“I don't know, man. It's the last vice of a lot of people in recovery. Yeah. Then you got guys like Keith Richards who's just ripping cigarettes still, and I'm like, he's fine.”

“get lung cancer that smoke cigarettes, that's why it looks so high. Let's find the numbers. Put it into perplexity, please. What percentage of cigarette smokers get lung cancer?”

“I think it's a very small number, and then you got to think, people that are smoking cigarettes, how many of them are smoking two, three packs a day? Oh, yeah. That's crazy. I don't know. And how many of them are smoking just a few cigarettes a day? I bet a lot. I bet a lot of people that are a little hesitant, they only smoke like a half a pack or a little bit less.”

“if you're a smoker, you're good, and I never got fucking COVID. Yes. And I was like, yay, nicotine. Well, there's something about smoking cigarettes that's supposed to be really good to prevent COVID, and it's really confusing to people. So crazy. Yeah. 10% to 20% of people who smoke at some point in their lives will develop lung cancer, with many studies landing about 15%.”

“It's a very controversial statement because people think, oh my God, you're promoting cigarettes. I don't think they're promoting cigarettes. They're just looking at data that these people that have high olive oil content in their diets seem to not have any problem. They don't have nearly as many problems with cigarettes or not have nearly as many problems.”

“risk and overall mortality in observational studies. Because that's the other thing about cigarettes. It's not just cancer. It's also heart disease. And so polyphenols have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects, but current evidence does not show they can neutralize the cardiovascular cancer or lung damage risk from smoking.”

“Most of the people I know that are alcoholics anonymous, they fuckin' drink coffee every day and they smoke cigarettes. Yeah. Big percentage of them. Ripping cigarettes. Yeah. Because it gets you a little high. Yeah. But it's like a very manageable high. Yeah. Like the cigarette high is like, oh, I'm all right.”

“Cool. But also good for cognitive function. You know? Oh. Like Pink Floyd, when they wrote The Wall, they were high as fuck on cigarettes. Those guys smoked cigarettes all day long. What? Yeah. Yeah. Those dudes smoked a ton of cigarettes. Get out of here. Yeah. Oh, is that coffee, dude?”

“Stephen King said that, too. When he stopped smoking cigarettes, it affected his writing. Oh, whoa. Yeah. He said his synapses just didn't fire as fast anymore. Whoa. It's like that was one of the things that I really noticed when I quit smoking.”

“Information was different. Our version of reality was different. Yeah. Everything. Everything was different. Fuck. And you rode it out from answering machines to pagers to fucking sidekicks to iPhones to the internet to everything.”

“I hope they smack somebody who made that and go, hey, bro. They will. I think one of the designers was one of the guys who was involved in designing the iPhone, and it fucking looks like it. No. That's why it's got all the 20 iPhone.”

“Fuck you. Out of the design room. You can't design a fucking Ferrari just because you made an iPhone. You're going to make it look sleek and plain. Yeah. No, it's got to look like art, you motherfucker. Someone's paying a quarter million dollars for this thing.”

“And then that Johnny Ivey piece of shit. That's a fucking thing. There was like three dudes. One dude, like, I guess, designed the iPhone, and there's two other designers involved. They probably work for Lamborghini. They're probably spies. They probably, you know, they infiltrated and decided to ruin it from the inside.”

“It's interesting how many great musicians learned on their own. Yeah. Like Hendrix. Hendrix taught himself to play guitar. That's why he played it upside down, left-handed. He just made it work. Yeah. Yeah. Just figured out how to do it on his own. It's really interesting how, like, with, you know, when you just get an instrument and listen to other people use it and”

“play guitar, sing, drums, bass. So I'll bring in demos that totally created by you. Yeah, just sounds, they sound finished, you know, it's like, okay.”

“in the doors. Decent door speakers. Decent. They were only decent back then. Yeah, and an alpine receiver. Right. And I got it to bump, but I just found it fucking just shocking that like that much money for a car and you still don't get a stereo.”

“Probably because I was drinking at the time. They kind of go hand in hand. Right. If you're having a cocktail or a beer or whatever, you're having to smoke, chances. Right. Chances are. Right. I don't know, man. It was just ... You're sitting there, and you're having a drink, and you're like, where's the cigarette?”

“The heartbeat. Do you ever fuck around with bongos? Oh sure. Yeah, those a lot of handed instruments, bongos, congas. I just the last couple years been playing a hand drum.”

“That's so rad. You can smoke in here. Yes, you can. Oh. Yeah. I smoke cigars. Of course. I'll fire up with you. Gotcha. All right. Mm. How long have you been smoking? God.”

“Haters. You have to have some vices. Most of the people I know that are alcoholics anonymous, they fuckin' drink coffee every day and they smoke cigarettes. Yeah. Big percentage of them. Ripping cigarettes. Yeah. Because it gets you a little high. Yeah. But it's like a very manageable high.”

“The heartbeat. Do you ever fuck around with bongos? Oh sure. Yeah, those a lot of handed instruments, bongos, congas. I just the last couple years been playing a hand drum. People call them a hang drum, hand drum.”

“Um, I just, the last couple of years I've been playing, um, uh, a hand drum. People call them a hang drum, hand drum. You know them? Have you seen them? They're like, they look like a fucking flying saucer. Oh yeah. I have. Brass drum. Yeah. Yeah. And they're really melodic.”

“as a singles musician due to the music video, which is described as one of the worst ever in a 2011 book, I Want My MTV, the uncensored story of the music video revolution. Wow. It shows Squire dancing around in a bed with pastel-colored satin sheets and wearing a pink tank top.”

“I was like, I'm going to fucking ... I got to see. I got one of those ... This was years ago. It was like a pedometer. You clip onto your shoe, like joggers would use it to see how ... It was like the old version. You just clipped it on your shoe, and it tells you how many miles you did.”

“Then you got guys like Keith Richards who's just ripping cigarettes still, and I'm like, he's fine. I've gotten my fucking, my lungs and done the whole like Prenuvo like, body scan to see all your shit, and they're like, you're good.”

“Wow. Isn't that nuts? Mm-hmm. 1980. Yeah. What was that scene like? Bro, that was ... Still to this day, Motley did ... We did this movie called The Dirt, and it's based on our autobiography from certain years, from this year to this year.”
