from Modern Wisdom · host Chris Williamson

I hit 450k Subscribers on YouTube!! To celebrate, I asked for questions and got nearly 1000 this time, so here's another 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. As usual there's some very cool questions in here about my experience on Joe Rogan's podcast, dating advice for young people and my thoughts on masculinity. Expect to learn whether I think Jordan Peterson should debate Andrew Tate, how to become a better speaker, whether I would rather fight Joe Rogan or Mike Tyson in an MMA match, if TikTok is a harbinger of the apocalypse, whether I'm worried about too much fame, my favourite supplements to stay sharp, how to make friends when you're growing as a person, how to succeed in dating without using apps and much more...

TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

I think that a lot of people now are just behaviorally compulsive when it comes to spending time in the front. You've ever done this, this is a part of the compulsion, right? On a plane, you pull your phone out of your pocket. You know that you don't have signal and yet you still cycle through a bunch of different apps that you would usually know that there's no pay off coming.

That's not part of the addiction, that's part of the compulsion. Well, some people welcome back to the show. It is a 450,000 subscriber Q&A episode. I know it's not been long since the 400,000 episode, but it's been a good run this year, okay?

And after 500,000, it's gonna be every 100,000 subs that we do Q&A. So this is the last little one we're going to do as usual. So if you ask for questions on Instagram and YouTube and locals and Twitter, and it took a certain pen and a tie day to put them into documents. So if you're also done to answer today, I am sorry, try to get an answer down so that lots of questions about Rogan or Andrew Tate or whatever have been pushed into individual ones.

And if you're also done to answer to that next time 500 and do far away. Let's get into it. Noob Gatto, I can watch a username, thoughts on novap. I don't know man, like novap to me seems like it makes sense for people that have pathological factors.

If you've got handling penis for many hours a day or you're scrolling through a point a lot, then simply by stopping doing that, you're going to free up perhaps two hours, maybe more. That's going to give you a lot of productivity benefits. However, I don't think that the levitating of the ground and wouldn't be able to smell your pheromones and test us around through the roof. I'm a little bit more cautious around that.

So I don't have a particular version of fap and also not a fanboy. Johnny Q. Qi, you sent a little too crisp how about audience capture and other phenomena. Do you feel any of these reflectors yourself or are there any that you've got against?

Yes, I think that any creator Chris and myself included would agree that audience capture is a big deal that you can be careful of. People don't understand. When you're a creator and you start making stuff on the internet, you find that certain pieces of content end up resonating more with the audience. And that can create a feedback mechanism where you start creating what you want to create and instead create what the audience wants to see.

This is like the sold out with a shield like red meat for the whatever mob thing that people get accused of. And the problem is that once you start to go down that path, it's basically possible to turn back around. I think that it's permanently a dynamic that I need to be conscious of and try as best as I can. It's difficult because people can resonate with that.

So because it's genuinely amazing and interesting and value all they can resonate with that. So because it's red meat, click bait, lowest common denominator, limit high jack bullshit. Working out which ones which is kind of difficult. However, being friends with someone like Chris and a bunch of people helps to keep me in check because they're not going to take my excuse about why I did X, Y, Z.

And just the other thoughts, I'm understanding like, I'm doing this because I genuinely care about what this person has to say. I think that they're interesting and I'm curious about them. And that balance is what's important. Alexander Rosenfeld, what do you invest in crypto real estate stocks or something else?

So almost all of my spend at worth is in real estate. I've got a bunch of properties in the UK, massive fan of vital ads and that's been something I learned from the business market I had when I was in Glorama. That was their process for building a cash and opening into something which had his against inflation, which actually earns which can be capital gains over time. But I'm not super optimized when it comes to the way that my money is moved around real estate to me is something that's good.

But stocks and stuff I put so many into the S&P crypto, maybe five hundred and a half, five hundred and a half, which is probably like one round now. But yeah real estate to me is where I like to put my money on your understanding. And I can see, and yeah, the fact that you have a capital gains generating asset that actually create revenue in the interest as well is pretty cool. Fucking it.

It's hard to give it key. What was it like being on JRE after looking up to him for so long and having to so many episodes of his fantastic buyaways or congratulations on the other. Thank you. It was a little bit surreal being on it.

But no one near as surreal as I thought it probably would have been. The whole experience was, nope, we mean it would be taxing a good it since I got off and I look forward to seeing what happens in a future land. He's a guy, he's an unbelievably competent part of cash as well. If you think of someone that knows what they're doing, you think I've been 500 episodes of this.

I've got an organization where I genuinely understand the awful and then you step into the arena with somebody like him and go, oh holy fuck, this is what it is. His ability to be very casual and meandering with the conversation while still keeping it moving. He's a silencer, fantastic. His ability to ask questions and push what he needs to to sit back.

He's able to prompt responses with statements rather than questions which is unbelievably cool. If you guys boss and I'm happy that I'm connected with him, I'm happy that we're texting and I'm really happy that he was super enthusiastic about me and hearing lessons and stuff I've created. That's pretty cool. I think a few weeks.

Louis, Lex Friedman is already booked, I hope. So me and I, but he's also trying to create a robot, I mean, whatever he does. So, a podcasting isn't the number one priority that he's got. And given that, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

That being said, the rest of his year has some, I've got three bookings that are just outrageous for the remainder of 2022. We're going to say about them. I can say that one will be in Austin, one will be in New York and one will be in Las Vegas. Those are the three that we got.

They're not dates and time in yet because I can't quite release it, but they're beyond huge. The one, the final one in Vegas is just insane. So, yeah, hold on for that one. And Lex, hopefully, that's fine.

Communist hat. Is it correct that you're in the awesome TX areas? I remember that we get to get a single goal. We could be cool to do that on some regular basis.

Maybe we want to quarter every month or two. Or maybe virtual in a Zoom type called. This is from the local community. One of us in local.com.

And yes, we did do meet up and it was very, very fun. And I did a bit of a pandemic of friends and we just had a blast. And maybe 1500 people tend to use a lot of people to hell a lot of people. And everyone was super interesting and super smart.

I would be well up to doing night day. So, yeah, keep your eyes peeled. I guess if you're in the Austin area. Also back in the UK in September for a couple of weddings and a couple of other recordings, I've got that might try and do something in the UK.

It's probably going to be tight. I have to be next. Claire, I'm a clear. What are those things that you use to do when it's a difficult speaking and conversation skills to your show?

I think I mentioned it before, but I think it was simply just putting the rest in with the show itself. So, in a 510, 20 episodes within the space of four years, I do anything 500 times. And you're probably going to get pretty good at it. I also started working with a speech therapist, like I called Miles Ocho, if you Google Speak Well.

I think it's just going to be called the August people at the UK. He's fantastic. I have had some comedy coaching. I've had a bunch of comedy coaching actually.

And I'm considering going to start doing some improv stories. I remember that people like Robin Wright, Dave Grease the groove and sharpen their tools of communication and presence. And yes, and style communication. They've been all of that on stage thousands of times before they even started doing podcasting.

The difference is if you haven't got that stage tight background or classical training or professional training or whatever, the only way you can do that podcasting is to practice in public. And that means that all of your errors are there for people to observe and scrutinize and laugh out over time. But one of the people thinks it needs its track to that progression. You can see episode 150, 150, 250, 250.

You can see how that skillset develops over time, which is cool because you don't move from one movie to the next. It's not such a frequent to be able to see these relations. But yeah, it does have any things. And it's also been very intentional about it as well.

Like, genuinely trying to be better at speaking and conversation and getting comfortable with silence and all of that stuff. And so, I think the difference is you're accident considered to be joyy. Do you think you'll become more text and now you're living in Austin? I would say that it's a twang of Northern.

People that really really know the Northeast of England as accents go, will detect a bit of T-side in there rather than joyy. I don't think that most people would. People need to probably detect that I was somewhere in North, but they wouldn't be able to say, well, I definitely don't think that it's going to become more text. I have to start picking up some text and silence.

But more American silence just because it was words I would have to say twice. So I can't say dropping off just outside of those bins there because there's been a size of the house I live in Austin. The trash cans, right? Like outside of those outside of the trash.

Or talking about dollars using dollars instead instead of talking about pounds. Just little things, it's terminology that has to change. But it's exactly how I can't see anything. Silent seaker.

To become the current podcast king, you need to fight either Joe Rogan or Mike Tyson and who rules about who would you choose and why do you have any martial arts training? Oh, do you be eyes closed, wind, milling in. Fuck that's a good question. So I watched Joe have his knee, he had a bump on his knee like a bruise.

The first thing that happened when I arrived at the studio was he came in check hands and said, hi, and then he's nervous it's on side at all times. Hope to hold his knee and I watched him squeeze like bruise fluid out of his knee for 10 minutes. I really don't want to be anywhere near an angry version of that guy. I think Mike Tyson said he was on the verge of death recently.

Those headlines talking about Mike Tyson was out of his knee and he was like, I still think Mike Tyson is going to be angry. But if I can somehow incapacitate the arms, I'm going to go to the legs. So I'm going to take Mike and strategy just run it in very, very fast until he gets tired. It's not to low weed, try and catch him on a Sunday or something like he plays out of his mind.

I head to the side guys. Do you think you've been disadvantaged by your looks? That's a good question. I was lamenting the difficulty of somebody that comes from a modeling reality teapat ground to being taken seriously in the world of whatever you want to call this.

Sense making or talking on the internet, right? It can cause people to have presumptions about what it is that you're going to talk about or about the quality of your insights because you have a particular look. However, I've kind of come to realize that that's just a difficult needle to thread to be able to say, yeah, like the fact that you come from modeling background actually makes everything more difficult. Like maybe it does, but it's very difficult to say that a person who came from an oogly background would not be more disadvantaged than someone at the time.

Like just because many professors might not have super cool drip doesn't mean that they've got a better advantage than people that come from the background. So no, I think overall, no, the hell, in fact, is real. People that are like classically looking at something that have better outcomes throughout their lives. It's supposedly, and it still seems to be a well for my friends that are going to look.

Maybe that's it. Maybe it's maybe all of the intellectual virtue integrity building wisdom stuff. It's all shit. And maybe everyone's just being judged and a lot of the rest of the time.

Madeline, highly, what are the main insights you've gained from your role experience? I'm so many, like I reflected a lot about this in a week after I recorded a joke. A lot of the stuff to do with his ability and I've tried to bring the elements of that that I think I'm lacking across into the show. So I'm trying to be more casual and conversational.

In terms of actual insights from conversation, the main one I took away, which I put in the three minute news, I'm not subscribed. You can go and sign it right now. It's ChriswillX.com, so I'm free reading list with 100 books that you should read before you die. And it sounds like you have been waiting list and a lot of things I spoke about in Rogan.

I've written in that news like over the last two years, they've been concepts that come up with a stone from us while I'm piecing together. And the one that I came up with there is just because something is difficult to attain doesn't mean that it's valuable. So Rogan was talking about the fact that a lot of people would hold up in high claim, but watching your wearing a car that you're driving a little bit with. And people get confused and believe that that is something which is worthwhile.

Simply because it's difficult to attain. But anyway, saying it and you realize hang in a second, this isn't actually worthwhile. It's just hard. And the challenge of getting it is used as a proxy for the value of it.

And I was like, holy f... I got there before, and finished saying it, and I was like, this is amazing. So that was the best insight. That was like three hours that I would have done, that one insight was worth it 100%.

Be couch 37. How do you retain all the knowledge and insights that are introduced to you on your show? I don't. There's this concept from Tim Ferriss School.

I look at me using a concept from Tim Ferriss School. It's an idea from Tim Ferriss School, the good shit sticks. And that is the best solution that I found. If you're someone who consumes a lot of content on the internet.

And you don't have the type of demeanor that has a perfect external brain, personal knowledge management system thing like T. I go full-to-to-to-to. If you don't have that, just allow the good shit to stuff that resonates with you, essentially, to stick about. Because it will.

The insights like that one from Rogan about worthwhile and valuable, I can't remember it. I couldn't forget it even if I wanted to. And I think a lot of the time we see something that doesn't resonate with us. And we presume that because it's interesting or cool, maybe it was said by somebody that we think is respectable, has a good insight about life that we should remember it because maybe we'll need it in future.

And maybe that's true. But for the most part, I think we can see more information. We can see too much, not too little. And given that the golden rule is about filtering, not seeking.

So about getting signal from the noise as opposed to getting more noise. And for me, the best solution that I found, maybe it's a cop. Maybe it's a cop that I don't have a structured personal knowledge management system. But just allowing stuff that really resonates with me to stick about and everything else just falls away.

So the reason that the ideas that I got to talk about specifically on Rogan, but also on show, the reason that I know them so well is because I genuinely care about them is not much that in my mind that something that's simply the story that I can bring up because it was something that was super meaningful to me. I thought, fuck, I need to keep all of that. That's the best solution I found. Just allow the stuff that you care about to rise to the top.

Maybe do a little bit of studying. Every so often certainly the news that I've been using is a hugely important way because I have to teach it kind of. I teach it to myself. I guess I'm writing to me.

There's just like 40,000 people in my mailing list. I listen to it too. Having an outlet is great. The final technique of teaching and order to be able to remember yourself.

But it's a lot of good to say. I think that works. Delia Burgess. How long did you graduate on a Mism before you felt like really gain traction?

So I think we did more plays in a single day on YouTube one like many of the days of R&22 than in the entire first two years, maybe in the first three years of the entire channel. I certainly know that I did more plays this week on audio than the entire first two years of audio plays. So basically forever. That's the way that any exponential curve looks.

Every time you start to zoom out a little bit more and move a bit further along the curve, the previous however long looks poultry because it's just flat. And then it's just a hockey stick. So forever basically, like we've meaning of work in relative silence and darkness for three years, three and a bit years probably until the previous episode. But Peterson was like episode 360 something I think.

So we don't have a lot of work up until the point of which we're no longer completely invisible. And then even looking at the plays that Peterson got back in the day where April 2021. What we do now makes that look tiny. So basically if you want to do something like a podcast or a YouTube channel, don't expect immediate results, but expect huge results if you keep on sitting at it five years down the line because most people are given up by that point.

Lewis, why don't you have more followers? All the content I've seen of yours is of high quality with stimulating conversation between four individuals even after the mechanism that is broken. I don't know. The literary budget said it's a very, very long game to get to any appreciable size of growth.

And especially on YouTube, you have to think even though you guys are listening. And me, I had the long form conversations I can sit and listen to. I'll be somebody for four hours or real into a big episode. But that's not what most of the internet is after most of the internet is bored by TikToks.

You know, like this comment on YouTube channel that says who's got the time to sit and listen to an hour and a half conversation. Well, obviously not you. So it's still an unbelievably niche medium to be pushing stuff down. I think about even TV.

I can go to this TV needs to split up segments into two to three minutes so that they can get to next that break within the next 10. I think that we will get there. I'm confident in conversations. The skillset that means being able to work for other people.

But everything's just in case now we're continuing to enjoy the ride, find new interesting people. They're better at what I need to do, network more, bring on fantastic guests, trying to do new different things like high quality productions and bring people that no one's heard of before. That's it. It's just a case of playing the time game.

The more followers will come and it's got to say to now where I'm pretty confident that that's going to happen. So I don't know anything to worry about. Like more followers are going to continue to arrive. We passed the fragile right and got even something from arriving.

So all I've got to do is enjoy the journey. I think not Leo Tolstoy. I thought I'd say talk about the podcast. Red policies, even your Instagram video talk about that.

Do you think it's manipulative in making generation addicted? Yes, absolutely. I do not like to talk. I do not use it.

The social media guys look after the short videos. I make a post on my behalf. And I do not like going on that. It is perfectly designed to keep people on that.

I never forget me and George Mack were in Dubai two years ago. Notice this girl that George was talking to in the bar and they got on to screen time something. He said, can you show me how much time he's running for this guy spent 12 hours a day on her phone. George went and had a look and it was eight hours a day on TikTok.

Absolutely fucking wild. Like how on earth anything's that that is a good way to spend your time. And it's not just an addiction. It's a compulsion.

And this is a different I've learned from Andrew Cuban that the addiction involved a payoff. The compulsion doesn't have a payoff on the other side of it. And I think that a lot of people now are just behaviorally compulsive when it comes to spending time on the phone. Like how many times you've ever done this is part of the compulsion.

You're on a plane. You pull your phone out of your pocket. You know that you don't have signal and yet you still cycle through a bunch of different apps that you would usually. You know that there's no payoff coming.

That's not part of the addiction. That's part of the compulsion. So yeah, I don't like to talk. I think that if the opportunity was there, it's 100% negative.

Just burn it to the ground. MMA wrapped up. Why do men have only fans? I'm going to guess I mean why do men pay for only fans as opposed to why do why are there men only fans selling their news?

I think it's sad. Lonely men that being commercialized by girls that can do. And partly things are all. Is it on the goals?

Do not do that. These guys are willing to pay them. It's like the virtual girlfriend experience thing. But it's a sad state of effect that we might get ourselves to that deposition.

And we're all talking to patriarchy and capitalist greed. I think it's like 10% of only fans models make 95% of income. Something like that is hugely skewed towards the top view. And you have to think that this is basically the reverse of a collision society where you have one man with many women.

Because he have one woman with many men. And a lot of these men are actually going to feel, I don't know, some sense of obligation or connection with this woman. So there's a power dynamic between change that which is pretty interesting. Eddie fresh, do you consider yourself to be part of the manner of fear?

I don't know what that is to be honest. I brought it to Joe. He laughed. I really don't know.

It would all depend on whose definition of that it is. If Madison means people that have any interesting conversations on the internet about the roles of many women in modern society. Yes, that would be me. If it's men being assisted in understanding their place in the world and how to moderate their behavior given the new stimulus in the environment that we have.

Yes, I would also be bothered. But the whole red pill, black pill, in cell, make towel, fresh and fair, PUA stuff is not, that's not right. I'm not bringing on girls to berate them and tell them that they're high-pugamous and all that stuff. But I do want to be an interesting conversation about how men can have a family place to stand in the world.

I think that the valuable conversation to have. I think that women will have better men to get into relationships with women. The ones that are single because men are the ones that are unable to get into relationships. It's not good for anybody at the moment.

And I do think that women are on average doing better than men. That doesn't mean that women need to be brought down. That means that we need to be able to help to raise men up. And I think a lot of the manners of fear is focused on bringing women back down as opposed to helping men to focus on just to get as better as you can.

That's not to say that men have problems. That's not to say that they're on a centuries in the way that the world is designed, or particularly to be raised up. My point is simply that men need to do as well as they can. And they need to be playing a positive game as much as possible in collaboration with women.

And that communication across the board from men to women is one of the reasons why keep on bringing on girls on the show. Nina, how are Louise Perry, Mary Harrington, and talking to women about men's problems in the desperate attempts to show that you can have conversations about this. I think that's very important. And the Farole V, John Peterson and Andrew Tate, need to have a conversation with thoughts.

Do they? What do they talk about? What would Andrew Tate and John Peterson talk about? Andrew is blowing up on the incident at the moment.

He recently got mainstream media. They were trying to cancel their victims and stuff. It came out a long time ago. But brother, that I know John Peterson fan and me and Andrew know me for a long time.

That conversation doesn't make sense. There's conversations that I would be interested to see. Andrew have a very interesting team to talk to Logan and Jake Paul. I would be interested to see him sit down one with us on Abby.

John Tate is in the next time. Mark Speedman, how do you feel about receiving the invite to Rogan slash how do you prepare the night before? Okay. So he'd be underneath me on Instagram.

So I'm reporting the 400 take you in here for you guys. Right. And I'm saying some asks, when you're going on Rogan's like, follow me on Instagram, but I don't even know if you know who I am. I honestly thought he was accidental, follow something.

Then I finished that. I got a training and I come back. And I found out that as I was saying, I don't think Joe Rogan knows who I am. I received a message from Joe saying, hey brother, let's go to podcast on Instagram.

I was like, holy fuck, put the phone down. And honestly, look at a wall for about three minutes. Just didn't know what to say. And then message Dean.

And I said, well message him a ton of times on Facebook. I was like, Deanie, what, then you want me to speak to you. You're like, yeah, what's wrong with something. And I was like, something screenshot.

So it kind of terrifying. The most scary thing with the whole Rogan process was the invite because that was the biggest change. I think in expectation, because you go from zero to 100 on that everything else, you know, the preparation, the sitting down, the going in the studio, the meeting, all that stuff. And then I just, once you're on the road, that's just part of you, you can see me down the tracks.

Like, the invite was the most terrifying part. How did you prepare the night before? I got a taxi back from Dallas at midnight. And I got into Austin at four AM two days before.

Right. So I was trying to fly back from Virginia, Norfolk, Virginia, Norfolk, Virginia, Flight Council moved my flight to Newport News, Flight Council moved my flight to Richmond, Virginia, drove from now and fought to get there all thinking, if I can just get to Austin tonight and sleep in my bed, I'll get one night sleep and then I'm going to be broken. I've got there flight from Richmond gets delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, finally actually makes it. I'm thinking for fuck's sake.

If I wake up in Richmond tomorrow morning with Rogan, then I'm going to feel that I'm going to be worried. I'm going to sleep and feel good, blah, blah, got into Dallas at midnight and then got an Uber for four hours from Dallas to Austin, which cost 320 bucks, wasn't that bad, but the guy drove it as a, so we had to stop twice on route. And to be fair, the dude that gave me a lift was an absolute legend. You and kid, just did everything and anything that was needed to get me back.

It was been push-ups and lunges during the break. So he's obviously in person development and if I was in again, I'm going to be able to be a big, that was a big part of it. What would be the next day? And then managed to move myself into a relatively okay cycle, got to sleep at the final night and then yeah, train a morning felt great.

Went to Rogan's at one game or something and then crack up. Her sea grow, heard 350 k-pot, you mentioned not wanting to go past the level of fame, any change. Okay, yeah, so this article from Tim Ferriss called 13 Reasons Not To Get Famous and you should go read it once you finish listening to this because it's very cool. He basically talked about what happens if you blast through a ceiling fame.

I actually told Rogan about this after the podcast when we're chilling out and I don't think it's going to something right now. I mean, I'm not even small, I'm not so small and I'm like nanofri, but there definitely is such a thing as too much time. And I wouldn't like to go past it. The problem being that how do you stop, you know, if you think that you do that you really value and care about is continuing to grow.

What do you do? Do you try and be less effective at the growth of a thing that you really care about because maybe in two years time you're going to be moving such a speedy, you can't stop it when you blast through some ceiling of fame that means you can't go to put a gym anymore or whatever. It's such an interesting conversation because so few people have these problems. So few people have the problem of breaking through that and then for the people that do their basically know mental models or accepted wisdom around how to deal with it.

And also it's like a boob, it's like a disadvantage being good looking or whatever. Booboo, who's going to cry to the person who's got too much of fame or too much recognition or money or something. Basically no one. But it's an interesting challenge.

I mean, Andrew Tate has definitely blasted through weight in which way you're living too much fame. Now when you can't go anywhere without security, to me that seems like that's a heavy price to pay. And you need to make sure that you have resources, like monetary resources that allow you to live a life that is still comfortable and not constrained by the constraints of fame. So for instance, if you can't go to the gym, a local commercial gym because you're going to be more of a couple of other videos or two questions, you need to have a money coming in in order to be able to build a job home.

Maybe if I'm trying to bring a friend or whatever. The same thing goes to dinners. You need to be able to have a private dining area every time you want to go out. If that's the thing you want to do.

It's a fascinating discussion. I really want to do about just somebody about this. I'm not going to get into that. But that makes something like keeping in mind.

Nick. Ron Baskis. Favorite clothing brands. I wear a lot of Zara.

Tons of Zara. That was kept me going for probably a decade now. That is the only place in America that I might have defined that is consistent with European styles. A lot of the stuff that gets made for American art designs and different styles, different kind of big and garish.

And when it comes to sportswear, at the moment I'm all over the place because I'm in between sponsors. However, there will be a new sportswear sponsor coming on to Mona Bismber soon. And gas to start working with them. But I've got stuff from Reebok, Defantastic, A sauce, and A sauce crush.

A sauce on label for pretty much everything I think it's called. A 506 or something, 4506 it might be. Yeah, 4506 is their sports wear brand. And they make awesome shorts.

And they're 12 pounds or 13 pounds or something. And I've got one of every single different color. And I'm like, Jose Vargas. What do you thought some Bitcoin can have half of what you own?

Jose, as I said earlier on, I may be owned five brands. A Bitcoin and there is not going to be very much left. So you can have all of it and probably one of the types of signs we've been back down. Two-oh-no counter.

You are so very British. How does that feel? Imperial. Mizki, holy.

I thought you were in early 20s. But your reason is something to make me think of this is off. 34. But I'll take the compliment.

The same week, I think that I spoke about the moisturizer thing on this last Q&A. So I'm going to put your keys again of hangout talks, which is fine. Yui. Jui-yun-yun.

What colors are you getting? I need to take the money upon you. Why aren't you buying everyone? So, okay.

Alvin Rivera. I heard your work a creepy clutter monitor. Is it true? I was a clutter promoter.

And a lot of clutter motors are creepy. I think one of the problems you have as a clutter monitor is your entire currency that you traffic in is direct messages. Messaging individual people saying, hey, you have to hangout tonight, I make you up and I'm like, that is literally how you get people from nothing. And then you're being in venue.

If that constitutes being clicker, then I was a previous of them all. But it was not that we were most successful. So, perfect course. Allu is earthy.

Russell Brandt, please. But, at the moment, he's kind of gone a bit like New World Order, they're coming for you. You won't believe what's happened. This is just the beginning.

I would be very interested to have a single look, man. Is that any way that you can ratchet down the volume, the company out online? It's holy shit. It's so spicy.

Everything is the most extreme. I don't know. He's obviously got a kind of extreme personality. That's somebody that went to complete extreme of drug use, the complete extreme of the game itself to film.

The game of the section was that only in the film, getting to the Greek. I can't remember. Interesting guy, lots of things to talk about. We love to have a lot of tests.

But we also definitely need to change them about, come on, man. Let's just fucking bring it down a little bit. A little bit piece. LJ-22.

Congratulations on 450,000. I'll use the strange formula for the question, hopefully it makes sense. Narty one, that's 2022 is headline by an 80-year-old with special guests with 72 and 53. Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Rose, back to me.

In the same week, this is the place that K-1 was in the one you get your answer to the song that originally released 37 years earlier. Youth culture is suffering, and these places headline and ghasthenry is slash, behind the one in shot should be the preserve of people who aren't drawing a pension. That's in quotes. The content majority of people who are consumed in the 24 hours will be created in the preceding 24 hours.

High quality on social media carousel, driving it to speed of light. Content that cannot claim legitimacy in cultural stamina as it won't have the opportunity to endure and be tested. And, of course, in your opinion, from a cycle perspective, should both of these things causes concern, or just the existence of both simultaneously mean that there is no issue. So Narty one is about the fact that older people and older pieces of content, like Lindy stuff, is popular at moment.

Narty two, the concern is that most of the content everybody consumes, is not Lindy. I think that both of these things can be true without fixing the problem of the other. I don't have any issue with older musicians crushing it because your musicians are definitely crushing it. I would be honest, I would just imagine that the most streamed album by female ever in a single day.

Lots and lots of young artists that are doing absolutely fine. As far as I can see, it might be wrong. Totally sweet for pay bush to be no one in the chance of the 40-year-old song. That's pretty cool.

The content majority of people being consumed in last 24 hours being created in last 24 hours isn't fixed by the fact that the stuff at the top of the tree is Lindy. Like, you can have 99% of the content that's consumed to be not Lindy. And then the 1% to be Lindy. I, like, pre-normal on period of time.

That'd be the stuff that's the most visible or important on highest status. And then the 99% be almost everything else and it'd be complete. You're also totally in the high-jacket. Both of those things aren't problem with the pop-in stuff that is not fixed.

There's no assistance at the top end stuff that fixes the bottom and stuff. No, basically we need to try and dial down how much content we consume. We need to encourage people to make longer, long form or at least long lifespan pieces of content that hopefully everyone is actually going to enjoy over time. Most of the stuff that everybody creates, they wouldn't even want to see or even remember in too much time.

And yet you've spent five seconds or 10 seconds or 15 seconds watching it. It's like, that by definition is mindless. So I don't think that there is no issue. I still think that there is an issue.

And no amount of cake bush number one is going to fix the fact that almost everything everyone consumes has been made in the last day. Malcolm Larry, how many new subs? It's actually down at the JRE. I don't know yet.

Right now today when I'm putting this, one of my most amazing numbers in number two in all podcasts in America, which is fucking insane. Number two in all podcasts. Number two in Canada ahead of the full cent podcast. Then that boy's just had Elon Musk on that podcast.

I have no idea what to think about that. But the YouTube is already doing great. That's been flying pretty much all year. Like the spikes for sure, but it's just increasing the growth trajectory.

It's not, it was a big bump on all the other. But the video on YouTube is just a beast all the time in the moment. So yeah, long live the growth trajectory. 51 North.

Did you watch it live out in 2022? I saw tiny snippets on nothing outside of Twitter. I saw something with it and then my boy, Hal went on so much a little bit of him. He's in beyond right.

We've got all of this. We could be able to catch up with him. No, I've never watched, I didn't watch my tie season through when I did seven years ago. I didn't watch that back.

I haven't watched any of the other seasons since then. It would have been very easy to just do a live island react stuff, especially as an islander. That would have been a way to, I guess, kick side of the channel. We did a live island thing, which was the first episode of the episode.

That would have been audience capture right going back to why I said it's hard. How do I just turn into live island wisdom? That would have been audience capture. But I have no desire to spend.

I lived it, right? I spent a month living on the island. I don't need to go back and then voluntarily watch more of it. I've spent more time in that villa than almost anybody that's watching it.

So jumping in and deciding to watch it again. It's like, okay. Cameron 498, then how sexy is your monomiscive episode of Rogan going to be? If and when we get in confirmed, I asked him on show at the end of my episode on his.

But man, like, I love to bring on the show and he's like, yes. If it might not happen, we will do something very special. We'll do something that looks fucking spectacular for that. Michael Jag, where are you shopping for waving your garments in America?

Do it honestly is the only place, it's the only place I'm going to find that I can shop and so far. That in a sauce, I'm pretty sure that a sauce is a British company that just happens to fulfill in America. Mindful niche, a Senegalese pirate has both your parents captive, watch your tactic to get them back. Ring-10 kind of, you got some kind of these number.

Ring-10, say Tim, I need you to go and help me kill a Senegalese pirate and I imagine that that's the sort of thing that's him literally lives for. Ring him, watch chaos and shoot. Nathan Mars, what's your Rogan subconsciously part of the time when moving to America? If it was a bunch of us, we wouldn't have known about it.

There's certainly a good ecosystem that's being built up in Austin because of him being here, and Alice and Lex and Alex Jones, like Hugh Sean, not being named. every else in the drinking rose, or remarkus, took him back. There's a lot of creative people that crush Olivia. I don't know.

He is the guy that makes this industry at the moment. He's the trendsetter, I suppose, and getting that exposure is pretty perfect, but it definitely wasn't part of the formal plan at all. When you achieve, when will you hire people to free up time for yourself? Fantastic question.

You and Owen, sorry. I don't know. I mean, I really could do a general manager now that just picks out all the bits of grit from the operation and is sufficiently familiar with the way that the creative industry works, podcasting, adds all that stuff because it is very, very, very helpful. That being said, and this is something that I've been thinking about more recently.

Sometimes I get not more, it's like frontie mocking, I suppose. But a lot of the podcast is that find out a lot of the podcast is to find out how much work I do for the show, kind of scoff a little bit because it is a bit dumb. This will be the person that comes up with the thumbnail design brief for the designer, which is the person that titles the episodes, the person that writes the show notes, the person that records the intros from the show notes, the editor, the audio, the audio, all that stuff. But that being said, one of the reasons that we've had such a growth is you have has to be attributed to the fact that I'm paying a lot of care and attention to this that goes out.

The title is perfectly matched up early, so I try to make a perfect match with what the episode developer does. Because I was the one that recorded the episode. I have to be the person that knows what's in the episode better than anybody else. Because I was the one that was there.

I researched it, I recorded it, I listened back to it. So part of it is, I know, inefficient and it would be fantastic. And it will be fantastic when I get a general manager in who can start to open up operations a little bit and make it more so I can at least alleviate some of the work over me. But on the flip side, there's a desire for people to utilize leverage and delegation before they're actually in a place when they should do.

And I think that those people aren't necessarily getting the results of the one because maybe the people they delegated to, you know, 80% or 70% as good as they are. But what they figured at the time to do isn't adding as much value as if they took over the stuff to make a difference. The difference is we're going to show how well they researched, how residue feel, what's the tightening of the look like, all that stuff. It's like it's going to be a bit different.

So actually quite, maybe this is a cope again as well. But the fact that I just feel delegating responsibility. I don't know. But yes, if you know someone that's an unbelievable operator, a really slow operator with your experience of dealing with chaos and understanding the podcast in the industry well, I believe we will.

There will probably be a job listing for them coming up pretty soon. And on the flip side, in the meantime, I am more than happy to continue eating shit because I think that that is what setting the show apart amongst other things from everything else. The average savage episode on Jerry re-resinated with me, I'm going through. Thank you.

I mean, I've already missed you. It's like that. Especially the last hour and a half was exactly what I wanted to get out on that show. And I'm very, very glad to hear that a lot of stuff that we spoke about, because many people feel less alone.

P novel-free. When number, you tell me, man, I didn't know car. I literally don't know car. So the number would just be for show, for show.

It would just be for show, for show. For show. Whatever. I wouldn't get the right end.

I don't know. The number would be cool. But I think just getting a dry design and a car in America would probably be a pretty good idea. Also, Americans are awful at writing.

There's some of the worst drivers that I've ever seen in my life in Austin. The Lamo might be a bad idea, like Prius, maybe, better. Or a battering round of some kind. Tommy McNee, have you now given a promoting in America full-time?

So I'm going to do a full episode or a full video at least like a YouTube video on this soon. My position within Voodoo is slowly being filed back. And there will be, like, a full exit from that, I think, pretty soon. Darren has everything on lock in the UK.

And I'm super super proud of what we built there. And I couldn't be happier that I'm now able to do something that I really love. And he is now able to make more money doing something that he has underneath the continent. And it opened up roles for some of the young lads that come through as well.

And they take it on more responsibility. Everybody's one from a situation. But for more full details and stuff like everything, something like sales, something like that, and it will be cool. Because it'll be interesting lessons, I think, about exiting a company and letting go of a sense of connection, like existential connection between you and something you've created.

And that's difficult, but it's kind of beautiful, but it's kind of sad, but it's kind of awesome at the same time. It's interesting. Brett's JMCC is reading this Voodoo coming just about 4,000 weeks. You mentioned a few times.

Yes, 4,000 weeks by Aldeburgen is fantastic. Everyone should go and check that out. If you haven't got copy of the reading list, I already told you about it once. Chriswillx.com, such books that you don't get it.

V2, maybe. I wouldn't back into this. I would once had at least 50 bucks in. Just because I think if you're going to download something, you want it to be a big chunky boy, right?

That you can continue to refer back to. I probably got maybe 30, and I think it would be worthy of going on that. It's something I forgot about. I guess maybe it's a little bit 40.

But yeah, I would do a V2 soon. Definitely that before the life-act. I think that the reading list makes more sense than another life-act thing. Because a lot of the life-act kind of joke bits and they don't have quite as much value.

The funny thing to listen to, but I think the reading list is like as far as the reading might go and something that's free that takes, you know, another way to put together. But it's basically every green and has shits, tons of value to people's lives. I think it's nothing out of it. Book, book, book.

When Sam Harris wrote Sam, I read V3. Tree not too boys just got in Tree not too large when I was too LA and I wrote with him and Bill Burr and Adam Corolla after they've been on Rogan after they've been voted with the Ovon and they had someone in New York as well. Those boys are crushing at the moment. So Sam appears to be in the mix of I've got one degree of separation away from him.

But it'll happen eventually. I've got complete fights. I know reason to read the question. ArGs, pick one simulation or go on simulation.

Conner Kendall with some goals I have in life. I find myself triple the times with anxiety advice. Just take one of them out. This is the last 30 minutes of the episode on Rogan.

You can be anything you want, but you can't be everything you want. Pick a thing. I know that this isn't the only thing for the rest of your life. Just pick a thing and get good at that for 90 days or six months or a year.

And then go, OK, where am I? Do I still want to do these other things? So if you would say have all your goals, which is the one that most certain about, which is the one that I think is really, really important to me, just do that one first. And if you can't do that because it sounds like a certain exercise, just pick anything and commit to it.

That's the way to begin. You have to do a thing. It doesn't matter about the thing, just a thing and stop moving forward. And productivity trajectory.

What interesting supplements do you use to stay mentally sharp? OK, I thought it brings every single day elements. First thing in the morning links to all of these will be in the show. It'll be discount codes and stuff like that.

I work with partners that I use because it's super easy to talk about why I like them if I use them every single day elements. First thing in the morning, I thought it brings it every day. Quality amines, which is a product by neuroactive collective is the new topic that I use. I don't use any traffic all the time or I don't use that product all the time.

I do use it today. Any day where I just want a little bit more. And the thing I love about quality mind is they have caffeine free version. So I'm recording this at 10 to 6 and I took maybe four tablets two hours ago.

And I have no problem sleeping because there is zero caffeine in the do with caffeine protein, which is like a big kick of the ass. But the fact that caffeine free version is dope. So I think those and then actually now fish oils, I guess would be part of that. Bim and D would be part of that.

Those would be from my protein. I think that's it. I think water food dietary stuff like that. Some of those, and they'll be linked in the show.

They'll only be discount codes. They won't go and check out any of the things I mentioned. Hey, Ben Dixon, when did you first link with Michael Malice? I called tweet in Malice and he tried to climb me on Twitter two and a bit years ago.

Then he thought that he was going to come on and just totally like run rings and make it full out of his himbo. And we have in this place of 60 minutes, we're going to read plus rents. And then it's been the next two years, talking to each other. Then we've got to listen.

And that what makes me see it every week. So that was the first experience I had with this Malice. Brush and size anchor. What do you not like about Austin so far?

The heat is the most awesome thing to say. But it is 38.39. So 102ish pretty much every single day. It's been 57 days.

Over 37 degrees or 100 degrees. Like triple figures. And if I'm high, I'm pretty unbearable. That being said, we're in August now.

I go away for a week. And then I'm back in the UK for three weeks. And by the time I get back at the end of September, I did a week's weekend. So it's not about price of a month.

But, at least I can. I can't wait to be there. I cannot wait to be there. And the difference between five of me as a father at 34, versus me at 24, or even 28, is a world of heart.

I can't wait to be father. I just need to saw my life out first. Jade Holinski 1990. Do you ever feel like no one really gets you even though they're your best friends?

This I think is the fundamental asymmetry that we have with people that are around us. You get to see your existence from a front row seat. Right? The richness of all the different problems that you have, the way that you feel, the unbelievable detail that you'll serve with.

And all that you want to hear about anybody else is what they tell you. will detail that you'll through stuff with. And all that you want to get to hear about anybody else is what they tell you, which is such a lower bandwidth version of what they feel. And what they tell you isn't everything about they feel because they feel some of the stuff that they feel to what they say.

So you want to get to see this tiny little service review of their world while seeing yours in 1080p. So of course you're going to feel alone. Of course you're going to feel like nobody gets you because there is always this thing. And that being said, you know, there'll be a real community that just doesn't seem to understand you genuinely on a fundamental level.

And there was elements of that to me in the UK, which is one of the reasons why I moved. I think that we're getting with incredibly normal. I don't think that that means that it should be something you either accept or don't try and fix. But don't treat it like a personal curse.

This is just public loss of being a complex individual that has genuine varied interests in the world. There are 7.0 million billion people who have that. You can find people that you will resonate with. You need to go to the work of finding.

Hey, Danny Miranda, what was expected about your appearance on JRE? How comfortable I felt? I think, which is a big credit to Joe and his ability to ease people in. I actually tried to my heart rate.

I haven't got a diet I should have done before now. I tried to my heart rate on my woop throughout to see if I had any peaks to see how I went. But I just felt super, super comfortable. Easy into it, started off straight away.

That was the biggest surprise. If I shit myself on round two, if I go back on it and just can't get my words out, then I know that I used up all of the calm charm that I had on the first one. But that was the next one. I was expecting to think for sure.

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, I love your protests. I always listen to them while I go back to the gym. You've set them off for me about genuine conversation. It looks like listening to these conversations.

Make sure you want to talk to people in that sort of manner. What do you recommend people to do if they're working on themselves with a hard time making friends? I think some of I guess are the second part of the question that was just above. You need to think about what sort of people you want to be friends with are like and where those sorts of people would hang out and go there.

If you want to be friends with people that are always talking about CrossFit, you need to be an crossFit gym. If you want to talk to people that love comedy, you need to go to a comedy class. If you want to yoga, improv, martial arts, whatever it is that you want to do, there is a way that you can find people that select for that. Whether it be dog grooming at some dog show somewhere or cars, it's some sort of car like I've had what's called a drive by, another drive by, what's it called?

Like a car rally type thing. There are people out there that have those interests. Ready for it and fantastic. You know, joining the Patreon or a local community of whatever your favorite creator is, you need to try and select for the people that are like the people that you are like.

They're out there. What's probably trying to do is probably retrofit the people that are around you to be like the stuff that you consume on the internet that people you want to be like. And they're not. You're not able to wait to find an unbelievable unique creator or whatever that has some niche that you care about.

Why would you think that that hasn't gone around the corner? Or just completely easily accessible? They're definitely not. So go out of your way trying to find somebody to think, or go to a place that you know that those sorts of people are going to be in.
