  • His take on life is amazing. He helped me understand reality more, Withstand personal tragedy and appreciate life. To say he changed how I perceive life is an understatement. From Ethiopia.

  • About episode 495 “green tea over rice”…

    Ah yes! Green tea over rice! Ocha tsuke. Japanese comfort food. Bland? Boring? Mmm, more subtle. One of my favorite things to have in a Japanese restaurant. As far as soups go second only to my grandmother‘s chicken soup with matzah balls..

  • Top notch life & dating advice.

    This dude - as I used to call him - used to rub me up the wrong way often on IG during covid with his take on dating and especially women. But I’m a person who finds it’s interesting listening to new viewpoints. So I’d listen to the full videos when they popped up.. and after a while I began to see Dr Taraban’s point. I even bought his audiobook, the value of others, which I would highly recommend. It can be a bit jarring hearing the truth we all try to hide. I guess it’s a game we were all taug... more

  • Pushing an unsubstantiated agenda.

    There’s an obvious heavy conservative lean to this persons viewpoint. He seeks to make you fit in the little box he deems appropriate for you. It is categorically inappropriate for him to present like an authority when it is so clear there is much of his personal feelings about gender roles etc. enters the conversation. He’s skewering the information to fit his narrative. Don’t trust him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 559: She can cry (how to deal with an emotional woman)
Q: What does it mean to cultivate your dad sense?
It means quickly judging a situation to determine whether action is necessary or if it's best to do nothing when a woman cries.

Q: What if you're unattractive to women just as you are?

Deep Dive 008: Dr. Robert Glover (authenticity, attraction, and nice guy syndrome)
Q: What is a nice guy and what's so bad about it?
A nice guy is someone who doesn't believe he is okay as he is, often basing his self-worth on the approval of others, which can lead to unhealthy relationship dynamics.
