Welcome to the comedy podcast for depressed folk. As with all my greatest stories, "it began with a girl" The classic story of Sartini uses Tinder. Sartini meets girl. Sartini and girl go to a bar. There may or may not be drugs at said bar and the bar may or may not sponsor a massive orgy amongst drag queens and the bar may or may not be on fire. This is one of my favorite tales and it is my hope you enjoy the occasion as much as I was made uncomfortable by it. Enjoy - Sartini ✌

Welcome to another episode of the comedy podcast, for depressed folk. Here’s what’s on my mind today: While I personally love Vietnamese food, my stomach does not. And, stomach issues tend to be a problem, when you happen to be 64 stories atop a skyscraper in a massive nightclub, partying like you’re going to die the next day. Hey, maybe I will actually die, if I don’t find a bathroom. Once in the bathroom, my bowels explode and the usual feeling of death washes over me. In a panicked rage, I open my phone, praying to find anything to read to take my mind away from the shits. So, I find a copy of the Dao De King, and begin to read. In those moments of shitting my stomach clean of the recent goat dinner, I realize my purpose and know exactly who I need to become. Enjoy

Welcome to another podcast for depressed folk. Here's what's on my mind today: It Is the beginning of the journey, my second day in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I traveled here for stability. But how is stability gained, and how is change made? "Who do I want to become?" "What personality do I tap into?" "What should I do next?" These thoughts race through my mind. I am entirely scared that I'll return to my usual habits of parties and women. I am entirely scared that I'll fail to become someone new or fall into a hell of chaos once more. Maybe, if I talk it through, I'll find an answer, any answer

I’ve arrived in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. I haven’t slept in 2 or three days, and can’t form coherent sentences, but here we are. Today, we speak of depression and insomnia - where it all began. “Who do I want to be? Who do I become? What path do I walk now?” - all questions I ask in this episode. Enjoy

Welcome to another comedy podcast for depressed people. Now, that I’ve graduated college, I have two options: A. Move into New York City, get a job in podcasting, while I party at the most exclusive night clubs in the city and date models. B. Move to a third world country, leaving everything I have, living in abject poverty, and making internet content, while trying my best not to die. The answer was simple: option B. My thesis is that, if I can devote my life to the pursuit of doing what is interesting, I’ll be able to create the most entertaining stories and monetize my content. My plane leaves for Vietnam in 6 hours. These are my final thoughts. Enjoy.

Welcome to a comedy podcast for depressed people. Today is less of humor and more of a discussion. We’re talking about suicide. Not only will I rely stories of why I personally ponder suicide often, but why I feel you might as well. No, this isn’t a podcast listing the top tips on how to overcome the urge to kill yourself or reasons why life is an endlessly happy existence which, if only you can think positive thoughts, could you too live a better life. If you’re like me, maybe you wake in an endless amount of pain and agony each day and maybe you hate the fact you need to wake at all. Maybe you can’t get out of that pain. And, maybe it’s justified and rational for you to die. What more is there to life than suffering anyway? Well, here’re some stories about why I think about death often, and some stories about how I get on with my day anyway. Maybe you’ll find them funny or interesting enough to reflect upon the next time you wonder whether that bridge is tall enough for it to kill you. And, maybe the stories will help you think less about jumping off. Enjoy SaRtini ✌

Welcome to another comedy podcast for depressed people. Today, we discuss art, and how might you might be able to become a more genuine person and inflect that in your creations. To be a genuine human, perhaps, it has something to do with the notion of truth itself. Typically, when we make statements, we rely on old cliches such as "actions speak louder than words" or "all that glitters isn't gold". If you utilize these sort of cliches in your speech, can those truly be said to be your ideas or, are you, in fact, stealing your ideas from someplace else? Is that you try to say spoken in a list of cloches solely because you, in actuality, don't understand what it is you believe? To be a genuine person and to make good art is an attempt to break down structures of ideas and relate the fundamental concepts of those ideas through personal story and reflection. Or, at the least, something like that. Enjoy. - Sartini ✌

This is the story of my college life I began a shoeless entrepreneur. I had dreams to create an advertising company and to travel the world as a motivational speaker. But, soon, I failed. I went bankrupt. I had lost in the pursuit of the American dream. “What next?' The answer: snapchat. I took what I learned in business and instead applied that to my own content creation. I made videos and began to build my brand as a content creator. To this day, I am unsure exactly what I’m doing, but, by the end of college, I had something. I become someone interesting enough for people to give me the gift of their attention. Now I had friends, and fans, and girls. Some girls were crazier than others. Especially this one. (She’s actually quite nice at heart somewhere deep down or so I’d like to feel) Here’s today’s story.

Today, we talk about my wife, Dhruv, and how he hoped me unlock the deepest depths of my soul. In the beginning I was a happy dude, overly infatuated with self help. But, once Dhruv entered my life, he provided much needed depth into my world view. He taught me that the purpose of human life isn’t to attain happiness or strive toward these lofty aspirations - these pursuits only contribute to life’s suffering. The purpose of human life was simply to be human. When you’re happy, you’re human. When you’re sad, you’re human. When you contemplate the endless ways you should kill yourself at 3am, because sex with the girl, whom’s name you don’t remember, couldn’t numb the pain of your despair, you’re human. All emotional states are apart of the grand journey of existence, and, perhaps, it’s our duties to live through them all, no matter what despair greets us along the way.

College killed me. Waking each day was akin to a hot knife digging further and further into my brain, slashing away any remnant of the life for life I once possessed. As any man on the brink of insanity does, I lashed out at my professors, arguing with them every chance I could. Sure, getting some professors fired was fun and giving others increasing rates of depression was humorous at the time. But maybe I didn’t have to unleash so much anger. Perhaps, instead I could use humor to better play with my words and entertain not only myself but my fellow classmates too. It was within those tiny, prison-like rooms where I first began to tell stories and enter the realm of entertainment.

Today’s stories: A. Monsters under my bed As a kid I was a terrible sleeper. I was always scared monsters hid under my bed, but then one day, my mom introduced me to “monster spray”. B. Crazy stories of my grandfather From hitch hiking throughout the country, life as a hippie, dating 6 girls a week, and then finding god, my grandfather might just be the most interesting man alive. C. The long story about the ex girlfriend I can’t get over Trump rallies, sex, nightmares, anger, and tears. What could be more interesting? Thank you for joining today’s journey.

The pathway toward kinghood lies within the philosophy of going first: You must take your useless self and immediately go toward places you don’t understand, areas which terrify you to his core, but know you must go. Only in doing so can you not only see the true face of the world, but see your own true face, see the evil aspects of your soul, and wrestle with them. If you can wrestle with them maybe they won’t have to consume you, maybe you’ll be able to make use of your inner demons, rather than them making use of you. Maybe you can make something of yourself and live a different life, a better life than you had yesterday. And then, not only could you live a better life, but you could show others how to live a better life too. … Like, share, subscribe, etc. Much love, - Sartini ✌

In this episode, Sartini tells the story of his latest tinder date. This episode focuses on dating and relationships How, through dating, you can align yourself with a more improved pathway of personal transformation Dating is especially important for depressed people, especially men This, in my opinion, is because women seem to be quite intelligent Perhaps, more intelligent than men No woman will continue a relationship with incompetent men And, they will let you know exactly where you need to improve, if you listen well. Women present to men the ultimate ego death and allow us to refocus on the betterment of our lives, as men. Through dating you might be able to learn that you’re not that great, and you could become someone a lot more successful than you are today We’re all pieces of shit now, but one day, perhaps, we might be able to become polished pieces of shit … Oh, we also discuss comedians like Joe Rogan and Chris D’elia, as well as Jordan Peterson

Hi, my name is Sartini, and I'm a depressed loser with a podcast If you also find yourself to suffer from feelings of prolonged sadness, chronic loneliness, anxiety, teenaged angst, or the occasional suicidal tendency, this is the place for you This is a comedy podcast, meant to be a window into my own life A place to laugh at my daily stories of dating too much, sleeping to little, and getting lost in the back alleys of Vietnam. This isn't your normal, "mental health" podcast This is a show about learning to live with your sadness And to realize it doesn't exist at all And that striving to be happy or believing you're depressed Are both useless pursuits What matters is that you go beyond the typical notions of both states of being and simply do something of interest with your life And, perhaps, if our lives become interesting enough, we don't have to jump off a bridge Enjoy my sane insanity - SaRtini
