00:00:56.000It's great to catch up and everything.
00:00:58.000I mean, we've been talking about doing this for a little while, but I suppose in the current situation, it's kind of just interesting to catch up with people in different places and just have a chat about what's going on for them and how things are in their part of the world.
00:01:11.000Obviously, I want to pick your brains going into some more of the business-type stuff that maybe you're doing and what guys can do, some of the girl-type stuff under these circumstances and things.
00:01:23.000But yeah, I mean, let's just crack into it, really.
00:01:25.000So, we were chatting off-air just now about – because you're in Romania at the moment?
00:01:32.000So, I was in Romania when the whole lockdown started.
00:01:35.000Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows there was a three-day stint when I went a bit wild and ran away to Sweden, but now I'm back in Romania again.
00:02:05.000Um, one, the number one place where Romanians immigrate for work is Italy.
00:02:11.000They go to Italy for work because the language is very, very similar and they get paid higher wages.
00:02:16.000So when the whole Italian thing popped off, there was like 300,000 Romanians trying to get back into Romania.
00:02:22.000So they banned the flights, but then they all started coming across the land border and at the land border, because coincidentally I was driving across the land border at the same kind of time.
00:02:34.000And of course, every single Romanian is like, no, no, he's lying.
00:02:38.000So then they started, they tried to, there was these lines, like three day waits at the land border, trying to verify where people had come from.
00:02:58.000They're like, okay, well, if we have a problem like Italy, we don't stand a chance.
00:03:01.000We don't have any of the infrastructure to deal with it.
00:03:04.000On top of that, there's also an election June 1st.
00:03:08.000So the last thing the government wants is a shit show now before the election, because then all the Romanians are going to be marching about the corruption.
00:03:20.000So because of the election, the government basically said full lockdown until the election, until June 1st.
00:03:26.000You need to fill in a piece of paper that explains where you're going and why.
00:03:28.000sure they retain power. So it's not a good place to be at the moment. There's zero fun.
00:03:32.000I can't even drive my car without paperwork. Yeah, you need paperwork to go outside. It's garbage. So what are you allowed to go out for? Just like to go to the supermarket and shit like that? Is that it? Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, you need to fill in a piece of paper that explains where you're going and why. But you can just throw it in and lie and saying you're going to the grocery store when you're not.
00:03:52.000And you can go out for a little spin, but there's literally nothing else open.
00:03:55.000And then also they put so many cops on the street that even a short drive, you're gonna get stopped five or six times.
00:04:00.000And then because I'm in a sports car and I'm a foreigner, they start giving me lots of questions and it's just a pain in the ass.
00:04:06.000Like the whole thing's a pain in the ass.
00:04:08.000So with this going on, we ran away to Sweden.
00:04:11.000We looked up countries that were open.
00:04:13.000We saw Belarus and Sweden were the only two countries that didn't have lockdown.
00:04:17.000And we had to make a call, and Belarus had a 14-day quarantine, and it was a self-quarantine we thought maybe we could ignore.
00:04:38.000If they don't fix this in a couple days, I might be going back to Stockholm.
00:04:42.000Well it sounds like it's not a bad option because obviously I mean well Belarus like you say they've got this sort of two-week quarantine self-isolation period whether how strictly they enforce that or not is sort of in the balance but so with Sweden do you have to isolate at all when you get in or is it just?
00:05:02.000You can go to Belarus, they can say isolate for 14 days, you can go, okay, and ignore it, and it might be fine.
00:05:07.000But you might be out one night drinking, and a police officer might come up to you and say, give me your passport, and he might run your name and think, ah, this prick got here eight days ago.
00:06:12.000And, um, there's a few different theories on why they've taken the route they've taken, but they have a public ledger, a ledger, which is publicly accessible and you can see all the deaths in real time.
00:06:22.000And they're basically saying the people who are dying are already sick and already very old.
00:06:26.000And we're doing the best we can for them.
00:06:28.000And our health service is not stretched, so there's no reason to stay inside.
00:06:43.000I mean, yeah, I guess that's one of the issues, probably, that we've got in the UK, is that they know that, basically, the health service just isn't really up to the job if, you know, things continue.
00:06:54.000Well, they might be more up to the job if they weren't so busy making fucking TikToks.
00:06:58.000Well, yeah, I saw you posting about that, actually.
00:07:01.000Is there anything that's going to piss you off more?
00:07:03.000If you're in hospital, or someone you love is in hospital dying, and then you see some fucking TikTok video on Twitter.
00:07:11.000It's supposed to be like, oh, wow, so lighthearted and funny.
00:07:15.000There's zero, this is not funny at all.
00:07:18.000Like, I just think, what absolute incompetence.
00:07:21.000There has to become a point when, as a grown-up, you decide that competence and taking an issue seriously is worth more than attention, and lightheartedness is bullshit.
00:08:02.000I think most people are ignoring it, aren't they?
00:08:03.000I've heard a lot of people just walking around.
00:08:05.000Well, people are starting to walk around.
00:08:06.000I mean, I went into central London yesterday just to have a look around, which was on my daily walk, so I wasn't, strictly speaking, like, you know, breaking any rules or anything.
00:08:17.000I mean, but it was kind of a wasteland to what it normally is, but there was still quite a lot of people around.
00:08:22.000There was a lot of people, like, walking in couples, a lot of people on bikes.
00:08:25.000So they're kind of following the rules in principle, if you like, in the sense that, you know, you're allowed to go out for a walk, you're allowed to take your daily exercise.
00:08:35.000So I think people are sort of observing that, but it's a little bit lax here really.
00:08:39.000And I don't know, I mean, I think as time goes on, I'm seeing a lot more people on social media, not just here, but elsewhere saying basically, you know, to hell with this, we're Exactly.
00:08:51.000And I mean, when I left, when I was finished in Sweden, I wanted to come to the UK, but coincidentally, before I flew to the UK, Romania banned all flights from England.
00:08:59.000And they did that because of the Easter holiday.
00:09:02.000This is the most Christian country in the world.
00:10:00.000I mean, just from my point of view, I've been sort of stuck with the same thing because I mean, I could be here, I could go to Berlin because I've got a place in Berlin.
00:10:07.000I could, you know, I was looking at some of these other places.
00:10:09.000I mean, I suppose Stockholm is one, but then you kind of weigh it up, don't you?
00:10:13.000And you sort of think, well, what is the best thing to do under these circumstances?
00:10:17.000I mean, in a way, just sitting in my apartment and just getting on with a load of work is actually not a bad way.
00:10:47.000If you're caught outside of your gate, you're going to jail.
00:10:50.000Well, I'm in real jail now, so I'm sitting in a house arrest, and when this is over, I'm gonna disappear somewhere.
00:10:55.000We'll see how much of the world's reopened by then and I'll disappear.
00:10:58.000But hey, I think this will at least give us a crazy summer.
00:11:01.000When this shit's over, it's gonna be a crazy summer.
00:11:03.000I think everyone's gonna be up for a party.
00:11:05.000Well, mate, I mean, I've been saying for a while, actually, since this started to, you know, since the lockdown started to get more strict over here, I've been saying for a while, I think we're going to see just like an explosion of activity when we come out the other side of this, because I think everyone's getting, I mean, guys are getting thirsty, obviously, just sitting on their hands, you know.
00:11:24.000having to resort to, you know, PornHub or Camgirls or, you know, whatever it is.
00:11:28.000But girls are as well. Do you know what I mean?
00:11:31.000Like, we've never experienced anything like this before where everyone's just been locked up.
00:11:35.000You can feel it boiling up, can't you? Like the sexual tension.
00:11:39.000Yeah, I said this the other day. I said, if the girl you like won't text you back now, when she has nothing to do all day, every day, you may as well just delete her number.
00:11:47.000Because if she's going to ignore you now, then she's just going to ignore you forever.
00:11:50.000Like, all the girls are bored, all the dudes are bored.
00:11:54.000It'd be interesting to see the financial situation when people come out of this, how much money they're going to have to waste.
00:11:59.000But I still think everyone's going to be on the street.
00:12:01.000Everyone's going to be up for a party.
00:12:02.000So it's going to be a cool summer one way or another.
00:12:10.000I mean, without getting too much into like the politics of it necessarily, I mean, do you think, I mean, obviously, there's differing opinions over the internet about what's happening, what's really going on and all of that stuff.
00:12:20.000I mean, do you think that the response to this is disproportionate with?
00:13:01.000They've already agreed that four out of five people are asymptomatic and they've already agreed that we already know the World Health Organization started talking about this in November, December.
00:13:09.000You think the World Health Organization are going to instantly spot and begin to discuss and track a virus where four out of five people who get sick show zero symptoms?
00:13:20.000I mean, if everyone who got sick got very, very sick and started dying, then the World Health Organization would very quickly jump all over it.
00:13:27.000But if four out of five people don't even get sick, and then the people who do get sick, a lot of them recover, and the symptoms are the same as the flu or the common cold, then it's going to go on for months and months and months and months before anyone even clocks it's a different disease, before anyone even notices anything.
00:13:44.000So I'm telling you that this fucking corona has been around for probably a year. This has been around for a very long time because there's no way it would have been spotted, which means that in the summer of last year when the flights were going in and out of Wuhan and all the borders were open and me and you were in the clubs running around acting like dickheads and everyone was fine, there was already corona to catch and a whole bunch of people already had it and didn't even notice and aren't going to get sick again.
00:14:09.000So this is why the whole thing to me is disproportionate.
00:14:11.000It's because it's already been around for so long.
00:14:14.000It's just like, when you think you caught it in its infancy, now that they're trying to track it and say a bunch of scary numbers, that doesn't change the fact that Corona has been here for a very long time and everyone's fine.
00:15:11.000I don't think shutting down the economy would be interesting to them.
00:15:13.000I do think the only conspiracy theory angle I'm going to take is, I do think that the people in charge of the world are very pleased with how easily people have agreed to be locked out.
00:15:38.000I mean, now I don't think it was done on purpose now, and I don't think there's any kind of big cabal behind this on purpose.
00:15:44.000I believe the virus is real, blah blah blah.
00:15:46.000I'm just saying it's certainly going to click in a few people's minds that, you know, people will accept some bullshit pretty quickly if you talk about viruses which are basically non-lethal to 99.9% of people.
00:15:56.000Yeah, I mean, one of the things that I've found sort of interesting about this, and a bit disturbing to be honest, is just how keen people are to get locked down.
00:16:06.000And people want more restrictions, right?
00:16:18.00050% of the law of averages is going to ensure because it's the average. Half of people are below average IQ, and there's nothing you can do about that. I mean, that's the average. You've got half of people who are below average IQ. You have half of people who are... And it's not just IQ. You can measure it in lots of things. There's a whole bunch of people who are just pussies. They have no bravery.
00:17:08.000And of course they're crying for more lockdowns.
00:17:10.000Yeah, well nobody's thinking about the knock-on effects of this though, are they?
00:17:16.000Because they're thinking, obviously, yeah, people want to be safe, they don't want to get sick, they don't want to get their families to be sick and that, and you can understand that, but to be crying out to the government, to be putting like police on the streets, putting the army on the streets, all this kind of thing, it just seems to me that is, you know, you've got to be think very carefully about what you wish for in this situation.
00:17:34.000Yeah, I completely agree with you, and that's why it's all messed up.
00:17:37.000And there's also going to be a huge study, which will never be done, which will tell you a lot about the ethnicities, because that's another big thing.
00:17:45.000I think the reason Romanians have obeyed and the reason the streets here are so quiet is because everyone's Romanian.
00:17:49.000I know in some of the countries that are more multicultural, there's huge percentages of the population just ignoring it and just saying, well, I don't care.
00:17:56.000You know, so then you have to take into the bid, is it a race thing?
00:18:01.000Is it like, is it, how do I say this without getting banned?
00:18:05.000Is it people calling for more restrictions because they're unhappy that particular groups of society are ignoring the restrictions?
00:18:10.000Or is it because they actually believe that people need more restrictions?
00:18:13.000Blah blah blah, it all becomes complicated.
00:18:19.000It's a very good example of why you should have enough sovereignty to keep yourself in good shape in the first place.
00:18:25.000How are you going to be fucking 28 and have an underlying disease based on obesity?
00:18:28.000How are you going to have an underlying health condition at 27 because you ate too many fucking cupcakes and then you want to complain to the NHS?
00:18:36.000People have no self-responsibility at all.
00:19:20.000I mean, do you think that, in part, the response to this has been driven, getting this back into more like manosphere territory, do you think that the response to this has been driven in part by a certain feminization in society, in the sense that we're all very molly, molly cold now, aren't we?
00:19:35.000And we're all very sort of like wrapped in cotton wool.
00:19:38.000And is that part of why this is rolled out like this, do you think?
00:19:41.000I definitely think there's a few elements at play that would have changed the entire scope.
00:19:55.000And more people died than died with Corona.
00:19:57.000And the reason nobody cared is because the media liked Obama.
00:20:00.000So nobody said anything bad about him.
00:20:02.000So he could basically ignore it and it's fine.
00:20:04.000Whereas if Trump tried to ignore it, every single death would be all over the papers blaming Trump.
00:20:10.000So he has no choice but to lock down because if America refused to lock down, a whole bunch of other countries would have refused to lock down.
00:20:16.000So I think that's one of the things that the media would have gone for Trump so hard.
00:20:21.000I think that's one of the first things.
00:20:23.000And the second thing, yeah, I mean, society is definitely becoming softer.
00:20:27.000It's certainly becoming softer as a whole.
00:20:30.000I mean, if it was a male-centric society, would we still remove the idea of locking down?
00:21:37.000It doesn't matter what the recession comes, doesn't matter if it's a pandemic, doesn't matter if it's Christmas, doesn't matter if it's New Year, it doesn't matter.
00:21:43.000There's money being spent on these websites.
00:21:50.000So I've got girls making $3,000 a day in an eight-hour shift, just sitting there talking shit to dudes all around the world.
00:21:57.000And I became my girls. My girls are some of the best girls in the world. Like most girls don't make that much, but you know, it's crazy. And there's a whole bunch of money being spent online because guys are bored at home and they want to talk to a hot young 19 year old. And this is the So yeah, definitely been good for that business.
00:22:43.000Anyone who has any questions can go there.
00:22:45.000I don't consider that an income because I'm not really one of those.
00:22:48.000A lot of the people who sell courses on Twitter, That's how they have money.
00:22:52.000And to me, it's kind of like a Ponzi scheme.
00:22:54.000I'm going to come along and say, I'm rich.
00:22:55.000And I'll tell you how to be rich, but they are only rich because they're telling you how to be rich.
00:22:58.000It's just a big, like I have real businesses.
00:23:01.000So the course is that money's used on war room events.
00:23:04.000I throw these big parties for war room guys, or, uh, I, I fund different forks accounts, et cetera, but I don't really consider that a big business anyway.
00:23:19.000To teach other people and also helps me to recruit staff.
00:23:21.000I have like seven or eight people from the War Room who now work for me remotely all around the world making a whole bunch of money, which I only found because they joined the War Room in the first place.
00:23:28.000So it's good for me to have a network like that, a talent pool, and that's the main reason I do it.
00:23:33.000But Cam certainly, Cam is certainly noticeably busier.
00:23:54.000So basically, I was explaining to guys, all these guys... See, this is the difference between me and most of these other motherfuckers, is that they will sit on Twitter and they will see girls making money with OnlyFans.
00:24:14.000Like, if I see somebody making money, I want my money.
00:24:18.000Like, so I see all these bimbos making money, and I'm like, whoa, well, if a bimbo like her can make money, surely someone as intelligent as I can get involved in this.
00:24:26.000So I've actually been doing OnlyFans for two years.
00:25:18.000Okay, if I were to say to you, you can take a picture and sell it for money.
00:25:23.000What you would do is take unlimited pictures and become a multi-trillionaire because you have a male mindset.
00:25:29.000What a woman will do is take one picture, make 500 bucks, and then not touch her phone again for a week because she's too busy watching Netflix, eating ice cream, and talking shit to her friends because they're lazy.
00:25:39.000They want enough to survive, but they don't want to conquer the world.
00:25:43.000Whereas as a man, you can come along and use your mindset, and if she'll obey your instructions, you can make a shit ton of money.
00:26:23.000And I mean, that's a big part of what you teach guys.
00:26:27.000But obviously, you know, like you say, you've got the trading stuff, you've done crypto stuff, you've got all of these other different avenues as well.
00:26:35.000I mean, you know, you make money in one area, then you can move it on to a different sphere.
00:26:40.000When you already have money, you have a few options.
00:26:42.000One, if you see a good idea, you can throw money at it.
00:26:44.000Two, you can use your money to make money.
00:26:47.000And three, I mean, if you have money, you don't have the pressure of a lot of people have a good idea, but they're too busy going to work and doing everything else to pull their idea off.
00:26:54.000So money gives you a degree of freedom to pull other things off.
00:26:58.000Because obviously a lot of people are in a sort of enforced, not break exactly, but a lot of people are like working from home or they're on lockdown and isolation and stuff.
00:27:07.000I mean, what would you say to the guy who's maybe just coming into this space and they're like, shit, I want to change. I don't want to be doing this cubicle job for the rest of my life, etc. I mean, is now a good time to start a business and to go your own way? It seems like we've all been presented with this sort of enforced opportunity for reappraisal, haven't we? So how would you advise guys to use it?
00:27:47.000If you were a warrior, you'd already be fighting.
00:27:49.000And the point I was making is, if you're going to have three weeks off work, stuck in your house, watching Netflix, and at no point during that, are you going to sit and think, maybe I should try something new?
00:28:06.000Like, I mean, it's not going to even cross your mind at any point.
00:28:12.000And I understand people go, well, it crossed my mind, I didn't know what to do, or I was afraid, or I couldn't afford it, whatever, whatever, whatever.
00:28:18.000But there are people out there who will genuinely just watch TV for three weeks straight and it won't even cross their mind.
00:29:06.000Always and that's the reason I was so successful because there's not many men who could turn down titties all day long and Instead take dollar bills, but I could and that's why I made so much money But you know, so I was always in it for the money So when I'm trying to present these ideas to people people are sitting there thinking oh, well, he just wants to playboy lifestyle No, I'm telling you how to make fucking money.
00:29:38.000So yeah, I mean, definitely there's a chance to reappraise your life right now.
00:29:42.000I teach everything I know on CobraTape.com, but also, you've got all the time in the world to sit and think and try and work something out, because the nature of the world is this, man.
00:29:50.000I'll tell you, there's two things you can never do to get rich.
00:30:45.000And when you think about it, you know, you think about what are the big, what are the big things that you can make cash from?
00:30:50.000And sex is really, it's at the top of the tree, isn't it?
00:30:53.000I mean, that is the one thing that every guy wants and every guy's going to want.
00:30:57.000You know, even if it was, even if it was the apocalypse, there'd still be people like bloody going on to, uh, you know, going to chat to their favorite cam girl and stuff, wouldn't there?
00:31:07.000I tell you now, my, my, my girl's number one fans, if it was the end of the world and they had an hour left, the first thing they do is log in.
00:31:13.000Sex is mandatory and it's necessary for the human condition.
00:31:17.000Sex is like food, except it's more expensive.
00:31:23.000There's an interesting point that you just raised just then though, which reminded me, I was listening to a podcast last night where a guy, I forget who it was, but a guy was being interviewed and he had apparently had some quite extensive, you know, he'd been involved with the sort of entourage type game, you know, taking groups of models to nightclubs and all this kind of stuff and the sort of club promotion stroke entourage type thing.
00:31:47.000And he said that guys, he said promoters who are good don't fuck the girls and they don't, you know, they don't party basically. But who wants to do that?
00:31:59.000Because everyone just wants to have sex with the girls and everyone just wants to party.
00:32:02.000So the point, and he said, you know, to be accepted in those circles as a guy, it's actually quite, because most guys don't make the grade because most guys just aren't going to be able to handle Being around those sort of incredibly beautiful women and they're going to be weird or they're going to fuck it up or whatever.
00:32:19.000I mean, does some of that apply to what you're doing though?
00:32:21.000Because as much as obviously you teach guys how to do this, but do you think a guy has to be of a certain mindset in order to be able to spend time with a lot of like very hot women and not just fuck it up in some way just because of the way that he comes across or, you know, creating drama with the girls or, you know, whatever?
00:32:40.000Yeah, there's certainly, okay, so there's two ways you can run.
00:32:43.000There's two ways you can make money from the sex industry, the online sex industry as a man.
00:33:55.000Women are constantly looking for guidance.
00:33:58.000A lot of men sit on Twitter and they see these girls making all this money with webcam or OnlyFans, and they have the idea that it's some strong, independent chick working hard, making all this money.
00:34:25.000Women are not really that money motivated.
00:34:27.000So if you can come along and motivate them and give them some structure and give them some rewards for working hard outside of money, like attention, Or, you know, some good dick.
00:34:37.000Whatever, you can make a whole bunch of money.
00:34:38.000So there's a whole bunch of ways you can do it.
00:34:40.000Of course, if you're completely socially inept, and all girls hate you, it's gonna be harder.
00:34:44.000But then, why are you living that life anyway?
00:38:25.000You know what's changed the dating game completely?
00:38:27.000line game is kind of got to be where it's at. But what do you reckon? I mean, should guys be out there trying to trying to hustle? You know, on the dating apps? Or should they just be like, let's just take some time out and yeah, you know what, you know, what's changed the dating game completely. Instagram, Instagram, that one app has flipped the dating game upside Because every single girl is now in competition for those Instagram pics.
00:38:59.000I mean, I'm telling you now, as a top-tier man, which is what I consider myself, as a young, tall, strong, rich millionaire with a Lambo and all this shit, I love my Instagram.
00:39:08.000Instagram is the number one dating app for me.
00:39:14.000And click open my inbox and there's some girl who's liked something, or asked me some bullshit question she doesn't care about to try and get money to reply, or followed me and liked 20 pics.
00:39:23.000Like, Instagram's huge for me because it's easy for me.
00:39:27.000But if you don't have an Instagram page like mine, then it's going to be a bit harder.
00:39:31.000But this changed the game, Instagram, man, because I get people saying, oh yeah, you can just go to Ukraine and get some hot girl from a village.
00:39:38.000That hot girl from a village has 200,000 followers.
00:39:51.000Well, I suppose initially I was just asking about with coronavirus, do you think guys can still bang?
00:39:57.000But there's an interesting point to be made here about the global sexual marketplace, as Rollo says.
00:40:02.000And I mean, this is something we've been talking about for ages.
00:40:05.000So just initially with the coronavirus stuff at the moment, do you think guys should still be concentrating on, you know, pimping their Instagram and trying to get girls to come over?
00:40:15.000So what, so in my PhD course, not to do too big a plug, but in my PhD course, I have a system which I lay out, a very clear system that starts from if you meet a girl online, how to then text, then I have a very clear system I lay out.
00:40:27.000It's very, very, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:40:34.000Cause I've been doing this a long time.
00:40:36.000So yeah, guys should absolutely be getting leads, but I'll tell you something, man.
00:40:40.000I, I never really considered myself a pickup artist and I really consider myself I ended up on Twitter and I kind of ended up in this space, but I never was trained on this stuff or whatever, whatever.
00:40:51.000I see a lot of guys who come to me who make rookie mistakes.
00:40:54.000I'm going to give out a little bit of free knowledge now.
00:40:56.000And the free knowledge I'm going to give to guys is, I don't know how other guys do it, but you can't sit and chat shit to a girl for months and months.
00:41:05.000I mean, how much you got to talk about?
00:41:08.000So you have to have a system in place that's going to allow you to escalate and elevate your conversations and elevate and escalate your You know what I mean?
00:41:44.000And that, so that leads back, back into the global thing, right?
00:41:47.000Because what you're describing, you know, it's the, it's the old thing of like the girl who's in Siberia, who's, who's a nine, but whereas 15, 10, 15 years ago, maybe even less actually, but you know, like say a decade ago.
00:41:59.000She might have ended up just marrying the guy who works in the local Costco because that's just how things went down.
00:42:06.000Now she's getting flown to Dubai by, you know, etc, etc.
00:42:10.000I mean, like, in your view, do you think the dating market is now completely changed?
00:42:14.000I mean, there's no putting that genie back in the bottle, is there?
00:42:17.000No, there's no putting that genie back in the bottle.
00:42:19.000Now, I'm not saying that you can't get hot girls.
00:42:21.000I'm just saying that the hot girls are certainly aware of their worth, and Instagram gives them unlimited dating pool.
00:42:27.000Like, one of my girls has 69,000 followers on Instagram.
00:42:31.000Her Instagram account's on my phone, so I can see at any time.
00:42:34.000And she gets a message every six minutes, maybe?
00:42:40.000And she's had messages from verified NFL stars, Chicago Bulls, all this shit.
00:42:45.000So like, if you're a hot girl, like, if you ever feel lonely, you click your Instagram inbox, you scroll through, and you decide who you want to reply to.
00:42:55.000These girls are never lonely, and they're never not talking to someone.
00:42:59.000And this is the element that most men forget, and this is something I try and drive home in the PhD course.
00:43:03.000The reason it's so hard for a man is, you're not trying to make her like you.
00:43:08.000You're trying to make her like you more than she likes the guy she was talking to before you!
00:43:51.000And I mean, there's already the thing about the, you know, the way Tinder operates and the way that, you know, if you are... Allegedly, the Tinder algorithm works in such a way that it determines your... How hot you are.
00:44:04.000And then it will only show you, you know, girls on a certain level.
00:44:07.000So already that glass ceiling has been put in.
00:44:09.000Whereas maybe at the beginning of Tinder, you could have lucked out and started talking to a girl who was like a nine or a half, you want to judge it.
00:44:15.000Now that opportunity's gone, maybe the social media apps are going to go in a similar, I mean, well, they already are de facto in that sense anyway, because they're going to talk to you.
00:44:25.000They're not necessarily going to talk to other dudes.
00:44:38.000It's super hard to compete on social media apps, and it's getting super hard to compete anywhere else.
00:44:41.000And this is the nature of being a man.
00:44:43.000Being a man is super difficult, and girls have all the choice, and you have to just find a way to pull it off.
00:44:47.000Now, I teach everything I possibly know from head to toe in the PhD course, but there is an element of personal responsibility involved, just like we were talking about Corona.
00:44:55.000If you're going to sit and become a fat Piece of shit with no money.
00:45:00.000I mean, obviously if you have attributes, the more bullets you have in your gun, the better, but it's certainly not going to get any easier for men.
00:45:05.000It's definitely not going to get easier.
00:45:07.000But I, but saying that I believe any able-bodied man can definitely have as much sex as he wants.
00:45:11.000If he gets his game right and he just makes, just avoids the basic mistakes.
00:45:15.000Well, the other thing as well is, like, on the one hand, yes, there's more competition than there's ever been before.
00:45:20.000Yes, you know, there's a higher, like, entry price, if you like, to put it that way for certain women and so on.
00:45:28.000But at the same time, there is also massive opportunity, right?
00:45:31.000I mean, you know, We've all got access to these same apps.
00:45:35.000We've all got access to relatively inexpensive travel.
00:45:39.000We can all set up an online business and be location independent and all that kind of stuff.
00:45:43.000So there are massive opportunities for guys as well, right?
00:45:46.000Of course there are massive opportunities.
00:45:47.000A lot of people don't act on their opportunity.
00:46:07.000So I was verified on Instagram about a year ago.
00:46:10.000Before that, I had like 40,000 followers and I had a good account.
00:46:13.000And then I got verified and I got like 80,000 and a blue tick.
00:46:18.000Now I'm verified so I I talked to all those girls with like three million followers and all this shit So I'll be talking to a girl And at my level even at even as as at this level I think it's even harder here than it was anywhere else because If I'm talking to a girl with let's say I was talking to a girl in Dubai She had two million followers.
00:46:35.000We were staying in the same hotel And I I was talking to her blah blah.
00:46:39.000I knew a guy took her there because there's no way she has her own fucking money So she's staying with a dude anyway And she's replying to me.
00:47:01.000And when she messaged me, I click her story.
00:47:04.000She was on some fucking boat and the boat had a car collection on the deck.
00:47:10.000So on Tuesday, when she was supposed to meet me, she ended up fucking off with God knows whoever and was on a boat with about $10 million of cars.
00:47:18.000They had like seven Lambos on the deck of the boat, a yacht, a private yacht.
00:47:31.000I ignored her back just to have the final victory.
00:47:33.000You know, but, but it's like, this is when you get to that level, It's still not easy, because then you've got dudes like fucking Sheikh Mohammed Bouhamed Douhamed who has a fucking super boat.
00:47:43.000So, it's always going to be hard no matter what level you play the game.
00:47:46.000But that's also the reason why we enjoy the game.
00:47:50.000If it was easy, none of us would play it.
00:47:53.000You just gotta fucking roll with the punches, use it as motivation to become the best person you can be, and enjoy the ups and downs like everything else.
00:48:01.000Well, that is the one good thing about this from the male point of view, isn't it?
00:48:05.000It does drive us to get better, right?
00:48:18.000In a way, that's kind of an advantage, right?
00:48:20.000Because if you're a hot girl, you don't have to do anything until you're 35, and then you're thinking, oh shit, you know, and then you've got to sort out that situation.
00:48:36.000Women are sitting around talking about how they're subjected and how evil men are we did all this shit for girls If I didn't I said this to my brother the other day if I didn't care about fucking girls I wouldn't even live in a city I'd live in the middle of God knows where by myself with a bunch of machine guns and do push-ups all day Like why do I even live in a city?
00:48:53.000Why do I have supercars and champagne in a big house?
00:48:56.000I do all this shit fuck I don't need this crap.
00:51:30.000Well, what do you think about some of these, like, um, former, you know, PUA-type guys who they've renounced it all and they're like, no, no, it's gone old now.
00:51:40.000And then they grow a massive beard and they go and live in the mountains and, you know.
00:52:02.000So the only time I considered myself a pickup artist and the only time I got serious about getting as many girls as possible was when I started my can business.
00:52:10.000Before that, if I had a couple chicks, I didn't give a shit.
00:52:14.000When I had my can business, even if I had 10 chicks, I wanted more and more and more.
00:52:17.000So I always approached my gain, my highest days of gain, I approached with the end result, my end goal being money.
00:53:22.000And the reason he's failed is because if you read his blogs, all he talks about is wanting a family, wanting a girl he can make a family out of, and he couldn't pull it off.
00:53:30.000So through all of his knowledge, he couldn't get a girl to stay with him for more than two minutes.
00:53:36.000So that just proves that behind his gain, which, I mean, and let's be honest.
00:53:42.000I mean, I say this to guys all the time.
00:54:22.000So you have to once again, look at the whole game.
00:54:24.000And if you're a pickup artist or you're a POA, whatever, what is your end goal?
00:54:27.000If your end goal is to sleep with a thousand women, okay, good, do it.
00:54:29.000But then what happens once you've done it?
00:54:31.000You got to have like an exit strategy.
00:54:32.000I've always, I always had a clear strategy, which was financial.
00:54:36.000So for me, it was like, okay, money, money, money.
00:54:38.000So I could always tell if I was doing well or not, but I mean, I don't know how many girls you need to sleep with until eventually you get to the point where it's like, uh, I don't know.
00:54:47.000I don't know if it ever gets like that.
00:54:58.000I think the only one thing that's a bit of a blessing probably to all of us is I do think it does start to you know, it's the desire starts to become a little bit less white hot as you go on. And I mean, I'm even I'm fine that myself, you know what I mean? Like, so, so I think I think there's a little bit of sweet relief there in a way. And yes, you do have to think about, you know, the what you're going to do on the other end, because obviously, you don't want to be, you know, 70 running around,
00:55:28.000you know, doing whatever. But And you don't want to be like Roosh in the mountains with a beard, reading the Bible, talking shit.
00:56:23.000We've talked about this before, but do you see yourself, in the end, going down the family route and having some heirs?
00:56:29.000In the end, I'm going to go the family route, because I think that, personally, I think that there comes a point in life where the only enjoyment you can have is vicarious.
00:56:43.000I think once you're 60-something, you get far more pleasure Teaching what you know and watching a young person who's related to you experiencing life for the first time, then you can do anything.
00:57:31.000If you just jump in bed and start having kids with the first woman you fuck, there's a whole bunch of information and life experience you're missing.
00:57:37.000So I think every man should use his 20s and 30s to fuck something, and then maybe his 50s and 60s to race something.
00:57:49.000And I heard you say the other day, actually, he's just, Taj here's just said, Andrew could do what Abu American does as an exit strategy, which I think is have five wives and seven children or something.
00:58:01.000But I quite like what you were saying the other day about having to handle your woman, or handle your wife or whatever, or your girlfriend or whatever, and how that can negatively impact on business.
00:58:14.000So, did you want to speak around that briefly?
00:58:17.000Because I think that's a really important point.
00:58:18.000This touches on what we were saying earlier.
00:58:21.000Guys not being able to handle female energy, right?
00:58:23.000Because if you let your girl walk all over you, and she gets in the way of your business, then you're going to be screwed.
00:58:29.000Your woman will fuck up your life completely if you let her.
00:58:32.000And she may not even know she's doing it.
00:58:50.000They want your time, but it's a waste.
00:58:52.000So if you're a dedicated man, if you want to run a business, you want to be in good shape, you want to get shit done, you haven't got time to be sitting there all day with a woman.
00:58:59.000And too many guys, they capitulate, and they go, oh, if I sit with my wife, my wife wants to go here, oh, it's this night, it's date night, oh, no, no.
00:59:07.000And then they wonder why I get to be a world champion, and I'm rich, and they're not, because I spent more time doing shit for me, while you spent time doing shit for women you're not even with anymore.
00:59:15.000You have to have your woman in order to have your life in order, because if the woman's in control, you're fucked, because they don't know any better.
01:00:06.000Isn't it ironic how they want the results, but they don't like you doing the... Yeah, they all want to fuck a fighter, but until you have to train, now you're too busy and tired.
01:00:19.000After I used to train for fights, I didn't want to fuck these girls.
01:00:41.000But you have to have your woman in check.
01:00:42.000If you don't have your woman in check, you can never live a life of true purpose.
01:00:46.000I'm telling you now, man, the reason most men do the shit they do with women is because they're afraid their woman's going to cheat on them.
01:00:53.000If every man was completely honest, the ideal relationship for a man with a woman, I'm sure I live it.
01:01:02.000But I'm gonna tell you now, there's gonna be men out there who go, that's not my ideal relationship, they're fucking liars.
01:01:06.000The ideal relationship is to wake up, go out, make money, work, be with your boys, hang with your boys all day, do whatever the fuck you want, come home late at night, eat your dinner, talk for maximum 15 minutes, fuck, and go to sleep.
01:01:22.00015 minutes to listen to their shit, sex, bed, wake up, back with the boys again, back on mission, back getting shit done.
01:01:30.000That's what every man wants, but they're afraid to do it because then they think if my woman doesn't get attention, she's going to run off and be a hoe.
01:01:35.000And that's how they end up walking around Ikea, looking at curtains on their only day off, pretending they're not fucking depressed.
01:01:42.000I know no man alive who gives a fuck about curtains on a Sunday afternoon.
01:02:16.000Well, look, I mean, it's obviously the current scenario has probably, if nothing else, showed us the need for anti-fragility, right?
01:02:24.000I mean, just in terms of business, in terms of women, in terms of like, you know, so if anything, the message that, you know, you put out and Tristan puts out, and I know, you know, I mean, I agree with much of what you guys say around this.
01:02:38.000If guys could learn one thing from this current scenario, what would you say it would be?
01:02:44.000I think what guys need to do is they need to learn a lot about themselves.
01:02:47.000And I think people need to be a lot more realistic with themselves because the number one excuse everyone has for everything is they didn't have time.
01:04:04.000So, learn about yourself, and if you want to take time during this crisis to upgrade yourself and upgrade your life, you should be looking to learn things.
01:05:13.000I think there's going to be money around, but people are going to change how they spend it.
01:05:16.000And I think people have already changed their attitudes toward money.
01:05:19.000They're going to be a little bit more frugal, a little bit more careful with what they spend money on.
01:05:22.000They're going to think a little bit more.
01:05:24.000And that gives opportunity in lots of different ways.
01:05:26.000You need to sit there and try to identify how you think things are going to change with the way people spend their money and people's attitudes to money.
01:05:32.000But also, if you have a little bit of money floating around, that gives you the advantage again.
01:05:35.000Girls are going to need drinks bought for them more than ever.
01:05:38.000So, you know, there's definitely going to be an advantage there.
01:05:40.000So, it's just looking at the chessboard and making the move.
01:06:22.000And that's what you need to be looking at as a person, is taking the skills you need and the mindset you need to make sure that you win regardless.
01:06:28.000I will get more pussy from this lockdown.
01:07:34.000At the end of this coronavirus thing, do you see a swing towards nationalism, towards more right-wing type politics being instituted by these countries?
01:08:10.000I think it's going to give the nationalists what they need to be able to drill at home to people and make them understand the importance of nationalization.
01:08:17.000So I think it's probably going to help the right argument, but You know, my view on politics nowadays is I just think the world's such a mess.
01:08:26.000I don't even know how to fix it anymore, bro.
