The Loudest Man in the Room 

Whenever I see someone like Andrew Tate, I recall my grandpa's words: "An empty wagon rattles the loudest and the same applies to people and dogs."

In world filled with influencers who love to manipulate their audience to gain fame you're a gem sir wish there were more people like you

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak” - Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

"You want a quiet secure man who knows what he is doing." You're a truly well-spoken and intelligent person, thank you.

I wasn't expecting such a big shift in story. "If you're not rich, you're either a fool or lazy. Only a fool would say that." A point a view people need to understand and see. Absolutely an amazing video.

Many years ago my boss told me that the loudest, most arrogant person in the room generally knows the least about the subject being discussed. He told me this right before a meeting with a difficult customer. He also advised me to resist the urge to try to argue with that person just because you know that they are wrong. They have mastered the art of being full of bull.

More young men need to see this. Dwayne is a perfect example of the kind of man this world needs. Thank you for what you do!

“My dad wasn’t a fool, and he wasn’t lazy, and he’s damn sure not rich” speaking the truth about all these rich fools

Thanks for being the Dad a lot of us never had Dewayne.

Clicked on this video cuz I’m stoned and thought this was Tom Hanks. Stayed for one of the best messages I’ve ever heard. It is difficult being a 21 year old man in todays world with people like Andrew Tate and not enough of this guy. More young people need to hear this message. Bravo brother

I took a young man into my shop this summer because he wanted to learn to weld aluminum, I have a welding and machine shop service I've run for some thirty years. He sat down at my welding table, watched me run beads for about ten minutes, and then burned about eight hours up with me critiquing his hand, technique and foot/heat control. I've had many people come up wanting to learn to weld, but few have the patience to sit down and make mistakes until they lay a good bead, hear the sound of the arc, see the smoke rise steady and recognize what a good weld sounds like.. You got to be quiet, able to listen, to actually learn and grow. It's been more than fifty years since an older man sat me down and told me "now just lay a bead there, it'll sound like bacon and eggs frying when you're getting it right".

I've been watching you for 6 months now. I'm still that guy from Detroit. I became a bus driver since i watched you last. The last time i watched you, i was working at a factory. I was highly depressed and felt broken. You told me i could make a better life for myself if i tried. I did try and passed my trained top 3 in my class. I went through probation and now I'm a full time bus driver. I never knew i could do that and find a better job. I found a career. It's high stress but not like what i came from. Thank you for everything you do.. i love you.. you changed my life

My grandfather fought in WW2 against the Japanese. He once told me that they met up with some Gurkhas to defend a position who were all small in stature, very quiet and very softly spoken. But he told me that when it came time to fight they were devastating to the enemy as well as absolutely fearless. He finished up with ‘the quietest man is the best friend you will ever have when times are tough’ Very true! Fantastic content mate!

This is the gods honest truth. I’ve been in the military for almost a decade and I used to think I was so tough. But after being in for so long I’ve met some of the toughest humans on the planet. Green berets, army rangers, all different types of operators. And nearly every single one is soft spoken, they don’t show off, they are quiet and usually dress like they are going to church. They like to spend time with their families and usually drive something that’s good on gas.

Talking about the biggest guy on the internet without making a clickbait or using his name on the title of the video. That is a fair an honest man, thank you for the well spoken wisdom. Know that your knowledge and message goes beyond the borders of your country, actually cross continents until it hits on a young dude from Brasil. Keep up with your amazing work, delivering fractions of peace and experience in the middle of this madness that we live in.

At 42, the most difficult issue I've yet to encounter is the loudness of external influence in the direction of my children. I'm outnumbered but it's necessary to keep it moving. Great talk, man. I appreciate it and can relate.

Having been raised around strong men of many walks of life, from cowboys to veterans, I’ll second your statement. The quiet men are the ones you have to listen to. The loudest men in the room are the most scared. You, sir, remind me so much of my grandfather. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

You are awesome! To me, you are a textbook definition of what a Godly man looks like: respectful, mindful, mentally tough, gentle, caring, looking out for younger generations, humble, well-considerate, selfless, intelligent and wise and much more, choosing the guidance of the LORD over the Earth. Thank you for making these priceless videos, please never stop.

Glad I met your channel, sir. I'm a 21 yrs old young man who's fighting everyday to become better. I never understood or liked that kind of man or content, it's just empty and made to get views on social media and show how much money they're making. But your words carry wisdom and experience, and as an introvert man, I see everyday more that not being loud or calling attention for stupid reasons is a bless. I'm excited to keep learning with you, thank you for your videos.

In a world of brainwashing, manipulation, deception, false images, it's always a pleasure to your videos pop up on my feed Dewayne. It reminds me of the life advice my folks in south-Texas would give that was always so soothing, though gritty and real that will check you back into reality. Keep up the good work.

“When it comes time for the stuff to hit the fan, and it’s going to hit the fan, you want a quiet, secure man that knows what he’s doing.” 🙌🏼 Preach

The story about a hardworking poor dad really caught me off-guard emotionally because it's painfully true, and for those poor dads that sacrificed their lives for us just to be cast in the shadows so that showoffs like Tate can be our role model shows you how much we fell off as a society. Mr. Dwayne I really can't thank you enough for dedicating your channel to help out young folks like us, I'll be always thankful to God for stumbling on your videos. God bless you

I am 64 years old. I have no idea who this Tate fellow is. What I can say is, I can resonate with the things you say. Keep it up. You are a man who exposes the wisdom seldom found in this world.

Dogs bark, Wolves don't.

Men like you are the role models we young men need. Not empty hedonistic fools like Tate. Thank you, sir.

Good stuff. I'm a father in my 30's, husband, and martial artist. I agree 100%. It's great to have old school guys like you dropping wisdom and comfort for the younger guys. Thank you sir.

I NEVER comment on videos I see, even when the video is a great one, but I'm just here to say that this video is absolutely amazing and what every man needs to hear. If there were more people like you, Dennis, and your father, this world would be 1000 times better.

Letting go of my ego and pride helped me level up so much now I see the loud people and see through them.

Sir, I usually don't comment on RU-vid but today I'd like to get something off my chest. You've been a source of wisdom and inspiration to me ever since I stumbled upon your channel a year ago. I'm working hard to make things right with myself after years of struggle. Your life lessons have been of great help to me in this journey. Sometime ago, while watching one of your videos I realised how important an honest and good hearted role model is to someone. Ideally, the role of a parent. Something not so self-evident anymore in my opinion. I applaud and respect you for sharing your message to all those in search of guidance. Wishing nothing but the best for you and your family. Greetings from The Netherlands

As someone who never had a grandfather figure, this video genuinely made me feel like I was sitting with my grandad by a fireplace, enthralled by this storytelling laced with such invaluable wisdom. Thank you for what you do sir. ❤

Was just getting yelled at on Saturday by a big strong fella, I’m a sensitive guy and at first I was hurt. But as time went on, I realized he was one of these loud men. And I felt sorry for him, said goodnight to the group of people I was socializing with, and walked away. Proud of myself for noticing that it wasn’t me.

Earned a sub with this one. An insecure man will go to any length to hide his insecurities. A secure man doesn't have to. Excellent teaching.

We got a feller that lived up the holler from us in West Virginia I always looked up to. He was an absolute genius. He could make any vehicle run, was an electrician and could fix any hvac system. Drawed disability from the mines from the ceiling falling in breaking his back. Was poor as a church mouse but never charged a dime. Our heat went out 2am Christmas Eve one year 11 degrees outside. He was there by 2:15 and gone by 3 with a warm house. That’s who I look up to.

This guy gives dad advice many never had, very wise man…

Never seen someone elaborate the whole tate issue so welllll People need men like you Sir Not crooked boys like Tate

A good friend of mine is exactly as Dewayne describes. I'd known Steve for about 12 years before i learned how learned he is. He grew up on a cattle farm, (his mom is still on that farm), and he loved cattle so much, he went to school to learn more. When he sold his farm about 8 years ago to take a government research job in New Zealand, he sold off his flock, some of which were decendants of the cow he had as a teenager in the 4H. Before they went to NZ, i googled his name, and learned he is a doctor of beef cattle genetics, with mountains od accolades. After about 3 years, he moved to Missouri and took the position as head of genetics at Black Angus. What i love most about Steve, is that while he was VERY respected in a very specialized field, he was a farmer at heart, and everyone was an equal. He would NEVER tell about how successful he was in his field.

This is the wisdom we all need. As a 22 year old guy, Life feels surreal to me these days. Social Media has made us slaves to the opinions of others and we all try to live up to someone else's standards. Its a recipe for an empty, miserable life.

“Tate said if you’re not rich you’re either lazy or a fool. Andrew Tate is a fool”. 100%, perfect follow up example.

Thanks uncle Dwayne. Your a treasure of this world that helps me all the time. You may not think of yourself as a therapist but you give me better advice then any therapist that I’ve ever met. I hope your doin well.

Short but sweet comment to your videos “ protect this man and his ideals / values at all costs! “ Thank you! Your videos have helped me past my depression and anxiety to the point I had it playing when I was contemplating suicide. It’s hard being a man even more so in todays world where we are vilified before people even consider the person in question. Again thank you!

This man is a national treasure. We must respect and cherish him and his wisdom as long as we can...

I’m a 35 yr old homeschooling momma, so maybe not your target demographic, but I have a boy so I am always looking down the road and looking for how to shape his character to be a good man. So I love these videos. My daddy is that quiet man. Never went to the gym, was at work already when I woke up as a child, had a coffee cup permanently attached to his hand. No alcohol, drugs, or Tabasco ever entered our home. Momma was strict, and when we would rise against her, daddy would set his newspaper down and end it with a few words. He never did and still doesn’t talk much, but his words have authority. I’ve seen him cry four times in my life: the day his mom died, the day my mom was diagnosed with cancer, when he ran over my 16 yr old beagle, and the day he had to shoot a calf that had been born in a blizzard and had frostbite so bad it was sickening to look at. My husband admires him to no end and has put him on level with his own father for advice in many situations. And having a daddy like that helps a girl know who to look for in a husband. Mine isn’t the biggest guy in the room and he likes a good conversation more than most, but he certainly ain’t the loudest. We pray every day our boy follows the men in our family and not the Andrew Tates of the world.

I keep finding myself wanting to say, "preach!" Throughout this video. Lol! So glad my husband is not the loudest man in the room. He is a quiet man when it comes to his capabilities. Always ready to learn, and admit what he doesn't know. I just get more excited the longer we're married to see the man he'll continue to grow into. ❤

Hollow tins make the most noise. As always your wisdom is on point. I'm sure they may be topics I may disagree with, haven't found a vid yet, but that's life and what makes us unique. You provide strong morals and direction for many men & women, especially those like myself who have lost or don't have a father or male role model about. You are a real one.

Wisdom isn't easy to find these days, thankfully there's still a few good people left with a genuine heart. Thanks for the talk today and GOD bless you Sir.

Truer words were never spoken. Always tell the truth. Sometimes it will be trouble, but in the end, it's the right thing to do. Beware of the quiet man, he has nothing to prove. From 75 years experience.

“I don’t do this but I need to” is so powerful

I'm 49 years old and you help me . I look up to you. You teach me things my father never did 💯

Firstly, thank you Dwayne for using the internet to spread your folk wisdom. I completely agree with you, I grew up in a rural area surrounded by people of the "old school" who were honest, hardworking, but also sensitive and uncompromising when it came to deceit and injustice. I'm not an American, I'm from Serbia, but I believe that all of us who grew up in rural areas around the world, surrounded by animals, nature, and the strong character of our families, share a similar way of thinking and a common code, which is often considered conservative.

Tate is leading weak men further astray. I agree with you 1000%.

Can I start by saying thank you sir. You probably don't know this but these videos pull me out of my head. You speak the truth and your time and wisdom is much appreciated. I'm a British military veteran and I'm fighting my demons on a daily basis. Sir thank you for your help and your service.

I have been lost in life for a while. I have been coasting and hoping everything comes together in the end. I have never really had a man in my life that would teach me about life or be a role model but trough your channel I have found one. I am forever thankful for your channel sir and please keep spreading your wisdom.

“The most dangerous type of lie is the one that has the most truth in it.” That one hit me like a ton of bricks. I just left a community where I felt that things were moving sideways. Thank you for these fatherly and convicting and heartfelt videos. We need to look out for pitfalls and traps. I appreciate your sharing of wisdom, Dewayne. Thank you and God bless

Everyone on my framing crew looked down on me because I said Andrew Tate came off as insecure to me. They all said I was bonkers but I stood firm. This video just resonated with me so much.

Thank you Sir. That’s how my husband and myself raise our daughters as well. Never look for attention, validation nor change your baseline or lower your standards to make people like you or to become ‘popular’. Do your thing with the utmost personal growth focus, integrity and elegance. Learn to listen, to observate and to ‘feel’ into your surroundings, always open-minded but never naive. Learn about basic human psychology, psychopathic and sociopathic traits and how to spot manipulators, dangerous people, mentally disturbed people (I mean cluster b type). And learn to not defend yourself but walk away, never take the bate.

You managed to capture my thoughts in a way I could never verbalize them and put them on RU-vid... Great man!

The best Alpha dog I've ever had was one that - no matter how many dogs barked at him on our 3 walks a day - he remained silent. Within himself, he had the ability to unleash an incredible amount of energy, but chose not to. My Belgian Malinois walks quietly with confidence. He has the ability to Protect with every ounce of his energy, but chooses to keep it ready, quietly, and can unleash it, but the Alpha in him chooses not to. He knows what he is capable of without expressing it every day.

Dewayne, your views on andrew tate are as solid and honest and thoughtful i have heard from anyone before. I think You take your time to say what’s right and you are an inspiration as a person to me even a 14 year old agnostic guy in the UK with no interest in horse stuff. Thankyou.

You're a national treasure, sir !! Thank you for saying it out loud and put it out there for the world to take notes. The society we live in today is deceiving people, and everybody could use a little wake up call or a reminder of reality to keep their feet on the ground. Again, thank you for being here, and most importantly, for being you

Thank you for this upload. Really grounding, comforting, and helped me focus on a good direction for my life. It's been a heck of a year.

You may not be rich in money but you definitely rich in wisdom

Hey Dewayne, I must have missed your father’s passing. I’m sorry to hear about that. God bless you and your family. You have a gift for teaching wisdom, sir. Thank you for what you do. I pray your father rests in peace and that you all have as much peace as can be found on this earth.

Never seen this channel before in my life but brother when my man just whipped out the stogy and keep on going I instantly subscribed and liked. You’re a legend big dog. Thanks for the big pop of laughter and the fantastic advice. You’re doing the Lord’s work.

It helps to bring perspective to people who insist on bringing everyone down. Theyre bringing people down to them and their level of insecurity. This perspective helps to reframe obnoxious people. Thank you for your insights!

In a perfect world we'd all be a little more like you. I pray leaders like you for men and women rise up.

Dwayne, thank you. Seeing the support people like Tate gets online sometimes makes me feel hopeless. I have friends who endorse him, and I constantly hear "take the meat from the bones". Thank you for offering men fantastic alternatives. Evil continues because good men do nothing. You, sir, are a warrior for men's souls.

After watching some of your videos I gotta say more people need to hear your message. Especially with so many parents not preparing their children for this harsh but yet beatiful world. Wish you the best for you and your family sir!

Thank you sir! My respect! I always love getting a good humble reminder. God speed!

Sir, as someone who is mid 20's, has not had a father and a mother who wasn't really a "Mother" you have given me the best advice I've ever heard, your videos have changed my perspective on many things and have made me a better person for it. Thank you for your excellent advice, I'll carry it throughout the rest of my life! - UK

You are my Zorro! You inspire me so much. Who knew that sitting and chatting to your RU-vid audience could be this powerful. Your authenticity is refreshing. I am going to use your inspiration to help me create a more authentic RU-vid channel. Thank you Dwayne.

My frist video of u! Thank u! IAM in CT, very powerful words and said with truthful conviction! "Food for thought" ty!!!

Dennis is legitimately the spitting image of my friend named Joseph. He was raised in the Mennonite church but left and is now just a normal Christian; he is the quietest and most soft-spoken person I've ever met; he does not smoke, chew, or drink; and he is the most adversely talented man I know in terms of bushcraft. I can verify that he is 100% the type of man you would want as a friend. My grandfather was this way as well. Sadly, he passed away four years ago.

I used to look up to Tate entirely too much. Last week I realized that my tone of voice and word choice were misunderstood by a lot of women and a few men. So I changed. I don't want people to think I'm some careless, crass man. After learning just that lesson alone, coming back and listening to Tate made me realize exactly what you're talking about. He's just not as well rounded as I thought. Thanks for the video man.

Powerful message Dwayne. Can't thank you enough.

Just found your channel I never even knew who rate was until you brought him up, imo there’s 1 of him in every job scene if you’re working for someone else. The corporate machine is all about bonuses and raises and how much money THEY make, meanwhile the employees that actually do all the work and sale the product or whatever it is they do make small fry.. this has been going on forever but increasingly so after the pandemic. Worlds an unjust and unfair place these days.

The only thing my father was good for was showing me at such a young age how horrible and cruel humans could be. However, I have my grandfather who was very much a father figure to me. This man, (my grandfather) is the closest thing to Jesus Christ than anyone I’ve ever meet. The true unconditional love I see him have for complete strangers is awe inspiring. What is inspiring to me is that my grandfather spent 5 years in a prison camp during ww2. He experienced so much pain, so much suffering. Losing almost everything, and everyone. Through all of that, he persevered. Not only ending up being a father figure for myself but a role model for many others. When i think of all of that when compared to my father. How both men approached live so differently, even if it was the same task. I am truly thankful that I had him as a surrogate father figure. (Especially now that I’m an adult) Because, I think I would have turned out very differently. This is why your important Dewayne! Like all men with absent fathers, we collect our father figures and build subconsciously a father figure from them all. While my grandfather is a father figure he isn’t the only one. So thanks Dewayne! You mean a lot to a lot of people!

Andrew Tate is the Fool's Gold of a man. Many men are looking to become better, stronger, and more experienced, and Tate totes how he can teach you that. It's sad that a lot of guys will see him as the answer when he lives an empty insecure life.

thank god for you. I recently lost my father and in listening to your videos and talks it reminds me of the things he always said to me.

Your heart for seeing young men succeed in life comes through loud and clear in these videos. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your wisdom.

"Every guy is a tuff guy, until he meets one."

I tell my son to always be the quiet man in the room. Be the observer. Usually the people that are the most insecure and full of BS are the loudest and most annoying… Be the silent one. That way when you do speak it’ll carry more weight… and don’t be afraid to call people on their BS.

Thank you for sharing. I really needed to hear this information. God bless you

Thanks again for the life lesson! Some of these topics just don't get brought up enough. We are clouded by entertainment. I value your opinions and advice. Finally subscribed

tate actually did say he isnt proud of what he did. but i agree with you. i think he wraps up bad messaging with some good messaging. the biggest thing for me with him and the other red pill influencers is teaching young men that the way to attract women is with money. i think its good to be ambitious. but if you try to attract women with money, what you will attract is women that will be with you for your money. thats not love, and it completely misses the point

Wow, there's a ton of wisdom here. The loudest men in my life have always been the most insecure. I appreciate you pointing out the hypocrisy of the A.T. followers, and I wish I could communicate this as effectively with my own friends. I think it's really unfortunate how much childish grandstanding he does instead of encouraging men to actually be decent people. I have a lot of respect for the wisdom you shared here. Thanks.

Tremendous! Thank you for your wisdom! Love from Australia

Here here. I am with you and your message. Thank you for sharing.

Just lost my grandfather two months ago to a house explosion. His temperament was the same as yours. I wish I had more time with him. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this Dwayne. Tate has always struck me as a guy who is right about things that are wrong, but he’s way off the mark on what is actually right. Tate isn’t an example to follow. By his own admission he seems like he has hurt and bitterness from his father and he’s used money and possessions to create a tough persona and gather people around him. Deep down he’s still a hurt little boy.

Sir, these are some much needed words of wisdom in these crazy times where it's really hard to tell good from bad

Dewayne today’s message’s is the cornerstone for life; respect and value, respect and value yourself, others, and life’s work. When we respect and value whatever process your are addressing you will become successful, personally, relationships, professionally, and spiritually. Keep these videos going.

As a 27 year old guy planning on becoming an electricians apprentice this year, this is what I needed. I needed to hear a man who is older than me who has wisdom and knowledge confirm what I thought to be true about wealth and insecurity. The media and the internet will have men believe that money is the only goal in life, I have never felt this way. I couldn't care less about how much money someone has. We've all been led down a weird path where somehow what matters most is now considered an afterthought. I wish more men were like you, us young guys desperately need men like you to help guide us and give us advice.

Subscribed. Your message is pure and true. God bless brother. Enjoy your cigar.

Thank you very much sir. In the military and at the age of 27, I need this sort of guidance more than ever.

This is my absolute favourite video by far. You just said what has needed to be said for a long time. The fact that this guy is a perceived idol for so many is a testament to the dark times we're living in. It shows how lost some young people have become. If that were not the case, a man like Tate would never have been able to become so popular. Thank you Dwayne.

Well said Dewayne. I often find myself telling people that they’ve got a long wait if they’re hoping to find a benevolent billionaire.

That was some great advice to people! Thanks for taking a moment to help some people that might be struggling

Not only helping the young folk Dwayne. Many thanks for sharing your wisdom. x

This is the second time you’ve made a video that’s so timely to my life, I almost can’t believe it. I had a friend suddenly become the loudest man in the room, and do some horrible things while he was at it. Thank you for this message

Not pulling punches here. I see why this was tough for you; 1st I've seen of this type of video, mind you I've not seen all your vids. Got Goosebumps right when you switched from Dennis' grizzly story to Tate, powerful switch up. Lots of truths in here.
