Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's like you know, when lions hung gazelles,
one of them a roar, and the gazelles are run
the opposite way and it's a pack of lines waiting
on them. So they tell you go towards the rarer.
You want to be around drinking. You want to be
around all the things that you was around, because if
you try to avoid it and run from it so much,
by the time you get you probably get around it.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's probably what's going to cause you to relft.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
But if you especially when you're fresh and you first
coming out, so being around people drinking and you know,
doing whatever they want to do. After a while, you
just get used to it, so didn't You never want
to make people uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You don't want to be the sober guy, and people
like I don't want to do nothing wrong, you know,
I want people to be themself.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
You know, right right interesting go towards the roar.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
And it worked too, because now you know, the first
day I got out of rehab, I had to play
a show at Arizona State.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
That's rough. That's rough. Were you like shaking? Were you
like fucking did you have the dts and like that?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I mean it wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It was just I was just so nervous because I
was so used to relying on alcohol to do the shows.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
To be up.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
There, it was like it comes a crutch.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I still got thirty minutes left, like, yeah, oh my
god when this in. And the first place we went
to go eat, they ain't had no table boys.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I had to sit at the bar, go towards the rary.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Really like they really tested your metal first day out.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Literally the first day I got out.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
To go to rehab in Florida or California.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I'm in Philadelphia. I mean it's Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Oh you were like in the woods, Karen, where there
are they're like rappers in there and Ship I was
the only one.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I think I was the first rapper to ever go there.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Oh really it was a bunch of like businessman and Ship.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, and and there's a lot of kids, so I
was getting noticed all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh shure, yeah, you're taking selfies.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I mean no, he couldn't do We couldn't. We couldn't
have a pone.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
We Oh Ship my friend did.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
He was addicted to percocet and he did rehab in Florida,
and he said the first day rehabs the best when you're.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
On pills because they give you all the pills. They
don't want you to go through withdrawal.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And yeah, die.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You know, if you're addicted to xanex or something, you
could seizure, and if you're addicted to opiates, you could
get you know, withdraws.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Showed up drunk, I was, I can't drunk.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah, what is detox? I think detox you from alcohol.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's just I mean, see I was.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I mean I actually was lucky because I didn't have
like withdrawal syndromes and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I think.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think that's mostly for people that drink beer because
they drink beer all day every day. And me, I
was just, you know, I drink a lot of liquor,
but it wasn't like I drink.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I fifth of liquor every day. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's probably like by the time I was going in
probably like every two days, every three days. But detox
is pretty much just like being in the hospital. You
just layd in the hospital bed watching murder shows. They're
checking on you every thirty minutes.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Are they giving you medicine so that you don't have
like a withdrawal kind of something or no.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Just I'm saying I got lucky. I didn't have any
withdrawal symptoms or nothing like that, so they didn't have to.
They just put me on like an anxiety medication because
I was just you know, I still was in there
for weed too, and.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We was like my anxiety go to.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
So they wanted to give me something, but I didn't need,
you know, like stuff for alcohol stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I didn't. I didn't have no messed up kidney, a
liver or nothing like that.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
So SHIP so they did blood work on you and
your health and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
SHIP they go up in your asshole they got. I
was in there, nervous, like man, all type of shit.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
There was people in there like fucked up, like some
people that were definitely alcohol definitely maybe like life or
alcoholics in there and like like you know.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Because they say, you just can't stop alcohol, just cold turkey,
you might die. You know, certain people they've been drinking
like that for such a period long period of time.
But I, like I said, I think for the most
part of the people that drink a lot of beer,
Like you got to think of a person that wake
up and they can't get out the they can't get
out of bed until they get a beer. Them type
of mothers like that was the ones that was really
like you can see them going through it.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
And they would be on these tapers.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
They called it taper medication, so they would have to
go to get tapers like we all had like medical,
go get medications and ship.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But I ain't get.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Tapers so that they could wean off of it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Yeah, that's what my perkosept friend said. He was like,
they give you all the pills at the front. I
was he he was in there for thirty days and
he goes and you get like less and less pills
each day or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
But he goes, but a lot of guys they're so addicted.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
They're like they're like hiding the pills in like the
corner of their mouth, and they're trying to like they're
trying to hide the pills from the whatever, the nurses,
I guess. And he said, like it's robbing Peter to
pay Paul because you you're only stealing pills from yourself.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
They're trying to wor what they do is they trying
to get enough so they can take a lot at
one time, because they're only giving you just enough to
not really be hiding like that. But if you saved
a few of them, you know what I'm saying, you
problem all at one time, you'd be like, oh, it's
lit
