Uncovering Rob Lowe’s Personal Life and Interests
Along with his family, the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast discusses Rob Lowe’s journey to sobriety and shared passion with the hosts for golf and luxury watches. An intriguing story from Rob Lowe’s biography comes to light where he became the subject of a risqué remark by Robert Wagner at a high-profile social gathering.
The story of Lowe’s son forms an interesting part of the discussion. Initially, his son chose to delve into science at Stanford University. However, he later transitioned into an acting career. Despite Lowe’s initial disappointment due to the significant tuition fees, the path seemed inevitable considering his son’s inherent acting talent.
Lowe’s Journey to Sobriety
The podcast sheds light on Lowe’s journey toward sobriety, illuminating how transcendental meditation and prayer have been instrumental tools. Despite taking him over three decades to incorporate meditation into his daily routine, he acknowledges its influence in maintaining his sobriety.
One of the fascinating outcomes of his meditation involves vivid dreams that act as a creative catalyst for Lowe. An idea from a dream even led him to conceive and sell a game show concept to Fox.
Lowe’s Passion for Golf and Luxury Watches
Lowe and the hosts’ shared passion for golf is heavily featured in their conversation on the podcast. Bert Kreischer shared a specific anecdote about his decision to use a 9-iron over a 7-iron, achieving an impressive shot over the green. Rob Lowe, however, had an even more unique story from a pro-am event in Iowa, where he accidentally killed the state bird, a goldfinch, with his shot—an incident with minuscule odds of happening.
Moreover, Kreischer’s favorite golfing experiences are related to his anxiety due to external pressures. Lowe also got to play on the noteworthy Pebble Beach golf course alongside George Roberts, a well-known investment personality.
In addition to the golf talks, the podcast also reveals the shared fascination of the hosts with luxury watches. Kreischer initially had reservations about investing in watches, but a nudge from Tom Segura led him to purchase a Rolex, which subsequently fueled Segura’s decision to acquire one as well. The duo even made a visit to a dealer named Christine in Las Vegas to add new pieces to their collection.
In a spin on the discussion, Lowe shares his admiration for Rolex watches, largely influenced by James Cameron’s endorsement. He shares an instance where Cameron tossed his Rolex across a room to establish its robustness.
The discussion on watch models was broad, with Kreischer mentioning a moon phase watch admired for its long-lasting accuracy and Lowe introducing his Breitling Emergency, a watch equipped with an emergency beacon.
