37:15 Tablo "I don't really care"
proceeds to talk about Tukutz for nearly 10 minutes 😭

I know why many people loves this podcast. Sometimes I feel like a friend talking to me, the other time he is an adult giving advice.

I left for a sec to get water, as soon as I got back I hear “if there’s power to be abused he will abuse it” and KNEW who tablo was talking about

Tablo's advice to trim your eyebrows to gain mild confidence is the reason why I listen to this podcast 😂

“I keep my passion by losing it (once in a while)" such a good one

Me starting the Hey Tablo life advice podcast fully expecting it to be 80% about Tukutz 😂

As an elder person (I'm 55), I can say that the best advice is to trust your gut, nothing is permanent and don't sweat the small stuff. When a person or situation feels wrong to you in your bones, it's okay to dip. Whatever choice you make today, there will always be a time to make another choice. And most of the things that irritate or frustrate you, don't have to become big things. Mountains are not molehills. I wish I could go back and let my younger self know that I will be okay, that I am enough and that "trafic mistake" I just made will be a learning point and most everyone in my life will have forgotten it in a few years. Remeber that you are your own biggest critic.

“The future is never as scary when it becomes the present” For my fellow anxious people, this is my mantra. Of course, there’re situations that are hard to deal with, but with my three decades of living I can assure you, anything that you’re imagining as a future, that is this scary and awfully gargantuan monster, will not be this big when it becomes your present

Tablo, you didn’t LOSE that battle. You got outsmarted by Tukutz.

the "job your love" caught me so off guard LMAO, I was stuck in traffic and listening to the podcast and I started laughing, 2 people looked at me thinking that I'd probably gone crazy waiting in for the red light to turn green

진짜 이렇게 구체적이고 열심히 인생상담해주는 연예인 처음봄. 사실 질문도 되게 진부하고 뻔히 답도 다 나와있는 질문인데 걍 본인 확인 받고 싶어서 묻는거잖아. 역시 타블로 좋은사람.

I love Tablo, it's one of those artists that seems so genuine and he's so effortlessly funny 🤭 Thanks for that video and helping out with your kind yet honest words 🤍

Tablo's podcast is a four-in-one for me: it helps me practice my English listening skills for my IELTS exam, gives me life advice, keeps me entertained and helps me focus at work. :hands-yellow-heart-red:

I love these life advice episodes because I genuinely relate to these questions and tablo just gives out the best answers ever.

10:57 Comparison really is the thief of joy. Plus, when we look at others, we're only peering into a tiny highlight reel of their life—it never gives you the full story! At the end of the day, you can only control you and yours, so it’s so much more rewarding to just focus on that. The grass isn't actually greener on the other side; it’s greenest where you water it. Only you know what’s truly best for you, so look inward, not outward. You’ve got this, best of luck! ✨

Tablo - "It's pretty wack to have a goal of 1M followers."
Me - Epik High's intensive effort to get 1M followers, celebrating before goal achieved 🤣🤣🤣 ❤❤❤
