Apparently it's out of stock on Amazon but this is the BEST luggage i ever owned and i went through a few of them. Im sure you can find it somewhere on the internet and eventually im guessing it will be back in stock on Amazon.

EVERYTHING you said here makes PERFECT sense. No freaking idea how I found this channel but I'm so glad I did. I agree 100% I could never work a white collar corporate phony BS job. My happiness is being a truck driver. I stare out the window, listen to rock n roll, and wise people like you. Cheers from Cleveland Ohio 🍻

[@Scorned405]

One of the reasons I never wanted children. This world is so incredibly horrifying that I do not understand why people want to have kids

[@Jacks-tj9mb]

People have kids because they’re animals. It’s our most basic programming to want to breed. What put that programming there? That’s the real question, and you have to decide the answer. It’s a shit world, and it’s probably a shit God too. Breeding for a shit cause.

[@susanarsoniadou]

World is not only evil but there aren't even mates that are smart enough...Imagine having a low IQ child who will be chewed up and spat out...With a high IQ there is some protection.

Good for you. Keep going.

Be stoic, make videos every day , maybe it's ment to be on that parking. You are not boring, you are honest and humble. You will be very successful in this , you got charisma and originality. That's how KZbin channels should be. There are many others who do well because they are just themselves , not pretending to be somebody....wish you all the best , bro ! Baba Nam Kevalam 🙏

[@siikiisiikii5572]

well said. somehow i like to listen to this. Its not special but its like us all*we are all special ofc!. Real and in the moment! One love all

[@tannermikal2]

Totally agree! That’s what personally I enjoy about Joey’s videos because it’s always genuine and just a matter of fact and we NEED more of that these days! No more fake characters, false idolatry and all that! These days it’s refreshing to just hear truth whether you’re sitting in a parking lot, sidewalk, trailer etc doesn’t matter a bit to me… keep going GypJoe you def have a genuine gift and funny you knew all along you had something but this is it! Enjoy ✌🏼

You can't just wake up 1 day and decide to be stoic lol

[@ratgenerationx2946]

Joey is living proof that people who do drugs today are not a waste of humanity as most people think. Some of those people are good people they just chose to escape reality for a moment. Drugs are just a moment people!

[@jonhutchinson2902]

Anyone who actually thinks that is dead wrong and needs a serious reality check. You shouldnt even have to make that comment.

[@jonhutchinson2902]

Alot of drug addicts are actually more intelligent that your average person. I use to use drugs to dumb myself down to the level of those around me. I didnt feel like i fit in unless i was high and dumbed down. Our minds work overtime and sometimes we just want a break , to shit it off for a moment...

[@b-dogs1038]

Yeah Einstein nailed it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Couldn’t agree more with everything you said

[@bhyknut5966]

Depression is not about being afraid, it's being bored with life, not finding anything that's worth spending an other second breathing.. because just 1minute in depression is so hard to go through.. and you do it for years and then it kills you..

[@highlovevibration]

So true

[@bryanduchane2371]

You must be in my head. I'm going thru a bit of depression right now and can use all the tips on how to beat or tackle it! This has been a really tough few days..... Pain will make people do stupid shit!! I'm far from doing stupid shit, but it's not from a lack of pain!!!

[@stringbender3]

I think of pain as a blessing. The more pain, GOOD! More shit for me to learn, more shit for me to fix, be a man and lead. It’s a great teacher. No pain no gain that’s why so many rich ppl are clueless and stupid. Be thankful for the pain, feel and learn from it. Use it to your advantage to motivate you to kick ass! Be the man you always needed. You might see things that others do not. So you are responsible for things that others are not. Can’t have a victim mindset.

[@bryanduchane2371]

@@stringbender3 you obviously have never dealt with severe pain in your life and consider yourself very lucky. As much as I understand your "challenge", what you're saying is clearly from a person ho has never experienced pain at a level in dealing with. I hope and pray you never do.... It will turn your entire life upside down and makes it very hard to simply love things that everyone loves instantly. I'm sure you're coming from an honest position, but your honesty is actually cruel!! I appreciate your, in your face direction, of curing my ailment, but not a technique that works when handling long-term chronic pain. I've considered so many ways to tackle this issue, but taking your approach simply doesn't work. I've been a scratch golfer, excellent student and some would consider a good dad, but never dealt with something this entirely horrible condition and pray no one else has to either. After 13 years, 3 surgeries, 21 bolts, 2 plates, 3 bone grafts and a new device still remaining, my neck has seen severe trama very few cervical neck patients have thankfully never experienced. As a strong willed person, I don't need your concern and definitely your uneducated suck it up attitude, as that simply doesn't fit the Bill of Goods!!! What I would appreciate is for you to dedicate your extremely high concern used in a simple prayer for those if us that suffer daily from chronic pain. That's something I truly believe it's a better use of your time and definitely more valuable than me writing this text to someone who has nearly zero compassion for their fellow man. Have a great day!!!

[@nobolife933]

I'm just glad I'm retired got money and a house paid off, so I just get up in the morning make coffee watch a little u tube and then go out for a drive taking pictures and filming interesting things just for a hobby, no plans for being a u tuber.but all and all I'm injoying my retirement and when summer hits I fire up my harley Davidson wide glide and I deserve it all after making ather people money for 43 years of suffering in factories.

[@rajivahir9199]

💯 this guy shares alot of wisdom and common sense

[@IyeMRealer]

And then you get to the existential depression side of things. The type of depression that is derived from all of the misery that is experienced by everyone around the world. The sad thing is, the more aware and intelligent you are, the more you recognize the injustices, cruelty and suffering that a lot of people experience. I consider myself lucky, but I can't help but feel sombre on occasion when I reflect on the state of the world. Another great video Joey

[@legg8207]

Dude this is the best one yet. Hit home with me. Made so much sense. Made me realize I get depressed when things are easy and going good. Doesn't make sense but you seem to get it

[@frankwoods6821]

I think existential depression is when you don't know what you should be since there are a lotta options around, so you just dread it instead of making moves.

[@imageword5576]

That doesn't sound like existential depression to me. Existential depression is like not being able to see the point in doing anything because nothing really matters beyond its own existence.

[@slimmjesus1424]

Great wise words man, most depressed people simply lack a purpose and passion in life and depression is only a short phase of your life that will pass

[@heatherfling7095]

You are so right Joey, you sure made a good point. Thank you.

[@omarethiop6778]

The comment you made about those professionals at Starbucks is 💯 true. I’ve been in the corporate world for about 15 years and 95% of my job is acting like I care about my job. I used to be miserable but now I laugh about it and treat it as a game. I’ve been, “quietly quitting,” for years and no one knows the better lol.

I was here pretty early so I have seen most videos and must say. This is my faveorite so far by a long shot.

Joey, I love listening to your livestreams, even listening later when I miss the live. I'm so hopeful that you will be very successful in whatever you do! ✨️

[@biomansmith151]

im not that depressed but extremely socially awkward with social phobia, basically nobody likes me, but i have to work with people that hate me. But youre right joey, the system is fucked, especially for sensitive empathetic people. Things that you own are gonna end up owning you - tyler durden

[@mudpuppin3tt3s]

Start freely giving out love--the same love you/we all cherish--no matter what get in return. If 'hate' is accurate? then you’re in a good position--much easier to turn hate into Love; only thing worse, is indifference, but Love, still can handle that. Watch over n spot the new habits u get and toy with any bad habits u notice, using all as leverage to carry out your next day of love-chunkin'

[@lucasvarela9632]

The phobia is what’s killing you, your awkward because your freaking out before you talk to someone. You probably know that though. I used to have it, still do but I enjoy people a lot of the time

[@teokastelan2930]

Maybe they don’t hate you. Maybe they just don’t know how to communicate with you. Do you know what I mean?

[@inked6880]

Start with a smile

[@justathought-hj3lz]

Same here and my coworkers do hate me people like us get discriminated against for being quiet/being the way we are. So how do we cope?

[@harryleighton7500]

Fantastic ! This is such a good , helpful video for people who feel like they’re in a bit of a hole ! Like me some days ! I’ve watched this a few times .

Reminds me of the Tom Waits song I don’t want to grow up. That song is a reminder to me of everything in this life that I don’t want to.

[@yonderpants4394]

congrats on 30k!

[@CatalinaFOIA]

💯❤️ I was so lucky to see George Carlin live, on stage, while he was on tour in 1999. 1 statement he made during the show has always stuck with me: "It's Called the American Dream Because You Have To Be Asleep to Believe It" - George Carlin. So when you said the insane people are running the asylum it reminded me of Carlin's quote. You're so right! 💯❤️

[@margemaple6091]

Great share Joey ! muchlove >>>>>

Nobody better than Joey . Best speech on you tube ever ! I knew I loved you the minute I saw you ! Too cool . ❤ best quotes ….the lunatics are running the asylum was my dads quote about our home as he got older and we grew up … so funny and true .

[@traysonwright4008]

I really like your way of thinking. I can really relate to a lot of it. They have so many of us trapped in a mental slavery. They understand human psychology to such a high degree that they are able to manipulate us into thinking and behaving in certain ways.

[@CatalinaFOIA]

Last comment: 6:45 and on... I agree, some of the hardest times of our life, the struggle, keeps is feeling alive. When life is way too easy and repetitive life gets boring and can lead to depression. Living with some level of chaos can be enough to WAKE us up and keep going. ❤️

[@RealFunSkate]

hey man i really feel the same like you. everybody always tells me to get a safe job but i like skating and being free in the streets.

Look at you. Not only did you not spend your life doing things that brought you unhappiness and just didn't feel like your path but now you're out here putting these videos out trying to help people and share things you've learned. It's dope. Shame on people who try to argue with that but then they're probably going through their own insecurities and fear and unresolved issues. You're awesome! I like how you break down some of these quotes and things you share because I wouldn't understand them right off so that's helpful. Love your videos bro

[@H4TTOR1_H4NZO]

Great advice as usual. I also think it's the imperialist society in the USA too, it's an open air mental institution because everyone feels like we have to live up expectations in order to live a "normal" life and when a poor person sees someone with money and nice things, it can be really depressing, especially if they didn't work for it and the rest of us have to work our ass off just to have a roof over our heads. All of the corporations have shit all fucked up. It should be called the United corporations of America. I've been depressed for years and I'm used to it. It really kicks in when you realize the truth about life and what it is. A majority of us work all of our lives until we die and no matter what you accomplish in life, it's all irrelevant in the end. Take it easy joey keep the videos coming my friend ✌️👍

[@redalert7504]

I love you Joey mental illness is no joke in a world full of lies I became selfless and lost my identity and was left with just being obsessed with Japan. It’s really hard to walk away from abuse especially after you’ve already grown accustomed to it.
