Starting point is 00:00:00 Okay. All right. This was, this is an unexpected one. I'm very, super unexpected one. But you go by chest bra, right? Yes, sir. How long did you, how long ago did you decide that name? Well, I'm 37 now. I just turned 37 a few days ago. It's actually really fucking funny how I got the name. And you're gonna fucking laugh. I was 24 at the time, 23. And I was on the bodybuilding.com forums. I'm not sure if you're familiar with them. Oh, yeah. The Misk forums. Oh, yeah, you are? Back in the day forms, that's all that's all we did back in the day. Okay, shit. Before social media, before Instagram. You're from my generation. So you might have been around to see some of the stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Yeah, it was a bodybuilding the Com forums and it was called the Misk Forum and I made a thread and I was super skinny, fucking dwee, really, really skinny. And I posted a photo of myself wearing an Ed Hardy Stringer, baseball cap backwards and just like pouting and shit and just like doing a little selfie in the mirror. And I captioned it, are you admiring my chest bras? Now, here's me hoping I'm going to get like everyone like telling me how good I look and compliment me instead dude it turned to about 500 pages of just fucking roasting you roasting i got roasted dude oh my god how old were you then 24 23 23 yeah 23 so it was pretty intense like i just got
Starting point is 00:01:12 roasted but in i mean i get it like it was a really like funny looking photo and i was like i was kind of like skinny and shit just thinking i was big and stuff so i posted that my username at the time on the forums was ecto in 1986 extormorph 1986 yeah yeah and um yeah and then i just captioned the thread that you admire my chest bras and then everyone just started fucking roasting me roasting me and then any thread i would make after that they would just call me oh shit it's that chest bra guy the chest bra guy yeah and at that time aziz had his nickname ziz and he was popping off and i was like hmm chest bro how did how did how did ziz get his nickname i answered this in the fresh and fit but i also answer for you bradley yeah um it's a bit another funny story so we were kids
Starting point is 00:01:55 and i could never pronounce his name properly as a kid because i'd i'd out of Lisp growing up, so I would pronounce his name as Ziz with a huge Lisp. And here's where it gets super weird. He didn't even call me by my name, Say it. He would also call me Ziz. So I had this running joke, we would just call each other Ziz as little kids. And then like people around us when they would see us like talk and stuff, they're like, where the fuck are you guys calling each other Ziz?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Like what the hell? And then, yeah, he just changed his name to Ziz when he started popping online social media and the rest is like kind of history. Yeah. So let's talk about that a little bit. Sure. I didn't know that because, like, it came up to you. You were at my gym, just the gym just opened.
Starting point is 00:02:31 You were in, you were in there at night. Yeah, fucking Steve let me in, bro. Did you speak to him? It's good. Yes, that's good. Okay. So you're supposed to let you in. Oh, it was all planned.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yeah. Wasn't planned, but like, I thought it was. I was like, oh, this is way too. But a good unplanned plan because you're here now. Because I met you and I didn't even realize. I've seen you on the internet for sure. Yeah. But I didn't realize that you were his brother.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah. A lot of people don't. They think cousin or just close friend. I thought you were a friend, like a homie. That's just from what I seen. Obviously, I didn't do enough research into it. Yeah, yeah. But when did you guys find the gym?
Starting point is 00:03:02 Because you guys, you're obviously, you're older than him. Yes. You're older than he would be now, obviously. Yes, correct. When did you guys find the gym? I started training dude when I was 18. I just finished high school. So my story's like just a typical skinny guy who just wanted to get some attention,
Starting point is 00:03:16 a bit of respect. I was really, really short in high school. Had a gross per in like year 10, year 11. I was like 16. Yeah. I grew up watching like Van Dan. Slice Stallonega. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Arnold Schwarzenegger. These are like more idols and shit. Goats. And wrestling as well, WCW, WWE. And at that point, it was like, so heavily ingrained in my brain just seeing like muscle bound men that I was either going to become a fucking homo or a bodybuilder, one of the other. Like, it was one of the other. Like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:44 So I had all that exposure therapy like at a young age just like watching these movies, watching these action heroes. What about, what about it though did you like? You know what drew you to it? Because not everyone gets drawn to it. A lot of people that say, you know, like, oh, it's not for me. I think the whole appeal for me was I just saw the respect they would get. And it wasn't even a woman thing, just the respect they would get from other men by having a presence and aura.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And I just noticed a lot of things, even at a young age, like, oh, wow, these bigger dudes with the rippling abs and the broad shoulders and the big chest, like, they're the ones who are like getting all the attention from like the ladies. They're the ones who get the respect from the men. I'm like, all right. So life seems kind of easy. maybe if I just get jacked people will take me more seriously yeah and um from a skinny kid i started at like 110 105 pounds i was like 5 foot 6 5 7 i appreciate you didn't try to use kilos yeah i really try to do the conversion in my head like i really appreciate that because we were going to have to go backwards on that shit well that's i mean i've done i've done my education coming
Starting point is 00:04:44 i'm like you know what like they do pounds gallons so you guys don't use we we're completely stupid when it comes to fucking the metric system yeah so i'm like i had to like i kind of know the pounds but it was about 110 pounds for the Aussie viewers that's about like 52 kilos yes yeah yeah and now i'd say i'm probably about 190 pounds 511 so i had a big gross per put on a lot of weight um left the gym sorry went to the gym um because i was getting bullied in high school um i was super quiet a little bit awkward when i was younger so like heaps of like kids like pick on me like the big like bigger guys and i was just like fuck these guys i'm going to show them you know finished high school bought a gym membership started to train um went to like started a part of
Starting point is 00:05:22 as well just really came out of my shell just met a like-minded group of individuals that we dubbed the aesthetics crew yeah at the time you might have heard it popping off around like 2009 10 which is this is so crazy this is like way back oh yeah yeah so that so I'm kind of curious like okay let's go to your first point about the the respect the women like when did you start to notice at that did that actually give you that like did you actually get that benefit like at what age did you start to realize like oh I'm getting more respect or I'm getting more women like did you get that thing that you thought you would have gotten
Starting point is 00:05:54 here's the funny thing i always didn't really have a problem with women even when i was kind of skinny and like geeky i don't know they must have found me charming or cute or funny or some shit because i've never really had a problem but the type of women that i was attracting once i got like tattoos and put on a bit of size was like completely different so to answer your question um yeah i mean i did get what i wanted and what i set out to do was the respect and yeah the women all that came but then eventually that all that shit really didn't matter and it just became like a love of bodybuilding which is um yeah kind of where i ventured more into um after especially after like i lost my brother um i went back to basics because i got lost in the party world and the drug scene and all this
Starting point is 00:06:33 and that and got mixed with the wrong crowd and you know i felt had a big fall and just um you know a big big downward spiral and i wouldn't wish it on anyone dude like losing a family member and shit like it's fucking tough yeah but managed to pull myself out of it and just brought it back to basics dude which is bodybuilding man bodybuilding's always saved me in every fucking way possible through high school it saved me by giving me confidence by you know making me more respected around my like around man women were noticing me more then when I lost my brother bodybuilding came back into my life and pulled me out of depression a second time yeah and then it's like I had a new lease of training like twice so it's like I was like reborn twice like firstly obviously getting
Starting point is 00:07:11 into the training and secondly would have been like when I lost my brother I had all that passion to kind of like continue his legacy and kind of just like keep writing his story what's also like writing my own so yeah let's let's talk about that a little bit um that the thing that i find so interesting is like this guy still uh ziz gets talked about in in respect to like aesthetics and in this community and especially online i mean i remember years and years ago he was so poppin like it was such a crazy thing and like a lot of the kids who came up afterwards like um like the legend of what is it what was legends of aesthetics like matt august sat gainsley and then even like David Laid and all these people came and they kind of like after they came after and I think a lot of them I feel like yeah exactly yeah so I guess my question to you is like how have you seen the industry change in regards to like aesthetics and honestly I really like this question man it's it's it's uh it seems like it's gotten like a thousand times more popular like it's only it's only like snowballed even even with the recent like shifting of bodybuilding to like classic and yeah people going towards classic but
Starting point is 00:08:20 How do you think it's changed? Because at the time when he, he popped out, when Ziz popped out. It was just bodybuilding. It was just body building. You remember. Exactly. And he was just like a smaller guy, but still had good lines, good aesthetics. That's what it was all about.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And that just like people were so like, I don't think they saw a lot of that because it was most of the time like we were talking. It was just the guys that you saw were big bodybuilders. Huge dudes. And this guy came and got really popular from being like not a massive dude. A dude just like, you know, more than average for sure muscle. obviously had a really good look how to you know you guys with the fucking hair thing is it still blows my mind you guys all never forget the hair yeah and the look so it's like
Starting point is 00:09:00 what do you think that did to the to the culture because it's still like I said people still reference that kid today and that guy that man you know you know obviously sure honestly honestly that's a really good question Bradley and I really like these like thought-provoking kind of questions rather than just like what was his like it's just like I've answered this a million time so I really like that question first and foremost when I was around 18 the only people that we had to look up to with people like Ronnie Coleman, Jake Hutler, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:26 don't got to say the names, like just all the grace in the bodybuilding world. There was no classic division. There was no men's physique. Aesthetics wasn't even a known thing and bodybuilding was like super niche, way more niche than it was now.
Starting point is 00:09:39 There was no chicks in the gym, even training then. There were no girls in the gym. I don't remember seeing all these gym bunnies now that you all see like doing the little cameras and the tripos and everyone's filming everything.
Starting point is 00:09:49 And all the girls came out. out of nowhere and um they've got the little whole aesthetics thing going on to and i do feel like that's a huge influence from um what as started and pushed in a younger days men this was the big one as was the voice for all the young dudes and all the dudes that thought they weren't genetically superior that thought they didn't have the genetics or you know really they weren't the right person to become a bodybuilder to get that mass mass size yeah because i think he showed them that hey like you can still look good you can still have an awesome rig and you can still live a fun life enjoy bodybuilding so i think he came in and brought a whole new crowd of um young kids into the gym
Starting point is 00:10:27 scene that i don't think originally would have gone into that scene unless he came in and then the scene just completely changed you just you can see all these kids like mimicking him and um you know in their own little ways and which is amazing to see like it's beautiful yeah um before that it was just i would see like just the average gym joe in the gym with his wife beater and his towel and his bottle and i remember clearly night and day because i've been on obviously like i've seen it all go down so it's been huge i think like his movement and just him like blessing this world with like you know just his his wisdom and his physique and his charm um and his charisma managed to sway a whole new generation of young kids and no stab at bodybuilders but most bodybuilders live very
Starting point is 00:11:07 mundane predictable lives where they just you know they have everything's regimented so it's so it's super hard to people to connect with these kind of guys you know what i mean so someone like as came along and he showed that like all these young kids and insecure teenagers that hey like you guys can do this too but you know what i find so interesting you're absolutely right what i find so interesting though about the whole process is that he did this on forms like it wasn't it wasn't there wasn't it wasn't like instagram was the thing it wasn't like you know youtube wasn't a thing that people were actively doing that's why it was so interesting that he got so popular on forms like across all different forms where people knew
Starting point is 00:11:42 about this guy was um bodybuilding the com yeah four chan a misk um chat roulet yeah it was crazy but the thing is he was really smart at what it did and a lot of people forget that he was the ducks i'm not sure what you guys will call it's like when you're the top of your grade in every like academic subject like matt's english science like he was like ridiculously like autistically smart and like he never even studied it was really crazy and he had like 300 students in his class he'd be topping the class in every fucking subject until he found out about girls when he hit around puberty around year 10 year 11 and then and then shit just started to go down here he's like fuck all this dumb shit yeah so he just started like fucking around a bit getting
Starting point is 00:12:19 getting with like girls and stuff like that and he was still incredibly intelligent but he didn't even like study for his um hc we call it which is like your enter school that you get to go into like university yeah he did no studies and i think he got like 89 out of a hundred which is like like i studied my fucking dick off bro like i just studied so hard i'm not as smart as even i got like 83 and i was like but i fucking studied dude i fucking hated school oh bro my god i remember like dude being back in school the teachers are just like you're not going to do shit this and that like you're not going to make it you're going to have like take life seriously even like dude even like my friends and family around me like just like let go of this whole
Starting point is 00:12:52 like ziz and chess bra thing it's a joke you need to grow up yada yada yada yada i stuck to my guns and yeah i mean shit i mean that's normal though i mean myself from the matrix man it was tough yeah it's it's normal though like no one especially i mean you would know i'm gonna tell you yeah it's the oddity of it though like especially our generation like it was the it would say it's the first generation that came kind of out of the internet so there was more we copped we basically copped all the bullshit and set up the stepping stones for all these young kids now to enjoy.
Starting point is 00:13:20 They don't get bullied as much as we get bullied. They didn't go through the shit that we had to go through. We were the first innovators, including yourself, to play and do the social media gig and then we paved the way for all these young kids now. Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's nice, man.
Starting point is 00:13:35 It's super beautiful. But even still, even though we've done that, and I'm grateful to be a part of it, it's no matter what, you always run into people who, especially in your close circle, and family that's always like no matter even though it's like it's a now a proven thing that people are doing people still just try to fucking shit on other people just because it's i think it's more so it's it's just a human thing it's just basic human psychology in nature i feel like that
Starting point is 00:13:57 it's always going to happen but i feel like it's more based on another person the other person's always going to tell you oh no it's scary it's bad because like they can't fucking do it exactly they're scared to do it and it's just their subconscious projecting fear like oh shit if this guy in my pond in my circle does this that i can't do i'm surpassing see me yeah and i'm like dude like you would have experienced i've experienced i've like lost so many friends around me just because like i chase my goals and eventually like all of them started coming true got my wbf pro card and ran multiple businesses and just like you could see like just people around me just became like kind of like fucking different dude and you would know you know like snarky
Starting point is 00:14:31 weird old friends that i grew up with yeah or entitled them all man i had to get rid of them all yeah yeah i honestly don't have a lot of friends that i grew up with i have i have a i have a really solid team now and it took me a real life. Your team become your friends. Yeah. You know, you barter off each other skills. Yeah. You have friends that are videographers that are lawyers that are trainers that are you know, drug coaches, whatever it is. But within the industry, they're all like got their little skill sets and you guys barter and learn and grow together. And I think that's the only kind of like friends truly that you can have as you get older, as you're in the business world, as you're becoming successful because no one's got time to be friends with stupid people that are making it anyway.
Starting point is 00:15:11 They're not going to teach you anything. They're not going to aid. anything to your life. And I know that sounds like a little bit selfish, but I feel like in this day and age, it's truly hard to find like true friendship. It needs to be some kind of like beneficial, um, agreement for both parties. Yeah. That's where it gets complicated. I think it gets complicated there because, um, a lot of people want to step into situations in which there's benefit to them, but no benefit. Exactly. Yes. And I've been there. Oh, dude. So many times. I had this kid at the fucking fitness expert in LA fitness expert. I'm not going to say his name. Comes up to me and he's just like, Hey man, I love you and your bro, like, if we take a photo, I'm like, sure, no worries.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Posts a photo, post it on his Instagram, says I'm, like, I'm his client and he's like some like trainer and he's like, oh, this is my client. I'm like, I'm like, dude, I'm like, dude, you're five for two and fucking 150 pounds, bro. I'll fucking eat you for meal one. What the fuck you're talking about? Yeah, it's, it was he like an influencer guy? Yeah, there's a lot, but there's cloud chaser L.A. types. You know which ones I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:16:08 There's, yeah, but there's for some reason. They have no humility and humbleness. listen, just like, it's like, dude, if you want to fucking milk me, just tell me you want to milk me. Like, right. Don't fuck around. Just like, hey, man, I want to grow some followers. But that's a thing nowadays. I've realized, like, some of the younger guys coming up in the industry, they're just
Starting point is 00:16:24 shitheads who just shit on other people for clout. Yeah. And it's like, do you not see what you're fucking doing? Like, are you stupid? I'm like, oh. And then I had some kid actually yesterday on my Instagram. I met this guy once in Sydney. He flew from Melbourne into Sydney to like, I don't know, just a train, bumped him to at the gym. I was like, super
Starting point is 00:16:40 nice to him, like, hyperaggressive testosterone own field dude you know the types yeah yeah and you know taking photos and this and that and it's just like always trying to size himself up next to me and shit and i'm just like dude man i'm fucking 37 bro you're 24 like you should be bigger than me you should be training harder than me like these are things you should be doing like you know what i mean and like don't be comparing myself to me go fucking like playing your own pond with people your age like it's fucking stupid i mean ultimately all the and then listen sorry to cut you all this motherfucker asked me to fucking post a photo of him on my instagram feed is like i'll give you two thousand dollars i'm like
Starting point is 00:17:09 dude, I don't want your money. What the fuck? And I'm not going to shout you out. And he's like, you're not doing you. You're fake like everyone else in the fitness industry. I'm like, motherfucker, you've got to pay your dues before you can just decide that you're going to ask people to fucking post a photo and it's off their money. It doesn't work like that.
Starting point is 00:17:23 It does not work like that. It's also corny. Even if I did, you wouldn't get any fucking followers. People don't care about the physique. It's all about the personality. It's all about being real now. Especially nowadays. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Yeah. And that's the thing I think people forget is that they, and you know, when you talk about this, the hater shit like i've talked about this a few times on the podcast but i think kids fail to realize like it's if you're if you're basing your success off of tearing other people down eventually the audience that fucks with you is gonna be like you're fucking lame like they're gonna realize how fucking lame you are that your only stitch is to like shit on other people or try to make other people look bad so you look good because then there's nothing really genuine that you're giving you're just giving hate to cause negativity so that you get eyes on you but then
Starting point is 00:18:00 it's like it's short-lived right there's nothing to sustain it with there's no reason to be there but the problem is with the social media is that shit gets clicks that shit gets views controversy dude i posted a video and because i didn't really want to but on my ticot i did a video natty or not like me and greg do say like he's like natty or not we're just throwing some names out there uh fucking leave and beef patty all these names and then fucking lo and behold the video it gets like half a million views on ticot i post a video of me flexing and posing like beautiful bodybuilding poses artistic you know like nice shit frank zanesk and motherfucking only get like fucking 10k likes maybe like 50 comments i'm like fuck man i'm like the algorithms against like
Starting point is 00:18:39 masculinity they don't want to see like buffed up dudes posing they don't want to see it it's just it's based on like it's like girls and drama yeah that's what that's what that's what's sad everyone gets caught up in that trap you know what i mean so until they like i feel like until they make it they're going to do everything they can these young kids to get that spotlight yeah it's tough man it definitely creates like a little bit of a toxic industry especially this one because it is also the barrier to entry is so thin because it's like you can get a phone getting some some shape and like be like I'm a fitness guy now and then your your barrier to entry is very low so like you're going to have more and more people coming in and just firing shots at people to try and like
Starting point is 00:19:17 lift themselves up so it just creates like a toxic environment it's interesting yeah I wish more kids realize that there's just so much more benefit to the slow game like trying to add value to people whether you're teaching someone how to train or you're making someone laugh. I mean, dude, you're a perfect example of that. Like, I only found out about you in the last two years, but before, I heard your name popping on the net here and there. And then boom, like, you know, you just came out of fucking no in the last two, three years. Like, but you played the slow game.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Oh, yeah. You know, I played the slow game too. I've been doing this for like 15 years. Yeah. I only just got my pro card last year. You know what I mean? So I played a super slow game. And I think that's important what you said, Brad, like more young people in the industry
Starting point is 00:19:55 need to understand that you can't have it now, now, now, now, now. And even I had one of my mates come up on this trip with me. It's like, dude, I just, I want to get more respect from people. I want to get like the respect that you have, this and that. I'm like, man, for a long time, people didn't respect me. Yeah, well, think about your name. How you got it originally like you said. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:11 They clown the shit out of me. 500 pages. I was like in my shower. I was like, fucking crying, dude. I was like, oh man, maybe like, you know what I mean? Like, I was upset, dude. But there's two things that can happen when people shit on you. You either crumble or you grow.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Yeah. You know what I mean? So they say diamonds are formed under press. So like some people are made for the pressure and it just helps them to excel in life and grow. But other people will just fucking become depressed and disappear. That's that, bro. That's what separates the winners from the losers. And that will never change.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Yeah, no, I'll never change. I'd love to keep my inner, my inner childlike personality and my inner nerd because I feel like it helps me also to connect with the younger people and it helps me to remind myself where I come from and always like stay humble, but also be like proud of who I am in my achievements. Yeah, absolutely. So, uh, let's talk a little bit about, uh, I want to go back to to, I mean, I guess in a sense of achievements, but in relationship to your brother, he's, he had, had stamped such a thing in this industry that is just like continuing out. Yeah, I mean, bro, I'll never forget it. And do you ever, because you're his brother, right, do you ever like stress or worry or think
Starting point is 00:21:16 that maybe you won't have the same sort of effect or do you even care, compare or do you, you know what I'm saying? I know exactly what you're saying. When I was younger, I, I cared a little bit. like I kind of wanted to be like oh shit like I also want that fame yeah then it got to a point where I didn't really care for it and it kind of just came to me and I didn't really want it and now that it's coming to me and like my social media is growing and growing and like my name's getting out there I'm like shit and I'm like is this really what I want I think it's nice like
Starting point is 00:21:46 don't get me wrong it's nice but like yeah my ideal situation now would be to be like a multiple business owner and just like disappear into the abyss and like no one knows me I need I'm like I've already got my exit strategy after I finish competing, after I win my world title. I plan to, like, exit in about five years, maybe own some properties and just like disappear from social media, man. Because like, to be honest, man, like, this shit is like, it's hard mentally, it's draining, it's exhausting. And from loving, filming content, blogging, I used to love this shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I fucking, I love this so much. I used to love taking photos and for Instagram. And now it's like, it's become such a fucking chore that I just, a good day for me would be not to be on my phone like i'll just like put my phone away i'm like you know what i'm going to the day going to the beach going for a fucking walk yeah going to a nice restaurant having a nice breakfast having a nice gym session going for just you know going for like a swim in the sun and just going to see some friends getting see my family just taking it back to basics and it just makes me realize like what's truly important and um to go back to the question um now no i don't
Starting point is 00:22:47 really care but i want my message for the people that do follow me and support me to be heard and to be understood course that um if people are chasing this kind of lifestyle to chase it for the right reasons don't chase it to be ahead of anyone else or to have clout and fame and followers do it for the genuine reasons and my genuine reasons going back again i like to go back to bodybuilding um bodybuilding continues and will continue to save my life for the rest of the rest of my days on this earth man so for me my main priority now is um to just be a world champion WBFF pro and are taking seriously as a competitor in the body building world the social media and all the trolling and festivals and all that kind of stuff was as his thing he was young
Starting point is 00:23:27 he was 22 at the time yeah so my head is completely somewhere else so for me to see him get the attention and fame that he gets now even more so than me it makes me happy because like I'm the bigger brother so to me it's like that's my baby brother dude you know what I mean if people still talking about him like it makes my heart warm and it makes me smile and I hope the whole world knows his name that's that's what i want yeah yeah so i got to ask how because i've read but how did he actually die um this is something i actually can't talk about because i promised my parents shit yeah yeah it's something that i actually do want to talk about and a lot of my followers know and probably see it in the comment section here i mentioned that i will come out with the truth
Starting point is 00:24:04 in about two three years but then um due to the wishes of my mom and my dad um i kind of had to hold because they say it's like he he's he's obviously does other drugs that aren't Cereids. Of course. They say he's in a son. He was very open about that. He was open about everything. Extremely open, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:21 But they're saying it was like a heart attack. A heart condition, yes. Yeah. So I will be coming out with the truth eventually one day when my parents aren't around to see the after tomorrow. Yeah. Okay. So you think because it would bother them?
Starting point is 00:24:33 So imagine what it, yeah, it would bother them because for many reasons it would bother them. But I've got the blessing to do it once, you know, once the time is right. So but you're saying he did have a heart condition. I can't even answer that Okay, okay Yeah, all right Yeah, but all the truth Will be revealed in due time

Starting point is 00:25:28 Yeah, man. Yeah. Motherfuck was huge for 22, though. Imagine he feels around now. Damn, bro. Yeah, man. It's been 12 years, man. Still got the same hairstyle.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Wow. Still fucking trained. Legit, wait, he would have, actually my age? How? I'm 33. He would have been a year older to you, my guy. He would have been 34 right now. Oh, my God. Yeah, it would have been 34.

Starting point is 00:26:00 I definitely want to hear off camera, though. You guys, I can't tell you guys. Sorry, guys. One day, one day. You live in Oz most of the time, all the time. Yes. And how come you're out here now? So I got invited onto the Fresh and Fit podcast.
Starting point is 00:26:14 in Miami. Yeah, so they reached out to me. They're like, look, man, we're getting a lot of reception from people wanting to see you on the show. Just to have a chat with you. I'm like, cool. I'm like, all right, I'll make it happen. Actually, I was supposed to do it last time I came to America six months ago.
Starting point is 00:26:28 I won my pro card last year, and I went to Vegas, partied my ass off, just fucking had a mad time. And the boys from Fresh and Fit reached out to me, and I was just kind of like, just too busy, just doing my own thing, just relaxing, really, not doing content. Like, I just finished the comp, you know, just got the pro cards. I was fucking, my mental health wasn't all there.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I was just exhausted. I just wanted to let it all out because you've competed. So you know, man, like the off season, like for me, my off season consists of me just like partying and like letting it all out of my system like completely. And that's what I've done. So you're, you're big into partying? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah. I just can't do it, man. Yeah. I never liked it. Yeah. I mean, you either like it or you don't. And the thing is like, I like, I like dancing. I like to move around.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Like I'm a bit of a people person. I like to, I like the music. Most, most of it is like, I actually. like the music i like trance i like hard style i grew up on edm so for me like yeah no okay i'm sorry interrupt what drugs do you take when you party um when i party well now i'm i don't do any drugs except i smoke weed and i drink alcohol but back in the day dude fucking almost everything man yeah coke pills like you name it i've done it yeah yeah you ever do you ever do any mushrooms psychedelics or anything i've never done mushrooms but i've done acid i used to i used to microdose acid
Starting point is 00:27:39 it's really microdose acid to have like every time i'd like getting my own head a little bit and i want have like an ego death i'll just like have some like i'll tell you a funny story yeah yeah i had this beautiful dog american staffie and i have this two-story town else not a big place um not big big enough for an american staffer yeah a big big big ass dog had it for about a year and i had no idea that this dog was like suffering and upset like i just i was so in love with my dog and i love my dog so much that i just didn't think there's a space and my house was too small for him and i was kind of like oblivious to the fact and i think my friends kind of like picked up on it like hey dude like your dog needs a bigger place like you know what I mean and we're all hanging out
Starting point is 00:28:16 one time in like my homies and we just kind of like microdose some acid and then a few hours later I remember just like crying dude just out of no I just started fucking crying and I'm just like man like Max isn't happy man like I could sense it in his eyes like he's fucking depressed he doesn't have enough for him to run around I can't like he needs to go at least two three walks a day a dog with this size one walk a day it's not going to cut it I'm like I'm a shit human for like not being able to look after him like I felt so fucking guilty dude And the next day, it's like, just that thought popped in my head that never was there. I started looking for like a family and like home like to adopt him.
Starting point is 00:28:50 You know what I mean? It took me like six months, but I found a nice family for him. And that was super like confronting. So after that, I would use acid to microdose periodically every three, four months just to have like little like epiphanies. Every time anything was going in my life, I'd do it at good moments, bad moments. Do you still do it now? No, no, I don't do now. Now I just smoke weed.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yeah. But it was fun while it lasted. Psychedelics are amazing. though man yeah i want to i still want to try mushrooms man like everyone always talks about mushrooms but i think it's like an american thing because everyone in australia just does like acid yeah like we just do the tabs yeah it's similar it's did you ever try acid you just did the mushrooms i've never tried acid no no i've done mushrooms okay many different times they say mushrooms it's like you're the passenger and you're not the driver and they say on acid you are the driver so you can
Starting point is 00:29:34 control the trip or so they say in the grapevine anyway yeah yeah have you ever tried anything else like iwaska or anything no fuck no especially after seeing what happened to fucking uh what's his name fucking old mate connor murphy yeah connor motherfucker i did it i hate that guy why bro he fucking made a video saying that how's he's really died he got a nose job in thailand and committed suicide which by the way isn't true um the nose job is true but he didn't commit
Starting point is 00:29:58 suicide so yeah he just made a video for clickbait um yeah we're gonna have to clickbait this video yeah fuck you connor come at me bro no dude i don't get it though I mean, he's gone. That guy's kind of gone now. Yeah, he's like, oh, man, it's just doing all sorts of. But I think he was doing ayahuasca, like, really, like, delinquently. Like, he was doing a ton of it. Like, yeah, I mean, every day.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Dude, I mean, like, the thing is like, I would have, like, I mean, I'm always down to try everything once. But after seeing what it did to him, it's like, shit. Okay, I'm not going to lie. So it's all about the container you've tried it. I've tried it. I've talked to me. What's it like? Well, listen, bro, that's, I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I'm not going to lie. The Connor Murphy thing? No, I didn't go to prove I did it in here But I brought a shaman Yes, I brought one Yeah So it's all about how you do it You know so I'm not gonna lie
Starting point is 00:30:42 I knew about the whole Connor thing too And I was like That's gonna be me And there was a point I swear to God There was a point in the trip Where I was like I'm gonna get stuck here
Starting point is 00:30:51 Oh my God And I was like I'm now that guy And I was like It's never gonna end bro Oh my God I thought for sure that was me I was like everyone's gonna be like You remember Brad
Starting point is 00:31:00 That guy's fucking crazy now Oh my God I swear dude What happened then? But it was amazing. It was like I had that moment. Did you have the purge? No,
Starting point is 00:31:09 I didn't throw up at all. Which is crazy. How long did the experience go for? Talk, like, describe it to me. Because like, yeah, no, it went from 9 to 7, 8 p.m. 9 in the morning. Yeah. So the whole day you were tripping.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yes, but your reference. Fuck me. Your reference of time is completely shifted. So it felt like two, three hours. Yeah, like two, three hours. You don't even know. Did you have that out of body experience? Did you see like the elders and like,
Starting point is 00:31:34 in a spiritual realm and did you go off there and talk to all these like fairies and shit? No, so what I understand I've done it, I did it once and I did it just that day and from doing a little bit more research
Starting point is 00:31:44 I feel like I don't know, it's almost like I felt like I like knocked off the cobwebs of like a bunch of things that I'm super anxious about my life or like problems
Starting point is 00:31:52 but to go deeper like what people typically do is they'll go for like you know you talk about the jungle Peru whatever people go to a place and they'll do it for like four or five days straight
Starting point is 00:32:01 yeah it's like a proper ceremony and yeah and that's what I did here but it was only one day. Apparently like a lot of the people that do it at these retreats of people like massive trauma and stuff like that. Yeah. Which is kind of why I wanted to do it. I always, a part of me always wanted to just like let go of his is and just like move forward with my life. So I've like obviously like I've lived in my life for him and for me. Like obviously doing
Starting point is 00:32:20 like helping him with his legacy and then building my own. But a part of me really wanted to go to kind of just like let go of it all and just move and start like and forward with like a new life kind of thing. Do you feel like you? But I don't want to let go of it. I'm scared. I don't want to forget him when I don't want to let go of him I always want to hold him close to my heart well you can I mean you can and I think even I'm scared if I do the experience that it's going to make me realize that I need to move forward and I can't keep thinking about him and talking about him but I want to but you have moved forward and I don't think I think so too yeah it doesn't sound like you're just like living for him you know not yeah I agree I agree I might be a bit harsh on myself in saying
Starting point is 00:32:56 that but I mean I think you get what I'm saying I just want like some peace because I have never got in peace with his death still still never will until i you know i can really come out with a true message and then save people from dying yeah i'm sure people could read between the lines but eventually i'll speak out about everything but that's on my back dude and it doesn't feel good yeah you can probably tell yeah that's that's tough man i mean um fuck yeah yeah it's a big burden to carry my friend yeah yeah but back on the a oasca yeah yeah yeah because i'm Because I'm kind of interested now. You might be like swaying my mind.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I might be like, you might be like getting a call for me in a few months. This is the thing. I'll help you. I'll help you too. I know all the people. Oh shit. So this is the thing. Bro, this is the thing, right?
Starting point is 00:33:43 What the fuck. It's, uh, it, you wouldn't just like completely forego who you are. Like, you know, you talk about this thing that's important for you. Like, it's all important. Like I said, the container in what you're doing it and the intentions you set as you go into it, right? So you wouldn't just like forego this and never have a relationship with this thing or this idea again.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Yeah. It's more like it just, it makes you. you see yourself more truly for who you are without any sort of filter like ego filter of like and not like you know when you talk about ego death on acid it's way deeper than that it's like you can't some a lot of people won't be ready for that no they won't and this is not for everyone no no I needed it because I was at a point in my life where like I felt like I kept going in circles on a lot of what was your what was your breaking point then to want to make you like obviously dive into it and try it um because I think that's important like the viewers know
Starting point is 00:34:25 because like honestly like no one should just like do these kind of things without like building 100% you know what I mean so for me I'm 33 and I've struggled dramatically with interpersonal relationships throughout my entire life because of my my fear of losing someone right so I lost my father you lost your father yeah I lost my bro and I have a feel of getting close to people and friends women mass keep I keep everyone like yeah people get too close near me because if I like you and I lose you it's going to hurt exactly you know what I'm saying it's exactly that's it so that's the story of my whole life and even in friendships obviously intimate relationship relationships with women but also in intimate friendships and like push people
Starting point is 00:35:02 yeah as soon it gets too close my like natural instinct is like let me almost like make something bad so that I can get away from oh my god yeah exactly what I do with all my relationships with women yeah updated some nice women and bro let me tell you I'm sorry ladies for all the fucking shit I've done I push them all the way dude yeah and now that I'm older I'm like fuck man I'm such a dumb ass exactly and so so I'm so I started getting to that point I'm 33 and I'm like I want a family and I'm like if I keep doing this I'm gonna the pod with you saying you want a son and the family yeah and i want that too bro i don't care if people laugh at that shit like dude like you hit a certain age you just want a fucking family bro yeah i want i want
Starting point is 00:35:37 simplicity and the thing is i just found myself if i kept doing the things that i kept doing i would never get there and i'd end up alone which i'm that's what i'm ultimately most afraid of that's what i'm afraid of you know so so for me that was the thing that pushed me i was like i found myself continuing this this sort of like rinse and repeat actions of like being a shithead getting like going into some other thing having it overlap the next thing and then going into the next thing and then fucking that up and like you know not having trust because of all the shit that I've built up in relationships and and I just wanted to like try to break that cycle so you know the the medicine the planet helps you to like see yourself like as genuinely as possible like
Starting point is 00:36:16 with no filter and it allows you to really kind of like understand yourself on a deeper level that it won't allow you to like create excuses because you know when you like you think of something and like you'll have like 10 fucking reasons why like you're okaying it for yourself. Your subconscious behavior in your mind. It's just stop you from doing it. It's like it's a defense mechanism. And it's just gone. And you just see this clear picture and you're like, oh, that's me.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Does it last or you've got to keep doing it to keep it to keep it? So that's the thing. It's interesting. It doesn't, it's not like you're always high, but like you definitely have. You remember the experience and what you learned from it. But the thing is like, do you constantly got to keep doing it to have those same? It's like a one time thing. I think you can do it once or twice and get a great effect from it.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I think it's something that you can revisit in time and you can continue to kind of experience. It's also good for you. It's not like a terrible thing that's bad for your body. It's actually like it's full of alkaloids. It's a natural plant, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we put worse of things that up.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Yeah, yeah. It's like people like talking about, you know, the swine flu, whatever. Yeah, but this is actually, there's actually, there's actually medicinal benefits to this actually. Oh, there is. Yeah. Okay. So beyond, beyond obviously the, the psychoactive stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:22 But yeah, man, it does. stay with you and it has changed my overall just perspective in life in general and obviously like it doesn't mean I'm just like I don't ever get mad or I'm a completely different person night and day but like I just noticed myself kind of checking myself more often like just a dumb example right really stupid example you're driving in a car you cop a little road rage and you want to be like man fuck this you want to like say some shit and I'll notice I'll happen to me the other day and I'll be like I'll go like I'll like say it and I'll be like what the fuck am I do it man like this is so unnecessary like it's not it's not getting me any better it's
Starting point is 00:37:54 not changing the situation. You have that moment of clarity, that split seconds. It just happens faster. This is a bad idea. Yeah. I should not go through with this. Yeah, it happens faster. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:02 So that's one of the, I would say, long-term benefits of it. Like I say, it just makes you more in tune with yourself. It's dope, bro. You'd love it. I mean, I wouldn't mind trying it, but it'd have to be after comp season, that's for sure. Yeah, no. Imagine doing it when I'm prepping. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Fucking hate bodybuilding. No, no. That's what scares me, bro. No, bodybuilding in training, I don't think that I ever change. It's, I won't lie, though. training has changed my relationship to it has changed a lot just because like the business stuff like the the amount of things that i do on the daily just kind of completely changed and when i feel like when like your business and like your social media really took off and my right to
Starting point is 00:38:37 say that that was the main focus of your life other like overstepping the bodybuilding it had to yeah it had to be because there was no choice and it was things i had to learn and like you know training and bodybuilding in general and like trying to like get this point of physique is you have to be a very selfish right with your time extremely selfish so in that like I couldn't do all the other things that I needed to do to be able to push forward with those things the way that I really wanted to so you have to shift focus and now I'm at a point where I'm like really like I just opened the new gym and I'm like okay I really want to take this serious again and it's out shout out to stay for the free entry yeah and I bro I hate saying this because it sounds like some shit that my younger
Starting point is 00:39:15 self would have told would have said to my older self now like you're a fucking pussy that like I shouldn't be saying I want to get back into it because I'm still in it and I still train but not with the same sort of intensity that I did then do you miss it bread I do the simplicity
Starting point is 00:39:29 I do and it that's what I'm scared but I'm mad at myself that I let myself get this far from it it's a nut it was bound to happen because you know it's different it's different between like going to the gym exactly dude
Starting point is 00:39:40 like anyone who's like fucking killing it dude their last priority is going to be their body they're just going to want to have a good like lean physique that's respectable but they're not going to chase like bodybuilding standards like physique with the diet and the peals and the training and the gear and all that it changes man yeah but it was so weird for me because like part of my business and my growth and all that stuff and the companies are all related to my physique so then you have this
Starting point is 00:40:04 constant identity crisis too yeah you have like who am i fuck yeah and you have this constant you know need from your audience and the people who are watching to see more they want to see more to sustain to compete and this and that i understand but then like you said earlier and this is also really important i just to like this kind of content that's a little just more introspective a little more self-reflection i also realize that the same people that are interested in bodybuilding are interested in the sport they also interested in this kind of stuff because because humans are not to that one-dimensional where it's like i just want to body build i just want to train uh i have been at moments in my life but i'm also really grateful that there's there's stuff like this that people also and i think
Starting point is 00:40:38 i think that's where your big appeal comes from is old bradley follows uh to be honest i think a lot of the appeal is the fact that you're very broad in um your achievements you're very open-minded with the industry and just revolutionizing the industry, dude, which is why I did want to reach out to you because I respect what you do, bro. And eventually I want to do the same thing back home in Australia because it hasn't been done at all. It's a dead thing out there. Well, shit, if I can help you, man, I would for sure. We'll see how we go, man. Yeah, I'm grateful that I really appreciate that actually. Yeah, yeah, I'm just saying it how it is, man. Like, you know what I mean? When I see someone that I'm inspired by who's doing something that I want to
Starting point is 00:41:17 be doing. I want to ask questions. I want to learn. I want to get a pen and paper and just take notes. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm that kind of guy. So yeah, man to man, just massive respect, dude. Thank you. From all the Aussies in Australia. Keep doing what you doing. Yeah. I, fuck, I got to go to Australia. Dude, you would love Australia. Maybe, maybe you'll be your future wife in Australia. Shit. Dude. What do you reckon? What do you reckon boss? Dude, the girls. I know, hold on. This is funny though. Can we talk about the girls? Bro. Yeah, we can. I know this motherfucker wants to go. He's like, yeah, I saw that smile on your face boy yeah he's like bradley take me let's go dude gold coast is like a slice
Starting point is 00:41:55 of heaven just like miami but without the degeneracy and the girls like much more sweeter and nicer like i'm gonna paint australia okay this is so funny i'm gonna paint australia for you okay picture america but with no guns no hostility and we're a little bit behind so about 20, 30 years behind, especially on the feminism movement. So even though the women, even though the women out there are still like, oh, we don't need no man. Like, I can look after myself. It's not to the level and extent that these American entitled women are. Like the women out here are fucking crazy, dude. They're nuts. Do they are nuts? How was the talking on this now? I cannot believe how crazy they are. How was the Fresh of Hit podcast? Did you have a nice panel?
Starting point is 00:42:37 Yeah, I did. Before or after the show. Yeah, bro. I mean, I got to go watch. Is it up? Is it up? Yeah, dude. It's up. It's up. But, um, holy shit. It's kind of funny. Um, I was just sitting there and like this blonde chick next to me just started flirting with me. And she's like, I'm a witch, but this guy's really cute. I'm a witch. She said she's a witch. Ended up banging her afterwards. Um, it was great. Did she put a spell on you or anything? Uh, I think I put a spell on her, my friend. Yeah. She's in love. You should see my inbox for her. You should see my WhatsApp messages. Hey, baby. I miss you. Sorry, JD. You're stupid. You put a spell on her. Yeah. Oh, that's a lot. You put a spell on her. Yeah. Oh, that's That's great. I gave her that great D, bro. I can't blame her, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, she's just, she's a happy girl.
Starting point is 00:43:20 This Aussie guy comes over. Why not, bro? More power to her, bro. I have a really quick question. What's a, it's because this is like a thing that like the chess bra and this is, right? Yeah, the girls.
Starting point is 00:43:30 What's a, what's a sick cunt? Boys. You don't know what that is? Dude, I don't. I thought you'd never ask. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:37 What is a sick cunt? This is funny. A sick cunt. be like four different things no i don't know because i always here i was here and i don't know what i a sikun isn't something you are it's something you become it's something from within it's something just that's yearning the deep within your heart a fire a spirit a passion to want to be something more something great that my friend that is a fucking sick but truly what is a sick gun is just a man that wants the guy out there and get his that loves and respects the people around him um that's good to his mom that
Starting point is 00:44:09 he's good to his dad he's a hard worker is genuine it's nice to everyone and just treats everyone equally no matter what race background religion size they look like
Starting point is 00:44:18 it's just an overall cool dude that just brings good vibes that makes everyone happy around them and has a kind of like a legendary cool aura about him so if someone was to call you a sick hunt sounds sick doesn't it
Starting point is 00:44:31 from Australia it's the ultimate compliment man it's like you got to take that shit and be like thank you I love this, dude. I love this. To be called a sick cunt is just like an ultimate compliment from an Aussie.
Starting point is 00:44:45 But I know out here in America, it's a little bit different. Yeah, they don't like the country out here. You're very careful. You can't just go up to something ago. You're a fucking sick cunt. But it's also in the approach and I think the delivery of the message. Like if you didn't know me, Bradley and you didn't like know about like this sick cun culture and I just go, hey, sick cunt, what's up?
Starting point is 00:45:01 You're like, who the fuck is this guy? He's like, this guy's serious. But like, if you kind of know and like I can't approach him like, yeah what's up you fucking sick cunt yeah no yeah i'd be like all right he's like that's respect i think he's saying i think he's saying i'm a legend i'm cool yeah that's respect yeah a sitcom is um it's something like you got to build up to becoming it's like status sounds like a top g exactly top g so top g sick cunt i mean the words are very synonymous with each other yeah i'd have to say so on the panel did what did you guys discuss um we spoke
Starting point is 00:45:32 about um with the ladies what to speak about so basically we spoke about um dating um the the masculine and the male experience dating in the Western world American women compared to Australian women and just like, yeah, just talking about the indiscrepancies and differences between males and females of society and the gender age pay gaps
Starting point is 00:45:53 and all these sort of things that were just basically throwing topics at each other and it just highlighted to me how fucking stupid Miami girls are, holy shit. Half of the girls on the panel couldn't even name three countries without thinking for 10 seconds, bro. It's fucking shocking how dumb
Starting point is 00:46:07 some women are and how entitled they are like i'll say it how it is bro it's just it's shocking it's like society has made it so that a woman's only worth is just their fucking appearance and their youth so let's talk about that what do you what do you think i mean that's kind of the answer to what i'm about to ask but we can go in more detail sure how do you think social media has changed like dating social media's ruined dating bro it's kind of ruined a lot of shit it's ruined everything dude there's average girls at there they're like a six out of ten and it's like bitch you're a six you're not a nine understand you're a six and like just understand it and i feel like i feel like women can be like children sometimes you have to nurture them and take care of them
Starting point is 00:46:45 and look after them if you don't lead them in the right direction and you know just like make sure they're on the right path then they can fucking lose their minds like women don't go through trauma the same as men do trauma makes us fucking rise up like soldiers over like the fucking spider bro in the battlefields bro for the soldiers saw their fucking friends die on the battlefield that fucking wipe their tear off the face gets get straight back on the battlefield and make them a tougher dude if a female sees a chick die or some shit happens or fucking hurt her her bobby pin gets lost in the fucking bathroom she'll have a fucking meltdown bro you know what i mean it's like the end of the world women aren't made to have trauma women are made to be
Starting point is 00:47:17 protected loved and cared for and that's the job of men and i think it's changed the dating scene because women also can't handle like praise and and being put on a pedestal as much as men we have less of an ego with women that comes to that like a bunch of women are like hitting on me you're hit on you i'm like cool okay this is nice but for a woman having a whole bunch of sims just sliding in their dms and be hot you're cute hey babe hey stranger flame emoji and like the girl could be like a five or even a four out the girl could be a fucking whale girls it's easy man they can just get sex whenever they want and then all these girls start to think that oh shit i'm actually like better than i think i am because all these guys are giving me attention but no really guys
Starting point is 00:47:58 just want to fuck that's the truth every guy just wants to fuck yeah so what do you so do you think girls can have guy friends? Hell no, especially if, like, there's attraction there in no way. Yeah. But if they're ugly, yeah, easily. So, but do you think so then, so then here's the next question. Do you think a guy would try to be friends with a girl he wasn't attracted to? Like would a guy ever approach? Genuinely, without having intentions? No, I'm asking you, would a guy ever approach a girl? Because I, I have this conversation with girls all the time. I have, I have conversations with girls about this all the time. It's like, do you think that a guy who's not attracted to a girl will see a random girl and just go up to her and try and be friends with her?
Starting point is 00:48:32 No. Okay. So that's what I'm saying. So fuck. So because we can't even be friends with like the ugly ones maybe. I mean you can't. So it's like I feel like the only situations in which a guy could have a friend. And then you kind of like you go, you both can get the ick for each other and you're just like, oh shit I see he's a sister and a brother.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Okay. And then it's like then you can be friends with them because you've already fucked them. It's like, all right, we're really fucked. We could be friends now. Okay. So, okay, that's one version of it. But regardless of my point is the main point still remains. I genuinely don't think you.
Starting point is 00:49:02 you will find a guy who just wants to be friends with a random girl, like his first intention while he's talking to this girl is to have sex with. Now, if it happens and then it happens afterwards, now we're friends, there's one version, right, of friendship. The second version is like, if your boy is like actually with a girl and that's like your actual boy, maybe. But even that is like, maybe that's just time. I know exactly what you mean.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Even in that situation, dude, I'm the kind of guy that like, if I might have girlfriends, I'm like, I don't want to know you. I don't want to talk to you because I've been in positions where like I've had mates girlfriends like fucking flirt with me or laugh at me like this guy's really funny and quirky and it's just like it's always ended up bad for me because like it makes my friends like fucking insecure and I lost like so many friendships because their fucking girls are acting up even though I'm like righteous and I wouldn't go there it's just like I kind of try to keep a like a big barrier between like women and my boys you're my sisters and I don't want to know you
Starting point is 00:49:54 too much like don't tell me too much about your life and this and that I don't I don't want to know we're not crossing that barrier like I know it's like a little bit backwards but it's just like I just think it's like for me it's like a respect thing like i just don't want to get to know my mates girls on that personal level like as my mates i don't want to see them as homies like my boys you know what i mean they're just my boys girlfriends yeah and that's all they'll ever be yeah what do you think about guys who like i curious guys who play the slow game were like if they know you're dating someone and then they they're like they try to be friends no but so what do you think about what do you think about guys who like who like they know you have a girl they
Starting point is 00:50:27 or like that's your girl and then they try to be like friends what do you think about those guys I think those guys are grimy and slimy, bro. Yeah. Like, bottom feet is like, dude, like, just be honest with a chick. You know what I mean? Like, you don't need to be going like for your mate's cheeks or looking at your mate's cheeks and waiting. Wait, if that right moment, when she's going to break up?
Starting point is 00:50:42 When she's going to leave this guy? Like, I'm going to take a stab. Like, dude, that's like predator behavior. Like, literally predatory behavior. There's so many women out there. Fuck, you ain't going to be looking at your mates. It's also weird how sometimes women will rationalize. Like, no, they're just my friend.
Starting point is 00:50:54 It's like, oh, okay. They're fucking dumb. Women are dumb when they say that. Bro, like, no. women keep orbitors around them i've seen it happen i've fucked women and then i've needed like a lift home and they've called their orbiter and the orbital will come pick me up take me back to my fucking house give me a fucking sandwich and then drive home and then i'll ask like my chickmate that i'm fucking i'm like are you fucking this dude she's like no no no no he's just like obsessed with me
Starting point is 00:51:15 and he just takes it and does everything for me so women keep these guys around for mutual benefits they get gifts they get trips they get fucking car rides they get anything they want and these are like what we call sims like you know what i mean so i think guys like that are fucking pathetic if the girl's not fucking you why you staying around for yeah they just like they're wasting your time they think they think like i'm gonna if i just do enough good and i'm nice enough because she sees you it's pathetic it's crazy like i was driving and like i was like i was like i slept with this chick and then like she called up one of her guymates to come drive me back and i'm like in the backseat like blind drunk and i'm like he's just like and then he's just
Starting point is 00:51:47 like fucking sitting there and like they're having a conversation i'm like in the back seat i'm like i'm like this is so weird i'm like this guy's getting cucked and he doesn't even know it I'm like, this is horrible. I kind of felt sorry for the dude. You should have said something right when you got. You should have said something to the female that I was banging. I'm like, you know what? I'm like, I like, I like, I like that driver.
Starting point is 00:52:03 He's a nice guy. You should give him a fucking chance. Yeah. I'm sure he's like, like he's doing all these things. He's probably treat you better than I ever can. Like fuck. Dude.
Starting point is 00:52:11 You know, it doesn't work like that. Why? It was like toxic dudes. Why? All right. We got to talk about it. Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Why do you think that is? It's fun. And do you think it is. Okay. So maybe toxic is not the word. No, it's the word. It's definitely the word. Are we toxic, Bradley?
Starting point is 00:52:26 I have been. And I totally have been. But I'm moving out of this. I'm moving out of this. I'm trying, man. I'm trying. I'm going to see you after my con. I swear,
Starting point is 00:52:35 I'm not kidding. I'll see you after my comp. You're going to walk me through the shit. I'm changing my life, man. I can't be there anymore. I can't do it. I've done too much of the bullshit. I don't want it anymore.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I hate it. I literally just like that. I want a woman. I want a family. I want to move forward. That's all I want. why but it's fucking hard to find a normal female i'm thinking of just getting like an incubator like you know russian brides dot com and just like it like rinaldo did it he bought an egg for a hundred
Starting point is 00:52:57 like he probably paid hundreds of thousands of dollars no one knows who his first fucking kid's mummies like no one knows i reckon it's a clone i already said this to myself if i can't i'm 37 if i can't find like a wife wherever you are out there wife you stop fucking around yeah i want you i want to propose to you stop fucking around i'm waiting for you please yeah seriously just drop the bullshit dude that you're with now and come to me yeah Anyway, but I think like, I mean, I already told myself, like, dude, if I hit like 40 plus and I don't have kids by that time and I'm making like good money, I'll probably like, I'll probably get like a surrogate and I'll get like a big like an egg like of like a Scandinavian Norwegian big broad shoulders, six foot tall, you know, blue eyes, strong jewel. Dog, this shit's comedy, bro. I respect that.
Starting point is 00:53:38 You know what I mean? Like, if I'm going to, if I'm going to kid, I don't want it to be a little runt of a litter because I was a little, I was a little fucking runt growing up and I know what it felt like, man. I had to fucking that jab all these gear and eat all this fucking food just for fucking people to be like oh I guess he's okay no I want my kid to be born a fucking chat just to be born fucking jack
Starting point is 00:53:56 born broad shoulders big tall to have the biggest advantage in life yeah like fucking crazy it's crazy right yeah it is interesting how like all that stuff does add such a benefit of course yeah dude look like for example like a guy who's six four
Starting point is 00:54:10 or a guy who's five foot six a guy who's six four is infinitely just gonna have more respect for men more dating, like, options with women. Just for the me height of a few inches, it's crazy. Yeah. Another thing, I was on this panel, and we were talking to these girls, and they'll, like, pick three things you want in a guy.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Six figures, six inches below or high or above, or six foot tall, good looking, or some other things. Yeah, I can't remember. They want everything. They had to only pick three. Yeah. They had trouble picking, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:41 The main ones they picked were looks, money and height. which was i found surprising that dick size wasn't there very surprised actually but those are the main three ones and all those girls are like six foot six foot six foot plus and then i told the girls i'm like the blonde chick that was next to me because she was like so really into me and then i was like oh guess isn't going to work out i'm 511 and a half i guess i didn't make the cut she's like oh she's like no you're still good i'm like i'm really not 511 and half i'm actually 511 i was testing you she's like oh she's like no you're like you're taller now i'm like no no i'm barefoot i'm 511 You get the hair up, though.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I guess the height and the hair and the posture can make me seem taller. But, I mean, barefoot, like, I'm like, yeah, I'm like 180 centimeters, man. So it's like, and then I told her that. I'm like, I don't make your cutoff. I don't meet your criteria. Guess this way it won't work. So it just proves to you that women don't even know what they want. Because then she fucked you.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yeah, no shit. Yeah. Multiple times. Bought me cigarettes, bought me, like, weed. Yeah, you still smoke cigarettes? He's the funny. Bro, you got to stop. I know, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Oh, don't drill me for this, please. Fuck, man. In my defense, I only smoke cigarettes, and I'm fucking weird. Yeah, so whatever. Like, I only smoke cigarettes when I'm, like, traveling overseas because, like, the fucking long flights, Bradley stress me the fuck out. I don't smoke at home. You sound like my buddy Steve when he gambles.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Like, I don't smoke, dude. So when I'm, like, traveling, I get super stressed. I just get a pack, like, a deck of siggies and I just fucking smash them. And then I get back home and I'll stop. You don't smoke at all? No, I don't smoke at all. Except, like, obviously, marijuana, but that's, like, different. Like, you're talking about, like, a spliff or, like, in a bar?
Starting point is 00:56:13 No, like, in Australia. we call them cones so we mix tobacco and exactly and I know he in America you guys don't do that because every time I've done that everyone's like dude you're ruining the weed what are you doing I'm like this is how we smoke it back home yeah some people do that here still oh really yeah yeah so we do like
Starting point is 00:56:28 80% weed and 20% tobacco so I think that's why I'm probably always craving tobacco I think eventually I'm going to have to cut out the tobacco I enjoy smoking it like that man so I don't know man so yeah cigarettes are fucked though it's different even worse you guys are vaping out here man and putting electric smoke in your lungs.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Yeah, we got to stop. You know what? Everyone's just going to stop smoking, hey. Like that's just bad. Even weed is bad for your lungs. I think like anything that you're inhaling can't be a good thing. Yeah, unless you're smoking like mulling, which is good for your lungs. It's a plant.
Starting point is 00:56:59 But what's that? It's a plant. Mullen? Mullen. All right, boys, quick interruption from the podcast. One of our sponsors, Roman Swipes, that's right.

Starting point is 00:58:07 Because I don't want these fuckers to be like, I'm going to. They're going to be like, I'm going to fucking get some mullin. I'm just going to keep smoking. He said to get some mullah now, Chesty's doing ayahuasca. I'm going to do that too. Do as we, like, say, don't do as we do. Yeah, yeah. So do you have fun now or do you have fun?
Starting point is 00:58:22 Did you have more fun then when you first started or more fun now in the industry? Dude, the crazy thing is I'm actually having more fun now. Yeah. I think that's partly because I'm more successful now and I'm making more money. And because of that, I can do the things that I've always wanted to do like traveling. I really love traveling. Yeah. I like to do nice things for my parents.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Like I help my dad. um with paying off his teeth he got like his um top and bottom uh implants for his veneers a bit old yeah no not veney's the actual implants so oh shit super pricing and just being able to like even like contribute and help with that like made me feel super happy i actually spoke about it on the pot with fresh and feet and i just i broke down dude the same way you did about your father because like my dad's fucking done everything for me my mom my dad bro they sacrificed so much bro they came from russia two immigrants yeah you know we came here with no english and they did everything man and then to have one of their sons
Starting point is 00:59:11 fucking die and then the other one probably given a hard time through all the trauma and bullshit it's just like now that i'm a bit older and i'm making a bit of money i just want to make them like make them happy you know i want to buy nice things for them i want to take them on holidays i want to make sure they're smiling i want to take myself on holidays travel a lot so i think i'm more happy now because i have that freedom yeah was it was it what you thought it would be having more money having more um not really let me tell you um it got to a level where like like i'm making good money not as much as you but I'm making decent money enough for me to not have to work ever again and just kind of like keep living all my businesses online like I got my clothing business I got like a male cosmetic
Starting point is 00:59:50 business that helps like guys like with their balding and stuff yeah it's called aesthetic cosmetics like I know you like you did the transplant and hair transplant yeah I gotta go back to turkey do it I can help you that stuff man I had a hair transplant would you believe it damn you did yeah fuck they did a good job right you got a lot of hair well yeah we'll talk later I can help you out I got all the products man I can help you man so I do that for men because a lot of men like super scared of like, you know, just like looking after their hair, their skin, their beard care. So I've got all these things for men like skincare, beard care, hair care, to help men to look and feel going to be confident. So that's one of my brands. And basically what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:00:22 is like, yeah, when I started popping off and making a bit of money, it was good, but I'm at the level now. Like, I have the opposite thought. I'm like, you know what? It's going to be scary if I ever get to a level, like, say you, for example, where I'm making like stupid like money because I don't know how I will be. I honestly don't trust myself. what do you not trust I don't know man I think I'll do some crazy shit man I don't know
Starting point is 01:00:44 I just I think I'll think the bodybuilding will not be taken as seriously yeah I think that will be like obviously like taking like a like a back pedal to everything else I'm doing and that scares me because I love training I think partying will be a lot higher a lot more frequently more overseas trips
Starting point is 01:01:00 more this more that and then I don't know man I just I kind of I don't want to make too much money I just want to make a good amount of money that I don't have to work and I can just do what I want and eventually enough to support a family and a wife but i don't want to be like a multi multi multi millionaire or even like anything like above that because i don't know i think when you have more money you probably just have more problems so i want to be at a level where i'm like doing really
Starting point is 01:01:21 really good yeah but not too good i know that's and that's a crazy thought to have because everyone wants to make more money yeah but i'm like on the mindset that you know if i was to choose like for example if you gave me an option say it would you rather make like two million a year or fucking 100 million a year i kid you know i promise like maybe for the first year i'll take the hundred million and then after i see how much it fucks me up i'll be like you know what man i'll just stick to my one or two million a year yeah money is an interesting thing because it is true more more money more problems in the sense of like you you guys know you make oh really when you make more money it's like you have to think about everything you do you have to think about it but also
Starting point is 01:01:58 there's upkeep with everything so if you start to extend your legs and you like have more things that You need accountants, lawyers, this, that, fucking, it's like you'll need contracts. You can protect yourself, contracts, insurance. People don't understand, man. Yeah. It's a lot more than I thought it would be, obviously, you know, I didn't, I... And then a lot of people stop thinking for themselves. They get managers, this, that, second in charge.
Starting point is 01:02:19 And then you get taken advantage of. People packing their bags, fucking wiping their ass for them. And then before they know it, they're like big babies with lots of money. Like, that's the last thing I want. I worked hard to get to where I am. And I don't want to lose that rawness to me through, through money yeah you know it's interesting thing for sure money's money's definitely it's tough it's tough i mean what do you think of my mindset and how and what i think of money i mean do you
Starting point is 01:02:43 think that's not the norm but do you think that's the right way of thinking like i mean there's no right way that's the thing we talk about i guess no exact way it's all really what you want i mean there's always some people prioritize money way too much over the things yeah there's always a way to balance it like for your best benefit i mean i think the problem is when people make a lot of money and then they overspend and they don't realize that they're overspending specifically when people first make money and then you get taxes hit you but oh my god tax time they'll overspend and then they'll overspend and then they'll go like wait oh i have to pay this bill because like they maybe start to spend even beyond where they could means yeah which is like you can obviously you have
Starting point is 01:03:20 money you could spend it but i think people get too like overly excited especially when you first start making money where you could have a bunch of money and live very minimally and be very very happy And then have, you know, you have no stress because you have such a large cushion. That's, that's, that's, I'd say that's where I'm at. Like, I'm not going to say I'm, like, killing it. Like, I'm making good money. But enough to, like, you know, be happy and just relax and not have to be stressed. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:43 That's good. I mean, that's, I've got made to make more money than me. And they're like, we wish we'd be in your shoes, just taking photos and videos and just being like a, like a, like a icon, celebrity, whatever. And just, like, training and just competing. And just, I try to do everything minimally because stress. is fucking huge bro stress is a killer and I think people don't talk about the stress of also like making a lot of money and running a lot of businesses so for me like I want to be in the game for a long time you know what I mean I look at people like I was saying like Greg Ducay and all these guys
Starting point is 01:04:11 and I seek inspiration from them because like I'm like this guy's 47 he's like fucking putting me on showing the gym and on his bikes I'm like this is what I want to be when I'm 40s I want to be as happy as this guy yeah I want to still be partying like this guy traveling with my partner great parties yeah man I didn't know that hell yeah Greg parties that's what's up for yeah man Hell yeah, yo, I can even get Greg on this podcast. You have to, dude. Greg, I got you on two podcasts, bro. When does he come to, uh, dude, he's Canadian?
Starting point is 01:04:37 He's, he can't come to America because of some fucking felony from like years ago, some steroid thing, man. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, but he's trying to fix it now and because he's looking to go to like 80, like he's like his partner's looking to go to EDC and I'm like, he parties. Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's what's up. Shout out Greg. Like, Greg, like, come to EDC Vegas, bro. Like, let's all fucking party, bro. He's like, I can't come to America. I'm like, dude,
Starting point is 01:04:59 fix that shit and let's fucking, let's run amuck, dude. It'll be awesome. Yeah, that's dumb. I need to get them on here. And I think that's cool. I think it's important. I want to pass this message on like to everyone watching this. It's important to allow yourself to have fun.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Yeah. You know what I mean? Even to you Bradley, like just to an older bro to like, you know, a younger bro. I tell you man, it's like, I know like business is like important. You get to this level. You have all these responsibilities and stuff. But I feel like always remember like that inner child in you to have that fun, to have that freedom and to be able to sometimes.
Starting point is 01:05:28 detach and just really just let loose because I feel like that would make you work harder and sometimes give you that mental clarity and focus to actually keep carrying on with the businesses and the like empire that you're running yeah I appreciate that man it's good advice it's also funny though too because we we let loose on the grand opening day we were oh yeah I saw the videos you yelled it you yelled at my mate you get out those that was my Aussie mate Asian dude it's fucking funny so so we're it's funny because I don't know if you saw the drama that happened but like people were saying they were mad because the influence the thing yes exactly can i finish before you say anything go ahead go
Starting point is 01:06:03 everyone's always cutting off people and cropping these little shorts and then taking things out of context i guarantee you someone's going to do with my clip you like chest he's a misogynist but it's like no dude i'm just passionate and this is how i speak i'm just trying to make my point yeah but dude like no man like i know what you're doing dude like and then they cut that little crib and try to make you look like a bad guy yeah fuck that shit bro it's so it's just it's what it is now it's social media dude they just like drama and everyone's like oh bradley's time only influencers only it's like no no because you get the whole point was of course invited influencers to come no shit specific ones wanted them to say everyone else leave so more people can come in
Starting point is 01:06:36 period yeah and it was just like this spun like is a bad guy yeah no shit but like that like it was described it was saying but yeah they they really did try to make you out to be the bad guy bro yeah and it's like shit now i'm gonna fucking defend myself so you gotta go and make a fucking video and back no this is taken out it's same with like Andrew tape dude you know they've yeah they've taken everything he says out of contest and trying to make him seem like a bad dude but you know what deep down I think everyone knows that a guy who's like that high value doesn't need to treat women bad or doesn't need to be fucking holding anyone hostage. It probably has women at his feet. And it's probably quite like a bit of a gentleman, if anything, to women and like the boys around him. He was super
Starting point is 01:07:10 sweet, super nice. There you go. Yeah. But the problem, the hard part with this situation with Tate is like this is in his past. You know what I'm saying? Everyone has a past. Yeah, of course. And when you get super famous, this is another thing. Those people in your past that you burnt, you know, that girl that you slept with at a party and then one night stand. that was like regretting it's going to come after you and say that you raped her. All these things are going to come out because people want your money. People want your fame, people want your status. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:36 And it's like, none of us are clean. Everyone's like done things that that was a bit questionable. But like end of the day, like a lot of these things come and then bite you in a way because these people then come attacking you, trying to, trying to take your money, trying to take down your empire. Yeah. Essentially. Yeah. You know, like, I've been there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Not in not the same line for Tate stuff, but in so many of my own ways. industry and people oh yeah i feel you dude completely myself myself included so you just you have to have your wits about you yeah and you have to be super self-aware and i think um i think that's important as well um for the viewers to understand self-awareness don't let yourself get used um know your value and know your worth so let's talk about that it's tough because i've put myself in positions where i've even protected myself contractually to not get used but you know in good old California. You still get used.
Starting point is 01:08:27 You still get used. Even, I guarantee you right now, even though you don't know you're getting used, there's probably 10 people around you that are smiling assassins that are probably fucking in the ass and you have no idea about it. Yeah. You know what I mean? So dude,
Starting point is 01:08:38 it's like, and it gets to a level with like, you know, you get that level of fame. And I've, like I've hanged out with huge influences. Like, not just in America,
Starting point is 01:08:45 like in Brazil, I've hanged out with this guy named Toguru. He's got like 6 million followers. He's making a killing, drives the Lambeau and Ferrari. Lives in the fucking outskirts of like the, of like the favelas in Brazil. and he's too scared to move from the favelas
Starting point is 01:08:58 because he pays off all the favelas so they leave him alone So he gets that respect from the gangsters That hey this guy's like made a fuckload of money But he's not disappearing to the rich areas In Sao Paulo Brazil He's staying like where he grew up He's sticking to his roots
Starting point is 01:09:10 So because of that he doesn't get fucked on But he has to do all these things So he doesn't get fucked on you know Yeah He has to pay off all these people He has to have all these cameras set up You know what I mean It's like at the end like who the fuck can you trust
Starting point is 01:09:21 Yeah You know what I mean So you just when you get to that level You just got to be a good person man and um it's tough so what i was gonna say was it's tough because it's gonna be true i've been in situations where i've even tried to protect myself i've done my best in situations i've like done as much as i could and i still get fuck so then it it sucks because moving forward you start to go like damn like should i do this again should i stand myself again should i help more
Starting point is 01:09:43 should i get more and it kind of puts me in a position where like i'm like fuck like am i just going to get hurt all over again you know because i'm like an active like lawsuits with people who are fucking taking advantage of me to all hell. That scares me, man. Yeah, and it's like, I'm talking about like, imagine completely helping to change someone's life like zero to a hundred. And then I try fuck you. And then they, yeah, and then they fuck you.
Starting point is 01:10:05 I'm talking about like a, like, imagine zero dollars to $100,000 a month. Damn, man. You helped him that much. Yeah, I helped him that much. That's fucking disgusting. I hate that. And then they go, you didn't do enough. Wow.
Starting point is 01:10:18 And then every other person that's in their life is also. How does that make you feel? I'm getting angry for you And I've just fucking met you And every other person that's in their life Was some derivative from me And also put in their life through me So you made them
Starting point is 01:10:31 You helped them Yeah To a crazy degree Yeah So you've got a good heart You want to lift up the people around you You want to lift up your circle You want everyone to eat at your table
Starting point is 01:10:40 You want your homies to eat But then some of those homies aren't loyal And then shit like this happens Because like what good is success If it's all by yourself Yeah I mean well I have I mean dude That's the thing
Starting point is 01:10:49 Yeah of course But I had a contract I even had a deal and they still fucked me. So it's like I knew what I was getting into because I've had other situations in the past where I helped people change their entire business like go from zero to fucking same thing
Starting point is 01:11:02 but I made a bad deal for myself and it's fine like I'm not mad but so then I move forward I'm like okay let me make good deals for myself moving forward if I'm involving these people and I still got fucked man still said I didn't do enough and it's just like that shit hurts
Starting point is 01:11:15 because even on the on the backside of that imagine doing everything like on the front end business wise, getting money, getting all this stuff for them, all this popularity, get them all these followers, all their shit. And then even on the back end being for their being there for them personally when they're dealing with real heartfelt things.
Starting point is 01:11:33 And I'm in that, I don't have to do that. I don't need to do that, but I'm doing that because that's also like I care. You're a good person. And then you get turned around on and they just treat you like, yo, you didn't do enough for me. Thanks. I'm going to go just continue. And then what does that do?
Starting point is 01:11:44 It makes you cold. It makes you shut off. Yeah. And it makes me go like, damn. And people wonder why, you know, why we are the way we are. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. it makes me go like,
Starting point is 01:11:51 should I continue to help or reach out or like give? It's like fuck helping people because look what happens every time I try. Yeah. And I've been in situations even on social where like I've even extended myself to help people and it gets spun on me as if I'm some bad guy doing some dirt. It's just crazy a shit man.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Like I've had a really, this industry and the social media, I've had a very tumultuous like fucking 12 years, man. Like I think, you know what? Hearing a bit of your story, Bradley, I think we're not too different, bro. in our mindsets, dude, we've had to go through a lot of fucking shit to kind of like
Starting point is 01:12:24 prove ourselves in a way. And even when we've proved ourselves, I feel like it's still like, um, not enough for a lot of people. Like, what, what are you got to do for like all this bullshit to stop? Like, well, you're going to make fucking 50 gyms and then people are going to like it? You got to open up a fucking church for someone. The thing that I realized, what are you got to do? Yeah, yeah. Or is this shit going to always fucking keep happening? Yeah, well, that's the thing that I realized. And I realized this after, this was years ago when this happened to me. I remember at one point I got just just completely like dragged on the internet over some shit that was never true. I got dragged to this crazy degree. And I remember every year prior to that
Starting point is 01:13:00 it was like love, love, love. And the content I made was about about my life, about my journey, about my training. And it was all giving, teaching, showing, talking. All good. And then the minute someone could frame me as a bad guy, it's like everything went out the fucking window based on what someone said just like I could sit here like if I sat here and was like you beat up your girlfriends I could just say that and I could fuck the rest of your career forever and they'll be like crazy and so that happened to me where everything I did just was like I felt I felt like even though it wasn't this way entirely my heart and it made me not want to do social media anymore I was I was like yo I want to stop because I was like all these years of doing this
Starting point is 01:13:40 shit and this whole climb up meant nothing now you see why I want to exit strategy I want of course I want peace too course I want to peace too course I was No one wants to go in their mid-40s. But I've also... I just be like fucking hammed all that. I also don't really want to say I just want to exit. I want to get out because I realized no matter what I do. It's still going to be a part of you.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Yeah. And no matter what I do, like, good or bad, good, good, good, bad. Doesn't matter. People are going to love me and hate me for who I am no matter what. And so it's just like, I'm just going to be that. Just you've got to be yourself, end of the day. And it's the same with anyone in this space or any industry in general. It doesn't really matter.
Starting point is 01:14:15 It's not not really pertain. or just locked into fitness that could be any industry you know what I mean so it's just something that I feel like a lot of people just got to understand and respect
Starting point is 01:14:25 and just see for what it is Yeah and for the people listening like whether you're trying to be on social or not like this this kind of shit can happen in your personal life just with friends circles in businesses it's just a matter of like
Starting point is 01:14:37 understanding that not everything that happens to you is because of you and this is hard because a lot of people take response to this happened to me oh what like almost like self like self-infliction like what did i do right yeah like and i think you know where that comes from
Starting point is 01:14:51 that comes from like and i i don't want to like pull on some heartstrings but i think that comes from like you know like your dad abandoning you and like my brother like dying on me we're always like trying to please we're trying to people please you know with people pleases we try to help people and uh we would try to make people smile through our own ways and our own means because we have the platform to be able to do so but you know sometimes when we we do it and then it gets taken out and thrown back at us it's just like fuck like I'm just trying to help you know what I mean like genuinely within your heart you're like I'm actually just trying to help guys like yeah and then how are you supposed to feel besides from feeling shitty yeah so so where do you go here from
Starting point is 01:15:31 from here with content obviously you want to get the you want to win the world yes the world title yeah yeah um and this is wbf WBFF yeah okay and where do you go from here as far as content wise like what kind of stuff do you like obviously you get so you get this fitness content do you just stop do you make fitness content do you evolve do you change content like what do you see yourself doing in the next like five years not five years five years is like i hate this question but i guess i just talking about content wise content not competing in the bodybuilding side yeah um shit that's a good question um i still see myself making content um because as crazy as it sounds bradley even though this shit is the fucking absolute
Starting point is 01:16:10 going to be the absolute death of me one day and my mental health. For sure. I like it. I like it. I like this. I like this. I like everything about it.
Starting point is 01:16:20 Like the fucking lights. I like the fucking plants. I even like this. What the fuck is this? Jim weed. I want to drink one of these. Like I just, I like everything about it.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Even though it's hurting my soul on the inside. Yeah, it's so fucked. You know what I mean? I'm crying. That's so real. But I like it. I don't know why I like it.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Maybe the trauma has defined me and I like pain. Maybe that's why I'm. I'm a good bodybuilder and I train hard because I like to hurt. Maybe I want to feel the hurt. Maybe I want to feel the pain. You know what I'm saying? Like maybe I want myself to feel the pain of like losing my bro, so I don't ever forget losing him because it's like a trauma thing that I can't let go of. And you know, maybe it's the same with you and your dad. Yeah, but that's what I'm starting to realize. It's like I want to prove everyone. I want to prove to my dad, this shouldn't have happened. Yeah. You should be alive. You should have seen the man I became. Yeah. You know what
Starting point is 01:17:06 i'm saying absolutely and i'm getting to a chip on the shoulder kind of i'm getting to a point now though where i'm starting to realize i need to change that you can't yeah we have to let go yeah we got to let go dude yeah shit we need a fucking therapist this is it dude this is our therapy right now this is our therapy right this feels good fuck yeah i don't know where where have you been dude dude i don't know i know you got to come to america more yeah yeah i will shit ayahuasca after august yeah yeah we'll do i swear of god if anything happens to me my fanboys are coming for you you, man. What's going to happen? If I fucking turn it to Connor Murphy.
Starting point is 01:17:40 No, no, no. You'll be good. Okay. Promise. Promise me? Right, promise. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it because I was so afraid of it.
Starting point is 01:17:46 All right. Okay. Like, I was like, yo, this is it. I'm sure you got some good connects for it. Oh, yeah, you're getting me the right people.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Not these fucking shamans that go rape everyone. No, no, no. No, no. I don't want to cock shaman up my ass, dude. No, no, no. That's the last thing I want to wake up with a sore asshole, bro. Fuck. I'll kill a cunt, bro.
Starting point is 01:18:01 No, no, no, no. You got, these people are solid, super solid. Yeah, in America. Yeah, I mean, well, they flew out here. They're from Columbia. Oh, okay. They're proper then. Yeah, super proper.
Starting point is 01:18:10 They don't even speak English proper. Damn, and you did this on your own or you had some homies like to order? I had a friend help me out. Yeah. Yeah, you'd love it, bro. I got you though. Okay, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:19 You might be getting a call for me. Yeah, hell yeah. You'll love it. When I'm back to a human being. Yeah. So, so, so you want to keep making content. Is it going to be fitness related? Um,
Starting point is 01:18:31 I don't think so. I think I'm going to move away from fitness and I'll always be in the fitness world and I'll always remain a fitness icon, whatever you want to call it, influencer. I don't fucking know the words you use these days. But I think I'm going to move away from the fitness content eventually. I mean, how many videos can you keep doing chest brought trains legs. Well, that's how I felt. I'm not going to lie, man.
Starting point is 01:18:52 That's why I felt. And then you collab with a few people, chest right change arms with Joe Blow. Yeah. Chess by doing cars with fucking John Smith. Like, bro, you can only do so many fucking training videos and until you get fucking sick of it. Yeah. I'm at the point where I'm fucking sick
Starting point is 01:19:04 of like seeing myself on camera. I'm like, fuck this guy. And I'm like looking at myself, I'm like, fuck you. We're sick. It's a problem. And so I don't want to be doing the same content over and over and over again
Starting point is 01:19:14 because it's not stimulating my mind. Yeah. Maybe I might get back on my podcast. I started a podcast. It flopped. And like, and again, I say that with massive respect and, you know, transparency
Starting point is 01:19:26 because not everything you're going to do is going to become a success. I've tried to run many business. that failed in the social media and fitness space but many that also were successful but my podcast flopped so I don't know it gave me a cell test I might try again in a few years see how I go for flops I'm just going to fucking not try with the podcast but I do want to do other things man and I'm seeing all these influences like doing like ghost tours or like test taste testing food like and they're in a particular industry but they venture out of the industry and
Starting point is 01:19:56 they do other things yeah it's like I'm this bodybuilder and now I'm going to like Thailand to try exotic foods Or I'm this bodybuilder And I've never been to a party or a festival You're not a party guy, right? Not at all Imagine you make videos like that It's like all right

Starting point is 01:20:20 Getting high as fuck on Molly with Greg Who said chess That would be something else That would go fucking crazy Tons would be like, this is the weirdest, but coolest combo I've ever seen. It'd be so strange and so weird. Who are these people? I think people like it.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Because they wouldn't expect, like, us to be doing that. I'd be like, well, shit. So we need us, but we need a few of the younger guys too. Of course. That's what it'll go crazy. I like that you said that. And I think, and that's what I respect about you, brother. I like the fact that you bring these young and upcoming dudes.
Starting point is 01:20:50 It's like, it's like, it's like you feel like you're their father. Damn, yeah, it's true. And you want to make sure they're going on the right path. You want to make sure they don't suck You want to drip feed them Just a little bit But not too much You know
Starting point is 01:21:03 You want to just a little bit Enough for them To kind of see the light But not enough for them To get tainted by it all And not enough for them To become spoiled little brats So that they work
Starting point is 01:21:11 And they get theirs And I feel like it's like You feel like it's your responsibility I have some good kids And I have some bad kids Oh we all have bad kids I got good ones And bad
