Hello, friends. Today, we've got an awesome guest, my man, Jason Ellis. Jason Ellis is
a host of SiriusXM show that is really cool. He's had me on his show. I mean, he's had
just about fucking everybody on his show. Longtime professional skateboarder, was on
the Tony Hawk tour, and is a huge fan of MMA and boxing, so started training
in that as he retired from the skateboarding game. And he's just a fucking fantastic human.
He's one guy that I've really gotten to know over the years. Of course, heard him first on the
Aubrey Marcus podcast and met him out and on it. And he invited me last year out to Ellis Mania,
where we got to fight each other for charity, which was super fun for me because I was on the winning end of that.
He's just a fucking beautiful guy.
We spent some time in Cabo together this year with a bunch of friends and Aubrey.
I can't speak highly enough about this person.
He's an amazing guy, and we have a great time chatting it up.
Back out in Venice, today's show is brought to you by Onnit.
We've got Onnit's brand new HydroCore bag.
It's the best workout anytime, anywhere, just add water.
The HydroCore bag uses the power of water dynamics to build stability, strength, and explosiveness like no other training tool.
Fold it up and take it on the road for a workout.
You can do it anytime, anywhere.
No heavy weights necessary.
When you lift the HydroCore bag, it wants to keep going in whatever direction you are moving it.
The water inside, it sloshes around, and your shoulders, hands, hips, and core have to work to stop it from pulling you out of position and breaking form.
Overcoming all that inertia builds head-to-toe stability, the kind you need to hold on to a resisting opponent if you're a fighter. Lift heavier weights if you're a gym rat
and prevent injury if you have a history of low back pain. To learn more, go to onnit.com
slash Kyle. Today's show is also brought to you by Vital Farms. These guys are the best. They're
actually working right down the street from us in Austin, and we've been using their eggs and their grass-fed
butter for the last couple of years in the Onnit Cafe. They are absolutely incredible, and they're
dialed in to the care and welfare of these animals. Foddle Farms, the pasture-raised pioneer that
brought you pasture-raised eggs and the black carton, believes that great ghee starts with a
better butter, and that it all starts with the cows. Pasture-raised cows that are raised to
graze on actual pastures like cows should be. Ghee is a clean and versatile butter oil for every
culinary need. It's made by cooking down butter to remove the water in milk solids, clarifying,
if you've ever heard of clarified butter, which means it's lactose and casein-free. Now, this is
a big one for a lot of people who deal with dairy issues. It's something we often overlook.
Ghee gets around that. It gets around that because a lot of people have issues with casein,
not just the lactose. And this is one of the ways that we can increase really high quality fats and fat soluble vitamins is by getting in this delicious ghee. It's got a high smoke point,
so it doesn't burn or chemically alter at high heats, making it great for frying and sautéing.
And it's equally delicious on toast, even though I don't eat toast, in coffee, or drizzled on popcorn, and I don't eat
popcorn. What I do is I put it on my steak, and these guys have a fucking amazing squeeze bottle.
I like convenience just like the next guy. They have a Himalayan salt one and a regular flavor.
I'll just dump that on the top of my steak when I'm done. Sometimes I'll throw it in my coffee
if I'm on the run. I'll put it in tea at night. I just put it anywhere I can. I'll just dump that on the top of my steak when I'm done. Sometimes I'll throw it in my coffee if I'm on the run.
I'll put it in tea at night.
I just put it anywhere I can.
I'll throw it in eggs, and that might be the best damn thing to do,
is to get some Vital Farms eggs and throw the ghee on top of the eggs
when you're done cooking it after you've cooked it in the ghee,
so you get a little extra.
All the good fats.
You shouldn't have to sacrifice quality for convenience in the kitchen,
and that's why Vital Farms is launching the first ever ghee in a squeeze bottle.
As mentioned, the complex goodness of ghee is even more convenient and ready to dispense.
No spoon required.
Look for Vital Farms ghee in a squeeze bottle exclusively at Whole Foods Market,
an original in Himalayan pink salt, and visit vitalfarms.com slash g.
That's vitalfarms.com slash g-h-E-E for a chance to win Onnit products and
a year's supply of Vital Farms ghee for free. And our last sponsor of the show today is a really
cool new sponsor to the show, Caldera Lab. These guys make one of the best products I've ever used
that I really, to be perfectly honest, was not really looking for. It was a product that, how should I put this? I
don't really use facial products. I'm obviously coming from the director of human optimization
and somebody who works for Onnit, which is all about health and wellness and not putting garbage
in or on our bodies. It's very important for me to have something that is of the highest quality. And these guys are that. Caldera Lab is
a company that's conscious. They are a B-certified corporation, and that's the only men's skincare
line certified by Made Safe, EcoCert, PETA, and Leaping Bunny. Whether you're tackling dry skin,
acne scars, wrinkles, or just want you to do you and invest in healthier skin, this is the one
product I would use. In just
two weeks, my skin was much smoother and firmer. But to be perfectly honest, I really don't give
a shit about that. What I care about, and trust me, it does work, but what I care about is the
feeling I get from it. The first time I put this on, it smelled incredible and it was invigorating.
It was something that I just thought like, oh, sure, I'm gonna smell pleasing from this, but it woke me up.
It actually energized me when I put it on my face.
And as a side effect, my face looks a little bit better.
And as a 37-year-old who was punched in the face
for eight fucking years, that's pretty important to me.
So I really love these guys.
I think they're doing great work.
And the world needs more products like this.
The world needs a lot more cosmetic
products and facial products and soap products to actually get on board and make clean products
like this one. It's a non-toxic natural serum made 100% from plants. I really do look and feel my
best when I use it. So they've got a special offer right now for the Kyle Kingsbury podcast audience.
You'll receive 20% off your first Caldera Lab

It's an amazing product and it makes me feel good.
And I guarantee it'll do the same for you.
All right.
Without further ado, my man, Jason Ellis.
We're clapped in.
I saw that.
Pull that thing up to your mouth.
What thing?
Oh, this thing?
You tell me how to use a microphone?
You like that?
That's awesome.
There's a nice little jab, right? I'm going to show i'll show you some kettlebells afterwards
put it to my face he's still away from you it's fucking close enough i'm really loud see
i know what i'm doing you don't quit buttering his nuts ryan enough i'm very piercing into a
microphone i know that's good hey well i'm over here and i'm still
fucking annoying as hell yeah but you start looking around the place we're gonna have audio
loss dude this is not gonna go well if you're gonna critique my fucking radio skills from the
start well let's uh i know i'm not certain of who listens to my show, other than the fact that I think it's like 80% dudes.
But I am nearly positive that a vast majority of Aubrey's listeners listen to this show.
So I don't want to, as much as I want to have that same show, I don't want to have that same show.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
Yeah, because the fact that your show on Aubrey's
was really what made me a fan of you.
And we'll link to that in the show notes, so we don't have to
rehash it, but that really
was a fucking beautiful show that you
did with Aubrey. Cool. Thank you.
Yeah, I'm glad we're not going to talk about
that. That's awesome. Let's talk about
fighting and shit? Yeah, let's talk about fighting
and shit. And let's also talk, I do want to get,
we just had your boy, Matt Cuthbert, on the show right before you yeah i love him he's such a
great guy right such a great guy but i do want to get kind of the at least the background on how you
got into radio and all that and and you know your appearances on stern and what that led to you
having your own radio show and getting here with podcasting okay uh radio was more of an accident i did say one time when i was younger
that i felt that i had potential to move into radio because i always knew that i could talk
i was always a bit of a talker uh but that was more of a joke that i would make you know like
oh when i retire from skateboard i'll be in radio and then it was just flat out Tony Hawk got a radio show. And it was an odd relationship where I was more of a party kind of.
But I wouldn't say punk rock because I wasn't into punk rock.
I was into metal.
But I was definitely a dark horse of skateboarding.
And Tony Hawk is the Tony Hawk of skateboarding.
And me and him became friends because he's kind of a sick fuck. Like he's kind of into really tweaked humor and stuff. So me and him became friends because he's kind of a sick fuck. Like
he's kind of into really tweaked humor and stuff. So me and him became friends. And then he said to
me, do you want to be a co-host of my radio show? I'll pay you. And I was like, why would I not want
to do that? That sounds awesome. And I didn't know that he thought that I'd be good at it,
but the day I did it, the first day I did it on his show soon as I started I I knew it I was like oh my god I'm good at this and I remember skateboarding
and all the other things that I've dabbled and given my my life to to try and figure out how to
be good at it and all of them were way harder from the start than this This was the first thing I ever did where I went, I'm like Tony Hawk on this.
Like this is natural to me.
Skateboarding was a prick.
I sucked at it.
I was the worst at it.
I just kept going.
So when I did that and then the bosses were there
because they were there to kiss Tony's ass,
they were like, who the fuck is this guy?
And then one of the guys said, hey man,
you're doing really good.
Turn it up a little bit after the break.
Let's see what you got.
And I remember thinking it started to feel like I'm being used
as an athlete again.
They're like, this guy's got something.
And I was like, do I?
Oh, man.
Cool.
Am I cool again?
I've got a gift again?
And it was one that was longevity you know you know i you know longevity like you're an
athlete that whole thing where i was like i don't want to stop being good at skateboarding it's tough
to get over i really didn't want to not ever be really good at that but it happens and then radio
i was like man i might be able to die doing this yeah like it's not even that far-fetched that i
could just be like you know and fucking die. That was my job
all the way. There's a lot of old farts
on the radio, even on TV. Look at how long Larry King's done it.
He's got a fucking farm.
Cowboy.
It just tells
whatever he wants.
That sounds cool. Hell yeah.
When did you get with Sirius?
That was it. His show was on SiriusXM.
Oh, okay. So you already had the in? That was it. His show was on SiriusXM. Oh, okay.
So you already had the in.
I've never been on terrestrial radio.
I don't know how that works.
I've been told by my bosses that I don't realize how lucky I have it
because in terrestrial we have more bosses
and you obviously can't talk the way I talk.
So from the start, I didn't have any terrestrial ability,
which kind of made it more attractive to listeners, I think,
because you got SiriusXM and there was this guy that talked
like he'd never been on radio before, before podcasting was big.
So, you know, fuck this and blah, blah, blah about my life.
I was very honest from the start.
So I think that's why it works.
But it was a music channel.
I got a DJ job.
I was just supposed to talk in between songs for like one minute.
And then I kind of just talked longer and I kind of get yelled at.
And I didn't really care because I was still a skateboarder.
So I was like, fuck you.
Yeah, you're a suit.
I talk longer.
Yeah.
And then I had a meeting in New York and I was like, I'm sick of everyone fucking telling me to stop talking.
Everybody calls.
Everyone says they want me to keep talking.
Why don't you just let me talk?
And he just said, all right, how long do you want to talk for?
I was like, I want to talk like an hour and then play a song
and then another hour.
He's like, okay.
I was like, really?
He's like, yep.
I'm like, okay, well, I'll see you later.
Yep, see you later.
I'm like, fuck, did that just happen?
And that was it.
Just kept going and turned into a radio show.
And I had a really giant attitude where I told everybody, fuck you.
Don't give a fuck.
And I'll play this and I'll do that.
And all the bosses hated me.
And they didn't fire me.
And everybody just freakishly listened.
And I had millions of people that listened accidentally from me talking about fucking Slipkknot cereal and shit just being super high and
saying weird shit and you you i mean my brother-in-law a lot of people got turned on you
through howard how'd you get hooked up with howard i got uh there was a comedian friend of mine bob
levy like an older guy east coast like really weird like tough guy comic like old school version i
feel and he was on the show a bit and he was friends with Stern
and been on the Stern show a bunch.
And he said, I was trying to get on there.
He's like, you got to pitch him a bit.
And he came up with the idea, not me.
I wish I could take responsibility for it.
But he was like, you should try challenging another guy on there
who is also uncircumcised.
So how many M&Ms you can put in your foreskin,
they'll love it.
Aubrey loves this.
Right.
Oh, yeah, no, I keep forgetting that that dude brings that up
in front of girls to make me seem like I would be fun in bed
or attractive.
He looks at me like I just gave you a compliment in front
of these ladies by saying you put candy in your dick and spin it around on a Howard Sturgeon.
I'm like, I don't feel like everybody wants to fuck that guy.
But whatever.
He's like, yeah, it's working.
He put all kinds of tires in there.
Just keep saying.
Yeah.
He always ups the ante.
He's like 50 peanut M&Ms or 50 golf balls.
Jolly ranches, whatever you want to say.
But yeah, so he pitched it.
Well, he said pitch that.
And as soon as I did, they said they love it.
And we want you to come.
And got flown in and got like a bunch.
They do like interviews before the interview, like three.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, very serious.
So I was like, man, this is really crazy.
And it was kind of, it's that same as skateboarding to me i was like this is
i got uh put in with the big dogs and this is where i go right now like this is everything to
me like i was so fucking nervous but also super amped like i did push-ups in the green room
i was not fucked which would suck because it made my dick smaller. I didn't realize that.
But at the same time, I was like, I was so past trying.
I just wanted everyone to listen to my show by doing so good on the Howard Stern show.
That was the fucking whole point.
So my penis didn't really count.
Maybe when I first took all my clothes off and I was like in front of Stern,
I don't take my clothes off in front of people.
I kind of do now, but not then.
And I'm just like, man, I can't believe it's, I'm doing this, you know,
like this better work because this is a tad humiliating, you know,
like some dudes like trying to hold my foreskin to get more M&Ms in there.
And I'm like, oh my God, I hope this is a really successful thing you know because you
can't tell it's just those people in there they're laughing but i don't know but i tried to be as
funny and as quick-witted as i could involving while my dick was out you know and i felt like
they liked it and they wanted me back and people started listening to the show more because they're
like hey man that was really cool didn't even know you had a show.
So that helped a lot.
And then he had me on a couple of times.
So that goes a long way too.
That's awesome.
And when did you start your podcast?
Because you had Elastronics first and then.
I didn't even want to do that.
But Aubrey said, you should have a podcast.
I'm like, I have a radio show.
He's like, you should have a podcast too.
Wouldn't hurt.
You can make some extra money.
And I was like, really?
He's like, I'll pay you. I'm like, oh, well, then, yeah, I should have a podcast too. Wouldn't hurt. You can make some extra money. And I was like, really? He's like, I'll pay you.
I'm like, oh, well then yeah, I'll have a podcast.
So I had a podcast and it was with Tully.
And then I was going to have Kevin on it.
Another guy that works on the Jason Ellis show.
And I was like, we're going to do it at my house.
And they're like, yeah, I don't want to go to your house.
And I'm like, okay, well it's for money. That's so well. I was going to pay you. You could be 20 miles away from somebody. And they're like, we're going to do it at my house. And they're like, yeah, I don't want to go to your house. And I'm like, okay, well, it's for money.
That's so well.
I was going to pay you.
You could be 20 miles away from somebody.
And they're like, no, no, no.
That's going to take an hour and a half to get to you.
And we're talking, they were three miles away.
But anyway, I said, okay, well, then I'll do it by myself.
And it was kind of scattered.
No real plan.
Just busy doing my other show, you know?
And then I would just do this by myself for an hour and
i just didn't think it was that good i felt like i needed more organization i felt like there was
a social media part of it that was missing and the more i the more i focused on it the more i was
trying to find a change that's where mike cathwood came in because i know him to be
a great radio personality a talented guy who, you know,
we started lifting weights together and I talked to him about the podcast thing.
He's like, I know these guys control forever that do like crazy media and visual and blah, blah, blah.
And I was like, man, we talked to them.
He's like, I'd do a show with you.
And I'm like, you would?
And then I thought, I don't want to half-ass anything, you know?
Yeah.
So let's just fucking go as hard as we can.
And as soon as we started,
I don't think we really knew what we were going to do.
But I think it's starting to evolve into something that
might not be the most popular avenue,
but I don't care about that.
Like, I don't do, I did that.
I've done that more than you, more than anybody.
I've been trying to be popular
my whole fucking life i got it i get it i mean it's pretty good it's fun i got some free shit
it's awesome but it's not what it's about i don't care anymore and i and i got a job so i don't have
to i don't have to uh uphold any shit for you i i can just give it to you the way i want to give it
to you if you don't like it don't listen to it okay yeah but this shit is trying to help people i feel like catholic is one of those people who's a straight
man that really understands that community like the gay and lesbian and trans people and he has a
really kind heart for all walks of life so it makes him super understanding and and he wants to
dive into stuff that most of the time when i do shows, people don't want to get into that because it's not their cup of tea
or whatever that is, and I get that.
But I'm trying to help those people that you don't know about
that think that nobody cares about them
and thinks that they're wrong for existing.
Yeah, I think that's a big one.
I really like the podcast for that.
We can do other stuff too, but that bit, I feel like,
is the most important part to me.
Yeah, I was talking with
mike about the importance of that uh paul check brought up this prostitute archetype and i've i
know i'm beating a dead horse here to my listeners but uh the quick of it is the prostitute archetype
used incorrectly is when you do something you don't like with no means to an end you just continue it
to do it like a 40 year old stripper who knows nothing else or even a fucking
50 year old fighter who can't get out of the game right there's no transitionary period i'm gonna do
this as long as i can and who gives a fuck about what happens after that then you have the prostitute
archetype where you do the thing you don't like as a means to the end that would be the stripper
who saves up to go to college or or whatever any any avenue right. But it kind of, it goes in tandem. Like you don't have to
have the job you don't like and save up all the while to transition that works too, but you could
still do something. Maybe you'd like it. Maybe you don't, but then you have your true passion
on the side of that. And that goes in tandem and that doesn't even have to pay the bills,
right? It could just be something you've really fucking enjoy. And as long as you're doing that,
you're able to be creative. You feel like you have a voice. You feel like you really fucking enjoy and as long as you're doing that you're able to be creative you feel like you have a voice you feel like you can fucking express yourself
in a way that maybe you can't in your everyday day to work right i feel like if people don't
use that creative then they don't know it's gone they don't know they weren't they were uh
supposed to be using it yeah like some people just get stuck in that little rut i mean a lot
of people do where they're just like i just do this miserable job and i take it every day and i wake up it's not that great everybody else's life is
probably better but i'm still showing up and that's your existence i'm not about that that's
hard living if i know so many people in australia that did that you know that made that inspired me
more to i got a job and i got a plane ticket and i got the fuck out of there because i was like i'm not gonna do that i could tell i'm not i was always thinking of stuff i was living
in the complete opposite dimension of everybody else i was like go nine to five go i was like i
was like i'm gonna be gonna do i'm gonna create gonna do this very i mean i used to take time
off school and just hide in an alleyway until from nine till three no problem just sit on the ground and just think of skateboard tricks
i could just see them you wouldn't practice skating you just visualize i didn't want to
get caught oh okay i mean i was so ridiculous but i was so bad at lying and stuff so i just
hid in the out in this alleyway because i figured if i got on a train or something that somebody's
parents or somebody might spot jason on the train today and I'd be fucked.
Yeah.
I don't know how long that worked.
But daydreaming worked good.
I could do that good.
Yeah.
Well, there is so much to that.
You know, like visualization does fucking work.
So that's really cool that that was kind of how you put the practice work in.
Yeah.
I feel like it.
I still use it.
When I used to do really hard tricks when I was really good, I would do it in my head over and over again on the deck.
Just keep – and I could talk to you while I was doing it.
It's just in – I was seeing it, doing it, what your hand's going to do,
when your timing is, over and over again.
And then that's why I would get super angry because it wasn't working out
in my head.
It wouldn't make any sense, but I'd be walking up and down on the deck
super frustrated because I'm like, I don't fucking want to do that.
You're going to get fucking knocked out.
Damn it.
Figure it out.
People, you watch some guys, they'll do stuff with their fingers
and it's their legs.
You can see them going, trying to figure out shit in their head.
When did you transition into MMA and start getting into more
of the fighting background? That's just from when I'm,
when I did the radio show and started to have a job,
I knew that I couldn't,
but that was the end of you're going to not get paid when people figure that
out.
And I was already on my way out.
So I moved to Temecula and to get a house.
Cause I got a wife,
she got pregnant and I found a gym because there was no ramp in Temecula.
And I was like, I got to do something.
And I'd been getting into watching pride fights.
And I was super into Ernesto Hoost.
You remember when he fucking beat Bob Satwo?
Just a leg kick.
I wasn't even familiar with a man that could kick a leg
and make a beast stop moving from a kick to the leg host is one of the greatest of all time
i was so intrigued by this man and how he had this technique that stopped this giant i mean i've
still never seen anybody more terrifying than that dude when he was in his prime and that leg kick
made that dude stop walking and i'm like i gotta learn how to do that and then i met kick cope at carrie and
alicia's wedding and we became friends and then i trained with him and gina carano they taught me
how to jump rope taught me how to kick the heavy bag this video of me kicking a heavy bag and it
hurting my shin because i'd never kicked a heavy beat i was like no idea what's going on and gina corona
sparred me and kicked me in the head and he was saying crocodile crocodile to her and i'm
standing there like an idiot going the fuck does crocodile mean is that an awesome reference
giant fucking leg tail hits me in the side of the head i was like oh oh okay you guys are doing that
so that got me into that and i used to drive to vegas and train
with kit on the weekends got in bug got me loved kickboxing he would beat me up i thought it was
great and then uh i went to team quest because i lived in temecula dan henderson spot yeah and i
just trained there and and every now and then i'd see you know dan henderson and i was familiar with pride
and what he did to vanderley not so long ago because it was around that time and he walked
by i'm like holy shit the dudes that are on tv are in this fucking gym in temecula no way and
then ryan parsons who was his team guy was he knew he was he was like, hey, man, you skateboarder?
I was like, yeah.
He's like, yeah, you're a pro skateboarder.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
And then he's like, what are you doing here?
I'm like, training.
I want to learn MMA.
He's like, you should train with the team.
I'm like, really?
Yeah, anytime you want.
So now I'm just in team practice.
And I met Mayhem, Sokuju.
Sokuju was the first person i sparred he's like
what yeah and he's like uh big fucking giants and he's already sweating and shit i don't know
nothing dude and he's like you know just you can throw some punches throw some punches and he and
i threw he's like you throw harder than that come on come on and i remember like throwing a right
hand and hitting him and he goes oh it's good it's good. It's good. And me going, it's good.
Who are these people?
Just freaked out by,
you know,
and then,
and then,
um,
Mo the wall was there learning MMA with me.
So it was like,
I was learning in May with a guy that was so fucking further ahead of me every step.
Cause he was this crazy athlete who was this crazy wrestler.
And he's like,
what do you mean? How you do? Oh, like this. And this and i'm like that doesn't i don't do it like that i love mo man i gotta i had a chance to train with him he's always a student in the game he just
recently retired i know but just a great fucking dude he helped me a lot he helped me like we went
through a lot and i broke out with my chick and he uh him and uh soa palele were like being befriending
me and be like and so we're talking about being in prison and hey man the only person that came
to see me was my chick man so remember you gotta hold on to that shit mo like trying to help me
like we became friends mo broke up with the chick once and called me it was like what should i do
man i'm like man we're really like that may Mayhem, Gabe Rudiger, all those people I started training with. But they just let me in, dude.
And I just became the worst guy on the team of Team Quest
and was super pumped on it.
We're doing sprints.
And Ryan would bring up every now and then,
there's a fucking retired pro skateboarder over here.
If you can't beat this guy you shouldn't be here and i'm
like you're like thanks for the vote of confidence everybody beat me but i beat gabe a couple of
times because he was so fucking lazy that's why i thought i could beat him in the boxing fight
in ellis mania that's how that whole thing happened i said something on the radio about
but you had so you had three professional m fights. Is that correct? No, two.
Two.
Okay.
And then was that at Ellis Mania or was that?
Oh,
you mean when I fought Gabe?
Yeah.
When I fought Gabe,
I'd had one pro fight.
Okay.
And you started,
when did you start putting together the Ellis Manias?
Ah,
man,
that's gotta be 12 years ago at least.
And it was just at Fortune's boxing gym.
And the only reason I know Fortune is because Mayhem and Rio Chonin went up to Hollywood
and took me there to sharpen my hands because I'm on Team Quest and I'm doing what everyone
else is doing.
I got to sharpen my hands up for my fight that I'm never going to have.
Because at that point, I was just happy to...
I'm like, well, you guys are going to sharpen your hands.
What the fuck is that?
And then as soon as I met Justin, he's like, how's it going?
I was like, how's it going? Where are how's it going where are you from melbourne where you from sydney right and then me and him became outback friends and i quit mma and just became a boxer because he convinced me that
all that shit was for pussies and jumping roads for pussies, speed bags for pussies, warming ups for pussies,
wrappings for pussies.
What else was for pussies?
A lot of stuff was for pussies.
So you guys would just come in and spar?
I just went to the gym and did this and sparred people like before work all the time.
I did not know any other way.
I did not realize until many years later that I was
hurting my friends and I was hurting myself and I was being like super irresponsible with the sport
because no offense to him he's just old school he didn't mean he didn't want me to be a bad person
but I mean when I sparred people and I'd go under the rope and he'd be like, Hey, knock this cunt out. And I go, it's 10 AM on
a Tuesday. He knocked the he's I, we all know him and you didn't, he can't hear you say that.
What kind of an asshole are you? I'm not knocking this. It's just weird that he would always do
that. Yeah. I think, I think a lot of people in mma and uh certainly in boxing like that that
old there was an old school mentality there you know and then now we've seen the shift obviously
with all the fighters getting hurt pre-fight specifically in mma like the week of or the
week before and um yeah everything takes time to evolve you know football did they used to have
leather helmets all over hockey everybody's you gotta say oh you kids don't even you guys wear helmets it's like and then you got to feel bad because you're in this macho game
you got to feel bad or insecure for not having a helmet on you know like oh yeah i guess i i guess
i am a bit of a pussy because i got a helmet on it's like what if i just want to remember
tomorrow you dickhead like how do i how am i a pussy because i want to recall my life yeah i mean
it's it's there there's so much there because it's such a thing that gets overlooked and i think when
we get into things like that it's not you obviously understand you're going to sacrifice your body to
do something you love and care about right but there is like it's still like maybe i do pay
attention to that a little bit you know just a little like
if i make sacrifice i'm i've got no problem making sacrifices losing days of my of my existence
for the things i love i i did that for skateboarding i love that more than anybody on the
planet more than any human more than myself all i wanted was to be good on that fucking skateboard. Dying for it.
Dying to win a contest.
I would have done that a thousand times.
If I try to get, like, make a deal with the devil.
Like, I would go do it.
Take my soul.
Just let me win, like, three contests.
Fuck my whole life for it.
So when you have that mindset when you're
like 17 to 30 it's not so hard to make you know like oh i'm gonna get hurt if i do this or i
won't walk as much if i do mma more or you know kick people i'm like i'll until i really see like
jiu-jitsu i'm like okay i really see a thing where
my knees from skateboarding my hips if i keep doing this i will like not be able to walk properly
like i'll probably start to really waddle i'm like you probably should let that one go and it wasn't
like my passion anyway so it's not so bad but boxing i feel my i can't kick as much anymore
but i can still use my hands and i can
still move just you know and because i'm so old school i was trained just to punch and stand in
the middle all these new things that i'm learning now doesn't matter if i get older i'm better every
day because i just never even tried to cut angles yeah we were we were in cabo and you were talking
about that like that transition and and you, giving the caveat of your age and your experience level and not thinking you're going to rise in the ranks or anything like that.
But just knowing like this is something I can continue to learn and be a student of that gives you great satisfaction.
Amazing satisfaction.
Me, you and John Beer were sitting on the boat on some substances on this yacht, trading war stories.
And we immediately shifted into how we hack flow
because i think it started with meditation remember that yeah so we're talking about
meditation and and um you know just how you find quiet mind and like the greatest hack of all time
for that is to find something you really love and enjoy doing and then in that moment you're not
thinking of fucking anything else it's the deepest quiet mind you can ever attain right but how
boxing now is that for you?
Yeah.
No, I've always got to find one.
It used to be people would say, oh, you're an extremist.
You're always going to find something extreme.
I'm like, no, I really don't like that word.
And I don't, I'd rather be into golf because I realized the less, I mean, the injuries
are not really there, but it needs, all I want is to find the thing where i'm in a meditation state and for
me meditating is hard if i can hit a heavy bag for 45 minutes there's a bunch of meditation in there
like if nobody disturbs me i have one in my backyard i can disappear you know every now and
then i'll be like i'm getting my arms getting burned or something but this sun will make remind
me that i've been out there but i'm'm just doing, you know what I'm saying?
Move my foot.
And I'm like, no, that wasn't right.
Keep working on that one and I'm gone.
I'm gone in my little world, whatever it is.
So you've, I mean, we've, fuck, you've got to,
I'm sure from skating, you've got more injuries than I do.
I'm going to Columbia to get stem cell. Are are you what are you going to do in columbia
i'm getting stem cell on both my knees my are they doing the baby dust doing who the baby dust
what kind of stem cells are getting there the the shit that's not allowed states oh they have
umbilical stateside okay okay so it's probably cheaper there then i really like i got an
umbilical they did chuck liddell oh recently and they're doing matt hughes right now okay and they so i i know they're good people i had stem cells in the left knee with
umbilical and i think it was fucking incredible like absolutely incredible so there's certain
ben greenfields tell me that there's certain types of stem cells that work better in different parts
of the body like if you were going to go in the spine you wouldn't necessarily use umbilical and
maybe that's right or wrong but there are specific places where it works more effectively but i
love the umbilical yeah because i had it out of the for the moon back and they explained to me
that you're 47 and there's not as there's not as many stem cells you don't have as many so when
we're what we're injecting into you there isn't really as much as say what we're going to give
to you that you know the amount i don't know cc's it sounded like a fucking shitload of stem cell in all and then they're like well
extra your hip and if that needs some as well because i might i had some in my hip but we'll
do that as well okay i'm just like cover all the bases yeah five days just in columbia getting
worked that'll be awesome that's what keeps things stuck together because they are pretty loose it
they it i was surprised how well it worked and how quick it worked we did um systemic in the vein
we did in the knee and we also did intranasal vein like i got plugged fucking mainline that
shit like heroin and that's supposed to just go kind of where your body needs it
most of that i think goes to the gut to heal the gut. Cause that's, I definitely felt it. And
here's how I felt it. And I couldn't tell. And I was talking with Dr. Craig Conover, who's, who's
I don't need to name drop. He's, he's, he's a doctor for a lot of who's, who's in, in health
and wellness and podcasting and whatever, but he's a great guy. He's, he's Aubrey and my, that's
their go-to guy. But he, I don't know if
he got this protocol from Dr. Dan Engel, but, or maybe they're just doing the same thing, but they
put like this six inch catheter down your nose and it goes into your nasal sinus cavity, like way
deep. Yeah. And they screw in, it's got a little hook, so it screws in the syringe. And we had like
one milliliter of glutathione and then
one milliliter of stem cells and you can feel the pressure build up in this that side of the face as
they do it and you have to lay back like it's this weird fucking angle you lay back to let it seep in
and that's the other side and it's for cognitive function the idea that you're going to get this
closest to the brain so hopefully the brain will will have more uptake of it oh but stem cells being there to help with cte and traumatic brain injury and those kind of things and one of
the side effects that i wasn't really sure of i remember i would tell him every week i'm like bro
i fucking need like 10 hours of sleep each night and um you get 10 hours of sleep i was i had to
then i couldn't because of my son but i'd go take like a two-hour nap.
Yeah.
And he was telling me that it's kind of like you have.
It's not like.
It's not kind of like it is.
You have these baby cells brand new in life, in your body.
And when they take to become something, it's like they're growing for the first time.
So you need extra rest and you need to give them time to take hold so it was like the more you
rest the better it works yeah and pretty light in the training during that time i'd push myself here
and there test the knee those kind of things but it seemed like the pain in my knee went away
overnight and then over time was able to build better range of motion and and follow the protocol
i see like a whole new uh goal in my life now from stem cell.
Like at one point I was like,
you're just going to keep running until I figured it was any day.
I just be like, all right, dude, you got to stop.
I mean like stop doing things where you're smacking yourself on the ground.
But I don't feel like that now.
I feel like what will I, what stunt will I do when I'm 60?. I feel like what will I,
what stunt will I do when I'm 60?
You know,
like who will I fight?
What's,
what's the jump going to be like?
Am I going to shoot out of a rocket on the radio?
Like,
cause I don't see me stopping.
I don't see why I would have to stop.
If I heard it,
I'll just get more.
And then I do more testosterone and more hgh and fucking go in the
freezing water and the infrared and hips stretch flexors and fast a little longer i just i just do
all of it all day and i feel stronger and better than i did it's i feel like there was a i did antidepressants for like six years and i i felt
like that kind of helped age me you know and i and it also gave me this feeling that my body was
indeed slowing down and could not keep going at the rate that i like to like going to the gym
every day and doing go to the ramp for a little bit if i did i'd be so sore that i'd have to not
do stuff for a couple days but once i did the ayahuasca and got off the meds, sure, I got a better attitude in life
because I went through a lot of shit in that three days. Because when I talk to you guys and
all the other people that do it, it seems like what I did was, I didn't think it was bad, but
it sounds like it was bad compared to, because all I had was three days of hard work.
And I was like, that's what I thought I was doing.
Hard was going to be really, really tough.
And then I was going to feel better after it.
And then some people were like, man, it's amazing.
I'm like, I don't remember one moment of me going,
this is amazing.
It's not a word I would use.
I'd be like, oh my God.
Okay, okay.
We just got back from Sultara
and it was me, Tosh, Christian, and Caitlin.
And it was awesome.
And I say that because of the fact that I appreciate the work and how hard it is.
Because you were doing some work, right?
Fucking yeah.
It was 23 through 26, 26 ceremonies.
And my 25th was by far the hardest night of my life by far i didn't sleep
one minute i relived every fucking it seemed and i'm sure it's not every but it seemed like
every childhood memory that i had a problem with was not only revisited but i it unpacked in a way
where it felt like it was happening for the first time so like the level of fear the level of pain
the level of sadness it was like it was like fuck me there's so much and i was begging ayahuasca for mercy
that's what i was the whole night and fucking so nauseated i couldn't puke but i felt like i had
to puke stop just make it stop i get it i said shit like that yeah and then i'll get up and be
like stop okay i'm sorry just stop it and then i'd go back
down and be like no no no this is it happened it happened to you you need to know that it happened
here i'm like oh my and then i'd say okay i got it and be like no you don't i can tell you don't
that's why i'm gonna show you a little more a little worse a little close up yeah i think that's
an important piece to understand like uh you have to know when you go it helps to know you a little more, a little worse, a little close up. Yeah. I think that's an important piece to understand. Like, uh, you have to know when you go, it helps to know the full gamut of
what's possible when you work with things that are that powerful. And for, for people that listen,
they're like, Oh, you know, all right. It's not for everyone. All right. Uh, you have to do some
things in prep and, and, and you, I don't know until you do it, you don't, you can't really
know, but even in doing it, that's my whole point I'm making is that like I had 24 ceremonies where I
went through some stuff. I worked on stuff. Some were beautiful. Some were amazing in air quotes,
like people say, where it was like pure fucking euphoria and bliss and awesome visions of the
future and our son being born and things like that. And then other ones were a grind and then
25 ceremonies into it it's like
all right you're ready for this and then it was holy shit it's so much it was almost too much
until it finally there was it to fade and in the transition into gratitude and like okay i guess
mine's not the opposite and i need to do 25 before i have one of these good ones. I just do 25 off.
Fuck, all right, I get it.
Because I am worried about that.
I did notice the third night because I really had,
like I got something out like emotion-wise from seeing my dog
and I started to fucking really cry and then knowing all the other people
that I had to face in that frame of mind,
because that was, that made me hysterical.
And that's my dog.
I mean, I lost my brother, my father, all the abuse and stuff,
and that he died.
I don't want to see him.
But at the same time, I know that if I do, I'll be better for it.
And I'm thirsty for better.
I just want to be happier all the time.
So I kind of want to do that.
But just knowing that I'm going to have to do that
made me really not look forward to doing Ayahuasca again.
But at the same time, I know I'm going to do it.
Like whenever I don't have to go to work and you guys go, I'm going.
And I don't expect to get a fucking free one.
I don't expect to be like, oh, man, finally, I get it.
I mean, that would be a really cool thing if it happened, but I expect, oh, you're back.
Well, guess what?
I'm going to work.
That's good.
So you got off SSRIs for the ceremony.
Yeah, and I had the brain zaps and all kinds of shit that made me really realize that I need to not get back on that.
Because it was
a big deal and that was the last time you took them yeah well i mean it was a month or maybe
yeah a month it took me because i weaned off because i tried to do it before and i would get
angry or get sad and i get back on them because i didn't want to bum out katie or anybody i'm like
nobody needs to be around this i'll just keep taking them but then the doctor that was prescribing me, he was like,
why do you need to get off them?
And I was like, because you said after a couple years when I was better,
I could get off them.
He's like, but they don't hurt you.
And I was like, wait, so you're saying just stay on them forever?
And then he's like, well, no harm, no fail.
And he's like, you know, the statistics of when you get off antidepressants,
how many people get depressed again.
And I just started to, because I'm not like a book smart guy,
but I can smell bullshit pretty good. how many people get depressed again. And I just started to, because I'm not like a book smart guy,
but I can smell bullshit pretty good.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, fuck.
You're full of shit.
I'm like, fuck this guy.
I'm fucking getting on ayahuasca right now.
And then I didn't even tell that dude.
I just half, two weeks, half.
And I could feel it.
And then the brain zap things, it happened at work.
My friend who used to do Lexapro,
I was like, what the fuck was that?
And he's like, did you get a brain zap?
And I'm like, what the hell is a brain zap?
Why would you know that?
He's like, you're getting off antidepressants, right?
Lexapro, man, it used to happen to me. And then I told Katie and she Googled it.
And then, yeah, man, you can,
your brain will zap for like a month when you're trying to
get off the shit that makes you a little less you, made me fatter, made me lazier, made
me, sure, I'm not like super bummed out when I get bad news, but that's never healing.
Like I need to know the bad news.
I want to feel the worst part about it, whatever it is, and deal with it.
Face it. Not just be deal with it face it not just
be like it's not so bad well you're really taking that good jason yeah i'm fucking taking everything
pretty good i don't really care yeah anything anymore that speaks to so much in society you
know like with some of the issues we have not only just with the rise of necessary as an
antidepressants but also the rise in pain medication medication. How we look at pain, how we treat
pain, how we look at depression, how we treat depression versus really finding that root cause.
The pain is the signal for me to pay attention to something going on in my body. And there's a
million ways to go about that. But oftentimes, unfortunately, when we go to the doctor,
it's malpractice for them not to hook you up with the pain pill.
But you at the same time would prefer the doctor to give you the way out, to give you a way to dodge it.
So it's not entirely their fault.
I feel like we're just instinctively wanting you to give me a warm blanket.
I don't want the doctor to tell me to face shit.
I want the doctor to give me a Band-Aid and tell me it's going to be better.
That's what everybody prefers to have.
It's like your instinct is to go, oh, God, i don't want to know about that let me just pretend that
didn't happen and not not analyze it not face that it might have done something to you for a guy that
like has just keeps peeling back the scars and trying to heal them and realizing that every time
i do one i'm like a happier person with just my day-to-day existence like the key you mean the fucking key to
my life man is like sometimes i'm just happy in my car sometimes i'm really happy when my kid is
pumped on his new sneakers that just wasn't a thing for me man i used to just be fucking dark
all the time for no reason and i thought it was cool i was like it's metal you're so happy about you pussy you know i'm like that's how i'm existing like a hard motherfucker
bummed down all the time and then i realized being angry is sad so then i realized i was just a big
sad guy with a bunch of fucking scary tattoos because he's super scared trying to keep people
away from him i figured myself out it's a little too late because i can't get this shit off this is all a fucking
this is all like i'm terrified because i don't trust anybody you took something from me when i
was a kid and i'm gonna take it back and if you try to take it again i will fucking kill you
like mentally fucking scarred dude like i feel it when i talk about it like i'm gonna fucking cry
and kill somebody because somebody did me so bad but it's not it's over i won i don't need to do it anymore
yeah keep trying to find other reasons to be happy like you assholes all you people
who make you know smile all the time yeah i made me so thirsty
you had a big smile maybe not when you were nursing that first hangover. I was hurting after the first day.
Yeah, that's tough.
I was like, we had sort of painted a picture.
You know, Aubrey hooked up this fucking beautiful experience out in Cabo for Whitney's 30th birthday.
And we had like, we had a full staff at this house that were making drinks.
I've never seen it.
It was incredible.
Our own chefs, the whole nine.
Don't get me wrong.
I don't live this way.
I don't roll like that.
But it was cool to be a part of.
And it was fucking unique.
So, you know, we're out at the pool.
There's not many clothes being worn.
And, you know, this guy keeps coming back up to us with a tray full of fucking the most delicious margaritas I've ever had.
I could taste the alcohols.
There's tequila.
But it didn't taste bad.
No, I wasn't having a bad time.
We put a few of those down. And, you know, I don't know how old you are 47 47 i'm 37 yeah i fucking
felt it the next day you got to pay for something like that it was the happiest i've ever been in
that much pain so i'm still happy i'm still having a good time i didn't have a bad time at all even
when i had one of those dip tobacco things that moves yeah but i had one
after i already did not feel very good and that was the complete reverse the girl was sudden i
was like ah why is that burning it was like and i'm like oh i'm like oh no what have i done to
myself and i'm like this is the worst i felt the whole time and then like super hot cheeks were
rubbing my back and stuff and i'm like it's still good i feel like i'm gonna vomit but it's still good i feel you know i mean i feel like
i'm just i just got this really bad pain in my stomach in my face but i feel loved so it's okay
yeah there was lots of love that's amazing i'm super in love with people from there
hell yeah brother more than others no doubt well shit man what uh what else are we what else are we going to talk about here
um we touched ayahuasca we touched fighting um what are some of the things that you do
now to just to enhance your quality of life um well i I got an infrared sauna and I got the fridge, the cold plants.
Oh, no shit.
I got it yesterday.
Awesome.
Yeah.
So I kind of haven't figured out how to do it.
You haven't loaded it yet?
Oh, I loaded it.
So it's full of water.
Yeah.
And I put too much water in it and I made it too cold.
Okay.
That happened to me.
I froze it to a solid block once.
Well, I didn't freeze it, but it didn't freeze.
It looked great.
And I did the sauna thing and then I got in there
and I'm watching the timer and I'm like,
I don't start shaking
usually in the first 50 seconds.
I'm like, this is way
colder than it's supposed to be. What was the temperature
you had it at? I don't have the temperature thing on.
It's like 10 bucks on Amazon
for a little floaty one. I just got the fridge yesterday fridge yesterday somebody google i i posted last night me in it going uh maybe it's
too cold and then people started telling me about this temperature thing that you can put in your
free in your freezer and i was like okay well i'll do that but in the meantime i yeah i only did like
a minute last night because i was like you know my teeth don't chatter in the first minute. Usually that's
way later. That's good though.
I think it's important. I'll let mine fluctuate
between 35 and 55.
If it's at 35,
right around freezing,
I'll get in there for one to three minutes.
Maybe longer if I'm pushing myself.
In the mid 40s, that's where I like it
most, like low 40s, then I can do
five, 10 minutes.
When I get to the 55, then I'll hit 15 minutes.
But you can scale it like that.
So I think it's- I'm going to help Katie because she got back problems from that back surgery.
And that's why I bought it because I go to the spa and I do it.
But then I realized she's really hurt and doesn't have that athlete mentality.
She doesn't see the purpose in it.
I'm like, I'm better every day if I go in this cold plunge.
And you have back pain.
Why are you not in it?
Like, you have to go in every day.
So I made her get in it, and then I realized that it was too cold.
But if I had it, like, the 55, I think I could get her to stay in there.
And that's – I just want to warm her up.
I don't want
to go you know man lift all this shit take this and then get in the freezer thing and feel the
pain focus on the pain you know you'll be a fucking man like i don't she's not gonna stay
i need this to be like a routine in your life like every morning let's get up and do the infrared get
hot as hell and then get in there you'll feel way better like because your back is it's it's pretty
bad she just went to the doctor
yesterday she might have to have like another surgery oh fuck man that's tough to hear but
it's up to her she has a year to do something with it and i try to tell her like there's a thing
you know you can mentally make yourself better like if you think about it all the time i would
be thinking about having my back straighter and i would do things to make it feel less pain
and i would always think about it even when i'm talking to make it feel less pain. And I would always
think about it. Even when I'm talking to people, it's like I'm flat footed. So now I dance salsa
music all the time. And when I'm talking to people and I'm standing, my toes are touching
the ground on purpose. So my heel is not because I'm thinking about making my feet faster all the
time, even when it's not feet faster time. That's how you get better at stuff. Yeah. And there is
like a really bad salsa dancer.
I definitely want to talk about that because I forgot about it. Now you bring it up. I remember
you tell me that in Cabo. Try for hours, dude. For Katie, like it is, it's not just pain relieving.
It's going to lower inflammation. Like, so there is like a medical benefit to her to be in that.
And, you know, to your point, I remember I got this download before I put my dad through a mushroom ceremony.
And the download was, make him enjoy it as best you can.
Still give him something where he can do the work.
Because that was the whole goal, was to do the work with my dad.
But don't blow the fucking rails off.
So it's a one and done and he'll never do it again.
Exactly.
For people listening, they're like, well, I'm not putting my dad through a mushroom experience that's totally fine but think if you introduce anyone
to something new and just think back to any personal trainer you had from fucking 24-hour
fitness or globo gym they're like i'll fucking crush that guy and he'll be back for more because
nobody's gonna work him out harder than me and it's like no bitch that's unsustainable right and
people get super pumped on a life-changing move
but you don't realize that you know like if you're gonna eat well for a little bit because you feel
like you're fat it's not for a little bit it's supposed to be forever because otherwise you go
back to the same thing of i got fat and i gotta do this diet thing again if you're sore every now
and then like i told my friend that they said he's been sleeping well um he's kind of out of shape god i'm like do you work out no no i would never do
that and i'm like what about let's say i was right if if you worked out and then you slept
brilliantly that night would you consider working out every day and i could see that he wanted to
say no you know i mean like no i would that sounds
fucking ridiculous and i'm like but you're coming to me on the radio saying you can't sleep and i'm
giving you a potential one you could check it out i could be wrong but you're not even willing to
check it out and even and then and then before we even check it out you've already admitted to me
if it worked you still be like oh because you hate the the thought of working check it out, you've already admitted to me, if it worked, you'd still be like, oh, because you hate the thought of working out.
It's like maybe somebody did some really hard workout on you,
but if you just started doing something different, like some people I can tell,
I love this guy.
He's a great friend.
I love Will.
But he's not going to work out.
He's seen me get better.
He knows you guys.
He knows Arnott.
He knows everybody and how they're all happy. He's seen the get better he knows you guys he knows on it he knows or he knows everybody
and how they're all happy he's seen the happy and the fitness he's aware of these people
nope i'm gonna go to the burger store on the way home we eat burger and i'm not gonna understand
why i don't sleep that well forever the end yeah that's uh that's like that's like joey
pan and leonie in the matrix when he's talking to the bad guy.
Just about like, why did I take the blue pill?
You know, like, I want to eat this steak and know that it's a real steak and just not like you're aware.
There's certain people in the planet right now as consciousness changes and people are starting to grow and figure shit out that they see what's on the other side.
And they're like, no, fuck that.
I'm going back to McDonald's.
Right.
Because people like you show too much you know that like because you do you do too much like i admire you and i think it's awesome what the things that you do and the
things you've achieved and how deep you'll go to to like fix make yourself a better person
but i also understand that for the average person seeing you that's terrifying you could scare them into
wanting to be a part of it because it's almost unreachable to look like you and do what you do
well but that doesn't find you could that doesn't mean you shouldn't you can't write him off because
he's actually really onto something it surprises me so many times when i get that you're like well
i'm never going to be as fit as carl kingsbury's what just don't do anything like why don't you do a
little bit of what carl does and and see how that works it always surprises me that the average
person that is like uh intrigued in it would like to be fit it would like to be healthier like it's
on their mind but you're too fit for them to even bother to do any of it because you won't be you
i'm like what about if you're just a little happier and lighter you, but people don't say that a lot. I feel like that's the whole thing
though. You got to have like the it's fuck. I didn't start with all this shit and I'm a fucking
chest freezer in my house and do all the things that I do overnight. You layer them in one by one
and you see what works and what doesn't. And it's different for everyone.
But like having that piece by piece mentality, that just comes from a continued hunger to do better. Like I do want my quality of life to be better. And I know that there's room for
improvement in all areas. I don't need to try to tackle them all at once. I can just see what works
in one department and then I'll move to a different department and see what works and kind of just
inch my way along until what you see is where I'm at now.
Yeah, but your benefits shake people.
It's like Whitney.
She's too hot on Instagram.
People can't handle it.
They're just pissed at her because she's too magnificent for you to comprehend.
It's like the closest thing to normal people getting to be athletes
is they drink Gatorade.
And that's a lie.
The least athletic thing.
You're just drinking a Coke
with no bubbles.
So I definitely want to talk
about dancing
because that's something
that I've wanted to get into
with Tosh.
I'm sure there's people
shaking their heads.
You want to dance?
Fuck yeah.
Wait, you don't dance?
When did you want to start dancing?
Did you just start?
Did I trigger it?
No, you didn't trigger it.
You want to fucking dance with me?
You brought it back.
Is that some shit going on
right now?
That would be great.
Maybe that'll be
the next main event
at LS Mania.
Oh, just the dance?
Literally just dancing. I'd way rather that could be cool me again that fucking
hurt we still got spots in this eye you know that whenever the sun's on me i can just fucking things
floating around in there still that's pretty this is a good compliment not that i wanted that to
happen every time it happens i'm like ah fuck i can see fucking lights and shit but uh we yeah
we were looking at we're looking at like what are cool things.
Because, you know, we do.
It's really important for, we don't need to get into the polyamory discussion,
but even just like the relationship discussion, it's really important,
especially for parents to continue to have dates with their significant other.
Yeah.
It's really important.
And that's something that I failed to accomplish until opening up the thing and seeing like,
oh, this is glaring in my face now.
It's a big deal.
Let's make that happen.
You're not a hopeless romantic?
No.
But that said, like, what do you do?
You know, like it's cheap.
Dinner in a movie is usually pretty cheap and it's fun.
We love going to the movies,
but there's definitely more to life than that.
It's like, can we learn something new together?
It's a tough car when you're a destroyer you know you you like me you're attracted to me
because i am a destroyer and now you want me to get you flowers i fuck shit up i don't understand
what is love i am a warlord and you're into it you're into it you're into warlord people so i get you
it's gonna be you had it's tough like for me i didn't understand how to be romantic because
i worked very hard on being a neanderthal you know i'm a crazy son of a bitch what love what
hugging shit in public had to make some serious adjustments in my life before i did ayahuasca
i get i feel sorry for you, man. You're too tough.
Some bitches just can't understand it.
You know what I mean?
Like, he needs to take you to the movies.
I'm like, he's doing the best he fucking can, all right?
But lucky he didn't just rip a brick in half and throw it through a window,
because that's what's supposed to be happening right now.
Like, I'm supposed to take shrooms, get naked, paint myself blue,
and hit somebody in the fucking head with a rock.
That's what I came here to do, and now I'm'm making these weird adjustments going to the grocery store and getting roses
it's fucking tough out there for us man yeah you gotta but i was just thinking like past
past what like a traditional date looks like can we learn something new can we do an activity
together that brings us together but also it you know enriches each of us individually and i think
dancing is fucking cool for that because I'm not super
coordinated.
I'm coordinated at fighting.
I'm coordinated at,
you know,
knowing how to run and cut lines and football and doing different things
like that.
Cause I've drilled it over and over again.
You're going to pick it up faster with all those backgrounds.
You're going to pick it up faster.
Okay.
Cause I feel like that's,
it's to me,
dancing is like,
uh,
what's those, the footwork pattern things you do?
You know, the steppy.
Oh, the ladders.
The ladders.
Because I've been doing tons of that shit for angles with boxing.
And I can tell from me practicing salsa dancing that my feet have got faster.
Like my footwork is a little bit faster.
Even my coach said, he's like, dude, you're a thousand times faster through this thing than you had than you used to be and i'm like i know why because i'm always
poorly dancing salsa at home at my house i put headphones on i listen to mark anthony
and they got this little mirror in my fucking radio room and i just fucking come on my hips
gonna get those hips that's a problem i'm a bit tight you know loosen it up
hip mobility for salsa i don't know where because i a bit tight, you know. I've got to loosen it up.
Hip mobility for salsa dancing. I don't know why,
because I'm super wired.
There's something wrong with me.
It's like denying the rhythm, you know.
I've got to fight this fucking
uncoordinated beast that just wants to...
You've got to fight the genetics out of you.
Dance them out.
I can tell.
It's like I'm thinking about it too much.
Just got to let it go, you know.
Have you microdosed during dancing?
yep
how did that go?
see I only
I don't want to dance around anybody
because I don't have it
and I just want to
because I can tell I dance better when I'm by myself
because I'm just trying to feel the music
and try to do
because there's steps.
And I keep thinking about the steps.
You've got to try and think about the steps until they become natural.
They're not natural yet.
I still have to go one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three,
one, two, three.
It's in my head.
So once that's gone, because I'll start dancing and forget about the one,
two, three, and so will my legs.
And then I'll be like, God damn it, you look great up here,
but your fucking legs aren't doing it.
Well, come on, legs. And then legs start be like, God damn it. You look great up here, but your fucking legs aren't doing it. Well, come on, legs.
And then legs start doing it.
And then hips don't do it.
I'm like, man, this is a new, this is a craft.
And it's a craft that doesn't hurt.
So this really intrigues me to be, because I found out there's like these Cuban clubs
where old guys wear like these cool flower shirts with gold chains and super hot chicks
grind on their leg and shit
because they know how to dance salsa good.
So I could just go have a couple of rums,
smoke a cigar,
and just have some hot bitch grind on my leg.
Hey, I'm out of here.
Are there any out here in LA?
Yes.
I'm going with you.
You're not coming until I figure out how to dance.
Same.
But apparently girls go,
and they don't know how to do it but because they're
cute and they're kind of doing it they get away with it but he was like you just go in there man
just move around with everybody apparently it's like an apartment and then you go to the back of
the apartment and then go down some staircase like it's a secret club oh hey oh yeah my coach is
cuban the plot thickened it's gonna be sick but I'm not ready for it yet. More to work on.
Way more work. Because when I watch my
coach, that's when it's very obvious.
I'll do it at home and I'm like, I think I got it.
Then I'll be like, coach, look at this. Turn Mark Anthony on.
And he's like,
whew.
Not yet.
Dude, it's been great having you here.
