Start timer.
Oh no!
Right, I need sunglasses, which I forgot.
And I need a laptop. I need loads of things.
So my plan is to leave Luke to do everything while I go get my stuff.
Sounds like our lives, bro.
Sounds like everything that we do. Enjoy!
Okay, what's happening, guys?
Apparently I'm running an emergency meeting.
I'm pretty disappointed, to be honest, because when I envisaged me being on an emergency meeting, I thought Tristan would be here.
He's not... So I had to suit up.
And my favorite part of emergency meeting is when Andrew plays that stupid little horse thing.
You know, like the naked man with the horse and takes the piss out of Tristan.
So maybe he's going to do that to me.
I don't know. Andrew said that the whole idea of this emergency meeting is for him to put me in uncomfortable situations and to ask me loads of loads of shit to make me look bad.
So I'm going to try and handle it as best as I can.
We're going to try and talk about being a warrior and fighting and the mentality it takes to be a competitor and fight in this world because that's all we have to do constantly.
So that's the main feel of it.
I think... Oh, Andrew's got his sunglasses.
So he said he's going to put me in tough situations and ask me really hard questions.
I'm not going to put you in tough situations.
I'm going to put you in very easy situations because we all know the answer.
But you're not supposed to say it because the Matrix get mad.
And then hopefully it'll go viral.
And hopefully it ends up all over TikTok and then they remove all your social media accounts and then you go to jail.
Can women drive? No.
Is that the answer? Okay, no.
We all know that we all know for a fact.
It's a fact. It is a fact, but you're not supposed to say it.
But I'm going to try and see what I can do.
And then, at the end of this episode, I'm going to play our fight.
Because not many people may know this.
You and I fought 14 years ago?
13, 14, something like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Three years ago. In South End.
We fought 15 years ago.
Am I getting old?
15 years. Your cells are listening, bro.
Don't say that you're getting old. Yeah, I'm getting stronger.
So, first I've got to play the Emergency Meeting, the Mr.
Producer song, of course. And then we're going to get into asking you questions that hopefully go viral, so hopefully you go to jail.
Perfect. Mr.
Producer. You make the best show.
Mr. Producer. Right.
To hear the clips I'm going to play, you have to wear the headphones.
So first things first, I don't know if you've seen this legend before.
I'm trying to get you in as much trouble as possible.
So you've already said women can't park.
They said they can't drive. Park's next level, bro.
Okay, so they can't park, they can't drive.
And then we're going to talk about... Your friends, Meek Mill and Puff Daddy, what they've been up to.
And then hopefully, The Matrix wants you.
Philadelphian gangsters want you dead.
Like, we're just going to get you in trouble.
That's the goal. So this is a clip of me interviewing Puff Daddy.
Tell me what you think. We bring in the studio this morning one of the gay rights activists, Mr.
Should I call you Mr? Pepe Julian Onzima.
Thank you for coming in. Thank you for having me.
Good morning. Good morning to you.
Why are you gay? Who says I'm gay?
You are gay. You are a transgender.
What shows that I'm gay?
You are a transgender and you are gay rights activist and an outspoken lesbian?
Homosexual? How can I describe you?
Now we're looking at the raging debate.
You are gay rights activist.
Why should someone be gay?
You're having a girlfriend.
Yes. Do you perform the natural obligations?
Uh... So Luke, why should somebody be gay?
I mean, the advantage is to being gay.
If I was a gay rights activist, are the fact that you cannot have children, you cannot leave a legacy, and no one will remember you and you are useless to society.
They're the advantages. Okay.
So if you want to be a useless piece of shit, you know what to do.
You need to be gay. What we need to do to stop this pandemic is we need to send fireblood to Africa, because obviously Uganda need it, because they need a huge shipment of this stuff so we can stop them from being gay.
That's true. Fireblood.
If anyone doesn't know what Fireblood is yet, you've missed my amazing advertisement.
And Fireblood is the most disgusting supplement on the face of the planet.
And I am proud of that.
I stand by my product.
This is the worst tasting product money can buy.
It's disgusting because it tastes like pain and life.
When you want something fantastic from life, it often comes through pain.
So if you want something that's good for you, with absolutely zero flavorings whatsoever, has all the minerals, all the vitamins, all the amino acids that your body needs to get bigger and stronger, and I thought I was a business genius.
I genuinely sat there and thought, why do I have to take a multivitamin where I have 100% of my vitamin BA or whatever the fuck, when I can have...
10,000%. I want 10,000% of every single vitamin.
I want all the amino acids and all the minerals and I want it all in one scoop with no flavorings and no junk whatsoever and I created it myself and I didn't intend on it tasting like puke.
But it does. It's vile.
And I stood by it.
I did not cuck out and turn it into cookie crumble flavor.
No. Fireblood.
In fact, I'm going to play the Fireblood adverts.
It's so fucking legendary and epic.
Where is it? It fucking tastes disgusting.
It does taste bad. They're gay in Uganda, so they need it.
Let me... Let me drink my Fireblood first.
Let me suffer. See, that's what I can't do.
Drink it all in one. I have to sip it and enjoy the taste.
It's great! I'm a feminist, as you all know, and I really respect the opinions of women.
And that's why I'm here in this woman's only gym to ask them what they think about my brand new product, Fireblood.
People often come up to me and say, Andrew, you're so tall and strong and smart and funny and charismatic and extremely rich, what supplements do you take?
And I explain that coffee and cigars are the only supplements I've ever needed, but perhaps as I get old I should look into them.
So I decided to do a little bit of market research and I was very disappointed by what I saw.
All of these supplements are full of chemicals I can't name.
I don't know what they are. Or they're full of flavorings.
I thought, why can't you have a product which is only the things your body needs?
Why can't you only have vitamins and minerals and amino acids?
And if you're going to do that, why not have loads of them?
I've never understood, girls if you don't mind, I've never understood why you would have 100% of your vitamin B2 when you can have 7,692% of your vitamin B2. Along with your vitamin B6 and your iodine, magnesium, zinc, copper, all the amino acids, niacin, folic acid, vitamin A, it goes on and on.
In one convenient scoop with absolutely no flavorings whatsoever.
Surely, Andrew, you're a business genius.
Why? Who hasn't thought of taking all the minerals and all the vitamins and all the amino acids and putting them in a fantastic, easy-to-use product with no flavorings whatsoever?
So I've created it, Fireblood, and we're here to see what women think of it at this Girls on the Gym.
So, girls, this is Fireblood.
This is my product. Please give us a very honest review.
Girls love it. They love it.
Don't listen to what girls say.
They don't mean it. They love it.
And that's the best thing about fire blood because you know what?
Life is pain. Everything good in life is going to be pain.
When you go to the gym, you're supposed to suffer.
Every single good thing that's going to come to you in life is going to come through pain.
Your supplement, what is good for your body, is never going to taste like cookie crumble.
It's never going to taste like strawberry cotton candy.
And if that's what you want, you are probably gay.
If you are a man and you want to be as strong as humanly possible with no garbage, only the things your body needs, then you need to get used to pain and you need to get used to suffering.
And only that way will you ever become a fraction of my power and manage to achieve Fireblood.
Fireblood tastes disgusting because it is good for you and like everything beneficial in life it is hard to swallow.
Fireblood is the most disgusting product you can buy but contains every vitamin, mineral, and amino acid required for muscle growth.
Your stomach may ache a little bit after consuming fireblood if you are a dork.
If you prefer supplements which taste of cookie crumble but are full of junk, you should probably get an AIDS test because you are gay.
It's not good at all.
It's very disgusting. I really feel to throw up when I'm drinking.
Do you want a supplement that makes you strong or do you want a supplement that tastes like candy because you're
fucking gay?
I'm super funny, but fire bloods a supplement for men It tastes terrible and it's good for you.
It's a supplement for men. It's not for girls.
For my future advertisements, I just want to walk around and go up to random hotties in Romania and just say, hey, I've invented this new supplement.
It's really good for you. Here's all the vitamins.
Try it. And just watch them all spit out all over the street.
Just watch them all go, ah, you poisoned me, you human trafficker!
Call the police. Boy, shut up!
If you want strawberry cotton candy, you're gay.
If you're a man, you want your supplement to taste like puke because you know it's good for you.
Fireblood. Available at topg.com.
Your mates need fireblood.
Your rapper friends.
Oh, yeah. Good friends of mine.
We're close. Very, very close.
So in the spirit of getting you in trouble, why are all of those who are allowed influence among the populace and allowed to be made famous gay?
Is the world run by satanic pedophiles?
Come on, Luke. Let's get to the crux of it.
The thing I've heard of, you know, I've heard this thing.
It's called adrenochrome. You heard of this?
You want to go deep? Tell me.
I don't know anything. I just thought that they're all just coincidentally...
I feel like there's some sort of cult running the world.
I feel this deep down inside my soul.
I don't know for a fact, but I just feel it.
Some sort of cult running the world, satanic, maybe run by one certain religion.
Don't know which one it is. Oh, you want to go down the aisle?
I'll pack my jail bag right now, sir!
That advert's going to send you back to jail.
We already know that. But I don't know.
I don't know why P. Diddy is asking people to bend over and touch their toes.
I do not know why...
I can't remember what his name is.
I do not know why he's saying bend over and touch your toes.
Is it gay to receive or is it gay to give?
This is another big question.
Bro, I'm not getting involved. I'm just asking you questions.
No, no, no. I'm just asking you.
I'm just asking you. The people want to know. The people want to know from the top G. I need you to say things that go viral that get you in trouble.
That's my goal. It's very difficult to get me to say things that I don't want to say.
We'll see what we can do. So you've already mentioned women can't drive.
You've already talked about the fact that there are...
There's a cult running the world.
How do you join this cult?
How do you think the world works, Luke?
Yeah, like why is everything fucked?
Why is nothing real?
Who's in charge of everything?
Come on, tell us. I'm just a dumb cage fighter, Andrew.
I don't know anything. I'm just a dumb guy.
I've been hitting the head multiple tens of thousands of times.
I do remember hitting you in that industry.
Well, so am I! So my views on the world, they might be skewed by concussions, but my understanding of it is it's run by a satanic cult that all follow one specific religion, which we're not going to name, and they, for some reason, want the world to suffer, and they want to laugh, and they want to stand above it like this and play this big game.
I feel like it's basically like having kids.
You know when you take some of a kid and she cries and you're like, shut up, but then put her back in her room.
It's kind of like the same game.
Is that human nature when you have power to just try and wield it?
Is it human nature to just prod the people you have power over a little bit just to remind them that you're in charge?
Is that human nature? I think P. Diddy prodded a lot of people he had power over.
Human nature? I don't know, Oscar's Puff Daddy.
I saw something about Justin Bieber.
That's a little clip of Justin Bieber.
I'm like, listen, bro, I don't want to hang out with you.
And he was like 15.
And Peter was like, come on, bro.
And now when you watch it, it's fucking twisted.
It's twisted. Yeah, begging people to hang out with you is a bit strange.
But I have enough enemies.
Like, it is what it is. The one thing I've always never understood about being gay is why don't you just...
Just super own it and be scary about it.
Just walk around threatening to bum everyone.
Walk around and say, don't come stay at my house, pussy.
Come anywhere near me, I dare you.
Like, be a... I'm like, shit.
Don't be all like, no, I didn't do it, and I did it on the sly.
It's all just... It's gay.
It's gay. They have strawberry cotton candy supplements.
They are not drinking fire blood.
I can confirm. In fact...
Producer who's watching this.
I'm the Mr. Producer, but there's another producer.
Can you confirm? Go through the order list and make sure nobody called Puff Daddy or Meat Mill has bought Fireblood.
Make sure. Because I'm pretty sure they haven't.
Someone sent us a super chat here saying it's funny how he didn't even deny it.
Yeah, I mean...
I don't know. He should threaten everyone with it.
His first tweet should be, yeah, I'm gay.
Stay away from me.
Unless you want to get bummed.
Unless you want to get bummed. Yeah, teach them all a lesson.
I don't know. You have to own who you are.
You have to be who you are and own who you are.
Even if that's a perverted faggot, you have to own it.
Yeah, exactly. Own it with your whole soul.
Look at this Romanian man owning who he is.
He's a hero. Have you seen this guy?
No, bro. I don't scour the internet for homos.
I don't know. What do you mean? This guy holds the world record for smoking 900 cigarettes at once.
I feel like Tristan could do this.
He's in Transylvania. He's only a few hours away.
You should have him on the emergency.
We should have him on the emergency meeting.
I would make him G of the Week because he literally holds the world record, but I found some other guy who I want to make G of the Week, which is this random Kenyan man who...
They're trying to track down because he stopped his bike and just started directing the traffic into the desert.
No one knows who he is or why he did it.
But that's gotta be legendary.
Think of how much inconvenience he cost.
Those are buses full of humans.
There's like 20 people on that bus just heading out into the desert to dehydrate and die.
Who is this guy? And they listen to him.
That's a crazy part of it.
He's a G. Just stop.
No, no, no. Enough.
This way, please.
It's amazing what you can get away with.
That's pretty funny. So he's doing a week.
He's got a picture.
I need to get a video. I don't know where the video is.
What's this other thing we've got?
Oh, have you?
So it's your friend. Tell us about your friend, because I actually don't even know who this is.
I saw Tristan talk about this, that's why I know it is.
Oh, it's Tristan's mate.
All right, let's go.
Tell us about this guy.
Hey, Wallace, look what I can do.
famous and then a fat piece of shit like Peter Griffin.
Because he got some sort of fame from being a character he decided to live his life for more
than a month or years. And he made this stupid video of him dancing like Peter Griffin
on a computer game. But Tristan's point, which was quite poignant, was like the amount of
reinforcement he's got playing this character and being this guy is going to take 30 years
off his life and he's going to die young. What a dickhead.
That's basically... Am I missing out?
Let me see if I'm missing out, because I feel like I'm missing out on something.
One second. That's enough.
I'm not missing anything. I don't know what this is about.
We're such a mess. I'm waiting for you to tell us.
I'm waiting for you to say it. Say the thing you're not allowed to say.
I don't know what the thing is I'm not allowed to say.
Do you know what it is? Okay, I'll get us in trouble.
I blame women!
I think that if it wasn't for feminism and all their emotional argument garbage, then they wouldn't be voting for all this crap.
I think the only way...
Let me give you an example. If you had a nation where only men could vote, and they came along and said, let's have no border, and then they said, we voted for the person who doesn't want a border at all, and doesn't want to protect the families and children at all, and X amount of men voted for it, you'd sit and go, that's clearly a lie.
This election is rigged. But when you have a country where men and women can vote, and they come along and say, oh, well, we voted for the guy with no border, you kind of go, oh, the chicks did it.
They're just like, ah, fucking women.
And then you just accept it.
Whether they actually did it or not, who knows?
Maybe the biggest PSYOP ever is allowing women to vote so that they can put all these stupid policies through and blame the chicks.
No man must be voting for this.
I don't believe there's a man out there who's voting for drug cartels with machine guns.
To walk across the border.
I don't think any man wants that.
Because at the end of the day, it's a man who's going to have to stick up and defend it.
Maybe I'm wrong. I just don't see it happening.
Yeah, I see like in the States now, aren't they importing immigrants and giving them guns as police?
To me, that sounds like they can't get a gun license, but if they become a police officer, which they're state funded to do, they then can get given a gun and have a firearm and have to protect other people.
And the only way that has ever happened is if a woman voted for it because it's so illogical and doesn't make any fucking sense.
The only understanding I have is the only reason they want to do that is because if they try and take away, if you try and take away an American's freedom, an American man, wherever he's from, wherever he's been, he's gonna say, fuck that, I'm not gonna go move these people out of their house, I'm not gonna go kill these people, I'm not gonna kill these American citizens.
But if some guy from, I don't want to name a country because I sound like a racist, But whatever.
Some other country comes in. I'll be right.
The one giant massive Mexico below America.
Yeah, carry on. Okay, that's what I was thinking.
South Mexico.
South Mexico. If South Mexicans come in, and they're given a gun, and they're given a life, and they're given a livelihood, and they're given money, and they're given a house, and they're given all these things, so all you've got to do to keep these things is tell everyone else to leave, then they'll do it.
So that fucks up the whole of the whole of the dynamic.
I think it's even simpler.
I think, yeah, you're right. But I think it's also just like, if someone said to me, Andrew, do you want to have a vote on whether somebody else has to clean cars?
I'd be like, oh yeah, cool. Someone else has to clean cars.
So when women vote for things, they're like, oh, well, men have to protect us.
It's not my problem to be protected.
That's a men's problem.
But I want to help the refugees.
I want to help the refugees and all the problems that come are the men's issue.
So let's vote for it.
I think that it's the biggest PSYOP in history because if men alone could vote, they wouldn't really get through away with any of this crap.
I don't know. I should look it up.
I'm sure it all went downhill from there.
Someone in the superchats will know, wouldn't it?
What year was it? Because if we know that, we can find the point that the world started going, maybe we can go back in time and change it.
Perhaps. Speaking of Super Chats, I better read them out.
They Love Clyde said, funny how Meek Mill didn't deny he's doing the gay shit after you called him out.
War Room soon. I didn't even call him out.
I just asked him a question. I said, did you do it?
And then he didn't want to reply to me.
Don't know why. So I guess it looks like we're both getting shot if we ever go to Philadelphia, which is a shame because I couldn't wait.
I was really excited to go to Philadelphia.
As soon as I get free from this Matrix attack, the first place I'm going to go is Philly.
18, doing door-to-door sales in the real world.
Also in a fight gym. My struggle is I can't sleep at night without working until very late, but that means a lot of times I miss the 5.30 gym.
What do I do? Get up.
I mean, what do you do? Get up.
If you're too tired to go to sleep at night, you're obviously not too tired to get up in the morning.
Stop making excuses and get up and do it.
You're supposed to be tired. Wait, wait, wait.
18. You're tired at 18.
Were you ever tired at 18?
Doesn't exist, bro. It's all in the mind.
Fucking bullshit. If you're tired at 18, imagine when you're fucking in your 30s and your 40s and you've got to grind like a real man and you have actual responsibilities.
And kids. You have no responsibility except yourself.
And if you're saying that you're tired and you can't get up to go to the gym, you sound like you need fire blood.
Yeah, 100%. You sound gay.
Why are you gay? I'm tired.
I'm 18 and I need to go to sleep.
Why are you gay? You do not need to go to sleep at 18.
It's impossible. We bring in the studio this morning one of the gay rights activists, Mr...
should I call you Mr? Pepe!
So you are 18 years old?
Why did you not go to the gym?
Why are you gay? I'm tired.
Yeah, tired. That's bullshit. And then we have the other super chat.
The guy said he's coming to the War Room soon, which is interesting because we can talk about the War Room and we're going to talk about how you and I first met.
We'll talk about how it led on to our fantastic friendship and how you joined the War Room and all these other things.
But I'm thinking maybe we should start with our fight.
Oh, yeah. Should we start with our fight?
Let me see if I can download it.
Yes. 15 years ago.
Was it 15? 14 years ago or 13 years?
Well, it's all the same. Time doesn't mean shit.
I can't remember last month, let alone this.
So yeah, Luke and I, so what's the story of our fight?
I'll tell you the story of our fight because you'll lie.
So the story of our fight is back in the day before YouTube, before the internet, before everyone being scared to fight anybody because they had some Instagram and they did some kick that was impressive or whatever.
My gym and my coach, I had a fight after training for six months, got my jaw broken in the first round, came back here, got my jaw broken in the first round, went back to my corner and said to my coach, I think my jaw is broken.
He said, open your mouth. I opened my mouth.
He said, no, you just cracked a tooth.
I went back out in the second round.
I knocked the guy out. I come back.
My coach goes, come on, bro. We've got to go to the hospital.
You broke your jaw. So the mentality when we were fighting back in the day is very, very different to then.
So I had a broken jaw, a couple of eight weeks wired shut.
I unwired my own jaw because I couldn't be able to go to the hospital because I was lazy.
And I just wanted to train, train, train, train, train.
Then I got offered a fight against some guy called Andrew Tate.
And I knew nothing about him.
There is no internet. I cannot research anything.
I cannot look anything up. And my coach just said to me, he's just some kickboxer.
Just take him down. You'll be fine.
Isn't it weird how it's the same for me.
They're like, you're going to fight some guy.
His name's Luke. He's tall.
I'm like, you know, I'm tall. It's fine.
I don't know you're that fucking tall.
And you just turned up to random events, not knowing who you were going to fight.
They're just like, I think it might be him or it might be him.
And you just walk into the cage and see who's in there and start swinging.
Bro, the olden days of fighting was a different mentality.
Totally different. But then at that point in time, I'd been training for like 10 months.
Like an absolute madman, obviously.
And I was fighting this kickboxer.
How many fights do you think you had at that point?
MMA fights? I think it was my first pro or semi-pro MMA fight.
Kickboxing matches? Maybe 30-something?
Yeah, 30-something. That was the answer that I was looking for.
I'd had one boxing and I'd had one MMA and I was doing alright.
So I went into this fight like...
I remember it's the only fight in my whole career and my whole life that I missed weight for because...
You have to cut weight in MMA. Come to go and do it.
It's fucking long. But I ate a fucking flapjack in the middle of the night and I couldn't cut the weight in the morning because I was so hungry at night.
I woke up and I'm down the scales and I was like two kilos over or whatever it was.
And the promoter, Alex, turns to you and goes, oh, he's overweight.
What do you want to do? He said, fuck him.
I'm going to beat him anyway. And walked out the room like a proper arrogant prick.
Yeah. That sounds like the kind of thing I would say.
Nothing's changed, bro. Fuck him, I'll be him anyway.
Just walked out. Yeah, it turned out to be harder than I thought.
I should have made you cut weight.
I should have stood there and made you sauna it out.
I should have been a real prick. But back then, there was none of this.
Like, nowadays, no one would fight if it was overweight.
They don't need to know who they're fighting, and they do all the research, etc.
The number of times I turned up to fight people, and I literally...
The entire weigh-in process, everything going on before the fight, the rules meeting, etc.
I thought I was fighting someone else because I didn't even know what anyone looked like.
And then I get into the cage and it was literally a different person.
So you have no idea who you're fighting back then.
We're going to cut the Twitter feed, guys.
If you want to see me and Luke and our MMA fight 15 years ago, you're going to have to come to Rumble exclusively at Tate Speech.
We're going to cut the Twitter feed. So yeah, then we fought.
You were tall. I remember you were super tall.
Super tall. Six foot six.
Giant. Giant of a man.
An absolute specimen. And then I worked out that you had a brown bow in judo.
Yeah. Bro, I've been around.
I'm all right. So, we're going to watch the fight.
I mean, it's embarrassing to watch because...
Nah, it's not embarrassing. We were both young.
Yeah, young. First couple of fights.
Yeah, bring it room. It's a emergency.
We don't care. This is the Shisha guy.
We don't want to dox him because if we dox him, all the weirdos are going to turn up.
So, this is Andre.
He's the Shisha guy in Bucharest.
We don't want to give away his name or his address.
I think he lives somewhere in Papara.
But if you want to find him...
Because when you stalk my house, armed guards put guns in your face.
But if you stalk the Shisha guy, you might be able to get...
Go get him. Leave us alone.
But I think that your 20s, there's nothing better to do with your time besides fight, especially back then, because nowadays all these 20-year-old kids are on Twitter trying to be life coaches.
What do you know about life at 21?
Nothing anyway. But back then, there was no internet.
There was no money to be made.
There was no dropshipping. There was nothing to do with your 20s and your masculine prowess besides use all of your energy and your Wolverine healing abilities.
And this 18-year-old who says he's tired...
He has no idea how tired he's going to get as he gets older.
You need to change that mentality.
But we both spent our 20s just beating the shit out of people, which I think was a pretty good basis for our current brilliance.
I think suffering is a big thing that you learn out of fighting.
And for me, like, after that fight, He thinks he won.
You're going to watch. So when we watch the fight, he thinks he won.
All the other people in the audience think he won.
I think I won. So it's fine.
No, I think it was a draw.
It was a draw. Two rounds.
We'll get to see. But he thinks he won.
After that fight, I started taking fighting seriously.
I really, really... I'm fucking losing it.
I'm the most competitive man alive.
So when I lost, it hit me deep, deep, deep, deep down in my soul.
And then I started taking fighting seriously.
And I left my job, moved into the gym, slept on the floor, long old but boring story that I'm sure I'll tell.
And yeah, and it really made me focus.
I was fucking 20 years old or 19 years old or something crazy.
And it gave me the motivation and the fire to become something and to be somebody.
And I think now people are just scared to do anything.
They're scared to even fucking talk to people let alone a fight with somebody
It's just crazy how soft the world has become absolutely and it's the losses which are gonna be transformative
It's only the losses if you would have won that fight You wouldn't have trained as hard afterwards and then you
may not have gone to the UFC and all of the things you did and
The ultimate fighter and all these people you beat it's amazing
How a loss can be transformative and how the bad things that happen to us like I've said endless times are the most
powerful Building blocks that you're gonna require to be a man of
substance. So let's play this fight and Oh, we can talk over it. Yeah, let's do it. Let's talk over
it. Let's put us in the corner.
Ian Freeman, if anyone knows.
The Machine! I didn't sell any.
I just turned up.
Where's my money? Who am I fighting?
And at this point in my career, I hadn't told anyone, like, I hadn't told my mom or my dad that I was fighting.
So I sold tickets to my mates, my cousins came, all that sort of stuff.
Who's this big lanky cunt?
Look at that guy. Animal.
Animal. I need to make it smaller.
You can see... My team there, Tsunami Gym from Cambridge.
To be honest, we could talk about fighting all day long, but without these guys, I would never have done anything, because I was so fortunate with Jack there in the background.
He took me to the right gym, and these guys were all animals at the time.
One of them was a couple of champions and local events, all that sort of stuff.
But these were my training partners, all 5'10 wrestlers.
So I thought, and I started training, As a short wrestler, even though I was six foot six, couldn't throw a punch, didn't know what I was doing, but I did jujitsu and wrestling for most of my time.
I look in shape though. You do look in shape, yeah.
Look how confident I am.
I've had one fight, I feel in the ring, I know what I'm doing.
Good old days. And now we get to see, I was laughing, because this is when Andrew was my enemy.
Now we differentiate when he's my enemy and when he's my friend.
We're still enemies. Oh, we're still enemies, okay, of course.
We're in a friendly way.
We're friendly enemies now.
It's when he had fucking hair.
Look at this guy. Look at this guy with that haircut.
Master Amir. Look how small Amir is.
I know. Fucking forever ago, bro.
Tristan. Different life, bro.
It's crazy. I've lived a thousand lives since this.
Yeah, I know. It's mental.
The idea, if you were to tell a kid nowadays, you're going to go to a random location to fight a random person, and you don't even know what they look like, nobody would do it.
Even the fighters, they'd be like, no, I need to know who he is, I need to look him up, I need to, what's his this, what's his that?
We didn't have a clue, it was just fight this guy.
I started a management company a couple years ago, I got like 127 players, and trust me, it's not easy to get them to say yes to having a fight.
I bet. Everyone's worried about how they look.
Yep, yep. Let's see if the format's better.
Lean mostly. Why am I nervous?
Because that's the secret to this emergency meeting.
We have to do it again at the end.
My heart is in my throat right now.
The rest will take you down in a bit.
Yeah, well...
I'm 120 kilos, bro.
Well... Body shots tomorrow.
...do just enough for the takedown, because that's where his forte is.
My left leg used to be so fast.
Yeah, I think I instantly thought this is annoying.
Can't we just punch each other in the face?
Ooh, look at that faint. Superman punch.
Gee. I was strong, bro.
Pushed you up. Yeah, you were strong.
You're still strong. To be honest, I'm disappointed you've got a hoodie on.
I thought you'd be like, showing the flesh.
Nah. I've been watching a lot.
This is basically what was like the Tsunami style.
It was like, get them up against the fence, smother them, pummel, get underhooks, because back in the day, no one could wrestle.
Didn't know how to do any wrestling, especially in England.
Now everyone knows what they're doing. Back then, we had like the secret sauce, but I think your athleticism just...
Well, I'm a striker. You did the right thing.
You grabbed me, put me up against the cage, and you just made it hard for me.
That's exactly what you're supposed to do.
In a minute, I'm going to find out that you've got a brown bow in Judah.
I think you'd toss me. Yeah, they're staying a lot in a 50-50 grip there.
Good little shoulder shrugs from Luke, actually.
See, so I'm winning this round.
We can all agree so far in this round that I'm winning.
I've been pressuring, especially back then in the old days, how they used to judge fights.
Cage control, pressure up against the fence, just for the fans at home watching.
But this was your first MMA fight, I think.
Yeah. Before this, you just kickboxing.
Yeah. Great knee from Luke.
That hurt. That hurt because I shot.
I managed to sprawl out of it, though.
Oh, beautiful set out. This is one I think I'm bloody now already, just from that one blitz.
Yeah, I think I hit you. I caught you a few times.
This is my problem for the whole of my career.
See that jab as I step left?
I kept doing that for years.
Caught you there. Oh, good shot, that one.
Up against the fence. Yeah, this is the most annoying.
Annoying. Super annoying.
So again, takedown.
That used to count big in the judges' eyes.
It's so funny because there's so many people that I meet nowadays and they all ask me, can Andrew actually fight?
This was 15 years ago or 14 years ago when you're having MMA fights and then you had 80 kickboxing matches.
Everyone thinks it's a lie that you can't fight.
This is so long ago.
Yeah, we were babies, we were fighting, let alone now.
It's just so funny how people have that perception.
You even got, like, a half-part fly guard.
I commentate for a living now.
Yeah, do it. Commentate. I don't have a clue what I'm fucking doing.
Tell it. I just want to punch you in the face.
I was like, oh. I got to get out of here.
I'm trying to pass to the right-hand side, but the cage is hindering me at the moment, so I can't.
Now I think I try and pass when you get up.
You just get up with sheer athleticism.
You just push me off at one point.
But still. It's called Aikido.
I still don't know where we're at, but I'm winning.
I pass, pass the guard, get side control, then I get, this is where I get reversed.
This is gay. Gay.
Proper gay. And then you do, oh, no, I bump out, so it's good.
Yeah, you literally just lifted me off you.
Yeah, lifted you off me and got up.
Caught me there. Caught you with a good left hand.
Circling out. Andrew takes good control of the cage.
You don't use your legs yet. There it is.
That was that kick, I remember that.
Good thing your glove was up. We nice knee, gets bullied back down again.
This is before. I was called the big slow for a reason.
Because I was big. And I was slow.
The big slow. That was a joke over the big show.
It was one of my training partners called me.
Set out. Misses it.
Andrew gets back up. Still winning the round, guys.
I'm still winning the round. I kicked you and jabbed you.
Called you twice. You did.
You did kick me and jabbed me.
That's why I'm still punchy to this day.
Nice knee.
Andrew turns it around.
Listen, in the comments, let's say, who won that round?
Who won that round? Yeah, you could have won that round.
Could have won that round, perhaps.
It's true. It's true. You could have won that round.
Look how tight I am. People who've never fought have absolutely no idea how tiring fighting is.
We had a war room guy fight the weekend in Dubai and he won in the second round by knockout.
In the first round he was like...
Like dying.
They don't understand the adrenaline dump and everything else involved.
Especially with the grappling. I can't remember.
This fight was only on three or four weeks notice.
Did we do a full camp for this fight?
Did you? I don't think we did.
I had ten fights in a year, so I never had a full camp.
My first year of fighting from the first one to the tenth, I had ten amateur fights.
I went nine and one.
Some cunt beat me.
He sounds handsome.
I had ten fights in a year.
Ten in a year, brother.
Good old days. No one's doing that nowadays.
Three years active. Oh, there's that high kick.
And hits me with a one-two.
Two-piece there as well. I sneak in the little punches.
That's what it is. I just get to sneak in enough of them.
Speed. Nice knee. Controlling the body with that left side underhook.
Going for the leg reap, which was my move.
And I fall over. That became my thing.
That leg reap became my thing.
But obviously, I was just testing.
Goes for the lockdown on the right leg.
Trying to elevate with that left leg.
Turning for Kimura. Does it.
Beautiful work on the bottom from Luke Barnett.
This is quite fun. And I just get up.
I was like, ah, this guy doesn't like jiu-jitsu.
No, I don't like jiu-jitsu, no.
I didn't come to hug. Nice uppercut, landing on the inside.
Yeah, this is when...
Knee, hook.
Now Luke is cut here. Andrew goes for a head-high kick, left-head-high kick.
Big shout out to the actual commentator there as well, Pierre Goulet, American friend of mine.
He was one of my coaches and great friend.
I haven't seen him in years. Hope he's good.
Again, going for the sit-out and complete sit.
Yeah, it worked this time. It worked.
What's that called? A sit-out.
A sit-out. When you double leg, you go to your knees, you sit through or sit out, however you want to call it.
Circled beautifully. But then I think you just get up again.
So going side choke. He's exposed the elbow.
And then I use my masterful superhuman strength.
Is that what I do? Basically, yeah.
I just... I just... Here we go!
Get the fuck off of me!
Gay! This is gay!
Sorry, I don't want an RB contract.
Get off me. I just muscle my way out.
Stand up. Come fight for real.
Come fight for real! It's a real fight with punches and kicks.
Come do it. Yeah, I missed that one, though.
When you watch this back, how do you feel?
It's amazing how well I was inexperienced.
Of course, I was new and I wasn't ready for an MMA fight and I can see it.
But I'm glad I did it, man.
I don't know. I just feel proud of myself.
I'm glad that past Andrew went through all this crap so I don't have to do it anymore.
I remember, because obviously you remember all your losses, but after this fight, I think you had a pro fight against someone called Dragon.
Yeah, and I sparked him. You sparked him hard in the first round, and I was like, oh, thank God that wasn't me.
Nice jab. Yeah, yeah, I did.
I knocked him out. I changed my training to deal with this whole wrestling thing.
I thought I could just punch him, but it doesn't work like that.
He's got my ankle there.
Low entry on that leg.
Your face is kind of messed up though.
It doesn't look like I've landed very much, but I must hit hard because it's pretty...
I think that was the deciding thing in the fight.
I don't think it's that I controlled the ring or controlled the cage or anything.
I think just afterwards they looked at your face and they're like, okay.
Those little punches he landed must have done a lot because there was a lot of blood.
I'm trying to peek out to the back, but I'm useless and shit at this point in my life.
But yeah, controlling on the bottom, frustrated.
Yeah, it's annoying.
Wrestling against someone when you don't want to wrestle is the most annoying thing in the world.
It's like, get off me. Leave me alone.
Let's fight for real. What is this shit?
Adam Tate still has control of the head here Luke is going to have to peel that off.
Posture up. You're grabbing my neck.
You haven't got a clue what you're doing, but you're grabbing my neck thinking you're trying to threaten a guillotine.
Correct. Trying to go crossbody.
Try to pass. Beautiful pass.
Ah, it regains and I get flicked over.
Every time I do something good, I do something terrible.
Yeah, it's just brute strength off and get off me.
Leave me alone. That's right, get up.
And that's it. That's two rounds.
Two rounds in the bag. You look disappointed.
You think you lost. You're sitting there now thinking you lost, right?
Yeah, I don't remember. I remember being very annoyed.
Thinking I didn't even get to fight.
I just got grabbed and it went down.
I didn't even get to fight properly.
Where was the fighting in all of this?
Who's this other guy on the corner?
Ah, Kieran is some guy who used to go to the gym.
Why am I so tired? Because fighting sucks, bro.
Fighting is hard. I think this front kick lands when you shoot in.
At this point, I didn't have a boxing coach.
I didn't hit pads. I didn't know nothing.
Let's see who wins. Can I give it to the guy in the blue shorts?
Yeah, it was close. One of hundreds.
In the blue corner, Andrew Hayes!
Ah, bullshit! It was rigged.
It was rigged. I'm the one who sold the tickets.
Give me the win! You didn't lose again after that forever, did you?
Uh, until I... What happens after that for you?
Because I just continued having endless kickboxing matches, and I remember my next fight after that.
I do remember my next kickboxing match.
I remember being so glad he couldn't grab me.
I remember punching him going, this is great.
Ha ha ha! He's not going to shoot.
I don't have to sprawl.
I can just punch him in his face.
This is amazing. It's such a different game.
But for me, like I said, I went on and had eight more amateur fights.
And I went nine and one in that year, whatever year that was.
And then from there, there was this guy.
I can't remember his name. Chris something.
And he had like a mohawk and tattoos on the side of his head.
And I was like, I don't like this guy.
And one of my teammates beat him.
And he was 16 and 8 as a pro or something like that.
And I was like, I want to fight him as my professional debut.
And my coach was like, no way.
He's way too experienced.
We don't do that. We try and build.
I was like, no, I know I'll beat him.
Just give me the fight. So we end up organizing this fight.
I got paid 500 pounds.
Nice. Falling.
Falling. First pro fight.
It was in Brentwood.
And... I got my bell rang in the first round to come back and win in the second round, which was basically my entire career.
I didn't start fighting until I got hit really, really hard.
And I won that fight. Then from there, I went on.
I'll tell the story. I like to talk.
Sure, go. So, when I started mixed martial arts at the very beginning, before that fight, I was friends with a guy called Fabio Ferrari.
Yes, that's his real name.
Half Italian, half Brazilian.
Got all the pussy. Like, all of it.
Like, every...
He was in Cambridge, or Peterborough, everything.
Walked into a room, he was a bodybuilder, ripped, cage fighter, everything.
Like, yeah. He could not compete.
So this guy I looked up to quite a lot.
We were good friends. And then he fought a guy called Matteo Paran.
And it was the first ever MMA fight I went to live.
And he beat him, I believe, in the second round.
But he got... It was like a war.
Like, blood everywhere.
Battered. Elbows in the head.
Like, it was a crazy fight.
And I remember thinking... I want to do this.
Don't know why, but I want to do this.
So then I started training with him a little bit and whatever.
Then I fought you, had all these fights.
I had my pro debut, beat this Chris guy.
And then I went on and won another three.
And I was 4-0.
And I was like, I want to fight Matty Oparan.
I want to complete the cycle.
Like, I saw this guy. He was in my weight class, blah, blah, blah.
So I ended up getting a fight with Matty Oparan in the same arena, in the same cage, in the same hall as I fought you, in Southend on UWC. I fight this Matty Oparan guy, and I was so...
I felt like it was my destiny to beat this guy.
So I launched myself at him, hit him with a flying knee, and I remember I elbowed his head like three times.
He fell down, and I jumped down and elbowed him on the ground and won by knockout.
Didn't do that to me, though, did you, Luke?
I did not. Didn't do that to me, though, did you?
I did not. I did not.
So that was, like, my big, big win, big moment.
I didn't even get hurt. It was a great fight for me.
Matteo's a great guy. It was all good.
Then after that, at this point, so...
As we're telling the story of suffering and all the things you've got to do.
And with like these 18, 19, 20 year old kids making money on TikTok and all this other crap.
Let's not talk about making money on TikTok.
Sorry, man. I know it's like a human trafficking.
But yeah, making money online, doing all these things.
I was living in the gym, giving up my job, giving up my life, slept on the floor in the Tsunami gym for like two years, two and a half years.
Ended up getting a bed behind reception, thanks to Nigel, the guy who owned the gym.
And I- You had a bed? I had a bed after two and a half years of sleeping on the mat.
Living the dream. Living the dream, bro.
Behind reception. So I didn't have a, like, you didn't really have, there was no Instagram, none of that shit back then.
Imagine trying to go to the club and pull some girl and take her back to a gym to sleep on the floor.
Let's say my dating life wasn't the best.
Let's just put it that way. Anyway, so from there and sleeping on the floor, I ended up beating Matty O'Paran and dedicating my entire life and existence to fighting and to violence.
And I went on to get on the TV program called The Ultimate Fighter.
So I flew.
I didn't have the money to go to the trials.
The trials were in Vegas.
You had to physically be there for these trials.
So I had to borrow money off my gran.
And my good friend, Mika, who ended up being the best man at my wedding, he lent me a thousand pounds, and my grand gave me a thousand pounds.
So I had two grand, rich!
And I was going to buy my flights to Vegas, got a hotel, and three or four days or a week before I was flying, Mika was like, there's no way I can let you go to Vegas and not come with you.
So Mika flew with me.
And we went to these tryouts, and you have to hit pads, grapple, whatever.
There's three stages to the tryouts, pads, grappling, and then interview.
And I obviously smashed the interview.
So they picked me and I decided to go on the show.
From there, I went on the show.
I fought Nicholas Koring, who's one of Nick Diaz's training partners or training guys or whatever you want to call it, to get on the show.
Smashed him and got picked as the number one pick on the Ultimate Fighter 17 with my coach was Chael Sonnen, Chael Pete.
Uncle Chael, that's why me and him get on so well because I spent a lot of time with him.
And then... From there, I had a couple of fights on the show, and I got my opportunity to fight in the UFC on my 25th birthday, April 13th, which is what one of my affirmations and manifestation and all that bullshit of goals was to be in the UFC by the time I was 25.
I remember, this is a completely random memory, I remember we fought, and then...
Obviously, we didn't really see each other that much after that.
And then I remember seeing a video of you that went viral on Facebook or something about you talking about how strict your diet was in the morning.
Do you know what video I'm talking about?
It was you, and you were like, if you want to be at this weight, you have to eat this strictly, whatever, whatever.
And I remember seeing it on Facebook going, why is he in Vegas?
I'm still with fucking Luton.
Why is he in Vegas? I've had like 30 fights since.
I'm still in this shithole. Why is he in Vegas?
I remember seeing it. Well, it's like, when I, at that stage of my career, I remember, because I... I was eating...
When I lived on the floor in my gym, I was eating, and as the chicken, a whole chicken and a bag of rice every day.
It cost like four pounds.
So you get rotisserie chicken.
I had no cooking, no microwave, none of that bullshit.
Cut the chicken in half. I had chicken and rice for breakfast, chicken and rice for dinner.
That's how I lived. Then I got on this show, and I was flown from where I lived to Vegas.
I lived in a mansion with 14 other guys on the show, and they give you this piece of paper.
This is probably the story, you know. They give you this piece of paper, and...
They said, write down what you want, and it'll be in the fridge tomorrow.
And I was like, what?
They're like, whatever you want. And all the guys on the show all live good lives.
They're writing down steak, sushi, all this.
And I was just like... Chicken and rice.
Because I didn't know what else to eat because I've been so conditioned to be that guy, right?
So I was boring, fuck. By the end of the eight-week TV program, I was eating everything.
I was copying from other people because I didn't really know, right?
So anyway, fast forward.
Show was great. I fought a guy called Dylan Andrews and I lost.
That was the first time I lost since I fought you.
So I had eight amateurs, five pros plus two.
It was like two and a half years, three years.
So whatever. Went undefeated.
Then I got my opportunity to fight in UFC on my birthday.
I won that fight.
And I told this story to you at dinner the other day.
On that fight when I won, I got handed three checks.
You get handed your fight money to appearance fee.
It was $8,000, I think.
Then my win money was $8,000.
But from the show, I won $25,000 because...
Me and Dylan had this amazing fight.
So we get three checks, 8, 8 and 25k.
And they say, if you go to the casino, you can cash this check and they will give you cash.
And I was like... Okay, so I put two in my pocket, 8K or 10K or whatever it was, cash, $10,000 in my hands.
I've been sleeping on the floor eating chicken and rice.
I got 10K. What do you do with 10K in Vegas?
You've got to go gambling, haven't you?
You gotta have some fun.
And yeah, I don't think even in the modern world now, that jump of sleeping on the floor,
being a nobody, having no money, training every day, eating chicken and rice,
to all of a sudden having 10 grand out of absolutely nowhere.
Even I've had a few experiences kind of like that, where I literally couldn't pay the rent
and then you win a fight and you have this big chunk of money.
And especially with the elation that comes after winning fights.
And you're like, I'm the man.
I can fight as much as I want.
I'll fight again tomorrow. I'll get more money.
So there's a mentality where you have almost no respect for the money.
It's very weird. You have to understand.
25th birthday. UFC debut.
Win. 45k.
Whatever it was. In my hands.
Like, best day of my life.
At that moment in time. There's no competition in any way.
Best day of my life. 25k.
Anyway, what ends up happening, which I kind of regret now, I went out with Robbie Olivier, one of my coaches.
He was a Vanilla Ice fan.
So we went to go see Vanilla Ice, who probably now was a fag.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's as gangster as you can get.
You won your UFC fight and you went to a Vanilla Ice concert.
And we ended up singing Ice Ice Baby with Vanilla Ice.
I'll never forget it. It was unbelievable.
But yeah, now he's probably part of the P Diddy crew.
I don't know. I don't know the affiliations.
I don't know anything about rap. So from that, I got absolutely wasted.
White girl wasted or whatever you call it.
I don't know. Trashed. And as you would in Vegas.
And I remember walking back to my hotel.
Hotels were in my hotel room.
They're all in casinos in Vegas.
So you have to walk through the gambling pit.
And I had all this money.
And I just went up to this guy.
He was playing this game where you throw dice.
I was like, what's this game?
It's called Craps. How do you play?
Oh, you pick numbers.
I was smashed.
And I just said, I'll just copy you.
Whatever you do, I'll do.
Because he seemed like he was doing the right thing.
So anyway, put down my money.
I don't think I had the 10 grand left, whatever money I had left.
And I end up being up.
And I just, I made a load of money.
I go back to my room, I fall asleep, and I've got the picture somewhere.
I fall asleep holding the gambling chips, like the poker, not poker chips, the casino chips, for the money.
And I fell asleep on a chair like this.
And my teammate John comes in and wakes me up.
What's this? I'm like, I won loads of money last night.
So 25th birthday, UFC debut, won my debut in the UFC, got given 45k and I made five or six thousand dollars on top gambling.
So it was a very, very, very, very, very, very good day.
Next day, I could talk for days, just so you know.
Next day, go out to Hyde or something like that, some club in Vegas with my friend Josh, meet some banging chick, end up taking her to New York with me.
And when you say about wasting money, I was in New Jersey to watch Chow Sonnen versus Jon Jones, who I'd been training with for six months, whatever it was, with her, and I was a baller, right?
Got 45K, no problem.
I'm 50, 50K, because I made the five with the gambling.
G, smashed it.
So with this girl, I'm like, let's go shopping.
I didn't buy her anything. I bought myself a lot of stuff.
But I decided to get a private car.
Like, I thought it was just a taxi.
But I was staying in the W in New Jersey.
And I said, oh, can I get a taxi to take?
Do you want a private car? Do you want a W? Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
Whatever. Whatever. Doesn't matter. And then I was there for like six days.
And I had this taxi every day.
Drive me wherever I want to go. Wait outside the shop for me.
I'd go in, spend a bit of money, come back.
All that sort of stuff. I got the bill at the end of the hotel.
And it was $1,000 a day to have this taxi.
$1,000 a day.
And I was like, because the girl was there.
I was like, Ah, no problem!
I was dead inside.
So I've gone from sleeping on the floor to spending $5,000 on a taxi in a week.
That's how your life can change.
Well, that's a pretty cool... That's a pretty cool week.
That's a pretty cool week. And I think that's also very important why we talk about...
Because the story is long and it goes on for a very long time, how we met again and how you ended up in the war room, etc.
But we talk about how important physical violence is and testing each other.
And that's what the war room is all about.
And I think there's an event... There was an event last week right?
Let's play the video of the event and you can tell everyone about it.
Let me get the video.
Tell them about the event last week.
Because one of our guys was fighting.
Yeah, so we had a guy called Alan Graves fight in Dubai.
So we arranged an event where it was themed around boxing.
He was fighting on a Sunday night. We had the event on a Saturday night.
And it was themed around suffering, basically.
And we had a bunch of guys sign up, a bunch of guys come.
And we were doing a three-hour session in the Dubai Heat outside at Tam Khan's gym.
Big shout out to Tam Khan. Another guy from UWC in South End.
Legend. Back in the day.
And we trained at his spot.
We had about 40 guys come.
And I brought these two African guys from Cameroon.
You might see in the video, oh, here's me.
Let's listen to me. Alright, let's listen to our friend Luke.
And just pretend to flex and all that bullshit.
Buying a suit and looking cool is not what the war room is about.
And the more places I visit, the more I see that culture kind of growing.
So I'm super happy that you guys came.
And some of you guys can fight.
Some of you can't. Sweet.
It's not about that.
It's just about showing up, doing something hard to earn the reward.
Everyone's just going straight to the reward.
You know? It's not about that.
It's about fucking doing the work.
And that's the Andrews' Message.
Thank you.
Outro Music Yeah, that's one of the fantastic things about being a war
room member is that you get the shit kicked at you.
It's the best part. And it's really important what you said there about putting on a suit and putting on a cigar and renting a Lambo and driving around.
All of those things, and I've said this a million times, you're trying to signal that you have money.
You're trying to signal that you have wealth.
But money is an amplifier.
It's not going to change who you are.
It's only going to amplify who you are.
And if you're the kind of person who will turn up to a random sports hall and fight somebody who you don't know who they are and get in there and do your absolute best to destroy that man, and if you're the kind of person who will go then on to the UFC or go on to be a kickboxing world champion because you don't give up and you keep training and then you get rich, you have a different aura about you than the person who skips all that part And wants to look like a G. So they get the Lambo and they get the cigar and they get the suit.
But they skip all the hardship.
And you know what? Predators and women have this amazing sense.
I'll tell you something. You may be able to fool a bunch of geeks.
You may. You may be able to fool a bunch of geeks with your suit and your cigar standing around.
But unless you've been through some difficult things, the men who have been through difficult things and women will smell it on you.
And they'll just look at you and go, he's a poser.
He's fake. And the worst thing you can do is signal to be something you're not when you're not really about it.
I saw this. I think I tweeted this on one of my old Twitter accounts.
Some guy was talking about some gangster shit.
And I said, listen, you don't want to be in that world unless you're really about it.
Unless you're ready to grab a knife and stab someone in the neck because it's on site and you'd have a problem with them.
You don't want to talk gangster.
You don't want to be gangster. You don't want to pretend to be something you're not.
You don't want to pretend to be wealthy and pretend to be a G because eventually someone's going to check you.
And if you're not really about it, you're going to then get either hurt or you're going to cower or your reputation is going to crumble.
You can only fake and lie for so long.
God is going to reveal the truth of us all.
And the truth about you should be that you're a brave person.
And that's what's so important inside the war.
And we have a lot of guys with a lot of money who are inside of it.
Money is easy. If you If you want to make money, you can join the war room and make money.
That's easy. But to truly test yourself so the money has value, that's the important part.
Because I'll tell you this now, man.
Being rich is great. But being rich without all the other accolades, without the bravery, without the struggle, without the fact that you're not afraid of anybody, without all the hard things you've been through, without all the difficulty, money alone isn't interesting.
In fact, it just makes you a coward and it makes you a target.
That's all it does. And that's why the war room is so fantastic.
And I love when you beat the shit out of everyone.
Thank you, Luke. I appreciate that. And finding these African guys to punch everyone in the face.
It was amazing. Great job.
I appreciate that. But I just want to say, like, we talk about this and talk about emotions.
Andrew talks about it all the time. And for me, you can think about all the emotions in the world, but the most important emotion to have control over is anger.
Because if you're happy, Everyone around you is going to benefit from you being happy.
If you're sad, that can turn into anger.
If you've got despair, if you're embarrassed, all these things, it's going to turn to anger.
And you're going to have ups and downs in life.
And when you have those problems in your life, you need to be able to control it and make decisions under pressure.
And that is what fighting does.
So that's why we...
We put people through this. We break people down.
We did 30 rounds of sparring.
30 rounds of sparring in Dubai in the heat against two 90 plus kilos.
One of them was 122 kilo African professional fighters.
Going to be fighting in the UFC. Very, very soon.
So highest level of highest level you can imagine.
And some guys had never even put gloves on before.
But it's not about the level that you're at.
We want to break you down and we want to test you and see if you're going to cower, see if you're going to run.
And then you get built back up by the brotherhood, by the people, by everything.
It's the ethos that makes the war room so different from every other group of men.
I always get asked, oh, I'm part of loads of groups and they seem boring.
It's like, it's not about money.
It's not about the next business deal or the next percent you're going to make on this.
It's about making yourself a better man.
Absolutely. And the best way to make yourself a better man is to face fear.
It doesn't have to be fighting.
It could be a million different things.
But if you're not afraid, like you said, to go to Southend, fight some dude that you never heard of or never met before, and step in there, never seen him, and fight another skilled fighter, trust me, you're not afraid of going to some business meeting or talking to some girl or doing anything like that.
So the reason we use fighting specifically is because the speed you need to make decisions under pressure and the fear that it makes you feel.
And Look, I sparred with those big Africans.
And trust me, I'm scared.
I'm a veteran, 18 years, whatever.
And I'm thinking, fuck, but I'd do it anyway because I know I've got to do it.
I'm going to do another 30 rounds.
Now I want to fight. Well, that's it.
But you can only fake it for so long.
And the bottom line of humanity, especially amongst men and masculinity, has always been the ability to protect.
That's the bottom line of masculinity.
It doesn't matter what you have.
If you can't protect those you care about and those you love, and if you're not prepared to stand up and say, no, that's enough, we're going to have to have a physical confrontation here, then you're not really going to be a man.
And that is one of the most important tenets of masculinity, like I said, that predators and especially other women can sense.
And we use fighting because we have a fighting background.
The War Room does it with lots of different ways.
There's lots of different ways we test people and put them through things which they find hard to do or scary to do so they can become better versions of themselves because then you get to upgrade your character.
A millionaire gets to turn up to this event.
He's already rich. He already has everything.
But he leaves with a different ethos.
He leaves being a different person.
He feels different inside.
He walks differently. He acts differently.
And his life improves as a result.
And I have endless videos here of you yelling at people about fighting.
Here. We also have lunch.
Here we go. There's another one.
And I think a lot of people understood.
A lot of people have heard about the test.
I did it. So I told everybody inside the war room.
We're going to play the videos now because that was a lot of fun.
I told everybody inside the war room.
To prepare themselves mentally and physically for a test.
This was just before I was arrested last year.
And everybody turned up, not sure what they were going to go through, not sure what they were prepared for.
And they all had to fight professional cage fighters.
And they had the choice to pussy out.
And some men decided not to fight.
And the ones who decided not to fight had to sit there and explain to everybody why they were not brave enough to take the fight.
And you heard some people try and come up with cope and they're injured and I have work tomorrow and I don't want a black eye.
And you have some people with all the same circumstances, perhaps worse, who got in there and fought anyway.
And it wasn't about winning because I think, not think, I know, everybody lost.
Everybody lost. It was about getting in there against a man you know you can't beat and being brave enough to do it.
That was the whole point of it.
And I don't think many men at home understand That when you look at life, trying to find challenges you can overcome as opposed to find comfort, you're happier anyway.
I am so glad I went to jail.
I'm truly glad I got that experience.
It was an unexplored area of the map and I got to go and experience it.
It's hard. I've talked about how it's hard.
It's a boring story to talk about again.
However, I'm glad I got to do it because I know I'm a better person now that I've been through it and I know that I could deal with it better than I could have before.
And what's the point in being a man if you're not going to constantly try and upgrade yourself?
And the test was massive for the war room because everybody who attended, whether they fought or not, learned so much about themselves.
And you have to ask yourself this question at home.
If you're not part of the war room, if you don't have a fraternity of brothers which inspire bravery inside of you, if you don't have a group of men around you which are going to force you or push you to do things you would never normally do and encourage you to go over the top and charge at the gunfire so you can be the best version of yourself, when are you even testing yourself in your day-to-day life?
You're going to work. You're doing your job.
You're sitting with your girl. You're playing video games.
Where's your challenges? Where's your tests?
How are you going to ever improve as a person if the most you do, perhaps, is sometimes go to the gym and follow a workout routine?
There's no challenge. There's no fear.
There's no consequence.
There's nothing. You're never going to be at the upper echelon of masculinity unless you've been through difficult and hard things.
That's the exact point of the War Room, to make you suffer so you can become a better version of yourself.
And this is the story of the test.
And I'm going to play it because I was particularly proud of the suffering we inflicted on all the members and the lessons that were learned afterwards.
And so it happens that on this day, exactly 500 years ago, Master Po died.
After morning exercises, Master Po addressed the Adepts regarding a mission to eradicate the Hyadushi clan.
Poe warned us that the mission was so dangerous as to be deemed impossible with no hope of return.
Poe's words were golden.
If he deemed this a suicide mission, I believed him.
I welcome you all to the test.
In three days from now, And that is the most beautiful thing about being a man.
I'm starting to get excited now.
Because... I'm thinking back to all of the times I looked at something and thought, I really don't want to do this.
And the feeling you get afterwards.
And most men understand this intrinsically.
The reason you want to travel is not because you give a shit about seeing a church in another country or experiencing the culture.
No. You probably want to travel so you feel that sense of adventure.
You feel a little bit lost.
You feel that tinge of danger.
You go try to get girls so you feel conquest.
It's the masculine imperative to do these things.
The same reason you want to sleep with chicks and go travel and do all this other stuff is because you want to feel like, ah, I'm putting myself out there.
I'm testing myself. But it's still a sanitized version of what it could be.
What you want is men beside you who say, no, you're going to be forced to do something which you would never do.
Unless you've gotten bravery inspired within you by the people around you.
That is what a masculine network's for.
That's what your brothers are for. To sit there and say, we can do this.
You would never do this unless I do it too.
We can suffer and be afraid together.
You have no idea the level of camaraderie which exists inside the war room between a bunch of guys with busted faces after this event.
This was the second day.
It was a three-day event. To build an elite corps of men, they need to be thrown into the crucible.
Not to kill them, but to make them wish they could die.
To make the pain, the stress, the hardship go away.
Most will give up, ring the bell.
But some will refuse to buckle.
Some will refuse to bow.
Some will refuse to accept their station in life.
Some will push forward through the pain, through the sorrow, through the nightmares.
Some will grit their teeth and fling themselves forward with purpose, will, and power.
For them, the test will be a forge, casting them into a mold much the same as every single conqueror throughout history.
So it is with the men of the test.
If you're watching this, ask yourself a question.
When's the last time you genuinely tested yourself?
When's the last time you genuinely felt challenged?
Because what you're doing, you want to go on holidays, you want to fuck girls, you want to do all this garbage so you feel a tinge of it.
But when's the last time you sat down and thought, I have to make this work.
I have to perform. I need every single ounce of my strength and my capability and my competence to get myself in a situation where I can pull this off.
When's the last time you've done it?
And you're gonna probably realize, if you analyze hard enough, that you may not have done it your entire adult life.
You've been avoiding these kind of situations because you're scared of the consequence.
And one of the worst things about this new social media generation, everything's on camera, everything ends up on the internet, people are scared of losing their reputation, scared of losing their egos.
We didn't care.
We turned up and we fought.
We won, we lost, but we turn up and we fought like men.
Nowadays, you have people sitting there going, oh, I want to fight, but I want to win, and I want the video, and I don't want to look stupid, and their ego gets in the way, and it's their ego preventing them from growing.
And then, heaven forbid, they make a little bit of money on a crypto pump.
Then they have to go through life trying to pretend they're something they're not, because they have money now, and they want to pretend they're a G. Oh, well, I've got money, and I've got this nice car.
Nobody gives a shit if you have a nice car or if you're a pussy.
Nobody cares. Why would they?
Because you're still a bitch. Let me load up the third video.
Let me play this one.
I don't know where it is.
It must be in there.
Yeah, Mr. Producer-ing.
I'm gonna play Mr. Producer while I find it.
♪ Mr. Producer by The Producers ♪ The final test video is everyone getting destroyed.
Basically. And I commentated with Tristan.
It was epic. The whole weekend, to be honest, because I've told this story so many times to so many people who have asked about it.
It's so undervalued what happened there because people are like, oh, we went to Romania, went to the hills.
I think it was in Transylvania. Transylvania.
Transylvanian hills in some random place.
No one knew what was going on.
He gets on stage and says, you're going to have a fight tomorrow, yes or no.
I made it clear. So just so everyone understands, I think we made it clear there, but people turned up and they knew there was going to be some kind of challenge.
I said some professional cage fighters from Russia and Romania are going to be waiting to fight every single one of you tomorrow.
And you have to make a decision now as a man, knowing you're going to lose, knowing you don't stand a chance, whether you're going to get in there and fight or you're going to come up with a bunch of excuses why you won't.
And then it was my job. I don't know if you remember, which again is brilliant because it's about not listening to people on the outside of you and just trusting yourself and pushing forward on yourself.
My job was to convince the people that said yes to say no.
So I'd go up to you and I'd be like, what, are you really going to do it?
But you've got to remember, it's been COVID. The Russian guys haven't been able to fight in a while.
They're going to want highlight reels for Instagram.
They're going to use you.
They're going to spin and head kick you and all these things.
And some guys went, I don't care, I'm going to do it anyway.
And some guys were like... Luke's a professional UFC fighter.
He knows better than anybody.
So I was their cope.
You know what I mean? So they're allowing people from the outside, your mother, your father, your brother, your friends, their opinions to affect how you live your life.
And it's that little twist.
There were so many little things that happened at this event.
And Andrew getting up and giving speeches to the guys that said no.
The guys that said yes, they had a great experience.
They've got a great story. That's the other thing. They went to fucking Romania to Transylvania in the hills and
had a cage fight Against a professional fighter and if you saw some of the
fighters in the video, they were scary bastards. I'm telling you scary dudes
I know them all I've seen them all fight professionally It was crazy. They have a story but the guys that said no
like everything you learn more from your losses and the guys that said
No, they were he then gets on stage and calls everyone a pussy. Yeah, like I was I felt bad for them
I'm sitting there and he's up on stage and he's destroying them, like, to their face.
It was, and they had such a conversion.
Now, you speak to anyone who was there, now, from that moment, from him standing in front of them, looking at them, asking them their excuse and saying, bullshit, you're a pussy.
Yeah, I asked your excuse. What's your excuse?
Oh, well, Luke said I probably shouldn't.
Bullshit. Just like you said.
Your mother, your father, the society.
You're a pussy looking for an excuse.
You're looking for a reason not to do it, and you found a reason because someone told you not to do it.
If you're going to go through life looking for people to tell you not to do something, you're always going to find somebody.
This isn't about what anyone else wants to do.
It's about you. What's your excuse?
Oh, I have work and a few days have a black eye.
So you can go in there like a man.
I flew to Romania. I thought I was told to prepare.
I didn't know what to prepare for.
It turns out it was a professional cage fight and I got knocked out.
Go in there like a man. Why are you so scared of losing?
What's the worst that's going to happen? You have a black eye, you'll heal.
When's the last time you even pushed yourself to do anything?
When's the last time you got punched in the face?
I miss my black eyes.
Again, oh yeah.
The people who didn't fight, I think, got beaten worse than the ones who did.
Because they had to look in the mirror every single day for the next year or whatever it took for them to eventually come fight.
Because it was very interesting. They'd start messaging you and I afterwards, I have to fight, I have to fight, I can't take this L. Feeling like a coward.
They felt like cowards.
There's nothing worse as a man than the feeling of cowardice.
And the ones who fought went through the physical risk and went through the fear to make sure they didn't have to feel like a coward.
Because that's the worst thing a man can ever feel like.
And if you're honest with yourself right now when you're watching this, a lot of you should feel like cowards.
You weren't brave during COVID. You didn't get kicked off a flight.
You wore your mask. You got your vaccine.
You listened to your boss. You're scared of getting in a situation that you can't completely control.
You don't challenge yourself. You don't test yourself.
You go on the odd holiday, pretend you're rich and bang some girls, and you think that makes you a somebody.
It doesn't make you somebody nobody cares.
You're still a loser. You're a loser.
Because you've never been through the pain.
All of the bad things that happen to you are the only things that are going to prevent you from being a loser.
You need the difficulty. You need the suffering.
I'm tired of people email me going, oh, these bad things happen to me.
Good! That's why you get to be somebody who matters.
All of the people whose lives go well all of the time aren't men.
Men are the guys who stand up and say, this happened, this happened, this happened, this happened, and I'm still alive.
We're supposed to be broken.
We're supposed to be imperfect. Femininity is perfection.
Masculinity is being a damaged human who is still competent and capable.
You can even apply this to the way men and women look.
We want women to look perfect.
If a man looks perfect, women find it repulsive.
They find it feminine and gay.
They want you to look broken.
They want you to look like someone's trying to kill you.
That's what they want to look like.
They've tried to kill this man.
He's covered in scars, and he's big and huge, and they've tried to kill him, but he is still alive!
That's the entire point.
I was jealous at the test that all of these people had such a fantastic opportunity.
I was jealous. And the ones who didn't take it, I did my very best to make them feel the shame of cowardice, and I'd like to believe every single one of them truly felt it.
A thousand percent. Hopefully you got the video so you can see the big scary men.
But, yeah, I mean...
The other thing is, these people in society, you said that you've not done anything with your life.
You don't even self-analyze.
That's one of the things that I think from fighting, you talk about chess or whatever, but the background of Andrew and myself that is so important when it comes to fighting is when you finish your fight and you make mistakes, you go back and you watch the fight and you look at the mistakes that you made and you improve them.
And that's what a lot of people in this world don't do.
They don't understand the methodology of making a mistake, it not mattering, you getting over it, and not doing it next time.
And that's what, again, these guys who said no, they realized they made a mistake because he made it extremely apparent to them that you made a fucking mistake.
All these other people are going to be heroes.
Especially within the war room and we really cheered them up and everything else.
And you're going to be a loser. And you're always going to be a loser until you change this.
And the guys that have self-reflection and have something about them, they went out and they found another way to fix the problem and have a fight.
And there were so many different stories that came from it.
But I think now you can see the...
Yeah, we're gonna play the final day of day three.
So day one they turned up, day two they found out they were fighting, and day three their fight actually took place.
And imagine this, imagine being these guys walking to the cage to fight a professional
in the Romanian mountains on a day's notice.
Poe warned us that the mission was so dangerous as to be deemed impossible with no hope of
return.
you Poe's words were golden.
If he deemed this a suicide mission, I believed him.
The end of the world.
In the raging flames of personal struggle, men are always transformed into something more than men.
So it is with the men of the test.
Win or lose, you can be a hero if you just fight.
Win or lose, you can be a hero if you make the brave decision.
There are so many men of history we remember who didn't even win every time.
Napoleon lost. He's still famous.
His name's still etched into history.
The war room is a rite of passage for men who understand that they need to suffer to go through something to be a man of capability because money is only going to amplify who you are in your heart.
If you're a bitch and you get rich, you just become a rich bitch.
Nothing changes. Women are going to famouse you.
You're going to end up simping over some chick, getting robbed like a coward.
You can't escape the baselines of the universe.
There are some laws which can't be broken.
They can't be broken. They're universal laws.
You need to have the bravery about you.
I don't care what happens to me in this case or any other.
I know I always made the brave choice.
And I can live, I can sleep in a jail cell just fine knowing I chose the brave option.
I don't know how most of you are going through life never choosing the brave option.
I think, oh, but you know, I'm just being safe.
It's cope. Safety is for women and children.
It's not for men. That's the whole point of the war room that you're going to be put in a group of men, a group of guys around you, and something's going to be offered to you, which is scary, which is going to allow you to upgrade your character and be a better version of yourself.
And you'll say, no, I don't want to do that.
But enough people around you will say, I'm doing it.
Come on, bro. You can do it. You can do it.
You can do it. And before you know it, I would like to argue that everyone who fought or didn't fight looked at the entire world differently afterwards.
Facts. We had that with facts.
And then the best thing about it was you put an event on in Prague shortly after that.
And I'm playing all these videos because they're amazing videos and so many amazing things happened.
And I don't think the world's seen them enough.
This is an amazing video.
I don't know if you've got the video, whoever's watching, from the last event we did as well in Gibraltar.
But this one's great, but the Gibraltar one was insane.
But the experiences that I've had since I've been part of the war in the last three, four years, this was one of the highlights.
We're about to see underground in Prague in some KGB like meeting hall or something like that.
So this was after the test and anyone who didn't fight Was very upset with themselves because you talk about
feedback and that's how it should work All of the men who didn't fight felt a temporary relief and
you can apply this to life They were offered a difficult challenge. They knew that bad
things could happen. They were scared They were offered the opportunity to pussy out and they did
and they felt a temporary relief Maybe for a few hours or a day or so
They're like thank god. I don't have to do that But as the days went on afterwards as I saw the other
people Proud of their black eyes and proud of their blood and the
pictures and videos of them having cage fights against professionals
And then going home and telling their girlfriends. Yeah, I got my ass kicked
I got in there. I told him fuck off and I'm going to fight him anyway.
I was brave. Over time, they started to realize what an opportunity they missed and they started to feel like cowards.
And then they started messaging, Luke especially, and me, saying, I need to fight.
I need to fix this. I can't live as a coward anymore.
How do I fix this?
And we put together a Fight Club event in Prague where people could train under your tutelage.
Was it for eight weeks? Yeah, we did six, eight, ten, whatever they could do, weeks training.
They could train for eight weeks, and then they had the opportunity to meet another man who they didn't know what he looks like, didn't, just like our earlier fight, turn up and throw down.
Because... Living as a coward is detrimental to the soul.
It's actually amazing. You can apply this to so many things.
I've had guys come to me and say, you know, I really want this girl back, and I'm really upset, and then she wants me to change and do this, do this, da-da-da.
I'm like, bro, obviously we all understand what love is, and we all understand what we're supposed to do for a woman we truly care about, but if you completely cuck and completely simp to this woman, you're going to feel dirty inside forever.
You're gonna feel dirty inside forever.
There are limits you can go to where it's just too far.
You have to still be a man.
Because if you're not still a man at the baseline, money ain't gonna hide it.
Fucking random girls in Colombia ain't gonna hide it.
Nothing's gonna hide it.
Besides, when you look in the mirror at night knowing that you are not proud of yourself, that you didn't do what you were supposed to do.
And that's why this event was so monumental.
I think everybody who said no at the test felt so guilty.
That they ended up fighting again in Prague.
And once again, you talk about a transformative event.
Imagine how different you at home would be if you actually went through some challenges in your life for once in a while.
Let's look at this event here.
We can ease incomprehensions Listen to me and understand why
Come out of the rain Cause you're always running further
It's getting harder to see your smile It's been a minute since I kissed you
But it feels like yesterday I've waited so long
Since I held you in my arms The day you walked away
We took a picture right Cause you're always coming closer
I'm here Baby can't you see
That I'm here Welcome to the War Room's Fight Club!
Ugh.
And in the black corner, representing the War Room, we have...
We have...
So the purpose of this emergency meeting was to make it clear that there are fraternities that exist in the world.
primarily the War Room, because I think we're unique, where you can join a band of brothers and test yourself and be a better version of yourself.
And that, honestly, if you go look in the mirror after this emergency meeting, you're likely failing.
If you have to tell me the last time you truly challenged yourself, if we met and sat down, and you would say, oh, Andrew, hi, I watch emergency meetings, and I would say, when's the last time you truly challenged yourself?
Your story would be laughable.
You would be a joke. Nobody would be impressed by it.
And what is the point in the masculine experience unless you're prepared to suffer?
There's no point in it at all.
Our entire brands and all of our trajectory of our life both Luke and I was based on the fact that we were not afraid.
And if we felt afraid, we did it anyway.
And that's how we ended up where we were and where we are now.
And that's never going to change.
And there's not a single thing that anything inside of the war room that people have been through that they've regretted.
Every single time they've taken the leap and done something, the thanks that we get afterwards and the way that people feel afterwards cannot be matched.
And I think it's the masculine experience.
It's always been that way. Men have always gone away to war or tried to discover new lands or traverse Antarctica.
And that degree of masculinity has been bred out of men today.
And you're trying to live safely and you're living for safety.
And that is a feminine trait in and of itself.
So bravery is extremely important.
The war room has many facets to it and I often don't explain to people exactly what the war room is.
I don't feel like I should sit here and explain what it is.
You should know you need it.
It's almost like the matrix where they say the minds that want to be free know something is wrong and they're searching for it.
And you should be searching for this masculine fraternity where your friends make your enemies feel harmless and you feel braver than you've ever felt and you're challenged to be a better version of yourself.
And you'll make money and you'll get connections.
All of those things are the easy part.
The truly hard part is when you have to look in the mirror and look yourself in the eyes and say, am I man enough to do this?
And if you can get that part of life done, you'll be amazed how easy most other challenges become.
Because I'll say right now, I was far more afraid of many of my fights I've had than I ever will be of going back to jail.
Genuinely. Oh, I get a bed?
Okay, give me a bed and some food.
And no one's going to mess with me in there because they know I will fight.
Everyone wants to fight the guy who won't fight.
They know I will. So I'll be completely fine.
I don't care. It's a cheat code to life if you challenge yourself often enough and early enough and you get in the habit of always making the brave choice.
It's a cheat code to life.
My predictions... A lot of people have been following my brand for a long time.
When I bought Bitcoin at $3,000.
When I told COVID to get fucked on day one.
When all these decisions I made, people said, how did you know?
It's not about knowing. It's about making the bravest possible choice.
It's not about knowing anything.
It was like, there's two options here.
One is be a coward like everybody else.
And the other one is be brave unlike everybody else.
I'm going to choose to be brave.
And I will suffer the consequences.
I could have lost all my money.
I could have got sick and died in a hospital bed.
But I decided to make the brave choice always because it's my default programming.
It's actually not difficult to be in the highest echelon of masculinity today because every single man is going through life trying to choose safe options and be afraid.
And you know I'm right because you're trying to dip your toe in danger with your stupid lads holidays and fucking girls and going to weird countries.
You're trying to dip your toe in danger, but truthfully...
You've never really put it on the line.
You wanna dip your toe and then go home to your nice little comfy life.
And that's why history's not gonna remember you.
You're not gonna have a name that anybody's gonna repeat after you are dead.
If people talk about your death at all, because you had a chance to join a fraternity where you could be something, to push yourself, to be the kind of person who can come home with a story that they never thought they'd have.
Go away to war and come back with scars.
Women would smell it on you.
The men around you would smell it on you.
You'd feel different in your heart.
You live inside your mind. You live inside your soul.
If you don't feel good inside yourself, you're never going to feel good with anything external.
And you're only going to feel good inside yourself if you push yourself and if you challenge yourself and if you go through difficult things.
The number one problem I now currently have in my life is that I don't feel like I have enough difficulties.
So I thank the Matrix very much for this attack.
Genuinely. Otherwise, it would just be hedonism and enjoying completing the game of life.
I have all the money, all the women, all the children, etc.
I'm glad they've come for me so I get to start again.
And I hope it never ends.
I hope when this war ends, a new war comes.
Because there's only war that's going to keep you sharp.
And for all of the war room members who are watching this, who took place in the test and fought in Prague, these guys are waiting for you inside the fraternity.
They're the kind of guys you need to talk to, the kind of guys you need to be hanging around with, because you're the sum of the five people you spend the most time with.
And if you start spending time with brave people, you might become a brave person.
And the truth is, genuinely, most of you at home are cowards.
It's the truth. And I'll touch on this other...
I mean, a nice little monologue there, Andrew.
Thank you, bro. No problem. But I'll say what I've learned from Andrew or from the war room or from whatever when I come out of fighting, because I'm a very, very brave individual.
I've always made the brave choice.
I've always gone down that road.
And I believe the reason that I didn't come to the...
I was ranked 20th in the world at one point in MMA and UFC and I had ups and downs and all the rest of it.
I believe the reason I didn't become the best, the best, the best, the best there's ever been
is because I was gauging myself against external things.
And this is one of the ethoses of the war room which is so important,
is something called Iron Mind and it's something that Andrew has come up with and I have learned through him
and has changed my life.
The trajectory of my life has changed dramatically because it's all about challenging yourself and you versus you, me versus me.
It's not about me versus the guy that I'm going to fight.
You have to understand, as a fighter, for 17 years of my life, I always had an opponent.
Every three months I had a guy that I had to beat.
I always had that guy.
And I would always fight to the capabilities I needed to beat that guy.
And that was a mistake.
That was why I fucked up. That's why I made a mistake and my life could have been so much better.
Because if I had fought to the best of my capabilities in every single fight that I had, I would have wiped the floor with everybody.
And I didn't do that because I was always externally validating myself by beating this guy.
This guy matters. That guy matters.
It does not matter.
What's matter is that I improve every single day.
If I can get better day in, day out, my life is going to be better.
But I would think, oh, this guy, yeah, he's got a good left hook.
And I would train to beat this guy.
And that is why most of my fights that I lost is because I was worried about him rather than myself.
And the lesson I learned from Andrew afterwards, like, when I got to the end of my career and I... I hate saying the word retire.
I had my last fight, whatever you want to call it.
It was like three years ago. Saw this guy in Marbella.
We had a deep conversation and he said these things to me.
Don't know what you're truly capable of.
You don't understand the man that you are.
You don't understand the things that you've built up.
You don't understand the mentality that you have.
You do not understand how weak the world is.
You can help and change people's lives.
He said that to me. I'll never forget it.
And he explained this system to me.
And he said, if you challenge yourself daily and you try and become the best version of yourself Don't worry about what everyone else is doing.
Just think about what you're doing and become better day in, day out, which is what he tells all of you to do.
Every single time he comes on here, he shouts at you, calls you a loser, says you need to think about your life, you need to become better.
He did exactly the same to me.
He wasn't a pep talk. He wasn't stroking me.
He's like, bro, don't be a fucking loser.
Get on with it. From that moment onwards, my life completely changed.
Then I went on to join the real world, learn about crypto, learn about client acquisition and all these different campuses.
From there, I went to the Wallroom, and my life has been an upward spiral ever since.
But it's all because I was worried about the external validation rather than internally validating myself and wanting to be proud of who I am rather than wanting to make other people proud of me and all that bullshit that does not matter.
And now in my household, I'm famous for saying, Why does it matter?
This doesn't matter. That doesn't matter.
This doesn't matter. Any problem doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter. Whatever. I'm going to get through it.
And I believe that my future is here.
I don't believe I've even started yet.
I believe that deep down to my soul.
And it's not all because of this, man.
And I don't want to suck this dick too much.
I'm not Pete Diddy. But...
I just want to show thanks for that.
And I know that he's changing generations of people and there's soft, soft individuals out there.
All you've got to do is wake up and do something that's difficult.
Do something that challenges you.
Do something that scares you. Like, take all the money that you own and invest it in a crypto like Hex.
You have no idea what's going to happen.
And if it goes to zero, it goes to zero.
But if it goes to the moon, I'm here, bro.
Good luck, friend. Good luck.
Good luck. Thanks, guys.
Oh, let's play this video. Play this video.
Which one? The Gibraltar? The Gibraltar.
Let's play this video. Listen, before we go, a nice monologue to end.
Sure. But this, for me, all the shit I've done in my life, and I've done a lot of shit, I didn't tell the story about me living on a yacht, driving a DB9, having a G-Wagon, being the man, all this crap, and then going from here to here, not being able to pay for my wedding.
I've got all these stories I could tell, all these experiences I've had, pieing with these celebrities, blah, blah, blah, bullshit.
None of it matters. This event that I was a part of, that I created, that I built, is probably the best event, best moment, best weekend of my life, because I know the impact that I had on other people, and we did something truly, truly special.
And it's not downloading, so I don't know if you're going to be able to see it.
We're getting there. But it's very interesting you just said the impact you had on other people, because I think that's the true masculine frame, right?
You're going to feel happy inside yourself when people change their lives to the better because of you.
That's why a man wants to give nice presents to his girlfriend.
That's why a man wants to take care of the people he cares about.
You want people to feel better because of you.
That's your goal in life.
And when other people respect you, you're going to respect yourself.
You'd have to be delusional to respect yourself if nobody else respects you.
just said there about helping other people.
I agree, I don't do a lot of this from a philanthropic point of view.
I don't sit here and go, oh, I wanna be a nice person.
No, I feel good if I help you feel good.
That's the reality of it.
My intention is for you to become a better, stronger, richer, braver version of yourself.
But we often talk about money and the real world and all those things you can do,
but unless you have that baseline bravery and that baseline build of,
I've been through difficult things, I'm the kind of person who's not afraid,
it doesn't matter how much money you make.
You're still going to feel bad inside.
You're never going to feel truly happy in your heart unless you challenge yourself.
And this event in Gibraltar, I unfortunately couldn't make because I was massively matrix attacked.
But... I think this was even better than Prague, you're saying, right?
What we did at this event, it was inside Gibraltar Rock, which is a 10,000-year-old monolith, in a cave.
First time it's ever been done. We put fights on.
It later on got banned by the government, and there was so many crazy things that happened.
And the fights were incredible, and the moments were incredible, and you'll be able to see it here.
But for me, greatest event I've ever been to, I've been to...
I've fought in front of 20,000 people multiple times.
I now commentate every weekend at a big show in Prague called Octagon.
This in front of 200, 150 people, your brothers, your brotherhood, the moments that happened here.
It was life-changing for so many.
Yeah, if you're watching this right now and you don't feel like you've been missing out on a lot of things that are happening around the world and there's events that you could be involved in and there's a bunch of beautiful things that you could do to be a better version of yourself, if you don't feel that sting of regret, then...
There's something wrong with you. Because every single man who's watching this who wasn't at these events should be sitting here going, I'd be different.
My life would have taken a different turn if I had been at events like this.
If I had turned up, if I had taken part, if I joined the war room two years ago and I'd been in all these places and done all of these things, would I still be in the position I am today or would I be a braver, better version of myself?
You should be looking at these things and feel Massive FOMO. You should feel envy for the men who turned up to these events.
And if you don't feel it, then you're born to lose because I can't change your biology.
I can't change your natural inclinations.
If you're naturally going to stay a coward and you're going to watch all of these events and not feel any sting of regret, then you're not the kind of person who's going to win.
But if a couple of you at home watch this and say, I could have been with Andrew.
I could have been with Luke. I could have been in these far-flung locations.
I could have challenged myself.
I could have had a story that I'll never have otherwise.
It would have changed how I view the world.
would have made me braver. If you're not understanding that and feeling that inside of yourself,
then there's something wrong with you and you're a broken person. And the world, and
I've talked about this at length on lots of podcasts, the world is trying to breed bravery
out of men on purpose. They don't want you to be brave because it is the bravery that's
going to allow you to resist their enslavement. Anybody who's watching these videos and doesn't
feel like they should have been there. You're the exact kind of person the matrix wants
you to be. You're the kind of person who's going to sit there and go, Oh, well, joining
the war room looks like hard work. It looks difficult. I don't get just to just join and
sit around. I have to do things. I have to push myself out to challenge myself. I've
got other stuff to do.
My girlfriend will get mad at me if I go away to this fight.
And then you're going to sit there and be a coward.
And when the enslavement comes, when COVID 2.1 You're going to sit there and make the coward's choice.
And it's going to be left with the brave men to finally fight against the narratives and break the matrix and free you and your family from your house because you're not going to do it.
You're a bitch. If I was at home, and I was not part of this organization watching videos like this, I would be furious that I missed out.
I'd be furious that I couldn't have been there and had a chance to prove myself, not only to myself, but to God, to look in the mirror and say, yes, I am the man I say I am.
Because those are the most beautiful experiences in life.
I said this to Tristan in jail, you don't get to become the most famous man in the world saying you're the top G, and then get thrown in a dungeon and And piss your panties.
God won't allow that.
God's testing me to see if I am the man I said I am.
So now I get to prove it to him and to myself.
And I performed flawlessly because I made the brave choice.
I could have sat there and cried my eyes out.
I could have been a pussy. I could have done a Jordan Peterson and ended up on psychiatric meds.
I could have took sleeping pills.
I could've done a bunch of stupid things.
I didn't do any of it because my entire life was built around constantly making the brave choice.
And if you're at home, you're not making any brave choices.
Life is designed so that you don't have to ever step outside of your comfort zone.
You get to play video games, eat, take away food, work your job, barely pay your bills, have mediocre missionary twice a month, And that's your life.
But you should be looking in the mirror knowing there's more to life than that.
And if you actually truthfully analyze and understand, when I ask you if there's more to life, you may give me a few answers like you want a nicer car, you want to make some money, you want a Lambo, you want to travel the world, all these things.
That's all superficial. That gets boring very quickly.
There's a reason why all these people who have money end up on drugs and a bunch of other garbage.
Because they're not happy in their hearts.
I don't need drugs. Why would I need money?
Why would I need drugs when I know who I am as a man?
That's what gives me true satisfaction.
No drug's ever going to replace that.
No drug's ever going to make me feel like I know I've challenged myself and pushed myself to the best of my ability.
And if you're not out there doing that, you're never going to be happy whether you have money or not
Really try to just focus on this and really put everything else aside
And yeah, I have done that really well.
Last year, I felt like I let down a lot of my closest friends.
I was expected to be brave and I felt like I'd let them down.
As soon as this came out, I was like, okay, I've got to do this.
I gotta have a proper flight in the flight club.
The pride that you'll feel from folding through with the experience is something that money can't buy,
It's something that nobody can give you.
You can't do anything except earn it the hard way.
I mean, it's an amazing experience, you know, being able to push, train hard for a long period of time and then show everyone what you're made of on the day.
I wanted to push my limits.
You can always push more.
You can always go harder.
There's something inside me where I'm like, okay, I can do it now.
When I grasped it with both hands, I realized this was exactly what I wanted to do
When's the last time you felt glory everybody at home You can join the war room at corporatetape.com.
Luke and I are waiting for you inside.
And we promise you glory.
We promise you pain and suffering and fear and anxiety and a lot of hard work.
We promise you all of those things, but we will promise you glory if you're prepared to go and snatch it.
If you're prepared to stand up and do the right thing, then we will give it to you.
And that's how the universe works in general.
You're gonna have to get up and you're gonna have to challenge yourself because there are so many people at home doing exactly what you do.
How would you ever expect to be an exceptional person?
There's so many people living versions of your life.
There are far less people living versions of our life, which is why we are who we are and is why you're watching.
There are so many people who just go to work Avoid challenges.
Bang their girlfriend. Play video games.
May play a different game. May have a different girlfriend.
May have a different job. But the version of reality is too similar for you to ever become an exceptional person.
You cannot excel because the version of reality you're living is too similar to so many millions of other people.
There has to be a point where you eventually bite the bullet.
And the best way you're going to do that is via brotherhood.
Men have always done that via brotherhood.
Via the army they're in, via the gang they hang around with, via their tribe.
It's always having men around you who are brave that is going to make you brave.
And that is what the war room is about.
And we can apply that, and I've done it many times, to the oncoming enslavement of man.
How you need to have as much money as possible.
You need to have a strong network. You need to have brothers you can rely on.
You need to be the person who stands up knowing that people are also going to stand up and help you.
That is the point of brotherhood.
Whether you get thrown into jail, whether they lock you in your house, whether you run out of money, no matter what it is, you need to have men who are not cowards next to you because a lot of you are cowards, which means you hang around with cowards, and that means that your friends aren't even loyal to you because loyalty means nothing without bravery.
Because as soon as things get hard, all of your friends are going to piss their little panties.
So it doesn't matter if they're loyal to you because they're pussies.
It doesn't mean anything. You could be walking down the street with your best friend who calls himself loyal to you.
And if me and Luke turn up to decide to kick the shit out of both of you, he will run away.
He can't be loyal because he has no bravery.
And why would you have brave friends if you're not brave yourself?
I don't hang around with cowards.
Cowards roll with cowards and brave men roll with brave men.
And if you're not waking up thinking, I need a fraternity of men who are not afraid.
In the oncoming enslavement of man, with the war which is coming for us all, I don't want to be afraid anymore.
I'm going to test myself.
I'm going to be the best version of myself.
And I need men who feel the same beside me.
If you don't have that intrinsically inside of you, then you're a broken person and you're born to lose.
Am I supposed to say something now?
You can. Okay. I agree.
Everything you said, I agree with all of it.
No, beautifully put.
And I think for me, coming from the gym, the fight gym, that's what I had.
I had camaraderie. People say, do you miss fighting?
I don't miss fighting. I watch fights all the time.
I sit cage-side at Octagon and I watch the fights.
And it's fucking brutal. I don't miss the fighting, but I miss the build-up.
I miss the brotherhood, and that has been replaced for me by the war room, by my brothers that I have now.
That is a truly special thing, and it's just on a different level now.
But I'm playing a different game.
I'm in a different phase of my life.
So if you are on your own, if you are lonely, if you don't have brotherhood, then you're never going to win.
How are you going to win against us?
It's impossible. It's literally impossible.
So if you can't win, You might as well join the team.
So I think we've got a beautiful video to finish off, you know, that shows everything, every angle, because that's the big thing as well.
They'll go again about the war room.
It's not just about fighting.
Some people say, oh, it's not just about money.
It has so many different facets to it, different things.
There's so many people that have so many skill sets.
If I need something in any country in the world, from marketing to fighting to the best restaurant to go to, I went to Miami, I don't know, some guy texts some owner of some restaurant, I'm sitting...
But in the best seat in the house, in the best restaurant in Miami, on short notice like that, because I have connections, I have this network.
If I need things, if I need my Instagram to get unbanned, which has happened, and will probably happen again after this, then I find a guy who can do it because I have the network.
So there's so many facets to it that make it amazing.
And it's not just a fighting part and you being a coward.
But this video, hopefully, will display that for you.
I've found brothers in the war room that sometimes I consider brothers just as close as my blood brother.
I lacked brotherhood.
I was so used to being in an masculine environment, and I lost that.
