Kid, awesome to have you.

Thank you, Will. Love your show.

A little bit of a cigar. First thing in the morning we were just talking about nicotine's the hardest habit to quit.

100%. But it's the most of joy.

I'd be pretending if I hadn't started my day with a little bit of coffee and nicotine.

I started with a lot of coffee and nicotine. About 4 a.m. getting after it. You just said

this to me. You said, I haven't done this a long time, all this media and these interviews on the day of a show. You're playing tonight, and I was thinking about that. This is a long day for you. You remind me in that way, and I'm not giving you this, like, gratuitous compliment of the president. You said it last night on Jesse Waters.

You don't need a lot of sleep?

No, and I did this kind of sleep study a few years ago with Cleveland Clinic. And the result was basically, there's like 2% of people who sleep four or five hours a night and are just fine because, you know, it concerns me with heart disease and things like that, stuff that runs in my family. And I've really been on his health kick the last three years. Still out by fun. But, you know, I balance it out. And, uh, yeah, it's, um, man, I feel great. Is it always in the same thing with him. Like, you know, I'll talk to him at two in the morning and then, you know, sometimes after I have a few beers, I'm like, What's up? And then he'll call me at six, like five in, but like, how do you like it?

I'm like, I'm up.

I'm ready to go.

What percentage of time when you dial his number does he pick up? 50%. No matter the hour? No. I know the best hours to get him at, you know, which is really early. And then, you know, kind of dinner time, late weekends when he's golfing or something. You know, I try not to bother him too much unless I have something really pointed, like my

ticketing thing. I'm trying to get done or whatever, but I don't wear a model. So when I call him it's just fun calls, like, I'm his buddy. Like, I'm not one of these people like, hey, so-and-so want you to, which I feel like I work for the government. Every day, it's somebody sending me

something. Can you give me a pardon? Can you know, this happened to me? Can you tell the president? I'm like I work for the government. Every day, it's somebody sending me something. Can you give me a

pardon? Can you know, this happened to me? Can you tell the president? I'm like, no, I'm his buddy. Like, I'm trying to get my ticketing thing done. You know, and I've been by aside since day one, so I'm not putting anybody's agenda above mine. So if you're listening, just know that up front. Has it always been that way, the four to five hours of sleep night?

Have you been built that way since you were in the 20s? No, no, no. I was a little wilder in my youth. Now there'd been this health kick. It's like the healthier I get, the less I sleep, almost. That's been the pattern, but, you know, I was, I know, I, I didn't, I didn't see a day until 10 o'clock for, for years, but I was also at six gear, you know, I can't, I'm, at this point in life, I'm trying to find third gear. I'm either off or six, you know, whether it's working, playing, partying, anything. And I'm trying to like, you know, make life sustainable being in a rock and roll. Like, I think third year is where it has to end up at some point. Why did that happen? Was there something that happened in your life? Why did you decide to get healthy? I don't think he or you will mind me saying that I know you and Pete used to work out together a little bit. And I saw you a year or two ago. I know you love pickleball. What what kicked off the health kick? It was just time. It was just time to, you know, replace the bad habits with good ones. And, you know, it was two being friends with Dana White and that all scene, you know, having somebody, having people to see the changes in them, you know, it's like, you know, you're unstoppable, untouchable through probably your 30s, you know, when you're rocking and rolling every night and you get pizza and drink beer and hang out and do it again. And your 40s, you kind of, you don't even realize it's creeping up on you. And you're like, oh, man, a little beer got going.

You know, especially when you're seeing yourself on TV and in pictures, you got.

And he's a great check. Yes, very good check. It's a great health check. So then when I, you know, got close to 50, I'm like, all right, it's time. It's time. And I, you know, I mean, if you just, you know, AI or Google, like the average age of a pop rock star, I think it's 47.

Really?

So I'm winning. If you just, you know, AI or Google, like the average age of a pop rock star, I think it's 47.
