My name's Marnie Winfield. Welcome to the two seventeen Recovery Podcast. 9 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.719 It's Marnie's birthday. It's my birthday again. Yeah, I was from 10 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.320 twenty twenty that drop. We were holds up in a hotel fighting COVID. 11 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.920 It's a cute. It's a cute intro. I wish you could use it 12 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.280 all the time. Yeah, Well, we didn't have COVID, so we 13 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.759 weren't really fighting COVID. But not then we did it. We were trying 14 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.319 not to get it. And again even in that podcast, well because I 15 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.280 made that open last year and we used that and then I talked about how 16 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.319 I still didn't believe in COVID. Well, I believed in COVID last year 17 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:21.000 because I got it twice from Marnie whatever getting her job. Things I do 18 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.840 for you, my love, But I hope you had a great birthday. 19 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.280 I didn't do anything for you. I could. Well, I made you 20 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.799 breakfast that sucked, but you had bacon too, so I don't know. 21 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.120 I have to die. It was, it was wonderful. It was great. 22 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.879 We had a great dinner last night. We went out to one of 23 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:45.519 our favorite restaurants here in Traverse City, and then this morning was pancakes and 24 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.840 bacon, And I mean, who doesn't love pancakes and bacon, right? 25 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.920 I mean the pancakes for me, which I did post the recipe, and 26 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.560 there's something about cutting in half that just doesn't work out so well. But 27 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.239 it's on our Facebook page. If you want the recipe. Watch this guy. 28 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.319 He makes pancakes in the video, but he gives the recipe on there. 29 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.879 And I made it just like he said the first time it was good, 30 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.280 and then I halfed it and it wasn't so good, and then I 31 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.039 halfed it this morning it wasn't so good. But this is something that I'm 32 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.400 learning in recovery too. It's you got to do the things that sometimes you 33 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.199 don't want to do. But of course I wanted to make you breakfast until 34 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.639 I look over and it's seven oh three and I have my alarm set for 35 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.919 seven oh five, and I was so tired, and I was like, 36 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.840 oh, I just want to pretend it's not happening. And I was like, 37 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.360 no, I really don't want her waking up to my alarm on her 38 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.280 birthday, so let me turn that off real quick, in which I did, 39 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.840 so you didn't have to wake up with that. And then I got 40 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.280 up and I made you some breakfast. But that's the stuff that you do 41 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.400 for people you love. You know, you would do that for me in 42 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.800 a heartbeat. You'd get up at two am, you know, and if 43 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.639 you'd want to eat breakfast at two am, but you would do it. 44 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.639 I would do it. You would do that for me. So that's that's 45 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.879 something that you just have to kind of realize, you know, in early 46 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.919 recovery, like that's the things that you're trying to change, you know, 47 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.120 those are the things that you're trying to change because the old new I would 48 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.560 ever, I got an excuse for you. I overslipped. I didn't see 49 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.680 my law. I mean, list goes on, you know, excuses. 50 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.879 We become really good at making them. So yeah, yeah, I had 51 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.560 to get my ass up and I had to do the damn thing, which 52 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.319 I'm glad I did. And you know, I tried to buy you some 53 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.560 smell good yesterday, but you didn't think they smelled good. It's just okay. 54 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.000 Well, two things. Two is a two part thing I want to 55 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.400 share about Okay. One is that I think why you felt so obligated about 56 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.319 the pancake breakfast is because you asked me, like beginning of last week, 57 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.280 what do you want for your birthday? And I just said breakfast. Yeah, 58 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.080 So I mean that kind of set the stage for you to feel like 59 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.840 you had to do that, I think, even though we had other stuff 60 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.840 that was obligations for later in that later morning. Yeah, which normally which 61 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.159 you do make new breakfast when it's not my birthday, it doesn't happen. 62 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.680 You don't have to get up at seven, it's just you make it whenever. 63 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.560 Yeah, you get up. It just happened to be today that you 64 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.439 had other obligations. Yeah. Yeah, Normally I'd get up eight nine whatever 65 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.919 wanted major breakfast. Now I was like, I'm want breakfast at eight, 66 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.599 right, Yeah, it's not like that. Yeah, you're right, because 67 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:17.240 we had to go to the office because I was chairing the Recovery Dad's meeting, 68 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:25.160 which I think, I don't know, I don't know, I don't 69 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.199 know. Well, I think we'll hopefully, you know, we'll figure that 70 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.439 out. But if we move it, I want to do the Recovery Dad's 71 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.439 podcast, you know, which is going to be way different than this podcast, 72 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.879 and we'll see. Still working out the details on that. I'm going 73 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.319 to do a podcast tomorrow with this guy. His name is Patrick Jones, 74 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.959 Padrick Jones, and I talked to him last week. Cool dude. He 75 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.360 has this whole program set up because you know how recovery is all about changing 76 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.399 your life. I mean it is right, you know, and people don't 77 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.560 understand that, or maybe people do and they don't want to idea. But 78 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.600 you have to change the way you live, right, that's fact. Some 79 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.000 people don't want it. Well, I still want to hang out with Gerald 80 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.759 and neilm Well. Gerald nilms still get high, gerald in them still drink. 81 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.879 You know, that's probably not the people you want to hang out with. 82 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.720 Yeah, but they're my ferings. In case, don't call them for 83 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.319 a week and save many times they call you. Well, And that's real 84 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.560 quick. That's exactly what I say all the time. Is living in recovery 85 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.800 is exactly that. It's living in It's not about not drinking or drugging. 86 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.920 It's about living in your sobriety or your you know, the state of without 87 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.360 any mood or min alitoring substance and just being able to be you and living 88 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:43.040 in an environment and circumstances that you are in control of that create that safe 89 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.720 place where you can have fun and you know, be productive and still live 90 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.839 life on life's terms, but not engage in stuff that's sketchy and leading you 91 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.279 in the wrong direction. But gerald neime, I have phone hanging out with 92 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.560 them and we do march Madness, we do a bracket together. How can 93 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.360 I do that without? I could do without drink. And I'll just go 94 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.519 over there and just hang out a little bit. Again, call gerald in 95 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.759 them or don't call jerial in them for a week and see if they call 96 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.959 you. There's gonna be like, hey man, you got anything. That's 97 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.000 the only thing they'll ask you. They're not gonna be like, hey man, 98 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.759 what's up. How's the kids? Oh? Yeah, you don't have 99 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.839 them? Yeah, Like, are they gonna make you? Are they gonna 100 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.439 fit into your plan of changing your life? If your answer is no, 101 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.079 then move on. And it's not because Gerald nem or bad people. It's 102 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.560 just Gerald them aren't on the same page as you. Right, you have 103 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.560 to cut ties with all those people, right, And that's what Patrick was 104 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:48.199 saying. And he's got this whole program, and hopefully my my want is 105 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.920 to get me, Mitch and Justin on his plan because I mean, it's 106 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.800 it's the way you eat, it's the way you exercise, it's the way 107 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.319 you live. Because I got a little sun coming in May. I want 108 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.040 to be around for his tenth birthday. But the things I'm doing now, 109 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.720 like, I mean, some things are good, but my stress level is 110 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.959 through the roof. My eating hammits are horrible. I'll do good for like 111 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.800 half a day and I'll come home and be like and it was all or 112 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.120 not. And I was explained to him when I used to drive people to 113 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.639 treatment all the time. How I would do good for like a week or 114 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.759 so, and then I think I came home one time and I was like, 115 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.680 honey, I relapsed. You're like what I was like, I have 116 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.519 big kink size KitKat, king size Milky Way, king size Snickers and some 117 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.240 chips. Remember that it was like eighteen in the TwixT too. It's kin 118 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.680 size because I want ape shit. And it was that reminded me so much 119 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.439 of when I would go back and drink. It would be binge, you 120 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.279 know, it wouldn't be just be like, oh, admit, that's why 121 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.160 we can't just drink a beer, you know. And when I would cut 122 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.959 sugar out, I would just cut sugar out and just like, okay, 123 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.399 I'm not drinking, Okay, I'm not eating sugar. Okay, Well what 124 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.639 are you doing? You know? Are you do you have a healthy plan? 125 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.120 Do you have something in place? Nope, I'm just not going to 126 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.000 eat it. And then when the temptation shows up and I'm like, hey, 127 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.639 that would make me feel better, it tastes good, I'll just get 128 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.399 this, And then next thing I know, I'm walking out of the gas 129 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.240 station and they're like you want to sack for that, and I'm like, 130 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.040 of course I do. I can't carry all these candy bars, you know, 131 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.319 Like, but that's that's what it does, and that's what it is. 132 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.079 And he was kind of talking about that and he said, yeah, 133 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.680 He's like, all you need is that one percent. I was like, 134 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.279 well, I have one percent. He' say no, no, no, 135 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.319 the extra one percent. He was like, so if you say you want 136 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.240 to do something, you must at least be fifty percent. Like, hey, 137 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.000 I want to change my life and I want to be there for my 138 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.799 son when he gets older, because I want to change the way I'm eating 139 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.080 in the way I'm living, and not being healthy is probably not a good 140 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.559 idea. You know, that's not how that's not what's going to get me 141 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.559 to ninety years old. So if I can just go that one percent more 142 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.639 so, if I can flip it to fifty one forty nine, He's like, 143 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.720 that's all you need to do. And then once you get to that 144 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.440 fifty one percent, he said, then you add the two fifty three, 145 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.120 fifty four, fifty five c And he says, before you know it, 146 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.320 you're changing the things you do in life and not just talking about it, 147 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.559 because when you talk about it, Okay, clearly you want to do it, 148 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.879 but then you don't. And I was talking to him about something else, 149 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.679 and I was saying, you know, you're never going to be I 150 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.440 think I said, governor of Michigan. I was like, if you have 151 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.519 a plan to be governor of Michigan. Cool, Well I like to hear 152 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.000 it. But like for myself, I'm like, I'll be governor. I'm 153 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.360 just joking sort of. But if I really wanted to be governor, well 154 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.200 damn it, I need a plan, right. I can't just like I 155 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.679 want to be governor of Michigan this sit around the couch, because guess what, 156 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.759 I'm never going to be governor of Michigan if I just sit on the 157 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.279 couch. But if that's something I really wanted to do, I would have 158 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.559 to start looking into Okay, well what I need to do? I need 159 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.840 to Should I start out trying to win a mayor seat or do I do 160 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.240 that? I mean, there's things that you can do that will get you 161 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.639 to that level of being governor of Michigan if you really wanted to be So 162 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.080 with me wanting to eat healthy, well what am I doing sitting on the 163 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:03.279 couch literally? And what things do I need to change? So hopefully back 164 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.480 to my point here with Patrick Jones is I'm talking to him tomorrow and I 165 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.679 want to mention Justin to sit In too, and he wanted to record it. 166 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.519 I told him, I was like, we'll this do straight podcasts, 167 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.759 but he wants to film it or record it on his end. So I'm 168 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.200 like, all right, cool, but I think it would be cool and 169 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.799 I think it would be almost like a fringe benefit, you know. Or 170 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.639 I was like, man, maybe we can be the sponsor to Recovery Dad's 171 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.039 podcast. You know, like he wants to help men change their lives and 172 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.480 you know, he'll hit on his website. He's got like pictures and stuff 173 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.039 and we'll get more into that when we talk to him. But how'd you 174 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.840 find him? Uh? He reached out to me. Oh nice. It 175 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.320 was like, hey, I really love what you and Marnie are doing blah 176 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.679 blah blah. And I'm like, okay, whatever, man, because it's 177 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.480 like Marnie hasn't been on a podcast like eighteen months, you know, it 178 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.679 was like probably two or three weeks. But yeah, yeah, so I'm 179 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.519 just like, eh, you know, but it's cool that you know, 180 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.120 he did check us out and did reach out, and you know, there's 181 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:09.039 so many different pathways to recovery, and he's in recovery. He was like 182 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.320 talking about when he got divorced. He said it was hard, but I 183 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.039 think he's remarried now. But just the stuff that he's been through in his 184 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:22.639 life, you know, and just from addiction to alcohol to his addiction to 185 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.919 food. You know, this is one thing he found. He's like, 186 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.000 I just replaced one for the other and just having that mindset of taking it 187 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.600 to that extra one percent. You know, I have a treadmill sitting here, 188 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.440 you know, like I'm not using it, but it's hard for me 189 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.720 sometimes to see the end goal. And it's just like for people in early 190 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.440 recovery, like, how can I have ten years tomorrow? You're not. 191 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.519 You're not. It's impossible. If you're in early recovery, you can't have 192 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.039 ten years tomorrow. And I'm not going to be one hundred and eighty five 193 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.879 pounds or two hundred pounds or whatever I want to be. I'm not going 194 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.440 to be that tomorrow. And so there it's hard for me to see it 195 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.879 and it's going to take work, and it's so hard to get going sometimes 196 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.159 you know, like, oh, I got a new routine. But I 197 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.840 think the main thing I need to really start working on though, is the 198 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.639 stress. Yeah, and they say exercise does help that, so maybe there's 199 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.679 something in there. But yeah, it's like a little club. I guess 200 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.840 maybe it's not like a little club. I have no idea because I don't 201 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.080 really talk to him about the program thing that he's got going on. But 202 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.440 I think from what he was saying, it's almost like a a I don't 203 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.000 want to say, a meeting, but I think it's something that we'd all 204 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:39.639 check in and every week and it's like a support system for whatever his what 205 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.080 would you call it, it's a game for it? Actually, yeah, 206 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.679 ever check in with his program. I don't know. Anyway, there's more 207 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.720 that's exciting. I didn't know much about it. You mentioned it, like 208 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.600 the little tiniest little bit about it, but I didn't. This is what 209 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.840 I've most I've heard, So I think that's great. Yeah, because especially 210 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.159 if the guys at work, you know, it's like none of us and 211 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:05.919 I'm not going to speak for them, but I am none of us really 212 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.039 live in the healthiest lifestyle. Can I like have a side note and just 213 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.639 like, somehow get him a message, a message to this man, say 214 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.919 please don't cut sugar entirely out of my husband's diet because he becomes the crankiest 215 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.240 man alive. Well, the withdrawal, and he asked me about that when 216 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.759 I told him that I was I cut sugared. At one point, he's 217 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.399 like, how are the withdrawals on that. I was like, I was 218 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.559 horrible. Yeah, yeah, he's like, people don't think that. I'm 219 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.879 like, I know, you're not crabby, and like, yeah, they 220 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.639 say it's worse than crack. I heard somewhere. They said it somewhere and 221 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.240 put it on. But that's what they say, that the sugar addictions is 222 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:48.919 worse and people laugh at you whatever. Due, No, it's real. 223 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.840 It is real, and people who've ever gone through that will tell you it 224 00:13:52.879 --> 00:14:01.720 is real. But we'll see what happens on. Yeah, there's lots of 225 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.720 opportunities with that, and I think it'll be fun. But just like everything 226 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.360 in recovery, it's about change. You gotta change your life, change what 227 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.320 you're doing. It's about living in the solution. Yeah, I'm a dry 228 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.679 path that dairy queen. Every day when I come home from work, it's 229 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.039 not moving, you know, so I don't really stop dairy queen, but 230 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.799 I get home and it's just sometimes there's muffins waiting for me, cupcakes and 231 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.720 not really cupcakes but pies. It doesn't make it a little bit difficult because 232 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.399 like I am in this, I'm in the like no diet anything right now, 233 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.200 because I mean I'm not even drinking diet like soda really as much. 234 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:50.120 And so I'm like whole everything, no low fat anything, because it's supposed 235 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.600 to be wholesome and because that's what the baby needs. I'm gonna come home. 236 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.399 That's a center refrigerator. We'll come home tomorrow evening. I'm gonna be 237 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:07.200 like, honey, I talked to Patrick's day. Guess what he told me 238 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:13.919 is, uh, I got to cut out all the sugar. We're gonna 239 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:20.039 be okay, though, right if I get a little grumpies, Is you 240 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.240 gonna be okay with me? Oh honey, No, Patrick said, though 241 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.399 he said all the men at work needs to cut out the sugar. All 242 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:35.840 that stuff in the breakroom gots to throw out. Stuff in the breakroom is 243 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.799 good now, it's decent. Okay, give me five of them. Then 244 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.720 I need something. I have rice cakes in the break breakroom and trail mix 245 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:52.039 in the breakroom and neutral green bars protein bars. Yeah, Jess. The 246 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.759 song end ever, apparently not apparently not just hit the button making end thanks 247 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:07.200 but no thanks catch That's what I was saying. The song ended cool. 248 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.120 Yeah, I don't know, we'll see. But that's the beauty of it, 249 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.279 man, is I get a choice to it? You know, because 250 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.200 seriously, like if I don't know, and part of me remember when you 251 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.519 used to smoke, and people like, yeah, I know a guy who's 252 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.960 seventy six still smokes, everything's still fine, and you look at I'm like 253 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:33.080 mmmm, And I hear about the guy and that like it's perfectly fit and 254 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.720 he was forty two and was out jogging I had a heart attack and I 255 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:41.200 go mm hmm, y' mm hmm. I mean I hear a lot about 256 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.559 more about like the fat people dying a lot quicker. But like I mean 257 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.159 that there'll be that one case what we'll see does why don't work out? 258 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.519 Not really worth it? And that has nothing to do with it, you 259 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.519 know a lot of genetics and stuff. But I know, just to feel 260 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.159 better about myself, I think that would that would be great. And yeah, 261 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:00.240 I got a little baby on, you know, like I have to 262 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:07.000 think about that. And I'm a pretty cool guy, and I don't think 263 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:15.279 leaving early because I shouldn't want to change my eating habits or exercising habits. 264 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:22.039 I think that's I think that's pretty selfish. So I support you. Thanks, 265 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:29.599 honey. I appreciate that we can have the bank coming up on a 266 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:34.240 twenty ninth sort of. And I was talking with Matt about it. Matt 267 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.559 does the Recovery Dharma meeting, which we got to figure out that zoom thing. 268 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.480 We got to figure that out. That's a whole other topic. But 269 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.039 Matt was saying that his boss wants to go too, and I was like, 270 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.000 cool, she's in recovery, Like, all right, come on, 271 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.240 And he said that they went on it before something. They said it was 272 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.200 very cool. Everybody I've talked to you said the tour is super awesome. 273 00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.559 Yeah, it's the Asylum Twilight Tour. I don't think they call it that. 274 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.400 I think is it on the website web site like yeah, are you 275 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:11.200 sure? But yeah, it doesn't say historical tour of State Hospital. I 276 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:17.000 think it just says historical tour the State Hospital. Now it says Asylum Twilight 277 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:22.200 Tour. Okay, I have not seen it, so I okay, I 278 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.000 believe you. Oh no, we're looking it up now. Jeez. Anyway, 279 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.680 but anybody who I've shared about, I won't go to website. But 280 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.359 I talked about him for like twenty minutes. I won't look at his website 281 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.599 about to look up the Asylum Twilight Tour. Okay. Anybody who I've shared 282 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:44.279 about that outing is super excited as well, So I hope that we I 283 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:49.599 think we're gonna have a good turn out for sure. It is the Village 284 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.839 TC dot com slash tour. Okay, it's your website and if you go, 285 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:59.240 it says take a tour and scroll down and it says guided historic walking 286 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:04.559 tour, which is not the one we're doing. That's two hour tour of 287 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:11.680 the Village campus, thirty bones a person twelve and under. The Asylum Asylum 288 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.519 Twilight Tour when we're on is a ninety minute tour thirty five bucks. A 289 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:21.200 person got to be sixteen or older. Anyone under eighteen gotta have apparent legal 290 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:27.400 guardian because it could get hairy. Yeah, okay, it's an excursion into 291 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.640 the basement of a former men's Ward Cottage nice as well as the underground steam 292 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:40.599 tunnels. Yeah, just give me pulse it. So it's gonna be good, 293 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:42.559 gotta be fun. Yep, it will be in the twenty ninth of 294 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.440 Marchism. We're doing it, and we're gonna do like a contest online. 295 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.640 But I don't know how that's gonna work because they're like, don't be putting 296 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.519 our pictures online. Yeah. I think we'll just see who's all interested, 297 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.519 and then when the spots fill up, the spots fill up, the people 298 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.480 be knowing about it. Yeah already, So I will let you know. 299 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.240 We're gonna post pictures. We can't take video though. We cannot take video, 300 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.240 so there's so many ghosts there they someone will go ahead and catch one 301 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.759 on the camera, and then I want that. Still waiting for the first 302 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:41.960 ghost on camera, I can't. Yeah, that's my favorite Ghost Adventures clip. 303 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.599 Yeah, I know he got scarred. And I was talking to somebody 304 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.559 about that the other day and I was like, man, I might have 305 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.799 been Kim. I was like the Ghost Centers. If I was a fisherman 306 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.599 and I caught a fish, I wouldn't be like I probably wouldn't be something 307 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.200 like fish. Well, they're also TV people, so they want to be 308 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.920 dramatic. But he ran into the wall. That's how dramatic he was being. 309 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.880 I think they wrote that out in the script. Do you think they 310 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.960 script that? But they just I mean, you're a noise and I'm gonna 311 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.279 take off running right into that door. No, he couldn't plan that. 312 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.759 He he was just like just beat Oh my god. Yeah, who knows. 313 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:23.119 He went to the school in Michigan. He went to a school in 314 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:30.160 Michigan. Really, yeah, film school, our finest, our state's find. 315 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:32.519 I guess it was a maybe Holt or I don't know. I think 316 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.680 it started with the h but I don't think it was Hope. Anyway, 317 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:41.279 it was somewhere there beside southeast side of the state. Zach Beggins. I 318 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.279 don't know them. Yeah, I'm just saying that's where he went. So 319 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:52.720 that'll be fun though, and hopefully next month. I'm waiting on the Detroit 320 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:59.839 Tigers howl the back at me because they were like, hey, here's some 321 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.799 tickets. Maybe I mean email didn't really say that, but also what you're 322 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.680 shooting for for April? Yeah, I think it was the eighteenth. If 323 00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:12.720 my mind's what'd you looking like that. What do is something else going on 324 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:17.240 the eighteenth? Yeah, okay, I don't think so. Well, they're 325 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.440 playing the Texas Rangers, who are the World Series champions from last year, 326 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.359 so it doesn't really mean much this year. They should play the World Series 327 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.079 at the beginning of the year. Well, everybody's healthy, get it out 328 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.480 of the way, and then like you could watch your team play the rest 329 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.960 of the year and you're like, we're the champs this year, so like, 330 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.200 oh, the champs are coming to town. Instead they make you play 331 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.680 through the whole season. Fingers cross on that one. Then yeah, yeah, 332 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.559 no, no, for sure. Don't get people excited about something that 333 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.000 might not happen. But I don't see why I won it. I'm just 334 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.440 you know what I'm saying, How long are games again? Two and a 335 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.200 half hours now? Because they have stop watches or something. I haven't been 336 00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.279 to a game. Well, we went to the game the Pitt Spitters thing. 337 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.759 Yeah, but that was even I mean that was like college kids stuff. 338 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.759 But yeah, I haven't been to a real game and I don't know, 339 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.000 it's been a minute. Maybe Texas. I think Texas Rangers. Yeah, 340 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.279 so fitting I would want to go see the Texas Rangers getting all the 341 00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:22.240 Cubs were Yeah, and Sammy Sosa was about to hit his like whatever home 342 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.599 run, but he wasn't doing Samoyds no more so it was hard for him 343 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:32.319 to home runs, so he didn't hit one that day. Yeah, but 344 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.440 the Tigers, it would be interesting. I guess it'd be fun to get 345 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.079 a bunch of sober people and would have to get like a bus. I 346 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.000 think because last time and this time we would still, you know, want 347 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:47.200 to include diction treatment services here in Traverse City, but like last time, 348 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.599 we had them drive the buses or something. They're little vans. Yeah, 349 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.839 not little vans. I'm not trying to say like they have little vans. 350 00:23:52.839 --> 00:24:00.440 But it'd be cool to get like somebody else to drive us, like yeah, 351 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:06.759 but not a greathound but something similar. I don't know. So I 352 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:12.799 could sleep, not to drive like you would sleep. Maybe wouldn't Maybe you 353 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:17.680 wouldn't quiet down back there. I'm trying to go to sleep up here is 354 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.160 right into the game. Wouldn't happen? M h. It's cute though, 355 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.480 how much that would cost? Like fifty bucks? How much would cost ust 356 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:32.160 to pay some money to drive a bus there with us? A lot a 357 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.640 couple hundred, oh little thousand, probably under that one hundred thousand, two 358 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:45.880 hundred and fifty dollars five hundred maybe, oh maybe take back Top Cans should 359 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.559 do a POPCN drive. It's a lot of cans. It is a lot 360 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.480 of coons, and we have to pay some money to crush them all. 361 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.880 Get our money because that's a you know how long you'd have to well, 362 00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.720 that would take forever. The guy behind you be so pissed off. You'd 363 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.640 have to break it up. I think they would like stop putting cans in 364 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.119 there. Man, we had to change it out five times. Just roll 365 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.359 up. All the other machines are broken. Don't you hate that when you 366 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.799 go there and you got some cans, you got like maybe one bag and 367 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.960 there's some guy like twenty yeah or thirty like beer. That's happened to me 368 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.960 like a couple of times at Costco because they only have one, yeah, 369 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.319 ternal one. I'm like, you're literally can't you just punch out? Let 370 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.079 me do this and then like start another Like that's what I would do if 371 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.440 I like, you're really gonna make me wait and then I just you know, 372 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.240 but then it's just like you know what I'm what other people do. 373 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.480 I'm not. I'm not in control of their mindfulness. You know, if 374 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:48.440 they want to just be in the zone, whatever, but let him in 375 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:55.960 the zone.
