Kevin Smith Opens Up On Mental Breakdown | 2 Bears, 1 Cave Highlight

so you recently went in mental health mental health facility I lost my mind I had a complete break with reality and I went to a place called Sierra Tucson in Arizona not far from did you say you're going to Red Rocks yeah isn't that in Arizona no no in Colorado so there's a Red Rock in Arizona I just I keep I've passed it lately a lot so I was like oh maybe that's the red rocks that people would play at but that's in Colorado yeah yeah Red Rocks is in Colorado I'll be there in October I got to get your tickets well done I'm assuming it's already sold out but just if it isn't there's still General Mission tickets were you smoking weed at the time uh when I went in yeah but I didn't think that was my problem I don't think it was your problem either I know you don't smoke we need more yeah once I was in there for a month like obviously you can't smoke weed in there and when I was getting out I was like you know what like I'm fine like I haven't done it for four weeks let me see how long I keep going so right now I think I'm at 16 weeks Weed Free by the way sooner or later I'm not a big weed guy I know you are but I went through I went through and pulled out I had to go through the house and get all our weed because I was like I guess we're getting high today and then and then Christine was like oh he doesn't he hasn't smoked weed in 2023 and I went oh for real I was like okay that's cool I guess I'll work out tonight it's what an option it's been uh yeah 16 weeks weed free so which is how many months 16 four months technically I don't feel like I have kids again I do have kids doing math I love kids when they met one downstairs she was like Tusk yeah when she when they go he's 16 weeks and then that's you're what I used to have a joke about it that's what your wife would say she's 16 weeks and then that's all you knew so people go how old are your kids you go 16 weeks and you just use that and then they're like uh she's three years old you're like I'm 16 weeks three years she wears a wristwatch so uh so that was always my determination of how old a child is is do they wear a wrist watch and that's when that's when a 16 that's when a kid who's measured in weeks becomes a child becomes a human today that's a kid's Bar Mitzvah when they wear [ __ ] yeah so because I feel like from what I've heard uh I feel like that mental break that you had yes is coming around the corner for me you know honestly it's not the scariest thing in the world if you're burning the candle at all ends and then you're buying a Candle factory and lighting that on fire too and I I suspect like me that you're just like hey man things are happening I want them to continue happening that's that was life for me since like the moment clerks happen yeah and people go on vacations and I don't do that kind of thing like I just don't understand people who don't work I'm I'm with you yeah it may it could I'm not saying it will but you may wind up at a place where you break because people aren't made to work as as often as we do and it's not like the work that say I don't know what your parents did but it's not like the same work that like my dad did where my dad hated [ __ ] work and he would do it and he would come home and then he would not think about work at all he would leave it there his job was just a thing to pay for what he loved most in life which was his wife and children um wife and child who I absolutely [ __ ] adore though were secondary to work like I was like you don't understand the chances that this [ __ ] was ever going to [ __ ] happen for me I'd have a career yeah all right [ __ ] one in a billion so I ain't gonna [ __ ] that up and I'm Gonna Keep [ __ ] going so yeah okay you're saying everything I've said out loud people go I remember Chris Hardwick shout outs Chris Hardwick I hope this doesn't throw shade on him but he goes don't you think it's a little irresponsible for you to have children when you work as hard as you do you shouldn't shouldn't you be home raising your children I was like I was like I don't are you speaking a different language what are you talking about yeah like in my head I was like I don't know that sounds a little judge yeah I was like I was like I remember you can find the quote whatever he said I remember going like I remember saying and I've always said this dudes go to to uh Afghanistan for two years yeah with families so like so like I justify me working hard is like every one works hard and and and I want to work as hard as I want to work and I don't understand people who take breaks off people go I need time off my assistant has not had a day off since he met me right my wife has to tell him you need to go home and he goes but he works the way I work and it's just all day every [ __ ] day from the second I wake up till the second I go to bed and but the thing that I heard that you were said is Jake you were having a hard time distinguishing who you were versus who yeah you really certain point like I always kind of chalked it up too there's me the authentic me and then there's the other guy which is the one who goes up on stage and uh while I was in there I realized that I was being kind by saying there were two of us that I've identified 10 different facets to my personality all of which are always trying to grab for the wheel at any given moment um the other guy was the the one I eventually let take over um I went on the convenience tour from like um September to December and I probably shouldn't have gone because there was something happening in my life that I probably should have stopped and taken care of my head and heart but instead we had like a 95 percent sell through and I was like I can't [ __ ] we've got tens of thousands of people waiting I'm not going to disappoint him plus I wasn't the only one making money there were other profit participants in the thing so I was like oh God okay yeah absolutely [ __ ] I mean people money I make people money when I go on tour I make 18 people's mortgages yes that's the thing it's like it's not just I don't just support myself and my family I I [ __ ] I've been supporting a lot of people and I'm not even counting agents managers lawyers I'm not kidding about those people I'm talking about 18 people yeah our get on tour buses and get in s and get in uh uh semis yeah and those 18 people work for [ __ ] four months and then get their nut like it's and that happened to me when I did the pandemic tour I did a tour during the pandemic and all anyone said to me was like and it would it made my heart swell but like you go to a place and do big [ __ ] guys who move stages in life so like Bert this is during the pandemic thanks for the workplace of course there was no [ __ ] work to be happy for those cats and the fact that you would go out there and do the work means that like you're putting food on the table not just for you and yours but for people who come up to you and say hi and thank you who you'll never [ __ ] see again yeah um there's a lot of responsibility in being like the chief Breadwinner and I don't just mean in a family I mean like for this the trickle down for the amount of people that you take care of is the responsibility that you haven't even come to grips with yet um to stop means it stops for so many other people for everyone and they don't like it's not like a negative thing with like that's my meal ticking [ __ ] but that's how they live is off of you and you get to do the things that you love and I could tell that you do these things not be out of a sense of responsibility or not because you're like I got all these mouths to feed this would be [ __ ] you'd be doing for free yeah if it wasn't your job [Music] tells Stories inverts the machine there's not a chance in hell that they'll keep it clean here's what we call two bears one cave [Music]
