This guy points out the exact reason I became a teacher as a male. People emasculate me all the time for it, and I'm going to be making pretty much no money after rent, bills, and food. But being there for kids without a dad and being a good male role model in their lives is worth all of that in my opinion.

Guest: "Social media tells young people they're absolute failures for not owning luxury items" Ad break: "Consider buying a sauna" Satire is meaningless in our era. It's like living in Robocop.

“Child of an immigrant mother who lived and died a secretary… but everyday she told me I was wonderful, and that stuck with me” it really only takes one person

I don’t hate those who are economically, romantically and financially better off than me. I hate those who are better off than me and are working hard to make my frustrating life more miserable.

This is a national conversation that’s loooong overdue

as we’re watching a podcast talking about how young men are broke, depressed, and poor it cuts to a commercial selling $10,000 ice baths that can help us with our depression 🤣 I can’t stop laughing

My friend had a relevant PhD, a gold medal at the informatics Olympiad, the university medal from a reputable university, and Google didn’t give him an interview. He had to get someone who worked at Google to refer him and only then did he get an interview and the job…

With the dumpster-fire that is the intersection between the internet, podcasts, and male identity, I am extremely grateful that I stumbled upon this video. What a great nuanced and thoughtful conversation. Thank you, Rich. Thank you, Scott.

I don't think I've listened to a more candid, stone cold truth filled conversation around this subject. This episode needs to be shown in schools or something.

This guy is hitting the nail on the head with so many topics. I’m 34, navy veteran, college graduate. I really felt I was struggling so much and had every type of vice you can imagine up until my thirties. Now I cleaned myself up, I have a decent job and very little debt but it still always feels like there’s that cloud hanging over me.

13:02 "I can prove to all of us that 90% of our son are not in the top 10%" that is such a well thought out sentence.

Scott has quickly become one of my favorite authors and social critique writers out there. I love his no nonsense approach. There has been a huge gap and need for true and ruthless social commentary since the passing of comedians George Carlin and Bill Hicks. In this time of crises in America, we need strong voices like Scott that just tell it like it is no matter how uncomfortable we all get hearing it. This stuff must be said as awareness is the first step to solving any big problems.

It's so rare to come across individuals as accomplished as Prof. G that are willing to talk about their flaws, share their failures and spread the wisdom in the hard lessons learned throughout their life and that they do it genuinely for the betterment of society. Typically their egos get in the way. I appreciate him and his message so much. I try to distill as much as I can to my benefit raising two young boys in this challenging environment.

Every man should listen to this regardless of age. I deeply appreciated this conversation. We need more of this.

You know it's never mentioned but reading, protects men. There are so many great stories with fabulous masculine men. It really does give aspiration.

As a 30 year old man finally starting to get it together, I agree. Lack of a strong male father-figure/mentor is detrimental to our growth. Reminds me of a song lyric: “be kind and keep a smile. keep your head up and try to find a friend or a child and encourage their life”

Scott is a champion of not just young men but of young women. Everyone has a stake in this conversation.

Thank you, gentlemen. As a divorced and childless Gen X man, I see my purpose on this planet is to help the younger people navigate this adventure and survive - hopefully thrive as well. That is why I am proud to teach at a community college. I've had many careers but most of them were selfish pursuits that were soulless. I've learned exponentially more from tragedies and failures than any successes. It has given me wisdom that has no value unless I share it. The young people who show up to learn at a community college need adults like us more than ever. For many of my students, I am one of the only truly gritty men in their lives. I don't just talk about service, I live it. I sacrifice daily to serve broke, young adults to the best of my ability. I take my roll very seriously and the thoughts you both share help me find clarity and to not feel so alone. Your honest heartfelt insights gave me a good boost on this sunny spring Saturday in 2024.

This isn’t an interview, its two guys just sharing experiences and i feel so wholesome and have much more confidence and courage to advance in life
