Jelly Rollhas started to train for an upcoming 5K, saying “I’m in the woods walking every morning.”
The podcast’s host, Kyle Forgeard, “gassed me up,” Jelly Roll says, to join forces with comics Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura, who are recruiting participants for an upcoming 5K in May.
“That’s our New Year’s resolution,” Kreischer shared on his and Segura’s2 Bears 1 Cavepodcast. “Let’s get ready for it. Let’s train for it.”
They recruited fellow comics likeMichelle Wolf, who said “I could get my s— together for a 5K” and Stavros Halkias, who shared, “I want to get back in the zone. I’m gonna be healthy.”
They also secured a tentative — and apparently, disingenuous — yes fromLouis CK, who said “I’m going to tell you I’m gonna do it and then I’m definitely not gonna do it,” calling the 5K “this is Watch Bert Die.’”
“I believe him," Jelly added. “I believe in myself.”
Jelly also seemingly inspired fellow country starZach Bryanto join the 5K challenge.
“We’re all here with you brother! If I’m not playing I’ll be there!” Bryan commented on the post.
For the “Son of a Sinner” singer — real name Jason DeFord — the road to the limelightwas a circuitous journey, involving years of incarceration, drug addiction and alcohol abuse.
He also struggled, and continues to struggle, with his mental health — which he called “the biggest demon in my life” in his documentaryJelly Roll: Save Me. He has long been open with fans about how he’s turned around his life following past struggles.
Today, Jellytells PEOPLEthat his life isn’t one without daily struggle. His latest addiction is to the “pantry,” he says, but he can only handle quitting “one addiction at a time.”
“I’m a man that’s figuring it out," he says. “A man that comes from a place nobody figured it out.”
He continued, “As far as today goes, I don’t know about tomorrow, but I can tell you, today, right now, I’m happy.”
