350k Q&A - Dating Advice, Jordan Peterson & Internal Fears - #450

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to this show. My guest today is me. I hit 350,000 subscribers on YouTube, which is insane. Technically, I also hit 300,000, but then we hit 350 before I had time to record anything. So here we are. To celebrate, I asked for questions and got more than a thousand responses across all platforms. So this is 90 minutes of me trying to answer as many as possible. There are legitimately some world-class questions in here, which I wish that I'd come up with on one of my episodes, including some really tough ones about my goals, fears and motivations. I expect to learn whether I think calling everyone cult members is a clever idea, how a beef-fueled Jordan Peterson annihilated me at Topgolf, my biggest internal challenges, why I haven't gone vegan, my best advice for incels, whether I believe in no-fap superpowers, why I don't use airpods to podcast with, my thoughts on pegging and much more. Obviously, well, not obviously at all. I have no words for the way that the growth's been so far in 2022 Thank you to everyone that's been here for a long time. And if you're new, then welcome. I'm not slowing down. The remainder of this year is going to continue with me trying to find the most interesting people that I can from the dark corners of the internet and the top of the mountains of well-known and fascinating humans. So thank you for the support and thank you for being here to enjoy them along with me. In other news, this episode is brought to you by the Six Minute Diary.

Plunge's revolutionary cold plunge technology uses powerful cooling, filtration and sanitation to give you cold, clean water whenever you want it, making it far superior to an ice bath or a chest freezer. People have been repurposing chest freezers filling them up with water and then getting into them. That is going to be manky water after a while. Also, if you're into cold exposure, which you should be because it's amazing for longevity and your immune system and the way that you feel and your adrenals and all that stuff, doing it in a cold shower is nothing like actually properly being submerged in the water. There is nowhere near enough contact between your skin and whatever is making it cold to actually properly affect you. The plunge is safe for indoor and outdoor use and installation is literally you plug it in and you're ready to go. You fill the plunge up with a hose, turn it on. You can set your temperature all the way down to pretty much freezing. So no matter how much of a seasoned cold exposure person you are, this is going to get spicy. It is the best and most convenient way to do it. I'm looking forward to getting one installed out here in Austin as well. And you can get $150 off everything sitewide by going to thecoldplunge.com, using the code MW150 at checkout. That's thecoldplunge.com and MW150 for $150 off.

You can protect your browsing online and get access to the entire world's Netflix library for less than the price of a cup of coffee per month. You do not want to have hackers and websites tracking your data, knowing what you're looking at, trying to steal your passwords and split testing you on prices for products that you are already buying. And every website is doing this. Plus, your internet service provider is tracking your data and then selling it to companies that can target you with ads. All of that is fixed by using a VPN and all that you need to do is download it, press a couple of buttons and you are away. But most importantly, it means that you can use Netflix wherever you want, whichever territory you want to be in. I'm out here in America and it means that I've got access to tons more Marvel series and movies than anybody else does. And if you're in America, you can check out what we've got going on over in the UK perhaps or some French Netflix. It means that if you need to use HBO Max or Disney Plus while you're traveling, that you also have access to that and you can have it across unlimited devices.
