Hello, everybody, welcome back to the show. My yesterday is me. I hit one point five million subscribers on youtube, and to celebrate, I asked for some questions from youtube community, twitter and instagram. So here is another minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. As always, there's some great questions in here about whether i'll bring doctor joe to spends on the show.

If you can grow a podcast without going on love island and how I deal with negativity online, expect to learn what my plans off the show in twenty twenty four, what i'll change for my next live shows, why we didn't do anything for one million subscribers, why we choose to title episode the way we do if success has changed myself image why I party vae, how many subscribers are because of my jw line and much more this episode is brought to you by all state. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking all date first, like, you know, to check the date of the big game first before you accidentally buy tickets, your twenty of the wedding anniversary and have to spend the next twenty years of your marriage making up for IT. Yeah, checking first is smart.

So check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with all state savings. Very terms apply.

This holiday season, you have your gift rap and work out out for you, but you can leave the big red bows to us, get offers on select vehicles at the lexus december to remember sales event now you're january second is amazing at your election dealer. But now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome me.

What's happening? People, welcome back to the show. IT is a one point five million subscriber Q N A episode. It's been a while since I did one of these.

It's been a busy few months, so I apologize for the absence, but we got thousands and thousands of questions. I tried to compile them. There were a lot that were kind of similar.

So i've tried to put a bunch together, and i'm going to get through as many as I can. So let's get into IT beyond the mike, how do you deal with negativity on the internet? I this has been the year that i've tried to rail against synthetic.

M. I just, I hate you, I hate IT. So reminds me of all of the sort of narrow minded, very defeated mentality that I I really didn't like.

It's all the worst parts of the U. K. And I don't like IT. I I deal with IT on the internet by following as few people as possible. So on twitter, I think I follow hundred people.

I don't spend that much time scrolling instagram and my youtube feed is relatively well created so I just try not to see IT that being said, when IT comes to comment sections and stuff, it's difficult like I rote this thing in the day which might be I guess interesting at least to listen to um fame doesn't change you. I just changes everyone around you is this quote from luis capo in the documentary. And I reflected on IT a lot this year.

Identity likes reality by one to two years. There's a lot of psychological fallout from a rapid changing status that's from mark manson. It's drawing when everyone else tells you how great are doing, because you don't feel any different.

But the world now sees you differently, like identity, this movie, and because you forget compliments, but remember insults. Any increase in exposure mostly just feels like an increasing criticism. At no point on the journey to becoming heavily scrutinized does anyone teach you how to deal with scrutiny.

There is no training cause for fame or criticism. You're just as vne able to IT as you were when you started. But people presume that you accepted the deal of criticism when you decided to build a platform.

You didn't. And that's kind of how I feel at the moment. Critics rough and negativity on the internet doesn't feel very good, especially not when it's directed like you.

So IT is a learning process, I suppose. And that's like perfectly true. What I just said that there's no training course.

There's no point between having hundred and fifty subscribers in one point five million where someone came along and like biscuit on me, the skills to be able to deal with the negative things you just like, I know, hope for the best along the way. But I appreciate all the people that are positive. You really do help.

Step dot V R D. Hello, Chris. Congratulations on the one point five million. How is your book coming along and when can we expect IT? So there are two books in the works at the moment.

One will be something similar to a more broadly versions of twelve rolls for life modern wisdom style almanac book. Still thinking about the value set for that, but i'm super excited like all of my news at this stuff just gets to me super excited about that. And then the mating crisis with David bus.

Between those two, you will have won within the next. It'll be completed within six months and they'll be published within twelve. So probably start of twenty five.

I'll be something out. S M L L N. smaller. Do you use any time blocking methods to manage your time? I know I should.

All the other delicates telling me that I should. And i'm about to switch my productivity system from only focus to take, take. You listen to the cinema, the Christmas episode I did with the boys in the living room. You will know i'll, by the way, for the people that don't recognize why I am like, what's this place? But I mean, this is my bedroom in newcastle, the house I still got in the northeast of england.

This is what I all sorted, literally SAT right here, a different mike, different camera, different desk, different everything like a terrible lighting, a candle stains on the ceiling, which duglas murray famously pointed out, and everyone thought was mold in the entire world, was criticising me about mold. But yeah, i'm back for Christmas. I'm back in the U.

K. I'm back in new castle. They feels very strange to be back here is is really funny for so much to have changed and for you to be in a place that so familiar and for you to feel quite different in some ways and also still be the same.

So yeah, it's a it's wild, but this is where we are. Look, we've even got the same. We got the same lighting.

You can can see that the vertical bookcase, we tried to replicate all of this when I went to awesome. So mates seem like aston, just something we did out of nowhere. Then the cinema pisos have tried to match this tie and copper color.

We do that on the big episodes. So I told them from this, this was the genesis right here. I hope you like IT time blocking methods.

You have gonna teach me how to. You use titus that should integrate IT. I know that I should time block more.

I use my calendar quite liberally 啊。 But I should time block stuff that doesn't appear on the calendar. Typically more like tasks.

The answers, no, but i'm guilty and I think that I should. Tom benza, what's the biggest change for your next live shows? Brackets thought they were great.

Thank you for coming. Tom, um big's change for the next live shows. I'd love to do some production. IT was as raw as IT gets its me in front of a screen that's got my name on IT talking for ninety minutes and then doing A Q N A so on stage on my own which if he told me I done that year ago would have terrified me and still kind of did.

But I would like find a little bit more production in uh, some AV stuff, you know montages, maybe even scenes from the stuff that i'm talking about. You know if I bring up a quote, I bring up an idea or bring up something, we could maybe illustrate that behind me or uh even like cut to the episode in the point in the epsom I learned about IT that could be kind of call love, to integrate some music and like touchy fei are sending me tiny things. But right now I just wanna like dyin.

My ability to fill comfortable on stage, especially to crack jokes and do bits and do comedy, is a whole other ball game but yeah, that's i'm just working on the craft for now, I think we can add fluff and do all the rest of IT when we try to do the the o two in london or something big. But for now, just dial in craft. See, saw, see, saw.

Why didn't you do anything for one million subscribers? Fair question there. Yeah, I kind of promise you guys a while ago that we would have this like eating nice montage put together that you do something special.

And being honest, the last five months, I can't remember when we hit one million subs maybe five months ago. The last five months have just been unrelenting internally. There's a lot of just not a problem, just like work that needs doing IT all really fun. And I love the guys that are working alongside me, but it's just so much like i've paid quite a high personal Price this year to get the show to where IT needs to be.

And that's largely been with very limited time off and a lot of travel and not much time to kind of chill and turn my executive function of um so largely just because I did enough time and that sounds like a bit a cop out, but we didn't. And given that we now closer way closer to two million than we are to one million, I will endeavor to do something actually special um for two million subs. I promise I will I will try my best.

A very of sixty five, eighty five. Do you think that you still have some of the party boy character in you? Yes, that degenerate lives sort of deep down and it's very rather he comes out I think he came up once last year, maybe once or twice last year, yeah twice, twice last year and no times I think this year.

But i've got stacks do battle party for americans coming up in a bea next year. I'll have another trip for Georgeous, thirty eighth in miami on new york. So a couple of times where he just, he stressed, sort of pigs his head over the surface and comes back down.

But that was a huge part of me. Man like that was, you know, for a decade in a half. Professional party boy is not just like a cool way that I put IT like I was a full on degenerate for a good chunk of my twenties and IT was very formative.

And I think so many guys are like, how many guys don't just send IT for a good chunk of time? And that was my career. My career was being a party boy.

I got literally iran, the event I was a guy in the front door with the massive afro that everybody knew. So yeah, he's he's still a part of me. He just is he's on extended hiatus at the moment, potentially full retirement user.

T, L four rosa five D O A L need to use the name of all. congratulations. Thank you massively for what you're doing.

Secondly, if you went back in time, let's say, late teens, twenties, would you be able to appreciate all the struggle and negatives you went through to reach the positives? Or do you believe IT is necessary to hate the negatives so they have a motive to turn IT into the positives? Not entirely sure what that means.

Say, would you be able to appreciate all the struggle negative and through to reach the positives if you went back and I don't understand why I need to go back in time, i'll answer IT as if I am now. Um I think that having a chip on your shoulder and trying to prove something to people that doubt to you or you don't like or you feel like didn't like you are shown you or unrequired carve love, whatever is. I think that is important that IT is again, he needs to drink.

Those of us that see the solar episodes know that I need to drink. I think that the action threshold that you are required to do, do you need to reach in order to do great things, in order to really do anything that kind of difficult, you can have the pleasure and the positive drive to go forward, and you can have sort of this taste and chips on your shoulder and hatred, desire to push you from behind. And a blend of the two seems to be best.

It's not a fuel that you want to use for too long, but it's very, very effective at getting off the line. And that's something that i've managed to do, and i'm now working on casting off the negatives and kind of that required to prove myself did triple zero, double seven. Are you planning on having legs on your pod also by any chance? Since you've had a few comedians, will you have nick melin or adam freeman on? Nick mullen? I messaged two days ago we were deming back and forth.

I think someone on his team was dimming me done know what that is neck um so yeah i'd love to get nick on I think next fantastic at lex we've been talking back and forth a message dim and congratulate him on the basis episode I thought that was really good. If you haven't listen to that, go check out jeff bays on the and yeah I mean, like he's a busy guy and like gets he's got other things on his mind like for eighteen months he was like really personally impacted by ukraine and that's a bigger priority than me. Bring them on.

We'll get him. T M, C, candles seven. Chris, firstly, I greatly appreciate your work and the continual improvement in the guests and interviews. Thank you.

Can I make a suggestion the titles of your podcasts really failed to capture the essence of the interviews, and I have missed many a great discussion. For instance, your Patrick but David interview titled why does no one trust the media anymore did not remotely capture fantastic discussion. My best, tim, tim, that are fucking awesome.

Way to deliver a criticism uh, very well baLance and I appreciate you for doing IT. Yeah so look and tightly in the nAiling on youtube. I touch I might be setting myself for a problem in future.

Here I touch every single title for nail that goes out. Every single one of them. I think we have two thousand videos to a bit, thousand videos on the on the channel, all of them i've touched.

The reason for that is that I think it's very important to frame the episodes and the channel is an in an important way. Let me give you an example. Rosell brand, Russell brands team knows how olympics, hi jack, whatever going on.

But every single one of those titles make me cringe inside the the, it's horrible. It's horrible like they are coming for your kids. What you don't know what they did is, my god guys come on like it's it's the most antagonistic bal.

It's it's not good. I don't want to play that game. There's also different ways that you can do uh titling, whereby you put he kind of keyword plug different things like kind of those it's almost like a list.

It's alysa al, and we tried all of the different ones. Ultimately, if you're not happy with the titles that we're giving, stop clicking on them. Because we split test things on the back heard.

We split test tons and tons and tons of titles, and we know which ones people click on. Now obviously, there is a way that all of this could just end up toward, like the Russell brand olympic hy jack thing, which we don't want to do. So we have IT within confines.

We have parameters of what we going to allow the titles and time else to go to. And beyond that, we don't take IT there. But ultimately, the titles are the the titles and the melts are the things that people click on because we need to play with in the game with the algorithm.

You're right, maybe, uh, why does no one trust the major more doesn't capture a fantastic c discussion but like what does that gets people to click? Very difficult like we tried. It's like, you know Patrick bet David a conversation on the chAllenges of modern like modern culture and media and whether or not he should run for president.

It's like no one clicks on that. We tried. So I would be interested in a solution that helps us to hold on to ctr, whilst also sounding good.

But for a very long time I fought with titles, thugs and improving them. Made a massive change to the growth of the channel. I don't think that we played the olympic hy jack game that much.

We very regularly the boys, the copywriters that worked for me, jody and chase, will come to me with something and I will say, no, i'm not prepared to the cross that particular line, which is totally arbitrary, probably would get a more place, in fact, would almost certainly get a small place. And I come in with my big like hammer and wake him down and say, no, sorry, too much. Can't have that too antagonistic to tribal to whatever, to accuse a tree like we do too many tables that like that even if they work.

So we work really hard to remain like, as I would say, like ethical algo hacking um but yeah but working hard, I promise I promise you trust me, we are working very hard to try and find that baLance um and yeah I guess just click on everything, actually that's a solution. Just click on everything. If click on everything and IT doesn't matter what the title is a you don't need to miss any of them.

Click on IMAX fitness what does a full day in the life of what what look like a full day in the life of crew of a Chris detail? From the time you wake up until time you go to bed, you exercise in the morning, do you practice fasting before during a podcast, you split your work up into blocks couple of times. But do you work during weekends? right? Try and last through this quickly.

Wake up seven eight in the gym by seven forty. Allah ad element and some probiotics stuff. First thing before I leave train, get back some sort of protein shake of some eggs, then sit down on my death by nine will tend to catch up because the first video will go live at ten, so will check in on that, make sure that everything in terms of copy in the site channels are all ready for that episode will go out.

I'll be working through admin, having conversations, maybe some calls at twelve midday. I'll stop and then begin like complete redoing prep for the guest. Then other code about four P M, that'll go until about six P M, finish up. During that time, i'll have gone for walks, take him more calls, the more bits and pieces of reading all the rest of IT and then usually six thirty go for dinner with friends and then get back and bed by ten thirty that most days. And then on the weekend, ah I never recorded on weekends we I trade more on the morning.

I'll tend to go out do comedy live shows, all that sort of stuff uh, and that's kind of IT so it's kind of heavily routine ized one of my home, but way less routine ized than IT was when I used to live here, which again is crazy, that couch, but i'm pointing out, which you totally can't see and you may never see, probably thousands of hours I spent on that couch journal, meditating, doing breath work, like writing, reading, just thinking about stuff so long. So if that sounds a like robotic, whatever i'm doing an awesome given that that's pretty much every single day that version of me from a little while ago was way was Mercedes over as eight, three, seven, nine. I'm nAiling IT with the names today, by the way, when you're going to a have B N T H on the pods, all right, bringing the horizon.

Just today, Jordan fish announced that he's leaving. Jordan is a good friend, and I hope that the departure was amicable. I don't know, think about IT um but i'm a massive fan of the boys and I would love to bring any of them on.

Ali, i've told a number of times that he needs to come on, which just have been in the same place, so I will get eventually. Logan mac, regarding your policy of deleting, of stopping people's comments from being seen, you reckon this in part stamps from being an only child by way of not having to kill the constant annoyances of others. Reasons previously given a very valid, just a thought.

All right. So to recap a season, one of why people get banned from the channel. This is my house. Take your fucking shoes off. Like behaving in appropriate way. This doesn't mean that I expect, want to be a sick fan or even agree with me, but that means that I expect people to, like, behave in a civil manner.

And if I bring some guest on the show and the comments are just filled with unthoughtful stupid like name calling that hasn't got anything to do with the episode. How many times do we go on and look at the two and a half hour, three hour long episode? And based on the title and funnel, someone has already spilled some half baked opinion using an ad harmony, or like calling names or bring up something which is unrelated.

And just being a dick, it's like, hey, guess what? This isn't a nice environment for anybody to be in, and that's not the way that I want you to be. Go someone else channel like I I don't mind if you you only want to contribute to channels where you can bring thought out whatever you want uninterrupted at all times.

That's not here. So that's what happened before. Do I think that this is my way of not having to deal the constant annoyance of others? That's so interesting, and i've never thought of that before.

And you actually might be right. I don't deal with frustrations very well. And when I want something to happen, if it's dependent on other people, I do find myself getting quite agitated prety quickly.

So yeah actually I think that that might contribute to IT a little bit um but most other than that, I just want a really positive environ. What was the first question about negativity on the internet? Like I don't want a cynical audience and there's a button on the back end of youtube that called high user from channel.

I think it's called and IT means that that person can still watch, they can still comment, they can still like, but only they can see that comment and no one else can and they are just showing stuff into the either. And it's one striking you're done like that's to being the policy for over year now. And if you go on and look episode, there is still turns and turns of criticism.

So it's not like we're getting rid of criticism. We're just getting rid of the people that was spoiled party for everybody. And like, you know what it's like, you go on to a channel and you look at the top few comments.

And if the top few comments are stupid, you like, oh, this is like a really idiotic audience. I don't want that such tsi one one one we need a video on your monkey mode was just talking about that how timely. Um so.

I got to to stick actually like three or four months ago, or maybe even IT was at the start of the and then I got back back up again by podcast courage couple a months ago or a couple of weeks ago. I talked about an old morning routine that I used to do, which was pretty extensive. IT was, wake up, go for a walk, a element in water combat, sit down, journal breath, work into meditation, into reading, into food prep.

And IT would take during coffee. I like span, IT up to like night oh, and mobility work as well. So steamy girls, big three for my lower back drink over IT. I'd got that to twenty minutes, maybe more. They'd probably nineteen minutes or so to get that done.

And I don't disagree all of the people that were saying in the comments when I first came out and then when IT pop back up again, uh, like this is ridiculous. How like. Out of touch like telling that you don't have a job was telling me that you don't have a job.

I don't disagree with all of those things. I wasn't suggesting that other people do IT or that IT was even necessarily optimal. There are probably ways that you can enjoy more of your life and not take up the first two hours of your day doing like mad bro self development stuff.

However, I found unbelievable success. We're doing that. And I think that was maybe a counter to a party boy. Chris had his head of his was so long that he needed this like very intense pharmaceutical grade dose of introspection and isolation and introversion and all of that stuff to drive at home. So for me, considerate a compensatory mechanism.

But for you know, for a long time, you i'm looking down there and I can see the stack of journals that I completed, like eleven, six months journals in a row that I completed daily morning and evening. And these were big. They were formative parts of of me.

And I was it's i'm not going to lie about like what I did. What I did during that period was a lot of time on my own, a lot of time without alcohol, a lot of time without parking, five hundred days without caffeine, all that stuff. And IT worked.

And you know, I I don't disagree like a ridiculous it's fighting is absolutely insane and almost no one can do IT and and many people might see IT as hell. But IT was really good for me, and I ended up making me into a Better person, I think fucking her ray for that version of criss joe got ney. Modern wisdom primarily focuses on intellectual s's. guests.

Would you be open to start having people from other fields on, like fred? Again, the von are going to leave that to the kind of D A D O A C. And stick the intellectual framework.

So I mean, mark Normand and witness comings are probably going to be very flatted by you are calling them intellectuals. But yes, I I I love speaking to people from all different strokes. And I don't know for next year i'm thinking about a little bit more from the comedy side.

I was blown away by witness comings. Like, look at the comments on that episode at just outstanding, like people going. I can't like, who is this person? I was so impressed by her.

Like, she's great. I really, really impressed. Like, enjoyed that conversation.

Yeah, the extra friday again would be great. But absolutely, a daughter speak to him. A theodora is on my hit list. And yeah, I think broadening out the the fields a little bit more.

That being said, obviously, as you go up and up and up through those ashes, even for some mom with the one and a half million youtube channel, it's still tough like it's still this big like networking game, and the timing has to be right on the rest of IT. So no, yeah, I will be broadly out as we have. I think we continue to broaden out quite nicely over the last six years, but I won't stop mangalore.

How does your online success affect yourself image in real life? How do you view yourself today versus Chris from five years ago to these questions are so good like the insight that you guys have from watching the show and then being able to work out some whole that's gonna interesting. Uh, you should be very everybody that submitted a question should be very flatted because you come up with good questions.

How does online success affect yourself image in real life? How do you view yourself today? Verse is Christmas five years ago, to be honest. Man, it's it's like kindly, daring. It's that little sentence that I said at the top identity like reality by one to two years.

So i'm still just catching up to me, moving out to texas and feeling all like i'm a person who deserves to have one VISA in live in amErica or whatever. Um i'm less wacked itself out and uncertainty than I was before. I view I view myself is kind of worthy of my successes, which I don't think I could have said, uh, probably even a year ago.

So that makes me feel good. I like the fact that I am not just riddled with impositive syndrome and and and self doubt that a big difference, a huge difference actually. But online success is like its niche fame, like at the the very, very best i've got, like micro niche me.

And if you put me in the right boy, sort of jim, like five guys will come up to me on a busy saturday and say, human, like, love the show that's great. Like that's a perfect after more mount of fame. The difference from Chris five years ago was.

So much, I mean confidence, self belief, the feeling that I deserved success. I an endless littery of things. It'll interesting to see where amount in a year's time because IT feels like this been quite a big change internally over the last two, eight months.

Samuel chin to three to one. Would you ever consider being more disagreeable with your guests? Sah question. Um I find IT tough to really lean in to the disagree ability thing you know like the destiny Douglas murray style, like Michael mAlice, like real finger pushing stuff that's not my nature um and kind of in the same way as if you saw some guy that used the way, you know fifty five key lows and now is dead lifting like one hundred and fifty pounds and you be like one hundred and fifty pounds in that much like you have a look started.

The time the time that I manage to really push the guests on something with a disagreeable tone takes an awful lot for me to get over. And that's part of my nature and it's something that i'm aware of and it's something that i'm working on as well to stopping such a people, please, even on the show. Um so yes, it's something i'm actively working on and for next year will be one of the key areas of retroactive.

I think I try and bring into the show mall in said in my experience, if you give people enough rope, they will end up hanging themselves in any case. And being just sitting back and giving people room to speak often allows them to like diddle their own philosophy more effectively than you would be able to. But I also don't agree.

I don't disagree. Sorry, I would say, yeah, that's something i'm working on choler. You appear to have drifted not be drifting toward the right politically with your choice of guests. Is this you are lining with your target audience in an attempt at bringing some sort of baLance or something else? I don't know.

I mean like Scott galloway, Helen Lewis, David packmen, destiny these people I wouldn't have said IT from the right um I would say that I am definitely more accepted by people who are like from the centre and to the right of centre um but I mean, i've asked i've been trying to reach out to a tone of people from the left, one of which I can say house on arby like I really want to bring on I D love to have a conversation with him. I can't get a response. He is a good story.

So we were about to work with a much company. We've never want to wisdom much. And I I god, six years, one point five million subs, pretty cool brand.

Think modern wisdom is pretty cool brand. Why did we make some much out of IT? So we found this company and everything was going to be great. And IT was a west coast merch company, but they distributed internationally, and they had a very female, very gensec, very left leaning design team.

They did a kickoff of call with them and said really great to say that we brought Chris wyn's board and we're going to be doing the merge from one and wisdom and was a mutiny. And they literally said, if you make us do this, we're leaving. So the sensitivity around whatever positioning i'm supposed to have, I mean, like if you think that i'm unspeakable and beyond the pale, you fucked if you go on the internet um but yeah that it's tough for me to get those people on.

That being said, scot galloway, one of my favorite people, definitely is like fucking very, very lefty left destiny the same Helen Lewis was great. He was that Helen lois is literally the lady from gq that, like, held Jordan Peterson feet to the fire for two and a half hours. So I try and find baLance as best I can.

Robert walton, two, three, nine, four. I asked this with no hate to vibe, but why why did you choose to make an unhealthy energy drink, your business venture? But be interested to know what you mean by unhealthy because it's got zero sugar.

It's got natural coLorings. It's got natural caffeine. It's got the meth latest version of carbon in which is one of the b vitals, which is more easily absorb by our body. IT is completely evidence bact, and I will go toe to do with anyone in the evidence based community on the formulation of IT. What I presume that you're talking about is the fact that we used A K as the sweet now.

Now if you look at any, any shelf of drinks, you will see A K and asp in being used very liberally, including in prime, including in tons and tons of drinks that are much more famous than us. I don't think that it's unhealthy by virtue of the fact that I literally designed IT this way. Could we, for a lot of people said, why can eat stevia if you ever tried to use stevia with a evidence based formulation like us? Because each one of the different compounds that we put in has a different bit ness profile.

So you've got cognizing pretty bit radio and panics gingen taste fucking awful on their own althias. I can be kind of gritty. Then you've got the b vitamins that you need to load on top, plus the caffeine that needs to go in trying to get that to taste nice.

We tried everything I really want to try, make IT work with, uh, natural swimmers and I didn't. So it's, I mean, been having IT just for I started it's money. This is fucked in dynamic.

I'm so proud of IT. I love the branding. I love the weight looks. I love what IT does. Everyone that takes IT is super, super impressed.

So if it's not for you, if you are so dialed on your health and fitness regime that the type of sweet did you have in your productivity drink is something that you have narrowed your health and fitness goals down to more power to you. But it's not for me, matt. Us, why do you party?

Vae, I feel like you've seen me somewhere. Uh so yeah when I look we toronto and I was in, uh, toronto of vancouver, vancouver, I think and when I drink and started raping A, I do IT comedy shows and I do IT at when I one nights out. But thankful ly, I don't go out that much, which things I tape that much, I don't know.

I'm going to blame on zac zap and when he's got one around I always grab IT off him. That being said, i'm thinking about doing uh separately for all of twenty twenty four, which will also fix the viking problem but I don't know largely x it's fun and because whoever IT was degenerate Chris party party boy Chris is still in there somewhere and i've got to get my fix know for stop doing fat lines and hard drugs. Party vapor is like the pg equivalent isac major's.

When is tim Dylan getting on the show? Dude, i'd love to bring I love that guy is in an out of all, that guy is being an awesome. When i've not been there for the last three times IT almost as if someone knows someone in tim dulin team knows when i'm leaving and then purposefully placed him in the city at that time.

But yeah, I am a huge fan of his podcast and I would love to bring him on. And hopefully we can make that happen next year. Ali, is there any amount of money which will make you consider making an only fans account? Everyone got a Price.

Oh, ambitious one. Do you still get depressed? At an interesting question I did for a lot of my twin.

I can't read the last time that I was this little waves of that. Those thought patterns do sometimes burst out ve the surface a little bit, but it's been a long time. Like proper, proper depression for me is lain bed, can't leave, make excuses.

Stop doing things. Order to ship food. Don't open the curtains.

Stay on phone all day or watch screens. Nap at least twice, three times. Don't leave. Go to bed that night. Run IT back the next day.

I actually think in, in retrospect, that IT was like a cute burn out rather than depression was what was happened to me but largely no and I think that good health and fitness regime, Better climate, more friends and a Better sleeping wake pattern um has made probably seventy percent to ninety percent of the difference d one and only what next. I'm good question. I guess going in a twenty twenty four so book is gonna priority for the first six months of next year.

Um I really need to just get my head down and get that written because once it's done then I can you get back into other things, don't let the show drop, don't take my air of the ball. There's so many different things that you opportunities. And why did you do this? And we could get using adviser and he is an investment and he is a company that we could start.

And what did you do a course on? none. We could do this thing with some partnership at this company. All of those things are exciting, but they're not the main thing.

And you know, if you've downloaded in my reading list, you'll see that one of the top five boxes essentialism by greg makin and being an essentialists, I E focusing on the vital few, not the trivial. Many doing less but Better is easy. When you have few things available for you to do, then time to do them in, because you can say yes to everything and still feel like you've got spare time.

Now the boston has been flipped upside down, and there are more things that I could do with my time than time that I have to do them in. And each potential thing for me to do is like the best thing that i've been offered ever over and over and over again. So it's hard and A A skill set that saying no to things is a skill set that that I still having to develop.

So what next is book for the first half of next show, keeping the show continue to bring an interesting guests, continue to shoot in a beautiful manner. Uh, the cinema stuff I adore, I think we've a really captured uh, a part of the market and and like a part of the internet from that kind of didn't exist, like Normal shooting things in super high quality like us. So i'm going to continue to spend that up.

That's kind of IT. Like if I get to the end of next year having written a book and just not stopped my calibre for the show, that would be great. From the outside, that doesn't look like much, but from the inside, that still an absolute shit in a walk.

And then actually, I would like to do to start releasing a bunch like a sweet of different courses. So we've been talking about monk mode. And like me, sitting on this couch and stuff, there was a very particular sequence of things that I went through in a very particular way that I did IT.

I searched for a long time to find the best in the world for breath work, the best in the world for meditation, the best in the world for journal, the best in the world for reading practices and mobility practices and spinal rehab and training and all that stuff. And if they've been one stop shop for me to find that in IT would have made my life a lot easier. And they say that you should make products for the person that you were a few years ago, and that would have been great for me.

So maybe i'll start to do something, but I don't know. Like even the like, the idea of doing courses and things kind of gives me a bit of a an ec. But then I also think that just because of the way the other people talk about IT online rather than the actual value are offering that IT brings.

So i'll get over that maybe that um interesting things you should know about. What are your new year's resolutions I ve done to me yet? This is december twenty second, and I haven't done them. So I will sit down next week and do my annual review, which you can get that.

Chris, will x stop come such a review for free? Peter, well, how long you have been C, I, A planned? I think i've upgraded C, I, A plant is like way, hi, i'm i'm probably controlled opposition.

Michael mAlice has this high rocky of the different ways that are the different ways that glowing experts are send or something. And it's like, I am pretty sure i'm controlled opposition or maybe i'm not i'm probably not interesting enough or important enough to be controlled opposition yet. Art, go ski.

You always talk about your single child past social anxiety, being bullied. How have you transition oned from that to running nightclubs? That always bug me as weirdly unlikely. First of always talk about that. Interestingly, I didn't talk about that before David goggins episode. That was the first time that I really opened up about being bullied and I think, and that kind of real social anxiety stuff that I had in the past.

So it's interesting that that seems at least you like it's been a it's like a mainstay of who I am because to me, IT still feels like a very recent revelation that i've decided to kind of open up about myself a transitioning from that running nightly bs. Yeah, there's a few people that have like this guy was obviously popular in school because of either the way he that he looks or the job that he is like pivoted into, I don't know, like scepticism around my origin story. Maybe I should take that as a compliment that um I seem so well baLanced now that there's no way that I could have been like a total like neuro divergent to generate artist in in school but I promise you and if you ask any of the people that I went to school with, they would they would back me up um how do I transition from that intervening nike clubs?

I guess I saw the opportunity to be someone that people needed. And if people need you, it's kind of the same as them wanting you. And even if people didn't want me, but needed me to get A V I P band, that manifested as me being accepted by the world and being.

Being given validation and being given a like A A place of. Belonging in some way. Uh, so that power. And also don't forget almost all of my childhood OS, I was on the outside of social networks looking in. So I was observing and working out how different things moved and why people did things the way they did, how they moved between different that's what a club promoter does. Club promoter looks at social networks and works out how to manipulate them so that you can get people to go to a different event.

Who's the key taste make within that the only difference between being popular and unpopular with that is can you get in can you like play the social game, the social dynamics game of actually being able to communicate as soon you ve got that down, you've got this massively increased level of attention and precision ah and focus that you have on why people are the way they are which I think is still largely why my obsession with human nature on the podcast evolutionary psychology, all of that stuff is still here. Corner, how many of your submission es are because of your jaw line? Yeah, this has become a bit of a meme online.

Someone a bunch of people have had pops at me on twitter about this. It's very interesting. It's a very interesting criticism given that the show is bigger than spotify than IT is on youtube and you can see me on there.

Um I mean, look, i've chosen to do a thing which is the least flash, least showy like i'm doing IT with the top on i'm cropping this above the arms like when people meet me in your life, like, well, do like you like less of a skinny bitch than I thought like you a bit more jack than I thought you. I think IT is cope to say that the reason that this podcast is successful is because of major line, the same way as it's cope to say that it's successful because of love island. I came off love island with an additional three thousand followers in two thousand and fifteen sixteen.

Whatever I did IT IT was tiny, and I did nothing and actually put me back. We've lost contracts with partners and airlines because the person that was the key toys maker found out that I was on love island. So if you think that going on love, violence helps.

And then the joline thing, I don't know if you think that Jordan Peterson gets seduced by me doing a leg model face at him, you might be unfortunately surprised. John luke bgd is IT. O, K.

To put nike in the washing machine. thanks. sure. Let's say yes.

I've managed to thread the needle of never doing my own washing. Pretty much I can do IT, but I choose not to. And thirty five.

So my advice is work out the way, way you don't need to do your motion. Jason stone, didn't you only have one million about three weeks ago? Think is about four months ago.

But yeah, it's been the last three months of just been crazy. Which is also beautiful, but disquieting. I'm holding on for dear life. A L. The dating advice for grows online seems to boil down to just be successful, bro.

Given that women rate eighty percent of men is physically unattractive and fifty cent of men below average intelligence, what's the advice for those forty percent of men? That's interesting. The bar is set at unbelievably low, like the average american man is obese, divorce and we're less the one can in the bank.

That is a very, very low bar. I think that the internet over indexes on objective metrics s of success and doesn't account for what happens in person. You will see regularly people and guys that are charismatic, funny, sexy in person batting way outside of the league.

If you were to just look at them from an online perspective, basically, I would say don't overthink what the internet says because the reality of dating for almost everybody, if you talk to people that aren't terminally online and asked them about their dating experiences and then talk to people who are terminally online, these two don't spend all that much time getting close, dubin said. IT is there are some genetic um like truths that are rough to get around. But again, due if you go to the gym three times a week for a year, you're probably in the top percent tile of all fitness people on the planet.

If you spend three hundred books on a relatively OK wardrobe with some black, some White, some navy and some grades, you're probably Better dressed than most of the guys that you're going to walk us like. The bar is so fucking low. So the digg advice from goes online boils down to just be successful though it's I just try a bit and you will already be probably a six or seven out of ten sinda who is the and with the most the same work? I think that you have known homos obvious answer, but that guy's ability to go and go and go and not stop is fucking ungodly.

And it's it's impressive. It's very. It's admirable to see and also largely unrealistic for most people to achieve. Uh, ham cheese.

Let us make a sandwich question, why the f tid starts selling a snake oil tonic drink? It's not a tonic. It's called new tonic. I would be interested to know what the snake oil thing part of that is, given that IT is completely evidence based on the main movies from a new tropics perspective, are probably the most researched and well backed that there are a but the reason I started selling IT is because I wanted IT and I didn't exist. So I and I figured, if I made for myself, I will give you to other people to from Opera one six seven.

Why haven't you brought in an expert in meta physics of spirituality like joe do to spare? Or someone like that just don't believe in these things. Please eat an honest question.

Greetings from venezuela. Greetings to see you too franco paras. I love how I don't know whether it's google translate or just kind of a an unnecessarily formal way um of of putting stuff across.

But I love how like please, it's an honest question. It's like so like unnecessarily a nice in the way that it's done just in cases like offended me. And meanwhile there's like armies and armies of people on a high user from channel, just like building bullshit.

Um I am a massive fan of dr. Doctor joe to spend and I am trying quite hard to bring on the show. So if your metaphysics and spirituality is a line appropriately, if our astro rounds have worked in sink with the retrograde de of Venus, you may get him sooner than. You think jo dog, one more african americans on the show, please show, suggest them. I would love to bring some african an on.

Speaking of that, not sure if you saw um people kicked off about spotify, a top ten shows not being sufficiently ethnically diverse and there was a bunch of people putting ninja eo gies ninja, I think, is referring to how many african americans that were all people of african descent we can put in a politically correct way where all of my dangers, that was a question was asked, super top coming, loads and loads and loads of people. And if you actually look at IT, Stephen is like, I think ga name mother or something like that. J chetty isn't White.

Uh, the check that does the ted thing is and precious asian. So all of the people that like this isn't sufficiently representative, like it's full of White people. Like, I wonder how Stephen and j and the ted lady feel about being like White people.

funny. para. Sima, if you are the son, what would you name him? I like red rising and the lead protagonist that is called darrow. I think darrow is a fucking in dope name for a kid.

You're not having a loser if you your son is called dark like it's impossible to grow up and be called darrow and not be an absolute stood. So dara r pit t Bella, no question. Just suggestion, make a different channel for clips.

IT gets messy. I've seen many creators making different clips, channels and chips channels getting more views in the main one, quit channels getting more views in the main one. And you have, but that is survival bias. And if you look at all of the other clip channels that are part of other like moderately successful podcast, you'll see that they get dog shit plays.

My philosophy from the very beginning was when people bifocal that channels off and have one main podcast feed and one clips feed, you get a underperforming main podcast channel and a total dog shit performing chips clips channel. As you know, i'm fucking in doing that now chips channel, um you do that and that wasn't something that I thought structurally made that much sense. If you're A A flagship podcast, I would advise not doing that.

I would put everything that you have into one channel. IT makes IT way easier to do scheduling. IT makes IT way easier for accounting. IT makes IT way easier Operationally. And IT worked for us.

Maybe I could have had a one point one million submarine channel in a five hundred key clip channel, but like what the fucking I doing with the clips channel? I'm just all over one. Nate, six, seven, nine, five.

Are you the unit guy? I swear I recognize you from an ad from them with rogan. That's all right.

markets. that's. Someone, does he look like me? I don't think he does.

And we both live in Austin. We both got short hair. Sometimes he's covered in taboos.

He's three inches taller than me 啊。 Anyway, maybe i'm wrong. I don't love you a podcast. I would love to see more content creators like extremist gamers also. Comedians are always great to watch.

Bilbo would love get bill, bill, bill bar on trying to get house and a beyond um I don't know who else from streams is like charlie e would be great load. We would be great something I watch many of the streamers and then all of the chick streamers are getting themselves in bother at the moment. So stick ly.

George mac, what have you changed your mind about most in the last twelve, twenty four months? Um home on both control was a huge one last year that was a really big one. And I you know coming from A A nightlife background, you just presume that like A A lot of people have casual sacks.

Probably pretty good to ensure that we don't have accidental pregnancies. And then I just learned about the impact that this stuff has on women's mental health, on their bodies. They can lock in a type of protein folding, uh, during former, to be as the brain development in the brain, because is women to be more prety disposed to anxiety and also to stop.

So skepticism around home, one or both control was a big one last year a this year has probably been epi genetics um just I thought that epi genetics was like the quantum healing of the of the genetic behavioral genetics world or just the state of genetics world. Um I thought he was bullshit and I was wrong. So epigenetic a and home and above control last year.

Sim Evans, could you have achieved the success without leaving the U. K, no, no. I I have often thought this. Did I need to make the move too awesome in order to able to do the things? Could I ve been purposed, IT, whatever, whatever.

But it's like a million tiny changes in exposure and who you hanging around with and the conversation you have in the people that you run into. And then the change in my work rate and inspiration and enthusiasm, because i'm around a different type of culture, and then the changing weather, the change, all of that stuff. So largely, no, the crypto journal, how would you recommend a podcast of content created, builds that audience without going on violent or a similar godforsaken reality T.

V. show? Again, I would go as far as to say that love island was a net negative for my podcasting journey.

IT gave me nothing. I started this podcast with nothing. There were days in march or April after we launched, and we were one episode per week deep.

There were days where we did zero total plays across audio and youtube. Zero, none, no place, right? So IT wasn't like we had some huge launch, and that gave us a catapult.

So I would recommend that you do IT the same way that I did. I think the way that I did IT is the most reliable way to do IT, which is don't stop. If you don't stop, you will eventually get good.

Presuming that you have the raw materials to be good at IT, a building audience is tough, but consistency is the rios thing in all of content creation because everybody wants an audience now and it's hard to get the audience now, but it's actually pretty easy to get the audience in six years time. Charles, do you have a book or books you've read more than three times more, read more three or more times in the past decade? If, yes, this is the fucking thing.

If if someone puts a typo in that question, IT makes me sound like an idiot. When I try like to use this cracking that can't read the questions, I know know that how the question threaten, do you have a book or books you've read more three or more times in the past decade now that if he has, uh, what keeps you bring? What keeps bringing you back to that book?

If no, is there one you think fits the criteria for you? I'm also, i'm also jet lagged. Okay, i'm jet lagged. I didn't sleep on the plane over.

So forgive me if the precision is a little bit off essentialism by greg mckeon, I must have at least twice or three times. The element act of all ravani must have read at least two or three times. Red rising, my favorite fiction book, I must read at least three times.

That's probably then, uh, if you ask what keeps me bringing me back to that book? A, there are lessons in essentialism and the revoted that I haven't yet learned or implemented. So I need to be reminded of IT and raising just fucking in.

awesome. Then which episode did you feel the most uncomfortable about releasing to the world? Like a good question as the first time i've ever been another question episode.

It's hard. It's real hard when people ask about you know which episode across the entire libris seven hundred and looks at seven, twenty or something. Now like such a huge number and I can like a lot of them are forgotten.

But recently, I can give you one recently the Patrick by David episode. I actually I really wasn't happy with my performance on IT. Um I wasn't happy with the way that flowed.

I didn't think like I I didn't feel like I performed particularly well. I was improved SE with my speech. I hadn't posher him where i'd wanted to. I hadn't opened up the way that i'd wanted to. It's just messy to some days like you just some days you just don't hit IT, right?

Um when you go out under the field of play and you know everything just feels a little bit off, it's not getting the gift, I suppose, a sportsman and I just didn't feel good. And I remember we finished the episode and we done this like crazy period of we were over in L A. We do all of the episodes in L.

A. And then we flew over to to, uh, florida and then we recorded with Patrick me at all of this travel and we'd nailed IT. Everything is gone great. And I was, I was like, in a bit of a slump, I was driving home. I was in the uber on the way to the airport, not just feeling a bit discounted with myself.

And I had to take myself to one side and have a little word, and I texted, deem told him, and I did like, I don't know what's up, don't know what you mean, like everything seem to go great as far as I could see. As I said, I know, but it's not my best. I could have been Better the so not for any particular reason other than I wasn't happy with my performance on the episode that PVD one um still you know i'm sure IT listened great but if you go back and listen to IT see if you can pick up on me shooting a bed at ton of times.

Cognitively the end master my feeling of pure passion and my feeling of pure emotional pain seem to be in distinguish. This started after I really levelled up in my efforts. I can't tell if I should lean into IT or be cautious with IT.

Do you know what? This is my feeling of pure passion and my feeling of pure emotional pains to be in distinguishable. Wow, that's very interesting.

I am hesitant about giving this sounds like you could be the beginning of schizophrenia by political something something like a hesitant about giving, bestowing any bro science to someone that might need a more educated eye. My sense is always to try and investigate without leaning into IT a little bit more before you lean into IT too much. If you lean into IT too much, there is no undoing that.

So maybe do I would some journal, and I would ask yourself questions about, like, what is IT that's causing the emotional pain? What is IT causing the passion? Where does the passion come from? How can I defecate these two out and just ask yourself some questions, sit with a bit of silence and see what comes up.

And hopefully what you should be able to do is use that passion to if if pain, passion, feel the same way, you basically don't have pain anymore. If you can just alchemise any time that the pain arises, that just passion. It's like the twenty incoming things.

He says, no, sorry, parking. Got down. Who does dumps to fire? Who just simplify the podcast fucking.

IT is IT. Fuck, this is the sea. This is jet like.

This is jet like for you. Anyway, i'm not nervous. I'm excited. Is the tagline the ah that name she's not going to come to me. I'm going to buy that. I'm not never so excited as the same as i'm not in pain.

This is just passions and you should be able to purpose IT see that's that's another one 就是 none of sleep shit about Steve cut us can do。 So what are some montreal you regularly return to? Um this is what hard feels like from alex is fucking brilliant.

Like did you expect that the thing that are trying to do this great achievement that you wanted to do, that you were going to be proud of, did you expect you to not be hard? No, all right. This is what hard feels like.

And IT just refurbish anytime you encounter to chAllenge your difficile from this is a bug to this is a feature. It's the entry Price I decided to pay when I wanted to go to this thing. So that's probably been one of my most common this year.

Simon, do th weight what gets you to three million? Honestly, bro, like if I I don't put my foot in my mouth, which again, like I did this last year, I said maybe the exact same episode or something similar a question about like what's your plan for twenty three and I said I want to fist fucker internet. I wouldn't t against me really.

It's all mind to lose at the moment. I think like everything that we touch seems to go relatively well. And I can I have the team.

We need to develop a team a little bit more. I need to chief of staff and like some other things so that I don't need to be involved today, today quite so much. But we have the team in terms of raw materials. We have the platform. We have the brand equity.

I have the skills set to just grow this thing essentially infinitely, I think ah and the only thing really that can take you down is me so if i'm looking back on this in a couple of yours time in thinking, you idiot, why did you do xy oed that caused you to be totally cancelled and stop then? 所以, but at what gets me to three millions is just me continuing to do the thing that i've always done. And that's what I intend to do.

Marcus phillipson, will neutronic ever be available in sweden? Dude, we are trying to roll this thing out globally as much as we can work out and stock again like this. I had to get this a good story.

I had to get George to bring this puppy. He bought ten, ten cases that a good friend by ten cases of your body's new drink. He brought two up yesterday, so I got my friend to buy my product of his own back separately, then bring IT to me, then leave IT in my house so I could drink IT.

That's like the best like a arbitrage opportunity ever. But yeah, we're onna try to get everywhere. Being able to create sufficient product is proving really hard because the demand is super high, but it'll be that soon.

Light blue truck, light, light blue truck. Do the english accent when alone? Or is IT just a bit?

Could you imagine if I got off this and just cracked out like some deep south accent? No, unfortunately or fortunately, i'm cursed with this all the time. Gora, what is IT all for? That's open to interpretation from a question perspective and very existential.

but. Increasingly, I think that this is all for fun. Like if you're not having fun doing the things they are doing, like what what's the fucking point honestly, like especially you know i'm speaking with someone who's managed to achieve way more success than he never thought he was going to. And it's like still going i'm still in the throes of IT, right? I don't know where it's going to come into land, if at all, of crash land perhaps as well.

But you can you can sacrifice so much on route to achieving anything that you want to that you look back and you go, what was the what was the fucking point? Like there's honestly so much science, science in the fun of getting to wherever IT is, and almost none of IT in the achievement of whatever is. So right now, what is IT all for is for at the moment, for me, setting up a life in which I can have more fun.

That is one of my mantras for twenty twenty four gym night, how much helped cinema pisos to play a part in securing the high profile guest you've had in the past few months. I know several probably came through the gym shock connection, but did the appeal of a ridiculously beautiful recording help with get joko and goggins at saturn? So with organs, I know that IT definitely did.

Um joko, I don't think so. I think the channel is kind of able to run under its momentum. Now a jacka was, wow, would have been four hundred k something like that, a significantly smaller and much less impressive of arosa. So yeah, maybe maybe he has contributed a good bit.

Um I think it's cool like if if I go to someone you know that's a highly sought after gas like doctor joe spender or kill from the help boys or someone and I say, hey, I want to do something with you that you typically wouldn't do I need four hours of your time but i'm going to drop thirty grand and making the most beautiful podcast that you've ever been a part of like Better than you can make yourself because I have the team and we have the skill set to be able to bring this together and you don't even need to leave your city is hard to say no to. And um now that that strategy makes me feel satisfied, I think they guest genuinely love IT. I think they feel proud of what they're a part of and it's good and it's genuinely novel like I don't I don't think anyone's doing IT the way that we're doing IT on youtube at the moment.

And I enjoy and it's gonna a get Better this year. It's gonna get spun up even harder. So hopefully you will see even more crazy like go back and watch the Chris bomb stead episode. We made some errors on that from a production perspective, but largely IT looks like a scene out of cyberpunk twenty seven seven. So cal, ah we here, oh, summer been ballin.

Oh, my fucking god, that is the a summer bin ballin, was your appearance on geological podcast a pivotal moment for your own brand? And how does this this experience relate to building friendships and situations where you might not be the most knowledgeable? Yeah, IT was.

It's like a seal of approval, right? You get stamped from the king or whatever you are, bestow sort of taps the sod on either shoulder and says, like this is one of the people that you should look up up presuming that you don't shit the back on the episode, I think I need to avoid doing that. Um IT was IT was a an important moment.

I think that IT IT IT genuinely kind of does open doors, but not in the immediate, like you just get this turn of influx of things, just that people see you in a different way and you become part of a relatively exclusive club. I mean, I don't know joe don, like two thousand episodes, but including all of the repeat guests and stuff, reckon's only had maybe twelve hundred people on the show. So IT is quite a small group that was useful.

How does this experience relate to building friendships in situations where you might not be the most knowledgeable? Are you saying that i'm not the most knowledgeable? Ah, i'm not sure.

I am not quite sure what that means. A I don't know what that means. I'm enough to bail out, James.

Do you ever resonate in mildly with the feeling like impulse syndrome that although having a platform known for applicable knowledge and wisdom that somehow it's present in your guests, but they are still on a journey to attain with ourself? So this gap, for sure, between the people that I speak to and their level of competence and insight uh and me is something that I am full aware of, like on a daily basis. Uh, I have made a career out of being the most stupid person in the room permanently.

And i'm every single time that I sit down i'm reminded of that fact and yeah I interesting the dance never actually given me a postal sync. Me like all these people are whatever than me more rich your famous or successful or arai de or knowledge whatever that me um and I also think that it's not my job I ve never once ever ever posited myself is having IT all sort IT out or even having IT slightly sorted out, having a part of any part of its sorted out, ever. Um I think that one of the reasons that hopefully this resonate with you guys is that I am on the journey.

I am like leaving the bread crimes behind, including the ones that a like crap where I go. I I tried to do this thing and I failed or this was a strategy that I attempted and IT didn't work or whatever, like all of those things, all of those failures and all of those insights are only able to be born out largely because of how difficult I find things and how like useless I been. So um no, I I actually think it's been pretty reassuring, but I can see how if I posited myself as some sort of guru or some you know like great insight around anything that you're supposed to do beyond simply this is my experience.

This is what i've learned works and doesn't work for me and maybe you should try IT IT would be very different. Andrew waterhouse, besides, the drink and tour, are the other products you'd like to sell in future, like J, P, does. His books, courses.

S, B has a book. T, V, shows. That's a, i'm done with TV. What the knocked on word, famous last words, but i'm done with T. V.

It's so unenjoyable IT is fucking awful to watch the slow, clunky behemoth of a huge fucking production tender along and then say, right guys, we're going to go to take one and can we go back and we're going to have to run that again and the blood, dude, its sucks. Then you look at youtube and it's so fast paced and a gile and no tight, it's lean. There's no time wasted.

So TV can get fogged Jordan books courses. So book yet, like I say, by the side of twenty five, you will have something that very proud of. And i'm really excited about a courses I mentioned earlier. N there is a bit of like, and you know, the this taste that people had when I decided to release a drink that I wanted and I needed and then said, hey, i've spent twelve months developing this.

There's a lot of criticism, although it's been a lot more hello, because of how legit the product is and maybe that the lesson that my this quiet around the potential of releasing a course is because the world of courses has been heavily. Consumed and filled by people who released causes that aren't really that worthwhile. And if I was to do IT, if I do IT the same way that we did new tonic, which is like the best in class, absolutely best in class at the Price point, that's that's fair and all the rest of IT, then what is there to be ashamed of? So yeah, I would love you to do some courses.

And you know, there is like, in order for us to continue to make this thing move, I need to sit down in the seat, and that means that I never get a break from sitting down in the seat. And I love sitting down in the seat, but that may come a time. And I just want to take like a two week break and keep things taking over.

So like, what does that mean? I will witnesses, but courses and books would be great on the, on the horizon. Uh, cambell, what would an elite t five episode to start to pack if modern wisdom look like for a new lesson? Er, that's cool.

alright. So we need something motivational, we need something epic, we need something underground that no one knows about, probably the story from left field. So I would say A B to service, not put goggin.

I think goggins is the first one. I think any winter bugle episode is the second for human nature inside. I think maybe. Homos, too, are from just like a straight up motivational human nature standpoint, a rory sutherland, too. The one that recorded when I was in dubai is just outstanding.

And one of the funnest episodes i've ever done, and I want like a story based one I didn't episode with the guide that the mariana ean was written about and it's basically just a nineteen and a long him explaining situation. So that's five epsom start a pack that notes kind of difficult work out both. SAnderson, how do you find that you're able to be more curious specifically on the topic that you want to learn about, but isn't particularly as exciting for you as another topic?

How do you find that you are able to be more curious not entirely sure what that means, but for me, it's just internal like I I can't stop myself. I want to find out everything. I want to find out why the sky is that color and why the bird moves in that way, and why that person uses their left hand, not their right hand, to eat cake and all of the things.

I want to know them all and IT a blessing. In a case when IT comes to trying to make yourself more curious to learn a topic which is less exciting than another one, my advice, unless it's for a degree of, of course, that you kind of don't get to choose, is been off. The other topic, which isn't is exciting and just focus all the exciting ones on the simple solution.

Boy, wonder, do you work out your job muscles with one of them cheery things to look like that? Ah no, I am pretty fat at the moment. Like one of I mean the fastest, slowest, smallest that i've been in a probably ever like since always maybe twenty four or twenty five.

So again, and maybe if the the internet, correct, if all that you need to do to build a podcast is just use one of them T Y things to work your jaw muscles um but no um babin said I think it's jose's i'm pretty sure that they kind of illegally used the video of Andrew huberman talking about either that or in an allegest product. And then um maybe they have have to do a season and disease, I feel like human and then got inboard for some reason. Or Andrew see them somewhere.

I don't know what spend what is something that everybody in the productivity in the productivity slash business believes will get them success but is completely wrong. So I think that there's an overreliance on leverage. And i've seen this in the content creator world, and it's something that i'm also a as the revenue from the show allows me to finally not need to just do everything myself, it's something that i'm very cold of myself, too.

When everyone read the almonacid eval revocate, they believe that leverage was just the most important thing that you can force multiple your inputs to outputs through code, media, labor, capital, whatever the other one is. But what IT caused lots of people to do is take the eye off the ball and take the eye of the main thing, which is the most important thing to them. So they started to outsource and trying get leverage on the main thing that they do.

For instance, there are like three things that I need to get right. I need to choose the right guests. So I cut out source, the guest bucking, uh uh process, or at least the guest election process.

I suppose I need to have a great conversation. So I can't outsource the research process. And IT needs to be framed right to get people to click on IT on the internet.

So I try to touch, as I said, they run. I touch all of the titles, and dumb go is almost all of them. So those are areas in which leverage is really hard for me to apply, but that also the most time consuming, right?

If I get someone else to do all my guests booking, as someone else do all my research, as someone else do all the titles to, i'd free up like twenty hours a week, thirty hours a week, probably. So I understand why people are tempted to do that, but it's also the exact wrong place to do IT. So leverage used in the wrong way to get people to extract themselves from the most important thing that their business does frontis co area pay.

How has the growth of your social media influence changes in your personality of fought processes? That's an interesting question. I guess you know depending on where you came in from, uh there's a question from twitter here, from youtube, from instagram. Um depending on what you came in from, you have a different view of like me or what I do.

There's some people I found me out the other the day the tons of people that subscribe to my news letter that don't even know I did a podcast, literally don't know I did a podcast is the writing or hate the writing and just like to hate read IT, I don't know. so. It's it's nice.

It's very flattering for people to come up and sea nice things. Um it's made me a little bit more skeptical in a way that I wish I could stop about whether new people have my best interest at heart. Um and again, it's that thing from the very topper as like no one teaches you about how to deal with scrutiny of fame or criticism or or attention or any of that stuff.

People just are more interested than you and you don't know how to deal with that and you become skep portal of whether or not they have what like, why. And you think back to a previous version of you and what you think is what this person wouldn't been interested in, the previous version of me. So the only reason they are interested in me now is because they want something.

Me, if they want something that means that don't know my best interest at heart, that means I should be skeptical of them. That is kind of a dangerous mindset to get in, I think because. You want to assume the best from people, especially if they are being nice to you.

So I understand why the songs talking about no new friends, especially for people who obvious ly like infinitely more famous than I am, because IT gets around this problem. If you don't have any any new friends, you don't ever have to question whether or not new people have your best interest. Now IT also means that you maybe don't question whether or not the old people have your best interest at hard.

But that's one thing I want to stop like I I don't want to be skeptical of people just because they're being nicked me and because I imagine this version of the past life, why they wouldn't have been nice to another version to me that wasn't the never a big following or or whatever. So that's one of them. I guess, metal helix, how do you intuitively adapt your views, style and all questions on the fly based on your guest responses? You are very well research, prepared and methodical.

Thank you. But sometimes achieving the optimal conversation flow is chAllenging. Like Peterson, yes, Jordan is like boxing a south pole a little bit, although in the last one he was very disciplined.

The second episode with him, he was IT was way more south poorly, and we were talking over each other. And IT was messy. And I didn't. I wasn't as happy. But the most recent one flowed pretty much perfectly like if you're ever having a conversation, you can see this when you're really, really attuned with someone that the quantum healing people would say that like you're vibrating at the same level, whatever.

Um IT if you're having a conversation and you're able to get single words into their sentence, that word, the word or an allegation word to the one that they were about to use and then they continue the sentence awesome. Like mean Johnson from propane have this quite a lot. He's one of the most even that were quite different people.

He's one of the most attuned in terms of cats that mean that anybody that I speak to a lot of the time, we'll be talking back and forth and held you about to say something and i'll dip in with the word or whatever is. And IT worked brilliantly. That being said, adapting the interviewing style or whatever is just not having too much of a preconceived idea about where it's gonna go.

Like i'm sitting down with this person today. I have a game plan of where I think would be interesting to take IT based on my research of what they do in the intersection of what they do. I'm interested in animal.

See if that then diagram goes and if within the first five minutes, like in the sports game, is that just gets thrown out of the window. So well, guess what, like not talking about the thing that I thought we were talking about today. That's why you do research.

You do research not so you have a list of questions, but so you know the person's body of work and after a while to be onest as well like seven hundred episodes deep. I've done so many, like literally thousands of hours of of this. Now i've always got a story from someone from the past, or some idea, or inside a study, or whatever that i've already learned that I can use.

So if someone wants to go down one rabbit hole, it's been very long time since someone's giving me an entirely new like completely new fucking hell. This is total fresh snow. It's been a long time since that's happened.

So I think it's a combination of preparation not being too like contrived or or or um preplanning with the process and then just going, where goes a moor deep? What is the question you regret not asking a guest? A number two, what is your precious ritual? Precious ritual is pretty simple.

When I get to do IT it's a five minute vocal warm up that miles my speech coach got me to do, which still to this day is great, uh, just getting my tones moving and making sure that i'm nice and precise with my speech and getting my, uh, my mind moving. Usually don't eat for about two hours before if I can IT makes me a bit most lugged. H another one of the reasons that i'm not doing too well today, i'm like looking through the cubs in my kitchen and castle for something that isn't my housemates that he needs or massively out of date.

And there's like whether books so i'm like fuelled by poor sleep neutronic and whether bex today don't know you have weather s in amErica anyway. So pretty little cereal but probably not great if that's all you've had. What is a question that you not that you regret not asking a guest, certainly one that comes to mind from recently was Peterson.

He did something which is technically refer to his jesus sggb on our episode. And he has this idea of, like, if you believe that one thing can be more good than another thing, than you believe that god exists, because god is the most good thing that can exist. And I didn't understand at the time.

And what I wanted to say was, may I might be being stupid here, but that just, that just sounds like a value hierarchy rather than god a and I didn't, because I didn't want to sounds stupid. And then I spoke to alex o. Conner, who is like the most knowledgeable person on this kind of conversation that I know of.

And he just said, that's exactly the question that you should have asked. So I regret not asking that because I didn't want to seem foolish chrysa pedee an high ris. How rewarding does IT feel, given the problem you describe before about your friend conversion rate, that a lot of people you interview have become good friends interviewed a illustrated while in your recent conversation with rob henderson.

So, yeah, I met a million people across my nigh life career and I had a handful of friends here in newcastle, which means that my friendship exposure to conversion ratio wasn't exactly fantastic. And it's unbelievably, rodman, like it's the opportunity to turn your idles into rivals and then rivals into friends is awesome. And then sometimes you don't need to go to the rivals bit first.

You can just go straight to the friend's bit. But luck, I IT feels great. You basically get to create your own social network.

You're like, who do do I want to be friends with that? A person that I respect the best? interesting.

So i'll just try to cast maybe so. Yes, it's awesome. High, Chris.

Which georgine episode features the layers of paint? Quote, the frequently referred to, I think IT was mine. I think IT was the episode that he did with me.

Well, I may be wrong. I may be just, I did up Chris miracle. Very, very clever.

My question is, which guests would you love to have on modern wisdom? Most love to have on mother wisdom? And why naval is still top of the, this man, that guy elusive, elusive, elusive of all um he's so on sabbatical post rogan but um yeah I.

I would love to speak to him. I think that it's the greatest podcast episode that have been made, his episode on rogan. And I would love to run that back, go all out, full cinema set up for him.

So will wait ency a captain race. You talk about people growing themselves from one dollar to one hundred k has a set of skills. IT is has a set of set. I've been fucking died by a bad questioning america.

But then going to ten million type frame, what skill sets do you think you will have to learn to adopt to get to to be to get to? I'm enough to bail out, I mean that to get to one million, that we're already at one million subs. But i'm moving down. I'm moving down.

Spoon mark manson says the identity likes reality by one two years so in some ways you're the Chris with two hundred and forty seven thousand subscribers who hasn't yet interview Jordan Petersen, a joker willing David dogons you haven't to sold out to or launching neutrogena being on rogan with that said, how you finding the blissful ing pace change in your life right now? Does this new reality feel like reality yet? That's a great question.

Um IT feels kind of like IT IT is pretty discreeter. It's like, you know when you get to the top of a roll costs and you sort of everything gets weight less and you do this, IT feels a little bit like that, but i'm getting used to IT and thankful i've got people around me that kind of keep my feet on the ground. And also, it's so much easier to be like this type of like nisan internet fame because you don't see IT in person. And I can also see, having done the live shows, how as a rock star you become completely detached, or maybe a comedian, you become completely detach from the world.

Because, right, well, all of these people, just a doring thousands and thousands of people, whether you know what's three thousand comments on a youtube video like it's a lot of comments but I didn't hit you in the same way that three thousand people turning up in the theatre and talk computers so yeah um reality is unreal in many ways but i'm getting used to IT then rogan, part two happening next week uh IT wasn't um but I D love to go back on um i'm very, very hesitant about suggesting to joe that I come back on that is like a thing that people do human. I came back in town and why do we I get an episode, ord, that makes me feel quite nervous to do that. But yeah, I think hopefully next year that would make me very happy.

Death, do you get nervous before recording a podcast? Is very rare. Now last time was probably some Harris um and that was a little bit rose and then I want away and that was most of because he was late.

I think he was like fifty minutes late. And in the fifty minutes I was waiting IT like started to spin up a little bit. But yes, i've managed to largely get rid of that of that nervous in this beforehand, which is just, you know, the unenviable stack of proof that you are who you say where and work wrong.

Uh, that old fields tipping in the U. S. I'm actually in behaviors, but I understand same protocol of tax and fifteen percent service.

I did you print bill, and then below you were often to leave an extra activity service, which you write in that would depend to leave is IT cost me to leave an extra t unfortunately mad? Yes, IT is. And there is any less than fifteen percent is usually seen as a bit of a snub.

Ten percent is basically like a killed one out in the world of the restaurant. And I typically trying go for between a round. About twenty percent seems pretty, pretty, pretty right.

All right. I'm gonna round IT out there. labs. And gentleman, I appreciate you. Thank you um for all of the subs and all of the support. This is the end of twenty twenty three.

It's been a crazy as you and I have no idea what we're going to be in told once time but I know i'm still gonna doing this. So thank you very much for tuning. 累死。
