and what sucks now dude is i'm back in the physical therapy grind so like yeah
whatever
happened like three years ago i was shooting this show in germany and i like
was wiggling around and
i kicked my leg up and uh like i was like ping and something pinged down here
in my groin i was like
ah i got my balls popping out you know like you had a hernia and like my insides
are oozing out
not oozing out they weren't like so then it was just something like got tweaked
and then it was
just like bing bing bing bing and the muscles all up all got up and so i had
two surgeries i was like
it's my hips i'm gonna have so i got hip surgeries on each side it wasn't the
hips no so it's been
three years of like trying to cobble my body back together and i was so up and
i was so tight and
tense and i was getting these spasms i went to the doctor the doctor one month
before my son was born
was like you're dying swear to god theo he goes you have stiff person syndrome
which is a real disease
it sounds like a boner joke but it is not and he's like you got stiff person
syndrome no and that
essentially the like average lifespan of someone with stiff person syndrome is
like five or six years
and i was like i'm dying i'm dying so for a solid couple months i was like my
my son is just born
i'm going to die and what are you feeling like you feel like a gingerbread
cookie kind of style or like
how stiff are you at that point i i'm a lot better now i was so stiff i couldn't
like i could hurt i like
i would move and everything would go crack crack crack crack crack crack crack
crack crack and it hurts
to just move at all and i would have these crazy spasms and like it would and
they would happen in
my stomach sometimes and it looks like i'm pregnant like a little arm is is
pushing out it was wild
bring some of that up stiff person syndrome this is a real um it's a real celine
dion has it oh so then
so then uh i i go through all this testing and then they were like you know we
don't think you have
this we think this is from your accident and i'm like okay thank god i don't
have this and then i go
through another six months i'm on the set of the righteous gemstones i'm not
getting any better in
fact i'm getting worse and i tell danny i'm like dude i have to dip i have to
go see the the stiff
person syndrome guy and it was so scary because he's the guy that's going to
tell me if i actually have
it or not oh really and i'm there it's after hours and uh they saw me special
you know and i just hear
his little click clack click clack of his old man doctor shoes and he comes and
he has those eyebrows
that are like yeah wizard like you know eyebrows that like a bird will land on
one yeah absolutely
and you know if you have eyebrows like that you're like you have wisdom right
yeah definitely if yeah
people who trim their eyebrows are obviously dumb as yeah you're not
yeah dude you gotta let those things sprout if you're lucky enough to have some
wiry brows
and so he comes and luckily he tells me i do not have it so thank god but it
was like a wild ride
where i'm like i think i'm dying now now i'm like it's from my accident it
sucks but hopefully i can
get better you know so some of the mental fear is is gone away because you got
the verdict and then i
think from that some of the physical has gotten a little better because the
mental because i'm not
just like because i wasn't sleeping i was sleeping like three hours a night i
was just going online
sitting on the toilet watching tick tock videos of like people with like that
are like i'm living with
stiff person syndrome and it's i'm living an okay life and you're like oh this
is i'm doing good it's like i'm
doing good yeah somebody set me on a counter so i can look at the children or
whatever yeah totally
totally you're like elf on a shelf dude that's exactly what it was and i'm like
and it's i feel
so bad for these people and also in turn i'm like this is gonna be me dude i'm
gonna like my wife is
just gonna have to like wheel me into the living room as i watch my like little
son walk for the his
first steps you know i think it's gonna go like that but luckily it's not so

stretching that's why well you can get dysplasia too that's one of the things
that um so dogs get
a lot well a lot of australian shepherds get it my friend scott has an australian
uh shepherd

dysplasia refers to
abnormal development of growth of cells or tissues which can be mild moderate
or severe and can sometimes
be a precursor to cancer oh oh i didn't know that i didn't know that i thought
that was when your your
your hips get all tight yeah let's look up hip dysplasia yeah that's what i was
thinking hip dysplasia

a kind of a cool name
for like a 90s hip-hop group yeah hip dysplasia yeah hip dysplasia condition
where the hip joint
does not develop properly yeah um resulting in abnormal fit between the ball
and socket of the hip
the exact cause of hip dysplasia is unknown but it may be related to genetics
