Buseyisms have been coming through me.
I don't make them up, they just come through me.
I'm a messenger.
N-U-T-S, that stands for Never Underestimate The Spirit.
You have to do yoga, yoga on the balcony, and fart, or burp.
You can do it in the presence of all of us
because we're all on the same team.
And the word TEAM, T-E-A-M stands for
Together Everyone Achieves More.
We made a Buseyism out of it,
First Love Yourself.
(audience clapping)
That's Luke.
That's who did that.

As actor Gary Busey's star continued to rise in Hollywood,
so did his dangerous behavior.
He says in his autobiography, Buseyisms,
the addict inside of him was unleashed one night
after a man, who called himself "the devil" showed up
at his door dressed like a Beverly Hills rodeo clown
with a little blue box containing a chunk of cocaine
with his initials engraved in the middle.
I didn't even know you could do that.
(audience laughing) Well...
I can't, but you can. But that was the beginning.
It was a rock about that big.
You actually snorted cocaine off your dog?
Oh yeah, that's what an addict does.
So tell me about that.
Okay, I came in the house, took off my little windbreaker,
flipped it out, and two bindles of cocaine,
like in a wrapper, came out of my coat and hit the floor.
My dog Chili started rolling in it.
The bindles of the cocaine got all over her
so what do you do when you're an addict?
You go snort the dog.
(audience laughing)
And that's what I did.
But you don't just get cocaine, you get little fleas,
and bugs, and little things, and the hair.
It's a potpourri of-- I had to ask.
(audience laughing)
You said cocaine became your hero, what do you mean?
Cocaine was my everything.
Cocaine was...
My family, my career, and everything in my life
ran a distant second.
Right.
Cocaine was here.
And I OD'd.
Finally, I'm in the hospital laying on the bed,
stretched out like this with a tube in my throat that big,
breathing, and I felt liquid coming out of my eyes, my nose,
and my mouth where they were pumping my stomach and I got...
May the 3rd, 1995 was my last...
It was when I OD'd on cocaine.
I've been clean for 25 years!
(audience clapping)
You didn't matter at that point.
Yeah.
(whistles) Tour over.
(audience laughing)
Now, after that accident...
After your accidental overdose,
you were actually facing felony charges.
Why?
Felony charges?
I was?
(audience laughing)
For drug possession.
Well, explain that to me, Lucy.
Well, apparently, you had a lot of cocaine
when you overdosed.
I guess were arrested with enough that it was a felony.
Well...
I don't think they prosecuted you for it.
No, they didn't but they did that.
I had cocaine things in my pocket.
Whoa!
Don't ever do cocaine!
(audience clapping)
It will kill you!
I am an experienced one at that.
Okay, no, no, no, no.
Better than doing cocaine is going to
Knotts Berry Farm, naked.
That's where you can have fun.
(audience laughing)
So, did you try that too?
(laughs)
No, not yet.
(audience laughing)
You want to go?
(audience laughing) Um...
