It's the two seventeenth Recovery Podcast with Corey Winfield. I think that's pretty fair
for a guy once a quarter, four times a year, trim and toenails.
If it needs to be done, it needs to be done. I'll
think you that you can go by the calendar year. You probably wish I
would because I probably maybe really do it like twice a year. And Cole
holds Marnie Winfield the people that really are drawn to twelve step program. One
piece of those twelve step groups is because it's people from all different varieties in
lengths of time of sobriety. It is the seventeenth of December twenty twenty three.
My name's Corey Winfield, my name is Marnie Winfield, and this is
the two seventeen Recovery podcast. And I think i'm because I know it's getting
close to th end of the year and I could write it out with the
toenails. But I think we did that in like March or something. Didn't
we did you cut them? No that I did that? Oh yeah,
maybe it was January. I'm not sure. I don't know a rule.
Well, once a quarner, yeah, like but they kind of need it.
I was looking at one of them today and I was like, I
probably could clip that one. But then it brings me back to that,
well, how many times have I done it already this year? And I'm
thinking I've done it three times already. Yeah, it's I can see him
from here. So they're daggers. Well, no, they're not daggers,
but they could use a clipping. They're like a quarter of an inch long
past your actual toe. No, there's they're supposed to be like that.
They're not. They're French tip. That's gross. It's not gross. It's
so gross. Huh. Well that's a different opinion, okay, because I
look at your toenails they look like mine, and I'm like, oh,
they're pretty Yeah, just saying I just wanted to clear that up for everybody,
because I know people were wondering, like, has Corey clipped his toenails
for the fourth time? Acquiring minds want to know, I know, stay
tuned to let you know when the clipping happens. Something tells me it's going
to be this week. Yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be okay,
yeah, but let me make it, Like I make the decisions though
for it you shouldn't. You shouldn't have drawn attention to them. I probably
would have let it go. Well, it's the open. I had to
answer back, I know, I had to answer back. So and like
I said, so many people were wondering. Yeah, so Friday, I
got my five years. I know, I got you a beautiful coin.
Yes you did, and I left it at work because' where I'm going to
keep it? Nice I have? Well, I had mother coins here in
the home office. I just looked down to where they used to be and
they're not here. So either I didn't get them out, or the cats
decided they were going to move them around. I don't know. I don't
know, but they replaced it with a Christmas ornament from the tree that isn't
upstairs living or Yeah. That was very nice of them, So maybe it
was trade off. I really don't know. That's weird because they were right
there. I'm looking like down at the base of my HP computer. You
have like the base and that's where I have my other drive like external drive
plugged in where I keep all the podcasts, and I have some those little
USB drive things, and you sued to have the coins right there. My
guess is you probably when you did the move, you probably put them someplace
important. But that is important. That's where I cut them, I know.
But when you move the computer, when you moved everything over here,
honey, we've moved. It was like six months ago. I know.
Have you seen them since then? I thought, yeah, like I would.
I looked right where they should be. I was talking about them.
I'm like, I have my three in my two, but they're gone.
Maybe it was a Opa loopa lately because they sneaky. We'll talk about that
and we'll rate to the Walk a movie in just a minute. But yeah,
getting the five years was pretty cool back in the day. I just
pay attention to a lot of stats and they say, if you get to
five years, there's whatever amount x percent that you're gonna make it the rest
of your life. Which, okay, that's cool, that's what they say.
I don't really do stats really much anymore. And I know I've met
people that said that they've had eight years and ten years and twenty years,
and I met them in treatment. So like, I still have to,
you know, be careful, but I think I'm on pretty good trajectory to
get six years, you know, but keep badding them days up and it'll
happen. Yeah, you know, I still have a lot of goals.
I still have a lot of things I'm working towards, and I can't do
that if I'm drinking, if I'm drunk, So I got no time for
that. I think stats are interesting, but with something like sobriety, it's
kind of goes back to like, you can't base your involvement or your adherence
to staying sober on something outside of yourself. It's got to just it's still
always about you, not about what other people did now to other people did
before you or we'll do after you. It's about what you do with your
time and the and the importance of staying sober because there's no guarantees. No.
And I had a real close call twenty twenty three. Can you remember
that on your birthday at the Sakki moomb place? Oh yeah, okay,
I got you the not the soaky mom place, the rest of these steakhouse.
Yeah, and the guy who's gonna try to squirt some shit in my
mouth, And I was like nope, yeah, but I don't think I
mean as soon as you would have I don't think that would have because if
it would have been me, I would have been like, I would have
split that crap out like across the room. I don't care in its fade,
doesn't matter, that wouldn't have gotten in my way. But I mean
it would have been a kind of a funny. Really, I've been so
pissed. Yeah, I would have been pissed too. Well, that's see,
that's not something you would do anyway. I don't care if it was.
No, you don't let people shoot stuff in your mouth like that,
and that is just a warning. And hopefully I prevented somebody else from falling
through that same same trap or that same mistake. And that bottle has been
on that cart being wheeled around for I probably would have puked with like with
like you know, hibachi juice all over it. So I don't care what
was in it. I wouldn't have wanted it to be thinking of what makes
me want to puke. And I bet you I would have puked. I
want to just spit it out. It have been you would have had you
would have had to be a part of it, you know. Yeah,
But I don't let people shoot stuff in my mouth like that or squirt stuff
in my mouth shoot or squirt. Here you go not doing it. I've
never seen a woman about you grow person. I've not either. It's a
cultural thing maybe, hm, okay, just throwing that out there. Yeah,
it's good. I'm making judgments. I'm just saying that's really good.
That's really I mean, that's you noticed it. That's good observation. Never
had a white guy do it either. I've had a male nail tech.
WHOA, Now that's racist. Why I don't know that sounded like it was.
I was racist because I'm talking about a style of like cuisine I'm talking
about where I'm just talking about in general something I mean like there's also like
male hair artists, like they do last ones, things that are primarily done
by one gender. Okay, I got nothing. I don't know. Let's
say I just wish I probab move on. Okay, So yeah, the
five years though, I was pretty cool, though, very cool, and
I was reading like a post because my mom shared it, I think from
like my three years and I sent her a message before I read that.
I pretty much said the same thing, like I can't believe where I'm at
today, and thanks for not giving up on me, and I love you,
and and then I saw that I was on Facebook or something, and
I was like, oh, so I just say the same shit every year,
like every couple of years, you know. But I'm still like amazed.
But that's crazy, though, and I'm still amazed by I still wouldn't
believe where I'm at. If you were like at my three year marketing,
if you just said this is where you're going to be in two more years,
I said, you're nuts. You know. I bought a house again.
Marty and I have been married for three years and we have a child
on the way, a baby boy. Like what stop? I would have
just stop, that's just that's too much good stuff, you know, and
you employee people and recovery what ow? That's that's crazy. One day,
yeah, I'd have been like, is my movie done yet? I got
my book out. Justin was telling me the other day, He's like,
you should write a book. Like I'm finnam. It's on my list of
things to do. And but you know me, I want to do what's
fun, and to me, a movie would seem more fun. I know.
Normally I think the book should be written, then the movie can kind
of follow the book. There you go, right, that's probably what will
happen. But but your movie ideas are kind of all over the place.
Yeah they are. They're not just about you and your journey. No,
no, no, And I think it would be it'd be interesting story.
You know, in the perfect world, I think you would have a movie
called Corey. Who would play you in your movie? Brad Pitt? What?
Oh other you're going to see? Nicholas Cage. Oh yeah, well
he'd be cheap, he'd say, yes, Yeah, he'd do it.
He would do it. He's trying to break the world record for most movies
ever made. No, he got the whole acting drunk thing down. Yeah,
we know that. Probably Willy Wonk a guy. Why not. No,
I don't know who would play me. But if we have one movie
called Corey, and that was like part one, and then we had a
movie called Marnie and that's part two, and then we had the third,
the trilogy Marnie and Corey, I'll be part three. So like my movie
would start off with I don't know, me killing it on the baseball field
or something. I was kid throwing balls against the wall. Yeah, see,
I don't playing with myself. I don't know if I would or not
playing with myself but you know, like playing ball with myself against Yeah,
you got it. You know, like I don't mind. I don't mind.
I think open talks are helpful and I don't mind. I mean,
I don't know. It varies. There's times where I feel depending on my
audience. And I know it's kind of ironic because when you're talking into a
microphone, I'm here, I don't know who I'm talking to, so I
don't really know who my audience is, but I kind of have an idea.
But there are sometimes where you're talking to people and you feel like more
comfortable about what you're sharing, or you're more open or kind of the the
route that the conversation is going in whatever meeting it is. You know,
you tend to touch on stuff that maybe you normally wouldn't have but in terms
of like a movie from like beginning of Me to like everything in between,
don't I don't know if I would want that on something that like out there,
a lot of dudes be like hey hold on, you'd be like,
I do only remember your dude? No, no, But there, I
mean, there are a lot of upsetting things that happened. Yeah, outside
of just me getting drunk and being dumb. But you know, a lot
of painful, painful stuff, a lot of traumatic things. Yeah, that
I don't think I would want captured in a movie that people could watch over
and over and over again. Okay, we'll call your movie something else then,
or I don't have a movie. People will be really confused, like,
who's Jeff? Why see that in this movie? I don't know.
That's just what I'm saying thinking about. So maybe I do it loosely based
off your life. Let's have some Harley chick ex tripper who like beats up
people and writes her Harley around town getting revenge. None of that is me,
but okay, just a baseball bat with nails through it, that'd be
awesome. So it just has nothing to do with me. No, but
she has a drinking problem. Okay, well there you go. So you
can just yeah, this this was based on a true story. Loosely,
just put that in the beginning, having it have that like claimer disclaimer,
and then have it like right after to say, loosely, after her wrestling
career ended, she lost everything because of her drug use. Tell she make
Corey, she stops slamming shots, and bodies, slamming people after she lost
your third trailer in a fire, leaving cigarettes lit met the explosion to yeah,
the guy she was gonna marry. Yeah, I don't know, all
right, So we'll just have Corey then, and then part two will never
happen, and then we'll have the trilogy just hit'll kind of do a Star
Wars style just all over the place and however we want to do it.
Just show us like at the moment of like building our lives and stuff.
But see a lot of that people don't like to see, right, like,
oh, they're doing great, thinks that struggle, Yeah, attention,
Yeah I don't. You wouldn't want to watch it your movie. Yeah,
but my movie be funny though m hm. I will keep out the bad
parts. It's just now. But I really I think just the stories I
could tell from just me going to treatment centers like that would be enough to
make a movie, a two hour movie easily. We could probably have four
of those. Corey goes to Grand Rapids, just like Corey goes the Sacred
Heart, Corey goes to Pine Rest, Corey goes to Bear River, Corey
goes to California. Cory goes back to Pine. Yeah, eight of those
people stop watching, I don't think, so that's some crazy shit that happened.
I would just combine all of those and just one though. Anyway,
that's just a thought. But that's if I don't know. We'll see how
the book comes along. And then if I want to do a movie on
my life, I don't know, we'll see, but I don't know.
I just want to make a movie about something else. We thought about making
a movie the other day, and I can't say what it's about because then
somebody was still my idea. There you go. It's pretty good though,
Okay, yeah, just give me pulse it. Anyway. We had an
anniversary, yeah, anniversary, and then I had a work anniversary four years
working at the treatment center and I work at three years of marriage, like
back to back awesomeness. Yeah, we had. We had like two anniversaries
and then you're so soberversary m hm. So yeah, and then Christmas is
coming up. That's going to be here in a couple of days, and
of course, of course, so it's not a Monday, so I think
a lot of people are going to celebrate it before it gives you more time
to you know. Yeah, if you have to go multiple places to celebrate,
you got a little more time for those people that can't don't have the
luxury of taking off as much time of work as they want. You know,
I'm going to refuse to celebrate Christmas after Christmas this year. Yeah,
it's gonna draw a line. Well, you kind of can't because we kind
of have my mom's Christmas the day after Christmas. Okay, after the twenty
sixth that I'm drawing the line in the sand. No more Christmases. Okay,
it's New Year's stuff. But see, we still got to get in
contact with your your father. Like, this is the thing about being married
that I just love, and I'm sure you do too, honey, I'm
sure you really love it is that the in laws and you've got to make
plans and you have to like do the things that you're like, Okay if
I have to because you're married, you know, so it's like, yes,
I have to go to your family's things, and yes, you have
to come to my family's things. You know. It's just like a which
should be a joy, right, like, hey, more Christmases, But
it's kind of a beatdown because you don't just have two Christmases, you have
four or five sometimes. Oh yeah, Like it's a lot of work,
and your mother lives relatively close to us, but everybody else is spread out
way far, way gone. Yeah, it's just one of those things.
Man, it's just like ah ah it. You know, it's being married.
Yeah, it's not into the world. And it's actually I like it.
I'm just saying. Yeah, I'm just saying, but people are who've
been married for a while know what the hell I'm talking about. It's a
lot of coordinating it. It's a lot of I guess, maneuvering schedules and
having to prioritize to based and then you got to fit work in there.
Well you know, how are you going to figure that out? Because that's
you know, that's part of that's part of reality. Talk to the boss.
Yeah. Yeah, And it's not so much. It's not like missing
a shift at a restaurant or something where it's like all you need to do
is somebody to cover you. I mean, you have responsibility to your clients.
And you know, it's not not saying it's not a job anybody else
can do, but it's you know, I'm on this journey with them and
so not being there, you know, when I said when when I'm supposed
to be, I mean they understand that it's holiday and I have my own
life and you know that's expected. So that's cool. But it's not like
you can't imagine being away for a long time, you know. And sometimes
when people go to treatment, you know, based on who their funding sources.
I think it's getting a little bit better now. And I don't know
if you guys even take different insurance are different and I don't want to say
insurances work with different PHPs throughout the state because there's ten different ones. Sometimes
they'll give them two weeks, you know, and if you're gone a week,
that's half the time. You know, Like it's hard to work on
stuff with people when taking time off. That's their air filter, air filter,
always something going on. Yeah, I don't know, exciting background,
just know it's real, it's legit. Yeah, how we do it the
home studio obviously today, but missing that time though, it is tough.
And do you have to give employees time off for holidays or how does that
work? You know? I think it well, whatever their policy, whatever
their employee handbook states, and far as far as like by law, you
mean, yeah, can I get away with because if you have to have
so many employees for you, I don't know how that works. I'm not
sure. I don't know. And I know, like lots of places of
work will offer time and a half for working on holidays because obviously it needs
to be staffed. Man, But you know I used to do. I
used to do a lot of the holidays. Does not do that. Well,
we don't have any part time employees. We just have salary people.
Yeah, but it doesn't like I know, next year, I'm scheduled to
work because they have to have certain therapists do meetings on holidays, you know,
and so every therapist has to pick up a holiday to work. And
I somehow because I started later in the year, I think I somehow got
overlooked for this year, which is fine, But next year, She's like,
which holiday do you want to work? And I was like, I
don't know. I was like, I'm usually gone Thanksgiving and Christmas, but
I know that's usually when people probably people want it off. So I'll be
I'm gonna be doing meetings on the January first next year. This in like
a couple of weeks, No twenty twenty five twenty Yeah, that's my girl,
because we don't know what's going to happen. Jesus could come back before
then, just like those student loans that you think we need to pay back.
No, I actually already started paying on my student loans. Yeah,
and that's that's great for you. I'm apprecire. I love the fact that
you do that, and you will be too. I just don't know.
Jesus. Like I said, he could come back and now we're I'm going
with them a big fan. I'm a big fan too. So unless he
would leave me here, I really hope he won't, and he's supposed to
take me with him. I'm just saying, you got these more and this
moral compass and things like that that you need to pass along to your unborn
child in the future. That's what's up. You know. What I'm saying
is you've acquired though, you have acquired those loans, and you pay them
back. But I'm not doing art. Your your failures did not does not
mean that you don't have to. But I've yet to become an artist,
Like, how can I pay that back? I know that you're joking because
you just are trying to get under my skin right now. Oh whatever,
honey, Yeah, maybe I am. Maybe you figured me out. We'll
see again. Not sure how we got on that topic, but Justin,
I'm just throwing this out there because I know Justin listens to the podcast,
we are not doing more vacation time. If anything, we're going to be
doing less because he's going to try that. Well, I'll work one holiday,
I will work on the twenty the first of twenty twenty five. The
rest of my want off. I should make a rule to where nobody gets
any vacation time because I like that except me. Why would do you want
that? I don't know, because I want to be a dictator. No,
maybe at least the first part of that word. I don't think you
really want that. No, I don't. And the guy's work really hard
and we and I asked him actually before that, I was like, I
was talking with Adam, I like, is there a vacation you want to
take in here? And he's like that I would do anything. Yeah,
that that time off is very important too. And I know Justin he likes
to take it off to go to concerts and stuff like that. So he
takes like days here and there. And you know, if you're just like
I'm gonna take a week off to just sit at the house and do not
shit, it's kind of boring, right, you know. But if you
can actually save up a comple or you know, just keep going to concerts
and taking days off, you know, that's another way to do it too.
But you know it's it's boring sometimes when you just take off to take
off. But oh yeah, I don't know. I'm pretty leaning on myself
when I put up my requests. That's good. I'll talk about myself,
like Cordy, you really need to take the Friday too, Yes, boss
man, I do. Okay, you're approved anyway. Marty's over there,
ya, and we have a football game to watch because I didn't make the
playoffs. Fancy football, you did. I did, but I am not
doing well today. But you got your boy, Josh Allen. Looks like
it's seven to nothing flo Bills, So yeah, we'll see how it goes.
But it's I don't think it's gonna shake out in my favor. He's
been known to put up fifty he has, He's saved your team many times,
so that's true. Let's see what happens. But wait real quick,
Yes we saw Wanka. Yeah, so we were a few movies all the
time on here that we see you know, the stream or whatever, but
this is the first movie we've gone to in a long time, like a
wow, yeah, And it was kind of like I just heard Wanka and
I'm like, I'm in Well, actually that's not completely true because I know
that Johnny Depp did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I was not I was
like, I'm not interested just because I kind of it heard a little bit
about how it was and not a huge Johnny Depp person, and so I
was just like, it's just going to ruin it for me because I absolutely
love the original and so but I saw a couple of advertisements for it,
and I think the oople Lupa thing sold me with helped me with the name.
And I Hugh Grant, who he does look like an oople lupa,
like his faith like it. No, I mean his face like the if
you look at the once a Little Person, if you look at if you
look at the oople Oopus from the original, Ah, like you could see
how that would work like his They did a good job. Anyway, I'm
but yeah, I think it was very entertaining and not even close. I
can't even hold a candle to the original at all, you know, but
it was it was entertaining and Q I guess you must have that sunmental factor
in there for the original, because if you watched the original once, the
last time you watched the original mmm twenty years ago. Oh, probably like
two years ago. I've put it on since I don't know if it was
COVID I watched it or I can't remember. That doesn't really hold up.
And a lot of people were mad that they didn't use actual little people for
the Hugh Grant part. Oh yeah, they wouldn't have made sense, Like
you couldn't put a real little person in a bottle, right, you know.
I think that they used little people because they didn't have the technology.
If they would have had the technology back in the day when they made that,
they probably would have. But I guess they still could have used a
little person. And then just I don't know, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, so there were some people that were up in our arms.
But whatever you do in life, you're gonna make some money. Mad,
But the movie wasn't too bad and the whole time, I'm thinking, I'm
about to watch this with Parker one day. Yeah, and it'll be fun.
And it was. It was cute, it was, it was all
right. Yeah, so I give it three and a half out of five
stars. Yeah, it's about the same for me, bem the best movie
ever. But is is what it is. And if you're a fan of
that, then yeah, so go check it out. Yeah, definitely a
family movie for sure. Absolutely, we're good. We're good, Okay,
now we can yeah, because I did say we were going to talk about
that, yeah and rate it. But there was something I was going to
talk about though with Wonka. Yeah, having bad memory problems the last few
days. So anyway, if it does come to me and I think I
need to bring it back up again, you know I will. So go
watch Wanka and enjoy your fantasy football run. If people are on fantasy football
leagues and in the playoffs, that's the luck to you. Yep. And
we'll talk to for sure coming up on the holidays or ill will I will
be around for that. I'm sure he'll do one before Okay, Yeah,
we'll see. Okay, sounds good, all right, take care everybody to
