My only problem with the podcast is that it sounds so low on youtube. Does anybody noticed that

[@thesoffen48]

Not sure how much you guys pay attention to comments, but this is the second episode in a row that the volume has been all over the place. Super low during the conversation, higher on adds, then blazing on youtube ads because you have to crank the base volume.

​@@mattu3068💀

[@Bayyzed]

@@mattu3068 true

[@mattu3068]

​@@hyperrandom7665 I think he acted extremely unethically with reckful and is culpable for his death because as a physician he had a duty of care which he did not fullfill. The main ethical breach was that he blurred the line between therapist, friend and work colleague. As a therapist it needs to be crystal clear whether you are, or you are not someone's therapist. Reckful mentioned several times that he viewed Dr.k as his therapist and Dr.k allowed him to feel this way because he was getting a lot from reckful. Dr.k thought he was above the rules and on a more personal note I just don't feel like he really cares that much about the people he talks to and I think it is potentially damaging to anyone to talk with him in a psuedo-therapuetic way, especially on stream.

Once I finished the podcast I went and stared at a wall for an hour like Dr. K said at 1:40:14. I felt like I really needed that time to slow down and think about where I'm going in life and what my goals and motivations are. Once my mind calmed down some 10 minutes into staring at the wall I really started deeply thinking about everything in my life and what I want as well as what my short term goals should be and how I'm going to achieve them. Needless to say, that hour of staring at a wall, alone, with nothing but my thoughts was much needed and I feel like my mind is much clearer now for the time being. 10/10 would recommend.

i definitely wasnt expecting him to be there in person

[@Mawsdtheking]

I loved seeing tectones facial expressions whenever Dr. K spoke. You could see him processing in real time.

[@Sandlund93]

The swap from "4 guys jerking off on a biscuit" to actually contributing to the conversation was kinda drastic. I think he realized just moments after saying it that that level of conversation would have been such a waste of potential with Dr. K. I mean, nobody interviewed Einstein to ask him about sandwiches. All 4 of them are obviously intelligent, or extremely lucky, but Dr. K is in a league of his own here. I would say he and Destiny are on par but with different perspectives and qualities. And that's a guy who held his own "against" Slavoj Zizek. There is no higher echelon, basically.

[@seizera7586]

​@@Sandlund93 i really liked asmon's questions and introspectives on his own problems. He normally brushes everything off by saying it is what it is, "everyone is crazy except me" or "im the only sane person in this society that lost his mind" regarding his situation/problems. Also i feel like he managed to bring the best he could out of K and drove the conversation into the right topics. I dont know about applying or putting into use any of it tho

[@Sandlund93]

@@seizera7586 Yeah, you could tell that he came prepared. He obviously respects Dr. K a whole lot. I believe Asmon visited his channel on at least 2 occasions when he really needed it. That's the kind of appreciation that usually lasts a lifetime, when someone gives you the tools to start enjoying life again. I think it's a personal journey, though. So even if many cases are similar, everybody needs their own tools. Trying something you heard in a YT video might work but never as much as sharing your own story with a professional. They can tailor a strategy over several months, which is obviously gonna make more sense than relating to someone else's situation. Even on Dr. K's channel we rarely get to explore the full story because you can't do that in 2 hours.

[@effjesse_]

@@Sandlund93 I liked your comment because you clearly respect not just intelligence but reason, but I take issue with you saying Destiny (who I respect) held his own 'against' Zizek, cuz like nah and also it wasn't 'head to head' enough to have that conclusion. I massively disagree with more of Zizek's takes than Destiny's I think, but Zizek is head and shoulders above even Destiny (who I respect) in philosophy. Also Dr K is way above Destiny in knowledge, maybe even a bit in reason, and definitely in both consciousness and compassion. Destiny is better than both those guys at gaming though, and is still close enough to them to be mistaken (reasonably!) for being at their level, so still someone that I think deserves admiration. Thanks for reading my comment, I love sharing my opinions unprompted to strangers on the internet and in the youtube comment section specifically.

[@Sandlund93]

@@effjesse_ Yeah, if I had to rank them I would put them in the same order as you did. Which makes sense, considering their age. The best part of it all is that we can listen to all three of them, along with everybody else we decide is worth our time. But yes, in retrospect I have to admit that your comment was a bit more thought out than mine. I wanted to make a bit of a spectacle because I was so impressed that Destiny got to discuss with Zizek. You could tell that he was nervous.

[@t1mwesterhausen]

Im most envious of Dr K's ability to listen. Dude has an infinite amount of knowledge and seems to have no struggle at all to let everybody speak without interrupting them. It would KILL me to have to be passive like that, lol. But yeah, thats obviously something i have to work on! Great podcast!

[@Xemptuous]

Its a skill you have to build. It's based on a few things: do you feel a need to be the center of attention? Do you have many unresolved problems? Do you care more about yourself than others? What is your goal in a conversation? Not to mention childhood experiences with parents, siblings, etc. With practice, you can do it, but I find that its easiest when you've already sorted yourself out and set your goal to be the betterment and aid of others. I typically do this, partly because I had a course in my psych program that focused on that, but also having sorted myself out decently well through meditation, therapy, and psychedelics. As such, I tend to feel like other peoples words matter more because they're usually not living in the present and have many conflicts that deserve to be addressed. Others that aren't there I will just have normal conversations with.

[@t1mwesterhausen]

@@Xemptuous Yea no doubt. I definitely am the extroverted, entertainer guy in general. But i'd say for me its probably most of all, that i want to help and get very excited and eager to jump in, when i feel i can say something to help them out. I have not yet discovered anything in my childhood, that would explain this. Im getting better at it, but no way near K's level for sure, lol! ;)

[@Xemptuous]

@@t1mwesterhausen Yea i feel you, i'm like that alot too, but sometimes someone needs solutions throsn their way, and other times they need to figure it out themselves, which is where the listening style helps. Each needs to be employed at its right time and place.

[@Madchris8828]

Literally was a monk for a while so it's understandable. Very cool ability to be sure

[@Sandlund93]

@@t1mwesterhausen The difference is that Dr. K is not in it to help people. His purpose is to help people help themselves. Because he knows that that is the only thing that lasts. And he wasn't always like this, even he went on a journey, spanning almost 2 decades. At the beginning he was actually as lost as the people who now benefit from his teachings.

Yea dude!!! I LOVED the one on one stream episode of Dr K chatting with Asmon, I rarely rewatch things but I've watched that one a few times.. I think they actually really learn from each other, all the bouncing ideas, feelings and philosophies back and forth!! I also seriously think Asmon is far 'wiser' than he tends to let on. Of course he likes to joke around and be a part time degenerate which we love about him 😊 But I think he actually deep down had much more emotion than he allows himself to either feel or show people. I've grown up being a caretaker for my parents like he has, and that type of life is very unique and can make you build up so many walls against emotions. I'm done rambling my friend 😊 I love your comment, insightful and sweet ❤❤❤

I just recently started watching your videos and it's interesting too see yall talking about some of this stuff. I was raised by a borderline parent and last year i got diagnosed with a few things that kinda opened my eyes. I used to come off narcissistic all the time and i couldnt figure out what the difference between confidence and narcissism. I was diagnosed with borderline tendencies cause i have the flip of everything in my head from questioning why are things the way they are. It then led to black outs during parts of my life as i developed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). I find that i have this being inside that is a god, but then this flip of being absolutely nothing. The borderline community was a nice place to read as i didnt feel as alone. We focus so hard on others building us up, and we cant handle being torn down. Atleast in the moment, or if I trigger during something bad enough i wont remember it. Streaming was one of the best things i did for myself because the dopamine and fun of streaming and chatting was amazing. To just be myself and to have people love to watch me be me. I felt like i was never good enough for mine and it is still hard to this day for me to not want that type of attention from my parents. I do also turn off so that i dont hog attention, cause i used to just be an attention whirlwind doing stuff and i didnt know it for a long time. Even to me now I think about the fact that i feel like ill be viewed as making this post about myself and question the way i think. 😅 Anywho i love all you guys and the way yall think and look at the world!

This was an absolutely fascinating conversation. I feel that a lot of these topics are not discussed or studied enough and would love to hear more, as you four are able to provide a unique perspective that you don't get to hear from on a routine basis just due to the nature of what you all do for a living. You may all be really successful, but you still deal with a lot of the same mental issues that we all experience that we may just not know how to voice or we may not even have someone to discuss it with that can relate.

[@cleverman383]

that's a great premise for an anime, although I may be biased because I love Welcome to the NHK and Re:Life

[@theita231]

Bro I learned so much this episode, especially the posture part with having you knees below your hips. I’ll be using that every day!

[@re3d90]

Thanks a lot for this episode. Actually took a break from work to actively watch it. Have an awesome week ahead and looking forward to the next episode !

[@joeybellas5830]

Dear editors, Please up the volume on the next episode. When I have to keep my laptop volume maxed to hear clearly from the other side of the room and then have youtube ads screaming at me to eat taco bell, it kinda sours the experience of the podcast for me. Maybe I'm the only one, but I think it would be welcome imporovement. Sincerely, a fan.

[@scruggs69420]

Judging from their stories, I think they should've been the guests on Dr. K's podcast. Love this episode

[@sircharlz4512]

Asmongold has been on his podcast before, i'd suggest listening to it if you havent :D

[@reallyanotheruser7290]

twice even, Tectone too

[@MelmanDaGiraffe]

I loved this episode. I’m not sure what’s happened to the last few but the audio is sooo low. I have to have it on max audio on my headphones and then if there is something happens randomly that is loud and my eardrums actually explode.

[@blueye95]

This podcast had so many interesting talking points i felt like jumping in and adding to it (especially as someone in engineering and not entertainment). Such a good vibe

[@danielsegura2383]

mic volume for this one was a little bit low ! thank you for uploading

[@HappyKatze]

The sound is much lower than the previous videoes. Anyway great podcasts

[@crazefacee1808]

I'm at a point in my life where I feel lost. Hearing Dr. K talk about change has helped me greatly. Thank you for having Dr. K on

[@Hobberhobbit]

Thanks for this ep.

[@a.o.skurtt]

I think I actually suggested you guys get Dr K a few videos ago, was so surprised to see him here! You guys should do some other person in the mental health scene, I think it's really cool for them to talk to a bunch of degens like us 🖤 ty

[@allthingslego3537]

Actually a very eye and mind opening experience keep the great guests coming!!!

[@frankvisser4617]

The collab we didn't expected, but we all needed. Dr. K. hands down!

[@rockerdude]

Great episode, the audio though is freaking jarring. When they’re talking it’s low then out of nowhere the ad reads and stuff are freaking loud!!!

[@Brodie333]

bro the fact he mentioned valkarie profile brought back so many memories its co-op so i got to play that game with my brother. such a great game

[@MegaThefuture]

this was an amazing episode, I am actually mind blown

[@grierkubota2370]

best episode yet... every time I hear from Dr. K I feel like I have the potential to improve my life in some meaningful way but I always forget the info the next day so sad but great meaningful entertainment.

[@smokyjdm]

Watched the full episode, actually love it thank you guys!

[@ThunderR3d]

Yooooo, Great podcast but please equalize the sound levels. Please. 👍

The conversation about discipline was interesting to me. I've been placing more focus on my self-awareness and mental health for the last two years and one of the things I just discovered relates to this. I have always struggled to have the 'discipline' to sit down and work on art --even though it's something that's important to me in many ways. What I figured out, is that I was failing at discipline was because my emotions were dysregulated, either because I was caught up in daily stressors, or because I was stuck in a 'dopamine-chasing mode,' which would usually involve reading or playing video games to the point that I would spend the whole day on it instead of the hour, or whatever amount of time I had initially set aside. What I'm getting at is that discipline wasn't really a part of this equation anywhere. Basically, I was out of touch with what was happening with my mental / emotional state, so no wonder I was failing to manage my actions as a result. It's like not realizing you're angry and wondering why you feel the random urge to punch things. It wasn't as obvious until I realized what was actually happening, I thought it was more about "not being in the mood" for doing something. So, I just attributed it to a lack of motivation. However, I realized that I was not even doing activities for which I had plenty of motivation. Getting a different job, working on my portfolio, learning how to play guitar, dating... All of these things I have a lot of interest in that were just constantly pushed to the side. In short, I was able to finally break out of this cycle, which, up until this point has been the norm for my entire life, by using basic meditation. Bringing my emotions back to a regulated state was like a reset that enabled me to focus on meaningful activities. I've even been able to do it when I have that "not in the mood" feeling, because all I have to do is stop, sit there, and focus on breathing / a mantra for 20 minutes (that's my duration of choice, but I'm sure different lengths, either shorter or longer, work for others). This is becoming such an integral skill and habit for me at this point, that I wish there had been someone there to teach it to me years ago. There are so many important skills we need as people and a society that are still overlooked or not well-known, even though they could be of great benefit to everyone.

Dr. K always makes me so happy, he's always so wholesome and makes me want to do something about my life for the span of the video

amazing episode, Dr. K is great! I just wished it was longer, like 3+ hours. hope he joins another podcast episode soon

Best episode yet❤️ This was by far the most engaging and interesting episode out of all of them thus far, kept me interested from start to finish. More of this please 💯💯💯

[@IzzyQuil]

I have a feeling ill be back to listen to this episode a bunch of times. Great to have Dr. K on. Great video.

[@SmokestackRelics]

Same!! And I very rarely rewatch anything haha!! ❤❤❤

[@randomyoutubecommenterr]

Dr.K mentioning Valkyrie Profile shows me he's a real one. The others not knowing what it was makes me feel old.

[@lyconxero457]

This episode was very insightful. If ONLY the audio levels were better it would’ve been a lot easier to listen to.

[@kylespevak6781]

Didn't notice the Kirby blanket at first. Fuck yeah! I've got a hoodie that matches it!

[@Jmod8]

Seeing Tectone sitting next to Dr. K is surreal. Complete polar opposites, but it makes it great.

[@RFPro]

Just tossing this out there. Make Dr. K as a regular every few months or so for a Ez Dub. Dope convo in this one great Pod!!

Loving these podcasts so much

Sodapoppin just cannot not be entertaining as fuck in his one of a kind way hahaha!! ❤❤❤

[@anthonycisneros-santos4911]

I've been sitting with my legs crossed at home for 23 years and have suffered from back pain because of it. Today, Dr. K fixed that for me with a simple reajustment. I'm endlessly grateful Dr. K!
