That's too far. It is the first of August twenty twenty three.
My name Story wouldn't Bill. This is the two seventeen Recovery podcast in the
North Studio joining me fabulous, Fabulous Special Agast dear friend, Justin Burt,
justin your fabulous get a ride today. It was a long one. Yeah,
And you listen to the podcast with a guy or a person or lady
or whoever it may be that was going to wherever they may have been going,
and they went sleepy time. Yeah, it's like sleepy Time tea.
Remember that Sleepy Time tea. Listen to the podcasts and you will go to
sleep. Yeah. It was pretty Uh, podcast wasn't right on point,
but he decided to take a little news. Hello, what snooze? I
thought you said lows no snooze. If you rewind that, I think that
might be a drop. But no, And I've had people tell me this
a long time ago, I mean ever since the start is they would listen
to us at night and it's something that they would go to sleep too.
And I don't mind that at all. No, it means that we have
soothing conversations. Yeah, very And somebody might be listening right now, going,
Yeah, that's what I do. I turn on at night and I
fall the ft to sleep. Right. Good for you. Listen Scott's to
today. Oh, the Reservation Conversation podcast. Yeah, that's what really put
him to sleep. But I thought it was really good. Oh man,
Yeah that the podcast actually really it is good. Yeah, and I'm helping
them kind of started off, and it's called The Reservation Conversation podcast and you
can look it up Reservation Conversation this near app store, Get the app.
They're not very long podcast. I think one might be like twenty twenty five
minutes. The rest are like ten fifteen minutes. But he's talking about different
topics, you know, and some of the things that go on, you
know, on the reservation, you know, and some of the things that
just affect us all in general. Yeah, there was some about drug court,
I think the last one. Ye. And he's really good. Scott
likes to talk, yeah, he does. I thought it was an interesting
I didn't realize he played such a big factor in the whole drug court type
thing about going to different areas and trying to get it started in everything else,
Like, I didn't really know much of Scott's story. Like Scott was
a trainer when I took Recovery Coach class sing oh really yeah, he was
one of the trainers and one of the classes that I took. I don't
know if it was actually the recovery coaching, where the messaging, where the
ethics, but in there somewhere he was one of the trainers. So I
never really got to know his story very well, but knew him as a
person and everything. Oh and it was kind of nice to hear some of
his story today through his podcast. Yeah. Yeah, he gets into it
and he dropped an F bomb. I'm so proud of him. Yeah.
I told him that because we went to the he invited us to the baseball
game, which you went to and you went with and that was fun.
I told him. I was like, dude, you dropped an F bomb
in there, and I left it because why not, you know. And
he was talking about mental health and how he goes to see a therapist,
and he said, well, I go see a therapist. He's like,
because I'm fed up. But he dropped the F bomb, you know.
Yeah. I didn't even really realize it when he said it because it was
just so natural. It's not like he emphasized it or anything. It was
just a natural, flowing F bomb. Yeah, which is the best kind
of F bomb. If you're gonna drop one, right, I've dropped three
already in this podcast. I want to go back and listen to it.
You can pick him up doubt it when a shirt, yeah, I lied
about that. And speaking of shirts, you have a shirt that you're gonna
start hanging out at your meetings. Yeah, and it says be less that's
right, which I thought was pretty cool. I know Adam has a shirt
for Recovery Dads. Had a guy come in today and asked about that meeting.
He's like, wait, what is this Recovery Dads. He's like,
I'm a dad, I'm a recovery and I was like, oh, well,
it's on Sundays ten am. You know, they talk about dad stuff,
you know, like, and it's funny because his daughter, the guy
that was talking to me about this, his daughter's like No, his daughter's
twenty or twenty one. Wow. But there's still the things that you have
to go through. And he was talking about some of the stuff in the
teenage years, and it's like, oh my gosh. You know, like
there's different levels of dad dadding, dattening. Yeah, I think I'm at
fathering. But you just went with it. I appreciate that. Yeah,
daddening. Yeah, there's different levels of daddening that. That's a new word.
I just made up new slang. I heard it, yeah, first
time. So if you're dad ending out there, that's the luck to you,
you know, especially with you know, teenage daughters and then early twenties
daughters and I know mine spirit thirteen in like eighteen days. Wow. Yeah.
Now did you have to talk with her? No, my mom did.
WHOA. I would be kind of leary about that. I think I
think I would want to have the talk. I didn't really want to have
to talk with her necessarily. No, you didn't want to know. I
feel like my mom did a sophisticated job with it. I didn't hear it,
but you know, at least my daughter would be more receptable of who
was giving her the talk. I think she'd be a little weird out if
it was you. I guess, oh no, not really. I mean
we talk about a lot of different things, like we're pretty open. But
at the same time, you know, in today's society, someone might misconstrued
to talk. What if you sat down with your X I'm zoom and said,
Okay, we're gonna have this talk with her. Let me know at
seven o'clock, pull me up on zoom and I'll sit in. We'll have
to talk. Yeah. I don't think her mom really wanted to do it
neither. I don't know. Oh. That's when he started with guilt tripping
her, like, look, you know this is we gotta do this,
and because there's there needs to be somebody that kind of gives her the be
careful. Here's what guys will do, Here's what guys will say. Um,
not all guys. You know, some guys are are very shy,
some guys are afraid, and other guys are not so much ruthless, relentless.
And I had a guy he was like, I'm trying to think of
who it was. I'll call him out my name if I can remember it.
But he was like, look, man, if I hit on every
single girl. That's more odds. He's like, yeah, I'm gonna get
shot down ninety nine percent of the time that one that one time, it's
all worth it. And he didn't care if he made an ass out of
himself. He was trying out of his league. He didn't care. I
mean every single person, and I can't remember who it was. That's horrible.
Yeah, but that was the strategy behind it. Was like, look,
I'm gonna get lucky one of these times. I was like, yeah,
but that's probably probably not lucky for the girl, you know. And
I was in stream at this one guy. I was saying, and I
might have talked about the story in the podcast before, but it was at
turning point in Grand Rapids, and this guy was like, I don't know
what he was doing. He was listening to like gangster rap videos every morning
and it was just getting old and we would just turn it off and he
couldn't really do much about it because of the whole place was like, no
turn that off. But anyway, I was saying that I don't remember anything
good that ever happened to me while I was drunk, and little Eminem,
Little Reese his pieces got up there and he was like, yeah, well
a lot of good stuff happened. I mean I was drunk, and we
all kind of looked at him like really, dude, and he was like,
yeah, man on times, this girl, man we was drinking,
she got real drunk. Man, I ended up hooking up with her.
And I'm like, dude, that was that was probably the worst night of
her life, like her walk of shame that next day or whatever. It
was like she was probably like had to get tested and I mean it was
it was probably a very scary ordeal for her and hopefully that stopped her from
ever using drugs drinking anymore. Right, But it's like, dude, like
seriously like that that that's that that doesn't even qualify as a good something good
that happened to your life, you know, like someone the see That's what
I'm saying, Like these conversations, you know, should be had with the
young women of this world, you know, or young whatever you want to
call yourself, Like just because the other young whatever they want to call themselves.
Now someone like I said, some are scary or some are scared,
some are scary, some of are peer pressured into doing more stuff than what
they want to do. And you know some of these kids too. People
are molested when they're young, and studies show and of course I'm not a
doctor or a therapist or anything like that, but I'd have read some stuff
and study show that people that are molested have that tendency to be more aggressive
aggressive, or they're they're exploring more and and way way faster than others are.
So it's just like, gotta be careful, man, watch your watch
your kids and be the parent right, you know. And when you're in
recovery, you might think, oh, man, I screwed up. I
wasn't there as much as I should be or should have been. Well,
you got today, don't you. Are you sober now? Like let's start
now. There's nothing wrong with that, No, exactly. You don't have
to beat yourself up for the last five years. Like if you haven't seen
your kids in five years, okay, well, like that phone call,
write that letter, you know, make that connection if you need to,
and they'll be eighteen one day, and they'll be twenty and twenty five and
thirty you'll have grandkids. Like I think people get caught up on the whole
Oh no, I missed four years of my child's life, Well, are
you getting better so that you can be there for the rest of their child's
life, because they're I mean, eighteen years goes by quick, and if
you really want to think about it, it's only like thirteen or fourteen after
that. They don't want nothing to do with your ass. Anyway. I
talked about this already, you know, like being the grandparent. I think
we talked about it on a podcast. Yeah, and I like the great
grandparent like probably hates life, and it's like, well, these kids don't
even know me or like me. I can't remember their damn names, and
the don't want nothing to do with me, right, I just give him
money every year for their birthday and Christmas. Yeah. So yeah, that's
just such a short part. And yeah you missed it, if you did
miss it, but I can't do nothing about that. You know, pick
yourself up and do what you can to build that relationship with them, now,
Yeah, that's all you can do. I know, with me and
my daughter, I didn't see her for a couple of years, and she
instant like. I didn't hide nothing from her, you know, I told
her I was out messing up and getting high and getting drunk, and everything
else, because I wanted to know the real life aspects of real life addiction.
So that way, you know, she could see how easily it messed
me up, and she was old enough to remember it and to realize what
I was actually doing, even though I didn't really use a round her.
But I wasn't home. I was always gone, so it played a factor
in her life, you know. And then she was just kept from me
after I got out of treatment and whatnot for a while, so that really
messed with her too, knowing that I was wanting to see her and she
couldn't see me, like we both wanted to see each other, and her
mom was just like, no gonna happen. Like I ended up having to
take her to court, so like for dad's out there, like you have
rights to take them the court. Don't be a skirt, right as long
as you're doing what you need to be doing, you know, living that
good life. I mean, because some people could probably think, yeah but
my past or yeah I did this, or it doesn't matter. It's what
are you doing right now right? And that's what the judge told me.
He he actually commended me for going to treatment and everything else can change my
whole life around, Like it's really rewarding to hear that so doesn't have to
end like you think, oh, well, I probably just keep drinking or
keep using because it doesn't matter or anyone. No, it does matter,
right, It truly does. And you can change some things around. And
you know it starts with a therapist. If you need outpatient tream, you
need inpatient tream, I mean, who knows, you know, but make
some phone calls. If you got Medicaid, you got insurance, you know,
flip that card around and call that number on there and be like,
here's my situation. Here's when they need a lot of people sometimes are afraid,
you know, like they have great insurance that will pay for them to
go to like really cool places, not like California or whatever, Florida's little
coughing Rehab or anything like that. But I'm just saying, like, there's
some really nice places that you can go to, but they're too afraid to
reach out because well, first of all, what am I going to say
that the person on the other end of the phone, I need help.
I don't want to have help, you know, like I want to do
this on my own. But you're gonna need some help. And that's what
those places are there for. Before you end up screwing everything up, losing
your job, finding yourself in jail, then not having that good insurance,
you're gonna be like, damn, I wish I would have went when I
had the good insurance. Exactly. I know. You brought it up to
me last week about how you're gonna make it mandatory for all your employees to
have a therapist. Yeah, did you let everyone else know? Not yet?
Not yet? Well, like that should be a number one goal when
you get from when you get back, we should all have therapists. Yep.
If you're not, you're fired. Right. Mental health is serious.
Why did you get fired because I didn't have a therapist? Ye? You're
stupid, right, And we all through things, Yeah, we do.
And I was talking to the other day and they're like, well, I
don't need a therapist, and I said, yeah, okay, yeah you
do. Probably Mitch. No, it wasn't Mitch. You Mitch knows he's
a therapist. It was I don't know. It might have been somebody at
one of the events we were at. No, it was it was at
disc golf and it was like, oh, new therapists end like one of
those numbers. Actually I think I did more of um. I think it
was more of this number. Yeah you do. And I started just like
talking to him about stuff that he would probably want to talk to a therapist
about, and he just kind of looked at me. I was like,
yoah. It was like, you know, nothing that gets people to live
in their car. But it's not easy living in your car. No.
I did it, and it sucked. It could be done right, but
there's a point where you just get tired of it. You know. Adam,
he'll tell you his story is about living in a car, and you
know, and it's just you can make it work, man, but it's
not fun. It's not cool. No, not at all. I actually
moved to Grand Rapids one time, actually sell the Grand Rapids, and my
plan was to live in my car because I was just so tired of just
living life in the woods. Really, I grew up in the wooded area.
So I just got tired of it and was like, need time for
a change. And it sounds I got of jobs. That's all it really
matters. I can find someplace to take a shower, you know. Jim
Truck stops whatever Planet Fitness should advertise with recovery people, Yeah they should twenty
bucks man, right, But you know I made it work. Yeah.
I ended up finding some someone that worked there at the little Taco ball was
working at and who had a room, and so I ended up running a
room from them for a while. It worked out really well. So that
was quite the come up. So he went from the woods to a car
to a friend's room, yeah, or a co workers room. Right,
Damn you fast tracked it. Well, it took a little while. I
mean, definitely the car is an upgrade from the woods. Well, it
wasn't necessarily living in the woods. The cabin was out in the woods though,
But you know, I mean, get out of work, go cut
firewood. Because my buddy didn't plan really well at the time. He never
cut firewood till we absolutely needed it. So it was always get out of
work, go cut firewood to heat the house for the day. And I
just got tired of it. You know, I'm grateful that you let me
stay at his house, but at the same time I got tired of it.
Well that's probably why you let you stay there, is because cutting all
the wood for him exactly gotta keeper on here justin Burke. Yep, there's
an axe, right, don't you have a wood splitter? No, there's
an axe. Damn dude. I know rough car is way better than that.
I'm trying to do that. You have to like shoot your own food
and stuff. Oh yeah, damn dude. Reproaching m hmm. Allegedly we
all had tags. Allegedly. I love that word. So with the air
quotes back to your shirt. Yeah, there's started with this. Uh it's
fabulous on it and people that come to your meeting. And I even heard
that like if people join on Zoom, they'll be entered into like a drawing
or something to win a fabulous T shirt. And there's two different versions of
it, and we don't know which one we like better. One of them
says my life in Recovery is and then it says fabulous and big words,
and the other one just says fabulous panitless. So I think I like the
first idea better. My Life in Recovery is yeah, fabulous, yeah,
and you two but we'll see what they look like on the shirt and has
two seventeen recovery on the side. So yeah, sorry, you know,
if you go to my page Living in Recovery, which is the name of

entered to win a shirt there that way too. Damn I made a little
post that says be the first to like this and you'll be entered into win
a shirt. So they're just the first to like it. Well, I
don't remember how how many. I think I screwed it up because I liked
it. Everybody else's probably like, well, I lost that contest, damn
it. Well no, but I guess i'd be one of the first to
like it. Well, it's a cool shirt. It's a cool meeting,
you know, people talking about living in recovery, and that's on Thursdays at
seven. Yeah, it's a little meditation. We don't necessarily do a twelve
step or a dharma practice at all. I just do a little ten fifteen
minute meditation and then we go from there and talk about like living in life
and recovery and seeing what people are actually doing and not doing, and just
try to get a little personal and get all up in it. Oh you

I was going to start this podcast off with given some shout outs, but
there was a couple of people that I noticed. I was putting the video
up from the volleyball tournament, yeah, which we got a video and pictures
to seventeen recovery dot Com answered our Facebook as well. But I was up
on the Facebook and I saw two people who started birthday I was called birthday
raising Money on profit stuff and two people chose to seventeen recovery for their birthday
on profit to raise money for and to raise awareness for. Yeah. And
one of his name was Matt. He's from Texas. And I was like,
damn dude. I was like, I didn't say damn dude. I
was like, man, that's awesome. You know, appreciate the support and
supporting you know what we're doing, helping people in early recovery. He said
right on. He's like, I'm in early recovery myself, and I appreciate
what you guys do, and like he's down in Texas. That's fabulous,
it is and that was pretty cool. And then there's another woman by the
name of Rachel and she's from Saginaw and she did too. She started a
fundraiser for her birthday to raise money for two seventeen recovery and that's awesome.
Yeah, I gotta start looking at that a little more so I can start
thinking people yecause we really do appreciate it. Every once in a while,
I'll see something come across and it was like meta pay has put this much
into your account, and it's like for what I think, I raised like
eight dollars to my birthday fundraiser. Yeah, but I wasn't really going hard
in the paint with it either. No, But for people that do,
though, really appreciate it, Yeah, that is very nice. You know,
we do our podcast for free. You know, we don't charge anything
for our app No, it's like, why, we just want to be
another resource and it helps me stay sober, helps me stay sober. And
I haven't done a real podcast in a while. I mean, we've kind
of been dicking around here and there. It seems like we're at the golf
thing and then or the disc golf thing. I don't want to call it
golf thing because that's very offensive to golf. And we did the golf volleyball
tournament, you know, which was only like fifteen minutes long, and I
don't know, Tyrone wanted to eat and it's like time shut it down,
and I thought we would do another one, but we never did. I
started playing with the drone, that's what happened, I mean, and it
wasn't playing with it. I started getting footage for the video, for the
three little ten second clips. Then I put in there, that's all right,
it's all right, the video looks fabulous, I think. So yeah,
yeah, I gotta start doing more video and less pictures, I think.
But I mean, there were so many pictures, man, Yeah,
Jeremy took a lot. Yeah, and I didn't put all the pictures on
the video because like the videos like two minutes long, and I wanted to
keep it around thirty five forty seconds. But there was just so many pictures.
Yeah, And I only put maybe a third of the pictures that are
in the video. Video of the rest are online to seventeen recovery dot com,
like on the front page, and well, you'll see it up top,
it'll say picks. And then there's that we used to call it in
radio, a dynamic lead. It has the thing that rotates about the top
like it has a picture of Marnie on it, and it says, you
know, for event pictures, click here. You can get there that way
too. Yeah, and then for the video. You just scrolled down on
our website a little bit and there it is. But how's the blog assignment's
been going for you? Oh? Pretty easy, it's really too And I
come right in. I'm very sneaky about it. You'll be talking to someone
and I'll just come in and sit at my desk and just bust one out
real quick, and that's gonna be a drop. And like today, you
know, I wrote one out, I published, it, came in,
let you know, I published it. Walked out to Mitch and he was
like, I was like, what blog you're writing it? I already did
mine. He goes, I ain't telling you. I was like, well,
fine, I ain't telling you what one I did, but you can
online and find out. And it was funny because he was going to write
the same thing I wrote about. Yeah, and a little back story here.
I want the guys to have fun and recovery. And the blog is
an extension of us, you know. It's it's a way for us to
get our thoughts or our feelings out there. And sometimes it's hard, you
know, to sit here and go, oh, I didn't have a bad
day, and I don't want to rub it in. Then I had such
a great day and I don't want to jinx anything either, you know,
And sometimes it's hard if if if you're like guessing what you're writing about,
then it's not gonna be genuine. And it's just like ah, man,
like I wanted to be real, genuine. I wanted to be like from
the heart, and I wanted to be intelligent. I wanted to be on
point. I want to be topical. It's hard to get all that stuff
in there. So with our website, a lot of people go to our
website and you never know who's gonna read something that's going to inspire them.
So with my thinking behind that with you. We have another blog writer now
too, which is great Kevin. You can read his stuff. Yeah,
yeah, I ever a few of his blogs, nice sweet short, yeah,
And it's just something he wants to keep up with every day. But
with you guys, I got you on staff. Man, I'm painting moneys,
so like, let's get them blogs going. And it's not as easy
as that. So I figured, here's what we'll do. Make a blog
assignment. Each Monday, I will send out an assignment. I'll give you,
guys four options, and there's three of you. So one option is
that I'm going to be used. So wait till the recycle month. It's
gonna be fun. The fits Monday as a month, it'll be the something
that nobody wrote about, nobody wanted to. It'll be really interesting. Yeah,
but it's a fun way for me to pick the topics and some of
them, you know, or the topics and the title. So that's what
you have to put the title, ads, and that's what you got to
write about. And yours was why rapping four or rapping fourte or why rapping
fourte is your favorite rapper of all times something like that, something like that.
You did a pretty good job, you did a little research to it,
and it's fun, you know, like clearly you don't think rapping fourte's
are gonna rapper alive. And oh but he wasn't bad though, I mean
he had to come up through some of the greatest rappers though, like Nwa
and Tupac Biggie you know, yeah Wu Tang. Yeah, you're a little
hard on today's rappers in your blog. Well they're mainly mumble rapping. It's
all about toting guns and yeah, just not. I don't know, I
just don't really care for today's rap. Really, there's nothing wrong with that,
no. I mean, there's a few rappers that are all right,
but you know, a lot of them are just I don't know. It's
like this new form of rapp and I just don't really care for it.
It's not as smooth as like the old rap used to be, the old
school that we grew up with. Yeah, way different, that's for sure.
Yeah, but you did it. I did it, and then Mitch
you know, he wrote his block too. But it's just the way that,
you know, I have a little fun with the blogs and give you
guys some to to write about. That's that's silly that you guys can't write
about. And so far it's going pretty well, I say, I like
most of the stuff that you guys have delivered. And Adams won last week,
and it'll be interesting to see what he does this week. Yeah,
right now, I have to say you're in the lead. Thank you.
Adam's gonna pull something, obviously if he always does. Yeah, yeah,
he just kind of reacts to it. He doesn't react to it. He
waits for it, and then he acts upon whatever. Right, you know,
it might be easier going last. I don't know, like you say,
you jump right on it. Mitch kind of flows through and then yeah,
he thought me, you and Adam were all in here talking this morning,
but didn't even realize. I was at my desk listening to some rapping
fork, you know, to find out what his music even was. I've
never even heard of the guy. How did you start your day? Well,
justin listen to rapping foete. Yeah, that's how I started my day
at work, Oh my gosh, you know. But you know, I
listen to some of his music and figured out what somewhat what he was about,
and went from there, you know, and wrote a blog. And
then I said, are playing other songs for you guys? And you didn't
know, You didn't know who Onyx was? You ever heard of Naughty by
Nature? Yeah, okay, yeah, of course you've heard of that one,
that group, But Yeah, it's just just a good way to try
something new and have a little fun in recovery, and that's something that we're
about, Yeah, about that fun life. Yeah, it was nice to
come in and listen to some like calm rap. I don't really know how
to say it any other way. Like his beats are calm and relax and
makes you just want to groove to it. M fabulous, fabulous. Yeah,
apparently I deleted some of Mitch's drops. Oh, I don't know how
I did that. That's a shame. It is a shame. It's been
kind of hard trying to find a like a nineteen twenty year old what what
are you talking about? Mitch? How did he get on the podcast?
I don't know. We'll have to get him in here, and maybe we'll
get him in here next week to do a podcast him, Mitch and Jeremy
are going to start a podcast. Yeah, I've seen you ordered some stuff.
Well that's for me, but I'm not sure if I can use it
because when we do videos, and I mean, I guess I could do
it in here, but I just don't know if I have enough space,
like if I had someone sit right there at the which is not the sex
couch. Oh yeah, not at all. There's no sex on that couch.
It's black and there's no white stains on it. So so interview couch.
I could have somebody sit there. I guess there's a couple of cramp
camera I could put one and where you're at facing that way in one right
here facing that way, But then the lights would be kind of a problem.
So I don't know. In this room is so small, I don't
know. But I have that boom like there that I could run and record
with. But my office is pretty small, but I'm sure I could probably
do it in there. I got a little bit more room. It's a
little more open. Yeah. I don't even know where I'm going with this
story. I don't know. Are we returning the spotlight video? Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, no one the Yeah, that's that's all I'm thinking
about. I'm not gonna work. I might call it something else, but
no. The thing that I ordered, I thought you could plug it in
because like I have to run that court all the way over to the board
and it sounds fine. I had this other little jinkie little audio by thing
that I tried to run through that it only records it in mono. It
just it wasn't that good. It sounded like crap. So I got this
other thing for like sixty buck, but I can't record into it. Like
the board I have here, which is big, you can record into it,
like I wouldn't need to put it on a computer right away. Okay,
but I'm looking at it too because Adam and I in you we're gonna
start making this video. I think it's gonna be called alcohol so fun.
Yeah, it's gonna be very sarcastic. And we were telling stories, Adam
and either other day about man, we should like remember this, remember that,
Like we should film that I like brought to you by Jim Beam.
Yeah, you know, and like until they make it, until they like
sue us or something. Sent really cared for the hangovers. But you guys
said you'd just wake up keep drinking, Well you'd have to. I just
couldn't do that because like we woke up, we were still drunk, and
during the day we'd start getting the shakes, Like that's when the alcohol would
start leaving our system on our body would be like, WHOA hold on,
I need that to live because your body starts thinking that like Hey, give
me so much of this stuff. I really need that to function, and
your body does. And that's why people buy when they withdraw, you know,
like if someone's like, I'm just gonna quit drinking today, or you
know, somebody's mom or dad or sister or whoever takes their bottle away and
it's like you're not drinking and they're like two weak to even get up,
and they're just like they're dying, like literally, they're they're dying. And
the family member thinks, well, I did something. I took that away
from him, like I'm killing them. Yeah, let's not do that.
There's recent books. Let's take him to the hospitals. Let's take him to
the doctor and figure that out. And then you take him the hospital and
they're like, we're not a d talks and they're like, yeah, but
he can die. We're not a D talks. Like they don't care,
right, they really don't. And some of them around here will just give
you the D tax medicine, be like here, take these as prescribed for
the next few days. If you have any grandma seizure, some good luck
and yeah, because you can come back then. But it's tough, man,
it really is, and we were gonna make the videos. We had
some really good ideas and you know, so like having a boom mic it
would be nice, but I can't lug this thing out there, and I
wanted something that was small, which I thought that which this is. But
then I have to somehow connect this to a computer. So I'm like,
I don't know if that's really gonna work. But then I was saying,
a man, I could maybe connected to my phone, which I do have
recording software on my phone. There you go, So I still got to
play with it and see if it can work. But yeah, I mitching
Jeremy. I was like, hey, you guys, can you know,
try that out and if you want to buy that from it you can.
You know, it's only like sixty bucks. But it's starting a podcast,
man like is like, if you want to do it right, it can
be time very time consuming, and it can it can get expensive, but
you're not using If it's something that keeps you sober, then yeah, why
not. It's a win. It's a hobby. It gives you something to
do, and so they can help a lot of people and I think they'll
do all right. Yeah, definitely enlighten you what's their podcasts? Yeah,
who knows what it's gonna be about. That's their podcast, you know,
nothing to do with to seventeen recovery, just me helping them. And yeah,
they just happen to work here. But I'm not going to censor them,
you know, like they can talk about whatever they want exactly, which
is what they need to do. So we'll let you know when that comes
around. I think they're gonna try to kick it around for a month and
then kind of flip it over to like this other thing and we'll tell you
all about it one day. So I just stay yeah, stay tuned.
Details. We'll be here before you know it, and so will football.
Yeah, I can't wait. Injuries piling up already. I know we got
what ten days till preseason something like that, but you know, I'll be
in Seattle, but they're Seahawks. They're not even playing there. Their first
game, preseason game is against Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Nice playing that one wrong,
Yeah you did. We went to Pittsburgh last year, which nice city.
It's a nice city. It's kind of small but big enough. Then
you go there like for a wedding or something. Ye. But now You're
going to Seattle just to go to Seattle doing anything fun while you're in Seattle.
Um, I think we're gonna do, um, maybe sexual relations.
Well, of course probably. But then the Seattle Seahawks, like I want
to tour their stadium, We're gonna try to do the Mariners stadium. But
it said their tickets were not available, So I said, well, I'm
not buying your tickets to your game then, because I really don't care about
the Mariners day. No, I don't want to spend two and a half
three hours. It's some baseball game, yeah, not a no suite,
actually have to deal with the outside element. Yeah, well, I mean
it's dome. Well they have a roof that is open and shuts or whatever,
but retractable. But I just know, I don't know. I just
I used to be in baseball a lot, and I was drinking a lot.
You know, I turn on the Cubs. I'm like, well,
I got to drink because the Cubs are on. Cubs play all the time.
I mean, well, I mean all the teams really play all the
time. So yeah, I just I don't know. I just have no
interest in the baseball team or the team they're playing or just baseball in general.
I don't really care you like to commentate for it though. That was
hilarious yesterday, Oh at the baseball game. Yeah that was Sunday two days
ago. My bad time's flying. Man. Yeah, well it's fun to
do that. But man, that game, we're there, they was we
just gotta say this real quick and we'll be on. But it was the
swa Spitters, not the Swallows as the spitters, the pit spitters. And
it's like these young kids who are going to college, but this is a
way that they can earn money for rich people or wait, no, hold
on, man, money, No, it's money for their college. Yeah.
I'm not really for sure how they're doing something, but they're all like
college students because you can't take money if you're in college for sports. Well
I guess you can, now, Yeah, that's something difference. So I
don't know, but anyway, their college kids wouldn't. Man, this dude
hit the bases loaded like plue funk, like just plunking dudes pop pop pop
pop, and then they pull them out and next dude comes in pop pops
guy, and they PLoP another guy. In the next inning, a couple
of them and then finally the pitt Spitters guy throws back and he like barely
grazes the dude from the other team. I'm like, man, should hit
him right in the helmet. Yeah, there'd have been some booties that were
sober, for sure. And the kids the other kids were from like Battle
Creek. We're not from battle Creek because they were from all over country,
but they're playing for Battle Creek, and it's just like, man, are
they teaching those kids up there? Yeah? I don't know not how to
pitch, that's for sure. There was a lot of bad fundamentals. I'm
like, how are these kids out in college? Man? Exactly? It
was horrible, maybe because I just wasn't that good that I had to like
get the fundamentals down. But like these kids are just like lillygagging, like
catching flyballs, and I will feel why the dude's tagging up. They're not
even trying to get under it in any kind of way to throw the ball.
Like, it's just yeah, it was. It was just like,
yeah, I'm out here from my college. I really don't care. I'm
just I'll catch the ball. I don't catch the ball, like I don't
know. Yeah, hopefully the game Thursday is better. I should I should
request permission to go talk to him in the locker room before the game.
You should make a badge and sam a scout. There you go, you
could two seventeen recovery scout. Yeah, you guys want to play for us?
No lillygagging out there, fun, straight fundamental. If they hit eight
people on our team, damn it, we're gonna hit somebody in the booty.
You give it to him right in the ass. Drill them hard,
right in the ass. Pabulous. Yeah, I'll have to get all up
in it. Well I was talking about with the baseball. Yeah, hit
him like, drill them with the baseball. And not like I'll have to
get all up in it. I don't. Not like. No, Mitch
