00:00:03.000 If you've been watching my videos for a while, you'll notice I'm animated when I talk.
00:00:06.000 I move my hands all the time.
00:00:09.000 You can watch any of my take speeches, I move my hands.
00:00:11.000 If you watch me on Twitter or Instagram, I move my hands when I talk.
00:00:14.000 I'm always moving my hands when I talk.
00:00:15.000 And this is a habit I've learned.
00:00:17.000 And I've learned to do this.
00:00:18.000 And the reason I've learned to do this is quite.
00:00:21.000 I didn't think it was that interesting a story, but I told someone once, and they found it was interesting.
00:00:25.000 When I was young, I used to go to chess tournaments with my father.
00:00:27.000 My father was one of the best chess players in the world.
00:00:29.000 And a lot of the chess players were ex KGB.
00:00:32.000 And because they're Russians.
00:00:34.000 And they're ex KGB and they now live in wherever, all over the world, and they're all chess players.
00:00:38.000 So I hung around with a whole bunch of autistic nerds, my father, who was completely crazy and the best man alive, and KGB agents in one room.
00:00:49.000 It was a bit of an interesting scenario.
00:00:51.000 And we were sitting, and I was sitting with my father, who spoke fluent Russian.
00:00:55.000 My father spoke Russian fluently.
00:00:56.000 He learned Russian in the Air Force.
00:00:58.000 He was a linguist for the Air Force.
00:00:59.000 In fact, he was intelligence, he worked for the CIA.
00:01:01.000 Long story.
00:01:02.000 Anyway, my father and about three Russians were sitting around talking.
00:01:07.000 In fluent Russian.
00:01:08.000 And the Russians are very well known for being very stoic.
00:01:11.000 They don't talk very much.
00:01:12.000 They're very hard people, especially the KGB guys, right?
00:01:16.000 But the KGB guy told a story, and he was telling my father saying that Russians in general aren't very animated when they speak.
00:01:25.000 They sit still, they say yes, they say no, yes, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:30.000 They're very, very calm.
00:01:31.000 They don't like to talk too much.
00:01:32.000 However, he was told that many Russians are trying to learn American mannerisms.
00:01:38.000 And they're trying to learn to be more animated with their speech.
00:01:41.000 And that many young people in the KGB, many Russians, were learning to move their hands a lot more as they speak.
00:01:49.000 And obviously, I didn't understand the conversation.
00:01:50.000 My dad told me this afterwards.
00:01:52.000 And I said to my dad, Oh, is that so they can fit in better with Americans?
00:01:54.000 He said, No, it's not so they can fit in.
00:01:56.000 They like the idea of being animated.
00:01:59.000 And this is an advantage, a tactical advantage that I identified.
00:02:02.000 If you're constantly animated, your moving doesn't scare people.
00:02:06.000 So if I'm still and I decide to pull my weapon, You're going to notice.
00:02:11.000 But if I'm always animated all the time, if I'm always moving every time I talk, you're not even going to fucking notice by the time I pull my gun.
00:02:17.000 So they're saying the KGB agents, the younger ones, are learning to be more animated so they can attack you easier and you're less likely to reply or respond.
00:02:25.000 This is really interesting.
00:02:26.000 I was told this at a young age.
00:02:28.000 So I notice now, even now, if I'm in a room full of people and I'm constantly moving my hands, not that I'm a violent man, but especially if I'm in a room full of people I don't know or if I'm in a bad situation, and if you watch these channels, you know I've been in a lot of bad situations, I always speak like this.
00:02:41.000 And I speak like this because I'm always a step closer to smashing someone in the face than they anticipate.
00:02:46.000 When they first, you'll notice, because humans identify these things.
00:02:49.000 When I'm first in a room with two other men and I'm moving my hands, at first they're a bit like, it's uneasy when a man's moving his hands.
00:02:56.000 It's unusual.
00:02:57.000 And they don't like it.
00:02:58.000 But after three or four minutes, they're used to it.
00:03:00.000 Ah, that's just how this crazy American talks.
00:03:02.000 That's just how the American talks.
00:03:03.000 He just likes to move his hands around.
00:03:05.000 But now it's something I've learned because being animated makes you more capable of assassination.
00:03:11.000 And you never know.
00:03:11.000 We live in a crazy world.
00:03:12.000 Why not?
00:03:13.000 I like to be expressive.
00:03:14.000 But once I learned that the KGB are deliberately teaching their agents to be more animated in their speech so they're more capable of drawing a weapon or attacking somebody, this stuck in my head and I decided, you know what, that's how I'm going to speak in my life.
00:03:24.000 And there's a few times in my life stories I cannot tell on YouTube where being animated got me the upper hand.
00:03:29.000 It got me the upper hand and it saved my life for real.
00:03:32.000 So when people ask me, Andrew, why do you always move your hand so much?
00:03:34.000 Why are you so animated when you speak?
00:03:35.000 It's a learned habit.
00:03:36.000 And it's a learned habit because I like the idea of tactical surprise.
00:03:42.000 And this is why I'm always moving my hands.
