Uncle Joey is legitimately the only human being I've ever met (and I've never even fucking met him) who's been able to articulate my level of pain. I owe this man a lot haha.
When you’re younger, you think life is just going to “happen” for you and you’ll be successful just because. You wait around for it. When you start to get around 30 is when you realize it isn’t going to just happen. You have to go out and make it happen.
As a veteran I’d have to say All the great shit the military does for you, it also takes away from you. They used me, then I used my GI bill Went to school, became a radar technician and never looked back. I’m now a Plant Engineer for UPS Use the world, because it sure uses you.
I’m 25 today; and I think I’m finally starting to realize that I’m lucky that I saw my father homeless on the streets twice at 19. It set me on the right path to pursue becoming an electrician apprentice and not just doing crappy jobs and being the complete opposite of what I saw in my childhood, Uncle Joey, thank you for your countless advice in all aspects for every single one of us.
Going through this now. I was an addict for about 11 years. Got out of rehab two years ago and I’m now laying down in my parents room at 4am In the morning. I’m finally moving out on Monday as a 28 year old. I can’t wait for some peace haha. God bless you all. Keep going everyone. It’s never too late 🙏
I’ve been depressed as shit lately , I got no job atm and I’m 25 I still have no clue what I want to do, have no direction or ambition but thanks joey for the inspiration!! I’m not gonna give up!!
I'm 26 and going on 27 bro and I'm in the same shoes as you. I have a job fortunately, but I'm not sure what I want to do in life. Just keep pushing man, there's a light at the end of a tunnel
@@rentalsnake6542 thank you for sharing that dude. Life has gotten a little better for myself since I posted this, finally got a delivery driving job not much but it’s a stepping stone I guess and I’ve recently started going back to the gym. Hope things get better for you bud
Same bro, lost my parents when I was just a kid. 9 years old. Shits crazyyy hard when you don’t have YOUR parents. Sure I love who raised me and appreciate it greatly. They just can’t love like your dad or mom. What sucks is I remember them and the feeling of happiness so vividly.
God bless brother. I lost my mom at age 26, I’m 28 now but I couldn’t imagine not growing up with my dad. My mother was an incredible person but and son and his father have a bond that can’t be described, that is if you have a good dad and not some drug addict or low life. All the best to you my man
Im 21 and I notice im going through the same things I seen other 21s go through, now im looking at 25-30 year old and thats when the real change happens from what ive seen.
It’s when your testosterone starts to fall off significantly. Couple that with a brain that just fully matured a few years ago, you’re thinking clearly rather than risk taking. Think about how many guys in their late 20s you see on Tosh.0
Me too brotha, I'm 31 and Uncle Joey always has me looking at life from a different perspective. He makes me realize a lot that I'm on the right track but I can always do better and can always work harder.
I m from India but I live in Canada rn away from my parents and videos of joey has helped me a lot in my hard time when I m confused or lost. Thanks uncle joey for all this free videos
Also, the amount of people I know who “think” they’ve made it once they have a degree and a house and a family....yet are 100K in debt at 10% interest not even including car payments....it’s not freedom people.
Yeah man I feel what Joey is saying. I’m 24, and my turning point was 23/early 24 and I feel this. Life goes so quick, and you don’t worry about life untill you realise that you are in a real bad spot. Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom to change your shit around
Hahahahaha I had the same pipe dream, I always thought I was destined for success and the Universe would just make it happen. I kept waiting and waiting and by the age of 34 I realised shit I've wasted half of my life on being lazy and entitled. Thank God I turned it around.🙏
The universe doesn’t hand u anything u gotta work towards anything and the universe will recognize that and put things in motion for you I’m living proof and some days u want to give up but u can’t there be that voice in ya head doubting it and that’s okay but fuck that voice keep on and do everything you have to do and you’ll see trust me
I once heard a 100 year old lady say “ you know the universe has a great memory “ work hard be a good person and the universe will recognize it brother. Much love and good luck on your journey. You know the guy who’s 35 will always think he’s old till he meets a 50 year old in the same situation. It’s never to late fir anyone.
I'm 25 and broke and been jobless for 2 months. I feel okay because this is the first time i haven't been working. Cheer up man there's always someone else out there that has it bad.
Same most of my peers in every industry are like this. 29 just not of jail no license & laborer on a pretty big construction site living in a dumpy spot next to a freeway. Living with gram & grandpa. Makin 14$ hrCompare your self to that guy ..
I'm 19 and I think I have what it takes to get to my true goals and dreams. The pressure is real but I love it , makes me motivated to actually get out my bed. My first goal is too drop 140lbs and I've done 30lbs so far currently 230. I've felt like I've wasted this past year so I have to get my focus sharper. I'm finna quit my job because it's a piece of shit not cuz I'm lazy but I've stayed late and came in on my days off and I've always asked myself if I can put all this effort in this job why not put that energy in too myself? I dont want too waste time anymore because it's too precious. Dont get me wrong I've made 10k at the grocery store but I worked too hard for too little. I know I have to sacrifice to get where I want to be!
Yeah bro I was in that same situation concerning your job. I quit because even though that was my only option at the time I knew I could get better eventually and that It was always gonna be better than staying at a shitty job with a shitty boss who didn't pay me enough (minimum wage) for the shit he would get me through. So yeah the days following my resignation I felt like shit because I didn't have nothing and that was my first job but guess what. Couple days after, I got a call from a friend who worked at a restaurant and asked me if I needed a job with him and I was getting payed way better and working a decent job with my friends with a decent boss. Don't settle for less, know your value and be patient.
This was uploaded 3 days after my first arrest last year. Joey diaz has helped me to realize my potential almost a year later. I'll always be grateful for the higher power putting shit I need put in my path.
It’s amazing, this video was uploaded 4 years ago when it would’ve been useless to me. Watching it right now it resonates so much. I’m still not taking life seriously, but we all mature at our time. Motivation and consistency is what’s needed.
How are you going to do well in life without having money Do you want to be homeless people say money can't buy Happiness but being broke can't buy shit either so I'll take my Chances being rich buys you more things then being broke or poor That the bullshit society tells people and they always bring A celebrity who killed themselves their millions of poor That kill themselves everyday it just doesn't get the same coverage As if a famous person and it's only a few that kill themselves it's Not the majority
23 yrs old working security, me and my girl living check to check just to afford our 1 bedroom. No degree and not entirely sure what I'm going to make out of this life but I think that's what makes it so fascinating and worth moving forward.
Ditch the girl and you'd have more money to live If you dont have kids There's no excuse to stay with a female They come and go You sound like a lazy simp
Get a trade my bro seriously it will take you place's and you know what you are worth once you get qualified if people don't pay it you can go elsewhere .
Im always gonna cherish the time I have watching these clips, more so with my guy Joe alive. Stay well brother I needed you my childhood when I was making stupid mistakes
Best advice you can give to anyone is to stop giving a shit. You’ll be surprised how much you do in life just to be playing a character in someone else’s story. Shut up, work hard, don’t give 2 shits what others think and you’ll see everything turning for the better. I promise. The first steps always the hardest tho right???🤷🏻♂️ you won’t start doing anything till you get tired of your own bullshit.
About to turn 29 soon, and nobody is 29 - basically 30. Like Joey i love to just get by, drifting and not being responsible. But if I want to give I have to get and if I want meaning I need responsibility. Thank you Joey, this is a reality check. I’m getting a life, I’m the man.
Fuck most of that hit home. 32, out of options, scamming/hustling/scheming just to get through another day doing kid shit/drugs etc with literally nothing going for me. Showering and keeping my room clean regularly would be a significant turn around. I really hope that someday I can be Joey's age and reflect back on right now being the time I was finally able to pull it together and regain a life that's actually worth living
We need to have more conversations like this as a country. I think the social media age has brainwashed people into thinking that life should always be entertaining and that our only goals to strive for are happiness. Life is a lot more deep and serious than many people are comfortable with esp in this age
This one hit hard to home, I’m a 19 year old guy went to college to be go into manufacturing. I’m now working as a press machine operator making good money. Sure it’s rare for someone at my age to follow a career path at such an age but at the same time it’s not something I see myself doing 30+ years
Seems like people that were born in the 40s & 60s stayed at a job for like 30 years or maybe 17 years at 1 company and another 12 at another People born in the 90s. 17 weeks or months or days. at a company that’s it
I got myself into machining, manufacturing is definitely a difficult career field to stay in these days, but we’ll figure it out, just listen to what your heart tells you.
Im 27 & completely lost mostly because my mind is governed by fear im so scared to put my all into something & get nothing out of it or loosing the comfortable life i have now but it is boring & depressing everyday same shit same small ass check just smoking weed watching movies something gotta give but idk how to create opportunities for myself because im not good at anything but one day i pray some catastrophic situation forces me out of my own way & i have a bi polar disorder so one day i may be motivated & face the world then the next day i’ll feel like it wasn’t meant for me to be shit just another human with a job getting by i wont settle if im like this at 40 i’ll take myself out i can’t do it
Look I was a alcoholic at 19 got me shit tgdr at 21 I'm 26 now and havnt touched a drink I smoke weed I keep me shit tgdr...try rehab pal even if ye don't get sober ye get tools that will help you in life..try it
@@lean.2366 I'm not going to try to do anything to try to convince you to change or anything but I feel you bro cuz I think we were all there at one point. Not saying this to denigrate the significance of whats going on to you either. Shit sucks bro. But I can honestly also say from experience that drinking robs your soul in its own right. Not to the severity of blow or God forbid meth and heroin but drinking is definitely up there. Listen to your brothers. Put down the bottle. Pick up any number of the metaphorical joints that your bro's are holding out to give ya and light that number up. It's Sunday November 17. I dont care what religion you are it's the *LORDS* day. Kick that fucking mule and most importantly the monkey that's on your back because that shit is no good and more deserving of a kick then the fucking mule if you ask me. I'm sending this to you out of love bro.
Keep on keeping on bro. I'm 29 now and never really drank but I know that life does get easier once you begin to understand you only have yourself and that's okay. Just enjoy life. Be healthy. Smoke reefer. Trip sometimes. Help others.
Mannn i hadda rewatch this one a few times it's too relatable this nigga best in Hollywood hands down he keeps it real and spits that oldhead wisdom but also the funniest mf ive ever watched.
This is actually very very deep from uncle Joey. I used to mess around with a French model a few years back...stunning girl but no work ethic at all. She earned a fortune working as a childminder 3 days a week for wealthy families. Complained she couldn't afford a home yet turned her nose up at unlimited overtime from the families she worked for, and had dreams of being a model. She literally had no interest in doing anything with her life other than being paid for how she looked...however time was catching up and she's now in her mid/late 30s, and still hasn't made it. She will wake up one day and realise she has wasted her life chasing one thing while not developing any other area of her life or skillsets...sad
35, gonna be 36 in a few months. My life has felt like a was on cruise control and just imagining things would work out. Now I've been through my dad passing recently and just feel lost, I still have dreams, but I can't get out of my own way. I still want to have hope, but my times just ticking away.
I don’t feel so alone anymore. I’m 29 about to turn 30. I lost my Fiancée, the home we lived in, our dog, our life. Moved back home with my parents. I have a full time job but barely making ends meet cause of my credit card debt . I’m broke and don’t even have $100 in my savings. This is a rare opportunity to really turn my life around. I have a business that I’m passionate about. I’m taking 6-7months or maybe even a year to pay off my debts. Then I’m quitting to go full time with my business. I want to be a millionaire or at least well off by 40. It starts now.
I had the wisdom at a young age to hit it hard.. but then I realized I was still lost af and burned out af - mostly from gaslighting brothers who made it seem that all my hard work was nothing. I’m 32 now. Had some hard moments personally and professionally. Now I’m readying myself to get back to it and back on it. Take care of your health first and foremost, it’s the only way you’ll make it long term. And make sure to rest when you can.
I really identify w Joey's honesty. Seems like he really doesn't want people to make the same mistakes most of us have made. Good shit. He been where I have been and experienced the same feelings I have. Love that guy
‘Jim Rohn - Life is Serious’ is my favorite speech of all time. That speech made me 8 hours a day while I worked Pest Control to get a cushy government job doing IT. Jim Rohn changed my life.
That range is so interesting since I hit that acceptance of what I want to do… not something I came up with but something I genuinely feel that I need to do. It’s really like I was just thinking so short term before but now things are long term. Also really started to love learning and now I read pretty much daily. Started a workout program that I like and now I’m also planning a business I want to create. Shit is scary as fuck at times but I know what life will be if I just keep what I was doing up. I’d hate it and eventually hate myself again like I did back in high school.
I’m glad the comments here are supportive to each other. You won’t find that on Facebook. I don’t care how much better you got it than others if it bugs you then it bugs you. Me personally, I don’t know what the hell im doing or why I’m slightly just lost. In my friends and other people’s perspective you would say I have a great life at 21.. me and my wife live comfortably. I’m in the military and she’s working as well. I have about 16k in my savings, a nice car and a beautiful wife... we live a great comfortable life but I still feel like I’m doing something pointless. I can’t put my finger on it but I’m just lost in my life sometimes.

So glad Uncle Joey is talking about "being 28" Because I'm 28 till tuesday and I've wanted to hear from someone with experience to know what "being 28" should feel like
@@travisnelson9104 parts of what he said dont apply to me so it makes me have a bit of confidence in my decisions -- however the overall message was a welcome insight
There’s no such thing as a certain feeling for a certain age. Hi situation is common, because it’s one of someone who hasn’t accomplished anything up until a point. Most people don’t do anything with their lives. If your life is similar to his at that age, you’re a loser. Joey is trying to say, if you’re like him and you’re a loser, don’t make the same mistakes he made. I’m 28 now, I’ve accomplished so much, I’m extremely happy now and live 15 min from Times Sq. I’m not saying this to brag, (we can always do better) I’m saying it because in contrast, no one is the same, if you’re 28 with 0$ it’s not “normal”, it’s you, which is normal.
The dream came true in the end 😮I keep hearing that god will give you want you want if you let him but it’s not always in the ways you want… something like that
Hell yeah I mean marine corps sucks and it’s annoying getting yelled at but all in all, life is good. Minimal bills, drinkin, having fun, doing badass shit and at the end of the day they’ve got your back. Yes it’s strict, yes it’s annoying but I’m reality that shit is easy asf
u make me feel so much less alone joey seriously man thank you

When you’re younger, you think life is just going to “happen” for you and you’ll be successful just because. You wait around for it. When you start to get around 30 is when you realize it isn’t going to just happen. You have to go out and make it happen.

I’m 25 and I have no idea what I’m doing. I feel like life is moving so quickly, but at the same time things are moving slow.
Hope things are better today
@@tremesa4372 thanks man. 3 years later I’m in a much better space. Life is good. Hope the same for you.
@@Amm9what changed for you? Or what changes did you make
How you doing
If you tied Lee's hands together....he couldnt talk.
Fair point
I love how simple and unique this podcast is. Something about it makes it feel so comforting and humbling. Thank you !
They didn’t put you on this earth to give up
4:20 Truth, this guy on the street once told me his richness was not in wealth but in life.
How are you going to do well in life without having money
Do you want to be homeless people say money can't buy
Happiness but being broke can't buy shit either so I'll take my
Chances being rich buys you more things then being broke or poor
That the bullshit society tells people and they always bring
A celebrity who killed themselves their millions of poor
That kill themselves everyday it just doesn't get the same coverage
As if a famous person and it's only a few that kill themselves it's
Not the majority
23 yrs old working security, me and my girl living check to check just to afford our 1 bedroom. No degree and not entirely sure what I'm going to make out of this life but I think that's what makes it so fascinating and worth moving forward.
Keep fighting brother, hold it down
Join a trade union.
Ditch the girl and you'd have more money to live
If you dont have kids
There's no excuse to stay with a female
They come and go
You sound like a lazy simp
Get a trade my bro seriously it will take you place's and you know what you are worth once you get qualified if people don't pay it you can go elsewhere .
kingjames 23 how does he sound like a simp 😂
I’m 65 and I see Joey as my really kool little brother! Love listening to him any time.
I desperately needed this today. God bless all.
Damn 4 years ago
OG dropping gems
Needed that
Im always gonna cherish the time I have watching these clips, more so with my guy Joe alive. Stay well brother I needed you my childhood when I was making stupid mistakes
Joey is the father figure I never had 😂😂💯😂😂🤦♀️🤷♀️
joey man... the gift that keeps on giving
We all count on the big break when we are young.
After coasting through school I thought I could coast through life. I was wrong
I’m 42 and still waiting bro
26 yrs old now, 27 in May. Thanks for this joey
Best advice you can give to anyone is to stop giving a shit. You’ll be surprised how much you do in life just to be playing a character in someone else’s story. Shut up, work hard, don’t give 2 shits what others think and you’ll see everything turning for the better. I promise. The first steps always the hardest tho right???🤷🏻♂️ you won’t start doing anything till you get tired of your own bullshit.
About to turn 29 soon, and nobody is 29 - basically 30. Like Joey i love to just get by, drifting and not being responsible. But if I want to give I have to get and if I want meaning I need responsibility.
Thank you Joey, this is a reality check. I’m getting a life, I’m the man.
Lee gets clowned a lot, but he’s a real chill dude. Perfect partner for Joey.
Fuck most of that hit home. 32, out of options, scamming/hustling/scheming just to get through another day doing kid shit/drugs etc with literally nothing going for me. Showering and keeping my room clean regularly would be a significant turn around. I really hope that someday I can be Joey's age and reflect back on right now being the time I was finally able to pull it together and regain a life that's actually worth living
Hope you're in a better place now dude
We need to have more conversations like this as a country. I think the social media age has brainwashed people into thinking that life should always be entertaining and that our only goals to strive for are happiness. Life is a lot more deep and serious than many people are comfortable with esp in this age
This one hit hard to home, I’m a 19 year old guy went to college to be go into manufacturing. I’m now working as a press machine operator making good money. Sure it’s rare for someone at my age to follow a career path at such an age but at the same time it’s not something I see myself doing 30+ years
Seems like people that were born in the 40s & 60s stayed at a job for like 30 years or maybe 17 years at 1 company and another 12 at another
People born in the 90s. 17 weeks or months or days. at a company that’s it
Wow, I’m 19 and still in high school, never had a job either.
I got myself into machining, manufacturing is definitely a difficult career field to stay in these days, but we’ll figure it out, just listen to what your heart tells you.
Im 27 & completely lost mostly because my mind is governed by fear im so scared to put my all into something & get nothing out of it or loosing the comfortable life i have now but it is boring & depressing everyday same shit same small ass check just smoking weed watching movies something gotta give but idk how to create opportunities for myself because im not good at anything but one day i pray some catastrophic situation forces me out of my own way & i have a bi polar disorder so one day i may be motivated & face the world then the next day i’ll feel like it wasn’t meant for me to be shit just another human with a job getting by i wont settle if im like this at 40 i’ll take myself out i can’t do it
You only have a Bi Polar disorder because you think you do…
Yo how you doing? Still smoking weed? Starting to think that is the culprit but that may be wishful thinking
Complacency is the enemy
This is the realist shit I’ve ever heard. Needed to hear this.
"I was livin like Rocky Balboa". Hahahaha lol!
"I wanna live like John Rambo"
Lol
“They didn’t put you on this planet just to give up” I tell myself this everyday I wake up
Had heart broken, had some career success and failure, drinking like a savage now barely getting by at 23.
I feel you bro. I'm 21 and at the same spot you're at. Broken heart, drinking heavily and can't give my 100% at work.
Look I was a alcoholic at 19 got me shit tgdr at 21 I'm 26 now and havnt touched a drink I smoke weed I keep me shit tgdr...try rehab pal even if ye don't get sober ye get tools that will help you in life..try it
I was in treatment 3 times before age of 21 I'm in Ireland shits real over here life starts youge
@@lean.2366 I'm not going to try to do anything to try to convince you to change or anything but I feel you bro cuz I think we were all there at one point. Not saying this to denigrate the significance of whats going on to you either. Shit sucks bro. But I can honestly also say from experience that drinking robs your soul in its own right. Not to the severity of blow or God forbid meth and heroin but drinking is definitely up there. Listen to your brothers. Put down the bottle. Pick up any number of the metaphorical joints that your bro's are holding out to give ya and light that number up. It's Sunday November 17. I dont care what religion you are it's the *LORDS* day. Kick that fucking mule and most importantly the monkey that's on your back because that shit is no good and more deserving of a kick then the fucking mule if you ask me. I'm sending this to you out of love bro.
Keep on keeping on bro. I'm 29 now and never really drank but I know that life does get easier once you begin to understand you only have yourself and that's okay. Just enjoy life. Be healthy. Smoke reefer. Trip sometimes. Help others.
Joey D.....always educational ....
priceless life lessons!
Gotta love Joey D.....
Thank u so much for this
You wasn't put on this planet to give up
Que genial el tio Joey, aprecio mucho sus consejos.
"They didn't put you in this planet to give up"
Joey writing his thoughts on paper Diaz
Mannn i hadda rewatch this one a few times it's too relatable this nigga best in Hollywood hands down he keeps it real and spits that oldhead wisdom but also the funniest mf ive ever watched.
Joey “Jon Rambo” Diaz
I love these old deep chats
Whether you're having a good run or a bad run I think we'll all agree smoking a number will always help you get through it
won’t help you fix the problem tho
@@saturatedneowax low-key kind of does. Smoking could change the perspective
Band-aid approach
Mushrooms will forsure change your perspective on stuff and might encourage some change. You have to take enough tho not a baby dose
i started listening to joey when i turned 29, it's scary real how true it is. shit flips, just sucks it took so long. you rule joey!
This is actually very very deep from uncle Joey. I used to mess around with a French model a few years back...stunning girl but no work ethic at all. She earned a fortune working as a childminder 3 days a week for wealthy families. Complained she couldn't afford a home yet turned her nose up at unlimited overtime from the families she worked for, and had dreams of being a model. She literally had no interest in doing anything with her life other than being paid for how she looked...however time was catching up and she's now in her mid/late 30s, and still hasn't made it. She will wake up one day and realise she has wasted her life chasing one thing while not developing any other area of her life or skillsets...sad
Literally searched, “am I living my life too seriously?” And this popped up…Great listen 🤝🏾
Joey's right on.. I'm almost 26.. been broken hearted many times.. somethings changing in me at this age.. only a month away from being 26
Keep your head up G
How’s life going 4 years later?
Thank you Joey for helping us all, god bless your soul
just turned 26. life gets real fast joey speaking the truth here
Same
35, gonna be 36 in a few months. My life has felt like a was on cruise control and just imagining things would work out. Now I've been through my dad passing recently and just feel lost, I still have dreams, but I can't get out of my own way. I still want to have hope, but my times just ticking away.
How you doing?
@@Analoguebubblebath89 better than I was
@@MrEarnbud good
19 right now. been getting that uncle joey wisdom since i was about 6.
So glad I’m 20 years old hearing this. I feel like I can get ahead early
I don’t feel so alone anymore. I’m 29 about to turn 30. I lost my Fiancée, the home we lived in, our dog, our life. Moved back home with my parents. I have a full time job but barely making ends meet cause of my credit card debt . I’m broke and don’t even have $100 in my savings. This is a rare opportunity to really turn my life around. I have a business that I’m passionate about. I’m taking 6-7months or maybe even a year to pay off my debts. Then I’m quitting to go full time with my business. I want to be a millionaire or at least well off by 40. It starts now.
Taught me years worth of wisdom in 13 minutes,Great video for the people.
I had the wisdom at a young age to hit it hard.. but then I realized I was still lost af and burned out af - mostly from gaslighting brothers who made it seem that all my hard work was nothing.
I’m 32 now. Had some hard moments personally and professionally. Now I’m readying myself to get back to it and back on it. Take care of your health first and foremost, it’s the only way you’ll make it long term. And make sure to rest when you can.
I really identify w Joey's honesty. Seems like he really doesn't want people to make the same mistakes most of us have made. Good shit. He been where I have been and experienced the same feelings I have. Love that guy
high as fuck listening to this realizing it 100% applies to my life
‘Jim Rohn - Life is Serious’ is my favorite speech of all time. That speech made me 8 hours a day while I worked Pest Control to get a cushy government job doing IT. Jim Rohn changed my life.
Hey brother I am currently doing the corsera cyber security course 😁
That range is so interesting since I hit that acceptance of what I want to do… not something I came up with but something I genuinely feel that I need to do. It’s really like I was just thinking so short term before but now things are long term. Also really started to love learning and now I read pretty much daily. Started a workout program that I like and now I’m also planning a business I want to create. Shit is scary as fuck at times but I know what life will be if I just keep what I was doing up. I’d hate it and eventually hate myself again like I did back in high school.
Dawg I listen to this clip everyday
I’m glad the comments here are supportive to each other. You won’t find that on Facebook. I don’t care how much better you got it than others if it bugs you then it bugs you. Me personally, I don’t know what the hell im doing or why I’m slightly just lost. In my friends and other people’s perspective you would say I have a great life at 21.. me and my wife live comfortably. I’m in the military and she’s working as well. I have about 16k in my savings, a nice car and a beautiful wife... we live a great comfortable life but I still feel like I’m doing something pointless. I can’t put my finger on it but I’m just lost in my life sometimes.
Joey's right about 28. That's where I am. 29 now. It's hard.
Have you watched david goggins videos? They are the truth.
Travis Nelson same
Try being 40 and broke once, that's scary
LoL..33, doin alright....been VERY VERY VERY LOW...those caps aint even big enough...hang in there
@@MCJOHNSON95 David Goggins is real. Sometimes I suppress my anger at myself and the world, I think he did too till it got to a point he built so much energy in himself it will take him a lifetime to exert it and be satisfied
As someone who just turned 28 last month to my people 25 and younger please take heed in what he said 💯
You got a job, a heartbeat and a license, you’re fuckin solid
Man i would love to meet Joey.
2 degrees and a corporate job. Good money and living in a nice part of the city. 25 years old.
My friends say I'm a role model and successful. I always tell them I'm no role model. Little do they know, on the inside I'm anxious and lonely. I dont have life figured out at all.
Dang God Bless you brother live life just feel the resistance
corporate jobs get outsourced. see 1990s.
LOL, wtf u talking about. grow some balls. u have ur finances set and ur lonely? get ur shit together, guy.
Always inspirational, no matter where you come from or what your background, joey diaz a top guy!
I'm 28. No job. Live at home. Depressed don't see any point in trying
I was you 3 years ago.
You have to laugh at yourself bro. Fucking laugh at yourself
Why can't you get a job? Go get a trade. You're a human right?
JC V He’s probably just some fat junkie. He’s killing himself with food and drugs. So why would anybody want to hire him, first we have to respect our own bodies
360SRH 2 you’re one of those idiots who’s making 60k kissing their bosses ass and do nothing but talk shit to others online because you think you’re tough shit🤣
Loved hearing this
That Def Leppard High n' Dry record on the wall is a masterpiece.
So glad Uncle Joey is talking about "being 28"
Because I'm 28 till tuesday and I've wanted to hear from someone with experience to know what "being 28" should feel like
I'm 29 and am going through the same stuff Joey said. Wild
@@travisnelson9104 parts of what he said dont apply to me so it makes me have a bit of confidence in my decisions -- however the overall message was a welcome insight
There’s no such thing as a certain feeling for a certain age. Hi situation is common, because it’s one of someone who hasn’t accomplished anything up until a point. Most people don’t do anything with their lives. If your life is similar to his at that age, you’re a loser. Joey is trying to say, if you’re like him and you’re a loser, don’t make the same mistakes he made. I’m 28 now, I’ve accomplished so much, I’m extremely happy now and live 15 min from Times Sq. I’m not saying this to brag, (we can always do better) I’m saying it because in contrast, no one is the same, if you’re 28 with 0$ it’s not “normal”, it’s you, which is normal.
Im 27 in December
wait til 39
Joe Diaz should have a mill subs very underrated
I’m 23 and I feel myself falling into this, I feel like I’m falling in a pit trying to grab part of the wall to climb out but I can’t grasp it
I'm 32 and I relate with this so damn much.
The dream came true in the end 😮I keep hearing that god will give you want you want if you let him but it’s not always in the ways you want… something like that
This one hits hard for me.
Hell yeah I mean marine corps sucks and it’s annoying getting yelled at but all in all, life is good. Minimal bills, drinkin, having fun, doing badass shit and at the end of the day they’ve got your back. Yes it’s strict, yes it’s annoying but I’m reality that shit is easy asf
Joey "you wanna get to him you gotta go through me" Diaz
