and jail as a whole I mean there's so many stories I can tell there's so many different ways I remember it there were times I laughed I will sit and say some of the best days of my life were in jail get out of here yeah and some of the worst days of my life were in jail but there were days where me and Tristan were finally in the same cell there's times we laughed like we've never laughed before I'll sit and admit that's absolutely not really true I feel like if you're going to be
the kind of person who strives for an exceptional life which is what I am I think I'd be a coward if I said I want an exceptional life but I only want to be exceptional in a good way I don't think that's genuine I want an exceptional life exceptional means away from the norm and away from the norm means flying your Bugatti on a jet to Dubai and taking your own plane to meet it there and it also means a Romanian dungeon quick cockroaches on New Year's Eve they're both exceptional experiences and the times I
was with my brother and it was just him and I we truly had some genuine days where we laughed like we always laugh me and him laugh and have fun on a private jet and we laughed and had fun in a Romanian prison cell because that's just who we are and I also have to give my brother some credit while we're here I would like to state that I absolutely genuinely believe I have the best brother in the world and I'll tell you why I always knew I had the best brother in the world but
he proved it in jail and I'll tell you why my brother was put in jail for being my brother he hasn't said any videos he hasn't said anything on the internet Jesus said any of the things I've supposedly said he's not the Matrix isn't attacking him the BBC doesn't print about him nothing why was Tristan Tate in jail because it's Tate brothers so they just took him and threw him in a Cell now what's interesting is when I got out of jail so many people near me got Heat all business partners got hate with attacks
they got hit with like a tax paperwork and uh they were calling everyone who's ever known me and ex-girlfriends thought he and all these people got heat and some people complained some people didn't but some people were like oh since you've been in jail it's been so stressful for me the media is outside my house like stressful for you I was in jail what do you want me to do and people were complaining at me and as these people start to complain I sat there I said to Tristan you got thrown in jail purely for
being my brother and never for a fraction of a second did you even moan didn't even not even for a fraction of a second did he say oh they only put me here because of you why am I here I'm innocent this has nothing to do with me nothing in fact he said the absolute opposite he said I am so glad I went to jail with you I would be furious if they sent you here by yourself if they're going to lock you up they better lock me up and there was a time about two
months in because there's less media pressure on Tristan they were talking about releasing Tristan first and he was saying no I won't leave without Andrew going down with the ship I won't leave unless my brother leaves I won't leave and he was telling the guards I won't leave keep me here I'm not leaving they said the judge says you have to leave you to leave because then I will stand outside the gate I'll sleep outside I ain't leaving this jail and our lawyer said well we can make an appeal to just release you because there's
less media scrutiny around you and Chris is like no Andrew's in jail I'm in jail refused to leave he was adamant he had to stay that's a brother for me and it was the same for me I said to Tristan if they came in to me and said Andrew go home I'll be like no no way Tristan's in jail I'm in jail we're in jail together he never for a second complained never bitched never moaned and he was only in jail for being my brother and then I come out and there's other people oh they
sent me a piece of paper blah blah blah you're moaning it's unbelievable you truly learn like I said jail confirms everything you already knew about the world and you truly learn who's on your side and who isn't and that's good to learn but it's it's actually crazy the also the the larger psychological analysis of it all everyone lives inside their own minds right so it's kind of crazy I came out of jail and some of the first messages I got from people was them complaining about the problems me being in jail had given like you
think that wouldn't happen right you think oh you come out of jail people will be like oh are you okay they're like oh you're okay you're out now okay yeah well listen Mo you'd be amazed you'd be amazed and I'm like I was in jail what do you want me to do yeah that sounds unfortunate I was in your jail cell what do you want me to do about it it's kind of crazy how much everyone's kind of self-interested so it's been a learning curve and you learn a lot about a lot of different people
and your circle gets smaller and I think that's probably one of the reasons God put me in there to just learn a lot and make my circle smaller and you just have to listen to him and pay attention to it and say okay right you're off you're off you're off you're on you're on your own but my brother I have to give him credit because I tell you I also think me and Tristan are one of the best teams in the world because we have different roles inside of our Brotherhood my role is to be
concerned and to panic not panic that's the wrong word I never Panic my role is to be concerned and try and fix the problem I'm in jail pacing up and down how do we get out and Tristan's role is to not care and together that helps us achieve the objective best because when we really need to get out I'm in charge his role is to not care sometimes when it was when it was at the height of frustration I needed his superpower Tristan's superpower and this is a super powerful life is he is the master
of not giving a [ __ ] we would go to court we would go to court imagine this you're in jail right weekends were the worst the TV was worse on weekends for some reason like you had to do like three channels the TV the weekends were the worst and you could hear out the window everyone having fun I hated weekends so on a Friday would roll around I'd say Okay Tristan we just have to Zen away the weekend and on Monday There's Court we just have to Zen away the weekend so it's the weekend
we just sit there staring at the wall intrusive thoughts can't sleep all those things you're trying to got your brain just sitting in silence because the room's tapped just staring at the wall just staring at the wall and you think Monday would never come and Monday would eventually come right or Sunday night comes at 8am on Monday they're going to take you to court and they might let you go home they might let you go home you've done nothing this person in this room can decide if you go home and it's Sunday night and you
can't sleep and you're awake all night long there's no clock but you just you just the seconds feel like hours you're just sitting there eventually a am comes put you in handcuffs walk you to the court you walk in there everyone speaks Romanian don't have a clue what's going on everyone's just talking at each other in Romanian then they say you'll get the answer in three hours go back to jail when I went back to jail I was sitting in the room I was like do I pack to go home no that's too optimistic okay
but you're nervous you're like you're anxious am I gonna go home is it over do I get to go home I called the lawyer do you have an answer yet no no answer yet okay sitting there I can barely sit still Tristan finishes Court walks straight into the room it's a matrix attack it's [ __ ] I'm going to sleep and went to bed I only had a [ __ ] [Music] [ __ ] six hours later Matrix attack I'm like yeah you thought so just rolled back over didn't care but it's perfect for a
guy like you but that's what you need I need that I agree but if I had someone else next to me is hyped as me I would have gone insane I agree I need someone like him who's just like he had the superpowers like bro I love jail Jail's great look we got coffee I love jail none of my women are messaging me I love jail truth I may I I'm telling you I had 45 minutes on the phone a day and I used all of my minutes Tristan never made a single phone call from
jail get added not one I was like Tristan do you want to speak to anyone nah they're watching Romanian news didn't give a [ __ ] like bulletproof but the only reason he's so bulletproof that way is because he knows I'm doing the absolute best the other way he couldn't be that way if I wasn't trying to get us out because then he would try to get out you need the yin and yang so like when I when I when it was chill time it was his mental frame and when it was attacked how do
we get out here it was my mental frame but Tristan's superpower genuinely is genuinely genuinely not caring I can't explain the level of how much he didn't it didn't affect him he didn't bother him at all I didn't see him sad not that you smiling you didn't care you consider yourself a stoic how much more stoic is he than you I just think we have different roles and I think we've evolved into them over the time because it's not just jails with everything that's what we are with everything if there's a business problem I'm the
one who's like [ __ ] we have to fix this now [ __ ] [ __ ] and Tristan's the one like Andrew you are so ridiculously Rich chill but we need that we need both right but he couldn't be that chilled if I wasn't the way I was because he wouldn't be successful you need the opposite so everyone goes oh you and your brother are so close we're so close because we're actually very different people but yeah he was amazing in jail and even afterwards I I still struggle to sleep he sleeps fine because
I think my experience of jail was a far more stressful one because I but I adopted that now I'm not saying I couldn't have done what Tristan did I could have done what Tristan did if I were to go into jail and say your MO is to not care I could not care but my ammo was how do I get out of this Matrix attack so I I was the most stressed I've ever been in my life so that's carried over so I don't sleep he sleeps fine but he slept fine in jail so why
wouldn't you sleep fine now right so yeah it was uh it was interesting but I have to give him props because it's it's amazing to have that level of clarity and he said things which were absolutely not really true things I already knew but it was nice to hear I want to ask you a question so I have two boys right and one that they're going to watch is they're not going to watch it right now they're 11 nine but they're one they're going to watch this right uh and in school you know I'll go
and the kids that are you know 11 12 13 they're like you you Andrew take you know how was that interview oh my God so 11 year old kids are watching these types of content about it that's pretty wild where they're at but here's a question about brothers there's a lot of brothers out there as a father there are certain principles I'm teaching them okay one if you can speak from the idea of how your bond was built based on a man your father memory injecting certain values and principles under two of you yeah you
guys better do this I don't want to see this yeah and then which part of the code did you guys create because there's friendship but there's Brotherhood there's a very different story absolutely how was that developed yeah so my father and I have endless stories about my father a lot of people who dislike me would call them an extremist I don't think he was an extremist I truly believe I had the best father on the planet and from a very young age he made it clear he said look your Tates and you're going to have
animes you've got people who are against you your best bet is to be a team so whenever me and Tristan would fight which happened we got put in a room together and we had to sit in that room and my dad would say three hours or four hours in silence sit us down in the room here here looking at each other and say if I hear a noise I'm starting the time again and we'd have to just imagine you know you're a kid and you fight and you're Furious and you're so mad and then you
end up sitting across from the person you hate silent because you make a noise dad gets mad and Dad's outside right so just sit there two hours don't make a noise you need to stare at each other and over time we thought every time dad was home we just stopped fighting because it wasn't worth it sitting in this isolation weird silent stare thing because that's what happened don't repeat it happened like five times that we just stopped fighting we literally we'd fight all the time when Mom was home and when Dad would come home we'd
literally just look at each other like truce like we can't we don't want we don't want to sit and do this thing we had to do so we became a team and then I think it evolved from there because there's always been a hierarchy I am the older brother I'm the bigger brother he does respect me for that we both have opinions but you know it can be it can be vetoed by me in the end and we have our specific roles my specific role is I'm I'm the one who takes the most action I'm
the one who over worries I believe especially in business and many other things I say it to all my staff I say react I said react fast react early like Panic early like Panic now I don't believe in waiting for things it's just not who I am I can give you a million different examples if if my email processor just happened before my cancellation said oh we'll put your account under review you'll have an answer in 72 hours as soon as I get that email within three minutes I'm like get a new one get a
new one I've never waited for anything in my life and it worked I've never waited and it worked out fine Ever every time that you're canceled every time I should delete it every time somebody will get a new one now get just get a new one I need today's email I'll get a new one we can't get into one don't accept us build one so then a day we build our own like I'm the Panic fast and early guy Tristan's the complete opposite and that makes us a perfect Synergy and I I super need him
and I need his energy especially in jail man he was fantastic in jail he was like Andrew he goes if when you were 18 they told you you could be one of the richest most famous men on Earth with street cred in every single City that knows how to speak English all you had to do was sit in jail for two months would you have taken it it's like yeah you go some what the [ __ ] do you care for eign what kind of man hasn't been to jail what kind of man hasn't been
to jail he loved jail he was loving that all the time because what kind of man is in the jail of course I'm in the jail I'm just a day of course I go to jail but he didn't care and his energy was amazing to tap into but we both understand that we neither of us could be us without the other ones polar and that's why we live together that's why we'll always live together I've had a lot of like women try and say why do you still live with your brother why do you want
to live with me and I try and explain to them that one I don't think I can be my most competitive without him two I'm most emotionally stable with him I like the idea I'm most competitive with him I I'm my best version of me if it doesn't matter I have to go into a fight doesn't matter if I have to run a business I'm better with Tristan by my side than it would be by myself and three my ideal family life even my ideal family the way I live my life now is very much
more like a clan than a nuclear family I like me my girl my kids Tristan his girl his kids my cousin his girl his kids I like this idea of lots of people I like that I like that feeling so girl say to me well you don't want a family like no I want family bigger than you want I just don't want to just sit with you I want a lot of people around me and I think it's better for that and I think it's better for the children especially also I think they enjoy it
more but yeah I've got the best brother on the planet I truly do and um this is why I'm saying some of our Best Days of Our Lives are in jail I was going to ask you that you guys live here in this compound it's amazing place I was going to ask you you kind of just answered it but you foresee yourself living with your brother the rest of your life thousand percent thousand percent I can't imagine not wanting to live with Tristan if you want privacy you have privacy right we have a big house
it is what it is but I can't imagine him not being around if there's a problem I just shout his name or I just can't imagine it and and I know on my best self also there's the overall the overall male competition the masculine competition that exists between us between all men so we live currently here we've got me my brother my brother's personal trainers here we got camera guys here we got War Room guys here we've got loads of guys here but I can give you a million examples there was a record set a
next story of a gym and there's a stair machine and there was a record set of 188 floors within a time frame I came along and smashed it with 198. I only held the record for 45 minutes because someone beat it with 202. as soon as the record's beat and everyone gets pissed off and puts their trainers on puts their shoes on as soon as it's beaten everyone gets mad who beat it who beat it and the level you never thought you'd be able to push yourself 202 202 floors in 30 minutes good luck 200
no no three minutes no he that's what that was beaten with now it's 222. they're beating again I don't know they'll ever get to that but I'm still 198 I gotta try again but the point is when you have men around you there's that natural masculine competition and that's what drives you if you're going to be the best version of yourself even if you're a boxer training for a fight you train with a team you train with other boxers you train with other boxers or other trainers if you're a football if you're a football team
you're pushed by your team I think life should be the same right if imagine you took the normal average man and you moved him into a house of five people and you had a philosopher and uh Fitness expert and uh hypnotist whatever it was these will be that will make him a more competitive person overall because he's trying to compete with all the other people who are on his level you don't want to take [ __ ] position so I I don't like the idea of my life without masculine competition that's what I'll always listen
to my brother and if you met a girl one day who says Tay I want to have have your babies live with you but it's kind of weird that your brother's here what would you say to her yeah a few of them have said that I offer some degree of compromise I'm like look we can have our own house separate if you really want but I'm gonna be spending a lot of time at that other house including nights over I want to stay with where my brother is so you wouldn't compromise a little bit but
he's going to be living next door or with you 100 and I don't think and that may be unusual in the Western World I don't think that's unusual in many places I love that well you talk about this all the time you don't even know how much I love that yeah I love that to me as a kid that was a dream like if you could you know right next to each other uh there's a family in our community uh billionaire family they live right next to each other the the oldest son has the biggest
house 12 000 square feet then the youngest son has the second biggest house eight thousand square feet and the parents live in a six thousand square foot house right next to me absolutely okay the two boys have four kids the eight kids are always together absolutely what a great environment absolutely it's a dream environment absolutely I I can't see how a person wouldn't buy into that the benefits of it and and there's also benefits to the relationship because I I think you have a better relationship with your woman if she can go and talk with
other women and be with women and I'm with guys and then you're together sometimes and you can split it out it's better for everybody this whole idea of the of just man woman boom childbang I understand where it's come from I'm not saying it's all typically bad but I do think that in those scenarios there's a lot of men who are particularly miserable particularly men especially and the idea of a clan and having that team around you I love that I wouldn't live any other way I love living that way well being born and raised
in Miami there's a lot of Latin culture there and you know the American friends they just move out move on their own that's what they do but in Latin culture the abuela is living in the house that families living in there the the women are all kind of congregated together we could also have a different world we can also discuss it financially right if if you're a man and a woman and you have three boys and they're let's say traditional Western whatever they all go and pay three different rents and they all move in with
their girlfriends and everyone's getting wrecked right if you all stay together and combine your income you also do much better financially there's not a lot of immigrants even survived especially Muslim immigrants in England I've heard you tell the story about it absolutely yeah they all stay together in one big house they all pool their incomes you have a bunch of people with average jobs and Ferraris on the drive and then they buy the house they're in then they buy another you pull the incomes if you all split and separate and just spread out you're just
paying all different rents all different electricity bills and you just go broke you have to think of the last name and the generation and the clan as a whole so yeah I love the idea I live with my brother I'll never live without him and yeah his woman can move in of course his kids can be around me of course I'm Uncle why not I have no problem with that my neck is an application which allows you to take a minute to connect with influencers from all around the world my name is Andrew Tate and
