I can't talk. 18 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.719 I'm Corey Smoker's vehn. 19 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:50.600 A minute, I guess you know. 20 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.320 Oh, last one we did, it was I'm still forty 21 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.240 seven years old, but it was it was like an, 22 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.399 I think we missed April, didn't he we did? We 23 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.759 did miss April, and it's we're barely making in May. 24 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:05.719 Well. I mean we did sit down to do two 25 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.280 different ones we did didn't work out. 26 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.719 Yeah, and it was about kratom too. 27 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:10.359 One of them was because I kind of wanted to 28 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.200 get into that because there's a lawmaker in Michigan that 29 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.879 was like, hey, let's ban and criminalize it, and I 30 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.319 don't know, it was just like, hey, hold on, let's 31 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.359 talk about this kind of thing, Like, don't be starting 32 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.239 to do that stuff without talking to people who know 33 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.640 what's going on. And it's like in the Michigan Senate now, 34 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:28.239 I think, but it looks like they kind of have 35 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.959 another version of it, and I think they kind of 36 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.719 adapted it to where it should be, so I don't 37 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.319 really need to really do much more. So that was 38 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:36.959 kind of like one of my things too, is like, well, 39 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.560 I don't want to go out here and say all 40 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.079 this stuff and it doesn't even matter. Yeah, you know, 41 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.879 there's a lot of that going on right now in 42 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.359 the world where people are posting this and posting that. 43 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.959 And I don't know if you know this or not. 44 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.200 I know you know this, Corey, but if someone's listening, 45 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.079 but you don't change your community by posting things on Facebook. 46 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.280 Now you can post like videos of you doing good 47 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.239 shit and post it on Facebook and you can maybe 48 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.120 change somebody. They're a Indian or maybe give them an 49 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.120 idea to help their community or do some of their kids. 50 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.959 You know. But like saying Trump did this or Trump 51 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.439 sucks or whatever, it doesn't do anything, you know, it 52 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.599 really doesn't. I am a judge of character. I like 53 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:15.639 to judge people on character. I don't like Trump's character. 54 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.759 I just don't like him as a person. Is he 55 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.800 a good president? I don't know. I don't like to 56 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:22.840 hear it. Which you turn on a TV show that 57 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.120 you don't like. No, if you hate, what's the TV 58 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:26.719 show you hate? 59 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.120 Corey? 60 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:29.520 The Office? 61 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:30.120 The Office? 62 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.840 So if The Office was playing twenty four to seven, 63 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.520 you would avoid that room right where the TV was playing, Like, 64 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:35.879 I don't want to hear it, don't want to see it. 65 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.680 That's what Trump does to me. So I try to 66 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.360 stay off Facebook. I try to stay off off of 67 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.400 the news, and which is bad, you know. And it's 68 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.159 not just the Trump people. I hate the other people too. 69 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.560 I hate it because they're still talking about the person 70 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.639 I hate. So it's like, oh, I'm watching a show 71 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.000 on the Office. Oh, then you can't even watch the 72 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.599 other show because they're talking about how much they hate 73 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.000 the Office, and you just want to throw stuff and 74 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.960 go can I just just walk away? And so I 75 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.560 wrote a song about It's called a Where. It's a 76 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.840 very good song. Actually I'm like a lie. It's really good. 77 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.240 But like you just have to be aware of yourself. 78 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.039 And I think that's what people get lost in nowadays. 79 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.879 They get so caught up. It's easy to do. Pick 80 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.639 up your phone, go on Facebook. You'll get mad in 81 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.240 two seconds, yep. And that's what they want. And that's 82 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.000 and that's not the real world is. Look at it, man, 83 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.840 when you when the record light goes off, people go normal. 84 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.840 When you go to the story, you see people walk 85 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.199 around throwing ship Trump Trump, No, because it's it's on Facebook, 86 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.840 it's on social media. It's the internet world. It's it's 87 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.520 not it's not a real world people live in. You know, 88 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.680 you shouldn't base people on on what this is. That 89 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.360 it's just it is it is, and that's what it is, 90 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:36.599 and move on with your life. 91 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.520 I can't control it. Prison Trump does today. 92 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:39.560 Me neither. 93 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.120 Well, yeah, I know we got to fix a lot 94 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.560 of shit when he's done, but we've had to fix 95 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.599 a lost ship for a long time. So you can't 96 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.039 blame it all on him. You can't blame it all 97 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.039 on Biden. It's a whole system that's just messed up. 98 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.759 In my opinion, Yeah, it's a piss it's a it's 99 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.560 a piss now. It's a system that's based on money 100 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.400 and greed. And if they would really look at it 101 00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.319 and look at us, like we're taxpayers like that, like 102 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.400 they should look at us, they would understand that they're 103 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.360 actually losing money, you know, by allowing things to happen 104 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.360 that hurt people and hurt people's health, and they're losing trillions. 105 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.280 So if somebody is screaming from the roof, hey lost market, 106 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.560 does country grider, then look at the real facts of 107 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.879 how you can make this country greed again. Because making 108 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.519 this country gret again for who? That's a question? You know, 109 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.920 wouldn't it be beneficial if we put every poverty person 110 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.439 through college free. You go to college here, you go free. 111 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.240 Don't worry about it because then people, oh, you can't 112 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.480 just do them? Why you kids can go too? Everybody 113 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:42.120 goes free because that would help because then everybody's educated, 114 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.680 right or is that what we don't want? Because once 115 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.600 everybody becomes educated, they get better jobs, they make more money, 116 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.360 they pay more taxes. Right, Oh, because they save my 117 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.560 life to say to Michigan and medicator whoever, you know, 118 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.399 by allowing me, which I had to fight for because 119 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.000 they kept telling me I couldn't go to treatment. So 120 00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:59.959 you have to fight your way through it. It's not 121 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.600 as easy as people think, Oh, you want to go 122 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.000 to treatment. You got a problem, Oh, just call the 123 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:07.040 number and go aha, try that today, Try it. You 124 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.879 just try that and see how easy that is for you. 125 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.000 But anyway, the money that I paid in taxes since then, 126 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.240 they've paid for the treatments over and over and over, 127 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.600 you know, Like that's good. That's how it's supposed to work. 128 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.160 And now I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. 129 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.879 But there's people out there that are dying left and right, 130 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.439 and there are people out there that still want to 131 00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:28.600 keep this like a secret that you know, these drugs 132 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.639 are bad, and I'm talking about alcohol is one of 133 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.199 them too, you know, like alcohol is the major one. 134 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.759 Like it's bad. Now, Am I saying ban it? 135 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.759 No? But I do question when they say, well, we 136 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.519 try a prohibition that didn't work. Well, slow the tape. 137 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:42.600 I wasn't there who said it didn't work? 138 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:43.199 Was it? 139 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.720 The next administration that came in talking about, look at 140 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.519 the money we're losing. Oh, el Capone was running shit, 141 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.639 killing people. Okay, that's happening right now. Like we could 142 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.439 easily be like, hey, let's legalize fitanol. Look at all 143 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.319 this crime going on, Look at all this organized crime. 144 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.360 Let's legalize it. It's not working. 145 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.720 No, No, I'm I'm willing to bet money that I 146 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.879 don't have, but I bet at all that. It was 147 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.240 more the other that the administration came in said, oh 148 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.600 my god, we are losing billions of dollars, We're gonna 149 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.160 go ahead and legalize that, because well, we're politicians and 150 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.839 these people are paying us even probably more money personally, 151 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.480 whatever president, whatever regime was going on at that time. 152 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.360 I don't have that at the ready. Sorry, didn't really 153 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.079 think we're going to talk about the topic today. And 154 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.240 I'm too lazy to stop the podcast and look it up. 155 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.959 You can do that on your own. But I'm just 156 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.399 saying though, like I don't trust it and it needs 157 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.920 to change so and it will during my lifetime. And 158 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.519 that's not like a shot on any of it. That's 159 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.439 not a message to legislation. That's just like message to communities. Like, 160 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.720 we have to do it. I'm not doing it. I 161 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.839 can't do it on my own. We have to put 162 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.600 our foot down and be like, look, you got tobacco, 163 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.199 you got tobacco with it, you got opioids. Talking about 164 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.360 the accountability stuff, you know, hey, hold people accountable, But yeah, 165 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.360 alcohol is dancing around on every big game, every big event. 166 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.000 Hey to super Bowl twenty eight, brought to you or I. 167 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.079 Guess to be whatever, seventy two, shit whatever it is now. 168 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.839 Super Bowl blah blah blah, brought to you by crack Cocaine. 169 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.839 Get some at you local store, you know, like they 170 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.399 wouldn't do that. Here's some fetanyl. Hey, get your best 171 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.800 veetanoyl down. Here is Ventanyl's keep you nice and skinny. 172 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.720 But it sure is sponsored by bush Light and bud 173 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:27.720 Light and Mille. 174 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.759 Isn't that funny? But yeah, that's that's that's my advice. 175 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.399 That's that's what almost killed me. That's my that's that's 176 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.160 taunting me every day. And that's the worst one. And 177 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.199 they know it. But yet they're walking around, dance around, 178 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.480 And that's what I'm saying, Like we all know, you know, 179 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.560 I know my mom knows. Alcohol is dangerous it can be. 180 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.360 And again we had this conversation earlier. Is not really 181 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:48.279 alcohol's fault. 182 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.079 It's good. You and I. We loved it. 183 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.279 And that's the problem is that it is good and 184 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.800 it is addicting, and they know that it causes cancer. 185 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:57.399 They know that. 186 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.720 So when I reach for that and nobody tells me 187 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.720 it cast cancer. They tell me it's addictive. But if 188 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.959 I drink responsible, I'm good. So I was not drink, 189 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.639 drinking and driving all that much, and I was drinking 190 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.759 responsibil as I could, so I didn't think I had 191 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:09.199 a problem. 192 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.439 And then my liver fails. 193 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:12.959 But it says drink responsibly. 194 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.680 What does that mean that's what I was doing. I 195 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.360 don't know. I followed the directions. 196 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.000 Now I have a problem, and I am an alcoholic 197 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.120 and now these things are bad and I don't want 198 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.720 to be that, you know, and so like it puts 199 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.639 you in this whole little thing. 200 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.399 But if we just faced it as it is what 201 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:27.920 it is. 202 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.240 And stopped, I mean, alcohol companies can pay ten billion 203 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.159 dollars every year to whoever they want, and if they 204 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.279 want to do that to politicians, okay, But and we 205 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.480 can vote them out and they'll just pay somebody else. 206 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.399 But there has to be a time where we put 207 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:45.120 a politician in there that doesn't take that money, or 208 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.240 we just hit them like again, hit them on the 209 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.360 other side of it, you know them, have them paid 210 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.360 out because they do owe it to this country and 211 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.759 the community to help the people that do suffer from 212 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.559 you know, using their product. And they say the wrong way, 213 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.279 but it doesn't matter. You've got tobacco, you've hit them 214 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.320 with it. You fit opioids. Now it's time for alcohol. 215 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.480 I'm sorry. That's just the way it is. Because last 216 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.120 time I checked, there's still beds, there's still people can't 217 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.440 get into treatment centers. That means we need more treatment centers, 218 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:15.840 we need more access to them, we need more recover 219 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.399 We just need more stuff. Quit making us beg for this. 220 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.200 We are out there doing the work in the community 221 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.919 that nobody else is doing, nobody wants to do, and 222 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:23.360 we're doing it. 223 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:26.000 We're saving your kids, We're helping your people too. It 224 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:26.759 will help anybody. 225 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.360 I don't care if you make a million dollars, you 226 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.440 make zero, you be living on the streets or living 227 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.480 on a house boat, don't care. You need some help. 228 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.720 We're going to help you. Yeah, because that's what it's about. 229 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.600 We I don't care if you're black, white, Native, it 230 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:37.240 doesn't matter. 231 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.320 And we try our bust to remove all the barriers 232 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.799 to get them, get whoever. 233 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.759 And it's still not enough, and we still are sitting 234 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.000 here with our hands out baging. And then it's like, 235 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.080 we're totally going to hire people, but you can't have 236 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.120 a computer to work on, you know, that's essentially what 237 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.559 they're saying. They're not saying that, but essentially they are 238 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.960 saying that in different aspects of what we do. It's like, well, 239 00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.360 you can have a computer, but you can't print what. Well, 240 00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.799 how are we supposed to do all this work and 241 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:02.840 get all these reports done? 242 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:03.360 Yeah? 243 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.399 I don't know what you don't know, you know, it's 244 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.120 it's very very confusing, and we're working the best we can, 245 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.960 you know, within the parameters that we are, you know, 246 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.000 because you can't just like I said, post on Facebook 247 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.720 and change things. You know, it takes work, it takes time, 248 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.279 but it takes people willing to do it. 249 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.600 Yeah, and also too, it just shows something that you know, no, 250 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.399 look at all the challenges I mean that we've that 251 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.639 two seventeen recovery has faced since even I've been here 252 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.960 and I know before that just the things that you've 253 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.200 had to conquer and overcome just to get to having 254 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.440 the recovery center and being here and doing the transportation 255 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:47.039 at the volume that you were, And you know, I 256 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.360 think it just still says something for that, you know, 257 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.840 we continue to just keep showing up every day and 258 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.120 doing what we can with what we're handed. 259 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.519 Yeah, that's all you can do, you know, And there's 260 00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:59.600 so many questions and. 261 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.360 Yeah, I know, but you know what, I still continue 262 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.240 to just show up, be here and try to help 263 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:09.080 to help. 264 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:09.919 The next individual. 265 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.240 And it's kind of just like what I say about 266 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.480 going to some of these outings for two seventeen. If 267 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.799 I at least talk to one person today, you know what, 268 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.720 that's making a difference today. If I'm at least telling 269 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:30.000 someone one person knew about two seventeen recovery today, that's 270 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.240 the best that we can do. 271 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.559 Yeah, sometimes and sometimes there's a lot we can do, 272 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.120 But again, it all kind of comes back to, you know, 273 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.840 what tools are we giving and what can we do 274 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.559 because you know, as well as I, if we had 275 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.440 four people that could take people to them from Truman 276 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.279 right now, they would be out taking people to them 277 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.919 from Truman right now. Yes, and hopefully, like I said, 278 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.240 hopefully some things will work out for us. We have, 279 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.080 like again, we've been working behind the scenes, doing what 280 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.480 we're supposed to be doing and. 281 00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.360 Trying to go in the right path. 282 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.600 But at the same time, you know, there's got to 283 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.600 be some give and other people in the communities need 284 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.039 to say this stuff too, not just me. I can't 285 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.080 just get on a podcast and say it again. I 286 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:12.000 started this going on saying post on Facebook doesn't change anything. 287 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.120 You know this me, even doing this episode is not 288 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.080 going to change anything. It's going to take people in action. 289 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.879 You can hear this episode, Oh, turn it off, take 290 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.679 a shower, just forget about it and go on about 291 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.879 your day, which most people probably will.

And those 300 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.320 are those are things that matter in your community, So 301 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.919 kind of look at it that way.

And you know, again, I'm not 366 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.279 trying to make anybody get in recovery, especially my friends, 367 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.639 but I do want them all to have this life. 368 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.519 And if they're not living it, and I hear them 369 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.840 and I hear it in their voice, you know, and 370 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:47.960 it's just like I hope they can get it. But 371 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.480 it is a great life and things that I once 372 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.480 thought were impossible things that I have never thought I 373 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.000 could do, write a movie, make a soundtrack to it, 374 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:01.840 like just crazy stuff. It's start a nonprofit, help people 375 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:09.279 get to treatment. I think there's other stuff in there too, father, husband, husband, be. 376 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.360 A boss, be a boss. 377 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.679 Yeah that selling a home and buying a home, yeah, 378 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.399 with a yard for your kids. 379 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.159 I really can't wait to make the movie though. I'm 380 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:28.080 really excited about that. It's getting close to where I 381 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.279 don't want to do one more polish of the script yet, 382 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.000 but like I think I have to go through one 383 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.919 more time and just claimp the action lines. But then 384 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.840 but like it's I'm confident now where it is to 385 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.440 like start building a pitch deck and start, you know, 386 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:47.840 finding the director of photography for it, and moving to 387 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.159 like really making this thing.
