I used to be a hoarder, and the point about turning against loved ones is very very true. Thankfully, I have learned to control it cause when pandemic hit, I was in my final semester of college and had to leave the apartment I was living in to go back home. I had to give away and part with so many things I couldn't imagine being without. But since then, I have a rule that if I don't think about something for 6 months, it is gone. I mostly give it away to someone, instead of throwing it away; which makes me feel better.
Thank you for this episode guys. I’ve been alternating between smoke-addiction and alcohol-addiction off late; Neville’s words resonated most with me, he seemed to speak to my soul with those empathy-drenched words. It’s also wonderful to see 4 guys who’re so different in terms of their addictions!
Hoarding can come from attachment issues. I have got toys from when I was 2 years old working till now. In some ways, it also turns into pride about the care, maintenance put into it and good usage. I hoard food items and keep delaying eating/drinking the last item from a collection till/after its expiry. It has become less in terms of food due to availability and home delivery services. I have the body of my college phone from 2011 and working personal laptop from 2012. Been using a phone with green lines for over 3 months because giving up a phone used for over 2 years would be painful.
kautuk telling stories, varun enacting, bawa explaingin whys of the stories , aadar looking pretty and changin wallpaeprs and giving facts once in a while.. and for a fleeting minute all seems okay in this fucked up shithole of a planet. my life has changed(loike everyone else's i reckon) in the past 5 yrs so much.. ..i can count on single hand the things 2010 me has in common with 2023 me.. and that is you 4 guys.. in summary - Thank you..
I was reading Friends, lovers and the big terrible thing by Matthew Perry and I was just so shocked to read the withdrawal symptoms of drugs.I think people who decide to quit on such things are strong and very brave.
16.17 talking about hypnotism: it works on the principle of suggestibility. If you already have a block in your mind that it's not going to work, then it won't work. Also it's not as easy as swinging a pendulum in from of the eyes, there are a lot of effort, connecting with the client, building a rapport, exchanging of info and confidentiality which goes into this. It's a beautiful science.
A lot of bhankas but a serious topic handled with some tact in the middle of all of it. Love these kinds of episodes. You should do serious topics more frequently
Good to see a serious topic being discussed. You guys should discuss more serious topics sometimes. It’s a nice change with Ofcourse few laughs in between :)
You know what guys...THANKYOU!! Thankyou and i mean it in the sweetest way possible...you are always ON in my ears. I feel less lonely. I sleep hearing the podcasts. I give my exam duties hearing you guys. I do every chore hearing you all. Huge Thankyou for existing and doing what you do. ~ A fan since 2017
Varun your story of smoking is exactly same as mine,from hating cigarette smoke to becoming a smoker,stealing dads cigarettes everything same,I’ve been a smoker for more than 10 years 1 pack a day,but I quit smoking in 2018,no gum or patch works we all know that,it’s all psychological,I watched videos of how smoking harms and read about it whole night and stopped smoking next day,first 3 days are the toughest,but once you cross that phase it becomes easier day by day.try it you will see so many differences in your body and you will love the feeling of being a non smoker.
Great going Neville!!!! ❤❤ Also such a good episode. I love that Bawa brought a serious element to it as well. I feel some topics can have serious discussions here 😊
same here kautuk,, I also think that I have addictive tendencies.. that's why I quit and now never play games online and never download them on my phone.. And I think mostly freelancers face this problem..
Very nice episode.. kudos to Varun for discussing his smoking addiction.. Some very practical discussions on various other issues as well like the one that should be had.
I realised after Neville mentioned his chai addiction... That many liquid containers are words with a U, as if visually describing a container.... Cup, mug, jug, tub😃 It feels like a discovery 😂
There is a guy in Inauit, Canada (very cold area) where Northern lights are seen, there is a guy name Sam Sanitizer who drinks sanitizer, it's v remote area so one fine day he took a truck (to steal / rob) on the airport runway when he knew a consignment of Sanitizer is being shipped
1:08:46 - The concept of zombie came from Haitian zombi, and it was actually used to make someone your slave for a while. This story became zombie in pop culture as it was believed they reanimated the dead.
Quit smoking cold turkey BUT I researched and found out all the Whys of my smoking addiction. Reasons included the environment, declined mental-health, declined self-esteem, friends, common activities between friends. Fortunately, I moved to a different country leaving major reason (friends) behind and boom. It helped me a lot. I still had really bad cravings but I managed. I also turned smoking addiction to less harmful ones for a period for e.g. sugar, chocolate then coffee. Now, after almost 3 years, I have no addiction. Not even coffee.. The main thing about quitting any addiction is to understand the inner workings and reasons behind that move as well as triggers.. You can do it. It's possible.
Hey just a small thing I noticed with the screen divisions. Kautuk’s box is yellow but his name is cyan and Varun’s box is cyan and name yellow but Nevil’s and Adar’s box and name are of the same colour. I don’t know why, but it just bugged me… sorry for this comment😂
“Most of your problems in your life are cold open” 1.THAT IS GOING ON A T-SHIRT 2.I AM GOING TO TELL EVERY CHILD THAT WHEN THEY ASK ME FOR ADVICE! Adhar is like a living feeling of when you have 3 glasses of brandy.
On the matter of understanding, i love that episode on the west wing where leo talks about his alcoholism to a white house staffer. wonderful depiction of addiction on screen

"That was the perfect moment to spit, but you chose to swallow" - Varun & Neville, TISS, 2023.
😂😂😂😂
Nobody swallows in kanpur, they all spit
Hojayesh!
TISS - Nobody does it better
😂😂😂😂
It was refreshing to see Bawa talk about his dad's alcoholism so openly. It's never easy.
I will drink so much tonight till I am someone else's problem.
-AADAR'S FRIEND
Varun is an inspiration for talking about his smoking addiction, hats off Boi 👏
Really man!!

I'm laughing for 30 mins at Aadar's " Voh Indore (Indoor) pe kyu thukega ? voh toh Kanpur se h na " 🤣🤣🤣
Aadar's silly, eye-rolly humour makes my day😂😂
Varun has single handedly auditionedd for a Gutka advertise better than all the gutka ads ever
Kautuk’s gutka acting on point 😂
You can take a man out of UP, but you can’t take UP out of a man.
He is from UP bro.
Genes kicking in

Its good to see kuldeep yadav have a break and refresh himself. ❤
At ~56 mins you really can see Bawa's passion for mental health. Happy to see you guys again
Best podcast to listen while sleeping it really helps me out! 😂😂
Sometimes I don’t understand if comments like these are positive or like “Podcast so boring it helps me sleep” 🤔🤔🤔
I do that too bro 😂😂🙌🙌
same bro, I always put on tiss and set the timer to 15 minutes and I pass out
Welcome back you guys. Hello from Luxembourg. Talking about addictions, I am addicted to TISS 😊
Hoarding can come from attachment issues. I have got toys from when I was 2 years old working till now.

aadar was on fire with his one liner throughout 😂

RIP Matthew Perry
Bawa, proud of you for what you’ve done! Great going!
43:21 Team Hoarder of Books, UNITE! It’s very hard to part with books.
Also, I hoard stationery of all sorts.
@6:00 "Dubai itself is a Sheikh Shack" hahahhahahaha
Great episode guys- hilarious, informational and empathetic. Full support to Bawa, keep going, you'll beat your record.
4:44 Ambient viewing is important to me too. It’s really tough finding something to just play in the background as you eat.

This was a heart felt episode. It pushed me to introspect.
The opening was rehearsed for 30 mins 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i lost it at that!!!! 😂
the way their conversation makes me smile and laugh speaks a lot about a connection they've formed with us, thankyou boys and lofe you!
Bade din baad apne boys ko dekh ke kitna accha laga. Had a good hearty laugh! Full support to bawe ❤
Undercover Bad Habits part 2 😂😂 and i am here for it ❤❤
Omg! Idk if I am going crazy on my periods or this is the cutest thing I have ever read.
An almost 2 hr long episode?? This is amazing 🎉💘

Kautuk's reaction to Bawa's "double click" pun, Hahahahaha. I had the exact same reaction 😅
Varun your story of smoking is exactly same as mine,from hating cigarette smoke to becoming a smoker,stealing dads cigarettes everything same,I’ve been a smoker for more than 10 years 1 pack a day,but I quit smoking in 2018,no gum or patch works we all know that,it’s all psychological,I watched videos of how smoking harms and read about it whole night and stopped smoking next day,first 3 days are the toughest,but once you cross that phase it becomes easier day by day.try it you will see so many differences in your body and you will love the feeling of being a non smoker.
Great going Neville!!!! ❤❤
Also such a good episode. I love that Bawa brought a serious element to it as well. I feel some topics can have serious discussions here 😊
🎉 #BawaSIMP 🥰
Team:- ok today we talk about addiction
Kautuk:- ok Hold my jawar puffs
For that matter, hoarding photos in the phone is also something. For that also, I have a rule that 4 pictures for one day. That's it!
same here kautuk,, I also think that I have addictive tendencies.. that's why I quit and now never play games online and never download them on my phone.. And I think mostly freelancers face this problem..
35:45 In the UK, I’ve heard of an establishment that are determined to have fun vibes without alcohol and provide alcohol free alternatives.
Very nice episode.. kudos to Varun for discussing his smoking addiction..
Some very practical discussions on various other issues as well like the one that should be had.
I realised after Neville mentioned his chai addiction... That many liquid containers are words with a U, as if visually describing a container.... Cup, mug, jug, tub😃
It feels like a discovery 😂
Guysssss I know this is dumb but "COMEDY" should be one of the topics 😅😅😅
Aadar is like one of my friend, so irritatingly funny
It is 5.30 AM here, haven't gone to sleep yet. Addicted to TISS for sure.
1:31:33
"Kanpur ki baat chalri hai, not indore" WOW WTF🤣🤣🤣
imagine listening to this on apple music and Spotify 😂
31:35 Bhaisaab, social causes and social drinking are 2 separate things lol
1:40:05 Kautuk dying😂😂😂
Reminder to Varun to take that term life insurance
There is a guy in Inauit, Canada (very cold area) where Northern lights are seen, there is a guy name Sam Sanitizer who drinks sanitizer, it's v remote area so one fine day he took a truck (to steal / rob) on the airport runway when he knew a consignment of Sanitizer is being shipped
4:38
Not me watching tiss podcasts including this one while studying
The amount of stimulus required to be attentive nowadays 😅😢
One of the best episodes ever 😭❤️
6:40 Protective Cover, Handle, Parental Controls, and Children-only accounts.
32:02 34:29 OGs will remember these stories.
Watching this again after Matthew Perry death , hits so different 💔like how much of trouble he went through that alone
Neville - is Pan parag a ghutka
Aadar - depends on which year you took it😂
What is funny, it is a fact
1:35:13 friend: hey, whats this new brand of coffee? *takes a sip* Eazyspit user: aaeeee!!!
why was masturbation and porn addiction not talked about guys. I am sure many people are addicted to this since it is so easily accesible.
Bhai ne personally le liya 👁
41:11 Bawa trying to explain Johari's window of addiction.
Proud TISS addict ❤️❤️
Finally our fav guys have come ❤🎉
She disowned me as quickly as one disowns their own fart, when in public 🤣
I'm actually rewatching random tiss episodes while I do chores 🙈 hard relate to Aadar's point
Bawa’s face at 0:13 😂
The last 30 mins was absolutely crazy...Don't miss
@adaar at 04:44 is all of us with TISS
All this talk about addictions had me craving for a drink XD
37:07 I vote yes for alcohol alternative ads.
4:30 max relate Aadar bhai 🤝🏻
Loudermilk is another great depiction of recovering alcoholism but slightly light hearted
1:08:46 - The concept of zombie came from Haitian zombi, and it was actually used to make someone your slave for a while. This story became zombie in pop culture as it was believed they reanimated the dead.
Deprived of a regular Tuesday, we have our Friday evenings set 🔥
P.S. Varun’s drunk persona has a separate fan base lol
Kitna nalla hain reh tu zindagi nahi hain kya ?
@@Zizo_786 I could ask you the same since you took out precious time from your extremely productive life to type out your unsolicited opinion
Quit smoking cold turkey BUT I researched and found out all the Whys of my smoking addiction.
Reasons included the environment, declined mental-health, declined self-esteem, friends, common activities between friends.
Fortunately, I moved to a different country leaving major reason (friends) behind and boom.
It helped me a lot.
I still had really bad cravings but I managed.
I also turned smoking addiction to less harmful ones for a period for e.g. sugar, chocolate then coffee.
Now, after almost 3 years, I have no addiction. Not even coffee..
The main thing about quitting any addiction is to understand the inner workings and reasons behind that move as well as triggers..
You can do it. It's possible.
Bawa is soo good in the first half minute.
Hey just a small thing I noticed with the screen divisions. Kautuk’s box is yellow but his name is cyan and Varun’s box is cyan and name yellow but Nevil’s and Adar’s box and name are of the same colour. I don’t know why, but it just bugged me… sorry for this comment😂
*silently looks at the plate of food in front of me while watching this* 4:30
This episode is my fav after the Life Advice one. Rewatch value is great for me!
Mera addiction toh TISS hai re 😂
Aadar has evolved. this is great to listen to
Good episode after so long. Missed it.
Congrats BAWA , full support u can do it
“Most of your problems in your life are cold open”
1.THAT IS GOING ON A T-SHIRT
2.I AM GOING TO TELL EVERY CHILD THAT WHEN THEY ASK ME FOR ADVICE!
Adhar is like a living feeling of when you have 3 glasses of brandy.
A very very funny episode in a long time.
😂🙈
Great episode. Varun, could you link the article you spoke about at 8:50?
Suggestion...start adding chapters of each segue... that will help
Kautuk what about having a library membership or donating books to a library
On the matter of understanding, i love that episode on the west wing where leo talks about his alcoholism to a white house staffer. wonderful depiction of addiction on screen
Thank you for this episode❤ I need to get in touch with Neville
So true TISS is addiction and stress buster ❤
Finally some real good episode thankyouuuu
I'm addicted to laziness
It’s no surprise to anyone that I’m addicted to comments and memes lmao
निर्लज्ज तू फिर आ गया 😂
Cold turkey right here! 😌❤️
This was too real man
23:35 AADAR is so real for this but instead of cake, it’s pizza for me.
Bawa - kyunki hum samajte hai tiss aapka addiction hai .. 💯true! 😅
As a psychologist, i approve of this episode!😊❤
