Ron White Cleaned Up His Life With Ayahuasca - 2 Bears, 1 Cave Highlight

you look [ __ ] great man well you know i haven't had a drink of alcohol in 16 months i am not proud to say and uh i believe that there's so much alcohol that you can drink in your lifetime and i drank mine you got it and the next time when i come back in another life i'm going to drink a little slower okay you know so i have a little extra boost to drink in my 60s and 70s you have a little little time with it later on what are you doing to like fill the you know the void of that hard drugs drugs yeah a lot of hard drugs that what i've done is uh you know i do uh you know i i suffered a little depression when i was you know kind of in the pandemic and i was drinking a lot of uh my tequila and uh and and then somebody suggested mushrooms might be a way to to get me out of that funk so i started macro dosing those and i don't have scales or anything but you know it's probably more than the recommended uh just eyeballing it it's like that much i don't know you can tell is that a weight measure or anything about that much mushrooms and uh i gotta tell you it pulls you right out of the funk it does huh yeah you know i've been wanting to do it i will actually i want to go to ayahuasca i want to have like that that like mind opening experience well i you know i did uh when it became really apparent that uh that i probably needed to quit drinking uh and it came about a couple of different ways one my girlfriend has a a beach house what's on it's on the main channel the oxnard marina her house is one of them uh and uh so the neighbors are maybe five years older than me and they're all drunk drunks i mean yeah and so i had no choice but to look at it you know that's what you look like right there and in five years it's not gonna get better see it gets worse really and uh yeah and they're nice people but they're just retired drunks and this this is actually what helped it just made me look at it i mean the doctors were saying that i have some bad numbers and uh so but it made it easier just to look at the natural progression of life i i gotta get ready to be 70 in five years right so how am i gonna get around how am i gonna function and it was really you know got to the point especially during the pandemic that i was you know that bottle of tequila was moving i used to keep it in a cabinet and then it went to a coffee table yeah that i didn't even have to get up just reach over and pour a little bit and it went from 5 to 3 30 in the afternoon and and it just i but i couldn't really see a life where i didn't drink you know because number one i'm famous for drinking and uh and so socially uh i'm kind of the hub of uh of social activity in some circle you know and and and then i have a crew on the road with me all the time and i've gotten them drunk every night for years sure and uh on my nickel and i'm like i don't think other employers do this you know every night let's go get trashed on me guys every night come on let's go so but so i i i had heard about ayahuasca and i thought well that's what i want to do i want to go down to costa rica and go to a place called rhythmia and and i told them how much i drank and then they said no you can't come here because we're not set up for detox and you're gonna have problems and uh and that's not what we are it can be a byproduct but it's not what we're here to do you know so you got to quit for 15 days i'm like 15 days no way so i went to this hypnotist in santa monica and uh really cheesy looking operation uh guys doing it out of his garage and he has a a brown wig that's just a little crooked i don't know that's all part of it or what he drank had a thin tall glass of water with no ice that he barely sipped on and you're in his garage you know 30 year old recliner blue velvety looking you know and and the guy is so good at what he does and uh you didn't you go to four sessions it's 250 bucks a piece rehab's 3 000 a day yeah in l.a so you go for a month that's 90 000 and i went about 10 years ago for that state's over for six months for i think there was seventy thousand dollars i'm like well let's stay sober the rest of my life is gonna be pricey yeah if that's all i'm getting these six month chunks out of this that's 70 grand so i went to him and and uh and so i just did what he said you know the first session i didn't quit drinking he said you have to quit drinking now i'm like great yeah how long does this go yeah a year i went to a slow program and then you quit after the second one and i and i got to tell you i never went through any kind of detox or didn't buy and and i did the first time i quit i was in a [ __ ] hospital room shaking and sweating and uh i now i think they were giving me pills to make me shake and sweat cause it's the only time i've ever done it and i think that you i don't know that for sure i'm making false accusations still like it entered my mind yeah well why was i you know because i was drinking more now than i was then and and uh but but nothing i just quit and it didn't bother me a bit and uh and then i went down to costa rica and did a week at uh ayahuasca and then and it was well you know yeah it's really nice number one this place it's not a canoe down the amazon to a corrugated tin shack with a bunch of feathered you know it's not that experience yeah no no no no it's it it's used to be part of a jw marriott on the beach and it was their overflow on the jungle side so this guy bought it and uh and turned it into this health facility so the food's great everything's included you trip for four nights and uh from like 5 30 to about midnight and in the perfect environment i mean it's uh this big room has beds mattresses on the floor and they're all made up it's all really nice pillows and blankets and it's very kind of ceremonial you know that we do have feathers just feathers there feathers help and uh there's four different shamans a different one every night and the juice is a little different every night and the the first night i did it i tripped so hard and i don't mind altered states and boy but that was a little much for me and i wasn't exactly sure at one point i'm like i can't do this four nights in a row no no way but the drug that's in it the active ingredient is over it gets out of your system just like that and so they know exactly when it'll be over so at midnight when they turn on the light and say good morning you're no matter how hard you were tripping before it's not like go to bed yeah but it's over and you're like oh well i can do that i can go to the dark side because they they tell you to lean towards the dark side so if you see a rainbow and a unicorn and this side of the street and there's some dude you barely recognize near a window go that way yeah don't hop on the unicorn and fly over the rainbow yeah and uh because there's nothing over there right and so i was leaning into it pretty hard and uh but whenever once i found out it was over i'm like i can i can do that you know as long as it's not 16 hours of when is this [ __ ] gonna go away yeah yeah and uh so and the next night i went in there and the shaman gave me like half as much and you could drink as much of it as you want you just can't do it past a certain time so they know you're it's over when it's sure and uh he gave me a half as much and he said uh said the mother ayahuasca is giving you the night off and i'm like okay whatever you want and it was so beautiful they had on the back they had all these hammocks and the great sky and monkeys and [ __ ] and and a big fire out there and the shaman just goes just go outside and i said what do i do you squash i'd sit in a hammock and uh when it's time to come in come on in i said how do i know when it's time to come in he goes oh you'll know so i'm out there going oh it's kind of like a little light mushroom buzz and then i then i open my mouth and the entire forest rushed into it and i'm like it's probably time to go in right i went on i went on in and laid down on my mattress and some people get there's vomit buckets too because it makes people vomit or it gives you the shits which is what it did for me and so i kept having to [ __ ] and balls i gotta oh my god i never thought i'd walk into a room full of people throwing up in buckets and go lucky i gotta go to this other room and [ __ ] yeah you just throw up in your bed was it life-altering experience the way a lot of people describe ayahuasca as like oh man this completely changed my perspective on things it it what it did in a nutshell was helped me forgive everybody except one [ __ ] divorce lawyer i'm telling you i did it i was so good with forgiving everybody until it came to that sorry [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] yeah and i so i'm hung up yeah just that one little thing but the rest of it's good that's pretty good and uh you know it also big part of just forgiving me for you know uh to let it go it's a waste of time it takes too much energy and uh but but it really showed me a way to let it all go yeah and uh and and uh and i tell you the experiences after the first night which were dark uh were very light and full of nothing but love feelings of love and it affects everybody differently because the night that i was on the mattress could not get up i couldn't figure out how to scratch my head my head itched i have hands with fingernails couldn't put them together really like ah ah because i was just thinking about something else and then somebody walked by and i was like can you just scratch my head and they're like yeah i sure did that good yeah yeah and other people are dancing so uh in my head i'm doing the bill hicks line so you guys can use your legs huh yeah so you went through for a full ride this is a full ride full ride and uh and four nights in a row but the other three were just joyous that's great and uh completely different and uh and and i was ready to attack i was ready to go deeper deeper and they're like it was kind of like a a death and a and a rebirth but i got there quick yeah and uh now i don't know about all that right all i know is i wanted the experience of it um i found this place that was really good at it very very safe and uh not i mean it's like five grand a week for the nicest room they've got and that includes food so it's not rehab prices and you're in costa rica i end up staying in tamarindo for an extra week after that man [ __ ] love it man yeah and i just i just got connected to somebody who will fly in and either do it they'll do it at your place or you can go to a place and they'll administer and take you through that you know i know that that's going on i know what's going on all over beverly hills yeah and my yoga girl used to go do it and she's really the one that kind of talked me into doing it but uh but i wanted to i didn't really trust i mean i have a little trouble with an honest or a healthy amount of uh problem with trust and so uh i just made the decision to go down i think that's cool as [ __ ] yeah and by the way i think you deserve an enormous amount of credit for having the uh the awareness to see those neighbors that you were saying that are five years older and having the the thought of being like hey this is the future right like being able to see that most a lot of people don't put two and two together like that they just look at their neighbor and they're like all right and then just keep going yeah you could you could really i you know and i i'll really like those people but i have a tendency not to go there because of them because i just and not that it makes me want to drink because it makes me want to drink even less right i can't drink any less because i don't drink it all but i would drink less than none how have you it's been 16 months how have you adapted to knowing that you're ron white everybody goes this guy's always got a cocktail and a cigar he's great to be around you know the crew meaning everybody just being like i'm gonna have a drink with this guy right and now you're not drinking like do you still socialize have you adopted like some other thing that lets you be in those circles or like what's your well if they want to smoke pot and eat mushrooms i'll do that you know so you know i still got some [ __ ] going on okay it was socially it was awkward at first and then and and i had a tendency right at first to to kind of isolate and then it got to where the upside to to me not drinking was so big yeah that it didn't matter to me anymore and it was yeah you have much more clarity like you think in your mind or like you know i i i i i i sleep like a baby i i feel good when i when i wake up yeah you know unless i've been tripping all night and then i feel like [ __ ] you know i don't want to paint too great a picture and i mean and also i'm not recruiting yeah people to quit drinking this was my problem sure you know it was nobody else's problem and uh and i own a tequila company so i need people to continue to drink yeah at an accelerated rate just to we had to take a truck off the route when i quit there you go and uh number one my investors even though the they said uh oh that's great you're gonna quit during tonight they totally didn't sound like they meant it yeah yeah yeah it sounded like it was just they're throwing something they were throwing in there for for fun sure oh great news that's for all of us ryan so you know what and the weird thing is i don't talk about it on stage i i go on stage with a bottle of my tequila and a and a drink that looks like a drink you know because it's a people go why aren't you honest i'm like it's not a [ __ ] newscast no it's a comedy show it's a show yeah most of it's not true right you know so many people don't [ __ ] get that yeah these are these are jokes i just tell them in story form bert and tom tom and bert one goes topless while the other wears a shirt tom 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] you
