[Highlight] A Day[9] Date Story & Storytelling Tips

Day[9] tells the tale of how he asked a girl on a date in order to give an example on how to turn a brief statement summary into a fleshed out and engaging story. He then explains (starting at 5:03) the importance of being able to listen clearly - to yourself and to external feedback - and how to interpret that river of thoughts, emotions, and reactions.

Watching this years later and realizing he is telling the story of Brit just makes me aww all the more

[@MrYoursoup]

The moment you've learned more about life from watching Day9 videos than from your entire school life...

[@Tyletoful]

He's talking about his wife Brit!!! So cute!

[@griffinhunter1720]

I was just noticing this!

[@stewartbell4736]

Sean is the mentor that I need in my life.

[@cragnog]

0:32 - "..and I thought to myself, aha!"

[@MrHioro]

The best stories on Day9 TV !

[@decadentia84]

I love the river analogy...I believe at times I pull from the river before giving it much thought, and then regret it. But acknowledging and identifying this is the first step, now to stop myself. ;)

[@Erthradar]

A good way to elongate your stories is to redescribe things and remind the listener of your continued emotional state or past experiences.

[@Kniightisa]

that staple analogy was god damn brilliant

[@AFabricatedReality]

The timing on the 'aha'! at 0:33 is perfect.

[@fabienlehenaff2742]

that metaphor is just beautiful!

[@chickenzwings]

Is Sean a big meditator? His river analogy is the foundation of Mindfulness Meditation

[@TheBosama]

zzz - ah yes, I knew I heard that somewhere before.

[@jteodomiro]

From 06:41 to 08:20 , that was a really deep thought. It really helped me, not on storytelling, but i my personal life.

[@RigorMortisApprentis]

"That man is balding -he knows things!" xD

[@Arkydos]

Man, i just wish i had watched his video's earlier. Like when i was 12-15 or something.

[@MrSteakable]

That heartburn story is probably the greatest of all time

[@1Rekuiem]

This some serious wisdom my friend.

[@pseudopanda5567]

And that pretty girl ended up marrying Day9

[@EZMawloc]

I just ate an entire rack of ribs from Costco while watching this video. Costco racks of ribs are really really big. It's now almost 2am and I have class at 8. Bad decisions were made today...

[@pietapizza1]

Going this deep just talking to a fuckin camera, what a god

[@RTemiy]

I hope he will come back to starcraft some day

[@TMCbeeder]

He is! Check out his Broodwar Remastered conetent, if you haven'T alrdy ;)

[@CrazyCircles1]

Had to rewatch it cause i was distracted by the amazing Mindgames into Doomsayer play.

[@captorofsin86]

always love the starcraft talk sean ;)

[@lukegray6331]

I love how I don’t even know what’s going on in the game. I’m just watching him.

[@adrianelemtis6194]

Thanks man.

[@-Omega]

6:09 did he miss lethal or cant i do basic arithmetic?

[@weeguardio4086]

How do I subscribe twice?

[@mineralisk]

game sound is a bit too loud

[@LoveBystroem]

Post wife-stream this makes more sense

[@1Rekuiem]

Wait but if you are the guy in the river picking thoughts then whos the one thinking in his head does he have another man picking from tge river of thoyghts he has about the thoughts in the river in your head?

[@AvonaStar]

There are a few ways of thinking about this. One way is that you are the one on the river bank, thoughtless. You know without thinking that such and such a thought is good or bad etc. It's possible to know something without thinking some concrete thought such as the words "This is good. I want to do more of that".
For instance, wave your hand at the screen.
Did you think of how to wave it or did it wave on its own? Did you need to think "I should wave my hand" or did you just do it without that thought. It's also possible to consider your thoughts and emotions without thinking particular things.
Another thing to consider is that any thoughts that you have about your thoughts and emotions are also in the river (for you to consider).

[@dago6410]

what do you mean Uber did not exist, it did it was just called 'taxi'

[@stevekal7816]

[@Kaiyening]

[@originalmusic401]

[@asmoncat5049]

Is he a real Brony?

[@kunstderfugue]

Guilherme Seymour with how well he manages his privacy it's likely we will never know

[@DemRat]

I think he somewhen stated that he was pretty much indifferent to the entire thing. Could've been someone else though.

[@Th3Sh1n1gam1]

He has 1 TB of horse porn. You tell me if he's a real brony.

[@Irsyad40]

I'm early

[@randomek]

You are first!

[@LostSectorOnline]

[@BlueCrystalGem]

Dating advice from a single man in his 30s...

[@ivyt123123]

BlueCrystalGem he has a gf.... Just because a person isn't overly public with their relationship doesn't mean they are single. He's just giving advice on things that had happend to him.
