- [0:08](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=8) - People often ask me, Tate,
- [0:10](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=10) You are the best human being that's ever walked on the face of the planet. You have it all. You're strong and tall and sexy and smart and good looking and rich.
- [0:17](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=17) But if you had to choose,
- [0:18](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=18) Would you choose between smart or strong?
- [0:21](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=21) And obviously we continue to talk for a further few hours about how I have everything.
- [0:27](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=27) Like, people hate the fact when I just say I won the genetic lottery.
- [0:31](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=31) I'm not trying to rub it in your face or nothing, and I'm not trying to be arrogant. I'm just pointing out the facts.
- [0:37](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=37) My father was a chess grandmaster. I have a genius IQ. I'm six foot four. I'm a lean, mean killing machine. I've proved my athletic genetics by becoming a kickboxing world champion.
- [0:48](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=48) I've won the lottery genetically.
- [0:51](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=51) Like, who else do you see walking around here with a genius IQ and fucking...
- [0:55](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=55) muscles like mine. I don't take steroids, I don't take creatine, I don't take protein powders, I don't do nothing.
- [1:01](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=61) Just muscle just falls from the sky.
- [1:04](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=64) I've won the genetic lottery. I'm a fucking G.
- [1:06](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=66) And if you want to deny that, you're a hater. Because everyone can sit here and go, yeah, Tate wins your net glory. Yes, Tate's one of them lucky motherfuckers. He won the lottery.
- [1:13](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=73) Anyway,
- [1:14](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=74) What was I talking about? Oh, yeah, if I had to choose between smart and strong.
- [1:19](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=79) Obviously I've got it all, we just discussed that. And in the scenario I've just given you, which happens at least every day, I discuss for two hours with the person how I have it all, and they agree because I do.
- [1:27](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=87) But if I had to choose, the answer is simple.
- [1:29](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=89) I would choose strong.
- [1:32](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=92) See, smart people have this idea that once you're smart, you don't need to be strong anymore. I know a bunch of smart dudes.
- [1:39](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=99) Oh yeah, but I have an engineering degree.
- [1:44](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=104) I will fuck you up.
- [1:47](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=107) and some dude without an engineering degree will come down the road
- [1:50](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=110) And he'll fuck you up.
- [1:53](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=113) The reality of the human condition has always been violence and the capability for violence.
- [1:57](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=117) It doesn't matter what you think you have.
- [1:59](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=119) if you're gonna get bused up by some fucking third world savage.
- [2:03](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=123) The reason strong is more important than smart is because you can't be smart if you're fucking dead.
- [2:07](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=127) You can't be smart if you're killed or murdered.
- [2:10](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=130) And you're also not smart if you cannot enforce your opinion.
- [2:13](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=133) I'll give you an example.
- [2:15](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=135) You're smart, I'm stupid.
- [2:16](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=136) We decide to argue. You say two plus two is four, I say two plus two is five.
- [2:20](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=140) You continue to say it's four, I continue to say it's five, until I'm enraged.
- [2:23](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=143) Now that I'm enraged, I've decided to rip your arms from your body and fuck your girlfriend.
- [2:28](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=148) You say, "No, it's still four. I destroy you."
- [2:31](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=151) Left hook, your chin snaps, your head hits the floor and you die. I fuck your girlfriend, she gets pregnant with my kid. Not your smart kid, my stupid strong kid.
- [2:39](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=159) Who was right?
- [2:42](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=162) Seriously, who was right about two plus two?
- [2:45](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=165) Because you're dead.
- [2:46](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=166) And if anyone comes along and says to me, what happened? I say, I told this motherfucker two plus two was five. He didn't listen. And they're like, oh, well, obviously it is because his ass is dead.
- [2:54](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=174) Strong always trumps smart. And if you're a smart person, the most intelligent thing you can do is get strong.
- [3:01](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=181) When I was a kid and I became the state chess champion aged five in the under 11s,
- [3:05](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=185) In Indiana, the youngest person to ever win it ever, on my route to become a Grand Master, which got derailed because I became a kickboxing world champion, blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, when I won, my dad said, "You have to take a month away from chess."
- [3:15](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=195) "I just won the championship." He goes, "You gotta take a month's championship." He's like, "Why?" He goes, "Because you're not gonna be a fucking geek."
- [3:20](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=200) You're gonna play chess, you're gonna be like me, you're also gonna be a monster.
- [3:24](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=204) chess playing monsters not chess oh i play chess
- [3:28](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=208) I saw some fucking kid in the newspaper the other day. He can recite pi to 200 decimals.
- [3:33](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=213) That's nice. But you look like a geek. So who gives a fuck? Because you ain't going to get laid. You're going to let the club start reciting pie to a hoe?
- [3:41](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=221) That's the worst game I've ever seen.
- [3:44](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=224) You cannot just go through life, well, I'm a smart guy. It ain't enough. Because there's strong brettas out here who don't give a fuck how smart you are. They'll smash your face in.
- [3:52](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=232) You need to be a warrior scholar. You need to have it all.
- [3:55](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=235) And being strong, if you had to choose, being strong is more important anyway, because being smart ain't going to save you. I know you're sitting there going, "Well, if I'm smart, I can lock my doors."
- [4:03](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=243) I can get a gun, eh.
- [4:06](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=246) You sound like a dork. Smart does not trump strong. Not on the individualistic basis. Obviously a smart society can be a strong society because you can build laser weapons and shit. I'm talking about on an individualistic basis. If I had to choose if I was smart or strong, I would choose strong. Lucky for me,
- [4:33](https://www.wordtoclip.com/v/457ee38f-303a-4afe-ba47-a67c9bc096fe?t=273) I've got it all.
