00:00:01.840 What advice would you give to people?
00:00:03.460 You know Yossi Pharaoh?

00:00:04.760 Yossi Pharaoh, the rabbi did a Shabbat dinner.
00:00:06.440 Actually, I talked to him this morning.

00:00:12.800 It's just an act sometimes. 0.99
00:00:14.320 Yeah, that's just certain things we don't do, especially if he's a religious leader.
00:00:17.960 Uh-huh. 1.00
00:00:18.280 He's calling me on Twitter, you're a loser. 1.00

00:00:20.920 We had Shabbat dinner, shared bread.

00:00:23.100 I'm sorry.
00:00:23.580 No, I did.
00:00:23.940 I did this morning.
00:00:24.560 Don't worry.
00:00:24.940 Are you going to become a rabbi, too?
00:00:26.880 We'll see.

00:00:41.400 Not valentine.
00:00:41.760 That's true.
00:00:48.260 And now the end is near.
00:00:52.520 And so I face the final curtain
00:00:58.880 My friend, I'll say it clear
00:01:05.000 I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
00:01:11.360 Happy Valentine's Day. Love is in the air.
00:01:15.860 Oh, it does work. I'm so excited.
00:01:18.480 For what?
00:01:18.760 It makes your drink slushy, so it can make a cocktail slushy.
00:01:24.820 I put just some ice cubes in it, and I put it in the freezer to see, and it does work.
00:01:29.340 If you put some vodka in there, I won't tell on you.
00:01:32.580 I want a Celsius in there now.
00:01:34.300 I want a Celsius.

00:02:59.820 before it's dark did you guys see that study where it said 45 of men age 18 to 35 in this generation 0.97
00:03:12.220 haven't asked out a woman in person this is the most bitchless generation in history what that 1.00
00:03:17.420 means is the top five percent of guys are just taking everything that the 45 is afraid of talking
00:03:23.020 You like what you're doing?
00:03:45.020 Give it to your wife. 1.00
00:03:46.020 Have a great long weekend.
00:03:48.020 Alright.
00:03:49.020 And we know exactly why 45% of men are too afraid to ask out a girl.
00:03:53.140 It's because of social media and the accessibility of porn.
00:03:55.960 What are we going to do?
00:03:56.860 To be completely realistic about it, porn's not going anywhere.
00:04:00.000 Dating apps aren't going anywhere.
00:04:01.740 And women are always going to want to date the top guy. 0.95
00:04:04.400 First time I asked out a girl was 8th grade summer camp.
00:04:07.120 I was 14 years old.
00:04:08.580 Lean in for the kiss.
00:04:09.460 Got the win.
00:04:10.280 And I ran back to the dorm rooms, clicking my feet in the air like a cartoon.
00:04:14.080 But men are afraid.
00:04:15.280 Asking out a girl for the first time is scarier than getting into a fight. 0.53
00:04:19.020 and all these hopeless romantics are seeing girls post dms oh my god ew he wanted to send me a flower
00:04:25.740 why would these guys risk that humiliation ritual it's all the more motivation to get
00:04:30.460 rich and have seven girlfriends that your assistant needs to send flowers individually to 1.00
00:04:36.780 that's mine oh sorry man thank you you want to be my best are you funny
00:04:42.220 what's going on what's going on what's going on what's going on what's y'all doing for valentine's
00:04:47.340 day some who connecticut right now we're going to connecticut yeah then what's the connecticut
00:04:52.860 college there's maddie's in connecticut come on man yes there were times i'm sure you knew
00:05:03.420 When I bit off more than I could chew
00:05:09.820 But through it all, when there was doubt
00:05:16.400 I ate it up and spit it out
00:05:22.420 I faced it all and I stood tall
00:05:29.020 Yeah, of course, too many guys are cynical about this.
00:05:34.260 They have no assets, and they think that every girl is out to rob them blind.
00:05:38.080 But it's important to be realistic about it, too.
00:05:40.180 If you want the modest conservative wife, most likely you're not going to find that in the West.
00:05:45.120 That's a fact.
00:05:45.860 But we like living in the West.
00:05:47.280 It's the best.
00:05:48.540 Yeah, it'd be nice to have a modest conservative wife, but where are you even going to find that here? 1.00
00:05:53.000 Of course, you can go to other countries, search, become a really pious man of God, and give up all your vices.
00:05:58.460 But no guy in the West wants to do that once they make money
00:06:02.380 And it's nice to think that love isn't all about attraction
00:06:05.120 But men are gonna follow with a certain head always
00:06:09.280 And what they don't talk about is it's nearly impossible to find a girl
00:06:13.280 Who's gonna be there to support you while you're on the grind to the top
00:06:17.140 Finding a girl who not only understands what you do
00:06:19.900 But sees the vision and wants to be there with you through the sleepless nights
00:06:24.280 through all the tears and blood and sweat that goes into becoming great.
00:06:29.340 More than likely, it's going to be a lonely journey.
00:06:32.580 The old way sounds ideal.
00:06:34.080 You meet a girl, you give her a flower, then you happily are married forever.
00:06:38.300 But things have never been this bleak for the average man.
00:06:40.820 It's never been easier to get to the top.
00:06:42.840 But if you're not there yet, that life is absolutely depressing.
00:06:46.340 I mean, that's why you see guys like Pep Guardiola go through a divorce
00:06:49.580 because the ex-wife thinks that he was working too hard,
00:06:52.500 but then she takes half of his money that he worked so hard for that's why you see probably
00:06:57.380 the greatest athlete of all time cristiano ronaldo have kids and live with a woman that he's not
00:07:02.680 married to just to keep himself safe not ideal but these are hard times hey how you doing man
