He's an exhibitionist lol

😂

What??? Is that happening?? No no no no

🐰

That sounds glorious

I swear to god i read this on /b/ circa 2012 the wax one is so familiar

@@joshuabrant3487 I also remember these same stories on /b/ around that time

That's kind of how all Palahniuks books are, come to think of it hahaha

In middleschool my englisch wouldn't have been good enuff.

😀

Lol whoops, I was that teen... 🤣

​@@ModernMedusa me too 😭

Exactly where I stopped, exaclty what I said.

hes infectious :)

its 2 am, gotta go to sleep and I wanted to stop at 11 min so I can continue tomorrow. thank you

TWU

Baron Dragonfruit Not even kidding. I’m terrified

I went into this blind and holy fuck I wish I was prepared

I'm still clenching!

Me too man

HAHAHAAH this is a masterpiece

Nathan Walters Yeah I’ve seen and heard some fucked shit, the pool bit ranks really high

Retards holden there breath..

I still don't understand how people can faint just from listening to that story or reading it.

@@hopeackley9489 Probably trying to imagine themselves in the same situation, and then proceeding to not be able to handle it

His comic timing is priceless. If he wasn't a writer he could be an extraordinary actor.

Ha ha ha ha 😂

I haven't laughed like that since grade school.

I was just thinking that the way he recites these stories are very Bateman esque

@@jason4real252 I see what you did there you clever slumped sad feller

It's easy to hear him read it than read it myself

So sweet of you!

That's a great way to put it.

On the printed page, it is just white and black areas. How could one pattern of black dots make such a difference?

I don't judge you, but I found the story kind fun. I visualize it and feel the pain through my imagination too. the experience is fun because I have to overcome the feeling. That's sort of fun. when you take repulsive thoughts and put them into a narrative that has a sense of beauty, it turns into a joke, which is the key to getting past terrible moments. It's good that you keep trying to get past it. Fears should be conquered.

​@@ericjacobsen6901 Computer stuff is made by 1's and 0's, but look at what they can come up to... Words open doors in our minds, that can, sometimes unwillingly, open doors in our body and emotions.

Haunted is such a great read, no matter how many times I read it, I'm still horrified and intrigued x

Yeah my stomach started hurting a bit i swear

It was even worse when he told it on Rogan. Left me speechless for a moment.

When is he telling that brownie story?

@@memy4460 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j91pqcqq0ZeZpHk.html Here's the video when he told it to Joe Rogan. The story starts at 9:50

Sadly because of what her mother did to her she was never able to orgasm again.

Yeah this crowd wasn’t properly prepped to realize that he wasn’t telling a joke about the young girl. It’s actually way sad, but the crowd was on a different wavelength. Maybe that’s the reason that actual jokes can sound like torturous bigotry to certain people; people who aren’t properly prepped or in the right mindset.

Haha, the pauses are on point, and the silence is deafening

Bloody hell

I know this is a pretty late reply so you probs don't care anymore but the stories in this are based on true stories from his friends and people in a sec addict support group he attended when researching for choke

@Jim Blogs not a bad assessment honestly. Same with Hemingway.

Yeah the climax of the pool bit made me feel a tad nauseous

@Sammy R. you're the first one who said they could handle the pool story

Ya know, it didn’t effect me like apparently some are effected, but then I’ve never done anything so embarrassing or stupid or dangerous. I only listened out of curiosity (the hype) but I got disgusted early in and… well, this was just disgusting. Definitely not funny, definitely not entertaining. I was so empathetically troubled at the description of the accidental teen hanging. Definitely did not add any quality or value to my life.

The first two stories were lube for the carrot that was the third.

Wow thanks 🤩

same i kinda regret it not gonna lie

He told you he was going to tell you the truth. LOL I'm just 13 minutes in still listening.

Laugh 😂 out loud!!!!

Who’s life!?

@@ixlifeg596 well if they are true stories his or someone's

Read haunted recently and had to put the book down and take a breather. The content definitely isn't as bad as a few of the others but guts is truly unique in how casually graphic it is

I think one book that would be impossible to make into a movie would be Haunted. The visuals you get from the book are absolutely insane

damn

Well what the hell were you doing while you were on the toilet, sounding?

@@Odd_Combo Brushing my teeth.

@@AlphsGaming I thought maybe you were messing with a carrot or wax or maybe the flush suction on your butt, hence realizing you were currently making some mistakes being in the toilet.

@@Odd_Combo Nope, just cleaning my teeth and taking a shit.

@@AlphsGaming Sounds yucky! Poop particles in the teeth

I hope so!

haha, how did you like it?

It's been 8 months since i watched this and I'd almost forgotten it. Almost. Thanks for the reminder that exists lol.

Oh my god lol

I hope you forgot the story

it gets much worse

and if you still laughing at one point you probably dont have any Visual imagination i saw all the details !!

I haven't but I will based off that description, cheers!

My copy glows in the dark and I had no idea until I walked into my dark room and it was there laying on the my bed scared the sh*t out of me 😂

I read it once, and had no problem with the subject matter, but the fractured narrative; trying to figure out whose story was whose and what was going on in the framing story, broke my cranium. I should try to read it again.

@@AlexReynard I did find the content shocking but not unbearable. I have to agree, it's hard going, I don't think I really enjoyed it as a whole til the second time around x

my brother was a tour guide at sea world. he said people would always get kicked out for trying to molest dolphins. no lie

I think 'Guts' is a true story. I have a small apartment building with a pool and about 15 years ago I had to have the pool pump reworked because of new regulations put in place because so many children (and maybe adults too, I don't remember) were being drowned from getting stuck to the pump at the bottom of the pool or getting all their guts pulled out. The literature listed statistics that were alarming! This happened a lot! And I couldn’t figure out how such a thing could possibly happen. But they are always passing new regulations, and it was make the changes or fill the pool in. (If I hadn’t had the pool replastered just a few years before, I might have just had it filled in.) Now is the first time I ever understood how those horrible ‘accidents’ happened.

I respect your perseverance

Oh geez Rick, is my colon gonna be ok?

Season 5 with the horse jerk off machine?

bro... respect to you for being able to tell that. insane confidence

He told 3 stories. Not 1.

This ones sumn

the fact that is probably most likely true is the scary part. makes you wonder if certain parts were added for effect (like his sis and her missed period, etc). that seems like a stretch, pun not intended.

Glad I'm not the only one. Hahaha

You guys are some fuckin liars lol, doesnt imagining your intestines pulled out of you while youre concious make you feel weird

@@jorgeo1492 I can only write for myself but no. The thought intrigues me but nothing more. Its best to keep thought and emotion separate.

I’m an ER nurse. I’ve seen worse.

r/jesuschristreddit changes your perspective a little

I sometimes forget how desensitized I have become when all I do is laugh hysterically at this amazing story. A regular person faints.

also, his story about the grand daughter, the grandfather and the bird is a horrifying story that I believe was based on a real story from a writer in his writers group.

@@robosing225 it was censored from an "Oprah" book because it was too provocative. It was too fucked up because that shit happens, and it was too well told. TRUTH hits you in the face like a fist, cold and warm at the same time. Truth is your closest friend, and your worst enemy.

@@uadimwit One of the main reasons why so many people lie to themselves. They invariably create a personal ideology that they believe as "superior" truth to sequester or "force down" actual truth from being known. Fat people telling themselves they are pretty. Seeking others like them, creating an echo chamber of "support" which instead of addressing the actual problem, only covers it with a veil of this false truth. The sayings, "I am beautiful no matter what." or "If they cant accept me for who I am, then they dont deserve me." completely missing the mark of what it means to have actual support and friends who aren't afraid to hurt their feelings with helpful honesty. Instead of realizing that they are fat, they lie so they never seek actual help to mitigate the looming issue of heart disease and other obese complications. So it all depends. To me, there should never be an excuse were lies should be used to tell "truths". Convincing women to wear so much make up you cannot tell the same person apart. Obfuscating Covid data to confuse the masses, created internal contention between people for and against vaccinations. Black on black crimes being fundamentally higher than white on black crimes. Statistical data for how many abortions occur annually without the help of medical intervention. The list goes on and on, and media outlets that perpetuate the false truth to assuage the masses is doing the most harm.

When someone asks for a book suggestion from him i have to think about it. Some wouldn't be able to handle it.

By contrast, I'm watching him read this, and it was 24 minutes in when I realized, 'I have been eating a big plate of nachos this whole time without feeling a twinge.' Not saying I'm super cool or anything, just that I don't think I have any kind of a food-disgust-reflex. The part where he mentions calamari made me kind hungry for it. I think I could eat ravioli while watching an abortion.

Name of this book ?

@@redyoutubeshahtdm730 haunted

I guess we have too much shame just from imagining having something fished out of us in the emergency room lmao. Compared to this story, that kinda sounds like a walk in the park though lol

Right! I don't understand.

True!

Definitely based on events that could happen, I watched a documentary once where it happened to a little girl and had to have multiple surgeries to try and fix it, she survived but was messed up

Were you having pot roast with carrots?

@@dyslexicboogaloo I don't remember, that was 6 months ago 😂😂
