28:25 "All the videos that I make, completely sober" *has had a million cups of coffee, hands are shaking like he's injected pure caffeine into his system*

We’ve missed these!!!! I have, in fact, been waiting on the edge of my seat since February. It was pretty uncomfortable.

What a great episode! Edit: Peter spoke about smoking weed, and also about having diarrhea. I have done both of those things today. ❤️

Peter, thanks for talking openly with your relationship to substances. It's definitely helpful for destigmatization, which is helpful for everyone! I feel a kinship for the specific type of doodle-drawing that you do as a more experienced version of where I'd hope my art to be. We inspire one another to be better. Sending good vibes!

You speaking about your emotions and what you do (smoke weed, drink coffee) is super vulnerable and I personally really appreciate you talking about these things

People with ADHD brains tend to self-medicate either via chemical means (e.g. stimulants like caffeine or other drugs like THC) or behavioral means (e.g. impulsive spending, gambling, extreme sports) . I was personally obsessed that I seemingly couldn't be as productive as my peers, even though I was working so hard all the time. I would worry about getting stuff I "needed" or "should" do all the time, struggled to do it, but would easily dump endless amounts of hours into new interests and hobbies (obsessions). Even if it was as an adult, learning about the actual hand I've been dealt in terms of brain chemistry was a big help. I would encourage others that struggle with those things to look into what ADHD actually is, not the cultural caricature most people think of.

Meditation, brother. Mindfulness meditation. Yt it and just start slow. 5-15 min in the a.m. and work your way up. It changed my life when I cleaned up from drugs and booze. Just an idea. I love you all.

Man, today I was just feeling miserable. I fell asleep at 2 am, woke up at 11 am, and I can barely get myself to do anything productive. It is raining, so I suppose that limits my options. BUT seeing this video made me so happy. Love listening to you talk. Normally, I don’t have the patience, but for your commentaries, I wish they would never end!

Hello Peter. Walking is measured in hours, not minutes - a quote I heard that stuck with me. Especially out of the city and in nature, you can't but slow down to her pace. The chatter does fade away.

This was an unexpected banger dropped to bright up my day!

Classic Peter quotes: "Turns out, I don't care about accountability", and " I'm so much better at getting into bad habits than good ones". These could go on t-shirts.

The talkining is back baby!

Lots of your friends and fans and followers are here right now with you Peter, and we love you and want you to be happy. If only there was something You could tune into and watch for an hour every now and then, to feel comforted and befriended and understood, maybe accompanied by some good art and funny ideas, and honest talk between like-minded people. We all have that in you Peter, so thank you for being what we all need. I hope you can allow yourself to feel good about what you do

Shallots are onions that went to private school

Thank you so much Peter for making these podcast episodes and opening up about your struggles. Im not glad you're going through them but theres is something comforting and encouraging hearing you talk about them. I hope you're doing very well these days!

Its watching your videos that give me the confidence in my drawings, my art teachers really destroyed it because I wanted to do what I love. Now I'm an animation student at university, and you where one of the people that gave me my confidence to get here, so I cant say thank you enough 😊 To anyone reading this small comment, do what you want, just because someone might not like your work doesn't mean that its not beautiful or amazing. Art shines best when its made with passion and love. Keep drawing 🦋

On the cannabis situation: Yeah it sounds relatable, you talked about finding balance earlier and how you could never really find it, so naturally the goal would be to moderate cannabis use, and neither smoke all the time nor completely cease use, as both of these would be an obvious imbalance, even to the practice of smoking itself. I would say keep on smoking if it helps you manage stress levels, and don’t be too down on yourself that you ‘have to use drugs’ to achieve this, none of us are perfect, and perhaps this is nothing more than just one of your personal flaws, the inability to regulate stress. Whatever choice you choose to make, the point should be to make it without doubt, fear or worry. Best of luck for the future in regards to this. Love the videos ❤️ ~ Someone who is high right now.

Thank you so much for talking about your experience with weed as an artist from a REALISTIC standpoint. I hate how glorified and demonized it gets in a lot of content and I can relate to a lot of what you said. It's nice hearing one of my favorite creators talk about weed in a healthy way that I don't hear a lot.

Thanks for sharing your lively struggles, Peter. Appreciate you.

Since Feb roo rarry. Long time fan, Peter. I appreciate you, your art and your outlook on life. You're a true artist and quite funny. Dont ever stop!!!

Peter, almost every night i listen to your podcasts to fall asleep, they’re very calming. thanks for these lovely podcasts!

Thankyou. You help me so much with your art and words.

Thank you for sharing what's going on! I re-booked a session with my therapist as well! These updates definitely help me feel less alone in quarantine!

AT LAST A NEW PODCAST FROM THE LOVELY PETER DRAWS! I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THAT HE ONLY MAKES A NEW ONE WHEN HE FEELS LIKE IT. GREETINGS FROM LOCKED-DOWN GERMANY. I LOVE YOU TOO, PETER!

I so appreciate your authenticity

Thank you for speaking so openly about your experiences with weed. was completely unexpected but welcomed and i hope that you get through your journey with things you can keep.

I love peters content free stuff. So great. Thankyou

OMG SEASON 1 IS ALMOST DONE, 24 hours of Peter draws content free podcast here we come

YAY! WE LOVE YOU PETER!

I have worked in multiple coffee shops and I can confirm, nobody knows what those words actually mean or refer to.

Hi Peter! Yes, these are great! 😁🥰👍

I missed these. It made my week seeing this pop up. Thank you 🙏🏻

Yessss this is what I needed today, man. Thanks for letting us into your bubble a little bit, Peter. We dig you. Your vids help ME relax and let go. Cheers to you, brother.

This made my day Peter, in a way it was my own little counseling session, listing to you talk about your life helps me figure out mine

Best kind of podcast

Just need an update on the accordion sketch book next and my life will be complete, Thanks Peter

Dude, I do my best art when I am high...it puts me in a zone. Some cant smoke and be productive, some can. I am about to graduate with my AS in Graphic Design and 3D Animation and I work a 30 hr a week job, and smoke weed EVERYDAY. I am 43 years old too, and raised my daughter to become Valedictorian and is now attending UF....so I dont wanna hear about getting tired or weed makes you lazy. We are lazy if we let ourselves be lazy. Love the art and your talking...it soothes me out while I smoke and be creative. All other drugs suck in my opinion including alcohol!

So happy these are back! I've been re-listening to all the old episodes for months now

Hi Peter. I really enjoy watching you doodle and listening to you ramble. I also draw or color when watching television etc. I hope you're having a lovely day. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's okay to give yourself a break sometime. If you ever get to Cleveland, Ohio let me know. We have a great Art Museum !

peter i find it super funny that you're someone that is an artist that didn't go to art school yet you're struggling to understand how a chef doesn't have to go to culinary school

Peter, I totally understand your struggle, I feel the same about my pot intake. Thanks for sharing, it's what I needed to hear. I started smoking for the pain relieving properties and it just snowballed into a daily routine. Ugh I need to quit

Peter, I absolutely love the "drawing my feelings" videos. If I am going through depression flare-ups I watch those, and it is so therapeutic and meditative for me. I have long wanted to get one or a couple of those little drawings tattooed (with your permission), that's how meaningful those videos are to me. Don't feel pressured into making more, but know that they are seriously loved.

Never clicked so fast. Should be able to get at least 5 sleeps out of this

Thank you for dropping this video today my friend. I love this series, especially for when I create art, and today felt like the perfect day for one of these! Turns out the universe aligned and you provided me a new one to watch on this day! I hope that you and everyone you care about has been doing ok

Heck yes! My man's back

I can really relate with overworking and not being able to take a break. I really appreciate you posting this! You are not alone! It is hard to find balance in life.

After listening to this I appreciate you so much more as an individual and not just this internet persona

THANK GOD FOR ANOTHER EPISODE 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Peter! Great video as always. I have used alcohol and food to feel better. When I looked at why I stopped, it was seeing the consequences of my behavior. I didn't want to drink everyday, or to have to buy larger clothes. I try to deal with my anxiety/depression now with healthier habits, like reading, sewing or riding my stationary bike. Sitting outside in the sun is also good for me.

I'm so happy! About to go now the lawn and listen to my favorite podcaster.

Cool you can open up and be so honest with us Peter, really appreciate all you do. By the way, I hope Dan is doing well after the recent move too

Your channel is a godsend. I totally lost my creative flow but watching your videos inspired me to get back in to my beloved nonsense doodling! :D

When I watch you draw sometimes I’m like “oh no it looks so good don’t add that!” Or “wow that was a great idea” it’s cool to see how everyone thinks differently and I like the way you draw

1:01:00 I told you Peter that was my comment lol love this uninterrupted podcast really love to listen to you when I’m drawing

I love weed! I smoke it when I do art, I smoke it when I cook, I smoke it when I wake up, I smoke it when I work, I smoke it before I go to bed, I eat it too. I'm high right now! I love your videos so much! 💚💚😁😁💚💚

This one felt so honest. Love it Peter

Hey, I appreciated the weird tangent! Don't be embarrassed by it, it actually helped me out to hear you talk about it.

This has to be my favourite podcast. Sure had to wait for it, but I think it really paid off. Thanks, Peter. I enjoyed you being puzzled by the drama/cooking show and 100 % agreed with you about Dark. I think I would be better off stop watching after season one and just keep thinking about it all. The credits to that were an undisputed masterpiece. Also, about your work situation - for a long time I had the same problem, but I figured that if I set a goal for the day, then after completing it I would feel like I earned my time to rest and I wouldn't beat myself up for it. I really enjoy when you think aloud about something, it truly is a joy to follow your thoughts. I guess the way you think is really interesting to follow. I'm looking forward to the next one, feel free to take your time.

I used to be high 24/7. I quit smoking around 7 years ago but I also don't know how to relax/not be productive. It's a skill... Recently we got a Quest 2 VR headset and I find it helps me zone out and relax to use Netflix Void Theatre. I thought I'd leave a comment in case that may help you too! You can do it, Peter. You can quit and hone your relaxation skills. Best wishes!

I can’t smoke weed, it makes me so tense and paranoid. I also was not able to do anything mainly because I was so physically tense. I understand why you don’t like weed, I don’t like it either. Also don’t feel bad about the granola, it’s marketed as a “healthy food” but it’s not. Just pay attention to how your body feels, if it’s making you consistently feel bad don’t eat it anymore. Thank you for making another podcast, this one was very interesting, although I think most of you podcast are interesting, but anywho I really enjoyed this one.

Perfect company at 3am when sleep is elusive. Thanks Peter ❤

I agree with the cannabis sentiment. I would work all day, work all night then smoke a bit and fall asleep, repeat. I hate being idle, I can't relax, I suck at vacations. I'm stuck between work and burnout most of the time. I don't know what the balance is. I love getting obsessed and pushing the limits, I don't switch gears very well, my mind gets stuck on one thing and I'm a constant overthinker. This is probably why it's easy to relate to you. I recently have laid off cannabis and it has highlighted how I just use work in the same way, to escape, but I don't know what I'm running from. Thanks for the videos! It's more than just the awesome art, you rock.

Your best podcast yet!!!!! Thanks Peter ;)

Another refreshingly honest and funny video from Peter! Thank you :)

i love your podcasts, the only thing that help me sleep ♡ i have to rewatch them over and over im pretty sure i can speak them word for word haha, thanks for a new one dude

Hey peter, a quick tip in terms of feeling like you can't relax and take time for yourself without getting high, I just wanted to stop by and recommend you try CBD. It is a part of the Marijuana plant, that doesn't get you high. I take it for pain, anxiety, and depression and it helps a lot with me mainting a better balance with the important things in life. Before I started taking it I would stress myself, and try to complete overwhelming ammounts of school work. I fell out of love with my hobbies. I quit drawing, quit guitar, and hadn't talked to my friends in months. After taking it it had a considerable effect on my mood, anxiety, and focus, helping me restore a balance between work and play. If you do decide to try it, I recommend full spectrum cbd, which does have .03% of THC in it, but it is infinitesimal overall, and not enough to get you high. It's important to research proper dosing In my expierience it's easier to under-do it that to over-do it. But it greatly helps me without having any high what so ever.

I had the same experience with one year of college and dropping out after the first week of the new semester... Covid really fucked it up for me. It's really comforting that I'm not the only one who went through that. Just discovered this podcast but I already enjoy it a lot. Thank you :)

I love watching and listening while doodling, if I’m stuck on what to do I can sorta get inspiration from whatever you’re doing

I literally just woke up, time to go make some tea and ✨ listen ✨ woohoo

I think you are doing a really good job peter. I stopped smoking weed when I started to differentiate between my sober self and high self. When I got high I would feel sad for my sober self who would have to make up for how useless I was when high. It’s been 2 years now Take it easy

Never anything but an enjoyable watch thankyou🌍😷🇦🇺👍

I love the way he says "drawing" lol

You should consider getting yourself a little dog. Some one to take care of that will love you unconditionally. You will have to get up in the morning to take him for a walk, you would be walking and they are great for meeting people.

Peter I love your long videos, I listen at night while sleeping.. very calming. Nice pen!

Good podcast; good content. Thank you. 👍🏻

hey thanks for talking about your relationship with weed. i’ve been in and out of struggling with it as well and it’s really helpful to hear you talk about it in a realistic way that is neither glorifying it or demonising it. i’m in a good place with it at the moment but your thoughts on it kind of made me realise how much i wasn’t okay at other times when i thought i was. i hope you are able to find out how to make it work best for you. good luck and thank you for your honesty and your videos in general 💕

Yessssss!!! I love these podcasts so much.❤️

Totally happy to see these back Peter, happy you do it on your own time too. I’m hoping to eventually see some twitch streams again too.

I work on an oil rig, and your right, some of them are floating. The one I'm on is a floater obviously anchored when we drill. It's my mission now to make the transition to drill for ink, that's a cool idea. I don't do weed any more, but used to alot back in the day. It had the opposite effect on me though, become very focused and fixated and able to still function quite well. Great drawing Peter, love your work!!

Hmmm...i would have never thought you smoked cannabis. I quit 100 days ago with meditation and drawing! 👽

I drink two cups in the morning, I drink two cups at night, I drink two cups in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright, I drink two cups in time of peace, And two in time of war, I drink two cups before I drink two cups and then I drink two more.

I would absolutely love a new take on the 'drawing your feelings'/stream of consciousness short-form drawings

The all or nothing bit reminded me of myself and my struggles with adhd. I always have to complete something in one sitting or I won't do any of it... I'll start many pieces of artwork and never finish them because I lost my motivation. Or for assignments, I'll start something and then get so panicked by how terrible the process is, i'll put it off.. then it's due soon and I end up doing like 2 weeks worth of work in one night. ☹️ Not every single time, but it happens too often. During the whole process, I know how important it is and how much I want to finish the artwork or assignment but I'll do literally anything else before. I'm not sure if I'm adding anything of substance here. I hope whoever is reading this has a nice day or night! 💖

I've been binge listening to these on sound cloud. When I work/drive anything I listen. Im on ep 17, im excited to catch up to 23 but then I don't want to wait months to hear another episode!! Its okay though, ill wait for Peter so he can do tons of things and then forget about all the things he's done, favorite podcast, keep it up man

Hi Peter, I really enjoyed this talk and found myself relating to your drug or weed, I guess, "issue". It's really difficult to have a desire you want in the back of your mind while being checked out on a substance. Stimulants that add to how you feel, often times making you feel better, but the situation is not better. At first it seems to work for a bit, but as you see the situation doesn't change and only another factor is added, the true, and almost deeper reality hits you as you begin to realize this drug doesn't really help all too much and you're still pretty damn stuck, feeling almost as or even worse. But having a good conversation and break can help to clear your mind and start on a better track.

This was perfect.

Don't do what you don't want. You're right. The content will suffer, bc you won't be into what you're doing. Just do what you want and I will enjoy. I say "I" bc I can't speak for others, but I can say that I'm pretty sure they'd agree. Keep up the good work.

I am going through a very similar weed situation myself, and I must say this video was really good to hear specifically knowing that there others going through a similar situation made me feel a little less paranoid about my own? if that makes sense. Keep doing what you’re doing brother I love your content.

one more till the fabled twenty four! (pod cast)

Always wanting to work ! Damn that's a gift.

Hey Peter, I commend you on your introspection and I encourage you to keep doing so! I believe that everyone needs balance in their lives. I have read of theories that profess the instigation of cancer has come from excessive use of substances! Be they foods, drugs, even bodily actions! Kinda out there, but it makes ya think! Drugs are not bad or good they preform a function and your use or abuse of them determines how your body functions while taking them. Caffeine is a drug and why some are against coffee! You must do you, I believe that only you can determine your own desires and you will be the master of your own life. WoW, out there a bit but I am glad you are doing this podcast and I hope that you will continue to create your art and sharing your views with us in video and audio forms. Please take care and be safe out there.

Life will always give us curveballs but you gotta keep your head forward. Keep trying and you'll do good

Loved this episode Peter! Thought I could share some insight. I work for a specialty coffee roaster! The tasting notes you’re talking about are all standardized words from the Specialty Coffee Tasting Wheel! Words like ‘Round’ are actually standard words we all have agreed on to use within the industry. As you get deep into it, they actually make a whole lot of sense! A key to remember is they’re all meant to compare to other Coffee rather than other flavors. I actually know a few people at Counter Culture they’re an awesome crew!

I appreciate you for talking about your personal issue, I some what relate to what you are going throw too. I smoke weed to just rest, and I think I need to stop too because I don't want to rely on this so I can just rest.

I've never been this early! What a great morning 🌄

I LOVE THESE!!! I am so excited

This is what I live for I wouldn't trade anything for Peter's videos. Also congrats on almost 1 million subs!

Cool linework! I'm a fan.

Peter, I can relate to so many things you say regarding creativity, substances, pacing etc. I never really cared whether one's alone with their thoughts or not, but now I do, partially thanks to you and your stream. This one was really a punctuation what I've been feeling for a while. Thank you for being there! Also, I like your works. All the best

I struggle with letting myself rest as well- it's especially hard when you're an artist because you can do work at home at any time, rather than having a job out of the house where you specifically go to work. When you are able to work from home it makes you feel like you're on the clock all the time, or SHOULD be on the clock all the time. I've found a good way to combat that is to plan out work times and rest times a week in advance. Then when I rest I know it's not just me being lazy, it's a time I specifically scheduled for rest. Another thing that helps is taking yourself on dates to go to the book store or window shop or just an aimless drive. That takes you out of the house so you can't even be tempted to work. I know you didn't ask for advice and forgive me if this is crossing a boundary, but I hope that you can get some use out of the things that helped me! Good luck and we all love and support you
