it's been all backwards for young men I
feel very bad for them it's so rare to
see true masculinity lived out now that
I feel like not a lot of people even
know what it is I think masculinity is
about goodness and Leadership they've
just been completely demoralized by
Society where they're told that every
real male behavior is wrong but again
most people aren't pushing those values
of goodness they don't even know where
to start with so much of that
stuff so we are joined by the OG himself
will win what's up man we're happy to
have you back hey I'm happy to be back
hey it's kind of weird to be back in La
back in California after having been
here for almost two years but it's good
to see everyone at the office and you
know new faces of all the people who are
new like you and and everyone else it's
cool man yeah have you become a
stereotypical Florida man I don't think
so no I have not become a stereotypical
Florida man I do I do go to the water a
lot you know and Pub subs and all those
kind of things but having you know
committed any crimes like a normal
Florida man at least I don't think so
not yet have you fought off an alligator
uh not yet I've seen a couple alligators
seen some snakes but you know they're
just like they're big water puppies
those things I love the alligators
they're great lake puppies nice well I
feel like La once you get past you know
all the crackheads and crime and
liberalism you know there's some gems
here too you know like Air1 I heard you
like Air1 yeah you're going to make me
seem like a a toou on here saying I like
aan I just like aan cuz of raw milk I
get as much raw milk as I want it was
the only place it's crazy California
being like the most liberal backward
State and they have the best laws in
America for raw milk you can get raw
milk at the supermarket anything like
that you know there's unpasturized
unhomogenized milk they also just baned
in California but nowhere else in
America this red Dy 03 or something that
they put into foods like artificial
stuff California gets some things right
on on these kind of things but you know
on a lot of things they get it wrong and
it's a terrible place to live but
there's some gems here for sure not
going to lie it definitely became an
tool I'm a huge Air1 Enthusiast okay but
if it makes you feel better the owners
are they're conservative behind the
scenes oh yes I've got a friend of a
friend of the owners okay yeah when I
went there yesterday and got my raw milk
I said howdy to the checkout lady and
she laughed at me like I was crazy and
she's like I've never heard anyone say
that to me I'm like it's a pretty normal
greeting where I where I am in Florida
we're all saying how do we howdy to each
other yeah it's weird to be back weird
to be back in La well again we are happy
to have you here especially cuz you know
I view you as like my ancestor you know
you are the OG personality MH and you
know speaking of ancestry did you bring
me anything for Black History Month uh I
did not no but you can have some raw
milk I'm so lactose intolerant that
might be a bad idea oh see if you're
lactose intolerant you can drink raw
milk really yeah yeah because it's the
the when you pasteurize the milk it
destroys the good enzymes in the milk
which makes people why they can't digest
it pasteurize milk so the raw milk you
can drink that you'll have I guarantee
you you'll have no problems drinking it
oh wow you do a five minute video video
on that I'm I'm trying they don't want
to do it they don't want to do it it's
too controversial well I'll forgive you
for the lack of Black History Month gift
because I know you can't be racist
because who else would have taught you
how to dugee other than black people can
we play that clip really quick
[Music]
cam this is so
iconic oh my wait cuz you were eating
you really did something there wait I
was I was eating yeah you were eating I
thought I was
dancing you're not that far from Jen Z
you know the lingo I don't know what
eating means does that mean like is that
like cooking you never heard like you
ate that you never heard like you ate
that you ate that up I heard like oh you
ate that up yeah or like ate down
sometimes someone lied to you and you
ate it up no no it means like you did so
well at something that like you ate it
up like left no crumbs you never heard
left no crumbs
no wow no you miss a day you miss a lot
of prer you oh I just sound like I'm
missing so much hearing all these
phrases and lingo yeah that tends to be
my thing I feel like it just makeup
phrases sometimes so I could just be
gaslighting you low key yeah eating my
crumbs or whatever definitely doesn't
sound real hey you look on Twitter
you'll see a lot of people saying that a
lot of people eating each other's
crumbs that's what Twitter is too yeah I
feel like the opposite of that but
you're almost there you're almost there
so when you see like your OG videos
maybe not just your dancing ones but
like your original man on the street
content type of videos what do you think
when you see those I was very proud of a
lot of those videos we did I do feel
like at the end I had done so many that
I didn't totally get get as into some of
the ones I did near the end of my career
at prageru was like man I kind of just
got to do some of these I wasn't as
passionate about it but a lot of those
early videos I did especially like the
cultural appropriation videos and many
of the quizzing videos I did and and
other ones where I just you know
destroyed the left or however you want
to put it without sounding like a
complete tool again you know I loved
making those videos and I always went
out there with the intention of of
changing people's minds that it wasn't
about just making people look stupid or
anything I always wanted to change
people's minds whether it was the person
I was talking to or the viewer who was
watching the video so yeah I I loved
making those videos I looked much
younger then definitely less fat oh my
gosh just got to join CrossFit yeah join
CrossFit yeah yeah that's the way to go
but no your videos are so appreciated
you know I don't know if you know my
backstory I used to be very liberal U
grew up with a radical leftist family
and back in 2018 I was a very outspoken
activist online just about every woke
microaggression you can think of and the
very first topic I ever got red pilled
on was cultural appropriation and it was
your video where you were wearing the
sombrero and the Pono or whatever and
asking people and I was flabbergasted
that these Mexican people love loved
seeing you embracing their culture and I
had this mentality that you know there's
no way they're not going to be offended
they're going to think it's a mockery
they're going to think it's all these
different things when you went into that
were you confident they were going to be
as receptive to you as they were oh
definitely they're the ones who sold me
the costume so so I was like yeah of
course these people are going to be
receptive to it I mean it's so funny you
know everyone will always you do in on
the street and they're always talking
about the editing and editing tricks and
cutting certain things out yada y yada
of course we can't put everything in but
I will guarantee that in like that
Mexican video I dressed up as a Mexican
those are the people that we talked to
in the video we didn't have to go out of
our way to find those people those were
the only people the Mexican people who
we talked to and we put them in the
video and every single one we talked to
even the Mexican kid at UCLA who was in
the video at the end of the video he was
all about it too you know it's the white
rich liberal kids who are always the one
who are offended yeah CU they have
nothing else going on in their lives
they're so quick to just call everyone a
colonizer speaking of that do you think
that Aldo has colonized man on the
street no Aldo's a great guy Aldo does a
great job and I just found out today he
doesn't shampoo either so neither of us
shampoo our hair yeah oh yeah I haven't
shampooed in a month he's on like a year
you know that's common for black people
but I never knew that white people don't
shampoo their hair well white PE what do
you think white people did for thousands
of
years I mean that's a fair statement you
know I just know we have such different
hair textures cuz like my understanding
is that white hair hair gets greasy but
black hair dries out so we have to put
moisturizer in our hair so that's why we
don't wash it as often what's the
benefit of washing your hair less well
when you don't use shampoo and things
like that it doesn't take all the
natural oils out of your hair so you if
you don't shampoo you'll start getting a
lot of grease in your hair at first
you'll have like this phase and that's
when a lot of people quit because
they're like oh my hair is disgusting
now so I'm just I'm going to use shampoo
again but if you get past that initial
phase your hair turns into the most
luscious luxurious hair that that you
could imagine so full of life and with
all the natural oils in it that you need
of course you still take a shower and
you rinse off and you do all these
things but you're just not using the
shampoo people haven't been using
shampoo for thousands of years and
they've had great hair they've been fine
look at the old paintings of people did
they have nasty greasy hair and these
paintings and photograph no they look
great mhm you know you take conservative
to a whole another level you're going
thousands of years back to the OG I'm
like neanderthals what a neanderthals do
you know conservatism is is going all
the way back to the Paleo I era wow you
know yeah that's the next stage of
conservatism this is another layer of me
always saying you're my ancestor here
yeah yeah yeah and then you it's no
longer America first it's Pangia first
yeah that's the next move I love that
and we're all indigenous yeah exactly
exactly stolen land you know so speaking
of Aldo and you know Aldo just released
a fantastic mini doc about masculinity
did you have a chance to watch that no I
didn't okay well you definitely should
check it out and I went to ask you why
do you think there is such a crisis
right now of a lack of masculinity um
this going to make me sound like a
boomer I think one of the problems is
not just video games in itself but
social media and video games kind of
together there's so many of these video
games right now if you know something
like fortnite or any of these games
where men can go on there boys whatever
and go and create a fake avatar on one
of these games you know what I'm talking
about like with a costume and different
names and all these things and building
up their hero and character and stuff
and it's like a lot of these people care
more about building up that character in
one of these games than about building
themselves up and it's like when you die
is it going to matter what your your
character in some video game was built
up as or your social media was built up
as no but these are the things that that
young men care care about a lot of the
time and then they've just been
completely demoralized by Society where
they're told that every real male
behavior is wrong that if you have a a
Pop-Tart and you chew it into the shape
of a gun and start playing Cowboys and
Indians with your friend it's somehow
bad and you have ADHD and now we have to
give you literally meth in a pill it's
just it's been all backwards for young
men I feel very bad for them but I think
young men need to take a look back and
say okay what are the things that men
have been doing for hundreds thousands
of years that has been about shivery
about helping people about striving for
goodness and truth and Beauty you know
it's a hard road to take It's A Hard
Road to be the person who makes their
life into an adventure into a quest into
something that is heroic but it's a way
forward for these young men to be able
to make the changes in their life that
they want to see 100% you know it's so
rare to see true masculinity lived out
now that I feel like not a lot of people
even know what it is how would you
define masculinity I think masculinity
is about goodness and Leadership you
know goodness is kind of this big bigger
umbrella term and you can put you can
put you know Christian virtues and and
things like that within it but it's
really about things that are just
objectively good and a man being a
leader of showcasing those things to
other people and that's Al very similar
to chivalry you know chivalry isn't just
opening doors for women chivalry is a
almost like a hero's Honor Code of the
way that you live life of exemplifying
yourself in goodness and and and
morality and trying to help others who
don't have that you know it's being a
leader for goodness I think is is
masculinity you know and then a woman in
terms of you know femininity and these
things it's not just like a follower of
the man but it's also a leader in that
goodness but the things that women that
are good for women are than men in a lot
of respects and so they're pushing those
things and the men are pushing those
things through chivalry and their women
are doing it through nurturing and they
kind of balance each other out but again
most people aren't pushing those values
of goodness they don't even know where
to start with so much of that stuff how
exactly does this golf fit into your
definition of masculinity disc golf is
the most masculine sport first of all I
don't watch I don't watch sports ball or
you know anything like that you know
apparently the Super Bowl's happening
soon I don't I don't even know but I
watch disc golf and I play dis golf I'm
a professional disc golfer now oh we see
we have your stats up here you're going
to see how last tournaments hey I'm
impressed that you're even a pro I hey
I'm in amateur League see classification
amateur on there current rating 842 yeah
that's pretty good 842 you know I'm
impressed yeah I'm working on it I just
went and played dis golf this last
weekend in California it's it's the
manliest sport and it's also the coolest
sport mhm and what makes it so cool
what's the appeal okay so you have
normal golf right yeah you got little
ball golf you got either little balls no
one wants that you want big discs right
it's little balls or big discs I choose
big discs you know that's just that's
just what what I prefer when it comes to
you know a sport that I'm going to play
and it's it's just a lot more fun I
respect it would you say that disc golf
has increased your
RZ it's eating my crumbs for sure I was
going to say do I need to Define RZ for
you Riz is like uh is like is it like
Charisma yeah okay personally I do hate
the term Riz okay I just threw that out
there since it's very geny so it's like
Charisma like your character MH yeah I
think so it gets me active it gets me my
my blood flowing I love competing so you
know that's why I did the tournaments
and things like that yeah I also think
men should find something even when
you're older when you're done with you
know High School sports or whatever
something that they can compete in to
compete against other men in that's that
that actually means something to them
that's that's fun it could be anything
you know but just as long as you're
getting into a place where you're
competing against other men in a
competition I think is really important
nice and you can do things where you're
competing even like against yourself
running and and stuff like that but a
lot of people don't do that yeah it's
all about challenging yourself MH you
know one of the comments I do see on a
lot of the videos that we repost of you
especially doing man on the streets
people always say how much Riz you have
how many numbers did you get while doing
yeah did you get a lot of numbers while
doing man on the street like views no
like you know oh emails number yeah oh I
mean sometimes I I that's what the
people really want to know I'm trying to
think not really no I was very dedicated
to what I was doing N9 to five yeah
exactly 5:30
hits no I there were plenty of times
where you met many beautiful women going
and doing and that and but it was you
know for the most part the women who I
would and talk to while I was doing
those videos
were not on our side I guess you could
say you know they were usually the
Liberals and you know even if they were
cute or beautiful or anything like that
most of them just didn't have the same
values as me so no man on the street was
not a a great place for picking up women
or anything like that not a Riz Olympics
not a Riz Olympics you know I had a list
of adjectives I thought you were going
to use to describe these liberals I was
like is it going to be crazy blue-haired
unhinged disheveled like which one was
it going to be um so I do have another
question for you can you name three WNBA
players what what is that
it's the women's equivalent of the NBA
oh got it no no I can't do you think it
makes you a misogynist that you can't
name three WNBA players no I don't think
anyone could you know I I'm not going to
say if I agree or disagree but why do
you think it is that so many people and
for the record I do agree uh why do you
think it is that so many people think
that WNBA players should be getting paid
as much as Steph
Curry um I don't think they're very well
informed economics first of all when it
comes to a certain thing it's like I I
just had a company right I had a company
and you have a a journalist to make
stories that do 10 times worse than a
journalist to than another journalist
right does that journalist deserve to be
paid the same amount when it comes to
something like that based off like a
commission standard or how well the
company's doing of course not you know
the product of the work that you're
doing is important with how much you are
compensated for you know you obviously
have to agree with that with your
employer and figure that out in the
beginning but if the WNBA doesn't make
any money because nobody watches and you
don't get paid as much as one of these
people that's just the way it goes can't
can't fix that for you I can't fix that
for you I love that well one last
question is there anything else you
would like to get off your chest today
