Speaker 2: You've ever been, so oh yeah, we want you to

115
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: tell us about the journey that you took from your

116
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: first done as a teenager to the pyramids of ancient Egypt.

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I didn't do anything that

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: was dangerous at all. Like my brother and I and

119
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: my sister got dirt bikes and stuff, and like we

120
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: got him super late, like I beg my dad for him,

121
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: but we didn't have money at all, and he finally,

122
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: like you know, he's working man, he like finally saved

123
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: up enough dough to get dirt bikes, and my brother

124
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: and his friends like took to him real quick. Like

125
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: they would just like jump. They would build all these

126
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: like wood ramps and like dirt ramps and they would

127
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: go jump, and I was like, oh, whoa, that's so cool.

128
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: But every time I tried, just hurt my feet when

129
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: I lay on the pegs and I was just like

130
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: over it from there. So I was like, no, no,

131
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that. And then like that kind of

132
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: kept me from being like too crazy. In high school,

133
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: I got my first car, which was a Ford Explorer,

134
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: and that was right around the time that Gone in

135
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: sixty Seconds, the movie with Nick Cage had come out

136
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 3: Eleanor and oh dude, Eleanor and me and my friends

137
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: were like super into cars because fast and furious one

138
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: like that was like my era. Jackass was just getting huge,

139
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: and like you just had that new genre of people

140
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: that were making money and making livings off of just

141
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: doing what your friends do stupidly and garages and you know,

142
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: just hanging out after school or whatever, and like they're

143
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 3: making livings off of it. I was like all about

144
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: that life. I was like, those guys seem like they're

145
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: so cool, They're gonna be my best friends. And so,

146
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: you know, locally, I was always known as the kid

147
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: that would just do whatever. You know, I'd take any

148
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: bet you want to eat those French fries covered in

149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: the whole bytle of hot sauce for twenty bucks, all right,

150
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: twenty bucks twenty bucks. So like I was doing stuff

151
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: like that. And then one night, me and my friends

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: were just playing video games. I need gym shorts or

153
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: something stupid from my house. So like we jumped in

154
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: my truck and we were driving to my house. My

155
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: driveway is like a full mile of like asphalt before

156
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: you can even get to my house. But that's where

157
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: I would drive fast because you don't have to worry

158
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: about two way traffic, but it's only like a fifteen

159
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: mile on our zone and the road kind of sucks

160
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: and you don't think about things like tire pressure and

161
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So like I was like always driving

162
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: like super fast around this one corner and especially like

163
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: during the fall, like like the truck would settle on

164
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: the suspension and like you could feel it like slide

165
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: across the leaves and then like catching and I'd go again,

166
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: and like it was just like I'm super fast, you know,

167
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: and all my friends saw I was like the sick

168
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: like drift driver. Turns out like every time that I

169
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: was doing that, like I didn't I wasn't checking my

170
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: tire pressures and then in the fall, like your tires,

171
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: uh lose pressure. Just from that the temperature change. On

172
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: top of the fact that I was just terrible to

173
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: my first vehicle. I don't think I ever changed oil,

174
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: not one time. This one night, we're going to get

175
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: Jim shorts and it's nighttime, so it's like even colder,

176
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: and there's a bunch of people at my house. But

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: we weren't trying to go to this party. It was

178
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 3: like party my brother was having. We're going down my

179
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: driveway and like my one friend's in the front and

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: he's like older, and he was like the coolest kid

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: in high school. He's like prom king and all that stuff.

182
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: So he's like, you won't go as fast as you

183
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: can around this corner. And I was like what And

184
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: he was like, go, baby, go, so like the button

185
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: on the on eleanor in the movie, you know, he

186
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: was like, go baby, go and he's and then I

187
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: was like all right, bah, you know cause like you know,

188
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: who won't. I had a lot of pepper when I

189
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: was younger. I mean I ha a lot of pepper.

190
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 3: So I like punched the gas. And then my buddy

191
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: that was in the back, Nick, he was like the

192
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 3: only friend that was like old enough to be out

193
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: of high school, and he was like an older, wiser friend.

194
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 3: He was like no, stop, no, like laid down because

195
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: like he thought we were gonna crash. And I take

196
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: the corner like I had a bunch of times, and

197
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: the tires just folded right off the rims. Like it

198
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: was like as soon as I set that suspension, and

199
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: it just like instantly sent us into like a flip

200
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: and I rolled the truck. But right on that first flip, luckily,

201
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't wearing my seat belt, and I got ejected

202
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: out of my driver window, so like my head smashed

203
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: that window and I went out that window. If I

204
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: was in the vehicle, I wouldn't be sitting here today.

205
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: There was like blood spatter like where because I went

206
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: out and up and like police were there measuring the

207
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: scene and all kinds stuff, and then there's a big

208
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: old blood splatter twenty plus feet in the air, like

209
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: it like I went up and just smoked this tree

210
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: and fell down, like that's where they found me. But

211
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: apparently they couldn't find me for a little while because

212
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: once the truck came to rest, Nick who laid down

213
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: in the back, he just got a seat belt in

214
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: his mouth and ended up like splitting his lip real bad.

215
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: But he was generally okay. My other buddy in the

216
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 3: front like had a concussion and like corn rotator cuff

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: and wasn't in the greatest shape. But if my seat,

218
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: like if I was in my seat, like it looked

219
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: like somebody had can open or this pillar like it

220
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: ripped through the door and the roof, I probably would

221
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: have been like decapitated by it, because it was just

222
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: like that like open sharp whatever caught that space of

223
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: the truck and peeled it. But luckily I got ejected

224
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: and Nick called my friends like my brother at that party,

225
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: and everybody thought we were like messing with him. But

226
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: then he called back another time, had that like voice,

227
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: and I guess my brother like rounded up the house

228
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: full of kids at a party, so now you have

229
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: like fifteen drunk kids that were like leaving the house.

230
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 3: And then they got to the crash scene and they

231
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: called the paramedics. They called a helicopter, but they had

232
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: a hard time deciphering like who was drunk and who

233
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: was in the accident, and there's all these kids everywhere

234
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: and like, but I had no clue what was going on.

235
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: Apparently I had woke up and I started yelling. A

236
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: deer jumped out in front of me. A deer jumped

237
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: out in front of me. I don't know, even in

238
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: an unconscious state, I was still looking out for myself.

239
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: I think the first memory that I have of that,

240
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: because I still don't have a memory of the actual accident.

241
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: I have just right up until we rolled and then

242
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: like nothing until like they were pulling me off the

243
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: helicopter at the hospital because the first thing I remember

244
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: is like being super cold, looking up at blades and

245
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: like looking down, and then the sheet that they had

246
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: on me like blew off, and I was completely naked

247
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: and they wheeled me through the whole hospital with my

248
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: wiener out and I was like, man, that kind of sucks.

249
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: So right now, that was my first recollection from the accident.

250
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: Butedi that was Baltimore Shock Trauma, one of the best

251
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: trauma hospitals in the world, thankfully, and they took care

252
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: of me because I had like seventy hairline fractured or

253
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: some crazy number like that. I don't think they got

254
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: an actual count, but that's what they said as doctors

255
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: was like, you just have a massive like from here

256
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: to like mostly this side in the front, which ended

257
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: up healing back with like calcium deposits and stuff. So

258
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: I have a very thick skull for real, like not

259
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: even like joking. I think I have really tough nugget.

260
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: Pretty sure anyone who's familiar with you has no problem

261
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: believing that. No.

262
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had quite the illustrious career of like head injury.

263
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 3: One instance where we did that barrel in the three

264
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: D movie, Me and Jim de Champ we had the

265
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: same head injuries and he had a brain bleed, and

266
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: he's still not okay from it, like he still has

267
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: remnants of that that he deals with on a brain

268
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: level daily. But I've been super lucky as far as

269
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: the stuff we've been through. I mean even from birth,

270
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: I was premature and like they thought it was like

271
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: they read me my my my last rights when I

272
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: was born. So really, like my whole life, I've just

273
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: been lucky to be here. So I'm here for a reason.

274
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: Take us back to the hospital bed. What when you

275
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: wake up? What's going on?

276
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: Like at the time, I ended up getting some memory back,

277
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: and that's where I remember the chopper blades and stuff

278
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: like that. But like at the time, at the exact moment,

279
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: like when it happened, I was playing video games in

280
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: my buddy's room, so like I'm sitting there playing like

281
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: PlayStation and I'm like and all of a sudden, it

282
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: was like somebody just chopped like a movie, you know how,

283
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: like you can take film and like splice like one

284
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: one into another, like back in the day before like

285
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: computer editing. But it was like you took one film

286
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: and then you put another film that was totally different,

287
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 3: and like it was just like I went from playing

288
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: video games and all of a sudden, controller's gone. I

289
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: look down and I'm in a gown. I'm laying down

290
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 3: in a hospital bed. I'm looking around hospital bed, and

291
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm kind of smiling as I'm coming to It was

292
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: like the Wizard of Ozz. So it's like my dad,

293
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: my mom, and like all my friends at the time,

294
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: and everybody's like around the bed and they're like crying,

295
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what is what are you all crying about?

296
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: And then like the nurse was right there. I was like,

297
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: why am I in the hospital? And all of a sudden,

298
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: like as soon as I say that, like all this

299
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: pain set in, like in my back and like in

300
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: my head, and I was like whoa. I was like

301
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: what happened? And like the nurse, like on cue, was like,

302
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: you crashed your truck, honey, And I was all like

303
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: at the time, like I'm fast dripping the world, and

304
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: so I was like, yeah, bullshit, whatever, No I didn't.

305
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: They're like, no, like you really wrecked your truck. And

306
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: I was like, was anybody with me? And they were like, yeah,

307
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: your friend Nick and Brian, and I swear to god,

308
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: this was like a movie. As soon as she said

309
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: Nick and Brian was with me, the curtain to my

310
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: side opens up. Like I was like, we're good, bro.

311
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: It was like Brian he's in a gown and his

312
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: arms all jacked up and he's got like half an

313
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: ear hanging off, you know, Nick sitting there, he's got

314
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: stitches in his mouth. He's like, yeah, dude, we're good.

315
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: And they're like holding on too little IV things. But

316
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: it was like on cue, like it was like a movie,

317
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: like they had planned all these things and like that's

318
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: all just happened naturally. And then over the next two weeks,

319
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: I was pretty much just in and out of consciousness

320
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: because of how bad my concussion was. The world didn't

321
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: feel real. There was too many coincidences where I was like,

322
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: there's no way that that happened in that time. That's

323
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: just too much. And like from that point, like I've

324
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: even today, like if I start thinking about things and

325
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: situations that have happened in my life, and like I

326
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: start thinking about them when they happened, I can actually

327
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: put myself in a place where like this isn't real,

328
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: like and it's like a really weird headspace. But then

329
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: I'll shake it off and I'm like, all right, this

330
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: is reality. Don't be stupid.

331
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: Wow, So that's crazy, like go crazy, you.

332
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: Know, No, it's definitely like my brain. It's so weird

333
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: the things that I've experienced inside my own head in

334
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: my lifetime to where you're just like, what's it all mean?

335
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Like even sleep, Like I get caught thinking all the time,

336
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: like in my sleep, where do we go? Why do

337
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: we do that? What sense does that make? To no

338
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: longer be on this plane for eight hours a night

339
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: or whatever you end up getting sleep? Because I've woken

340
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: up from dreams I war to god they were real.

341
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: I mean, like as real as this is happening right now.

342
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: I've woken up and been like, oh, this is real.

343
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: But is it? The brain's a weird place.

344
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: Do you feel like this wreck, like these injuries, is

345
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: that what set you on this path of being able

346
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: to go into this almost alternate.

347
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: It's funny because like before the car crash, I was

348
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: always like super cautious as far as like pain levels

349
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: and stuff like I never really wanted I was like sissy,

350
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, man, that's gonna hurt. But then

351
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: like after that crash, I was like, when it hurts

352
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: that bad, your body's just going to turn it off.

353
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: So like, what's the matter. Like, once it gets to

354
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: you know that level, like what you're scared of, you're

355
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: not going to feel it. If you actually get into

356
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: a situation where your body thinks that this is the end,

357
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: like it automatically does the chemical dump that is like

358
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: really weird. So I was like, Oh, I don't really

359
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: have to worry about that, So it's gonna live life.

360
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. What effect did the crash have on your family?

361
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: I never really asked, but like I had never seen

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 3: my dad cry before, and I like saw him cry then,

363
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: and I haven't seen him cry since. I saw him

364
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 3: really super upset with me after I crashed the street

365
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: bike because that was only like four years three three

366
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 3: years after that truck crashes when I crashed the motorcycle,

367
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: and he just had that face like you're gonna be

368
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: done with this, and I was like, yeah, I'm gonna

369
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: be done, and then.

370
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: And then you work done.

371
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: Then I got better and I made a whole career

372
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: out of it. I jumped off a cruise ship one time,

373
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: and like I saw my grandma like right after, and

374
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 3: like I had my face it was basically like from

375
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: here to here, it was just like swollen, shut and

376
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: purple cause like I had hemorrhaged my left eye from

377
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: hitting the water so hard. And she was like, Oh

378
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: my god, your face.

379
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: What happened? What happened to your beautiful face? I thought

380
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: you wanted to be a scientist.

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: It was the funniest thing. Yeah, it was so good.

382
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: Oh and when I got my show on Science Channel,

383
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, Grandma, check it out. I'm on

384
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: the side. I'm scientist.

385
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: That came full circle.

386
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 3: It's kind of funny, she laughed.

387
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: So what was the tipping point? Like how did you

388
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: then jump into this as a career for life?

389
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: Well that's I get that a lot, Like how did

390
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: I become part of Nitro Circus? And it's just such

391
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: a weird question for me personally because everybody thinks that,

392
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: like you think of it now as like a brand.

393
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 3: It's like Nitro Circus is a thing. I was just

394
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: hanging out with Travis for STRONGO and like I wasn't

395
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 3: even hanging out with Travis, Like I was hanging out

396
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: with Jim de Champ and Greg Powell, Travis's cousin who

397
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: both of them lived at Travis's house at the time.

398
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: We were just kind of kicking around, goof and off.

399
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: We were just hanging out and he was shooting DVDs,

400
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: and I thought I was gonna be super famous, you know.

401
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, this is a DVD that's

402
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: gonna be a motorcycle shops and maybe even Walmart. This

403
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: is crazy. I'm gonna be so famous. From having that

404
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: thought to seeing where it is now, it's crazy because

405
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: like I didn't sign up for anything. I wasn't part

406
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: of it. I helped create it, you know what I mean, Like,

407
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: I like it became something because of what we were doing,

408
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 3: and now like I've gone around the world four or

409
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: five times with it.

410
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: When that started, there wasn't a Nitro Circus yet.

411
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 3: No, there was only Jackass and that was only an

412
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 3: MTV thing, Like it wasn't even movies yet thing.

413
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: Okay, I was just clarifying as I was like, oh,

414
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: pretty sure. Niner Circus came later.

415
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: So when I did my street bike flip, the reason

416
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: why I even did it was because I was at

417
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 3: a party where Jim de Champ had just started dating

418
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: a family friend of mine. We were always at parties

419
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and my friends were like, oh

420
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: my god, Jim to Shamp, he's so cute. Oh my god,

421
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 3: he hangs out with Travis Pastrana, because like Travis was

422
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: like super locally talked about because he's like our famous guy.

423
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: Jim lived at his house and like Travis's house was

424
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: just on cribs and like all my friends were like

425
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: super impressed by him, and I'm super like, I'm like,

426
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: talk about that guy. I'm way cooler than that guy,

427
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. They were filming Nitro Circus one,

428
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: the DVD. They had just shot pretty much all of

429
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: it and they were in the editing process of it,

430
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: but they were so pumped on how the first one

431
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: was turning out that they were already filming for number two.

432
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: I talked smack on the first one because Jim showed

433
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: it at a party and like all my friends were like,

434
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. I was like,

435
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: if I had that kind of money and like, you know,

436
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: I could do better, And Jim was like, oh yeah,

437
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: you think you do better? Put up a shut up

438
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: basically and invited me over to do a film shoot

439
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: to see who could come up with the best footage

440
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: for two grands. So like a bunch of teams went

441
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 3: out over a twenty four hour period to see who

442
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: could get the coolest footage. Didn't matter what it was,

443
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: it just had to be the coolest footage. I ended

444
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 3: up overshooting the phone pit and I won the two grand.

445
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would imagine. I know you haven't

446
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: seen this video. Yeah you can't know.

447
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: I don't like yucky stuff.

448
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you don't see the yucky stuff.

449
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean you can imagine that. You can imagine the

450
00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: yucky stuff because when street bike, it's street bike, Tommy, Yeah,

451
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: okay from Yeah, some people referred someone as a crotch rocket. Like,

452
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: we're not talking a dirt bike, We're not talking a

453
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: jump bike. We're talking a bona fide street bike.

454
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: It was a two thousand and two Suzuki GSXR one thousand.

455
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: I've watched that video multiple times, and now that I

456
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: like know you and I love you and you're my bro,

457
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm like what I want to be like, what were

458
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: you like? Don't do that ever again?

459
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 3: I mean, in my defense, I didn't plan on missing

460
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: the phone pit.

461
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 2: You just really wanted to win that two thousand dollars.

462
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so in my brain I thought that

463
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: because I had jumped it before at like twenty five

464
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 3: miles an hour, and I just like was like and

465
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: like barely went in the phone. And then my only

466
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: other buddy, because Travis wasn't here, nobody else here. They

467
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 3: were out film and trying to get their own clips.

468
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: And my only buddy that had any dirt bike experience

469
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: at all was like a plumber friend of mine. His

470
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 3: name's Wayne, and he's the one that actually shot the

471
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 3: famous clip from the ladder in the tree. He was like,

472
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: you can hear them on video. He goes, you can

473
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 3: go twice as fast, and like I went twice as

474
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 3: fast and.

475
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: Physic Yeah, And clearly you didn't learn your lesson in

476
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: the Ford Explorer when your friend had said you won't go.

477
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: Well, there was no money on the line then.

478
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 3: Though, Yeah. Yeah, And like I said, I had a

479
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: lot of pepper, a lot of pepper when I was younger.

480
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 2: After this second close escape from death happens, now suddenly

481
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: the world knows who you are and you're reunited with

482
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: Travis Pastrow. What happened next?

483
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: Well, at that point, you know, one of my biggest

484
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: things was like, cause I really like going out of

485
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: bars and stuff. I do enjoy the company of a female,

486
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: so like, I don't ever want to be like the

487
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: boring guy at a bar. Like I was young, and

488
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: I was like, just how I'm gonna get chicks?

489
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: Little?

490
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: Does anybody ever tell you that you get more dudes

491
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: than anything with the life that I've chose to live.

492
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: So you became really popular with the guys.

493
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: Oh man, man, the bros are my man, those are

494
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: my homies. Because if it wasn't for the bros, no

495
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: chick ever know at all what I do. They're always like,

496
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 3: you don't know who this is? And they're like, no,

497
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: why would I know who that is? And then they

498
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: show them the clip and they're like that's stupid, and

499
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, I didn't go anywhere I thought that was

500
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: gonna go. So but yeah, that's pretty much my original

501
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: drive was just to like party because like after that,

502
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: I became like the hot girl at the bar. You know,

503
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: everybody was just buying me drinks and stuff, and that

504
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: still happens to this day. Like I cannot go out

505
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: on my birthday. If I go out on my birthday,

506
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 3: it's just like out of hand. So I tend to

507
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 3: limit myself on holidays and stuff like that because people

508
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: do really like to get me going because I'm a

509
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: lot of fun when I drink.

510
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: This is what's crazy is because you're you're a lot

511
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: of fun anyway. Yeah, right, so then you know, you

512
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: throw in the chemicals and it's like it's rocket fuel.

513
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 2: Yep ye, So you decide to make another go at

514
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: the ballpit.

515
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: So the thing was, It's like because after after the

516
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: each DVD was made with Travis, he would rent out

517
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: a theater in our hometown, a Napolis small theater and

518
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: play it on the big screen to a whole theater crowd.

519
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: And I was always sold out because he would sell

520
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: tickets through a bike doctor in Annapolis and it would

521
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 3: always get a sold out crowd. And in my brain,

522
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: you know, oh my god, they played it on a

523
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: movie theater. So like I'm like, well, I'm a movie star, right, literally,

524
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: somebody rented it and like you know, it's like a

525
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: one theater thing. That was like the coolest thing because

526
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: I showed up hammered. I was still in a wheelchair,

527
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: and like all my friends were like feeding me drinks,

528
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: like because we're partying because I'm a movie star now.

529
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: And that night like right as like the movie ended

530
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: and everybody was walking out. Greg Godfrey, who was the

531
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 3: original producer of Nitro Circus, he came up to me

532
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: and my friends because we were like the last ones

533
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: in the theater, so like high five and then like

534
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 3: passing each other drinks and stuff. And he comes up

Speaker 3: me know, just give me a shot. And he like

551
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: flicked his card at me, and I was like, all right, cool, dude,

552
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: that's sick. And I got, you know this this director's card.

553
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, and he told me he

554
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: wants to work with me. I got to come up

555
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: with a really good idea. I want to do this forever.

556
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: So that's when I had the idea to jump off

557
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: that cruise ship. And uh yeah, that's an even longer story,

558
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: but long story short, I jump off hemorrhage to my

559
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: left eye and I still had pins in my foot

560
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 3: at this time, Like I was still super injured from

561
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 3: the street bike thing. But I didn't want to like

562
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: waste the opportunity. So like I jump off the side

563
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: of his cruise ship and I had my buddy film

564
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: it from a jet ski, but he was like super

565
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 3: far away. The footage ended up really sucking. He just

566
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: looks like somebody threw like a dead body off the side.

567
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: It was like, ye, it was just like a little

568
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: dot like it made nitro circus lock and load and

569
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: it was either lock and load or three. But they

570
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: like had to put like one of those like zoom

571
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 3: in circles on the little dot and be like that

572
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 3: was Timy that jumped off a cruise ship. It was

573
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 3: really terrible footage. Otherwise, like that would have been huge too,

574
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: because there was like a kid that jumped off a

575
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: cruise ship not too long ago, but like the it

576
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: was like on a cell phone that was actually pretty

577
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: good and his video went crazy. So I feel like

578
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 3: if I had something like that, it would have been

579
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: way better for my career. But that got me in

580
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: the door because once I actually did that, because that's

581
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: where the name street by Tommy comes from, because I

582
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 3: took that number and I called that number and all

583
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it was like ring ring, ring, ring,

584
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 3: Hello God for you entertainment, this is the Stacey's Sea,

00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: on talking to a secretary, So I was like, uh so,

587
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: and like in my brain, I'm like, how am I

588
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: going to make myself sound important enough for her to

589
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 3: actually transfer me to Greg. I was like, I'm a

590
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: Tommy from the last video. I was a guy on

Speaker 3: the street bike the crash the Pumastrana land Champ Tommy

592
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,200

Speaker 3: with and she was like yeah, hop please and like

595
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 3: and then it was like fifteen minutes later being like

596
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: on hold. Greg picks up the phone and he's like,

597
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: so you got a nickname now? And I was like,

601
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: Greg Godfrey who's famous and like producer guy that I

602
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: want to work with. Sure, that's my nickname. And it

603
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: just stuck. That's how I got my foot in the

604
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: door was that he didn't believe me once I told

605
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: him that I was going to jump off a cruise

606
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: ship and when I was going to jump off cruise ship,

607
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: because I still wasn't like I wasn't even remotely from

608
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 3: the street by crash, I did that and I actually

609
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: did it, and from that point on he was like,

610
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: I gotta have like an actual camera on this guy.

611
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 3: Like from now I'm like, he has to have a crew.

612
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: And every time he called me up invited me out

613
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 3: on a shoot, like I'd always get really good footage,

614
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: and I just kept getting the invite and I kept

615
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 3: showing up. But the thing that nobody tells you is

616
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: that I didn't get a single paycheck until we are

617
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: actually on MTV, and I actually had quit Nitroy Circus

618
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: because they just wouldn't pay me at all. Like in

619
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: the DVD days, I was in like seven DVDs and

620
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: like I had not gotten one paycheck, not a single

621
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: red scent. All the early day stuff was you know,

622
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: you're basically throwing yourself to the wolves and like risking

623
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: your life for beer and T shirts because you get

624
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: out on these film shoots and you know, it's the

625
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: most fun ever because you're with like some of the

626
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: gnarliest dudes to ever live, and we all go really hard,

627
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: and you know, you do your stunts during the day,

628
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: but afterwards it's like the best party could ever see

629
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: or think of, And like, you just don't you don't

630
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: want to be left out like that. FOMO is really

631
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 3: what kept pushing me to do as much as possible.

632
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: And then I got to travel, like after like I

633
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: jumped off the cruise ship. The very first trip that

634
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: I ever went on was to Spokane, Washington. I had

635
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: never been anywhere but Florida before, or Ocean City, Maryland.

636
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: But now all of a sudden, I'm flying to Spokane, Washington,

637
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: and I watched Travis do the very first double backflip

638
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 3: to dirt ever, which was this huge step up.

639
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: So what were you up to that got you from Spokane,

640
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: Washington to ancient Egypt.

641
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: So shortly after I did the cruise ship jump, and

642
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: then shortly after I learned that backflip, I was like,

643
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: you know what, I think I can do backflips. So like,

644
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: I learned how to do a backflip and I landed

645
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: a backflip to dirt on a two stroke two fifty,

646
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: so a full sized dirt bike. But then I was like,

647
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: you know, because I was trying to do a front

648
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: flip on the street bike. I was like, man, nobody's

649
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: ever done a front flip on a dirt bike. I

650
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: bet you I could do it. So then I was

651
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: like dead set on like learning how to do front flips.

652
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: So I start jumping in the phone pit like all

653
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: the time trying to do a front flip. But like

654
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: the phone pit is super unforgiving. Everybody thinks it's like,

655
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: oh it's a pitophone. Sure it makes it so like

656
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: you can land and like live, but there's so many

657
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: different things that can go wrong in a phone pit.

658
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 3: Like one you can miss it, like go over it.

659
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: You can miss it to the side because like you

660
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: hit and like you kind of g out because like

661
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 3: you maybe you pulled harder with your right hand than

662
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: your left, like all your movements are multiplied.

663
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: And you really think you check both those boxes with

664
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: the step bike jump.

665
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the street bike I went straight over. And

666
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: then another time after that I actually landed on the

667
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: side wall of the phone pit because I was like

668
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: just showing off for this like chick that had to

669
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: sturt bike. That was like I can't backflip my motorcycle

670
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: because it's a one twenty five And Tray was like,

671
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: Tommy can do that, and I was like, yeah, I can.

672
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: And then like yeah, and I like I did like

673
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 3: the flip, but in it on like the actual wall

674
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 3: of the phone pit and like threw my hip out

675
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: for a little while. But that never even made film.

676
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: That was just something that's stupid that I did. But

677
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: this time you don't let go of the bike because

678
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: like there's been a few times like in the movie,

679
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: like I was going for a backflip and there's so

680
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 3: much power that it like blew out of my hand,

681
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: so I didn't even like mean to lick o of it,

682
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: and it just goes up. Well, you hit the phone

683
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: and then it hits you. Oh yeah, So like it's

684
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 3: basically like somebody dropping at dirt bike on you from

685
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: like twenty twenty five feet a two hundred and fifty

686
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: pound motorcycle like.

687
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: That can do it sucks, that can do some damage.

688
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: Well, another thing that nobody ever really thought of was

689
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: like when I go up and I get stuck under

690
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: the bike, you're wedged and you're at the mercy of

691
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: whoever jumps in sticks the hook around the tire and

692
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: then pulls the bike out first, and then you have

693
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: to like wiggle out, you know, because you're wedged in there.

694
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: And a lot of times they would have to like

695
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: dig to me because I would compress the phone so

696
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: much that I couldn't move, Like I was at the

697
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: mercy of like however, however my body was it's like

698
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 3: a really hot avalanche like that you have to get

699
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: somebody to dig you out of. And then this particular

700
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: time I was going for a backflip on Travis's really

701
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: expensive race bike, and I go for this backflip or no,

702
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: at that time, I was going for the fronts. So

703
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: I'm going for the front, and I'm like landing on

704
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: my face and I'm getting like super wedged in. I'm

705
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: like super deep, and then you don't see anything. It's

706
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 3: super dark, like it's it's completely black, and you can't

707
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: breathe at all. As soon as you hit, you got

708
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: to kind of like make a little cavity of air

709
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: because like otherwise if you just go like can't you know,

710
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: you suffocate yourself that way. So like I land upside down.

711
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: But as soon as I land the little nipple cap

712
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: Normally you have like this breather tube, but Travis had

713
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: the gas cap ones and like the little top popped off,

714
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 3: so it was like streaming race gas like on my neck.

715
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: I was like, oh no, And like I tried to

716
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: like put my head to the side. I got nothing

717
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: but race people. I put my I had this way,

718
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 3: nothing but race fuel. And then like I was like, oh,

719
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: there's nothing I can do. I'm literally stuck breathing only

720
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: race fumes. I was trying to find air anywhere, and

721
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden. I was getting that feeling,

722
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: which you probably know all too well, is like when

723
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: they put you under anesthesia and the world just does

724
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: this yeh, And I just like and I passed out

725
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: on race fumes and I come to in my head.

726
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: I don't come too but I'm now aware. In my head.

727
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: I basically like look up, and my friend Chris is

728
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: on the side of the phone pit, standing like looking

729
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: at me, and I'm like, what are you doing? And

730
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: he's like what I was like, throw me the hook

731
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 3: and he's like I can't. I was like, what do

732
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: you mean you can't. He's like, phone pits haven't been

733
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: invented yet. And I was like, what do you mean

734
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: they haven't been invented yet. I'm sitting in one. He

735
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: just do phone pits haven't been invented yet. It's like

736
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: when he said whatever year it was, it was like

737
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: something dumb like thirteen forty two. I forget what it was,

738
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: but like it was like ancient Egypt times, like in

739
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: my brain whatever that number was. And I was like,

740
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: what do you aren't we in Travis's phone pack. He's like, no, dude,

741
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 3: We're in Egypt. And I was like all right, and

742
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: like I just I some in my hallucinization. I accepted that.

743
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, cool, I guess I'll just wait.

744
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 3: So like all the all these like years start passing by,

745
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 3: and like in my head, this is like real time,

746
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: as real as this time is passing right now, these

747
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: years start passing. And I was like in this phone pit,

748
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: just hanging out like for year and a year, and

749
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 3: I was like, bro, you know, there's gotta be something

750
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: like you've got to throw me a hook that's like

751
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 3: super hot. So like I think I'm in the desert

752
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 3: because like now I'm starting to feel like I'm burning.

753
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 3: I was like, bro, like I have to get out

754
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: of here. I'm burning, like something like the sun's burning me.

755
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: And he was like all right, hold on, and he's like, oh,

756
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: good news. This thing's a time machine or whatever. And

757
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: then like I was like, oh, like and it's just

758
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: this was all making sense to me, you know, as normal,

759
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: see as normal, get normal. I was like, all right, sweet,

760
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 3: good thing, this is a time machine. He was like,

761
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 3: let's just go in the future. It's gonna take about

762
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: forty years. I was like, okay, cool, now I'm waiting

763
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 3: forty years and like this time is like literally passing,

764
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 3: and like as soon as he said that, there is

765
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 3: a time machine that started moving. Now this phone pit

766
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: that like I'm in looking up, so like you, I

767
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: only see an upview of the world around me. So

768
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: I'm like seeing like Egyptian things and like they're like

769
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: slowly passing, and like this thing's moving, like you know,

770
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: it's a time machine, so it's passing like it's in Egypt,

771
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: but it's traveling towards Maryland, like where Travis's phone pit

772
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 3: actually is. So I'm like staring up at the sky.

773
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: I'm seeing all these different views and then all of

774
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: a sudden, I see nothing for a really long time

775
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 3: because like I'm crossing the Atlantic, and then like after

776
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: like you know, whatever amount of years has ended up

777
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 3: being like probably thirty years. It's like when I started

778
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: seeing like trees and stuff, and I was like, oh,

779
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 3: I'm almost there, you know, when I started seeing East

780
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 3: Coast trees, and like forty years past, forty real years

781
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: in my head pass by, and like I look over.

782
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: I was like can I get out yet? He's like yeah, man,

783
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: And then like I'm like on fire. I'm literally like burning.

784
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 3: I'm like I'm so glad that you know, I'm here now.

785
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 3: And it was weird because the whole time that was moving,

786
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: there was also like I've seen like hawks, like when

787
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: something really wild where I think I'm having like a

788
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: near death experience, like I've always seen like a hawk,

789
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 3: but in my hallucination there was like a hawk, and

790
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: I just I always felt comfort when I saw this hawk.

791
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: It was like looking out for me. That's happened like

792
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 3: multiple times throughout my life too. It's been really weird.

793
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: But then like I was like, throw me in the hook.

794
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: He was like all right, and then like no joke,

795
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: like God's hand like came down, but this like there

796
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 3: was like here and like I just grabbed God's hand.

797
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: I was like yay, all right, here I go, and

798
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: like it was like the normal thing, like nothing was

799
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 3: weird about that, and like I like start getting pulled

800
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: out and I was like, yeah, this is awesome. And

801
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, the real world actually happened.

802
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: Like I took a deep breath and I was like

803
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: and like, all of a sudden, I'm in the real

804
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: world again, and like it's back at that time when

805
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: it actually happened, I was like in my brain. Forty

806
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 3: years had gone by, but I was like, weird, It's

807
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: like now I'm here again. I felt like I was

808
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: getting a do over. And then I look up at

809
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 3: the at God's hand, which ended up I was just

810
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: holding onto the hook, like the actual hook you know

811
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: we used to pull our bikes and stuff out with.

812
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: And I'm like, hey, hanging on to it. And then

813
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 3: like I get out and like I have this whole

814
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 3: thing and I'm like, can't believe that, Like I'm back.

815
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 3: And then still to this day, like I think about

816
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: that hallucination, like I still feel those forty years. It's

817
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 3: almost like I got those forty years in my life

818
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 3: just laying there.

819
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I've always been fascinated with dreams and you're subconscious,

820
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: right because it's so real and so you even sharing

821
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: some of the experiences that you've had throughout your life,

822
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 2: when you look back on that time, those forty years,

823
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: it feels like it was part of your life.

824
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's as real to me as this time right now.

825
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: Even talking about it kind of freaks me out. That's

826
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: another that's like kind of rewind all the way back,

827
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 3: like when I was talking about that kind of stuff

828
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 3: when we first, this conversation was like, you don't know,

829
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 3: I don't understand the different plane. Like, I feel like

830
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 3: there's so much more out there that we don't know

831
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: about because of what I have personally experienced and don't

832
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: understand in the slightest. But I feel like there's so

833
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 3: much more we don't understand how to unlock it yet.

834
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: But I feel like whatever it is, it's going to

835
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: be rad because I've been I've touched bits of it,

836
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 3: and I'm just I'm trying to absorb as much as

837
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: I can see.

838
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: To me, the I think some people refer to it

839
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: as an out of body experience. I think some people

840
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: were referred to I mean, there's, as you well know,

841
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: especially in this country, there's no shortage of opinions, right,

842
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: and the good thing is is that everybody can have

843
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: their beliefs right even if you disagree, you can still

844
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: love each other in this country. That's okay, right, And

845
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: so I hear you tell that, and yeah, I could

846
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, without a doubt, it's.

847
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: Crazy, like I've always heard it out of body experiences,

848
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: and I I feel like I've never had that. I've

849
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 3: never ever in my whole life felt out of body.

850
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 3: I've always felt out of plane.

851
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's interesting. But I think part of that

852
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: in Jake's experience that too, But he's experienced that two

853
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 2: on some level, and I think that does allow the

854
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: two of you to have such a different experience and

855
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: even compassion for other people. Yeah, and that desire to

856
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: live life to the fullest.

857
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: I think it awakens a part of the human spirit

858
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: that usually lies dormant in self protection and self preservation.

859
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. I mean, I've had over a dozen

860
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: times in my life, a dozen for short, solid ones,

861
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 3: where I have accepted that I'm dying. Like I've been like, Okay,

862
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: I'm today's right now, this is happening, I'm going to die,

863
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: and then luckily I've made it through it. But there's

864
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 3: been that many times in my life where I've truly

865
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 3: accepted that that was the end. And if I met

866
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: me in high school versus me now now, like I

867
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 3: would be so just upset at myself, like I can't

868
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: believe what it's even just the travel that I've been

869
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 3: able to do and meet the people that I have

870
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: because you're just you're so stupid, I mean, just you

871
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 3: know nothing until you get out there and experience life.

872
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 3: It's crazy how small this world is. I originally was

873
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 3: a drywall hanger from Shadyside, Maryland that was never going

874
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 3: to see the world at all. And I thought, like,

875
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: you know, I knew everything. You know, I truly in

876
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: my brain was like, oh yeah, you think you got

877
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: to handle on. You don't know the first thing about nothing.

878
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why it's a saying yeah yeah.

879
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: And travel, I mean it's so important to us because

880
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: it does it broadens your horizons. It allows you to

881
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: see how other people live and to know their environments

882
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: and what they've gone through or what they go through

883
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 2: on the daily. And it's ye, love travel. It's extremely

884
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: important to us. What are your loved ones think about

885
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 2: your lifestyle?

886
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 3: Like, once again, I don't really I don't know if.

887
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: You know.

888
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: I mean they think it's cool. Like my dad's like

889
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: super proud nowadays, Like he whenever we're on job sites

890
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 3: and stuff, you know, because I'll still work with him

891
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: every once in a while. I know, he's like bragging

892
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 3: on me all the time. He does like a lot

893
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: of work with storage facilities. There's these people that work

894
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 3: the front desks and stuff like that that like are

895
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: responsible for the properties, but like it's like, oh my god,

896
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 3: you're his famous son, blah blah blah blah blah, And

897
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 3: I'm all like, yeah, I'm super famous, sign autographs and

898
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: home depot and talking to you guys.

899
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: Like that's awesome, proud dad.

900
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been able to achieve the fame, but I've

901
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 3: never been able to achieve the financial freedom to like

902
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: have that kind of insulation. So like, I'm a very

903
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 3: normal guy, Like day to day, I'm still a carpenter,

904
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: and I still you know.

905
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: What, say you do get hit with that fortune, you know.

906
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 3: Even though you've already got the I don't think I

907
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: would ever change you.

908
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: Wouldn't change a bit, dude. I think you and now

909
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: work with your dad just to go work with your dead.

910
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 3: I truly vibe that now. I feel like when I

911
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 3: was younger, I would have been like, oh yeah, I'm

912
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 3: gonna buy an airplane and all this stupid stuff. But

913
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 3: I feel like, honestly, like nowadays, the lessons that I've

914
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: learned in life, I wouldn't change anything, but I would

915
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 3: just my go on life at this point. If I

916
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 3: do ever hit like that massive fortune, the only thing

917
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: that I would do is just turn off my social

918
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 3: media and actually truly live the life that I portray.

919
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, I live the life that I portray,

920
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: but I don't get a chance to really experience it

921
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 3: for myself because I'm always trying to have something to

922
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 3: show the world, so you don't truly enjoy it for yourself.

923
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: And I enjoy what I do, don't get me wrong

924
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 3: at all, but I would love to actually be able

925
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 3: to enjoy the life that I do live for myself.

926
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to know what motivates you to get

927
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: up and keep going through the grind every day, then

928
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: you have to go do a world tour, then you

929
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: have to come back and go do this job, or

930
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. What motivates you to keep on

931
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: grinding with grace the way that you do.

932
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 3: For me personally, it's just being able to do both

933
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: really is everything, because when I do one or the

934
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 3: other too long, I get like these vibes that like,

935
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 3: what's the point I'm doing the same thing that I've

936
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: always done over and over again. Like if I'm working

937
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: a lot, I'm like, Okay, now I'm seeing the same

938
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 3: seven dudes that I see all day every day, telling

939
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: the same stories all day every day, doing the same

940
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 3: work all day every day, and I start to get

941
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: this like anxiety, like this like I gotta go do something,

942
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: and then like you know, then I'll jump on and

943
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 3: go do some rad stuff. And then if I'm doing

944
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 3: that for such a long time to where I start

945
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 3: feeling like I'm living out of a suitcase, and then

946
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 3: that has its monotony, because like when we were doing

947
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: the live tour, I haven't done a live torn four years.

948
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: I've done two shows just recently, but other than that,

949
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 3: I haven't been on the Live tour at all. Because

950
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: it got to the point where I was just getting

951
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: to these places in the world, like when you have

952
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 3: a regular spot in Russia or something like that, you know, like, oh,

953
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: I'm going back to Japan that restaurant that I go

954
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: to all the time. As cool as that is, you're

955
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: just like I need to do something different, you know,

956
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: and then like I'll change it up, cause like even

957
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 3: like even through COVID, I was a traveling contractor, you know,

958
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 3: like I just went and did heavy timber frame stuff

959
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 3: randomly to go from state to state, and like I

960
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 3: had no plan at all. Like I was just getting

961
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: by experiencing as much as I could. And it was

962
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: just such a really weird time in my life that

963
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 3: I truly value because like I was staying with friends

964
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: wherever I was going, but in between, like when I

965
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 3: was going from state to state, I was driving and

966
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 3: I had like, you know, the overlanding set up on

967
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: my expedition, I was like sleeping in my tent and

968
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 3: like parking on like rad canyon sides and stuff like that,

969
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: and like living that vagrant life. It was really crazy,

970
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 3: Like you just you don't expect that's where you're gonna

971
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 3: be at some point in time. You just never know.

972
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: So like, never stop living because every single day we'll

973
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 3: throw you a curve ball, no matter how in deep

974
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, this is going to mean my life

975
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: because this happened nasun guarantee. You don't know nothing about

976
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 3: tomorrow guaranteed, you know, just just keep waking up, keep

977
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 3: doing it while you can, because one day you're not

978
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 3: gonna wake up, and you don't rush that because we

979
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 3: all get one life, So what's the point of wasting

980
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: a single day of that? And like I've you know,

981
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 3: I've been sad I've been down, especially like being what

982
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: you see is successful but not successful, you know what

983
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Like you get down on yourself. But like

984
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 3: that's the one thing that's kept me going through anything.

985
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: Has just been like Tomorrow's going to be different, good, bad,

986
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 3: and different. Tomorrow is going to be different. You go

987
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: through spells and as bad as stuff as I've experienced

988
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 3: in my life, you know what, Like I've experienced like

989
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 3: just as much, if not more good. It's peaks and valleys,

990
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna ride the roller coaster till it's truly over.

991
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm not going to rush the roller coaster.

992
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: That's beautiful. Thinking back on your life's journey, is there

993
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: one person or organization or entity that's made a huge

994
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: impact on your life?

995
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Travis Pastrana and like, because I didn't

996
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 3: care about doing anything that I've done in life until

997
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 3: it just organically happened. But yeah, I mean there's probably

998
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 3: there's got to be a hundred of those, no matter

999
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 3: who tells you they've done it by themselves or whatever.

1000
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 3: Like there you don't have anything in life happen without

1001
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 3: another person. And like I've been fortunate enough to have

1002
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 3: the ratus group, and like whatever it is that brings

1003
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 3: us together, Like our group has this gravity that just

1004
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 3: brings the greatest people on Earth together. But Travis Foreshore,

1005
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 3: Joe Lene like are the original cast members of Nitro Weekly.

1006
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 3: You try to anyway, But just lifelong friends. I mean

1007
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 3: even like my friends back before anything ever happened, Like

1008
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 3: kids that I've been hanging out with, like my Explorer buddies.

1009
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 3: You know, they're all still my best friends. It's just

1010
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 3: people that have been in my life and have stayed

1011
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 3: in my life.

1012
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: So what do you do to recharge in unwind?

1013
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 3: I mean I say that like I love just sitting

1014
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 3: on the couch watching TV and like sleeping in like

1015
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: without an alarm. That's my favorite RESTful things. But nothing

1016
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: like truly recharges me like life experience or learning something new,

1017
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 3: taking a risk and having a new education on something

1018
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: that like I never thought I would have. That feeds

1019
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 3: me because I want to be the most capable person

1020
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 3: I can possibly be, Like I got my CDL, I

1021
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 3: ran a restaurant up until COVID screwed that up. You

1022
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't believe the things that I've done just to learn

1023
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 3: how to do something that I wouldn't think that I

1024
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 3: would be able to do. And like it's just it's

1025
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 3: very organic. It's not something that I was like, oh,

1026
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 3: I want to do that. It's just something that happened

1027
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 3: to come into my life. And I was like, that'd

1028
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 3: be cool if I learned that, and I just that's

1029
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: I just I love learning.

1030
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: That's yeah. Absolutely. And the final question what feeds your soul?

1031
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: Love feeds my soul? Friends, just the intimate connection that

1032
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 3: I have with who I'm with. You know, I've had

1033
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: now three girlfriends of my entire life, Like I had

1034
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 3: two up until recently, and then like now I'm with

1035
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 3: someone that I truly care about amy Hood. I can

1036
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 3: truly say that, like this is the happiest I've been

1037
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 3: in over ten years. Wow, Honestly, I haven't known a

1038
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 3: love like this yet. Like she truly compliments me, and

1039
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 3: I just this is very new. We've dabbled for like

1040
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 3: eight years, but we've just recently like decided like that

1041
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: let's just be together. She truly feeds my soul because

1042
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: I feel like this is like the first time in

1043
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 3: my life that I've found like my mirror, Like wow,

1044
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: she is like the hot female version of me. Like

1045
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 3: it's crazy. It's crazy. Man, I really do think that

1046
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 3: she's the one for me. So I'm pretty currently.

1047
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: If we don't get an invitation, Bro, you're gonna be

1048
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: visiting a hospital.

1049
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 3: Oh bro, I'm gonna get you standing up there with me.

1050
00:48:58,840 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

1051
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 1: And you know what, after the last one I did,

1052
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: I looked at Ask and I was like, baby, I'm

1053
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm never doing this again. I'm over it. I'm overcoming

1054
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: the thing I would do that.

1055
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: I would especially because Jake knows exactly what everything you

1056
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 2: just said, like, he knows exactly what that feels like.

1057
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: So oh yeah, humility, that's the humility flowing out of

1058
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: Ashley's face.

1059
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: Right, I love that. I love that.

1060
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you, man.

1061
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 3: I compreciate you.

1062
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 2: And she's a badass daredevil too.

1063
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1064
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. And that's the thing, like since we've gotten together,

1065
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: we truly compliment each other. And we've had like opportunities

1066
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 3: that have already come up in like this first two

1067
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 3: months of being together that like we just feel like

1068
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 3: this power couple vibe. We're going to tag team this thing,

1069
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: you know, And it's like, not only do we truly

1070
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: enjoy each other, but like, we're going to have a

1071
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 3: lot more opportunities to enjoy life together because of we're

1072
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 3: being together. And that's what's what it's all about.

1073
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: If you're gonna share this crazy, spinning ball of chaos

1074
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: that and habit, yeah you should share it with somebody

1075
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: that challenges you to be.

1076
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,040

1079
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: for it is what it is, and I'm not taking

1080

Speaker 3: a single moment for granted, like not one.

1081
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 2: It's so inspiring to hear because we do get into

1082
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: our rhythms and we get into our patterns and we

1083
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 2: get into our day to day. But yeah, we've got

1084
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: to live. Life is so short, we've got to live

1100
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: Love the Man, the Myth The Legend Street by Tommy Passamonte.

1101
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: Dude is hilarious and like you said, it's clear he

1102
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 2: loves so hard, like he does everything so hard.

1103
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, he his halfway button.

1104

Speaker 2: Just is inop sounds like someone I.

1105
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, I know. But it's one of the reasons

1106
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: I think we connected so well from the very beginning.

1107
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: And I just love his passion for life. I love

1108
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: his love of life. And when he says like I

1109
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: don't want to waste a single moment, right, that's exactly

1110
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: what he means.

1111
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: And that's the biggest takeaway for me on this episode

1112
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 2: and this conversation that we had with him, is that

1113
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: life is short and sometimes we do we get bogged down.

1114
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: We need these reminders of hey, you know what, Today's

1115
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 2: an opportunity. Today is a gift. I've got to go

1116
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 2: out and I've got to live it to the fullest

1117
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 2: and give it everything that I've got.

1118
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: And he's one of those guys that just reminds me

1119
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: and it's okay to take risks and fail, right, that's okay.

1120
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: You know you have permission to fail. And the difference

1121
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: being in Tommy's case, he brings me back to the

1122
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: old thing. If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough.

1123
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: I was about to say, you might have some broken bones,

1124
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 2: but that's okay.

1125
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: But seriously, one of the greatest guys on the planet

1126
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: who has a true love for all things adventure, and

1127
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: Travis Pastrano has been such a great friend to him,

1128
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: and I know that their bond's unbreakable, and I just

1129
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,720
