And I was like, you know, and I heard a voice in my head that I can only assume is just, you know, a spiritual awakening God saying like, what are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you here surrounded by these people? Like looking around, I'm just like, I have so much more to offer the world than what I'm, you know, I mean, I'm just a derelict and I don't have to be.
I have people who love me. I have people who would, you know, would die for me. You know, my family is, you know, You know, are so loyal and they love me so much. They just want me to stop being a piece of piece of garbage. And and I just that day I was like, I am done with this stuff. It's not fun anymore. Like and. and I, and I wanted to better myself.
That was, so, you know, I think that was God instilling the motivation. So yeah, I mean, yeah, I got sober at a crack. It's kind of funny, you know, tried 50 different rehab centers, but ended up, you know, getting sober at a crack house. Um, but I think that that's, yeah, it was, you were smoking weed in the halfway house. Yeah. He didn't care about, yeah.
And yeah, you could smoke anything you wanted in there pretty much. Um, And, yeah, I was just like that day I knew I was never going to touch an opiate again. And I know people say like you have to wake up and make a decision every day that you're not going to use. But it's like I don't even – it doesn't even like register in my mind like –
like to fit to say it like oh i'm not going to use heroin today because like you know what i mean you know what i'm saying i do know what you're saying actually yeah it's like because it's like i look back and i'm like that's i i'm a different person i'm truly a different person i i've like evolved it's like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly or you know whatever analogy you want to use but um just and looking back and thinking how could i have possibly done all this
And yeah, I mean, Christ plays a huge role and I think it's really important. And even for people who are excuse me, you know, maybe atheistic or whatever, but just believing in something greater than yourself that can – that, you know, you can strive to be better and strive to, you know, just whatever, set goals for yourself and achieve them.
And by doing that, you are – you know, I think that's how people – can find a way out of addiction and then you grasp onto something, find things that you really enjoy. So like what – I was like, okay, what do I enjoy? Like I love movies. I'm a huge movie fanatic and I'm really interested in politics and journalism.
Yeah, Goldwater, yeah. And... So, yeah, politics kind of is in my DNA, I would say. And I remember watching Fox in the lead up to the presidential election. It was like the perfect time to be – get interested in politics, right? You've got Trump and Hillary Clinton. And then I remember seeing you and I was like – and I'm not just saying this because I'm on your podcast.
This is genuinely the truth. Wow. I saw you on your show, and I was like, I love the way this guy does the news. It's different. It's unique. It's funny. It's like, I want to do something like that.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't I didn't know all that about you. No, I was just like I was just like, wow, this guy is like so much different than the other voices on Fox. You know, I mean, not to you know, I mean, you know, you just bring such a unique perspective. You're willing to, you know, go against, you know, you quote unquote the party.
and call out the, you know, the rhinos, the neocons, all that stuff. And I was just like, he's he's awesome. Like, this is great.
Yeah, no, the desire for it. Like, yeah, and that's what Mexico says. It's like, if you people didn't want it so badly, maybe, you know, it's very true.
Yeah, and my dad literally one time he went into the office and he grabbed the guy by his, like, threw him up against the wall. He's like, you're poisoning my fucking wife. Good for your dad.
Yeah, married for 40 plus years. That's incredible. Yeah, they're in love. I mean, they're a true, genuine love story.
And the reason, just really quickly, the reason my dad fell in love with my mom, like at first sight was because he said she was the only woman in New York he saw that was wearing a crucifix like he, that he'd seen in New York. So he's like, he's like, yeah, she's the one. They sound like great people.
Yeah, like from like a government perspective.
Yeah, I mean I think that one thing we should not be doing is what California is doing and trying to do set up like little basically port-a-potties for addicts to go in and use and – Like little centers with clean needles and all that stuff.
Uh, like, and, and like, it's not like a, you know, cause there's a lot of functional alcoholics and functional, you know, uh, people who, you know, are on like, you know, Valium or whatever, you know, kind of pill, pill poppers that, that, you know, you would never know. But, um, yeah, heroin, I just, I've never seen anyone who doesn't, it doesn't become a lifestyle.
It's not, it's not like a, a side thing, you know, or hobby or whatever. It is your life. It is all-consuming.
Yeah, meth, like, inside and out, too. Heroin doesn't quite, like, do the damage to your, like, your complexion. Yeah, outwardly, but, like, inwardly, I think it's worse. But meth is, yeah, absolutely terrible. Were you around a lot of meth people? Oh, yeah. So, in Northern California, because we moved to Northern California after...
