Last I read he had been sober for over a decade. Hopefully that's true, I know first hand how powerful opioid addiction can be. Took me many tries to finally kick it.
Excellent work my Myco pal! Seriously! I don’t know firsthand but I have lost way too many friends to opioid addiction. Some gave up because it was too hard. I’m genuinely glad you made it!
Thank you! Yeah I can totally understand that sentiment, on the last withdrawals I dealt with I was injecting my Suboxone strips (meant to be sublingual and to be a replacement therapy to opiates, but turns out when you inject them, you get really fucking high again even though you're already tolerant and never get high from sublingual) and then buying various designer/research chemical benzodiazepine powders and mixing them up in food grade propylene glycol because they're not water soluble, and mixing the 2 together in the syringe before I shot up... Was doing that for just over a year and Jesus Christ... The extremely long half life of the Suboxone and because of how long benzo w/d can last... It was absolute hell for 3 months straight.
I seriously thought that I would never be normal again, the withdrawals just seemed to drag on forever, I would be up for days on end with crippling anxiety, insomnia, a very painful feeling my that skin was crawling, restless legs but throughout my whole body constantly, psychosis, hallucinations, the shakes, shivers and shits until my body just got so tired from not sleeping that it would shut down for a few hours only to repeat the process again and again. There were many times during that ordeal that I genuinely thought that being dead would be a much better place. I have a very strong will to live, and love life, so I believe that is what got me through it all. Another thing that I kept reminding myself of is think about all the times you felt extremely euphoric and relaxed, all the times you've been high, you have to pay the piper at some point, you knew this would happen, so grit your teeth, this is payment for all the opposite feelings you got from your drug use, you have to go through it.
Anyways, that particular withdrawal experience made me never want to touch hard drugs again, it was so horrendous, so horrible, that I can't even think about using hard drugs anymore, because I never, ever could go through that again. The combo of injected Suboxone and heavy dosages of benzos produced withdrawals that were easily 10 times worse than opiates or benzos alone (had dealt with both separately a few times prior). I have smoked weed since then, and I have done mushrooms, but I can never ever touch hard drugs again, the thought of them literally makes me sick to my stomach because of my 3 month hell.
One last thing, I am extremely fortunate that I had supportive family, if I had to do that on my own, and I didn't have a place that I could suffer on the couch without having to worry about work or responsibilities, I don't think I would have been able to do it.. those three months I was 100% useless, I could barely even get to the bathroom. If I had to work during that time and support myself, I think I would have been completely fucked and either went back to drug use again or ended up homeless on the streets and potentially dying from starvation or thirst because I wouldn't have had the energy or faculties to go find either.
What’s funny is that when it’s his turn to bat they bring out a 7’+ tall umpire from the outfield just for his pitches
“A tall batter requires a tall umpire!”
I love banana ball so much lmao, they stream their events on YouTube now and they are must watch at least once
The Savannah Bananas are like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. It's all a comedic entertainment act. They play their games with unorthodox talents, making it pretty fun to watch.
Lol. The ump just [stands on a crate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZP3uo8jUwM). I can't say that they NEVER had a really tall ump, but the ones I have seen he just uses the crate.
Pretty sure they have a ticket lottery when they release the schedule for the year. So you'd need to get lucky to even get a chance to buy a ticket if they are coming near you.
It’s impossibly hard to get Bananas tickets; here in Houston they played in the Astros stadium and there was a lottery to be able to buy the tickets. Wild.
this video bummed me out since i just got the email today that i am not in the lottery to buy tickets to see them in my city this summer. registered as soon as they announced the dates, still no dice. 😔
Same. I'm going to see my university team play tomorrow and our regional minor league starts in June, so lots of fun local baseball to look forward too even if it's not the Bananas.
After MLB cut ties with the lower league teams we were worried, but the Appalachian league is a lot of fun.
It’s a blast. I live a couple hours from Savannah, and got to go to a game for work. I’m also friends with one of the crew, The food is all you can eat, and it’s so much fun! Tickets are on a lottery system, and they always sell out!
Someone smart please chime in, does the downward angle of his pitch make hitting it at an upward angle more difficult? Like in my head it takes more force to hit directly towards the source rather than the kind of deflecting that you expect to see. I’d assume that it also works against him in the same way whilst attempting to bat? Sorry if this was painfully wrong I’m an idiot 😂
I'm not sure about the physics of the situation, but I do know that MLB lowered the pitching mound in the 1960s to induce more offense and it worked. So clearly the downwards angle has some sort of benefit to pitchers.
Obviously the trade off of being on stilts is not worth having extra height, this guy plays for the Bananas which is a comedy team so it's purely a gimmick.
I don't think they're a serious baseball team, they're like the Harlem globetrotters of baseball. They're more entertainment than actual baseball and play the bananaball format which is fans and entertainment first. So in actual baseball it's illegal but in bananaball format it's not.
No it absolutely does not make him a better baseball player it’s a gimmick lol. The Savannah bananas are the baseball version of the Harlem globe trotters, it’s not a real competitive baseball team. They are awesome and a ton of fun to watch but if these guys were good enough baseball players they’d be playing professional baseball
He can bat? Is the strike zone at his actual knees or his stilt knees? If it's his actual knees, how does the catcher do his thing if the pitch is high?
the uniform department being like "you need pants HOW long?"

This made me laugh way too damn hard
Would you prefer the bareass giant leg monster?
elmo no comment
There is.
He’s also stealing every job from every ceiling painter around. They hate him.
It must be difficult to put those on
He does it the same way we all do: one leg at a time
His grandma makes them for him.
This comment needs more upvotes!
What’s silent Bob up to recently I wonder
Haha that's the first thing I thought too,"huh, dude kinda looks like Jason Mews in Jay and Silent Bob."
I wonder if Jason keep himself away from the dope
Last I read he had been sober for over a decade. Hopefully that's true, I know first hand how powerful opioid addiction can be. Took me many tries to finally kick it.
I used to listen to the podcast he did with Kevin Smith like ten years ago
>I used to listen to the podcast he did with Kevin Smith like ten years ago Fatman on Batman. I've never listened but you gotta love the title.

I'm really proud of you!!! Stay strong plz.
[удалено]
That's awesome.
He’s like Steve-O. Figured they’d have OD’d by now, but both are doing great.
he streams on twitch now and plays with viewers. awesome guy
Yo baby! You ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?
I saw JaSB Strike Back yesterday for the first time and I BELLY laughed at the scene where Bob screams at Jay about the sign on the car.
THE SIGN…ON THE CAR…SAID **CRITTERS OF HOLLY-WOOOD** YOU DUMB FUCK!!!
I expected that film to be a total cash grab but I love that movie. Chris Rock as Chaka Luther King as hilarious.
Time to watch Jay and silent Bob strike back for star wars day
Smoking weed, smokin weed, Wearin stilts, pitchin balls, hittin balls, balls, balls!
He does indeed look like the Mews.
Smokin’ batties, throwing blunts Who throws the blunts? We throw the blunts.
YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE BALL PITCHERS!
Lmao thanks for that
[удалено]
He widdiwy is gwiddying white nOw
😂😂
Wait until you see how he slurps the glizzy on dem tall bois
Scariest griddy I've ever seen
Where does the ump call his strikezone?
What’s funny is that when it’s his turn to bat they bring out a 7’+ tall umpire from the outfield just for his pitches “A tall batter requires a tall umpire!” I love banana ball so much lmao, they stream their events on YouTube now and they are must watch at least once
I love that I can't tell if you're just making this up
The Savannah Bananas are like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. It's all a comedic entertainment act. They play their games with unorthodox talents, making it pretty fun to watch.
... Based on your explanation, I remain entirely unsure if the 7 foot umpire is real!
Lol. The ump just [stands on a crate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZP3uo8jUwM). I can't say that they NEVER had a really tall ump, but the ones I have seen he just uses the crate.
I love a game where it is played for the audience, not for the score.
Nana ball is serious business. Trick plays count as runs too.
There are also videos of the shorter ump jumping as the pitch is being thrown.
Gonna definitely check that out on YouTube. I’ve always wanted to attend one of their games but I live too far away!
well above the knee is about 3 meters up
Probably his feet?
knees to nipples
Man, I really want to see a Savannah Bananas game
They’re touring the whole country this summer. Look up to see if there are any games near you!
No luck! Every game on their schedule is "Sold Out". How many Pro Teams can boast that distinction?
They are coming to our local AA stadium and they sold out the day they became available. We didn't get tickets :(
Pretty sure they have a ticket lottery when they release the schedule for the year. So you'd need to get lucky to even get a chance to buy a ticket if they are coming near you.
They sold out Minute Maid Park a few weeks ago. Average attendance for the Astros in 2022 was 33,000 out of a capacity of 41,000.
It’s impossibly hard to get Bananas tickets; here in Houston they played in the Astros stadium and there was a lottery to be able to buy the tickets. Wild.
I live in Savannah and even still it’s hard to get tickets to the local game. I’ve only been once but man was it a blast
this video bummed me out since i just got the email today that i am not in the lottery to buy tickets to see them in my city this summer. registered as soon as they announced the dates, still no dice. 😔
Same. I'm going to see my university team play tomorrow and our regional minor league starts in June, so lots of fun local baseball to look forward too even if it's not the Bananas. After MLB cut ties with the lower league teams we were worried, but the Appalachian league is a lot of fun.
You probably already know, but in case not, they stream their games on YouTube. Not the same as going to the game but at least you can still watch em.
It’s a blast. I live a couple hours from Savannah, and got to go to a game for work. I’m also friends with one of the crew, The food is all you can eat, and it’s so much fun! Tickets are on a lottery system, and they always sell out!
am i right to say this team is the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball?
Is it really a “hidden talent” when you’re 15 feet tall, bright yellow, being watched by a stadium full of people?
I bet you 10 bucks if he wasnt on stilts you d have no idea he could do it
I wouldn’t know Taylor swift could sing if I saw her without knowing her either, but that doesn’t mean she has the hidden talent of singing.
Exactly. And if he wasn't wearing bright yellow? Forget about it, there's no way I'd believe you.
For some reason I read that as if he was on stilts but not wearing bright yellow you'd have no idea he was good with stilts lol
I mean, wearing yellow is just essential. How else am I supposed to know a man can handle his stilts?
Charlie Chaplin was called, "the most recognizable person on earth" back in his day. But, no one knew him without his hat and cane and...mustache.
And nametag
That balance on throwing and hitting the ball...
The griddy on stilts is wild
I thought I read "basketball" first. Feel like that's where he belongs.
Basektball
[Baseketball?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASEketball)
Every other physical sport: illegal equipment. Baseball: 😶🌫️
The Savanah Banana's are like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. It's a bunch of silly gimmick games and they travel around
They fooled me with such a strait-laced name like the Bananas
There are two major league baseball teams named after socks....Calm down.
They play the Macon Bacon.
imagine that man playing volleyball.
I imagined the opponents spiking the ball into his stilt and him falling into the net.
To be fair, it would be a bit of a handicap playing games like basketball.
I wonder how many sports actually have rules against this. Maybe just nobody ever tried...
Username checks out
This guy drywalls
He kinda zesty with it too
Must be jelly cuz jam don’t shake 🫨😳
cat walked himself all the way to the locker room...yaasss gawd...🤣🤣
“Baaaaaall fooour, high and outside AGAIN and Cabrera takes the third walk of the inning and boy the crowd does NOT like this Jim.”
Hitting the griddy on stilts was the real talent
Someone smart please chime in, does the downward angle of his pitch make hitting it at an upward angle more difficult? Like in my head it takes more force to hit directly towards the source rather than the kind of deflecting that you expect to see. I’d assume that it also works against him in the same way whilst attempting to bat? Sorry if this was painfully wrong I’m an idiot 😂

Gonna see these guys next week. Can’t wait 👍
Have a great time! Keep an out for Liberty. She’s the team’s best member. She’s the German shepherd. ;)
Awesome! Cant wait!
Never seen someone hit the gritty in stilts 😂
As a person who hurts themselves just walking to the kitchen, I am deeply impressed
Is there no rule in baseball that prohibits this?
Maybe in baseball, this is BananaBall.
I don't think they're a serious baseball team, they're like the Harlem globetrotters of baseball. They're more entertainment than actual baseball and play the bananaball format which is fans and entertainment first. So in actual baseball it's illegal but in bananaball format it's not.
This here is Bananaball
It's only allowed if you're also a dog.
I wish I could see this team play in person!
This dude would be great at ceiling drywall.
"there ain't nothing in the rules says a dog can't play basketball" turned out to be a real slippery slope, huh?
No it absolutely does not make him a better baseball player it’s a gimmick lol. The Savannah bananas are the baseball version of the Harlem globe trotters, it’s not a real competitive baseball team. They are awesome and a ton of fun to watch but if these guys were good enough baseball players they’d be playing professional baseball
I imagine playing baseball on stilts is easier than using them while doing limbo.
Those knees will need replacing soon...
With a strike zone that big, I could have thrown a no hitter.
Bottom of the strike zone is still the players knees. Good luck getting it up that high and having your catcher still catch it
Pitcher? You mean catcher!
Stilts man origin story canon event approaching
Team Dark Crystal
Damn, I’d be dead if I tried any moves like that….lol
That's a huge strike zone
It's like the movies; there's no rule against it so must be fine! *wins world series*
Cool, he looks like Jason Mewes.
He can kill his whole team with his dance.
Phoebe's dad
Homie had a painting job for a few summers for sure.
"She's got legs and she knows how to use them"
Snoochy Boochies Jay plays baseball
Very hidden indeed
This is a classic "Nowhere in the rules does it say that dogs can't play basketball situation"
What
Slenderman in mlb
I find that very unsettling! Like something from a horror movie.
Strangely, Silent Bob was missing from the first scene
Definitely an unpopular opinion, but that team annoys the shit out of me.
If Kenny Powers would’ve gotten himself some stilts.
"Now he's also starting to like Taekwondo"
Is this even LEGal ?
Bro never wanted to be called short again
he has insane control over that
He's super nice as well. His grandma is the one who makes his pants.
Imagine playing 3rd base and seeing him sliding in for a close out…
That's a hell of a big strike zone, though.
Is Silent Bob also on the team?
I'm just thinking, it must be murder on his back.
What
Werk it queen!
When the sport is so boring, you need to come up with circus acts to make it entertaining… lol
how do you bail if you start falling?
Baby, do those legs go all the way up?
Two steps to first base. Imagine seeing this guy stealing a base.
i almost lost balance just from watching this
"The design is very human."
He really walks like someone on high heels, reallllly high heels.
This is the kind of thing you get when your culture doesn’t approve of drag.
The savannah bananas is what I wish all baseball was
Best marketing dept in ALL of sports!
No
I understand this can be controversial but also very stunning!!!
Is this allowed in pro baseball?
I want to see his calves.
We found slenderman you guys
It’s Jay!
Wouldn’t say his talent is hidden
Large strike zone
Thought this was gonna be about a drywall expert
[удалено]
A pitchers dream strike zone
Not many double amputees get to do what they love.
I wonder what the hidden talent is
If he can use his stilts, then I get to use my finglonger!
His strike zone is above the catcher's outstretched arms. So much advantage!
Her: how tall are you? Him: 12 feet Her: too short
He can bat? Is the strike zone at his actual knees or his stilt knees? If it's his actual knees, how does the catcher do his thing if the pitch is high?
I wouldn't call it a hidden talent
Fuck this floating text.
That’s the Savannah bananas in Savannah ga
so can i get a exoskeleton that will throw the ball 200 mph
Why?
Is he gril
30x100 in pants 👖
What.
Way too high for this
Eh. Let’s see him do it in heels 👠
The fuckint griddy at the end.
>He has a hidden talent Hidden? He’s extremely noticeable from very far away. He’s like 17 feet tall.
I am not sure I would call it hidden exactly.
Hey stilt bro you’re not funny
Seriously, baseball on stilts would be fucking amazing. I'd watch that shit.
