Yeah yeah yeah yeah. You know it kind of fits in with your vibe too. You're
like I can't yeah should Tommy Lee be able to hear at this point.

people probably you know. Dude that's hilarious. But yeah my shit's just like I
don't know what's going but then I'm like yeah do I go get this shit fixed or
am I just like this is the part of my life where one of my ears is gone you

What what happened did you I don't know something blow up or just like lots of
loud music or no I think just uh I don't know could have just been listening to
some chicks bullshit I don't even know what happened to me you know or just
yeah I don't know it's just me and I just haven't got had time it's all good
man it just is what it is dude that's cool yeah I think it's been it made some
of my dreams kind of weird I keep having this do you ever have any like
recurring dreams no it's the
fucking weirdest thing I don't really dream a lot yeah my wife dreams all the
time every more every morning she's like oh my god I had the craziest dream and
then she's she's like you don't dream I'm like I you lived one I just I'm
living it maybe if you get to live a dream it's like god's like hey we're not

the year 2000 we were supposed to have fucking where where's my where's my
fucking my machine

yeah you think at this
point we'd be able to email people to each other or something or like you know
email people yeah
or I think like send it yeah yeah just
like a door dash shows up and you're like oh you're two houses off and you just
forward them
that'd be crazy bro that'd be pretty great actually that would be but sometimes
I wonder like if they
had that travel where you could like like uh warp or whatever you know like you
could just go in a
machine and then it sent you know you you you next year you know you're in Cedar
Rapids or something
was like I wonder like would you get like would some people show up in their
fucking arms or like
it's like you know there's like a glitch or whatever something failed in the
transmission
like you have a show like that night in Des Moines and they like fuck no arms
yeah you're like fuck dude
send me back yeah try this again yeah and yeah that would be the crazy part
because sometimes you would just have to go do
like if it's during Christmas and the holidays are so busy and like oh you got
the wrong arms
and they like mix you up or whatever you show up with like some big fucking BLM
arms or whatever
you're like oh shit dude you know I don't know what I don't even know what I'm

though but it was loving you know like you know Rob but it was just yeah it was
just so crazy
like we used to get all the rocker magazines and like um they'd always have
like you know

vague but somebody'd be
kind of bleeding or something you know remember those magazines dude yeah uh

last stadium tour
but the summer is now just uh some festivals kind of assorted here and there
which are kind of fun man
yeah it's it's it's different to um I'll explain it these they're kind of like
you probably are familiar
with this kind of like one-off stuff because you're doing comedy you like fly
and do show come back you
know um where on a tour you get on a bus and you you know come home for a year
and a half yeah um um so
these weekend ones are fun we just did one this uh this the last weekend and
literally
left from Van Nuys went to uh Minot played the show and was back 24 hours later
and it was just like
this is kind of cool too yeah it's weird to kind of start up and stop like that
yeah but it is cool
because you're in and out yeah it's weird it's like there's times when it's
like I'll be out on the road
and I'm like god I want to be home but then but then I'll be home and I'm like
I want to be out on
the road and then sometimes it gets to a point where it's like I don't even
know if I want to
be home anymore dude that's the exact the grass is always greener if you're out
on the road you're
like fuck man I'd kill to sleep in my own bed and then when you're at home you're
like
fuck I want to get back out yeah you're like my own bed is my wife happy you're
like I gotta get out of
here yeah oh yeah it's it's definitely uh you find it hard to to to relax do
you like to just keep keep
it yeah I want to keep going yeah I get that vibe from you like I want to keep
going because I think
you start to do some things you're like oh well what else could I do you know
and I don't think
you know that until you do some so till some little opportunities come you're
like oh wow this is
possible like well what else could I do what else am I capable of am I using my
skills to the best you
know right um trying to be better man yeah trying to be better always again
what keeps you uh how do
you like relax these days like what kind of calms you out dude about like seven
or eight years ago I got
into Banzai man and that's like that's been like like a lifesaver you know it
started out as just a
fascination from all the times going to Japan I'd always go to the Japanese
gardens and be like fuck this is
this is the most peaceful beautiful shit I've ever seen in my life how do I
give me some yeah how do
I give me a couple grams of that right it's kind of like nature by the gram it
is it is and I just
started fucking watching youtube videos on on the art of it and and the
practice of it and how to do it and I
I just I just went down a rabbit hole and I found it to be the most relaxing
fulfilling you know get me
close to nature shit to like just even me out because I'm I'm like you too I'm
pretty fucking
hyper I don't really like to sit still much but that was like I found my I
found my thing man oh wow this is
it yeah I thought they were way smaller than that that's you there's yeah in
the white shirt
yeah oh my god dude I thought that was a lesbian no offense dude I know a
lesbian but yeah I thought
I was like holy sorry bro I was like looking for you oh that's awesome and this
one came with real
this isn't this is in Nashville uh right outside of Nashville that's it uh uh
Bjorn's uh nursery
oh he's he's now moved on to Japan um but yeah that's kind of a that's that's
on the large size
bonsai yeah there's there's much I mean there's little little guys and medium
large so what is
it does it feel because it almost looks like right there like it's almost like
a god like you're a god
over this little it's like that's what it looks like right there because I
never realized how it
looks like a whole big tree just compact huh yeah that's basically what it is I
mean people go
up into the mountains and they'll dig out you know 20 30 40 50 year old trees
and bring them back
cut them down cut them all back and put them in a small pot and just kind of
start over and that's
years and years of work really yeah so it takes a lot of work to get a bonsai
to really grow yeah to
look looking like that uh-huh a lot of years wow yeah so it's kind of yeah you're
right it's good it's a
project and you're it's it's you're calling it godlike but like it's you know
you're putting in
a ton of love and your time and everything into this tree that you're you know
it's like a person
almost oh yeah i bet it so there's a lot there's a lot more gratification from
just it being a tree
yeah for me like i just love all that man really i got like i think i'm at
around 43 trees now like
it's i'm obsessed damn yes you're an addict really yeah i'm an addict yeah and
you keep
them inside or where do you keep them at i bring them inside and enjoy them uh
like when the sun goes
down damn bro but most trees people that's the first thing people the mistake
they make you know i don't
know if you're driving around you see the guy by the side of the road in a van
selling those little
bonsais you ever see that that driving to the beach or something oh yeah if you're
heading towards malibu
or something on pch yeah yeah yeah yeah um well people the first thing people
do is go like oh yeah
i gotta get one i want a bonsai and they put it inside and they they kill all
the trees that's the dude um
yeah these are like dude these are junipers and pines and like that they don't
grow indoors
oh but these people these guys d
