WHAT WE DON'T LIKE (Just Chatting!) | Good Influences Episode 75

[@BeccaPatches]

Matt: “Krampus comes not to give but to take” Carly: “what does he take tho” Matt: “he takes your soul” Carly: “ohh, so not like your TV” 😂😂😂

[@catarinabrock9473]

Crying at mike recording himself throwing up and Matt’s impression 😭

[@KelseyHazelKeller]

Mike says a lot of crazy shit but “do they still sell pears” is my new fav

[@Thefatimaomer]

Y’all were reallyyyy loud on October 7th and the following days, but now it’s complete silence. What happened to the activism Mike? What happened to criticizing the Israeli government??? I know for a fact that you are well aware of the what’s happening in Gaza

[@MariannaRobbins]

Watching Good Influences while at work boosts company morale

[@OnYa20]

Why did I click into this. ‘I wonder will there be another war on Christmas’ ….nope just a war on children that has been happening for months now. Silence from people with platforms = compliance. 💔💔

[@sierracherubini3642]

Can confirm that working at a grocery store that plays holiday music for 2 months does indeed drive you insane. That one by Train can fully stop playing at this point.

[@zaidaben]

Yesssss. Played at work yesterday and still got weeks of it left

[@charlotteeee182]

im going to be honest when i first started watching this podcast i wasnt keen on mike - im not sure why i thought he was kind of arrogant/ argumentative - but as ive watched on ive learned he is not at ALL and i love him so much . he seems like such a kind, genuine good guy a pleasure to know. as do all of you, i love all of you guys! hope this didnt offend u if ur seeing this mike haha!

[@Thefatimaomer]

Silence is complicity

[@eyeslit1372]

It’s just wild at this point the respect they give when talking about Judaism in contrast to the blatant disrespect they give when talking about Christianity, I don’t understand why they can’t grasp the idea of giving respect to both, I’m specifically talking about Erin and Carly they have done it a handful of times now to the point where I would really be interested in hearing their reasoning

[@Drelelelel]

Agree! It’s really strange that they do that

[@Kim7570]

Exactly. Why can't they show respect to all religions?

[@kimberlyrosas9]

I agree! It would be interesting to hear their reasoning.

[@eyeslit1372]

I am all for open discussions about any topic especially with opposing views, it’s what makes things interesting and how we learn from each other, it’s just the lack of respect that I find disappointing and a little hurtful to be honest, I actually really enjoy when they talk about Judaism because it’s interesting to learn about other ppls culture/religion just wish they would give the same respect to Christianity and all other of course.

[@Meghanalyssa99]

“Do they still sell pears” 😂😂

[@leedlliz9847]

Mike: “Well that was USB-C, thank god we don’t have to fucking play that game anymore” 😂

[@Phillyphilly60]

Mike is sf annoying who hurt him so bad I’m like a minute in he’s already complaining about politics like he didn’t grow up so privileged and why are they obsessed with hating Christan’s big weirdo haters you talk about how everyone should be equal and what not get it together you have one job

[@Bobbyshampoothedriver]

In no way are they saying they hate christians. Them, just like you and just like everyone else, has preferences & their own beliefs. If you get upset by someone talking about a different belief from yours, you’re the problem.

[@Phillyphilly60]

I just think they are extremely hypocritical when it comes to these topics..every time 🫠

[@destinyshaw7336]

If you’ve worked in retail you know exactly what song matt was singing 😂😭

[@devonrafanelli1006]

The Matzah Ball is SUCH A GOOD BOOK!!!!! I highly recommend :)

[@nataliekoelling663]

Would you guys consider dedicating an episode to break-ups? I'm currently navigating through the end of a four-year relationship and realized you haven't covered this topic yet. I think it would be really helpful. Thanks for considering! :)

on the cartoon big mouth, nick kroll voices literally everybody in the series alongside jessi klein and john mulaney and other silly comedians, i immediately thought of nick kroll when erin asked which show it was where the writer voices everyone and i just had a phat feeling it was big mouth but i didn’t hear any mention

I live in Colorado Springs and every year there is an annual fruit cake toss. My elementary school choir had a tradition of singing “ the ever lasting fruit cake “ every year for the Christmas concert… every year my dad eats atleast 3 fruit cakes at Christmas time, the only human I know to truly enjoy fruit cake. Everyone else is aware how bad it tastes. It wasn’t until this podcast I’m realizing fruit cake isn’t common 🤣

[@jesssaunders3820]

As above so below is actually a really good movie If you sit down and watch it. I fell asleep the first few times but when I actually watched it its actually trippy to think about. Like it is possible

[@Ella-os6xl]

I‘m from Switzerland and everyone lights real candles on the Christmas tree

[@camilasenna145]

Here in Austria we still light candles on the Christmas tree. Not being Austrian myself, I also find it CRAAAAZY, but everyone does it here, it's very normal!

[@cjoyellow-bee6362]

And on fruit cake in the US fruit cake is always regifted and can be regifted for years cause it tastes that nasty trust me you don’t want to eat it.

I work in ER on Long Island. Not going to name the hospital but one time I had a teenage boy came in who was riding a quad thru the woods and someone put a thin wire along 2 trees and the kid chopped his head off. Imagine seeing that come through while at ER 😂

Industry secret: I worked at a major cable/internet company. Customer service reps aren’t authorized to give customers discounts only switch your services over to a new promo. Reps in the cancellation dept (aka Retention) ARE authorized to give discounts/deals to lower your bill in order to keep your business. That’s why when you say you’re cancelling you are able to get a lower price. The initial customer service rep isn’t gate keeping, the gate also keeps them out.

[@haroldlopez958]

mike is always talking about nonsense who’s going to tell mike that the actor for marge is using her natural speaking voice and she sounds different bc aging is a thing…

[@11annemari]

Wait I’m so confused why do so many christians watch this podcast…? lol like nothing about any of them is giving christian and never has?? Weird thing to get mad at when this has always been a podcast based on them telling their opinions and point of view on things. If it’s not your sense of humor, maybe don’t watch or just look past it? Anyways, love the pod guys hail Satan 🤘🏽

[@aza9721]

hi friend!! hope you are having a great day! I personally love listening to the pod because it's a group of open minded individuals, deep diving into certain topics! as a christian, even tho I don't agree with what their saying, I give them grace, I won't go shunning them and stop listening, because that's not what god would want me to do, and would not be christian like of me, the message is to be understanding and give love and grace. sure they might not have the same beliefs as me, but I can see how it can be upsetting to hear these conversations as typically we see them be very respectful of other religions, so being an open minded group who is openly respectful about other religions , it would be nice to hear them not talk negatively about christianity, as they wouldn't talk about negatively about islam, judaism, etc! but I don't think it should be a situation where christian's should tune out of the pod, instead I think we should think of it as a open platform but still respect all religions as they would the rest. hoping this could give an insight or opinion from someone's pov! god loves you sissy, if u ever have any questions feel free to message me! 🤍

Have you guys never heard of a chronic illness 😭 10:32 why the laughter 👀

[@mollousha]

It’s funny because it’s an unusual way to introduce a character in a book that has nothing to do with their illness

[@devonrafanelli1006]

@@mollousha I understand why it may seem like that, but as someone who has read (and loved) the book, the plot actually DOES have a lot to do with her chronic illness - it’s an extremely accurate portrayal of having a chronic/invisible illness. It’s okay if you’ve never heard of a chronic illness and sure maybe it was jarring for them to read the description, but the reason why it mentions her chronic illness isn’t for a shock factor, it has to do with the character and the plot which is WHY it’s in the description…

[@mollousha]

@@devonrafanelli1006ohhhhhh okay thank you my bad. I assumed it wasn’t a serious/good book by the way they were talking about it. I thought it was supposed to be funny in the way that some hallmark movies are funny, if that makes sense?
