There 16 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.840 was a lot more to this story because I read your blog, which anybody 17 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.319 can do it. Two seventeen recovery dot com slash blog. What about it? 18 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.680 Well, you wrote a blog. They well, internet maybe hooked out 19 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:36.159 for like a week. You love your mom. Oh that's right, okay, 20 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.239 so you got your mom on the internet. Yeah, and that doesn't 21 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.920 concern you. It doesn't scare you, you know, for like you're enabling 22 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.040 no, okay, because she's just gonna expect this from you from now on. 23 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.079 She's probably gonna quit her job. None. You'd be paying a rent, 24 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:59.760 rent, her own rent. You're opening a door justin. That's letting 25 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:05.959 in. Not good stuff. I remember goal sheet that said differently than what 26 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.199 he just said. What do you remember it saying, Mitch, I remember 27 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:14.639 saying how he wants to make his you know, life situation better so we 28 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.960 can move certain people in with him. Well, I'm working on that. 29 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:25.520 It requires a lot of money right now to a tax agency that I'm dealing 30 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.560 with, So that way I can't be able to afford to have an apartment. 31 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.240 But instead of having an apartment, you making sure she's got internet because 32 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.319 that's a bill too. That kind of comes out of what you could be 33 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:46.120 saving a little bit. I think he got the Internet because he needed it 34 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:53.280 for himself. Kind because your mom's on the backwoods right well, in bald 35 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.919 Ones. Yeah, that's what I said, backwoods. So she stays up 36 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:04.680 in Baldwin in the woods and there's no internet there. Well, she says 37 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.000 she doesn't cancel the Internet. I'm like, no, she can't cancel the 38 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.599 internet, bro, What are you gonna do when you're there? If she 39 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.759 doesn't have internet Internet people use internet all over the earth, Bro, It'll 40 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.599 be boring with the Internet new to her. She don't want to pay at 41 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.159 and T SKYI prices for Internet, so she's going to cancel the internet. 42 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:31.520 What is in my brother's name else got canceled recently. I don't really follow 43 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.599 the cancel thing. I just kind of like who I like and don't like. 44 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.039 I don't like. Yeah, So when people are like, we're going 45 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:43.039 to cancel eminem, I just kind of chuckle. It's cute. That makes 46 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:50.479 him stronger, right, But I can't remember your name now? Justin Wow, 47 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.240 Jordans here wants to like, man, I'm horrible with names. But 48 00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:03.560 Marshton's on the two seventeen Recovery podcast. Yeah, I say called Mitchell Marshall 49 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.960 forever. Yeah, but no, so Justin wants to cancel the Internet, 50 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.840 like, I don't think you can do that, bro, Or she wants 51 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.240 to at her house. Yeah, she's not that powerful. Maybe she is 52 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.839 that backwoods that she thinks she can cancel the Internet. Well, not like 53 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:26.160 the whole internet, just service at her house. Oh yeah, so confused, 54 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:32.319 clearly. So she's canceling because it's too expensive. Yeah, just trying 55 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.720 to take back some of them bottles. There's other things that people can cut 56 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.279 out of their life. But it's so funny how we'll start to cut those 57 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.920 things out first, you know. And her addiction that I'm not saying anything 58 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.759 about who's addicted, who's not addicted. I'm just saying myself personally, like 59 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.439 I would do that same thing. I don't even need it. I'll have 60 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.680 Netflix instead of like me going, maybe I just won't spend money on Booze 61 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.360 anymore, you know, like that been that had been the easy choice. 62 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.000 But no, no, no, like our addicted brain, that's not even 63 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.800 an option not have Booze. No no, no, no, that's option 64 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:11.199 one. I'm having that first. Yeah, I convinced myself that I would 65 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.720 save a bunch of money not drinking, and then also the fact that of 66 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.759 how much weight they gained and how many calories it was and how bad that 67 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.199 was for me. And I was like, I really need to stop doing 68 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.759 this, and a year later I was still still doing it. So I'm 69 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.519 gonna start tomorrow. Cutting baffling powerful. Yeah, it just keeps going and 70 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.319 going. So, like to Justin's troubling story here, So the Internet is 71 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.279 coming in a couple of weeks, but her phone's you got it with you. 72 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.720 Yeah, that's my car in your pocket. That's out in my car, 73 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.920 the car you don't lock. Yeah, okay, well now everybody know 74 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.120 the thing. It'll be gone by time people hear this. That's true. 75 00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.639 Not that be stopping by to check it out. Hey, I gotta run 76 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.319 out to my car real quick. Okay, hold on for you. So 77 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.319 that'll be nice for her to have that, though, I think, and 78 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.319 you know, doing stuff for other people, and you said in your blog, 79 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.920 it makes you feel good, you know, it really gives you that 80 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.040 sense of like not that you have to buy people things that you can mow 81 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.879 their yard, you can clean up their dishes, you can do whatever tons 82 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.120 of stuff that you can do for them, but you know, buying them 83 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.040 things that they couldn't afford or that they normally wouldn't blurge on themselves for it. 84 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.879 You know, that does feel good, and I'm proud of you for 85 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.720 being able to do that. Yeah, my mom gave me a bunch of 86 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:47.480 money last last summer when I was going through like my divorce and was down 87 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:54.720 and out as on's like trying to pay my old cell phone bill because I 88 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.120 was too stupid just to calm down and shut it off even I had a 89 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.040 company phone.

Really, I tried for shock value and it just gave him 125 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.519 permission and it was terrible. Yeah. I started looking at my button's like 126 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.080 what okay, this is nor this conversation? What can I hit? I 127 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.759 was born with mine? But but I can identify it now? What drops 128 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.759 can I? That's insensive? It's cool. So we're going to start a 129 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.240 podcast and we might as well talk about it now. It's going to be 130 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:13.879 called Recovery Dads, and we can talk about being dads. Yeah, okay, 131 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.679 Mitch just made a reference to sucking penis. I know you want to 132 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.320 talk about that. You want to talk about that for a minute. Place. 133 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.159 Oh yeah, but I don't know why you're showing me that. Oh 134 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.559 you got a cough? Well no, we can't hear. Yeah, well 135 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.879 you're muted. I'm going to mute Justin's too. Okay, look, okay, 136 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.279 So the second I did that just year, I realized he's not going 137 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.720 to see a cough. He's going to see an opportunity. I don't know 138 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.159 what else you're saying, like, acause we were talking about that before we 139 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.960 did the podcast. Yeah, that's why we started a podcast. I was 140 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.120 like, well, this is start. We're talking about this stuff about how 141 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.919 he doesn't really care for it. Whoa all out there? He's not saying 142 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.080 he's closing the door. Both are no, and he doesn't like to return 143 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:11.679 it neither what no way, I'm not trending on tinor anymore. It just 144 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:18.200 baffles me. It explains the patchy beard. Yeah, I watered all of 145 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:24.279 the plants. Yeah, all of them? About all you did? Right, 146 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.480 So yeah, that did happen though. We were talking about that, 147 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.799 and then Recovery Dance podcast was something I was going to talk about and thanks 148 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.879 for the gesture, Mitch. That was fun. Uh yeah, the Recovery 149 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.320 Dance podcast we're going to start. I don't know when that will officially kick 150 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.039 off, but got some little equipment today so we can do like the show 151 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.519 from the road. Yeah, they don't have to be a no studio, 152 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:54.600 no stupid nice studio with Corey's crap and cameras everywhere. But we can take 153 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.000 it on the road if we want to, and that'll be fun, I 154 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.519 think, And first we were talking about maybe we will. I will see 155 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.440 how that works out, but I really want to have a place where it 156 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.600 looks good. But filming it in a certain location, you know, we 157 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.679 can post like a video thing too. But I've always been a radio guy. 158 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.080 I've been more intrigued by radio. I see people doing them on YouTube 159 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.159 and people watch them, and that's cool and all. But the beauty of 160 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.720 a podcast is you can listen to when you're driving down the road. You 161 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.440 don't have to pay attention. You can just use ones just listen, right. 162 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.399 You know, you can be in the shower, you can be taking 163 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.519 the dump, you can be in bed sleeping like you just listen to the 164 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.720 podcast. So it's a lot easier to listen as posts to watch it and 165 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.720 how much time and effort is it going to take to put that together? 166 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.279 True that I don't know. I don't know. I'm still waiting for my 167 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:48.559 video from Recovery story man. Well, yeah, I was going to do 168 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.399 it this weekend, but I don't work weekend, so just wait until you 169 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.600 have Parker. You'll understand. Yeah, And I won't work weeks either on 170 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.279 weekends. I've really enjoyed how the dynamics have changed around here since like when 171 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:11.080 we started, because I really felt like it was everybody gang up on Mitch 172 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.399 back then, and it's a lot more pointed at all of us now. 173 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.039 You guys will come at me, but then you go, you know, 174 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.200 and we can you know, jump on justin for a while, and you 175 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.279 know that's it makes it easier for me, you know, a less stress. 176 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.000 You're still the pivot man. Yeah, that's that's fine. Yeah, 177 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:37.039 I definitely give that back. So no, I gotta hit it, Mitch. 178 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:45.919 Which one got your ass two times? Because you can't drive. Dedicated 179 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.919 Germany, Duran. We should start doing that, is dedicating it to Germany 180 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.399 every time. I don't know, we should say this whole name, the 181 00:13:54.440 --> 00:14:00.720 whole jd oh, Jermy Jurman. I like Jeremy though he should be on 182 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:05.080 a couple of months hopefully, Yeah, should be. I'm sure we'll see 183 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.120 him. That'll be fun because like, did he get boot camp? I 184 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:13.759 don't think so. They call it jail or prison. No, I don't 185 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.720 know about that. I thought he went to prison. It was definitely prison. 186 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.919 Yeah, he went to prison, Okay. Boot camps is a release 187 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:30.039 program. Thanks for tuning in, Like, well, whatever happened, but 188 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.200 it was a boot camp's early release. They go there for like ninety days 189 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:39.960 to see if a well their attitude and hole well being and ship. He's 190 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.799 gonna be out for about then then depend how well you progressed. I don't. 191 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.799 I don't have to do that drill. You can get out. Here's 192 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.080 why, because it's an eighteenth Amendment all your time. Well, we'll see. 193 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.679 I don't know, but I remember just last year having him around it. 194 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.240 He was like he's a fun person to you know, and looking forward, 195 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.799 like towards this summer, it's like, what events are we going to 196 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:09.360 do? Apparently Mitch thanks signed up for a bunch of cool stuff to do 197 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.799 for the Cherry Festival. Yeah, the fun ones. Yeah, Like I 198 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.960 was like the last conversation I had with the assistant director about that was like, 199 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.879 we should probably not do that this year because there's a baby coming in 200 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.039 the picture. I'm probably not gonna be around for it. I don't really 201 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.600 want to commit to that when we need five people to do that and we 202 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.759 just lost a member of the staff, not the you know, like, 203 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.559 I don't know, we're down a member. I'm out. Martie's out, 204 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:46.039 like, yeah, probably shouldn't. Probably shouldn't like start like volunteering for things, 205 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.879 committing the things. I can get five people, we got, We've 206 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.600 got Kim, we've got a driver. He won't be because he'll be taking 207 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.720 treatment. It's not on the weekend. It's during the week. Last last 208 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.200 year, last year was the weekend? Oh was it? Most of the 209 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.759 stuff was on the weekend. We did stuff during the week, not very 210 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:15.639 much. What huh? And Corey drove those times, well we're we're go 211 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.120 Mitch, Mitch, Smitch, Smitch. We've been having me doing volunteer management 212 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.200 training all year because I want you to head up the volunteer people. Yeah, 213 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.200 I want you to do that. So I know when Marty was like 214 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:27.840 because I was like, oh, we're not doing wait what we're doing it. 215 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.840 And she's like, yeah, mit, she's gonna do that. And 216 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.799 then so I was like, all right, cool, Well, if he 217 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.759 wants to do it, then you know he definitely can. And that's kind 218 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.000 of what his job was supposed to be. So did you sign us up 219 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.480 for the East Jordan Festival and the Boyne City Festival yet? Well? I 220 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.440 didn't have any hand in the East Jordan one, so I need to talk 221 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.679 to you about that, But the Boyne City one, yeah, we're perpetually 222 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:52.679 signed up for that until we tell him we don't want to be. So 223 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:59.919 I have a I think we should do the Paski Fair too, Tasky Fair. 224 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.640 Yeah, the Emmitt County Fair. Yeah, I do it. What 225 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.279 do you mean do it? Like? Show up, show up, fly 226 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.079 drone around? You need to build a float for the Pirate Festival. You 227 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:18.440 want to build a float for something else? I got an email and said 228 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.880 let's do this. I said, hey, what do you think about this? 229 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.559 All right? We should build a float. I'm out, mhm. 230 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.119 Did you talk with him about that? All right? Ken? That's your 231 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:40.079 nicknamed Ken. Shout out to Jeff Lang. Oh, I'm justin I like 232 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.480 Jeff, I'm just saying, Jeff understands if he listens to this podcast I'm 233 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.440 talking about. But back to the volunteering stuff. That'll be fun. That'll 234 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.160 be cool, and we can go to these events the Recovery Dance podcast. 235 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.000 Do the two seventeen Recovery podcasts. I'm not sure which one, but me 236 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:59.119 both. I don't know. It'll be interesting to see how they both coincide, 237 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.759 because like, if we were doing Recovery dance podcasts, like we would 238 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.440 have topics, we would have like followers days coming up and I don't know, 239 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.200 whatever Mother's Day is coming up? You know, what are you getting 240 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:11.400 your mom? You know, like stuff like that. It'll be fun. 241 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.400 I know that's not a really like an interesting podcast everybody in the whole world 242 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.640 probably want to listen to, but well no, I think it'll be funny 243 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:26.359 too because we can do like this is Mitch from the Recovery Dance podcast seventeen 244 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:32.119 Recovery. It'll be goofy yeah. And once you stuff like prompt me into 245 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:37.200 explaining details of the blowout, the first staper blowout, I have to deal 246 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:42.880 with. You're the joy of you two, like Jesus might come back in 247 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.880 that moment. Seriously, he might come back like, well, that's what 248 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.880 we wanted to see. That's the happiest any two people in one spot can 249 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.480 be. Just make sure you take pictures. Oh no, I just hope 250 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.279 you don't get a finger painter. Yeah. Some kids, you'll you'll go 251 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:04.400 get them in the morning when they're supposed to wake up, and they'll have 252 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.440 a whole Mozarts on the wall in their room. Like I knew. I've 253 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.440 known quite a few families that have gotten finger painters. And my kid wasn't. 254 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.440 My kid was cool because he had blowouts. But once he got like 255 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.519 old enough to walk. I remember this one time it started to happen and 256 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.359 he like stuck his hand back there and he brought it out and there was 257 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.960 doodoo on his hand and he just went eh and like reached out to me 258 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:36.599 like there's poop on me and didn't touch anything. Yeah, that's good. 259 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:37.119 I was on the phone with my mom. I was like, ma, 260 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.680 I gotta go yeah drop. My phone started wiping up. The Dodo changed 261 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.200 that one, and we were good. There was no no mess. But 262 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.920 you get them other kids who were like, oh, what can we do 263 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.680 with this? Let's play TikTok toe on the wall. Yeah, it's like 264 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.000 a roll of the dice. So and they say your kids need to be 265 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.839 ten times worse than what you were as a kid. That was great. 266 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:07.920 Mm hmmmmm it was I have no problems, straight up, angel baby. 267 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.720 I don't believe they even have the dimples. So the dimples got you away 268 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.319 with everything you did? Right, nod like, Yeah, Cory was pretty 269 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:19.519 much perfect. Out of all of her children. My mom would have to 270 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.839 say I was the best. Really well, it says the same thing she 271 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.160 said, if your brother would have came first, I would have never had 272 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:36.039 you there. You go, Happy Mother's Day. So that would be the 273 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.960 cover dance. I think that would be the stuff that we would talking about, 274 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.400 just the fatherhood stuff, you know, and and different questions and different 275 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:47.240 things. Is we have different levels of fatherhood and recovery and and all that 276 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:48.599 stuff and how you kind of put it all together. And we'll have guests 277 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.559 on too that you know, we know people in early recovery and it's so 278 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:57.039 and I'm gonna say this is funny, but it's not how we've seen people 279 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:02.240 in super duper early recovery when they're trying to put it together and say they 280 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.400 enter treatment for the first time where they haven't really been a father for the 281 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:10.039 last ten years, five years, three years, whatever. And then they'll 282 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.440 get to treatment center and go, well, if you call my kids on 283 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.920 every Saturday at six o'clock, then I'm out of here. Like, wait, 284 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.519 when's the last time you called your kid at six o'clock on a Saturday? 285 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.880 Like never, Like what are you talking about? Like it's so not 286 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.599 funny, but it's funny how all of a sudden they'll be like, well, 287 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.200 I need to start making these demands. It's like, what you need, 288 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.960 what you need to do probably is just what people have been telling you 289 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.960 is listen, just pull the stuff out of your ears, listen to do 290 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.279 what you don't want to do, but what you need to do. I 291 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.079 laugh because of how relevant that is in the phone calls that I take. 292 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:47.519 It's true. I've seen it. I've heard it. I know I've heard 293 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:51.640 it. Every week you get at least one. So I was in the 294 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.599 middle of an intake, Well can I call my kid right now? We're 295 00:21:55.680 --> 00:22:00.519 doing an intake. Well, then I'm out of all right, buddy, 296 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:07.440 see you Yeah, And then they they've had some Like we do transportation, 297 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.799 we take people to him from treatment. And in the early stages, people 298 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.240 call me, and one thing I've always said is we're not a rehab rescue 299 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.359 you know, we're not going to go rescue you from rehab to get you 300 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:25.160 back to your drugs. And this kid called and he's he wasn't that old, 301 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.839 you know, he's like twenty three, twenty four or something like that, 302 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.880 and he was just like, yeah, well, I need to get 303 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.720 back to my family. My stepdad is in the hospital and he just died. 304 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.160 So a family really needs me. They dude, even hooked on mes 305 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.079 for three years. Your family has not needed you in quite some time. 306 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.680 And I'm sure they're going to be able to manage this. Just fine. 307 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.319 I had the blessing of a family who were very open with the fact like 308 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.119 we don't need you, bro, like we want you gone. Yeah, 309 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.079 And that's my point is like nobody needs this kid there. You know, 310 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:56.440 like he was just making an excuse because he thinks, oh, I got 311 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.119 a perfect excuse that I can get out of treatment. And I don't even 312 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.119 think it's I don't even know if that was a real story, but he 313 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.400 just made it up, I think to get back to his drug of choice. 314 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.799 Because people will say some really crazy things sometimes. And I remember going 315 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:15.039 through treatment early on and it was excuse cent, your excuse anything, Oh 316 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:21.160 ben bugs, Oh the food sucked or pillow wasn't comfortable, anything I could 317 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:22.319 use. I was using to get out of treatment, you know, like 318 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.119 all right, I'm out of here, man. So like I get it. 319 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:27.960 I've been there, done that, you know. But it's funny, 320 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.640 like how far they'll go with it. I never could be like, oh, 321 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.720 I need to talk to my kid right now. You know, it's 322 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.799 not to be more creative with my stuff. But it's just so funny though, 323 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:42.200 how that does happen Again, it's not funny, but it is kind 324 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:47.160 of like, wait, so your whole family wants you to save the day 325 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.599 now because you've been in treatment for four days and you didn't get your way, 326 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.920 so you're gonna go home. Okay, Like that can start to happen. 327 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.559 But for me, it was like a year and a half into recovery, 328 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.559 you know, I started to get that trust back and people started to 329 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.799 depending on I mean, like I had to build that they're going to do 330 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.279 that. One that blows my mind is funerals and I kind of get how 331 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.400 that's a special time. But the person that it's for doesn't care that you're 332 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.960 not there. They would say that they probably would like you to get your 333 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.960 life together. Yeah, they like me up and heaven watching you for a 334 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:25.240 little bit before you joined them, not going out and you know, going 335 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.240 to their funeral and then getting put back in that temptation before you're ready, 336 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:32.880 you know. So, but I know not everybody agrees with that. Yeah, 337 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:36.440 my grandfather was. I knew he was getting close, and it was 338 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.519 just an act of God that I was able to be there, you know. 339 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.759 And I knew there was a good chance that he might pass when I 340 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.200 was in treatment that last time. But I also worked it out with myself 341 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.640 in my own mind that if he did, I'm the same treatment because there's 342 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.160 nothing I can do out there. Plus I was core ordered, so I 343 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.359 could But I mean, but I could have you know, I could have 344 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.319 faced the consequences after him. But like, well, my granddaugh you know, 345 00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.039 I got adult, you know, but I knew that my family wouldn't 346 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.160 have wanted to see me there, and there's nothing I could have done, 347 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.240 you know. And just how it worked out, I was told that I 348 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:12.400 wasn't taking treatment serious and so ALSOLD I couldn't stay there ninety days, and 349 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.680 then I was going after sixty. And I think he died two days after 350 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:23.119 I got out of treatment, right before I was heading back to YEP just 351 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.839 Sober Living and I got my car fixed, and i'd seen him and he 352 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.640 looked like he just got out of a concentration camp, like they stopped feeding 353 00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.440 him, and he's just so skinny, and just it looked horrible. I 354 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.000 didn't want to see him again. And my mom was like, are you 355 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.799 gonna see Grandpa before you head out up north? And I said, Nope, 356 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:42.000 I'm not. I'm gonna go Camel Zoo and I'm gonna need your ID 357 00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.680 because I was still on the family plan planned because that's what forty year olds 358 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.920 do and get out of mama's family plan and that's what we do. And 359 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.759 they had told me a bunk phone the speaker wouldn't work. I mean, 360 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.920 there's so many little things with this story that all has to line up to 361 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.279 where it's perfect. And this is where I'm like, God, this is 362 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.279 all you, bro, Because hey, I get out of treatment early, 363 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.000 and I had some resembments about that, because first I was pissed off because 364 00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.799 I was taking it serious, but I was having fun at the same time, 365 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.480 and so it pissed me off that they were like, no, you're 366 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.079 not taking it serious. You're out of here, and I'm like what. 367 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.599 And then I called a probation ouncer and she's like, why are they letting 368 00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:17.680 you go early? And I said, because I'm doing so good clearly. 369 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:19.240 I said, oh, well, if you're out Tuesday, you need to 370 00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:22.680 be here Wednesday morning at nine. I said, okay, sounds good, 371 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.599 and then I went back in. They're like, well, if you behave 372 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.559 I was like, no, let's go. I'm ready. I'm going to 373 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.079 start this podcast, I'm gonna start this company. I'm ready to go anyway. 374 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.680 So I'm fine, but I still having resmbmance for that. And then 375 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.559 I get home and I'm like, I need a new phone. So we 376 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.839 go to Calama Zoo. They send me a bunk phone might be like you 377 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.720 use one or something, and the speaker wouldn't work and it sounded all crappy. 378 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:44.160 So I called them. They're like, well, you got to bring 379 00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.200 it back, but being on my mama's plan, I had to take it 380 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:51.160 back to Calama Zoo and I had to get her license and show them. 381 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:52.359 Hey, I'm on my mom's playing here. You go, forty year old 382 00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.960 dude, what's up? And that's not just here? And you're giving me 383 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:02.160 a crap about giving my hook hooking my mom um with internet and phone. 384 00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:07.000 Yeah, talk about enabling. Yeah. So anyway back to my story. 385 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:12.200 The problem is that's not just Kalamazoo. That's Kalamazoo from Boyt City. Well, 386 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:18.119 no, that's from Colomba. Yeah at this point, Yeah, it's 387 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.599 about forty five minutes something like that. Oh okay, yeah, so not 388 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.160 as dramatic now for Mitch, but still dramatic enough. And so I had 389 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.119 to drive back there, and my mom asked me going to see Grandpa. 390 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.559 I said, no, I'm not, you know, I don't want to 391 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:34.200 see him in that condition. And he said okay. Well, so I 392 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.319 get back from Kalamazoo. My car my stepdad had to fix it because I 393 00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:45.359 had apparently ran into a dumpster, busted the headlight out and did some other 394 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.839 things. Yeah, and then like they sent a part in because my steps 395 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.440 I said, oh, we can get this part from the junk yard. 396 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.680 Well they just cut it right out of the car. Unfortunately, I had 397 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.960 wires that needed to be hooked up, so he had to senate bad to 398 00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.920 get a new one. So, like Jason, the owner of Nathan's house, 399 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.240 he was like, why are you stalin? I'm like, I'm not. 400 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.319 I'm being serious. This is what happened. He's like, okay, 401 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.079 man, well you need to be here. I'm like, okay, well 402 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:14.079 it's coming. So so then I come home, grab my basket of clothes, 403 00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:15.119 throw it in the back. I'm like, all right, I'm out 404 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.759 of here, start taking off. And then I stopped in South Haven because 405 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.640 they had the cheapest gas in the area, And so I stopped in Exodus 406 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.519 seventeen off one ninety six, pull up, start filling up the gas tank. 407 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:34.359 It's in my pocket. Mom's ID. Oh. First thought, I'll 408 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:41.400 just mail it back to her son't miss it. And then next thought, 409 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:47.279 aren't you trying to live life different? She gave you your ID so you 410 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.640 could go get your punk ass phone, your forty year old grown ass man 411 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.480 on your mom's family plan, and you can't take her back her efing license. 412 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.839 Yeah. I thought we're gonna try something different. So I said, 413 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:06.920 you're right. People at the pump probably thought I was nuts. Talking to 414 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.720 myself like this, and I was like, yeah, right, nuts, 415 00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.720 that's right. You're gonna look, you're gonna you're gonna change. You gotta 416 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:17.559 change, you know, And you'll have those moments in your life where you'll 417 00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:19.440 want to just half ash it or do stuff the way you've always done it. 418 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.640 But sometimes you gotta call yourself out like nope, if you want a 419 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.839 different life, if you want to change, it starts right now. So 420 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.960 I said, all right, So I drove it on over because my mom 421 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.480 was in South Haven at the hospital or not the hospital, at the hospital 422 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.039 place with my grandfather. So I went over there and it gave her her 423 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.279 license back and say, hey, here's this. I forgot to leave it 424 00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:42.559 on the table. And then I saw my grandpa one more time and I 425 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:45.640 showed them my ninety day coin. It was like, look, Grandpa, 426 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.400 I got the ninety day coin last night or whatever, and I'm going up 427 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.880 to Boyne City now to do sober living. I love you. And he 428 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:59.359 was like like, make some really crazy noises, and so I think that 429 00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:02.960 I love you, and I'm really scared because he looked like it. And 430 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.200 I got to see that though one more time and tell them that I loved 431 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.559 one more time than I jumped in the car and hit the road. An 432 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:12.599 hour and a half later, my mom texted and said Grandpa's gone. I 433 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:17.319 was like, whoa, it's wild man, Like I would have been kicking 434 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.519 myself to know that I could have had one more chance just to look at 435 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.000 him as say I love you one more time. And my grandpa and I 436 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.160 we didn't have the closest relationship. He was a hard working, that type 437 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:33.400 generation, you know, type of guy, and I do miss him, 438 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.680 you know, I do miss seeing him, but we weren't that close. 439 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.880 But still it was something that would really haunt me if I didn't have that 440 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.279 chance, or had that chance and let it slip on by, you know. 441 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.839 But that was and that's kind of a crazy story to start my recovery 442 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.160 journey, like out of treatment and I had a chance to do the wrong 443 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:53.200 thing and I didn't, and all these things had to set up. I 444 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.920 had the phone had to suck otherwise I wasn't gonna give my mom's ID, 445 00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.880 you know, Like it was just nuts, man. And when you look 446 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.039 at things like that, even being told you're not taking it serious in treatment, 447 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:08.000 that had to happen exactly how it did. So it's pretty nuts when 448 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.640 you can go back to those little moments in life and realize, like that's 449 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:18.279 that's kind of a big thing. Yeah, my story, My grandfather passed 450 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.400 about a year before I got sober, just over a year a year in 451 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:27.000 a couple of months. And he was more of a dad to me than 452 00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:32.000 my dad was. We're like a loving parent, you know, but he 453 00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:38.000 was the hot rider, construction tough you know, worker and like you said, 454 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:45.640 the hard worker. And he never got to see me pull myself out 455 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.039 of the addiction. He only got to see like the worst of it. 456 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:56.480 But he did say before he passed, we got to we knew he was 457 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.440 going to go in a couple of days, and so we all the whole 458 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:01.839 family got together when we're talking and we were just like going over memories and 459 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:05.960 stuff. It was really neat, and he got to kind of talk to 460 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.319 each of us and say what he wanted to say to us, and and 461 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:15.119 he just told he told me. And I don't know why he would have 462 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.839 said this, because I was such a failure at that point, but he 463 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.640 said that he was proud of me. He goes, I don't agree with 464 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.400 everything you've done, but I know that I haven't lived your life and know 465 00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:30.519 how difficult it is to be you. And I was just like it didn't 466 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:36.559 make any sense then, but it hits me hard now because within a year 467 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:40.279 or just over a year after that, like, I turned my life completely 468 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:44.839 around, and I do have those moments where I was like, I wish 469 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:49.119 I could choke, So Grandpa, what it's like now? So because I 470 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.400 know he'd be proud, because if he told me that he was proud of 471 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.240 me, then what would he say? Now? You know? Right? 472 00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:06.720 So that's what you can expect on recovery Dads. This podcast took to turnpect 473 00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:12.000 to Justin's mom. She listened to this podcast. I bet she hates it. 474 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:20.519 If she does, she will know. She'll think you're both as she 475 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.119 likes me though, yeah, she don't like match. Damn she likes me. 476 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.319 When you're talking to her and I make fun of you, she'll be 477 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:36.160 like, that's funny. Ship Wow, yep, good stuff. But we 478 00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:39.599 got the plants water today. Marnie did them. Okay, I did him 479 00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.119 on Monday, so a little bit of premature watering, but it's fine. 480 00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.759 Susan's cage yesterday and yesterday. Nice guy asked me to do it. The 481 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.519 other day when I was really busy. Nice it was like, yeah, 482 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:59.839 I'll get to it, and then came up with excuses problems by jay Z. 483 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:04.359 I had to ask him. I said, I if I told you 484 00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:06.960 that I wanted you to do something, and he said yeah, sure. 485 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.679 But then your boss says, hey, why don't you start working on this. 486 00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.760 What are you going to do? It takes time minutes to cleaner cage, 487 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.880 and the boss would appreciate a clean cage in the office. I learned 488 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.440 that lesson. He's yelled at us before for not cleaning our cage. I 489 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.920 got yelled at more times for not doing what he said right now. So 490 00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:30.840 this pos guy sounds like a dank man. The thing is is when I 491 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.119 do what he says when he says to do it, he's not a dick. 492 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.599 Interesting, but buddy has ten five dollars making a flyer take notes on 493 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.280 that. Oh speaking of flyers, Yeah, this mention this real quick before 494 00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:49.199 we jump off. Uh, it's pretty much a lock. I think they 495 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.360 just need money and we got that. So I mean not like we got 496 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.519 that money's but we got enough for the event.

Steam is not going to clean that 525 00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:14.679 stank off. We're gonna be going into one of the unrenovated I think it's 526 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:20.360 the men's treatment wards that they're gonna take us through half of its outside. 527 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:24.119 So it's gonna be really fun.

Anyway, they did 537 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:10.719 some like ghost hunting on macl Island. It's very weak, and then they 538 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:15.559 brought in the Ghost Brothers. Those guys are funny. That was pretty interesting. 539 00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:19.960 I watched some one with Jack Osborne with those guys. That was great. 540 00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:22.280 Like the ghosts were like Jamal run I was like, wait this time. 541 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:28.239 I never thought a ghosts would say like clearly, like there must be 542 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.360 a haunting going on, because it's more normally it's like help me or get 543 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.599 out, you know, a stupid shiit like that. It's always the same 544 00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.840 thing. It's like, if you're a name pooped himself, wouldn't you like 545 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:45.440 say like better stuff than get out or help me like like that? Yeah, 546 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:49.880 like like what if?

Okay, Like I mean that would suck. 549 00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:05.800 I mean, like this game is rigged. Being dead sucks anywhere. 550 00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:15.039 Being dead. He's using the spirit box, Come on, brother break Oh 551 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:20.159 yeah, you know I like them And they said that, uh, they're 552 00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.199 having people in recovery there is going to be kind of fun because a lot 553 00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:28.000 of the history was trying to figure out treatment for people with addictions and other 554 00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.239 mental health struggles back then, and it was a lot different than this now. 555 00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.960 So they're actually going to pull out some more of the historical parts of 556 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:40.519 that specifically for us, so it's going to be informational too, So it'll 557 00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:43.599 be fun. I really hope we can film the whole that'd be cool if 558 00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:45.280 you can film the whole thing. Yeah, and then we got to do 559 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:52.800 one shot of the batteries. I want to want to do fun promotional there. 560 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:55.440 I think it'd be cool and I think you'd enjoy it. So, 561 00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:00.800 like the week before or something like that, or may even before that, 562 00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.559 go out there on the site and start, yeah, earn some VIDs. 563 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.000 I think it'd be fun. Yeah, So what if? What if I 564 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.480 clearly put in a fake ghost in the video and it's so obvious that like 565 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:14.960 nobody would ever pass it up. But then we try passing off as a 566 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:23.519 real ghost. We just have Justin walking by a sheet. That was a 567 00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:27.960 ghost. That's a ghost, bro. We gonna do it with the bear 568 00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.760 mask underneath it, like Justin was not here, that was a ghost. 569 00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.960 Anyway.
