[00:00:00]  Alright kids, it's time to go back to Alabama.
[00:00:05]  What's that?
[00:00:05]  Why Alabama?
[00:00:07]  Because daddy has some unresolved business with a man named Seabass.
[00:00:15]  And if daddy doesn't make it out, all right, avenge daddy.
[00:00:22]  Here I come for you, Seabass.
[00:00:24]  Bold here.
[00:02:00]  I didn't bring gear for this.
[00:02:03]  My car thermometer says 23 degrees.
[00:02:08]  So I looked at the map.
[00:02:10]  Where in northern Alabama am I going to find Seabass?
[00:02:15]  And I'm looking at the names.
[00:02:17]  I'm going for a small town.
[00:02:19]  And one name popped out at me.
[00:02:20]  It couldn't be.
[00:02:22]  And then I came here to the coffee shop and I asked a woman who worked there.
[00:02:28]  I said, what is the correct way to pronounce this town?
[00:02:32]  And do you know what she said?
[00:02:34]  Arab.
[00:02:36]  Yep, I'm in Arab, Alabama.
[00:02:38]  You can't make this up, people.
[00:02:41]  I am in Arab.
[00:02:43]  So my joke became something of a real thing.
[00:02:50]  So I knew I was going to find Seabass here, or I'm thinking this.
[00:02:56]  And I'm at the coffee shop right by the door waiting for Seabass to walk in.
[00:03:02]  And the men who walk in, they didn't even give me eye contact.
[00:03:08]  And then one young man came in in camouflage gear.
[00:03:14]  And I'm thinking this is Seabass.
[00:03:18]  And I looked and he had a gun.
[00:03:21]  So I was going to confront him, of course.
[00:03:24]  But he had a gun and you don't bring a laptop to a gunfight.
[00:03:28]  So I thought, I'll just wait till Seabass starts some beef with me.
[00:03:35]  But as T-Bass told me last week, Seabass didn't want to have anything to do with me.
[00:03:42]  He didn't even give me the time of day.
[00:03:45]  Maybe he wasn't a Seabass, but I'm pretty sure he was.
[00:03:50]  He seemed real angry.
[00:03:51]  Like One guy I managed to get a nod out of him because he was staring at me.
[00:03:59]  But we're not in Georgia anymore.
[00:04:01]  Georgia, people are so friendly, so nice.
[00:04:03]  And here up in northern Alabama, I got a couple looks.
[00:04:08]  I got a lot of looks from the women.
[00:04:12]  One mother and daughter team.
[00:04:15]  The mother, she looked at me and laughed and then said something to her mom.
[00:04:22]  The mom, she looked at me, and then they both started laughing.
[00:04:27]  Why were they laughing at me?
[00:04:30]  Oh boy.
[00:04:32]  But other than that, I didn't get the battle that I wanted.
[00:04:41]  Because did you really come to the south if you didn't get into an altercation with sea bass?
[00:04:50]  But I must say the odds that I found Arab.
[00:04:54]  Arab, Alabama, I can't get over this.
[00:04:57]  And it's not a bad town, actually.
[00:05:00]  Seems kind of poor, though.
[00:05:01]  I saw a lot of mobile home sales lots.
[00:05:08]  If I didn't know any better, I would say that mobile homes are flying off the shelves.
[00:05:14]  There is a lot of that here.
[00:05:17]  And I'm not going to give up on my hunt for sea bass.
[00:05:23]  Now I'm going more to the north, but a bigger town where I'll encounter more people.
[00:05:31]  And hopefully that sea bass experience that's coming for me will happen.
[00:05:38]  I'm in
[00:08:15]  Athens, Alabama.
[00:08:17]  A very nice town.
[00:08:21]  Spent some time in the center.
[00:08:24]  And a little bit of a mix of the southern charm with the old town Americana feel.
[00:08:33]  And yes, people here aren't as nice as in Georgia, but they're still pretty nice.
[00:08:38]  And as long as they have the southern accent, I think I can get along with them.
[00:08:46]  That said, no sign of C Bass.
[00:08:50]  I looked everywhere.
[00:08:53]  Up and down the main streets and the back streets.
[00:08:58]  Daring Seabass to come and challenge me.
[00:09:02]  But he's too much of a coward.
[00:09:06]  Northern Alabama is my town now.
[00:09:08]  These are my parts.
[00:09:10]  Seabass, he forfeit northern Alabama to me.
[00:09:15]  Look at me.
[00:09:17]  I'm Seabass now.
[00:09:20]  If you want to come up here in Alabama, you got to go through me.
[00:09:26]  And too bad anyway, because we're full.
[00:09:29]  We don't have any more space for y'all city slickers.
[00:09:33]  No, no.
[00:09:34]  I'm the last one.
[00:09:36]  Now that I'm Seabass.
[00:09:40]  But if you want, you can call me Roosh Bass.
[00:09:43]  That's also acceptable.
[00:09:48]  I knew that C Bass was just a big coward.
[00:09:51]  All that big talk about being a tough guy.
[00:09:55]  Who's that guy over there?
[00:09:56]  Oh.
[00:09:57]  Never mind.
[00:09:58]  I was playing.
[00:09:59]  There wasn't any tough guy there.
[00:10:02]  So my first order of business as Seabass is to take all of the women that are coming to me.
[00:10:10]  I announce my virility and masculinity to the thin Alabama girls up here in Athens.
[00:10:20]  The three or four of them that are left.
[00:10:23]  Roosh Bass is in town.
[00:10:26]  Don't form a line now.
[00:10:31]  Any second now they're gonna come to me because I'm more of an alpha than Seabass.
[00:10:39]  Well, C Bass, if you're hiding in your mommy's basement, I came to your town and took over.
[00:10:45]  I took over the whole northern part of your state.
[00:10:51]  Sweet home, Alabama, indeed.
[00:10:53]  And now I'm shutting it down.
[00:10:54]  No more people coming.
[00:10:56]  This is sweet home, Alabama, not everybody's home, Alabama.
[00:11:02]  Yeah, me and my faithful virgin Christian wife.
[00:11:08]  We're gonna lay down some roots here.
[00:11:14]  Well, I came, I conquered, and that's it for Roosh Bass.
[00:11:22]  Goosh bass out
[00:14:39]  He's having a picnic alone just like I do Can I sit with you, little guy?
[00:14:48]  Oh, I guess.
[00:15:34]  So I'm in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City.
[00:15:37]  Whatever the city was about, now it's about music.
[00:15:40]  Music everywhere.
[00:15:42]  That's the draw that's going to get you to come here, spend a lot of money to go on Broadway, which is a street that has a lot of bars, honky-tonk bars with the neon lights.
[00:15:55]  It kind of feels like Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
[00:15:59]  And what is honky-tonk?
[00:16:00]  I didn't know what honky-tonk was.
[00:16:01]  No one told me what honky-tonk is.
[00:16:04]  So I'm studying.
[00:16:05]  Every honky-tonk bar, I looked inside and I'm studying.
[00:16:08]  I'm like, ah, I figured it out.
[00:16:10]  Honky Tonk means whites only.
[00:16:12]  So that's what it definitely means.
[00:16:15]  I didn't see any black souls in the honky tonk bars.
[00:16:20]  But Nashville is what I thought Austin, Texas would be with this music-centered kind of vibe, the southern charm.
[00:16:30]  But no, Austin is not like that at all.
[00:16:32]  Austin is a pit.
[00:16:34]  I don't advise that.
[00:16:35]  But Nashville is what Austin used to be, I guess, from what I am told.
[00:16:41]  There's this focus on music.
[00:16:43]  But good news is there's no hip-hop on the music.
[00:16:46]  There's none of that, you know, programmed music.
[00:16:50]  Some dude is hitting the buttons to make the bass line.
[00:16:53]  So it's actually live music.
[00:16:55]  It's free.
[00:16:56]  I mean, you can donate to the band.
[00:16:59]  And the music is good.
[00:17:00]  The music is fine, but the baggage attached to it is the alcohol and the fornication.
[00:17:06]  Everyone's getting wasted.
[00:17:07]  So what it is, Nashville is where other tourists from the South come to just get trashed and to forget about all of their problems back in Arab, Alabama.
[00:17:20]  It's kind of, I guess, it was the way the people were.
[00:17:25]  I mean, it's not something that is pleasing.
[00:17:28]  It's just a drunk fest.
[00:17:32]  And you are supposed to appreciate the music, but you're drunk out of your mind.
[00:17:36]  So the one thing is that the tourism industry promotes you coming here to go to Broadway for the music.
[00:17:45]  But the music has this sinful baggage attached to it.
[00:17:48]  So guess what's going to happen?
[00:17:49]  Guess how Nashville is going to be in five years' time?
[00:17:51]  Because they're attracting the wrong type of people.
[00:17:54]  Yep, it's going to be just like Austin, Texas.
[00:17:56]  If you're attracting people who want to party, who want to intoxicate and fornicate, and these people move here, it doesn't take a city planner to take a guess what's going to happen.
[00:18:08]  And from me talking to people who live here, what's happening is the city dwellers from Chicago and New York are starting to move here.
[00:18:18]  So while the Californians move to Arizona, Texas, Idaho, Montana, Northeast, city slaves, it's too expensive.
[00:18:28]  They don't like it there anymore.
[00:18:29]  But without changing their ways, they come to Nashville, Tennessee.
[00:18:32]  Oh, Nashville is so great.
[00:18:33]  The scene is great.
[00:18:34]  The music is great.
[00:18:34]  But they bring their habits with them.
[00:18:36]  And we know what's going to happen here.
[00:18:38]  So enjoy Nashville while you can.
[00:18:43]  What else?
[00:18:45]  I got some bad news.
[00:18:47]  I was in a lot of these honky-tonk bars, and who do I see again and again?
[00:18:52]  Real sea bass.
[00:18:53]  There was a lot of tough southerners, southern men, who I can tell is more alpha than me.
[00:19:02]  I can tell if I step on their brown boots, they are going to kick my ass, just like sea bass does.
[00:19:09]  So unfortunately after this experience My pride came down a bit I can no longer claim to be an authentic sea bass I Thought I was the king of northern Alabama, but here in Nashville, I'm just a small bass but I still encourage you to call me Ruch Bass.
[00:19:33]  That is my name.
[00:19:34]  I went to the Nashville courthouse.
[00:19:36]  I changed my name.
[00:19:38]  It's now Roosh Bass.
[00:19:40]  So I'm Ruch B now and if you want to sound a little tougher than you are, just add Bass to your first name and you will be tough just like me.
[00:19:52]  What else in Nashville we have here?
[00:19:56]  It's very one thing I learned, I thought the South was just one monolithic culture, one type, but really it changes.
[00:20:04]  You know, the way the South is in Northern Florida compared to Louisiana, compared to Georgia, compared to Alabama.
[00:20:12]  These are technically the South, but they're different.
[00:20:15]  So there isn't one kind of South.
[00:20:20]  That's one thing that I learned.
[00:20:22]  And the Nashville South is pretty friendly.
[00:20:25]  It's pretty, I would say more friendly than the Alabama South.
[00:20:32]  But it's different.
[00:20:33]  And it would take, you have to go to each place and understand what their culture, their food is.
[00:20:39]  So white people in the South definitely have some kind of culture.
[00:20:43]  And that was good to see.
[00:20:45]  Black people in Nashville, they have a bigger chip on their shoulder than in Georgia.
[00:20:50]  I could sense it.
[00:20:51]  Now we're getting that aggro is coming back.
[00:20:54]  It's not as bad as in the Northeast, but I was on the sidewalk and this big black dude with an angry face was walking in the middle.
[00:21:01]  He owned the sidewalk and you had to get out of the way.
[00:21:04]  He bought that sidewalk.
[00:21:05]  So that's kind of the Washington, D.C. thing, where they control the streets.
[00:21:11]  So I started to get that vibe here.
[00:21:13]  When in Georgia, that man would have gotten out of the way, said he's said, asked me how I am doing.
[00:21:20]  But here, now here you're starting to get a little bit of that thug influence that I didn't see in other parts.
[00:21:29]  I went to a Greek Orthodox church.
[00:21:32]  So you're asking why did I go to a Greek Orthodox church when it seems like the Greeks don't like Armenian people.
[00:21:37]  I don't know.
[00:21:38]  I think they don't like me.
[00:21:41]  But I went there.
[00:21:41]  People were pretty nice.
[00:21:44]  And that's all I'll say.
[00:21:47]  But I didn't talk to the priest.
[00:21:49]  One thing I'll say, and it was a parish that was huge.
[00:21:52]  There was a lot of people.
[00:21:53]  I went to Holy Trinity.
[00:21:56]  And it was a lot of converts.
[00:22:00]  Why?
[00:22:00]  Because there's not many Orthodox churches in the South.
[00:22:04]  This is one thing I noticed.
[00:22:06]  Since I left Texas, I haven't met many Orthodox men come to my talks.
[00:22:10]  So it's not as big here.
[00:22:13]  And one thing, this church had a lot of women that were good looking.
[00:22:18]  That's something that I am not down with.
[00:22:20]  I can't deal with that.
[00:22:21]  When I'm in church, if there's a good-looking girl, then I'm in, now I have to use all my spiritual willpower to fight that.
[00:22:29]  So what I like about my Armenian church is that the average age of the women there is like 60.
[00:22:36]  So I go in, just old ladies.
[00:22:38]  It's great.
[00:22:39]  It's great.
[00:22:40]  I can focus on God totally.
[00:22:42]  So please don't invite me to churches with good-looking girls.
[00:22:46]  And, you know, the girls there in this church today, they dress very nice.
[00:22:50]  I mean, maybe too nice.
[00:22:53]  So one thing I like about the Russian Orthodox Church is that the women cover up.
[00:22:59]  They cover their heads for the entire time.
[00:23:02]  In the Armenian church, the women cover up only when they take communion.
[00:23:06]  In the Greek Orthodox Church, they don't cover up.
[00:23:10]  But I'm not complaining.
[00:23:13]  I know the Greeks are watching me because they made some comments.
[00:23:18]  They made some comments about my time in St. Anthony's.
[00:23:22]  And I'm glad they are watching.
[00:23:24]  I love the Greeks.
[00:23:26]  The Greeks are the one true church because they are very proud of their church.
[00:23:32]  And I'm glad.
[00:23:33]  Okay, so my event, my 22nd event went really well.
[00:23:39]  It was a pretty large crowd because Nashville is kind of in the center of the South.
[00:23:45]  So I got a lot of people from Mississippi, Alabama, got people from up north and Indiana, and they came and had the second mother-daughter duo.
[00:23:58]  So that went well.
[00:23:59]  There was a lot of Protestants in this one.
[00:24:02]  So where did all the Catholic bros go?
[00:24:06]  So there used to be a lot of Catholics, but now in the South, there is not a lot of them.
[00:24:11]  One thing I can tell you, something's going on.
[00:24:13]  Why?
[00:24:14]  Because the men coming to my events from 20 to 25, they have a topic they want to talk about, and that's Nick Fuentes and the Groipers.
[00:24:24]  I got a sense of it last week.
[00:24:25]  There was a couple of Zoomers.
[00:24:27]  This week, there was a lot of them.
[00:24:28]  There was maybe seven, eight of them, and we were talking about it.
[00:24:32]  And a movement is coming.
[00:24:34]  A movement is coming.
[00:24:35]  And I can feel it.
[00:24:36]  I can feel it.
[00:24:37]  Just the men who talk to me, something is going on.
[00:24:41]  2020 is going to be an interesting year in terms of conservative politics.
[00:24:46]  So I am Gen X. I'm not a spokesperson for this.
[00:24:51]  This is a Zoomers only.
[00:24:53]  I support them.
[00:24:55]  I support the Zoomers and the Groipers.
[00:24:58]  As Gen X, I took my birthright and used it to bang around the world.
[00:25:03]  So I can't really help them.
[00:25:06]  I'm not going to even get involved.
[00:25:08]  It's their thing.
[00:25:10]  Trust in the Zoomers.
[00:25:11]  I'll say one thing about them, though.
[00:25:13]  They are very sharp.
[00:25:15]  Where they are at 21 in terms of political ability is where I was at 35.
[00:25:20]  And I'm talking to these young kids and like, how does he know all this stuff?
[00:25:24]  So I like to take some credit.
[00:25:27]  Like maybe he learned it through me.
[00:25:28]  I don't know.
[00:25:29]  But these young kids, kids, I'm just, I don't mean to insult them, but they know what's going on and I trust in them.
[00:25:36]  So may the Zoomers save us.
[00:25:39]  And I have a lot of hope in them.
[00:25:41]  Okay, so that's all I have from Nashville.
[00:25:43]  I got one more event left.
[00:25:45]  So I want to get excited, but I'm not because the race isn't finished yet.
[00:25:48]  One more event in Charlotte.
[00:25:50]  If you want to join, you can come.
[00:25:52]  That's next Saturday.
[00:25:55]  And after that, so it's going to be two more episodes.
[00:25:58]  One more episode for Charlotte, then one more final episode after that.
