Transcript

Andrew, there's a couple of questions I want to ask you. Sure. We can start with some questions. Cool. What would you do if you had to start over today? That's a very good question. Do I start over as me or do I start over as Joe Schmo? And I'm only going to answer one of them. You can answer it. Joe Schmo or Andrew Tate? Joe Schmo. Joe Schmo. I think we live in an attention economy. I think that that's going to continue to be the case up into the future. I think that things have now changed and if you can manage to get attention, you can somehow monetize it.

If I wasn't the kind of person who was good at garnering attention or didn't want to get attention, then I would find somebody who is good at getting attention and I would align myself with them. And then I would either find a way to increase their monetization. Obviously being useful to them is one thing, but in my experience,

outside of of course me, everybody else who's good at getting attention is fucking lazy and they don't want to do anything else. So I would let them be the face and I would be the blood and guts underneath. And that's how I make a bunch of money. And you'll often see in the best business relationships, there's the face of the business, but the true business behind it are a bunch of people you don't know. And it's the same with everything. So if I was Joe Schmo, I'd find somebody who was the face and got a lot of attention and I'd sit down with them somehow and say, look, here's how you'd make this. This is what you should do.

- Busy, good, I'm glad you're busy. This is my percent, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, and I'd make it all come true. - You'd figure it out. At what point, Andrew, did you realize that you were famous?

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Um...

That's a good question. I don't know, I never really intended to be famous famous, but... But when did you realize that? You were like, "Oh, I'm famous!" One of the times it hit me in regards to how famous I was is when...

I was with Steven Seagal two weeks ago. Steven Seagal was here. OG. But two weeks ago you knew you were more famous. Of course I did. I'm saying one of the times it occurred to me how famous I was. Okay. I was with Steven Seagal two weeks ago. And by the way, Steven Seagal is a fucking hero.

- They say never meet your heroes? - You know him? - They say never meet your heroes? - Fucking G. - Meet Stephen. - He's a G. - Yeah. - Right? - I love Stephen's. - Ice cold. Anyway, he was saying, "Bro, I'd love you to take a picture "of my son, they're talking about you in school." I'm like, "Yeah, cool, whatever." I met Stephen's son, took the picture.

I heard they're talking about me in school. He goes, "Yeah, we did a whole class on you, and your effect on culture, etc." I said, "Oh, so where do you go to school?" He said, "Ulan Bataar, which is the capital of Mongolia." So in Mongolia, in school, they're doing classes on me. That was crazy. That was crazy. Somebody said, "How big is it?" If you do one more gay thing... No, no, no. How big is your bank account? That's how big is your bank account. I know. You think you're smart, Aiden.

You think you're smart? Do you actually think you're smart? A little bit. Do you believe, like, I'm smart? Do you know how many partners you've had in all, or is that too personal for you? I do know, but I don't think it's that important. Actually, no, I'll change it. I think as a man, sexual experience is very important. So how many bodies do you have now? Okay. I think as a woman that the number one thing that men value in women is innocence. I think innocence is very, very attractive. And it's not just about sex. As a man, when you find a woman, if you were to build your ideal woman from the ground up,

her things. She's never done, exactly. You want to show her things she's never done. For sure. In every room, not just sexually, in everything else, you want to be the first person to take her first class, first person to put her in a five-star hotel, first person to take her to a nice restaurant. Private jet. Yeah, you want to be the guy to show her the world. Of course. So, and that also includes...

sexually so you like the idea of a woman with less experience so you can show her things. A woman's like I know all of it. You're a bit like hmm. All of it? Okay. But I think as a man it's the opposite and I also think that women like men. I was going to say that.

yeah i think for a man like like you said we want innocent women but if a woman if you that's a woman she don't want a man that has never had sex of course you know what's actually interesting it's interesting they asked i don't know where i saw this it was a long time ago but i saw it was a survey they were asking virgin women if they want a virgin man and even a virgin woman said no wow you don't want a virgin because they want to be dominated right no it's going to be taught yeah they want to be taught they want man to guide them through the process and experience

very subtle ways, the reason women love scars on men, something has happened to him, it's

When I say it's not important, I take that back. As a man's sexual experience and sexual...

The fact that you've been around the block to a degree is actually very important.

Also, I'm not gonna say a number, 'cause a lot of dudes lie about the number, etc, etc, but... I had a webcam company and so it's extensive. Is there an estimate?

600 okay, but but I

I don't think that number is that important. It's not. And I also think the number of girls who... not just the sex is important. I think that you can learn a lot about women. It's not just sleeping with them. You need to have a whole bunch of girls you've just slept with. You need to have relationships.

You need to have that time, you got your heart broken, you need to let that one chick

who fucking did some shit, got away with some sly shit, so no other bitch can finesse you. And you get to a point in life, and truthfully, as a man, you hit your peak in your late 30s, mid 40s. That's when you're most attractive to women, when you're a lot older. Can I ask you a question? This is my first question. You've gotten your heart broken. Every man's had their heart broken. Of course, I agree. Every man's had their heart broken. You have to use it as a learning experience. You have to let it use it to fuel you. I've said this now. Any man who hasn't had their heart broken is lying.

There's people who have their heart broken and let it destroy them. And there's the men who have their heart broken, can't sleep. So they're in the gym three times a day. That's it. If you walk into the gym right now and find the fucking guys training hardest, he's probably lost his bitch. He's right. Not wrong. True or false. There's a reason he's doing it. Bro, I remember when I lost my bitch. Motivation. Motivation. You find a guy who's fucking going nuts.

Yeah, my girl left me. Bro, it's just terrible. It can make you great. You're right, because when I broke up my girl, you know, I hit the gym too. She obviously wasn't all that, G. I don't know who you were fucking, but. What? Look.

- Yo, that's crazy. - You can't tell the six pack's coming in? - Ant, what happened to me?

But no, but also... - You lost Helloway too. - I lost like a hundred pounds. - But what's actually truly interesting is, I think that

Unlike...

although I think women have this as well, women and men have this, I think that all life paths

to a degree are semi-similar. Yeah, we end up in different positions. Some are successful and some aren't, blah, blah, blah. But I think if you take the average man in the Western world

There's one or two or maybe three possible stories. We all start off with nothing. Most men are born with zero value. You can be born with rich parents and be a little bit boring for a while. Yeah. But you're born with basically no value. You fall in love with that bitch in school who wants to jock and not you or the older guy. And then you get your girl and she breaks your heart. And most men have had a pretty similar story. Me, you, you can name it all. Of course. But it's just how those events affect you and how you internalize them and how you use them to become who you are.

types of life experiences. I think we have, yeah, I think we have similar building blocks.

- Similar pieces of Lego and how we put ourselves together is unique. - What makes us us. - Completely, yeah. I appreciate that. - What's your end game goal life, Mr. Tate?

I think that

I don't think...

Although I think we're getting into a position that's worse than ever.

I think throughout all of human history

single man that's ever been alive, he's been living through a

in which he feels like the world is ending.

I'm sure the people who were alive during World War II felt like the world was ending. I'm sure about the people who were fighting off the Mongol hordes felt the world was ending.

I'm sure that in the 1700s when it became

legal to not wear a suit when you go outside. They probably thought this is

is massively detrimental to society, the world is ending. We've always felt that way. - We've always felt like the world's ending. - Yeah, we always felt like the world is ending and I think that

Basically, the best thing you can do is procreate and try and create people who replicate yourself and your values to the best of

ability.

So my end goal is to have 20 sons.

my name who thinks like me.

What if you have a daughter?

That's fantastic. Why would I not want to go? Just curious. You said 20 cents.

Yes, but...

I would love to have daughters, absolutely. But it's my sons that are going to carry my name and carry my legacy.

so obviously

You need both.

That's the end goal. The end goal is to recreate.

Bunch of tapes. What else is everything?

All right, next question here.

Do you believe that love is real?

completely

Completely and artly.

Everything I say, all the things I've just said which they're going to attack me for and call me a misogynist for and say I'm hateful for,

actually come from a place of love.

comes from a place of love because I think that women are happier if they act in a certain way, which is true to their national

biological imperatives and true to God.

I think that men treat women who act true to God better. I think that their relationships are better. I think the family is better. I think the children are raised better. I think society ends up better.

I think as a whole, all of it,

the whole world becomes a better place.

and it's all based on love. I truly and utterly believe in love between a man and a woman, but I'm not gonna love a girl who can't keep her legs closed. What about

What about unconditional love? Does that exist? No. It does for women. It doesn't exist for men.

- Why does mother love their sons unconditionally, right? - Women can be unconditionally loved by society as a whole. No matter how bad it is,

a thing women do if she's pretty.

Bro, a woman could go and kill 10 people, but if she was smoking hot and her mug shot came up, it would be all over Twitter.

Kill me anytime, babe. And the replies. They'd love her anyway. She's hot. That's it. Women can be unconditionally loved. Men are only loved for how useful we are.

The second you stop being useful as a man, you'll see how cruel this world is. When nobody looks at you and goes, "This man has a utility. This man is good for X."

this man can solve this problem.

The second you become a useless man, you'll see how cold and heartless this world is because

solitary fuck about men who can't fix problems.

- That's true. - That's why we exist. So unconditional love does not exist for men. It never has been, it never will.

Even your woman to a degree is going to love you.

And I'm not saying her love isn't pure.

I'm not saying her love is impure.

But a woman's love is still based on your ability

to fix her problems to a degree. If a woman comes to you and goes, I have this issue,

can't fix it. If that happens over and over and over and over again, she will fall out of love with you.

Someone else will fix it for you. Someone else will fix it.

So she's gonna love someone else.

Whereas,

I'll be honest, in my relationships, I don't go to women to solve my problems.

I go to them to be happy.

I want them to be happy, I want them to make me smile, I want them to give me affection,

I want to...

us to have fun together

I might want children.

Yeah, but I don't go, "Oh shit, I have this big fucking problem at work."

"Hey, can you help me?"

Never.

I don't go to them to fix my problems.

I fix all my own shit.

So it's a completely different paradigm. We're loved in completely different ways.

right?

Men love women

because

were idealistic in the idea of love.

Females are actually very, very realistic with their love. They're not romantic. Men are far more romantic than women are.

I'll give you an example now, bro. You ask any man, you can ask a full-grown man,

about his, you could say, listen, your ex-girlfriend just died.

Even if you haven't seen her for 15 years, you can be like, "Ah,

I loved her.

You find a fucking chick and say, "Your ex-boyfriend died and he's a dickhead anyway." They don't care! They don't care! It's true. It's true, bro. Women can be heartless. People don't...

and any G who's at the top of his game knows

Bro, there's been times even I have felt guilt.

There's been times I met a chick and da da da and we end up together whatever whatever, and sleeping together whatever whatever.

She's around my house and she's like, "Hey look,

like laughing at her ex

pouring his fucking heart out, bro. It's crazy. They're cunts.

They can be.

Not all, but sometimes. They can be. They can be. And I know men aren't perfect. I'm just saying there's a degree of heartlessness that women do possess. People pretend they don't, but they really do have it.

Amen.

- Okay, next question.

It's a good question right here. Is streaming considered a real job?

You're extremely fortunate.

Thank you.

You are.

You're extremely fortunate. Why am I fortunate?

You're extremely fortunate for a few reasons.

One, the idea, how old are you, 22? Yeah. Okay, the idea of a rich 22-year-old before the internet was known as,

outside of daddy's money.

There was before the internet and you were born poor or in a normal family.

Did you ever meet a 20 year old who made hundreds of thousands of dollars? Hell no. Fuck no.

People are getting richer, younger than ever before. - It's scary, right? - You're super fortunate.

Right?

So, and like I said, we live in an attention economy. - Is it a real job?

- Thank you.

The problem with it is

I will say it's a job because it is a commitment.

Thank you. It's not a real job. The actual true problem with streaming is that I don't think you learn anything from it.

So,

What's interesting in the world before, the world, let me tell you something.

The world before this garbage.

any job you were involved in.

there was a degree of learning.

I'll give you another example. Streaming is an example. Crypto is another example.

If you make a bunch of money streaming,

And let's imagine streaming disappeared overnight.

Right.

What could you take all the skills, all the lessons you've learned, all the talents you now have,

and apply your streaming skills to and make more money.

Please tell me.

.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going to go.

I know. I got one.

negotiating and managing and becoming an arguer and absolutely not because you're because you're streaming on the fucking internet

You don't understand anything about true negotiation of the

an arguer

You don't understand anything about the true negotiator. What did you have to say?

I was going to say like comedy.

Yeah, I was going to say acting. We need to react. Acting.

Acting, do you think acting is a real job? Yes. Okay.

Well, you're right. In this very

in this very fortunate bubble

of super unique

ideal dream jobs that every person on the planet would love to have.

There's not a man alive who doesn't want to be an actor. Not a man alive who doesn't want to be a streamer.

Can I tell you right now, all these kids want to be streamers now. All they do. Of course they do. Everyone's trying.

My point is that let's say you go and get a normal job, a sales job.

and then you lose that job. And then you can leave with lessons. Well, I learned how to manage a schedule. I learned how to look after my clients. - I see. - I learned how to

do sales meetings without being scared. I learned how to present. I learned how to dress correctly. I learned a firm handshake.

I learned. You learn things. I don't think streaming teaches you.

What about market yourself?

Marketing yourself to a degree is interesting. Yeah, that's the point of it. But also, I think that a lot of streamers now are marketing themselves just purely through

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

A lot of them are just doing dumb shit.

Thank you.

They don't even know exactly what they're doing. Well, they're just doing shit for shock factor, but it's not...

I know what I say is shocking, but I like to believe, not I like to believe, I know I believe what I say, and I also like to believe as a relatively positive

There are streamers and kids out there which are doing shit which is not good for anybody or even themselves. Just for shock factor.

- I agree with that. - Just being clowns.

They're just being clowns. But marking yourself is a point. But they still know how to grasp that crowd. That's true.

That's true.

But yeah, it is a real job. It's a job, but it's a very, very isolated job, bro.

it's not coal mining.

No.

It's harder.

The best men, or the people who are best at being men have gone through some shit.

And when you stream, you don't really go through very much.

You may think you do. Yes, you do. Well, I think I do.

Okay, you've been swatted. That's unfortunate. Yeah.

I've been hacked. I've been banned. Working high-level security has been through some shit.

You have?

Oh yeah. So it's different.

- I've been, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, for sure. No, he has been some shit. - Of course.

That's how you get there, that's how you survive.

Yeah.

So, Stefan.

that before by night.

Next question. What are your thoughts on vaping?

Well, I'm smoking a cigar right now, but I know what a cigar is.

Cigar and tobacco.

Tobacco has been around for a very long time. I know all the risks

I know it has nicotine in it, I know the good, I know the bad, etc. The reason I am anti-vaping is because nobody knows what's even in a fucking vape. And it's produced so cheaply somewhere in the Far East by people who don't give a single solitary shit about human rights of their own people, let alone the people of the West. For pennies!

Please explain to me what chemical...

combination can taste you don't know nobody will know bro bro

What chemicals need to be put together to taste like pineapple ice?

What?

Nobody knows. Can I say one thing though? You do hookah and it's flavored.

- Yeah, it's flavored tobacco. - With fruit. - Fruit on tobacco. - It's natural. - What's actually, no, what scares me, what scares me about vape,

is how accurate the flavors are.

Please understand the point. When it says pineapple ice,

and you taste it and you're like, wow, it does taste like pineapple ice. Or like blueberry mango smoothie. Yeah, or fucking cherry bomb. And you taste it and you're like, it tastes exactly like it's supposed to. Yeah. Wait.

How the fuck do you make chemicals taste like cherry bomb? Wait, this costs 79 cents from some factory in fucking Indonesia. Yeah. This cannot put, they have not considered how this damages my body to make it taste like this. So Andrew, I gave my friend $10,000 to stop smoking for a month. This is a true story, I swear. One of my closest friends. And I looked at this as spitting in my face. I'm gonna tell you this story.

Give him $10,000, stop smoking for a month. 31 days goes by, 32nd day he smokes. Look, it's like spitting in my face. I paid the $10,000, I'm a man of my word, I stuck to it. Spat on my face though.

What do you think about that?

Well, that was the deal. That's the deal you made.

so

What was he, vaping? Yeah, I just wanted to help him because vaping is a...

It's a crippling addiction. Let me tell you something about helping people. You can't help anyone else who wants to help you.

So this is another very key point people try and come to me all the time and say oh, I need help. No, they don't need

They want to try and externalize

all of the willpower because they have none of it themselves.

You would go, "Oh, I lack motivation." If you wanted to quit, you could quit.

You can't help people who don't want to help themselves.

People say this kind of shit all the time, like the motivation. "Oh, I don't have motivation to go to the gym."

If you don't have motivation,

to go and be strong.

Then stay weak and fuck off.

Like what do you want me to do? It's true.

You can't, you can, there's an age old adage, you can take, you can drag a horse to water, but you can't force it. - Force it to drink. - It's true. It's 100% true.

I really believe the universe is ultimately giving.

I've never seen anybody or any experience in my life

somebody has dedicated their all, tried their very best to something and not had it.

I've never seen somebody

Maybe correct me, right? You'll know even better than me. I've never seen somebody who eats right

trains twice a day like an animal, never misses a gym session,

diet on point, that's everything they're supposed to do, and not be strong.

I've never seen it. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. So when you meet a guy, I just can't get in shape because you're not trying. Something's wrong. Because you're not trying. You're not eating right. Something's wrong. You're not trying. Yeah. And if you actually want it, you do it.

So I don't buy any of this shit. Everyone goes, "Oh, I don't have motivation." If you don't have motivation to be better, then stay a loser. - That's what you wanna be. - And what's very interesting about the world is that there are no winners without losers.

I put myself through absolute hell to be everything I've ever wanted to be. So if someone wants to come along and say, I'm not prepared to go through what you've been through, Andrew, but I still want all the benefits. My answer to that is no, fuck you. I deserve them and you don't.

So no, then don't

I don't give a shit. If you don't want to, then don't do it. He doesn't want to quit, so fuck him.

For sure.

What do you think about smoking weed?

The reason I'm anti-weed, by the way, just I'll state this,

here on camera. I've never tried any narcotic in my life. I've never tried drugs. Weeds and narcotic?

Yeah. I've never tried anything. I've never, I know like caffeine and nicotine or drugs, you can get technical with it, but I've never tried any illegal narcotic. I've never tried weed. I've never tried a pill. I've never tried cocaine. I've never tried any of them.

And I'll state here,

if I was to try drugs,

it would definitely not be weed, because weed's the one I don't truly understand. Now I'm of course uneducated on the subject, because I've never tried it. But I don't see the point in doing a drug that makes you calm down.

I can get tired by myself. I can just work my ass off and go to the gym and get tired and go to bed. I can get tired.

If I was to take a drug, I want to at least get one that makes me superhuman. Yeah. Give me some meth or some shit. Yeah. Don't make me go to sleep. If you ever decide to do meth, we could do it together.

- No thanks, but. - Yeah. - If I was to ever do drugs, I wanna be like those crackheads which are bulletproof, like getting shot six times. - Yeah, they get up. - Yeah. - That's what I want. - They start dancing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I don't wanna be, take the weed, oh I'm tired bro. Like what the fuck? To me, of all drugs, it looks like the least appealing. - I don't understand it at all honestly. - Let me defend 'cause I used to smoke weed for two years straight, I'm gonna tell you what it did for me.

When you smoke weed,

It depends how you use it. You can use it as a tool. You can find motivation in it. You can find yourself in it. How can it move? I'm going to explain to you. It's spiritual. You can use it as spiritual too. Spiritual guidance. When you smoke weed and you're in your thoughts and you're thinking, you can find the best in yourself. You can find who you truly are.

Do you know what the ultimate baseline for spirituality is as a man? What?

survival

Thank you.

I'll tell you a spiritual experience.

Go have a fight with your security right here.

Get the living fuck kicked out of here. And try your very, very best to actually survive. That will teach you more about yourself, about grit, about determination, about who you truly are, about your spirituality, and any fucking stupid plan.

The reality of spirituality is a man is survival in the face of uncertain odds.

You want to find out about spirituality, walk into an MMA gym. You want to see what you're really made of, go fight in the UFC. That will teach you about spirituality, much more than some fucking drug. That's a cop out.

That's bullshit. I agree, it's a shortcut. It's not even a shortcut, it's a cop out. There's a reason all these people go and go, "I want to do ayahuasca to learn about myself. I want to see what I'm really made of." Well, see what you're really made of, go become something.

Oh, I don't want to do that, that's hard.

- So then what the fuck, I know what you're made of. I know what you're made of already, you're a bitch. - Do you know what the Native Americans used to do? They used to make this stuff called, I think it was, walk, right? Not like lean, they used to make this drink.

and you would drink it and you'd

hallucinate and they said that they would find themselves in that. They also used to train and ride horses and exterminate each other and engage in battles and wars and a bunch of other shit. I'm telling you if they did nothing but stream and take that shit they wouldn't have found anything. I agree. I agree with that part. I think the easiest way to find yourself is to become the ultimate version of yourself. Yeah.

Are you the best Aiden you could possibly be? Hell no. Okay, so there you go.

So you know what you need to do. I know what I need to do. But you're not going to do it because you don't really want to do it. I will do when I'm ready to do it.

Were you okay? I found a picture of you. Why would you not be ready to do it though? Because I'm not because I'm trying to better certain things and

right now in my life before I'm able to do your-- - But if you're trying to better certain things, that is ultimately becoming a better version of yourself. - It just takes years to become the best version of yourself.

Well, when I was 22, there's like...

I know you're gonna say you sent a picture of me when I was 22. I had glasses. I used to wear glasses. I had bad eyesight.

I may have looked like a dork or whatever. I was still fighting. I was still British. I mean, no. You still ripped.

- Even though he was light or white. - I was still dangerous. - Did you do LASIK?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it's not just about how you look. I'm saying about being the best possible version of yourself. - I know what you're saying. Just in general with everything, your whole life. Are you the best version of yourself, Andrew? - I try my very best to be as professional as possible. - But are you?

Can you be better?

I think I'm very close to the best possible version of myself. In fact, I think the last few years when you get a bit older, if you've worked hard enough in your early years, you allow yourself

the luxury of being slack.

What's interesting is I'll now

take a few days off here and there and consider myself lazy because I worked so hard when I was young. And I'm still working harder than even you are. I've seen, no, I want to say one thing for the camera.

When you're at dinner, when you're literally when I pulled up, you're just always on your lap, you're always on calls, you're always working.

So that's one thing I will vouch. Every time I've seen you, you're literally working. Yeah, people seem to think that you conquer the world easily. And you can if you outwork everybody. But there's endless work that needs to be done. There's endless work that could be done. Even for you now, there's work you could do.

You're doing like side missions.

I would say you beat the game, and I think you're doing side missions.

Thank you.

Perhaps.

but

What do you think is the best? My question for you now, what is the best version of Aiden?

Who is the best Aiden?

I need to have.

M's on M's on M's, hundreds of M's. I need to have

Live how you live.

go where I want to go, be free.

say what I want to say, and I would say, hit the gym, and be the best physical version of myself as possible.

good diet and um

That's really, you know? - Well that's a good start. - And building my mindset too, I think building my mind. But that comes with experience and that comes with aging as well. I say I think just experience overall.

The more experience in life, the more charm I go through, it builds me, it builds care. That's true, but you know the best way to build a strong mind as a man? What? Build a strong body. I agree. It's hard to have a strong mind without a strong body. You gotta work me out, bro. I've been waiting on you to get me in the gym. Yeah.

- What, how long does it take to get into a routine?

- A month?

Yeah, a month. Routine's about a month? It's about the discipline you'd learn. It's about the pain.

'Cause I'll tell you something.

He doesn't feel like training every day.

But he trains.

It's not about feeling like doing it.

This is the point I said to you on our first ever stream. You're like, what's the fastest way to get a six pack? I remember that. I know. I yelled at you and said, why are you asking me the fastest way? Why does it have to be quick? Why are you trying to find easy, shortcut, bullshit solutions to everything? Some things in life are just difficult. They're hard. And the reason that you want a six pack is because it has value. And the reason it has value is because people know it's hard to get.

If everybody knew you could get a six pack easily and quickly, then you wouldn't fucking want one. Do you have a six pack? I don't know. I don't think so. Not like a prop. Maybe a little bit. But that's not the point.

The point is, no, no, but it's not actually the point. - I know. - The point is, you have to do it when you don't feel like doing it. This is actually the bottom line of masculinity. The bottom line of masculinity, even not just in the gym, in nearly any realm of human endeavor is,

As a man, good men or capable men do things they don't feel like doing

Anyway, they just do them.

And if you look at men, do you think the men in Ukraine and Russia right now feel like dying in a fucking ditch? No. No. Do you think the men who train every single day feel like training every single day? No. No.

Do you think the CEO works his ass off 20 hours a day and doesn't see his children physically doing it? No, this is part of being a man. You have to just do what you don't feel like doing. The men who only do what they feel like doing aren't competitive.

Women do what they feel like doing.

Yeah, it's true.

That's it. Men do what they're supposed to do.

I don't feel like working every day, but there's work to do.

You gotta do it.

It's part of the responsibility, all right.

Last question.

Alright, last one. Let me give you a good one then.

I think I've asked this, but who is your biggest inspiration?

- Thank you.

That's a good part.

Have I asked you that? I don't think I have.

I don't know when I'm in.

One person in your life that inspired you.

or my father obviously I've talked about him in LA.

Of course my father shaped me to be the man I am.

- Should I ask you another question? - I'm trying to think of somebody who's alive, who inspires me.

you

But I don't...

I don't think you need really an external role model to that degree. I think every man intrinsically knows how to be the best version

themselves.

- Bro, if you were to play a video game and you had X amount of stuff,

stat points and you could allocate them. You'd know where to put them.

- Of course. - Strength, speed.

stamina, money, you know how to upgrade your character. You know what everyone does. - Exactly.

Everyone knows it.

- That's the best one to play? - Everyone knows what it is. - Just a little bit of the game. - You know how to upgrade your character. - You know how to upgrade your character. - You know how to do it. You gotta be able to apply it. - And that's the beautiful thing about being a man. - All right, and the last is my question. The last one, the last one. Am I a top G?

Absolutely not. No one needs it.

Thank you.

But can I reach the top G status? I'm not gonna sit here and insult you and say you couldn't ever be anything you want to be Aiden. But I will tell you that of course and you will self admit you're not trying your very best.

- So being a top G is someone who tries the very best, becoming the best version of himself. - It's a cool nickname that's stuck, but I think that every man out here should be waking up, genuinely looking in the mirror and saying, "How do I become the best version of myself?"

I think that's the point of being alive as a man, is to become the best possible version
