00:01:17Well, the beginning of it was shortly after my book came out.
00:01:23So, I kind of understood why people wanted a doc from me at that point.
00:01:29And I was honored and I was flattered and I was going down the journey of filming this doc, but it didn't really have an ending.
00:01:42I guess the light at the end of the tunnel during that time around 2017 was that I was sober and I survived a plane crash.
00:01:49But really, I was struggling with ever flying again, struggling with survivor's guilt, struggling with a lot of stuff.
00:02:00And at the time, the directors had mentioned to me, like, can you just look at a plane or act like you're going to go fly in a plane or walk towards a plane?0.97
00:02:14For like fantasy purposes, for the end of this dock, you know?
00:02:20And I think that set in after a while where I had to acknowledge and just understand I was afraid to ever fly again.
00:02:33And this thing had huge power over me to the point where it dictated how I got on tour, how many days I'd travel on bus to New York, how many days I'd be on the Queen Mary II going to England.
00:03:39We got into a couple storms on one of the transatlantic crossings that, yeah, believe me, like something was festering inside where I had this urge to.
00:03:52To try to figure out what had this power over me, which was flying.
00:03:59Yeah, I think about it every day after a certain point.
00:04:02And then, plus my kids, you know, they grew up not flying.
00:04:06They grew up associating a plane to a metal container where people die, I think, you know, unfortunately, because that's what happened, you know, to my two best friends and the two pilots who were on my plane.
00:04:24And then I knew the day I did it, I could show them that they could also do it.
00:04:29And it would probably break the trauma and the spell that my accident caused however many years ago.
00:04:37And yeah, I think after my accident and that whole process, I just, everything people said I couldn't do after that, I would just check them off one by one.
00:07:28And I think also coming to terms with being so close to my godson, who was my assistant's son who passed away in my plane crash, and his mom and Che's mom, and just knowing that there was no hard feelings and.
00:07:48The survivor's guilt I was feeling was my own.
00:07:52and to just think about them and if the roles were reversed, would they want me to really just sit around not flying again or have this thing have power over me?
00:08:04Or if I was in their shoes, would I want that for them?
00:08:09Yeah, it's an experience that so few people ever have.
00:08:14I mean, I can't imagine what it's like, especially losing your friends and just the trauma of the actual impact, the whole thing just stuck in your head.
00:08:25Yeah, I mean to this day I always like my wife's a great flyer My band they're all good flying, you know, I think they can my wife can probably envision a trip plan a trip envision how rad it's gonna be how cool it's gonna be doing rock climbing or whatever we're gonna do all I can think about until I get there is like am I gonna make it is is this gonna You know,
00:08:47I did this once and I almost died so you know, I had to just stop that pattern of thinking To the best of my ability it still happens a little bit, but I still can't I have trouble booking planes.
00:08:59I have trouble booking flights without thinking of those things.
00:09:33But during that time, where after I'd gotten out of the burn center and did most of my recovery, it was hard to find anyone who had been in a plane crash that was severely burnt, like, you know, and lost people.
00:09:49There was a lot of groups and a lot of people that, like, support systems for people who were grieving and lost someone in a plane crash, you know?
00:09:56So it was kind of just lonely trying to navigate, figure it out just recently, just like.
00:10:04A few days ago, before my doc came out, someone kept tagging me and I saw it.
00:10:42You know, just share it with somebody and realize like you've both been through something pretty horrible, but you came out on the other side and find comfort in each other.
00:12:50You land, that's what I do now, and it's like go.
00:12:53Where I would just train every day, play drums four hours a day, run two hours a day.
00:12:59By the time I got ready, you know, to where I was going, I'm like, I'm so ready for tour.
00:13:03It's like, whatever life throws at me, I'm good.
00:13:07It's just crazy that even the Queen Mary II getting across in 10 days, that's got to be like way faster than the old boats used to do it, right?
00:14:19I think we lost a couple windows in the ship, and you're basically confined to your room, but huge where you just see the boat go up and then you go crashing down and you're.
00:14:31You know, you're four or five days into the trip, so you still got, you're in the middle of your crossing.
00:16:44Yeah, I know a dude who just did that.0.80
00:16:46But that's, I mean, the people back when there was no internet, back when there was no newspapers or no nothing, like the Polynesian people, that just got on boats and made it to Hawaii.0.78
00:21:49But even you, when you were recovering from your burns, you started eating meat.
00:21:53Well, because I had doctors that were super old school in the hospital with me that figured out I wasn't eating because they were trying to feed me a bunch of meat and they stuck a hose down my throat.
00:26:10Get in a plane coming home from a show and You're gonna end up in a burn center for six months, you know four people are gone and 70% of your body's burnt Takes a minute to process, you know, why did they think you were never gonna be able to play the drums again?
00:26:29Well, there was a point where they were gonna amputate my foot because they didn't think they could they could They they had enough skin left to to heal my foot or save it and then Because of the amount of burns I had over my body, they weren't positive I was even going to make it.
00:26:52So it was like once they knew I was out of critical condition and I was going to make it, all my nerves were messed up in my hands.
00:27:01Like my ulnar nerve was shot in both hands.
00:29:34It was like, yeah, I had this thing that had power for me for 20 years, but I fly again.
00:29:40And I think the other parts of the doc, like an amazing, like, rough relationship with my dad when I was younger turned into something, like, beautiful where he's, like, my best friend.
00:30:07I fucking didn't know how I was gonna get out of where I grew up.0.94
00:30:11And I just played every day and I was relentless.0.99
00:30:14And I joined every band and I played with everyone and I practiced two to five hours a day, you know?
00:30:21So just even giving some kid hope knowing that he can do the same thing was like a big part of my documentary that I felt like could help a lot of people.
00:30:58Yeah, there's two great messages in there.1.00
00:31:00The big one is that you can overcome, that no matter how fucked up things are, if you keep going and if you keep, you stay positive, you do the right thing, you trust the process, at the end of it, you'll come out better.
00:31:34And kids need to hear that, especially kids in this world where everybody thinks everything comes quick and everybody wants a TikTok mindset and everybody wants a pill to lose weight.
00:31:54And so many people, I don't know, there's not a lot of balance, right?
00:31:58Like, I've found more balance now, but it's like, no, you've got to be fucking obsessed and you've got to be relentless and you've got to, while all your homies are out doing whatever, you should be practicing.
00:32:11Like, I'm so, you know, my parents were, they were really strict with me.0.99
00:32:16Like, yo, if you want to go skateboarding, you want to go ride BMX bikes, go whatever, fuck off with your friends, you've got to go play drums for three hours.0.99
00:33:27Whatever it is, whether it's art, whether it's music, whether it's literature, whatever you're doing, writing, whatever you're doing, carpentry, whatever it is, just become obsessed with a thing, get better at it, and you realize that, okay, there's a process.
00:35:31Yeah, I mean, I guess that's just how it has to be.
00:35:36In order for there to be outliers, there's always going to be people that just whatever, for whatever reason, never follow through, never do what they really want to do, you know.
00:35:56There's a lot of people that wish they had the energy or the inspiration or the discipline or whatever it is to do the thing that they want to do, to get up and just do something that really brings them joy, really brings them excitement, really makes them feel fulfilled, really ignites that creative fire inside of them where you do something and it's done.0.99
00:36:55I remember there's this guy named Harry Shannon that was like very instrumental in helping me get sober or me trying to get sober before my accident when I got sober.
00:37:04And he's like, You know, I have to ask men, like, if you died right now, would you be the man you'd want people to remember you by?
00:37:11And I'm like, I need to get to that place.
00:37:15You know, that's just where I want to sit, that's where I want to live.
00:37:27Like, if you wanted to be inspired by somebody and watch a documentary on somebody doing some just someone who's like, wow, that fucking dude's getting after it.0.97
00:38:05And that's what's, I think, really important about people like you telling your story is that there's a lot of young people out there that don't have anybody like you in their life and they can see it and relate to you and it gives them fuel.
00:38:18It can, your story and just you talking about things passionately can change a young person's life.
00:38:25There's a young girl or a young guy out there that can hear you and that.
00:38:29Just your story makes them take a step, makes them go in the right direction, makes them make a move.
00:39:48There's a lot of healthy people in this town.
00:39:49And I didn't, my goal was to just wake up and walk.
00:39:52I went to like this good espresso spot that has like cortados, had a coffee, and then I have like long shorts on, like sweat shorts, cut off sweats, suicidal tendency sweats, and high socks and just regular shoes.
00:40:06And where I come from, where I grew up, was called the Inland Empire.
00:40:09Like, and I'm like, oh my God, I look so Inland Empire right now.
00:40:52To win that feeling where you in LA where you have like those boot camps or whatever, but there's no organized boot camp, there's just people out there getting after it.
00:41:06I mean, it's become the jujitsu hub of the country, really.
00:41:09Yeah, it's kind of crazy, and it all happened during the pandemic.
00:41:12You know, there's a lot of things that changed about this place because people got sick of whatever the restrictions were for where they lived, whether it was New York or LA, and they came here.
00:41:21And a lot, well, it started out with Gordon Ryan, Gordon Ryan, and John Donahue, who are the like.
00:41:26Gordon's the greatest jiu jitsu athlete of all time, and he moved here.
00:41:30And John Donahoe is the greatest coach of all time, and he moved here, and they set up shop.
00:41:34And then all the guys they train with came here, and then a ton of other people just moved here and started up schools, too.
00:41:40So there's a ton of jiu jitsu going on here, a ton of MMA going on here.
00:41:45There's gyms everywhere, all these functional fitness gyms.
00:41:51There's an energy of people that want to do something, that really want to be active, they want to be excited about something, they want to make something happen.
00:42:01A lot of that was accentuated by the fact that this town became like a symbol of change for them.0.95
00:42:09Like, wherever the fuck I used to live before, now I'm going to move to this new thing and I'm going to really take advantage of the fact that this is different.0.91
00:44:55It's just having a place where a bunch of like minded people are trying to do the same thing is so important.
00:45:02And if you don't have that in your life, that's what I was talking about like your story and your documentary.
00:45:06And just hearing you talk about stuff is so important for people because we all need other people that are doing a similar thing or at least doing a thing that we wish we were doing.
00:45:17That it gives us, and it might not be for them, it might not be playing the drums, it might be painting, it might be something else, but it's like.0.61
00:45:23Oh, that guy has that feeling about drums the way I have this feeling about playing guitar, or I have this feeling about drawing pictures, whatever the fuck it is.
00:45:33It's like you need to know that this feeling that you have inside of you of wanting to do something special is not unique.0.93
00:46:52And then the next day I'm running and I don't even know where his spot is.
00:46:56And I'm running and then there's his dojo, like, you know, his gym.
00:47:01And I just walked in and started training.
00:47:03But being around him and like his story, like being around people who have inspiring stories and are motivating and are productive and are hungry and, you know?
00:48:15So, a lot of people, I figured out after years and years and years of working out with different people, what's best for me is fast twitch and lots of reps, lots of sprints, quick explosive energy.
00:48:35And then a few days is more like slow strength training, but only followed by, like, I have to finish with something fast, whether it's 10 rounds on the bag or whatever else.
00:48:47Or I literally, I remember there was a tour and I was working out with someone and we hadn't yet figured it out.
00:48:53We work out still together and we do something called tempo training.
00:48:57So whatever music is on, you're doing it to the tempo, you're doing it for the length of the song.
00:49:01So it's much longer than you would normally do something.
00:49:05And it's much quicker than you normally do something, but that's how I play the drums, and that's gonna help me once I go back to what I do and it's functional for what I do.
00:49:16But when I wasn't doing that and I was just throwing around heavy weights and I was putting on muscle, I got behind a kit and I remember I hadn't really tested it out, and it was the worst feeling in the world.
00:50:46The average person that wants to work out, like, I don't get to do that, you know, even though it's cool or you look cool, you put on a certain amount of muscle, whatever.
00:51:26Definitely certain exercises I could do once I start training jujitsu again to make sure my legs are cool.
00:51:32Well, a lot of like really elite jujitsu guys are not bulky at all.
00:51:35There's a lot of like really thin guys that are like very, very high level, especially because there's weight classes.
00:51:41And you know, what's really important is technique.
00:51:43You know, it's tricky is the hands too, like not crushing my hand and making sure I'm always like gripping properly and not leaving my fingers out.
00:55:38And I think I'd done it in the past, and it was a lot of fun, and it was almost like chess up here, but I didn't feel like it was much of a workout.
00:55:50Whereas with him, it's like two hours, he's making it like a show.
00:55:57There's no stopping for long periods of time, and we're just dripping sweat.
00:56:02And I weigh a buck fifty, and he's whatever, two hundred, you know?
00:56:06And he's just, yeah, it's a workout, and it's just challenging, and you're engaged the whole time, and yeah, it just feels good.
00:56:15And then if you watch fights, you really appreciate what's going on because you've tried to do that, and you know, like, yeah, because a lot of people get very delusional when they watch fights, like, oh, well, I gotta get in there, I'll fucking, I'd fuck these guys up.0.94
00:56:49It gives you a real true appreciation of the amount of effort and the amount of discipline and intensity that this guy's put in over years and years and years to achieve this level where you're watching something spectacular in front of.
00:57:0315,000 people and millions of people on television.
00:57:47And then to start a fresh round where I'm trying to sleep him was, it was impossible to begin with, but it was even more impossible, you know?0.99
00:58:02Dominic Cruz, when he was the champion, when he was a bantamweight champion, had some of the most.
00:58:08Elusive footwork that anybody had ever seen before.
00:58:10It was so unique and so different, and you couldn't get anybody to emulate it in training because Dom's system he pretty much developed on his own.
00:58:19And there's a lot of videos of him training it, a lot of videos of him moving.
00:58:23And it's so unusual that you see guys in front of him and they're just mesmerized because it's step, step here, step, step there, pop, step, step here, kick, step, step here, elbow.0.99
01:00:02They just realize, like, what do I have physically as my tools, and how can I implement these tools in a way that's different than anything that these guys have seen before?
01:00:34The style developed out of that because before Dominic Cruz, there really was no one who had footwork like that, not even close.
01:00:42And so when you see TJ, you know, like who, in my opinion, was one of the greatest bantamweights of all time, like when he beat Hennen Barrow, which was Hennen Barrow at the time was thought to be, if not the best pound for pound fighter in the world, at least number two behind Jose Aldo, and he was undefeated.
01:01:04I mean, it was, and he went out there like he was sparring.
01:01:06It wasn't even like he was fighting for the world title.
01:01:09He went out there like super loose and focused and relaxed and just switching stances and cutting angles and hitting him with shots and moving to the left and hitting him with a head kick to the right.1.00
01:02:52And it sucks because, you know, some of these guys have so much more to give in their mind and their body just fails them after a certain point in time.
01:03:00And you see that with some of these older guys.0.86
01:03:03It's like they've just had a bunch of knee surgeries and maybe a back surgery and this and that.
01:03:07And then they're a shadow of themselves inside the octagon.
01:05:32And, you know, he's got a family and he's in this situation where it's like, I want to be there for my family.
01:05:37I don't want to be this guy that's like completely compromised when I'm 50, 60 years old, where I can't walk anymore and someone's got to take me around and hold my hand.
01:05:45Because there are guys like that, you know, especially like older boxers.
01:06:19It's also, you can do what you do for a long time.
01:06:23I mean, you can play drums for a long time.
01:06:26When you're fighting, your peak is such a small window of life, and it's just there's so much that you have to pour into it, and then eventually you have to realize that that window's closed.
01:06:50He looks like he's never been better, but the window is closed.
01:06:54You know, there's these young guys coming up, and they don't have the injuries that you have, they don't have the problems that you have, they don't have the wear and tear.
01:07:03And they're going to get to you before you get to them.
01:07:06And maybe they wouldn't have gotten to you five years ago or six years ago, but again now, and it's just not there anymore.
01:07:14And it's hard for guys to accept because their entire identity is based on this one thing that's very fleeting.
01:07:21So that would be the most difficult thing in the world.
01:07:25But the glory that they experience is above and beyond anything we're ever going to know.
01:07:31I heard someone talking about it, and they were saying, imagine being a cage fighter, and it's all you've prepared for for the last 20 years to be locked in a cage in your underwear to scrap with someone and have the most grueling fight camps, and then we're just going to take you out of it, and you can't do that anymore.
01:12:37And it's also Ian has this insane confidence.
01:12:40He has this insane belief that he's special, that, you know, this is his destiny.
01:12:45And that, you know, I mean, it looks like that at every weigh in, it looks like that at every stare down, it looks like that at every press conference.
01:13:02I saw an interview where he was, he actually said he believes in the balance with his family, with every part of his life, where most fighters will only focus on fighting during the eight to 10 weeks they're fighting or they're training.
01:13:21And he's like, no, I actually need everything to be in order to make this one thing go great.
01:13:26So I believe in more balance than imbalance.
01:13:30I think it depends entirely on the person and also depends entirely on what does your family look like?
01:13:38You know, what is the relationship with your wife and your children like?
01:13:56Oh my God, when she's fighting, when she's squabbling with him right before he goes out to fucking fight, I was like, ah, I was like, oh, I could.0.98
01:14:53Well, I think that's why some guys, they'd rather take that isolated approach.
01:14:58They just would rather just do the Spartan thing and just be alone in camp and sleep on a cot and wake up in the morning and run and just live this, like, very hard six to eight week life.
01:16:52Yeah, it's got to be personal because everybody's got a different.
01:16:55Everyone has a different personality, different mindset, different triggers, different things that fuck with them, different things that calm them down, you know?
01:17:04Also, I have all these weird, whatever, where I'm jump roping, running, practicing for hours before I go on stage.
01:17:10And then there's the times where everything, I get thrown a curveball and I get to the venue five minutes before and I can go up and do it like no problem because I think I've done all this other preparation.
01:17:40Well, fighters have that too because the fighters that get like really out of shape in between fights, they're the ones that really struggle.0.74
01:18:43You know, and then he's got the, and then there's also this part of the discipline of the weight cut is like this locking in and focusing where you're measuring all your food.
01:18:53And like there's a certain like shift in the mindset that takes place when he goes from being fat to ripped.
01:20:13And seeing him do that in the White House, on the lawn of the White House and win the world title when everybody thought he was like a 6 1 underdog.
01:21:19It was, that was, and then to have him go from that to become the world champion just a year and a half, two years later, whatever it was, it was amazing.
01:23:15A lot of people like that because it's kind of, you know, it forces action.
01:23:20But I think the space provides more of a canvas, you know, no pun intended, for them to paint their masterpiece.
01:23:29You got to be able to have angles to get out.
01:23:32And if you're just constrained by an object, which is a fence, when maybe if that object wasn't there, you could move to the side, move in, and counter.
01:23:41You know, like think like when Sugar Sean O'Malley knocked out Al Jermaine Sterling, and Al Jermaine is.
01:25:13I mean, I think Sean could beat anybody, but it's just he's got to figure out whatever it is that he needs to figure out to solve that puzzle that is that little.1.00
01:25:23Georgian Tasmanian devil that never gets tired.
01:25:27Yeah, just he's like the energizer rabbit, like just keeps going.
01:25:31Dude, have you ever seen what Marab's face looks like when they did like an X ray of his face, an MRI?
01:27:16Yeah, well, it was definitely a strength of schedule, it was tough because, you know, you're going through these camps, you have these brutal weight cuts.
01:27:27But then there's also Pyotr Jan, who had fought Mirab before and lost to him and realized what was necessary to beat the guy and fought a perfect fight.
01:31:12Once in a while, I'll get out if it's like, you know, someone's a show or something that, you know, me and the wife want to do or me and the kids.
01:31:21But other than that, studio home, studio home, train.
01:31:55I think, like, for what I do, you know, besides like playing in Blink or touring when I'm home, I'll get a call and they'll say, hey, can we come by the studio?
01:32:14I just, there's so much that happens right there for me.
01:32:19I think there'll come a time where I don't need to be there, but right now I feel like I'm in demand and I'm playing on a bunch of stuff and I'm recording a bunch of stuff.
01:33:12I feel like moving around in southern California keeps things fresh, like Going to the desert for a week or a few days, going to Santa Barbara, and then during the week, staying in Calabasas, or like Los Angeles and you know, working out of there.
01:33:28Montecito is gorgeous, and I also feel like the desert, like Coachella out there, is uh, you feel like you're in a different world, you feel much further away from LA and all the chaos than you are, yeah.
01:35:08I don't own a business out there, but I bet for everyone that's struggling when it's 115, 120 and no one's coming out of the house, I feel like they're almost like Coachella saves them.
01:36:43So, a lot of people build these K5s and they do resto mods, but they're either overbuilt and they don't drive great, or it's either overbuilt or it doesn't run great, or they do too much.
01:43:00Which would be great because I feel like for your mind, your mind will be so jazzed up after you do a bunch of laps on a racetrack that you'll come in, you'll be like, ah!
01:44:20I feel like if you're running all the time or training all the time, you're bound to have some type of injury too.0.99
01:44:25The back thing scares me though when people get surgery because there's a lot of options other than surgery that are probably going to be better for most people.
01:44:33Yeah, depending upon the situation, of course.
01:44:35I broke my back in four places in my accident.
01:44:56So I have friends that have had back surgery and they have gotten better because of the back surgery.
01:45:03But I also have a lot of friends that got back surgery and they never were the same again.
01:45:07And they had to get another back surgery, and then another one, and they have nerve damage, and their arms go numb, and then they have atrophy in their limbs.
01:46:02And what they do is they take your blood, they pull it out of your body, they spin it in a centrifuge and do some sort of process to it, and then they re inject it into you the next day.
01:46:13Into the discs, and it's an insanely potent anti inflammatory agent.
01:46:17And it was the first thing that I did that ever fixed my bulging discs, where I had bulging discs in my neck to the point where I was getting numbness in my fingers.
01:47:27Like stem cells, especially if you go to a place that really is on top of everything and that they're using state of the art stem cell technology.
01:47:37Like there's a lot of places you have to go out of the country, like CPI down in Mexico.
01:48:32But for you, being, you know, either when you're out here, if you ever want to get treated, if there's something wrong, if you have an injury, you could definitely go to here to Ways to Well.
01:48:53I know the guys who run it, and that's another very similar, state of the art place, but they aren't restricted with the.
01:49:02Type of there's different restrictions in America in terms of what you can and can't do down there, it's the wild west, you can kind of do anything.
01:49:10And so, I know a lot of people that have had pretty phenomenal results going there.
01:49:14Yeah, I'm wondering, I have this gene, uh, factor five, where I clot really easy.
01:50:14Unfortunately, because I've read a bunch about them.
01:50:17I went on this whole journey because when I found out about it, and they said we had to put this in you or you could have died because you had huge clots, but you can't remove it.
01:50:29And they have a life expectancy of about 20 years.
01:50:33And then sometimes the filter breaks inside of you or could cause whatever.
01:50:38But yeah, just have PMA, positive mental attitude.
01:52:23I just have to really be cautious about getting poked.
01:52:28Yeah, I had an incident that happened years ago where someone was just trying to find my vein and she had poked me tons of times, this nurse, and I had 30 clots just in one of my arms.0.99
01:53:04My doctor's pretty cool and he doesn't over worry about too much or anything.
01:53:09He said, I'd rather you not have a blood thinner in your system if you're playing drums and you cut yourself open or if you're boxing or light sparring.
01:54:42The natural dietary nitrates in beets convert into nitric oxide in your body, which relaxes and widens your blood vessels to improve blood flow.
01:55:04It's kind of amazing how many different natural remedies there are that really work.
01:55:09And we were all sort of brainwashed when we were younger to think that the only thing that's Good for you are drugs from the pharmaceutical company.
01:55:18That if you have anything wrong with you, the medicine is all medicine that's petroleum based pharmaceutical drug medicine, and that's what's good for you.1.00
01:55:27All that other herbal stuff is all for retards, it's all for nonsense and hippies and people that don't read books.1.00
01:55:35Well, because they brainwash us, right?1.00
01:55:37Yeah, I don't take any medicine, I don't take Advil, Tylenol, good for you, anything.
01:55:43That stuff, the thing about Tylenol or Advil, I should say, for People that take non steroidal anti inflammatories like ibuprofen.
01:55:54Isn't Tylenol super bad for you now that they came up with?
01:55:57Tylenol, well, there was a really sad story that I read during the pandemic of this lady who had COVID and she was in so much pain that she kept pounding Tylenol and she died from liver toxicity.
01:56:10Because Tylenol, which has acetaminophen in it, kills people every year.
01:56:17I know we've looked this up before, but I don't remember the number.
01:56:19But it's not a small number of people die from acetaminophen poisoning from things like Tylenol every year.
01:59:05And he gave me some number and he's like, What are you gonna do?
01:59:07I said, I'm gonna try to keep up, and I just ran my ass off like I just like tried to keep up with Cam, and then uh, and then we just stayed friends after that.
01:59:49I'm in pain all the time, and I want to keep running.
01:59:52And so then I sent him some information that Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, put out about the problem with ibuprofen, the problem with taking large doses of it on a regular basis, and what it does to your gut biome.
02:00:11The pain that he was experiencing went away after he stopped taking 800 milligrams of ibuprofen a day.
02:00:19And he realized that the pain that he was experiencing was accentuated by the fact that he was causing inflammation in his body by taking anti inflammatories that were destroying his gut biome.
02:01:54I'm going to shoot that one, but I love my dog.
02:01:57It's a little contradicting to me, you know, but I didn't even know any of these things at a young age.
02:02:04I remember food would be put in front of me and there would be ham, whatever, and I would just naturally put the ham in my pocket and eat like the mac and cheese or whatever else, the spinach.
02:05:41And that's one of the cool things about having a bunch of different diets out there a bunch of different options for people to try and find whatever works for you.
02:09:14I think that's a great attitude to have that more people should adopt with everything, with political ideologies, religion, whatever it is.0.99
02:09:42I also think that a lot of times it's not coming from a healthy place to begin with.1.00
02:09:46I think a lot of people find a thing that they can use as an excuse to be an asshole, and whether that thing is their political beliefs or their religion or whatever their social ideology, whatever it is, they find a thing that they can call you out because you fuck you.1.00
02:10:08And it's just what's really going on is they're just looking for a reason to be an asshole.1.00
02:10:14And they're not a balanced person or a happy, healthy person.0.99
02:10:18It's one thing if someone is confronting you personally and yelling at you and you're yelling back at them and you're in an argument.0.96
02:10:26But if you're starting that, initiating that because someone disagrees with you or doesn't see things the way they're doing, first of all, you're a shitty communicator.0.98
02:10:36And two, you're probably a shitty person because that's why you're behaving the way you're behaving.0.97
02:10:40And you're using this point, whatever it is, whether it's being a vegan or being a Republican or being a Democrat or being an Israeli.1.00
02:10:47A Muslim or being a Christian or whatever the fuck it is that you've decided is more important than being civil and kind and courteous, what you really are is just a shitty version of a person.0.99
02:11:00Whether you realize it or not, you probably don't even think you're justified and that's why you're doing it.1.00
02:11:05And you probably think I'm doing the right thing.
02:11:06And everyone's like, I love it that you have no chill.
02:11:12This guy's a cunt and he's a miserable and sufferable person to be around, regardless of what his belief system is versus the other person's belief system.1.00
02:11:55What they're looking for is some reason why they're right and some reason to be an asshole to other people that don't think the same way they think.0.98
02:12:03And they think that they're justified by it.0.98
02:12:07It's also a real problem with social media because those people, their voices get amplified and people pile in, yeah, you go boy or you go girl.
02:12:15I feel like anyone who can look at I mean, social media, it's corny to begin with, right?0.81
02:12:21But you're going to go on Instagram and then you're going to say something extreme or fucked up to someone.0.94
02:12:25It's like, You're so lame that you actually took the time to think about writing something bad, then wrote it, then press send.1.00
02:13:36When someone's like, has like a really objective, charitable take on someone, like, hey man, maybe he thinks this way, and, you know, maybe the right way to approach it is to approach someone civilly and we can find common ground.
02:13:51Like, you read someone saying something like that and you go, oh, I want to be more like that guy.
02:13:55Like, that guy, like, I like the way that guy thinks.
02:14:20You've got a little cunt farm behind you, and you're all attacking all these other people, and you think somehow or another you're justified because there's some other flawed people that agree with you.0.99
02:14:30That you're allowed to be shitty to people because they don't think the way you think, or because they only eat plants, or because they worship this God.0.99
02:14:39I feel like David Goggins has it figured out how he, like, how he just listens to all his haters or whatever, and he like runs or exercises, like that's the, that's the like.
02:14:49Use it as a tool, you know yeah, I think you're better off not even listen to the haters.0.88
02:15:49The people who love your music or whatever.
02:15:51No, How many people have ruined other people's opinions of them because of doing something like that or going on some lame fucking rant against someone because of the way they voted or the way they view this or the way they, you know, whatever it is?0.62
02:16:10Luckily, like the hate, the hate, like I get the weirdest hate.
02:16:15It's not even really hate, but it's just something like.
02:16:17They know they're like throwing darts from across the room at me.
02:16:20Is like, oh, bro, he's like a Kardashian now, or he married a Kardashian.1.00
02:16:25I'm like, motherfucker, that's the most punk thing I could do is marry a Kardashian and just say, fuck you.1.00
02:16:31It's about like the, like, that even shows you I clearly don't give a fuck.1.00
02:17:51But yeah, that's one that's always funny to me.
02:17:54Well, there's the problem with whenever there's anything that's happening publicly, you're living your life publicly, there's always going to be hate.
02:21:27I've always said this that if I was a 15 year old kid and somebody gave me a Twitter account and I could get a hold of someone like me and talk shit to them, I 100% would.1.00
02:22:02You know, skateboarding, which I like changed my life and raised me.
02:22:07Skateboarding is also, they're very strict, you know, about who can call themselves a skater or, you know, there's just all these things.0.76
02:22:16There's like, when all these things should just be celebrated, like skateboarding is fucking cool.
02:22:22It's like some of the coolest people in the world, you know, skateboard and, And skateboarding's taught most of the world how to dress properly.
02:22:31And serious, I mean, a lot of rappers basically nowadays just dress like skateboarders.
02:22:38Skateboarders set it off, they had the best taste from the jump.
02:22:59I mean, I grew up with like huge pants and like t shirts and just vans, you know, skateboarding and beanies, you know, that's like, I don't know, but everything from the time skate videos were released, they were secretly, maybe they didn't know about it, but they were teaching everyone what the coolest music was.
02:23:19And at the time, music was so categorized like you're either a punk rocker, you like country, you like rap, you like that.
02:25:57Whatever you find while you're skateboarding down the street, you know, pretty cool.
02:26:02It is interesting that it has a style of clothing and dress associated with it, yeah, yeah, and it that it kind of mirrors like punk rock aesthetics, yeah.
02:26:16And both the genres are very protective, you know, yeah, weird.
02:26:22It's cool, it is cool, but maybe it should be protected, maybe that's why it's still so cool, you know.
02:26:29Well, for them, for the people that are protecting it, it means something to them.
02:26:33It's probably their haven from the standard society, the pressures of fitting in and conforming that they don't want.
02:26:42And so, this thing is like a church to them.
02:26:47I mean, when I was 13, I felt like an outcast.
02:26:51And it was skaters against jocks where I grew up.
02:26:53It was like jocks, and you played football, or you were a skateboarder, which Basically, you listen to punk rock music, you listen to faction, you listen to DRI, you listen to whatever, and we looked really different.
