But you're not on a microphone, Mitch. 15 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.239 It doesn't work that way. Chime, and there is a microphone right by 16 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:19.159 him. All I had to turn it on and he has to grab it. 17 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.719 But that's too much because they're actually handling the mics for this. It's 18 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.840 behind Adam, so he's reaching behind Adam. Let's do play by play. 19 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.799 Oh, he hits the mirror that's not in the window. Window. I'm 20 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.400 tired of to our sleep. So you were saying, am I mudded, 21 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.640 Yeah, but you don't have headphones, no, saying. We weren't supposed 22 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.840 to tell him about the week, so it was fresh and news. So 23 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.560 you just get up there and you know it was going to be raw because 24 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.640 you know how we like it. Yeah, but raw that happened, not 25 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.799 happening. Nah, that's not happening. But Adam is going to be up 26 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.439 there with me, and it's gonna be Lenny kicking things off, and then 27 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:10.159 Kendra and then Adam, then myself, and then we're gonna have Mary Ego 28 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:16.240 and she is head of the Woman's Treatment Center here in Traverse City, and 29 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.879 then David is going to go and he's the head of the Dream Center for 30 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.439 Men here in Traverse City.

Doors open at five, starts 33 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.840 slinging sketty like five point thirty, and then we start the we start the 34 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.120 stories at six, and then we go into the messages of hope and stuff. 35 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.159 So fabulous, it'll be a good time. You're looking forward to it? 36 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:53.080 Yeah? Are you looking forward to your brethren Adam telling his recovery story 37 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:53.879 because you didn't get to go with us. You were supposed to go, 38 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.680 but then we had to fire somebody and then we just I had Yeah, 39 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.719 then you had rides to do, but if you went with us, you 40 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.520 would have been up there. Probably Does that make you like glad that you 41 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.919 had rides? God has his own plan for me, So I'm kind of 42 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.400 glad I had rides. You're touched by Jesus just says you're touched? You 43 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:22.560 much show me on this doll. We'll not We'll get at that in different 44 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.639 episode. Because there's some questions being thrown around in the studio last week, 45 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.039 and we were like, but anyway, I figured I would let you guys 46 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.520 interview me and Mitch. I know you're starting a podcast with you and Adam 47 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.840 redacted, and it's getting some legs to it. It takes a minute to 48 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.319 get things going, but once you get a dial Dan, you'll be run 49 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.319 in with it. But I figured I would let you. I will give 50 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:51.199 you the pleasure and give you the opportunity to interview me about this event that 51 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.719 we're having, and I could be like your first ever podcast interview, kind 52 00:03:54.759 --> 00:04:04.240 of big deal, very prepared. Yeah I wasn't. This is the stick 53 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.960 The whole time was to get me on the mic because he didn't want to 54 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.800 do it. How do you think it would have went if justin all right, 55 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.800 justin interview me. It's I mean we can we can just give it 56 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:19.639 a shot and then it'll teach me I think needs a chance, and then 57 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.560 we can have people vote on it. Yeah, all right, like that 58 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:30.560 interview me today? Hell sir, what's your names? My name is Cory. 59 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.120 But that's not that we're on the podcast dude, Like, come on, 60 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.360 man, I don't know how to know. I don't want to buy 61 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:43.519 a shirt. Wow that was your next one? All right, let's do 62 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.800 this. So what made you think of doing an event like this? Actually, 63 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.360 my wife, it was like we got to do events and actually with 64 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.480 the grant we had, we had to do events. And this one was 65 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.319 the first time we're going to do event that we're not actually using grant money, 66 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.480 So we were kind of thinking what could we put on on our own 67 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.519 and what could we do that's fun because if you use grant money sometimes there 68 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.680 as stipulations like you can't use it to buy food, can't use this to 69 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.839 buy this, can't do use this to buy that. I can't do this, 70 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.639 can't do that. And we wanted to do our own thing kind of 71 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.240 and kind of reach out and get in touch with the recovery community. But 72 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.920 Marnie really wanted to put it on as like a fundraiser to see what we 73 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:28.399 could do on our own as another means to raise money. I guess if 74 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.920 somebody did want to donate, how do they go about doing that? There's 75 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.839 different ways, Like at the event, you can just come up to me 76 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.480 and slash some cash in my pocket. You know what I'm saying, No, 77 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.000 but you can't. You can write a check, do envelope stuff like 78 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.279 that. You can also go to our website to seventeen recovery dot com slash 79 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:54.600 support. It's either slash support or slash donate. It's one of those two. 80 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.360 Is this something that you just came up with you and Marnie or is 81 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.720 it something that you've been kind of caminating over the years and something we just 82 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.360 kind of came up with, like when do we want to do an event? 83 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.519 Well, let's do one in October. I thought that was a cool 84 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.680 month, and we had just wrapped up Recovery Month, so we didn't really 85 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.040 want to do it then in September, so we figured October be a good 86 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:23.279 month. And then the name of it it just I don't know. I 87 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.839 was talking with David g actually, who's going to be one of the speakers 88 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.720 there, and he was asking about, Okay, well, what do you 89 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.759 want me to do? What do you want me to talk about? You 90 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.040 know, and it's like, just you know, your story, but we 91 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.519 don't want to you know, the whole details of the bad parts. You 92 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.560 know. He's like, oh, so just that that hope part. You 93 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.040 just want that hope part. And I was like yeah, and so that's 94 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.199 how a kind of message of hope. But then it's like, well, 95 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:55.560 Recovery stories because Adam and I and Kendrack and Lenny went to the Recovery Story's 96 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.759 training and they told us how to like tell a story, but not our 97 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.519 whole story, but just like take a little piece of our story and put 98 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.879 that into like three to five minutes and tell that. So it's like recovery 99 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.920 stories, message of hope. Yeah, I know how to do that because 100 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.720 it didn't get to go to that train. But anyway, so I think 101 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.519 you were going to I was, and then things happened and so we got 102 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:24.079 fired and yeah, so I don't know if he got fired, he just 103 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.199 didn't. We don't want to be here anymore. But that's yeah, it's 104 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:33.680 yeah, whatever. Back to the interview. So when you started all of 105 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.439 this was like four and a half five is years ago. Yeah. I 106 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.360 got out of treatment in twenty nineteen, of March, March of twenty nineteen, 107 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.920 and then April, I think we dine our first podcast, and by 108 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:55.040 May I already had our business going through the Michigan State website, a nonprofit, 109 00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.360 and we had it incorporated incorporated, and then there's different stuffs you have 110 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.439 to do. For sure, I go down to the city Hall and say 111 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.040 I'm starting a business. Here's what your ten dollars, and then you got 112 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.240 to pay the state like twenty five and then there's just things you have to 113 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.959 do on the way to the nonprofit. It took me, I think, 114 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.240 like nine months to actually get the nonprofit paperwork done. It's a lot of 115 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.000 paperwork and to send it off to the irs, and it was like six 116 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.639 hundred bucks and I didn't have six hundred bucks. I needed to wait for 117 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.279 my college money to come in. Back when you were doing all of that 118 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.639 and you were starting this, if you're making a business and you had dreams 119 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.639 of what you wanted it to be, did you ever first see doing something 120 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.360 like this? Was this on the hopes and dreams? Or what would your 121 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.080 four and a half year old, four and a half year old ago self 122 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.000 think of yourself today. So back when I was like forty one, I 123 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.200 mean, p's man, I don't know. I was just trying to get 124 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.000 the podcast off the ground, and I was trying to get the five to 125 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.120 one C three thing done. I was trying to learn how to live sober, 126 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.639 you know, and sober living home. So I knew I want to 127 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:20.399 do something with it. And one thing it gave me was motivation. I 128 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.080 didn't know what the hell I was doing, and to learn new things and 129 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.000 to figure those things out is what really kind of gave me drive and kept 130 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.399 me going to stay sober. And then, you know, once we started 131 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.120 transporting people to them from treatment, that was just like a whole nother thing. 132 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.240 And then opening a recovery community center. You know, it's awesome. 133 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.799 We get to see new people all the time. We get to help them 134 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.879 start meetings. We see them, you know, come in when they're struggling, 135 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.759 we see them come in when they're having a great time. You know. 136 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.639 So it's it's a great thing. And what's next movies? I don't 137 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.240 know, part two, part two, yeah, probably part two of you 138 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.320 first, but that's another thing. Though. I want to I want to 139 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.679 film this and I'm gonna ask your guys' help doing this too, you know, 140 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.240 because I have three four cameras maybe allegedly, and we're gonna film it 141 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.279 and piece it together and see how it looks, and then maybe we can 142 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.440 charge hey for a two dollars donation or you know, for a million dollar 143 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.080 donation. We'll give you a T shirt and you can keep this movie. 144 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.600 It's a good value. Yeah, we should shoot like behind the scenes stuff, 145 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:37.320 the director's cut, with the the editorial whatever. Yeah, you can 146 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.440 do that silent phone bro. Yeah, So that's that was my That's all 147 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.960 I got for Okay, that was much better than justin what's your name? 148 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.559 I don't know how to do an interview. I'm sorry. That's all right. 149 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.080 Your blogs are getting better though. Hospital Adam's going to the hospital. 150 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.480 Got to dodge cameras and everything. Now, sorry Adam. This and this 151 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.080 is why people are like, you don't do video when you do a podcast 152 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.879 painting in the butt. Yeah, imagine if we had two more cameras on 153 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.600 one on you and one on Mitch. Yeah, it'd be all over the 154 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.159 place. And I know they make them where I could put it in the 155 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.320 corner and record all of us, but that's not what people want to see. 156 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.440 And I don't want to put a table in a room and it looks 157 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.799 like we're having dinner. I could do that, but i'd rather or not. 158 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.080 I'm there to just do the podcast and dinner podcast. There are people 159 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.159 that do them and then they do them well on video, but I'm a 160 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.320 radio guy, so it's like, eh, But for this, we're doing 161 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.679 a little video promo for promoting the event on Thursday, So I think that's 162 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.000 why we're doing it. I know that's why we're doing it so early too. 163 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.720 It's been interesting starting my own or our own podcast all the different ways 164 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.799 people do it, because there isn't one way. There is like the other 165 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.879 sides of the table. There's the the what I call the morning show approach, 166 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.320 where there's a couple of chairs and you know, you kind of angled 167 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.879 sit next to across from each other, you know, and then talk to 168 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.200 each other towards more like one camera or one and then there's one over here 169 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.360 when over there, you know, like that for the the video podcasts. 170 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:30.679 One that interested me was almost like I call it the news anchor. You 171 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.039 do a podcast where you sit at like a desk, right and if you're 172 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.200 here with your mic and the other person is sitting right next to you and 173 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.320 you're both pointing in the same direction, but you're having a conversation like you 174 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:48.120 would be right across from each other, and that one's interesting. I don't 175 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.919 know how easy. That'd be kind of difficult, I think. I think 176 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.360 if you're playing different clips and videos, it would be okay, but it 177 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.799 would it would be awkward just to like if I was talking with Justin or 178 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.679 if I was talking with you and I wasn't looking at you and I was 179 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.159 just looking over here. Yeah, Mitch, that's great. You know that 180 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.919 would be awkward. Yeah, that's kind of how we started our podcast because 181 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.960 of the space that we had to do it in and and stuff, and 182 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.120 it did get a little weird, and then people would be like, well, 183 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.639 why can't we hear you anymore? Mitchell, It's because I'm trying to 184 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.679 look over this direction, you know, And it was just it was kind 185 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.840 of difficult. But with help from a very good mentor from the podcast world, 186 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.840 we've made leaps and bounds in that direction. Yeah. So I was 187 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.320 checking up you guys more. But it'll come together. Man, if you 188 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.240 go back and listen to my early ones, they're bad. You know. 189 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.679 We had one microphone we're passing around between three people. Man. Yeah, 190 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.639 and you know when it has an echo on it, you know. I 191 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.120 was like telling you about that. And the reason I knew about that because 192 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.679 it happened to me many times, you know, and even when I thought 193 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.480 I had it dialed in, and that was that was a pain too, 194 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.559 because we'd do it and we we we'd check it and it wouldn't be there, 195 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.399 and then we'd take it like and just and we'd run a podcast and 196 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:15.360 dirtis what. It's very frustrating, the little monster hiding behind the the monitor 197 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.720 of the computer and it just jumps out and goes, ah, I got 198 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.120 you. But now I even had these little bitty mics, man, and 199 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.480 we use these, like Marty and I will use them, and of course 200 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.639 we don't do it while we're driving, but sometimes when we're driving we'll put 201 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.960 these on and you clip them on and they think there's like twenty bucks. 202 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.840 Actually these are free because I reviewed them and some company from China was like, 203 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.279 leave us a review and I was like okay, and then I was 204 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.200 like, yeah, those aren't as good as the other ones. And then 205 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.519 the other company who I said wasn't as good was like, hey, we 206 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.840 got some new ones. Here some and here's the one for camera. And 207 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.600 I was like, okay. We used a couple of those mics now during 208 00:14:50.799 --> 00:15:00.320 that one production that we put together earlier in the year, our first professional 209 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.720 production that we all did together. I thought we had the other blue one, 210 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.720 the clip on one. Maybe I thought these were clip on ones. 211 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.480 Well, these are are like a little since those are new since then these 212 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.759 yeah, no, no, I've had these for a while. You're holding 213 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.600 out on us. Well, no, because the other ones were better, 214 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.879 but the other one I was gonna use for this, but I left them 215 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.080 at the crib, so I left them on the desk at home. But 216 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.399 yeah, so, I mean there's different things that you can do. But 217 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.080 even these though, as you're like driving down the road or something, or 218 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.440 not driving down the road, but you can use those and they're great. 219 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.720 They're just like little lapel mics. And there's one that actually comes with the 220 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.279 core that does Android iPhone and camera, so I would just buy that one. 221 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.799 Wow, it's not too bad. You know, it's not quality of 222 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:56.240 a sure mic or a electro voice already twenty or anything, but yeah, 223 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.559 it'll do the trick. But you know, I spent one hundred dollars on 224 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:06.039 microphones sent backcaus it sucked, and I bought those fine mics for thirty bucks 225 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.840 and they they sounded just fine. So they're gonna be equipped with up on 226 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.799 that on the twenty six while they're doing their recovery stories or some some little 227 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.840 pell mics, or they're gonna have the gold fashioned Yeah, well I do 228 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.600 have. That's what I should do. I should have tyrone hold that I 229 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.879 have one of those like you see in movies where they're like, who have 230 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.279 boom arm and stuff? And I have a mic for it. It's in 231 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.879 the drawer. Dance with it when the song and it sounds pretty good, 232 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.279 souse. I had Adam sitting here one day and I was like, Adam 233 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.679 talked to me and he did and it sounded great. Poor Tyrone, and 234 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:47.600 he's gonna be like man holding that that you said. We had chicken here, 235 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:53.080 watermelon dance, spaghetti. Am I gonna have to pick up a bucket 236 00:16:53.080 --> 00:17:00.000 on the way over. Tyrone gets his own chicken. If Demer likes chicken, 237 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.599 though he makes some damn killer wings does Yeah, we should just have 238 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:11.200 him make wings for like us. That'd be so rude for a donation that 239 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:19.319 we want to make you some wings too. It's kidding, but it'll be 240 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.799 a good time though this Thursday, and if you want to come out, 241 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.839 feel free. Anybody's welcome. It's the free event. Doors open at five, 242 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.039 start serving dinner at five thirty. If you don't eat, that's cool. 243 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.279 To six o'clock is when we're gonna kick off the thing. And in 244 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.559 the last hour and a half or so, here's a good one. What 245 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.440 I mean, you mentioned a couple of them, But what made you choose 246 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.200 the recovery stories people other than they went through the training on how to do 247 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:51.079 it? Like was there like a backstory or like you knew them? You? 248 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.559 I mean, I know you trust them, but what what's what made 249 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.480 you choose the people that you did. Well. It's funny because Adam, 250 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.440 Lenny, and Kendra and myself were all on treatment together. The very last 251 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:10.039 time I went to treatment, all those people were in there, and so 252 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.039 Kendra and Lenny they work at a treatment center. Adam obviously works for two 253 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.039 to seventeen recovery. But it's just one of those things where it's like, 254 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.480 man, like, we were in treatment together and we were all in the 255 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:25.839 group when one of the one of the guys I believe it was Steven, 256 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.759 who was leading the group, was like, hey, you know, like 257 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.559 two of you out of this whole twenty five are going to make it? 258 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.319 Yeah you know, and eight of you are going to die, and they 259 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.839 like do those things yeah, And I don't know. I was just like 260 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.559 wow, and I was was like, Oh, not gonna happen to me 261 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.079 and everything, Oh two of you gonna make it? Oh, not gonna 262 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:45.519 happen to me, you know, aight, are you gonna die? Oh 263 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.759 well, not gonna happen to me. Yeah, And I was like, 264 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.119 yeah, that's what everybody says, and it still happens. Yeah, And 265 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.519 there have been quite a few people who have died that we were in treatment 266 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.359 with. But you know, we just got to keep moving forward with our 267 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.319 lives and what we're doing, and that those are the choices, man, 268 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.799 like jail's institutions or death. That's it, and you've got to figure it 269 00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:08.680 out, you know, to avoid those things. But we have and it's 270 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.599 kind of like a like a homecoming of sorts, you know, like I 271 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:18.440 love Kenny and Lindra, Kenny and Lindra, I love I love Kenny and 272 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:25.240 Lindra. I love Lenny and Kendra. And I think that it'll be a 273 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:30.359 fun time. You know. It's names have been changed for protection. Yeah, 274 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.160 I started putting too many clues in there. People can figure out who 275 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:40.000 they are. No, it's cool. I like it. I like the 276 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.319 whole the whole thing, you know, behind it. And I'm really looking 277 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:48.680 forward to making the spaghetti. It's gonna be my favorite part. It might 278 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.160 be better than what you think. And Marnie's real stressed out over it, 279 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.200 and I just told her, like, if it's sex with order pizza, 280 00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:57.799 I got little scissors on on speed down man, and we should reach out 281 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.839 to them anyway, by hey, throw some pizzas. That's on the recipe, 282 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.759 actually the case for the spaghetti recipe. It's one of the last steps 283 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:14.200 and call little caesars. I thought Kim was making her spaghetti, so well, 284 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.400 things just things change. Do the sauce, like they're just gonna they're 285 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:18.400 gonna open sauce, put it in the thing, and then they want someone 286 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.039 to stir some stuff into it, like we're not crushing up tomatoes doing home 287 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.599 style stuff. She'd like carrots in no way. It was good stuff, 288 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:33.759 but you know carrots, the carrots in the vegan one. So yeah, 289 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:40.240 I didn't it would have been good. But about Kim because she doesn't listening 290 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:48.200 to this podcast. Oh well, I mean so she did make it, 291 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.960 did try it it. It was really good, but it was it was 292 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:59.920 it was almost bigger than what we're doing. Yeah, we we're bigger than 293 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.720 It's kind of hard to explain, like we had to do something that was 294 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:10.319 more mass producible. Sours was great. But we just didn't have the time 295 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.599 to go and get all the ingredients and break it down and everything. Because 296 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:15.920 she made her from scratch. It was delicious, it was amazing. She's 297 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.960 a really good cook. And I'm not just saying that to like, you 298 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.799 know, fluff her up because she has made stuff. I'm like, Kim, 299 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:30.319 this is gross. She appreciates, she told me she appreciates the feedback, 300 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:37.119 but I also see the look in her eye and wants to hurt me 301 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:42.759 sometimes. But still, so that's you know, that's what that's the story 302 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:52.559 behind the sauce. Well, thanks for that. And I got your ass 303 00:21:52.880 --> 00:22:00.039 two times. Because you can't drive, I can drive. No, we 304 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:06.920 can't ask them how to drive six speed. Okay, Okay, let's go 305 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.200 there. That's their podcast. You gotta go on their podcast. Maybe you 306 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.400 can interview them on their podcast. Somebody didn't tell me that the reverse was 307 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.200 in the wrong direction. All right, it was dark this morning, Oh 308 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:26.160 Jesus, good stuff, good times at TO seventeen Recovery. Well, thanks 309 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:30.400 for listening.
