 Jews are people too, dude. Welcome back to the show. How are we doing? Welcome back Adam and see our podcast to anything you want to say Where do I look is there that one that's me, okay, you look at me how we doing how we feeling I feel good man. How do you feel great? We had a great weekend, huh? Not together. Oh, I had a topic. Oh, please Should we just jump right into it? Yeah, why not? You could because you do all that editing Magic I had a I had one at least that I remember off the top. I have it in my notes. We look real quick. We had oh Prayer prayer we had prayer now. I understand the meaning of church. I get church. Keep the mic there Remember when you look at me Like yeah, I've broken now. You know what's interesting about podcasts What when you have a microphone you have to be like Batman you ever seen how Batman turns is Like we have spina Bifida spina what? Scoliosis scoliosis of the of the liver Okay, here we go. What topic do you remember? Oh, I wrote one down that I wanted to bring up to see your thoughts on it Let's go. Let's dive in Working on your self-worth. Yeah, but staying humble Yeah, what's the balance between that and how do you act like you're worth a ton? But stay humble when you talk to people or when you yeah, do things well So let me first go with what I was taught right, which is when Tiger wins Tiger Woods wins the Masters right and they're asking him questions and like Tiger on the 17th hole. You made birdie. How did you make that incredible shot? You never see him go? Aw gee shucks. Well, you know, I just hit the ball and it happened to You know get the right bounce and the wind took it and went in he'll look at the reporter and say I've practiced that shot 10 million times ever since I was a little boy with my dad Right, right. So it's like owning all the work you did But at the same time you and I are very charismatic polite And I think if you combine the two You don't come off arrogant or egotistical, but you're allowed to own your own gifts That's the balance. I want to talk about it's like Helping people own that because I started to do it and it's been great and I've but I took so long because I didn't want to come Off egotistical or come off I don't know. Well, you probably had the same thing. I like I used to think humility was The way Christopher reeve portrayed clark kent as superman Right, you're still going. I'm just gonna see you. Well And we're back Go ahead. So I used to think oh wasn't recording. No, it was good recording. I just wanted to see the time so we know How long it's going I remember thinking humility Was the way Christopher reeve portrayed clark kent in the movie superman Which was you know mild mannered humbled reporter and what he did was he acted less than dumb silly ridiculous, but He was trying to disguise that he is not the most powerful man in the world So I tried to do that You know and what it did was it made me very It was a it was false. Humidity humility and it was passive aggressive How was it false humility? Well, I wouldn't let people really know Who I am and what I did right and then like I would show them the family business and then it would be like Wham, you know, I mean like like oh, yeah, I'm that guy, right, you know, I mean so It was false humility because I knew what was coming. I knew that I was gonna wow the superhero. Yeah Yeah Yeah, so it was it was false. You know, I was I was planning on wowing them Have a funny story. Go ahead. Remind me of clark kent. I was watching the sabastian podcast sabastian and peter They were cracking up and he was saying how you ever um, he was like Mentioning aches and pains to another guy when he was like at some party or something like that He was saying you ever get like he's like my back's acting up and the guy's like, no, I get nothing And he's like and the guy that he was talking to was like and i'm 54 And he was like all of the case like he said like i'm supposed to say great There's something like that and he's like and then sabastian was saying that I believe in pete was like Um, yeah, he's like I want to have some guy time talk about our aches and pains. I didn't know you were clark kent all of a sudden And it was so funny the way he's off to show you that sabastian is the cancel guy that we were talking about No, no, that's christelia Sabastian's the italian man. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. So their podcast is amazing. It's kind of like us. Yeah Yeah, we're kind of catch up. We're gonna catch up sabastian. We're coming and we're sorry that we passed you so quick We should probably apologize right good So that's what we're sorry. Yeah, you've worked your ass off. It's been a long career hard working career We just have the skills. Yeah, and that's how you do it. That's how stay humble. Stay humble Stay a little But you own your gifts Yes, the big part about the only gifts that I like is that people want to have the experience and then Then feel the Power but you have to own the power and then you embody it You know, you have to like act as if you have the power even if you don't feel it in the moment Sounds sexual. Well, that's how it goes. You mean that's how it is. So wait you what? You want like even okay, so Say you want an experience Yeah, and you say when this experience comes it'll make me feel Right, great. You have to feel great and then the experience. I agree. Yeah, we have it backwards Yeah, so i'm trying to topsy-turvy the universe topsy-turvy topsy-turvy the other public But it's true. We have it upside down. Yeah, we have it completely upside down It's kind of like the god thing by the way, not that I always have to bring god up I will it reminded me of the higher reality that you always talk about because the higher reality you you create it You don't live in this reality and then you act you act and then shapes it. Absolutely and people want the Evidence of god Before believing in it. That's great. That's good And it just doesn't work like that and what's cool is that it it doesn't work like that It works the other way, but it's cool that it works the other way because it's like magical It's like once you know what else I've heard. No, I'm sorry. No, that's it But uh, I didn't mean to cut you off good But the other thing is when you're not a full believer What I found is every single time that you're trying to make somebody believe or not excuse me Every time you're trying to show that there is a higher reality and that there is a god and there is a higher power When they want to sign up for it every coincidence that happens. They just Go oh, it's a coincidence. Right because they don't believe Like you have to believe first then all of a sudden the magic happens One of my favorite ways because this is what I learned with you as well as you can't convince somebody They have to go find it on their own But what's fun to try to help them the for the people that want to try to live in the higher reality is like Help them start to notice the coincidences and just talk about them like really think about how that came to be Like the astronomical way This lined up for that to happen to this to happen that happened happens sometimes Oh, great. That's a crazy coincidence and then you start to notice more of them It's like, how many does it gonna take? Yeah for you to be like It's not a coincidence You know, it's okay. We have 100 That should be a that should be a vocabulary word Okay, this happened. What's the mathematical like the law? I was very logical too. That's what led me to that too It's like, okay. This is literally like statistically impossible yet. It happened multiple times. What are we doing? While I enjoy these conversations, do you feel that you're constantly thinking I want the microphone in front of my mouth? No, I'm just a natural dude. I've been doing it for a while by the way. I've been always talking on mics Everybody knows everybody knows Hmm Because I find myself wanting to To be myself Yeah, yeah, so what do you do instead? How do you be yourself you go like this? I yeah, I would feel I'd feel better I'm gonna strap it to your neck so you could just talk with your hands Well, that's the thing when we have a studio you'll have it on the stand and you could just be like this I can't wait to have a studio Look, you can talk like this too, and you know that this works. I have my full hands now. I got freaking crisp audio now That's pretty sweet I'll steal this joke from christalia. This is respectful It is respectful because I'm feel at home Absolutely if I was all like this you'd be like relax, dude I would I would feel weird, right? I want you to feel like you're home Let's go over your week. How was your week? Um, what did I it's been a busy week. Tell me less sleep than usual Oh, that's big for you. Well, yes, it is. So how do you feel about that? Good. Okay, especially because it's like It's all for good reasons like it wasn't it was like by design I had extra work to do I had friends and people to hang out with that I wanted to and experiences that are rare more coincidental that you're like you gotta jump on them And yeah, it was just great So but I'm excited to get back into like a routine because it's not that it was out of my routine But it's like you you can't live in like a fairy tale at all times Right, but that's what life's about is finding the fairy tale moments. Yeah I don't know if I can sign up for that though. Not all the time or you want to live in a fairy tale all the time Designed fairy tale. That's what we're living. You know what? Oh, remember when you said you don't worry anymore. Tell him real quick Yeah, well, I've been working on that by the way I've had a few relapses But still it's a practice. It's still good. I never forgot it. I never forgot I made a commitment to stop worrying because what I realized was As I analyzed my life and all my past behavior as Steve takes his pants off As I analyzed my life and all my past behavior Worrying never did anything good for me So, why do I do it? So I made a commitment to stop worrying now. I've had a few relapses on that Where things just pop up and my brain wants to take over and Control and play out scenarios that may or may not happen and play chess But really it's such a waste of fucking time And I think the awareness of that you're not going to do it that when you start worrying you relapse You'd be you could say to yourself. I'm worrying right now. Why is that? And then you can tap back into the higher reality and be like I'm designing my fairy tale. Yeah I think I think people have an addiction to worrying. Yeah Well, oh you watch a social dilemma, right? No, you didn't I did not watch the social dilemma We might have to watch it and then recap it because I love that. Okay, so you have to watch it. It's your homework You want to give me homework? Should I watch as good as it gets? Yes, we want the viewers to tell us wasn't you this is the homework for the viewers and listeners Find a movie that inspires you or that's good for you that you know Will help you in that higher reality and think deeper about it and go watch it by next Whenever this airs a week from when you hear this message. Yeah, that's their home. That's how we do homework I love that homework. It's good. I wish justice league was my homework, but I understand the social dilemma But have you watched justice league? Not the new one was so maybe that's our homework together Four hours long six parts live adam and steve Black superman I had um, what's happening? Oh So I want to engage with them more We will and I think it'll be live within the comments and when they when we blow up It'll be like the whole audience and auditorium and there'll be like a spectacle basically. Yeah I want to break the third wall fourth wall No, no, no, no, no, I know about the fourth wall But that third wall I want to break the shit out of it. All right. Yeah, I don't know the walls Can we go through them? No, I really I think I fucked up the same But I doubled down on the third wall one me and you or we want to What is wall one? But I think you're right break the fourth wall But boy if I'm right, I'm gonna I hope we have the footage that's what's great about these things because I'll rub it in All right, so I want to get back to the worry thing where I said you stopped worrying because I had a cool realization About a similar sentiment which was I don't go on vacation anymore Because your life's a vacation. I love that I live and when people say Work in or this I'm like, I just live I love that Because I really don't because it's my choice and that's a big one is that like if I want to go to the beach If I want to take a vacation, it's always a choice if you're busy That's a choice. Yeah, if you have work to go to that's a choice If you want to live in the higher reality you make the choices. Yeah You know what I learned what you would think maybe at 44 years old. I would have known looking sharp kid 44 people thought we were brothers, dude twins get the fuck out of here. Nobody said that. This is adam and steve Which one steve? Which one's adam? You know what one guy said one one guy says siamese twins siamese twins. Yeah, so at 44 years old I can't even take that compliment. Okay, so I can't even take it attached. It's so far out there Far out did um The uh What were we talking about? I don't fuck about I'll get us back. I love this game. Here we go Vacations Yes, I have it. That was it. Okay. So at 44 years old you would think That I would have known keep going just double checking We're good. We're good. We're good. Sweet. Sweet at 44 years At 44 years old you think I would have known this. Yeah, but you don't know shit That's true. A. I don't know anything. I don't know anything that's happening. But right now at this moment I'm living my dream But I'm working harder than I've ever worked before right which is weird I feel the same way actually, you know what I mean? Like I thought Maybe in my dream state or when I had this vision. Yeah That I don't know. Maybe I thought it would be not easier. I knew it. I knew that there would be a challenge I just maybe I wasn't aware Of how much consistent hard work it is to live your dream. Yes I think that was something I realized as well sort of recently of like It's not like live your dream and then it ends No, it's like how do you maintain the dream? That's a good one That's a great and I had the same feeling and what I think what's the only difference though of when you're living the dream is that you You're so motivated to keep it going even though you're working harder Right, it's like the the the reasoning behind the the work ethic gets more fulfilling instead of like Um, you have to do it, you know, and you know what I think you just This is what you made me think of I hope people actually really do watch this and listen to this I was one person is that I when I was running the family business, which I was very good at but wasn't my purpose wasn't my dream, right? I would be very very disciplined and committed to certain things like waking up early Prayermentation all the stuff you and I do training early all this stuff but That stuff was more I I needed it selfishly because I wasn't fulfilled at work. Okay now That stuff is fueling my work And I start realizing oh This is what the rock is all about Like we all look at him like how do you do it? Well, he's having the time of his fucking life, right? Do I mean? Yes. He's having the time of his fucking life. Yeah You know, he needs that anchor he needs that training because he's about to go to a movie set He's very happy on the movie set, but he needs to work also to be with his kids. He loves being with his kids Yes, you know me and it all builds. Yeah, so for me before it was a way of relief prayer meditation Exercise all the things that you and I talked about it was a way it was a form of relief From the daily Grind, but it wasn't it was a grind because I wasn't fulfilled to what I'm doing Right now. This is my fuel. Yes. I love that. That's amazing. That's how I feel as well as like The things you get to accomplish because you do the work Fulfill you and it's just an never-ending. It's a never-ending. It's a great It's never ending. It's a loop. It's a double entendre. If I double entendre If we throw the rock in isn't that a triple entendre the rock well, yeah Well, we could throw anybody in another rocks a good one, but I had the rock already And I want to be the next person to use a triple entendre after jay-z. Do you think you'll talk to the rock on a podcast? Within the next five years, I think we would have a great time talking to him. Imagine his big asset right here We're both like one fucking. I'd be so intimidated Giant Can I touch your can I touch your arm? You want keto? Yeah Yeah, I think we'll meet him. I really do actually you still jerk off And we're back I don't know how you beat your dick with those fucking arms anyway back to uh, I'm gonna put a picture of the rock here Oh my dude, you've got a problem anyway What would you really ask him if he was here? Um one question like if you on the podcast one question for the rock No, not just one, but like what would you really want to talk? You get you get to spend 30 minutes an hour. Okay. All right. My first question would be Now that you're this guy, right? What is the Explain to me What the money feels like because I got to tell you nothing he does seems like he does it for a profit motive I feel like he does everything from his heart From inspiration and it brings him the money and at one time this guy was so broke He actually called his company Seven bucks productions because he was down to his last seven bucks. So now that I believe he's had that he has that totally figured out the financial part Does he is there anything that he actually ever does for money or is it all because he just loves what he's doing And it makes money Yes, and that's another flip when we were talking about with the higher reality. Yeah when you do stuff That's worth a lot of energy The money comes in a form of energy or energy comes in the form of money Yeah, so instead of going for the money and then doing the things that give you energy Do the things that give you energy and the money comes. Yeah That's a good flip. That's so that would be the main thing like I would I would really want to know Is there one thing that you've done This something's burning the fly. Okay Is there one thing that you've done in this past year? Let's say Is this boring you no, no, I'm thinking. Oh, I don't think That you've done only and specifically for the financial reward. What if he's like What if he's like all of it? He's like all the fucking movies. Yeah. Yeah, man. I hate it. It's all of it training the diet Fucking sucks, but I love being rich That's all Show me the money. Hold on Breather I would ask him I want to know his weird hobbies Like we know he trains. We know he does acting. We know he's a good guy Does he do anything we wouldn't expect? Like would he Like does he Play the ukulele or a porn addiction? That too, what if he's severe, but he's like, but I'm doing okay with it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm doing probably he's like It keeps me sane Would you would you advise him to stop or would you be like keep doing whatever you're doing? Do it until you know, I mean like burn it out. Hey, you know There is something about if it ain't broke don't fix it, right because it's kind of like this Not everybody that drinks Has an alcohol problem, right? You know, like you had a glass of wine last night. Did you ever think for one second about alcoholism? No, right People that talk to me about oh, I'm doing this and this and this Usually they already that awareness means there's something that we have to look at, right So one of the biggest lessons I learned from your book And just from you was that the powerless feeling Noticing like when you're powerless like when you when you say you're gonna do something and it doesn't happen Or you say one and you have more over and over again It's like at one point you're just at some point you have to be like I can't why can't I do this It's the worst feeling in the world having said that The flip side that a lot of people don't look at is once you actually admit that powerlessness is it this is tapping in That's when you get all the power You know because you're relying on something higher And and that's where many of us in recovery Talk about god and faith and higher realities and spirituality over and over and over because We all know All of us that we could not stop period period And then all of a sudden you do something like get on your knees and say a prayer something like that and it's removed So you you feel powerless and then you get all the power in the world. Yeah Which is huge the only time I'm powerless again Is if I put a drink in my mouth And there are people This is what I'm gonna say by the way in this podcast is controversial and where I where I go We only do controversy on it. We keep it on the edge. That's it the holocaust 9 11 in this statement. We're getting to it Is You know, some people will say that you're powerless over people places and things which I don't buy at all And my teachers don't buy at all Like oh, I mean like if you and I go walk down there with an oozy right now at the pool We can powerless over people now I can get I can knock them out easy You know what I mean? So we're not powerless over people. We're certainly not powerless over the place You know, but some people believe that and I think it almost would be an example that they are Though because I could feel like that some people could be powerless over people I think where they're going with the whole thing is like, um, somebody upsets you Something happens. Oh, like you really can't stop thinking kind of like what you and I went through in the whole people pleasing Not well, that's good for you and I too but in the whole, um, metro gray thing Oh retrograde right retrograde That's a combo of the lace factory and the planets It's that retrograde. It's like you feel powerless. You're like you can't I you you can't stop at the ac from right your right, right, right So I think that's where their intentions are when they say it But still there's not it's not true because you're you're capable of calling the guy that can fix it Which is the maintenance man I Thought you're gonna say something profound like the higher power Well, we're almost at Half an hour. All right, what should we what should we wrap it for the week people who listen to this? How do we have them have a good week or wherever that whenever they're listening to this? What's the last thing we should let them Do you want to talk to them about your nutrition or anything like that? No, I don't know. No Um, you had good nutrition. You had good nutrition. Yeah, I had great nutrition this week New levels. I feel like you and I are in his zone. Yeah, we're in his zone lately. What zone would you call it? Green zone the orange. Yeah, I think green or they weren't right like like Matthew McConaughey We're in a green lights, baby. Hit him with that Cool All right, all right That was good. That's a motherfucker. I'd like for us to meet. Yes, let's name some other people. So Matthew McConaughey What would you ask him? Oh, I don't even know where I'd begin. What's up, dude? Yeah, what are you? What's what's the deal? Yeah Was you know what I'd ask him the fuck the way he's so profound what I'd want to know Come on was was this someone always division Was this someone like his something about like, you know, one time he said he even said he wanted to be a preacher like yeah He's the one guy in Hollywood that I would be like, oh, oh, he influences thought that makes sense That makes sense. This is the guy that I thought would do it. Right And you're saying this did he see that for himself always? Maybe. Yeah, like was Are you is he comfortable going there and saying like did you did you see yourself kind of Going on this type of platform. Yeah before it happened Because I I believe yes like what what inspired him to write that book what inspired him to always go into these monologues Yeah, like, you know, what is that? Yeah, like I think something was kind of calling him that he it was going to be deep His message was going to be deeper than acting. Yeah That's so what would you ask him something similar to that it'd be like, um, I might ask him What would he would tell Maybe someone in my position with that wants to do acting wants to do these different things what you would I like speaking to like with this new era too with podcasting videos Everybody's got a camera in their house. Everybody's virtual the social media, you know Because he did it all writing and then he came up with this insane book That was his memoirs. That's like so powerful, right and through the acting So what would he do now like if he would if he was born in this time Or like just like in this era with podcast. Imagine his podcast He's got a youtube channel. Does he just came out? How do I get it? I think he's going youtube and click subscribe Like you guys are doing right now for the adam and steve pod Um, I would want so I definitely want to meet Dwayne johnson I would definitely want to meet silvestre saloon because of what he meant to me as a kid I'd want to meet michael jordan You know, but not to sound tacky. I still would want to just have lunch with dion over everyone Really? That's amazing. Absolutely Absolutely He fuels me. That's amazing. You know, that's more like meeting somebody and getting getting excited Um, but you know, sometimes they say if you meet your heroes, you know, you're going to be let down Wow But with dion, you know, what you see is what you get and Can't wait for you guys to have a podcast Yeah, all of us, you know, but it that's why I enjoy him and I would want to emulate a man like that You know, when you meet him, he he delivers in every area spirituality relationships music of course knowledge of love Humility, I mean he just he delivers, you know, what if you meet what if we meet somebody and we're like I would hate to meet jordan and be like, well, he was a dick Yeah Which is the case looked up to worship this guy since I was a kid All that I would feel like what a waste of time, you know Imagine. Oh my god. I'm buying it. He is for now on Next 50 years. Do you have a favorite brand? Um Not really. I I do like these What are these things I'm wearing now On or something these running running on running on something like that Um on running. Yeah, something like that. I but I mean, I do love the idea of jordan brand. Yeah, but I think I like I don't think I necessarily I'm talking about the sneakers. I think I'm talking about what it's symbolized Right. That's what I like about brands. It's just really interesting because I'm looking at them more when I Do things are sports wise because I'm like, I kind of want to I like the idea of like Sponsorship or but it's weird how like all have their own little niche or what they're doing I don't know brands are just fascinating. You're in. Yeah. Do you have a favorite brand? I mean, you're the dunk. No, but I just was like you have a favorite shoot of dunking Nike's probably but I love the cobies, but those are Nike, but yeah, I hope and that's how we're gonna end Yeah All right, let's wrap it up. What should we say? Well, I'd like to end on a happier note Let's end in the higher reality higher reality where Kobe's at. Yeah, where is that? Where Kobe's at? He's in a better place from this moment. How do they act like they're in the higher reality? Give them a step Um Look from this moment on to act in the higher reality. I want you to try to see the good in everything in everything You know, if it's raining the plants needed it. Thank you Something like that. That's great. You know, just try to try to see the good I love it And then that you know, we'll build on you and I can build on that. What would you suggest Think of the your higher self who you want to be if you want to meet these people Like we mentioned if you want to do big things, who do you want to meet? Did I reciprocate that question? No, but I was just mad. I like those people. Matthew McConaughey's huge huge Rogan rogue the awesome. Great. Crystal. Leah even I don't forget the scale. I just want people that really have inspired me Um Who else inspired me the rob deer deck is a huge one. I just his energy is so similar of like his brain and the way he lives I don't know. I can't think right now, but those are a few. Yeah I would I would enjoy talking to Joe Rogan for sure. He seems just fascinating. Yeah um Who's that um Elon musk like it's kind of yeah, I don't know if I'd want to like hang out with him But I think I like I get my fix when he talks to Joe Rogan Yeah, yeah, I'd rather watch him talk to Joe Rogan into me Yes, because it would be more like a genius speaking to Rocky Balboa Do you think Elon musk thinks about the higher reality like lives in it? Or a spiritual or has a faith? You know what I think I would compare Elon musk to someone maybe like my dad In which you know, if you ask talk to my dad, he's not the most spiritual open god guy But he does behave in a way That shows you that he's he's really open to that like he rides his horses and he's out in mother nature and he You know, he loves animals almost like gets it without he gets it without contemplating it thinking about it paying tribute to it You know wanting to get closer to it. He just kind of is like, you know what I mean? And I think you know something the way his mind works It granted. I don't think he's thinking about A higher reality, but he's thinking he's definitely elevated Right, right. I mean, I don't think like that Right, you know, I wasn't like hey Steve. Oh, is that did that? No, no, just a couple. Hey Steve, you know what we should do. We should Invent a car that doesn't use gasoline. I mean that wasn't on my mind crazy You don't want to know it was on my mind And that's it folks I do have one last question. Sure. What are we doing? I don't I don't even understand. Fuck it I don't even I don't even get You know, I mean, what do I do with this hand?
