Truth to power
HOST
Sa. It. Hold up. I gotta preload like 10 cigarettes for these things now.
Just give me a sec. Foreign. So we're going to treat this spaces, it's going to be kind of like a sequel to the last one. And we're going to concatenate some of these ideas that I was discussing.
The first topic of discussion that I want to breach is this idea that surrealism. Surrealism is a way more powerful ideology than realism. And surrealism, if it ever goes toe to toe and ever has a showdown with realism, surrealism wins. Especially if there's a good artist behind the movement.
Okay? We talked about how facts are fungible, right? People don't understand. Facts have a mushy quality to them, okay?
Facts are always rotating. The truth changes quite frequently. And I talked about how men like to tantalize themselves by claiming that the search for truth is a masculine endeavor. And I argued the opposite.
And I said, no, no, no. The masculine creates reality and creates truth. The taste makers, the king makers, Let me tell you something, someone creates a digital two bit picture of a fucking triceratops wearing a red cardigan and puts that on OpenSea and sells that fucking image for $2 million. Who just created reality and who created truth out of thin air, right?
It's how markets work to mark markets function. It's facts are always in flux. And the people who are front running reality, the creators of this, are the ones who win every day of the week. Now, I'm gonna give you very practical examples of what creating truth looks like and what architecting reality looks like, all right?
Because in my view, from where I'm standing, the most Nietzschean living figure today to date that I'm aware of, somebody who essentially came out of the primordial ooze and catapulted to the top is Andrew Tate. And I don't think people truly understand. Look, this is no man's land. I.
I think there's very few people out there who actually perceive the brilliance of that meteoric rise. And it's not what you think. There's. I.
I have been able to pinpoint one quality, one attribute that gave Andrew Tate an open lane to the top. And when I tell you open lane, what I'm really saying is no man's land. Like were taking traffic cones out of the way and saying, here you go, buddy, open highway, open March, no competition. And he carved out that open lane.
And I'm going to tell you why. All right, let's go back into some historicity. Let's dissect a Couple things, okay? The style, and I've, I've mentioned this before, but we're going to go a little bit deeper.
The style of marketing that you see spurn out of the wwe, the World Wrestling Federation, okay? Those characters, the kind of psycho pomp, the arrogance. Shawn Michaels, getting a fucking microphone, telling you he's the sexiest man alive, right? Over and over again.
Even his music is entrance music. When he would come out, I'm a sexy boy, this would pick up a microphone and just tell you over and over and over again how wonderful, how delightful, how perfect, what a fucking specimen he is. And that created a gravitational beam much like Andrew Tate. Do you guys understand this?
Let's, let's flesh this out. Let's get down to the heart of the matter. I. There was a tweet that I said two years ago and it was controversial, but I said, as a man, the sweet spot for looks is you really actually want to be a physical 5 or 6 in looks.
Average looking man, average build as a man, gives you a hundred times more upside than any other. And I'm going to tell you why. Andrew Tate is objectively not a classically handsome guy at all. At all.
Not by any stretch of the imagination. Now let me tell you something. And this went over everybody's head. This man would flip open a camera and tell you over and over and over again, repeatedly, that he is the sexiest man alive.
He's the sexiest man in the world. And nobody batted a eyelash. It wasn't even cringy. It wasn't even cringy.
Because that kind of arrogance and machismo works very well when you're not the thing you claim you are. This is very important. If you are a classically handsome, good looking dude, there is 0% chance you can pull that off. There is no way you can step in front of a camera.
Brad Pitt. Picture Brad Pitt going up on stage and telling you how sexy and attractive he is. It would be the cringiest thing you've ever seen in your entire life. People would recoil because you can never name what you are, you can only name what you're not.
And then people will believe it. That's one of the most strange paradox of life. If you are genuinely a terrifically funny individual, don't you dare tell anybody that you recognize that's true. If you're a good looking motherfucker, don't you dare let anybody fucking know that you are aware of that quality.
Because as soon as you showcase awareness of the things that are working for you, it gets beyond cringe, beyond. And this is why these less aesthetically attractive men have territory in the confidence game. Because you have way more leeway. You have a much longer leash to brandish pomposity.
You can be absurdist, you can be totally fucking surreal. And people are going to be like, who the fuck is this guy? It creates a gravitational pull. You say these things enough times, you know what I'm saying?
An ugly motherfucker can actually get on camera and tell you he's the sexiest man alive. That phenomenon is, is rarely going to get challenged because it's so absurd. It does something to the fucking human. It melts something away where you just kind of, you know, it's not true on the surface, but it drills in a deeper department.
It just does. It has that unique quality. And so the good looking, the reason why I've always said being good looking, as a guy too good looking, I want to say is a curse, is because you arrogance hurts you bad when you're, when you're a good looking dude, it hurts you. You gotta, you gotta actually learn how to tone it down, juxtaposition.
As I always say, if you're good looking, you got to do the opposite. Now what really works for good looking is to be the bad boy, be the tough guy, you know what I'm saying? Pretty boy exterior, but internally a monster, internally a beast, you know what I'm saying? I mean, look, there's no coincidence that the reason why Brad Pitt was heralded for his role in Fight Club is because he was a good looking bad boy.
So again, flirting with the fucking juxtaposition. You don't expect a good looking to be walking in the pit, trading punches, putting that pretty face at risk. That's very unusual because most pretty boys are afraid to get their hands dirty. So you see how life works.
You go the opposite direction of what you were blessed with. Now let's talk about something. The most powerful quality, hands down, the most magical, majestic, powerful quality. There is nothing even close to this.
And it goes back to my first point about creating reality is learning how to brainwash yourself. Learning how to brainwash the fuck out of yourself. Andrew Tate got up there and told you he's the most successful, badass, handsome, sexy, attractive motherfucker in the world. And he did it hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times on camera.
Now for you fucking math wizards, imagine how many times, how many iterations he had to hammer that in his own fucking head to, to fucking dig those grooves and dig those Trenches in the brain to where the brain actually starts to apprehend that this is now the fucking truth. Brainwashing yourself. There is zero downside to brainwashing yourself. But here's the deal.
It only works effectively when it's in conjunction with a ton of action behind it. That's the, that's the magic right there. And I kid you not, I don't think the average person can really even comprehend the level of brainwashing that you actually do have to inflict on yourself to be successful. It's a 24 hour job, and I'm telling you, the minute you take a break or a breather and you stop bombarding yourself with these thoughts, you literally backslide and lose all the progress that you made.
And you can, you could do that in a day. You could unweave, you could unweave years of brainwashing just by taking your eye off the ball and letting yourself relax for a day and lose all that progress. That's why success is so tough, by the way, because here's what happens. This mechanism is, is very powerful.
Here's, here's, here's what happens. You brainwash yourself so much that once you actually make it come true, and once the material comes your way, and once you've actually materially realized the, that you're feeding yourself every day, you no longer need to rely on the brainwashing because the material now carries you. This explains why early creators are at their very best when they don't have anything, because they have to stir up their own winds, you see, they have to stir up their own winds when there's no weather, when there's no chaos, they have to blow on things. They have to constantly stir up wind, they have to whip up weather out of nothing to continually find a way to drift and coast on their own fumes.
It's a process of constantly fucking huffing your own fucking fumes that you're creating when you don't have the material to back it up. And this explains why when these creators get as big as they do, their content becomes atrocious, it becomes insufferable. It becomes almost unbearable to consume. You're like, what happened to that funny, humorous, robust I was listening to two years ago?
Now he's boring. Well, yeah, because he doesn't have to brainwash himself anymore, so the performance is going to drastically suffer. This is true for artists, it's true for anybody who's just starting out. You create this character, you brainwash the fuck out of yourself that you're going to be the best.
You're going to be the most successful motherfucker on earth. Boom. You get your smash hit. Now everything tanks because you just mentally don't have the necessity of beefing yourself up and puffing yourself up like you once did.
And this is. This is how the world functions. This is how the male mind functions. The ones who can use their mind as a battering ram to effectively block out anything but the idea that you are the greatest in the fucking world.
You are royally anointed. You are royally anointed. You are hand selected. God has a fucking photo of you on his dresser.
Before God sleeps at night, he fucking pulls out a fucking locket and fucking looks fondly upon a photo of you until you start to fucking believe that shit in your own mind. Reality will not be incongruous with that. And I'm here to tell you that this is an inescapable thing. Especially if you started as a nobody and you're invisible, you're just gonna have to brainwash the out of yourself.
And I am telling you, it is the most difficult work you can do because you're just running a jackhammer 24 fucking 7, drilling it down into the core until your brain literally has no other choice but to believe it. You have to overdose on these thoughts. You have to overdose. It should.
Like, you don't understand. These motherfuckers are telling themselves they're. They're hyping themselves up so hard on a daily bas is it actually makes them sick to their stomach. It almost becomes like a poison because it's.
It's. It takes that much force and it takes that much frequency to back it up and actually build those grooves. And then you know what you're doing? I just told you.
You are creating a gravitational pull where people have no choice but to get sucked in like a tractor beam. You are a black hole sucking in matter from every which way. And look, because this is such a flamboyant way of doing it, you're gonna suck in a lot of junk into the back hole, into the black hole, right? A lot of debris, a lot of detritus, a lot of junk is gonna get sucked into that gravitational pull.
And then you as the artist, have to rearrange that junk and turn it into an empire. This is why I've always told you I do not trust a motherfucker who is terrified of negative energy and who wants to create a fucking protective bubble like a woman and say, no, no, no, I don't. I can't. Be around negativity.
No, no, no, no, no. As a man. As a man, when your tractor beam is fucking pulling things in, you're going to have to deal with the good, bad, and the ugly. You got to suck it all in, and then you got to transmute that and turn that into a fucking monument.
Do you understand? You're going to attract a lot of junk. You're going to attract bad people, good people, everything in between. You're going to attract the entire fucking spectrum.
And you're a junk builder. That's what you are. Tate did it. Fucking alchemy.
Suck in a bunch of junk. Attention from all directions. Some of it negative, some of it positive. Boom.
Strap it all together, stitch it together, erect it, turn it into a fucking empire. Put a bow tie on it, present it. It's a rap, fellas. Game over.
That's how you fucking win. And now a guy like Tate, the reason why you don't see that phosphorescent sort of machismo, the reason you see it's. It's kind of dialed down a bit, is because he actually walked his way into the truth. So he's got the material backing now.
He doesn't really. It's. I told you, necessity is the mother of all invention. Prior to that level of success, he had to do this, but now that he's got all the material to fall back on, it's just not a need anymore.
He doesn't have to be that character. You know what I'm saying? It's like you're kind of gonna fall. You're gonna come back to earth a little bit and.
And go back to homeostasis. Now, I will say this, and this is the most impressive figure. Look, there's an impressive figure that's living on planet Earth right now. I don't think this guy gets enough credit, but I don't see a human being who's currently living that's more powerful than Vladimir Putin.
Arguably. Fuck arguably, he is. Putin is 100% the richest man walking the face of this planet. There's just.
There's zero question. You want to talk about unlimited financing? Unlimited power. That motherfucker could buy three Lear jets and every day, every day until the day he dies, every day.
And he's. And he's. It's never going to decline. He ain't going to get rejected.
That, I'm not joking you, has unlimited financing. He has a level of power that is so unnatural and so hard to wrap your mind around that it'll almost blow a fuse. Trying to fucking comprehend how powerful that guy truly is on every level. On every level.
And I've said this before, and this is what's interesting about Putin to me, look, if there was a way right now, and most of you would take this Faustian bargain, if I could give you. If I could tell you, tomorrow morning, you wake up, you will have access to any woman on Earth that you. That you damn well please. Unbridled access to any woman on Earth.
Every day you wake up. The rest of your life, you can live in any house, any fucking house that your heart desires, you are welcome to live in. You can drive any car. You can have any food.
You can have anything delivered. You can have absolute, unvarnished, unobstructed, uncontested power the rest of your life. I kid you not, after about three days, you'd want to fucking kill yourself. You'd want to fucking blow your brains out from having that.
That much power. And that kind of. Those kind of options. Shows you how powerful life is, eh?
Shows you that it truly is, at the end of the day, a game of tug of war. It is a tug of war. You know what I'm saying? You don't want that kind of absolute power.
And it blows my mind that a guy like Putin actually does have that. That literally. You want to talk about the limitless pill, he's likely the most powerful person on the planet. And I guarantee you in the wintertime, when that motherfucker steps out from the Kremlin, wherever the fuck he lives, and he looks off into the fucking wilderness and sees one of those fucking Russian timber wolves in the winter, hunting, fucking stealthy, lean, emaciated, hungry.
I guarantee fucking to you, there's a part of that, dude that's like, fuck, man, I want to go back to that. I missed the days where I was running lean because I was hungry, where my rib cage was jutting out a little bit from my skin because I was starving. That's why I said reality is a disc, because it's. Everything is circular.
The cycles are 100 circular. You could be at the top one moment, but if you shift just slightly to the right, you know what I mean? You're. You're spiritually homeless.
And I believe a guy like Putin is craving to be spiritually homeless. But then, you know, it's like you get to that level, and what you're now doing is you got to erect different mental prisons just to keep yourself sane. You know what I'm saying? Like, there are some.
There are very few downsides to the situation that he's in. Number one, cannot leave the country ever. He's 100 stuck there. Number two, he can never choose to step down from power or he's a dead man.
And that's why they say heavy. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Because that truly is. Has to construct now mental.
And look, this is what's another interesting facet. This is where discipline really comes into play. Discipline comes into play at the top when you have a gigantic colossal plate of responsibility. This is where discipline really saves your life.
There is no doubt that the level of frame and state control and self control that man has to have is otherworldly. It's eldritch. Because if it wasn't, that literally wouldn't be able to get out of bed every morning with the limitless options that he has. It's absurd.
So you always got to swing wildly when you're on your way up. And then as you ascend, you can curtail and you can temper the beast within you through discipline. There's no doubt that the key to sustained success is discipline. Right?
It's just a very, very, very bad method when you are not where you want to be yet. Doesn't go very far. Take some questions. Yo,
CALLER 2
what's going on?
CALLER 3
Right? How you doing, man?
HOST
Good.
CALLER 3
Hey, my question is in the beginning of the space you talked about how if you identify you're funny or if you identify you're smart, that goes away. Does that work in a similar like way where if you identify an edge or you identify your success, it vanishes instantly?
HOST
100%. Because, look, the only thing that matters is the performance. Skills don't. Skills don't mean jack.
There's a lot of very talented who. Look, everybody's like this, right? Everyone. Everyone is wonderful, delightful, comfortable around.
Around their loved ones. Everybody is. Everybody is lovely, delightful around their loved ones. But how many can actually shine in the arena?
How many? Very, very few. And that's where all the glory goes to. Everything is about the performance.
It's not about the skill at all. And that's why, if you readily ascertain why you're good at what you do, you got a Schrodinger's cat on your hands. It's. It's the most wild thing I've ever seen.
And look, there's a lot of content in the unconscious mind that once they fizz and bubble up to the surface, they also dissolve. So it's like a lot of times when you. When you saliently put focus on something that is beneficial to you. It, you actually end up dissolving it, it loses.
It's like putting Alka Seltzer and fucking water. You know what I'm saying? You got a 10 minute half life and then you're, it's, it's, it's fucking disappeared for life. And that's why I said I don't think it's wise for men to examine the contents of their unconscious mind.
There are, there are, there are zombies. There are zombies and there are. You know what I'm saying? Like, you don't, as a man, you don't have to be a necromancer.
You don't have to disinter every corpse in your past in order to make progress. Some of that needs to just stay where the it is because you trust that your nature and your instincts are suppressing things that don't matter. You know what I'm saying?
CALLER 3
Like, yeah, especially if like you're, your positives came from you just knocking acting naturally. If someone is a good baseball player, they learn the swing from just playing a lot, not micromanaging their form. So when it breaks down, you can't micromanage. You have to just relax and learn to swing.
HOST
That's exactly right. I cannot tell you or reverse engineer anything that I'm good at. I've never actively worked, consciously worked on a skill in my entire life, ever. I have zero clue why I'm good at anything that I, that I do.
And I don't give a. I don't care to understand why. I just follow my natural inclination. And look, this is what I was telling.
If you get to problems in life or you are trying something new or new activity and you're really, really horrifically bad at it and it feels like tremendous work and you gotta psych yourself up and you gotta do all these song and dances and rituals just to get yourself hyped up to go do it. You are 100% working on the wrong thing. Because the, the things that you're good at naturally are, are a pleasure to do. You know what I'm saying?
And that was, that's been my whole life strategy. I tried music. Hated it, scrapped it. Everything that I tried that I didn't get a sense that I could be proficient at this in a relatively quick time, I just discarded it and kept it moving.
There's, there's, there's no reason to sit there and belabor yourself over things that you want to get good at that you're not naturally good at. It just doesn't make Any sense. It doesn't make any sense. But people waste years of their life to become barely proficient at things that they're just not naturally wired to do.
CALLER 3
And I think the reason for that is because they're afraid of failing. So they perpetually learn something when it really isn't the right thing for them, but they're just stalling and preparing.
HOST
Bingo. Afraid to lean into the edge is what it is.
CALLER 3
Because that's scary, man. Like, it's scary. Feeling's hard, man. I just.
It destroys your ego.
HOST
But of course, of course.
CALLER 3
Look, Purgatory.
HOST
Look, some, some, like every man has a foundation with an edge. There's a, there's a foundation that has been given to you in some sort of divine providence. Every man has an edge. But if you can't cook on your fire and you can't lean into your edge.
Look, this is why a lot of people won't understand this, but I am actually proud prescription medication. I actually am pro. Because there are a lot of people who don't know how to handle their edge. It just creates way too much self destruction and they're literally going to kill themselves because they haven't learned how to cook on that fire.
What prescription drugs do is they swap out the foundation completely. They swap it out. So someone with a foundation that has a very pinpointed edge, the, the, the prescription medication comes, swaps it. So that person can actually have a chance.
Of course they're going to be in a semi zombified state, but at least they have a chance of living some sort of semblance of a normal life. Because look, not every, that's the whole point of my content, right? And of course not everybody's going to know how to lean into their edge. Most people are going to burn the fuck out of themselves.
Third degree. And for those people, I believe it's an adequate solution to swap out the foundation at a certain point. You know what I'm saying? Like if you, if you, if you've been drinking and doing drugs and, and for 25 years and you still have made nothing of your life, might be time to swap that foundation.
CALLER 3
And it also could be the fact that those people just aren't made to be the big players. I mean, people have to, you know, work the simple jobs and not everyone has that edge to, you know, move mountains.
HOST
That's exactly right.
CALLER 3
Okay, well, I'll take a lot of time. I appreciate you pulling that route and thank you.
HOST
Yep. What's up, Francis?
CALLER 1
She brought me on stage. So my question. Yeah, so my question would be, what separates somebody who actually go. Goes on the journey of the no Man's land and make it to the other, other space that this is?
Is it sheer will or is it something else?
HOST
That's a good question. Look, I've. I've always kind of had this. This kind of like rotating thought in my head.
It's just been kind of like a circular theory that I. With. I kind of mean it in jest, but I kind of don't. I've always said being a billionaire is easier than being a millionaire because the path to millionaires too clogged.
Do you understand? The path to millionaires too clogged. Everyone's gunning for millions. And so, of course, to a degree, I'm being hyperbolic, right?
But there is some actual. There is some actual truth in what I'm. What I'm saying. Like the path to billions is actually easier than millions.
Like, there is a ring of truth to that. And that's why I use the Tate example, because I'm telling you, man, everybody, someone shot a magnesium flare into the sky, removed the traffic cones, and said, walk on down the red carpet, buddy. And he Hollywooded. He Hollywooded his way to his position 100% uncontested.
How many do you know who can open a camera right now and tell you they are the sexiest man alive thousands of times and get millions of people to believe it? How many people can do that? That was his number one most powerful trait in ascendancy. Way better than any other talent.
The humor, the delivery, the funniness. It was that right there. I am positive that it was that level of bravado and confidence. That was the gravitational pull.
He got millions of people to believe that's true. There you go. Architected reality. If millions of people believe it's true, how the fuck can you argue it's not?
See what I'm saying? So that was an open lane to the proverbial billions. Totally unclawed.
CALLER 1
Yeah. Thank you.
HOST
Luke hall.
CALLER 2
What's up?
CALLER 1
Hello?
HOST
What's up?
CALLER 1
Can you hear me? Okay, I've got a question. In your docu series, you were saying that you had an arbitrary goal to snatch £300 and that you were going, max effort. And they're extremely tired.
And you're so tired you could close your eyes and you could fall asleep. My question is, what was the point in that, really?
HOST
What was the point of achieving that goal? Yeah.
CALLER 1
Because you're clearly affecting other areas in your life.
HOST
Two things. One, strength. The stronger you are physically the healthier you are. That's a fact.
Okay? So if you are not as maximally strong as you could be by lifting weight, you are leaving health on the table. As someone who lives on the edge and has lived a very hardcore life, I need as much reservoir of health as possible to cannibalize on my journey. So I need to be as humanly strong as possible so that I can tear through the meat and bone when the play calls for it.
That's number one. Number two, it was an experiment in putting the conscious mind to sleep. There were days where I was on absolute autopilot. I don't even know how I drove my car from A to B.
I do not remember driving and getting there. But I guarantee you, during that flight path, I was actually probably the safest driver on the road because my body was just doing it for me. Do you understand? The instruments were very, very well calibrated to get me there.
There were times where my eyes would fucking fall asleep. My eyes would fucking collapse and fall asleep when I would be fucking just sitting there. Look, I learned so many interesting things on that fucking weightlifting journey. One of them was people don't realize just by having open eyes how much energy you actually burn.
You burn a tremendous amount of energy. Just looking, just staring off into the distance burns energy. Closing my eyes for 10 minutes and not even falling asleep was so conservational on the energy side that I could go lift again literally just by closing my eyes. And you want to talk about optimization?
This is why I said optimization is built into the mission because your body will find ways to fine tune it on its own. I literally would learn that if I just shut my eyes for 15 minutes, I was actually conserving a ton of energy. And then I would open them and I'd be like, ready to rock and roll again. So it was just about putting my conscious mind to sleep so I could perform at the highest of levels.
CALLER 1
Okay, and you said after three years, you got it or something. So after that period of time, did you just stop getting tired?
HOST
- Because your body adapts to anything that you put it through. That's what I was trying to say, man. It got to the point.
And this is, look, there's a, there's a, there's a lesson in here on injuries as well. Here's what I learned. The people who train hard every day don't get hurt in the gym. It's the people who take days off.
Because when you train every day, in, in my case, for example, your cartilage tendons and muscles are torn down, but they're torn down in equilibrium. So when your muscle contracts hard against the bone when you're doing a lift or you're doing a sprint, it doesn't contract as hard because everything is equally fatigued and your tissues don't get hurt. When you take days off, the muscle recovers faster than your tendons and cartilage. So what, you take two days off, you go back in, you do a max effort, attempt again.
Your muscles now going to contract against those weakened tendons and cartilage and it creates a, some centripetal force that basically just causes injury to the tissues. Like I, I literally would never, ever, ever have any nagging injuries if I just trained every day and kept myself equilibriumly fatigued.
CALLER 1
Okay, but wouldn't you feel like super stiff and just bad from training? Like your body, like you couldn't.
HOST
Come on, man. I'm a Olympic lifter. My mobility's elite. You know how you got to have elite mobility to throw £300 over your head in a rock bottom squat and stand up with it?
Yeah. No, not at all. You get to the point where you're not sore at all. You get to the point where squatting £400 as the grass is as easy as walking to your car.
CALLER 1
That was your mobility on point because you're training so much.
HOST
Correct.
CALLER 3
I see.
CALLER 1
Because that's happening with me. I've been training, doing the kettlebells a bit here and there. I was feeling so, so stiff. I just, just didn't see the point.
Just go a bit slower and slower.
HOST
Well, yeah, it's a lifestyle, brother. You can't expect to train in the gym an hour a day and then the other 23 hours of the day not move. And you're going to make progress. I mean, I was, I was moving, I was dropping down into a squat.
All day long. I would sit in accumulated. Accumulated total time on sitting in a, in a dead squat would be like three hours a day for my hips, for my hips and my pelvis. And, and I would just never get hurt that way.
And that would be your 100%. I also don't think how people understand limitations in mobility affects limitations in the br. Pain. Like, there's people here on this space that don't even understand that because their pelvis is so tight, their hips are tight, they can't even get full hip extension, they can't get full shoulder flexion, they can't reach their hand over their head without bending their elbow because they don't have any external rotation.
They don't understand. Once you unlock the end ranges, the. The end amplitude of your joints, it. Movement is freedom.
Right? So it's common sense that if you can add ranges of mobility to your body, that's going to unlock certain parts of your mind that are not awakened, that are in a slumber. It's incredible. That's why movement feels so good.
So will fix their mobility, and then suddenly their mind starts thinking better.
CALLER 1
Because you're trying to recommend before getting into all this heavy, heavy training, like you're saying, max effort is to get your first mobility on point.
HOST
Dude, mobility is king. Stretching is lame. Stretching is worthless. Mobility is king.
For mindset, for everything. Mobility is the most important thing. You should be doing mobility every day. There's certain shapes.
There's certain shapes the body needs to be able to make, period. Okay, I'll leave you with that. Thank you.
CALLER 1
Thanks,
HOST
J aid.
CALLER 2
Yes. Yes, bro. Just a question on success and the ways to talk. You mentioned that.
I think you said you sort of have to speak to yourself to get yourself up the t. Example for it. You gave the I saw. I watched kanye west documentary and pharrell was talking about the through the wire song.
Kanye played it to him. And fro's advice was, never forget when you're coming up and have that element of self doubt in yourself and don't let that ego consume you. So my question to you is, is that a tactic one can use on the way to the top to sort of create a battlefield in your mind to rise to the top? What's your.
What's your thoughts on that rather than the. The tape example?
HOST
I think that's a tactic to stay at the bottom, my brother. Look, a lot of these guys. A lot of these guys who reach success will literally. There's a natural human instinct to launch decoys and deter people from doing what you did.
That's why a lot of very successful people give patentedly terrible advice to other people. Because there is. There is a human instinct in psychology to preserve your tribe, preserve your wealth, and preserve your methods. And so these guys.
I don't even think it's conscious. I think unconsciously, a lot of these big killers will give you terrible, terrible advice that they don't even use themselves to get to the top. The. Is kanye west talking about going your ego?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
CALLER 2
Okay.
HOST
He's a walking ego. He's a walking ego.
CALLER 2
Yeah. And without that, he would be kanye west. Right. You know, so 100.
HOST
He's a turgid. Ego. He's a tumescent mass of tissue. That is.
That is an ego. He's a walking ego.
CALLER 2
Yeah, yeah.
HOST
Out of here. Forget about your ego.
CALLER 2
Yeah, it's kind of like that big bro thing, right? He's trying to do that. Like big bro, like, oh, you know, don't do that, don't do this.
HOST
But he's trying to sign you. Yeah, he's trying to sign you. And a lot of these guys do that. And like I said, I don't even think it's consciously malicious.
I just think there's a self preservation thing that comes in. When people put in the sweat equity and the work and they've gotten to the top, they're like, you know what? Let me just around here. Lob some bombs, throw some grenades, throw some people off, put out, spread bad cultures, whatever.
I just think people have that natural inclination to do that.
CALLER 2
Yeah. 100.
HOST
So I'm very, very leery when these billionaires and shit are, are, you know, trying to teach the common man how to rise to the top.
CALLER 2
Out of here, not hit that, man. Respect.
