Why 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.000 not because I'm by I pulled her as. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.360 Fuck and might get rid of that. 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.080 I'm not well. The mushrooms do that for me. I'm good. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.480 I'm good with that. Maybe maybe one day. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.320 Or ayahuasca like Aaron Rodgers, you. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:10.800 Want to do ayahuasca, though, I actually do. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.280 I heard that change it. That's like thirty years. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.679 Chelsea Handler do it on her show. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:15.880 How was that? 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.160 It was so interesting? Like she was like crying at 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.160 the end and shit talking. 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:22.959 I have a friend who changed their whole life. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.600 Her sister, and like it just changes everything. I mean, 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.160 mushrooms did that for me too the first time. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.679 I how much would you eat though? Did you eat 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:29.480 a lot? Well? 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.840 I we made it in tea. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:32.800 Oh that's so. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.240 It was good because it was like I could just 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.120 slowly get into it and take more and more, and 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:38.320 I didn't know what to expect. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.040 That's which I love bellies like that. Belly only likes 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.560 it in tea. He's like big shrowd guy, but he 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.560 drinks it. I don't know if I could drink it. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:48.800 There's like no escaping if you drink it. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.480 I feel like you actually can well from what I 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.160 was told. But like if you go to I went 0:10:55.200 --> 0:11:00.280 to Amsterdam and they like, it's so different there because. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.360 It's like it's like, yeah, it's just how it is. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:03.200 It's like a dispensary. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.120 But it's like New York City now different. Have you 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.640 been in New York recently? You just go to the 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.680 liquor store, Like literally the corner store in New York 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.200 City they got shrooms right behind the counter. It's fucking 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.280 in New York City. You could buy a blunt an 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.559 eighth and some mushrooms all at the Bodaga. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.600 Now, well we'll be there. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.560 Why it's the wild wild water right now, you'll see 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.600 just anywhere where they got like a smoke shop, just 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.320 walk in. They right behind the counter, it's on display. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.080 That's good, you got there. Yeah. And Amsterdam, they said 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.320 that I love it because they like actually educate you 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.640 and like they'll give you like a slip and like 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.320 tell you exactly how to do it. But they were saying, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.440 if you start to feel too high or you're like 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.800 not feeling good, just drink juice. As soon as you 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.480 eat something with like a high amount of sugar in it, 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.600 it will start bringing down your high. 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.320 I'd rather eat too much shrooms than eat too much weed, 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.160 because eating too much wheat is terrible. It's the worst 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.400 shit ever you've ever had, like a like a bad 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:04.080 edible e space. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.320 It's the worst I've never had that, but I've I've 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:12.760 literally I can't even do CBD, that's how bad it is. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.880 Well, I don't think CBD is a thing. I think 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.520 it's like, you know, one of those things where like 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.520 mentally you think it's supposed to help you out, but 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.560 it's like it's a placebo effect. It's like you got 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.160 a CBD massage. My wife got a CBD massage in 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.600 Palm Springs this weekend. So what do you think that is? 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.480 What the fuck are they gonna do? They're gonna rub 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.200 CBD on you. Here's a blunt smoking. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.240 I mean, yeah, it's not good for me. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.319 So you get paranoid. 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.920 No, I had like a full on episode like it 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:40.400 was bad. 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.400 So you're out on the four twenty on THHC. It's 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.160 not for you. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.040 No, that's good. None of that. I'll celebrate with mushrooms. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.680 Shrooms are amazing. You have a lot of tattoos, Yeah, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.360 I do. Can we explain a few of the more 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.560 notable ones that you would feel like, you know, because 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.920 you got you got a lot, and they're very like 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.720 there's mother father, There looks to be a church. There 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.800 is that a hookah? Or is that a genie lamp? 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.360 No, it's actually an old perfume. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:07.480 Okay, it's a perfume bottle. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:08.360 Yeah, but I like that. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.319 People are like a jellyfish. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.040 A jellyfish is my favorite animal. This is there's a 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.800 type of jellyfish. I think it's called the eternal jellyfish. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.840 Why do you love them so much? 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.240 Because it's the only animal. I mean, they're just cool, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.120 like they don't have brains and they're living, like they're 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.000 literally just like floating around, but they're alive and like 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:30.600 they're not really conscious, Like it's I just saw crazy thought. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.800 But this eternal jellyfish, it can live forever. It's the 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.520 only animal that lives forever. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:37.160 Oh shit. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.720 So once it's like it, I think it's something like 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.720 if if it gets like it feels a threat or 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.559 something happening, it just starts with the life cycle all 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.240 the way over and goes back to being a pull. 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.840 Up and then we'll start that's wild. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.120 Isn't that crazy? 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.160 Have you ever been to Rocky Point? 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:53.679 No? 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.040 I was in Rocky Point last summer and I was 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.440 surrounded by jellyfish, and I cry like a bitch.
