one of the biggest issues plaguing modern men is that the vast majority of them lack a tribe of
00:00:08.640
other virtuous trustworthy masculine men who gather for the sole purpose of improving
00:00:13.680
themselves and their lives on a daily basis most men simply float through space working
00:00:21.120
a dead-end job only to go home to a nagging wife or girlfriend that doesn't respect them
00:00:25.600
their friend circles are nothing but fat low testosterone losers who are more concerned
00:00:31.760
what sports teams are playing this weekend what bar they're going to watch the game at
00:00:37.840
if these men are lucky enough to unplug from the comforting lies that modern society sells them
00:00:42.560
and decide they want more out of life they look around and realize they need to get into a better
00:00:46.560
room that's where a private community of men chasing excellence comes in
00:00:55.600
the men in our community have all committed to being the best versions of themselves they can
00:00:59.600
possibly be they willingly run toward challenges knowing that pushing themselves out of their
00:01:05.440
comfort zones is the key to unlocking their true potential as men if you're ready to take control
00:01:12.320
of your life back and curate a network of successful and knowledgeable men now is the time to seize the
00:01:18.400
opportunity all right and we are back with another podcast on this channel and playlist today i have
00:01:36.400
homath um i found his uh content interesting i actually find his is his stuff on social media um
00:01:44.000
on x very compelling so i've enjoyed um interacting there and seeing what's going on so i thought it'd
00:01:49.600
be cool to have him on a lot of you guys uh seem to watch his content already so you're pretty familiar
00:01:54.640
with it um we're gonna go with matt today rather than calling him ho or math or math or whatever so
00:02:00.960
we're just gonna call him matt but um yeah we'll you know we'll run as long as we need to and um dive
00:02:06.640
down some rabbit holes and sort of uh shoot the i just like having conversations with cool and
00:02:10.560
interesting people so matt welcome to the show hey how's it going thanks for having me um i want
00:02:16.880
to start kind of with the channel and and uh you know like like the build up for it because i mean
00:02:21.920
like youtube's not an easy gig for a lot of people i know yeah tons and tons of people that have tried
00:02:26.000
it and they just sort of flop and fail and they have to give up eventually but you managed to carve
00:02:30.720
out a really interesting niche um sort of scribbling away and walking people through uh concepts that
00:02:36.800
um you illustrate along the way which is which is totally new i don't think i've seen anybody do
00:02:42.480
that yet yeah yeah you know that's the more that i think about it the more i'm surprised by that there
00:02:49.280
are some channels that were like uh god i hope i don't space on the name now there was i think grade
00:02:55.040
a under a and then there was another guy who he you know he drew really simple like his characters
00:03:00.880
always had this curly hair but they had like the big eyes too and he people say that i remind them
00:03:08.160
of him he he you know drew simple things like this too but in terms of like self-help or you know
00:03:17.920
modern dating or uh how to figure out life stuff i don't i don't think i've seen that either and the
00:03:25.200
more i think about it the more i am surprised that nobody has done it because it's such it's just such an
00:03:30.880
effective medium i was talking about this on x yesterday made a post about anime and how cartoons
00:03:38.320
are really boiled down because when you look at something this simple you don't have to process
00:03:42.800
anything but a couple of circles a couple of dots and a couple of lines and it removes everything
00:03:48.960
else from your perception other than just the things that you need to look at which reduces a lot
00:03:55.360
of noise it's like it reduces the mental processing which increases the speed at which you learn
00:04:00.480
and i guess it is kind of strange that nobody else has done that yet and i stumbled on it too i didn't
00:04:07.600
really plan it what was the inspiration well the inspiration was i just kind of um was cranky
00:04:16.240
at a video that that came up on tick tock like my life was going really well in uh 2019 and then
00:04:23.840
covid ruined everything and my my life was just a burning disaster for years and i was just uh living
00:04:30.160
in my mother's extra home with no job going nowhere just like nothing left after covid and i was just
00:04:37.040
being cranky at a tick tock video and i responded to it and it got 4.3 million views and i said oh okay i
00:04:42.320
have a career now that was on your first try well yeah it was the first it was the first time that i
00:04:48.400
ever uh uh commented like did a stitch on a girl's video it was a girl saying what was it uh men with
00:04:55.760
no hose where are you and then i drew the the one to ten chart and i showed her where they were like
00:05:02.240
you're not answering them on bumble and everyone loved it so i just kept going that's where i got the
00:05:06.560
name too the first uh when i woke up in the morning and i realized it was going viral the first comment
00:05:11.840
was i didn't expect to wake up to homeath and they used the e and everything and so i was just like
00:05:15.920
okay that's amazing yeah that's luke that's yeah it's a huge fluke dude like i don't think you
00:05:22.720
understand what the chances of something like that happening they're it's unrealistic yeah it's
00:05:28.080
exceptionally low because i mean for most guys that i've talked to that have had success uh creating
00:05:33.200
content or on youtube they usually most guys will be like yeah you know i was yeah i was committed
00:05:38.560
for like a year to two like i think when i was talking to um dr ryan tarabani was like yeah i was
00:05:44.240
i was committed to two videos a week for 24 months before i was gonna give up and i think you know his
00:05:49.200
first video video popped after about a year maybe 13 or 14 months i think he said so that was like
00:05:55.600
pretty much the same experience that i had i mean i never really had a timeline or a deadline or
00:05:59.920
anything i was just like yeah i'm gonna stick a gopro in my windshield and talk i kind of ran out
00:06:04.400
of friends with cool cars to talk to but uh yeah you got super lucky man that was awesome that's a
00:06:09.840
crazy story yeah i'll have a cool car one of these days um i think i've watched enough of your videos
00:06:16.720
that i gathered that um there was obviously something that led you to examining yourself within
00:06:23.440
and sort of for sure getting red-pilled and i think it was like a weight issue and an awkward
00:06:28.400
issue sort of thing with women but yeah all of that um well yeah you know it i still it's been
00:06:35.280
difficult for the past few years i was doing better with health again in 2019 and then covet kind of
00:06:40.800
ruined everything and i've been up and down since then i'm still lifting i'm still getting cardio i'm
00:06:45.280
still eating healthy like i didn't i didn't never went back to like junk food the way that i used to
00:06:49.520
eat when i was a kid so i've made a lot of self-transformations a lot of them are in
00:06:55.840
um habits health habits a lot of them are in the the important ones are in how i construct the world
00:07:03.600
this is something that i recognized for the first time when i was 26 i went to a party that was being
00:07:09.040
thrown by a girl i was dating and i had known her since i was 11. and it was everyone from high
00:07:16.480
school was there and i hadn't seen them since i was 18. and they all said that they didn't recognize
00:07:22.400
me and i was a different person i was like why are you not why are you exactly the same and uh it it
00:07:29.360
kind of became clear to me that people don't do that self-examination they don't think about
00:07:37.360
am i thinking the right thing and and am i relating to the world in the right way they just kind of get
00:07:42.400
set up and then they keep going with it so the motivation for all that was not it wasn't really
00:07:48.400
conscious i just kind of have always um been i've always valued not staying the same just to say
00:07:57.600
stay the same i've always valued uh being wrong when i'm wrong and and so then i have the opportunity
00:08:06.160
to become more right and what got me particularly into this you know what what gave me the skill set
00:08:15.520
that i have to do what i do now was number one a lot of experience with women which came after i
00:08:20.080
got fit it was just like flicking a light switch after i lost the weight and put on not even like a
00:08:25.680
lot of muscle like i would say that it was i got pretty uh jacked at at several points but that wasn't
00:08:31.920
even necessary for it but just getting fit flipped a light switch with women and i understood women
00:08:40.320
differently and um that conflicted with everything that i was told growing up which is a really common
00:08:48.480
story i think even tupac is on video talking about that at some point where he said when you try to be
00:08:53.840
nice it doesn't work and then you do what they say is the wrong thing and it works yeah there's a stitch
00:08:58.400
somewhere on the internet of tupac prior to sort of getting red-pilled and and post and it's like
00:09:03.680
you can see there's two different men there yeah yeah mm-hmm it's like the before and after yeah
00:09:10.080
and what should you weigh when you're fat what's that how much did you weigh when you're fat oh the
00:09:14.720
most was like 265 at 5 foot 11 so it was pretty it was pretty bad it was like a 46 inch waist or
00:09:22.160
something oh yeah okay and then i got all the way down to 34 at one point 34 and how much weight um the
00:09:29.200
lowest that i was ever at this height was 188 so i lost about 100 pounds of fat and put on like 20
00:09:35.520
pounds of muscle yeah that's the i think you showed a couple of pictures in one of your videos
00:09:40.800
um you know you blurred out your face but it was kind of like a mirror selfie and you look pretty
00:09:44.960
pretty solid i'm a little bit taller than you and i have some pictures looking like that too
00:09:48.400
at my absolute best when i was natural younger guy um yeah it's a game changer i mean i was i was a
00:09:54.560
skinny lad i i had i was basically malnourished when i was a kid um but um yeah putting on the
00:10:02.160
weight definitely not weight like as in weight weight but like muscle uh completely changed the
00:10:07.680
way that the world treats you like you know men uh treat you different uh business opportunities
00:10:12.320
improve they respect you more women certainly eyeball you more i think the um i think the epiphany
00:10:18.240
moment for me was i was dating this girl i was in my early 20s like maybe 22 or 23 and we were
00:10:22.640
watching the air show at the waterfront and i was wearing these pants that used to be a little
00:10:27.680
snugger on me so they were kind of hanging a little lower than normal because i'd lost weight and i was
00:10:31.520
and i was pretty ripped and then and she got mad at me you know she came up to me she's like can you
00:10:36.560
pull your pants up you know you're acting like a what did she say um calvin climate underwear model
00:10:42.560
or some like that like totally chirped me out i was like holy crap that's a compliment if i ever heard
00:10:47.760
one yeah yeah that that was i had i had a moment like that too there was a girl that i was dating
00:10:53.520
when i was heavier and then uh she went away and came back after i lost the weight and she actually
00:10:59.600
like she she pulled one of these she stopped and stood up on her toes and then she said oh my god
00:11:05.360
you're an adonis and i went oh i didn't expect yeah that that many nice things yeah men severely
00:11:11.600
underestimate the importance of um i mean you know it's usually blanket it called self-care but
00:11:18.160
doing the work on yourself so that you're fit and you're in good shape because it it matters
00:11:22.400
it matters a lot it really does make a big difference and it's anybody can do it i mean
00:11:26.400
not everybody can be rich but just about anybody can be fed all you have to do is eat decent calories
00:11:30.960
and pick up heavy stuff and if you're in your 20s your body will respond very easily i think anyway
00:11:36.240
yeah for sure i i think i think that's true for almost everybody like it's difficult to
00:11:45.040
deal with like people are living such unnatural stressful lives uh they're you know waking up to
00:11:51.680
alarms having their sleep interrupted they're working at jobs with the fluorescent lights blasting
00:11:55.680
in their eyes they're staring at screens all day they're eating hydrogenated oils and everything like
00:12:00.400
that it's difficult to tell people that it's necessarily easy to get fit if you know the
00:12:06.960
right choices and you can live the right lifestyle it becomes easy that's what was your inspiration like
00:12:12.640
where did you take the lead for self-care like getting fit and put on i don't i don't think that
00:12:17.600
i had an inspiration i think i just always kind of knew that it was a good idea and i didn't care until
00:12:23.600
after this bad relationship i had that that's that's the blue pill that that's i used to believe
00:12:30.080
that it doesn't matter they you know they tell you all those things oh dude it doesn't matter if you're
00:12:34.720
bad we're all equal or all we all have that like inner value and this girl did not agree and um i wanted
00:12:44.400
her to just like love me and and uh be happy with me as i am and that just is not the way that it works
00:12:52.080
and that's that's one of the biggest i i guess that that would probably be it it probably would
00:12:57.360
mostly be my bad relationship with that one particular girlfriend that gave me all the
00:13:02.960
evidence i need that those were lies that were not at the end of history we're not at a point where
00:13:09.680
all the old ways don't matter it's just like that's what humans are that's how we're set up to be and
00:13:15.360
you can either work with it or you can lose i'm assuming this was all before like the whole math channel
00:13:20.400
and all that right oh yeah that this was um this bad girlfriend was i was 22 when i met her 22 or 23
00:13:29.520
and that was in 2008 was the last time i saw her okay so uh yeah this has only been a year and a half
00:13:37.600
i mean from the videos that i've seen you've got a you've got a good grasp of the sexual marketplace
00:13:42.800
and what women respond positively to and what they respond negative negatively to and translating
00:13:48.320
their um tick tocks into understandable clips yeah um has has your view on women changed since since
00:13:58.400
you've updated your beliefs there well when when do you mean like since when i was 23 or since the
00:14:04.560
last year and a half um you know since you sort of figured out like i think that one of the things
00:14:09.680
that i've used you know youtube for if i can be honest is especially in the early years you know
00:14:14.160
for the first few years i almost use it to sort of like work out it's like okay i'm reading these
00:14:18.320
books i'm watching a video i read a study there's an evo psych book that i went through sort of thing
00:14:22.320
and it's like i kind of was working ideas and concepts out i was talking to people i was doing
00:14:27.040
a lot of consults as well because i'd done it my um businesses prior so i almost use the stuff that
00:14:33.680
i was learning to sort of work it out and i kind of see you doing the same sort of thing with
00:14:36.880
your videos like when you're doing the visuals and the drawing so i'm just wondering you know
00:14:41.360
like as you've sort of gone through this journey and you've updated your beliefs and you've created
00:14:44.800
all these animations and all these videos that have that have gotten a lot of views um have you have
00:14:49.840
you changed your perspective on relationships and women and how yeah not not really in the last year
00:14:57.920
and a half i would say that all of the big changes in the way that i view women in relationships
00:15:05.280
happened when i became successful with them when they started when i started being the bad boy that
00:15:11.040
they that was bad for them and they couldn't quit when when i became that guy i was like oh i understand
00:15:18.480
a lot of behavior now i understand why they would do this and that and that when you're the other guy
00:15:25.280
when you're the nice guy they just don't have those feelings like we that's that's you know that's the
00:15:31.200
whole point behind this thing i need to i i always feel this perpetual need to refine these things and
00:15:37.440
make them clearer and use better words and better graphics but i the the reason that i made this thing
00:15:43.520
and tried to make it nice to look at it everything is because i like men really have to realize that
00:15:49.920
when we go out and we look at women we're like okay nice nice nice nice nice nice nice nice and they
00:15:55.120
they just don't and that's something that yeah just does not sink in with a lot of men and um getting
00:16:04.000
behind that like getting that realization uh it transforms everything that you think about society
00:16:11.840
if you apply it well enough if you understand the feminine selectiveness and you understand how much
00:16:18.640
feelings matter because feelings are everything people like to say uh facts over feelings and
00:16:25.280
everything but it's feelings that motivate you it's like we use facts to get what our feelings want and if
00:16:32.800
you don't understand the feelings of other people you don't you don't understand anything so all of that
00:16:41.280
happened really between the time like the first time that i ever got fit and covet basically
00:16:48.320
as i was just gaining more and more experience and learning more and more about people and about
00:16:53.280
how they think and about how it works and in the last year and a half i have i'm kind of like done
00:16:58.320
i like i hate to say it i think i i think i might be uh uh cooked in in every sense other than uh career
00:17:04.880
wise because like things are going really well with that but i i since covet haven't even really wanted
00:17:10.160
to go outside i haven't been social i haven't been um motivated to do that i just get everything
00:17:18.000
that i need delivered basically um so yeah no i haven't updated my views that much since i've
00:17:25.680
started there's always details about things that i learned from like i'll post a video and then a lot
00:17:32.640
of women will comment and they'll say actually actually actually one of the things that i didn't
00:17:37.440
know was a really big problem was when the mid guy gets a girl above his station then suddenly he
00:17:44.720
thinks he's on her level and he tries for better and then she uses him and then they both lose i i
00:17:50.720
didn't know that so many men were um unconscious that they were doing well and then you know tried to um
00:17:59.520
like didn't appreciate it or not appreciative of when they landed something better than they really
00:18:04.720
should have when you see women sort of uh dating down is there an age range that you know that
00:18:11.520
you've seen this what do you mean when you see women dating down like a less attractive guy yeah
00:18:16.560
like i think i know what you're saying because i mean what what usually happens on a woman's journey
00:18:20.320
i find is that they'll spend their 20s you know in the party years and having fun and hooking up and
00:18:25.040
building their career and blah blah blah and being you know building up the boss girl sort of thing
00:18:29.760
then at some point they get to their you know late 20s early 30s and they realize that you know their
00:18:35.840
friends are having children and families and their biological clocks start screaming at them and they
00:18:40.640
figure out they got to settle down and they realize that there's a limited amount of time and the
00:18:43.760
window is getting smaller and smaller so they tend to usually settle for guys like i think that one of
00:18:48.240
the things that a lot of women do is and this probably contributes to the divorce rate too is that they
00:18:54.000
don't get their first choice they end up getting guys that are their third fourth or fifth choice
00:18:58.640
yeah i think that's how they end up in that scenario where you get like a guy that's a six that ends up
00:19:02.880
with a seven or an eight and fundamentally because women are hypergamous they want to look up to a guy
00:19:06.560
they want to they want to adore the man yeah i think that's how a lot of marriages end and a lot of um
00:19:12.000
you know knots get untied and they you know they go off and try to hit the road running with a new guy
00:19:17.440
yeah that's it's a very unfortunate it's like built into humanity i think it was
00:19:21.680
i don't want to get it wrong i'm getting all the names wrong today it might have been um young or
00:19:25.360
freud or someone who said that the husband is often a substitute for the beloved there was some
00:19:30.800
quote like that it's just this it goes all the way back into history that the the you know we all
00:19:36.640
want to feel that that wonder and amazement and that you know excitement for our our whoever we are
00:19:43.280
with and it's so much easier for a man to do that because like a guy five can meet a girl five and
00:19:49.200
be really excited about her it's just less likely to happen the other way around and so most men have
00:19:55.600
to make up for that by providing which is a very neat explanation for why when the man loses his job
00:20:03.040
the marriage falls apart because that's compensatory he's making up for not being the beloved object so
00:20:10.960
she's like well you're good enough you know it's like uh it's like just because of the way that
00:20:17.680
we're built psychologically most marriages end up kind of in this area it's like if if you get lucky
00:20:23.920
you get a guy who treats you really well most people get a guy who treats you well enough and
00:20:28.480
he's attractive enough but she's not thrilled and then as soon as somebody more attractive comes along
00:20:33.040
it's like disaster and yeah it's rough it's rough i mean it's it's it's tough coaching guys on that
00:20:39.520
too and and making it clear to them that like you know you try to get through a guy's head and say
00:20:44.720
she should be asking for your commitment and that sounds foreign to them and they don't understand that
00:20:49.440
if she likes you enough and she desires you enough and sees you as an option that she can adore she will
00:20:55.360
ask for your commitment yeah um she'll go out of her way to get it she'll she'll she'll look the other
00:21:00.240
way and make concessions that uh she wouldn't for other guys and far too many guys are like oh she
00:21:06.720
touched my peepee and responded to my text within five minutes so i'm going to ask her to be my
00:21:10.880
girlfriend and then she's going to be my wife and we're going to go to church every sunday and
00:21:14.240
everything will be just fine and it's like that's not how it unfolds unfortunately for a lot of guys
00:21:19.440
yeah and that that's i mean it's like that's obviously exactly the right advice for how to get
00:21:26.240
the relationship that you want and at the same time not everyone can have that just because like
00:21:33.680
you can't match men and women up one to one such that everybody is thrilled some like a lot of people
00:21:41.440
are going to have to settle and that's one of the things that i really struggle with like i don't know
00:21:46.880
how to send people that message that number one you should be the guy that she's not settling for
00:21:53.360
and number two if you have to be then you should like admit that that's the best you can do at least
00:22:01.360
now and and do that rather than being bitter and checking out that's a hard that's a hard message to
00:22:08.800
sell that you you might not ever be the best but but you can still do better than nothing and and the
00:22:16.320
world kind of needs you to yeah yeah it's crazy it's crazy times um it's been said that you can
00:22:23.520
either love women or understand them what do you think of that statement i think you can love and
00:22:27.680
understand women i think you can it's it's difficult it's a it's a somersault for sure it's a trapeze act
00:22:34.960
um the the progression usually goes from loving women because you think that you that they're you
00:22:41.840
idealize them you think that they're nice you think they're the good sex and you think that they're
00:22:46.800
um returning your feelings and then when you begin to understand them there's the what do they call
00:22:54.240
it the bitterness phase the anger phase something like that they have a red pill term for it red pill
00:22:58.640
rage is the one they use right yeah like it like that and if you and that happened to me too when i
00:23:04.720
started seeing women behave like this i was like oh my god i don't even know what women are anymore
00:23:09.360
and i did get um i did get bitter and i got i kind of about certain ones in particular who who
00:23:18.560
exhibited certain behaviors i was like well i don't need to care about you then if you're going to be
00:23:22.240
like that then i don't need to care about you but if you keep going and you get to the point where you
00:23:28.640
understand that that's just how they're built and that there's also a how we're built and we have our
00:23:37.040
our own faults and so do like blue jays and earthworms and like everything is built in a
00:23:42.000
certain way and when you recognize that that's just the way that that they are you can let go of that
00:23:48.720
like animosity you can let go of that um i wish they weren't that way because what good does that do
00:23:56.320
what good does it do to wish that you know the ocean wasn't so big are you gonna go get a cup and fix it
00:24:02.000
like you can't fix what you don't like about women so when you understand what's going on with
00:24:09.520
them subconsciously and the fact that most of them will remain subconscious permanently then you can
00:24:15.040
just take what you know they're gonna do and put it in the boxes that work for you and uh and that's
00:24:21.520
the best that you can do you don't have to you don't have to um not love them at that point because
00:24:27.600
they're still human we're still all yeah doing this this being alive thing and it's yeah i think
00:24:33.040
you're right you kind of move back and forth through the through those different areas where it's like
00:24:36.240
you know you love them then you understand them then you have a hard time loving them then you realize
00:24:40.000
like when you understand them and you can accept them for what they are then there's parts of them
00:24:43.040
that you can love and sort of like just surrender to parts of that it's yeah it's an interesting change
00:24:49.440
enough belief yeah surrender is a big that's a big um that's a big challenge i think i don't know how
00:24:59.120
it worked in times past i don't know what people used to do i know that this is probably well the the
00:25:06.320
way that you don't get what you want in life and so you're gonna be you're gonna have to be happy with
00:25:12.080
what you get they if you watch old movies or whatever they have people in the like the pilgrim hats with the
00:25:17.360
buckle or whatever and they all say these nice folksy things about how you just churn your butter
00:25:22.640
and that's your life and you have to be like thank god for it and today there's a lot of there's not
00:25:29.360
a lot of gratitude there's a lot of bitterness and envy and like there's people all scratching teslas
00:25:34.320
with their car keys because they say it's because they're fighting nazis or whatever but it's really
00:25:39.920
they don't like their lives and they want someone to take it out on what i'm saying is is is like how
00:25:45.920
much of that is because of how we live and how much of that is the human condition
00:25:51.520
yeah that's an interesting question man have you read a lot of evo psych um i haven't really
00:25:56.480
formally read evo psych like i learned about it a long time ago and whenever it pops up on the internet
00:26:02.240
i'll read it but i've never like opened a book interesting yeah where'd you get all the um like
00:26:07.280
details and data from that you've compiled um whenever whenever i start to make a video whenever i have
00:26:13.440
an idea and i'm responding to a video the the process that i do is i go through because i've
00:26:20.320
been good at explaining this stuff for a really long time way longer than i've had the channel and i've
00:26:25.200
always like helped my friends through it and i always wanted to be a life coach um since maybe 2011
00:26:31.840
i started developing that skill and so i have a really good sense of when i can explain something
00:26:38.640
and when i can't so like i know what i know and i know what i don't know so as soon as i get the idea
00:26:44.160
for a video and i know what i'm going to say i just look it up as i go and i just go what is this about
00:26:50.000
and what is that about like i'm i'm hoping to release a video today on uh there's a girl who asks what is
00:26:57.840
a high body count like what is the limit and then i explain this to her right here the purity section how
00:27:03.600
it's not just body count but it's also like how many kids do you have how many guy friends uh what
00:27:08.960
kind of guy you know what situation were you cheating was he cheating like all that stuff factors
00:27:13.920
in it's not just the number and um as i was doing it i looked up basically the relationship of body
00:27:21.760
count to divorce and there was a study that said that the worst number was two and i mean there's so much
00:27:29.440
did you look at the full teachman study i know i didn't see that one yeah there's a full study that
00:27:35.440
there's two versions of it one goes up to 11 they stopped collecting the data after that and there's
00:27:39.760
another one that goes up to i think 21 they stopped collecting the data after that but
00:27:43.680
um it gets progressively worse but but the shorter study says um three is actually better than two
00:27:50.240
most scenarios which was interesting but a virgin as a as a i think it's something like an 80
00:27:55.120
something plus percent chance of a happy marriage you know um somebody that's been through you know
00:28:01.600
like a dozen dicks and it ends up being like less than 30 so there's definitely a core correlation and
00:28:08.720
like it's tough like i was you know thinking about this you know the other day when i was in the car
00:28:11.760
i was gonna make a video and i was like you know maybe make a video and call this one you know the the
00:28:16.720
the chart that ruined marriage for me sort of thing um yeah probably be the you know best way to
00:28:21.680
title but there's there's certainly a correlation and a lot of the stuff that i've come to learn is
00:28:27.280
is mostly through like the evo psych studies um david bus labs um he's he's he's got the most
00:28:34.160
compelling uh content and there's other people that sort of review it um i'm listening to one now on
00:28:40.160
darwinism which is which is kind of interesting but uh yeah there's tons of source material out there
00:28:44.880
it's it's never ending yeah it's it's the way that i that i go about it just for
00:28:50.880
just for the sake of efficiency because you know i'm not a researcher or an academic i don't i don't
00:28:56.320
claim to be um what i what i claim to do is uh i offer you know insight and understanding and that's
00:29:03.280
like it's basically an extension of life coaching which is what i do like i just explain to people
00:29:11.840
these are the lessons that you haven't learned yet and i and i like find a way to get them through to you
00:29:18.160
and the lowest number of words and the lowest number of lines and simple colors and the data
00:29:23.680
and everything is just like a support for that so a lot of it i learn as i go um i definitely didn't
00:29:30.000
expect for two to be worse than three and i don't have an explanation for it um i don't have an
00:29:37.200
explanation for a lot of this stuff i'm trying to think of a second example but there are some things
00:29:42.800
that pop up that make me go oh that's not what i would have thought but i have to record that yeah
00:29:49.920
it's not significantly worse it's just worse and then and then it gets worse again after that once
00:29:54.080
you get like four or five and plus yeah but um yeah it's disappointing to learn you know men have
00:29:59.920
men have always desired chastity and that's not going to change despite what you know women keep
00:30:05.360
telling each other you know you can be promiscuous with impunity and go out there and do whatever you
00:30:09.520
want girl and they're learning the hard way that um you know they're getting i mean smart guys won't
00:30:15.440
wife up a woman that's got a big notch count anyway yeah um and i think even guys that don't get it
00:30:21.920
inherently like hardwired hardwired into their dna are repulsed by women with a promiscuous past
00:30:27.760
even if they don't understand all these concepts so yeah yeah it's never gonna go away when you when
00:30:32.240
you have that conversation like i used to live in uh in two different large cities and i would meet all
00:30:39.040
these women who were just gorgeous and intelligent and i really loved being around them and then we
00:30:45.360
would have the the conversation or not really have the conversation but she would drop the information
00:30:53.280
and uh i'm trying to time this right there we go um and i would experience the drop-off right here
00:31:01.040
where it's like this is how attached i am to her the blue line and the pink is how attached she is to me
00:31:06.240
and about right at about the two month mark she goes here's all the disgusting things i did in my
00:31:11.680
past and i go oh that's this isn't gonna last and i just go and she doesn't notice for a little while
00:31:18.080
and it just kind of dies off but there have been yeah several times where there was someone i really
00:31:23.120
liked and then she told me not only what she used to do but some of them say what they intend to keep
00:31:29.440
doing like polyamory and all that there there was a a girl who told me at one point like she cheated on
00:31:37.440
someone with me and i found out and i said to her you should not cheat it's not nice and so she thought
00:31:44.720
that meant that i wanted to marry her so she dumped the guy for me and i said that was not what i said
00:31:50.080
i can't i can't i'm not going to be with you i know you're a cheater you're going to cheat on me too and
00:31:55.440
what she said was but i'm worth it back to the table talk huh yeah yeah but i'm worth it yeah that
00:32:05.120
was that was like one day from from 90 to 10 percent i was like and i mean like the interesting
00:32:10.960
about that that two months or six months in it's like that's just the tip of the iceberg that's what
00:32:15.920
she's willing to tell you there's a lot of stuff that they're unwilling to tell you that resides below
00:32:21.200
the surface and just like an iceberg most of it still resides below the surface so that's a strong
00:32:25.600
indicator that you're dealing with a woman of low moral character so it's a yep it's a pretty quick
00:32:30.000
way to assess them it is yeah it's um it's very uh it's very sad it's very disappointing to think of um
00:32:39.760
like how much human capital got deceived into into being that way because these are these are not like
00:32:47.520
dumb ugly girls it's like these could have been really like great parts of families great mothers
00:32:57.040
and wives and instead they just want to have their good feelings all the way through their 20s and early
00:33:03.760
30s and then complain about where did all my good feelings go without ever introspecting as to why we
00:33:09.760
might not want i have a theory about about the creation of this i'll you know i'll run it up the
00:33:14.960
flagpole and see if you salute this idea so it's something like 40 of households are single
00:33:21.200
parent households which translates to single mother the vast majority of the time because they get the
00:33:24.960
custody so the vast majority of children today start out in vast majority a lot of children today aren't
00:33:31.200
raised with a father around and then you've got the other 60 odd percent where the father is around
00:33:35.120
and i think a lot of men are sort of plugged in beta males and they don't know how to set boundaries
00:33:38.560
and it's happy wife happy life and they just sort of go along to get along yeah and then you've got
00:33:44.400
whatever's left over with like the strong masculine virtuous fathers maybe they're like old school
00:33:49.040
you know like european or whatever with strong boundaries and rules sort of stuff
00:33:53.840
uh and they dispense good advice and they have um you know the the daughters maybe even have siblings
00:34:00.560
or older siblings brothers that also dispense good advice and then i wonder what percentage of the
00:34:06.000
women that get good advice aren't obedient to the advice and just go and do whatever they want anyway
00:34:10.960
yeah um you know which racks up a series of problems and i think that's why we have this
00:34:15.200
problem where we've got like such a small contingent of women that are actually like
00:34:18.320
good women that are capable of having a committed long-term relationship in a monogamous fashion can
00:34:22.880
bear pair bond to the guy and everything works out sure it's tough man you know you're dealing with a
00:34:29.760
lot of um you know we do this podcast on on the other channel called ladies night and i was talking to
00:34:36.080
him off about this the other day and it's like something like you know we figure something like
00:34:39.040
80 80 to 85 percent of women are just not capable of a good relationship like you wouldn't want to
00:34:45.760
invite them into your life it seems that way where do you get the number um well with ladies night you
00:34:53.360
can just observe the um you know the talent because because they're just random girls it's not like we
00:34:57.760
just you know pick uh you know trash or anything like that like they're just absolutely random girls that
00:35:02.560
this is like a a podcast yeah yeah we've done about a year and a half worth of episodes you
00:35:07.760
know once a week and then also you know when you sort of deal with like i think the father plays
00:35:14.560
such a significant role in sons and daughters lives and it's and it's doing something to really just
00:35:20.800
ruin the fabric of society at this point where they're either removed from the house they're deadbeat
00:35:26.000
losers maybe they are in the house and are plugged in betas and they're useless or if they are good men
00:35:30.960
that are also good at men and they give advice uh the daughters aren't obedient to the advice and
00:35:35.600
they just sort of cast it aside and go do whatever they want so i think you have a very small percentage
00:35:39.200
of women that are actually good at being yeah partners if you can put it that way you know if
00:35:44.000
i can use that word the of course yeah the the um i know exactly what you're talking about and i do you
00:35:50.720
know i'm very conspiracy minded i'm very like when i get really tired and stressed out where i go is
00:35:58.320
paranoia that's like uh that's my my disintegration direction and so i'm aware of that but at the same
00:36:06.000
time um i like to i like to be very objective and and rational about these kinds of things and i can't
00:36:14.320
i cannot see uh what's happening in our media culture and society as anything but deliberate the
00:36:21.200
way that the father is always a dumb uh he's a dope and a fool and uh like everybody loves raymond for
00:36:28.000
example uh there is you're familiar with john gottman right uh john gottman he's the author that
00:36:36.640
writes uh are we talking about the same guy the guy that writes book books on relationships yeah yeah he
00:36:42.960
was a marriage researcher yeah yeah and some of his advice actually sucks i i got one of his books he had a
00:36:49.600
soundbiting of it that was just awful huh that's uh i'll have to look into that what was some of the
00:36:54.560
bad advice do you remember um if i remember and i think i made a video of it because i was listening
00:36:58.240
to his book when i was driving and i was playing it and i actually played the clip he said something
00:37:01.840
along the lines of when a man asks a woman for sex and she declines then his best move is to say
00:37:08.720
oh okay so what could i do to maybe improve that or get a positive response would you like me to make
00:37:14.400
some popcorn and we can sit down and watch a movie together and cuddle first sort of thing and it's like
00:37:18.800
i was listening to that going are you kidding me like this guy's a expert on this subject like
00:37:22.880
this is what he's got yeah he's he's that's this is exactly what you're pointing to right now is
00:37:28.720
exactly the problem that i have with the social sciences and with research as applied to subjectivity
00:37:36.320
and consciousness and relationships he's observing when he does that what the woman says and does
00:37:42.880
and she'll say like it's the same way that they say if you help me with the chores it makes me horny
00:37:48.000
it's never true but they say it because that's what they want you to do and they have this subconscious
00:37:54.880
built-in thing where it's like i will trade sex or at least the promise of sex for service and so if you
00:38:01.840
you know make the popcorn have a conversation with her she'll say that she's happy with it but does it get
00:38:06.320
the behavior that you want and of course the answer is no um but i'm assuming that they couldn't observe
00:38:13.440
that part of the research for for obvious reasons um so yeah that's interesting and that tracks uh
00:38:22.560
but despite that uh gotman is still uh one of the he's one of the most widely acclaimed researchers for
00:38:31.520
what problems are going to predict divorce so he he would put uh couples in i think something like a
00:38:40.480
like a bed and breakfast uh for for a few weeks and watch their behavior and he would code their behavior
00:38:46.880
and say how many bids for attention would they respond to and how many positive and negative messages
00:38:52.480
and how much time they spend together and apart and everything like that and he coded it all and he found
00:38:58.000
that i i took a class in college where we looked at the 10 most the 10 strongest predictors of divorce
00:39:07.120
that came from gotman and they were all all of them are present in everybody loves raymond which is
00:39:12.080
why i brought that up so contempt is right at the top though isn't it yes yeah contempt is number one
00:39:17.920
and that's what the whole show is about it's deborah looking at raymond and going you idiot
00:39:22.080
yeah well that's what every every sitcom show has ever been about you know the cosby show
00:39:27.440
home improvement i mean even going back to the 80s and 90s when i was younger and used to watch a
00:39:32.880
lot of that television that's that's what the premise of each show was is the father's a bumbling
00:39:37.680
moron and then you'd watch commercials which would portray the man or the father in the house
00:39:42.720
as a bumbling moron and the women need to buy these cleaning products because he's such an idiot and
00:39:46.320
such a pig that it'll solve all other problems right yep yep and that stuff seeps into the
00:39:52.400
consciousness and um that's sort of what i'm illustrating here that there's people not just
00:39:59.600
women but you know it's what we're talking about at the moment they have a relationship to where they
00:40:04.560
come from and their family and their father figures and then they have a relationship to media and culture
00:40:09.920
and society and this is fun this is where all the fun is this is where all the sex is and
00:40:16.160
all of the drinking and all of the parties and all of the people who can give you validation
00:40:22.080
and then this is like it feels like being amish listening to your father and so things are just
00:40:30.560
going to keep going this way as long as the family is not empowered to raise the children as long as the
00:40:38.800
the father in particular is not empowered to say i you know here's where we're going here's where we're
00:40:44.240
not going i forbid this i i enable that they don't have that power anymore especially because divorce
00:40:50.960
is so easy and the mother can just take everything away from him and then spoil the kids and send them
00:40:55.120
to this that's what my parents did with me they they uh when i whenever i asked them anything whenever
00:41:02.560
i asked them to like teach me things like a child wants their parents to do they would say oh you learn
00:41:07.360
that from school and tv oh they do okay yeah um i just want to be respectful of your time how much
00:41:12.480
time you got by the way uh i've got i've got some time okay i've got uh i think like a good half hour
00:41:19.680
okay all right well um i want to get moving along then because there's a bunch of stuff i wanted to
00:41:23.440
talk to you about um the notion of marriage uh and children are are you planning to have kids i'm not
00:41:32.000
planning to there was a girl last year who uh came into my life she watched my content and bought
00:41:38.480
a life coaching session from me and then pursued me very aggressively she was a lot younger than me
00:41:43.360
and i told her um you know i'm kind of a mess right now since covet and everything there's going
00:41:49.920
to be a difficult period i don't have money yet i'm getting money i'll have money soon and you know i'm
00:41:56.080
going to have to do this and this and this and she said that's fine i'll deal with it and then she didn't
00:42:00.800
so we gave it a shot she wanted to have kids i think that i would have had no problem doing that
00:42:07.440
with her but at like as i am right now where i'm i'm not you know in a relationship i don't have an
00:42:15.520
active desire to i don't think you don't want to see you don't want to leave a name behind i don't
00:42:23.440
have i don't feel very strongly about it it's kind of almost foreign to me it's almost alien like i i
00:42:29.040
understand that that's what we're here for yeah that's what why you know that's where we came from
00:42:35.520
but for me it's just an unconscious motivation like i see women and i want to do the behaviors
00:42:40.640
that cause that to happen but when i think about it it's like when we're when we're done here and i
00:42:46.160
get up and turn around look at my apartment my first feeling is not going to be like where are all the
00:42:51.680
kids yeah that just doesn't i don't know where that is in my consciousness
00:42:58.400
what's that how old are you oh how old i am 40. okay oh yeah i guess um you mentioned that
00:43:06.560
somewhere i saw somebody reply to the post on x i think they called you a 40 year old incel or a
00:43:11.120
former incel yeah um and they had some kind words for me as well too i can't remember where they were
00:43:15.360
just yeah yeah yeah they've got a lot of kind words don't they um what do you usually get criticized
00:43:19.360
the most for incel is the most is the most popular thing people will say you know it's just boilerplate
00:43:25.920
it's just like libtard boilerplate it's incel it's racist it's uh anytime you tell the truth about
00:43:33.760
anything people threaten you um it mostly is people who don't know who i am haven't watched much of my
00:43:42.640
stuff don't have any idea what it is that i'm doing and they see me say one thing that they don't like
00:43:48.320
and then they from that extrapolate my entire life story um people will very often like this morning
00:43:54.720
i went on a tirade about video games and last night i did anime because i just really i really
00:44:00.720
can't see this world fixing itself with everybody believing that life is going to get better when you
00:44:09.920
go into escapism that entertainment and that feeling good is that there's so many like i quit video
00:44:15.920
games so long ago and i replaced them with so many things that are as fun and feel as good and also
00:44:23.280
make me a better person and i learned things and and i i wish i could get that through to them
00:44:28.880
but when you challenge that they just they just really tighten up like what like what did you swap
00:44:33.760
out video games for oh um well i have played guitar since i was 16 but when i gave up video games i
00:44:41.520
started practicing a lot more and i became quite good at it um i also learned to sing in the car when
00:44:48.880
i was delivering pizza and now i will do that at home i read a lot i do a lot of reading and studying and
00:44:55.600
i i like to figure things out like right now i have a spreadsheet with all of the um notes like all the
00:45:04.640
the musical notes all the way from like c zero all the way up to b 12 or whatever uh and the the
00:45:11.520
frequencies and i have it in 432 hertz and 440 hertz and i'm what i'm trying to do is um analyze the
00:45:21.760
relationships between like the ratios between certain notes and why they give us certain feelings why does one
00:45:29.520
sound heroic why does one sound royal what is it about five to three like let me get that what is
00:45:36.560
it about five to three right that sounds royal or happy or sad i want to i want to see if i can
00:45:43.600
articulate that in the same way that i articulate relationship stuff did you ever see that video on
00:45:48.800
youtube breaking down john bonham and his rhythm on the drums no it's really interesting because he's
00:45:54.560
one of the best drummers out there you might want to look it up i think it would be right up your alley
00:45:57.840
yeah um i can't remember what the title is but it's but it's got millions of views it's really
00:46:01.600
interesting the way they sort of break down the way that he would hit the skins
00:46:06.400
yeah have you ever been diagnosed with anything on the spectrum no uh i did after covet again um
00:46:15.360
i needed some uh uh adderallus i can say it it's not that big of a deal and it's been man has that
00:46:23.360
been helpful for the last few years but when i went into the office to get it
00:46:28.000
right away the doctor said um have you ever been diagnosed with autism and i said no why and she
00:46:34.000
said well oh something about eye contact and something about your mannerisms a lot of people
00:46:38.480
think that i am on the spectrum i i don't know how i feel about all that i think that
00:46:46.000
classifying that as a disorder might be a bit ambitious no i don't think it's a disorder i think
00:46:51.840
for a guy like you i mean the way that you sort of work work stuff out and you sort of suss through
00:46:55.280
it you're i mean even if you were on the spectrum you'd be super highly functional kind of like an
00:46:58.800
elon musk sort of um character but i mean like you have a different way of sort of working through
00:47:05.120
stuff and thinking through stuff that you can take complex ideas and make them make sense to a
00:47:12.000
four-year-old or somebody in grade four you know if i put it that way um yeah it makes total sense um
00:47:18.960
i wanted to ask you about the anon approach to your channel because when i um like when i started
00:47:24.960
out my channel i didn't think for a minute to use a pen name uh hide my like i use my you can google
00:47:31.680
my name anywhere and you'll see every business that i run find my linkedin and all this kind of
00:47:34.960
shit so i didn't really put too much thought into it um i didn't think it was going to be a problem
00:47:39.440
just broadcasting myself because um i never really had problems when i was coaching guys starting up the
00:47:45.360
business or speaking at events or doing any of those things but the internet is a very different
00:47:50.240
places i'm sure you've come to understand did you did you plan to approach it from a from like a
00:47:55.440
a non-perspective did you have a job that you were trying to guard any issues from like what was the
00:47:59.600
plan for you that i i didn't really again have plans because i just sort of posted a video and then
00:48:05.200
woke up the next day but once i once i realized that i was going in that direction i guarded my identity
00:48:12.880
pretty tightly pretty quickly and the reason for that was mostly the the the fallout the like the
00:48:23.280
emotional fallout that i have still from the behavior of everybody i knew during covet and george floyd
00:48:30.160
they were people people turned into zombies and they were um you know threatening and derisive and
00:48:39.360
violent and uh i was like my entire life depended on this social group that i was a part of and the
00:48:46.480
way that they were behaving it was just is like very uncomfortable feelings for very long time and
00:48:56.080
when i realized that i was getting popular the first thing that i felt before like oh i'm gonna be
00:49:02.080
rich and maybe i'll be on joe rogan one day or anything before any of that stuff was i don't want
00:49:05.760
any of those people talking to me ever again i don't want anyone to to say oh i know who that is
00:49:10.400
and have my face everywhere i just want to make my stuff and be at home and um i thought about that for
00:49:18.080
a while and it never really became extremely clear like whether it's a good idea or not and what i'm
00:49:25.120
going to gain and lose by it it mostly is about comfort it mostly is about i just don't want to deal with
00:49:31.840
anything that would come from being known i think at some point somebody will recognize your voice
00:49:40.880
that knows you and then sure yeah it'll be out there but yeah um yeah it's a wise way to approach
00:49:46.640
it how many views do you get monthly on your channel now um well i've got a lot of channels so
00:49:51.600
my tick tock i have dropped i'm not really doing that anymore they don't pay anymore and they're very
00:49:57.440
ban happy too i think i got demonetized on tick tock and i just i don't care anymore i post so
00:50:02.400
little there on youtube i'm getting as i said i know it's several million views um i can't off the
00:50:11.440
top of my head remember but i know that it is um i'm gaining like 17 000 followers a month still
00:50:18.960
which is pretty good that's good yeah so it's growing pretty quick like if i ever get back to
00:50:24.560
posting the way i used to like several shorts a day i probably will get to a million by the
00:50:29.520
end of the year if it keeps going at this pace you'll get there in no time but yeah yeah with
00:50:33.360
that with that kind of viewership people will recognize you in uh public i mean the vast majority
00:50:39.040
sorry not not even the vast majority everybody that i've ever talked to in the public has always
00:50:43.120
been very nice i've always been grateful and thankful the haters never talk to you they just don't
00:50:48.000
i'm sure they've seen me but they just don't bother making an approach or saying anything
00:50:51.600
because you know the haters right yeah that you always hear that stuff about like the guy who went
00:50:56.160
to nick fuente's house with a gun right yeah you always hear about that i don't want to deal with
00:51:00.880
that but you know that is i guess pretty rare i guess that's that's one story and there's how many
00:51:07.120
people well i mean i don't know that's the thing it's like i haven't done a statistical analysis on it
00:51:12.240
there are all those conservative commentators getting swatted and i know i'm not necessarily a
00:51:17.120
conservative but i do say things that make people put me in the in the not not good guy camp yeah
00:51:25.360
so i don't know i actually don't i actually don't know if that's a a significant risk or not um
00:51:33.280
i think for a guy like you you're you're fine i mean you just sort of i mean i i take it as hey
00:51:38.880
this but i mean this is me but i take it as hey you know here's my assessment of the situation here's
00:51:42.720
some visuals to sort of help you understand it um bye um but uh yeah yeah there's always that notion
00:51:52.320
of like the crazies out there because you know the like i get asked some personal questions you know
00:51:56.800
sometimes on a stream and i'm more careful uh now about giving away certain pieces of information
00:52:04.480
um just because i don't need the unhinged lunatics um bothering me but yeah it's it's very good you
00:52:11.680
know for the most part um i'm not that worried about it like if it happens i'll deal with it
00:52:16.800
yeah but i'm not gonna i'm like i'm not excited to make it happen so yeah i gotcha um i think i saw
00:52:25.120
you mentioned somewhere that you'd gone on a bit of a walk about you decided to sort of move and find
00:52:29.600
a new place to live in the states can you talk about the reason behind that where you landed like
00:52:34.000
you know how much whatever detail you want to give out because yeah for sure because i'm curious
00:52:37.680
about it from my angle because i want to get the hell out of canada in a few years and you know
00:52:41.280
something from a guy that's sort of like done a little bit of uh exploring in that area yeah i've
00:52:45.200
been i've been all over the place i've looked at everywhere that i might want to live twice i've
00:52:50.960
seen everything i've driven all the way across the country three times one of them took me nine days
00:52:55.040
one of them took me i think like 32 days and then one of them took me a little bit over three months
00:52:59.840
that was my last trip so i went for that recently when you were putting out content too yes so that was in
00:53:05.920
over the last few months uh from august until november i basically it was the great lakes there's maine
00:53:13.760
florida texas um i basically like i i don't keep it a secret that i come from new england but i don't
00:53:19.760
get any more specific so i checked out some spots in new england i went down to penn pennsylvania
00:53:26.240
tennessee texas and i went to go see rudyard from what if alt hist this is very fun guy and then i went
00:53:32.720
over to nevada and out west and up to seattle and over to idaho and then i turned around and
00:53:41.200
stopped somewhere along the same route and i also have been i also drove across the country this way
00:53:48.080
and this way so i've seen quite a lot of it and the problem i'm having is that you really just like
00:53:54.800
it's the two americas problem um you have an america where people are are sane and then you
00:54:03.840
have an america that is pretty and so one of the things that i really really want is to live in a
00:54:11.120
place that has mountains and lakes and scenery and i i love california northern california and the west
00:54:18.400
coast of oregon all the way up to washington is my favorite place in the world if i could buy a house
00:54:23.280
there on the ocean or on a lake or something i would but i am just scared about where they're
00:54:28.560
going legally i'm scared about how like i hear that washington has an absurd crime rate and that
00:54:36.160
that's kind of new and they have all those laws like i don't want to live anywhere where if someone
00:54:43.600
breaks into your home and you defend yourself you're the bad guy yeah um that's anywhere by the way oh yeah
00:54:50.640
that's it's a nightmare and uh that that is a very real feeling to me because when i lived in the
00:54:57.760
city i lived in a very nice neighborhood i think it was the best neighborhood in the city i lived in
00:55:03.680
and during the george floyd stuff all of a sudden crime just moved into the neighborhood like literally
00:55:13.360
in one day it was it was a nice neighborhood and then the next day there were people getting attacked
00:55:19.680
on the street i could see it from my bedroom window there were cars getting car windows getting
00:55:23.760
smashed everywhere i saw a car jacking i saw one i started hearing gunshots and i was like i i don't
00:55:31.760
want to live in a place that has laws where i have to just lay down when somebody does something like
00:55:37.040
that to me so it's like if i want to live in a place that is still sane it's like tennessee or texas
00:55:43.200
and if i want to live in a place that's pretty it's like washington or california is out because they take
00:55:48.000
all of your money but it would be washington oregon maybe maine or new hampshire um those are you know
00:55:55.920
and maybe maybe nevada um near lake tahoe those are places that i'm considering i am um may or may
00:56:04.560
not be near one of those places right now but when i buy property and when i settle down it's probably
00:56:10.960
going to be either seattle-ish lake tahoe-ish austin um tennessee i think knoxville was my
00:56:19.920
favorite place in tennessee or new hampshire it'll probably be one of those and um and i can't really
00:56:26.240
tell you why because they all have such a different mix of things that i want like i just can't get
00:56:30.640
everything that i'm comfortable with did you have a look at florida too or no i did i'm not sure how much
00:56:37.760
i would be happy there i've been to florida uh loads of times mostly when i was a kid and my my
00:56:44.000
father my cousin lives there my father lives there i used to have an aunt who lived there a long time
00:56:47.920
ago she died like 15 years ago i think so i've been down there a lot um i'm not sure if i really like
00:56:56.800
always hot uh flat i'm not sure if i like the clientele i just don't i don't know florida is
00:57:02.720
culturally i don't know maybe the panhandle i haven't checked that out yet but it's good for
00:57:09.440
tax purposes and it's sane mostly yeah so it's it's a very complex decision yeah you guys have
00:57:18.880
i mean you have a lot more options in the states than we do in canada because it's pretty much the
00:57:22.560
same across canada it's just um whereas you know the states it's like how you kind of broke it out
00:57:27.680
you've got sane pretty you know you've got uh tax benefits there's even uh like there's certain
00:57:33.200
states like a lot of people ask me about kids often and there's a website called the national
00:57:37.120
parenting organization that releases a report card every year and they grade all the states based on
00:57:42.720
how friendly they are to fathers and there's even states in the us where um it's default 50 50 if you
00:57:47.840
get divorced there's no fight over the kids which solves a large chunk of the problems that most men
00:57:52.960
have if they ever have kids so there's a lot of a lot of optionality in the us that doesn't exist
00:57:58.560
here where i live and there's even a lot of people that i've seen that have just said f the states i'm
00:58:03.680
out i'm going to give up my citizenship and my passport and they go and become a citizen of another
00:58:08.800
country and get passports there sort of thing because they seem to think that there's even better
00:58:12.560
places in the us um so what are the popular ones um from what i've heard dubai obviously
00:58:21.200
um there's a country in south america i think it's uruguay it's supposed to be like the switzerland
00:58:28.560
of south america is what they call it um so there's you know there's a few options around
00:58:34.080
the world take a look at there's obviously you know like caribbean islands that i'm that i'm
00:58:37.760
contemplating too because they're relatively close to toronto it's easy to travel back and forth if i
00:58:42.000
need to so there's a few things that i'm sort of you know looking at but i think it's i think i'm
00:58:45.840
probably going to land somewhere in the appalachian area um i've got friends in kentucky tennessee
00:58:52.960
yeah i do kind of like for a little bit but i'm in the same boat as you it's like you know hot all
00:58:57.120
the time rains three times a day in the summertime the humidity is kind of annoying yeah um that
00:59:02.560
everything flat thing is bizarre to me yeah super flat super flat i can't really imagine everything
00:59:08.800
just being on a flat plate and then being around florida people who are you know you drove across
00:59:15.760
the country are you a car guy or uh i'm not really like a car um appreciator i'm a car
00:59:24.080
relier i i just i kind of just transport yeah i've always needed them so the um the the first time i
00:59:31.440
drove across the country was in a toyota corolla right and it was like a 2007 it was like you know i've
00:59:37.040
always been broke until i started making money doing this so it was like my mother gave me her
00:59:41.520
old toyota corolla and drove it across the country and then i did uh 8 000 uber rides with it and
00:59:47.040
couldn't drive it back so i bought another similar level car when when it comes to cars i mostly just
00:59:53.760
appreciate low maintenance rather than sportiness yeah you can't really go wrong with a corolla though
01:00:00.560
yeah exactly so now that i'm making money i'm wondering if i can afford to get something with
01:00:07.200
a little bit more performance but i don't think i would ever go for like a luxury car you know i'm
01:00:13.200
thinking of something that might have a zero to 60 of like under six seconds and maybe some off-road
01:00:19.760
capability like just maybe a mid to high level suv but not ever like i think if i had a billion dollars
01:00:26.400
i probably would not buy a lamborghini okay so you're not a car guy you just know yeah
01:00:33.040
interesting yeah yeah it's just never it's one of those things that's never done anything for me
01:00:38.160
it's very similar to the to the do you want kids question it's like i get that the car would be fun
01:00:43.280
but i would feel like god there's a million dollar car in my garage and i don't want to like i don't
01:00:48.240
want to take it anywhere just i just want to be at home drawing cartoons yeah no i no i understand that
01:00:54.320
there's there's definitely like there's definite petrol heads you're you're definitely not a petrol
01:00:58.560
head um i mean i i i cause all kinds of havoc going through the appalachian mountains when we
01:01:03.840
go on rallies um we just we just tear it up man with the cars and it's just a lot of fun it's you
01:01:09.760
know for me it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on but that's that's just my character
01:01:13.600
right you know for you it's it's probably like drawing and playing the guitar yeah yeah it's drawing
01:01:18.400
and playing the guitar and my favorite thing that i have done in the last few years is um getting
01:01:24.320
out to the rockies and the rock is beautiful yeah going to glacier national park and getting like
01:01:32.000
there was this this place uh called uh jackson uh i think jackson glacier jackson peak or something
01:01:38.960
yeah and there's one that lives there oh yeah oh that's awesome yeah there's a doctor in the area
01:01:43.680
yeah there's a little uh like a house way up top and it's like you know roads that go down on into
01:01:49.200
and it was the middle of july dead in the center of summer and it was just snow all over the place
01:01:55.840
it was like 11 000 feet up yeah it was one of the most gorgeous things so that's like i've only been
01:02:02.080
skiing three times and never snowboarded that's something that i probably will pick up once i settle
01:02:07.200
down somewhere if i settle down somewhere snowy that'll probably be a hobby because what is that going
01:02:12.000
to cost like two thousand dollars for equipment um yeah probably for decent equipment yeah that's
01:02:18.080
no you know staying in the area yeah that would be super how did how did magic internet money change
01:02:24.560
your life when your channel blew up and you started to pull it in um i am extremely good with money
01:02:32.880
and when i say that i don't mean like investment i mean not wasting not spending it yeah so i live
01:02:39.520
pretty cheaply my rent is only 1300 and that includes all my utilities it's a pretty small
01:02:44.960
place it's comfortable it's in a nice quiet neighborhood i have a good view i'm looking at
01:02:48.720
mountains right now um i have you know the cheap car it's paid off it's like i think it was um 27
01:02:57.200
five brand new uh i don't get like crazy expensive food i've started buying nicer steak and that's a big
01:03:04.880
deal like a 20 a pound steak is something brand new for me and um that like those little things moving
01:03:12.800
from cheap to regular is mostly what that's done for me and then everything else is just stacking up in
01:03:19.920
the bank and i'm figuring out where to invest it like am i gonna buy a property or am i gonna put it
01:03:24.000
in bitcoin or i have to figure out what to do with that so i'm not losing it to inflation but so far
01:03:29.840
it's given me the ability to go where i want and do what i want like living in airbnbs over the over
01:03:35.040
the uh winter over the summer the fall whatever from august to november that was definitely one of
01:03:42.720
the best memories that i have being able to go wherever i want wherever i want take out my laptop
01:03:48.960
work from wherever i am ride my bike around tennessee and nevada and check out everything
01:03:54.800
that kind of freedom is is a big deal and um other than that it hasn't materialized yet it's like
01:04:04.480
better food nicer clothes i got a i got a better microphone it didn't work today so it's one of
01:04:10.160
these one of these sure ones um but upgrading my stuff and you got the cloud lifter for it you need
01:04:17.040
a cloud lifter to make that one work oh no yeah no this one is the um it's a uh it's got the xlr and the
01:04:23.360
usb and i haven't done the xlr yet but yeah i do know about the cloud lifter okay um that's for
01:04:31.280
that's for when i get into the advanced stuff the the usb it made it so easy it's so much higher quality
01:04:36.960
um without fussing with it but yeah uh so yeah that's that's like that's really all the money's
01:04:42.480
done for me so far oh oh and also the confidence that i can actually like take a woman on an impressive
01:04:49.360
date i actually got to do that um with two different girls there was the girl who wanted
01:04:54.240
to marry me last year and then there was somebody on my way across the country who i uh i took on
01:05:01.200
like a proper like a proper date for probably the first time in my life and not just like coffee or
01:05:06.960
like beer and nachos which is all i could afford before and i was relying on just my charm and my looks
01:05:13.600
but now it's like oh i can i can get you stuff that you can't get yourself that's that's a fun
01:05:18.400
feeling yeah yeah wait till they figure out how much cash you have and then you'll start hearing
01:05:22.880
things like why are you so cheap why don't you buy a nicer car exactly yep so what's um so what's next
01:05:29.360
for you man like what's on the uh what's on the horizon more videos more more more um i made the
01:05:35.280
video on it i don't know if you know my levels video uh where i talk about like early on i was
01:05:42.080
talking about uh developmental psychology in terms of this is from the yeah i've seen one or two of
01:05:49.200
those yeah um i was talking about development developmental psychology in terms of like where
01:05:55.520
the dating crisis came from and why people are so immature it's basically the short story is once you get
01:06:03.360
up to the sixth level here you start feeling like there shouldn't be any rules and we all should be
01:06:09.840
who we want to be and what that does is it dissolves this level because it's all about rules and then
01:06:15.040
nobody can grow through it and so now we have a whole generation who's all very childish and i was
01:06:22.240
showing a lot of examples of that and people asked questions and ask questions so i made these
01:06:27.680
videos showing how all that works and uh it was it's by far my most popular youtube video and i feel
01:06:36.960
ridiculous that i didn't just like completely switch to that right away but i've got i'm on such a momentum
01:06:44.240
with the dating stuff that i can't stop that either so what's coming up next is i'm going to continue all
01:06:52.160
the dating stuff because i have an infinite amount amount about it to say but i'm also going to do
01:06:56.880
more levels in developmental psychology my next big video that i'm releasing is on psyops uh do you
01:07:04.160
familiar with psyops mm-hmm yeah so i talked pandemic or yeah well yeah we're talking about that we're
01:07:10.480
talking about different examples of uh of how they work i uh one of my fans is an expert in basically
01:07:18.080
brainwashing and he works with the fbi and he reads like declassified documents he's got all the inside
01:07:23.120
info and so he walks me through step by step the process of psyoping people and then i use that i use
01:07:30.240
you know my skills to explain to people how to recognize what's happening to you more like that
01:07:35.920
more videos like that um i'm going to milk this for all it's worth i'm going to i will never run out of
01:07:44.640
content i can definitely have content of the same quality or higher until i die i can do this till
01:07:52.560
i'm 90 if it lasts that long and um i have a lot of irons in the fire so i have this uh product called
01:08:01.680
self max which is an ai life coach it's still kind of in the early stages of development but it's helping
01:08:08.400
a lot of people did you basically sorry did you build it oh no i'm not a coder uh some developers
01:08:14.400
reached out to me and they you know they liked the level stuff and they wanted to see if i had
01:08:19.520
any projects in mind so yeah we we built something that uses ai to ask the user questions and you give
01:08:28.000
it answers and it tells you what level it thinks you're thinking at and we're going to make that
01:08:32.080
more sophisticated we're going to transform that into different ways that you apply it rather than
01:08:38.240
just your answer because you know of course everybody goes and gives their highest possible answer and
01:08:41.760
they go oh i'm level eight i'm level eight and really what that means is that you answered those
01:08:46.000
questions at level eight when you were sitting down and concentrating but how are you living in your
01:08:49.920
real life so we're going to make that more sophisticated we're going to make um we're going
01:08:54.640
to build out the the structure of self max which is this is my map i made a map for basically
01:09:01.920
this is how your mind brings you through your life it all starts with what you want and then how you think
01:09:06.480
about it and then how you look and what you do how your environment responds to you what your
01:09:11.200
situation is as a result of that and then your feedback so this is that's how it happens whether
01:09:16.800
you're conscious of it or not so i made this to make people conscious of it so you can start making
01:09:21.840
your life rather than having it happen to you so the whole service is based on that and this is
01:09:27.600
it's taken off we go we just got a bunch more users and we're going people can subscribe for like
01:09:32.800
10 bucks a month yeah it's not that much yeah yeah it's not that much and it's working out pretty
01:09:37.600
well for for us and it's working out for the developers working out for me and um yeah as it
01:09:42.960
gets better and better it's going to be it it definitely has the potential to become a very
01:09:47.440
powerful tool and if it begins working the way that it works in my mind like if we can get the software
01:09:54.240
to do exactly what i want it to do we could get millions of subscribers for sure it'll be that good
01:10:00.160
so i got a lot of irons in the fire like that i'm going to publish a book of my tweets i know you
01:10:04.320
enjoy my tweets um all that kind of stuff and wherever that takes me uh it's going to be just
01:10:11.840
that and um talking to another girl right now who is a fan of mine see how this one goes maybe i'm in
01:10:19.520
better condition this time maybe it works out better and that's skiing you know i'll you know give
01:10:25.200
you a bit of advice uh a wise man once once said that when when the rabbit chases the hunter you got
01:10:31.440
to ask yourself why and a lot of the times when you get female fans that pursue you and um sort of
01:10:39.200
make advances towards you you've got to be very you have to be extra careful with them yes if i
01:10:43.440
just put it that way i yes i do i do understand the last one was um i mean she's great like i don't
01:10:50.240
have any complaints about she's she's a great girl and it was sad that it didn't work out but for sure
01:10:55.920
um you know according to my my favorite map that i use the most often for sure of all the
01:11:02.480
relationships i had it was the most based on this stuff rather than this it's not like there wasn't
01:11:08.640
any uh attraction but it was now that i have fame and money and stuff it was mostly based on that and i
01:11:15.280
noticed that and and i said well you know i knew that was going to happen and um
01:11:22.480
that's brand new for me so i do have a lot of processing to do on how am i going to relate
01:11:27.280
to the fact that girls will come to me for what i have rather than for the the the article itself
01:11:36.000
i think i think the best way to suss that out is just with the word no and see how they respond to
01:11:40.320
not getting their way with certain things yeah um i mean if you ever want to talk about that kind
01:11:45.280
of shit offline dive a little deeper down the rabbit hole and you want to sort of chop it up
01:11:49.360
i'm happy to do that with you as well yeah you seem like a good dude man i appreciate you um
01:11:53.440
you know hopping on and carving out some time and sharing a little bit of your personal journey
