Yeah, and we went out 9 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.960 well I would say we went out, but I was there, but you 10 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.679 actually went and did some disc golfing over the weekend. How was that fabulous? 11 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.640 It was kind of a pain, but I got through it. Yeah. 12 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.039 The guys were saying that you were texting them saying I hurt everywhere. 13 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.880 Yeah, it was. It was not a weak course. No, it's 14 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.319 just Hickory Hills. It should be Hickory Mouldin. Yeah. Everybody was just 15 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.920 dying and days later still complaining. And one guy that went out there his 16 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.239 name Bryce, and he's like, man, I give Mitchell a lot of 17 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:22.560 credit. Yeah, because missus bigger than most people and he was out there 18 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.319 doing it man, and yeah, he's all about that, being active and 19 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.480 changing his life around. You know, he was. I don't know if 20 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:38.359 I'm sure he told you the story about how he was actually bedridden. Yeah, 21 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.959 I think so, and like just going p was a chore and it 22 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.359 was just a nightmare. But he started doing a little exercises and actually was 23 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.519 able to get up out of bed and started walking. And so he's he's 24 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.159 changing his life, you know, and he's in recovery and you know, 25 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.280 to change your life from that and from you know, being severely overweight. 26 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.120 It's it's great story he's got. Yeah, it's definitely impressive. It definitely 27 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.920 gives me encouragement. Yeah, I think would you say, You're like, 28 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.080 I can't I can't leave if Mitch is up there, if mister is still 29 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.360 going, I gotta still do it too. Yeah, because if you can 30 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.080 do it, I can do it. I think that's what gave us awful 31 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.879 really, because Mitch is still doing it and not ready to give up on 32 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.800 it. That's awesome. Because even Bryce was like, man, that course 33 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:30.240 is a pain. Yeah, I'm so glad I was just broadcasting. I 34 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.199 bet yeah. It was hot. It was one hundred and eighteen degrees that 35 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.719 day. I don't know if you knew that no humidity. I checked it. 36 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.840 It felt like it. My shirt was drenched by the time I got 37 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.439 done. And you were your fabulous I know you were. You want to 38 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:49.560 buy a shirt?

It's like Vinyl ye and that's a T shirt 41 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.520 that says want to buy a shirt on it. Yeah, it's pretty funny. 42 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.240 Yeah, this is fabulous. Yeah, I like it. Of course 43 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.879 that all is from the idea that we had from the you famiily. But 44 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.400 I want to talk to you today, mister Burke, about a blog of 45 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:21.039 yours. Yeah, What's Up that I read last week and it really hit 46 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.960 home because you went through some personal things recently. Yeah, and very hurtful 47 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:30.080 things were said. It's just just a whole horrible process, and you are 48 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:38.360 now starting to like pick the pieces up. Whatever happened happened. You're dusting 49 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.240 yourself off, and you're getting back to being you yeah, for sure. 50 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.800 And I respect that man, because even you said when you started going through 51 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:52.039 this situation that you're called a guy, you know, like, hey man, 52 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.159 let's school get drunk and he was in recovery and was like nope. 53 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.319 Yeah. It actually surprised me because we used we're old drinking buddies, and 54 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.280 I figured you was always up for a good time. And yeah, it 55 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:11.599 totally changed. That was awesome. That's the guy you called and he kind 56 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.319 of saved your ass. Yeah, pretty much. And you went from that 57 00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:18.680 to like now you're just like in the blog, you're you're talking about what 58 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.959 you're going to meetings again. You know, you're you're finding things to do 59 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.000 with yourself, and you gotta like yourself before anybody else to like you, 60 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.240 right, and you're finding those things that you like to do. And do 61 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.879 you live in a big mansion on the lake. No, not yet. 62 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.639 Doesn't mean you can't one day, right, you know. But whatever circumstance 63 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.319 we're stuck in, it feels like we're stuck in or whatever we're going through, 64 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.240 it feels it feels like hell. Sometimes it feels like we're never gonna 65 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.360 get out of it, but you just give it time and the next thing, 66 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.079 you know, things aren't changing and you're you're starting to find yourself again. 67 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.639 And I was talking to you the other day about being codependent. And 68 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.319 sometimes you'll get sucked right into that shit man, like you want to even 69 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.759 see it coming. Yeah, it sucks. You just think, Oh, 70 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.839 I'm being a nice guy, you know, like like to do things for 71 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.600 people, like to help people out. The next thing, you know, 72 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.759 you're sucked right in. You know, everything that you do is based on 73 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.920 what is this person going to be happy if I do this? Or will 74 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:25.800 this person be okay if I do this? And in your case, sometimes 75 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.160 the person will come along and just be not fun, just to ruin your 76 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.399 time of anything. You know, And if you kind of look deeper at 77 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.120 the situation, you know, which I'm sure you will, because everything that 78 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.920 we go through is an experience that we learn from. So I guarantee you 79 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.160 you start seeing some run flags again, you're gonna be like, hmm, 80 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.519 be down that road exactly. I don't want to do that again. And 81 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.360 it still hurts, you know, but it does, but we get through 82 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.399 it. We know that I know that my higher power has got something better 83 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:08.199 playing for me. He saved you there that bullet and I used to joke 84 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.040 and say I was going to build a time machine stuff like that, and 85 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.279 then I realized I didn't want to build a time machine because I don't want 86 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.360 to go back and do all that stuff over. And you can't change the 87 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.199 past anyway. No, we just learned from it and move on. Yea. 88 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:27.199 And there was a relationship I had that was kind of it was horrible. 89 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.399 I shouldn't have been in it, and nothing I can do about it, 90 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.959 you know, like what happened happened. But the only thing I could 91 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:40.959 do is make sure I didn't repeat those mistakes again, right, And so 92 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.120 that's why I kind of focused on And you know, there was a woman 93 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:49.800 that and I went on some dates whatever, and she just started throwing them 94 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:55.000 red flags up, you know, and I'm like, nah, I dumped 95 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.040 her over a text. But I didn't know it was a text though it 96 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.720 was. There was a Facebook messenger. I thought that was different. No, 97 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.839 that's still classified as a text. Well, see, I didn't know 98 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:10.759 at the time. Ignorance. Ignorance is blessed sometimes that's what they say. 99 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.079 Yeah, well she said something nice, not nice things to me, and 100 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:23.480 that actually added validation to my decision to like yet, Nope, I'm not 101 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.360 gonna do that. IM not gonna settle. Yeah, I'm not gonna beet 102 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.759 a relationship that isn't good for me or doesn't move me forward. And I'm 103 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.319 not gonna be treated that way. And I don't love treatment. I wrote 104 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.000 down, you know, some stuff, and one of the things was don't 105 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.560 settle and be with someone who's gonna love you like you love them, you 106 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.639 know. And yeah, I thought I found that, but evidently not. 107 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:53.639 But it's all right. It's tricky, you know. Um, someone comes 108 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.399 into your life and it's new and it's exciting, and like I said, 109 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.879 some people can just suck you in and you don't even realize what's going on 110 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.480 right now. Your boy did say some red flags here through me. I 111 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.680 should listen to one Field. I need one of those T shirts. You're 112 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.839 in time Rome both yea. But I did mention some stuff. But then 113 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.319 at the end of the day, I'm not gonna sit there and beat you 114 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.160 up over it every single day. You know, there's a point where it's 115 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.360 like, well, Justin's happy, so just be happy for him, you 116 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.560 know, Like I said, what I need to just say, I guess 117 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.600 but but you'll know, and you needed to go through from some some weird 118 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.159 way, you needed to go through this. Yeah, it had to happen 119 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.120 just like it did. But now for sure you know, things are are 120 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.559 looking good, man, I think, and it don't sweat it, don't 121 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.080 look for it. It'll happen. Yeah, you know, and been hanging 122 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.120 out with the guys a lot lately after work we go disc golfing and whatnot. 123 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.519 We try to do something fun together and they're fun dudes man. Yeah, 124 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.679 mention Jeremy Adam was like, they don't ever ask me to do anything, 125 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.159 and I was like, yeah, because I don't like you, dude, 126 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.840 I didn't say that. Well, no, I think a lot of 127 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.240 it is just that the fact we know he lives an hour away. After 128 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.200 we get out of work at five, you know, sometimes we don't get 129 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.399 done disc golf until eight o'clock at night, so for him to have to 130 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.320 drive another hour home, you know, and he's got a family actually at 131 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.000 home, so yeah, it makes a big difference. Yeah, he's got 132 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.960 to probably mow the yard, get dinner ready, whatever it is. You 133 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.559 know, like, yeah, you don't have to do that. It just 134 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.519 doesn't have to do that German doesn't have to do that, you know, 135 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.799 like you guys have that bachelor life where you can go do that, and 136 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.840 you know, I think he understands. And I just was like, yeah, 137 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.679 we'll wait till you do. Ask him then turn him down. Right. 138 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.360 If he turns you down hardcore, that was because I told him to 139 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.799 do that. So I don't take your personal I don't think you would anyway. 140 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.080 No, no, but it's good to see you guys hanging out and 141 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.039 doing things outside of work. I did ask if he was going to the 142 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.600 email you out or smarting for the baseball game. Yeah, so fun. 143 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.559 I plan on going. I don't know who else does. I'm sure Jeremy 144 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.519 will go. Yeah, it should be pretty cool. It's on Sunday. 145 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:22.000 Yeah, you said you're not going. I might go. Probably you should 146 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.679 yeah, probably. Well, well I told him I would go, so 147 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.639 I should go. But yeah, that'll be fun. Another chance for everybody 148 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.840 to kind of hang out and do our thing. But no, I want 149 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.480 to talk to you about something that we started yesterday and it is a blog 150 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.639 assignment, or actually what started Monday evening right, Yeah, and how the 151 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.480 blog assignment works. It's kind of like the two seventeen game that we used 152 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.320 to play in treatment where we would give each other stuff to say and then 153 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.799 we have to say it. And looking back, and even at the time, 154 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.039 we realized that it was so much easier to say the stuff that was 155 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.679 really on our mind because we had to say this embarrassing stuff for this funny 156 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.039 stuff. If we had to say it with a straight face and work into 157 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.320 a real story, that became harder than actually telling the real story that we've 158 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.399 been hiding for for a long time, you know. And so it was 159 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.559 it was an easy way to kind of open up. And so this is 160 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.080 with blogs. And I don't give you a word to say. I give 161 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.679 you like a title and something you have to to blog about. And I 162 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.360 gave four different categories. You did yours and Mitch did his. And if 163 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.399 if you read Mitch's blog, you're gonna have a hard time figuring out which 164 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:41.480 one was the the assigned blog title and blog topic. I think so, 165 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:48.559 because I mean, it's a Mitchell blog, you know. And Marnie was 166 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.279 like, Oh, you can't do that to those guys. You're gonna make 167 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.759 them on I'm like, no, honey, like it actually does help. 168 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.559 And I try to explain to my right theory. I thought it was fun 169 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.240 theory to her. Yeah, came in yesterday right after the dentists and you're 170 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.320 busy doing something. I just sat down typed out a quick blog, real 171 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.320 quick. Maybe I was the first one so that I could pick the topic 172 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.840 I wanted. Smart man, I know, and you can run with him 173 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:20.799 too. And once Adam complete citizen about I'm be surprised. Well, maybe 174 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.320 he'll do it today. But when he when he completes his which is about 175 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.039 um, well, two different topics, and I'll go ahead and say his 176 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.120 it's five things that my mom and dad didn't know about me, which could 177 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.519 be interesting, could be scary, right, And then the other one is 178 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.320 about a certain movie that he's excited to see. So once he completes that, 179 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.200 then I'll kind of talk to you guys about here's some ideas, because 180 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.159 I want to do this game too. That's what I realized. Is that 181 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:58.600 why you rule four things? Yeah? Maybe I did a blog yesterday too 182 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.679 about it. So if you want to read more about what I'm talking about, 183 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.399 to seventeen recovery dot com, but check out Justin's blog. Like I 184 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.759 said, I read your blog the other day and when you were talking about, 185 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.120 you know, getting back to yourself and do that hit home And I'm 186 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:16.320 just like, that's great, you know, and that's it's good to hear 187 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.320 that, and it's it's good that you're sharing that with other people as well, 188 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.000 right because other people need to hear it. Because there's when we hit 189 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.799 that point in sobriety too, that we get a couple of years and we 190 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.919 didn't we think that we don't need the meetings, we don't need all the 191 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.039 basic stuff that got us to where we're at, and we started slacking. 192 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.679 It shows in our daily life tremendously. You and my mom noticed it in 193 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.799 me when I quit going to meetings. She's like, you know, you're 194 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.600 not as thoughtful as kind person as you used to be. Kind of took 195 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.120 me back a little bit. I'm like what, and she's like, no, 196 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:58.120 the old jew starting to show again. And it's pretty scary. So 197 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:05.120 moms will tell us how it is too. Yeah, did you take offense 198 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.879 to that or did you just we're just trying to be mindful of what she 199 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.120 just told you. I was trying to be mindful of what she just told 200 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.159 me. I didn't like snap back at her were nothing. You know. 201 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.919 I was like, well, maybe you are right. I mean, I 202 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.519 do need to go to more meetings. I live in an area where we 203 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.120 can go to a meeting at any time, so there's no excuse. So 204 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.519 that's where I just have to get up and do it. Can you work 205 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.080 at a place that can hold a meeting at any time? Right, call 206 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.960 up some friends, Yo'll get up here. Through that, I have a 207 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.200 meeting. Yeah, that's the cool thing about the two seventeen Recovery Centers. 208 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.279 People can come here and host for meetings and a a dharma meeting. Dharma 209 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.279 meetings on Tuesdays, and they're gonna have a new one on Fridays at six 210 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.120 Tuesdays, six Fridays at six here at the two seventeen Recovery Center and people 211 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.120 like dharma. And it was kind of packed yesterday. Yeah, well so 212 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.240 I plan on going to it, and I was just going to let all 213 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.200 the new guys go to it instead because it was pack little room. Yeah, 214 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.320 of course you can join on zoom, and a couple of people did, 215 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.879 which is cool. But yeah, any kind of meaning that anybody wants 216 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.039 to start, you know, it's so to them, we're gonna start. 217 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.960 I think it's called work of Art. It's gonna be an art meeting. 218 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.120 I can't remember the exact name, but in the first week, which is 219 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.279 gonna be this week, but I think it's gonna be next week. Well 220 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.960 for Adam, it's going to be today too. But we're gonna make T 221 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.919 shirts. You know, we have a couple of cricket machines and we'll show 222 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.600 people how to make T shirts. Or somebody has a design they want to 223 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.279 make, we'll show them how to make that, help them make it, 224 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:52.440 help them use the cricket software and print it out. I know you're kind 225 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.720 of interested in this kind of stuff too, Yeah, so you can print 226 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.559 out your fabulous shirts. It was my goal last week was learning how to 227 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.840 make a shirt, and it's just the next step is learning, Like I 228 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.519 learned how to weed out all this stuff and use your heat press. I'm 229 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.000 the only one in the office besides you that can actually use it. Nice, 230 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.320 which is kind of impressive. Nice. Yeah, But at some point 231 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.480 we're gonna have to to get a new one though, and everybody else don't 232 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.200 have to press shirts too. Yeah. Now I wonder though, and maybe 233 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.120 if someone make shirts out there and just happen to be listening to this podcast. 234 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.720 I don't know why you would be, but like, I don't know 235 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:36.000 if there's something with altitude. But at the house, at the home office, 236 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.279 I would press them they'd be fine. And here it seems like we 237 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.320 have to press them twice, same temperature, same amount of time. I 238 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.120 just don't understand what's going on with that. Yeah, I don't either. 239 00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.840 It just doesn't make sense. Doesn't make sense to me neither. I'm learning. 240 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.759 Like you asked me the other day, what you guys only did three 241 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:03.519 shirts? Well, we repressed everything twice and so hopefully it would stick. 242 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.119 Yeah, it would be like four minutes per shirt. You guys are out 243 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.400 there for eight hours. Yeah, they put on a full day at the 244 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.119 shop and then three shirts, Like where are the rest of them now? 245 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.039 And we didn't really want to do all the shirts anyway, but yeah, 246 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.119 it takes a minute to learn how to do it, but you know, 247 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.079 we really wanted to start that. Or we're going to start that meeting and 248 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.160 we'll post it online when we do. And if you have questions, feel 249 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.519 free to call the office two three one four two one nineteen o three. 250 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:40.680 Yeah, and just like Hey, when's that work of art group? Yeah, 251 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.400 Colin, everyone calling and bug Mitchell. Yeah, I like, when's 252 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.519 the work of art group? He'll be great. Yeah, he'll appreciate it. 253 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:53.119 He really likes answering the phone is something that he's good added to ye, 254 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.279 yes, you know, I remember when he first started. He would 255 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.480 get so frustrated because he would come ask us questions and then we'd be like, 256 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.720 well, ask him this, and then he asked him that, and 257 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.640 then I don't know, it was funny. And everybody's kind of growing into 258 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:11.759 their role. I think a lot better. And it's just nice to see 259 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:18.440 people feeling like they fit in and yeah, actually fitting in, you know, 260 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.799 hanging out with co workers. You're going to meetings and you know, 261 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.960 Mitch and Jeremy they're funny. Yeah there, and they're gonna start a podcast. 262 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.519 I can't wait to listen to their podcast. Did you hear what they 263 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:37.440 were calling it? They're reactive redacted something. Yeah, yeah, but it 264 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.400 should be good. And I was up at five am. I was looking 265 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.480 for some equipment to buy them, and I was like, nah, I'm 266 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.480 not gonna buy him anything. You know, I'll help them start it, 267 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:52.000 and you know they can use the platform, but I think and I would 268 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.480 assume they would want to do it on their own. I mean, there 269 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.880 were people that wanted to do podcasts you know, with us or for us, 270 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.000 whatever you want to call it, and they wanted to be a part 271 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.359 of the two seventeen thing. And I think it was because they didn't want 272 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.480 to pay for anything, which is cool, and if they don't have money, 273 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.039 then we can still swing them on that somehow. But you know that 274 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.279 I would assume they would want to start their own thing. You know, 275 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.559 I'll help them, right absolutely. I'll hope anybody who really wants to do 276 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:23.240 something, but for them to have it be their own, you know. 277 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:27.720 Yeah, it's kind of busting our balls yesterday about that, telling them that 278 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:30.680 they need to get a board like you got, yeah, and they were 279 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.440 asking, well, how much is that? I was like, oh, 280 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.920 that's only a couple hundred used. You can get it used like three fifty, 281 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.640 and new is it's still like six hundred. And then they got a 282 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:47.079 new one it's like seven ninety nine, and well maybe you might have to 283 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.720 buy a new one, the updated one, so you could like give them 284 00:19:51.759 --> 00:20:00.440 a cheap discount on one seventeen Recovery is a nonprofit. Corey Winfield is not. 285 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.640 No I've hooked people. I hooked you up before with some stuff, 286 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.079 so like, I don't know what we'll see, and I just think that 287 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.240 they're gonna want to do it on their own at the end of the day. 288 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.720 You know, they're gonna want to be their own boss. They're gonna 289 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:21.039 want to do their own thing, you know, and have their own website 290 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.039 hopefully, yeah, you know, and we'll put links on our website, 291 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.359 you know, like we're gonna be friends. You know. I'll promote them, 292 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.200 you know, and they can cross promote, you know, like nothing 293 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.960 wrong with that, but that way they don't have to worry about, oh 294 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.559 did we say that this or that. Now Corey is gonna be mad. 295 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.759 Hey man, that's not my podcast, that's your guys' podcast. I'm just 296 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:47.599 helping you. They're both smart individuals, hustle for some money if they need 297 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.279 some, you know. Like when we started, I was starting to tell 298 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.680 them yesterday we just had one mic and I think we threw it out there 299 00:20:53.759 --> 00:21:00.519 that we needed a table and a tent for this event, and people started 300 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.599 donating, you know, money to us. So that was very hopeful. 301 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.680 For sure, you know, and I'm sure they have enough people in their 302 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.000 lives that are proud of them that would be like, hey, here's twenty 303 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:12.039 bucks you know towards that board, or you know how much Spreaker cost or 304 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:18.160 how much the website costs. And the cool thing about starting up a podcast 305 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.799 or a website, there's always deals, like if they were to sign up, 306 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.720 like just don't go out and buy the plan right now, but just 307 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.640 put your email in sign up, do their little free plan, and then 308 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.839 you start getting these emails like hey, here's eighty percent off, you know, 309 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.200 and you're like, okay, cool, yeah, Or when you do 310 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:40.720 subscribe to the little plan, they're like, hey, just for ten dollars 311 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.319 more a year, you can have this plan. You're like, oh damn. 312 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.160 But then once you've been in it for a minute, then they don't 313 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:48.799 care and you get zero discounts. And then you tell them ham's gonna let 314 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.880 my stuff cancel, and then the next day I'll go ahead and take advantage 315 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.920 of the discount. They're like okay, and then they build me anyway and 316 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.559 take it right out of my account even though my credit card expired. Yeah 317 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.599 that was my stop. I was real messed up. They did that, 318 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.279 and then our apted that to me as well. I was like, what 319 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:10.319 in the f man, that's so we don't need expiration dates or what is 320 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.839 that just for ordering pizzas where we can? I really don't understand what's the 321 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.720 point of that. I don't know if they're taking money out anyway. I 322 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.759 should have disputed it. You should have. You had time too, Yeah, 323 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.240 you tell us all to do that stuff. Yeah, I mean, 324 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.039 at the end of the day, it was I was so mad about it 325 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:36.160 that I think that would have just or it could have pushed me over the 326 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:41.599 edge. Yeah, And I don't want to go over the edge, man, 327 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.480 I'm living a pretty good life. That edge gets real slippery. Yeah, 328 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:48.960 Like why did you go back out? Why why did you think today 329 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.279 was a good day to drink? Because speaker made me mad? You know, 330 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.279 like that that'd be silly. So you just gotta know when to pick 331 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.480 your battles, and that one I just had to walk away from, kind 332 00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:02.559 of like uh p GI Graphics and Potoski who screwed up a bunch of our 333 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.640 hats. I was so furious, and they screwed them up like two or 334 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.480 three times, and then I was like, just giving our money back and 335 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.039 they're like, no, we did them how we're supposed to do them. 336 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.000 And I was like, you you sewed in the sweatband, you idiot, 337 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.400 Like what are you talking about. You're not supposed to do it that way. 338 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.759 And I talked to other people in the industry and they're like, that's 339 00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.759 a rookie mistake. I'm like, yeah, they screwed up our hats, 340 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.519 you know, like one of our logos was a circle and they didn't even 341 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:33.559 have it connecting. Like that's how oft it was. So yeah, clearly 342 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.160 I haven't forgiven them. I don't know if I ever will, but I 343 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.960 just got to know when to say when and just move on with my own 344 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.279 sanity. And right, we need to get some new hats made with the 345 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.039 new logo wan By Hat. Is that your new thing? Sure? So 346 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.000 you're gonna have a shirt that says one buy a shirt, and you're gonna 347 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.720 have a hat this I want to buy a hat? Yep, why not? 348 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:56.640 And we could flip it around and have your hats. They want to 349 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.240 buy a shirt in your shirts? They want to buy a hat? Yeah, 350 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:06.720 a little QR code on you walking billboard? Yeah, that's how we 351 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.119 get it done. Like, what are you doing, Justin? Well, 352 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.000 I'm gonna go to the mall sell some shirts and then you ask them that 353 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.119 the most awkward time. Yep. That's how you get them. Yep, 354 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.000 catch them off guard. What are they gonna say? Uh yeah, right, 355 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.759 perfect strategy. It was she bought a shirt that lady did we gave 356 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.119 everyone? How did we? Yeah? I think she's still gave us money 357 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.839 though she did donate yeah to our cause. Yeah, so that was nice. 358 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.920 That lady was pretty cool. But um, yeah, well we'll look 359 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:37.960 into the hats. I know, I got a hat pressed thing, but 360 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:45.119 you know, the embroidered ones. I like those right, but I can't 361 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.920 get anybody to do them. That's mess it up. You need to buy 362 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.480 an embroidering machine. So look for hats coming soon. But Justin, I 363 00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:55.960 know you got to get out of here, but I just want to have 364 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:57.119 you on for a minute to kind of talk about where you're at. And 365 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.039 then I really liked your blog and thank you. You know, it shows 366 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.480 growth and recovery and where you are in life. And you know, thank 367 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.079 god you call the right person, you know when you did, and you 368 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.519 kind of talked you out of some bad ideas, and it's good to see 369 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.279 you getting out there and living life again, man, not just giving up 370 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:21.000 and actually doing things that you like to do and discovering yourself again. And 371 00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.079 yeah, this is still a pretty new life to you. Yeah, you 372 00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.799 know, compared to your old way of living. And so I've only been 373 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.519 at it for a few years, so yeah, it's still pretty new. 374 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.240 And when you're with somebody waiting for like a year. Yeah. See, 375 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:41.279 I bounced around from sober living houses to actually being with someone to actually just 376 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.839 being by myself now, you know, because I have two roommates, but 377 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.559 we don't hardly ever see each other, so it's like I'm by myself. 378 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.240 And it was like rough at the start, Like you sold me a PlayStation 379 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.960 really cheap, just to give me something to do to keep my attention spans 380 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.319 somewhere else. So I mean all those little things helped. Yeah, and 381 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:06.759 you kind of lucked into that place. Nobody. I mean, there's in 382 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.759 traversity, there's so many people looking for places. Yeah, I really did. 383 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.039 I mean, everything happens for a reason, and as crazy as it 384 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.640 silence, you'll look back and go, wow, like you landed pretty good. 385 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.240 Yeah I did, Thanks Marnie.
