[@ebonyhernandez4563]

bold of mike to think I have 10 friends to share the podcast with haha

[@benjaminrivard8014]

Not as bold as wearing that sweater lmao

[@jmelll93]

Always my thought when they say that hahhaha

[@amnesiahaze1914]

I felt personally attacked

[@Carol-mn9xq]

i read "Mike" as "milk" as was very confused lol

[@zenebalsalem5717]

That’s what I was thinking 😂

[@seethisrighthere5603]

definitely underrated podcast

[@aliciacastiglioni2514]

Carly literally makes me WHEEZE and sometimes no one else laughs!! I hope she reads these so she knows people hear her absolutely hilarious little responses!

[@Earth3000]

Those Joe Rogan quips🤣

[@paulinaherrera2772]

Literallyyy, Carly is my favorite

[@manderzzz]

.:.?

[@sainaina]

i love mike’s opinions and thoughts he deserves more recognition (you could say he’s underrated😉)

[@Earth3000]

Hell yeah. Him not listening to Joe Rogan sealed the deal for me. I can't tolerate nutjobs or far right enablers

[@valeriaclark1878]

Mike, when u said that thing about people complaining about the volume of KZbin videos, often times it’s really annoying when the KZbin video is super quiet so you have to increase your volume but then when the ads come on, the ads are blasting at full vol and you have to keep going back and forth. Just thought I would say , love the pod!

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

True it happens all the time, also sometimes you’re at work and allowed to have headphones but noise from machines or ppl chatting can make it hard to listen to at work when the audio is too quiet

[@Whitlb]

I love the long format! I love having the option of either watching the video or just listening with an earbud while doing dishes or getting ready.

[@timelyss]

this podcast is notttttttt too long. it’s literally the perfect medium.🥰🥰

[@krismaree5211]

it really is bc a lot of the time when i do my makeup its always to short n i waste time picking snother vid but w their podcasts it perfect n i dont take to to much time on the makeup

[@io2255]

I want it to be even longer

[@brittanysimon8331]

Carly saying young gravy is overrated lmao! AGREE

[@Katienthings]

Carly seems happier and more confident. It’s so cute to see 🥰

[@katiefoster2169]

I think the people who don’t like cats were mean to a cat and the cat acted appropriately, and for that I respect them.

[@caroltassin4049]

I had a 5 lb. Calico cat, very loving, saved my life. I was in the kitchen & she kept jumping on my legs & turned & ran, didn't follow, she came back jumped again until I followed her to the bedroom. In the middle of the bed was a 4 inch flame from a short in an electric blanket, just caught in time,she also had a litter & jumped on the bed to get me, wouldn't have her babies unless my hand was on her, loved that cat!!!

[@pritthida]

hear me out:since you guys already did morning routines, you should do a night routines episode… IN YOUR PAJAMAS!!!

[@NathanBabb]

Carly and Mike have the BEST fashion

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

They always compliment each other as in clothing wise lol when they’re sitting side by side

[@NathanBabb]

Carly is HILARIOUS

[@tiffanynfl]

I came here to say this podcast is soooo underrated and I see a few agree. I’m sure there will be several saying the same. We love all you guys here in keystone heights Florida! 🤟🏼

[@celestemarieserna7767]

For sure underrated podcast. I watched the first one just to pass the time, but I found myself really enjoying most topics, and I really like the idea of starting each episode with a topic because it always brings the conversation back around. 10/10 all around 🎉

[@jopping_]

i'd honestly love to see other types of content from y'all! even if it's just once every few months LMAO

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

Yes like the suggestion about different seltzers

[@annabrooks3626]

your pajama episode should be like the polar express day in elementary school where we would wear our pjs to class and make hot chocolate while we watch polar express in class!! maybe like a christmas-y episode or something! this podcast slays btw

[@shrine1395]

who said this podcast is too long? I need it to be longer I can never get enough of you guys :') istg if u listen to them and make it shorter I will... be really sad

[@jasminecarter5305]

Yessss to more longer and different content!! That would be so fun!

[@williamherondale8121]

this podcast is definitely underrated, it's the only podcast i watch/listen to where i've actually watched every episode of it so far!

[@io2255]

I don’t think mega stars like Beyoncé or Taylor or even Ed Sheeran belong in conversations about being overrated. They’ve all been in the industry for over a decade and have managed to stay on top, they’re perfectly rated for what they are and enjoyed by the masses.

[@samantharhodes7747]

I love that blondie’s brought up in almost every episode 🥰 today has been a stressful day for swifties 😅 Thanks for the video y’all 😊

[@MakiBrownn]

Tuesdays are made for Matt Kings podcasts

[@lmc2410]

why did erin get all weird when they talked about her wedding? They shared their experiences and she just didn’t reply.

[@olivia-wn5nm]

no cat slander!

[@lcvefrank]

why was there so much tension after mike asked if erin had a photo booth lol

[@megan_1]

Matt's face when Carly says froyo is timeless, and Mike's reaction when Carly calls cats majestic creatures lmfao

[@dorienkinsman4344]

starbucks barista here!!! mike is right, lighter (blonde) roasts do have more caffeine than the medium & dark roasts, i recommend veranda blonde roast for drip coffee, and blonde espresso over regular in any latte, cappuccino, macchiato, etc. :) 😊

[@madisonjohnson4457]

Yesss totally agree with Carly about cats!

[@RaeofLight13]

I love Mike and Carly but what I love more is Mikes sweater!

[@madelinedvorak2207]

100% do more extended content. It might boost your channel a little bit

[@molly8726]

Matt, you 100% would fit in & enjoy a smart car to drive around town. The newer models are so roomy. My mother in law has FOUR of them (she’s crazy) haha. My husband is 6’3 and I’m 5’10 and they’re surprisingly roomy and so fun and funny to drive around town in! They have the same amount of space as an average car just with no backseat. Go for it and live your smart car dream!!! They actually aren’t cramped like you’d think they would be

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

Matt is about that 6’3 height too she should def make a a day in my life with a rented smart car 😂

[@raisapetraitis8322]

This is my favorite podcast and I love how long the episodes are, and that y’all are hilarious & the convo flow is so natural!

[@ashleyk167]

This podcast is the perfect amount of time! I always listen to like half and come back when I have time.

[@marcustate1350]

Good Influences is starting to become one of my favorite podcasts. The chemistry between Carly, Erin, Matt and Mike, creates great conversations I always enjoy listening to. They are so funny and the positive vibes makes them really good influences lol but, I don’t like how they chose which topic is overrated or underrated. They didn’t seem to take into consideration how each topic would be rated in general but basically rated the things themselves. Which was a little annoying and seemed misleading to me. For an example, Taylor Swift is generally rated as a really good artist/singer and sometimes as a top tier artist/singer which is why I’d say she is overrated. I like her but don’t think she should be praised as a top 5 or 10 artist in her genre. Idk, I could be totally wrong tho. I didn’t mean to write a whole review but love all the other episodes lol

[@hannam2458]

I love this podcast! One of my favorites & genuinely enjoy listening to all of you each week ❤️❤️

[@Ronell2Brazy]

I love watching your podcast!! Love you guys ♥️

[@B0STINN]

Mike explaining what he hates about Joe Rogan, and all of the qualities listed are exactly Matt

[@noellet3331]

That bit of information on the coffee bean roasting is much appreciated!

[@wendiigaxii]

10/10 for Mike’s sweater.

[@Meghanalyssa99]

I LOVE how long they are and wouldn’t mind them being longer. This is becoming my favorite podcast over Unfiltered. I love the vibe with all four of you, it is perfect!! You will win an award in no time :)

[@victoriahogan8632]

Matt would look like Mr incredible in a smart car

[@gabygarcia5596]

Love you all, love the pod!

[@Carol-mn9xq]

In São Paulo (Brazil), hot dogs have mashed potatoes, lettuce, vinaigrette, mayo, ketchup, mustard, bacon, corn… and it’s delicious

[@sarahelizabeth5656]

I LOVE LONG PODCATSSSSSS. Honestly not long enough!!! I listen too quickly and then I get sad that I have to wait another week for a new episode. I love listening when walking my dog or eating breakfast in the morning. Came here just to comment this because I am a Spotify listener!!

[@IAFoodReviews]

I love Mike’s sweater! I want one! 🍁🍂

[@AngieFlippi]

everybody is so passionate about their opinions haha

[@tiffffjane]

Hoot & a Half and Only Friends are great podcasts, but I really love the dynamic between all four together. This one is definitely my favorite and I would love to see the 4 of you collaborate on other videos outside of the podcast.

[@jasonhunter2819]

Bad news Matt, from people I've known that quit smoking...that desire to pick it back up *never* goes away! I know 2 people that have stopped for over 20 years and have heard both of them say if they could start smoking again safely they would in a heartbeat. They are the *worst*...

[@MoriMe1]

Love this podcast!! On the road to #1 !!

[@kaylabeatty8083]

Not me nodding in unison with Matt about robes 🤣💚 robes are life and I'll wear em out with no shame .

[@GoodCleanBrittany]

Matt: I don’t really remember your cake..? Erin:.. me neither 🤷‍♀️

[@letterbytheocean]

Erin’s hair slays

[@officialzackk]

Underrated pod, honest to god this topic could easily be a long ass episode 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@tayloroo]

Matt with the peach joke and the "is it a video" lyric killed me. Yall are lucky I'm not on the pod or you would have had to trim out the audio of my cackle afterwards.

[@Jackie1001]

Someone show that clip of Matt talking about super cars to Heath rn

[@kaylabeatty8083]

Right when I get over not having an 'official' intro Erin pulls through 20 minutes in 🤣🤣 glad I wasn't the only one thinking about it ☠️ the topic was too good

[@werapadillao]

In Mexico we make hot dogs rolled in bacon, and we put cheese, guacamole, and chips on top, as well as mayo and ketchup, you should try it🤭

[@IceCreaaaam29]

The waterboy bit had me dying 😂

[@timelyss]

LMFAOOOO 26:00 I still have to use the cassette tape to hook up an adapter to an aux cord in my car 😂😂😂😂 I can’t waitttttttt to graduate and be able to save for a new car 🤣🤣🤣 then again I feel kinda vintage 🥰🤣

[@gabriellaorona6396]

Literally WTF are ppl on!! There is no such thing as the podcast being too long!!! Too long for one sitting ?? Sure… I LITERALLy Watch all your individual podcast throughout the entire week!! I hit play evERYTIME I have the chance to listen… so stupid! If its TOO LONG just PAUSE IT !! I get so frustrated because I have heard you all say this on your individual podcasts and I truly do not understand why ppl can’t just STFU and pause and continue… DONT LET THEM RUIN IT FOR US!! Keep it rolling team 🤠

[@biancacolmenares620]

RC is older, it’s an OG and a Chicago/Midwest thing. And it’s good!

[@kayahopkins1700]

55:20 Daaaam see, this is why I think the underrated was valid because cats show so much love all the time. Im constantly feel bad because my cat will want to cuddle and I have to go to class, and Know I'm not the only one that does this. Cats are beautiful souls and I do agree that if more people weren't initially turned off to the idea (due to the "cat lady" stereotype and other social criticisms), and keep an open mind, that they might find they're actually a cat person more than a dog person. Its also about meeting the right animal either it be dog or cat because every little guy is different.

[@babyblues7025]

My cat names Aries acts more like a dog and he’s like the sweetest cat to people he likes when he first meets them but to the owners man he cuddles hard like we have to push him off sometimes to breathe. And he’s a big cat but so sweet like he loves to be spooned or cuddled in general or kisses because it goes back and forth from owner to cat to them cat to owner. I’m not big on cats but this one is my favorite and I wouldn’t change him for the world. I love you guys and good job on the podcast it’s amazing seeing you guys!!

[@eddyhernandez281]

awkward moment at 52:22 for no reason… some times I feel like this squad does not work well together, but idk.

[@megirving]

Matt I’m with you, coconut flakes are definitely more expensive than MnM’s

[@LA-us6kp]

Y’all. Every topic you said could be “whatever people want” lol the whole point of this is to say whether or not you individually think something is over or underrated

[@abbybaby72]

Matt really critically thinking about froyo weights is sending me

[@samanthaparson7697]

My mouth dropped to the floor when Matt said he didn’t know what the Opry was😱😂

[@devynprocka3656]

Oh my god!! I live in Fargo. Please come hehe. I’ll show you around

[@Madisonlovesmakeup35]

I agree that robes are underrated 😂😂

[@leahmatthews9212]

I’m just back from NYC, literally last night. My first time ever in America… it is FUCKING CRAZY. Times Square was so overwhelming. I’m glad I went and thought it was great but like… I’m so happy to be back in my small little town in Ireland. There isn’t a moments peace or quiet in New York, constant honking, sirens, shouting, music blaring.

[@marydefloria4813]

Matt’s thinking of “Quaker Steak and Lube” and they have some of the BEST wings lol

[@jessieloz]

Cats are underrated I love my cat They’re the cutest 🐈 🐈‍⬛

[@amandapanda45]

Not me dying laughing when Matt said “my bad.. and I’m learning 🥴”

[@kaylabeatty8083]

Underrated for sure , flew by like nothing happened . Can't wait for the next one

[@tessa2483]

Mike! The lighter roasted a coffee bean is, the more acidic. Although light roast is new(er) to Starbucks, a ton of people prefer a cup with less acidity and taste rather than the caffeine amount 🤪

[@delcarr26]

Sparkling water take - Mineragua is the most top tier of all, second is Topo Chico and nothing else matters after that🤣 la croix has no flavor and not enough sparkle! I rarely comment so you know I’m passionate about this one 😅

[@tammylee7377]

Great episode!!! I totally think you all are underated 💯🤣🤣🥰

[@taylorklinke]

A year ago I only saw one or two teslas in my area and it was always like WHOA, a Tesla. But now I see them a lot more often. They’re just getting to the small town Midwest now haha

[@taynaradias5441]

@Matt! Just wanted to say thank you for quitting vaping, it has inspired me to quit and it’s been 27 days vape free.

[@laalah16]

love this podcast and I actually like Erin but her mean girl attitude towards Carly is exhausting to watch

[@TM-tr7re]

i actually agree. ive listened to their podcast a lot too and have noticed it there. ive been friends w girls like that and its just how they are and dont even realize. but yeah, it is exhausting.

[@KatsObsession]

Ugh Matt just lost points in my book when he said he listens to Joe Rogan daily 😩

[@hebasiddiqui2862]

He didn't say that, he said Joe Rogan posted videos daily, because whenever he checks there are 3-4 new videos

[@adrianacalva2658]

@heba siddiqui he said he listens everyday @ 1:30

[@jbnks1995]

matt has big joe rogan energy, no suprise

[@alisontorres71]

When they talked about how Joe Rogan takes jokes too serious, and Matt mentioned that he listens to him regularly, everything suddenly made sense to me lmao

[@io2255]

mike I would listen to you talk about coffee and other random topics for hours

[@hihii3902]

If this podcast was 3 hours I’d be stoked

[@haileyrivera2948]

Love this podcast

[@jessjohnson1055]

You all look great. Mike love you in that sweater

[@megan_1]

Matt bawling at Erin's wedding 😭🥺❤

[@princessaraya]

My favourite podcast, definitely underrated

[@gunaitarde9312]

You should do an ep called AITAF - am I the asshole for... would love all the confessions and your situations too

[@JessicaNicoleFaust]

🤣Erin being funny at 1:00:52 “And I was like thank god 🤣

[@yikessduude]

La croix are definitely overrated!! Sparkling water in general, or even seltzers are not good in my opinion

[@KatsObsession]

100% they are so gross.

[@ganjabongmaster4204]

erin get the oregon trail chai mix from the store! just do half that half milk of your choice

[@ammegrewog]

Thank you Matt for saying that about papayas! I love mango, hate papaya 🤢

[@rachaelhamilton6431]

i definitely could be wrong but i feel like matt was high this episode. idk he seemed a little bit more giggly😂

[@nicolekneip]

Starbucks blonde roast is not new!! but it’s my fav! i buy it ground from the store bc they stop selling hot blonde at most starbucks by 10am and their iced coffee is dark bc that’s just what most people prefer :// 👎🏼👎🏼 ! love the pod and love long podcasts (:

[@amanduhhhh42]

i love hearing mike talk about coffee, because i also take coffee seriously and know a lot about it. also hell yeah, wawa is where it's at

[@Madisonlovesmakeup35]

My cat head butts me and my other cat gently bites my ankles and toes to show me love!😂 you also learn to read cats body language and facial expressions just like how you read dogs. idk why people compare cats and dogs so much… they’re literally different animals, they’re gonna behave and show their affection differently lol

[@supertreme5559]

57:10 Dogs: "you give me food, water and housing, YOU must be GOD" Cats: "you give me food, water and housing, I must be GOD"
