What's up? What's up everybody? Happy Woe That's Good. Wednesday. I hope you're having a great week but per usual it's not to get so much better because we have one of y'all's favorite guests back on the podcast. I'm not even hyping him up too much because last year he was one of the biggest well that's good podcast episodes we had. Y'all loved hearing his story and so we have John Chris back on the podcast and co-host Christian. Let's go. We're back and I should say this right before we turned on the cameras you did say whoa that's good to your own comment. Wow and I don't know I don't know I thought it was for other people when they say something. Yeah normally that was that was a time I did hit hit me with my own tagline. Sometimes we'll be in the house she'll say something then she'll say well that's good. I never do that. You can't say that about your own advice. like crisp when it came out what did I even say it was pretty clean oh I said some advice you get from doing things the right way but most advice you get from doing things the wrong way yes like I wish I would have done that better so when I said it came out boom period stamp it and I was like well that was good it's yourself because I'm like do I not I have a problem with this I don't say things that are like clip worthy like I don't say things in like I don't either dang, like, you know. And I also don't think it's healthy to structure things in a way that you know, you know this is going to be cleansed. Yeah, how do they, how do they do that? I don't like that. I don't know how the pastors do that. Do they think they have it like in their bank? Well, back in the day, I would go like, oh, that's an inflection. It's, it's, they know. Do you know, they had that one? And then the social media team's like, that's the clip, this is gonna hit. And then they're looking right at the camera, what they do? My audience is loyal. They gotta wait for like minute two in the social clip to hear what I was actually going for. Oh, they go. She's gonna get to it. She'll get to it. Just give me some time. What we could do is, you know how sometimes people put the punchline at the beginning and then it flows into the clip. Yeah. Yeah. We should be taking notes over here. and then they go to the camera guy and they're like, hey, when I said this. Hey, minute 42, yeah. I don't know, would they do that or no? I mean, or the guy, like, who's gonna decide what clips on this? Him or you? Oh, well, they'll, they're gonna clip like 10 things, and they'll send it to our social media team, and they're gonna look through it. And nine out of ten times, it's gonna be something that's, because it came out, it's what the whole thing. I know it is. And I know it is. And I always, and I always, and I'm you know ten seconds long I went whoa that's good but this is not about me this is this podcast is not me Christians on the pod now yeah Christians is a co-host this is a big guy I'm a co-host he earned a co-host status he was pretty much on every episode now okay see my the biggest episode of my pod last year is when I got engaged and then like I just we talked about this before because you asked for me I was like I don't know if we're like Christian influencer couple status yet I don't know how you get there but you also said you don't know if you want to get there no I just like a like a content couple I don't know if that's what we she also had to work today but then I go back and forth on whether I should have had I never had her on the pot but the engagement but maybe after we get married I searched your podcast today to find an episode with y'all I was like, oh she hasn't been on. And then I was like, okay, so then what did I watch? The Engagement episode, which was great. But I watched it because this podcast, like, we are suckers for our relationship story. And the last time you were on the podcast, you were sharing a lot of your hard journey and it's really cool to see how far God has brought you, how much work you done to be where you're at. And then also that you're in this beautiful relationship. So, so cool. So cool, like, like that was so cool, that was so cool, that was only that was only last year, that was it. right. I'm just kidding. I'm not. Yeah it is like I think what's unique about it as I think what's unique about is like I always as a man I think you always want to be we talked about this a little bit a second ago about you want to be the guy that the woman follows right so there's this and I have been in times where I haven't been being the leader. You want to be the guy that the woman follows right so there's this and I have been in times where I haven't been being the leader. of whether it's like just you're like well you want to be the guy that you're not like sometimes like you have difficult conversations with your family you're like hey I'm in if you want to be the leader act like you're in charge of this house or like something like we had a we're looking for a house to buy any of this real estate agent like we just wasn't kind of meeting our needs and we're like she's found somebody and you go hey she's like call him That's like a difficult thing to you like hey you're the leader here like and it's like a little bit financial be like you need to call like if you I also want to be the guy that that deserves to be followed yeah that seems like too much advice I thought it's not too much it's not too much break the ice I don't like to yeah no here's the same thing we've literally just had these conversations but I just want to say to you and this what I was saying before when I was the reason I gave that great advice the reason I gave that great advice good moment. It's because I was saying to you like to be a Christian influencer couple that really is worth following it's to just be authentic and to share those wrestles. I think it's a disservice to the world and to people who are following you to act like you have it all together. People do not need perfect influencers. I need people who are honest and are like hey I'm struggling with this because yes like when you say that we're like same we've had those talks we've had those wrestles. I mean recently we were on the podcast and Christians shared about this argument about this argument about this argument about this argument about this argument we had this argument we had everyone was like thank you for sharing oh I got you I got you not like it here's how to do it but like here's how to do it but like here's what we're doing we just fumble our way through it yeah the hospital argument which actually everyone was taking up for a Christian because they were like Christian struggling I'll say actually as if that never happens I know we were very surprised because in the in the argument we had he basically said to me like testing what you want bro and walked down on me bad moment with like our daughter. We're always tough. Brutal. And then everyone's like sticking you up for Christian. He has feelings. He has feelings. I know he has feelings. The worst part was I didn't share this on the thing but we were at this hospital and I opened the door because I was so mad and the nurse was standing out there and I was just looking around and she was like, and she was like, So it was like 50 feet, 50 feet. So I just took two laps and I was just like, I'm still mad. Made another little loop. You just got to share where you're out. But we were you wrestled with that. We both talked about that a lot. I think like for us one thing we talked about is like the man's role to lead, but then sometimes as like women you have a leader type personality. Whereas like I'm sure Lydia does, like she's a news anchor, she's like, for me it's like I'll just make the call I'll just do the thing but then it's like okay but I want to respect you and I want you to lead this and like sometimes we get it right sometimes we get it wrong but we ultimately like have to come back to having these conversations of like I love how Bob Gough says it Bob Gough will like randomly just like clap out of nowhere and you're like why did you just do that and he told me he said because sometimes I need to like sink up in my life going like I'm saying something that's not going right. He's like stop like reset and it's kind of like that with us we're like okay and I said this to you recently I'm like I am trying to take the reins of this and I'm trying to lead it and I'm doing all this and I'm like I'm sinking up because I'm exhausted I don't want to carry this and this is me saying like can you do this and then Christian is like yes like I'm sorry I'm sorry I haven't seen that yet. Yeah I think it's just constant dialogue. I think the pendulum masculine, machismo, it's like, I'm leading everything. And then it's like, yeah, then it's like, you don't feel any autonomy to take it, to take action. You know? I wasn't trying to. I wasn't trying to. I like, uh, uh, sometimes I don't like to, like, like, I made a mistake on something, like, I made a mistake on something, right, or I made a, and I go, I'm nervous to like, say something non-consequential, but I'm, like, like, like, like, like, used against me. Like I let's say driving you made the wrong turn and you go well if I don't feel safe enough to be like hey I want to be the guy that navigates but I also screwed that up so if I this is going to be used against me for the next 10 years I'm not gonna admit you know because it's I think all of us see examples I go who do we know this is who do we know that's like has a good one marriage and I count I like four right it's like a lot you're like well I don't really like we see examples of like when it does get switched where like the one where the guys just my therapist says like needless wantless like he's not gonna say he's just gonna yep yeah and then you're like well I don't want one like that the man or the woman I don't think and then you're like happens that kind of and then you're scared of where your future could end up or like I don't want to be like that. Yeah no that's so real I think like I'm so grateful that we have such legacy of like long lasting good marriages and everything because I'm like that's so rare and that's why I like love having my parents on the podcast my grandparents on the podcast like just to show that because you really don't see that a lot of people don't see that in their homes model a lot people don't see that on the internet model and like If you don't have that within your family, I encourage people like get planted in a church because there's hopefully more of that, you know, as people are trying to follow the Lord that hopefully it would be model their marriage. That's not always case. Hopefully it would be. But it's so true. No, that's so real. Horrific advice on the internet. Terrible. Terrible. I'm talking. We try never to like send like see memes. If you're scrolling Tik-Toc he'll be like, well when he's acting this way that means he or when she's or when what and you go you could find anything to justify your way of thinking. Yeah, it's so true. for our family and this ended up being just the biggest win because the kids like it Christian and I like it and it's made with real clean ingredients that I feel great about keeping up with our routine and honestly some protein powders are hard to get down their chalky tastes weird or you have to like hide them in some messy mixture with 10 other things just to make it work Taylor Dukes Wellness protein is not that it is smooth the flavor is amazing and even though it's made with a hundred percent grass fed bone broth protein it doesn't taste like earthy bone broth broth at all I love mixing it into my smoothies or stirring it into yogurt you can put it in coffee but I also love like mixing in any kind of like muffin pack I'm making for the girls just to give it some better ingredients to it and some protein which is so great. TDW is clean tasty and the Huff family approved which is just a win for all of us. We love that it's also non-derry because honey doesn't do a lot of dairy and most protein powders are dairy in a way and so it's just so nice that they have no dairy options and it's just so nice that they have no dairy options and it's just so It really the quality is so so good TDW has their best offer right now use my link shop dot tailor dukes bonus dot com slash woe to save 15% off site wide anytime as usual Plus for the next 48 hours you can also unlock free US shipping on orders over $49 so check it out at shop dot taylor duke's bonus dot com slash woe You know what's interesting about our marriage is like we both don't have tic talk like download in our phone we only have never had to talk to talk about it that much but I hear this being like a common thing of like just seeing other marriages on Tik-Toc and how they operate and everything it's like you're not seeing other marriages you're seeing a clip in a moment and a thought process or whatever but it really does interfere so much so I think you do have to have like wise counsel and that is actually what this podcast is called well that's good when we first started the podcast we had a well that's bad segment yeah and we like read stuff perfect example. Because we're like not every piece of advice should be taken. There's bad advice like and you have to be able to discern when something's good and bad and go, this is something I'm gonna put in my life or that is something I am not going to live by so I think that's why. Or validate. Yeah. So take us back. How did you and Lydia meet? Okay. I made a video. I made a video in 20, maybe 21. it was like a prank video about, not a prank video, like a sketch video about, newscaster has a meltdown. So I was like in the snow. The video was like, why am I out here reporting on the snow? You can see it's snowing. Like why does the guy, I paid $80,000 for, it's my biggest viral video ever. It's like, back when eight years ago, the news, you're like, is this real news, now it's, everything's AI. There was like, I was like, I was like, this is ridiculous, this is ridiculous, I
