different rooms yeah it's got a bunch of different yeah like a dmv and shit's in there yeah there's a
bunch of shit in there so that was really cool very very professional like that was my first experience with like because what we just do in minnesota usually
and it's just a bunch of people like trying their best you know i'm saying but um same director and
everything but his his help his cast of characters were like pros yeah they're all like oh i was on
this video and i was in this movie blah blah all the, blah. All the actors are all, you know, got their sheets and stuff.
And it was a crazy big production.
So it was cool.
So go check Prof out on tour for sure.
And I'm glad you're still doing it because I want to talk to you specifically about what happened to you.
You're lucky to be alive for real.
I'm almost dying in January in the hospital on my back, clotted up.
Yeah, I was talking to you through that whole experience because, you know, I had a back surgery too. dying in January in the hospital on my back, clotted up. Yeah.
I was talking to you through that whole experience because I, you know, I had a back surgery
too.
So I'm like, yeah, you know, checking in on you.
And then it just kept getting worse, bro.
It was good.
Dude, I was supposed to have Robert Kelly, who I still, I can't wait to get you on here,
Bobby Kelly, on here.
And I kept telling him, I was texting him like, dude, I'll be out in two days.
I'll be out in two days i'll be out in
two more days and i'm like i almost died i don't know what's going on you were in there for so
fucking long almost a month i was in there it's like over three weeks and and uh did it just get
i mean i clawed it for four days that was what it was it was my back was fine except there was a
small tear and they fixed it.
And they're like, all right, now just lay and chill.
And the laying and chilling.
Oh, you didn't cause that shit.
None of, all this was a medical mistake on Cedars-Sinai part.
I, and all the surgeons.
You hear that?
Yeah.
You hear that, Cedars-Sinai?
I need help.
All the surgeons came in and told me this was a mistake.
This shouldn't happen.
What happened to me wasn't because of lifestyle. It wasn't like you're eating uh improperly you're not exercising
you're smoking too much or drinking none of that it was are you gonna swim or anything i will talk
off we'll talk all night we'll talk all night yeah sometimes i'll get into it sometimes it's
just more uh look here's the thing i'm gonna say. That's exactly right. I don't care how much it's worth.
In the state of California, they cap it anyway.
It's $250,000.
That's what you're entitled to.
That's it?
That's it.
Okay, now if you're-
What if they just paralyze somebody?
Well, then there's tears.
I'm the guy that gets the $250,000.
If there's a pregnancy, if there's a death, then it goes up.
But you're capped at $250,000. If there's a pregnancy? That's the max, though's then it's it goes up but you're capped at
250 there's a pregnancy though yeah if you like someone accidentally impregnates somebody well
i mean they could actually someone could be pregnant and then they fuck up the bait okay
yeah then there's more money accidental pregnancy yeah accidental fuck up to pregnancy okay uh but
anyway i don't want to spend a year and a half of my life going to court. Exactly.
Dealing with this shit.
Yeah.
And I don't care how much money it's worth. I'm not going to sue.
I'm not going to sue.
No, I'm not.
I don't want to.
I really don't.
I have no interest in it because I know what it is.
They're like, look, you're going to have to find a medical professional who's going to go against everybody and say, yeah.
And then, first of all, good luck doing that.
Then you got to come in and do your deposition.
I don't want to spend any more energy i'm glad to be here i mean it'd be nice if y'all paid my medical bills
i shouldn't have to come out of pocket for the minimum i would like that done yeah other than
that i don't give a fuck about this 250 or any of that number it's fake it's not real and in the end
it'll be like you're gonna get eight thousand dollars like i just spent a year and a half of
my life for that fuck that that's how now um but let's talk about you because as i'm in there
laying there and they're telling me i might die i'm looking on social media and seeing you might
fucking die and i'm like what the fuck's going on yeah hold up to that camera right here look at
that shit dude it is so i i get looks at like restaurants and shit. People are like, oh.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I'm like, no.
Yeah.
It's for some.
I'm going to watch.
Like, bitch, I'm happy.
Look at that.
Yeah, it's fucking very obvious.
So tell us what happens.
Tell us exactly how it happened and what happened.
And that's what they said at the hospital too.
Like, are you going to hurt yourself?
Yeah.
Do you have feelings? Are you i'm like no and then finally um uh the er doctor
recognized me oh what's up hell yeah i'm saying so i'm like where were you can you tell me everything
okay so you're on the road i'm doing a show in atlanta okay doing a show in atlanta um and after
the shows i like to take a shower on the bus because I'm just fucking
drenched. You've seen the shows and I'm like, yeah, you're one of the best live performs I've
ever seen. I tell everybody that it is true. You can say that it is true. So I usually take a shower.
Well, after every show, I take a shower and I'm taking a shower and usually I'm on the bus
like alone. No one's usually back there or whatever. Luckily, my DJ Wonka and my homie Cody was on the bus.
And usually there's not anybody on the bus.
So I'm taking a shower and the shower head is just leaking off the connection more than
the actual shower.
So I'm actually showering with a broken connection.
I'm like, this shit's stupid, whatever.
I take my shower.
But at the end, I look back in there.
I'm still naked and shit i'm like let me let me tighten this connection and i'm sitting
there tightening the connection and it just goes and it just breaks it fails and it just goes like
this oh so it's sliced under like that it went one side went like this and and it just like that
and it didn't it didn't break at the thread of the at the thread it broke at like the cast
so like the aluminum cast of the uh broke and you could feel it i kept it for a keepsake and
you can touch it's a razor blade right like sharper than a razor blade like you can touch
a razor blade and not get cut
this thing is gonna cut you even if you touch it and so and do you feel it right away i don't feel
anything nothing it's so quick and it was so sharp and clean i just go and a spray of blood
like fine mist comes out and i'm like and i look at it and i don't know what it looked like before
that what do you see it was it was it was way wide open all the way wide open all the way wide
what do you see you see in tendons and shit bro it wasn't even bloody yet like it was all the white
meat and like look at i mean if you could see camera, like, look at all of the things in there. Yeah.
Look at all the muscles and shit that move and everything.
That's why people go for that spot.
They kill them.
Oh.
Seeing that, it burned in my.
And you're standing there naked.
Burned and it's all the white stuff.
There's white things and then like, so yeah.

Just hold on a minute.
Not this time.
I said, fucking call 911.

lot to process you kick the door open you could be doing some funny shit you're naked they thought
it was like a prank you know my dick's out and everything but um yeah eventually they were like
oh shit you know and so walkers the the worst at a crisis situation and then you got cody who's like
the opposite he's like probably the worst and the Cody, who's like the opposite. He's like probably the worst
and the different,
like he's like the boy scout.
You know what I'm saying?
He had,
he came running
with a tourniquet and shit.
And he's like,
he's tying it up all high.
And I'm like,

I'm trying to take your forearm
from the wrist.

Like,
I'm going to keep my elbow.
around my neck. Why you put it on my neck
like he was like no let's do this with a with a apple cord you know what i'm saying i'm like
oh jesus christ man but that was uh that was after a while so i look at wonka i'm like call 9-1-1
this motherfucker doesn't call 9-1-1 he he runs off the bus and he he uh he uh he goes to the tour manager which takes an additional
two or three minutes to like find her and have her come back and she's got the balls to call 911
so wanka i'm talking to him and he's like man honestly like i wouldn't have even he was like
i would have slipped down fell on my blood and, and FaceTimed my daughter and said goodbye.
That was his plan.
He was like, that's exactly what would happen.
I would have FaceTimed my daughter and said goodbye.
And I fucking passed out.
So I'm sitting there like this, and I'm grabbing it as hard as I can, my wrist.
Have you looked at it yet?
Again, I mean.
Oh, hell no.
No.
There's nothing that's going to fucking take my-
You're not taking
it all i'm i'm i'm squeezing as hard like my life depended on it because it obviously did so
you know cody's doing this thing and we got 9-1-1 on the phone now we got the tour manager on the
bus and stuff cody put my some shorts on me which is cool you know saying so everybody didn't have
to look at my dick the whole time is there are there no paramedics on site at the venue or anything?
Like no one can come over?
Don't they legally have to have somebody there for some shit?
I don't know.
But I mean, people have seizures and shit.
Yeah, right.
You know, like all the time because of lights and stuff.
There's been people who pass out and stuff.
We've been having them drop out.
My shows.
We had a handful of them already.
I heard about that.
For real, dude. For real. And so, like, I don't know. There was no one there. we've been having them drop out my shows no i had a handful of martin left and right for real dude
it's all like i don't know there's there was no one no one there so how long does it take
the ambulance to get to the bus man it felt like a quite a while um and you're just holding it
yeah well we were on the phone with 911 and the paramedics were like well take your hand off uh uh they taught
i said fuck no they're like then you get a towel do this i'm like i'm not taking my hand off like
my the the the cut hand was turning purple i was it was i was losing all was it really i was bro i
was i was holding as tight as i could this this arm was like shaking because i was like after like 15
minutes of as hard as i possibly can you know i'm saying are you starting to feel lightheaded or
anything like that i'm not losing any blood nothing really not i am squeezing hard as fuck
i'm i mean like a tourniquet basically yeah blood is not coming in or out and they're like well
let's you know want to check your wrist to see what the damage is i'm like i saw that shit and they were like they said they told me i was like no i ain't doing that they're
like oh okay i'm like i'm not taking my fucking hand off so i didn't and then the paramedics came
and um that was iffy what do you mean they had that that was the first time where they're like
you know they need to take it all take it off yeah so what happened so there's like i think it's on my
facebook or something there's there's video of me like like like like um grimacing or whatever and
um them looking at it and i just i was like i felt like that was pretty scary moment um and then they
looked at it real quick put it you know then they put some more shit on it.
And,
you know,
you catch any of them,
give each other a look like they were like,
I didn't,
I didn't want to,
I didn't want to look at it again.
You know what I'm saying?
But I like all the people who were around me,
my tour crew and everything.
And there was a couple like,
Oh,
like,
cause everybody's seeing it for the first time.
Like,
Oh,
this is worse.
It was,
it was,
it was,
it was,
it was quiet. and then a lot
of people kind of were like who we suing water pick who we suing bro who we fucking whatever i
don't know man prevost the tour bus who we suing bro i think probably the showerhead company that's
what i'm saying water pick who is the sunbeam who we suing um but the uh the bills were like nothing
which was awesome i think uh so what happens they take
you to the hospital so here's a really dumb thing that i did i was like this is really i'm almost
ashamed to say this they were they were like all right so let's go to the hospital i was like how
much how much nah so stupid they're like well this will be like two grand for the ride it's not stupid
because this is every what every american that's that's stupid though you know what i'm saying
you should not have to be like oh you should not my life depended on it and i i took my negotiate
no you did not i did not take the ambulance get the fuck Put a coupon on your life, bro.
Get the fuck.
I can afford that shit, too.
That's so stupid.
Listen, I don't care.
I wanted to save a couple bucks.
Every human being could figure out how to get $2,500 if it meant a ride to the hospital to save their life.
We all have to figure it out.
So stupid.
So you really take the bus?
We speed.
Do they give you an escort?
Charge you half?
How do you get up there?
So I should have arrived with the ambulance in there because the Grady Trauma Unit,
downtown Atlanta, they got the call.
They knew I was coming.
You know what I'm saying?
So instead of arriving in a fucking ambulance and being shipped right away to the plastic surgeon and shit, I get dropped off in this huge waiting room lobby and I'm still holding my fucking wrist.
So, I mean, this got to be 20 minutes since I've fucking cut it.
And I'm looking, there's hundreds of people in the lobby, all on drugs and shit.
People moaning, laying on the floor and shit.
No, I'm waiting in line.
Hey, my name is, you know, da, da, da.
Okay, have a seat.
And I sit down and I'm like,
I'm going to fucking die.
Everybody else is like rolling around too,
like dying or whatever.
But I'm like, I can't fucking wait
six hours sitting here.
I can't, like my hand was cramping and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, I can't do this shit.
They called me right away. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, I can't do this shit. They called me right away.
You know what I'm saying?
Because they,
if they didn't,
you just got to go up
and take that hand off
and just spray it.
I think I'm going to need to be seen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're too bad.
Yeah,
just start spraying people
with this butt stuff.
I just got a question.
I can only like do that once though.
Yeah.
So they take you back?
They take me right, they call my name like right away because they knew I was there. They're once though. So they take you back? They take me right,
they call my name like right away
because they knew I was there.
They're waiting on me.
They like the plastic surgeon
woke up in the middle of the night
to come meet me there and shit.
And so they take me back there
and man,
the Grady Trauma Unit in Atlanta,
one of the most traumatizing fucking places I've ever been in my life
it was Saturday night Saturday morning oh yeah everybody's drinking everyone was dying
everyone was dying around me every room was full I was in the um the hallway outside him you know
the dude right next to me um was on fentanyl or something like that he just fell
off of a fucking building and he was all crushed moaning and stuff and then and i'm listening and
i'm listening people were like oh we got the man got attacked by baseball bat you know his heads up
you know oh he died boom people running around and i'm just like just like a tear just comes down my
face i'm just like but i am really crying you know because i ain't no bitch the tear was just
i had no control over you know i'm just kidding but so they put me in the fucking hallway and um
they they see me right away like they are amazing like i want to thank the Grady Trauma Unit. Like, they were amazing.
The hardest part of the entire thing was when they had to check it.
The dude comes up to me, the doctor.
He's putting on his gloves.
And it hurt.
It hurt.
Like, it hurt a lot.
Sting? It was like, it was, it did sting. But it was like, I felt like I got hit with a baseball bat in that area.
It was real tender, like even from like here down, like, and it hurt.
And so dude goes, we need to see what we're dealing with.
See if the arteries cut, obviously, you know what I'm saying?
And then, so he comes up and then all these
other nurses start surrounding him and me and there's like six to eight people now and i'm like
in back of my chair and i'm like what's going on and he was like this is gonna hurt i need to i
need to you know with his hands he needs to open it up spread things around and look at it and i'm
like okay he's gonna put his fingers in there.
Give me the Novocaine then.
And they're like, no time.
No time.
I'm like, give me a pill.
Give me a pill.
They're like, no time.
They were like, bro, this is dead ass serious about this.
They were like, bite down on this.
There's a towel here.
I was like, oh.
And then people started to like come around
and stuff like this you have insurance they're gonna hold me they're gonna hold me down like
you're some civil war fan bro i thought this was like what the fuck is this the middle ages like
this is insurance this is what we deal with yeah i'm like give me a no no me up they're telling
you now no we need to do this right around in there we need this right now which i was like okay okay fuck it makes sense i guess you know so they fucking
put a towel in my mouth and then they put a towel over my head and i'm sitting back there like
and then they're starting to grab my arms and stuff so i don't like shake and everything and that fucking that was that was
how long was the worst time how long was he digging in there felt like and it felt like
forever is he trying to make sure everything's not like sever he was he was taking things no
wide open on my inside blood and everything's just pumping yeah no well luckily my uh artery
wasn't slit so there was there was blood from other things but it wasn't like
full like that but he is moving like let me see your wrist so imagine he was doing this but on
the inside like oh yeah i'm moving that to the side moving this out of the way looking at other
things and shit like that with his fucking hands just woke up with those middle of night eyes and shit too i was like
they're like you're doing good you're doing good and i'm like you know i wasn't like screaming or
anything but i was like definitely moaning and uh that shit was really tough so then what does
he have to do is that sewed up so uh stapled what happened this is how
close it was um they so i had damage um just um more so than just the skin but barely any so in
the artery there's an artery there's tendons and they have sheaths over them so they have like these coatings i split the sheath to my artery and
and the sheath to a bunch of tendons but i didn't split the actual artery so i learned about that
from my back surgery like my nerves were uh all that coating was gone yeah so does that grow back
i don't know they put me on my way man that they had they were
busy so you know once they once they figured out um that i wasn't uh didn't have my artery slit
they were like all right you're gonna wait for a long time you know i'm saying so i i waited there
for you know probably four or five hours because ship was going down in there man gunshots coming
in i was just sitting watching it on blood everywhere on the floor people were just probably four or five hours because ship was going down in there man gunshots coming in I
was just sitting watching it on blood everywhere on the floor people were just hustling dude it
was crazy what do they do they stitch that up how do they heal how do they do that they stick liquid
or old school school it was too big to could they give you novocaine or something for that
they did not that you know um someone and did it still hurt that's a weird spot to be getting
stitched up.
It hurts. Like, I'm just thinking in my mind, like, looking at my, oh, shit.
It hurt.
And then the next couple days.
Skin's so thin there.
Yeah.
But it was funny.
Like, a doctor who was digging in me recognized me and he was, like, telling all the people.
And, like, I heard my music bumping in some rooms and stuff.
Like, they started playing me.

Yeah, I was downtown Atlanta.
Do you still shower after your shows now, or do you wait until you're—
No, I still do.
You do?
Mm-hmm.
So I was saying this to Kirsten.
I was like, imagine.
This is the shit that was
going through my mind while i'm laying there watching your stuff play out on social media
i was like imagine being you or anyone but you specifically obviously for this and you've chased
your whole dreams you've set your whole life and everything in your fucking fiber in motion to accomplish this goal yeah and
you you're there and now you're on the tour bus and you're living life and are you seriously telling
me that a motherfucking showerhead could ruin it all the one thing that you've wanted all your life
yeah and you get there and then it's the thing that could kill you. Like, fuck. I kept thinking about that.
Do you think about that at all?
Yeah.
I was depressed for a while.
For like a week afterwards, I just had this dark feeling.
Like, holy shit, we're vulnerable.
We could trip and fall and die.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
Any time.
A fucking jet engine could fall out the sky and like, you know, shit like that happens.

up. The results of switching your dog's food from kibble to fresh can seem like magic. When a senior

by vets, nutritionally balanced, and made from real healthy ingredients to human food safety
standards. It's the best option for dogs at all life stages because it's not kibble, it's not

I was like, God, you're chasing your whole dream. And then something as dumb as a showerhead,
leaking showerhead. And the shit I got away with, the shit you're chasing your whole dream. And then something as dumb as a showerhead, leaking showerhead.
And the shit I got away with. To kill you.
The shit I got away with.
Yes.
We're all jumping off garage, getting drunk, and climbing trees, and jumping and getting
Anyone who gets by at 16 is amazing.
The stuff we all do as kids and shit.
And that almost wipes you out.
You said 16.
That was more like 33 for me.
When that shit stopped.
I was doing that shit.
Well, at about 33, i was doing that shit well you know well in about 33 i was doing dumb shit well have you slowed down since this is that something that made you
start thinking about that i know i know you were just fixing a leaking shower head but has it made
you think about slowing down and and really are uh like you said we're so vulnerable we're nothing
i kind of already was you know what i'm saying
getting more wise um but this isn't really you know stopping much is that one do you hold the mic in the hand a lot it's my mic hand yo has it has it do you wear a guard or anything is it
yeah i did i did for that whole tour and then um i couldn't um i had meet and greets and i couldn't
um the doctor was like don't be touching a thousand people a day yeah don't touch nobody and so um you know i put a wrap over it
and i didn't i didn't i should have went home and had it seen and had and rehabbed it right um
because like you know now my thumb is all up and like you know i'm saying um things are a little they're crazy look at that that's wild dude yeah
um so what was getting to oh yeah so you know um taped it up the crazy part was the first show back
i stayed on the road and i had two days off right after that to recoup which was like perfect
um but you're aggressive man you dive out into the crowd you're not worried about
hitting that
on somebody or some bullshit surfing stopped for sure like i stayed you know and how are you
keeping it clean yeah yeah so we we uh we tried our best we got that like that clear sheet thing
that people put over like tattoos and shit and um what the first show back i didn't know what to
expect and um if i would have popped stitches and shit like that, I'd have probably canceled stuff and just flew back home and rehab.
But that first show, I did it, adrenaline going crazy.
And then Wonka was like my nurse with me and shit.
And we just unwrapped it and looked at it.
We're like, here we go.
And it was like-
It's the first time.
It was still so wild.
Is that the first time you saw it? Yeah's all white and shit yeah and it just the skin didn't look like
it was together it just looked it was still fucking wide open you know what i mean it wasn't
you know those first couple shows back it was it was what it wasn't how you feel now though you have full flexibility yeah yeah you know
get feeling in it yeah um i have to like massage it i'm supposed to massage it so it doesn't get
like scar tissue and stuff and that kind of hurts but uh you know like i'm at home i'm doing pull-ups
again and stuff but um i'm using it it took it took a month or whatever, but it's not like your shit or like back.
It was mostly skin and a little bit of tissue.
Nerves and shit.
I was right back in it though.
Yeah.
Just a few days.
I was lucky.
Yeah.
I continued the whole tour.
Didn't miss a fucking show.
So I was lucky, man.
Really lucky.
So I saw we had some stuff up here on this
uh on this monitor about stuff on your tour tell me about somebody snuck on your bus oh yeah i
wasn't there so this is uh just word of mouth from my driver i was just sitting out there with the
bus the whole time yeah yeah the driver's sleeping on the bus they have their own little bunk i'm doing the show inside he's sleeping the bus is locked i mean i guess he didn't lock his door
to the cab he stays he lives in the cab or whatever but a schizophrenic woman i hope she
doesn't like she listened to this shit whatever man listen she made a decision yeah and i'm not really too familiar with
schizophrenia so like i don't know i don't i don't know man but she broke up a cousin who's
schizophrenic so i know all right am i in danger telling this story then no i mean look i can't say
schizophrenics aren't dangerous but the ones i've dealt with haven't been they're just not mentally well
yeah they don't really do they break into tour buses and demand to see people that one that one
might be a problem yeah i didn't know there were demands she got into this dude's sleeping
and he wakes up to a stranger she's in the cat she's in she goes into his bunk into his bed
She goes into his bunk, into his bed.
And then wake up.
He's like, what the fuck?
What the fuck?
Who are you?
You know what I'm saying?
He's in his boxers and shit.
He's like, what's going on?
And she's like, take me to prof.
Take me to prof.
I've got to see him.
He needs to apologize to me.
You know what I'm saying?
He's been breaking into my house and putting up cameras all around my house.
He needs, you know, I demand an apology.
I got to see him.
And so that's what she was talking about.
So, and then he, you know, he got up.
He's like, get the fuck off this bus.
Boom, boom, boom.
And he kind of like knew, figured out,
like, I can't reason.
You know, I got to be clever around around it so he like dances around the situation and kind of like come on let's get off of the bus and so he gets her off
the bus and um at that point i think there's like security that sees things now that because you
know that they see what's going on and uh this was at the white oak in Houston. Houston. White Oak, great venue.
I'm performing there November.
So very thankful.
And the security came.
She grabbed a bottle and then it heated up again and threw a bottle at him, smashed the bottle.
Whoa, shit.
Jagged edges and shit.
We had enough jagged edges on this goddamn tour.
Oh, yeah.

people at the car wash big big ass man they all get excited and they all come running i'm like
don't do that she's like don't do it and he smashes the window fucking glass all over her no you know what i'm saying
i'm like and she's like stop i'm like the i'm like and i'm trying to talk to him and all these
dudes come together and they're like let's flip the car and i'm like nah we could just let's talk
about this i could probably just open the door. Fuck it
I'm like
Alright, I just leave the wall
So they're rolling a car like this and I'm like what if it rolls the opposite, you know
They're trying to get momentum. It could roll back on you never and I'm like
These dudes today ain't hearing shit i'm
like i'm out of here man let's get right back in my car and just drive away while they're fucking
probably smashing the lady around and shit so it was cool and then another one that um i forgot
about till the homies um brought it up was we were driving through canada on tour through the Canadian Rockies. And we fucking run out of gas, like in a long stretch, long ass stretch.
We fucked up.
And so we just go off like that.
And while, really weird coincidence, while we run out of gas and pull over, a car flips and smashes.
You see it?
And crashes.
Yeah.
We're like, what the fuck?
Like, we're all like, oh, no.
And then we look back and there's this smashed car on the opposite end of the lane.
And so a homie of mine finding Novi on another rapper who was on tour with me, we jumped the lanes.
It was kind of a busy freeway for, uh, for how remote it was. And, um, we're running towards this car and unlike this other one with
this lady, like I can see it's not that bad. She barely, right. You know, this one's like
smashed and I'm like, I'm running up to this car. I'm like, are you ready to see some shit?
You know, like you run up to a car. I'm like, fuck, I'm gonna see some shit. You know, I don't
know. I don't know what to see. And, uh, we get up there and i'm looking on uh underneath and it's like a
whole family you know i'm saying and with a daughter and everything and they're they're
not out yet um the windows are smashed and one guy's coming out but um uh we we i'm a hero
so i helped the uh the girl out and the guy out and the mother and everything they were shaking
up were they good they were good and i'm like like they were crying what do you do like swerved
from a deer or something like what the hell made him flip like it was it was it had snowed and so
there was like patches of snow and shit and then that black ice yeah but they were like i was like
are you guys all three of you are okay they're like yeah
i'm like then fuck this like like that's all that matters you know i'm saying and so then i just uh
let my cape unfurl and i flew away you're long i was like you guys safe okay all right
yeah and i flew away um look i want to ask you about this because i i find myself i don't know i'm i feel like we're the same and like all right this shit happened it's over let's
let's move forward but i've been finding pockets of it coming back to affect me that i didn't
expect i had a guest on and he was driving he clots and it almost kills him and they kept telling
me you don't understand how lucky you are me you don't understand how lucky you are
and you don't understand how lucky you are that you're here you weren't out there yeah because
they were going to send me home the day before and i said to them man if you all would have sent
me home i'm definitely calling 911 for this and they're saying like yeah but you ain't making it
you ain't making it paramedics don't know how to they're just going to keep you comfortable and
get your vitals and stuff enough to get you there where they need to you know what i mean and that
might not be enough time so this guy's starting to talk to me about how he almost died from it
i'm like damn i really am fucking lucky to be alive is it starting to hit you at all like you're
a dad too uh-huh are you you thinking about the kids you You think about any of that? When I was sitting in the trauma unit, I was thinking, oh, shit.
Just about them, really.
And, you know, I've been, you know, fucking, I'm a thinking man.
I think, you know, I think about death.
You know what I'm saying?
How old are you now?
I'm 23.
You got a long way to go, bro.
You know what I'm saying? we can hear you laughing out there
um but yeah uh yeah i think about that shit and i'm you have two kids is it two kids right
and i want to say the first time you're on you or maybe a second time just one yeah you have one
yeah i'll be making i'll be fucking yeah bro man i'm just i just productively fucking i just i just uh it's just everything's so fleeting and
fast like i just try and like enjoy this miracle right now i don't believe there's an afterlife i
think this is what we get my brother and i talk about this it just lights out when it's done i
think it's the most incredible but that that me, that makes it even more incredible. We're floating around
in these galaxies. There's galaxies on galaxies
on galaxies. We've
made up the same atoms. Somehow
the atoms and everything whooshing around
and now here I am out of
that. That's so fucking incredible.
I'm just beyond
like,
it's mind-blowing. I'm thankful.
Just to be here, this is the heaven we get man
like what are the fucking odds it's astronomical dude you can't even think about it so it's like
just to be have the atoms come together poof make me real quick boof right back into the dust like
i'm okay with that you know you're the one person too i talked about that gets it i feel like what
we do is as close to time travel as we can be
right now we get on these tubes that are mechanical and and fully programmed they take us to another
city in a different time zone we do this job and then boom we're back on one and we're back and
it's really weird it's like man what the hell just i just went somewhere and now i'm back home i feel
like i'm living two lives like i feel like i've always been on tour but then I feel like I've always been home when I come home I'm like I never left I
never toured and when I'm touring I'm like I've never stopped this like it's really
strange I feel like I've split out two hemispheres like it's it's a weird feeling
how often does it cross your mind do you think about it every time you get in the shower oh this shit yeah um no there was there was there was a shower on the same tour there
was a shower that was leaking and i really i was like and i i've reached no i reached in there and
i tightened it and i was like uh you know like i had to do that you know i saw it i was like
you need to you need to twist this fucking shower.
You know, my heart was beating.
You know what I'm saying?
