Speaker 3: they're going to be people like talking to balls, And
Speaker 3: there was some of that, but it was still pretty
Speaker 3: cool co host Arnie Winfield.
Speaker 4: If they don't get that sincere messaging, then they're not
Speaker 4: going to have that conversation on a level where maybe
Speaker 4: you can get through to them.
Speaker 1: With special guest Mitchell O'Brien, I really hate to do.
Speaker 2: Listen to you guys, but I really have to go

Speaker 3: You and Marni were at diversity training, right?
Speaker 2: Is that what it was?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: And you guys were talking about what you had learned
Speaker 3: that day, and you would It's kind of got in
Speaker 3: the heat of the moment.
Speaker 5: I was kind of tired, and then I was just talking.
Speaker 5: I was excited to share what I had learned. Marnie
Speaker 5: had to go take care of the baby and left
Speaker 5: me out there with you and Jesse, And it was
Speaker 5: the first mistake we should have paused.
Speaker 7: It was it was it was.
Speaker 4: She was speaking about misconceptions about different cultures and reeces.
Speaker 2: And then she was misconceived. It's yeah, yeah, well Grace,
Speaker 2: obviously I mean it.
Speaker 3: I think it is.
Speaker 7: But yeah, and how long ago was that.
Speaker 5: The first conference we went to when I started here,
Speaker 5: like a week and.
Speaker 3: A half September. But I know, but it still makes
Speaker 3: the podcast, so we have to explain it. But no,
Speaker 3: we have some other explaining to at least Mitchell does.
Speaker 3: Because we had a crazy busy weekend with you know,
Speaker 3: family and in it and it's great to get out
Speaker 3: of the house and gold places, but it's also nice
Speaker 3: to just kind of chill in one spot how much
Speaker 3: And Corey, you know, you were. You're getting the house,
Speaker 3: you know, building it and trying to get it all
Speaker 3: put together, and so you're kind of busy in packing
Speaker 3: and Mitch, would you do this weekend?
Speaker 2: I chilled in one spot for about thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard the story about I'm in here early
Speaker 3: and putting stuff together, and and I hear you talking
Speaker 3: about like a can pulled out of something. I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: like your car got stuck, and like, oh, Mitch, you
Speaker 3: know I had that truck too much faith in that
Speaker 3: all wheel drive, you know.
Speaker 2: And then Corey comes in. She's like, are you hearing this?
Speaker 2: And she says, oh.
Speaker 3: They pulled him out. So I'll let you explain the
Speaker 3: story before I start spoiling it.
Speaker 2: Well, I almost had the person I was with get
Speaker 2: the truck and drive it down on the beach. I
Speaker 2: was like, I got a toast strap, we can wrap
Speaker 2: that thing all right.
Speaker 3: So what happened was so it was a beautiful sunday
Speaker 3: northern MICHIGANO was like sixty yesterday, right.
Speaker 2: It was cloudy and windy though, and so we did
Speaker 2: some yard clean up and went to the scrapyard. We
Speaker 2: had a couple of fridges and like a water heater going.
Speaker 3: Your mom or your son? Like, who who's you?
Speaker 2: Said? We She starts out as a friend at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the story, she ends this is my girlfriend
Speaker 2: by the end of the story. So I spent kind
Speaker 2: of hard trying to find a like a nineteen's old
Speaker 2: to find that it's also closer to my age obviously.
Speaker 3: Okay, So all right, so you're with a female and
Speaker 3: she's helping you clean out, You help her clean out?
Speaker 2: Like, what's going on here? Helping her? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're you're helping her out, you're just say, yo,
Speaker 3: just a friend.
Speaker 2: Well, we've we've had some talks about being more than
Speaker 2: just friends, but we hadn't taken that leap, and so
Speaker 2: I just went over there. I got a truck. I
Speaker 2: had nothing to do that day, so I was like,
Speaker 2: let's do this, and so we took a couple of
Speaker 2: trips over to the scrapyard. That was fun. Hadn't been
Speaker 2: to that one before. It was neat you know, fun.
Speaker 3: Before we go any further story, I want to check
Speaker 3: in with our resident therapist to see I just have
Speaker 3: a question, Marnie. Yes, is there some kind of like
Speaker 3: I don't want to call it a disability. Mitch, is
Speaker 3: there some kind of diagnosis for men who like to
Speaker 3: take stuff to the scrapyard for women?
Speaker 4: I can't think of it. I'm trying to see if
Speaker 4: he's like the scrapyard in particular. No, I don't not at.
Speaker 2: The top of myosis.
Speaker 7: You mean like an addiction to like junk, like helping stuff.
Speaker 3: Away, because I think that there's something from that, because
Speaker 3: Mitch and we both know there's a route, there's like
Speaker 3: some rooted stuff behind this.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I mean I think you just if you walk into
Speaker 3: someone's house, I think you just want to throw trash away,
Speaker 3: like that is clutter, that's trash. We're not hoarding, and
Speaker 3: you just throw it away. I think a house, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe he was raised obviously that.
Speaker 4: Would be like that would be anything would be close.
Speaker 4: So that would be like o c D to where
Speaker 4: it's like cleanliness.
Speaker 3: I don't think he has OCD, so I think you're
Speaker 3: in the father them. It's great. So you've passed my
Speaker 3: test of just helping somebody out. So you're helping them out,
Speaker 3: you don't have a disorder or anything out And you
Speaker 3: said yes, yes, crazy bastard, Well it was great. Masters
Speaker 3: Ron see if you're into sports, you'd be like, oh man,
Speaker 3: I gotta see if they let me keep the money
Speaker 3: for it. Okay, all right, so yeah, all right. So anyway,
Speaker 3: so scrapyard is where you're going. You're taking stuff there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The cool part was that, like this guy's truck died
Speaker 2: and then he's like, hey, you give me a jump.
Speaker 2: I was like, I ain't got no cables. He's like
Speaker 2: I do. I was a cool, We'll do that, and
Speaker 2: we're like in the scrapyard. So he did that, and
Speaker 2: then at the end he gave me his jumper cables.
Speaker 2: He's like, I find these things all over the place,
Speaker 2: so just take him. I was like, oh sweet. So
Speaker 2: I just said to give him a drump his truck,
Speaker 2: and now I got some new drumper cables. It's pretty sweet.
Speaker 2: But anyway, Christmas after that we had to attend. Both
Speaker 2: of the people involved, myself and her have children teenage children.
Speaker 2: So we have a child, yeah, I have a child,
Speaker 2: she has multiple so yeah, we made sure that they
Speaker 2: are situated and doing what they needed to do, and
Speaker 2: then we're like, what are we going to do. Let's
Speaker 2: let's go on an adventure whatever, and so I was
Speaker 2: like Okay, leon Ol County's head to the beach. Why not?
Speaker 2: We got I got those like scoops that are made
Speaker 2: out of like ski poles, so you don't have to
Speaker 2: like be on your hands and knees looking for rocks
Speaker 2: and a nonybody knows I'm a rock hunter. One of
Speaker 2: my favorite things being out on Lake Michigan beaches. So
Speaker 2: last weekend, me and this individual hit up a couple
Speaker 2: of other beaches and this is my all time favorite
Speaker 2: ones who we were going to this one. Before we
Speaker 2: could even get there, I was like, Hey, I have
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of family from Lake Leanland. I want
Speaker 2: to show you where my family's from. So there's actually
Speaker 2: a street right around the corner from Lake lelanda the village,
Speaker 2: not the lake that's got my last name. It's O'Brien Road,
Speaker 2: which is kind of neat. That's where my grandpa lived
Speaker 2: until he passed a bunch of years ago. But so
Speaker 2: we stopped there, and this should have been like the
Speaker 2: foreshadowing because we get there and there had just been
Speaker 2: a t boning accident right right in front of the street.
Speaker 2: So there's a cop in a wrecker and an old
Speaker 2: man who's hobbling from one car to another and like,
Speaker 2: so it was intense, but there was like just enough
Speaker 2: room in between for me to get into the road.
Speaker 2: And I was like, we're gonna do it anyway. She's like,
Speaker 2: I can't believe you're doing this. I'm like, I'm doing
Speaker 2: this is my street. They can't keep me on my street.
Speaker 2: It's got my name right there, you know. So we
Speaker 2: go up there and I show her kind of like
Speaker 2: O'Brien history. Okay, you know, that was neat, And then
Speaker 2: we came out. I got some for you. Yeahks sad.
Speaker 2: So you're like, this that's where our grandfather passed. It
Speaker 2: kind of was because right around the corner is the
Speaker 2: cemetery he's buried in. Oh. I was like, there's a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of O'Brien's back in the right corner of
Speaker 2: the cemetery. It's great.
Speaker 3: So you're trying to like prove your worth to her.
Speaker 8: Okay, So the O'Brien's here, We were here since eighteen
Speaker 8: sixty three. Twelve of us got killed in the Civil War.
Speaker 8: That's why they named this road after my grandfather. What
Speaker 8: he did for the North, it was truly inspiring.
Speaker 3: They named this whole peninsula after my grandma Leland. Naw, oh,
Speaker 3: Mitchell O'Brien, I mean, we'll stop.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is my brother three weeks ago now
Speaker 2: there first, my brother three weeks ago had our first,
Speaker 2: their first child, a son. They named him Leland, which.
Speaker 6: Is first child, and we named you after my grandmother Leland.
Speaker 2: Please, girl, let's go somewhere to make out.
Speaker 3: So after all this O'Brien history, it was like the
Speaker 3: trail of tears almost right.
Speaker 2: So you're taking them through.
Speaker 3: Like O'Brien lore. You tell them about the brother man.
Speaker 3: This is just insane. It's it's going great, and then
Speaker 3: you decided to you what minche Well.
Speaker 2: We were gonna go to the beach next, but I
Speaker 2: really wanted a picture of O'Brien road street sign obviously
Speaker 2: I had never gotten one before. So we get there
Speaker 2: and this accident is still being cleaned up. It's like
Speaker 2: the right, I mean, it's not a long street. It
Speaker 2: took us seven minutes to drive to the end and back.
Speaker 2: So it's like whatever.
Speaker 3: Emergency services have nothing else to do yesterday or what
Speaker 3: they're not yet milking it, milking the cocky.
Speaker 2: There's one call on Sunday well they got two. But
Speaker 2: h yeah. So I'm like parking in the middle of
Speaker 2: this like wreckage and I'm sitting there like taking pictures.
Speaker 2: Not an accident, but the street signed and the police
Speaker 2: officers off to the left looking at me like what
Speaker 2: is this guy doing? And I'm like, I'm going over
Speaker 2: and this is my this is my zone, so get out.
Speaker 3: My FI shouldn't be recording me. He said, you didn't
Speaker 3: want to beat up here.
Speaker 2: Oh, And it was funny because I knew one of
Speaker 2: the guys that was there in one of the cars,
Speaker 2: so it was interesting. That's, you know, literally where all
Speaker 2: my family comes from. But yeah, so we left there
Speaker 2: and went to my favorite beach, which is Van's Beach
Speaker 2: in Leland, Michigan, right on Lake Michigan, just adjacent to
Speaker 2: the Manitou Islands.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 2: Fishtown's over there. It's a fun place in the summertime.
Speaker 2: But I got me some muck boots this winter so
Speaker 2: I could go rock hunting when it's cold, and you know,
Speaker 2: you don't want to have bare feet and all that.
Speaker 2: So I just got a little overconfident. But we got
Speaker 2: out there and they decided to dredge the harbor in Leland.
Speaker 2: It gets really shallow in the wintertime, to the point
Speaker 2: that some of the boats can't get in and out.
Speaker 2: When they do that, I guess they have this giant
Speaker 2: pump that they put in the harbor and this huge
Speaker 2: hose that goes like one hundred and fifty two hundred
Speaker 2: yards away down the beach that we wanted like a
Speaker 2: big vacuum, Like how do they get confused something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how it works on the harbor side,
Speaker 2: but I was staring for about thirty five minutes right
Speaker 2: at the receiving end of this thing. It was just
Speaker 2: a really big tube. Yeah, it was right in front
Speaker 2: of me. M so you then get you rocked. So
Speaker 2: it was really it was crazy, like this wash out
Speaker 2: area where this tube is spraying water and sand from
Speaker 2: the harbor, Like it's covering an area of like the
Speaker 2: size of a roughly like a basketball court. So it's
Speaker 2: like a big deal. It's washed a lot of beach
Speaker 2: out and I should have known that that was going
Speaker 2: to make the sand what they were calling unstable later
Speaker 2: in the story. But I just want to go find
Speaker 2: some cool rocks.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: They got cool blue rocks there, and so that's what
Speaker 2: we were doing and you guys like holding hands and stuff.
Speaker 2: Not yeah yeah, saw you do it?
Speaker 3: You just like throw out your hand. It's like touch
Speaker 3: the fingers kind of just you know, just barely, just
Speaker 3: like hey, hey, oh is your hand them?
Speaker 2: Did you just grab it? Like come over here? A
Speaker 2: woman I think she said. I think she just grabbed
Speaker 2: it and said come over here, man.
Speaker 3: And you're like, oh, okay, yeah, well we'll not letting
Speaker 3: go that.
Speaker 2: That's what we're doing. And I was like, thank you
Speaker 2: for that. I've been wanting to do that for a while.
Speaker 2: Let me show you something. Ounce m yet rock, let
Speaker 2: me go grab it, hold on, let me Well, we
Speaker 2: got through the safe part of the beach to this
Speaker 2: dangerous part, which I didn't So there's signs that say
Speaker 2: it's dangerous, there's not, but there actually might be today
Speaker 2: but there wasn't at the time. Found a couple of
Speaker 2: cool rocks. It was sweet. But we only had a
Speaker 2: little section of beach that wasn't affected. And we got
Speaker 2: over there and I was like, I really want to
Speaker 2: get to the other side of this washed out area
Speaker 2: because I think there's a good stuff over there. So
Speaker 2: we're kind of just like picking her way through it,
Speaker 2: and I'm not paying attention, like a looking water direction,
Speaker 2: and she literally goes, that looks really dangerous over there,
Speaker 2: And I thought she meant this whole washed out area,
Speaker 2: but she was pointing at an exact spot in the
Speaker 2: like where the water the waves hit the beach, like
Speaker 2: right there, And so she then turns around to pick
Speaker 2: a rock up. She's not paying attention to what I'm
Speaker 2: doing thing, and apparently I turned around and blined it
Speaker 2: for that spot. The beach just went I could have had,
Speaker 2: I could have went anywhere, but I went right there
Speaker 2: to where she was like, that looks dangerous and uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I got to where the water was about an inch
Speaker 2: or too thick and thick deep deep, Yeah, it's definitely deep.
Speaker 2: Think of something out to that later. And the ground
Speaker 2: just kind of opened up and swallowed me up and
Speaker 2: I went down like all just this. We've been calling
Speaker 2: it either like a quicksand sinkhole, like a quicksand hole,
Speaker 2: and I just want to report I haven't said this.
Speaker 2: I've waited to the pot for the podcast. Is the
Speaker 2: first thing out of my pockets on my descent into
Speaker 2: the hole was my phone, nice, followed by my keys
Speaker 2: and I did not have enough time to save the
Speaker 2: bait the baite that was on. But I'm like sitting
Speaker 2: there with my arm straight up in the air holding
Speaker 2: my phone and my keys, and uh yeah, I had
Speaker 2: had enough time to like I was trying to turn around.
Speaker 2: So now my like butt end is pointed straight out
Speaker 2: to the what feels like a frigid ocean to me
Speaker 2: because the water's not warm right now. Yeah, so you're
Speaker 2: up to your waist, was it?
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, it's about And because Corey showed me, there's
Speaker 3: no I'm like, there's pictures of it, there's no just about.
Speaker 2: I was up to my waist.
Speaker 3: Like imagine like if if you've ever been to the beach,
Speaker 3: if you've been in Lake Michigan or maybe an ocean,
Speaker 3: you know, like where the water comes up, you know,
Speaker 3: it's that that's sandy.
Speaker 2: It's kind of hard.
Speaker 3: You know, you can make like little castles out of it,
Speaker 3: you know, and you're just walking along and then whoop,
Speaker 3: I'm to my waist.
Speaker 2: Like everybody knows what sand feels like to walk on it.
Speaker 2: It's a little firmer than drive sand and that stuff
Speaker 2: like that. So I was dealing with that until it wasn't.
Speaker 2: And it was basically like stepping into liquid almost and
Speaker 2: then it just went right up and I was I
Speaker 2: had enough. I tried to turn around and like step out,
Speaker 2: so I was able to not get my right foot
Speaker 2: as stuck as my left foot, but my left foot
Speaker 2: was straight down like I was standing, even though like
Speaker 2: if you look at the pictures, you's literally waste. I
Speaker 2: was up to my waist in this quicksand and water.
Speaker 2: And at first, right when it happened, the water was
Speaker 2: kind of choppy, so it was like splashing waves up
Speaker 2: on my back. So it's like like like water splashing,
Speaker 2: and that was real fun. But it kind of calmed
Speaker 2: down after like fifteen or twenty minutes. You kinda check
Speaker 2: in with the therapist again. All right, So what about
Speaker 2: those guys that there has to be a name for it?
Speaker 2: Maybe it's in the DSM five guys who want to
Speaker 2: be saved? Like is there out there? I know I
Speaker 2: maybe was one two? Who knows?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure there may be a diagnosis that
Speaker 4: falls underneath, like the criter.
Speaker 2: And he's taking, isn't he taking?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 3: Like are you talking about like you hook up with
Speaker 3: this girl and watch this like she likes saving people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're talking about fixers, know that saving That was
Speaker 2: that was a comment that was made as a joke
Speaker 2: while this was happening.
Speaker 3: It was Captain save a ho save a dude or
Speaker 3: I don't know, captain save a do there you go,
Speaker 3: sergeants save a So you're dating well so so she
Speaker 3: so like you're in this and you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: and you probably realized quickly like this is going to
Speaker 3: be a huge problem. Obviously you don't watch Survivor. Martie
Speaker 3: and I watched Survivor. We would have made it out
Speaker 3: of this no problem, because you clearly you belly roll
Speaker 3: on quicksand we've we've seen it right, right, so.
Speaker 2: There's a problem with that. So this is actually my
Speaker 2: third run in with Quicksand in northern Michigan, which is
Speaker 2: blowing people's minds. That's why I needed to get pictures
Speaker 2: of it, because I was afraid people weren't going to
Speaker 2: believe me. This is the first time I've ever needed
Speaker 2: to because last time was on a beach just south
Speaker 2: of where we were, and it was like last fallish,
Speaker 2: like late August, early September, and I was able to
Speaker 2: like spin around, get down on my butt and scoop
Speaker 2: and so that's kind of what I was trying to do,
Speaker 2: and it didn't work out. As soon as my left
Speaker 2: leg went all the way down to where it was,
Speaker 2: I was waist deep that deeper sand like hardened and
Speaker 2: there was no moving like I couldn't wiggle anything like
Speaker 2: that sand just got around it and there was like
Speaker 2: completely immobilized even a little bit. So I spent fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes trying to dig myself out with my hands until
Speaker 2: I did it basically with my hands until I couldn't
Speaker 2: feel them anymore.
Speaker 3: And then my like stick thing because the water is
Speaker 3: so cold and it is very cold. And then so
Speaker 3: did you think this is how I'm going to die?
Speaker 3: Or did you think that your lady friend, being the
Speaker 3: sergeant savor of douches, was gonna get you out of this?
Speaker 2: I'm I'm glad you asked me that question when you did,
Speaker 2: because she immediately goes into a full blown sergeant panic attack.
Speaker 2: Oh like deabilitating panic attack, not like you're gonna die,
Speaker 2: calm collected, like this is terrible, you know, And no,
Speaker 2: she did it because she cares, you know, she cares,
Speaker 2: and she was worried about me, but so it quickly
Speaker 2: turned into me trying to dig myself out and calm
Speaker 2: her down, coach her through breathing, like calming down. And
Speaker 2: at one point later on, she's like, how are you
Speaker 2: the calm one? You're the one that's in the life
Speaker 2: threatening situation and I'm the one that's freaking out. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, you know, I was going to freak
Speaker 2: out till I saw you freaking out. Serge, You're definitely
Speaker 2: not taking you in a battle. Geez, that's horrible. Hopefully
Speaker 2: you didn't judge her too bad because of that. No, No,
Speaker 2: I was actually really thankful that she didn't like leave.
Speaker 3: And you're like, you know, we should be dating now.
Speaker 3: But so you get to get the fire department out
Speaker 3: there to like, yep, throw a lasso to you and
Speaker 3: then they would tie it to their jeep.
Speaker 2: You're you're getting ahead of yourself out, getting ahead of yourself.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm digging myself for like fifteen twentiethmisch. I
Speaker 2: think it was more like fifteens. That working out for you, Nah,
Speaker 2: it's not. So. My foot moved maybe an inch in
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, and that's when I went, I can't get
Speaker 2: out of this under my own strength. So let's figure
Speaker 2: out how we do help. And she's like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: run up to one of these houses. I was like,
Speaker 2: first off, there's probably nobody home, and if they are,
Speaker 2: they don't care.
Speaker 3: She didn't go grab a stick or something from a
Speaker 3: tree and be like hey, I like roll.
Speaker 2: It out to you. She was trying to get close
Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2: We don't both die in the sand hole like Michigan.
Speaker 2: You stay over there. I'm like, you're doing the job
Speaker 2: I need you to do. Keep my phone safe because
Speaker 2: if I survived this but my phone doesn't, Corey Winfield's
Speaker 2: going to kill me. So I said that actually, but
Speaker 2: it got to a point where I realized that I
Speaker 2: wasn't getting anywhere, so I just told her calmly. I
Speaker 2: was like, it's it's time to get help. And she's like,
Speaker 2: I'm run up to the houses. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: we're going to call nine one one, like that's the
Speaker 2: that's the move here, you know. And in my head
Speaker 2: I didn't want to bother them because it's like he's
Speaker 2: going to be I had convinced myself that they were
Speaker 2: going to be annoyed that another rock hunter had been
Speaker 2: messing around in the springtime and phoning in a quick
Speaker 2: sand hole and like they have to deal with this
Speaker 2: and they have to come out because this happens all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of sillness and like Baar Dunes over
Speaker 3: in Glenarbor or whatever, Like they have signs because there's
Speaker 3: this big hill and people think, oh, go run down there,
Speaker 3: and then they don't realize like, oh my god, that
Speaker 3: is going to take me forever to get back up,
Speaker 3: so they'll call for help. Well there's like a penalty,
Speaker 3: like they'll find you if you have to call them
Speaker 3: for help.
Speaker 2: Like that that ran through my mind. But there's no signs, right,
Speaker 2: he's thinking damn. So I'm like, well, they're just gonna
Speaker 2: be a little annoyed. They have to do this again, right,
Speaker 2: probably the first of the season, you know whatever. And
Speaker 2: so we call and the first thing that happens is
Speaker 2: she's trying to call and she's like, I can't get
Speaker 2: my phone to work. And I kind of think she
Speaker 2: was panicking too much to hit but I don't know,
Speaker 2: I really don't know something either, Like she couldn't get
Speaker 2: it to work. So I was like, okay, hand me
Speaker 2: my phone. So she reaches over, handing my phone. So
Speaker 2: I'm calling nine to one one now from my quick
Speaker 2: sand hole. She has a picture of being on the phone.
Speaker 2: My mom saw it and she's like, look looks like
Speaker 2: you're taking a business call, some big deal. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's fine. So I put it on speaker because it's
Speaker 2: like the water is loud. I'm right where the loud
Speaker 2: water on a beach is. This is where I'm located.
Speaker 2: And I have it on speaker and I'm like hello, hello,
Speaker 2: and the guy's like, oh, I think it's one of
Speaker 2: them telemarketers. Again, it hangs up on me, and I
Speaker 2: was like, you know, don't do that. So I call back,
Speaker 2: and I didn't. I don't realize that she's finally getting
Speaker 2: through to them because she's staying in like twenty to
Speaker 2: thirty feet away because I'm trying to get her away
Speaker 2: from the danger water, you know. And so I finally
Speaker 2: get back through to the guy that thought I was
Speaker 2: a telemarketer. I'm like, can you hear me? He's like
Speaker 2: well yeah. Now, I was like okay, I'm stuck and
Speaker 2: quicksand obviously he's like, what address are you at. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: the Lake Michigan one, the one over by. But I
Speaker 2: explained it to him, you know, And I tried to
Speaker 2: tell him because there's two entrances to the speech, one
Speaker 2: way up by Leland and one over by where we are,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, we're by the South one South one.
Speaker 2: Emt guy, you should know your directions, so it'll you'll
Speaker 2: get to me faster if you go to the south one. Right.
Speaker 2: So about ten minutes later, Oh, I'm skipping all these
Speaker 2: great things, all these great parts of the story. So
Speaker 2: as I'm on the phone with the nine to one
Speaker 2: one operator, he's like, why are you calling? And so
Speaker 2: I just say the words my girlfriend was trying to
Speaker 2: call and she couldn't get through. This is the first
Speaker 2: time I've used that, even though her and I had
Speaker 2: spoken about exploring a deeper relationship. And uh. So he goes,
Speaker 2: I think your girlfriend's on the other line right now.
Speaker 2: Oh did your heart melt? I was like, you heard
Speaker 2: those words someone else referred to her as your girlfriend.
Speaker 2: We like We found out later that the calls happened
Speaker 2: almost simultaneously, and so I was calling her my girlfriend
Speaker 2: trying to call there while she was saying, my boyfriend's
Speaker 2: dying in the sand and in leland. So we said
Speaker 2: that at the same time, calling a nine to one
Speaker 2: one number, which I'd like to consult a resident therapist
Speaker 2: about them. If you start a relationship through simultaneous nine
Speaker 2: one one under trauma, is that considered trauma bonding?
Speaker 7: It could be, It could be. Depends on what you
Speaker 7: do with what you do with that.
Speaker 2: That's been the joke I've been saying every since that happened,
Speaker 2: is like, yeah, we're trauma bonded. But yeah, no. So
Speaker 2: ten minutes later, this guy from the further entrance starts
Speaker 2: to baywatch jog down the beach and I just noticed
Speaker 2: he has this orange thing and a rope that he
Speaker 2: bought a tractor supply company. That's not or he picked
Speaker 2: it up from the local stable like farm, because it
Speaker 2: was literally one of them like stiff ropes that they
Speaker 2: used for lassos in a rodeo, That's what it was.
Speaker 2: And it was tied like a lasso and everything, And
Speaker 2: I'm like, so what are we doing here? But she's
Speaker 2: still kind of freaking out. She's come down a little bit,
Speaker 2: and so I'm trying to make her laugh. So this
Speaker 2: guy coming up has like this perfect cop mustache, and
Speaker 2: so I'm like, oh, he's got a mustache. We're good.
Speaker 2: We're saved. Like just the fact he's got a mustache.
Speaker 2: Just hope, like, you know, start talking. If anybody can
Speaker 2: save us, it's him. He's got the stash for it,
Speaker 2: you know. And then finally, when he got close enough
Speaker 2: for the other three firemen from the direction, I told
Speaker 2: him to come, We're on their way. And so the
Speaker 2: first thing he does is he hands me this life jacket,
Speaker 2: this orange life jacket that doesn't fit, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: like that's cool, and I kind of suspect that that's
Speaker 2: if my body would have drifted off to see they'd
Speaker 2: be able to find me easier.
Speaker 3: Well, when they threw it to you, would you do
Speaker 3: I have to get all up in it.
Speaker 2: I looked at it, like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 2: I'm standing here, but no, by that time, now there's
Speaker 2: her and four firemen, one holding a lasso, me putting
Speaker 2: on the stupid life jacket that doesn't fit, and they're
Speaker 2: all standing like really close to me. But I'm waist
Speaker 2: deep in sand where their feet are. So I'm looking
Speaker 2: up at them, and I feel like a toddler asking
Speaker 2: for uppies, Like I'm just I'm like uppy. And so
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what's the play here, guys. It's like
Speaker 2: we're gonna put this over here. I was like, okay, whatever,
Speaker 2: and they tighten it down and this rope is like
Speaker 2: between my armpits. He's like, or I'll pull you out,
Speaker 2: like okay, oh no, sorry, sorry. So first he goes,
Speaker 2: what we're gonna have you do is lay down and
Speaker 2: roll out, and I was like, that's a great idea.
Speaker 2: The problem is this leg is straight down anchoring me
Speaker 2: to whatever has now consumed my foot, Like yeah, that stuck.
Speaker 2: So I was stuck. And he's like, oh, so they
Speaker 2: start trying to like pull me, like all four of
Speaker 2: these guys, and it's not working. Like all they're doing
Speaker 2: is cracking my back and my hips and my knees
Speaker 2: and like, because it did, like every joint from my
Speaker 2: like shoulders down to my foot on that side all popped.
Speaker 2: Back in the day when they were a little bit
Speaker 2: in my armprets.
Speaker 3: Actually we have like they would tie up person's arm
Speaker 3: to a horse or another arm to a different horse.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was actually at one point I was like,
Speaker 2: is my foot gonna stay like.
Speaker 3: I had messed up? Man, rip your like half of
Speaker 3: your body off or something. Well, the one guy mustache
Speaker 3: comes over to me before they start pulling. They're like,
Speaker 3: he goes, we might not be able to save your boot,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, could you save me?
Speaker 2: Though? Like that in the plan because I could care
Speaker 2: less about what's on my feet as long as I
Speaker 2: could keep trying and keep those you know, That's kind
Speaker 2: of where I'm at. So they start pulling and I'm
Speaker 2: trying to push myself, but like the sand.
Speaker 3: Where you think, and my pants are coming off. You
Speaker 3: were like, hey, they're gonna pull me right out of
Speaker 3: my clothes.
Speaker 2: No, these are my Adidas. They got real strong like drawstring.
Speaker 2: So I was I was good.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 2: I was happy with that.
Speaker 3: But you're gonna but this was a perfect chance, the
Speaker 3: opportunity to show her.
Speaker 1: Working with.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: Who knows, it wasn't running through my mind at all.
Speaker 3: So you're saved. You guys really like, hey, let's go
Speaker 3: get someoth'.
Speaker 2: We can't go that far yet because they start pulling
Speaker 2: and I'm not moving like I am pushing. I have
Speaker 2: one leg for you. I was able to free my
Speaker 2: right leg, but my left leg was just not there
Speaker 2: was nothing happening, So like, we need you to push
Speaker 2: off of this. I was like, do you realize the
Speaker 2: the quality of the sand that you're trying to tell
Speaker 2: me to push off of. It's like it's still not
Speaker 2: good right here. So I'm doing my best, but I'm
Speaker 2: like working with like not hard ground. And there's no
Speaker 2: video of it, no video, but there are some pictures.
Speaker 3: We have to go back because you could have been
Speaker 3: because there's this thing it's about criminals but still like
Speaker 3: The Dumbest Criminals or some show I think it's on
Speaker 3: Hulu or I don't know, one of those. But man,
Speaker 3: you could have like craziest rescues like it.
Speaker 2: Was that day. I think man on the beach. But no,
Speaker 2: So this squirrely little guy, he's one of the EMT's,
Speaker 2: he's there, he's one of the ones trying to help
Speaker 2: pull me. And so while they're pulling me, realizing I'm
Speaker 2: not going anywhere and I am trying to help get
Speaker 2: myself out, he jumps behind me into the danger zone,
Speaker 2: into the water, and I'm like, dude, don't do that.
Speaker 2: We'll both be in here.
Speaker 3: He's sinking it because he's skinny that it's not going
Speaker 3: to affect him.
Speaker 2: And he almost he got too close at one point
Speaker 2: and started sinking and then jumped out. But then at
Speaker 2: the same point he was just like off to the
Speaker 2: side a little bit and he started taking like his
Speaker 2: hands and scooping down and then getting like a lot
Speaker 2: of sand, and that's when my foot really started to move.
Speaker 2: But even then it was like suction in there, so
Speaker 2: it was hard. But once they got me out a
Speaker 2: little bit, he realized, all right, it's pushing time, kind
Speaker 2: of like you.
Speaker 3: Know when you're having a baby. Yeah, so you're pushing
Speaker 3: from your vagina.
Speaker 2: Well, they were pulling me. I'm the baby in this situation.
Speaker 2: So they're pulling me and he's pushing, and I think
Speaker 2: the lake in the sand is the mother. Is how
Speaker 2: it's working. Okay, So he had your booty in his hand,
Speaker 2: so there was multiple.
Speaker 3: Different grab moves that he used to try to help
Speaker 3: me out with the fireman carry.
Speaker 2: He he was definitely a wrestler in high school. I
Speaker 2: could tell that because at one point my legs were
Speaker 2: just slightly slightly spread. So he takes his arm in
Speaker 2: this scooping motion that goes right between my legs up
Speaker 2: front to my torso area and does this trying to
Speaker 2: push me that way, which is I think that's called
Speaker 2: like the right upper under hooked wrestling slip. I don't know,
Speaker 2: let's not talk about yeah, but anyway, and then another
Speaker 2: point he abandoned that and just had one hand on
Speaker 2: each cheek. Nice pushing, and so pregame. So I got
Speaker 2: to second base with this guy. Mustache. Yeah, no, this
Speaker 2: was a mustache. Mustache was first down the rope. Squirrely, dude,
Speaker 2: you get.
Speaker 3: It's microphones, that's how it works. Of course she's going
Speaker 3: to hold her own microphone. She's doing the real work
Speaker 3: right now. Yeah, but we got me out not even talking.
Speaker 3: She's like, I'm holding this for another thirty five minutes,
Speaker 3: and you've laughed a couple of times.
Speaker 2: That your name once.
Speaker 5: He's sharing a story.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to know, but it's you. But you have
Speaker 3: to to ask questions otherwise.
Speaker 5: I I mean, I'm just blown away. If I wouldn't
Speaker 5: have seen pictures, I would never believe this was happening.
Speaker 2: That's that's what I said. And I was telling the
Speaker 2: panic attack girl, you need to take pictures of this
Speaker 2: take a video, and she's like, I'm not taking a
Speaker 2: bit of while you're dying. It's not gonna I'm like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: people aren't. We're gonna be okay, we're gonna laugh about this,
Speaker 2: Like nobody's gonna believe us. So you need to, we
Speaker 2: need you know. So she did get a couple of pictures.
Speaker 2: That's when I had my phone. I was trying to
Speaker 2: get between nine one one calls. I put my phone
Speaker 2: up in the air and take a selfie and myself
Speaker 2: looking down into the sand. But yeah, so, I mean,
Speaker 2: I hope it works out for you with.
Speaker 4: You and the girl, but I have au So are
Speaker 4: we not liberty to say? Are you not at the
Speaker 4: stage where you share names?
Speaker 8: Is that what it is?
Speaker 7: Because Cory did that for me for a while.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I was gonna share names with you guys,
Speaker 2: but not on the podcast.
Speaker 7: No, it's okay, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 7: It's not weird because Corey did that when we started dating.
Speaker 3: I didn't have my mom, man, I had like boundaries down.
Speaker 3: If I would have said you name, oh, she would
Speaker 3: have Facebook stocked you sent you a message about how
Speaker 3: I'm a whole person and how I'm.
Speaker 7: I'm not judging.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe I mean because I just had my year, but
Speaker 3: I don't know it was I didn't, but I laid
Speaker 3: those boundary ghnres and I was like, Nope, I gotta
Speaker 3: do this.
Speaker 2: I didn't ask her if I could use her name
Speaker 2: in the recording. So that's why I'm well.
Speaker 7: Two said, girl, I don't feel bad about yourself. It's
Speaker 7: not about you.
Speaker 3: Look to Shika, it makes sense. We ain't say nothing
Speaker 3: bad about you, but we're just saying, like, if you
Speaker 3: want us to say your name in the future, you
Speaker 3: got to just let us know and it'll come out
Speaker 3: in the future.
Speaker 2: But she she did.
Speaker 5: Sometimes they assume all black people are from African America.
Speaker 3: No, well, I had nothing to do with nothing, Corey.
Speaker 3: It's the only way you can get her to talk
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: I know. Obviously she did exactly what I needed her
Speaker 2: to do, which was to keep the electronics that I
Speaker 2: were previously in my pocket safe.
Speaker 3: So she barely You got to call your ownself, man. Well,
Speaker 3: we both got through too much credit here. We both
Speaker 3: got through she got I don't think that is good
Speaker 3: enough for you. I don't think she and save your life.
Speaker 3: I think she freaks out.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. I'm like, because that's the thing that
Speaker 2: I had to deal with inside my own psyche. While
Speaker 2: I'm stuck in the quick sand hole, I can't come
Speaker 2: on her. Is that what you're thinking. No, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm the man here. I'm supposed to be able to
Speaker 2: protect and save and rescue. That's that's so nineteen three
Speaker 2: man wrong. And I'm like, and I'm stuck in a
Speaker 2: hole of sand and I can't move, like id I
Speaker 2: don't And then like the the life fest in the
Speaker 2: rope and standing around a bunch of grown men looking
Speaker 2: at me discussing on how they're going to get me
Speaker 2: out of there, and then being groped by another grown man,
Speaker 2: all because shooting I'll get you out of the hole,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: And we don't live in Spencer Dutton days.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like, what would Spencer Dutton do?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: From Yellowstone your favorite show? You know you or not?
Speaker 3: It's not even Yellowstone twenty three, thank you, it's the serie,
Speaker 3: but yeah, because he would have just like kicked that
Speaker 3: sand's ass, and he would have like probably shot everybody
Speaker 3: that went to help them and use their bodies to
Speaker 3: lift themselves out of there.
Speaker 2: There's more to the story. So we're crawling off the
Speaker 2: like I'm exhausted, as this is what I want pictures of. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's why we got to go back and redo it well.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I really should have had her
Speaker 2: gave me a picture of me in the ambulance because
Speaker 2: there's an ambulance waiting up there because they want to
Speaker 2: take vitals, they want to make sure I don't have
Speaker 2: hyperthermia and all of that. I'm now dragging ass because
Speaker 2: I fought for my life for fifteen minutes before we
Speaker 2: even called nine to one one, and then I had
Speaker 2: to help push my large posterior out of the sand,
Speaker 2: and so like my I'm like dragging my feet like
Speaker 2: I'm trying as hard as they can't get up there.
Speaker 2: And I finally get up there and they take my
Speaker 2: vitals and I was good. I wasn't in hypothermia, Like
Speaker 2: my body temperature was low, but still good.
Speaker 5: You're like chug along in your muck boots straight from
Speaker 5: the lake up to the ambulance.
Speaker 2: There was so much water in there too, but like
Speaker 2: there were I felt like I was I had the
Speaker 2: aquariums on my feet, like that's what it felt like,
Speaker 2: and uh so yeah. Anyway, so we're in there and
Speaker 2: they asked if I want to go to the hospital.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I'm just cold and wet, like it's fine,
Speaker 2: And so you gave me some of their blankets and
Speaker 2: the one guy comes over and I find out later
Speaker 2: because either the police chief or one of the lead guys,
Speaker 2: because they're talking. They were like, we wanted him to
Speaker 2: put warning signs down here. We knew something was going
Speaker 2: to happen. We've been waiting for something to happen. And
Speaker 2: then the big.
Speaker 7: Geese, thank you for sacrificing. Yeah, I've been calling it
Speaker 7: our community.
Speaker 2: I've been calling it community activism.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was searchy panic attack, called out that spot
Speaker 3: looks dangerous.
Speaker 2: No, that man, he just turned around. He tried to
Speaker 2: warn me, and my oblivious as just didn't didn't didn't
Speaker 2: know that's what she was talking about and.
Speaker 3: All that bullshit you were talking about the O'Brien's and
Speaker 3: the history and all the all the awfulness that they did.
Speaker 2: She's like, that's bullshit, Like I don't believe this at all. Side,
Speaker 2: Let's go back.
Speaker 5: To them sneaking through the freaking car wreck to get
Speaker 5: back there.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, this is the only makeout spot on
Speaker 3: Sundays I know about we going No.
Speaker 2: So the guy he comes over and they're trying to,
Speaker 2: you know, let her drive, you know, so you can
Speaker 2: just like be warm and whatever. I'm like, that's fine.
Speaker 2: She's already got the truck running then everything she had
Speaker 2: it warming up for me. And so he goes like, seriously,
Speaker 2: strip down to your skivvies and just wrap yourself in
Speaker 2: this towel. We'll wrap yourself in this towel, in these blankets, right,
Speaker 2: and let her drive you home and go straight there.
Speaker 2: Get a change of clothes because I had like a
Speaker 2: dry sweatshirt, but I didn't have anything for the lower part.
Speaker 2: And I said, I just rode home. Asked Nick, and
Speaker 2: it was diamond. I said, sir, there's a problem with
Speaker 2: stripping down to my skivvies. Today there are skivvy's. I
Speaker 2: had to go to this ATM earlier. You want to
Speaker 2: go listen to bumper Buddies. Yeah, bumper Buddies. That was
Speaker 2: last week or the week before. I was like a
Speaker 2: month ago. So you weren't wearing any underwear? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and he goes and he goes, oh, yeah, he goes,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, just wrap yourself in a towel. And
Speaker 2: I looked and I said, so you don't know her,
Speaker 2: even like this could be a bad idea. The doors
Speaker 2: open at this time and she's looking at me like,
Speaker 2: you don't tell Oh, it was great, but yeah. So
Speaker 2: then we got in the car and that's when I
Speaker 2: was like, I got to take my boots off. And
Speaker 2: everybody's like, no, don't just get in and go and go.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you guys don't understand what's happening inside these boots.
Speaker 2: They pulled my boots off, they grab them and it's
Speaker 2: just like fish falling out and stuff an anchor and
Speaker 2: there's just like so much Yeah, exactly, let me rock.
Speaker 7: Did you fight in there?
Speaker 8: There were?
Speaker 2: And that was the cool part is like it took
Speaker 2: me until yesterday to go look for me because I
Speaker 2: was put my rocks in my sweatshirt that I had
Speaker 2: on in there, and there was there was two handfuls
Speaker 2: of sand in both my pockets from just being that
Speaker 2: close in the surf. What I found my rocks, it would.
Speaker 3: Be what happened if like Grandma and Grandpa would have
Speaker 3: walked down there to have a little afternoon delight on
Speaker 3: the beach, you know, and they just happened to lay
Speaker 3: down in that spot, I know, right.
Speaker 2: But no, the the police chief guy, or not police,
Speaker 2: the fire chief guy. He goes there will be signs
Speaker 2: down here by tomorrow morning, because I guess it was
Speaker 2: an argument that was had with city council or whatever,
Speaker 2: and they're like, no, did you want to send them
Speaker 2: a picture? You could post your picture on the sign. Yeah,
Speaker 2: some them don't get mitchelled out here.
Speaker 4: They probably didn't want to put stuff that was going
Speaker 4: to discourage people from like making it look like their
Speaker 4: beaches were unsafe, even though it was just circumstantial.
Speaker 2: Well, and this this is a beach that a lot
Speaker 2: of people go to specific for rock hunting because there's
Speaker 2: certain rocks there that don't exist other places. So I
Speaker 2: think what was happening is like they didn't want to
Speaker 2: discourage people, like you said, to go there because it
Speaker 2: though just the fact that these Leland bluestones exist there
Speaker 2: brings people to Leland and then their economy and all.
Speaker 5: Of that, right, Okay, But all of a sudden then
Speaker 5: we have a one sink to death.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and well in the emergency services of the area
Speaker 2: had been wanting to warn people and was getting pushed
Speaker 2: backs from the city. This is what you think.
Speaker 3: They purposely dug a hole there, maybe and then like
Speaker 3: framed it in with concrete because we were watching what
Speaker 3: was that show showtime with the girls who kill everybody
Speaker 3: and eat them all? Yellow jacket Yeah, yellow Jackets. It
Speaker 3: was a very similar thing happened. They didn't fill in
Speaker 3: the sides of the concrete, but I'm sure this EMT
Speaker 3: team did or whatever, just so they could they could
Speaker 3: make their point. But yeah, they just dig a hole
Speaker 3: and then they put like, yeah spikes, and the chick
Speaker 3: fell through and she died. But they at least din't
Speaker 3: put spike in there. But you did fall in their
Speaker 3: concrete hole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Well either way, we drove away.
Speaker 2: We're happy. I kept my wet pants on until I
Speaker 2: got home.
Speaker 3: It'd have been better if you just would have been like, well,
Speaker 3: that's what we're doing, doctors orders.
Speaker 2: And then we had to talk about it when so cold.
Speaker 2: We had to talk on the way and I said,
Speaker 2: you're my girlfriend now, and she's like, you're my boyfriend now.
Speaker 2: And so that's where where that's where it is.
Speaker 7: Very endearing story.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 7: Congratulations you didn't have to do all that though, Mitchell,
Speaker 7: just amazing. Established your probably your way.
Speaker 2: We were going on an adventure, that's what we kept saying,
Speaker 2: and so it was. And I was like, well, buckle up,
Speaker 2: because this is how it works.
Speaker 4: So next time you say you want to go on
Speaker 4: an adventure, she's gonna be let's clarify what them.
Speaker 3: Let's say you take it out from pizza interlocking.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what we got for dinner. You didn't walk though,
Speaker 2: did you? No? Listen, No, I wasn't walking very well
Speaker 2: that every time, Like stairs were really hard, Like when
Speaker 2: I got the we got I got to that the
Speaker 2: ambulance and they're like just hop up in there. We're
Speaker 2: gonna take your vitals.
Speaker 1: And I was like.
Speaker 2: My feet felt like that cement blocks on. I'm like
Speaker 2: I was, they were exhausted. And so anytime like even
Speaker 2: just a couple of stairs up into her house, a
Speaker 2: couple of stairs in my house getting up into my truck,
Speaker 2: it was like bad. And then we got to the
Speaker 2: pizza place on our way back to her place, and
Speaker 2: I just like she's like, are you okay? Do you
Speaker 2: want me to go and side, I'm like, nah, I'm good.
Speaker 2: To open the door and I jump out of my
Speaker 2: truck and I just stopped for a second and I'm like,
Speaker 2: O gay there. And I tried to walk it off
Speaker 2: and play it off like I was fine. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: it's good, it's good, We're good. Yep. What do you
Speaker 2: think missed the smoker?
Speaker 5: We asked, Mitchell, what are you doing after work?
Speaker 2: Mitch? What are you doing after work? This same.
Speaker 3: Beautiful woman is taking me to the gym? Okay, I
Speaker 3: just drive you by it, like that's where you need
Speaker 3: to go. Nope, not at all working out.
Speaker 2: Huh. You know we're going to work all so, but
Speaker 2: this was on Saturday.
Speaker 5: But he's been doing that actually for like the last month,
Speaker 5: two month, three months with her.
Speaker 2: Well no, her and I have only went like two
Speaker 2: or three times within the last month, so we're gonna
Speaker 2: be going more regularly now. But this incident happened on
Speaker 2: Saturday evening. It's now Monday afternoon, so I haven't been
Speaker 2: able to walk off a lot of the soreness.
Speaker 3: So we can create a warning sign with your picture
