00:01:07.380
let's put on that bone I want to play this clip um because he just posted it he posted the real
00:01:12.920

00:01:16.860

00:01:23.380

00:01:32.860
I'm a fighter are you is he an influencer I guess I guess so yeah well keep it going man
00:01:39.200
all right keep telling the people can you give some some words of wisdom I liked your podcast with
00:01:43.700
the milk boys they to see him get pressed like that for the first time was funny majority of
00:01:47.840
influencers are yeah work hard be a decent man stay up on instagram stay up tiktok you have a better
0.89
00:01:55.320
life thanks Sean what he said a majority what was it okay six out of ten uh cunts he said majority of
0.95
00:02:02.740
influencers are cunts uh so what are your thoughts on that so basically this is like the the traditional
0.99
00:02:09.200
guy thing like influencers are all frauds they're all fake we take the heavens off yeah they're all
1.00
00:02:14.300
pieces of shit but like the first when you asked me that question and I knew he was going to do this
1.00
00:02:19.340
because I've seen him talk to the milk boys it is like yeah um fighting is better than you know like
0.99
00:02:24.720
it's you're not a real man all this stuff what is the definition of an influencer the definition
00:02:30.580
literally of influencer is somebody who influences yes by definition Sean Strickland is an influencer
00:02:37.360
not only just by the definition but also like you make content if you weren't an influencer you would
00:02:42.680
not be posting this real you would look at all this content here yeah two I've seen I've I became a fan
00:02:48.880
watching your stuff doing podcasts and doing influencer type things like you know doing
00:02:53.140
interviews going on Joe Rogan doing a lot of the same talking to women who are clearly influencers
00:02:58.260
doing the same thing that I do yeah so how much do you have to do to be considered an influencer
00:03:04.400
well his thing is this and I know where he's coming from because uh you know Andrew's alluded
00:03:11.560
to this etc it's because he has an issue with young guys that don't have any real life experience that
00:03:18.200
like you like you have the same type of yeah like I mean yeah because I came from the professional
00:03:21.880
world and then I did this after the fact right so a lot of guys have disdain for the young guys that
00:03:26.900
make it on the internet and didn't have like a job or some type of career field beforehand so they
0.95
00:03:33.080
have disdain for that right and for me you know at first I was like man it's some bullshit but then
0.62
00:03:38.080
I kind of just grew to like accept it like this is just what it is in this world like there's a lot
0.80
00:03:42.120
of guys that are young that made it young and it is what it is and that's that's the culture uh you
00:03:47.080
know in this line of work it is what it is so but yeah I mean he looks at it like I don't respect a
00:03:53.440
lot of these guys I mean that Nelk interview was crazy how he was like disrespecting them like yeah
00:03:56.740
no the same thing happened I thought it'd be funny but like if you read the caption uh that he posted
00:04:00.520
I'm surprised he even posted it but he said if he's gonna he said um what advice would you give
00:04:08.260
at sneko um I got sent this with a little backstory on this man one don't let dudes tee off on your
00:04:15.000
girl two Andrew Tate is a con artist three act like a man yeah and and honestly uh that's why I
00:04:23.440
didn't really go up well I didn't I didn't go up to him when I uh there because I didn't I don't like
00:04:27.580
his comments about Andrew it's like it's a little weird that you're gonna attack another man like
00:04:30.860
that and it's like especially like Andrew all he does is advocate for traditional values yeah like
00:04:34.960
you can go like I don't get it like you're gonna say oh he's a con artist blah blah blah but
00:04:39.620
he's created more impact and saved more guys than you have you know what I mean like he's like he's
00:04:44.780
helped more guys get in the gym and train and become better versions of themselves than you have
00:04:48.280
like instead of hating on that you should be uplifting that like that's great and here's the thing he's a
00:04:52.220
fighter just like you like you know I mean like it would have been great for them to like do a
00:04:56.860
collab or something like that and talk to the to the youth but instead he wants to go ahead and
00:05:00.160
say this divisive stuff it's like no man like for what bro like why are you hating on people
00:05:04.820
I mean a lot of people come and a lot of men have this like a superiority complex yeah and have a big
00:05:11.940
ego a lot of it's earned but I don't understand the point of doing that to people that you probably
00:05:17.040
agree with on so many issues yeah I mean even the way he spoke to you was wow bro like if Sean
0.99
00:05:20.940
are you like Sean said who the fuck are you if you're gonna talk I mean Sean you're saying act
0.98
00:05:24.540
like a man I came up to you respectfully I said hey I'm a fan of what you do yeah he stands up who
0.99
00:05:29.540
the fuck are you if you're gonna say is that any way for two men to talk to each other when that's
0.93
00:05:33.880
crazy I haven't showed any level of disrespect I came in just hey man congrats on the win just
1.00
00:05:39.680
saying nice things man because I'm filming it he has an idea about influencers I understand that he
00:05:45.820
doesn't respect people who do this but the truth is everybody has social media I think if you had
00:05:50.540
everybody without the camera on though and he said hey are you cool if I you know introduce
00:05:54.720
the camera on and then and yeah that's why he did that probably yeah because he's like okay if this
00:05:58.580
dude's gonna get a clip out of me I'm gonna make him look crazy that's how I think he did it that
00:06:01.980
why he probably did that now is it the right way to go about it I don't think so I don't agree with
00:06:06.900
it but he probably did that because he's like oh my god another influencer coming yeah but I mean
00:06:12.180
power slapping every there's cameras everywhere everybody here is filming this is an influencer it's a
00:06:16.660
power slap yeah but he doesn't respect he doesn't he doesn't respect me he doesn't respect influencers
00:06:21.040
and he doesn't respect the young guys that are influencers he also doesn't respect Andrew Tate
00:06:24.380
but I'm curious Sean I'm curious to you what is your idea of a real man you're saying act like a man
00:06:31.440
all I promote and I'm surprised that immediately what you said like you're making jokes about me
00:06:35.820
calling me a cuck what I talk about every single day is probably very similar to what you talk about
0.92
00:06:40.600
it's end every stream saying don't watch porn I tell people I say spam g if you went to the gym today
0.98
00:06:45.080
I promote going to the gym I've been training very rigorously boxing for the past couple months a
00:06:50.980
lot of this year obviously I'm newer to it but if you actually looked at what I talk about and what
00:06:54.980
I promote a lot of it really aligns with you so I'm curious Sean you call yourself you're making fun
00:07:01.560
of me saying that I'm an influencer you clearly influence a lot of people if you look at the
00:07:05.140
comments and this is why you posted it to say he's doing podcasts W Sean W Sean you're doing this for
00:07:10.100
the same allure that everybody else is doing it because you want to have your voice heard and you want
00:07:13.220
to have an impact and because you're utilizing social media to have your voice being heard so
00:07:16.560
I'm curious you made fun of Nelk you made fun of me what is your idea of a real man yeah I mean
0.98
00:07:22.300
there's good ways to go about it obviously he's doing it the way where I'm just going to insult
0.96
00:07:25.760
people and talk shit which yeah I mean that's one way to get your name out there but it's not
0.91
00:07:29.320
necessary like bro you're already a popular MMA fighter you don't need to disrespect people
0.99
00:07:33.440
all right why do you did you see what he said about calling Andrew Tate a con artist
00:07:38.460
uh yeah I saw some of it on um on uh what's it called on the Nelk interview like dude just like
0.95
00:07:44.320
just just talking hella shit man and it's like it's not necessary it's like if you guys like work
0.82
00:07:50.180
together you guys would probably create a huge impact and be able to get uh even more men in
0.99
00:07:54.560
the gym even more guys added depression but you see a lot of people don't think the way you think
00:07:58.760
this time like you actually care about that we talk a lot about men's mental health you actually care
00:08:04.380
about these people which most of these people get into this they want to like make a name for
00:08:08.400
themselves they want to like get their clout they want to like be seen as a top dog you know w
00:08:12.240
they're getting like common sean w you genuinely care about changing men's lives you don't have to
00:08:19.100
put people down most people don't think that way to get yourself up and here's other thing too i want
00:08:22.600
to and i want to make this very clear i've never insulted someone first they always start with me
0.98
00:08:28.660
first every youtuber that i've you guys have ever seen me talk shit about whether it's fucking
0.99
00:08:33.140
agent double o's double o's fat ass loser ass uh from playback him and low or obland preacher
0.99
00:08:39.440
whatever these dudes always made videos talking shit about me first i've never talked shit about
0.99
00:08:43.680
these guys first so you know i'll respond you'd be respectful to people that you would consider
0.98
00:08:48.700
simps like um nick is dating the porn star and yeah people that like people that are blue pill i had
00:08:54.080
a serious talk with him on the side i was like bro like this is not like like you could have easily
0.93
00:08:58.020
use that moment to like call him a cuck say he's a simp and say like and but he didn't i didn't you
0.99
00:09:03.440
actually try to like get through to them and say like this is how we can i told him more shit off
0.99
00:09:06.960
camera because i was like like i was like i'm not gonna fucking make this guy look like shit in front
0.97
00:09:12.600
of everybody for some views like he's making a big mistake right now right he's a young guy this
0.97
00:09:17.500
girl's but there's no there's no there's no benefit it's not beneficial to think that way
00:09:21.660
if you're gonna if you're gonna prioritize the way social media works it would be better for you and
00:09:26.820
maybe even for him with how much of the world is spent online to make fun of him and get a clip
00:09:32.100
he goes viral you go viral he does a response you do a response you have beef and then he figures it
00:09:37.760
out yeah you trying to speak to him man to man social media people will not even take it seriously
00:09:42.920
just the same thing that happened with neon because if your life is being monetized on camera
00:09:48.660
you're only going to really be thinking about what can i do to continue monetizing my life on camera
00:09:53.980
yeah right so even doing the right thing is not it's not yeah beneficial anymore it's not the most
00:10:00.060
profitable it's actually more profitable to do the wrong thing long term funny funny thing so before
00:10:04.420
we go live with the girls you've been here and you've seen it i give the girls a set of instructions
0.98
00:10:07.720
i literally tell them everything is recorded everything is live don't say anything stupid
0.99
00:10:12.680
the only person that can make themselves look stupid is you i shouldn't be telling them that
0.99
00:10:16.180
i shouldn't be warning them that hey we're gonna have tough conversations you might get triggered
0.99
00:10:19.340
please take a deep breath before you respond i give them all these warnings um nick before the
00:10:24.380
show it's not my best interest to tell them the truth and be like hey man like this girl's not
00:10:27.540
the one blah blah and have a talk with him and then be super respectful we go on air but like
00:10:31.880
i don't think it's worth it to really make people look like shit on air for clips i warn all the
00:10:37.140
girls before the show i you know if i have a guy on and we have a disagreement i haven't talked about
0.99
00:10:41.460
it before like you know but to me i you know obviously you get punished for doing shit like
0.85
00:10:46.140
that sometimes but hey man integrity over everything for real but integrity is going away
00:10:51.220
more and more as things social media for sure and it's changing fast i notice it a lot i'm glad that
00:10:55.820
fousey's out but i really had this awakening um when fousey had his last stream and he went to jail
00:11:01.660
i noticed in that moment that things were going to switch yeah that everybody was watching this
00:11:07.300
everybody's aware of this and now everything is they're preying on his downfall yeah and especially
00:11:11.800
with the way things are clipped things are almost starting to become unreal and i noticed it since
00:11:17.780
that day way more think about how many more people got into irl streaming how many more people sweat
00:11:21.980
and i told you immediately this this is going to be the shift and when it's all irl like how do you
00:11:26.500
keep it active for that long it needs to be you have to keep one one upping you have to keep one
00:11:31.860
right which you know obviously uh you know uh for fousey what he would have been going for like 90
00:11:37.000
days or something crazy like that so you just and it plays it plays it wears on your mental health
00:11:42.240
it wears on your sanity it wears on because you're doing the next thing to get the views and it's like
0.53
00:11:46.660
god damn you know what i mean so and then people are praying for your downfall the whole time people
0.89
00:11:50.200
are swatting him people are doing all this other shit so it's like it you know just unfortunate yeah
0.99
00:11:54.620
well i mean happens same thing happens here and the thing too when he had that and i here's the thing i
00:11:59.060
don't know if i've talked about this um the night that he got arrested he actually invited me to come
00:12:03.440
hang out with him yeah and i blame i'm gonna put a little bit of onus on myself because if i had
00:12:08.100
went there you could have stopped it i probably i think i would have probably been able to stop i
00:12:11.300
try to people say that like academics are saying that i was taking advantage of the situation i was
00:12:14.940
calling and was telling him to get some rest i was telling him just uh to stop streaming the day
00:12:19.160
before i decided not to go on because i didn't want to be involved like the island but i just don't want
00:12:23.100
to be involved in that mess or some things i won't do but people don't look at that people yeah
00:12:26.780
because foozy is an actual good person like you know people say like he is i can tell he actually
00:12:31.720
is a good person he's not a bad guy he has a very uh pure heart it's just that you know he's been
00:12:36.060
people have taken advantage of him and kind of used him to push their own agenda to put themselves in
00:12:41.380
positions through his fame and his uh influence so um and him being a trusting person being a pure
00:12:46.980
person he trusts them and then it doesn't end up leading to the right situation but that night i had i
00:12:53.080
had filmed and i was like super tired i was like hey man i'm really tired bro i'm dying but i can
00:12:57.100
we can link up tomorrow and then next thing i know i wake up and they said oh he got arrested blah blah
00:13:01.720
blah and i was like oh my fucking god man you know i genuinely think if i had went i probably could have
0.95
00:13:07.560
been i i could i think i could have probably done something where the police weren't called word but
0.97
00:13:11.260
yeah yeah i don't want to say saved it but i think i could have potentially stopped the police being
00:13:16.020
called and that whole situation happening or defuse the situation once the police arrived you know
00:13:20.640
what i mean so he would have freaked out on you trust me he was firing everybody at that time
00:13:24.380
it would have been really difficult that's that's fine i mean yeah i could have tried at least
