I uh the the whole thing that won for me at the end of Apprentice besides going in there and and and fighting hard obviously for uh people with diabetes and charity is we uh we made this drink at the end called Trop-A-Rocka which is now diet Snapple is one of their number one top selling drinks. It's an it's an awesome feeling.

Now I know diabetes research is really close to your heart. Tell me about that.

Well, here it is. For me, I've I've been a type one diabetic since I've been six years old. It's just part of my life. I've accepted it. But I'll tell you what, I've I've really went out of my way to raise a lot of money um to do not only just research for it, so this will all be done with, hopefully, but also send a lot of kids to um a lot of kids to camp. And so when kids do get it and they're young, they know how to deal with it and it was one of the things that helped save my life.

The cover of Billboard magazine is naked. Okay. You're naked.

I am naked, yes.

One word. Dude. Amazing.

Well, thank you.

Tell me your secrets for staying in shape because this body is ridiculous.

Well, let me say this. Here here is the first of all, when we went in to do that, I got to be funny first because I'm always self-deprecating first. I I first I came out, I'll be honest with you, I came out in my underwear. I was like, I'm just going to leave my underwear on. Is that cool? And they're like, that doesn't really work for a naked shot. So, um eventually we we got down to it but I'll tell you, I did I think for that entire day, I didn't eat anything. And then I laughed because I said I did about 1,000 sit-ups. And then you get into this like crunch position and you pray that one of these things actually turns out and I was laughing because I said in the picture, it looks like I have a uh a four-pack and then a pony keg. I'm like, thank God they put the lettering over my gut. It was perfect.

So, your TV show, Life As I Know It. Yes. is going to be taking us into your world with your girlfriend, your two girls, showing us everything. Tell us something we would never guess about you. Something no one knows.

I think this is what blows people's mind is and and and more than anything is I'm one of these guys that I think because they've seen me through my years with Poison, through Rock of Love. And I think what people misunderstand is is I'm I'm not a recluse on any level, but I love love my private time. I love my time with my family. And I especially love going down. I, you know, as a rocker, no one's gonna believe this, but when I finally have where I can sleep at night, when when I actually get a decent night's sleep, I I can wake up. I love getting up early in the morning if I can do it. It blows people's mind.

Emergency appendectomy. Correct. Brain hemorrhage. Absolutely. Stroke. That wasn't enough. And now. And you're still And now the heart, and you're in rock star shape and you're still drinking coffee. How are you doing it?

You know what? I I'm telling you this and it's really the truth. It's having a positive attitude. And I always try to look at life that I said, look, uh I get to do this one time, you know what I mean? It's not a dress rehearsal. I get to go through this one time and I hope that I can enjoy it while I'm here. And I try to keep positive and I always tell people that same energy that we have that makes us positive is also the same energy for me that can make you real negative.

You've spent three seasons doing Rock of Love. Yes. Being the love guru that you are. Thank you. Give me some love, romance, relationship advice. Give me What's the best piece of advice you can give?

First of all, on a date, guys, I'm just telling you, if you got a beautiful girl right here and you're going on a date, take the Harley. Even if she doesn't like you, she has to hold on to you. So right there you already got a connection going. It looks cool. All your friends see it. So even if it nothing happens, you can at least say, you know, hey, we had a great time together, right? Yes. But I think the bottom line, you're going to laugh is I think laughter, having fun, having a great time, don't try to be way too cool because it gets way too boring. I think if you go out and have a great time and and then next thing you know, it needs to great sex and and then you have a great relationship, communication and and great sex.
