00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:09.839
This it's the two seventeen Recovery Podcast
with Corey Winfield. Oh yeah, so

2
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.240
you probably want to get yours up
a little a little bit closer. Okay,

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:22.039
you can grab just alright, yes, and co host Marnie Winfield.

4
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.879
I got nothing. Well, you
know, let's let's talk recovery. Is

5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:34.399
that are we supposed to finish that
sentence or something? It is one a

6
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:39.759
third, twenty third September. Here
we are. Yeah, all right.

7
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.240
My name is Cory Winfield, my
name is Martin Field, and this is

8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.640
the two seventeen Recovery Podcast from the
Home studio. Feels good to be home

9
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.320
doing a podcast on a Saturday night. Last few days have been traveling.

10
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.960
M hmmm, a lot of trips
to Potoski. You've been training full Yeah.

11
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:07.480
One was a facilitator meeting training so
you can facilitate not just like AA

12
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.239
meetings and a means, but like
just groups. I think it'd be great

13
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.359
for people who actually work in say, treatment centers, and they have to

14
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.920
run groups. It would be super
super duper helpful for that because it just

15
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.680
kind of helps you transition and helps
you kind of relax and just just some

16
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.920
tricks. Two days worth of those
that was Monday, Tuesday, and then

17
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:38.480
recovery storytelling that was on Thursday and
Friday, and I took Adam with me

18
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.760
and he was pretty excited. If
you don't know Adam, he's I don't

19
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.480
want to say, shy, and
not a lot of people are comfortable talking

20
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.200
in groups, so he's probably normal, you know, that's probably the normal

21
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.920
person thing. But he was really
looking forward to it, and you know,

22
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.560
in recovery, being vulnerable and allowing
yourself to experience things that you normally

23
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.640
want it is a good thing.
And he had texted me before he left,

24
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.319
He's like, you know, I'm
really looking forward to this, and

25
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:09.360
you know, I kind of stepping
outside of my comfort zone a little bit.

26
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.080
I don't know if he worded it
like that, but right you know,

27
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:14.960
I was proud that he was kind
of taking that approach to it,

28
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:15.800
because he could have done the other
thing and been like, man, this

29
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.039
is gonna suck. I'm afraid,
I'm scared, and then it would have

30
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.919
sucked in he would have been afraid. But the fact that he went and

31
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.599
he opened up and it was good
and it wasn't what a lot of people

32
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.159
were thinking it was going to be. You know, when you think recovery

33
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:31.439
storytelling, you think, oh,
okay, I'm gonna learn how to tell

34
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:39.000
my story. Right, It's more
about telling a story, not your life

35
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:45.800
story. And we have probably a
thousand stories in there, you know that

36
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.000
you can just focus on and really
tell that one. Well, sure,

37
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.159
and we're gonna have an event in
October, and I think this would be

38
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.280
a perfect thing for that. You
know, instead of having like just two

39
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.280
people get up there and tell their
story or whatever, to have like ten

40
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.240
people just one little story, you
know, for three to five minutes.

41
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.840
And I told you the other day
that I was gonna tell you my story

42
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:07.520
and you're like, oh, maybe
we should do it on the podcast,

43
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.680
And you want to do a podcast
yesterday and I was like, nahs,

44
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:16.400
I So I figured we would tell
it today at some point on this very

45
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:22.599
podcast. Son, go anywhere yet, keep listening. You can hear my

46
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.879
story. But I told it at
the thing, and I thought I did

47
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.960
all right. It's funny when you
break down one story over two days and

48
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.240
like retelling it. And Megan Perry
is the name of the woman who does

49
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.479
this, and I guess she has
groups online. I recommend taking it.

50
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:46.120
Try it. Out, but to
tell the story, to dissect the story,

51
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.680
to find the point of the story, Like what's the most meaningful to

52
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.840
you in all the crap that you
can leave out of the story that's not

53
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.280
important, you know, because you
and I both know, Honey, when

54
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.560
we go to meetings sometimes and it's
like a speaker meeting, you just look

55
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.280
around the room and like ninety percent
of the people are just off on lala

56
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.680
land. How someone can say,
Corey, this very disrespectful said that man.

57
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.879
Now, boys looked at Okay,
you're the ten percent, but the

58
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.680
rest man are like, okay,
I've heard this before, you know,

59
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.800
like if I were just dispelling like
oh, I was a bad alcoholico and

60
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.120
I used to drink like half gallons
and blah blah blah blah blah. You're

61
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.920
hunting right now, you know,
Like people, we get it, like

62
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.160
you're here for a reason. We
understand that, Like tell me some positive

63
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.240
stuff, you know, like give
me something good. How would you do

64
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.600
it? That's but I would want
to know, Like when I had three

65
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.959
months clean and I'd see someone talk, I'm like, Okay, I get

66
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.680
it. What's the trick, bro? You know? Like I thought there

67
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.040
was a trick to it. There's
a secret that I'm missing out on,

68
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.000
Like what is it? What's going
on? That's what I wanted to know.

69
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.879
So I think if more people took
this training and actually told their stories,

70
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.879
and you know, you could really
you could have the same people back

71
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.000
every week every month, there would
be a different story, you know,

72
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.759
because like I said, we have
thousands of them. Yeah, like we

73
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.839
could, like we'd do a theme, like I give the guys on the

74
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:14.319
blogs that we have two seventeen recovery
dot com. Yeah, they're forced to

75
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.759
do that. They're for at least
one of them. I'm going to give

76
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.920
them a theme and they have to, you know, abide by it,

77
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.360
and they have. They're starting to
have fun with it. I think,

78
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.160
maybe not, I don't know,
but I think it's opening their minds and

79
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.000
again letting them be vulnerable. I
think they're doing a great job with them.

80
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.680
I think so. Yeah, and
maybe some are. I mean,

81
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:41.680
anytime it's an assignment, there's a
little bit of resentment that comes along with

82
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.319
it because it's like not your idea
to have to do it. But at

83
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.800
the same time I think that it
it's it's a positive kind of pressure.

84
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.279
I don't want to say pressure.
That's don encouragement to step outside their comfort

85
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.759
zone and try something different. And
I think they're doing a great job of

86
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.439
it. Yeah, And when I
think when I tell them, hey,

87
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.240
good blog or a great blog,
or I usually tell them with how many

88
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.639
stars I rate them and then I
leave a little gift. But sometimes I'll

89
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.160
see, like Adam or Mitch and
black Man, that was a good blog,

90
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.199
you know, And I'm sure that
it feels good to them. You

91
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.199
know, they know Mitch puts his
heart and soul into it, and Adam

92
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.480
it takes a lot of time Tune
really kind of dissects it, and you

93
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.439
know it's really good. So you
know, the reward there's yeah, sure,

94
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.399
they'm like, I gotta do that
super blog, you know. But

95
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.319
I think it feels good when they
put a product out there that is good

96
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.519
and they're proud to show it to
their girlfriends or you know, their kids

97
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.639
or their moms or whoever. Yeah, so yeah, I think it's a

98
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.680
good thing. But I'll have to
get the other guys in the take the

99
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.319
training too. I think. Yeah, at some point, what's up at

100
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:56.720
you? Nothing? Just enjoying my
weekend. It's nice we had our first

101
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:01.160
family visitor. Well actually my mom
has seen the house, but family visit

102
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:08.519
where we've actually been able to show
our house like in decent shape, like

103
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.680
for the most part, it's put
together. And so that was that was

104
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.160
kind of a moment for me that
like it was a real feel good moment,

105
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.920
you know, like we we have
our we have our home, like

106
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:29.519
it's like play things are put away
out of boxes and you know, for

107
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.319
the most part, ninety eight percent
put away, I would say, and

108
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.639
it does. It feels like home. And I think that was just one

109
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.040
of it was just for me as
a reflection of like how far we've come,

110
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.959
and you know, I love Yourian
Barb and Uncle Rob and you know,

111
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:56.839
we had a great dinner with them
and had some laughs and yeah,

112
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:03.439
so did a little shopping. Yeah, frame for my diploma, Yeah,

113
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:11.480
which is awesome. So I put
that in my offices plural. Yeah,

114
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.920
that was pretty sweet. Yeah,
yeah, man, Barbe, Uncle Robert

115
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.319
Gray and they give us a card
and a little gift inside, and it

116
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.000
was just it was awesome. You
know. Now we have a welcome home

117
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.240
card on the new fridge, you
know, which which if we keep who

118
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.879
knows, But that's a whole another
story. I'll get to that after Ashley

119
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.559
Furniture, which is not going to
be on this podcast. Thank you You're

120
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.919
welcome, but no, And it's
cool, you know, to see that

121
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.399
welcome home, you know, it
was. It was a cool, cool

122
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.320
card, and it it's fun to
have that kind of stuff, you know,

123
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.720
and to have our first family that's
from out of town. I guess

124
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.440
you could say to stop buy and
see it. And of course my mom's

125
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.919
like should have been me, well, anyone's welcome. Yeah, come no,

126
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.399
Mom, I think you're dealing with
other stuff right now, Like,

127
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.279
yeah, you know, is what
it is. Maybe we'll see you before

128
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:13.720
Thanksgiving wink wink. I don't think
it's it's poiling too much there, but

129
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.279
I'm pretty sure I'm not. But
the the family time that we get to

130
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.480
spend with people now, and to
be available, to not be just a

131
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.000
drunk mess. We'd be dead,
first of all, if we were still

132
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.039
drinking, you and I would both
be dead. But to be still alive

133
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.440
and to be available for people when
they do come around or you know,

134
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.919
I don't know, it's just it's
just a it's a great feeling to be

135
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.960
present and to enjoy stories and laughs
with people and white bitch. That's sorry.

136
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.759
I had to say that because my
barb does listen to this podcast a

137
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.200
lot. And that story was funny. She was talking about she was in

138
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.879
Philadelphia and homeless people were just yell
out why bitch, and she was like,

139
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.639
the only were talking to me.
But then this other guy, I

140
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.279
was just like, bitch, and
She's like, what is going on with

141
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.480
this? Like the city just yells
bitch to people. Like so that's what

142
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.200
the white bitch came from. I
shouldn't have had her say it. I

143
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.120
should have had a record because that's
what it was funny. After she told

144
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.519
that story, Michael rob starts laughing
and he's like, yeah, that's what

145
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.559
they want on the podcast, like
that right. I was like, yeah,

146
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:24.399
it is for sure, but yeah
it's it's nice. Yeah it really

147
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:31.960
is. So did you want to
talk about anything else? You want to

148
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.000
get me get into the story.
I've been I'm on I'm on pins and

149
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.000
needles here, Okay, I have
to take a drink of my Power Aid,

150
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.000
my blue Power Aid. I can't
read the name of it right now.

151
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.759
It's like very mixed, very power
Aid zero. This podcast is brought

152
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.080
to you by them until they pay
me to stop saying their name. Pay

153
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.399
you to stop saying it, like
when you want to be associated with that

154
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:07.159
m power aid zero. Good.
Okay. So the story is supposed to

155
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.360
be between three and five minutes.
Okay, Okay, do you want me

156
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.399
to time it? I mean,
you can't at me want, but I

157
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:20.840
don't think you have to. Okay, I won't so nervous now in front

158
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.279
of everybody telling this story. Everybody, nobody, okay, everybody, but

159
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.120
nobody right now at this very second
timing it. I'm going to just an

160
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.039
idea. The fall of twenty eighteen. The first snow was on November thirty.

161
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.159
I'm outside my apartment complex with my
pajama pants on and a T shirt,

162
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.639
and I'm looking at this cop.
He has this confused look on his

163
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.759
face, and then I tell him, well, you can't arrest me.

164
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.600
You can't take me to jail.
Five days later, when I'm released from

165
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.799
jail, I go back to my
bachelor pad. I walk in and on

166
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:11.120
the counter is an unopened half gallon
of alcohol. Let me start to drink.

167
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.399
And when I start to drink,
it doesn't take me long. But

168
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.440
I see the Brady Bunch in my
living room, and I remember from multiple

169
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.919
times going to the er for withdrawals. They always asked me, have you

170
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:31.080
ever hallucinated? And my smart asked
response to them as always, how would

171
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.840
I know? And they would tell
me you would know if you're hallucinating.

172
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.639
So I see the Brady Bunch and
I know I'm hallucinating. I know they're

173
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.440
not there, and I remember thinking, wow, that's kind of crazy.

174
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.799
I have the Brady Bunch in my
apartment. And that's the last thing I

175
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:56.080
remember until my phone was buzzing because
my mom had texted me. As I

176
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.159
read the message, just says Corey, when are you going to pay your

177
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:05.000
rent? And I replied, I'm
going to pay it on Monday. The

178
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:11.759
next thing she wrote was honey,
it's Wednesday. And when she said that,

179
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.399
I could feel the sick in my
body. I could feel the alcohol

180
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.799
in my body, and I rolled
over. I looked at my door to

181
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:26.120
my bedroom and I could see the
door handle was through the dry wall,

182
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.519
like I had stumbled into it or
something. I looked down on the floor

183
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.120
as I get out of bed,
I see about six or seven empty half

184
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.399
gallons and I'm stumbling my way through
the hallway, I get to the kitchen.

185
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:45.399
I see this blue mixing bowl and
in it is an open package of

186
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.960
cream cheese and I had put cocoa
mix on top of it, and the

187
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.000
hand mixer was out next to it. I don't know what I was trying

188
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.039
to make, but I was glad
that I didn't turn on the oven.

189
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.919
That's the moment I realized that I
had just lost four days and don't remember

190
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:15.799
anything. And then I had blacked
out and maybe I did drive, maybe

191
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:24.200
I did almost kill somebody. So
I decided then that I was gonna just

192
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.120
do what the court wanted. Before
I was thinking about fighting charges and stuff

193
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:35.360
like that. So I get sentenced
your probation and they said I had to

194
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.080
do whatever the drug support place wanted
me to do. River Wood and bent

195
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:45.399
Harbor suggested I go ninety days to
a year, and I found a place

196
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:46.559
I had ninety days and thought that
would be great, because you know,

197
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.679
I had stuff to do. I
didn't want to go a year. Before

198
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.240
I left, a covery coach grabbed
me and pulled me in his office and

199
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.120
said, Corey, what's it gonna
take? And I started to dispute the

200
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.200
normal well once I get married and
half kids, and he stopped me,

201
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.519
which looking back now, I just
would have been a drunk father, drunk

202
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.840
husband. But he told me to
shut up. He said, shut up,

203
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.159
Corey, I don't want you to
tell that to me. You need

204
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.519
to tell that to yourself. And
you have a long bus ride to northern

205
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.159
Michigan, so think about that.
You know, what do you put about

206
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:26.799
alcohol? And I'm on the bus
just struggling thinking about it. I'm like,

207
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.279
what do I do? You know, what do I do? What

208
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.000
do I do? You know?
I told my mom I'm never drinking again,

209
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.320
my sister or family, it doesn't
matter. I've doesn't matter. And

210
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.320
I get to treatment and I'm trying
to learn about myself and I'm laying in

211
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.879
bed still thinking about this, like
what what do I put about of alcohol?

212
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.639
And I'm laying in bed and it
hits me. When I was on

213
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.000
the radio back in my radio queer, my early twenties, I had heard

214
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.600
a commercial that I had done and
I was so drunk in that commercial,

215
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.799
almost so embarrassed. I drove back
to the station as quick as I could,

216
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.720
and I redid it, knowing that
tens and thousands of people have heard

217
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.320
that commercial already I don't know how
many times, and just that fear of

218
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:17.759
losing my job in the embarrassment of
being that drunk. So I swore to

219
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:21.639
myself I would never drink on the
air again. So that's one thing I

220
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.600
put above alcohol. And people have
been telling me Corey, you need to

221
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.960
start a podcast, but I was
clueless on what to do. And I

222
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.440
started thinking that I need to do
it on my recovery, which is also

223
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.039
very scary because I was hiding it. I thought, you know, I

224
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.360
was hiding my addiction to alcohol.
But I did. I started the podcast,

225
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.960
and I had no idea it was
going to be so freeing. It

226
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.120
was just like kicking the doors off
of it, you know, like coming

227
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.840
out saying, boom, I'm in
recovery. You know, you can judge

228
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.399
me for my past, but I
don't live there anymore and I'm moving forward.

229
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.400
And then I realized too that by
doing this podcast and by talking about

230
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:08.680
being in recovery and how life is
getting better but not every day is the

231
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:15.279
greatest. But that's a great way
for me to move forward and help other

232
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:23.359
people at the same time. That's
great. Yeah, it was really good.

233
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.440
I don't know, it wasn't I
think I told six minutes. Yeah,

234
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.519
I told it better the other day
I did it, and I think

235
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.839
three and a half. But that's
crazy because you start to remember a little

236
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.519
bit more and you tell a little
bit more. Well, I think if

237
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:44.359
it sounds so scripted that that you
lose people because and then you'll you trip

238
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.640
over yourself trying to remember the exact
way you wrote it, and that can

239
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.400
screw things up to Yeah, you
know, but there was some stuff I

240
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.759
could have took out. But yeah, I mean that's the kind of thing

241
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.279
we did though your story and to
you, those little details I think make

242
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:07.200
it unique and important and they're awesome
my wife, So I mean, but

243
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.319
but you get the point of that, you know what I'm saying. I'm

244
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:12.799
just saying, if somebody else would
have told their story and it was six

245
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.039
minutes instead of five, I could
have left some other stuff out. What's

246
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.960
I mean? The stories are are
great when they're I mean, you kept

247
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.039
my attention the whole time. I
mean, I've heard it many many times,

248
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:32.319
but like this is the most organized
you've ever told it. Yeah,

249
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.720
So thank you. What was her
name, Megan Perry? Thank you and

250
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.279
Perry. Thank you, Megan Perry. We've been waiting for you for years

251
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.759
now. No, they were like, oh, you did a good job,

252
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.960
but they told everybody that, you
know. I'm just like, okay,

253
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.160
but m yeah, I think I
was more on point. But I

254
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.279
mean I had just told it,
like, you know, a hundred times,

255
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.599
and then we had to like do
it with the three minutes and then

256
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:00.839
two minuts and then one minute,
you know, and then you had to

257
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.000
like it was it was very It
was very crazy and cool how you like

258
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:11.359
really dissect the story, you know, and make it on point. And

259
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.519
you know, if we had ten
people telling even six minute stories, you

260
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.480
know, that's that's a good hour
to phil and I would rather see that

261
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:26.960
than one guy just up there just
talking sometimes. Oh am you telling the

262
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:34.240
story? Oh? I just got
up too early? Okay, all right,

263
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.680
Well I guess we'll just in the
podcast with a story. Then.

264
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.640
Do you want to tell one?
No? I don't. Oh we should

265
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.799
work on I didn't go to I
didn't go to a training. Oh you

266
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:48.960

267
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:55.079
check it out. I might.
Yeah. Well, thanks for listening.

268
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.640
I guess we'll get off it We're
gonna do a fantasy football podcast one day

269
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.319
podcast. I mean like during fantasy
football, like during the games or what

270
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.279
no, like before them. But
see, we're still in intrie at least

271
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.680
I am. I'm like watching stuff, trying to do other stuff that I

272
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.359
think it'd be too busy to try
to do a podcasts. So, like

273
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:22.000
my number one pick is out for
the season, yeah Chubb. Yeah,

274
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.279
So it just goes to show you
all that like planning and figuring out you

275
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:36.720
do sometimes it doesn't mean nothing.
Yeah, it's not funny though, And

276
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.920
then I kind of felt bad because
of what I did to you because then

277
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.200
Nick Chubb being out, I was
like, I'm gonna get his back up.

278
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.200
I'm gonna spend all my fab money
on it. You're like what,

279
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.640
because then you realize you had to
spend all your fab money. Yeah,

280
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.880
so I kind of bullied you into
spending all your family. But if you

281
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:03.000
didn't spend all your familiy, I
was gonna spend all mine. I needed

282
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:03.960
him because I haven't played you yet, and I was like, yeah,

283
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.680
I'd rather play you without a running
back. I mean, that's just that's

284
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:14.079
how cutthroat it is. Man.
Jeez, you do you take it seriously?

285
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.880
Yeah, you know, and that's
correct me because people are grabbing cream

286
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.200
hunt. If you know football,
you know what I'm talking about. Man,

287
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.079
Like the dude there's a reason why
he wasn't on a team, and

288
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.559
he's like I was waiting for the
right moment. No, you signed with

289
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.839
the same team that cut you,
dude, Like, come on, bro.

290
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.000
Yeah, So I think the Ford
guys the way to go with that.

291
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.720
So that's my fantasy advice. There
you go, there's my fantasy football

292
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.759
podcast advice. Yeah, go with
Ford. Run him this week. I

293
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.400
don't care if he's I think he's
playing against Tennessee, which a normal fantasy

294
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.920
football show would know this, but
we're not playing it. It's not like

295
00:21:52.960 --> 00:22:03.160
my story. Yeah so yeah that
and then start golf against Atlanta. Start

296
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.880
Kyle Pitts. Tyrone this is the
week because I think Tyrone benched them,

297
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.480
but this this is the week for
Kyle Pitts, trust me. Yeah.

298
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.319
Yeah, that's a little tips.

299
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.640
from me. Maybe I'll just do
three three tips, just just the three

300
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.039
tips. Got it? Yeah,
thanks for listening to seventeen recovery dot Com.

301
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.359
We have tickets to see the Ancient
Aliens show, which I don't know

302
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.640
if this is a new It says
it's twenty twenty two, but there's like

303
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.000
a new segment or new season or
something. I guess it's not new,

304
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:44.119
but something that we stumbled upon and
Hulu, I think. But anyway,

305
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:51.279
ancient astronaut theorist theorists they call themselves
something like that. That's what they call

306
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:57.039
themselves in the Ancient Alien or Alien. But it's really cool, and I

307
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:00.279
gotta start looking up some of the
stuff they're saying, because I've read reviews

308
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.240
and people are like, oh,
no, man, they're just making that

309
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.200
shit up. But there's some documents
that they've shown where the government's like,

310
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.880
yep, we got bodies, we've
got aircraft that we have picked up and

311
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.640
taken and it's not from this earth. And I gotta start looking for those

312
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.359
documents and like start actually searching for
them because some people are like, Oh,

313
