When you were in New Orleans, look at what kind of sports were you into?
Basketball.
Dude, is it true that they have the team called the Tall Blacks?
Yeah.
Is that true?
The basketball team in New Zealand is called the Tall Blacks?
Yeah.
That's freaking amazing, dude.
We got, yeah, in New Orleans we have,
well, we have some of the players that are kind of thick over there, you know?
So we got the round browns over there.
That's our team.
No offense, Zion Williamson, but his weight does fluctuate.
And he's cost our city a lot of money, but what is this?
Yeah, this is, oh, that's the New Zealand All Blacks?
I don't know.
This is a bunch of Ben Simmonses.
They got maybe one and a half brothers on this team, dude.
And this, but hey, that's awesome, though.
Good for them.
You a big basketball fan?
I like college football.
It's probably my favorite.
College football.
Who's your team?
I'm a Tennessee and a LSU guy.
So those are my squads.
What about you?
I don't do college football that much.
You didn't get into it with your size?
I'm sure they were like, get out here.
I was hockey.
Really?
Yeah.
You were goalie?
Soccer.
No, I was center.
Nah.
But I love soccer too, man.
I was playing soccer.
But then I was a skateboarder.
Yeah, I mean, like they all want you to get into wrestling.
Yeah, that's weird.
That's weird.
I have a platform.
But if you were a surfer, that makes sense.
Yeah, no, I just grew up skating.
I wasn't always this big.
I mean, like I was, you know, but that's what I was doing when I was little and
took that into
high school, but I love skateboarding.
And then surprisingly, my main love is rock climbing.
Yeah.
So I traveled the world with rock climbing and that was kind of my thing.
Did you ever go rock climbing with?
Sharma.
Jared Leto?
No, no.
Oh, I mean, I've seen him out when we've been climbing.
Yeah.
He loves it.
He does.
He climbs a lot with Honnold.
Honnold.
Oh, Alex Honnold?
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
He climbs a lot with him.
They do like El Cap and all that kind of stuff together.
He took me to a party here one time.
I just remembered in New York and everybody was kind of dressed like they look
like different
birds and stuff.
It was pretty crazy.
Yeah.
And there was no air conditioning in the place.
It was like fancy.
It was bizarre, but it was what you'd expect out of him.
Yeah, that's people out on the rock right there.
Yeah, rock climbing is pretty amazing, isn't it?
I love it.
What makes you love it so much?
Well, it's something I did when I was little.
At the first moment, my mom took me climbing in South Dakota and when I touched
the rock
and just moved on it, it just felt like I'm probably better at climbing than I
am at walking.
My body just feels, it's just something that you connect with that you really
enjoy.
Yeah.
But I love just the fear and the problem solving and the fear of it all because
we'll do deep
water soloing now and in Mallorca and you like climb up and then you fall down
in the water.
But it's just like the challenge of like, I love climbing stuff when I was a
kid.
It's like, how do you not like, I love climbing trees.
I love just climbing.
So I don't know.
I'm a fucking gorilla.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah.
Being in the dirt and I just enjoy taking my kids.
My kids do it and it just keeps us out in nature.
Something to do.
I guess it'd be like fishing or hunting like for other people, but like being
in nature
and going to do adventures and, you know, setting out to do something and
accomplishing it.
But also the other thing too is I think I'm very, very much, and I'm not
diagnosed ADHD,
but I'm just, there's a lot of things going on.
I feel like when I ride motorcycles and I go rock climbing, it's just like you
can't do anything
else but be there.
So that's just like a little bit of my therapy or meditation is like, that's
when everything
just gets real clean and clear.
Makes you focus in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What you get, you know, everyone gets high on that or loves that.
You know what I mean?
When you can really, mind, body, spirit connects and you flow in something,
that's what you,
you know.
Oh yeah.
When you're zipping down on a freaking motorcycle, you can't, yeah, it's hard
to be like,
oh, I got to do that email or whatever.
Well, it's just like everyone, you're in a car, you're like, you know, doing
your makeup,
you're eating food, you're talking to someone, you're paying attention to shit.
Where you ride a motorcycle, it's, you're, you're going to die if you fucking,
if you're
out, if you're doing your makeup while you're riding your motorcycle, you're
fucked.
Yeah.
It's not easy.
Unless they come out with those self-driving motorcycles, which I read about,
that's going
to be, I'm like, what are we doing now?
Self-driving motorcycles?
Yeah.
That's not what we need.
No.
A lot of organ donors are motorcyclists.
And I didn't mean to say that out loud to you, but you knew it.
I'm an organ donor.
A lot of them are.
You're an organ donor?
A lot of them are.
Yeah.
You keeping them?
No.
No.
Yeah.
I don't know if anyone wants them.
Fucking pickled.
I'm actually waiting for this AI and shit to come around to go like, yo, two
new kidneys,
livers and kidneys right here.
Let's go.
Livers and kidneys, dude.
That's what I need, bro.
Oh, yeah.
I want a fresh sack of lungs, boy.
Them inner tits.
Yeah.
And then just nail them again.
30 more years of bashing these bitches up.
Yeah, dude.
Toughen up, fucker.
Bro, that'd be crazy.
You're like 95.
Swap them out?
Yeah.
Like, yeah, I'm 95, but I got a seven-year-old liver.
Yeah.
You're just paring on that bitch.
Just getting hammered drunk on a one-bud light.
Fucking sick.
Sleep in somebody's boat or whatever.
Thank you.
