All right, what's up? We're live, playing to win episode number 72, talking about cancel
00:00:08.080
culture, manosphere, aka the manoswamp, top G, red pill, et cetera, et cetera. It'll be
00:00:16.660
fun one today. Make sure you hit the like button if you're just coming on in and enable
00:00:25.000
that and throw some comments in the live chat if there's anything you guys want to ask
00:00:30.660
me because I'm basically leaving the questions up to you guys if you want to direct this to
00:00:37.880
talk about a certain topic. Just hit me up with a chat or a super chat or whatever you
00:00:42.680
want and I'll keep an eye open for anything and try to make sure I hit on it so we touch
00:00:46.280
on as much as possible. But I want to talk about cancel culture first because it's like
00:00:53.220
guys, cancel culture ain't new. Cancel culture ain't freaking new. It is some old ass shit.
00:01:00.260
I'm going to stand up for this podcast. It is some old ass shit. It's been going on for
00:01:04.540
a while. They've tried to come at quite a few people. We've seen what happened to Andrew
00:01:10.960
recently and who have they been successful with? They've canceled the President of the
00:01:21.460
United States. That was pretty impressive. You'd think of all people, you wouldn't get
00:01:27.960
canceled if you were a president, but boom. You got social media taken away. Alex Jones,
00:01:34.340
Milo Yiannopoulos, Stefan Molyneux, Andrew Tate. There's probably a bunch of others, but it's not
00:01:40.700
new. It's been going on for a while. Trying to remove voices doesn't silence them.
00:01:49.880
Trying to move ideas doesn't get rid of them. All it does is it proves the accuracy of those
00:01:58.340
concepts, if we're being honest. Did Alex Jones go away? As far as I know, he's still around.
00:02:08.300
Most of these people are still out and about. Donald Trump is still claiming he's going to
00:02:12.200
be running for president. Whether he does or he doesn't, I don't know. I think that guy's days
00:02:18.360
are over, if we're being honest. He kind of had his opportunity and he screwed it up.
00:02:22.620
Who's that new guy that seems to be getting a lot of traction? DeSantis, right? He seems like an
00:02:30.600
interesting candidate for presidential switch over from demented asleep Joe. Somebody shared a clip
00:02:41.540
the other day. I saw on Twitter and the caption was something like, I don't know, when the edible
00:02:46.880
kicks in and he's sitting there after signing something and he's like, he doesn't know where
00:02:50.540
he is. And he's kind of like, he just passes the pen over to a random dude. He's shaking the hands
00:02:54.140
of people that aren't there. Man, the world's a strange place. But yeah, cancel culture, right?
00:03:00.560
So, they'll try to remove you when they don't like what you say. Let me share a couple stories
00:03:10.220
with you, actually. I don't know if I've mentioned this publicly much or before on the channel. I've
00:03:17.580
probably talked about it privately with a couple of my bros. But so, back in my debt business around
00:03:25.180
2010, the Canadian dollar was at par with the U.S. dollar. And there were some legislative changes
00:03:32.360
that happened in the U.S. about a year or two before that. And what ended up happening was a lot
00:03:36.980
of the American companies saw an opportunity to not promote their services in a country that didn't
00:03:41.500
have the same legislation as what was in the U.S. So, they started basically running the same
00:03:46.460
advertising campaigns that got them in so much trouble in the U.S. a few years prior. I was a
00:03:52.880
largest Canadian player at that time. But there were a lot of American companies with very deep
00:03:58.500
pockets. You know, the U.S. marketplace is quite a bit bigger than Canada's. And they started
00:04:02.800
purporting the same sort of promises, hopes, and dreams to Canadian citizens. And they flat out lie.
00:04:08.680
Like, they would say things like, you know, there's a new government program sort of thing,
00:04:11.740
which is one of the catchphrases which really caught their attention. So, credit card companies,
00:04:16.860
banks, and even media personalities, and the government got behind writing new
00:04:22.780
legislation to cancel the industry that I was operating in. And the process took about
00:04:30.220
two and a half, three years, I would say. And they were successful in getting the legislation passed
00:04:36.160
and implementing it. And they legitimately canceled an entire industry, which for the most part,
00:04:45.160
the ones that were operating above board were very, very helpful in eliminating debt, improving credit
00:04:51.280
ratings, helping people get back on their feet. Incredibly helpful, in fact. But that just showed
00:04:57.600
me, like, that was one of the red-pilling moments for me. That was like a big unplugging moment for me.
00:05:03.780
And I was like, holy shit, like, you can be doing the right thing. You can save people a lot of money.
00:05:08.800
You can lead them down a brighter path. You can improve the credit rating. But the credit card
00:05:14.280
companies in the banks had so much power, so much influence, that regulators just said,
00:05:20.700
oh, okay, you know, let's do this because this should be better. And they don't think...
00:05:27.120
One of the things I learned about government at that time, because I went down to Queen's Park for
00:05:30.380
about two and a half years, I was leading this trade organization. And I dealt with lobbyists.
00:05:35.780
We had to hire lobbyists. We spent 60 grand on lobbyists and stuff like that.
00:05:38.840
And I'm meeting all the policymakers and regulators. Canadians watching this stream will
00:05:44.180
know the name Jagmeet Singh, because he's the leader of the NDP party here. And he was the
00:05:49.280
critic to the bill, which was called, I think, Bill 55 at the time. And I met with Jagmeet Singh
00:05:55.300
several times. And he's not the person on screen that he holds himself out to be, you know, to care
00:06:02.840
about people and, you know, the little guy and that sort of stuff. And I experienced the same thing
00:06:07.420
with all the others that I met as well. They're more concerned with their positions, their tenure,
00:06:14.520
their seat in office, and stuff like that. They don't really care about what's good for the
00:06:18.060
little guy. So that was another big red pill moment for me. So when they tried to cancel the
00:06:21.880
industry and were successful at it, pretty much everybody had to shut down and fold.
00:06:26.900
I'm not a dummy. And I've got a great lawyer. And we went through the legislation. There's no point
00:06:31.700
in trying to fight legislation was another outcome of that. So we went through all the legislation.
00:06:35.160
And we found a carve out that was suitable and we pivoted and survived. Most people don't survive
00:06:43.120
canceling. Most industries, most companies, they just don't. It's very, very difficult if nearly
00:06:49.600
impossible. You haven't seen Alex Jones back on mainstream social media. I don't think Donald
00:06:57.220
Trump's got anything back. He went and created his own social media platform. What other names out
00:07:03.800
there? Miley Annapolis has kind of disappeared in the woodwork. And I guess we'll see what happens
00:07:09.280
with Andrew as far as his cancellation. I mean, most Google guy on the planet at one point. I checked on
00:07:18.100
Google Trends. I've got a shortcut for Google Trends because I always keep an eye on what's trending out
00:07:22.880
there. And I think I compared Tate versus Kim Kardashian versus Joe Rogan versus Elon Musk.
00:07:31.400
I tried to think of some big names. And he's right. There were more searches trending than any of those
00:07:37.900
other names. And he got caught up in the whirlwind of all that and cancel culture came. And they won
00:07:44.740
because they own the platforms. They own the distribution of media. A few years ago, I had
00:07:51.620
I had a tweet that went out that went really viral that got picked up on morning shows, stuff like
00:07:57.480
I don't think it went on The View, but like morning shows around the world like that, you know, where
00:08:01.700
it's a bunch of women sitting around the table talking about stuff and they'll find like soundbites
00:08:05.040
and clips. And there's a tweet that I put out and ended up on a whole bunch of pieces of
00:08:10.620
like media outlets and stuff like that. There's a tweet that said something along the lines of,
00:08:15.800
you know, ladies, if you want to keep a guy, be feminine, be beautiful, have culinary skills,
00:08:21.420
just basic stuff, you know, stuff that, you know, your grandmothers would have been told telling like
00:08:26.800
their great granddaughters or their granddaughters, you know, 50 years ago or something like that.
00:08:30.780
Nothing outrageous. And they tried to cancel me. It was it was really funny because
00:08:34.680
I got this this message from my office and they were they were basically coming up and going like,
00:08:44.940
oh, is this Richard Cooper, the guy that works at Total Debt Freedom sort of thing? I don't
00:08:48.340
I was like, so like I founded the business 20 years ago. What are you going to do? You try to
00:08:52.520
can't they legitimately try to cancel me. They legitimately try to cancel me for my own company,
00:08:56.560
which I thought was hilarious. So that brings me to anti-fragility, actually, since
00:09:02.120
that's an important concept here. What's Mike said here? Camilla Harris would get destroyed in an
00:09:08.960
election. I don't know. I don't know about the state of elections, man. It's like it's a real
00:09:15.880
funny thing, man. Yeah. But anti-fragility is really, really important. So there's a concept of
00:09:24.120
fragility, robustness and anti-fragility. Got this from a book called Anti-Fragile. I actually did a,
00:09:32.120
book review. This was around the time when I was doing book reviews on my channel. I should
00:09:37.920
there's there's so many good books out there. Anyway, I see these book reviews and I did one
00:09:44.500
on anti-fragile. There's a video on my channel. I think it was in the M3 at the time. And these
00:09:49.160
three concepts of anti-fragility, robustness and fragility. Fragility is basically if like if I
00:09:54.220
take I don't have anything glass here, but if I were to take a glass cup and drop it on the floor,
00:09:59.200
it would probably shatter. That's that's fragile. Most things in the world are either fragile or
00:10:05.000
robust. Robustness is taking like a bag of sand. If I take a bag of sand and I drop it on the floor,
00:10:10.260
nothing happens to it. It doesn't break. It doesn't get worse. It doesn't get better. Nothing
00:10:14.400
happens to it. And then there's a concept of anti-fragility. Anti-fragility is when you apply
00:10:19.400
chaos to something and it actually improves. So when the financial institutions, the credit card
00:10:28.000
companies, the government came for my industry around 2010 and passed the legislation a few
00:10:34.280
years later, my business became anti-fragile because it improved to the point where the
00:10:40.540
legislation basically removed the competitors, the change in the economic landscape with the
00:10:45.600
value of the Canadian versus U.S. dollar change things. And they either went out of business,
00:10:50.040
they sold their book of business, they some pivoted, not very many, but most didn't didn't
00:10:55.580
actually improve. My business is one of the few that actually improves. So anti-fragility
00:10:59.720
looks like that. Anti-fragility looks like applying chaos to something and it gets better.
00:11:04.420
So in regards to our friend, the top G, an example of anti-fragility is if he actually gets
00:11:11.000
better. I watched that, was it the final word or a final word from a tape the other day?
00:11:17.860
Um, how can I put this? It was an interesting video to watch because it was totally different
00:11:28.320
from all the, um, interviews and the TikTok clips and all that sort of stuff. One of the
00:11:33.820
things I liked about Andrew is, um, he takes ownership. He takes extreme ownership, I think
00:11:42.740
is the best way to put it. I think Jocko Wilnick, you know, uses the same phrase, but it's like,
00:11:45.680
you know, one of the things he said was something along the lines, if I got struck by lightning,
00:11:48.420
I would, I would take the blame for that. And, you know, if you think about that for a second,
00:11:52.980
are you the kind of person that would blame the weather? Are you the kind of person that
00:11:55.640
would blame mother nature, whatever it may be, or are you the kind of person that would look in
00:12:00.880
the mirror and say, that was stupid. Why did I go outside during an electrical storm with an
00:12:06.880
umbrella or with a golf club or something like that, or standing under a very tall tree, for example,
00:12:11.400
that would be your fault. And he's right. Uh, not many people take extreme ownership in that sense.
00:12:18.040
So there's a few things that I liked about that, um, video that he did. Uh, like you say that you're,
00:12:24.400
um, a victim of your own success. And I guess he's right because your, um, your entire affiliate
00:12:36.140
network network was what created the, um, the reach, you know, got you the, uh, trending page
00:12:41.460
of, um, Google, uh, for your name and all those clips were made. And the vast majority of those
00:12:47.580
clips, I mean, if we're being honest, they had the HU affiliate link in them from what I saw.
00:12:51.280
Um, some of them were taken out of context, but the vast majority were from that program. So
00:12:56.640
that the, the cancellation and the, uh, you know, the movement into the next chapter, um,
00:13:02.780
what does it call it? Uh, step two, um, you know, version 2.0 or 3.0, wherever he happens
00:13:09.020
to be that, that next step will be like the, um, you know, like, like sunlight distills all,
00:13:17.440
you know, if you know what I mean? Like it sanitizes all the bullshit. And then it's like,
00:13:20.720
you know, you can't hide in any shadows when you're in, you know, the direct sunlight. So
00:13:24.120
it's like, okay, well, this is where you get to. And there's a lot going on right now with
00:13:31.040
the Mano Swamp, the red pill, um, men's self-improvement, self-help sort of notions.
00:13:39.680
And it's not new. Like, um, actually here, I got a clip up here on my channel.
00:13:45.360
Let me throw my headphones. I'll play it. So we'll go through this together. Cause this is,
00:13:49.460
this is a video that I recorded almost four years ago now. Okay. And I was getting pretty
00:13:55.640
pissed off with the whole Manosphere stuff at that time. Some people ask me for my opinions
00:14:02.540
on certain things and I just tend to keep them myself at this time. So let's share screen. It's
00:14:07.520
like a quick 10 minute or I can probably play this at one and a half times speed to rip through it
00:14:12.140
faster. Um, but it's relevant for a whole bunch of reasons. Share audio tab tab. There it is.
00:14:19.620
Okay. Share. We'll throw it up over here. So almost four years ago, I made this video. It's I don't
00:14:28.700
know how many views on it. It doesn't show here on my screen. It was about 40,000, 40 to 60,000 views,
00:14:32.900
something like that. Um, let's just play it, drag it from the start and go one and a half times speed.
00:14:38.960
Let me know if you can't hear this in the chat. It should be playing over today on the Manosphere.
00:14:43.120
When you talk about what is wrong with the Manosphere, cause there's many, many things wrong with it.
00:14:46.160
I'm being honest. Um, if you're new to the channel, my name is Rich Cooper. If you're an old
00:14:49.780
subscriber, welcome to a different scene. I decided to get out of the car in the house today and just
00:14:52.360
record this in a little bit different scenario, kind of think outside of the box. Um, so how did
00:14:56.360
I get into this Manosphere stuff? I didn't even know what it was a couple of years, if I'm being
00:14:58.380
honest. You know, I made some bad choices in life, went through the divorce machine, saw some crazy
00:15:01.900
stuff happen, you know, with my business that was just brutal and then got into a bad relationship
00:15:05.240
with a single mommy for like three years or so. And that's basically what all red pilled me. Um, and I, I basically
00:15:10.120
pivoted my content. You can sort my older content and see how I went from talking about cars and
00:15:13.480
entrepreneurship and those success rides and what they had to do to overcome those obstacles.
00:15:16.160
To really that same theme, but applying it more to life in general. And I started solving problems
00:15:20.040
within my own life, looking for answers. I mean, when you go looking for answers, you're going to
00:15:22.680
find them. You'll find them on Google. You'll find them by talking to people. You'll find them on
00:15:24.760
YouTube. You ask questions, you will find answers. There's content out there for just about anything
00:15:27.620
you want to ask about. And I was looking for some serious answers. And I started sharing my own
00:15:30.240
experiences based on what I learned. And I came across books and content like, um, Bachelor Pad Economics
00:15:34.800
was the first thing that brought me into it by Aaron Cleary. And then, you know, the Rolo Tomasi book series.
00:15:38.180
You know, Rolo's become a great friend. Um, you know, there's many, many things wrong with the, um, Manosphere as it's called.
00:15:42.680
You know, first of all, it's a crazy name. I mean, Manosphere sounds like something that would have
00:15:45.680
shown up in police academy in the eighties rather than the blue. I've always said it's a stupid name.
00:15:49.400
It's like, it doesn't sound like anything masculine. It, it, it sounds, it sounds pretty
00:15:54.040
Sawyer for being honest. It should have been called the Manosphere. It's a silly name. It's like a weird
00:15:56.880
nightclub. Anyway, setting that aside, but here's the thing, right? I mean, the whole, the whole Manosphere
00:16:01.400
space has a number of people in it that preach to an audience, whether it's on social media platforms,
00:16:06.160
video, a blog form in person, however, does it, you want to lay it out on how to become a better version of
00:16:11.640
themselves, but they really don't live it themselves. Okay. That hasn't changed at all,
00:16:16.700
at all. As far as men's self-help goes, they purport all these claims and these statements,
00:16:24.380
but they don't live them themselves. Um, I don't like, look, well, here, let's finish this and then
00:16:32.540
we'll get into all that. They have overinflated egos. They lie, they cheat. Uh, they manufacture
00:16:37.540
stories about themselves. It simply aren't true. Um, I still true today. See so many things that
00:16:43.500
people send me, they DM me all the time. It's like the drama is never ending guys. The drama I've,
00:16:46.800
I've run departments, which were primarily comprised of women, uh, doing 250, $300,000 a month in sales,
00:16:52.400
uh, several, several dozen of them, people, employees, and I've never seen this much drama
00:16:56.400
and they're banging each other and they're fighting with each other and they have HR issues and stuff
00:16:58.780
like that. But in the Manosphere space, I've never seen the amount of drama that I see. It's,
00:17:02.360
it's, it's bizarre to me that it is this deep, you know, it solves so many problems.
00:17:05.920
And I'm not saying it itself, but the red pill, you know, waking up from the lies that you've been
00:17:08.860
told and unplugging from social conditioning that doesn't serve you. It solves a lot of
00:17:13.000
problems for guys and it helps them level up in life. It helps them. So like guys are generally
00:17:20.080
deductive reasoners when it comes to problem solving. It's like, they'll have a circle hole
00:17:25.620
and they'll have a triangle and a square peg and a rectangular peg and just keep poking them
00:17:30.180
through until one fits. Like that's how guys operate. That's, you know, toddlers do that.
00:17:34.180
But, um, you go looking for answers and you will find them. It's like, you know, whenever I talk to
00:17:40.800
somebody like, Oh, you know, I think so-and-so is doing this, that, and the other thing, you know,
00:17:44.360
on me behind my back sort of thing. Well, go digging for dirt. You're going to get dirty and
00:17:48.840
you're probably going to find stuff that you're not going to like. Right. Um, when you go looking
00:17:53.640
for answers, when you go looking for help, you're going to find something. The problem with self-help
00:17:57.960
and what I was talking about here several years ago was that what you're finding generally speaking,
00:18:05.580
I'll actually put it this way. Okay. Cause I've been writing a chapter in my follow-up book
00:18:10.580
on the Mano Swamp. I'm not going to give away much of it in it in this video, but just to sort
00:18:15.560
of talk about it from altitude. Um, it's a lot like Las Vegas. If I can put it that way,
00:18:22.960
if you've never been to Vegas, um, you'll figure this out when you go one day, but if you've been
00:18:27.880
to Vegas, you're going to know exactly what I'm talking about. Vegas is a place that you go to
00:18:31.740
that you're happy that you find that you're excited to explore, but it's like when you leave,
00:18:39.380
it's awesome. I spent a number of years flying down to Vegas for long weekends. We'd go down on
00:18:44.640
Friday. We'd come back like Sunday night, go down on Thursday, come back Sunday night sort of thing.
00:18:48.540
And I did this a whole bunch of times with a bunch of different friends, um, larger groups,
00:18:53.960
smaller groups, sometimes just the two of us sort of thing. Um, but you know, we went down there a
00:18:58.000
lot and it's like, it got to the point after doing it a certain number of times where it's like, you
00:19:02.380
know, Sunday night at the airport, you know, waiting for your flight, just kind of sit in there.
00:19:06.680
You're like, fuck, I'm glad I'm going home. Like I'm done with this shit. Right. Like I want to get
00:19:09.820
the hell out of here. That's kind of what the Mano Swamp's like. It's like, it's interesting. You know,
00:19:15.320
you kind of want to visit it, but you don't want to live there. Right. Like people that live
00:19:18.460
in Las Vegas. Um, I look, I know there's some tax benefits and stuff like that. And maybe,
00:19:23.800
maybe you like the lifestyle, but most people that I know that have, that have lived there,
00:19:27.980
they don't spend too much time there and become better. It helps them make more money. It helps
00:19:32.120
them get better results with women. It really does. It's like nothing else I've ever seen,
00:19:34.900
but for some reason it's like flies on crap. There's so many flies out there that are just
00:19:39.200
lying POSs. Uh, they don't live the life that they live. You know, I mean, I know them personally.
00:19:43.280
I've, I've over the last few years, I've got to know many of them personally,
00:19:45.540
and they'll walk around banging their chest, talking about running multiple businesses,
00:19:48.160
being multimillionaires, and they don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
00:19:51.480
At the time when I recorded this, I was, I was probably thinking of like one or two people,
00:19:55.400
but it's expanded. I can, I can probably add another five to 10 people on that easily.
00:20:01.920
And I know this for a fact, I don't need to name names, you know, but I know these things for a
00:20:05.940
fact. And what I would rather see is people focus on becoming the best version of themselves and then
00:20:10.400
influencing others to do the same. That's really my theory. I mean, I don't,
00:20:13.540
I don't come on YouTube and put out content to sell you guys crap. I've got 600 free videos on
00:20:17.240
my channel. Do I have a community? Do I have a paywall? Do I do 600 videos? That was, um,
00:20:21.720
2018, 2019 ish. I think, um, I, I checked the other day cause I did do some uploads after some
00:20:28.860
edits. I've got 1100 videos on the channel now. It's just like, man, time flies when you're doing
00:20:34.000
this. Do you coaching? Yeah. Why? Because I don't work for free. Do you guys work for free? Do you
00:20:37.340
guys go to your job? Oh yeah. That's always been one of the big, you know, complaints of people is
00:20:41.280
like, Oh, rich, you charge so much money for private coaching. It's like, uh, yeah,
00:20:45.640
you, you think I'm basic bitch when it comes to coaching, all the stuff that I know and the
00:20:52.180
experiences that I have. I mean, look, you know, if you want basic answers, there's other people
00:20:56.880
out there that'll give you basic answers. But if you want like help solving the complex problem,
00:21:01.740
that's what I do. And I do it at a high level. So that's why my rates are, but, and I always find
00:21:06.160
it funny. It's like, you know, Oh, you're taking advantage of simps. It's like nobody's holding a gun to
00:21:10.940
anybody's head, man. It's like, this is what I do. And I prefer not doing private consoles.
00:21:16.980
Um, I actually have a lot more fun doing other things. Trust me. It's not for the money. It's
00:21:22.820
to protect my time. So I'm not swamped with bookings Monday morning and punch in and never
00:21:27.560
get paid. Of course not. You're going to charge for your time when people demand it. So when people
00:21:30.140
want to talk to me to get coaching for something, or they want to get access to premium stuff that I
00:21:33.140
can't post on YouTube, of course I'm going to charge for it. Right. But there's so many people out
00:21:36.200
there that haven't done the work. It's like, blah, blah, blah. And dude, all I want to say is
00:21:40.500
show me, stop talking, start doing, start showing me, stop banging your chest. It's amazing how not
00:21:45.980
a lot has changed over the last few years. There's far too much of that and not enough
00:21:50.740
doing the work, do the work. And that applies for people watching manosphere content. There's a lot
00:21:56.520
of lazy people that watch manosphere content that don't actually do the work that are looking for
00:22:00.000
the cheat codes. Like self-help man. Like, you know, people, people identify a problem. It's like,
00:22:04.500
okay, I have a problem now. And then you give them a solution and then they don't do anything with it.
00:22:10.500
I even see this with guys that enter my community personally. And it's like,
00:22:15.360
when they do it, we call them out on it. Right. Like me and the top guys in my group,
00:22:19.840
it'll be like, look, that's, that's called being an asshole. And that's asking a question,
00:22:24.620
doing nothing with it. And then coming back again and rephrasing it. A lot of these guys will
00:22:29.240
sometimes start DMing other people and wasting their time with more bullshit. And it's like,
00:22:34.060
there's a lot of that out there. Um, it's not a masculine behavior. It's not what top shelf men
00:22:40.400
do. It's not what gets you results. It's like masturbation. You're just like doing whatever,
00:22:45.340
but you're not actually achieving anything like driving the car into some mud and lighting up
00:22:49.300
the tires and spinning the wheels is the equivalent. Right. And there's a lot of that out there.
00:22:53.960
Um, I think part of the reason why Andrew got so much traction outside of the whole bombastic,
00:22:59.880
uh, loud and the catchy sound sound bites, um, was simply because he caught the attention
00:23:07.120
of a lot of these guys. It's funny, you know, I was at the gym the other day and, um,
00:23:13.620
you know, I was, I think I did a video on this a couple of weeks ago, but, um, I said the same
00:23:18.760
thing to Andrew. I sent him a message. I'm like, you know, a lot of people are like, Oh,
00:23:22.340
I like your stuff. And, you know, thank you for the book and all sorts of stuff.
00:23:25.260
And the very next thing they'll say is, Oh, do you know, Andrew Tate? And it's like the
00:23:28.160
whole top G thing. And I'm not really sure what that means. I think it's, I'm a little
00:23:32.620
bit older, obviously. Okay. So bear with me on this. Cause I've got less life ahead of
00:23:36.740
me than what I've lived. I mean, I've got a lot of experiences and, you know, you see
00:23:41.000
these, uh, kids and they're like, you know, 130 pounds soaking wet and I'm calling them
00:23:46.680
kids. They're probably about 20, like they're not children. So they're, so they're
00:23:49.200
adult, man. They're like 130, 140 pounds soaking wet, you know, five foot 10. Um, you
00:23:55.640
know, and they're walking around beating their chest. Like I'm a top G sort of thing.
00:24:00.060
And it's like, dude, I saw you in the parking lot, pulling your mom's Honda. Uh, and I see
00:24:06.160
you like bench pressing one plate and you're beating your chest and poking at your boys, calling
00:24:11.760
yourself to top G you ain't right. Um, the work needs to be done. There's, there's the act as
00:24:20.460
if concept, which I talked about in a video the other day where I was, where I was detailing, uh,
00:24:24.880
you're not alpha if, and of course, you know, there's some people that get their feathers all
00:24:29.200
ruffled over that, but it is what it is. Right. I mean, you know, the world either sees you as,
00:24:35.040
or they don't see you as right. But there's anyway, let's finish going through this video.
00:24:39.320
In fact, check this out. Let me dig it up. These are some of the grievances that people
00:24:44.120
voiced to me when I asked what they see with problems in the manosphere. Manosphere sounds
00:24:47.400
like a gay nightclub. Too many guys looking for a time machine to take them back to a
00:24:50.000
leave it to beaver time. The belief that there was ever, I think, I think that was Carl that
00:24:53.240
said the second one, uh, black label logic. And he walked out of the manosphere. He, you
00:24:57.600
know, he deleted his social media. He, he just left. He just said goodbye. Cause he didn't
00:25:03.240
see it. Um, I'm guessing as you know, the juice being worth the squeeze for a golden era of
00:25:08.920
masculinity and the freedom from hypergamy, the obsession with obscure philosophy, occultism,
00:25:12.520
and other BS unqualified purple pill hacks, looking for legitimacy by redefining or fabricating
00:25:16.740
red pill fundamentals to align with the shitty choices they made in their own lives.
00:25:19.720
That's the other thing too. There's all these colored pills now, black, white, purple, blue,
00:25:24.720
fucking yellow, green, orange. I don't know. Like how many different colored pills do you need,
00:25:30.040
man? There's like either like it's true or it's a lie. Right. It came from the matrix.
00:25:35.840
Take the blue pill, you plug back in and, you know, sleepwalk through life and everything
00:25:40.920
stays as it was. Take the red one, you unplug from everything. And we go down the rabbit hole
00:25:46.220
and see how far things really go. The thing being though, is that a lot of these health self-help
00:25:50.840
guys, whether they're in the Mano swamp or they're not in the Mano swamp, they want you
00:25:55.360
to drink their Kool-Aid and get drunk on their Kool-Aid. Like it's almost like they want
00:25:59.020
you to hear, they want to hear the words that they're saying come out of your mouth as
00:26:03.740
well. Right. That's, that's self-help and the Mano swamp kind of wrapped up in a nutshell,
00:26:10.020
if that makes sense. Right. Too many one-eyed men selling glasses to blind men, creating
00:26:14.160
unrealistic expectations for how fast a man can get results. Too many chasing tail, sorry,
00:26:17.720
too much chasing tail and not enough chasing of excellence. That's what I preach about all the
00:26:20.620
time. Right. Too many broke fat guys that don't lift that married single moms lecturing men on how
00:26:24.160
to be a real man. So much of that. That's, that's so common. Very, very common. Too many men
00:26:29.740
looking for the cheat codes to play life, women, money on God mode. Really? There's that many guys
00:26:33.180
actually doing it. Honestly, it's, it's a joke. Lazy people who expect you to tell them basic stuff.
00:26:36.360
Anyone can look up on a cell phone. Like what's hypergamy. There's a lot of legitimate grievances
00:26:39.940
and problems with this. Yeah. The, yeah, the laziness gets me all the time. I, I said something the other
00:26:45.520
day in a tweet response. Um, I said something like move more, eat better. Okay. Which would make sense to
00:26:54.640
most people I think that speak English when it comes to self-care, right? Move more, eat better.
00:27:00.680
Dude at replies me. What do you mean by move more? Do I have to explain that? Like we're at the point
00:27:08.120
where we have to explain basic concepts. Space called the manosphere that too many people, you know,
00:27:13.560
go on about being experts. And it's because there's really a lack of true experts. There's dozens upon
00:27:17.680
dozens of guys that, that, that are answering questions like how to get girls and not enough guys
00:27:21.380
solving problems behind the, why you're not getting girls. Like you probably suck. Maybe
00:27:25.260
you need a gym membership and you got to lose 60 pounds. You probably need to get a haircut and
00:27:28.040
get some proper style going on. You need to understand, and very importantly, female nature
00:27:31.360
and what drives women and what drives the dynamics between desire between men and women. Not let's go
00:27:35.720
and memorize lines and go and approach 75 women and bother them in public spaces, hoping that you can
00:27:40.140
get one of them to go out on a date with you, right? Like that's the whole, you know, too many promises
00:27:43.560
of, of, uh, fast results, right? There's a lot of that going on too. People selling programs on how to get
00:27:48.140
fast results. Remember these lines and regurgitate them and go and approach, you know, 75 women
00:27:51.320
harass the crap out of them. Well, what's that going to get you? It's going to get you a lot
00:27:53.540
of disappointment, probably harassment charges or even me too. And they wonder why they're not being
00:27:57.080
successful. And then at the end of that, when they, I was, I was shocked. Like I, like I hung
00:28:01.220
around a lot, you know, for the next few years after this, at the amount of people that had either
00:28:06.520
been running from the law, uh, had criminal charges or had got, uh, guys incarcerated for following
00:28:14.360
the tools and techniques that they offered. Um, but it's a lot more common than you think. A lot of it
00:28:21.200
gets swept away or, you know, you hope that it disappears, but again, sunlight will, will
00:28:26.400
sanitize everything. Like, you know, the whole next step for Andrew, we'll see what it looks
00:28:32.040
like. I think it'll be an interesting unfolding because I think he's generally regarded right
00:28:38.000
now as the self-help, uh, guy, you know, whether it's, you know, you want to call it red pill
00:28:43.640
or unplugging from the matrix, whatever it happens to be. Um, but you know, dude said it earlier up
00:28:50.960
here. Who was it? Henry. Most guys like Andrew brought the cancellation on himself. You know,
00:28:54.920
you play with the bull and you know, you're going to get the horns. You can, you can go out there
00:28:59.060
and say and do certain things. I mean, the conversations that I have with my boys when
00:29:04.080
we're together are different than what you'll see on a stream or in a video. Um, I'm acutely aware
00:29:10.840
of, um, cancel culture. Um, acutely aware of what, uh, can and probably, or may not be able to be
00:29:18.660
said, or you have to sort of water it down or use slightly different language. Um, I mean, there's
00:29:23.960
people out there right now that use very terse and abrasive language, you know, descriptive terms
00:29:29.480
and they haven't been canceled yet, but again, they haven't got the level of media attention.
00:29:35.320
I think that Andrew did, um, when you walk and talk and act like a bull, like an alpha male,
00:29:42.020
you're going to get a lot of attention from people. And, uh, when you say things that can be
00:29:48.440
used against you, it's, it's not self-help anymore. Right. They don't like, you know,
00:29:56.200
it brings you back to the anti-fragility part, right? If, if you're in a position to offer advice,
00:30:02.640
to be helpful, to reveal certain things, you know, to sanitize, you know, the darkness with
00:30:07.460
some light to unplug, whatever it is that you want to call it with some truth. Um, a lot of it is
00:30:14.200
very, very uncomfortable. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's very difficult for people to want to,
00:30:21.340
to hear, um, you know, women, especially, and for soft men, especially too, like weak beta males that
00:30:27.680
have been fed a entire life, like a steady diet of men are weak, you know, bend the knee, just be a
00:30:36.420
nice guy. Um, you know, women are oppressed. Uh, they make less than what men do for the exact same
00:30:41.980
job, blah, blah, blah. At some point, like weak men can be very, very dangerous. I think it was, um,
00:30:48.000
Jordan Peterson says something along the lines of, you know, if you think that tough guys are
00:30:51.420
dangerous, wait till you get a load of what weak guys, you know, can and will do. And a lot of the
00:30:57.560
negative, um, sound bites that you'll hear don't come from alpha males. They don't come from strong,
00:31:02.960
virtuous men. They come from weaker guys. Um, they come from weaker guys and, uh, more so like the
00:31:10.420
victim mindset, you know, it's like, Oh, poor me. And they fit, you know, they find a reason to be
00:31:16.100
offended, hurt. Um, you know, not, not in a safe space, something like that. And then it gets
00:31:22.700
amplified. And that's exactly what happened to Andrew. Cheat codes to life. This is the best
00:31:27.380
part. You know, people that consume content in the manuscript when they're not willing to do the
00:31:31.040
work, lose the weight, get the gym membership, make the money, figure out, you know, the, you know,
00:31:34.860
the whole like lose the weight thing really what 65, 70% of the North American populations
00:31:42.060
overweight, fat, obese, morbidly obese, and some category where it's an unhealthy BMI.
00:31:48.320
Right. And it's like, all you have to do is move more and eat better. And a lot of them won't even
00:31:56.140
do that. Right. Like there's some lazy ass creators even that won't even do that. And they'll just go
00:32:00.060
get liposuction. Right. Cause they don't want to do the work, but just the fundamentals of the optics
00:32:05.620
of strength and masculinity, health and fitness, just a decent diet, a good workout protocol,
00:32:14.300
a decent workout protocol. And if you're a young guy, it should be easy as hell, man. Like when you
00:32:18.660
get to my age, trust me, it's, it's a lot harder to maintain, um, you know, physical conditioning,
00:32:24.380
but a lot of the young guys that, you know, are out there going, I need some help. Can you jump rope
00:32:29.620
for two minutes straight? Uh, can you do 20 body weight dips, you know, with a dip bar? I was just
00:32:35.980
at the gym this morning doing this 20, no problem. Right. Uh, like, you know, can you do 25 pushups,
00:32:41.760
like just bait, like basic body weight stuff. And if you can start with, you know, easy fundamentals
00:32:47.520
and kind of work from there, learn combat skills, learn how to fight going, you know, join a dojo box,
00:32:53.880
kickbox crop. I don't care. Do something so that you develop the competency skills and improve
00:32:58.560
your conditioning and your mental health. That's, that's what I heard a lot of from,
00:33:03.120
you know, Andrew was become a better version of yourself. Do the fucking work. You know,
00:33:08.020
don't, don't be lazy. Don't, don't surround yourself with mediocrity when you can surround
00:33:11.900
yourself with excellence. Right. The basic dynamics of the sexual marketplace, then they get pissed
00:33:15.980
off and then they point and sputter. Oh, you're a scam. That's a lie. Blah, blah, blah. You know,
00:33:19.560
this, that, and the other thing. That's like the whole doomer, uh, trope, you know,
00:33:22.460
the black pill guys. Right. And then they'll go and, you know, manufacture indignation. I'll give you a
00:33:25.940
great example. I had a coaching call the other day with this guy, dude books 15 minutes. Okay.
00:33:29.460
And his problem was he's a 38 year old guy. He's new to North America. He's got a very thick Indian
00:33:33.000
accent working for a tech company as an engineer. And he wanted me to produce a magic wand that would
00:33:36.920
solve all of his problems in 15 minutes, his strategy to get a girl to like him, which is
00:33:40.180
what he bought. Like terrible, terrible game wanted the cheat codes to fixing, getting one girl
00:33:46.940
like that. And it's like, there's actually people out there that promise that. And there's people out
00:33:52.940
that are like, Hey, you know, if you follow these texting tips, or if you buy my, you know,
00:33:58.360
course on picking up girls or something like that, we'll get you there. But I've always said,
00:34:04.360
it's a mind mindset thing, right? It's like adopt a new mindset. Don't memorize and regurgitate
00:34:10.580
language terms, text message clips, or whatever it happens to be. It's a mindset shift where you
00:34:16.520
actually become the game. You know, we talk about this a lot and like, I run a bunch of group chats
00:34:20.720
and one of them's like a top tier one, you know, my community. And it's like the constant theme is
00:34:26.700
you can't fake this, you know, you can't fake it till you make it like you actually have to become
00:34:30.580
the game. You know what I'm saying? Book the call for because he wanted to get a wife. His strategy
00:34:34.540
was to approach a woman that's 15 years younger than him from his church. And he chose me a picture
00:34:38.060
of some other guy that looks kind of like him with his arms wrapped around her wanting that girl
00:34:41.480
trying to figure out how do I get that girl and get her to marry me. And his approach was tell her
00:34:45.740
that I like her, find her funny, and then tell her that he wants to wife her up.
00:34:48.700
And a lot of the stuff that you get in the self-help, you know, sort of space for guys or in the
00:34:53.720
Mano Swamp, you know, I call it the Mano Swamp because it's a better name than Manosphere, to be
00:34:58.000
honest with you. It's build a better beta sort of recipes, like not dealing with the core problem,
00:35:07.260
right? Like a guy wants to solve his entire world view in 15 minutes when he's new to a country,
00:35:13.920
is completely beta-tized, raised by a single mom, works in a boring industry, doesn't have any
00:35:20.820
interesting skills or hobbies. You see where I'm going now, right? And it's like, dude, we're not
00:35:25.140
going to solve this problem in 15 minutes, right? We're going to have to dive real deep down this
00:35:28.200
rabbit hole and reconfigure your belief system. Because right now, what you've been doing ain't
00:35:31.680
working. And that's going to take a lot of work. But does a guy want to do the work? No. He's lazy.
00:35:35.720
It's amazing how almost nothing has changed over the last few years since I made this video.
00:35:39.740
Yeah. There's too many lazy people out there that are unwilling to do the work on themselves. They'll
00:35:43.180
go and spend thousands of dollars on stupid PUA courses, chasing women, trying to regurgitate
00:35:46.760
lines, or going to stupid events. When what they should be doing is finding somebody that's truly
00:35:50.320
an expert that's done the work, book their time, and get the training from them directly.
00:35:53.080
You know, I take that back. Start by getting a gym membership. Start by getting some meal planning
00:35:58.860
going. Start by signaling the optics of what masculinity and strength actually look like,
00:36:05.480
right? Because the inner game is becoming it, right? It's not like basics, like just memorize
00:36:15.600
stuff. It's not really. Do a lot of people do? It's understanding it. And you don't even need
00:36:22.340
any of the stuff that you see out there. If I could recommend one place to start,
00:36:28.820
intelligent guys can start with evo psych. Okay. When it comes to society, pecking orders,
00:36:37.160
hierarchies, women, what women respond to, like all of that stuff, evo psych stuff, right? And
00:36:44.860
the evolution desires, very, very straightforward read. David Buss is the author. He's an evo psych
00:36:50.780
guy. There's another interesting book, which he coauthored as well, called the, I think it's called
00:36:56.700
why women have sex. And if you get the audio version, I think it's read by a female, if I'm
00:37:02.080
not mistaken, but there's a female coauthor that he worked with collaborating on the research and
00:37:06.980
collecting the data. You know, you start with that and you see the code in the matrix. You're like,
00:37:11.900
oh, okay, now I, now I see it. You may not like it, but now I see it, right? Do it? No, a handful do,
00:37:18.960
but I'll tell you what, the guys that are booking with me, they're getting shit done, man. They're
00:37:21.300
getting a lot of stuff done. But anyway, you know, back to the point of the manosphere, many,
00:37:24.320
many problems with it, too many fakes, too many liars, too many people that haven't done the work
00:37:27.420
that are projecting outwardly that they're awesome. They are like, you know, it's like social
00:37:30.820
media. You know how they say that social media is like a highlight reel? You know, it's like you
00:37:34.020
see these people that pretend to be awesome in social media, but in real life, they're not.
00:37:37.180
There's a lot of guys in the manosphere that are like that, where they claim to have answers
00:37:41.420
that they do not, or they offer BS advice, or they do things that they don't live up to.
00:37:45.200
Yeah. Speaking of BS advice, I've, I've heard firsthand, like absolutely shit advice that would
00:37:54.020
just send a guy down the wrong path, dispense to guys that I know personally. And there's nothing
00:38:02.360
you can do about it, really. Because there's no, like, it's a permissionless environment to upload
00:38:09.120
to YouTube, for example, if that's where the platform is. You don't need anybody's permission
00:38:12.580
to record a video and upload it. You just have to sound compelling enough. I remember when I was a
00:38:16.500
kid, my, um, one of my friend's dad, he used to run this business, um, 20, $25 million a year
00:38:22.400
business. And, um, you know, one of the lessons I learned from him was he said something along the
00:38:26.840
lines of bullshit baffles brains. And you can hold out, you can purport to be something that you're
00:38:32.660
not because most people aren't that smart and they're not smart enough to figure it out.
00:38:37.080
I've, I've heard a man, okay. In the same room, room saying that he is amazing and that he only goes
00:38:42.220
out with nines and tens. And then after I heard him say that within literally 45 minutes, I see him
00:38:46.700
bring into the event area, a two. And I just couldn't believe it. And I was not the only one
00:38:52.220
shaking my head at this, right? Like there's, there's example after example, after example,
00:38:55.700
you're banging on telling people to buy your course or program saying that you're only with
00:38:58.400
nines and tens, but you walk at two into the hotel. Come on guys. Like it's, it's going to come
00:39:01.980
back and bite you in the butt at some point. You got to be smarter than that. Those of you that are
00:39:04.700
creating content out there, I challenge you to be better. I know you can be better. Some of you, I know
00:39:07.900
very well, and I know you can be better. I'm not going to be around you though,
00:39:10.240
unfortunately. Right. I don't want to be around losers. I mean, you can't soar like an eagle. If
00:39:13.900
you surround yourself with turkeys, it's just not going to happen. That's why I've been solo since
00:39:17.760
December. I just, you know, I'm just happier that way. It's better, right? These guys need to level
00:39:22.880
up. They need to level up the game. They need to actually do the work. They need to stop screwing
00:39:26.240
people over. They need to stop lying to people and misleading them with results that they've never
00:39:30.380
achieved themselves. Always ask yourself this guys. I'm going to wrap up on this note. Cause I feel
00:39:33.360
like I'm banging on too long in this video. Always ask yourself this. Would you want to trade
00:39:36.140
places with that person? You know, whatever somebody dispenses advice, ask yourself,
00:39:39.640
would I trade my life for their life out of the dozens of people that I know in this space?
00:39:44.040
Yeah, I think I can, uh, I think I can wrap it up on that note. There was, um,
00:39:48.540
you know, as far as like self-help and like masculinity stuff, let me see. Can I put this
00:39:54.140
up on the screen? Uh, remove and let's, uh, stop screen. Let's throw this up here. Cause I came
00:40:02.340
across the Haka. I love this man. This thing is fricking awesome. Share screen tab.
00:40:10.300
This right here. Okay. You should be able to hear this. I just came across this today.
00:40:16.280
So if you don't know what this dance is, it's called the Haka. Um, Southern, Southern Pacific,
00:40:24.240
I think like Southern Island or sort of thing. I'm assuming this is probably in New Zealand where
00:40:29.780
they filmed this. And, um, it's just a quick minute clip, but just watch this. I mean,
00:40:34.240
you can improve the lives of a lot of men quite simply by teaching them this dance and having
00:40:41.360
them do it on a consistent basis. Um, often when a lot of these, um, sporting leagues and teams
00:40:47.660
challenge another team and it's a world final or something like that, you'll see this. Some of you
00:40:52.120
may have not seen this. This might be like a replay for some of you that have seen it before,
00:40:55.900
but just check this out. Like, I love this dance. Just listen to this show.
00:41:24.760
Oh, don't let speak more break, don't let back break my sport!
00:42:02.260
I'm just gonna mute it while it continues to play
00:42:30.900
But one of the points that I wanted to make is you have an entire room here
00:42:34.580
This is probably some kind of boy school entire room here
00:42:37.540
And if you go back an entire upper level up over here, I don't know how many kids are in this room
00:42:45.200
All doing the exact same thing following the same movement. It's very powerful
00:42:51.220
Like look at the faces on the kids in the front rows here. Like look at this motherfucker
00:42:58.040
Now this is what a lot of the self-help stuff is everybody, you know
00:43:03.120
They take it very seriously, you know, they memorize the moves and the lines and sort of stuff like that
00:43:10.700
If you're not familiar new zealand is probably the biggest soy country in the world right now
00:43:15.880
They allowed themselves to get locked down like no other country the leader the prime minister. I can't remember her name
00:43:22.500
But she was in the media recently and she was talking about how you should just trust
00:43:28.720
You know the government and you should just listen to the government and follow what they say
00:43:33.040
Now if the if the entire country voted for this woman, you know with the whole
00:43:38.220
Narratives and the lockdowns and just trust us and you know line up to get your 17 booster jab sort of thing
00:43:44.000
If the entire country fell for it, even though you've got a room full of boys like this, you know that memorized
00:43:50.260
You know the movements and the lines and all that sort of stuff. It makes you wonder, you know, but the differences between
00:43:57.060
And regurgitating and actually living right and that's the becoming the game part
00:44:03.020
That's that's like the becoming, you know, the better version of yourself
00:44:06.280
A lot of guys will go out in there watch it. They'll yeah, i'll get up like jocko wilnick and i'll do my workout at 3 30 a.m
00:44:12.200
And i'll take a picture of my uh wristwatch and the sweat on the floor. Yeah, i'll i'll i'll get the um
00:44:17.580
Gorilla kettlebells, you know from joe rogan's store and you know i'll swing them and you know
00:44:25.080
But the vast majority of guys are like the kids
00:44:28.380
That I see that are, you know beating their chest 140 pounds soaking wet at the gym
00:44:34.180
Uh, you know talking about being the top g it's like no, dude, you're not you're not andrew you're not driving a bugatti
00:44:44.660
I I see the movements but have you actually adopted the new mindset, right?
00:44:49.400
That's where the results start to come. That's where self-help results really come from
00:44:52.720
Right and they do get there. Um, not all of them. Most of them don't but they do get there
00:44:58.340
Uh, let me just go back here in the chat. Uh neem says with little effort you can move mountains, but only
00:45:04.940
Can't move your legs but only mouthwork. Yeah, um
00:45:08.840
A little super there chris says respectfully many guys in a man of swamp
00:45:14.160
Uh seem to only care about women including red pill guys who I call friends focus on getting results outside of getting laid
00:45:22.940
There's two kinds of people you can't trust in the world. You can't trust anybody that
00:45:29.840
On getting laid and racking up a notch count and people that don't get laid
00:45:34.180
Because either one of them will throw you under the bus for any benefit at any given time think about that for a second
00:45:47.680
One man's chorus. Uh rish you keep saying that today's young men are soy
00:45:56.180
Consider the percentage of millennials and zoomers who are raised by single moms and public school teachers today's men were socialized by women
00:46:03.220
That's one of the things that i've been thinking about a lot lately, too
00:46:07.840
Because there's this you know, this notion of well
00:46:10.040
You can solve that by homeschooling your uh, your kids
00:46:16.120
That problem by homeschooling your kids because even if
00:46:18.880
You're a patriarch you live out in the woods a rural you've got, you know, like a well dug for your water
00:46:25.840
You've maybe grow, you know, some of your own, uh produce
00:46:29.080
You've got some animals on your land and you homeschool your kids
00:46:32.320
Can you really change that right? You know, you know, it's a question that I would pose right now because it's like
00:46:38.440
You know, some people will homeschool their kids and they'll go put them in the school system at some point
00:46:43.400
Or they'll expose them to screens at some point
00:46:51.840
I don't know for the first 10 years of their lives, you know sort of thing and then
00:47:09.040
Okay, uh china knows what they're doing like the stuff that the chinese consume
00:47:14.560
In asia is different from the tiktok that we consume in north america
00:47:19.200
There's a reason why the military doesn't let people use tiktok from what I understand. I don't know if that's still true today
00:47:30.700
I believe to soften most of society now that being said it's also got code
00:47:36.800
Which is going to amplify anything that that keeps people on the platform
00:47:48.060
So I think what you're probably going to see is you're going to see some of that change because
00:47:57.660
Affiliate network to produce so many uh different tiktok accounts
00:48:04.160
And the algorithms reward that or they still do, you know, maybe maybe to this moment
00:48:11.760
Um, you know, but to the point over here of like, you know, today's men are socialized by women
00:48:16.380
It's like like how do you change that? How do you stop that?
00:48:20.180
It's very difficult. You don't you don't own your kids when you expose them to
00:48:38.520
They are going to get exposed to mainstream narratives. They're going to get exposed to
00:48:50.740
They should should stay and be weak. They'll be lied to and told to just be themselves and be a nice guy
00:48:57.020
And uh, they'll watch media and advertising saying that, uh, men are idiots and they're incompetent and that women are better
00:49:03.880
Um, and women will hear messages about men and women are equal. They're, you know, they're the same you two ladies can be promiscuous
00:49:11.440
Uh, men just can't do it. You know, you should do it, too
00:49:15.480
You're beautiful at any size weight height color of hair or whatever
00:49:21.400
They're they're they're softening the fabric of society
00:49:26.060
And it's very very difficult to penetrate that today
00:49:29.180
And to get a clear concise message about strength masculinity competency ownership
00:49:34.940
I don't when I talk I don't talk to um chicks, you know, like i'm i'm talking to the dudes i'm talking to men
00:49:49.760
Um, women already have it pretty easy in the world overall
00:49:53.920
Um, you know a lot of times, you know, people ask me well, you know
00:49:57.280
Well, women can do this too and you're you know, like your information is helpful, you know for women and what what advice would you give the gals rich?
00:50:07.580
I would tell a son not to get married put himself first and make something out of himself
00:50:13.720
I would tell the daughter preserve, you know, your femininity preserve your beauty
00:50:21.000
Like women are born something, you know, they're born beautiful and if they live their life correctly and they don't party and they don't drink
00:50:29.140
And they don't smoke and they don't do stupid shit and run around with a bunch of guys
00:50:33.260
You know, that's that's basically where their value comes from
00:50:38.920
Don't go get a job. I'm not saying don't don't go get a degree if you want
00:50:45.140
um, you know, the top shelf guys that all women pine for
00:50:51.660
Even even broke guys, you know that ever said. Oh, yeah, look at the degree on her
00:50:55.700
Look at her degree when she walks away. Check that out. Hey
00:50:58.940
Check that out when she walks away. That's a nice degree on her, huh?
00:51:08.420
They look at the optics of beauty and what do women look at? They look at success
00:51:12.340
They look at competency skills. They look at guys that are strong
00:51:15.900
That have a backbone that can make it rain. You know, they know how to make money
00:51:22.420
Money that you know makes a difference that you know does something so it's like
00:51:26.580
Yeah, it's a serious problem, right? And I don't have all the answers. I can't fix the world
00:51:32.920
People are like oh rich, you know, you have a platform. Why don't you fix things?
00:51:35.400
Why don't you say this or you need to say that you need to say this it's like
00:51:40.880
You're not going to like sometimes what I say you may not adopt what I say
00:51:45.860
It might ruffle your feathers when I say things but i'm going to say what i'm going to say
00:51:50.140
And i'll you know, like i'll tell you something
00:51:52.860
Guys and you know guys it's the vast majority that are watching my content
00:51:59.640
Again, can you do 25 push-ups? Can you get on some dip bars and do 20 dips?
00:52:04.920
Can you skip rope for 20 minutes without being out of breath?
00:52:08.120
Do you know how to fight you know how to defend yourself?
00:52:10.200
Do you know how to defend a woman or women, you know, you know
00:52:16.680
You know, can you solve problems or you just sit there and go well, i'm just going to play video games
00:52:20.300
Right, or you're gonna watch, you know, like a video
00:52:24.820
You know, you see a hashtag or something like that and like yeah, i'm a top g too. That's me. I'm a top g
00:52:29.600
It's like I remember a couple weeks ago. I had this young man call in on my unplugged alpha podcast
00:52:36.040
One of the things he said I think um velcro made a clip out of it. He said something along the lines of uh
00:52:46.220
He was complaining that he couldn't um wear the hat that he wanted to wear when he was cutting the grass
00:52:52.680
He complained that his uh, wife would browbeat him over the position of the toilet seat
00:52:58.460
It's like simple shit like woman just put the toilet seat down. Okay. I'm busy here. I'm chasing excellence
00:53:04.760
I'm doing something right. I'm doing something useful with my life and it's like having a fight over toilet seat is nonsense
00:53:10.020
Right, but this is the state that guys are in it like you're not a high value guy
00:53:13.100
If you don't if you don't have the capacity to lead in the relationship, right?
00:53:17.480
She doesn't see you that way. I guarantee it. Otherwise
00:53:20.340
Why would she be tripping you over something basic like that?
00:53:25.980
Uh, yeah, I saw the video of joe reviewing tiktok's user terms. It's it's crazy
00:53:31.900
Um, there's a clip out there somewhere on youtube. It's not very long. You can go look it up
00:53:36.580
But he's but it's but it's basically like here. Let me see if I can dig it up real quick
00:53:44.740
Exposes tick tick tock. I always spell that wrong
00:54:03.700
Uh, yeah, you guys got to watch this is like it's like a two-minute clip
00:54:20.040
Tiktok's terms of service. I went down a tiktok rabbit hole yesterday. Yeah, it's good
00:54:25.300
I stayed home smoked a little weed and I started reading up on tiktok. Yeah, oh my god
00:54:29.960
I'm gonna read you this because this is so crazy
00:54:32.720
Imagine being a stand-up comic and be like i'm gonna smoke a blunt and go read some tiktok terms of service
00:54:40.240
It's so what are you saying? It's a bad place to be listen to this. This is uh, from tiktok's privacy policy
00:54:46.560
All right, it said, uh, we collect certain information about the device you use to access the platform
00:55:00.000
Uh, user agent mobile carrier time zone settings
00:55:04.960
Identifiers for advertising purpose model of your device
00:55:08.240
We're only we're only a third of the way through and they already know the model of your device everything about your phone
00:55:14.320
Uh, you know your operating system here. I'm gonna speed it up a little bit
00:55:18.000
It's the device system network type device ids your screen resolution and opera
00:55:23.840
Like they're collecting data on your screen resolution
00:55:27.040
Reading system app and file names and types so all your apps and all your file names
00:55:31.520
So you know about all your file names on your phone all the apps you have on your phone
00:55:35.520
Well things you have filed away on your phone. They have access to that file names and types keystroke patterns or rhythms
00:55:40.000
So they're monitoring your keystrokes. Which means they know every
00:55:46.960
One of the things that you want to do with a website is you want to put this this like cookie code on it
00:55:51.680
Basically, and it tracks uh heat mapping. So what you do on the screen
00:55:56.320
Um, this is basically what tick tock's doing is they're essentially heat mapping the use of
00:56:03.440
Um, since they're tracking other apps and what you're doing with your phone
00:56:14.160
Audio settings things and connected audio devices where you log in from multiple devices
00:56:18.960
We'll be able to use your profile information to identify your activity across devices
00:56:23.440
We may also associate you with information collected from devices other than those you need you use to log into the platform
00:56:31.120
Meaning they can use other computers that you're not even using to log into tick tock
00:56:35.600
They can suck the data off that that's what you're agreeing to when you download and start using tick tock. Do you?
00:56:45.680
I have a tick tock account, you know, and I upload clips there and i'm telling you right now delete tick tock. You don't need it
00:56:53.440
I'm telling you as somebody that uploads video there
00:56:56.080
I don't like I really try not to consume it because if you start scrolling through it
00:57:00.240
It's like they suck you in man with their with their total bullshit
00:57:04.320
Uh, rashid says love your content. Do you have plans to write another book? Yes, i'm working on the follow-up to it
00:57:12.160
I'm quite chuffed. He says I have read your book six times so far. Just a masterpiece. Thanks, man
00:57:16.880
I really really appreciate that look if you if you've read my book, please leave a review on amazon
00:57:24.560
I'm i'm proud of this book, but i'm going to be honest with you the follow-up that i'm writing to this
00:57:32.880
We'll see when it comes out. It'll be out next year. We'll see
00:57:39.760
So what do we covered here we got into? Uh, let's close that and remove the books and the twitter feed and the haka and that video from the manosphere
00:57:54.160
Yeah, uh, jaren's talking about heat mapping. Yeah, it's it's a very very effective tool to monitor everything that you do
00:58:05.840
If you're going to broadcast yourself be as anti-fragile as possible meaning if chaos comes your way
00:58:11.840
If they try to do something to stop you you actually improve
00:58:14.520
I think andrew's a smart guy and I hope he comes out the other end better than what he was before
00:58:21.500
I don't see him the way that a lot of you guys see him
00:58:24.300
You know, I see guys calling him the top g and I don't even know what the fuck a top g is to be honest with you
00:58:28.800
I think I think it means gangster if i'm not mistaken
00:58:31.840
Maybe you guys can you know correct me in the live chat, but
00:58:41.860
Um, one of my favorite podcast interviews that i've seen with him was with uh tom segura who's a stand-up comic
00:58:48.520
And I mentioned this before, you know, his own wife even said during the uh podcast that
00:58:52.540
He's had world-class comics sitting opposite from him and he's never laughed as hard as he did with tate and I thought andrew was very very funny
00:59:03.420
I think I see him first as a comedian then I see him as a car guy
00:59:10.000
Anybody that likes cars is all right with me. I don't care what brand of car it is
00:59:14.260
I don't care if it's a subaru sti. I don't care if it's a bugatti
00:59:24.820
He's an entrepreneur. He's obviously a successful kickboxer won a bunch of fights. I think he'll be okay
00:59:50.920
Uh, they should be capitalizing on it. And if I was andrew, I would definitely, uh, take advantage of that
00:59:56.840
Um, a lot of people have said well, you know, you should go to this platform or go to that platform or
01:00:09.080
I can't remember who it was but it was a british guy and he said something like I'm gonna save the manosphere with my video platform
01:00:13.840
And it's like, oh here we go another fucking centralized video platform. That's going to save the world
01:00:21.020
The reason why I haven't moved to another platform
01:00:33.960
So if they don't like you is what it boils down to if they don't like you and they want to take you off
01:00:38.000
They will remove you. It doesn't matter if it's
01:00:43.680
Locals was the other one that dave rubin did I think with peterson. I think I think peterson, you know got out of that deal
01:00:50.200
It doesn't matter what they are, but if they're centralized. There's no point in my view. I'm waiting for web three
01:00:58.880
There's there's consensus, you know, for example, like look if you want to remove somebody from a from a decentralized platform and you want to cancel them
01:01:07.240
Let the people on the platform vote not the people that not the not the people sitting in that
01:01:15.140
You know victim mindset purple haired angry people that hate men sort of thing
01:01:20.340
You don't want to take you off. I don't like if they shut that show
01:01:22.280
I'm going to take them off. Let's just delete them and then we'll call our friends at this show. Hey, you know tiktok. Yeah, okay
01:01:26.920
We're gonna take them down. Yeah, okay payment processes. Yeah, you know, we're gonna take them. That's what they do
01:01:31.140
They come at you from all angles. It's you know, it's a coordinated attack and then it's like, okay
01:01:37.460
We'll take his you know, take away his ability to broadcast. We'll take away his ability to process payments
01:01:44.160
Uh host, you know on a website will take away his ability to use things like discord
01:01:51.620
So then it becomes a coordinated attack and then you know, you're kind of forced to go to some small, you know rinky dink platform
01:02:01.940
I really hope that you guys listen to this and pay attention to it. It's going to be a web three solution
01:02:09.940
built on like something like the blockchain where
01:02:15.120
And if people want to see it, they can come and see it
01:02:19.380
If people want you removed, it requires the consensus of whatever to get you
01:02:24.860
Deleted or removed, you know, for example, but you own the content
01:02:28.280
Um, that doesn't exist today. Um, they they profit immensely
01:02:42.380
Broadcasting messages on their platforms and bring eyeballs to them
01:03:00.160
It is what it is. That's that's what cancel culture is
01:03:05.700
It aims to try to silence and all that you prove when you try to silence somebody like I said earlier is basically that they're right
01:03:11.580
like why would you silence somebody that's wrong when I
01:03:14.620
consume, you know, like something in my feed or if I turn on youtube and i'm not logged in it's some
01:03:24.380
A woman that's going to browbeat or bash men and make fun of them
01:03:29.620
I just turn it off. I just move on. I don't complain about it
01:03:33.580
I don't copy it and send it to like a group discussion
01:03:36.620
That's private on facebook and get all the other angry people to come in and sort of mob it out and mass file and report
01:03:51.600
It's just not the solution. I don't agree with it at all
01:03:54.600
I personally think that cancel culture is is is a very big problem
01:03:59.040
But we don't have a solution to it. Nobody's done anything about it
01:04:04.160
I would imagine because uh, andrew's name is that popular right now
01:04:09.700
That a guy like elon musk has probably caught wind of it and probably seen some of the
01:04:14.160
The clips, you know some of the shorts and reels
01:04:16.760
And that's the kind of person that has the ability to build a web 3 sort of platform
01:04:24.800
Push the sort of adoption level that you want, you know, he was talking about doing that with uh twitter
01:04:30.200
And fixing all the problems that they have over there, but then he backed out of the deal
01:04:33.660
And I don't blame him. I mean a lot of the shit that twitter was purporting was just not true
01:04:40.620
I use twitter and I know a lot of the users that are on twitter are fraudulent. They're fake
01:04:45.420
They're sock puppet accounts or extra accounts or throwaway accounts or whatever, you know, they're just shit talker accounts
01:04:52.160
Um, you know, which is why I said earlier. I mean, you know
01:04:55.220
Take a look at somebody's life so that you can evaluate them before you know, you take it seriously
01:05:00.140
Um, and even that is hard to do, you know, like I said, there's a lot of fakes
01:05:06.760
That will hold out to the public that there's something that they're not
01:05:14.460
Let me share this story and then i'll wrap up. Um
01:05:23.540
There's always like a cafe a coffee shop or something like that and you get together with your friends, you know, you go
01:05:29.140
Hang out. It's 11 o'clock at night traffic's died down. You're gonna have a
01:05:33.220
Hot drink of coffee get the caffeine levels up and you're gonna go and you're gonna ride the ramps or find twisties or there's a
01:05:40.400
There's always new guys that would come to the cafes
01:05:42.920
And they would be like oh, I want to come riding with you and they'd have like the latest greatest motorcycle a ducati a sport bike a crotch rock
01:05:49.680
Or whatever happened to be and we'd always be open to bringing them with us
01:05:56.960
Was easy because all you had to do was look at their tires and not the rear tire
01:06:00.920
You would look at the front tire because there's a wear wear pattern like if I take
01:06:05.260
Something round like this over here. You can see it's like a circle, right?
01:06:09.640
When you lean and the tire rolls over on the road, it starts to wear on the inside of the tire
01:06:14.340
Okay, and if they didn't have wear on the inside of the tire, they didn't know how to ride around corners
01:06:18.960
They were just straight line riders and that was their level of skill
01:06:22.180
And we didn't want to take them along because we didn't want them to one to hold us up or two to get hurt trying to keep up with us
01:06:27.160
So we'd only roll with experienced riders that were you know, like kind of newer to the group or something like that
01:06:32.140
Posers aren't always easy to identify when you don't know what to look for and I don't think most people know what to look for when it comes to
01:06:38.940
People holding out to the public that they're experts in certain areas
01:06:42.320
Aka you see a lot of it in the mano swamp and the red pill and all sort of stuff
01:06:45.720
And a lot of them, you know over time sunlight will sanitize it and you know the truth gets revealed
01:06:52.180
But at the end of the day, you know, the real problem is with the person that you need to hold accountable
01:06:57.540
Which is the guy that looks at you in the mirror in the morning
01:06:59.380
That's the guy that you need to hold accountable. Don't worry about holding women accountable holding mano swamp creators accountable
01:07:06.620
Give up on all of it immediately. Okay, because self-help
01:07:11.160
Those two words self yourself and help doing it yourself, you know for yourself
01:07:15.600
Starts from within starts with you holding the guy in the mirror accountable and making sure that that guy's the best version of himself
01:07:20.860
Making sure that he's living up to standards that you set and you set high enough standards for him to live up to
01:07:26.440
And then you start getting on with the business to doing the work making the money developing the masculine frame looking good
01:07:31.940
Getting rid of excuses, you know, oh, I got hit by lightning. It's mother nature's fault taking ownership for everything
01:07:39.100
Get hit by lightning. It's your fault, right? Take ownership for everything. Okay, everything in your life
01:07:45.520
Losing the victim mindset destroying all of those like old world plugged in bullshit beliefs that don't serve you that don't help you level up
01:07:53.420
That don't get you the results that you want out of life
01:07:55.340
Stop playing that victim mindset stop like, you know the whole oh, you know women are just whatever
01:08:08.820
Ten being the best version of yourself the absolute best that you can possibly be and one being the worst and if you're nowhere near a ten
01:08:15.680
You have some fucking work to do. Let's be honest
01:08:18.440
Pretty much everybody that watches any kind of men's self-help manno swamp content. They're nowhere near a ten
01:08:24.260
That's why they're there because they're looking for answers. So go and start doing the work on yourself
01:08:29.320
That's all this message really is is just get out there and do the damn work cancel culture sucks
01:08:34.520
Sorry, sorry about the top g, you know, i'm sure he'll be back. He'll figure something out
01:08:44.740
My dad always used to say just get out there and kick ass richard. Just do it
01:08:50.520
Okay, i'm gonna wrap it up. I think it's time to get her going i'm getting together with a couple of boys from my group tonight
01:08:56.840
Uh a little bit of housekeeping. I should probably mention since i'm on the stream. Uh, my
01:09:02.380
school of entrepreneurship opens up next monday
01:09:07.800
Unplugged alpha podcast monday night at 8 p.m on the unplugged alpha podcast channel
01:09:14.600
Uh, you already know that it's opening if you're not you should get on it because that's where you get first notification and some more information about it
01:09:21.200
I've taken everything that i've learned over the years as an entrepreneur for the last 20 plus years
01:09:26.740
In my own business in the guys that i've coached in the business world in the guys that i've collaborated with
01:09:36.580
How to be a better entrepreneur at events through hiring coaches and all that shit
01:09:41.560
I've taken it all i've distilled it down and i've gotten right down to the meat and potatoes
01:09:47.020
Actually, there's more than that because I because i've uploaded some new content since I did the original recordings
01:09:52.060
There's plenty of useful lectures in there. Let's just say
01:09:55.640
So if you're the kind of guy that's like i'm stuck in a job that I hate and I want more for myself
01:10:02.580
If you're running a business that isn't profitable and you've got that entrepreneurial sort of like
01:10:07.380
And you're not making proper money meaning you're not generating over a million dollars a year in revenue
01:10:12.020
You're nowhere close to it. You don't see the light at the end of the tunnel to make that happen
01:10:15.220
It's got it all in there for you. All right opens monday closes six days later
01:10:19.580
Delivering the content doing zoom calls i'll explain it all on monday night on my channel
01:10:23.920
But get on my email list if you don't know about it launches on monday
01:10:33.180
Again guys, it just boils down to getting out there and doing the damn work and staying away from the losers
01:10:37.380
Don't work with losers. Don't surround yourself with losers. There's anchors and sails in life
01:10:42.600
Make sure that you're doing things that fill your sails with wind and take you to the north next port of call
01:10:47.940
Cut the fucking anchors loose and get rid of the losers
01:10:50.920
You will always be the average of the five people you spend the most time with you surround yourself with five
01:10:56.260
Fat broke dumb lying losers. You will be the sixth. Have a good night. Peace out
