Omg, I know it’s only 52 minutes, but thank you so much for interrupting my random scrolling. I’m trying to go to sleep and my pillows are just not working tonight

Even after so many years your narrative skills get better and better each video, it's impressive. Thanks for another great one mate!

I thought the Leb was going to offer him rehab instead of money 😂

Story 2- boy I do not miss being an active junkie. I have been sober nearly 6 years now, got married to a wonderful woman who has no idea what that life entails other than what she knows of my past, I manage a team for target, we have a nice place , and I was able to rebuild all the bridges I torched. And I am so thankful for that; while I never would’ve hurt another human for money or dope. But hearing the OPs misadventures for it make me so happy I am sober.

That third story was really good. It would make a good movie.

In story 1 the writer has to remember that it's ok to love ur dad. But u must protect ur own self. I would slowly introduce myself and do some research on him first

Story 3 felt like it straight up belonged in a spy thriller movie. Imagine seeing that king's shilling left on the desk... goosebumps! Joel never misses with these narrations. Thanks for another banger, mate!
