I relate to him in this way... we're not afraid of the bad and hard stuff of life, it's easy to walk into the fire and after a while you don't feel a thing. But that type of behavior isn't healthy or warranted and I don't think it's in us to be outwardly evil, real growth I suppose idk

I bet this guy doesn’t have near as much counseling as you think, if any. Counseling is pretty much a scam. People pay a bunch of money to go talk to someone who talks to 20 people a day. Then they give all the credit to therapy not realizing a lot of it is just natural growth and maturity. My life was a living hell growing up. Born addicted to dope with dope head parents, grew up bouncing around shitty group homes, shot, stabbed, locked up for 3 years, all before I was even 17. Now years later that I’m a father and business owner people that know my past always think counseling saved me. I saved myself. Just like most people could if they weren’t so easily brainwashed in to thinking there is only one traditional route to fixing an issue.

[@oneoddduck777]

@@johnnycash2238 for some, that isn't the way it works. If I tell you to go build a table, but you don't recognize the tools, or how they function.....how are you going to accomplish it? You need to be taught how to use the tools to complete the mission. I'm glad that your independent path helped you, but that isn't true for everyone. Understand that you aren't the norm, and understand that what you are doing is not putting down therapeutic treatment....you are essentially putting down those who need it. Perception is everything. Not everyone is having your same life expierence. They do not have the same brain chemicals. They don't have the same coping skills.

I feel like that parole officer was trying to help any way they could and must have seen some success with people having colorful tattoos being more accepted than black and grey.

I never in a million years would have guessed any of that stuff he said from the past! I'm usually pretty good at reading people, and in doing that seeing, that they have had a past. Nothing wrong with that. Even though he's totally tatted, nah, no way, I never would have called it! I'm pretty sure that if I'd met him in the past while he was growing up in the small town getting tatted I would have for sure knew he didn't belong there! That his image was just that. A true product of the environment. But get him out there, and put this kid on TV, and I would have never seen the past. I hope that made sense. Dude your vibe is like whoa! Like no other!

[@michaelinglis8516]

I love "you can loose yourself in being a good person". I've been to Texas prison twice in my late teens (18-20), I was a heroin addict (full blown i.v.) by the time I was 14 years old. The first time I got on a methadone type program was when I was 16 I got on suboxone the year it became available as a methadone alternative smh. I've been clean 10 years but on methadone and I'm struggling and suffering everyday to get off of the methadone a little at a time (my highest dose was 240mgs daily now I'm down to 110mgs and it took years just to get here). It's so much harder to quit then heroin. Anyways I feel like I without a doubt lost myself in my early 20s when I was trying to completely do the opposite of anything I'd ever done up until that point. It worked for awhile but it wasnt me. I had to find a balance. I've always loved music and have taken guitar seriously since I was about 12 years old. I build guitars and guitar pedals now and I'm better as a musician than ever. I'd love to get clean from the methadone and be "for real clean" and start a business selling my guitar pedals and designing new circuits and building guitars every now and then. That way I can devote a few months or more to each guitar build just like I do when I'm building it for myself. Anyways, super relatable guy. Relatable for me lol, maybe not most people. In life being true to yourself and pleasing others is always a balance even for those of us who dont care what people think about us. There's always at least a few people in our lives we want to respect and be proud of us.

Going to a medical detox will help u get off because the clinics lie to you bc they don’t want you off. You normally go down by 10% of your dose every 3 days. Once your at 30 mg you slow down a bit and u can also microdose subs and switch over. I went from 110 down to 45 in 30 days with no withdrawals and I used to be TERRIFIED to drop even 2 mg.

I’ve known quite a few people like Shane. If/when they turn their life around it’s so wonderful to see how they manage that after going so far down such a dark path. Despite everything I’ve been through in my own life, I honestly have never been to that dark of a place where I have to make a full 180 on my entire life and nearly everything I’ve ever known. For me it’s always been like I’m walking down a trail with a clear view of the path in front of me, then straying off the path for a while before I eventually make my way back to a clear path that isn’t leading to my own destruction. But, I’ve never been so far off the trail that I have to make a complete 180 to make my way back to a decent path. It must be incredibly difficult and I don’t know that I’d have the strength to do that, but then again I guess you never really know how capable you are until you’re in a situation like that. I know he has a pretty violent criminal past and I was close to going down that path for a while in my teens. Thankfully I realized that wasn’t the life for me pretty early on and was able to course correct on my own without getting caught up in the justice system. I got lucky though whereas not everyone does. Some people have to go down that dark path until they see no other way forward before they can finally turn their life around, so it’s always nice to see when someone manages to make it out the other side. Props to him and everyone else that manages that. I wish him and everyone else all the best.

[@samueljordan1230]

Great stand up. I’m glad y’all put him up.

[@spikemycorona]

This is my favourite guy you guys have brought. Wow, he’s so sweet and well-spoken. What a guy

[@spikemycorona]

Thank you for sharing your story!!

[@julesoyler4306]

This is an amazing person! Wow... I'm impressed, so impressed. I hope one day to get myself this together! Good job guy! ❣🤗🐕❣

[@Nebulous.Infinity]

I love Shayne. He's easily my favorite comedian, and I wish him nothing but success and happiness. 💖

[@thomasr1051]

Shayne is such a cool vibe. I love the honesty in the way tattoo is about how we're attempting to control the narrative in the way we're perceived. Not for everyone obviously but there's always a risk

[@tornado649]

Right off the bat... watched him on dry bar and couldn't stop laughing. So hilarious. Cool to see him talk about himself and his tattoos here!!

[@kylecook7187]

He's so much funnier in person too. I guess most people are though ha.

[@anna_banana7019]

I am a huge fan of shayne. His standup is absolutely fantastic and he's just so damn down to earth and interesting. Highly enjoyed this interview, he's not afraid about talking about what matters to him. Definitely check him out if you haven't yet

[@naamahsartistry]

Shayne Smith is one of my absolute fave comedians. Watching this interview and hearing the story behind his tattoos made my year! He really is the whole enchilada. Good looking, smart, funny, great tattoos and a beautiful soul. If I was 20 years younger.....sigh..... #shaynesmith

[@urgunmyhead12]

Hell Yeah!!

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

Exceptional inner strength to allow yourself to be simply happy and genuine… regardless what people think of you.

[@blaze14ZX]

I've heard Shane on some podcasts recently and it's good to put a face to the voice and hear more of his stories as well.

[@hansoo]

Love the raw honesty! Not a lot of people get to find themselves.

[@jonatanmarklund7473]

The mentioning of Atreyu/05 metalcore and "no regret". Omg how every scene guy 07 had no regret tattooed for a chest piece

[@rebecca4257]

Shayne is the best kind of people ❤ I, too have been a bad person, I’ve lost myself completely in trying to be a good person and now I’m getting to know the true me, a mixture of both. I appreciate his honesty, his humour and his perspective. ❤

[@Cassykins23]

Fucking love Shayne! Really cool to hear his story. Been a fan since the first dry bar set in like 2018!

[@tyleromega2006]

I love your Self. I view your videos when I need a boost and that always makes me feel better.

[@xriot1752]

Holy shit Shayne Smith is a great fucking vocalist, he sings for the band "Painted Devils".

[@HeyVey89]

I liked him so much before seeing this interview - that's since evolved to full blown

[@wrongsob]

I live in Utah and am pretty heavily tattooed, and for some reason I get mistaken for Shayne Smith all the time hahaha I was at fan x and people were asking for pictures and I didn't know why at first, then I just had it happen outside of a bar the other night. Pretty funny stuff.

[@michaelmiddleton9726]

I have never seen Shayne before yesterday and I am an instant fan.

[@MissBlueEyeliner]

I hope his career sky rockets. He’s such a great comedian and all around interesting guy.

[@belindagill4085]

who doesnt love Shayne hes hilarious and charismatic and super hot hes like the human trifecta.....i still dont believe hes single......i hope he finds the love of his life he deserves it

[@1000greenday]

“Vampires will think I’m hot or whatever” 😂😂😂

[@Benjamin-om3ih]

I've watched so much of Shayne's standup. He honestly seems like such a sweet man
