Speaker
Hey everyone, it's Alman Qureshi.
00:00:10
Speaker
You're listening to the Expat Brad Podcast.
00:00:13
Speaker
What's going on?
00:00:14
Speaker

00:00:15

00:00:26

Changing the world, making it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race?
00:00:32

I wonder how many of you don't know those lines.
00:00:36

00:00:39
Speaker
You know, God, what's going on?
Introduction to Andrew Tate Discussion
00:00:42
Speaker
I've woken up to some great news about some dude.
00:00:46
Speaker
This is the kind of stuff I feel like I have to cover now.
00:00:50
Speaker
It's Andrew Tate.
00:00:52
Speaker
That's his name, right?
00:00:53
Speaker
You guys heard of him?
00:00:55
Speaker
Younger generation will know him well.
00:00:58
Speaker
I don't know if you if you don't know him.
00:01:00
Speaker
I'd say you're a little out of touch from the internet age, my friends.
00:01:04
Speaker
It means you ain't hip.
00:01:06
Speaker
You ain't down with the kids.
00:01:08
Speaker
Or you just don't check your news enough.
00:01:10
Speaker
Or your news feed is different.
00:01:11
Speaker
I don't
Andrew Tate's Controversies and Social Media Impact
00:01:12
Speaker
know.
00:01:12
Speaker
I don't know.
00:01:13
Speaker
Andrew Tate is this kickboxer.
00:01:16
Speaker
Ex-kickboxer?
00:01:17
Speaker
What is he, a sports athlete?
00:01:19
Speaker
Yeah, an ex-professional kickboxer.
00:01:23
Speaker
And then he was on some reality TV show in the UK where he was booted off.
00:01:29
Speaker
Because apparently there was a video leak of him.
00:01:32
Speaker
Not apparently.
00:01:32
Speaker
I think there was an actual video of him assaulting a female, a woman.
00:01:39
Speaker
And he kind of defended it, I think.
00:01:41
Speaker
He said it was made up and out of context.
00:01:46
Speaker
I'm not laughing at the viewers.
00:01:47
Speaker
I'm just, oh, my God.
00:01:48
Speaker
Like, this is the kind of stuff.
00:01:51
Speaker
Is this the kind of stuff I'm going to have to talk about?
00:01:54
Speaker
Because that's what's, you know, happening in the world.
00:01:57
Speaker
It's crazy.
00:01:58
Speaker
He's one of those.
00:01:59
Speaker
He's one of those guys who is selling misogyny.
00:02:04
Speaker
who's going around talking big about men being superior.
00:02:09
Speaker
He's made some comments that have gone viral about men being smarter, men own women, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:02:18
Speaker
So it riles up both sides.
00:02:19
Speaker
He's playing it well.
00:02:20
Speaker
It riles up both sides.
00:02:22
Speaker
There's like millions and billions of views on TikTok, not just of his page, but of him trending.
00:02:29
Speaker
And on a lot of social media platforms, YouTube and whatnot, I think he was banned from Twitter recently.
00:02:36
Speaker
A little while ago, a couple of months ago or something, a month, I think in July maybe.
00:02:42
Speaker
And now he's today, yesterday.
00:02:45
Speaker
That's how fast time flies.
00:02:47
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:02:48
Speaker
He's been removed from Instagram.
00:02:50
Speaker
Instagram and Facebook basically meta has said, you have not followed or broken our community guidelines.
00:03:00
Speaker
And so we're going to remove you.
00:03:02
Speaker
Apparently, a lot of hatred.
00:03:04
Speaker
So the thing that's getting to people is that apparently...
00:03:10
Speaker
A lot of young guys, kids around the age of 14, 15, have been listening to this stuff and inspired.
Staying Relevant and Open-minded
00:03:19
Speaker
So they've gone into some classrooms and not taken commands about anything that's female related, like coming down.
00:03:28
Speaker
There's some classroom where they refuse to read some work given to them because it was written by a woman.
00:03:36
Speaker
And apparently one of the teachers, when she said to some of these kids, she said, well, I'm a female.
00:03:43
Speaker
And they tried.
00:03:46
Speaker
Well, that's a woman's job.
00:03:48
Speaker
Women do these jobs.
00:03:50
Speaker
And that's a mindset, apparently.
00:03:54
Speaker
created by him, but I don't think one guy can have that kind of just him.
00:04:00
Speaker
It's a lot of stuff going on over the internet, isn't it?
00:04:03
Speaker
Now, how do I know this?
00:04:04
Speaker
Let's take a step back.
00:04:05
Speaker
Why do I know about Andrew Tate as an older person who shouldn't be in touch?
00:04:10
Speaker
Because I make an effort.
00:04:13
Speaker
If you're older and you don't know Andrew Tate, first of all, first of all,
00:04:18
Speaker
You are out of touch, my friend, and you need to get down and get hip with the kids.
00:04:23
Speaker
That's right.
00:04:23
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:04:24
Speaker
You ain't hip with the kids.
00:04:26
Speaker
And I think I don't do it because I want to find out what's trending.
00:04:30
Speaker
Part of me does.
00:04:31
Speaker
But it interests me, you know, and I think...
00:04:35
Speaker
I think one of the things I want to do is not get old and stuck in my ways.
00:04:40
Speaker
And, you know, every time I catch myself saying something like the music these days is crap, I just I just want to stop freezing and go, no, no, no, no.
00:04:48
Speaker
Don't go down that path.
00:04:50
Speaker
Now, I have my favorites from the olden times, but I'm trying to listen to stuff right now because I think that's the only way to stay young and fresh.
00:05:03
Speaker
And my body may be breaking down, decaying, and probably my mind, my brain too, but my mind.
00:05:11
Speaker
My thoughts and my approach to life, I want to always keep young.
00:05:15
Speaker
I think that's something very important to me.
00:05:19
Speaker
And I don't want to become those people that get stuck in their ideas and never evolve or whatnot.
00:05:25
Speaker
And part of me will.
00:05:27
Speaker
It's just what is it?
00:05:28
Speaker
Science, right?
00:05:29
Speaker
It's science that your brain becomes less elastic.
00:05:33
Speaker
What is it?
00:05:33
Speaker
Those neurons, blah, blah, blah.
00:05:35
Speaker
I don't know.
00:05:36
Speaker
Right.
00:05:36
Speaker
So it's somewhat will happen.
00:05:39
Speaker
But I think overall, I think if I stay in touch and I got this from my grandma, she passed away.
00:05:45
Speaker
Last year in the summer, it was the year of the COVID.
00:05:49
Speaker
I'm blurring years now.
00:05:52
Speaker
It was either 2020 or 2021 summer.
00:05:55
Speaker
I was really sad to see her go.
00:05:57
Speaker
And I think one of the things that really
00:06:00
Speaker
really always I admired about her was that she should try to keep an open mind and she would say stuff like, well, this is the thing about the, you know, it's the thing the new generation wants to do this.
00:06:13
Speaker
It's their time.
00:06:14
Speaker
Let them do it.
00:06:14
Speaker
Right.
00:06:15
Speaker
Right.
00:06:16
Speaker
Not for every crazy thing.
00:06:18
Speaker
She was like, well, you know, if they want to take drugs, that's cool.
00:06:21
Speaker
That's cool.
00:06:21
Speaker
Let them take it.
00:06:22
Speaker
It's their generation.
00:06:24
Speaker
But more along the lines of trends and thought process and stuff.
00:06:29
Speaker
And I like that about her.
00:06:31
Speaker
It always made her relatable and fresh and energetic and lovely to talk to and just more full of life, you know.
00:06:39
Speaker
So I take that and I go, yeah, I want to be kind of like that.
00:06:43
Speaker
And so I do, I've been, again, I've been lucky because nephews and nieces around me.
00:06:50
Speaker
I hang out with them.
00:06:51
Speaker
I've got a kid myself who, you know, exposes because of him.
00:06:55
Speaker
I'm exposed to a lot of kiddie stuff.
00:06:59
Speaker
But more so in a lot of the work that I do in the theater, we have a lot of teenagers coming through.
00:07:06
Speaker
I get to work with lots and lots of young kids.
00:07:09
Speaker
adults.
00:07:11
Speaker
They're always so fascinating to me.
00:07:13
Speaker
I love young people just starting out life and hopeful and just happy.
00:07:21
Speaker
Most of them.
00:07:23
Speaker
That's great.
00:07:24
Speaker
It's just a great feeling to see that.
00:07:25
Speaker
Because I'm around them, I
00:07:27
Speaker
A lot of them are in my Insta and TikTok stuff.
00:07:30
Speaker
So I do pick up stuff that they're putting on and it interests me.
00:07:34
Speaker
I go, OK, cool.
00:07:35
Speaker
So this is this is what's trending right now.
00:07:38
Speaker
This is what's blasting all over.
00:07:41
Speaker
And so, like I said, like a lot of this TikTok stuff, like this Andrew Tate story, I would not have probably caught on to it unless I was around seeing their posts and stuff about these things and how passionate they are.
00:07:54
Speaker
And that's interesting to me too.
00:07:57
Speaker
Also, it's scary, man.
00:07:59
Speaker
It's scary to think someone like him has blown up, especially over the last three, four months.
00:08:04
Speaker
He's got millions of people watching him.
00:08:07
Speaker
And I think on Insta, was it 4.7 million, something like that?
00:08:11
Speaker
It was his Insta page or TikTok, one of the two.
00:08:13
Speaker
And I'm just thinking, that's not a small number.
00:08:17
Speaker
That's millions of people all over the world, young kids, men.
Role of Social Media and Influence of Figures like Tate
00:08:22
Speaker
who are, you know, lapping this stuff up and corrupting their minds.
00:08:27
Speaker
And I don't know.
00:08:29
Speaker
It's terrible.
00:08:30
Speaker
And for Instagram to take that stand.
00:08:33
Speaker
I know.
00:08:33
Speaker
I know we want to talk shit about these social media platforms all the time.
00:08:39
Speaker
And they're and I know it's not this doesn't like absolve them of everything, but.
00:08:46
Speaker
I got to applaud a good step, right?
00:08:48
Speaker
So you can't allow these voices to be amplified.
00:08:52
Speaker
And so you got to go, that's a good thing.
00:08:55
Speaker
That's got to be a good thing.
00:08:57
Speaker
And I know people come around in these right wings and go, freedom of speech.
00:09:01
Speaker
What about freedom of speech?
00:09:03
Speaker
And I go, screw your freedom of speech.
00:09:04
Speaker
This isn't about freedom.
00:09:07
Speaker
He's not going to be shut down.
00:09:08
Speaker
He's going to go around on podcasts and other men, Joe Rogan type shows and stuff and go on and still have his videos played out and pass around and whatnot.
00:09:20
Speaker
He'll find a way.
00:09:21
Speaker
It doesn't shut him down, but it's just nice to see some kind of step taken.
00:09:24
Speaker
And freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom.
00:09:27
Speaker
You get Instagram is not freedom of speech.
00:09:29
Speaker
Instagram is a private business.
00:09:31
Speaker
They get to choose who you do it.
00:09:32
Speaker
And I'm glad they made that right choice because this is crazy.
00:09:36
Speaker
At least part of me thinks that.
00:09:37
Speaker
Right.
00:09:38
Speaker
And it's just I can't in any way reconcile his what he says to anything good whatsoever.
00:09:48
Speaker
But I wonder why.
00:09:50
Speaker
And this is beyond my ability to answer, but I'd love to know at some point, what's going on with these kids, young men, to feel the need to latch on to this kind of stuff?
00:10:06
Speaker
What programming has been done to them?
00:10:10
Speaker
That's the interesting bit.
00:10:12
Speaker
Why do they feel the need to think...
00:10:17
Speaker
I got to put down women, especially in an age where we're talking more about being inclusive and fair.
00:10:23
Speaker
What's what's going on with these kids?
00:10:25
Speaker
What's what's making them like this stuff or buy into it?
00:10:30
Speaker
You know, is it just to rebel against whatever the trend is, which is to be more inclusive or they feel left out some way that they're threatened by a
00:10:43
Speaker
I don't know.
00:10:44
Speaker
That's an interesting one to me.
00:10:46
Speaker
Is it?
00:10:47
Speaker
And these guys, you know, one thing, the other thing I really think these guys do well, Andrew Tate and his types, is that I think they...
00:11:00
Speaker
They're doing well to rile people up so they start watching their stuff.
00:11:07
Speaker
I'm going to do that too.
00:11:09
Speaker
You know, I'm going to latch on to you.
00:11:11
Speaker
Here's the way to go viral.
00:11:13
Speaker
Take one of the hot topics.
00:11:16
Speaker
or anything good that people are doing, right?
00:11:19
Speaker
Take climate change, take diversity and inclusiveness.
00:11:25
Speaker
What else is there?
00:11:27
Speaker
What else?
00:11:27
Speaker
There's so much.
00:11:28
Speaker
There's any political thing.
00:11:31
Speaker
And almost take the...
00:11:36
Speaker
I wouldn't say unpopular, but the opinion that's more likely to upset people.
00:11:50
Speaker
What's the word?
00:11:51
Speaker
Contrasted?
00:11:52
Speaker
Contrary?
00:11:54
Speaker
You get what I mean, right?
00:11:56
Speaker
Just go against it.
00:11:58
Speaker
So if everyone says Superman is great, amazing, just say he's not.
00:12:04
Speaker
He sucks.
00:12:05
Speaker
He's the worst comic ever.
00:12:08
Speaker
Or any movie that comes out.
00:12:09
Speaker
Just go against the grain.
00:12:11
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:12:13
Speaker
And double down on it and be deliberately mean about that stuff.
00:12:18
Speaker
And I think you can go viral.
00:12:20
Speaker
I think you will.
00:12:21
Speaker
Because people just like doing that.
00:12:24
Speaker
They like latching on to controversial topics and ideas.
00:12:29
Speaker
And all these social media platforms are created to do it.
00:12:32
Speaker
So what do you do?
00:12:33
Speaker
You're supposed to.
00:12:35
Speaker
I think what we're supposed to do is ignore the Andrew Tates of the world.
00:12:39
Speaker
But you can't, right?
00:12:40
Speaker
Right.
00:12:42
Speaker
It's like an explosion you can't control.
00:12:45
Speaker
Someone threw a grenade, and if you're saying, okay, maybe if we don't talk about the grenade, then it won't matter.
00:12:56
Speaker
If you're in the vicinity and you're going to be impacted by the explosion, unfortunately, you don't have a choice, right?
00:13:07
Speaker
So that's where we are.
00:13:08
Speaker
So what's the thing?
00:13:09
Speaker
So then you start countering it.
00:13:11
Speaker
You try making fun of it.
00:13:12
Speaker
All of it makes it bigger.
00:13:14
Speaker
And then it turns into a thing of us versus them.
Comparison with Sports Figures and Issues of Entitlement
00:13:18
Speaker
And here we are, right?
00:13:20
Speaker
So, oh, wow.
00:13:23
Speaker
That just crazy, crazy stuff.
00:13:26
Speaker
This guy's 35 years old, this dude.
00:13:29
Speaker
So many like him.
00:13:30
Speaker
You know, he's gone so far.
00:13:31
Speaker
Even some of the other right wing guys are going on and going like the Logans and stuff.
00:13:36
Speaker
They're like, I don't know.
00:13:37
Speaker
I don't agree with that.
00:13:39
Speaker
He's like the Trump.
00:13:41
Speaker
of the right wing people.
00:13:42
Speaker
Like even, even the Republicans are like, Oh my God, like I'm going to have to support this.
00:13:48
Speaker
Right.
00:13:50
Speaker
You know, you've gone really far if you've done that, like, but he's getting away with it.
00:13:56
Speaker
And, uh, I know he's get, he's got banned from a few places.
00:13:59
Speaker
Oh, funny enough.
00:13:59
Speaker
He is a, he's a Donald Trump, uh, fan.
00:14:03
Speaker
surprise surprise right so yeah there you go there you go and I just think I think the only way I can think of is like we should be allowed to make fun of it and by ridiculing it is the only way you can possibly I mean Anchorman did that right the movie did so well and yet here we are here we are what's the solution keep doing jokes I guess so that's all I have in my power and I
00:14:30
Speaker
These things... You know what I'm... I think it's something about men as well.
00:14:34
Speaker
Something to do with this?
00:14:35
Speaker
I know women have their own issues maybe.
00:14:37
Speaker
I don't know.
00:14:38
Speaker
Are we really two different animals?
00:14:40
Speaker
I don't know.
00:14:41
Speaker
But men... Sports... I think it's people with power and privilege is what it is.
00:14:48
Speaker
Like I'm watching sports right now.
00:14:49
Speaker
I'm listening to the stories about Ronaldo and KD and their demands about being moved to different teams and stuff.
00:14:57
Speaker
And I just go...
00:14:59
Speaker
Man, this isn't player empowerment like they claim it to be.
00:15:03
Speaker
I'm all for player empowerment.
00:15:05
Speaker
They're the ones who get the, you know, that's who you go to watch, put the butts on the seats and whatnot.
00:15:12
Speaker
But too much of it is, like, too bad.
00:15:14
Speaker
And also, it's not, like, I really think it's not, it's not, it's just a top few players that get all the advantages.
00:15:25
Speaker
And then it's not player empowerment.
00:15:27
Speaker
Because, you know, this stuff is, I don't know if you know, but, like, Kevin Durant, like, he just goes up.
00:15:32
Speaker
He just gets up one day.
00:15:33
Speaker
He's the one who built this team together, the Nets, the Brooklyn Nets.
00:15:36
Speaker
And then he goes, I'm out unless you do this for me.
00:15:39
Speaker
And that demand is deliberately...
00:15:42
Speaker
It's undoable.
00:15:43
Speaker
I think so.
00:15:44
Speaker
I think that's what it is.
00:15:45
Speaker
And he's put the whole organization in the situation just a few months before the things is about to start.
00:15:53
Speaker
I don't know.
00:15:54
Speaker
Maybe Ben Simmons, when he moved over to the Nets, because he's not been playing, he's probably just been chatting with these guys.
00:16:02
Speaker
And some of it has rubbed off on them.
00:16:03
Speaker
And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
00:16:05
Speaker
I get paid for not playing and just make lots of demands and then blame the organization for not bringing in a championship.
00:16:12
Speaker
Got to go somehow.
00:16:13
Speaker
I don't care how great you are as players.
00:16:15
Speaker
Particularly, what's interesting to me is Ronaldo and KD, those two are getting old.
00:16:21
Speaker
I don't know Ronaldo's whole story, but he's also making demands about moving off from Man U and...
00:16:26
Speaker
Not happy with the... And both of them had the similar thing about, I want to win a championship now.
00:16:32
Speaker
And it just says, I don't know, it just says something about...
00:16:37
Speaker
what's become important is possibly not the thing that should be important.
00:16:43
Speaker
I know championships are important and they're a huge part of your legacy.
00:16:47
Speaker
But I think, think about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, right?
00:16:49
Speaker
Like he's stuck in towards the end with the Lakers and stuff he's playing.
00:16:53
Speaker
And then he won a couple of championships at the end to go with that.
00:16:57
Speaker
So there's no sense of like, I think you can criticize these players without...
00:17:07
Speaker
It's sounding like you're taking sides with owners or something or you're against the power of players having empowerment and whatnot.
00:17:17
Speaker
So you should be allowed to criticize these moves because they're rude.
00:17:21
Speaker
At the very least, they're super rude, right?
00:17:23
Speaker
Right.
00:17:24
Speaker
They've done all these things.
00:17:26
Speaker
And you know why I say this is not a true player empowerment thing?
00:17:29
Speaker
Because it's the big guys like these guys calling shots.
00:17:32
Speaker
But it affects so many other players.
00:17:35
Speaker
Can you imagine?
00:17:37
Speaker
Can you imagine the Nets team just...
00:17:40
Speaker
Just the rest of the players going, hey, man, am I going to be moved now because this guy's demanding this?
00:17:45
Speaker
And all of us, we don't know what's happening now.
00:17:47
Speaker
Can you imagine all the players that have to be transferred around and accommodated or rooted out of their places and whatnot because this guy has to be accommodated?
00:17:57
Speaker
I think that's so unfair.
00:17:58
Speaker
You know, they're out of touch with the stuff.
00:18:00
Speaker
It's throwing tantrums and everything.
00:18:03
Speaker
That's what it is at this point.
00:18:04
Speaker
You know, they just, is it too much money?
00:18:09
Speaker
It's the players on top, right?
00:18:11
Speaker
Like Shaq, I heard Shaq say this.
00:18:13
Speaker
It was hilarious.
00:18:14
Speaker
You know, Charles Barkley was apparently, I don't know if you know the whole thing about Live Golf and the scandal that Saudis are sponsoring it and the PGA fight off with the two.
00:18:25
Speaker
But Shaq.
00:18:26
Speaker
Shaq goes in support for Charles Barkley.
00:18:29
Speaker
He says, I would have supported him every which way if he had gone on.
00:18:34
Speaker
This is the part that got me.
00:18:35
Speaker
He says, Charles is one of those legends, like Bill Russell, that didn't make a lot of money playing.
00:18:40
Speaker
Right?
00:18:42
Speaker
I hear you in comparison.
00:18:44
Speaker
You know how much Charles Barkley made?
00:18:46
Speaker
He made $50 million over the course of his career.
00:18:49
Speaker
I looked this shit up just because I was like, really?
00:18:51
Speaker
Is he broke?
00:18:52
Speaker
His net worth right now is $40 million.
00:18:57
Speaker
These guys are so out of touch that they think that's not good money.
00:19:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:05
Speaker
It reminds me of this story of this banker, senior banker I sat with.
00:19:09
Speaker
I was in the banking industry back then and the financial crisis.
00:19:12
Speaker
It was 2010, two years down the line.
00:19:15
Speaker
People have lost their homes and whatnot.
00:19:17
Speaker
It's just crap.
00:19:19
Speaker
And the senior banker is lamenting this fact.
00:19:22
Speaker
He's like, oh, yeah, it's tough.
00:19:24
Speaker
Well, two of my three houses have lost a bit of value in the UK.
00:19:29
Speaker
I thought, wow.
00:19:30
Speaker
What?
00:19:31
Speaker
You're whining about a little loss in value.
00:19:34
Speaker
People have literally lost their whole life savings.
00:19:39
Speaker
And that's it's being out of touch, people.
00:19:42
Speaker
It's just being around so much money.
00:19:44
Speaker
They don't know what they're talking about anymore.
00:19:45
Speaker
And when you know, and that's why that.
00:19:49
Speaker
I got to admire people like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and these guys at that point.
00:19:53
Speaker
I don't think they lost their head like this.
00:19:55
Speaker
They were focused on the right things, and these guys aren't.
00:19:58
Speaker
These superstars, they're just kind of annoying me now.
00:20:02
Speaker
Whose shirt should I buy right now?
00:20:05
Speaker
I want to support.
00:20:06
Speaker
I like having that, but I'm like, hey, man, I might buy some player's shirt and then jersey or whatever and then find out they've shipped off to another team.
00:20:17
Speaker
It's just.
00:20:20
Speaker
I don't know.
00:20:21
Speaker
I just feel bad for the other players.
00:20:22
Speaker
They're just sitting around.
00:20:23
Speaker
They're going to be displaced by these trades.
00:20:27
Speaker
Maybe sent to the worst teams all because one person wants to go.
00:20:31
Speaker
It's like you're being sent to the Jackson 5 for Michael Jackson.
00:20:35
Speaker
You're like, that's...
00:20:47
Speaker
And why are they allowed to do this?
00:20:49
Speaker
You know, these guys are good basketball players, but they're not necessarily good managers or constructing winning rosters or cultures, no matter how successful they are in NBA 2K and in the in the my GM mode or whatever.
00:21:06
Speaker
We've seen actors ruin franchises when they get too much control.
00:21:10
Speaker
Maybe not Tom Cruise, a fan of his, but other actors do that all the time.
00:21:14
Speaker
You can't.
00:21:16
Speaker
You can't do this.
00:21:17
Speaker
You can't.
00:21:17
Speaker
You can't have these players running around like that.
00:21:19
Speaker
That's just crazy.
00:21:20
Speaker
Ronaldo is worth like 500 million dollars or pounds or whatever he's made.
00:21:25
Speaker
Like it's insane money.
00:21:28
Speaker
I get it.
00:21:29
Speaker
Ben Simmons hasn't played a game.
00:21:31
Speaker
He's worth six million dollars, man.
00:21:33
Speaker
The guy has six million million.
00:21:36
Speaker
We say million like it's peanuts.
00:21:38
Speaker
It's not.
00:21:40
Speaker
It's a lot of zeros.
00:21:42
Speaker
And these guys, none of us are going to make that kind of money in our whole life, probably.
00:21:46
Speaker
A lot of us might not.
00:21:49
Speaker
Right.
00:21:50
Speaker
And so it's this wish without sounding anti players or anti whatever that.
00:21:58
Speaker
I don't know.
00:21:59
Speaker
I think these players at the top need to buckle down or something and start playing, right?
00:22:04
Speaker
Ronaldo throwing a hissy about the teams.
00:22:08
Speaker
I don't like the way the team is putting together.
00:22:11
Speaker
I don't know.
00:22:12
Speaker
Just be a more positive influence.
00:22:14
Speaker
These guys are at the dead end of their career anyway.
00:22:17
Speaker
What are they?
00:22:18
Speaker
34, 35, 36.
00:22:18
Speaker
I don't know how old is Ronaldo.
00:22:20
Speaker
I don't know.
00:22:21
Speaker
These guys, they just, okay, Ben Simmons is young, but he's an idiot.
00:22:24
Speaker
Ha, ha, ha.
00:22:26
Speaker
I don't care how talented you are.
00:22:27
Speaker
I don't care even if you're in your prime.
00:22:30
Speaker
There's got to be a place where the team owners go, all right, stop this.
00:22:34
Speaker
And look at all these stories, all right?
00:22:36
Speaker
Everything I'm talking about today.
00:22:37
Speaker
It's just, it's not men.
00:22:43
Speaker
It's not a race thing.
00:22:44
Speaker
To me, it's people with too much privilege and power.
00:22:49
Speaker
centered into one thing and then they go off their rockers.
00:22:53
Speaker
They just want to feed off that kind of stuff.
00:22:58
Speaker
Even coming back to these right-wing guys saying, I think Andrew Tate just said something.
00:23:03
Speaker
He got cornered in and he went, you know what?
00:23:05
Speaker
I'm just going to play it out now.
00:23:06
Speaker
Some PR guy probably said, play it out, be that person, and who knows what he really believes
Conclusion and Farewell
00:23:12
Speaker
anymore.
00:23:12
Speaker
Maybe he does.
00:23:13
Speaker
He's actually that guy.
00:23:16
Speaker
idiotic or he's doing it to get likes and fans and we all fall for it that's uh that's the way it's going to happen so you know what i'm gonna jump on that bandwagon and uh
00:23:29
Speaker
I'm going to title this one.
00:23:31
Speaker
If you're just listening to this right at the end, that means you made it.
00:23:34
Speaker
And on to me.
00:23:36
Speaker
I'm going to title this one Andrew Tate and Privileged Men and see what kind of bites it gets because I'm jumping on that bandwagon and see what happens to this episode in particular.
00:23:49
Speaker
All right.
00:23:50
Speaker
So if you've listened this far, you're on to my thinking right now and you've fallen for it as well, just like everybody else on the Internet.
00:23:57
Speaker
And there is no escape.
00:23:59
Speaker
We're just hooked on to this like it's a drug and it's going to happen again.
00:24:05
Speaker
And now, even though I've said it, it'll still happen.
00:24:08
Speaker
Right.
00:24:08
Speaker
That's the beauty of it.
00:24:09
Speaker
So anyway, this has been great.
00:24:11
Speaker
You guys have been great.
00:24:12
Speaker
I've had a chance to vent.
00:24:13
Speaker
I feel much better about my life.
00:24:15
Speaker
Probably my negative ranting has left you feeling hopeless, but I feel really great.
00:24:20
Speaker
So thank you for listening.
00:24:22
Speaker
I'll catch you guys at the next episode.
00:24:24
Speaker
Take care of yourself, guys.
00:24:25
Speaker
I'm out.
00:24:26
Speaker
Goodbye.
00:24:26
Speaker
Or as a dog would say, woof.
