It's a scam. They's jacked up prices. I try to keep tickets at fair prices for you. Today's guest is a friend of mine, a decent man and a man who has walked a road of a, who's walked a very common road when it comes to humor.

And that's a road to struggle. He's become a better friend of mine over the past year and we have a lot in common and we're going to get into some of that and just talk turkey about to embark on his fresh cuts comedy tour. It is Mr. John Christ.

That's just the Lord's liquid right there, bro. Nothing to it. Liquid death, man. I don't know if I'd want to go with a dry death or a liquid death to die.

Now, what do you do now? You have a, you got a real religious kind of history, you know? Tell me about that. Like how do you kind of, because sometimes, sometimes I feel like you get not penciled in with religion, but you almost, you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Chris, you know, like it's not shocking to hear that.

Or if I did that joke in my show, you'd be like, oh, this is like his, like, this is part of the thing. You're right. But what, I mean, if you, well, if you live in America, let's say an average person's, because I grew up in church, my dad's pastor, I was homeschooled. Really?

Yeah, homeschooled. They're one of eight kids. Wow. So when you, so did your dad teach any of the courses or in homeschooling is the, is the mother, the mom teaches.

The mom teaches. Well, in traditional, well, see, there's two types of homeschooled. There's like homeschooled, like if you're Serena Williams and you want to be professional football, or you want to be professional tennis player, I'll just homeschool so I can, and then there's like the cultural homeschoolers. Those are like long-gen skirts, Christian, traditionally.

That's a different type of homeschool. Like pail of water. Yeah, that's it. It's like, where do they go when they go?

But they got one. Right. Yeah. Books around a belt, you know, yeah, yeah.

Very Willie and Nelly Olsen from Little House in the Prairie. That's how it got, you know, like, no, not really, but sure. Yeah, yeah. So with homeschooling, man, so your mother homeschooled, yeah.

Yeah. Did your dad, did the dads come up with the curriculum? Where did they get the curriculum? It's like, you have like, there's like a group, they have like their homeschool like textbooks.

It's like, but you buy all the textbooks, but then you use them eight times because my brother did it, and then I do it two years later, and then the little brother, but all the, like a math problem would be like, I wish I was making this up. I'm not, like in Matthew four, he had five loaves and two fish subtract three loaves. How many of you, they're all like, they're about the Bible. Right.

Like all the, it's not like a train was traveling 60 miles an hour. It's like a caravan of donkeys going to see the North Star. Oh, okay. So suddenly like gets it in there.

You don't say like, we'll slide the Bible in. What? So he'll sneak some facts in, huh? That's true.

Dang. Yeah, we'll teach him, dude, one way or another. Did you guys like at Halloween, because I dated a girl for a little bit. No Halloween in my house, dude.

From Nashville, right? Yeah. She at Halloween, they were only allowed to dress up as characters from the Bible. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. She was growing up. Well, so did you know what she dressed as? I don't know who she dressed as.

I think it was one of the women in it. Yeah. Here's the thing about the Bible. They're like, dude, heavy.

Yeah, they're all written by dudes. Yeah. Yeah. And they educated guys, which is a little Brenda should have got a book.

Yeah, she was at least a book. Hey, this is how I say, you know, I used to have a joke in my show about there was a story about Jesus and the prostitute. That's the heading of the story. And you know, the prostitute, she gets her sins forgiven and she gets saved and all this kind of stuff.

She's in heaven now. This is my bit, but like, she's like, yo, what's up? My name is like Cheryl. Like who like the process?

Oh, what's up? You're like, she didn't get a name. She gets no name. So we know Bible, they didn't even give her a name.

No, but that's not generous. There's like Jesus in the man with leprosy. You're like, dude, I had a nice job. I had a family.

I had more than leprosy. But for the book, it's like, we just need you to be leprosy. We need you to be leprosy. There's no, we need prostitute one.

We need leprosy one. What's it called when you do a TV show, and then somebody's in the background doing something like, Hey, can you? Oh, yeah. There's no release at the back in the Bible times about leprosy guys.

Like, Hey, we're just gonna, we're just gonna take your story. And leprosy was pretty popular, I think, for a while. You know, if you were, if you had it was, it was bad. No, you're out.

You can't. Oh, you can't party with leprosy. No, no, no, no. But I don't even know if that's how it was transmitted, but that in, you know, they're just like, you're cast out.

If you got the, I don't know what is it. What do you think it is a scab or something? I think it was like a little something and then your whole body got like your leg fall off. I don't think you would shed a limb.

Yeah. You want to look at a police show on leprosy? Bring up a limb shedding. What is it?

But when you talk about something bad in the Bible, like, dude, he probably probably a leprosy infectious disease called by basilus. So I don't know who he is that who that is. You see, uh, transmitted via droplets. That sounds familiar.

Yeah. Nose from the nose of the mouth and no mask back then bro. Wow. The basil is likely transmitted via droplets.

Yeah. It's curable with therapy. There were there were 202,000 registered faces of leprosy in 2019. What if you call the girl?

I can't come over tonight. I got leprosy. I mean, it says right there. 202,000 is plausible, but it's not, I guess it doesn't, it's not a death sentence now.

It's plausible. But if you, if you were like walking into something and you rolled an ankle back in the Bible, you're like, that's it. That's it. That's it.

If you roll an, yeah, like, you walk in with the link the rest of your, that's it. Well, we forget, you know, I will romanticize things a lot of times and think, man, it, you know, it'd be so nice to be on a carriage with my wife or with some, like, you know, and like old times, like old times. I'll do that a lot. Yeah.

Yeah. And then you start to think like what old times were really like and it was probably pretty sad. Well, you don't even have to go back that far to like, if you think about like, dude, when you were a kid, remember going to pick someone up at the airport? You just like, I hope they're here.

Oh, yeah. And you'd go around, circle back around. Maybe they're here this time. Right.

And then you would just, there was no check in this. There's no flight tracker. There's no cell phones. You just went.

You would keep going. Yeah. Maybe you stay for 30 minutes and then if you were there with your that he send you in, hey, running there and see on the screen, if it's here. And but you don't even know if he got on it.

Right. Because you can't call. It was also so much fun. I feel like to just go do anything and it was like everything was kind of like an adventure.

It was like, all right, let's go pick up our friend from the airport. You know what's going to happen? Right. They were going to go up there to meet some someone's on the movie theater.

Maybe, but maybe not. You might not be there. Yeah. If you're a date didn't show, like you really got stood up, like you like there was no way to like know why or this is they could lie.

It was easy next time they saw they could lie. But remember when I remember I told you a couple of days ago about when you I didn't get a text back from me and you're it went to green and I was like, that's red alert in 2021. Right. But back then, he would like, he'll turn back up.

He missed the week, couple weeks of school happened to him. And then you show back up. I was up to him. Around.

Yeah. I don't know. He's kind of a gravity. Yeah.

No, no. Now it's like such a mystery then. There were so many things better. But now it's like, like, you know, girls be like, Hey, I noticed you don't watch my Instagram stories anymore.

You're like, oh my, okay. We know too much. Yeah. When you say that, like, oh, now it's definitely like, oh, I saw you're like on your Instagram about I don't need to probably know that.

Yeah, you can't hide anymore. You can't. Like I used to love to be able to make things up back in the day. You could make up with your family.

Yeah. Yeah. You could say you were a prince. You could make up anything.

But you're a prince, dude. You know, you could fact check anything. Small big bird sweatshirt. Okay.

I feel like a prince would wear that. What you've moved here to Louisiana. Yeah. But it's kind of like a transfer situation, but they're like, all right.

Yeah, it was an exchange program at the castle. That's like dude. And you know, in rehab, you can't, you can't, no one knows. You don't have any phones or nothing.

So no one knows. You can make up stuff there. Right. Because this guy said he keys from India.

And he's like, he had like, this is true, actually like 37, like not serving so this house, but 37 people worked at his house. And you're like, that's a different, but you don't know anybody's name. You don't know the whole name. Oh, if I was any in my business, Chuck, right?

Right. You're like, I don't know. He might. I don't know.

Chuck has 37 people to pull. Oh, hell. Chuck's hard as well. Um, here's a question right here from somebody that came in.

The Oven is my favorite comedian in the world. Smart choice, but the chris is my wife's favorite comedian in the whole world. I would like the white universe is about to implode. How'd you guys connect?

Was it the national thing? Did you guys know about each other coming out? And John wants it like for you to be on Theo's podcast. Like, is this it for you?

You're going to blow now? This is like the big, this is it. Not to blow me, dude. You know what I'm saying?

No, no, no. I mean, I'm not trying to knock it or anything, but okay. First of all, we got to hang with that guy that everything about that. I don't know the guy shirtless.

He was like, before I get to my question, I need to get some, I need to be involved. Right. We got a lot of back story. So I'm not getting nervous and take my shirt off when I do stuff.

I don't like to be shirtless. You don't? I just got to make sure you're my body's positioned right when you're shirtless. Oh, really?

When you're sitting up like this, you don't look good. Oh, that's like, your body looks a little. Yeah, that's like kind of like I've been drinking step there. Yeah.

One of the came up with shirts, like, Hey, we got to wonder why it all goes back to like, like, I like even romanticize and what things used to be like, like it was probably so hot. People were so stinky. Yeah. That's the thing you don't realize someone was horrible.

People were stinky. People were dying. Like, Hey, do you want to marry, you know, uh, you got to go down to the river. It might be three and a half miles away.

You want to marry Sarah? Yep. There wasn't any options for marriage. It was like, do you want to marry Margaret?

Because that's who you're. There was like, that's why they say like, Hey, there's only, you know, very, very like a religious Christian. There's like, you have a soul mate, one person on this planet for you that God has a plan for you to find this woman, one person on planet earth, there's seven billion people, right? And it happened to be the girl that lives two doors down.

Wow. This girl actually works in my office. She worked in your office and you want to have a billion people on earth and the girl that was God's plan for you worked in your office. Oh, lucky.

Thank God. The easiest plan. Easy. Yo, that's a hookup.

Did you found her? Just you don't even have to go. Man, you barely let it leave the state. You didn't have to leave the neighborhood.

She was right there. You can't really say that's like not very romantic to say that there's a bunch of women that would be good for you. Well, I married, but that's would be true, right? Well, I don't know.

Like how many do you think would be a good marriage partner for you? Let's say I think I lose nugget. Okay, I'm a lose nugget. So you might cut down and you might do 5,000 in America in the world.

Oh, wow. You get them out. 5,000. But then if you say baby, the only one for me, she's like, I mean, what's that?

He has to be a reliable, it used to be a fair promise to make. I think to someone that you're the one for me. And now part of the promise is there's so many ones. Well, there's also so many like a bill.

There's so much capability to get access. It's like, you know, they say you're only as capable as your options or whatever. Like you don't. Yeah.

Yeah. All of a sudden, you get some money. You're sphere kind of, you get outside of the neighborhood a little bit. Right.

Yeah. All of a sudden, you got a driver's license. Now you can go to the next town. You can get across town.

You can touch Titty Cross town. I remember back in the day, you really. That's it. You had your, did you ever like intermix with the other high schools?

Like, or are you kind of hanging your high school? No, I would hang at the other high schools. I ended up switching from one school to another in the right. In the same towns.

In two different towns. Yeah. Totally different. One was like a real country town that I grew up in.

And one was a little bit more like suburban, like kind of real white. You were both of them. Yeah. Well, when I got to the fancier one, that was the first time a girl ever liked me.

And so it was, I had like a new beginning. When what age? What grade? Seven, eight, nine, ten grade.

Yeah. Yeah. I remember walking across the gym and some girl was looking at me. I thought it's something happened to me.

You know what I'm saying? Like you might have glowed up. You might have had a summer. You might have had a glow up.

I had a man. He braces off or something. No, I need a brace. So it must have been like this kind of make a wishy type.

Yeah. But her name was Jenny. I remember she was hot, man. She looked at you.

She looked at you. That was the first time you ever remember a girl looking at you like in a way. Dude, and she was, I can still feel her looking at you. That's how, that's how nice it was to be admired by a woman.

You might have been, we're still chasing that. Oh, I'd be. I think I'm still chasing that admiration. Did we answer that other guy's question was the question.

I mean, we meant, I think, I mean, I've known about you over the years, but I've seen you more as I know where I met you. We've talked about this before at the punchline in Atlanta. I did a guest spot for you. Did you really yeah?

Oh, you were wearing a handbag. You were wearing a last six weapons ago. This man is unhinged. Oh, wow.

You were just, you came in. You're like, what up? Oh, dude. What's crazy about now with me and you in that is like we ate like no one knew who we were right.

No one was like trying like we were trying to hang with fans. We were trying. They were like, no, we good. Remember those days?

Oh, yeah. Like what are you all doing? Right. And no, it'd be like, yeah, we're good.

Yeah. And that wasn't that long ago. Like I got a family man. I got a future.

They were like, hey, you only like drink or something. They're like, no, we like, we like like your hamster bone story. We gotta go. We want to see a couple free hams out here.

Yeah, we're good. Dude, they had good pie at that place. Yeah. The new punch line.

Yeah. The new punch line. But it but what's funny about that guy's comment is that which is always happens like you're my favorite comedian and I'm his wife's favorite comedian. Oh, it's like that.

That's very common for you and I read that bar one night. Remember? Yeah. And some guy said, didn't some guy said my wife love you, which I don't, is that good or bad?

I don't know. I would trade you. I would that guy specifically? I mean, maybe not even his wife, not even know.

You're like side on scene. That's a good call. I'll take it. Oh, well, you know, Ralphie May, Ralph May said, RIP, he said women are the ones that, that, you know, you have a little like a sexist, like misogynistic joke.

People were like, yeah, like first of all, women make the decision to come see you guys will come. But no, like, you know, there's real like old school type comics that were very like, like, that's not a thing. And like women are driving the sales and if you're cool to women, you're that's like, you know, like only exclusively dude comics, you know, those guys? The crowd is just male.

You're yeah. Yeah. So what do you think from like the fighting stuff? No, I think just from podcasting is talking about stuff being alive.

A lot of money is just men that are trying to be a lot. Trying to live. I think yeah. Do you know if you're looking at your Instagram, like your breakdown?

Yeah, I'm like 80% men. I'm like the exact opposite. Really? That is wild.

No. The exact opposite. Which I got a little bit, I feel a little bit, I feel some kind of way about that. But you feel some kind of way about yours?

No, I feel honest, I had to show a grateful that I have some sort of connection with the audience. So I think that that's really the most that's kind of what feels like that. I mean, yes, I think every comedian wishes there was like a bunch of big juggy bro. That you're looking at your demographics and they have photos of this.

This is a rusty muppets in the front, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, maybe. But the big dude, I remember the biggest and the biggest I ever saw as a kid was on this buddy. On a guy.

I do not remember even touching myself too much when I was young because it was the only ones we had at that age. But what you saw him? Oh, dude, he was with him out. What do you mean out?

He slept with him, shirtless. But I think it was real hot. He was at that weight where it gets real hot. Yeah, yeah.

It's hot easily. Oh, yeah, he's at that hot weight. You'd see his, you know, you'd see the, and he had to do his dad had done the ceiling fan in his room. And this thing was illegally powered.

Yes, I was on high. And it was, and it turned off, it doesn't turn off. Yeah, there's no off. I mean, those ones that are like, it's not going to fall off.

It's like, it's going to be going. This one smelled very, I think it ran on kerosene or something. It was really, it was authentic, man. But I remember the wind would cool, I would almost put a redness on tent on his skin.

Okay. Yeah. And he would rest and I remember one time was being out of age at his house to be erect and just. And he was, he was a sleep, thank God.

Oh, it's in the same room with this man. Yeah. He was a, yeah, yeah. And don't call my man.

We're both boys. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I don't want to be some boy, master, into a man. Well, the very, yeah, you know, when you were like, when you were like, well, when you were like, young, you were like, you wanted to, I wanted to be like me and my buddies would like, like streak through the neighborhood.

Yes. And it was cool to be like with your clothes off. Yeah. That's perfect.

Yeah. No, no, no, it was very like, and that's the tricky. Like when we like in rehab, you kind of do your, like your sexual history, they talk about that kind of stuff like, what's the first time you had like a sexual anything? Oh, really?

And I remember when I was, I had to be seven or eight, this older girl came to babysit us. Oh, and I, we were playing freeze tag and I tagged her on the boot, but I didn't know, you know, I didn't know, I didn't know much. I didn't know why I wanted to do that, but I just did. Did you so after you did it, did you feed?

Did it feel like unbelievable? Yeah. And I don't know. And that that's God, bro.

I mean, that's the way everyone's here. Everyone is here because of that. Right. Every year because of sex, right?

So it's, that sex becomes this taboo thing. That's like, Lewis, K had a bit when he came through saying he's like two, three weeks ago. You watch him? Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. He said, I was at a time. You know, we take things too far and people do stuff is across the line, but he said, you, everyone wants to live in a world where Sarah at your high school went, what's up with Theo?

Yeah. Right. Yeah. And now you don't want to go touching people in a program, but you want to live in a world where someone goes, I want to wait, she's up to you.

Yeah. Right. Yeah. And what's her name?

You know, Steph Curry? Yeah. Yeah. So his wife, man, yeah, grown man, his wife, you know, before kids, when he was coming to the league, she said she would always walk through, you know, the hallways and people in Colorado and be like, what's up?

And then she said she had two kids kind of like got a little bit older, she said, I miss people like kind of cat calling again, not inappropriate. But you like, let's not act like that world doesn't exist. Right. Right.

And it's flattering. Huh. What's up? Like, I wonder what I want to talk to her.

Right. Whatever that is. Some see a sense of attraction. Yeah.

Yeah. We all want to be wanted in some way. And then I don't think it's weird to be, you know, to be wanted sexually kind of, you know, at all, really, it's, but it also the most natural thing. Like I get a feeling sometimes in my body that every part of me wants to climb out of my penis.

You're, you got to go inward first. And then, yeah, I literally have a feeling sometimes, like I just get this, like this tense energy that everything I have or am wants to, like, if my whole body could fly out of my penis, it just disappears in. And I'm done. And we had a good run.

We had a good run. You know, and I feel like I'd be okay with that. I want to feel, you know, what's the long story? But he's on top.

Yeah. He's with the Lord. He went out. He wanted to go out because it's also interesting if that's the way that you went out.

It'd be like an inverse of the way that you came in in a weird way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Cause everybody came into this world the same way. Yeah. And he was like, that's the, that's the real Lion King. That's the circle of life right there.

Yeah. It should be some guy masturbating off a cliff. You know what I'm saying? But somebody else catching and taking care of it.

Well, if you were like that, because they, they would talk about how like, is it like a, is this like when you were like, you know, when you were with your buddies and you're like, let's like sleep naked or something like that. Yeah. They're like, was that inappropriate? And they were like, no, that was just a boy.

Yeah. Yeah. And they were like, they want to make a distinction between, because if it, there's a little bit graphic, not really, but like if it's two boys being curious versus a boy and an uncle, because he knows, and then that's a problem. That's trauma.

Right. When you have the knot when one of them knows and it's trying to do a thing versus if it's like, because, and then kids get in trouble for stuff that is just curious. Right. Don't put that in the same category.

Cause then that shame comes in, right? Oh, I thought I was, you're supposed to be a Christian and you're streaking. Like that's it. Right.

Or like you're going to go jump in the girls pool and you're going to, that's kind of just, but that's a tough line. Cause then sometimes it can, switch it. Oh, I don't think that was, that was appropriate. Right.

It can switch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, some of that stuff's tricky. I remember babysitting my, some family members one time, or semi family and the kids over there in a bed, you know, naked with his little buddy, you know. Yeah. Yeah.

Two boys. Yeah. And so I just, I didn't say nothing to him or make him get weird or anything. You know, I didn't also didn't go in and tickle him at that moment.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's like, you got to know when to tickle people and when it just let them be, you know, that's how you know, I think you just got to, that's something that's, you know, that's, you know, but I think people's that governor inside of your head for what's okay, sexually can certainly get altered and get, and get, and get, like when I think of those dogger kids, like the speaking of religious families, like they have those dogger children, you know, they're famous. They're like 10 kids and it's Marcus.

Yeah. 20 children. How many children was it? Pull up, dogger.

I was going to try. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You were in a trap for the man. I was going to try. One of my buddies was like, friends of them. And I was like, going to try to like date one of them.

Yeah. But they're like, that seems like a good wholesome thing, but they got, they got, it got twisted up, right? There's lots of stuff there. But how I think, could you not at this point, you have children that age is so different.

19 kids accounting. So you have kids, I mean, you can't even reach a light switch without touching another kid's breasts. You know what I'm saying? Like you can't even, there's just, there's not 19 showers in that house.

I know that there's not 19. Everyone can't get a hot shower. Right. Let's just, that's what this effect is.

There's gonna be a lot of like passing through in the rest. Yeah, there's a lot of, can I get, it's gonna be sweet spot, right? With a lot of that. Or can I shower with you?

Just give me a lot of that. Yeah. Which is first of all, really normal for kids, but then it can get weird when one of the kids is now is strong. And when the kid is five, it can get a little bit weird.

So if you say like, because then there wasn't a lot of like, incest and stuff going on there. I think there was just a lot of like, the one guys had a lot of trouble with sex, sex addiction, Josh Gugger. Yeah, okay. Yeah.

But I just, and I don't know where it comes from. I haven't read enough into it. But when you, when you like, if, it's like I don't see, if it's something told you that story, you be like, yeah, that checks out. It makes sense.

You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, it makes sense. All right. Yeah.

Yeah. I could have, yeah. What's the way, when you went to rehab, when you say rehab, what kind of, what do you go in for? I mean, I, let's see.

Because I'm in half of them. Yeah. So they put me with for five things, because they were like, they like diagnosed you. So I just went in there because I was just like, I was drinking a ton.

I was real sad. I was real sad on the road. And I like, I just wanted to like, get out. I just wanted to, we talked about this before.

The scary thing is like everybody, we go dinner tonight. Everybody at the restaurant is hoping for a better tomorrow, right? Maybe if I get a job, maybe if I get a wife, maybe if I get a raise, maybe if I'm in the lottery, tomorrow is going to be better. Maybe if I'm my president, I get selected.

And I was hoping in all these things. And then I got them all. Oh, I had money. I had attention from women.

I had all my shows were sold. This is unbelievable. And that's the saddest because you realize, oh, the hope is not here. You were hoping in all the better.

Everybody thought, yeah, the restaurant has a better faith because you're like, one day I might get it. And you can live your whole debt, your whole life hoping, right? And then if you get it and you're still sad, that's very, it's, that's nowhere to go. Yeah, there's nowhere to go.

I can relate to that. Yeah. Here's something new. You know how the price of gold has been all over the place lately.

Hey, I'm Donna from Minneapolis and seeing you both live. Can't. Okay. Hide money.

She said. Anyway, I got a question for both of you actually. You have both been open and vulnerable about your addiction and sobriety and recovery. And I would just be curious what your greatest gift from that has been.

And if that has affected your comedy or career in any way, so thanks. They make you put them on video. They don't have to. They can do video or audio.

I believe we've just been using video more recently because times have changed and people like to see it, but I like it. You got to put yourself together for a bit. You're gonna go on. I might be on the podcast.

I'm a tight. I'm a tight note. I like that. You put a church window in the back.

Yeah, it's a great enough. I'm talking about as you put all those cell books in the back for me. There you go. Very good.

What's that up on the top? What's that say? Is there something something from Hobby Lobby? It looks like a very warm holiday.

But look at her books. They're lined up by the by color. Ooh, that's a little look at the bottom books. Can they?

Can the audience see this? Bottom books, bottom books? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. She got the baby and who? Dude, she loves those turquoise titles. She got a purple on the bottom turquoise white white and then dark on the top.

I like that. That's the dark arts organization. That's a good question. Well, I think you and I have a connection.

I mean, I just invited the other day to an alanon meeting. So I'm still trying to figure out like, we didn't we couldn't figure out what it was. Yeah. That meeting is alanon is interesting.

But that's like, you know what? All those meetings, all the anonymous, whatever they are, it's just like, Oh, do you go to like cross figure? You're going to 24 hour fitness. Like you're in there, right?

Emotionally, right? Lifting doing some reps, right? And you got to face. And so you're like, Hey, you want to go to alanon?

I mean, I go, I go, yeah, I know, right? Jim, the mental gym. Yeah, I go there. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll find I'll find something to take from there. Right.

Yeah. Mine was what's it for the other question? Mine was alcohol, depression, workaholism, narcissism, and sex. It's all five of those.

Wow. That's what they put they diagnosed me with. They were like, you need to you need to work on all of these. That was like, wow.

Yeah. And so when you go, like, the only thing I've done is I went to an eight day facility recently. And then I've just been in AA, you know, yeah, I would like to go to more kind of longer term and just stuff because it was really good when I went. What do you do some things you really got out of it that you didn't know about yourself before?
