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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
And then somebody comes along and just tells you to hold something
Anyway, let's get into it, baby
There you go, baby
And there you go right there that's eddie, uh
That's eddie nine volts with the come up
and um
Yeah, good to be here. Happy to be back on a solo episode. Uh, thank you guys for your patience. Um
um
What's been happening a lot
A lot occurred over the past
I think it's been maybe six weeks
Uh since I was in here doing solo
and um
I want to thank everybody for their support
Uh through messaging through
um mail
You know, we've got a lot of uh
You know hard mail
You know, um
You know boxed boxed. I thought boxed messaging and uh, you know
Licked mess licked mail that people sent and uh, I just want to say thank you for that
Um, we'll do uh anthrax challenge soon and open that up
And also I want to thank you guys for um, I want to thank you for uh, just the support
And coming out to the shows over the past
six months
you know, um
As the tour was kind of getting its feed and
You know the old special was the was coming out and the new material was making its way in
It was a lot of transition
and um
And man this weekend this past week we went to florida
And I felt like it was the wheels were on baby
I felt like that thing was in four wheel drive
so uh
Just thank you to everybody that's come out in the different cities. Um at the end of last year and just for the support
I know a lot of you guys come you you don't even care about the comedy you just care
You just want to show support
You know and I feel that I want to let you know I feel that and uh
Uh
Yeah, and just
I want to thank a lot of you guys just for loving my for for loving me when I couldn't even love myself at times
You know, um
I want to thank you for that
so, uh
It's hard for me to feel that kind of uh
It's hard for me to feel it. It's hard for me to feel when people care, but um
I'm doing my best and I and I see it and uh
And thank you. I just want to say thank you very much for that support
um, what's going on man
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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'm going to the Super Bowl
um
That's going to be exciting. You know, I'm going to try to pop down to mardi gras
uh
But then so but I want to tell you a little bit more about what happened, but also I got to tell you
um
That we got some uh tour dates. I got to do oh and I did an ayahuasca. I did ayahuasca

So anyway, that's I had a lot going on. I was going through step work. I was uh,
You know, I was
Doing really good therapy man. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. I mean they're doing
whatever
They're doing the damn cough bat or whatever over there. They're sucking on but um
I uh
I did yeah, I mean at the place I some people go to chile or uh
Costa rica, you know foreign Honduran somewhere
you know
I went right off the interstate man
In los angeles. I mean this she you could almost hear the cars going by sometimes
And it was with a group it was with a really uh renowned group
And that and I it came highly trusted from a couple friends
And uh and so I went I signed up
And you go in there and everybody you're in this big circle and every they have a bunch of altars kind of built with all these different little
It doesn't feel wicked. It's just about like doing Nate just like really getting back all the gods are on the altars all the
Most famous gods anyway
You know
Yeah, all the famous gods are on there and so you know there's that and then just you take the you drink one meta you drink another and I didn't know anybody there
That's how desperate I was there was another one that was like 10 days later
And I was like, I don't know if I can get to 10 days later
without either getting back on medication or uh
Or just I don't know if I can go I just don't want to wait
I don't want to wait
and uh
So yeah, bro. 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
And they're playing beautiful music. I mean damn
Like somebody stole uh
Jesus Christ or Gabriel's playlist or whatever they somebody snagged it
You know like somebody beat, you know
Like somebody squeezed, uh, Beethoven's eardrums right into the speakers. I mean, they're just
They're playing beautiful music
And uh
and
And yeah, and you're sitting there and then this you kind of start to meditate in the next thing, you know your meditation kind of just goes to a new place and man
I started crying you start. I started emoting tears. Just I'm not gonna lie
I started emoting tears. Just I mean just damn like I was a dispensary like I was uh
You know a suboxone clinic and I'm just this shit's just dripping out of my face, baby
Like methadone this shit is just I mean people just kept pressing the serving button and I'm just
Like when you do that extreme wash at the car wash and that they you know, the big blasters come on
Bam bam bam bam bam bam. That's what I was. That's where I was at
And my just tears is flowing out of me
just grief years of just
grief coming out of me
And little things start to come up. 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
Dude, I yeah, and I I would go drink water like three or four glasses of water
And then I wouldn't even have to pee later and I get thirsty again because I was just ballin. I mean just like
Some realizations people that I needed to make amends to
You know, uh
A next girlfriend came up in and it told me that oh, you know, I really had uh
Neglected that relationship for myself. I should part of me wanted me to try harder in that relationship things like that where you're like, oh, wow
It's almost like your heart gets to talk
And your heart says like hey, uh, I really this I really wanted uh, this happened
um
And you really are tall you start to talk to like this inner child you this is how this this part sounds wild to some people but
You start realizing that there's this like the young you the little you
Is always been inside of you and alive

Um
The ayahuasca was really I mean it was just you're sitting in a circle and people are bombing
People are emoting they're sharing, you know, like sometimes people are laughing. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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. I fucking put him in a fucking deep fryer dog
praise god
um
This show isn't all about me. This has been a lot. Uh

But anyways, I thought maybe you could uh
Give Orlando a good word and maybe get some of your your friends to give it another shot
Well, look when you go there and see
Well, look when you go there and do champion shit like I showed up and did you have a different experience
If you showing up doing mediocre stuff dog if you out there peddling, uh, you know, uh
You know thick biscuit recipes or whatever them boy, you know, we're fucking alopecia treatments or whatever them boys came to town to do
I don't know
But we showed up and put the roll in rock dog
We showed up and did it right. Is Orlando weird? Yes, it's weird. Okay. It's really weird
There's a lot of sunlight. There's disney
It's a you know, it's a great
You know, there's long the days are longer. They're a little bit. It's a pedophile's, you know
It's the produce section for a pedophile
Fresh as it gets baby. So
It is weird, bro. But
Damn, we gave it hell, baby
Uh, all right, let's get another call that came in man
See yo, it's good man
Struggling a bit right now, you know, uh, I looked at you
and looked up to you
when I was getting clean
and giving up, uh
Giving up that space of the dark arts, you know what I mean and not letting it control my life anymore
Um, and I guess just
You need to vocalize it man, and I'm
beat myself up a lot
I feel like I felt my kids and my wife again, but I uh
I relapsed
The other day, um
I'm sure what to make of it a guilt chain and
You know everything else that falls in line when that that happens man, and uh, you know
If you had any instances like this, you know
Make me share
Kind of what it was that got you over that hop
Made you not even if you had just one flip up, you know what?
Yeah, brother. Thank you for the call man. And yeah, I think just sharing it with someone
So you're not feeling or you're for just for yourself. You share your feelings now. You got more than one person
carrying the load
I uh
Yeah, I've relapsed man a bunch
I've fallen back. I've tried. I've not even known if certain programs are for me and I've restarted the programs, you know, um
I just got through
Nine steps in one program man and had a start over
You know, uh
It's it's a journey man
It's a journey, you know, what is not, you know
You're you're never going to tell your wife or kids or think to that you didn't try you're not trying
so
I don't know. The only thing I know is that that the I do believe that those programs work. Um
And
and
It's okay. I'm not like, uh
I don't want to condone you not giving it your best effort, but you can only give it what you're willing to give it
You know, people get better when they're able to get better and when they're ready to get better and
um
And I'm sorry man. I'm sure it probably hurts that you are having a start over
Uh or have had to and um
But you're not a bad guy
You know
And
You're not alone
Phew
So
Yeah, just try again
If you feel like trying again
You know, um
I just want you to be happy
You know, I just want you to live in a space where you're happy
And I just want your sibling your kid, you know, I don't want if you have kids man. I don't want you to miss out on them
You know
One thing I do want you to do. I want whenever you spend time with your kids, man. I want you to
Look them in the eyes
You know be there with them
Let them know you love every single thing about them
Let them know you love every single thing about them
Even if you got to name every single thing don't name the freaking
You know penis or you know what I'm saying don't name like the dirty parts, but or not dirty, but don't name the crotch
But you know what I'm saying, you know
Name the things about them. You love name the characteristics about them. You love get that in them
Get that in them, man

But yeah, dude, it's scary. I've had a lot of friends overdose in the past few years
Um in the past two years. I think six or seven
You know, um
It's heartbreaking
It's heartbreaking that that's where we are in the space of humanity where that's how much we love each other that there's things like this out there
It's heartbreaking that we are
We are feeling broken as human beings
Um
We may realize in the future that the diversion out of like being tribes and out of the woods and into society was a total
Wrong move and we may end up back in
You know in the trees, man
Um, I don't know
Uh
But it is scary, man, and I'm sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss. There was a guy who used to do the audio for this podcast named sherv and he took care of the audio for a long time and
uh
And he the same thing happened to him he overdosed
On a some bad pill or something and I still think about him. It breaks my heart
I don't really know an answer
You know, but I appreciate you sharing and letting us think about your friend with you for a second

You know, we keep going baby. We don't stop gang gang dog gang gang
Oh, that's a wrong song
Well, the young and the old
The sick and the cold
The ones just long to get out of control
The ones that are calm
And the ones that'll fold
And everyone's standing around the table
The meek and the mild
The weak and the wild
The ones who won't speak this mean to a child
Those who have lived with their feet to the fire and for a very miserable jailer
Hey, I love my home ain't gonna quit
And that goes double for you
They're gonna do more good
Gonna talk less shit
And that's about all I could do
Hey, man, baby
Now the free and the chain
The simple plane
The ones that just can't seem to hit where they aim
The ones that get by
On their family name
Those who have no idea
Those who have no idea
They're calling on
The freaks and the prideful
The peaks and the offals
The ones that just wait
To their dreams are all sly
For the most too afraid
To admit they didn't lie
To the martyrs
With no soul to fall
Hey, I love my home
I ain't gonna quit
That goes double for you
They're gonna do more good
Gonna talk less shit
And that's about all I could do
Gonna do more good
Gonna talk less shit
I don't know if I'll talk less shit, but
Gang gang, baby, be good to yourselves, man
You deserve it
