You'll get driven to your knees quick. Because I'll be on that spiritual freeway, and then I'll see an exit sign for money. And I'll be like, God, trust me.
Oh, please. Yeah. I was on everything but skates. I was having a good time. Cliché, anyone? Child star for one? No, yeah. I mean, you know, I was just getting after it. But I also, like, obviously, as chronicled in my story, like, I was a really heavyset kid. Like, my first foray into overindulging in things to numb my feelings was...
evident at 10 right at 11 12 i mean clearly i mean obviously there are bigger people who it's either not a thing for them like it doesn't affect them they just have a love of eating and indulging and it's not it doesn't affect them negatively um but for me i think what it revealed was at a young age just allowed me to kind of just kind of numb out and not think about things and then i got in shape but i had the same mind and so then you know what was that like
I mean, it's existence personified, right? It's like anything outside of myself is not going to fill me up. And it's also like if I am not the problem, then there's no solution, right? All I have is power over me, right? So like if it's out of my control and it's making me unhappy, then I need to change the way I think about it. the way in which I look at it.
Because, again, like, there are no new ancient truths. Like, I believe it's just the packaging for where you're born, the culture in which you're raised in, or what your access point is. And I think the gift of hitting a bottom, whether it's spiritually or, like, literally, because you, like, can't drink anymore, you can't use anymore...
is a major gift and i feel bad i don't know how you guys feel like i feel bad for pricks and you know like i feel bad for like you know like there'll be people where they just kind of suck because they're hurting but they're not particularly like they like but they survive and i'm like i don't know if you're gonna hit a bottom i think like i feel bad for those people that
they have these, these, maybe they have deep trauma. Maybe they have things that have perpetuated themselves into these, they present themselves into these like negative habits, these things that, where they lash out at people and it like,
But I just think my whole thing is like, I feel bad because I'm like, you may not ever be in enough pain to really look at this. Because I think pain is a great motivator. And that's my appreciation for hitting a bottom is it drew me into like looking for a better way.
I know that's like a really... Yeah, no, I hear you. It's such a hard thing. Me and my best friend in the world, Happened to both like we grew up together since we were 14 and we both got sober. And I think it's like only allowed for our relationship to, you know, we really speak that language of the heart, you know, with each other.
And and we had a third friend and our third buddy that we grew up with, unfortunately, never did get sober. And he's in as bad of a place as possible for someone like who has an affliction like that.
and we look at it we think about it like why were we the lucky ones and we both had moms who were like the greatest and you know really like did everything to try to uh give us a foundation of love and you know your mom you know your mother's prayers got you in here and our third buddy just didn't have that and i i don't think you can point exactly to any one thing that's a
Shy on your own, buddy. Bro, Shy's so flipping cute. It's starting to switch, Max. Turns out you maxed out. I'm going back to Shy.
are gonna have it what was that one thing that you wish that your father would have implemented in you that you didn't get a chance to um you know don't eat seconds no i'm kidding i just wanted to be fit it's everything it's be you know so much of it is just like being around Right. Like just them knowing you're in the house. Right.
And like the way I treat my wife, you know, that that my actions reflect who I am and not like that. I disrespect their mom, which I like see guys do. And then they're like, I don't know why my son's a piece of shit. I'm like, really? Like the greatest person, like the matriarch in their family, like you're actively disrespecting on a regular basis. Right. So I try to do that. And I was nervous.
Like, I remember my wife and I, we didn't find out what the gender was. Right. And everyone in our family does that. And, you know, I know we're more rare now, but I highly suggest it. It's very fun. Yeah. And so. So did you wait until it like it was presented? Yeah.
Wow. Awesome. It's so fun. I would assume. It's so fun. And, but of course for, you know, almost 10 months, I'm like, I hope we have a girl. Cause like, I'm like George, I'm razzle dazzle.
The baby comes out and I'm like, there's no business. I'm a musical theater kid. I went to performing arts high school. I'm like, I don't know how to raise a boy. Like I'm not great at throwing a football. And of course we have the kid. And, uh, and I'm like, of course it's a boy. Cause this is, to me, it felt like this cosmic thing.
comeuppance right like okay now it's your turn to like raise men and all the the growing up that i had to do on my own but i had amazing models like i have a big brother from the big brother foundation that i've had since i'm eight dan he was the best man at my wedding you still talk today 30 years wow 30 years this year together and he's one of the greatest men ever you know
I'll choke up talking about him. Oh, I love that. Because he just showed up. If you don't mind me asking, how did you meet him? When did he come into your life? My mom got me a big brother from the Big Brother Foundation, the Jewish Big Brothers Foundation. And he, every other Sunday since I was eight years old, picked me up, take me bowling, take me to a Yankee game. Get lunch.
If you don't mind me asking, I've never even heard about this.
