The irony really is that Louis is actually more masculine than Tate. He’s confident, self aware and successful with excellent social skills. He’s also humble and has achieved a level of mastery in his field. All while being genuine and not having to be manipulative
exactly, how about we don't lionise unhinged men with personality disorders who, instead of sorting out a lifetime of traumas, have declared war on humanity (and women in particular).
@@mikezero7422no, sad weird lonely male tate fans would disagree. In all honesty most of the intelligent and aspirational young women I know despise Tate and adore Theorux. The latter is a far better role model.
As a therapist I have always thought Louis Theroux would make an excellent therapist. His ability to sit with people who often might hold ‘contemptible views’ and listen to them in a neutral way whilst remaining genuine is quite a skill.
@@Nhnhnfk ... And, YOU DO? 🤨 Anyone who even remotely "BELIEVES" that THEY "understand" psycho-babble "therapy" is incredibly mind-controlled and delusional. And, I say that being a retired 48-yr. Healthcare Worker.
I was about to say the same thing, he has a way of disarming people because he isn’t confrontational so whoever he is speaking to doesn’t immediately get defensive. You will find most people will tell everything you need to know if you give them the opportunity to do so.
Louis is probably the one person I would trust to make a genuinely balanced and fair documentary about the Tate brothers. His super skill is not usually in using snaky journalistic tactics of trying to trap or trick interviewees...but rather in asking them the best questions to reveal that person's genuine true self. A very rare skill indeed.
Sadly, Louis has become very one sided politically and culturally and these perspectives have increasingly been on public display over the years. He has very middle-class views that are representative of the wealthy bubble he lives in. Very progressive, pro-censorship, pro status-quo. Hence why this video segment could be viewed as pretty ironic.
"Austentatious humility is its own poison" is such a good bit of introspection from Louis. There are people who definitely use the "I'm not like other rich people" statement as a way to make themselves feel special. Then there are others who genuinely don't care. I imagine that Louis is the latter, but it must be a bit of a tightrope once you become aware of it.
I picked up on that. The ego can work on both ends of any spectrum. Similar to people who have the moral high ground on everyone else. It's not good being a bad person. But it's also not good telling everybody how much of a good person you are either. Egoism at its finest. One of the things I love about Louis is that he is very conscious and happy to be self-critical.
You guys all realise he was best mates with Jimmy Savile and had to do a documentary on himself just to try to look impassive.... THAT'S why he's parted from BBC.
Yeah with all the contacts through his education and class . England is the most anti working class country I lived in and I was born under Apartheid mixes race in South Africa .England is all about class Apartheid not race.
"I couldn't give a f**k about your Bugatti, I think it's embarrassing that you have one" 😂 Preach Louis. Constantly talking about your money and cars is actually a sign of insecurity and poor self awareness and it's deeply unattractive
@@Obs23456 how has Tate not earned what he has? 😂😂 You know absolutely nothing 🐑 He’s a kid from a council estate who literally fought and battled his way to the top 😂 you guys are so blinded by hated you can’t even see past the base level persona to see the real Tate - what you see is a persona and a totally false one depending on which side you’re on. The real tate is a highly intelligent, motivated and drive , cold and calculating individual. The houses cars and other toys are just that, toys. He won’t really care about them and would be the same person if he lost it all and was in a flat in Luton again (he’d just rebuild) but that doesn’t mean he won’t use it for views - he’s conning everyone What’s really funny is, you won’t even realise HE and his people will be intentionally flaming your hatred by making videos for both sides - YOU’RE paying his bills and buying his Bugattis 😂😂
@africaperspecta1433Just curious here, but I have a hypothetical. Say a person is poor, nice and humble their whole lives and works hard to move up in “class”. Is this person no longer capable of being humble? If not, then what is it that caused them not to be humble? Is it the change in “class”, the success, or some other measure that I can’t see?
@africaperspecta1433 Is reading comprehension difficult. I said here’s an hypothetical. I’m not talking about LT. So if you care to answer my hypothetical then hit me up.
@africaperspecta1433 Ah so by that logic then nice people simply can’t ever become wealthy. I once told my friend he was the dumbest person I’ve spoken with, he will be happy he has moved up from that position now.
I would judge that on what one out of the 2 would go to the front line and die for their country and protect its women, who'll be sitting at home. The real man in that situation would not be louis lol. He may be flash, and offend those who dont have, but he is masculine and more like those who died to protect what we all take for granted today
@@leaweston7969 im not saying men dont need occasional support. But we dont need constant support. Thats all. Just an opinion based on years of observation. You gals gotta stop feminising men, thats half the trouble here.
I've watched videos of Tate boasting about how he has scammed thousands of men out of millions of dollars. He is no more than a bottom feeding scumbag that deserves the prison time hopefully coming his way. Louis Thereoux on the other hand is a model on integrity. A real man.
Difference is Louis likes to watch but Tate likes to be watched. Louis is an anthropologist, like a hunter in a hide, he wants to blend in and observe humans behaving without consideration for his presence. This is a more substantial way to go through life. If you always demand the room to notice you and respond to you then every room becomes the same. You live in a bubble and become more and more locked away in your ivory tower. Someone curious like Louis would HATE that reality. To observe others you need them to forget you are there.
I love Louis. But most people wouldn’t want be around the disturbing people and groups he interviews. So yours is not a fair analogy. It’s not like he’s just someone observing people from a park bench or in the corner of a room at an average function.
@@NoRUclipsName1 but therein lies the uniqueness of Louis interviews. Most of us have been in the company of people with deeply unpleasant views (on race, religion, etc) and although we look to distance ourselves from those people wonder what lies behind their ways of thinking/ways they act. I remember being in a pub once just before a football match (we were all supporting the same team) and a guy gets up on a table and starts singing a very racist and homophobic song about a player and although no one joined in with him, no one heckled him or turned their backs either. I always wondered what makes a person behave like that. Louis skill is being able to give us a window into the minds of people like that.
@Tommy Bronze You should read 'In Plain Sight: The Life and Lies of Jimmy Saville' by Dan Davis. The original hardback is a doorstopper, weighing in at least my or so. But utter fascinating. The man who wrote it didn't spend a few weeks with him, but more like over a year. And this is the scary part: Dan isn't exactly a chump, either. But here's the thing about genuine psychopathy, or, as the DSM-V describes it, Antisocial Personality Disorder: they tightly wrap themselves within multiple layers, to the point all you see is what they want you to see. In Saville's case, as described in the book, he could fool almost everyone as this charming, affable, avuncular, eccentric, personality. Heck, for some reason I can't recall, but which is covered in that book, he was buried with a Green Beret, as the Royal Marines made him a Honorary Commando. A maternal cousin of mine was an actual Enlisted Commando himself, and one of the smartest people I know. How the hell did Saville pass the sniff test on that one, nobody knows. Then there's the whole Broadmore thing, where he was practically given the keys to the entire hospital. As you very well know, that place is filled to the rooftops with the most mentally ill, and dangerous people, in England, if not the whole of the UK. Yet, he was given free lodgings there by some of the foremost Forensic Psychologists, and Psychiatrists in the nation. My point being is that Saville built such an elaborate façade, behind which lay a pathological liar, to the point that Dan, after Saville's death, had to do a complete re-evaluation of not only all his interview notes, but spends a considerable amount of time into _really_ digging into that man's past, only to discover a labyrinth of mirrors, some more distorted than others, and some dark mirrors, which reflected little light at all. But, as Dan writes, the truly worse thing was the construct that Jimmy Saville built around himself was almost so air-tight, that he fooled an entire nation as this eccentric guy, that everyone loved, because of his extrovert personality. I myself have seen that on a personal scale. My dad was, in his lifetime, not only a respected driver on the District Line, but, later, a postman whom helped, in little ways, the elderly people on his route. He even developed a casual acquaintance with William Woollard. What no-one would ever expect was he began sexually abusing my younger, severely disabled, sister and I, when I was 14; once a fortnight for years. And he was violent with it ... But he wasn't the real monster. That was was our mum, whom not only gaslight me into pretending it wasn't happening, but fooled everyone around her as being this loving parent, especially of a disabled child. But behind the front door, she was everything but. I felt like I was raising my sister more than she was in ways that no 15yr old had had to with any younger sister. When I told my therapist what I had to do for my sister - which I will spare you the details - she was shocked, and angry for me. In her 30+ years of clinical experience, she has never heard a more dysfunctional person than my mum. So when, finally, dad was given a nine year prison sentence, my therapist said my mum should've recieved at least half of that, for what she didn't do, as much as what she did do. And yet, in the church she belonged to, she was held up as this suffering person ... who would visit my dad on a regular basis, whilst still locked up ... those same church Elders would also take me to see him, too, despite knowing full well what he had done ... Hence that book resonated with me, as I know what evil in disguise looks like ... I don't blame Louis one bit. For if my dad and mum where able to fool people close to them of their true nature, then Saville easily got away with deceiving an entire nation, except for whom I suspect knows child sexual abuse on a personal level ... ... for even after my mum's death, her side of her family has disowned me ... for just telling the truth, and shattering their hagiography of her, which they still believe to be true. No apologies ... just set adrift. And, now that my dad is also dead, I have scant support from even my aunt, his younger sister, and nothing from his older brother ... Insight into evil, which few genuinely have, without experience, find it hard to understand those whom do. In my case, I'm 48, and aside from my physical disabilities, those seven years of physical and sexual abuse has left me a pretty broken man that is only now able to rebuild something out of ruins, abet I will never be employable again ... In short, both Louis and Dan where deceived by an evil that neither could possibly understand as it went far beyond what the human mind can conceptually perceive ... ... but only those touched by it, can. In my case, my insight has come with a cost far too high to pay back ...
@@tommybronze3451 Well the entire British public was taken in by Saville. Most British parents were dying to get their kids to meet old Jimmy for a Jim'll fix it medal. Theroux' interview was the first time many actually noticed Saville was a bit odd as Theroux's disarming style enabled someone who was incredibly good at hiding his dark side to show it for moments. I remember watching it and thinking, my god this guy is actually mental. In hindsight, obviously _everyone_ knew he was a wrong ' un all along. In reality, almost no one did at the time apart from his victims and some people close to him. Saville was very skilled at deceiving people.
@nigelft I can't see the comment you replied to. It seems to have been deleted. But I'll say this: by the time Theroux interviewed Savile, Savile had years of allegations under his belt. It wasn't just a meet up and chat. And he was charmed rather than alerted. What excuse does an investigative interviewer like Theroux have to turn up unprepared for such a big work event? Same standards I have for Candace Owens covering for Tate. She cannot use the "I didn't know" defence in her line of work. How can we, the public, know the huge possibility of evil, but they don't have a clue?
Louis Theroux is spot on here, as ever, in being the Anti-Tate. He’s also a glowing example of how you don’t have to be a muscle bound misogynist to appeal to lots of women ;)
yeah because Tate is a mysoginist for showing the true and dark nature of female lower drives. did the media tell you this. and you are right: muscles have something to do with this, so its good you dont have any.
I love that even in his most awkward and goofiness, Louis is not afraid to be himself and embrace who he is instead of building a wall of masquerades around him to project something he is not. Nobody is perfect, we all are flawed....and very different, but the closest we can come to reaching some kind of nirvana through authenticity is just by being who we want to be, and finding happiness in that mold
I can’t help but feel that Louis inner confidence is, in part, enabled by his background of immense privilege which has imparted a foundation of self assurance and security. Still a deeply admirable outlook though.
Unfortunately that isn't possible for all people My authentic self is cynical and pessimistic. I am well aware other people don't like that so I have to masquerade it or risk being alone
Louis Theroux has to be one of the most important reporters/social commentators of our era. Having watched his docs for what must be over 20 years ( ie : Eugene N. Terre Blanche) one had always thought that his method of interviewing was disingenuous and somewhat cynical, whilst effectively outing ne’er do wells . Listening to him being interviewed actually establishes his wonderful fascination with people,his lack of judging offensive characters (even though he points us in the right direction) and leaves us grateful of his genuine character . I am so happy that this slightly eccentric and non-mainstream journalist is out there for all of us. I also thought that his interviewer , Steven Bartlett was superb .A rising star I hope. Such a pleasure to listen to an interview where people listen to each other. Have an intelligent point to put across. And aren’t swamped by their own egos. Thank you. And especially , thank you Louis for making us more aware on a personal level for so many of this world’s injustices. Hey, who needs a posh watch anyway?
louis is right. there are many people who think displays of wealth are gross and ugly. there are people who choose to live their lives privately and contentedly. i have my life set up so that i'm 100% free. i only need to work about 3 or 4 hours a day, yet i want for nothing and i answer to nobody. and nobody knows my face, by my choice, so i move freely thru the world. that's true wealth.
@@fender1000100 I disagree, It all depends what you define as wealth. Most people still need purpose in their lives and a reason to get up in the morning. Working 3-4 may be his purpose.
@@tommybronze3451 Well, JS basically pulled the wool over the eyes of the entire UK population for years; hence I'd cut Louis some slack regarding the odious Mr Saville
I love this man. Very intelligent, humble, and spot on. I listened to Andrew Tate to make up my own mind and it didn’t take long at all for me to be absolutely repulsed. He is indeed very arrogant and materialistic with no depth to his personality and a total turn off. Not to mention his terrible views on women which just makes me sad for him more than anything.
Except he's not. That's the catch. Women claim they are turned off by him, but in reality you are biologically wired to be into him. It's easy to say you're not into him (because he calls women out regularly), when there's no chance of being with him. But if he was in your town and showed interest, you'd very quickly invent ways to justify why you're into him. He's brash and arrogant. He boasts about material possessions such as cars. A lot is tongue in cheek, but a lot is real arrogance. Women are into that. Women will bypass all sort of things because deep down they are biologically wired to be attracted to dominant men. That's the biggest message we can get from him. Women get mad at him, but that's what they are attracted to. In this modern crisis when men are becoming more feminine, and women are becoming more masculine, he does more good than bad. If we strip down the cars, bravado, and bullshit, he has some solid messages, but more important is the unintended message he provides.
Without the money no woman would go near him or would leave very quickly. He knows this too which is where the insecurity comes from, the only thing anyone could be interested in is his money so no wonder he attracts certain types of people and has the experience and views he has.
From what I've seen Andrew and Tristan both make a lot of great points and give lots of great life advice, not to mention how hilarious they can be sometimes. Would you mind telling me what videos you saw that lead you to your conclusion?
Louis skill is shining a light, not making a judgment. He has empathy for all and let's them speak. He's never there to win an argument: that's his beauty.
Because Louis is the the way he is, it makes me trust him more. He has nothing to promote, no agenda, he just wants to impart information to others. I love how simple his life is, just very normal and the lack of flash makes him more reliable to us ordinary folks
Had my F91W Casio 10 years this year. 7 years in the army, all over the world, extreme weathers, bashed about. And still kept me on time my adult life.
Louis is a rare breed in journalism. His shows are never about himself or trying to sell himself (as others subtly do) and just jumps in with a genuine open interest and brings the audience with him. with no agenda or narrative.
@@petermontgomery8707 He literally doesn't, as stated here he wasn't even working for himself. And that's just him, not selling himself. Compared to tate who literally does sell himself as a brand via social media to sell people his whole 'hustle university' or whatever other scam he is selling. as well as selling a lifestyle image. He literally posts shorts that are nothing more than him with his shirt off pacing up and down lol
@@petermontgomery8707 His brand is an organic one. It isn't something contrived, more just himself and approach being different to the (then at least) current norm which made his shows (although owned by the bbc) stand out
Meanwhile the poor guy - Andrew Tate - is being accused of crimes he didn’t commit while Louis Theroux - the long term BBC employee, takes digs at a guy because of something so superficial like his ostentatiousness.
@@MsBAustralia - You don't know that Tate isn't guilty; yet here you are white-knighting for the man....... Even though he's previously bragged about so much despicable behavior.
Refreshing humility, he's down to earth and has a true introspective enquiry as to whether he himself has it wrong when observing others. This level of calm, humble intellect is severely lacking in so much media these days. Despite his views of flashy wealth he still managed to inspire me to continue starting my own business for the benefits beyond just money... A sense of building something, a creative outlet and growth through challenge. Great watch.
I don't mean to be funny but, if I were a woman, Louis Theroux would be the sort of man I'd go after! Super Cool Sigma Male! And a complete antidote to the hyper-masculine... Ultra-masculine freak show called Andrew Tate! For someone who's essentially a walking vial of pure, super concentrated testosterone, can we even fit someone like Andrew Tate on a statistical bell curve?!
Louis has no perspective on life, he was born into money. Its how he was able to be a journalist almost all of them are trust fund kids. The tate brothers didn't have that, Tristan was stacking shelves in a Luton boots shop 10 years ago. I'd say the tate brothers are more grounded as they have actually lived and struggled in life.
Cheers to the Anti-Tate - can't believe how many people have been suckered in by him and his 'escape the Matrix' crap - which is the most in the 'Matrix' thing I think I've heard.
@@samoday2992 not sure if you're a fan of Andrews but can I ask does it bother you that he's either homosexual or bisexual? I'm referring to the video he made saying he'd rather sleep with Megan fox if she had a penis rather than an ugly female, the sheer fact its a possibility to him by definition makes him homosexual or bisexual. Just wondering does that effect his supporter's support of him?
It’s to some extent a pretty good analogy though. Take the pandemic for example, with how the media censored one side of the argument to do with vaccines, lockdowns etc they created a false reality around the world. Andrews niche is he refers to this false reality as the matrix because if you have seen the film it makes sense.
Mr Theroux reminds me of a therapist in his interview style. He gives people permission to be who they are but still asks the right questions when he doesn't understand their choices.
Every one has pride,it just manifests in different ways,I know a person who came across as humble, he always wore old out of date clothes and was never really had anything nice,but I noticed after a while by things he said and did he was just proud to be humble !
I saw a quote recently that said similar, from a late supreme justice of America. She said "fight for good, but do it in a way that people want to do it with you"
Louis is just absolutely brilliant! It's really refreshing seeing an interviewer "shhh" and let the interviewee speak. You'll notice that when they spot talking and interrupting other stories and information comes out! Well done CEO 👏
I had the same watch as Louis for years. The strap broke, I tied it to the inside of my tent in 2008 and every year I go camping and the alarm still goes off. Amazing little things. Louis I’ve loved you since the beginning of your career. Keep being you, that’s why we adore you ❤
@@dejuren1367 we don’t have a birth time for Louis so can’t be specific but he has a very interesting chart. A born investigator drawn to mysterious and unsavoury characters. Maybe I should record a show on him!
I bought my Casio wristwatch at a store in Port Moresby in September 1983. The strap was useless, but I found a way round that by using a rucksack strap. As of January 2023, both are doing fine.
Owning your own production company can really destroy the pure joy of what you do in the creative space, you begin to become more focused on sales, networking and targets, business is sole destroying if you have no interest in business, I know exactly the situation Louis is in, sure you don't own your work but conversely your work doesn't own you
Andrew Tate is someone who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. His sense of self worth is wedded to material possession and a tough-guy persona, which are both as shallow and meaningless as each other. And now we're uncovering more about the shady details behind Tate's success, it makes him even more abhorrent. The men who idolise him tend to be emotionally insecure and volatile.
Yeah I see the point you're making and I have made similar. The more I see of him though, the more I think some of it is a persona and to get people talking. He does make a lot of valid criticisms and constructive arguments. As for those who listen to him, I believe them to be young and in search of an answer to their crippling nihilism. And you can't lay the generation of nihilists at the feet of Andrew Tate
@@dylanmurphy9389 he probably would in a slow intellectual way and Tate is actually a pretty smart guy so he would just argue the point to him. It would be a pretty great interaction. I like both of them and dislike certain things about both of them. Louis has some good content over the years and Tate is hilarious but they can both be obnoxious in their opinon. Saying Louis is “a real man” is the cringiest gayest shit I ever heard though. First of all, no, haha.
@@dylanmurphy9389 He wouldn't tell a neo nazi family that was threatening him whether he was jewish or not when they asked him... he's damn sure gonna say this to Tate.
Diary of a CEO you are a good listener and I enjoy watching your hosting talents, you put your guests at ease and you encourage them to talk fluently about themselves, bringing out the intellectual best in each one of your guests, thank you ❤
My watch has also been self repaired for about 4 years and I don't care as it tells the time and is fine - apart from the strap that I've mended with a mini hairband. Totally with you Louis
My wife bought me a new watch for my birthday in November - a Casio. I'd worn my previous one - a Citizen - for 26 years and replaced the strap multiple times. Just like Louis, I don't need or want flash things.
I stopped wearing a watch years ago, when mine broke. There are so many clocks around (on the radio, appliances, in public and on the shattered screen of my mobile phone) that I found I didn't even need one attached to me anymore.
Louis is from a wealthy background and was privately educated at a school where half of the students end up at Oxford or Cambridge. When you come from this kind of background, I think you’re less likely to strive for material possessions for the purpose of showing them off than if you’ve grown up poor. It’s unlikely to impress your peers that are also wealthy. More likely to have academic goals or seek power in one way or another.
If I could have a coffee with anyone or live with them for a week Louis Theroux would be on that list. What a legend. Nice guy. Genuine guy. Curious guy. He must be protected with all we have and respect throughout history.
I get Louis point. However, I would argue that, Louis himself went to a posh public school in the centre of Westminster and subsequently went to one of the poshest and earliest university in the world. So I think for Louis, showing off was never really needed as it was assumed you were monied (or at least your parents prioritise spending loads of money on education). And also in the posh public schools system, being flashy like that is not a thing. In fact it’s looked down upon in those social circles. Whereas if I have money and it’s brand new and all the things I own are also shiny and brand new. It might be a bit unfair saying statements like ‘showing off’. We do not all get the same utility out of money. Some people own flashy things because of plethora reasons. Some is eternal (witting or unwitting) validation. For some is to open a few doors/opportunities. For some it’s to enjoy a bit of your success. Especially first generation real wealth. Point is, if you always had money or at least never went without, you wouldn’t get some of the emotions and reasons people show off. But I still get your point.
That's a good point on showing off wealth. Also I think the problem with Tate isn't his materialistic views, but his misogynist views, spewing hate and overall (maybe criminal) activity.
I love how English he is😂 brilliant person. Edit: I just wanted to add how much I love this podcast FINALLY a podcast with people who aren't just making fart jokes, conspiracy theories or some redpillok nonsense, but actual substance with real conversation about things that really connect with people. Not saying you can't do those things, but one must admit many podcasts are terrible right now.
My husband & I run 2 businesses, one in food & the other in maintenance-We don’t own a flashy car or expensive jewelry either. I’m wearing the same ring 💍 he proposed to me with 10yrs ago. And I love it. We bought a new home but it’s a cozy rancher with some surrounding land. Not a mansion. IMO, anyone who feels the need to fill their lives with materialistic things, doesn’t know the value of love, friendship, family or happiness. Things don’t fill the void, a good happy life does👍🏼🫶🏼
I love Louis Theroux, not in a stalkery fan way, am too lazy for that kind of thing lol but he is an amazing interviewer, could listen to him for hours! Imagine a convo betweek Louis Theroux and Terence McKenna!
Theroux would be fantastic interviewing one of the Royal Family. That would be a breath of fresh air and just like the William walks podcast it would amazing! Still waiting for the Palace to release that one on RUclips.
I think a real, balanced man has both some of the properties of Andrew and Louis. I'm very sorry to hurt some readers, but a man that can't fight misses a very important part of manhood, same for not being able to fix things. All women and men really like these properties, especially when you're not the cliché macho guy, ALL women! Don't believe me? Then i know what kind of person you are.
@@bruiladebeen5671 physical fights in life are rare, most fights are mental and require self-confidence and mental toughness. Being physically strong, while nice, is actually (for most people) not near the top of the list of desirable characteristics for a partner
@@mysteriousbusiness Although physical fights are rare, the situations where it might happen aren't, especially for weak looking men. In night life or specific neighbourhoods there's always a risk of ending up in a fight or being robbed. And yes, being mentally strong will prevent most fights, but being physically as well will keep you and your friends/partner out of fear. I didn't say it's in the top list for desirable characteristics for a partner, but know from experience that is surely does for sexual attraction. There's overlap in desirable characteristics and being strong fits the characteristics of the ideal man. I'm not bashing weak men, just trying to stimulate health and strength.
I know what you mean. Louis is my favourite kind of funny, naturally effortlessly funny but he doesn’t have the nature or drive of a comedian. It’s a very specific personality.
This guy has done some fabulous documentaries. He started off doing just whacky, weird stuff, but got a lot more serious and . . . . well, heavy. One of the best.
It’s great that Louis is so in tune with who he is as a journalist. Like what he said about interviewing politicians is so accurate. When people interview politicians they’re interviewing someone who keeps their cards close to their chest, so they’re always looking for that “gotcha!” Moment. Which is fair, because we want to know what the politicians are really thinking. But with Louis who just wants to asks questions and understand, that lends itself to the radicals with loud views very easily
But he speaks with no regard of someone liking him or being offended, and that's very very rare now. And exposing lies, that's not being tolerated I see and that's so dangerous.
I LOVE Louis Theroux. Ive been watching his documentaries since I was 16 years old(51 now) Love his dry slightly sarcastic humour... intelligent and honest, a refreshing change from a lot of 'celebs'.
The nicest rich guys are the ones where you can't instantly tell that they're rich. Yes, they might be wearing nice clothes and a nice watch, but they choose understated elegance instead of ostentatious displays of wealth.
The irony or Andrew Tates dogma about the materialism of women and a change in society, is that his persona and value system is what attracts those aspects of society into his sphere. Having a persona built around materialism naturally attracts a following and peer group who is those values. So he harvests what’s he personally sows
Andrew Tate grew up in a coucil estate in Luton, from what I can guess, Louis Theroux grew up in a middle class area of London with the North London middle class intelligencia. People from that background can get their feeling of status from this, or having a career in the arts or education. People always want to display their status, whether its a Bugati, or that fact your a University Lecturer and live in Muswell Hill!.
That’s so insulting to people from that background. People are different, Tate is uniquely ostentatious. Lots of rich people who came from nothing are not overly flashy. It’s like you are saying they are incapable of being humble and not needing validation from strangers. If someone wants to be flashy then live and let live. Louis even says at one point in this video that he is also flawed in taking pride of his lack of materialism.
Louis talking with tate be pointless. Tate never change his views. Coz Andrew Tate is trying to honour his father and live the life he believes his deceased father be proud of
Lots of triggered Tate fangirls in the comments already, missing the nuance in Louis's perspective. He clearly rejects the idea of being Anti-Tate saying there is a danger in ostentatious humility.
Louis Theroux is jealous of Andrew Tate rather than being pissed at the BBC for using his talent and now his relevance is lost with time. Meanwhile Top G smokes a fat cigar helping young men surpass Louis failures. Life is work, consume, death... Money and Power is the best bet for a happy life. Louis will die with money in the bank but wonder why he never enjoyed it while he was young.
How have I not seen this channel before? Instant sub! Two people I'd love to have a chat and a cup of tea with. It's refreshing to hear Louis and his 'anti flash' sentiments, because bling isn't my thing either.

Nice interview, but stop caring about the PC words so much, don't let the PC police shape who you are.
PC is two different things.
1. Political Correctness
2. Police Constable.
blue pilled beta male wearing a blue shirt is so appropriate
Politically correct aka not abusing others 😂 yeah forget that ay 😂😂😂
@@nik-ev3eh he is both
The irony really is that Louis is actually more masculine than Tate. He’s confident, self aware and successful with excellent social skills. He’s also humble and has achieved a level of mastery in his field. All while being genuine and not having to be manipulative
exactly, how about we don't lionise unhinged men with personality disorders who, instead of sorting out a lifetime of traumas, have declared war on humanity (and women in particular).
Your definition of masculinity sounds very feminine, do you happen to be a woman? Women don't define what men are or should be unfortunately for you
lol irony only for you. people in majority would disagree with you.
@@mikezero7422no, sad weird lonely male tate fans would disagree.
In all honesty most of the intelligent and aspirational young women I know despise Tate and adore Theorux. The latter is a far better role model.
@@mikezero7422 that’s cool, I guess it depends on the individuals view of masculinity. All the things i listed are masculine traits.
A Theroux documentary about the Tate brothers and their following would be so epic and seems like something Theroux would actually do!
Great shout. As Louis says, "Win/Win".
That would be epic…!
Would love that
Except Louis would want all access and has a habit of finding guests as criminals
I wouldn’t want to see Tate get the publicity.
As a therapist I have always thought Louis Theroux would make an excellent therapist. His ability to sit with people who often might hold ‘contemptible views’ and listen to them in a neutral way whilst remaining genuine is quite a skill.
Thanks for confirming that therapists just sit there and hide their judgement

Anyone who even remotely "BELIEVES" that THEY "understand" psycho-babble "therapy" is incredibly mind-controlled and delusional. And, I say that being a retired 48-yr. Healthcare Worker.
I was about to say the same thing, he has a way of disarming people because he isn’t confrontational so whoever he is speaking to doesn’t immediately get defensive. You will find most people will tell everything you need to know if you give them the opportunity to do so.
Louis is bordering on national treasure territory. A genuinely interesting and intellectual person who has carved out a brilliant niche for himself.
Yes. He is a very relatable good guy.
totally agree ,,well said @@cdawtry
Defo, he da best!!
Imo he's acheived national treasure. He's been doing great for years
He should be knighted for all his contributions. If Tony Robinson is…
Louis is probably the one person I would trust to make a genuinely balanced and fair documentary about the Tate brothers. His super skill is not usually in using snaky journalistic tactics of trying to trap or trick interviewees...but rather in asking them the best questions to reveal that person's genuine true self. A very rare skill indeed.
nah
Theroux is not balanced anymore though
@@brianmeen2158 example?

Sadly, Louis has become very one sided politically and culturally and these perspectives have increasingly been on public display over the years. He has very middle-class views that are representative of the wealthy bubble he lives in. Very progressive, pro-censorship, pro status-quo. Hence why this video segment could be viewed as pretty ironic.

@@benbeasant3443 as you do with andrew tate
"Austentatious humility is its own poison" is such a good bit of introspection from Louis. There are people who definitely use the "I'm not like other rich people" statement as a way to make themselves feel special. Then there are others who genuinely don't care. I imagine that Louis is the latter, but it must be a bit of a tightrope once you become aware of it.
I believe it’s ostentatious, but a strikingly true statement
It's usually guys who took a longer time to get rich.
I picked up on that. The ego can work on both ends of any spectrum. Similar to people who have the moral high ground on everyone else. It's not good being a bad person. But it's also not good telling everybody how much of a good person you are either. Egoism at its finest. One of the things I love about Louis is that he is very conscious and happy to be self-critical.
"Sell all your possessions and follow me" Humility and poverty are two of the highest virtues in western culture - and rightly so.
You guys all realise he was best mates with Jimmy Savile and had to do a documentary on himself just to try to look impassive.... THAT'S why he's parted from BBC.

The real tate is a highly intelligent, motivated and drive , cold and calculating individual. The houses cars and other toys are just that, toys. He won’t really care about them and would be the same person if he lost it all and was in a flat in Luton again (he’d just rebuild) but that doesn’t mean he won’t use it for views - he’s conning everyone

@africaperspecta1433Just curious here, but I have a hypothetical.
Say a person is poor, nice and humble their whole lives and works hard to move up in “class”.
Is this person no longer capable of being humble? If not, then what is it that caused them not to be humble? Is it the change in “class”, the success, or some other measure that I can’t see?
@africaperspecta1433 Is reading comprehension difficult. I said here’s an hypothetical. I’m not talking about LT.

I've watched videos of Tate boasting about how he has scammed thousands of men out of millions of dollars. He is no more than a bottom feeding scumbag that deserves the prison time hopefully coming his way. Louis Thereoux on the other hand is a model on integrity. A real man.
He is sneaky and manipulate in his interviewing techniques although he is intelligent and probability ethical.
Theroux is a thousand times more of a man than Tate could ever dream of being.
Anyone who identifies as a man is a man. It's that simple really. Stop spreading toxic masculinity
Absolutely! Completely agree 👍
I think ‘grown-up’ or ‘father material’ are good indicators. So many guys associate masculinity with being an aggressive hyper-teen
Also not a human trafficker.
Theroux is hyper human
Difference is Louis likes to watch but Tate likes to be watched. Louis is an anthropologist, like a hunter in a hide, he wants to blend in and observe humans behaving without consideration for his presence. This is a more substantial way to go through life. If you always demand the room to notice you and respond to you then every room becomes the same. You live in a bubble and become more and more locked away in your ivory tower. Someone curious like Louis would HATE that reality. To observe others you need them to forget you are there.
No you can still observe others even while having everyone aware you are there, you just need to know how to do it
Louis wouldn’t be in this field if he didn’t like being watched
Well put
I love Louis. But most people wouldn’t want be around the disturbing people and groups he interviews. So yours is not a fair analogy.
It’s not like he’s just someone observing people from a park bench or in the corner of a room at an average function.
@@NoRUclipsName1 but therein lies the uniqueness of Louis interviews. Most of us have been in the company of people with deeply unpleasant views (on race, religion, etc) and although we look to distance ourselves from those people wonder what lies behind their ways of thinking/ways they act.
I remember being in a pub once just before a football match (we were all supporting the same team) and a guy gets up on a table and starts singing a very racist and homophobic song about a player and although no one joined in with him, no one heckled him or turned their backs either. I always wondered what makes a person behave like that. Louis skill is being able to give us a window into the minds of people like that.
Louis, as always the voice of intelligence and sanity in a sometimes murky world
@Tommy Bronze
You should read 'In Plain Sight: The Life and Lies of Jimmy Saville' by Dan Davis.
The original hardback is a doorstopper, weighing in at least my or so. But utter fascinating.
The man who wrote it didn't spend a few weeks with him, but more like over a year. And this is the scary part: Dan isn't exactly a chump, either.
But here's the thing about genuine psychopathy, or, as the DSM-V describes it, Antisocial Personality Disorder: they tightly wrap themselves within multiple layers, to the point all you see is what they want you to see.
In Saville's case, as described in the book, he could fool almost everyone as this charming, affable, avuncular, eccentric, personality. Heck, for some reason I can't recall, but which is covered in that book, he was buried with a Green Beret, as the Royal Marines made him a Honorary Commando. A maternal cousin of mine was an actual Enlisted Commando himself, and one of the smartest people I know. How the hell did Saville pass the sniff test on that one, nobody knows.
Then there's the whole Broadmore thing, where he was practically given the keys to the entire hospital. As you very well know, that place is filled to the rooftops with the most mentally ill, and dangerous people, in England, if not the whole of the UK. Yet, he was given free lodgings there by some of the foremost Forensic Psychologists, and Psychiatrists in the nation.
My point being is that Saville built such an elaborate façade, behind which lay a pathological liar, to the point that Dan, after Saville's death, had to do a complete re-evaluation of not only all his interview notes, but spends a considerable amount of time into _really_ digging into that man's past, only to discover a labyrinth of mirrors, some more distorted than others, and some dark mirrors, which reflected little light at all.
But, as Dan writes, the truly worse thing was the construct that Jimmy Saville built around himself was almost so air-tight, that he fooled an entire nation as this eccentric guy, that everyone loved, because of his extrovert personality.
I myself have seen that on a personal scale. My dad was, in his lifetime, not only a respected driver on the District Line, but, later, a postman whom helped, in little ways, the elderly people on his route. He even developed a casual acquaintance with William Woollard.
What no-one would ever expect was he began sexually abusing my younger, severely disabled, sister and I, when I was 14; once a fortnight for years. And he was violent with it ...
But he wasn't the real monster. That was was our mum, whom not only gaslight me into pretending it wasn't happening, but fooled everyone around her as being this loving parent, especially of a disabled child. But behind the front door, she was everything but. I felt like I was raising my sister more than she was in ways that no 15yr old had had to with any younger sister.
When I told my therapist what I had to do for my sister - which I will spare you the details - she was shocked, and angry for me. In her 30+ years of clinical experience, she has never heard a more dysfunctional person than my mum. So when, finally, dad was given a nine year prison sentence, my therapist said my mum should've recieved at least half of that, for what she didn't do, as much as what she did do. And yet, in the church she belonged to, she was held up as this suffering person ... who would visit my dad on a regular basis, whilst still locked up ... those same church Elders would also take me to see him, too, despite knowing full well what he had done ...
Hence that book resonated with me, as I know what evil in disguise looks like ...
I don't blame Louis one bit. For if my dad and mum where able to fool people close to them of their true nature, then Saville easily got away with deceiving an entire nation, except for whom I suspect knows child sexual abuse on a personal level ...
... for even after my mum's death, her side of her family has disowned me ... for just telling the truth, and shattering their hagiography of her, which they still believe to be true. No apologies ... just set adrift. And, now that my dad is also dead, I have scant support from even my aunt, his younger sister, and nothing from his older brother ...
Insight into evil, which few genuinely have, without experience, find it hard to understand those whom do. In my case, I'm 48, and aside from my physical disabilities, those seven years of physical and sexual abuse has left me a pretty broken man that is only now able to rebuild something out of ruins, abet I will never be employable again ...
In short, both Louis and Dan where deceived by an evil that neither could possibly understand as it went far beyond what the human mind can conceptually perceive ...
... but only those touched by it, can. In my case, my insight has come with a cost far too high to pay back ...
@@tommybronze3451 Well the entire British public was taken in by Saville.
Most British parents were dying to get their kids to meet old Jimmy for a Jim'll fix it medal. Theroux' interview was the first time many actually noticed Saville was a bit odd as Theroux's disarming style enabled someone who was incredibly good at hiding his dark side to show it for moments. I remember watching it and thinking, my god this guy is actually mental.
In hindsight, obviously _everyone_ knew he was a wrong ' un all along.
In reality, almost no one did at the time apart from his victims and some people close to him. Saville was very skilled at deceiving people.
He just spoke about himself and the interviewer. Not much on Tate in this video at all. Load of rubbish.
@nigelft I can't see the comment you replied to. It seems to have been deleted.
But I'll say this: by the time Theroux interviewed Savile, Savile had years of allegations under his belt.
It wasn't just a meet up and chat. And he was charmed rather than alerted. What excuse does an investigative interviewer like Theroux have to turn up unprepared for such a big work event?
Same standards I have for Candace Owens covering for Tate. She cannot use the "I didn't know" defence in her line of work.
How can we, the public, know the huge possibility of evil, but they don't have a clue?
People like Theroux and Attenborough keep public art alive. They're so much more important than anyone that gets greedy. They keep the hope alive.
They absolutely do- well said 🙂
Attenborough is a posh boy world economic forum shill.
He is just reading a script.
Attenborough is a shell of what he once was. Zero respect for anything he's made in the past 10 years. He's just another voice of the globalists.

I love that even in his most awkward and goofiness, Louis is not afraid to be himself and embrace who he is instead of building a wall of masquerades around him to project something he is not. Nobody is perfect, we all are flawed....and very different, but the closest we can come to reaching some kind of nirvana through authenticity is just by being who we want to be, and finding happiness in that mold
I love it❤️
Completely agree
I can’t help but feel that Louis inner confidence is, in part, enabled by his background of immense privilege which has imparted a foundation of self assurance and security. Still a deeply admirable outlook though.
Unfortunately that isn't possible for all people
My authentic self is cynical and pessimistic. I am well aware other people don't like that so I have to masquerade it or risk being alone
Louis Theroux has to be one of the most important reporters/social commentators of our era.
Having watched his docs for what must be over 20 years ( ie : Eugene N. Terre Blanche) one had always thought that his method of interviewing was disingenuous and somewhat cynical, whilst effectively outing ne’er do wells .
Listening to him being interviewed actually establishes his wonderful fascination with people,his lack of judging offensive characters (even though he points us in the right direction) and leaves us grateful of his genuine character .
I am so happy that this slightly eccentric and non-mainstream journalist is out there for all of us.
I also thought that his interviewer , Steven Bartlett was superb .A rising star I hope.
Such a pleasure to listen to an interview where people listen to each other.
Have an intelligent point to put across.
And aren’t swamped by their own egos.
Thank you.
And especially , thank you Louis for making us more aware on a personal level for so many of this world’s injustices.

I love this man. Very intelligent, humble, and spot on. I listened to Andrew Tate to make up my own mind and it didn’t take long at all for me to be absolutely repulsed. He is indeed very arrogant and materialistic with no depth to his personality and a total turn off. Not to mention his terrible views on women which just makes me sad for him more than anything.
Except he's not. That's the catch. Women claim they are turned off by him, but in reality you are biologically wired to be into him. It's easy to say you're not into him (because he calls women out regularly), when there's no chance of being with him. But if he was in your town and showed interest, you'd very quickly invent ways to justify why you're into him.
He's brash and arrogant. He boasts about material possessions such as cars. A lot is tongue in cheek, but a lot is real arrogance. Women are into that. Women will bypass all sort of things because deep down they are biologically wired to be attracted to dominant men. That's the biggest message we can get from him. Women get mad at him, but that's what they are attracted to.
In this modern crisis when men are becoming more feminine, and women are becoming more masculine, he does more good than bad. If we strip down the cars, bravado, and bullshit, he has some solid messages, but more important is the unintended message he provides.
Without the money no woman would go near him or would leave very quickly. He knows this too which is where the insecurity comes from, the only thing anyone could be interested in is his money so no wonder he attracts certain types of people and has the experience and views he has.
From what I've seen Andrew and Tristan both make a lot of great points and give lots of great life advice, not to mention how hilarious they can be sometimes. Would you mind telling me what videos you saw that lead you to your conclusion?
Louis skill is shining a light, not making a judgment. He has empathy for all and let's them speak. He's never there to win an argument: that's his beauty.
Passive aggressive twat, who pretends to have no judgment, while his body language spells utter disgust.
Haven’t laughed out loud from podcasts in a long time. The part of “I’ve got 2 straps, I’m not bragging” 🤣
Because Louis is the the way he is, it makes me trust him more. He has nothing to promote, no agenda, he just wants to impart information to others. I love how simple his life is, just very normal and the lack of flash makes him more reliable to us ordinary folks

@@samoday2992 not sure if you're a fan of Andrews but can I ask does it bother you that he's either homosexual or bisexual? I'm referring to the video he made saying he'd rather sleep with Megan fox if she had a penis rather than an ugly female, the sheer fact its a possibility to him by definition makes him homosexual or bisexual. Just wondering does that effect his supporter's support of him?
It’s to some extent a pretty good analogy though. Take the pandemic for example, with how the media censored one side of the argument to do with vaccines, lockdowns etc they created a false reality around the world. Andrews niche is he refers to this false reality as the matrix because if you have seen the film it makes sense.
Mr Theroux reminds me of a therapist in his interview style. He gives people permission to be who they are but still asks the right questions when he doesn't understand their choices.
Every one has pride,it just manifests in different ways,I know a person who came across as humble, he always wore old out of date clothes and was never really had anything nice,but I noticed after a while by things he said and did he was just proud to be humble !

@@Drenwickification 😉AH! #Onpoint mate!!
👊☮ Tc n... Happy New Year ! *🥂✨
Owning your own production company can really destroy the pure joy of what you do in the creative space, you begin to become more focused on sales, networking and targets, business is sole destroying if you have no interest in business, I know exactly the situation Louis is in, sure you don't own your work but conversely your work doesn't own you
I have always found Louis docos very interesting and informative he's not afraid to talk about the hard topics, well said Louis.
I love Louis more after having seen this. Bloody legend 👏
He’s a diamond. He really is!
Andrew Tate is someone who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. His sense of self worth is wedded to material possession and a tough-guy persona, which are both as shallow and meaningless as each other. And now we're uncovering more about the shady details behind Tate's success, it makes him even more abhorrent.
The men who idolise him tend to be emotionally insecure and volatile.
How is it a persona if he’s genuinely tough
Simp
@@edjohnson8017 lollll genuinely tough? like he can box and has a 6pac? hahahaha
Hes a world champion in kickboxing though?
Yeah I see the point you're making and I have made similar. The more I see of him though, the more I think some of it is a persona and to get people talking. He does make a lot of valid criticisms and constructive arguments. As for those who listen to him, I believe them to be young and in search of an answer to their crippling nihilism. And you can't lay the generation of nihilists at the feet of Andrew Tate
Louis is a real man! So humble, intelligent and compassionate. The opposite of Andrew Tate.
Tate would
Fuck him up in a fight, “real man” haha😂
He’s a nerd that wouldn’t say any of this to Andrews face 😂
@@dylanmurphy9389 so just confirming Tate is a violent animal then?
@@dylanmurphy9389 he probably would in a slow intellectual way and Tate is actually a pretty smart guy so he would just argue the point to him. It would be a pretty great interaction. I like both of them and dislike certain things about both of them. Louis has some good content over the years and Tate is hilarious but they can both be obnoxious in their opinon. Saying Louis is “a real man” is the cringiest gayest shit I ever heard though. First of all, no, haha.
@@dylanmurphy9389 He wouldn't tell a neo nazi family that was threatening him whether he was jewish or not when they asked him... he's damn sure gonna say this to Tate.
Louis is the real top G here. He's such a intelligent man and honestly he would win ANY debate against tait.
God, I love Louis Theroux....I could listen to him all day....he's such a nice guy. ❤️
In a word … grounded and humble and knows what’s important and not important . 👍
I like Louis Theroux. One of the best journalists from the UK. They are both right, good journalism is having the need to understand.
Diary of a CEO you are a good listener and I enjoy watching your hosting talents, you put your guests at ease and you encourage them to talk fluently about themselves, bringing out the intellectual best in each one of your guests, thank you ❤
My watch has also been self repaired for about 4 years and I don't care as it tells the time and is fine - apart from the strap that I've mended with a mini hairband. Totally with you Louis
My wife bought me a new watch for my birthday in November - a Casio. I'd worn my previous one - a Citizen - for 26 years and replaced the strap multiple times. Just like Louis, I don't need or want flash things.
I stopped wearing a watch years ago, when mine broke. There are so many clocks around (on the radio, appliances, in public and on the shattered screen of my mobile phone) that I found I didn't even need one attached to me anymore.
Louis comes from money, leads to different goals in life
What do you mean?
Louis is from a wealthy background and was privately educated at a school where half of the students end up at Oxford or Cambridge. When you come from this kind of background, I think you’re less likely to strive for material possessions for the purpose of showing them off than if you’ve grown up poor. It’s unlikely to impress your peers that are also wealthy. More likely to have academic goals or seek power in one way or another.
@@bengraham878 that actually gives interesting context to his personal views. Although I do still agree with him
@@BlackiJ11 I don’t for good reason
Best comment!
If I could have a coffee with anyone or live with them for a week Louis Theroux would be on that list. What a legend. Nice guy. Genuine guy. Curious guy. He must be protected with all we have and respect throughout history.
Agreed he's a sharp man humanity needs people like him more now than ever.
Louis is a gentleman through and through, a dying breed.
I get Louis point. However, I would argue that, Louis himself went to a posh public school in the centre of Westminster and subsequently went to one of the poshest and earliest university in the world.
So I think for Louis, showing off was never really needed as it was assumed you were monied (or at least your parents prioritise spending loads of money on education). And also in the posh public schools system, being flashy like that is not a thing. In fact it’s looked down upon in those social circles.
Whereas if I have money and it’s brand new and all the things I own are also shiny and brand new.
It might be a bit unfair saying statements like ‘showing off’.
We do not all get the same utility out of money. Some people own flashy things because of plethora reasons. Some is eternal (witting or unwitting) validation. For some is to open a few doors/opportunities. For some it’s to enjoy a bit of your success. Especially first generation real wealth.
Point is, if you always had money or at least never went without, you wouldn’t get some of the emotions and reasons people show off. But I still get your point.
True. I also think Tate shows off because thats his brand. Its part of his business. He said it himself "Attention is the real currency"
That's a good point on showing off wealth. Also I think the problem with Tate isn't his materialistic views, but his misogynist views, spewing hate and overall (maybe criminal) activity.
so he should be more, not less interested in bling stuff - think about your argument
@@kawhi-theking_of_the_north3536 no he's a tosser fullstop
You've gotta love Louis. 'I've got 2 casio', I'm not being flash'.😂 what an inspiration. 👍
Just a sound sensible humble chap, always love his shows
I love how English he is😂 brilliant person.
Edit: I just wanted to add how much I love this podcast FINALLY a podcast with people who aren't just making fart jokes, conspiracy theories or some redpillok nonsense, but actual substance with real conversation about things that really connect with people. Not saying you can't do those things, but one must admit many podcasts are terrible right now.
Joe Rogan: *feels called out*
Don't tell that to Adam Buxton
Pretty good, despite his dad being Anerican.
I love him despite it
My husband & I run 2 businesses, one in food & the other in maintenance-We don’t own a flashy car or expensive jewelry either. I’m wearing the same ring 💍 he proposed to me with 10yrs ago. And I love it. We bought a new home but it’s a cozy rancher with some surrounding land. Not a mansion. IMO, anyone who feels the need to fill their lives with materialistic things, doesn’t know the value of love, friendship, family or happiness. Things don’t fill the void, a good happy life does👍🏼🫶🏼
I love Louis Theroux, not in a stalkery fan way, am too lazy for that kind of thing lol but he is an amazing interviewer, could listen to him for hours! Imagine a convo betweek Louis Theroux and Terence McKenna!
And wouldn't it just be a bit uncool to be of the stalker variety?
@@RM-ti8nf Probably but still too lazy regardless! 😂
Love listening to Louis on any topic. He is intelligent and forthright.
Louie has clearly concluded the opinion I’ve been slowly building up about tate over the months now, breath of fresh air bravo! 👏
God tier man wearing a god tier watch
Theroux would be fantastic interviewing one of the Royal Family. That would be a breath of fresh air and just like the William walks podcast it would amazing! Still waiting for the Palace to release that one on RUclips.
Two of my favourite human beings, both gentlemen! Thank you
God, you and your regular listeners really needed to hear this. I hope you learned something.
Louis, you are wonderful! Takes real courage to transcend ones petty little ego the way you do in these days self infatuation.
Thank you. There are still real men in this world.
I think a real, balanced man has both some of the properties of Andrew and Louis. I'm very sorry to hurt some readers, but a man that can't fight misses a very important part of manhood, same for not being able to fix things. All women and men really like these properties, especially when you're not the cliché macho guy, ALL women! Don't believe me? Then i know what kind of person you are.
@@bruiladebeen5671 physical fights in life are rare, most fights are mental and require self-confidence and mental toughness. Being physically strong, while nice, is actually (for most people) not near the top of the list of desirable characteristics for a partner
...further to that, a LOT of men compensate for lack of confidence / bad personality with physical strength which is *very* unattractive
@@mysteriousbusiness Although physical fights are rare, the situations where it might happen aren't, especially for weak looking men. In night life or specific neighbourhoods there's always a risk of ending up in a fight or being robbed. And yes, being mentally strong will prevent most fights, but being physically as well will keep you and your friends/partner out of fear. I didn't say it's in the top list for desirable characteristics for a partner, but know from experience that is surely does for sexual attraction. There's overlap in desirable characteristics and being strong fits the characteristics of the ideal man. I'm not bashing weak men, just trying to stimulate health and strength.
@@bruiladebeen5671 thanks joe rogan
Louis strikes me as one of those guys who doesn’t realise how unbelievably funny he is. He would make a great comedian
I know what you mean. Louis is my favourite kind of funny, naturally effortlessly funny but he doesn’t have the nature or drive of a comedian. It’s a very specific personality.
@@suzimonkey345 no he isn’t
I totally enjoy listening to you Stevenbartlett, you have a lovely way about ya! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to what Louis had to say. Thank you.
In a world were boys want to be like Andrew Tate, be a Louis Theroux!
Tate's over the top act is part of his Business Model.
Love the turds who take the act and confusing it with him being a total idiot. He’s actually a decent human
Does that make it better to you?
So is rape.
How’s that Romanian jail food?
To attract attention deficit disorder boys, take their money and their time. I enjoy trolling the twits.
Just subscribed to this channel! Incredible content. Looking forward to doing a deep dive here. Thanks for uploading.
This guy has done some fabulous documentaries. He started off doing just whacky, weird stuff, but got a lot more serious and . . . . well, heavy.
One of the best.
It’s great that Louis is so in tune with who he is as a journalist. Like what he said about interviewing politicians is so accurate. When people interview politicians they’re interviewing someone who keeps their cards close to their chest, so they’re always looking for that “gotcha!” Moment. Which is fair, because we want to know what the politicians are really thinking. But with Louis who just wants to asks questions and understand, that lends itself to the radicals with loud views very easily
I'm the anti Tate too thank God!
Think I've watched every dpc Louis done he's a master at what he does honestly
I love Casio F91W's. Keep great time, are practically indestructible and are dirt cheap. He's right about the strap though.
The sense of superiority that comes from humility and the practice of parsimony should not be underestimated.
But he speaks with no regard of someone liking him or being offended, and that's very very rare now. And exposing lies, that's not being tolerated I see and that's so dangerous.
I love Lois - his non threatening style really gets his subjects to open up.
I LOVE Louis Theroux. Ive been watching his documentaries since I was 16 years old(51 now)
Love his dry slightly sarcastic humour... intelligent and honest, a refreshing change from a lot of 'celebs'.
The nicest rich guys are the ones where you can't instantly tell that they're rich. Yes, they might be wearing nice clothes and a nice watch, but they choose understated elegance instead of ostentatious displays of wealth.
The irony or Andrew Tates dogma about the materialism of women and a change in society, is that his persona and value system is what attracts those aspects of society into his sphere. Having a persona built around materialism naturally attracts a following and peer group who is those values. So he harvests what’s he personally sows
Louis is a real one
Real what?
a real man, a good man.
Not like Tate and his donkey followers who are making up for being pathetic.
@@zadebasil3033 Louis is great. I like him to. Andy is also cool
I really love louis Theroux. Such a sincere person. I love his style of documentary. Respect.
Andrew Tate grew up in a coucil estate in Luton, from what I can guess, Louis Theroux grew up in a middle class area of London with the North London middle class intelligencia. People from that background can get their feeling of status from this, or having a career in the arts or education. People always want to display their status, whether its a Bugati, or that fact your a University Lecturer and live in Muswell Hill!.
That’s so insulting to people from that background. People are different, Tate is uniquely ostentatious. Lots of rich people who came from nothing are not overly flashy. It’s like you are saying they are incapable of being humble and not needing validation from strangers.
If someone wants to be flashy then live and let live. Louis even says at one point in this video that he is also flawed in taking pride of his lack of materialism.
Honestly one of the most clueless comments I've read
Louis talking with tate be pointless. Tate never change his views. Coz Andrew Tate is trying to honour his father and live the life he believes his deceased father be proud of
The politics of resentment right there.
I just love Louis just the way he is
Louis Theroux is an absolute LEGEND!
Louis has a Proper trigger moment ‘I’ve had the watch 20 years and replaced the strap 3 times and the clock twice ‘ 😂😂😂😂
Two men speaking sense 👏
Having watched Louis for a couple of decades I’m wondering how rough the painting in his loft is- the man hasn’t aged or wrinkled one jot.
I love that. My favourite read and message. Thankyou Oscar.
Lots of triggered Tate fangirls in the comments already, missing the nuance in Louis's perspective. He clearly rejects the idea of being Anti-Tate saying there is a danger in ostentatious humility.
If you look like a geek then you must be a geek.
Louis Theroux is jealous of Andrew Tate rather than being pissed at the BBC for using his talent and now his relevance is lost with time. Meanwhile Top G smokes a fat cigar helping young men surpass Louis failures. Life is work, consume, death... Money and Power is the best bet for a happy life.
Louis will die with money in the bank but wonder why he never enjoyed it while he was young.
@@purplearmy. you obviously didnt watch the video or read my commemt...you are exactly the Tate fangirl i was referrimg to
I don't mind Tate, however his dick riding fans I cannot stand, they worship this man like a god.
Look at the description.
How have I not seen this channel before? Instant sub! Two people I'd love to have a chat and a cup of tea with. It's refreshing to hear Louis and his 'anti flash' sentiments, because bling isn't my thing either.
