I wonder what the percentage of success rate in marriage is going to be in about 5 years.

I was watching YouTube the other day and a clip popped up that I didn't watch, but it was Lex Friedman had some guy on and the guy was explaining how Instagram is essentially an infidelity accelerating machine.

Because if you think of like how many, I mean I know guys who are married and their wife's page is all their wife sticking their titties out and sticking their butt out.

I mean, it's literally the whole page is like these girls, and I'm not talking about girls who are like professional fitness influencers that are just showing how good their body is.

I'm just talking about just regular gals.

Like if you're a professional fitness person and you know, maybe you train people or something like that, yeah, of course you should show your body.

You're literally advertising, by look, I did this to me, I can help you do this to you,

So, you know They're getting bombed on the DMS like constantly and If something goes wrong in the marriage, they have like probably so many options like pro athletes or DM and who knows, you know,

God, same with the guys to how easily those relationships are just available.

What I was talking about that last night with the dating apps, like when someone in 1 of those bottom of the barrel shows, 1 of the questions was Hinge, which was a dating app.

And I was like, how much are you gonna be invested in trying to figure somebody out if you've got like 100 people that you swiped on that are also ready to go.

And you could just like leave the states, sucks, like text this person, like, hey, something just came up, I just got out of a meeting,

And then you go meet that person, like, all right, we're trying again.

And then if you're really that person that's like it's got to be

addictive like everything else on social media is addictive Yeah,

so and addicted to just meeting people and just swiping and they all look hot like let's go

I mean marriage is such a tough crazy thing.

Do you know a lot of people that have successful marriages?

I know people that have successful marriages.

Chris Rock always had a great bit about that.

He goes he goes and that's just the people that had the How many cowards That's

and suffer Especially when they have kids and they're just staying together being miserable with kids And And they don't even know those kids are sitting there looking at how they interact with each other.

a bitterness between them, and then they'll also they'll identify future relationships like that

You know that's like a scary thing about people

Like if the mother and father are abusive to each other, verbally abusive to each other, then they'll probably pattern that as they get older.

And They just think you're supposed to like fight and then make up fight and then make up and then people get caught up in that Cycle of fighting and makeup because it feels good to make up, you know, and the makeup sex is amazing But the fighting part

They insult each other and break each other down.

Yeah, we're so lucky because I've been with my girl almost 13 years now and you've been with Danny for almost

But I bet being like the star you are now trying to find a chick that I mean, the guys that are stars trying to find actual love.

I think it's probably easier if you're a guy to find a good girl, then you're a girl to find a good guy well, yeah, I would think so because I mean to be sexist and to talk in sexist terms women think of a man as a provider like so you want a guy who can keep it together right you want a guy who you're gonna have children you're gonna want a guy who's gonna be able to keep it together financially be stable be disciplined do all things It's gonna do not fall apart not become a drug addict Not fucking do something really stupid and lose his job and not like just give up because of that and then everybody gets on welfare Like you have to like count on someone unless you want to work yourself So there's this like evolutionary aspect and I think it's hard like if you're a guy What do you want out of a woman?

All the physical things, but you want her to

Yeah, like no guy cares You do not care at all like I would

not care at all like if I was a single guy And

I met a gal and she was like a bartender.

to be with or enjoy you spending time with you then who cares?

I was talking with what that Travis Kelsey guy though I'm gonna gotta do something big time.

That's a good point there at the hat thought about that.

I think it's a tougher road for a woman to find a good man that's what I think

because I don't know that many good men I know a lot of cool women

the all overall number of men that I know like how many of them are going for it yeah I'm lucky I know a lot of cool people.

of cool people, but just like general folks, like how many of these general folks are keeping it together?


Speaker 0: The Joe Rogan experience.

Speaker 1: I wonder what the percentage of success rate in marriage is going to be in about 5 years.

Speaker 2: That's a really good question because

Speaker 3: I was watching YouTube the other day and a clip popped up that I didn't watch, but it was Lex Friedman had some guy on and the guy was explaining how Instagram is essentially an infidelity accelerating machine. Because if you think of like how many, I mean I know guys who are married and their wife's page is all their wife sticking their titties out and sticking their butt out. I mean, it's literally the whole page is like these girls, and I'm not talking about girls who are like professional fitness influencers that are just showing how good their body is. I'm just talking about just regular gals. Like if you're a professional fitness person and you know, maybe you train people or something like that, yeah, of course you should show your body.

That's what everybody wants. You're literally advertising, by look, I did this to me, I can help you do this to you,

Speaker 2: but some of them are just

Speaker 3: just ass and titties and like

Speaker 0: do you what do you like? My feet look it's like

Speaker 3: and like they're married, right? So, you know They're getting bombed on the DMS like constantly and If something goes wrong in the marriage, they have like probably so many options like pro athletes or DM and who knows, you know,

Speaker 1: God, same with the guys to how easily those relationships are just available.

And you could just like leave the states, sucks, like text this person, like, hey, something just came up, I just got out of a meeting,

Speaker 2: do you wanna go have a late drink?

Speaker 3: And then you go meet that person, like, all right, we're trying again. And then if you're really that person that's like it's got to be

Speaker 2: addictive like everything else on social media is addictive Yeah,

Speaker 3: so and addicted to just meeting people and just swiping and they all look hot like let's go

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's dangerous. I mean marriage is such a tough crazy thing. Do you know a lot of people that have successful marriages?

Speaker 3: I know people that have successful marriages. I wouldn't say I know a lot. I think, look, what is the divorce rate? We know that.

Speaker 0: Like 40 something percent?

Speaker 2: I think it's higher. I think

Speaker 3: the national divorce rate is close to

Speaker 0: 50%.

Speaker 2: Chris Rock always had a great bit about that.

Speaker 3: He goes he goes and that's just the people that had the How many cowards That's

Speaker 0: the day

Speaker 1: and suffer Especially when they have kids and they're just staying together being miserable with kids And And they don't even know those kids are sitting there looking at how they interact with each other. It's just affecting

Speaker 0: them They just feel the interactions. It's not genuine. Yeah, just there for the kids like fuck

Speaker 2: Yeah, if they feel like

Speaker 3: a bitterness between them, and then they'll also they'll identify future relationships like that

Speaker 2: You know that's like a scary thing about people

Speaker 3: who grow up in like abusive households. Like if the mother and father are abusive to each other, verbally abusive to each other, then they'll probably pattern that as they get older. And They just think you're supposed to like fight and then make up fight and then make up and then people get caught up in that Cycle of fighting and makeup because it feels good to make up, you know, and the makeup sex is amazing But the fighting part

Speaker 2: it's just like people get brutal. They insult each other and break each other down. It's like.

Speaker 1: Yeah, we're so lucky because I've been with my girl almost 13 years now and you've been with Danny for almost

Speaker 0: 10. Yeah.

Speaker 1: But I bet being like the star you are now trying to find a chick that I mean, the guys that are stars trying to find actual love.

Speaker 0: Yeah, it'd be tough.

Speaker 3: It's possible. I think it's probably easier if you're a guy to find a good girl, then you're a girl to find a good guy well, yeah, I would think so because I mean to be sexist and to talk in sexist terms women think of a man as a provider like so you want a guy who can keep it together right you want a guy who you're gonna have children you're gonna want a guy who's gonna be able to keep it together financially be stable be disciplined do all things It's gonna do not fall apart not become a drug addict Not fucking do something really stupid and lose his job and not like just give up because of that and then everybody gets on welfare Like you have to like count on someone unless you want to work yourself So there's this like evolutionary aspect and I think it's hard like if you're a guy What do you want out of a woman?

Speaker 2: I want her to be nice

Speaker 3: All the physical things, but you want her to

Speaker 2: be a Good person a nice person. I don't need him to be successful. Yeah, like no guy cares You do not care at all like I would

Speaker 3: not care at all like if I was a single guy And

Speaker 2: I met a gal and she was like a bartender. I did 1 like

Speaker 0: Yeah, it's a good point.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean businesses like no 1 cares.

Speaker 0: No 1

Speaker 2: cares like are

Speaker 3: you nice? Are you

Speaker 1: Yeah, what

Speaker 3: do you do you make drinks? Well?

Speaker 0: I was talking with what that Travis Kelsey guy though I'm gonna gotta do something big time. That's a good point there at the hat thought about that.

Speaker 3: because I don't know that many good men I know a lot of cool women
