Chrissy Odley (2:28)

We have one bite, and then we.

Brian Green (2:30)

Can climb the ladder. So I must have emailed 48.

Chrissy Odley (2:33)

We split the list. It was like you, me and Astrid and we split the list.

Brian Green (2:37)

Yes. And I think one responded. And they were two really nice guys. They were like in Milwaukee or something. I can't even remember the name of the show. And they actually came on our show once. Remember that? We did an episode with those guys.

Chrissy Odley (2:49)

We did.

Brian Green (2:50)

We did. Okay, I don't think we aired it, but we did that. But I think they did. And I'm not sure. Maybe we did. I don't know. Anyway, we did. I can't even remember the name of the podcast. Wish I could. Nice guys. Super nice guys. And so they agreed to do this cross promotion. So Chrissy and I then had to do for a 60 second promoting audio and video about ourselves. And for the life of us, we cannot talk seriously about ourselves. If someone asks us to describe the podcast, it all falls apart. Yeah. And so it's like. So we put together this blooper reel and it must be like 10 minutes long of Chrissy and I just fucking this thing up left and right.

Chrissy Odley (3:26)

I'm here to talk about hemorrhage.

Brian Green (3:29)

Hi, I want to talk to you about your growing body.

Chrissy Odley (3:34)

Do your balls drop?

Brian Green (3:35)

Yeah. Hi, I'm Brian Green. This is Chrissy Odley. And forget about those other two guys.

Chrissy Odley (3:41)

Listen to Hawk Shop on over the commercial break.

Brian Green (3:44)

Oh, we were so terrible. And I think eventually, two months later, we managed to get them the audio and. And then they kept hitting us up and like, hey, you want to do it again? And I was like, not really, actually. I don't. I don't think that worked out for anybody, but okay. They. I actually.

Chrissy Odley (4:01)

Oh, the day. The golden days.

Brian Green (4:03)

I remember recording with them in the old studio. The other bedroom in my house.

Chrissy Odley (4:06)

Yeah, the other bedroom.

Brian Green (4:07)

Yeah, the smaller bedroom in my house. I remember recording with them and we told them that we did billboards in Iowa and they were like, what?

Chrissy Odley (4:15)

You did?

Brian Green (4:15)

Yeah, I did. Oh, my God. The good old days when we didn't take this seriously.

Chrissy Odley (4:23)

Right, right.

Brian Green (4:24)

Well, there, you know, more money, more problems. But we don't. Still don't have the money. No, but we have more problems for some reason. More people owing us money. More problems. Anyway, thanks for joining us today. I am still doing a little bit of recovery from the tear. So as we're recording, this is Thursday, so you're going to hear this tomorrow on Friday. But if you heard yesterday's episode, then you'll know that I got some version, terrible version of food poisoning along with multiple family members in the house. Which made for a very interesting Monday. As the kid. Astrid said that, and I'll share this. Astrid said that when I was very sick in bed in the morning at like 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning, and she started to get sick, like, then she was throwing up, she came in the room and she tried to rouse me to help her. And I just wasn't like there, you know, I was totally out of it. And so she said, okay, this is what I'm going to do. She was saying to herself, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to go on the couch, I'm going to tell the kids, I don't care what you do for the next two hours, just please let mommy rest.

Chrissy Odley (5:26)

Right.

Brian Green (5:26)

And she gave the baby her phone, which is like a big no no in our house, you know, but it's hard to keep the electronics out of the baby's hands. I'm constantly taking something out of her hands because she's grabbing the. Grab an iPad or a phone. But as. And I was like, honey, at that.

Chrissy Odley (5:42)

Moment, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Brian Green (5:43)

Yeah. At that moment, I would have done anything for some peace and quiet. Anything for some peace and quiet, including ignore you. Yeah.

Chrissy Odley (5:50)

Trying to wake me up.

Brian Green (5:55)

Pretend I'm asleep. Pretend I'm asleep. Pretend I'm throwing up. Go in the bathroom, Be performative. God, there was no video of that. That'd be the end of our careers. Well, actually think back on it.

Chrissy Odley (6:12)

I've done that already. We've ended careers already.

Brian Green (6:14)

I did a cross promotion where I talked about my hemorrhoids, which I don't have. So the doctor sends a message to me yesterday. And yesterday I had the first meal in 48 hours with just some rice and a little bit of meat.

Chrissy Odley (6:28)

Yeah, you got to go slow.

Brian Green (6:28)

Yeah, you really do. And it wasn't a ton of food, but I was very hungry at that point, so I ate half. Half an hour later, I'm right back to it. I'm right back feeling so nauseous. Can't stand up. Tired as I like weak tired, like out of breath. And so I thought to myself, jesus, Jones, am I going to have to really go back to the doctor or the hospital? Because now I'm getting a little bit concerned that this has gone on for more than 48 hours.

Chrissy Odley (6:52)

Right?

Brian Green (6:53)

Which is when they say, like, if you have food poisoning, it goes on for more than 48 hours. You should seek some kind of medical attention. So I was like, okay, anyway, doctor calls to check on me. Leaves me a message telling me that I should get this like IV in a packet, you know what I'm saying? Like this liquid iv, something along those lines.

Chrissy Odley (7:11)

Electrolytes.

Brian Green (7:11)

Yeah, that's not what it's called, but. And I don't want to name the brand, but, so I, I got it and I actually, we had a pack of it in the house and I didn't know. We have like this box full of like, generally related medical shit, like dog bones. There's like weird stuff in there. It's like the emergency family box.

Chrissy Odley (7:28)

Old eye drops.

Brian Green (7:29)

Yeah, old eye drops that no longer have any liquid in them. Yes, penicillin from 2017 drawers.

Chrissy Odley (7:35)

Every once in a while I've noticed.

Brian Green (7:37)

Yeah, we have a box and it's supposed to be for like, medical related stuff, but I've noticed it's become kind of a drop all. There's extra batteries that don't work anymore. I'm like, what dumbass put this in there? Probably me.

Chrissy Odley (7:49)

Probably.

Brian Green (7:51)

So I. I went, I thought, oh, I think we have this somewhere. And I did. I found the box of it and now I remember why it's not been used in probably seven years. It's because it's terrible.

Chrissy Odley (8:03)

Oh, it tastes better.

Brian Green (8:04)

Oh, it's terrible, Chrissy. It's terrible. It's like peach flavored, no sugar in it whatsoever. Drop it in 16 ounces of water and then try not to throw up again while you're drinking it. But supposedly it's got, you know, a thousand percent of the electrolytes you need, you know, blah, blah, blah. A thousand percent more than Gatorade and all that stuff. It's really. It's really rough recovering. I think. I think I got it bad. I think I got it really bad.

Chrissy Odley (8:27)

I know. I'm feeling pretty punchy too. Not because I was sick, but just from coming back from Pacific coast time. I know you feel so sorry.

Brian Green (8:38)

I do. I'm really. I have a lot of empathy for where you're. For where you're at. Chrissy. I would have given anything to go to Seattle and Vancouver. Anything to go to Seattle and Vancouver. But it didn't work out this time. Maybe next time it'll work out next summer.

Chrissy Odley (8:53)

That's where we're doing the podcast from, remember?

Brian Green (8:55)

I would love.

Chrissy Odley (8:56)

Agreed.

Brian Green (8:56)

I agree.

Chrissy Odley (8:57)

I think he must have agreed while you were probably a fever dream throw in between throwing up. Yeah, you said, let's do it.

Brian Green (9:05)

I managed to struggle through yesterday, and I just think that that took all the energy out of Me. We had a big interview yesterday. We did, we did. That we now can't talk about. But it's okay. Well, I mean we're going to release the episode we just can't talk about.

Chrissy Odley (9:18)

Just so you know, we actually did get breaking news. We got something first and that's the reason they're not allowing us to now talk about it.

Brian Green (9:25)

We got an A list celebrity to come in here and then he dropped a bomb like a big hey announcement and then said hey, can you hold off on that?

Chrissy Odley (9:38)

We were so excited after the interview.

Brian Green (9:40)

We were so excited.

Chrissy Odley (9:40)

Right around the house. Astrid, put the Instagram reel together.

Brian Green (9:43)

Get the Instagram reel together. We're gonna send this out in the next couple of weeks. We gotta get on this super hot right now. And then two seconds later the agent email. They're lovely people people by the way. And of course we agree to it because who the fuck is going to come here to break information?

Chrissy Odley (9:57)

It just happened to be when Time.

Brian Green (9:58)

Magazine will probably pay you $100,000 for this information. You're not going to come to the commercial break and drop it for free. They probably looked at our Instagram and they're like, I'm not giving these nut Nixon exclusive. Fuck that. Where's Rogan McMahon? Or somebody that's interested. But anyway, stay tuned for that next year. No, it's fine. I bet you I'm making a joke out of it, but it's fine.

Chrissy Odley (10:26)

But it's just pretty funny. It's the ways that the tide turns at the commercial breaks beach.

Brian Green (10:31)

That's what happens when you, when you play with the big dogs. You get balls in your face sometimes. I guess somebody humps your leg. But you know, stay tuned for that nebulous announcement later on, later on down the road. No, we're very excited about this one. And when the time comes, you will know about it because I will make sure that you do. So anyway, today is Friday and happy Friday to you. And I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm so glad tomorrow it's Friday.

Podcast Announcer (11:06)

Me too.

Brian Green (11:07)

We got the kids birthday party this weekend. So we're gonna have a big hubaloo here at the house with a lot of youngins running around in the pool. I made the smart decision to get a lifeguard.

Chrissy Odley (11:17)

I like that.

Brian Green (11:18)

Listen, I'm not gonna around here. I don't want to be liable and I don't want. I don't want anybody in my family to not want to live at this house because of the bad memories. You know what I'm saying, like, I don't know, there's some weird thing that I have where, like, I don't want to stain my house, you know, forever. So I decided to get a lifeguard. We have a pool in the backyard. The kids really wanted to do a pool party. It's an inexpensive way to have a birthday party. God knows we need inexpensive right now. So I said, oh, I agreed to. Last year. They wanted the same thing. I said, no, you're too young. Those. A bunch of, you know, young toddlers in a pool. It's like a nightmare to me. So this year, I said, okay, you're a little bit older now. You know how to keep your head above water, mainly. So. Okay, but let's told Astrid after we agreed to this, I said, let's get a lifeguard. And she was like, a lifeguard? Can you, like, rent a lifeguard? I'm like, I'm sure you can somewhere. So we go to, like, one of those lifeguarding services, websites that, like, you know, farms out lifeguards. And it was like, $150 an hour to hire this. To hire a lifeguard. That's tr. Cpr. Yeah. And I was like, okay, I guess, but don't the kids at the pools. Local community pools, don't they. I was a lifeguard.

Chrissy Odley (12:29)

Training.

Brian Green (12:30)

Yeah, they'd have to take training. I was a lifeguard. I think I made, like, seven dollars an hour.

Chrissy Odley (12:34)

That's correct.

Brian Green (12:34)

That was 1942, but I think I made, like, $7 an hour.

Chrissy Odley (12:38)

Yeah. Our kids were lifeguards, too, and it's.

Brian Green (12:41)

A great way over the summer to get a tan and make money.

Chrissy Odley (12:43)

Exactly.

Brian Green (12:44)

That's it. Yeah. You get adult swim. You get 15 minutes in the pool by yourself. What else could you ask for? So what is it called? Like, all swim or all break something? Adult swim. Yeah, But I've been to pools where it's like adult swim, but the adults can't swim either. Like, everybody out of the pool kind of thing. And then, you know, the kids are all, like, waiting.

Chrissy Odley (13:00)

Oh, right by the. Right by the side.

Brian Green (13:03)

Yeah. They, like, stick a foot in, and the lifeguards. Oh, come on, man. It's almost been 15 minutes. That's what they would do. I remember I had that little megaphone just like this, which really meant that I had to take a. Or something. My friend's coming by with a line of cocaine. I'm gonna be the best lifeguard ever for seven minutes until I need another line of cocaine.

Chrissy Odley (13:42)

Shotgun. A beer.

Brian Green (13:45)

Oh. So I. I said, there's like, we have neighbors. Those neighbors have kids that are like, you know, 18, 17, 18, 19 years old. They have to know somebody.

Chrissy Odley (13:54)

Did you put it on next door?

Brian Green (13:56)

I know, I, I. No, no, no, no, no. I could only imagine the responses I would get from next door.

Chrissy Odley (14:02)

That would have been a good little way to dip your toe.

Brian Green (14:05)

Spotted squirrel stealing nuts. Thanks. Deer on river road. Okay, what do you want me to do with that information? So that's what we did. So we called the neighbors and they quickly said, yes, absolutely, we know a bunch of people who are lifeguards. Let us, let us get you in touch. And we got a more reasonable rate. Fair rate, but a more reasonable rate. And we said, hey, listen, four hours, no breaks. You're in charge, but you get fed. And if you want to, I guess if you want to, you can do those 15 minute, you know, kind of adult swim things. We get the kids out of the pool, take a break, you know, wherever. And then if you want, really want to.

Chrissy Odley (14:44)

You said four hours, no breaks.

Brian Green (14:46)

Oh, four hours. Meaning, like. Yeah, no breaks. Meaning you can take the. Well, not technically no breaks. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can't take an hour off. You can't. You can't go from like 12 to 1 and then come back at 2, you know, take a break.

Chrissy Odley (14:59)

Okay, yeah, so you can actually take a break, but within those hours.

Brian Green (15:03)

Take a break within those hours, but not a break. You can take a break, but not a break. Break. Not a break. Just a break. Not like the commercial break. 700 episodes in. Yeah, but a break, break, break. You know what I'm saying? You get it? I, I get it now.

Chrissy Odley (15:16)

All right.

Brian Green (15:17)

Okay. So that's, that's what I tell. And I'm. And I'm just so happy that I made this decision. It makes me feel so much better about the whole situation. I feel myself free, like I'm out there today. You know, the other thing is people coming over your house. You got to clean the pressure, wash the house. It's a whole thing for like, you know, 12 people and six kids who don't give a shit about whether or not what your house looks like. They just care if the water's warm. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but I do. I was thinking to myself this morning, I'm like, I do feel really relieved. That was a good decision. And now I'm thinking I'm just going to do that every afternoon with my own kids, too. I'm going to get a lifeguard to Stay in post. I'm like, you want to go out to the pool? Knock yourself out.

Chrissy Odley (15:51)

Yeah.

Brian Green (15:51)

Because yesterday, trying to take all those kids to the pool, one parent is impossible.

Chrissy Odley (15:57)

Well, I mean, 30 kids in the pool at once, Chrissy. It's, wow.

Brian Green (16:00)

You know, you want to pool, you want a pool, you want a pool. And then you realize that a pool is like a boat. It's a hole where money gets sunk into. And stress comes every day. Every time I look at that pool, some kind of stress. The chlorine levels are bad. The leaves are on the bottom of the pool. I got to put the pool cleaning robot on. I get. You know, one of my children is floating on the top of the water. I should go get them. And, you know, it's. I was telling you the story yesterday.

Chrissy Odley (16:24)

Yes. About when you were on a call.

Brian Green (16:27)

I was on a call, and I was taking the kids out to the pool, finishing up the call. So we have this deck that sits above the pool, and. And we can close the gate so they can't get anywhere near the pool, and we can close and lock this gate. So I open the gate, and my older kids can generally hold themselves above water. But, you know, one of the younger ones, she is just learning how to swim, and so she needs to stay close to the shallow end of the pool near a wall where she can grab onto. She gets tired or gets scared or whatever. So I am finishing up this call, and I say, okay, kids, sit on the stairs of the pool. Like, sit with your butt outside the pool. Put your feet in the pool. Sit. I'm going to go turn on the filter, and then I'll be back. And so I go. And I go to turn on the filter. I come out, I'm still on the phone with my earbuds in, and this. I wasn't gone 30 seconds. And that daughter, who doesn't yet know how to quite swim but can kind of keep herself above water is in the middle of the fucking pool struggling to keep herself above water. So I literally flipped my earbuds out of my ear and jumped in the pool with my phone in my pocket.

Chrissy Odley (17:27)

You have to.

Brian Green (17:28)

Yeah. And it was like, you know, a whole scary moment. You know, she cried for, like five minutes. And I'm like, it's okay. Listen, these things are going to happen, but this is why you got to listen to Daddy. But you can't be afraid now. You got it. You got to keep doing it. Like, you know, these kind of things are going to happen. It just makes you realize that you have to keep your head above water. You got to keep. Keep treading water. So it's this whole thing. And listen, five years from now, I won't even worry about this. It'll be like, everybody knows how to swim fine, whatever. But it's just like. Like a little bit.

Chrissy Odley (17:52)

No, it is. That is a little unnerving to be responsible for lives.

Brian Green (17:58)

Yes. And when you have a pool, fuck Instagram and Facebook and all that shit because. And TikTok, because when you have a pool, they know you have a pool. And so when they know you have a pool, all they do is serve you up bad stories about what happens in a pool. You know what I'm saying? And it's just terrible. I'm not even going to mention the stories because I don't want to make light of any of it. But it's just like. It's just like terrible story after terrible story, safety tip after safety tip. And it just makes you so fucking paranoid. You're like, oh my God, that happened to them. That can happen to me. Oh my God.

Chrissy Odley (18:27)

So thank God for the lifeguard.

Brian Green (18:28)

Yeah. So if you're out there and you're a lifeguard and you want to make a couple extra bucks, I need somebody from 4 to 6pm every weekday until it gets cold. How do you do that?

Chrissy Odley (18:36)

Which is going to be November or December here in Atlanta.

Brian Green (18:39)

Really? That pool will. Will not be swimmable. Probably sometime in like by Thanksgiving. But I'll stop really like cleaning it every single day probably around Halloween. Because that's like. Then you're. I'm like, fuck it. I don't want to do this anymore.

Chrissy Odley (18:54)

I don't want to do too much.

Brian Green (18:55)

It's too much. I mean, you do your own pool and figure out what goes on. Anybody who has a pool knows that. Anybody has a pool or a boat knows what I'm talking about.

Chrissy Odley (19:04)

Speaking of pools and Halloween, actually, I just this morning read a little tidbit in one of my newsletters about how like. What is it? Pooloween.

Brian Green (19:13)

Pooloween.

Chrissy Odley (19:14)

It's a thing.

Brian Green (19:15)

It's a thing.

Chrissy Odley (19:16)

And where they have different. They're bringing Halloween elements to pool parties.

Brian Green (19:21)

Really?

Chrissy Odley (19:22)

Yes. Like little ghost burgers.

Brian Green (19:24)

Trick or swim or something.

Chrissy Odley (19:26)

Yeah, trick or swim. You could have some, you know, pumpkin and ghosts and things. And I thought, you know what? See, Remember a little while back I was telling you I went. I got early on the house.

Brian Green (19:36)

Yeah. Really early.

Chrissy Odley (19:37)

Well, it's Joe. They mentioned it. They go. Pottery Barn has already got their stuff out. And I Was like, yep, that. That was me. I ordered from Pottery Barn.

Brian Green (19:44)

Oh, my God.

Chrissy Odley (19:45)

So it's a thing. So maybe I should have brought over the skeletons, propped them up out back at the pool.

Brian Green (19:52)

If you don't learn how to swim, that's gonna be you. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, then I got these nudnik friends who are like, just throw them in the pool.

Chrissy Odley (19:59)

No, I've got this friend that's like.

Brian Green (20:02)

His philosophy is they just have to learn to swim on their own. Right. Just let them. They'll figure it out. And I'm like, that is the dumbest thing ever. It is traumatizing. It is not the right way to teach.

Chrissy Odley (20:11)

I mean, listen and trust for whoever's throwing you guys.

Brian Green (20:15)

Yes. It's just crazy. Like, throw them in the pool. They'll learn how to swim. No, they won't. Yeah, that's not true. That's not true. Now, to be fair to his children, they do know how to swim. So I guess they figured it out. And I'm not saying that, like, there's. I'm not saying that, like, around the edges, there's not something valid there. Like, you do have to let them figure it out. You can't be on top of them every minute. Right. And I was with my first child on top of that kid. Like, I was holding him every moment. Like, anytime he tried to get in, anywhere near danger in the pool, I was like, putting him back on the wall. But you have to let him kind of figure it out. But to leave a child alone, just to figure it out and let them swim, that's not something we naturally know how to do. I don't know if you know, but we lost the gills a long time ago.

Podcast Announcer (20:56)

Yeah.

Chrissy Odley (20:57)

You have to at least have a couple lessons. My God.

Brian Green (20:59)

You have to learn how to float. Right. And then I see them doing these babies with the little rings around their head, and I'm like, it's cute, but is that really what we want to do with our kids? To have little bobbing little baby heads all over my pool? No. When those kids turn old enough, I'm going to turn this into a wave pool. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get one of those shoes.

Chrissy Odley (21:17)

Oh, a good wave pool. You need a good slide, too.

Brian Green (21:19)

I do need a slide, but that's another liability.

Chrissy Odley (21:22)

True.

Brian Green (21:22)

When we first bought this house, it had, like, a. This pool was from, like, the 1960s.

Chrissy Odley (21:26)

Yeah.

Brian Green (21:27)

It's big, it's deep, and it's, like, totally rectangle. There's no personality about the pool whatsoever. But it had one of those diving boards, like a rusty old diving board that sat like three and a half, four feet above the water. We're talking like, wow, you know, you saw those guys in like Mankinis back in the 60s that would like do the pretty dive, you know, like woo, swan dive off, you know, and that kind of vibe going on to it. And I, the first thing I told the pool guy when we got this house, I was like, take that thing off there that looks like a nightmare waiting to happen. He's like, yeah, almost nobody puts diving boards on their, on their pools anymore. Yeah, I can understand why. He's like, they're just too much. Like there's too many things that can go wrong. And I thought to myself, yeah, well now sometimes I'm like, I wish I had the diving. I wish I had that diving board. Not for the kids, but for me. All right, so today is Friday. You know what that means? That means that we are going to review a video. Normally on Fridays. That's what we do. It's been a while since we've checked in with a guy named Adam the Liar. What we call Adam the Liar. Adam Lyons. He is a multifaceted, multi entrepreneur with many career moves throughout his tenure on YouTube. And he's been a pickup artist, he's been a social media expert, he's been an entrepreneur expert. I think he had a podcast where he was commenting on Hollywood and entertainment. He was like a TMZ guy there for a minute. And he's going back to his roots and telling us more about women and how we should not be afraid of them. I don't know if you guys remember this, but I have shared that there was a gentleman named Paul in my early life. Like in my 19, 20 years old during the Olympics, Paul hired me to be a painter and then to sell T shirts at the Olympics, of which we sold none because they were those color changing T shirts. Like when they got wet, they would change colors. We had one version and 65 different sizes and we didn't sell one T shirt. I feel like Paul, but Paul spoke like this. He was like, hey, Brian, how you doing today? And I'd be like, yeah, I'm good. And he'd be like, I think you're still at the age where you're scared of pussy. Which by the way, I think Paul looking back on it may have been like autistic or something a little bit.

Chrissy Odley (23:37)

But looking back on wisdom, he, he.

Brian Green (23:39)

He envisioned himself a Coxman you know, he envisioned himself a ladies man, but even at my age, I could tell that that may have been a stretch a little bit. Like, getting laid once is not a ladies man. But he would have. He would say some things that I look back on now and I go, that's fucking prophetic, man. You really nailed it. And he would say, you're still at the age where you're scared of pussy. And I always thought to myself, yeah, yeah, Paul, whatever. But now I realize, even though it was crassly said he was right, I really was and still am to this day, scared sometimes of the female form because it's so incredible, I don't know what to do with it. And complicated, quite frankly.

Chrissy Odley (24:22)

There's a lot going on.

Brian Green (24:23)

Yes. So Paul. I mean, Paul was saying that way back when. Now Adam has got his own version. It's what, like, essentially why you're still scared of women? So when we get back from this break, we're gonna listen to that. What do you think?

Chrissy Odley (24:39)

I think it sounds good.

Brian Green (24:40)

Okay, I'm in my awkward transition.

Chrissy Odley (24:42)

I'm Chrissy. This is Brian.

Brian Green (24:43)

This is Brian. And this is why you're scared of pussy.

Chrissy Odley (24:47)

We'll be back.

Brian Green (24:48)

We'll be back.

Bye.

Brian Green (25:48)

One of our favorite characters on the Internet is Adam the Liar, also known as Adam Lyons. And he's multifaceted. He's really had a lot of different iterations.

Chrissy Odley (25:57)

Yeah, he really was a social. We watched him be like a social media market how we met him because.

Brian Green (26:02)

We thought he was a social media marketing expert. And then the next thing we know, he's a Pickup artist. And then the next thing we know, he's an expert on polygamy. And then he has a girlfriend, a baby, a woman that's pregnant. He has, like, he went through all these iterations. And what I've noticed about Adam is he's been mostly quiet on the Internet for about four or five months in general. And so I was curious, where did Adam go? What did he do? And what I found was a video where he's talking about, don't let yourself be scared of women. Don't let this be the reason you're scared of women. And so I thought, oh, that's an interesting video. Like, clearly he's. He's saying something where we might actually get some information knowledge, which he's never dropped. The guy is full of bluster and bullshit. I'm telling you right now. He's probably not going to tell us anything we need to know. But I'm going to give him a shot because, you know, in my heart, I have a, like a. A love hate relationship with some of these guys on the Internet. Of course I hate what they stand for, I hate what they talk about. I hate the way that they belittle women and generally try and make picking people up a scientific art form that it's not. There's no such thing as a scientific art form. You done like. But I love him because he's giving us content for the show. So there you go.

Chrissy Odley (27:15)

And it is Summerween.

Brian Green (27:16)

It is Summerween.

Chrissy Odley (27:17)

Here at the commercial, it wasn't puluing. It's Summerween Summer. We just look at it on Insta.

Brian Green (27:22)

That feels like a, I don't know, Weans Farewell Tour or something. Summerween the Summer Of Sponsored by 99x Summerween. All right, so let's get into it. Without further ado, I was trolling on.

Chrissy Odley (27:37)

The Internet as you do.

Brian Green (27:38)

As I do like to do sometimes. Most times.

Chrissy Odley (27:41)

Every night.

Brian Green (27:42)

Yeah. Astrid has access. You know, Astrid controls the Instagram, but I have access to our Instagram so I can switch accounts. And she's like, Brian, when I go to the search function on our Instagram account, she's like, it is highly disturbing. It is either girls in bikinis or some grandpa spouting nonsense about how the birds are birds aren't real. And I was like, hey, babe, it's the cost of doing business.

Chrissy Odley (28:12)

That's right.

Brian Green (28:12)

She's like, why the bikinis, though? Yeah. And I'm like, I don't know. They keep serving them up to me and I look at them. And then they keep serving me more. I don't know. Ah, you can take the Brian out of the fight, but you can't take the fight out of the fight.

Chrissy Odley (28:26)

Well, let's give an inspiring quote. You know, they have to have those quotes with them.

Brian Green (28:30)

Yes. God forbid. Yes.

Chrissy Odley (28:34)

The thong.

Brian Green (28:35)

There is no acceptance without acceptance. Here's my nipple.

Chrissy Odley (28:42)

Exactly.

Brian Green (28:43)

Oh, there's this person on the Internet, this person on Instagram, that I've talked about a lot, actually, and. And I think in general, lovely human being, but it's just been funny to watch over the last couple of years how she went from, like, the anti influencer. She hated everything that the influencers did. You know, tit pics and, you know, showing their ass and half naked and all this and putting the inspirational quotes below to being that influencer. I mean, there's not really much influence there, but I just see the change, the progression, and I'm like, she got sucked in. She did. She got sucked in. And I really appreciated her stance on the whole thing. And now I'm like, well, no one bites the dust. That's why we're all fucked.

Chrissy Odley (29:23)

Kids, to live your life, you have.

Brian Green (29:24)

To live your life. Vote. That's all I got to say. All right, here we go. Adam the Lion. Adam the liar. Adam the Lion.

Chrissy Odley (29:32)

Adam Lyon.

Brian Green (29:33)

Yeah. Adam the Lion. It's. It's the newest Disney movie from Pixar and Disney. Adam the Lion. Watch as he chases pussy and puts 15 girls in his rotation.

Adam Lyons (29:47)

I genuinely believed that I was scared of approaching women like many men around the world. In fact, I remember staring at incredibly beautiful women, thinking that I could never talk to them. Seeing these gorgeous models in ads and videos on the Internet and thinking they're the kind of women that guys like me could never get into a relationship with. And I genuinely believed. I was scared of talking to them because. Because I knew that nothing was going to happen, but it was.

Chrissy Odley (30:13)

I was genuinely scared of talking to the women in my ads.

Brian Green (30:16)

That's right. That's right. The women that I post all over my Instagram. That's why I started a social media company. You, too can be successful if you pretend to be successful.

Adam Lyons (30:29)

Because I was scared of approaching. That is just what I told myself. Because at the time, I like how.

Brian Green (30:35)

Adam is, like, in a room, in a light, in, like, his house. And there's books, spec.

Chrissy Odley (30:39)

There's, like, degrees.

Brian Green (30:40)

Yeah. Like he's read them or something. And he's got six different degrees that are just blurred enough.

Chrissy Odley (30:44)

Right.

Brian Green (30:44)

You can't Actually see what they are. The United Federation of Pickup Artists. Gold stamp, gold stand, frame 79.99 plus 90 cents shipping and handling. You two could be certified by the United States Association.

Chrissy Odley (31:02)

What does he have back there? It almost looks like too there. He's got like gold records.

Brian Green (31:06)

Yeah.

Chrissy Odley (31:07)

Or something.

Brian Green (31:08)

I don't know. Chrissy.

Chrissy Odley (31:09)

Royal posters.

Brian Green (31:10)

Those aren't Emmys, that's for sure. It's awards from his own company to himself. I awarded myself with employee of the year.

Adam Lyons (31:21)

I started getting into dating. I was a janitor. I liked painting Dungeons and Dragons miniatures.

Brian Green (31:26)

What?

Adam Lyons (31:27)

I liked martial arts.

Brian Green (31:28)

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Back up, back up, back up. You were a janitor?

Chrissy Odley (31:33)

No. Oh my God. We never heard that. I didn't realize he was a janitor when he first started.

Brian Green (31:39)

Hey, mad props.

Chrissy Odley (31:39)

And then he got into martial arts.

Brian Green (31:41)

Yeah. I was sick of wrestling with those five year old kids in the kindergarten class in that school I was in. They made fun of me. I got terribly bullied. So I went to martial arts and learned how to kick their asses.

Chrissy Odley (31:57)

I like Dungeons and Dragons. That's how you always painting Dungeons and Dragons, figuring okay. And now he's. Now he's got a walk.

Brian Green (32:04)

He's got a walk.

Chrissy Odley (32:04)

I like cooking food.

Brian Green (32:05)

Walk with Yan. Do you remember that show Walk with Jan? You don't?

Chrissy Odley (32:09)

No. But I do love cooking shows.

Brian Green (32:11)

Yeah. Okay. I won't even get into it. It's not even worth talking about. But. But it was a funny show. Yeah. So. Okay. All right.

Chrissy Odley (32:19)

Adam's more renaissance man.

Brian Green (32:21)

He is. Adam's more than just tittles and bits. Tittles and bits. I'm a grumphoot and reading really dumb.

Adam Lyons (32:32)

Things on the Internet. Yep. Just like was my time and I believed I was scared of approaching and I'd actually allowed people to get it into my head. Like these dating forums back in the day. They told me I have approach anxiety. But after 18 years of teaching dating, now I've come to learn.

Brian Green (32:51)

After 18 years of teaching dating, I finally learned how to do it myself.

Chrissy Odley (32:57)

That's what those degrees are in the background. It's a degree in teaching dating.

Brian Green (33:01)

Teaching dating. That's right. From the International association of Poise. The I, A P U A do.

Adam Lyons (33:12)

Not actually have approach anxiety. We're not scared of approaching beautiful women. We're scared of what to do next. We're scared that once a woman actually gets to know you that then they're going to reject you. And so what I did was I didn't approach because I'D already told myself I was gonna fail.

Brian Green (33:31)

Okay, valid bit of information here. I actually agree with this. I think that a lot of people, especially young, younger, I say younger folks. If people in their, like, you know, late teens, 20s, they get scared of dating because they're scared of being vulnerable and rejection. But that's a, that's it's gonna happen. Like, there's no success without failure for sure. So I agree with him on this. Okay, Adam, I like where you're going with this. You might win me over yet. Adam, please. No, no. I've done way too far.

Adam Lyons (34:00)

Gone woman didn't reject me. I rejected myself. And the thing that.

Brian Green (34:06)

No penis. I'm not going to whack you off. Today.

Adam Lyons (34:11)

Was holding me back in my head was my career because I was a janitor and my hobbies. And I genuinely believed that, you know.

Brian Green (34:18)

Can you stop saying the word genuinely, please? Okay, we get it. You're being. Trying to be sincere.

Adam Lyons (34:25)

Think Dungeons and Dragons miniatures. You know, cooking stupid meals for my friends. Martial arts. Being a janitor.

Chrissy Odley (34:32)

I genuinely, my friends.

Brian Green (34:35)

I genuinely believe that these stupid meals wouldn't get me anywhere because no woman likes when a man cooks.

Chrissy Odley (34:41)

Exactly.

Brian Green (34:42)

Come on, dude. Really? And by the way, no one gives a that you're a jan. I mean, there are lots of women that would give a that you're a janitor, but there are plenty of women that wouldn't give a shit.

Chrissy Odley (34:51)

Exactly.

Brian Green (34:52)

They would like that you're gainfully employed.

Chrissy Odley (34:53)

Exactly. It's a new job.

Brian Green (34:56)

Ask Astrid. You think janitor is bad? Try being the host of the commercial break.

Chrissy Odley (35:05)

And also he's like putting himself down for being in martial arts. What's wrong with that?

Brian Green (35:09)

Yeah, being able to defend yourself and get in shape. What? Yeah, cooking.

Chrissy Odley (35:14)

Getting.

Brian Green (35:15)

Cooking. Getting.

Chrissy Odley (35:16)

Knowing how to clean.

Brian Green (35:17)

Gainfully employed. I was too afraid that women would be like, like, don't want it, don't need it. No, Simon. Carl says no, you're a loser for all the following reasons. You're sincere and self aware and have employment and cook wonderful meals. Yeah. Take women out on proper dates and know how to speak on the phone. They are going to hate you, Adam.

Adam Lyons (35:48)

Those things held me back. And it turns out that those things actually ended up being the thing that made me.

Chrissy Odley (35:54)

Well, good. Okay.

Brian Green (35:56)

All right. Good for you.

Adam Lyons (35:57)

And you know, when I first started learning dating, we're going back like 18 years now.

Brian Green (36:03)

How old are you? 18 years.

Chrissy Odley (36:07)

Now we're going back.

Brian Green (36:09)

We're going back 18 years. Way back to 2007.

Adam Lyons (36:18)

I decided to give up all my hobbies. I decided I wouldn't tell anyone I was a janitor. I stopped painting miniatures and doing photography. I literally.

Brian Green (36:27)

You did all the things, you quit all the things that women would find attractive. Yeah. By the way, I think just having.

Chrissy Odley (36:34)

Canceled everything and just focused on dating because there's also a thing at the bottom. What is that? It's words.

Brian Green (36:42)

Is it captions? Yeah, captions. Canceled everything and just focus on dating. I cut out all the hobbies and brought in all the hoes. Don't worry about it. I'm your man. 18 years. That's right. I learned this one simple trick. Gun fingers. And now I'm getting laid more than ever. Pew, pew, pew, pew.

Adam Lyons (37:10)

Sold everything and just focused on dating. And I got some results. Like I definitely got some dates, but it wasn't amazing.

Brian Green (37:18)

Now probably not for them either. Right. I don't want to put words in their mouth.

Chrissy Odley (37:22)

Quit my job, quit cooking, quit martial arts. Just focused on dating.

Brian Green (37:27)

That's right. By the way, now you just have.

Chrissy Odley (37:29)

To give up everything and focus on.

Brian Green (37:30)

Yeah, sometimes you just need to focus on dating. I guess. I quit my job, I focused on dating. That's unbelievable. I wish I had that luxury. By the way, don't you think that like in today's day and age, just the fact that he has a hobby is like an attractive quality? Like something outside of scrolling on the Internet, right?

Chrissy Odley (37:53)

No, to me, martial arts, photography, cooking, cleaning, I mean, those are all attractive things.

Brian Green (37:57)

This is like he kind of slyly pat himself on the back. Yeah, I was a really well rounded guy.

Adam Lyons (38:03)

You know my dating journey. You'll know that within the first year of me studying dating.

Brian Green (38:08)

Studying dating. Where are these guys going for this? What? What is going on? You don't have to study dating. Go out there, ask a girl out. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Whatever.

Chrissy Odley (38:19)

You don't have to clear your whole schedule for a year.

Brian Green (38:21)

Yeah, you have to get a master's degree in dating to go to a bar. I mean, come on, it's not that hard. Have your aunt Tilda set you up or whatever. That always works.

Adam Lyons (38:34)

Ended up becoming the number one dating coach in Europe.

Brian Green (38:36)

Oh, here we go. I knew it was too good to be true. The number one dating coach in Europe by the international association of pickup Artists, the Iowa.

Adam Lyons (38:48)

And a year later was the number one dating coach in the world.

Brian Green (38:51)

By who?

Chrissy Odley (38:52)

My God. Those are gold records.

Brian Green (38:55)

Those are gold records.

Chrissy Odley (38:56)

He's pulling out framed gold records that have his name. Adam Lyons, number one dating Coach, what is that?

Brian Green (39:09)

Membership into the team something club. Over 1 million clicks. This is click funnels. Click funnels. I don't want to. I'll go down this rabbit hole someday. Actually, this reminds me, years ago, I put this on my list of things to talk about. Click funnels is some Internet marketing, get rich, quick scheme that some people do correctly and really make a lot of money. And most people just teach because they never could do it correctly and figure out how to make money. It's like a total, in some cases, scam. Right. And so. And I do believe there's some validity to it, but this click funnels thing is like, whatever. Anyway, it's a bunch of people patting themselves on the back for getting clicks. Right. How does that make you the number one dating coach in the world that you had 1 million clicks? Because I've clicked on you at least 10,000 times. And it's not because I wanted to date you or go to your courses. I mean, that's like. That's. That's a stretch. Holding gold records in front of a screen and saying you're the number one dating coach in the world is a little disingenuous.

Chrissy Odley (40:10)

In Europe.

Brian Green (40:10)

In Europe.

Chrissy Odley (40:11)

First in Europe, then he took the world on.

Brian Green (40:13)

That's right. And by the way, that says 2016. 2017. Okay, cool. At that.

Adam Lyons (40:22)

For three years in a row. And the only reason I didn't get the fourth year onwards is because I stopped entering the competition. I mean, after you win three times, it's like, what's the point? Right?

Brian Green (40:30)

Right after you enter the conference, I couldn't afford the entry fee. Oh, my God, Adam, you are so full of yourself, dude. Wow. I wish we could talk like that. We wouldn't have 10 minutes of bloopers if we had half the confidence that he did. You know what I'm saying? Sorry, coach.

Adam Lyons (40:52)

I'm the guy that dating coaches will call when they have problems in their dating life and they need.

Chrissy Odley (40:57)

Oh, you're top, top.

Brian Green (40:58)

Oh, you're the top. Top.

Chrissy Odley (40:59)

Top level.

Brian Green (41:00)

You're the top.

Chrissy Odley (41:01)

He's the one that dating coaches call when they're having trouble with their dating.

Brian Green (41:05)

Hey, girl, it's me. And I've been preaching on a full dick for a long time. You've called the right person. I'm the number one dating coach in the world according to my click. Not my dicks, my clicks. That's awesome. So what I gotta do, I, like, drop a bag of cash on someone's mom's door or something like that. What's how do you. How do you get these. Pussy bag. All you gotta do is follow my 312 step program. Turn the lights down low, make sure the mood music is going before you leave the house. Bus them to your house after 12 to 15 drinks, and keep your fingers crossed that they're able to say yes at the end of the night. I'm Adam Lyons. Peace out. That's really shitty advice. I like being a preacher much better. It just kind of came to me. I didn't even have to ask for it, you know what I'm saying? All right, peace out. I got some errands to run or something.

Chrissy Odley (42:01)

We haven't heard from Carl.

Brian Green (42:03)

Oh, Carl's been asleep for a minute. Oh, Carl's. I think he's got a new church or something.

Chrissy Odley (42:07)

Oh, yeah.

Brian Green (42:08)

Check up on him in a minute.

Chrissy Odley (42:09)

Yep.

Adam Lyons (42:10)

And as the years went by, people asked me how comes I got so good so fast compared to everybody else?

Brian Green (42:17)

And I realized I took a stance that I always take with my masturbation. And that is the quicker, the better. Just jab, jab, jab. Run, run, run. Jim, Jim, Jim.

Adam Lyons (42:27)

I had a massive advantage, an advantage that I do want to share with you. You see most.

Brian Green (42:33)

So please go to this link right here. Clickfunnels.com AdamLions Women believe they have to.

Adam Lyons (42:40)

Choose between a wealthy guy, a guy who's handy, who can fix things, an artist and a guy that can protect her. But if she can meet a guy that can do all of that, then she considers you the full package, which to a woman is incredibly rare. And I learned rapidly that the hobbies and the activities I'd stopped doing were actually a secret weapon that when I come, combined it with my knowledge of dating, catapulted me ahead of almost everybody else.

Chrissy Odley (43:13)

Into the stratosphere.

Brian Green (43:16)

Adam, number one pickup artist in the world, catapulted. Catapulted you into what? Internet infamy. Does that mean you're the number one dating coach in the world because you talk about it on the Internet? No, it doesn't mean you're the number one dater in the world. You just happen to be good at talking, dude. And so now I imagine what he does. He decides that all those things he canceled really could be an advantage to him. So he breaks out the old pictures and posts them on his Internet through his social media company.

Chrissy Odley (43:50)

He says he's saying something, that he has a protector.

Brian Green (43:53)

He says he's a protector. So let's get back to it right after this break.

Chrissy Odley (43:56)

We'll be back he says he has. Oh, he is a protector.

Brian Green (43:59)

Because I am a protector. More to follow. We'll be back.

Chrissy Odley (45:00)

The witch.

Brian Green (45:00)

Okay, quantum witch. I'm a protector and an artist. How do you become the biggest dating coach in the world? Throw in some clicks and a couple of boosted Instagram ads and clickfunnels award. I don't know, clickfunnels. Anything. Anything to do with pickup artistry, but. Okay, we're back with Adam here. He's sharing. He's sharing more about how he found his weaknesses were actually his strengths.

Chrissy Odley (45:30)

Wait, and just to give somebody a visual here, he's showing like a stock video thing of some guy, scary looking.

Brian Green (45:40)

Like the Oklahoma Bombers, sitting in a.

Chrissy Odley (45:43)

Room with a window with a weird chin.

Brian Green (45:47)

Yeah, it looks like Abe Lincoln or something. I don't know what's going on there. It's like a shadow. You can't see it because it's backlit, so you can't see the guy's face, but he's like sitting on the edge of a bed with his head down in a dark room with like moonlight coming in or something. What a weird image. Yeah, for sure.

Adam Lyons (46:06)

I am a protector because I know martial arts and I can fight.

Brian Green (46:10)

I am. It's like Gollum. That guy looks like Gollum. It's precious.

Adam Lyons (46:15)

My provider because I understand how wealth works. I am a handyman because I was a janitor for many, many years. I am an artist, and believe it or not, when I turn my cooking skills from just making basic meals into actually the tips and tricks that make five star cuisine.

Brian Green (46:30)

This guy in this stock video also has the WWF wrestling belt on his window. What is going on? What is going on?

Chrissy Odley (46:41)

I have no idea where this video is. I mean, part. He's also in a very tiny yeah.

Brian Green (46:47)

He's in a bed. It's weird. Like, he's talking about all these great things he's doing, and then there's, like, a guy that's about to literally jump out of the window. He's in a. He's now laying on the bed. And when he laid on the bed, what he revealed is on the windowsill that is backlit. It's like a wrestling.

Chrissy Odley (47:03)

Huge belt with gold.

Brian Green (47:05)

Yeah. So weird.

Adam Lyons (47:08)

I'm actually a private gourmet chef.

Brian Green (47:10)

Oh, really? I can whip you up some fiddles and diddles in no time. What do you want? Pigs in a poke? I got it for you.

Chrissy Odley (47:19)

Gourmet.

Brian Green (47:20)

Yes. What do you want? Pork pudding. I got it. Your favorite pie is on the way.

Adam Lyons (47:25)

And these are skills that most men don't have nowadays. Now, I've taught over 300,000 men around the world, and I've got the belt.

Brian Green (47:36)

I know. I can't get over it. Why did he put that stock image in there? It's so stupid.

Adam Lyons (47:42)

Private group of students. And one of my students, Andy, I was talking to him just yesterday, and I was sharing this with him, and he said to me, dude, the thing that his girlfriend said made her choose him was the moment he replaced the tire on her car. Can you imagine learning tons of dating skills and having your girlfriend be like, the one thing you did when I knew you were the one was when you could replace the tire of my car.

Brian Green (48:04)

I call bullshit. I call bullshit.

Podcast Announcer (48:09)

Yeah.

Chrissy Odley (48:10)

It could take a lot more than that.

Brian Green (48:12)

Yeah. Was it like a romantic moment where you guys like, your first kiss on the side of 85? You're changing your tire. I mean, come on. I think that that could be an attractive quality that someone knows how to do things right. That you maybe is not your strong suit in. In any person, a man or a woman, whatever. Like Astrid. She knows how to do everything. And I know how to do this. I'm not even good at that, but this sounds a little hokey to me.

Chrissy Odley (48:38)

Yeah.

Adam Lyons (48:38)

And I know that myself because I'm married to a Russian woman. And the very first time I met her mom in Russia, they got a flat tire. And it was the middle of night in the middle of nowhere in Russia. And I got out and I changed the tire, and her mom was just like, oh, my God, this is a great guy.

Brian Green (48:54)

Wait, the first time you met your wife, you were in a car in the middle of Russia, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, broken down on the side of the road. What kind of shenanigans are going on there. Where's the story behind that? That's more interesting than any of this. Tell me how you met your wife. In a car in the middle of Russia and broken down on the side of the road. May Adam was thinking some kind of journey on the side of the road. Like, oh, I see a woman in need. I'll use my jiu jitsu to change her tire. Wa bam. Wa bam.

Chrissy Odley (49:25)

Here's a five course drill.

Brian Green (49:26)

Yes. I've just gotta double sidekick this tire off and we'll be on our way in nowhere. No time. I'm gonna do some grappling and then I'll get that tire on.

Adam Lyons (49:37)

It's something that women really appreciate, but it's a skill that many men have completely lost nowadays. Like, they don't have because you can.

Chrissy Odley (49:45)

Call someone and I'm actually really.

Brian Green (49:46)

Yes, you can. That's like, come on. Aaa. I mean, really? Most men have called. Have lost that skill because we've all lost the skills. I used to be able to navigate anywhere in the metro Atlanta area without a map.

Chrissy Odley (50:02)

Yes.

Brian Green (50:03)

And I knew the street name. Yes. Now I don't even know the name of my own street. It's written on my refrigerator because my kids need to learn it, but I'm not even sure they really do. That's the only reason I know my street name. I swear to God about this.

Adam Lyons (50:18)

We're talking about this a lot this week and I'm curious, when it comes to you, are there any of those skills that you don't have that you think maybe you should?

Brian Green (50:25)

I'm going to pause now and let you answer. It's a choose your own adventure. Adam, the lions video.

Adam Lyons (50:31)

Have, like, are you confident in a fight? Like if a fight was to break out?

Chrissy Odley (50:35)

Confident in a fight?

Brian Green (50:36)

No. No, I'm not. What is that? I'm not confident in fight because I don't like to fight people. I'm not interested in that. I do everything to avoid fighting. Everything. I mean, honestly, I run away. That's what I do.

Adam Lyons (50:52)

You know, I had to de escalate the situation so it doesn't turn to a fight, which is what most people with really good martial arts skills know how to do.

Brian Green (50:59)

Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Just had to make sure you pat yourself on the back there. Yeah. I didn't mean it. Sorry, bro. I can kill you five ways with one hand, but sorry, bro. Peace offering. Go grab a beer.

Adam Lyons (51:18)

Do you understand how to make your money work for you like something? Even when I was a janitor, I knew how to get my money to use that money to generate extra wealth. Is that a skill set that you have?

Brian Green (51:29)

No. So far, I'm two for two.

Chrissy Odley (51:31)

Yeah.

Adam Lyons (51:32)

Are you an artist? Do you paint? Do you do photography? Do you have any of those kind of no.

Brian Green (51:37)

3 for three skills?

Adam Lyons (51:39)

And are you handy? Are you a handyman?

Brian Green (51:41)

Oh, no, no, no, no. I. Brian. Nope, not my strong suit. So I'm five for five on this. I wonder why Astrid's still with me. I think she's contractually obligated.

Adam Lyons (51:54)

Can you fix things if things get broken? Let me know in the comments. Which one of these skills you don't have and would like to get because this is something we're talking about.

Brian Green (52:03)

Sign you up on my martial arts course. I'm the number one martial artist in the world.

Chrissy Odley (52:08)

Says chef.

Brian Green (52:10)

Yes. Number one chef, number one handyman, number one janitor. You need to clean that puke out of a fifth grade classroom. I got you covered. That weird orange dust that they put on there. Yeah.

Adam Lyons (52:26)

Recently. And actually we're organizing a big five day event where we're going to be giving people those skills.

Chrissy Odley (52:33)

There you go.

Adam Lyons (52:33)

Train them to be able to do all those skills. The funny thing is, you're gonna train.

Chrissy Odley (52:38)

Somebody how to change a tire at this conference.

Brian Green (52:39)

You're gonna train someone how to do martial arts, be a gourmet cook, be a janitor, a handyman, and a fast talker in five days.

Chrissy Odley (52:47)

And paint.

Brian Green (52:48)

And paint. I'm up for it, bro. Cool. Cool. One day on each skill.

Adam Lyons (52:55)

I know what it's like to have.

Brian Green (52:57)

Probably gonna have everybody over his house and he's gonna be like, all right, fix that window woman.

Adam Lyons (53:05)

Not call you back and wonder why I didn't always look like this. I didn't always act this confident. You know, there's a period of time where I couldn't even talk on camera. And I developed those skills.

Brian Green (53:17)

Can we go back to those times?

Adam Lyons (53:19)

Dating. But even when I first started getting good at dating, like I said, I got some skills, but a woman would still have to choose between me or some other guy. And the other guy often won.

Brian Green (53:30)

And why. Why are you setting it up like that? I don't understand. I don't think I've ever.

Chrissy Odley (53:34)

The whole thing makes no sense.

Brian Green (53:36)

I think once or twice in my life I've been in a situation where a girl that I was attracted to or loosely dating was dating someone else or had someone else on her mind. And of course I lost. But that's okay. I mean, that's okay. That's what happened. I have none of the five skills, but that's okay. Like, it's just the way the world works. It. Yeah, it was a little painful when it happened, but it's like, oh, what am I going to do? I'm gonna, like, throw a brick through the guy's car. You know what I'm saying?

Chrissy Odley (53:58)

I mean, start the fight.

Brian Green (54:00)

Why is it set up like that? Like it's a competition? It doesn't have to be a competition.

Adam Lyons (54:04)

It's really frustrating when you look at, like, a piece of paper of two guys written down, and you know the woman's gonna choose one of the two. And.

Brian Green (54:15)

Before we break up, can you just do me a favor? I'd like a list of the pros and cons about Steve. So on paper, I could take a.

Chrissy Odley (54:24)

Look, because I'm pretty confident.

Brian Green (54:26)

I'm pretty confident. I got a lot of pros on paper. I'm pretty good on paper, and I want to know if Steve's really matching up. I think it's his dick. Well, yeah, he wins that one.

Adam Lyons (54:36)

He chooses the other guy.

Brian Green (54:38)

How many orgasms is he giving you? Oh, yeah, he wins that one, too.

Adam Lyons (54:42)

Don't know why. And I'm telling you, nine times out of 10, it's because the other guy is. Is basically capable of doing skills that you just aren't. Whether that she feels safe around him, you know, feeling like he can protect her or that she's learning about money from him or that he can fix things, you know, or. Or maybe he's artistic and he's autistic.

Chrissy Odley (55:02)

He was saying artistic, but that cap.

Brian Green (55:05)

The caption said autistic. Jesus Christ. Adam Checker.

Chrissy Odley (55:09)

I know.

Brian Green (55:10)

Check your captions.

Adam Lyons (55:12)

Capable of taking beautiful pictures of her. Whatever it is, it's usually those things that make the difference. So it's not good to just.

Chrissy Odley (55:18)

I'm capable of taking pictures.

Brian Green (55:19)

Can you take beautiful pictures of me? Okay, listen, I brought you both here today because I just can't decide. I've got this Nikon 3000. What I want you to do is we're gonna go into the woods, and I want you to take beautiful pictures of me, and I'm gonna make a decision at the end. What is this, Project Runway? What are we doing? What the are you talking about?

Adam Lyons (55:47)

Oh, game or have whiz, as they call it nowadays. You actually have to be someone that has these other skills. And so this is something that's.

Brian Green (55:57)

I've seen some people who use the word Riz, and I don't know.

Chrissy Odley (56:02)

I Don't think Adam's using it right.

Brian Green (56:04)

No.

Adam Lyons (56:05)

Example. I want you to imagine two guys. One of them is, like, the son of a rich guy. Maybe he makes like, 100 grand a year, but it's like daddy's money, you know? And he spends all his days kind of like just hanging out in his apartment, not really doing anything.

Chrissy Odley (56:18)

He makes 100 grand a year, but it's.

Brian Green (56:20)

But he doesn't do anything. Yeah, so he doesn't make it. He's given it, first of all. Second of all, I don't know if this video is from 2007, but $100,000 doesn't do what it used to. You're not living some lavish lifestyle with a hundred thousand dollars.

Adam Lyons (56:37)

And the other guy, he works at, like, a fast food restaurant. The guy that works at a fast food restaurant, he's got a small business on the side where, you know, he does handyman work, does basic electrical stuff and plumbing stuff. And he's investing all that money into.

Brian Green (56:51)

When he's not flipping burgers. The. Why doesn't he just become an electrician? I think it pays better. I mean, no knock on the fast food guy, like, but if you have all those skills. Oh, Adam.

Adam Lyons (57:08)

Flipping properties, which is something he really wants to get into.

Brian Green (57:11)

Yeah. I've seen so many people working in fast food flipping properties. Adam. The average cost of a house is $500,000.

Chrissy Odley (57:22)

And doing electrical work on the side.

Brian Green (57:23)

Yes. And flipping properties.

Adam Lyons (57:27)

And he's only having the job at the moment while he's. He's, you know, building up that business and making it grow. When it comes to these two guys, which do you really think women want? Do they want the layabout that's sitting in his apartment every day? That dad.

Brian Green (57:40)

Yes, yes.

Adam Lyons (57:43)

He pays for, you know, waiting for his dad to die. So he's hoping he gets the inheritance. With his dad being like, if you don't get a real job, you're not going to get that inheritance. Right. Is it that guy?

Brian Green (57:52)

Wow, you got, like, a really creative brain. You're just, like, going off. You got this deep story about these two characters on paper.

Adam Lyons (58:00)

Or is it the guy that's actually making something for himself and he's actually, you know, he's.

Brian Green (58:03)

He's physically strong because he's making something for himself. He's making French fries. I mean, like, come on, let's get real, Adam. Daddy's got a bunch of money. The guy does nothing. He's driving a Jaguar around. If even he doesn't know how to change a Tire. He can pay to have someone change his tire. Or the guy who's got seven jobs, who has no time to do anything else. This is why your course is bullshit. Because it's the guy who has seven jobs who really needs your. Who really needs, like some breathing room and maybe some guidance. But you're now going to tell them some fanny fantasy fairy tale about how the most. The hottest girl in the room is going to pick them. That's not going to happen. This is Earth, you know, this is Earth where we live with other human beings able.

Adam Lyons (58:52)

Because he fixes things and he's, you know, out there working with his hands and he works for full time. We typically like to assume that the person who works in fast food isn't attractive, but actually, if that guy has those skills, he's, you know, does MMA at the weekend and he's building up his business.

Brian Green (59:08)

Jesus. He's flipping houses. He's working full time at the burger shop. He's doing electrical and construction on the side. He's MMA on the weekend. Where does a girl fit into this schedule? Where does he sleep? When does he sleep?

Adam Lyons (59:21)

The more attractive guy. And it's because it's not about money. It's about, are you someone that has these five exact characteristics that women want? You know, like, there are women online all the time being like, you know, a guy that can cook, a guy who's good at art, a guy who can defend you, a guy who knows how to make.

Brian Green (59:41)

Where are these women on the Internet? Is that AI responding to comments on your website? Because I don't know.

Adam Lyons (59:50)

And a guy who makes me laugh. You know, pick two. You can't have all five. But the reality is you can. I'm definitely someone that has all those skill sets.

Chrissy Odley (60:00)

Of course, of course.

Brian Green (60:01)

Bad yourself on the back, Adam.

Adam Lyons (60:03)

My students are all people that have.

Chrissy Odley (60:06)

Those that are old people.

Brian Green (60:07)

The reality, I know you gotta really run through your script here, bud, because your captioning is getting it 100% wrong. So so far it said autistic and old, then it just said old people instead of all. Instead of all people is.

Adam Lyons (60:21)

I think the reason that guys come to learn dating from me is because there's tons of information online, right? There's free podcasts about dating, there's YouTube videos. I mean, there's books you can learn about dating. But if you've learned and you've read those things and you've got, you know, the knowledge, but it isn't translating into results, it's probably because there's something Missing something else that you need to get. Because if you do the same thing.

Brian Green (60:46)

And that's why I'm inviting you to my five day get pussy quick retreat. You're gonna come in as Beavis and leave as MacGyver. You're gonna know how to make a bubble gum into a bomb. When I'm done with you on over.

Adam Lyons (61:04)

Again and you are not results you want. In my mind, it's time to do something completely different. And that's why I focus on giving mental actual skills. Like real skills, real life applicable skills that are the kind of skills that women want in a guy. And the best thing about it is the minute you stop gaining theory and you start actually being good at, you know, taking photographs or getting good at this.

Brian Green (61:29)

His very first video with social media was all about taking good photographs too. That you need somebody, you need a friend who can come over and take photographs of you that's good at photographs. Well, we learned absolutely nothing from Adam. I have none of those skills. And I managed to grab a beautiful woman who is amazing. I mean just amazing.

Chrissy Odley (61:49)

Oh my God, she is amazing. But I mean he's just. God, he's taking these poor men down.

Brian Green (61:53)

I know.

Chrissy Odley (61:54)

Rabbit holes.

Brian Green (61:55)

Yeah. The reason why he's talking to the person who has full time, 7 full time jobs is because that's who he knows will pay for his course, right? And that's, that's who he's sucking dry. Because I can guarantee, guarantee you can go to five days of whatever, it ain't gonna make you more attractive. You have to be yourself. Somebody will find you attractive, be yourself and run in like circles. And what I mean by that is if you like painting Dungeons and Dragons figurines, go to Dungeons and Dragons conferences, hang out in online spaces and be real. Somebody somewhere will find you attractive. That's it, that's what you do. Don't listen to this. Listen to Brian just fixed all your problems in two seconds. Okay? I'm actually the number one pickup artist in the world.

Chrissy Odley (62:37)

Oh my God. I mean, how is he? There's no way he's gonna be able to, to teach these skills at this five day course.

Brian Green (62:44)

Chrissy, please. I mean he's just trying to get a thousand dollars out of you or whatever. More information to follow. I, I'll, I'll figure out how much it costs. I will, I promise.
