It's I knew I was doing these videos, so I put it on to help him. That's awesome. It's just funny, you know.
Yeah, you're a YouTuber now.
Yes, how crazy is that? Whatever a YouTuber is, I keep waiting to be canceled because of shit I say.

You've been doing some great stuff on YouTube. I think that your perspective, especially during that era, the attitude era, is like really interesting.
Thank you. And I'm glad p like I didn't see any value in it at all. And Maven convinced me to try it. Because I go f I haven't been on TV in twenty years. So who gives a shit what I have to say? You know, and he kept telling me, No, no, you know. And uh so I checked tried it out, you know, and it's easy for me. So Yeah, Maven's been crushing it.

Uh Chase, uh the guy who you know who does all the editing and stuff and he knows Stevie and maybe so they know their stuff and I just been going by them. Yeah. And Chase told me, he goes, it's probably gonna take you know quite a few months before we get any traction. Three days we are monetized. Wow. And like uh when I'm not making money by the truckloads, but it only took three days, you know. And the the every time I booked, there's more Like I'm really I don't know how to explain it, you know. I don't know what the hell is going on, really, you know.
What have you been doing for work up to this point?
I I am on disability. I uh what do you so and that's how I will survive. Now this you I'm off of it this month because I'm making money on this. But that's how I survived. Uh, you know, with because I knew I couldn't work, you know. I got uh this hand is dead, I can't do anything with it. I have CTE. So if I get overworked, then I'm gonna get confused. And uh I handle stress and stuff like that aggressively. And last thing you want is a confused aggressive parry walking around. So you know I Yeah, I just deal with all all that. I just have both my hips replaced, one and uh The beginning of October and one in the middle of November. And I was in a wheelchair for like a year before. Yeah, I feel
like when I saw you about a year ago, you weren't moving as well as
bad. And uh just because we all destroy our bodies and uh I just put it up kept putting it off for whatever reason, you know. Yeah. Should have done it a long time ago. I've had both my shoulders replaced and they're really hard to do. Hips were real easy. Are you in pain as you sit here? No, I'm good now, you know, and but I'm a drug addict. So I was concerned about like taking pain medicine. So there's no way you can have a surgery without doing it, you know. both my shoulders when I got them done, it was really hard to stop taking the pain medicine, you know, again. This time I did I told myself I was only gonna take them for a week and that's all I did. And I and uh like the doctor said, I kept telling me, you can take 'em longer and I said, No, that's it.
