Yeah.
So you're busting the suds for a while. Yeah. How did you get into the...
That's cool.
Yeah, what was your, do you have any, like, when you went to any treatment centers, did you have ones that you felt like, because you hear some people, like, I placed a fucking scam, they're just fucking taking my money. Like, did you have any places you thought were just, like, churning people in and out, or do you think that's just people's, like, perception of the place?
Yeah, true.
Yeah, finally they fucking gave me a happy ending with a massage and they played my favorite song. That might turn me around.
You're right. That's not the deal. Yeah, true. I wish. There is a very unsexy element to it where you're saying like, yeah, you can be in like a place that people think sucks really badly. Straight up. It really is a wholly internal thing.
Yeah, yeah. Straight up. What do you think about the California sobriety people do where it's like, I'm California sober. I'll drink and smoke weed and shit.
yeah that makes sense so it's kind of a personal yeah timeline for everybody for sure and yeah it's like and I'm not saying that my way is the right way it's just my fucking way yeah because I know that's a big battle when I was in social work school there's like people who are like it's called like harm reduction versus people who are like
Yeah, yeah. And that's where I'd probably be. Yeah, well, it is funny. People, I've talked about this before, but it is funny how that is like... The God talk's taboo now. Totally. Before it was like you couldn't talk about sex. Now you can be like, I'm fucking jizzing. Everyone's like, ah. But if you're like... Yeah, they had the whole B2 movement at that point. True. Yeah.
But if you mentioned God, people were like, what the fuck?
And it's like a pretty wholesome, you know, I think it's a very wholesome concept. But it got tainted by, I think, people just being like... Like the religion aspect of being like, you're going to hell because you fucking came. For sure.
Yeah.
Yeah. And I wonder if that's, if it's going to like, cause every, even like religions, like concepts of God, like go through waves where it's like, we used to think it was like fucking fire. And now we are like, there was like the mythological hero of like, there's these entities in the sky that we can like, you know, be like, Hey, please help us. That'll like change everything.
And then like that, like around like an organized, like Testament of like, you know, this is, this is the guy who came down from heaven and I'm Nita. So now I wonder if it is going to regroup in like some different conception that people universally buy into over. It'll just be like a fractured thing forever. Yeah.
No, that's true. So, and then, you know, I'm curious too. So you were doing the, the Viva of the Bam stuff and all that stuff fell out. Like what, so what happened with all of like all the people from Jackass, you guys all, you guys all still talk or like where, where did like, it was like a big falling out or like what happened?
Yeah, it is funny, especially if you think about the origins of, like, Jackass was, like, the possibly unhealthiest, most insane way of living possible. And it was so fucking fun to watch. It was awesome. But it is funny to come full circle and be like, no, we've all actually chilled out immensely.
Yeah, it's pretty cool, man. And it's also one of those things like, you know, sobriety, again, if you're just kind of kicking around, you're going out to get drinks every Sunday, you don't necessarily have, you know, like, let's say like a problem quote.
It is one of those things that I think when you're, you know, drinking a lot or, like, partying, it's, like, it almost seems alien.
But it, like, if you really, like, strip it down from, like, you know, take substances out of it, I always thought it's a really, like, it's cool for a person to be able to remain with their thoughts in their own state of consciousness rather than, you know, you constantly escape it. Totally. And you're constantly jumping out, jumping out, jumping out.
