I really don't understand how people do not talk to themselves in their head. Even when someone is speaking to me, I sort of repeat what they are saying to me in my own head in order to process and comprehend them. I do this process basically instantly of course, but its still a process. Sometimes I wish it was quiet because I can't just like exist without any thoughts. I'm always observing, asking myself questions and remembering. It's just a never ending amount of thoughts. I suppose meditation or something might help this, but I also think that's why video games and tiktok, and music etc. are popular is because at least for me it's a distraction from myself.
Elliot doesn’t have a red hoodie, I’ve been click-baited😤
😳
time the clip please
😂😂
@@Richarddutta26 thumbnail lol
@@theopelecanos7690 LOL HAHA😂😂😂😂
One of the kindest & creative souls out there!! Glad to see Elliot thriving
kindest lol
I really admire Elliot... He has such a nice personality online and always tries to improve himself. I am highly motivated to do my own shit every time I watch his videos. No matter what others say I stan Elliot!
Yes! He's so focused on growth & development 🫶 and love that you are as well. What's the dream for you?
thank you a lot for this podcast ❤ I’ve been watching Elliot’s videos for the past 3 years and I really enjoyed listening to him
thank you for listening ❤ are there other creators you enjoy?
Elliot is my fav person. He's one of the most creative, thoughtful and inspirationally hard-working creator I've luckily known. Thus, thank you for making the podcast. I love the very natural and insightful way you guys talked. It's like a very healthy communicative and intellectual conversation.
awww. Thank you for your feedback and glad you enjoyed it!
Love the call out to the inner voice, or thinking “in sentences”. As a child, I watched a cartoon called Doug, which prominently features the main character’s inner voice. While watching it, I realized I never used my inner voice, and decided to try it. My inner voice hasn’t stopped talking since. I believe it’s made me a better communicator, and also a better thinker, in being able to process and form my thoughts. That said, I’ve also learned that the thoughts and feelings we have, which aren’t always easy to give words to, are just as valid, and it’s important to stay in tune with them. Even more, the feelings we have, which don’t always have words, are usually the easiest for most to relate and empathize with.
Makes sense- thank you for sharing! And I loved Doug and quail man
One of my favourite RUclipsrs thanks for interviewing him as a fan of both you and Elliot
thank you!!! lmk what's another favorite creator you'd like to see on next 🙏
@@trykarat Ye!! I think Jedcal would be an interesting guest he's someone who has gone from working full time and doing youtube on the side to progressing into full time youtube and now pulling back on youtube and is working on his start up. He's so young but is striving for so much so having a conversation with him would be a very intriguing episode.
i thought that i talked to myself and communicated through thoughts, but now I think maybe sentences... whoa this was kinda eye-opening haha. loved the content!
Been missing out on my elliot content, so glad to see him on a new form of content i've been interested in!!!
I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for listening
I am so envious of your ability to speak so eloquently!!
thank you! I did a lot of public speaking practice -used to be scared of speaking and still feel that a little sometimes
This is like the Diary of a CEO for content creators and I love it. And I have a sneaking suspicion you were inspired that that podcast, which is awesome if you are.
Thank you!!! And yes- working with creators inspired me to try creating content too
Now I'm relieve that I'm not really insane , because I have been speaking to myself in my mind and everytime I tell my friends they are all like " or Maybe you should just see a therapist". Thanks to Elliot now I know it's normal 😊. Thanks Eric for having Elliot
of course! and yes we all have different ways of processing things
@@trykarat I wish I knew it earlier, because I almost believe I was insane. None of the people around actually understand it . The all just thought I have Multiple personalities Disorder 🤦🤦🤦 .
@@agaikochkuch8794 not everyone has an internal voice. I hate mine sometimes esp because I tend to overthink but I can’t imagine how scary quiet it would be to live without it.
@@Socialling yeah I know the feeling. My friends and family almost make me believe that I can as insane but at least there are people who feel the same way I do .
this podcast has better sound quality and camera set-up than most 🙌🏼
awww thanks! I'm so sorry about the last 10 min where the audio died - I've fixed it for the future!
except the last part
@@usersdksdfg i know ☠
I used to think everyone had an internal monologue, but the internet has shown that so many people don't.
that's right! it really depends - some people don't and some don't
inspirational content
thank you!!
I’ve thought in sentences my whole life and it’s not too fun when it’s 24/7. It’s funny this reminded that my thought process isn’t the norm lol.
Yea I do this too! It can be pretty tiring sometimes
Man. I'll have so many conversations with myself.
Wow that popped off on an interesting foot right away
i enjoyed this, thanks!
thank you so much! any other creators you'd like to see next?
@@trykarat Ashley ❤
Very interesting straight an hour
full vid?
To be honest I wish I didn't think in sentences, it always feels like my reactions aren't geniune because I have to filter my thoughts then say them accordingly often times leading to a more awkward or somewhat fake interaction.
I've had this issue - sometimes people feel like I'm interviewing them when I'm just trying to have a normal conversation 🥲
Hello. What's the name of the cards?
0:24 come on elliot we definitely see this coming AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
Damn, when he said 'heart of the cards'...
just trying to stay away from the shadow realm
also - this is @erictway the cofounder! I remember we spoke over the phone a couple years ago - small world haha
@@trykarat Still waiting for availability in Canada... 🥲
@@excessorizeme I know :( it's hard! Lmk if you're ever in town in LA, would love to say hi
can someone please explain what thinking in sentences vs thoughts means because i have no idea what Elliot was talking about…
I think as a podcaster you need to be more vulnerable and don't put too much pressure to the guest. Everyone wants to hear the perspective and thoughts of the guest so you being overly talkative in the conversation is not productive imho. Sometimes listening is better than talking
Super fair, thanks for the feedback!
Think and Grow rich is a Classic and produces results when applied. Doesn't matter if the guy wasn't successful himself...
That's very true - sometimes you can still find pearls of wisdom from unlikely sources
I clicked for elliot but you're a great interviewer!
thank you! I've never been on camera before so this means a lot to me- still feeling shy 😳
Wish you could do another video with him to find out why he has left youtube (other than the occasional video when he desperately needs money yet tells everyone he’s back to stay)
I like how ERIC takes things like Meyers-Briggs then just shits on it... You're definitely better than any of those people who were just good at marketing, yet you're the real genius here....
Thanks Steve! Appreciate it - just trying to provide context on how to properly assess these tests
the mic might have died but not that level in this podcast!
even as a small youtuber, i had a friend that saw me as a transcational friendship and she had 12K followers and got jealous about my youtube work :"))) so now i'm extra careful of competitve non geniune friends
That's important. I'm glad you're finding better friends!
The replies you gave on comments against Elliot are nice and coming from someone who knows him personally as you said. But….. sometimes a person’s demeanor even “just” on youtube and the words they speak can say a lot about him/her. Certainly, if someone is your friend, you are naturally more inclined to believe in them than those whom you don’t know. On another note, I don’t think other people would blatantly lie and make up things about others on the internet with their face and reputation on the line. Nonetheless, I still watch Elliot’s videos and support him as much as I support the other side.
That's fair. I don't have context on the situation so not judging - but I do know the people involved personally - and just hoping everyone's doing okay.
life is really hard and lonely already. and it sucks when things just make it harder
Full video
Link for the test pleaseeee

i feel like elliot should start a podcast
i knowww right?
Why are there so many people hating? 😐
🫠
In seriousness - I think on the Internet it's really easy to hate - I just try to remember it's another human being on the other side and we don't know what's going through their life and how they feel
Everybody trying to hop on the bandwagon of being rude.. people forget that you can be neutral.
Not a fan of the Captions burned into the video.
Thanks for the feedback! We’ve stopped doing this going forward
I usually don't comment on anything on youtube but I've never had to listen to such a bad interviewer that it actually prevented me from even wanting to continue to listen to the podcast. Like it comes off so pretentious and like he's trying to overpower and seem like the main character syndrome. Like just let your guest speak. I felt like Elliot was trying to share really interesting topics like the inner monologue vs no head thoughts and the interviewer would just be so obnoxious about it. "Like anime training." Like majorly makes me want to just switch to another vid. Really hope they can take this feedback and maybe practice tone and realize not everything needs a comment from the main interviewer. Let your guest finish their thought or ask exploratory questions, rather than just inserting in. That whole section was so cringe.
Sorry to hear that :(
Is it only me who thinks Elliot should be a lead character in k-dramas!!!!???
ABSOLUTELY! he'd kill it
Crying cause I LOVE(D) digimon, thank you Eric I heard on that ahahaa 💯
yessss thank you
Eric's mic cuts out at around 1:04:18
I know :( we fixed it for the next one - I'm so sorry! thanks for watching so long 👉👈
bro is trying so hard to sound like tim ferris hahaha
😭@erictway here - I've legitimately never even heard Tim Ferris speak before (but obviously familiar with who he is and his work)
brb going to go look him up now speaking
@@trykarat it's a good thing. imo he's the best podcaster of all time. you're a natural LOL
@@DaveNash awww thank you!
I heard talking to yourself may be a sign of loneliness. A therapist could help you with that.
I started seeing a therapist 4 years ago after years of avoiding it due to internalized stigma - was a big game changer for me
yall look uncomfortably close together lmao... get a wider table
help us get to 10K followers so we can get a wider table plz
jeez...the guy looks tired
Not sure if referring to me or Elliot - but yes, I'm pretty tired. Working on improving sleep habits (aware I'm replying to your comment at 4am)
lol i was referring to u..sorry to wake u up dude, but yes we need to listen to our bodies. now go back to sleep.
😊🍻🍺
idk why but every time i see this dude talk i feel a little bit of fakeness. you can tell he is sneakily tryna hint on something (u know what i mean if you know about ur mom’s house)
Aw. I've known Elliot for years and I haven't experienced this - but you're entitled to your opinion
I followed the ur mom house “drama” bc I followed everyone before things unfolded. I think it’s very short sighted to blame anyone for what happened. Furthermore they’ve moved on and we don’t even know the full of it so I don’t understand why you’d hold anything against Eliot or anyone else from that house. If someone judged me or my current/former roommate for issues we’ve worked through, honestly, it would reflect more on them than us because conflict is normal and can be healthy. I also hope Eliot doesn’t see this bc while he seems mature and have good sense of himself, he is human and it must hurt to be unfairly criticized by people who don’t know you. Like, get off the internet and take a walk outside and get to know yourself and decide the energy you want to put out into the world because this does not reflect well on you imo. Stay safe.
This is just a personal bias. As a viewer and bystander with no personal knowledge of Elliot and all the relationships within ur mom's house, we're just guessing. We can take everything they've said publicly, but there's so much more background context that hasn't been said as well in either a good or bad way. Obviously there's room to speculate and have our own opinions since they've documented their start and end, but pointing fingers and placing the blame on Elliot in a situation without full understanding is unnecessary.

Bruh Karat if I dropped my cash app, could you give me $5k.
sorry - we're not at a place where makes sense for us to donate money to our RUclips viewers even for marketing purposes. hopefully we'll continue to grow!
@@trykarat lol it was a joke
Is it racist that I can't tell them apart?
😭
yes because they don't look alike
No. It can't be racist if you're actually unable to do it. It's a pretty common trait in humans throughout the world. I watched a video that had Koreans attempt to tell the difference between photos of white people and some struggled claiming that they all looked the same. I've been watching East Asian movies and TV shows for years and Elliot Choy and the host look completely different - but they also share many features which may be why you're untrained brain is struggling, lol!
Like everything with the brain's processing it needs exposure to differentiate more skillfully. It isn't racist, but it does suggest that you don't engage much with asian people or asian centric media. You should branch out more.
@@Ryan-gh4iz thank you for the thoughtful reply!!
people are so mean to him... losing a best friend.. especially as a guy... its the most painful thing ever. Like, ur best guy, putting u aside, making u a second option all of a sudden... just for what? a p*ssy? hookup chick? ok the guy and the girl might be in love and become best friends as well... but that was never genuine... that was a relationship that only started bc of the sexual attraction... for u to dump or take the attention away from ur best friend to a chick... u must be on another level of trash human being. Kelly and ashley did him dirty as hell, people don't realize it cuz they never experienced that in their life when they have a true real best friend... to make u feel like u are a second option in someone`s life all of a sudden. Props to him for keeping it together distancing himself and cutting them off his life... it might take a couple of years but kelly will surely one day realize the mistake he made... once the attraction isn't there anymore and he starts paying attention to hotter girls around him... at the end he will finally realize there's no such a bond as a male friendship, even with the hottest chicks... sex and physical attraction are temporary, a real deep friendship is not. Stay strong elliot
lol the misogyny just jumped out. Referring to Ashley as a "pussy" and "hookup chick"? She has a name..
@@Hughjasslol1 are u talking about the asian chick who fantasize her younger brother and use him as clickbait to ride the bts korean wave to get subscribers and views? Thats her then haha
im prettty sure, he didnt really reinvent college vlogging..... but okay
Super fair - at least for me personally, I really got into watching the genre more after seeing Elliot's content. But yea there's a lot of creators doing really interesting things there - I love anthpo too
how tf did you get ellitochoy on ur podcast it only has 3 k subs lmao
every podcast starts somewhere. It wasnt long ago that Karat had 0. their growth is actually going really well.
Karat is a business that works directly with creators, hence having them as a network
@@thealiusjones awww thanks! appreciate it ☺
@@brukkassie6876 Yep! that's exactly right
we have our ways 😉 any other creators you want to see on it?
