31
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.840
He was trying to show you that. So what's it like at school?

32
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.240
Get made fun of here and there, but mainly it's really good yeah,

33
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.000
just because your dad or just cause
kids to be kids. Kids. What

34
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.319
about the drug scene, because you're
going into a different grade now kids are

35
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.479
trying what are they trying? Like
water? And you're just kind of looking

36
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.039
like, what do you mean water? It's a new drug, man,

37
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.639
Water? No, Like, what's
some of the stuff that you know kids

38
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.199
are trying? Is it cool to
do drugs? It's cool to invade weed.

39
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.240
It's not cool at all. I
try and promote it in school,

40
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.840
but they're like, no, don't
do that. Kids are going to make

41
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.360
fun of me for it. Oh
so if you if you stand up and

42
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.080
say I'm not doing drugs, that's
stupid. They go, you're stupid because

43
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.800
you don't like to get high.
Ye huh. What was it like for

44
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:22.120
us justin back all them hundreds of
years ago? About the same way.

45
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.599
But I was part of one of
those kids that would make fun of the

46
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.960
other kids. I don't know if
we ever made fun of people for not

47
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.080
drinking or using. We just were
like, well, we are more for

48
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.800
us, Like that was our com
We called them squares. Oh, I

49
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.520
don't even know, probably a few
other names. I don't think we did.

50
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.479
I don't I don't I don't think
we made fun of kids for not

51
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:54.759
doing drugs. M I'm pretty sure
we did not. Now there was actually

52
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.400
like the people who smoked, we
kind of looked down upon them, were

53
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.479
like, oh, that's girls.
And then later I did drugs and started

54
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:10.639
smoking. So but weed actually led
me to smoke cigarettes. Yeah, because

55
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.400
you hang around everyone that smokes weed, and ninety percent of people that smoke

56
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.519
weed smoke cigarettes. Well that's the
same thing with the drinking too, because

57
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:24.279
drinking. I guess the drinking was
the gateway to the weed, and then

58
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:30.959
the weed was the gateway to the
cigarettes. And then we have the blue

59
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.920
Angels flying all over Traverse City right
now. It's annoying, Like I'm going

60
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:41.720
to file a complaint with the city
because this is crazy. Like I walked

61
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.000
out earlier. I know this is
totally off topic. That's what we do

62
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.240
on the two seventeen Recovery podcast.
I had because I had to take some

63
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.199
packages back to the ups or so
I walked outside and I like got down

64
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.560
on the ground because I thought we
were getting buzzed by airplanes. Man,

65
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.839
I thought like they were going to
drop some bombs, So I jumped down

66
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.800
on the ground. You know,
I'm rolling around and I realized it was

67
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.199
just the Blue Angels, but it
was so loud, like seriously, like,

68
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:09.839
I think my hearing got damaged.
Yeah what yeah, what what I

69
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.439
see? I don't even I can't
barely hear you, you know. So

70
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.160
I'm gonna google my hearing checked and
I'll give that bill to the city along

71
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:24.639
with my lawyers lawsuits sue them.
The Cherry Festival is going on, and

72
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.560
I think it kicks off actually a
couple of days of twenty ninth. Yep.

73
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.720
We actually have info at two seventeen
recovery dot com if you're looking for

74
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:31.639
a schedule, if you're going to
be in Traverse City, if you're wanting

75
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.319
to know more about Cherry Festival,
who's coming to town. There's some bands

76
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:41.600
coming to town. TI he canceled. He's not coming to town. I

77
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.800
don't know who's bummed about that.
Probably nobody. But they're going to have

78
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:51.839
some like a Garth Brooks cover band
or something tribute band I think take his

79
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.879
place, which I think will be
probably actually better than TI. Yeah,

80
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.720
probably, so that'll be you know, some people can check out. But

81
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.800
I want to say, Brett Michaels, was that last year. He's coming

82
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.000
this year. Yeah, but I've
talked to him like many times. I

83
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.839
should call him up, like,
yo, stop on the studio, dog,

84
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.399
you should. Yeah, he'll tell
me. Now. His managers are

85
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.600
kind of rude. I could see
that, but he's he's pretty cool.

86
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.720
Who else was coming to town three
doors down? Oh? No, just

Yeah, I think it's a Saturday. And yeah, cool, it's

108
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.680
an all day adventure, Okay,
from like noon to midnight. Are you

109
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.279
gonna get some lemonade with some rushed
ice in it? It's gonna be hot.

110
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.519
Yeah, I'm gonna get meaglass.
Let's go back to that story before

111
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.360
we get back down to the kids
at school. So Justin told us last

112
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.600
year. I don't know, but
we've given him a hell about this because

113
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.839
he said that he was so mad
at you because he got to eliminate it

114
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.279
was. If you want to relive
the day, it was like one hundred

115
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.600
and forty five degrees outside one hundred
and twenty five percent humidity is just hot

116
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.839
as hell. You're thirsty, he
said. He didn't even bring you waters,

117
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.759
like you weren't even drinking waters.
You weren't even hydrated. He hands

118
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.840
you his lemonade, his lemonade,
because you don't have one, obviously,

119
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.720
otherwise you'd be drinking that. Hand
you his limonade that he's been sucking on

120
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.120
because he needed to get out his
wallet to go buy him some concert shirts.

121
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.519
So he hands it's you to hold
on to. Well, you poor

122
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.080
thing. You're thirsty, you're about
to pass out because you're so dehydrated,

123
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:58.799
and you drink his lemonade, his
forbidden lemonade, and then he sees this

124
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.519
and he's irritated, so he takes
it. And one thing, the one

125
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.679
thing that you love in the world
is that crushed ice. Especially it's got

126
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.919
a little bit of that lemonade on
it still, it's like, oh man,

127
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.559
just it's so good. It's the
one thing that you love, like

128
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.440
you don't you cancel Christmas, you
don't even care, but you want that

129
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.840
ice. So he takes it,
and he sees that you, you know,

130
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.960
because you're trying to not pass out
from heat exhaustion, drink that lemonade,

131
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.879
and he sees it and he takes
the cup and he knows that's the

132
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.759
precious thing to you, and he
just throws it right in the trash.

133
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.039
So don't tetch you. Listen,
you don't drink my lemonade. Well,

134
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.600
in fairness, I bought it for
us to share. I have him.

135
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.519
Let me mute him real quick.
Okay, So is that how it happened.

136
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:48.519
It was for us to share,
and then he took one drink out

137
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.320
of it, and then I drunk
the rest because you were dying. You

138
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.279
know, that's your body. You
weren't like, hey, I'm selfish,

139
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.720
I'm gonna drink this and screw dad
over. You were just like, I

140
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.399
need to make it another twenty minutes, and in order to do that,

141
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:05.320
I need to drink this liquid.
So that's going to hydrate me. I'm

142
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.600
sorry, I'm sorry you had to
go through that. Did you talk to

143
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.600
your therapists about it? Do you
have therapists? I used to oh,

144
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.039
man, what's she going? Rapids? Where was she at before? At

145
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.720
my school? Oh? At your
school? So a school counselor yeah,

146
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.720
kind of thing. Do you actually
talk to your school counselor about real problems,

147
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.000
or you just like make stuff up
like it's all right. Well she's

148
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.080
not really the school's counselor in general, she's from the wellness center. Okay,

149
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.159
So I would talk to her about
like real life problems and whatnot.

150
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.240
Okay, but you'd be honest,
yeah, okay, because that's the one

151
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:46.240
thing and even grown adults don't are. It's hard to be totally honest sometimes

152
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.240
And in my case being a male, if I were to talk to a

153
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.840
female like therapist, depend like,
how do you have a therapist? Susan

154
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.039
High Thanks for listening, but I
have a good relationship with her. What

155
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.039
I can be honest, But say
if it was a twenty seven year old

156
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.879
and I was single and I was
young, Like, say, I'm thirty,

157
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.039
and if there was somebody my age
who was attractive, I would not

158
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.360
tell them everything just because I'd be
afraid that they would judge me and think

159
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.399
differently of me. So for a
guy in my just speaking from my experience,

160
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.840
it was hard for me to like
kind of open up to a therapist

161
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.840
at first, until I realized like
I had to, and until I could

162
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.039
trust them going through some of the
places that I had to. You know,

163
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.840
we didn't really pick our therapist.
They were just like, you're going

164
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.679
to see this guy now. And
I heard some things you know that just

165
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.240
maybe not trust them. So that
again made me kind of shut down and

166
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.840
not open up. But I think
it's good that you can trust people.

167
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.759
And I'm sure not all therapists are
like all school counselors or you know,

168
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.679
people from the outside you can trust. But if you can build that bond

169
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.960
with someone that you can really trust, it really does help to get that

170
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.759
stuff out and they're not going to
fix your problems for you. You know,

171
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.120
they can kind of give you advice
about well how would you do that

172
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.159
different, you know, and you
can go, okay, well I would

173
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.279
ask Dad, can I drink this
before I pass out? You know,

174
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.120
like if you had to do that
different, would you do that? Because

175
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.600
you're gonna have another chance in September
it sounds like, and maybe August as

176
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.279
well, so you can like Dad
and say it with like the little puppy

177
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.240
dog eyes, Can I please haven't
eliminated for myself so that I don't pass

178
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.720
out from heat exhaustion and say it
loud enough to like other people here,

179
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.159
so that they question his like parenting
skills. They'd be like, what are

180
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.399
you doing? Like, here's a
dollar, dude, you need some money

181
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.360
to buy her something. You can
do that. That's a different way that

182
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.519
you can mess with your dad and
just be like, yeah, I'm just

183
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.039
so thirsty, Dad, Like I
haven't eaten in about two days. That's

184
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.039
wrong. And I know that you're
fasting for your religion, But why do

185
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.120
I have to too? Dad?
You should say, and there's different ways

186
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.279
in the make sure it's public,
it is out. You don't make sure

187
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.080
you're in the public. You're giving
her so many wrong ideas. Obviously,

188
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.720
these are great ideas. You've had
wonderful ideas. I think outside the box

189
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.960
sometimes, you know, not to
the regular. Wow, you're welcome justin

190
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.279
and your parent. See this is
this will be a good one for a

191
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.159
recovery of Dad's podcast too. You
about to have her back on. Yeah.

192
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.879
See, it'll be a while before
you guys have a chance at Parker

193
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.799
because we can't talk. This is
a little baby. So I got years

194
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:46.879
of doing this to you guys.
Wait till Mitch's Sun comes on. You

195
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.159
can't wait for this. It's gonna
be great. But no, you guys

196
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.399
have appointments today, both of you
at the dentist. And that's called self

197
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.759
care. You know, it's very
important to take care of yourself. Obviously,

198
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.159
when you're thirteen, about to be
fourteen, it's hard to take care

199
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.919
of yourself because you're a child,
you know, and you're like, I'm

200
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:09.960
not a child, I'm about to
be a teenage. Well you are a

201
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.799
teenager, I guess thirteen. Yeah, sorry, yeah, obviously, yeah,

202
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.639
but thanks Mitch. Yeah, thanks
thanks for calling that one out,

203
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.320
Mitch. But definitely, but no, but you're growing into that role.

204
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.399
But this is where you learn,
you know, like you have to take

205
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.639
care of yourself, you know,
going to the doctor for physicals every year

206
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.879
and all this other stuff, and
you know, going to the dentist and

207
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.519
you know, just making sure that
you're taking care of yourself because especially the

208
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.240
dentist, it'll get away from you
quick, yeah, especially if you don't

209
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.039
go. Yeah, and then you
get scared to go because you're like,

210
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.440
oh my gosh, I know there's
so much wrong and I don't have a

211
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.679
lot of money to fix it and
I can't do this, and you start

212
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.399
making up all these excuses of why
not to go. Well, meanwhile,

213
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.960
your teeth are getting worse and it's
just going to cost more and the pain's

214
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.080
going to be worse. And the
fact that your teeth, you know,

215
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.919
if you have a problem with your
teeth, like it goes right to your

216
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.919
brain, brain, heart. Yeah, so you got to take care of

217
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.639
them. And even if you think, oh, but it's going to do

218
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.679
this and this, you know,
we'll go there and find out. You

219
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:09.159
know, our dentist they have a
payment plan. You know, you can

220
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.559
even work with them. But we're
blessed by the Lord that we have pretty

221
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.360
good insurance too, so that kind
of helps with that too. But it's

222
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.919
as someone said, was it yesterday
or the day before we had the Ferrari

223
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.639
of insurance plans? I think so, but that was that was our health

224
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.279
insurance? Oh is it? Yeah? You called? You said we had

225
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.559
the Bentley. Yeah, the Bentley, the Bentley of dental insurance. Yep.

226
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.919
Because that's funny because justin call to
ask about how much this was or

227
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.039
something, and they're like, we
need to do parathorization and I'm looking at

228
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.159
you know, how much we have
to pay and what our you know,

229
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.120
percentages and stuff and I'm like,
nah, dude, we don't have to

230
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.000
pay for that at all, because
we have a toothbowl today. And she's

231
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.279
like, well, maybe we'll have
you pay a couple of hundred to do

232
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.759
this. And then da da da
da. And then you're like, well

233
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.320
hold on. You know. She's
like, oh, you've got the same

234
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.240
insurance as Corey. And you're like, yeah, I got the Bentley.

235
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.799
She's like, oh, you're good
then, you know. And it's so

236
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.240
nice to kind of have that.
I mean, it wasn't long ago we

237
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.320
were on Medicaid and yeah, when
you go to the dentist when you're on

238
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.519
Medicaid, it's not fun because I'll
just pull your shit out. Or even

239
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:18.039
if you just go to the Medicaid
dentists and I ain't gonna call the place

240
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.720
out WHOA or nothing, because they
did help me a lot when I was

241
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:30.360
first taking care of myself, you
know, in the beginning stages. But

242
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.440
you know, I just went and
seeing them. Want like two months ago,

243
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.320
I had to take a day off
work and go see him to have

244
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.720
my teeth cleaned and stuff. And
I'm like and they said, well that

245
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.399
back tooth is I'm like, I'm
still getting sensitivity out of it, and

246
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.679
they're like, oh, well,
let's just put this band aid stuff on

247
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.759
it real quick. And I was
like, why don't we just pull it

248
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.360
instead of keep messing with it.
I've never had toothpain a day in my

249
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:59.360
life, nor do I ever want
toothpain, because I hear a lot of

250
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:07.279
people cry about toothpain like it's I
guess, excruciating pain. So I just

251
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.000
don't want that pain, you know. I'd rather just have him pull it

252
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.880
out and deal with that little bit
of pain for a week to get over

253
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.519
all of it, you know.
And they were just they just want to

254
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.079
do it. And then you gave
me the numbered year dentists, and then

255
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.720
it was a game, a race
to see who could get in there first.

256
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.440
Me were Mitch, and you would
give them Mitch all the information prior

257
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.480
to me getting it. I did, if I remember right, And you're

258
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.359
like, here, here's the number. And I called him and I'm like,

259
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.359
well, I left him a voicemail, and so I called him back

260
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.240
the next day and talked to someone
and got right in. I think it

261
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.400
was like the next week after I
called, and you were like, good

262
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.799
job, you know. And while
you get your daughter in there, and

263
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.720
I'm like, all right, well, you know, I'm gonna have to

264
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.119
plan this out because I typically get
on weekends when I got time off,

265
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.799
so I gotta like plan it out
to see how I can fit that into

266
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.720
my work schedule, my personal life, you know. And You're like,

267
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.240
just get her in there, we'll
figure it out. Just get her in

268
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:21.000
there and get her teeth done and
quit messing around with all the bs places

269
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.000
that don't take care of you.
And that's what I did. We both

270
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.359
have doctor's appointments today. Dentists,
yeah, dentist appointments and other tooth doctors.

271
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.839
You know, they consider themselves doctors. So yeah, yeah, well

272
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.920
that's good. I'm proud of that
you that you're doing that. And yeah,

273
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.279
if you have insurance, this is
the thing you can look at like,

274
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.200
oh it's free. Well it's coming
out of your check man, you

275
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.599
know, Like it's not free,
like you're paying for it. Uh,

276
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.400
you might as well use it,
right, And there's a plan that we

277
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.680
have that is the best plan I've
ever seen in my life. It's unlimited.

278
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.480
And most people when they have dental
insurance, and I'm sure everybody listening

279
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.480
it might be one person. It's
like I got that too, well,

280
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.119
good for you. But it's normally
capped at like fifteen hundred, two thousand

281
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.440
dollars max. Like that's all you
can use for the year, and once

282
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.240
you're done, you're done. Ours
is unlimited, man, you know,

283
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.559
And I had some crowns done and
we don't have to pay forty percent for

284
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.039
the crowns. But you can get
more than one, you can get more

285
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:23.920
than two, you know, like
you can get as many as you want

286
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.000
because it's unlimited, which is right, like that even the dentist, like

287
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.839
I've never heard of this. I
was like, I know, when I

288
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.440
saw it, I thought, this
is amazing, Like this is how it

289
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.559
should be, Like this is probably
should have been happening ten years ago,

290
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.519
right because like you said earlier,
like your mouthcare is probably one of the

291
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.880
most important things, because like it
contributes to so many other health factors.

292
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.160
Yeah, and I know there's a
lot of people that do drugs and drink

293
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:59.240
like myself, Like myself used to
ye and that's one of the things that

294
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.599
I know, meth like that takes
your teeth right out. Yeah, yep,

295
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.279
So those are things that a lot
of people suffer with and they think,

296
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.160
oh, I'll never be able to
smile again. You know. One

297
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:17.319
of our volunteers went back and got
dentures, which made total different. Like

298
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:22.279
you could just see the spunk in
this person the way they walked around the

299
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.599
office or even in the community when
they had the dentures in. And then

300
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.200
the person lost the dentures, which
I don't know how you do that.

301
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.960
Yeah, and then the person went
and got them again. So again,

302
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.279
it just changes everything when you have
that smile, when you can smile without

303
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.960
trying to like oh I got to
hide this tooth or that tooth. I

304
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.839
said. I got some work I
still need to do. But it feels

305
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.279
good though, to be having a
nice smile, yeah, you know,

306
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.160
and to think like, oh,
well I smoked bath for ten years and

307
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.079
I don't have any teeth. There's
nothing I can do about it. I

308
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.759
know there's something that can be done. There's actually lots of different options for

309
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.400
people like that now, like you
can get the plates that just screw right

310
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.400
into your jawbone, where you could
get the removable plates, you know,

311
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.920
I mean, it's on you on
what you want to do. Where you

312
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.440
could have each little tooth screwed into
your or get dentures. Yeah, you

313
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.480
know, but there's there's an option
for you out there, and a lot

314
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.920
of people don't realize that or they're
they're they're so ashamed to go, you

315
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.920
know, and it's you gotta get
over that at some point. I would

316
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.680
have, I would hope, because
it's not going to get better. No,

317
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.799
so just just kind of remember that. And there were like these popping

318
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.119
veneers I was looking at. I'm
like, oh, maybe get those.

319
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:45.039
And that's kind of dumb too,
I mean, it's it's a band aid.

320
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.079
I guess you could say, yeah, like if you're missing a few

321
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.079
teeth up front or something, you
can get something like that, I guess.

322
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.039
But those aren't cheap either, no, you know, so you might

323
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.079
as well just go and get it
done right and actually see a real dentist.

324
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.960
You know. You see these ads
on Facebook, you know, get

325
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.960
this or get that or on YouTube
whatever. Just go see a professional,

326
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.680
you know, and even if you
are a medicaid, there's there's still options,

327
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.240
you know, So don't don't think
like, oh, my teeth are

328
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.480
so so bad, I can't see
a dentist. No, that's when you

329
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.160
need to go see a dentists.
Yeah, and at least develop some kind

330
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.680
of plan. And when you go
see thes that first time, they're not

331
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.279
going to fix your stuff anyway.
They're gonna check you out. They're gonna

332
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:30.880
X ray you, they're gonna investigate
yep, do a little investigation and probably

333
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.799
make several appointments after that. Yeah, and just stick with it, like

334
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:41.400
you'll be way better off. Yeah, and Justine, like, you're gonna

335
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.359
go today and they're gonna check you
out and do the whole X rays and

336
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.480
all that, and I'm sure you're
probably pretty excited about it. I most

337
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.359
and you know, just to think, oh wow, like that's cool.

338
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.039
I'm gonna, you know, get
some stuff done and get some stuff fixed,

339
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.200
and it's it's cool. And you'll
start the new school year with a

340
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.200
brand new smile and all the boys
will be like, what's up, girl,

341
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.920
you want to go vape some weed
around the corner. I'll kiss you

342
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.519
now, I'll make out with you. Yeah, Justin said, you've been

343
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.799
making out with boys before, don't
be shy and bashful. Now She's like

344
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.039
got her hand on her head,
like, oh my gosh, I can't

345
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:29.319
believe I'm in this podcast talking about
this if I remember right back in February,

346
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.160
she told me it was a me
problem, and the problem whoa I

347
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.119
made her say that because your father
said he didn't like you making out with

348
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.119
the boys. And you're like,
well, that's a you problem. What

349
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:48.839
made you say that? This is
this is family talk with your seventeen recovery.

350
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:56.920
It'd be a horrible therapist. She's
all embarrassed now, yeah, typical

351
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:02.559
thirteen year old girl stuff. Well
the reason why I did that was because

352
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:11.640
I was mad. He's my voice
changer now. But it will feel good

353
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.880
to go back to school though,
you know, and have kind of a

354
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:18.200
new smile. And I don't know, I think you like it and you'll

355
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:19.079
kind of learn the importance. And
this is a good thing, you know,

356
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.680
at a young age, to learn
the importance of self care. So

357
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:29.119
good parenting there, bad parenting with
the lemonade, good parenting here. I

358
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:34.640
don't think it's really like that.
But she makes she's like you, she

359
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:41.720
makes everything so much bigger than what
it is. She blows stuff out of

360
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:48.400
what you talking about. What you're
talking about, it's insane. I've ever

361
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.839
heard anything so silly out of your
mouth. And that's saying a lot justin

362
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.000
dang anyway, I don't want to
keep you. I know you got an

363
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.119
appointment to get to. But I
figured we would do a quick podcast and

364
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.920
just kind of check in and talk
a little bit about self care. And

365
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.799
I think that was a good podcast
for the youth and good podcasts for people

366
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.880
to who were thinking about that dental
work that they've been putting off, because

367
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.359
there's a lot of people that do
it. Yeah, don't put it off.

368
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.519
You're just gonna cause yourself pain.
And I don't ever want to experience

369
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.799
that pain. And even if you
call the dentists, they're like, we

370
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.079
can get you in in November.
Take it, yep, take it.

371
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:36.279
A lot of places are still beyond
booked out. And at first they blamed

372
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.559
it on COVID, but that's been
over now for a year year and a

373
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:48.480
half, and like there's still extremely
booked out. Maybe you should be a

374
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:55.799
dentist when you grow up. No, what do you want to be when

375
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.000
you grow up? With I don't
really know, you're supposed to know.

376
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:04.680
You're thirteen. I to therapists,
hmm, if they start paying them more,

377
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.039
the therapists should make more money.
If they really shouldn't when I'm president

378
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.480
or actually they'll start with governor.
When I'm governor, I'll make that thing.

379
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.240
All the therapists in the world will
move to Michigan and we'll have just

380
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:27.000
level headed people. Awesome, no
more road rage, no more depression.

381
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.400
Needs to call me his road rage
right there. I don't have roads raging,

382
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:40.240
really, I just call people out
like how they drive. I just

383
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.359
use words. It's not like I
give them the cory of every person I

384
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.400
pass. Not every person, but
no, but yes, you can give

385
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.839
them the quarry. Yeah. Yeah, it's been crazy with the cherry festival

386
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.640
and like the old people coming back
like yesterday, asked where I was,

387
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.319
like, Man, I am flying, I'm going ten miles faster than everybody

388
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:00.960
in ten miles an hour. I
look down, I'm doing forty five.

389
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.480
I'm doing the speed limit, which
is rare. Isn't that sad? And

390
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.160
these people are going twenty five miles
an hour and forty five just pet some

391
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.680
themlong yep. Now I pull into
the mall parking lot where I'm going the

392
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.319
speed limit twenty or whatever it is. These old fools are flying around,

393
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.359
man, like thirty five miles an
hour. I was like, now,

394
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:26.079
here is where you need to slow
the f down because estrians everywhere, yeah,

395
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.440
and cars pulling in and out like, that's where you gotta be careful.

396
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.000
Like out on the road where it's
just one way traffic. What's hard

397
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.079
about that? I don't know.
I need to teach drivers and to old

398
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.319
people. We should look into teaching
when i'm governor, Trust me, the

399
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.839
roads will be safer. And see
that's that'll cut down on road road raid

400
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.000
right there. So I'll kind of
do my therapy worked, and so did

401
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:55.839
my driver's dead for people over seventy
over seventy I was gonna say sixty five.

402
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:03.359
I'll probably sixty fives out there.
Perfect to teach it, I guess

403
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.359
right now. But thanks for coming
in, guys, I appreciate it,

404

right later. Thanks for listening to the
