Dude, you guys, you got into fitness a lot recently, huh?
Yeah, I mean, on the last tour, you know what happened was that, like, I always,
like, do it somewhat.
Right, because you guys have done that Sober October for a while.
But even, like, before that, it was always, like, I mean, that would be another
time, but I would get, like, to a certain point,
and then I would have the mentality of, like, oh, I got there.
Like, it's almost like the race is over, like, I'm done, like, now I'm good,
like, ten times or more.
And so what happens is when you go, like, I'm done, you just kind of retreat
back to old habits, and you get out of shape.
And then all of a sudden, you're like, oh, fuck, how'd this happen again?
And then you go, I'm going to do it again.
And then you go, all right, I'm going to work out and eat clean, and then you
lose weight, and you start to get,
and then you go, oh, I got to this number again, all right?
I feel, and then you just kind of pull back.
And so it really was that I got frustrated by that, and I had this, I had
gotten, I was on tour,
and we were working out on tour, but not really, like, dialed in on food.
And the tour was, like, aggressive, like, nonstop.
And I remember that I got back to L.A. to shoot this thing.
I was shooting this pilot I had written, and I was covering the whole
production.
And I remember I was in the wardrobe fitting for it, and I was like, shit, this
is, like, I feel like I'm going back,
like, in the fitting the clothes.
I was like, oh, this sucks.
And then I left there, like, after that week, and I was like, I have to take
this more seriously.
But the difference is, is that I no longer go, if I see a number that I like on
a scale, that means I'm good.
It's just, I realized that you have to do it, like, that there is no end.
It's just continuous.
It's, like, it's something that you just, if it's about goals, you just have to
set new goals.
You know, like, if you, you can't go, like, oh, if I see this number, I'm at
the weight I like.
Okay.
You have to set new fitness goals.
Like, you have to go, well, this month is about, you know, like, cardio stuff.
Or this month I want to see if I can do 200 push-ups a day.
Like, you have to set goals.
That's what I, I mean, that's what.
So that's what happened for you.
Had you been doing that before in your life, setting, like, I mean, I know we
have sometimes subconsciously, we set goals we don't realize.
And we have some of that going on in our general life.
But had you ever done it that specifically before we were like, I'm going to
set a goal?
Uh, I, kind of loosely, I would say, you know, like, hey, this month, let's go,
let's go after this type of thing.
Yeah.
Things like, like in Sober October.
But this was also the time where I was like, you know, this really, as, like,
cliche as it sounds.
Can be, like, a lifestyle change.
And now I realize how much I am affected, not just physically, mentally,
emotionally, by, and in a good way, by my, like, working out a lot.
And, like, waking up, getting my, my stuff together, going to the gym right
away.
And I'm like, I'm just having a better day.
I'm just happier.
Yeah.
I'm, I'm moving around better.
I look better.
I feel like, so I just go, I feel like I have better, uh, creative days, you
know?
Like, it's all kind of tied together.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's tied together.
So, I just made it, like, part of what I do.
It's like, you know, I just, I, I know that I want to eat certain types of food
that are good for me.
I, and by the way, I'm not saying this, like, I am the most strict dude and don't
ever, like, but I'm just, like, there's just so much more clean eating.
Yeah.
And, um, and I like, I like the, I like the workouts.
I like it, you know?
I like being active and I just feel like I'm very fortunate in that I have a
full-time trainer.
So, like, I'm, I know I'm, I'm not.
Right.
Not everybody has that.
I totally understand that.
And it's, it's a huge advantage.
So, sometimes people will be like, well, yeah, of course you can do that if you,
I'm like, yeah, that's, I'm, I'm very lucky that I can do it.
But you also just have to want that in your life.
Yeah.
Well, I ran into, well, I ended up befriending Jason Momoa, Aquaman.
Oh, yeah?
In, in New Zealand.
Wow.
And that was really fun.
And I hung out with him for another day.
Did y'all swim or anything?
No, we, we went to a bar and we hung out with, like, I don't know, a group for,
like, 10 hours.
Dang.
But he couldn't have been, like, he's a real down-to-earth guy.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So, we met at, we met at the hotel gym.
No, that's cool.
He was like, I'll crouch down.
Make you look taller.
I was like, cool, man.
Oh, you look pretty happy right there.
It was fun.
We had, we had a fun time.
Um, yeah, you know, and then Izzy came out in Auckland, too.
He, he, he, I feel like he comes out.
He's a really special guy, huh?
He's a, he's a cool, uh, man.
There's something really interesting about him.
There's something really amazing about New Zealanders in general, I think.
There is, there is.
Yeah.
And I think he has a, a really, it's a, fighters are fascinating to sign up for
that lifestyle.
You know what I mean?
Like, to, to be like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do battle for a living.
That was two tours.
That was like in 2019.
But yeah, he, he came again in this most recent tour.
And, um, I just, uh, I just enjoy the guy's energy.
You know, just being around him.
100%.
Just being around him.
And, uh.
It's very inspirational.
Whether he wins or loses, they're very, he's very inspirational.
A lot of these fighters are like that.
There's something about a lot of them, whether they win or lose.
Because you just value so much that they even could do it.
Because they're, they're actually really putting, it's, it's, you know what?
It is like inherently human beings, we respect stakes.
And if you're a fighter, the stakes are very clear.
Like you're, you're putting your, your physical body on the line.
Yeah.
To, to win or lose.
And so everybody, we, we just respect the fact that like, you're gonna like
punch and kick
and like, you know, to your fucking face.
And like this, this could have like real lasting effect.
So we just respect it so much.
But I like that dude's energy.
And it, and I do find it inspiring to be around him.
I like him a lot.
Yeah.
