Who would have fucking would say that in this time like that's gonna make my mental health a bit better
I'm happy for you Suzanne Summers, but now to get to the fucking thick and the heavy man
Monday
blew my fucking mind. I
Was having a great day. I was busy as fuck and I got bad news from two fucking fronts
The first front I got bad news from is my daughter started softball. It was fucking tremendous
She started her first fucking practice Monday night
Guys, you don't know what it's like when your life comes full circle and some days
You'll all be in my position when you're older and you get to look at back at what you've done and what you haven't done and
How your life is gone and
It's just great that that God gave me a second chance and we picked up another girl from a team and we drove her and
They broke them into three fucking
You know three little fucking
Areas and some girls batted some girls
Fucking ran bases some girls got you know learn how to feel the some girls learn how to cab it was just
Tremendous, but in the middle of this the first call I got was that there was a shooting in
Boulder, you know, I
Was so enthralled in the moment the sunshine
My daughter talking to other parents that when my friend called me he was like, you know, it was George
My brother he was like it was the the King Supers
That we used to go to and I'm like really and I didn't like I said guys
I was so in the moment
That I didn't think about what was going on afterward my daughter
We dropped the girl off Nicole and me and my daughter went we got some I got a vegetarian burrito
It doesn't really matter what happened. We came home and then
Last night I got a chance, you know, just for some fucking
Reason against my best interest. I turned on that fucking CNN and I was watching what was going on and I
Was heartbroken I was just fucking heartbroken. I told you guys eight months ago that
COVID wasn't the only problem we have right now
The problem that we have right now in this country is mental health
Mental health has gone to shit. How do I how do we know?
How do I know this?
Because I suffered through it. I went through a fucking mental mental breakdown
March April May if you watch
The first five episodes of this podcast. I was stuttering still. I wasn't myself. This is a man. It just happens this
Isolation
changing careers
This puts a strain on people, you know relationships people, you know, people are really getting to think this gives you a time to think
So I knew things were gonna happen, you know, this thing up in fucking Minneapolis is a shame the COVID the amount of people dying
You know, this country is just going through a period of we're unsettled still, you know, we've been locked in a cage for a year
You know, some people have no unemployment some people
Just it's just everybody has a different way of handling things
for me it was fucking going to fucking
Pills and fucking edibles and smoking pot all day and I knew that wasn't the fucking answer
I had to deal with what was in front of me, but this bolder thing last night
Really fucking made me fucking think because that supermarket
Was a special place to me as dumb as the sound and you know guys
I tell you how I feel from the bottom of my heart on every fucking episode
last night when I was looking at first of all that King Supers was just a
Supermarket and then if you went
Passed down. There was a little tiny strip mall and there was a bar
They had a couple things I really don't remember
I knew they had a bar because they had a dinner special and every night they had like a early dinner like five to seven
You get like for $9 you got and they made a tremendous Trout almond Dean and I would go there twice or three times a week
You know that King Supers
I lived in that area from
September of 87
To April of 88 that is where I lived
South Boulder when I
Kidnapped Vella. I lived across the street from that supermarket. That's the supermarket
I still remember all the shit that happened in that supermarket. I used to
You know, I used to shop there
So I would shop every kind of every other day
Let's say I would go for something to eat fresh and I remember one Sunday hung over I
You know crossed the street. I didn't go to the yellow light to the corner. I in the middle
I just cut across the street jaywalking what they call it and
Well, I was jaywalking. I heard a
Tire hit something and it hit a wallet that was on the floor and I remember like hitting the corner and going
Somebody threw a wall out of a car. Let me go see what's in there and I just felt a curiosity
I went over picked up the wallet. They took the credit cards. They cleaned out everything
But there was a little secret compartment and I opened it up and there was $200 bills
I was never so happy in my fucking life. That's one of my pleasant fucking memories about that
but that King Supers used to put
their bags of dog food outside and I had a dog then Hercules and I would just go shopping and
Then on the way out, I would just pick up a bag of dog food and walk home. I wouldn't even pay for it
I mean, I'm so fucking ashamed to tell you these stories. There's nothing to do with
What happened? I'm just telling you my connection to this place
They had a seafood department in there and the guy with some new Orleans the smoothest coolest black dude
You've ever been in your life. He loved me in George and he would make his cures
He would make swordfish and mahi mahi and shrimp and peppers and
More shrimp and he would put it in skewers and marinated in this fucking new Orleans fucking shit
And we were going there every day get swordfish steaks
kebabs and just walk out of the store
Like I would go when are they gonna find out that we're not we're not paying for this fucking seafood
Me and George were eating like fucking kings. That's the apartment that I had the house
I had where fucking the cops came to get me
That's where I lived when the mailman sprayed my fucking dog and I pushed him and the feds came to my house
dog I got memories from that fucking neighborhood, so
You got to understand that that hit me fucking just last night. I was like all this shit kept flashing up
I just I called a friend of mine Manny
Tamino who was my friend in Boulder who lives in Belmont, New Jersey. I'm gonna go visit him pretty soon and
We talked about Boulder and he was like which one what King Supers was it because we live when I lived with Manny
That's why I moved April of 88 before I got sentenced. He was my brother man. He still is
He lived on the main Boulder
He lived in North Boulder Manny and there was a King Supers on a wrap-a-hole Boulevard a wrap-a-hole road
And that was my King Supers
That's why I used to go and get the
Gouda cheese with the fresh orange sweet juice at night after I do comedy and I would drive to a wrap-a-hole and
55th and there was an Acura dealer there on the dealer and I would just sit in my beat-up fucking jalopy
Dreaming about the day that someday I could afford a fucking Acura 30 something years old that I had a beat-up fucking car piece of shit
but I
Told Manny this I go. I remember all those King Supers, but the one and table Mesa that one where the shooting was
Let me tell you what my
Biggest memory was from that. That's where I found out. I was going to fucking prison. I
Would shop there like I said every other day. I would go over there whatever, you know
Hamburgers shit like that
But one day actually one in there and on my kidnapping. That's why I lived when I kidnapped Bella
That's why I live when I got out and that's why I lived when I started getting my life together a little bit before I went to prison
Up to this point like I got out in December and up to that point. I was like I'm gonna beat this case
It had to be like April of 88
and I walked into this King Supers and
I was just walking around the hall, you know, I was looking for whatever the fuck it is
I was looking for and I looked up and I saw the district attorney in my case
And I had already been writing letters you guys know, I'm a letter writer
I started writing them letters as soon as I got out of fucking county, you know, I got this fucking address
And I started writing them letters about what happened and I
Wasn't saying how sorry I was I wasn't that was my big problem. I was just writing war was me letters, you know
Fucking typical junkie shit that that's why I was then, you know, it wasn't my fault
It was a bad day, but nowhere would I cop to it, you know
And I'll never forget that I said this is my chance to go
Fucking talk to this guy, you know face-to-face with no attorneys
Or nothing like this and between you me guys. He was a good guy. He I mean you you guys don't want me to say
It was a scumbag. He was gonna throw me in prison. He was doing his job
He was a good guy and I approached him like a man and I said I forget what his name is now
I said, excuse me gonna have a word with you and he goes
You know because of our situations
We can't really talk, but
I'll give you two minutes and I said to him, you know
Listen, I I did what I did
You know, I just played the same broken Joey Diaz record from
You know what I was doing in those days. It was always everybody else's fault. It was the world's fault
It was that my mom died. It was this it was that we just fucking excuses that I give myself that we all give ourselves
After prison, I stopped doing that excuse and I copped to whatever the fuck I do if you do it
You did it and copped them and who gives a fuck who would they to judge you anyway?
You know, but I was dumb at the time. I was 25 fucking years old. It was 1988
And I went up to him and I went up with my fucking thing. They looked at me and he goes listen, man
I appreciate what you're doing. I
Appreciate that you're trying to get into college. I appreciate that you got your GED
He goes, I appreciate that you're doing these things, but you also have to consider that you did a crime
And it was a crime that they could have been up potential
for violence a
Bullet could have gone on for a neighbor could have been shot
Something it could have been a potential for violence. You have to face the fucking music
Nothing has ever cut my stomach like those words when he said it to me. This was way before comedy
This was way before people were calling me out
You know, I lived the life where nobody would call me out because I was fucking nuts
I was fucking nuts, you know, they didn't know what I was gonna do to him
Oh, I was gonna react but this guy said shit to me that he wasn't lying
He goes listen, man, I looked over your folder. I looked over the investigator reports
And I looked over who the fuck you've been for the last whatever years
He goes
You've been chucking on jiving
He goes, that's your gift and I appreciate it that you have that and I appreciate it that
You're doing all these things, but you've been chucking and jiving. It's time for you to pay the fucking piper
And I'm sorry to have to be the person to do that. I'm really sorry and I apologize to you
And in time, it'll make you a better person. I looked I'm like how is jail gonna make me a better person
When I have options of actually going to college. I didn't understand where he was coming from. I needed to fucking change
He read me that and I remember we were about a throat like the the frozen out food
You know what the shit that you pick like to have my corn dogs and frozen egg rolls and shit like that
There's no windows. I I still remember that he was looking through shit
He was telling me this make an eye contact, but when he told me the chucking jive would be lying
Like I nearly fucking died because he wasn't lying
He told me the fucking truth. He was like listen, man
It's time for you to fucking pay the piper
You've been fucking chucking and jiving moving along all your life. He goes. I read the reports out of San Francisco
You had police contact up there. You had police contact in New Jersey at police contact in New York
And I've read all these fucking files and it's time for you to pay for some of your things
I shook his hand. I said, thank you for your time. He shook my hand
He told me thank you for understanding and I walked out of there
I think George came to me to we slayed and said he wanted to move back to New York
But he had gotten an opportunity in framing and that gave me time to think about what that man said to me
but that's why this
Thing in Boulder is just
mind-boggling to me. It is something that
It's gonna continue to happen now. I think there was another there's the first time in American history that there was two mass shootings
In one week, you know the other one I think was Asian. It was more of Asians in Florida
I don't know what happened. Like I said, I'm not up on the news anymore
Because of how down it brought me, you know, I tried to avoid yahoo with the fucking plague
You know, I tried to avoid Facebook and the Twitter page, you know, I post and I get the fuck out of there
You know, like I said this morning, I seen the Suzanne Summers thing and at least broke the you know
I laughed I giggled I giggled at the fucking, you know, whatever
But then there's the reality of things, you know numbers are going back up
You know, whatever's going on in South Beach with people jumping up and down. I mean, but what do you expect?
What do fucking people expect? You've had us in a cage for a year
You've fucking fucked to this about unemployment. You fucked to this about race. You fucked to this
I mean, you know telling us numbers that just don't make sense telling us things that don't make fucking sense
I'm sitting here the other night with my fucking wife and she's watching New Jersey 12 for the fucking weather
And I swear to God we tried to catch it like because it starts every half hour on the hour
So you could try to catch the end but for some reason we let it run into the 10 o'clock fucking hour
We were doing something. I was at my desk and we were downstairs in the basement and the guy goes
Fucking there's a new variant in Brooklyn. You know, it's all around Brooklyn, but
We're opening up restaurants 75% in New York. So yeah
People are walking around like what do I believe and what don't I believe?
Mental health guys is that an all-time fucking high all-time fucking high
We could turn our backs on it and we can make believe you know
Half of you instead of watching this fucking podcast or listen to the podcast
I have feeling have our feeling things that you've never felt before I
Am I am I can't you if you listen if you want me to sit here and tell you fucking that my world is fucking
Tremendous, I'll lie to you and tell you that my wife is healthy. I'm healthy
My daughter is healthy. They're back in school. I love what I'm doing down here
But I got to be honest with you
The days are long
Your mind seems to go into different places because the day is so long and
You're not doing what you used used to be doing in living
I mean my life is a little better than what it was than when I got here. You could see it in my face
I'm happier. I'm healthier. You know everything around that is working, but for most Americans
It's not a fucking party right now. It's not a fucking party
We're learning how to zoom we're learning how to work at home
We're learning how to deal with our kids not being in school. We're learning how to we're learning so many fucking different things
That it's all the fucking well-being right now, you know, the
Well, what vaccine do I take? I mean, we're all trying to do the right thing
We're all trying to do the right thing. We're all trying to fucking to decide what vaccine to take but every two days
That's tech. That's tech. It's gonna give you blood clots. This one is giving you this. This one is giving you that
Why can't we just focus on one fucking thing?
But every day is a fucking different so Americans. Yes, we are having a hard time
Australia's a lockdown, you know, the UK is having their fucking bombs
The world is in a weird fucking spot, but never
In 2000 fucking listen, there's things that have blown my mind completely
I never ever ever thought I would ever get in the movie boy. Was I wrong?
I never ever ever thought I was gonna get married again. Boy. Was I wrong? I never ever wanted
another child of the pain that comes with
Losing a child like I did, you know, I never thought that would happen, but never
in my fucking life
That I think that somebody would go into a supermarket and boulder the land of sandals
People have Birkenstocks. They don't even want to fucking run if there's a shooter
Never in my life
What I think that somebody would take 10 lives and bold on a Monday
Fucking afternoon in March never never
I saw one guy. This is when I turned off the tv last night and started practicing the guitar
They interviewed one guy. He was on a street corner and he goes he was crying
He was a 30 year old man crying saying
That he thought
He was in the safest place in the world
That he never thought he would lose his life
over getting a fucking soda
I mean and
This is the same way. I feel listen crime went up 61% now. Like you're gonna hear about shootings there, you know
Minneapolis is just waiting to blow
You know, st. Louis is a is a racial hotbed right now
You know, Miami. I mean we have all these spots
I expect that, you know
Texas is the land of guns. I love Texas. I you know, it's the land of guns
Colorado's the land of guns to have and make my day law
Which I love myself. I live by until this day if I see your leg come through my window
I just sit there with a gun and aim up and shoot at you, you know
I mean, I love all these laws and stuff like that, but
I don't like people taking 10 fucking lives
Of people were just shopping. There were people getting covid test
People online getting a fucking covid test waiting to get a fucking covid test
So I hate it to come at this gloom with you, but it's there
I have to address this elephant in the room and tell you how I feel about it
Because it did hit me fucking hard, you know, listen, man
When that fucking kid got shot
The lady gaga kid. I don't know him
I have no I I don't know him. I've never met him. I've never met lady gaga
I've never met lady gaga's dogs, you know, it's not like I know these people
But dawg, I didn't feel good that week. Why I walked those streets
I used to walk those streets in Boulder
With josh wolf and Ralphie and Doug Stanhope and Mitch
Sure, it's gonna affect me that could that could have been only one of us
I mean god, no none of us lived in on more Ralphie's dead Mitch's dead
Duggers and fucking, uh, you know, Arizona. I'm here. It doesn't matter
It has to affect me in a certain way. I lived there. I walked those streets. Those were my neighbors
You know, that was my 7-Eleven. That was my liquor store. That was my gym there
That was where Justin Fortune's gym was with Nakafoli and all my friends there. Sure. I'm gonna react a certain way, but this
You know this and la they're shooting people for a fucking watch in Beverly Hills. I understand
But boulder the home of the ropa institute
half the people there are buddhist
Half the people there are fucking and I hate to say this because they just had a tragedy, but they're like fake hippies
But it's a land of love. It's like it really is that they're they're trust-run hippies
They got beards and and things and they don't cut their fingernails and they
They wear dirty clothes, but then you see them hide their outie. They're 80 thousand dollar outie
You're like, how the fuck are you a hippie and they hate corporate american? They hate all this shit
They're just rich kids that are confused, but still not confused enough to shoot
10 people at a fucking supermarket. They're just you know, little fucking hippie kids, man. It just uh
Sucks the fucking energy out of me
I mean, I I even thought about calling my ex-wife and checking in just because
And I know that they don't live in south bolder. They're not even close to it, but
brother this
This is no bueno for a guy like me. This is uh
Like I said, I called my friend my man mike robuck
I called manny and the last guy called after the guitar lessons was george george was working
And we spoke last night about it like how
What the fuck is going on, you know
But hey, it's life today
It's why I come on here once a week to break up them twice a week
To break up the fucking monotony and just talk to you about life and the stupid things we fucking encounter, you know
But this is what's going on today guys, and I hope that if you're feeling
If you're feeling weird on any way reach out
Reach out to somebody. I'm sick of telling you people this
You don't have to feel this way. You don't deserve to feel this way
This you know, you have friends
I don't care if you have to you know now you I love to tell you
You have friends you go to the supermarket, but you can't even do that anymore
I mean, you don't know what is going to pop off
What areas going to pop off and that's what's got me all fucked up, you know
Like I said, I hate to bring this up during a podcast today and whatnot, especially after the great time
We have with greg fit Simmons. I'm happy you people enjoyed that you could actually see
You know, I watched 10 or 15 minutes of that podcast
and uh
I'm happy you're enjoying these things and whatnot and they help you
But I'm also looking at me and these things
Every day, you know, Mike posted an old clip from the church
And he posted a clip from whatever and I look at both clips
And I see the change I don't I I'm not talking about the losing the weight
I'm not talking about the bags around my eyes. I'm not talking about my hair getting grayer
I'm not talking about that stuff. I can actually see
The interchange that I the weight that fell off my fucking shoulders
I could feel all the
I was in a toxic environment and I didn't fucking even know it
And I wasn't in a like
Like it wasn't a toxic environment in my marriage
It wasn't a toxic environment in my friends. It wasn't a toxic environment
And what I was doing it was just a whole big picture of comedy
Of what was going on and the fucking deals that were getting cut and what comics were worried about and what I was worried about
And what I I should have been doing in the first place, you know
When I moved I I didn't know it was gonna happen. I didn't know I was going I wasn't at this deep
I didn't find out till I landed here
How bad my head was in the shape I was in emotionally and mentally and uh
This has just worked out for me 150 fucking percent, you know, and I'm here
To add levity to your lives, you know, I try to be funny on some episodes
Some episodes I come here and we just talk, you know, that's all we could do
And maybe just this hour will be something that you've been thinking about that I touch on and yes
you know, it's uh
It's just a scary time for us
Now I got to tell you about the second batch of bad news I got yesterday
So I went off the fucking pain pills. I threw away the fucking oxycodons
They hit me with vicarins
I didn't touch the vicarins for two days
I started getting a little pain
on that wednesday
And then I took like vicarins for two days and that was it. I fought off the pain
I gotta tell you something guys last week
For some reason like one of the days mic was here. I had unusual pain
Did I take a pain pill? No, I took some of the leaves and I rub cbd line on my leg and fucking
You know, I put ice on my leg. I got a fucking, you know, the other thing I've been using
towards this is a company that
Nate uh
Nate ellenberger is part of like a voltage
He sent me the gun two years ago when he did the podcast
He sent me a knee brace that heats up and vibrates
You know, I've been doing that for the pain. I did everything I could
But I knew that something wasn't right with my knee
When I would take a shower I take two showers a day when I take a shower
I dry off because fuck the other dad took off my knee braces and I smelled them
Oh
I didn't know my knees stunk that fucking bad because it's so fucking dry here
That the skin my skin comes off when I pull
So if I'm gonna do like a something like if I'm gonna have like a long day of walking around
I actually put knee braces on my right leg and my left leg
I got the advice from tom segura. Thank god and the doctor told me
I had to do the same. So whenever I take off my fucking
Knee braces I bought two pair
I don't know. I smell them. Just, you know, I don't know the same way I smell my underwear
I don't fucking know, you know, you got to smell your odors to know that you're a fucking disgusting animal
So I smell my fucking knee brace and they smell bad. So what I do is I rub cream
I rub uh, I get like a healthy cream and I rub it on and then I have cbd line
I rub a 1000 milligrams
On both knees and I let it air dry
The part of my underwear and whatnot. So whenever I rub last week when I was rubbing my knee
I saw that there was a little bruising
Mike you're gonna shit when I tell you I saw that there was a little bruising
So what did I do last week? I called the doctor last week because when I wake up in the morning
I feel that my leg isn't like a little baby L like it just feels a little crooked when I wake up in the morning. It's tight
Uh-huh
When I get up, I walk around a little bit. I make my coffee and then I come down and I throw ice on it
And my first 15 minutes where I clean my head out
I just open the back door. I look out if it's sunny out
I go outside and I put the ice on my leg and I just clear out my mind to you know
To see what I'm gonna do for the day and then once the 20 minutes of the ice
I get my notebook and I journal and I fucking go into it
So
I called the fucking the one day it was just getting worse in the mornings. I'm like what the fuck is this that my leg
I mean if straightens out remember I told you last week I went to pt
They fucking straightened it. They twist it. They found no problems with it
But there was a little pain and when I came home again, no pain pills leave and fucking
The bullshit so I asked my doctor last week two days in a row for a drug that I cannot pronounce
Corticosm. It's a muscle relaxer. It's like uh
If anybody knows the name of it correct me like I said, I'm not a pharmacist
I'm not here to tell you the correct names of shit
It's a pill they gave me in the beginning in the hospital and I asked him and he goes
Make sure you take this along with the pain medication. It's not a pain medication. You're not gonna get high
But it's like a muscle relaxer. It'll loosen up your area and blah blah blah
So I kept calling them last week because I ran out of it and I thought that's what it was
So I called them. I called them. I called them nothing. This motherfucker doesn't send me the prescription
He sends me an appointment. He goes come back and see me monday
So I go to fucking doctor monday. They do all these x-rays
They clear me
But then the assistant knocked on the fucking door and she comes in she goes. I want you to look at something
Does your leg hurt here here and they started poking at my leg and he poked somewhere and I'm like, ah
And he goes, okay
They looked at the x-rays
And then they said you might have tore something
Can we do another x-ray to see so I went back in the fucking room
And they fucking did another x-ray from a different angle and the guy goes listen
This is what happened. Your knee is fine
Your knee is a hundred percent
Knock on wood you did all the right things
But somewhere along the line
You ripped like a small tendon in there
That contributes to that pain to that leg
Being fucking uh, whatever so
Tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. It's just a two hour procedure
It's like putting a camera up your ass that same colonoscopy
If they use that same anesthesia, it's not gonna be I'll listen. I'll be home by fucking 10 10 30
11 o'clock. It's just a little slit
just
They're gonna zip it up
And they're gonna send me home. I don't need any opiates afterward
But I won't be able to fucking stand for more than like 10 minutes 15 minutes at a time
For maybe two or three weeks. That's what's been hurting me on the side
So because of that I'm pushing the uncle Vinnie shows
I am fucking
Sorry about this. This is out of my control
Last week they were closed because somebody
Went in there with fucking COVID and they were scared. So Vinnie wanted a dino the owner
Who's a great guy wanted to protect everybody. So
We closed it last week
This week we got more bad news my fucking knee
So I'll be out of commission for a few weeks. We're still gonna be doing the podcast
But it's just sometime
It's the tea something, you know years ago
I don't know if you guys know of a guy named mark denafio
Mark denafio was a great football player. He's a lot little he's 10 years younger than me
But I grew up with his older brother mark was a great football player got drafted by green bay
Started as a linebacker got a signing bonus big deal the whole fucking thing
And he ripped
Not your groin muscle
But a certain muscle in his groin area. This is the fucking weirdest thing
And I this is what it made me think of he ripped this muscle
That only water skiers could rip
Only people who water ski rip this muscle. It's like a little tiny fucking muscle
That no it's like uh-uh the fucking chances of you ripping this muscle are like a thousand the fucking one
Mark denafio ripped the fucking muscle a year off. It was that much of that
You had to go deep in there
Mended and then it was he had to learn how to walk again the whole fucking thing and guess what happened
He went to fucking play the next season and he ripped the exact same muscle on the other fucking side
People have deficiencies who the fuck knows
You know, I'm not a muscle terror
I tore my hamstring last year when I slipped at the comedy store
And now this fucking thing. So what we're gonna do is this
We're gonna push back the shows
for a few weeks see how the leg feels
and uh
I'm also gonna get vaccinated in the meantime
Yes, I'm probably gonna take a johnson and johnson because I'm a pussy
But you gotta give me credit to the least I'm trying
And then we will go out a hundred percent. I think I'll feel a little better
and going back to vinnies doing a little uh
What do you call that what I was doing before every wednesday just working out just every fucking week
Just working out. I think it's time and that said I'll just keep it simple
But I'm very sorry if you had plans this week and next week and if you had plans last week
It's fucking coveted and you know
This is why I tell people I'm living my life day to fucking day. I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow
You know, I'm out of fucking fortune balls. Whatever the fuck they call what fortune cookies
No, not fortune cookies magic e-balls. No, just the regular fucking balls that you know tell you the future
I'm out of them
And I don't know nobody who's working on there is either so
It's a day-to-day thing this life. That's why when people call me down like hey
Can you bro? It's a day-to-day fucking thing. Who the fuck knows, you know, I call you to set something up in there
I've had so many fucking things fall apart lately
You know because of stupid things not just and I don't get mad at them guys
You cannot get mad at people for getting coveted. You can't get mad at a school because a student
You know, I stopped getting mad
Let's get through this let now there's a variant
Let's get through the fucking variant and we can move forward like fucking normal people
But until this happens, I don't know what to tell you
You know, I see all these schedules
I see all these people with big plans fucking, you know arenas and opening back up
Tours again in an ounce, but you're telling me on one hand all this shit's happening
But on the other hand you're telling me we're only going to be a 50% of these fucking big arenas this summer
So I don't know if these bands are going to fly out. I know for a fact
Somebody told me that that death leopard motley group thing is on
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's on in florida april
This is what I heard. I do not know do not quote me. I'm not a fucking concert promoter
I'm just letting you know that nobody knows nothing. Nobody knows nothing
It's a day-to-day fucking world right now. This is what you gotta live with
Um, I'm sorry if you had plans, you know, I had plans too
If you think I'm excited
About fucking going in there tomorrow and going through this shit again
You're fucking wrong. You know, I talked to
Patrick from the stand we were talking he was talking about a situation where
He had a friend that did the surgery and they had to go back a year later
Because your knee gets infected. I don't know. I've tried to avoid everything. I can't I've tried to work out
I've tried to eat clean. I'm drinking water like a motherfucker. I'm taking my fucking supplements
I'm cutting down on a weed 50% as hard as that seems you could tell look at my eyeballs
They're fucking clean guys. I'm I'm I'm trying my fucking artist here
Because I knew that if I kept with the edibles and the fucking band-aids
I wasn't gonna make any progress and that wasn't gonna help you guys
And that's not gonna help me guy. I want you to
Listen to my words on what I'm telling you right now clear your head
If you feel that your mind is controlling you
Or taking you into a different place
Do a restart get to that notebook get that notebook out
Get a restart talk to somebody call people that you love call people that you trust
Do a zoom
I can't tell you listen. I fucking hate zoom
More than I hate hummus. You understand me
I hate zoom. All right. All right. I'm lying
I'm sorry, Mike
I'm sorry
Fucking
I hate zoom, but I'll tell you what I fall in love with zoom because I get to see my friends again
Yes, so it has been it had that has brought a fucking smile to my face, you know
so all these things have
Changed this but in a way for the better like we've all changed
We've had to make adjustments
Some of us have made them, you know, I if you thought
I wanted to end the church. I never wanted to end the church, but
I had no choice. It was time to move forward. There was so many little things
That it was time to regroup and move the fuck forward. We've all had to go through things. So
Listen, man, right, you know, I say that the end of my
Draft Kings read and I fucking mean it
If you have a gaming problem
Call 1-800 get help. It sounds like a joke
And I make it a joke just to alleviate it, but I'm not
If you guys in your heart feel
That you need to talk to somebody
Pick up that call
There's no stigma attached
Dog I've had a call a thousand people
To get to the root of my fucking problem. I didn't know what it was, but I knew by rapping
I could fucking figure this out. I had to get to the root of this
I wanted to know why I was feeling the way I was. What was making me take anxiety pills?
What was making me fucking eat a thousand milligrams of thc by fucking lunchtime?
What was making me do all these things? What was making me take fucking
You know a thousand those pills to fall asleep at night. I had knocked myself out. I'm not like most people
I want to know the answers
I looked so I look within you have to look within
You have to blame yourself look within and go. What the fuck am I doing to myself?
Why is this happening? You know, I've been getting emails from people Joey Almond couple guys. I'm quitting smoking pot
I do not blame you
I do not blame you. I want you to get in touch with yourself
I want you to get in touch with your true feelings. I'm getting emails from people that they quit and booze
I'm not blaming you
Give it a chance
Get to know the real you
Just for one week get to know the real you
For me, listen, I smoke in the morning for appetite, but for obstruction purposes. I'm not smoking. I'm working out. I'm going on walks
I'm working on the guitar. I talk on the phone with Erica. We're putting the book together. Thank god the fucking
Proposal is ready
These are all little achievements that a little achievements, but they're big to me
And they make me go one more day
Do things that i'm gonna make you go one more day
What could make me go one more day if it's talking to this person on the phone?
I don't care if you pull up to the house and talk to them social distance 10 feet away
The weather is warming up now. You could do that, but there's no reason that you should be feeling
What you should be feeling I am not the type of guy that would ever tell you
To go see a therapist, but after this year from what I've seen
And what i've heard in people's voices and what i've read on the internet and the messages i'm getting from you
I'll tell you I see these things online these uh zoom
Psychiatrists that you could talk to
Guys that's an option
If you think i'm in the city and call you a fucking momo because you talk to somebody to get help
I might goof on you a little bit, but i'm not meaning that from my heart
I want you to feel the best that you could feel
You have to feel the best that you could feel right now
I'm doing everything I can in my power to to
Loosen up that I mean my house is great knock on wood
Listen, I love my wife more than I've ever loved her. Thank god because some people aren't that lucky
I looked at her and I knew that
We could either go to fucking blows
Or we could work together and and and make this house the best that it can be
I'm not talking about my big screen TVs. I'm not talking about my furniture or swimming pools or a butler
That's not what i'm talking about
I'm talking about the inside. This is what I said in the beginning of this thing
This is going to give you everybody a chance
to take you
You have to act
Proper on the outside, but most importantly the same way you act inside your home
Inside your home has to be fucking tipped off magoo
Or everything else's background fucking music. I always work. I grew up in a house. That was shit
So I know what it is to feel shitty because your house is shitty your mom's shitty
Your dad and your mom don't talk, you know, all that I went through all that
We've never gotten into those conversations yet because
We never had to but in the book I've been writing and I've been thinking about it
That's why I knew what family I wanted
You know, my mother dine gave me a chance to live with different families
And see different families and different family dynamics
I knew what I wanted my family to be happy. I didn't want a house that
There was anger. I don't want my daughter growing up around that at all
I didn't want a house where my daughter grows up
And sees the mother and father fighting all the time over stupid shit. I don't want that type of house
That's not what I want. I want a loving home
And I want to feel that and extend that to you guys
So please if you're feeling something that you
Feel awkward, you know, I mean listen those uh
Therapy things like 35 bucks. I've seen them really fucking cheap, you know online
I think it's time for some people to actually talk to people and secure too. It's through telehealth not zoom
It's like a totally different thing guys. I'm telling you, you know, uh
People going through things. There's no stigma
I read these emails. I I'm not a therapist. I try to give you love and
push you in the right direction, but
It's time to take care of ourselves. It really is. I'm not talking about
Jumping jacks and whatever I'm talking about your mind
Because mental health is on an all-time fucking rise. So
if it's listening to me if it's
Me emailing back and forth with you if there's anything I could do to help, you know
I'm here to talk, you know, I answer emails on facebook
I answer twitter emails
If you think you want a little bit more personalized and you want to join patreon
We're covered there, but uh
I just want you to really take care of yourselves this time of the year right now
Don't think the party's over. Don't think that this is it. We're done. It's spring. Let's go out and fucking jump up
