This is the two seventeen Recovery Podcast with Corey Winfield. Yeah, it's hard
right now. It's tough. It sucks. You want to crawl a hole
and die. But this could be the best thing that's ever happened to you.
Justin Burke, then we actually take better care of her than our plants
are you're talking about Susan. You're back on that, Yeah, and Mitchell
old Brian. I watered all of the plants, all of them. It
is the twenty third of February twenty twenty four. My name is Corey Winfield
and this is the two seventeen Recovery Podcast, joined in the North studio by
Justin Burke, What up and Mitchell O'Brien. It's good to be back.
Nice. Got the plants. I watered the miles. Susan, her cage
is taking care of always. It's a fun Friday, so we're gonna have
today. It's a fun Friday. Justin, you're actually off today? Yep,
yep? How's that? The time going poorly? I have major commitment
issues. I love it when you take time off and then you never get
to take it off. It's beautiful, I know, it's like it's like
what a boss wants to see besides commitment, ask kissing on social media,
which which, by the way, you know this guy, there's a difference
between as kissing and flattery. You know, it's I'm trying to flatter you.
That's it's actually quite offensive, you know, but if you generally mean
it, which I think Justin does mean it, you know, because I'm
pretty good boss, you know, almost say I meant no boss. The
timing was sus for me. Yeah, it was after my disappointment of last
week. Oh, I mean I forgot about that, but you did.
It's so funny because like every week we do check ins, you know,
we sit down and we do them together, and we go over check and
sheet, you know, like what's what's your obstacles, What's what's the good
things happening? You know with some goals, And you guys start and like
battling each other of who had like the most yeah sg sheets, you know,
and obstacles and self pity, and you're like, oh, just you
were winding on yours and you're like, oh, yeah, well you wind
on yours too, about oh I don't know how to do this or I
can need more time to do this, and it was just back and forth.
And where I was coming from is you put what our obstacle is.
And so I put an obstacle in there, and somebody in this room put
his whole sheet. The goals and everything were I'm not gonna feel everybody again
or disappoint my boss. And yeah, so just put your winding in the
winding slot. Obstacles and that's all I'm saying. I think we all,
I mean, we all mess up. I mean, it's just it's a
fact of life. It's how we learn. You know. I messed up
with the irs. Yeah, it's never good. And it wasn't a mess
up, it just was late. I was on Corey Time and the IRS
was like, we don't play Corey Time here, You're fine, And I
was like, but we don't even pay you taxes like what you like,
that's why we get fined. Holy cow man, Like that's a kick in
the nuts. Yeah, but I learned. I learned. I did learn
it, my god. So yeah, that sucks. So you know,
everybody makes mistakes whatever, but it's just are they repeated two out of three
people have issues with the I R s Oh okay, wow. Just statistically
in this room. Well, I mean you don't have an issue with them.
No, I got money back. I'm gonna get money back every every
year get my taxi done. And I had to pay them so they get
send money to Ukraine this year too, bastards. That's fucked. Like Michigan,
I was like cool. I mean it kind of evened out, but
still it's like, why now I got pay the Feds to some money to
Ukraine or wherever else I'll sending it, you know, like that kisses me
off? Does that work? Like? Can I just keep my seven hundred
and they can send someone else's money over there. I don't even know what's
going on in this radio station. I listen to Out of Dallas, like
the morning show, and I don't know what's going on. I don't know
what's real in the world sometimes, you know, like when Kyrie Irving came
out with the basketball player Place for Dallas, when he came out and said,
oh, I believe the world's not round, And he wasn't really saying
that, he was just saying he doesn't have enough information on his own,
and if he went around believing what everybody told him, he'd be the stupid
person. You know, and I think a lot of times people just believe
what people tell them. Oh yeah, you know if you saw a TV
commercial and you're like, this is the best Ford ever because it has the
toughest hit a tailgate. No, it has the toughest new titanium to put
on the sides of it, so it don't rust out like every other piece
of Ford crap does, you know? And you'd be like, damn,
it's got the new titan And you start telling people that you don't know that
for sure, you weren't the scientists who put it together. You know,
you didn't make the new titanium rustproof because clearly Ford, you know, they
don't care about your Ford rusting away. They kind of pride themselves in that.
They're like I think at their meetings at Ford, they just sit down
and go, you know what we need. We need a car that's gonna
run about twenty years but only lasts about four years on the outside. That
way, people know that's for tough and then dissolves like like eco friendly toilet
paper. Yeah, and you know we'll do We'll get that guy that goes
out to them dirty jobs places. We'll get him to voice it because you
don't like him. Yeah, yeah, he's Ford tough, built, Ford
tough. Yeah, America, and we just still let up North. We'll
be fine. The South people people from South allbutt anyway because it's tough and
they like rust anyway, they get pissed off and their stuff doesn't rust.
The northern Michigan people are so well because it's just gonna not even exist.
Yeah. But my point though is I don't even know I was someone k
and believing stuff that you're told. What was before that? We got like
somebody leaving a long message on our answer me sure right now. So I
was trying to kind of talk over that so like people wouldn't hear the whole
message, and then calling the person back. And I'm still trying to do
that right now. But we'll see because it's still going. Yeah, if
that helps or not, I mean, whatever they need, clearly we are
not going to provide it at this moment. They're trying to figure out what
I was even talking about. So I believed you because you told me,
yeah that actually was really happening. But with was that talking about the governor
or something? No, Well, it started with sending the money to Ukraine
and I was thinking, oh, yeah, yeah, they send the donut
shops money to Ukraine exactly. Man, they closed down for a day because
they cared about something. I don't really know us. Oh that's totally different.
But my point though is that I don't really know. All I know
is what's on TV, what people are telling me. And I heard one
person say, well, Putin was just bored and decided he was going to
attack him. He's crazy. Like so you just sit around one day and
like, I'm bored. I was just attacked this other country. And then
I heard it was like a bunch of other things, and I heard they
were like terrorist tacks included. I don't even know. I don't know if
that's true either, but I just don't believe what's on TV. In this
radio station I was to every day, the guy makes the reference about how
Russia is out there killing kids and killing this and killing that. Well,
it depends what country you talk to. They would say the same thing about
us. And like yesterday when the whole at and t or all the cell
phones so like not ours, but like cell phones were like shutting down,
and one of our top officials supposedly I heard it from the same radio station
said that we could expect to be hacked. We expect China Russia to attack
our infrastructure and they go after our cell towers and hack into them and stuff
and Russia. That's what they said, So most be true, right,
But you know, and my whole counterpoint to that is, okay, so
why would they expect that? Did China catch us hacking into theirs? Probably
because I'm sure we're hacking in some shit, you know, So like if
we called that, I mean, they fly of freaking weather blue. And
that's how old school they are. They're like, look at this up here.
Meanwhile they're they'll bait and switch. Yeah and yeah, I guarantee you
we're doing it, And wouldn't you want to be doing it? So the
same time, you know, you take someone from China or these other countries,
wouldn't you want your country to be doing that? Well? And if
somebody attacked us, would you what do you think we would do? Think
about this. The government wants to it's people to believe certain things, to
do certain things. So how does that look? You have a government wants
you to hate another government, So create a big bad wolf m hm.
And then create a situation that big bad wolf is doing to make other people
afraid. So then your people will now back you to go and do it
you want to them because you made him live in fear. Yeah. So
am I saying that's what's happening, that's all fear. No, but I'm
saying that it feels like it's happening. Oh, that happens because our news
is very one sided against let's just say putin. You know, we only
ever hear about the bad things he does. We don't ever hear about anything
good that he does. I don't know. I watched his interview with Tucker
and it was quite yeah, and it was quite informational. I felt,
you know, he gave a long history of Russia and you know, and
said that he tried making peace with like the United States, with multiple different
presidents, and it got him nowhere. You know, he's always been shunned
as like a horrible person when he just tries to help. And because he
claims that he's the biggest land mass country there is in the world, so
everyone feels threatened by him. I feel more threatened than the fact that he's
a president's air quotes there. Yeah, how long has he been the president
twenty some years. Yeah, that's not a presidential like. Well, that's
just because that's what we were brought up and raised in. You know,
our government only does four year terms. Yeah, we like, we like
to share our scamming. That's a you know, and that's what we do.
That's an emperor. That's doesn't make it wrong, you know. And
just because you're not like us, you know, yeah, and we're not.
I'm not saying Putin's good or bad. I don't know, you know,
And has he done bad things? Absolutely? Has this country done bad
things? America? Oh? Absolutely? You know, Like there's nobody who's
just sitting over there, maybe Sweden or something of just clean hands, going
hey Canada. No Canada, Canada kicks us out. Yeah, you can't
go there, drunk driving charge or something. But I don't even like Canada.
I don't even want to go to Canada. Nothing there for me.
He thinks, Tell that to your prime minister. Same think about that their
fake ass eyebrows. Yeah, ain't nobody trying to stop from the mounted pulled
police? Come buddy, I don't even pull you over, like, take
your hat off. Son. I got picked up by Canadian police once.
I think I talked about that on the podcast once we were in Your Bear
Mask there, I was sixteen years old by dirty magazine. Oh, let's
hear the story about the Mounted police getting I know that. I'm pretty sure
that none of my family actually listened. So, sixteen years old, I
went to Canada with my best friend and his family and another family that we
need through church, okay, and they were gonna be there for two weeks.
I had my first job at the time. I could only get one
week off, and so we were camping right on northern Lake Superior, not
far from like sus Saint Marie, like an hour up hour up the coast,
and like our campsite was like right on Lake Superior, right right there.
Yeah, So we were in this rusted campground in about half a mile
down the road was where the camps store. But it wasn't like any camps
or like campgrounds in America because it was it was kind of like what we
know as a party store. Then there was a post office and then like
a boutique and you could get your currency exchanged there. So it was like
a general store. But there were like three stores. It's three seven stores,
all right, there, but it was also where you went to like
the campground office to like get your campsite. Either way, you had to
walk down like the highway if you wanted to get there walking, and some
of my friend and I would do that every once in a while. And
they're just a little bit more loose right up there with their magazines that a
teenage boy would enjoy. So we were down there buying snacks. I'm getting
that new Dick Hunter magazine. We didn't swing that way, but anyway,
so we got our our treasures and our plastic bag and from the store,
and we're talking about how we're gonna sneak back into our campsite and our tents
and so we didn't get caught by the parents, and all of a sudden,
this cop pulls up behind us. Yeah, it was a regular cop
car. I was expecting a guy in a red suit on a moose.
But we're like, what are you trying to stop us? For, officer,
We're I mean, we're just these two basically kids that have never really
been in trouble before. So we're looking at him and he waves us over.
We're on the side of the highway. Waved him over. Yeah,
you come over here, buddy. My dumb ass friend goes to the roadside
and the cops like, no, over there, idiot, and like rolls
his window down so we won't go over there, and we're like, hello,
officer. None of us have dealt with police on any kind of a
real way other than religious as hell or we met it. That was the
whole thing is I'm sitting there with what I think is like a arrestable offense
in my hand, and it's just a like sports illustrated bikini edition whatever.
It wasn't even like it wasn't even a good one, But I mean,
you didn't need that when you're a church teenager, that was like good enough.
Really depends what church you want to do. Well. He says that
there's some two dudes that were harassing women back at the little store place that
we were walking from, and we told him, you know, well,
no, we're our parents are right over here, his parents are right over
here, and it's we're just walking back. He's like, all right,
get in and I'll take you over there and verify your story because he said
the other the dudes were older, but since we were too male, he
wanted to make sure age profiling, yeah pretty much, or yeah, yeah,
gender profiling. Two males. So we roll into our campsite in this
police car and my buddy's dad is standing right there and he was pretty nice
guy. He was a science teacher or science biology, can't remember over in
Kingsley here, and the look on his face is priceless. I'll never forget
it because it just looked like, what in the hell did you two do?
I'm going to kill you? Like yeah, And just even though we're
a little bit nervous because of our sassy magazines that we have with us,
we both heard just this big huge smile on our faces because we know we're
not actually in trouble with the cop. And we're sitting in the back seat
of this cop card pulling up to this this campsite just like and then he
lets us out and he's like, all right, I'm gonna talk to your
dad. And so the dad comes over and we scurry off to the hide
the magazine underneath the mattress, the cotton and her tent and Scott free with
that one. He's like, I thought you guys were in actual trouble,
and I was like, well, neither of us have ever actually done anything.
But yeah, I thought that was gonna be a good story. It
was a good story for me. I mean, that's a good story mention.
I'm glad you told it. And that's that's Is that the story you're
going to tell that recovery stories? Yeah, I think so. That's when
it started. Yeah, okay, because we do have an event coming up.
It's less than a week away. It's Thursday, twenty ninth of Februar,
and you guys are both telling the story part of it, which is
supposed to be three to five minutes long, and you don't you don't tell
your whole story. There's a guy that took the training with us when I
took the training, actual training, and that's the thing, Like I took
a training for you guys have not. So I kind of feel bad that
I'm just throwing you guys up there to be like, hey, go do
it and don't suck. But we're going to practice on it today, I
think. But me and like I don't know the other four people that went.
We did the training and we did it and it was good. And
the fact that you guys are going up there and hopefully you can tell a
pretty good story. But I'm again, I'm just killing time because Mitch was
moving his microphone because we heard someone come in. We were trying to figure
it out. So I was just your wife, just adding nothing messaging.
I'm adding Mitch stories to the podcast. Here formative memory of mine. I
got picked up by the cops in Canada. It was fun, okay.
Note to self, never mentioned Canada and an amount of the police again because
I'm never going to Canada anyway, So who cares? But are you guys
ready for your story? Though? I guess it was my question. I
feel more ready than I think you think I feel. Have you timed it?
I have not, other than we did. Any of you guys been
practicing in the car? Yeah? What do you think I do with all
my free time in the you call Mitchell? Pretty much? All right?
So rose Jay, who's going to be telling the story, also, she's
coming in today to practice her stuff and get it all good to go.
But I think it'll be fine, and it's kind of worried that there'll be
too many people there. But the first one, if you haven't seen it
yet, the videos out it's on YouTube. There's a link to that at
two seventeen recovery dot com. It's like an hour long, but the recovery
stories, like I said, are three to five minutes. And then we
have speakers. We have Jeff and we have Mike, which would be really
really good. I'm really excited about that. And then we have our tubing
event coming up that's on March sixth. Yep. So we got some things
kind of back to back sort of which keeps us busy. And that's just
the phone Mitch, if you can hear it. Yeah, people do call
us like we do work here, and when you come to my office sometimes
I say, let's do a podcast, and then we do it. And
then we spend the first twenty minutes talking about other stuff and then we dive
right into recovery when we got your ass now. But we do, and
that's kind of part of the podcast. When I was explaining the podcast of
the last people I did and when I was in Detroit for the training,
I kind of told them it's like, look, we're not going to be,
you know, doctor counselor therapist, even though Marnie's a therapist. But
we don't come on it this podcast with that approach. You know, we're
about having fun in recovery, about doing doing fun things and admitting things to
ourselves when we need to be held accountable. You know, are you doing
enough just to get by or are you doing enough to accomplish your goals?
You know, like if you if you take that into consideration on some of
the stuff you do, you'll realize, like, well, maybe I don't
even need to be doing that, you know, if I'm just half asking
it, if I'm just going through the motions, so maybe this isn't the
motion I need to be going through. I mean, justin you said,
I was putting that have a new camera cabinet that keeps my cameras because they
were just on the floor and I'm always trying to step on them and run
them over and a chair. And I was like, man, I gotta
do something about that. So I bought this kit and I put it together.
We get it all the way together pretty much. And on the back
because I have to have lights on everything apparently, and they had like these
little quarter sized holes for you to put your lights through on each shelf,
so there's like three or four of them. Well, the back one.
I had told Marty about do something, and I grabbed it and I put
it on wrong, so it was on the other side. So like,
okay, So I imagine, if you're looking at a shelf on the right
hand side, you get a hole top right hand corner, top right hand
corner, top rank, bottom left. And I was like, shit,
it's funny. And I was like, well, you gotta do it,
Mary, I don know. I'm like nope. I mean, if you're
going to do it, do it right. So he flipped it back over,
took it apart, flipped it and put it all back together. But
you know, why half asset? Why I have it look stupid? And
I'm glad that I did. Otherwise I'd be sitting here every day walking and
going why didn't I just do that the right? Yeah, it would have
taken me another fifteen minutes, but it would have been done right. You
know. I think a lot of people want to take that easy way,
even when you really, ah, damn it. Eh, that's all right,
and some things you can do that with that's fine. But I'm just
saying for me, it works out better because I seriously, every day I
would walk in here, I'd be like, why did I do that?
Now? I got too much stuff in it. Ah, But that's just
one example that you can give of like real life, like how are you
really doing things? How are you really living your life? How are you
really approaching things? And if you can ask yourself that and not everything's going
to be perfect, you're not gonna be one hundred percent of it, but
it'll kind of help you move forward with what you're doing and what you want
to do, just by how you do the little things. Sometimes. I'm
definitely going to think about that because you stared me right in the eyes while
you said to all of it, it's trying to make my point, it's
trying to improve my point. No, because some people just have a different
think on things. So that little plaque s that's right next to my office,
that says are you doing enough to get by? Where are you doing
enough to exceed your goals? You inspired that time? If you didn't share,
Oh no, you don't have to be sure like it was I remember
that day. Yeah, And because I think you needed a reminder, so
I gave you one. And I'm sure somebody has said that before. But
it wasn't like search sayings that are cool. No, that was like me
typing that out putting it on something, and yeah, I think I put
on two fingers like or hands touching each other, grabbing or reaching for each
other or something. Put a little to seventeen down there, little little to
seventeen tattoos. I remember putting that out too, And I'm like, I
think, I think you'll understand what I'm talking about. And it's just like,
I think, so for sure, You're like, I'm sure you put
it there because of me. And I remember the day where Corey's like,
I am putting this here because of Justin. Was that really that bad when
we started? Yeah. The thing about that, though, Justin, is
when and I like this about you is if there is a mistake, if
there is, you realize that you're maybe not doing something to the fullest,
or you need to change how you're doing something. When Corey tells you to
do it, you make an effort to do better and change. And I
appreciate that. I think that's how all employees should be. When your employer
tells you this is how you should be doing it, and I expect it
to be this way, you should conform to that and not go against the
grain. Yeah, this, I mean, like we have a very unique
situation with a two seventeen recovery center and with what we do as a recovery
community organization, and there's a lot of fun that we have and there's a
lot of chances for it, and there's a lot of like little things that
are just kind of gonna get you like, oh geez, really, But
at the end of the day, man, this is a really cool job
to have. And were you that bad? I don't know, but I
noticed it and I expected more from you. And they say, don't have
expectations, but I don't want to see people half assed in things, and
I know you're capable of more, Like when you first started writing blogs.
First I started out like, Hey, this will be a fun game and
everybody involved. And then get you guys familiar with writing things that you're not
familiar with writing about you know, And I gave you, guys all kinds
of crazy ass topics, but I let you choose it out of options I
gave you. But still it made you feel like, well, at least
I have some say in this which will make people want to do it more.
And you didn't want to get stuck with the last one because you're like,
oh no, that one's horrible, and you guys made the most of
it, and then you had fun with it. And now you guys both
write really really good blogs. I mean there was a while justin I was
giving you one star every week, yeah, you know, and then I
was like, all right, I want you guys to write a blog every
week. Those are the ones. I came in and I just snuck right
into my office busted one out and you could tell yeah you could. And
that's kind of what I was referring to with the other stuff. It was
just like you were doing just enough to get by. You know, you
weren't going above and beyond. You weren't. You were just kind of like,
hey, I'm here, it's cool, we made it. Let's go.
And it's like, no, we're just getting started. Man. I
need you guys, you know, I need you to do these things and
I need you to be this kind of kind of way. And you know,
we're more than just a oh, recovery center that holds meetings or more
than recovery coaches, you know, like we can live our lives in recovery
and put it out there, just like I did with the podcast, and
we can put it out there with things that we write about and talk about,
you know, like real life stuff with your daughter, with your son,
you know, like stuff that you guys are going through. That's how
other people will connect with us. You know. If somebody out there has
a fifteen year old son who keeps getting caught with weed pipes or whatever,
not pipes or vapes, yeah whatever. At school, there's somebody on our
staff that you can relate to. Guarant I know it for a fact.
There is somebody on our staff that will relate to you, and you can
talk to them, you know, and they will be like, well,
I don't know either, and you guys can brainstorm. There's people out there
with daughters who talk back. You know, there's people out there that have
ex wives who when they the kids go over there, it's like, I
don't want to say Peter Pan, but it's just like this, the kids
running around, Yeah, free for all. There we go, Peter paying
free for all. And then they come back to you on the weekend and
you're like, what the hell like and you got to lay down the log
in because they're just all wild ass, And that would be frustrating for me
as a parent. I'd be like, look, I get the kid dialed
in, goes to the moms or the dads or whoever you know, the
other parent, and then they come back to you and the grades are bad,
like everything, the attitude, and you're just like, well, I
thought we fix this, like this is what you're gonna do. And you
set up and you see the next week and it's the same thing, and
you're like, what is going on? Man? That would be frustrating as
hell. There's people out there that can relate to that and to know exactly
what I'm talking about. And there's some man in our staff, multiple people,
oh yeah, that could definitely help you with that. And then there's
like people are just cool as hell, you know, and I can relate
to them. Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding. But that's the
of it, you know, And that's what I really want to put out
there, because we're more than just helping the people that we come in contact
with every single day. There's people that we will never meet that have listened
to us, have run our stuff, that maybe take something from that.
And that's that's the beauty of it, you know, that's the beauty of
media and especially and I'm not going to say, social media, but some
of it and how people get their information, like we were talking about earlier.
You know, oh, if you heard it on TV, it's true.
You know that's dangerous and it's some of that social media stuffs dangerous too.
But if they can take it from us, who we have. We
have nothing to gain, you know. We're just getting stuff off our chest
and trying to help people and tell you what we're going through and did we
deal with it right? No, And here's what we did and here's what
we didn't do, and maybe next time we'll do this. Does that mean
that you need to do that exact same thing. Absolutely not, because it's
different for everybody. But I don't know if you know. And I got
a son on the way and it scares me. You guys go through somethings,
It really does. And I was like, oh, no, you
know, is he going to be the preacher's daughter? I know that was
probably weird for some people and they're like, what are you talking about?
And some people might know what I'm talking about. Take take some solace though,
or comfort in the fact that you are going to have a two parent
family structure. Yeah, knock on wood, hopefully, Thank you. Yeah,
and that, I mean, that's the plan of it all that everybody
has plans. You know, this will work out forever, and I'm sure
it will. I mean, Marty and we got married later in life.
We knew what we wanted, we knew what we didn't want, but still,
you know, adding another person into the mix changes everything. And hopefully
I'll be good enough to handle that and be a good father and a good
husband at the same time. I can't wait till you're at home alone,
all by yourself and he just blows his diaper out. Man, that's not
commercial. For the other day, it was like Pampers three sixty or something
that prevents blowouts hoop everywhere. I'm gonna get them three sixties, yeah,
because if you see on TV, it's true, just like that new four
Titanium's never gonna rush. Yeah. I was well to say, I hate
to burst your bubble, but them diapers, they blow out, they blow
blowout. The three sixty came out before my son was born, and hopefully
they've improved. Maybe it's the three sixty ones. Then it goes around and
just a little bit more go by the xbox, you know, the three
the pampers X. Now you wondn't even know he did it, because he'll
be like in his little bouncy chair or something. You go pick him up,
and you'll be like, oh my god, what happened. That'll be
laying there in his little crib just looking at you all adorable smiling because you
know, yeah, and you just pick him up and it's from the back
of his head down to his toes and you don't even know until you pick
him up. And now it's on your hands. Everything's gonna be thrown away.
I can see lots of bedding. And then there's the kids who get
a little bit older and then they start fingerpainting on the wall with it and
all over your walls, your walls brown. We were actually looking at the
room last night and we had Jill, who was our lately here at the
two seventeen Recovery Center. She and her husband and they have like this building
thing where they build homes and do all kinds of stuff, and we had
her over because we're like, we want to do this, this, this,
this, this, this, because you know, there's some things that
we want to kind of do touch up because the house we bother people half
assed everything in that when they were fixing it or painting it. I mean,
some of it's beyond half assing, just ignorance. So it's kind of
like cool to have people in there looking at it too, shaking their head,
going, we don't know what they were thinking with that, you know,
but we were picking out like a light gray slash white paint for Parker's
room, and I was thinking, like, don't they make stuff that's like
marker free or crayon free or or something, or do we just we just
say whatever, they don't do that, the markers and the crans on the
wall, they don't do that in their room. That's gonna be in your
kitchen. That's gonna be in your hallway, your living room, where the
first place that somebody who walks in your house looks at. That's where there
they're canvas they're gonna want to put their artwork. Might as well just chalk
chalkboard paint it. It's abstract, right, you know. There's like those
rooms that have like trim halfway up the wall. Just do that, but
just with that chalkboard paint. So just all the way around. People are
like, oh, I like the two tone. You're like Yeah, that's
so when all the place was it off be interesting, and I figured now
it would probably a good time to announce our new little project that I signed
you guys up for. I'm excited. I am too wed that as a
surprise until it launches, Okay, like up and coming, Yeah, up
and have something coming. That's it's gonna be a lot more structured than this
podcast, but it will be something of that sort, but it will be
structured a lot more and it'll it actually has a purpose, like this podcast
was to keep me sober, to have fun, talk about my recovery and
talk about my life and recovery. But there's yeah, let's leave it there.
Something coming, something common. I should be excited for. You already
told them it's basically a podcast. Burrow and Broette. How we don't call
women brouettes were calling bro I know what I'm saying, We just call them
bro. Which, by the way, women women love to be called the
bro right before they break up with you, because that's what happens. They
don't call women bro or man. You know what I'm saying. Almost broken
up with somebody for calling me bro, Like I'm not your bro when we're
dating I'm not some dude like you call me, he said when he say,
then I got my ass. I was born with mine, but I
can identify it now, that's what he said. Oh, come right in.
I'm very sneaky about it. You'll be talking to someone and I'll just
come in and sit at my desk and just bust one out real quick.
You can't say that. Nope, a little too fun with lean back in
my office here here, just like hitting with my pinky, just like,
yeah, that didn't work out very well. That's good we got in the
office. I can do that. My son was god like. They're like,
he she shouldn't have happened like it. I don't know how you know
what I mean, like, but I think that typically happens with the intercourse
or Adam. Yeah, I think that's what you told them when he said
that, the whole the whole clip you do. I'm like, I'm pretty
sure that intercourse. I remember, I remember the activities that led to my
son pretty well. I want to talk about it. No, I really
don't. You want to save that for maybe another podcast, an up and
coming project. No way, but we'll go ahead and keep that a secret
for now. We should we should we shouldn't talk about it and brought it
halfway out of the bag already. I just don't know the name of it,
but we pretty much can tell you what it's gonna be about. Let's
just leave it that a little bit of mystery, Yeah, and then also
cool thing with it if it is like something like this that we're doing right
now, but it'll be film. I gotta work on my camera body.
I'm gonna be at Cabilla's every Saturday. We're gonna be a Duke's motorol shop
being the gage. Hey that just keeps the motor oil under his desk.
I see that. Yeah, that's out of the way. There's not room
in their closet for it. There could be some shields, some cleaning,
some organization women here. Just kidding, just kidding on cricket, cricket.
I almost got beat up by this kid for snoring, but I was like
four times the size, So I mean, yeah, so I don't say
stuff like that. I'll get beat up by people. But this is a
this is a fun day for us to have. And you guys are gonna
start your recovery stories to stuff or practicing. I guess you could say.
So, uh, we'll do a fun Friday. And thanks you guys for
