My MB Alex breakdown is supported by Helix sleep. Bring is in the air and so are all of the allergens that come with it. Spring allergens means you need more sleep, but there are a ton of factors that can prevent us from getting a good night's rest. Night sweats, back pain, feeling the person next to you when they roll over a million times. We were so excited to hear that Helix wanted to partner with us. I've had my Helix mattress for about five years now and I have been sleeping so much better. Jonathan and also our kids love their Helix mattresses and all of those issues, night sweats, back pain, motion transfer, those things are significantly better with a Helix mattress.

We're just here checking in the day after Thanksgiving to remind you all that we are thankful for all of you. And especially thankful for all of the incredible topics we get to explore and the incredible people that we get to speak to here. We hope you're enjoying your week. And today we're going to revisit an older episode that is very near and dear to our hearts. And I'm laughing because there's a lot of funny things about this episode. We're going to release our episode with Matthew McConaughey. I don't even, John, do I even need to like list his credits? People know him from a variety of films and televisions and like he's been everywhere. He's been everywhere. He's done everything. Most recently I saw him in contact with Jody Foster. I had never seen it. And it is a young Matthew McConaughey. I don't have his bio in front of me, but how it like has he won in Academy Award? He's been nominated. He's like, he's a legitimate actor. Maybe he's won. With these things we don't know, but what we do know is how to talk to Matthew McConaughey about his childhood, his parents divorced and remarried each other three times. That's a little spoiler alert. He talks about everything with us around his career, considering a run for political office. We talk about his book that had just come out when we spoke to him. Also, let's not forget, I ask him the question, do you have any idea who we are? So if that's not enough to tune in, I don't know what is. Myman, I have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent some time hiking in nature. It was phenomenal to have a little bit of peace and calm. And we are excited to dive back into podcasting. So we hope everyone also had a phenomenal Thanksgiving for those people who enjoy being with your family. Fantastic for those people whose family are complicated and maybe bring up all the emotions that they can observe and witness and feel themselves learning from. We're here with you too. Oh my goodness, Jonathan. Sometimes you just say, happy Thanksgiving, have a good autumn. That's what happens when you go visit your family.

But for everyone else, as a friendly reminder, you can get more of us on Substack.

So...

Do you have any idea who we are? I have some more of an idea. Well, we can't believe that you're here talking to us, and I was thinking, what favor did he have to do to come speak to us? Did they do any favors? Did there's something I don't know about Jonathan? Did you know anything about that? Maybe I did that. I don't know that I did. It was a long campaign. It was pressure from all sides to get them here.

We had... Did they do any favors? Did there's something I don't know about Jonathan? Did you know anything about that? Maybe I did that. I don't know that I did.

It was a long campaign.

It was pressure from all sides to get them here. We had deep seated spies in Texas gathering dirt. Not me. I'm not even know what it was. That's what I assumed. So where do we begin? I read this book. It's called Greenlights. not surprised that it is a number one New York Times bestseller.

You know, one of the things that kind of struck me is,

it is not a classic memoir, you know, in the sense that people often think of a memoir. It really is kind of a journey into your journey, as it were. I guess I wanted to sort of start with these two wet dreams you had. Thank goodness. I wouldn't be sitting there talking to you right now if I didn't have those two wet dreams. It's true. Now, the dream you had two dreams that sent you on two separate and very specific journeys in your life. Was it the same dream twice? That's the that's why. Right. It's the same dream. Exactly. I have this dream in 1993. Whoa, I woke up. That was a wet dream. Boy, the elements of that dream Do not add up to a typical wet dream. What was that about? Oh, okay. Okay. Another thing that I related to you with because I sometimes have dreams like that But they're not sexual. It's just like a thing that it's happening But none of them take me to place It's so weird. Okay, go ahead. I shut up. So then I have the dream again, exact same dream, exact same outcome frame. The dream was the exact same frame for frame 11 seconds. Bam. Well, it's the second time that I go in 1996, four years later that I go, whoa. That was the exact same dream. This is a hey, mount come. That's a sign. That's telling me something. I got to chase that down. That's when I went off and chased down Peru because the two things in the dream, where the Amazon river and African tribesmen and that was my geographical point. So then I think my dreams over, I've chased it down, cut to three years later in 1999,

I have the dream the third time,

which tells me I gotta chase down the second half, which was the African tribesman, and I haven't had it since. If I have it again. You might have it tonight, Matthew. You might have it tonight. I hope so. But if I have it again, I don't know what the hell I'll be chasing. I'm just gonna back enjoy it.

Revil in the post.

Well, and one of the other things
