People who dont know who the hell Anthony is talking to but they know who Anthony Ramos is:
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Man.... this man talking about his journey the high and the lows, man much needed! Its a journey
Anyone who has ever had the honor to meet Anthony Ramos, you will have met one of the realest human beings ever!
A true artist who has been through immense trials and tribulations, gaining stardom and popularity, and now finding discipline through faith with god 🙏🏽 Love Anthony Ramos and his journey in life, he is and has been a great inspiration to me
Yo I grew up seeing you in greeen and Irving when you were little. I knew your dad well. He was a close friend of our family too. God Bless you little brother you have achieved your dream.
1) I defin made a mistake listening to this at work...got no work done and so many tears my co-workers think I'm crazy 😂 major props to the hosts and the artist!!
2) I was a big fan of Anthony Ramos before & this only deepened it for sure! so much real love & soul❤️
Not even halfway through, and already loving this episode! Such a powerful conversation! As Brené Brown said, "Vulnerability is (most definitely) a strength."
Thank you for the kind words
There's a special kind of sobriety of spirit that only the truth can provide! That level of rawness, sharing universal life struggles, the realness of deep inner work and the sacrifices and discipline it takes to stay committed to the path, to healing... that's what I found most relatable, humbling, and humane. These are the conversations we ought to be having! 🔥
Thank you so much for sharing this perspective with the community
Yes but he cheated on Jazzzy . I cant respect him. No way
This was great, I’m so happy that is he is finding a path that works for him, he has been through so much, and the fact that he is trying to understand and find himself is an amazing thing. So proud of him ❤
Thank you so much for listening
Wow! "The only way you can learn how to be alone, is by being alone!"
Dude!
The Lord is with this guy!
42:01 that guilt cycle is SO real BUT God! That sun and globe analogy ❤ we are both light & dark and still fully loved is exactly what I needed to hear today...thank you for that
Thank you for listening and being apart of this community
Anthony Ramos is everything. It's so evident how much work he is putting in to be a better person and to grow. I'm in the middle of my healing journey and it's so refreshing to hear someone (especially him for me) speak out about the therapizing and how tiring it is but also how rewarding it is. I love his ability to self reflect and that he really tries to channel his emotions in a healthy way. I haven't been in the best place in the last couple years and am currently digging myself out and it's so hard. This was a fantastic interview, thank you for this 😍
Wow! Anthony thanks for sharing your deepest experiences. Follow God spiritual guidance he will keep focus. He will see you through. Seek God he created you so he knows your heart.
This Really Feels nice actually listen to this podcast About someone dealing with same problems as you and starting it as same age as you and hearing this actually made me happy and concentrated my mom and dad was kinda similar and its nice for celebrity to speak up about there personal life Cause much don’t hits hard dealing with same problem as someone❤
My dad was a single dad, he raised me and my brother on his own. He had a temper and would yell all the time so I felt like he was an " angry " man. He cried twice, I remember the situations so vividly because my dad never cried so these two moments were HUGE to me. Both times my father was breaking down talking about things that had happened to him as a child and even though I didn’t fully understand then, those two moments have completely changed the way I connect with him now that I’m a woman. He wasn’t an angry man, he was a hurting man who couldn’t express his sadness so it manifested in anger. He might remember those two conversations where he broke down and cried, maybe not, but I’m so appreciative that I got to experience them because now when my partner cries I welcome those moments and can be present for him without feeling uncomfortable.
Women have to be safe for men to cry with… I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a woman say they get extremely uncomfortable when a man cries, or " I want a man, not a little bitch " and treat men like they aren’t human - but also want them to care about their feelings… women have just as much a part to play in this. I hope every man out there can find someone who makes them feel safe enough to curl up in their arms and break down ❤
Deep and introspective perspective. I respect your self journey work. No choice but to❤❤❤❤❤
I believe he can get through this Anthony is strong ❤
It’s crazy how he felt harder for the rebound girl then he did for his ex if s7 years. I don’t mean that in a judgmental way either. I love Anthony and really appreciated hearing who he is behind the cameras, and how he’s trying to find who he is now. I wish him well on his journey of healing, self discovery, and deep forgiveness and love.
Vulnerability makes us more relatable and allows space for us to connect with others.... even when it's hard it can be so rewarding to those who feel brave enough to do so ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
I'm at work. Paid attention to it all. I really want to thank the creators of this. It is like something fallen from heaven because I am going through a lot. Incredibly grateful for you guys.
An amazing conversation! Raw and honest! So true that the maladaptive behavior you wince at today is what allowed you to survive your childhood and was genius then given a child's perspective. Love and cherish your inner child and let them know you are learning a better way and you will teach them and protect them along the way. Blessings!❤🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this with us
I have come back and rewatched. So helpful. Justin, the 2:00 am panic attack, calling Jamey helping you to not fall back on behaviors. So helpful!
Yes! Loved that too ❤accountability...developing and having a relationship where you can be real and let speak into your life is VITAL to a healthy change and life
This video was definitely eye opening for me and something I could definitely relate to. I’ve kept coming back to the sun and globe analogy because it’s something I’ve never even considered before, and I think I’m going to start using that analogy whenever I need to. I’ve loved and supported Anthony Ramos for a while now and will continue to do so into the future, thank you for having him on the show ❤️
God bless you, Anthony. And He knows exactly what you’ve been through and He has all your answers. Sending you hugs from Dominican Republic 🙌🏼
Thank you very much for this wonderful episode. I truly loved this deep conversation about authenticity and doing the work, keeping ourselves accountable and honest. It’s so so important.
All the best to all of you, and so much love! 😀🫂❤️😘
Thank you for this amazing episode and Anthony for his vulnerability!! ❤️❤️
This made me cry in a good way! Saving this episode to watch again when I need to listen to all of yours insights. Love the honesty and rawness in Anthony ❤
The best kind of cry, thank you for listening!
Just part way through this episode. So great! Some of the things Anthony Ramos is saying reminds me of an interview I heard with James Franco when he was trying to remove his blinders from his sex addiction and how to move forward from it. James Franco also said he felt very uncomfortable being alone. There's just so much great stuff in this interview, things that I want all men to feel allowance to explore for themselves. Love the comment about vulnerability as well, look how willing Anthony Ramos is to be vulnerable and how powerful his acting is. I see an example of the power of vulnerability here.
City's toon was probably "situation" lol. Such a great interview though!
First episode I've watched and I'm in awe!! Being involved in Psychology and Clinical Counseling, this interview reminded me of why I'm passionate about helping others. There is so much that we can heal from if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. It's hard and scary but once we get there it's life changing little by little. This was such an amazing interview. I love how it wasn't messy and just seeking to gossip. This interview touched on core values and morals to be a better person. ❤ I'm now a fan! Wonderful conversation!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! ❤️
Just saw his latest transformers movie & loved Anthony's spirit immediately! Could see he was a genuine guy & really humble! This interview is so refreshing & ministering on such a deep level! Great content! Really really beautiful! Our generation needs way more sharing on this level! Especially in the church world! Transparency in Gods Kingdom is paramount with TRUE LOVE & GRACE is life saving & redeeming! Thank so much for this vulnerability! Love to u all from Auz!
Alot of what he said I can relate to, even right now.... ❤❤❤ thank u for sharing
Thank you for sharing, Anthony Ramos. I’ve had very similar experiences and have been consciously trying to show up for myself for several years now. It’s hard, really hard.
Also, I’m now looking forward to the release of, When a Man Cries.
What an amazing episode. So much resonated. I will share this episode with everyone who I believe will benefit. Starting with my partner. Thank you Liz, Justin and Jamey
Thank YOU for being apart of this community
This was a great episode.
This was a great podcast ❤
thanx for this episode
The thing that is most important to men these days is to have a guy friend(s) with whom they can be vulnerable and cry it all out. This seemingly small thing can bring about a huge change in the world right now! And sadly, it is becoming more and more difficult with the social media usage growing.
Thank you so much for sharing this perspective!
this was such a great episode. love anthony’s vulnerability and strength ❤
Hold women in regaurd. Higher then what?
Dude this was so good...
AMAZING!
Damn this episode hit me hard!
An incredible listen
I'm loving this episode so much!!! I am really truly happy to see how many people, especially men are taking these steps to living a healthier life and I believe as a result a happier life! And I just want to encourage Anthony and everyone else to keep going!! Every effort will pay off!!! It is one of the most rewarding journeys in Life, I believe it!! Remember that God Loves You! May He help you on this journey! And also remember that Jesus said The Kingdom of Heaven is inside YOU!! ✨💛 I pray that He leads you there🙏 It's so beautiful! I'm excited!!! And I can tell that everyone else was excited too! 🙌✨💛 The energy is different from what I've seen before☺️ I haven't watched all episodes but this one is my fav one so far🙌✨ Thank you guys🙌 Love the podcast! God Bless You All💛
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community
He is amazing
We would have to agree 😊
I already had so much respect for Anthony Ramos, but now knowing that he's Christian, that makes me respect him X1000 more
I also just got dumped and damn his song strike a chord with me, gave me goosebumps
Sending you lots of love ❤️
Noticed these who telling you you your power help them . To get involved not be a bystander. Themselves say mind your business when their the ones abusing people with less power then them
Yeah, maybe someday, someone will help you with your grammar skills.

This podcast hit way too close to home.
Dose Anyone know where I can find the song “when a man cries”?
He's probably still working on it.
Higher regaurd then what?
People are not all the same regardless . I am a woman and I very seldom cry. So what does crying like a woman mean? They sometimes stereotype when talking about men and woman, which is wrong. Don’t do the same.
Thank you for sharing this perspective with us.
Thank you so much for pointing this out. I love this channel for the safe space it provides to deal with important issues without the fear that anyone will be stereotyped and alienated in that way, and that comment bothered me as well. Ironically, as a woman, I had just been relating to what Anthony said because I actually did once write a song about a time I cried after a long time. I had been through a lengthy depressive phase where I felt emotionally numb for so long. And then one day, while watching a film, I felt a single tear trail down my face at the ending, and I was so floored that I was feeling a strong emotion for the first time in ages, that I actually did write a song about it. So yes, while I appreciate the general fact that men are often socialized to express emotion in a different way than many women, there are various reasons why other people of different genders might experience a drought of emotional expression as well, so thanks for acknowledging this.
Are women accountable or just cry WE get Blamed for everything 😭
Those 18 paragraphs……piss me off too
How come when wife kicks husband out it's his fault for not making her happy . How we don't hate moms feel like getting away from their families but hate dads who feel like getting away
How come
Media Tells women not feel bad about driving to suicide then telling men not to commit suicide
men and women aint the same, we deal with emotions very differently and although I believe crying is good for men I have no desire to cry like a woman, the way women cry is valid for them. It's ok for men to cry and we should cry but don't compare us to women
he’s so weird and his ex deserves better
You clearly didn’t watch the entire thing.
