EP#11 | Life Lessons with Clint, Sam & Jake

[@pTs42]

In all honesty, The Corridor Cast is the only podcast I find myself consistently coming back to watch/ listen to. Always something interesting to hear about!

[@liam_itsnotimportant28]

same here!

[@CrzyMan_Personal]

It entertains, it educates, and it inspires. Yup, checks all the right boxes for winning content!

I've got to say Clint's story, and especially Sam's and Jake's reflections on it really hit home. Two and a half years ago a car took me off my motorcycle and left me a paraplegic. I've had a lot of time to reflect on what happened. I've been able to identify the MULTIPLE choice points that lead up to the incident where things could have gone differently, but didn't. And I honestly believe that if I didn't have the people around me that I do, I probably wouldn't have survived. Very touching guys.

[@pollutance]

Glad your still with us brother!

[@guillaumelaflamme9987]

Honestly I think Clint pulled some SOLID arguments when they were talking about the unrealistic expectations of reality when growing up.

[@awensmusings]

Great to see part of the crew as guests on the podcast. It would be awesome if you guys could get Captain Disillusion on at some point in time.

[@NathanCarterVids]

Watching Wren dork out with CD would be awesome!

[@oguzhanozgenc7843]

dude. would be amazing. I hope they see this and agree on it.

[@hanank3574]

I definitely understood what Clint was saying about the news, religion, politics, and his confusion. That part was very relatable for me. This episode of the podcast was great (just like all the other ones).

[@dalilbaby4238]

Node video, Corridor Crew video, AND a podcast episode all in one day?! Amazing day

[@kaylo_8905]

This has intercepted my daily vine compilation. This is a lovely podcast I love all these people.

[@crumblesilkskin]

Haha it's already been 2years when it shutdown still good as ever and better than tiktok

[@kaylo_8905]

@@crumblesilkskin you are very correct and right my friend

[@daedalus7585]

i like how natural this podcast feels. Like how they just talk not question

[@shakeyshapeshifter]

I'd love a Clint focused podcast, so interesting to listen to

[@rasmus9311]

Wish this was more of clint focused episode, or is it coming?

[@myfirstdeathray1584]

Yeah we should have "The Day and Life in the Shoes of Clint the Enigma" episode :D

[@BaldMancTwat]

Ep #29, Clint basically explains his childhood and career aspirations as a kid.

[@imsodamnalonewithoutchyou4303]

Is it not?!?

[@Joshling96]

Really touching story Clint. I was tearing up not gonna lie

[@Ninja9191]

Awesome, more *crew* casts please! 'Preciate ya.

[@brittoaugustus4060]

wow, that was an amazing episode

[@emuliusv]

Yes! This is the best one I've listened to so far.

[@stackocakes]

You CAN choose where in the army you want to be, but it depends on the results of your aptitude test. My friend waited 3 months to get into school for what he does now and he chose that path.

[@imsodamnalonewithoutchyou4303]

THANK YOU, SO MUCH!! All of This info... Is EXTREMELY helpful!!

[@Evanator404]

This has been one of my favorite episodes.

[@Maikigai]

This is one of the most real discussions/conversations I’ve ever heard. Absolutely marvelous. I really enjoyed listening to Clint (I’m also from GA and much the same background as him). By the way, you guys were discussing the idea of a one-world-order and the “mark of the beast.” Not sure if you were aware but there you have it.

[@clintonjones5561]

So glad you enjoyed it Mikey! And yeah man. Mark of the beast. Scary stuff.

[@Maikigai]

Clinton Jones Definitely. I wonder how that would work out though in countries with little to no technological advancement.

[@imjust_a]

The mark of the beast is exactly what came to mind when they were talking about the cybernetic implants and requiring them in order to be a fully functioning member of society. I'd personally be strongly opposed. Also, as a computer science major, I can say that there's plenty of real dangers to cybernetic implants that people don't seem to consider. For instance, hackers getting access to it, using exploits to short it and kill people or take control of someone's body/mind. Jake was saying "...So long as there's a way to turn it off," but when we can't even guarantee that our phones aren't being tapped by Apple, Samsung, or our own governments even when turned off (Fun fact: the government can listen in on your phone even when it's powered down unless you take the battery out), how do we guarantee that a cybernetic implant that interfaces with the human brain can't be tapped into the same way?

[@Empty12345]

Deep stuff here, good podcast

[@CrzyMan_Personal]

I'm not intrinsically against ads. They are incredibly important to society. I'm against the invasive and secretive tacticts that companies have been using to curate those ads. It has gotten to the point that I actively ignore ads. I downloaded a web browser that blocks ads everywhere and prevents ad agencies like Facebook, Amazon, and Google from fingerprinting me. I'll listen to your audible plug, but I'll skip everything else.

[@salottin]

This was just too awesome and reflective. Thanks!

[@surge2388]

I'm 16 and I still do all that stuff... I love my life.

[@cameronvallee1478]

as someone who served in the military i find the beginning of this podcast very funny lol you guys are great i love this channel

[@GelatinousKube]

I enjoy these podcasts a lot and I am going to throw an idea. Since Sam is also a fan of Dungeons and Dragon, you can try to invite Matt Mercer and Critical role to your podcast. They are also in LA.

[@corridorcast]

I'm a big critter, and I worked with Marisha back in the day on a short. Corridor had Matt do VO on the Assassin's Creed video. So any/all of CR, and especially Matt, are definitely on the list! -Jarrett

[@atmisguile]

Yesssss

[@atmisguile]

My two favorite things on youtube are combining!!

[@levelsofpiano]

44:30 It's easy to ascend our need for validation if we stop consuming praise. If you actually believe it when people say "you're awesome," you'll believe it when people say "you suck." If you don't want to be at the mercy of someone else's opinion, you must stop hearing the good AND the bad. Only then will your opinion of yourself matter over anyone else's. This discussion is good. Here's a few more hypotheses on this subject for your consideration: 1. Social media hasn't changed us. Social media has exposed us for the people we truly are. We are shining a light on the shadows, going through things that need to be exposed (ex. Me Too) 2. Not everyone's opinion is valid, but we can learn to respect everyone's freedom to have any opinion. The trap here is if we judge the unpopular opinion. That will only make you vulnerable to the judgement of others. What you put out is what you get back. How hard you put out, is how hard you get back. Simple physics. 3. Just because drama attracts attention and makes money, it doesn't mean it will lead to happiness. It just indicates what most people like to consume for energy. 4. The business model of the news / media outlets is to create content that the masses want to consume. If the masses derive energy from consuming hate, the news will continue to disasters and shocking news as newsworthy because that content pays the bills. The news will put out more positive news if the masses want to start consuming positivity. 4. Hate is louder because when you're in pain it's what you do - you complain. We can better understand this if we have empathy for the hater, in the way one has empathy for an angry dog with a swollen tooth. You're not yourself when you're hungry or angry. It's the same thing. We weren't born to hate. 5. Hate is currently more popular among the masses. Most of Earth's level of consciousness derive energy from negativity (conflict, revenge give most people energy ex. movies like Pulp Fiction) 6. There have been worse things than hate and an expression of negativity. If you live in a war-ridden country, the feeling of hopelessness and indifference pales in comparison to the feeling of rising up, rioting, and shutting down a corrupt government (ex. Slavery and fear dominated Medieval times. We call it the Dark Ages for a reason). 7. In the future, war will be as unacceptable as we currently view slavery in North America. Peace will be as important as our regard for our freedoms. 8. With the rise of the internet and better living conditions, we are learning from each other at a faster rate than ever. Some of us are better off, some of us worse off. Judgement is louder at scale, but equally met with a growing movement of self-awareness and respect (ex. Gary Vaynerchuk, Levels of Energy by Frederick Dodson). 9. Most of us are transitioning from negativity into positivity. Earth's level of consciousness has risen because of the internet. With this shift, we will see new ideas and our capability to responsibly use technology like "cybernetic implants." 10. There has not been a better time in this century for most people in North America to be alive and do what you want to do, especially if you're reading this comment. Pro tip I've learned: it's easy to ascend our need for validation if we stop consuming praise. If you can't let go of the need for praise, you'll always internalize the negative. Everyone decides whether or not they'd like to ascend or descend on their level of consciousness. We can do our part to help our fellow human ascend by spreading the word. What you put out is what you get back. Karma baby ;)

[@AragornEspartan]

That was beautiful, thanks for sharing it

[@levelsofpiano]

@@AragornEspartan bless you you're a real one

[@STRYKERTANK]

Im so glad they found spencers photos lmao

[@ElectroVenik90]

First, shout out to Jake for that great WW1 analogy) Regarding information, extreme opinions and conflict: that comes not from the modern media's accessability to anyone, but from Internet giving you EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. Clint is absolutely right, people don't want to be contradicted, ever. Google search engine knows it. So basically it always confirms that your opinion is right, that it is shared by other people, etc. It's ultimate confirmation bias. For example: imagine you were dissatisfied with SW The Last Jedi. Modern search algorithms are amazing at judging what you want to see on the Internet, and you don't want to see people praising the Last Jedi and explaining that it was actually a great film and insinuating that you are a chauvenistic insecure nerd who don't owns SW (no offence meant to anyone, just hyperbolating to make a point). You don't want to see that information, so Google won't show it to you after it gets that data. And that (lack of alternative opinions readily available to you) would reinforce your belief that TLJ was a bad film whether it is true or not. And that mechanism works for all opinions and beliefs, even the crazy ones. Internet only gives you what you search for. Previously, if you got crazy, you could only rely on the voices in your head telling you that you are right. Now you can rely on thousands and millions of equally crazy people all over the world telling you you're right. And crazy ususally aren't the most tolerant of people.

[@jordanparkour3084]

Oh my god I remember seeing Spencer in a cast during some of the video across your channels. I would never have guessed it was related to motorcycles XD

[@kaimar3158]

great episode

[@VincentG991]

That story was flipping insane.

[@robertvantine2810]

Jake: Disney movies are unrealistic Also Jake: "...love is an open door..." LMAO

[@Tamalogy]

“Owlways” “owweighs”

[@cdmassey987]

Its really funny the starting story about Clint and the recruiter sounds very similar to my experience with talking with a recruiter at the end of high school.

[@joemiskowitz2669]

That was my childhood too, Jake. My buddies and I would run around the rural neighborhood with our airsoft guns and pretend we were soldiers.

[@milleniumfreak1438]

you gotta bring the son to the podcast dudes

[@7hat9uy]

You guys talking about the possibility of ads coming up if we were to have a chip in our brain reminded me of the movie Branded. Really obscure, and a bit more fantastical than what you guys brought up, but I thought I'd give it a mention.

[@4jayco]

Thank you for clarifying that about health care for all the people who don't understand that Jake

[@Tamalogy]

Clint’s experience with that recruiter is so accurate! 👏👏 NOT A GOOD CHOICE FAM

[@lessalazar9068]

Actually, depending on your score on the ASVAB test, you _can_ choose what you want to do. But the military does choose *_where_* you get stationed.

[@Jamie-eb2gp]

My first serious gf had massive unrealistic expectations surrounding relationships due to being so involved in k dramas. So I understand where sam and jake are coming from

[@DanielRut]

I am a junior in high school right now. It seems like all the juniors, seniors and some teachers agree that each time a new class come to the high school it is worse and worse. This shift seems to be around the coming forth of social media being present with 5-8th graders. It seems like everyone that is a freshman feels the need to have a girlfriend (yes even the complete nerds) I believe this is just caused by the fantasy of everyone that is cool is in a relationship.

[@markassbrownie8133]

wont matter cause in the next 20 years all the freshmen will be having sex with virtual girlfriends they custom create themselves in hyper realistic vr and wont want to have any real girlfriends at all. dark times are ahead of us

[@Q_Channel1]

Sad to see Jake low key talking down to Clint by taking a position of explaining everything to him as opposed to discussing things as a peer. Would have liked to hear Clint talk more.

[@WaJeNn]

Give me a podcast with Christian in it then we’ll talk

[@MrPerezOP]

Glad you found the pictures of Spencer!

[@jsdpatters473]

23:26 Totally agree with sam, I got the worst time the year before high school. I didn't even get a phone until highschool

[@taylorlbritton]

Clint: Im not sure if I am gonna get a brain chip cause it seems like an episode of Black Mirror also Clint: The government should provide all the chips for "free" through a universal healthcare system

[@armoredmax99]

I, really enjoyed this podcast, and as someone who is a part of the younger age right now, i have to say, i think social media and all of that was very useful in middle school because, i now don't really care about bullying, and i am able to share my opinion with out fear.

[@efryo]

That story. Was WILD.

[@FINGamer]

About politics, i think americans should come look finnish system, parliament. We have 3 goverment parties that has majority and there is 8 opposition. All can vote and sometimes even inside the government parties there is the fight what is correct way. 2 party system is you are either with us or against. Cannot be healthy.

[@salottin]

Agreed

[@nobody-ye9rx]

i hope they're doing well on other podcast apps, because these are solid

[@nawdawg4300]

Couldn't agree more with Clint and social media. With all the photo editing that's been going on for years, it creates a really un-healthy self-image for not only those who look at edited photos, but also for those who feel inadequate enough to need to edit their own photos. That plus all the like whoring and attention-seeking just makes social media a really toxic and fake place to live your life through.

[@nevets66s]

Not Clint Focused enough. Interesting topics, but felt they weren't elaborated upon enough.

[@imsodamnalonewithoutchyou4303]

Precisely... How did this topic, become the topic of so many discussions, anyway???

[@jordanparkour3084]

Loving the Akira top. 2019 will be a savage year!

[@CalpolMeister]

Thanks Sam, very cool

[@Vogreos]

55:35

[@highlandoutsider]

I'd say on the social media topic, in my opinion it's all to do with that ease at which it's possible to interact with a large amount of people without coming across someone with a different view, in the past each person had a relatively small range of communication so they'd struggle to find people to back them up, now all the idiots can band together, they have a better ability to force their ideas on others.

[@AppaYY2024]

That Akira T-shirt looks dope Sam.

[@pixelstudio8510]

Nice guys, susprised there are not so many views

[@DruyiiGaming]

For the people wanting to come back to the podcasts to share a specific part with someone, it might be handy to have some basic timestamps for the topics touched on in each episode.

[@prestonowens4594]

Honestly putting a microchip in my brain to let me do more stuff would be great, I’ve kinda dreamed of that for a while and based a school project on it too. There are probably a lot of downsides to it but hey, I’m willing to try it out once it’s been tested and ready.

[@jedimasteryoda9541]

BURNIE BURNS!! I’ve commented on all the podcasts. Please feature him!

[@Empty12345]

They should bring Kyle here AKA the Fps Russia guy, hes doing podcasts nowadays lol

[@BCMSi]

My first thought on the chips conversation is not ads haha I worry more how reliance on a chip of that sort would effect people. Learning languages, new skills, math, etc etc is very good for brain health. If you take away the need to really learn and memorize information I could see there being some very serious unintended consequences for both physical and mental health

[@sethrowgo3934]

I'm scared as it would be fulfilling a biblical prophecy, the mark of the beast.

Wait, who randomly showed up in Clint’s story? I didn’t get the name.

[@AlgerLapitan]

Would LOVE TO see Freddiew on the podcast

[@DarthAlex12]

its not about the video, but you should switch more often the camera perspektive so we can see the other faces and reactions

[@spmil999]

No no no. It's not a movie. We don't need a million edits per conversation. If anything, use a 360 camera in center or maybe split the screen so we can see all at once. But please, Jared, don't go edit crazy!

[@DarthAlex12]

spmil999 youre right! But since its a video on KZbin i watch it too And some cuts more would it make more interesting. Just a Suggestion

[@Stig69]

Recruiters are garbage sometimes. They'll tell you that you can do any real world job, send you to one city for an ASVAB, send you to another for MEPS medical stuff where you "pick" your list of desirable jobs, and swear you in. Then later they break the news that they're giving you another random job right before sending you off to boot camp. People will wanna travel and work on satellites or whatever their dream job is, and they'll have you washing basketballs in Delaware or something your whole enlistment. Special forces guys can even get permanently repurposed during boot camp if they decide they don't want you for whatever reason. That actually happens pretty often. Others might have different experiences, but that's what I saw alot of when I enlisted in 2011.

[@alexeypyzhov120]

What about the truck driver? Do you know his side of the story? How did he cope with it, did he feel guilty or got in trouble?

[@theschmidy]

I'm around 45 minutes in, and this is getting so ironically meta, haha. I love to hear you guys ramble like stoners, don't get me wrong, haha, but I really wish you would invite some experts into these talks! Smart people have been talking about these kinds of thing for a long time, and it's kinda painful when you guys struggle to articulate massively complex ideas. I love that you're introducing these ideas to a broader audience! I just think that maybe you should have these conversations off-camera and then invite interviewees who can illuminate these ideas, for both your sake and the audience's. It could make for some really useful and interesting content. Clint, I feel for you, bro. I know how confusing it is to feel like you have to reexamine every aspect of your beliefs and worldview. I'll just echo what I said above. Consult the experts. Get some help. There are lots of reasons why so many people (extremely smart people) continue to dedicate their lives to Christ. Tim Keller has a great google talk that actually discusses the reasons why people believe anything. You might find it interesting. I think it's called "making sense of god" or "the reason for god" or something.

[@veganshredder]

[@soundninja99]

He meant doing it regularly where the child starts to identify with whatever he or she is dressing up and emulating. He used dressing up as a Disney princess because it was a real discussion with his wife, but his stance would probably be the same if he saw the same effects as the result of something else
