there, kind of It is May sixteenth, twenty twenty four. My name's
Corey Winfield, my name's Marny Winfield, and this is the two seventeen Recovery
Podcast, Live from the UFAM rally in Lansing, Michigan. I'm the MC
he definitely is, but you definitely are fancy here. It's yeah, it's
it's cool is I'm not nervous. Really, I don't really know what to
say out there, and you can probably tell that I'm just kind of winging
it. But guy told me that I sounded good and it doesn't really matter
what I say as long as it sounds good to come out to speakers,
you know. True. It's kind of like a Drake song or something.
I'm just saying. But no, there's a lot of people here. It's
a beautiful day here in Lansing. It's going to about four o'clock too.
I don't know when we're going to publish this podcast, so I don't really
know, and I can't really say, comb rush here now all by the
time you come here, we're not gonna be here, right. But there's
a lot of reform talk. There's a lot of change talk, a lot
of legislation like let's do this, let's do that, and you know,
so that's cool, you know, people in recovery. I wish this included
more people with different addictions. You know. I would love to see my
friend Craig you know who or may or may not have a gambling problem that
we met at a gambling consortiums. Yeah, we met him there and the
stuff that he does, and this other guy named Mike, they do great
stuff. And it's like, I want to see them part of this too,
because addictions addiction to me, and yeah, I get it. You
know, there's different classes of it or whatever. And the people that are
celebrating here seem to be more, you know, with substance use disorder stuff
like that, and mental health and and that's cool too, but I just
think there's there's they're so close together there, you know. I'm just an
opportunity. Way. I found a one ten grand who knows, you know,
like I found of one five hundred dollars, who knows. I might
have just might haveer suaded me, sure, and then my money would have
went towards that, Because whatever is most important to you is where your money
goes. That's why the addictions so strong and was so powerful. You know.
For us it was alcohol, yeah, you know, and we dabble
in other things too, but we'd always come back to that alcohol and that's
what was number one for us. But if it switches from alcohol to you
know, gambling, and that becomes number one, then you kind of kind
of work in the alcohol whatever the drugs on the side. But it's still
it's tough, man, It's tough. But there are beautiful people here today.
You are here with your belet. Yes I am, and you're still
calling yourself my wife. I am, I am. I've been fully given
the full kind of order of operation in terms of if something does happen,
I have like half the staff is on the lawn here ready if if I
was to go into labor. Yeah, so that's that's always good to have
that support. But yeah, doctor dev Smith came with ti us earlier and
I'm like, your doctor, She's like, not that kind. So then
she went and grab a cop. She's like, hey, officer, this
woman could go into labor and time. So so to make sure, Hey,
what do we do? What do we call? I'm just thinking,
where's how's the what's the fastest route to the hospital. I probably get there,
yeah, but I mean I don't know. I don't know. I've
never had a child. So does it happen like, oh, boot,
hey child's here, haven't it there? There we go? Or is it
like all right, it's coming now, it's wait another eight hours. So
I've done a lot of reading. It's not like the baby would be born
on the lawn. It would be more so like it's time to go to
the hospital. But you know, we're like almost halfway through it, so
I think we're gonna be in good shape. Well yeah, it's going back
pretty quick in now. Yeah, That's what Christian was saying to me.
And when he got off stage, Lifetime He's like, man, it's already
flying by, and I was like, that's why I do keep it moving.
Yep. So they got some food here, hot dogs and chips and
water that they're I don't know if it's free or if they're well, I
mean it's like a dollar or something. But then if someone's hungry they need
a hot dollar or some water, they're not going to be like, no,
you don't have a dollar. That's a dollar donation. And all tons
of different agencies and organizations here to talk about what they do and share how
they're a part of, you know, the recovery community and in the main
theme of you know, helping people recover from from like you were saying,
I mean addictions out all different kinds of ways, but represented here is mostly
substance use disordered, which which is cool. I mean that's where we fit
in. But it's it's a great crowd and it's a lot of advocacy,
a lot of assets to ask to see in front of us. Just haven't
just been over. Wow, couldn't know about that. And I know I
shouldn't have liked, like, look at you and I and I like did
like look and then you're like looked, and you're like, well, then
I don't want to look, like, what do you want me to see,
Corey? And then you realize, oh, yeah, I totally could
have avoided that. That's okay, sorry, And then I ruined whatever we
were talking about. Well it's not me, oh right, it is again,
right, A lot of asked to see here in front of me.
Oh, justin brook stumping. And so the clock is ticking because you are
about to be back to the stage. He did say it was like fifteen
minutes. I don't know how long ago. That was probably about ten.
Okay, so we should wrap it up. But I did want to check
in at least publish something and see what we could do from here. And
yeah, I have a little fun, absolutely the tradition of what we do.
