i don't know if i should tell you this should i tell you the story all right
let's i'll tell you
the story all right so what do people do when they go out to the desert right
they always take
fucking mushrooms or peyote or whatever so i finally decided like you know what
fuck this i'm
gonna try it so my buddy told me to only take like four all right so in my head
i'm like okay
that means i should take six all right because he's trying to ease me into this
thing it's like
i'm only gonna do this once i'm never gonna do it again i want to fucking see
shit talking to me
right so i say to my wife i'm gonna take six and she was like well why would
you take six he told
you to take four so i'm like all right you're probably right you're probably
right all right
so the kids are in bed it's a four-hour ride it's 10 o'clock at night i'm like
fuck it i'm going in
right so i take this shit
one pill makes you nervous right so i take this shit
and uh didn't take long like 40 minutes later it hit me
it just kind of felt like i ate like a fucking pot cookie or something
and uh
i don't know there was a couple of times like the toilet looked like it was
breathing
you know or like a painting kind of looked like it was moving but other than
that i wasn't like
seeing shit seeing shit seeing shit right which kind of bugged me i was like
fuck i knew i should have taken
six right but the whole time i was like nauseous i was like what is this
is this like fucking heroin like you puke or something and uh
i don't know it was like it was all right i didn't but i didn't like trip i
just kind of got into a
weirder sort of it felt like i ate weed or something right i know there's all
these mushroom people going
like oh man uh dude you should have because everybody know it takes muscles
like oh my god dude
and like i i understand myself and i understand like fucking
the universe and i'm one with it and i was looking at all people and just
feeling nothing
but love i i that didn't happen for me i think because i've been facing all of
these fucking
things that i've been running from uh it kind of went the other way like after
i was done kind of
like shit like vibrating and stuff and i was sort of coming down uh i was left
with this profound sense
of sadness and loneliness
and i was even thinking about people that i knew that i knew loved me and i
still was still feeling
that and i was like what the fuck is this this is crazy right so whatever i
went to bed and then the
next morning when i woke up i kind of i think i pieced it together it was like
it was actually a good
thing it was kind of bringing all of that stuff to the surface and it's part of
like the whole all of
this shit that i'm finally finally dealing with i also made me realize that i
kind of slept walked
through my 30s and 40s all i was doing was trying to achieve shit because
really that's why i got into
this business was i'm gonna do shit that's gonna make people laugh and then
people are gonna stop
fucking with me i swear to god it goes back to like the eight-year-old me and
then
because i thought being on stage everybody just automatically liked you um and
also twitter
didn't exist
hey you ginger mongoloid right i thought if i did that you know everybody would
like me people
would stop fucking with me and then i also thought like because i was afraid to
talk to
you know girls and shit when i was younger i was like they see me on stage and
they'll come up to me
i don't have to break the ice none of that was true you still as a comedian i
think with a musician
you can kind of sort of brood off in the corner and they'd be like hey i like
really like like your
ukulele you want to hang out or something as a fucking comic you still you
still have to
fucking not only do you still gotta work for it they they want you to be funny
every eight
fucking seconds like what they just saw you doing so um yeah so then that made
me start watching stand
up and everything and then also stop paying attention in school and just keep
fantasizing
about like just crazy like everything from being the nude lead singer from acdc
to like winning the
medal of honor like just bananas like hero fantasies and all of it came down to
me not liking myself
and not understanding all this that was happening to me um so but along the way
because of
that i really got into stand-up comedy and then i just wanted to be a comedian
but
like if i really get boiled down to it it that's the reason why i did it i got
into it um
and i think all of that shit that i then you know my 20s was figuring out stand
up and meeting all
these great people that i am now been friends with forever but my 30s and 40s i
just fucking
you know plowed through and didn't deal with all of this fucking shit that i it's
embarrassing like i feel
like i should have dealt with it by the time i was like 21 22 and now i'm 52
gonna be 53 so i think
that that's what the tail end of that little experience was out there um
so it was a good thing as much as it wasn't like i think if you're if you kind
of like yourself
i think if you like yourself and you're at peace
with that's happened to you the people in your life or were in your life or
whatever i think if
you're at peace or even if you're not at peace if you've just fucking like gone
through sadness and
allowed yourself to feel sad cried or whatever but as opposed to being like i
don't give a fuck i don't
give a i don't care i don't give a right if you just do that or maybe i'm just
being narcissistic
right now and thinking that my experience will be your experience if you had
roughly the same sort of
thing but i i would be interested to hear what anybody who's who's had
something like that or
i'll listen to your theories because i'm trying to figure out i'm trying to
figure out why um
all right well i think i did i don't know it was but it was you know
i did you know whatever i went to joshua tree i tried to hallucinate didn't
quite happen but i mean
that's what's i gave it the old college try i don't know i also think like i'm
just not like
because one of my buddies is going like what's it like right now i go well you
know the tv looks
like it's growing and it's gonna fall sort of but not really it's not like alice
in wonderland but
it looks like but i know it isn't
and then somebody else goes just go with it
it's like going what i don't want to think the tv's falling on me
i don't know the whole thing was funny
