We don't need Facebook (The Matrix's wh*re) shutting us down!
Today we cover the recent Andrew Tate saga: a man who got so mad at Greta Thunberg he posted a two-minute video on twitter about how he wasnt owned and then immediately got arrested for sex trafficking. He claims that agents of "The Matrix" were sent to silence him, but we look at his self-help dating university(?) where he brags about doing stuff that sounds a lot like sex trafficking. We enter a Facebook group of fans accusing Greta of doxxing him and dissecting the hand signals in his arrest video, And finally we discuss how the outrage over Epstein and the moral panic around "groomers" doesnt apply to a man who gives advice on how to do just this.

I watched one video where the guy was like, I know in the beginning you guys can see the glare off my glasses.
And I was like, wow, what?
That is a thing?
Shit.
Because like, if I see that now it's gone.
Now it's gone because I'm not looking right at it.
You know?
Just got to get periphery training.
Is that like waist training?
You bind your eyes to the left?
Yeah, exactly.
So the glare on your glasses doesn't shine through?
See, it's hard to remember because what you do is you put some lime on the left side of your left eyeball and also the left side of your right eyeball.
You're going to feel like you're doing it wrong.
Nose on one side, ear on the other side.
Very important.
Listener, if you know how to stop the glare in Tony's glasses from the computer screen, write in.
MinionDeathCold at gmail.com.
Yeah, Lasik.
Stop wearing glasses, you ancient person.
Yeah, so I found out some horrible news about my girlfriend recently.
Oh, no, no.
My lovely girlfriend, or so I thought, because we were going to go see Avatar the Way of Water.
And she's like, oh, I can't because I can't wear contacts while I watch 3D.
And then if I try to watch it without my glasses, it hurts my it hurts my head and gives me a headache.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, so... I no longer have a girlfriend.
That's unfortunate.
No, I'm just kidding.
But I mean, but the movie...
You know what sucks?
I hope they hear this.
But I didn't go see the movie, because my friend was supposed to come to town, and I was like, hey, we'll go see Avatar together.
And then they didn't come, and so I still haven't seen Avatar.
Well, it's still in theaters.
Oh, I gotta go.
I gotta go to the big screen.
I wanna do the whole IMAX 3D.
I wanna do the whole thing.
I mean, come on, I smoke weed.
What's the point of smoking weed if you're not gonna go see Avatar IMAX 3D?
Yeah, what if one of those guys smoked weed?
That would be crazy.
One of the Na'vi?
Yeah, not just the dreadlocked white kid because we know he smokes weed.
Yeah, not just Spider.
Yeah.
I think it's so funny they included a guy appropriating Na'vi culture in the movie itself.
That's amazing.
They were like, James Cameron was like, listen, I know there's going to be a critique of appropriation in this movie, but you're, you're aiming at the wrong person.
It's this guy.
It's Spider over here.
He's, he literally, he, he does blue face, Tony.
I forgot to tell you this.
Oh you didn't tell me that!
Will Spider does blue face?
Spider does, he wants to be a Na'vi so bad he does blue face.
That's, that's, that's sad.
It's sad really.
In the beginning, when they're introducing all the characters, like one of the first lines that is in the movie is him putting blue paint on his body and saying, oh it makes me run faster.
Oh wow, wow.
You can't paint fast twitch muscles on you, bro.
That's not how that works.
And I think it's great.
I think the Navi response is great, where they make fun of him and they roll their eyes and then they still like, all right, come on, let's go.
Come on, little buddy.
Like, you know, they know it's embarrassing, but they know it's cringe, but they love him anyway.
And I think that's what James Cameron wants the audience to feel about him.
It's okay, little buddy.
That's us talking to Jim Cameron.
We understand.
We understand why you're doing this.
You're just quirky.
Yeah.
You just grew up around a lot of aliens.
It's okay.
Yeah, good movie though.
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today.
So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when the stormed deserts fall there in Barbados.
Stay tuned.
Alright, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we're Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
The Matrix is responsible.
Again.
We're documenting it.
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to the show this week.
If the show at all sounds weird or different than normal, it's because everything is different now.
But what I mean is I got a new computer for the first time in seven years.
I was like, hey, maybe if we're trying to stream, I should get like a more powerful machine.
And I have the nicest computer that I've had in seven years and just nothing works now.
My interface doesn't work.
The software that I paid a license for, the recording software, Reason.
I bought a Reason, you know, whatever, Edition 6, I think, and then I paid to upgrade it to 8.
And that was back in 2015, probably, when I got that laptop.
And then I can't get any new version of Reason without paying $200.
It sucks, man.
It's like you didn't realize it, but 2013 was going to be your Y2K.
We had no idea.
Sorry, 2023 is going to be your Y2K.
We just had no idea it was going to happen that way.
Yeah, so we're working through it.
There's so many more details to how big of a problem this has been, but I don't want to bore the listeners.
So we're working on it.
We hope to see you this Saturday.
Thanks for everybody for tuning in, in general.
Wow, sad news.
Sad news in Romania this week as a guy who brags about sexual assault and brags about brainwashing women got arrested for sexual assault and brainwashing women into specifically trafficking them to a Romanian sex cam operation.
Wow, who'd have thought he got caught for the thing he laid out how to do?
Like, it only took a bunch of virality in a couple years, but it happened.
Yeah, let me read from his website.
Why am I an expert on all male-female interactions?
I've been running a webcam studio for this is so this is from his like Program his like alpha male program website.
I guess this is how you escape the matrix The top is it called Top G University or what?
Is that what it's called?
They all call each other Top G's I don't I don't know what the name of the university is though It should be.
It should be.
But this is from this is him bragging about himself.
I've been running a webcam studio for nearly a decade.
I've had over 75 girls work for me and my business model is different than 99% of webcam studio owners.
Over 50% of my employees were actually my girlfriend at the time and of all my girlfriends, none were in the adult entertainment industry before they met me.
Weird flex, dude.
Weird flex.
He's also on record, you know, loving to date 18 and 19 year olds.
So essentially what he's told us is that he likes dating extremely young women who are like barely women at all.
Yeah.
And let's say grooming them into a life of sex work.
Hmm.
Interesting.
What he meant by is they never worked in the industry and they also just never also had a job before then.
It was their first job.
Man, that sucks so bad.
Yeah, this is the kind of stuff he brags about.
My job was to get women to fall in love with me.
Literally, that was my job.
My job was to meet a girl, go on a few dates, sleep with her, test if she's quality, get her to fall in love with me to where she'd do anything I say.
And then get her on webcam so we could become rich together.
Hmm.
Whether you agree or disagree with what I did, their loyalty, submission and love for me doesn't matter.
You cannot reject the results.
And the results are simple.
My girlfriends would do more for me than 99.9% of men's wives would do for them.
Yeah.
Real quick, real quick.
So just in case people are confused, let me read a little snippet from a website that describes types of human trafficking.
This is called Lover Boy, Lover Boy Tactic.
Traditionally, a lover boy should use his young vulnerable girls and boys over a lengthy period of time in order to exploit them sexually later on.
This practice is being used less and less nowadays.
Lover boys resort more quickly and frequently to threatening their victims using blackmail or violence.
So he's saying he used to seduce them by having him fall in love with them, and then this is where the lover boy stuff starts.
Which he does go on to talk about later on.
He's like, if you don't listen, you just hit him.
Which is fucking crazy.
So he's out here writing a book, an educational thing about the laws he's breaking.
Like, laying it all out there.
Yeah, it's like filming this crime spree was the best idea we ever had, but it's, you know, his venue is the internet, so he's just been telling the world that he's a sex trafficker for his whole career, at least, in this avenue.
Yeah, there's videos of him, uh, quote, consensually beating his girlfriends.
Uh, one of those videos is ends with her locking herself in a room and him banging on the door saying you can't stay in there forever.
Jesus.
Which, I mean, if you, you know, if you, if you get off on rough play or whatever, that's one thing.
But when somebody's trying to put a door between themselves and you, I don't know, is, does the fantasy run that deep?
I don't know.
It's a bit different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like this guy, this guy shouldn't, shouldn't even like have the opportunity to get arrested.
Like someone should have caught him slipping in general.
Yeah.
You know, it's just, it's wild that it took this.
So this incident, him finally, The Matrix finally descending on Andrew Tate in his Romanian villa, wherever he lives over there, started because he was arguing with Greta Thunberg on Twitter, which I mean, hey, who hasn't been there?
Quote tweeting sexual innuendo about Greta Thunberg on Twitter.
I mean, some of our faves, some of the Blue Star Boys, you know, notably saying awful things about that poor team.
Yeah, some of our faves may be implicated in sexually harassing Greta Thunberg online.
So, I don't remember, I don't know if this is how it started, but he just tagged her.
He was like, hey Greta Thunberg, look at my cars, does this trigger you?
Yeah.
Because this whole thing is like having cars and hating women.
That's like his entire persona.
That's really it.
He saw a shirt that says that.
Loving cars, hating women.
Yeah, so he's like, hey, did you see my cars?
These emit carbon.
It's a carbon footprint here.
He says, please provide your email address so I can send a complete list, blah, blah, blah.
Greta quote tweets him with, yes, please do enlighten me.
Email me at smalldickenergy at getalife.com.
Yeah.
Which is so funny because this is just a 90s joke.
Yeah, this is the best.
This is like peak juvenile dunk.
And you know, it's fine.
It's a good one.
It's all peak juvenile dunk.
That's totally the joke, you know?
Well, it's fine, but it is a very like... It's a fucking Dennis Leary joke.
Yeah.
It's like, why don't you call up 1-800-who-gives-a-fuck about-your-stupid-cars.com?
Yeah, yeah.
Tell him, send it there.
You probably, you know, would give the finger as you do it.
But it's, it's, it's funny because it's like, you know, instead now you're getting ratioed with it.
Uh, yeah, so it is funny.
It is funny that she did, like, one of the easiest, most cliche dunks.
But, again, if we're talking about energy level here, I mean, Andrew Tate, he did a 1, 2, because I'm counting line breaks here.
He did a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 line tweet at her.
And she was just like, fuck you dot biz.
Out of nowhere he did it.
And she was just like, nah, fuck that.
Yeah, exactly.
So good.
So good.
And so, you know, I mean, I mean, so, so what I'm saying is, you know, it's, it's, I don't know, we're, we're feeling a weird balance in like masculine energy here in, in Dom, Dom energy.
It's, it's interesting.
But yeah, sorry, what were you gonna say?
Oh, I mean, like I said, just his original tweet was so stupid anyways.
I mean, not, not to be, not to like car guy out on it or whatever, but he was just like trying to list expensive sounding big engine cars.
Like nobody would ever have two Ferrari 812s.
Like no one would do that.
Cause it's like, no one wants it.
Like he just looked big engine Ferrari up.
That's like a front engine Ferrari.
Like no one wants a front engine Ferrari.
And you don't get two of that car.
Why would you get two of that car?
It makes no sense.
And Ferrari actually wouldn't do this because Ferrari actually has a really weird thing where they really monitor who they sell things to and they would literally not let you buy the two of the same car like that.
They won't allow it.
Like, it's just a dumb lie.
It's an easily caught, stupid lie.
I don't know, the guy, you're asking, like, who would buy two Ferraris, two, what, $300,000 Ferraris or whatever?
Who would buy two of the same one?
The answer is a guy I would take advice from.
The guy, a guy that I would want to teach me lessons about life.
The guy who has two of the exact same Ferrari.
It's funny because like that's the kind of thing they were if you were to go to like the you know because that kind of car and that kind of consumerism is super elitist if you were to go to that like the Ferrari club and be like hey boys uh you know nice cars did you notice my 2812s and they would be like what the fuck like they would they would like laugh at him like why would you do that you're like not cool and it's just it's just so funny because like He went out of his way to look less cool.
He could have just said, two Ferraris.
If you went to a rich WASP neighborhood in Maine or something like that and said, hey, look at this hip-hop star's jewelry.
Look at this.
And they would say, ew, that's tacky.
That's beneath us.
And that's what Andrew Tate is to the millionaire Ferrari owner community.
You might think it's gaudy or it's too showy, but sometimes a new art form springs up.
They're for sure like flood cars.
Flood cars?
Like he got them in a flood?
Yeah, there's like people buy like supercars after floods and they buy them for like a quarter of the price, but they don't actually work.
Yeah.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
Well, then respect those.
That's like history now, though.
That's part of part of American history.
They're relics.
Uh, so, uh, yeah, she did this.
She said, hey, you got a small peepee.
Bye.
And then his response was a two minute long video.
Video, like produced video, like extras in the video.
Well, let's, let's listen to it.
Where is it?
God, God damn it.
Okay, so he's in like a red, crushed velvet, looks like smoking jacket with gold sleeves.
Supposed to look like a boxing jacket or something.
But it is like old lower print.
It's like old lower print.
It's still tackier than just a smoking jacket.
I thought it was velvet from like the... because it's barely like shadow printing on it.
Oh, it's supposed to be Versace.
I don't know.
Cool, man.
And he's smoking a cigar and he's in a, you know, a leather chair and there's wood paneling on the wall behind him and he's at a desk.
Yeah, smoking the cigar in his kickboxing jacket or something.
It's a Versace kickboxing jacket.
Yeah.
Release some greenhouse gases.
Winks at the camera.
I'm obviously a stranger to online controversy.
It's not something I often do.
First thing I noticed, so I haven't ever watched a video from Andrew Tate.
First thing I noticed was what the fuck accent is he doing?
It's that's it.
I don't know what it is.
So I'll tell you what it is.
He's like got dual citizenship.
He's like British and American.
And so he's doing and like he goes into British every now and then.
It sounds so funny.
It sounds so fake.
Yeah, it sounds really fake.
You've heard him say Bugatti, right?
No, how does he say it?
Bugatti?
Bugatti?
It's so good.
It's awful.
He does have that Bugatti.
That is the one in the pictures.
I believe he has that one.
I'm obviously a stranger to online controversy.
It's not something I often do.
But now the mainstream press is commenting on the fact that I was informed.
Like the way he talks it just seems like he puts so much effort into everything he's like his bluster he really means it.
It sounds like he's making his mouth bigger as he talks to try and get some extra resonance in it.
But there's also a little bit of like a little bit of like musketeer to it.
What's the word I'm looking for?
Yeah like like swashbuckling.
Yeah, there's a little bit of like, yeah, a little bit of that in there and it just sounds so... no one talks that way.
Yeah, it's so corny.
I think this is how he thinks professors talk because he runs Top G University.
This is how academia speaks.
But now, the mainstream press is commenting on the fact that... The mainstream press is commenting on the fact...
I was informing Greta that my very extensive car collection with internal combustion engines which run on dead dinosaurs have an enormous emission profile.
Okay, so he took 30 seconds to explain his first tweet.
Alright, so that's where we're at in this video.
By telling me her own email address.
Greta's email address is, I have small dick energy.
Why would that be your own email address?
Strange.
By your logic, it's your email address technically, which he's not wrong.
Strange.
He's not wrong, but like the way you respond to that is you just reply with that's your email address, you know, either a question or just a statement.
and that's it that's all you have to do and it's way funnier and you don't look like this you don't look like a guy who put on a smoking Versace smoking jacket to explain his to explain tweets and then do a video form of the tweet no you oh no it's you act actually it's you are the one who looks bad right now I mean also I don't want to assume her gender it's 50 50 but I mean, she probably has her pronouns in her bio, dude.
That's like why they're there.
Yeah, yeah.
That thing you guys are always making fun of?
It's so you don't have to assume anyone's... There's a purpose to it.
Who the fuck?
I'm not actually mad at Greta.
Please bring me pizza and make sure that these boxes are not recyclable.
These boxes are not recyclable.
So I'm actually mad at Greta, right?
Because she doesn't... Okay, so he says I'm not mad twice, at least twice, in the video he made to show how not mad he is about the tweet.
I'm like...
Really hard to get more owned than this.
To do more of a self-owned than this.
Elon putting up a poll, do you like me?
That's up there in the top.
This is insanely embarrassing stuff.
I mean, he has like, like I said, he has like an extra right now.
Like, that pizza is coming in from... Someone's bringing that pizza.
It's not like the delivery man.
This is just like an extra.
Yeah.
You brought in an extra for a video response to a quote tweet, to a ratio.
Like, calm down.
It's not that serious.
And this is a featured extra, too.
Like, he's doing something.
He's interacting with, or they, you know, we don't want to assume their gender.
They're interacting with Andrew Tate.
You just see the hands hand in the infamous pizza boxes.
The pizza boxes seen around the world.
She doesn't realize she's been programmed.
She doesn't realize she's a slave of the Matrix.
She thinks she's doing good.
So he really calls society the Matrix.
He really calls like they each one of these grifters they have their branded name for globalism.
His is The Matrix.
That other guy has The Regime.
The Globalists, famously from Alex Jones.
They each have their little trademarked evil guy.
When you buy the Alex Jones action figure set, you can also buy the Globalist TM action figure set.
You have to have a nemesis, like a specific branded nemesis, and it really helps with the branding.
I think there's this, he's one of this type of guy now too that exists that they really, because he's really going in on the Matrix thing now.
I've never heard it until recently and now he's really going on the Matrix thing.
But I think there's a type of guy now who like has seen all the memes but actually hasn't seen the movie.
You know?
You didn't actually read the theory.
You're just going for the memes.
And I think that's what's happening here with the Matrix.
That's better.
You don't want ideas about fluidity in your identity or dysphoria.
Or, I don't know, the way that money is evil.
Any of that sort of thing.
You don't want to be poisoned with that sort of stuff.
Andrew Tate would watch The Matrix and just be like, you know what?
White dreadlocks might be a good look.
And that's what he'd get on his run with that, hopefully.
There's still a fucking minute left in this Twitter clapback.
Someone has sat her down and convinced her to try and convince you to beg your government to tax you into poverty to stop the sun from being hot.
Stop the sun from being hot, hot, hot.
So this is the meme.
This is like the new meme that I've been seeing for the last, I don't know, couple months is they really think you can stop the sun from being hot if you put a cap and trade in there.
Or if you stop eating cows, you can prevent sunshine from happening.
Sorry, folks.
I mean, I don't know.
We got to go back to kindergarten, I guess.
The sun doesn't disappear when night happens, OK?
The sun doesn't go away.
It's still there.
Still there.
Sorry, bud.
Sorry.
That's called science.
Believe the science.
Yeah, that's their new line.
Go ahead.
You know, libs and progressives, they do all this work to not fall into that stuff.
And they're like, OK, we can't call global warming anymore.
We're going to call it climate change.
But they don't care.
They don't care.
Because we're over here saying, no, no.
The record lows are also bad.
We're not just talking about the heat.
They don't care.
They get to keep punishing us with logic of the heat of the sun.
I want to correct a little thing you said because I think it's important.
People do think liberals changed it to climate change.
But it was Frank Luntz who's like a conservative consultant.
He's the guy who does that, like those panel interviews with the average voter who talk about like which guy they support after hearing a certain message.
He's the one who developed the term climate change.
Let me see if I can... Yeah, that makes sense, yeah.
But like, liberals are the ones who use it.
Well, everybody uses it now.
Every everybody uses it.
That's the standard term for it now.
And it's because of this.
It's because of this guy.
Yeah.
Best known for developing talking points and other messaging for Republican causes.
His work has included assistance with messaging.
He advocated for use of vocabulary crafted to produce a desired effect, including the use of term death tax instead of estate tax and climate change instead of global warming.
Because if you call it climate change, then people can say, oh, well, the climate's always been changing.
Which is a thing they say now.
That's a thing that people say.
People aren't arguing that the weather's not getting hotter anymore because it's going to get harder and harder to do that.
They're arguing that it's a natural phenomenon outside of human endeavor, which is kind of what climate change points towards or implies.
And it's saying right here that this guy also was involved with messaging for pro-Israel policies and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
So when you say climate change, remember what you're doing.
When you're saying climate change, you're basically endorsing Israel.
Yeah, that's true.
Man, he's still going.
And then, because I called her out on it, the Global Matrix got this bot farm to like and retweet and all this bot commenting to try and pretend that her telling me that she has a small dick in her own email address.
Man, I'm, like, embarrassed watching this for you, dude.
Never do this, people.
Never record a video of you getting mad about a tweet.
Never do it.
Especially one from, like, a 19-year-old.
Especially if you're supposed to be, like, closer to 40.
Do not.
This is a bad look.
I mean, just this screenshot.
Just this image, I... Oh, my God.
I need to get a screenshot of this.
He's very... He's... He's God.
He got God.
He's very upset.
He got got so hard.
What a good way to put it.
Yeah.
Somehow teaches me less.
Welcome to a new episode of The Clown Show.
Welcome to the frickin' clown world.
But now I know at least that Greta, with her little hate-filled face.
It is a little face like Greta.
Sitting somewhere without the heating on, in the cold, little hat, shivering.
See, that one made the camera person laugh.
Yeah, that was giddy.
That she doesn't have the heat on.
At least it's like, maybe... He probably still did see that in a meme.
He probably still saw a meme of... I think he did, because I saw a meme... I think it was the end of The Shining, but face swapped for her instead of Jack Nicholson frozen out in the maze.
Amazing.
Oh my god, so stupid.
That's what he saw, dude.
He's just repeating that meme.
Okay, so they're laughing at his joke where he repeated the meme he saw, the shining meme about Greta Thunberg.
Yeah, and then he got arrested by Romanian authorities.
fun into eternity.
Yeah.
And then he got arrested by Romanian authorities.
The story was that the pizza boxes that he brings into frame are from a Romanian pizza company, alerting authorities to the fact that he was in Romania and able to be raided and arrested.
Uh, apparently that's, that's only, you know, a little bit of the story.
If, if at all, I think he had multiple social media posts about being in Romania at the time.
And they were like, Oh, I guess maybe we should get this guy.
Yeah I guess I guess they're saying you know it's a pretty telltale thing because that the point that you know hey where did you just deliver uh did you guys just deliver a pizza to Andrew Tate yeah yeah we did oh okay cool so he's home all right I bet uh but you know other things like just because he's geotagged there or something like that I guess it's hard but they could have done this a long time ago it's not to wait too long but it's just
Yeah, it's just so funny because, I don't know, everyone kind of knows not to self-dox that way.
Uh, he got arrested and on video.
There's video of him getting arrested.
Uh, and I just, there's some been just some wonderful screenshots from it.
Like him, uh, looking at the camera doing like duck lips, uh, with his manicured beard and a hood pulled over his shaved head.
And it's, and it's over late over this is, uh, his tweet that says, if they kill me, I love you all.
Yeah, totally.
Totally.
And I also love that there was a lot of women who were part of the arresting party.
Not to be pro-police over here, but it is very funny that he did get arrested by a lot of women, and that's very funny.
Wow, strange.
You're for abolishing the police, but you think it's funny that Andrew Tate got arrested.
Hmm, very interesting.
Yeah, it's curious, right?
Yeah, for human trafficking, we probably should still take people under control for doing something like that.
I think, you know.
Remember, the only reason we can't take care of it ourselves is because of the laws that are in our way of taking care of it ourselves.
Right.
Yeah, totally.
Very funny.
Yeah, he made a there's this he's still posting on Twitter.
I don't know how, because he's like been detained for 30 days by Romanian authorities.
I think Romanian, like, jails are, like, maybe you can get, maybe you can have a phone.
Because you can have them here, you know?
There's people tweeting in jail here.
Yeah, but that's with, like, burners and stuff, isn't it?
Yeah, so I'm saying maybe, like, in other countries, because we have some of the worst prisons, so, you know, maybe other countries you can actually have, like, a regular phone.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Yeah, maybe you're allowed or whatever.
Yeah, so I'm looking at his Twitter feed, it's so funny.
He retweeted somebody named Gina Bontempo.
I just find it hilarious that Greta Thunberg took the bait from Andrew Tate and gave him free press!
Crying laughing emoji.
Yeah, and again, like, it looks like one person took, only one person took the bait and they bit really fucking hard into the lure and then got arrested.
Like, I don't care if it's because of the tweet or not, even if the tweet has nothing to do with him actually being arrested, it's so much funnier.
You got arrested immediately after making one of the most cringed try-hard posts in existence.
And, like, what free press?
Like, the free press, I mean, was him picking a fight with a 19-year-old.
Like, anybody who was gonna like him from learning that already liked him.
He didn't gain followers from this, I hope.
That would be bad.
He probably did.
He probably gained followers.
I mean, think of how many people heard of Andrew Tate for the first time.
And then think of what percentage of those people are bad people.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not saying like majority, but there's enough to like get this guy to Ferraris.
Yeah.
And someone's like, finally, because people probably were like, finally, someone told her.
Finally, someone was like, Hey, fuck you.
I have cars.
Finally, someone did that.
Wow.
He rebelled against the matrix by criticizing a young woman.
Yeah, I mean, I just have a sticker on my pickup that says, suck my smokestack, Greta.
It's funny what these... And I have a big smokestack and roll coal to spite her every day.
It's funny, like, the message from these guys.
It's like all self-help shit, which is bad enough, which is hollow and dangerous for people's mental health.
I don't even mean dangerous for, like...
They're victims or something just like dangerous for an individual like the self-harm you do by listening to this guy's shit yeah and and taking it at face value or whatever that stuff's bad in and of itself but then to like also part of your marketing gimmick is that there's a shadowy cabal of people who don't want you to sign up for the Andrew Tate University it's it's so funny it's so funny how like
This, this grift, I'm gonna call it a grift, people say it's overused, but this is definitely a fucking grift, like... For sure.
This is, this is why these grifts are so good, is because, like, they don't want you to know about the product I'm selling.
No.
No, you just have to, like, know that whatever it is... I think, I think, I think, if anything, it might... Because I don't think there is anything there.
I'm sure there's like some weird really simple business stuff that people know and then also like the Top G rantings or whatever.
But I think it's probably just like access to like a Discord that's like bad.
That's literally what a big part of it is.
It's like a $6,000 admission fee to like some Discord where the elite meet to talk about Andrew Tate, a guy.
Oh, by the way, when we do our taxes, there's a reason why there's a $6,000 little write-off for the education I got.
That's for the business though.
It's for business.
I mean, we're fair then because I spent $20 on a Trump for kids pamphlet.
Okay, yeah, then we're square.
We're good to go then.
I wish that pamphlet was good, but it's mostly just like constitutional history that you would read on the back of a Denny's placemat in the 90s.
That's a shame.
But it just says good stuff about Trump every once in a while.
Yeah, what a missed opportunity there.
Yeah, so again, to my point, Andrew Tate, he tweeted out, men go through so much pain that they will never talk about it because they know that nobody cares.
And it's like, isn't your shit like, don't get sad, just be better, just do better, change your life.
There's no such thing as depression, is one of his bon mots that he uses.
It's one of his, quit, there's no such thing as depression.
You just have like depressed shit happening in your life and it's up to you to change your life, which.
Yeah.
Again, these are not like... He's talking about real problems, but then his solution is just bog-standard liberal prescriptions that it's on you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and this is the land of opportunity, and you can do it if you actually try, if you stop feeling sorry for yourself.
And it's like, well, how many of your students are ever going to actually overcome the real roadblocks that are put in their ways by the, you know, structure of society as it currently is?
And they're not going to be able to get over that.
And it's going to be like another tragedy that they go through.
They're going to fucking kill themselves.
It's going to be a brutal, it's going to be a brutal section of people who are like going paying money for that either because they did decide to actually grind and pay for it or like they're just using their parents money but like they there are some people out there who probably grinded to like pay for this subscription and it's like not there's going to be zero return on investment but they were just like yeah a girl was meeting me one time and so i decided to get money And like you didn't, but they didn't get money.
They just got like bad information.
Um, this is a video that like, oh, this is his advice to young men.
So this is kind of the same thing.
What do you say to young men who feel lost?
That's fucking Piers, Piers Morgan interviewing him.
So, you know, you know, he's a cool guy.
What do you say to young men who feel lost, who don't really know where they fit into society?
I say that life as a man is exceptionally difficult.
The most beautiful and the most terrifying thing about being a man is you're born without value.
Society doesn't care about you.
You're only going to be cared about based on how useful you are.
You have the chance to build- Okay, so they just showed a picture of a farm worker where they said you're only going to be paid or appreciated as useful for what you can do, for how useful you are.
And they showed a farm worker and it's like...
Yeah, doesn't it seem like that guy produces a lot of value?
Doesn't it seem like that guy should be, I don't know, making a lot more money?
If we're talking about effort, if we're talking about putting effort towards something, I think farm workers, people who fucking bend over backwards, picking food all fucking day, should be ranked, I don't know, among the highest in society, right?
But his whole idea... And everything he's saying...
Yeah, go ahead.
And everything he's saying right now is like, yeah dog, you're missing what the problem here is.
Like there's a reason why, there's a reason why that's the only value you have is what you can, you know, bring to the table.
Like there's a reason why that's happening and you don't, you're not, you think it's, you think it's women in the matrix.
And like that's not it, my man.
Yeah, or you just realize it's like an easily non-disprovable thing to say?
Yeah.
Like, oh, there's a shadowy system that's preventing you from getting, you know, healthcare or like getting a steady place to live or...
Making social connections in your area and... That's a lot of why I have my social anxieties, because of the shadow people.
Fuck yeah man, how are you gonna talk to a woman when you got the hat man over her shoulder?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, yeah.
And it's just like, oh, it's, it's because yeah, there's, uh, there's a war against men or whatever.
And it's like, I don't know if you, if you're subscribing to the idea that there's a war against men, like you're already self-selecting for somebody who's not going to do well in society.
Yeah.
And it's, and it's like, you do have real problems, but this is going to make them so much worse.
This is not going to help.
Yeah.
Yeah, so he says you're only as good as how useful you are.
Indie-fatigable.
up and become a superhero if you're prepared to do the hard work and be indefatigable enough to never quit but if you're indefatigable i he like i'm shocked how close no that's that's a word but i'm shocked at how like close he was to getting it right to pronouncing it correctly So even in your self-help shit, you're not advocating for other men.
You're saying it's a competition.
Being a man is a competition.
I think that a lot of people have forgotten about how difficult and how competitive it is as a man.
We're always in constant competition with each other.
And it's your duty to stand up and say, I want to be as important and strong and good-hearted and God-fearing as possible.
So even in your self-help shit, you're not advocating for other men.
You're saying it's a competition.
Being a man is a competition.
It's a zero-sum game.
So it's up to you and only you to succeed.
Yeah.
And it's like, how is this going to help somebody feel better or more connected to society or have more control over their life when they view just even life as a competition?
I mean, you just gotta become a superhero.
Like he said, you just gotta put the work in and become a superhero.
That's all.
And yeah, if you're noticing a real problem with society is like, oh, you have no value except like your labor, essentially, and you just get exploited for your labor, the solution isn't to change the system.
The solution is to be the best at the really fucked up system.
Oh yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's like that's... How'd you take that effect?
How'd you take that goal from this?
And it's like you didn't.
You already had the goal which was to be wealthy and successful and powerful and then you worked backwards to a real problem.
You picked an actual problem to justify the way that you are being anti-social and deleterious to society and How do you think a society can run if you're like, no, it's a competitive system with winners and losers, and your job is to beat the losers?
Well, you know why he feels that way, right?
You know where he came from, where he starts from.
His dad was a grand chess master?
Oh, I mean, besides that, his rise as a celebrity was he was on Big Brother.
Where it's literally like a social experiment where you have a winner and a loser.
Before that, he was a kickboxer.
He was like a really successful kickboxer.
And then he went to Big Brother where he got kicked off because videos came up of him beating the shit out of his girlfriend.
Yeah, he was on there twice, I think.
Yeah, he also got kicked off of Twitter for hate speech against women.
Yeah, but it's like you don't have a real life.
Elon Musk brought him back though.
That's how we're looking at him right now.
Yeah, free speech.
But it's like you don't even have like a real idea of You've never really had to top G it up, you know?
You've always been pretty mid on the things you're allowed to do.
You were a reality TV star at one point.
That's kind of not a flex.
It's so stupid.
Oh, the Matrix doesn't want you to be rich.
The Matrix doesn't want me to be rich.
I'm the most dangerous man in the world because I'm wealthy and powerful and I love talking about exploitation.
I love being exploitative.
That's one thing society really hates.
Society can't stand a wealthy, misogynist guy having sex slaves.
Yeah, they hate it.
They don't let you build a platform on it or anything.
That's not like who runs the world.
That's not like who is actually in charge.
Oh, you're just one of the good ones.
I'm actually one of the good guys who tricks his girlfriends into becoming, like, my employee for sex work.
So yeah, so wild.
The thing too is like all these people are defending him.
So I joined, to flash forward, there's more funny stuff on his Twitter, but just to speed things along, I joined like the stupidest group, like just overall the dumbest groups I've ever been in, like more so than the boomers, more so than the boomer groups.
This is like bad.
This is... Andrew Tate fans is one of the groups that I joined.
Another one was like, Top G Rescue Squad.
We're forming a fucking posse to protect Andrew Tate.
Amazing.
Top G's.
Top G Rescue Squad.
These are the questions to get in.
We're creating an overnight movement.
Please invite you friends that are also fans of Top G. And then you have to select one to get into the group.
Select one or both of these options and the options are on it and the other option is done.
And so I clicked on it because I hadn't done it yet.
I didn't want to lie but I was like I plan to invite.
It's gonna happen.
Yeah, and so this is me following up on my promise.
Every listener to MDC, go join the group.
I'm recommending this group to all our top Gs out there.
Okay, and then the other one is do not make any threats of violence.
We don't need Facebook, parentheses.
The Matrix is whore, shutting us down.
And then the options are got it and wouldn't dream of it.
All right.
Yeah, uh, Tampa, like this is, so they're the ones who posted that meme where it's, if they kill me, I love you all.
He's getting arrested.
Yeah.
Uh, this guy posted the brother, cause Andrew Tate's brother, Tate, Tate, Tate, I think it's his name.
I think his first name is also Tate.
Uh, he's getting arrested and he's doing the Illuminati sign with his fingers.
He's got his hands clasped together because he's handcuffed, by the way, and he's he's doing like this.
He's steepling his index fingers with like his thumbs crossed, but it's down at his waist.
So it looks cool.
We all know what it means.
We all know what it means.
It's done in a way.
He's telling them what's up.
Roc Nation can't continue getting away with this.
Dude, if I ever get arrested, I'm gonna do this shit.
If I get arrested on camera, like again, it's happened, but if I get arrested on camera, I'm gonna make sure to do this symbol with my fingers, and they'll know.
People will know what I mean.
Just kind of do anything with your fingers, like try to make a diamond or something, or like a cross or something, and just do something cryptic with your hands.
It might help.
It might be the back call that you didn't know you needed.
Oh, I'll do the blood sign that I learned in elementary school.
You know the one that real bloods actually do?
Yeah!
I remember thinking that, like, this is so awkward to do.
It does not seem worth it.
I was a totally smart-ass kid that was like, you know they don't actually do that, right?
I've known a couple and they don't actually do that.
Did you know that?
Yeah.
It's a lie.
It's one of the sick lies the Matrix teaches you from an extremely young age when you're vulnerable and ready to believe that.
Yep.
Yep.
They make you think it's harder than it actually is.
Okay.
So, uh, they've circled in, in the iPhone markup feature on your photos.
Uh, they've done the circle around the steepled fingers showing you look at, look at this.
And the caption is a fearless top G even when gets arrested flexing emoji Stonehenge face emoji, which I guess like rock-solid.
He's like a solid dude Yeah, so he did that he did the fingers Tony Is that like one of their tenants in the university?
Like, now that you've joined TopG University, it's kind of important that you do whatever you can to try and join the Illuminati.
Like, if we can suggest anything, we would suggest joining the Illuminati.
Yeah, I mean, that's how you win at the game of life, is by joining the Illuminati.
Don't they realize, like, they're...
Own prescriptions for men would be to join the Illuminati or to befriend Jeffrey Epstein and do whatever you wanted on his plane because you're in the fucking air.
You're in between, you know, countries borders.
Yeah, like you got to have a boat.
First thing I do is got to have a boat because maritime law is different.
Like he straight up says 40% of the reason he went to Russia, Romania is because they're less likely to prosecute sex crimes.
Yes.
Yeah, he says that.
I don't know the people like they don't really care about women being abused.
You know what I mean?
Because if they're like quote an adult.
Well, then it's like that's that's fine.
That's how society works is you might get fucking talked into doing something you don't want to by somebody who's extremely powerful.
Maybe has you like you like you said Tony on a boat or up in the air or something or just I don't know is surrounded by like three armed gentlemen.
Yeah, yeah, like knows where your mom lives, you know, that kind of stuff.
Yeah, and it's the Epstein thing is like, yeah, they were underage girls, but.
There were like 16 and 17 year old girls from you know around around that age and it's like I just saw in my Facebook feed a story about a woman coming forward that Steven Tyler abused her when she was 17 or whatever.
And the reaction is nothing but laughter.
It's all laugh reacts.
It's all like, she knew what she was doing, or it's like, that's basically old enough, or like, I married my wife when she was 14 and I was 28 back in 1952.
You know, that's like, that's how a lot of people actually feel about women.
And it's like, oh, you can connect Epstein to Hillary Clinton, who's already eating the babies, so Epstein's probably providing her with babies, you know?
Yeah, Epstein's only worse because of a woman.
Which somehow, you know?
There's Bill Gates, though, too.
There's Bill Clinton.
They hate all those motherfuckers.
But it's like, if you look at, like, it's kind of the same thing that we're talking about here.
It's young girls who were pressured into, quote, working for this guy.
And it's just, it's, I don't know.
It's shocking to see people who have been on this like anti-pedophile crusade for the last two years now, who have always been on this save our children crusade, save the children.
That's been a rallying cry for conservatives and reactionaries forever, forever.
But yeah, if it's a pubescent girl, all bets are off.
That's life.
Yeah, old enough to dress that way, old enough to be treated that way.
That's really the way they think.
It's really fucked up.
Because in their mind, they're like protecting toddlers.
That's all they really care about.
Once you go through puberty, then you're an adult.
They only care about toddlers and young kids, is really who they're talking about.
Okay, more from this group, Andrew Tate fans, on this post.
Kula says, people thinking this is real.
He knows exactly what he is doing.
The world is a stage.
100 emoji, okay sign emoji.
Again like if you think this is staged and you think that he would cast women to be cops is incredible.
I like that's such a glaring thing to me it's just so funny it's like if you really think that come on.
Well the video was originally longer and ended a different way.
Yeah.
They edited it, yeah.
Yeah, he knows exactly what he's doing.
All the world is a stage, like that one guy said.
That means this is fake.
That's what Shakespeare meant.
Shakespeare meant that this was fake!
Yep, just like the plays.
You think Romeo and Juliet was real?
You think Hamlet was real?
Wow.
Open your eyes, man.
Let me introduce you to something called the Matrix.
Your whole life has been a lie.
Fucking idiot.
You thought that was blood?
They were just throwing red fabric across the stage, you fucking idiot.
God.
uh yeah that's what we're dealing with in this group uh another rumor that was going around in the early period of his arrest was that Greta had him swatted because which would be even funnier oh my god that would be
Way more amazing than than I mean it's better that like he's actually going to prison like that's that's for sure better but I think if you get someone swatted for like for something that's actually there's actually evidence for I think that I don't think there's any I think it just works I think they give you a reward Yeah, you just say, hey, you know, you're going here for this thing, and then they go find that thing.
Yeah, I think that would work for him.
But he said there was like maybe an old interview, because this is the second time he's been arrested, as you'll find out.
The second time he's been arrested in Romania for sex trafficking.
There's an old video of him being like, Oh, it's just some internet stuff.
You know, I got swatted or whatever.
So people took that video and associated it with this arrest.
That's where this, uh, this rumor started.
Okay.
So sounds like Greta had him swatted.
If that's true, space, comma, she will be the one seeing criminal charges.
That's right, buddy.
They're actually going to arrest Greta.
And actually, Greta did an even longer, more cringe video, and the mainstream media won't show it to you, though.
Even Elon.
Elon's been compromised by the Matrix.
They deleted it from Twitter.
Yeah, she had one of the most soy faces in the video.
You'll never see it.
It's been completely erased.
Also, I don't know if there are laws against it in Romania.
I don't know those rules there, you know?
Laws against what?
I already forgot what we were talking about.
It's like getting someone swatted.
Oh yeah, maybe it's legal in Romania to swat somebody.
Yeah, they're crazy over there, dude.
Maybe they also just don't swat like they swat here.
Who knows?
Maybe they don't swat by throwing an explosive into a crib right away.
Maybe it is less harmful.
Yeah, maybe they have more respect.
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't, I doubt it though.
It all sucks.
Yeah, here's another photo.
This is again from Andrew Tate fans Facebook group.
Posted a photo of, yeah, Andrew Tate steepling his fingers.
Steepling his fingers while being, like, while sitting in the back of a cop car.
Like, he's got him up to his chest.
Mr. Bernstyle, but like to his chest.
Well, just the pointers.
Just the pointers.
Not all the fingers.
Just the pointer fingers.
Let me share this screen with you.
Oh yeah, that's good.
Yeah, dude, that's good.
It's a good cryptic, yeah.
The fingers are laced except for the index fingers that are, yeah, steepled.
It's so good, yeah.
He's staring menacingly.
He's signaling to the world.
No, he looks worried.
He looks like he's upset.
Someone might actually see this and think, oh shit, he's telling me I gotta free him.
I got your secret message, Mr. Tate.
That is the seventh triangle I saw today.
It does make sense.
And then, yeah, Adnan shared this into the group and says, Don't worry, my G. We didn't miss it.
Yep, there it is.
We see it.
We see it.
So what are you saying, Adnan?
Are you doing something with that now?
Yeah, they're still on his side.
Like, I so wish this was actually... Well, I don't know.
They might do something bad, so maybe not.
I don't want anybody really activated by this thing, I guess.
Yeah.
But... Yeah, what they're gonna do is just rally behind him.
That's what the symbol means.
That's what the finger's together.
It means, no, I'm still good.
I love that so much.
Don't worry, Top G. We're sending good vibes.
We're gonna send good vibes.
I love that so much, getting arrested, like dragged out of your house for sex trafficking, but you put three fingers up, you put like three fingers next to your thigh as you're walking out, and that means you didn't do sex trafficking anymore.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, this is all fake.
Clearly I'm being set up.
That was my secret symbol for I'm innocent.
I didn't do it.
But you wouldn't know that because you don't pay $6,000 to get into the secret circle, the inner circle, where we learn these things.
And I couldn't just tell the police that because they wouldn't understand.
They'd have to see it through this lens.
You have to tell them that I'm innocent, actually.
God, these photos are so fucking funny.
Just like some of the worst people in the world getting arrested but they do a silly little thing with their fingers and that means it's a setup.
And it's like funny because I wonder if they are doing that because they are trying to like be, but I think they just think that's like that's how gentlemen pose when they're handcuffed.
It is kind of like, you know, I'm picturing the poster for The Gentleman directed by that guy, the guy Richie.
I watched that one.
I watched that one.
It was rough.
Is it bad enough to watch?
Um, it is because it's, okay, it seems like a parody of a Guy Ritchie movie.
Should we watch it for the show?
Is it worth talking about on the show?
Is it that bad?
Uh, I'll watch it again.
I'd watch it again.
It's just, it's just so cringey.
The whole thing is so fucking cringey.
Oh, nevermind.
I don't like, we don't like covering cringe things on this show.
And there's no, there's no, um, uh, there's no pikey representation in this one.
So no one really cares.
Okay.
Is, uh, is the transporter in it?
I don't think he's in it.
Yeah, not interested.
Put that guy back in your movies.
It is what I think every one of the gentlemen is doing on the poster for that movie, which is tenting their fingers.
That's how gentlemen do.
That's how you show that you're refined.
Yeah, so another thing was they all thought that he got out of jail.
They all thought that him and his brother were released from jail like that night.
Because, like I said, they'd already been arrested in Romania for trafficking, for human trafficking, and then they got fucking released.
So there's just your foreshadowing of what's gonna happen this time.
Don't fucking hold your breath that anything's gonna actually happen to these guys.
But, yeah, old videos circulated the internet of the last time they got released after being arrested for human trafficking, and they were like, oh, they're out now.
Like, everybody posted this shit.
The Top G's are out of jail.
Tate Brothers just got out of jail.
Hashtag Andrew Tate.
Hashtag Tate Brothers.
Hashtag Tristan Tate.
And then yeah, it's a video from back when he had hair.
Back before he shaved his head.
And this is the video that you're sharing.
Like, - Like, that's why we say, you know, champagne for my real friends, you know?
And real pain for my sham friends, you know?
Because if you were really down for the top G, you would recognize this picture right away from the first time a man got out.
You're not new around here, you know, but you're all new around here.
This huge Instagram page, Tate the real world with 130,000 followers.
Welcome to the real world.
Learn from verified millionaires owned by at scholar escape the matrix.
Yeah, escape the matrix by paying me money by giving me fucking money.
And the top three posts are all about Andrew Tate.
Andrew Tate has been officially released.
Tate proves his innocence.
And it's a video of him being, yeah, arrested.
Andrew Tate has been detained for another 30 days.
So like, he was freed, and then they detained him again, just to fuck with him.
Just to fuck with him.
Yeah.
And then around this same time, this same day, Elon Musk tweeted a meme that's a Matrix.
It's a Matrix meme and it's got Neo in like deviant art.
So this is like somebody's artwork that they ripped off for this fucking meme.
They couldn't even use a still from the movie.
It's Neo and his glasses green, you know, over code.
What if I told you this is all impact font?
It's a fucking impact font meme.
An unironic impact font matrix meme.
We're, like, back to the early 2000s.
We are back to, like, the late 90s and early 2000s in terms of culture and memes.
That's true.
You had to go to find this version of the image that's also, like, cropped the way it's cropped.
Like, everything about it is... This is almost vintage enough to be a new niche.
It's a screenshot of of the meme.
Yeah.
So you see top empty space on top and empty space on bottom.
Yeah.
The only way to escape the matrix is to unlearn everything that you have been taught and rebuild your entire belief system based on critical thought and analysis.
So wow, there's these leftist memes, they just fucking go on and on, don't they?
Sure.
I mean, sure, that's one way to do it.
Another way to do it is to unplug.
And by unplug, I mean take it however you want, Elon.
But that's another way you can escape the Matrix, is to unplug.
Yeah, the way you escape the Matrix is to unplug, uh, except for my website.
Unplug except for the content that you're giving me money for.
All that stuff is good.
That stuff is clean.
We, we checked it for Matrix code.
It's fine.
It's good.
It's good.
It's fine.
Uh, yeah, don't, please don't watch them.
Just, I love if this meme kept going.
Just don't watch the movie.
We're talking about a different Matrix that we made up in our mind that has nothing to do with class analysis or sex analysis or gender analysis.
We're talking about the real Matrix, not the movie, the actual one.
Man, it's like a gender study.
The Matrix is like a gender study in and of itself.
Man, that's so funny.
Yeah.
And like pretty blatantly so.
Yeah.
And so Elon, Elon came out and like dapped up Greta.
He was like, damn Greta.
I got to hand it to you.
What did he tweet?
You remember this?
Did you see it?
No, I didn't see that part.
No, I didn't really follow it like that.
It was like because people were like so ecstatic with how well Greta dunked on him and like how well that her tweet performed like her tweet is in like the top 20 performing tweets in history or whatever so Elon like quote tweeted that and was like it was kind of fire though or something like that.
I love it when he tries to use slang a little bit, because you can picture him trying to say it out loud with his real voice, and it just sounds all fucked.
I don't know if he actually used slang, but whatever he said was just like, to that effect.
Yeah, yeah.
People were stoked.
People were stoked.
She won the internet that day.
She did win the internet.
Fuck.
I mean, there was some of the internet who was mad at her, which was a whole other topic.
But that was different.
Okay, yeah.
So, Andrew Tate fans, extremely dumb place on the internet.
Just like, man, depressingly.
So, there was one more tweet from Andrew Tate that I wanted to read.
Andrew Tate, this is 11 hours ago.
I was made for battle.
A warrior of light.
My enemies hope to attack me with lies.
They try to destroy the family unit.
They try to silence any loud opposition.
I love that they try to destroy the family unit, such as having 75 cam women working for you.
You think that they actually did some like... They were like, hey we talked to your brother, your brother told us everything, and they just told both of them that?
Like they tried to tear the family apart.
He's like, he's doing the capitalist version of all the...
Like abolishing ideas of society.
He's doing, he's ethically non-monogamous, right?
He's like, he's like Pauly, like he probably has a bunch of strict rules with every girl he's with that they both have, they quote, both have to agree to abide by.
I don't think he would even... He's probably doing that, but not using those words at all.
Well, that's my point.
That's my point.
I'm saying, like, he's abolishing the family by doing this shit.
He's pro-sex work, just as long as it's still hierarchical and exploitative in... I mean, even more exploitative in nature.
It's so funny, but he's trad.
Actually, he's the trad sex cam operator guy.
Wild.
He sucks so bad.
And then he's been, now he's been like, it sucks because I was talking to a friend who at her local mosque, like a bunch of the dudes there, a bunch of like the Muslim dudes are there, like, oh, like he's, you know, he's about it.
He's about that life.
Yeah, he converted to Islam.
He's like, I mean, I doubt he actually practices at all, but he uses these, like, really, you know, outdated interpretations to justify his stuff.
And it sucks that there's, like, people who are like, oh, he's actually a good person because he's actually, like, a man of faith now.
He gives it all to God.
This is all given to God.
So he uses, like, trad, gross thing, but he just uses, like, just the right words to get away with all of it to a certain amount of people, obviously.
I mean the Abrahamic religions, the Western quote religions, or what do you call those?
Like all three of those?
Islam isn't Abrahamic, is it?
I don't think so.
No.
That's just Christianity and Judaism.
But it's like, they're all pretty similar.
They all came from pretty similar places in the world.
And he's just, yeah, using the more fundamentalist passages that are also in the Old Testament and shit like that.
You know, similar stuff is there as well.
But yeah, he did convert to Islam, though, as far as I can tell.
Yeah, I think he did, but I wonder to what extent he's actually practicing it.
Who gives a shit?
I don't care.
If he's an extremely devout Islam, he seems like he'd still be a piece of shit, you know?
Oh yeah, totally.
I just doubt it.
I'm just saying, I just doubt he's doing it at all.
He's just using it, like, he's just using it, I feel like.
And that sucks.
Yeah, I mean, you have to, like, pray several times a day, or I guess not everybody does that.
These are really ignorant questions, like, I realize that as I'm saying them.
As I'm saying, I doubt he's doing any of it besides just saying in word that he converted, and then, you know, like, tweeting out into the law every once in a while.
Yeah, like, hitting one of his girlfriends because she lied to him, and that's what God tells him to do.
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
As long as he says those, I don't think he's doing anything for real.
I don't think he's reading any passages.
Yeah, I don't know.
They try to destroy the family unit.
They try to silence any loud opposition.
I refuse to leave fellow men in the dark.
Someone needs to show them the light.
Who better than TATE!
Who better than third person?
Who better than Tate?
Goddamn, third person.
Love it.
Third person, all caps.
That's really good.
Third person, just last name?
Goddamn.
Yeah.
Wait, does he mean his brother?
Maybe he means his brother.
That's true.
That's why he's like, bigging him up so hard.
It's so funny.
I refuse to leave fellow men in the dark, even though I'm saying that society is structured in a strictly competitive manner, and if you don't win, you're a loser.
Why would I ever bother helping anyone who's not me, when all I do is make fun of people who are worse off than me?
And try my best to exploit as many people as possible.
Why would I ever help you?
It's enticing to people.
People are like, okay, if I get to a certain point, I can be an asshole like this too.
As long as I get to this point, I can be this asshole.
This last tweet that he retweeted is very good.
Laia Heilpern says, people hate Andrew Tate so much that they'd rather women were actually trafficked and abused rather than see him walk free and innocent.
Anyone else noticing this?
What?
What?
Yeah, this is what she's saying is like, you know how some people have fantasies about women being trafficked or whatever so that they can do a Liam Neeson style rescue operation where they get to kill like 25 vaguely brown people or like leftist Antifa thugs coming into their house to do unspeakable acts to their family.
You know how people have those fantasies?
That's that's what you guys are doing when this guy got arrested for for sex trafficking.
You're just having that fantasy.
Yeah.
And it sucks because it's like, yo, so you agree people should be punished for sex trafficking and abuse.
You agree with that.
You just don't think he did it even though he talks about doing it.
Yeah.
Oh, it's just, I hate it so much.
It's all just so stupid.
I do, yeah, I do wish he hadn't done sex trafficking.
I'll give you that.
Yeah, I would be I would be happier if he weren't in control of a what it seems to be an extremely exploitative.
That's the best way to say it.
Situation with vulnerable women who like are fucking moved out of their country.
They're taken from their country and put in Romania.
He's got videos where he says like his quote, girlfriends aren't allowed to leave the house.
Yeah, I don't have phones and stuff.
Yeah, did I screen... I don't know if I... I don't know if I recorded that.
But he was just like, yeah, no, they're not allowed to leave the fucking house.
Are you fucking kidding me?
They stay at home and they wait for me.
And I'm assuming what he means is they stay at home, quote, at home, and they work until he comes back.
And like you said, I would love it if he wasn't getting arrested for trafficking and abuse because if that meant that it didn't happen, I would take that trade all day.
I wish he was full of shit.
I wish he was just talking shit and not being all so awful and actionable.
I would prefer that.
Everything he's said, everything he's gone on record saying that he does, Is bad enough.
It doesn't even have to be, it doesn't even have to be quote illegal, right?
Because I mean, the laws about like what it's okay to do to women and what it's okay to do to your quote employees are already exploitative, are already abusive, already allow all kinds of abuse.
It doesn't have to be illegal because he's just telling you I'm a piece of shit and I hate women and I don't respect them and I, and I hurt them.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're saying it very clearly.
And I feel good about it, because God told me to.
Yeah, anyway, I didn't want to end on such a downer note, but it is what it is.
Well, it's a new year.
A lot of bad stuff happened last year, but a lot of good stuff happened, I think.
A lot of positive energy in the labor movement.
Seeing a lot of struggle out in the open.
Which struggles always been going on but you just it's it's you can't ignore it now at this even even like corporate media can't ignore what's happening because it's because it's actually having an effect.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's definitely, uh, it's become more common.
I see it more, um, just like not even on the internet, just like in real life.
And I mean, it's, it's good.
And hopefully this is just momentum we're building and hopefully I think, you know, I like to see some of these, uh, some of these fuckers finally like fall, you know, like I like to see a whole new Starbucks one day, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So I feel good about it.
Feeling good.
I wonder, um, It seemed like, I guess, the defining events of, like, the last couple years politically, I would argue, would be, yeah, the labor fight returning to the public eye.
But before that, it was obviously, like, the George Floyd uprising.
The two years before that was, like, the George—three years before that.
Was George Floyd and all those protests and all like, all those actions that happened, all those demonstrations.
And like, there's been a lot of people reflecting back on that time period and saying like, well, what actually happened?
Like, what actually was achieved?
And, you know, we didn't actually defund the police.
Like, barely anybody did that.
The couple, like, DAs that were, you know, progressive that got put in, Uh, have now- have now been outed?
Ousted?
Like, is that- did that guy Krasner?
Is he- is he still in or is he out?
Uh, I- I think- I think he's- I think he's out now.
Well, he got- Like, just now.
He got impeached, but then did somebody s- I just saw somebody say he won his impeachment.
But, like, either way, there was, like, you know, another record year of people murdered by the police.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
It seems like, you know, maybe not a lot of material stuff came out of that, but I can't help but imagine a lot of the people who are striking and organizing now maybe didn't meet during those three years or get connected to an organization that was doing George Floyd, Abolish the Police type stuff during those years.
I'll say that you're absolutely right there, yeah.
That's for sure.
You know, like, any connections that I have to, like, the labor movements here now, because I'm not in the regular workforce, are through the organizing we were doing during that time.
That's where I met these combinators, and, like, anything I know around here is because of that.
Yeah, yeah, we totally, that's how we met.
Absolutely.
I would argue, like, The Bernie Sanders campaign, then the George Floyd uprising are like two things that led to the labor, the wave of strikes, the wave of organizing.
I think it activated a lot of people.
Absolutely yeah and I hope hopefully hopefully like because you know now this is more class consciousness and like we always we've been saying for a long time that's the only way forward that's the only thing you know that's the only that's the only way forward is is that it's the power that's the power you have like you you can have all sorts of goals that aren't just class related But the way you achieve them is through class action.
That's the way you have to get them.
Because that's the only power we have.
It's not voting.
Still do that, sure.
But that's the actual power we have.
And more people are seeing it in action, which is great.
There's a lot to look forward to there.
Who knows?
Maybe just because something gets beat back once doesn't mean it's going to stick that way.
Who knows?
Maybe we can get the train shut down for a day.
These are all things that can still happen.
We're only seeing more and more of it so hopefully that momentum continues.
Yeah, I mean, UPS, Teamsters, Teamsters are going into negotiations with UPS this year.
So we'll see what happens there.
I think, yeah, I think it's going to be probably an eventful year.
I predict that, just in general.
Living in America, baby.
I fucking love seeing Teamsters billboards, man.
Which one did you see?
My favorite is there's a bus banner.
That just says, uh, overworked, underpaid teamsters.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's so hard.
And like, it's all, there's one on the bus.
There's a one on the digital, there's a digital billboard and there's like another billboard.
And like, it just, I've seen a few of them and it just, fuck it.
They're always, they're just so hard.
Just overworked, underpaid teamsters.
And this just looks sick and very to the point.
There was a billboard on the way to the freeway from my center in Seattle that was like a veterans, like help a veteran billboard or like veterans program or something.
Might have even been Wounded Warrior.
It was something like that.
And then one day it got replaced with a Teamsters billboard that says thank you for your service during the pandemic.
And there's a Teamsters one?
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah, it's like amazing.
Finally some credit.
Finally.
Where's my fucking parking?
Where's my parking space, McClendon's?
Huh?
You know what?
Those motherfuckers only clanked pots and pans for the people on the front line for about a week, so...
That shit was so annoying, dude.
I was on my first floor studio apartment at, like, 8 p.m., just had gotten home from work, and then, yeah, I hear a bunch of pots and pans, and I'm like, coming from, like, above me, coming from, like, the 10th floor on the building caddy corner to me.
It wasn't bad.
It's nice, I guess, but that was a crazy couple years to just work that whole fucking time.
12 hour days for like almost two years straight.
That was nuts.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it's wild.
But yeah, exactly.
I'm optimistic about this coming year.
I think a lot of cool things are going to be happening.
I'm excited.
I mean, the pandemic, that's another thing that led to this moment.
That's definitely another thing.
People started thinking much harder about work and what their time is worth and what their life is worth.
So there's silver linings to all this stuff, I think.
And yeah, eager to spend 2023 talking with you guys about it.
