Drunk Dialing Fans — Celebrating The 100th Podcast Episode! (#103)

Your podcast is amazing Tim. Turned many a friend and family member on to listen. Also dropped a considerable amount of weight from The Four Hour Body. Big Fan. Keep inspiring.

Already at 100?? Seems like just yesterday we were hearing from Josh.

Way to go my friend. Keep up the great work, these ideas are adding fuel to the fire of self development/improvement. And, as for your interviewing skills you have grown in leaps and bounds. Your ability to get people into their comfort zone, to tease out their best secrets, is becoming more prominent with each episode. One cannot thank you enough for what you are bringing to the public eye, a true social justice to say the least.

Prosit!

Thanks for your work Tim. You are a real inspiration to many of us, thanks again for what you do. Just re-listened to your Ramit Podcast, where you discussed your thoughts on your email list and he mentioned a few of his. Any plans to change things down the line?

Great Podcast! Congrats on 100!!

You asked for suggestions on a prospective guest & I’d like to propose Roger Federer!

Many thanks and many blessings!!

Hey Tim,

your Podcast is absolutely awseome! I really enjoy the way you ask questions and I have improved myself so much after listening to your interviews. For example I started my own morning routine (which involves meditating and journaling) and followed so many of the book recommendations….so Thank You!

I stopped ejaculating for 6 months in January of 2003. I went the entire year of 2004 without ejaculating. I had substantial quantities of sex both by myself and with others during that time.

It transformed me.

My whole body is alive in a way it was not before.

The transformation continues to this day. Three days ago my wife spent 10 minutes in the morning pleasuring me with her hand. I remained in a subtly orgasmic state for two days.

It is some of the hardest work you will ever do to master it and get over the hump from suffering to bliss. It is some of the most worthwhile. It changes everything. Not just your sexual responses.

Having a knowledgeable guide is not unhelpful.

In my observation of this episode, you seem to be struggling with the belief that in order to have children you must be in a monogamous relationship. I know of one women who is struggling with the same belief. Why not find a women who is interested in an open relationship? Or do you prefer that she is mongamous? Loved the personal side of this episode!

Guten Tag!

I’m stoked with the speed you’ve been churning out your episodes.

You must be having fun! There is a lot to learn. Keep it coming.

Thank you for everything you do Tim. My wife and I were talking over dinner last night about how you have impacted our lives. The podcast, the Tim Ferriss experiment, all 3 books have given us so much inspiration to never stop learning or experimenting. Your podcasts especially have taught me so much, most importantly to “start meditating and chill the fuck out”. I am hardly able to express how grateful I am for all the hard work you do, just know it’s greatly appreciated and keep it going!!

Hi Tim. You’re a smart guy but not sure why you think being drunk is something of value to promote. Sounds like you still need to learn a few more things. But no worries, you’ll get there. xo

Easy does it, Mr. Ferriss!! You’re in rare form.

I love your podcasts and just listened to the revised version of The 4-Hour Workweek; after implementing much of the first in several aspects of life. One question – What have you done for me lately? Your fans are awaiting for your next sensational manifestation!!

Thank you for sharing your insights and pouring so much energy into inspiring others. You’ve had a profound impact on how I’ve operated at the Board level in Fortune 200 companies for years. Now I’m in Miami Beach retiring for a year and focusing on a Yoga Instructor’s certification, Spanish language, writing and manifesting a second chapter of life!

I love what you say about being comforatable in your own process, even when it is uncomfortable. Sometime when we go down the rabbit hole, it’s difficult to find the light. Sort of like spelunking!

Kisses on the forehead for your headache. No doubt you have one.

Congrats on 100! WOW. That’s significant!

I was one of those Google ad book title clickers as you were testing your 4 -hour title and I’ve been paying attention ever since. The books, always reading the blog and hear the podcast right away. The podcast has been a treat!

I love podcasts and your show gave me the oomph to start my own podcast this April (it’s called Spark My Muse).

Here’s to another great 100 shows. Best wishes and warm regards!

-Lisa

P.S. Fun episode…and you don’t sound too hammered. 🙂

I’ve learnt so much from Ferriss FM this last year, listening to every episode – we’re so lucky you’re putting yourself out on air like this Tim, raw and uncut, and how much we get to know you through that over and above books.

And interesting to observe my own wavelength evolving through the consistent following: decision-making, frameworks, habits, perspectives, contentedness. Thanks for being the main muse Tim. Hoping one day to get the chance to give you a hearty handshake in person on the streets of SF somewhere. Congrats on the 100th!

Hey Tim,

Happy 100th! Congratz.

Just quickly, you mentioned some climbing movie that I couldn’t quite catch (miru?).

Thanks in advance!

Please consider having Dr. Atul Butte on the podcast. He is a UCSF physician and bioinformatics researcher with fascinating ideas about the future of medical science and research, especially the emerging role of tech in this process. Also, as a young academic researcher, I selfishly want to hear more about how he runs his team and organizes his time.

Dear Tim,

“It was simplicity itself: Contact three seemingly impossible-to-reach people – and get at least one to reply to three questions.” I just finished reading your book, The 4-Hour Workweek, and knowing that you only rarely on occasion check email, am hoping to reach you on your blog. I was really inspired by your work, and am hoping to connect with you, if you would spare me a couple minutes of your time through email.

Thanks!

Tim, “22 Immutable Laws” Line extension chapter says you shouldn’t remove products / services under the same brand name. The Tim Ferriss brand is a lifestyle coach, fitness expert, worlds greatest guinea pig, Guinness world record holder, angel investor, talk show host – podcasts/TV series, top list author, speaker, one of the most followed blogs and a gazillion other awesome things. What am I not seeing/getting since you have broken this law and proved otherwise?

When you’re drunk…and someone asks why you’re not married yet

Great podcast hope you do this more often. Question where is the info about meditation and looking toward the sky. I checked the Sam Harris podcasts and could not find it.

cheers,

Aloha Tim,

Loved the discussion you had with the woman married for 31 years who rediscovered her faith. This year my wife and I celebrate 30 years and I too have practiced TM so I can relate to the discussion. I did TM because I returned to college at 35 I needed mental support, and the research on TM was promising. Last year I went back for a refresher and was a little disappointed to find the teachers to be basically the same, with the same, or maybe even worsening, anxieties. I’m a Hawaiian priest but also have a degrees in economics and comparative religion and have studied Buddhism and other religious practices to gain understanding and to communicate respectfully with other faiths. Qualifying what I’m about to say with the awareness that no legitimate practice encourages denial, I have found much of TM to be entry level practices when compared to Buddhist practice. I don’t mean this in a disparaging way as TM was very valuable to me. Yet the practice which is fundamentally a calm abiding practice irregardless of the siddhi, or special power, such as yogic flying. It lacks the other wing, or analysis,both of which are applied to wisdom.

I can also relate to the guru aversion as the way the guru role is often practiced, but the real, less sexy, meaning of guru is light that acts as a mirror to reveal to yourself the light within you. It is if I may be so bold is what you do and have done for many including myself. But it is also what Bruce Lee tried to do through combat and what Brother David Steindl-Rast was able to do with the Green Berets in the book In Search of The Warrior Spirit. A true guru is a revealer, and empowers, people like you, Noah Kagan, Ramit Sethi, and many others you associate with try to do. If you were a Buddhist monk I imagine you would be much like another hero of mine, Ryokan. Not because he loves sake and wonderment but because he taught by his being. Mahalo for who you are and all you do.

You’d be the perfect single-dad Tim! Adopt a boy and rock single-life together. It’ll be Indy and Shorty all over again 🙂

Congrats Tim… I absolutely loved this episode!

I read that you do not do one to one training. That counts also for tantric sex ? Lol

Tim congratulations on 100 episodes! Awesome achievement and keep up the work and the value you deliver to all of us.

Loved this Tim. Love your heart, your compassion, your childlike self. Your ‘naive’ (that’s a compliment) childlike innocence is such a unique and beautiful gesture you offer. It stands out in contrast to the greed and cyniscm many of us expect. Thoughts I had during listening:

Melatonin is the supplement pretty much everyone should avoid. There are many papers written on this. Don’t fuck with the pituitary gland! It’s the conductor of the orchestra! Flap some gentle butterfly wings up there with some symptom removing supplemental melatonin that makes you feel great – and unleash an invisible cascading domino effect of a cyclone all through the intricate complex and unknown endocrine system, creating major problems in your future. Don’t do it! I also thought to include multi level marketing supplements, I know thats a sweeping statement and in a huge industry like the US there are no doubt exceptions – but in our smaller country every now and then a huge MLM fad will sweep the general public about a particular cure all supplement. That on closer inspection by a learned fellow reveals it’s a whole load of expensive nothing, based on fabricated non science, designed to make a few people rich, nothing more. The MLM folds a couple of years later and the supplement is nowhere to be found.

Now to the important bit. Preserving ejaculation! Was really sad to hear you felt not to persist with this. Perhaps some misconceptions – you do NOT need the woman to depress your perineum for you. Thats too hard. You can do this yourself. Doing it yourself means you know how much pressure and where. One also can simply squeeze and contract the perineum and buttocks without pushing with fingers at all – with practice this is all you need to do to seperate the orgasm and ejaculation. it’s harder than simply applying the manual pressure with fingers, but it’s an amazing level of control and pleasure ot have once you get there. Unlike many you’ll already have the strength there, so in your case it will just be practicse combined with breathing to slow down before you pass the point of no return.

DO NOT EJACULATE! You, O Tim Ferriss master of efficiency and improvement – this ONE single action will revolutionise your whole life. You’ll be so, so much more than you know, by retaining all the life essence.

Have you any IDEA, males, how MUCH physical, mental, emotional energy and nutrition is LOST FOREVER when you ejaculate! Don’t do it! Save it! Restrain it! One will be thousands of times more CREATIVE, HAPPIER, with more LIFE FORCE every DAY by not ejaculating. Please Tim, it takes Tim to get there, sure, but learning a language is much more difficult. This one is just a habit, a new approach. Please don’t get stuck in the comfort of ‘it’s too hard’ . You can have your orgasm and eat it too. Er, I mean…[cough] well, you know 😉

Your truly an awesome role model that I wanna follow, thanks for inspiring me on becoming a better human..will love to have a book signed

Hey Tim!

First of all, you are simply awesome!! Second, how do I sign up for a chance to be drunk dialed?! Thanks 🙂
