Hey, oh. Little Bo Peep, she needed the money. Oh. Oh. Remember how great that was, man? Oh, yeah. When I first met him, it was like one of those weird things where, you know, I mean, you've met a lot of famous people. Some of them, you meet them, you're like, oh, fucking really? Bummer. It's weird.
Oh, there's bummer, too. Yeah, the bummer ones, that sucks.
When you meet someone, they suck. You're like, oh, no, you suck. I know, exactly. Some people just not talk. They should only do what they do, act and sing. But then you get to know them. I don't know. I'm pretty good at this now where you don't. You see people that you looked up to. Like Eddie Vedder, I had a pretty close relationship with Eddie Vedder. Oh, really? Yeah, but I was drinking and then I would grab his balls and do shit like that. And then it was like, I don't want him around. I don't want Josh around. Yeah. I don't like that anymore. I don't want my, you know, and I think Sean Penn appreciated shit like that. Like, wow, somebody has the balls. It's not even a little chaos. It's like somebody has the balls to like call me on my shit. Like not everybody's afraid of me.
Oh, right. Yeah, he's probably used to people constantly being afraid of him. Yeah, like, oh, I can't fuck with him. Right. Well, he does wild shit. Like, when he went down to fucking Mexico and met with El Chapo, like, Jesus Christ, dude. That's a fucking wild, reckless thing to do. And I do think that that's organic, but I think that that's also, you just have that thing where you just go, you know what? Shit's getting boring. Right. The weather's just too fucking nice here. Weather's too nice. I'm too famous. Let's go meet a monster. Yeah. Let's go fuck some shit up. Let's do something big. Let's do something really reckless. Let's do something that's going to resonate for at least a year. Yeah. That whole El Chapo thing was so crazy, though, because that kind of is one of the things that got him caught.
It was, right? Yeah, because they track your cell phone data. They know where you go. And if you're bringing your fucking cell phone, you're basically bringing a tracking device to go find one of the most notorious gangsters alive today. I mean, who was the guy with the football team back in the day? Pablo Escobar? Think about it. It's our days. This time it's Pablo Escobar. Yeah. And Sean Penn. Colton hangs out with him. Spicoli. Spicoli. Because, you know what, man? Hey, who wants to come with me and find this motherfucker? Did he go solo? I think so. I think he went solo. Well, he knew that lady who was like a reporter. You know, there was like this really hot Mexican reporter. Oh, yeah, the Mexican girl. Yeah.
How does fame affect personal relationships?
Yeah, he knew her. Was he dating her? I don't know. But I think she had a thing with El Chapo. After that? No. Did Sean introduce them properly? I don't know. I think he knew her and she knew him. She knew El Chapo. Oh, right.
I love you.
Yeah. I really enjoyed you in colors. And then next thing you know. What's the most dangerous thing that you do now? What do you think? Dangerous? Yeah. Like we're talking about Sean going out on a limb. Do you find it necessary to go out and do things that like challenge you in a way? Yes. Challenge your psyche? Yes. In what way? Elk hunting is probably the most exciting. What is? Elk hunting. Elk hunting. Why? Because it puts you in danger? Well, no. It's just really difficult. You know, you're bow hunting in the mountains. Right. And it's just you in the mountains and just fucking mountain lions. Do you stay up there for days and days and days? Yeah. And do you quarter your kill? Oh, yeah. We pack it out. Yeah. Yeah.
See, that's a different thing. People say, I don't like hunting. Personally, I grew up in a very red part of California. Everybody hunts that I grew up with. And I would shoot, and I would hunt with my dad, and I would fucking think about it and dream about it for three weeks.
