The thing that makes us love Jason is his brutal honesty. It really means a lot to a lot of people. Keep your head up Jason you will get through it and figure it out. Much love.
Jason Ellis you are amazing you're too hard on yourself I'm living in a tent which is funny cuz you brought it up in the podcast but you seem like an awesome cumin be proud of your accomplishments I hope you have a beautiful day
talk to Bobby Lee! you guys are going thru the same thing and are kindred spirits. Love you Jason!! Came from Hawk v Wolf and now i love seeing you all over the place.
I'm sad to hear that you and Katie are breaking up, but your openness about the queer stuff is beautiful, powerful, and has more positive impact than you realise.
Bro you already worked your ass off to have the connections you have, use em. Don’t let yourself diminish yourself cause you’re not starting from the bottom in comedy. Real recognize real ❤ as a new fan I’m loving you man
Hang in there, Jason and Katie! Glad to see Dr. Drew on the show during these times. Tully, thanks for breaking it down like you always do, those cultural details matter whether we realize it or not.
Two things that I relate to the most here is #1. Our inner bully. The voice that tells us that we aren't good enough. Never have been and never will be. The voice that has the power to flip anything positive on its head and makes us feel like we don't deserve it...we're not good enough...we'll ruin it eventually anyway and so on. #2. We find comfort in the devil we know. No matter how bad we want to change our patterns and live in happiness and be content, it's foreign and for some crazy reason uncomfortable. So we find ways to tear it all apart and find comfort in the chaos. I'm working on challenging the inner bully and welcoming the uncomfortable. I truly hope you find a way to do the same. XOXO
I tell myself the same thing but I've also been told my whole life I wouldn't amount to anything. I have a college degree and a 20 yr career and those words still are with me and still don't think I'm shit. Words hurt worse than a fist
Jason listen bro, you’re the most open and honest and humble person I’ve ever watched. You don’t know how much you mean to people, I relate to you so much in so many ways. It helps me and helps so many people. I’ve followed you for years even way back on Sirius days and no matter what you’ve went through you always prevail and come out the other side! You’ll make it bro. You have a world of fans on your side 🤟❤️
Just WOW. What a fucking great episode. Yo Jason, keep your head up man. Never thought I could relate to you that much but here it goes - I'm bisexual (never said that on any social media, but I think this is a safe space). I'm an addict (alcoholic), and been through a "divorce"of some sorts (living with a girl, not married), and even if the breakup wasnt my fault, it almost destroyed me. I got to know you because Hawk Vs Wolf, I just wanna say keep doing you, you're a beautiful human being with lots of talent, and I just wish you the best. That's it. Thank you. Keep doing you, I'm just one person but I fuck with you. Peace bro, peace Katie, lots of bravery to share this kinda stuff. Peace
No hate or judgment here......but if you are a guy....you CANT be bi - sexual! If you have taken another man's parts in your mouth or anus....EVEN ONCE.....then you are gay! No true hetero-sexual male would let an erect penis anywhere NEAR THEM! You are gay.......and that's fine! Men can't be bi - sexual.....that's ridiculous!
@@TheJasonEllisShowdon't go to cri help.... Find refuge recovery base. It's more focused in mindfulness. Cri help is behavior modification which is basically a fancy word for brainwashing. Fuck them.
Don’t give up Brothern! Your kids need you and you’re not alone. You still got a lot you can accomplish. Where Life is at it’s worst you gotta keep standing, take the punches, get back up, and learn to be strong with what you have. I hope that makes sense and things gets better
Most real . Intense podcast ever. The openness you guys have is incredible. I feel for you divorce is freeking hard. Sending you love from montreal canada
This was vulnerable. Keep being yourself, tell your story, and don’t worry about censorship so much. You’re one good “demonetized” episode away from being relevant to a new, larger group of people.
I've been listening to Jason since December of 2006. What I have learned is this....he looks at money and fame as being the number 1 thing in his life. His priorities have been in the wrong place for most of his adult life. I love listening to his show. I do not have an addictive personality, but he's been chasing something for decades and filling it with empty "fun" stuff. I wish the best for him, but he needs HELP, in a way that he's never fully allowed himself to get help. Get better, Jason. You, your kids, the people around you need you to look in the mirror and take FULL responsibility. Hugs brother
I stopped listening several years ago. Used to love the show tho… It seemed like he really shit on people in favor of money and fame, who really helped him get where he was… Rawdog, Christian Hand, Mayhem, etc etc…
Im 41 and that question about the binge drinking really resonated with me...thank you for answering it so well and I am definitely going to consider stopping drinking completely. Love ya shit Jase and keep that chin up. Reppin us Aussies well over there 🇦🇺
That was me. He's actually spot on, what I was saying that Jason didn't get through is I can totally have 1 or 2 drinks but I really have to control myself to stop there, because of my past binging. And he's definitely right about that leading to poor behavior and bad decisions in my 20s and 30s. I've really pulled it together in the last few years, but it's that struggle that lead to the question. I wish I could just be normal and have 1 or 2 beers and that's it, but alcoholism will always want me to keep going. It's up to me to stop myself and be responsible for myself and to be a good partner for my gal. I don't think I'm ready to quit completely, but the day is coming. Hope this helps my friend.
Truly saddened by this news. 😢 Please please just live your truth man. Help is out there! Drew has your back! We’re all backing you both!Katie you’re an amazing person and truthfully wish both of you the absolute best!! The world is a better place with you than without you! Your kids need their AMAZING dad!!
This shit hit so close to home. Going through almost the same shit even got a long time girl named Katie. Been following you forever I'ma old school skate board fan. You got this. We got this man. Thanks for talking about it. I feel dumb for being addicted to kratom after coming back from worse addictions, this shit really helped. Much love brother.
I’m 42. Never knew who you were until you started poppin up on ymh You’re a cool dude, and I hope you keep doing you the best you can. Please take care of yourself. You have a new listener.
I LOVE YOU JASON!!! YOU'VE HEARD IT A THOUSAND TIMES BUT ITS A TEST AND YOU ARE BEING PLACED IN THE FIRE TO GET RID OF YOUR IMPURITIES... FORGED!!! I'VE WATCHED YOU OVER HALF MY LIFE, YOU'RE A LIGHT AND PLEASE KNOW EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER. PRAYING FOR YOU BROTHER.
Damn, this makes me so sad. Been a fan of you since your skating days. I will always be a fan of you. You dont me , I never met you but I would not think any less of you. Keep your head up. I am pulling for you!!
Only found out about Jason from Dr. Drew's After Dark episode but already a big fan, there are important lessons to be learned from this dude. His honesty with self really made me think. Hope he finds the success he's looking for.
"I'm not going to say what my name is cause it sounds really stupid...my name doesn't but saying it does" -411 skate video #13 the first skate video I ever saw at 11yrs old you had me cracking up. Jason you have inspired many people. We all have flaws, thank you for being open about yours, it reminds us we are not alone in the struggle.
Much love to you too Katie I’m sorry you guys are going through this..😢 on the other hand it’s so healthy for all of your listeners to hear you guys openly talk about real things that we all deal with!
WOW, this episode is fire. I’ve watched twice. I’m a transgender male whose been sober 3.5 years. I can relate to you on so many levels. I love how vulnerable you are and in my experience that has been one of the keys to success in sobriety. Being a trans person I really did not want to give a 12 step program a shot but once I got honest, open minded, and willing, it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I hope you can find some peace. You are loved by many and have a lot of people in your corner. Don’t let the few haters get you down. 🖤🖤🖤
Jason...luv....give yourself more grace. You are a beautiful human and have great value for which you are greatly appreciated. Wishing you all the best 🇨🇦❤
This is a good show because it shows the side of love that most people don't understand... Being loved is work being in a marriage is work being in a relationship is work... And then this episode reminds us that we're all human we all fail... And we mess up in life... And the hardest part about this we hurt the ones closest to us, and then the damage is done..
None of this is easy. Just know that you've always got support from family, friends, and even a group of strangers who support you as much as possible.
Jason, I was first introduced to you on YMH and was eager to watch you open up on Dr. Drew’s podcast. Please don’t ever feel the need to conform to what you think people want you to be. You, alone, are captivating and raw. That’s what makes you unique. If people can’t handle all of you, they shouldn’t be here. Keep your head up. Much love to you during these hard times ❤
I think a lot of things are changing in the world right now, and I know all these ventures falling through must really hurt your motivation and how you see yourself, but I honestly think something new and exciting is going to emerge for you Jason! Your raw honesty and diverse personality is so so refreshing and invigorating. You're someone younger people especially can look up to, and I know you're changing the view of a lot of older people too. Please hang on ❤ You're going to bounce back, things will get better, and I feel like you'll figure out what you want and need soon. You're awesome dude. Love you!!! 🫶
Jason you are loved. You are appreciated. You are an absolute inspiration. We have your back. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being brave and showing your vulnerability and realness. Everyday is a battle and you can only fight 1 battle at a time. Each day you are still here means you have won a battle. 🥰🥰 love from your Aussie fan family.
For perspective Jason, I’m a middle aged (46) year old conservative, I’ve watched you with Tony but hadn’t subbed here. Today was the day I subbed. You’re a great guy, wrestle those demons and carry on, you got this
Jason be gentle with yourself... you have a good heart and that's what really matters. Just take care of yourself. I really appreciate all of you speaking openly about private matters. I wish you all nothing but the best! ✌️❤️✨
Ya know Jason, I’m a housewife and mother. 46 yes old. I have a wonderful spouse a nice house and can’t complain about a dang thing. But I use Kratom. I’ve always been an addict which stemmed from my childhood abuse. I’m working on it one step at a time. Tackling one trauma at a time and trying to figure it out. It’s hard to “change” these things in ourselves no matter how good things are on the outside. I’m here for your growth and I only found you recently so there are still new people finding you. I actually found you through Katie as I randomly saw her. Keep being open about yourself and your struggles and the right people will follow as well as inspire you in your journey. ❤ Each day is a new day to wake up and make choices that inch us closer to our best self. That’s the goal. Be your best self. That’s not perfection. That’s reaching the level you can while you are here in this earth. Peace for you.
You're one of my favorite people that I've never met. You're honesty can be funny, and also sad, but no matter what I connect with it in so many ways and I appreciate you. Hope to meet you one day.
Honestly, I knew Jason from being a skateboarder back in the day, never listened to Sirius but after listening to him on The Honeydew and Dr. Drew after Dark, it's impossible to not see how much of an open and honest person Jason is, even after all the bullshit that life has put him through
I really think you're helping me a lot listening to this in a way that just might motivate me to finally do something about my situation (s) get my ass in gear and move forward instead of steadily standing still and/or more often than not backwards. Basically all that to say simplier "thank you Jayson!"
First I want to say I love you Jason, you're a wonderful soul and ive been a big fan for a long time. I'm glad you mentioned the kratom, I started taking it a few years ago and im really struggling with a severe kratom addiction currently and knowing that im not alone in this fight really helps. I hope you find happiness Jason. I know im just a random comment on your video but if you ever need someone to talk to and vent or express yourself I'll be there for you.
I heard Jason with Tony on the previous version of the “Fear &” podcast and I thought he was awesome but didn’t seek out the previous podcast. Thanks to the algorithm I’m here now and I’m glad to subscribe.
I’m a huge proponent of cannabis and Kratom. But I just think it’s worth it to clear out your psyche for a bit. Doesn’t have to be forever. Can always go back just give it a try and a chance. 💔💔💔 you guys. Big love to Katie and Jason.
Kratom is an opioid. It causes exactly the same types of dependence, it has powerful withdrawals, and regular use has very negative health consequences.
@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 I should’ve clarified , I’m a proponent of it as a tool to help wean individuals off the harder stuff. Not so much the other way, if there’s no existing dependency on something hard, I wouldn’t be recommending to that person Do you have personal experience with kratom?
I love you Jason. I have followed you for years and I have always had a connection with you and your journey. Love and light my friend. You inspire so many people. Hang in there ❤
As someone who is struggling with kratom and THC addiction after losing one family member, and no longer being able to talk to another, I'm right there with you man. All you can do is keep your chin up, your heart open, and try to do better. Also, new fan as of a month or two ago! Love the show!
Kratom isn't going to help your situation, it's highly addictive if you get it from a gas station or head shop, they put chemical additives in it and label it as "natural" and "organic" when it's absolutely not. THC isn't physically addictive. You won't have physical illness like with kratom. I've been smoking for 25 years, I'm a legal grower, and have read decades and decades of studies on the plant. Once you overcome mind over matter, THC becomes completely obsolete.
Keep moving forward Jason and keep going man. Im a fan and absolutely love the show and love when your on dr drew and sicklers show. Whatever you do...DONT GIVE UP!! Keep going.
Love Dr. Drew have since the late '90's, Drew did so good here opening this up and kind of cleaning up the wounds in real respectful ways, also challenging taking no bs too. Way to go Drew
I can relate to feeling shame and depressed while also kicking my own ass. Sometimes getting out of the rut of self hate is real hard. Say something nice to the little boy Jason inside. I love all of your openness.
Thank you for being more accessible. I had to get rid of Sirius because of costs and only had it to listen to your show. I can't wait to reconnect to your shows.
I discovered jason through ymh and have really loved this man's honest experience and perspective. Thank you jason for being real and sharing with us. I hope you can get yourself to a good place. I really really love this man
You have always been 100% upfront and honest and that’s what makes you unique and you and helps us do the same! No matter what it is so refreshing to be and hear someone be authentic and relatable in any way! Your 100000% you! And feelings of failure are normal it’s always a struggle for myself as well and I’ve hit depression hard the past couple years, hearing you has made not feel alone in that. But also to get through it🖤
Holy schneekies! Big ups to all y'all for huge heaps of personal, business, and social/ community wisdom in one short podcast. DAYUM! possibly maybe the biggest overall challenge in life can be being honest with yourself/ making an all-in effort to stop repeating patterns. °°° there are waaaay more folkers out here that want Ellis to get to that next level / leave the negaverse behind. Way easier said than done, no doubt.
Jason, you are a solid person. Keep your head up man, the fact that you feel these things tells me you are a good person. All things get better my dude. Ive really grown to really enjoy your podcasts and honesty. You got this man! I felt your pain in this.
I’ve been watching Jason Ellis since his guest spots on Loveline with Mike Catherwood and Dr. Drew. I’ve watched him on other podcast and it sucks that his journey to become his true self has been this painful. I hope he can see stop hating himself because that shame will spiral. There’s nothing wrong with being sexually open and any woman would find Jason attractive (especially me)💖 especially if he could get professional help.
Thank you Jason for being so open and honest. I can relate to this so much with my husband and I right now as well. You will make it through and will grow from all this, one step and moment at a time. It all starts with self love and acceptance of what you cannot change. You are appreciated more than you know by so many people 💜
I decided to follow and subscribe today because of the last appearance I saw you on Dr. Drew. I like your real personality I like when you let loose and I think you need to hold on to that beast of a personality of yours. I'm straight as they come and l've never really been a skater kid and even still I embrace you and your delightful personality. People that dislike you because of something so trivial aren't your people my dude. You're funny af and make a GREAT podcast host and for that reason you have a new fan and a new subscriber. Cheers mate 🍻 💕
This is definitely going to be a heavy episode. I'm saying that before I have even started it. But, if the Sickler episode means anything. Things are not all Rose's on the Ellis front. I'm sure Jason is unlikely to read this. But, if you do. Keep your chin up. You have many people rooting for you. Even if I am likely not the kind of person you would hang with. (I used to inline skate lol some other reasons as well I'm sure. But, who cares?). We love you dude. Hope you figure this all out. Stay strong.
Jason could write a book on mental health, his life as a skateboarder and growingup with difficult family, and addiction. I feel it could be an outlet to get the frustration out and share some knowledge from experience to others too.
I haven't been a fan for long - just recently came across you from the YMH appearances you've done. But I really appreciate the vulnerability and honesty. I'm also an addict and so much of my life is hiding and denial and lying, especially to myself, and it's really helpful to see you be open like this. It's so hard man, it feels like you do a bunch of really good work to get better, and you get on a good track, and then one day you wake up and you've slipped right back down into the shit again. But having people around that love you and care about you makes it worth climbing back out. So I'm pulling for you, man - I hope you'll accept the love that is clearly there for you and keep working at all this shit, because it's worth it (I know how hard that can be when you feel like you don't deserve it).
Something brought me back to the Straight Gay episode of DrDad, cause I remembered Jason being a fascinating and open guy. Now I'm here and am looking forward to seeing him interact with the other comedians he's had on. Sorry to hear about such a tough time and listen to this sad podcast but I'm uplifted by the friendship and journey of self acceptance! Keep on truckin' Jason, you're G'd up in both the straight and gay ways and I'm here for it. :)
Keep moving forward Jason,be good to yourself. Life is such a struggle but I know for myself I've come way too far to give up. I haven't watched your show in awhile but itz cuz I got my own shit goin on & too much internet was distracting me. Don't stop being the best part of you thatz honest & funny. I wish you & Katy the best,hopefully if anything you both will remain good friends. L&R
I wanted to hear more of Katie’s thoughts. It’s ok, obviously, that she shares as much or as little as she wishes. I’m just saying I wanted to hear from her more in this podcast.
Jason, love you man! Saw you on scissor bros, remembered laughing my ass off to you in the early Sirius days! Sirius has fallen off, you are a star! Sorry to hear about your personal issues but it sounds like you have a lot of people that care about you!
I think finding a way to confront and process your shame, and sincerely attempt to do so with honesty and humility instead of getting defensive. With all due respect to Drew, and truly I respect him, I feel as though Jason would benefit from detaching his foundational self-worth and -perception entirely from external signals. Jason, when you try to use everyone else's perception of you to determine your worth, you end up with an unstable and misguided sense of self. ~ To assess yourself honestly, 1st, judge yourself using the same standards with which you judge those you care about. If Katie did something that disappointed you, would you believe it made her a bad person? Would you believe she, by making poor decisions, no longer deserved love or forgiveness? By your standards, if Katie is worthy of love&happiness, despite her short-comings, then so are you. This also applies to the opinions of fans, audience, and strangers. If some random person, or 100 random people, told you Katie is lame and not good at what she does, would you feel different about her? Or would you think they could fuck right off, because you actually know Katie, and you also know yourself, and they don't. 2nd, Practice not taking things personal. Unless someone youre close to is telling you something from a place of love, don't take it personal. 99.9% of the time, other people's bad attitudes, negative opinions, and cruel comments have nothing to do with you, personally. There are a lot of sad, insecure people out there that will spew projections of their own shame at anyone less miserable than them. Lastly, when people you respect, especially professionally, offer opportunities and encouragement, take them at their word, and take them up on their offers. They wouldn't offer opportunity, have you on their podcasts, encourage your comedy, and include you in their shit talk if you weren't welcome in the comedy community ;) Keep your head up, everyone ❤ Do what you need and want to do, real fans are just along for the ride 😘
The thing that makes us love Jason is his brutal honesty. It really means a lot to a lot of people. Keep your head up Jason you will get through it and figure it out. Much love.
no i😅i😅😅 no iilook for a ii pop oipoop o😊 I j k no 😅😅😅j😅j ok i
I don't love him at all. I think he sucks
He’s the Morrissey of podcasting ! Lol
Jason Ellis you are amazing you're too hard on yourself I'm living in a tent which is funny cuz you brought it up in the podcast but you seem like an awesome cumin be proud of your accomplishments I hope you have a beautiful day
talk to Bobby Lee! you guys are going thru the same thing and are kindred spirits. Love you Jason!! Came from Hawk v Wolf and now i love seeing you all over the place.
Bobby is stuck in Hollywood. Jason has much more solid people around him I'm sure he'l do great in the long run
Bobby is a mess lol they should do each other's pods more though
Listening to Ellis on ymh is why I am now subscribed to this channel. ❤ this guy
I'm sad to hear that you and Katie are breaking up, but your openness about the queer stuff is beautiful, powerful, and has more positive impact than you realise.
She should leave him She needs a real man not a sis

You’re one good “demonetized” episode away from being relevant to a new, larger group of people.
Jason... You mean so much, to so many people. Thank you for being so open and human. Above all, remain confident and give em hell.
Thank you so much for always being open . It helps me ❤
This open therapy session that is the Jason Ellis show is just beautiful ❤❤❤
We all are in the same boat

Rawdog, Christian Hand, Mayhem, etc etc…
Sometimes you need a REAL episode. This one hit in so many ways. Please keep it up!
This broke my heart. Catch me tearing up at work. I've been in a really low place as well, but just know that we love you Jason.

Dont consider it. Just Do It !! Nike says.. My experience was, damn wish I would've stopped sooner. Good Luck,
Truly saddened by this news. 😢 Please please just live your truth man. Help is out there! Drew has your back! We’re all backing you both!Katie you’re an amazing person and truthfully wish both of you the absolute best!! The world is a better place with you than without you! Your kids need their AMAZING dad!!
As a person who has openly dated bisexual men...just wow. Sounds like he choose gay sex over his family. We all make choices dude
Love you Jason! Been a fan of you since I was 13 and now I’m 30 years old! You keep progressing man and cut yourself some slack! ❤
You're not nothing. You have the right to feel bad. Keep fighting! Your fans are here because you are you. TY for sharing the real stuff.
Its that what June says to Johnny Cash, in "Walk the Line", when he was struggling w/addiction?
Your Not nothing,
This shit hit so close to home. Going through almost the same shit even got a long time girl named Katie. Been following you forever I'ma old school skate board fan. You got this. We got this man. Thanks for talking about it. I feel dumb for being addicted to kratom after coming back from worse addictions, this shit really helped. Much love brother.
I’m 42. Never knew who you were until you started poppin up on ymh
You’re a cool dude, and I hope you keep doing you the best you can.
Please take care of yourself.
You have a new listener.
Another amazingly powerful and intimate podcast. Thank you Jason, Katie and Tully for all the stories you have shared
Mike is such a genuinely kind person. I've never met the man, but you can see it in his mannerisms and his eyes. He'd be a good friend.
Jason is the most honest person I listen to. Your honesty keeps us all in check. We love you dude. You inspire us all. You are a great role model
I LOVE YOU JASON!!! YOU'VE HEARD IT A THOUSAND TIMES BUT ITS A TEST AND YOU ARE BEING PLACED IN THE FIRE TO GET RID OF YOUR IMPURITIES... FORGED!!! I'VE WATCHED YOU OVER HALF MY LIFE, YOU'RE A LIGHT AND PLEASE KNOW EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER. PRAYING FOR YOU BROTHER.
Thank you for saying that, mate
Damn, this makes me so sad. Been a fan of you since your skating days. I will always be a fan of you. You dont me , I never met you but I would not think any less of you. Keep your head up. I am pulling for you!!
I absolutely love the vulnerability and honesty in this episode. It's refreshing. And helpful. Thanks for this.
Jason you are amazing I’ve found you recently and the fact you are open about yourself is Inspiring
Only found out about Jason from Dr. Drew's After Dark episode but already a big fan, there are important lessons to be learned from this dude. His honesty with self really made me think. Hope he finds the success he's looking for.
"I'm not going to say what my name is cause it sounds really stupid...my name doesn't but saying it does" -411 skate video #13 the first skate video I ever saw at 11yrs old you had me cracking up. Jason you have inspired many people. We all have flaws, thank you for being open about yours, it reminds us we are not alone in the struggle.
I appreciate the vulnerability in this podcast. Thank you. Needed this today!
Much love to you too Katie I’m sorry you guys are going through this..😢 on the other hand it’s so healthy for all of your listeners to hear you guys openly talk about real things that we all deal with!
Katie deserves a medal, it's beyond exhausting having to deal with a narcissist.
Yep, hes ran off so many people from his show and his life. Its all “me me me” all the time…
WOW, this episode is fire. I’ve watched twice. I’m a transgender male whose been sober 3.5 years. I can relate to you on so many levels. I love how vulnerable you are and in my experience that has been one of the keys to success in sobriety. Being a trans person I really did not want to give a 12 step program a shot but once I got honest, open minded, and willing, it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I hope you can find some peace. You are loved by many and have a lot of people in your corner. Don’t let the few haters get you down. 🖤🖤🖤
Don’t end it Jason. Life is full when you open the lid and allow others to fill your soul with reminders that others really DO care about you.
I hope he ends it all.... Has one of those I'm taking my kids with me as I go too...
Jason...luv....give yourself more grace. You are a beautiful human and have great value for which you are greatly appreciated. Wishing you all the best 🇨🇦❤
This is a good show because it shows the side of love that most people don't understand...
Being loved is work being in a marriage is work being in a relationship is work... And then this episode reminds us that we're all human we all fail... And we mess up in life...
And the hardest part about this we hurt the ones closest to us, and then the damage is done..
None of this is easy. Just know that you've always got support from family, friends, and even a group of strangers who support you as much as possible.
Jason, I was first introduced to you on YMH and was eager to watch you open up on Dr. Drew’s podcast. Please don’t ever feel the need to conform to what you think people want you to be. You, alone, are captivating and raw. That’s what makes you unique. If people can’t handle all of you, they shouldn’t be here. Keep your head up. Much love to you during these hard times ❤
I think a lot of things are changing in the world right now, and I know all these ventures falling through must really hurt your motivation and how you see yourself, but I honestly think something new and exciting is going to emerge for you Jason! Your raw honesty and diverse personality is so so refreshing and invigorating. You're someone younger people especially can look up to, and I know you're changing the view of a lot of older people too. Please hang on ❤ You're going to bounce back, things will get better, and I feel like you'll figure out what you want and need soon. You're awesome dude. Love you!!! 🫶
Jason you are loved. You are appreciated. You are an absolute inspiration. We have your back. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being brave and showing your vulnerability and realness. Everyday is a battle and you can only fight 1 battle at a time. Each day you are still here means you have won a battle. 🥰🥰 love from your Aussie fan family.
For perspective Jason, I’m a middle aged (46) year old conservative, I’ve watched you with Tony but hadn’t subbed here. Today was the day I subbed. You’re a great guy, wrestle those demons and carry on, you got this
Love you Jason & Katie! Divorce isn’t easy but it’s not the end. Thank you for your honesty and respect towards the issue of feeling mental pain.
Jason Ellis is the best. He’s the realest man. He’s also hilarious. Hang in there brother, you will figure it out.
Jason be gentle with yourself... you have a good heart and that's what really matters. Just take care of yourself. I really appreciate all of you speaking openly about private matters. I wish you all nothing but the best! ✌️❤️✨
Rooting for you, dude. Speaking as a fan, we go where you go. Unless you say “piss off” then we go!
NEVER! :)
@@TheJasonEllisShow that goes for Tully too.
Ya know Jason, I’m a housewife and mother. 46 yes old. I have a wonderful spouse a nice house and can’t complain about a dang thing. But I use Kratom. I’ve always been an addict which stemmed from my childhood abuse. I’m working on it one step at a time. Tackling one trauma at a time and trying to figure it out. It’s hard to “change” these things in ourselves no matter how good things are on the outside. I’m here for your growth and I only found you recently so there are still new people finding you. I actually found you through Katie as I randomly saw her. Keep being open about yourself and your struggles and the right people will follow as well as inspire you in your journey. ❤ Each day is a new day to wake up and make choices that inch us closer to our best self. That’s the goal. Be your best self. That’s not perfection. That’s reaching the level you can while you are here in this earth. Peace for you.
Hang in there man. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
You help so many of us We love you Jason
You're one of my favorite people that I've never met. You're honesty can be funny, and also sad, but no matter what I connect with it in so many ways and I appreciate you. Hope to meet you one day.
Discovered Jason a month ago. Stay strong brother, your authenticity is truly inspiring.
thanks so much for being here!
Honestly, I knew Jason from being a skateboarder back in the day, never listened to Sirius but after listening to him on The Honeydew and Dr. Drew after Dark, it's impossible to not see how much of an open and honest person Jason is, even after all the bullshit that life has put him through
I really think you're helping me a lot listening to this in a way that just might motivate me to finally do something about my situation (s) get my ass in gear and move forward instead of steadily standing still and/or more often than not backwards. Basically all that to say simplier "thank you Jayson!"
oh man I love Dr Drew RIGHT INTO IT! 13:06 Dr Drew puts down the law.
He tells it like it is, no matter what! HAHA
@@TheJasonEllisShow stop responding to ME !!!!!!!! :) for real though, love you.
First I want to say I love you Jason, you're a wonderful soul and ive been a big fan for a long time. I'm glad you mentioned the kratom, I started taking it a few years ago and im really struggling with a severe kratom addiction currently and knowing that im not alone in this fight really helps. I hope you find happiness Jason. I know im just a random comment on your video but if you ever need someone to talk to and vent or express yourself I'll be there for you.
Keep your head up king
👏 👏 👏 Thank you being so honest and open Jason.
I heard Jason with Tony on the previous version of the “Fear &” podcast and I thought he was awesome but didn’t seek out the previous podcast. Thanks to the algorithm I’m here now and I’m glad to subscribe.
Loved this. Thank you for discussing your journey.
What an awesome show! Always respected Jason's honesty. Wish nothing but the best for you mate!
I’m a huge proponent of cannabis and Kratom. But I just think it’s worth it to clear out your psyche for a bit. Doesn’t have to be forever. Can always go back just give it a try and a chance.
💔💔💔 you guys. Big love to Katie and Jason.
Kratom is an opioid. It causes exactly the same types of dependence, it has powerful withdrawals, and regular use has very negative health consequences.
@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 I should’ve clarified , I’m a proponent of it as a tool to help wean individuals off the harder stuff. Not so much the other way, if there’s no existing dependency on something hard, I wouldn’t be recommending to that person
Do you have personal experience with kratom?
I love you Jason. I have followed you for years and I have always had a connection with you and your journey. Love and light my friend. You inspire so many people. Hang in there ❤
As someone who is struggling with kratom and THC addiction after losing one family member, and no longer being able to talk to another, I'm right there with you man. All you can do is keep your chin up, your heart open, and try to do better.
Also, new fan as of a month or two ago! Love the show!
Jason keeps a D in his mouth I think that's his secret to" success" lol
Don't shame yourself over kratom. Excellent alternative for fools like us that destroyed our bodys skating Handle your fuckin business
Kratom isn't going to help your situation, it's highly addictive if you get it from a gas station or head shop, they put chemical additives in it and label it as "natural" and "organic" when it's absolutely not. THC isn't physically addictive. You won't have physical illness like with kratom. I've been smoking for 25 years, I'm a legal grower, and have read decades and decades of studies on the plant. Once you overcome mind over matter, THC becomes completely obsolete.
You are amazing, Jason! You are inspiring for sharing your story. We're all pulling for you.
I'm not pulling for him at all. I hope him and Tully sink to the bottom where their talent is
Keep moving forward Jason and keep going man. Im a fan and absolutely love the show and love when your on dr drew and sicklers show. Whatever you do...DONT GIVE UP!! Keep going.
Love Dr. Drew have since the late '90's, Drew did so good here opening this up and kind of cleaning up the wounds in real respectful ways, also challenging taking no bs too. Way to go Drew
tough hearing jason like this & hearing katie so serious hopefully they come full circle and figure things out best to both of them
Extremely relatable, I feel this way on and off, thanks so much, I hope to heal one day
I think a lot more people are suffering the same as Jason and to hear it gives comfort and solidarity to a lot of people which is good in itself
I can relate to feeling shame and depressed while also kicking my own ass. Sometimes getting out of the rut of self hate is real hard. Say something nice to the little boy Jason inside. I love all of your openness.
Thank you for being more accessible. I had to get rid of Sirius because of costs and only had it to listen to your show. I can't wait to reconnect to your shows.
I discovered jason through ymh and have really loved this man's honest experience and perspective. Thank you jason for being real and sharing with us. I hope you can get yourself to a good place. I really really love this man
Much love to you, Jason and Katie and Tully. Hope you guys can work it out and hope this show can continue. It’s my favorite.😎🤘🏼☀️☀️
Damn this was intense. Props to you Jason for putting this out there. You'll get through it!
Your awesome Jason. It's just another chapter.
You have always been 100% upfront and honest and that’s what makes you unique and you and helps us do the same! No matter what it is so refreshing to be and hear someone be authentic and relatable in any way! Your 100000% you! And feelings of failure are normal it’s always a struggle for myself as well and I’ve hit depression hard the past couple years, hearing you has made not feel alone in that. But also to get through it🖤
I’m sorry your going through it but thank you for being you Jason. Your honesty helps more than just you mate.
Holy schneekies! Big ups to all y'all for huge heaps of personal, business, and social/ community wisdom in one short podcast. DAYUM! possibly maybe the biggest overall challenge in life can be being honest with yourself/ making an all-in effort to stop repeating patterns. °°° there are waaaay more folkers out here that want Ellis to get to that next level / leave the negaverse behind. Way easier said than done, no doubt.
I feel like this is an episode about my life right down to the 10-year relationships. Hard episode to watch but thanks for putting it out there
Jason, you are a solid person. Keep your head up man, the fact that you feel these things tells me you are a good person. All things get better my dude. Ive really grown to really enjoy your podcasts and honesty. You got this man! I felt your pain in this.
I’ve been watching Jason Ellis since his guest spots on Loveline with Mike Catherwood and Dr. Drew. I’ve watched him on other podcast and it sucks that his journey to become his true self has been this painful. I hope he can see stop hating himself because that shame will spiral. There’s nothing wrong with being sexually open and any woman would find Jason attractive (especially me)💖 especially if he could get professional help.
Thank you Jason for being so open and honest. I can relate to this so much with my husband and I right now as well. You will make it through and will grow from all this, one step and moment at a time. It all starts with self love and acceptance of what you cannot change. You are appreciated more than you know by so many people 💜
I decided to follow and subscribe today because of the last appearance I saw you on Dr. Drew. I like your real personality I like when you let loose and I think you need to hold on to that beast of a personality of yours. I'm straight as they come and l've never really been a skater kid and even still I embrace you and your delightful personality. People that dislike you because of something so trivial aren't your people my dude. You're funny af and make a GREAT podcast host and for that reason you have a new fan and a new subscriber. Cheers mate 🍻 💕
Drew is a good man and friend. Thanks for the honesty Jason. You have a lot more in common with people than you think.
This is definitely going to be a heavy episode. I'm saying that before I have even started it. But, if the Sickler episode means anything. Things are not all Rose's on the Ellis front. I'm sure Jason is unlikely to read this. But, if you do. Keep your chin up. You have many people rooting for you. Even if I am likely not the kind of person you would hang with. (I used to inline skate lol some other reasons as well I'm sure. But, who cares?). We love you dude. Hope you figure this all out. Stay strong.
Also watched the Sickler episode and I don’t have a good feeling about this…Cmon Jason we got you my dude! Stay up homie ✌🏼🤙🏻
🍈
Jason could write a book on mental health, his life as a skateboarder and growingup with difficult family, and addiction. I feel it could be an outlet to get the frustration out and share some knowledge from experience to others too.
He has a book
He wrote a few books with Tully. “I’m Awesome” was the first one and a best seller.
Sending the love your way guys!!
I haven't been a fan for long - just recently came across you from the YMH appearances you've done. But I really appreciate the vulnerability and honesty. I'm also an addict and so much of my life is hiding and denial and lying, especially to myself, and it's really helpful to see you be open like this. It's so hard man, it feels like you do a bunch of really good work to get better, and you get on a good track, and then one day you wake up and you've slipped right back down into the shit again. But having people around that love you and care about you makes it worth climbing back out. So I'm pulling for you, man - I hope you'll accept the love that is clearly there for you and keep working at all this shit, because it's worth it (I know how hard that can be when you feel like you don't deserve it).
Something brought me back to the Straight Gay episode of DrDad, cause I remembered Jason being a fascinating and open guy.
Now I'm here and am looking forward to seeing him interact with the other comedians he's had on.
Sorry to hear about such a tough time and listen to this sad podcast but I'm uplifted by the friendship and journey of self acceptance!
Keep on truckin' Jason, you're G'd up in both the straight and gay ways and I'm here for it. :)
Only found Ellis a year or two ago but am ride or die for the homey now and watch everything, Keep swimming homey ✊️
Keep moving forward Jason,be good to yourself. Life is such a struggle but I know for myself I've come way too far to give up. I haven't watched your show in awhile but itz cuz I got my own shit goin on & too much internet was distracting me. Don't stop being the best part of you thatz honest & funny. I wish you & Katy the best,hopefully if anything you both will remain good friends. L&R
I wanted to hear more of Katie’s thoughts. It’s ok, obviously, that she shares as much or as little as she wishes. I’m just saying I wanted to hear from her more in this podcast.
The vulnerability in this pod, it’s impressive, raw, heartbreaking but I love it. It’s authentic
Jason, love you man! Saw you on scissor bros, remembered laughing my ass off to you in the early Sirius days! Sirius has fallen off, you are a star! Sorry to hear about your personal issues but it sounds like you have a lot of people that care about you!
I think finding a way to confront and process your shame, and sincerely attempt to do so with honesty and humility instead of getting defensive.
With all due respect to Drew, and truly I respect him, I feel as though Jason would benefit from detaching his foundational self-worth and -perception entirely from external signals.
Jason, when you try to use everyone else's perception of you to determine your worth, you end up with an unstable and misguided sense of self.
~
To assess yourself honestly, 1st, judge yourself using the same standards with which you judge those you care about.
If Katie did something that disappointed you, would you believe it made her a bad person? Would you believe she, by making poor decisions, no longer deserved love or forgiveness? By your standards, if Katie is worthy of love&happiness, despite her short-comings, then so are you.
This also applies to the opinions of fans, audience, and strangers. If some random person, or 100 random people, told you Katie is lame and not good at what she does, would you feel different about her? Or would you think they could fuck right off, because you actually know Katie, and you also know yourself, and they don't.
2nd, Practice not taking things personal. Unless someone youre close to is telling you something from a place of love, don't take it personal. 99.9% of the time, other people's bad attitudes, negative opinions, and cruel comments have nothing to do with you, personally. There are a lot of sad, insecure people out there that will spew projections of their own shame at anyone less miserable than them.
Lastly, when people you respect, especially professionally, offer opportunities and encouragement, take them at their word, and take them up on their offers. They wouldn't offer opportunity, have you on their podcasts, encourage your comedy, and include you in their shit talk if you weren't welcome in the comedy community ;)
Keep your head up, everyone ❤ Do what you need and want to do, real fans are just along for the ride 😘
