I really connected with Richard’s story. I’m 29, struggling with getting my shit together as well. His discussion regarding duality of the mind was something I could really wrap my around. Along with the struggle of not knowing how to interact with anyone. I have to been a relationship in 10 years; was cheated, heart-broken, yada yada, but I was curious where he was going with the rational vs irrational mind explanation, because I view love the same way as him, yet I’ve been unable to breach the walls that I’ve put up.
I’ve just started watching your videos, and my god, they are a godsend. My perspective on life is already shifting and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you for what you do.
This guy is doing God's work
the last caller, specifically what geck says about habitual weed smoking is the exact ballpark im in. granted i'm younger and done it not as much or more periodically in previous years, but what other life thing i have to motivate me is the fact that almost a year ago, i was getting digestive issues. and only in july, july 5th, did i really get a lightbulb as to what was up. i had an endoscopy and they removed a duodenum polyp that was sitting between my stomach and small intestinal opening (not blocking), and i noticed changes but i noticed i still felt lower abdominal pain. this is me saying (with research i did) i probably have an intestinal polyp. and what my GI specialist told my mom that day almost 2 months ago was that a middle aged woman he had cared for had a similar issue, and was told her polyps were caused by chronic weed usage. except the difference between me and her (based on account of the story) was that she exploded on him and denied accepting the truth, and I feel an intense reflection on myself, remembering all my thoughts of "i want to use this less". and i have a follow up endoscopy on the 16th where i will try to stay sober a week before the appointment, inform my GI about my concerns of lower abdominal cramping, and try to use weed more moderately. 1-2 times a week moderately, or even less. i don't think quitting is the best idea for me, it puts me at bay and doesn't teach me how to value my usage with weed and rather teaches me "just say no" when i know i can manage myself and still have a good time. now my last note, i turned 18 july 1st last year and ever since then i asked myself when i should try calling. but i also want to wait for the right moment to be able to tell a story or what thought provoking thing is on my mind in a particular moment and day. the whole other can of worms about myself that's also a topic in this video, is the fact i like learning about people's life and i eventually want to broadcast my life and i think this is a great way i could do that. i know there's no pressure but this podcast is literally a life talk by a fireplace and i've been watching geck do this since i was ~15 years 7 months old. and it never gets old. that's all now
Bruh there’s cannabis college classes…. What
Unpopular opinion: Having kids is wrong
Crazy that this is the first ep I’m listening watching to, because here and there the guy was very relatable. I forgot that one’s personal experiences are very much or could be experienced by others. Shout out to sociology
On one side I think "wtf am I watching" and on the other "that's what the Internet was made for"
Did anyone get the name of his band? I love Richard
i grew up in southern Oregon and the weed phone called was one for the books lol
You know I don’t think it matters when you do it, I think what matters is that you get your life together.
I mean, I hope so, I’m almost 29 and I still don’t know wtf I’m doing or where I’m going 😅
the gecko being in the sky really ties all this together…. Thank you all for your wisdom
If I had a nickel for every time someone said they have anxiety 😅
I swear this guy was the same guy who called about doing uber from a year aghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZW4obQ2Wb0
Someone link his band.
I first saw you on Office Hours Live with Tim Vic and Doug and just recently I've been on a bit of a bender with this show. There is something addictive about your show, with the feelings you get through a 'lack of urgency or pressure. ' Roundabout way of saying its cool cuz its chill, bro. but i dont think that does it justice. Letting people talk but also recapping things and your ability to really listen and let the callers be the star of the show is a skill not often seen in a lifetime. If there was a definition of "safe space", this would be it, verbatim.
"I’M GETTING MY LIFE TOGETHER AT 35" Same, literally.
The first caller sounds like he has autism and is learning to unmask and actually do what they want, rather than what is expected of them.
Aweee I love this first guy
“just because love doesn’t last doesn’t mean it’s not real” thank you Richard 🙏🏼
Same at 31❤ expect it'll stay like this though, and that's OK, maybe its a part of keeping on growing, thats good for the future, but not for the 'happy in the now' feeling..
That first caller sounds like such an interesting nice dude; he had a lot to say but almost all of it was positive despite maybe not coming from a positive place. I wish him all the best!
To the cannabis grower in this horticulture industry, but no one ever finishes that way. I wish you the best of luck. Take a look at Canada's industry and it will be a decent guide for you. Just know there is a boom bust cycle ! People also want college-certified cannabis growers and I doubt the United States has any sort of accredited program for that yet. This is coming from someone who had the same dream in Canada.
cant wait for u to come to Amsterdam!!!
damn, the voice of homestar runner! never thought I'd see him here!
Richawd
Holy shit, this is literally me about to turn 36 trying to get it together.
I really connected to this story!
Richard thanks for calling in 🙏
this was a fireeeee ep
id love to see earl sweatshirt on ts 😭
Love is very subjective. Don’t ever let somebody else tell you how to feel love or give love, it’s different for every single person.
1 of my favourite episodes so far, alot to relate with in this one
Love the introspection and the honesty of first caller
first discussion is awesome, same here man
Lets go a fellow yugioh player!!! First caller is a real one.
As a lost 35 year old, I am very excited to watch this
Damn is that first caller me except for having a kid 😂😂 same sort of position, wish it was easy for me to call would be fun for geck to hear my fucked up story 😂
Dude this podcast is so helpful, it’s helped in me accepting myself more hearing all the different people experiences and perspectives… this is beautiful peace to you geck!
At 26 my grandfather defended me at a family dinner when my family tried to joke about me. My grandfather stood up from the table. He told everyone in the room that he didn’t want to hear my name come from anyone’s mouth at the dinner table, because I am the only one in the room that rarely asks for help, and pays my bills. He also said that one of things I am is happy unlike most of the people in this house. Then said now that’s out of the way let’s have a nice family dinner together. When my mom told me this today I cried because I worked hard to get here, and that for once the people that raised me said that they are proud of me.
I had a similar but more gradual experience to what Richard described. Would be interested in hearing a follow up call from them down the line
