I have absolutely no idea who this guy is but i think he’s probably the best guest so far. Very open and honest and he appears to be so authentically himself. Great job. Happy Easter🐣
Joey being early and excited honestly shows a level of gratitude, excitement, and appreciation that is so uncommon these days. He's just such a sweet soul!
Wow on tv joey is portrayed as such an idiot bro kinda guy. Hes so much more intelligent and well spoken than i thought. Reminds me not to judge what i see on tv/internet so quickly
I love hearing two grown men saying “I love you” as friends. It’s a beautiful thing and hopefully more men can say it without feeling shame or awkwardness. I’ve heard many men say it’s weird to say if you’re not in relationship with that person, so keep breaking that stigma, Dr. Mike! ❤ 1:44:03
I’m really enjoying this guest. I’ve never seen reality shows, but I look forward to seeing him in Hollywood; he carries himself with wisdom, grace, and humility. ❤
I met my husband online playing video games over a decade ago. We started out as friends, became best friends and dated for about a year before getting engaged. We are getting ready to celebrate our 3 year anniversary in May. ❤️ He is truly my other half and I'm happy we started out as friends. It forced us to truly get to know one another with no other expectations and it worked for us.
I've watched half the episode. This man, Joey, he is going places. I'm absolutely floored. This guy has wisdom, reasoning skills and emotional depth that's hard to match. I genuinely wish this guy all the best.
As someone who works with individuals that struggle with substance use disorder, it’s very eye opening to hear this perspective of it all, and making sure that I’m making sure that I’m that life preserver for individuals who are struggling to identify what the best path forward for my patients. Thank you so much for sharing and thanks Dr Mike for allowing your guests to have the space to share their thoughts and experiences
I've commented on a few podcasts of yours, but they keep getting better and better. This one.... wow, Dr. Mike. I have a lot to say about this episode, but I'll just stick to saying that you are excellent at what you do. You and your team deserve all the best. ❤
This is amazing, respectful, quality conversation about love and relationship. I am loving your podcast Mike,each episode is more interesting then the last one,keep up the great work!
Never have I felt so completely understood as a person mentally as I did with Joey, wow! As someone with anxiety, OCD, and an addictive personality who has always been a workaholic who often struggles with sleeping more than 6-7 hours a night but when I crash I crash hard to make up for it I really related to him. I’m not sure if I have clinical depression or not but I’ve definitely struggled with feelings of depression at different points in my life and at one point in high school I was so lost that if I hadn’t had the opportunity to change high schools I fully believe that I would not be here today because of the direction I was headed in and how I had no self worth that I didn’t see myself amounting to anything as a result. Great episode!
Wow this is so powerful, it goes to show that there is so much more to a person than their persona or exterior. Especially the part about his depression and addiction. I can connect to that because at my lowest point depression had shackled my very soul and there were countless days where i thought i couldn't go on or get out of bed. I used the gym to hide my pain but all of the down time in between was when my scars grew.
Loved the part about approaching people with how they need to be helped in that moment. Sometimes people need tough love or a project plan and other times they just need a hug. Practice compassion!
Mike, Believe it, you are so loved.😊 So many people follow you and you don't even know. When I wear your merch around people talk to me about you and how they love you and what you do. There are always going to be haters out there, but you are more loved than anything. You are kind, generous, and handsome. You're doing everything in your power to help people and causes to make a difference and it's incredible. More people love you for this than the ones jealous of your awesomeness. Keep shining like you do. We're all cheering you on and we love you. ❤️ Lilly
Joey!! I adore you❤❤ you are such a sweetie and I swear you give off the energy of someone who would be ok with giving someone a hug when they have a look..you justseem that sweet, like you wouldn't hesitate to hug someone who looks in need of support.. ❤
I love Joey since I watched the circle! I’ve never expected this collaboration but you are both amazing. Dr. Mike you have amazing interview skills and allow your guests to complete their thoughts while being engaged. Great job!
Everything he’s said about Rochester NY is very true it honestly hasn’t gotten any better which sucks. Him and his family are amazing people they are so sweet and wholesome.
Diving in deep right at the beginning. This is a great conversation, I love how open Joey is, he must have grown so much from his struggles. We stan post traumatic growth 🎉
I absolutely love this type of content from you Dr. Mike and I love the quick fire round, great stuff! I was just thinking, man it would be so cool to see Andrew Huberman on your show!
Im not big into reality shows but watched the circle during the lockdown and loved Joey. Only watched perfect match when I found out he was on it. His story is so similar to mine. Ex addict. Not able to sleep no matter what. (When the theory was said everything clicked for me.) and dealing with anxiety. Would love to see a part 2 eventually. Love watching both of you ❤
Have no clue who this guy is. But he sounded like he’s just trying to be the best person as he can be. I enjoy this conversation. Happy to hear that there are studies that can prove kids get beneficial effects from two parent family regardless of gender. Can increase the chances of kids being adopted to a family.
I've commented on a few podcasts of yours, but they keep getting better and better. This one.... wow, Dr. Mike. I have a lot to say about this episode, but I'll just stick to saying that you are excellent at what you do. You and your team deserve all the best. That's why I think you should do a podcast with your producer Sam about behind-the-scenes of the channel and crazy stories.
World's COLLIDING. I love all the Netflix reality shows and been following Dr Mike for years. Great conversation. I'm bummed that perfect match cut out sobriety conversations.
I'm 34. I'm so glad I never dated when I was younger. I've grown and learned so much about myself through the years. I'm waiting. Only God knows who I'm going to marry. I agree with the friends first a thousand percent. Having that time to get to know each other is very important. Maybe it will turn into something, maybe it won't. That's OK. There's still a friend there. Love this convo, Dr. Mike. So good.
Really enjoy these podcasts, this one in particular. It’s a excellent reminder of how, until we sit down and really TALK to someone, we don’t actually know them. Will definitely try to implement this new knowledge in the future.
I just know this podcast of dr.mike, and it is true it's very interesting to watch all his videos, i love the way you communicate to someone your very humble, concern and funny sometimes, no wonder why we adore you dr.mike, godbless.❤
It is amazing how the podcast is able to bring these super star icons to the level of reality that we all need. Especially when they speak about us as viewers only seeing these people through screens, I think we all could benefit from taking a step back and admitting that we were all born the same way, we all carry the yolk of being human and these glamorized people we call celebrities are just as freaked out as we are most of the time. Lets cut each other some slack and help each other be better❤ Thank you once again Dr Mike. Your genuity is refreshing and admirable and your podcasts are gold❤
Congratulations for your sobriety Joey!!!❤❤❤ Wishing you the best to continue forward with mental health and sobriety! Thing is I believe if u don't start with yourself and your mental health let the therapist learn and k kw and trust you then you feel comfort in opening up with addiction and other things! Proud of you! Keep it going forward!!! ❤❤❤ ITS not an easy thing to deal with! Much respect and love! Prayers Joey ! Thanks for sharing ! ❤
Sometimes, "The One" is you. Give all that love, care and consideration you have and give so freely to others to yourself instead. You are the one who needs and deserves it 🖤
I would LOVE to see Mike on dancing with the stars!! OMG an improv show would be the best, please. This episode was awesome to watch, loved the topics today. Definitely my favorite podcast to listen to. Cheers!!
Already great advise just in the first 3 minutes of this video; having a solid friendship first with anyone you aspire to build a long lasting romantic relationship with is a must. That has been my experience in my own life and those around me.
I just binged the first episode of The Circle this past weekend. Episode one - they introduce all of the players, and I immediately (and incorrectly) dismiss Joey Sasso due to the Jersey stereotype. I quickly realized how wrong I was - he's incredibly funny, smart as hell, and _emotionally_ smart as well. I have never been so happy to be wrong.
I vibe with Joey’s sleep chronotype! I hate the way society has structured life that work and school start so early, those are the best sleeping hours!
Omg! I never comment but I loved this episode! Joey has such an endearing, radiant, authentic energy. Very attractive. You two have a great vibe Dr. Mike! Nice job!
I did a triple take when I saw Joey AND Dr. Mike!? Joey is a reality show contestant that I think about literally all the time. He is such a genuine person. ❤
Dude. I get what he is saying when he talks about , let’s act like we are on the 12th date. The comfortability . It’s like that with my bf now. We mesh so well and he is my best friend, we just get each other and to have no ego involved in a relationship is the key. Respect for one another .
Holy carp it's Joey! Man, I loved him so much in The Circle. Me and my grandma and mom were rooting for him or Shubaum to win the season because he was just so nice and sweet!
3:20 he's not wrong. *All* people in long-term relationships I know, started off as friends. Could be because friendship brings no expectations and despite that if the other person does something for you when there was no need to, your brain identifies this person as trustworthy. So once in a relationship, your brain refuses to look at their flaws as major red flags. Thus making this person a part of your "tribe". Best/close friends, siblings, fav colleague and family, all started off by GIVING when they didn't need to, to whatever bond we have with them today. Your
The pandemic definitely made me reevaluate what I want in a life partner and made me be more selective, in general, with which relationships (romantic and not romantic) I put my energy into. Pandemic opened my eyes to a lot.
Are you fairly well controlled with your blood sugars? I'm type 1 diabetic, age 45 with numerous surgeries under my belt. One was an emergency surgery for pancreatitus. Other than slower healing and stitch removal, all turned out well.
what Joey says in the first segment about (hetero) men being open to most willing women and women being picky has evolutionary truth! there is a lot of evolutionary psychology to back this up; because males can procreate with any female they meet at any given time while females can’t (wait for ovulation and each gestation period). females are more picky while males are not - most data on hetero couples. but i can let you know about LGBTQ+ after tmrw’s lecture🙈
Video idea! Can you do a video on cholesterol pros and cons. Some people are telling me that there is research behind higher LDL and living longer but all doctors want our ldl to be lower… need information because I have high cholesterol and I need assistance
Omg , I LOVE JOEY!!!! CONGRATS U DESERVED THAT WIN !!! THE CIRCLE WAS A GREAT SHOW!! ❤ LOVE HOW THIS DUDE IS FAMILY ORIENTED AND HOW VALUES AND MORALS CAME OUT RIGHT OFF WITH THIS GUY!!! NOW, I HAD TO BUST THE CAP LOCK OUT ON THESE 2 GUYS!!!! BOTH BEAUTIFULLY WELL ROUNDED MEN! BOTH GREAT FAMILY ORIENTED AND VALUES ❤❤❤ DR. MIKE, IM SO PROUD OF YOU! ITS SO HARD TO BE ATTRACTIVE AND SINGLE PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK YOU NEED TO BE HOOKED UP WHEN FATE WILL HAPPEN . GOD BRINGS OUR PERAON TO US WHEN ITS TIME. WE CAN BE SO READY BUT REALLY NOT READY AT ALL IF THAT MAKES SENSE! GLAD U GOT BEAR 🐻 ❤ SHE WILL SHOW UP WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT! THEN IMA KNOCK HER OUTA THE WAY AND SAY NO..... ALL MINE!!!! JOKING HAHAHAHA SHE WILL SHOW UP WHEN TIME IS RIGHT. I THINK JOEY IS RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS KINDA GO OUT DONT GO FAST, BE FRIENDS FIRST BECAUSE U JUST MAY END UP WITH A REALLY GREAT VERY BEAT FRIEND INSTEAD AND THERES ZERO PROBLEMS IN THAT!!!! LOVE YOU DOC! ❤
Oh my God, I'm just like your guest when it comes to sleeping! Good to know I'm not the only one! And thank you saying that thing about some who just can't sleep before 4 or 5 am! It all makes sense now!
Rochester is in Western NY near Buffalo. He definitely struck me as a upstate NYer but I was confused by his like New Jersey look before he started talking. He talks like a Rochester city kid, not the white bread suburbs of Rochester types.
testing the water on Dr. Mike's podcast. I REALLY LIKE JOEY SASSO (minus the Jersey accent) . I sometimes dream that Dr. Mike might conversationally treat me like he does Sam, Hannah Fry, KSI, or any other stranger, the way he treats them. But I'm sure lots of people wish that. Good luck with everything , Dr. Mike. Have a great life.
What’s funny about that theory is I have always been a night person…. I have always also been a protector, security for life. Which goes right in with that theory lol
I hate dating apps. I tried to do it years ago and I hated it. I like being in person and low expectation hang outs. Unfortunately a lot of men in dating apps are legit what Joey says. They're either super arrogant or super loner/creepy/desperate with only a few dudes that are actually just "normal".
Personally, It’s not the ‘I think you’re hot’ comment that makes me think a man is thirsty. It’s the comments that sometimes come after that 😅 .. it’s like bro! I don’t even know you and here you are trying to sext 😂 that’s why I’m no longer on dating apps.
oh god the sleep chrono is such a nigtmare, I for the love of me cant sleep on a schedule, i just cant sleep early, 3 to 6 am is like my go to for sleep, Even if im boarderline passing out i cant fall asleep early, Then having to get up early i often get next to no sleep, I hate it, And yeah i get the same Im lazy i sleep till noon, and its like, I just cant seem to sleep during the night
I listened to this podcast and i have a question or two. A lot of people on these podcasts are in recovery drug addicts. My question is what if you were never an addict of any kind and have anxiety and depression and insomnia. If you don't have any family or social circle, what do you suggest to these people? Yes , I am one of those people.
Tbh I still feel like a man will put a woman into a category "of i can possibly see my life with her" vs "not". If I'm not in that category it won't work out. This is just my observation as a woman in her late 20s. If he doesn't commit in a certain amount of time he doesnt want to. You're picky and this can be good , tbh. You can have someone beautiful and smart. Ive observed you and you might get along with someone who also has extra interests. Like investigative work or something scientific. A man looks for certain things in a wife and this varies from man to man. This is different than having girlfriends. Wives will have certain attributes that are congruent with the man and vise versa. I feel I haven't explained this well. Sorry, haha.
Loving all the podcast episodes. There is always something to learn from each of them. Also you’re waiting for the perfect match? well we should meet one day! Lol sorry just trying to be funny :)
To me Kariselle seemed a bit...fake...? I mean she was easy to manipulate and didn't have her own character... Maybe it's the editing but she seemed like she was fan-girling over Joey 😬
