FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

you know when I feel like I know that

0:02

somebody is a cheater it's when there's

0:04

an allegation of cheating but they say

0:07

oh I did not have an affair so according

0:12

to the dictionary an affair is actually

0:15

a longer term relationship with somebody

0:18

not just a fling and I feel like this is

0:22

a loophole where cheaters who have had

0:24

sex with people are able to say yeah

0:27

they say to themselves I had sex with

0:31

the person then it was great or whatever

0:32

but then publicly they tell people oh I

0:37

didn't have an affair and so even though

0:39

they know they cheated they tell the

0:42

world they did not have an affair

0:44

because they're playing the definitional

0:46

loophole that an affair is a

0:48

relationship and they feel like they

0:50

were just having sex so therefore

0:53

because they didn't have an affair they

0:56

could try to tell the world that no

0:57

they're not a scumbag cheater but we

1:00

have to be clear here the allegations

1:02

that Adam Levine is a cheater are just

1:05

that they're allegations and we have to

1:07

keep in mind that allegations could

1:10

ultimately be untrue even though in Adam

1:12

Levine's statement he does say the

1:14

phrase

1:15

Affair but no he did not have an affair

1:18

despite the allegations that are now

1:21

surfacing now I'm gonna give you a

1:24

summary of what is going on here and add

1:26

my personal life advice commentary as

1:28

somebody who's been married for nine

1:29

years and has two children seven and

1:32

four and a half don't forget the half

1:34

we're really important otherwise you

1:35

gotta piss off Max okay so I want to do

1:37

that because there are a lot of

1:39

triggered people on the internet that

1:40

are yelling and shouting and rightfully

1:43

so you know this is a little bit uh

1:44

dramatic uh but I I do think it's very

1:47

important to add some practical insight

1:49

and some practical life advice to this

1:51

so that way hopefully everybody can

1:52

learn from this and I'm going to use

1:53

myself as an example on this so some

1:55

background Adam Levine Maroon 5 singer

1:59

wife they've been married for eight

2:01

years she's a Victoria Secret Angel

2:03

obviously together they've got a lot

2:05

money Fame children family beautiful

2:08

home beautiful life hey sounds great

2:11

right I mean sure some people now call

2:13

Maroon 5 elevator music but you you know

2:16

I have to say it sounds like a pretty

2:18

nice setup for a happy life well there's

2:21

obviously a lot more to this because

2:23

something obviously broke because this

2:26

individual named Sumner Strow who's an

2:28

Instagram model allegedly she calls

2:30

herself an Instagram model uh says that

2:32

she had to come out with information and

2:35

the allegation that her and Adam Levine

2:37

had an affair for about a year within

2:39

the last year I was having an affair

2:41

with a man who's married to a Victoria's

2:43

Secret model at the time you know I was

2:46

young I was naive and I mean quite

2:50

frankly I feel exploited I wasn't in the

2:52

scene like I am now

2:54

um so I was definitely very easily

2:56

manipulated and the reason she was

2:58

coming out with that is because her

3:00

friend got screenshots because she sent

3:03

her friend those screenshots of her

3:06

basically having flirtatious

3:07

conversation conversations with Adam

3:09

Levine uh and some I imagine uh trophy

3:13

of how she had sex with Adam Levine

3:16

whatever and she wanted to get ahead of

3:19

her friend selling those screenshots to

3:22

a tabloid some friend or a creative

3:26

story to come out with this story for

3:28

yourself because see she that is similar

3:32

does say that she's new to LA but I'll

3:35

tell you even if you're new to La you

3:37

know if you break a big story like this

3:40

a big allegation against somebody who's

3:42

really got a lot more Fame than you it

3:45

brings a lot of attention to you it

3:47

brings a lot of hate to you but it could

3:48

also bring more people looking at your

3:50

Instagram profile and that is a way of

3:52

social media today now Sumner tried to

3:55

play this down by saying things like

3:57

well I was young the problem with that

4:00

is this was all happening within the

4:01

last year so you know you're 23 today

4:03

like what were you like 22 like I don't

4:05

know if that's the best excuse and I

4:07

don't know that the next best excuse

4:09

that she gives is really good either and

4:11

that's thing saying things like she

4:13

feels like she was manipulated exploited

4:15

because a she was new to LA and B Adam

4:19

Levine was using a verified account on

4:22

Instagram I have to say if you feel

4:24

manipulated by a blue check mark

4:27

my heart goes out to you because there

4:29

are bigger problems at play I only came

4:31

forward because I wanted to kill

4:33

whatever Story the Tabloid had the most

4:35

important part that I did definitely in

4:37

gloss over is the fact that I was under

4:40

the impression that their marriage was

4:41

over also he was jamming me straight

4:44

from his verified Instagram account I

4:46

didn't have any reason to further

4:48

question it but I now realized that that

4:50

was likely a manipulation tactic of his

4:52

you know just hiding in plain sight

4:54

nobody's hiding in plain sight and able

4:57

to manipulate people in my opinion or

4:58

should be able to because somebody has a

5:01

blue check mark and if that is true

5:02

maybe we need to start the trend expose

5:04

the blue check mark okay it sounds crazy

5:07

but now a lot of stress is being put on

5:11

Behati and to her children the family of

5:14

Adam Levine and they are the real

5:16

victims here not Sumner who had a

5:18

relationship likely a cheating

5:20

relationship and a sexual relationship

5:22

for a year and is now essentially

5:24

showing that off as a trophy to other

5:26

people certainly starting with her

5:27

friends but the real victim here and

5:30

this is why Sumner is getting a lot of

5:31

hate for potentially playing victimhood

5:33

the real victim here is bahati because

5:35

she is not only now pregnant with her

5:38

her third child but has to consider the

5:41

potential to go through a devastating

5:44

divorce or to stay with somebody who's a

5:47

cheater if indeed he is which obviously

5:49

at this point the internet is concluded

5:50

no he's a cheater Kevin don't even

5:52

suggest that he's not all right well

5:54

look here's the thing we're going to get

5:56

into some practical advice here but

5:58

there's some really funky things about

6:01

the story including a screenshot that

6:03

suggests Adam Levine asked for

6:06

permission from Sumner via a quote

6:10

serious question

6:12

that hey is it okay if he names his next

6:17

child if it's a boy Sumner spelled that

6:21

same way

6:22

s-u-m-n-e-r he said okay serious

6:24

question I'm having another baby and if

6:27

it's a boy I really uh want to name it

6:29

Sumner you okay with that dead serious

6:34

um

6:35

you know to me that just seems like

6:37

extremely inappropriate that would

6:39

almost be like me going to my wife and

6:42

saying hey can we name our next daughter

6:45

or our first daughter uh after my middle

6:48

school Crush except this is even worse

6:51

it's let's name our child after somebody

6:54

I've been

6:56

allegedly but likely doinking for the

6:59

last year that is really an ugly trophy

7:03

that is turning your child into a trophy

7:05

of your scandalous and undercover fling

7:09

quite dirty so there are some things

7:11

here that are pretty nasty in the story

7:13

and I think they can they actually help

7:16

make the situation quite viral a second

7:18

woman has come out she's a comedian uh

7:20

apparently she has screenshots showing

7:22

things like I'm obsessed with you uh and

7:25

her reply is like dude aren't you

7:26

married and his reply is like yeah but

7:29

it's a bit complicated stuff gets hard

7:32

and the vid thing didn't help I might

7:34

get away you know these things just

7:36

don't sound like they're from somebody

7:39

who has the correct intentions uh of

7:42

course assuming that these are indeed uh

7:44

from uh uh from from Adam Levine and

7:48

that that they're they're factual see

7:50

Aristotle and I'm a big Aristotelian you

7:52

know do the right thing when people

7:54

aren't even looking right that's very

7:55

important but Aaron Aristotle once said

7:57

it's the intention that makes the crime

7:59

see people make mistakes you know if if

8:02

you were right now teleported into a

8:04

room and you're a woman and there's a

8:07

there's a you know oiled up dude with a

8:09

six-pack and it's like hey here's some

8:12

wine or maybe you've already had

8:13

something to drink like let's go you

8:15

know that that is a situation where your

8:17

barriers are likely going to be very low

8:19

the same would be true in Reverse for a

8:22

guy you know you get teleported with

8:24

with a a model in a hotel room and

8:27

you're both naked and oiled up and

8:29

you've had alcohol your your barriers

8:31

are going to be very low to be able to

8:34

resist uh this this sort of Temptation

8:36

that's not to say you can't resist the

8:38

temptation and and everybody hopes that

8:41

they will be able to but your barriers

8:42

will be extremely low but again

8:44

Aristotle says it's the intention that

8:46

makes the crime and this is where

8:48

there's a difference between uh you know

8:51

a one-night mistake and a long-term

8:55

relation ship where you've clearly had

8:58

enough time to realize what you're doing

8:59

is wrong you've had enough time to try

9:02

to correct and remedy this situation but

9:05

you then only do once you're exposed

9:07

that's when you know in my opinion that

9:09

somebody really is more likely devious

9:11

and guilty than not because again the

9:14

intention makes the crime everybody

9:16

makes mistakes but the intention is

9:18

everything because intention and wrong

9:22

intentions lead to betrayal and a lack

9:25

of trust not only by your spouse and

9:27

your children but by others around you

9:30

whether it's in business or family or

9:32

otherwise and I think this is the most

9:34

devastating impact of somebody betraying

9:36

their family and really creates when we

9:40

can't say this enough that the biggest

9:41

victim here is bahati and everybody's

9:43

heart should go out to her and the

9:45

children especially given that she's

9:47

pregnant where you already have the

9:50

nightmares of pregnancy to go through

9:51

which are very terrible for some people

9:53

from not only nausea and morning

9:56

sickness but a massive hormone

9:59

imbalances that that make pregnancy

10:01

extremely stressful and in some cases

10:04

for people extremely painful

10:07

so terrible terrible timing for all of

10:09

this but uh you know ultimately the

10:11

truth tends to have a way of coming out

10:13

and oftentimes it comes out at a very

10:15

inconvenient time so what is my

10:17

practical advice for individuals in

10:20

relationships well my practical advice

10:22

here is uh it might sound cliche but

10:24

quite frankly it's communication

10:26

I have personally had feelings as well

10:30

of wanting to have sex with other women

10:33

I would have been extremely clear about

10:35

that to Laura and anytime I've gone

10:38

through those uh sort of phases of like

10:41

wow I I don't know why but I'm in this

10:43

phase right now where I have this

10:44

extreme urge uh to to have sex with

10:47

other women and and that could be

10:48

something that anybody could feel

10:50

whether they're a man or a woman about

10:52

another man or a woman and I think it's

10:54

very important to have that dialogue

10:56

with another person because you don't

10:58

want to act on those feelings and you

10:59

want to make sure you keep yourself away

11:00

from that Temptation now I've never

11:01

acted on those feelings uh as much as I

11:04

would have loved to in in life I've

11:06

never had add another sexual partner in

11:08

life I met Lauren when I was 16 years

11:11

old and she was 17 years old it was

11:13

scandalous but uh yeah I mean like I I

11:17

don't know what that's like uh and so

11:19

it's it's potentially even more tempting

11:21

uh for me but I don't put myself into a

11:24

dark alley because I don't want to get

11:25

mugged I don't put myself into

11:27

situations with other women because I I

11:30

don't want to betray Lauren and I don't

11:32

want to do what's wrong and and lose

11:35

that Aristotelian accredit Integrity

11:38

that that I feel I have so one of the

11:41

things that I found that's very useful

11:42

is when we have a problem with our

11:43

relationship I bring it up even if it

11:45

feels like it'd be difficult to bring up

11:47

you know it's very difficult to tell

11:48

your spouse that hey you have feelings

11:50

that you want to have sex with other

11:51

people but I actually think this is

11:53

extremely important because uh then then

11:56

you can you can walk through okay why uh

12:00

what's the goal what's missing what's

12:02

the feeling is it is it just lust is it

12:05

a desire for something different okay

12:06

can we do something different you know

12:09

what what can we do can we can we go on

12:12

a couples only vacation let's go to

12:14

Germany let's go to Italy let's get away

12:16

from the kids for a while uh what can we

12:18

do to get through this together not just

12:20

time wise but action-wise what can we do

12:22

differently uh and uh and I found

12:25

personally that that uh you know these

12:28

sort of feelings can come in in waves

12:30

where sometimes you're just like totally

12:33

uninterested you're you're busy and with

12:35

with other things and that's not even a

12:36

remote consideration and other times you

12:38

have this Amplified feeling of oh my

12:40

gosh like I'm vulnerable here right uh

12:42

and and I think having that that

12:43

discussion is is extremely clear uh so

12:46

that way you and your partner can work

12:48

on these situations uh together I

12:50

believe this is uh very very important

12:52

life advice it's worked very well for

12:54

Lauren and I it's never failed I hope it

12:56

never does fail uh and uh you know it

12:59

also certainly helps that uh if you keep

13:01

yourself away from Temptation it's very

13:03

hard to end up in that hotel room

13:05

because you can't get teleported like I

13:06

said in the situation anyway situation

13:09

sounds pretty crazy let me know what

13:10

your thoughts are in the comments down

13:12

below I know I'm a finance Channel and

13:13
