1
Is the door to Iron Man totally closed?
2
Because I don't believe it is.
3
Every day, the reset button, the space bar gets pressed, and it's like, now what?
4
30 years, he has struggled with a dangerous drug addiction that nearly destroyed him.
5
And today, he says he's clean, he's in love.
6
And so by the time you're in prison, that's not rock bottom for you?
7
Nope.
8
It's easy to embrace hopelessness when things seem insurmountable.
9
And yet, it's actually just a matter of time until all of the elements come together for things to be all right.
10
I mean, I believe that, you know, most difficult situations will resolve themselves if you are persistent and if you don't give up entirely.
11
And that's what I never did.
12
I never gave up.
13
Do you still get urges to do drugs?
14
I have not even an inkling of a desire.
15
It's not that difficult to overcome these seemingly ghastly problems.
16
What's hard is to decide. that thing
17
that you're wearing around your neck yes being as you are
18
obviously known as being iron man are you concerned with wearing
19
a large thing in the exact same spot life is funny
20
because i was doing this before i ever got fitted for the rt
21
so it was more of uh art imitating oddball stuff i was doing anyway even more interesting
22
because maybe you were born to be iron man
23
because iron man obviously had that loosely pre -arranged destiny
24
and what's incredible is how far afield you can go from it
25
and still find your way back this concept of things just
26
sort of falling into place i'm a big believer in that too what is that though is that you
27
getting out of your own way isn't
28
that 70 of it yeah yeah i'd say it's 70 maintenance
29
of what can i do to do my part to stay out of the way
30
and then the other part i always think of it as like this little super thin invisible thread
31
but you can feel the tug
32
and you just kind of you have to be really gentle you have to pause
33
when agitated and you have to go for it
34
when you're gonna like there's four walls in here
35
which one has the map behind it you it's that one
36
and you knock down the wall and it's there you know yeah what is
37
that though that's a synchronicity yeah uh intuition
38
i don't know right it's the big i don't know
39
and i really feel it's so funny at this point in my life
40
and being you know kind of middle -aged and all
41
that well i know i'm going to fly around the world i'm going to sell some soap
42
and i know i have a new project
43
and i know i've just retired my jersey on this 12 -year journey i've been on
44
and uh and how do i want to start
45
and it came up how would you like to go yes
46
that's exactly what i'm going to do i'm going to go have the joe rogan experience
47
and kick off this year and this season
48
and this new chapter by doing what i love i think part of the reason i'm still
49
so interested not just in life
50
but also you know getting to do what i do is
51
i'm a fan i love movies i love creativity i love music i love i love culture
52
and the fact that i actually have a place in it
53
while i'm observing it and digging it is like it's it's
54
it's an honor even though he has a whole lot of
55
money even though he's iron man dude here's the deal he's still nice my daughter is four years old
56
and she says daddy don't you know iron man can't you
57
hook it up it's my birthday can he come to my birthday can you make it happen daddy
58
and this is at his height this is when it's everything is going
59
and i text him
60
and i said listen man uh my daughter you know she loves iron man
61
if you got time you know i'm saying you know
62
if you'd stop by
63
and this is the day before her birth this saturday sunday
64
is is the birthday he texts back he said is 12
65
o 'clock noon good is the door to iron man totally closed
66
because i don't believe it is oh you guys can go through time now let me ask you the question
67
if i pick the jersey back up
68
and put it on wouldn't you feel a little bit like
69
oh no crap no oh i i love you as iron man
70
so i would i would if you if they opened up this time machine
71
and you popped out i just imagine the moment where everybody
72
goes crazy it would be amazing it'd be great i would love
73
that but i also love you hanging it up it's just i keep thinking see clearly
74
and it's difficult because i i feel like we all just get buffeted by feelings
75
and ego or fears or little you know chips of resentments
76
or intuitions that are tied to something maybe higher
77
but you think is out of your reach or whatever
78
so i need to be kept uh right -sized because i can easily fall into
79
Self -seeking and depression and self -pity and judgment and all that stuff.
80
It's kind of a, it's a bit of a default, but I spend enough energy and I've had enough.
81
help over enough years to actually just say oh that's that's
82
just awful destructive behavior you're entertaining in your head you know
83
if i'm noticing anything now it's that we need to shift
84
and we need new challenges and just like society
85
and politics things are moving and morphing and the information age is making things
86
so everything's learning and growing from everything so quickly and improving or disproving.
87
But for me, it's just incredible.
88
Our culture never encourages taking a break, never encourages saying, don't chase that thing because you've got it in your hands.
89
So confidence, you know, there's been times when I felt I'm in possession of it.
90
And then you want to let go a little bit
91
because it's only ever the moment and life guiding you the wind is
92
so at your back
93
that you're like wow are you just are you just you know jumping over the waves
94
and all that by yourself and you're like you bet i am
95
but there's a physics to the moment and the winds at your back
96
and then the wind does what the fucking wind does
97
and it changes and if you're left there thinking what you know
98
so i think it's great to be in full possession of what you would call supreme confidence
99
and then see what happens if you don't hold on to it so hard because it's great, but it is a bit of an illusion because like everything else, it's always changing.
100
Always know what your action is because then
101
when you come in in the morning confident or
102
when you come in in the morning and you can't hit your ass with both hands, you know what to do.
103
Just boil down what it is you're doing, whether there's a camera around or just what am I doing today?
104
Today, I'm showing up and I'm trying to be honest
105
and also to listen and learn but really my action today is I'm beginning a process of promotion.
106
You actually take comfort in the fact that your eyesight is starting to dwindle?
107
You want to chase it
108
but what I appreciate is you know where you're at by what you're able to retain
109
if you fight for it and the things that are going no matter what you do.
110
Sometimes it's about I don't need to try to use something to hold on to everything.
111
I want to pick the five or seven things
112
that I definitely want to hold on to
113
and I want to watch the rest of it go in and out with the tides.
114
Smile, though your heart is aching.
115
Smile, even though it's breaking.
116
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by.
117
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
