It is the thirty first of May twenty twenty three. My name's Corey
Winfield and this is the two seventeen Recovery podcast. Coming to you from the
North Studio today. And joining me in the North studio is Justin Burke Justin.
How you doing, my man? I'm doing fabulous. I'm glad you're
here. I don't think you've Yeah, you've done one podcast from here anything
before a couple. And joining me from the building but not in the studio
is Mitchell. Mitchell, how are you today? Man? I'm doing great.
The weather up here in the front office is fabulous. So I didn't
like it. At the third time I walked to there today, I got
like a pain in my side. Yeah, I got in the foot.
Yeah, has something to do with it. Just storm drill bad, I
think, yep. Yeah. Oh you know what do you know, man?
M do you think every day's sunshine rainbow? Well? I guess you
wouldn't be rainbows. But what's that? How's that saying? Now and not
every day sunshine and rainbows? Is that not a saying? What am I
doing here? Yeah? I'm not for sure. Not every day is rainbow.
There's a saying that we use, right, especially in recovery. Not
every day it's gonna be sunshine rainbows. Hey, that's what I just said.
But it sounded weird when I said, Yeah, it doesn't sound right.
He asked the boss out there if she's ever heard that expression. Hey,
boss, boss Marnie, Um, have you ever heard the term sunshine
and rainbows? Is that a term? Sounds weird to all of us?
Say, like if you're gonna have like not every day can be great?
Like, not every day can be sunshine and rainbows. That's it? Oh,
she said, it's right. Maybe it's because we're saying it in a
derogatory way maybe so it doesn't seem right. Oh. She said, you
can interchange anything cute and girly, like like unicorns and rainbows. Oh,
lollipops and puppies. Oh okay, okay, tell her, thanks, thank
you. Okay, Well we got that settled. I'm glad that that we
did. But yeah, not everybody. Not every day can be kittens and
puppies, you know, they can be sometimes m MOREL mushroom ice cream.
You know, it's like you think it's gonna MOREL mushroom ice cream. No.
Yeah, you think, oh man, that sounds great, and then
you eat and you're like, oh my god, it's horrible. Who even
you screwed up two things. You shucrewed up ice cream and you screwed up
moral mushrooms. Yeah. So yeah, so those those days where you think
everything is gonna be great and everything is gonna be going away, and then
it just doesn't. So that's kind of happening with the weather today. Is
that a real thing? Yeah? I had it once in Charlotvoi, Michigan.
Was it good? No, it's horrible. Yeah, it's absolutely disgusting.
It's not okay, No, it's not because, like I said,
I was pissed because I like moral mushrooms and I like ice cream. But
you put them together and I don't know, maybe somebody actually really put a
dog turn in there and like we're gonna tell people it's moral mushroom. I
don't think they did that, but it wasn't. It was not good So
if you're ever out and about and you're like, hey, I want to
try some more ould mushroom ice cream, I mean you can, but I'm
just telling you it sucks. So thanks for the heads up. That's what
I do, man. You know, I try to give people good recommendations
on ice cream, and I just I think I just gave you one there.
So I'm glad that you guys are here though, um Justin you you're
web page on two seventeen recovery dot com. I had a little makeover today.
Yeah it looks amazing. Yeah it looks really cool. And say fabulous.
Oh no, all right, now you gotta now you're trying to pick
on Justin. Now you gotta explain the story what's going on. Fabulous is
his favorite word. I heard him say it twice today. But it's a
good word. Yeah, it's a fun word in recovery. M I mean,
how many fabulous days do we have when we were using none point exactly.
I'm just saying if I had a nickel for every time he said the
word fabulous or tried to sell somebody a shirt. Now, you guys have
been beefing all day. I love this because just as usually you're out on
the road, you know, taking people to from treatment. She had some
office time today. And I think Mitch said to you earlier, well,
he was giving a crap about the shirt. And what I'm talking about is
when we were live at you fam, we sent you out with the wireless
and you were to talk to people in the crowd, and you did,
and we finally got a lady who actually was a real person and giving a
real story that was real heartfelt, and right when she gets into it,
you're just like, yeah, I want to buy shirt. Yeah, there's
tons of people like like the most inappropriate time, and you did it and
it was awesome. So that's where Mitch is coming from with that. And
he kind of was busting your balls earlier, saying that you want you to
say that to everybody that walks by or something, And you said that you
listened to the piecast that he had done like him and Adam, and you
said that he was busting your balls on that podcast as well every podcast since
then. And then he almost at it to the mailman Toddy, Oh are
you laughing? I can't stop laughing. I'm trying really hard. So you
said fabulous day or a T shirt. I think you tried to sell him
a fabulous T shirt? Should we make those? Of This gonna be a
thing now, guys, fabulous T shirts. I'm feeling fabulous. Yeah,
sober on the front, fabulous in the back. She's seventeen on these arm
Okay, I'm not making them, though I've seen the process. I do
need a new heat press, though, so let's think at the business cards
ordered. Then my next objective is to get a new heat press. So
we'll do that and we'll have some fabulous shirts. Now, who's who's gonna
set? Is just gonna sell those too? Sure, he's kind of tried
to sell at least two of them, two of them today. He gives
them to everybody, gives a ride to Hey, have a fabulous day,
throws some shirt, winks at him. Does that that wink from the movie
that we're gonna or not not a movie, but the little sketch we put
on short film. Yeah, it'll be released about a week or so.
Oh that was fabulous. You can't tell me he wasn't the funniest guy in
that. I don't know. You guys are all really good, but Justin's
look was so funny. And yeah, I think he dropped a couple of
fabulouses in there. Oh yeah, that's where I'm getting it from. Really
was that? I mean there was like five to seven fabulouses. I think
I covered them about too. Well, that's good. I'm glad, glad.
We're having fun today. But you know, our web pages did get
a makeover. We were kind of thinking about it today and it's just like,
look, man, there's different ways that we can reach people and connect
with people in one of them, you know, as our website and through
social media. So Adam Stevens was like, yeah, you know, I
need to actually get back on Facebook and start doing that kind of stuff again.
And we're gonna record like just short little clips of people introducing themselves and
the meetings that they host here at the two seventeen Recovery Center, because some
of the meetings, like the meetings that we have here and that the community
is putting on, they're not my meetings, but the people that have them,
they pick whatever they want, you know, as their meeting, meaning
like they don't they're not picking an a stuff like that. They're picking like
different pathways. And Mitch Years is spiritual and justin years is living in early
recovery, and there's a smart Recovery meeting Norms. I think Norm's gonna be
in podcast on Tuesday. Awesome is his search for serenity, and I kind
of pitched it to him as like, hey, you know, I want
you maybe do this video because I know some people don't want their name and
face out there. You know. I think everybody though that has meetings is
all about it, you know, like nobody's like trying to be like,
oh no, I'm not in recovery. Don't look at me. We're all
out there going No, we're in recovery. Like look at us, you
know, like we're doing good and you can too, right, And I
think it's cool because our meeting program has been a big success, but Norm's
killing it big time. Yeah yeah, yes, I'm proud of him.
And you could just see the passion that he has for it too. Oh
yeah, and I noticed that you were in the other other day with him
for quite a while. Social relationship all twelve of us. Oh yeah,
it's too many, No, but all joking aside. He um, he's
doing good, you know, and doing great, And like I said,
the passion really kind of comes out of him, and that's what inspires us,
you know, like Justin's got a few years. I got a few
years, Martie's got a few years. You've got a couple of years.
But when you see those new guys come in and they have that passion and
you see it start to click with them, and that's that's amazing, you
know, And that's why I kind of do what I do, and I
think this is what you guys do what you do as well. You know,
it's it's seeing those guys make it and then they're sharing that with other
people and then other people. You know, it's just like a like a
wildfire in California just keeps spreading it does it's fabulous, fabulous. I was
waiting for Justin to say, but he just agreed. Should the fabulous shirts
be more than the sober shirts? They might have to be. You know,
it would be really fabulous, as if you got like a two for
one special. Ooh, you're soberly fabulous, soberly fabulous, any one buy
shirt litter? Well, okay, so here's here's a here's a question for
you, Mitch and Justin. You can answer after Mitch does, which shirt
would sell quicker a shirt they had Justin's face on it that said fabulous,
or shirt with Justin's face on it that said want to buy a shirt?
Like if you only had ten dollars, which one would you buy? Wait?
His face was on both. It could be on both. Yes,
they're both the same. I guess I'd have to say, do you want
to buy a shirt by T shirt? You shouldn't be sure T shirt.
I can't. We'll have to go back and listen to it. I can
pull it up, actually right now. It might take me a singing.
Oh no, I can't because I'm on the I'm pretty sure it's you want
to buy a shirt? Oh man, So the next people, let's sign
up at two seventeen recovery dot com slash contest to win a shirt. We'll
get a want to buy a want to buy a shirt shirt, and then
I'll put I know, because that means I have to work and do.
Let's say I was gonna put a QR code on the back of the shirt
where people can scan it. It'll take them to our store where they can
buy a shirt. But then I, oh, I'm gonna weed it anyway.
Yeah, that is true. You just gotta press them. We just
need new press. But still I have to put it up on the website
and put a shirt link on there and people can buy it. I mean
it's really not that hard, but just too busy making just and page.
It looks really nice. Well, thanks man, I really appreciate it.
Yeah, we did a little photography work today and like, just I don't
know, sometimes it's easier than what it seems to be, you know,
like because you've been with me, Justin Rump setting up like lights and all
kinds of dumb stuff and yeah, like green screen. Yeah, and like
it doesn't always have to be that way, you know, Like we took
some really good pictures today and yeah, I had one light because we didn't
need I mean, that's a photography, you know, it's about lighting and
stuff too, So it wasn't the light that I wanted, but we kind
of made it work. So I think it looks pretty cool. So yeah,
get a chance check out Justin's page at two seventeen recovery dot com.
Slash Justin Now, I always say slash and most people say forward slash,
but you think of what I'm talking about. I think it's pretty common to
use a forward slash. But yeah, but I mean just to say slash
like the guitar player. I was just thinking that that's fabulous. Yeah.
Yeah, anyway, check out justin Space And Mitch, I don't know if
you've done this yet, but you have a blog on your page. I
was trying to write it when you pulled me into this. Hm, okay,
don't let us stop you man. Just you can write and talk and
hold a microphone sometime. But what is your first blog going to be about?
It's gonna be a h expanded story. I kind of set it up
like the like the starting line of a race, and I'm just gonna do
like my bio on the website, but then just a little bit more more
detail. Yeah. I think it's it's a tool that we can use,
hey, to help ourselves, and you know, to kind of let other
people realize that who's here? No one? Who just left? Marny?
What the hell? Man cut five o'clock. I guess you're supposed to stop
her for an exit interview. Yeah, she should have asked her if she
wanted to buy a shirt. That's just a fabulous day. Oh man.
Not everybody can do it. Not everybody can do it. Justin. Nope,
sit still. But Justin did a blog already today too, knock that
out of the park. And that's again on his page. And so those
are some of the new things that you're gonna find at two seventeen recovery dot
com. And I'll put them as soon as I can on our app as
well. But you can get there either way through the app just by going
to the website, so it's not not too bad. Nice. Well you

let you leave. But thanks to finish my blog. Oh yeah you do.
