  1. “I do speak to him now. Those are my boys now. I mean, they're not going through what I went through, but stand up for yourself. You got something to do. I tell my boys this all the time. I'd rather you look stupid. I'd rather you look like an asshole than look like a pussy. You know, you've got to stand up for yourself. I never stood up for myself.”

  2. “And I had already learned some self-worth. I'd already learned some respect. And so that's kind of how my life was my earlier years.”

  3. “I figured out how to get some respect. I'm about 14 at this point. And at this point, I got both my ears pierced twice. I got my hair slicked back. I'm wearing the baggie jeans. I got the bomber jacket on. I'm like, I'm kind of fitted in a little bit. I kind of figured that out. And my mom moved me. She moved us because the high school that the middle school fed to was more of the same, actually even worse. Even worse. And so she moved me to predominantly Caucasian place that was more like me. But I had just figured out how to fit in with a different demographic. And I'm thinking I go to high school and I'm like, oh my God, not all over again. You know, everyone's wearing tight pants now. Nobody has their hair stick back. Nobody has an earring in their ear. But you know what? Like, I had known, I figured this out before, you know, and I'll figure this out again. And this time I figured out a lot faster.”

  4. “That like a hit list. I would write down the names if I could get revenge on these people. These are the five or six guys that every fucking day would bully me. I mean, I would be blindsided out of nowhere. You know, sometimes somebody would punch me and I would wake up just with my book bag. The bell had already rang. Going to middle school was just a living hell. I had to figure out a way out of that hellhole. I had started lifting weights just prior to 10 for no really good reason. One of my mom's boyfriend, Michael Glyden's there. He was a pharmacist. He said, hey, I got this old bench in my garage. You want this bench? And I was like, sure, I'll take it. And I was just drawn to it. And I was just drawn to it. And then something happened where I realized like this is the only place I could really control the outcomes in my life. And so I was drawn to it more and more and more. And eventually I got strong and I looked strong and I figured out a way out of this hellhole. I figured out how to kind of blend in.”

  5. “And I told my mom I'm never going back. And my mom, she looked at me with such certainty that she wasn't going to have any part of this conversation. And it was the first time she really did this. It was, I'll say my mom prior to that, like we could talk about anything. But the minute I brought this up, she was so stern about it, I knew that this was off limits. And so I never went back to her about any issue I had in middle school. But middle school, think about this, my friends are gone from up the street. I had no one to talk to about this stuff. I didn't have a dad to mentor me. My brother, that's a year and a half older, is now hanging out with his older friends. And then he goes off to high school. So I'm not able to talk to him about it. And it's just, man, I just, I couldn't wait for these years to be over. And I remember keeping a list of people.”

  6. “So it's almost like it all switched overnight. So the friends that we had up the street, they moved to another town. And then I went from elementary school to middle school. And I would say this is when my first rite of passage really took place. It was like a living fucking hell. I was the only one of my kind in middle school. I was undersized. I was tiny. I was just a little guy. I knew I looked funny and I got the shit kicked out of me every single day. Remember I would come home and I would look in the mirror. I would look at the clothes that I had. I had absolutely no concept of self-worth. I was totally embarrassed. I was humiliated of this kid that I had become. And all I wanted to do was just be different. I was like, why couldn't I have been born different? Why couldn't I look like these guys? Look. And so I remember coming back from school the first day, tears coming out of my eyes, you know.”

  7. “I just wanted to be just like my brother. He's a year and a half older than me. I just wanted to be exactly like my brother. And here's the thing. We had two friends up the street, best friends, Chris and Aaron. And they were everything, you know, going to play sports, going hang out with these guys, going skateboarding. It just seemed like every day was full of activity. And you said, describe it up to 10. That was about 10. It's interesting that you said describe it up to 10 because I would say just to about 10, life was incredible. It was like perfect. Everything. I mean, just like every day was full of laughter, no responsibility, you know, falling off the skateboard, getting banged up, you know, and back then, you know, you could take your skateboard anywhere. My mom would let us go to the movies, you know, on the skateboard. And so growing up, I just remember these were just up to about 10. It was just filled with so much joy. Yeah.”

  8. “While before ten years old I grew up with a brother and with a mom that was mom and dad. I have no memory of my dad when I was two or three years old. He died. He was serving in the Air Force and he died. And so my mom was really tough on us. Really tough on us. What I mean by that is it seemed like brothers together are always raising hell, getting in trouble. And she seemed to just beat the shit out of us. It's just normal. It's just normal. And then sometimes she would drop us off at her parents' house in California and they would do the same thing. And later on I realized my mom got it from her dad and they're just doing the best, right? They're doing the best that they can. And so I'll say my mom was really, really tough on me growing up. She had us enrolled in all the typical sports, all the traditional sports.”

  9. “The hardest moment was when my son Rad got sick. We thought we were losing him. Oh God, don't make me do this again. Of the reason why I never wanted to publicly come out as the Liver King is because”

  10. “I own 10 or 12 companies right now. For every single company, it's based on taking this ancestral message mainstream. The world's really hurting.”

  11. “King Singh drives me nuts because that guy's on steroid. All I ask is for the opportunity to have the conversation with him face to face. Most people are suffering with something. 50% on prescription medication. 20% can't have babies. 70% overweight. The six tribes that have gone and visited with seems non-existent.”

  12. “This is what we evolved with. Sheep and testicles lungs. You are not replacing these nutrients with fucking vegetables. 70 pound kettlebells in each hair, 70 pounds in a backpack. It's 120 pounds on top of a sled, and you go one mile. I made my son do it when he turned 15.”
