Being a GREAT guest, not just a GOOD guest
29 Aug
I’ve bummed at friends places….
And I’ve had friends bum at my place…..
And there’s a distinct difference between certain guests.
Some flat-out suck. They don’t get to stay again.
Some are good. They’re cool.
Some are GREAT. I actually PREFER having them over!
Noah and I talk about the differences…..and how to be a GREAT guest:
Yes, children, don’t forget to always send condoms after staying at someones house.
You may want to add sending birth control patches…
Loving the randomness/diversity of these posts – ’tis making me a regular.
Some of the stuff about cleaning up, buying/replacing food and doing a little something nice seems a bit obvious – but that’s probably because I have the whole Asian female thing going (hey, we’re allowed to be racist/sexist here on Nevblog right? Don’t be fooled, in real life, I will feminist the sh*t out of you).
I liked Noah’s idea about the cleaning gift card. About being a great guest and buying tix/ planning stuff to do, that works if you’re an all-out extrovert (like Neville), but for some people it might put them in a weird spot if they already have plans without you (and they don’t want to invite YOU along in return).
Thanks for a fun 8:57 minutes of procrastination.
Glad you enjoy :-)
We’re gonna put out one a week!
I think since we’re Asian we have the cleaning up thing down….but I’m often shocked when I have a “Regular White Guy” staying over and they just throw crap around.
….so it’s good to just be totally up-front about it first!
fantastic issues altogether, you simply gained a logo new|a new} reader. What could you suggest in regards to your put up that you simply made a few days in the past? Any positive?
Great Dojo Man!
I think you can adapt the topic “being GREAT not GOOD” to alotta things in life… not just the guest kinda thing.
People will notice if you are a GREAT friend, GREAT guest, GREAT host, GREAT employee …………… !
That’s VERY true.
You know how when two people are talking and they say, “You know who’s pretty amazing…..Arik.”
….you WANT to be that guy :-)
Hey guys!
Good to finally see a new video! I’m looking forward to the weekly updates.
Nev, let me stay at your place! I’d be the best house guest ever, I swear.
I’ll cook you up some homemade burritos, clean your apartment, drive you around in my sweet rental car, be your spotter at the gym, be your wingman at the clubs, be your shoulder to cry on, take you out somewhere you didn’t even know existed in Austin, tell you lame jokes, and I’ll even make my bed.

Lol……sounds like a good guest!
Yay, dojos every week for the rest of the year!!!
Aannnd Noah’s blogging on OkDork again too!
What’s gotten in to you two?
Well they were really fun to do….but then we just lost the momentum of them. Didn’t feel as fun NOT connecting to everyone once in a while.
Let us know if you wanna see something in particular!

I clean, make the bed, and do the dishes! (Not that I’m trying to win a free stay at your place.)
Good! Although I think it’s INSTINCTIVE in Asian people :-)
