me and the man underneath the bridge is one thing it's the bridge um but we are all addicts and that's what i love when i speak and engage where i see everyone's head doing this because they can relate right okay and once again it's a person place thing or a thought that has become my source and for me personally i had to reach for the invisible uh to fix my visible problems
All right, guys, got a crazy story for you guys today. We got Michael Molthon here that made the drive all the way from Dallas. Thanks for coming on, man. Man, I appreciate you. What an honor. Yeah. So good to meet you. And I love what you do. I love what you do. I saw you on Steve-O and I was like, who is this guy now?
That was a good show. Yeah. So first of all, how did you get on our show? Cause that's crazy. Well, we, you know, M to the rock is our, our platform and our show, you know, just like yours where we have, um, you know, inspiring stories from, you know, inspiring people. And he was on his bucket list tour and, uh, the PR team that was, uh,
you know, running into the rock at the time, just took a stab and reached out to him to see if he'd be a guest on the show. And he literally flew a red eye in and came in and he was real quiet, kind of reserved. And I came in, it was cold at the time, I had a jacket on and he was kind of sizing me up, you know?
And then once I took my jacket off, I saw the tats and, you know, and we started the show, he was kind of reserved, but then there was a connection that we could relate to each other as far as drug addiction, alcoholism and party and all that stuff. And it popped. I mean, we couldn't even go to commercial breaks. I mean, he just would not stop talking. He was, but he's such a good dude.
Very passionate about his recovery. He was introverted because when you think of Steve-O, you think of just huge extrovert.
Yes. Yeah. And I'm that way too. Introvert, you know, off the screen, I'm pretty quiet. Um, but yeah, he's, he is a good dude. I highly endorse him. Yeah. You struggled with addiction early on, right? I did. I did. You know, I, um, you know, My story is no different than any other drug addict, alcoholic. I drank, I did drugs, I fell down. I said I was never going to do it again. I meant it.
And I did it again. I didn't know why I was doing it. But, you know, I've learned today that, you know, we're taking our focus off the word addiction and, you know, addressing why the addiction. And we've even broadened it, you know, further. And when I speak and tour, you know, Everyone's an addict. Everyone is an addict. And so what is addiction? You know, addiction is a person. It's a place.
It's a thing. And a scary one, Sean, or a thought that has become my source. There's a stigma to drug addiction and alcoholism. because the consequences are so severe. Thank God for me. And we're radical, but it frustrates a lot of people who are drug addicts and alcoholics. And the reason why it has a stigma is they get frustrated because they actually see their behaviors too.
