Transcripts

I've been recording for 4 minutes

already damn how's it going everybody

welcome back to the show called Joey

answers your questions the show it's

been a hot minute and I have absolutely

no idea what questions I'm going to

answer today but we're going to jump

right into it because why do you want to

listen to an intro yall know what's been

going on in my life or not and also why

do I want to tell you what's been going

on with my life the internet is a scary

place AI is going to take over pretty

soon if it hasn't already and the less

personal information out there the

better so let's just stick to business

let's talk about your problems and how

to solve

them also yes the wall panels behind me

the wood slot panels they are not even

in fact they're not even secured to the

wall they are just sitting

there I'll fix it later

[Music]

chip chap chop said 7 months ago it's

frustrating when you can see exactly

what you want but have no idea how to

get there and how to get past the

obstacles in your way it feels easy to

get caught on all the garbage that is

designed to pacify your desires when you

feel like you're getting nowhere maybe

it's a problem of

perspective yeah I feel like a lot of

things in life are a problem of

perspective like if we had the right

perspective on things the the right way

to look at it we would get things done

in our lives we' live way better but the

problem is it's hard to identify what's

a lie like for

instance one thing that I've been

thinking about a lot recently is I feel

like people get frustrated when they see

really successful people and they think

to themselves damn it just seems like

they are motivated and have fun with

doing ult things like the things that

are healthy the things that are good for

them it just seems like they want to do

those things genuinely and they don't

want to play video games all day and

they they actually don't want to scroll

social media all day it feels like we

really want to be the type of person who

is genuinely motivated to do the

difficult things and to do all these

little steps that we need to do on the

road to getting exactly what we want in

life but

I think that you already are that type

of person right there's just a

miscommunication going on if you really

opened your eyes and were conscious as

you did your Escape behaviors you know

if you were fully conscious and paid

attention to how you feel when you are

doing what you shouldn't be doing you

would realize that you don't enjoy these

things nearly as much as you think you

do you're just doing them compulsively

you know when you've been putting

something something off for a long time

you know you need to clean your room and

it's really messy it's been messy for a

really long time and every single day

that passes maybe weeks go by and the

tension builds you just think to

yourself I really need to clean this

room but I don't want to and you go do

something else that's more fun but the

one day that out of necessity you know

it gets to a boiling point or maybe your

mom yells at you because you still live

in the house you have no skill you're a

loser whatever it is something finally

compels you to clean your entire room in

one Fell Swoop 100 times out of 100 when

you're in the process of finally

cleaning your room and you're like 45

minutes into it and things are starting

to look a lot better order is being

restored the feeling that you feel

during these moments is always holy

smokes this feels really good I'm really

enjoying this why didn't I do this

earlier it feels so great to live in a

reality where my room is getting cleaner

and I'm doing what I finally need to do

there's something very empowering about

living in that reality if you were fully

conscious during these moments you would

realize that cleaning your room is fun

it's something that you actually like to

do you enjoy it you feel good when you

do it it is not this big scary thing it

is in fact an activity that if you were

to do this type of thing more often your

life would be more enjoyable not less

enjoyable so so I feel like a lot of the

time doing what we need to do and doing

all these annoying little steps in the

way of what we need to do when we think

about it that way we're not going to do

them because it feels like we're

operating from this perspective of oh I

should do this thing these are things

that I have to do I don't know what

these steps are to do what I have to do

right it's poor language because it's

not that you should do these things

right who's telling you that you should

do them where is this feeling of should

a lot of the time what we should do is

actually what we want to do so why not

take a step back dive into what you

should do and really pay attention to

how it makes you feel not scrolling on

your phone not playing video games not

watching inappropriate content on the

internet that's not giving anything up

there's nothing about it that you truly

enjoy there's nothing there that you can

take with you into life and you can feel

good about yourself and your existence

being a healthy motivated individual is

about realizing that it's not about

brainwashing yourself into success it's

about un-brainwash yourself so that you

no longer think that you enjoy these

shitty behaviors you don't nobody wants

to do the things that would lead them to

this type of Lifestyle this type of

mindset therefore the activities

involved with getting to this level of

degeneracy would require a type of

brainwashing to do am I making any sense

in a cosmic sort of way yes you just

have to let go of the lie that these

other shitty behaviors actually feel

good you know they don't rise above

reclaim the life that you

want yeah I'll answer another question

what the hell

[Music]

Scott Smith 8861 4 months ago said hey

hey Joey I'm currently in year

11 I'm assuming that's grade 11 and I am

about to start school yet I am extremely

stressed about the year due to the new

teachers that I will

have as in they don't teach in a way

that I understand the work that is being

taught which causes a a lot of stress

and self-doubt any advice going into

this New Year anyway love the videos

they have really been helping me answer

the hard questions in life thanks well

allow me to attempt to help you answer a

not so hard question in life so if

you're about to start the year how do

you already know that they will teach in

a way that you won't understand have you

struggled with this in the past have you

struggled with these teachers in the

past do these teachers suck at teaching

in any case clearly

you've started the year I think cuz this

was four months ago how's it been going

maybe you're doing something way better

maybe your approach is better than the

approach that I'm about to propose don't

be stressed about

anything my goodness what an idea why

didn't I think of that you know don't be

stressed about teachers that you may or

may not understand right you can learn

so much on the internet just basically

learn what they're trying to teach you

and go look it up on the internet go

look it up on YouTube after every single

concept of math or geography

English computer programming roast beef

some chicken a pizza it's all available

online right so it just takes a little

bit of elbow grease don't stress you

know chill enjoy the lecture take some

good notes and if there's anything you

don't get just look it up online chances

are you figured it out already without

my help so it's all right uh how's it

going by the way right in this video in

the comment section how if did you

figure it out or did you not figure it

celebrian

token celebrian token celebrian toen 6

months ago says hi Joey I have been

struggling lately I've been doing all

sorts of things all sorts of thing to

get out of the rut revisiting self-help

books watching inspiring movies talking

to a friend and I have been stuck since

April

2022 it's been more than a year I almost

even started to believe that my whole

existence is to be the fuel for other

people's vision and I should learn to be

content with being the rat in the rat

race damn I just remembered this Channel

and decided to stop by perhaps your

message from the staircase is the last

piece of the puzzle I needed thank you

so much okay so it's not a question it's

just saying that I helped them yeah I

mean this goes back to my first point

guys this the last video I made was

called vision and I was just talking

about how if you don't have a vision for

where you want your life to go then the

world is really really good the modern

world is set up in a way that by default

you will be fulfilling somebody else's

Vision right you can't just opt out of

deciding what you want to do with your

life that being said it doesn't have to

be a perfect vision right A lot of

people get stressed out when I say stuff

like this and they sit in an empty room

trying to think of oh what's the perfect

thing I should do with my life I need to

find my purpose and I need I need to

choose right otherwise my life will go

down the deep end go off the deep end

and I will choose the wrong thing don't

worry about that choose something that

motivates you it can be a small goal or

a big goal as long as it's motivating to

you and you're excited about it if you

think to yourself man that would be so

cool to get there and I can get there

that's perfect and then you figure out

bigger Vision stuff through action and

through getting things done right don't

just sit there and try to pick the

perfect thing and the perfect life

Direction Just aim at something

something that is exciting to you

something that would personally get you

up in the morning and charge into it

right and through doing that there is

your life

purpose I think that's about it guys

there's not a lot of questions here on

my last video but what do I expect I

kind of dropped off the face of the

planet uh moving into my new house and

all of this but things are getting set

up and let me know what you guys want to

see do you guys want to see a house tour

do you guys want to see cooking with

Joey do you want to see some more

self-help Tik Tok React videos do you

want me to start some YouTube drama or

do you want me to just solve all of your

life's problems as if I'm not just a

dude sitting in his house and somehow

I'm some self-improvement Guru who has

all the answers just let me know what

you want to see otherwise you're going

to be be hit with another Joey answers

your questions the show but I have some

ideas of my own to be honest with you so

let me know what you want to see let's

also revive the subreddit this place is

dead uh actually let's check out the

subreddit

here is Joey a professional photographer

for

modri oh okay that's

funny Joey hasn't posted in two months

is everything okay I just noticed that

there hasn't been any new videos for a

long long time and I'm starting to worry

does anybody know about anything or is

he just taking his time tesmo 1 says he

did post pictures on the better ideas

Instagram that is true you can't surf

Lake said he's getting lazy

JK hopefully some more videos soon

nefarious D says based on his Instagram

I think he's on vacation somewhere and

verasso

ver what says if I remember correctly he

did say he wanted to rest you know it's

a combination of all these things but

I'm glad you guys are looking out for me

the truth

is you know I I'm in a new build I don't

have a kitchen I don't have a shower uh

I've been making do but those things are

getting finished up my house is shaping

up to be productivity Central film

making and art

making

Valhalla and and I'm really excited

about it and the reason why it's taking

a long time is because I want to do it

right I want to make sure this place is

a monument to counteract degeneracy and

Thrive and just be the best version of

me and I also just want it to be dope

and I want to invite family and friends

over so we can watch Cinema and have a

good time and cook steaks on the

barbecue on the back deck Multicultural

sociopath said possible counterfeit

merch Joey needs to sue these guys

better ideas Creator spring

um what are what are some of the

reactions to this link to the real store

okay well you know what's funny is this

is the real store but um I appreciate

the concern but this old store is

actually my old store this Creator

better ideas Creator spring so I will

not be suing myself but I should take

this down because this is outdated merch

and I completely forgot this existed um

but I think it still works so if you buy

something from here you will get merch

it's kind of like Legacy merch to be

honest with you um so yeah not a scam

but also outdated I would go to better

ideas.com or better idea or

international. better ideas.com if

you're an international person and not

from North America or Canada no North

North America or Canada right four

months ago he said no sentence

4173 when is his next video coming I'd

like to work on something similar to the

better idea Style I don't have his

recording or editing skills but I like

the style and want to help people also

when is his next video coming Jeep guy

3199 says I think that's great I got no

idea when his next video is coming out

but if you want to start making your own

videos to help people then start off by

telling a story or what people want to

hear or something entertaining such as

an anecdote story or past experiences

then say the advice then leave with

something powerful like a question

something for the viewer to think about

you know that's that's a better

structure than all of my videos I think

you uh secretly know the answer to the

better ideas formula and how to succeed

on YouTube Jeep guy so that was just

really good advice I have nothing to

add Joey knows what he's talking about

young homeless man shares real truth

about

sleeping how to be miserable for the

rest of your life when your custom

avatar appears in a cut

scene love it okay guys if you want to

answer a question or if you want a

question answered and you want to ask a

question or if you want to just make me

laugh and appear on the next episode of

Joey answers your questions the show

then head on over to rea.com r/b better

ideas and post something funny like

making fun of how I look like this well

you know what that's mean of me I'm not

by posting this photo and saying that I

look like this guy and for me to say

you're making fun of me

that reflects poorly on this man

here cuz if he was Brad Pit I would say

you're flattering me so by saying you're

making fun of me by looking at this guy

that has a bad

implication all right guys that's about

it occupy the

subreddit and uh drop memes not

Bombs over and out
