Speaker 1: to have the floor, man, Tony, my man, we actually

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: collaborated on event. I think last year we we tried

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: to get Vanilla Ice to one of your I thinks

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: this is actually very deep because we actually instead had

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: Coolio come out to your event. Yeah, man, I tell

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: you what. Rest in peace, Coulio and thank you guys

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: for hooking that up because a lot of the other

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: artists were sucking assholes to the management. Honesty, the management

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: were assholes, But Coulio saved the day for us. We

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: had rented out the entire Palms rooftop. We had this

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: amazing event set up, and he rolled in and a

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: thirty minute said he ended up pulling out his boys

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: the saxophone and being a two hour and a lot

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: of great memories from that night. He hung out with

49
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: us afterwards, had a couple of shots. We rolled dice

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: together in the in the suite and man, take your money, No,

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: it was a friend. What's on the tables, To be

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: honest with you, I don't remember, you know, you know, Tony.

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: It's crazy because, um, you know, I have an extensive

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: you know, memories with with Coolio and and uh, you know,

55
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody foreseen him passing and passing away

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: on us. You know, it's such a legend in the game.

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so many different things with the dangerous minds,

58
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: from the shows, from the hits that he's had, and

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: then you know, sitting with you know, having you know

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: you with him, and I remember you taking photos with them,

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: and then actually singing on stage with him, but you

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: were up there saying a geister's paradise. Yeah. I got

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: to wrap with them as well. I freestyle some little ship.

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: But dude, it was crazy because he you know, you

65
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: look at an artist like that and you think, all right,

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: he's just known for a couple of hits, or he's

67
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: just the movies. But he had a great business acumen

68
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: to it. I think you and I were talking about

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: you guys were building out the set with the kitchen.

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: He wanted to do cooking with Coolio, and he was

71
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: talking about how he had been black balld from the

72
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: industry on Netflix and his his political message didn't match

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: the narrative and ship. And I don't want to digress

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: too much, but what an amazing human being. And and

75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: shame on everybody who just automatically thought it was drug related. Yeah,

76
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, that's the other thing I want to I

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: want to bring up because I know he's got a

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: family and there's a legacy there to protect. It wasn't drugs, dude.

79
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: It was just asthma, you know. Yeah, And you know,

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people especially you know, and

81
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: I say this for for rappers, you know, people think

82
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that you know right away that it's you know, they're rappers,

83
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, so they have to be drug addicts, game

84
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: bays or something else. But they forget that it's the

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: music business. And music may come first, but it's business

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: that got them to where they're at. So you know,

87
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: most of these guys when you see them, you know,

88
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: on a world tour or um you know, doing things,

89
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, don't get it twisted. These men and women

90
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: have made theirselves business folks first in order to be

91
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: where they're at, especially Coolio and all the you know

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: movies and documentaries to songs that he's produced and been

93
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: a part of. So it's been a big deal. Um So,

94
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: Matt right correct, how you doing? But I'm doing fantastic?

95
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800

00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,800

00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: I want to listen to you know, I got to

101

Speaker 1: speak with you a little bit, but I want to

102
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200

00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: So if you would do me a favorite, just tell

104

105
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: or even twenty or thirty years ago, before you even

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: got into the military. Um, and then you know what

107
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: you who you served with, and then who you are.

108
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: Sure the only question I'd have for you is, you know,

109
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: the reason I went in the military is not exactly

110
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: the most lighthearted reason. You know, it's a little it's

111
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: a little dark. So I'll go there if you want

112
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: me to. You know, listen, not now, I won't get

113
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: I won't get too dark. I won't I won't have

114
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: people crying or anything I like crying. Here's the thing,

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, we we we love being vulnerable and we'd

116
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: love to cheer up on this show. We do it

117
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: all the time. We get to hear people's beautiful stories,

118
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: and whether they're good, bad, or ugly, we want to

119
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: hear him. So all right, um, but let's start before

120
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: the military. Though, who are you? You know what I mean? Like? Who? Who?

121
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: Where do you go to school? You know? Who are

122
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: you as a young man growing up? So Mike said,

123
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: my name is Matt Um. I grew up in Virginia

124
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: around around the d C. Area. My family is mostly Italian. Um.

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I moved around a lot because my mom died when

126
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: I was very very young. I was eight years old,

127
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: and my dad kind of never really recovered from it. Um.

128
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: And so I went to boarding school life. UM. I

129
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: also went to I lived in another country for two

130
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: years and what's uh what is now a shutdown program?

131
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: And it was it was a Mormon program in Western Samoa. Yeah.

132
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: So I was there for two years, and you know,

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: we used to do it was like kind of it

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: was a crazy experience. We used to like for a punishment,

135
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: they'd make us like dig holes in the sand. We

136
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: lived on a beach Paradise Cove. They did a documentary

137
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: on actually Paradise Coves called up the Lost Boys. Yeah,

138
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: so they did par They did a documentary on it

139
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: called the Lost Boys, and I was one of the

140
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Lost Boys. Um. But you know, they used to make

141
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: us like dig holes in the sand, filling back up

142
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: and running with rocks over our head. They would just

143
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: try to smoke our bags all day, you know. Just

144
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: so the military kind of made sense for me. A

145
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys that I was there with, I don't

146
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: talk to them, but I see them on Facebook a lot.

147
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Of them are some a lot of our senior ranking

148
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: in the military, because it's just like you can just

149
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: take pain and just keep going. Um, now, and now

150
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: you said that was Mormon. That was so it was

151
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: run by a Mormon organization. I don't want to get

152
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: sued by anybody, but um, the guy's name was Brian Vifanua.

153
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: He's like black balled from everything he gets because there

154
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: was a lot of abuse going on. I didn't experience

155
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: anything too crazy, got my ask whip, but um, there

156
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: was some some other guys that got allegedly right, that

157
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: got abused sexually. Sexually. Yeah, so a lot of like

158
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: some guys, a lot of guys like ended up you know,

159
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: years later, blowing their brains out and just all sorts

160
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: of craziest ship. You know, it was a wild play.

161
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Some guys they say they have PTSD from it. I

162
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: don't personally. I was there for a long time too.

163
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: I was there for two years. Most guys are only

164
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: there for like a year. Um, how did you ender there?

165
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: My dad didn't want to be a dad. I was

166
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: really troubled. Uh. I felt the loss of my mother

167
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: at a very young age, and he just I was

168
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: angry and he didn't. He didn't want to be there

169
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: for me. He didn't want to step up to the plate.

170
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: It was easier to send me off to somewhere else.

171
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: And so that's what he did. Do you have any siblings, Yeah,

172
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I have a sister. Yeah. Um, but that was what

173
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: he did. That's how he dealt with it. He just

174
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: chose to because he he he did well. At the time,

175
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: he was making like two or three under grand year A. Yeah,

176
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: it was a lot of money. This is like ninety seven, right, So, um,

177
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: I come back. I'm home for maybe a year. I'll

178
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: never forget it. So I come home. My dad's a schmuck.

179
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: You never told my sister I was coming home. So

180
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: I come home. And we lived in uh, we lived

181
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: in Virginia. And I go, it's it was wintertime when

182
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: I came home. And I go and I'm sitting in

183
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: the kitchen. My dad never told my sister I was

184
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: coming home the only time. Like, my sister and I

185
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: aren't close, but I know she loves me, and this

186
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: is how I know. Right, So I come home, I'm

187
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: sitting in the kitchen, I'm freezing my ass off, and

188
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: I've been in like gree weather nine gree hmmunity. I

189
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: just started freaking out. I had him had a panic attack,

190
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: but it was close, right. So I'm just sitting there, like,

191
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sixteen at the time, and my sister

192
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: comes down and she just starts crying. She's came home

193
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: down for breakfast and there it was her brother. She

194
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: didn't see me or talked to me in two years.

195
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: So whatever. Anyways, so a year later, my dad sends

196
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: me off to military school again. I'm there until I'm

197
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: probably sixteen or seventeen. I get kicked out. I go

198
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: to another military school, but this one was this one

199
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: was very very very militant, right, so all you could

200
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: do there, there's nothing to do except for workout. So

201
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: I was like seventeen, eighteen years old, like two h

202
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: five pounds of just pure. That's all I did was

203
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: lift weights, like two or three hours a day. There's

204
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: nothing else to do. So I came home. My dad

205
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: was married to a a woman I won't say your name,

206
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: but you know, she just just like to run her

207
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: mouth to me, and I just, you know, like when

208
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: I just I came home, I was tired. I had

209
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, I just had enough, and I just told

210
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: her to funk off. You know, it's like shut your mouth, woman,

211
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: like I want to. I don't want to listen to

212
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: this bullshit, you know. And he of course had a way,

213
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: you know, he felt a certain way about that. And

214
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: then I threw him through a coffee table. So him

215
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: and I have never really been We don't We don't

216
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: speak anymore. And that's a longer, longer story for But anyways,

217
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: have you tried, like have you have you tried to

218
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: to to find the the compassion in your heart to

219
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: say let it all go funck? No? You know why?

220
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Because he he did the same thing to my kids

221
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: that he did to me. You can you can do

222
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: me dirty, and I can take that right. But I

223
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: kind of I was kind of hoping that old age

224
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: and maybe him down a little bit, maybe him thinking

225
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: that this is the second chance for him. But he

226
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: he bailed. He bailed on my daughter, and he built

227
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: on my son a couple of times, and I was like,

228
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't exist to me. That generational

229
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: man was his father a piece of ship too. Know.

230
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: My grandfather was a great dude. Um. I was actually

231
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: raised by my mom's father, but my dad's father was

232
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: a great guy. He just died when I was. He

233
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: died in like eighty nine, so I was six. He's

234
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: it was eighty seven maybe so I was. I was,

235
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: I was young, but I remember him. You know, he

236
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: had a walking sticks. I had his walking stick in

237
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: the garage, and I would go give him his walking

238
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: stick and we would go on a while. I don't know,

239
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: that's what I remember. And i'd go visit them in Florida.

240
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: And I have nothing bad to say about the guy,

241
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: so that he he did try that. Oh you know,

242
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: my mom wasn't my dad. Mom and dad weren't loving

243
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: to me. It's like fun GoF man, Yeah, that's not

244
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: an excuse, right, And even if they were, like you weren't. Yeah,

245
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: that's why you should be more loving, right right, you know,

246
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: like you know that that's the wrong thing, that you

247
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: should pivot and be different. You know, it's crazy because

248
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: because as a young man, you know, for me, like

249
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, always thought my dad hated me too, and

250
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: and uh, it wasn't until you know, I was probably

251
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: in my twenties, like late twenties, dude, like probably almost

252
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: thirty that um, you know I realized like, okay, he's

253
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: not an asshole. He's just very aggressive and he doesn't

254
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: know how to show love to me, right because my

255
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: dad grew up in a UM, in the uh juvenile system,

256
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: you know, because his family gave up on him. So

257
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: we don't even really know any of his family. And

258
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: and then there was this this time where you know,

259
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: like he went from the juvenile system and they said, hey,

260
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: do you want to stay in juvenile hall and go

261
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: to the go to you know, jail or do you

262
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: want to go to the military. And he's like, oh,

263
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: I'll go to the military. Ended up in the navy

264
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: UM then you know, postal service, union workers, so on

265
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: and so forth. But he was very not loving, like,

266
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, not not the guy that you come home

267
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, I love your son, you know,

268
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: and give you a hug or tell you any And

269
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't even think I can remember him telling me

270
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: he loved me and tell you know. I was in

271
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: my thirties, but and I'm sure he did, you know.

272
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: When I look back as a as a youngster, I

273
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: feel like there was times when we were when I

274
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: was really young that he loved me. Um. But then

275
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: but as I got to a certain point, I realized, Oh, ship,

276
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: my dad loves the hell out of me, you know

277
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: what I mean, he's like my biggest fan. He just

278
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: doesn't stand for the dumb ship that I was doing

279
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: because I was. I was completely out of you know,

280
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: I was just a loose cannon myself, I think growing up.

281
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: So but you know, continue though, no, say, it's hard

282
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: to quantify that, right, I mean I would probably literally

283
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: pull my knife out and cut my own liver out

284
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: for my kids. You know. It's just it's just like

285
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: but it's like it's an intense, intense love that you

286
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 1: cannot That's the only way you can describe it is

287
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: that I would jump in front of a bullet, I

288
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: would jump in front of a car like whatever. You know. Um,

289
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: my dad just ever felt that for me, and that

290
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: was that was tough to come to grips with. Right.

291
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, well, maybe maybe that's that's that's how

292
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: I'm really worth right, maybe my life really isn't worth anything.

293
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: So I really like I had to do a lot

294
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: of a lot of work in that area, and I

295
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: went in the military. So the long the reason I'm

296
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: saying this is because I went to college, um Virginia

297
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: Military Institute b AM, I a little school and um

298
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: in southwest southwest Virginia, so every southeast and even southeast

299
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Southwest anyways, whatever. Um. So I I get out of

300
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: college and like two thousands, six thousand and seven, actually

301
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: it's two thousand seven. And then so I'm going into

302
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: that job market, right, it's the recession. Um. I was

303
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: feeling very lost. I didn't have really a purpose in life.

304
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: And then you know, Afghanistan kicked off, and then I

305
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,600

354
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I've I was in that community. Everyone the selection process,

355
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: but they they have a very intense selection process. A

356
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: lot of stuff because things tests, you know, navigation, a

357
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,840

358
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: naked it's it's a u but they kind of look

359
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: at the whole person, like how smartest person. How physically

360
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: what's their physicality, you know, personality. Look, they look at

361
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff. And again, um, I went

362
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: through some some of the similar trainings that they go through. Um,

363
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: just because I was lucky enough to get you know,

364
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: in being that community for like three or four years.

365
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: But um, my uncle was a green breath. And that's

366
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: why I asked because you know, unfortunately you know he um,

367
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: he passed away. But you know it was weird because

368
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: you know he was that uncle that you know, it's

369
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: like the outcast of the whole family. You know. He

370
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: he came home from from war and um which one

371
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: uh you know the desert storm or Vietnam is Vietnam. Yeah,

372
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: see those guys, that's that's a whole different animal. Right,

373
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: So like, are you an example The first thing you

374
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: did on the show is thank me for my service? Right, Well,

375
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: guys from Vietnam, man, they got none of that. They

376
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: got spit on, they got called baby killers, all sorts

377
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: of ship. It was fucking nuts as a different time. UM,

378
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: I think it's great that people are they whether they

379
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: really think it or not, right, they at least say it.

380
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: They should you respect, you know, if you're I hated it,

381
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: but you know sometimes if you're like out in uniform,

382
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: people buy your lunch, you dinner or something. So's it's

383
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: been a it's been a very good cultural paradigm shift, right. So,

384
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: but those guys, ma'am, you know, they're going to the

385
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: jungle and sometimes you know, half them wouldn't come back.

386
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that's well, and that's that's the thing. I mean, like,

387
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: you know, the two big memories I remember him, you know,

388
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,560

404
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: to go there. Like he went from A to Z

405
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: and just started you know, racking people, right, but the

406
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: level of violence that you're willing to go it was quick. Yeah,

407
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: And he beat the ship out of my brother, you know,

Speaker 1: I still love him to death, but um is that

411
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: he you know, he would never staying at home. He

412
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: would always live on the streets. So he lived in

413
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the streets of the Long Beach and as just you know,

414
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: he just wouldn't come home, like he would want to

415
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: stay there for day or two and you know, see

416
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: the family, and then he would go back to the streets.

417
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: And he just lived in the streets, like in parks

418
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: and in different places, you know, and he wouldn't uh

419
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: for years, would never come home. And you know, we

420
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: went after him to go find him, you know, because

421
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: he would be from San Diego back to you know,

422
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: Long Beach and those were his two spots. And um

423
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: it's just he he was so so you know, caught

424
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: into the war. Um that he he didn't want to live.

425
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: He wanted to live in in the woods. Like he

426
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: would find a park and find a little place to

427
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: stay in and you'd have to go find him. And

428
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: it was just like, holy sh it, and that's my uncle.

429
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: My mom was like, we gotta find my brother. And um,

430
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, he ended up guinea aids and uh and

431
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: dying on the streets, you know. But we found him

432
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: for a couple of years and we had him back

433
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: and forth and that's when like a lot of that

434
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: stuff happened. Have you ever heard of Sebastian Junger No? Maybe,

435
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: actually the name sounds for me. He was he was

436
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: a journalist and he was with the hundred first and

437
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: the like the worst valley in Afghanistan, right, I mean,

438
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: they got they got, they got in ticks every day.

439
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: By the way, my uncle's whole stomach was blown off,

440
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: like he had like he a grenade flew into his

441
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: platoon and he jumped on it and it was dud,

442
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: but it blew. It still blew up. You know. Well

443
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: that's that's that's protocol. Right. So if you're the closest

444
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: one to the grenade. You jump on it. You have

445
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: to jump on it because you're gonna die anyways. Yeah yeah,

446
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: and if you jump on it, you're at least saving

447
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: his whole stomach. Dude. It was just like, I mean,

448
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: it just looked like he had like, you know, just scars, dude,

449
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,800

Speaker 1: look at him like holy sh it, like you know,

451
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: and then and and they're like, well, what happened? You know,

00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: and he was the first to jump on it and

454
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: he jumped on it, and uh and I guess like

Speaker 1: three people dog piled on him after after it too,

456
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: and it just it went off, but it was a

457
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: dud so it saved him. But I mean, he, you know,

458
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: and then he went back. This guy went back after

459
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: all that, you know, and and went back to les

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: common man because that they found it like the same

461
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: thing World War two, right, guys are sneaking out of

462
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: the hospital beds to go back to the front line.

463
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: These guys were It's different, you m you know, like

464
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: you're just willing to go to certain lengths for your brothers.

465
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: That's the way it is, um. But to get back

466
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: to my point, so Sebastian Younger wrote this book called

467
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: I think It's called Tribe, and basically what he figured

468
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: out is so if they did they did some studies

469
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: in Israel, because everybody serves in Israel, right, the whole everybody, right,

470
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: they have almost they have very little if any PTSD, right,

471
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: and that's because everybody serves, you have people to talk to.

472
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: You have a tribe right right, whereas now and even

473
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, back then it was a higher percentage of

474
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: people that would serve. Now it's less than one. So

475
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: who then am I going to talk to? I mean,

476
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like make me personally, I'm just saying

477
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: like kind of like I'm outside looking in, right, It's

478
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: like who who do you talk to? Right? Who do

479
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: you really talk about your your You can't go to

480
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: your parents and unless they've served, but you can't go

481
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: to your friends. You can't. You know, you asked him

482
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: about outside of the prime example. You're talking about my

483
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: dad earlier. So this is when him and I were,

484
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, trying to trying to work it out. So

485
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: we're having dinner some ship and this is when um,

486
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: but I think it was Maduro. They're talking about going

487
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: into Venezuela, right, my old man. I'm not gonna say

488
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: what what party he aligns with, but he's like, so, Matt,

489
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: when are we gonna go in and take care of Venezuela?

490
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: And I just like, I just remember, fucking I have

491
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: my like fork and knife in my hand. I put

492
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: him down. I was like, are you gonna fucking pick

493
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: up a rifle and crawl around the jungle, old man?

494
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Because that doesn't sound like fucking fun to me. Yeah,

495
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: you realize, like people are gonna die. You want to

496
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: just fucking go into the You just want to invade somewhere?

497
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: Are you fun? Are you retarded? Like? It makes no

498
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: it makes it makes no sense to me. I'm all four, Hey,

499
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: if you want to go in and you want to

500
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: you want to get after it rock and roll, but

501
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: better have a good fucking reason because they're gonna try

502
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: to kill you, just like you're gonna try to kill them. Yeah,

503
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: it's real, we're talking about lives. But that like that distention, right,

504
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: that distance understanding. And he was a Vietnam vet. I

505
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: think he was like a pipe paper pusher, but he

506
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: was a Vietnam Vet and I was I just was

507
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: like four by that. I was like, do you want

508
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: to do you want to die? Like? Do you wanna?

509
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: You know, I've noticed that with several people, but I've

510
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: interviewed on my show that we're Green Berets Army Rangers,

511
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: one guy I think was all three and these guys

512
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: were involved in taking out of Sama. These guys were high,

513
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: high level people that would, similar to Matt, would just

514
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: use their first names and would even out their names.

515
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: But um, I think the biggest frustration that I see

516
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: with the guys coming out in military right now is

517
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: they don't even know what then they're fighting for. And

518
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: if you look at the wars that we've been in

519
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: other than World War Two, it's like we've kind of

520
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: lost them all. And yet it's this go army. You know,

521
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: they got video games and ship and there's commercials and

522
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: we walk away. We don't even know what the funk

523
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: we're doing. Half the time. Meanwhile, they're coming out there,

524
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: they they have PTSD, We're pumping them full of fucking

525
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: pills and ship And that's kind of why we're here

526
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: because it's like the one thing that could probably give

527
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: them some salvation, some fucking peace. It's illegal for them

528
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: to prescribe. Meanwhile, the v A is pumping them full

529
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: of boxes and ship which is a whole other segment

530
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: probably really, But that's what I found with all of

531
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: these guys that I've been interviewing, is they come out,

532
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: they have they still love their country, but they're disenfranchised.

533
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: You're seeing now some of them go back to the

534
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: bases and become terrorists or shooting it up. But I

535
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing that I'm seeing is a

536
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: parallel and in common with a lot of these guys,

537
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: is that they're just coming out. They're just so fucking angry.

538
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I walked away after fourteen years. I literally

539
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: I woke up one day about twelve years in. Right,

540
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: Once you really get past ten years, right, you might

541
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: as well get the retirement, right. I mean, it's a

542
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: bullshit retirement, but it's a retirement rights something. Um, So

543
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: after like ten years, you really you're you're kind of there.

544
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: I did fourteen and said, no, I'm done. When did

545
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: you When do you get retirement? What's that? When do

546
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: you actually get retirement from being there? I don't know,

547
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: but don't mean so you gotta do twenty years, yea.

548
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: And the the response every time, it's like, well, don't

549
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: you just want to do another six years and get

550
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: that retirement? But bro, do you realize, like what you

551
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: can do in six years? And here and here's here's

552
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: the reason why after fourteen I said, fuck it, I'm

553
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: out of here. I went to my buddies retirement ceremony.

554
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: One of my old team leaders, right, I go to

555
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: his retirement ceremony, and there was nobody there. Nobody's like

556
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: this This one guy, I think his wife who didn't

557
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: even look like she liked him at all. His kids

558
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: are like fucking around on their phone and my paths

559
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: and ship. They don't give a fuck. You're just like, like,

560
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: I think the sad part about the training that I

561
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: did in the military and learning how to read people's

562
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: that you see things that most people don't see, right, absolutely,

563
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: you see the truth. And I'm like looking around, I'm like, man,

564
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: these these kids don't give a fuck about their dad.

565
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't wanty years of his life or

566
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: her life, right because women do it too. But I'm like,

567
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: why the funk would I want to do that? Do

568
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: I want to get to the end and then and

569
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: like what happens A lot to They don't talk about this.

570
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 1: A lot of guys get to the end and their

571
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: wife's like, piece, motherfucker, I'm out. I'll take half. You

572
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: don't even really get your retirement. You only get half,

573
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like, like, why, Like,

574
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: and my wife, who I love, I love to death,

575
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: but understandably it's time. She's like, I don't know if

576
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: I can do another six years. And most guys say, well,

577
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, they choose the military is to choose their family.

578
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: Well that makes that also makes no sense. Why are

579
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: you gonna you're wait, that woman gave you children most

580
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: of the time, not always right, but that woman gave

581
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: you the best years of her life and she gave

582
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: you children, and you're gonna say fuck you because guess

583
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: what I've seen it, because it just a week and

584
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: a half ago. I fucking punched out right, been staying.

585
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: There was no ceremony, there was no like banner, there

586
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: was no parade. It's like, thanks for your service, homie,

587
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: have a good one. That's it. You get some paperwork

588
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: and that's the end of it. So why would you like,

589
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: why would you dedicate the most valuable thing you have

590
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: on this planet, which is your time, Because I've had,

591
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: like my best friend died in Somalia, right, So I

592
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: think also from too off from a from a money standpoint.

593
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Maybe the money guy, I always look at it from

594
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: a financial aspect, but you got to you know, that's

595
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: life and you've got a family to feed. Matt's Matt's

596
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna make more money in the next twelve months than

597
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: he did the past fourteen years. Correct, You know, just

598
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: just from a few conversations and connections and business things

599
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: that we can open the doors to him. But another

600
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: interview that I did with a gentleman that's starting a

601
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: great organization if you guys won't reach out to us.

602
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: But these guys would come out after twenty years, maybe

603
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: forty years old. He's been responsible for twenty three million

604
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: dollar missiles on a hundred million dollar airplane, but he

605
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: can't get a fucking job for fifty dollars. They don't

608
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: he came on and he started an organization to where

609
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: he said, look, there's companies like this that want great

610
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: CEO is people to have work at the people that

611
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: are honorable, why not just create it. But it's taking

612
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: the public sector to do that. But the fucking military

613
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: with trillions of dollars is just coming out and like,

614

00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: my club, but I'm not gonna do either. I'm your

632
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: caddy or your my golf partner. Let's do it. Then

633
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: I saw pictures of this work, this resort, man, and

634
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: it looks great, man. Part of how we'll get well. Look,

635
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean listen, it's at the Club Corps and they

636
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: owned probably most of the UH clubs across the country

637
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: as far as golf golf clubs, I mean golf resorts.

638
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: And I was very fortunate I went there. They fed us,

639
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: they took care of us, they drove us around the

640
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: whole golf course, showed us everything, and it's amazing. We're

641
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: actually went out there during the Super Bowl, UM. And

642
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: it's for the NFL players. You know, they have the

643
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: cigars with Stars every year, which we were fortunate enough

644
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: to to be a part of last year. UM. And

645
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: then with that process, we're able to now help the

646
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: veterans in the in the NFL that didn't get their

647
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: retirement UM because of the laws and all that stuff.

648
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: So we raised money for them by golfing and having

649
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: UH these events so that they can all get a

650
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: proper retirement because just kind of like the military or

651
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: the NFL has these crazy rules back in the day,

652
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: which they've started to adjust and fix, but a lot

653
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: of people weren't happy with what has went on with

654
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: the you know, some of these players that that didn't

655
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: get their retirements. So we we now raise money with

656
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 1: them and it's gonna be a great opportunity for us

657
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: to be out there during the Super Bowl having a

658
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: golf tournament which we plan to have televised and also

659
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: is a cannabis consumption event because a lot of these

660
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: athletes again get prescribed with opioids. They get prescribed with

661
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: everything under the sun other than cannabis, and neurological protection

662
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: actually comes from cannabis. A lot of people don't realize

663
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: the indoconnabinoid system allows us to to have lubrication inside

664
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: of our body. And if you don't know what the

665
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: indoconnabinoid system is, imagine a lot of little hairs that

666
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: are inside of your body that are called receptors, and

667
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: when you smoke cannabis or in Jess cannabis or take it,

668
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, it ultimately lubricates those and allows you know

669
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: illnesses not to stick to it or to break down faster.

670
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: So um, you know, the NFL needs to recognize this,

671
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: the military needs to recognize this. There's so many other

672
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: organizations and most importantly, our medical field needs you know,

673
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: they've made it. Um. You know. I always tell this

674
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: story is that our country is the United States, and

675
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: we there's no way they come out and say there's

676
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: medicinal value in cannabis. Had it not have it? Why

677
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: they haven't opened it up is probably because a big

678
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: pharma and the money that's involved in it versus the

679
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: the great of our people. And uh, you know, I

680
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: think that's exactly why we're here today. And I think

681
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: it's it's important you know that we have you know,

682
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: veterans like yourself and and investment groups like Tony that

683
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: are here to to kind of share those uh you know,

684
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: those stories and and and be able to help train

685
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: and teach others out there. And it's been how many

686
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: years since you smoke cannabis? Two thousand five? That's almost

687
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: years years, man, that's like knocking on the door years,

688
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: Chris can I it's something we all ASO need to think.

689
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: But like you guys too, because how many other organizations

690
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: are spreading the truth. You guys are doing it from

691
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: a legal standpoint, from a medical standpoint. Thank you, And

692
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: it's something that's raising awareness. I don't know of any

693
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: other national, much less international brand right now that's making

694
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: the noise that you guys to do. And just from

695
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: the last time that I was here seeing the growth,

696
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys got double tripled the number of employees.

697
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: You're employing people, you're doing construction, you're doing taxes, and

698
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: you're doing it in the socialist Republic of California where

699
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: we're getting raped on taxes. So congratulations to you guys, man,

707
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's he was kind of like

715
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: in my my blood, my family line for a lot

716
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: of years. And um, you know, I'm not the hugest smoke.

717

718
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: I feel I feel comfortable doing it. But I'm not

719
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: one of the guys that just smokes all day and

720
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,759

727
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: your point of view, you know, I think you know,

728
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: when you come out of of of war or you

729
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: come out of the military and and you have you know,

730
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: you're an athlete, you know what I mean. Let's be honest, like,

731
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, you're a veteran. But I mean, but veterans

732
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: are athletes. I mean, they get abused out there, right,

733
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, on the field, and and there's things that

734
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: we don't even acknowledge. We just go, uh and and

735
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: and to us, you know, being you know, just hey,

736

Speaker 1: thank you for your service. That's about as far as

737
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: it goes. You know, we don't know how to to

738
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: to deal with, you know, crawling through bushes, or jumping

739
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: out of free complaints, or or exercising to make sure

740

742
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: you're you're you're fighting not only for your country but

743
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: for your own life. Um, and your brothers that are

744
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: standing next to you. We we we can't understand that,

745
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's it's like saying, you know, uh,

746
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: your your family member, your your best friends, you know,

747
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: your your dad or your you know, let's say, your

748
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: sister or whoever it passes away and you're like, oh,

749
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about your loss, but you really can feel

750
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: that loss unless it happened to you because or or

751
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: each individual person has that different feeling. Um, you know,

752
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how to answer those things, you know.

753
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: And you said it best earlier, like you know, we

754
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: don't have anybody to talk to, you know, And and

755
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: it's it's real because I I didn't resonate with me

756
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: until you said it like that, because in my mind,

757
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, they're veteran. I'd love to talk to

758
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: you about, you know, anything you want to talk to about,

759
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: because I care, but I don't have the knowledge of

760
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: what you've been through to really understand, you know, And

761
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I I again, I can only

762
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: say what I know how to say is thank you

763
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: for your service and and um, you know, I appreciate

764
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: you sharing your stories with us, you know, and can

765
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: you let us know, you know, what kind of protocol

766
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: it is like when you need medicine and how that looks,

767
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, so that you know we can understand, because

768
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: I think I understand, you know, because I hear it

769
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: from so many people, like oh, they give me oxycot,

770
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: and they give me vict and they give me, you know, zanix,

771
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 1: they give me this, they give me that, and there's

772
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: other solutions and and I and I say this to

773
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: to anybody listening, you know, Cannabis isn't a cure all,

774
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's not let's not fake that, right, I'm

775
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and you know it's not a

776
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: cure all. But but I do believe it's a it's

777
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: a uh an additional outlet that's more natural and not

778
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: as habit for me or as addicting for sure, um,

779
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: because there's no addiction to cannabis. It is habit for me.

780
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: And you know, you can get a habit of smoking it.

781
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: But when you get off smoking cannabis, you're not gonna

782
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: sit there and shake and be sick and need opioids

783
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: or something else to keep your body in gear. I mean,

784
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: alcohol is legal. It's way more addictive and terrible for

785
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: your body, right, I mean it can kill you, oh yeah,

786
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean no, it can kill you from getting off alcohol.

787
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: But you're alcoholic and you say I want to quit drinking.

788
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: That's the only drug that you wing yourself definitely off.

789
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: But I mean in the military, even though I didn't

790
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: go to like a fun college, I could probably you know,

791
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: out drink most frat boys. You know, I got better

792
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: than as a hard party and culture. I mean that's

793
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: that's Tony, you see me. Yeah, we hung out. What

794
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: branch were you in? By the way, in the army,

795
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: now I've heard I had my army friends tell me.

796
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: You know, we go to the bars, we see some

797
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: dudes from the Navy's we have a few drinks and

798
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: it gets out of hand, and yeah, it gets a

799
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: little rowdy. But um, look uh as far as like

800
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: dealing with the I don't know, you don't want to

801
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: call it trauma. I hate I hate that word. But

802
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: like the the difficulties of being in the military and

803
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: deployed and all this. You know a lot of guys,

804
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: like they talk about guys committing suicide a lot, right,

805
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: but almost no one's talking about why I heard this

806
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: and this is just my opinion, right, I heard this

807
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: really good speech from is actually from a chaplain, which

808
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: is like a military or military holy man or whatever.

809
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: He's just you know, he's just as he's another green suitor,

810
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: but he's you know, he's either a Catholic chaplain or whatever. Right,

811
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: he's it serves as advice on council. But he talked

812
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: to us one time and he was like, you know,

813
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: you know why there's it's suicide is so common in

814
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: the military and for guys to get out. When they

815
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 1: get out, they have no purpose. Right, So you had

816
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: this mission every day. Every day, you had a reason

817
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: to get out of bed. Now you no longer have that.

818
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: The other thing, too, is fear of death. So they

819
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: figured out that guys that have jumped out of airplanes

820
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 1: and done, you know, some of the more specialized things

821
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, all across you know, marine corps or whatever, right,

822
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: they figured out that they were they're not You're You're

823
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: obviously not afraid to die. So what's you know? It's

824
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: it means basically nothing. If you feel like you're a

825
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: burden to those that you love and that you have

826
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: no purpose on this planet, meet you know, it's tune

827
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: to meet your maker. Man. And I'm not gonna I've

828
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: never gone down that whole, that dark hole very far are,

829
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: but I get it though. But I could see it.

830
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: I could, you know. I've looked at I've looked at

831
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: the dorm and like, yeah, I go down there. But

832
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: the only reason I did it was because of my kids,

833
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: and um, well I can even tell you knowing Matt

834
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: now for a couple of years and we didn't really

835
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: plan on talking about this, but I think even from

836
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: a personal person, seeing who he was a year ago,

837
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: the anger and the kind of frustration that he had,

838
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: and just how long has it been since you actually

839
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: the day that you punched out, it's been a week

840
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: and a half. So about a week and a half

841
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: ago he hit me up and he's like, hey, man,

842
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? Like, you know, he knows

843
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: weed's legal in California, and I said, well, look, he goes,

844
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I want to smoke for the first time.

845
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: And I said, well, if you do it, why don't

846
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: you do it on set with my boys and we'll

847
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: make it really special. He says no, really, So he

848
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: came out from you know, not that state, from another state,

849
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, thank you for kind of doing

850
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: this short term with us. But I thought that would

851
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: be kind of cool for him to Well I got

852
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: the call night, guys, and that's that's why they're patiently

853
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: standing there, you know, and I'm like, well, you know,

854
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: and I heard some of the story and I'm just like,

855
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is good. Um, you know

856
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: again for for those that need to hear this, right,

857
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: there's so many people that listen to our show, and

858
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: they're listening for all different purposes, right, some are looking

859
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: at the medicine that you're going to get. Though. To

860
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: answer your question, very very short, short version is it's

861
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be from pharmaceuticals. R I had I started

862
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: doing in like whim off, cold plunge therapy, red light therapy. Um,

863
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: good for you. You found that, right, but that's not right.

864
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: But I had, I had. I had to do that though,

865
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: right because I was like, if I if I keep

866
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: going down this road, like you said how it was

867
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: a year ago, I'm gonna blow my fucking brains out. Man. Yeah,

868
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, like I know, I'm like, I'm sorry.

869
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 1: I know that's very dark and probably something we want

870
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: to talk about on the show. It's like you just know,

871
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm not in a good place and I

872
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: need to do something right or the one and I

873
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: just wasn't. I wasn't a good husband, I wasn't sure

874
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: as ill, wasn't a good dad, and I just I

875
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: was like, something's got to change, man. And that's why

876
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: that's a lot of the reason why I punched out too,

877
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: because I just didn't like who I was anymore. I

878
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: didn't like myself at all. Who I had become and

879
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: you can't be In my opinion, I could be wrong.

880
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: There are some guys that do this. I don't think

881
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I don't think you can be a

882
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: warrior and a good father and a husband the same time.

883
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: How how if someone can explain that to me, I'll listen,

884
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: because there's guys that do it, but I never figured

885
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, I mean, you're not How do you

886
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: kill somebody and then come home? And how do you

887
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: take a life like it? Kind of somewhat enjoy it

888
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: a little bit because it's not like the people that

889
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: you're often are good people, right, but it's still a

890
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: human being, right, Whether they're good bad, you don't know.

891
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't know, right, You don't even know if

892
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: they're really good or bad. You just you're told they're bad.

893
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: So it's time to go. Yeah, what if it's what

894
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: if it's just someone who's similar. Didn't you know he's

895
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: from a country where there's not a lot of opportunity.

896
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: His dad got blown up by a drone when he

897
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: was six, and now at eighteen, he wants paid back, right,

898
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: and then he's been told his whole life that you know,

899
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: going back from what you're seeing the second segment. I've

900
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: just something that occurred to me. Kids that are going

901
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: to the military at eighteen years old, they weren't around

902
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: for nine eleven. No, they were right. It's it's all generational.

903
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: Why do you think Tricare, which is the military healthcare,

904
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: is they'll let you have as many kids as you want. Man,

905
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: why do you think that is? What do you think

906

908
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: military because he's gonna grow up. He's gonna feel like

909
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: he's got something to prove because I felt like I

910
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: had something. Reason I would in the military is because

911
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: my grandfather was a frogman in World War Two, and

912
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: I felt like I needed to prove myself as a man.

913
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: Therefore I had to go in the military. I never

914
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: thought about that. That's it's a generational thing. Ye skip

1144
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: like it needs to come out right now that we forgot?

1145
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: The only I would say is for guys that are

1146
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: coming out, don't be scared. Always bet on yourself, because

1147
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: if you know, no one else is gonna believe in.

1148
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: You gotta believe in yourself, and if you believe in

1149
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: yourself enough, you can make money doing anything nice. You know,

1150
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: we had the veterans have the best. I mean, look,

1151
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: we're they're equipped for entrepreneurship, right they they can have

1152
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: their back against it. You know, they're used to having

1153
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: their back against wall, operating under pressure, having to act professionally,

1154
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: and all those other things like don't be scared, don't

1155
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: let the military trains those guys to depend on the government.

1156
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: Don't depend on the government. Yeah, that's a great great

1157
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think for me. You know, we talked

1158
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: obviously about a lot of dark ship, which probably doesn't

1159
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: happen on the show a lot. I know, you guys

1160
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: get emotional, but I think people that tuning in today

1161
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: they're like, holy fuck, you know, and and joking about

1162
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: it is one thing, but I think suicide and depression

1163
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: is real. And if anybody's listening, if you're even thinking

1164
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: about that or some of the terminology he has made

1165
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: of triggered you, Uh, there's people out there. You know,

1166
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,360

00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,720
