going to wherever they may have been going,

10
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.759

Remember that Sleepy Time tea. Listen

12
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.880
sleep. Yeah. It was pretty
Uh, podcast wasn't right on point,

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.640
but he decided to take a little
news. Hello, what snooze? I

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.439
thought you said lows no snooze.
If you rewind that, I think that

15
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:12.480
might be a drop. But no, And I've had people tell me this

16
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.319
a long time ago, I mean
ever since the start is they would listen

17
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.959
to us at night and it's something
that they would go to sleep too.

18
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.480
And I don't mind that at all. No, it means that we have

19
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.079
soothing conversations. Yeah, very And
somebody might be listening right now, going,

20
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.879
Yeah, that's what I do.
I turn on at night and I

21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.120
fall the ft to sleep. Right. Good for you. Listen Scott's to

22
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:42.159
today. Oh, the Reservation Conversation
podcast. Yeah, that's what really put

23
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.200
him to sleep. But I thought
it was really good. Oh man,

24
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.959
Yeah that the podcast actually really it
is good. Yeah, and I'm helping

25
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:57.920
them kind of started off, and
it's called The Reservation Conversation podcast and you

26
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.959
can look it up Reservation Conversation this
near app store, Get the app.

27
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.239
They're not very long podcast. I
think one might be like twenty twenty five

28
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.000
minutes. The rest are like ten
fifteen minutes. But he's talking about different

29
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.759
topics, you know, and some
of the things that go on, you

30
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.680
know, on the reservation, you
know, and some of the things that

31
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.400
just affect us all in general.
Yeah, there was some about drug court,

32
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.280
I think the last one. Ye. And he's really good. Scott

33
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.560
likes to talk, yeah, he
does. I thought it was an interesting

34
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.960
I didn't realize he played such a
big factor in the whole drug court type

35
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.879
thing about going to different areas and
trying to get it started in everything else,

36
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.159
Like, I didn't really know much
of Scott's story. Like Scott was

37
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.240
a trainer when I took Recovery Coach
class sing oh really yeah, he was

38
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.400
one of the trainers and one of
the classes that I took. I don't

39
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.639
know if it was actually the recovery
coaching, where the messaging, where the

40
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.879
ethics, but in there somewhere he
was one of the trainers. So I

41
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.400
never really got to know his story
very well, but knew him as a

42
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.680
person and everything. Oh and it
was kind of nice to hear some of

43
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.919
his story today through his podcast.
Yeah. Yeah, he gets into it

44
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.879
and he dropped an F bomb.
I'm so proud of him. Yeah.

45
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.759
I told him that because we went
to the he invited us to the baseball

46
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.479
game, which you went to and
you went with and that was fun.

47
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.639
I told him. I was like, dude, you dropped an F bomb

48
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.719
in there, and I left it
because why not, you know. And

49
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.479
he was talking about mental health and
how he goes to see a therapist,

50
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.360
and he said, well, I
go see a therapist. He's like,

51
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.000
because I'm fed up. But he
dropped the F bomb, you know.

52
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.840
Yeah. I didn't even really realize
it when he said it because it was

53
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:37.680
just so natural. It's not like
he emphasized it or anything. It was

54
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.360
just a natural, flowing F bomb. Yeah, which is the best kind

55
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.759
of F bomb. If you're gonna
drop one, right, I've dropped three

56
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.560
already in this podcast. I want
to go back and listen to it.

57
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.960
You can pick him up doubt it
when a shirt, yeah, I lied

58
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.240
about that. And speaking of shirts, you have a shirt that you're gonna

59
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.520
start hanging out at your meetings.
Yeah, and it says be less that's

60
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.319
right, which I thought was pretty
cool. I know Adam has a shirt

61
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:09.879
for Recovery Dads. Had a guy
come in today and asked about that meeting.

62
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.520
He's like, wait, what is
this Recovery Dads. He's like,

63
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:14.240
I'm a dad, I'm a recovery
and I was like, oh, well,

64
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.199
it's on Sundays ten am. You
know, they talk about dad stuff,

65
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.519
you know, like, and it's
funny because his daughter, the guy

66
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.120
that was talking to me about this, his daughter's like No, his daughter's

67
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.480
twenty or twenty one. Wow.
But there's still the things that you have

68
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.639
to go through. And he was
talking about some of the stuff in the

69
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.199
teenage years, and it's like,
oh my gosh. You know, like

70
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:41.879
there's different levels of dad dadding,
dattening. Yeah, I think I'm at

71
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.959
fathering. But you just went with
it. I appreciate that. Yeah,

72
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.879
daddening. Yeah, there's different levels
of daddening that. That's a new word.

73
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.040
I just made up new slang.
I heard it, yeah, first

74
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.040
time. So if you're dad ending
out there, that's the luck to you,

75
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.680
you know, especially with you know, teenage daughters and then early twenties

76
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:06.839
daughters and I know mine spirit thirteen
in like eighteen days. Wow. Yeah.

77
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.879
Now did you have to talk with
her? No, my mom did.

78
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:18.319
WHOA. I would be kind of
leary about that. I think I

79
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.560
think I would want to have the
talk. I didn't really want to have

80
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:29.040
to talk with her necessarily. No, you didn't want to know. I

81
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.959
feel like my mom did a sophisticated
job with it. I didn't hear it,

82
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.839
but you know, at least my
daughter would be more receptable of who

83
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.160
was giving her the talk. I
think she'd be a little weird out if

84
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.199
it was you. I guess,
oh no, not really. I mean

85
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.600
we talk about a lot of different
things, like we're pretty open. But

86
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.600
at the same time, you know, in today's society, someone might misconstrued

87
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:03.879
to talk. What if you sat
down with your X I'm zoom and said,

88
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.040
Okay, we're gonna have this talk
with her. Let me know at

89
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.279
seven o'clock, pull me up on
zoom and I'll sit in. We'll have

90
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.839
to talk. Yeah. I don't
think her mom really wanted to do it

91
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.720
neither. I don't know. Oh. That's when he started with guilt tripping

92
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.160
her, like, look, you
know this is we gotta do this,

93
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.000
and because there's there needs to be
somebody that kind of gives her the be

94
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.480
careful. Here's what guys will do, Here's what guys will say. Um,

95
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.439
not all guys. You know,
some guys are are very shy,

96
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:41.519
some guys are afraid, and other
guys are not so much ruthless, relentless.

97
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.839
And I had a guy he was
like, I'm trying to think of

98
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.680
who it was. I'll call him
out my name if I can remember it.

99
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.680
But he was like, look,
man, if I hit on every

100
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.639
single girl. That's more odds.
He's like, yeah, I'm gonna get

101
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.680
shot down ninety nine percent of the
time that one that one time, it's

102
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.399
all worth it. And he didn't
care if he made an ass out of

103
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:11.800
himself. He was trying out of
his league. He didn't care. I

104
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.319
mean every single person, and I
can't remember who it was. That's horrible.

105
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.120
Yeah, but that was the strategy
behind it. Was like, look,

106
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.879
I'm gonna get lucky one of these
times. I was like, yeah,

107
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.959
but that's probably probably not lucky for
the girl, you know. And

108
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.120
I was in stream at this one
guy. I was saying, and I

109
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.079
might have talked about the story in
the podcast before, but it was at

110
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:38.879
turning point in Grand Rapids, and
this guy was like, I don't know

111
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.879
what he was doing. He was
listening to like gangster rap videos every morning

112
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.079
and it was just getting old and
we would just turn it off and he

113
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.839
couldn't really do much about it because
of the whole place was like, no

114
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:54.160
turn that off. But anyway,
I was saying that I don't remember anything

115
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:59.360
good that ever happened to me while
I was drunk, and little Eminem,

116
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.879
Little Reese his pieces got up there
and he was like, yeah, well

117
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.560
a lot of good stuff happened.
I mean I was drunk, and we

118
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.560
all kind of looked at him like
really, dude, and he was like,

119
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.439
yeah, man on times, this
girl, man we was drinking,

120
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.600
she got real drunk. Man,
I ended up hooking up with her.

121
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.800
And I'm like, dude, that
was that was probably the worst night of

122
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.360
her life, like her walk of
shame that next day or whatever. It

123
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.079
was like she was probably like had
to get tested and I mean it was

124
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.160
it was probably a very scary ordeal
for her and hopefully that stopped her from

125
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.839
ever using drugs drinking anymore. Right, But it's like, dude, like

126
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.200
seriously like that that that's that that
doesn't even qualify as a good something good

127
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.720
that happened to your life, you
know, like someone the see That's what

128
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.480
I'm saying, Like these conversations,
you know, should be had with the

129
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.720
young women of this world, you
know, or young whatever you want to

130
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.679
call yourself, Like just because the
other young whatever they want to call themselves.

131
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.279
Now someone like I said, some
are scary or some are scared,

132
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.840
some are scary, some of are
peer pressured into doing more stuff than what

133
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.159
they want to do. And you
know some of these kids too. People

134
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.799
are molested when they're young, and
studies show and of course I'm not a

135
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.200
doctor or a therapist or anything like
that, but I'd have read some stuff

136
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:24.639
and study show that people that are
molested have that tendency to be more aggressive

137
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:33.279
aggressive, or they're they're exploring more
and and way way faster than others are.

138
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.720
So it's just like, gotta be
careful, man, watch your watch

139
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.000
your kids and be the parent right, you know. And when you're in

140
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.399
recovery, you might think, oh, man, I screwed up. I

141
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.759
wasn't there as much as I should
be or should have been. Well,

142
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.559
you got today, don't you.
Are you sober now? Like let's start

143
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.879
now. There's nothing wrong with that, No, exactly. You don't have

144
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.159
to beat yourself up for the last
five years. Like if you haven't seen

145
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.840
your kids in five years, okay, well, like that phone call,

146
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.279
write that letter, you know,
make that connection if you need to,

147
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.559
and they'll be eighteen one day,
and they'll be twenty and twenty five and

148
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.399
thirty you'll have grandkids. Like I
think people get caught up on the whole

149
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.039
Oh no, I missed four years
of my child's life, Well, are

150
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.159
you getting better so that you can
be there for the rest of their child's

151
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.600
life, because they're I mean,
eighteen years goes by quick, and if

152
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.159
you really want to think about it, it's only like thirteen or fourteen after

153
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.759
that. They don't want nothing to
do with your ass. Anyway. I

154
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.000
talked about this already, you know, like being the grandparent. I think

155
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.159
we talked about it on a podcast. Yeah, and I like the great

156
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.879
grandparent like probably hates life, and
it's like, well, these kids don't

157
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.480
even know me or like me.
I can't remember their damn names, and

158
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.039
the don't want nothing to do with
me, right, I just give him

159
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:56.679
money every year for their birthday and
Christmas. Yeah. So yeah, that's

160
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.200
just such a short part. And
yeah you missed it, if you did

161
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.039
miss it, but I can't do
nothing about that. You know, pick

162
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.960
yourself up and do what you can
to build that relationship with them, now,

163
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.159
Yeah, that's all you can do. I know, with me and

164
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.879
my daughter, I didn't see her
for a couple of years, and she

165
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:15.720
instant like. I didn't hide nothing
from her, you know, I told

166
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.120
her I was out messing up and
getting high and getting drunk, and everything

167
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.559
else, because I wanted to know
the real life aspects of real life addiction.

168
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.320
So that way, you know,
she could see how easily it messed

169
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.320
me up, and she was old
enough to remember it and to realize what

170
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.320
I was actually doing, even though
I didn't really use a round her.

171
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.919
But I wasn't home. I was
always gone, so it played a factor

172
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.120
in her life, you know.
And then she was just kept from me

173
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.840
after I got out of treatment and
whatnot for a while, so that really

174
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.559
messed with her too, knowing that
I was wanting to see her and she

175
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.759
couldn't see me, like we both
wanted to see each other, and her

176
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.320
mom was just like, no gonna
happen. Like I ended up having to

177
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.679
take her to court, so like
for dad's out there, like you have

178
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:13.240
rights to take them the court.
Don't be a skirt, right as long

179
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.120
as you're doing what you need to
be doing, you know, living that

180
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.080
good life. I mean, because
some people could probably think, yeah but

181
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.240
my past or yeah I did this, or it doesn't matter. It's what

182
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.679
are you doing right now right?
And that's what the judge told me.

183
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.000
He he actually commended me for going
to treatment and everything else can change my

184
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:37.720
whole life around, Like it's really
rewarding to hear that so doesn't have to

185
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.440
end like you think, oh,
well, I probably just keep drinking or

186
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.240
keep using because it doesn't matter or
anyone. No, it does matter,

187
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.039
right, It truly does. And
you can change some things around. And

188
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.480
you know it starts with a therapist. If you need outpatient tream, you

189
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.000
need inpatient tream, I mean,
who knows, you know, but make

190
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.919
some phone calls. If you got
Medicaid, you got insurance, you know,

191
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.200
flip that card around and call that
number on there and be like,

192
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.759
here's my situation. Here's when they
need a lot of people sometimes are afraid,

193
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.159
you know, like they have great
insurance that will pay for them to

194
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.960
go to like really cool places,
not like California or whatever, Florida's little

195
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.720
coughing Rehab or anything like that.
But I'm just saying, like, there's

196
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.320
some really nice places that you can
go to, but they're too afraid to

197
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.480
reach out because well, first of
all, what am I going to say

198
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.000
that the person on the other end
of the phone, I need help.

199
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.360
I don't want to have help,
you know, like I want to do

200
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.200
this on my own. But you're
gonna need some help. And that's what

201
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:35.480
those places are there for. Before
you end up screwing everything up, losing

202
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.480
your job, finding yourself in jail, then not having that good insurance,

203
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.960
you're gonna be like, damn,
I wish I would have went when I

204
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.200
had the good insurance. Exactly.
I know. You brought it up to

205
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.240
me last week about how you're gonna
make it mandatory for all your employees to

206
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.879
have a therapist. Yeah, did
you let everyone else know? Not yet?

207
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.000
Not yet? Well, like that
should be a number one goal when

208
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.960
you get from when you get back, we should all have therapists. Yep.

209
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.759
If you're not, you're fired.
Right. Mental health is serious.

210
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.519
Why did you get fired because I
didn't have a therapist? Ye? You're

211
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.639
stupid, right, And we all
through things, Yeah, we do.

212
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:18.039
And I was talking to the other
day and they're like, well, I

213
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.720
don't need a therapist, and I
said, yeah, okay, yeah you

214
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.879
do. Probably Mitch. No,
it wasn't Mitch. You Mitch knows he's

215
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.360
a therapist. It was I don't
know. It might have been somebody at

216
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.039
one of the events we were at. No, it was it was at

217
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.039
disc golf and it was like,
oh, new therapists end like one of

218
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:43.320
those numbers. Actually I think I
did more of um. I think it

219
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:50.320
was more of this number. Yeah
you do. And I started just like

220
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.519
talking to him about stuff that he
would probably want to talk to a therapist

221
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.720
about, and he just kind of
looked at me. I was like,

222
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:01.360
yoah. It was like, you
know, nothing that gets people to live

223
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.399
in their car. But it's not
easy living in your car. No.

224
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.720
I did it, and it sucked. It could be done right, but

225
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.440
there's a point where you just get
tired of it. You know. Adam,

226
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.399
he'll tell you his story is about
living in a car, and you

227
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.440
know, and it's just you can
make it work, man, but it's

228
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.399
not fun. It's not cool.
No, not at all. I actually

229
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.720
moved to Grand Rapids one time,
actually sell the Grand Rapids, and my

230
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.200
plan was to live in my car
because I was just so tired of just

231
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:35.320
living life in the woods. Really, I grew up in the wooded area.

232
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.240
So I just got tired of it
and was like, need time for

233
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.320
a change. And it sounds I
got of jobs. That's all it really

234
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.440
matters. I can find someplace to
take a shower, you know. Jim

235
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:58.720
Truck stops whatever Planet Fitness should advertise
with recovery people, Yeah they should twenty

236
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.399
bucks man, right, But you
know I made it work. Yeah.

237
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:07.440
I ended up finding some someone that
worked there at the little Taco ball was

238
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.759
working at and who had a room, and so I ended up running a

239
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.720
room from them for a while.
It worked out really well. So that

240
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.360
was quite the come up. So
he went from the woods to a car

241
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:23.679
to a friend's room, yeah,
or a co workers room. Right,

242
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.399
Damn you fast tracked it. Well, it took a little while. I

243
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:32.000
mean, definitely the car is an
upgrade from the woods. Well, it

244
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:36.519
wasn't necessarily living in the woods.
The cabin was out in the woods though,

245
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.360
But you know, I mean,
get out of work, go cut

246
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:44.879
firewood. Because my buddy didn't plan
really well at the time. He never

247
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.559
cut firewood till we absolutely needed it. So it was always get out of

248
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.679
work, go cut firewood to heat
the house for the day. And I

249
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.080
just got tired of it. You
know, I'm grateful that you let me

250
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.879
stay at his house, but at
the same time I got tired of it.

251
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.759
Well that's probably why you let you
stay there, is because cutting all

252
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:11.920
the wood for him exactly gotta keeper
on here justin Burke. Yep, there's

253
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.319
an axe, right, don't you
have a wood splitter? No, there's

254
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:19.440
an axe. Damn dude. I
know rough car is way better than that.

255
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.960
I'm trying to do that. You
have to like shoot your own food

256
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:30.960
and stuff. Oh yeah, damn
dude. Reproaching m hmm. Allegedly we

257
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:37.559
all had tags. Allegedly. I
love that word. So with the air

258
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:44.279
quotes back to your shirt. Yeah, there's started with this. Uh it's

259
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.200
fabulous on it and people that come
to your meeting. And I even heard

260
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.039
that like if people join on Zoom, they'll be entered into like a drawing

261
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:57.200
or something to win a fabulous T
shirt. And there's two different versions of

262
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.680
it, and we don't know which
one we like better. One of them

263
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.920
says my life in Recovery is and
then it says fabulous and big words,

264
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:15.599
and the other one just says fabulous
panitless. So I think I like the

265
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.079
first idea better. My Life in
Recovery is yeah, fabulous, yeah,

266
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.599
and you two but we'll see what
they look like on the shirt and has

267
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.880

273
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.279
don't remember how how many. I
think I screwed it up because I liked

274
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.119
it. Everybody else's probably like,

289
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.400

in early recovery myself, and I appreciate

300
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.759
what you guys do, and like
he's down in Texas. That's fabulous,

301
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.960
it is and that was pretty cool. And then there's another woman by the

302
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.960
name of Rachel and she's from Saginaw
and she did too. She started a

303
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:06.480
fundraiser for her birthday to raise money
for two seventeen recovery and that's awesome.

304
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.839
Yeah, I gotta start looking at
that a little more so I can start

305
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.480
thinking people yecause we really do appreciate
it. Every once in a while,

306
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.119
I'll see something come across and it
was like meta pay has put this much

307
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.440
into your account, and it's like
for what I think, I raised like

308
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:25.519
eight dollars to my birthday fundraiser.
Yeah, but I wasn't really going hard

309
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.359
in the paint with it either.
No, But for people that do,

310
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.839
though, really appreciate it, Yeah, that is very nice. You know,

311
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.400
we do our podcast for free.
You know, we don't charge anything

312
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.000
for our app No, it's like, why, we just want to be

313
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.480
another resource and it helps me stay
sober, helps me stay sober. And

314
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.799
I haven't done a real podcast in
a while. I mean, we've kind

315
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.000
of been dicking around here and there. It seems like we're at the golf

316
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.319
thing and then or the disc golf
thing. I don't want to call it

317
00:21:52.400 --> 00:22:00.720
golf thing because that's very offensive to
golf. And we did the golf volleyball

318
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.599
tournament, you know, which was
only like fifteen minutes long, and I

319
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:07.599
don't know, Tyrone wanted to eat
and it's like time shut it down,

320
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.680
and I thought we would do another
one, but we never did. I

321
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.279
started playing with the drone, that's
what happened, I mean, and it

322
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.839
wasn't playing with it. I started
getting footage for the video, for the

323
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:22.960
three little ten second clips. Then
I put in there, that's all right,

324
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.519
it's all right, the video looks
fabulous, I think. So yeah,

325
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.319
yeah, I gotta start doing more
video and less pictures, I think.

326
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.839
But I mean, there were so
many pictures, man, Yeah,

327
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.079
Jeremy took a lot. Yeah,
and I didn't put all the pictures on

328
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.599
the video because like the videos like
two minutes long, and I wanted to

329
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.079
keep it around thirty five forty seconds. But there was just so many pictures.

330
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:49.160
Yeah, And I only put maybe
a third of the pictures that are

331
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:55.279
in the video. Video of the
rest are online to seventeen recovery dot com,

332
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.079
like on the front page, and
well, you'll see it up top,

333
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.200
it'll say picks. And then there's
that we used to call it in

334
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.720
radio, a dynamic lead. It
has the thing that rotates about the top

335
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.880
like it has a picture of Marnie
on it, and it says, you

336
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:10.319
know, for event pictures, click
here. You can get there that way

337
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.599
too. Yeah, and then for
the video. You just scrolled down on

338
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:19.440
our website a little bit and there
it is. But how's the blog assignment's

339
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:25.640
been going for you? Oh?
Pretty easy, it's really too And I

340
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.839
come right in. I'm very sneaky
about it. You'll be talking to someone

341
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.920
and I'll just come in and sit
at my desk and just bust one out

342
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:37.799
real quick, and that's gonna be
a drop. And like today, you

343
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.960
know, I wrote one out,
I published, it, came in,

344
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.319
let you know, I published it. Walked out to Mitch and he was

345
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.319
like, I was like, what
blog you're writing it? I already did

346
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.000
mine. He goes, I ain't
telling you. I was like, well,

347
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.519
fine, I ain't telling you what
one I did, but you can

348
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.680
online and find out. And it
was funny because he was going to write

349
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.680
the same thing I wrote about.
Yeah, and a little back story here.

350
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.279
I want the guys to have fun
and recovery. And the blog is

351
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.200
an extension of us, you know. It's it's a way for us to

352
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.119
get our thoughts or our feelings out
there. And sometimes it's hard, you

353
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:11.839
know, to sit here and go, oh, I didn't have a bad

354
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.559
day, and I don't want to
rub it in. Then I had such

355
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.000
a great day and I don't want
to jinx anything either, you know,

356
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:22.039
And sometimes it's hard if if if
you're like guessing what you're writing about,

357
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:23.480
then it's not gonna be genuine.
And it's just like ah, man,

358
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.920
like I wanted to be real,
genuine. I wanted to be like from

359
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.200
the heart, and I wanted to
be intelligent. I wanted to be on

360
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.680
point. I want to be topical. It's hard to get all that stuff

361
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.799
in there. So with our website, a lot of people go to our

362
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.400
website and you never know who's gonna
read something that's going to inspire them.

363
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.319
So with my thinking behind that with
you. We have another blog writer now

364
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.319
too, which is great Kevin.
You can read his stuff. Yeah,

365
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.799
yeah, I ever a few of
his blogs, nice sweet short, yeah,

366
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:56.759
And it's just something he wants to
keep up with every day. But

367
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:00.200
with you guys, I got you
on staff. Man, I'm painting moneys,

368
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.559
so like, let's get them blogs
going. And it's not as easy

369
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.400
as that. So I figured,
here's what we'll do. Make a blog

370
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.759
assignment. Each Monday, I will
send out an assignment. I'll give you,

371
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.079
guys four options, and there's three
of you. So one option is

372
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.400
that I'm going to be used.
So wait till the recycle month. It's

373
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.599
gonna be fun. The fits Monday
as a month, it'll be the something

374
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:30.680
that nobody wrote about, nobody wanted
to. It'll be really interesting. Yeah,

375
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.359
but it's a fun way for me
to pick the topics and some of

376
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.240
them, you know, or the
topics and the title. So that's what

377
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:37.119
you have to put the title,
ads, and that's what you got to

378
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:44.599
write about. And yours was why
rapping four or rapping fourte or why rapping

379
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.279
fourte is your favorite rapper of all
times something like that, something like that.

380
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.839
You did a pretty good job,
you did a little research to it,

381
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:55.279
and it's fun, you know,
like clearly you don't think rapping fourte's

382
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:59.119
are gonna rapper alive. And oh
but he wasn't bad though, I mean

383
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:03.880
he had to come up through some
of the greatest rappers though, like Nwa

384
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.519
and Tupac Biggie you know, yeah
Wu Tang. Yeah, you're a little

385
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:15.200
hard on today's rappers in your blog. Well they're mainly mumble rapping. It's

386
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:21.599
all about toting guns and yeah,
just not. I don't know, I

387
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.759
just don't really care for today's rap. Really, there's nothing wrong with that,

388
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.359
no. I mean, there's a
few rappers that are all right,

389
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.720
but you know, a lot of
them are just I don't know. It's

390
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:41.039
like this new form of rapp and
I just don't really care for it.

391
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.240
It's not as smooth as like the
old rap used to be, the old

392
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:52.440
school that we grew up with.
Yeah, way different, that's for sure.

393
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:59.599
Yeah, but you did it.
I did it, and then Mitch

394
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.920
you know, he wrote his block
too. But it's just the way that,

395
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.839
you know, I have a little
fun with the blogs and give you

396
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.000
guys some to to write about.
That's that's silly that you guys can't write

397
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.200
about. And so far it's going
pretty well, I say, I like

398
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.920
most of the stuff that you guys
have delivered. And Adams won last week,

399
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.359
and it'll be interesting to see what
he does this week. Yeah,

400
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.480
right now, I have to say
you're in the lead. Thank you.

401
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:29.039
Adam's gonna pull something, obviously if
he always does. Yeah, yeah,

402
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:30.680
he just kind of reacts to it. He doesn't react to it. He

403
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.279
waits for it, and then he
acts upon whatever. Right, you know,

404
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:38.559
it might be easier going last.
I don't know, like you say,

405
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.440
you jump right on it. Mitch
kind of flows through and then yeah,

406
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.240
he thought me, you and Adam
were all in here talking this morning,

407
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.400
but didn't even realize. I was
at my desk listening to some rapping

408
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.119
fork, you know, to find
out what his music even was. I've

409
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.039
never even heard of the guy.
How did you start your day? Well,

410
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:02.359
justin listen to rapping foete. Yeah, that's how I started my day

411
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.839
at work, Oh my gosh,
you know. But you know, I

412
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:10.160
listen to some of his music and
figured out what somewhat what he was about,

413
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:15.400
and went from there, you know, and wrote a blog. And

414
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.720
then I said, are playing other
songs for you guys? And you didn't

415
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.480
know, You didn't know who Onyx
was? You ever heard of Naughty by

416
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.519
Nature? Yeah, okay, yeah, of course you've heard of that one,

417
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.880
that group, But Yeah, it's
just just a good way to try

418
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.640
something new and have a little fun
in recovery, and that's something that we're

419
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.079
about, Yeah, about that fun
life. Yeah, it was nice to

420
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:44.319
come in and listen to some like
calm rap. I don't really know how

421
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:48.240
to say it any other way.
Like his beats are calm and relax and

422
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:59.799
makes you just want to groove to
it. M fabulous, fabulous. Yeah,

423
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.559
apparently I deleted some of Mitch's drops. Oh, I don't know how

424
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:11.559
I did that. That's a shame. It is a shame. It's been

425
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:17.480
kind of hard trying to find a
like a nineteen twenty year old what what

426
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:21.160
are you talking about? Mitch?
How did he get on the podcast?

427
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.000
I don't know. We'll have to
get him in here, and maybe we'll

428
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.799
get him in here next week to
do a podcast him, Mitch and Jeremy

429
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.359
are going to start a podcast.
Yeah, I've seen you ordered some stuff.

430
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:37.799
Well that's for me, but I'm
not sure if I can use it

431
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.720
because when we do videos, and
I mean, I guess I could do

432
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.880
it in here, but I just
don't know if I have enough space,

433
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:51.079
like if I had someone sit right
there at the which is not the sex

434
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:56.240
couch. Oh yeah, not at
all. There's no sex on that couch.

435
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:03.279
It's black and there's no white stains
on it. So so interview couch.

436
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.640
I could have somebody sit there.
I guess there's a couple of cramp

437
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.240
camera I could put one and where
you're at facing that way in one right

438
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.160
here facing that way, But then
the lights would be kind of a problem.

439
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:18.319
So I don't know. In this
room is so small, I don't

440
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:23.920
know. But I have that boom
like there that I could run and record

441
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:29.000
with. But my office is pretty
small, but I'm sure I could probably

442
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.400
do it in there. I got
a little bit more room. It's a

443
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:36.440
little more open. Yeah. I
don't even know where I'm going with this

444
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:41.880
story. I don't know. Are
we returning the spotlight video? Oh yeah,

445
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.839
yeah, yeah, no one the
Yeah, that's that's all I'm thinking

446
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:45.960
about. I'm not gonna work.
I might call it something else, but

447
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.559
no. The thing that I ordered, I thought you could plug it in

448
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:53.079
because like I have to run that
court all the way over to the board

449
00:30:53.559 --> 00:31:00.440
and it sounds fine. I had
this other little jinkie little audio by thing

450
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.480
that I tried to run through that
it only records it in mono. It

451
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.640
just it wasn't that good. It
sounded like crap. So I got this

452
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.160
other thing for like sixty buck,
but I can't record into it. Like

453
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.599
the board I have here, which
is big, you can record into it,

454
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.920
like I wouldn't need to put it
on a computer right away. Okay,

455
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.519
but I'm looking at it too because
Adam and I in you we're gonna

456
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.559
start making this video. I think
it's gonna be called alcohol so fun.

457
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.960
Yeah, it's gonna be very sarcastic. And we were telling stories, Adam

458
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.359
and either other day about man,
we should like remember this, remember that,

459
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.240
Like we should film that I like
brought to you by Jim Beam.

460
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.920
Yeah, you know, and like
until they make it, until they like

461
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.720
sue us or something. Sent really
cared for the hangovers. But you guys

462
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.279
said you'd just wake up keep drinking, Well you'd have to. I just

463
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.000
couldn't do that because like we woke
up, we were still drunk, and

464
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.960
during the day we'd start getting the
shakes, Like that's when the alcohol would

465
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.400
start leaving our system on our body
would be like, WHOA hold on,

466
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.640
I need that to live because your
body starts thinking that like Hey, give

467
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:06.440
me so much of this stuff.
I really need that to function, and

468
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.279
your body does. And that's why
people buy when they withdraw, you know,

469
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:12.720
like if someone's like, I'm just
gonna quit drinking today, or you

470
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:17.000
know, somebody's mom or dad or
sister or whoever takes their bottle away and

471
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:20.559
it's like you're not drinking and they're
like two weak to even get up,

472
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.400
and they're just like they're dying,
like literally, they're they're dying. And

473
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:25.880
the family member thinks, well,
I did something. I took that away

474
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:29.799
from him, like I'm killing them. Yeah, let's not do that.

475
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.920
There's recent books. Let's take him
to the hospitals. Let's take him to

476
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:35.920
the doctor and figure that out.
And then you take him the hospital and

477
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.880
they're like, we're not a d
talks and they're like, yeah, but

478
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.599
he can die. We're not a
D talks. Like they don't care,

479
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.880
right, they really don't. And
some of them around here will just give

480
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:51.759
you the D tax medicine, be
like here, take these as prescribed for

481
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:57.079
the next few days. If you
have any grandma seizure, some good luck

482
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.359
and yeah, because you can come
back then. But it's tough, man,

483
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.119
it really is, and we were
gonna make the videos. We had

484
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.279
some really good ideas and you know, so like having a boom mic it

485
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.880
would be nice, but I can't
lug this thing out there, and I

486
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.519
wanted something that was small, which
I thought that which this is. But

487
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.319
then I have to somehow connect this
to a computer. So I'm like,

488
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.799
I don't know if that's really gonna
work. But then I was saying,

489
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.319
a man, I could maybe connected
to my phone, which I do have

490
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:27.000
recording software on my phone. There
you go, So I still got to

491
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.960
play with it and see if it
can work. But yeah, I mitching

492
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:34.279
Jeremy. I was like, hey, you guys, can you know,

493
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.279
try that out and if you want
to buy that from it you can.

494
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.359
You know, it's only like sixty
bucks. But it's starting a podcast,

495
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.960
man like is like, if you
want to do it right, it can

496
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:52.119
be time very time consuming, and
it can it can get expensive, but

497
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.279
you're not using If it's something that
keeps you sober, then yeah, why

498
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:58.640
not. It's a win. It's
a hobby. It gives you something to

499
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.519
do, and so they can help
a lot of people and I think they'll

500
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:08.199
do all right. Yeah, definitely
enlighten you what's their podcasts? Yeah,

501
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.280
who knows what it's gonna be about. That's their podcast, you know,

502
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.800
nothing to do with to seventeen recovery, just me helping them. And yeah,

503
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.280
they just happen to work here.
But I'm not going to censor them,

504
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.920
you know, like they can talk
about whatever they want exactly, which

505
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:27.880
is what they need to do.
So we'll let you know when that comes

506
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.800
around. I think they're gonna try
to kick it around for a month and

507
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:36.920
then kind of flip it over to
like this other thing and we'll tell you

508
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.599
all about it one day. So
I just stay yeah, stay tuned.

509
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:43.239
Details. We'll be here before you
know it, and so will football.

510
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.079
Yeah, I can't wait. Injuries
piling up already. I know we got

511
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:53.960
what ten days till preseason something like
that, but you know, I'll be

512
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:59.519
in Seattle, but they're Seahawks.
They're not even playing there. Their first

513
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:06.960
game, preseason game is against Pittsburgh
in Pittsburgh. Nice playing that one wrong,

514
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.199
Yeah you did. We went to
Pittsburgh last year, which nice city.

515
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.119
It's a nice city. It's kind
of small but big enough. Then

516
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:19.360
you go there like for a wedding
or something. Ye. But now You're

517
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:23.400
going to Seattle just to go to
Seattle doing anything fun while you're in Seattle.

518
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:30.119
Um, I think we're gonna do, um, maybe sexual relations.

519
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:35.440
Well, of course probably. But
then the Seattle Seahawks, like I want

520
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:39.440
to tour their stadium, We're gonna
try to do the Mariners stadium. But

521
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.719
it said their tickets were not available, So I said, well, I'm

522
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.280
not buying your tickets to your game
then, because I really don't care about

523
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.039
the Mariners day. No, I
don't want to spend two and a half

524
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:53.320
three hours. It's some baseball game, yeah, not a no suite,

525
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:57.719
actually have to deal with the outside
element. Yeah, well, I mean

526
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.639
it's dome. Well they have a
roof that is open and shuts or whatever,

527
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:06.199
but retractable. But I just know, I don't know. I just

528
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:08.559
I used to be in baseball a
lot, and I was drinking a lot.

529
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:10.519
You know, I turn on the
Cubs. I'm like, well,

530
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.280
I got to drink because the Cubs
are on. Cubs play all the time.

531
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.239
I mean, well, I mean
all the teams really play all the

532
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.880
time. So yeah, I just
I don't know. I just have no

533
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.639
interest in the baseball team or the
team they're playing or just baseball in general.

534
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.719
I don't really care you like to
commentate for it though. That was

535
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:38.599
hilarious yesterday, Oh at the baseball
game. Yeah that was Sunday two days

536
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:44.440
ago. My bad time's flying.
Man. Yeah, well it's fun to

537
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.079
do that. But man, that
game, we're there, they was we

538
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:51.079
just gotta say this real quick and
we'll be on. But it was the

539
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:57.119
swa Spitters, not the Swallows as
the spitters, the pit spitters. And

540
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:00.360
it's like these young kids who are
going to college, but this is a

541
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:07.840
way that they can earn money for
rich people or wait, no, hold

542
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:09.039
on, man, money, No, it's money for their college. Yeah.

543
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:13.760
I'm not really for sure how they're
doing something, but they're all like

544
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:16.760
college students because you can't take money
if you're in college for sports. Well

545
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:21.559
I guess you can, now,
Yeah, that's something difference. So I

546
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:23.239
don't know, but anyway, their
college kids wouldn't. Man, this dude

547
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:29.599
hit the bases loaded like plue funk, like just plunking dudes pop pop pop

548
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.880
pop, and then they pull them
out and next dude comes in pop pops

549
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:35.480
guy, and they PLoP another guy. In the next inning, a couple

550
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.320
of them and then finally the pitt
Spitters guy throws back and he like barely

551
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:45.559
grazes the dude from the other team. I'm like, man, should hit

552
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.440
him right in the helmet. Yeah, there'd have been some booties that were

553
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.920
sober, for sure. And the
kids the other kids were from like Battle

554
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.519
Creek. We're not from battle Creek
because they were from all over country,

555
00:37:54.559 --> 00:38:00.280
but they're playing for Battle Creek,
and it's just like, man, are

556
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.800
they teaching those kids up there?
Yeah? I don't know not how to

557
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.320
pitch, that's for sure. There
was a lot of bad fundamentals. I'm

558
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.239
like, how are these kids out
in college? Man? Exactly? It

559
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:12.920
was horrible, maybe because I just
wasn't that good that I had to like

560
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:16.920
get the fundamentals down. But like
these kids are just like lillygagging, like

561
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:21.159
catching flyballs, and I will feel
why the dude's tagging up. They're not

562
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.360
even trying to get under it in
any kind of way to throw the ball.

563
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:27.480
Like, it's just yeah, it
was. It was just like,

564
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.159
yeah, I'm out here from my
college. I really don't care. I'm

565
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.679
just I'll catch the ball. I
don't catch the ball, like I don't

566
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:38.239
know. Yeah, hopefully the game
Thursday is better. I should I should

567
00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:40.760
request permission to go talk to him
in the locker room before the game.

568
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.599
You should make a badge and sam
a scout. There you go, you

569
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:51.519
could two seventeen recovery scout. Yeah, you guys want to play for us?

570
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.280
No lillygagging out there, fun,
straight fundamental. If they hit eight

571
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.880
people on our team, damn it, we're gonna hit somebody in the booty.

572
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.159
You give it to him right in
the ass. Drill them hard,

573
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:10.119
right in the ass. Pabulous.
Yeah, I'll have to get all up

574
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.679
in it. Well I was talking
about with the baseball. Yeah, hit

575
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.599
him like, drill them with the
baseball. And not like I'll have to

576
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.239
get all up in it. I
don't. Not like. No, Mitch
