I started reading Eastern philosophy, um, Eastern religion, you know, alternative psychology.

And our plan was to just meet and hang out and, you know, live life.

I started kind of getting into,

other views besides Western medicine.

And so we spend the week together.

And so by the time I got down there, I was already in a better spiritual place than I had been in a long time already.

It's great.

I...

I wanted to do this thing.

I had this thing planned where I wanted to go with my friend to Coronado.

And that's another thing, man, if anybody's going through it, even if you don't believe in the teachings of meditation, like the Eastern philosophy, the chakras, the different states of consciousness, at the very least, you're taking 10 minutes a day to yourself

I wanted to... Coronado's... Sorry, Coronado's an island off the coast of San Diego.

It's the one that the big bridge goes to.

And that's where Bud's is for the Seals, and that's where Swixpool is for us.

which we just don't get in this world anymore.

And it made me, I'm not gonna say that it fixed me, but it made me exponentially better.

And so that's where I went through, you know, selection to, you know, make it to my community.

I was better after three months of meditation than I had been in the last five years.

And...

After the pre-screenings, we stop at a cardiology clinic in Tijuana and get checked again, get all kinds of heart tests and make sure that we're good to go and that there's not gonna be any health risks.
