It's summer!
*clap*
I've been thinking and watching
and observing
The way people behave.
during the summer months in the last few years.
Thank you.
And something has fundamentally changed.
I'm answering old Super Chats over $10, by the way.
10 bucks.
And something has fundamentally changed and I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
until very recently.
It's summer.
and I'm at home
in my house.
And I'm working. I've been working all morning. I've got some meetings this evening.
This isn't really work, this is just me sharing my message with the world, but I'm doing productive things during the summer from my house.
I've been traveling a lot, mainly for work, and I think next I will go to my other house in Romania.
and do more work while I'm there.
The idea of a summer vacation...
has shifted
massively
from when I used to take summer vacations back in the day.
And I'll tell you what's changed first and foremost.
There was a time
When
We used to go to school.
and you used to get the summer off. Now, I was too poor for this.
I don't remember this. This didn't happen to me.
But I used to get back from school and people would tell me about the vacation they took and it was usually a week in Spain.
a week in Egypt, a week in Greece,
And they talk about this week they had with their family.
And that was their summer vacation. That meant that their parents, who worked all year round,
They didn't get the summers off like the students did and the teachers did.
would take their
Family on a one week vacation to somewhere cheap in Europe and have a few beers and enjoy seeing some different sights and enjoy probably the sunshine because you don't get sunshine in England most of the time.
And then I got old enough to start taking my own summer vacations.
So my first real
Summer vacations came from when I started working at Pret-a-Mange, the sandwich shop.
I tell people I worked at McDonald's, but that's actually a lie.
I never worked at McDonald's in my life. I did work in a fast food restaurant making sandwiches though.
So I tell people McDonald's because most people outside of the UK don't know exactly what Pret-a-Manger is. I've got one in New York, one in Hong Kong, one in Singapore, but I worked in fast food. I just used McDonald's as the colloquial slang.
And when I started making my money,
I used to look forward to my summer vacation.
And my summer vacation was, I'd go with Andrew to somewhere in Europe.
Slovakia
Egypt
And I'd go to these various places for a week, two weeks at a time, and then I'd come home and normal life would resume.
But that's not the way things work anymore.
And I tell you what's to blame.
Instagram is to blame.
Thank you.
*sniff*
*Sigh*
And
In the last few years,
I realized that when the summer is over,
You never ask people, oh, where did you go this summer?
And they say, oh, I went for a week in Greece, went for a week in Italy, went for a week in Spain. That's all dead now.
Because of Instagram...
The ultra wealthy people in the world, and I am now in that category,
Maybe I'm to blame a little bit, but this started before I started making money.
have access to
To every single woman in the world.
any friend they want to make in the world, and every single normal person also has visual access to their lives.
So it's made the idea that
of working 51 weeks a year,
To take seven days out and go on a vacation to Spain
Almost obsolete.
for anyone
above the lowest of the lowest classes.
Now,
different times of the year,
have different regions
assigned to them.
globally,
Right now,
that that place would be maybe
I mean, I'm in Dubai working.
Because my mindset hasn't changed.
It'd be maybe the south of France.
If you follow people on Instagram, especially attractive women, because attractive women don't have to work and pay for these vacations, they can just...
go wherever
the season
tells them to go.
And a lot of beautiful women who I know, loads who you probably follow too, are currently in the south of France having paid no money for their vacation.
That's fine.
I'm not going to judge them.
I don't know what they're doing for this vacation, but they might be doing nothing. They may just accept an invite.
I, for one,
have held vacations, yacht vacations in Croatia, trips to Italy where I've invited a bunch of random women.
And I haven't slept with them, not all of them, anyway, necessarily. And nothing illustrious or, um...
sinister has ever happened or gone down.
But,
If you're a man with the money to buy a few plane tickets and you invite beautiful women to the hot spots at the time it's time to be there,
they'll find an excuse to show up.
So they're there.
I feel like
Instagram has set such an unfair standard of living
on the normal man.
and the normal woman and the normal person.
that nobody ever asks like,
Where did you go on vacation this summer?
Right now, my phone is blowing up with
When are you coming to Saint-Tropez?
It's Sandra pay season right now. Okay, fine. It's Sandra pay season right now. But what after Sandra pay season?
Then it's Bodrum season. Then it's Dubai season again. Then it gets cold. Then it's the Bahamas season. Then it's St. Bart's at New Year's. Then it's Courcheval in January. There's a calendar.
that has been constructed, not necessarily by an individual, no one's planned this, but a consensus of minds...
all watching each other on the internet have constructed a calendar of where to be and at what time.
I'm being invited to the Hamptons.
in July.
And some of these places cross over each other.
at different times and dates.
but to stay on permanent vacation.
is now the goal.
The goal is no longer to just go somewhere, have a nice time and return to normal life. No.
Your life has to be
this jet setter lifestyle where you're always in the cool place at the cool time. But you know who isn't?
in the cool place at the cool time,
Not always.
Me.
because I've never quite understood it.
What you'll find is a lot of the people who finance this activity
a lot of the people buying all the plane tickets for everybody to come to Monaco.
and I'm not trying to make it sound
insidious or bad in any way.
But they're older men.
men 45, 50 plus,
are booking endless hotel rooms, endless flights, endless private jets, endless tables at nightclubs, and they're the ones financing this whole thing. Sure, there are some very rare exceptions. There are some celebrities, movie stars.
Even the old internet celebrity at these places
But all in all, it's men who've made millions of dollars. They've made their money. And they're basically retired, so they're now enjoying themselves.
What does that tell you?
about the pressure
on 20 to 25 year old men, even 30 year old men or 40 year old men.
Yeah.
to be able to provide this kind of lifestyle
to the people who want to associate with them.
You know,
I haven't taken a vacation.
since 2022.
What I do is...
I map my work out.
in a yearly calendar. And I think, where am I going to meet this guy, this guy, this guy, this girl, this man, this woman,
all these CEOs, politicians, various people who are around the world. And I kind of construct my own annual calendar.
And I sit there
And I book all my flights and I travel around. So I'm doing almost the same thing just on a different schedule.
But I will tell you without joking that because I fly private, because I stay in the best hotels, because I have security agents with me everywhere,
I'm spending.
So far this year,
three plus million dollars
On travel.
$3 million used to be a fortune. $3 million. If you had $3 million in the bank,
You were rich. You were set for life.
$3 million is around about the amount that you used to win on the United Kingdom's lottery back when I was young and I used to play the lottery.
Thank you.
Isn't it absurd?
to think.
that
Expectations.
of how you should be able to live have risen
so far beyond what used to be considered a good salary,
Because if you work in London, or New York, or even one of the hotspot cities, or Hong Kong,
But you're making $100,000, $150,000 a year, and you're working
48 weeks a year with four weeks off. You can't really go anywhere and you can't really do anything.
compared to all of these young women, it's women primarily because they get it for free,
who are just jetting around the world
to all these hotspots at any one time.
Thank you.
So,
My message today
to all the people who listen to me.
is you need to fuck this idea off.
for now.
I'm still fucking it off for now.
I'm going to fuck it off until I'm about 40. And then I'm going to be one of those guys flying a bunch of beautiful women on vacation...
for the rest of my life at all the various locations in the world,
because that's what rich people do.
To aspire to even get there.
is not only unrealistic,
for the young man.
It is...
absurd.
for the young man to think that he could ever, ever
achieve this in his twenties and fringe examples exist.
People let, you know, the matrix lets people break out.
to make you think that this is doable.
That young kid now, clavicular, he's going to some of the hot spots. Not all of them. He's not on the full calendar.
But he's right now in the south of France.
France sucks, by the way.
I wouldn't advise going there.
and he is a very unique example
of somebody at a very young age
who's able to adhere to this impossible schedule
of traveling, vacationing,
being in the right spot at the right time and being seen there.
And he has such a big platform.
All it's doing is exacerbating the problem.
where more young people see him doing this and think,
I should be able to do this
Maybe I can do this.
I don't really think that you can unless you are making three or four million bucks a year.
And I'm not telling you not to be ambitious.
what I'm telling you to do.
is to do what I do.
which is to do everything that's necessary. My ceiling,
of the level of success I want to achieve is probably much, much higher than a lot of you people listening.
Because I've already broken through so many ceilings myself.
but can't everyone just forget about it?
Can't everyone just fuck it off?
This whole it's Monaco season, it's Saint-Tropez season, it's Mykonos season.
Can't everyone just give up and work on themselves for a while and do it when they're older? I feel like taking your summer vacation in one of these hotspots and adhering to the calendar
for one or two weeks a year is a total waste of time.
If it's Mykonos season and you've got your three weeks paid vacation from work and you've got 20 grand in the bank.
I would say to you, do not go to Mykonos.
Leave Mykonos alone
Leave Sandra Pay alone, leave Baldrum alone.
Leave these places
to the people who've already made it and aspire to get there.
when you're old enough, wealthy enough, rich enough to just adhere to this calendar without thinking about your bank balance.
I feel like the calendar is kind of a trap.
It's a trap.
to the middle class. It's a trap to the young men who have started making money in the world. It's a trap to the young men with, let's say, 10, 20, 30, 50 grand in their bank, because it can very easily...
snap you into thinking that the people who are doing this are not as rich as they are.
And you think, "Well, I've got 50 grand. I can book a first class ticket to France.
I can go to Monaco for two weeks. And these locations and travel companies suck all of your money out of you.
And within no time, you're going to be back there in your apartment in New York or Miami or wherever else you live.
trying to think
how to get some money together. And what are you gonna do when you get that money together? You're gonna fall back into the trap. It's not like it's once a year.
If there was once a year one big event that everyone went to,
or one particular country everyone went to at one time of year, I would understand needing to get there. But this event and this country and this...
goings on
is happening 52 weeks a year.
around the clock.
I think you need to bring back
In your mind, at least, because we can't change the culture...
The old school idea of a summer vacation. You should take no more than $2,000
Take a week away with your friends.
Go and have some fun.
and get back to fucking work.
Hey, when I was, hey, I'm 22. When I started watching you guys many years ago, I was growing up in an atheist household making 13 bucks an hour.
I'm now a follower of Christ, making 50 to 20K per month. I'm so blessed.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Now, I imagine you're a student of the real world. I actually had a very cool experience earlier.
I'm not sure if they were students of the real world or not, but
I was at the pool in the Pagani building in Dubai, where I famously live. And I met two young German guys. And the first thing they said...
because there's no Airbnb in this building. I knew they were my neighbors, so I knew they at least had a few million to purchase an apartment.
below the penthouse of this building.
And the guy was up to me, he goes, "Hey man, I didn't want to disturb you earlier while you were training, but I just want to say,
Thank you so much. We owe so much to you and your brother.
And I was like,
How the fuck?
to these two German guys.
owe so much to me and Andrew. It's kind of cool.
But yeah, you should be taking my advice.
and you should fuck off this whole
permanent vacation digital nomad idea.
'Cause I don't know any fucking digital nomad who doesn't eventually give up and end up just backpacking in Thailand or South America. I don't know a single digital nomad
who is permanently on vacation in the hotspots. I feel like you need to be less nomadic and more digital.
and get down to fucking work.
My summer.
I think I'm going to.
go back to Romania for some time.
And I recently said this famously on the Rick Sanchez show when I was in Russia. He's a guy who runs a show on RT.
He's quite large, you can find clips of him online. Clips of me talking to him, certainly.
And he said, "Yeah, you're fine as long as you stay out of Romania." And I told him, "No, I'm fine even if I go to Romania."
I think with all the goings on and all the massive wins that Andrew and I have been
you know,
stacking up.
since.
2025 when I finally got my passport back.
I think the ridiculousness of what the Romanian state
are doing.
is becoming more and more evident.
There comes a time where
The attacks bother you, but then the attacks weaken.
And then they run out of ammo.
And at one point they're just kind of like tickling you and you're like, these people are fucking annoying. But everybody can see there's a personal vendetta and a personal grudge somewhere along the line.
coming from somewhere.
So now they're charging Andrew with hate speech violations. It's all very laughable.
And I'm hoping to pick up some hate speech violations myself because the more they do this, the more stupid they look.
So yes, I will be going back to Romania because I'm not afraid of lies and I'm not afraid of false persecutions and I'm not afraid of prosecutors and I'm not afraid of judges.
Some of the judges in my case have actually been very fair and very good.
But my point is when the truth is on your side, you don't fear these things. And there's a wonderful feeling.
that I get when I walk through
one of the affluent areas of Bucharest, maybe the city center even, and I just get swarmed with people coming up to me.
saying, Tristan, we love you. Andrew, we love you. Can we have a photo with you?
I'm sorry for what my government did to you.
And I'm like, well, the people are against me.
So I'm not going to turn my back on that country just yet. I think I am going to be going to Romania this summer.
Hey Tristan, I'm 23. I'm on vacation in Dubai right now.
What's a place you visit or what's your recommendation?
I don't go to the places people go.
I don't go to the places people go.
Because
I can't enjoy a peaceful evening.
There are some nights...
I'd suggest you to find your own places, but good luck.
You know, I recently posted something on X.
that I think people got the wrong idea about.
I'm going to read it.
It's still my pinned tweet.
I haven't taken it down.
I said, asking people you recognize for photos
is cringe if you're an adult
I said, "Imagine interrupting another full-grown man as he eats lunch with your phone in your hand, expecting him to halt his conversation and pose with you.
If you're above 16, this is gay. And people misunderstood this. A lot of people, even I guess fans of mine right underneath. Nah, fuck that. You're the one who got famous. If I see you, I'm going to ask for a photo.
Fine.
You could do what you like.
Yeah.
But the photo...
And what you need to understand is not going to do anything for you.
A photograph with me is not going to do anything for you in life. It's going to get you a temporary boost of likes on your Instagram or Snapchat page. And that is all it's going to do.
-
I much prefer people
who come up and make an introduction and shake my hand and hand me a business card.
saying, if you're interested in my service, I do this.
Because if you take a photo with me, you've immediately lost credibility.
as somebody who I think I should get to know.
Because I don't do that with people more famous than me.
Now, I understand if you're a kid, I'm not talking to all you youngsters in the world, under 16 is a bit mean, I guess under 18. If you're a young kid and you see a photo with me, I don't mind taking pictures with you. I don't even mind taking pictures with you as an adult.
Tweet was worded very specifically.
It said, "Interrupting me as I'm eating lunch."
because there's a time and a place for it.
If I'm standing at the bus stop,
waiting for my driver to pick me up because he picks me up from a bus stop and you asked me for a picture. I don't care who you are.
I will say yes, I'll smile, I'll take the picture, and I won't think anything negative of you.
But if I'm sitting down at a meeting,
talking to somebody and you don't know who that person is, I guarantee you they're an important person.
and you tap me on the shoulder,
And you say, "Hey, can I take a picture?" You've got your phone in your hand, and you're expecting me to stand up midway through lunch, and then after you do it, someone else is gonna do it two minutes later, five minutes later, two minutes after that.
No.
You can't ask a man who's eating lunch or a man who's with his family or a man who's with his kids if he'll pause what he's doing and take a picture. So to answer your question, I don't really go to the places everybody goes. Because when I go to the places where everybody goes and people have been drinking, people have been enjoying themselves, it's a big fucking photo line that forms...
after
a little bit of time, my two options are to go to the extremely high-end places
where
Everyone's got a bit of money and everyone's got a bit too much ego to ask me things.
or to just stay in my house. And I like staying in my house.
Hey Tristan, I'm from the SMCA campus. I just want to say that you and your brother have changed my life forever. I genuinely love you guys. God bless you guys.
Can you accept my friend request in the real world?
I will be accepting friend requests in the real world.
but major changes are coming.
in the upcoming weeks. And when those changes happen, I will be accepting friend requests.
I can't tell you any more about them.
Besides the fact that
It's going to be huge and it's going to be massive. And after that,
I'll be more active on the platform just as a general user.
because I'm not one of the professors, everyone knows this.
But I'll be more active on the platform in the chats, maybe just as a general user, because, you know, it's a.
It's going to be a public company, and then you want to sign them if they like. So I may be more active in the real world very soon.
If you are in the real world though,
and you haven't yet downloaded,
the Rumble wallet.
You're making a big mistake.
what Andrew and I are planning for the rest of the year,
heavily involves
not just the online educational platform, the real world, but also the Rumble wallet as well.
Rumble?
has always been the number one platform for free speech. And the American Supreme Court, I've said this before, has listed your money as your free speech. You can send money to which politicians you want because it's your free speech. You can spend your money on what you want as long as it's legal because it's your free speech. It is a declaration of expression when you spend or send money somewhere. If I donate money to a charity, that's my free speech in action. If I want to purchase a product because I think it's good, that is my free speech in action.
Thank you.
So as the number one arbiter in
with...
withholder and champion of free speech. You can't trust any wallet like you could trust Rumble.
They are not going to fuck with you. They're not going to freeze your funds. They're not going to steal your money.
So I'm a big user of the Rumble wallet.
and I'm planning something epic and upcoming,
for everybody who is both inside the real world and or a user
of the rumble wallet you're going to see more details about this coming up on twitter very soon
Got one more super chat.
How would you define actual hard work, as people think they're working hard, but they aren't. I want to avoid this trap.
Yeah.
You have to try and search for light at the end of the tunnel with whatever you're doing. Laying bricks is hard work, technically.
But where's the big payoff? What are you stacking besides BRICS?
Well, you're making your 11 pounds an hour,
Next hour you're going to make £11. By the end of the day you're going to make £88.
By the end of the week, you're going to make 88 times 5.
And...
There's no light at the end of the tunnel.
Hard work, I've always defined it.
is when I feel I'm stacking something up. I don't need to make money today.
I don't need to make money tomorrow. It's what I tell the students inside the real world. But I need to see...
me building something up,
that's going to crescendo and crash in a big wave of money.
Now, I first ever had this feeling in my telephone sales jobs,
because you'd call, okay, this person is a little bit interested. You write out the proposal you put on your board. This person's a bit interested. This person's not interested. They are interested. They're a bit interested. That one's a deal. That one's pay me money. A bit interested, a bit interested, a bit interested. When I was on the phone,
10 hours a day, 5 days a week.
building up all these proposals, I didn't make any money in my first month.
or very little.
I made very little money my first two months, but by month four and month five,
I was killing it. Money was flowing in because all of these potential deals were dropping in. What you need to do is you need to look at your line of work.
in whatever it is that you do,
and you need to see that you're building up potential,
for something bigger to happen.
And if you spend all day
10 hours on your laptop, working on whatever it is you're working on.
and you think...
There's no way this could ever turn into money one day.
then you're not working hard.
That's what you need to do.
Right, I've got a meeting with Andrew coming up. I've got a busy day. I just thought I'd come on here and bless you.
and tell you guys to
not try to stay on permanent vacation all year.
Rumble wallet, real world.
I'll be posting something about this on Twitter in the upcoming weeks.
God bless.
We'll be right back.
