Marny Winfield. Recovery Podcast. Spend
a miss done one. Your last podcast

6
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.520
was on Monday and it was from
the Day of Education. It's done by

7
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:44.119
n MRI in Gaylord, Michigan.
So spent a minute. But I've been

8
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.039
super busy, Marnie. Let's talk
about your past week and a half or

9
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.560
two weeks. I can't remember the
last podcast you did. Yeah, spent

10
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.200
a minute. Um so yeah.
I got to walk across the stage for

11
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.159
my graduation, which was awesome.
Um. You know, I kind of

12
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.200
had debated doing it, I guess
because I'm like, I know I did

13
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.480
it. I know I accomplished it. I don't need to, I don't

14
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.000
need to, you know, walk
across the stage. But it was really

15
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.519
meaningful. And um, my family
came, and you know, my mother

16
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.959
in law came, all my well, all my in law's game parents,

17
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.599
and then my parents came and their
significance, so it was really it was

18
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.680
an awesome It was an awesome day
to celebrate me and my accomplishment. So

19
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:38.120
if I really good, mh,
I bet, And I mean I was

20
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.040
just I just walked to high school. You know, that was pretty cool.

21
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.799
So I can only imagine how that
felt getting your masters, and I

22
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.200
know the hard work that you put
in and to see you come from well,

23
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.879
I met you in treatment. Yeah, so when you were in treatment

24
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.280
and to see you come from there
to there, you know, I knew

25
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.799
that it was definitely impossible with you
and I get to see you were determined

26
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.719
to like make this time different,
and that was the same attitude the feelings

27
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.360
that I share. So I think
maybe that kind of drew me to you

28
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.240
as well. When I met you
in treatment. A lot of people know

29
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.360
our story already, but I was
the guy that was getting peanut butter for

30
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.840
people. I wasn't your therapist or
anything like. I wasn't trying to play

31
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.240
them mack down on you, nothing
like that. But people would, you

32
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.120
know, reference you wire talking about
you as oh no, she's serious,

33
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.560
she's not playing around, And it
really showed and you know, to pull

34
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:40.039
yourself up and get back on track. It takes a lot for someone who's

35
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.680
had so many heartbreaks and just bad
goes at it, you know, to

36
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.520
just dust yourself off and get back
up. You know, I'm really super

37
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.439
proud of you, and of course
I love you a lot tons So to

38
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.560
see that, you know, I
was like, that's my wife up there.

39
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.759
You know, it was very cool
and very special, you know,

40
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.879
to see you do that, and
I'm sure just feels great. And some

41
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.560
people and maybe you could understand what
I say when I'm like, Yeph,

42
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.280
that's cool. Let's move on to
the next. You know, people can

43
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.360
sit here and go Marty, that's
great you did that, but in your

44
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.800
mind you already have other things planned. Yeah. I mean it's like Moore

45
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.360
is going to be, you know, like unveiled for me. It feels

46
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.280
like and I am you know,
I didn't think it was going to be

47
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:34.719
emotional, but like sitting there and
then you know, they played the song,

48
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.560
the graduation song, and I was
like, I'm like, wow,

49
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.039
this, I'm glad I came and
I did earn this because that's what it

50
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.360
is. I mean, I put
a lot of work into it. It

51
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.840
was a goal that I had.
I knew it was going to be a

52
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.479
lot of work when I signed up
for it, but I knew I had

53
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.199
I was capable of it, and
I just needed to remind myself every day

54
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.680
that, you know, it was
something that I had the potential to do

55
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:10.199
and I had committed to it.
So just keep tripping away, you know,

56
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.759
one assignment at a time, one
day at a time. And that's

57
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.000
that's kind of the approach that you
know I took taken with my recovery too,

58
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.399
is you know, it's it's something
that I know that I need and

59
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.560
that I want, and um,
I know there's it's a little different because

60
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.920
there's a survival factor there. Um, you know, I would have still

61
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.000
lived another day if I wouldn't have
out in my master's degree. But um,

62
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.639
it's the same kind of thing that
I knew I had it in me.

63
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:43.120
I just needed it to remind myself
that I needed to put the work

64
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.079
in, you know, And that's
what I That's what I've been doing with

65
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.040
my recovery and will continue to do
with the rest of my life. But

66
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:56.839
um, all these different avenues are
just keep like showing up for me and

67
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.160
opportunities, and it's all because I'm
and doing the work for it, and

68
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.759
so it's it's truly amazing. It
doesn't happen overnight, obviously, and that'll

69
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.560
show a lot of people up at
first and early recovery. It's it feels

70
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.160
like it's gonna take forever. And
I'm sure it felt like when you went

71
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.040
back to school again to get your
masters. I'm sure it felt like,

72
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.040
oh, it's gonna take so long. And it did. You know,

73
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.120
it took a bunch of nights in
a row, not just one overnight.

74
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.720
It didn't just boom happen. But
you put those together, and just like

75
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.720
your recovery, you know, you
keep working at it and you keep moving

76
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.480
forward, great things are going to
happen. I'm gonna put yourself in situation.

77
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.839
It's gonna open more doors, and
pretty soon before you know it,

78
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.079
everybody's looking at you like, wow, that's great. You did great stuff.

79
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.759
And you're the one saying, hey, yep, that is cool.

80
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.879
But watch me feel them still going
yeah. And there were days, I

81
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.439
mean, honestly, there were days
where I'm like I'm in way over my

82
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:56.160
head, like what did I sign
myself up for? You know? And

83
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.279
even days that I was just like
I can't do this, like it's too

84
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:04.759
much. But that negative thinking doesn't
get me anywhere. And those are just

85
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:10.920
intrusive thoughts that aren't not true,
and I just needed to like shovel those

86
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.160
away and just be like, nope, you know I can and I am,

87
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.240
and so let's just keep going.
That's great, you know. And

88
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.360
just if you know someone's struggling or
you know, going through it, just

89
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.199
tell them, look, it's it's
day at of time. And that's why

90
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.720
they say that a lot, you
know, on recovery, it's it is

91
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.720
it's day at of time, and
you look at the big picture of it.

92
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.399
On some people will try to get
cute and like, yeah, but

93
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.920
they told me not to think of
the future. You know, don't think

94
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.079
of the future, man, It
builds anxiety. It's no, that's not

95
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.680
what they mean. You know,
when you're thinking about things that haven't happened

96
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.959
yet, that's what can trip you
up a little bit. And of course

97
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.600
the future hasn't happened yet. But
I'm talking about like, yeah, but

98
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.600
if I do this, then I'm
gonna go there and then everybody's gonna be

99
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.000
there, so I might as well, just drink now, or if I

100
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.680
go there it's gonna be bad.
Or if I call the electric company,

101
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.480
they're not going to work with me, So why I can call them?

102
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.000
You know, like that kind of
future planning is not going to work.

103
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.560
But you can say, look,
here are some goals, and here's what

104
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.879
I want to achieve, and you
know, if you don't achieve them right

105
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.920
now, why why you didn't?
You know, what didn't work? And

106
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.199
how can you go out of a
different way where you can't achieve that goal

107
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.079
exactly? It's frustrating and I'm like, I'm like, like with through seventeen

108
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.040
recovery like things, and again,
things didn't just happen overnight. You know.

109
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.560
There's a lot of work, a
lot of volunteer hours, you know,

110
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.959
just a lot of things went into
this to make it, you know,

111
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.399
kind of get off the ground and
look for the things that are happening

112
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.360
for us now. And it's great, you know, but there's a lot

113
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.439
of more things I want to do
too, and I don't know, it's

114
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.680
just great to know that, you
know, on like on yesterday, we

115
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.839
had to leave the office and I
wasn't in the office for I don't know

116
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.120
more than a half hour, maybe
hour, but I was out doing things

117
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.000
and it was nice to know that
the guys that are there, Adam justin

118
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.199
Mitchell like they can do their job. You know. I didn't have to

119
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.079
worry about anything like that. So
that was that was very nice to kind

120
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.879
of for someone who doesn't trust people, you know, for trust issues.

121
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.920
I felt really good. And I
told you about that the other day or

122
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.519
maybe it was today. I was
like, you know what, it felt

123
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:28.920
good that I didn't really have to
worry about that. I wasn't worrying,

124
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.960
even though I did a little but
not as bad, you know. And

125
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.480
it's it's baby stepping, and you
know, we're always trying to work on

126
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:43.840
ourselves. At least I am,
you know, to make myself more aware

127
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.720
of where I'm at in life and
where I want to be and again how

128
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.679
I how I need to set goals
to get myself there, and you know,

129
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.799
becoming a better leader is something that's
definitely on my list. And slowly,

130
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.440
but surely again doesn't happen overnight.
In case you're wondering, I'm not

131
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.200
sure. If you hear this fan
that does not shut off, we are

132
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:13.200
not in a ritz Carlton no,
no, we are not. We are.

133
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.039
We are on the road, of
course to Mother's Day. Tomorrow is

134
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.919
Mother's Day and it was a birthday
party and a niece that I haven't met

135
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.120
yet, so we did a little
road tripping. And yeah, we're saying

136
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.480
this room smell, it's kind of
funny. And this fan does not I

137
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.200
have not ever been in a room
where the fan does not shut off.

138
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.440
I'm talking about like the fan against
the wall that blows out heat and cool

139
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.360
air. You know I'm talking about. You've been in a hotel like sometimes

140
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.639
they have knobs, they used to
anyway, now they have like a little

141
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.120
push buttons. But this thing does
not shut off. I've never seen that.

142
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.000
You have options to adjust it,
but you cannot turn it off.

143
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.919
No, even we get right now
it's off, but it's not off.

144
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.279
And I don't know if I don't
think these mics are picking it up.

145
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.679
We're not using obviously our studio mics. And what I'm using now is it's

146
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.159
very convenient, actually, and let
me see if it has a brand name

147
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.320
to it. I got them off
Amazon, and a lot of people will

148
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.399
use these four in which we use
them for your sister's wedding, yeah,

149
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.799
like afterward getting people's shots, not
shots, but getting their videos to the

150
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.000
bride and stuff like that. But
it's a wireless microphone, and a lot

151
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.039
of people use them in cameras,
but this one actually has an adapter you

152
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.080
can hook right up to your iPhone
and we use Sprieker to do our podcast

153
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.720
from and it has like a little
studio app. So we just hit record

154
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.600
on that and it just kind of
rolls with it. And I don't know

155
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.519
the name of it doesn't have a
brand name, just as wireless microphone,

156
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.759
so I would plug them. But
I mean it's not the best microphone in

157
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.159
the world now, but I mean
it sounds all right for what I're doing

158
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.080
right now. For it to be
like the size of I don't even know,

159
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.720
what would you say, real grape
and the grape green bean, but

160
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.240
no, like if you're a grape
tomato, a large grape tomato, but

161
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:20.799
it's not that wide. It's almost
like, I don't even know, Um,

162
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.360
if you took like a regular piece
piece of like twizzlers, all right,

163
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.120
a regular twizzler, which is like
eighty five carbs. Really are you

164
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:33.919
really playing this game? But nobody
is. Carbs are a lot. No.

165
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.159
I was talking about trying to figure
out comparing Yah. Yeah, you

166
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.559
take a regular like Okay, there's
a Twizzler and you take a third of

167
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:46.120
it. That's about the size of
the microphone. So I'm what I'm saying,

168
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.399
I'm just trying to give people what
they want. They want some theater

169
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:54.679
of the mine. So the third
of a Twizzler. That's about how how

170
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.960
bab these microphones are. And they
just clip running your shirts though, it's

171
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.759
pretty sweet, and these are what
we're using. The other day at the

172
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.559
day of Recovery with Na Marie and
Tyrone was like across did you hear that?

173
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.840
I don't think, well, you
were talking. I think yeah.

174
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.080
I was with people and I was
just I was not working like littlely there

175
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.960
went there for awful little bit no
Tyrone. It was kind of comical a

176
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.639
little bit because Tyrone was like across
the hall and I was ay man,

177
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.360
yeah yeah, and then like important
people came up and I'm like trying to

178
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.639
do a podcast like through them.
It was one of them kind of gotten

179
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.799
the way I feel. Did that? Don't worry about it. Tactor justin

180
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.759
like let la ask clowns doing did
you answer that question. No, there

181
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:43.679

awesome individuals there. Um. You know,

182
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.279
the people from MCBAP were there.
Which is the forum. I'm gonna

183
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:54.960
murder this. It's Michigan Board of
Addiction Professionals. I don't know where the

184
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.159
sea is, but no, that's
what it is. UM and they were

185
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.000
there represented. And then um there
was people there from Catholic Human Services.

186
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.360
There was people there from UM Sunrise. There are people there from Bear River.

187
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:16.120
There are people there from some recovery
housing. Um. Uh, let's

188
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:24.279
see our CEO was there or I
mean our c A Recovery Community CRI.

189
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.720
Sorry, recovery A line. Sorry. I knew I had the letters there.

190
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.879
I was picturing in my brain.
Um yeah, um no, there

191
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.279
was a lot of people there.
There was so it was it was really

192
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.320
interesting. They had some workshops that
we could scept that you were separated out

193
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:48.960
you could choose one or the other
UM, which were super informational and UM

194
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.120
yeah, I really enjoyed it.
Yeah, and shout out to Great Lakes

195
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:58.159
Recovery. They were there too,
and they had me host a panel discussion.

196
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.000
I guess yeah, we were.
Yeah, you were kind of the

197
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.480
facilitator of it. I was horrible. I kept stuttering. I was like

198
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.639
and my mouth was dry. And
they gave me this little last microphone,

199
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.200
like it was like ten swizzlers long, but half the size, half of

200
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.320
the diameter, and like I was
trying to like put my little mouth over

201
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.399
there, like hold talking to you. Like it was pretty dumb. I

202
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.720
mean, I'm not saying that they
should get new microphones, but they probably

203
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.000
should because they had one like wireless
you could pass, but I had to

204
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.000
pass that to the panel, so
left me with the stute microphone. I

205
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:35.879
couldn't even hear if. I was
making my voice into it, and it

206
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.960
went wonderfully. I thought, oh, I thought it was horrible. One

207
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.000
day, it came home and she
was like, you're funny at the end.

208
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:45.840
I was like, okay, all
right, you're whatever, man,

209
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.960
Like I didn't know how to take
that because she thought you were funny.

210
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.399
Yeah, well thanks, but I
don't know how to take that because it

211
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.799
was it like, oh my god, you are so funny. You like

212
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:05.480
tripped like four times up there,
you can oh jokes weren't landing? Oh

213
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.720
you thought you were thinking too much
into it? It went it went fine,

214
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:11.000
Yeah, it was Yeah, it
was an honor to do it though.

215
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.120
It was and they I mean they
asked you of all those people that

216
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.279
were there to step up and do
that, that means a lot. Yeah,

217
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.600
So I do appreciate them doing that. And it was actually Community Recovery

218
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.240
Alliance who was like, hey,
can you step in and do that?

219
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.200
I was like, yeah, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah and then yeah,

220
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.919
but it was good though, and
Murray was there. Ye, there

221
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.799
are people. Yeah, and we
got some stuff. And of course we

222
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.679
don't like to talk about what we
have coming up until like we know what's

223
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.840
coming up. But there's some interesting
things coming up for two seventeen Recovery and

224
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.960
it's pretty exciting, you know,
for being a recovery community organization like we

225
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.919
are and trying to move things forward
with helping people in the company. You

226
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.919
know, it would be huge.
So details coming soon on that, but

227
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.679
we just can't really talk about it
too much for them. I'm a governor.

228
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.480
I'm not talking about that. As
soon as we as soon as we

229
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:17.000
get the go ahead to talk about
new things, we will be We'll fill

230
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.759
you in promise. Yeah. My
man up in Charlotte, boy, he's

231
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:26.039
running for president. Chow is what
we call him Derek Chowden. He's on

232
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.000
the podcast I think our first season, the first year. We don't have

233
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.679
seasons, we have years. But
he's running straight up for president. I

234
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.919
was like, damn, bro,
Like that's pretty pretty balsy, but I

235
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.519
can't win if you don't run.
Yeah, I don't know if they'd ever

236
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.320
tell you about him or any of
his story. No, it was crazy,

237
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:51.840
man, Like he like, think
about like the worst thing you could

238
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.960
do to your family and then times
that time by like ten, and that's

239
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.960
what he did. And yeah,
and you know, I'm not I mean,

240
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.720
we talk he was on a podcast. We talked about it. I'm

241
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.680
not knocking him. I like the
guy. And to see him bounce back

242
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:08.079
as z a miracle because a lot
of people would not. They would have

243
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.599
just they would have not. But
he told his family, like he was

244
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.880
so bad in his addiction. He
told his family he had cancer, he

245
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.839
was dying. Like he played that
for a while. And I know he

246
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.000
was telling me that his daughter didn't
talk to him for a long time,

247
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:29.559
and like just everybody just was like
f you you know, and understandably,

248
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.079
you know, and he gets it, you know, He's like I get

249
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.000
it, man, so from someone
who can make I would say, almost

250
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.920
the ultimate mistake, you know,
and the ultimate lie, and you know,

251
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.440
bounce back and clean himself up.
And look, he accepts what he

252
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.920
did, you know, and he
knows that he was in his active addiction,

253
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.279
but he doesn't pass that off as
an excuse. You know. He

254
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.640
says that that's just horrible. That
was miserable. And you know, so

255
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.599
whatever you are in your recovery to
think that, you're like, man,

256
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.839
I can never come back from that. You know. I called her a

257
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.960
bitch or I called him an asshole
or whatever. You know, Yeah,

258
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.960
it can. You can get some
stuff back, and will you get everything

259
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:11.519
back? I don't know, But
you can't beat yourself up over that because

260
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:12.640
that would be one like I said, like, I don't think any a

261
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.640
lot of people come back from that, because that would be a ass kicking

262
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.480
every single day. Yes, and
to you know, even ask for forgiveness

263
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.920
on something like that, it's just
nuts. But anyway, Yeah, if

264
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.319
he's run for president, you know, I'm just saying those are big dreams,

265
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.839
but maybe we start a governor,
you know, That's what I'm saying

266
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.440
because I think that if I would
have ran against Whitman, I could have

267
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.039
won, just saying, for real, don't look at me like that.

268
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:44.759
You get these big eyes that turns
sexy or something. What are you doing.

269
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.880
No, I'm just saying, with
giving the right campaign, I could

270
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:55.279
have won. And look, I'm
not gonna stoop to her level. I'm

271
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.759
not gonna do it. I'm gonna
run my clean campaign. I'm gonna give

272
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.480
thee what they want. And that's
a good governor, a good man,

273
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.920
good honest, hard working man.
Yeah, in my first video, I'm

274
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:14.119
gonna have I already playing this out, honey, listen, because this still

275
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.480
might happen. I'm gonna have um, somebody who looks like Whitmer like up.

276
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.079
What I'm just saying, like when
you're playing dirty and no, I'm

277
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.680
gonna go up and I'm gonna congratulate
because she's gonna be gone. I might

278
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.519
running against her. That's the whole
thing, is the whole politician. That's

279
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:33.119
because everybody here. If your game
plan is to just bash everybody else,

280
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.400
that I already shame on you.
Okay, you ready, Yeah, all

281
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.960
right, it's last time I beg
you to let me finish. By the

282
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:47.599
way, he just kidding. So
anyway, so has somebody looks like Whitmer

283
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.720
and then me walking up to her, you know, we're outside ice cream

284
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.960
parlor, and I shake her hand
and I say good job, thinks,

285
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.480
and then she passes the baton and
I take it it. Meanwhile, in

286
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:02.720
the background, there's some guy stealing
an ice cream cone from some kids and

287
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:08.319
I stop him. I say,
don't do that. There you go,

288
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.920
that's it. Oh okay, well
I hadn't modify it quite a bit.

289
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.640
She started represend to me about what
I was really gonna do. But yeah,

290
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.359
that's what I was gonna do.
Yeah, no, bag. Now

291
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.160
what I really wanted to do,
though, is like Corey Winfield, you

292
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.559
have somebody thing is honey? You
say too much to be a politician.

293
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.920
I know, if people love it. I'm like Donald Trump. You cross

294
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.039
too many lines, I know,
but it's gonna be fun just saying him

295
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.079
I love you, but just saying, okay, so Corey Winfield, he

296
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.799
doesn't take ice cream from kids.
And then like, have this kid trying

297
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.839
to get me an ice cream and
let me smack it out of his hand.

298
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:56.000
Doesn't take ice cream from kids,
Corey Winfield, govern you want Michigan,

299
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.160
you want him in Lancing and had
me just like hanging out with them

300
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:07.759
all and Lancing like, what's up? I don't know, I have nothing

301
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:15.839
to say, Like Burgers, I
got nothing. My other campaign was gonna

302
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.799
be like F Michigan and then but
I have a whole thing about that.

303
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.759
Okay, Yeah, that's what I
felt like people are doing. If you're

304
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.920
from Michigan, F Michigan. That
that's why feel like some of the politicians

305
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.279
are doing to us. So anyway, I know, I know, I'm

306
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:36.880
just spitballing here. Whatever happened to
that whole positivity thing that you had going

307
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.440
on for a while when everyone was
like Corey is so positive? This is

308
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.960
like not it at all. I
was just spitballing here. You know,

309
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:52.400
I'm being governor anyway, Chow,
if you need a running mate, bros,

310
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.119
run the other way now look me
up. Man like yeah, look

311
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.799
me up. Well you already have
my contact. So it just texted me

312
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:04.359
as something that because I'll go back
with you can't one if you don't run.

313
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:11.480
That's true. That is one piece
that is true. So what we

314
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.680

315
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.559

317
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:29.759

guess, informal, but we will have

318
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.559
some sort of kind of like ceremonial. I don't want to say ribbon cutting

319
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.920
because we might not have a ribbon
that's cut. But I'm buy a ribbon,

320
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.839
I know, but I'm just saying
it doesn't It could be a theoretical

321
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.599
ribbon, you know. More so
just like we should cut an invisible ribbon

322
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.680
