I accidentally said the same thing twice near the end and forgot to cut it out which makes me look fake. I edited it out but it will take a few hours to process so check it out while u can...I am fake..
You're not fake, and if anything this is the channel where you post mostly unedited raw video anyways yeah? It's kinda like seeing a behind the scenes 👍
drew i loved that part because you said you were editing and everytime you say that i wonder what you edited and i love that i got to see what you edited before it was gone ❤️
I loved it ... felt like the Original *and* the Deluxe version, or the evolution of a joke. A behind-the-scenes look at how some of the things you say (original thoughts) get tweaked when refilming; we get to see what *you* thought was funny enough to keep in, and what you expanded on. I laughed just as hard the second time your little BB whipped his head around when he put the hanger on. Cutting edge, indie comedy.
Literally!! But I think I can say for all of us that really care, we understand why you're taking your time and appreciate you sm even when you're gone 🤍
@@belphiebathtime I’m aware, but parasocial relationships are an unavoidable phenomenon and so if I’m gonna have one it’s better that it’s a) falls under a certain level of self awareness and b) is with a RU-vidr who is more casual in his uploading. Anyway conclusion I know that’s a parasocial relationship but that’s literally unavoidable in this day and age
Drew, I am a nurse...getting ready for my shift. How the HECK....I'm full convinced this channel is just for me & you, hanging out, chatting, like friends do. love u
I was looking to see if there was anyone else who had the same reaction. I kept pushing off watching this video until I had time and I just left my boyfriend of 5 years yesterday💀💀💀
So many laugh-out-loud moments ... you can't *not* be funny organically. It's part of who you are. Thanks for sharing as much of yourself as you do online.
As a nurse going through some relationship problems this intro really got me thinking I was on a call to drew haha. Sending lots of love from the UK drew and to anyone watching 💞
He's also very validating. I watched one of his videos before this one where he mentioned eating pixie stick paper, and when I tell you that was the first time little 5 year old me has felt seen... I wasn't even made fun of for it back then, so it's not like im insecure because I was known as the pixie stick girl until I graduated, but like I literally used to tear the top off and just eat the whole thing like a pickle. The moment I realized that's not how you eat them was when the teacher came around and collected our empty straws, and I just had two paper bits. Like I still feel the shame when she asked me where the rest of my trash was and I told her I ate it....😅😅😅 Drew, thank you for giving me this validation I didn't even know I needed. Also, sorry I keep leaving weird manic comments on your videos, call me back when you can. Okay, talk to you soon. Bye.
im a member of your patreon and saw the other takes …. so proud of you that you’re still posting despite the struggles. don’t feel pressured, it’s okay to take a little time
When you said, or you're a nurse statistically I smiled for the first time today. I'm an RN and the comparison you made of us is spot on! Glad you're back and making videos again P.s. that area of your arm bend is called the anticubital fossa😊.
i think it's fine to thrift even if you don't "need" to. i think it's weird when people spend like $700 at thrift stores or especially when they resell things for way more than the thrift store did, but i think it's good environmentally and it's always good to not support fast fashion
i’m so fucking glad you’re talking about the problem with our mental health care system and specifically psychiatry. I work in the field and I am ready to get out bc the help I and so many people need is just NOT there. what you’re talking about is real.
thrifting is good for the environment and secondhand stores usually have a surplus of clothes. sure, reselling secondhand for a higher price is pretty unethical, but you buying clothes to wear from goodwill isn’t going to cause any issues. it is a good thing!
how is it unethical? everything is resold at a higher price, the phone you’re using right now was made for only a few dollars but would sell for hundreds or thousands brand new. it’s not new for businesses to sell for more than what it was made for/purchased for. so why all the hate for resellers? they’re helping the environment and keeping fashion circular. we should encourage everyone to buy second hand if they can
@@scarab5935 I think it's not the fact that they're second hand but that they're price gauging for something they spent $3 on. It's taking clothes that everyone could consume and making it unaffordable just so someone can turn a profit. Also it takes the act of giving clothes away to be sold cheaply or even freely if given to a clothes donation bin and turning it into something with a less ethical and moral outcome. Idk it just seems kind of scummy to me. I think of used clothes as kind of a library system. I find a cute jacket at goodwill for $5, I wear it until my fashion changes or I find something else, and I donate it again so someone can do the exact same thing. Upcharging used items could eventually lead to people not being able to afford the in fashion clothes at thrift stores and lead them to the very much unethical fast fashion industry.
@@lpshorror99 people don't understand that the price people resell clothes for includes the labour and time that went into sourcing those clothes, as well as packaging and sending them. Like if you want the clothes for cheap, go find them at an op shop yourself, otherwise yes its going to be more expensive but you are paying for the time and energy you save. There is absolutely no shortage of clothes at thrift shops so i have no idea where this scarcity mentality comes from as if resellers are taking all the clothes, over half the clothes end up in landfill so the more that are being saved the better.
I don't think it's unethical to resell for a higher price at ALL. You are spending the gas money, the time, the effort to sift through a ton of junk to curate good pieces. That service has no reason to be free. Packing up things, going to the post office etc is a pain in the ass (and costs more gas...) as well. You should be making a profit or what is the point?
@@lpshorror99 The people who purchase thrift store clothes at a higher price are not the people who want to go to a bunch of thrift stores to find the good pieces. Not everyone can find something good for $3. You have to take the time and effort to go around at the right time and search for it. That takes a lot of time, effort, basically it is a job. So when you're purchasing a $3 for $20 that takes into account the labor/service that person is providing finding the items, driving around, packing them up.......if you wanna go buy your own for $3 nobody is stopping you.
OMG I know what you mean on the medication fatigue dude! I've gone through so many "worst case" scenarios medically, including with meds that just didn't work for me or caused other crap. And the casual flippant doctor talks, it's hard, especially when one tends to ruminate easily. You GOT this Drew!
i think the big problem with people who have money shopping at thrift shore is that they like to take those items away from people who need them and then sell them online for much much more, or just buying out large amounts of clothes that are considered “trendy” from people who need it.
The switching clothes with a roommate who balances out your weight is a hilarious thought I’ve been stressing about weight recently as always I suppose and needed that comedic relief
It’s crazy that Drew says this wasn’t his “best video” because it makes me laugh out loud multiple times whenever I watch it. He constantly validates my feelings and experiences too, I always feel better after watching his videos
I’ve been waking up at 5pm and feeling shitty, and waking up to this made me feel so much better. I missed you. Also this is one of my favorite 2nd channel videos. My mom and I watch these together and crack up. Your son working at CPS was a big hit in my living room.
I was having a really bad panic attack after I came out to my parents as a trans man and my partner reminded me that I was thinking of the worst case scenarios because it was late. They said "hey, remember that tweet? anything past 9pm you can't trust form yourself". talk about lifesaving, I'm not even kidding. I use that now to guide me, like it's weird to say that about a Tweet but also because it makes me think of your videos it's pretty cool. okay word vomit over now, thanks Drew lol 💜
Drew when you asked “is anyone even laughing” yes, yes I am. You always make me giggle! I’ve been watching you for a while and I’ve always loved your goofy, random sense of humor. Keep it up! We all miss you when you’re gone
I admire your honesty and vulnerability. I am so thankful to you for allowing others to witness your highs and lows and who you are through your mental health journey. I truly believe that we need more people like you in this world. Love ya ❤
You explain concepts so dear to me yet impossible to put into words. Creation envy, childhood nostalgia, etc… so comforting to know I’m not alone in fighting these demons. Thank you Drew.
watching your videos really help me when I feel down/ struggle with depression. There's something about your videos that really feel like you're genuinely chatting with a friend which is so helpful :)
You trying and posting makes me want to try more myself so maybe even tho you feel like there’s not enough recognition just know that many of us know that feeling and feel v much supported and understood
Thank you for posting today. My cat escaped and has been gone for nearly 24 hours now. I’ve never had to deal with this before because he’s my first cat. He’s the only reason I never committed unalive so if anything happens to him, idk what I’d do… I just got home from searching the whole entire neighborhood multiple times. It’s really hot outside so I hope he’ll be back when the sun sets. Anyway this is a great distraction to keep me from assuming the worst so thank you
I’m so sorry, i know the feeling, mine has escaped for up to a few days at a time and every time it feels so scary and final. But as cute and small and delicate as we think they are, they’re cats, they know what they’re doing. I know its scary but i can almost guarantee you he’ll come home soon. They’re just little rascals like that sometimes :)
With the heat hes probably just hiding in the shade all day and it's making it take longer to come home (: every time our cats have gotten out in summer, they always come home and travel more at night. Takes awhile though. Makes sense I guess. Maybe your cat will bring home little treats for you! (Like birds and sticks!) They usually know how to hold their own
for some reason the dollar thing was the most relatable thing you’ve ever said in my opinion. i think assigning feelings to inanimate objects is an OCD thing… but idk because i am also only kinda diagnosed.. i could totally be making up a fake symptom
i am constantly shocked and amazed at how often what you say matches exactly what i’ve thought about something. and you often say it in a funnier way. every video i randomly click on of yours, even this one that was posted a year ago, hits jarringly at home and remains true as time goes by. from the lil jokes to the psychiatry discussion, it forever feels special and true
15:45 this is something I’ve never heard someone else talk about this like the constant cycle of medication and how every time all they do is up the dose or add something new and it just feels like they aren’t talking to u like ur a person but like how it’s just kinda the nature of the beast
The fact that Drew can be this clever funny organicly feeling not greate is increadible for me. Saying jokes that standup comedians wished they could make up wrtiting their shows for weeks and weeks at the office. When they would came u with joke about lady's shirt at the urgent care they would milk that bad boy for a few years
On my 4th rewatch. These videos are so tangential that I can never recall everything, which is nice bc I can get so many plays out of one upload. I still miss you though, the experience of watching one knowing you just uploaded is different.
AND yes, i feel you a lot... i try so hard for so many things my art, hobbies, or just in general, and they just hardly end up working out, its hard to keep motivated when i don't get recognition for what i do. call it selfish but i want a little recognition. i love what i do and i want others to appreciate it, but it feels like im casting a bottle out to see with a written message every time i put something out there. 100% i want proof too.
i don't think i've ever related to anything more than I relate to 33:57 - 34:26 just like yeah it is crazy when that happens and it's happening right now actually i can't think too much about this right now because i'm not seeing my psychiatrist for a few more weeks but he will be seeing this. thank you a lot for making things and sharing them. i really really love the things you create
Just want you to know that you are one of the only reasons I still come back to RU-vid. I don’t watch it much anymore because not many peoples videos interest me. I log back in most of the time to see if you’ve posted 🤷🏻♀️. P.S. 1:30 I am a nurse!! Good assumption. P.S. the opposite elbow is called the antecubital fossa or ACF xx
Watching you makes me feel like I have a friend to talk with in person and I used this video to calm my anxiety down while waiting for this lady to come to my house who is gonna eventually help me sign up for Disability. I have bad social anxiety and I’m really nervous. So thank you because this calmed me down a lot.
i think the thing about the thrift stores is when they go in and buy EVERYTHING good and then just resell it at insane prices even though they don’t really need it. esp because it’s a common thing rich youtuber girlies do. and i mean the preverbal girlies
I literally love drew so much protect him at all costs. I've watched this guy since i was like 12? And I'm the same age as him. Always loved him always will! Never change! Literally the only person I'd care to actually go to a meet and greet to meet the man himself
It's always good to buy resold clothes second-hand and they are much cheaper than retail clothes and buying retail supports fast fashion most of the time. Goodwill and other thrift store are a resource for lower-income people, but its okay for anyone to buy from those regardless of income status. The issue is with upper-class teenagers buying a bunch of clothes from Goodwill and then reselling them for a little less than retail prices online to other upper-class teenagers. As long as you're buying clothes or other items for yourself without intent to profit you're fine.
Drew is the personification of the voices in my head. Listening to him ramble actually is therapeutic for me because he is so relatable that these videos feel almost like group therapy. Do you guys have like a conversation back with him in your head or are you normal? 😜👍
drew you are so funny, i was just telling my husband yesterday that you haven’t posted a video i a couple weeks and was wondering how you were doing. we always rewatch your videos when having dinner and you just so happened to post another one as we were sitting down!! we are only halfway, but him and i have been lol (laughing out loud) we missed you drew!
something about this vid in particular, drew your so composed, calm and collected, yet still holding true to the you we always see in your videos. something about it is asmr
I swear I rewatch his videos like a comfort show. I guess my comfort RU-vid show. When I’m feeling particularly manic instead of listening to my intrusive thoughts I listen to this LMAO.
I totally understand the medication thing. I’ll mention my insomnia or ocd or something casually and I’ll get the response “you should see someone and take (a,b,c medication)” and it’s like… I’m fully traumatized from being through all of that before. It’s like they’re saying “hey, that sounds like a problem that you should potentially make a hell of a lot worse by putting your life on the line with mind alternating substances given to you by someone who has zero attachment to you or your life and livelihood.. again!”
i really felt you with the medicine phobia and weird experiences with doctors and ESPECIALLY while still being on medicine! it feels nice to hear you talk about it
These videos are so comforting to watch, I’ll never feel alone so long as I can watch your videos- old and new. (talk about parasocial relationships (*nervous laughter*)).
I haven’t had much time to continuously browse on everyone I follow videos so I’m sorry for not being around or watching enough. Love you. Miss you! ❤️
When I watch these I honestly feel like you’re the only person who fully understands how my mind works. Drew, by being your true authentic self and sharing your vulnerable thoughts you make me (and I’m sure many others) feel seen. What you’re doing on here means something, and it matters. Your vulnerability is a gift.
I really hope you’re okay. I’m just sensitive because I have an eating disorder but I just hope you’re not struggling. Sorry if this is weird and out of line
this is one of my favorite communities it’s so wholesome how everyone can relate to each other’s struggles in a similar way without the misjudgment. it’s been a hard week at this new job i just started and Drew is audibly getting me through my shift
hi everyone watching this!! I talk more about bad videos and bo burn ham beef on patreon.com/drewmonson ALSO stay tuned all the way through bc I discuss my tweet being stolen and ALSO did you miss me? be real. if you didnt, just say it. if at least 9 people say they didnt misss, ill know that those who said they did miss me werent lying. does that make sense? I felt bad again for like 10 days straight and feel a bit better, love drew
I’m literally scraping through my RU-vid recs and clicked on your notif right away. I missed you. When you’re gone I have to watch jubilee videos. So please know you’re sparing me and others everytime you post.
I love the smirk 😏 when you say these are the people that tell us that we are entitled. When they’re the ones entitled!!! It makes me so furious and frustrated
Here’s my over analyzing of the idea of adopting vs buying a dog if you want to read it because it was interesting to me. I think it’s the same premise as why wouldn’t you adopt the very old dog or a dog with a disability to be an even better person because those are least likely to be adopted. If someones motivation in getting a dog is generally to have something cute to keep them company even when adopting, majority of people will choose a cute puppy over an old dog with one eye. Both lives are of equal value but ultimately the adopter will have to decide on one based on what they want. So I think the same applies for buying dogs. Ultimately if you want to get a dog because your motivation is to have a specific breed, then of course you will go out of your way to purchase it because otherwise you just wouldn’t get a dog. It’s not necessarily a choice of buy or adopt because sometimes wanting a specific puppy breed is the owners only motivation in getting a dog, not to give a dog a home. It’s similar to how we should all be adopting children but most people don’t as their motivation in having a child isn’t solely giving a child a home. I don’t think that gives someone bad character necessarily. Just my thoughts also keep up the great videos.
the white noise is giving me peak asmr accidental vibes its like talking to your best friend buttheyre accidentally putting you to sleep and you feel guilty for falling asleep but theyre the ones making you sleepy
What you mention toward the end about blaming the thing that you made noise on for making noise reminded me of when I was a kid, because I once stabbed my hand really hard with a sharp pencil and angrily blamed the pencil for hurting me.
Drew, I don’t know if you realize how talented you are and how effortless you make everything seem. I haven’t found another person that touches my heart or makes me laugh the way you do, it’s truly incredible. I believe they call it GOAT status as the kids say. 😆 Every video and song you make is a masterpiece. I mean that with all my heart ♥️
You’re soo naturally funny and I love the bits you do that sidetracks from the point you were previously making. My arm hurts from the tattoo I just got but this video helped distract me from the pain :,)
Drew, you have to start asking yourself questions that will heal the unhealthy versions of you. These videos may be coercing you to continue certain thought patterns that exacerbate your anxiety or prevent you from stepping back at least to view your thoughts objectively and sit with the emotions they bring and working through them since you speak every thought. That's my guess. Ily!! 🙃
i love watching when u do decide to post but dont ever feel pressured to! and also i relate exrtremely about feeling both depressed and erratic i woke up at 1:30 am to clean my room and put away my laundry last night and haven't gone back to sleep sense like ?~?!? make it make sense
It's completely okay to shop at thrift stores no matter how much money you have. The US produces so much more clothing waste than gets sold at thrift stores it's staggering. It gets shipped to the 3rd world and sold there or, increasingly, just gets trashed or burned. Anyone making it a class issue is being ridiculous.
