What was going? So?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Like, we found her house and then we like did
a couple of runs around it, a couple of laps
around it, check it out, and it was gated. So
I was like, fuck, dude, we can't really like poop
on the sidewalk as public park property. So then I
was like, wait, I can like fucking get a boost
up to the little fucking gate, little fucking tower thing

(04:15):
and like lean over and take a shit over the
over the gate. So that's what I did, and yeah,
it was it was great. Dude.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
How far how far off the ground were you.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I was only like six feet so.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
You skydove a poop into her driveway.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, it was great. And I was like holding on
so I couldn't fall over, and I just let it
go because like I ate Chick fil A right before,
and it went right through, dude, and I was like, boys,
I gotta take a ship. Dude. It was like happening,
you know. I was like so excited that like the
poop was coming on. I had like push it a
little bit before to make sure it was like one

(04:49):
hundred percent coming and then yeah, I just let it
rip right her driveway. I hope she sees it, dude.

up and save it or something.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
I don't know when you went to UH with any
of them, And I mean you're taking shit in the
leaves driveway, so like you had to wipe at some point.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh yeah, yeah, I like jumped down from the fucking
tower and then like ran across the street with my
pants down, and then like they had toilet paper for me.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh you can't.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
But I fucking wipe do with the toilet paper though,
Like I threw it away. Yeah where though there's a
dumpster right there on the sidewalk. Thank god. It was
trash day, so all the dumpsters are out on the
sidewalk and I just threw it away. But I fucking
wiped down, you know what I mean? When you wipe down,
Why would you do that? I'm just so used to
wiping down. I don't know, dude, I've done it since
I was a little kid. So like that's how I

(05:46):
wipe I wiped down. I think that's why my balls
are brown.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just because you're just constantly on them. Yeah, there's just.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Just poopy nuts is fucking stained forever, dude.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
So I was talking with poopy.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, it was great.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I was talking with poopies yesterday. And we want to
see like what the Guinness Pickle World records is for
the highest poop ever recorded, and see if maybe we
can get on like a tall parking structure or you know,
possibly large skyscraper of some sort.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Now, don't we just climb this fucking ceilboat.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Fucking you listen, if you want to climb the sailboat,
I will film. Yeah, if you take a poop from
the top of that sailboat, I will be or more
than impressed. I would be more than impressed. So you
grew up where I want to. I want to hear
about this. Give me poopies from like zero to twelve.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Okay. I fucking was in my dad's ball sack and
then he met my mom at this bar because fucking
get the I was. I was the fastest one, dude
into the egg. I was fucking swimming fast, dude. I remember,
I was fucking swimming fast. And then I made it

(06:54):
to the egg and I was in my mom's womb
for like nine months, dude, and I was like, dude,
is there, Like, are we getting out of here anytime
soon or what? And then fucking this other fucking semen
dude was like, dude, we're not getting out of here.
And I go, well, if you fucking be quiet, you
can listen and you can hear her voice. So I

(07:15):
knew I was coming out of the womb soon, you know.
So I came out. I fucking came out fast, my
mom said, And then what's fast? Find fast?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh so she just queafed you out?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, damn yeah, bless her heart. But dude, yeah, shout
out mama, pooh Robin Robin Halverson. She's a legend. But
so I came out of her puss and then and then,
uh no, I shouldn't say I fucking fucked up. I
love you mom. So she had labor with with old

(07:51):
Sean mcinnernie in Redlands Hospital. It's some like crackhead town.
Now like I don't I don't like really I recommend
like going there, like living there. But yeah, we grew
up in Highland, a little like community and Riverside, and
I went to Highland Elementary and then yeah, I started

(08:15):
going to kindergarten and first grade and shit. But I
fucking got diagnosed with ADHD when I was in kindergarten.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'm fucking stunned.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, I was guessing. I was like jumping from desk
to desk to desk, like yelling and shit, and the
teachers were trying to stop me, but I wasn't stopping.
So they called my parents and they go, you need
to come pick up your kides jumping from desk to desk.
And then I like had some doctor's appointments and shit,
and they diagnosed me with ADHD. So I was on
like riddling. Since I was on like in like kindergarten,

(08:44):
I was taking nine riddle in a day.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Do you still take it?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
No? I stopped in fourth grade because I was over it,
like it would make me like a zombie. You know.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
How'd you stop?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I just give it to my brother to sell.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh okay, so you were just like I'm done with this.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, I stopped. But then they know, they're like, you know,
take your meds today. I was like, fuck the meds,
Like I was so over it. But yeah, So I
grew up in Riverside and then my parents split up.
So my mom was My mom and dad met at
this bar in Sanbordino Valley. My dad was in the
Marines and he was had a like a second job

(09:20):
and he was like the bouncer. So at the bar
when the closes, they would like invite girls to stay
for after hours. So my mom was one of the
girls that he invited to stay for after hours. And
that's how they met, and then they conceived me, and yeah,
and then they they got a divorce when I was

(09:41):
in third grade because my dad was like raging too
hard and she wanted him to stop, but he wouldn't stop.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
What was he doing, like drinking drugs.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Drinking drugs, like going to Las Vegas and like gambling
all his money away and shit. And yeah, my mom
told me this story like a couple of months ago.
I never heard this before, but I guess, like MGM
grand would like give my dad like money to gamble
with and like get him a hotel room and shit.
And I guess this one morning, like he shows up,

(10:11):
like comes back to the hotel room at like six am,
comes back to the hotel room at like six am,
and they're like, well, let's go get breakfast. And my
dad goes, fuck, I don't have any money for breakfast.
And my mom goes, what the fuck, Like you don't
have any money to fucking support your fucking family, Like
you just gambled all the way. So they got a

(10:31):
divorce and and then my mom remarried to my stepdad,
Scott Ellis. He's he's a legend. He still takes care
of my mom and they're they're still together after like
twenty years or something.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
But was that a really important part? Because I have
a stepdad, and for me, I would say, like my
most stable parental figure was probably my stepdad growing up
and so like when your dad's going through that was
how important was that role that he filled for you
while your dad kind of fixed himself.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah. Yeah, my dad was definitely fixing himself at the time,
and like it was a big role. You know, he
like had to take care of these two kids that
weren't even his, you know, So like I give him
props for that, Like he didn't have to, you know,
but he took us under his wing and like taught
us a lot and took care of us and took
care of his family. You know. But I remember like
my dad coming to pick us up for the weekends

(11:26):
and they get in fights and ship. It was gnarly damn.
I don't know, dude, Like my dad would probably start
talking ship or something, and then my stepdad would like
like say like fuck off or something. They'd start fighting.
But that was really like traumatic, you know, like growing
up seeing my dad and my stepdad fight. You know,

(11:46):
it's kind of fucked. But they got past that. They
like fucking made amends and ship and then like yeah,
and then we moved to Missouri after after they are
together for like a couple of years because my stepdad's
family lived in Missouri, his mom and dad, my nana
and pop Pop. So we moved to Missouri to just

(12:09):
live a better life and like have them, you know,
like raise us in Missouri. And that was pretty bad ass, dude.
Like I liked growing up in Missouri. It's called Carthage, Missouri.
It's but I like Springfield and Joplin, Missouri when that
big tornado was and fucked up the whole city. But
it's kind of next to the Ozarks.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Oh okay, so we'd.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Go like table Rock Lake and ship for like vacation.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I feel like everybody knows where that is, not because
the Netflix special. Oh dude, that's a great movie.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
So I was going to church camp in the Ozarks too,
with like twenty people touching my head speaking tongue, like
trying to make me speak tongue.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
What the fuck?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, I went to a gnarly church.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Growing This explains so much. So tell me then, I
gotta get I gotta get into this with you. So
I was raised Catholic and I'm just not a religious person.
Are you, Like, do you look back on that and go, Okay,
that really like distorted my image of religion.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
No, I loved it now because like I religion was
it was like Methodist, Baptist or some shit.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I don't think that's a religion.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, it was like a cult, dude. It was like
it was like a cult, dude. But yeah, there was
like only like maybe thirty people or forty people for
the church, and it was the same people.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
He goes to church on Saturdays and Sundays.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Well, I was there all week long, dude, because my
parents were the deacons. My stepdad and mom were the
deacons of the church.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Was it like scientology, dude?

Speaker 1 (13:36):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Are you sure?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
It was just it was just like you know how
they dance around and put their hands up and ship
and they're all like fucking love and life. They're just
like full of God. It was pretty rad, dude that
now that I look back on it, I was like, dude,
I know a lot about like religion now. You know,
like not a lot of people get to like experience
those kinds of churches, right, you know, so it's like
pretty hardcore. Like I'm like, definitely, like I could be

(13:59):
a pastor, dude, you could. You should.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I don't know what, what what are you waiting for them?
Like you should if you were a pastor I mean
you could. You could definitely change.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Some lines for sure, Dude, I could do it definitely.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Like, hell, you'd be really good. Yeah, you'd be really good.
I think you would be good.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I'm not mocking God, but I love you God. But yeah,
like I really like lead the God after all those
times I almost died and I did it, So it's
kind of like there's definitely a God that saved my life, you.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Know when you were growing up then, because you talk
about like you believe in God and all that, so
and that's awesome. So do you you're you're you have
adhd you go and get on ridd aline and get
off a ridd alin. You're probably bouncing off the walls again. Yeah,
look at you know you have trouble sitting still.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah I do too.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm the same way. Anyways, when did like the crazy
stunts start? When did like the one's like the first
time you were like you did something in you were like, Okay,
that's great footage or I'm just fucking insane or whatever
your thoughts were behind it.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
You know, Well, there was no cameras when I started
doing my dumb shit. You know, I just did it
kind of for the attention and like to fit in,
you know, right, because I was like the misfit, you know.
So like I like moved so after Missouri, I moved
to Carlsbad, California in like eighth grade. So I moved
to Carlsbad, California, fucking bugle boy, fucking Shorgiane shorts, a

(15:33):
bugle boy shirt, and everyone's wearing like bill Obong hurly
and shit. So I was definitely like stuck out, you know,
like who the fuck is this kid? You know? And
then like that's when I was like, fuck, I gotta
fit in, you know, And I started like throwing pine
cones at the vans and shit, like all the soccer
mom vans. I started like throwing pine cones at the
vans and shit, and like getting in trouble pretty young,

(15:56):
you know, and like who the fuck is this kid?
So like I would I'm visit though. I'd come visit
my dad in the summers when I was living in Missouri,
and I met the local surfer kids and like we
became friends. So when I moved, when I moved back
to Carlsbad for good, they're like my fucking day one friends,
you know. So I hung out at the beach every
day with them doing dumb shit. I remember, like the

(16:20):
first dumb shit I did was like fucking take a
shit in the street. And that's like how I got
my nickname were I was like fourteen, so oh.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
You got this nickname early. So this wasn't even like
this is like beginning of high yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah. And like it sucked though, because like I took
a ship in the street, we're watching Jackass. It's kind
of a full circle, like we're watching Jackass when it
first came out on MTV, and then that night we're
having a sleepover at my friend Charlie's house, and that
I was like all amped on the Jackass ship. My
friends were like not too stoked on it, but like

(16:54):
I was pretty amped on it. And I was like
I want to do something stupid tomorrow, you know, And
like tomorrow came, you know, that day came and I
totally forgot that I said that, and my friend's like, bro,
you said you're gonna do something stupid today. I was like,
oh fuck. So I like I was like, fuck, I
got kind of take a shit right now. And then
my friend Ricky's like, bro, go take a shit in

(17:16):
the intersection, like fucking right in the middle of the intersection.
It was like a four way stop, so there was
like cars and shit.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
It was like a busy It was a busy intersection.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Not too busy. It wasn't too busy at the time,
like Carlsbad was pretty like pretty mellow at the time.
And so I went. I went to my friend's closet
because I didn't want like my face to be shown
or anything. So I got his old Halloween costume. It
was a gorilla mask and gorilla gloves, and I fucking
put that on. And then I'm like standing outside the

(17:46):
intersection on the sidewalk for like ten minutes because I
was so nervous. I was like, fuck, am I really
gonna do this or what? Like I know I shouldn't
be doing this, you know. And the fucking neighbors saw
me because like a week before we dressed up like
Mormons and went door to door and like we're like
we're gonna preach the New World and ship dude, like
they already knew who we were, so they saw us

(18:06):
out on the fucking sidewalk again, they called the cops.
So like I didn't know that the cops were on
their way, so I went out, pulled my pants down,
I started taking a ship, and all of a sudden,
the fucking cops roll up and all my friends like
ball dude, they like fucking ran away and got away,
and I was stuck there like trying to stash the
mask and the gloves so I wouldn't get caught. And

(18:27):
I was just like got caught red handed, you know,
so I got Yeah, so I for real yeah, so
like like fucking I got arrested. My friends like went
back to my friend's house, grabbed the beach cruisers. I'm
in the back of the cop car. They're like riding
the beach cruisers around like poopies got arrested. You know
that My name wasn't even Poopies at the time, Like

(18:49):
my my name came like a I think like a
couple of weeks after.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
But then like how quick did the news spread that
you took any ships in the middle of an intersection?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
So it didn't even fucking that wasn't even like the like,
that wasn't even like the case. Like rumors started that
week at school, like everyone was like, why you like
took a shit in the intersection. That's stupid because no
one really understood, you know. So the rumor started that
I fucking shit my pants and my friends fucking loved it. Dude.

(19:19):
They're like, oh yeah, they're fucking like saying he shit
his pants now and shit, so like they like went
went with it, and then like they're like, yeah, he's
the kid shit his pants and shit. I was like,
fuck this, dude. I was so fucking pissed. And then
like this chick at the surf shop like said I
smelled like shit one day or some shit, and then
like she called me like poopy pants or something, and

(19:41):
the boys fucking loved it. So my my name became Poopies. Dude.
I hated it. I was like I was really bullied
in high school too.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, so this didn't really help.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
No, dude. It fucking sucked, dude. Like, and I was
kind of like the misfit getting bullied, and like they
like my friends were my friends, but I feel like
they weren't, you know what I mean. Like they'd have
my back in like gnarly situations, like if I'm getting
beat up or something, they like come and like beat
the other guy up, but like they would fucking stop.
They wouldn't stop calling me poopies, do you know. I

(20:14):
was getting so pissed, and it was like it was
kind of traumatizing, you know, absolutely, because like I stopped
going to high school because of that. I dropped out
when I was a sophomore, and like my friends never
stopped calling me poopies, and like I fucking hated it.
So then I was like, fuck whatever, I got to
accept that name, I guess, and like I never got
laid till I was like nineteen because my name was

(20:34):
Poopies because we go to parties.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
So you go through having a you know, kind of
a rough upbringing in the sense of like even you're
dealing with your own emotional demons, and then.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, dude, I like got bullied every day. It's so old.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
So what kept the creativity rolling then, because, like, you know,
it's a lot. I think the biggest the hard part
is like a lot of people will go through different
things and they'll just end up listening maybe to what
other people are saying. Right, if somebody's constantly telling you suck,
you suck, you suck, You're gonna start believing, right, So
what kept that rolling for you?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Fuck? I don't even know, like like why are we
here now, right, like because my friends would like they
would laugh at me, you know, because they knew I
was funny. But I was just doing it for like
the attention, you know, so I could like be popular
or whatever, you know, like fucked high school, dude. It's
like so dumb, dude, Like if you're trying to be popular,
it's not worth it, Like, don't do it. Just be yourself.

(21:30):
And I just started being myself, you know. I stopped
giving a fuck, you know, like I honestly stopped giving
a fuck. I stopped going to school. I was just
hanging out at the surf shop, smoking weed, fucking skateboarding.
I just didn't give a fuck anymore. And I think
that's what like made me. You know, that's just you.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think one of my favorite parts about you, because
ever since I met you, you just you can tell you
just a pure human being. And and I try every
day for myself to be unforgivably myself, right like, no
matter what anybody thinks, right, I'm just gonna be me.
And I think that's like one of your best attributes
is You're just gonna be you all the time.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Thanks man. Yeah, Like I don't. I just like, yeah,
it was just like I just gave up. You know.
I was like, fuck it, dude. I guess I'm poopies forever,
you know. So I started fucking acting like poopies. Yeah.
So like I was just like fuck it, dude. And
then the boys kind of like, I don't know, they
just let me be me, I guess. And then I
would shove up to the beach and just want so
much attention still, so I'd like, dude, dumb shit. I

(22:33):
remember like I took the beach cruiser down State Beach
Hill and I went off this like little like ledge
and I fucking launched like eight feet, you know. I
just fucking boom ate shit. And I remember like I
ate shit into the ice plant and the grass like
down below, and I remember like getting up and like
looking at the boys and like smiling to see their approval,

(22:54):
and there's all grass and shit in my teeth. And
that's when they like cracked up. They're like, no way,
I was fucking grass stuck in your teeth and shit.
But like I was still like kind of miserable, you.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Know, when you're like when you're doing these stunts and
everything and you keep talking about how you know you're
looking for like essentially approval, right, Like you said to
just look over for the approval.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Is that like, uh, is that a hey, I want
you to like me approval or is that like a hey,
I just want your attention on me approval?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
That was like I want to be like one of
the boys' approval, you know, like I just wanted to
be one of the boys, you know, because they all
grew up there. I didn't grow up there, so they
were already like kind of like established in Carlsbad, you know,
as the boys. So I had to like fucking make
a name for myself, and just that was how I
did it. It was just do stupid shit for him, and

(23:49):
it kind of like got fucking really like like I
was over it after a while, you know, like I
was like, fuck, dude, what am I doing? You know,
Like I gotta do something with my life, you know,
and this is I just hang out at State Beach
all day and do stupid ship.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
You know, how old were you at this point?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I was like probably like seventeen. I was the sophomore
in high school. Okay, so yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Sophomore in high school at seventeen.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I think so sixteen. I don't know, dude.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
I I try to forget about it, dude, honestly, Well,
I mean I think I just remember the good days
at the surf shop, like that was the ship, Like
hanging out the surf shop, having the skate park, like
no rules.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, there's no parents. We're like the lost boys.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
You know you love no parents. I love no love,
no parents.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
I try to stay away from home as much as
I can, like, fuck rules, fuck curfews, like I just
wanted to fucking be on the street.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well you don't. You don't sit still. Even this morning, guys,
we were we were getting ready here and Poopies was
angry and he's texting me. He's like, oh, where are
we going to do the podcast? When are we going
to do the podcast? Yeah? And we're like we're like, dude,
we're gonna do it here, We're gonna do it at
this time. He's like, all right, let's go. Let's gold school,
because you just you just don't want to sit down.
And look, now it's hot. Everybody's bitching about how it's cold,

(25:08):
and now who's hot? You're so hot. I'm not taking
off Danny Duncan's sweatshirt. By the way, there's no way that's.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Not Danny Duncan's is it.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
What are you talking or something? I mean, it's not
he made it. It's oh yeah, no.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, we stole from his house. A no. Yeah. So,
like I just wanted to fucking live my own life,
you know, but you can't really do that. I don't
know how I made it like into like what I
did now, but I just like, fuck, I wouldn't work
a normal job. I was like a laborer with the Mexicans.

(25:40):
I got when I was eighteen, Like all my friends
were graduating in high school.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
And now, did you have a job or you hanging out
of like shell gas station home depot?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
No? No, no, no, Like I had a job. I
had a job, like I was the laborer because this
guy who lived at the surf shop, he was the
like forklift driver, and he got me a job, you know.
And I like work really hard. You know, anything I do,
I'll work super hard. That's just how I am. I
just want to make them proud, you know. I want
to make the boss proud.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
So I had a laborer job for like a year,
and then the forklift driver who got me the job.
He fucking backed into a fire hydrant. Fucking water's going everywhere.
He got fired. So they're like, fuck, I guess like
Sean knows how to like drive the fucking forklift. It
was a big pettybone like heavy machinery, and dude, they

(26:32):
put me on this fucking pettybone, bro, And I was
like fucking driving the pettybone around. Dude, like fucking putting
wood on the on the houses and like all the
like all the sheet wood for the roofing and shit.
You know, I was kind of killing it. And I
was like I became like a pettybone driver when I
was eighteen, you know, like no one does that shit.
And then fucking one day They've got this new pettybone

(26:54):
in and I'm used to like putting on the hydraulic brake,
and I guess this one like you have put on
the parking break and the hydraulic break. So then I
had this brand new pettybone and I go up this hill.
I go up this hill to the bin to grab
nails for the framers, excuse me, and so I could
like fucking stalk up the houses. We're doing track homes

(27:14):
so I'd go grab all the nails from the bin,
stalk up all the houses so they're ready to just
like plow them down, you know. And I go on
the bin, bro, and I fucking come out of the
bin and the pettybone's gone. It fucking rolled down the hill.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Oh you didn't secure the break, No.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
So dude, it went. Oh it went off the road
down the hill. Oh my god, And it took out
this masonry wall and then it fucking almost took out
this fucking brand new house and La Costa.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
I was doing that a lot, a lot, And then.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Like the framers were on the roof like, oh, Bro,
like your fucking.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Pettybones down here, dude, Like they're all like fucking tripping. Dude,
I see my bo in the truck like coming up
to him like, oh, he goes, what the fuck happened, dude?

Speaker 1 (28:05):
I go, I don't know, dude, Like I fuck, you
must have forgot to put the parking brake on or
some ship. So that he's like, all right, well, I'm
gonna have to let you go, you know, which was
perfect though, because I already learned how to build houses
like from the ground.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Eye, So could you build a house right now.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, for sure, a whole house, Yeah, for sure, top
to bottom, top to bottom. I know every step.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Let me tell you the steps, sure, so I'd love
to actually, I'd love to hear the steps, everybody. This
is building a house by poopies. This is not approved
by any federal agency.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, it is FDA approved, approved, Yeah, perfect, EPA approved.
Yeah yeah yeah. What's what's the other one too?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
You're the house you build would probably be as safest
East Ohio right now.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
No way I know how to build houses, bro. So
you get the fucking dirt, right, get an excavator, you
make it the dirt's there. You buy the land, okay,
you buy the land, You get an excavator, you make
sure it's all level, and then you fucking start with
the rebar.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Okay, so you.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Rebar it up and then you put like fucking two
by six's around the rebar, you know what I mean.
And then you pour the concrete boom, and then you
take the slabs of wood off, let it dry, take
the slabs of wood off, boom. You got your slab
right there. But before you do that, you gotta stick

(29:29):
the rebar with the fucking thread in it, right, and
the thread has to be sticking out like eight inches.
So you get you do that and then you put
you get all your measurements of the wood, you make
all your cuts, bundle that up and go put all
the measurement. Go put the fucking load of wood on
the slab right, and then you gotta make You gotta

(29:51):
get the plans right. And you get the plans, and
then you take all those measurements and you lay them out,
so you have your fucking base of the of the war.
But on the side of the edges of the house
there's those there's those rebar with thread in them. So
you got to drill a hole in the wood, put
it over the rebar with the thread right, So you

(30:11):
make the hole outside and then you fucking come in,
lay out all the fucking inside and you and then
you just nail it together right, and then you get
your Then you get your two by fours and you
fucking start framing the thing. And then after you frame it,
you gotta go in and make sure every wall is
fucking straight. So you do that with side side two

(30:34):
by fours, and you fucking make all the walls straight
with levelers and shit, and then you put up pieces
of plywood so it all stays together. And then you
come in after that and joiste it up, and then
you fucking nail gun the joye up and then you
lay the top floor. Boom, there's your fucking first floor.
And then you go on with the second floor. And

(30:56):
then after the second floor you level it all up.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
And we've been doing two floors.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Then yeah two no, no, no, two four houses track
homes because I don't know, I don't know. You want
to do three? We can do three. I was thinking, like,
you just keep doing the process, that's it. Yeah, and
then after you, however how you want it. You come
in with the trusses and then you set the trusses.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Why are we not building a house right now?

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Bro, give me the wood, I'll build it.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
You think it would take you to actually build a
house with help?

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Nope, with professional help?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Nope? By yourself.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Oh I don't know, like six months, no fucking way. Guarantees.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, we should definitely.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
If I work on it every day, Bro, I can
build a house in six months, guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I think we should find somebody to sponsor a house
building project by you.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, that'd be sick. And then after it's all fucking
all the fucking trusses are set and fucking all the
beams are put in and ship then you fucking go
and you insulate it. Alright, I'm sorry. Before you insulate it,
you got to wire it with electric, so you gotta
draw all these little holes in the frames, fucking wire

(32:01):
all the shit up so it's all inside the drywall
right right, and then you insulate it and then you
fucking you put fucking plywood, or you can fucking put drywall,
and then you dry wall it up and then you
put your light fixtures. Probably know how to build a house.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
So I got let off from that job. I got
put on unemployment all summer long. I was making eighteen
hundred a month, okay from doing nothing. Bro So all
that whole summer I was like raging so hard, fucking
blew all my money, and like I had a house
and shit that my dad got us, got me and
my bigger brother, so like it was like the party house.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
When you say you were like raging and everything, you
mean you're drinking, you're smoking weed. We've talked about that.
What else are you doing? Give me your introduction to drugs?

Speaker 1 (32:59):
My first line cocaine was at the house when I
was eighteen. Okay, my friend Blister Baggins Rest in peace.
He was like a little older than us, so he
like was experienced with it. So he brought over like
a bag of cocaine and he like was lining it
up on my dresser, dude, and somehow fucking Papa Poo

(33:19):
pulls up, hot dude, because he always pulls up and
like checks on us.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
You can smell that cocaine. Boy, He.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Like fucking pulled up. Dude, like ran in the house
and like I was trying to bust us drinking, but
he busted us dude doing blow. And he's so fucking pissed.
He told my friend mikey Be, He's like, get the
fuck out of my house, Like what are you doing
giving my fucking son blow? And shit, he's so pissed.
And yeah, that was the first time I did it.
And then like so I thought like the effect from

(33:50):
cocaine was to do it and like get all gnarly,
you know, and so like we do cocaine and like
go fight the other kids and ship.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Okay, so you were a fight or two. Yeah, okay,
so you do you now to this day, do you
like to fight her? And it is just not really
a thing, but no.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Because I got in so much trouble for fighting dude.
I had like gang charges and fucking like assault dead
with assault with deadI weapon.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Tell that story. What happened there?

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh fuck. We were at my friend's house and there's
this chick that like kind of like used to hang
out at the beach because she's like the older guy's
like little sister Ulyss. He's Thomas. He's like an older
guy at State Beach, one of like the founders of
State Beach, so like her, his little sister was was

(34:37):
a lot older than us, and she brought over her
boyfriend somehow, she like found out where we were hanging
out that night at my friend's house and calls bad,
Like we're just having like a mellow knight. You know.
It was like me and a few friends and they
like invited her over, but she brought this fucking dude over,
which was their boyfriend at the time, and he's like
some big ass like muscle fucking jock or some ship.

(35:01):
But like we didn't really know him, you know, and
he like wanted to stay the night, and we're like dude,
you can't stay the night, like we don't even know you.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
He's like, what do you mean I can't stay the night.
We're like, bro, you can't stay the night, like we
don't know you, like you gotta go, and he's like, well,
I don't got to go, and he like he like
fucking reached up like he's gonna punch me, and like
he flinched at me, and my reaction was just a punch.
So I punched him in the face and it was
like fucking awaking the Hulk. Dude, he didn even phase him,

(35:28):
and he goes oh, and he goes oh boom and
punches me bro and knocks me out. And then my
friends were like, oh fuck no, you know, so like
they started fighting him and they he my friends got
knocked out by him, and we're all like waking up
from our knockouts, you know. And then my littlest friend
gave Garcia a little beaver and call him Beef. He's

(35:50):
the one who like fucked him up. You were like,
what the fuck Beaver's fucking him up? And then like
we all like awoke from our knockouts and we just
fucking rapam and we're like his jaw. We sent him
to the hospital, like you had to get his jaw
wired shut and ship and like I remember, like we
were trying to get him out of the house and
he wasn't like he wasn't like cooperating, so we're like

(36:11):
trying to push him out, like fucking punch him out
of the house. And we all pushed him at once,
and he like the fence and like broke the whole fence, dude,
And then we're like I just kept beating him up
all the way to the street. And her, his girlfriend
at the time, was like stop stop, no, no, you know,
she's trying to like stop it all. But we were
just like so pissed that he like started punching us

(36:34):
that we didn't give a fuck. We beat the ship
out of him.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
So you gut sucked out in that particular fight.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, in the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, have you how many concussions of you?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Fuck?

Speaker 2 (36:43):
I don't know if you had market how many times?

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Maybe like ten or twelve, but like real ones, like
you know when you hit your head and you're like
you like go to like darkness under question.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
How many times have you been kicked in the nuts
more or I've been.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Knocked out more than I've kicked in the nuts.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Really, yeah, damn dude, And I've I mean, you've got
kicked in the nuts and like, I mean you're nuts.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Taking a beating, bro, Yeah yeah, I mean trying not to.
They're strong as fuck. Yeah, you know, I've been khucked
out way more than I've gotten the nuts, he says.
But yeah. So so she calls the cops and she's like, oh,
it's him. Him. She pointed us all out, and we
got arrested that night and they took us to jail. Oh,

(37:26):
I remember, they took us to the station. It was
like a movie, dude. They took us to the station
and we're like, we're just talking to the cops like
fuck you fat pigs, like fucking go fucking die, you know,
and they're trying to get more information out of us
at the station, but we didn't talk, so they booked
us in jail. And that was like the first time
I ever went to jail. Sucked missed the county like

(37:47):
nineteen twenty yeah, I was like, I think I was
like twenty two, maybe twenty three.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
It was college an option for you after the fuck no,
not even a thought never was gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
So at that point, you're dude, I took my GED,
dude four times, so like I couldn't have passed my GED,
but like the school was not there because I couldn't
pay attention.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I don't think it's necessarily though that that you know,
here's the here's another thing that you have to remember
though with like that the GED, and you definitely shouldn't
be too hard on yourself about it because everybody learns differently.
And I've spoken with like friends of mine who have said,
like the standardized testing and stuff like that that kids
have to go through, you know, especially when we were
in school. You know, it's it doesn't cater to everybody

(38:34):
that has, like you said, ADHD. For people with ADHD
or ADD it's difficult, and I have it. It's difficult
to sit and even like read a question and then
process what that question is asking you and then come
up with an answer for it. It's tough.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
I could learn it, but like after algebra, like I
finally got my algebra down and then it's like another
algebra two. I'm like, what the fuck, Like there's no
way I can do algebra two, dude, I can barely
do algebra. So I was like, fuck school and college
is like fucking way beyond that, you know, And I
was just like didn't have the money, wasn't motivated for school.

(39:08):
I just wanted to surf, you know and be at
the beach. So that's when I got good at surfing, right,
So then I just picked up surfing like that was
my outlet to like escape the world. It was just
to be out in the ocean by myself with my boys,
you know, just like trading waves off, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
And that's still probably a pretty safe space for you
at this point.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yeah, definitely, Like now that I'm like almost sixty days sober,
like surfing is still my outlet, you know, Like I
love to surf, especially when the waves are good.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Have you found it difficult at all since you've gotten sober,
or even prior to that, to find people that want
to do events and hang out and do things that
are the don't about home or drugs, you know, because
like I feel like a lot of what.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Fuck not really dude, Like, you know, dude, like all
the young kids, dude, Like everyone wants to party with poopies.
You know. It's like, let's fucking party. What do you
doing this week with party? You know? And I would
just get sucked into it, Yeah, let's go party, because
it was the attention still, you know. I'd get the
attention from being that party guy, you know, and I
was like the life of the party every party, you know.

(40:14):
So I like, I don't know if I like felt
like I had to do something stupid after I like
was partying all night, you know. But usually I'm like
doing something stupid, right, you know, either like a cake
stand or like fucking taking a fucking beer bong of
fucking Jack Daniels or something. Yeah. I remember this one

(40:38):
party they had like a they had like a fucking
two story house and they had this huge two story
beer bong and my boys was like, do a beer bong.
I was like all right. So they started pouring beer
in at first, and I got down and I was like,
what the fuck, dude, It's like tasting like hard alcohol now,
was all. They start just pouring Jack Daniels down, dude,

(40:58):
and I kept going, you know, because I'm trying to
like finish it, bro, I was all fucking Jack Daniels, dude,
And that's when I like blacked out. That night, fucking
probably I think I ended up in someone's bathtub, just
like so fucked and yeah, then it was just like
and then I remember at this one party, I was
so fucking hammered, and I drank a fucking bottle peppermint schnops,

(41:20):
chugged a bottle and I went fucking face like, stomach
first down the stairs, you know how you go like boom, boom, boom,
down the stairs. Bro. I got to the bottom of
the stairs, I was like, oh, I don't feel so good.
I fucking threw up all over this chick's house on
her white carpet and it's like her parents' house, you know.
Of course, so I get kicked out of the party
and it's freezing cold, and then I'm just like so

(41:42):
a blip literated. And then the boys just get out
the hose and start spraying with the hose. And then
I just start getting sprayed with the hose, dude, when
it's freezing cold out, so like it was it was gnarly, dude.
Like I would just get blacked out and sit there
and just like try to recover from it.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Was at your Emma all the time. Yeah, you were
like going to works and just like you go because
like I know, I know how it is, like you're
just seem like you're a binger. So like once you
once you start going, it's just full.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Definitely, that's when I like, like like the disease took over,
you know, alcoholism. That's when it like definitely took over.
Because then I'd wake up and I'd start drinking again
just to like fucking feel better, you know. And like
I remember I was living at the circa.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
What were you trying to I don't know if you've
identified this. What were you trying to feel better from? Right?

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Like?

Speaker 2 (42:35):
What were you.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
There? I had no energy. The next morning, I was
like definitely depressed because I just fucked Whoever's house up
and like all those bad decisions, you know, like hit
me in the morning, you know, I'm like, fuck, what
did I do? And then I don't really remember. So
my friends would tell me, like, bro, you fucking like

(42:59):
keep this chi car or some ship, you know, like
did something that fucking harms someone, you know, So then
like in the morning, I would just drink and try
to forget about that, you know, like drinking my sorrows
away in the morning. Yeah, dude, I was drinking juice,
remember when juice came out? So I would like drink
juice in the morning, bro, just to like like just

(43:20):
stop like thinking about it, you know, because once you
start drinking again, you get back into that fucking party mode,
you know, and you don't give a fuck anymore.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
It says second Win man. You know how it is,
like you wake up the next day you feel like shit,
and someone's like, hey, let's go out. Yeah, you go
out and you have like a drink or two. You
start to feel better, or so you think, and then it.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Just becomes h Then you just turn into a fucking
maniac sloppy ass drunk.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Did you ever go through like alcohol withdraw though, do you?

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Oh? For sure, dude, could stop like.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
A physical with or like shaking and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, I'd like to try it off, dude.
I try to sleep it off, and then like I couldn't,
I like sleep in the one pm, you know. And
I remember going through those times like some some weeks
would be better and some weeks would be worse, you know. Yeah,
And like I remember those weeks where it was really
bad where I'd sleep until one pm, dude, and then

(44:12):
I'd like wake up, shower, like I needed a beer,
so I'd fucking crack a beer open in the shower,
feel better, get ready, and then go to the bar,
and then it just starts all over again, you know,
And all the same Darryl's are fucking hanging out and
they have nothing fucking going on with their lives, so
they're fucking drinking their fucking sorrows away too, you know.

(44:34):
But I would take it to another level, dude, like
such another level where it's like, fuck, I hope he
doesn't die tonight, you know. Yeah, dude, It like when
I was younger who got bad, and then we'd be
hanging out this place called Pizzaport and they only served
I pas you know. So it's this place called the
Bottle Shop, and like, fuck, dude, we would just like

(44:56):
be drinking I pas, like opened that five. You'd get
there five pm. It closes at ten, so fucking six
ip as later, you're blacked out, you know what I mean?
Oh yeah, yeah, And I was only like twenty five, dude,
like drinking five ip as or like six IPAs, and
fuck we'd get like it was like two dollars IPAs dude,
so fucking it was the greatest dell ever. So we'd

(45:19):
slam down our IPAs and too we're like almost blacked out.
That's where I got go to bed grum from really yeah,
because we're so hammered and my friends would start fighting
each other. We're like, dude, go to bed, grom, you
know what I mean, Like you need to go to bed, Dude,
Like stop fighting everyone, because that's what it was. We
grew up fighting and drinking, dude, like that's what our

(45:39):
life was. And luckily I'm not in jail or dead,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
You're a true you know.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Like that's when I moved to Cali. I was like,
I'm gonna be one of those Cali kids. You know.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
You hit the nail on the fucking head, I think.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
And then like I started surfing, skating, fucking fighting, stealing,
doing whatever it takes to fuck can ruin my life.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
But you're still doing this. You're doing these stunts in
the meantime. I mean, there's a video of you obviously
I believe we're blading down the freeway.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Okay, So that was that was That was before the
fucking the whole Hawaii thing. So like, so after the
construction job, I moved to Humble and we'd go trim
weed for money because I didn't want to get a
real job. I didn't want to work construction anymore. Like
I worked at Pizza Port. I hated doing that, making

(46:31):
pizzas fucking all night. That sucked so fucking My friend
Mikey be fucking was like, bro, I'm up here and
Humble trim and weed, dude. You make two hundred bucks
a day, and we're like, what two hundred bucks a day? Fuck,
let's go. So I fucking went up to Humble and
started trimming weed, dude. And that was another ship show too,

(46:52):
Like you go up there and you go up there,
you know, and it's like, oh yeah, I'm gonna go
up there and make money, you know, dude. Everyone's fucking
partying up and you know what I mean, you got
like Reggie on the River, and you got all these
like fucking concerts and ship every weekend, you know, and
then every day we'd be fucking drinking our IPAs while
we're trimming, you know what I mean, listening to music,

(47:13):
trimming weed, making money, and then like smock smoking tons
and we'd be like fuck, you'd like the over smoking weed.
And we smoked so much. I remember, like we fucking
I was like trimming and like see I didn't trim

(47:33):
that that much that day, and I only made like
one hundred and fifty bucks or something. Bro I came
up with this thing called five dollars fly hits. So
I take the bomb and I'd get the dead flies
from the wind seal, the window seal, and I'd fucking
pack the dead flies in the ball and I'd fucking
like and I asked, I'd ask them about, like fucking

(47:55):
I'll smoke another one for five bucks, you know. So
everyone like would hook me up, like I give you
five bucks, so I get like four kids, give me
five bucks, snap a fly bomb, fucking so there you
got twenty bucks right there. I'm like smoking a fly.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
I made twenty bucks. So I snapped like, oh it's
like metallic. Oh fuck, dude, it's the worst thing is
fucking disgusting.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
It's like metalite tasty. But yeah, so every night I'd
be smoking fucking bong grams and flies, dude, so I
can make an extra like twenty or fifty bucks, So
like fucking make up for the lost time of my tripping,
you know. But so I did that.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I decided not to work a lot today, so I'm
just gonna smoke.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Some flies every Yeah, I did want to make up
for it. Yeah, Like there was like a little bit
of smoke.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
With like I'm gonna give you fifty nine to five
and then I'm gonna smoke some flies.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Yeah, real cool. Yeah, Like it worked though, Like everyone
wanted to see me do it and like they're like this,
you know, but like what this. I was just trying
to make money.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
You know, what's the nastiest thing you've ever smoked? I mean,
obviously we.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Didn't have it. That's probably the nastiest thing I've ever smoked. Yeah,
but like no, that's probably it. Yeah, I don't know.
Flies was the worst for sure.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
So you're doing only stunts during this time movies Like
at some point here, like I mean, you're you're you
seemed very content based on what you're telling me at
that time with where you were, what you were doing
making money. Yeah, obviously went pretty much money.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Yeah. So I had my cycle, like I'd go trim
weed from like like middle of August to like late October,
and my goal was to be in Hawaii before my birthday.
So that's what my goal was. And so like every year,
like October fifteenth, I'd make sure I had at least
three thousand dollars saved up and I'd take it to Hawaii.

(49:48):
So then I'd go to Hawaii with like three thousand
dollars and stay there for six months. Bro, Within the
first month or two, I'd be out of money. Call
my dad, Hey, can you send me money? I'd be
out of money. So I would get jobs in why
doing like fucking the worst jobs ever, like cutting down
fucking California grass, like all day long, like the gnarliest
jobs ever, dude, like straight laborer jobs again, you know.

(50:11):
So I went back to laboring again in Hawaii, and
then like I would like I get by by that,
you know, like I it make ends meet, you know,
like I could be Luckily I met my friend Jamie O'Brien,
and that's who kind of like took me under his wing,
you know, like he's such a legend dude in like
the serving world, and like he kind of took me

(50:32):
under his wing. He let me like stay at his
house and shit, and like stay on the couch and shit.
Jamie was like, fuck, dude, I feel bad for this kid,
you know, like I'm gonna help him out. So, like
Jamie fucking helped me out, and he put me on
to his web series and we started filming a season
for red Bull TV. And that's when I really like
started doing my antics. Like that's when I started going

(50:55):
ham in the stunts.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You know, when did you get to the point though?
Like with stunts at first, obviously you're gonna be a
little I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe not. You
seem to go all out every time, Like if you're
gonna do a stunt, you go for it, right you?

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Oh for sure?

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Was that always the case? Or did you just had
to be hammerd though?

Speaker 1 (51:12):
I would have to be hammered? Oh yeah, I mean
like I'd have to have a bottle of Jack Daniels
or fucking like a six pack before I did my stunt,
just to like numb the fucking feeling, you know, because
I don't want to think about it. I don't want
to think of the outcomes of what's gonna happen afterwards,
because I could break a leg, break my neck, or drowned,
you know what I mean. So I'd go into these

(51:33):
stunts fucking hammered. And that's what kind of like how
I survived the stunts, dude. It was the alcohol, but
like it fucking sucked though, because then I'd be like,
after my stunt, I think it'd be a big party,
you know, because I like, oh I did my start,
Like I'm fucking like celebrating now right, you know what
I mean. So then that turns into a fucking week bender.

(51:54):
One stunt would be like a week bender, and then
my friends are like, poopies, what the fuck are you doing?
Like I do I'm ship dude, Like I remember this
one time I was hate out the local Hawaiian guys
and they had a bunch of mollie and they were
eating mollie and next thing you know, I'm like, oh,
I love you guys. I love you guys. Here's some
soft tops that are laying out in Jamie's yard that
are his, not even my soft hops, and I gave

(52:16):
away all his brand new soft tops. Oh. He was
so fucking pissed. Dude. In the in the morning time,
he gets a call from like one of the like
local guys. He's like, dude, someone's got your soft top, dude,
And He's like what the fuck, dude, Like, how do
you get my soft top? Fucking POOPI Woopies gave it away, dude,
all fucked up on Mollie and like all hammered.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Do you like the name Poopies now?

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Like I don't mind it, like it's been my name forever.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Like so.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Sean's like my real name, you know, Like that's me.
I'm Sean, you know. So like I learned to put
like Poopies and Sean like two different people. Now. Poopies
is the kid who's in front of the camera doing
dumb shit, you know. But Sean's like the businessman, the
like the one who cares, you know, Like I'm the son,

(53:08):
you know. I got a mom, I got a dad,
like I'm Sean, you know, right, So like I learned
how to like manage that, you know. But it was hard,
Like at first, I was like I was just straight Poopies,
you know, just like all the time, partying, doing stunts,
even though when there's no cameras, you know. But like
Jamie taught me a lot, you know, Like Jamie taught
me about the whole business thing, Like you only do

(53:30):
that when you're getting paid for it. You know, so
like he taught me a lot about that. Like I
learned a lot from Jamie, Like he's like my dad, Well, it's.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Not worth it for you, especially because some of the
risks that you take are pretty intense. Yeah, I mean,
like it's not like, you know, it's not like you're
doing some like you know, weird shit even like something
even if something stupid is getting hit the nuts, dude,
you get fucking really hurt.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
But somehow I learned how to fall. That's the key, dude,
learning how to fall, because if you do a stunt
and you don't know how to fall, You're gonna fucking
break your neck. You're gonna break your arm. You know,
you gotta like roll out of it. You gotta do
all this shit, dude, like, and you gotta do it
in the like instant, you know, so you only have
like so much to think about it. And when I'm drunk,
like I'm trying to like perform these falls and master

(54:17):
these falls, but at the same time I'm so drunk
I can't even feel it, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
You're probably waking up the next morning and some fucking.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Oh bro, I'd wake up the next morning. I couldn't
walk for like two weeks, so then I'd start drinking
again so I could walk, you know what I mean.
So the booze were just like a cycle bro like booze.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
But it was booze at first, Like booze were your thing, okay,
booze and coke.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Yeah, And like I did that for like.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Twenty years, you know, Okay, so that was like that
was that was like high school partying, just.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
High school partying. Did some lines, and then it was
just like baggies every time we drank, you know, damn.
And that lasted for like fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Now are you a binger, because like, for me, I'm
not the kind of guy I don't want to line
a cocaine. I want to fucking bag of it, are you?

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Well? Yeah, I mean you don't. I only have so
much money though, you know, so we couldn't really afford
the big bags, you know, so you'd get like a Graham,
you know, but then the graund would be gone, you know,
like you give it to your friends, it's fucking gone.
You know. They were like trying to scraunge up money
for another bag, and then I'm broke, and then I'm
like fucking bombing for fucking Booze. You know, I remember

(55:22):
bombing so much shit for my friends, dude, for just Booze.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
I've been there, dude, I've been there, I know. And
that lasted.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
That was like for like ten years, dude, like bumming Booze,
like from and it looks so bad, like I look
like a fucking bum you know.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
I totally feel that. I feel that deep in my
soul because for me, I was the same exact way
and throws because you're you're not you're not thinking about
anything else, nothing else managed because at the end of
the day, whatever else is going on is gonna be
numb by that that feeling. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Like you're just chasing. That doesn't mean Okay, we'll deal
with that ship tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Yeah, the feeling, it definitely is the feeling. And then
like everyone's partying, you know, when I'm younger, you know,
and then like it lasted until I was like fucking
like thirty, dude, I'm like, fuck, this got a stop.
I'm thirty years old, you know, But it didn't. It
fucking kept going. I muted. I just pressed his.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
Hello, Hello, No, you're not good, flashing and muted.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
So yeah. So then like I thought I would like
outgrow it, but I never outgrew it, you know. It
just got worse and worse. And then like I seen
all the older guys doing it, so I was like, oh,
I guess it's okay, you know, but they had fucking
problems too. They're all sick too, you know. So I
became like a mentally sick individual, you know. And then luckily,

(56:40):
like my friends were trying to help me, and they're like, dude,
you need to go to AA, bro. And I remember
going to my first AA was in Hawaii at the
Yama Church and I walked in and there's this legend
brock Little. He's like the legend big wave surfer. I
was like, whoa he does AA. You know. I was like, well,
that's pretty cool, you know. But I couldn't kick the
addiction because I didn't want, you know, like I didn't

(57:01):
want it.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
So like, you gotta hit rock bottom, bro, you gotta.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
And I hit rock bottom like fucking ten times and
never learned my lesson. You know. I'm like here I
am again, broke, waking up on the couch feeling like shit,
I fucking who knows what happened last night. Everyone's pissed
off at me. And that's how my life was. But yeah,
I finally like fucking became successful and like somehow I

(57:28):
like grew up. I could feel myself starting to grow up,
like thirty two, thirty three, and then like thirty four
hit and I was like, say no to shit. You know,
I was like, whoa, this is weird. I'm like growing up, dude.
I'm like say no, and I don't want to go
to the parties and I don't want to be that guy,
you know, because I now, like I fucking learned that
I got to do it for money. I got to

(57:49):
have a contract. If I'm not signing a contract, I
should be inside fucking trying to find a contract, you
know what I mean. So that's what I learned, and
like Jamie taught me a lot about that. So then
I got a contract with Red Bull and it was
from their production team. So now I'm traveling the world,
fucking living life, dude, live in the best life. Like

(58:10):
I would drink sometimes, but then they'd put me on
a non alcoholic contract, you know. Like I went to
Bali for like two weeks and I didn't drink one
fucking sip of alcohol until the last day. The last
fucking day, dude, I fucking there's leftover booze in the fridge.
I'm like, fuck, yeah, my fucking job's done. You know

(58:30):
I can have a beer now. But I didn't ask.
I fucking took it put in my backpack. God wait
until I got to the airport, went into the bathroom
and drink it. But the boys were already on it
because they go, where'd the beer go? That was in
the fridge? Well, fucking they fucking set me up. They go, oh,
you forgot something in the house. Look at my backpack.

(58:51):
There's the beer. Zip it back up, and then there's
watching me. What am I gonna do with this beer?
So I go to the bathroom. I chugged the beer.
I'm waiting in my and I go back and line
to like get my ticket and like, oh, you smell
like beer, dude, Like what happened? Like did you drink
a beer? I was like, yo, I don't drink of beer.
Probably go in the bathroom. They pulled it out. They go,

(59:11):
you didn't drink a beer? Why are you lying to us?
So I kept lying to my friends.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
Dude, it's a killer. I've been there. I understand it.
I understand it's hard to repair those relationships.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
It sucked. I just kept lying like my best my
best friends, dude, they're like took care of me, dude.
Like I'm like, what the fuck, dude, Like why do
I keep doing this to myself?

Speaker 2 (59:35):
I think it's important though, that you remember something. It's
like you're not there anymore, you know, and like and that's.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
When I like learned not to lie, dude. Like that's
when I learned, like lying is not going to get
you anywhere, you know. And that's like something Jamie taught me,
Like you taught me so much, but like that's what
I learned, dude. Like what am I doing? Dude? Like
it was fun. I just kept burning bridges, burning bridges, dude,

(01:00:01):
because of this fucking addiction. Man, it was so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Don't be sorry. Don't be sorry. Man, That's what we're
here for, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:00:12):
I think I felt so bad and I knew what
was happening, but I couldn't fix myself. You know, you
gotta want it, dude, you gotta want it. And this
last like fucking sixty days, dude. I haven't wanted it
so much in my whole life. Like, fuck, it's about
time I got the help. I'm in a recovery program,
you know, and it's like the best thing that ever

(01:00:35):
happened to me, man, because I'm not lying. I'm not
I'm not bumming booze, you know. I'm not fucking doing
the dumb shit that I was doing, you know, And like, fuck,
I got caught up in some dumb shit. I started
smoking crack and like all this fucked up ship. When
I couldn't think it would get any worse, it did, Dude.

(01:00:56):
I was living in the U haul and ship.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Fuck it was bad, bro. So Luckily, like after the
Jackass movie and shit, like I had real friends, you know,
like those are my friends, dude, Like those kids at
State Beach, those aren't my fucking friends, bro, Like the
Jackass guys like Steve O. Knoxville, Pawntius we Man, Preston,

(01:01:19):
Dave England, even fucking Danger Aeron. Dude, those are the
boys that look after me, you know. So after the
whole Jackass thing, dude, I realized that I do have friends,
you know, and those are my friends. So when it
got so bad, dude, I fucking reached out to Steve O.
And I go, Steve O, Bro, I'm fucking in the hole,

(01:01:39):
like I'm in a dark, dark, dark place. And that's
when I reached out for help. Dude. He's like, well,
I'll make a few phone calls, but you got to
do this one hundred percent. You gotta want it. I go, dude,
I want it so bad, like I don't ever want
to feel like this again. Like, and then he reached
out and made made a phone call and he got
me into a rehab program and that's where I've been

(01:02:00):
for the last sixty days. But yeah, dude, like I'm
so like proud of myself that I like realized that
I had the biggest problem, because before I didn't fucking
realize I had a problem, you know. I was like, oh,
I'm not alcoholic, like everyone drinks, you know, but everyone
of everyone who's drinking like that has a fucking problem.

(01:02:21):
They're sick too, they just can't admit it. And that's
step one, admitting that you're powerless over alcohol or over
the drug, you know, admitting that you're powerless. And I
was fucking powerless, dude, I had no power. I try
to stop. I couldn't, and that's step one of AA.
So now I'm working through all my steps. I'm at

(01:02:43):
step four, which is resentments, and I've been working on
that step for like two weeks. But they said I
went to an AA meeting the other day, which was
like a blessing. I love my fucking AA meetings, and
like they're talking about step four and how it's like

(01:03:03):
you can't get stuck on step four because you have
so many resentments that can go on and on. Just
write them down, maybe write down a page or two,
and then fucking move on to step five, you know,
because I've been stuck on step four for like a month. Now,
I'm like, why the fuck am I still stuck on
step four? Well, that's why, because they're endless. You know.

(01:03:24):
Resentments are endless. You're gonna resent something every day, but
that's why you take inventory, you know. So I take
a nightly inventory of all my resentments every day, and
I talk with my sponsor about them and I get
through them, you know. So now I just got to
step five on the AA Alcoholics Anonymous, and I love it, dude.
I love my AA, dude, Like, without my AA meetings,

(01:03:46):
I'd be fucking relapsing, I'd be fucking homeless, I'd be
fucked you know what I mean. Right, So, yeah, that's
like the whole disease. Dude, it's fucking gnarly, bro.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
So Steve will get you into a rehab facility. What
was your rock bottom? So, I mean, I do want
to tell if you don't mind, I'd love to tell
the Jesse James story. That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Yeah, Jesse James dude. The guy's a manic depressant. Bro.
He's like fucking like in fucking law lah Land dude,
so Looney Tunes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
So one day Sean calls me and he goes, uh,
he's in San Jose. Yeah, he's in San Jose. And
he's like, Hey, I'm going up to stay at this
girl's house. I'm with Jesse James. He's going to give
me this car, all this stuff. And as soon as
I heard the name Jesse James, I'm like, well this
story is whack, dude.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Yeah, Like he thinks he's like the Jesse James motorcycle guy.
So Jesse James.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Guy literally thinks. And I don't know if it's just
because all the Methew's smoking but he he think.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
I don't know if he's smoking method what he was on,
but I know he had some mental issues.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
He was living in a U haul with you, so
something was up. Yeah, and you know what, I picked
him up for the joy ride.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Dude. He's like, bro, let's go up to fucking Sacramento,
grab my van. I was like, perfect, I can get
rid of the U haul and live in the van
and I'll be in van life. You know, I can
fuck with van life. You know everyone's fucking with it.
But dude, I couldn't even make it up the Sacramento, bro.
I ran out of drugs. I fucking got left in
San Jose by Jesse James. And then next thing you know,

(01:05:21):
I'm fucking bumming change at a gas station for a
phone charger. But I'm still fried. I only needed eight bucks.
I was bumming for like four hours, Dude. I got
up to twenty bucks and I finally counted it, like
I could have been out of the fucking gas station
like within an hour and got my phone charge him
and fine, but I'm so lost and fucking fried from
all the drugs and alcohol. And I kept bumming, dude,

(01:05:43):
So I was like, you got any spear change dude,
Like that was my rock bottom. That was the rock
bottom dude.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
So we're on the phone and uh so he you know,
Soun's like, Hey, I'm gonna I'm going up here. We're
getting this van all this stuff. Next morning comes. So
that was the first day. There really wasn't a problem
that day. The first day. The second day you wake
up and I you call me. You're like, dude, this

(01:06:10):
dude stole the U haul And so now now you
got to remember the story is is that Jesse James,
who by the way, Like there's like there's like, hey,
I'm living in the U haul and then it's like, hey,
I'm deucing to U haul with somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Yeah, dude, Like he was driving it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
There's like I'm going to pay twenty bucks a day
for this U haul, but actually I'm gonna pay ten
because we can fit two beds in here. Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
I was like in the back of the U haul
while he's driving it up to Santa Cruz, like it's
so dark, it's like pitch black dark in the U haul.
It was in the front driving it. I'm back there
smoking drugs and ship drinking, just like life is great.
You know what I mean. But dude, I was like,
fucking so lost, dude, so lost.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
So Jesse James steals the U haul. I get the
call and I'm like, yeah, dude, give me his phone number.
I'll try to get ahold of them. And he answered
the phone and he's like, yeah, dude, you can come.
And you know, he's like, oh, I'm gonna go pick
him up. I'm gonna go pick him up. And I
probably talked to this dude, I don't know a couple
of times through the day, just like for you, just
like where are you? Why he saved me, you know,

(01:07:10):
and then and then he's like, yeah, I'm coming. So
like a whole day goes by and we're talking, like
I mean, we're literally talking eight to ten hours.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Yeah, pick you up. Like that's my home, you know,
my U haul was my home. So I became homeless
that day in San Jose with my dog.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
I think you were homeless before that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Well, yeah I was. I was. I wouldn't well, that's
what I thought was my home. That's how sick. I was, right,
you know. I was a sick sick mentally sick in
the head, and I thought that was my home. You know,
because all my stuff was in there from my apartment.
That was all my stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
But I think it's important that you just remember this.
I think it's important that you just don't ever fucking
hang out with Jesse James.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Bro I'll never see him again. And if I do,
I'm gonna fucking walk the other way. Yeah run, you
know what I mean, and call my sponsor.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Yeah that's a that's a. No flies.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
So I got these tools now that I use to
like to prevent relapsing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
Okay, wait, wait before you go there. So what we
want to what we want to dive into though, is
with your you know, if you're going through AA and
going through you know, your your addiction and all those things.
I always like to kind of specifically with people that
have been through stuff like that, you know, talk about
maybe well the tools that you do use about it

(01:08:26):
so the other people can also use those, and like
how you maybe came about those and why you like
to use them and how you use them.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Well, recovery like taught me gave me the tools, you know,
AA gave me those tools. Alcoholics Anonymous. If you have
an addiction with alcohol, I suggest you go to AA
because you can't do without it, dude. Maybe it's maybe
if you don't want it, it means you're not ready.
You know, you're not ready for it, you don't want it.

(01:08:56):
But AA's taught me a lot, dude, like having the tools.
The main tool is a sponsor, someone that cares about you,
someone that you can relate with, someone has been there,
you know, in that same position you were in when
at your rock bottom. You know. So I have a sponsor.
His name's Clifton. He's a legend. So I talked to

(01:09:18):
my sponsor. The other tool is the AA book. I
read that book and it fucking makes me feel so
much better. And the third tool is the meetings. You know,
you go to your meetings. If I'm not going to
my meetings, I'm sitting down in a living in my
living room thinking about it, you know, like fuck, I

(01:09:39):
should have went to my meeting, and then I start
thinking about like drinking. You have these signs, you know,
you'll have these signs. Like My signs are like I'll
isolate you know, or all, or like I'll fucking start
calling the I'll call the plug. Those are my signs

(01:10:01):
that I need to go to a meeting and I
need to call my sponsor asap or else I'll relapse.
So I have these tools that I use so I
prevent its prevention of relapse. So that's what I use.
And if you're not using your tools, they'll fucking dole
up and you're gonna relapse, right, So I fucking keep
my tools sharp. I use them every day. I take

(01:10:22):
inventory every day, every night, and I and I'm honest
with myself. You know, I'm like, was I dishonest today?
What was I dishonest about? You know? How could I've
treated others better? There's all these things you go through
and you write them down and you do the work.
You know, you got to do the work. You got
to put it on paper, and that's doing the work.

(01:10:45):
And if you're doing the work and you're fucking using
your tools, fucking you're gonna be the strongest person ever
and nothing can fucking stop you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
I think it's something to note and maybe backtrack even
out a little bit. Is you talking about, you know,
burning bridges with friends and I know you're you know,
you use your tools to you know, get through things now,
and you know how to deal with things and cope
with things. A little bit differently and in a much
more healthy, healthy way. But you know, when you burn
those bridges with your friends. And I totally feel this

(01:11:17):
because there's a lot of people even now to this
day that when they when I do talk to them,
I understand it's not what it was, But they're still
there for me. Does that make sense? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Yeah, because they love you, they care about you.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
That's step eight making amends.

Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
And I think my big problem was always that I
was taking, never giving, you see what I mean, And
like I would just take, take, take, and then expect more,
expect them to bail me out, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
And oh for sure, dude, And then they're fucking over it, dude.
Way I call every weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
You know, every weekend, call yo, Man, I need a
hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
I need this out of the mud again, bro, And
they're like, fuck, do this guy needs help?

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:56):
And And the worst part is, I think for those
friends are making the decision. And I think that's the
hardest part is they have to make the decision that
even though I love this person, I have to walk away.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
Yeah. They got to clip you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
Yeah, and I and I and I don't I personally
do not faullot one person to clip me. I'm not
mad at them, for sure, get it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
We deserved it, Yeah, we deserve it. Like we don't
deserve anything, dude, No, Like we don't. We don't deserve
our phone, we don't deserve fucking a girlfriend. We don't
deserve like going on serve trips. We don't deserve that
until we really get ourselves back on the right track

(01:12:34):
and we can go out into the real life and
be the best man we can be, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
And I feel like this right here, even being here
today and in you know, Newport, in Cali, and I
feel like this is like kind of a small win
in the sense of being able to look at things
and say like, oh, this is like kind of a
product of me doing the right thing. Ye, And I
think that's a big thing. And for sure, I'm super
home for you. I'm so proud of you because, like we,

(01:13:02):
I feel like you've come such a long way since
I've met you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
I appreciate it, man, and so you sobridy brothers.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Fellows have a choice now we don't have a choice. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
I love it, dude. I love being sober now, Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
You don't wake up feeling like ship Like even this
morning when you woke up and you had a bounce,
It's like if you would have woke up it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Felt so good, I would have been fucked like. I
still felt hungover. It was weird. But I didn't even drink,
you know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
I was just like tired.

Speaker 1 (01:13:31):
I was just tired because the Airbnb bead wasn't soft.
And then I was supposed to surf. I'd even surf.
I just like would whip out my motorcycle and just
start doing Willies all over town. And I thought I
was like the Willie Master. Dude. I was so sick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Did make you want to play for the other team? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
No. I never sucked dick for drugs. No, I didn't
now once.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
No do you think about it?

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Fuck no, no, and never got that bad.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
What's the price?

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
I don't know. Fifty million dollars with a condom and
no eye contact.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
Such a liar, there's no way, no eye contact for
contact in the car.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
Fifty mil.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
I would suck a dick for a million dollars and
I would frame it the well you say I would frame.
I would frame the picture of the dick on.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
Just to remind you of how fucking sick you are.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
I mean, i'd have a million dollars though. It would
be a really good coming.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Yeah, but you'd probably blow it in the fucking year
if you're John.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Now, if you had caught me a couple of years ago,
for sure, yeah, i'd invest it. You know, i'd probably
buy a house.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
Well, yeah, for sure. You know you have to live
with yourself that you suck that dick and like we don't.
We don't do that, dude, Like I would never like
get go that low.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Wait wait wait, wait, wait, you're telling me right now,
like some dude walked up to you with a million
dollars in cash, cash money, hands it to you and
he goes sean, listen, no, no, this is insane. But
if you just give me a fucking just till I finish. No,
it's not going to be like a thirty minute low job.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Already I already told myself, no, no, you're doing it. No,
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
All right, give me the million bucks. I'll deny it
right now. I ain't sucking no one's dick, dude. I'll
work hard for that money, dude, I'll work for that money.
I don't need to suck dick.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
No, I believe you. I'm just saying, if the opportunity
presented itself.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Nah, I've built a strong foundation, dude, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Yeah, No, you have a strong note dick sucking policy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
Yeah, that's like that's like too low dude, that's no way,
that's like some like fucked up ship. I'm not like
that's I'm sick in the head, but not that sick,
you know what I mean. But anyway, you're you're sick
in the heads though. You need a therapist.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
I definitely need you have a therapist. I have a therapist.

Speaker 1 (01:15:45):
Yeah. Good, My therapist helps me out.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
My therapist is couterword, but yes, I have a therapist.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
Oh so, yeah, you have to do it. I like
choose to do it, might not. I like choo, yeah,
I choose to do it rather well, and nobody would
or not. Everybody's still, well, that's already happened. Wow, that's
already happened, they said. I like used to fuck cats

(01:16:11):
and ship when I was little because my cats would
get ran over and get launched into the ditch by
my house and they'd be like frozen cats in the ditch.
And like, oh, poopies fucked the cat. I'm like, fuck
you guys, And I was like, the cat fucker, dude.
It was bad. Bro, So I don't know that's.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
His pants and fucked pussy. You've been fucking pussy for
a long time, yeah, I guess so. God damn, I'm sorry, bro,
that's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
God knows the real truth. You know. I never fucked
any cats. They got ran over by a car. There's
just those those bullies, you know, they're just fucking miserable
in their own skin, so they have to like pick
on people to make themselves feel better, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
And I think that's the scariest thing about society right now,
right especially with like social media and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
Well, in society right now, you could like live on
your own, you know how like back in the day,
there's tribes and shit, like they needed each other. Right
in these days, no one needs anyone because it's all
the society's fucked, you know what I mean. That's why
there's like bullies and shit. But like back in the day,
you like, that's why there's tribes and shit, dude, because

(01:17:17):
like they needed each other. And that's how like I
feel like with AA, it's like we need each other there,
you know, or else fucking we're lost.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
You know what drugs were you using consistently? I mean,
I would say within the last two year, we'll call it.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
I think it was twoenty nineteen. I'm in Hawaii and
Who's Job's over? My YouTube is not doing well at all,
like no success on the YouTube, and I'm back to

(01:17:56):
square one. I'm in Jamie's vlogs and stunts for free.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
And you we're talking about Jamie who O'Brien, Jamie O'Brien.
Who is Jamie Obriant?

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Exactly? Who Is Job? Watched the whole season. There's eight seasons,
eight season of Who Is Job?

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
We're going find that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:15):
It's on red Bull TV. I got nineteen million views
on one of the episodes. It's the most viewed episode
on red Bull TV till this day. I go down
a huge storm drain on a surfboard. That's where I
kind of like blew up after that, like they saw
me do that flood drain bombing the flood drain on

(01:18:36):
a surfboard and the storm drain, and that's where I
kind of like got noticed. So it's twenty nineteen I'm
back to Square one filming with Jamie for free. I'm like, dude,
this is fun, like no money, fucking broke star. And

(01:19:03):
I get a call one day from Trip Taylor. He's
one of the producers of Jackass. So I met him
when I was sixteen in Carlsbad, twenty nineteen. Back to
Square one, filming for Jamies vlogs. My YouTube's not excess.
I'm getting zero subscribers. I'm putting out all these videos
but they're not getting views, they're not getting monetized. So

(01:19:25):
I jump onto Jamies vlogs and he's getting monetized. He's
getting the views, but I'm not getting paid. And I
get a call from Trip Taylor. So I met Trip
Taylor when I was sixteen in Carlsbad. My friends Ricky
Whitlock and Adam Knox were trying to film this reality
web series and it never got picked up. So Trip

(01:19:51):
Taylor saw my success with the Red Bull TV show
Who's Job? And he always had me in mind, you know,
he always had me in mind, My boy dude. So
he calls me up, He's like, hey, Poopy's like, I
think they're making a new Jackass movie. I'm trying to
get you on. I was like, no way, what the fuck?
And then like a week later he's like, dude, you
got a skype call with Johnny Knoxville Jeff Tremaine. And

(01:20:15):
I remember that like that time where I was just like, fuck, yes,
I can't wait to get on this skype call. I
was so nervous to get on this call with Knoxville
and Jeff Tremaine, like it couldn't come soon enough, you know.
So I finally get on the skype call within ten minutes,
they're like, all right, we're flying you to LA for
the test shoot. So they fly me to LA and

(01:20:38):
we had the test shoot, and most of the test
shoot bits were in the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
Okay pretty much all of them, like they did. They
didn't refilm, they just used the actual footage. Yeah, the original, like.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
The hot Sauce challenge was a test shoot in the
test shoot.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
For those of you who don't know and haven't seen
the movie, you can find Jackass four and a half
on Netflix. Now that the hot Sauce challenge he's talking
about is it was you, Dave England Preston, Then who
else has put hot sauce.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
In your man?

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
And man, no was we making we man got his
own hot sauce in his ass.

Speaker 1 (01:21:21):
I don't think he ended up like snorting a line
of it. But they never aired it. So there was
some bits that that happened that day, but it never happened.
But yeah, there was like a few of us, and yeah,
that was like my first bit nine am in the
morning in LA and I was like, whoa, this is
a trip, dude. Like my idols, dude, Like I'm fucking

(01:21:42):
They're right next to me and I'm like in the
peanut gallery and like I was like, whoa am I
dreaming or what? Dude. I was like, so like I
don't know on Cloud nine, you know. And then like
two days of the test shoot, I fucking absolutely killed it.
You're like poopies on the crew, dude. Like the biggest

(01:22:02):
dream that I could ever imagine came true, you know,
because it's like full circle, dude. Like I was fucking
shitting in the street because I watched Jackass on the
MTV fucking Friday Nights and now I'm in the movie
with the Crew like part of the Newest like the
young Bloods, you know, and I was just like, what

(01:22:23):
the fuck God is good, you know, And dude, I
just sent it so hard, like I volunteered for everything,
and they're like, all right, boopies, well know you we
know you'll do it, like put your hand down, you know.
It gives give some of the other kids a chance,
you know. And I was like, fuck, no, I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
You know, what was one thing that they put or
they offered to do that? You were like, eh, I
don't necessarily know if I want to do that. Was
there anything that you were like, fuck that, But I'm
gonna do.

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
It the bulls because like once Knoxville got hit by
that bowl, they had something for me lined up. I
was supposed to go out there in like a toolup
suit and the thing was supposed to move and the
bull was supposed to come and hit me. But the
morale got just like fucking vanished from Knoxville, almost like

(01:23:09):
fucking dying. That we called it a day, so I
didn't have to fuck with the bulls. But I still
want to, Like I still want to get hit by
one of those bulls right just for the fuck of it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
I've got a feeling that you could get in touch
with the right people to make that happen.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
Yeah, I do, you know, but I want to have
the boys there. I want to have Knoxville there. I
want to have you know, it's got to be in
something sick it says, can't be a YouTube clip. No,
I understand what I mean. So I'm just waiting for
the right time, you know. But yeah, I was like crazy, dude,
and they just took me in like a brother. Dude.
They're so fucking rad, dude, They're so fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Cool growing up. Did you have a favorite Jackass number?

Speaker 1 (01:23:47):
No, not really. I mean I don't know. They're all
fucking awesome, dude, Like they're all my favorite, you know,
right right. I don't really pick favorites.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
So you did Steve O's Wild Ride podcast, which was
pretty awesome to see you on there. That's that seems
like a great podcast. Evil seems like an awesome guy.
I think it's really cool that you have a relationship
with him to begin with, but I think it's even
cooler that he plays kind of like a big brother
role to you in this sense of like, hey, listen,

(01:24:19):
you need help. You reached out, I'm gonna get you
to help you need you know what I mean, and
kind of going to a great length of that. What
does that mean to you? What does Steve WO mean
to you? I mean I think that for you, I
think that's one of the biggest opportunities you've been given.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
Is to get clean, definitely, right, And so for him
to like he's like my angel, dude. Yeah, Like he's
an angel to me. Like he didn't have to do that,
you know, like he didn't have to reach out and
get me a scholarship into a rehab program, but he
did because he loves me, you know, And like that
shows you how good of a friend he is, you know,

(01:24:53):
to do like something for that for someone because like
I needed it, you know, and he could see that.
But at the same time, he's like, I'm not doing
this because you're fucking gonna do it for me. You
got to do it for yourself, you know. And that's
when I was like, fuck, dude, I'm ready to do it.
I was like ready because I tried to get sober
before and it was because I was doing it for

(01:25:17):
other people, you know, right, But this time I'm doing
it for myself. But yeah, dude, Steve O, I can't
think him enough, dude, Like, I don't know, man, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
I think it's I think that's the I think that's
so cool that he did that.

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
Yeah, dude, he's the radest guy ever, radest human in
the world, dude, like straight up one of them. Like
there's so many that helped me out and like want
the best for me, you know, he honestly wants the
best for me. And like it's kind of awesome to
have Steve O like wanting the best for me. Like
I'm just some normal kid from Carlsbad, you know. But

(01:25:51):
we became good friends and we had a lot of
fun film in the movie and yeah, we just connected.
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
That's like, yeah, those are those are I think kind
of those are the kind of relationships that are so
special and then will remain special. And I think it's
super super cool that you're able to reach out to him,
you know, basically whenever you want and say, hey, listen,
you know, even just to have a conversation or whatever
it might be. He seems to just be like an
integral role. And I think it's also been great for
you from what I've seen, so also have somebody that

(01:26:21):
you don't want to let down, right.

Speaker 1 (01:26:23):
Yeah, definitely, Like I got I want to make all
those guys proud, you know, and that's like, fuck, that
just makes me happy, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
And what they're doing for you shows that they want
to they want that for you, you know what I mean.
It's not just cheering you on from the corner. It's like,
hey man, we're gonna take action. Let me let me
fucking help you out. Yeah, definitely, let's get your head.

Speaker 1 (01:26:42):
And like I'm still kind of slipping up, you know,
but I'm just learning, you know, Like I don't know,
I just even if I'm even when I'm sober, I'm
still like doing dumb shit, you know. But it's just
I'm just working on myself. You know. I'm just still
working on myself. You know. Doesn't happen in one day.
It doesn't happen in one month. It happens in the years, dude,
you know what I mean. So eventually I'll get to

(01:27:03):
that level where I'm just like fucking at Stevo's level.
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
He's like and I don't obviously know Stevo, but like
from the what I've watched, he's like hardcore. I mean
he said, you know, like he loves the smell of weed.
But like he was even like at a premiere of
some sort and they were smoking a bunch of weed,
and you know, he like walked out. So it's he
walked out because it's like it's not that he's smoking.
He's not that he doesn't enjoy the smell. It's just
he knows himself well enough at that point. Yeah, gonna

(01:27:30):
be out of it. I'm be out there.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
Respect.

Speaker 2 (01:27:32):
It's even respect for himself at that point, you know
what I mean. It's like, I respect myself, my sobriety,
and the people around me that have worked so hard
to help me get where I'm at. Where I'm saying,
fuck that, you know exactly. And that's I think another
great lesson to take out of it is just to
not even tempt yourself with certain things. Definitely, and that
I'm in the same boat, you know. And I totally
understand where you're coming from.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
If weed's the hardest one to kick, you know, because
that's where it all started from, with smoking weed, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
And how much read were you smoking every day?

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
Fuck dude, as much as I could. I remember I
was buying like five sacks.

Speaker 2 (01:28:10):
Oh you're just doing nickel bags, bro.

Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
No, this is this is how you This is how
you come up though, from the nickel bags. You have
twenty bucks, right, but you buy five five sacks a day,
or you buy four five sacks a day.

Speaker 2 (01:28:25):
And then he never said he was good at math.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
No, no, I'm not horrible man. But yeah, so I
started buying four five sacks a day, and my my
dealer was like, bro, you gotta stop doing that, like
just spin the twenty bucks, right, But I was just like, fuck,
just one more five sack, one more five sack. You know,
all I need is a little nug to get stoned, right,

(01:28:48):
And yeah, So then my my dealer is like, bro,
you gotta stop, like give me your twenty bucks. I'll
give you a gram, and don't fucking call me five
times a day.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
You know, we used to get a fat eighth for
twenty bucks, but it would be so Mexican stomped out
brick weed. But the thing was it would get you
stupid fucking high. Yeah you know what I'm saying, Like
it would get you the giggly high.

Speaker 1 (01:29:08):
Right, for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
I miss those days. I really do, like where you
just get so stoned. I don't really I love I.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Like being like but I like being sober, like I've
fucking smoked me my whole life, dude. Like it's finally,
like I finally like kicked the addiction.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
You know what about nicotine?

Speaker 1 (01:29:25):
Then Nicotine's a that's the hardest one too.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
What do you think is worse for you nicotine or marijuana?

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
Nicotine? Probably? Yeah, probably, But it's like it's not like
I don't know, it's not illegal. It's like, okay, I
guess with the society smoking, it's okay with AA that
I can smoke nicotine. My first cigarette is probably when
I was twelve years old.

Speaker 2 (01:29:49):
Damn you started early.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
It was a marble light from my mom's cigarette pack,
and I like smoked it probably and I got so
light headed, dude, but like, and I would just do
it by myself too. But I don't know. It was weird. Man,
I don't know, this is weird. I had that fucking
disease of addiction, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
Yeah, And I think, like I said, man, I'll keep
saying it. I think you're doing so good. I always
I say this in every podcast of mine. I always say,
there's a difference between uh, somebody that wants the best
for you and that's somebody There's a difference between somebody
who wants the best for you and in comparison to
somebody who believes in you. Definitely right, because there's a
lot of people out there that'll be like, oh, man, like, well,

(01:30:33):
I want him to do great. I want him to
be great. But the reality of it is they may not.

Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
Give me the chance to do great, you see what
I'm saying. So like, Jackass gave me the chance, you know,
and I fucking tried my hardest, you know, I tried
my best, you know. And there's you know, we didn't
when we film. We weren't like using substances or drinking alcohol.
We were I was sober the whole time we're filming.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Jackass, you played dong pong, and that is when for
our listeners out there, for anybody that's not seen it,
dong pong is when you basically we put two pieces
of plexiglass on top of another plexiglass.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
Yeah, and you have a wing nut that fucking wing
nuts out so it cinches it down slowly, and all
of a sudden, your digs this flat. And I never
knew my dick could get that fucking flat. Bro. I
was like, holy shit, dude, what the fuck's going on
and we're trying to play ping pong. Penis ping pong,
you know, dong pong.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Yeah, so there's two people involved in this. One is
on one side, the other.

Speaker 1 (01:31:33):
Dave England, dude legend.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
So you and Dave England are sword fighting.

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
And he's the funniest guy ever, the best part of
that whole thing. He's the funniest dude.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
He's like, yeah, He's like, let's have a tuggle war, dude,
and your penis just fucking snaps. Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
I was over it, dude. I pulled it out. I'll
sell over the tuggle war bros. I get my dick
out of this contraption. And that's what I had to
do to get it out. Like I had to pull
it out myself and fucking hurt. But it went back
to normal, Like, it fucking went back to the normal shape.
I maybe a little longer. It kind of stretched it
out too.

Speaker 2 (01:32:08):
Oh nice. See there's a benefit of this.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
Yeah, man, they might dig bigger. Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
You know what's so cool too, is how you look
at the glass half full on everything. You know, that's
something well, if you really do everything.

Speaker 1 (01:32:20):
If you don't look at life in a positive way,
fuck you're not gonna be successful. Like you can look
at situations in a negative way or a positive way,
And like I learned to look at things in a
positive way because there's been so much negative in my life.
If I looked at all the negative, I wouldn't fucking
be where I'm at right now, you know. So I

(01:32:40):
have to like just like get myself through those situations
looking at the positive things. And that's how I became
so successful, and like how I do, That's how I
get through life. You know, you were because everything like
something fucked up happens. I'm like, well, at least that
fucking happened, you know, instead of like, oh fuck, Like

(01:33:01):
I can't like worry about that, Like you'll drive yourself crazy,
you know what I mean. So like I look at
the positive things, even though it's a fucked up negative situation.
I'll take the positives out.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Once you get sober. And I think you're gonna test
to this dude, Like you end up seeing the path
not the obstacles, right, Like you understand the path you're
going down and even.

Speaker 1 (01:33:19):
For yeah, you're gonna hit those hurdles.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
There, but you're gonna get over them. I mean when
you got the tools, dog, Yeah, that's it. That's it.
You got the tools. So you you know, you have
a couple other stunts that I wanted to chat with
you about. Here, you've got your you showed you which
is you want to ladder.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):

ladder and you sledgehammer. Yeah yeah, dude, that looked like it,
but you land on your fucking I had to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):

that they had.

Speaker 1 (01:33:59):
Was like a everyone, dude. They wanted to see me
eat ship like they wanted to see the real all
show me go down because you pretty much hit the
ladder and the ladder just gets fucking like just like
I don't know how do you explain it, but it
underneath you do that, it goes right underneath your feet

(01:34:20):
and then you're just pretty much gravity takes a hold dude,
and he goes Boom like gravity a bitch sometimes, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
That's my son's favorite video of you. He loves that, dude.
He's ever in a mood. Right yeah, he said, Hi,
oh I will dude, uncle pooh baby. Yeah, but they do.
Yeah you have. So you have that stunt you did
the dong pong. What's it like in a tennis ball
in the nuts about a hundred miles?

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Holy shit, bro, she's so good at her aim.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
Oh dude, that was crazy.

I was like, holy ship, that was a good shot.
Clown down, that's what that was called. Clown down. That

(01:35:14):
was so fucking fun to do. And then and then
Eric Andre was getting hit everywhere else but his dick
and he's like, come on already, like and then finally
Boom and his dick.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Well, I like to impressed and got my favorite bit
like was an elephant one, dude. The elephant one dude
is so fucking funny.

Speaker 6 (01:35:34):
And wow, he's fucking classic watching like, yeah we made
because that ball. Well, they're all tied together so they
can't run. And then it's like they built this huge
ass fucking potato gun pretty much, and maybe it look
like a hunting.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
Like a softball.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
It didn't look like like what was it was like
the material of a softball.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
Yeah, it wasn't soft.

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
Because that ball was going everyoy of one hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Yeah, dude, they had it was a huge potato gun. Yeah,
that thing was fucked. I'm glad I was behind the
fucking camera on that one, all right. So they did
a great job though, Like that was so awesome, Like
they gotten the character ponies is like creeping around like
a hunter. David England's just like doing the same thing.
It was so fucking funny watching that. Dude, that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
You went to you went to a lake and you
had a jet pack strap to you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:30):
Oh yeah, that one was hard. Like I fucking kept
releasing the Z two like way earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
How many runs did you get?

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
Oh? They got like two?

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
You got two runs, but I mean the sun was
going down.

Speaker 1 (01:36:46):
That's why. If we had more time, I probably gotten
more runs. But we had Bonifey parks Parks Bonifey there,
and he's the ski master, you know, so we're like
fucking show him what's up parts, and like he showed
us what's up. He launched. Dude, it looked like he's
the man. He's so rad.

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
It looked like a fucking hurt when you hit, like
after you go off the ramp, because you're just I mean,
you're you're still gaining speed at that point right you
hit the water.

Speaker 1 (01:37:09):
It's probably bro the first one I hit, and then
it like shot me down, and I thought I was
gonna go underneath the ramp and like drown fly forward,
like I flew forward, and then I like started going down.
He was pushing me down into the like underneath the ramp.
That's only my worst fear was like going underneath that
ramp and not getting out because I had flotation on
Twitter just like cork me out and I would have

(01:37:31):
been stuck under there.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
What was your favorite song? What was your favorite song?

Speaker 1 (01:37:35):
Probably the water Skis with the big fans and the
and the parachute.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
Water Skis with the beer. Did I see that one?

Speaker 1 (01:37:43):
I don't know the movie. Yeah, water Skis with a.

Speaker 2 (01:37:46):
Big fan in the parachute. What am I missing it?

Speaker 1 (01:37:48):
It's called hot Shit water Skier, Hot Shit water skime.
I don't know why poopies and I'm a hot shit
water skier. And then they fucking turned the fans on
with the parachute and I fly and I land and
get knocked out. I was knocked out for so long.
It was sick. It was sick. Yeah, and I woke up.
I was like, did I launch? Did I? Oh? You launched?

(01:38:11):
I was like, what happened? It was sick, dude. I
was so pumped on that one.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
Is your goal to kind of get hurt?

Speaker 1 (01:38:17):
Well, that's the goal of jackasses, to get hurt. Yeah.
I just if you're not getting hurt on a stunt,
then you're not doing it right.

Speaker 2 (01:38:23):
What's the most thing most hurt you've ever been on
any stunt? Besides the shark attack, which we're gonna talking.

Speaker 1 (01:38:29):
About, probably probably the fucking knockout with the water skis
for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
So that was like I was gnarly. I hit my
head so hard and I just slid like lifeless. Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
I believe it. I believe it. So you go to.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
They're like medics, and I finally woke up. But yeah,
that's sick.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
When you woke up though, where you just did you
know where you were.

Speaker 1 (01:38:56):
Yeah, I knew I was, I know what happened, but
I you can like, I know I got knocked out
because you like have that numbing feeling, you know, right,
it's like numbing and then like kind of blurry and
then like everyone's there watching.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
That's the worst though, when you wake up efter getting
knocked out and you're like you're laying the gnarly dude,
You're like, what happened? What did I do?

Speaker 1 (01:39:17):
Yeah? It was gnarly. You loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
You go when you go on Shark Week was two
years ago. It was two years ago. You hit Shark
Week and you go to you go out in the
middle of the ocean and they throw a ramp out there.

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
Yeah. So they were building these ramps and the first
ramp they built we're in the we're in the Bahamas,
and the first ramp they built was like a huge
wooden ramp and they fucking launched it off the boat
and then they the fucking thing hit the water. Then
it turns like sideways and just sinks, and they're like, fuck, well,

(01:39:52):
I guess that ramp's not working. So they had this
other ramp, this little plastic foam ramp that could float
because it was foam. And they set that thing out
there and they fucking start chumming the sharks up, dude.
And then I was on my water skis and what
kind of struts were they? Caribbean ree sharks? But I
was on my water skis and we're doing circles, you know,

(01:40:13):
and those guys didn't really know what's going on because
my knees are fucking getting like sore, not sore, but
like there's no more like power left on my knees.
You know, you're tired. Yeah, my knees got so tired.
So I was like, fuck, dude, I can't really like
do it anymore. They're like, well, get the wakeboard. So
they gave me the wakeboard, and I was like, we
gotta do this like one and done. Like you can't

(01:40:36):
just told me around in circles, you know, and wait
for the cameras to be on. My cameras are on,
like let's get let's wait for the current to take
me in a straight line, then go. And he fucking
he's the man, dude, so he he tored me into
the ramp and I hit the ramp, but I was
going so fast that I just like got launched, you know,
there's no control. So I get launched in the shark pit,

(01:40:56):
a fucking a frenzy, a frenzy of sharks, and they're
just were there like actually there's like ten, dude, Like
actually ten sharks.

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
That what's going through your head when you're going off
this ramp going.

Speaker 1 (01:41:11):
On, I'm fucking I don't know, dude, Like, fuck, I
hope I clear it, because I'm not. I'm dead. So
I fucking in the middle of the air, I go,
oh fuck, I'm not clearing this one, like boom into
the shark bit. And that's when I was like, I'm fucked.
Like I look at the boys. I go, I'm fucked,
Like this is it? All of a sudden brah, fucking

(01:41:34):
get bit, you know, on my hand, and the thing
like pulled me under and it's so strong, Like the
shark is so fucking strong, dude, it felt like it
felt like a robot jaws, like like a hydraulic fucking
hand just went and crushed my hand and just fucking
yanked it. That's what it felt like. It was so

(01:41:56):
fucking strong. And then like I got bit and I
was like, oh fuck, I fucking I felt its gums
and the top of my fingers, Like, I felt its
gums on top of my fingers, and I was like,
oh fuck, I the shark just spit me. I just
got bit.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
It was your whole hand in the shark's mouth or
is it just like on the side.

Speaker 1 (01:42:13):
It was like my whole hand was in his mouth.
He got me on my wrist, so like all that,
all this right here was in his mouth. So this
was only the only part that was like out of
its mouth, my whole hand. I know, dude. The surgeons
were fucking good, dude. I remember going into surgery. Dude,

(01:42:35):
they unwrapped it and then all started squirting blood everywhere. Again.
I was like, fuck, I don't look at it. Don't
look at it. I was like, just looking at it
squirt blood everywhere. And then I went into surgery and
I fucking woke up with this huge tomb cast and
I fucking was like, bro, I saw my fingers and
I started moving my fingers and I was like, yep,
I fucking got my hand.

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
Oh yeah, dude, that's the w right there is your hand.
The limbs are still intang Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:43:01):
I went like this. I was like, holy fuck, I
can move it, but that's the only movement I had, dude,
And then I fucking slowly fucking got it all back,
you know what I mean, Like so much fucking physical therapy.
Eight months of physical therapy.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
You're wearing like a something on your hand for a
while as well, like when you were going in the
water and stuff. You know what I'm talking about, like
a sleeve on your hand.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
I was probably my brace. Yeah yeah, what what was
that for?

Speaker 2 (01:43:29):
I mean, there was that like replayer that you wear
that after the factor was just.

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
Like it was just for the safety. So my fucking
my hand doesn't fucking fall off because it was just
attached by stitches.

Speaker 2 (01:43:40):
You know, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:43:42):
There was every tendon in my hand, every tendon and
two main arteries. So when the shark pit me, all
the tendons went up here and back here, so they
had to reattach every tendon and two main arteries.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Do you have like.

Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Imagine trying to attach up main artery Like that's fucking gnarly.

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
Do you have? Do you have a feeling loss in
your hand right now?

Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
Yeah? I can't fill my hand.

Speaker 2 (01:44:05):
Really, no way, So you can just give yourself strangers
whenever you want.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
No, yoh, what out where do I park? Just park
on the street, I think, and then where Yeah, I'm
like over here by Thunderbird. All right, let me. I'm
on Adam Street. So if you go down Adam Street,
make a left and you'll see me.

Speaker 2 (01:44:31):
We'll just park.

Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
Just park on the street. But if you walk towards
the beach on Adam Street, go to the left once
you hit the beach, all right, all right, now, okay, yeah,
ge alright, all right. But yeah, that was the shark bite.
It was the fucking first shark bite in Shark Week history.

(01:44:53):
In thirty years, no one's ever been bit on the production.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
You got a fucking bit, man, And then you were
getting towed away, and you screamed to Steve, O, I
want a bonus.

Speaker 1 (01:45:02):
No, I screamed to Jeff Tremaine because he was right there.
They're all worried, dude, They're all fucking like. Steve had
to go up to the top of the boat because
he couldn't see it anymore. He was like he was
just he was just like so heartbroken that I got bit,
you know. And then I looked at Jeff, I go,
I want a bonus. And they all started laughing. And

(01:45:28):
then I think the cameraman, I think it was a
meach or Rick causa it goes, what did he say,
Steve O goes he said he wants a bonus and
he starts laughing. But yeah, dude. Then I had a
boat ride to the dock and then a van ride
to the to the airport. And then when I got
to the airport, it was like they're on like fucking

(01:45:49):
lunch break or something. They didn't even care I got
bit by a shark. They're just walking around all slow.
I was like, dude, my hands bleeding to death. Dude,
like I'd still have my turn the kids on and ship.
But yeah, I was horrible, dude, but I still got
it on. I'm still surfing and ship. So that was
like my main word is I couldn't surf ever again.

(01:46:11):
So well, I'm stugked.

Speaker 2 (01:46:13):
I'm super pumped that you're back out here doing your thing.
I'm glad that you're sober, I'm glad that you're making videos.
I'm glad that you finally got to come out here.

Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
Yeah, dude, this has been fun, and we still have tomorrow.
We're going to the desert.

Speaker 2 (01:46:26):
We've got time. And uh, I really appreciate you opening
up by your struggle because I think a lot of
people care about it. They want to hear it. And
then on top of that too, maybe today you gave
somebody an extra tool to use in their tool belt.

Speaker 1 (01:46:39):
Yeah, struggling, I hope. So so if you guys need help, dude,
just reach out for help, dude, Like it's so easy.
Like maybe you don't have the money to go into rehab,
to start going to AA meetings, dude, Like that's like
the best thing you could ever do for yourself is
go to an AA meeting, find that AA group, a sponsor,

(01:47:01):
and it'll all just come. Dude, it all just come naturally, Like,
but you gotta want it, you know, you gotta want it.
So if you're struggling out there, reach out to an
AA group, go to your meetings, get a sponsor, use
the tools, and just build that strong foundation and you'll
you'll you'll be successful, I promise. But yeah, I have

(01:47:23):
where's that one going? Probably Dallas in Vegas, yep, I know,
just a guess.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
So my last question, man, is honest, I always ask
everybody this to wrap it up on a scale of
one to ten. Uh for your happiness? Where would you
rate yourself right now? And then what do you think
if it's not a ten, what can you do to
improve in the next like you know, year or you
know whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:47:47):
I'd say, like I'm a seven in happiness and to
improve my happiness, I don't know, save my money, buy
nice things, own stuff, ownership of things of nice things.

Speaker 2 (01:48:03):
And he's a materialistic kind of guy, A little.

Speaker 1 (01:48:05):
Bit of Yeah, sobriety's number one. My recovery is number
one right now in my life and just yeah, I
work on myself more and be the best man I
can and then when you know, try to help others.

a time of escape from everything that was going on
