Jordan Peterson on what almost KILLED him w/ Bill Maher

you look amazing no thank you because I know you're at death's door yeah for a long time I'd I I've said this before I said it to Matthew Perry because he was at death's door when he was on my show the other one and I said you know it's amazing that life it's so fragile it's so easy to die it's also kind of hard this is true it's also kind of hard to get you and you were close right oh yeah so what why what was I forgot what I don't know really you don't know really it was a bunch of things I think all at the same time I don't really know but what was the symptoms um I was in worse pain every moment during the morning and afternoons for two and a half years than I'd ever been for any moment in my whole life what kind of pain I don't know how would I describe it like all over yeah yeah well it was also it was also like cattle prod pain so I couldn't sit down like for there were months where I was walking 9 to 12 miles a day and what is the provenance of this pain we don't know well some of it had to do with some of it had to do with benzodiazepine um withdrawal Valium essentially oh yeah Valium yeah although not very much and oh no well I got really sick I got really sick in 2017. in 2016 and I did I couldn't sleep at all people parted on that [ __ ] I know in this town yeah well you know if you do it if you do it now and then it's not so bad but no I I always had a low Keel so like any Downer I took just pass out I literally listened to this when I was living in New York when I was a young comic we took a quaalude Quaaludes remember Quaaludes and I passed how we got about two blocks from my apartment I passed out I remember it being over the hood of a camp party and they just dragged me my friend dragged me right back to the apartment and threw me on the bed and I woke up 14 hours later with the door open that's how bad my apartment was the drawer was open for 14 hours and no one wanted to rob it that's sad that's sad you know that's embarrassing in New York so you were on okay but then okay but and I mean you just look great thank you sir you look better than ever yeah probably yeah like you look like the [ __ ] Marlboro Man I mean you're like 10 rested and ready ready to go man yeah maybe but that suit I mean Jesus Christ you must feel like a million bucks to come back from that I'm pretty happy but well my wife almost died too a at the same time so well maybe that's what caused your sickness it didn't help right and my daughter was also very sick at the same time I mean I believe rather deeply in the mind-body connection I mean I believe that among the uh parts of Western medicine that annoy me and that I believe in the future will look stupid is not countenancing not taking into account rather that element like if they can't read it on a blood sheet you know your blood panel and quantify it with a number it doesn't really exist in Western medicine and I don't think that's how we are you agree with that hey thanks for watching the clip hit the Subscribe button now so you never miss out on our club random content that's posted daily
