  • I love nothing more than a good back to the future reference,

  • especially if it fits in Biff Tannen. "Hey your shoes untied! (Slap)"

  • Cory Booker is Biff Tannen in this video,

  • he literally picks up Andrew Yang,

  • throws him into the air like some high school nerd and it's video.

  • We're going to watch it and I'm gonna show you how it's really a play on

  • dominance and authority over yang.

  • There's only one possible thing that yang could have done to prevent this from

  • happening. I'm going to tell you what that is.

  • So let's watch this clip and in your mind as you watch it, I want you to think,

  • what would I do in that position? What would I do to stop him from doing that?

  • And then I'll pop back on and tell you exactly what he could've done to prevent

  • this from happening.

  • It was the yang gang itself and then it just caught on and I just want to give

  • him a hug if I can. Oh, he's being tiny.

  • Incredible Booker does to bull. Moose virtually interrupts the interview,

  • which is always seen as being a little bit rude.

  • But not only is he physical with yang, he picks the dude up.

  • Tell me that doesn't look like some high school jock bully,

  • like the offensive tackle who's six, six and six grade going down the hall,

  • picking up the nerd who wins the math contest all the time.

  • It's unbelievable.

  • But it's tough because he put it off as he was being friendly.

  • Oh I just want to give this little guy a hug and then picks him up three feet

  • off the ground. Right.

  • So Booker wrapped that aggressive move in a very non aggressive joking way,

  • which is the only reason.

  • It wasn't something that was seen all the way across the country.

  • And the reason I have to keep this clip short is this is taken from the Ellen

  • show. And so if I play more than like five seconds,

  • it gets flagged and I can't show this. So what could have he done though?

  • That's a tough thing. What would have you, what would you do?

  • What would you do with some dude who was a foot taller than you came over and

  • said, Oh, I'm going to give this guy a hug.

  • You knew it was going to make you look bad. What could you possibly do?

  • What could have yang done?

  • While I'll tell you exactly what he could do and there's really only one thing

  • that he could do. I can't think of anything else.

  • Yang wanted to play along and he thought it would be worth it.

  • He probably didn't think he was going to pick him up.

  • He probably thought he's going to give him a hug and they would look a little

  • bit bad,

  • but what he could have done is could have taken a step back,

  • put his hand out and said, Hey,

  • how about we settle for just a handshake? And what that does is first of all,

  • at that point in this kind of a forum,

  • he's probably going to back off and just give him a handshake. Right?

  • He's that would be very aggressive.

  • He would come over top and like crushed him from there.

  • But let's say it wasn't such a sophisticated forum.

  • On a big television show and it was something where somebody may try to override

  • that handshake barrier will, you can be a bit stiff with your hands.

  • So imagine you could watch me do it right here.

  • You put your hand out for a handshake and let's say he continues to try to come

  • in to get closer to give a hug.

  • Well you've got that hand out there almost like a guard in boxing to just kind

  • of keep him off a won't look. It won't look aggressive or confrontational.

  • You're just keeping that distance cause he can't pick you up or put his hands on

  • you.

  • When you've got that two and a half feet from your arms between the two of you

  • and it doesn't look aggressive,

  • it looks like you're just trying to give him a handshake.

  • So you use that left hand maybe to put on the stomach and then your hand is

  • still out looking like you're being jovial too and cordial. Giving a handshake.

  • Now if when people try to bully you or make fun of you,

  • if you don't feel like you can come up with a quick comeback,

  • if you feel like people are able to talk down to you and just kind of stand

  • there, can't think of anything to say and you look like a dope,

  • I would encourage you to get that sorted. It's not are,

  • do most people think it's some sort of width that you're either born with or

  • you're not? It's not.

  • There's a system that you can apply when someone makes fun of you to always and

  • easily have a quick comeback to say to put the other person in their place so

  • they never want to mess it again. So you're not thought of as an easy target.

  • I've got another YouTube video. You can touch her.

  • Click right here and I'll walk you through how to come up with a quick comeback

  • whenever you need to. Right there. I'll talk to you there now.

I love nothing more than a good back to the future reference,
