I just wish he'd admitted to being under the influence sometimes when he was wrestling. It's a really bad thing for an addict to keep lying about stuff like that, and we all know he was f'd up many, many times in the ring. I just hope now that AEW is a complete clown show that Jake doesn't fall back to his habits. Also I hope Jake has himself a woman :)
@jules8876 The period Joe and Jake were discussing was before Jake started showing up to indie gigs fat, bald, and fucked up out of his mind. He wasn't being dishonest, they were just discussing an earlier period in his life.
"That is the insanity of the disease. The disease will let you sit in a place for 3 or 4 months and not touch you. It won't even come knocking on your door, because it knows you're locked in, you're gonna do this. But its over there doing push ups in the corner waiting on your ass" .. this is the best description of addiction I ever heard!
That's a pretty damn good description of whats going on. Ice been to three rehab centers. getting clean is easy (more or less). Staying clean inside the center is easy. Now I wouldn't go back to my habit right away like he describes calling his dealer but it always seemed to find me again. The booze especially. You have no self awareness, and the damage you can cause from that blindness is horrible.
Much love Jake the snake! I just got a new job as an oil lubrication technician! I was a homeless junkie! Now my life is reaching new heights! God bless you brother! I see your authenticity!
This guy was THE tragic story of pro wrestling forever. I'm beyond thrilled that he's gotten clean, and gotten his life back. That is awesome. Maybe my favorite wrestler from the early 90s.
I remember when he did the Heroes of Wrestling show and made some let's just say obscene gestures with his snake. He looked rough back then, but now he's completely turned his entire life around and I'm happy for him.
I never would have guessed this man had so much pain inside him. He's come so far after what he's been through. What a fucking fascinating human being.
He talked with such openness and honesty, this is a recovered man, no matter if he slips or not. He knows himself. It takes hard work to get to this stage in life, it has given me much to think about.
14:05 - When he started talking about shame, I started crying. His life was so heartbreaking. I'm so glad he's still around to talk about it and be open about it. I love ya man!
Jake Roberts, Your a gift from god, im not religious by the way, but hearing you speak, for the first time ever today, mean alot im sure to many. True hero.
What DDP did for Jake and Scott Hall was miracle work. Those two were some that we as lifelong wrestling fans thought would not make it to even be alive now. God Bless Jake, Scott, and Dallas.
I was the kid growing up that hated all the baby faces, Jake Roberts was one of my all time favorite heels. Great memories of my youth. It makes me so happy that Jake is in a good place in life. Glad he reconnected with his family.
Sexual and physical abuse happens to boys and men more than people know. It's time we start taking care of the men and boys in society. We need more programs to help men and boys. They constantly suffer in silence because if they speak out, they are mocked, shamed, or people don't believe. They are constantly told to "man up" The truth is society would collapse without them.
Victims are victims. It happens to all of us, more than people know. Male and female alike, suffer in silence. We're all in this together, ....aannnd we can make real change, together. ✊🏼

Probably one of the top 3 guests Joe has had on his podcast. IMO Jake lived a life of incredible up’s and unimaginable downs. The documentaries,books are incredible. And even more amazing to see how far he’s come. ✊
Thank you guys. Jake is one of a kind , He came out and spoke in Australia a couple of years ago , truly inspirational and very funny , an honour to meet him.
So inspiring to hear Jake's story. I can understand his story as an ex addict myself. His road to getting clean shows that it is possible with heart and determination!
This was really emotional for me to watch this man talk about what he’s been through. Seeing someone I would call a hero so vulnerable is hard thing to compute. Much love Jake, I’m proud of you. And when he started roasting Jamie at the end I was like yessss.. there’s Jake the Snake! 🐍
14:00 i was in tears as he told me about shame, im so glad DDP got him clean, i loved him as a wrestler when i was younger, he was my favourite and im so pleased that he got clean and now he’s a lot happier and contented, you can see it
The most open I have ever heard of addition spoken. As a wrestling fan from the time I was 5 years old, and as an addict from my late teens, I could never begin to understand how hard it was to publicly speak about these things. Jake... You truly are an inspiration.
The brutal honesty on display here is refreshing and as a lifelong pro wrestling fan, it's great to see guys like Jake Roberts healthy again and maybe using their own experiences to help others. Also diamond Dallas Page is one of the best human beings around.
In a business that's *riddled* with tragic stories, addiction, rejection and very literal as well as not so literal pain, it is honestly great to see a story of a great guy who got dealt a shitty hand and still ended up turning his life around. I'm not even a fan of wrestling and yet I absolutely admire Jake the Snake because his story gave me a better understanding of what my dad went through when he quit drinking.
Jake’s honesty and openness is so inspiring. How many of us have deep shame and insecurities that no one would guess or understand? When you see someone with an addiction or maybe on the street, maybe think first of what brought them to that point before assuming any sane person would want to be addicted or living on the street. Hats off to Jake the Snake for showing his profoundness and maturity. I hope his story helps a lot of people.
I was the same way with oxys in the beginning had mad energy could do laps at my labor job but once you get use to it the energy wears off and the addiction slowly creeps in...this man is lucky to be alive after hearing all the shit he been through wish you all the best snake man
Yeah same. It's the intense euphoria, don't get me wrong, if I wanted to nod out I'd just sit down for a minute. But I used to take 250 mgs of methadone just to start the day and work circles around everyone on the crew all day, even 12+hrs days sometimes. But then when I was off work I'd take another 350mgs to sit (or stand and lean) and nod out. Crazy shit
Wow, what a turnaround! So happy to see Jake happy and healthy! This man single handedly formed my fear of snakes but he was one of my favorites too lol. Good for you Jake! DDP was the car, but you still had to sit in it and start it up, such an inspiration
God bless this man bro. That's a very sad story to hear. It's even sadder when you realize that a lot of people go through that kind of s*** growing up if you had a good household and a good family life. Thank your parents every now and then bro. Not everybody gets that.
well its good advice to start, but once your in deep weeds not going to do much for you when your craving those hard drugs. It can still be fun, but the addiction to those hard drugs comes with a lot of addiction, depression, and anxiety when you dont have them that nothing really touches it except the hard drugs, this is especially true of opiates because of the physical withdrawal, but crack, coke or any difficult drug is going to be a tough spot.
I loved watching this man wrestle! He was a great, entertaining wrestler! Wrestling was full of great personalities back then. 1970's and 1980's were the golden age of wrestling!
That. Friggin. Guy. He was my hero growing up, but I think he's MORE my hero now. What a remarkable human. I can't even say enough good things to express how much respect I have for that man.
jake is the living embodiment of a man whos gone to the bottom,dug even further down,but still came out on top.... hope he's living his best life with his family and friends
Damn this hit close to home . Thank you jake for being so open and honest with you’re struggles especially the sexual issues it may be strange but I instantly felt better knowing you had a similar childhood to mine .
First saw this about 2019. Know that Jake has had many trials, largely health related, since this interview with Joe. Still, it remains inspiring to see that, for a while at least, he was able to get help, pull himself up, and feel good about his life.
This is great love hearing this kind of stuff. I have 7 years and some change clean today . When I see people turn there life around it makes so happy .
😢 Wow, the honesty and they way he conveys the emotions he feels in his storytelling is amazing. Thats what we need.. inspiration through truth. Thanks Jake, and thank you DDP for saving this soul.
@@mrtambourineman6107 Have you ever told A truth like this man has. I doubt your perfect dude. Matter of fact I'm certain you are not. So do me and the world a favor and save your 2 cents yea?
The film Jake is talking about that made him look real bad was "beyond the mat" from 1997. Wrestling doc. I'm sure he's embarrassed about it now but he really was a mess then. It's amazing how good he is now.
I'm a double bilateral lower limb amputee. I lost my legs at the age of 9 months old in a car train accident with my father. I'm 45 now in my arms are so worn out that they put me in an electric wheelchair because I can't wheel myself because of the pain. I have yearly surgeries on my elbows just to keep them going. I was around a hundred sixty pounds and that was perfect for me I'm a very big bone guy as you can imagine from having to use my arms my whole life as arms and legs. I weigh about 235 pounds now and nothing I try is helping. I reached out DDP yoga. Explain my situation to him and I heard nothing back from them. I think they're just scared of me not having legs or something. I'm so glad that you got help from him Jake but I sure wish he would reach out to me.things are getting really bad and I don't know what to do anymore my health is bad. Joe if you have any ideas please let me know ..Jake if you have any ideas please let me know. I'd love to get back into my judo and martial arts and I have a second degree black belt in judo have a black belt in shotokan karate. But sadly I've had to give up all my training. I fought semi pro MMA here locally in Illinois and Iowa with 9 wins and 1 loss. I used to be so active but now things are so bad and I need help. Its like everybody I reach out to, to try to get a little help ,or ideas that will help will blow me off.... Really hoping you guys won't....
The " baby bird" comment out of Jake's mouth is what touched me because part of me feels that way about myself. Very powerful very strong man. God bless you Jake for your honesty. You're amazing. And Dallas is freaking amazing. I just love him. He's my lifeline right now
Don't know how you managed it, Buddy Vibe. I've been clean and sober for 28 years but I've been hammerin these smokes for 44 years. Can't put em away to save my soul. Mad props to ya 😎
@@carldavis1407 keep tryin, i never tried the patch before, but i did this time, and i felt good using them, after 30 yrs of smoking took me about 6 months on the patch .. you can do it Carl, and you'll feel a lot better
Cigs can be one of the hardest things to quit. For a guy like me who went down the Opiate rabbit hole for over a decade, cigarettes would just always go hand in hand. Still trying to stop smoking.
@Austin Batton Let me tell if you were an addict and in recovery...you would know..The behavior you had before you stopped is usually indicative of addiction. The fine line between heavy use and addiction is not known. Most people who've gotten to that point, either died, kept on using, quit later on...most people quit by choice. That's not the case when sliding into addiction from heavy use. The "wiring" people talk about is true..why is it other people could and not me...I often wondered why me?? as most people ask themselves..A few months back my mom told me i was on Ritalin before I was 10 yrs old. Around 5- years old i was on it and stopped before I was 8 yrs old.I was having a conversation with my younger brother and he told me that adolescences before the age of 10 who was on Ritalin, went and became addicted to cocaine/crack. beginning of use or using around early-to middle 20's when the try it..most become full blown addiction less than 5 years. It explained a few things that happened to me and how the Ritalin changed my brain...
"Shame is something that you put on yourself." This! Exactly this! Don't you ever forget it! No matter what kind of addiction, they are all self-defeating by nature. They start as a form of escapism. But they trap you! Which is exactly how any and every addiction maintains itself. Addiction puts you onto a never-ending guilt trip and chips away at your resilience, until it is in bits and pieces. Consumption remains the only "tried and true" coping mechanism left, all the while it becomes a major stressor itself. It's like a hellhound sustaining itself through it's own shit. That is why these cycles need thorough re-wiring to be broken through. And most addicts, at some point, will be too far out there to turn that franchise around on their own. Their internalized aggression and the biochemistry, that overwhelmingly governs behaviour, is completely out of whack. That is what you are dealing with as an addict and/or as a relative of an addict. Massive respect for Jake the Snake, DDP and Ramon! Listen carefuly to this man. There is much to learn. Because addiction, in my opinion, is the most commonly misunderstood disease on the planet. Unfortunately it is also one of the most volatile ones.
This entire interview is one of the most entertaining I've ever seen, and I don't even give af about wrestling lol.... Dude has some amazing stories to tell. I could listen to him talk for weeks.
I'm 47 days sober. It never got as bad as Jake is describing. But listening to him makes me sure I made the right decision
Stay on target.
Don t give up dude.
I'm 47 minutes sober. Still going strong!
Nobody likes quitters
Hell yeah keep it up
The honesty Jake offers here is to be admired. Not all of Joe’s guests are this empty of pretentiousness.
Very few are
Especially when he says it numbed him to the shame
I just wish he'd admitted to being under the influence sometimes when he was wrestling. It's a really bad thing for an addict to keep lying about stuff like that, and we all know he was f'd up many, many times in the ring.

Good for you. Stick with it!

Just say you do oil changes. Good job though buddy :)
This guy was THE tragic story of pro wrestling forever. I'm beyond thrilled that he's gotten clean, and gotten his life back. That is awesome. Maybe my favorite wrestler from the early 90s.
You know if he wasn't peoples favorite, he should be now after this.

It's amazing what DDP did for both Jake the Snake and Scott Hall, he basically revived them back from the fucking dead.
The man should be sainted.
I never would have guessed this man had so much pain inside him. He's come so far after what he's been through. What a fucking fascinating human being.

Shame can seriously kill you.
Watch the full show if you haven't. I can't tell you where! Because CZcams won't let me.. but you can find it if you try hard enough
11 months sober. Hearing one of my childhood hero's struggle and his story, make me feel better.
Hands down the resurrection of jake the snake best wrestling documentary ever #DDPYOGA
*_NO IT'S NOT._*
Beyond the Mat
I agree .Pick your Poison is a good one also.
Watching Jake’s portions in Beyond the Mat is required for a true immersive experience before watching Resurrection.
Another good recovery story is Addiction: Brandon Novak.

Dude just tells the truth like we breathe air, its beautiful to see such an open person about his struggles.
The strength it must take to bare your soul so honestly like Jake is phenomenal.

Jake is a brave man to finally talk about his abuse. Proud you Jake!

Definitely!
Hands down, my favorite wrestler.
So glad to see him healthy again, and his storytelling is masterful.
I’ve never heard a podcast that I could relate too and Jake is literally me . I’m crying writing this . I can’t believe this popped up on my phone
You should look for the full episodes if you haven't seen it. It's worth it. And can't tell you where because yt won't let me.. but it's out there
These Jake The Snake clips are heavy. Kudos to him for being able to overcome what he could and tell his story.
one of the most powerful interviews i have ever seen in my life, no exaggeration. God bless you jake!
I've never listened to whole podcast but I think imma have to watch this one.

I'm so glad that you got help from him Jake but I sure wish he would reach out to me.things are getting really bad and I don't know what to do anymore my health is bad. Joe if you have any ideas please let me know ..Jake if you have any ideas please let me know. I'd love to get back into my judo and martial arts and I have a second degree black belt in judo have a black belt in shotokan karate. But sadly I've had to give up all my training. I fought semi pro MMA here locally in Illinois and Iowa with 9 wins and 1 loss. I used to be so active but now things are so bad and I need help. Its like everybody I reach out to, to try to get a little help ,or ideas that will help will blow me off.... Really hoping you guys won't....
how can you fight in MMA and have a black belt in karate if you have had no legs for your whole life?
My favorite wrestler of all time,glad he’s still with us
Yep, a legend.
The " baby bird" comment out of Jake's mouth is what touched me because part of me feels that way about myself. Very powerful very strong man. God bless you Jake for your honesty. You're amazing. And Dallas is freaking amazing. I just love him. He's my lifeline right now
Wow I watched this guy my whole life I. I was born in 78 . I love jake snake roberts. He is real. Respect.
I want to see Jake talk to uncle Joey
Joey would have to shut the fuck up and not say a word, he'd have to just listen and learn.
So much rasp the mics might break
Man...have more WWE legends on the show!
Suchhhh a well spoken dude, so entertaining the whole podcast, I LOVE IT
These JTSR episodes are my favorite if all Joe's podcasts.
Bless Jake Roberts!!
i have quit smoking cigarettes for just over a year now,after 2 packs a day, it was tough. I cant imagine heavy drugs .
Don't know how you managed it, Buddy Vibe. I've been clean and sober for 28 years but I've been hammerin these smokes for 44 years. Can't put em away to save my soul. Mad props to ya 😎
@@carldavis1407 keep tryin, i never tried the patch before, but i did this time, and i felt good using them, after 30 yrs of smoking took me about 6 months on the patch .. you can do it Carl, and you'll feel a lot better
Cigs can be one of the hardest things to quit. For a guy like me who went down the Opiate rabbit hole for over a decade, cigarettes would just always go hand in hand. Still trying to stop smoking.
Stumbled on this fkn love the wisdom of Jake the Snake 🐍
Man I can imagine him being my grandfather and listening to his stories I would be all ears
Hes so right about the wiring ,how them drugs effect addicts
@Austin Batton You're an idiot
@Austin Batton Let me tell if you were an addict and in recovery...you would know..The behavior you had before you stopped is usually indicative of addiction. The fine line between heavy use and addiction is not known. Most people who've gotten to that point, either died, kept on using, quit later on...most people quit by choice. That's not the case when sliding into addiction from heavy use. The "wiring" people talk about is true..why is it other people could and not me...I often wondered why me?? as most people ask themselves..A few months back my mom told me i was on Ritalin before I was 10 yrs old. Around 5- years old i was on it and stopped before I was 8 yrs old.I was having a conversation with my younger brother and he told me that adolescences before the age of 10 who was on Ritalin, went and became addicted to cocaine/crack. beginning of use or using around early-to middle 20's when the try it..most become full blown addiction less than 5 years. It explained a few things that happened to me and how the Ritalin changed my brain...
"Shame is something that you put on yourself."
This! Exactly this! Don't you ever forget it!
No matter what kind of addiction, they are all self-defeating by nature. They start as a form of escapism. But they trap you! Which is exactly how any and every addiction maintains itself. Addiction puts you onto a never-ending guilt trip and chips away at your resilience, until it is in bits and pieces. Consumption remains the only "tried and true" coping mechanism left, all the while it becomes a major stressor itself.
It's like a hellhound sustaining itself through it's own shit. That is why these cycles need thorough re-wiring to be broken through. And most addicts, at some point, will be too far out there to turn that franchise around on their own. Their internalized aggression and the biochemistry, that overwhelmingly governs behaviour, is completely out of whack. That is what you are dealing with as an addict and/or as a relative of an addict.
Massive respect for Jake the Snake, DDP and Ramon! Listen carefuly to this man. There is much to learn. Because addiction, in my opinion, is the most commonly misunderstood disease on the planet. Unfortunately it is also one of the most volatile ones.
That documentary made me cry. I also have a new found respect for Dallas.
This entire interview is one of the most entertaining I've ever seen, and I don't even give af about wrestling lol.... Dude has some amazing stories to tell. I could listen to him talk for weeks.
