Thanks Joey, my girlfriend just died the day after Christmas and life doesn’t feel the same without her. She had a rough life and things were turning around but everyday is a new day and she would’ve wanted me to stay strong for her. Happy new year everyone, take care of yourselves
You are not alone brother. Yes, we must take care of ourselves. It's crazy what we do to ourselves when we would never inflict these things on our friends or children. So many of us are our own worst enemies.
*I remember spending christmas and new years in county jail because a rookie cop decided he was making a difference by taking me in for a joint i had in my car. All the while my mother was dealing with terminal spinal cancer. It was the worst month and rather holiday of my life knowing my only love could die any day, while im stuck in a shithole jail with crooked violent jailers.* Im glad to say thursday January 23rd 2020, my mother is in remission from stage 4 cancer im beyond blessed to be here with her, and as uncle joey said be grateful for who and what you have 💙
"You're never really alone on Xmas unless you want to be, somebody always reaxhes out" Coco says...but that's his opinion and definitely not a fact. I've spent 3 in a row all alone and it sure as fuck isn't bc I want to. I'm a 46 year old man whose family is all gone, enduring it for as long as I can.
@@StonagePwnage There is no such thing as a fan channel. If someone claims that they are a fan channel, he is not, he is ripping money from podcasters that he claims to be a fan of. "Clips" channels are made by original podcasters like "Joe Rogan clips" and others, for people who just want to listen to a little segment of the podcast, not the whole 2 hours. Plus, its an extra revenue, this channel gets roughly 5-6 mil views in a month, that's like +$20,000 up a month at the very least.
@@StonagePwnage Dude, I get around 50,000 views a month and I make a couple of hundred dollars. You just don't know how RU-vid monetization works. 1 mil views get you $2k at the very least, but Joey has many +10 minute videos which are money-makers. For 5-6m views, Joey is getting at least $20k a month.
I just beat heroin addiction a year ago and I'm still sleeping on the floor but I'm clean and about to land a state job with full benefits and great pay. Never give up.
@@charliestone892 try kratom bro... in my experience, going from heavy narcotics, and drinking 10 grams of kratom every 12 hours for 1 week, really turns the narcotic withdrawal from a 12 to a 2... then start weening the kratom doses down for another week, and then after 2 weeks with 0 pharmaceuticals the kratom withdrawal is like having a common cold. You can do it bro, just get the "maeng da" if you can or any strain you can get your hands on. The shit works, trust me! And make sure you got a couple ibuprofen and tums for when you go cold turkey, they help a lot with the insomnia and aching joints. There's no possible way to do it pain free but just remember it's mind over matter.... if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Good luck in 2020
@@abtwopoint0 hey I appreciate that..sombody about a year ago had recommended kratom but never really gave me a dosing schedule like u just did.i will definitely be looking into it.thanks again
I'm going through rough times right now. This podcast has been helpful in so many ways. I'm not only thankful for this podcast and uncle joey but also for the church family as well. If you're reading this comment, I consider you family.
Thanks for this Joey , I’ve had a tuff life (watched brother and my fiancée die,abused as a kid etc) this made me look at the positive in life and helped me be a greatfull person. Thanks you are a blessing
Thanks these bad things and down years have prepared me for something in life . It’s been very difficult lately butI keep helping others and trying to live positive no matter what happens .
Life is always rough for those who dont have the money to make their life balance out, joey. Especially at christmas when they cant even buy themselves a gift.
My 2nd xmas clean and sober after wasting 20 years.I use to hate this time of year but this year I felt excitement like I did as a kid. Yours and rogan's podcasts have helped me more than u will ever know.I wish you all the best thank you
Tom Matter one day at a time brother if you slip god forbid don’t waste time get back on the horse and go in and say I got one day back DONT let pride get in the way of your recovery and don’t let anyone tell you anything about yourself you only matter
I’m a recovering heroin addict 3 years off drugs, and I’m trying to find my way. I still feel empty sometimes, but I really appreciate this video. It meant something to me
Congrats. How did you get off? I have a friend who is an heroin addict and he doesn't know I know (I found out through a mutual friend) and I want to help him somehow
@Michael Let me be clear.. in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM was I gonna let him know that I know. Hell no. I just want to help somehow because he is a good man but I don't want him to feel like it's a intervention or something
Spent Christmas at a Denny’s on the road in the middle of nowhere a few days ago because it was the only thing open, but I’m also glad I’m out living my dream and not wasting away in the town I grew up in.
You help me get through a lot joey. I'm disabled and don't have any friends outside of BJJ, I am content with my herb and coffee and uncle Joey podcasts. You make me feel better about myself. Just because I have a brain injury, I have to remind myself that the road keeps going and every day is a blessing and a surprise.
If you’re trying to say his name more Hispanic like just because he’s Cuban then why don’t you use his actual name too. It’s Jose, I think Jose sounds more Spanish than Joey but idk 🤷🏿♀️
Likewise. I turned 31 this year and never imagined a number would effect me so much... the whole family is so much older now too, just gotta stay strong my friend. Good luck in 2020
Thank you Uncle Joey. I needed to hear this. Today new years eve 2019, my dog I've been with for 14 years... he was not well the last few days, and he went downhill overnight, so this morning, I took him to the vet and had to put him down. My heart is broken. Life can really kick you at the worst possible time. RIP my sweet buddy Bear.
Watching this made me almost shed a tear bru my mom kicked me out for Christmas for defending myself and punching her abusive bf and had nowhere to go until my friends and grandma invited me for Christmas.
For years, YEARS, after my mother passed on, Christmas was my most loathed time of the year. But Joe is right, it kinda....actually now that i'm thinking about it. maybe "it" didn't getter better. maybe i just got a little stronger. dudes, hang in there, shit times will pass
I grew up in a trailer park, and I didn't give a flying fuck about recieving presents, all I cared about was my plate of turkey and spending a good time with my family
God bless you Joey. But for some of us CHRISTMAS IS DEAD. Christmas is a time when you realize that some people have no heart. Not even a thought about you, that you're alone, maybe give a call to see how you doin , check if you're ok etc etc. I now understand why this is suicide season. In the end nobody gives a fuck about anything outside themselves. No reaching out at all. This one hurt! Lol Thanks for the podcast message. Sorry for the negative rant. Happy Holidays to all. Enjoy your family and friends if you're fortunate enough to have some. Love 2 all
Joey and this podcast is so great. From anything to his kind heart U see in this clip... too the craziest f*kn stories that will blow Ur Mind. Thank U JOE ROGAN. without U introducing me to Coco on your pods... I could of missed out on one of the funniest yet wisest and most real mean on this earth. Thanks guys for what you do 💙🖤 U really do reach out the the ppl who are finding this time of year so so hard. And teach us a lot! We have all been there... we all have tough times And this Hit home, thanks Mr Diaz.... do not EVER change. We all 💖 U (and Lee) dearly. Hahaha xxx 😘 big love man!!! 🤘✊💪 Keep it up.....PS: U Rogan and whoever else Uz can convince shld probably tour Australia tgether ha 😉
Joey, we appreciate you. I know you're a busy man and will never get a personal response from you but I wanted you to know, that I am going through some very rough and dark days, I have been unemployed for almost 2 years, I'm broke and in debt and had some bad news over the holidays. I am however hanging in there and your podcasts are amazing and always put a smile on my face and cheer me up! Thank you Joey
“You’re never really alone on Christmas, unless you really wanna be”... fuck that hits deep. Just skipped Christmas with my family to hit a bottle and lay in bed. It’s hard going to see your family who’s all doing great and your a sack of shit barely getting by in life.
It's odd how I feel Joey would relate to the shit I've been through more than others around me. But I also have my own stories and experiences that 99% of people never go through. Uncommon. My point is after maybe 11-12 we stopped with celebrations. It was maybe a dinner and that's it. And I'm grateful to have had my single mom bust her ass to put food on the table for me and my brother, but growing up in the US as a kid made me believe things were always gonna be a certain way. I saw it around me. Christmas trees, presents, etc. And we grew up broke and my mom was left in the US without knowing English and my dad arrested then deported. After all the years of grinding and hearing my mom cry in her room, for what? For us to have to leave because our time was up. We got the letter. Most stay illegally until they become legal but my mom was scared and sent us back to Colombia. The defeat she felt, that she told me years later... unbelievable. She had to return to Colombia with nearly nothing. Sold everything, worked a year after we left so she could save up something. After that we moved around Europe with family helping wherever they lived. Keep in mind, the majority of my life I've grown up in other homes. Never in our own. It was tough. Even until recently. Like, we aren't great but we're better now. We all moved out and live ok but yeah. It's tough. And not having roots and moving around, sucks. This time of year it's about seeing everyone celebrating and reminding me of poverty. Reminds me I don't have a home like others with a family sharing presents. I never did that really. And now with shit like getting evicted during Christmas just makes me think about it. I don't think I'll ever kill myself but thoughts happen. I rationalize why it can't happen but what's the next best thing? Intoxicated so you forget in the moment and get high enough to pass out and live another day. It sucks. Some days are great and others are shit. Mostly mediocre days. Barely any motivation or drive. Tired. I just want a break. And I mean a huge opportunity to change my life. But if I don't work towards it, it won't ever come. So here I sit like a dumbass. Part of it my fault, no doubt. This time is almost over. New years happened. I decided to go to a party against all my will. I thought of what Joey said here. Fuck it. Just go. What's the worst that can happen? It's boring? Well yeah, that happened. But the worst me being alone in my room? More depression. But honestly, I've been depressed before for around 5 years. Diagnosed professionally, not some "oh I'm sad today" shit. I mean in my room every day and night. And I don't wanna go back to that. It scares the shit outta me. If I ever go back, I'll end up killing myself this time.
Ice Kold Killa hey parceh thanks for sharing your story. I’m sorry it was so rough. God bless your mom and brother. Hope things turn around for the best, for you! Keep your head up. Your day will come and you will win.
Couple weeks late but still relevant. Just been robbed and feeling pretty shit but watching Joey reminds me to stay positive and optimistic, life can and will get better
Hey Joey just a dago from Baltimore here and I would like to say thank you for this clip. I was in prison for 21 straight years and Christmas was just another day in the joint besides a slice of apple pie they would throw on our plate when it came out the window in the chow line. Now that I've been home for three years I realized the people that kept my family together especially on holidays are all gone and in the ground and it never felt the same again on Christmas. But the good advice was if someone invites you, go... You'll be glad that you did afterwards. I love you brother and our lives are so paralleled together it's mind blowing. Thank you for getting your shit together or I would have never known who you were. At 46 years old I find myself still trying to get there man. Molte grazie paesan. P.S. 1994 was the last year I was on the streets and it was the last Christmas I celebrated at home with my family. I too will never forget that year or that last Xmas. Ciao.
Joey.. we have so much in common. I appreciate you more than I can say! I'm a comedian, artist, musician, creator, wild life guide...coke addict... alcoholic... the love of my life was shot in the face last Christmas and I've come to fear the sun.. I want to be seen so bad... comedy saves me every fucking day and I want to connect with you. So much. Nuff love Uncle Joey!!! xxxo ❤
Uncle Joey, listening to you for 5 years, whether on your podcast or Joe’s, T H A N K S for sharing! Holidays are hard 4 me, and listening to you makes it B E T T E R! Love you kid...
Joey D I lost my mom and my brother, all my cousins, most of My closest friends are dead from suicide and overdose. This podcast hit home for me. You know what I did yesterday for new year's Eve? I went to bed at 7 in the afternoon and slept through the whole thing. Christmas day seemed like any other day but I'm still here. Thanks for your time. I think that you are great.
This podcast really helped me uncle Joey. I’m a classic case. The youngest in the family. Natural black sheep. My brother and sister both just had twins maybe 6 months apart. Now an uncle of 7 at 25, I’m surrounded by children and family members, but it’s almost more lonely now then it was before all the kids. I have no kids, no fiancé, and just dropped my core buddies over morality issues a few years ago. Really on my own right now, but I’m a tough Buffalo NY guy. I can handle the isolation, but it’ll be nice when I working and living on my own. Can’t wait for a better life a head of me. Happy New Years fellas.
25 is still so young. You have plenty of time dude, just try and stay positive and remember you can't change your life around in a few weeks. It takes time and hard work with periods in between which will be tough. Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Good luck!!
1984ioc I appreciate reading such optimism on the internet. I was expecting to get shamed by boomer comments about getting a job etc. thanks for understanding the struggle my guy. It’s well appreciated. Bringing in the New Year with some positivity is something I can appreciate. Happy New Year!
My family all got into a bunch of fights a couple years back and Christmas use to be 40-50+ of us now it's around 20 and it's shitty in comparison to what we once had but I get what Joey means when he says Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas anymore.
Thanks, Joey and Lee for some of us you're the closest thing to a family as we have. It's a tough time of the year for a lot of people. This is my second sober holiday season and its a lot easier to not miss having anyone when you're fucked up. But if I do get to the point of having family or a GOOD LIFE again I will be the guy inviting others over I promise you this.
Thank you so much for this. I don't normally comment on youtube but i was so moved by your words... as someone really going through it , this one really resonated with me and is making me shift my perspective. Much love and respect Uncle Joey. Love all your videos
I absolutely need to listen to Joey Diaz podcast at least every 2-3 days at this point. The way my mind and actions have changed in this last year just by finding “The Church” is such a blessing ive never felt happier in my life. Thank U so much Uncle Joe, Happy New Years and to many many more.
I lost 3 parents and 3 siblings in the last year and u know Joey I spent Christmas alone and not crying feeling sorry for myself, but being grateful for the time allotted to me getting to love some of the best people I've ever met! I miss my moms too bad this year being all the firsts without them. You're right it was a choice but I needed to just be allowed to feel the tremendous loss of love not only given but that's been so freely returned!
Amen 🙏🏻 Pussy.

Thanks Joey, there is no year where the emptiness doesn’t come for me during these dates , every year it gets harder . I think the only thing keeping me here is that my parents are still here and it would be too hard for them , I am so tired
Thankyou for joey,and this podcast... I had a Christmas alone this year..and he’s so right about getting out of the house...,I’ve had that Christmas of looking at strangers round the dinner table but felt guilty for their kindness ..I even had a similar situation with a sibling ..it’s like the universe made me watch this podcast,and joeys advice is spot on ..made me realise stuff...but also made me realise it’s never to late to move on,meet someone else ,and have a happy family... and I don’t wanna sound like a freak but somebody even got me a ticket to a football game..
Man Joey thank you. I lost my dad 8 years ago Jan and my mom on the December 13th. The last year she was declining. I just wanna say thanks for your positive attitude and everything. This year sucked but I feel like if I stay positive and keep moving good things should happen. I hope anyways
Joey Diaz is the realest, even when you going through hard times its good to hear from someone who went through hard times and reminds you that you will get through it

How does Uncle Joey only have 239k subscribers????. I've seen some really useless, boring channels have 10x that on RU-vid. Subscribe to this man!!!! He's the Uncle you wish you had!! Trust me!!!!
I'm where i wanted to be. Alone and half dead. Working 6 days in a row, entertaining thousands, facing music, It's no one's fault it's Personal Vietnam, fuck it. . Still hopeful, listening to the OG...clear headed...alive...it's possible....Thank you.
“It’s not Christmas Day for some people” this hit me Joey. I have a pretty decent sized family, siblings all have kids. I haven’t found the one yet. Everyone plans holidays before or after the actual holidays. So I’m stuck upstairs in my head thinking what have I done that is so horrible to be alone. But growing up we had it all, the decorations outside, mini figurine village set up inside, bubble lights on the tree. And ALL our family was there. It just doesn’t feel like it did back then, like we’re missing something these days. All everyone wants to do anymore is look at their phone. We only see each other about 5 times a year. I haven’t had a meaningful conversation with my nieces and nephews in quite a while now. I want to but everyone seems disinterested like their time could be spent scrolling. I just miss feeling like a family. It makes me sad to think at this rate I’ll see them about 100 more times in my life and that’s it. Just wanted to get this off my chest. I wouldn’t want anything else for Christmas BUT to sit down and enjoy a card game again and just be there instead of being there but not.
