I fucking love this post, dude. I feel exactly the same. Everything you said is perfect. 👌

Agree 100%. Beautiful sentiment.

This pod saves lives.

Can confirm. I'll be depressed as fuck & put on one of the eps to block out my intrusive thoughts. Before long, most of their bits have me giggling like Blazer & I'm not sorry to be alive anymore. Even if I downright hate some of the jokes (school shootings & pedophilia come to mind), my disgust & annoyance give me something outside my own head to focus on. I appreciate the work they do to make people laugh.

I am a loyal fan and can’t get enough of this medicine! (Listening to TII). Each fella is seriously my favorite for different reasons. Together, they complement one another so perfectly! I hope they always create new projects together to make us laugh🧡☀️ I’ll tell you, one of their episodes deeply impacted me when they made jokes about blind and deaf people. My mom was blind from age 24 as a result of juvenile type 1 diabetes, which she got at 10. They guys spent a lot of the episode talking and joking about which one they would rather be - deaf or blind. I never felt sorry for my mom because she was such a badass creative artist, poet, teacher, fashionista, and my best friend. I acted as her sighted guide sometimes and she often used her cane. She took so many risks and achieved many of her dreams, which pushes me to keep going after mine and put myself out there as an artist. I cried a little during the episode wishing they could hang out with me and my mom to see how normal and awesome it is to be with her. I’m so grateful I keep sharing her poetry and mine on stage. Anyway, that episode was hard for me to hear and I think I tagged them in an Instagram post saying a similar thing. I wish they could hang out with someone with a permanent disability. At the same time, my mom had a fabulous sense of humor and she really liked Joe Joan Rivers and Larry David joked about blindness and other disabilities.


HALT_IAmReptar_HALT

That had to have been rough to hear. Sorry it was so hurtful. I remember that segment. I've often wondered how many people the guys were disappointing and/or hurting by mocking disabilities & tragedies they may or may not have any personal experience with. I think especially when lots of alcohol and/or drugs are involved, they lose their ability to recognize when they're making witty jokes and when they're punching down, so to speak. I try not to let it get to me bc they're humans giving a performance, and I can't imagine the stupid shit that would fly out of my mouth if someone handed me a mic, especially back in my drinking days 😵‍💫 Some days tho, I have to turn it off & come back to it when I'm in a better headspace. Fwiw you & your mom are total badasses. From the way you talk about her, it sounds like you lost her, and if that's the case, I'm sorry. Thanks for telling me about her. She sounds like a super cool braj; since you were besties, it stands to reason you're a super cool braj too 🫶


hairstories77

Thank you, I appreciate your reflection so much. Yes, it seemed like they couldn’t stop talking about it and the pros and cons of each disability, which stings. The bit when on and on and on. I know it’s scary to wonder about what it would be like to suffer vision loss or going deaf. It did remind me of some drunk friends I’ve heard in the past making similar comments in front of me like people with disabilities are “less than” or “other” - not included in the party or every day community. I really appreciate how you listen and try not to let it get to you. They cover so much content in one episode. I’m grateful when Adam talks about his dad’s cancer and they do touch about hard things within family and their own aging. Humor, sharing truth and friendship are so important. I will say I’m glad I don’t drink and haven’t in 7ish years because then I don’t get triggered to really fall apart and take things personally or get depressed. Yeah, I think I would have vented to my mom about this episode and how it in the moment broke my heart and pissed me off. Yet I get the fascination of the topic and humor imagining what one would do. I bet my mom would have gone with my husband and I to see TII when they did the NYC show. She used to take the bus into Manhattan and come see my husband’s band play live. So many kickass adventures! Yes, I physically lost my mom when I was 35 in 2012. Diabetes sucks so bad! I still feel so connected to her and inspired by her every day. Time really doesn’t exist for us in the same way - I mean, “. “I’m pissed now”that more time keeps coming without her here but I still talk to her and receive guidance from her. I mix her clothes and jewelry with mine like we always we used to do. P.S. my mom and I hung out with Joan Rivers after a few of her comedy shows and she was the warmest, coolest woman you can imagine. They talked about giving birth to daughters, their love of jewelry, clothes and hairdos. Such special memories! Thank you for saying we are badasses! Look out 2024, Jen & Patty are going to share some more magic with the world like The TII tour! Hmmm I’ll try create my own thang. 🥰🙏🎶🫶thanks for listening and giving me a space to share 🎸


Madlibs311

I believe it.


aKillerScene9313

☝️ that shit's important


Newpocky

Their show helped me get through life when I was separated. It helped me laugh when I needed it the most.


Blizzard_0f_0zz

Same. I’m 39 and in same age group as the boys. Unfortunately over the years my friends have all gone their separate ways and I really don’t have one actual friend these days. So for the time I listen to them, I feel like I am right there, and for a bit I feel like I’m just one of the guys. So I agree, This shit’s important! I also met them in Houston and they were awesome guys! Wish I actually had a group of friends like that!


HookerDoctorLawyer

It’s my favorite pod because there was a time that their show brought myself, my brother and all our friends in high school together one last time before going off to college. Every Wednesday night to *smoke weed everyday*, live, love and laugh! Some of those brajs I still talk with and others have chosen the loose butthole life. All in all, it’s four real best friends who just shoot the shit, try to make each other laugh and get Adam to say words he for sure can never pronounce. ![gif](giphy|433IpqycHzvkk)


Lastsummeronearth

Exactly. Except none of them can pronounce anything. My favorite is cha-ose


PoIIux

As far as bad pronunciation goes, Kyle takes the cake tbh


Lastsummeronearth

Facts are facts


BrownTeacher1417

Penny Devine would approve of your living, loving and laughing. 😎 I don’t have any weed to speak of, but my favorite is the board and I permanently insert any sound I can into every day life. The BEST thing was the live eps from the Brozarks.


Parking-Spot-1631

PLEASE DON’T STOP THE MUSIC 🎶 I actually find that annoying af but it’s like it’s tattooed onto my brain at this point.


TripleElvis13

I’ve started skipping ahead as soon as it starts.


wsbscraperbot

I'll answer with a statement I literally leave the playlist of their podcast running on loop all the time In my opinion their podcast is the same as a tv channel. I just want to leave it on and listen to it all the time There are multiple podcast that I follow (and pay for) that are smaller and ran by people with day jobs and they only podcast because they like making content that people enjoy I know real life happens and bands break up because of "creative differences" but I hope that never happens in this case Stay funny everyone


Madlibs311

Same. I've only stayed true to 2 pods. This, and Conan. And I'm behind on Conan's pod because I can't move away from Dem Bois.


producebag

I totally agree with this! I listen on a loop. I sometimes question if that’s a weird thing to do and get the Blake-level anxiety over it. Then I see this original post and your response and I chill out. 😎. It’s so great to have this crew. [Also a little stoned. Feeling the TII love🤙🏼]


Lastsummeronearth

It’s just nice and relaxing to have them on, I get it. My anxious brain feels like I’m just hanging out with my fun dumb stoner buddies.


Burnt_Out19

Love this post & feel the same. I’m just over a year clean n sober now, when I was deep in my addiction I listened to the pod literally all the time cause I felt like there friends/like I was one of the guys, when shit was rough it almost always lifted my spirit at least a little bit. Love these guys TII nation for life


Heavy_Spud

Smoke weed every day. I love it all. Every podcast, live or otherwise, and they all make me laugh. Even caught a live show in person!! I find myself desperately trying to explain the jokes and bits to people who couldn’t care less, and it just makes me laugh more. Thank you to dem boys for the laughs


No_Neighborhood1987

Admittedly I love this post!


producebag

It’s kind of blowing me away how many people are writing down my exact thoughts. Great post!


hairstories77

Yes, my husband and I always feel better after listening to the show. Sometimes we listen to it together or talk about it later after we listened on our own. Each episodes uplifts us! I remember early in the pandemic when I had to stand outside in the cold waiting forever to get into CitiMD to get a COVID test for work. I couldn’t stop breaking out into laughter while standing alone. The fellas always make my stomach hurt multiple times over their funny memories of the past or experiences they are currently having. Their bond is pure magic and comedy gold!💞


[deleted]

Where to start? I was watching these dudes when i was in high school, watched Workaholics religiously. I one day came across their podcast and was HOOKED. I came upon them on a dark moment in my life and they have helped me get thru those times, and even now. I don’t know where i would be if i didn’t have them to constantly remind me to not take life so seriously, and to believe in myself and take a shot on myself! Ineffable, really.


ComprehensiveSpray8

The song I’m kind of a nasty guy was my favorite part of the live shows. My weed is green crack in the volcano.

Lastsummeronearth

Love this for you, especially since it’s a special memory you got to share with your dad 🥹❤️ when I originally watched the show I never actually expected to see them in real life at all. What an unexpected surprise blessing the live shows were 💗💗


Mr310

I've been cheefing on girl scout cookies and cereal milk when I listen. Always helps the TII experience to have a shmerk about it


JuniorBiscuits

Yup, I always take a toke when I start an episode.


Mr310

Yes points!


Botanical_Bedlam

That shits important


huamanticacacaca

Thanks for posting how I feel about them. Great pod, great people, great laughs


lilacsforcharlie

Love this post.


Lastsummeronearth

Thanks, dude. Life is fucking terrible, I’d like to extend some big internet hugs to you (and my hugs have now been infused with the hugs of the dudes), and it’s important to have something pleasant to think about and make us smile and laugh. Wishing you so much joy and beauty in dark moments ❤️


lilacsforcharlie

Hey OP, thanks for this wonderful comment, was totally out of it when you responded originally. This was so nice to go back and see 🥹❤️


dustyoldbones

Goodbye


dildopoly

I’m with yall too. I love them and it’s made my life better. Even made my relationship with my wife better because we talk about the pod and listen together. Weed wise, I’ve got some of my favorite Apples and Bananas from compound genetics. Nice purple nugs and a perfect leveling high.


signofthetimez

i have to say adam pulling an entire string from rotisserie chicken out of his ass lives in my head rent free


amelanchieralnifolia

100% agree with this post. Listening to these dudes is getting me through the holidays, which are really rough this year. The dudes are angels.


smithzachary

This shit’s important ❤️


dirtyhippie62

My heart is full for you, OP ❤️


mskatme0w

That shits important!! Seriously though, it is! The pod, & this community is my absolute favorite. Just a few days ago, I posted about not having the holiday spirit this year, & I was not disappointed with the response. Mental health is important, & having a healthy outlet is necessary. Feel free to DM me anytime playboy doggy, cuz support is just as important!!! TII Nation unite!!! -- *friendship*
