There's a non-alcoholic Guinness in there.
Maybe it'll trick your body into fucking...
Why you got a non-alcoholic?
You guys sober?
You ain't sober.
I've seen the pot.
I've seen you.
Non-alcoholic?
What are you doing?
No, every once in a while I dip into the non-alcoholics, dude.
They're nice.
I've never had one.
I don't even want a drop of it.
Sometimes they're nice.
I think we got to.
Especially if you rotate throughout the night.
If you go a couple non-alcoholics, then a real one, a couple non-alcoholics.
Sounds like you got a problem.
No, it's actually, you know, I won't talk now.
That's bad.
I've never had an alky drink non-alcoholic.
Be a man.
Just go for it.
Dude, you got to trick yourself.
No, I get it.
Dude, I switch over to mostly hard liquor.
I only have one beer and then I drink mezcal and sodas now.

My buddies were defending me.
You don't know.
My meth heads were defending me.
The horse people were trying to kill me.
Why is meth so fucking bad there?
It's bad everywhere.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, Salt and Sea, they produce it there.
Just a lot of desolate desert land where, you know, containers get buried and meth gets made.
Yeah.
I figured that's what it was.
Yeah.
It's not bad here.
Meth isn't like a... I mean, it's a thing everywhere.
You're probably more Coke town.

I've been there.
I've been there.
Dude, that's insane.
Yeah.
Been there.
Wait, there was one more thing.
Oh, I was banned.
I was banned from...
Yeah.
I got banned from Hermosa Pier and Plaza for three years.
And because of that incident.
Yeah, because where it happened.
And I had four charges, assault on the officer, assault on a horse officer,
which is a real charge and more expensive.
I'm not kidding.
Assault on a horse officer?
Because he's on a horse, it's more dangerous.
I guess, yeah.
I made it in my act, like the silly jokes,
like who the fuck made him a cop?
But it's true.
Yeah.
Like he was a felony charge and more fine.
And then possession of explosive devices
and detonation of explosive devices.
Jesus.
But that's okay.
That's my whole point for the knuckleheads and the junkies.
That planted the seed to get me sober and into stand-up.
And here we fucking are.
That was your bottom?
Yeah.
No, there was a couple more.
Just a couple more.
The drugs are strong.
Did you do it?
Holy shit.
I'm surprised Pete is not pissed about cops on horses.
Yeah, it's rude.
Right?
Yeah.
Every time I see a cop on a horse,
I'm like, this is...
Especially in New York City, they're in Times Square.
You're like, this is fucking dangerous.
Tell you what I do like.
I do like the urban cowboys.
The black dudes on horses in North Philly.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is nice.
I think they feel like they have a good life, maybe.
Like the horses or the kids?
No, the horse...
The horses are doing all right.
I'll tell you that.
Yeah, I guess.
In comparison to the kids.
Three square meals a day.
It's like a scumbag getting to prison.
The horse is fine.
Yeah.
He's got his own little bed.
I don't know.
Those fucking stalls in North Philly stink.

Yeah.
I was always afraid to drop an Oxy while on coke.
Yeah.
It's great.
No, it's terrible. It's scary as fuck, dude.'s terrible you die lots of people die don't do it yeah yeah i like to go do that yeah i like i just like to go up and down and be like
what's happening the true speedball is heroin and crack right i thought i was heroin and meth
heroin and meth i don't know they call it mexican speedball where i'm from but i never
i was a dumb enough junkie.
I always use this analogy.
Like, all my friends were going to the deep end, and I was dumb enough to go, but I held on to the side of the pool.
These motherfuckers just kept going.
And I was like, guys, guys, I know this is fun, but we got to get out.
And when they started shooting up, I was just a smoker and a sniffer.
I peaced out.
They shooting up heroin or meth?
Shit, fentanyl now.
And they're like, some of them dead,
some of them in jail.
Some of them still doing it,
just functioning.
Do you ever pass your boys on the street
and they're all...
Yeah, no, they're still...
They live on the street?
No, they just like at home
with parents and shit and they and i see them every now and again it's just so dark yeah i'm
just like fuck because i got out and i'm winning i got four cats ladies what's up and uh and you
know you just see it and you just look at this dark room that could have and would have been you.
Yeah.
It would have been me.
You go into their den?
I was them, though.
I lived at home with my mama.
That's my whole shit.
I was a drug addict.
My grandma was on hospice, so I'd drink her liquid morphine, Dilaudid, liquid Vicodin.
Whoa.
I say this all the time, but it's a funny joke, but it's not a joke.
I would just scratch my nuts with a bristle brush because you get all itchy.
And I would just have scabs and pick. and then i had i wouldn't even put sheets on my bed with
the meth no this is all of it i was just a druggie so all the chemicals trying to stay in the body
i was living at home with mama and grandma and cousin and cousin out of prison and all drugged out, stealing drugs.
And that's when the 4th of July happened.
I'm like, dude.
And then I planted the seeds to get out.
It took like three years
because it's fucking narcotics, you know?
Yeah.
And then that's it.
What was the whole point of this?
I don't remember.
I'm sorry.
It's so crazy to me
that people actually do fentanyl intentionally.
I didn't know.
Yeah, I know.
A lot of it's intentional. Some i didn't know like yeah no a lot
of it's intentional some of it's not obviously a lot of homies overdose because it was bamboozle
real switcheroo so what's the difference between when cocaine is accidentally or purposely from the
cartel mixed with fentanyl the amount of fentanyl that's in a deadly dose is differing
oh for every person right thank the lord i got out when fentanyl came in.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's why I stopped doing it.
I never did it.
I guess it...
I don't know.
Good luck, kids.
Well, I'm saying like the fentanyl...
Hey, my shit is if God didn't make it, don't take it.
And he didn't make fentanyl.
Stick to weed and mushies, homies.
The fentanyl they shoot up, is that the shit same fentanyl that's laced in the cocaine?
Yeah, they're doing dirty tricks.
I heard many of different theories.
I heard we're not paying off the Chinese, so they switched it with that to overdose and wreak havoc on the country.
I've heard the cartels say, hey, you're requesting this.
That's why we're making it.
Your junkies are leveling up.
And production is in demand.
The leveling up is for the heroin addicts that want to feel more-
They have a tolerance.
As well as dealers.
But why is it going into cocaine?
I think it's every variable known to man.
I think all the dealers are cutting it with shit.
I think the cartel is making it on purpose for demand reasons.
And then the fair-
I think it's all of it.
It's the darkest world ever.
And that's why motherfuckers should get out. Well then the fairy. I think it's all of it. It's the darkest world ever.
And that's why motherfuckers should get out.
Yeah.
Congrats.
Yeah.
I'll have 10 years in August.
And then that's sick. Yeah.
You shouldn't give yourself any shit about weed.
Weed doesn't ever make you.
Like, I know a lot of guys that are heavy in the drugs or used to be.
And they tried to drink lightly for a while.
Like, I'll have a glass of wine.
That wine turns into a bottle.
That bottle turns into calling a Coke dealer. Yeah. That's why I can't for a while. Like, I'll have a glass of wine. That wine turns into a bottle. That bottle turns into a call on their Coke dealer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why I can't have a drop.
Yeah.
Weed's fine.
Yeah.
That was my next question, yeah.
I can't do none of that because that.
Does this bother you?
No.
Okay, good.
I hang out with my daddy.
When I wasn't smoking, he'd blow clouds in my face.
I told him I was getting sober. I swore on my life. He said, why? Like, he didn't understand. He blow clouds in my face. I told him I was getting sober.
I swore on my life.
He said, why?
Like, he didn't understand.
Yeah, yeah.
He just doesn't get it.
Well, did he know the severity of what you were doing, though?
Oh, yeah.
He did?
He said, leave him in jail.
Let him learn.
And I say, get sober.
Why?
I'm like, you don't.
Yeah, talking to that little sad dude.
I love and respect it.
He's from Boston.
Yeah, he's just an old school fucker.
Yeah, I love this guy.
Yeah, he gave me my soldier, you know?
Yeah.
Let's do the road.
59 cities a year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's on tour for three years.
You're like, how are you doing?
I said it before.
People ask how you're doing.
I'm surviving.
Yeah.
I don't know.
What day is it?
Well, this might be your...
I like being on the road.
Me too. I like being on the road. Me too.
I like being out there, going around.
I do.
Well, this might be your addictive nature.
That you're like, this is probably, this is your CrossFit.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
If you slow down, you might start thinking about the bad stuff, maybe.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I'm still trying to figure it out.
I keep doing ayahuasca, searching
healing. I've done it eight times.
I'm scared, dude.
My buddy said it was life-changing.
It was really great.
I need that more than anything. I don't think I can do it.
I say we do it at 5,000.
I don't know, man.
What's 5,000? Patrons.
Maybe six because I got a feeling we're going to be
jumping soon. I'm scared to do it
dude i don't know what if we did it you do wait you gotta get it i don't know if you do cocaine
but just looking at you you do cocaine cocaine with the risk of fentanyl is much more dicey than
a plant medicine with the shaman i'm wearing the cocaine costume. You're wearing the marijuana
costume. It's so true.
I get fucking, my natural
personality,
everybody, every episode
in every show I do, you're going to see a cocaine
comment in the YouTube comments.
Like, ran. I was sweating my dick off
because it was hot as fuck. I'm patting my nose
and there's one dude who's like, that's the drip. He's fucking
ripped. And I'm like, I'm not fucking good.
At KFC, every time we do the barstool,
immediately they're like,
this isn't going to help the fans.
They're going to say you're on coke.
And I'm like, this is how I act.
I'm going to do a test.
Well, you do have a weird obsession.
I want to do a fucking test on any random.
We'll have a cocaine test right here.
You're talking over here?
You're talking over there?
Granted, it might be the years.
Oh, go, go.
I'm doing a test right now.
Every time.
These are my teeth.
You do have a weird obsession with your nose.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's my tick.
Yeah.
Like the amount of tissues you go through.
He goes through tissues, dude, at a rate that is.
He's got allergies.
It's crazy.
Never mind the little bullet full of cocaine.
You don't have allergies.
I got allergies.
You do not have allergies.
I have got allergies.
You have a thing where, like, I don't know whether you think, like, your soul's leaking
out of there.
I don't know what's going on.
I think it's...
No, it's super...
Like, I get super anxious.
And you just...
Well, I drink myself to sleep, and then I drink a giant thing of cold brew in the morning.
You need ayahuasca.
And then I need ayahuasca.
I can't sleep unless I have two bottles of wine.
I'll call my mom and I'll be like, I got these symptoms.
And she's like, well, do you stop drinking so much at night?
And I'm like, no.
She's like, you stop drinking cold brew the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach?
No.
Then I'm not going to tell you what to do.
Until you decide you're going to change yourself and your habits.
There's nothing I can do for you.
You're going to piss out your ass every time you go dook dook, you know?
I can't help you with this diet.
Your anxiety is not going to lessen.
You know what?
I'm not getting you a script for pills.
I don't want to ever take pills.
I'd rather be a maniac.
I've never been prescribed pills
as always for fun and druggy use.
That's why I seek other means
because I see big pharma
and how addictive and the side effects.
I mean, your SPF comment,
now I get it.
This is awesome.
I'll take the sun.
What's the ayahuasca trip like?
Ayahuasca?
That's how they say it.
We have a new Patreon level called Look at Dish,
which is a $10 tier,
which we're giving more of the cooking stuff.
The $5 tier, obviously,
you're going to get more than you ever have.
But $10 tier is going to...
We're doing more.
We're still putting cooking stuff on the $5 tier, too.
Yeah, if you're not ready for the $10 tier,
it's pretty sick.
You did.
Chris just did a cooklet yesterday with HelloFresh,
and he fucking nailed it.
It was very cute, very adorable.
Also, we have an episode coming out
for the Look at This tier tomorrow.
It's ayahuasca.
Whatever.
It's got a fucking H at the beginning.
Ayahuasca.
It's A-Y-A.
And then huasca.
There's an H in the middle, though.
Ayahuasca.
There's an H in there.
I've pretty much done every drug known to man.
First of all, it's not a drug.
It's a medicine.
I hate to sound like that hippie dude, but it's just not.
You don't do it to get fucked up. That's also made by God, that stuff, right? Yeah. It's like a drug. It's a medicine. I hate to sound like that hippie dude, but it's just not. You don't do it to get fucked up.
That's also made by God, that stuff, right?
Yeah.
It's like a tea.
It's a vine.
Yeah.
And you're familiar with DMT, right?
Everybody is.
So DMT is, I believe they make it by man.
It's a naturally occurring thing, but the shit we smoke is made by man, and it's 15 minutes.
Ayahuasca is a natural syrup.
Just boiled, the vine the boiled
down to a syrup you drink it you trip for eight hours my palms are sweating dude no you don't
trip it bro it's like i've done acid i've eaten a quarter of mushrooms at 16 years old like i've
tripped this is like fucking time traveling truth ast projecting. It ain't hallucinations, dog. It's something else.
And you have a shaman.
Shaman, yeah.
And there's many, many helpers in the circle.
I go to a healing circle.
As it becomes more trendy, you know, be careful, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
Go to the right place.
Right.
And you, I mean, I hate to sound like this guy.
What do you want to do?
You co-create with it.
You could talk to ancestors, dead loved ones.
But it's not so much communication.
It's like energetic feeling.
And until you experience it, you're just going to think I'm a nutter.
Yeah.
I went in judging.
I'm a comic.
I'm making fun of these fools.
I try to turn it into my act, but it's not fun.
It's too positive.
They don't want to hear it.
That's great. You don't want healing and everlasting love no good bits i feel way better you don't want to
fly um but yeah you you get like hive mind like you you experience i loosely believed we're all
one like john lennon shit bob dylan shit fucking most religion shit. But I experienced this, and then I was like, oh, we are all one.
You know, it just kind of was like fact verification in the hippie spiritual world.
That'd be great if you could just get carjacked.
You're like, fuck this.
We are separate people.
There's different groups that aren't us.
We are one.
Why do you keep buying guns, Craigig because the armageddon is coming
no uh it's just something i truly believe everyone should experience and could experience
and and it's like a release like you i've puked on drugs and i puked on drugs, and I've puked on this, and it feels like demons are coming out.
You literally vomit maggots.
It felt like.
It felt like.
And then you look, and you're like, oh, it's not.
But when it's happening, you're fighting the devil.
But good.
I'll give this analogy.
I've been trying to encompass.
You know how a deep tissue massage can be extremely painful, and're popping that stress knot but then you feel free afterwards yeah ayahuasca is
that but for emotional baggage and trauma jesus you you go to town on trauma and it releases and
then you're like oh i didn't even know that was just on me man and now i'm free of it. Why isn't this that simplistic messaging is wonderful.
Why don't they do this for
treatment of drug?
I watch intervention.
I'm a master at
treating people now. Myself with drug
addiction because it's usually something bad
happens to them. Rape. Assault.
Something happens in life.
People are there to heal from that.
Why isn't that part of the I don't know how to say it but like why isn't that more because available
because we are ran by psychopaths that don't want real treatment they don't want you to heal they
want you to be sick and they want you to write a script they want to get side effects they take
another drug and it's a profit system where some person could do ayahuasca and heal after one time.
It is like an onion though.
Like I thought
I was going to be healed
after one,
and then one,
but it's like,
oh no,
there's another layer
and there's another layer
and it's honestly never ending
and it's just like
spiritual or emotional work
or just,
you know,
letting go of those
past stories.
What about the shaman?
Do the shaman have to like
have a certain number of hours
fucked up themselves?
He's done it like 800 times.
You can't fly with yourself until you get a certain number of jumps?
Yeah, exactly.
They had hundreds of times before they
could be the leaders of the circle.
That's what made me keep going back
so much because these people that have done it
800 times
have fucking some of them have
range rovers and businesses it's well to do smart people i was in there with a fucking judge like
all walks of life yeah i'm not naming nobody but i'm just saying like this is the caliber
some of these shaman are getting to this level so they can diddle people when they're under the
drugs um not my circle,
but as it becomes more popular
and nefarious fuckers always exist,
I would be aware of that.
Traditional circles,
men and women are supposed to be separated
and there's no touch.
So with that being said,
if you're in an ayahuasca circle
and they're like,
hey, rub your neighbor down,
that's ran by a mesh head shaman.
Yeah.
And get out. Unless that's what what you want so you have to know somebody that's been through this like yourself or like you just google
yeah it's like word of mouth yeah unless you go out of the country where it's legal there's weird
places where i'm sure it is legal this isn't legal no the states uh-uh i mean i'm sure there's little indian reservations and so on and so forth
uh there's this guy advertising on instagram in texas i'm like they're gonna kill you i don't
get it but they call it cacao retreat you know and then you drink a different syrup yeah yeah
is it native to south amer? It's indigenous to Peru.
It's offered in many, many countries.
So is the potato, by the way.
I did learn the tomato, too.
The potato?
Yeah.
Tomatoes from Mexico.
That's interesting.
The Spanish conquistadors, I think.
Conquistadores.
Conquistadores.
They brought it to Ireland.
You don't have to do it for healing, by the way.
There's artists in there to get inspiration on what album to write next or painting to paint next. But most people are in there to heal from atrocities.
Wow.
See, my fear is like when I've tripped a lot on mushrooms. I have a experience that is a deep oneness with everyone.
That I am in the, I'm at a crossroads that everyone else has been at.
And that crossroads is a place where you see all these different types of conflicts
have almost the exact same characteristic,
no matter how small, like if it's like single-celled things fighting with one another.
You see the simplicity in everything, right?
Yes.
It's all the same, just patterns.
And I see how impossible it is to communicate any of the solutions to those problems,
and that makes me feel very separate from everyone.
And then I, so I'm like, it it's like i see what everyone else is seeing we're all sharing in this thing and none
of us can figure out a way to communicate with each other how to fix it so i'm gonna watch hockey
yeah yeah i get it no it's i completely agree but you got to be selfish about this for your own happiness.
Your goal is not to change the world.
I'm scared about going deeper into that, like,
feeling the grip, the impossibility of communicating solutions is so painful. Yeah, but dude, look at...
I couldn't agree more, dude, because the first time I did it,
it was so hard to come back.
I'm like, no, you don't get it.
You don't get it.
Because you're awake, so to speak, or whatever you call it. You're just come back. I'm like, no, you don't get it. You don't get it. Because you're awake, so to speak,
or whatever you call it.
You're just more conscious.
And then you drink, you smoke,
you eat pork,
you bareback some, you know?
And then you're just dirty again.
And you just want cheeseburgers
and don't give a fuck.
Yeah, I mean, that sounds good, too.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I've been rolling with the devil
for too long.
Well, it feels like the other road is getting obsessed with trying to communicate the idea, which is impossible.
Yeah.
I think that's just, you start becoming cult-like and you have to be 100% about that world.
More people are awakening, so to speak, where it's like more conscious.
You can feel it.
We start caring more.
We're like, what are we doing?
Yeah. We're just always at it. Like we start caring more. Like, what are we doing? Yeah.
We just always at war.
We just always kill it.
Like, can't we just stop this shit?
This dude, we talked about this before,
that like a certain level of intellect becomes a prison.
Like when you know truly what's going on,
this is why the dumber you are, the happier you are.
Finding a middle ground where you know what's going on,
but you know not to dive too deep into that said pool
and just like chill on the fucking three foot, dude. Finding a middle ground where you know what's going on, but you know not to dive too deep into that said pool.
And just like chill in the fucking three foot, dude.
Toss a fucking, a waboba around with your boy.
I know.
Dip into both waters here and there, but just stay your course.
You're not going to change the world.
Entertain yourself.
Love yourself.
We can change the world.
Change the world.
That's the, that's the, that's the shit.
It always started like by one guy grassroots movement.
And I agree.
Like I used to think going to war. Are you that guy?
No, but I'll be part of it.
Or maybe Tupac was.
He said that.
I'm not the guy to change the world, but I can spark a motherfucker that will.
Corny-wise, I think.
Or you can change your world.
Actually, we are.
Because collectively.
I said comedically we change lives a little bit.
I know that's gay.
No.
Yeah.
I know it's all gay.
First of all...
He just pulls his pecker head out right there.
Yeah.
No, there's someone who wants to wear pink shoes that didn't think it was okay.
Rose!
They're fucking rose.
No, I...
Roses are pink.
That little vision came to me because I get all down on myself.
Like, do more, do better, do this.
But, like, we are on the side of the angels.
I stole that
from anthony bourdain we're not working for lockheed and halliburton making war machines
we're telling jokes as silly as it may be it may pull somebody out of a depression even if it's not
an important joke right there oh yeah the man that's kind of a perfect example they either killed him or he's he just
pursued the fix for so long not the fix for himself but the fix for the world yeah and he
saw so much on his travels this is what his best friends have said it's like as he the travel show
became something so light-hearted and fun then he went to these countries and saw how impoverished
they were how much they they need just the simplistic of things, obviously food, and it started wearing and tearing on him,
and his depression became so bad he killed himself.
But then there's so many other factors in there about his ex.
Yeah, it's a dark world, and I completely understand the ebb and flow,
and I've gone down rabbit holes that make you just so frustrated and angry,
and then you can't
live in there you could visit it to be aware what's going on with these nefarious bastards
that just choose profit over human life every fucking day but in ultimately like we go on our
path and we do good and that's how we beat them that's something that came to me in ayahuasca like
i used to was like war like i got my daddy in me I'm like come here you know like just psycho shit
to be honest but now like the war
is like building healing
helping like I try to make it
into a bit but once again it's positive
it's like
going to war is like I got an organic
farm this is new forms
of war I'm gonna get right within
I'm gonna have inner peace.
You're going to have the best tale you ever had,
motherfucker. I'm going to do a good deed for my
neighbor. Yeah, but these bits,
you could do a tour of the
ayahuasca groups,
and they would crush it. It's like a Mormon
comic, doing just Mormon jokes.
New York and LA were like, what the fuck
is this pussy talking about?
Shut up, you fucking dork.
Fucking pussy. I'll knock you out, do a
line off your face. That is
the worst part is that like the
insights you have on those trips
are so much more nuanced
and beautiful and just full.
But everyone's, when you try to
explain it, it always winds up distilling you to like
we just love each other.
And you're like, like fuck that's just not
it is what it is but it's not it.
But it is true.
But it is true.
These truths are so simple
and because of that people are like bah.
It's like reading a book and then like
somebody asks you what it's about like three months later
and you're like just
trust me you gotta read.
It's about this girl. I don't want to give away too much.
Meanwhile, your head's going, fuck.
You're just pulling receipts going,
what the fuck was she doing?
I don't know.
But damn, it moved me.
Yeah.
Mostly just visuals.
Like when I do like mushrooms and shit,
like it's profound to a certain,
I remember having a breakthrough with a personal situation.
I took a hero dose of mushrooms.
And the first like 10 minutes, 15 minutes, it started like really fucking me up.
And then I had a breakthrough when I was like spaced the fuck out.
And I don't know.
I'd never done ayahuasca.
But it was like personally, the whole demon and maggot thing was what it was for my brother's situation.
And I came out with peace.
But then the second half of that dose was fucking hell.
Like I was watching.
I always put on Animal Planet.
Yeah.
Because I can just watch.
And the second half of that, I couldn't get up.
I couldn't move.
I was sitting here in a blanket.
When you need a hero dose, you never can move.
Yeah.
And I have to.
I was on a park bench for six hours you need a hero dose, you never can move. Yeah. And I have to.
I was on a park bench for six hours.
That's the heroic part about it.
My ass is numb.
You're putting your ass all out in the public on a dark night.
But no, so it just kept flipping episodes.
So at first it was like, oh, cool.
These animals are just like us and they're helping each other out.
And then it gets to like episode four and it's just about hunting. And dude and they're helping each other out. And then it gets to, like, episode four, and it's just about hunting.
And, dude, they're just clawing apart.
It's just a lioness eating the neck of a fucking, you know, an animal.
And I'm like, I couldn't get up, and I'm screaming in my head.
And it's just fucking hell.
Go to the beach, man.
I should have. You start reciting those fucking thin red line quotes in your head
where it's like, is our suffering
help the grass to grow?
The sun to shine?
What is this evil in
the heart of man?
Have you passed through this night?
It's like, dude,
that's the stuff you just... I love how you have a Rolodex.
Thin red line quotes.
That's what happens. That's what starts spilling out.
It's with Mel Gibson, right?
Too Many Mushrooms.
Classic movie.
No, no.
It's Terrence Malick.
Which one's with Mel?
No, Mel's in that.
Yeah.
No, Mel Gibson's on Thin Red Line.
Thin Red Line.
Oh, he's in the...
What's the other Vietnam movie he's in?
He's in...
Look it up.
I don't know.
There's the one where the guy's like... I think he's in that. I think he's in that. He's not. If he's in look it up i don't know there's the one where i think he's in there i think he's in there
he's not if he's quoting it i think he might be right but i still feel like i've seen mel
gibson no everyone else dude i saw mel gibson at the usc fight night with shane who we were soldiers
i was right it was when i saw mel he was like right there And I was just like I just want to fucking say hi to him You're a hero

Everything

Of your career

No, you don't. I live by the beach.

He was the fucking man.
Goes west, starts surfing.
Now he's the lead designer for Quicksilver.
Nice.

So I hang out with him every time I go to Venice.
It's something that's
in a few people like people like how long you had long hair for like 30 years now and but i have i
did it before it was cool then when it was cool and then when it's kind of not that this is like
guys with tattoos yeah like i did all the you earned it yeah yeah some people just do it for
a costume since the 90s bro it's such a risky look i just always know in high school it
just always was like a fuck you you mentioned we switched haircuts how fucking ridiculous we
would look like stupid i know so would you that's a problem chris no but that was that
fucking cocaine is an issue here this was like a conscious thought i remember like
just coming out of the ocean like oh fuck i body surf dude this was like a conscious thought. I remember like... Just coming out of the ocean like,
oh, fuck, I body surfed.
Dude, this was like a conscious thought
I remember having in high school
because I would hang out with a...
Like, my buddies looked like you,
but then I would be like, dude...
That's lacrosse white stuff.
I can throw firecrackers at a cop
and get away with it.
Yeah, you can.
No.
Because you're a hair.
They always...
It's a trap, dude.
You can do all the crazy shit you want to do.

I'm just saying...
You think you're getting pulled over because you've got long hair?
I did.

You know how much more stuff I get away...

No, I try to...
You can get away with so much more if you look like you're trying to go to business school.
Oh, my God.
Every time I got pulled over, where are the drugs?
And I'm like, God damn it.
How did you know?
That was the whole bit.
But it's true. I got pulled over so much. But, God damn it. I don't know. That was the whole bit. But it's true.
I got pulled over so much.
But I'm from LA.
I always had weed.
Where are the concentrates?
Where's the narcotics?
That's where they get you.
A real charge.
Yeah.
But I always had a Heideki and I put cocaine and pills and put it on your engine blocker
and your bumper.
So unless they have a dog sniffing dog, no charges, homie.
Wait, because he can't.
Unless they have a dog sniffing dog.
Yeah. They're never going to find shit in the hide a key in a bumper unless they got
dogs and you're a tart like they they know yeah they know right I've heard
those dogs don't work yeah I don't think they do yeah I've heard that they're
like mostly just responding to the the master you know yeah he's that get him
but he's like the guy managing the dog is giving heavy
there's something in the bumper vibes.
You don't watch Border Wars?
And then the dog is like, there's something in the bumper.
You know, and he's like, we're taking your bumper off.
And then they catch you, but it's like, I feel,
I think like most of the time they take your bumper off,
they don't find anything.
They don't put it back on?
They're just suspicious.
Do they do that shit when they find something suspicious
in your bag, they take all your fucking lingerie and dildos out, they're like, pick it back up, you're fine.
Yeah, yeah, you gotta figure that out.
And you're like, well I'm gonna miss my flight now.
Yeah.
No, that's what they do.
Just repacking all your sex toys.
You ever see a woman take out a sex toy when they get their bag searched?
No.
I seen it once.
I think I seen it one time.
Never forgot about it.
In all my travels, yeah.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
This woman, she had like, she brought like a bottle of something that was over the ounces.
And the guy was taking it out.
It was just a big old fucking dildo.
It wasn't even a vibrator.
It was a big fucking rubber wall slap dildo.
She's like, I want to travel with this.
Because it has a flavor or something.
It's like, get one wherever you go.
It's a $15 ass piece.
Also, maybe a smaller one.
Yeah. It's a weapon. That's why I never forgot it. It's a $15 ass piece. Also, maybe a smaller one. Yeah.
Wow, that's why I never forgot it.
If it was a little buzz buzz, you know what I mean?
I'd be like, ah, sex is fine.
You got to feel for it.
She's got a big fucking mounted horse cock.
Is that for two?
You got to feel for a little bit if it's one of those center zipped suitcases,
which is like she thought she put it on the bottom,
but then I'll zip it upside down and it's right in the top.
Surprise! Dude, it's right in the back. Surprise!
Dude, it's like a snake
flying out of a Pringles can.
Fwag!
Is this your bag?
Gah!
You know how they're like,
is this your bag?
And she just walks over
like fishnets and heels.
That's not my bag.
That's not my bag,
but that's my dick.
I'll be back in a minute. Dude, I've had it She just walks over like fishnets and heels. That's not my bag, but that's my dick.
I'll be back in a minute.
Dude, I've had an incident like where a beard trimmer's gone off in the bag.
Yeah.
My bag's just like... I try to get it out and show people.
For my face, not my ass.
But the one... And the Manscaped Shimmer does look good.
I just thought about this.
Dude, shout out Manscaped for making a dildo and a beer shiver.
It is waterproof.
You can slap a condom on a manscape Jamming up your ass
It's multi-purpose
Oh my god
Hey why is there shit on the back
Of your fucking
My cats
My cats man
I dropped it
They sit on my shaver
You don't believe in dog sniffing dogs
You should get a dog named sunscreen
Oh horseshit Man that was fun shaver you don't believe in dog sniffing dogs you should get a dog in the sunscreen oh horse shit
and that was fun shit we never even finished the full mushroom talk no but mushrooms uh yeah no
that's a healer too bro but i feel like it isn't i feel like uh mushrooms can be fun or healing
where ayahuasca is kind of just healing, you know?
And also to heal off mushies, you got to do what he did and take like a fucking hero.
Yeah.
And it's like, yeah.
And I've done that.
Like, it doesn't feel...
Healing?
The intention and ceremony, not to be that hippie guy, but it's like, what is your intention?
If you're eating it to go to the Dodger game, you're not going to fucking heal, doc.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're eating it to get right within and go to the beach and pray and meditate then there's a strong possibility
true true i think like yeah i guess in my experiences i've never i've never done it that
way i've never done it in a like sit down like me neither mushrooms never i so it's it's always been
enlightening but not healing you You know what I mean?
I think there's some experiences I've had in there
that have deeply affected me as a person
and the way that I think about other people.
It's new introspective thoughts.
You never thought that way before.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
No, there's a certain
amount of like the way that your mind falls apart on that drug i think at least for me has made me
very aware of how fragile the mind is and how how many different ways it can break so when you see someone else
like struggling with something or behaving a certain way there's like there's a lot more
empathy than rage towards them because you just know that a brain can crack yeah and you know
they're all fucked up yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah so you're saying like it like an NBA's
star's ankle that has a tiny fracture,
it's going to snap one day.
You think your head's going to just become crazy if you take another trip?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I was saying that the hero dose of mushrooms has,
like the way that it's unwound my mind and deconstructed parts of it
has made me keenly aware of how fragile
a mind is so when I see someone else struggling with yeah yeah makes me more
empathetic I think I otherwise would have been I just read a lot of stories
about these dudes like ripping the heads of their dicks off and shit going to I
just saw one some kid was on psychedelics has ripped the head of his
penis off I'm gonna say he wasn't in a good place yeah well this is why ayahuasca has a shaman right yeah because that i mean i imagine the shit that
they go through yeah you you uh somebody wig the fuck out no not yeah but it can't happen
no that doesn't happen oh yeah let me talk about misconceptions because everyone's scared of this
shit you don't fucking vomit like you think you do. And they call it purging.
And I made fun of that until I did it.
And you're like, oh, no, that's purging.
Like, it's just different.
It's a lot coming out.
I've done it eight times and I've puked only twice.
Okay.
And after the first time, I was, like, sweet and beautiful.
And it was a release.
And then the next time, I was like, did the devil come out of me?
I can't do this again.
I quit.
So it's every. And then you don't poop your pants.
Nobody shits their pants.
I was almost welcoming it just because I need new material. And I was like, this is a story.
And you're in complete control.
It's like you're in the dream meditative state.
And then if you're tripping too hard, just open your eyes.
If you're that scared, go to the bathroom, turn on the light.
You sober up.
It's not like it's more. And if your brain is too strong If you're that scared, go to the bathroom, turn on the light. You sober up. It's not like it's more.
And if your brain is too strong and you think too much, it's not going to necessarily work that well on you.
You got to let go.
But it's still introspective and you'll get something out of it.
It's kind of like mushrooms when you said you're taking it to have fun, but you still get something.
Yeah.
It's similar.
Like if your brain's too strong, you're still going to get something out of it.
Well, I've done that hype where you're going
on a walk in the woods. If you're an onion, he's a jawbreaker.
He's going to have to
go 80 times, dude.
You've got
so many fucking layers, dude.
This coming from
the guy at 1pm.
Give me a beer. I can't function.
First of all, I'm right in the middle.
You're a job breaker too, bro.
What are you, the mini gobstopper?
I'm the kid's version.
I'm sorry.
What were you going to say?
You got to be worried about paranoia.
Paranoia is your...
I'm paranoid talking about it.
Yeah, yeah.
You're like...
But that's what I'm trying to say.
It's all healing, bro.
It's all love.
It's all...
What do you say?
When he trips, he gets paranoid as fuck.
Well, we took penis envy in Houston.
Those are strong.
I lost my fucking mind.
Yeah.
He was my shaman for a while, but then I convinced my...
No.
No, he was good.
There's the problem.
You need a shaman that looks like this, bro.
No, he took me to a strip club.
It was fine.
I did.
I also got a strip club.
Didn't find enlightenment.
I don't know why.
Hey, Bubbles, come here.
No, I fucking, I started convincing myself that we were chasing these two fat guys because
he was like getting drugs from them.
And I was like, I was in a different world.
The first like 15 minutes, it was a video game.
It was so intense. It was so awesome. It was like Tron was in a different world. The first like 15 minutes, it was a video game. It was so intense.
It was so awesome.
It was like Tron.
Yeah, yeah.
Like every light that was going by me was like traced.
And it just stayed there for a while.
And it was like, I was walking through.
I felt like I was just animated.
Like I felt like I was thrown into a video game.
Yeah.
And it was wonderful.
Yeah, that happens.
And then it ended with me walking, like pacing like a line in the center of the fucking hotel room. Yeah. For three hours, that happens. And then it ended with me walking, like, pacing like a line in the center of the fucking hotel room.
Yeah.
For three hours, four hours.
Yeah, if it ain't for you, I mean, just microdose.
That shit's heavenly, bro.
Yeah.
You just take a little bit.
It kind of quiets the mind.
It's chill.
You're not tripping.
You're functioning.
Yeah, we did that in Florida.
We took, like, four little pills every day.
Yeah, yeah.
You just take a pill or two.
It's like sunset, the beach.
And it's just super non, you're not tripping.
You're just like, you know.
I'll do that.
I promote that instead of fucking head meds.
Motherfuckers on all these pharmas that give them crazy shit.
They switch medications.
They kill themselves.
All they got to do is eat a fucking mushroom, you know.
Yeah.
It's insane.
Yeah.
I feel like our fans are going to like this.
Yeah.
It's a lot of good tips.
This is the zone.
I'm not saying don't do drugs.
I'm just saying do the drugs that come
out of God and cow shit.
