In this episode of Mindset squared, the brother and sister duo of the "Tate Brothers" Andrew and Tristan Tate and their friend Mike Bolin join us to talk about their travels around the world and what it's like to be an adult in the adult entertainment industry in Romania. They also talk about why they like living in Romania and why they think it's better than living in the United States and how they feel about the freedom they have in Romania compared to the rest of the world. They also discuss their views on the idea of freedom and why it's important to live in a country where you can be your truest self and be your most authentic self.

00:02:30.000Mike's already a little pissed off because there was some traffic coming.
00:02:35.000That's not what pisses me off, but I'm just, you think, um, the people just live like a very boring conventional life and then they don't know anything about your life, but then they're almost like questioning like your life, where the right way to ask the question is, Why would I want to live just some boring life?
00:03:12.000You know what's the most crazy thing for me is this American idea of one, that the whole world's dangerous and parts are, but parts are much safer than here.
00:04:19.000If you have a group of people, you only move as fast as the slowest person.
00:04:21.000And in some societies where you have all these slow people, you have to make all these super stringent laws to just try and keep society ticking over.
00:04:28.000So that's a perfect example of the open alcohol container.
00:04:31.000That's a law made to make sure that even idiots can't make a mistake.
00:04:35.000Like, you have to really cater for the idiots.
00:04:37.000Whereas in some societies where people are relatively normal, and I don't even think it's an IQ thing, I think it's more of a cultural thing, where people are more culturally astute and more relatively normal, you don't need such stringent laws and things change.
00:04:50.000You have far more laws here than you do there, and it's still a safer society for just the fact that it's a Christian society and people still respect their parents and Which is a normal place.
00:04:59.000So here I see all these very stringent laws.
00:05:01.000Another quick example on the way over here, the Uber driver said he got caught doing 165 miles an hour, which is fast.
00:05:06.000And he did three months in jail and they crushed his car.
00:05:09.000I got caught doing 165 miles an hour two weeks ago.
00:05:11.000And I said, sorry, I gave him 50 bucks.
00:05:43.000Almost everywhere I've been, I haven't gone to Colombia and other parts, but almost everywhere I've been, it's actually safer than the US.
00:05:51.000Other than you take one kind of bad area, but in America, everybody thinks every other country is like a hellhole or something.
00:05:57.000Well, this is the thing, because in a lot of these countries, Thailand, Vietnam, even Romania, all of Eastern Europe, the crime is organized.
00:06:03.000So Thailand has mafia, but if you don't mess with the mafia, they're never going to mess with you.
00:06:06.000So like, I'd much rather live in a society with an organized crime, with organized crime, meaning that if I run my mouth, I may get in trouble, but there's never going to be a violent random act.
00:06:14.000act of violence. You're never going to be walking down the street and randomly someone, you know, tries to randomly attack you or all these, this is the, this is kind of like the unique thing about crime in the West. A lot of it's random. It's bad, wrong place, wrong time. Whereas if something bad happens to you in Ukraine, you're probably running your mouth to some dude you shouldn't be running your mouth to. You're very rarely going to go to a cash point and someone just roll up with an AK. It's just not going to happen. So it's interesting.
00:06:36.000It's almost like people say that New York City in the 1940s or 50s in certain areas was run by the Italian mafia, but they kept the crime away from those areas.
00:06:49.000Well, we in Romania, I mean, we've been there a long time now.
00:06:52.000know some very high level guys and the high level guys, the mafia guys.
00:06:55.000So it's like almost like they keep it safer than the police can. They go, no, no drugs don't come to my town. Yeah. We have, my kids are there.
00:07:02.000So in Bucharest, you don't have a drug culture.
00:07:05.000Super not nothing like the West, nothing like the West. I mean, if you were to really look for it, you might be able to find some shit weed or something, but there's definitely no heroin.
00:07:13.000There's no meth. If there's Coke, you're getting scammed because it's been cut. It's just talcum powder. Like there's no, I mean, if you're going to bother transporting drugs from Columbia to Europe, you're going to stop in London and sell it.
00:07:23.000You're not going to take the further risk of taking it all the way to the very edge of the EU where hardly anyone does it.
00:07:31.000So how does that affect doing business there?
00:07:34.000Let's jump out of the illicit activities, but doing a normal course of business where you're going to open up whatever, some kind of restaurant or something.
00:07:45.000But it's a corruption that everyone can participate in.
00:07:48.000I would much rather live in a country that's corrupt, where I get stopped for speeding and I give them a little bit of money, than a country that's corrupt like America, which says it isn't corrupt, and you have to be a billionaire and have a private jet and go to islands to get away with it, you know?
00:07:59.000Like, if you're going to be corrupt, which every nation on earth is, then let everyone play the game!
00:08:04.000So if you want to open a bar, you need an alcohol license.
00:08:07.000I mean, if you give the guy a tip or a bribe, you'll get the alcohol license same day, if you don't, it'll take six months.
00:08:12.000That's a good point, though, and that's a good point about corruption that most people in America don't really understand.
00:08:18.000They think it's corrupt that you can bribe a street cop, but I think that's better than you have to know, like, the judge and be able to call a judge.
00:08:25.000Like, the corruption is completely inaccessible.
00:08:28.000It's just the average, ordinary person, and we have way more corruption in America than in the rest of the world.
00:08:34.000I mean, not to be anti-Western or anything, but it's the Western countries that are getting caught with all this pedophile stuff and like the really bad stuff.
00:08:41.000It's no Eastern European politician that's running around doing all this really bad stuff, you know?
00:08:45.000Well, and you have the bad actors, oddly enough, dying in a federal prison.
00:08:49.000Yeah, well, yeah, strange how that happens.
00:08:51.000Mike knows a thing or two about that, though.
00:08:56.000I think Mike knows everything about that.
00:08:58.000More than I wish but yeah and it also too you would be and that's where the culture is different too is.
00:09:06.000So in the West, one of the weird things about the West as you watch House of Cards, and I thought this too when I got kind of heavily involved in the political world, is one of the great mysteries is like people don't get really murdered, Epstein being an exception, in the West.
00:09:19.000But if you were a pedo or something, the local politicians would just be taken out by local elements because the Christians and organized crime would just say, okay, we can't have pedos.
00:09:30.000Well yeah, I mean, this is a long story which I'm going to keep short for the point of the broadcast, but there's a monastery near Bucharest I used to visit, because it was on a route, a really nice driving road, and I used to stop there.
00:09:39.000And I used to go there all the time, and I had a Lamborghini, so they were very curious.
00:09:42.000Anyway, I ended up speaking to the head priest.
00:09:45.000So I'm talking to the head priest, I was talking to him for a while, and then he was talking about leasing me some land, some church land, to build something, blah blah.
00:09:51.000So I brought my business partner there.
00:09:52.000And at the end of this meeting, my business partner said, the church still run countries like Romania, because 98% of people identify as Christian.
00:10:12.000So they, they still have huge influence there, you know?
00:10:14.000So, um, the only way you're going to get the endorsement of the church, I mean, of course there's some corruption involved, but a lot of it is about good Christian man, all these kinds of things you can't do.
00:10:22.000You can't run around and be an asshole and, and get out foreign politics over there.
00:10:25.000So a lot of people say, Oh yeah, You know, the politicians there are hard, or they're mean, or they're far-right.
00:10:30.000Well, they're Christian, they believe in Christianity, and if you truly believe in Christianity, you're going to be a right-wing politician.
00:10:34.000How else are you going to be anything else?
00:10:37.000Yeah, the Polish, one of the high-level Polish MPs got into it with Major Hitzel.
00:11:06.000So Romania is still safe, but they're, they're working their way East.
00:11:11.000So they're trying to really take, you know, make Hungary sort of, you know, something different and they're working on Poland and it'll be interesting to see when they start to try to apply that pressure to Romania.
00:11:20.000Yeah, and the Romanians, if you ask a Romanian person how it is there, they said, when they start messing with our religion and they start messing with our money, that's when we throw a revolution.
00:11:28.000And that's what the Romanians typically will do.
00:11:30.000Now, I was driving down a very famous street in Romania and they have flags everywhere.
00:11:34.000The Romanian flag is everywhere in that country.
00:11:36.000And I was driving with a Romanian friend of mine, a business partner.
00:11:39.000And I said to him, you know in England they take these flags down because if I call and say, well I'm Indian and England under this flag committed crimes in India and I find this flag offensive, they actually seriously consider it and then they do take the flags down in some cases.
00:11:52.000I said, what would happen if I were to call them and say, well I'm Turkish and we had a war with Romania and this flag offends me in Bucharest, can you take it down?
00:11:57.000They said, don't even do that as a joke because they'll find a way of making you leave the country.
00:12:11.000As soon as you have a society which half hates itself or doesn't have anything to unify itself under, whether it be a religion or a flag or anything else, you end up with what we have in the West, which is just a free-for-all.
00:12:20.000How long have the brothers Tate been in Rome?
00:12:35.000If you go there and you work a normal job, you're broke.
00:12:37.000But if you have some money and you're, you know, you're out there and you're doing your thing, it's a really, really pleasant place to live and you're never going to have any trouble.
00:12:55.000So, um, yeah, so my, my very simple business philosophy is that, um, I don't hire people based on openings I have.
00:13:04.000I hire people based on who they are and if I like them and then I find an opening for them.
00:13:08.000So there's a few guys who I really believed in and I believed in their work ethic and I believed in their ambition and I thought, you know what?
00:13:13.000I'll hire them and then I'll find something for them to do living with us now.
00:13:17.000And I'm excellent at finding work to do.
00:13:18.000How long are they going to last though?
00:13:27.000But yeah, I think they'll do all right.
00:13:30.000I think they'll be around for a while, hopefully.
00:13:32.000I mean, they seem to like the place and they're making enough money.
00:13:34.000Yeah, one thing I found with the quote-unquote digital nomads is a lot of them are just dysfunctional people and they just can't get any job.
00:13:41.000So then they're like, oh, I'll just go work on the internet, not realizing that it's actually harder to do because you have to be an entrepreneur.
00:13:51.000Like, I lived in Chiang Mai for a little bit and all over, and it would always be funny.
00:13:55.000I would see these people selling these courses on how to be a digital nomad, how much money they're making, but like, I knew all of them and they were all like broke.
00:14:57.000So it's kind of, it's kind of cool from that perspective, you know, like just, uh, kind of being so far off radar, it gives me some, it gives me some bravery.
00:15:06.000You know, if I was exactly the same way I am living in America, I'd always be thinking at night, maybe some idiot is going to roll up.
00:15:12.000He knows I've got some nice cars, rolls up with whatever, you don't know, you know?
00:15:15.000Or even a creepy stalker, like people like Logan Paul and those guys, fans or whatever, they've just found them camping out in the yard outside.
00:15:23.000So you could just get straight up creepy people who don't maybe want to kill you necessarily for what you have, but they're just creepy kind of incels or something like that.
00:15:32.000You know what, I would love to, if I ever become king of the world, which maybe might happen, I need to instruct the best scientists in the world and I'd love to do some kind of study on like culture and on people and work out why some countries are full of weirdos and some countries just aren't.
00:15:47.000And I mean this genuinely, like the idea of a stalker coming outside your house and wanting to be you, that is so American.
00:15:54.000That's never going to happen in Eastern Europe.
00:15:55.000People are too busy, they have to pay the bills, they're busy.
00:16:01.000One of the examples I can give on this is if you ever do see a homeless person in Romania, every country has homeless people.
00:16:07.000Bucharest has far less than Los Angeles, I do have to say.
00:16:10.000He's an old friendly guy, he's drinking, he says, hey my friend, I need some money for some more beer.
00:16:13.000I'll give him money, he'll say, oh thanks, he might sing a song and walk down the road.
00:16:16.000He's the friendly 1960s style bum that you'll imagine from New York, you know?
00:16:20.000I was in Los Angeles about a year ago, and a homeless person walked into a Taco Bell restaurant and started harassing the staff.
00:16:27.000I kid you not, it was a gentleman, my size, about six foot four, 220 pound black man, wearing lingerie, stockings, and high heels with razor sharp fingernails, and I thought, That's terrible.
00:16:48.000Where, like, you notice this in Vietnam, too, is the homeless people are quite respectful.
00:16:54.000Highly, the homeless people are quite respectful.
00:16:56.000And then in America, tolerance went too far to where, oh, we have to feel bad for these homeless people, and then bad actors take advantage of it.
00:17:03.000Because begging has always existed, and even in the Bible and other texts, begging was considered an honorable profession.
00:17:13.000There was a guy in Vietnam we would drive by every day, actually, near the house, and he had no arms, and he just had feet, and he would sell lottery tickets by the side of the road.
00:17:21.000You're just like, what else is he going to do?
00:18:12.000And I was like, why? And he goes, the dictator drove through and he just said he wanted to look better and he just pointed and it got done next day. And I was like, okay, well, obviously under dictatorship, things get done quickly. But the problem with dictatorship is that obviously, if you're an enemy of the state, you get in trouble. And then I was sitting there thinking, looking at England and some of the things that have happened with Tommy Robinson and stuff.
00:18:29.000And I was thinking, if you're an enemy of the state in the West, you're in trouble anyway.
00:18:36.000Are we really protected by this democracy and law and all this garbage?
00:18:40.000No, like Julian Assange is in some, um, even in the UK, he actually has done his time because they go, Oh, we're not holding him for extraditing.
00:18:48.000We're holding him for this sexual thing or whatever.
00:18:57.000And you can't even bribe somebody to get him out.
00:18:59.000So in many ways it's worse because if you're the enemy of the state here, Roger Stone's on trial.
00:19:05.000They'll come after you with the full weight of the law.
00:19:08.000destroy you just the same. So they're like, oh yeah, because the dispeller Russian girl, she was like, oh yeah, but if you upset the president, I was like, look, the West is really not any better. And at least here you can have someone drive through the neighborhood and clean it up in 10 minutes. Give me a dictatorial drive through LA and say, you know, that's enough. This, this, this, this, here's a list. I want it done by Monday.
00:19:24.000Yeah. Like, you know, like let's just get stuff done.
00:19:26.000Because you're no safer here than you are there anyway.
00:19:28.000You upset the government, you're in trouble, so.
00:19:30.000I have seen tent cities in two places.
00:19:33.000Lagos, Nigeria, and Los Angeles, California.
00:19:36.000I was explaining to a native of California yesterday, a girl I ran into, I was explaining to her how weird it is to see a tent city.
00:19:43.000She's like, oh, what do your homeless people live in?
00:20:39.000I mean, anyone who's in the right psychological state of mind could find a job and find a Airbnb bed for five bucks a night and work something out.
00:20:47.000The fact that they end up there, it means that they have some kind of psychological issue.
00:20:50.000And people say, Oh, you must feel sorry for them.
00:20:52.000Maybe, but it's a tough world and we all have to deal with our own problems.
00:20:55.000And if you're going to just shrug all your problems aside and expect society to save you, I don't really feel too sorry for you.
00:21:01.000I mean, one of the most poignant moments when I was much younger was, I was just walking down the street in San Francisco.
00:21:07.000This is before the drugs got really bad, 12 years ago, maybe 13 years ago.
00:21:11.000And a guy who just, you know, looked like a respectable guy, just walking in front of me, all of a sudden he makes a beeline and almost bumps into me.
00:21:38.000And he realized, yeah, he just went from a normal, respectable guy, druggy, and he was good looking, fit, you know, you name it.
00:21:43.000And sits down, that's his first day of begging, and now he's digging through the trash.
00:21:48.000Isn't this all just a breakdown of like, Of like family.
00:21:52.000Like I, cause when I speak to Romanian people and I explain like in, in, in England now that a big problem with, with old people and pensions and they have nowhere to put them and old people home and stuff.
00:22:00.000And I sit and I think, well, England's putting billions and billions into this.
00:22:03.000These poor Eastern European countries put zero into this stuff because, well, that's your mother.
00:22:30.000So if you're homeless or you're down on your luck or whatever the issue is, you've got two options.
00:22:35.000It's either church that takes you in and helps you.
00:22:38.000If you're a member of the church, or its family. That's it. And it's crazy how here we talk about we need more social programs, more social programs, and you're putting in billions and billions of dollars that exceed the entire GDPs of these countries. And they have a fraction of the issues purely because people just go to their family and they say, look, I'm down on my luck.
00:22:54.000I need to stay with you. And the family is like, yeah, okay, cool. And everyone just gets along and there's no big argument, no big fight.
00:22:59.000Just, you know, you have to sleep on the couch. Okay.
00:23:46.000I was sitting there with my girlfriend at the time and girlfriend was like, oh, it's so sad.
00:23:50.000Look how upset she was because Serena or whichever one Venus was crying, crying her eyes out.
00:23:54.000And I was like, why is her sister still living in Compton?
00:23:57.000Like you're going to be so stingy with your money.
00:23:59.000You're going to make all that money and you're not going to bail your entire family, your entire, every single one who's half related to you out of the worst neighborhood in the world.
00:24:07.000Then you're going to go on TV and cry your eyes out because you saved $150,000 from your 200 million on buying her a half nice house.
00:24:21.000And then, likewise, too, though, is the reason you don't have a lot of these problems in Eastern Europe is because if you want to be a druggie, they're just not going to accept it.
00:24:33.000But it's culturally, and this is what people don't really understand, I think, living in a kind of a free-for-all that we live in now is, what do you mean I just can't do it?
00:24:52.000And the culture and the language very much backs this up.
00:24:55.000When I read American people talk about the problems of addiction, and it is a big problem, it's a serious problem, which needs a serious solution.
00:25:05.000These people have a disease and that's why they're here.
00:25:08.000And full disclosure, by the way, on the point we made earlier, me and Andrew aren't some rich snobs looking down on people.
00:25:13.000We used to live in a homeless shelter in England for two years.
00:25:15.000Our whole family lived in a homeless shelter.
00:25:17.000We come from as poor as you can get living in the Western world.
00:25:20.000But yeah, even the language that they talk, whereas in Eastern Europe, I have Polish friends, Slovak friends, I do a lot of business over there.
00:25:40.000No, no, it blows me away because I read a lot of these San Francisco tweets where these people, it's gotten so bad now that they'll just break into your house, break into your car.
00:26:07.000Yeah, you're not even thinking, oh, it's a shame that they feel the need to break- Because I've seen the kind of people who do it that are street gangs of teenagers.
00:26:17.000And they're not trying to meet some kind of deep financial need.
00:26:20.000And isn't that break isn't that the breakdown of society on the most fundamental level?
00:26:23.000Like I literally the breakdown on the most fundamental level where these kind of things are happening and people are going to try and pretend they feel sorry for them.
00:26:30.000Well, yeah, the one thing the government should do if you're going to have a government is you should be able to just walk around a city and be unmolested.
00:26:41.000To me, you should just take that for granted, but you go to San Francisco, you better watch your back during the daytime.
00:26:47.000There was, Noe Valley's actually quite rich area, median household price, $1.5 million.
00:26:52.000Mother was walking with her kids, and a guy just came over and just smashed her over the head, dude.
00:26:57.000And Noe Valley, and that isn't the kind of thing that happens there, but the flip side to that is, I don't feel sorry for the people of San Francisco, because this is the world that they're creating.
00:27:08.000But then meanwhile, they're going to listen to this podcast and look for hate speech on the podcast while they're getting bricked in the head by druggy degenerates.
00:27:34.000And everyone's dying and they're just sitting there going, oh, well, you know, maybe if we wait long enough, like what's going to happen?
00:27:39.000I'm a man who's always believed, and I think every man understands this, action over inaction.
00:27:44.000And I think it was General Patton who said, a good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.
00:27:49.000You gotta do something, and you gotta do something fast.
00:27:50.000You just sitting around talking about it and hoping for things to get better has never- I don't know about you gentlemen, but every time I ran out of money in my bank and I thought I'm gonna sit around and hope for something to come, it never really worked out.
00:28:02.000Which is a way why crisis- because we can segue a little bit into what you guys do, because I know you guys, you know, we're having a sociopolitical conversation, which is good, And I like to talk about that stuff too, but then I found that that attracted a class of people, and by class I don't mean socioeconomic, because many of them were quite wealthy, though who they only want to talk about problems, I think, as a way to not deal with their own lives.
00:28:34.000What are you doing about your own life?
00:28:35.000And I know that you do a lot of sort of, I don't know if mentorship is the right word, but you are in a certain space trying to help people live better lives.
00:29:07.000The first thing you should be focused on is, if you're really truly concerned about these problems, is at least have enough money in the bank or enough assets or whatever it takes for you to say, you know what?
00:29:28.000If you're looking at a politician, good or bad, to either improve your life or you think a politician is going to ruin your life, you've got the wrong mindset towards life in the first place.
00:29:35.000I mean, I'm a Trump fan, but has my life got any better under Trump?
00:29:57.000I think a piece here that's interesting that maybe we're skipping over because, you know, there's a lot of people out there that don't necessarily know who you guys are, is that both Tristan and Andrew actually have a mentorship program where you guys are literally mentoring young men and helping them better their lives, therefore bettering society.
00:30:19.000We'll talk a little bit about what your program is.
00:30:22.000Yeah, so basically it's called The War Room, and it's absolutely everything from the ground up, whether it's your physical fitness, your finances, your attitudes, and your relationships with women.
00:30:30.000Everything from the ground up, because my attitude towards life, and this is, once again, people are going to come along and say I'm wrong.
00:30:36.000I really believe you have to be a very well-versed person, and I believe you have to be successful in many different areas to be happy.
00:30:42.000You show me a rich guy who's terrible with women, he's unhappy.
00:30:45.000You show me a guy who's good with girls with no money, he's unhappy.
00:30:48.000You need to have the woman who loves you in a stable relationship.
00:30:50.000You need to have a good financial income.
00:31:01.000But you know, it's just trying to explain that, you know, being the fitness bro and going to the gym every day and getting jacked, but not having a stable bank account and living with your mother at 33 is not how life should be lived.
00:31:49.000Like, well, of course you're depressed.
00:31:50.000Well, one thing I think that's fascinating about The War Room versus some other groups out there is that your organization, The War Room, it actually teaches a talent stack, as you alluded to.
00:33:27.000And we had a hundred people in the Transylvanian mountains.
00:33:29.000You guys came out like it was crazy how fast it's come off.
00:33:32.000And Michael, I'd like to hear Sernovich's point of view on this, but I really am a believer that if you're an able-bodied man in the West, you can get your life together.
00:33:45.000None of us had a perfect start, but if you're an able-bodied man with the right mindset, there's no reason to live anything other than a nice, good, comfortable life.
00:33:52.000You may not be a billionaire, You're going to have a wife who respects you, you're going to have children, you're going to have money in the bank, and everything's going to be fine.
00:34:13.000you're physically able to walk, you don't have any like defects or whatever, and you're just, oh, I don't know, I can't do that, or why do you do this, or what if I do this, or how do I do that?
00:34:22.000It's like, you can't pick up a book, right?
00:34:24.000You just, or you can now go to the internet, you can like game theory or any kind of thing out.
00:34:29.000And the thing I like about your approach is that you just don't allow people to ask questions.
00:34:35.000Like, no, you have to give me a situation.
00:34:38.000I went into this job, I applied, I've talked for half an hour, here's the way the interview did, what went wrong, versus, oh, how do I find a job?
00:35:04.000You, you can't be sitting around waiting for things to happen to you.
00:35:07.000Also, I think, especially in the West, a lot of people's problems are all in their mind.
00:35:11.000And I'm not saying that mental conditions aren't real because absolutely some are, but I try and explain to people, look, If you, the only thing on the planet you have genuine control over is your state of mind.
00:35:22.000Like you can't even control your health.
00:35:57.000Are you going to go cry yourself to sleep?
00:35:59.000So in their own mind, they have this fear of some consequence that may or may not even happen, and that is they're living in a mental prison.
00:36:08.000Or, you know, we had to bully, you know, Bolin here a little bit.
00:36:12.000He used to go to Romania because he was in a mental prison, never traveled internationally.
00:36:15.000It's like, you have the money, just get on a fucking plane, you know?
00:36:31.000And there's so many people who just, they don't, they literally live in prisons of their own making where there won't be any real consequences.
00:37:12.000So you're gonna sit there and worry about speaking?
00:37:14.000Like, so many people are trying to be supportive, especially in the West.
00:37:17.000You have these family units and people around other people, and they think they're doing the right thing by being supportive, when really, you just need to be told, Piss off.
00:37:43.000And I believe if you're a young man, and you're 17, and you're playing video games, maybe masturbating too much on the internet, and you're not striving to live a life similar to mine, get a beautiful girlfriend, live in a nice house, drive a nice car, work a good job, make a good income, we are very, very happy people.
00:37:58.000And we tell people, I think, what they need to hear, rather than reinforcing these negative stereotypes.
00:39:54.000Well, I think that's what's interesting about both of you is that you guys are really friendly, nice guys.
00:39:58.000with you and I think well the Twitter trolls you know they could sit and type away. Nothing can faze me.
00:40:03.000Well I think that's what's interesting about both of you is that you're you guys are really friendly nice guys and you get branded as being you know an asshole or something you're not.
00:40:12.000Mike and I were going out to grab coffee in Romania, and we were trying to figure out how we were going to get there, and we were teasing that we were going to take Tristan's Lamborghini.
00:40:22.000And Mike and I were like, oh, here's the key.
00:40:24.000And the key was actually sitting on the counter.
00:40:25.000And he thought we legitimately took the car.
00:40:28.000And he wasn't like calling us and freaking out and stuff.
00:40:30.000He was like, well, he My rule is this.
00:40:35.000I don't let anyone drive my car who couldn't afford to buy me a new one.
00:40:39.000So, Mr. Bolan, I would have written you a very big invoice with a few extra, you know, Romanian add-ons for fees and my trouble.
00:40:47.000But just to go back to the point, and Mike said it perfectly just there, that's a huge point on happiness.
00:40:51.000When people come to me and say, I'm not happy, I say, why should you be happy?
00:40:57.000This infantile mindset that we're all supposed to be like we were when we were three years old and, ooh, something shiny, laugh all the time, run around in circles, ooh, a cardboard box.
00:41:06.000We're grown-ups and we have responsibilities and we have problems and we have pressure.
00:41:09.000And you don't necessarily have to be happy to perform, especially if you're a man.
00:41:13.000Like women have this, I guess to a degree, they're born lucky.
00:41:18.000Women have this mindset where people expect women to be happy.
00:41:30.000And happiness will come at the end of the performance anyway.
00:41:33.000But if your number one goal as a man, if your number one mission in life is just to be happy, that's going to be an extremely vapious existence and you're not going to be a man of substance.
00:41:42.000The men of substance out there are not necessarily happy people.
00:41:45.000Mike Tyson wasn't happy when he was smashing people's faces in.
00:41:50.000It's just a complete, the whole mindset, the whole idea that, oh, we all need to be happy all the time, is the reason you have men on the streets taking drugs, looking for a quick fix, because they don't want to do any real work to get any genuine fulfillment.
00:42:03.000So they end up shooting drugs, like we were talking about earlier, running around being fools.
00:42:10.000There's never been, maybe this was always the case, but it just skipped a generation where The messaging should be like, oh, you're in pain?
00:43:46.000If you start working the jobs you need to do and you're training and you're seeing three or four different girls and you're trying to start your business on the side, you have no time to sit around moping.
00:43:55.000And before you know it, you'll wake up one day and you'll look at your life and go, wow!
00:43:58.000Well, you know, one thing that's interesting is many coaches, gurus, whatever you want to call them out there, they want you to come to where they are.
00:44:05.000And I think what's really unique about Tristan and about Andrew, both of you, is that you accept people for where they are and maybe where their lifestyle wants to be.
00:44:18.000I don't care if a guy's married and has kids and lives in a nice house, if that's where his happiness is, Now, I can help him elevate that by helping him make more money, getting him better physical fitness, maybe getting involved in a creative thing like chess or something, but you meet people where they are and then help them elevate that lifestyle.
00:44:37.000You're not trying to say, hey, everyone should move to Bucharest and buy a Lamborghini and live in a big house.
00:45:14.000So my goal is just to give people the ability to live a life that lets them feel respected.
00:45:18.000If you feel respected as a man, if people look at you and go, yeah, he's a man, you're a happy guy.
00:45:23.000It's only when people look at you and go, he's a bitch.
00:45:29.000That's also why I don't have a lot of patience for the people who obsess over anti the feminist stuff because sure there's a lot of issues and everything else but I think it's harder for a woman to be happier than it is for a man to be happy.
00:45:42.000Because a man can just go out and get it.
00:45:44.000And moreover, you can be 50 years old as a man and still have access to all the things you wanted, assuming you have enough money and everything else.
00:45:52.000Whereas a woman's 50, if she hasn't had any kids, she's going to have a much tougher time than a 50 year old man.
00:45:59.000Instagram is Instagram is the number one cause of female depression in the Western world.
00:46:03.000Any girl who's 29, I have girl, I know girls who are 29, 30 years old and they're still beautiful, but they'll scroll up and down and they're nearly in tears.
00:46:11.000Like literally Instagram is that powerful for these women and they live on it, you know, and, and so women, they got a ticking time clock, but as a man, and this is another great thing about being a man, you haven't got to be handsome.
00:46:22.000If you're a successful dude and your mind's right, you can be, you can be an ogre and you're still going to be out there doing whatever you want to do and live in your life, you know?
00:46:31.000You know, you haven't, you haven't got the whole women have one thing and this is what the feminist imperative is trying to destroy.
00:46:37.000But the reality and all of us know here is that the, a woman's importance based on, not primarily, but the one, the most important judging factors on a female is how she looks.
00:46:45.000Whereas a man it's really, it's really not like that.
00:46:47.000If you're a big, successful, important dude, no one's going to say, Oh, well, his hair's crap.
00:46:56.000Well, on Twitter, but yeah, I've always thought it's one of the great unfairnesses of the world is that a 70 year old man, like there's pictures of George Soros like partying or whatever, eight years old, young, hot girls.
00:47:07.000And like, if you're a very successful 80 year old woman, like you can't pay for sex, you know?
00:47:11.000And if you think about it, it's kind of a sad thing, right?
00:47:14.000But nobody, Joan Rivers, like, for example, said, you're always, you always stay horny, no matter how old you are, you can't find anybody to do it with.
00:47:34.000That's why I used to avoid that whole subculture now, because that's all they talk about.
00:47:39.000And then because I've been around on the internet for a number of years, I'm like, okay, so you're still talking about this five years later.
00:47:54.000So if you're prepared to do the work, life as a top-tier male is the best human experience.
00:47:58.000Even if you're a top-tier female, even if you're like a supermodel and you've got 5 million followers on Instagram and you're on these boats or whatever, you're still getting dicked by one dude who's bored of you.
00:48:08.000You know, like it was still your only true fulfillment in life is going to be through your kids.
00:48:50.000Because I watch your guys' stuff and I love it because I've lived enough life, I'm like, I actually can honestly say I'm not jealous of that.
00:48:57.000I'd rather sit home and read books or whatever.
00:49:02.000Because you've done it, yeah, you don't have a midlife crisis.
00:49:04.000It's just like, I'm glad they're having fun, but that looks like an awful lot of work.
00:49:08.000Enjoy yourselves, but when you read these much older books, you realize that the way that you guys live would be unattainable in the history of the world to people like us born commoners.
00:49:19.000You would have to have been born into a royal family or like a Roman emperor or something, so you can live like a Roman emperor, but then guys want to bitch all day on the internet about how tough it is, it's so unfair, feminists are beating me down.
00:49:32.000Let's talk about that feminist thing, because you're completely right.
00:49:35.000The Manosphere and the Red Pill and all this thing, and all they talk about is feminists and feminism's ruined women and women aren't submissive and women aren't feminine, blah blah.
00:49:41.000If you're talking to a feminist, if you're on a date with a feminist, you're a low-tier man.
00:49:45.000High-tier men are not dating these crazy, blue-haired, ugly, unattractive, disagreeable people.
00:49:52.000Like, the fact you're even sitting there listening to her, the fact that this has even affected your life, I mean, yeah, is feminism a thing?
00:50:00.000But if you're a real G, if you're a man, and your stuff's in order, and your life's in order, and you take a beautiful girl on a date, you're paying for the date, and she expects you to, and she wants to look pretty, and the gender roles are pretty much still basically there.
00:50:11.000Like, the whole idea that it's impossible to find a girl now because of feminism, that just means you're too far down the pile, friend.
00:50:18.000Both of you gentlemen have been in my house, sitting, sharing whiskeys, drinks with me, cigars, on multiple, multiple occasions.
00:50:24.000Every time that's happened, there's been a beautiful girl there, pouring our drinks, cleaning up our cigar ash, emptying the ashtrays, asking us if we want anything, getting ice.
00:50:31.000And these are girls who are 9 out of 10.
00:50:33.000These are the level of women, and I'm not going to... I am bragging.
00:50:51.000If you're going through your life and every single woman you're with is ultra disagreeable and you decide the problems with women and the problems with feminism and you don't see the problems with you, Well, then you're never going to have a happy, successful relationship.
00:51:04.000A woman is a reflection of her man, and that's the reality of the human condition.
00:51:08.000If you see a woman who's looking after the kids, and she looks after the house, and she's a fantastic mother, that's a testament to the father, in my view.
00:51:15.000I'm like, her man's a G, because she got her stuff right.
00:51:18.000Because if her man was a fool, she would be acting a fool.
00:51:30.000So, you know, it's, you have to take responsibility.
00:51:32.000Well, this goes back to some of the stuff that you guys teach and maybe, you know, to kind of end this segment out is tell, tell the, tell folks listening to this, how, how can they connect with you guys?
00:51:41.000Yeah, so I mean, if this really resonates with you, and you feel like you are that guy that needs to elevate your lifestyle, how do they connect?
00:53:09.000If you don't wake up, look in the mirror and think I'm the greatest man on earth, then you need to join the war room because that's my end goal of it.
00:53:15.000Like I genuinely, like Mike said earlier about how the life we've constructed coming from commoners is just the first time in history can be done.
00:53:22.000I wake up and I look at myself and go, you know what?
00:53:24.000I've done the best I could have possibly done financially, physically.
00:53:29.000Mentally, in every realm, I'm not the best, maybe, but I've done the best I believe I could have possibly done, and I'm super proud of myself.
00:53:35.000And that's how you should feel as a man.
00:53:36.000And that's a great way to have a fulfilled life.
00:53:39.000Whatever that is for each person is different, but to wake up in the morning... And be proud of yourself!
00:54:11.000That's what these guys are doing to improve life for everybody here that lives on this planet.
00:54:17.000You guys are doing your part and giving your all to improve life for everyone.
00:54:21.000Well, I had a bunch of people teach me and now that I've kind of retired from fighting and I just, you know, this is all motivated by Twitter.
00:54:27.000I kept getting so many people come at me and I was like, you know what?
00:54:29.000All right, I'm going to teach all you guys, but you have to be ready to do it.
00:54:32.000A lot of people have turned up so far and if you're ready to join the program, I'll see you inside.
00:54:36.000Be ready for the struggle, because like I said, happiness is at the top of the mountain, so... Alright, thanks a lot guys, it was a pleasure.
