@@Kushgroove234it just be that way sometimes, he’s clearly a successful guy so let him cook and figure his stuff out. I personally find him very entertaining and the JRE to be the perfect place for me to enjoy him.
Ahahahahaha, i don't know the man and he seems like a good person but his is going 1000 kmh an hour, but the shit with the edibles just like you say he starts and doesn't shut up for the first 5 minutes and by the way until the rest of the show probably, I'm 34 minutes in and his still ratatatatata😂
Idk him personally, but when I started having anxiety like him I eventually realized that I had to stop smoking... The weed that is around now is nothing like the weed from like 15 years ago that just made you giggle .. the weed now is just too potent and the high is just too intense and is not fun at all anymore... And when I quit it got a little bit better... I didnt stop having anxiety all together but the weed definitely wasn't helping at all
Yo I am listening to soooo many hate and make fun of his rant but honestly - I didn’t even know this guy before seeing this so I have no opinion personally w him - but I looked him up and he’s a successful millionaire and rising star …. Most of our elite “celebrities “ have TEAMS of PR firms and publicist and other media hacks paid tons to cover up , hide , and make problems disappear so that their client looks like a great person. At least he said what he was thinking and spoke openly and honestly … That is a real person. And everyone commenting and being sarcastic or snarky is f’ing nuts cause their lives are far far far from perfect and yet he didn’t do what most fake ass rich celebrities do and he’s now a joke to everyone? It’s not nice. And not fair. He coulda just blew himself the entire interview and projected that life is perfect and most people would blindly clap and suck D and he spoke like he would to a friend and was honest - We need more of this rather than more of the bottom feeders hating while most likely the people speaking are spouse less and make no money and pretend things are great becuase they are narcissistic
This was the best comedian interview ever. He explains anxiety better than I’ve ever heard. He’s a true comedian, as in he’s just naturally funny. Great storyteller as I could imagine everything he said, as he said it. His whole story should be made into a movie, starring him.
i made it to 16 minutes. im done listening to this guy whine like an over grown toddler. 👎 all i hear is “me, me, me, me” this guy is exhausting. good grief 😳
this episode really hit me. theres just something about chris that just clicks with me and joe talking about it honestlly helped me reconsider everything. Thank you joe
@@dewmontain123you don't know him or what we went through as a youth. He clearly had obstacles he overcame. Unlike brokies like yourself who don't even have their own sh together let alone support a family. Hating will get you nowhere in life
The amount of money he lost on renovating then selling the house, he could have built a bagel shed in the backyard and hired an old school Jew from Queens to bake the bagels every morning for like the next 5 years.
Self-doubt and the feeling of being constantly incorrect in one's thoughts and actions can severely undermine one's life. I hope he finds peace and overcomes this challenging phase.
He makes impulsive financial decisions costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and plies his addict family members with cash for drugs. A healthy dose of self-doubt is exactly what this guy needed.
Broooo fuckn aye, it's 7am, just woke up, tryna enjoy this muffin n cup of tea. I'm legit about to throw myself head first out my 2 floor apartment window holy shit he's bat shit crazy
Chris is definitely one if my favorite guests on here. He makes my stomach hurt from laughing so hard, and the way he talks about his anxiety brings me comfort as someone who also has anxiety. Great episode
not going to lie, haven't checked out any of Chris's comedy, I will now, but his honesty and willingness to be so open and honest about what he thinks does and how he feels is so refreshing - he is just a dude trying his best like we all are, I love that, big love chris hope you get a new home on the go that feels like home - but remember home is where your loved ones are its not a real place
But by all means it’s not making your family leave a nice house to go live in a roach infested apartment so that you can be closer to a bagel shop and not realizing there was one a block away 😂
Chris is a real ass dude. You can tell Joe isn't quite getting what he's going through but Chris is going through some real stuff and should be commended for putting it out there. He's hilarious and deserves all the success.
You are so patient and generous with Chris, such a good friend. I'm back in. You gotta good heart, Joe. Chrissy keeps walking himself back into his demons and darkness even though he says he's well and and believes the good stuff and takes your advice for two minutes, for two minutes then he's right back in. He's def leans into it. It's his drug, his anxiety. He can't part with it - it's like his baby blanket. I hope the best for him - he needs you man - U are good Friend.

You gotta love Joe for using kid gloves and really trying to help him to the best of his ability. “You wanna be like me? You know what you need to do? Do that thing that you know you should do every time, and then there isn’t anxiety and relaxation can be relaxing.” Life is hard for everybody, and worrying about how hard it is for you right now really misses the whole point. If you come up with a reason why you’re the way you are and only focus on that, you’ll believe it whether or not it’s true. Beware of excuses or explanations because the problem isn’t whether or not anybody else believes it, nor is the problem whether or not it’s true. The problem is when you believe it.

Chris is a good man very funny and I feel the pain he gets from anxiety i suffer from it too but joe really is a good host and a great friend caring for him great podcast!
Chrissy D is the most intense example of imposter syndrome i've ever seen. Dude, you're funny, successful, have a beautiful family, you're more good looking than 99 percent of men out there, in shape, so charming that even your trauma dumping is likeable,.. Just chill. Enjoy it, everyone likes you, and you made it. And you deserve it.
Even if he had a certain "childhood" theres so much more BS billions go through than being teased by Italian uncles. The problem is like a lot of Americans, is NO Perspective. Soft, they haven't been exposed to REAL problems so the hyper focus on their petty BS
Chris, if you read this, I had THE EXACT SAME kind of anxiety as you. After years of hell I finally got diagnosed with ocd. Didn’t change my obsessive thoughts but, taught me how to manage it. Look into that
My girlfriend has diagnosed OCD. Intrusive thoughts. And it's been the weirdest thing I've experienced. We've been together 5 years. And I still don't believe I've met and know the real version of who she is. Cause she's so involved with every single thought she has she doesn't have time to live in the moment and just be. Or at the very most those times are very few and not for long.
Nah. He definitely needs to be diagnosed by an actual medical professional but at 50:21 Chris is explaining to a T what "Health Anxiety" or "Hypochondriac Disorder" is. It's no joke. Normal body feelings like a headache or a stomach ache or dizziness can send you into a full blown panic attack. The real kind, where you truly believe you're dying. I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia and eventually developed Health Anxiety. I didn't leave my house for more than 2 years, from 2021 to 2023. For him it could be any number of things, he catastrophizes. That's a symptom of many different conditions. He for sure needs more than a therapist though, I tried a lot of medications, which works great for a lot of people but not me. Ended up with a psychologist (A therapist will a "real" degree) and a psychiatrist.
Chris, I myself suffered from the same kind of anxiety you have my whole life, and finally learned how to control it at 30 years old. But the way you described it is literally how I would have described it myself. God speed my friend.
me and him kind of have the same exp l. First time I did it I was 14 also and did the same move. Only dof was somehow a girl that was also 14 had the clap and gave it to me (I live in Baltimore so... Ya know....) and that screwed me up for a long time. If I kissed a girl and a pimple showed around my mouth I would hyperventilate in the bathroom and tear up thinking I caught something. And would tell no one about my thoughts and pray it went away. Lol which herps would go away so don't know what that would prove lol. But yea. But it stopped me from being a man hoe. @@markrennie86
I've loved Chris for a couple years now but him being so vulnerable and sharing his up's and down's on such a huge platform makes me respect and love him so much more.
I absolutely loved this episode. I have been thinking about it days after listening to it. Chris is so damn funny, honest, and authentic. It's refreshing to see a man talk openly about the complexities of being human. So many other people (myself included) have a brain that's just as active. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are so awesome, Chris! And now I want to eat lasagna with you and your Dad.
I can’t comment enough what a great guy Chrissy is man he is just so genuine and honest I love how he loves his parents and especially the way he talks about his dad is awesome! He has inspired me many times when talking about his dad for me to be the best dad regardless of any mistakes made. Thank you Joe for having min on. Chris if you are reading this ,.. I promise you that you are your kids hero!! I bet they absolutely adore you! Just keep being you and your gonna be the best part of their world!
chrissy thank you for talking about this. I’ve been experiencing similar feelings and i needed to hear that I’m not the only one so thank you this made me feel better.
At first i felt empathy towards him at the end i was like what a fucking selfish bastard for making his kids go through that just because he can’t stop being a man child
That was an essential podcast. Loved it. Not just some lighthearted fun, but essential life-stuff. This kind of talk, to a mentor or a friend is often much more helpful than talking to a therapist. Probably helped Chris more than anything else. "The mind of Intelligent, driven people is a powerful tool, that, when not pointed at something else and used sufficiently, will turn onto oneself. " And also I seldom heard Joe laugh that as hard las at Chris' bombing-story. I was crying laughing.
Comparison is the thief of joy, Chrissy. You do you man. You’re killin it. Take care of you and your family and that’s all you need my man. You’re the best
I LOVE HIM! Chris is interesting, entertaining, and comforting to listen to. I love how compassionate Joe is with him here. This whole episode is helpful explaining how one's struggles with anxiety manifest in daily life. I'm so glad Joe brought up Abigail to Chris and how obsessing about our problems doesnt help- it actually makes things worse. I've learned this is VERY true. CBT really works! The book FEELING GOOD by Dr. David D. Burns is great! Even some woo woo versions such as the The Secret by Rhonda Byrne can really help people depending on what they relate to most.
Glad I tuned in to this episode. Listening to Chris open up about his anxiety and how his brain was his biggest enemy when he was younger was very helpful and relatable. As a 23 year old I too went through a similar experiences in my recent and past relationship. My anxiety really controlled me during that relationship with my ex. We broke up not too long ago and I also went through the “I cant live like this, I’m going to off myself” moment because it really is no way to live. Luckily, I moved to Colorado the year we broke up and it being a weed legal state we lived 4 minutes from a dispensary. Everyday for a year I was smoking and getting high. Weed really helped me escape from my "normal" brain but I still wanted to die from the fact that I couldn’t live "normally" or do it without the help of some form of drug . Luckily I studied myself and really wanted to get better. I did research. I watched countless videos, read so many self help books to find a solutions to try and cure my brain. Sadly, theres no clear cut answer to our brain problems because the brain is so complex. Theres also alot of factors that determine how a brain functions. ie. Diet, Sleep habits, environment, childhood trauma, mental illness such as add/adhd etc… Slowly but surely I’m figuring myself out and gaining control over my anxiety and other mental issues I face. It just takes time and a really open mindset. It's not easy but you really need to have a drive to want to be better you also need lots of help from your friends and loved ones.
I find him very relatable. I think many of us can relate to having signs of anxiety around for a while but not knowing that's what it was or what triggers it and all the other things it effects 'normal', day to day living. I bit my nails as a child, got diagnosed with anxiety in college but it didn't really peak that it was driving my life until I started working as a social worker and had nightmares of clients strangling me over my desk. Like Chris, I was creative and athletic. I had outlets as a kid and teenager but when you are an adult and it just piles on every day... lol. It's rough living.
@@TheVerucAssault It sucks man. One time I remember having to duck for cover in the driver seat of my car hiding in fear because I imagined/thought this random stranger parked in-front of me was pulling a rifle out of his trunk to shoot up the place. In reality he was just loading in his groceries. I can’t figure out why I thought that way but its instances like that that really affected my life I rarely went out and if I did I always made sure i’d go super early or very late. If i went out with friends or family I always had to make sure I sat at a spot where I can have full view of the room and at a good distance from the exit.
If the roles were reversed and it was a 21 year old man doing that to a 13 year old girl, fathers would want that dude's head on a pike! See men and women are different.
@@groovehog1 The Adrenaline, the satisfaction, the hard work of packing it out of the woods, the application of having all that meat! It puts LIFE into perspective. Works for me.

yeah i have done prev- he's cool but also has this stuff going on in his mind too - so they say dont meet ur heroes etc hes not a hero but u know - so i guess ppl we like/celebrities are kl for their art/work BUT the identity /personality can come undone and appear not so shiny etc that we see them for on stage/on screen - seen??
Who would have thought Chris Distefano would have had one of the best JRE’s in a long time. He may not be the #1 comic out there, but he seems like such a genuinely good dude. This pod was just two dudes having a real conversation, sharing real experiences. I found a new respect and appreciation for Chrissy. lol
Man that first 20 minutes was intense. I think I could feel Chrissy's energy on his podcasts the last few months or longer cuz I haven't been excited to watch his podcasts like I usually been. I been a fan since History Hyenas and I'll always be a fan. I low-key started feeling really bad for Chris when he was talking about the self sabotage. It made me sad and I felt for him when he said he hurt his family. I'm glad he was able to figure it out tho and not go completely off the deep end. Maybe I should start watching his podcasts again lol. Love u Chrissy, if you see this, stop reading the comments! Lol
It would be super interesting to have Lee strobal the author of the CASE FOR CHRIST book he was talking about on, especially since he use to be a hardcore atheist.
@@SamferdI just commented this man,… joe is full of all these reasons why Christianity isn’t truth, yet never has he had ANY Christian theologian or apologist. I don’t think it’s genuine of him to use these lame counter points when he could easily get a Christian apologist on,… why is that 🧐
Honestly one of my favourite podcasts, two very different men explaining some of their many approaches to life. Super chill, I feel like these 2 gotta be bffs now 😅
This dude needs to find out having a family and being gay are not mutually exclusive. There was a show about gay catholic dads on tlc years ago, it only lasted one episode, and it was insane.
around an hour and twenty minutes in Joe is breaking down some entry level mma stuff for Chris and it reminds me why I keep coming back to this podcast man. Joe is really just having real conversations most episodes it feels like. Chris was interested in getting into mma and Joe was sharing some wisdom and it all felt and sounded real.
Yeah, he’s Chrissy Imposters for sure. I thought it was crazy when he was talking about downsizing after spending millions upsizing, but I would probably spazz out also.
Chris you sound like a great provider and protector. I over think everything, i had to convince myself,every thought or feeling doesnt have to have a reason why. It just is. Peace!
I find this guy super relatable. Sounds like he has OCD? He worries a lot and his thoughts move quickly and I kinda understand this dudes energy. I was dx w adhd at 19 and he kinda reminds me of how my brain works.
Sure we all have these tendencies. Part of what makes it so annoying is the belief that only he is unique in dealing with these things with a total disregard for the audience or respect for even worse struggles (aka gratitude) he has a great life but can't see it, because of self-absorbed ego, he might even be a drag on people who have it worse than he does
"Do you have friends you can talk to?"
"Yeah, but they call me gay" 😂😂😂
He stole that joke from Yannis who used to say it on History Hyenas, 6 years ago
Good friends 👍
No wonder they do hes trans
They kinda have a point
I lost it when i heard that.
5 minutes into this and I can fully understand why his family is so stressed out

Yeah In his podcast with stavvy they talk about it, highly recommend if you watched this
You gotta love Joe for using kid gloves and really trying to help him to the best of his ability.
“You wanna be like me? You know what you need to do? Do that thing that you know you should do every time, and then there isn’t anxiety and relaxation can be relaxing.”
Life is hard for everybody, and worrying about how hard it is for you right now really misses the whole point.
If you come up with a reason why you’re the way you are and only focus on that, you’ll believe it whether or not it’s true.
Beware of excuses or explanations because the problem isn’t whether or not anybody else believes it, nor is the problem whether or not it’s true. The problem is when you believe it.
Breakdown? Wtf he he breaking down over? Being a handsome wealthy guy? Jesus I hope I don't come down with that affliction

Chris is a good man very funny and I feel the pain he gets from anxiety i suffer from it too but joe really is a good host and a great friend caring for him great podcast!
"You're a mess. But you're a fun mess." Truer words never spoken. Love ya, Chrissy Chaos!
Joe really is the GOAT. Hes such a kind guy. Basically doing therapy for Chris
Chrissy’s next special totally needs to be called “.9 Miles Away.”
DM him that 😂😂😂
That’s actually a perfect name for his special
.9mm
Thats a good one 😂
Alternative Bagels would be 🔥
"All i care about is being a father"
Sells childhood home for bagels
It wasn't his childhood home it was a new house
All he cares about is himself lol. Dudes a raging narcissist
Chrissy D is the most intense example of imposter syndrome i've ever seen. Dude, you're funny, successful, have a beautiful family, you're more good looking than 99 percent of men out there, in shape, so charming that even your trauma dumping is likeable,.. Just chill. Enjoy it, everyone likes you, and you made it. And you deserve it.
preach
It makes more empathetic to all people though. Everyone is going through something. It’s ok to be an anxious person. I pray Chris finds peace.
I dont like him
Even if he had a certain "childhood" theres so much more BS billions go through than being teased by Italian uncles. The problem is like a lot of Americans, is NO Perspective. Soft, they haven't been exposed to REAL problems so the hyper focus on their petty BS
I wish he could see this comment!
Met Chris in Orlando this year on vacation with his family. Dude doesn't realize how good of a dad he is.
100.
Chris, if you read this, I had THE EXACT SAME kind of anxiety as you. After years of hell I finally got diagnosed with ocd. Didn’t change my obsessive thoughts but, taught me how to manage it. Look into that
My girlfriend has diagnosed OCD. Intrusive thoughts. And it's been the weirdest thing I've experienced. We've been together 5 years. And I still don't believe I've met and know the real version of who she is. Cause she's so involved with every single thought she has she doesn't have time to live in the moment and just be. Or at the very most those times are very few and not for long.
Yes this is OCD and ADHD presentation. I have the same thing!!
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for OCD and I highly recommend it!
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for OCD and I highly recommend it!
Nah. He definitely needs to be diagnosed by an actual medical professional but at 50:21 Chris is explaining to a T what "Health Anxiety" or "Hypochondriac Disorder" is. It's no joke. Normal body feelings like a headache or a stomach ache or dizziness can send you into a full blown panic attack. The real kind, where you truly believe you're dying.
I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia and eventually developed Health Anxiety. I didn't leave my house for more than 2 years, from 2021 to 2023.
For him it could be any number of things, he catastrophizes. That's a symptom of many different conditions.
He for sure needs more than a therapist though, I tried a lot of medications, which works great for a lot of people but not me. Ended up with a psychologist (A therapist will a "real" degree) and a psychiatrist.
Chrissy don’t feel like no one understands, I really related to your struggles. Stay blessed brotha!
“Yeah, but they call me gay” 😭😭
Lmao I'm one of those friends. This reminds me of my mates A.D.D diagnosis in his 30s
Seriously ppl need to stop with the bs victim mentality. Just talk about it and move on quit being gay
Typical dude friendship lol we are the best and worst
Not even gay dudes could tolerate this guy’s gayness. The gayest of gay fairy’s has more macho manly testosterone then Chrissy
“Can’t I have those edibles” idk why that shit had me cracking up
“Can I have those edibles?” After all that just killed me!
I would have told him to have them all 😂
Guy needs to let off the gas

Has a family,

I commend Chris for his honesty and transparency around his anxiety and mental health. It's refreshing.

you realize its a schtick right?
Chris,
I myself suffered from the same kind of anxiety you have my whole life, and finally learned how to control it at 30 years old. But the way you described it is literally how I would have described it myself. God speed my friend.
Coming out of the closet really helps?
Gayyyy!!!!
"... finally learned how to control it"

I was having a lot of anxiety the past few days. Listening to this I feel better I’m not even on the same boat as this guy.

This dude is so effortlessly funny. To me that anxious energy is hysterical. Maybe it's a bit of a catharsis situation but man, too funny.
It's not. It's uncomfortable and self absorbed
This feels like it should’ve been a private conversation between a guy having a panic attack and his friend who’s just there for emotional support lol
THAT'S CHRISSY CHAOS BABYYYYYY :D
Those are called 'fight companions'
me and him kind of have the same exp l. First time I did it I was 14 also and did the same move. Only dof was somehow a girl that was also 14 had the clap and gave it to me (I live in Baltimore so... Ya know....) and that screwed me up for a long time. If I kissed a girl and a pimple showed around my mouth I would hyperventilate in the bathroom and tear up thinking I caught something. And would tell no one about my thoughts and pray it went away. Lol which herps would go away so don't know what that would prove lol. But yea. But it stopped me from being a man hoe. @@markrennie86
His friends call him gay tho
They're not friends lol
Chrissy and Whitney Cummings have the same "everything has to have a diagnosis" impulse
Thats why they’re both more annoying than they are funny. Not that they arent funny.

I absolutely loved this episode. I have been thinking about it days after listening to it. Chris is so damn funny, honest, and authentic. It's refreshing to see a man talk openly about the complexities of being human. So many other people (myself included) have a brain that's just as active. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are so awesome, Chris! And now I want to eat lasagna with you and your Dad.
I can’t comment enough what a great guy Chrissy is man he is just so genuine and honest I love how he loves his parents and especially the way he talks about his dad is awesome! He has inspired me many times when talking about his dad for me to be the best dad regardless of any mistakes made. Thank you Joe for having min on.

Rogan: Psychedelics & Excercise
Distefano: Try again
chrissy thank you for talking about this. I’ve been experiencing similar feelings and i needed to hear that I’m not the only one so thank you this made me feel better.
Anyone who made it past 20 minutes is the real hero. This mans anxiety is contagious.
At first i felt empathy towards him at the end i was like what a fucking selfish bastard for making his kids go through that just because he can’t stop being a man child
I made it 10. Unlistenable.
Made it through perfectly fine myself, maybe you two just have anxiety and his heightens yours???
I'm precisely at the 19 minutes mark and calling it quits. Checking the comments to see if I'm weird or people feel the same. Seems it's not me
@@danpetreatotally man, the 100 people that felt this way are the voice of all 2 million listeners
Honestly one of my fav guests! This and the last Chrissy D episode! Gems
That was an essential podcast. Loved it. Not just some lighthearted fun, but essential life-stuff. This kind of talk, to a mentor or a friend is often much more helpful than talking to a therapist. Probably helped Chris more than anything else.
"The mind of Intelligent, driven people is a powerful tool, that, when not pointed at something else and used sufficiently, will turn onto oneself. "
And also I seldom heard Joe laugh that as hard las at Chris' bombing-story. I was crying laughing.
50 min in and I’m totally exhausted. And I’m a psychotherapist 😂
Thanks, u made me smile...

Make sure youre doing a cold plunge along with that
this episode is amazing. lots of good advice. hearing other anxious people helps with my own
Comparison is the thief of joy, Chrissy. You do you man. You’re killin it. Take care of you and your family and that’s all you need my man. You’re the best
This guy, Chris makes Bill Burr look super chill super calm. It’s amazing how these comedians have such a wild minds.
Well said. I think almost all have issues that are on the edge of being very bad issues. Hopefully he moves on eventually
This episode was f’ing insane lol. Homeboy went on a 2hr 45min anxiety filled monologue. Seems like a good dude but maaaan lol
😂😂
I LOVE HIM! Chris is interesting, entertaining, and comforting to listen to. I love how compassionate Joe is with him here. This whole episode is helpful explaining how one's struggles with anxiety manifest in daily life. I'm so glad Joe brought up Abigail to Chris and how obsessing about our problems doesnt help- it actually makes things worse. I've learned this is VERY true. CBT really works! The book FEELING GOOD by Dr. David D. Burns is great! Even some woo woo versions such as the The Secret by Rhonda Byrne can really help people depending on what they relate to most.
Glad I tuned in to this episode. Listening to Chris open up about his anxiety and how his brain was his biggest enemy when he was younger was very helpful and relatable. As a 23 year old I too went through a similar experiences in my recent and past relationship. My anxiety really controlled me during that relationship with my ex. We broke up not too long ago and I also went through the “I cant live like this, I’m going to off myself” moment because it really is no way to live. Luckily, I moved to Colorado the year we broke up and it being a weed legal state we lived 4 minutes from a dispensary. Everyday for a year I was smoking and getting high. Weed really helped me escape from my "normal" brain but I still wanted to die from the fact that I couldn’t live "normally" or do it without the help of some form of drug . Luckily I studied myself and really wanted to get better. I did research. I watched countless videos, read so many self help books to find a solutions to try and cure my brain. Sadly, theres no clear cut answer to our brain problems because the brain is so complex. Theres also alot of factors that determine how a brain functions. ie. Diet, Sleep habits, environment, childhood trauma, mental illness such as add/adhd etc… Slowly but surely I’m figuring myself out and gaining control over my anxiety and other mental issues I face. It just takes time and a really open mindset. It's not easy but you really need to have a drive to want to be better you also need lots of help from your friends and loved ones.
I find him very relatable. I think many of us can relate to having signs of anxiety around for a while but not knowing that's what it was or what triggers it and all the other things it effects 'normal', day to day living. I bit my nails as a child, got diagnosed with anxiety in college but it didn't really peak that it was driving my life until I started working as a social worker and had nightmares of clients strangling me over my desk.
Like Chris, I was creative and athletic. I had outlets as a kid and teenager but when you are an adult and it just piles on every day... lol. It's rough living.
@@TheVerucAssault It sucks man. One time I remember having to duck for cover in the driver seat of my car hiding in fear because I imagined/thought this random stranger parked in-front of me was pulling a rifle out of his trunk to shoot up the place. In reality he was just loading in his groceries. I can’t figure out why I thought that way but its instances like that that really affected my life I rarely went out and if I did I always made sure i’d go super early or very late. If i went out with friends or family I always had to make sure I sat at a spot where I can have full view of the room and at a good distance from the exit.
" id been fondled by a lady, she was 21 and I was 13, that was a lot of fun " 😂😂🤣🤣🤣! Had me dying!
If the roles were reversed and it was a 21 year old man doing that to a 13 year old girl, fathers would want that dude's head on a pike! See men and women are different.
Joe, "Go out in the woods and blow a hole in something big! It's very therapeutic.".😂
It’s kinda true. 😂 But once you’re in the woods and the solitude, you realize the “blowing a hole in something” is the less important part.
less important but still important

This pod was just two dudes having a real conversation, sharing real experiences. I found a new respect and appreciation for Chrissy. lol
one of the best JRE’s!!!!! this is not true in any form or shape , this guy is annoying as fuck , he never shut up for two seconds
Man that first 20 minutes was intense. I think I could feel Chrissy's energy on his podcasts the last few months or longer cuz I haven't been excited to watch his podcasts like I usually been. I been a fan since History Hyenas and I'll always be a fan. I low-key started feeling really bad for Chris when he was talking about the self sabotage. It made me sad and I felt for him when he said he hurt his family. I'm glad he was able to figure it out tho and not go completely off the deep end. Maybe I should start watching his podcasts again lol. Love u Chrissy, if you see this, stop reading the comments! Lol
Mike Cannon is what has happened to Chrissy's podcast. He is dragging it into the dirt.
Really glad he talked about his anxiety. Very relatable
The casual mention of jizzing on himself and shirt change is wild 😂.

- Chris "Im anxious"
- Joe "do you workout?"
😂😂😂😂. Working out is Joe’s solution for everything. But all jokes aside, it really does help.
And then Chris describes "baby's first day at the gym" 😂
Working out literally helps with anxiety lol
Make sure you are eating correctly too so you dont get anxiety from working out too 😂
He used to take steroids and worked out constantly. Obsession with anxiety makes it worse, people need to stop thinking they are helpless
what Chis needs is a month with David Goggins

A month with Goggins, then a month with Duncan Trussell. Rinse and repeat.

Are you ok?
around an hour and twenty minutes in Joe is breaking down some entry level mma stuff for Chris and it reminds me why I keep coming back to this podcast man. Joe is really just having real conversations most episodes it feels like. Chris was interested in getting into mma and Joe was sharing some wisdom and it all felt and sounded real.
I'm only ten minutes in but this sounds like textbook Imposter's Syndrome.
Yeah, he’s Chrissy Imposters for sure. I thought it was crazy when he was talking about downsizing after spending millions upsizing, but I would probably spazz out also.

And I always thought that I had a tendency to overthink my problems. This guy seems to have made it an art form
I find this guy super relatable. Sounds like he has OCD? He worries a lot and his thoughts move quickly and I kinda understand this dudes energy. I was dx w adhd at 19 and he kinda reminds me of how my brain works.
Sure we all have these tendencies. Part of what makes it so annoying is the belief that only he is unique in dealing with these things with a total disregard for the audience or respect for even worse struggles (aka gratitude) he has a great life but can't see it, because of self-absorbed ego, he might even be a drag on people who have it worse than he does
