but this pod is the best.
This podcast is the first one I’ve ever listened to from the first episode that is available on here! But I will say I always look forward to it because it’s so real and raw I appreciate the real life stories that are told day and out, it really makes me feel connected and have more empathy towards others I hope it never stops because it really makes my days. I love ya Paul!
Paul, you are so real. Your simple honesty keeps me listening and coming back. I’m at the point now where the majority of what’s out there in terms of podcasts seems so scripted and garbagy, but your show is the exception — every episode is so honest and true and unfettered it just feels like a breath of fresh air. Thank you and I’m a huge fan in case you can’t tell. Everyone needs to listen to this podcast for comfort and peace and for knowing you are not alone.
Depression blows, but Paul explaining that his history as a comedian traveling the country telling “dick jokes” qualifies him as a host made me laugh. There’s something selfless about a person who can point out the humor in life while simultaneously carrying the weight of pain. Thank you for creating this platform for us to find community. 🩷
I’ve been listening since 2011. Every single episode. Paul, I know this will make you uncomfortable but seriously you saved me. Love you, man.
