time on a podcast? Yes, it is nice. What about you,
Kim, you've kind of been on one before you, But well, I
left all of the time. I got nervous. Well yeah, so clearly
when you laugh on a podcast, that means you've done them. So that's
why you're not nervous now, right, right, I'm not nervous. I
got it now, no doubt. I thought it was coming. I'm good.
I can see it there it is. I'm okay, I'm good,

so awesome. No, but no, I hate to hate to kill the
moment. There Kim, Yeah right, no, but you got talking to
her like that. Okay, can you hear me like this? Yeah?
Okay, okay, So what happened there we go? When I walked in
and bitch say, here, here you go, close your eyes, hold
your hand out, and oh my god, they gave me my badge to
two one seven. Oh my goodness, and money called it right off the
bag. She was like she crying, and I was saying, I'm not
crying. I called my brother crying. We took pictures, you know how,
me and my first day with the badge. I took pictures and sent
it to my brother. I took pictures with everyone. What's your badge?
Say him? It says Kim Hopkins two seven recovery recovery coat. Oh yeah,
yeah, I'm getting there, okay, y'all man. Good tears,
they are good tears. In the happy tears. They're the craziest things.
You cannot control them, bastards. You cannot. You had the happy tears,
Corey, Yes, whoa. And it's something, isn't it. You
can't and you can't do nothing about it. You try to like stop talking
for me, because that's the only thing you can do. But the tears
are still coming, and you're like, that's happened to me. At the
baby shower, They're like, Corey, say something. Boy, I'm like,
hey, everybody come. I always try to blame something drink of water.
But it's so crazy though, man. And the first time it hit
me was when we were in Papa and they wanted me to speak, And
at that time, I thought like, hey, when they ask you to
speak, you know that's pretty cool, right, Like, hey, that's
pretty awesome. And they're like, you're going last, and I'm like,
oh, okay. Like at a concert they put the big hitters last.
No, no, at least this one, they put the good people first.
And they figured everybody's going home at the end, they ain't nobody gonna
be there. And it was raining, and I tried to like chicken out.
I didn't try to chicking out. I was just like, man,
nobody's gonna be here. I'm not trying to do this. It's raining and
thundering. Let's just go eat some pizza. And I think Marnie talked me
into sticking around to do. We were in the car leaving, I think,
and somebody came right out. They're like, hey, are you gonna
get out there? But you were about to leave, and I'm like,
we did not come all this way for you to leave for this opportunity,
so yeah, you're gonna speak. Yeah, I was leaving. I was
about two people passing, two people away from me and out of there.
So I parked the car again and I got up there and I was like,
started to tell my story or something, and I was talking about my
mom. Not like bad. I was like, oh man, mad me
clean my room, nothing like that, but it was just something about what
I put her through or something. And I was like, oh my god.
Yeah, And I left there with a microphone. I'm like, this
is not a place I want to be crying up here. You know.
It's like I got jokes for days. I had some good singers, and
then I get up there and I start crying. It really brought down the
room, you know. But a little motion and a little yeah. I
wasn't trying to show that people in Papua, Michigan, you know, none
of that. I was trying to act hard and it was not. It
was the opposite of backing hard. It's Corey up there crying. It's nice
since you mentioned being asked to speak tomorrow. The whole reason we're in Lansing.
You're gonna be the mc M. How you feel, how do I
feel? Are tired? You're a little nervous yet, No, it'd be
something if you start crying the morning, that's what will pick me out.
But I don't think I'm gonna tell any of those stories. I'm just gonna
keep it. Hey, that was them, and this is this guy.
He's from the Senate House place there you go to microphone like, all right,
give me that back, all right. Next, we're gonna talk to
the drum people here. You go, Oh, no more than that.
What am I supposed to say? Right? Oh? You know what you're
gonna say? All kinds of crazy things I don't like. Like Christian gave
you a wide open slate on whatever you could say. Like, really,
if you really need to bring that up again, he said, keep it
peaching thirteen and to keep a pushing Marnie, not you baby, any second.
We're here in Lansing, money, don't you push there? But here
we canna keep pushing some of my wife over there. It was up girl,
That's what we're saying. Though. It is like you're gonna you don't
know what you're gonna say right now, but we know you're gonna say like
you're just that guy. You you're you're good at filling I don't want to
say filling air, but you are. You know when it comes to airtime,
like you got something to say. You're quick on your w That's why
they chose you to do this. My guy, you're gonna be great.
So you're a great speaker. Even I think you'd be disappointed if you didn't
bring some Corey, wouldn't field to the stage. Well, I think I
gotta keep Corey going to the off the stage. I told you that in
the car earlier. I was like, I think I'll be fine as long
as I just do some Corey. But just not all the way Corey.
It wouldn't feel like just you just get like that. Maybe just stop at
the r get the third third grade Corey. Should I just go there and
start making them names? Oh my god, at Osborne coming up in a
little bit. Justin's gonna really bring you back to your radio days. On
let me tell you a story. I'll just start making enough stories about times
I hung out with rock stars that I really didn't hang out with them.
I was hanging out with Ted Nugia one time, and uh, he pissed
himself because, uh he saw some backstraps on this buck that he just couldn't
resist. So he was actually peeing in the toilet when we saw I actually
was in the little makeshift toilet. They got outside and he peed all over
his legs to go grab his bow. Oh my, that's Ted NuGen every
It's believable around here though. Michigan hanging out with Whittemore once coming her Oh
man, dumb shit she did. Were just outside vaping. She likes that.
That'd be great doing sling blade boys. Yeah, Governor Whitmer, she
likes biscuits and blustered on them. They that's where just was going with this.
I don't think I can do any of that stuff that. I'm just
gonna just keep it moving. I think you're gonna break on something. You're
gonna say some kind of story. I just want you to say a sentimental
one. I want to see you. No no, no, no,
you don't have everybody. I be a crown. Well, I gotta give
a shout out to my wife. So that's that's the one. I'm kind
of worried about. I'm just like, oh, she's crossing her legs and
not to deliver a breaknant to see me start three cocks. Yeah, but
getting here though, was not easy. Oh my lord. Yeah, the
devil was as me. He was asking me, Kim, you believe in
the devil? Hold on? Yes? Okay, well all right, I
gotta make sure we have different views on things. Oh my good, here
we go. I feel like he was after every car that was with you
along the way here and see when you're doing good, that's what he does.
He comes after you. He'll test you. Well, that slowed down
because if I would have outran him, we were smashed into that car that
was illegally passing the people that were clean side of the road. Yeah,
we're in front of everybody. We were the first ones to stop, and
like we got to witness them almost hitting us and going what the fuck is
going on? And then the guy that was cleaning and the cleaning truck he
gets out because I looked at him. I raised my hands like, what's
going on? Dude? He got on. He's like so he gets out
and he kind of looks at people and he's like, well, I could
tell he was pissed, Oh see, we see that. And then I
said, well, let's just go now, and so we went up and
then as we approached the one, there was a truck with the boat.
He got the corry, the people behind him got the cory. Everybody that
was like in the wrong. What was happening is there was the It was
this machine of a truck or something. Yeah, they were like cleaning off
the side of the road so then the paint trucks could come through and paint
the white line. And there these people are behind them, and it was
no passing zone or something, and they were a little pissed off that they're
little white people kill their little world just got rocked and they had to wait
a couple of minutes. Just a little rocking. There they go crazy lanes
that line saying you can't pass for other people. I have money in the
bank and I vote let's get going. They started passing everybody and then but
there was this long line and then other people were like, oh, this
reminds me of Arkansas. Let's just follow along. So then they just jumped
right behind them and they're like going, but meanwhile there's nowhere for them to
go. Because there's cars coming the other way, which is the way we
were going. Let's say we were going northbound. I have no idea because
I have anyway east justice all right, we were going east, they were
going west, and there's probably a quarter mile maybe longer half a mile of
backed the cars and these asses. Probably at the end of it was like,
well, I'm just going to go around them. Did you see that
Burgundy car go around? Did y'all see that? No? That was when
you and I were before. He was coming straight toward us. I looked
like, what is he doing? He then swerved into our shoulders, so
we did not We come to this one line he going. He got out
the line on our in our lane coming toward us, and I had to
get over there. Then I saw then I saw ge with guns on it.
Oh my god, we're gonna say, justin, I was gonna say,
I gave a bunch of corries out as we as I rolled right behind
you. If you're unfamiliar with if you're unfamiliar with the corry that it's called
giving some of the finger. I gave it so much we just named it
the Cory, and I wanted to have one in my car that would flashed
and I could hit a button and then someone saw my idea. Not the
first time that's happened, No, but I think that the army truck that
Jim was just Jim, Jim Kim, but anyway, like it had a
fifty caliber on top of it and everything, And we were the last ones
that went through there, and he was finally irritated with having to sit there
because where as we go by it, he punches it and pulls through where
you got me. I'm like, where are we, Mitch, Wait a
minute, I'm looking at see cars coming my way, Army tanks coming down
the street, and were near the woods. So you know, I was
about to say, that's some runch. You know, we don't go in
the woods. Too many trees. Army truck. Oh no, oh lord,
yeah, y'all do. Yeah, that was pretty crazy. And so
we get through that and filled a bunch of people off. It's crazy.
And then we stop at the gas station from it. We kind of talk
about that, and then we get back on the road and we jet out
of there. Mitch and Gym they just kept on going. They didn't even
stop. They didn't need a restroom. Bread Jim, but we didn't.
We kept going. We we didn't even stop, you know. They so
they're ahead of us and we started going back and there's just some stupid people,
man, some really stupid driving going on. And we were past there
was like this RV and then there was a jeep that was following them,
and they were just cruising along. It's seventy speed limit is seventy five.
Well but you can go seventy. I guess we just kind of get the
right line. But when they're passing, this truck was going sixty nine,
you know, and it's like one of these Well behind that semi truck was
this other like truck that mixes like, I don't know, stuff, maybe
dirt or something in the back of it. It was big. It's kind
of the kids that your kids play with. I think that was a concrete
truck concre Well it didn't, it didn't have the mixer thing on it.
But it's like a Tonka truck, but bigger in real life and green and
ugly. And so as I'm passing that guy, he decides I'm going to
pass the semi now because I'm going seventy one. So I see his blinker
kind of turned on like a corner of my eyes. I'm like parallel with
him, like what's he doing? And he starts like heading over and I'm
like it's I honked the horn. Yeah, honked, give him a honk,
gave him a couple of corries, slowed down and give him some more
corries. And you just see it too. The wife is in this car.
He's like, yeah, that's because he's like, whoa. I don't
know if that was called I think he saw you. I'm like, no,
he's going to see me. I'll slow down to make sure he does.
He didn't. He didn't even pass. He slowed away the hell down.
You could tell. I don't know if he was smoking some of that
Michigan legal weed, which he's not supposed to do since he has a job
where he drives right, was paying attention to his oncoming He's probably just cruising
down of the road listening to Sublime. Man just wins. I think we
get paid Friday. What I got. I'm past this dude, man,
and let's go ship. This guy's oh my god, it's gonna get me
the finger, but it looks pissed. Just slow down and slow down.
We'll get there. When we get you on the clock, man, you
gotta mind yourself. Bro, he got slow down, man, tell Stoner's
talk in my mind. Once we got off Highway ten, we're pretty smooth
sailing. Yeah. We just listened to who was we listen? I had
her listen to one of the podcasts I like to listen. I was like,
okay, just looks disgusted. Look at Marty with that face all the
way. So I think he did it on purpose, I did. I
think he did that so that way I won't hold on, hold on justin.
I think he did it so I won't talk because these people talking,
So what do I have to talk about? So all I'm doing just looking
out the window looking it was it was payback for making the entire car smell
like Vienna sausages. The entire one can. That's all it took. It's
like opening an on me Moday for before you gets to go off. Wa
minute. He had that broodcast on all the way. I didn't even have
to talk, just locking the window. I would love to see that car,
right. She was laughing. It was okay, some of it was
funny, but he just just was looking out the window. I was on
the Blue bus kidnapped. I had to keep my ass open. Army trains.
I have to keep my hans open. Army tanks. A great transition
into Justin with THEE and you had to keep your butt open. Had I
had to keep my eyes open. Was wag your eyes? My eyes open?
Here we go. I was just locking the window. It's like sp
licking the window. Keep my ass opened and scared. I got tranks coming
at me after after the trank, we were fully puckered though them. Tranks
was coming just flying out. My ride was fun. We laughed and joked
the whole way down. Man, Justin, you rode with Carrie Corey and
Jesse Ye. Yeah, we just cracked jokes the whole way. I don't
even think we listened to one song. No, like I ended up turning
down the radio on our way down. Well that was nice. I was
so glad you were transporting your wife that's pregnant and she we knew that she
needed a pee at some point in time. We weren't gonna be the ones
to stop, so we were so happy. My finally, Wow, Justin's
been we've been on the strip before. Yeah, and we usually do stop
at that gas station, and that's why I asked. Mitch was like,
well, we're not gonna stop, We're gonna keep on going. I hope
you used the vampoo. I strategically limited my liquid intake prior to the ride.
Yeah, because usually I'm hitting the bathroom every like thirty five minutes.
It's not past hour and a half. Our three hour drives, so you
break it up an hour and a half. And it was like our ten
after the gas station. So once we make it there, it wasn't too
bad. Some my honey, can you make it? So Mitch saved seem
the way we drive it's an hour or ten minutes. Yeah, but he
beat us here drives it's an hour and a half. I mean, Mitch
drives an hour twenty Mitch, we can't stop now. It's okay you're saying.
You're saying that to who got here first, because you didn't stop at
the stopping point, the rest stop point. You kept going. You saw
us over there, and you're like, I gave it's the Cory and just
hit the gas and window. Yeah, ducky, come the taints. That
was right after that. It really was. I was like looking at the
road, I didn't even see you guys over there. And I was like
half kidding to Kim, like we ain't stopping, But then she took it
serious and I was like, all right, we're gonna go all the way
here. I had to piece so bad when we got here, though,
we're not letting. I didn't drink anything in the room unless we charge your
card. I'm like, do it give me in that room, please?
Yeah, So you should have waited, you should have stoped and took a
rust with the rest of us at the halfway point. I think he might
have been in there. I will have to say, your new two seventeen
ride very nice. Yeah, some people go to treatment a little bit.
Yeah. Well, see a lot of people think that we should have just
a beater because and here's the thing, man, and we're just going to
talk about the two seventeen recovery rides for just a second before we get back
into you fam talk. But back in Benton Harbor, when I was doing
my outpatient I would have to call Meridian, that were my insurance at the
time. And there's this company that worked for Meridian called MTM
