So I Said Pod With Dylan Sellers
So I Said Pod With Dylan Sellers
I Don't Listen To Podcasts
So I said, I don't really watch or listen to other people's podcasts. Dirty little secret. I don't. They're a bit long. And maybe that's why my podcasts are about 10 minutes long. Because that's about all the attention that I give to podcasts. Like you, you have to have so many other things going on, for me to listen to a podcast that's longer than 15 minutes. Like, it has to be over the top with visuals and like I got to be able to see it, right. Like, I'm not gonna sit and listen to a Joe Rogan podcast or a Joe Budden podcast, because they be like two hours long, I can't do it, right? I consume a lot of my content. In short bursts, like most of you, right? Like, you might get like a minute and a half out of me, like 15 -20 minutes. I don't listen to a lot of sermons for the same reason. Let me let me. So check. My friends know that if they send me a sermon, I'm probably not going to watch it. These are my friends who are like in my accountability group, like the guys who are supposed to be like helping me feed spiritually. They send me a sermon, and they know off top, that is not gonna watch this. This is for everyone else in the group, because it hits a 45 minute mark, and do still talking, I'm done. Because you put like six sermons in one sermon. The only exceptions that I have. They're very, very few, right? Bishop Paramore, who is my cover and can get away with it. But I have to be in person. And he don't talk for 45 minutes, he gave you a high 30. And he's out of there. Darius Daniels is another one that I listened to. He can give me 45 minutes. But after I've watched two of his sermons, I'm done with him for six months. It's just a fact. Right? I don't care what he said. Like he could be changing my life I've done for like six months, because I can't handle all of the information. The only other person that I've been like, really, really into is Tony Evans. But Tony Evans hit you with like, 25-30 minutes. It's like a half hour TV show that I can really get. He hit the Bobo boom, these points, and they're out of there. I can't. It's too much. Too much information, bro. Way, way too much information. And so why am I talking about this? I don't know. I felt like you needed to know why my podcast was only like, 10 minutes long. This is why, my attention span ain't that long. And maybe I have a whole lot to say about the topic that I'm talking to you about right now. But I trailed off in about 10 minutes. I could probably talk more. I've preached sermons that were longer than that. But I don't count that as me. You know, I'm saying, if you just dealing with Dylan's, intellect, I'm uninterested at minute 15. And that's what happens. This is why I don't listen to other people's podcasts. It's not because you don't have a great podcast. I'm sure you do. And I'm sure it's a whole lot of fun. And I would laugh and all of that. And you probably got a great list of podcasts that I should listen to. But I'm not gonna listen to them. But I hope you listen to mine.
It's the dualities in the world for me, you know what I mean? It's the things that you just kind of have to, you kind of have to deal with. I don't really want to listen to your podcast, but you should listen to my podcast. It's only gonna take you 10 minutes, but you're trying to give me 45. No, thank you. And so that's, you know, the other reason that my podcasts are so short is because I tried the podcast thing before. And it lasted about 45 minutes, 30 -45 minutes, and my wife wouldn't listen to them. My wife! The person who lives at home with me wouldn't listen to the podcast. She would say "Bae, it's too long. I got bored." And I say some really pretty good stuff, I think. Right? But she's like, you know, it's just, it's just a lot of information. I don't, I don't really want to listen to it. She wouldn't listen to it. One of my best friends wouldn't listen to it Leslie, she wouldn't listen to it either. She said just just too long, bro. I'm not gonna do it. Don't really like podcasts or like that. Anyway, I'll support you. I'll share your content, but I won't be listening to the podcast. It's a podcast, bro. You sharing my content and not listening to it. Don't really help me right? Like, I need you to be an avid listener, a fan, if you will. But they listened to this hot 5 to 10 minutes though! Hey, I listen to your podcast. It was it was really good. You know, you could have said more and that's what you want from A podcast listener. That's the one. You want people to be like, hey, no, I was really into what you were saying. You could have said more, I wanted more. Great. Listen to the next podcast episode. I'm not making them longer, just not a thing that's happening. The only long form content you're going to get from me will come with a visual, because I'll be interviewing somebody, and it'll be a conversation. If you're expected to get a 45 minute podcast for me on any topic. No, thank you. Not a thing. Now, if you come to my church, and you want to hear a sermon, you might catch a hot 20-25 from me, right? I'm not even I'm not gonna give it to you. I can't, bro. Like, you're asking me to give you 45 minutes and tic toks are a minute and a half, bro. Like, you're not listening to the whole - or it's like, You're not listening to a whole Martin Luther King speech. You're just not doing it. It take you a week and a half to read one, let alone sit and listen to him talk for hour and a half. It's just not happening. You not with it. And so like, why am I going to do it? Because then imma be frustrated, you gone get two minute 15 and cut it off. And now like, all of that content that I produce for the other 30 minutes is out the window. This is a thing that has frustrated me, obviously. But it's okay, because I'm with it. Because then I can produce less content and give it to you in a form that you can digest it. And that's why you love me. Yeah, I said it. You love me. And that's good. Because I'm lovable. And that's all I got to say about this. This has been so sad. And I just did. Amount.
