Starting point is 00:00:00 Gang, baby gang Good to be here happy February If you believe in it if you practice it You know, I know that a lot of folks out there don't really You know the calendar isn't their thing they do they just kind of go on time overall You know start finish, you know, they just They're more that headstone is really their thing. That's their clock They're not on the calendar like we are but if you celebrate February and you believe in it then
Starting point is 00:00:41 Then uh Then I'm similar to you and happy February Um, you know, I was thinking when I was growing up, they had a fella named Jean was his name and His name was Eugene But they didn't people didn't nobody thought much of them So they just called him Jean because they didn't want to You know probably waste the time on the on the the baguette the extra part of his name
Starting point is 00:01:13 It is say I'm calling him Jean, you know it felt ain't worth the time and Um and He had the thinnest skin. I mean damn you wouldn't even you'd ask him for you cut on a light bulb around him It's skin to so damn thin you I mean just My god You know, you could see you could see what was going on You could see his heart it just pumped and it was heading to his hand and it was heading back
Starting point is 00:01:41 You know come the blood you could see it commuting in him. That's how he was just his skin so thin You know if he was gonna get a pimple hell you knew before you could tell in advance you just see it form It just thin skin really I Don't know if maybe his you know When his parents had made love or whatever they didn't really do it good enough or well, I don't know what happened You know, I'm not a scientist But um But yeah, you'd see, you know, I'm her one time he
Starting point is 00:02:16 Tried to do a cigarette and he had to smoke it from so far away He had to just lean his neck out and get the tip of it because he couldn't get his body that close to the flame Because he'd feel that heat You know, and he was always umbrellaed up people keep him umbrellaed up And so he couldn't do any outdoor sports, you know, Jean, you know Jean couldn't do no outdoor sports because the sunlight would just he'd lose before he started You know he'd be at the starting line He'd write finish on that bitch and lay down. He just couldn't handle the because his skin he only had so much skin
Starting point is 00:02:53 And that's who he was, you know and And everybody thought he wasn't worth much, you know, they didn't even call him his full name And then we kind of got to an age I think it might have been nine or 11 or even could have been seven And when swimming was big, you know people, you know Swimming when I was really, you know swimming was just You know, I didn't know anybody that had a pool till I was probably I don't know maybe 13 probably anyway swimming came out and Jean got in the pool
Starting point is 00:03:32 And Jean got in the pool Swimming was indoors And so the sun the elements they weren't of that that wasn't an issue And dude Since he only had a few layers of skin he probably had three and a half layers of damn skin on him You know, he was just so thin skinned that The water, you know, because a body is what? 79% water probably
Starting point is 00:04:00 You know, if you if you haven't had anything to eat, I bet it's even a little more than that once you put lunch in your body I bet it probably drops down about 79% but Oh But anyway, once he, you know, so your body is that much water once Jean got in the pool, man dude it was He was his skin there was nothing no there was hardly nothing between him and the water of the pool and the water of his body and he was just like a damn
Starting point is 00:04:32 I mean Just like a little salamander You know that it just won a damn scratch off and he was running that bitch back in there I mean, he would just he I mean, he just uh He's that good You know It just took a while sometimes sometimes it takes a while
Starting point is 00:04:55 You know, you don't know what You don't know why whatever you're doing why it is or what you have you don't know Why you have it You know You don't know why you have it You know, you might have one arm and so, you know forever, you're like damn dude You know, where's mother on?

Starting point is 00:08:53 Well a lot uh What have I so? Here I wrote down some stuff in here so just so I could have some idea um things to talk about how I spent my january so um Well a lot of things. I mean, I I I'm mostly You know, I I haven't Uh, I haven't felt good for a long time
Starting point is 00:09:21 You know, I haven't felt good. I have for a couple years and something had been bothering me and I've talked about it on here and um Something had been bothering me. I just felt uh I think there was a couple things going on one I was exhausted And then two something was really bothering me and I couldn't tell exactly what it was or What things it was it was like a damn group of goblins. I felt like And they were hanging out just
Starting point is 00:09:52 Just under the earth. I just kept It was like I had this A lot of anger and I didn't know why um And one of the things that was going on I wanted to I thought that I was getting all I wanted to get off antidepressants Because I thought that was preventing me from having a lot of my feelings You know, I thought it was preventing me from uh
Starting point is 00:10:22 Getting figuring out what was going on with myself like on the interior because I couldn't access my feelings You know the antidepressants kept me at like a comfortable space And it felt like there was stuff that was under there And then also I was noticing about like trying to be in love or um Or you know with relationships and dating I was having trouble getting into like a Any other mode than just
Starting point is 00:10:57 Wanting to be you know doing touch or You know jerking each other or whatever, you know, or just one of it, you know I was getting you know, and then the female but you know what I'm saying like so that's what I'm saying, but um Yeah, I was having a tough time with a lot of that. So I wanted to get off antidepressants. And so that was kind of spooky Because damn well you get off antidepressants You hitchhiking son You hitchhiking You know what I'm saying man, I before that I was in a I was in a uber
Starting point is 00:11:37 I was I was sitting in the back seat Having me a couple of uh, you know Talkies or whatever, you know, uh, Fritos chili cheese flavored and I don't like them But I accidentally picked those up instead of the regular bag because the bags look too simple The bags look too similar So anyway, I'm sitting back, you know, I was in a the Lord's uber, baby. I was on antidepressants But you get off them bitches you standing on the side of the road Yo, shit is raw. You you got your thumb out, baby. That's cold
Starting point is 00:12:13 And it's cold Um And I thought I was gonna take a break and go off to do some do a treatment center, but I couldn't Uh, I started working with therapists heavily and I couldn't figure out like what do I want to go for like what is my real Issue what is really and I didn't know So, you know, I don't want to end up in some center for damn, you know People that can't see well, but I can you know But I'm seeing pretty decent, you know, I don't want to be in there doing like, you know
Starting point is 00:12:49 That little chart to em You know Leftwardy upwardy And I'm just fucking ace in the shit And everybody else in there got a damn, you know, one of those sticks. They're you know, beating or whatever looking for, uh You know, whatever that you I guess you just try to beat the Truth out of the air in front of you. I don't even know what they do with if you have like a bullet Do with if you have like a blind stick or whatever, but um
Starting point is 00:13:16 Or just get the air to tell you What's in it? I don't even that that whole thing's never made sense to me, but um Anyway I'm losing my train of thought But yeah, so I wanted to see what was going on man. So I started and I couldn't find like an exact Place that I wanted to go and I didn't know what for Uh, I just knew that I wasn't feeling good So I just decided to go to meetings. I started going to meetings. Um
Starting point is 00:13:46 for Like They're basically like sex and love addiction, but the real thing you're in there That wasn't my thing. I don't have a sex addiction But I do have like a uh I noticed an addiction and a Interesting relationship with um attention
Starting point is 00:14:10 And admiration female especially female admiration Uh So I started going to a lot of meetings about that and I started going to a lot of AA meetings I was going to two meetings a day. Um Just to be social just to have like a social environment that was like, um A place where people were sharing their thoughts and feelings You know, because I really will I've really got intent on trying to figure out what is what is Why is there something in me that's always, you know
Starting point is 00:14:47 That's always in pain kind of And I'm not trying to have a pity party or anything. I'm just trying to share what happened with me. So So anyway, I got it. I got into um I started going to meetings. I was doing that and I was off the antidepressants and it's wise dude you'll be talking to somebody and like Somebody will pat you on the back and it just
Starting point is 00:15:13 It feels like a pat on the back you never got and you just start just tearing up and it's real You sent you see all your feelings that haven't been doing anything them bitches been milling around some of them are pissed Some of them have been doing damn oxy I mean, you know, they're doing oxy con some of them are on pre-workout You know, some of them have been in zoo culture. There's a lot, you know, they've been milling around So you got all these feelings once you're off antidepressants. I did anyway And I'm not telling you to get off them
Starting point is 00:15:48 Don't do anything that I do ever And maybe you know talk with a doctor, but yeah, I went to I talked to the doctor and then I weaned off and that was that so And I started micro dosing psilocybin, you know, because that's like an alternative so You know, I got like a Whatever dose you the the dose you're supposed to get and started doing that um And I started working my step work and in different programs and different recovery programs
Starting point is 00:16:23 And then So, I don't know who was talking about ayahuasca And it could have been either Neil Brennan or um Jason Ellis, I know we spoke about it when he was in with tony hawk and I talked with neil about it. Oh and a friend of mine
Starting point is 00:16:48 uh A couple friends of mine went Brittany schmid a comedian she performed with me somewhere. She went a couple people went and And so next thing, you know, I'm so I got signed up I got signed up for ayahuasca, man. And uh So I was going I was seeing my therapist. I'm telling my therapist This is what I want to do and they were in support of it
Starting point is 00:17:12 And so like a lot of therapy and like I was getting some pretty good traction with a lot of my feelings and things that were making me upset um And then I had this moment during the holidays too. This was a big part Where You know, a lot of my ish a lot of my stuff has come from, you know, uh I think childhood neglect really I didn't know when I nobody was really tickling me. Nobody was looking at me and loving me And I'm not complaining
Starting point is 00:17:50 You know, it hurts me, but I'm not really uh, I'm not here to complain about it. I'm just telling you what happened So I was home for the holidays And I was down by my mother's house and You know, I'd really just been struggling and I had a lot of feelings because I'm off these antidepressants and um, um And I'd kind of been keeping my distance from my mother I it there's something about the relationship that's been tough for me and I don't know what it was
Starting point is 00:18:26 And I just needed some space um And I went down to her place and I was sitting there with her talking and she giving me a gift and uh And I just broke down and I broke I was just sobbing. I mean just I just like Damn just like Niagara like somebody like some
Starting point is 00:18:49 You know, like some damn real estate wizard had moved a little, you know Eight square inches of Niagara from Canada right down onto my face in Louisiana And I'm just balling Uh, just really just just suffering honestly just say just Just a lot of stuff I think from just probably being young. I don't know And uh And my mom she didn't say nothing she didn't come and put her hand on me or say anything So after a few minutes, I've you know, I got myself together and uh
Starting point is 00:19:27 And I asked I said, well, dang mom, you know, I said it seemed kind of strange that I'm sitting there really suffering and um And you didn't check on me, you know and And she said oh, I thought you were just really taken aback by the gift that I got in you And it was a nice get there was like some vitamins there. Yeah, some Vitamins or something it was it was thoughtful not I'm not this isn't I'm not judging my mother Uh, and I'm not criticizing her
Starting point is 00:20:09 but it just I realized then there's just some disconnect. There's something where she does she did she there's some inability for her to express the type of Affection or attention that I would need From someone in that position And then it started hitting me that this is the way it had always been my whole life My whole life I've been wanting
Starting point is 00:20:39 Just somebody to be there when I suffered or when I was hurting or anything And nobody ever was when I was a child. There was no You know, I don't have any memories of being hugged. I don't have any of that kind of stuff from growing up uh ever You know and I'd always thought that maybe if I do something if I behave a certain way if I Achieve a certain achievement, then I'll get this will this
Starting point is 00:21:12 Something would change in my relationship Um with my mother Who's my biggest fan by the way, I mean she watches the podcast every week and you know and I love her for that And I love her for that uh, but there's just some there was something that there's some And she even sent me a message she texted me later and And we spent time over the holidays after that and stuff But it was just a real telling moment for me that man all my life This is how it had been and I always thought there was something wrong with me
Starting point is 00:21:55 But there's just some disconnect. She just Just probably no one had ever done it to her When she was in pain or when she was hurting nobody had ever Taught her, you know had been loving towards her or whatever. I don't know but anyway Uh So that was like a wild, you know, that was just a heavy moment and it was a lot of things it made me Realize that there was nothing I could do anymore
Starting point is 00:22:27 to get There was nothing on earth that I was going to be able to do to get my to get what I needed from my mother and I'd always thought there was I'd always thought they thought just get You know Even with comedy with with everything I thought, you know, maybe If I can get everybody in the world to love me Then maybe I'll get my mother to love me
Starting point is 00:22:59 Um And it's not that she doesn't she loves me It just the elements that That I need to be loved the way I need to be loved or that a child does No one probably maybe did them to her. I don't know. I'm not judging her or anything. This isn't a judgment Um You know, I'm not trying to talk bad about her but it just was uh
Starting point is 00:23:27 No one I don't know. She doesn't have that. It's almost like a blind. It is like a blind person. They can't see she can't do it She can't do it and it had never been more evident to me and in my whole life I'd never realized it until that moment where I'm sitting there and I am like Man, I was just really just bubbly You know, and there was no reaction from her Um or there was no I'm sure she was hurting for me, but
Starting point is 00:24:05 There's just she doesn't have that thing where The ability to comfort You know, uh, I don't know and some of that I'm still learning. I don't know everything But anyway, so that was a wild thing, you know, and that was a lot because then it made me like a lot of anger I was like man my whole life this is how it had always been like everything made so much sense to me now like Why I'd spent my whole life I'd always become such good friends with my
Starting point is 00:24:38 Girlfriend's mothers and with my friends mothers and like I was always looking for this For this thing for this connection that I just had never had Never had You know and it made me even think when I was a little kid that I probably was really struggling and nobody was right there, you know And maybe that my mother even saw me struggling but didn't have the thing inside whatever that is And I don't think it's a choice that she made I just think it's uh, it's some it's like almost like a autism Um It's like an emotional autism
Starting point is 00:25:28 um And I'm not judge, you know, I can't do all this and like You know, there's part of me that'll always be angry and stuff, but I'm not You know, this isn't about being angry at my mother I can have that time but it's like being angry at somebody who can't Who can't uh? Who can't eat chocolate or for not eating chocolate, but they don't have a um a mouth or a tongue And so you're sitting there just yelling at them for not eating chocolate
Starting point is 00:26:12 But they don't have a mouth or a tongue So anyway, that's a lot of information. I didn't even know if I really wanted to share that and I don't know I don't know if it's the right thing to share. I never know what the right thing to share is sometimes, you know um But I'm just trying to tell you where I'm at. There's other I'll tell you other great stuff.

I got a finally got a great therapist that I was working with and I was just having conversations that were real because I could access my feeling man. My feelings have been like goldilocks You know, they'd been sleeping in my bed, but I wasn't home, baby, you know My feelings had been
Starting point is 00:31:38 I mean it had just been this long game of hide and go seek And now they were right there, but it was also Dude, I was having I mean I had afternoons where I wanted, you know It was really tough And there's some moments where it is still tough uh But it was it was man. It was really really tough. There was moments man where I didn't want to be a lot, bro There was moments where I didn't want to be alive man, honestly, and I don't say I'm not trying to be negative
Starting point is 00:32:15 I'm not trying to tell you that I don't You know that I don't love myself or anything, but it just It hurt You know, I've been on antidepressants for 18 16 16 years. So I there was a lot of stuff um You know, and I don't even know if I should have shared that story about my mom I've been kind of wondering if I should have shared it. I don't want
Starting point is 00:32:44 I don't want my mother to think that I don't love her Um But I just I do want to be able to share what Go because all the all these years I'm sharing about how my feelings are having I'm having a tough time and then now I'm able to get a moment where Oh, I see what's going on here I See why my all like why I uh Why every time I see like a woman smile
Starting point is 00:33:22 Something about it make I have to I need that You know, if it's you know why the attention of a woman it my everything in me turns I remember one night at the comedy store, uh Uh, I think joey d hasn't been up there bruh and he was down He was on you know 7 000. He was on some damn, uh You know, he had a where he was wearing neil diamonds around his neck and he had damn, um You know probably 80 000 milliburts or whatever in him of you know, something magical
Starting point is 00:34:02 He was just spanning baby. He was up there just neil armstrong and with no helmet baby You know what I'm saying? He's that mars daddy, bro. He was nipping on Neptune He was sitting on Saturn baby. He was out there diy moon landing dog um And I remember I'd had a great conversation with him. We just been chatting and having a nice time and Then I walked out on the porch and there was this pretty there was this attractive girl and
Starting point is 00:34:35 I tried to get her attention. I couldn't really get it and I saw her a little bit later in the evening and and And I tried to get her attention. I just I was afraid to approach her and uh And then she I don't know I started talking to somebody and then they she left And I was so I
Starting point is 00:35:03 The fact that she hadn't Engaged with me or meant or just or that I hadn't engaged with her something about it Not but no blame on her But just the fact that I wasn't brave enough to her or would have something about that just that I don't even know I don't know. I have no idea who she even was But something about that moment. I remember that was a night. This was years ago, but it was a night that I relapsed It was a night where I just I threw in the towels, bro
Starting point is 00:35:30 Fuck I threw in a whole load of laundry, dog So it just shows me that there's like it's something about affection An attempt if there's some necessary necessary or necessary, uh Not necessary, but some need for an attention Um That has a profound effect on me and always has always has Um, and now I could see why because I there was this thing that I was never getting And when I saw it between my friends and their moms when I saw I wanted to it made sense why I moved out at 14
Starting point is 00:36:12 Why I got emancipated because I needed something And You know, I needed to be love I needed to be seen and love I needed something I needed something uh And this isn't I'm not I'm not I don't need you to feel sorry for me I don't need that I'm just trying to share my story and it's scary to even share it because I don't even know exactly what my story is But I'm just trying to share it, you know, the first question on this thing that I wrote down is what uh,
Starting point is 00:36:53 Or that the producer wrote down possible topics of discussion. How did you spend your January? So Then I got ayahuasca somebody I talked. I don't know Neil Brennan Um, different people I was talking to had done it. I got on the phone with Aubrey Marcus and he was telling me the It just sounded so much like I needed something different And I needed something to look forward to man because I didn't want to get back on the antidepressants Uh And when ayahuasca came on you have to be off antidepressant for 30 day you got to have a 30 day reprieve, baby
Starting point is 00:37:40 So I'm like, oh my god, I'm already been off for like 40 days I have to this is I got to do this Because the wind out I'm because I'm thinking about getting back on and I still am Because damn if I feel like gene, bro Oh I feel like gene in the sun Man, I just realized that I feel like damn gene I was wondering man. I I was wondering why that story was coming into my head
Starting point is 00:38:18 Wow, sorry, man. I just uh That's how I felt Being off antidepressants. I was missing my skin, man I was missing my skin Dude, I remember I stopped at a damn Starbucks. I was crying. This was a crazy moment. I was sitting there my friend I was like, bro, you got him. I'm balling on the phone because all these feel all this Years worth of feeling come in. I'll just Anything
Starting point is 00:38:52 I see some dad walk across the parking lot with his son and it just would spiral me All these feelings that had been trapped Behind this medication And that might not be what it's like for everybody. This is what it was like for me But the craziest part I remember I invited her one thing that was crazy I I was I was having a moment, man And I had my buddy meet me over at all my friend Tim. Great guy. Meet me at a starbucks He's like, just meet me somewhere man. What's going on? And so I meet him and I'm like, but I'm just, you know
Starting point is 00:39:29 Fuck I'm being a and it's not even I'm being a little bitch. It's just this shit would been in me So once you're off the medication, it's like somebody lights the fuse and it's like the 4th of july But all the fireworks are old shit and like, uh They're all fucking there's no fire. I mean, they're fiery, but then bitch has got a lot of salt water in him, baby It's a lot of weird feelings, you know So I'm sitting there and I'm just emoting to my friend Tim and just telling what's going on and some guy drives Passes like kind of bumper to bumper traffic because I'm facing out from the starbucks on a Busy street and he yells out. He's like he honks horn. He's like gang gang
Starting point is 00:40:10 And I'm just I look up at him and my face is just Riddled with tears, man But anyway, man, uh Anyway, so I wanted to do into ayahuasca. So I signed up I signed up, man, and um And that was scary I was excited about it because I had a goal Because I didn't know how long I could be out there off those meds without a some type of a goal
Starting point is 00:40:54 You know, I was going to meetings every day uh And I'd really kind of isolated myself over the over the years in some ways Something inside of me. I had made me very angry. I was in conflict with a lot of people I mean the reason I did all of this even got off the med and I was just desperate Man I was desperate for something different. I couldn't go honestly I couldn't go on living I couldn't go on living. Uh I couldn't go on living like I was living
Starting point is 00:41:36 You know and that's scary to think man when your life is going I mean you look at my life it would seem to anybody like man And I I I was In pain. I don't know why Exactly. I'm not sure. I'm still figuring it out But I was in pain. I was trying to be as grateful as I could And um But I didn't even feel like myself anymore
Starting point is 00:42:08 I didn't feel as whimsical. I didn't feel as I didn't feel like myself Anyway I don't know man. So you know, I don't know if I should have shared all this and But I want to be able to share my truth, you know and uh And I gotta realize sometimes my truth is I see other people and they're doing great. They seem happy They're doing well and this and that And so I don't want to be me then
Starting point is 00:42:46 I want to be them And so sometimes I don't share my truth because I guess because I sometimes I don't know what it is And sometimes I'm afraid that people won't like it if I do share it Or they'll judge me or And I don't want to be the person that's always not feeling good But that's what I had also kind of become in some ways in my in some ways So but that also propelled me to want to get better, but I just
Starting point is 00:43:32 I don't know everybody loved me and I didn't love me And not everybody but a lot of people loved me and I didn't love me and I didn't know what was going on Um So I got so I got to the ayahuasca baby and damn brah Damn boy Mother nature's got some hard tits baby and she breaks them out And she'll put dude mother nature break out of damn penis and let you slur I mean she really she'll let you slurp on it dog. I mean i'm just saying it is
Starting point is 00:44:06 ayahuasca is like It's going to god's garage, baby It's going to god's garage I didn't know I had no idea I had no idea man what it was going to be like And I did the shit hell dude some people go to damn china or you know not china.

So I you know I took it in you're sitting there and it's really like a meditative thing To me it seems like a meditative meditation additive Because you're kind of sitting there And I'm trying to think more about oh

It's like honestly, it's like God just kind of tells you the truth in a way In a comfortable way though It's like a best friend you always wanted kind of And I just started just certain things came up in inside of me and that were really real things. Um Certain moments and memories uh Um

You're just going through It's like your heart and your brain and god serve up things that I don't know all types of things
Starting point is 00:52:38 um Man, i'm trying to put it into words. It's really hard Uh And the music is so beautiful your brain will just go off on like your your heart will really just go off on a tangent It's almost like your heart gets a brain Um And there was some different things I realized I realized that if I Well, I realized a couple of a couple of kind of sad things popped up like one was that
Starting point is 00:53:17 At some point when I was a child, I wanted to be a girl Uh, because I thought if I was a girl then maybe somebody would love me You know, um And that come it bubbles up and it's like it's such a real When I realized that it broke my heart because it's sad to think that It's sad to think that there's a child out there who Thinks that maybe the thing that's wrong with them is what everything that they are You know and at some point in myself that I thought that about myself
Starting point is 00:53:51 I thought that at my very core at my masculinity That I was wrong. I was Broken or whatever um Or that if I if my if maybe if I was a different gen if I had been a woman then maybe my Parents would love me or whatever there whatever I needed would be provided uh And that so things like that will come up and it's such a real thing that's hit. There's no way it couldn't be the truth
Starting point is 00:54:23 It's so it just grips you And that was really heartbreaking so things like that come up and you're kind of grieving them So I'm just sitting there ball and I'm kind of suffering you just kind of crying silence like and everybody in a circle is doing it so it's not like Uh And then there's these people that are like angels that are like there's a shaman. Sorry. This isn't it's not like Everybody's just like on a zoom, you know, we're listening to some, you know a book on tape. There's a shaman And he's like kind of leading the charge and
Starting point is 00:55:04 Man it was amazing It was amazing and then there's these moments where if you really are suffering And and the shaman I guess he's that they have these these workers that are with the shaman He sends them over to be there with you And I remember one time I looked up and there was this it was a young woman sitting there with me and just sitting and then I'll say anything They just sit with you And
Starting point is 00:55:33 When that happened, I brought a dude I I mean it was like man I Really unloaded because all my life I just wanted somebody to be there with me While I Hurt
Starting point is 00:55:55 I just didn't want to hurt alone I didn't need somebody telling me what to do. I didn't need somebody telling me how to feel I didn't need somebody telling me what would what I could have done better so that I wouldn't have been feeling the way I did Which is probably what I got I got a lot of growing up. I got a lot of you need to do these chores You need to do this you need to do these things you need to take care of yourself But I never got any of the I'm here for you
Starting point is 00:56:29 No matter what I never got an ounce of it So when this person came and sat there, then I blew up again. I'm like, oh my god all I ever wanted was somebody to be there with me while I Wasn't feeling good And so it's not even adults up. It's just moments from childhood that are just trapped in you And a lot of those with the ayahuasca, baby, then things come ripping. I mean they are they're like fireworks They come ripping out of you. What is this plant?
Starting point is 00:57:04 Oh, dang Sorry, I've got a fake plant here. It's saying 119 dollars and this bitch won't leave me alone. No So man, it was just powerful it was a lot There was a lot of things there's things. I'm even embarrassed to even say man You know, because I don't want to sound like a wimp Uh, and that's okay, you know You know, one thing I've noticed about myself my whole life I've shared I've just I've needed affection. I've needed some
Starting point is 00:57:51 attention I've needed people to care Because I didn't have it and so Anything has been negotiable for me in a weird way over my life And some of this I want to share because I know there's a lot of guys out there that kind of struggle with similar stuff that I do You know, I see it in their eyes when we meet after the shows or we meet before the shows or People that come up to me and say, hey, you know, I see it I don't think I'm a rare case in the world or nothing like that. Um You know, uh, and look, I know that a lot of this is all over the place. It's it's still all over the place for me
Starting point is 00:58:34 Um, that was about two three weeks ago and I'm going again in a week and a half To do it again Um, I've had friends tell me that they did it a certain number of times and then they never needed to do antidepressants again I don't know if I'll be able to get there You know, I think, uh You know, I don't know I'm trying so That would be nice
Starting point is 00:59:06 But if not, then maybe I'll I'll have to get back on something And that's okay too. None of this is a judgment if anybody's on a pill or anything. Look Part of me still doesn't know if whether if I should have just got on to a different pill or something, but I don't know if I had another choice the The pain and sodomy was it was coming out of me. It was breaking through it was like I was angry. I was miserable and And I don't know if I if I'll be able to fix myself. I don't know
Starting point is 00:59:37 Uh, but I feel like I'm out here. I feel like literally like whenever they drop that astronaut off on the machine up there Whatever it is some satellite and he's got to fix it or whatever they give him a wrench or whatever. That's how I feel I feel like I'm out trying to fix this You know, uh, but I'm now working with another therapist. I'm doing EMDR therapy um And I try to when I look back in my history. I've tried a lot of stuff to feel better. I've tried a lot of recovery I've tried different
Starting point is 01:00:15 12-step programs. I've tried uh ketamine. Um, I've tried yoga. I've tried different medications. I've tried, uh like a A gut biome thing like, um Uh So I'm proud of myself for trying I'm proud of myself for trying, bro You know, I'm no soft boss dog. Another thing I got into in the past month was uh, jiu-jitsu And that's been helping
Starting point is 01:00:49 That's been helping because you know, I never had a father growing up and this isn't a woe is me There's people's stories out there that are oh That are really harrowing But the only story I have is my own Um And it's okay if my life doesn't fit, you know Everybody whatever every other people are doing, you know, uh I can't
Starting point is 01:01:17 Pretend anymore. I'm not where I'm at You know, um Because it's not fair to me either It's not fair to me either to not to per To be somewhere that I'm not really at sometimes. Um Um So, yeah, I mean a lot of other stuff on the ayahuasca like your Your inner child is right there. So you see all these things you you did as a kid to set yourself up for success
Starting point is 01:01:50 So one thing I realized was like as an adult if like as a child, I took a lot of L's like I set myself up like I went through a lot of grueling moments by myself So I could be successful later And so I'm living my childhood his dreams. I'm living my those are my kids I'm living my childhood I'm living my childhood I'm living my childhood
Starting point is 01:02:16 I'm living my childhood his dreams. I'm living my those are my kids dreams that I'm living right now They're not really my adult dreams. They're my but my childhood dreams. I'm living his dreams And when I look at that it gives it it puts my life in a little bit of a different space Um It makes me really proud of who I was as a kid Which is different for me because I never felt proud All I ever felt was if I do something different or what can I do differently to be loved? That's all I ever felt
Starting point is 01:03:08 And so then the only way I developed any sense of myself was by reactions to what I did So if I started getting loved by people then that's who I was I was whatever I was whatever it I needed to be to be loved And somewhere along the way some of me didn't really develop because I didn't know who I was I don't know if I felt safe to be out in the world. I probably you know
Starting point is 01:03:55 I'm sure at a really young age. It wasn't real. I didn't feel safe. I felt like whoever I was It wasn't okay to be that because I wasn't getting the return that I needed And it was a lot of pressure on my mother my dad was you know a senior city He was all he wasn't around and that was very scary and You know a lot of shit like that, but I'm not trying to get into all that again, but But yeah, so I'm just kind of on this journey and I'm still in the middle of it And Yeah, sometimes I'm ashamed. I'm not ashamed. I just it's scary for me to share some of it. Uh
Starting point is 01:04:55 Because I'm scared I think of what people think I don't you know, which is what I've always been my whole life Probably I'm scared of what people think of me If I'm myself, you know But some cool, you know a lot of neat stuff and uh a lot of adventurous stuff and You know because I would like to be able to have a family I want to be able to fall in love one day and have a family and some of that You know a lot of this old shit keeps me from doing that it keeps me And I don't want to do it and then not you know anything can happen
Starting point is 01:05:36 Who knows if a relationship could do well, but I don't want to I don't know. I just noticed these spaces in my life where it's hard for me It's really hard for me um And one of them is in relationships and jujitsu has been cool because I get to go there and and people help me You know, it's like I can be vulnerable and be like I don't understand. I don't know what I'm doing in this moment in this physical moment And instead of somebody just you know, like sure somebody gonna tap me out
Starting point is 01:06:11 Somebody tap my little ass out, but damn. I mean dude One guy put me on like a damn clip on tie the other day by damn Some dude put me on like a damn Uh cumberbund that dude had me he was headed to prom, bro And I was in a kutrimid that dude freaking wore me down But um But there's moments in there where a guy will help me do something Without judging me or without uh
Starting point is 01:06:50 Giving me any energy that I'm not good enough and I never had that in my life. I didn't have no father I didn't have never had that You know when I was talking with up with Dustin the other day with pourier and he I was telling him that I said man It's just such a magical type of thing and he said man. I know exactly what you're talking about. So I know that there's a lot of dudes in there uh You know and I'm okay man. One of my strongest muscles is my is my is my heart You know, and I'm always been that guy where I got you know
Starting point is 01:07:26 I got tears in my eyes, but barbells in my hands, bro That's always been who I am and I'm not ashamed of that. Um Um, but that's been really cool, man. That's been fun. It's been fun for me to be in a place where I feel safe Uh, and also not safe at the same time, bro, and I tapped a couple clowns out, baby That fredda stare boy, I put it on him dog that hard scarf Some little piglet some little pork chop.
