0:00 let's do it four one boom hello travis what's going on thanks man thanks for doing this i I always do battle ropes. feel like just normal people's wrist strength i probably don't have because there's been so much Kids are getting injuries on their thumbs from, you know, fucking around with their phone too much. Yeah. He's like the illest vegan chef ever.

2:11 Yeah. your diet up because of your your injuries or because you were trying to keep your body tuned for And I had to eat meat in the hospital because they didn't have any I was already vegan. when they would, you know, do a vegan diet for however long, the people promoting it like how hands-on were you with the construction of it or But yeah, he curates the whole thing.

5:41 Yeah, and you'll be all set with a menu if it's fall, at Italian restaurants and Italian Mediterranean restaurants that cooked everything. LA has some great spots. What in the fuck is that about? He takes a lot of photos, so he'll show up to punk or rap, whatever show I'm playing. 20 something pounds fuck yeah he does it every year wow yeah he's trying to vanish right he's

8:40 For 22 years? What the fuck man Yeah everyone just smiles And he'd just be sitting there all silent. No. Yeah, it would be rough. I'd like to have him on the podcast and see how long I can talk to him for. The world needs him, you know? Because I was trying to wrap my head around. And then I just figured it out over time. Yeah, he meditates. I couldn't even imagine going 22 days without talking.

11:37 that i know have had their adenoids and their tonsils removed and they actually take some of So I'd smoke about 20 I was like You know I didn't I didn't really know what was going on Like when you think about this, like you probably shouldn't smoke too many of these because I'm at that spot I quit smoking cigarettes Yeah my friend Ari said that He started smoking spliffs in England.

14:07 Yeah, I feel like they just started smoking just pure weed over there. It's 2019, fellas. the first layer of your nuts off when you go to grab your weed but yeah we would do that and then into iraq or you know where we were balrain so i did away with everything and i just kind of took And then like a week later, I found out I had what was called precancerous Barrett's esophagus.

16:42 of people use cbd and they find that it alleviates anxiety and lets them sleep better do you find to see a lot of people use cbd and they find that it alleviates anxiety and and then that kind of helps. that's messed up. But I got trigeminal neuralgia and I've only had four episodes, but when I do If you have trigeminal neurology, even mild stimulation of your face,

18:25 They thought like mine, I maybe got mine from impact, like from my accident. are inflammation caused so sometimes like if you change your diet you can you can smooth some of was eating and i'm still eating clean at the time i'm still eating vegan i'm eating you know whatever to make it more dense so that you could get more yield out of an acre. And so in America, we said, oh, bigger is better.

21:25 Just for that reason? I do too. what i found is that i've tried gluten-free pasta and it's like you know what i like better than you get bloated yeah but if you eat it in italy you don't get that feeling and you look at those make any sense yeah agreed standard american diet is just fucked up but i've always wanted to ask my first week sucks but I think I can you know

24:57 Yeah, no, 2003. I was I was kind of out of control wow it's a an amazing thing that happens to you when you become and now I love boxing do you get them wrapped correctly? What ounce gloves are you using? A little heavier. bag but it's softer and the other one's a monster bag. The monster bag's like really hard. as like hitting something solid and hard.

27:52 And then that on top of the heavier glove, I bet it'll stop all the hand stuff. i was living in chevy hills for a little while and i was working out at a gym over there and You shouldn't do that. What the fuck's going on with my voice Because if you're training for strength You can do certain things like kettlebells in specific where it's strength, but it's also endurance.

30:09 a metronome workout so you're actually like a tempo workout where you're training to a tempo I haven't. He watched me play, and he was at a show where Blink played, and he's like, That's where the tank comes in play, man. I mean, it's really interesting to watch people's different, this song i can kind of this is not a big big part you know you can kind of chill but it's like a

33:00 know how to do that or i'm gonna get tired if i do that i don't want that to do that. Or I'm going to get tired if I do that. I don't want that to happen. Right. You know? in the entertainment world. same thing happens if you practice too much as a band joke about the beach boys about uh they're going out there like playing i wish they could all be

34:39 And even to the crowd, it's like, whoa, that's cool. Cars outside waiting for you after the show, taking you to the hotel. It's way busier at home. I hate doing this. I love that I love doing, so I can't complain and be like, oh, I hate going to this studio. I hate doing this. who are awesome. And then I worked on XXXTentations album uh before he passed away um i work with like smoke

36:59 I loved Slayer and King Diamond. that just kept embedding in my head, like, listen to everything can't just be you can't just learn Like same thing. awesome like i did a hand zimmer thing the other week and then the next day i'm in with like a band called nothing nowhere doing something completely different this week i'm doing a Like there's this band called The Fever 333 that I produce and write with

39:21 whatever it is you're passionate about, that excites me. Now, how do you schedule your time in terms of how much time you're going to spend B making music you know my studio B which is really really awesome and then same with Alabama What the fuck is it like going on tour with Lil Wayne? It was so fun. It was the best. that audience must be beaten into a coma.

41:49 but there's never really been a home for a live drummer in a rap scenario. wanted to uh yeah that tour was so fun but yeah once Puff asked me to be in a video it was kind Like, it's so weird. That means you're fulfilled. Yeah. it doesn't get any better. Josh, over here in Woodland Hills. Well, no. He's like on the side of me all of a sudden. Everything he does, he's got this weird herky-jerky little thing.

45:08 but I feel like Dom was the first one you saw And he just came up with this very unorthodox way of moving. Yeah, yeah, yeah. like he just you know he's obsessive. I had it on a tour where I would... want to do it i i get too kind of – I throw myself all the way in. It was painful. Yeah. called vivo barefoot i wear those i like those a little bit better for running on the hills because I'm running on a lot of rocks and shit.

48:48 It feels good to run on it because you get all this cushion. if you don't pay like two huge bags that were like probably like i probably had 40 pounds on my back and i was just Try walking on it. I get an x-ray. brittle from pain from painkillers what what painkillers norcos yeah yeah Yeah. I haven't had anything for 10 years nothing nothing zero I was on like four or five, just bipolar.

52:29 so i just flushed him down the toilet one day and the next week i came back to see him and he's like And I said, well, honestly, I don't feel like they're doing what they're supposed to for me, hospital um i was on so many drugs i couldn't even i didn't even know my friends had passed away or it was never cool but I started to feel better you know um but yeah I think it was because i was so crazy at the time but that's it's interesting

55:02 Possibly. the table i don't even think i really knew what was going on i just wasn't they couldn't give me Jesus Christ. And I really was just fighting demons. I think that was just, those were the good points that helped me turn the corner. And I don't know, doctors to this day like dr grossman he's he's he's so awesome and he basically saved my life

57:56 what the fuck was I doing? and you go well we'll see and then you look 10 years later like wow you were right you never to be a professor or fucking doctor or something well i just had no idea what i wanted to do for a living and i was just like being trapped in a classroom constantly was excruciating yeah i must have had trying to decide whether or not i was just gonna fucking drop out and not graduate from high school

1:00:13 Yeah, Fontucky. football in fontana yeah oh you saw meth yep but uh yeah i was the same way just just skated by Like talk to counselors? Why is that not an option? He'd be like, you got to have a plan B. I think that's the right mindset. or small it is something will happen you know yeah yeah if you figure it out and keep improving and to me he's like yo you gotta you gotta start paying rent at the house because you you know you're not in high school no more or and get like a 60 hour a week job like a

1:04:20 a big mistake i think you're very fucking talented and i think you'll regret this and you can get best stories and i think back even to this day i go to laguna sometimes i'm like wow that was kind of one of the best moments of my life besides my children know and you just have to you know don't worry about being cool or being fucking rich or having

1:06:11 it's not, man, uh i'm working on some new ones i've decided to go back in you're kind of like remixing them at this point you know It's like a moment in time and I got it for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, I love them too. It's not so bad. This is like, it's so painful. And then you get one, you're like, wait a minute. It's not so bad. Same. i don't know six years ago wow yeah yeah i started i had like a piece on the side of my head right

1:08:51 Even outside of tattooing, like lowrider culture. have like a rose you think a skull yeah I don't know you know you get a lot of tattoos I got a Wow. on my legs. Oh, and I lost some tattoos from my back. burnt like you can't really tell that's amazing yeah you can't really tell at all because you're to do everything I jumped right into the jet, which is full of fuel so my whole body

1:12:19 My right foot almost didn't make it. A highway's right on the side of me. So still, I think my right foot is probably like over 50% of it's a graft. It came about a couple hundred yards from one of my houses. Yeah, the kids. Yeah. my laptop and i think that's it and some some clothes and then the kids are a little freaked we did the same thing i came came home but not really home you know just lived at a hotel for a

1:15:54 like my kids are are at school over in malibu or really close to there and i always see high alert Huge lots. Like a house caught fire, Yeah. that was the name of the fire i don't think i don't i don't know what the fuck the cause of wild forest is just gone damn yeah a fireman imagine of all people yeah he must have felt They burned to death in their cars.

1:18:37 climate change is happening, but also the fact that there's no small fires. Wow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. stuff on stage a straight iron plugged in if I just no more and I used to do it whatever he would even go as far as when we were on tour But I would, you know, I'd do that. I didn't know enough to have any kind of, he's like, ass dead ass dead ass seemed like ass. He's freaking dead ass.

1:22:32 Like, In his mind, He's always been obsessed with it. be intelligent life out there but i haven't seen a fucking single thing that makes me think that anybody's I'm not dedicating my life to search for it, respect for his passion yeah but it's like i couldn't do that that's insane yeah it's like And then he would have like a point where he'd get rescued.

1:25:18 And to this day, he's convinced that that was a Bigfoot. Fuck. the more I was convinced none of these motherfuckers had ever seen Bigfoot. anything goes 10 20 feet it's gone the problem with that is that there's black bears up there Nah. There definitely was a thing called Gigantopithecus that lived in Asia. Yeah. Like if you saw that And you're searching for Bigfoot out there

1:28:03 You're like oh my god he's got a hurt right foot. It says, or he could have fucking people man i think that is a big reason why and they're they're feeding them that is so And then her mom, watch this shit. Fuck you and fuck him and fuck you. The mountain lion grabbed him from behind. I can't picture anyone else being able to do that. They're out here.

1:31:25 You could stick your thumb into it so it stays in your hand. I heard a story about that. and they're trying to figure out a way. And then his dogs approach what they think is dead. And he's kind of got bigger dogs now. Like, if it wasn't so sad That used to work One of those big Wow. They must have been so bummed out. They're like, we're going to get this dog.
