I think the reason why this country is so depressed and many ppl abusing drugs is bc there are too many ppl working soul sucking jobs. Every day i go to a job like this and i have never been more depressed over this past year. We assume that ppl working consistently is a good thing but bc many jobs are boring and useless we have a large population of ppl who are depressed bc of it
What are you saying? Jobs and income should be controlled by the government? There will always be an employer offering a shitty job with shitty pay and there will always be a sucker willing to work there. I think people need to bounce around the job market until they find what they're happy doing. I think joey has a podcast where he talks about quiting a job from one day to the next for bullshit reasons haha.
@@crusader1236 I hate the word criminal. Its a terrible an inaccurate way to describe people. Joey was a traumatized kid that used drugs to cover the pain. He lashed out a lot and hurt who he loved. But saying he'll always have a "Criminal mindset" is wrong. Criminal is inaccurate. You're only considered a "criminal" if you get caught. Aren't we criminals for speeding and smoking weed? Labeling people as "criminals" is how we justify mistreating them in our justice system
It’s amazing people think Joey lies I’m in my 30’s ran the streets in my teens and have done a total of 8 years incarcerated I’m a tax payer these days but my stories are out of this world lol I believe him because people sometimes don’t believe me
Same here. His stories are wild and some may be repeats of things that happened to other people. But I've definitely seen shit just as wild and even crazier stuff go down when i ran with drug dealers in my stupid young years
A Loch - Same here, 26 since 14 i live that life, recently left it. I know tons of people that are just like him. Easy to believe. Ive seen slot of crazy shit my self. I mean he was locked up for kidnapping. That in itself is proof he ain’t lying. People just live square ass lives and wouldn’t dare live a last life. & cant comprehend what happens.
Love how the topic went from people being bored at work to joeys descriptions of shitting pissing and throwing up out of an office window claiming it was one the most fun times of his life
I use to work at KFC. 8-10 hours a day all day cook chicken and clean while it's cooking. Getting an education now, Don't understand how people can do that shit their whole lives.
I've been bored for 6 years. I never thought it would happen to me. I was the new experiences guy. Only thing left to do is travel I guess, and do what? See what?
Joey coco Diaz and this podcast saved my life on the verge of giving up and then I found the church and the inspiring words the teachings the lessons Joey and the rest of the crew. I'm on track for the first time in my life
The thing is people do things they don't want to do and when they get that paycheck they want to blow it fast. So if you waste that money you just wasted hours of your life because you traded time for money. So there you are blowing money on the weekend then on Monday you go back to something you don't like. You gotta get out of that circle if you don't like it. You will always be working until you get old but its up to you if someone is gonna be bossing you around or you're gonna be the boss.
This is how society thrives on modern slavery, a job to make money that makes you miserable, well now don't you want to buy some shit to make you feel good? We got you! It's a vicious cycle
The problem with regular jobs is that people never feel passionate about what they're doing. They're just doing it for money, not self fulfillment. Find what you are interested in and make a career out of it.
What if you can't find what you are interested in? Or don't have the time/money to follow that passion?. Everyone says do what you like, but never tell you how to achieve it.
Joey has a quote where he says "If you really want it, you'll get by." He was talking about how he was doing comedy even though he wasnt making any money or had anywhere to live. It wont happen from one day to the next, you need to ask your self the right questions and make a plan. Its all up to you to act on the decisions you are scared to make. If you dont have enough confidence in your self to do that, then you are better off putting up with your regular job or finding a different job. Its not for everybody, or else everyone would be happy!
I’m almost 30 Still dong jobs that immigrants & people that just got out of prison don’t wanna do And I’m like uncle Joey I only last a week or 1 day or a mo th at ‘em and live in my 99 Saturn ….what happened ..how did this happen to me.
HA. I work in a carrt factory standing in the same spot making sure carrots dont fill up a spinning barrel that the long carrots go into for 8 hours 6 days a week
@Bill Haggard Nah i'm not like that. I feel bad when I treat people bad. I'm just a zombie for 7 hours even with coffee. It's the exact same shit every day.
I work in maintenance at a large news paper. I am bored some days and have so much fun other days...its all about perspective and how you deal with it.
