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 bonsai 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
this is this is the most peaceful beautiful i've ever seen in my life
how do i give me some yeah how do i give me a couple grams of that
it's kind of like nature by the gram it is it is and i just started 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 to like
just even me out because i'm i'm like you too i'm pretty 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 is this
is in nashville uh right outside of nashville that's at 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 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 yeah so 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 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 that's the dude um yeah these are like
dude these are junipers and
pines and shit like that they don't grow indoors oh but these these guys don't
tell people that i mean
there's very few that will grow inside you know some of the ficus and but that
very few most most bonsai
trees specimens grew up go outside so it says right here the practice of bonsai
development incorporates a
number of techniques either unique to bonzo or using other forms of cultivation
like so you trim the leaves
trim the leaves again what all the things you do to them yeah you well i mean
you're constantly pruning
trimming fertilizing wiring like you take the you know different gauge uh wire
and you you you're
telling the branches where to go you know styling the tree all out with um it's
you know you're
you're sort of dictating how this thing's gonna you know your vision of how the
tree uh
will you know look its best and is there a certain time when you go do it tommy
or is it just kind of
like you're like you know i'm feeling this would be something to do today like
how much of a responsibility
is it as an owner it's daily man it's like it's like it's like uh it's just
part of the program you
know i'll wake up and like rip some coffees and cigarettes and then i go out
and talk to the trees
and chill out for a while to get to get the day started right man oh for sure
bro you're a grower
and a shower dude that's what's crazy bro i can't even believe that um wow that's
fascinating you'd
you'd love it man i don't know if you like tripping out and just creating but
yeah if you like out if you like trees and you like creating i love being
creative
Thank you.
