Speaker 1: putting out awesome gear made right here in the USA. UM,

45
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I am extremely excited that Peter Gidrion, who was seen

46
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: in the Chris Bell documentary A Leaf of Faith about

47
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: creat Um. I mistakenly said Mark Bell a few episodes ago.

48
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: I think Mark is his brother who's featured in pretty

49
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: much all his documentaries. But Chris Bell is a documentary filmmaker. Um,

50
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: before we get to him. Biggest news is the suicide bomber,

51
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: which is being covered at the news rep dot com. Yeah,

52
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: and mon Beach yesterday it was uh, you know, ostensibly

53
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: isis although it's you know, these groups all kind of

54
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: like run together at a certain point, but probably it

55
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: was isis Um and they hit a restaurant in mon

56
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: bees and in northern Syria the Kurdish held areas, and

57
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: it uh, it killed one Green Beret. Um. There were

58
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: three other American fatalities. UM. My understanding was one was

59
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: an interpreter. One was an intel guy and the other

60
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: with civil affairs. And then there were also additionally two

61
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: guys who were wounded UM and both of them were

62
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Green Berets as I was told to the two w

63
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I A s. So that was pretty horrific. UM. You know,

64
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: we lost four people yesterday. As some of you probably saw,

65
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: footage emerged of this UM very interesting helicopter that flew

66
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: in and evac the casualties. UM. Appears it was probably

67
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: one of the clandestine helicopters that UM Jaysack has at

68
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: their disposal. UM. So some information came out about that also,

69
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: but we're just we're still reporting on that and covering that. UM.

70
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: I think that you know, from my perspective, the timing

71
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: is not an accident. ISIS wants us there. They want

72
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: to keep us there. You know, Trump is trying to

73
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: withdraw it appears from Syria even though we're seesawing on that.

74
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: But it does seem that he wants to pull us

75
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: out of there. Uh. These groups like ISIS and al

76
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Qaeda there there stated strategy in many cases is to

77
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: bait us into attacking them. That's why a lot of

78
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: Taliban elements in Afghanistan rebranded themselves as isis Is to

79
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: keep us there because they as long as we're there,

80
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: they can claim some sort of legitimacy by saying we're

81
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: fighting these foreigners, these outsiders trying to colonize our country.

82
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: You know, we're fighting the West, we're fighting imperialism, we're

83
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: fighting the Christian Crusaders or whatever the fuck um bullshit

84
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: stories they want to spend. So it's it's it behooves

85
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: these terrorist organizations to bait America in and keep us there,

86
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: and when we leave, they have less legitimacy because now

87
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: they're just fighting their fellow Muslims, their fellow Arabs, um.

88
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: And that's how I would perceive that attack, that they

89
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: were trying to send a message, no Isis is not dead,

90
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: don't go running away quite yet. Obviously, some really unfortunate

91
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: news and really sad news, um. But what you're saying

92
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: on foreign policy actually is reminding me of something I

93
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: took a screenshot of and I forgot all about it.

94
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you reminded me of kind of the

95
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: infighting going on in the Republican Party over um foreign

96
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: policy right now. In that fighting over everything right now, Well,

97
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: I saw that Rand Paul tweeted, he was like, you

98
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 1: own and Rand Paul was not exactly a Donald Trump

99
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: then when he was running for president, but he was like,

100
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is keeping his campaign promises. We need to

101
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: declare victory in these areas, um, you know, basically that

102
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: type of thing. And then I saw and I think

103
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: you're probably not going to agree with this, But a

104
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: former guest of the podcast, Dan Crenshaw, tweeted at Rand Paul,

105
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: at Rand Paul is giving the president bad advice. There

106
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: are those of there are those of us who have

107
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: sacrificed for our nation who know the importance of this

108
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: terrorist threat and the need to stay vigilant. We go

109
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: there so they don't come here. It's that simple. It's

110
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: really not that simple, though. I mean, these are very

111
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: complicated countries, and we're waiting into cultures and conflicts that

112
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: we don't we're not really stakeholders in, and the local

113
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: population knows that, and we don't necessarily understand the drivers

114
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: for these conflicts. And even if we do, we're certainly

115
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: not prepared to address them. I mean, we're not going

116
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: to stay there and institute some of Marshall plan for Syria.

117
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, like We're gonna rehabilitate that place

118
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: like we did to Berlin after World War Two. Like,

119
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: get fucking serious here. Um, So yeah, I mean I'm

120
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to disagree with Dan. And but I mean

121
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Dan also did not really elaborate too much there. I mean,

122
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: that's that's a very blanch statement. I was going to

123
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: add to this too. So that was a post on

124
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Twitter because I realized I remembered there was more to it.

125
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: This was. I mean, it's not much more, but this

126
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: was the caption he wrote for that, you know, screenshott

127
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: post on Instagram which is at Dan Cranshaw t X.

128
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: Thus far, the President has found the right balance for

129
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: our wars, avoid nation building while keeping a special operations

130
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: presence to maintain pressure on a very much alive enemy.

131
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: Please do not veer from this course, Mr President. Our

132
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: troops sacrifices must not be in vain. Well, I'm not

133
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: sure it's so much Donald Trump's position. I think he

134
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: inherited these wars. I don't think he feels any obligation

135
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: to sustain them because you know it's Donald Trump. You know,

136
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: he was the outsider. He ran on that. Um, he

137
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: never made these he was not a politician previously to this,

138
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: so he wasn't making these decisions like let's invade this

139
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: country to that country. So I don't think he feels

140
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: um morally or ideologically tethered to these wars in the

141
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: same way. Um that maybe somebody like you know, a

142
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: George Bush or a Bill Clinton might um. But that said,

143
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: I think Trump inherited these wars, and he is to

144
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: some extent a victim of the institution he works for.

145
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: He's a president, he's not a dictator, and I think

146
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: he would pull us out if he could. But he's

147
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: finding out what a quagmire that is. Yeah. And also

148
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: when I read that caption, it's one of those strange

149
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: things because Dan Crenshaw is a guy who's fought in

150
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: these wars. Dan Crenshaw is a guy who nearly made

151
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice. He lost his eye. And you know,

152
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: it does make wonder from that perspective, is it, you know,

153
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: was the idea of was it's all done in vain?

154
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: That that hits home? Well, I mean that's the sunk

155
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: cost fallacy, the idea that we have already poured so

156
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: much into it, so we need to keep pouring more

157
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: and more into it. I mean, it's like Vietnam, you know,

158
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: just keep sending more and more troops and in the

159
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: end it's a strategic defeat. Anyway, do how many American

160
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: lives do we keep throwing away on a hopeless endeavor?

161
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: At some point you have to make the mature decision.

162
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: Even though we served in this conflict, um, Dan and

163
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: I both did. We both have you know, our hearts,

164
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: our hearts in it. We we know our blood, sweat

165
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: and tears invested in it. Um. But how many generations

166
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: of future Americans do we condemned to the same fate

167
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: simply because we we have trouble letting go? You know?

168
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: You know It's kind of interesting to me is that

169
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: Dan Cranshaw's position, at least from that tweet and Instagram post,

170
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: is actually I think almost the opposite of a guy

171
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: like Mark Boyott, who we had on who's like, we

172
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: need to nation Bill that I feel like that was

173
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: a position we need to stay there for several generations. Um.

174
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: But in the same way, we've had a presence and

175
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: in other places, and Dan Crenshaw is saying we need

176
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: to be there, but we don't need the nation, right,

177
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: which means the problem goes on forever because these insurgencies

178
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: will go on forever until the local issues are resolved.

179
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: Issues of corruption, poverty, all all of these things that

180
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: involved the nation state has to resolve or at least

181
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: attempt to address for people. So if you're not going

182
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: to resolve those issues, that just means the insurgency goes

183
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: on indefinitely. So my question for someone like Dan Crenshaw

184
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: would be, what is America's national interests in each of

185
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: these countries where we have troops deployed, and what is that?

186
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: What is your strategy, what is your plan, and what

187
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: is the end game that you're hoping to accomplish? Here um,

188
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: and by the way, here us this on the podcast

189
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: with us. You know, it's been a while since I

190
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: heard it before making that best of, But while I

191
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: was making the Best of, uh, you know, he made

192
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the same exact argument with you. And when you said,

193
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: like how long do we stay? There? Are we there forever?

194
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: And I remember Dan's responsors like, yeah, we've got a

195
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: presence in Germany, We've had a presence in Japan. Yeah

196
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: it's a little it's a little different, though, is that

197
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: I would agree where you have stable first world nations

198
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: with experiences in governance and democracy and freedom and all

199
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: that good stuff, all that jazz and and and well

200
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: developed countries like Korea, Japan and Germany. And we have

201
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: formed an international partnership or an alliance to work with

202
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: one another. Okay, that's one thing, But occupying by force

203
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: foreign countries in the Middle East and with this sort

204
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: of haphazard strategy like maybe we'll stay there for five

205
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: hundred years and they'll turn into a Jeffersonian democracy, Like

206
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: that's not a strategy, Like we need We owe it

207
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: to ourselves in our country and we owe it to

208
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: our troops to offer something better than that. Yeah, well,

209
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: I see that we've connected actually with Peter's wife, Kelly

210
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: on on Skype. I think it'll just be Peter on

211
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: with us, but although they're both the co founder of

212
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: this organization, both Air Force vets, so let's get right

213
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: into it. On with us is Peter Gidrey, former Security Forces,

214
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: Air Force airman and co founder of Forgotten Not Gone,

215
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: which is a veteran for purpose organization out of Las Vegas.

216
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: Their mission is to stomp out veterans suicide and find

217
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: alternative therapy for veterans. UH The other co founder of

218
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Forgotten Not Gone is Peter's wife, Kelly, also former Air Force.

219
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: We just got to speak to for a couple of

220
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: minutes before bringing on Peter. Um. The main thing I

221
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: really want to get into today is creat him because

222
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: the way that I became familiar with you was from

223
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: the documentary A Leaf of Faith, that Chris Bell documentary. Um.

224
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: But before we do, I would love to just get

225
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: into your background in the Air Force and where it

226
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: all began. Yeah, went in the Air Force. It was

227
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: just a childhood dream. Both of my grandfather served and

228
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: a few of my uncles served in the military, and

229
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: so I had the privilege of being a Security Forces

230
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: member and that's where I met my beautiful wife. She

231
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: did Security Forces as well, and that's how initially everything

232
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: just started from our our military service. But during that

233
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: whole process, I had got injured, you know, doing that

234
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: that line of work, and my after care of you know,

235
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: leaving the military, that's when things starting to spiral out

236
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: of control. And that's where you know, brings us to

237
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: today and the story behind that. And could you tell

238
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: us a little bit about your injuries? Well, uh, security Forces.

239
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: So my primary specialty in beginning with an M sixty

240
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: machine gunner, and we worked in the restricted areas guarding

241
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: the Priority A resources, nuclear weapons of the nature, and

242
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: so just the day to day grind carrying a forty

243
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: four pound weapon rucksack, the different things that was detailed.

244
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Your knees break down, your back from that experience, Uh

245
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: my door and dirt car can't even pronounce it. Uh.

246
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: My internal system was all throwing off the hormone levels

247
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: and things like that. But my body just spired out

248
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: of control. And all I ever got, uh during the

249
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: military service, was narcotics to be able to deal with

250
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: the disabilities. I didn't get you know, physical therapy, rehab,

251
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: things of that nature. And so I started having side

252
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: effects from the actual medicine as well, start throwing up

253
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: blood and literally I just started getting sicker and sicker

254
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: for a period of time until you know, finding crowdile

255
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: and how do you get hooked up with Chris Bell

256
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: when he started this documentary. One of our actually our

257
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: neighbors who has urban Ice owns that company, Mr Kelly Dunn.

258
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, he had saw our nonprofit in his same

259
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: ability where we were running our nonprofit out in nor

260
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: Fellows days and he just always saw us riding their bikes.

261
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: And one day he got locked out of his place

262
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: and he ended up knocking on our door, and uh,

263
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, I end up telling him he saw the products,

264
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: and end up telling him I was taking that, and

265
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: he told me he was the owner, and it was

266
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: just it was just a blessing to be able to

267
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: meet him. But just the way we met him was just, uh,

268
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: it was weird. Just again he got locked out of

269
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: his house. But from from that period of time, I

270
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: was able to meet the owner of organic Ice and

271
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: I was already taking his product a year prior to that.

272
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: And so since that point he started donating to our

273
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: our local veterans. Uh, the Urban Ice Organics has been

274
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: given us a lot of free samples for our veterans

275
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: to try. And uh two years later, that's how that

276
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: documentary you know came to be. Was that initial meeting,

277
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I was doing a little bit of research myself because

278
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: I had never heard of creatim until Ian was telling

279
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: me about it. Actually, I was wondering if you could

280
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about what that actually is,

281
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: because it correct me if I'm wrong. It comes from

282
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: a leaf from a plant out of Thailand, right, yes, sir, yes, exactly.

283
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: It's just a natural product. You know, they capitalize it.

284
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: The particular brand that I take is triple tested, and

285
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: that was the difference of some of the other brands

286
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: that you may have. You heard about some of the

287
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: people other people that are you know, buying in bulk

288
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: the same product, you know, they're making out of their basement,

289
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, and had some contaminants of things of that nature.

290
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: But because it's because it's completely unregulated, right, isn't that

291
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: the reason why some people are just making it left

292
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: and right? Yeah, just like you know many other natural selplements,

293
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna order in bulk and repackage them

294
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But the particular one that

295
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: we have, and with the leap of faith that I've

296
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: been taking, is actually in the laboratory, you know, pharmaceutical.

297
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: Then it comes already packaged to the company. So nobody's

298
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: actually making it in their house or you know, at

299
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: a local store. Since you're based out of Vegas. Is

300
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: this like a big thing there right now? Because I

301
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: could tell you in here in New York, I'm starting

302
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: to see a few um gas stations here and there

303
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: that's that's say like we sell create them, but it's

304
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: far and few between. However, when I was in South Florida,

305
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: you cannot go anywhere without seeing Kaba bars, which is

306
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, based out of cretum and create um. And

307
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: I think it's because unfortunately, that is like the place

308
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: that people go to to recover from opioid addiction, and

309
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: you know, they're looking for any alternative they could find.

310
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: Is has it caught on in Vegas? It still knew,

311
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: you know how, I actually admit it was a local company.

312
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: It's called Pure Health mom and pop stores probably square

313
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: foot place and they had to display there. So I

314
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a person to go to a smoke shop or

315
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: anything of that nature. And so I made it through

316
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: a regular you know, supplement store of you know what

317
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: five years ago now when I start taking it. But

318
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: the same people that a MoMA pop team they work

319
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: owns that store. They taught me about juicing prior to that.

320
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: So I learned about the Gershon juicing that helped me

321
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: stop throwing up the blood and help me start bouncing

322
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: back for these disabilities that I had. So I entrusted

323
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: them to least, you know, try the crowdam from the

324
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: from the beginning, because they had helped me with some

325
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: other disabilities I was working through. But to expand on that,

326
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: because I was asking what creedum is, but I still

327
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: don't really understand, like why would you take it? Like

328
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: what's it do? That's a natural pain reliever, basically the

329
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: same type of category you were saying as pain relief

330
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: and maybe as an asker into that nature. But like

331
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: for myself, I had g I issues and so all

332
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: the other medicine they were given me was caused me

333
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: to throw a blood even further. And again that's why

334
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: I wasspired out of control. So the crowdam is allowed

335
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: me to come off the oxy code on all that

336
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: zombie dope and now I'm just getting ahold of my

337
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: pain just enough to be able to use my recome

338
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: and trike and then get that release that I need

339
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: to get. You know, I'm really angry a lot of

340
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: times because I'm just like when I woke up this

341
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: morning having the sciatic pain I'm having his spasms, took

342
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: to Crowdham pills. It was uh just enough just to

343
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: relieve that burden for me so I could start moving

344
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: forward my life. And that's what Cradham has been for me,

345
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: just that that that little bit of hope to you know,

346
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: allow me to get out the house without that that

347
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: deadening effect that comes with opio opiates. I suppose. Yeah,

348
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: the actual particular one I take, I got behind me, uh,

349
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: the Magda one this is has a little bit of

350
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: energy behind this particular bloin right here. But this is

351
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: my favorite strand. And like I said, Pure Health is

352
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: originally who introduced me to this product before I knew

353
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: about organic guys. It's just a regular mom and pop

354
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: store here in Las Vegas. And so I assume you're

355
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: on Creative right now as you're talking to us. You

356
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: seem completely coherent. So it's not it's not something that

357
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: gets you high. It's not. It's not, you know, like

358
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: an arcotic or anything. No, far from it. Like I said,

359
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: it says kill the pain, not the patient, you know.

360
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: And that's the whole thing where we're educating as far

361
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: as our nonprofit as well. We gotta educate our veterans

362
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: better how to manage and better manage their pain. It

363
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: doesn't always go away the actual physical pain. If you

364
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: think about our Vietnam era veterans, Vietnam is fifty plus

365
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: years ago. But those guys are still suffering from the

366
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: same disabilities that they received back in the seventies, right,

367
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: And so how do we help our veterans be able

368
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: to maintain on a daily function without being drugged up

369
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: on their narcotics? And like, in my instance, the same

370
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: medicine they were giving me to control the spasms I'm having,

371
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: it says right there it causes vomiting. So if I

372
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: already have issues with vomiting blood, I mean literally I

373
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: lost twenty pounds throwing up blood, why would you give

374
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: me a medicine to control spasms? But I'm gonna be

375
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: throwing up blood, you know? And it really and this

376
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: is the first time since leaving the military, I was

377
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: medically separating No. Two and who I found crowding with

378
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 1: forgot had not gone. My life was absolute mess. And

379
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: so that's what CRAWDA has done for me, not necessary

380
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: worry about the pills so much. Is is what it's

381
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: allowed me to actually do because now I'm controlling my

382
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: pain a lot better. So what's crazy about the whole

383
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: situation and and watching a leaf of faith, is that

384
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about this. This is a natural supplement. It

385
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get you high. It seems to be having a

386
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: positive effect on people like yourself, and yet there are

387
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: politicians that want to make this completely illegal. And it's

388
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: it's confusing because from what I saw the documentary at least,

389
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: and of course Chris is like an advocate of this,

390
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna say it's a completely unbiased documentary.

391
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: But there's I think one case of of that kid

392
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: who committed suicide, what was on a plethora of other stuff,

393
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: some antidepressants, and so it just unless there's you know,

394
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: tons of documented stuff there there's people dying for more

395
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: cigarettes alcohol, Like why it's my kind of mind bogging

396
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: of why they would want to ban this completely unless

397
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: it's just all about the government making more profit, um,

398
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, regulating it. I could understand, because as you're saying,

399
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: people are making this in their basement, and the supplement industry,

400
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: as we all know, it's very unregulated, so they could

401
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: just mix this with all types of fillers and who

402
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: knows what's in it. So that's why you got to

403
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: go to a reputable source. But the idea of making

404
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: it illegal, I really don't get. Yeah, and you know,

405
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: last time when they have made it a Schedule one

406
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: UH control supplement a few years ago that within that

407
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: same thirty days they had came out with some type

408
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: of pharmaceutical product that had a component of the of

409
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: crowdom in there. I guess just the difference is the

410
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: fact that it's not FDA regulate so ian you know,

411
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: doctors can't prescribe this. But if it's having positive effects,

412
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: why why not have people tried this out before they

413
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: get them on opioids or something. Sounds similar to the

414
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: debates we've had about, you know, medical marijuana over the years. Yeah,

415
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: except the only difference is it's not impairing you. I mean,

416
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: I assume right now you can go ahead, drive a car,

417
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, do whatever you wanted you during your day

418
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: on freedom and wouldn't be any different. You can follow

419
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: our progress. We have a Strada app and you can

420
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: see where we're riding in Las Vegas, where we're all

421
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, we're literally we're controlling our pain.

422
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we have some things

423
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: we're embarrassed about and disabilities limitations. I want to move

424
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: forward with my life though, I don't want to sit

425
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: in a v a hospital talking about all things wrong

426
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: with me. Crowding is allowing us to control the pain

427
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: and get out the house, you know, And that's what

428
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: it's all about. That's our actually slogan, get out the

429
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: damn house. What are some of like the other stories

430
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: you've seen, the veterans you're working with who have had

431
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: a positive experience using it, well, our our local uh

432
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: you know, teammates that ride with us, they use it

433
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: as well. In the same stories. Particular, young lady had

434
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: just posted on her social feed about it. We're leaving

435
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: her mind grain headaches and she was depressed, you know,

436
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of doom and gloom stuff of story

437
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: that she had. But the crowd Um has been able

438
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: to help her. Now just finished, she just graduated you

439
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: l V the college as a sociology degree and December

440
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: over here. So I got a control over pain two

441
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: years ago using Crowdham. Now graduating with your bachelor's going

442
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: to your master's degree. That's what we need to do.

443
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: We need to find solutions to help, you know, our veterans,

444
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: but also our community move forward. And that's what Crowdham

445
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: has been really able to do, has been able to

446
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: help some of those people control the pain. That's causing

447
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: you to want to, you know, inject yourself with heroin

448
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: or something of that nature, and now you would find

449
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: enough relief from the crowdham to worry. Hey, I don't

450
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: need all these other self destructive measures I was fighting

451
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: comfort in before. That sounds excellent to me. So let's

452
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: get into your organization forgotten not gone, As you were saying,

453
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: you guys are riding all over Vegas. What what? Because

454
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: I've seen the videos. What exactly is that stuff that

455
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: you guys ride? And it's it's interesting what they called

456
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: velomo bills. Velimo bill recumbent trikes. So just like I'm

457
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: sitting right now, you're in a recumbent position and so

458
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: the pedals are actually in front of us. And so

459
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: it allows me to overcome the spasms and the pain

460
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: I have with my back because I'm sitting down. And

461
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: then now I don't have to worry about my vision

462
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: issues and things because I have three wills, so I'm safe.

463
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm secure in the bike. We have the shell on them.

464
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: So even like it's raining right now, I'm getting outside,

465
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: I got electric assists on the bike. So even when

466
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: my knees go out, everything that's wrong with me I'm

467
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: able to overcome that one pedal at a time, and

468
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: as they're just incredible, uh bicycles and you so you

469
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: guys ride around on the it's not just you like

470
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: several people I guess have other you know, similar issues. Yes,

471
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: so we're just we're a veteran peer support network, just

472
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: fellow veterans serving one another. It's really just that simple.

473
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you know, we we

474
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: got a doom and gloom story to tell you, but

475
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to bore you. We're just moving forward

476
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: right now. And this is how we're moving forward. To

477
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: crowd them got me out of the bed, off the couch,

478
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: the bike, and who was gave me something positive to

479
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: do instead of you know, going to the local bar

480
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: and self medicating. I would veterans all day long, we're

481
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: riding bikes and this is the first time since leaving

482
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: the military that it feels life feels like worth living

483
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: another day. And what are you guys doing with forgotten

484
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: not gone? You know, because I know it's a veterans organization?

485
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: Five O one C three what exactly do you guys do?

486
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: So we're actually moving up posts, have our grand opening

487
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: of our new location on February three, and we're gonna

488
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: be located right across the street from the North Las

489
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Vegas Airport at a commercial center run by a Army

490
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: veteran over there. We won't hold that against are they

491
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: still good people? But uh yeah, they were generous enough

492
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: to give us a space in there so we could

493
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: run our kids programs and have a meeting spot because

494
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: since the last February we lost our original location that

495
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: we've been in the operating now the last thirty months,

496
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: and so we got over forty bikes right now, but

497
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: they're stuffed away in shipping containers and we have to

498
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: pull them out and you know what, they're transport them

499
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: to the local parks to meet every body, which is

500
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: a chore. And so we're just looking to expand this

501
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: uh coming month, start getting our program to be able

502
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: to have our weekly rides again. If you go to

503
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel Forgotten Not Gone Org, you can see

504
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: it actually visually see us riding the bikes. We had

505
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: something called our Saturday Night Survivor's Ride, and every Saturday

506
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: night for over three years, we would meet up at

507
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: the last location and whoever is riding that day Forgotten

508
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: Not Gone provided a free recombing trite for that veteran

509
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: or their family, and we get almost bikes. We go

510
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: downtown Las Vegas instead of us necessarily going to bars

511
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: and you know, having fun. We're right next to the bars,

512
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: pedaling next to it. We're on Las Vegas Boulevard Freemont East.

513
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: You know the same thing that tours come spending thousands

514
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: of dollars to our community. See, we're able to experience

515
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: that on our recombing trikes, just having fun and that's

516
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: just the opposite of being depressed. We just keep it simple,

517
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, keep it simple, stupid. That's what they taught us, right,

518
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: and I would assume with the logo you know, on

519
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: all these bes, it also just raises awareness for the

520
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: main cause, which is veteran suicide, which is alternative therapy

521
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: for vets. And I would think people see that they

522
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 1: want to get I mean, if I just saw you

523
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: guys riding around on these trikes, I'd be like, what

524
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: the heck is going on here? It raised his interest,

525
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: that's right, and that's what's helped me overcome the labels

526
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: at the v A placed on me. You know, when

527
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: I went to like the war related Illness Center. They said,

528
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: you've got PTSD and this and that. Uh, And just

529
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: six months ago, I lost my mental health provider that

530
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: I had for over, you know, three years. Just all

531
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I showed up to my appointment. She

532
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: no longer with the V anymore. I was like, you know,

533
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: somebody at least called me or something. And so this

534
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: new doctor I had to see over there and they're saying, well,

535
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: you know you've got PTSD, you gotta take these pills.

536
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: And uh, it was just a horrible experience just six

537
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: months ago. And uh, you know, I praised the Lord

538
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: and my wife was able to come to the next

539
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: appointment and talk to her enable articulate a little bit better.

540
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: But from that point, I want to say, may until today,

541
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: I've just had some post traumatic growth. I would say

542
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: I understand that those people over there, that's their best

543
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: advice that they can give a veteran, and they that's

544
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: the best advice because they didn't serve or do the

545
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: things we do. What I need and what I experienced.

546
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: Now in the last six months, I need to be

547
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: around other veterans, and I'm around in a team of

548
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: incredible veterans, people far better than me and everything, and

549
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: they've inspired me to live another day. This is the

550
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: actual therapy that I needed the whole time. I could

551
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: have saved you know, ten fifteen years of doom and

552
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: gloom stories had I been around the same type of

553
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: veterans I am today, veteran peer support. That's what it's

554
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: all about, veterans, servant veterans. I couldn't agree more. And

555
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: I think we've always preached that on here. Um. The

556
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: thing that's interesting with the documentary, and I do think

557
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: people should see it. The Crisp Beled documentary Relief of Faith.

558
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: Is that so he talks about And I followed all

559
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: this guy's documentaries. I mean they're all amazing, but yeah,

560
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: Trophy Kids was great. He Um. He talks about how

561
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: previously when he did prescription, thought he was on all

562
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: these opioids and he got off them during the making

563
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: of this documentary and he had to, you know, go

564
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: to the Malibu rehab center where he would usually visit

565
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: and tell them, hey, I'm on creatum like, but I'm

566
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: completely sober. Is this accepted here? And it's weird because

567
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people are unaware of what it is,

568
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: so they can't really give their take on it. Uh.

569
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: Some people are like, hey, if it's helping you, that's great.

570
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm wondering when you go to the v A and

571
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: you say, hey, I'm not going to take these pills,

572
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: but I'm using creatum, Like, what's their response. It was

573
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: a lot of backlash and using just any type of

574
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: all from alternative therapy. You know, even though if we

575
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: want to get into the topic of cannabis, you know,

576
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. They had a close mind. You know,

577
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: if we put this label on you, you need to

578
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: take these uh drugs as FDA approved, even though they're

579
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: going to have side effects you're throwing up blood. You

580
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: need to take it because their FDA approved, And if

581
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: you don't take them, that means you're not disabled. And

582
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a challenge instead of helping these veterans

583
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: again when they're getting out the military, we're just drugging

584
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: them up. And that's just trying to bad medicine, Like

585
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: across the board, that's just bad medicine. Yes, you have

586
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: these negative side effects, and then they tell you all,

587
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: if you stopped taking them, you're not disabled. Yeah, I've been.

588
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: It was the veteran peer support being around my fellow

589
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: veterans that helped me live uh without the medicine. I've

590
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 1: been around a lot of Vietnam mirror veterans, and I

591
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: understand that they suffered worse than I've ever suffered. But

592
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: because of that, I've I've been able to better manage

593
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: my life because of that, and I'm just a huge

594
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: opponent again of veteran peer support and again now I'm

595
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: able to help other veterans, even educate them about the

596
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: crowd them that they could find some relief. We're not

597
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna get high, We're not going to have a good time.

598
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna promise you all this, you know pinus

599
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: sky thing, but I can assure you that this is

600
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: what I've done to come off all the zombie dope

601
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: and to leave that worthless state of feelings that I

602
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: felt so worthless about my life for so long. And

603
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, just being here in front of you guys today, man,

604
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm just filled with joy because that's what that Crawdham

605
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: has been. Give me a little bit of hope physically

606
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: now of all those drugs, and my mind is starting

607
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: to come back. I can articulally words better. But prior

608
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: to this I was stuttering I had. It was like

609
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: retardation going on. It was just a horrible experience, you know,

610
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: my life. Did your wife have any type of similar experience,

611
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: because as we mentioned, she's an Air Force bet, she's

612
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: the co founder of the organization um has creative helped her. Yeah,

613
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, she found comfort in alcohol. So, and that's

614
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: what we're understanding. Different people choose different self destructive measures.

615
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: You know from my g I issues, I couldn't drink,

616
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: so I didn't have that hurdle that I had overcome alcohol.

617
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: But at that point, from she's leaving the military, having

618
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: the things wrong with her, uh internally as well, that

619
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: was damaged to her, she felt comfort and uh you

620
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: know oxy code on things of the nature she got

621
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: caught up in. Now that CREWDHAM does help, you know

622
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: actually too for a lot of women should tell, especially

623
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: when they're on their mentorals. That actually gives women a

624
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: lot of relief in the stomach region all that and

625
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: you know when you're taking some of the other medicine

626
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: it calls this stomach irritation. But Crowdham has allow you

627
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: to be able to give that relief. Well, the website

628
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: is forgotten not gone dot org, which has a link

629
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: to all the social media. If people are in the

630
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: loss Vegas area, you know, it's interesting back actually is

631
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: that I think next week is shot show, right, Uh, yeah,

632
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: that would make sense. Yeah, I would think there'd be

633
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: some vets who want to hook up with you guys,

634
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: probably by the time this is up. But if people

635
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: are in the area or live in the Vegas area,

636
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, um, how could they get hooked up with you?

637
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: And also what do you have on the horizon? Well,

638
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: moving into our new location to build out as happening

639
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: as we speak. So February third is supposed to be

640
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: the actual, uh you don't launch of the new location.

641
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,479
Speaker 1: We have three different veteran organizations in there. It's called

642
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: the House of Fame Las Vegas, and so we're gonna

643
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: be doing some great things for our community and we're

644
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: just excited. We're expanding, getting a few more bikes, and

645
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: we're expanding our our kids program and when that's what

646
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: we're fighting as well. In order to be able to

647
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: reach the veteran, you gotta take care of his family,

648
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes that veterans in a certain mindframe. But if

649
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: you could help their family get out the house as

650
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: well help their spouse. And that's what we do with

651
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: our recoming trikes. Helped the whole family, and that's how

652
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: it helped the veterans move forward. And and what is

653
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: the kids program exactly. We have the same bicycles that

654
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: we have the three wheels. They're they're just smaller versions,

655
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: but they're recoming trikes. And we also have four wheel bikes.

656
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: Were actually a burg bicycle dealer, so we have these

657
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: far we got an Army Jeep model UH four wheel bicycle.

658
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: We have one that fits actually up to a two

659
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: fifty pound person to design for a kid. But it's

660
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: fun when we take the kids bikes and we also

661
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: race those as well. Kids love that type of stuff.

662
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm always reminded, or at least it reminds me of

663
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: when I was, you know, I remember getting it was

664
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: either like a birthday present or a Hanuka President of

665
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: the UH, the like miniature Jeep that I remember my

666
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: grandpa got me. There was like video of me screaming,

667
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: Pa got me the Jeep. It was it was like

668
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: the greatest gift I ever got in my life. I'm

669
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: sure there's a VHS somewhere like my parents house to that,

670
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: but I'm sure like these kids love it. And then

671
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, I think kids understand

672
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: more than we uh sometimes realize, and you can make

673
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: them aware of like, hey, you know, this is what

674
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: these guys do to sacrifice for our nation and guys

675
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: who are amputees and all that there's a reason that

676
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: they made that sacrifice and it's important to what kids

677
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: know that that you know, there's people protecting our freedoms

678
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, and the kids they need to help,

679
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, when their dad's uh you know, working on

680
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: themselves going to the different treatments or meetings that they

681
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: need to overcome their disabilities. The kids gotta be somewhere.

682
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: You know, you can't always bring your kids to the

683
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: v A with you and go to your mental health appointment.

684
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: But you know that's what we're doing here now. You know,

685
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: you can bring your families over to us. We're a

686
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: family organization. You'll see other veterans with their families and

687
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: we're just working on overcoming our self luminity beliefs, and

688
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: our disabilities. I also would assume if you're a veteran

689
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: with uh, you know, who's predisposed or any of that

690
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: to alcohol or you know, any substances like that, people

691
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: would assume Vegas like not exactly the best place to live. Yeah,

692
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: that and and that's what you know, we all get

693
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: caught up here when I was medically separated, instead of

694
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: getting the help that I need, you find that help

695
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: in the streets. And that's why we're aspiring out of control.

696
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: That's why we're saying we're ground zero. You know, they

697
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: say that we're Vegas Strong. They raised over twenty million

698
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: dollars for that community when that incident happened. Right, look

699
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: at our veteran community. We're dying daily. We're one of

700
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: the highest suicide rates in the nation. Where's our where's

701
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: our nonprofit? You know? A housing center? You know, we

702
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: we don't have the resources we need at this point.

703
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: We got a billion dollar h you know, a new hospital,

704
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: but there's not even a swimming pool. Where can I

705
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: go for aquatics therapy? Where where can I go? As

706
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: far as personal training, rehabilitation to start overcoming these films,

707
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: physical limitation, it just doesn't exist. Well, well said, Visit

708
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: the website Forgotten not Gone dot org. It's got a

709
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: link to all the social media on there. The YouTube

710
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: so you could see you guys riding around and what

711
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: it's all about. I don't know if you have anything else. Um,

712
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: it's been good though, I mean it's it's been educational

713
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: to hear about creative and to hear the testimony from you,

714
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: and and it's just a positive story. I'm glad to

715
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: see that you're doing well and that you diner off

716
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: of all that, because there's way too many veterans we

717
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: hear about. Who are you know, in a via hospital

718
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: somewhere or not leaving bed or just you know when

719
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: you see the guys on social media just honestly complaining

720
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: all of that, and it's it's yeah, it's good to

721
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: just for my own edifit actian to find out that

722
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: there's this um alternative medicine, because when people come and

723
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: ask me about it or get into conversations about it,

724
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: I can point them in that direction as as maybe

725
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: maybe that's something that can help them. Yes, certainly, I'm

726
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: working on as we speak. I I just talked to

727
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: the people that are Urban Nice last week, so I

728
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: know they're coming out with a CBD blend. But I'm

729
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: looking to a partner up and figure out how we

730
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: can get something for our veteran community at a better

731
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: pricing point, something that we can market on our website

732
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: to our our our local veterans and make it more

733
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: affordable and attainable for the guys as well. We give

734
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: out samples now, but I like to be able to

735
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: make it more affordable as well for our veterans though.

736
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: And you know, last question, actually, you know, I feel

737
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: like you have your bias because you're an advocate for this,

738
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: but is there any experience you have of someone that

739
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: you introduced to creative and they said this It just

740
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: isn't for me. I know, you know personally haven't had it.

741
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: But again we uh the way that we uh speak

742
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: of Crawdham is in a different light, you know. Again,

743
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is for you know, over you know,

744
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: four years now, I've taken two pills and rode my bike.

745
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: I've experienced some joy in my life, That's all I'm saying.

746
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: So you know, I couldn't tell you that I didn't

747
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: do that in an oxy code on I did some

748
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: other self destructive measures on that, but this has allowed

749
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: me to start getting some joy and some respect back

750
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: in my life. And uh, I'm just grateful that been

751
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: able to get access to a better quality of medicine. Now,

752
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: have you ever gotten off of it for a little

753
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: bit and said, hey, let me see if this is

754
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: all just PU see about? Well, I don't have to

755
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: take it every day. I usually reserve it for the

756
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: actual times that I'm writing, and sometimes, like now, I've

757
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: actually taken you know, four caps. At one time, I

758
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: was real cautious and nurse you know about that, you know,

759
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: hearing all the doom and gloom stuff. But you know,

760
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: even up to now, when I'm in a lot of pain,

761
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: I'll take four caps and go ride my bike. But

762
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: that's specifically when I'm taking medicine or I have to

763
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: take it. I want to do something after that, you know.

764
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people now, I know crowdam

765
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: is now at the bodybuilding show Mr Olympia, they had

766
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: a booth over there, and a lot of people start

767
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: to use it as a pre workout. I guess you

768
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: know that that's like the latest buzz, But I've been

769
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: doing that four years ago. Just two pills and get

770
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 1: on my bike and go ride with my fellow veterans.

771
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: It's literally that simple. I've done the same thing over

772
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: and over and here we are since November two thousand thirteen,

773
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,680

Speaker 1: a lord. Bless you guys, and have a wonderful day.

781
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, Peter. Thanks Peter, appreciate it. Keep the faith.

782
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: That was good man. You know. Um, I was talking

783
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: to Joe la Faith, who we just had on recently,

784
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: and he heard me mentioned the creative thing on the show,

785
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: so he was like, let's creative. I don't know anything

786
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: about it, and he's like, I've been seeing it around

787
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: ever since you mentioned it. I want to know more.

788
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: And all I could say is like, oh, I saw

789
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: the documentary, but I have no experience with it. I've

790
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: never taken it. I can't speak of it positively or negatively.

791
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm aware that I saw a documentary of a guy

792
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: who's an advocate for it. You know, if someone puts

793
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: out a documentary for someone who's against it. I will

794
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: watch that as well. But you really can't argue with

795
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: a guy who, like as he said, it was on

796
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: these opioids, was throwing up blood and it is now functioning,

797
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: is active, is meeting with other veterans. I mean, it's

798
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: just hard to argue with. Well. I mean I made

799
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 1: that comparison to you know, medical marijuana, because the same

800
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: thing is that marijuana can be used medicinally to help

801
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: people have conditions who are adversely effects by taking pharmaceuticals.

802
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: So I mean this is something to keep in mind.

803
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe, uh, you know, instead of taking painkillers

804
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: or some thing, maybe this is an option. I don't know. Yeah, right.

805
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing that he said is the idea

806
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: that the v A say, oh, well, you're no longer

807
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: a disabled better and if you're finding alternative ways to

808
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's the case, I mean that that's

809
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: fucking criminal. That's so wrong it's it's not even funny. Yeah,

810
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: maybe we could investigate that further. I mean that sounds

811
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: like a good investigative piece to me, because that that

812
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: definitely makes I doubt I doubt they would fess up

813
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: to that. Um, if that's what a v A councilor said.

814
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: But if there's other guys out there with Peter's experience

815
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: or people that he could refer us to, uh, you

816
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: know and kind of validate that this is happening widespread,

817
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: then that's certainly an issue. Yeah. I mean I had

818
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 1: the when I went to VA for the first time

819
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: actually to get treated for lines disease UM, because I

820
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: caught lines UM not long after I came out of

821
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: the army, and UM, there's a mandatory meeting you have

822
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: to have with a social worker and I was like, man,

823
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: really okay. So I went in had this meeting with

824
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: her and she was all like, how did you feel

825
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: the first time you took a man's life? And I'm like, okay,

826
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm done here, Like I'm not. Like it was just

827
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: too much. She thought I was like fucking Johnny Rambo

828
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: or something um, And that kind of turned me off

829
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: to v A for quite a while. I've heard similar

830
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: stories from other people who are veterans of actually kind

831
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: of the the opposite type of thing. There's a guy

832
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: who's a the son of a family friend of mine

833
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: who was former military and he had to go to

834
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: some therapy and he from what I heard, I was

835
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: talking to his father, you know, they he was around

836
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: with these other guys talking about their issues, and he

837
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: was like, I can't relate to these people, like they

838
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything near what I've seen. But then eventually

839
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: he went to another therapy group and someone talked about

840
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: killing a kid while in combat, and he's like, all right,

841
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: I've never done anything like that, but at least like

842
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: these people have an idea of what yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

843
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: they were in the ship. Um. Well, and I mean

844
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: when I did, I did give v A another chance,

845
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: uh and went and talked to the shrink at the

846
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: Manhattan Via office here, and um, when I told her

847
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: that story about my first experience of the Social worker VA,

848
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: she was like horrified. She's like, oh my god. Yeah. Um,

849
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: but but things went much better the second time around.

850
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the CEO of this company, Brandon Wabe,

851
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: like he's talked about that yoga has helped him out

852
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: for his back problems. You know, I see guys at

853
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: the gym pretty regularly where I go who are amputees.

854
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea if their former military. I haven't

855
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: really talked about it. But you know, they maybe if

856
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: there's anything that's going to help you out, you know,

857
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: that's not an opioid, that's not physically addictive, that's that's

858
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: not claiming the wife of people every day. I'm I'm

859
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: all for it. Whatever you want to do, Yeah, it's

860
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: worth giving it a shot. See if it works for you.

861
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: You know, I had a tremendous amount of back pain

862
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: when I came out of the military those first couple

863
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: of years, and um, I went to the caropractor once

864
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: a week for a year maybe, and then and then

865
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: some more off and on the next year or two,

866
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: and um, I don't really have any problems anymore. That's great.

867
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: So I mean, you got to find out what works

868
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: for you, what's going to get you where you need

869
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, and uh, as I said, I've never

870
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: tried this, but at least from what I've seen, I

871
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything negative that could happen. I'm certainly

872
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: not convinced that, um, you know, a suicide of a

873
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: guy who was taking creative was necessarily connected. I mean,

874
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: it reminds me of when I was a teenager and

875
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: they put me on accutane for acne and I had

876
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: just signed some release about that this causes like suicidal thoughts,

877
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: and it was because one kid in college who was

878
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: taking an accutane and killed himself. I certainly didn't feel

879
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: any different. Well, taking correlation is not causation, yeah exactly.

880
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: But if someone has a successful lawsuit, then you know,

881
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: everybody taking this drug now is to sign a release

882
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: for him because just to cover their asses. And you know,

883
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: this morning I was watching to do a little bit

884
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: of research prior to this UM, I was watching uh

885
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan podcast where they're talking about creat um and

886
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: they're saying, like, like, the creatum is not going to

887
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: kill you. You know, it's not dangerous in that regard

888
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: for sure, UM. But the the guy he had on

889
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: the guest he was saying, he's like, you know, when

890
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: we set that bar, like will it kill you or not?

891
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: He's like, man, every anything can kill you. Like you

892
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: can die having sex, you can die taking a crap.

893
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: You get you get to the same point. I mean,

894
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: I guess if you fucking kicks back and smokes create

895
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: um or pops create um pills for a week straight

896
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: and did nothing else, But I mean, maybe it would

897
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: kill you. I don't know. I mean, who knows. YEA

898
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: marijuana can't it can't physically kill you. So he was

899
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: actually actually brought that up and he said, for marijuana

900
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: to kill you, you you would have to smoke your own

901
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: weight in marijuana. So it's just not physically possible. No

902
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: one's ever overdoes it's not. It's not going to kill you. Yeah,

903
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm just glad to bring awareness, uh you

904
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: know about this issue. Speaking to Joe Rogan, I can't

905
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: wait to hear Mike Tyson on the Joe Rogan podcast.

906
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: Is that he's having him. Yeah, he's been teasing that

907
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: out and I'm excited to hear Mike Tyson on his podcast,

908
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to hear Kanye West on his podcast.

909
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,479
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson has fucking crazy stories. I read his book.

910
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: It was it was an experience. So even remember when

911
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: he I think maybe he went on Howard Stern and

912
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: he was talking about prison sex. Yes, he did talk

913
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: about there was a teacher there that he was like

914
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: banging and when they have that, when the guests the

915
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: visitors come and they don't check you for cratchlets panties,

916
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: I was like, holy fuck. And Mike Tyson was like

917
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: treated like a celebrity in jail, so he got away

918
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: with ships. Um. But if you're if you watch that

919
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: documentary and it's on Netflix as well, Tyson, it's a

920
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: really good documentary. I would uh, I would definitely recommend it.

921
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: But the crazier stuff happened to him after that documentary. Uh.

922
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's just had a string of some

923
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: bad walking and a lot of poor decision making. But

924
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: remember his his young daughter I think, who was probably

925
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: maybe four years old, Um, getting choked by the extinction

926
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: cord on a treadmill and dying. Shit. That was shortly

927
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: after that documentary. So it's just like it was one

928
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: thing after the other for Jesus Christ. Yeah, and he

929
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: seems like a you know, for a guy who was

930
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 1: so violent and so aggressive, and you know, people have

931
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: their opinion on on whether he is a rapist or

932
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's what he went to jail. He was convicted,

933
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: but he was certainly, without a doubt, like a sexually

934
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: aggressive guy. He would say that himself in his book, Uh,

935
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, and inappropriate he's he he doesn't he proclaims

936
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: his innocence, but he's definitely a very overly aggressive guy

937
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: in that manner if you see him now and in

938
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: interviews he seems to have gone like the completely other directions.

939
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: He was like very peaceful guy. He doesn't if it's

940
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: actually why I suggest all you watched the documentary. I

941
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: hope I'm not uh ruining anything here. I guess if

942
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: you haven't seen this, he could. This might be a

943
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a spoiler alert. But they show his

944
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: last fight and his interview after, and you know, he

945
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: he gets beat by some like basically an amateure no

946
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: one's ever heard of, and they're doing the post interview

947
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: fight and he's just like, yeah, I don't have it

948
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: in me anymore. I did this strictly for the money.

949
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: I have some bills to pay. I don't have the

950
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: fight in me anymore. You know, I don't think I'm

951
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna do this anymore. It's it's embarrassing for the sport.

952
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: And it's like you almost watch just a guy be this,

953
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, admittedly like complete animal too. This that's like

954
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: a level of honesty you don't see though, Like you

955
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: don't see like UFC fighters today or boxers today, like

956
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: just come out and say ship like that, you know

957
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, I mean, the guy has made

958
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: between having a manager, Don King, who at least according him,

959
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: stole a great deal of his money. Um, and he

960
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: talks about like in his book, like literally throwing him

961
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: out of a limo, like imagine physically like while the

962
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: limo's driving. Um. But between that and then also living

963
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: a ridiculously extravagant life where he's like, I want to

964
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: buy a tiger. I want to buy this from my

965
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: like ship that no one else would even think of buying.

966
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: Who was the other boxer you tell me about? Who?

967
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: Like people on Instagram would be like, why don't you

968
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: go to Dubai, bro? And he'll just get on a

969
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: plane and go. I'm trying, I don't know a super

970
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: famous guy he fought many was that you're telling Mayweather? Mayweather? Yeah?

971
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather? Uh wasn't it you though? Telling me that?

972
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: Like he's like just like his fans on Instagram will

973
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: be like, oh, why don't you go to you know

974
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: this country of that country? And he'll get on his

975
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: private plane and go. Just I mean, I I don't

976
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: think I have no one who mentioned it, but I

977
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't find that hard to believe. He's just got like

978
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: stacks of cash. Yeah, and he's very he flaunts all

979
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: of it. You know, that's what a lot of these

980
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: guys do. I mean, if I it's weird, we've talked

981
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: about it before. The guy, he is one of those

982
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: guys who's worth insane amounts of money. But most of

983
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: the guys at least I've met in my life were

984
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: worth that type of money are the opposite. They're extremely

985
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: low profile. They don't they don't flaun it. I mean,

986
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: the big examples I could think of, or when I've

987
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: met Steve Forbes, you would think he is a random

988
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: guy walking the street. He does not have an entourage

989
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: or prior to all the stuff that came out, I

990
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 1: got to board up Harvey Weinstein and came in by himself.

991
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: Was a very normal guy, seemed to be at least

992
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: seemed to me before all you knew what Harvey Weinstein

993
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: has done. But well, I mean, I had this conversation

994
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: with with my wife a while back. I was like,

995
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: look like, if we hit the lottery, like we're staying

996
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: in the same apartment, and first off, we're going to

997
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: claim the winnings through a private trust. Like no, I'm

998
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: not going to talk to anybody about it. I'm just

999
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing the normal stuff I do because like

1000
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: you get that money, you like, I was raised in

1001
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,479
Speaker 1: a normal middle class household. You know, Um I wasn't

1002
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: raised that way. Like like having a butler, having someone

1003
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: who like does your dry cleaning, carries your bags, like

1004
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: it just makes me feel weird, Like I don't want

1005
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: that lifestyle, and I wouldn't want it for my daughter either.

1006
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: And you know, not the people hit the lottery, but

1007
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: I could tell you around where I live, like them

1008
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: in uh you know, Nashal County, Long Island, but like

1009
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 1: Sands Point, which is right near me, which is like

1010
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: all those like mega mansions of Long Island. I see

1011
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of those people every day on the how

1012
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: I r are, and like they do not see them happy.

1013
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: They're like out of shape. They're working themselves to that

1014
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 1: they're miserable, and they don't even really get to enjoy

1015
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: this massive house that they have or you know, it's

1016
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: like when you have all of that, then you have

1017
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: to maintain it. And I think that a lot of

1018
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: those people there's just this constant fear of like losing

1019
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: it all. Yeah, Bernie made off, Well, that's an extreme example. Yeah. Um,

1020
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: but like I think I was saying on another podcast

1021
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: about how like there's all these hedge fund bros and

1022
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: stuff who are all into their like preppers, They're all

1023
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: in a survivalism and having their like uh nuclear bunker

1024
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: out in the Pacific Northwest or whatever I think really is.

1025
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: It's like this fear that like you're just gonna lose

1026
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: all of it, Like the whole facade is just gonna

1027
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: come crumbling down out from under you. Yeah. You know,

1028
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: when I look at um, I don't know if we've

1029
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: ever seen, I mean, google at like Oprah Winfrey's house.

1030
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people would aspire to have

1031
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: something like that. But when I look at it and

1032
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: you have like a you know, full sized movie theater

1033
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: in your house, full size gym in your house, full

1034
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: sized tennis court, basketball court, and you have no reason

1035
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: to go anywhere, it's kind of weird. I mean, like,

1036
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm pretty introverted. I spend a lot of time alone,

1037
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: but like seeing you when I come in here, going

1038
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: to the gym, talking to people that I regularly get

1039
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: to see and catch up with, Like it's an important

1040
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: part of everyday interaction to have all this in my

1041
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 1: home and just have a staff of people who work

1042
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: for me. Would you know they're all probably essentially yes men.

1043
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a weird I don't envy that. Turning

1044
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: to Howard Hughes, you know, yeah, like like Donald Trump,

1045
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like you're surrounded by people are telling

1046
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: you how great you are all the time, how awesome

1047
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 1: you are, all your decisions are so smart. I mean

1048
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: that I will go to your head, and I mean

1049
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: it'll go to anybody's head because there's nobody there to

1050
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: be like, hey, dude, you're kind of fucked up right now.

1051
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't want to do that. But even just

1052
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: seeing other people every day it's you know, and here

1053
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: and what they're up to, it's motivating for me. Uh

1054
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: you know if I like, part of of the inspiration

1055
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: I get for working out and being able to, like,

1056
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, push myself is seeing other people push themselves.

1057
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 1: If if I did this in my house all the time,

1058
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, it'd be totally different going going to

1059
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: a movie theater. The part of the experiences you get

1060
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: to go to dinner with your friends and talk and

1061
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: catch up. Having all of this in my house I

1062
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 1: just I couldn't really imagine and having a good ball.

1063
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: So I do agree with you. I think if I

1064
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: hit the lottery, I would keep a pretty uh low profile,

1065
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: but it would be a lot of security. But I mean,

1066
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know who wouldn't be tempted to buy some

1067
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: pretty cool ship, not not Mike Tyson style and buy

1068
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: like a tiger from my house. But I mean, if

1069
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: if I had the disposable money, it'd be pretty tempting

1070
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: to buy a really awesome car. You wouldn't have the

1071
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: baby giraffe, no, uh never land ranch like Michael Jackson.

1072
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: There's some you know, there's some little perks sure that

1073
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: i'd go for make my life a little bit better,

1074
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: a little bit easier. Uh, probably buy a nice vacation

1075
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: home somewhere, you know, maybe get the apartment in Paris,

1076
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: you know why not like to travel. But um yeah,

1077
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine just living that kind of life. Man,

1078
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: it'd be too weird for me. And the things I buy,

1079
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,400

1085
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,480

1094

Speaker 1: to get outside the city and go here to do

1095
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,919
