This is the two seventeen Recovery podcast with Corey Winfield. Yeah, it's hard
right now, It's tough. It sucks. You want to call a hole
and die. But this could be the best thing that's ever happened to you.
Justin Burke, Then we actually take better care of her than our plants.
Are you're talking about Susan. You're back on that. Yeah, And
Mitchell Oldbrian I watered all of the plants, all of them. Yes,
he did. It is the ninth of January twenty twenty four. My name
is Cory Winfield, and that This is the two seventeen Recovery podcast. Justin
Burke in the house, what's up? And Mitchell O'Brien the plant master,
the plant master, the master planter, the master planter. Justin has had
more experience with the plants recently. Is that when he goes to his desk
and bust one out. No, I mean you did, Oh yeah,
you gotta. You bought your plant a pot, yeah, a new pot.
Yeah. It's like a plastic trash can. Yeah, miniature trash can.
Yeah, in that same I don't believe. So how many years art
did you take in college? It makes me the expert here. Okay,
it's Teal. So Amazon's called it was Teal. Okay, let's not plug
Amazon. Oh yeah, easy, not a sponsor. I love Amazon,
and I'm going to say that right now. Amazon makes life easy. Yes
it does. So today is a huge day. Mitch got here early and
it was just beautiful. So congratulations Mitch. Isn't he always here early?
Yeah? Not always. There's that week that my kid was out of town,
came in normal time. Is that what you're saying, I have to
get all up in it. Yeah, that's what was going on. No,
justin the big day. Is you buddy? You got your four years
clean today? Yep? Sure do. Man. That's awesome dude. All
right, yeah, so I'm talking about so, yeah, how's that feel?
Four years ago today you were going into jail and today you're sitting in
across from me doing a podcast. It feels fabulous. What would Tyrone say?
God damn, oh yes he would. It's crazy how that four years
goes Mitch. I think it pointed out earlier that I have four years,
you have four years. You have five years. Oh that's right, I
have five years. Marnie has four years, you have four years. Mitch
has three years and Adams two yep, two, so we need somebody with
one year. It's like a staircase add to the team, and we'll always
just keep tearing it, you know, or maybe someone who's had six years.
No, nobody can never have more than me. Justin' stop it,
yeah nah it. But it's kind of cool though, because we're all at
kind of different points of of our recovery and like you can tell Mitch,
yeah, you got three years, but just just keep hanging in there,
buddy, you get to four one day like me. For me, it's
kind of cool because you and I met world. I met both of you
guys shortly after hitting two years. No here I am at three, so
little milestones. It seems like the first year though, was the toughest,
maybe because every month you're getting a coin, you're getting some kind of key
tag, or there's something going on every month to where it's just like okay,
okay, okay. But then once you get like the year is for
me, it just kind of went pretty quick and then oh boom, all
right, I got my two years and that's like the just just flew by.
Well. I think a lot of it's because you actually learned how to
live life and enjoy life getting through all that horrible stuff you did, Like
you're starting to learn how to deal with it and be able to move on
with it. Would you say that you started learning to living life and recovery.
Yeah, like your meeting that you have on Mondays and Thursdays that passed
down to me by my mentor take some ownership though, that's good stuff.
That's pain. It was easier just to look them all. I have no
idea what you're talking about, justin that envelopes for Christmas cards, because it
didn't sound like they said that. But that's that's fine because it was taken
out of context. I would never do that to your voice. Yeah you
no, I would not. So on your way to four years, though,
what was what would you say would be the toughest challenge? I mean,
I guess I can you can say anyway four years, but really it's
just on your journey, because Mitch, I have a I can mute you.
See I muted you. What's the hand signal? Yep? There you
go. Do the the fully lan arms guy car dealerships use right. We
still have to get that video out there. Yeah, but before we get
back to your four years and starting time about recovery. We finished the video
for Recovery Stories Message of Hope Part one, so it's all together and kind
of like a little two seventeen recovery special. Nice. Yeah, let's think
about like sending it to different rehabs or something. That'd be awesome. They
can show to their people's mhm, that'd be pretty cool. You used to
do that. How would you send it to him? Sure? When in
patask you would enjoy it overall? Yeah, yeah, they seem to be
huge fans. We sent him on a USB drive or I can put it
in some kind of file and have them just download it. It'd be easy
to once we get it premiered. We have it on the Facebook not Facebook
YouTube and send links. Yeah, but YouTube will break down the quality though.
You can only upload certain quality to YouTube. YouTube. You only upload
two hour podcasts too. I don't understand how you can do a two hour
podcasts me either. They talked for forty five minutes about geese to your brother,
forty five minutes about geese who likes their brother that much? After ten
minutes, it's awkward and it's like, all right, man, Well,
I'll talk to you later. We spent the majority of our lives hating each
other, so this is new for us. We're just kind of meeting each
other for the first time. And if you're gonna do a two hour podcasts,
but I'm should you give him a microphone or something working on it.
He's just on his little phone, not even a cell phone. It's like
one of them corded phones. I'm working on with Pure Carver salary here.
Not even a cordus phone. It's like one of them old ones, them
rotary phones. Mitch, your brother lives down there in Squalor and one of
the Carolina's right out in the woods somewhere. Jesus, justin, I have
a mute button. You're supposed to do this? Oh my god, you
guys are horrible at this. Hold on all right, cut you off mid
laugh there, let me go. Oh I think where are you? All
over? Mitch? I think you should back up a little bit. Corey
see, just has an allergy to what has been described as the Good D.
And whenever he's close to the good dright sneeze. So I have a
theory too, What is that so good that it makes our computers not work
well when you're around. Mine was working fine all morning and then all of
a sudden you're standing there and I try to load that one page and it
won't anymore. That's weird forever. Maybe it's because of all the viruses you
get on your computer that's pain. It was easier just to look them all
well. Or maybe because this mins went around look at them all. I
don't know, all right, don't get viruses. It don't even licked my
viruses. Virus is only one time. Oh, I swear it's whole officehead
viruses recently multiple times. Yeah, Cold Blue is the season. I don't
even know. I don't even know where to go. So anyway, the
movie that we made is done, and I don't noticed like one little mess
up that I want to change. But I don't any think I'm going to
change it because it's not a major one. But I think it looks all
right. You didn't get to watch all of it, No, I've missed
the last segment. Yeah, but once we premiere it, I mean,
maybe you two, but I don't know why not. Huh. Yeah,
I mean I feel like it'll be accessible to a bunch of people. You
think it's good enough to put on, Like was that for you? One
time I watches v Bro or something, Well, you turned down the Netflix
special offer, Yeah, because they wanted like eight of them. I'm like,
there's a lot a commitment. And they say, you know, especially
in recovery, you got to say nope sometimes, and Mitch, you'll learning
to say no. So this was a perfect opportunity for me to show you
how to say no. So you said noship lots of money from Netflix.
It wasn't that much money is on like eighteen million or something if it was
the last, but it was eight movies, man, and I want to
make a movie about making a movie. I got time to be doing these
specials, these recovery specials, these glorified ted talks. But that v Bro
though, what it's like yellow and purple like the square on the app logo
or whatever, not the app, but it has the app logo. It's
a yellow and it's got a V and then some ease, and I thought
of Bro, I said, too far from my television, man at home,
I don't know my glasses on. Is that a like a streaming service?
Yeah? One Troe watches, He's like, it's good, Okay,
that comes together. Yeah, he refuses to pay for anything. He loves
commercials then he does. He takes a little naps during them. But it's
funny what we spend our money on and what we wouldn't spend our money on.
Like Tyrone, he tells the story and I hope to get up on
recovery story message Part two really does because he tells the story about walking through
like snow and miles to go get this little piece of crack and he told
the crack dealer, yeah, I got five dollars. So the crack dealer
is waiting for him and he walks there and he's like, man, I
only had two dollars and some change, and I was just hoping he just
put in his hand and you know, just get it. But the guy
looked at it and just knocked it out of his hand and then drove off.
Said some few words or something, maybe an N word in there.
I don't know, but Tyrone said that just reaching down to try to pick
up his change in the snow, Like that moment, he was like,
it's gotta stop, like I have to do something different, and he was
so mad and just humiliated I think too, just having to pick up the
change and actually needing that change, you know, like, yeah, but
don't buy no Amazon, don't buy Amazon Prime. You won't buy Netflix or
any kind of even Peacock, which isn't bad. You have peacock on you
just you have peacock anymore I have there's a couple of them, like Paramount
Peacock. I'll pay for them until I watch what I want to watch and
then I cancel it. I have Max, Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus,
Amazon Prime. That's it. Yeah, so those are some good ones.
Determine as v BRO. I don't even know how do you spell it.
I tried looking it up ve e and then like b r O or
something bro. I swear something like that. Is it two words or one
word one? Not even like sling or two b m m. Yeah.
Some things kind of a wasted money. So they got commercials all up in
there have commercials now, well depends what you're watching, but even Netflix offers
ads. Now, Netflix is I got this thing. I turned it on
the other day. It's like, do you want your friends or family to
be able to watch your Netflix account for this much more a month? We'll
give you more signings. Just give out the ones like that I already have,
like everybody else already does. And that's the it's because Netflix monitors your
IP address now, so you can't do that because it recognizes your home IP
address. So if you go somewhere else sign into a different I on a
different network, they asked you if you are traveling now hm hm, and
they send you and then they email you a code so that way your one
at home will be disabled and won't work. Those nosy bitches. Yeah,
well, there's nothing that's that great on Netflix where somebody's gonna be watching something
in one room and somebody else gonna be watching it anywhere else in the world.
Netflix sucks. That's that's a horrible selection. I mean the Outer Milk
or whatever. That was funny, but like, seriously, there's so much
crap on Netflix. Like I remember Netflix, and I was thinking, like
I should call them to have this debate with them, because why am I
gonna pay And this was back when it was nine or nine or nine a
month? Why am I gonna pay that to watch some old movies I've elready
seen, Like it doesn't make sense, like come up with some new stuff.
And then so they started doing like this comedy series with Chappelle. I
think Pete Davidson's dropping this week. But it's irritating because they keep me just
hanging out with Chris Rock. He can't I have to see it, right,
I as well keep it. And I don't know why I'm keeping AMC
because Walking Dead I was a big fan of that, and then they have
like a bunch of little spinoffs. But it and shit going on right now?
Is that me getting charged like thirteen fourteen bucks a month for some dumb
shit. I should cancel that. But that's the thing, because like there's
eighteen things I said I'm gonna do that to do. I've done one of
them, you know, Like I say, I took a good game.
I say I'm gonna do some shit, but then I I forget. Did
you write them down? No, that's why you forgot. That's true.
I was trying to teach you guys a lesson. It's been working and it's
seriously, you write stuff down that you're gonna do, and it it's amazing.
Yeah, like you will like your day will be more productive, like
you'll actually want to get these things done quick books not in the mood.
My problem was I would have anxiety about not getting them all done. But
then you're like, he's write it on tomorrow's list. You can do that.
Yeah, Like it was it was like my you should just saying I
would have loved I would have paid I would pay money to see my face
when this doctor told me this. It was a psychiatrist at Pine Rest,
and he was like going over stuff with me, and he's like, why
do you keep drinking? You know? And he was the older guy,
he was probably like the mid sixties, late sixties, and I was like,
I don't know because I have this this and I just I'm losing my
mind. He's like, oh, you don't need medicine or anything. You
just you need noepad. I was like what. He's like, you make
a list of stuff and then do them and then when you're done, across
them off there you go. And it didn't didn't cure me, but it
did help, you know. When I started making lists, and it helped
me stay organized and not so scatter brained all over the place, not trying
to do ten things at once to right and then not completing any of them
right. That's why I'm fighting with myself right now, because I'll be doing
one thing and I'll be like, oh, this is another list too,
and start it and'll be like oh no, and I have to like one
thing at a time. Yeah, that's pain. It is easier just to
look them all the same time. No, individually, one at a time.
I get it now. Yeah, it's so confused. So Adam's not
here to defend himself, Nope. But I want to play something. Okay,
Okay, first I have to set it up though, because the other
day we're doing a podcast Justin and me, Adam, yep, and you
said something that I didn't catch at the moment. It's kind of like those
ghost Hunter shows that they're like, oh, I didn't even realize what was
going on. And then I listened to it and I was like, oh
my god, that was That was a funny line by Justin. But there
was something that Adam did and it just left me speechless when I was listening
back to it. And I feel bad for Adam, and we're going to
give him a chance to come on here to clear his name if he if
he feels he needs to. But here is probably one of the best drops
ever ever recorded. Okay, dude, that my son was god like they're
like, he she shouldn't have had like it. I don't know how,
you know what I mean, Like, but you know what I mean,
No, are you? Are you okay? Do you need to go to
the hospital. And his defense, we were talking about his lucky strike with
getting the mother of his children pregnant and the first one he met, and
it just happened, you know, the the first time, so that's why
he met, Like, my son it was God. He's not saying his
son is God. He's just saying, like that was the act of God,
that that happened. Let's let's listen to it again, dude, that
my son was God. Like, They're like, she shouldn't have happened like
it. I don't know how, you know what I mean, like,
but I mean, it's great, it really is. And that was so
excited when I heard that. I'm like, match, get in here.
When I was like, dude, you want to free drop better with the
rest of it. What you say at the end, I can't remember what
it was. And he's like, oh, usually that happens by intercourse.
It's just like, oh my god. And I'm like, how did I
miss all that? How did I miss it all? Like like, you
know what I'm saying. I mean, he does that pretty regularly. That
was just a good one. We're not making fun of you, Adam.
Well, I me who we are. But it's no hard feeling your own
good. We're laughing. We're have fun of recovery here, Adam. We're
laughing with you. Yes, no, he was talking. He came into
work today. I'm fire from all some aliens or something. Yeah, Miami
with that, I don't know. Did you see there's a video of it
or something. There's some videos out there. I haven't watched a lot of
them. I saw some pictures of the supposed aliens and the report was multi
pull ten foot large, ten foot large, ten foot tall beings. It's
a small in Miami. And there were like one hundred police officers or I
don't even know that, but like a bunch of police officers and all their
sirens going, and people were reporting multiple different people like from different parts of
them all and everything. They're all reporting the same thing, seeing these things,
and they're like waving in and out of being seen, like kind of
visible and then not and then visible and then not. And so if I
had a projector and I had a ten foot tall Justin Burke with a un
shot it over there by the mall. The police would show up because people
would say, it's aliens. If you could figure out how to do it
free standing and not on a wall, yeah, okay, because they do.
Yeah, thank you, Justin. But I'm listening to you now.
As far as I know, those aren't possible outside. I've heard of some
that saw The first one I saw was like Coachella with Tupac. Yeah.
I was about to say, they've done concerts that were hologram concerts, the
Beatles, the Bay else Yeah, and Michael Jackson's anyone don't know Elvis,
because I've heard about some deep state like military stuff where they can shoot free
student. My son was gotten. Like they're like, maybe we should ask
you your son shouldn't have happened like it. I don't know how you know
what I mean? Like, but aliens at the mall, you know?
Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems like a really bad hoax. Got
your ass because yeah, holo, like, yeah, you can do that
outside. Well, I feel like the government is trying to primise for a
fake abduction. Got your ass two times because you can't ride yea like a
fake rapture something like that, but they're gonna paint it on the aliens.
Yeah, we all got your ass. So and what if I was the
president of the United States, That'd be awesome to be screwed. I'll be
turning down Everybody'll be like, we need your money, we need your money.
I'm like, yeah, okay, got both your asses. I just
say, what do you say myself? I'll just be hitting drops. I'd
have justin because you have to be in office with me, Like just what
you hit? Dropped to boom? Got your ass? Thanks, justin,
No problem. We got this bill here. We want to pass assault rifles.
Got you as No, you have to be like, yeah, we
can do that. They're like really, and You're like, no, that
would be fun, so fun. I should start with governor, though.
I really think I'd make a great governor. Yeah. I mean, I'm
at the age now where I'm mature. My brain had been stuck at like
sixteen for years, well like eighteen. Well, according to your wife,
I can't be around you for you to be mature, because you go off
the rails when we're together. For some reason I don't understand. I heard
her talking to this talking, that noise, talking that jive. I don't
know what she was talking about because itn't make any sense to me. It
didn't make any sense to me. I was like, is Adam here,
Like, what's going on? She's speaking English man, it seems very weird.
I was like, I don't know what she's talking about. She loves
talking shit, that's what she does. So before or after the Valentine's State
carts? Oh yeah, yeah? Because yeah, Look, I think we
even talked about on the podcast. I'm sure because we're economical like that.
I saw coming forward nice microphones and stuff and camera lenses, Like seriously,
I can have this close up macro lenz kit goes to one to four,
okay, Or I could buy a card that says I love you honey.
Well, some appreciate the cards. And you found a rare gem that likes
to be spontaneous like in store card giving. Yep, that's that way.
You can put it back on the shelf and I have to pay for it
if you really want to be sneaky, which I think this is what we
actually did. We got up to the checkout and I was like, holy
shit, this is eight dollars card. Or whatever. Seven other card looked
at her. I'm just seven other card. I was like, how about
I just give you here and then we just give it to the cashier and
she can put back. Yeah, that's what I did. I didn't even
put back myself. Here's the story. You need to do that. We
talked about that recently in a group, where like, just if you got
stuff, don't just set it on some random shelf because then other people are
gonna think it's on sale or something, you know, and then just give
it back to the That's you're just practicing what you preach in the meetings.
But we save some some dollar bills, y'all. I feel sorry for Parker.
Let's go to the store, little Parker, and you want to go
to Disneyland. Let's watch people on YouTube go to Disneyland. Here's your birthday
card, but you can't have because we gotta put it back. Yeah,
cards are stupid, but he's gonna make it a game. We like,
actually this card, Parker. And then on the other side of the stort,
now we got to find out where it goes. Can we just give
it to the lady, Yes we can, smart boy, take after your
daddy. Mommy just puts it back anywhere. I know, I'm that person.
It's hard sometimes anyway, I got to run. But you guys,
it was fun coming in here. It's really not a podcast about anything today
except Justin's four years congratulations. That's a big thing. And we did have
some laughs. So mission accomplished. Let's see so later. Bye. Thanks
