It's the two seventeen Recovery Podcast with
Corey Winfield. That's like saying, well,

2
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.480
I shouldn't get a seat belt ticket
because when I took driver's head,

3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.519
there was no seat belts to put
on. Winfield bring you like a professional

4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:26.039
student. It depends to you.
Acts. It's the seventeenth of November,

5
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.719
the twenty twenty three, coming from
the North Studio. My name is Corey

6
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:35.520
Winfield, and this is the two
to seventeen Recovery podcast. Joining me in

7
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.960
the studio once again for a fabulous
Friday is Justin Burke. Justin How are

8
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.439
you today? Fabulous? Excellent.
We had lunch together that was fabulous.

9
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.640
What was the name of that place, Dre Locos Tacos. It's kind of

10
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.759
a new place in Traverse City.
Yeah. It took the place of Dicky's

11
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.159
Barbecue, which I was a big
fan of. Yeah. But the taco

12
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.280
place Mouie Bueno. Yeah, very
good. He's very good for people who

13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.400
understand Spanish. I didn't take Spanish
in school, but I've eaten that places,

14
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.200
so that makes me a little bit
fluent in Espaniel. Let's hear more

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.719
of it. Chocolate brownie, that's
what I got for dessert. I got

16
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:27.239
my Mia more No, that's not
even I got my wife chocolate brownie and

17
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.560
the case of Delia, case a
Delia, So there you go. Yeah,

18
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.439
the case of deal was the bomb. Yeah. It was really good

19
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.519
food. It was. It was
a little on the not cheap side,

20
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.280
but hey, you get what you
pay for, right, quality food.

21
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.280
Yeah it was it. No Taco
Bell, No, they're not have a

22
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.319
dollar menu there, No, but
it was delicious. It was good and

23
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:53.239
we probably will will go back.
And we got free tacos. Now people

24
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.959
are thinking that we're saying it's good
because we got free tacos, but you

25
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.359
never know, maybe that was in
their plan, right, No they so

26
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:06.959
I think they just opened or something
and somehow something got kind of misconscrewed of

27
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.680
what I ordered because I ordered a
brito and then here comes some tacos out

28
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.280
and I was like, hey,
but if that's not us, but if

29
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.439
you can't find who they belonged to, you know, bring them all back.

30
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.639
And he did, and he's like, here you go enjoy. We're

31
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.879
like, okay, bomb, that
had been pretty messed up. I just

32
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.000
would have ate both of those tacos
in front of you and just be like

33
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.159
Yep, you'd be rolling around your
office floor right now. I don't do

34
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.400
that like the old me might have
done that. I don't think i've ever

35
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.719
ever would have done that, unless
what it had to do with, like

36
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.520
drinks or something. I would have
taken two drinks and yep, sorry justin

37
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.439
you don't get these, but no, I don't live that way anymore.

38
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:54.159
And a month from two days ago, I'll have five years clean gratulations.

39
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.960
Yeah, thanks achievement. Haven't made
it there yet, but I'm pretty sure

40
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:04.639
I'm going to again. Never know
what tomorrow brings, but he's gotta do

41
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.039
what you gotta do, keep on
keeping on, and you know, thanksgivings

42
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.240
coming up. It's right around the
corner you and I when we had lunch

43
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.400
though, it's the reason why I
brought up, not to plug the taco

44
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.759
places or anything. But we were
talking about everybody has daddy issues here.

45
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.479
Oh yeah, well we're not speaking
for other people here, but we're just

46
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:29.039
saying and you said something that was
funny or like there's a bunch of guys

47
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.039
with daddy issues trying to support each
other, or he says something like that,

48
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.159
yeah, and I was like,
yeah, actually we are aren't we

49
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.599
And we should probably talk about that
on the podcast today, so we might

50
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.120
as well. And if you think
about it, everybody has some kind of

51
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.120
issues, but I know women sometimes
you know, men are like, ohh

52
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.520
says daddy issues and rude, But
men have daddy issues too, Yeah,

53
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.719
wellheardly, you know. And whether
it be you know, abusive physically,

54
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:04.560
verbally, it's it's all the same. And even if they're just gone ab

55
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.240
yeah, and sometimes you don't even
know the story behind why they're gone or

56
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.240
what's going on, or what's happening
here, what's happening there. You know,

57
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.120
when you're a kid, you don't
really know all those things, and

58
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.319
you don't even know how to process
those things. You just know that,

59
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:23.079
you know, the man who had
the best swimmers in the world, who

60
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.839
brought me into this thing kind of
isn't around right, Just ditch me and

61
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.720
you just try to cope the best
you can, because you know, we're

62
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.600
boys, young growing men, and
we don't have issues like that. They

63
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.120
were supposed to bury those feelings.
Yeah, the next thing you know,

64
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.199
you're doing drugs and drinking all the
time and not saying that that was the

65
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.680
reason. I mean, there's probably
a hundred different reasons of why I went

66
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.079
south the way I did. But
if you look at it, like accepting

67
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.720
it and realizing that I had to
go through all that stuff to be where

68
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.920
I'm at today to maybe help other
people, I'm cool with that, you

69
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.399
know. I mean, that's how
it worked out. So I'm definitely not

70
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.759
pointing fingers at people it's because of
you or because of that. Definitely not

71
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.319
doing that, No, but being
in recovery, at least for me,

72
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.879
it allows me to kind of look
at the big picture of things and to

73
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.480
control what I can control today.
Yeah, it allowed me to just shed

74
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.519
some light on my dark path,
try to figure out what deep down the

75
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.639
side really bothered me and cut me
relapsing and just never had anyone really consistent

76
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.279
in my life is up from my
mom. It's tough, yeah, you

77
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.199
know, And you see other friends
at school and them and their dads are

78
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.879
doing stuff and you're like, yeah, which I had that relationship. Like

79
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.079
I said, I'm not blaming nobody
in my life, and I had a

80
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.000
great stepdad, still do, but
it is what it is, you know.

81
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.120
But coming full circle, like you
know, people like you and I

82
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.040
and we can go back and look
at those issues and address those issues,

83
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.920
because they say that a lot of
this starts with childhood trauma. And if

84
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.560
you're too afraid to address it and
you're still trying to walk through life like

85
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.680
everything, it's perfect. Nothing to
see you here. You're going to keep

86
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.240
carrying that baggage with you. But
once you learned that you can accept it

87
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:10.240
and move on and take today as
today right and move on, you know,

88
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.839
like how we move on? I
have no idea. You know,

89
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.480
that's what therapists are for, and
exactly. I know you wrote a really

90
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.800
good blog the other day. I
was proud of you. I did.

91
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.759
I shared it on our two seventeen
recovery group. If you haven't read it,

92
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.199
it's on Facebook. It's also a
two seventeen recovery dot com. It's

93
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.720
called change m HM. And it
was pretty powerful stuff. Man. Yeah,

94
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.680
I was like, just didn't write
this, No, I had AI

95
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.600
do it for me, did you? Yeah? Chat GPT, I don't

96
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:43.720
know, Yeah, I get get
Jeremy's assistant. Yeah. No, it

97
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.439
was a really good blog and you
kind of touched on some issues and you

98
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.160
talked about, you know, therapy
and the things that you had to do

99
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:55.480
and in the the situations you were
put in, and you could have made

100
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.319
bad choices and you didn't. You
know, you were like at a point

101
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.519
where you were don't with life.
And we had talked about I think on

102
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.680
the last podcast maybe or maybe the
podcast before that, where you were in

103
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.959
jail and you were like just feening
and you couldn't wait to get out and

104
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.839
get high. And then you get
home and you tell your mom we'll off

105
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.439
to get high and she's like,
wait, what, Like yeah, you

106
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.279
know that just flabbergass breaks my heart, you know, and you're like,

107
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.800
wait, what really, Okay,
I'll go treatment, you know, but

108
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.600
as you loved with a friend of
mine, and she's like, I won't

109
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.399
use around you. The next thing, you know, it's just plawing on

110
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.360
her mouth pipe and was like,
here we go. Hopefully your willpower is

111
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.480
strong today. I'm like, yeah, I just need to go get my

112
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.759
shoes and you can drop me off
at my brother's house way back. Dang.

113
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:45.480
Yeah, some strong willpower. Yeah. And maybe the longer or the

114
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.399
more you distance yourself from it,
you know, I know with alcohol,

115
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.480
for me, it seems to be
that that way so far, the more

116
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.839
I put distance of myself and the
more I create a life and actually,

117
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.439
you know, have purpose and goals
and stuff like that makes it even further

118
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.560
away from it. And I know
people who have a lot more time than

119
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.040
me and that they always say,
too, don't get too cocky, and

120
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.439
you just want to drink away from
being right back in there, you know,

121
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.959
And I know that I'm very aware
of that. Yeah, And I'm

122
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.199
not meaning to sound cocky, because
I'm not cocky about it. I'm just

123
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.399
saying, you know, where I'm
at today is a way different place and

124
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.480
way differ place. Yeah, I
have much more purpose in my life today

125
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.079
than I than I had in my
past. So me too. I'm working

126
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.039
for a company that I saw I
was on work for and got laughed at.

127
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:41.200
So jokes on, you got your
Yeah, let's tell that story again,

128
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.600
justin for people. Maybe this is
the first time they're listening to the

129
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.279
podcast or something, but let's let's
tell that story. Oh, when you

130
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.039
worked at a treatment center, you
told me you showed me this wonderful place

131
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.440
I should go to called Nathan's house. I didn't have a ride there.

132
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.559
Try to ask my mom nobody,
you know, she want to come up

133
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.960
and get me and take me,
and you're like, well, I'll take

134
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.480
you up there justin it's on the
way up there. We conversate. You're

135
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.159
like, oh, Charlotte Boy's got
good meetings. There's meetings here. Here's

136
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.240
a good therapists phone number, because
you really need some therapy. And then

137
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.519
I get there and I'm like,
I'm gonna do this one day for you.

138
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.240
You laughed at me and said one
thing at a time. Ah,

139
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.440
smart guy. Yeah, that's kind
of how it went. Is that was

140
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.799
your recovery story you're gonna tell Yeah, that would be a good part of

141
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.320
it. That would really be a
good part to tell it, Like the

142
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.240
Recovery Stories Message of Hope part two
that we have coming up we think in

143
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.440
February, And of course we just
had the first one. And yeah,

144
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.120
then when I was in sober living, cups of me, these them sas

145
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.600
trainings, do this, do this, do this? In my life just

146
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.759
solely started falling, falling together,
falling. I'm working first two to seventeen

147
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.559
recovery, but no, it just
started coming together. You know. I

148
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.200
moved back down here to Travis City, got a job at the local treatment

149
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:18.879
center, and then started doing rides
for you. Shortly after that. Yeah.

150
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.600
But that's the thing though, is
you wanted it, and you I

151
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.759
knew that you would take the trainings
and you went and did the suicide prevention

152
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.399
stuff too, which I thought was
huge for me when I took it.

153
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.759
I think everybody should take that.
Yeah, And it's just those little things

154
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.440
that you can do to okay,
like move your mind forward, and you're

155
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.000
gaining experience with it, you know, even with writing blogs. You know,

156
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.559
I'll give you a hard time about
your blogs sometimes, but you're still

157
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.440
learning. And now you know how
to write a blog, yeah, you

158
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.159
know for the most part, and
you know how to you know, get

159
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.039
on the internet a little bit and
play with the website without getting oh my

160
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.000
god, we got to talk about
that by getting viruses on the computer.

161
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:05.679
Yeah. Oh so here's a story. But we'll get to that story in

162
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.279
just a second. I just want
to talk to finish about the block thing

163
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.840
and gaining new experiences. But that
does actually move you forward in your brain

164
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.519
and when you're thinking, when you're
doing new things, you're learning new things.

165
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.840
So you know, there's a recovery
coaching. I tell people, you

166
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.840
know, even when we go talk
at detox, I tell people, look

167
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.519
have some goals, become a recovery
coach. Even if you're like I don't

168
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.480
want to be recovery coached. Do
it because you have something that you're going

169
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.519
to look forward to accomplishing and never
know. It's only two weekends. Yeah,

170
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.200
we're gonna mess around, catch some
sobriety or something. You know,

171
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.320
what are you afraid of a little
knowledge? Yeah, it's free. Well

172
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.879
up north, it is heard in
southwest Michigan. There's places that they make

173
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.399
you pay for it. That's dumb. I know. I just shake my

174
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.759
head at Swimba and what they don't
do for other people. But whatever,

175
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.240
you need to find an address north
of fifty five, yeah, but they

176
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.240
Yeah, but there's way even if
you dad to pay for whatever. It's

177
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.200
something that's moving your mind for it
and you're not spending your money on drugs

178
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:07.279
or alcoll so you'll do it.
So the story is, I was about

179
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.960
to get into you. So yesterday
I had to wait for this guy to

180
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.960
come repair our door. How was
that It's crib took him two seconds.

181
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.519
I was like, so we waited
here for two hours that you couldn't call

182
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.000
and say, hey, I'm gonna
be there after four we were supposed to.

183
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.240
He was supposed to be there from
two to four. So I have

184
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.960
to go home, and I'm sitting
there, just sitting there and change cat

185
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.159
litter, all three of them,
all the boxes, you know. I'm

186
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.919
like, Okay, what else can
I do? And I'm like doing other

187
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.720
stupid little things and waiting, and
then my wife gets home. Marnie gets

188
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.960
home and I'm like, dude,
hasn't been here. She's like, oh,

189
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.799
I guess she didn't have to leave
work early. I was like,

190
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.080
I guess not. And then Marnie
finally, like ten to four, Marti

191
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.240
calls is like, is he coming? And then they started kind of getting

192
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.840
snampy back, and then he had
four or five dude knocks on the door.

193
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:05.480
I'm like, all right, man, so I'm not in the best

194
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.679
mood, you know, and then
the dude seriously something he could have probably

195
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.080
done from outside. I'm like,
I don't know whatever. So then Martie's

196
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.159
like, let's go get some meat. And it's like okay. So we're

197
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.200
in the car and we're gonna go
get some dinner and my phone blows up

198
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:26.960
and it's Mitchell O'Brien calling your secretary
on a FaceTime chat or something, yeah,

199
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.919
because he doesn't have the iPhone yet, so it was his Facebook messenger

200
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.519
and I answered him like hello,
and I just hear this alert, like

201
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.080
alarm's going off, and I'm like, what is going on there? So

202
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.559
why don't you explain to me what
happened from? Because you were sitting right

203
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.960
next to him, I think when
this happened. Correct, Yeah, he

204
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.039
was looking something up on the internet. He's known for looking up inappropriate things.

205
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.720
Yeah. He will go around and
I'm a pause you there for a

206
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.279
minute, and he will go around
and bitch about his computer being so slow

207
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.279
and the internet here is so slow. And I go to your computer,

208
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.879
I go to Adam's computer, and
go to Marnie's computer, go to my

209
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.080
phone, go to my computer,
and I run the speed test and it's

210
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.440
like five hundred megabytes per second or
something, which is pretty quick. Yeah,

211
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:16.480
And then I go to his and
it's two and I'm like, what

212
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.000
did you do to your computer?
Dude? Well, I don't know.

213
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.519
I didn't do nothing. I'm like, okay, then we get that fixed

214
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.000
finally. And then so anyway,
so back to your story, Yeah,

215
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.679
he looks up inappropriate things. I
think he turned his adult safe search off.

216
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:43.360
What Yeah, pixel Bay has very
interesting photos and sometimes now on his

217
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.120
computer. But you don't have to
turn that off. You can just click

218
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.519
the picture. And I'm like,
are you old enough? And you go,

219
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.879
of course, I am my computer. I can't even find it,

220
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.799
some of the images. But anyways, next thing, he's supposedly looking up

221
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.799
fantasy football quotes and he clicks on
a link and next thing, you know,

222
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.440
his computers all locked up and won't
do nothing, telling him that he

223
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.279
needed to contact Microsoft support. It
was rather funny. I sat there and

224
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.080
laughed. I was like, what
inappropriate things are you looking up? Now?

225
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.519
Like, you better call your boss
and explain to him what you did.

226
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.600
And that's when you received a phone
call. Actually I might have the

227
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:41.440
audio of this. Ha ha.
Well you oh your boss, I'm video

228
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:48.320
chat, I'm video chat, you
say, yes, so you kind of

229
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.840
directed him to do the video chat
of his mistake, yes, so that

230
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.559
way you could see what he was
doing to company equipment. So I get

231
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:02.480
this call and it sounds like bell
and whistles and all kinds of crazy stuff

232
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:04.279
going on, and I'm like,
what's what's happening? And he's like,

233
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.799
well, I was looking up fantasy
football stuff, which if you read his

234
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.000
blog, he realized he was not
looking at fantasy football stuff. He was

235
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.000
looking at fantasy Yes, he just
left out the football, so he might

236
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.120
have did fantasy stuff. And I
bet you would get a virus if you

237
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.080
look that stuff up and then started
clicking on whatever you thought with some titties

238
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:30.399
right or whatever. He was going
on his picture pretty out there, yeah,

239
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.320
and I mean so it did help
him design it a little bit.

240
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.600
I mean, he calls, I'm
like, I didn't even know we had

241
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.159
an alarm system here, you know
him, don't close this brows room,

242
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.960
Like, dude, I'm plugged the
computer. No, it says not to.

243
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.960
It's like, of course, it
tells you not to because it's trying

244
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.080
to steal your files right now.
Like what are you doing, bro,

245
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.960
Like I'm plug it, you have
to do that? Well, it says

246
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.759
not to ruin everything. I'm like, I was hoping this whole blog was

247
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.639
going to be erased. I said
a gift later and it was like please

248
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.799
don't or say it says downloading virus
now, please don't stop, you know,

249
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.000
or something. I was like,
there you go, dude, it's

250
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.039
not what you're doing. But I
haven't heard any complaints today, No,

251
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.759
not yet, so I'm assuming that
that worked. I did hear you ask

252
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.880
them for some gift cards and take
pictures on something to you. Yeah,

253
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:26.799
well, it's a scam that goes
on and they target old people. Our

254
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.720
good friend Tyrone, who does the
open I don't know if he got got

255
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.319
with this before, but he lives
in the community and there's people a lot

256
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.720
older than him. Tyrone's really not
that old, but he said. This

257
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.400
guy was like, Yo, man, this person I want to meet me

258
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:49.240
and the seme of these booty pictures
and titties or whatever, and I want

259
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.200
to hook up with you, but
first I need you to go buy some

260
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:59.480
gift cards and then take a picture
of them with the number and the security

261
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.559
code, and then I'll meet you
around the back later. Wait an hour.

262
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.480
Yeah, Tyn's like, this person's
not coming and the guy, I

263
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.400
guess the guy was getting irate.
Yeah you use or yeah she is or

264
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.359
whatever he wanted he was looking for. And then Tyrone said yeah. The

265
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.039
next day he made somebody else take
him over there and wait again, buy

266
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.920
more gift cards. I'm like,
and Tylerne's like, I'm telling him it's

267
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.559
a scam, but he won't listen
to me. Poor guy. Yeah,

268
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.480
so that's why I was referring to
with you know, Mitch, Yeah got

269
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.640
some gift cards. Yeah, because
he because he fell for the old virus

270
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.119
trick, like, oh no,
don't click that, don't close it,

271
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.480
whatever you do, don't exit out
of this right now. I'm like,

272
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.720
you already made a mistake by clicking
something probably were't supposed to. And that's

273
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.519
how they get people as they do
that whole panic thing, like oh no,

274
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.440
right now is this you know?
And you used to have to realize

275
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.680
what's going on here? Like no, absolutely, I'll reset my computer and

276
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.559
turn it off if I need to, Like some people will get so pantic

277
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.200
and it'll tell you, you know, don't turn it off, like oh

278
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.039
my god. Okay, And Scott, seriously, it sounded like the alarm

279
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.880
was going off somewhere, like a
fire truck was going by. Man,

280
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.759
So what were you doing when I
actually went down, because that was not

281
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:17.240
caught on the cam. We were
talking about my blog. I just wrote

282
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.720
no, like when all the we're
like whoa. I was sitting right next

283
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:25.160
to him and when that started happening. What was your thinking? He was

284
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:30.319
looking up something inappropriate, probably trying
to look up some titties or something.

285
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:34.960
Oh, of Corey's gonna love this. I think that's why. Yeah,

286
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.559
obviously, because that's where like video
chatted. Yeah, it's gonna be good.

287
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.160
Your computer strikes again, Oh my
god. And then I love how

288
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.440
it's not his fault. Never No, he's the only one that uses that

289
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.240
computer, but it's not his fault. Zero accountability. Yeah, I was

290
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.200
looking up looking up fantasy football.
You know, I mean what was that?

291
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.200
You know, what was I supposed
to do? Man? You know,

292
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:04.160
it's just fancy football stuff? Why
do new fantasy football? It's been

293
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.799
kind of hard trying to find a
like a nineteen twenty year old. Yeah,

294
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:15.079
what's clearly going to think about that
match? Whoa name dropping? We

295
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.119
do have a new meeting here on
Wednesdays. I don't know what time it's

296
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.960
going to be. It was three
thirty to five, but I think it's

297
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:30.920
moving on Wednesdays, Yes, where
we have somebody who knows art and there's

So if you're in Traverse City,
feel free stop by. It's pretty

300
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.960
cool. It's popped in just for
a second, but it seems to be

301
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.240
seems to be one of our more
popular groups, so your sickond art.

302
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.039
Yeah, free and to check out
our schedule for all of our groups to

303
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.039
seventeen recovery dot com. It's kept
pretty up to date. Needs to be

304
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.640
updated, I know, every day
every day because they do change a lot.

305
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.240
And I know there's one guy that
will always send an email. Is

306
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.160
there still meeting tonight? Yeah,
but he always asked about the ones that

307
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.920
are always there and that have not
changed. But one time, I think

308
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.680
we went to Boyne City or something
for Harvest festival or something. We weren't

309
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:22.960
here and he was like, ah, freaking out about it. Sorry dude,

310
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.359
sorry, whatever you name should be. And I was gonna say your

311
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.279
name. Huh, So that shit
happens. Yeah, I was gonna say

312
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.119
his name, but I figured that's
inappropriate too, So yeah, we'll just

313
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.160
leave it alone. Yeah. So
that's that's always fun, you know,

314
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:42.559
to get calls like that. Mitch
did include on the end of his blog

315
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.480
PS asked justin about the Roku remote, so if anyone wants to know more

316
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.880
details, they can email me.
Well, let's talk about it. Now

317
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:55.400
he's not here. We'll have to
get all up in it. Oh wait,

318
00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:02.880
what he is there? Okay,
so Monday, we're Tuesday. We

319
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:08.279
were sitting around the office joking around
like a bunch of teenagers, and he

320
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:18.920
picked up a Rokul remote to demonstrate
his manhood, and then we're having the

321
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:25.599
art meeting soon. In the art
meeting, says, sometimes I think my

322
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:30.119
Roku's remote is my vaatee and I
put it up to my mouth and it

323
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:36.839
doesn't taste bad, fabulous, and
me and Mitch started dying laughing. I'll

324
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.839
have to get all up in it. So that is the rocul remote a

325
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:47.119
story. It's half of it.
We hapened Mitch tell the other half at

326
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:53.400
a different time time of his choosing. And we like Mitch. We give

327
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.720
Mitch a hard time because we do
like him. If we didn't like him,

328
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.200
we wouldn't even mention no no,
no, nope, wouldn't make them

329
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.519
do rides or something. No.
And you know, Adam couldn't be here

330
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.160
today. He's got other stuff going
on at this moment. But we wanted

331
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.839
to do a podcast, and I
feel bad because I'm not doing enough you

332
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.920
know, Tuesday Thursday, it turned
into just Friday. It was Tuesday,

333
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:22.480
Thursday, Saturday, and it just
turns into a Friday and then every other

334
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.759
weekend or something. And I really
have to do a better job of doing

335
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:27.599
more. There's a lot of stuff
I have to start doing better. I

336
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:33.279
was, I'm my doctor today and
I really need to make time for myself

337
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:41.559
to a do some kind of physical
activity activity just so that my stress level

338
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.799
can go down because I'm stressed out
a lot, and I'm trying not to

339
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.519
show Marnie that I'm stressed out a
lot, so then she goes to bed,

340
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.599
and then I guess some people say
stress eat, you know, then

341
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.000
I go for the ice cream because
it like gives me those and dorphins and

342
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.440
I just makes me feel better and
happy. Do to do to do lots

343
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.480
of chocolate sauce. Yeah, we'll
keep board dancing in my head. I'm

344
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:11.759
like, but and I think I
do that because I'm not relieving the stress

345
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.240
in other ways. And I'm not
I'm not saying that I don't ever have

346
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.440
sex. Stuff that's cool, that
happens. That's not the problem, but

347
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.519
it's just I need some other activities
to get that out of my out of

348
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.039
my head. And then of course
when you eat big old bowl of ice

349
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.559
cream and then try to go to
bed, well, naturally, sugar is

350
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.160
going to keep you up and then
it hurts my stomach anyway. So I'm

351
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.359
like, and then and I'll get
enough sleep. So it's it. There's

352
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.759
a lot of things that just walking
for half an hour a day. I

353
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:45.079
think we'll take care of a lot
of things. And at night, I

354
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.559
don't have to feel like I'm okay, Marne's a sleeping she goes to bed

355
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.160
early, you know. And then
I'm like, okay, well what do

356
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:52.240
I do. Well, let's go
eat some ice cream, you know.

357
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.200
And it's I told my doctor,
tay you that it reminds me a lot

358
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.799
of when I was, you know, my drinking day. Set my drinking

359
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.759
day, I read when I get
home and beyond, but that wait for

360
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.519
someone else to go to bed or
you know, wait till I get myself

361
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:10.559
alone, and then I can really
you know, tear it up, you

362
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.960
know. And I kind of feel
like the same thing, you know.

363
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:19.440
Yeah, so I gotta change some
things. So was your fantasy football team

364
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.759
doing doing great? Man? I
slaughtered a dode, I played last week.

365
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:30.000
That was horrible. How did you
keep doing? I got slaughtered last

366
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:36.680
year? Oh really? Yeah?
Coincidence? Very cool? Yeah, no,

367
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.799
I mean that's that's going right.
And I just got a notification Joe

368
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.839
Burrow will be out for the rest
of the season. Wow, torn ligament

369
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:48.640
in his wrist. See that's what
the I think that's what I have.

370
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:56.119
Yeah, we're are you sure it's
not carpor tunnel torn ligament? What you

371
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.279
said? You guy? Get an
MRI done? Fine, damn it.

372
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.920
I forgot to tell my doctor that
today and my next appointments in two months.

373
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.039
Well you butter on your patient portal
and message her. Yeah. Well

374
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.079
because seriously, like, and I
don't know if you saw how my hand

375
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:18.960
just just swolled up when we're doing
all that government work. Yeah, and

376
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:25.319
like if I try to loosen things
or tighten things, you know, if

377
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:32.480
I'm using a hammer even or a
screwdriver, like it gets real weak.

378
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.839
And just and when he dropped that
ball, or because they showed him on

379
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:37.279
the sideline throwing the ball, but
when he threw the pass and then like

380
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.200
ah, I grabbed his stuff.
I'm like, dude, that's what I

381
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.680
do, you know, And it
like shoots up my arm. And I've

382
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.960
talked to my doctor about this and
she just kind of looks at me like,

383
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.640
all right, dude, your lists
getting a little long, right,

384
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.799
But but no, but that's something
I should have looked up. But my

385
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.440
my palm will swell up and my
whole hand will and it's just crazy because

386
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.799
I don't even have to do anything
for that long and then I can't grip

387
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.079
any thing, and it's just like, ah, carpal tunnel can cause all

388
00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:07.839
that, though too, ligament bro
one require surgery for my baseball days back

389
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.559
in the day. Yeah, or
I wonder if this because when one time

390
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.559
be sure baseball days were it's hurting
right now for alone time? No a

391
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.960
loone time, man. But one
time I'm pulled up my right sleeve because

392
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.680
this is this vein right here is
like impossible for people to find. And

393
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.480
I've been to the ear many times
and they have to give me an IV

394
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:32.559
and they always try to use my
right arm, and of course when I'm

395
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:33.839
intoxicated, I don't know how to
tell them, hey, other arm.

396
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.640
And I remember one guy was like
in there digging, digging, digging,

397
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.079
And then one time I went I
think I was on the vivatrol shot and

398
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.680
they needed to do a blood draw
to check my liver to see if it

399
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.839
was okay that I get the shot. And when they did that, this

400
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.799
lady was her first hour on the
job, I'm pretty sure, and she

401
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:53.559
like stuck it in and man,
it hurt like hell, and it felt

402
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.880
like fire all the way down.
My arm like just fired, and I'm

403
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.400
like, what are you doing?
I was like, it feels like my

404
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.440
arm's on fire. And she's like
what, I ain't doing nothing, and

405
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.960
she's in there digging and I'm like, stop whatever you're doing. I was

406
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.839
like, it feels like my arm's
on fire. And then this sudden lady

407
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.559
comes in and she's like, I've
never had that happen before. I don't

408
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:14.799
know we're talking about. Then I
look it up and she had hit my

409
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:18.799
nerve, So I wonder if that
has something to do with it nerve damage.

410
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.400
I don't know. I wish we
knew they make pills for that.

411
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.720
WHOA, I'm not trying to pop
pills, buddy, but I am trying

412
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.960
to figure out the source of this, because, you know, not the

413
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.000
time, I look like Joe Burrow, but I look kind of like Joe

414
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.359
Burrow, you know one the way
you just just dropped the ball and he's

415
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.039
like, I can't do it.
Then Mark Andrews, Yeah, he's out

416
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:48.440
too for us this season. What's
your wife going to do with her fantasy

417
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:55.000
team? I don't know, man, that's her team, bro, it

418
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:04.119
would be interesting. I guess,
you know, like Mark Andrews, she

419
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:08.279
she drafted Joe Burrow. Another dude
in league dropped him after a couple of

420
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:12.680
weeks because he wasn't doing so hot
earlier in the year, So she's made

421
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.920
more room for a bench. I
guess right, Yeah, I don't know.

422
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.400
My team's looking pretty damn good,
though, mine's minus too. Finally

423
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:26.039
made a few trades. Yeah,
got a quarterback. Finally you're learning from

424
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.359
Winfield. Yeah, you get something
that somebody else wants, even if you

425
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.440
don't want it, you get it
because you'll bounce it around and you can

426
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.240
get it back. I traded running
back at him, and then you traded

427
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.680
running back for a tight end.
Then you take a the tight end for

428
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.079
the quarterback that you wanted. Yeah, which is kind of the same thing

429
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.640
I did with the trade in the
league too. But yeah, not to

430
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.079
talk too much fantasy football, because
we should do that on Sunday mornings,

431
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.079
but nobody ever wants to not here. But now we're doing Friday Fabulous Friday

432
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:02.039
podcasts. You're talking about fantasy football. Yeah, we just had football last

433
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:08.559
night, so it's okay, all
right. That's Justin's Fabulous Football Friday minute

434
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:12.359
or two. If you haven't read
Justin's blog, though, I recommend you

435
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:17.039
do that. I think Adam is
going to have a blog soon. Mitch's

436
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:18.960
blog. You know, it's about
fantasy football and how he didn't want to

437
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:23.920
be in fantasy football or something.
Settle Fantasy football is a lot. Yeah,

438
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.599
and it caused almost a crash on
his computer. So yeah, if

439
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:30.680
you want to comment on it,
and that's the cool thing too. You

440
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.559
can comment on the blogs. Can
be like, hey, Justin, I

441
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.319
really agree with you, or man, I appreciate you saying that, you

442
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:37.519
know, opening up, you know, feel free, or if you want

443
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.279

a little virus gift on there, you
