I kind of do. No, but I'm saying she's saying that in her mind when she looks at me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're old now. We're the next generation, motherfucker.
Yeah.
I'm not afraid of many people in this lifetime, but my kids, definitely. My 31-year-old daughter who's on tour, she just got off tour, music. She was headlining all over the country. And she's one girl who I'm absolutely, utterly in love with. but who scares the shit out of me. She's the, yeah. She's the first person in this life that actually scared me.
For sure.
For sure. In the best way though, you know, my mom was spinning, man. And my mom, what I don't write about in the book too, they go, God, your mom sounds horrible. No, no, no.
Okay, I'm glad.
Yeah. There was a moment toward the end of her life and I found like, was it in an Al-Anon book? And I still have it. And it had her name in the front that she wrote, hand wrote. And I know that there was a thing at the end she had thought of. What's that show on right now? Chimps or something like that? Chimp Crazy. Chimp Crazy.
And she had thought of a show 30 years ago about like a sitcom of chimps and people and doing it like animatronically or something like that. because she was into the wildlife thing. And somebody took her seriously and said, I want you to develop that show. And she wasn't in the business or anything. It was just somebody that she knew and said, I want you to develop that show in a serious way.
And I remember my mother crying. And I said, what's the matter? And she said, I've never been taken seriously in my life. So she was a freak show. And then you start living up to that freak show. And then interestingly, there's a guy, I remember who it was. There was a guy who said, hey, my friend's coming. He was Canadian. And he said, my friend's coming into town. Do you want to go out?
And I said, sure. And I went out and I had done something a couple of days before. So I like stopped drinking for a few days and we went out and he said, what can I get you? And I said, water's fine. And he goes, what do you mean? And I go, I just take a water. I'm not drinking tonight. And he goes, I brought my friend down from Canada. You know, I told her about you. And I go, what do you mean?
And he said, you know, it's like you're going to have a night. I told her that you're crazy. And I was like, oh, I'm like your fucking clown, man. I'm like your thing. I'm like you pay the $2, I have the two heads, or I have the thing, and you're going to experience a Brolin moment, a Brolin night. He's going to go to jail, and you're going to go home and go, how crazy is that guy, right?
And then you're going to go on with your life. That was when I started to go, uh-oh. You know, because my mom lived a life of that. And I saw right at the end when she was taken seriously at 55 and I'm 56. And strangely enough, this book was never intended to be this book. This book happened organically. I just started writing.
I'd look at my journals and I'd go, oh, that's, I remember that moment. And I start writing about it and poorly. And then this thing formulated into this, all these stories about my mom. And you go, maybe that's, and it happened at 55. What a strange thing.
You said I'm a great, very great writer, which grammatically is so fucked up. It's the worst writing possible.
Nein, du hast es in deiner Hand. Ich habe es in meiner Hand. So this is the story that I was going to tell you. I was in the Middle East and I was working. And I started to run out. And somebody had given me 110. It's a true panic.
Besonders jetzt, wo Leute sagen, wie Laird Hamilton. Und das ist wahr. Sie sagten, wenn du 1-3 Milligramm pro Tag machst, ist es eigentlich gut für dich. Was ist mit 20? Was ist mit 90? Was ist mit fucking 90, Alter? Also bin ich im Mittleren Osten und starte raus. Und da kommt ein Hungarianer, der zu mir kommt. Und wir sind in Budapest oder in Jordan. Nein, wir sind in Jordan.
Und er kommt zu mir und sagt, ich habe einige. Und es hat einen Skull und Krossböden am Top. Ich weiß nicht, was es ist. Und es sind 40 Milligramm Packungen. Und ich sagte, ich kann das nicht machen. Ich kann das nicht machen. Und dann habe ich einen Tag angefangen, rauszukommen. Und ich habe nicht ganz rausgekommen. Ich habe wahrscheinlich vier oder fünf mehr Tins übrig.
Und ich habe sein Ding in meinem Koffer. Und ich bin in den Gym gegangen. Und ich gehe zurück aus dem Gym. Und ich sage, fuck, Mann, ich kann das nicht. Ich muss meinen Koffer behalten. Also werde ich den Fentanyl benutzen und die Heroin retten. Richtig. Richtig. And then I stick the thing in my mouth for no more, and I swear to God on my kids, for no more than 20 seconds.
And I had to cancel dinner that night. I literally was shitting my brains out. It was fucking crazy. So, now I'm in Abu Dhabi. Now we've run out. I got at Black Market. There was a guy that we found, a really pumped up Schwarzenegger type, but he was Middle Eastern. And he showed up and it cost me 300 bucks to get How many? I don't know, like six tens or something.
No, just for the week to make sure I had it. I know. I have them all over the house. By the way, my wife and I used to do this. Oh, oh, you know, remember the mini, the mini, oh fuck, lozenges? Oh yeah, mini lozenges. They were kind of curved. It looked like a penis with a... Mit Peronis-Krankheit. Es hatte eine Kurve. Es war nicht die rechte. Es war nicht Nicorette. Oh ja, die Kurve-Bottle.
