Full Episode
Something that feels so criminal to not know is the fact that if you want to be more attractive, nerd out. Be a nerd. Be a geek. Be passionate about a topic. Please, please be interesting. Be interested. I feel like we are losing something that is so important to the backbone of society, which is being a nerd because nerds, they give us something to live for.
All of the best artists in the world were nerds. They were, you need a nerd out. You need to nerd out. I feel very passionately about this because I think that we have been basically neutered in modern day society. We have been kind of put into one algorithm. Everyone knows the same memes. Everyone is running all over the place, blue in the face, looking like Sonic. And it's funny and it's great.
And, you know, it's awesome that when you go on Spotify wrapped, everyone's, you know, oh, you got, oh, you got him as your, you know, top artist or them as their top artist. That's awesome. You know, we've all become the same. And I think in so many ways, it's great. We can relate to each other so easily, but man, Can we switch the language? Like, can we switch the language, bro?

I think that being a nerd has been made like this bad thing But honestly, being a nerd is very attractive, let me tell you right now. Someone who is passionate about something, oh my god, you're getting a slowed and reverbed oh my god for that one. Seriously.
I feel like one of the best things you can do is be a well-rounded person, and that comes from being interested in a lot of different things. And also just kind of, you know, rolling with what life blows at you. Like this wind, dude, what is going on? In beautiful, sunny Austin, Texas during the sunset here. Man. I think a lot of us got bullied out of being a nerd very early on.
We learned that being a nerd is not cool when you're trying to conform with the rest of your peers. Of course, it's never going to be cool right away. Nothing is cool until it clicks. I have a really good friend of mine who I admired all throughout my childhood and into adulthood. He is a yo-yoer. Shouts out to you, Jonathan, if you're listening.
But he was a yo-yoer and he would make videos about yo-yoing. He went to national competitions for yo-yoing. And I remember when he was getting started in middle school with his yo-yoing journey.
