00:00:03.000 Alright, I'm going to tell you a quick story.
00:00:05.000 So yesterday, me and Tristan were chilling, having coffee, eating watermelon, smoking cigars, BGs.
00:00:11.000 All of a sudden, one of the girls Tristan's seeing calls him up and says, I've got a problem, I need you here now.
00:00:15.000 A guy is attacking my car.
00:00:17.000 So me and Tristan look at each other and go, okay, so we jump in our cars.
00:00:20.000 He jumped in the Aston, I jumped in the Lambo.
00:00:21.000 She sent her location.
00:00:23.000 It's only about a mile and a half away.
00:00:25.000 So we start burning down the road.
00:00:27.000 The reason I'm telling you this story is because actually, one of the few times in my life, I felt sorry for someone.
00:00:31.000 I don't usually feel sorry for people.
00:00:32.000 I'm very much like, you know, The life you live is your own responsibility, and where you end up in life is your own fault.
00:00:39.000 And to a degree, yeah, people are born with shit hands.
00:00:41.000 Obviously, if you're born in Yemen, you know, into like a sheep-herding family, you're never going to be a fucking tech billionaire or whatever.
00:00:48.000 But I'm just saying, in general, in the Western world, I'm not much one for sympathy.
00:00:52.000 But I ended up feeling sorry for this guy.
00:00:53.000 So, long story short, what happened was the girl who called Tristan had cut him up.
00:01:00.000 So it was her fault.
00:01:01.000 She made the traffic violation.
00:01:03.000 And the guy got so pissed off, road rage, got out of his car, and started slamming on the The thing of her on the boot of her car.
00:01:12.000 So, anyway, so when me and Tristan roll up, Aston Lamble obviously everyone stares because of the noise and because of the cars they are.
00:01:18.000 We pull up right next to the car.
00:01:20.000 The dude's still like screaming kind of at her, and then he turns and sees these two cars.
00:01:24.000 He's like, Well, that's a bit weird.
00:01:25.000 Me and T get out and start walking over, and he shits himself and tries to run away.
00:01:30.000 So, Tristan goes over and grabs and goes, What the fuck are you doing?
00:01:32.000 Da da da, roughs him up a bit.
00:01:33.000 Anyway, while he's doing that, I was with Tristan and I realized Tristan had it completely under control.
00:01:37.000 The guy was no match for Tristan.
00:01:38.000 Anyway, Tristan's like 120 kilos.
00:01:41.000 So I was like, Tristan had him up off the ground and everything.
00:01:44.000 So I asked the girl what happened.
00:01:45.000 The girl was like, oh, well, I was driving and I pulled out on him and it was an accident and he went psycho.
00:01:51.000 And I went over to Tristan.
00:01:52.000 I said, okay, just let him go.
00:01:53.000 Tristan goes, let him go.
00:01:54.000 I said, yeah, let him go.
00:01:55.000 So anyway, that's the end of the story.
00:01:56.000 So me and Tristan went for coffee back when the girl left, blah, blah, blah.
00:02:01.000 Back for coffee after we got our little policing job, went back to coffee.
00:02:04.000 And I was sitting next to Tristan.
00:02:05.000 I said, I felt sorry for that guy.
00:02:06.000 He said, why?
00:02:07.000 I said, he was completely in the right.
00:02:10.000 From a traffic perspective, so you have to understand this dude's driving down the road.
00:02:15.000 Some who's 10 out of 10, hotter than he will ever get in his life, pulls out directly in front of him in a Porsche can.
00:02:22.000 My guy has an old Citroën worth about $4,000.
00:02:26.000 This girl's driving, and this is in Romania, this is where the average wage is about 500 euro a month.
00:02:30.000 This girl's driving a 95,000 euro car.
00:02:33.000 Um, so she's in the upper echelons of income, like me and Tristan are.
00:02:37.000 So you're driving down the road, you're 30 something.
00:02:41.000 Your life hasn't gone the way you want it to.
00:02:43.000 You ain't got a wife, and if you do, she's fucking ugly.
00:02:46.000 You're driving a shitty car, and some fucking bitch, like hot, the kind of hot girl who's never spoken to you, never given you the time of day, pulls out directly in front of you in a car you could never afford, ever.
00:03:00.000 Of course, you're gonna be frustrated.
00:03:01.000 Like, I was saying to Tristan, I understand why this guy got pissed off.
00:03:05.000 Obviously, you're gonna be like, fucking, and you know, it could have just been a bad day, and things could be adding up, and eventually, because of traffic, because she couldn't escape, he gets out, starts hitting on her car, saying, You stupid bitch, you pulled out.
00:03:16.000 You broke the rules of the road, da da da.
00:03:17.000 But really, his frustration is not that she pulled out, his frustration is at life.
00:03:21.000 And then to add insult to injury, half a million dollars of the cars pull up.
00:03:25.000 She makes one phone call while you're yelling at her, this pretty girl.
00:03:29.000 And half a million dollars of cars turn up, and me and Tristan get out.
00:03:33.000 And I got 350 kilo of kickboxer coming up to rough you up, even though she's totally wrong.
00:03:39.000 And the reason I felt sorry for him, and I'll say to Tristan, is it just shows that everyone has a place in life.
00:03:45.000 And it's the reality of the world.
00:03:47.000 I'm not Tom Cruise.
00:03:48.000 I'm not famous.
00:03:49.000 Me and Tristan are not famous.
00:03:50.000 We're famous in Romania, tabloid bullshit, but we're not famous in the new real sense.
00:03:54.000 We do have a high income.
00:03:56.000 We are physically large.
00:03:57.000 We are young.
00:04:00.000 We have a lot of assets that go in our favor.
00:04:02.000 But I'd say we're in the top 5 to 10% of men on the planet in terms of our achievements and our abilities, etc., etc.
00:04:08.000 But this poor dude, when Tristan had him all gripped up and his anger had turned from anger into pure, not even fear, it was more just like submission.
00:04:16.000 Like, this pretty bitch with her expensive car has just called the half a million dollar police.
00:04:22.000 And I can't fuck with people on this level.
00:04:24.000 He was just like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:04:26.000 He was just like very, not afraid.
00:04:29.000 He should have been.
00:04:30.000 He was.
00:04:30.000 But he was very, like, just submissive to it.
00:04:34.000 And there was a huge lesson in it.
00:04:35.000 For me, it's even hard for me to articulate.
00:04:37.000 I was just saying to Tristan, it shows that there's different places in life that this woman can go through the world driving wrong, driving like a prick, and as soon as someone loses their temper with her, that's the person who ends up going home feeling disheartened.
00:04:50.000 And I'm telling you, man, that's suicide shit.
00:04:52.000 That's the kind of shit that's just the final nail in the coffin.
00:04:54.000 When you go home, you park your shit car, you go into your shit house, you look around at your shit life, and you think, who the fuck is this girl can just pull out on me anytime she wants and call these two kickboxers and just Lambo and this ass to come and rough me up?
00:05:06.000 I wasn't even in the wrong in the first place.
00:05:07.000 Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at her car, but she shouldn't have pulled out on me.
00:05:10.000 And this is why when people say to me, Tate, you're obsessed with money, I say, no.
00:05:14.000 I'm obsessed with not being in that position.
00:05:17.000 I'm never going to let me live my only one life on this planet and waste my years of consciousness in that position.
00:05:25.000 I don't want to be the guy who's 37, driving a fucking shitty Citroën, who gets pulled out on a girl who's too hot for me, driving a car I can never afford, who can call fucking dudes, psycho kickboxers.
00:05:38.000 With fucking Lambos and Asens to turn up and bust me up.
00:05:41.000 I'm never going to be that guy.
00:05:42.000 I'm never going to accept that submissive position.
00:05:45.000 And that's why I say when I talk about money and achievement and training and all these things and how important they are, because if you don't find those things important, well, then you're just accepting your place lower down.
00:05:54.000 And I don't think anyone should have to live that way.
00:05:55.000 I genuinely, genuinely felt sorry for that dude.
