"I didn't want to add to the negativity in the fandom so I stopped talking about it" that's why i love y'all.
Big hugs.
Greg - You’re not alone, brother. And talking about the things you’re going through is a huge service to the community. It takes guts and you’re going to help a lot of people. I have a lot of respect for you. Always a co-host... never a sidekick.
Thank you so much. Definitely not easy, but I’m still learning myself that it’s ok not to be ok
@@GoGetterGreg Nothing but love for you guys! And nobody... NOBODY... is totally OK. Anyone who tells you they are is lying or in denial.
Except for Tom Brady... That f*cker has everything.
Id fly down for a RexinCon/birthday fan event

Heck yeah

Very grateful for Greg. And Michael. I've seen the darkest sides of the Star Wars fandom over the last 15 or so years on the Internet, and these boys are the epitome of the light side of it. It is absolutely something else to be able to enjoy a part of the Star Wars community that tries so hard to avoid just outright aggression and hate and then episodes like this where the lads just feel like mates, it's awesome. Keep being you.
The sensitivity in this episode and the topics spoken about really reached to me personally and i'm sure many others.
We all use something for escapism, but ultimately reality comes back to face you and often in unexpected ways.
It's important in how you approach or seek help to work on it before you spiral; facing personal demons and feelings is so important and typically a personal journey, while at the time it may feel like a low point, but once you come out on the other side you'll look back on that experience as an important turning point for self growth, healing and development.
Taking the time out to have that space, reaching out and speaking about it to a therapist or friend is one thing.
To open up on a platform such as this takes a great deal of courage and heart, something of which is incredibly important and will have helped many people listening in ways you may not know.
Michael, Gregg and to all the Rexin Around Crew, you have a beautiful and inspiring stance on life keeping it 100 percent real and making us all try to be better humans.
May the Force be with you guys, always.
her line “in the end, we all choose sides” resonated with me, because if you stay “neutral” in a two sided civil war, you’ve already chosen the side of the oppressor aka the empire.
edit to add: i’m very grateful for growing up watching people who get in touch with emotions as a young girl, being able to start my journey in the earlier stages of my life, so ty for being open and honest :) that shits hard man, keep going
The moment where Michael actually did go back and edit in him saying what he said he said killed me 😂 also did the rexin around show just “grow up”? Love that you guys are sharing the fact that you’re both multifaceted REAL people, and not just here for our entertainment. I know that it’s this podcast and this podcast alone that encouraged me to become more active in the star wars community. More openly sharing my love of Star Wars has been a great experience, and I’ve been blown away by how many people around me are open to it and enjoy it. So I guess I’m saying thank you for you guys just being you guys. And for being real.
Hey, I've been a long time silent fan of you guys for a minute now, and, I've never commented or anything as I rarely do on any form of content, but I just felt like I needed to let you know that this video, really like, I get it. It really hit home and made me feel a little better about myself, I usually tend to just push problems to one side in my brain and try to forget about them instead of trying to deal with them. I understand now that that's kinda okay, but I need to start a journey to better myself and deal with things instead of hiding.
The one that rang most true to me is the content burnout thing. I make videos myself and I totally understand where you guys are coming from when you say, who am I doing this for. That's something I haven't been able to find the answer for for a while. Why do I make the videos I make, at first, it was to try and grow a channel and to try make some sort of living out of it as I felt like it was the only thing I was passionate about and the only thing I was actually good at. And I still do feel that way, but, I started to grow tried of the hustle of making videos, trying to put out quality content that I'm happy with, as well as working a full time job and keeping a social life is difficult.
I've learnt that, I'm never gonna be the big content creator I wanted to be, and to just embrace the small community I made. I need to move forward from wanting clout, to just wanting to do things at my own pace and not stress about keeping my subscribers happy or keeping the algorithm happy.
I'm sorry for just kind of spilling a whole bunch of words in a comment on here, and honestly, they probably don't even make sense, but I just wanted to say thank you for talking about the things you did in the podcast, as it has helped me realise a lot of things for myself.
I hope this comment found you well, and one last thing, where can I go to leave you a 5* review? What site is it at, because I feel like I owe you one! Thank (:
Clones: Good soldiers follow orders
Us: Good boys watch Rexinaround
Ba dum dum PSSSSH 🥁
I didn't know Celsius was an energy drink and though Michael was going to drop some sweet temperature facts.
Thank you so much for this episode. It hit very close to home. 💙 Greg, your openness about this has deeply helped me get help.
You guys have made me feel “not alone” so many times, and so often made me smile when I’m down. Thank you.
MICHAEL! 😱😱😱 You haven’t cried for 12 years?!
The Siege of Mandalore arc: Am I a JOKE to you?? 🤭😊😁😭😭😭
I really appreciate the vulnerability of this weeks podcast… we all have our demons and it’s so nice to see other people who are experiencing what we do often want to hide. I literally disappeared from the discord because I’ve been in my own mental health “experience” and to be honest, socializing is scary, but it’s so comforting to know that the people I look up to go through the same struggles of a random 19 year old college student from a whole different part of the country. 💙 (oh and happy birthday Greg!)
“Socialising is scary” never has more true words been spoken, hope you feel better soon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG!!!
This was a pretty special episode and I'm so glad you guys do what you do. You're so much more than just another Star Wars channel, you're relatable. I totally empathize with what you're going through Greg, because I'm in a similar boat too, and it's rough. I watched the Bo Burnham special with my mom, thinking it'd be a fun comedy show we could laugh with together. I didn't know it would be SO deeply relatable and it would be a way for me to explain to my mom how I feel and what it's like being my age.
You guy's really are the PB to each others J, and nobody is a sidekick here. Hope to see you on Twitch on Monday!
Your love for the fandom always brightens my days and I’ve been binge watching a lot of the older podcasts and you guys never fail to make me laugh , thank you so much Michael and Greg, and the rest of the rexin around crew ☺️
Big mental health hugs to you guys before I start the episode!! Can't wait to watch
The transparency and authenticity you guys have is so inspiring! You might not be able to see how much you’ve helped others, but I think I can say this for many people. You guys helped us not feel alone during the pandemic and in general. I’m so glad to have found this podcast right before the pandemic. You guys have made SUCH a positive impact on my life. Praying for you, Greg ❤️
Man oh man I connected with Greg so much in this. That feeling of being able to break down instantly like that is so real and I love hearing him talk about it openly. Made me tear up because I know the feeling. I know how hard it is to participate in life when feeling the way you do. Keep going man.
This podcast is hands down one of my favorites!! You guys should be an inspiration to anyone going through anything challenging. Keep doing what you are doing much love ❤️
I'm cool with the prolonged Wrecker head thing. I like it. Sure we know where it's going, but for people who like suspense and new people who aren't familiar with CW and the chip, it stresses the point and the pain of losing soft boi Wrecker
And we have multiple seasons for TBB so they don't have to rush like with a few episodes of CW season 7
Quality over quantity.... Which is what we find in you both. Wearing the mask of happiness will always bear a heavy weight, we become shackled by the constant need to prove our worth to those who don't always deserve it...I won't pretend to know where happiness lives.... But i like to think that even while in pain, being surrounded by those who love you is a place we can finally feel free. Or at least free enough to begin looking for the key to break away from the things we bind ourselves with. Love ya bro @gogettergreg
Happy birthday Greg! Hope you had a fantastic day! 🥳
I loved this episode. Talking it out with us is way better than keeping it in.
Michael, you gotta learn to cry. I was like you for over a decade at one point, and once I allowed myself to let go (I let it hit during a movie, it can be as small of a step as that ) has allowed me to fully experience life by not shutting that option out. It isn't any kind of weakness, it is something to embrace (I know that you are aware of it, and don't consider it a weakness, but something is shutting that emotional door, so see if someone's ancient manly ideals are still holding on).
I love that this podcast can go to this place, and even though I am an optimist and rarely depressed, I was so happy to be along for this ride. I wanted to hear it. It felt like some good friends sharing a beer in a quiet pub and opening up in an intimate and supportive way. Greg's feelings are super important to all of us, and I want him to feel like if he is having a bad day (or month, or year), we are the people he can tell, and we will be proud to know he could share where his head is at. The best of Star Wars is nothing without emotion, so Greg, this is what we are here for.
Hey guys. This might be my favorite episode yet. As someone who just officially got diagnosed with bipolar depression (I’m being open because I know this community is a safe one) hearing you guys talk about this issue really means a lot to me. I’ve been praying a lot but hearing people I look up to talk about something so deep and so relatable gives me a lot of hope in my own future. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Another great and genuine episode. One of these days I hope to meet up with both of you as your positive edge is refreshing and great being let into your lives.
I really appreciate you two being so open about how you guys are genuinely feeling. I know I speak for a lot of people when I say it's just nice to know that we're not alone in feeling these same things. Not that I'm thankful that we're all going through really crappy things, but listening to people that I look up to on how I want to carry myself talk about their struggle, that I too am feeling, means that I'm not too far away from being where I want to be, that I'm not striving for perfection, a benchmark that's impossible to reach. Since I've met you guys, I've considered the two of you friends, and growing with you guys through this podcast/Discord/Twitch has been quite a pleasure, a true bright spot in my life. You guys might not even see this in the sea of positive affirmation, but what you guys put out there for people, regardless of low little Star Wars is actually involved, is very appreciated and helps us grow more than you guys could ever know. Thank you guys!
Been a minute since I've peeped into the online fan community, and I was super happy with watching your channel. Took a couple years off from even wanting to interact online with people about star wars because of how negative and un-grounded people seem to be over it on social media. Was refreshing to take some time today to watch a couple of your videos and see some down to earth fans making content. Thanks!
Appreciate yall for being honest and vulnerable with us. One of your best podcast episodes yet!
I really appreciate the honesty between you two and I'm glad I watched this episode. You guys are wonderful.
Michael, I appreciate you taking my comment on the “FIRST 5 MIN” of Star Wars talk, into the core structure of the podcast.
Thank you both for this. You two along with a few other vlogs helped me soooo much.This is needed more than you know. This is light, please continue to be loud with your light!
finally got around to listening to this episode. I really love the open discussion about mental health. I think a lot of people brush their mental health to the side, I did that for years. Eventually, you have to come to terms with it and do what's best for your mental health. The discussion today is admirable, and I think will help a lot of people in the long run. Crying in the shower is okay, I've been there. Also, Trace and Rafa are damn good characters, I'm with you on the stan train. Keep doing what you're doing, you make a bigger difference than you might think. Cheers 🍻
Thank you guys for this video. I have to thank Greg for talking about mental health. I myself have gone through anxiety issues this last year to the extent of effecting my health. Your videos have been a bright spot. We all stand with you guys no matter what.
Greg, I applaud your courage to talk about these things in an open forum like this podcast. Brother hang in there and know KNOW that you are not alone. The Rexin Around show was a huge booster to my mental health since the pandemic began and a HUGE part of that was you. Sure I love laughing at Michael’s goofyness but you always kept things real. I strongly identify with you sir. As someone who has and continues to struggle with mental issues I feel you. I always put others first to the detriment of myself and I don’t know how to stop for fear of letting others down.
Your openness had me in tears on this cast. Know that I do not think of you as a sidekick and that I have great love for you and what you do. Stay strong and know that we love you for you sir.
Sending positivity your way.
Happy Birthday Greg!! I appreciate everything you do for the community with the discord and just being a happy, positive place to come and love star wars. I found you guys during the beginning of the pandemic and I can honestly say this show helped me so much in that time. I watch every episode as soon as it comes out, even if I don't always remember to comment.
I'd love to come to a meet up, but I live in Canada and can't afford travel :(
I kind of hope Trace and Raffa's contact isn't Ahsoka, because I think it would be interesting and sad if, to keep her safe from the Empire, Rex and Ahsoka are letting people think she is dead. Then Raffa being kind of snappy at the Bad Batch this episode has an added bit of context, because she thinks clones killed her friend. That probably isn't going to be the route they go, but I think it would be cool and sad.
@GoGetterGreg, you are a damn good man. Thank you for sharing your journey. I know how hard it is to talk about mental health, especially when you're in it. I have nothing but respect and love for you, and if I ever see you in person, and you're ok with it, I'll give you a big ol' hug. Happy birthday! (Oh, and I love that shirt!)
Greg and Michael I want to just spend a whole day with you all. You're just amazing people and I love listening to you guys. I would drive down from Washington just for a weekend to hang out and talk everything star wars.
I love what this podcast is evolving into! Greg we all love you and you alone have helped me so much with my mental health, you talking about it has given me the confidence to open up about my own troubles. Love ya
Happy birthday Greg! And thanks to both of you for making me belly laugh on every show.
You guys are honestly awesome and are becoming one of my favorite podcasts/ RUclips channels. It’s really nice and refreshing to see people on RUclips just being their true selves and as open. Keep up everything you are doing fellas !
We love you Greg. I just wanna give you a hug
The thought is appreciated ❤️
Really great to hear you talk about all that, Greg. I feel you. You’re not alone. And I’m so glad this show exists. It really all means more to me than I can truly express.
this is such a special episode to me and everyone else watching, thank you so much for being so honest and vulnerable with us.
Watching while at work and you guys have made my night thx
Another great episode, i look forward to to each episode every week and always love whatever you guys are talking about.
Happy Birthday Greg!!!
Okay so I’m finishing this podcast a few days later than I planned but I really enjoyed this one and how you guys have become so much more than just a Star Wars podcast. I legit look forward to this podcast every week. I found you because of the galaxy’s edge video a while ago and have been watching ever since. I definitely feel like my views on the fandom and the franchise as a whole have changed to to watching the podcast. I went from just hating them to actually quite enjoying them and you guys have opened my eyes so much so thank you for that keep up the work with the amazing content!
Great episode as normal, thank you for the open discussion on mental health this is very important topic and needs to be recognised more. Stay strong Greg and thank you for your honest openness.
I'm pretty new following this podcast, I love it. And I am here for it! Please keep going, you two are fantastic and thanks for sharing this!
Love you both! Fantastic episode 💙
Great podcast guys, all I can say is thank you, it helps listening, it helps talking. much love guys.
It would be so cool if yall did a hangout! Maybe Frank and Sons hangout also! Ill definitely join in whatever decision you guys do. Also, Happy Birthday Greg! We all need a friend like Greg to be honest but still fun XD. Take the time to relax and destress. Take care of yourselves Rexin Around.
This episode was amazing It was really nice to see this side of you guys and the honesty really hit home with me and something I relate to. Wish you guys nothing but the best. PS would love to drive down for a meet up.
Thanks for recommending the Bo Burnham special. I watched it right after and loved it. It was hilarious, genius, raw, beautiful, intelligent, and truly encapsulated his experience in the time of Corona. Thank you!
Love y’all ❤️ need to catch up on bad batch before I watch the Star Wars portion of the podcast lol, but still trying to send positivity to the both of you always!
I started watching for the Star Wars content but stayed around to hear about you guys more and haven't been disappointed. I dont see Greg as I side-kick I see him as a co-host to the show, you both are so amazing in your own ways and you help lighten our days even when yours are dark. If I lived State side it would love to go oopscon in October but I dont 😥.
I can really relate to Greg and I'm lucky to have friends like you that help people like us see the forest through the trees sometimes.
love how vulnerable & honest & true this is
I know I am super late to watching the episode and commenting but I just need to say how I really love that you have 5 min of Star Wars content and then 1 hour of real people talking about life or work or other stuff and some more Star Wars stuff sprinkled in here and there as well. I really feel like people need to know that we are more than the job or the face that people see some times. Thank you!!!!!!
I would totally go to a meet up. I loved this episode. Mental health is so important and acknowledging you need help and be more open is very hard. Love you guys!
Happy birthday Greg!
Sending love and support to Greg. Stay strong, man.
Another outstanding episode. Keep up the great work Rexin and Greg.
You guys are amazing, this was a great episode. Sending big hugs to you both! :)
I find it hilarious you have to explain to new viewers the true nature of this podcast.
Hey guys. I love the videos and content and I love you guys. I know sorry means nothing but Greg I'm sorry how rough it's been for you but you're a real trooper and plowing on and getting it done and I know you don't know me but it's beautiful to see and I couldn't be more proud. Much love ma doods especially Greg hope you had an amazing Birthday too! Much love and a beautiful episode for multiple reasons
Its always good to talk about things that are on your mind :) sending positive vibes
Y’all are so awesome keep it up! :)
GREG SUPPORT SQUAD... assemble.
Greg happy birthday! Your amazing and awesome, never give up.
The best episode!! That OpsieCon will be amazing I’ll show up. Nothing but love to the both of you. There’s now RexinAround show without either of you.
This one hit hard for sure. I've interacted with both of you on twitter a couple times but that doesn't mean I know you, or that you know me.. but it's tough to see anyone hurting. I hope you find at least one good thing each day to get you started. Even if its just a good nights sleep.
We love you Greg and Michael! Y’all are loved and appreciated.
Happy birthday Greg!! 🎂🥳🎂🥳🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
U guys are the best, I don't know what else to say. I am very thankful for this podcast.❤️
*hugs Greg* Always love the content you guys thank you endlessly, see you at RexinAround Con aka TanaCon 2.0 this October
great episode guys!
Getting caught up on these vids. Greg you're a King. Appreciate you opening up and talking about some of your personal thoughts. Keep being you homie. And thank you for being some joy and light into the world. Michael if you're reading know you're great too. Keep up the good work fellas.
*bringing.....
Loved this episode! #Make Talking Star Wars and Mental Health a thing
Much love for this talk
Happy birthday Greg!!!!
Amazing podcast as usual!!!!, A convention sounds dope!!!!!
This is why I love you guys because you talk like this because everyone goes through this and you guys are normal people I whould love to meet in real life sometime because you guys are my favorite podcast my second is kyber sisters third is KRT
Loved this episode
omg yes the star wars weekends i miss them
Group hug all around!!!
I’m proud of both of you all
We ❤️ greg and the content you create. You put joy in Star Wars community. Sw theory may be more “popular” but is it content you would want to make? I don’t think so. You guys are equally awesome, what makes the show is your beautiful friendship. Also hannah gadsby had a similar reaction for me
You give a date for the meetup, I will book a ticket and fly all the way from England!
Y’all could be a guest at a convention? Kinda like how popular cosplay people are guests at a convention. Love y’all!
Thank you for opening up Greg!
*Brb, going to ask my family if we can go to this new RexinCon*
Oct. sounds fun! :)
I have been watching this show for over a year and I would say I have to disagree with the idea that Greg is in Michael's shadow. From my perspective, Greg is a prominent member of the show and without him it would be very different. In my mind, if you're in someone's shadow and you leave, people won't notice because they'll be focusing on the guy casting the shadow; however, and I know I speak for everyone, if Greg were to leave this show, he would be greatly missed and the dynamic would be very odd. That's why Greg is not in Michael's shadow. Greg is respected, loved, unique and so important.
Thank you for this. Sometimes we definitely get lost in our own perspective and that’s where I currently am, but I’m working on it ❤️
Enjoyed this episode. Sometimes you guys go deep. Appreciated! :)
Happy birthday Greg once again I hope you have a good day buddy and you are enjoying your time with your friends and family😁❤️❤️
I would 100% be down for a meet up!!! I’m only like an hour away, so traveling is no issue for me
love you guys ❤❤
I live too far away to join in but it sounds fun
I'm also 30 this year 😂
happy to donate the sofa for rex con 😂😂
