Okay, 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: go ahead. I mean, this is a it's it's amazing. 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: It's my son Jared Jake here just went and he's like, Dad, Dad, 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: can I smoke it on the street? And I said, dude, 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: far as I know, I actually printed out the memo 35 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: to the police. To law enforcement, it says you cannot approach, harass, 36 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: detain anything. If someone smoking can abus on the ship, 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: you can smoke right on. So the basic rules are 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: anyone over twenty one is allowed to possess up to 39 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: three ounces three ounces of dried flower, just banging concentrated cannabis, 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: and they go on to stay with that amount of flower. 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: Users could roll between a hundred and two hundred and 42 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: fifty joints, depending on how fat one packs the papers. 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: You know, you know, that's and that's legal. The best part, 44 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: this is the best part, and it's it's it's crazy 45 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: that it's the only state so far that allows consumption 46 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: anywhere tobacco is permitted, with the exception of schools, workplaces, 47 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: and cars. While users can still light up in their homes, 48 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: they can also smoke weed on their stoops balconies and 49 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: if you they have a lot of homeowners association type 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: deals there, you gotta get approval from them. So if 51 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: you live in one of those places, it's a little 52 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: more regulated because of their own rules. But as uh, 53 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: it's not allowed in the city parks. But you can 54 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: get high. And this is gonna be great because I've 55 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: always gone to New York.

And 110 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: it's like one of those unenforceable rules. I see no 111 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: police given tickets to anybody when I was there, and 112 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: there are people just like they didn't know any better, 113 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: They didn't really know.

I got some more cannabis 115 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: news that's borderline going green to piggyback on your story 116 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: in New York because I gotta jump in now while 117 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: you're here jumping. It's just goes hand in hand with 118 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: what you're saying. And I kind of alluded when I said, 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: is that the taxi story where you guys New York 120 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: City is going green? It's all green light? Why is it? 121 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: Because the Taxi Commission is gonna stop testing cabbies for cannabis. 122 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,559 Speaker 1: With cannabis now being legal in New York is Craig 123 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: just mentioned, the city is saying no more to taxi 124 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: drivers and limousine drivers. So if you drive these folks, 125 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be testing. You know how they get 126 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: more progressive than us? Right for that? Going forward, the 127 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: TLC will no longer test for the cannabis and required 128 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: annual drug test, the agency wrote Friday, and a memo 129 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: to license obtained by The Posts. Big mistake for Nando Matteo, 130 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: the founder of spokesman of New York State Foundation of 131 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: Taxi Drivers, told the Posts, it's irresponsible. What how are you, 132 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: as the person that's working for the taxi drivers gonna 133 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: say that. He goes on and says, if they're not 134 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: going to be testing for cannabis, that means drivers will 135 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to smoke cannabis. He said, You also said, 136 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: I don't want my kids in a car with a 137 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: guy that smokes cannabis and is allowed to smoke cannabis regularly. 138 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: Hold on, Craig is not getting tested drink. I have 139 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: to draw the line somewhere now, this agent agency caution drivers, well, 140 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: the use of cannabis is out legal for adults. It 141 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: is still the law that TLC licensed drivers must be 142 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: sober when they operate a vehicles any for anything, right. 143 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: It's also noted that testing for other drugs would remain uncharged. 144 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: So it's just change, thank you so much. McGill University 145 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: study published in March found that recreational cannabis legalization in 146 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: the US would associate with the relative increased risk of 147 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: fatal mortal vehicles collisions of fifteen percent. It's and the 148 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: relative increase that's been of I'm just giving you the news. 149 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: You guys, don't get mad at me. I'm just saying 150 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,119 Speaker 1: that's been debuting it from the universe. You know, it's ridiculous, 151 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: They said, griped one Yellow Testing to the Post about 152 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the new non test policy. We have no way to 153 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: test for cannabis at the scene of an accident. The 154 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: annual drug testing is the one tool that TLC has 155 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: to weed out a problem drivers. They shouldn't abandon it. 156 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: This is a reefer madness quote part of it, because 157 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: it should be. You shouldn't be impaired on any substance 158 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: if you're when you're driving, period, whether you're a taxi 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: driver or not, you should not be impaired on anything. 160 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: And the fact that if I have you ever been 161 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: driven around in a taxi in New York? Yes, okay, 162 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: it could be a near death a near death experience 163 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: right right.

And the reason why I say it's going 392 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: green you because old folks need to hear this, and 393 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: they are hearing an example like Willie Nelson, because when 394 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: you look at the demographics that are at the dispensaries, 395 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: that's the number one demographic, which is the older demographic 396 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: forty five and over folks. For those of you who 397 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: don't know, well, now you know that's who's going into 398 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: dispensaries and spending the most money. And this right here 399 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: after seeing what he said in the Rolling Stone magazine 400 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: I like how I say that the Rolling Stone magazine 401 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: just makes it feel like more people are gonna see it, 402 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: and those who are older read Rolling Stone magazine anyways, 403 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, it's not the younger demographic that's sitting 404 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: there popping out the Rolling Stone, so it's gonna make 405 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: that older demographic go more. I'm gonna read you some 406 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: quotes from really Willie Nelson that he says. And Willie 407 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: Nelson has never been shy about the love for cannabis, 408 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: but in this interview with Rolling Stone for the magazine 409 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: and they and their Weed issue, the legendary singer songwriter 410 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: shared how the cannabis actually saved his life. Nelson said 411 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: cannabis helped him calm down and is the reason he's 412 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: alive today. Now, before I read this Blue, I want 413 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: you to start thinking of the question I'm gonna ask 414 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: you at the end of this, which is has anything 415 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: saved your life or any person or anything to that effect? 416 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: As Willie goes and says, I wouldn't be alive it 417 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: saved my life. Really, I wouldn't have lived if I'd 418 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: have kept drinking and smoking like I was when I 419 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: was thirty and forty years old. I think that we'd 420 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: kept me from wanting to kill people, and probably kept 421 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people from wanting to kill me too. 422 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: Out there drunk, running around, running amuck, Willie Nelson said, 423 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: And he also continues to say cannabis helped him quit 424 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: smoking cigarettes and drinking excessively. He goes on to say, 425 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab some more quotes from him. I haven't 426 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: smoked a cigarette since I haven't drank that much either, 427 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: because one will make me want the other. I smoke cigarettes. 428 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: I want to drink o whiskey. Drink o whiskey. Who 429 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: want a cigarettes? That's me. I can't speak for nobody else, 430 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: Nelson told Rolling Stone. And you know what that right, 431 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: there is great anecdotal evidence of somebody who goes, I 432 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: use this to help control my other urges. Now, it 433 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: could be anything that helps people with whatever it is. 434 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: You know, it could be the gym that helps save 435 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: your life because I was getting so fucking obese and 436 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: overweight and this and that. There's a lot of advices. 437 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it has to be exactly cannabis. I'm 438 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: just saying there's certain things that help people save their lives. 439 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: And for Willie Nelson to identify this. We've always heard 440 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: of him smoking and this and that, but I had 441 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: never heard this story that he claims it saved his life. Because, 442 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: let's just face it, guys like this that are rock stars, 443 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: country stars, they're living that life of drinking whiskey any 444 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: day every a top shelf and smoking cigarettes like it's 445 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: going out of style. I mean, we've seen the movies, 446 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: We've seen the documentaries done in our stories, you know 447 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And it's one of the vegas. In 448 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, you're gonna see me do it. Yeah, 449 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a whiskey in your hand, You're gonna 450 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: have your vape cap, nicotine cigarettes, and you'll be on 451 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: real cigarettes doing getting it. But thank God that you 452 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: have it. So as you're thinking, you have on the 453 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: top of your head because I have something that definitely 454 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: did save my life. What I want to throw it 455 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 1: to you first? You have something because as Willie Nelson 456 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: said this, I thought it was prolific and so intrigued 457 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: with the story, I read all of it and UH 458 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: happy to hear that. Willie Nelson gives the tribute to 459 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: cannabis as it saved his life. Because let's just face it, folks, 460 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: there's only one of the person that I specifically no 461 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: down this realm, which is sober Junkie. He's been on 462 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: our show good front of the show. Artists sing this 463 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: and that he was on the Heroin. I mean, actually 464 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: that's the only one that I know personally. I've heard stories, 465 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: but I personal on the show. Yeah, we've had people 466 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: on the show, but they may that close where I 467 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: could be. And he uses it religiously now for he 468 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: said and preaches it came here on four twenty with 469 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: his six year anniversary, like that ship stuck in my head, Joe. 470 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: You know today is when my six year anniversary blah 471 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: blah blah. Like it touched me. His story touches me 472 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: and affects me in a way of people need to 473 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: know what this plant does for folks, right, so you know, 474 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: and it doesn't need to be this plant and saved 475 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: your life, Blue, But is there just anything randomly like 476 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, but Marry and your wife did that 477 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: save I don't know the kids, I don't I know 478 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: exactly what it was. So for me, I was infatuated 479 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: with the street life. You know, and so you know, 480 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: I'd never really like to get high on things because 481 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: in my neighborhood where I grew up, you know, all 482 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: the people I was just supposed to look up to 483 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: were on heroin or meth and so I you know, 484 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: quickly learned that, like when they were on their weakest game, 485 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: that I could poke the bear because you know, the 486 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: biggest bears in the neighborhood were always on drugs. And 487 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: so you know, for me, when I seen them, you know, 488 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: as weak as they were, and I've seen him because 489 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: I seen him in their vulnerable state, um, I knew 490 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: that I can you know, mess with them. But ultimately, 491 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: so the drug thing wasn't my big thing. But I 492 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: did want to be the hardest, baddest person in the street, 493 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: you know. And and I went through a phase in 494 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: my life where you know, I thought I was invincible, 495 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: and um, you know, i'd say twelve fourteen and my 496 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: friends were brutally murdered. And at that moment in my life, 497 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, I was I was having you know, uh, 498 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,239 Speaker 1: my first two boys, you know, and then and then 499 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: shortly after that, I was getting married with my my wife, 500 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: and I you know, I kind of figured out that 501 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: you know that it was either like, well, am I 502 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna go keep going hard in the streets or am 503 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: I gonna you know, take care of this family? And um, truthfully, 504 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: I I know that i'd either be dead or in prison. Um. 505 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: And so at that age in my mind, it didn't 506 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: really click to me that, you know. I just thought 507 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: I was invincible and I really didn't care. But um, 508 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, super active, you know what I mean. And 509 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: I was quick too, and I was good at it, 510 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, so I didn't I wasn't afraid to to 511 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: get myself in and out of jams or if you would. 512 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: So I think that helped save my life. And and 513 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: I've I've said that many times to two people, and 514 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: I think that you know, for me, I was infatuated 515 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: with street life, you know. And I'll just leave it 516 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: at that. But I mean, ultimately, um, you know, I 517 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: really respected I thought forever forever that I would be 518 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: uh involved in the streets and and somewhere another that 519 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: you're amazed I'm a thug dha yeah yeah, yeah, like 520 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, and love talking about and hipop has. It's 521 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: funny though, because I just had the conversation with somebody else, 522 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, I don't really talk 523 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: about it too much because a lot of people judge you. 524 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: So they see you as who you are, and when 525 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: they see you now, they're like, oh, this guy's you know, 526 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: professional square cool. I love it, you know, that's what 527 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: I want them to see. One of my friends called 528 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: me a square bear on Friday night. I wanted to 529 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 1: punch him in his fucking mouth, just to show him 530 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: what a square bear. I went, but I got us dunken. 531 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: He's an idiotic deal, you know what it's. It's a 532 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: But the funny thing is I'm a square bear too, 533 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, I go. You know, but today, though, you 534 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean, we are and so back then though, 535 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: as we were kids, you know, we weren't. And and 536 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: that transition for me was very difficult because you know, 537 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was like thirty years old. 538 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: I still rolling around thirty. I had a bald head 539 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: and baggy clothes, you know what I mean, all of it. 540 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, and and yeah and so but but 541 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: but but at that time I was still transitioning. I 542 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: knew I was transitioning, but it's a very hard thing 543 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: to let go of because your mind, the way you talk, 544 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: the people you hang out with, the who they know 545 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: you as, has to you know, you have to convert 546 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: that and by converting that over into you know, someone 547 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: that wears a suit, or that that dresses in a 548 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, a certain way, or parts his hair or 549 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: has hair. You know, when you start to allow people 550 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: to see you in a different form, it's a humiliating 551 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: thing because in their mind, that's all they knew of you, 552 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: that's all they know of you, that's who they see 553 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: of you, that's what you are. And then all of 554 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're like, well, I'm gonna wear tight clothes, 555 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear more presentable clothes. I'm gonna change the 556 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: way I talk. I'm gonna change the way my tongue 557 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: says certain words and how I treat certain people. And 558 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: it's a very difficult, addicting situation, and a lot of 559 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: people don't understand how addicting it is. But you get 560 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: high from from you know, fear, so you give that, uh, 561 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: you say, like using the comparison Willie Nelson says cannabis 562 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: saved his life. Would you is it fair to use 563 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: the analogy that's getting married in the family saved your 564 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: life absolutely absolutely, you know. I mean it's because because 565 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: I chose, I made a choice. You know, it was 566 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: either I was gonna was that crossing path right there, 567 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, the one thing on the show that the show. 568 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: I still want to go, you know, I still want 569 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: to go see what's going on. I still want to 570 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: dabble over here. I want to dabble over there, you know. 571 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, so there's a lot going on still, but 572 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: the mindset has changed. But that was sercise. That was 573 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: a addiction that I had. That was to the street life. 574 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: I was very much addicted to it. And I feel 575 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: like a lot of people that understand it will understand it. 576 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: People that don't won't. You know what, if you have 577 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: a story out there, we want to hear from you. 578 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: What has changed your life, what has saved your life? 579 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: Is the number eight hundred four twenty nineteen eighty.
