My name's Correy Winfield. 8 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.759 My name's Marnie Winfield. This is the two seventeen Recovery Podcast, West Coast 9 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:44.759 Edition. Now on my Cory Winfield page on Facebook. I posted a couple 10 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.439 of pictures and I was like, where am I? And I think one 11 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.880 person said, hell, I don't remember. On a plane. I think 12 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.159 they were absolutely correct. It was a plan, no idea where I was 13 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.640 at. I don't think it was quite over the city we're in right now. 14 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.240 But if you want to play a little game, we can mention a 15 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.599 couple of things before we reveal our location. We are on our honeymoon, 16 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.879 yeah a little late. Yeah, well yeah. We got married twelve to 17 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.519 twelve twenty December twelfth, twenty twenty. And of course that was during COVID 18 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.959 and we couldn't really do much. I mean we only had six people at 19 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.519 our wedding something like that, yeah, plus the preacher. Yeah yeah, 20 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.359 so yeah, it was COVID wedding, which, by the way, I 21 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.000 totally recommend ten years, twenty years. You know, I don't know how 22 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.959 old you are now, but if you ever pull it together or know someone 23 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.200 who's going to pull it together and get married, yeah, do a throwback 24 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.840 like nope, we're gonna have a COVID wedding. You save so much money 25 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.120 that way, and you just get the the nitty gritty of it. It's 26 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.120 not a you know, nothing wrong with going to the courthouse to get married, 27 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.280 but it's not that kind of wedding and you still you don't have a 28 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.120 cake and all that good stuff. It's yeah, it's fun. I think 29 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.640 we did a great job with our wedding. There's some stuff that I think 30 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.759 that I wouldn't have done any different even if we had one hundred people there. 31 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.280 I mean I still got the dress, I still like got the hairted, 32 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.120 you know, so it was it was great. It's not like we 33 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.120 got married in our pajamas or anything. No. Yeah, I had the 34 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.599 tuxedo that I had to rent, but people didn't have to rent them. 35 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.759 No, come to our people and I had to go buy dresses. Yeah, 36 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.240 we didn't have I mean even if family like, it was just it 37 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.120 was weird times, you guys. Know, you know, nobody wanted to 38 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.759 travel, and it was just it was lots of unknown So I don't think 39 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:46.240 people could travel. Then You're probably right. Actually I don't think they were 40 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.479 even able to. Yeah, so but it was great and here we are 41 00:02:52.520 --> 00:03:00.599 now finally celebrating our marriage now on our honeymoon, just a little later than 42 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.520 most people take their honeymoons. Well, and then you got involved in school. 43 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.479 Yeah, and with two seventeen recovery, I couldn't really be gone really, 44 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.120 I guess you could say. But now that we have, you know, 45 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.759 actual staff and people that can cover things. You know, Justin's doing 46 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.120 a great job with that, Adam as well, Mitchell. You know, 47 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.639 they're handling things. And of course we bought we brought Germany on and he's 48 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:31.199 gonna kind of make sure that the two seventeen Recovery centers open for meetings later, 49 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.439 you know, because like right now, I think the website says that 50 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.159 we're open from like nine to five, but really it'll be like nine to 51 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.199 eight, you know. So somebody wants to come host a meeting or run 52 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.719 their own meeting on a Saturday, you know, feel free, that's what 53 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.479 it's form. So yeah, so we have different people now, so it's 54 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.879 a lot easier and we can actually for the first time get away. You've 55 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:58.560 graduated, which is amazing. Oh god, it's so surreal. So proud 56 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.159 of you, thank you, and I get all like not teary eyed, 57 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.280 but like an emotional I want to talk about what an inspiration you are, 58 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.599 you know, because it's not just two women, but just just an inspiration, 59 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.840 you know, to say I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna finish it. 60 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.759 And you did it, and you know, there was a point in 61 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.040 your life where you probably thought you were never going to do it, you 62 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.439 never would have a chance, and just it is what it is, yea. 63 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.680 So I'm proud of you. Now you can be a stay at home 64 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.439 mom. Just kidding, I'm gonna stay at home dead. Go get that 65 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:38.120 chedda now. But so today though, we went to the place that we 66 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:44.319 were going to for our honeymoon years later, and we got here. It 67 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.160 was on the West coast, like I said, so three hours different. 68 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.759 So we got here, our time would have been three am. Yeah, 69 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.480 we got actually to the hotel, you know, at that time, and 70 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.920 so it's midnight here, and the the guy behind the counter sucked and he's 71 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:08.000 horrible. He was not on his best It wasn't in his best terms. 72 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.199 First, yeah, it was an employee of the month this month, for 73 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.279 sure. No, I think he was taken out on us. But sometimes 74 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.680 you gotta look inward, you know, like what am I doing? Am 75 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.399 I doing enough? Am I doing just enough to get by? He wasn't 76 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.480 even doing that. So anyway, they give us a room that we did 77 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.839 not book, right, they gave us like some closet space, which was 78 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.680 great for people looking for a closet space. But so honeymoon, yeah, 79 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.040 two and a half years later, you know, like, yeah, I 80 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:43.319 don't think good stuff. And so I was not happy, tired. Cree 81 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:49.759 was cranky. He was mean, not mean, just not in a good 82 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.639 place. No, And I think you went in the bathroom or something, 83 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.040 and or maybe it was you're already sleeping. I got up into the night. 84 00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.639 But I started thinking about that. I was like, man, that's 85 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.839 not fair for Marnie, you know, for me to be like grumpy. 86 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.199 And I mean, I wasn't mad at you, and I wasn't grumpy at 87 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.759 you, but I don't know, maybe that's how I look at it, 88 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.480 but maybe I wasn't gonna be No. I think it's one of those things 89 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.680 where we and I kind of started thinking about this too. It's like, 90 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:23.959 okay, so it's practicing gratitude, right, but it's also like recognizing things 91 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.160 that are out of our control. It was a bunch of things combined, 92 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.319 and then it's also like making the best out of the situation. But it's 93 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:40.920 also like expectations, right, So we kind of sometimes set ourselves up for 94 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.240 what things are going to look like and what things are going to be like, 95 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.040 and if they're not exactly like that, then we can like crash and 96 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:51.519 burn and that can just be us, whether that's emotionally and mentally, and 97 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.360 then that takes away from like the whole whole experience, right, And sometimes 98 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:04.000 you need to catch yourself within that moment and really like you know, calm 99 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.319 yourself down and recognize, like, what can I do about this to fix 100 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.319 it. Yeah, And I wasn't like start raving mad, No, you 101 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.160 were just being a big a hole. Wow. But yeah, because they 102 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.600 didn't deliver on what they're supposed to. Yeah, but there's nothing we could 103 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.639 fix it. Three o'clock in the morning our time. It felt like three 104 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.879 o'clock in the morning for sure, after flying all day, which is not 105 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:38.279 fun. I just don't care for it. But so we're here now at 106 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.439 our destination. Yeah. And then we got up and there was a call 107 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:49.199 to management or something and our management and they called their management and they, 108 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.920 oh, we're so sorry. Was it supposed to be that way? Oh 109 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.879 you're Corey Winfield. Oh my god, you're Corey Winfield's wife. Oh my 110 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.480 god. We're so sorry. That should never have happened to you. We 111 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.000 apologize. I think that's what they said. Someone That's not what they said 112 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.639 at all. But they got resolved. It definitely got resolved. So yeah, 113 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.720 So we had our first wonderful day on our vacation. You haven't disclosed 114 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:24.079 where we're right yet, Okay. We went for a walk that was twenty 115 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:31.279 miles long up hills. It was a mile with bears and don't nature whatsoever. 116 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.960 There was plenty of nature. I have pictures to prove it. Okay, 117 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.240 the ocean is greenery. Um, we were really high up in the 118 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:50.639 air a couple times. We had coffee on the breakfast thing was was interesting. 119 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:58.480 We went to this market that's a clue and it's up on Pike Street 120 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:09.080 and there's like fish and stuff. And we went to this restaurant that had 121 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:18.240 crab egg eggs, benedict something. Yes, Oh, it was like one 122 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:24.519 hundred dollars, which I didn't get that. And then we got our coffee 123 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.440 number two. And at the original Starbucks, we did not get our coffee 124 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.919 there. We saw the line for that, which was about eight blocks long. 125 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.600 Yeah, it was stupid. It's not where we're gonna go for coffee. 126 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.600 Sorry. And but the place that we went to they had some coffee 127 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.120 there. We got that and we walked up three flights of stairs to have 128 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.639 our breakfast, which it was pretty cool. I worry about the people who 129 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.720 worked there. The lady who brought us our food up three flights of stairs, 130 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.759 she was quite a bit on her stash. She should a mustache a 131 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.840 little bit. Well, it wasn't like mustache, it was a sweatstash. 132 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.000 I don't know. If you noticed that. I felt so bad for because 133 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.960 it was so hot. It was so hot in there. I was just 134 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:20.480 sweating, like just it was an unbelievably hot and I felt bad for her 135 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.679 as we looked out over the ocean and our breakfast she brought us all the 136 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.000 way up them three flights of stairs. Felt bad. It's like, man, 137 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.360 we didn't come here today. She would't had to go to ball them 138 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.600 stairs. She probably would have for somebody else. But we were grateful and 139 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:46.399 it was delicious breakfast. M hm. Then we went to this place that 140 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:54.000 is called Wings over Washington. That's it number three. Should be able to 141 00:10:54.039 --> 00:11:01.399 figure it out. Yeah, so that was I'm was sickening, like literally 142 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.559 it was. It was virtual like a ride almost yeah, I said. 143 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:18.360 It was five five five k drone footage and oh it was like a virtual 144 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.039 sight seeing tour of of the area around the city, Oh actually of Washington 145 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:30.440 general. Yeah. So but I enjoyed it. I mean I would do 146 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.279 it again if I mean, I wouldn't do it again now like twice, 147 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.320 but I would. I would definitely suggest going. I think it was worth 148 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:43.519 it. Yeah, it was nineteen bucks. Yeah, it was pricey, 149 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.720 but vacation and we don't drink, and that would have been like, you 150 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:54.279 know, yeah, put in that perspective and it was cool. And look 151 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.120 here's how it was like they strapped you. When I thought that the guy 152 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:03.440 was just kidding. We watched this long ass video of this guy doing cheesy 153 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.879 stuff talking about we're out here and we're gonna go up to the whatever and 154 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.159 we're gonna see this and that and watch out because the raccoon's gonna take all 155 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:20.200 your jewelry or something. And it was cheesy, like I said, definitely 156 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.360 something the kids would probably get a kick out of. But it was you 157 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.039 and I and then like some real older couple, so none of us were 158 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.279 really feeling that guy or the little skit they were doing. So but then 159 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.080 we going to the actual room and we sit down and you were gonna like 160 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.320 sit right next to the people, and I was like, can we just 161 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.840 like we separate a little bit, and she's like yeah, I say where 162 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.320 you want and you strap in And I asked the lady, can we sit 163 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.559 in the front, and she said, you are in the front, And 164 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.200 that really confused me because they were like three rows and we were in like 165 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.399 the back row, and so She's like, no, you are on the 166 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.399 front because this thing like picks up and moves and I'm like what, So 167 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:07.679 we really did have to strap in and then it was like drone footage. 168 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.639 But yeah, it was then three D and it felt like we were there 169 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.240 and we had just eaten breakfast. Like I started feeling because I was trying 170 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.960 to follow this eagle, yeah, because I was like, like, the 171 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.399 spirit of this eagle comes out of this thing. Yeah, definitely don't go 172 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:30.879 right after you beaten on that. But it was I really enjoyed it. 173 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.320 I thought it was cool and I had like missed spray, Like it was 174 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.600 lots of different sensory things that made you feel like you were like you were 175 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.799 actually like flying. It was pretty cool because this eagle, it comes out 176 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.000 of this total pole, okay, and not this thing. It comes out 177 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.200 of this total poole. And then it's like trune in the spirit and then 178 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.879 you follow it and it's like over the ocean and coming back around through the 179 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.799 whip, around through the woods, and I started like trying not to follow 180 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.399 the eagle because that's when I felt the sickest, like I started seriously in 181 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.039 emotion thing this and then it would like going too our falls and then you 182 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.559 feel like a little mist of water on you and you're like, oh, 183 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.519 wait what And then it went through like fields of tulips or something, and 184 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.360 then they like sprayed sprays so you could smell it, which I thought that 185 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.399 was pretty cool. That's cool. But yeah, it would just you know, 186 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.159 yeah, definitely take the kids and stuff it, like, yeah, 187 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.240 twenty bucks or nineteen dollars. Maybe it's like sixteen dollars. But it was 188 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.960 fun. And then we were maybe we're gonna go to the aquarium, but 189 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.720 we're gonna hit that later. But then we went to this Great Wheel I 190 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.720 think that's what they call it, right, the Great Wheel, and right 191 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.080 now it's lit up and we're looking at it from our corner. Sweet. 192 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.320 By that, I mean we're in the corner of the building and we have 193 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.879 windows and from the bed and windows on the side of the bed, like 194 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.519 overlooking the city and the ocean. It's pretty amazing. Yeah, that's pretty 195 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.799 cool. So we're just gonna stay here in the room the rest of the 196 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.320 No. No, it's it's almost like these two where I realized because we 197 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.039 went to a meeting earlier and ironically hit me that when I was in the 198 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:18.080 hospital, the Super Bowl was on, and it was the Super Bowl that 199 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.360 Tom Brady and the Patriots played against Seattle and Russell Wilson through the interception at 200 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.799 the one yard line and they were just they were going to win the game. 201 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.600 I mean, it was clear as day they were gonna win the game. 202 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.720 But Carroll called the pass and rest is history, and so I had 203 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.759 to bring that up. I was like, yeah, because I was in 204 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:41.519 the hospital in twenty fifteen, you guys probably remember a Super Bowl and lots 205 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:48.320 of lots of groaning after that. Yeah. Yeah, but it was kind 206 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.200 of funny but kind of interesting, and you know, to be where I 207 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.320 was then and to be here now, Like if you would have walked again, 208 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.480 I say this a lot, but if you would have told me back 209 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.039 then, this is where you're going to be, you know, in four 210 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.960 and a half years and you're crazy. Of course that wasn't four and a 211 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.679 half years ago, but um, I've been cleaning four and a half years. 212 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000 But yeah, if you would have came, if you'd have just walked 213 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:11.919 in the hospital, I'm like, Hi, I'm Martie. I'm going to 214 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.279 be your wife, and you know we're gonna be going to Seattle and our 215 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.720 honeymoon. I'm like, what for real? But it won't actually be our 216 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.840 honeymoon. It will be two and a half years after an epidemic. What 217 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:33.039 about virus that everyone scares the crap out of everyone? And I will give 218 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.799 it to you twice? What couplevid? Yeah? I know, but you 219 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.240 gave it to me twice. You gave me COVID. Did I give you 220 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.639 a COVID once? You gave it to me twice? Well, we don't 221 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.759 know, but we no matter what, we both probably you guys probably know 222 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.480 if anybody at your people in your hops will usually end up with it. 223 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.519 There's no there's no way. I wasn't going anywhere. Yeah, so things 224 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.720 are different now anyway, man, back to my point of that, Yes, 225 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.400 to be where we are now and to you know, be able to 226 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:12.440 afford nineteen dollars to go on a sky or whatever else called Wings over Washington 227 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:17.160 tour, you know, or a little whatever it was, that's cool. 228 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.680 You know. If we can have breakfast and walk up three flights upstairs, 229 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.359 like, that's cool. If I can walk one hundred miles around the city. 230 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:32.119 My back fat's hurt, and I mean it's bad. Then you know, 231 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.599 I'm blessed. Yeah, you know, but I had to talk to 232 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.880 you because you speedwalk. But I think I think I put it in pretty 233 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.440 good terms. You're there. I'm like, honey, imagine if there's another 234 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.200 you on your back, you know that slow you down a little hut. 235 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.640 I mean that's kind of what it is, you know. I'm like, 236 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.000 I know's I tend to I tend to walk a little fast, just slow, 237 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.240 take it easy. Yeah, you know, my knees are like help, 238 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.160 help, help with every step, and you're just like, nope, 239 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.039 nope, nope, let's go, let's go. It's not really let me 240 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.160 know what I'm saying. Like, I got, yeah, a lot of 241 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.480 weight on meet. I'm trying to carry around and here you're not. So 242 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.000 you're just flying around places, and I'm like the slow wood. I know 243 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.920 I need to work on that. I really do. Seriously, you wouldn't 244 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.720 know we were married. She walks like thirty feet in front of me. 245 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:23.079 That is not true. I'll just take my time taking the city. No, 246 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.799 it's not true, but you'd walk her. So the meeting, the 247 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.759 a meeting was awesome. We got an uber to it. So I was 248 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.599 out in like Queen Park or something. Yeah, just the name of it. 249 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.359 Yeah, it's whatever. Anyway, it was it was awesome. I 250 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:45.440 mean there was maybe what fifteen people there, so yeah, fifteen maybe so 251 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.640 yeah, and it was good. They did like an open chair or an 252 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.359 open kind of lead talk in the beginning, and then you know, one 253 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.440 guy was coming up on eleven years and he shared some and you know what, 254 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:02.039 it's just like if you wouldn't have told us, if you would have 255 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.680 been anywhere else, i mean walked in those doors, you wouldn't have known 256 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.599 that we were on vacation, you know what I mean. Like it's it's 257 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.240 across the country, but it's just as familiar as if we would have been 258 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.680 in our own hometown. I mean, just different faces. Nobody knows us, 259 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.319 so um, that piece is different, but I don't know. I 260 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.920 just it was awesome and I'm sure we're going to hit a bunch of more 261 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.839 meetings this week. Um. That's kind of one of my favorite things to 262 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.799 do when I'm on vacation because it's the first time that I'm actually having an 263 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:34.400 opportunity to like have the time to do so, so, you know, 264 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:41.920 first week off of work and forever ever and ever since I think since we 265 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.200 went to California. Why did you go to calor Oh, Pittsburgh forlore? 266 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.200 So yeah, yeah, that was like three days. Yeah, it was 267 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.279 always for something. Yeah, this is our first like real, like, 268 00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.519 what are we going to do today? I don't know, we don't have 269 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.640 any plans. When we came, You're like, we don't have anything planned. 270 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:04.799 It was great, like I don't know, we have not one thing 271 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:10.240 planned, and now we do have one thing planned. Yeah, we can 272 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:14.119 see it from we're here right here. We can see the stadium looming field. 273 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.240 We're gonna go tour that. It's because it's cool. So obviously you 274 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:25.920 guys have figured out we are in Seattle. Yeah, supposedly rains nine months 275 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.200 out of the year. It was beautiful today, except it was hot as 276 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:33.759 hell this morning, but then it cooled off the little rain and we were 277 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.720 talking to the lydiat Aa and she's like, yeah, I will supposo be 278 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.640 Sunday today, but it wasn't in the rain. Yeah, but it's not 279 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.200 like pouring rain. It's just like drizzle. Yeah, so it's kind of 280 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.960 confusing. Like where we're from, Michigan, Yeah, it'll rain. Like 281 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.599 we had a huge storm before we came. Yeah, but sometimes in Michigan 282 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.160 it'll rain all damn day, you know, But I don't think it does 283 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.559 that here. It just looks like it's going to rain and then just kind 284 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.880 of sprinkles a little bit, and yeah, which that just irritate me. 285 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.000 I'm like, man, I want a good rain. Nothing wrong with a 286 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:22.279 good rain, and then a good snow nothing nothing wrong with it. But 287 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:29.880 anyway, um, yeah, So we'll check in with you this week again 288 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.079 at some point, I'm sure, yeah, because that's still Saturday for us 289 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.680 as we do this. But I think most of the people that listen probably 290 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.440 it's probably bad because yeah, it's way past their bedtime. Ye. So, 291 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.799 and we didn't bring our super duper travel mics because we're traveling, so 292 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.680 we brought the super duper little small mics And hopefully that sounds okay, but 293 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.279 I'm sure it sounds good enough. You understand what's going on, and you 294 00:21:55.400 --> 00:22:00.279 know, we'll put some pictures up to on our Facebook and stuff of the 295 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.839 stuff we're doing and some sober fun man fun in Seattle. Oh and we'll 296 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.920 tell you a funny story or should we tell it now? I'll just tell 297 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.799 him now because I guess it's probably not that funny. But when we were 298 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.480 down in our like lobby of this hotel, there's this like room for like 299 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.720 celebrities and stuff. So naturally, you know, they give us free passes 300 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.920 to that, and you need a key card to get in, and there's 301 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.319 this lady just standing there with a stupid look in her face. And I 302 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:37.480 thought, hmm, somehow she's supposed to be in there, but she's not. 303 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.880 So I just opened the door anyway using my pass that I got for 304 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.799 being famous. And then so it opens the door and she's just kind of 305 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.359 look at me like, oh, my husband forgot us key. And as 306 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.759 I walk up, I just smelled that old lady perfume. I was like, 307 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.400 oh man, she showered in it, Like what's up? And she 308 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.640 goes in and she's just like warrior. I could tell like, Okay, 309 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.400 someone's not right with this woman, you know. And then she goes on 310 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:03.960 to start to start talking about how she had to go get a drink. 311 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:14.559 And you are wearing your two seventeen recovery sweater shirt thing and on the front 312 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:19.720 of your shirt that says sober yea. And she's going on and looks at 313 00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.079 you and then she starts to tell you where you need to go if you 314 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.920 want a drink. Yeah, like okay, well apparently she does not know 315 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:33.240 how to read. And she ended up locking herself out again because she didn't 316 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.160 have her key, because she went out to another door and try to come 317 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.039 back in she couldn't and then thinking you had to let her in again. 318 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.400 Yeah, I'm like this lady, she can't read. Like, it's not 319 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.519 just shirts, you can't read signs that say don't leave here without your key 320 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.720 or press this button to open the door, Like we should do something for 321 00:23:52.839 --> 00:24:00.599 people who have problems reading, you know, It's just it was it's a 322 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:07.000 lounge for like the members, the club, members of the not and nobody's 323 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.400 seeing us at all. But no, it's Yeah, it was funny because 324 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.519 I was I mean, she she didn't know, but she's like, you 325 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.839 have to go to the outside to get your cocktails if you want to drink. 326 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:26.799 And I'm like, I'm good, thank you. Yeah, but yeah, 327 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.720 she's she was having a hard time. Oh, she's just doing her 328 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.200 thing, you know, can't be mad at her. I wasn't mad. 329 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.960 It was it was funny because I was like, apparently I can't read I'm 330 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.960 sober. Maybe a little late for her to process. Maybe she thought you 331 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.480 were being slick with it. Maybe don't give me one of them sober shirts 332 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:55.240 people think I'm sober. Yeah, so let it to let's right now and 333 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.720 that later because it really wasn't that funny, all right, But we will 334 00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.920 talk to you later, and like I said, we'll post some pictures if 335 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.319 you're want to follow along on our trip. But yeah, things we can 336 00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:11.079 do now that we're sober that could have never done. We'd be dead if 337 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.640 we're still drinking. So oh absolutely, And it's nice to actually live life 338 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.200 for once and just don't give up. You know, it's maybe hard right 339 00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.799 now, or you're going through something or you know somebody who is. You 340 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.839 know, just don't give up. It takes what it takes until it finally 341 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.440 starts clicking, and then you're just on your way and you hit this groove 342 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.039 and it's the most amazing thing you'll ever come across. And then the fact 343 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:37.039 that you went through all that hell and all that pain and made it through 344 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.599 the other side, and it'll just tell you and show you that you can 345 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.559 do things that you never thought you could. And why I hung on so 346 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:51.279 long to the notion that I had to drink was beyond me. I mean, 347 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:52.720 that's that's what it does to your brain. It tricks you, and 348 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.319 it makes you think that you can't live without it, and the thought of 349 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.480 living without it is just insane. But I'm telling you, and Marnie, 350 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.880 I'll tell you the same thing. You know. It's beautiful, Yeah it 351 00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:11.160 is, but so true.
