Y’all are so harsh to Mike! It is fine to disagree, but at times it was like you guys jumped down his throat. IMO Carly was the only one who disagreed with his in a respectful manor. Other than that really enjoyable episode!!!
You’d think bc there’s 4 that of course they’d have different opinion but they shouldn’t discourage him in that way when he’s only giving his opinion in which they did ask for bc it’s from all 4
i totally agree! i hope they realize soon that they’re cutting him off a lotttt and back off a little. a 4 person podcast is a different dynamic than a 2 person podcast! there’s more people so you’re going to talk less lol
I love mike. The way they responded to the first caller who hasn’t been in a relationship in 9 years really rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciate mikes commentary about abuse and trauma.
@@Dheal yeah but if it gets to the stage of 9 years, that person obviously has developed some issues so you should make sure to treat them with respect lol
I’ve been a Carly and Erin girly since the beginning, and love Matt but I am REALLY loving Mike’s perspective so far on the pod- especially this episode. He’s super empathetic and has a lot of great advice. Again - love Matt- but the way he responded to the first advice question rubbed me the wrong way. As an outgoing, attractive, famous guy- he would never understand that perspective. Also wish you guys had given more advice than just “get out there” I’m 23 and haven’t had a relationship, or even a fling since highschool. I’ve realized meeting up with strangers from dating apps isn’t for me due to the horrible social anxiety it gives me. I try to look approachable and go out a lot by myself…. But it sounds like the only place you can meet people is bars these days. I don’t have friends that party and go out and I’m not a big fan of it either. Would’ve loved to hear more from Carly because I know she struggles with anxiety and did a lot of dating things later in life than is “normalized”. Love u all and will be a continuous listener 💜
love your input! i love mike on any podcast i ever catch him on. he has such a great energy! i think for people like matt or erin, or anybody else in their world, it can be hard for them to actually know what it’s like to be a regular joe like us. they’re wealthy, they’re insanely beautiful, they’re well connected, they have these extravagant careers that provide them extravagant lives- they will never truly know what it’s like to be an average normal person. i think their ignorance to how 99% of their followers exist contributes to their perceived insensitivity. no hate to any of them, i really like them all! but their disconnect from average looking, middle class people def contributes to their “insensitivity”
honestly this episode put perspective on who erin and carly are. i feel bad for mike and how he was shut down every time. i don’t think everyone needs to agree but everyone should be allowed to have a perspective
and mike is too sweet and too soft spoken to insist on them allowing him to finish his thought when they cut him off! i notice the girls cut people off a lot and on their own pod, erin cuts off carly a lot. i hope they eventually realize they’re all cutting mike off a lot and back off a little bit lol
@@samfolks8531 it also could they are used to a two person podcast but their not the only ones that are giving an opinion or perspective gotta let the underdogs talk a bit.
I really liked this episode even though I don't appreciate how you guys talked about the first person that wrote a submission, it's really discouraging to others like me who are interested in writing in because you really dragged her lol
Yup- When you have a very time-consuming career, are maybe not as conventionally attractive as the Good Influences gang, and don’t live in a place with lots of options then it’s easy for years to go by with no relationship. TBH I think that question was a bad choice as most on the panel are not really capable of answering or relating. 9 years is certainly a long time- but there’s lots of people who experience similar “droughts” or have a hard time making connections. If you’ve selected a question I think you need to commit to giving a thoughtful sensitive answer.
@@eb6060 yeah they truly could not relate at all to it and just reacted to what the person wrote, I hope they're more mindful in their choice on the next episode
I personally found myself nodding to what Mike said the most. Thought his perspectives were very wise and insightful and probably the most helpful. Wasn't a lover of how Erin shut down his views a lot! Definitely needs to be worked on.
I do feel like the ones in more power of talking or even talk the most are Erin and Matt, and for Carly she’s kinda in between for me, while I love them I hope Mike gets more time and he’s not shut down as much.
I've been single for 6 years, nearly 7 so I fully get what the woman was saying about being single for 9 years. the struggle is real. no one wants to date or be in relationships anymore because they think "there's always something better around the corner" on tinder, only fans etc. Just focus on loving yourself first and then you will attract the same kind of people that are meant to be in your life. Until then, take yourself on dates, learn to love YOU and work on your relationship with No.1 ❤
so happy that you guys felt the good energy and potential for a group podcast when you did hoot & a half together because it really is SO good! i LOVE this group together and i know i will be listening to every episode!❤
I had on my dating profile a meme that said “I’m tired of dating, write a 500 word essay on why you won’t waste my time” and some people actually did it but ended up wasting my time anyway LOL
Just what I needed! I need to get up and clean. So this is the motivation I was looking for! Edit to add I’ve deep cleaned and organized 3 rooms! And I’ve dated the same guy for the the past 10 years (in 12 days lol) so I am not much help. But I do believe that people need to be kinder to themselves and take educated risks. Know that rejection can/will happen. But always follow your instincts and go for it. And like Lauren and and Jeremy say ‘if they want to, they will’
Pleaseee do an episode on anxiety/mental health! I have a lot of the same anxieties as Erin, esp health anxiety and would love to hear everyone's take on it all
I love love love this podcast!!! I'm 49 and the videos were part of a weird subscription that you could order 2 way's, by snail mail or 1-800 #!!! You would mail them back and if you're interested they hook ya right on up🤣🤣🤣🤣 I never did it but my auntie did!! Again awesome episode 💯🥰
I've totally gone speed dating at comic con! They just set up chairs across from each other. Women stayed seated and men moved. It was fun! Met a lot of cool people.
omg carly makes me feel so seen lol hard relate to the issue of my brain automatically flipping a switch on someone i like once they show interest back 🤣
She constantly cuts off mike and it almost comes off as belittling him. Not everything she says is interesting either. Be respectful and watch them either ignore the comments or address it but they’ll be sarcastic asses, but I get it I use sarcasm too when I can’t admit im wrong
Man I felt they were contradicting Mike often just for shits n giggles. Brought back memories from totally being alienated out of a group in the same way. But I still adore them all, just a lil thing I noticed.
So funny when you guys talked about social media and relationships, my husband doesn't have social media and I would say it was an adjustment I had to get use to. I FOR SURE over analyzed it, but now that I know him it makes sense.
Really liking this podcast! The only think I don’t like is some of the judginess. Like I love that Mike has a different opinion than everyone but I don’t like how the other three respond to him. Also how they respond about the first submission who hasn’t dated in a while. That kinda made me insecure about being inexperience in dating.
I’m 28 and I haven’t been on a date in I think 5 years? Haven’t been in a relationship since 2015 too. I just threw myself into school after that, then just kept saying ok after I graduate then I’ll date, okay after I get a job that’s relevant to my major then I’ll date, then a pandemic happened. Super difficult to get started 🤦🏻♀️ (yes I’ve had s*x since)
Fun fact- Iceland’s first Chabad house opened only in 2018! It was the last European capital without a rabbi until then. I went in 2017 and I think my boyfriend and I were one of maybe 20 Jews there, trying to fend for ourselves finding kosher food lol
I love you guys, but I don't know if having on specific topic each episode is a good idea, because if I'm not interested in the theme, I won't watch 😞 I would rather a conversation type podcast and cover different topics in a single episode
I agree that Mike brings a different type of personality and perspective on things that is super needed to balance a strong opinion like Matt. However, I think we’re forgetting that Carly and Aaron are known for being this sarcastic duo. Their personalities didn’t change just because they started to give opinions on a topic or giving advice. Mike just truly has a different personality which is great when all four of them are together.
just want mike to know I appreciated his perspectives on a lot of these topics even though everyone kept discouraging him
I’m
Love mike !
yes
I was thinking the same thing!! I like having another perspective in the conversation rather than everyone agreeing with each other
@@courtneyspencer7297 exactly my thoughts!
The balance between everyone's personality keeps me entertained, no matter what the topic is 😂
Y’all are so harsh to Mike! It is fine to disagree, but at times it was like you guys jumped down his throat. IMO Carly was the only one who disagreed with his in a respectful manor. Other than that really enjoyable episode!!!

Letting two cheaters take out a decade out of your life is giving them too much importance.

I completely agree, the way they responded to the 9 year thing really disgusted me
I was just thinking I would love to hear from Carly about dating with anxiety!
I agree, Matt was definitely being insensitive

omg wait i’m back after hearing the question response you were specifically talking about- SO insensitive!
Carly is so relatable! Every point she brought up was so accurate
Carly made me laugh out loud so many times during this, even just little comments she makes as reactions are so funny
honestly this episode put perspective on who erin and carly are. i feel bad for mike and how he was shut down every time. i don’t think everyone needs to agree but everyone should be allowed to have a perspective
You’d think that with 4 different opinions, you know agree to disagree, I thought that’s why I would like it this podcast but idk I love mike tho!

You say that about Erin and carly but not matt who was far worse?

I LOVE the dynamic of this group. It's such a perfect flow.
I really hope this podcast takes off because it’s sooo good! You guys have such a natural chemistry and bounce off each other so well. Instant fav 👏🏻
Matt is such a Ross and I’m here for it 🤣
and Patricia is Carol…. 😅 HAHA
@@vanferraren stoppp 🤣🤣
why is this so accurate 💀

When Matt said "some dudes right now, it''s them holding a fish" , I felt that 🤣🤣 standard dude dating profile photo
Matt calling out all the girls with the same photos is so accurate lol 😂 thank god someone said it
Carly n Matt talk about how they used to like each other.
just a note, it would be really nice to have time stamps for each topic!
Could listen to you guys talk for hours. Love this podcast the very most!
so happy that you guys felt the good energy and potential for a group podcast when you did hoot & a half together because it really is SO good! i LOVE this group together and i know i will be listening to every episode!❤
"don't go full jay boice on it" LMAOOOOO
dragged for filth 💀
I had on my dating profile a meme that said “I’m tired of dating, write a 500 word essay on why you won’t waste my time” and some people actually did it but ended up wasting my time anyway LOL
i really really would love a segment on confidence,
i struggle with maintaining the same confidence around everyone rather than just some people
good influences
Just what I needed! I need to get up and clean. So this is the motivation I was looking for!

Carly's slow blinks are perfect!!
🤣 she posted this on her insta story
I can see every single one of you as a character and friend group on a TV show I'd love to bits
"don't go full Jay Boyce on it" LMFAO 💀
I’m happily married and never online dated. Actually didn’t really date a whole lot in general. But I can’t stop listening. This is so interesting
This is the absolute best amalgamation of people for a podcast ever 🤠
I feel like I resonate with Mike. Ever since Hoot and a Half I can tell that of the whole bunch I am definitely most similar to him
good influences having a high episode would be pretty iconic 😂
i love this podcast & yalls chemistry! can’t wait to see it evolve :)
Pleaseee do an episode on anxiety/mental health! I have a lot of the same anxieties as Erin, esp health anxiety and would love to hear everyone's take on it all
53:19 I looove how intrigued and comfy Carly and Matt looks when listening to Mike lmao
I love love love this podcast!!! I'm 49 and the videos were part of a weird subscription that you could order 2 way's, by snail mail or 1-800 #!!! You would mail them back and if you're interested they hook ya right on up🤣🤣🤣🤣 I never did it but my auntie did!! Again awesome episode 💯🥰
u guys definitely need matching mugs with your logo/name on them!! Or the photo with the 4 of u on it would be so good. Love y'all
I love watching your podcast ❤️ I learn and laugh when I watched the two episodes! Love you all ❤️
I've totally gone speed dating at comic con! They just set up chairs across from each other. Women stayed seated and men moved. It was fun! Met a lot of cool people.
omg carly makes me feel so seen lol hard relate to the issue of my brain automatically flipping a switch on someone i like once they show interest back 🤣
Erin gives off mean girl vibes.
She constantly cuts off mike and it almost comes off as belittling him. Not everything she says is interesting either. Be respectful and watch them either ignore the comments or address it but they’ll be sarcastic asses, but I get it I use sarcasm too when I can’t admit im wrong
I agree with carly when she says that the first date always feel like nerve wrecking, similar to giving a speech
Only people with social anxiety/ anxiety can relate
Matt and Carly making each other laugh had me dying 😂
I definitely said "I love you" first. It was the best accident slip if words I've ever had. 10 years later we're still going strong
PLEASE do the as seen on tv episode i neeeed the reactions
...and ofc i have suggestions: big top cupcake, rainbow art, and perfect bacon bowl
awww yes the good morning thing is so cute my boyfriend and i do it every day lol !!
i looove the set its so warm and timeless
as a only friends, hoot & a half and unfiltered fan i am obsessed with podcast. i love y’all’s chemistry and hearing more from mike! keep it up!
This episode is just making us all want to date Matt
this podcast gives me such a warm, autumnal vibe i love it so much
I love Isla Mujeres and hope Matt and Patricia had fun.
A friend from college had a speed dating company in NY years ago.
mike is SO well spoken
Great episode!!! I love this podcast so much ❤️ Much Love Carly, Erin, Matt, & Mike ❤️
Matt is Ross from friends😂 love it!!!!
This is the combination I needed, such a great podcast
Good combination of people for a podcast! Really love Mike and his perspective!
Lmao Matt: I would just get an apartment where the cruise ships take off 😂😂
Yayyyy, watching from Peru! 🇵🇪
I watch mat on 2 podcast now, 3 available!! Matt is kicking the podcast worlds ass
Seeing Matt next to Carly and then Erin next to Mike it’s almost like Matt and Erin are versions of each other and then same with Mike and Carly
I'm on dating apps and it can be hard. Some of the guys that like me are very douche, also women be careful for scammers out there both men and women.
Man I felt they were contradicting Mike often just for shits n giggles. Brought back memories from totally being alienated out of a group in the same way. But I still adore them all, just a lil thing I noticed.
You did it! Go promote your podcast. All of you are so good.
i'm fangirling on mike quite a bit.
this feels like the breakfast club
You guys are seriously fantastic. Loving this!
im so in love with this dynamic, best idea LOL
matt and patricia >>
when erin said she went to buckle herself in i almost spat out my drink
So funny when you guys talked about social media and relationships, my husband doesn't have social media and I would say it was an adjustment I had to get use to. I FOR SURE over analyzed it, but now that I know him it makes sense.
Please “buckle” yourselves in at the beginning of every episode 😂
First time listening, love these four

Matt was def high for this episode
LOVE THE ANGLES
I Love Mike
I’m ready for the new episode 😂
this took me like 5 days to watch cause i kept falling asleep
i freaking love this podcast

Pandemic years shouldn’t count lol. For me it was definitely NOT a time to meet new people. However I still don’t really meet new people…
@@eb6060 I’m an introvert and got a dog last year who’ve I’ve directed all my love to so I might never meet someone 😂

Tell Matt Happy Birthday, we are birthdays twins 🥳

Here to spice up my work day yeeee 🤌
Liking the pod so far!!
I have subscribed to this channel twice and just came back and had to subscribe a third time now... Weird.
Yes more please I love this
Why is Matt's face so orange? Matching his socks 😂
For example 59:27
matt's voice is so soothing i would listen to him fart into a walky talky
This made me LOL 😂
THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS
Mike appreciation post
ok but i genuinely want the as seen on TV episode Matt suggested 💀
i’m still shook by this whole Iceland thing
I love you guys, but I don't know if having on specific topic each episode is a good idea, because if I'm not interested in the theme, I won't watch 😞 I would rather a conversation type podcast and cover different topics in a single episode
What's the email to ask for advice for the next episode about education?
