Ra of Earth (00:00):
Hold on. You’re not coming through my headphones. Can you hear me?
Sevan Matossian (00:04):
I can. I hear you great. Can you hear me?
Ra of Earth (00:09):
Not in my headphones.
Sevan Matossian (00:12):
You see that little gear down there at the bottom?
Ra of Earth (00:16):
Yeah, I’m about to external headphones. What about now?
Sevan Matossian (00:24):
I mean, you always sound good to me. Look at you. You look young. Augustus Sling did a bunch of rope climbs in the Savage ones. Born primitive, savage ones yesterday, held up the best out of any shoe that I’ve tried recently. No actual damage, but a little aesthetical rope burn on the logo and tongue. The old rope climb, dude. How old are you, Ronnie?
Ra of Earth (00:46):
I believe I’m 41 or 42.
Sevan Matossian (00:51):
You got younger. You look younger.
Ra of Earth (00:54):
Well, I don’t know about that, but I am spending a lot of time outside and doing all the things earthing, and that helps
Sevan Matossian (01:07):
Raw. Last time I talked to you, I thought there was some talk about a haircut, and now it is more, it’s changed. It’s longer. And I think maybe something else is changing too. I can’t tell exactly what it is. Maybe it’s the weight of the hair.
Ra of Earth (01:23):
Well,
(01:26):
I wear it down now. I usually always have it up in a bun, but it was getting way too heavy. It was getting so heavy that it was hurting my head because it was always leaning to one side and pulling. So now I pretty much always wear it down. And so that’s different. And then, yeah, there’s some groups of hair that go down to my mid thighs, so it’s getting pretty long. But do I cut it? I don’t know. I’m open to a cut when I feel that that sign comes into my reality, but for now it’s long.
Sevan Matossian (02:00):
What about just just the practical nature of it? Just getting caught in shit. I didn’t have long hair, but I had a man bun for a while and I had it like this and I was just tending to it too much. And you have a lot of hair to, it’s like it’s in shit. It’s part of your life. You know what I mean? Right. All this time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ra of Earth (02:24):
I mean, I was at Soho house yesterday in Malibu and it was a buffet, and I was very difficult to manage my hair, getting all over the buffet food for everyone else. But I walk past, I get stuck in trees. If I get in my car, I sit on it. It’s always there. Sleeping is a huge issue slash hassle, but it’s just what it is. I figured if I cut my hair, I’m probably never going to have it this long for the rest of my life. So even there is some inconveniences. I’m enjoying it as it is right now.
Sevan Matossian (03:06):
I am attached to it. I do like your hair long. Hey, I turned his mic up. Does that work, guys? I know. I feel like I’m really loud and he’s really soft. I turned his mic up.
Ra of Earth (03:15):
I can increase my gain, but
Sevan Matossian (03:18):
I turned you up on the settings for the podcast settings.
Ra of Earth (03:21):
Alright.
Sevan Matossian (03:22):
Does that work? Raw sounds really low.
Ra of Earth (03:25):
I also have a sound check. Sound check. I turned up my road caster a little bit.
Sevan Matossian (03:40):
Are you liking the road caster? How long have you had the road caster?
Ra of Earth (03:43):
Six months or so. Yeah, it’s pretty good. I also can talk louder like I am now, or I can automatically adjust my mic sound in the settings on Streamy Yard. I
Sevan Matossian (03:55):
Believe I turned you way up on Chevy is just loud. I can hear. Okay, here, I’ll turn myself down. How’s that
Ra of Earth (04:02):
Mic? Just,
Sevan Matossian (04:04):
I turned myself down. I
Ra of Earth (04:05):
Like all the sponsors.
Sevan Matossian (04:09):
Thanks. You
Ra of Earth (04:09):
Have all on here. That’s good to see.
Sevan Matossian (04:15):
The Paper Street Coffee’s been around forever and peptides has been around forever. And then me, toothing is my new tooth powder.
Ra of Earth (04:22):
Yeah, I was just looking at it online actually.
Sevan Matossian (04:27):
And then Vindicates, the people who sell the CEO shirts and birth fit is a strange, I’d never expected those people to be partnered with those people, but I’m fully aligned with those people. So these are all the people I have relationships with. And then my actual sponsors you just hear on Spotify and iTunes. Those are people who just give you money like DraftKings or sleep aid or people, I don’t know. I’m not into, I’m not doing their product. You know what I mean? I’m not, I know the Lindsay
Ra of Earth (05:04):
Does birth fit. Is Lindsay running that? Who’s
Sevan Matossian (05:07):
Yeah. Yeah. Lindsay Cantu.
Ra of Earth (05:10):
Alright.
Sevan Matossian (05:11):
Hey, dude, her, I turned you up again. Sorry. You put it to automatic. I turned you up again. Hey, Lindsay Cantu is her mentor. You’ve got to meet her mentor. You’re doing a podcast now, right?
Ra of Earth (05:28):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (05:29):
And how often are you doing it?
Ra of Earth (05:30):
Oh, every week.
Sevan Matossian (05:32):
And is it on YouTube?
Ra of Earth (05:33):
I just released my first episode publicly on YouTube. It’s called, well, it’s on my raw of Earth YouTube channel. It’s called Self Expansion Podcast. The first one was just released. I interviewed a channel, so she wrote a book, conversations With the Earth and welcome to,
Sevan Matossian (05:54):
And that’s the lady.
Ra of Earth (05:56):
Yeah. Well, she’s channeling Hathor in the podcast and Hathor is a divine feminine essence, but another entity out of this world. I forgot to put on my wedding ring this morning, so I’m going to make one.
Sevan Matossian (06:18):
I want to say with the superficial before we go anywhere else, why did you just release to YouTube? You’ve been just going to Spotify and iTunes?
Ra of Earth (06:29):
No, I started another podcast about six months ago and that was called Subject Matter Experts Show.
Sevan Matossian (06:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, I remember. And we talked about that
Ra of Earth (06:39):
And I did a pilot season of that, and it was just way too much work. The concept that I had. It was a lot of editing, a lot of editing, and so I put a pause on that, I’ll probably start it back up. And then now I’m just doing a traditional podcast like this with all the people that I know. And so now I’m starting that up. I do it live like you’re doing in a private community, and then I release publicly. But if you click on the word podcast right there, there’s the one episode.
Sevan Matossian (07:15):
Oh
Ra of Earth (07:16):
Yes. You can have your own podcast channel in YouTube.
Sevan Matossian (07:21):
Oh, that’s interesting. Hey, on your home, welcome to
Ra of Earth (07:24):
Know everybody
Sevan Matossian (07:26):
On your homepage. Can you have a,
Ra of Earth (07:29):
In terms of energy, I need to optimize all of this.
Sevan Matossian (07:33):
I wonder if on your homepage you can get it as one of the You’re
Ra of Earth (07:37):
Right, I can, but I just need to select that option.
Sevan Matossian (07:42):
I don’t know if I, I don’t really understand. No, you’re right. Yeah, I don’t know if I understand YouTube anymore.
Ra of Earth (07:48):
I need to have it as one of those things. But like I said, there’s only one episode so far. I’ve am taping them right now, but now I’m releasing ’em every single week.
Sevan Matossian (07:58):
Hey, why do you only release it to your community at first? Why not do it live for everyone? It’s like a bonus or a,
Ra of Earth (08:07):
Why don’t I do it live for everyone? Because the goal is to build a community that I don’t have to play to the algorithms on Instagram and even YouTube doing it live here. So part of the incentive to get people to join the community is having exclusive interviews. And then once that gets built up, I can think about bringing the live interviews to a real live public audience. But right now it’s just the private community. It’s free to be in the community.
Sevan Matossian (08:43):
I don’t know if it’s still like this, but so basically all of our shows go live to just whoever. And then for some shows, I don’t know if it’s all shows, maybe Caleb answer this, but for some shows you can only comment in the chat if you’re a subscriber. And I think that was Is that still for all the shows, Caleb?
Caleb Beaver (09:07):
No, you have to change the settings for each individual show.
Sevan Matossian (09:11):
Oh, okay. You can’t just make that the default setting.
Caleb Beaver (09:14):
Yeah, I don’t
Sevan Matossian (09:14):
Think so. So I think when we’re going to do really big shows, if we’re going to do a live big CrossFit event and we’re trying to get more subscribers, we make it so only subscribers can chat anyway
Ra of Earth (09:25):
Only. And are these Oh, subscribers.
Sevan Matossian (09:28):
Just subscribers. Just subscribers to the channel. I just subscribe to your channel. I click subscribe and then choose chose all notifications. Then once you do that and you’ve been a subscriber for five minutes, you can start commenting in the chat.
Ra of Earth (09:40):
That’s amazing. Yeah, I think YouTube’s getting really sophisticated and I think that it might be one of the, I mean it already is the main channel, but I think it’s definitely going to get more and more popular, especially if tiktoks going away.
Sevan Matossian (09:59):
Hey, and do you use TikTok?
Ra of Earth (10:03):
I’ve just repurposed all my stuff on TikTok, but I really don’t get TikTok. I’ve never been able to monetize TikTok. I do have an audience there that I have very low engagement though.
Sevan Matossian (10:16):
Your Instagram account got big since the last time I had you on.
Ra of Earth (10:20):
Yeah, it’s decent. I think I could definitely do it in a more professional optimized way, but it’s just me running the whole show. So
Sevan Matossian (10:30):
What does that mean, professional? What do you mean?
Ra of Earth (10:33):
Well, there’s just a lot of holes in what I’m doing. If I have an idea for a piece of content, actually doing it is there’s a gap between the idea of video pictures. I mean, I pretty much just put captions on my video and they’re just talking head videos, which doesn’t really play to the algorithm very well.
Sevan Matossian (11:00):
I mean, shit, dude, 150,000 followers. That’s great. I want to say the last time I had you on, you had like 50
Ra of Earth (11:07):
Maybe also I a am doing a lot of work with, I think I was maybe hovering around a hundred. Oh,
Sevan Matossian (11:16):
You were? Okay. I mean, still 50 is huge. Huge growth
Ra of Earth (11:23):
And yeah, so there’s just only so much I can do on my own though, so it’s really lazy. If I had some, and I also do a lot of interviews and a lot of lives, and that all needs to be cut up into content and then I just don’t have the time or the bandwidth to do it all. I would like to do it like a professional team. Like I said.
Sevan Matossian (11:47):
Did you try the AI reel maker? It’s called Opus or something. Have you tried that? Have you fucked with
Ra of Earth (11:54):
That? I’ve tried that. I also have decipher,
Sevan Matossian (11:57):
Which breaks down, I dunno, that one
Ra of Earth (11:59):
Decipher breaks down long form content, like podcasts especially into show notes and chapters and keywords and titles. So I use Decipher a lot and Decipher also does what Opus does, but very poorly. I also did try Opus when it first came out and it would produce maybe 10 to 15 reels and one of them maybe was good. So I don’t know if it’s still that bad.
Sevan Matossian (12:28):
Dude, I got Opus. It’s relatively inexpensive compared to, I also got some AI dubbing software, which is crazy expensive to start a Portuguese channel, but Opus makes all my podcasts into 50 reels, and by the time I’ve gone through all 50 reels, there’s only one or two I like. And then I’m like, well, I could have just watched the whole podcast again and made my own. I’m just like, I don’t know man. That’s They’re not
Ra of Earth (12:57):
Complete thoughts or it’s really bad.
Sevan Matossian (13:03):
Turn it up when raw talks, turn it down when SE talks. I could just keep turning myself down here. I’ll turn myself down even more. How’s that? I can just keep turning myself down. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah, just keep telling me until the audios are good. Have
Ra of Earth (13:16):
Check, sound check.
Sevan Matossian (13:17):
Have you ever had issues with your audio before? No. If you’re, has anyone ever said your audios low? Hold
Ra of Earth (13:29):
On, let me make sure I’m actually using my microphone.
Sevan Matossian (13:31):
You are. Tap it with your finger. I hear it. Yeah, when you put your mouth to it, it sounds good. Yeah,
Ra of Earth (13:37):
The problem is if I turn my mic up, sound check, sound check, sound check, sound check. Hello, hello. Sometimes you start hearing scratching. Do you guys hear any scratching?
Sevan Matossian (13:49):
No, you sound great. What do you, on your road caster, that little dial, do you have it at the 50 yard line or below the
Ra of Earth (13:56):
50 yard? It’s a little below the 50.
Sevan Matossian (14:01):
Okay. And I have mine a lot below, three dots below the 50. No, it’s better. Sean says it’s better.
Ra of Earth (14:07):
Yeah, I just turned up the digital knob. So I’m at 58 db, but I’m in the green zone. Before I wasn’t in the green zone.
Sevan Matossian (14:16):
I don’t also want to rule out that the entire audience has hearing issues. I mean, let’s be realistic. Let’s be, can he fit the whole mic into his mouth? A different show? Wrong channel. Hey, did you choose that blue cover for a reason?
Ra of Earth (14:31):
Blue? I just like blue. It
Sevan Matossian (14:33):
Looks good.
Ra of Earth (14:33):
I ordered, did I order the pink one? I don’t think I ordered the pink one, but I ordered a blue, an orange, and then a whole bunch of other ones for another mic that we have. But yeah, somewhere in Europe. Microphone covers blue. You can find it. Yeah, they have this color pink too,
Sevan Matossian (14:53):
Which
Ra of Earth (14:54):
I thought was cool.
Sevan Matossian (14:54):
Are you still married?
Ra of Earth (14:56):
Yes.
Sevan Matossian (14:57):
How’s that going?
Ra of Earth (14:59):
Really good. Really good. We moved to Ventura, so we moved out of LA again, and Ventura is close enough to LA where we can go there whenever we want. It takes an hour to get into la and we really like our lifestyle. We play tennis almost every single day. Yeah, we live right by the beach. Ride our bikes. Yeah, so life is good.
Sevan Matossian (15:27):
I played tennis yesterday in one my toenails, one of my toenails is I looked down in the shower this morning, it’s all fucked up. It’s like black and blue. I knew I was playing with my 9-year-old son and he was beating me up pretty good and I knew. Did you ever fuck your toenails up doing tennis?
Ra of Earth (15:44):
No. I bought some tennis shoes at first I was
Sevan Matossian (15:47):
Resisting. Oh, those are gnarly. My son wears tennis shoes too. Those are gnarly. They’re like rock climbing shoes, kind of like one level down the way they keep, they’re really tight to your feet. It’s almost like you’re barefoot, but it’s like Japanese binding.
Ra of Earth (15:58):
I was wearing barefoot shoes, grounding shoes or the five fingers, and my wife was like, there’s no way you’re going to play tennis in that. So we went to a tennis store and she bought shoes and I just bought the ones on clearance. I wasn’t really into it, but they do make a difference because they hold everything still.
Sevan Matossian (16:20):
It’s kind of crazy. So when my son was younger, he would play a lot of tennis barefoot and the tennis coach is like, Hey dude, you can’t do that. And I said, why? He said, because when you’re running laterally and you have to slow down, you drag your back foot to slow yourself down, it’s the brakes and he’s not going to learn that skill. If he’s barefoot, no one’s going to drag their foot. So he got tennis shoes and like you said, they’re like, we were talking, they’re really tight because they have to basically become one with your feet. So one time I played tennis with him in those old man keen sandals. I played those and because my foot was, I really hurt my knee, it recovered. But you can’t have a shoe that’s loose on your feet either. You’ll fuck your knee up. And so the only thing is you suffer through the foot binding so that, I mean, it’s basically warrior gear. Yeah, I was wearing some dumb shit like that. Come on Caleb, come on Caleb. Be cool, fool. Why you got to do me? That was fine.
Ra of Earth (17:22):
Those old man trail hikers.
Sevan Matossian (17:25):
So it’s basically warrior gear. They protect you, they let you play better. It’s weird. I still don’t own a pair, but every time, soon as we get to the car, I love taking off his shoes for him. I sit him in the seat and I have him face me. I take his shoes off and I like looking at his face as I take his shoes off, I see his whole face go. Ah, because he plays so much in his poor toes.
Ra of Earth (17:56):
Yeah. I actually put them on when I get to the tennis court and take them off when I am leaving because they are pretty stiff.
Sevan Matossian (18:04):
As soon as you’re done, you you want them off. You got to let the toes get out, right?
Ra of Earth (18:08):
Yeah, yeah.
Sevan Matossian (18:09):
But it’s cool that it’s warrior gear. It’s like you realize, hey, if you’re going to play it’s equipment.
Ra of Earth (18:14):
Yeah, it’s exactly equipment. And I played hockey my whole life. So actually the way I stop is really aggressive. I think I’m just used to, it’s almost like a hockey stop when I’m stopping and starting on the court. It’s probably not correct. But
Sevan Matossian (18:32):
You play tap tennis or you learn in the real strokes with top spin and back?
Ra of Earth (18:38):
Yeah, all of that. It’s been two months. My wife used to play in the USTA when she was younger, so not like pro level, but that was where she was going. Her brother is a pro though, so she played when she was very young. She hasn’t played in 20 years though, so she’s really good. And I hit with her.
Sevan Matossian (18:59):
Are you enjoying it?
Ra of Earth (19:01):
Yeah, I mean, I enjoy being outside. I also enjoy doing something fun with my wife that’s not just sitting there and talking, which I also enjoy listening, but I’m not so much into talking. So it’s really good to do something athletic and fun with her. We met in a gym, so we used to do CrossFit together and it’s been a while since we’ve been athletic together.
Sevan Matossian (19:28):
Tensions ever run high when you’re playing tennis, it gets competitive
Ra of Earth (19:32):
With her. I think it does.
Sevan Matossian (19:36):
I mean, tensions run high with my son.
Ra of Earth (19:39):
Yeah, I mean
Sevan Matossian (19:40):
Tennis, he can get really intense. He’ll start doing this weird laugh right before he cries and if he’s behind in points and I see him go through some shit.
Ra of Earth (19:51):
Have you seen that movie about Serena or Serena and Venus?
Sevan Matossian (19:56):
I watched the doc and the movie. Yeah, I watched the movie with Will Smith, Mr. Slapper. Slapper Man. And I watched the doc. Yeah. Did you watch both of them?
Ra of Earth (20:10):
I think just the movie because there’s that scene where he is basically telling them they have to have fun and to not get angry after. And I thought that’s really important for tennis because it is all about you. It’s like a lot of pressure.
Sevan Matossian (20:28):
The coach, many years ago, I heard him tell my son, he said, Hey, the best tennis players in the world have only won their games have only scored in aggregate of all their games. Like 55% of the points, the three best players in the world, that’s the best. People have scored 55% points, meaning that it’s fucking always close. And he also said this, the game’s never over. There’s no clock. So until you lose, you’re still in it. And I’m like, oh my God. And so there’s games where he’s down five, we play these games to 11, we have our own little thing we do. And there’s games where it’ll be five to 10 and you’re like, holy shit, I’m still in it. But man, your mindset is just fucked, right? You’re just like, Hey, I’m just going to take the L. But it’s like you said, it’s crazy pressure. You’re still in it. There’s no clock until you lose.
Ra of Earth (21:25):
I think it’s a good lesson.
Sevan Matossian (21:28):
It’s not like basketball where the clock’s against you
Ra of Earth (21:32):
And if you’re down, then the more time that goes, the less likely it is for you to come back.
Sevan Matossian (21:40):
What is this? Those are the longest games. There was an 11 hour game
Caleb Beaver (21:46):
And it spanned three days. These are the top three longest games in tennis history.
Sevan Matossian (21:50):
Holy crap, dude. Seven hours. Yeah. Fuck that. I played basically as hard as I could yesterday, I think probably for 80 minutes. And I was worked. I was Did you play
Ra of Earth (22:04):
Tennis
Sevan Matossian (22:04):
Before? No. I got to the car and I’m taking off his shoes and I look at him and I go, Hey dude, nine years ago if you had asked me if I would just have a son, I’d have said, fuck no. And if you’d told me I’d be playing tennis, I’d be like, not in a million years. And now it’s like my favorite thing to do is play tennis with my 9-year-old son. It’s weird. He started laughing, gave me a big hug and a kiss. He said, I love you. I said, thanks.
Ra of Earth (22:30):
It’s a fun game. It’s getting the ball in the little holes in the court and running. Yeah, it’s very kid game to me, but I think that’s fun to play as an adult.
Sevan Matossian (22:47):
You ever hit your racket on the ground yet?
Ra of Earth (22:50):
Not on purpose,
Sevan Matossian (22:51):
No. Not out of like, fuck this thing. No, I haven’t done that either. But my son a couple years ago broke a racket on the ground and then I made him tell his coach and man, his coach was pissed, his coach was pissed. Hey, he hit his racket on the ground raw and broke it and it was caved in on the side and the strings were all loose. And I go, holy shit, dude, you just broke $120 racket. And he’s like, it’s fine, it’s fine. He’s pulling the side. It’s fine. I’m like, come on, dude. He hasn’t done it again yesterday. We hadn’t talked about it in a couple of years. He goes, you remember the coach told me if I ever break another racket, I have to sit out for two months. I’m like, yeah, I remember. But I get the sentiment of wanting to hit your racket on the ground. I understand it.
Ra of Earth (23:43):
Yeah. So when that happens, you have to go into father mode and handle the situation very consciously. And you said you just broke $120 racket. Did that mean something to him?
Sevan Matossian (24:05):
He was tripping. He was so embarrassed. And I just tell him, I said, Hey, dude, everything you’re feeling is right. You should be embarrassed. No one thinks it’s cool to lose control. I go, now listen, if you did it on purpose to lose control, I’m all for showing off, but I don’t think that’s what you did. Is that what you’re doing? He’s like, no. I’m like, yeah, I’m all for conscious stunts. But I’m like, man, you had a thought and you let it take you over. I explain it to him just like how I perceive how the human mind works, and he got it. And I go and Hey, dude, emotional energy is the most powerful energy. Don’t ever, if you wanted to do that, I’m all for you doing it. But if you didn’t want to do that, you just, fuck, look at your whole, because he fell into shambles. He was crying. I’m like, look, you’ve fallen into shambles. There’s a place and a time for that, but I don’t think you wanted this to be that time. And I think he got it.
Ra of Earth (24:57):
Yeah. The brain goes through different states of awareness. So he goes into the emotional and that takes resources away from the logical brain. And so then you just act out of emotion. But you can even degrade, I guess, degrades a little bit accurate. You can degrade into your survival brain and that’s when he realizes something, he did something wrong, and then you get maybe even scared or that’s really
Sevan Matossian (25:30):
Calm comes in. Yeah, I think he did scare himself.
Ra of Earth (25:34):
And then you’re into the primitive, am I even safe in this environment? And it’s almost like he goes through the process and you get to watch it as a father, and hopefully you stay in your logical and not go into emotional and start reacting to his reaction.
Sevan Matossian (25:51):
I did not yell at him at all. My newest, I shouldn’t say my newest thing, but the thing that I’ve embraced the most over the years is I’ll be like, Hey, we’re going to the garage right now to work out. And one of ’em will be like, Hey, my ankle hurts. And I’ll be like, Hey dude, I totally trust you can do. You’ll do what you can do. And nine out of 10 times they just get through it. That works. They’re like, or Hey, we’re going to Jiujitsu tournament. They’re like, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to do it. I’m like, no problem. I totally trust you.
(26:24):
You’ll make the right decision when we get there. And nine out of 10 times they like, because I don’t want to take any of their power. They’re trying to give their power to me. They’re trying have me make decisions for them, and I’ve already made the boundaries. They already know we do jiujitsu. The rules that I’ve taken, the power from ’em is they know they have to do jiujitsu, whatever, five or six days a week. They have to go to practice, they have to put their gear on, they have to go to the tournament. But once we get there, I trust you. And one of my kids has only done three of the 10 tournaments, and I don’t fucking harsh him at all. I know it’s eating. I know personally it’s eating away at him. He knows he’s really good and he’s going to have to eventually jump through that roof and regather all that power. But I’m not taking it from him. I’m not making the decisions for him. No fucking way. A lot of people will make decisions. I mean, that’s what the government does. That’s why people like the government. It takes the power from him. It makes the decisions for them.
(27:19):
I ain’t doing that. Try not to do it.
Ra of Earth (27:22):
So what about other things like creativity? And
Sevan Matossian (27:28):
I learned that working with retards, by the way, when I worked at a home for disabled adults, they’re trained to give away the power. The system trains them to give away the power. And I learned quickly, oh shit, don’t take the power decision making power from them. Sorry, go ahead.
Ra of Earth (27:48):
Do they get to invest their time and energy in other things besides athletics?
Sevan Matossian (27:55):
Yeah. Yesterday they came into my office and took a fucking lighter from my office. I this, I have this lighter where it’s A-U-S-B-C lighter and you turn it on and it makes an arc so you can start a fire. I’ve never even used it. And they came in here and opened one of my drawers and after about an hour I realized, oh, they’re in the backyard starting fires.
Ra of Earth (28:17):
That’s a boys do.
Sevan Matossian (28:18):
Yeah, I know. Totally. And it was so great. I told my wife to see how she’d react to fuck with her. She’s just like, oh, okay. I’m like, oh damn.
Ra of Earth (28:28):
Well, you have a big yard. If they burn down some of it, it’s all right. Yeah,
Sevan Matossian (28:33):
They get tons, tons of free time. Tons, tons and tons of free time. I mean, they need it in between events to bring ’em home, open the door, and like you said, you’ve been to my house, they’re go do your thing. My son told me the other day, he wants to be a rapper, and he wrote his first rap
Ra of Earth (28:54):
Nice.
Sevan Matossian (28:55):
And I rapped it for him. He didn’t even want to rap it. He wrote it and I wrapped it for him.
Ra of Earth (29:00):
That’s a good combo. Yeah. So that’s what I mean. What if he wants to work on his writing instead of going to jujitsu?
Sevan Matossian (29:09):
No, no. You got to do jiujitsu tennis and skateboarding. And in school you have to do those things. Piano, Armenian, there are these things that they do, but they’re only seven and nine. They don’t know. Do you remember when we used to go to school as a kid? You just went to school, just no questions asked. You just get up, you go to school, you get it. So those are the things that they do. And I don’t if it’s true or not, but I’ve justified it that they’re going to thank me. They’re never going to be like when they’re 18 years old in their purple belts, they’re not going to be, or brown belts. They’re not going to be like, holy shit, you’re a dick. Right. For teaching me how to defend myself. Yeah, they’re never.
