Episode 63: Flea on What he Learned From his Relationships

[@annalouise53]

"there are never good guys and bad guys. we're both" I LOVE THIS MAN

[@tannerkillian]

Say anything you want, but seriously there is no person in the entertainment industry more pure and real and loving and kind and all the good things as Flea is. This is a standout human being even if you didn’t take his musical contributions into consideration!

[@sect1359]

best commentary ever

[@minichanz]

That's a brilliant comment

[@TheStarBlack]

My god this is fascinating, I could listen to this all day. Flea is so full of hard earned wisdom. Great interviewer. Definitely getting the book.

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

Flea seems to be a very thoughtful, and down to earth guy. So glad he didn't become a casualty like so many others.

[@Jay-333]

I love the way flea expresses himself, all from the heart,beautiful to listen too. Great questions too. 💚🎸🎺🎶

[@DanSchawbel]

Me too and thank you for the support.

[@rossanamesias7815]

Podría escuchar a flea pordiempre amo a exte hombre el es genial un tipo fenomenal❤❤❤ su voz me transporta te amo flea❤❤❤

[@matthewmoggridge5221]

I've read Flea's book and, to put it mildly, it's fantastic! Really. I've never read a book like it and I'm so glad he didn't go down the rock star memoir route. He's one of those people that I'd invite to my 'dream dinner party', such an inspiring individual. I wish him well for whatever he does in his life.

[@propjoe1060]

Flea is a wonderful human being. An example of someone who puts every ounce of what he can give into every performance. A legend.

[@garyarms6297]

There is never good guys and bad guys. There is always both. Wisdom...

Love that line

Everytime Flea speaks I have more respect for him

[@N8-justchillin]

This book is fantastic. It was released in November 2019 recently.

[@DanSchawbel]

It's a great book, thanks for commenting

[@liatus1146]

Badass cheekbone you got there flea

[@tomkirk6942]

Wonderful book from a genuine human.

[@ricchardo]

It's interesting to hear what he said about his Mother. I'm going through a "Bad Patch" with mine now. I think our relationship was actually better when I was younger, Now I'm older I'm more aware of her faults and I'm more likely to tell her if I don't like something or I'm unwilling to tolerate it.

[@stillmaninmotion6081]

Flea is such a humble and nice guy

[@graf7568]

Thank you so much, it is inspirational to hear this guy talk, thanks Flea

Your welcome

[@MontyRoyal963]

When you get to know Flea he's the glue that held the RHCP together

[@allcapsbeats]

"you've been doing drugs for 27 years"... wtf. Such an off putting way to start the interview.

[@sandralee5106]

Couldn't agree with you more.

[@73brook]

He didn’t say that at all he said “for most of you life” and flea said “I haven’t done them for 27 years”

[@allcapsbeats]

[@olivermcintyre2835]

Sorry, but what a terrible way to phrase your first question. Did you read the book you're holding?

[@DanSchawbel]

Oliver McIntyre after with you, I didn’t phrase it right

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Simmer down ,Karen he isnt a CNN talking head this was an intimate interview i can tell Dan is a fan and is prolly abit overwhelmed having this legend sit across from him ...I'd likely not be able to speak if Flea was 3 ft from me . This interview was great only a small mind would bicker n nitpick and search for a flaw ,therein. ( I hope I phrased this right lol ❤ So cringe to listen to petty nitpicking regarding content of this magnitude,and importance

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Lol says the keyboard critic that " edited" his comment ❤😢

[@Riff24]

¡Que linda persona es Flea! :) Se siente la paz con solo escucharlo hablar.

[@RajStarMusic]

Dude what is up with this interviewer? Dude seemed like he didn't even read the book and tried to wing it. Very general questions and not really listening to what Flea is saying. Flea is a man who speaks from the heart with love.. loved to hear his authenticity!

[@DanSchawbel]

cool

[@ricchardo]

Patricia, I want to tell you a story, When I was a child, I had a grandad, He was in the Army and fought in the second world war. It was (and is) very common for Soldiers to get Tattoos and he was no exception. By the time I knew him, He had left the army and ALL his Tattoos had faded, so much so that it was virtually impossible to tell what they were supposed to be. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that what might look like a Chili Pepper today, could more closely resemble a Willy tomorrow. Food for thought, I think you'll agree? 😂

First thing the interviewer says is, so you've obviously been on drugs all your life and flea is like , no not for 27 years , way to do your research bro and your holding the book

[@mikenewbold1699]

you've been doing drugs most of your life?. I actually havnt done drugs in 27 years. Hate interviews who don't do research

It was a mistake for sure, but after we got that question it was awesome!

Yikes the start of this interview was painful to watch. Interviewer incorrectly interpreting book’s title. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@tesstikles3225]

Flea talks about love and unity and all sorts of things but yet him and Anthony fired Josh just to take the abusive husband back ( John ) . Don't get me wrong I love John but he has quit twice on them. I guess his ego got the best of him and he couldn't believe the band continue to be successful without him.

[@freebird1975]

They were successful without John because people were still hooked on material John created. As good as Josh is, he could never elevate his creativity to the level needed to even come close to what John did for the band. Do you have the impression the rhcp where as successful in the past 10 years as they were in the 10 years prior? People were going nuts when they played old songs during their shows but didn't really respond too well to new material. I don't think there's anybody out there who could really replace John. I believe Josh always knew that he was not going to be part of the band forever, I think he knew John was eventually going to come back and he knew that Flea, Anthony and Chad would always choose John before Josh. Calling John the abusive husband is way out of line btw. John did what he thought was best for him and the band by leaving but making sure that the band had a good replacement (let's not forget that John was the one who gave Josh the opportunity in the first place) , now he's back with his family.

[@masxn_t]

Lmao you’re a fucking idiot. You don’t even deserve to “love John”.
