Everyone has the primal potential to be a self-made king through nine ancestral tenets

Everybody's born with the same primal potential to be a self fucking made king. Right? And so this is what this is. My job is, is to turn everybody into a fucking king, these nine ancestral tents that I model, teaching and preaching... sleep, eat, move, shield, connect, cold, sun, fight and bond.

Sunning your balls can improve androgens and is 'pretty primal'

If you sun your balls, there is a study. It's an older study, I think it's from like the fifties or sixties that shows that it does improve androgens, not necessarily testosterone... I think it's pretty fucking primal. Right? I mean, we, we didn't evolve essentially with clothes... I think it's pretty primal to do.

While some studies exist on UV exposure and hormones, the scientific consensus on 'testicle sunning' as a viable medical treatment for testosterone is not established.

Calling another man 'buddy' or 'pal' is the ultimate subtle emasculation

Calling someone buddy or pal... buddying them. Total emasculation. And you just drop the pal or the buddy's like, okay buddy. That's just the worst.

There's nothing more irritating actually than like being told that you're mad about something that you're not. And then your whole little world around you is like, people like, look how mad you are.
