Hello friends welcome back to the show my guest today is me I hit 1.75 million

subscribers on YouTube and to celebrate as is tradition I ask for questions from

YouTube and Twitter and Instagram so here is another 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible.

As always, there's some great questions in here about my thoughts on James Smith's recent video about modern podcasting, why women are so afraid of men now

and how to deal with social anxiety.

Expect to learn whether I think Coffey Zilla is right that people should only speak on their

expertise. My ultimate goal with the podcast, how to balance high

standards with gratitude, the plans for Newtonic, what my pickleball rating is,

whether I'll start changing the show's content when I have a family, and much more. A little bit of a different vibe today. You may

notice in my sentiment and sort of the way that I was feeling that day that I don't know just not that things are getting to me but the

pressure of increased scrutiny after the Rogan episode and all of these people and there's this

sort of culture of pushback against podcasts and all the rest of it.

It's interesting. It's more open and more honest and more vulnerable and reflective and transparent

than I usually am and that is something that I struggle with a good bit on the show opening up this much.

But yeah, I hope that it comes across in the right way. I hope that it gives you guys a bit of an

insight into actually what's going on internally and what it feels like to kind of be on this roller coaster from you know absolute normal bloke to still a

normal bloke but just a normal bloke that reaches half a billion people a year and

is battling with the challenges associated with all of that attention and stuff.

So it might be, I hope it is interesting to you. It's definitely at least interesting to me even if it's a mixed bag sometimes. Anyway I'll stop waffling.

This episode is brought to you by Whoop. I've won Whoop for over four years now

since way before they were a partner on the show and it is the only

wearable I have ever stuck with because it's the best it is so innocuous you do not remember
