About

Johnnie Walker Speedruns refers to an online trend of saying the Johnnie Walker copypasta, from Luke Belmar's quote about sipping Johnnie Walker in the War Room With Tristan Tate, as fast as humanly possible akin to Speedrunning video games. The trend built on the memes already about Luke Belmar, Tristan Tate and his supposed "favorite whiskey" Johnnie Walker (sometimes misspelled as "Johnny Walker") because of the clip in which Belmar (a notable Hustle Culture influencer) is seemingly glazing Andrew Tate's brother by revealing that he "studied" him so that he could be "alone" with him in the "war room." Speedrunning the copypasta started on TikTok in January 2025.

Origin

In 2023, a video of business influencer Luke Belmar talking to a group of men about his visit to Romania to see Andrew and Tristan Tate went viral on YouTube.^[1] In the video, Belmar talks about sipping Johnnie Walker whiskey in the war room with Tristan Tate, using it as an example for "studying" someone to maximize networking.

In the video, Belmar says:

Tristan Tate, pulled up a video, his favorite whiskey, Johnnie Walker. What do I do at duty-free? Fucking Johnnie Walker. That night, sipping the fucking Johnnie Walker in the war room by myself with him chilling. Why? I studied, bro.
