2025-04-11 15:52:32 +0000 UTCeveryone whining in the comments about the last 15 minutes completely missed the point. andrew had a couple dumb moments in there but overall i agree with most of what they said
ClayHasLlamas
2025-02-27 00:14:55 +0000 UTChonestly, it’s kinda sad to know that the podcast i listen to everyday literally has no sympathy for people like me and normal people in general. y’all aren’t depressed because you make a good living off of something you enjoy. you’ll also never have to worry about real world problems because you’re rich. but you have the audacity to mock people who are struggling everyday because you don’t like complaining about real problems that you would never have. kaya is honestly the worst, a dude coming from a third world country who was fortunate enough to leave and have a better life because he got lucky on the internet. yall really should think about shit before you say it
Zachary Hall
2025-02-26 20:05:11 +0000 UTCThe last bit is honestly wild. I wish i had a job where i do nothing but commentate for 1 hour and get thousands. Would be nice instead of being sad and miserable all the time

2025-02-22 19:22:41 +0000 UTCSo when we getting the Andrew motivational special where he says hey man put the phone down and step outside for everyone to tell at him
Aaron Spence
2025-02-20 18:25:42 +0000 UTCThank you for the offer, but I’m fine. No need to give me merch, your wonderful reply was enough for me Jackson. You guys just keep on podcasting and I’ll keep on truckn’ Between you 3 and the Red Thread, y’all gotten me through many hours of hauling. Just keep doing what you’re doing.
Jonathan K.
2025-02-20 01:21:14 +0000 UTCgotta love three dudes with golden spoons telling us to suck it up, never have I considered ending my patronage until now. It just felt like you guys spitting in the face of the people that got you to where you are. Literally just saying "if you're sad, stop talking about it! I don't wanna hear it, it makes me sad!"
Tylagaunt
2025-02-18 15:35:04 +0000 UTCSo you get drunk after work instead of being productive? Got it.
Ace 1nst1nct
2025-02-18 05:14:01 +0000 UTCWould you rather hear life advice from a crack addict? I'm perfectly fine with these guys sharing THEIR advice based on THEIR experiences. Nobody is forcing you to take their advice.
Ace 1nst1nct
2025-02-18 05:10:08 +0000 UTCI do appreciate jackson in the comments. People can disagree and people can agree with them. It's not the end of the world when you're favorite podcast disagrees with you.
Amie Wildes
2025-02-18 03:55:50 +0000 UTCYeah Everytime they talk about food I hear so much misinformation and pseudo science. The pesudo science has less evidence backing its benefits than the evidence of those supposedly harmful ingredients actually being harmless.
Vinny
2025-02-17 18:30:11 +0000 UTCSounds like that struck a chord. You must leave work and scroll for 5 hours until you start the next day.
beans
2025-02-17 16:39:02 +0000 UTCNo apology necessary, Korin! Like I said, I totally understand why there is this reaction in the first place. It's frustrating to hear from people who aren't experiencing the same issues as you, it happens to me too. You feel unheard or like your problem is being ignored or like your problem is being devalued when that happens. I absolutely get it. But, it's not! We're not saying that people aren't experiencing real problems, we know they are. We just want people to believe they can grow and find happiness, because believing that is truly the first step. Now I do sound like a hack life coach, but it is true! Anyway, Korin and Jonathan, please send me a message at theofficialpodcastyt@gmail.com. I'd love to send you both some free merch to say thank you for your long time support and willingness to engage in some helpful discussion! Thanks again and wishing you both the best. -J
The Boys
2025-02-17 16:38:43 +0000 UTCJackson. Let me first apologize for the underhanded comment. I'll admit that I did end up taking alot of what you guys were saying out of context and felt frustrated. I won't be removing it however because I believe some good came out of it. Both Jon's and your comment helped me and maybe they can help others too. I appreciate it. Was not expecting to be set straight by a random guy online and a creator I look up to. I missed the mark and that's on me. Thanks for what you do.
Korin
2025-02-17 16:06:27 +0000 UTCThat was wonderful Jonathan. Thank you for offering your perspective. Korin, I understand where you're coming from. It does sound patronizing coming from us. We've got unique jobs and, like you said, the last traditional job I held that was a 9-5 was when I was 18. I do work every single day and they're long hours and filled with stress but I absolutely understand that I'm still in a privileged position that most would kill for and it's why I understand the backlash here. But, I think the point, as Jon expanded on, is that our message is one of positivity (at least in our own cynical way). It's about saying that you shouldn't wish for an end to all life on Earth because you're in a difficult position. Only you have the ability to see the beauty in life and only you have the chance of making positive changes for yourself. It's hard, I get that, and some people have more room to make those changes. But once you give in to that feeling of depressive nihilism, it becomes a hole that is very difficult to get out. I've been there. I have a very fortunate life but I also have clinical depression. Sometimes it's easy to get buried in that feeling and sometimes it's easy to feel like there's no conceivable way that anything good will ever happen. But that hole really doesn't serve to benefit me and it really doesn't serve to benefit you, so the only option is to try to climb out of it. I hope you find happiness and I truly do wish you the best. -J
The Boys
2025-02-17 14:21:07 +0000 UTCNah, it’s all good. Sometimes different perspectives can help. Even if I helped a tiny shred. I’m glad.
Jonathan K.
2025-02-17 13:44:28 +0000 UTCI have a 2.5yo almost 3yo son and we do not own an iPad. I hate seeing the iPads, kids don’t know how to socialize anymore
Ryan Smith
2025-02-17 12:25:26 +0000 UTCNeeded this. Ty Jon. Just felt patronized.
Korin
2025-02-17 11:55:49 +0000 UTCOuch, I can definitely see they offended you. Nah, I’ve worked in warehouse moving heavy freight to being an OTR trucker for longer than they’ve been a podcast. I’ve been isolated away from humans for months at a time on the road. I’ve been in desolate places with no humans within 20 miles of me, I’ve been through blizzards, I’ve been up and down mountain passes, through major cities. I thought about blowing my brains out couple of times. However, anytime I felt like shit, I remembered the positives of life. No matter how small. They’re definitely right. Don’t want to hear it from them, it would come out the same out of my mouth. Then again, it doesn’t matter what I have to say. Cause you’ll find a way to reject it too. Then again, what is a life coach gonna offer that we can’t? Some degree some quote from some Greek scholars, or some cheesy metaphor for life. Here’s mine. I can’t understand what you feel and you can’t understand how I feel. We’re humans, we’re all different, but I can try to help. If it’s not you, then someone else might read this and take from it. I’ve seen the sunrise over the Rockies, to the sunset on the rolling hills of Wyoming, to bustling colorfully lit cities at night. I’ve seen beauty, I’ve also seen death on the road, I’ve faced challenges that would make the average person break. That’s what makes life wonderful. The adventure of it all. Our lives are like the road, we all take different paths to the end. What road you choose to take is up to you. If you wanna take my life advice,I’ll be glad, if you don’t you don’t, either way I’ll sleep like a baby and hopefully wake up to the warm sun. If not, it might’ve been a short life, but I’d be satisfied . Anyways, 10-4 out.
Jonathan K.
2025-02-17 11:51:26 +0000 UTCNo worries Ryan, wishing you the best and hope you're able to make some changes that lead to positivity in your life. Everyone is capable of it. -J
The Boys
2025-02-17 11:43:14 +0000 UTCYou guys lost me with the last convo Forgive me for not taking life advice from 3 guys who have had 1 traditional job. You guys are entertainment. Not life coaches.
Korin
2025-02-17 09:39:00 +0000 UTCHealth sciences=NA probably
Awwwcrap
2025-02-17 06:59:59 +0000 UTCYeah... showing some real intelligence whining and sperging over a podcast. 🧐 You have that Rick and Morty IQ huh?
Awwwcrap
2025-02-17 06:58:20 +0000 UTCThank you for your response Jackson <3
Ryan
2025-02-17 06:37:36 +0000 UTCTrust me kiddo I wish I was as dumb as yall. The world is so much more simple with a simple brain
Yonder
2025-02-17 05:48:27 +0000 UTCSo what camps has he started, where's the people rounded up, which country is being invaded. Elon is a bit of retard, but people really look for any reason to be angry. It's so funny how quickly people went from kissing his feet to "he's literally Hitler"
Awwwcrap
2025-02-17 05:44:51 +0000 UTCNah you right. idk what it is but Andrew mate, you gotta calm down, you're not the centre of attention
RasherBacon
2025-02-17 05:37:14 +0000 UTCCry harder 👶
Awwwcrap
2025-02-17 05:34:49 +0000 UTCDie on the hill of a scientist, my own education, and the collective research of every scientist on earth over the bullshitting of 3 uneducated guys? Yes everytime
Yonder
2025-02-17 04:06:55 +0000 UTCAre you really trying to die on bill nyes hill?
Andre Padilla
2025-02-17 01:06:45 +0000 UTCWell based of my experience yea but I don’t really know so 🤷♂️
Ret Retro
2025-02-16 23:15:53 +0000 UTCI mean, doing a nazi salute on national television is usually a clear sign. I’m not interested in arguing, just throwing a topic towards the Boys. But by all means, keep defending him if my comment offends you so much
Schoops
2025-02-16 23:11:47 +0000 UTCAnd they're saying that's a problem based on literally 0 evidence other than "fat people exist and drink soda"
Yonder
2025-02-16 22:43:18 +0000 UTCYou're welcome hommie😘
Awwwcrap
2025-02-16 22:35:54 +0000 UTCYou doubt it’s common to smoke weed and draw?
Jeremiah
2025-02-16 22:30:44 +0000 UTCWell what are you expecting? They’re a podcast that speaks upon things happening actively on social media, what is predominately across social media? Negative topics
Jeremiah
2025-02-16 22:29:43 +0000 UTCDo you even understand the term “literal”? Because if you did Elon musk is not a “literal” nazi or even a figurative nazi. Like if I were to sit you down and show you right wing political ideals you’d point fingers and play the Nazi card Do you have any idea what an actual Nazi is? Like genuinely do you?
Jeremiah
2025-02-16 22:27:43 +0000 UTCThey’re not defending Elon? They even acknowledged how terrible of a person he is, they were criticizing the people who wish genuine failure on the advancement of humans just because Elon is involved in that, at least actually listen to the episode if you’re going to bitch about it lmao
Jeremiah
2025-02-16 22:25:10 +0000 UTCThe point isnt that what’s in the food is going to kill you, but it has addictive properties, it’s better avoided than anything
Jeremiah
2025-02-16 22:23:13 +0000 UTCit’s not as popular but if you listen to star wars books on audible it feels like a movie without actually watching it. path of destruction is my favorite and have heard it over 10 times already
yonko_destructible
2025-02-16 22:20:42 +0000 UTCProving my point exactly thank you lil sis
Yonder
2025-02-16 21:56:57 +0000 UTCNaw. Bill kinda gay
Awwwcrap
2025-02-16 21:34:01 +0000 UTCAndrew saying Bill Nye being bad now is HILARIOUSLY ironic. He tried to adapt his kid style education to adults because of people like Andrew thinking they are smart but not listening to actual science. Also Bill has done very adult science education and yall still didn't listen. It's a lose-lose and yall complain both ways
Yonder
2025-02-16 17:54:44 +0000 UTCThe amount of times they've said X natural sweetener is killing people is absurd. Them saying Diet soda is unhealthy, food dyes cause autism etc... they have 0 education and speak about very complex topics that they've never been right about
Yonder
2025-02-16 17:50:47 +0000 UTCIt's not even the internet, it's RFK, he spread his brainworms to Kaya, and they may be spreading to the other 2 from there
12TrillionIQ
2025-02-16 17:47:15 +0000 UTCAs someone in health sciences, yall talking about food additives and diet related topics annoys me so much. Yall have been scared by the internet into fearing everything. EVERYTHING in moderation is perfectly fine for you, just don't over do it
Yonder
2025-02-16 17:34:32 +0000 UTCI need Kaya to bully me Doug style but with smoking weed
Zack
2025-02-16 15:03:23 +0000 UTCI know these are my drunken rants but still this is the first time I've ever considered to quit my patreon and stop listening completely since the very beginning of the show
Brz12311
2025-02-16 04:44:24 +0000 UTC"You can walk home from your job and still have half of your day to do anything you want to achieve" except there is no energy left, you have no money left and few hours and still we get to hear amazing Andrew speak on how much time we have left, oh id kill to have to work as little and get paid as much
Brz12311
2025-02-16 04:41:21 +0000 UTCNo but i understand how you guys struggle aswell working 2 hours a week making 10x money as everyone else must be hard
Brz12311
2025-02-16 04:31:29 +0000 UTCAh great 3 people who all together have the work experience of a 19 kid talking about how we should fee about our jobsl, how compelling and genuine
Brz12311
2025-02-16 04:26:20 +0000 UTCIdk I mean like I like listening to the official podcast and I like all of the boys but it just feels like whenever Andrew talks (I’m not saying it’s all the time) but it feels like he is just bragging about himself or talking down to his audience, again idk, but also tbh Charlie barley talked the last few episodes he was in
THELOLMAN
2025-02-16 02:21:06 +0000 UTCNothing new
CheeseCake King
2025-02-16 02:09:58 +0000 UTCI've seen too many people with opinions that are just plain wrong
CheeseCake King
2025-02-16 02:09:11 +0000 UTCYes
CheeseCake King
2025-02-16 02:08:56 +0000 UTCSeems like it. I mean there's one less person so it's more room to talk
CheeseCake King
2025-02-16 02:07:00 +0000 UTCIs it just me or does it feel like Andrew had a huge ego boost ever since Charlie left, I could be looking far into things but idk
THELOLMAN
2025-02-15 23:19:31 +0000 UTCAgreed! There's good things in Star Wars (like Andor and the new Jedi games), I'm just so tired of the slop that makes up a majority of it. -J
The Boys
2025-02-15 21:51:56 +0000 UTCAll I hear in these episodes nowadays is defending Elon Musk and being unrelatable douchebags. Yeah I really wanna hear you guys complain about people less fortunate than you having depression from your ivory throne So out of touch. Sounds like some old retired grumps at the golf course. "They're not happy because they don't work hard enough" is what every old head says. Meanwhile your podcasting career was started off of someone else's success
DreccanOfAntlers
2025-02-15 18:16:46 +0000 UTCAndor is by far the best the entire Star Wars franchise has ever offered
PhillyBeast
2025-02-15 16:25:05 +0000 UTCDoes anyone else just not have any interests. If I did not have a job to wake up for I would just lie in bed I think
Bigbuffa
2025-02-15 12:22:05 +0000 UTCThat's what they always do and are known for..., they even had to introduce a things we like corner because of how negative they were for a bit, idk what you expect
Frankie
2025-02-15 11:01:34 +0000 UTCNot even related to this episode because I haven't listened to more then 15 min yet
Brz12311
2025-02-15 04:52:02 +0000 UTCJesus chriest everything andrew says is cringe
Brz12311
2025-02-15 04:49:12 +0000 UTCSimp all you want but I’ve had two of my comments insulting Andrew receive likes from Jackson. Even his own friends don’t defend him.
Western Philosopher
2025-02-15 04:14:24 +0000 UTCBoys I’m hoping the Elon bit is just outdated for yall cause he’s been doing nazi stuff. Like he’s a literal nazi. Look into it, it’s pretty goofy
Schoops
2025-02-15 02:38:15 +0000 UTCthe federation is basically the imperium on a smaller scale. imagine warhammer with star trek warp or vise versa i mean come on lol
Kolt45mm
2025-02-15 01:55:39 +0000 UTCStartrek and Warhammer could not be any further apart 😭
Pete the cat
2025-02-15 01:53:23 +0000 UTCstar trek is warhammer with a good warp system fr
Kolt45mm
2025-02-15 00:13:39 +0000 UTCOh def I think I picture a lot more then while sober. Makes me get fond memories of books. I def do think it’s a case by case basis though. Some people should not smoke weed (Jackson Clark)
Ret Retro
2025-02-15 00:06:54 +0000 UTCCola is a plant (a nut I think?) that’s from Africa so it is kinda natural
Nubian Cypher
2025-02-14 20:51:32 +0000 UTCAndrew is such jail bait
Fueled By Fart Porn
2025-02-14 20:48:52 +0000 UTCStar Trek and Star wars are both equally good in their own regards and I'm tired of people comparing them, it's like comparing Lord of the rings to game of thrones because it's both fantasy with dragons, it's fair and fun to question which is better, but kinda impossible to answer
Simon Hughes
2025-02-14 20:40:08 +0000 UTCWe love andrew and won't accept any slander towards him
Mr.Corn-Bread
2025-02-14 20:10:08 +0000 UTCI think they're both criminally overrated but because of star wars successful games and spinoffs I'd say star wars. Star trek and star wars are both hard not to fall asleep during. Infact nearly impossible imo.
CheeseCake King
2025-02-14 19:38:37 +0000 UTCThe fact that you felt personally attacked is the best example of what they talked about near the end . Don't take the pessimism road , don't take what they said I'm such a negative way, don't believe they attacked you by saying" being sad is easy" . I don't know you but you can make a change no matter your situation and feeling attacked by someone who's wishing for you to get better is not the way
Moldovan Bogdan
2025-02-14 19:29:24 +0000 UTCAnd do you remember anything after you read it ? I just can t tbh that's why I don't do it but drawing I like as well building lego

2025-02-14 19:23:01 +0000 UTCWhere is the reel boys?
Anthony Faleiro
2025-02-14 19:14:02 +0000 UTCI'm sad to see that the official podcast is now in the pockets of the federal government saying that everything is ok so we don't rebel. My rebel force dropped by 30% since the release of this episode thanks guys.We lost half of the rpg squad :((

Awwwcrap
2025-02-14 17:25:55 +0000 UTCIt’s amazing how Andrew manages to always have bad taste. You’d think someone that smug and confident in his opinions would be right at least occasionally.
Western Philosopher
2025-02-14 16:23:52 +0000 UTCAs a sad person, being sad is kinda cringe.
Western Philosopher
2025-02-14 16:19:20 +0000 UTCYou guys this was literally an entire episode of complaining… to many more of these I might have to take a listening break tbh.

Ryan Smith
2025-02-14 13:02:48 +0000 UTCLotta hate on them stoners this episode I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment but it's more the people and not the weed. I been high since high school and its helped me a ton with anxiety and actually going for some of the projects I'd been dreaming about now I got a track with 10k streams featuring a legend in my genre. It's all about how you use it and your drive/motivation as a person, I've always been motivated but was too anxious in the past to go for my dreams but some people just have no motivation and want to spiral their whole life
lanirus
2025-02-14 12:42:45 +0000 UTCPrequels are better, Andrews boomer genes are at maximum Power. "back in my day we watched star trek to ponder lives questions 👴🏻"
CaptianMex1C0
2025-02-14 12:21:58 +0000 UTCBeing sad is okay, it's just unhealthy to give in to the pessimism. We're not shitting on you or anyone who is sad, we just want you guys to find happiness instead of ruminating in negative feelings (which is definitely easy to do). Hope you're able to get out of the sadness. -J

2025-02-14 11:26:39 +0000 UTCdamn i didnt expect to get shit on for being sad
