And we had a certain relationship where I was in my craziest phase. And he brought somebody from Canada and flew her down and said, hey, I'm going to take you out with Josh. And you'll see. Buckle up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for some reason, I wasn't drinking at that moment. I had a day, maybe three days before. And I was like, OK, I'm going to stay off this sauce for a while.
And we went to one of the few times I've been there to the Viper Room. And he said, what do you have to drink? And I go, I'm just going to have water. And he goes, what do you mean? And I go, I'm not going to drink tonight. And he said, dude, I brought my friend down from Canada. It's time for the Josh. And I was like, holy shit, I'm your clown.
I'm the jester. And I think that's what my mom was. And it was only toward the end of her life that she started to come to terms. She had thought of a really great story for a series. And she wasn't involved in Hollywood at all, but it had to do with chimps and people. And ironically, the series is out now called Chimps. I called you the first skull. Literally.
And she had thought of that story and somebody said, I love that idea. Let's develop it. And I remember my mom in the kitchen really profusely crying, which she never did. And I said, what's up? And she said, I've never been taken seriously in my life.
So you have the bleed over of that, which is me, some masculine form of that, who's doing that same song and dance, who realizes on his own terms, luckily younger and says, you know what? I don't want to be this jester all the time. I don't want to be the one that people are happy to escape, but they're happy that exists because they're living life, some version of chaos through
No. And I don't think so. I've gotten the same thing from, I understood people who are obese and you go, hey, we can do this or we can do gastro surgery. We can do this. We do that. And they go, no. And there's this reticence to work out and all this. And then I got it because I paralleled it with the drinking. Oh, without your extra weight, you don't exist.
It's the thing that people are always talking about. At least it's something.
Maybe you're invisible. And I always felt that about drinking. Whereas I'd go out and it was like, you know what you did last night? I go, no, tell me. And they go. You were nuts. It was so much fun. But then you did this thing and we climbed this building and then you jumped and you thought you had a parachute on, but you didn't. And I lived off that for years. Yeah.
That's exactly right.
You're just another person. That's it. And can you find something? It's just terrifying. You get to that place eventually where you can say, I'm okay just with what I have around me, my family, the few friends. I don't have to charm everybody. Not everybody has to like me. It's okay. I'm going to go write a fucking book.
Something happened to her. I used to talk to her about it because my mom was in Camarillo State Hospital. She wasn't there for very long, but her sister was in and out of Bellevue for 30 years. Severely alcoholic, really crazy. And I got to know her sister later. But I would ask her and she said, my parents were amazing. She was down in Texas, Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi, Texas.
And she said, I'd sneak out my window and my parents would come back. They'd be so worried about me. I would yell at them for waiting up for me. She said, I was the chaos. And she very readily admitted that. Do I believe it? A thousand percent? Right. Maybe not.
Yeah, I'm so glad.
Yeah.
10%.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Oh, there's bummer, too. Yeah, the bummer ones, that sucks.
I love you.
No.
The list.
