I want them to get colder now I've gotten used to them and it feels in the
wintertime it's nice
when we used to pre-record Comptown and we would be we'd go to the Berkshires I'll
miss those days
this was a nice cabin week yeah we'd sit in the Berkshires and be frigid and
you know like an
old cabin with like frozen pipes and just just doing blow all night till like 4
a.m. sleeping
for two hours and then getting up and hitting an ice-cold fucking shower yeah
jumping rope for an
hour you would jump rope for an hour after coke with your little mouse heart
yeah oh yeah I think
that's that's really what did the damage all these girls were doing coke with
not I wasn't doing it
but they were doing it and women do this thing where they like they lock you
into a conversation
and first they do they're like come come into the bathroom come into the
bathroom come in the bathroom
and you have to go in there and then they talk to you in a way that you can't
stop them you can't
stop what they're saying and you can never get out of the conversation and it's
like a it's like if a
snake was going into your mouth coming out your ass and going back into your
mouth and you can't get the
end of it forever and ever that's how it feels yeah no I'm glad I don't with
men it'd be fun
I'm glad I don't do drugs anymore I know the feeling of the person when you
finally get sober
and you think about all the time that you were having fun yeah you're like this
that's just
suck I'm just like sad I feel bad for myself and my friends totally yeah the 10
a.m the looking and
realizing it's 10 a.m yeah I mean I only once or twice let it get that bad in
the because I mean
I really didn't do drugs outside of like the second year of COVID and that's
because it was just like
it was everywhere here yeah bars were still closed and it was just yeah you'd
go to so there'd be 15
people in a studio apartment and so much so many drugs on COVID I had to drive
my friend just near
the ambulance just because he was freaking out and I was like if COVID wasn't
going on we would just go
to a place where loud music would play and you'd feel fine but us just sitting
here looking into our
up pupils is like obviously giving you a panic attack I don't know why coke was
so big I did it too
during COVID yeah that's when I quit just everywhere I don't know who did that
but yeah no I had a year
2021 I guess but yeah that year it got I would not you know it wasn't like I
was smoking crack or
anything but more than more than twice a week I think is a problem yeah yeah I
was doing it I was
getting really into bowling I was doing coke and then I'd go bowling for hours
that's weird yeah I know
and I would I would be so good at bowling on coke and then the second the
second I wasn't on coke I
would suck immediately so I was like it was the most because everybody else
would be drinking and
partying and I was like I don't drink but I do coke all night and that was the
thing yeah well that was
my problem that's why you know I couldn't drink either it's like I mean I also
can't it's the same
I just have a problem with consumption yeah yeah like I can't I will do it with
literally like any
I'll do it with baker's chocolate yeah yeah yeah yeah fucking something that's
disgusting and I'm like
blah blah blah blah yeah you know um so yeah I mean I could just sit there and
just keep doing drugs
uh I get the dips between the bumps I would be I would fall into a pit of
despair and need to
I'll call people and be like we need to get as many bags here as possible
because the idea of coming
down ever is a nightmare some people don't have that have that bad no I would
get to the end of that
and be like okay I'm done that's amazing yeah I would be like I'll have to kill
myself if yeah
no that's all depressing but whatever life goes on you know I got my yoga now
and I
and people our age are doing it all the time but we're not pretty good yeah
yeah I don't know it's
just depressing because it's like I try to take care of myself I've tried to
take care of myself for
a long time and I've like had periods where like you know I'd stop drinking and
like you know get into
exercise and clean up my diet and I feel better and like I'm mentally like you
know doing better
because I have some kind of like structure and it's like wow I'll just hold on
to this this feels
good I guess the depressing thing is I think about that and knowing these like
cycles it's like well
what's good you know what's funny when I first met Ian I hadn't drank for 18
months or something
like that and we met at stand up what was the one that was in Long Island City
that was like the
other standing room oh yeah yeah we met at the standing room or maybe we met a
couple times the
first time I like hung with Ian and um yeah I was like yeah I don't drink I've
been sober for x amount
of time he was like he's like oh yeah that's really good he's like I'm sober
again recently too and I was
like oh like again like you quit he's like yeah and he told me that sort of
where he fell off the wagon
at the airport and was drinking hand sanitizer and then went to a club trying
to buy crack
and um bug crack yeah and I was like how long were you sober and he was like um
about 18 months
and like it just shocked me because I had felt like at that time having 18
months I was like
oh I'm free I'm like no I don't have to worry about this anymore but then I was
like shocked last
year I didn't drink for nine years oh really and then I started drinking again
and luckily it like
ended before anything really bad happened it was just I got drunk three nights
in a row and
I had like a two-day hangover and what was the catalyst for drinking again uh
yeah like a lot of things yeah yeah I remember I was around for it but it is
weird how it just works
how it's like you can just slip it back in slowly and people just adjust around
you you know what I
mean what drinking again well it just feels like if I started drinking again it
feels like every day
in my life would be like my god Jordan are you already you know what I mean and
they would take
me into a psych ward but it's not true like my buddies all the time like do you
want oh sorry I
forgot I'm like wow I could just yeah drink again did you start drinking did
you quit drinking recently
or what I quit drinking I haven't drank the whole time when you were out of it
and back into it so it's been
like a maybe almost two years since I got into the cellar because I had quit
drinking and I got into
the cellar and I like had a glass of wine to be like and I didn't like it so I
just stopped forever
well I said I was like sober for nine years but I was doing drugs that entire
time yes just not
frequently yeah initially not frequently because I was you know it's funny it
was Adam because when
me and him hung a lot in DC but then we came up here um I would hang out with
him a lot more
because he was like you know one of my only friends and um uh yeah I was never
like a coke
guy prior to that I didn't know any coke guys and then Adam was always like
where's the bag dude let's
get my house you should call a guy he would be wet man wet man with dry bag
yeah he's like let's
get you should we call the guy you know yeah and uh and then yeah and then it
would be like I remember
thinking like if you did coke more than I might think if you did it more than
once in a three-month
period you had a problem yeah that was like my thinking yeah and then it
becomes more than three
times a week yeah right yeah yeah yeah I know I remember telling my mom I
remember slipping it out
and being like I have a coke problem yeah she was like oh really and I was like
yeah it was like
a six-year thing you know you like it's crazy yeah because it was like the only
thing that I would
do I mean six years in terms of like how long it took to build up until it was
more than just you know
once or twice a year also it's like an oval teen for relationships like if you're
dating somebody
and you both are doing coke together you just like love bond over being so up
and then
anytime you're not on coke you're like I think I hate this person so you just
do coke again yeah
that's dangerous I I've never been in one of those situations where things have
been
like just drug based yes I've done it once and it stayed in there for a while
and then when I quit
he was like you never we never do anything together like bowl and I'm like yeah
I think I hate bowling
yeah I think I was just on drugs and didn't want to talk to anybody yeah yeah
yeah this isn't like
damn I wish we hadn't uh switched to this topic but whatever I gotta I got a
new lease on life now
I've been actually sober for
four months that's great yeah
