00:00:00.000 Greetings, truvens. Before I delve into today's topic, I would like to ask you three questions
00:00:24.400 to which you must answer truthfully in comment section below. First of all, how is it that mighty
00:00:34.240 gods die, yet the golden one stands incorruptible? Second question, if you got an Uruk-hai warrior
00:00:44.480 for every time you have admired my chest, how many Uruk-hai warriors would you have?
00:00:52.800 That's fucking sick. That's a lot, that's a big army, could take Rohan with that army actually.
00:01:11.840 The third question, truvens, is the following.
00:01:22.800 You see, I tricked you into that. I tricked you all into believing that there was actually
00:01:28.960 a third question, but it was not. It was a surprise flex. The best flex.
00:01:34.080 All that said, let's delve into today's actual topic. What do I think of Elliot Holtz? First of all,
00:01:48.880 welcome back, Elliot Holtz. He has returned from his absence from YouTube fitness and philosophy.
00:01:55.920 Yeah, I'm just gonna tell it straight to you. I cannot have anything but massive respect for the man.
00:02:04.160 I would lie if I said I don't respect him massively. Simple as that. Like, first of all, as a YouTube
00:02:12.000 guy, a YouTuber, I'm at 10,000 now. He's taking tremendous fucking work and I'm proud of that.
00:02:20.720 He needs over one million. Like, that's not just something you do like that. It takes
00:02:26.000 a lot of effort, a lot of self-improvement to do that. In other aspects, you can get really big with
00:02:34.800 less effort, but YouTube, it's so many different factors that you have to take into account. If you
00:02:40.400 reach one million subscribers, you have fucking earned my respect. And then you say like, oh,
00:02:46.400 but PewDiePie also has that. Yeah, well, he has worked his fucking ass off as well. He does not cater to
00:02:51.520 my true friends and I don't really watch his videos either, but still a tremendous amount of work.
00:02:56.800 Same for Eli Tolls. Now, the thang here. Last May, he and our main true friend,
00:03:06.080 the Trap Lord, aka LG Intensity, had a little internet battle, as it were, where I backed up LG Intensity.
00:03:16.640 Now, LG Intensity obviously can be a bit of a douchebag sometimes, but he's our douchebag
00:03:21.360 true friends. He's our guy. And I mean, he's only, uh, he's only calling people out on bro signs
00:03:26.720 and when people are trying to sell stupid shit and are legit dangerous to their following. So I say
00:03:33.200 Eli Tolls does a fucking wonderful job. Like, definitely, I do. More people should watch his
00:03:38.640 videos where he calls out stupid fucking shit. That's a fucking service to society, in all honesty.
00:03:45.440 Now, the thang with Elliot Tolls is why I backed, uh, LG Intensity there, is that there's a fine line
00:03:52.480 between philosophy and bodybuilding. A lot of people felt that Elliot Tolls went too far away from the
00:03:59.360 legit bodybuilding advice. And I mean, I can do this once in a while as well. So I can relate to
00:04:06.240 Elliot Tolls, but at the same time, I see where everyone else is coming from as well.
00:04:09.920 And what happened last May was that Elliot Tolls was out on deep waters. And in those deep waters,
00:04:17.680 the LG Intensity shark came up and grabbed him and, you know, made short work of his bro signs.
00:04:24.240 And when you tend to get too philosophical, too bro-scientistic, you open yourself up to criticism.
00:04:32.800 And if you have one million subscribers, you need to give legit advice. Because everyone can't take
00:04:38.640 everything you say metaphorically either. And I mean, I could be targeted by this as well. So
00:04:43.280 I can just encourage everyone to, like, see the difference between, like, factual advice.
00:04:49.600 So if you ask- I'm gonna take an example here. If you ask me how to get massive legs,
00:04:54.000 there are two answers to this question. Yes, you have to
00:04:57.440 go into the gym and train squats at least two times a week. That I can give you. But it's not
00:05:02.880 the whole truth. There's a lot of mental things that need to be in place as well to get you to be
00:05:08.960 the kind of guy who can go into the gym and perform, you know, two times a week heavy for year in, year
00:05:15.040 out. And if you focus too much on either aspect, it gets dishonest. And what Elliot Tolls has perhaps
00:05:21.680 done a bit is go to the other extreme and just focus on the philosophy when you actually need
00:05:27.840 scientific advice as well. But then with the whole breathe into your balls thing, like, that's
00:05:33.520 metaphorical. I think everyone realized that you can't breathe into your balls. But you have to
00:05:39.520 realize when to take the metaphoric advice and when to see when you need science. So it's that thin
00:05:45.360 fucking line. And that's what happened there. But to answer the question, yeah, I enjoy his videos.
00:05:53.920 I don't agree with everything he says, but you don't have to do it. You can still enjoy his videos
00:05:58.400 and respect him as a man. So if I look at one of his videos, I'll be like, okay, cool,
00:06:03.600 I'm gonna apply this to my mindset, or I'm gonna analyze this mindset, or I'm gonna
00:06:10.240 apply this to this situation, you know, expand my own mind via his expanded mind.
00:06:16.800 So yeah, I think he's a great guy. And then he obviously, you know, pushes on this whole
00:06:22.480 the best version, the strongest version of yourself. Love it, absolutely fucking love it. That's exactly
00:06:28.080 what this is about also. So with all those different things said, I, yeah, I have nothing but respect for
00:06:35.040 him. I wish him, um, very welcome back to the, to the YouTube fitness, or YouTube. But then again,
00:06:45.040 like if, if L-Intensity decides to call him out again, I'll, um, I'll stand true by our true friend,
00:06:51.520 Trap Master. And who am I? That's a secret, I'll never tell. X-X-O. Boom!
