1. To the person that is dealing with her relationship problems at the end of the show: it feels maybe easy to want to self diagnose and believe what we read. Im no therapist but i go to therapy and i believe ive been misdiagnosed. I, from having talked to my therapist and doing individual work, see that the most likely issue that im dealing with is cptsd. I say this because your description of how you felt from your partner chatting with neighbors and how it made you feel sounds very similar to something that could be read from some cptsd stuff. Look into and definitely talk to a professional so you can get to working on it. Peace to you ❤

2. First caller is wrong about Columbus. Everyone that lives here says “oh there’s nothing to do in Columbus , Columbus is lame “ there is so many things going on in the city every single day. You have to actually leave your house and explore the city and meet new people. Meeting new people opens up endless possibilities for things to do. Columbus is lame cause you’re lame respectfully man

3. Going to AA shows you how irreversibly bad it gets when you hear their stories. That was enough for me. But drinking when bored or alone….huge red flags. He is going to do years of irreversible damage before he finds out at this rate

4. Solo un adicto puede entender a un adicto.

5. Hillarious how I'm drinking 'n drunk watching this…
   The hardest part in making friends after 17 is aproaching people, you SHOULD have been taught to do so, but you probably werwen't.
   Why?? don't wknow, maybe the prussian system has something to do with it, or societal expectations have it you don't "need" friends after 12.
   Anyway, be autisttic (almost no one knows how to respond) and just talk to people. A big hurdle is having an objective ( ironically) so just raise your voice for it's own sake, and speak for the hell of it.

   this is somethinh I struggle with my self.

6. For caller #2 and anyone else who feels weak for feeling like asking for help. Are you weak for needing and asking for help, or are you weak for being too stubborn or have so much ego that you can't ask for help even though you know it will get you closer to where you want to be quicker?

7. 43:34 you know what gang he joined lol. “Brotherhood” riiiiiiiight.

8. Some of the worst scenarios in my life were due to excessive alcohol consumption, I'm probably consider a binge drinker. I can go weeks without a drink, but when I start, I'll drink the rivers dry lol. Peruvian marching powder helps that process along I'm sad to say. Alcohol I believe is evil 🤷‍♂️

9. The first dude changed my future. Thanks so much man lets go for a bike ride im from Cleveland also in my 30s living near a university circle haha and i was a lil high listening to this so the first time hit me even harder. Thanks Jonathan good luck to you!

10. My problem is i was a hardcore heroin addict for 22 years and i fianlly gpt off matenience drugs 2 months ago. I wasnt prepared for how i would feel..my body kills me everyday and i still feel like i am opiate sick and its like 2 months later. Idk if my body is in shock or like..idk i was numb for so long..and i dont know how to deal with it yet except drinking. I know i need to deal with it but i just feel so shitty idk what to do. I know i need to quit drinking, its the last of my addictions..

11. I also was a functioning "capable" alchoholic. My father was a full rage alchoholic with anger issues and had an underlying bipolar disorder. I started drinking casually at 11-15. By the time I was 21 I found it acceptable to be black out drunk every weekend but go to my job helping kids on the weekdays. Im now 31, and although I had a minor relapse 3 months ago. Ive been sober from alcohol for 4 1/2 years. It stole my motivation, my money, my sanity, and endangered my life in many ways. When I got rid of the alcohol I got rid of the hurt and trauma of my past self. Im nowin therapy, I exercise and I do my best to just be a good human. I just didn't believe in myself enough to quit at the time, till I finally accepted self-compassion.

12. The drinking dude sounds like he needs to play some pickleball. That’ll keep you busy for hourssss.

13. Im so happy to hear you guys talk about drinking problems like this. Im in the same boat. Im mid 30's and i been drinking every weekend since I was a young teen trying to get hammered. Why? Its what me and my friends did. Now me and my wife drink. But I started to feel like it was controlling my weekend. Like if i "wanted" to have a fun weekend and destress about work. Then I had to drink but i told myself that after the new year, i will not drink for 1 year. Its been almost 6 months. And ya…. it sucks but im down 20 pounds. Im completing more chores around the house.

    1 more thing I like to add is it funny to me that i drank at home cause i was bored and I don't like to spend alot of money. But now that im forcing myself out more with old friends that they say, "oh, now that im not home, we should drink!" Like na dude, lets just enjoy hanging out or enjoy whatever activity we came out to do.

14. So great up have the follow up call!! WE NEED A FOLLOW UP FOR THE 300 ILLEGAL SNAILS PLEEEEEEEASE!!!🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

15. I used to drink from being bored. I switched to taking thc gummies and taking long ass walks. Helps a lot and you still get a mental escape

16. I'd love more of the follow up calls. The second I heard her voice I knew who it was haha

17. fuck ai

18. first two guys sound similarly lonely and stuck in bad habits that comfort them, cause guilt & do it all over again. Geck, idk what else you could have said other than they need to put themselves out in the world, meet people, find hobbies, & go to an AA meeting/ see a real therapist. It sounds like theres lots of underlying issues for both of them. p0rn & alcohol are so accessible in the world if they want to live a healthy life they have to learn a happy medium that works for them or just cut it out completely. Theres so much hope and love you can have in your life if you have the right people around you to see it. I hope they figure their shit out

19. 21:22 I feel a kind of unease when you advocate for touching grass, you're like: "YES I CAN WALK FOR TWO HOURS WITH MY PHONE POWERED DOWN, YES I CAN", kinda riled up

20. Follow up call pretty cool!

21. Here from dope as yola

22. The 1st caller is very relatable

23. Geck anywhere in Georgia would have been better than Atlanta for a show. You can't go to half of Atlanta for fear of your car being stolen. Next time check out Athens Georgia . Home of the University of Georgia . very cool town. Perfect for a stoner lizard

24. for the first guy, go to lost lands !

25. Hey Lyle

26. You should do this with bill burr

27. Not surprised AT ALL with maeves fallow up. Like I said in the video of her call the dude was trying to take advantage. She dodged a bullet.

28. How can I gek you today. Gotem

29. Had a friend once say, being healthy is just the slowest way to die. And proceeded to eat his pizza.

30. I was on the fence about this first guy being an addict until he said one of his triggers for drinking is "boredom". With the current generations attention span something not happening for 10 seconds means they're bored.

31. I love when geck gets introspective.

32. Should consider going to AA meetings for the social aspect.

33. You owe it to yourself to create a connected & fulfilling life. Explore with creativity the nesicary steps to discover & create your world.

34. I just wrote a long comment then tabbed fml e

35. First call was super helpful. I’m going through the same damn thing.
