How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Which he should have won. Um, But that's how long he's cared about this thing, right? And one of the great days was the introduction to you. And I was reading today in April of 2023, you guys had a setback with Alexandra's Law, okay? Before you get into that setback, can you tell the audience what Alexandra's Law is?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
the problems you had with it in April, and exactly what it does now included into Prop 36.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
It doesn't seem like it's hard to prove right now. Not now. There's somebody dying every seven minutes in this country.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
This, to the listeners, doesn't sound like common sense. Does sound like common sense. It doesn't. Because... Even the passage of this seems so light and so just ridiculous. Give me some examples if you know of them in red states that just aren't having any of this. Do you know anything like that? Well, in many red states, they've passed legislation that's actually tougher. That's my point.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Give me some examples, because that's where you're going to find the common sense. Right.

Okay, today's Fentanyl Awareness Day. And what we're going to do for that is we're going to honor the families who have lost their loved ones to fentanyl. And the best way to do that is to introduce you to a gentleman by the name of Matt Capilouto. But I know him as Alexandra's dad. So... Welcome, Matt. How you doing, man? Thank you. Thank you for having me, Rich. Appreciate it.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Very quickly. Yes, this was too harsh. The slap on the wrist was too harsh. Yes, the warning was. This is so funny. Dylan, we have to put this on the camera. Okay. We have to get a real, it's a get out of jail free card, just like you would have in Monopoly. This is genius. I like this. Chance, sell drugs, kill Americans, go directly to jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
And then you've got this. To our website. To your website. Yeah.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
This is actually what the judge or the bailiff will read these folks, these dealers being charged with this. Okay, this is good. Oh, okay, it's better. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I have a feeling that in some of these red states, it's like you deal fentanyl and you're like locked up for over a decade.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I want to go over the fentanyl thing federally for a second because I've been doing some research for a long time. And what I did was I was putting these things down and then I cross-referenced them with what President Trump is currently doing for the fentanyl crisis and what he's going to be doing in short order. And I'm very encouraged by what he's been doing.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
So the first thing he's done is he's disrupted domestic fentanyl labs and pill mills with DEA tasks, task forces. That's fantastic, right? He's increased funding to law enforcement for drug interdiction and border enforcement. That's good. Okay. He's strengthened the border detection tech and canine units at ports of entry. And really, I was just viewing the news the other night.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
The illegal entry into the United States from the southern border has essentially stopped. He expanded access to naloxone and makes it available over the counter. He's done more of that. Funded state-level harm reduction programs. Okay, that's not true. That's going on right now. He's not going to have an ear for that. Okay? And you shouldn't.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Because there's many ways to do harm reduction, right? Fentanyl strips are not the way to go, okay? Because they don't work.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Well, that's a that's this is a holistic plan, right? Yeah. And these are the things he's doing currently. Let me tell you what he's going to be doing. He is going to broker a deal with China to stop exporting fentanyl precursor chemicals. Okay. I've said all along that is the most surveilled country in the world. They know where everybody is and what they're doing at all times.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
They're looking the other way. Okay. And right now this is affecting our military. So it's a national security issue. If he hasn't already, he will be classifying fentanyl trafficking as a national security threat. He's going to be, if he hasn't already, designating Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. I think I heard something about that just recently. This is my all-time favorite.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
It's a big deal, huh? It is a big deal. I mean, I'm not crazy about having a day. Yeah. Okay? That seems kind of lame and, you know, gratuitous. Wish there wasn't a need for it. Well, I mean, every day should be Fentanyl Awareness Day. Tell me about Alexandra and what made her so special.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Authorize cross-border strike capabilities for cartel labs in coordination with Mexico. Or not in coordination with Mexico. I care not at all. I care not at all. Yeah, not at all. Okay. Launch a nationwide fentanyl education and warning campaign for middle and high schools, which is exactly what you and I are doing every day. Right? This is, you know, here's the reason.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
If you're not affected by fentanyl, if you don't have a child or a loved one who's gone, you don't feel it. Your life is busy. You're like, okay, this sucks. This is a bad deal. It's horrible. Right. You know, but it doesn't land. Right. And, and I've got young children. And it seems insane to me for parents with young children, youngish children, teenagers, early 20s.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
It's like, if you're not interested in this and you've had children, why'd you have children?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
And with your daughter, the important thing to know is she wasn't an active drug user. See, the people that are active drug users, fentanyl users, don't typically die because they know how to use fentanyl. It's the kids from college or high school that go to a party or whatever that are not sophisticated at this. They're the ones dying. So it's really harming the kids that...
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
And we're out of time because they're dying. That's why. Do you know we call this we're out of time? Great name. Well, because you. That's why. Dude, everything was because of you. Everything I've done after hearing your story, everything I've done is because of you. Let's go.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I want to finish this thing because I want to create some hope around this thing nationally because we're at a time where our president, okay, is not like other presidents. He creates a vaccine in nine months that takes 20 years to do. OK, he doesn't care about Congress or the courts telling him what he can't do. He's going to do what he wants to do. Right.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
You know, I call it a more modern democracy. It's going to be a modern democracy going forward. OK, that's just what this is. Real quick, mandate digital warnings on social media platforms where pills are sold, Snapchat, Telegram, etc. Okay, that would be amazing, right?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Right, but they're smart enough to have AA algorithms that when people are looking at that specific content, I'm not talking about an Elmo video or an unboxing video for five-year-olds, right? I'm talking about something that comes up in or around that subject. And then it's like warning where it's flashing. Okay. Support that 100%. And he's going to do it.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
And there's no reason not to do it because it's not around other content. So it's not going to affect their bottom line. This is something that needs to be done. I mean, it's come on. Mark, come on, man.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Alexandra's Law, or something stricter, obviously, nationally. Okay. And it is right now.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Wouldn't it be great if the president instituted something where the federal government had to oversee specifically that they were doing these cases and that they weren't just blowing it on?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
This is the perfect president for the fentanyl issue. He's perfect, okay, for this, okay? You cannot find a better man. You can't.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Okay. Create a fentanyl specific federal charge with mandatory minimums. He's doing it. launch a national treatment infrastructure build out 1,000 new centers in five years. I don't know if he's going to do that. It's a challenge. It's ambitious. I just don't know if that's in his wheelhouse. I do know this.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I do know that if he knew that there were building after building after building vacant at the VA, I know for certain he'd be like, Throw him in there. Treat those people. I mean, that man must be aggravated all day long.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Okay, and... I agree to that. There's more awareness around it, thank God. There's more access to Narcan.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
OK, that needs it needs to be hit on every level. OK, because that's how wars are fought. Right. It doesn't take a year to get off fentanyl. OK, depending on the length of usage and the amount of usage, it could take you a year to for your head to completely clear. OK, but it's rare, very rare. OK, this thing typically can be knocked out in 90 days.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
okay, with a good aftercare program because it's like anything else. If you don't use it, you lose it, right? You walk out of a treatment center on fire, I'm good, I'm going to kill it, right? And then, you know, 90 days later, they're back where they were because, you know, you don't go through 40 hours of treatment a week and then just walk into nothing. That's not reality.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
There's one thing I'll never know, right? But remember, you called me and didn't you want me to spend money on a billboard? Didn't you do that? Yes. Right?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Do you remember the day? November 5th, 2024. November 5th, 2024. Excellent. Now... When did it start gaining traction? At the beginning of 2024? Was it a little before that? Because I remember in April, in April 2023, you had that huge setback. So when did it start where you said, okay, this now has a shot?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
So if you're listening to this podcast... And you've had enough of that nonsense. There are the four people to get rid of as quickly as possible.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
But if you can drive a car at 16, okay, which it has deadly capabilities, okay, then you should be able to, like, can't you go to war at 18? Yeah.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Yeah. 16 and 18, 16 through 18 should be a different standard. Right.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
When did this thing start really taking hold? There was a taunt. Was it in 2024?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Where if you write out of the line this much, they don't count signature.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
So really what they're saying is there's 70% of the people in California who have common sense. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's good news. I didn't think that that was that high.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Let me just go back because these are people. This was a this was not a liberal movement. idea the liberals were very much against this in california so to have where 60 where two-thirds of the state is democrat to have 70 of the state say uh-uh this is a bridge too far you're dealing this stuff you're going to jail
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Drug offense dealing or using? Either. Okay, well, you can never lent those two, but go on.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Who the hell goes through... three convictions of anything. 99% of cases settle.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
That's not going to make a big difference. And the reason it's not going to make a big difference is exactly what I told you. Okay. They're going to plead. Okay. So they're never going to be in that situation. Now, a lot of the times the pleading will result in that. Yes.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
So that's not in there yet. No, it is in there. Okay. So what does it say? What is the definition of completely completed their treatment? Well, I imagine, you know, if it's a number of steps.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I don't know what that includes. So you'd have to read more in the details of Prop 13. I want you to send that. I don't want to put them on the screen. Because that's bull. And let me tell you, Walk, depending on how you define that, Okay. It doesn't mean anything. It's like saying, what is your success rate in a rehab? People ask me that all the time. I'm like, what criteria?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Because every single rehab uses a different criteria to serve them and make them look good. My definition is a year sober with regular testing every week. Okay, so that you know, you don't think you know, you know, you know, it's real, right? So a year sober, you know, six months in a rehab and six months in a sober living with outpatient. Okay, that to me sounds like, okay, you're good.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I would even say further, it might be an extra two years OK. Right. So if you fall in the next two years, it's not expunged. Right. So these are the types of things that I would be interested to know.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
But that goes back... That's not... That's illusory. Okay? It's illusory because... 98% or 99% are being settled out. They're not going to trial. They're not being arrested. You're saying they're not even being arrested? That's correct. Absolutely. You didn't say convicted. You said arrested. Arrested. Both. Both. 98% of the fentanyl dealers don't even get arrested. Absolutely.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
So they're out there and the cops are just, I don't want to deal with this right now.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
And we need to shift that. Why are they writing it up as an accidental overdose? How would they know? Why wouldn't they just write it up as an overdose and then let the legal process take its course? Because if it's marked non-criminal. There's no further investigation. What do you mean? How do you mark an overdose non-criminal before you've investigated it?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
OK, so but they don't know. So why not, Nathan? There's your next deal.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
The vast majority do not. Come on. I don't even know any here for this. There's nothing like, you know, this type of uh trauma and it's really murder it's poison it's not it's not they're not overdosed they're being poisoned right to death yeah so i've never heard of something like this and then somebody gets a an admonishment in court and people are like yay this is nonsense to me
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
But then you deal it again, but nobody dies. It doesn't take effect, does it? Well, if somebody does die, and they can- Forget that. In this scenario, the guy goes in, he sells fentanyl, nobody dies, he gets arrested, and he's read an admonishment in court. There is no conviction. It's- It's in stone. It's part of the deal. If you want to leave today, this is the deal you're cutting.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
And then they do that. Five minutes later, he's out on the street dealing again, but nobody dies. What did the admonishment... Well, keep in mind, so we mirrored our current... Forget that. I'm talking about the law right now.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
However, that's true and I'll tell you why that's happening. But true or untrue, you get an admonishment, you leave the courthouse before you hit the car, you're caught dealing again, you're arrested and back in court, but nobody dies. Other than what did the admonishment in that scenario mean?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
The answer is nothing, correct? If you don't, if you get the admonishment... I'm not talking shit about the admonishment, dude. I'm the president of the fan club right now about admonishment. Somebody doesn't have to listen to it. They don't have to. I understand. But they're setting themselves up for trouble in the future. I understand that.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
But true or untrue, does there anything different happen to them if they leave the courtroom, they just got the admonishment, they're back the next day, but no one dies?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Okay. That's good. That's good news. Right. I was hoping there'd be something because, you know, you said to yourself that there's not investigating a ton of these things.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
They'll start doing it now because now they have the support. Yeah. of knowing they're going to be convicted, right? Before they knew that it was a waste of their time. So why would they do it? I get it. And there's too many of their constituents who have now lost a loved one that are demanding it.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Now, let me tell you why there were so many people, okay, that stopped drinking and driving once the admonishment happened. Only five to 10% of the country rise to the level of drug addiction or alcoholism? Only about 10%. What does that mean? Well, there's the rest of us, the other 90% of us that have high bottoms. We're not dependent on it. We're not thinking about it all day, right?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
So those people immediately, over half of those people are going to immediately go, ah, never again. Those are the rule followers among us. And the rest, to various degrees, are going to be compliant. So because of that and because it's in our consciousness from back of mind to front of mind, what happens is you're always going to have a huge positive result when you do something like that.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I think I might have said something earlier in the podcast to conflict that and I was wrong.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
You and I both get caught drinking and driving. We both go in front of the court. The judge looks at you and says, Matthew, if you ever drink and drive again, you're going to jail for a decade. Do you hear me? And you're like, yes, sir, my ass is kicked. And you can actually make a decision in that moment. Never drinking and driving again. Me? I'm told that? I'm going to jail. I know it.
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I'm factoring it in. Go to jail. Right? I mean, check. Right? It's just a matter of time. So I don't have a choice. How can other families support your mission?
We're Out of Time

We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36

We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
Like you said, we're out of time. So before you go, I wanted to tell you about an idea I had, right, that I think would be really good. I want you to write a beginning, a middle, and an end to a documentary or a short film about your daughter and fentanyl. Don't get into the passage of anything and none of that noise, okay? Just how wonderful your daughter was, right?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
I'll want video afterwards of her maybe as a baby and with her parents and Pappy, right? And then... As she grows up and what made her so special, right? And then what happened? So a beginning, a middle, and an end, okay? I'm thinking 10, 15 minutes max, right? When you do that, I'll have it made into that movie, that short film, and we'll show it in every school in the country, okay?
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
How many times did you guys go through... the process of trying this psych medication and then that that didn't work or that didn't have a it did make her feel good and then went to the second one to try that and rule that one out and then go to the third did you have that experience yeah i'll tell you uh
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
think that's realistic okay well it's fentanyl awareness day so let's call it may june how's by july 1st so we can get this thing out let's call it uh september 1st okay huh good goal yeah you gotta set a goal yeah uh i think you know what that lines up well with everything here the beginning of the new school year
We're Out of Time
How Alexandra Capelouto's Memory Became A Focal Point In California's Prop 36
All right. After you write this thing, you start dealing with your school people and let's get it in your area first. Yeah.

It's built for physical pain, but it works better on emotional pain. And the reason she was using that and why she would have continued to use that is because if that quiets the mind and you're telling yourself what a piece of garbage you are all day long, this is wrong with me, that's wrong with me, all this other stuff, and it quiets the mind, you're going to do that until the wheels fall off.

You won't be there to say, this is where my daughter would have been X years. you know, old, this guy's been doing this forever. He said right here, he knew what he was doing. You think my daughter's the only one? You can't, you're not going to do that? There's nothing that can add to his sentence. No, but you can keep them there an extra year and a half.

Good. This guy gets a job. You should be taking 25% of his salary for the rest of his life. Okay, but let's get into a couple things because I wanted to talk about them. The first thing I was reading today because the DA Nathan Hockman introduced us well before he was, um, uh, running for DA. He was running for, um, attorney general for attorney general state of California. That's right.

Now, let me ask you a question. Then you went and bought the farm.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
You still have the farm? I still have the farm. What are you using the farm for? Nothing right now. It's just sitting there. Yeah, so I got to teach you something, right? I got to teach you something because I made that same mistake. And then my buddy Charlie told me something. I had 10 homes. And they were almost all sitting empty. And he looked at me. Really the same way? That's right.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
And he looked at me and he said, hey, listen to me. Abundance good, excess bad. Every home has to have a purpose. Now for me, that was like a spiritual experience. Right. Right? You don't know what you don't know. So. I'm like, what do you mean? And he said, well, you live in a house. Your children live in another house with their ex. You have to do something with these other homes.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
So I rented out six of them, now seven today. Okay. Seven homes. Okay. And now there's nine, right? And my home and the family home, right? But every home has a purpose, right? Seven of them are returning income, right? And two of them we need to live. Every home has to have a purpose, right? you have to figure out what to do with that farm.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
And if you want help with that when this thing's over, we'll talk about that. We'll find some ideas for that.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
You're bleeding money. You're not creating eggs. You're not creating vegetables. You haven't rented it out. And you're paying property tax, you're paying insurance, and you're paying a mortgage. So right now, you're getting your ass kicked. I am. For no reason. Okay? Now, you're a star player because you got a farm.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Yeah. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Okay, that's good. But you don't need a whole farm for that. You put a chicken coop in the backyard of... Yeah, yeah, that's true. I got goats.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
So let's talk about your drug use because you love your grandmother. Okay, and your grandmother is in love with her baby boy. That is for sure. You said you're still doing drugs. Okay, now I know you're smoking weed, but let's put that aside. Let me just ask one thing about the weed. Yeah, you make me emotional. Why, buddy? What made you emotional? What part of it?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
or what the drugs are doing to your grandmother. Yeah, that's what it is. That's right. Now, What drugs... Forget the weed right now for a minute. As long as you're getting weed at the dispensary, you're not going to die. They're putting fentanyl on the weed now, dude. On the street. Where the f*** could they sell weed on the street if there wasn't fentanyl in it?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Or it wasn't laced with something that makes no sense at all.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Anybody can walk into a dispensary. Okay? It's like legal. Right. Okay? So, that's... just don't buy it on the street. But what are you, what are you doing now?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
You know, do you know why that is? How long have you been doing it?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Oh, yeah, I do. I'm pretty certain I know the reason. And by pretty certain, I mean certain-cert. The reason you can't get sober or get off that, forget sober, the reason you can't get off the lean is because there are opioids. And if you do it every day for longer than five to seven days, you don't have it anymore. It's got you. So physically, you need it.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Of course, because you're a baby at 15. But why wasn't she living at home with her parents and you?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Because if you don't have it, you're going to get sick. Violently sick. You know that, right? Yeah. Okay. You want to stop doing it? Yeah. Well, you know what I do for a living, right? I mean... What do I do for a living?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
That's right. I get people off drugs. But anybody can get people off drugs. I keep people off drugs. That's the difference. So, you want to go into treatment today? Oh, you didn't see that coming, huh? You're on glue. What'd you think, man? I was going to let some guy in here dependent and sick, right? And just not go, oh, hey, see you later, dude. Good luck.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
You're going today. You're going to get well today. And you're never going to have to live like this again. Not ever. Not ever again. And as long as you don't pick up again, you're never going to need it again and you're never going to be a slave to it. Slavery ended in 1865. Okay? But you're a slave to drugs.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Yeah. the best laid plans go completely awry okay your intentions are honorable you want to get off of it it's not your fault that you can't nobody can nobody because people who stop doing what you're doing cold turkey they can die
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
from the detox right and depending on how long you've been doing it and how much you're doing it okay that's going to tell you pretty much whether or not you're going to drop and i didn't ask you those questions yet but i don't need to you're going to be assessed okay by nurses and doctors and you'll be fine okay you'll be fine you got health insurance Really?

Smoking hot, right? Yes. Yeah, bro. You're going. You want to go. And you're going to go. You're going to have a good life. and we'll talk about it off air. We don't need to do this whole thing here, but you're going to go. You love it. You want a life, okay? Your grandmother is in love with you.

Dude, you're missing it. You're missing it. The best time with my kids was between two and a half and six. You got another year that you're never getting back.

Same mother. And do you have her the majority of the time or no?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Do not. You will never forgive yourself. And then you won't stop doing these opioids. And the reason you're not going to stop doing it is because it works. They call them painkillers for a reason. It works better on emotional pain.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
than it does on physical pain physical pain I take four Advil and two extra strength Tylenol and I'm as good as you can be right okay but for emotional pain the pain you're in and the pain that you're gonna be in if you do this that's what the lean is for the lean is for so you don't have to feel and fall apart I swear to God, dude. I'm wrong about a lot of things.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Not if I'm opening my mouth about stuff like this, I'm not. But it's the only thing I know, so... If I wasn't good at this, I'd have no value at all. You know? You're not going to have to live like this anymore, I promise. You're not.

Listen, there are a lot of people that hide the ball when it comes to financial literacy. I'm not one of them. It's one of the reasons I love talking to the underground rap scene. They have no clue about it. And I definitely, I'm begging to teach them. Because... I've made so many mistakes and I want to make certain that others don't make them because a lot of people don't come back from it.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Now, I did, but I don't know if I'm lucky or gritty or resilient or whatever, but you want to be financially literate. Now, what I would do with my money, okay, is the first thing I would do is put it with a wealth manager. Okay. And they'll give you 5% in a special account, right? Something like that. Now that's not a lot of money, but think about it.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Let's say you have a million dollars and you're making 5%. Okay, that is 50,000 bucks a year. And you're like, wait a minute, 5%, that's nothing. Excellent. However, you have to put your money away somewhere. Okay, that's generating interest until you know what to do with it. What would I do with it? I would start dollar cost averaging.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
That means put in a small amount of money every single month into index funds. So it would follow the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 and the Dow Dow. Okay. And these three different exchanges, when you put it in over time, now you're going to probably get like 11% over time. Yeah. But it compounds on itself. It compounds on itself. You got a phone? Yeah. Open the phone. Okay.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
It's called compounding interest. Right? And all that means is my money's working for me. I ain't working for it. Okay? And you leave it there. And you leave it there over time. This is money that you're putting aside. And if you're working, you're putting aside whatever you can afford. Now, it has to be at least 10%. Okay? If you make...
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
10 grand a month and you only need five uh five grand a month to survive okay you gotta put away 10% and save the rest for a rainy day taxes whatever okay but you have to put that money aside if you only need three grand a month okay then you have to put the rest away okay because you only want to spend what you need right okay this is so exciting Are you excited?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Hey, buddy. Add 10 years to that for a total of 40.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Whatever. This is the way elegant men live. And you, sir, are an elegant man. I don't give a shit what fighting or how many violent exchanges you had. That's just part of what got you to right here, right now. And the only thing in life that matters is right here, right now. Because when you get to there and then, it's right here and right now, isn't it?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Off a million bucks and never putting in another dollar. Go find, go bust your, put a million dollars in dollar cost average on those three things. Every month you put in more money. Okay? And just forget about it. Because this is history. This is the history of our country. It ain't changing. Okay? That's what you want, big boy.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
We definitely gonna... Now, what you want to do is you want to start working all the time. Putting as much money away as you can because time matters. You saw the difference between 20 and 30 years. It was $43 million. Now, your first 30 was only 22. How the hell for another 10 do you get three times? Well, the way you do it is it's the magic of compounding interest.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
So what you want to do is you want to If you've got 50 grand now, put the 50 grand in now and then just keep doing it over time. Because if you wait till you have a million bucks, it doesn't work. But just know that if it takes you three years to put aside a million dollars, just know that the clock starts ticking. Now the clock starts really ticking. And the good meaning, the 40 years starts.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
You're 24, okay? And you said that you wanted to leave something to your children, did you not? Yeah. Or was that the last episode? I mean... Okay. All I'm saying is you want to. You want to leave something to your children. And after you do that, I'll talk to you about generational skipping trusts. So that way...
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Your child doesn't have to pay into exorbitant taxes and your grandchildren will have the money. And now all this bull stopped with you and you've got a new history to give to your family and leave behind. Because the only thing in the life, in our lives that matters, parents is making certain that our children are okay in the world when we're gone. and leaving this place better than we found it.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
So this was four or five years ago. Yeah. And you were 19. This must have just destroyed you.

I'm so much handsomer when people aren't wearing their glasses.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
That's exactly why I do this. Because you saw somebody you admired and you did that.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
But you're doing the same thing here. See, you're talking about your experience with drugs and how that doesn't serve you, how it's keeping you from being your best self, your highest self. And just like you were influenced by your buddy, These kids that listen to you are influenced by you.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
But yeah. Therapy done right is messy.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
So I don't know if you understand this, but there are kids out there because they're not viewing this for me. Nobody's viewing. Nobody's viewing this for me. They're here for you. Okay. And some of these kids are going to be like, you know what? That's cool. I'm not going to do that. Right.
We're Out of Time

Yeah. Some people know. Thank you for that. I was very kind.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Five, yeah. Five. Dude, you can't let your kids see you doing this. Nah, of course not. Let me tell you something, okay? This is a rule I learned not long ago. I mean, I'm slow, okay, but I get there. And I've been told for years this statement, and I blew it off. If there are people in your life that do not add value to your life, get rid of them. and truer words were never spoken.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life

We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
If you're with people hanging out with people that don't add value to your life, cut them loose. The end.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
No, he was on Trank. Yeah. That's the zombie drug, okay? What happens is they have this... And by the way, it's not animal tranquilizer. Let's just get that clear. It's not there to tranquilize the elephant. It's there to put the elephant down. It's meant to kill elephants, okay? That's what your grandfather was using. A drug meant to kill an elephant. Damn. Yeah, people don't understand that.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Now, let me explain something to you. They take fentanyl and they take this elephant tranquilizer, which is why they call it trank, and they shoot it. And then they lean over like that with rigid arms and they're just like their knuckles are dragging on the ground. And then it's a flesh eating drug because the other wasn't fun enough. So there's more.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
And you get these holes in your arms or in your legs, like big, like a baseball.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
And then what they do is they take it and they shoot it in that. And you can see the bone. And Narcan doesn't work on it. It doesn't work on it. Okay. That's why it didn't work. Okay. And he's lucky to be alive. He's beyond lucky to be alive. Yeah. At the time. But you know what the sad part about it is? Yeah. He woke up and he wanted to do another hit immediately. Do you know why?
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Because what feels the best is getting as close to dead as humanly possible without dying. How scary is that? that's what feels the best. So he, he was as close to dying as humanly possible. Woke up that feel the best, like, okay, time for another. And everybody else in the room is like white and like this and just freaked out. And he's fine.
We're Out of Time
I Was Raised By My Grandmother To Avoid Street Life
Cause you know, it's like, you know, when somebody walks into a room, lights the match and walks out and then everybody's like, that's what happens. He's fine. He left the room. Okay? Everybody else that's witnessing this is traumatized. He has no recollection of that. None.

We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
This weather is people. They come in just for the weather, just for the weather, just for the weather. That's right. So you have like in this day and age as an adult making music and out there and you have a friend who's buying, say he thinks he's getting a perk on the street. Is there any feeling of like this could kill me? It could have fentanyl in it.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
I might get it might be laced and I could die.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
If you're doing the perks or any opioids at all for longer than five to seven days, it's got you. You don't have it. Right. There's no more. You don't have a choice anymore. Right. And you have to probably get medical help. Absolutely. So let me ask you a question. Do you know any friends? You have friends who have died of fentanyl. Yes. Okay.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Just speak about one of them, about what it did to their parents or their family structure, because it destroys families. Yeah. It completely destroys. So I want to hear a little bit about something, if you know, about the pain it caused the people left behind.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Chef, thanks for coming by, man. I really appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Thanks, bro. So let's get right to it. You're in the rap scene, the underground rap scene. You got a lot of friends. You guys are doing that whole thing, right? Yeah, I'm a rapper. I'm in the industry. Okay. You see a lot of drugs, press books.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Okay. Um, you know, anybody who's suffering, uh, You send them over here. We'll find a spot for him. My treatment center, Carrera, is the finest treatment facility in the world. We're not getting anybody from the podcast. This is about just talking about drugs and the evils of fentanyl and how it's putting all of our children and our loved ones in harm's way. So that's all this is.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Come on, man. Hey, God, can you fix that? That's exothalamus. What does that mean?
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
It took a long time to learn how to do that. That figure will make your eyes pop out, though.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Listen, all seriousness, nobody can go to Carrera. I mean, we've got 18 beds. They're full. There's a wait list. It's always full. It's always a wait list. But there's 18. It's never going to be more than 18. We've got affordable centers that people can go for like 250 or $500 for a deductible and do that. But some people don't even have that insurance. Right. And that's what I'm saying.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
We've got this place called One Call Placement where you can call. Right? We don't get anything out of it. All we do is we find a spot for these people to get well, because if we can't help them and, you know, maybe we can help maybe 20% maybe of the people that call, the other 80% have to be referred out, you know? Yeah. We don't ever want anybody to feel like they don't have the money. Right.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Okay? Because $165,000 is a lot of money. That's a Porsche GT RS, twin turbo. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah, it is. But it wouldn't bring your kid back if your kid died of a fentanyl overdose, right? It wouldn't bring your kid back. I have friends of mine who, like you, remain nameless, made a ton of money, hundreds of million dollars in investment banking. And...
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Sadly, my friend passed away, and then their son just decided on a whim that he was going to try a perk that was laced with fentanyl, and he died. Yeah. If they had had Narcan there, this is a year ago. Now, if you said to them, $165,000 a month, we'll take your kid and get him clean, Don't think for one second they would have done it knowing what the outcome might have been, right?
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
I mean, no amount of money brings your child back. A lot of people don't know though, bro. A lot of people don't, they don't play through. They don't think it's going to happen to them and they don't want to part with the money. It's fine. Yeah, that's Steve, man. That's it. But they don't have to. That's the point. They don't have to because there's all these different levels of care.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
You don't have to pop for 165 clicks. Right. You know, if you've got a kid. Right. Okay. You know, that's for your wife. It's for you. Yeah. Okay. That's for your kid if you like them. Right? I mean, it's not for everybody, but everyone's got a place to go. And we got a list of everywhere we can send people because it's so hard, right? If you're calling on drugs, right?
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
And you've got that moment of clarity, you've just called 10 places and gotten jerked around. You don't want to get sober anymore. Right. You want to get loaded because this is- Right. It's most crazy. Yeah. You know what I mean? Anyway, I want to ask you a couple of questions. Did drugs or alcohol ever play a role in your life? Yes. Tell me about it. Oh. The most recent?
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
That's the Kickstarter. Go. You go. It's a main one. If you had to say like, this is what most people are doing.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Yeah, for sure. Did it kill anybody? But I want to hear. So you said that because of that.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Okay, but hold on a second. Let's see if he knows why. Why? Why did marijuana open? Yeah, why is the marijuana the gateway drug for you?
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
Okay. It's very social. Let me ask you a question. Did you get high enough on the marijuana?
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
That's the answer right there is the escape. That's actually a rabbi. who said that drug alcohol use is rooted in someone's uncomfortableness in self and whatever that's related to, be it trauma or, You know, family dynamics, whatever it is. Can you look back and say, like, I was escaping from a. Oh, yeah, for sure.
We're Out of Time
Chef Boy Bonez Reveals His True Self
One, what was the that that caused you to use to escape from? Is it anything you can talk about? Can you answer it with your eyes out? No, no. Yeah. That scared me. You know, you're running out the door. Don't do it again.

Do you like, one of my favorite things, because I haven't seen Saturday Night Live in years. It's good right now. I did watch... the last couple years. I love that, the thing that Dennis Miller used to do with Michael Che and- Colin Jost. Yes. When they write each other's stuff. Oh my God, it's amazing. It's the best thing I've ever seen.

Let me ask you a question. Have you known anybody who's died of fentanyl? Fentanyl overdose?
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Don't care. The only far you get when you play it forward, when you're using, is you think about the detox and you're like, uh-uh, I'm going to keep using. I mean, that for me, if you play this, if you play it forward, you can only think as long as I'm running out of drugs, I'm going to come down. Right? So I better keep using drugs.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
I mean, for me, you know, every time I played it forward, I was thinking, you know, I'm gonna be suffering.

You've done remarkably well. Like you were doing, you were always functioning, right? I mean, you were 22 years old. You were doing drugs the entire time. I was drinking, drugs were like 2000 teens. But you still came out the other side beautifully. I mean, you've got a great wife. You've got great kids. Oh, now for sure. You've got great recovery.

That's the only way is through a commitment. If you don't have a contract with yourself to go when you don't want to go and to do what you don't want to do and push through it, you can't stay sober if you're an alcoholic like me. If you come in surrendered already, right? anybody can get you sober, okay? Because you've already surrendered.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
You're willing to do anything and everything to stay sober.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Handsome Tuesday.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
All right. In your best Chris Walken voice, will you please look into this camera and say... You're out of time.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Explain that. And he can feel that way because it works for him. Right. Okay? And his life depends on it, so he's got to think that way. Okay? But... A lot of it comes from our early childhoods. Well, for sure. Right? And that's an external thing. And, you know, in AA, they talk about how, you know, our parents did the best they could, right? Even if they didn't.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
You have to say that in order to codify it in your brain. But what happens is, so for example, you're five years old. Now, remember when you were five, you were little. And everybody was big. Remember? Okay. So if you have your father going, shut up, I'll give you something to cry about. And he smacks you or he hits you with the belt or in my case, the cane with the brass handle, right?
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
It's like, you can't formulate the thought, my parents are idiots. Because... your frontal cortex isn't developed. And not only that, but you're like, if these people don't love me, if they're the ones that have me, what am I supposed to do? I must be bad. You can't say anything other than because your frontal cortex isn't developed, I must be bad. And if you're bad, okay,
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Every time you get disappointed, every time they hit you, every time they say, shut up, are you stupid? Or whatever they say, it reinforces itself. And pretty soon you're a 45 year old man You know, and your five-year-old self is running a 45-year-old man. And that's what I, but that doesn't make you a victim or for me, it doesn't make me a victim.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Hi, everyone. Before we dive into this great podcast with Jay Moore, I wanted to talk about something urgent. The fires in Los Angeles have been devastating and displaced so many, including those in treatment. If you or someone you know needs treatment during these horrific times, please call us. With our company, One Call Placement,
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
And the reason it doesn't make me a victim is because I can say, okay, that's what happened Okay, I'm the adult now, I'm the parent now, and I'm not gonna be a victim. And the genius is that you figured that out and you stopped lying to yourself. And once you can get that, It works. But the thing about AA is it's always the same. And it's my foundation, man. I'm not sober today without AA.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
I'm not. Okay. I don't have kids. I'm not, you know, none of it. I mean, I've been given a life, right? But The problem sometimes with AA is they feel it's the only way. Everybody's an expert on their own sobriety. And they have to believe that way because their life is dependent on it. So I understand it.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Dude, I was so, this is the household I was brought up in, and you'll be able to tell exactly why it turned out the way I did.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Yeah, he just had to beat the shit out of his tweens. That's all.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
I must give you a lashing now. Oh my God, it was so bad. Where'd you grow up? In Encino, which is, again, scarring, right? Yeah. I can't even drive through the valley, man, without having anxiety. Yeah, it's the world's biggest consolation prize.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
That's pretty good too. It's an island for a reason. My parents would put all three of their kids in the car after they feathered our hair. and they put us in the same outfits. Like I remember this jean outfit from head to toe with all these studs all over it. So we were like- I wanted this family. We were props. Feather hair and denim. Right? And then-
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
They put us in the... I was thinking... No, no, no. It's horrible. They put us in the Jew canoe and they roll up the windows and they're smoking, chain smoking Marlboro Reds while their three minor children are in the car asphyxiating. And I'm Jewish. So you would think they'd be like against that, right? Asphyxiating their kids. And...
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Then the only time they opened the windows because my mom had this big pompadour, right? It was spray and wasn't moving. They rolled down the windows to throw the McDonald's, the poison that they were feeding their kids out on the freeway. So these are my parents. And that's the good part.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
We will have people actually help you find the right treatment center for you. Please don't wait. We're out of time.

Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
Because I've been dying to know something, okay? This is like really, like you had a bucket list, this is mine. Tell me about the tire iron, okay? That's all I care about.
We're Out of Time
Jay Mohr Overcoming Victim Mentality & Checking Ego in Addiction Recovery
It is. When we're older, it's scary.
We're Out of Time

We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
Now I heard that, but wait a minute, let's go back. You were in jail from 18 to 19. Yeah. Right. And then you immediately started to continue to do drugs until what age did you go into the sober living home? Until I was 28. Okay. So you lost nine years. Yeah. Just lost them. They're gone. Yeah. Nothing positive during that period of time. Yeah. Not moving up in your career, not nothing.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
Straight to heaven. All right. How'd you get to the recovery center?
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
And then you had this internal compass to where you knew intuitively, I feel the pull, so I'm going that way. I go against what feels not good to me anymore. That's what I'm hearing. I'm just not going to go in the direction any longer that doesn't feel clean to me.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
So you were genuinely remorseful. You genuinely had a spiritual experience in that. Nobody's going to believe it. I believe it a thousand percent because it's happened to me on many occasions. But go ahead and try to tell that to the average guy on the street. They look at us like we're insane. Right. Um, that's a beautiful story. Tell me about where you met your wife.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
Cause I see that you, you always say, well, my wife and I, right. It's not you. It's, you know, you've referred to this as family business. Um, It's clear you're in love with your wife. How'd you meet your wife? At church. I met her at church. Okay, I swear I saw that coming.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
We would take them into the recovery homes. So you'd go pull people right off the street and put them in recovery homes. How could you pay for it? How were you able to afford to give these people the care that they needed?
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
So there was no red tape. The church was just like, go bring these souls to us and let's care for them. That's exactly right. And you had other people. Dude, you're going to make me start crying. I don't even know what world I'm living in anymore.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
And I just beat the hell out of myself all the time because I can't do more. We can afford three people for free at a time to take care of, right? But it just, it never feels good, man. Anytime you leave someone behind, it never feels good. You know, that's why I love this church thing.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
And when she was passing, I put her in this place and I went to see her that day. And she says, Richie, I don't want to be here. I want to be at home. With my family, I said, of course, I didn't know better. And I went in to the woman who owned the place and I'm like, look, I need all this stuff at her house. Oh, well, you've already paid for this and it costs more to be here.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
And I'm like, hey, I didn't ask you for anything back. We're freeing you up a room. Good for you. Just get her back home and we're going to have all this stuff there. Okay. She's like, no problem. So she's going to go the next day. And this chaplain comes in and he's talking to this woman. And Lydia just looks at me while he's in mid-sentence. And she says, I don't know this man.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
And I'm like, come on, please, please. And she listens to him for another 10 seconds. And she looks at me and she goes, I don't know this man. And he looks at me and he says, well, what does that mean? And I said, that means thanks for coming. So I showed her, so I showed the guy out and I'm like, what do you want from me?
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
He's in a church in the valley. I don't know where it is and I do not know his name, but that's the man I want to see. So I'm like, no problem. I'll figure it out, honey. And I walk out of the room and I go right into the stairwell and I just start crying. Like, where am I going to find this guy?
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
That is part of Mexican culture for sure. Yeah. That is the one thing. I was doing workers' comp law back in the day. And I was representing 16,000 Hispanics. Okay. It was rare where we did an MRI on somebody and didn't see anything.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
So it's been five years already. Every year, this man gets the same letter and a thousand dollars.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
He was a godly man. And that's the difference. He would have said something to me like, I'm sorry, man, I can't do it because I got to prepare for this talk or that. Dude, you don't have to prepare for anything. Okay, what comes out of your mouth is what God wants out of your mouth. Get over here. And he did it.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
That's faith. Dude, I would have gone and grabbed him. That guy was coming. He had no choice. He just didn't. Put him in the van. He didn't know. He didn't know he had no choice. That guy was coming. Hop, tie him, throw him in the van. For sure. That's what I'm talking about. No, no. I would have duct taped him to a coffee table and just lifted the coffee table, put it right in the van.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
Yeah, that was a good man. All right. I appreciate you coming on the show and telling me about your story. Why? I mean, I'm grateful. Don't get me wrong, because it's what we do here. We're the redemption show, and you're a great story, fantastic story. But why here? Why did you decide to do this for us today? I believe in timing.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption
discs that were bulging or wow it was rare and they never said anything and the reason they never said anything is because the feeling is if i'm not hurt then i'm not really working that's that's the mindset that's the mindset yeah very now if you if you disrespect them in any way, shape or form, now you got a problem. Okay. But physically they're working with busted backs and everything.
We're Out of Time

Dude, every day. From every woman I've ever been with.
We're Out of Time

Did you get arrested when you were a kid? I was. Did you go to jail? I did.
We're Out of Time
Rock Bottom to HGTV: Izzy Battres' Journey of Faith and Redemption

The public sees them as horrifying. But when we sit in a room in AA and we're listening to this, we're hysterical.
We're Out of Time
Meet the Youngest Radio DJ In History with an Inspiring Story Shadoe Stevens
Life is good. I always tell that to people. I always say, and everybody does, but it's the truth. If it was a better deal to get loaded, then I would be loaded. You know, in AA, we both love AA. I love AA. But I haven't been in 20 years. I haven't been. I said something the other day in a room full of doctors and psychologists.
We're Out of Time
Meet the Youngest Radio DJ In History with an Inspiring Story Shadoe Stevens
They were saying something, I don't remember what they were talking about, but I said, look, unless you can give someone a life that is better or more valuable than the life they had when they came into treatment, they can't stay sober forever. The end. Yeah. And, you know, a lot of those people were in AA and they didn't like what I had to say.
We're Out of Time
Meet the Youngest Radio DJ In History with an Inspiring Story Shadoe Stevens
And they didn't like what I had to say because it wasn't one of the things that they've heard over the last 30 years in a room from a podium or from the shares. And I was like thinking to myself, man, The problem with alcoholics is that everyone who's sober thinks they're an expert on alcoholism and recovery, and they're not. They're only an expert on their own recovery.
We're Out of Time
Meet the Youngest Radio DJ In History with an Inspiring Story Shadoe Stevens
I learned. And it was intuitive. I learned the difference between AA and treatment before I got into treatment was when you walked into treatment, it was tough love. And when you walked into AA, whether they knew it or not, it was all love. Right? Because you walk into AA, it is the worst day of your life. No question. In that moment, you're a loser and your life came to this. Right.
We're Out of Time
Meet the Youngest Radio DJ In History with an Inspiring Story Shadoe Stevens
And you are full of nothing but shame. Yeah. And intuitively, these guys just knew, come on, get over here. Shh. you're going to be fine. I promise. And that's what I took from AA into our place because these people are so shame-based coming in that to kick a horse when they're down makes absolutely no sense to me at all. None. Love is everything.

And I got that from AA because when I walked into AA, Nobody wanted me around. I was such an asshole when I got to AA because my model was so bad. I didn't have any friends.

We're Out of Time

But people will grow it basically. Yeah. But why not do it? Why not get it from a dispensary?

So I'm telling you that's a thing. So, what would make me feel more comfortable is if you only got that stuff at the dispensary. Because once you get it at the dispensary, dispensary is not going to take any of that stuff.
We're Out of Time
Suigeneris On Music, Family & Staying Grounded In The Spotlight
Because if they do, they're going to lose their license. You just have to make certain... It's a legit dispensary and not one of those pop-ups, right? And then they're open until they get shut down and then they pop up somewhere else the next day. That's what happens.
