Chris doesn't realize we all feel like that and that's why we watch the podcast, to escape life and laugh for a little bit.

When Chris said "Just years of waste" I completely understood.

Chris is speaking my inner monologue at the start of this podcast

Ian is a great friend to the island boys. Chris you're the man! I relate to you pretty hard and your humor keeps me laughing on my hardest days. I don't know what Tommy or any of us would do without you.

These are the 3 unhinged men I need to remind me I'm not the only crazy one on a tumultuous Wednesday such as this

Productivity (or lack thereof) is something I mentally struggle with too. I always think of the Pink Floyd line, “And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.”

“I suck and I’m mad about it.” My running monologue.

Chris was on one at the beginning of this ep and I'm here for it

These guys are just slow inching closer to their breaking points and it’s A+ content

15mins in and I've never related to anyone on a pod more. Chris is on one and I'm here for it!

Chris working his way around the “but” part might be the funniest thing he’s ever done/said…& he’s said a lot of funny thing.

When I was 30 years old people in my family told me I had depression, I did not believe that or understand that at all because I had fun times and hobbies. Later in my life I realize how obvious it is that I've been living with depression for decades. I believe O'Connor is facing a similar dilemma. He likely has a mild and manageable form of depression and needs to recognize that so it doesn't spiral. Thankfully he has lots of friends and people who care about him in his life. I find him to be so funny and enjoy everything he does. As far as an O'Connor solo podcast, I would like to just see coffee with O'Connor. Where he goes out everyday just for a morning cup of coffee and shares it with us. As simple as that, that will be incredible. Maybe get a photographer. And when people piss him off he can rant about it, or if he's happy he can ponder his happiness. Anyway sorry for the long comment. Love the pod.

One of the few pods that we don't have to skip an intro and plugs right off the bat

"White Trash Lighthouse" would be an awesome band name and definitely a T-Shirt idea!!!

Goddamn, I feel Chris's unhinged depression rant so much. If we don't jump off a bridge first I have hope that we can improve.

the image of oconnies looking out his white trash light house almost made me crash the whip

"I recorded in a closet and lived in a a attic" 😂😂😂

Ian is such a great genuine guy I feel like he brings out the best in people. Love this!

YEAR OF THE KNIFE ! hell yeah Ian.

Chris’s pause after him saying “the internet got me” is too great

Tommy and Finance are totally gonna bang after this episode. Chris is gonna go to his room and drink and sulk and Ian's head is gonna be banging against the wall in the room next door. 🤣

Chris doing volunteer work reminds me of Paul Rudd on Rolemodels

Dude 5 day sober sponge is sick as fuuuuuck 😂

"All those virgins...they come geared up." Hysterical.

Hell Yeah! You just got Fidanced! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Tommy: "You ran a white trash lighthouse." 🤣

Dude, Chris. Get yourself a pair of new skates, some gloves and a stick. Seriously. I hung up the blades for a few years and when I got back out there it all made sense again.

God damn that rant around the 19min mark had me fucking dieing!!!😂😂 Looking out the window like a spector haaha

Damn do I ever feel O'Connies on this one. Also, Tommy's comment on the gym is spot on.

Cousin Ian is the best, his podcast Bein' Ian is absolutely bonkos it's so fuckin funny. Hope you fellas had a good time over the holidays, congrats on the success of the podcast I've been following ya since day one and loving the show✌️ *Chris I know how you feel dude and I hope you get out of the slump soon. You've got an excellent support group of friends and I hope you don't shy away from leaning on them when you're feeling the monotony of life. Much love dude🙏

YEAH BABY NEW FIDANCE!!! LOVE YOU BOYS!!

I love the energy Ian brings to each and every podcast.

The Dark Sponge Rises

The most consistently happy part of my week is when I see the Wednesday notification that a new stuff island dropped

Ian looks like Squints from sandlot with that hat backwards

chris i live in iran and dodging bullets every morning in my way to work , you have it great my friend

Tommy's shirt is incredible! These fellas are awesome

This episode features Ian going on an unhinged rant on how people use therapy incorrectly, then him saying “MYOB” mind your own business, classic Fidance 😂

This eppy poppped off holy fuck 😭😂

i already know this is gonna be a great episode, fuck therapy! im so fucking healed

Oh my God is Mr. O'Connor okay?

in madrid spain for new years freaking love these boys. stay up muh guy wherever you are.

Incredible episode! Started out ⛈️with a storm of emotions and ended with the snuggle of a robe. Great episode🙌🏽

I would love to see Chris on the Lex Fridman podcast, I feel like it would be an amazing conversation. He’d meet an intellectual match to get into his analysis of the world. It’d be gold.

Chris do your own pod. damn let this man vent

another slam dunk boiz

Tommy and Ian's joyous hug while standing directly in front of a suicidal O'Connie is simply hilarious.

needed this ep this week. good shit.

My favorite part about this show is that it gives me an hour to just laugh and not think about life for a little bit. Keep up the good work!

This was deep

This podcast is great when your down.

Around 12.45 in to the show is why I love this pod. About this time watch how both Ian and Tommy lean in to actually hear what Cris is saying because they both really care and that's why I feel that this group of guys that moved down to Texas and the other bro's/dawgs , that they are different than other comedians. I know money is the main attraction but with these guys they want you to succeed with them and they don't freaking care if you make more or any of the BS . It feels like they know the money's going to come and the bigger their group is when comedy starts to come back to earth, the better in the long run they all will be. Sorry for the essay and 8 know this is an old pod but this was one of those pods when you get to see " the why" of it all . Thanks for a great podcast. Started watching Gillis stayed for The Shaman but ended up watching Tommy Pope and Cris O'Connell for an hour and loving every second of it . I watch you guys while I'm a work at the Port of Anchorge because it feels SOOOOOO good getting paid to laugh my ass off most of my shift.

Chris "im getting goosebumps from the realness" O'Connor

If I had to guess I think a permanent routine would help being "productive". Starting the day off right gives you momentum to tackle your goals for the day. I bet a lot of comedians struggle with this due to their work schedule. Take Sam Hyde's advice. If your work is as a self employed creative, you would be wise to approach your job in the same way a blue collar worker does

Ian is off his rocker it's amazing

100% would watch in the closet with Chris or his movie reviews! Motivate the conman tommy!

Chris is ready to escape the matrix

I feel you Chris. I appreciate you speaking honestly

Met Ian in Austin when he opened for Attell. A gem.

What an epic cast

Alot of anger in this one

Great episode to listen to while working through the night and pain from a car accident. I needed some PMA.

29:05 they almost touch tips on that hug 😂😂😂

Ian looks like the wild thornberries

Can we revisit the language conversation we had in the first Ian episode ?

Shane: Everything you guys are saying is gay. Matt: Yeah, but it's pretty sick.

The way this man has outbursts then the voice impression and high energy. Reminds me of dice in a way lol

52:00 found this out the hard way on NYE lol. Decided to drink again for the first time in over a year and completely fucked my Sunday up. It was a perfect reminder though why I stopped in the first place.

Does anyone else see Chris as their evil spirit animal?

Tommy your Wiki is fine. Nothing about your Delaware Job. Angry O'Connor is funny 😂

Been listening since the beginning. This is one funny ass podcast

Yo, I know Ian's a hardcore fan, so it's not exactly a big deal for him to be wearing a band shirt, but definitely shout out that Year of the Knife tee.

Robe Chris made my whole year

The pens just blew a 4-0 lead to the shitty Red Wings so I'm totally on O'Connor's vibe right now. Not sure if I'm supposed to use the 2nd or 3rd hole on my belt when I hang myself.

Nailed it with the KZfaq search.

We need O'Connor live from the Closet podcast back

The McCuskers vs Stuff Island and Ian in Paintball 👀

Damn, I can't believe how "sober" Ian is with his caffeine and nicotine and crazy textin thumbs! 😆

The ConnMan shitting on himself is my therapy.

Morning pizza and night pizza 🤣🤣🤣 *The best meds available*

Chris is so lost Ian could easily convince him he’s gay

Good stuff!....island

My bday is New Years Eve as well and it is a shitty day to do a birthday party since people have their own plans. I definitely relate to so much of what he said and am an alcoholic whos life imploded whenever i end up using/drinking.

50:54 O'Connor looking like a mom on Christmas morning

God that Everest bit made me laugh

O’ Connie’s pissed the fuck off is my spirit animal

Year of the knife 🔥🔥🔥

Shout out Spud Shout out Billy 🌈💵

Fun podcast jeez

Ian’s YOTK shirt is top notch.

The dawgs!

Ian still hunting and pecking that keyboard... Swipe like a grown up already

Imagine, a huge ass boat.

8:13 Tommy🤣

We need the old ocontacts back baby the first few episodes had me dying. Even if it’s just on the paytch.

The first thing i'd do is stop drinking for a couple months. You can't drug yourself regularly with a depressant and then wonder why you're depressed. I've never been more depressed and anxious in my life than the time I was drinking heavy.

Goddammit I fully love Ian now, was already like 3/4ths of the way there but after only 10 minutes into him dropping nothin but hot facts, sheeiiiit

Shout out Ian. Thank you.

get chris a couple lax sticks and have a toss w him tom

Chris do the movie reviews, that'd be cool. Everyone doin em is corny bullshit nerdy crap. It'd be nice to hear reviews from a real person.
