I grew up in San Diego area in the late 70’s/80’s. My mom was dropping me off for my first day of second grade and she said “one day, you’ll be big like the 6th graders and you won’t be worried about your first day of school.” I replied “I’ll never live to see 12 years old. I’ll be killed or kidnapped before that.” We moved to another state within months.

[@kevinpheley]

San Diego was so violent in the 80s and 90s! It’s still bad but much better than before.

[@PAWiley]

Croatian croissant, 😂 what’s that abou? The name I mean…

[@MurdaIncorporated]

@@croatiancroissant28776 actually I changed my mind, you are so right! San Diego is scary, anyone not a local or whose grandparents weren’t born here, please go back to your state of record. It’s for your own safety

[@ryanjg87]

according to your gop politicians its really really bad and not safe everywhere in your country

[@gregs619]

I grew up in San Diego in the 80’s 90’s, family from southeast and I loved my childhood but yes it was hella violent. I grew up and moved to Europe and traveled plenty… so many ppl say so many different things about SD but I always tell them my city is the most beautiful city in America and u can live a beautiful life there if u stay on the right path… but if ur a fuck-up like me and looking for trouble, San Diego has more trouble to offer u than u can ever imagine 😂

[@MJDoubled99]

One hour of my night well spent. Both y'all are truly relatable. I made a mess of my military career, because I didn't appreciate the opportunities that i had at the time. I remember getting out and just being lost for a good couple years trying to fill that "what now" feeling with everything I could get my hands on. One day I came to after passing out drunk in my car and realized I can't go on like this. Today Im 11 months clean off of heroine and alcohol, I have a beautiful family, and my life has meaning. Come to find out the things I thought would break me are my greatest Blessings, so long as I stay grateful. God Bless all y'all

[@debbiemerls]

5:06 the notion that life expectancy was ~35 years was bc infant/child mortality rate was so high. If you don't include infant mortality, life expectancy averaged upwards of 50+ years

[@sportspokerguy3506]

Exactly, if you made it to 18, you were likely making it to at least 55-65, they even have words like senex

Which was still a very small percentage of people. One tiny infection which is treatable these days would end it back then. Not to mention the value for human life was almost zero.

[@hardstyle8184]

Great job guys.... I need to send Taylor a message... Get my ass back on the program at 45... And great questions Kevin. Well Done both!

[@positivefandom9066]

I’ve watched this man speak about his life several times on many interviews and what concerns me the most is that he might do something to physically hurt himself. I wonder if he’s overcome his addictions, it’s hard to watch him struggle, at least it seems like he’s struggling and these interviews may be part of a program where he has to confess to what’s happened in the past. Sure hope he makes it, he seems a bit lost and directionless.

[@johnblackbasel393]

Strangely, watching him from the corner of an eye, he comes across as psychologically badly hurt, (by what he experienced, or did to others? ) it's like his soul is literally separating at times. I d say, he's steadily walking on the edge, in (invisible) bad company... He comes across as highly suicidal. Is this what you mean? Respectfully.

[@TheMany42]

As someone who also grew up in Alaska the cartoon referenced was Nickelodeon’s Rocket Power.

Inspiring, far from it. Kicked out of the seals because he was a drug addiction and a juicer. Because a criminal and drug dealer. Joined the Legion, wasn't good enough to join any of their elite units and then deserted like the pos coward and quitter that he really is

[@heribertogonzalez3186]

“No One” has “Ever” asked him (during interviews) whether he’s seen action while in the legion; because they (the legion) did go to Afghanistan, just like other militaries.

[@Truthbomb918]

He never saw action, got kicked out of the seals before seeing any. Wasn't able to get into any of the Legions elite units

[@swschu]

@@Truthbomb918 he was a fuckup in the Legion by his own account. He spoke of the prospect of deployment to Ukraine. Did that prompt his desertion....I mean 'pivot?'🤣 When the truth comes out watch for a fansonly page😂

[@Truthbomb918]

@@swschu a fuckup is about all this criminal juicer is. Imagine being in the seals and the Legion and never once seeing combat. He's a disco soldier, and the Legion was never ever going to deploy to urkraine, never. It's an excuse from him, he just couldn't handle it anymore

You have an extremely negative mindset dude.. yes he was kicked out of seals and deserted the legion (for good reason).. but instead of choosing failure he chose to rebuild and rebrand himself.. so instead of criticizing maybe open up those ears and try to learn from people who have had to overcome hardships because one day you will have to deal with hardships it is inevitable.

I saw that interview and immediately hit him up like “BRO we NEED to do an interview”

[@Truthbomb918]

A movie about a drug addicted juicer, who's got kicked out of the seals became a drug dealer and deserted the Legion. I think not

[@YeseniaV92]

@Truthbomb918 You're not familiar with his story. He beat addiction, stopped all the BS, and overcame his demons. Now he's an extreme winner. Do you even know what a winner is? His life would make an incredible movie. It would be part action adventure, part drama, and maybe part comedy (ie things like the golf cart incident, etc). You should become a client of Taylor's so that he can help get you straightened out 💯
