Mike Thurston Gives His Opinion After Meeting Andrew Tate 

Full episode with Mike goes live this Monday. Press Subscribe people.

Loved this self interview.

Am I the only one who thought these two, were same person

Seriously impressive editing. Genuinely looks like there were two people involved in the interview. Ask question. Stop recording. Change clothing. Move to other seat. Start recording. Answer question in different accent. Repeat.

It was cool to see Chris interview his stunt double.

More of these self interviews please

The reason Tate is the one people want to be like as opposed to Peterson, Willink etc is because he physically shows off and advertises the primal desires that guys have from a young age. He has money, women, and the ability to fight. He is a great marketer and knows exactly how to press people's buttons. The problem with role models is that the best ones tend to be everyday people who achieve the fundamentals such as creating a loving family and making a good life for themselves by creating value for others. If war was to break out, this man would have the courage to protect his family and gather other men to him in order to fight. It's not glamourous nor sexy and takes a lot of discipline and effort. Tate lives the playboy lifestyle which is a male fantasy but requires a whole different set of sacrifices to achieve that 95% of guys think they want but aren't really built for and would hate it if they experienced it for long enough. He does talk a great game however and you can tell that he means a lot of it despite his lack of filter which makes him an easy target for the wrong bunch. PS: to add to this (from personal experience), when people don't have an abundance of something, and they crave it, they tend to compare themselves to those who have the most of it. What they don't realise is that having that thing (money, women, power etc) has diminishing returns and you only need enough to satisfy your needs. Certain people center their lives around acquiring a thing and gather it for the sake of it because their personality is hyper competitive. 99% of people need an optimal amount and a balance. Tate has clearly stated over again that money was his focus from a young age and acquiring it gives him a sense of purpose.

It was from the Mike Thurstons video that I got to know first who Andrew Tate was.

“The only difference between a hero and the villain is that the villain chooses to use that power in a way that is selfish and hurts other people.”- Chadwick Boseman

These two guys look like brothers

Clones, These guys look so similar and have the same voice + accent 😂😂😂

Looking for role models in ‘media’ is part of the issue (used to be TV, sports, music, etc. podcasters and RU-vid personalities is the same principle). Being like someone else is an unrealistic goal

Chris, loved the way you handled this topic. You basically mentioned every single one of my male models, except Harmozi, and then you mentioned him. Another guy who’s also been doing cool stuff is Russel Brand and Tom. Keep up the Great Podcast ❤

I always Had the Feeling that Mike and Chris were the same person, Who's with me? I think they look A LOT alike!

when is the full episode coming out

I think Chris and Mike gave a good clear cut on this interview. A wonderful perspective. And not so thought provoking. 😊

Very insightful and great practical tips. Thanks Chris and Mike 💪🏽

Without watching let me guess: He is a nice guy in a real life.

Firas Zahabi and GSP are great role models. They have the smarts and the physicality.

This is like the video where Joe rogan was talking to Joe rogan

This podcast is amazing, great stuff Chris 🙌

I just have a hard time finding anything that Andrew Tate says that 100's of other men haven't already said before him. Work out, do hard things, focus on work, do it regardless of how you feel, men have been saying this literally for thousands of years. Going all the way back to the stoics, these same exact lessons have been taught. I don't see anything original at all, OTHER than the delivery. His communication is good. The message, it's as old as time...

Maaan i love Mike and Tate, awesome to see Chris talking about this shit 💯❤️

I love both of you guys

Mike is such a materialistic guy. He strikes me as someone who is trying to better himself, but hasn’t ever considered that this might mean more than being a successful, competent person. He ignores the spiritual, ethical, and cultural dimension of human life completely.

"HE WAS TRYING TO SHOW OFF A BIT TOO MUCH" BIT RICH MIKE

Who is chris talking about at 4:29, when he says he went to the power slap event with him and the guy is extremely competent?

Tate is not unique in his core positive message, but he reaches way more people by his viral trolling approach to it. I think Tate strongly believes that the potentially 'toxic' side-effects of people taking that trolling seriously and literally is worth it for the greater goal of his own fame and outreach. There are positives and negatives to his influence - it would be preferred if the biggest viral figures were the ones that were solely positive, but it seems like there is no better way to go viral than to trigger people and become controversial.

Some people like Tate BECAUSE he says what he wants.

Two of my favs, together ❤️

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. The biggest manipulations involve throwing in smart, obvious facts and motivational talk. This helps you to believe he’s a ‘good’ person. He is still the person he showed before but is being smarter now he has a platform and much to lose. People DID watch those original videos. He still believes women should be subdued.

So as long as they say “wake up and work hard” you’ll give them a pass on the rest of their message being trash?

Great stuff

Who does Chris mention at 4:27? Hal Mosely?

30% of what he says is to garner views which is completely fine. You need to stay controversial so as to stay relevant but people are way to sensitive and take everything quite literally. I like Andrew tate and alot of his videos are actually not that regressive rather they motivate people to work on themselves and be better.

David Goggins is the best example of healthy masculinity imho

Roger Federer role model

great video

I legit thought these guys were the same person.

Andrew Tate is the wrong answer to the right question.

Why wouldn’t a man strive to be competent , confident, assertive , physically attractive, having the ability to think for yourself , the freedom to become better in essence is Tates tenets . Why is that Wrong?

Andrew tate makes u think because of his delivery, and he also talks a lot about the ppl who run the world, ppl in power don't want attention to themselves!

Like Mike said, very few man have the whole package.

He must of seen me and thought Mike seems like a cool guy... "how wrong he was" Haha ruthless

Hom ozima? Who’s the guy they mentioned near the end

Tate is no different than the rest of these social media caricatures. They know what to say and do to go viral and be dog whistles to men and women that feel invisible. In real life they don’t say any of that ish

Who was the guy they mentioned, momozy?

In the western world top athletes and undisputed guys like kambosos, thor bojohnson, bjs, calzaghe for the last generation with present dads are good role models. Boxing has always had a lower class audience so the trashy media doesnt report correctly on these people.

I think the guy on the left started sounding more like the guy on the right as the interview went on.

Rich Froning the GOAT of role models 👌

the most detailed breakdown of tate ive ever seen is done by a romanian excon on a youtube channel called montana vlog international, he explains that to run the "webcam" business even if youre the nicest person in the universe you have to commit actual crimes to turn a profit - specifically his video titled "andrew tates business in romania"

This video is sped up. Does anybody know by how much?

I first starting watching Tate in 2018... he always had crazy charisma

I learned about Tate a few weeks ago due to someone talking about his situation overseas. Interesting subject all around.

3:46 Those are all very far lmao Or frame it as pieces of each of them. And really hammer down that not everyone needs to aspire to be a podcaster.

Who are they speaking of at 4:32

Chris, how mad were you when you found out that the camera wasn't focused on you lol

Honestly I don't think you have to be superman to be a Good role model, just be vocal and don't get arrested. Joey swoll types. Express the value of hardwork but with a large chunk of respect. Tate is not doing boys any favors in respect to the views he expresses about women. You take an already unpopular boy and he tells the average girl she belongs at home,that she's mens property, lol he's toast.

The ideal man I believe is a combination of Jordan Peterson and David Goggins.

Who is Chris referring to? The guy who sold his business for 100m? I didn't catch the name..

4:25 - who is this guy Howl Mosey? Am i spelling his name wrong? I'd like to look him up - thanks!

3:26 David Goggins goddamit. Or Greg plitt( if you dont know him google)he was f..in legendary.

See, I find Goggins so inspiring. He embdies true struggle and what overcoming difficulty can yield. Tate I see as a joke really if im honest. I dont feel inspired by him. Jocko is also a fucking beast, as is Huberman.

Who’s the guy Chris mentioned at 4:27?

This guy can crush diamonds with those forearms... Gisus!

Chris 'Nine Toes Dangling Out The Closet' Williamson

Kobe Bryant is the best role model any guy or person can have. JP and JR too.

this guy has an uncanny resemblance to Kun Aguero

Good chat and nice to see Mike not be afraid to defend Tate…..Tate is Tate just as you are you…..I hate these snowflakes who act like God and tell us how to live and think. Be kind, be honest be yourself ..that’s it !!!

I thought these two guys were the same guy. Good to know the difference.

Who is Hall Mosimann he mentions?

Couldn't agree more with this 👍

i think the big difference between the tate brothers and the other people that are good role models is that the tates speak about how to get women what is especially for man between 16 and 26 or so extremely intereesing becaus the sex drive gose crazy.... yes a relationship is nice but some women can be a burden or dont want as often as the guy... but i would say all the role model man say 99% the same things... they may use different words or storys or analogys but the massage is like copy and paste (what is good it indicates that its right when all respectable top man have the same things that makes them like they are).... but the tates are the only ones that speak about getting mor the one women and that this is okey... both tates clearly give me the Impression that they prefer one or at least a few stabel wife(s) at least in the long run but they say that it is okey th have generat some experience be or that.... you can have a debate if this is good if you go after some believe systems or religions or idiologis ... or if is moral or ethical or not.... or if it is healthy for a man or not.... or whatever.... but it trigers the urge that most if not all man have in there back of the head form the start of puberty till idk 30+ that you want to sleep with the attractive women you see.... i think that is the difference sorry for mistakes or bad Grammer I'm a noob in languages

Let's flip it around. Who are the good role models for women? And what are those role models teaching women? At least men have JBP, Tate, Myron, Rollo, Rich Cooper, Kevin Samuels (RIP) and many others. Who do women have? Alex Cooper from Call Her Daddy? Megan The Stallion? Nicki Minaj? The Kardashians?

I too thought this was the same person lmao 😂

3:21 What episode?

Im 100% at how he describe Tate. Tate is right maybe 70-80% and then he is 20% really wrong. But i think he is a better role model than many modern "men". But i think if you stay with Goggins, Joe Rogan, Peterson and Dewayne Noels from Dry creek wrangler you have a really good guide for men.

how I be taking to myself at 4 am

Without Mike that Bugatti joke would’ve never been captured. Think about it.

You guys are the role models young men should be looking up to 💪

Tate is the real deal is because from his journey from beginning to up to his success is what young men want ans go through all this other good men is hardly ideal .

OMG! bro, i literally thought mike thurston was interviewing himself....dude their face features are so much alike LOL

What about his criminal proceedings? What about these girls than brand themselves with his name? I was intrigued by Tate at first but not even touching on these issues about him is a bit off.

You both look like brothers

Damn Mike, expected more out of you. Keep your friends close and you enemies closer i guess.

man, want but stay in the want. that has always been like that... thats why its so valuable to find a healthy aware alpha. its rare.

Tate is absolutely necessary, because he directly opposes the mainstream message. Rogan and others like him are good, but they don't go out of their way to capture the minds of young men.

Justin Baldoni I think is a great role model for the modern man to consider.

i love your classy Podcast - that you do not swear and have cogent, timely, compelling topics. Thank you for bringing today’s male guest Mr Thurston- he is a fine example of a educated and classy man!

Andrew Tate glamorises a lot of what the others talk about. If you ask me who I'd follow, I'll pick Willink or Rogan probably. Peterson has helped me enormously, but I'm not a Christian. Tate, is that sort of crazy fun uncle who had a mid-life crisis and everyone secretly wants to be like for a little while. Not sustainable.

You guys are twins!!

Dan Pena has been around a long time and said everything you are not supposed to even think about 😂

4:25 I CAN'T HERE THE NAME CLEARLY WHO IS THIS MAN HE'S SPEAKING ABOUT

Mike nailed it.

Jordan Peterson Andrew huberman tim Ferris’s joe Rohan jockonwillinc david gogginsb

These two look like twins

Mike is honest and he’s not judgmental,, BUT we should not take people as role models as a whole but maybe some or more of their actions manners! But I am sorry when it comes to controversial things the whole person should not be praised for doing anything!!! But rather people praise him and hurray him “tate” in everything and if he doesn’t take back what he said or say something better it is the same because his actions/words created clans of really badly influenced people.

Why are you wearing 2 watches at 1 time

4:27 Who are they talking about that sold a 100 million business and drives a Tesla and was with Chirs in Las Vegas

Tate best manr ❤
