Same !

Yeah, that ending hit hard.

So glad I always read the comments first

@@eyesyc dont let this deter you from listening. Its a great episode, trust me

Yes! This was an amazing episode. Was listening to it while working on one of my servers and had to stop so I could pay attention to the story.

For real !

Definitely cutting onions on this episode

Professional Victim

@@ogamibirdflu5152 Missing your mother that died of cancer is not playing victim. Damn troll

Same! I went from 😅 to 😢 to 🥹

Yeah, I’m that guy you described, the one without a mother that loves him. She was mentally ill and abandoned me at 8. Im 46 now and let’s just say its been a hell of journey.

​@@ogredev Keep going pal.

Not always. Too many different things to consider really, some people do well and some do that.

We all get through this man :)

Watched everything already 😂 have to wait for new episodes to drop now

Welcome to the home of hacks

I know the narrator is closer to 40, but sometimes he sounds like he's 14. That's probably the only thing I'd tweak.

​@@user-lv1id5wz9g wait till you learn that there's more on Spotify and all of what you see here is Jack moving over older content every other week! 😊 there's more to hear unless you've seen all that already!

Prisons here should be illegal especially the private prison industry

​@@christenw.1726 It just proves that we are not individuals, but rather commodities.

If either one of you grow up in my neighborhood, you wouldn’t say that

@@THEMAX00000 you realize in part that your neighborhood looks like that because of the privatization of prisons right? They have bed counts. Those beds need numbers. If the beds aren't filled - that's money lost. That's why you've got lots of young men, particularly young black men that have zero father figure at home - weve incentivized throwing people in cages. Not because we care about crime, not for some great moral reason - but because someone, somewhere, needed another 27$ a day (your rate of value will vary state to state). Growing up fatherless in turn makes you statistically far more likely to end up in a prison yourself. It's a system that feeds itself and shts out broken people more likely, not less to end up back there sooner rather then later. I'm sorry your neighborhood sucks man. It's not fair. Mine isn't the nicest either and I do get it. I understand despising gangs and a culture that promotes violence and stupidity. But you've also gotta ask yourself where all that started ... and it started with prisons and failed education.

How did you manage to deal with losing her...?

​@@brandonm.4966 Time heals, man. Focus on work and other things... We grieve as we heal, and heal as we move on. Eventually the pain lessens, as we focus on the happy memories. God Bless Bro.🙏

@@brandonm.4966 I am blessed to have had it happen during a time in my life that I am mentally sturdy. More so than when I was younger. Same pain no matter what. I had to lean on my wife at times. It was a big reminder that time always ticks. It lit a fire under me to start the things I kept putting off and to be a better person for the people around me. I accepted love, which was the important thing. Without it I would have sunk into a major depression. I still am processing. I don't think it completely goes away so accepting that gives some relief. I allowed myself time to fully grieve. I took hikes alone. I prayed for love over her soul and for our family. I wasn't a religious man at the time, but it helped more than I expected. Allowing the space. It was and still is hard, but it gets easier with time. Just remember to stay towards light and love. Be strong for your family. Be someone they can rely on during that time. I hope this helps you, or anyone that needs to read the message. God bless!

Thanks for sharing this hilarious, yet painful story. Right in the feels, man.😭
