What's up everybody, September 27th is St.
Vibes in Reno, NV and I don't know about you guys but I miss
the way it used to be in downtown Reno.
Bikes lining the streets. It was an event and people would
come out. While we're trying to bring that
back with the baddest Little bike show at Revision Brewery.
Come out September 27th at Revision.

It's a great read. Support a local Reno author.
Thanks so much. Up into this.

(01:40):
Well, yeah, it's like an alley. Yeah, pretty much.
With my wife not knowing who shewas.
That story is crazy right there,too.
How we met without even knowing that we knew each other.
Of which we knew of each other, but without knowing each other.
Damn, what? Yeah.
And then we met each other in Miami.

(02:00):
So where are you from? Here, well, I was born in
Truckee. Got it.
But I lived most. I lived all my life here.
So where'd you go to high school?
Read high school, went to ICDA and I finished graduating at
Washoe High. You.
Went to Washoe. Yeah, I did.
I did Washoe for what was it? They called it Wolf back then.
Yeah. Online.
Yeah, because I couldn't even goto the school, bro.

(02:21):
That's. What I was doing too.
Oh the wolf, yeah. How am I?
Killed it on wolf bro. I did too.
I finished all my school within the first semester because they
gave me all the packets and theysaid hey this is all you got to
do and finish. I said, all right, back, get it
all done, take it in and all right, you just got to take one
test. Did the test the following week.
I still remember. And they said, all right, it's
time for you to walk. Yeah.

(02:42):
So you got no more school. I'm like that.
It's time to make money. So tell me about that.
So you were saying that you were, you were on the streets
for a minute. And I like saying I was in the
streets because I did live a great life due to my parents.
But yeah, I had it to where obviously you want to hang out
with those people that live a different lifestyle.
So you kind of wanted to just gooff of them and hang out with

(03:02):
them when at the same time, let's just say like Fresh Prince
of Bel Air. My parents, well, we didn't live
that lifestyle, but my parents gave me that vibe to where they
were work hard to make sure thatI'm not doing anything stupid.
But I was doing shit stupid justbecause I wanted to hang out
with that kind of crowd because that's my kind of crowd that I
love. But growing up, we did live

(03:25):
technically saying on the alley off of Wells, and that's how it
just all started going. And we just ended up moving to
some valley and just moved on forward from there.
Yeah, it's just, it's just so much going on that I can still
remember how things were going with details.
It's just a lot to go with. Yeah.
So how'd you meet you? How'd you meet your wife, man?
That one's crazy. I didn't even know of my wife,

(03:46):
but we hung out with our siblings.
So I hung out with her brother when we were in elementary and
she hung out with my sister, butwe didn't know of each other.
So she literally lived on the other side of the street while
we lived in the alley of the apartments.
Years passed by and then my bestfriend, I called him, my brother

(04:10):
told me that he's going to go toMiami to meet his girlfriend and
hang out with her. So that was something to me that
was just wild cuz I'm like man, this guy got a girl.
So we flew out there and obviously, you know, we're one
of those things with the boys like, hey, put a good, good word
for me, good put a good word forme.
So he was just trying to do whathe could.
We ended up going and then more and more.

(04:32):
We started talking at 1 led to another.
She lives in Miami. I met her in Miami, but we
didn't talk about our past untilwe started to get to know each
other. So I moved back here because I
was still in UTI in Sacramento for the automotive stuff.
I fell in love with Miami and I just wanted to continue the

(04:53):
automotive industry out there. I should you know, bro, the day
that I graduated, I popped ADUI,but I fought it for a whole
year. I flew out there.
I was hired by Mercedes. I was being one of their
training techs. I was flying back and forth from
Miami to Sacramento once a monthbecause I had to go to court.

(05:14):
The last day of court, my lawyerdidn't even pop in.
He told his friend to come in for me and I lost everything.
So by then me and my girlfriend at that time were just chilling
and I told her everything that I'm going to move back because I
just didn't know what to do. I was just devastated.
Call my pops. I cry like a little bitch.
I ain't even going fucking lie man.

(05:35):
I bought my eyes off. I call them right away.
I'm like fuck that. I fucking.
Lost. How old were you?
Shit man, I was what, 2223? Got you.
Yeah. And your first DUI My.
First DUI. Damn, just because I was doing
so much that I felt like I was accomplishing.
Just because all through high school I was a pothead, hung out
with friends, party like crazy, didn't care about nothing but

(05:57):
just what they call it, be a fuck boy, you know?
So I was trying to be one of those.
And then going into it, I flipped my life around.
College, UTI, college, did everything.
I made him so fucking proud. Then I fucking just hit rock
bottom with it. I thought the world ended.

(06:18):
Got back into Miami at the time my wife was my girlfriend I
should have told her I'm moving back got to make some money out
there because my father owns a business is going to help me out
get me back on it. So we did that whole maybe we'll
just try long distance relationship to where it wasn't
really working out and she decided to move back here.

(06:39):
But as we were talking more in between, we found out that who
she was, how she knew of me, notof me, but she knew my sister
and we were just putting all thepuzzles in together.
So we literally live probably 30yards from each other growing up
but not knowing of each other Damn.

(07:00):
Until we were full adults. So it's like some meant to be.
I think it was meant to be. I have put I put her through
some help but she right there with me she riding hard.
Yeah. Does she, is she helping you
with the business a little bit? Everything.
No, she she, she's a backbone toeverything brother.
I just without her, honestly, I don't even know how to be doing
it because I'm that guy that says fuck it, let's just run it.
But she has to be like, hold on,let's check out what's going on,

(07:22):
how to make it happen. But then she sees, all right, if
you think you can make it happen, I don't know how I pull
money out of my ass and I make it happen, but she runs Diamond.
I'm in the back, I'm just the back on the face.
But she runs Diamond. That's dope bro.
She makes a bread for Diamond. It's crazy how important that
shit is. It's so important to to have
somebody in a relationship with you that's running their life

(07:47):
concurrent with yours, not trying to pull it apart, not
being your opposition. Because man, if I had a
relationship like that, I wouldn't get anything fucking
done bro, you know what I mean? It'd be like walking around with
the fucking ball and chain on myknee, you know what I mean?
And like, having a solid relationship sure does make
everything fucking easier. It also makes you feel fuck
dude, more confident that you can do it, you know what I mean?

(08:10):
Just being able to rest your head at night knowing is fucking
OK. That's a beautiful thing bro,
you know? Because I heard, honestly, I
feel like a lot of success has been happening.
We have two amazing children, got a house, shit, we're running
businesses like crazy. And there's another one coming
up too that I want to speak upon, but not until I get the
full 100% that it is going to godown.
Then I'll start promoting that business.

(08:31):
No, bro. But I have some.
There's some cool shit coming, yeah.
There's some stuff coming. People are just asking because
we kind of post it with other business partner.
But once we get the A, OK, we'rerunning it hard.
Oh yeah bro, that's something cool to look at.
So. So when did you get into
motorcycles? Man, I got into motorcycles.
Yeah. When my father brought a Gixxer

(08:54):
750 and he told me just to driveit, so I didn't know nothing
about a street bike, he said it's the same thing as driving a
quad dirt bike. I said all right, cool, got on
it. I dropped that bitch instantly.
Oh yeah, we all do. Then next scene I got on it
again and I just took off. Yeah.
Started driving his bike like crazy, then went to Miami.

(09:18):
When I was doing it out there, Iwas rolling with just some guys
that were just stunners. They were teaching me how to do
willies. The whole 9 yards Miami scene
with the whole stunt is crazy. Especially there's a there's a
time where like all of Atlanta comes I pretty much everybody
and dirt bikes. It's just gets nasty, bro.

(09:39):
They shut down the whole blocks everywhere they go and I was in
that mess, but I just stopped doing it.
So I told myself I need something to ride my One of my
great friends let me ride his Harley and.
That was a wrap. What was that?
Was that heritage? It was it was my buddy George's
bike. Oh man, nothing's nasty, he.
Just said hey take it, bring it back to my house.

(10:01):
I said alright, once I drove it,I had to buy one, yeah.
George's bike is nasty. Bro I think it's a beast.
I love his bike. His bike is amazing.
Yeah. And so and then you got, you got
your heritage and you wanted to start doing your own thing.
So how'd you come up with your build, what you want to do?
Why'd you want to do it that way?
It all happened just because George invited me out to meet

(10:23):
some of the guys, yeah, that were starting up high class up
here at Bicla. Yeah, they told me you have to
have XY and Z to have a plaque. So I saw all right, George
already has his bike pretty muchchromed out and an amazing paint
job. Chucky had his green one.
Amazing paint job, Alex. I think he already had his one

(10:43):
already painted blue. So I said all right, bet I like
it. And that's when I went with
mine. Just went with the dark red
pattern, but then it was just all black with patterns.
So that's when I told myself I need to fucking do some gold in
this motherfucker. So I straight up took it in and
we'll send the parts out to a company in Arizona and he did

(11:06):
all the engraving. So he so so you it came Chrome,
then got a gold plated, then hadit engraved or had it engraved
and then gold plated that oh. I bought it from Harley-Davidson
Murder black. It was just murder Black by.
So you had to Chrome everything too or get Chrome?
It had to get Chrome. I don't know how they would do
the process, chroming it to Gray, engrave it and then get it
gold depleted. Yeah, I'm going to put a pic
like I'm going to put a picture of your bike because it's it's

(11:28):
nuts, bro, you got. Riding that thing like it has
some scratches. It broke my leg I I already hit
some oil. Bike dragged me like 20 feet
damn and I still ride it. Still love that thing about it.
Yeah, I think it broke my leg. I was like, whatever, I'll still
ride it. So when did you get into working
out, getting healthy? Man, I started working out when

(11:49):
I met Bo Bo Worley Frank. Bo Worley, bro.
Hell yeah. Metal mat anytime fitness and he
told me all about it. I remember going to his first
show in San Diego and that's when I said, you know what?
I'm tired of looking like a skinny guy.
I in high school, they called mebones stick, bones are stick.

(12:09):
They called me that. I was literally a walking stick,
not no me, no nothing. So I told myself I'm tired of
living that lifestyle. So he because of him, I got the
opportunity to know how to lift,how to he he helped me out and
then just go forward. Just started doing it more and
more. Yeah, to where I just said to my

(12:31):
wife we need to open up a gym years later and we ended up
doing it. Damn bro, and where's your gym
at? It's 1270 E Plum UNC.
It's right across the street from Wooster High.
It's literally the Denny's building, gas station building,
and I'm the following building. Oh yeah, that is.

(12:52):
Amazing bro. And so you had a gym.
Here's what's crazy. You get this a lot where people
are like, damn, that cat's lucky.
He had a gym, he had this. And it just kind of seems like
it's an overnight success, bro. But I seen what you were doing
behind the scenes, bro. And I know how much work you put
into that, what you got to say about.

(13:12):
Had a lot of doubts, Yeah. People, it sucks to say.
I have those that I wish for by my side, but they're not Yeah, I
thought they will be by beside me the whole, the whole time,
even till right now. Just they're not.
So I did have those that pushed it and were happy for me.

(13:33):
But then I had those that said they were happy for me.
But I ain't showing it. And those are the ones I heard.
I don't talk about it 'cause it's just one of those things.
You just, you know, you just live on and move on.
But deep down inside, I ain't gonna lie, that shit does hurt.
Just. Like you needed to though, Yeah,
I mean, damn. Like without that a little bit
too, you wouldn't have a need toprove them wrong too a little
bit, right? But it's not me just proving

(13:55):
others wrong, it's more of me proving to myself that I can get
it done. Yeah bro, it's just this is me.
This is what I want to do. This is the last I want to live.
I don't got to prove nobody anything.
I want to prove myself and I still haven't proved myself to
what I want to do. I know I can do more and I'm
pushing for that. Good man.
Yeah, it's crazy how how often Ihear that is like, man, you're

(14:16):
lucky you got everything you have.
Like you're lucky you got the motorcycle, you're lucky you got
the hot girl, you lucky you got the show, you got, you know what
I mean? You're lucky for all these
things, but it's like, it's really not luck, bro.
It's like it's 5:00 AM, dog, youknow what I mean?
It's a lot of five. AM, bro 5:00 AM and it's
running. Yeah, 100% and you guys, you
can't stop. Yeah bro.

(14:37):
Mike keeps running. Mike keeps blowing up.
And honestly, Forestry Live, I'mfucking glad you guys did this
shit. Thanks bro, because I'd be
seeing your guys post like crazy.
The stuff, the videos that I see.
There's some shit that I'm like,man, did that guy really just
say that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's some
badass shit. I repost all your guys and
stuff. I talk to everybody about your

(14:57):
guys and stuff. I feel like you guys need to
lock in and definitely get on their platforms, social media
wise, the whole 9 yard, Spotify,YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, all
of it. You guys need to hear what they
got to say with all the people that they got it.
I don't have crazy stories. Well, I do, but not like that.
But they got crazy people in here that do amazing stories
where you literally got to clickback and say, did that really

(15:19):
come out that guy's mouth or that girl's mouth?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's amazing, man.
I think you guys started something here.
That's a blessing. No, I appreciate it man.
And to to me, it's if you're from here, there's a special
affinity I have in my heart for people that are from here, bro.
So to me, I feel like it's no one is in opposition to me.

(15:41):
We're going to do and we're going to try and win together,
you know what I mean? And it's like anybody that's
starting businesses, bro, anybody that's trying to do
this, but they're from here, like I'm going to find a way to
do this with you. Even if we're doing the same
fucking thing. I don't care, dude, You know
what I mean? Like you're building a
motorcycle a different way than I'm building a motorcycle.
But I've loved that, you know what I mean?
Like we're going to try and do this together because I have an

(16:02):
affinity for people that is coming up from Reno, you know
what I mean? And and I think that's what is
wrong with the present day social media.
You know, everything that things, it's everybody's.
If you're not on my same team, then you're my enemy.
And that shit And that negativity is just something I

(16:24):
just don't want to spread forward in this platform.
This is like, we're all just going to try and win together,
bro. You know what I like?
That you say that just because there I like I said, you know,
Reno to me, I feel like Reno, you have a lot of people that's
just support you, but deep down they don't want to see you
shine. They just hate the fact that
you're doing it and they didn't do it.
Or they're going to come out andsay, well, I would do this or I

(16:46):
would do that if it was, then just do it.
Why do you have to try to bring someone down from it?
Just run it. What's stopping you from running
it? That's how they want to run it.
Be happy for them, support them,man, I can I can tell you so
many people that already reachedout to me that would tell me, Oh
my God, you're opening up with them.
You're going to do so great. I can't wait to be there, bro.

(17:07):
Not once have they stepped in. I've been open up for six months
and nobody of them that have reached out to me and said that
they're going to be there day one, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. Not one comes through and I just
and to me it's like, all right, cool.
But now when I see you, you kindof like dodge me.
But there's no need to dodge me because I'm not going to hold

(17:27):
you to it. You're going to live your life
and you're going to do what you want to do.
I'm not going to tell you to come to my gym.
It's just if you want to come, you're more than welcome.
But if you don't want to come, don't tell me you're going to
come. Yeah, well, I got.
I do. Got a question for you, bro.
There's a lot of people out there that are mad intimidated,
stepping foot in the gym, seeinga bunch of fucking meatheads.

(17:47):
We're all yoked, you know what Imean?
Big ass shoulders, bro, You knowwhat I mean?
I'm, I get that feeling, bro. I totally get that feeling.
And it's definitely a level of insecurity, especially walking
into a gym where everybody's made all the progress you ain't
never made. What do you say to those people?
Because I know for a fact that you got cats that start out bone
skinny that have walked in your dream.
Because I know some of them. You know what I mean?

(18:08):
I love that question. Come to my gym and you're going
to see every shape and form there.
Yes, everybody feels that intimidation just because it's
one of those where social media comes in hard and you see a lot
of bodybuilders come in or meatheads, juice heads.
But if you really go in there, you're going to see a whole
different vibe. It's one of those vibes that you

(18:29):
come in and you feel like, OK, I'm going to get some shit done.
And you're going to see other people that are not meatheads,
that are not buff like crazy that you think you're going to
see. You are going to see them, but
you're going to see the average person in there as well.
There's a lot of people in therethat are average that are going
there because they feel that they can get something done

(18:53):
there, not just because it's of the gym, but because of the
people that are there. Everybody that goes in there, I
shit you not, are humble. Yeah, wide open arms.
Everybody cares. Not one person in there can say
that they're a Dick. Yeah.
I literally made sure of that. I wanted to bring gym to where

(19:15):
everybody can speak upon and notfeel judged.
Even meatheads get judged. Yeah, for sure.
And that sucks because then theyget them put place down.
But then you have a person that's not into it, not into
steroids, because nowadays everybody on steroids, I don't
give a damn what people say. Got you.
It's you don't have to be on steroids to be jacked.
You can be if you want to. It's just different aspects of

(19:36):
what steroid can do for you. But I love it just because I
have other people that are not me heads that come in and they
have full on conversations with me and next thing you know
they're having full on conversations with that me head.
And then they tell me your gym is literally a place where I can
come and feel comfortable. Not where you can go to a

(19:57):
commercial gym. Not saying names but commercial
gyms where literally you are getting judged and you have
people staring you down just because you're doing something
wrong or your form is wrong to here at Diamond.
We help out. Yeah, your average Joe's bro.
Your average Joe's, we help out.We're your average Joe.
We're literally from dodgeball. We're the average Joe.

(20:19):
We're not global. We're not global gym.
Global Gym is a. Commercial gym, Yeah, yeah.
Out here, we're average Joe's where we actually care.
For both So. So what do you think sets you
apart from those two totally different things bro?
For a cat that knows nothing about it.
What separates us is that we're literally going to help you out.
You can ask us a question. You don't got to pay me to help

(20:41):
you out. You don't got to pay me to talk
to me. Come to my gym, sign up and
you're going to see reasons why you want to be there compared to
those that you just go, yes, we are different from the price
range, totally different. That's OK, but.
You come here to get shit done and feel comfortable, you might
have a shitty day. I shit you not, I'll turn that

(21:04):
shitty day positive. Yeah, man, if it ain't me,
somebody there will. Yeah, somebody will make sure
that you can have a conversationwith somebody of what?
Where, when, how, why? Something could happen bad, but
it could all flip around. So that's why I love it, because
everybody in that gym even says it.
They had a bad day. They come in, the vibe makes it

(21:27):
just like, you know what? Fuck, that's bad day.
I'm going to turn it into a great day and I love it.
So I'm always there. My wife's there, the team's
there, coaches are there. Every coach in there is
literally humble, amazing, greatspirit, great minded, can help
you physically and mentally as well.
Yeah, that's the best part aboutit.

(21:48):
And to me, to me, the in my mind, the the baddest
motherfuckers around, right are bikers, right?
The baddest dudes around are fucking dudes that ride
motorcycles. Outlaw cats, right?
And you got all the fucking outlaws that I know in this town
coming to your gym, bro, and that's a beautiful thing.
And I know all those guys, and Iknow for a fact that those guys

(22:10):
are not like that. They're fucking solid, nice
cats, you know what I mean? Unless they don't need to be.
You know, I feel it. Like you said, the outlaw
bikers, everybody sees them and they judge them right away.
Totally, bro. These are some of the nicest
cats I know, bro. Tell me about it.
They'll fight you. But they're the nicest cats I
know. They'll fight you.
For a reason why? Yeah, for sure, because you're
stepping. On them like crazy but if you
open arms to them shit they're going to give you a high 5.

(22:31):
It will bro. I learned that I've been around
the MCS for a very long time. The whole shit I grew up going
around there, I loved it. I love the MC vibes, but I'm not
in that zone. But I know of the MCS.
But. If long as you respect an MC,
they're going to respect you more than you think.
Yeah, bro, it is like that. It is really get what you get.
It totally is, man, you know what I mean?

(22:52):
And it's, it really is that I think it's, it's, I think that
culture, it's synonymous with gym culture for in a lot of
ways, right? You know what I mean?
They're kind of on par with the same things.
It's a lot of mutual respect. It's a lot of fucking trying to
be better than what you are. It's a lot of that, you know
what I mean? So there's some truth to that

(23:12):
for sure. I feel like people don't
understand that people join an MC because they feel some type
of love. Yeah, they gave love back.
Probably. They weren't getting love the
way they want to get love from others.
Not trying to sound all gay and shit.
Oh, I hear you. But that club is going to show
them love, that they didn't get love from where they're coming

(23:34):
from. So it makes them feel great.
Yeah, yeah, they're badass motherfuckers.
Yeah, they'll, they'll whoop someone's ass.
But if you really sit down and talk with one of them, I spoke
with many MC guys and every single one of them, they have
stories, but they're bad as fuck.
I could literally have a dinner with them without even thinking
of anything else because I'm notgoing to see them as a oh,

(23:56):
you're an outlaw. I.
Want to just They're no different.
They're. We believe the same, the same.
We both have feelings, we just we speak about bullshit and
that's it. But I think an outlaw is more
humble than anybody that you canthink of because they have gone
through shit that they probably don't want others to go through.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most dudes in clubs have been

(24:17):
punched in the face. And so there's a culture behind
cats who've been punched in the face, bro.
They talk a little different. They choose their words a little
more careful, you know what I mean?
We both punch. Being punched in the face and
punching cats in the face, bro, You know what I mean?
You just, yeah, we've all been there, bro.
Some of the best lessons I've ever learned in my entire life
were from getting punched in thefucking face.

(24:38):
But yeah, bro, me too. And some of the best lessons,
I'm like, damn, maybe I'm. Maybe I won't fuck that dudes
bitch next time I see him, you know what I mean?
Fucking all that bro. You don't have a whole different
than I. Did I wasn't thinking that part.
Yeah, yeah. It's so fun.
So you're out there starting fights cuz you really fucking
said. I'm definitely, I'll definitely

(24:59):
be like fucking maybe I should think twice next time, bro.
It ain't your problem. She had parts of it.
That's true. There's there's very much true.
She saw you. She wanted Teresa Time from you,
baby Teresa. Time.
She wanted that, she said. Probably fly.
Looking good right here. I'm about to get him real quick.
Let me. Man, that's a good name so.

(25:19):
Where did that? Come, So what's your personal
workout routine like bro? And how are you doing that while
you're trying to run the gym? Is that easier since you worked
there? It's harder, honestly.
I was going to. I was.
Curious, it's harder. I'm running multiple business.
If I can, I get a lift in aroundlet's say 5:00 for a nice hour.

(25:42):
Then I got to go home so I can be with the kids in the fam.
I didn't know that I had to become a teacher to teach my
kids because they got to come home at homework stuff that I
don't know of. So I got to teach myself and do
homework. I figured out how to get done.

(26:05):
Make sure in the mornings I I just run like crazy, run the
businesses, go to the gym, handle what I got to do there.
I work there and I do all my emails.
I put all my office there so I can definitely take care of
everything instead of running around before the gym, I was
working in my car, pull on the whole laptop, pulled it out, did

(26:27):
everything through there while Iwas driving, park, do
everything. Now I could just have one
station, one place, and then if I needed leave to make sure my
guys are good, I run back and forth while the wife hangs out
and takes care of business. But for me to get a workout, I
definitely try to get one in in the afternoon.
But I kind of want to go back tomy old routines and get it in

(26:48):
like at 4430 in the morning because it's out of the way and
then I can just take care of business.
So and it you know that that myth talking to a guy who runs a
gym, What's the diet situation like, Bro?
You got diet dietitians in there?
Yeah, or you got people that canhelp with diet stuff.
I got I got definitely people that can help out for all of
that. I personally don't know of it.

(27:09):
I can say I know. Of you eat whatever you want.
No, I'm on AI. Got a diet plan myself too.
I hire somebody to do my diet plan because that's another
that's a whole ass job. It's a big job, so I give props
to all trainers that do that fora life because it is a whole
job. You got to go in through it,
make sure the macros are good, they're dieting, What?

(27:31):
What do they want to do? Lifestyle, compete or just eat
healthy has a lot. It has a lot of perks.
Yeah, so here's here's a crazy thing is, is I can't, my body
doesn't process carbohydrates. Well, it it, it fucking fucks my
body up. I think they call it colitis or
something like that, you know what I mean?
So it's harder for me to put on heavyweight because I can't eat

(27:54):
carbs the same, you know what I'm saying?
It's kind of a crazy thing, you know what I mean?
That's nice. It's it is crazy.
I still be healthy and work out best I can, but it's a lot
harder for me to put heavyweighton bro, you know what I mean?
Doesn't matter. Like so I have to get real
creative with because that's allI eat is meat and vegetables,
bro, you know what I mean? I can't eat really good.

(28:15):
So that's crazy. You would probably have to add
up more protein. Yeah, but everything's
expensive, man. It's just like they're telling
you, pretty much. Throwing more chicken, throwing
more steak. But at the end of the day, too,
I know you're running around, work, club, family.
Sometimes you forget to eat. That's right, man.
I'm at that point right now where I'm not getting all my

(28:35):
meals in. Yeah, for real.
Yeah, you're too busy in your Yeah.
So it's just I need to lock backin because for the past month I
was I was locked in. I dropped weight, but I gained
muscle, which is pretty crazy because I have this, I have this
in body scale at the gym where it detects your levels and every
time you get on it, it goes through a system that you put
your phone. And so every time you do it, you

(28:57):
put your phone number in and it tracks where you're at
constantly. So what you did in a week or a
month does not matter. Every time you do it, it shows
you what you're doing. Either you're doing good or
you're doing bad. But definitely, I know I went
down on sides just because I've been trying to get some stuff
going, which I'll probably, hopefully everything's going to

(29:18):
be ready for me by tomorrow. Then I can get back on, get back
on track just 'cause I really dowant to step on stage again.
Last time I step on stage, What was it?
My son is 6. Yeah, six years ago.
See Mom, I got a picture of it at six years ago, bro, 6 feet
tall. I weighed about 160.
Damn, I weigh 191 right now. Damn.

(29:42):
I think like a 14% body fat, butat 16, almost 1616165, I was
skin and bone, bro. Anybody can fucking pick me up
and break me. And I told myself I'll never do
that again. So that's what got me more on
that protein. But what was stopping me from

(30:05):
growing how I wanted to grow wasalcohol.
I was bad. Damn bro, so when did you cut
that out? I'm sober 50, 18 months, 16
months on the 28th of this month.
Damn. Was there something that kind of
drove you to like, yo, I'm I'm going to fucking stop drinking?
I almost lost my family. Damn, that'll do it.

(30:25):
Yeah, it's I literally almost lost my wife.
Fucking alcohol, bro. That's devil's juice.
It is wild bro. It's definitely wild when it's
it's here's what sucks about alcohol is it's not wild for
everyone, but it's like, why is it wild for people like us?

(30:46):
You know what I'm saying? Or some people it's wild for it
and some people can fucking. That's the people I envy the
most is the people that can go have a fucking beer or even
party on the weekend, but they're like, they don't.
They've never had a DY. They've never been to jail.
They're not fucking up their relationships.
They're never in trouble, dude. Like that's the shit.
I'm like, how the fuck do they do that?
Because every time I drink something bad happens.

(31:10):
I literally have a tattooed on my leg every time I drink some
bad shit happens bro, you know what I mean?
I literally have that on my leg because every time I drank bro,
something bad happened. You know what I mean?
Every time, every time I was arrested throwing up, it was
never because it wasn't like a DY or nothing, but I was drunk
dog, you know what I mean? So like every time bro.
So it's I I get what you're saying and that's the thing that

(31:30):
I'm envious of of those people is people can drink like normal
people, you know what I mean? What's cool, it's 15 months, you
almost lost your family, and nowwe're sitting here talking about
this new business that you got? Bro that's crazy how quick that
shit works. It really does, now that I think
about it. 15 months, I almost lost everything.

(31:53):
Literally everything. Yeah.
What hurt me the most was, I hate to say it like this, seeing
my kids cry. That one fucked me up.
That's one of the things that I've never whatever want to put
my kids through ever again. It was horrible, but I'm glad
that, I hate to say it, glad that it kind of happened, but

(32:16):
not glad it happened in a way just 'cause it was very, very
dark. It was a shit fucking situation.
I hated it. I to the day I dream of it every
day. Bro I fucking kill myself inside
just cause of the The Walking worthless guy I was at that
point when that time happened. I still can play, I can play it

(32:36):
in my head day by day and I don't think I'll ever let go of
it. And I shoot you now bro.
I as a grown ass man I fucking cry almost every other day just
because it comes back to me in my sleep.
Well, it sounds like you're trying to clear your wreckage.
You're obviously doing a fuckingyou're obviously doing something
right, bro. Otherwise things wouldn't work.
Things wouldn't happen Good if you're not doing good, right?

(32:57):
You don't you can't transmit something you don't have.
So if you're not, if you're not doing good, you're not, you're
not eligible to receive good, bro, you know, and you're
definitely it's happened, bro. Thank you.
I appreciate that. I love the fact that even though
I saw myself as this monster, yeah, I did reach out to a lot
of friends, not one of them shotme down.

(33:17):
Yeah, good. They all supported it.
As in not supported as what the situation happened, but
supported me on how to become a better man because they all knew
how you drank. Bro they all knew I.
Was that guy that literally could fucking drink all day?
Yeah, and I was putting a drink in someone's hand and I was

(33:38):
ruined somebody else's relationship because I just
wanted to keep drinking. I was just fucking up mine.
This block was crazy. Oh, yeah, And it was like there
was another. There was another club here.
And I don't know if you rememberit, that was Ruben's cantina.
Yeah. So like, I grew up drinking
there before I was legally allowed to drink there.
I can say that now because dude's not around.

(33:58):
But I I grew up partying right here, bro, You know what I mean?
Then I grew up walking right here.
And then now I'm fucking doing this here, bro.
So it's meant for you to be here.
Yeah. For sure, you know what I mean,
so. It's, you know, but yeah, I
mean, Ruben's Cantina, Dallas Apartments, it's it's wild how
everything comes full circle. But when we first moved in here
because we're so close to. Like the old, the new.

(34:21):
Record St. The street is crazy, bro and we
were just and now for the most part, if you look outside,
there's cats outside they're just not right there, you know
what I mean? There's a reason for that.
They're not there they're not right out front of here, you
know what I mean? There's a good there's a good
reason for that. During the day.
It's crazy how. Forestry right here.
Forestry live during. The day too.

(34:43):
Shit goes down, Yeah, so. It's not a live show.
We call it live because it's active outside, you know what I
mean? It's very active 24.
Seven it is, bro. During the time sometimes across
the street when my buddy taking care of business on my vehicles,
I see the shit that goes down right across the street right
there. Yeah.
Oh. That's OK, I like that he takes
care of all my. Vehicles and I just chill out

(35:03):
front just because I like seeingwhat happens out here just.
Watch, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just tell to myself. Like man, if I was undercover I
could have popped all these motherfuckers already.
They doing it right in my face right here bro I love.
It crazy dude. It's it's crazy.
They just fucking don't give a fuck dude.
It's wow man. And I, it's crazy because I feel

(35:24):
like now looking back on it too,when I was out here walking
around, I didn't give a fuck either because some days it was
like fuck it dude. If I go, if I go down tonight, I
get 3 hots and a cot today. You know what I mean?
That crazy, that thinking it's something I'm grateful to not
have any more, you know what I mean?
I mean, that's some real shit bro.
So the other question, I was just curious, but what?
What's 1 of the biggest mistakesnew gym cats make first coming

(35:48):
into the gym? Is it?
Mentality. Is it ego lifting?
Ego lifting. Huh.
People that don't know what they're.
Doing coming into the gym, Firstthings first, they want to be
like hell heavy, huh? I can.
Lift this shit hell. No, you don't fucking shut up.
So that's where we come in. Got you.
And. We tired by.

(36:09):
Nah, we go lightweight, so when people see me work out there,
like that's very light. Hell yeah, it's light.
So I put them through a workout with me.
They come back the next day and they're like, damn, I'm sore as
fuck. Yeah, exactly.
Because you're doing it right. You're not just going to hurt
yourself. You're going to hurt yourself
from the best ways, but not the bad ways.
It's a whole thing too. It's just bodybuilding,

(36:34):
lifestyle gym. It's totally different, but it's
one of the most expensive is fucking sports out there just.
Because you would. Literally are so used to saying
I'm only eat lunch, breakfast and dinner once you get a coach
and then you see the shit that they make you eat, you're eating
3 * 4 times the amount that theytell you.

(36:55):
Yeah, that's where it becomes more expensive because you're
eating more than what you think.Bro.
No, that's. Real as fuck, dude.
Yeah, I don't. It's all it is a foreign concept
to me. Bro.
I I grew up Here's a So I need to start working out.
I need to start working out because I got to a.
The reason I got sober at 21 was.

(37:18):
Because I fell asleep at the wheel.
Of my Toyota Corolla one time and it got me sober young, you
know what I mean. And it broke my back and I
walked home that night on paper to get away and it fucked my
back really bad. I had a broken leg that cracked
sternum, cracked ribs and hernia, concussion, the whole

(37:40):
motherfucker, bro. And I walked home a mile that
night just to get just to not violate parole.
You know what I'm saying? So right, bro?
So it's a little nuts, but my L2and my L3 vertebrae are fused.
And that's what's fucked up the most, bro.
And that's what's definitely kept me from doing a lot of
really, I, my exercise has been a lot more everything but the

(38:03):
gym bro. But now I'm struggling with my
back as a 30 year old man. And everybody's telling me the
only way to fix that struggle with your back is to fucking
strengthen your back. You know what I mean?
And it definitely kept me out ofthe gym for a long time feeling
intimidated a lot and literally have a real fucking back

(38:26):
problem, dude. And then I go to the doctor and
they're like, dude, we can sit here and do all this shit for
you steroids and fucking fuse the whatever, but or you can
just go to the gym, strengthen your fucking back and it'll be
better, bro, You know what I mean?
So come on by, I'll take care ofyou.
Yeah, I will do that, but. At 21.
Yeah, 30 now that. Day got you sober.

(38:50):
Yeah. Yeah, Yep, you got years on.
Sobriety I do bro. April 27th. 2014, fell asleep at
the wheel of my car. I was hosting, I was hosting the
booty shaking contest at Brew Brothers on Tuesday nights.
Hip hop night. Oh, I love that place with the
hold on. I got a Tony Tone and MO Ayala

(39:13):
was the host with me and we would host that booty shaking
contest at the Eldorado and it was Tuesday night, bro.
What the fuck is it? Brew Brothers on Tuesday night,
dawg. Shit, I was.
Yeah, for real. Me too, and now well.
Sober, that's the SO. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. So like I was doing that for a
long time and then I and then I came back one night I was on

(39:36):
paper fell asleep. With the wheel of the car.
And that car, because I fell asleep with the wheel of the
car, the my foot fell against the gas so it accelerated the
car over off a rock and the car flipped like that when I finally
hit something bro over by the airport on the backside.
You know what I mean? And so I woke up and my shit

(39:59):
was. On fire and I got the picture.
I'll show you you know, and and I was like fuck, dude, I'm a
violate. I'm not trying to violate.
So I fucking popped out and wenthome and fucking walked.
But I walked with a broken leg and a broken back and a hernia
and a concussion and a fucking cracks turned him in broken

(40:20):
ribs, dude, because that's how bad I did.
That's how insane my disease wasis like my pain was irrelevant.
It was like I need to not get introuble.
I've like you know what I mean? I just need to be.
Anybody know about? That Oh yeah.
Yeah. Until now.
Or like, yeah, that's crazy. That is amazing, Yeah.
It's like that's why I got soberyoung, you know what I mean?
And that was that car crash was April 26th of 2014.

(40:43):
And my sobriety date is, is the next day is April 27th, 2014.
That was the day I was like sitting in the hospital just
fucking. I've lost everything for like
the sixth time before I was 21 years old, you know what I mean?
And was sitting there and I was surrounded by my family and I
asked my dad. I was like, dad, do you think I
have a drinking problem? He's like, fuck yeah, dude.
Yeah, bro, you're fucking. You're an idiot, dude.

(41:05):
So it was like, that was the dayI was like, all right, instead
of trying to. Because I'm an alcoholic, right?
And I'm an addict and I I'll always find more reasons why I
could keep going. You know what I mean?
I do it with everything. I do it with building
motorcycles. I do it with everything.
I always find a reason why. Just because that nut strip

(41:28):
doesn't mean I can't keep fucking wrenching on it, you
know what I'm saying? Like so I'll always find a
reason, you know? And then I just decided to do
that day. That enough?
Was enough. And my like, I was just telling
you my, my biggest obsession up here was like.
Why is it that all my? Friends can drink normal, but
I'm 21, the youngest cat that I know who's sober.

(41:51):
Why did I? Why am I worse than everybody
else bro? And it's just how it happened.
It's actually lucky because we live in Reno, a 24 hour town
where I was able to get the abuse out at a younger age and
fucking get all my wreckage out,dude.
And by the time, you know, if itwas anywhere else, it would have
taken me a lot longer, you know what I mean?
So everything happens for a reason, bro, you know what I

(42:12):
mean? Yeah, I look at you now.
Thanks. Bro I'm trying.
Right, we're all doing this together and you're succeeding.
Yeah, bro, we're amazingly thanks dawg.
Yeah, we're definitely trying, definitely building gold
motorcycles and shit, dude, you know what I mean?
Fine, fine. That's a money pit right there.
It is broke. I think yours is a little bit
different than the rest of our suit.
Yeah, I had to chill back. I had to chill back.

(42:35):
Are your wheels gold? Yeah, they are the front ones.
They're Rose. Gold.
The front one is the Rose gold, I think the.
Front one's rose gold or no? It's dirty gold.
They that's what she said. It was dirty gold.
When I was ordering it, I wantedrose gold, but then I noticed I
was going to do other stuff, so she we got it to a dirty gold.
She said not a clean gold dirty.I love that, that's why it has a
different look. But I tried to define a.

(42:58):
Like a happy medium between a show bike, but when I'm I'm in a
club so I fucking ride a lot. So I'm trying to find a happy
medium where it's like, so my shit's powder coated, it's like
it's gold powder coat. Some of it's gold plated and
some of it's titanium nitrate. But most of my stuff's because I
just I just have to have a happymedium where I'm putting Matt

(43:19):
miles on it consistently where it's going to not fuck up, you
know what I mean? But dude, I think my I would
like to build a Vigla just to say I've done it just to have
one bro, just to have another day where I'm like keeping my
hands busy too, which is nice, you know what I mean?
So I do want another bike too. I.
Want to RIP one? Yeah, you want a Ripper, dude?
I want to RIP one. What are you thinking?

(43:41):
Sure what? Was that where I biked?
My buddy was riding back in the day.
Yeah, it's a Harley to, but whatwas it?
Oh my God, I can't even think about it right now.
And I always talked about it because I always wanted it like
crazy. What was it?
Forgot the name of it, man. Yeah, maybe FXR or Dinah.
Dinah. Yeah, that's what I had before.

(44:02):
Yeah, yeah, I built it. I built a Dinah and I knocked
that off my list. I wanted to dine.
I I. Still want to dine I just
because I just saw him RIP it. I'm like I need that bike.
Yeah, because I couldn't. I was keeping up slightly but I
need. Something I can RIP?
Yeah, if you're going to build abike.
And you're going to build bikes,bro.
Everyone's got to do a Dyna once.
Everybody's got to build that. And everybody's got to

(44:23):
experience the 90 mile an hour wobble on the freeway.
Dude Say mine. Walk that bitch down.
Dude I I hate. What is it?
One 10120 on mine. You caught a wobble.
I caught. A fucking nasty.
Wobble on mine, do you know? Did you track it down you?
Know what it was on the on the bike, yeah.
I looked down and it was like 1-10 around there, but I don't
know if it was right just cause of the big ass fucking front

(44:46):
tire. Yeah, it's a 23 inch so I don't
know if that changes. It definitely changes.
Everything but it, said one. Like 1, I know it was over 100
for sure and it wobbled on me, but was that going 100?
I don't know if it was going less.
Just like when you change the sprocket, it changes yeah, the
speed of it that it says on the diameter.
So I don't know if I really was going under, but I don't know if
I was scary, but I still hit it.Yeah, it it could be that bro I.

(45:09):
That diner would I got that diner and then I would like I
put like mags on it, right? I put like cast iron cast wheels
instead of the spoke wheels. And then I caught a wobble and
then it was like, OK, so I'm going to change the motor mounts
and then something else went wrong.
You know what I mean? And then it was like, OK, I
changed the motor mouse. Now I'm going to change the

(45:30):
swing arm bushings. Then fucking something else is
wrong. Now I'm going to change the
entire like I should have started with suspension.
That was my mistake, bro. It's fucking having a dope
suspension on that thing first and trying to track it down.
I did it the I had that is a story of my life, bro.
I had to fuck it up to do it right the first time.
You know what I'm saying? It's how it is with vehicles
too. Every car, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck them up to get wrecked. So what do you?

(45:53):
What is your advice to these cats who might be struggling out
there, maybe not just in being healthier, getting in the gym,
but cats and maybe want to follow in your footsteps as far
as business goes because this isa huge aspect of you is being a
business owner. Have you had businesses before?
Is this the first thing you've done that's you can say is your

(46:16):
business? Yes, I started off with.
The clothing line. With me and my wife.
And then we jumped on we jumped the gun and did the gym.
But before that I was handed down with my father's drywall
and painting one, but I. Wanted something that.
Was some like you said that I did my own and.

(46:40):
That's. One of those that I will tell
everybody. Just do it.
If you want to start a business,just do it.
Don't talk about it, be about it.
The day that I said I wanted to open up a gym, nobody knew.
Good bro. Nobody knew.
That's so fucking important is to not tell people.
I told nobody. That's why I've made mistakes so

(47:01):
many times in the past, is telling people about it.
And I feel like talking about itmakes you lose the momentum.
And then on top of that you get.Others that want to put things
in your head that kind of like shoot you down all the way.
So I literally told nobody did the financing, got the building.
Once I got the building, that's when I announced it and then it

(47:22):
went viral. Reno knew about it.
It went viral a sort of it was just crazy it everybody knew
about everybody was contacting us.
They want to know already details, but we once I got the
keys in my hand saying all right, it's fucking go time.
Posted it. Everybody was in shock.

(47:42):
They're like, oh shit, So that'swhy you've been quiet, you've
been distant, you haven't been talking to nobody about it,
'cause I my social media, I posteverything that I do.
Everybody loves it. I this is my third account
because it's been flagged multiple times.
Sometimes the shit that I post, people are like, how the hell do
you get away with the shit that you put?
Oh, yeah. So it's amazing.
What was my stories? I have a lot of people that

(48:03):
literally reach out to me and they say I wake up and I have to
see your stories. Oh yeah.
Because it's the memes that I put.
Oh, the memes. OK, I put.
Memes. I love the good.
Memes, dude. I do some crazy memes where
people literally say how the fuck do you get those on your
feeds? I'm like, I don't know man, it's
just a crazy mind. Your phone knows what you like,
everybody. Needs to just stop taking their
fucking self so fucking serious bro.

(48:25):
That's what I mean. God damn bro.
It's like, yeah, I it's OK to laugh at fucking funny memes,
bro, You know what I mean? Some of them I I got.
Flagged because either this person relates to this person,
but I don't know this person. I just post it because to me
it's funny as fuck, but some people take it.
Oh my God, he's shooting fire atme or this and that.
Like no, bitch, I don't know youand I'm posting it because to me

(48:48):
it's hilarious and I don't know of you or whatever.
Because the way when that comes back to me, they tell me, Oh
yeah, this person said this. I'm like, I don't know who that
is. I don't care who that is.
I post it and if it falls on your shoe, then wear it, but
don't get mad because you think I'm shooting fire at you.
I don't know you and I don't care of you because you're not
there for me. So why would I be there for you?

(49:11):
And plus I in general, I don't know you so I'm going to post
whatever the fuck I want. But if you whatever you want,
that's why I. Post it and if you don't.
Like it shut the fuck? Up and don't follow me.
God damn, you know what I mean? And guess what?
When you're commenting, that's engagement, bro.
You know what I mean? I don't know much about that
shit, but I know that if you're sitting here like interacting
with everything I post, bro, guess what dude, Even though

(49:32):
you're hating, you're a fan, bro.
You know what? I'm fan.
You're a big fan. And I love it.
There's people, those people that say, oh, I don't like that
person. Fuck, I don't like that person
too. But I'm going to see this shit
because this shit makes me laugh.
And I don't, I do not care. I don't have to speak to that
guy, but his shit makes me laugh.
I like it. But if you really want to start
something, a business, run it. Don't think about it.

(49:53):
Run it. Stay quiet.
Run it and watch how it grows. It's amazing.
It's a bad ass feeling. Yeah, you're going to.
Once I got the keys, I shit you.And I did not sleep because I
said holy fuck, I have to pay this shit off.
And then the building. It's a lot.

(50:14):
Yeah, it's a lot. It is bro.
Got the keys. What was?
It mid. December.
Painted the bitch. And framed up shit in less than
a month. Hell yeah.
And then the equipment showed upabout two to three weeks after I

(50:38):
finished, still doing stuff. So within two months I had
everything rocking and rolling. I painted the inside out.
I changed everything in there, lights, bathrooms, I I did
everything that I could because I told myself I want a gym that
people can come in here. It's clean, it's loving, not a

(51:00):
sound gay, but it's a loving place to be.
And it's something that I'm still doing.
And people still to this day arecalling it a home away from
home. Oh yeah, it's amazing to where I
can see my cameras and there's people there literally all day
hanging out 'cause I created a lounge.
I created 2 lounges, 1 in my front, front where I'm at the

(51:22):
front desk and one of them in the back where everybody can
hang out and eat their meals andeverything and they're just
chilling. I gave them all.
I got a whole different Wi-Fi setup so that everybody can hang
out and chill and literally, bro, I shit you not, they're
there hanging out more than theyhang out at home.
And to me, I do not mind it at all because I feel like they're

(51:43):
there to get away and be somewhere safe.
And I don't mind that at all. That's your safe zone.
Cool. As long as you're there and
you're not doing nothing stupid.Stay there all you want.
I do not care. But once I get showers, then I
gotta have a problem because maybe my folks might sleep
there. Yeah.
But you're thinking about you putting showers in.
I'm going to put showers in three.

(52:04):
Years or less, I'm definitely going to be putting in some
showers. I'm trying to take over next
door. Yeah, if things go great, I will
be taking over next door and I will be creating some amazing
showers, individual showers, so everybody can literally.
Go to work right after. Gym, because that's what I love
about when I was when I was going to gym, I left going to

(52:25):
gyms to where I can work out, shower right there instead of
going home and go straight to work.
So that's why I want to do the exact same thing for everybody.
Yeah. The first time I heard about
your gym was because Harley was posting the mural that he
painted and Harley's want to paint my bike.
I love Harley and he. That's that's my guy.
Bro, you know what I mean? That's more Reno shit, dude.
Like that's the stuff I love, bro, you know what I mean?

(52:45):
Yeah, once he, once he did my. Face on my bike, that's what I
said. The face on your Oh, he did
your. Yep.
So I had, I had Kevin. KG something like that like
that. He's from Carson.
He painted the bike, did a fabulous job.
Harley painted my face. He he drew my face on there.
Harley gets down. He does bro with his murals.
So once he did that, instantly Itold him, all right, you need to

(53:09):
do the artwork at my gym. Yeah.
And he's still doing it and he'sstill going to do more.
That he's my guy to go to. I don't care that Harley's.
From Hawaii. That's he's from Hawaii.
Yeah. That's a Reno dude through and
through. You know what I mean?
Shit. He's, yeah, he's he's got, he's
all, he's a Hawaii cat, but not really.
He's a Reno cat now, you know, he's Reno.
I thought I was going to take time.

(53:29):
I love that guy. That guy's amazing.
That guy got some stories too. He does have some stories.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's fucking rad, bro.
So what's the next step as far as moving this forward, man?
Is it? Are you, you mentioned the
clothing line thing. That's funny because I that was
my first business too nice as I started.
The clothing line. And again, I did not know what

(53:50):
the fuck I was doing. Dude I had to fail 7 times to
learn everything right bro, you know what I mean.
Likewise. And like now everybody will ask
me opinions and I have answers to almost everything because it
doesn't matter. Like school does not teach me,
bro. I cannot learn from school.
I have to fucking do it. Like building websites, bro,
like building logos, like marketing, fucking everything.

(54:14):
I have to fucking do it and I have to.
It's not always a failure. But most of the time I have to
do it wrong a bunch and then I like.
It's crazy how much faster I've learned.
Agree with you there. I spent so much money trying to
get the right clothing until I knocked it out of the park and
now I have the right shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would you do? Would you?

(54:34):
Did you print it on? Did you get?
Do it the right way dude. I bought a 10. $1000 system.
There you go, and that. Mother fucker is just chilling.
In my garage, I don't even use it no more.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because everything.
That I do now I'd. Learned that I just buy all my
shit's custom but bulk I have toorder in bulk for them to make

(54:54):
it customed amounts. So before I even get it, I tell
them how I want it, they send meout the sample and then I tweak
it if I need to get the green light then order the whole
thing. But they do everything for me so
I don't have to do a goddamn thing.
So I literally paid $10,000 for no goddamn reason but that's how
you learn. But if someone was to tell me

(55:16):
hey I want to start something should I buy that?
I'll tell them first is first, do you want to do it or do you
want someone to do it? If you want to do it, by all
means I'll sell you mine and you, I won't sell it to you for
10,000 because that's what I paid.
But you know, it's brand fuckingnew.
Technically only use it like 10 times to just print some
bullshit out and that's it. It's been collecting dust.

(55:39):
I have somebody else do it all for me so I don't have to worry
about it all. Do your kids come?
Down there and kick it at the gym with you.
My kids are with me there every.Day, it's a second home.
That's why I had to create everything that I did in there.
So I have ATV for them, couch, whole 9 yards.
So they're literally there chilling, doing homework.
They love it just because they see the engagement that happens.
The people that come in, just everybody loves them because of

(56:03):
the love that they get back. Even though they come in.
My kids are just first thing right away.
How's your day? Have a great lift?
Hell yeah, that's. It because I told them I.
Don't care who they are. I was like, you are going to
greet them and you're going to tell them this.
They asked why I told them because that person can have a
bad day and just hearing something from a little kid
saying have a great lift or anything, just something small

(56:24):
can turn their life around. Something small can turn
somebody's life around. And that's why I'm teaching my
kids. No, that's.
Real be humble and humble. Comes back to you if that person
is a Dick to you, who cares? Just fucking.
They'll say hi. Yeah, now it's.
Something I want to talk to you about knowing the guy that quit
that shit, quit drinking. I know a lot of people who don't

(56:46):
do it the way I did it. I don't know.
I'm not saying there's one size for fits all for quitting
drinking if you feel like quitting drinking or if you feel
like getting off of that shit, but it seems to be once again,
another. Really great Ave.
For cats that are struggling with addiction, whichever.
Think that it is from. Drugs to alcohol.

(57:09):
Honestly. Don't be scared.
Yeah, I bet it's one of those things that you do not want to
tell somebody because you probably feel like you're going
to get judged. But you'll be surprised how.
Maybe the person that you feel that's going to judge you is.
Actually there for you. Or just reach out to somebody

(57:29):
else. Get the help, get your mind
right. Don't fall into this dark hole.
Yeah, don't fall into it cuz it can take you into a deeper
position that you do not want tobe in.
Getting the help can definitely save your life and sell those.
Save the ones that are around you as well yeah especially the
loved ones that you want to be around.

(57:51):
Cuz I think sometimes an addiction is not pushing them
away. It's you pushing yourself away
thinking that they're getting pushed away, that they're
pushing you away, but it's more of you doing it just cuz you're
addicted to whatever it is but. Those that love you and want
you. Are there beside you and just
just reach out. It doesn't.

(58:11):
It doesn't have to be that person.
You can be some random person. Sometimes a random person has a
better ear than the ones that you want to hear from.
Oh, that's real, bro. That's crazy how I learned that
too. Yeah, when I was in.
What do you call it? One of those things that you pay
for. So nobody can hear you.
You go to one of those. I forgot what it is.

(58:32):
Therapist. Therapist.
That's shit. My gosh, I can't.
Even see I. Went through a therapist.
Yeah, yeah. And a therapist heard me.
That's just good, dude. I do that.
Yeah. Therapists are amazing.
Yeah, bro, They don't judge you.No, but they'll hear you out and
they'll help you out. They'll, they got some great
ways to help out. So any therapist out there shout
out to you guys cuz you do have a nice ear.

(58:54):
Yeah, bro, that's good. That's true.
I I, I recommend that to everybody bro.
Like I said, being in a program,going to the gym.
And also like, there's no. One-size-fits-all, bro.
Everybody's got different shit going on.
Everybody's got different trauma.
Fucking whatever you came from, that's OK.
But everybody's got different shit, man, you know?
So it's not one size. Some people, man, they can just

(59:18):
go to church and feel better. And I fucking commend those
people. But it's not me, dog.
Like I couldn't just do one thing.
I have to not only keep my handsand my brain busy at all fucking
times, otherwise I'll just go nuts.
I got to go to a program dude, and I got to try and be healthy,
man, You know what I mean? Otherwise, if I'm not doing all
those things and I got to talk to people that are not in those,

(59:40):
I got to talk to therapist. I got to do that shit.
And if I don't and all those things aren't happening, my mind
just isn't right, bro. It affects my family, it affects
my kids, it affects everything Ido, bro, You know what I mean?
I have a lot in your plate too, man.
That's. Amazing though because I
appreciate it. Bro, you coming?
From a long ways. I ain't all live, man.
I need to finish that book though.
Yeah, finish my book, Doug. Let me.

(01:00:02):
Know what you think. Finish that book every time I'm.
Reading something on that book, I'm like this Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then. Someone always at the gym.
Or I got to go home and start doing homework to learn
homework, to teach homework, something that I ain't getting
paid to do. Yeah, that book was just.
So I also run a company, I run AI have a a railroad company.

(01:00:22):
That's your book. That's.
My book and that's and I. Live in hotels, bro, You know
what I mean? Usually I'm gone for one or two
days and I'm home. But I live in hotels, bro, and
you know, I just got really tired of going to the fucking
hotel room and just. Looking at porn bro.
You know what I mean? I needed to do something more
constructive with my time, bro, You know what I mean?

(01:00:42):
There's only so much. I'm on like page 22 of the hub,
dude. And I'm like, I've seen this,
bro, you know what I mean? I need to get healthy, man, you
know? And I was like, fuck, I'm going
to start writing a book, bro. And that's exactly what I did.
I swear to God, it saved my life, bro.
It saved me from going fucking insane.
You know, I can see where porn can be an addiction.
But I don't give a fuck, I'm going to watch.
One of those things like hey fuck.

(01:01:04):
We man, we watch porn. I don't care bro I'm sorry.
I'm not. This ain't that show, bro.
If you fucking, I'm going to watch my fucking porn news.
Yeah, Hey, hey. Power to you baby.
I did the same thing but I it's crazy how people say how porn
can be an addiction until I was just trying to find out.
What do you mean by that? What is a porn addiction?
And then others would tell me and I'm like, oh fuck you.

(01:01:24):
I thought I was addicted. I'm like you, you addicted,
addicted. Like that's some shit.
Well, I think every person. Has a genetic predisposition to
a spiritual deficiency and everybody's spiritual.
If you have the capacity for spiritual deficiency, it can
manifest in a lot of ways. It can manifest in women, it can
manifest in gambling or drugs oralcohol.

(01:01:46):
Dude, for me it was fucking all of the above, dog, you know what
I mean? It was whatever I could,
anything that could Get Me Out of here was like, I'll take it
bro, you know what I mean? So it's like if you're, if you
have a spiritual deficiency and all that means is like you got
this feeling in your heart whereit's not and you're filling it
with something that's not positive, bro.
That was that. That was, that's my problem, you

(01:02:08):
know what I mean? And not everybody suffers from
this deficiency, but if you havethe capacity for deficiency,
then you are eligible to have addiction, dude, you know what I
mean? And how that manifests in your
life might not be the same how it manifests in my life.
But for me, like I said, drugs, alcohol, women, fucking money,
businesses, whatever bro, anything that would Get Me Out

(01:02:30):
of my head. And today I have a reprieve from
that. And it's only contingent on
maintaining my my new found spiritual condition bro, you
know what I mean? So that's amazing cause porn.
Saved me a lot of money, yeah, all through high school.
You live in Reno, bro. All through high school, yeah.
I'm going to have some. Because, you know, a lot of

(01:02:50):
people have been, like, following us from not Nevada.
Yeah, you're right. That's good.
It's like, hey, the bars. Don't close here that's.
Why? We get it quicker bro, you know
what I mean? But it's it's really a wild
place if you think about it bro.Like if you were to explain this
place to anyone else, the bars don't close.
You can fuck women for money legally.

(01:03:13):
It's crazy bro. Like people were like would just
not understand how this is a real fucking place dude.
You know what I mean. That's why it's Sin City.
As an adult I was seeing. How that aspect turns into it,
but all through high school, howI.
Saved my my. Money pocket is you know I'd
masturbate before I asked her ona date.
Yeah. Post no clarity.

(01:03:33):
Is important since I was I was like it's.
Important bro after I got my night is I'm like do I need to
go out with this bitch now all through high school yeah it's
just you know fucking I know andI've done that my.
Test level Swear to God. Dude, the only.
One I was like, oh, I still wantto date that girl became my
wife. There you go dude.
So. You're right post.
Ladies and gentlemen, post nothing clarity post not clarity

(01:03:55):
is very fucking important. Thank you.
Thank you for bringing that up and think about it guys, just.
Know that if you feel like it's coming from a gym owner.
He knows what he's fucking talking about.
High school. But it can still help out.
Now, those that are single men, if you want to save money, you
know, you know, masturbate before you ask her out on a
date, brother. That can definitely help out a
lot too. Because, yeah, at the end of the
day, you're like, do I still? Because in my mind, when I was

(01:04:17):
in high school, I was like. Yeah, she ain't worth it no
more. That might be the single best
advice. I've ever heard, Yeah.
Saved a lot of money right there.
Yeah, $100 is $100 in high school.
I. Had two jobs in high school you
did. What were you doing?
I was. I was at Foot Locker.
And at Jiffy Lube, I was. Doing 2 jobs.

(01:04:37):
In high school. Damn Jiffy Lube's.
Jiffy Lube something bro and jiffy Lube man so we all worked
at Jiffy Lube. We.
All fucking did that shit too. You did.
I did not work at Jiffy Lube. I didn't, but I got, I got
fucking I've, I've worked with cats who've worked at Jiffy
Lube, man. And the reason I don't love the
culture of Jiffy Lube is becausethey would, there's that quota

(01:04:59):
mentality, you know what I mean?Like, hey, we need to get these
windshield wipers sold on these oil changes wrong.
And I'm like, man, you are doingthese poor old ladies dirty
boys, You know what I mean? Just fucking do the oil
changing. Shut up, dude.
Because like, I've got friends I've got, I've got girl like
friends that are women or older ladies or dudes that don't know

(01:05:20):
how to wrench on their own shit.And they're like, man, I went to
Jiffy Lube. I spent $400.00 saying like,
what the fuck did you buy? Some of the best salesman I know
have come out of motherfucking Jiffy Lube.
Yes. I mean, they're upselling like a
motherfucker, but can you guys stop plugging the goddamn
windshields in the air, air cleaners or whatever the fuck,
You know what I mean? Oh, I've, I've been there.

(01:05:41):
I've done plenty. Of shit, just to make a couple
dollars off there. Yeah, the premium.
Air tire, Air in the tire. Talking about how you want
different type. Of air, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do put nitrogen in my. I do too sometimes in my in.
My in my. Fucking motorcycle tires, you
know what I mean? Yeah, I get it.
You know, it's amazing, man. High school.
Saved my life with all that Jiffy Lube.

(01:06:03):
A lot of shit, man. It was one of those terms where
with my buddies, I'll be tellingeverybody, hey, we got to hang
out with those compadres becausewe before we go fuck the
camadres. You know, all through high
schools like that shit, all thatbullshit, the guys would always
be telling me like, you're right, you're right.
We got to hang out before we go do something stupid.
Yeah, that's good call. That's.

(01:06:23):
Probably smart and then a lot oftimes we just.
Ended up getting hella high and we didn't do shit.
Yeah, it was one of those. I had different type of groups.
I hung out with a lot of the high guys and we.
Saved a lot of money just. Smoking pot and not doing a damn
thing that we were going to do. Yeah.
You still smoke? Once in a blue moon.
I hear it's good for I hear it's.
Good. Like I'm totally abstinent from

(01:06:44):
drugs and alcohol, but I. Hear is good for recovery.
Sometimes, you know what I mean.I'm I don't knock green by any
means. I don't knock anything, man.
Yeah, I know. Everybody should do.
Drugs, everybody has to try it once in a life.
Yeah, I just think I shouldn't. I don't really hit it, just.
Because I like the real shit, but I'm always around my kids
and I don't want to see it, havethem see it.

(01:07:06):
So I really don't. If I was to hit it, it'd be
probably a pen, but it'll be here and there.
If I'm really like, yeah, and something's going down, I would
just hate it just to calm myselfdown, just barely, just to notch
it down a little bit. But the kids won't see me do any
of that because I don't want them to know what it is or why
I'm smoking that. Even though when they see people
do vapes, I don't mind it. I don't knock on people for

(01:07:28):
doing it. I just won't do it in front of
my kids. Yeah, that's it.
I just, I really don't mind it on anybody that does it.
I do hate it here and there. If I didn't, if I'm just really
like not having it, but I'll do it when they're not watching but
they're always with me so I haveto get away just to get a big
hit and that's it. That makes sense.

(01:07:48):
What are your socials so people can find you diamonds and all
that. Social media.
I have plenty of social media. Ones the one day if you want to
get to know the gym, it's diamond diamond fit club.
Mine is chorizo time where I'm going to be having all my other
platforms on there as well. But if you really want to get to
know whom I am or the status of what I'm doing next, follow

(01:08:09):
Diamond Fit Club a lot. It's going to go down there.
If you want to get a quick laughand just see some bullshit
memes, just follow me and you'llsee some crazy shit that you'll
be wondering how the fuck do I have that on my platform and I
haven't got booked yet. Hell yeah.
Hell, it's my third one. Like I said, Chris has got.
Some really cool things coming. Maybe you represent the

(01:08:33):
Northwest Nevada and Reno reallywell, man.
And this is an important thing and the culture that we're
building here is a +1 and you know, we, we can all do this
together and we can all shine together.
And that's, that's all I want for this.
You know, what I mean is to keepdoing shit like that and
bringing cats up with like minds.
I think you're doing an amazing job for Street.
Live, I think it's one of the best podcast out here, to be

(01:08:55):
honest. There's plenty of them out there
that I've heard seen, but I really, really feel like this
one is going to go just skyrocket.
Thank you bro It's amazing. Love hearing everybody here,
love seeing everybody, the motivation you give everybody,
the speeches that you do with everybody.
Thanks bro. You are doing one fabulous job
and I can't wait to see who you have next.

(01:09:15):
Thanks, my guy. Chris, I appreciate you.
We'll catch you next time bro, my man.
Hello 11.
