I’ve not had this problem Grant is referring to but I absolutely know people who do. Where I bought my physical gold they are obligated to buy it back (tiny quantities compared to who Grant is referring too), I never owned enough to have this issue but I went...

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those. The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized. You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you. There are 2 categories of things in this world: 1) Things that are up to you 2) Things that are not up to you Which category does your reputation sit in? Your reputation is not up to you. I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things. What's up to you? How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you. Here's how I know that: You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control. I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words? You! You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way. When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control. We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."

I’m writing this while I’m still in it. Still stressed. Still exhausted. Still after crying. And I’m still working through the night. I need people to understand what this really looks like. The posts you see do not come from some calm, quiet, comfortable life. They are written in the middle of pressure, fatigue, sickness, grief, and responsibility. I take a photo, I write my story, and I post it. Then I keep working. Because I have to. Because my guys need me. Because I cannot give up. Because if I stop, the consequences are real. Every single day, I make the choice to stay here. And yes, sometimes that choice hurts. I am human. I know I could go home. I know there is a beautiful life waiting for me somewhere else. I know what I am missing. I know what rest could look like. I know what peace could feel like. But I stay. I stay because my boys cannot simply go home. I stay because they do not have the freedoms I have as a foreigner under contract. I stay because love is not a feeling here. Love is duty. Love is sacrifice. Love is showing up again and again, even when you are breaking. Right now, I am doing the work of five or six people in this brigade. Not because I have endless strength. Not because I never fall apart. Not because I am some kind of machine. I do it because I care that much. I do it because I am passionate, because I believe in #Ukraine I am a soldier. Not a volunteer. This is not something I step in and out of when it is convenient or I have the energy. This is my duty. 24/7. I save my vacation because when I finally leave for a little while, I do not want a getaway. I do not want a trip. I do not want sightseeing. I do not want Kyiv. I do not want the Carpathians. I want to go home to #Canada. And until the day I can do that, I work. Every post. Every video. Every message. Every fundraiser. I am on duty. Every four to six weeks, I scrape together a few hours to take care of myself and try to remember what normal feels like. But the truth is that I am tired. And some of what I do might look small from the outside. It might look ordinary. It might even look stupid. It is not. Because if I do not do these things, people will die. And yes, they may die anyway. This is war. There are no guarantees here. There are no perfect endings. There is only the fight to give them a better chance, one more chance, any chance at all. YOU give them that fighting chance. And that is why I am asking you, from the deepest and most exhausted part of me, to help. I cannot do this alone. I am one person doing the work of five or six people. But with you, I am not alone. With you, thousands of hands help carry this weight. With you, this burden becomes survivable. With you, these men have more than hope, they have support, action, and a chance to make it through. Please do not scroll past this. Please do not assume someone else will step in. Please do not underestimate how much this matters. #Support93

🦖: I don’t feel anything (about the situation). It all started because of my fan and (the post) said “Why do gay tops like to wear Stussy?”. I felt like teasing them so I said “Because it is cool”. Then some people said “But with this style/appearance, you do not seem like a top”. When I express myself, no matter what I am, it is something that came out of my mouth. So I feel that when there are people who would judge, for example, when you stated, “you are a male”, but there is someone who says, “But you are not a male”. How would you know what that person is? isn’t that right? Regarding the topic of gender and preference in terms of your role during intercourse, it is a private and sensitive matter. Since you are not living with them, you have no reason to judge them on whether they are a top or bottom. I feel that we have no right to judge people on these matters. In 2025, everyone can choose who they want to be and in these times, the world is more open-minded. Anything can happen. This kind of thing is fluid and a very personal matter. 🦖: I feel that when it is a very personal and sensitive thing, there might be a certain group of people who are not be comfortable expressing that they are not straight. Besides not being straight, this also includes having to state their sexual preference or their role during intercourse. It is way beyond that. So I feel that if they are comfortable expressing who they are, but you just feel that their outward appearance does not align with what you think, and then you judge them by saying “But this is not right, this appearance should be a bottom. There is no way.” How would you know? Isn’t that right? OUROAD AT SIAM PARAGON #SiamParagonSummer2025xOUROAD #ต้าห์อู๋ #Daou #Oueiija

That was an interesting interview between myself and The Glarer tonight, as always. "If Aidan Kearney recorded Karen Read, and Kate Peter wants people to support Aidan, then I'm backing Karen." "So, I think Kate Peter, Brian Tully, Jen McCabe, Michael Morrissey—whatever—psychologically profiled Aidan and used Lindsey as an unwitting honeypot. She wasn't an agent. Kate Peter was the state agent. Lindsey was the honeypot who didn't know she was the honeypot, and Aidan fell victim to it because he doesn't think straight when he has a woman in front of him for some reason." FULL TRANSCRIPT: **Will:** You're on. Who is calling? **Grant:** Will, it's Grant. How you doing? **Will:** Grant. Is this Grant Smith Ellis, the Towel? **Grant:** Yes, it's Grant Smith-Ellis. Will, I told you [in the comment section] I'd call in, so I called in. *Will:** What's up, homie? **Grant:** Well, we got some stuff going on, and I don't know how I found myself in the position where I'm defending Karen Read. But here we go. **Will:** Of course you are, because you hate TurtleBoy, bro. Like, it's not rocket science. **Grant:** That's not really what it comes down to. I just don't like people... **Will:** Isn't it though? Come on. **Grant:** I don't like people who take advantage of women and who look at women as less intelligent than men. That's what it's about. **Will:** Okay. That's... that's all that's about, okay? So why... why... why are you exactly Team Karen Read right now? Because, actually, I'm still Team Karen Read, believe it or not. I'm just telling her: if she's accusing people, accuse them and show proof. That's all I'm saying. Is that unfair, Grant? **Grant:** No, I think you're right to ask her for the receipts. But then you have to consider the implications of if she actually shows up and proves that he was doing this to her—not just recently, but for a year and a half. What the hell was going on, Will? Why was he doing that, and why was she tolerating it? ***Will:** Why do you care? **Grant:*** Because I think that it's completely inappropriate for people to leverage a criminal trial for political purposes. **Will:** Would you care if it was two other people in the movement? Like, anybody. Like, just random. Would you care if it was Erica Walsh and Dina? **Grant:** I would care if it was Kate Peter, Jason Broyles. It doesn't matter. It's the principle. You've seen me call them all out equally. **Will:** I mean, sure, fair enough. But I mean, I stand by my position that it's a personal thing between the two of them, and it's not my fucking business. And I'm not gonna be dragged into it. **Grant:** Yeah, that's fair. And it's a zero-sum game, Will, right? So I really do believe that the filings by Bederow are true: there is an ongoing investigation of Karen and Aidan, and Kate Peter wants Aidan to flip on Karen. Okay, and so it's a zero-sum game. Someone's getting charged. Is it gonna be Karen or Aidan? I think it should be Aidan. **Will:** How do you know someone's gonna get charged? **Grant:** Because look at the filings. Look at what Bederow said. Look at the.... **Will:** What did Bederow say exactly? That... that said that somebody's gonna be charged? What are you talking about, Grant? Come on. **Grant:** Bederow, in the affidavit that I found on Defense Diaries's X within the past two days, said that there is a 2025 active investigation of Karen Read and Aidan Kearney. Thus, if one of them flips... **Will:** You don't know how to say Kearney yet. It's Carney, dude. Let's pronounce... **Grant:** Oh, I've always said Kearney. **Will:** I know, but it's actually pronounced Carney, dude. I just... I just... I just want you to look good when you're doing your live streams, dude, with all your fucking epilepsy-inducing shit that you got going on in your stream. That's fucking scary, dude. Like, I'm not even epileptic, and I go into seizures every time I watch your streams, bro. **Grant:** Hey, I remembered your name, Will, right? I try to remember how to pronounce names that matter. **Will:** I appreciate that, man. Appreciate that. Um, let me ask you this since I got you on the phone. Like, uh, what happened, dude? Why didn't you, uh, attend the deposition, bro? What happened? **Grant:** No, last week was terrible, Will. I was out in the sun and collapsed, and I'm working on actually getting a lawyer for that. So there's some rule about when you're getting counsel—there's a little bit of a delay. **Will:** So are you gonna sue God for Him being hot? **Grant:** I don't know how to respond to that question. **Will:** That's because it's sarcasm, my friend. **Grant:** Oh yeah, autistic people don't always pick up on sarcasm. **Will:** Fair enough, fair enough. **Grant:** Did you see me down at the Moakley courthouse the other day? Miss Leslie's mom called me a towel. **Will:** Wow. Wow. Um, I don't know who Miss Leslie is exactly, but... **Grant:** Oh, Jessica Leslie was the person on the Karen Read federal grand jury who leaked information to a friend, who then sent it to TurtleBoy via DM on X. **Will:** Oh, okay. Oh, okay. All right. Um, yeah. So I mean, are you... are you stoked for this deposition? Are you gonna... like, are you like... are you ready for it, bro? Are you ready to drop some bombs or what? **Grant:** I think I'll have to wait till I talk to my counsel to give you an answer on that, Will. **Will:** That's actually a very, very intelligent response. I agree with you. You should probably... I mean, because, you know, let's... let's just hear real quick. **Grant:** Will, [on the other topic], what it really comes down for me...it really comes down to; if Aidan recorded Karen, and Kate Peter wants people to support Aidan, I'm going to back Karen, alright? **Will:** Okay. So, say that one more time, please. **Grant:** So, if Aidan Kearney recorded Karen Read, and Kate Peter wants people to support Aidan, I'm backing Karen. **Will:** Okay. If Kate... if Kate Peter wants people to support Aidan, you're backing Karen out of the principle that Kate Peter is backing Aidan. So, you're backing— **Grant:** Out of the principle that I think the criminal charges brought against Aidan were brought by Kate Peter working as a PI for Marty Kraft and Brian Tully, not to actually convict Aidan, but to actually get him to flip on Karen from the jump. That was the whole point. That's why she's trying to get the Free Karen Read movement to turn on Karen now, and I think it's bullshit. **Will:** I mean, Grant, I think that what you're thinking is absolute bullshit, bro. I don't know how you're so smart and you just miss shit. It's crazy to me. You're fucking incredibly intelligent. **Grant:** So, what if I'm right on this, Will, and that the charges against Aidan were brought... the criminal charges... against Aidan weren't a setup by Lindsey; they were a setup by Tully, Kate, and Marty Kraft to flip Aidan on Karen? I'm going to be right about that. **Will:** But there's evidence—evidence that dictates that Lindsey worked as an agent and was used—used, by the way, by Tully and Mello to have Aidan's bail revoked. There's evidence to prove this. **Grant:** Yeah, but let me lay it down like this. Do you know what a psychological profile is? **Will:** Uh, I've heard of them. I've heard of them, yes. **Grant:** So, I think Kate, Tully, Jen McCabe, Morrissey—whatever—psychologically profiled Aidan and used Lindsey as an unwitting honeypot. She wasn't an agent. Kate Peter was the state agent. Lindsey was the honeypot who didn't know she was the honeypot, and Aidan fell victim to it because he doesn't think straight when he has a woman in front of him for some reason. **Will:** Grant, you're projecting, my friend. I mean, that. To be fair, though. [what you just said] might be true. But, homie, you're not thinking straight because you are fucking blinded by Lindsey. What is it with your fucking... Do you not see how crazy she is, dude? I feel like she should throw you a piece. Personally, I feel like with all the work that you're doing to support her, I feel like she should throw you at least a handy, bro. Like, come on. **Grant:** Well, let me back it up. Two questions. One, have you ever spoken to the girl for ten minutes? **Will:** No, no, I wouldn't. **Grant:** Two --well, okay-- two, the other thing is, I think we live in an overly sexualized culture. Okay, I really feel... **Will:** Is that just because you're not getting any? **Grant:** No, let me finish. I really like what Erika Kirk has been saying, and I really think that if we're going to focus on the American family and the values that made this country great, then we have to get away from this bullshit that every human interaction is about sex. That's bullshit. That's wrong. It degrades women and it degrades men. **Will:** Doesn't it always boil down to sex, though? Doesn't it always boil down to sex? **Grant:** Maybe for 97% of the population, but you want to make policy, reform the justice system? **Will:** 70%? That's generous. I'd say a good 90%. **Grant:** Yeah, but you want to reform the justice system, write policy, do good things, and do good work? You cannot be focused on sex. That's why priests don't get married. It's about more than sex. **Will:** Yeah, but priests fuck kids. So... **Grant:** Some of them do, but, listen, those people are the most egregious sinners because they take advantage of a sacred trust. **Will:** I agree. I agree. They're the worst. Absolutely, [punish] them all. **Grant:** Yeah, of course. More than [punish] them all, [punish] the people who moved them around. **Will:** Exactly. Grant, I knew I liked you, bro. I knew I did. **Grant:** Well, we're on the same page about a lot of stuff, and I'm telling you, Karen Read was... We may not agree on what happened [to John O'Keefe], but she was treated wrong by those cops as to how they texted about her. They were misogynistic, and she was treated wrong by Aidan. And I back her as to how Aidan treated her. That's the bottom line. **Grant:** Okay, so you support Karen Read because she's at odds with Aidan, basically? **Will:** Because she was treated as less than a human being by Aidan. She was degraded. She was dehumanized. **Grant:** How do you know that? **Will:** I got good sources. **Grant:** Okay. All right. **Will:** Grant, I'm going to take the next caller. Dude, thank you for calling in. Seriously, I really enjoyed our conversation. I always enjoy our conversations, dude. I appreciate you calling in. **Grant:** Anytime. We'll talk soon. **Will:** All right, bud. I'm giving Grant Smith-Ellis the Towel a fucking round of applause."
