WEBVTT - Andrew Tate's Terrible Book 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:05.720 Hey, everyone, Robert here. The episode you are about to 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.639 listen to is me and Scherene lani Yunis and Sophie, 0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:14.560 our producer extraordinaire, going through some of Andrew Tate's writings, 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.560 particularly a book of his Collected Wisdom and some of 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.520 these weird kung fu stories that he's written. It's all 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:25.400 fucked up and terrible. We recorded this when he was 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.000 still incarcerated in solitary confinement. He has now been released 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.239 to house arrest. So in the episode, whenever we talk 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.919 about him being in a Romanian jail, just replace that 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.880 with the phrase house arrest in your head and it'll 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:44.880 be like we edited it ourselves. Welcome to the Manosphere 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.920 Man Cast with Chunt Grunt Punch. We're here today to 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.520 talk about all of my tips and tricks for picking 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.600 up high value ladies. First off, though, I want to 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:01.080 introduce my guests for today, my co hosts on the 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.319 Man Cast, Scherene lani Unis and Sophie Lichterman. How are 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:05.720 y'all doing? 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.280 Robert, you won't ever do that in our presence again? 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:09.839 Are you ready for the man Cast? 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.000 Doing it for the for the pod? You know? I 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.800 understand why he chose. I understand. It doesn't mean I 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:16.960 like it, but I understand it. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.640 It's it's called maybe we should have called it the 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.120 grunt Cast. But yeah, I think it's a good idea. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.600 I think this is what we should pivot to doing, Sophie, 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.080 because it is apparently the easiest way to make money 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:27.600 in the world. 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.160 You repulsed me, and I did not enjoy that, Sophie. 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.039 All we gotta do. We got to fuck up the 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.720 heads of like ten or fifteen million, like teenage boys, 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:42.280 and then we retire. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.000 Or easy or you get the easy or you could 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.160 throw it into jail in Romina. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.760 Well we won't. We won't go to Romania, Sophie. I mean, 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.480 come on, I Andrew Tate. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:55.920 Why not? 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.120 Well, well, it's a great place to go if you 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.680 are not operating a massive sex trafficking ring and bragging 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.320 that the Romanian government won't arrest you. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.920 Yeah, you shouldn't. You should avoid Romania. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.200 If that's the case, You should avoid most places. If 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.519 that's the case. This is a book episode. You all 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.919 know what a book episode is, uh, Scharene. We've been 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.800 we've been struggling to find a new book for our 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.360 book episodes for a while now, and I think I 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:21.480 may have landed on it. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:22.120 Uh. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.200 We're actually going to be covering two books today and 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.640 both of them are written by friend of the Pod, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:28.560 Andrew Taate. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.160 Friend of the Pod. I was on here for Stephen 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.120 Sigal's book, right. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.880 You were on here for Steven Sagal's terrible, terrible book. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.840 Wrote all that fucking cover. The cover, I just remember 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:43.280 the cover. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.720 The cover was was a choice. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.920 This book has a better cover, not a good cover, 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.760 but a but a better cover. Is like, well, the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.760 first book we're talking about by Andrew Tait is his 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:04.040 Tales of Woodawn, which is is Wudon is like a 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.040 mountain in China and the kind of two big schools 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.240 of Chinese martial arts, like one of them is named 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.040 after Wudon because I guess it's just kind of like 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.520 where it originated. But Andrew Tait, despite being kind of 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:21.440 a you know, mediocre kickboxer, is is very married to 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:27.000 the idea of being like a like a monastic warrior thing, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.480 which which is, yeah, go to I want you to 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.440 go to the Cobra Tate. That's his website's name, Tails 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.600 of bud On page to take a look at this thing. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.200 When I say it's a better cover than the Stephen 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.600 Sigal book, that's that's not praise. So it opens up. 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.440 With just like a gift of him, basically like smoking 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.080 a cigar. It's like a fucking. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.600 Parody of what much everything he does is. So it's 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.920 there's like a drawing of him that it's weird because 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.480 the the art style is like a mix of kind 0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:00.720 of vaguely competent sort of Asian landscapes, but then the 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.360 illustrations of like Andrew Tate as a as a fucking 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.640 kung fu master. It almost looks like a political cartoon 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.680 of him. Like it's it's weird. It's it's a strange 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.800 mix of styles. But it does beat the Shadow Wold's book. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.760 I'll give it that, I guess, Yeah, that's the one. 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.119 The one good thing I guess is that it beats 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.680 the worst cover of all time. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.760 Yeah. Yeah. Now, to get this book, you have two 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.040 options sharene one is that you sign up for Andrew 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.279 Tate's mailing list and every week he'll send you a 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:36.960 new story from it, which fuck that, absolutely not. The 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.239 other is that you pay five dollars for the book, 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.880 which also fuck that. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.120 Dollars too much. Yeah. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.040 Yeah. The third is that you scroll through I lied, 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.520 there's three. You scroll through the tales of wudon twitter page, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.840 and apparently you get to the stories. Look, they're they're 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.600 boring as shit, But I am going to read one 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.680 of them for you because it's it's funny and it 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.960 will serve as a good introduction to andrew second book, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.159 which we're also going to cover. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.320 Just just before I exit out of this website. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.480 Click X, you're gonna need to burn your laptop. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.400 Yeah. I've never been on this before, but like, do 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.040 you know how like some websites have like a live 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.880 chat for help option, So for this one, it pops 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.440 up immediately, like it's just on the front page, and 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.719 it says, this not just a live chat bot. This 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.279 is your chance to get personal attention from Tate's personally 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.159 trained special forces. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:33.839 My god, what are they going to under walk around 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.120 alone in a jail cell. 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.120 His says, this is your chance to change your life. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.680 Begin a conversation below, and follow the next steps. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.960 Yeah, it's a little cult he's got going online. I've 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.800 continued following his journey after his arrest, and like, just 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.080 f yi, he has like friends on the outside that 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.920 he sends tweets to, and they've gone from like I'm 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.680 innocent and you know, will be vindicated to talking about 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.320 his like jail cell workout routine and all sorts of 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.200 like uh. He most recently he bragged about defeating a 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.719 ghost in hand to hand combat. So it's it's he's 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.240 he's doing well, is what I'm saying. I would normally 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.600 say I wouldn't wish solitary confinement on anybody, but I 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.880 didn't know solitary confinement could be this funny. So now 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.520 like I'm morally compromised, but it is very. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:30.800 Funny that on anybody. You're the for this. There are 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.440 so many shitty people. All of you should be in 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:34.279 a pit somewhere. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.760 I mean, I think, yeah, okay, that's fair, that's fair. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.839 I have no sympathy for the I have. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.560 I have an alternate standpoint, but that's gonna. I promised, 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.000 Sophie my New Year's resolution was not to talk about 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.479 killing people on this podcast more than one, sup quarter? Yeah, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.640 more than one. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.400 You've already wild and Q one. But okay, I know, Sophie. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.400 You know life is a journey, okay, and some times, 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.839 you know, you. Rather than getting obsessed with your failures, 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.880 you should just celebrate the attempt. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.640 I thought life was a highway. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.760 Well that's also that's also what life is and life 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.000 is for Andrew Tait. Life is a five thousand year 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.720 long process. Because this the introduction to his book Tales 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.520 of wood On begins in a previous life, I lived 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.160 five thousand human years atop Woodon Mountain. I remember every 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:28.040 lived second. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.240 Jesus Christ a big riot here. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:38.440 Life is competition. Competition is violence. In many modern forms 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.280 of competition, we have attempted to water down the violent 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.440 aspects to replicate violence in the most sanitized way. We 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.920 have full grown men growing as large and strong as 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.880 possible to put a ball in a net, as opposed 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.680 to hurting each other. It's funny that he focuses on basketball, 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.760 because football is still about men hurting each other to 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.800 the point that they destroy their brains. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.960 It's the most dangerous sport, isn't it isn't it? 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.000 Yeah? Well, also mma, which is his sport? Like both like, yeah, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.480 not really sanitized, but the sentiment is the same. It's 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.280 a group of men at war with each with another, 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.920 with one team being victors and the other being losers, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:17.280 the largest, strongest, most beautiful tree violently crushing the surrounding saplings, 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.120 and the quest for resource. He just says resource. Every 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.920 time I see beauty, I see struggle, the struggle required 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.880 to create it. When I see myself, I know the 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.000 struggle lived to become who I am. To live as 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.040 I do, the more sophisticated my understanding of the universe's 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.000 constant state of war, the happier, more content and peaceful 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.440 I feel. You are meant to struggle. You are here 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.480 to suffer. If you do neither of these things, you 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.600 are either dead or invisible. If you want people to 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.200 care who you are, become familiar with pain. If you 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.600 do not struggle to become an exceptional man, you are 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.360 a nobody, and every female will prove to you you 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.640 may as well not exist. 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.440 The female is like the worst of the worst words 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.400 to use to describe people with volvos like. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.920 I just it's one of the easiest ways, though, to 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.680 determine whether or not someone is like a piece of shit. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.280 If yeah, that is, if they if they use it 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.280 in that way. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.200 That was that was That was a long sentence you 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:09.319 just read. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.360 It's like it's laid out as almost as if it's 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.959 a zin Cohen But it's it's not. It's just like 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:21.200 dog shit, uh fucking fight club ass level philosophy, but 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.880 without like the knowledge that fight club is a satire 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.320 of this kind of philosophy. Right, Yeah, they're not. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.120 He's not evolved enough to understand that it's not that serious. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.400 It's also very funny that he's life like, life is struggle. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.120 You know, I am like the strong oak that has 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.679 choked out the saplings beautiful at and I do this 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.520 so that girls will like me. Yeah, that is the 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:45.480 most pathetic. It's so sad. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.160 How does how does he get away with being so pathetic? 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.800 And because just big fucking dork dorks are great, but 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.160 there's a certain kind of dork that he is that 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:58.360 is fucking pathetic. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.880 Well, it's because he's he reaching out to like thirteen 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.320 year old boys, yeah, who who are raised on like 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:10.320 a mix of like comic books and video games and anime. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.839 And you know, there's nothing wrong with any of those things, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.120 but when those form your entire like level of familiarity 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.160 with the world, it's easy for a guy like Andrew 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.080 to come in here with a story that sounds like 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:26.400 the opening for like a nineteen nineties fighting game, and 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.520 you know they're crazy dry in a little bit, yeah, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.360 let's continue with the tales of Wudon for a little 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.960 bit longer. Evolution requires pain, while others complain that they 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.080 do not feel happy enough. I'm happy, I'm struggling. I 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.320 don't want to be happy. I want to be great. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.559 This is the beauty of life. As a man all caps, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:51.520 we are born valueless. You're either all caps man. You 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.120 either build yourself into a king or you fail. A 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.160 top Wudan, I told priest Master Yan Hue, how at 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.760 peace I felt amongst the trees. I could feel life 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.160 all around me, sitting at the foot of the largest tree. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.760 I asked him, when life is so beautiful, why do 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.240 we fight? His reply was simple, do you think the 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.840 largest tree you sit beneath grew so tall amongst many 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.280 if it didn't fight in a previous life? I lived 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.360 five thousand years atop wood on mountain. I remember every 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.720 lived second now. I wanted to highlight this story because 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.920 it's an example of like the perfect flaws in this 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.600 style of thinking, Like how it's not just like silly 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.000 on its face, but actually if you attempt to engage 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.160 with it scientifically, and he is trying to make a 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.400 scientific argument here. It's also a perfectly wrong understanding of 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.800 forest ecology in biology. Obviously, there's a lot of competition 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.920 in nature, a lot of competition among trees and plants. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.000 There's also a huge amount of cooperation. One of the 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.680 I believe it's Acacia trees in a chunk of Africa, Like, 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.240 when they start being fed on by herbivores, the trees 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.360 will start to release like a pheromone essentially that will 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.760 warn the other trees that they're being fed on, so 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.400 that they can start production of a tannin that's poisonous 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.760 to the animals. And so like the trees communicate as 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.800 a grove to work together to protect themselves, and likewise, 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.640 the animals have evolved over time to only eat little 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.559 bits of the trees at a time before it starts 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.920 to get poisonous. There's this thing actually anyway, it's that. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.640 Tree must be so good to still to still risk 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:19.559 eating a little bit. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.360 It must it's got to be delicious. Yeah, what if 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.160 you were like, all right, you can eat some cheetos, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.640 but after forty five seconds there's cyanide in them. The 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.680 bag of Cheetos will defend itself exactly. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.520 I think. I do think that Andrew Tate thinks he's 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.280 like a philosopher or like it makes you wonder how 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:42.640 philosophers become philosophers, because like I think he's in his 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.240 mind he's saying something really profound, right. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.679 Yeah, I mean the truth is that like a lot 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.400 of philosophers are guys like Andrew Tate, and that they 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.760 were just assholes who said stupid shit, and a lot 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.920 of people listen to them. You know, for every Diogenes, 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:02.920 there's uh, there's a kant immanual kant So I wanted 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.280 to highlight a little more about how wrong this fucking 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.120 attitude towards trees is. I don't know why, but there's 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.560 a there's an article on americanforest dot org that I 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.600 read years ago that I started thinking about as soon 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.040 as this came up, because it's one of like the 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.480 saddest stories I've ever read. The article title is almost 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.079 impossibly bleak. It's titled The Trees That Miss the Mammoths, 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.400 and it's about the osage orange tree, which I believe 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.960 is what we call bodark, what we white folks call 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.160 bodark in the South. But it's and it's one of 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.200 the hardest trees on earth, and you can grow it 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.559 into like fence posts and stuff like. It's that that's 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.079 what they used to do with it, is they used 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.560 to like seed it specifically so that they could like 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.400 make fences and stuff out of it. It's also Indigenous 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.160 Americans used it to make bows because it's a really 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.040 good tree for making bows from. But one of the 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.439 weird things about it is that it's incredibly naturally it's 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.560 incredibly geographically isolated. It doesn't grow out of this tiny 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.320 area in like Oklahoma and Texas, and it has these 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:05.040 these massive, green, fleshy fruits. They're they're these huge green fruits. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.240 We used to call them horse apples because they were 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:12.440 all over all over the farrow horse apples. Yeah, I 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.880 would huck them at cows I was six. Look, you 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.400 can't judge me for it, but yeah, they were. There 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.400 are these that we call them horse apples, and you 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.280 can't eat them right. They're inedible for basically everybody because 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.080 the seeds are so hard. I think there's a couple 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.760 of animals that did not naturally eat them. But but 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.000 we'll eat them now once we've put. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.200 Them together, I'm looking at them now. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:38.000 Yeah, they're wild, they're massive, they're massive and fruits and 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.040 nothing eats them really anymore, and they don't spread naturally. 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.200 They're so heavy that like they don't get spread wild 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.280 widely around, like birds don't eat them and poop the 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:54.280 seeds out. Well, they barely are. Mostly the reason why 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.360 they're still alive is that we have like intentionally bred 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:02.600 them because we wanted the wood. But yeah, so tree 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.840 nerds have been trying to figure out, like, what the 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.600 fuck is up with this stuff? Why would a tree 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.400 evolve to have fruit that's so hard and so heavy 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.240 and doesn't spread like that seems like a bad evolutionary idea. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.520 And the understanding they've come to is that it's because, oh, well, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:23.880 the trees co evolved with mammoths and giant sloths and 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.600 that's what would eat their fruit and would spread their seeds. 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.320 And when all of the giant sloths and mammoths were 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.000 hunted to extinction, there was nothing to spread the tree 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.520 seeds anymore, so they stopped spreading around. And it's it's 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.960 evidence that as much as competition is a part of nature, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.320 so is collaboration and interdependency, you know, because it's not 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.920 like the mammoth isn't saying I'm going to spread these seeds, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.880 and the tree isn't saying I'm going to feed these 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560 mammoths in exchange for them spreading my seeds. But that's 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.040 the way it works out. They were both dependent on 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.600 each other. And now that this this these species that 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.720 they used to depend on, it is gone. The august 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.680 osage tree, despite how hard and tough and strong, and 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.600 it's an incredibly strong plant, it's it can't breed on 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:17.680 its own. Why because it proves wrong. I think, because 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.840 he's wrong about trees, Sophie tree. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.880 The tree is just missing its buddies, and it's missing 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.920 them for centuries. That's really sad. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.440 It was. I thought we were on a different show 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.680 for a second or one. I'm like, we're doing something 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.600 that I feel like would be very good. Happen here 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.800 to explain tree facts. No, No, it's a juckery, Robert. 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.320 Where the fucker the fuckery is He's lying about trees 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.640 to children, and children are going to grow up not 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.040 knowing about the giant sloth and the osage orange tree. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:47.760 And that makes me angry. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:52.920 Okay, justified, he is wrong him. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.120 Okay, okay, But Sophie, I hear what you're saying. You 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.320 want more Andrew Tait fuckery, and I'm going to give 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.040 you slightly more than you bargained for here, because I 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.040 in trying to find copies of the Way of Wudan, 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.000 I found the saddest post that I have ever seen 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:13.480 on Reddit. It is it is heartbreaking. This is from 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:17.000 the Cobra Tate subreddit, which is listed as the only 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.880 official community of Andrew Cobra Tate. It's only got three 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.400 point seven thousand members too, which is not a anyway. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.080 The post is titled the Way of Wodan and it's 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.040 written by a user named Alfred Ceipher about nine months ago. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.520 And I'm going to read this. Just hold onto your 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.120 hearts because this is going to break them. 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.320 Sure, and I'll hold your heart. You hold my plase, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:39.760 Yeah you go, There you go. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.040 May I perhaps should have said, hold on to your 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.359 gag reflex, but here we go. It may sound like 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.399 a fairy tale, but this story couldn't be more realistic. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.239 What I'm about to share is the story of how 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.560 my trajectory and life changed literally overnight. How I found 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.240 my path to wudan not gonna lie. I was a 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.960 brutal loser, and I'm being modest about how I'm describing it. 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.640 I was way worse, already dead. If I might add, 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:04.520 I had no friends. The people in my life were 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.600 shitty and put me down every single chance they got. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.280 I was alone, depressed, and lazy, not to mention stupid. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.280 The worst part of it was I knew all these 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.280 things deep down. I knew who I truly was, and 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.320 my mind made it clear to me every single day. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.040 A sore loser, nobody wanted me. I hid myself at 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.160 home just to cope with the pain. It got worse. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:21.840 It got to a point where I lost all hope. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:24.000 I had no hope anymore, and I lost every battle 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.399 before they even began. The way I got to know 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.680 Tate was just as miraculous, If I might say, there 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.800 are a lot of success gurus and motivational speakers out there, 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.760 But the first time I saw and Andrew tate clip, 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.320 something immediately clicked. I don't know what it is. I 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.679 got drawn to him instantly. The cobra had snapped its victim. 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.240 Oh my god, I know that one hurts. That hurt 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.320 to read from that. From that first clip, I immediately 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.080 searched him on YouTube, and surprise, surprise, he had his 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.440 own YouTube channel. I watched each video down to the 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:56.679 last bit. His speeches just stripped me of ballbne that 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:01.200 it's horrible, So that's so horrible. His speeches just stripped 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.520 me of all the victim coat mentality. Until I saw 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.480 myself in my true form again, before I swore never 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.119 to reveal again. I was there, all of my losses 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.240 flooding my mind, teasing me of how much a loser 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.800 I still was and still am. It was ruthless, but 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:15.840 Taint went ahead and said this one thing, one thing 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.520 that makes the difference. He said, but you can have everything, 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.680 everything you've ever wanted. It's a matter of how bad 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.439 do you want it. And from that moment it was 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.639 my first time to see the light. And then he 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.159 added this, I will show you the way, will you listen? 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.760 That got me started on my path. I borrowed the 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.840 cash in an ATM to pay for Hustler's University. I 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.360 really wanted it, I really really wanted it, and I enrolled. 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.159 Don't even get me started on Hustler's University. The content, 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.879 the professors, the students, and the mindset change that hit 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.760 you as astronomical. I would literally go broke just to 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.719 remain in Hustler's University. It's more than just what you 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.080 see every day. You get to see sixty thousand brothers 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.800 hustle and grind with one aim money. 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.480 Okay, this is written by Andrew Tait. He made it 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.520 a count he it reminds himself. 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.880 It might be, but he's got a lot of like, god, wait, 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.280 this is so and everybody's half of these responses are 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:06.120 making fun of him. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.360 Yeah, I mean, like the people that like actually worship him. 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.359 It's just like it's culty. No, it's for sure culty. 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.639 But it's also just like it's sad. It's sad in 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.159 a way. Yeah. And there's so and there's still so 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:24.200 many Yeah, because they want. 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.880 To connect with someone so so deeply and so badly. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.760 It's just like they missed the opportunity to connect with 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.760
