00:07Tem um monte de voz e polarizante,
00:11bossing-nos em como se behave...
00:13...comfortable.
00:13Se você se sente depressa,
00:15é porque você é um f*** que não está sendo produtivo.
00:18Eu sou James Blake,
00:19e eu assisti-se isso,
00:20e até repostei-se.
00:22Olha isso, eu nunca vou deixar isso no meu social media.
00:25É mudando o que nós achamos.
00:27Eu sei se você não quer que você tenha um heartbreak,
00:29você está em um red pill.
00:31E como nós nos comportamos.

00:36Eu tenho acesso a esse mundo,
00:39a so-calleda manna-sphere.
00:42Então, tem uma coisa aqui,
00:44que é chamado a Walla de Shame.
00:45Eu quero saber o que nos nos conecta.
00:48Masculina é muito comum.
00:50Eu posso sentir orgulho.
00:52Eu nunca senti orgulho antes.
00:54E como nós nos mudamos.
01:02Eu sempre senti a pressa para ser um bom e sucessivo.
01:07Eu tenho 78 self-help audiobooks.
01:10O Courage To Be Disliked,
01:12O Chimp Paradox,
01:13que é um livro muito bom,
01:15sobre controle de sua mente e coisas assim.
01:18Eu tenho mais de volta a social media
01:20para saber a vida.
01:21Eu comecei a ver esse livro,
01:24porque eu vi um conteúdo que Andrew Tate fez.
01:29E ele recomendou uma série de livros.
01:30Então, esse livro aqui é chamado Pimpology,
01:34um,
01:34por um pimp chamado Pimpin Ken.
01:37O autor fala sobre como os pimpos controlam tudo.
01:41E me lembra o que está acontecendo com esses online influencers.
01:44É um extremo e choque theory
01:47em Gideon Power.
01:49O seu trabalho é a dream de glamour,
01:51sucesso e a vida que nunca houve.
01:53Ele tem que olhar para o que ele está jogando.
01:55Algumas coisas que o cara está dizendo em este livro,
01:59eu percebo que Tate repurposes em seu social media contento.
02:05Esse grande industria de male influencers
02:08é prestando valores sobre fitness,
02:11making money e mulheres.
02:12Eles estão usando clickbait ou attention.
02:15Eu automaticamente ganho em cada cenário
02:17porque de como sucessivo eu sou.
02:19Nesse guys finish last
02:20porque eles nunca sete a fucking rule.
02:24Um dos mais populares é o UK's Hamza Ahmed,
02:28com mais de 2 milion YouTube subscribers.
02:31Eu quero ajudar a fucking beginners.
02:32Eu quero ajudar a massas
02:33a gente começar a fazer um sales.
02:35Eu quero ter uma tribe de fucking milhões de pessoas
02:37que me parece que eu tenho ajudado muito.
02:43Quando você olha isso, você pensa

02:48é uma grupo para melhorar você,
02:50como uma pessoa,
02:51você se torna melhor.
02:54É muito positivo,
02:56mas é muito culto.
02:59Eu quero ligar para jovens
03:01que estão no cyber world.
03:03Eu quero ligar para jovens
03:16que estão no cyber world.
03:30Sam cuts his YouTube content
03:31from his parents' home in Coventry.
03:33He's followed Hamza for years
03:36e quit school
03:37to build a life he's seen online.
03:40So I'm currently making this video
03:42while climbing a tree.
03:44To make a point,
03:46if you want to sort of start a business,
03:48you want to start a YouTube channel
03:49or something like that,
03:50but you're scared of people at school
03:51telling you that it's cringe or whatever,
03:53then honestly, look,
03:54it sounds brutal,
03:55but you're never going to succeed
03:56if you keep giving in to those fears.
04:00Tell me a bit about why you're up the tree.
04:03The whole sort of message
04:04I like to give is just
04:04do what you truly want to do.
04:06I was 13 when I started
04:07watching self-improvement videos.
04:09Wow, that's crazy.
04:10It was a guy named Hamza
04:12at the very start
04:13and I'm not scared to say
04:14that he changed my life.
04:15I guess essentially taught me
04:17how to grow up in a weird way.
04:23So this is your dad, Sam.
04:25Nice to meet you, Phil.
04:26Are you proud of Sam?
04:26Absolutely.
04:27He's a very ambitious boy, isn't he?
04:30He certainly is, yeah.
04:31Does he get it from yourself?
04:33No.
04:34Oddly enough.
04:35Yeah.
04:36He's self-taught, aren't you?
04:41Don't you actually want to be a man?
04:42Don't you want to go through hijits
04:43and really train yourself?
04:44Because you have to go through shit.
04:46Sleeping on the floor is just
04:47another one of these things.
04:47If you want to win,
04:48this is what it takes.
04:50I've slept on the floor
04:51for about the past year and a half.
04:54Right.
04:54I saw something online saying about it.
04:57No way.
04:58And I tried it
04:58and I just really, really preferred it.
05:00So basically this is what you do
05:01at night then?
05:03Yeah.
05:03Get everything moved out.
05:05And that's it.
05:05That's where I go to sleep.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Let me see.
05:09I'm going to have a wee
05:09go at this myself,
05:10see what this is like.
05:12Let's see.
05:14It's quite nice just to come up.
05:15Do you just lie like this
05:17to stare at the ceiling
05:17or what do you do?
05:18I always lie down on my back first
05:19for a few minutes.
05:20Yeah.
05:20I kind of feel my spine
05:22and my lower back decompressing.
05:24But overnight you really do feel it.
05:27Yeah.
05:28I don't know if I'd be often to do this
05:30to be fair.
05:31I get it.
05:32Sam's starting to back off
05:33Hamza's guru-like
05:34and objectifying lessons.
05:37Can you tell me more about him?
05:38I was one of Hamza's top students
05:40in another paid group he had
05:41which taught you how to make money
05:43and everything.
05:43But then when he started switching over
05:46to teaching about casual sex
05:48I stopped following him as much.
05:50He used to be a self-improvement YouTuber
05:53preaching for guys to sort of
05:55get their life together,
05:56get that act together.
05:57Mostly targeting guys who sort of felt like
05:59they'd been almost done in by the system.
06:01Hamza then brings in self-improvement.
06:03It's this whole new mission for you
06:05where you can improve your mind
06:06with meditating.
06:07You can improve your body
06:08by going to the gym.
06:09He really changed a lot of our lives with that.
06:11So this is his most recent video here.
06:15That's the day that Jeffrey got blackpilled.
06:17He starts watching all these videos
06:19about the black pill
06:19and about Lux Maxing
06:20but he doesn't realize
06:22that it's not all about looks.
06:24Adonis.
06:27It's great isn't it?
06:28Who's Adonis?
06:29Is this a character or?
06:31Adonis is kind of like the epitome
06:33of who you become
06:35if you follow Hamza's teachings.
06:37Okay.
06:38He had the three things
06:40that makes a man irresistible.
06:43And of course,
06:44because he's an ambitious man,
06:46he also leveled up his looks as well.
06:48That's how he became the ultimate man.
06:51Did you ever make any content
06:53in the style of what he does?
06:55Yeah.
06:56When I was 14,
06:56I just started making self-improvement videos.
06:59This is my first ever video.
07:00Six months ago,
07:02I spent hours after school playing video games
07:04with up two,
07:05three,
07:06even four times a day.
07:08And the worst part was,
07:09I literally did not have any friends.
07:12I was not happy with my life.
07:14But then,
07:15I found self-improvement.
07:17I started working out,
07:18building a physique I am proud of.
07:20It changed my life entirely.
07:22So Sam,
07:23what was the response to the video?
07:25People didn't actually know about it at first.
07:27So I used a fake name.
07:28So it like blew up on TikTok.
07:30And then like my whole school found it.
07:31And I was off school at the time.
07:33And my friend sort of just messaged me saying like,
07:35everyone's laughing at your TikTok.
07:36I physically just like jumped up out of it.
07:38And I was just going,
07:39no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:41Everybody just started making fun of me.
07:43It was almost like I'd been outcasted.
07:45Eventually,
07:46they kind of gave me this nickname,
07:48which was Sigma Sam.
07:49I'm like, yeah,
07:50I am different than you.
07:51And I'm glad to be.
07:52It seems a little isolating to do that.
07:57It is.
07:57It was very, very lonely, I think.
07:59So in the real world,
08:01who are your friends?
08:02I don't have any friends in real life anymore.
08:06Manosphere gurus advise you to reject anyone
08:09who doesn't share the same values.
08:12You don't realize how much you are influenced
08:15by the people around you.
08:18Sam's cut off real world friendship
08:20to build his own online community.
08:24Today,
08:25lads from India,
08:26Pakistan,
08:27France,
08:27Turkey,
08:28and the USA
08:29are getting Sam's feedback
08:30on their websites and channels.
08:34I've really started liking this style
08:36because I'm always like the analytical kind of guy.
08:39I really love this.
08:40You just explain why perfectly you started doing this.
08:43Do you think the about page is good in terms of like the layout?
08:47It looks pretty amateur.
08:49What make it look less amateur?
08:51Like what Hamza sort of used to do with his old videos.
08:54It's like,
08:55it'd be top seven tips to get girls and everything.
08:57And we'd all click on the video like, yeah, yeah.
09:00And then inside the video, it'd be like,
09:01oh yeah, you've got to meditate.
09:02You hook them in with the dopamine and then give them the real advice
09:05they actually need to hear.
09:06That's sort of how we go about it.
09:11Sam disagrees with Hamza's opinions on casual sex,
09:15but he's following his advice to live his life online
09:18and find like-minded lads.
09:23Women are master manipulators.
09:27Women have ruined society.
09:30It is men versus women.
09:35For all the talk of brotherhood,
09:37there's a lot of time spent on women and relationships.
09:41Inside Hamza's community, it's more than sex talk.
09:45He's selling a five-hour red pill course about dating on a man's terms.
09:51I want to get you to the point where you can be,
09:54and you are the red pill alpha male,
09:56where you can fuck hundreds of girls.
09:58When a guy only speaks to one girl at once,
10:01he turns, it like it fucking ruins your brain.
10:03Don't take her emotions seriously.
10:06Literally think to yourself that women are just grown up children.
10:10I'm in the community here.
10:12See what this is.
10:12This guy called Shane.
10:13He said that Hamza's red pill course is literally 100% correct.
10:18Hamza was right.
10:19This red pill game is real.
10:21Lead, act of intent, be dangerous,
10:23and women will feel it instantly.
10:25It worked for him.
10:26He's got what he wanted out of it.
10:3622-year-old Shane is a criminology graduate living in Liverpool.
10:41He's been in the manosphere since his late teens,
10:44and says he took the red pill after a recent breakup.
10:48Shane's applying the influencer's teachings to the real world of dating.
10:57Shane?
10:58Yeah?
10:58How are you doing, man?
10:59How are you?
10:59I'm good, man. How are you?
11:00Yeah, I'm good. Nice to meet you.
11:01How are you getting on? You doing a bit of training?
11:03Yeah, yeah, man.
11:04You're a big lad.
11:05Yeah.
11:05What height are you?
11:06Six foot six.
11:07Six foot six?
11:08Yeah, yeah.
11:08See, I'm not this small, guys. I'm actually six foot.
11:12Men who accept mainstream ideas about romance are called blue-pilled,
11:17while the red pill rejects those norms and puts men first.
11:21I've heard of the terminology red pill.
11:25Can you tell me a bit more about that?
11:26Well, that would be too crude and vulgar.
11:28I think it's essentially living your dating and sexual life
11:30to your kind of preferences, right?
11:32Whether that is monogamy, whether it is you want multiple sexual partners.
11:35It's essentially living true to yourself.
11:37That's what I think it as, anyway.
11:39Do you believe in all of it, or do you think that there's areas of it that aren't quite right?
11:43No, I believe in like 90% of it.
11:45But the issue is people being unfaithful in, obviously, social media these days
11:48and all sorts of issues there.
11:50And I think the red pill is almost like a shield to that.
11:53It's like, okay, well, if you don't get too emotionally invested,
11:56then, you know, you can avoid all the heartbreak tree and all that kind of stuff.
12:00Is that not kind of, like, unfulfilling, though?
12:02Like, to feel that way that, right, I can't actually give any of myself to this person
12:08because they're going to hurt me.
12:09True, you could say that, you could say that.
12:11But at the end of the day, I say if you don't want to get your heartbreak,
12:15then try on the red pill.
12:17Are you talking about this from experience?
12:20Like, has there been a past relationship or something like that that has hit you like this?
12:24Yeah, I was literally what Hamza would call the blue pill guy.
12:27The blue pill beta male, so to speak.
12:29Can you explain what that is, the blue pill?
12:31Yeah, it's the traditional, normal way of doing relationships.
12:34The monogamy, you know, you settle down with a woman, you get married.
12:36I was the gentleman, took her on the dates, brought her the gifts, the flowers, etc.
12:40That's one of the most important things I've learned.
12:41No one kind of respects the nice guy.
12:43Yeah.
12:44No one, not men, not women, not anyone respects it.
12:47Are you on date naps at the minute?
12:48Yeah, yeah, I'm on Hinge, yeah.
12:49Tell me a bit more about that. How's that going?
12:50Um, yeah, man, well, I think the main thing about Hinge is for me is, um, level of attraction
12:57since I've gotten so I've probably just skyrocketed.
12:59This is, um, you know, the first woman from my first fight.
13:02Yeah, yeah.
13:02And I see just some prompts.
13:04So, the way to win me over is Archer Black, not too bad.
13:06Yeah, I mean, that's really funny to me.
13:07Do you get, like, people reacting to that?
13:10Um, yeah, generally quite good.
13:11Obviously, there's some people that are like, oh, my God, because the girl I'm seeing now
13:13when she saw these prompts, she was like, I was so attracted to you, but the prompts put me off
13:17a bit.
13:17This is the part where Hamza talks about is, like, you've got to position yourself as being the red pill
13:20guy,
13:21and they wouldn't want you more.
13:23What's your situation?
13:26Um, right now, I'm seeing a girl that I like.
13:29She's, again, into fitness, into the gym.
13:31We have so many shared interests.
13:33Beautiful girl, amazing.
13:34Sounds like the golden ticket.
13:36Mm-hmm.
13:36Yeah.
13:37Um, of course, you know, um...
13:40Explain that to me.
13:42What does that mean?
13:42The issue is, is like, um, obviously, I've seen the whole, like, red pill course in it.
13:46Yeah, yeah.
13:46So, obviously, in my head, it's like, here's the grass, greener, somewhere else type of thing.
13:50So, how long were you dating your current girl?
13:53Oh, it's been about, uh, two to three months now.
13:56And how long into that did you start the conversation about, right, listen, I'm not, I want multiple girls or
14:02whatever?
14:03Like, yesterday?
14:05No, no, like, like, two days ago.
14:07Really? Yeah.
14:07Two days ago.
14:08And, um, it's so something I'm doing.
14:10Yeah.
14:10But I did bring it up still, you know?
14:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:12So, I think it's fair to her, for me to be honest with you.
14:14How did she react to that?
14:15Obviously, I wasn't happy.
14:16Of course, she's going to get upset.
14:18I don't want to hurt her feelings, any of this or whatever.
14:20But, yeah, it's just kind of figuring out what I want.
14:22If she said that to you, if she said, ah, you know what, Shane, I just don't know if I'm
14:28a one-man woman.
14:30How would you feel about that?
14:32I sounded pretty critical, but, yeah, no, I would not be happy at all.
14:34Yeah, yeah.
14:35To be fair.
14:35Yeah.
14:36And that's how, like, probably mask this kind of thing is, right?
14:38The red pill.
14:42I can see the level of influence that Hamza has on Shane.
14:48And Shane puts a lot of his success to date, in life, in general, down to Hamza.
14:54And I just don't see how that reliance on this random guy on the internet is sustainable long term.
15:04In the manosphere, beaten males are shamed.
15:08We're conditioned to believe that being alpha means working harder, looking better, and reframing our mindset.
15:16Bigger biceps and a monstrous back will give you more confidence and respect than you can ever handle.
15:24It starts with daily discipline, like going to the gym, to the more extreme and obscure advice like stop wanking.
15:31I've been on semen retention for over 100 days now, and my life has become a lot more incredible.
15:38When your dick gets hard, you don't have to use it.
15:44On my way to meet Jack, who seems to have a lot to say about this space, so we'll see
15:51how that goes.
15:51Yeah, you said it, I do have the best hair in Northern Ireland.
15:56Jack's 27 and lives with his parents in a village in Northern Ireland.
16:00He dropped out of uni after a year, and is working in construction.
16:08He's midway through a 100 day semen retention challenge.
16:13I haven't choked the chicken in 50 days.
16:16No wanking, no sexual intercourse, no interactions with any females, arts at all.
16:24Goodbye from the fucking Jackman.
16:27Woo hoo, baby!
16:32Hey Jack.
16:33Hi James, good to see you.
16:34Thanks for having me up.
16:35No problem.
16:36Morning to the man came, sir.
16:3857 days on a semen retention journey today, you know.
16:41You're 57 days.
16:4357 days, no masturbation, no sexual intercourse.
16:46100% man, going for 100 days straight.
16:49If you can control your lust, your sex trade, you can control your mind.
16:52People don't realise it.
16:54Every time that you masturbate, man, you're releasing your masculine energy, you know, your testosterone.
16:59Masculinity is often, like, labelled as toxic.
17:02You know, it makes, like, young men a shame to be, like, ambitious, courageous, aggressive.
17:07Because they're being told to man up and be strong, protecting providers.
17:10But then they're also told to get their feelings and their emotions and all.
17:14So they're being sent mixed signals, and it gets a lot of confusion to a lot of men, you know.
17:19I haven't actually played this in a long time, so we'll give it a whack.
17:21That'll be my excuse if you've been here.
17:25Jack's also got forthright opinions on how other people should behave.
17:30Beta males not holding their women accountable for their actions.
17:35Let's get into it.
17:36If you're in a happy relationship that you always, like, portray online,
17:41then why does your woman feel the need to post seductive photos online?
17:48Do you ever think of it like that?
17:49Like, why is she doing that?
17:51If she's in this happy relationship, surely she wouldn't want to be showing off her body to anybody else.
17:56You're obviously very passionate in this video.
17:58I am. It is definitely something I believe in, you know.
18:00However, could I have worded it a bit better? Yes.
18:04Well, you got, what, 240,000 views in that video?
18:07240,000. There's 500 likes and then 1,000 comments.
18:11And the biggest one was the insecure one.
18:14They called me insecure, but I haven't had to be insecure about it.
18:17Is there an element there of maybe people just think, why does he care so much?
18:22If you're in a healthy relationship, like, surely having respect out of your partner.
18:27Now this goes for men and women, not just women too. Men have to do it too, you know.
18:31Woman empowerment is not posting seductive photos online.
18:36Woman empowerment is saying, no other man's going to see my body except my partner.
18:40People think I hate women like I'm a massagist. I don't.
18:43Do you have a girlfriend?
18:44I used to have a girlfriend. I had a girlfriend for about a year and eight months or so.
18:48I actually noticed when I walked in, you were doing the little Andrew Tate pose, isn't it?
18:51Yeah, it's his pose, but I looked it up, you know, it shows control.
18:54It shows you're in control of what's going on in your environment.
18:56Would he be one of the guys you follow then?
18:58Oh, 100%. I've been following him since probably COVID.
19:01I don't worship the man, but I crave what he represents,
19:04which is like confidence and ambition and drive and discipline and leadership.
19:10Men need to stop being sorry for themselves because nobody's coming to save them, you know.
19:14You're either successful or you're invisible.
19:20I feel like there is a lot of pressure on young men, including myself,
19:26to be successful or feel invisible.
19:31Sam has the same desire for success.
19:34He's booked a trip with his online friends.
19:37They all have followed Hamza and share similar values and opinions.
19:42In 24 hours, they're meeting in person for the very first time in Lisbon
19:47at what they're calling their Adonis house.
19:50Tell me about this trip you're going on, Sam.
19:52I'm meeting with four of the guys in Lisbon,
19:54all of whom I do an online business in this sort of space as well.
19:59Most of us met in Hamza's old group before we all mostly left that.
20:03I mean, the name of it is Adonis House and Adonis is like Hamza's term.
20:07So can you show me some of the guys that you're meeting out there?
20:09Yeah, of course.
20:10So Vincent is by far my best friend.
20:13I've known him for over two years.
20:15We met him through my self-improvement community.
20:16He's a 17-year-old from the US.
20:18He's trying YouTube and he's on his own self-improvement journey.
20:22You should do things that hurt every single day because that's what makes you grow.
20:25You should hate your body so that you have the motivation to get nice and strong.
20:30It's going to be epic finally meeting in real life, yeah.
20:32Aside from Vincent, who else is in the house then?
20:34So there's Matthew, South African.
20:37He has a sales job.
20:39Then there's Arvo, the Estonian.
20:41And then finally, there's also Gray.
20:43He's also from the US and he runs Faceless YouTube channels.
20:47Sam, what does it mean to you to be going here?
20:49It feels like it's almost the start of a new chapter.
20:53For so long, I've been giving up the offline relationships with people in school and people wherever.
20:59And basically betting everything on this working.
21:02What are your biggest worries about it?
21:05That I don't think I might fit in that well.
21:08I think that's the biggest worry I have.
21:11There's a lot riding on this Lisbon trip for Sam.
21:14These are the only friends he has in the world.
21:18And he's not the only one who has changed his life because of what he's being taught online.
21:23Shane's trying to balance having a relationship while still following influencers' prescriptive teachings.
21:29This one-itis bullshit happens to guys when they start forming a bit of a connection.
21:34Having multiple women is a cheap hook to life.
21:37Red Pillars adamantly push that guys must avoid catching feelings and date multiple women.
21:43But Shane's having doubts.
21:45We chatted briefly about the girlfriend situation last time.
21:48And you had a bit of a case of one-itis.
21:50Yes, yes, yes.
21:51Is that still the case?
21:53I would say maybe even worse.
21:56We had a deep chat about this the other day and I was like, yeah, you know what, we'll just
22:00kind of see you.
22:01I'm still going to keep some Red Pill tendencies like, I don't know, just being the masculine guy, being the
22:05provider,
22:05and she's still being feminine and submissive and all that.
22:08She has to remain submissive?
22:09No, no, no, not that. Not that at all. I think it's just her remaining feminine.
22:12Are you opening up to her about personal things?
22:15I'm almost like in two heads.
22:16One of them's like, yeah, it'd be great to show affection, do all this, you know, open up to her.
22:20But another part of me is like, yeah, but I'm a man, no one cares, needs to fucking get on
22:23with it.
22:23But it's just these fucking influencers, isn't it, just like, get in my head or whatever.
22:26Especially when you listen to kind of the same people over and over again.
22:29It's very influential, isn't it?
22:30Yeah, because you're saying things to me like, you feel this way, but influencers are saying this,
22:36and it's creating that contradiction for you.
22:38Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah.
22:40So it's kind of scary, isn't it?
22:41It is, yeah, because a lot of these influencers like Hamza are usually right.
22:44I'm not saying they're always right. Hamza will say himself, the odd thing or two he's not right about.
22:49But seven, eight times out of ten, he's going to be bang on, so it's like, ooh, shall I take
22:53his advice or shall I listen to myself?
22:57Shane said that the things that the influencers are saying is different than how he feels,
23:04which has created a contradiction for him.
23:05But it seems like he's finally going his own way with it.
23:13It's a big day for Sam.
23:15He's off to Portugal with his dad to meet his online mates for the first time.
23:21They've called their Airbnb Adonis House.
23:24The plan's to hang out and build their online businesses in YouTube, sales and coaching.
23:30We're on our way to meet the guys. How do you feel about that?
23:33I'm scared it might, I don't know, be a bit cringe meeting Vincent for the first time or something like
23:37that,
23:38and I don't know, so many thoughts going through my head as you can probably tell.
23:42I'm not sure how this is going to go for Sam. I really hope he isn't disappointed.
23:47We're here. Yo, can you see us?
23:51Yo, what the fuck?
23:57Oh my God.
24:02How did we get up?
24:05Teddy's coming down.
24:07All right.
24:09This is absolutely crazy.
24:12What's going on man?
24:14How's it been?
24:15Oh my God.
24:16This is so weird.
24:17It is weird.
24:18It doesn't feel like real life.
24:19It's pretty weird.
24:20Yeah.
24:22What the hell?
24:24Well, it's been a long minute.
24:26It has been. Two and a half years.
24:28Yeah, you look different in real life.
24:29You do too.
24:30You look a lot bigger.
24:32Yeah.
24:32Shall we?
24:35Well, I'm kind of lost the words a little bit.
24:41This is Adonis' house.
24:42It's Adonis' house.
24:43How are we doing?
24:44Time's a pleasure to remember that.
24:47Yes, of course.
24:47I love all the videos.
24:49Everybody.
24:50About his name.
24:51Nice to meet you.
24:52Just to see you.
24:52It feels like, I don't know, like a movie or a video game.
24:55I don't know.
24:55It's all coming together.
24:57Yeah.
24:57It's pretty cool.
24:59Setting goals is a key element of the Manosphere.
25:02The lads have their own chart to track progress, with forfeits like runs if they miss them.
25:08So there's this thing here, it's called the wall of shame.
25:12Vincent has failed to complete his video script.
25:15Matthew didn't do 60 dials.
25:18Gray failed to complete three scripts.
25:20And he let down his friends and himself.
25:24Do you have a wall of shame?
25:26No, I don't have a wall of shame.
25:28I keep it all in here.
25:32I guess it's about keeping people accountable and things like that, you know.
25:37It's a very extreme way of doing it.
25:46What do you guys think young men are searching for?
25:49I think a lot of young men are lonely.
25:52That was one of the big reasons I started this.
25:55Because I didn't know people like me.
25:58I didn't know people who were in the same type of things.
26:00I met Sam.
26:01He liked the same things that I do.
26:03And that's kind of why we bonded together.
26:06So do you think there's a problem with loneliness for men?
26:10I would say so.
26:12I would say a lot of young men are quite lonely.
26:15Why is that?
26:19I think it's shallow relationships, honestly.
26:23People don't have deep conversations.
26:25They don't talk about things they want to talk about.
26:31I am still really intrigued to find out more about what the guys get up to.
26:37What they think about things.
26:39What their opinions are on things.
26:41And just how far into this community are they?
26:53Next day at the Adonis house.
26:56Eggs are cheap protein when you're fueling your Greek god gains.
27:00So how many eggs did you get?
27:0148.
27:01How many guys is that for?
27:03Me.
27:05Do you ever take them just raw?
27:07I do.
27:08How many is in there?
27:09Just four.
27:10I can't really fit more than that.
27:11Only four.
27:12Cheers.
27:12Cheers.
27:13Enjoy.
27:15What are you going to get out, Sam?
27:21Here we go.
27:22Tasty?
27:23Yeah.
27:23I'll try one.
27:24You going to go for one?
27:27What are you doing?
27:28What are you doing?
27:28Rappi Balboa.
27:29Right.
27:31Just one go.
27:35Feeling good?
27:36I don't know how I feel.
27:38It doesn't really taste of anything to be honest.
27:39I think I just got it down without tasting it.
27:44We're heading to an outdoor gym.
27:47It's all about discipline.
27:48It's a test for Sam as he's more of a rock climber than a weights man.
27:53So how do you think you're going to find this?
27:55I think it'll be a bit of a challenge especially with these guys too.
27:57All being older and stronger than me.
27:59And they all work out too and I don't.
28:01So definitely the weakest by far here but we'll see.
28:15The guys have travelled thousands of miles to be surrounded by the Manosphere.
28:20I want to know more about their motivations.
28:23Why do you guys think the Manosphere exists as a thing?
28:27It feels like to do what you feel is right as a man is to be the minority.
28:33And it's to be under attack in a sense especially on social media.
28:37Like there's not many strong men in most young men's lives.
28:43Before I found Tate there was nothing good.
28:46Like it was just lonely, depression, all that sort of stuff.
28:50And I found a spark.
28:52Like something was lit for me.
28:53Wait, I can run?
28:55Like I can push myself on something?
28:57I can feel pride?
28:58I've never felt pride before.
29:03So what do you guys think the vacuum is that the Manosphere is replacing?
29:08Lack of in-person communication mostly.
29:11I saw that first hand because I was in university right during Covid.
29:14And I think that kind of paved the way for a figure like Andrew Tate to get so popular.
29:20Because everyone was alone and isolated in their homes.
29:25Keep it going.
29:29It's like an older brother that has the imperfect answers.
29:33But it's something and it's layered with so much hope.
29:37Which is everything that a guy needs at that point.
29:40Even if it is maybe an imperfect answer.
29:45I want to get an idea of how online content has influenced this group's attitudes to relationships.
29:53What do you guys think the modern view on relationships is?
29:57I think that most people think they should be the same and also equally important.
30:02I don't agree with that.
30:04I think men and women are different.
30:06But giving opinions on these things, you're immediately labelled or you're sexist.
30:09A lot of women are earning a lot of money and things like that.
30:12Yeah.
30:13They don't necessarily need us to provide for them in that way anymore.
30:18No.
30:19Where do you think that leaves us as men?
30:21I think a lot of men, I'd say myself included, it's just a downside.
30:26The dream is kind of to take on all of the stress and then her just not have to think.
30:32Yeah. That's when women really can get into their feminine and they really can just be loving.
30:38The guys are letting me into what they think.
30:41Being honest about their fixed attitudes on a woman's place.
30:46I personally know some women that are CEOs and I don't think they want to be in a position where
30:52they're not thinking.
30:54I think for most women, where they're forced to go down the same path as men, where they're forced to
30:59study and they're forced to get a job to provide for themselves and everything.
31:02I think for them, it really takes away from their authentic femininity.
31:07They've been basically indoctrinated to believe that they have to go become a lawyer or a doctor even if they
31:11don't want to do that.
31:12And in some ways, women are also stuck in the system the same way men are.
31:16I think women aren't taught how to be women in the same way men aren't taught how to be men.
31:20Their mothers had to work jobs and so daughters aren't taught, hey, this is how I'd be a loving, caring
31:27woman.
31:27Do you guys think that women are unhappy with how things are or do you think it's just men?
31:33I believe they are too. Obviously, I'm not a woman, so my comment isn't going to be backed up as
31:39strongly as me commenting on myself, but I do believe they are.
31:42I would say that the sort of system nowadays with school, everyone being given the same jobs, I do believe
31:49that is making women unhappy too.
31:51The older lads also have strong views on what women need.
31:55So who sets that bar of what man's good enough?
32:00Throughout history, women have always been the drivers of natural selection within humanity.
32:04If women are deciding who's a good man, why are we as men collectively following only male influencers and what
32:12they say?
32:13There's a saying within the Red Pill space that, and this is going to be a little bit crude, but
32:18you can't learn to fish from a fish.
32:23Right? You learn from the fishermen, not the fish, right?
32:27I knew you were going to say it.
32:28But also, women know what they want, not what women want.
32:35Is that not suggesting that a man knows more about women than women do?
32:39So men know how to poke and press the right buttons to get a specific result out of it.
32:44I wouldn't say that men would understand women better than women do.
32:48I think that men know how to game women better than women do.
32:53Have you guys really felt what love feels like?
32:56Yes, I think so.
32:59Well, 1000%.
33:00I think that probably both of us, we've come to the point where we've had that experience and we're almost
33:07ready to look for it again.
33:09How does heartbreak drive your entry into this world?
33:13I think I'm here entirely because of my heartbreak and some of my failures with women.
33:19When you come out of those emotions, you have an intense desire to be better than you are.
33:26And I think that a lot of guys get into the space for that reason.
33:29Thanks for sharing that, guys.
33:37What I heard in Lisbon is playing on my mind.
33:40I'm conflicted.
33:42I admire the lads for their work ethic and ambition.
33:46But I'm trying to get my head around their opinions on women and relationships.
33:51The guys talked about heartbreak.
33:53That's something I can understand.
33:56At 32, I envisioned I'd have a wife, I'd have kids.
34:01Building your own family is a massive part of being a man.
34:06I was in a five-year relationship, so I nearly had that, but still respected a bit, you know, but
34:12didn't work out.
34:16We had had an argument on the phone while I was away.
34:21Then I got back here and just, basically, I remember just going upstairs to the walk-in wardrobe room and
34:26all their stuff was gone.
34:27And I just, like, sat on the floor and just, like, in bits.
34:32Didn't really have a lot of friends who were very supportive of me when I came out of it, so
34:38didn't have anyone to talk to about it.
34:41So I was just getting up, trying to work as much as I could, and then just sitting on my
34:47phone and, like, doom scrolling.
34:48And you're just consuming, consuming, consuming, consuming.
34:52The producers have asked me to go back through my post during my breakup.
34:56I'm shocked at myself.
34:58If a hundred people pick up a sandwich and go, no.
35:01And I pick it up off the floor and go, yes!
35:04Finally, listen, that's not how the world works.
35:06Your value as a woman comes from the fact that people want you and cannot have you.
35:10Do you see where the sexism is in that video?
35:13Yeah, I see where the sexism is because you can't say that about just, you know, women.
35:19I can't believe that I actually did share that.
35:22But back then, my head was in a very different place to what it is nowadays.
35:29The reels were served up.
35:32I didn't notice that gradually they were shaping the way I thought.
35:36A lot of women have slept with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 people.
35:41They're dating multiple people at the same time.
35:44You don't get courtship if you're not a traditional woman.
35:47I agree.
35:48And most women are not traditional women.
35:50I felt pretty lonely and isolated then.
35:53And I think, you know, looking at that, I would never share that on my social media now.
35:57But I obviously wasn't thinking then.
36:01It's almost like a different person.
36:03You know, I'm looking at that going, wow, like, I don't even know if I'd like that guy.
36:09As I keep looking through the content, I'm starting to see how the different messages are subtly intertwined.
36:16What turns you off from partners?
36:18It's all about demasculating men, I believe.
36:20And I think it's resulted in the destruction of the nuclear family.
36:24There's a spiral here.
36:26It wasn't about the breakup.
36:28I was just hurting.
36:30And this content gave that a voice.
36:32I think men and women compliment each other and they both need each other.
36:35I think like what she said there is really fair.
36:38Do you think, do you think feminism is all about demasculating men?
36:41I don't agree with that. No, I don't think feminism is all about demasculating men.
36:45You kind of missed the first statement, which is, I think feminism is all about demasculating men.
36:51Yeah, I didn't even pick up on that.
36:53And I think that probably speaks to the fact that I really don't think that at all.
36:58I didn't even notice she said that.
37:00You can see how there's a window into the manosphere, rude content like that.
37:06Oh, definitely. Like that, that window there.
37:08I think, you know, for me, I didn't really fall into the manosphere in a sense of going down a
37:20rabbit hole with that kind of content.
37:22I think that I recovered fairly quickly from that kind of mad mind frame I was in when I had
37:29the breakup.
37:30But I think with a lot of young men in particular, that kind of stuff is actually sometimes like their
37:37first bit of exposure to relationships and dating dynamics and who they're going to be, which is kind of scary.
37:45Tate tapped into my insecurities. Jack says he started watching during Covid, but I wonder if there's more to it
37:52than that.
37:54I am absolutely ripped and I am the fucking man.
38:00Jack's flying through his semen retention journey. He's in England working and I want to find out what is driving
38:07him.
38:12Hi, James. How are you doing, sir? Are you all right? Good to see you again. Good to see you
38:15again.
38:16Have you used it yet? No.
38:20So, Jack, what day are you on of your semen retention journey?
38:24So, today is the 88th day today of the semen retention journey.
38:28And I've never felt more alive than I am right now.
38:33Like I've went from a complete blank canvas to having nearly an eight pack beams coming out of my own
38:39vascularity.
38:40And probably no other things. People have actually said I've got taller as well.
38:43You know, it's pretty interesting.
38:44But I think that's just to do with going to the gym and just my posture in general.
38:47Are you doing this for you or are you doing this for female attention?
38:53100% for me, like. Female attention isn't even a thing. All my life has just been chasing cheap dopamine
38:59all the time.
39:00Whether it was porn or video games or alcohol or partying or whatever, you know.
39:10Was there a moment when you realised you weren't the man you wanted to be?
39:15I was probably lost. I didn't really know it, you know. The more I think back of it now, you
39:19know.
39:20And like probably no respect for myself. From drinking and partying all the time, you know.
39:26And sometimes it actually made me feel scared, you know.
39:29Because I knew that I didn't want to do that the rest of my life.
39:32When I first started watching Annotate, he made me feel like a loser.
39:36To be honest, you know, like he made me feel that I was just sad of who I am, you
39:42know.
39:42I was that person he was talking about, like being a weak man, you know.
39:45And really not having a purpose in life.
39:46But he also made me awake to who I was, you know.
39:50And made me start actually kind of like having respect for myself.
39:55And to stop being a loser, you know.
39:57And like build a purpose in life, build their body, be strong, make money.
40:01Escape the matrix, you know. Escape the nine to five.
40:04When it comes to Andrew Tate, do you think any of his views on women could be dangerous for young
40:10men?
40:10I would listen to all the good messages when he's talking about men.
40:13And building themselves up to be respected and build status.
40:18Because that's what all men do.
40:20Like I wouldn't focus on some of the other stuff he's saying, you know.
40:23But like it's still his opinion.
40:25That man can say what he wants.
40:26And like that other thing about investigations.
40:30He's not guilty of anything.
40:31Like he hasn't been convicted of anything.
40:33And everything is just, I believe anyway, is to tarnish his name, you know.
40:36Because he's going against the norms.
40:38He's making men start standing up and fighting back against society that wants to keep men weak.
40:43That bald headed man, Andrew Tate.
40:45He's got all the cars, the money, the gears, the respect.
40:50Everything that men want.
40:51Is that what you're really chasing?
40:52Is it happiness?
40:53Is it fulfillment?
40:54What is, because they're just things, you know.
40:56What is the actual goal?
40:57I want to be respected by people.
40:59And I want people to recognize me and know what I stand for and my values and everything.
41:05If you want to inspire to be your own man, you've got to quite do your own thing.
41:09And that's what probably my online coaching hopefully leads to that.
41:13Jack has decided to share his mantra and launch an online coaching business.
41:19I have to film content now for two hours.
41:23Hair is looking good.
41:24So yeah, let's get fucking into it.
41:27I want to have my own thing on school, that app school, you know.
41:31And where people can join and, like, get the experience that I experienced, you know.
41:37And how to improve and find purpose in life again.
41:39And teach them all that there on a school where they can just go in and learn it.
41:43From somebody that's actually experienced it themselves.
41:46I know if I keep going the way I'm going, man, the only way is up.
41:50I can't go down, I can only go up.
41:52And that's what's motivating me and keeping me going, you know.
41:54If I keep sticking at it and you don't take no for an answer and you don't accept failure, then
41:58you can't lose.
41:59You can't.
42:00You have to win.
42:02Jack's following the Manosphere influencer formula of coaching others and it can be hugely profitable.
42:09The male identity crisis has become a money spinner and plenty of guys are happily cashing in.
42:16Part of your audience will like you so much that they'll buy anything that you try and sell to them.
42:26820,092 dollars per year.
42:29Basically, like, I'd say probably about 98, 99% profit.
42:32My school doesn't just teach you how to make money.
42:36My school teaches you how to be above money so the money comes to you.
42:41With online coaching taken off, it's never been easier to share a course.
42:45It's a world I know.
42:48I tried a different version of it in 2023.
42:52So I've been in the digital marketing space since I was 17 and I was always getting people asking me,
42:59could you show us how to set up Facebook ads or whatever?
43:03So I decided that I would set up a group called Dominate Academy.
43:11You have lots of ads running. I highly recommend that you use this.
43:15It will help to spread your spend more evenly.
43:18We would film videos teaching how to set up Facebook ads.
43:23Actually, after about a month of running it, I decided to just stop it because it was becoming infuriating
43:30that a lot of the young lads that came in, they weren't willing to actually start at the basics and
43:36learn it.
43:36All they cared about was, how do I become rich off the internet?
43:40That was the thing that they cared about.
43:43They're being bombarded with social media creators, influencers, courses, things that are telling them,
43:50within six months, I'll change your life.
43:53I can see how easily people will pay up if they think it's a shortcut to success.
44:03It's been less than a week since Sam got back from Portugal, where he met his mates for the first
44:08time.
44:09I'm wondering how he's handling normal life again.
44:11How is being back in the UK?
44:13If I'm being completely and brutally honest, it has been very, very hard being disconnected from the guys again.
44:21I've been struggling with that a little bit.
44:25So how does it feel, Sam, to have actually developed those friendships with the lads?
44:30It sounds so sad, but having friends in real life is just such an epic scene compared to just being
44:34online.
44:35And it actually sort of got me to the point where, like, I'm now admitting that I did actually cry
44:41a bit when I got back.
44:43I don't know if that will appear weak or whatever in other guys' eyes, but I'm being sort of honest
44:48about that.
44:50Sam's turning to journaling and artificial intelligence for advice.
44:56Talking to Jack GPT, I've got all my journals in it, and it knows everything about me.
45:00So this is sort of what I journaled.
45:03I get reminded every now and then of the trauma that I still have in me.
45:06I don't know what it's caused by, but it's just come back up now.
45:09I get the same unique feeling every time I want to cry.
45:12I feel like I've been done over by the world and my situation, and I feel mostly like I can't
45:17do anything about it.
45:18It was so epic being there with everyone, finally having friends in real life,
45:22and then it gets ripped away from me, and I'm back here.
45:24I'm crying now. I'm so grateful for Dad helping so much.
45:28I think it's clear to see how comforting this process is for you, to get your thoughts on there.
45:33Definitely. Journaling, honestly, it's a superpower.
45:39Sam wants to make money coaching so that he can travel.
45:43The big problem now that I'm trying to solve is that my sort of coaching business is sort of hard
45:50to merge in with the filmmaking.
45:51So what did Jack GPT actually tell you?
45:54Jack GPT basically told me to keep them separate, just have the coaching as almost like, you know, in a
46:00strange way, almost like a guru thing where I'm just teaching people how to make money.
46:04And I think I asked it, like, isn't it a bit immoral to sort of make money in the guru
46:08way?
46:08And it just told me, like, people are still happy with the sort of product, and therefore the income I
46:13get for myself to then fund the filmmaking and to fund the traveling of the dream.
46:18Sam's trying to find a way to live like the influencers, charging $1,000 for his coaching.
46:25He's not alone in wrestling with real world relationships and guidance.
46:29In Liverpool, Shane's gone back to Hamza's red pill course for some dating advice and has ended his relationship.
46:38Do you see the delusion and the manipulative nature of most women, which is they'll literally string along so many
46:45guys, but they'll try and convince you that they're not even speaking to anyone.
46:48And this is the brutal truth. You know what it is? They don't feel like they're even speaking to humans.
46:55How does it feel watching that? Because to me, that makes me feel a bit, it's very pessimistic, you know,
47:02that view of life.
47:05It might be pessimistic, it might be, but I just think it's the truth.
47:09Do you think that women can be trusted?
47:11To give a blanket statement, I would say, no, you can't really. So then why on earth would you get
47:14in a relationship if you can't?
47:16I'd rather just kind of, you know, be on the red pill side of things and be seeing multiple women
47:20rather than just going for one.
47:21What's happened with the relationship, Shane?
47:23I just thought it was the best thing to do for both of us, just kind of, anything's there and
47:26she kind of agreed as well.
47:28How much was the red pill part of your decision?
47:30Quite a bit. I was like, I need to be the type of guy who does have kind of multiple
47:33options.
47:34So you're back on the abs?
47:35It's kind of like just picking on where I left off really, isn't it?
47:38The way I kind of see it is, if you're at the level of man where you can kind of
47:42date multiple girls at the same time, then that's kind of fair game.
47:46But it's different for the girls?
47:47In a way, yes. It does kind of seem like a double standard, but when you really think about it,
47:51it's like, no, it's not because as a man, you've got to build yourself up to attract the girl, whether
47:55that's gym or in business or in your fashion or looking better or lux maxing,
48:00all these type of things you've got to do to kind of attract the women in the first place.
48:03Whereas with the women, it's like, okay, then the guys are wanting to be with it already. So it's just
48:06like a yes or no type thing.
48:08So if it's okay for a man to be promiscuous, but not okay for a woman, and that defines them,
48:13is that not just sexism?
48:14I would say first off, I'm not saying that anyone can't be or should be. Again, you do whatever you
48:20want. All I'm saying is, to me, like my preference isn't someone who's promiscuous.
48:25I wouldn't want to be in a long term relationship with an overly promiscuous person. And that's just because I'm
48:34not like that.
48:35So I kind of get what you're saying. But I do also feel like if you're promiscuous, and then you
48:42want the non promiscuous partner, then that's what I struggle with, I guess.
48:46You could say that I'm promiscuous. I just generally like, and this isn't being sexist, I just don't see it
48:51that way. I see it as I've got myself to a certain level where I can attract multiple women. That's
48:57what I do.
48:57But you're acting on it as well. Yeah, no, that's fair. Is that not promiscuous? Possibly, possibly.
49:03Because it'd be like if it was a woman doing that, it would definitely be promiscuous. Options make a man
49:09high value, but it seems that options make a woman low value.
49:14If she entertains the options, 100% not a high value woman, because a wife quality woman wouldn't be entertaining
49:20many men, right?
49:22I think you're down to slightly valuing different things for men and women. That's it. That's literally it, yeah.
49:29Shane is committed to Hamza's library of Adonis, paying him every month.
49:37How could anyone sit and watch this all day, every day? You'd end up completely hating yourself and completely hating
49:43women and dating.
49:44And, you know, like, where does that lead you to? It leads you to sort of a very lonely existence,
49:51I guess.
49:53And now I want to walk you through how to be more of the bad boy, because Chance just made
49:59some money from a sale from the course, by the way, so you might want to join.
50:02The influencers capitalize on their followers' hope for success and a better sense of self.
50:09If you're not learning the mentality of a fighter and a champion from me, if you're not learning discipline, if
50:14you're not learning motivation from me, who are you learning from?
50:18100 days is very close. And most men can't even go a fucking witch end without giving in to their
50:25urges. I've got maybe three months.
50:28Jack has finished his 100-day semen retention challenge. He's now using the discipline of that experience to build a
50:35new venture.
50:37I feel fucking untouchable.
50:43How many days are you on now, then?
50:45So, we've actually surpassed 100 days, you know, 103 days today. Every morning I'm waking up with an erection. It's
50:53crazy, you know, and I'll get about 15 to 20 a day, you know.
50:57Is that normal? Is that...? Oh man, that would be minimum.
51:00I wouldn't be surprised if it happens here now, you know, in the next five or ten minutes.
51:04That's going to weird me out. Yeah.
51:06And I will continue to keep cutting it out, you know, because the way I feel now, both like mentally,
51:12physically, and even like spiritually, I don't ever want to go back to what I was, you know, being a
51:17slave to my desires.
51:20Jack wants to be one of the next generation of male influencers sharing his opinions.
51:26I'm going to call this place the Jack Room, obviously me being the Jack Man.
51:30I don't give a fuck if you're fat or you're skinny.
51:34Both scream weakness. DM me the word Jack now, and I'll show you how to transform your body and your
51:40fucking mind in 12 weeks.
51:44There's a lot of competition, so Jack's paying another online coach to teach him how to build his business. It's
51:51costing him £650 each month.
51:56Yes!
51:57Looks good.
52:00Oh my God.
52:02I'm so excited. I feel like a child, man.
52:07So you're going to be training clients in here then?
52:09That is hopefully the plan.
52:11Got it there, yeah.
52:12Yeah, I'm going to hit.
52:13£650 seems like quite a lot of money. What do you get for that?
52:17It basically just shows you how to DM people, how to deal with DM people, how to go about it.
52:24As in messaging?
52:25Sending messaging on Instagram, Facebook, whatever you're into. So you'll send cold messages, like people you don't even know.
52:30How many would you be sending per day?
52:32Probably minimum 15, 20 a day, you know. And you might only get five responses, you know. And sometimes out
52:38of the five responses, you'll get nobody.
52:40People want to see results instantly, you know. They don't think long ahead into the future and their future self,
52:44but that's kind of the message you're trying to sell.
52:47How did they get you to pay that? Was it a similar kind of tactic?
52:49It actually kind of was. I actually realised that after, when I started learning all the stuff, you know, like
52:54what they're teaching me is what they used on me to get me into the community, which is kind of
52:59mad.
52:59It seems like it's a lot of coaches coaching other people how to be coaches to then teach other people
53:05how to be coaches. Is that right?
53:06It kind of is. But getting the clients is one thing, but training them and keeping them is probably the
53:11next thing. And that's all on you, like.
53:14Just throw this here, Jack?
53:15I throw it down there, man. That'll be the arm corner.
53:19Do you ever think that that constant chase of improvement is kind of reinforcing into yourself that you're just not
53:25enough, that you're not good as you are?
53:28Men should keep thinking that they're not good enough, you know, because surely that should spark a fire in them,
53:34you know, to get better and become better.
53:36Men are not supportive to each other, you know. They just want to focus on themselves and aren't willing to
53:40help anybody else.
53:41But where does that change then when you join an online group? You know, how come all of a sudden
53:45they do want to help each other and it's different?
53:48Most men, probably they're not going to do it for free, you know.
53:51So we're talking about hundreds of thousands of pounds, maybe millions, all being made from young men who are lost.
54:00It's not nice when it sounds like that, you know, but that's it. You know, like, if you can find
54:05somebody that's going to make you a better person for free, you know, you find a...
54:09A friend too, you know, but is a friend going to be there for you? Like a really good friend,
54:13you know, is it going to be there all the time to help you? How much can they help you,
54:16you know?
54:17Because a lot of friends aren't experienced in helping men become better, you know?
54:22Tell me, tell me which way to go.
54:24Just...
54:24There!
54:25Right there?
54:25Stop right where you're at, man.
54:26Right, I'll hold it.
54:32Right, we need to light it up, come on.
54:34Right.
54:35Yeah!
54:37Woo hoo hoo hoo!
54:39Ah, that actually looks better than I thought it was going to be, you know?
54:42What if it turns out better than you could ever imagine?
54:45Ah, that's awesome.
54:45That is the perfect thing.
54:48Really proud of that.
54:51Jack believes male influencers provide advice that isn't available in real-world friendships.
54:58It's something Sam decided long ago.
55:01His whole world's been online.
55:04Until now.
55:06I'm actually in Coventry, it's 1.40am, and I'm on my way to see Sam.
55:13Hey Sam!
55:14Hey James!
55:15How are you doing?
55:17I'm doing good.
55:18How are you?
55:18Good to see you again.
55:19I'm very good, thanks.
55:20Hey Phil!
55:20Good to see you again.
55:21How's things? Good?
55:22Yeah, good, thanks.
55:23So Sam, why are we here in the middle of the night in this coastal station?
55:26Well, Vincent's actually going to be here very imminently.
55:30Arriving on a coach from the airport because he's just flown in from Miami.
55:34Because we're spending the months together in the UK, he's living with me.
55:38And I'm really, really excited for this.
55:40We're going to be out in the fields loads.
55:42We're going to be working together, making loads of progress together.
55:46I'm really spending some good time together.
55:49So Sam, what's been happening with your online stuff?
55:52I've got 50 new members into my free community.
55:55And so recently I've been channeling all of my energy into updating my free course on there to help them
56:01even more.
56:02And I've got a big sale for $1,000 since then.
56:05And that's really sort of set me up and made everything pretty nice recently.
56:14Well, well, well.
56:15There he is.
56:16How's it going?
56:17How are you doing?
56:17Not too bad, not too bad.
56:19Good to see you again.
56:20Yeah.
56:21How does it feel to be in the UK with Sam?
56:24I'm quite excited, actually.
56:26I've heard good things about the UK.
56:28I like the architecture, history.
56:31It's nice reuniting.
56:33You know, we've got a couple months ahead of us.
56:35Yeah.
56:35Potentially longer.
56:36And you've had this real bout of just being completely alone.
56:40Yeah.
56:41Does it feel like that could be over?
56:43Oh, yes.
56:44It finally feels like everything's culminated together.
56:47And this big problem of loneliness and not having friends is finally over.
56:56The Manosphere promises brotherhood and self-improvement.
57:01But often it teaches criticism of women, of weakness, of failing.
57:07Under its influence, Sam, Shane and Jack have all found purpose.
57:13But they're also evidence of how our search for answers can be manipulated for profit.
57:20People talk about lost boys.
57:23Maybe we need to find our way back.
57:25What happens next is up to all of us.
57:28Amen in Jesus' name, yes, I declare it.
57:30Any little seed I receive, I have to share it.
57:32Brothers, when they break me down, I can't bear it.
57:34But heavy as the head with the crown, I still wear it.
57:37You can't hold me down, I still cold.
57:39Rain falling down at the bricks, I'm still soaked.
57:41Try to put a hole in our ship, we'll build boats.
57:43Two birds with one stone, I pull both.
57:45Pray I never lose and pray I never hit the shelves.
57:48Promise if I do that, you'll be checking on my home.
57:50If it's for my people, I'll do anything to help.
57:52If I do it out of love, it's not to benefit myself.
57:54Can they do to the movies?
57:55I usually like to prefer it, if they have a child's name.
57:56If they do it out of love...
57:59Can you stay remembered for pięterca-d действительно.
57:59Obrigado.
