Joey Diaz Sympathizes With Listeners Going Through Hard Times

[@YoungTCash]

Thanks Joey, my girlfriend just died the day after Christmas and life doesn’t feel the same without her. She had a rough life and things were turning around but everyday is a new day and she would’ve wanted me to stay strong for her. Happy new year everyone, take care of yourselves

[@GermanEuropatriot]

You are not alone brother. Yes, we must take care of ourselves. It's crazy what we do to ourselves when we would never inflict these things on our friends or children. So many of us are our own worst enemies.

@@charliestone892 just ween slowly. It's very doable.

[@abtwopoint0]

@@charliestone892 try kratom bro... in my experience, going from heavy narcotics, and drinking 10 grams of kratom every 12 hours for 1 week, really turns the narcotic withdrawal from a 12 to a 2... then start weening the kratom doses down for another week, and then after 2 weeks with 0 pharmaceuticals the kratom withdrawal is like having a common cold. You can do it bro, just get the "maeng da" if you can or any strain you can get your hands on. The shit works, trust me! And make sure you got a couple ibuprofen and tums for when you go cold turkey, they help a lot with the insomnia and aching joints. There's no possible way to do it pain free but just remember it's mind over matter.... if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Good luck in 2020

Marko Krstic I think this is a fan channel - not run by Lee or Joey

[@CuriousReason]

@@StonagePwnage There is no such thing as a fan channel. If someone claims that they are a fan channel, he is not, he is ripping money from podcasters that he claims to be a fan of. "Clips" channels are made by original podcasters like "Joe Rogan clips" and others, for people who just want to listen to a little segment of the podcast, not the whole 2 hours. Plus, its an extra revenue, this channel gets roughly 5-6 mil views in a month, that's like +$20,000 up a month at the very least.

[@StonagePwnage]

CuriousReason 20k for 5-6m views? You’re far off. He makes a couple hundred dollars at most a month

[@CuriousReason]

@@StonagePwnage Dude, I get around 50,000 views a month and I make a couple of hundred dollars. You just don't know how KZbin monetization works. 1 mil views get you $2k at the very least, but Joey has many +10 minute videos which are money-makers. For 5-6m views, Joey is getting at least $20k a month.

[@StonagePwnage]

@@CuriousReason yet there are channels who get 300k+ views who make $10

Hey Joey just a dago from Baltimore here and I would like to say thank you for this clip. I was in prison for 21 straight years and Christmas was just another day in the joint besides a slice of apple pie they would throw on our plate when it came out the window in the chow line. Now that I've been home for three years I realized the people that kept my family together especially on holidays are all gone and in the ground and it never felt the same again on Christmas. But the good advice was if someone invites you, go... You'll be glad that you did afterwards. I love you brother and our lives are so paralleled together it's mind blowing. Thank you for getting your shit together or I would have never known who you were. At 46 years old I find myself still trying to get there man. Molte grazie paesan. P.S. 1994 was the last year I was on the streets and it was the last Christmas I celebrated at home with my family. I too will never forget that year or that last Xmas. Ciao.

[@chrisbaltazar7164]

Thanks Uncle Joey for bringing this up. My family doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas. I broke up with my gf this year. She always celebrated them both and drove me to celebrate with her. Those two holidays became something to me over 4years. This year I tried visiting family and nobody was there cause they work. It’s just a regular day for them. This year I found myself alone in my hotel room. It’s the worst feeling. I know exactly what Joey meant where he felt suicidal. But he is right, to be grateful for what I have. I don’t fully see what I have to be greatful for but I’ll work on it.
