Nick's Therapy Pt 4

[@nosequiters]

1:59 nick said nasal instead of navel gazing which is what psychologists call a freudian bag of coke or thousand island slip

[@Loquacious_Jackson]

​@PARER1what does it mean?

[@delusionalmystic]

clearly it means he wants to watch stav snort diet coke of his oedipal mother's tits

Man that bit about burying oneself in work to cope with depression was something I’d never thought about before. Very insightful and thought provoking. Also, I’m gay.

[@jon1930]

Oneself

[@Trent_Moorman]

You absolutely must be straight if you haven't thought about that before

[@evanrico3244]

This is exactly the profile of many a self-identified workaholic. I'm gay

[@Prem_hall_713]

I realized that by myself after I started working 3 jobs. Coping with depression by working to fill my mind, day by day. Works decent for my gay mind

[@Garrett1240]

Hate to see my friend sad

[@proptosis2682]

Same. I'm gay

[@nobody-gh2yf]

I don't know about anybody else but this is a lot of what compelled me to watch the show in the first place was that Nick seemed like a real human being trying to figure his s*** out and he didn't sort of hide behind a facade other than that of humor and making light of his own suffering but I like Nick's introspection and it's part of the reason I listen

[@PodcastArcade]

i agree

[@duh_vinchy]

Are you gay tho

[@nosequiters]

I agree also youre gay

[@TopSoulMan]

No matter how successful Nick becomes, he'll always be in the trenches because of his poisonous mind. A lot of comics struggle and it makes them bitter. Nick's struggles make him fugue out and become a comedy genius.

[@dstill3434]

My good friend nick said he hates people telling him that his vulnerability really helps them so I try to honor our friendship by not telling him how much I enjoy listening to these segments. Mostly because I’m gay.

[@aisdjsiasiodjisoajd7698]

Really loved Adam here.

[@Woombi]

Can’t wait for nicks therapy part 5, I’m sure over the years you can literally make like a hundred episodes of this shit

[@PodcastArcade]

I can, but this is the last one for now.

[@Personal_Chizo]

@@PodcastArcade You need to chop them into multiple seasons, lol.

[@OhHeBustin]

Like wes isn't right.

[@Guiltyconscience83]

It’s just Tina gonna be the Robin Williams bit where he’s free associating his own suicide. “ oh, I’m gonna take this rope and make a knot, and then another knot, and oh it’s pretzle time…”

[@AlexanderEddy]

When you don't have enough time to call the suicide hotline

[@SpongetteWilliams]

does nick know that therapy and being depressed is only for women

[@Double_Vision]

It's because Nick has Fibromyalgia, the fake woman disease

[@kierandocherty9475]

Depression is for men, anxiety is for women. Everyone knows this

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Nick has a lot of relatable insight. Keep doing these. I’ll even pay for them.

[@Personal_Chizo]

2:00 A lot gets talked about Stavvy's thousand-isle stare, but why isn't "nasal-gazing" more of a thing? [Tucker Carlson voice] What is going on?!

[@kivsto8130]

I've never met someone who's talked about going to therapy where it has seemed like it has helped. It seems like they repeat the stuff they've learned but recognizing the thought pattern just reminds them that they're sad

[@PodcastArcade]

you're supposed to learn your own lame patterns, learn how to spot lame thinking, and try to get ahead of it. That's the point. Sometimes BAD therapists will just sit there and let you talk, and you accomplish nothing except maybe feeling better that day. It's a bummer that there's like a 50/50 chance you'll get a loser therapist who doesn't help with shit.

[@kivsto8130]

@@PodcastArcade I'm just afraid id get stuck with one that has the same work ethic as me which is narcoleptic Garfield. Or just sees me as an npc

[@PodcastArcade]

@@kivsto8130 I wish I could say that wouldn't happen, but it totally could. It's exactly like buying pants, you need to try some on, and eventually one fits, then that goes great, you make progress, until one day you shit your pants, then you have to start the process all over.

[@comiumapedra5397]

@@PodcastArcade that doesnt work, you get paranoid just thinking abt whats gonna happen.

[@douglasdiggins8296]

Therapy doesn't work. It's a fake profession made by the illuminati to trick people into thinking they can be happy.

[@Trent_Moorman]

This series rocks

[@freddydickson3071]

I think being smart is a burden when it comes to shit like this. I’d rather be a moron that never started asking why.

[@PodcastArcade]

You can carry the burden of being a magnificent human being, or you can be an animal. If you're an animal, then you have to wallow in feces with the rest of the animals. That's always been the deal.

[@ashiok]

A truly smart person will figure out the answers within themselves

[@ThePainkiller9995]

massive cope

[@kuunt6065]

midwits are the ones who think like this. if you're smart enough you can realise that it's not worth worrying about.

[@Antheraws]

Very awesome he shares it openly cause everyone struggles and it's good to be reminded even the happiest most successful funny people also have the same human struggles.

[@i3i2ian]

Whoever made this: you are a genius. Thank you.

[@BPchadlite]

Are you allowed to say hard r's to a therapist or does it make them uncomfortable?

[@fuguestatetoo6789]

I'll ask

[@nicholasbyram296]

The rapists prefer if you pronounce it, "theapist."

[@dgh6g33gf]

Legally, unless the racism applies to the therapist himself, they can't snitch I think, because of their oath. They could request a transfer bu thats it I think

[@PodcastArcade]

@@dgh6g33gf they are supposed to maintain a aura of non-judgement.

[@Petergonzalezcomedy]

I think hard r’s are ok but anti semitism is a no no

[@mayonaisepancakes8644]

the thumbnails on Nick's spiraling mind is a beautiful, tasteful, AND gay joke in itself.

[@PodcastArcade]

Thanks very much. As you can see from my other videos, this was the most work and "design" i've put into any thumbnails. This one with the blacked out eyes is my favorite.

[@mayonaisepancakes8644]

@@PodcastArcade foreal, you killed it. I thought it was genuinely very funny. Thanks for your content

[@itsTEMP353]

relatable.

[@harryhasselhoff9692]

It's so funny when Nick goes "smartest man in the room" mode.

[@PodcastArcade]

Usually, the smartest man in the room, and the only cum town fan in the room, are the same person.

[@Adam-yo3bt]

Well he needs to quit the podcast because in his eyes it isn't worth it and is akin to fucking around so he doesn't feel fulfilled. Whereas if he were to find something that fulfilled him not necessarily work related, like starting a family or doing something to help others he could and probably would find meaning there and overtime blossom into something more than "time to say that's gay for 1 million dollars a year" that being said he should pursue creative work and maybe something that explains his feelings at that point in a transformative retrospective way that would also allow him to cope with past trauma in a healthy way. Like painting or making a short film or something along that line. But what do I know I'm gay.

[@demolitionsexpert]

@@Adam-yo3bt my take also, he needs to find something that is fulfilling and it isnt sitting around doing the pod, when he says he wants a shop to work in, etc. So he knows he would rather being doing something physical or has an end product to feel productive about.

[@barfymann362]

Listen to me Nick, all this shit...it's not your fault.

"I don't wanna be a burden on other people in my life" - right after rambling about yourself for 40-plus minutes

"…nasal gazing…"

[@randomness4272]

Hey how do you make the mouths move to the waveform I've been trying to find out but I can't find any easily source to look for it. Love this style. I'm guessing it's adobe animate or after effects or something?

[@PodcastArcade]

Thanks for asking. I wrote the software myself. it's built on top of the Unity game engine. I don't use any video editing software, the whole video gets made inside unity and I screen record it with OBS. This whole channel is just an engineering project for me. Full explanation here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5PHnGOChN6Mo68 In fact, i think i'm going to start live streaming myself making the videos, so the whole process will be on display. It takes me like 1 and a half hours to make a video.

[@randomness4272]

@@PodcastArcade this whole concept seems really intuitive, the code makes it really really, really crazily interesting. no puppetry, that's just his real face and voice Unity... I've been looking at all these diverse fields in my own creative and career endeavors, so I'm really glad to get such a detailed reply! Goes without saying, it's all really cool, you rock man, event if the videos have adam in it I still watch them for the puppet show nature of them that's just so entertaining. I can really appreciate how much fun you have with the visuals, as a fan. also, I'm gay.

[@PodcastArcade]

@@randomness4272 Thanks very much. Unity (or any game engine) can be used to make non-game things and if you take time to learn how any game engine works (go through tutorials) it can be another fun medium for creative projects. It's fun to take images, sound and video and throw them into a game engine and make nonsense. Most game engines have "particle systems" which you can configure to make all sorts of visual junk too, so you can make art that throws up on itself.

[@diegorosalesjumbo]

i could not find that episode on patreon, am i not gay enough?

It's on the regular episode feed, not patreon. It came out 9/14/2022, right after "Ep XYX - Surprise Ending"

"nasal gazing"

Why do you give Nick a Jack Murphy beard? Is he not depressed enough already without you bringing him down more?

[@PodcastArcade]

he gave himself that beard. I'm just reporting the facts.
