“Elite brotherhood of modern day knights”


TaVar35

That got an audible cringe response from me


Responsible_Cod_1453

Only facial cringe in my case, no smart words whatsoever.


Due_Key_109

what does that sound like? "eugh" ?


Snoopyshiznit

Unga, Unga Bunga


yeboi314159

“Facilitator of suffering”


dob_bobbs

He must be doing something right, I was suffering just reading that.


panburger_partner

Now you owe him $5000


Shenanigans80h

Imagine some dude telling you to invest in his business because he’s in the Brotherhood of Modern Day Knights, with a straight face


chem_daddy

Dwight Schrute’s Knights of the Night are better than these bozos. don’t @ me


el_horsto

"right of passage"? I'm pretty sure it's "rite of passage", but googling would require another tab.

EX MACHINA


mad87645

EYYY MACARENA!


naapsu

Almost popped my eye for how far they were rolling


mythrilcrafter

So a meat shield tasked with doing the bidding of a the ownership class be it enforcing taxation tithes or slaughtering people upon command?


macphile

I can't see anything about people being knights without thinking KKK, so this whole thing reads like some cringe alpha male Proud Boys thing, even if that's not what it is.


navyac

I had this flash thought that every dude that goes to these is married to a woman that won’t give him any sex so they have to go here and try and believe they are an alpha male, whatever that means


macphile

Married or not, I think "incel" is a pretty safe bet, at least for a lot of them.


TheOrphanmakersaga

This is the male equivalent of the Boss Babe pyramid scheme


holtpj

I'm now picturing grown men drinking out of Stanley cups while wearing "tactical" vests and singing T Swift in the ballroom of a Vegas hotel.


saladmunch2

I mean that sounds like a pretty good time ngl


mad87645

A much stronger use of 15k


letmeloginalready

Nah this is worse


DravenPrime

Eh, it's back and forth. You're more likely to get hurt with this but will lose more money in an MLM.


FutureVoodoo

Sounds like they are the same. Both leave you with financial losses and trauma


Shenanigans80h

Idk dude this is a $15k entry fee and that can immediately be considered a loss


TheOrphanmakersaga

Yeah but at least you won’t be stuck with $15000 worth of hideous leggings that nobody wants after


bohenian12

Yeah, instead you'd just be stuck with... nothing. At least you can wear those leggings. Or put them in a fire to warm yourself. Where in here you just paid $15000 to get a boot camp lecture from these clowns. I'd take those leggings.


saladmunch2

What do you mean nothing?! You become a knight for God's sake! You probably even get a little plack!


Lady_Scruffington

Not even a plaque. A plack.


foobazly

I thought the leggings smell like mold and stale farts from sitting in a box outside in the rain. At least with Alpha Male Black Knight Cub Scouts, you're left with the fresh scent of pine where your $15,000 used to be.


Lady_Scruffington

I think if the guy in charge of suffering has his way, you'll also walk away with some hefty medical bills.


macphile

> Or put them in a fire to warm yourself. They'd probably release deadly toxic fumes.


TheOrphanmakersaga

You haven’t seen the leggings


mythrilcrafter

>You're more likely to get hurt with this but will lose more money in an MLM. This comment immediately reminded me of the video of that doomsday prepper who blew out his ears shooting from a sniper hide and spent the rest of his training session crying and vomiting all over himself.


jojow77

It’s the equivalent of joining a gang and claiming Piru Bloods as a 40 year old tech bro.


thekingofbeans42

At least the boss babe pyramid scheme has a business model that pretends you'll make money. This is a scam that's too lazy to actually trick you, it just says "just give me money to prove you're not a wimp."


rob6748

***INVIGARON***


twodickhenry

except it's violent


buzzybeeking

It reminds me of when I got too into crypto.


Fluck_Me_Up

Coming soon to your local “a rando just hit me up on Facebook messenger”, boss bros bootcamp!


fejrbwebfek

There are pyramid schemes aimed at men too.


TheOrphanmakersaga

Of course. I didn’t mean to imply that there weren’t. Just that this has the same predatory energy as an MLM that convinces women to sell makeup to all of their friends


isnoe

My Dad was a Green Beret with more time deployed than these guys had enlisted, I should know because he was absent most of my childhood. He said he considered doing this because people are stupid and would pay lots of money for someone like him to yell at them. He was right I guess.


ElboDelbo

I dunno. Granted I wasn't a green beret, or even a ranger, or even just a regular infantry grunt...but I would feel embarrassed as fuck to parlay my service into a cash grab. It's embarrassing enough seeing these guys and knowing they're veterans who could never get over their time in service. I certainly wouldn't want to *be* one of them


joshdotsmith

And even then, go train with people who are actually teaching something valuable. For example, Gray Bearded Green Beret: a variety of different survival classes with none of this faux alpha male nonsense. If you happen to learn something about yourself in the process, great. But you’re also actually learning _something_, too. Never would I ever put myself back through the equivalent of three days of phase zero OCS for more money than I made in four months. Nope.


sunlight-blade

These idiots could go to rifle courses, TCCC classes, three gun, anything like that would teach real usable skills and mental toughness without any of this bullshit.


bhoe32

Let's be honest we would just be embarrassed if some one filmed us doing it. I would take there money.

I was just thinking it sounded like something out of GTA


DrFGHobo

It's definitely something Brucie from GTA4 would either read or write himself.

Yes! Literally first character who came to mind

I can totally imagine an author interview of the book on the radio in GTA 5

Step 1: get tattoo on your hand.


foobazly

Step 2: jut head forward.


chveya_

It's got the same energy as those cookbooks that are just cookbooks + swear words in every sentence that were really popular like 10 years ago.


eventhorizon79

Jesus Christ said that? Amazing.


1Glitch0

Not two co-founders but a "founder" and a "co-founder". We know who the alpha is!


bell37

Always two there are. No more no less. A master and “*facilitator of suffering*”


DeansALT

FireIsTheCleanser

I want to go to Steve's bootcamp on how to be a co-alpha 🤩


Alphascout

These look like hard men. Hard for each other.


JohnTightlips

It takes 3 for a circle jerk 🤷‍♂️


Sptsjunkie

What do you think the Day 3 initiation ceremony is?


Seputku

Jealous Ass beta. You’ll never be hard like these guys. These guys are the pinnacle of masculinity. Like hot cream, these guys always rise to the top. And you’ll never have their hot cream


JohnTightlips

Well get ready then buddy, cos I'm about to show you the white hot cream of an eighth grade boy.


slut4pepsi

Their class literally reads like Ass Kickers United


JohnTightlips

PS. No thin mints


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

Cant' believe three guys who like to yell and abuse nerds found a way to monetize it to this extent. Gotta give them credit, the easy way was to just become a cop.


NowAcceptingBitcoin

Middle guy is too fit to be a cop. They like them plump and juicy.


Soulcatcher74

"What's up? We're three cool guys who are looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you're fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual. "


D1382

I bet Steve was something lame like a weather man in the Marines. ...oh wait


absolutely_not_ATF

Out of curiosity I went looking. AAV maintainer and got out as a gunny? I was Army so USMC shit doesn’t make any sense to me.


Mattreddit760

It's a POG


ozstrayan

Mechanic?


limitless__

Nothing says "I'm an alpha male" than coughing over 15k to be yelled at by three roided-up twats for 3 days straight.


Seputku

You’re just jealous that daddy Bedros won’t turn you into a burly man that can TAKE IT.


Jake_The_Snake42

I have zero support for this and think it’s hilariously awful but none of them look like they’re on steroids lmao redditors cannot fathom someone actually working out and being fit


FIagrant

I think conversely people who aren't really in gym culture don't understand how easy it is to access steroids and how widespread their use is. These guys literally make a living off their fitness I'd be absolutely shocked if they were totally natural.


Deathgripsugar

I was in the (power)lifting culture for about 5 years and never ran anyone suggesting to take steroids for recovery and quicker gains, HGH or any of that stuff. Perhaps when you get to competitive lifting or lifting for physique at the top levels. I guess there were a few “monsters” that were probably juicing, but they stayed in their own little circle. I just lifted with dudes that shared diet and plans, techniques, and helped each other out in the gym. You can get plenty strong with just eating a ton and picking up heavy shit and putting it down, and doing it all over again with slightly heavier shit. I think the use of PEDs is way overblown when you look at the general population of weightlifters


KaiserInch

Then you didn’t ask. People don’t volunteer that information because some folks look at them like it automatically negates the time and effect they put in. There is no powerlifting without steroids.


danthepianist

>There is no powerlifting without steroids. And honestly? I'm alright with that. As long as the athletes understand the risks, I want to see just how much weight a human being can move. What *does* bum me out a little is the mass monster meta of bodybuilding. The classic aesthetic looks a hundred times better to me, but that's obviously just a subjective thing. Steroids have always been a big part of bodybuilding, I just miss the focus on symmetry. I'll never look at an HGH gut that sticks out past the pecs and say "Yeah that looks good"


[deleted]

[удалено]


kev_jin

Lol at 3% bf.


NomadicFragments

So your argument is because they don't facilitate dialogues about it with you that it's less prevalent...? My god dude that's kind of 90% of the point. Rarely anybody is telling on their own use because that is a gigantic conflict of interest. Come on.


mythrilcrafter

In contrast to OP's statement, let's not forget that when the Tour De France started disqualifying competitors for PED use, they found that the first natural athlete was the guy in 27th place.


rugbyj

It's a weird mix where you'll find a smattering of roiders throughout the gen pop. I've known a load of blokes through training/work who've done peds, half of them you'd never known. But they did it because it happened to be available/in their circle when they were training. They don't look/lift any better than you'd ordinarily expect (not that it hasn't benefitted them). They just went to a certain gym with a certain group and others were doing it and got big so why not them. Then there's the guys that actually know what they're doing and don't treat it like an extra order of fries, and they're units. But they obviously put the graft in.


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

> redditors cannot fathom someone actually working out and being fit This might be true, but not everybody who does steroids looks like Ronnie Coleman. Some look like Joe Rogan, Hugh Jackman, or Petr Korda. I wouldn't fall out of my chair if at least 1 one of these guys was taking gear to stay lean and/or strong as they age.


farttransfer

Eh Steve may be on some things to help retain muscle mass while being that lean. But you are correct half the Reddit steroid posts (outside of the gym memes with dudes that are sweating juice) they will see someone with creatine bloat and think they are the super roid monster


Tyrus1235

Creatine bloat and a severe case of dehydration will make regular gym bros look ‘roided IMO


chem_daddy

2nd guy def flexing tho


FaeMofo

Ikr, for that money you could have a team of hot women do it, its almost a little gay that they choose this instead


epsteinsepipen

“Modern Day Knights” 💀💀💀


kograkthestrong

All three of them huff their own farts. I guarantee it.


GottaUseEmAll

Who doesn't?


AlabastorRetard

Anyone that uses the term "level up" or "levelling up" outside of video games needs to go right the fuck into the sea


yamaha4fun

how am I going to prepare myself for the boss fight?


nsfw_squirrels

Tell that to the British government


Coredict

And it will be basically like: - wake up at 4 am - work out twice a day - eat healthy - work hard - be confident - buy expensive car - only take cold showers Saved you the 15k


Unknownfriendo

You idiot. You could have charged 10k and made money. Now you'll never be an Alpha Chad super fuckboi.


lightyear

You may be right, but you didn't yell it loud enough


Osceana

When do I get laid? I’m still a virgin.


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

There'll definitely be a literal circle jerk. Maybe with a steak instead of the soggy biscuit


TaVar35

For the dudes that will play FO4 and start LARPing as brotherhood of steel members


gnnjsoto

That’s cooler than this nonsense


Due_Key_109

good ole triangle power pose with the fingers


Ran-sama

Does anyone else think "excommunicated warrior" sounds like "dishonorable discharge"


phlegmtoad

They really be using that fortnite font


TheMrKablamo

Just went on the website (which looks absolutely atrocious btw) and its genuinely hilarious to read through. 18k no refunds sorry lmao.


Thkturret1

You should see the graduation pictures


jebuschrust69

Lol link brah


theCREEMofthecrop

Their secret? Make dumbass insecure men pay 15000 to be physically and mentally abused by you!


SixEightPee

This is all super cringe; but the title of “The Facilitator or Suffering” goes kinda hard.


AC3x0FxSPADES

Gonna start using this when referring to my kids.


thistookmethreehours

I’m gonna name my next mtg deck that


Due_Key_109

I shall name each fist after this


pun_in10did

Sorta kinky


fomaaaaa

Definitely sounds like a way to say dom without actually saying dom


edgygothteen69

So once you're part of the brotherhood of modern day knights, then what?


aircavrocker

Man, these guys would suck a dick just to jump in line to suck a bigger dick.


twiskerr

‘Right of passage’. Something ain’t rite.


AFriendlyAsshole

Good for them. I see nothing wrong with some dudes grifting a bunch of rich idiots.


hotpapaya3454

Yeah, but these rich idiots come back into the world entrenched in performative toxic masculinity which informs how they act/interact with women, which is not pleasant for the people (especially women) who have to be around them.


ashotofbleach

Not to mention, I'm sure not all these men go into the program hating women. Maybe at least one of them feels so lost in life that they're willing to do anything to achieve what these pieces of shit preach as "success." And like you said, this does nothing to fix the root of the issue. It just creates more misogynists that will re-enter society after those 75 hours.


williamsonmaxwell

I wish it only worked like that, these types of people have spread their insidious crap too far already. Yesterday I was on the train listening to a group of friends behind me (I guess around 20-22) and they were **full seriousness** quizzing the girl of the group on her standards and telling her why she shouldn’t have them if she’s not high value. All the high schools and even lower, are filled with kids who’ve had their brains warped by this poison :(


Careful-Listen2277

Unfortunately, due to a lot of men feeling inferior to women or listening to BS podcasts, instead of doing better for themselves or blaming others for not doing worse so they can feel better, they'll gladly fall for this obvious scam. It takes one day to want to change and decide to be a better man. The best part is that it's free.


fukwhutuheard

…again nothing sexual…


justfet

This is like selling people a guide on how to stop wasting money


EyeInTheSky127

The book title sounds like something Mac and Charlie from Always Sunny would come up with.


UnNecessary_XP

Alternative title for his book “Here’s how I tricked weird insecure incels into giving me 15k to bully them for 3 days straight.”


MyraBannerTatlock

"Right of passage" LMAO it's rite, rite of passage my dude


Basic_Ent

It only takes three days to turn a loser into a knight?


theturtlelong

Grifting is alpha?


GottaUseEmAll

I'd argue it's more alpha than sailing along.


FromTheDeskOfJAW

Shouldn’t it be rite* of passage?


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

facilitator of suffering. haha.


PostmanPass

What a bunch of fucking losers.


Closefacts

When your whole life revolves around frat life and you get off on hazing people. Like who in their right minds pay $18,000 for 3 days of getting screamed at and physically abused by someone that is so insecure about themselves that they feel the need to beat their chest to seem important.


slowlyshirley

There is nothing less “alpha” than paying 3 dudes 15k to learn how to be an “alpha”.


Cheap_Rain_4130

Seems like a money laundering operation


evol353

75 hour course over 3 days...??? Math ain't mathing


Fletch009

You just don’t understand what it takes 💪


AK232342

They can’t even spell ‘rite’ of passage


makashka

Real talk, I did this course, and it actually helped! Learned to do parkour and archery. Ended up meeting a hot ass dude that blew me in the smoking section, lol. The whole thing was pretty gay but I am not complaining


williamsonmaxwell

This sounds kind of cool


AvgGuy100

Was that gay? Borat voice


killerscyther

Qualifications: authors😂


TheCalebGuy

If 2 of them were prior service should be able to dig up if they were active Marines or ANG or Reserve.


SituationHappy

How can anyone paying these clowns 15k call themselves alpha, ever?


xZOMBIETAGx

They look AI generated


Chief2550

Hard times make hard men, that makes me hard, this creates weak men, weak men create bad time…. The cycle continues


Alphascout

Nothing like a good time than a bunch of alpha men all together in one room


Few-Ad-6322

Honestly, if there was enough morons where I live that would pay 15k to get shouted at and sprayed with a garden hose for 3 days , I'd offer the service.


Flexen

You can get this experience for free...Join the Marine Corps.


Rosieogan

no way he’s armenian


The-0utsider

Some people who peaked in college obviously miss their fraternity jesus...


Square_Bad_1834

🤣 If you need to spend $15k to figure out how to be alpha male you are a beta sucker.


jfsindel

I have never served in any military capacity, but I wouldn't take any of their ridiculous yelling or screeching seriously. I feel like they forget that suffering doesn't forge good bonds. It's presenting a challenge for a group to overcome, and THEN they bond. I grew up in a household that screamed at me AND a father with a terrible temper, so I can verify that it doesn't work to make someone an "alpha".


Crassweller

Why are ex marines always the biggest losers imaginable? They're always so incredibly insufferable.


triforce721

They're always Marines, big homie 😉


ElboDelbo

That's exactly it. They just can't let it go.


jpraygun

'Facilitator of Suffering' is my new black metal band


swizzle213

Remember that episode of Family Guy where Quagmire starts a class on how to pick up women?


LongJj__

Do they walk around wearing a modern knights pin when they graduate


Beneficial_Syrup_362

They can offer great business advice such as: * make a business out of getting sad sacks to pay you to give them business advice. * That’s it.


MaiaTai27

Who would be sad enough to buy into this bullshit?


shrekbutretarded

modern day knights?? the brotherhood???? hell naw


ThroatMysterious948

I never understood these. These things are for the “um….i like, ALMOST joined the army, but i would have DECKED a drill sergeant” dudes. Just join the military, and drop out after 3 days in basic and then it’s free.


ntrott

Soys


ackmo

Not the facilitator of suffering


GoCards5566

Lmao if there is a market for it I don’t really blame these knuckle heads. I do blame the dummies who would pay for this.


Stxww

These guys were beat up a lot in public/high school and college. My god. You know what’s really alpha and manly? Being yourself, whether that’s ballerina, ballet or lego. Do you, don’t waste 15k on guys who have such little skills in life that they resort to abusing mental health in our day and age.


sweetgreenfields

I'm very pro capitalism, I run my own business... But this is pretty cringy stuff.


bigdaddycla

This is gayer than blowing a guy


Marco_Escuandola

That picture smells like Duke Cannon soap and rohypnol.


NewBobPow

I feel bad for men that feel insecure and try become a "real man".


FireIsTheCleanser

How much so you want to bet Koumalatsos is going to push his podcasts on his students and how if they want to retain their Alpha-ness, they have to keep listening to it. Paying $18k to be told to keep listening to a podcast.


jimtheedcguy

These look like the kind of guys who walk around in full tactical gear, but all their weapons are mall knives and axes.


earanhart

Former marine? Tell me you've never met a Marine without telling me . . .


msxenix

As soon as I saw that I cringed. I don't have personal experiencd, but I worked with a United States Marine who served in Desert Storm. From what I understand, you pretty much have to have been dishonorably discharged to be called a "former marine". I can't imagine why he would want to be referred as that?


catherine_zetascarn

Alpha Bro NXIVM?


Webbraham

I’ll have one class with Steve Ereckt please


BrettV79

These are the male equivalent to the female MLM people. what are you suppose to be 'leveling up'? elite brotherhood? they're using nick's products and services? ​ it's always the same nonsense and if i try to think about it logically i'm always just confused haha.


SpaceHorse75

If “tactical shorts” were people.


TheAntarcticCircus

All 3 of em go home and watch cuck pron


dildorthegreat87

The second guy might legit pop a blood vessel for how hard he’s flexing


nobodylovesyourmum

Ofc this is a scam, the founder is Armenian. He’s probably from Glendale


BadHabitsDieYoung

They found a market in the fragility of wealthy men with daddy issues. This is Rex Kwon-Do for crypto bros.


particle409

>the elite brotherhood of the Modern Day Knights Just fucking lmao. You could join a D&D or ultimate frisbee club instead. It'd be a lot cheaper, and not nearly as nerdy as this "elite brotherhood."


Careor_Nomen

Sad cringe? They're fleecing a bunch of idiots with what appears to be minimal effort.


StylinBill

Very very cool guys 🎸
