                                         That's what it was.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, so what about the 90s? And then what about the 80s and then what about the 80s because i was born in 1980 you were born in 1984 three
                                         
                                         three i know that and uh 1983 and then so you probably remember the 90s more i remember both
                                         
                                         the 80s and the 90s i remember just obviously the end of the 80s uh but the 90s were like
                                         
                                         the thing for me that's like it's weird that like when i think about my life most of my memories are
                                         
    
                                         condensed into a very brief window from like 12 around 12 to like 15 like so much of my memory
                                         
                                         is is is concentrated around that period of my life and i guess because i was so formed right
                                         
                                         around then yeah and that would have been the mid 90s yeah dude i was watching
                                         
                                         childhood videos the other day i can't watch them i hate shit like that but why why can't you
                                         
                                         i i don't know it's like i was fucking locked in a room and fucking i i just i i can't watch them
                                         
                                         it makes me feel sad dude that's what i've always said and you've always been like why
                                         
                                         that's how i feel i feel that way always i've always felt what i don't know what it is but
                                         
                                         like i just it makes i maybe it's i see myself being young and youthful and happy and then i
                                         
    
                                         and now it's like there's so much other things in the world i think it just makes us whether
                                         
                                         we realize it or not think about dying maybe maybe especially because you see so many people on the video you're like oh they're dead they're right yeah
                                         
                                         because you killed them yeah yeah no it's just it's just weird and it's like you gotta there's

                                         thing anymore yeah and it just makes you realize that time moves everything changes and it's just
                                         
                                         like yeah it's too much we can't process that feeling and emotions i can't i can't feel all that man yeah yeah it hurts yeah

                                         Wow.

                                         No, but that's fine, but it's deeper.
                                         
                                         But I had such a good childhood.
                                         
                                         It doesn't make sense in that sense, but it's true.
                                         
    
                                         Don't like it.
                                         
                                         Don't want to do it.

                                         of thinking about like, when I watch commercials, I like thinking about, wow, times have changed
                                         
                                         so much.

                                         Hi, Matt.
                                         
                                         My name's Melanie.
                                         
                                         I live in Portland, Oregon.
                                         
    
                                         And the question I have for you guys is, in 2018, I started my own business, which is a
                                         
                                         daycare center. Cool. And 2020 was projected to be my best year. Obviously COVID hit. Yeah. I'm
                                         
                                         super proud now that it's 2022. We've made it on the other side and I'm doing really well.
                                         
                                         There's so many things I should be proud of, but I'm finding that the sense of entitlement that
                                         
                                         people have across all industries and any sort of social exchanges I've observed is one where people are just rude,
                                         
                                         blatantly rude and, and have the sense of entitlement of how they, how they should be
                                         
                                         able to interact with each other. I feel like we forgot how to socialize, how to talk like normal
                                         
                                         individuals. Uh, it's really affecting my view on going to work i don't love what i do
                                         
    
                                         anymore and uh it is my own business and free conch so i like free couch do literal and verbal
                                         
                                         spin moves on the rug um and i can't retire at 32 so like any advice on how to survive
                                         
                                         post pandy entitlement thanks well i think think first of all, just as this pandemic came,
                                         
                                         it's going to go.
                                         
                                         And eventually,
                                         
                                         people will regain or retain
                                         
                                         their ability to be in social situations
                                         
                                         and not be total fucking
                                         
    
                                         either weirdos or assholes.
                                         
                                         Everyone went through a period
                                         
                                         where they were so fucking uptight
                                         
                                         and confused.
                                         
                                         That is not a good mix.
                                         
                                         And we're still all kind of coming out of that.
                                         
                                         And everybody's fucking edgy
                                         
                                         and everybody's weird and scared
                                         
    
                                         kind of. And I think
                                         
                                         the solution here
                                         
                                         is, or my
                                         
                                         advice here is that it's going to pass.
                                         
                                         So just fucking wait it out.
                                         
                                         And find the people that you can make fun of
                                         
                                         and talk to your friends about them.
                                         
                                         I guess that's a good... I guess that though, is it going to get better in past?
                                         
    
                                         Do you think?
                                         
                                         Because like, I know you say the world keeps getting better and better.
                                         
                                         I don't say that.

                                         because things have stagnated.
                                         
                                         Crime rates have gone up.

                                         It's like education
                                         
                                         is way fucked up right now.
                                         
                                         There's fucking inflation.
                                         
                                         The economy's fucked up.
                                         
                                         But it's all because of COVID.
                                         
                                         But in a Jimmy Pinkerton way, it's a lot better, right?
                                         
                                         Steve Pinker.
                                         
    
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         So the thing is-
                                         
                                         John Charisma.
                                         
                                         I think that-
                                         
                                         I don't-
                                         
                                         Look, I struggle with this, honestly.
                                         
                                         Stand-up comedy was my favorite thing in the world.
                                         
    
                                         And the pandemic happened.
                                         
                                         Uh, I, I, I was just gonna break also cause I was fucking canceled and shit, but like
                                         
                                         I stopped doing standup.
                                         
                                         And then when I went back, I didn't like it the same.
                                         
                                         And it took a while for me to get back to where I liked it again.
                                         
                                         And what about now?
                                         
                                         And now it's, it's, I, you know, I liked it a lot, but there are some nights that I'm just, I'm not
                                         
                                         feeling it, you know, and that never used to happen.
                                         
    
                                         And I don't even want to admit that to myself.
                                         
                                         And here's why I'm able to admit that to myself and be honest about that is because I had
                                         
                                         my son and my son is more important than anything, my family, you know, my family, the three
                                         
                                         of us, more important than anything.
                                         
                                         my family you know my family the three of us more important than anything and so so having that and i can i can be honest and be like it's okay to have nights where i don't want to go do my job
                                         
                                         um and sometimes i find it on stage and i'm like fuck this is amazing and sometimes i don't like
                                         
                                         the other night i was like fucking i had two shows at the improv and i just fucking with the crowds

                                         Well, that's the point though.
                                         
                                         In two years, she won't be doing that shit.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
                                         I will.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Next one.
                                         
                                         So what about though right now?
                                         
                                         Like she wants to know what she can do before things get better, right?
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         But cherry pick the stories about the real big assholes, find humor in it, and go talk
                                         
                                         shit about those people to your friends and make them laugh about it.
                                         
    
                                         Make it a hobby of you.
                                         
                                         Shit talking is a hobby?
                                         
                                         Because the business you started is fucking sick.
                                         
                                         You love it.
                                         
                                         It's what you want to do.
                                         
                                         Find the little things that are so bad, it almost reaches a level of absurdity.
                                         
                                         Also, there's more that matters right now than your business.
                                         
                                         You understand?
                                         
    
                                         And to you.
                                         
                                         there's more that matters right now than your business you understand and to you and and i think that that's what we're you're figuring out is that oh my business is uh i loved it why don't

                                         Wow.
                                         
    
                                         No, but for real though, people, there's that chick that started jumping rope on Instagram
                                         
                                         and she started in the beginning of the pandemic and now she's like a professional jump roper.
                                         
                                         She has millions of followers and she's just like jumping, throwing the shit back and forth.
                                         
                                         That's your advice to her?
                                         
                                         Get on TikTok?
                                         
                                         Yeah, start jumping rope.
                                         
                                         Start jumping rope and get on TikTok.
                                         
                                         Get real healthy, dude.

                                         I think find the real absurdity in it
                                         
                                         absurdity in it
                                         
                                         find it funny
                                         
                                         and then go talk
                                         
                                         fucking mad shit

                                         but maybe in a comedic way
                                         
                                         it's okay okay

                                         huge fan of your work
                                         
                                         especially Matt
                                         
                                         oh cool
                                         
    
                                         I'm a 37 years old man
                                         
                                         that's bad
                                         
                                         foreign
                                         
                                         bad grammar
                                         
                                         been married for 9 years
                                         
                                         and my wife and I
                                         
                                         are expecting our first child
                                         
                                         now
                                         
    
                                         my wife has a couple of male friends that she talks to on the phone almost on a daily basis.
                                         
                                         Quote, in parentheses, male heterosexual friends.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         End parentheses.
                                         
                                         And to be honest, I'm okay with that.
                                         
                                         I get that it's healthy for her to have friends to talk to, and I trust her completely.
                                         
                                         So this really isn't an issue.
                                         
                                         I, on the other hand, another parenthetical,
                                         
    
                                         and here comes the advice part and parenthetical,
                                         
                                         do not have any female friends.
                                         
                                         All of my friends are male.
                                         
                                         So I wonder sometimes if I should reach out to old female friends I used to have,
                                         
                                         see how they're doing,
                                         
                                         or is this bullshit because in the end I'll just end up wanting to fuck them?
                                         
                                         That guy puts asterisks like we don't say fuck and shit all the time.
                                         
                                         So just wondering what you think of this situation.
                                         
    
                                         But also in general, when it comes to married man having female friends versus married woman having male friends.
                                         
                                         Thanks again.
                                         
                                         And I apologize for any spelling and or grammar errors I might have.
                                         
                                         Period.
                                         
                                         So far.
                                         
                                         So far.
                                         
                                         He wrote so far.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         I don't think it's a big deal if he's saying his wife has a couple of male friends
                                         
                                         that she talks to on the phone almost daily, a daily basis.
                                         
                                         Do you, he says, oh, he's okay with that.
                                         
                                         I get it's healthy for her to have friends to talk to, and I trust completely that this
                                         
                                         really isn't an issue.
                                         
                                         So why, so the want to keep in touch with other he doesn't have female friends
                                         
                                         he just wants to he just wants to fuck other people i think honestly really and be around
                                         
                                         them yeah i'm just like if you're really okay with it then like that's the end there's no advice
                                         
    
                                         yeah you don't seek out non-friends to become friends with them that's not how like they're
                                         
                                         if they're your friend already then great yeah become friends with them then great but you don't like is this like retaliatory like what the fuck
                                         
                                         is it seems like it's retaliatory but the thing about it is bad but the thing of course it's bad
                                         
                                         but the thing about it is making new friends of the opposite sex is definitely a little bit more
                                         
                                         dicey than mate than an old but like are these the dude friends that he has
                                         
                                         that she has yeah if she's had them before him yeah then fuck it you know what i mean of course
                                         
                                         yeah like i mean who cares yeah i i this is just crazy you're you this is just so much
                                         
                                         i don't know if you want to fuck people, other people, but like,
                                         
    
                                         on the other hand,
                                         
                                         here comes the advice part.
                                         
                                         Do not have any female friends.
                                         
                                         All of my friends are male.
                                         
                                         So I wonder sometimes
                                         
                                         if I should reach out
                                         
                                         to old female friends
                                         
                                         I used to have
                                         
    
                                         and see how they're doing.
                                         
                                         Here's the thing.
                                         
                                         That's so weird.
                                         
                                         If you're really okay with it,
                                         
                                         you wouldn't have that next thought.
                                         
                                         I think he's not okay with it.
                                         
                                         He's not okay with it.
                                         
                                         Okay, we figured that out.
                                         
    
                                         Yes, he knows
                                         
                                         he should be okay with it
                                         
                                         and he's right about that, but he's not. Just acknowledge that you're not okay with it. Okay, we figured that out. Yes, he knows he should be okay with it and he's right about that, but he's not.
                                         
                                         Just acknowledge that you're not okay with it
                                         
                                         and then ask yourself why
                                         
                                         because you really should be.
                                         
                                         I'm not okay with it.
                                         
                                         It doesn't fucking matter.
                                         
    
                                         Dude, it doesn't matter.
                                         
                                         You say yourself you fucking trust her.
                                         
                                         It's fine.
                                         
                                         Go to her right now and be like,
                                         
                                         baby, you've got a lot of male friends.
                                         
                                         I'm insecure about it.
                                         
                                         That's what my advice is.
                                         
                                         Is everything cool?
                                         
    
                                         And also, do you think maybe you could back
                                         
                                         off with that or are you going to be like no those are my friends and then i got to deal with it
                                         
                                         because maybe she'll be like huh yeah i guess i do talk to them quite a bit maybe i should open up
                                         
                                         to you more yes dude maybe dr phil eat your heart out but she shouldn't even like regardless of him
                                         
                                         she shouldn't become less good of friends with these
                                         
                                         friends of hers just because he's insecure yes what they should work on is trying to make him
                                         
                                         less insecure yes and that mostly comes from him yes exactly not trying to get new chicks to
                                         
                                         that is just what the fuck or or old exes old fligs hey what's up my girlfriend's on the phone

                                         I work overnights at a warehouse 6 PM p.m. to 6 a.m.
                                         
                                         Maybe that affects things.
                                         
                                         Maybe I have ADHD or something else.
                                         
                                         With the mask.

                                         Why are you wearing it now?
                                         
                                         Well, I have five guitars.

                                         he's asking how to get more organized or how to be focused. Don't spend any time being hard on yourself for not being focused and,
                                         
                                         and organized.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Organized.
                                         
                                         I got to get organized.
                                         
                                         Don't spend any time like beating yourself up about that.
                                         
                                         Either be,
                                         
                                         be in one of two States at all times,
                                         
    
                                         either doing something about it or not doing anything about it.
                                         
                                         When you're not doing anything about it,
                                         
                                         just be chilling and enjoying yourself.
                                         
                                         Like what John Lennon said.
                                         
                                         Oh my God.
                                         
                                         But the thing about how like
                                         
                                         wasted time is not,
                                         
                                         any time you enjoy wasting
                                         
    
                                         is not wasted time.
                                         
                                         Got it.
                                         
                                         Okay, we're done with that.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we got it.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         But when you are,
                                         
                                         advice on how to get organized is hard
                                         
                                         because I don't know what you do
                                         
    
                                         or what you want to do,
                                         
                                         but- He's organized with his guitars. Yeah, exactly. I don't know what you do or what you want to do but he's
                                         
                                         organized with his guitars yeah i don't know if i believe this guy completely i think that what he
                                         
                                         what it is is he has a lack of doing the things he doesn't want to do he has a lack of desire to
                                         
                                         doing things he doesn't want to do and that's where the organization fucking thing comes into
                                         
                                         play yes figured it out and i think i can relate to that right i know a hundred percent i want to
                                         
                                         do like four things how many do you want to do yeah less okay there we go so i mean it's not a
                                         
                                         competition but two things right i want to do one thing but like i want to do like four things. How many did you want to do? Yeah, less. Okay, there we go. So, I mean, it's not a competition.
                                         
    
                                         I want to do two things.
                                         
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         I want to do one thing.
                                         
                                         But like-
                                         
                                         I want to do half of a thing.
                                         
                                         But so, I've never done anything.
                                         
                                         But that's what this guy is.
                                         
                                         Because this guy, I see.
                                         
    
                                         And I'm like, I'm looking at this and I'm like, am I Sherlock Holmes?
                                         
                                         Do you know what I mean?
                                         
                                         Because I see it and I know the answer.
                                         
                                         But why do I know the answer, right?
                                         
                                         Because I'm doing all this stuff subconsciously, like focusing on the lint on his thing.
                                         
                                         Oh, he took it to the dry cleaners.
                                         
                                         Oh, the fucking, you know what I mean oh i know what you mean bunched up but what you mean is upsetting me real quick and i get it okay and i don't even know why but now i get it
                                         
                                         because i did a sherlock holmes thing where i'm like dude you're not organized really yeah that's
                                         
    
                                         very interesting well then why do you have six guitars placed in a fucking neat fashion they're
                                         
                                         all equidistant same height exactly i don't buy it either and also you have that mask on it was ready wasn't it you thought about this
                                         
                                         so it's not about organization it's about you don't want to do the things that you don't want
                                         
                                         to do yeah yes i identify with that and i'm like sherlock holmes is you know stop saying that part
                                         
                                         though you know what i mean i'm like that that was like Sherlock Holmes. That wasn't anything like Sherlock Holmes.
                                         
                                         There's nobody dead.
                                         
                                         Nothing stolen.
                                         
                                         Is Sherlock Holmes real?
                                         
    
                                         No.
                                         
                                         So nobody's like Sherlock Holmes.
                                         
                                         Yeah, including you.
                                         
                                         Yes!

                                         ask for that.
                                         
                                         Do Uber Eats.
                                         
                                         If you're asking what the reason is
                                         
                                         that you're disorganized,
                                         
                                         I keep doing it
                                         
                                         because I made this stupid fucking joke.
                                         
    
                                         Disorganized and sort of all over the place,'t get your shit together so to speak i think uh your job has so much to do with it um so just know that and be a little
                                         
                                         easier on yourself about it but uh i think as chris said even though i don't like how he said
                                         
                                         he's sherlock holmes he's probably right in that you're talking about the things in life that none of us actually want to do.
                                         
                                         So just fucking do them because you're a fucking adult.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Also, yeah.
                                         
                                         No, that's right.
                                         
                                         I do agree with that.
                                         
    
                                         I agree with myself.
                                         
                                         Okay.

                                         Hi, guys.
                                         
                                         Here's the dilemma.
                                         
                                         Make this quick.
                                         
                                         Started talking to this girl when I lived in California from back in Washington.
                                         
    
                                         We FaceTimed every night, got close.
                                         
                                         One day she stops talking to me.
                                         
                                         A little bit of time goes by, I find out she's having an affair with one of my friend's dads.
                                         
                                         And I was like, whoa, it got messy, right?
                                         
                                         It got sloppy.
                                         
                                         I get back home, she got a fat ass.
                                         
                                         So she hit me up one day and I was like, I still want to hit it.
                                         
                                         She comes over, I hit it. Then she starts talking about one day and I was like, I still want to hit it. She comes over.
                                         
    
                                         I hit it.
                                         
                                         Then she starts talking about dating.
                                         
                                         And I was like, nah.
                                         
                                         And then she freaks out on me.
                                         
                                         Tells me I'm a fuck boy.
                                         
                                         Tells me she regrets having sex.
                                         
                                         She says, I gave you my body.
                                         
                                         Bitch, I gave you my dick.
                                         
    
                                         It's not like this is a game and I won.
                                         
                                         Right?
                                         
                                         We both wanted to have sex here.

                                         Hey, Chris and Matt.
                                         
                                         Big boy.
                                         
                                         Big boy.
                                         
                                         My question today is about my family.
                                         
                                         My mom and my stepdad have been together for 15 years or so.
                                         
                                         I love them both, but I've noticed something between them lately.
                                         
                                         My mom is the kind of person who she gets really defensive about you calling her out.
                                         
    
                                         She can't accept that she's wrong about anything.
                                         
                                         And lately I've noticed her being kind of mean and irritable and snappy
                                         
                                         towards my stepdad, and he just kind of takes it.
                                         
                                         He's the kind of person, he's been struggling with anxiety a little bit,
                                         
                                         a little bit of depression, and I feel bad because I can just see her being mean to him
                                         
                                         sometimes when I'm over there.
                                         
                                         He doesn't say anything about it.
                                         
                                         So I wonder if you think I should confront my mom about it or not.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe your advice would be helpful.
                                         
                                         Thanks.
                                         
                                         Fuck yeah, dude.
                                         
                                         Bring it up.
                                         
                                         He seems like a nice guy.
                                         
                                         First of all, he's got the wrong voice for who he is.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but I think I actually think
                                         
                                         that maybe he should bring it up with the stepdad.
                                         
    
                                         Do you want me to?
                                         
                                         Oh, I thought he was insinuating that the stepdad does have a problem with it oh it's not i mean
                                         
                                         it sounds to me like maybe he's oblivious to it but you might be right i'm just saying but no
                                         
                                         even if he is aware of it say you know i noticed that my mom is like kind of saying he's cutting
                                         
                                         things to you i just want to before i say anything to her i just want to like see you how you feel
                                         
                                         about that if it's like you guys talk about it sometimes or like i don't want to before i say anything to her i just want to like see you how you feel about that
                                         
                                         if it's like you guys talk about it sometimes or like i don't want to butt in but like i've started
                                         
                                         to notice it and and i feel like saying something sometimes i just want to know where you're at with
                                         
    
                                         this you know what i'm saying or you could just approach it be like so you're a beta huh and you
                                         
                                         like and you like that huh and you're cool with it okay because my mom she's walking all over you
                                         
                                         because he said the deal he specifically said she's, because my mom, she's walking all over you. Because he said- What's the deal? He specifically said my mom gets defensive.
                                         
                                         And she's getting defensive, right?
                                         
                                         Every time you bring something up, she's like, what the heck, so you made a-
                                         
                                         So what are we going to do about that?
                                         
                                         Are you going to say something or I'm going to say something, right?
                                         
                                         You can do that.
                                         
    
                                         Because somebody's got to say something because we can't let this bitch get out of control, okay?
                                         
                                         If he's saying this about his own mom-
                                         
                                         And then we'll walk out.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         If he's saying this about his own mom.
                                         
                                         And then we'll walk out.
                                         
                                         Then that means something to me because that's blood.
                                         
                                         And his stepdad is ostensibly someone he met later in life.
                                         
    
                                         This is his real actual mom.
                                         
                                         So like there must be some fucking shitty stuff that she's saying.
                                         
                                         Yep.
                                         
                                         But I would recommend not really getting involved with the more volatile one. That's why I say maybe to i know but that's his blood though that's the thing it's like saying it to hit the the dad the
                                         
                                         stepdad saying i mean it's been 15 years though so that is a long time okay i missed that part
                                         
                                         so so maybe you say like yo i've noticed mom being defensive what do you feel about that
                                         
                                         it's not just defensive though in the in lieu of or after
                                         
                                         the defensive shit yeah she gets increasingly over the course of days and weeks yeah gets
                                         
    
                                         more cutting and shitty yeah so so then say i've noticed she's been doing this have you
                                         
                                         i you don't want to go behind your mom's back but you have known him for 15 years has been in your
                                         
                                         life yeah so it'd be like well how do you feel about that and if he's just like i don't know
                                         
                                         it's okay they'd be like oh so you're do you feel about that? And if he's just like, I don't know, it's okay. They'd be like, oh, so you're a beta, are you?
                                         
                                         Interesting, okay.
                                         
                                         Well, that's what I'm saying. And then you talk to the mom
                                         
                                         and you'd be like,
                                         
                                         ma, yo, it makes me uncomfortable

                                         Imagine if they called it The Vomit.
                                         
                                         Dude, that would be a horror movie in the 80s.
                                         
                                         The Vomit.

                                         Remember ours, the time that we laughed so hard was,
                                         
                                         and you peed.
                                         
                                         You actually peed a little bit.
                                         
                                         Because you were laughing so hard.
                                         
                                         You told me this.
                                         
                                         We were on the way back from Utah driving,
                                         
                                         and we were listening to that song and we were making fun
                                         
    
                                         of the song
                                         
                                         about how the guy
                                         
                                         was killing it in the music
                                         
                                         we were laughing so hard
                                         
                                         and at the end
                                         
                                         the fucking
                                         
                                         after the crescendo
                                         
                                         of the song
                                         
    
                                         it was fading out
                                         
                                         and the guy was killing it
                                         
                                         and he just goes
                                         
                                         oh that's fucking right
                                         
                                         or whatever dude
                                         
                                         no the song
                                         
                                         the song he kept saying
                                         
                                         every day
                                         
    
                                         every day
                                         
                                         every day
                                         
                                         and at the very end he goes every, every day, every day, every day. And at the very end, he goes, every motherfucking day.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's right.
                                         
                                         How do you remember that?
                                         
                                         Because I laughed so hard.
                                         
                                         Dude, you laughed so hard, so did I, but you piss came out.
                                         
                                         I peed.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Bro, we were dying, dude.
                                         
                                         The only time as an adult I've peed my pants, yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I have diapers that I wear sometimes in the bed, and I try to piss.
                                         
                                         That's because you're lazy, though.
                                         
                                         Yep. It's not because somebody's making you laugh hard. I know, no, I know. No, I don't laugh and I try to piss. That's because you're lazy though. Yep.
                                         
                                         It's not because somebody's making you laugh hard.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
    
                                         No, I know.
                                         
                                         No, I don't laugh in my sleep like really hard.
                                         
                                         That would be amazing.
                                         
                                         That would be great.

                                         I just had a question about passion.
                                         
                                         I can't find anything that I'm really passionate
                                         
                                         about. I'm 30 years old.
                                         
                                         I have some hobbies. I like playing
                                         
                                         guitar. I like playing piano.
                                         
                                         I taught myself how to tattoo.

                                         i enjoy doing them but i'm not like enthralled with anything do you think that it's okay to go
                                         
                                         through life without having a passion and is it or is it just the fact that i'm not looking hard

                                         Life rips.
                                         
                                         Hell yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Life does rip even if you don't have a passion yet.
                                         
                                         He's young.
                                         
                                         He's 30.
                                         
                                         He's still young.
                                         
                                         He's young.
                                         
                                         Did he say he's 30?
                                         
                                         Yeah, he's 30.
                                         
                                         He's still young in the modern sense because as Steven Picker would point out,
                                         
    
                                         the lifespan of the average adult human is getting longer and longer.
                                         
                                         So whereas 30 used to be towards the end of your life 100 years ago,
                                         
                                         now it's still even more and more and more at the beginning of your life.
                                         
                                         As Steven Pinker would point out.
                                         
                                         Steven Pinker.
                                         
                                         Things are getting better and better.
                                         
                                         Thanks to John Charisma.
                                         
                                         I think that it's okay to not have a passion yet.
                                         
    
                                         What I would start to be concerned about,
                                         
                                         he said, is it okay to live a life without passion? I don't think that that is possible to be fulfilled.
                                         
                                         If you have no passion about anything for an entire, let's say, a fully lived life to like 78 and then you die,
                                         
                                         to be passionate about nothing would be pretty extraordinary and I think not good.
                                         
                                         You think it'll happen?
                                         
                                         That's what I'm saying though.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Ultimately, I think you will run into your body.
                                         
    
                                         So it's okay, don't worry about it.
                                         
                                         But keep being curious
                                         
                                         and it sounds like he is.
                                         
                                         He's reading,
                                         
                                         he's doing shit,

                                         30 doesn't sound like super young,
                                         
                                         but you're still being curious
                                         
    
                                         and being an exploratory mind.
                                         
                                         So just keep fucking exploring

                                         all right let's talk about the housing market. Wow. Where you started. 30.
                                         
    
                                         My wife and I are trying to buy our first house.
                                         
                                         Nice.
                                         
                                         And the market's just terrible.
                                         
                                         We moved into the in-law suite of my parents' house about two years ago.
                                         
                                         Saved money for a house and wedding.
                                         
                                         Well, we're married now.
                                         
                                         We got a bunch of money saved up.
                                         
                                         We're pre-approved for way more than we should ever spend.
                                         
    
                                         But everything on the market is listed for double what it last sold for.
                                         
                                         And we really don't want to do that.
                                         
                                         We looked at a fixer upper last night that it was $215,000.
                                         
                                         Um,
                                         
                                         and the realtors probably said we should offer two 40 if we want to have a
                                         
                                         fighting.
                                         
                                         So like two 40 for a fixer upper is ridiculous.
                                         
                                         I want to let you want to see what you guys think.
                                         
    
                                         Um,
                                         
                                         and this is my work van.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         I'm sure Chris has already mentioned it.
                                         
                                         What the fuck's this guy in a coffin?
                                         
                                         So anyways, cool.
                                         
                                         That's what a work van looks like, Chris.
                                         
                                         Thanks, guys.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, I wouldn't know.
                                         
                                         Yeah, dude, the fucking housing market is insane.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's really, really stupid.
                                         
                                         It's insane.
                                         
                                         It can't be like this for too much longer.
                                         
                                         No, it's slowing down right now already.
                                         
                                         It is slowing down.
                                         
                                         The very, very top of the market is really slowing down really, really, really fast and drastically.
                                         
    
                                         But that's the very top of the market?
                                         
                                         Yeah, not where anyone that we –
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And then it'll trickle down, right?
                                         
                                         Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Trickle down.
                                         
    
                                         I know that from Ronald Reagan.

                                         Trickle down economics.
                                         
                                         He taught you that? Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Trickle down. I know that from Ronald Reagan. Okay. Trickle down economics. He taught you that?

                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         Something back then.
                                         
                                         But he,

                                         I know you don't want to be
                                         
                                         with the fucking in-laws.

                                         In-laws, sweet.

                                         So too many fucking relationships.
                                         
                                         Yeah, definitely.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think you got to wait.
                                         
    
                                         You're in a position now
                                         
                                         where you can wait. I think you should wait. It's just too much, I think you got to wait. You're in a position now where you can wait.
                                         
                                         I think you should wait.
                                         
                                         It's just too much.
                                         
                                         I know you want, because here's the other thing too.
                                         
                                         Don't get a fixer-upper.
                                         
                                         And this is why you don't get a fixer-upper because you're, what did he say?
                                         
                                         He's 30?
                                         
    
                                         30.
                                         
                                         Dude, this may not be your dream house and that's okay.
                                         
                                         This may not be your dream house and that may be okay because you can get that.
                                         
                                         You have plenty of time to do that.
                                         
                                         So right now what you don't want to do is blow a bunch of cash that you don't have to
                                         
                                         when you could wait another year and then fucking blow less cash and then have more
                                         
                                         cash for either fixing shit up or also your dream house later.
                                         
                                         I wish you said where he was though.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, me too.
                                         
                                         That makes a big difference.
                                         
                                         Because sometimes, depending upon the area, area place like sometimes some markets just actually don't go down they stagnate
                                         
                                         and go up slower than other times like in the last two three years the la housing market has
                                         
                                         been just like straight up going like my like my fucking boner like my boner just straight up
                                         
                                         nope uh whatever but now when the la market starts to go like this yeah dude like your boner like my boner just straight up nope whatever but now when the la market starts to go like this
                                         
                                         yeah dude like it'll be it'll be like still up but not as much so shut the fuck up um i hope you
                                         
                                         do understand so la market like this is like right now like for me i'm not gonna say it for the word
                                         
    
                                         worst housing expert worst housing expert but depending upon where you are what's gonna happen
                                         
                                         is we're gonna get down to Matt's level.
                                         
                                         Some markets just
                                         
                                         actually might go down
                                         
                                         at some point
                                         
                                         and you don't want to spend
                                         
                                         too much money
                                         
                                         at a place that
                                         
    
                                         is never going to ever
                                         
                                         reach that level again.
                                         
                                         So like if he's in a market
                                         
                                         that is constantly
                                         
                                         going to be going up,
                                         
                                         it wouldn't matter.
                                         
                                         But if you're in a market
                                         
                                         that like who the fuck
                                         
    
                                         would generally
                                         
                                         in normal times
                                         
                                         want to buy a house there
                                         
                                         and you're spending over asking, that's a fucking bad idea.
                                         
                                         Oh, so West Palm Beach is not what you're saying.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         He's always fucking boner like so.
                                         
                                         But if he's in West Palm Beach, then you might want to spend over because you're never going to lose money.
                                         
    
                                         Yes, right.
                                         
                                         Because the boner is only going to get stronger.
                                         
                                         You're going to make less money.
                                         
                                         Right, right, right.
                                         
                                         You're not going to lose money.
                                         
                                         Shut up.

                                         Let's assume he's not in one of those places.
                                         
                                         Those places are not the majority. John Charisma?

                                         Go to a place where that's more like your boner,
                                         
                                         where the fucking market is going to be a little bit more like my boner
                                         
                                         a little bit later.
                                         
                                         No, go to a place that is going up, up, up always so that if you –
                                         
    
                                         here's the deal.
                                         
                                         If you really want to get the fuck out of there, then go to a place where the market is never really going to be depressed
                                         
                                         or crash. Right. But also-
                                         
                                         If you're in a place that isn't like that and you're unwilling to look at a place that is like
                                         
                                         that, then absolutely wait and wait till your money can go further, can go longer, can really
                                         
                                         stretch. But you don't want to get a fixer upper. You don't want to max out and get a fixer upper
                                         
                                         because where the fuck are you going to get the money to fix
                                         
                                         it up? Right, right, right. If you're going to
                                         
    
                                         go over and max the fuck out, you have
                                         
                                         to be getting your dream house

                                         Okay, yeah, you're right. You're right, dude. But wait
                                         
                                         it out a little bit for the most part because
                                         
                                         it's crazy right now. Everything is on fire. Yeah, unless you can get
                                         
                                         your dream house for the 240 or whatever the fuck
                                         
                                         you can max out at, then don't do it. Yeah, good point.
                                         
    
                                         Good point. All right, cool.
