we supposed to finish that sentence or something? It is the sixteenth, oh,
July twenty three. My name is Cory Winfield. My name's Marnie win
Mary. What's up? Welcome back, Marty. Don't you hate it when
people call you that? I'm kind. It doesn't bother me. By watch
I don't ever correct anybody. Really, Hey, they when people call you
that, it's not her stupid name, not that your name is stupid.
I'm just saying like, that's not her name. Her name's not Marty,
it's Marnie. And you're back. So I'm excited. Heavy on the podcast
today. Good need to be here. Yeah, it's you know, you're
just kind of hanging out anyway, so you're like, let's go to a
podcast. I did. I said that. I was like, it's five
thirty, I'm about to go sleep. I'm a little up more for twelve
hours today doing work cleaning floors. It was it was like spring cleaning in
the summer. Yeah, kind of did. But it's been like a long
time since I've had just a couple of days where I've just been here.
Yes, And I was just like, man, I need to get back
to doing the things I needed to do. I need to start spend it
some time, like pick them up after myself. You know. I cleaned
out the office, sort of put things away. I mean it looks way
different. It looks a lot better. I can see it across my desk.
I was like, man, it looks so weird that I can see
the printer and the light over there, and the printer doesn't have a mountain
of stuff on it. No. Yeah, I took that away too.
Yeah you made progress. That's good. Thanks. The floors in your bathroom,
my bathroom, the kitchen, it just feels so much better. Yeah.
No, Sometimes you're you'll be sitting there, laying there or whatever and
you're saying, I don't feel like doing that. Just do it. You
gotta push through it, man, just like recovery. Yea, yeah,
it might not be the stuff you want to do today. Oh it'd be
fun to go on the boat and drink and you know, smoke some weed
or whatever what it, because you know how that's gonna end. It's not
gonna end well for you if you have a problem with it. There's a
bugging here and apparently I smell so good that this fruit fly is like up
in my face. Like I don't know what's going on in the brain of
a fruit fly or if they even have brains. But he doesn't want to
live very long, like maybe since I cleaned, I took his food away,
and he's like, well, if you're going to starve me to death,
just smack me and kill me. There was nothing in here, Yeah
there's oh you mean for him to eat? Yeah? Yeah, no,
you them prooflies are sneaky, man. They'll eat paint or something. I
don't know. Maybe they do, Maybe they eat electrical stuff from inside the
TV. I don't know. Again, I don't even know if they have
brains. Probably probably not. They probably have just some like nervous system,
right, I don't know. I don't know. They Well, I'm want
to end it. If I see this guy in my face again, I
know you're really angry about it. Yeah, Well, I'm mad because I'm
I missed them twice. Do you want to pause and and go on a
mission? Nope. But if you hear something there where there I can't see.
I have this thing when I look in my oh, I see him
a little bit in my eye, Like there's like this thing. And I
think I asked a cigarette in my eye one time. I do believe that,
and like ever since then, I have like this dark spot though if
I look up or look life that I see it. I'm trying to see
a little bastard. I saw him coming this way. This is entertaining,
apparently. I hope you guys like this. This is a professional podcast.
This is support us. No, But so anyway, if you hear me
clapping or smacking, or you hear Marnie, that's what it is. We're
trying to end this guy's quest for whatever he's trying to do in life.
I just don't like those things. Man. Ever tell you this. I
think I did tell you the story about the time when I was living in
Buchanan and I couldn't figure out why I had all these fruit flies. Yeah,
and I was like the hell And I went to an AA meeting and
I was like man, you people hearing Buchan and I don't understand how you
deal with these fruit flies? Are like, well, what do you mean
you know? And I was like, they don't really talk like that,
but I was like, I have them everywhere. Man. I was like,
I clean up my whole place, and like, I have these little
dishes of what was that the apple cid or vinegar, and put a little
soap in there, my mom told me. And I even went on Amazon
bought those little devices they look like little apples that are supposed to trap them
in, and I was trapping millions of them every day and I still had
forty million of them still flying around. I thought, this is insane.
And the guy's like, well, you got food in there somewhere, and
I was like, what do you mean you got food in there somewhere?
He's like, go through every drawer in your place, you know, And
I did, and I looked under the sink, and I think when a
right, when I moved in, I bought some potatoes, a sack of
potatoes, and I threw them in there, and yeah, I don't even
want to I don't even want to picture what that smelled or looked like.
Yeah, it wasn't pretty surprised you couldn't like smell that like a few weeks
prior to that moment, I don't know, just composting. Well, see,
that's the thing about potatoes, they don't smell. I'd had to disagree
with you on that one. Go ahead, throw a sack of potatoes in
a cupboard and just leave them there. No, I just forget about tell
me because maybe it's just a smell that is gradual. So you know,
it's like cats, Like we probably don't smell our cats on us, but
if we go places, people smell our cats on us. Like people smoking
weed. You know, you go to the store and you're like, oh,
okay, that dude just smoke down some weed. But for him,
he's like, oh, I don't even smell it. Maybe like when we
were drinking, oh just you know, here, hell have a mint or
some gum don't work. Remember that myth of vodka You can't smell vodka on
your breath, bro, Yeah, that's not even close to being true.
I remember that though, thinking, oh okay, I'm tricking. Everybody can't
smell vodka. Oh so stupid, Yeah you can. It's alcohol. And
we watched a show a couple weeks ago on what alcohol does to the body
is very interesting. And if you think, oh, it's on my breath
because it's in my mouth, yeah, maybe, but more it more has
to do with alcohol getting absorbed into your lungs. Well, yeah, that's
true, but it sounds weird when you say it like that. It's more
so that it's because it goes to your blood in your bloodstream is obviously sending
it everywhere, sends it everywhere. And then because your lungs are so like
there's so many tiny blood vessels in your lungs. Um. Then when the
air when you breathe in and out, then that air that's your blood.
You know, your blood has the alcohol in it and it's like absorbing that
that alfanol and you know, but it's vodka, so it doesn't you can't
smell it on the breath. It's not yet when you're smelling. They didn't
have internet back then, Yeah, you couldn't just pull it up. How
do we survive? How are we alive? I have no idea, But
after that I was questioning that very much. So yeah, I was like,
how am I still functioning? Yeah? Oh, after the video the
video and what it does to all the organs it was going through and you're
like wow, like yeah, that's crazy and wollow um when it hits your
kidneys and how like when you start peeing a lot and it turns into like
I'm most clear looking, like it's I'm just peeling the water out. Like
in my mind when I was doing that, I was like, oh,
my body's filtrated all loose stuff out. Now it's just the liquid that's leaving.
Like we got the alcohol in through the bloodstream. Now the rest of
the just the stupid beer or whatever I was drinking, just getting it out.
But that's not how that works either. It's actually your body's pulling the
water that you have in your body and getting rid of that, which is
when you hydrate you. Yep, very interesting. I should share that video.
You shouldn't. I remember where it was at. We can find it,
I think, yeah, it's on YouTube. I think that's where we
watched it. It's a little bit cheesy. No, yes, it is
a little cheesy, but I think that the thing that took me a minute
to get over is they actually are using like cadavers. Oh yeah, yeah,
a real human body and so that's something that is that's bothers some of
the people you know, But if you get past that, it's really you
know, yeah, because we got a lot of information because I got on
that because we were at pf Changs and she's shaking her head no because she
doesn't wanted to tell the story if I'm going to anyway, because it's funny,
and I decided I had a question, where does sperm come from?
I don't know, Yeah, how did you find that funny? But it
was it was a question I had, so right there at in the restaurant
piff Changs, I'm pulling it up planning a YouTube video, and this is
how he entertains himself during our well, we were trying to make baby and
stuff, and so I got to watch, you know what happens when the
sperm, you know, and the eggs they meet, and then that's pretty
cool and it's crazy again, crazy that we're even alive, like all the
stuff that has to happen is just amazing. And then I thought, I
don't don't even know where I'm the sperms come from. So I mean,
I know where it comes from, but like I don't know where how it's
made, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, so we're in
PF chains and I'm like, hey, watch this video and then that video
that I found because there were some ones that had like some like I don't
know, cartoon animation stuff, which was cool, I guess, But then
I saw the one where he's like cutting the testicle and it's like here,
let's cut it open, and I'm like, the fuck do you just do?
Honey? Look at this? And then like after that it was like
what it was alcohol due to the body because it was the same people doing
it, you know, with the same bodies that they're using, well not
the same body, but right donated bodies. That's pretty cool though, But
yeah, I'll maybe I'll post it or maybe you can just look it up
on your own. How about that and you just look it up on your
own, well, you can google it whatever. He's referring to the alcohol
in the body one. Yeah, and the other one too, if you're
interested. It's pretty nuts. Damn. I felt them on me, but
I didn't get it. We put together like we, I mean, me
and the guy has helped Jeremy Justin went with and Mitch went made a video
to promote the disc golf event that's coming up this weekend. It's that the
Hills play Hickory Hills in Traverse City. And at first, because I had
never been disc golfing, I'll tell you that, and he said to say,
Hickory Hills. I drove out there with the drone the other day because
I was gonna get some footage because I thought, yeah, I'll need footage
to make this promo. And I thought, man, what in the hell
do we get ourselves into because it's like this old ski resort and I just
see this big ass hill and I'm like, nobody's walking up that hill throwing
a frisbee. I was like, that's nobody's doing that like that, that's
this is a horrible idea. I couldn't find any of the holes or nothing.
Then I'm like pissed. I told you. I was like, oh,
what are we going? Rah? And I looked it up online and
actually had pictures of it makes a lot more sense and probably more fun than
just walking up a hill. Is like there's trees and stuff, and there's
like paths and you kind of just kind of angle them and throw them behind
trees and around trees something that could be fun, and I thought, okay,
okay, I'll come down. Yeah, it's all Jeremy. I was
like, I think about my period or something today. Man, Because I
was asking him, I'm like, you've been out there. This is horrible.
But no, it's gonna be pretty fun. It'll be pretty cool.
Hopefully it doesn't rain. I just hope it's not a hundred degrees. Well,
we're gonna do a podcast live from there, and we're gonna have games
and stuff, refreshments and we're gonna have some water. But the video I
made and I was reading the script to you that I wrote, I was
like, I'll write the script and I'll voice it and put it together.
And I'm like hey, and you're like no, You're like, I want
to take your fun. I want to put it in a box and I
want to jump on it, squish it to death. That's the look you
gave me when I was reading it too. You're like now, and then
you just walked out. I was like, well, she didn't say no.
I did not say no. You're your own man, and you can
you can come up with number almost stuff that you want. Some I like
better than others. I will say that, but you know, you have
your own sense of humor and I'm used to it. I just think it's
probably some of the world is not ready. Oh they've been ready. I
should play it. I know people won't be able to actually see it,
but you'll be able to hear the audio from it. You'll, I think,
get it just and if you want to see it, I know I've
shared it on Facebook and stuff, so well, I will prepare and see.
Here's the thing. If people are regular listeners, they already know your
sense of humor, so it won't be surprising with yourself. Okay, Well,
I think I just gave it away a little bit. All right,
here we go this summer. Don't just hang out on the beach playing with
yourself now when there are so many others that would love to play with you.
That sounds like fun and you're in luck. Come out to the first

very witty, honey. I get that's for sure. They don't even let
me walk around barefoot. I don't think they'll let you come and play with
me. What No way, that was the swear one. I love that.
Yeah, bye bye, Mitchell. M So I want to do some
shout outs today. Okay, I want to shout out to my mama.
And I think she's getting a little annoyed with me. Yeah. Yeah.
She keeps texting me questions, who's that, Who's this, Who's that?
Who's that? And because we had the videos from the Traverse City Cherry Festival
that we were at in the EPs tent, the pig eating contest, pancakes
stuff, and and she's like, who's that is that? Mitchell? And
it's like I'm like, mom, they're on the website, you know,
go check out the website. And she gets the app and the website confused.
So she's like, they're not on the website, and I'm like,
yeah they are. What is that Mitchell. I'm like, I'll answer her
and then she'll still like is that him? And then I'll do it in
a She'll ask like five questions. I'm like, yes, no, maybe,
not sure, question mark maybe you know. I'll answer her like that,
you know, so I'm like, Okay, well you can just maybe
decipher that. I don't know. But I don't know. I've just been
so busy lately. It's like when I do get a minute, it's I'm
like ready to go out and fall asleep or something, you know. And
I don't know. I needed to be more mindful that other people are interested
in me, because there was a time when they weren't right. And she
just wants to know a simple question, you know. And I don't know
if it's this testosterone stuff up. I'm on, I'm not sure, but
I've been cranky a lot lately. And it's not steroid or anything. It's
something by with the counter and had some stuff in it, eats fat or
something. I got a lot of fat so I was like, maybe this
will hope. But anyway, I don't know. I've just been like real
short with her and just like yep, nope, yep, yep, nope.
I'm mindful of it, you know, at least I know I'm doing
it so that I can correct it. Now she's gonna blow my phone up
just to piss me off, all right, Corey. And now she's like,
oh, you said that, But yeah, I shout out to my
mom anyway, Hello, I think that's good. I think you're acknowledging that
you're kind of short fused right now. I will vouge to that. So,
you know, And it has been a stressful time, you know,
in our house and a lot going on. But you know, I'm wrapping
up my school still almost so close, so close, you know, and
we had all of that Cherry Festival was craziness being pulled in all kinds of
different directions. I'm still working, you know, and my internship is still
going on, and so there's all kinds of stuff that's happening still. And
then there's stuff that I don't really want to share, but and maybe I
will. I will one day. There's an episode I did almost six months
ago, called six months from now. Listen to that you might get it
an understanding of what I'm talking about, but just kind of going through that
stuff again, you know, And as I said, I don't really want
to get into a bit like that stressing me out, and it's just a
lot, you know, But the fact that I can catch myself in these
moments and realize, you know, if I'm being a jerk or something,
I can just be like, okay, like what's for going on? Man,
Like, don't take this on to everybody else because it's not fair.
And like I said, there was a time when no one gives a shit
about me, and now like people are interested in me, and I just
I'm like, nope, too busy, Sorry, too busy, Sorry,
too busy? Right, yeah, I don't know that pause brought to you
by a Power Raide zero grape. Thank you, Go get you one today.
Don't play with yourself at the beach, play with others. And the
disc golf event on the twenty second. I think it'd be fun. I'm
just gonna start saying like stuff like that, and then I'm just gonna say
it's brought to you by stuff until they pay me to stop saying it.
It's like reverse advertising. We could do the Play with Yourself event brought to
you by Power Raid. I think they would just sue me. See synesist.
We did not syndesist. No, it's freedom of speech. Man,
see you in court. So I'll tell him I showed with Tyrone. He's
like, he's not my lawyer, but he's easier for support. Life could
be so much interesting, so much more interesting if actually did some of the
things I think of. But then I don't know. Just rambling at this
point, just to tell me I was very good at rambling, so you
are very good at rambling. No, this guy the other day, I
want to talk about this real quick and then we can do other stuff.
Or if you have something, you can jump in anytime. But it was
on the old Facebook. I saw, I think the news people or something
put something out there saying that where the homeless people stay, the city's gonna
ban Alcoho Hall in Traverse City. Yeah, and that our Human Rights Commission.
I was like a couple weeks ago there was a gentleman that came in.
His name is Ryan, and he talked about the the use of math
and phetamine and how sex trafficking in Traverse City is bigger than what people think,
and he was bringing that to the attention and I, during my time
to speak at the end, I thanked him, and you know, I
said, well, hopefully you know what you say today can be heard by
others. And so I don't know, I mean, if that had anything
to do with it, because he was talking about the homeless population there too,
and not just a homeless population, because there's other people that are using
you know, kids even you know, to to do the sex trafficking stuff.
And I don't know, it was just something that needed to be brought
to light. So and then on top of that, now so this comes
down, it's like, okay, well were they listening a little bit?
You know, because like all of our notes and everything that we have,
you know, kind of goes to the other commissions, and like when people
bring stuff up to us that the Human Rights Commission, it's not like we're
not going to debate you, we're not going to really talk about it,
but it's it's that you bring it up to us so that we can you
know, talk about it back to you. But other people read that stuff,
you know, in the city and stuff. So I don't know.
I think that banning alcohol is just a way to kind of be I don't
know, cute about it, like hey, if you take your windows,
we're gonna pull you over and then take you to jail, kind of profiling
kind of thing. And one gentleman posted on Facebook. He said, well,
this is just the city's way of saying the jails to get the jails
even fuller so that they can say there's no room in the jail to keep
people so that they can build a new one, and blah blah blah blah
blah. I don't know. I don't know enough about the jail or that
system or what's going on there. If that's the real case of why they're
doing it, I don't think that's why they're doing it. So banning out
alcohol meaning that there would be what like a ticket a ticket or you would
be taken to jail, I would assume. Again, I don't know the
rules. I don't think they've actually done again. I think they were just
thinking about it. But the problem I have and I don't know, I
think the news people just did it to do it. I don't I don't
even know which one it was I can't remember, but it does start a
conversation. But the problem with today's conversation is that happens on Facebook and people
are just like that stupid I hate it. Yeah, And it gets really
irritating because anybody that says anything that is not agreeing with the other person or
their appony view is pretty much just told to shut up. And well,
and the other thing too is there's so there may be very well a ton
of good people with a ton of good input or feedback or thoughts about it
that to make like a productive conversation and around the topic, but it's so
infiltrated by like bs and like people making jokes and yeah, and people just
getting nasty about it or going over the top or undermining what's being said.
Basically all of it's just watered down and there's no like conversation between like I
don't want to say intelligible people, but like, you know, I love
social media, and I'm not saying things can't be productive on social media.
I'm just saying it's not a good platform to have like productive conversations that are
actually going to be that are going to hold any water. You get what
I'm saying, yes, Fastard exactly, I get what you're saying, and
that's that's true. And sometimes you have to get off your couch and actually
go to a meeting with somebody and actually say something. And there are people
out there that probably have an idea of what to do and how to fix
the situation. One guy was like, hey, I think his name is
after Jim or Mike, I don't know home and he's like, hey,
Bill, Bob, how about we go out there and we help these people
and we get them help and we put them in rehab. And then me
seeing that going okay, well, I don't know every single person out there.
I know some of them by some of them, I mean some of
the people in the homeless population or a houseless or whatever they call themselves.
But some of them are content, like they're like, hey man, this
is a life I want to live. Absolutely, I'm a nomad. You
know, I've spoken to several people. You have to oh yeah. They're
like, I have no desire to live in a house anywhere. I don't
want to have a place that is I don't need a place that's my home.
But you sleep in a tent And they're like everywhere is my home.
You know, they're cool with it. And I don't know if some of
the transience or whatever mental illness goes into that, because everywhere we all got
mental problems. We all have something. Every single person in the world has
something other. Some people just know how to kind of adapt a little bit
better, they know how to handle the situations. But it just seems like
some of the things I'm hearing out there, it's just like, Okay,
well, I think that's you know, the mental mental health problem going on,
you know, and and yeah, but that that kept me stuck forever.
I almost died, and it still took me three four years or whatever
to to pull it all together. Three years before I could say, hey,
I'm not drinking ever again. It just died, like it has control
of your brain. So I get that, you know, But sending them
to rehab when they don't want it, you're taking beds from people who actually
want to do go in there and get clean and being recovery and little sober.
So I don't think just sending them all to rehab, that's like,
that's the same as saying saying send them to jail. It's just medicates paying
for it so at the end of the day, because they're like, well
some of the jail our tax markers paying for I'm like, wow, another
piece too to think about. Although in theory I see what Jeff, Jim,
Bob, Mike Joe was saying. It's that it takes a lot of
resources to get somebody into treatment, and if it's just gonna if it's gonna
be like a forced thing that which means I mean, you can't force somebody
to stay in treatment, right. So if if what he's saying is to
actually send them to or sign them up for or whatever as a repercussion of
having alcohol, that's a lot of work for somebody. He probably is not
going to stick out the entire duration of the treatment time. No, unless
there was a special treatment because I just built man that used a lot of
money to do it too, or a building, a youth detention center or
something like that. Yeah, it's gonna hold up to like thirty kids or
twenty kids something like that. I'm like, oh, great, that's cool,
that's what they need, and like the kids up, good job.
But if there was something like that that, it was like, look,
you can't live on the street anymore. You know, you've got a problem,
You're gonna go here. You can't leave. It's like jail, but
it's rehab and you keep him there for a year. Some people like,
yeah, who's paying for that? Again? You know which problem do you
want to have here? And you can't leave you? Nope, you were
sighted with this and the consequence to that is to go here. But for
having alcohol, no, or just being no, but like being in the
situation where they're not helping themselves, you know, And that's something that we
could talk about in another podcast, but we probably should. Maybe I should
have Ryan Hannah on or whoever, because I would love to talk to him
about that, because it's hard to help someone who doesn't want to help themselves,
right, you know, if you if you don't want to help yourself,
it's next to impossible. Actually yeah, And to me, I see
a lot of that going on. And that's when people start and saying,
oh, they're just getting handouts, Well, yeah kind of are And why
would they change? Why? Why would they, like you said earlier,
you know, the guys saying well I don't want get a job, then
I don't want to get a house, and yeah, why why would why
do they need to. They don't. They can live how would they want.
They can drink wherever they want, they can use whatever drugs they want.
You know. That's the one thing that did kind of crack me about
the alcohol thing. It's like, okay, well they're gonna do something about
the meth and the sex trafficking, like okay, you know, but again
it's a way to like get somebody and get get control of them, maybe
give them a mental health assessment. Like I don't know these things. I
don't know if that's the plan. They were just throwing it out there,
like hey, you know, we're going to ban alcohol, but I would
like to hear like where they think that's gonna go or what what outcome they're
they're wanting from that. And you when you say that, just to clarify,
you met they're saying band alcohol hall in the areas that have been primarily
been known for and used for people that are homeless. Yeah okay, yeah,
yeah, so there's some stuff. But I invited a guy the Jeff,
Mike, Jim Yea, all of them whatever, to you know,
have a conversation, you know, like come up to the office and so
now don't talk about it with me because I try to explain to him and
there and then the other guy's like, so you just think we should just
let this stuff go on? And I was like, no, you know,
clearly I don't think that. But it's gonna take more than just two
people to come up with an idea that's going to work and help people,
because not everybody out there wants to be living out there, right, you
know, and there are people out there that prey on people out there,
So there's there's a ton of different situations. I guess you could say that
are going I'm out there that you know probably should be addressed, and do
you do them one at a time? Like how do you do it?
Like it feels up to me and someone's like, hey, we need to
solve this right now, you got ten sing it's give me an idea.
I say, take all the women out of there. The minimill follow trust
me, you know, you take the women out of there, then just
give it a couple weeks and see because a lot of drugs won't be coming
in because like there's a lot of people using the women to do the sex
stuff so that they get the money, they buy more drugs, they supply
more people, they buy more drugs. They you know, it's just a
endless thing. But you take the women out there. I mean, I'm
sure there's some dudes that are like, yeah, whatever, but I think
it'd be there needs to be a solution talked about though, Yeah, and
not just on Facebook of people yelling shit, you know, like a real
conversation that you can take to the city and say, look, this is
this is what I got. They have meetings, everybody's welcome to them,
you know, like that's the stuff if we need to do, like stop
doing this Facebook crap. If you want to go on there and say something
you know I did with two seventeen recovery or whatever, but like back it
up with some intelligent shit, you know, like come together, let's meet,
you know. Like Morse was like, okay, yeah, well obviously
we don't have the answer yet, we meaning being the world right, So
like, do you have an idea? Like we would love to hear it,
not we being you and me, Like somebody needs to come up with
these ideas to present, to come up with alternatives and solutions, and you
know, because what's going on right now is not good and the homeless coalition
or the housing people, whoever it is, they have the whole thing.
They're like, we're gonna end homelessness about twenty twenty eight. I've talked about
that on the podcast before, and I'm like, that's funny. Not that
it's funny, but I mean, I just, I just I'm not saying
that happening. No, you know, you're giving yourself five years to collect
a bunch of money. Okay, that's cool. Good idea. And because
the world world is what the world is is, don't talk about things that
are completely irrational. That's not going to ever happen every Drugs are always going
to be problematic for people. There are people that will die from drugs and
alcohol today, tomorrow, and every day till eternity. It's the sad,
sad truth. It's about figuring out how to lessen it and how to give
people the option to get better and direct them towards recovery. Yeah, because
when people start using, they don't look like they do when a year later,
they don't think like they do a year later, like it's your son,
it's your daughter, the one that you know, the one that you
love. After a year of using, that's a different person, and you
just take a picture of when they're in high school and then if you know
somebody's using and then just kind of look at them now on Facebook or whatever,
and you'd be like, okay, totally too different. Totally people.
That's because the drugs did that. You know, they didn't when they use
the first time, they weren't like, well this is where I'm going to
end up. Yeah, no, it changes everything. Ye And that's what
we need to do, or that's what we need to preach to people.
I think, in my opinion as a professional radio broadcaster, is just that
it's okay to get help, you know, and there are more and more
people reaching out for help, which is great, but we just can't fail
and when they do right, you know, we can't be like, Okay,
you want to go to treatment, Well we'll get you down in two
months. Yeah. I mean sometimes it has to be that way. But
you know there's places because Michigan works with Ohio, and when the facilities in
Michigan are full, sometimes they'll tell you, well you gotta wait three weeks.
Ask if you're on Medicaid, ask can I be sent to Ohio?
Because Michigan does work with Ohio, And it depend depending on your PIHP.
You know, there's so many different factors. And when I say depending on
your PIHP, it's depending on if they feel like doing that or not.
But yeah, Michigan does work with Ohio and there's treatment centers that you can
go to over there that probably don't have a weight. So those are just
little tricks. I didn't know that. And if they tell you that,
no, you heard wrong, um do some ask to talk to their boss
and then call me. Hit me up, hit Mitchell up two three one
four two one nineteen oh three. Yeah, I hit him up. But
yeah, I'm glad I talked about that because I didn't want to talk about
something like important. Hey, besides that, Nat, besides fruities. Yeah
he's still alive. Yeah, but do the potato thing if you want.
I wouldn't advise it. Don't do it. If there's somebody you don't like,
though, hide potatoes. Yeah, that's so terrible, that's awful.
It is horrible. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do it.
But thanks for listening, Marnie, thanks for coming by the studio today.
Yeah, you're welcome. Yeah, I like the studio none of the
office is clean again. Yeah, and hopefully pretty soon my schedule will lighten
up a little bit so I'll be able to join more podcasts. Good.
We always have the studio at the office to the North studio, so,
like, I don't know, sometimes those episodes scare me. Yeah, that
one we did. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing a disservice by not being
there to like referee it to some extent. And then people like, did
you hear the podcast? I'm like, oh lord, what, No,
I haven't. Why why do you ask? So no, But it is.
I mean they're fun, like you guys have fun and it's definitely entertaining.
What no, way, yeah, way. Yeah. We did one
the other day and Martie hadn't been on for a minute, and so I
was like, here, honey, listen to these. And the one was
It's a Little Kim hot Dog, Raw Little Kim, Raw Little Kim hot
Dog or no, raw Little Kim Dog or something, and you're rolling your
eyes and Adam Nuth was on that one, and you're like, it's just
filthy. The whole thing was just And then I did the one with Mitch
and Justin and you were just like, oh, what Noah. I was
just like, is this going somewhere any time soon? Yeah? I was
like, that's why I need you on there, honey. I was like,
people miss you. I'm sure. No, I mean, I'm I'm
as guilty as anybody is going off on ran. It's about funk because it
is fun to talk about random things, you know. I think it's you
know, because it's what we do. Know, Like, we're not living
life of addiction. We're doing other stuff, so there's like more things to
talk about beyond Little Kim and Wieners. That's what's up. You know what
I'm saying. There could be a drop for your eithera babe, I don't
even know Little Kim and Wieners. I think we talked about racism and that
one too. I don't think you made it to the end of it.
I probably did it and you didn't make it to the other one. I
did with Adam, but that was the Little Kim one. Yeah. Yeah,
we didn't have about racism in that one. We talked about a quality
with human and dogs. But go listen, I'm not going to rehash that
brilliant stuff that I came up with the other day. Thank you so listen
to those ones. And if you're looking for something like doctor like stuff to
talk about, like oh I want to hear about this and that, and
it's going to help my kid or help me. Um, probably not those
episodes, right, And we're not doctors either by the way, or therapist.
Well you are, but I'm not. I'm not a doctor, not
yet. I'm not ever gonna go to me. I'm not getting my doctor,
never say never. So they told me, Okay, I don't foresee
a doctor in my future. I'm fine with just a ms W. But
no, I want to say that despite me making jokes about your the silliness
of your podcast, they are super funny. You just have to there's just
some I'm sure there's some people. I'm just like, oh my god,
I hope this is not like offending people right now. That's all. So
you can't think like that. I know I can't, but sometimes it's just
so much that I can't not think that. Just like please headphone, You're
just like, you know, it's like earmuffs, earmuffs. I'm fun and
recovery, you know, I'm just some guys laughing. And we needed that
too that day because everybody was kind of stressed out, and just Mitchell was
laughing his ass off. Justin was laughing, I was laughing. I mean,
you need to laugh every once in a while. If you can't just
sit around with a couple of friends and just talk crap, just make each
their laugh. Yeah, And that's what it's about, really is. And
some people can be offended. I don't know. I'm sure they are,
but there's nothing I can do about that. That's how they feel, no,
I know, And like you're coming from a really good place in your
heart. That's why you do this. So and people who know you know
that for though. Yeah, but thanks, And I want to shout out
since we're doing shout outs, I did my mom. I didn't do my
mom. I did a shout out to my mom obviously, and I wanted
