This was the best comedian interview ever. He explains anxiety better than I’ve ever heard. He’s a true comedian, as in he’s just naturally funny. Great storyteller as I could imagine everything he said, as he said it. His whole story should be made into a movie, starring him.
The amount of money he lost on renovating then selling the house, he could have built a bagel shed in the backyard and hired an old school Jew from Queens to bake the bagels every morning for like the next 5 years.

this episode really hit me. theres just something about chris that just clicks with me and joe talking about it honestlly helped me reconsider everything. Thank you joe
Chris is definitely one if my favorite guests on here. He makes my stomach hurt from laughing so hard, and the way he talks about his anxiety brings me comfort as someone who also has anxiety. Great episode
Broooo fuckn aye, it's 7am, just woke up, tryna enjoy this muffin n cup of tea. I'm legit about to throw myself head first out my 2 floor apartment window holy shit he's bat shit crazy
I would love to have a conversation with Chris I have a similar mind set with success and anxiety I have yet to best it and crazy enough I talk at a similar speed.
Self-doubt and the feeling of being constantly incorrect in one's thoughts and actions can severely undermine one's life. I hope he finds peace and overcomes this challenging phase.
He makes impulsive financial decisions costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and plies his addict family members with cash for drugs. A healthy dose of self-doubt is exactly what this guy needed.

But by all means it’s not making your family leave a nice house to go live in a roach infested apartment so that you can be closer to a bagel shop and not realizing there was one a block away 😂

me and him kind of have the same exp l. First time I did it I was 14 also and did the same move. Only dof was somehow a girl that was also 14 had the clap and gave it to me (I live in Baltimore so... Ya know....) and that screwed me up for a long time. If I kissed a girl and a pimple showed around my mouth I would hyperventilate in the bathroom and tear up thinking I caught something. And would tell no one about my thoughts and pray it went away. Lol which herps would go away so don't know what that would prove lol. But yea. But it stopped me from being a man hoe. @@markrennie86
I can’t comment enough what a great guy Chrissy is man he is just so genuine and honest I love how he loves his parents and especially the way he talks about his dad is awesome! He has inspired me many times when talking about his dad for me to be the best dad regardless of any mistakes made. Thank you Joe for having min on. Chris if you are reading this ,.. I promise you that you are your kids hero!! I bet they absolutely adore you! Just keep being you and your gonna be the best part of their world!
@@matthewghardy It does.... if you pay for premium 😑 I just got a free trial of Premium, and I'll be honest, it is a game changer. Plus no ads. Im still on the fence on whether or not I want to pay for yet another streaming service...
I absolutely loved this episode. I have been thinking about it days after listening to it. Chris is so damn funny, honest, and authentic. It's refreshing to see a man talk openly about the complexities of being human. So many other people (myself included) have a brain that's just as active. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are so awesome, Chris! And now I want to eat lasagna with you and your Dad.
Chris, if you read this, I had THE EXACT SAME kind of anxiety as you. After years of hell I finally got diagnosed with ocd. Didn’t change my obsessive thoughts but, taught me how to manage it. Look into that
My girlfriend has diagnosed OCD. Intrusive thoughts. And it's been the weirdest thing I've experienced. We've been together 5 years. And I still don't believe I've met and know the real version of who she is. Cause she's so involved with every single thought she has she doesn't have time to live in the moment and just be. Or at the very most those times are very few and not for long.
Nah. He definitely needs to be diagnosed by an actual medical professional but at 50:21 Chris is explaining to a T what "Health Anxiety" or "Hypochondriac Disorder" is. It's no joke. Normal body feelings like a headache or a stomach ache or dizziness can send you into a full blown panic attack. The real kind, where you truly believe you're dying. I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia and eventually developed Health Anxiety. I didn't leave my house for more than 2 years, from 2021 to 2023. For him it could be any number of things, he catastrophizes. That's a symptom of many different conditions. He for sure needs more than a therapist though, I tried a lot of medications, which works great for a lot of people but not me. Ended up with a psychologist (A therapist will a "real" degree) and a psychiatrist.
I've loved Chris for a couple years now but him being so vulnerable and sharing his up's and down's on such a huge platform makes me respect and love him so much more.
Chris is a good man very funny and I feel the pain he gets from anxiety i suffer from it too but joe really is a good host and a great friend caring for him great podcast!
Comparison is the thief of joy, Chrissy. You do you man. You’re killin it. Take care of you and your family and that’s all you need my man. You’re the best
At first i felt empathy towards him at the end i was like what a fucking selfish bastard for making his kids go through that just because he can’t stop being a man child
Chris, I myself suffered from the same kind of anxiety you have my whole life, and finally learned how to control it at 30 years old. But the way you described it is literally how I would have described it myself. God speed my friend.
Who would have thought Chris Distefano would have had one of the best JRE’s in a long time. He may not be the #1 comic out there, but he seems like such a genuinely good dude. This pod was just two dudes having a real conversation, sharing real experiences. I found a new respect and appreciation for Chrissy. lol
That was an essential podcast. Loved it. Not just some lighthearted fun, but essential life-stuff. This kind of talk, to a mentor or a friend is often much more helpful than talking to a therapist. Probably helped Chris more than anything else. "The mind of Intelligent, driven people is a powerful tool, that, when not pointed at something else and used sufficiently, will turn onto oneself. " And also I seldom heard Joe laugh that as hard las at Chris' bombing-story. I was crying laughing.
It would be super interesting to have Lee strobal the author of the CASE FOR CHRIST book he was talking about on, especially since he use to be a hardcore atheist.
@@SamferdI just commented this man,… joe is full of all these reasons why Christianity isn’t truth, yet never has he had ANY Christian theologian or apologist. I don’t think it’s genuine of him to use these lame counter points when he could easily get a Christian apologist on,… why is that 🧐
If the roles were reversed and it was a 21 year old man doing that to a 13 year old girl, fathers would want that dude's head on a pike! See men and women are different.
I LOVE HIM! Chris is interesting, entertaining, and comforting to listen to. I love how compassionate Joe is with him here. This whole episode is helpful explaining how one's struggles with anxiety manifest in daily life. I'm so glad Joe brought up Abigail to Chris and how obsessing about our problems doesnt help- it actually makes things worse. I've learned this is VERY true. CBT really works! The book FEELING GOOD by Dr. David D. Burns is great! Even some woo woo versions such as the The Secret by Rhonda Byrne can really help people depending on what they relate to most.

chrissy thank you for talking about this. I’ve been experiencing similar feelings and i needed to hear that I’m not the only one so thank you this made me feel better.
Man that first 20 minutes was intense. I think I could feel Chrissy's energy on his podcasts the last few months or longer cuz I haven't been excited to watch his podcasts like I usually been. I been a fan since History Hyenas and I'll always be a fan. I low-key started feeling really bad for Chris when he was talking about the self sabotage. It made me sad and I felt for him when he said he hurt his family. I'm glad he was able to figure it out tho and not go completely off the deep end. Maybe I should start watching his podcasts again lol. Love u Chrissy, if you see this, stop reading the comments! Lol
yeah i have done prev- he's cool but also has this stuff going on in his mind too - so they say dont meet ur heroes etc hes not a hero but u know - so i guess ppl we like/celebrities are kl for their art/work BUT the identity /personality can come undone and appear not so shiny etc that we see them for on stage/on screen - seen??
Honestly one of my favourite podcasts, two very different men explaining some of their many approaches to life. Super chill, I feel like these 2 gotta be bffs now 😅
You are so patient and generous with Chris, such a good friend. I'm back in. You gotta good heart, Joe. Chrissy keeps walking himself back into his demons and darkness even though he says he's well and and believes the good stuff and takes your advice for two minutes, for two minutes then he's right back in. He's def leans into it. It's his drug, his anxiety. He can't part with it - it's like his baby blanket. I hope the best for him - he needs you man - U are good Friend.
This dude needs to find out having a family and being gay are not mutually exclusive. There was a show about gay catholic dads on tlc years ago, it only lasted one episode, and it was insane.
Yeah, he’s Chrissy Imposters for sure. I thought it was crazy when he was talking about downsizing after spending millions upsizing, but I would probably spazz out also.
I find this guy super relatable. Sounds like he has OCD? He worries a lot and his thoughts move quickly and I kinda understand this dudes energy. I was dx w adhd at 19 and he kinda reminds me of how my brain works.
Sure we all have these tendencies. Part of what makes it so annoying is the belief that only he is unique in dealing with these things with a total disregard for the audience or respect for even worse struggles (aka gratitude) he has a great life but can't see it, because of self-absorbed ego, he might even be a drag on people who have it worse than he does
around an hour and twenty minutes in Joe is breaking down some entry level mma stuff for Chris and it reminds me why I keep coming back to this podcast man. Joe is really just having real conversations most episodes it feels like. Chris was interested in getting into mma and Joe was sharing some wisdom and it all felt and sounded real.
"Do you have friends you can talk to?"
"Yeah, but they call me gay" 😂😂😂
He stole that joke from Yannis who used to say it on History Hyenas, 6 years ago
Good friends 👍
No wonder they do hes trans
They kinda have a point
I lost it when i heard that.
5 minutes into this and I can fully understand why his family is so stressed out

Again, I apreciate Chris opening up the way he did.
Best of luck.
This feels like it should’ve been a private conversation between a guy having a panic attack and his friend who’s just there for emotional support lol
THAT'S CHRISSY CHAOS BABYYYYYY :D
Those are called 'fight companions'
me and him kind of have the same exp l. First time I did it I was 14 also and did the same move. Only dof was somehow a girl that was also 14 had the clap and gave it to me (I live in Baltimore so... Ya know....) and that screwed me up for a long time. If I kissed a girl and a pimple showed around my mouth I would hyperventilate in the bathroom and tear up thinking I caught something. And would tell no one about my thoughts and pray it went away. Lol which herps would go away so don't know what that would prove lol. But yea. But it stopped me from being a man hoe. @@markrennie86
His friends call him gay tho
They're not friends lol
Sounds like a therapy session which I think is a good thing … Joe is a good listener and very supportive
I can’t comment enough what a great guy Chrissy is man he is just so genuine and honest I love how he loves his parents and especially the way he talks about his dad is awesome! He has inspired me many times when talking about his dad for me to be the best dad regardless of any mistakes made. Thank you Joe for having min on.
Chris if you are reading this ,.. I promise you that you are your kids hero!! I bet they absolutely adore you! Just keep being you and your gonna be the best part of their world!
Its good having full episodes here again. I hate Spotify
Fr, bad ui
If TH-cam played in background with screen off, Spotify would be gone.
@@matthewghardy It does.... if you pay for premium 😑 I just got a free trial of Premium, and I'll be honest, it is a game changer. Plus no ads. Im still on the fence on whether or not I want to pay for yet another streaming service...

Honestly one of my fav guests! This and the last Chrissy D episode! Gems
I was having a lot of anxiety the past few days. Listening to this I feel better I’m not even on the same boat as this guy.
😂 Gotta love the internet! Lol
Same
“Can I have those edibles?” After all that just killed me!
I would have told him to have them all 😂
Guy needs to let off the gas
😂😂😂 had me dying!! I was waiting for the hand off
“Yeah, but they call me gay” 😭😭
Lmao I'm one of those friends. This reminds me of my mates A.D.D diagnosis in his 30s
Seriously ppl need to stop with the bs victim mentality. Just talk about it and move on quit being gay
Typical dude friendship lol we are the best and worst
Not even gay dudes could tolerate this guy’s gayness. The gayest of gay fairy’s has more macho manly testosterone then Chrissy
“Can’t I have those edibles” idk why that shit had me cracking up
I absolutely loved this episode. I have been thinking about it days after listening to it. Chris is so damn funny, honest, and authentic. It's refreshing to see a man talk openly about the complexities of being human. So many other people (myself included) have a brain that's just as active. Thanks for sharing your experience. You are so awesome, Chris! And now I want to eat lasagna with you and your Dad.
Chris, if you read this, I had THE EXACT SAME kind of anxiety as you. After years of hell I finally got diagnosed with ocd. Didn’t change my obsessive thoughts but, taught me how to manage it. Look into that
My girlfriend has diagnosed OCD. Intrusive thoughts. And it's been the weirdest thing I've experienced. We've been together 5 years. And I still don't believe I've met and know the real version of who she is. Cause she's so involved with every single thought she has she doesn't have time to live in the moment and just be. Or at the very most those times are very few and not for long.
Yes this is OCD and ADHD presentation. I have the same thing!!
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for OCD and I highly recommend it!

Nah. He definitely needs to be diagnosed by an actual medical professional but at 50:21 Chris is explaining to a T what "Health Anxiety" or "Hypochondriac Disorder" is. It's no joke. Normal body feelings like a headache or a stomach ache or dizziness can send you into a full blown panic attack. The real kind, where you truly believe you're dying.
I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia and eventually developed Health Anxiety. I didn't leave my house for more than 2 years, from 2021 to 2023.
For him it could be any number of things, he catastrophizes. That's a symptom of many different conditions.
He for sure needs more than a therapist though, I tried a lot of medications, which works great for a lot of people but not me. Ended up with a psychologist (A therapist will a "real" degree) and a psychiatrist.
Chrissy and Whitney Cummings have the same "everything has to have a diagnosis" impulse
Thats why they’re both more annoying than they are funny. Not that they arent funny.
That's what happens when you give unfunny narcissists Adderall.
thats what being on IG/Twitter too much does to you
@@ash8298how is he a narcissist?
@@ash8298weird you chose to watch the pod than lmao
I've loved Chris for a couple years now but him being so vulnerable and sharing his up's and down's on such a huge platform makes me respect and love him so much more.
Gay
Chris is a good man very funny and I feel the pain he gets from anxiety i suffer from it too but joe really is a good host and a great friend caring for him great podcast!
Comparison is the thief of joy, Chrissy. You do you man. You’re killin it. Take care of you and your family and that’s all you need my man. You’re the best
Rogan: Psychedelics & Excercise
Distefano: Try again
Anyone who made it past 20 minutes is the real hero. This mans anxiety is contagious.
At first i felt empathy towards him at the end i was like what a fucking selfish bastard for making his kids go through that just because he can’t stop being a man child
I made it 10. Unlistenable.
Made it through perfectly fine myself, maybe you two just have anxiety and his heightens yours???
I'm precisely at the 19 minutes mark and calling it quits. Checking the comments to see if I'm weird or people feel the same. Seems it's not me
@@danpetreatotally man, the 100 people that felt this way are the voice of all 2 million listeners

Chris,
I myself suffered from the same kind of anxiety you have my whole life, and finally learned how to control it at 30 years old. But the way you described it is literally how I would have described it myself. God speed my friend.
Coming out of the closet really helps?
Gayyyy!!!!
"... finally learned how to control it"
???
Who would have thought Chris Distefano would have had one of the best JRE’s in a long time. He may not be the #1 comic out there, but he seems like such a genuinely good dude. This pod was just two dudes having a real conversation, sharing real experiences. I found a new respect and appreciation for Chrissy. lol
one of the best JRE’s!!!!! this is not true in any form or shape , this guy is annoying as fuck , he never shut up for two seconds
1:33:32 - claim's he has never thought that way before.
1:33:36 - gives example of how he has thought that way before.
That was an essential podcast. Loved it. Not just some lighthearted fun, but essential life-stuff. This kind of talk, to a mentor or a friend is often much more helpful than talking to a therapist. Probably helped Chris more than anything else.
"The mind of Intelligent, driven people is a powerful tool, that, when not pointed at something else and used sufficiently, will turn onto oneself. "
And also I seldom heard Joe laugh that as hard las at Chris' bombing-story. I was crying laughing.
My kids went missing a few days ago and i finally took Joes advice and starter wprking out hard. I now dont care anymore. Thanks Joe!
😂😂😂😂
Username checks out
🤣🤣
I broke my back and started doing squats! My back is stronger than ever! Joe saved my life!
Make sure youre doing a cold plunge along with that
This guy, Chris makes Bill Burr look super chill super calm. It’s amazing how these comedians have such a wild minds.
Well said. I think almost all have issues that are on the edge of being very bad issues. Hopefully he moves on eventually
I haven't ever heard anyone convey the path of anxiety so well. I totally relate.
crippling anxiety, eats edible
I know people who get acute anxiety from edibles,like crazy
If you get anxiety from edibles just stay sober don’t even smoke anymore y’all fuckin embarrassing 😂😂😂😂
@@fredliskis8405that’s me. I can’t smoke, eat, none of that anymore. It all causes extreme anxiety. My brain is F’d I know it.

I hope he’s serious when he’s saying he’s following Christ. I can never tell, but he’s said it so much I think it’s true.
☦️🙏
This episode was f’ing insane lol. Homeboy went on a 2hr 45min anxiety filled monologue. Seems like a good dude but maaaan lol
😂😂
Really glad he talked about his anxiety. Very relatable
“And that’s why I’m with Christ.”
“Alright, let’s wrap this up.”
Somebody Tell Rogan to put on the Faull Brothers from fourthwatchfilms !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be super interesting to have Lee strobal the author of the CASE FOR CHRIST book he was talking about on, especially since he use to be a hardcore atheist.
@@SamferdI just commented this man,… joe is full of all these reasons why Christianity isn’t truth, yet never has he had ANY Christian theologian or apologist. I don’t think it’s genuine of him to use these lame counter points when he could easily get a Christian apologist on,… why is that 🧐
@@billeinstein5569 its really simple, magic isn't real.
@@JohnSmith-se5js apparently your also really simple
casually saying ill fall in the love with actress from reindeer had me dying
That’s funny because one is a trans and one is very overweight to be nice
" id been fondled by a lady, she was 21 and I was 13, that was a lot of fun " 😂😂🤣🤣🤣! Had me dying!
If the roles were reversed and it was a 21 year old man doing that to a 13 year old girl, fathers would want that dude's head on a pike! See men and women are different.
I LOVE HIM! Chris is interesting, entertaining, and comforting to listen to. I love how compassionate Joe is with him here. This whole episode is helpful explaining how one's struggles with anxiety manifest in daily life. I'm so glad Joe brought up Abigail to Chris and how obsessing about our problems doesnt help- it actually makes things worse. I've learned this is VERY true. CBT really works! The book FEELING GOOD by Dr. David D. Burns is great! Even some woo woo versions such as the The Secret by Rhonda Byrne can really help people depending on what they relate to most.
I'm in 14 minutes and I'm exhausted. Imagine being around this guy all the time.
I’m at min 12 and wondering why I’m watching this
Im only 5 minutes in and am ready to stop listening.
I just started and I’m bout to kill myself
Much like Rick Glassman he's a lot lol
@@steviefranchize21 I'm 21 minutes in and it feels like how it is to read a book has just a few... more... chapters.
There is a fine line between self awareness and narcissism.
Chris DiStefano knows where that line is. It's way over there.
Bit of a victim complex for sure.
100%%%
There may be a fine line but this douche blew the line like cops were chasing him
Heh yeah reminds me of the time my dad would fill a diaper with ice cubes and play as the ice climbers on our gamecube
Joe, "Go out in the woods and blow a hole in something big! It's very therapeutic.".😂
It’s kinda true. 😂 But once you’re in the woods and the solitude, you realize the “blowing a hole in something” is the less important part.
less important but still important
It totally is though! Lol
💥😊
@@groovehog1 The Adrenaline, the satisfaction, the hard work of packing it out of the woods, the application of having all that meat! It puts LIFE into perspective.
Works for me.
@@bradjones5107 Even just the "being in the woods" part.
Hell, I feel like a completely different person in all good ways if I just walk a trail with my dog out in the sticks for a few hours a week. Grounding as all heaven
this episode is amazing. lots of good advice. hearing other anxious people helps with my own
- Chris "Im anxious"
- Joe "do you workout?"
😂😂😂😂. Working out is Joe’s solution for everything. But all jokes aside, it really does help.
And then Chris describes "baby's first day at the gym" 😂
Working out literally helps with anxiety lol
Make sure you are eating correctly too so you dont get anxiety from working out too 😂
He used to take steroids and worked out constantly. Obsession with anxiety makes it worse, people need to stop thinking they are helpless
chrissy thank you for talking about this. I’ve been experiencing similar feelings and i needed to hear that I’m not the only one so thank you this made me feel better.
Man that first 20 minutes was intense. I think I could feel Chrissy's energy on his podcasts the last few months or longer cuz I haven't been excited to watch his podcasts like I usually been. I been a fan since History Hyenas and I'll always be a fan. I low-key started feeling really bad for Chris when he was talking about the self sabotage. It made me sad and I felt for him when he said he hurt his family. I'm glad he was able to figure it out tho and not go completely off the deep end. Maybe I should start watching his podcasts again lol. Love u Chrissy, if you see this, stop reading the comments! Lol
Mike Cannon is what has happened to Chrissy's podcast. He is dragging it into the dirt.
Just three hours of Joe trying to talk Chris off the ledge while Chrissy Chaos casually dangles his legs over the edge.
50 min in and I’m totally exhausted. And I’m a psychotherapist 😂
Thanks, u made me smile...
TheRapist
aren't they all
That "Whaaaat?" from Joe 2 mins in was so legit hahaha. Dude was flabbergasted by what he was hearing 😂
what Chis needs is a month with David Goggins
Jocko
hell no, that would make him insufferable like goggins
Oh that would need to be captured on film
A month with Goggins, then a month with Duncan Trussell. Rinse and repeat.
Goggins is mentally unstable
Chris would be the coolest dude to hangout with! He’s mad chill and would just make you geek out laughing all day😂
yeah i have done prev- he's cool but also has this stuff going on in his mind too - so they say dont meet ur heroes etc hes not a hero but u know - so i guess ppl we like/celebrities are kl for their art/work BUT the identity /personality can come undone and appear not so shiny etc that we see them for on stage/on screen - seen??
Born too late to explore the earth. Born to soon to explore the galaxy. Born just in time to experience Joe Rogan & Chris Distefano! Thanks guys!
Are you ok?
Honestly one of my favourite podcasts, two very different men explaining some of their many approaches to life. Super chill, I feel like these 2 gotta be bffs now 😅
Chrissy stood on business though, wasn’t afraid to bring up our lord! God bless
“Stood on business” is bringing up Catholicism? Lol s’gay
Oh wow the most powerful peado church in the world.
Love Chris!!! The level he’s on I’ve been searching for my whole life! 😊
The casual mention of jizzing on himself and shirt change is wild 😂.
Needs tomestamp
I really like this guy. I’ve listened quite a bit lately and he seems like a person with good self awareness that prioritizes his family.
Lmao
Lmao, tell that to everyone who loved history hyenas. Selfish af. Dropped a success podcast on its rise for a trutv pilot
And I always thought that I had a tendency to overthink my problems. This guy seems to have made it an art form
You are so patient and generous with Chris, such a good friend. I'm back in. You gotta good heart, Joe. Chrissy keeps walking himself back into his demons and darkness even though he says he's well and and believes the good stuff and takes your advice for two minutes, for two minutes then he's right back in. He's def leans into it. It's his drug, his anxiety. He can't part with it - it's like his baby blanket. I hope the best for him - he needs you man - U are good Friend.
This dude is a real man,… he is authentic and has a heart of gold!! I’m also getting nervous that I can relate to him so much 🤣🤣
This dude needs to find out having a family and being gay are not mutually exclusive. There was a show about gay catholic dads on tlc years ago, it only lasted one episode, and it was insane.
I'm only ten minutes in but this sounds like textbook Imposter's Syndrome.
Yeah, he’s Chrissy Imposters for sure. I thought it was crazy when he was talking about downsizing after spending millions upsizing, but I would probably spazz out also.
Chrissy slight BPD?
I wish I had imposter syndrome because it would mean I accomplished something
Or just a bad problem with intrusive thoughts. Joes right he needs a hobby to keep his mind occupied. Or medication if that’s his thing
@@Fergus-H-MacLeodit’s never too late bro
I find this guy super relatable. Sounds like he has OCD? He worries a lot and his thoughts move quickly and I kinda understand this dudes energy. I was dx w adhd at 19 and he kinda reminds me of how my brain works.
Sure we all have these tendencies. Part of what makes it so annoying is the belief that only he is unique in dealing with these things with a total disregard for the audience or respect for even worse struggles (aka gratitude) he has a great life but can't see it, because of self-absorbed ego, he might even be a drag on people who have it worse than he does
around an hour and twenty minutes in Joe is breaking down some entry level mma stuff for Chris and it reminds me why I keep coming back to this podcast man. Joe is really just having real conversations most episodes it feels like. Chris was interested in getting into mma and Joe was sharing some wisdom and it all felt and sounded real.
I love this guy! Always fun to watch him with Joe
I'm not a mental health professional, but I'm hearing classic OCD thought patterns.
Yeah, I suffer from this too. He's also immature and narcissistic, and closeted so he's fcked 5-ways different ways to sunday.
@@Tybolt1 Damn. You right
Chris has deserved this and has been grinding for years to get to this point.
I'm ecstatic for this podcast
Let's. Fucking. Go.
I’m willing to bet he tells us the same stories. But proud of Chrissy drip drops.
Chris stinks
What's his best bit? Still haven't found a video of him being funny.
@@Atomic-DawgHe is a story teller not much of a bit guy. U can say u don’t find him funny, but he is a successful comedian for a reason
