0.0 I've been watching you for years before I started.
2.0 No way, really?
4.0 Oh yeah, for sure.
6.0 Oh, cool. What got you into the red pill space? What was your first viral video?
10.0 It’s actually a funny story. I never really consumed red pill content or read any books, but I mainly studied psychology and consciousness, and had a lot of personal experience in dating.
30.0 After COVID ruined my life—people are sick of hearing it—it ruined everything I had going for me. I was just sitting around with nothing to do, going nowhere, and made a cranky TikTok video that got 4 million views, so I made a career out of it.
50.0 It was a total fluke. I happened to have the skills to make it a successful career. The video was just a response to a 25-year-old girl saying, “Men with no hoes, where are you?” I made her a chart showing where those men are—basically, the men with hoes are up here paying attention to you and other hoes, and the men without hoes are down here sending you messages on Bumble and getting ignored.
70.0 It blew up, and I made a whole thing out of it.
80.0 How did COVID destroy your life? Did you lose your job?
83.0 I lost everything. I don’t want to get into too much detail, but I lost my income, extracurriculars, and social circle. All that stress plus the George Floyd stuff made my neighborhood a lot more dangerous—overnight, it went from good to bad.
110.0 A lot of stressful things happened at once, and I couldn’t handle it. It spiraled, and I didn’t start recovering for three years.
120.0 I don’t know anybody who had the George Floyd stuff directly affect them. I remember hearing protests, but—
130.0 Yeah, it wasn’t just protests. There was some opportunistic crime. I’d never seen crime on my street before, but that night, cars were pulling up, trying to break into apartments, and people tried to break into a gold shop. A guy upstairs thought they were breaking into his home, so after the cops came and scared them off, he went outside shirtless with a kitchen knife, terrified.
170.0 I saw all that from across the street. He thought 15 people were trying to break into his home.
180.0 It got unstable. After that night, all the windows were smashed, my car wasn’t safe, and everything changed overnight.
190.0 Were you able to move, or how long did you have to endure that?
193.0 I tried to put my life back together for almost two years after that. I made some changes, but I was in an area with long, repeating lockdowns. Every time I started planning my life, they locked us down again.
210.0 It was basically two years of no social life, very little dating. I met one girl on Hinge, but she only came over once because she was afraid of getting COVID and killing her parents. So, two years of nothing.
230.0 I saw a reply to one of my tweets that you had a girlfriend who told you not to do the YouTube stuff, that it was a waste of time.0 Is that true?
240.0 You might be misremembering a detail. I had a girlfriend last year but she didn’t tell me not to do YouTube. Earlier in my life, there was someone who told me not to do anything that would’ve brought me here.
260.0 I had a bad girlfriend at one point who, whenever I tried to develop my skills, said it wasn’t going anywhere and to stop. Maybe that’s what I referenced.
270.0 So how did you come to your observations? Was it all through personal experience and just analyzing society?
280.0 Yeah, it was a lucky combination of personal experience and my studies. I have a major in communications and studied Integral Theory. I’m really into consciousness and understanding how the mind works.
300.0 I’ve read 48 Laws of Power, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and Scott Adams’ Win Bigly. I started applying that stuff to real life and figuring out how the principles work in real time.
320.0 That’s the skillset I make the videos with. I was lucky to get a lot of experience along with my reading.
330.0 How has your life changed since you started content creation? Do you do it full time now?
335.0 Yeah, this is all I do. I haven’t had a day off in seven months. I basically don’t leave the house except for groceries. My life has changed a lot.
345.0 You love it, right?
347.0 Oh, it’s my favorite job I’ve ever had. I’d love to be able to go hiking or something, but there’s no time yet. The big change is I have money for the first time ever. I was making a pathetic amount before, but now things are going well.
370.0 That’s a big difference. I’m doing something I actually feel good about. Most of my jobs before didn’t feel meaningful, but this one does.
390.0 I’ve gotten to do life coaching. I always wanted to do that before, and now I’ve had the opportunity to prove I can bring people to breakthroughs within an hour session.
410.0 Sometimes it only takes 40 minutes to help people understand something new about themselves and start making new decisions. I get to apply my skills a lot.
420.0 The main two things are I can do something productive and worthwhile, and I have tons of money.
430.0 What are the most common realizations people have? Forty minutes is pretty quick.
435.0 They’re all very individual. For example, there was one guy who couldn’t figure out why he felt justified cheating—on everything, from work to relationships. I helped him find the core of that, and he had a breakthrough just before the hour was up.
460.0 Another person, a young woman, had a lot of bad dating experiences and wanted to know how to go forward. I reframed it for her: your future dating experiences can become your new “past” if you make different choices, and that shifted her perspective.
500.0 Another guy’s girlfriend got a desirable job, and he told her, “I knew this job would take you away from me.” I told him he should’ve said, “I’m so happy you brought this job into our life.” That wouldn’t change her being less available, but it would change the emotional content of the relationship.
530.0 That was probably part of why their relationship had trouble. There was also a guy whose marriage was ruined by an old friend, and he thought he was a good judge of character but missed something.
550.0 What he missed was that the friend was very beautiful, talked about wanting a family, but was always single. She was well-behaved, but the fact that she could easily have a family and didn’t was a red flag.
580.0 Yeah, lots of stuff like that.
582.0 Have you ever taken art lessons? Your stuff is so well drawn.
585.0 Thank you. It’s not, but thank you. It’s better than I can do.
590.0 Better than most YouTubers for sure.
592.0 I’ve never taken formal art lessons, unless you count high school. I took art in high school, but mostly I just draw in my spare time.
610.0 When I’ve had long periods without a job, sometimes I’d pass a day by drawing apples or something.
