[@mossycobblestoneslab]

carly is so funny 😭 “it’s out of love, i swear to god” to her nun aunt 😂

Something I think would be cool, redoing some topics again! More conspiracy theories, myths, urban legends, AITAH, DRUNK EPISODE!!

[@JessicaNicoleFaust]

Definitely! ESP am I the assssshole

[@laurynblake3824]

I would love just a separate urban legends episode where they can talk about ones from each state and look them up to talk about and have people send in submissions of if they seen any

[@PinkCandySkies13]

Carly had me dying in the beginning she was so quick witted and casual

[@carys.huff20]

Matt I hope you don’t get in your head too much during these episodes! You’re great and your opinions and presence makes this show whole 💜💜 never second guess that

[@samanthamichelle23]

I normally don’t comment on videos but I felt the urge to this week since I think this is the third week in a row now I’ve noticed this. The past three videos I’ve exited out of watching because of the way you guys talk about religion. You may not be religious at all but every time you guys bring something up it’s always disrespectful and I’m sure a lot of your fans are religious in some way. I do always notice Matt is quick to change the subject or speak up and say everyone has different beliefs so let’s move on so thank you Matt. You’ve always been my fav.

[@Rhodesicle]

Matt looking like a statue while Erin was reading that first advice email hahaha

[@user-id5gg7ci4r]

I think the person who said “moved 12 hours away” is perhaps Canadian because measuring distance like that is very common here lol

[@emilydanxelle]

I’m from the US and would have said it this way lol idk why they thought that was strange

[@jackmchugh7961]

Before watching I just wanted to comment and say thank you guys for making my days so much better, been going through a shit ton lately and good influences has been my escape❤

[@GoodInfluences]

here for you 💛

[@carissa6751]

I don’t think religion is so black & white. Let’s not generalize all Christian’s as the same bc it’s simply not factual. It’s okay for us to have our own beliefs & opinions on things just like it is completely okay for you guys to have yalls own. It’s also okay for y’all to think we’re wrong for our beliefs & vice versa with us towards your guys’ beliefs. But as public figures, it’s so distasteful to always talk down on Christian’s every time it’s brought up in conversation. Thank you Matt for always being respectful & allowing others to have differing opinions without talking down & making us feel like we’re less than if we don’t believe in the same things y’all do.

[@sw8547]

Why should they down play how they really feel just because you dont agree with it?

[@sw8547]

Seriously - think about it. If they were talking about a band they dont like would you have such strong feelings?

[@logsf18]

@@sw8547 why do you guys have to downplay how we think and for our beliefs? Like I say one thing you don't like and you try to go after my job, my family, my location, and its happened

[@GV-jn9ih]

I think with how overpowering Christian influence is on our laws and rights, there’s a reason people feel that way. Plus, when people have religion trauma, they have a right to vent and call out the religion that hurt them.

[@logsf18]

@@GV-jn9ih So what your saying is because we have Christian values within our laws and because people have been hurt by Christianity that its ok to bash the religion? So what about Islam, Judaism, Buddhism. I'm sure there's people who were hurt by those and I'm sure they influence political laws as well. So why is bashing Christianlty ok and not the other religions? That seems quite hypocritical

[@summercaton7633]

This may have been commented already - but I'm pretty sure Maria in Sound of Music was in seminary to become a nun. She hadn't taken her "vow" yet, which would have made her an actual nun. That's why the head sister encouraged her to pursue her feelings for the dad of the kids she was nannying, so she wouldn't regret it if she went forward with being a nun.

[@TheCharlie851]

Not me screaming this the whole time they were talking about it. I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid.

[@melindagilfoy5748]

It was a pot brownie that Henry ate. He was a little high but was fine the next day. 😊

[@Melbean]

Matt would be a PHENOMENAL actor I’m not even kidding. Also I think I have a crush on mike

[@marybelle]

I have an aunt who is a nun too! She wears normal clothes and the informal head thing with the cloth to family events.

[@Ryan_Messenger]

I now associate you with tacos because my wife and I eat tacos and watch these all the time. Which means I love you bc I love tacos. 👍

[@idkwhatimdoingheree]

I truly love this podcast SO much. Ive been trying to exercise more so now I take walks while I listen and you guys have me laughing out loud as im walking 😂 also Carly and Erin, thank you for putting me on to VPR! 💜

[@Glitterhead82]

Erin: “You know, there’s a difference between like and love. I like my Skechers but I love my Prada backpack.” But I love my Skechers. Erin: “That’s because you don’t have a Prada backpack.” 😂She’s such a snob.

Erin’s never seen The Sound of Music but gave them shit for never seeing Superstar?!?! HUH

[@autie_hope]

i love yall but where was the advice

[@KenBrownJr73]

The problem with VHS is that the quality degrades over time and especially if you are playing them frequently . DVD or BluRay is the way to go if you are wanting physical media since they are digitized and on media that won't degrade (so long as you keep it in a case so it doesn't get scratched.

[@kellyhowland783]

Maybe compromise and do 2 calls a day, 1 on his way to work and maybe after on his way home so when he gets home he's with his wife.. Also he should tell his siblings to call mom more so it's not all consuming on him

[@chrisley.]

Mattt KING!!!!!!!!!! I need to talk to you!

I just walked a million miles through Europe in my Reebok club c’s can confirm they’re the best 👌🏽

[@XxmerrcowsxX]

I recently had a similar situation with a friend where I was diagnosed with ADHD, and struggling to find a doctor to help me and get me medicated (my anxiety and depression were so bad I couldn’t get out of bed almost daily) and she told me I was a bad friend. We work together, but I ended it and told her all the reasons, she just chase me around with excuses and tried to blame my ADHD as being annoying and try to compare her depression to mean saying that I needed to realize that I wasn’t being me… 100% knew I was being me, now, I just do me, and it clearly still bothers her to some extent. Living my best life, toxic friend free.

in texas there is a church that does a Christmas service/preformance and they had crazy magic, effects, stunts, and even live animals such as elephants and camels. i cant remember the name but its insane. its in a really big and old church

[@tammylee7377]

On the last advice about the man and his mom, Who's to say it's really not him needing to talk to his mom? Sure he's agreeing with the wife but if their that close looks like he could be comfortable enough to say it's causing a little rift in his marriage. Either way I wouldn't mind if my husband was doing that for his mother and her comfort. Sounds like the wifey is jealous and that's not cool 🤣💯

[@jen3328]

Yeah so. That’s my uncle 😭😂

[@heathern3734]

I need to know what happened at the end for Erin to have that reaction!

[@danasettles9742]

Self help books to listen too A new earth Eckhart and Brené Brown all very good

[@taylordurst706]

there are apostolic‘s all over near me. they go crazy and party it up when they’re young before they join the church, then when they finally do join they have to write apology letters to everyone they have wronged.

[@akpinklady]

I know a lot of people won't agree but the roommates with the dogs.. if you have roommates I'm assuming you go half on rent so what gives you the ability to have two dogs roaming around but she can't leave her stuff out.. I think you should be responsible for your dogs and you shouldn't let them get on the counter especially since other people use it too.. im sure the dogs damage things around the place because they're puppies and if she's tolerating that I think you can make sure your dogs are not getting into everything 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@love9181]

That’s my uncle 😇

[@xjshipp]

w advice w pod

[@jgest88]

I live with my mom and she doesn’t even talk to me 5 times a day.

[@daniel.gonzalez]

Yooo, the whole section on the Apostolic went a bit overboard. I get that their religious practices may seem a bit absurd, but had you been talking about Muslims or the Jewish community, you would have been cancelled. Not only that, but you guys were completely disrespectful towards the apostolic community. This definitely deserves an apology for being insensitive toward them. Besides that, y’all rock. Love the podcast. 💪 I hope someone sees this.

[@emmadacey538]

1:00:10 omg both of my parents grew up apostolic, and both sides of my family still are my parents left when I was three

[@lulafrey5830]

Does anyone else think it might be time to switch the seating arrangement up?

i literally wouldn’t care if my husband talked to his mom 5 x a day, doesn’t affect me, she can talk to the dog all day, it’s not like she’s coming over randomly without asking or anything

Someone should make a compilation of every time Taylor Swift is brought up in Good Influences. There would be a clip from every video 😂

[@Forestmcmillin1]

Omg Carly is Harry Erin is Ron and mike is hermione and Matt is Malfoy

[@ixcelperez1153]

As someone who grew up apostolic and no longer goes to church . I can see why this girl does not want to become apostolic. The church is filled with people who think we live in the 90s , women should dress a certain way .They basically want to change your whole personality.

[@HanaleiAcosta]

mike calling matt a pick me girl had me dying

[@iggyroxx]

Hey guys, I love your podcast! While I do love you speaking on different topics, religion included, I do wish you would be more sensitive on how you speak about Christianity and Catholicism. You have a lot of sensitivity when speaking about race, gender identity, sexuality, etc etc but rarely defend or speak kindly of those religions specifically. There is a vast majority of Catholics and Christian’s that do not have those strict outdated viewpoints or live lives as normal as you while still maintaining a close relationship with God. It is a bit hurtful to hear you always speaking down on that population of people as if we’re all traditional, out dated, and will outcast those that do not uphold certain beliefs of ours. I know it is not your intention and everyone has the right to their opinion but just a thought😊

[@miriamrenteria4885]

Yes like I love listening to them and like you said it can hurt to hear them say stuff that is not true at all especially because I’ve been listening and following for years so yea it just kinda sucks ❤

[@iggyroxx]

@@miriamrenteria4885 yes, exactly! If someone can be inclusive and sensitive to all other religions and different topics (that I mentioned) then you should also be able to be sensitive to Catholicism and Christianity. Otherwise it’s just perpetuating a narrative that isn’t true (for a lot of people) and dismissing the reality of our beliefs and faith while upholding others.

[@joiebele]

"Prada is out" lmao Prada has been a luxury brand forever and will always be. Not everything needs to be a trend

[@TheMarielovehersiste]

i think it's kinda crazy how a lot of english speaking people refuse to pronounce foreign brands the way they are supposed to be pronounced haha

[@Stephteoo]

I also think it’s bc we don’t know how to pronounce it properly 🫣

[@Stephteoo]

Oh wait I just got to that point lol

[@TheSackingsrock]

First

[@miriamrenteria4885]

Yea I agree, I get they might not understand or agree with certain religions or beliefs but as a podcast listener I wish they would respect that area. You don’t have to agree to respect something. They are clearly showing they have no knowledge of most religions and beliefs so why speak on it. Just leave it unless they are willing to do research on. Like you said you, they usually take it too far when it comes to religion. I love listening to this podcast but I feel uncomfortable when they talk this way.

[@dfordayo]

Just like some people have said, y’all can be more respectful of religion in generally but specifically Christianity in this case. The part about speaking in tongues is just distasteful, especially you Mike. Doesn’t cost to be kind. Have a good day!

[@connorsaxton3360]

Those are not jewish stars🤣😂😂

[@krisstinalewis6347]

i love you guys but i hateeee how you speak on almost every religion so passive aggressively & generalize everyone within that religion. it's perfectly normal and okay to not follow/agree with a religion but you guys (apart from matt) always take it an extra mile to bash the religion.

[@sw8547]

They are allowed to have their own opinions just like you are. Why should they down play how they really feel? They don’t have to change how they talk or think just to make you comfortable and you dont have to listen

[@krisstinalewis6347]

@@sw8547 i literally just said that they’re allowed to feel that way. I’m allowed to have my opinion on how they speak about certain topics and i felt it was a bit harsh, and i JUST said i love them so idk what makes you think i want them to change themselves, i just think they should consider how they make the people of that religion feel who do not behave to the stereotype that they’re believing

[@TheKTCM]

@@sw8547 it’s a pretty simple ask to have them not generalize.

[@logsf18]

@@sw8547 Its funny you say they shouldn't change their thinking when they have told others to change their significant others or friends to change how they think... ex: the bf who wants his gf to get baptized, the lonely person who's only friend is the right leaning gay person, the gf who wants to change how her bf's parents think...
