00:00:00.000 We're going to go straight into some questions here, Andrew, if you don't mind.
00:00:04.000 During one of your rants, you've mentioned losing your dad in one of the recent episodes.
00:00:09.000 And people have asked me before, how do the Tates get their money?
00:00:14.000 They must have inherited a shitload.
00:00:17.000 Were their parents minted?
00:00:18.000 Okay, and I put this to Tristan, and he said, I inherited something much more valuable than millions from my father and the ability to booze.
00:00:27.000 And intelligence and the ability to booze was his answer.
00:00:30.000 So, could you shed some light on who your father was?
00:00:33.000 Yeah, my father was one of the best chess players in the world.
00:00:37.000 He was an extremely intelligent man.
00:00:38.000 He was a former CIA agent.
00:00:41.000 He spoke multiple languages.
00:00:42.000 He joined the army, the traditional army, and they gave everyone an IQ test, and he got one of the highest scores ever recorded in the history of the American Armed Forces.
00:00:49.000 They instantly put him into the special branch of the NSA where he learned Russian inside of three weeks.
00:00:56.000 When he died, people were messaging me saying that they were on the same course as him, other people who were like Mensa members and geniuses and such, and they were saying that it was amazing.
00:01:04.000 How quickly and how far ahead he was of everyone else learning Russian.
00:01:08.000 There were people who lived with Russian wives and spoke Russian at home, and within three weeks he was correcting their grammar on their Russian.
00:01:13.000 It's crazy.
00:01:14.000 Bloody hell.
00:01:15.000 He was stupid smart.
00:01:17.000 I'm nowhere near as intelligent as him.
00:01:19.000 But I did inherit a few important assets, like the ability to throw down, and you know, I don't really sunburn.
00:01:25.000 I've got a little bit of brown in me.
00:01:26.000 So, you know, it's all good.
00:01:28.000 If he was still alive, I'd say he'd be cockpit number one for Who Stole Your Aston.
00:01:32.000 He sounds like a pretty intelligent guy.
00:01:34.000 He's still like.
00:01:35.000 If he was still alive, he'd be standing in that exact spot in central London, ripping to the people to rip their heads off.
00:01:41.000 He was a lot less calm than I am.
00:01:43.000 I really am quite live and let live, shit happens.
00:01:46.000 I'm not even upset about it anymore.
00:01:48.000 But my dad, he was a different animal.
00:01:50.000 He was a dangerous man.
00:01:52.000 Jesus.
00:01:54.000 Thank God I got you to do the web series about it.
00:01:57.000 Correct.
00:01:57.000 He wouldn't have lasted this long with my dad.
00:01:59.000 No, I'm starting to realise that.
00:02:03.000 Question number two actually comes from one of our viewers An occupational hazard of being athletes.
00:02:08.000 Such as ourselves, is that we're in constant danger of getting injuries.
00:02:13.000 Isn't that right?
00:02:14.000 And famously at school, I sprained a muscle, arm muscle.
00:02:19.000 Everyone suggested it was too much of that, a night on the Vaseline, but it wasn't.
00:02:23.000 It was through weightlifting, lifting mugs, big mugs of tea.
00:02:29.000 The question is, comes from Dave Wayne, who runs the MMA Bible page.
00:02:34.000 What's the worst injury you've witnessed in the ring?
00:02:38.000 I've seen people die in the ring, I've seen five people die.
00:02:41.000 Fucking hell.
00:02:42.000 So it's not a joke, this fighting game.
00:02:44.000 You get knocked out, you get knocked out badly, you die.
00:02:46.000 That's how it can go.
00:02:48.000 So I've seen five people die.
00:02:50.000 A lot of broken legs, a lot of fucked up faces, lots of bad cuts and stuff.
00:02:54.000 But yeah, it's war.
00:02:55.000 It's war for real.
00:02:56.000 You can die in there.
00:02:57.000 You've got to take it seriously.
00:02:58.000 It's not the sport you can have to do.
00:03:00.000 And that's why I haven't fought so much recently, it's because I'm so busy with other important things.
00:03:03.000 It used to be absolutely everything to me, and now it's not, because I'm putting millions in the bank.
00:03:09.000 So that's what it is.
00:03:10.000 Starting to regret that cup of tea joke there when you answered.
00:03:15.000 I'm good.
00:03:15.000 That was fun.
00:03:16.000 Here's a trivial one, something to lighten the mood.
00:03:20.000 What's your earliest memory?
00:03:24.000 My earliest memory.
00:03:27.000 One of my earliest memories was we used to have this little block.
00:03:33.000 I can't explain it, like a little octagon, and you had loads of different shapes, and the shape, and the octagon had the correct shaped holes in it.
00:03:40.000 So there'd be a triangle hole, a square hole, a star hole, and you had all the little pieces on the floor, and you have to put the star piece in the star hole of the octagon thing.
00:03:49.000 Mm hmm.
00:03:50.000 And I remember living in Germany because we were based in East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
00:03:55.000 My dad was working for the CIA there.
00:03:57.000 And I remember putting all the pieces in the star and the star.
00:04:03.000 I must have been less than two.
00:04:05.000 The triangle, the triangle, the square and the square.
00:04:07.000 I remember putting them all in and then giving a pack of raisins, the red packs of raisins.
00:04:11.000 Yeah, yeah, some made it.
00:04:12.000 And I remember my granddad coming over and then telling me to do it.
00:04:16.000 And I remember deliberately putting the wrong pieces in the wrong one, deliberately trying to make them offer me raisins before I did it.
00:04:23.000 And as soon as we got the raisins out, I completed it instantly.
00:04:26.000 I remember that.
00:04:26.000 Genuinely.
00:04:27.000 That was my genuine trickery back then.
00:04:28.000 I was like, where's the money at?
00:04:31.000 And also, you were naturally good at putting things in holes, as you've continued to do as a pastime.
00:04:37.000 Well, you know, I turned out to be a bit of an expert.
00:04:38.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:04:39.000 Mine was shitting myself, just in case you were wondering this.
00:04:43.000 Horrific.
00:04:45.000 Question four.
00:04:47.000 Question four.
