Matthew has the coolest vibe. I bet he’s such a fun guy to be around. Beautiful soul.
Agreed.
"We serve ourselves when we serve others", that is the truthful law of humankind... Love is our foundation.
Matthew McConaughey and Owen Wilson have to be the most chill men in the entertainment business.
Both from Texas.
Texas Strong!!
"There's always another disaster coming."
That's a very hard truth right there.
I honestly don't want him to be tainted by politics to that extent. I just want him to stay as he is. The political road is a terrible one to embark on. It sucks out your soul, or near kills it.
It’s a broken business
…but IF he can make the most difference that way, why not? as long as he doesn’t align himself (and end up straying away from his own path) with the likes of Donald Trump. He can align with the Democrat or as a Republican as long as he stays true to himself. A lot of Republican politician nowadays are aligning themselves with how Trump wanted to run the country… divided and empowering racist people to do their worst. Sickening to see Abbott kiss-ass on Trump! Same with Cancun Cruz!
You don't honestly think that about every politician right? Cause some of them, if not most.. Do what they do to make a difference with good intent.
We only get to see the people on top and all the shit around it.
@@diydari9404 No, the ones who would do that are filtered out. This is a power game, period. The higher you go up the ladder of hierarchy, the more probable the person in question is not a good person. Prove me wrong. I'll wait
@@diydari9404 @DIY Dari Meh... not all but far more than there should be and when I say it near kills the soul I do mean that it can be an incredible burden for those actually trying to conduct positive change, sometimes at their own detriment in some ways. I'm thankful towards that caliber of politician. willing to sacrifice aspects of their life in that fashion.
“we serve ourselves when we serve others”
“We serve ourselves when we do serve others.” -MM Now I need a shirt that says this great quote! Love you Matt! ♥️ You make Texas proud. 🙌🏼
👍🏾
Absolutely so very true..
i have lyrics that say, "giving to others is giving to ourselves"
Our military would disagree u liberal fck
@@beard18276 lmao cause the military is used by those in power. They mask it by saying you're serving your country when you really aint. And thats why you're salty
A room with Keanu and Matthew would be just so much fun
Poor Keanu. He’s so humble and polite he wouldn’t get to open his mouth at all.
He’s a preacher, I love this man 🥲😂
His book IS fantastic! On Audible, 10 glorious hours of him talking/storytelling. Very interesting guy.
Right!!
He needs to make movie's about the Dooley's and Wetdreams
He's always been a insightful human being.
Matthew is the best of the best, and I'm not just speaking of his talent alone. This man is a rare breed.
with denzel up there
He's quirky.
Mathew is so chill he’s def the coolest!!!
he has been a great actor, and now a great writer. also he is a good person as always. i just want to see him in more movies.
Journaling is not record keeping, it is for me a way to remember some whispered wisdom that would otherwise just be forgotten. Go matthew! great advise...
we serve ourselves when we serve others, that is a wise phrase!
I have ALWAYS loved this guy. He is adorable talking about family values. As a female Latina, he is wonderful at understanding LOVE is LOVE.
Just watched Dallas Buyers Club. This guy really put himself through it for that one.
I am so glad that you decided to put off the politics until your kids are grown. They need you the MOST right now and you have plenty of time later when you will be even wiser!
Wow! Matthew, you represent a lot of Texans...Educated, hard working, strong, wise, outspoken truth, integrity, honesty, and sense of humor. Well spoken All American. Glad you did not run for Governor now...family comes first. And White House means cleaning. You are definitely very smart. You know a lot about life and I like your way of thinking. I am a Senior and like your values. Clear, thoughtful and proud Texan. 🇨🇱
“Matthew McConaughey! I went to see your last movie, you owe me 8 dollas and 50 cents!”
Lmaooooo. He talks like a black preacher haha. Love it
I love how down to earth and the cool vibes he has to just always be cool
I love you bro! Also you’re a great actor!
I remember Matthew saved a life by CPR...he is a savior spirit inbody, fund raising overnight for victims...old me remembers Matt confronted by Po in his home for playing Bongos
Matthew McConaughey and his family flew into Texas just as Ted Cruz and his family were flying out. Priorities, man...
I Love You Matthew McConaughey
Love seeing talk shows again!
He's getting cooler as he gets older.
Love him so much!
Love his voice and his southern drawl.
I love listening to what he has to say
Ok. This actually makes sense... Journal your success for the tough times.
I agree w the journaling! I sometimes only write when things are bad and you have to write about both times
"There's another disaster coming" genious.
Genius? Wow, you're SMRT
@@titusmccarthywhat is this?
McConaughey looks like if Interview with the Vampire was filmed in the 50's. Minus the tan.
Great song! Grew up in a house that had a drawer of used wrapping paper. It was years before I could open a present ripping off the paper! There was actually some pretty cool old wrap in the drawer from the 50's.
I journal when cruising, it definitely helps. I wonder if others take this approach to self-care.
Matthew is a good moral person, I bet He learned those lines ( We serve ourselves when we serve others.) Mark chapter 10:42-45.
He reminded me of a movie I haven't seen in years, "8 Seconds" damn good movie, I need to find it.
I just watched How to lose a guy in ten days and seeing this interview made me happy for no reason
Omg watched it randomly on Saturday night. They don’t make romcoms like that anymore. Actually they don’t rly make romcoms anymore period😳
Thanks for reminding me that I need to be journaling, if I want to achieve my goals. Did that briefly for a while but did not keep up with it. Never too late to start. All right, all right, all right. 😁
That’s amazing all the awesome work he does love it 🥰🥰🥰
To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible...
We Need more Men (people) with your attitude! Thank you for helping those who need it most! Bought your book the day it came out and have your audiobook on order, all I need to make it complete, short of you being here, will be hearing your voice tell the tales. Thanks for being you😘🤗
“Alright, alright, alright…” + “You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.” = wish I could see Matthew, Woody and Willie hanging out enjoying some Maui Wowi, man.
Matthew one of my favorite actors! Check out "A Time to Kill".
Just watched it last week. BRILLIANT. That last courtroom speech of his made me cry. And shout out to Samuel L Jackson that’s his best role. Although the Sandra Bullock tease storyline was completely unnecessary. She didn’t even need to be in the movie that was so extra. It was a brilliant story on its own & book was even more brilliant. I grew up in the 90s I’m not sure how I missed this when it was in the theaters or all these years, especially as I loved the book, but I’m very glad I watched it.
I got Greenlights on Audible just soo I could listen to McConaughey read it to me!!! So good!
texan independent libertarian here.. dude id vote for you no question.
He and Denzel are just amazing in what they do for others. I hope neither runs for office-it might taint their messages which are so authentic.
My *God* what’s with the early 90s trailer park haircut, Matt? My eyes! I can’t unsee this.
I wish he was our governor. He is truly loved here in Texas.
When I was younger we opened Christmas Eve and that lasted until about 3:00 a.m. one
🐨 “Don’t let fear stop you from doing the things you love” 🐨✌️
Whatever he’s political view are, I’d vote for him. He has more humility/love for people then those currently in office.
Thats the correct way to view it. When you're loyal to a party then your choices are limited to voting for a potential horrible person.
Vote for decent people, regardless of party.
is it me? Matthew looks fantastic as he gets older, if he runs for president I hope he doesn't change
alright alright alright
I got this notification, Im here so early and dont know what to comment 😂 but shout out to Matthew, he's a great actor!
Ps: Spider man movie is on today!!!
And we have the Persian translation of book in Iran. Congratulations 🎉
🚦ALRIGHT,ALRIGHT,ALRIGHT🚦HAPPY HOLIDAYS MATTHEW & YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY . WE SIMPLY ADORE YOU . SENDING HEAPS OF LOVE 💕. FROM BYRON AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺🙏🏼.
I'm glad you didn't run. I think you are helping others. Keep going please.
Mathew is a hero.
This man would’ve been a fantastic governor. And I never usually say that about celebrity politicians.
Another governor spreading falsehoods about the COVID and the COVID vaccines? No thank you.
@@tylerkochman1007 who cares? There’s other things involved in being gov 🤡
@@tylerkochman1007 because he said he'd prefer to wait before he allows it into his kids bodies?
@@tylerkochman1007 What falsehood did he exactly spread?
Saying he'd like to wait before giving it to his children is not falsehood.
Check your facts before spewing lies.
@@tylerkochman1007 😂😂
"Want a beer and bud Matt...?" "Sure." Very charismatic guy.
Amazing book from an amazing dude. ✊🏼
Mr. McConaughey is such a great person. Decent, humble, likeable. He has to be loved from everybody.
his voice is just too cool man. makes you wanna listen to the man the whole day.
Great Motivational Speaker without being Authoritative!!!🧐😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Great actor,True Detective was awesome.
Heey Cooper youre best, and jimmy 💪
I would LOVE to see Matthew McConaughey as Richard Petty in a NASCAR Movie
Such a life guru ❤️
Love the book
Amazing Man
he’s so wise and cool
What a man, what a man, what a mighty mighty man. Fell in love with him in Interstellar.
What about the 30 years worth of iconic movies he was in before that🙄🙄🙄 you must be 12
alright, alright, alright :) Green lights!
Matthew rocking the Lord Farquad hairstyle
I love him!!!!
I am watching this after watching the SNL skits of Matthew. They were right on.
Matthew McConaughey can help the State of Texas by remaining an actor and continuing to teach.
Be occasional actor but continue being a writer of his Knowledge for others to read about great minds. His wisdom is inspiring and leave us his books for years to come.
valuable lesson here
Thank you for all the wisdom Matthew McConaughey 🙏
his book changed my life
Jimmy dare you to say Merry Christmas!
Because rough words will make others, disgust and fear, so they can't speak
I love him so hard
bro looks like farquad in the thumbnail lol
I love his voice
@stacy bishop. -I have had lunch with him multiple times he is my sister in laws friend (family friend). Btw he loves. TORCHES TACOS. And i did take his acting class at UTU. AUSTIN TX. I live on south congress and when he gets done working sometimes we go out to eat. He is a ver humble and funny guy. Very generous and amazing as well. But again he dose love his fans but no to much confrontation he said “sometimes i forget who i am and it overwhelms me”. He dose love the community and fans but his vibe is amazing
Matthew is such a wonderful honest motivator. He tells it, like it is. No honey sugar coating. He is truly one in a miillion to watch. He will not steer you wrong..
He's smooth as a person.
Matthew Mcconaughey for president 2024🇺🇲
Good idea write it down, then can sell a book but I'm scared I will ruin my thing. That's more precious to me.🤠
Matthew's suit is so damn cool
Still looking sharp, Matthew!
All hollywood actors are honest, well adjusted rational humans, hahahahaha
we serve ourselves when we do serve others
Come back to Austin Jimmy!!
Clearly it was not in fact...alright alright alright. His essence is contagious.
W O W. Just wow 💘
I keep thinking that mullets are like 30 years out of date and then I keep seeing discount Brock Samson’s and everyday I find myself more confused that we are literal days away from 2022
No matter how hard he tries mullets will *never* be attractive or not ugly, and they will not come back
