Mitch, you got the podcast pod 22 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.959 mic road pod mic. Yeah. So if you're ever wondering, 23 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.239 like what MIC's are they using? These sounds so good 24 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.480 all of them's. That's what we do. We're not just 25 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.200 sticking with one brand. Well, this is my brand, Electro Voice, 26 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:24.079 the R twenty Sure is a good microphone. I guess 27 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.799 for what it is. I think I think that that's 28 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.439 that's good. Joe Rogan uses it, so it must be great, 29 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:36.000 right m h yeah, yeah, especially for Joe Rogan. Oh 30 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.000 just saying, you know, like three four hundred bucks for 31 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.400 him like nothing. I was, you don't check his account 32 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.560 two days before paid and go, I got seventy six 33 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.640 bucks in there. That's what I did. 34 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.719 Earlier, I talked to a Twitch streamer about microphones and 35 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.280 he straight up said that those two, the Sure and 36 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.359 the whatever that one is, the E four thousand or. 37 00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.719 Whateverthing like that. 38 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.280 Yeah, he said, those are the benchmarks. Those are like 39 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.599 what everybody uses. If you ask like what microphones everybody using, 40 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.759 they always bring those two up. And I was like, 41 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.439 why I use pod mics? And he goes, those are 42 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.439 They're solid microphones and they're getting more more popular, and 43 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.000 I was like, I like it obviously, Yep. 44 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.800 They're a good mic man and they are solid and 45 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.000 that Mike, I don't know if that's the one or 46 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:24.719 the other one. 47 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:26.000 But I can't tell anymore. 48 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.759 You bought those off the black market, yes, and you 49 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.319 got a good deal on them. It was like a 50 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.560 bundle deal, if I remember correctly, and one of them 51 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.479 all of a sudden just sound like crap, didn't work. 52 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.240 And I kept saying Mitchell, like, your mic sucks. What 53 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.400 was going on? What setting are you using? What are 54 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.000 you doing? You're like nothing, man, I'm like, it doesn't 55 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.800 sound right, dude, it just doesn't. Then Marnie's listening to 56 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.400 the car and we're like both and she's like, his 57 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.560 mic doesn't sound right. I'm like, I know. I told them, 58 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.719 told them it doesn't sound right. And then you had 59 00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.120 a different one that you swapped it out and guess what, 60 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.879 it sounds perfect. I was like, okay, something's wrong with 61 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.599 that microphone. It was like three years out of warranty. 62 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.479 Was it that far? I thought it was a couple 63 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:06.960 of months. 64 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.319 No, it was at least two years. It might be exaggerating. 65 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.319 I like to do that from time to time, all 66 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.000 the time. From time to time, I do exaggerate. But 67 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.280 it was at least two years out of warranty. And 68 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.199 they were like, yeah, sor right, it's out of warranty. 69 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.840 And I was like, you know, I thought you'd stand 70 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.120 behind your product and did this whole thing. And they're like, yeah, 71 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:26.960 we told you we would, like, did you not read 72 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.599 the rest of the email? I was like, oh no, 73 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.080 I didn't because I like to react because I want 74 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.840 to fire off. Because I had this ready to go 75 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.120 and we sent it in. I think you had to 76 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.000 pay for it to be shipped off, maybe a couple 77 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.759 of hundred dollars at ups I think. 78 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.599 Charge it was like twenty one dollars. 79 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.159 Yeah, but they shipped us back a new one. Are 80 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.039 you a new one? And so that worked out pretty good. 81 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.400 So yeah, road they do stand behind their products even 82 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.719 when they're out of warranty sometimes. 83 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.159 Well, Nake, you said if you were a manufacturer of 84 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.680 a microphone, you would want to know what happen. Yeah, 85 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:06.639 and so you know a good microphone, microph micro fact 86 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.000 whoa manufacturer? Yeah, thanks, Justin You're always so good with 87 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:16.680 words for me. Wants to see what's happening in their microphones, 88 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.040 and so I think that's one of the reasons they 89 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:19.879 did it. But it definitely made me happy. 90 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:22.560 Yeah, because it's not like you can't run that over 91 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.319 with it. And well, it probably wouldn't work if you 92 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.839 took like a panzer tank or whatever they got from 93 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.519 the Germans. Are probably would crush it. But if you 94 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.240 have one of the little tigers that America had, you'd 95 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.839 probably run that baby over and be fine. 96 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:35.800 They're hardy. 97 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.120 Yeah, they're very cute. Yeah, and it's like if you 98 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.399 drop it, it's like, okay, it's not doing anything. And 99 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.480 it was never dropped. So that was the weird part 100 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.879 of it. Just it stopped working by just sitting. 101 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.120 You just you made me wonder if you dropped it 102 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.279 before I got it. I never dropped that mic because 103 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.040 I never I never have so and yeah, it was 104 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.920 just one of those things man. So yeah, sure, it's 105 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.079 not the mic we're talking about. We're talking about the rope. 106 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.920 They do stand behind their product. Sure, I don't know. 107 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.519 Justin you bought like a knockoff shuret from Japan. 108 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.199 Good luck. 109 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.480 Yeah, it's still a Sure microphone. 110 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.800 That's what it says on it. That's all they did 111 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.360 was they probably found some that Sure was sending back, 112 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.560 took the little Sure thing off or put a little 113 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.920 stickers on them, and they're like, all right, send it out. 114 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.199 It works. Sixty eight dollars, you know. Yeah that sounds good, 115 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.800 sounds like and technology with microphones, you know, it's is 116 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.720 what it is. But if you're starting out doing a podcast, 117 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.959 get you a thirty dollars mic if you need it 118 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.800 and just hit record. Man starting out, just do it. 119 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.560 But if you got some funds, then get the good 120 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.759 stuff because're gonna nicol and die yourself to death like 121 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.959 I did, you know, but that's all I could afford. 122 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:53.360 You know. 123 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.560 I moved up to the blue microphones, the blue Gyetty 124 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.879 had those at first, well not at first. Those are 125 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.879 like cool. Now we're going somewhere for me in ninety 126 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.000 nine down the microphone big time in it and now 127 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.079 things work out different. But yeah, just do them though. 128 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.480 If you're starting the pockets, just do them. So anyway, 129 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.279 we're not going to do Mike talk. That was not 130 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.920 on our run sheet today, but that's what happens when 131 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:18.800 Winfield shows up. 132 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:20.040 Do we even have a run sheet? 133 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.759 Yes, I told you it, of course we do. Yeah, 134 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:25.199 we're going to talk about pay day and we're going 135 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.319 to open the letter which order do you guys want 136 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.399 us to go in here. 137 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:32.480 Getting paid? 138 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.600 Yeah, let's talk about pay da all right. I kind 139 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.879 of hinted to the seventy six dollars of my account. 140 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.120 But you remember, like back in the day, we used 141 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:42.920 to be so good at this, you know, And this 142 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.759 is all adlexs across the board, Like we know exactly 143 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.160 how much we have in our bank account yep, to 144 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.319 the penny how much we don't, yeah, because we need it, 145 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.839 you know, Okay, wednsayd our pity is Wednesday. Okay, so 146 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.319 we got two days, so we're gonna ration it out, 147 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.399 Like how can I get my because alcohol is number 148 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.639 one thing for me back in the day, That's what 149 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.000 I needed. I needed my alcohol. I needed my half gallon. 150 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.720 Could maybe get away with the fifth, but I wouldn't 151 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.959 want to even mess around with the pint, so I 152 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:14.480 would either not eat for the night. I would take 153 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:19.839 back CDs or DVDs to sell them, look around for 154 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.000 more change, just hoping i'd find some try to sell 155 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.160 something to a coworker. Hey, guys, what's up? 156 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:29.560 Now? 157 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.480 We know that's where I get that from. But now seriously, 158 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.560 like I would find a way to make sure that 159 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.519 I had enough of those two days, and an option 160 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.839 was not to not drink. That was not an option, 161 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.279 Like I would lose my mind if I didn't if 162 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.879 I didn't drink, if I didn't have some alcohol like that, 163 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.800 They didn't pop in my head, well maybe you shouldn't 164 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.279 drink tonight. Nope, that wasn't an option. And the way 165 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.560 we live now, you know, we were kind of joking 166 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.480 about how much I had in my bank count, but 167 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.319 it was one of those things where I didn't know. 168 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:08.759 I really didn't. 169 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.079 You know. 170 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:10.959 First I thought I had like a hundred bucks. I 171 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.279 thought I was rich, Like, yeah, I got a hundi 172 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:14.480 in there, and I was like, oh no, because I 173 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.040 bought them one of them things the other day and 174 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.759 I was like, no, that's probably under one hundred. But 175 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:20.879 to not know, I mean that that's a good feeling, 176 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.439 it really is. And to not have to think, oh 177 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.079 my god, how am I going to live tonight without 178 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.720 my alcohol? Oh my god? You knows. There's so many 179 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.519 things that go into it with someone who's early on. Man, 180 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:37.120 it's it's it's a struggle, you know, to to get payday, 181 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:38.440 to get the payday. Sometimes. 182 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:44.039 I still live that way sometimes when I start buying. 183 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.240 This goes back into the talk we were just having 184 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.080 my microphones, start buying microphones and podcasting stuff. Yeah, I'll 185 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.399 get to three four days before payday, I'll be like, 186 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.120 my damn counting them pennies. But it's not for alcohol anymore. 187 00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:01.440 It's for investments into my life, you know. So it 188 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.039 feels better. 189 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.120 Yeah, at least you can look around. But you're not 190 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.799 going to die tonight either. You're not well. I don't 191 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.279 know that. You're not gonna hope you don't die tonight, 192 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.759 thank you. But you're not like feeni like, oh my god, 193 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.320 I got did there's something that I got to go 194 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.000 out and get, you know, like I have to have 195 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.720 this to live. You know, you're not going through that. 196 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.200 You're just like, oh, I just spent all my money 197 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.519 and I'm broken and it sucks. But you know, you 198 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.840 still have food, you still have gas to get to work. 199 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:32.320 I hope we're pushing it come Wednesday, Yeah, boss man, 200 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.080 I ain't got gas when it come to work. Yeah, Saturday, 201 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.639 the station right around from my house. I just worried 202 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:42.000 about Tuesday. You can you tell me some money real quick. 203 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.519 He's got three more trips. He's got three more trips 204 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.120 home today and home back tomorrow and back home. 205 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:53.919 That's it man, right, it is about right there. But 206 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.559 I got my microphones and my cords and my boards 207 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.919 and all that, you know. Yeah, to be busy. 208 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:04.519 Work from home. No, but just that's the difference, you know, 209 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.000 and being in recovery and being where we're at today 210 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.600 is we don't have to go through that anymore. And 211 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:14.279 that's why some people don't understand that aspect of it. 212 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.799 But it shouldn't surprise a lot of people because that's 213 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.840 the number one thing on our brain, you know. So 214 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.759 cut some people some like, oh, you don't have any 215 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.639 money because you're drinking it? Yep, sure am. You caught me, 216 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.840 you know, like a lot of times running trying to 217 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.879 hide it, like no, not trying on and. 218 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.039 You know, and that's another part that people in early 219 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.559 recovery struggle with two after getting a job, because you 220 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.960 realize how much money you spent on your drug of choice, 221 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.279 because when you get paid, you're like, why I paid 222 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.600 all my bills and I have all this money left over? 223 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.840 Like what do I do with myself? Because one, we're 224 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.840 not trying to chase a bag, we're not chasing a 225 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.240 bottle to empty no more. Like we don't have those 226 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.840 worries no more. And people in early recovery get caught 227 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.240 in that trap. Well, I just have over abundance of money, 228 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.440 and I thought I deserved it. Yeah, you know, and 229 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.279 it happens. 230 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.519 Yeah. First time happened to me where I was like, 231 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.080 oh I got some monies was when I was running 232 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.240 the Silber living home with Ryan and I needed to 233 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.440 buy new tires for my vehicle, and I had enough 234 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.480 in there to buy all four new tires. I took 235 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.000 advantage of like a Thanksgiving Day sale. But still it 236 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:34.320 was like, hmm, like look at me, all right, Yeah, I. 237 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.440 Remember my second paycheck I ever got. I think I 238 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.159 donated some money to seventeen because I was like, well, 239 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.600 what else am I going to do with it? 240 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.879 Mitch used to do that, So you guys told me 241 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.240 to stop. I never told you to stop. 242 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.279 You and Marty said it here when you're working here, now, 243 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.840 why would you do that? 244 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:53.720 Yeah? 245 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.120 And I was like, well, I didn't like my church 246 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.080 at the time and I was trying to tie so 247 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.200 I was like, I'm going to give my money to 248 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.200 Jesus' work. I see this Winfield guy over here doing 249 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.039 Jesus' work, Let's give it to him. 250 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:06.480 Yeah. 251 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.200 And you guys like, we don't watch some monies, Yeah 252 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.200 we don't. Well, my thing was. 253 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.799 I was just thankful that I even got a ride 254 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.279 to sober living after treatment because I didn't have anybody. 255 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.879 You did not, No, I didn't you know that, and 256 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.679 you were just like, well, I'll get you there. It 257 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.080 doesn't matter. I'll still take you justin. Because you see 258 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.360 my progress from entering into treatment just fresh out of 259 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.320 jail to want and still hang out with all the 260 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:38.960 hoodlums and stuff, to actually waking up. I'd say probably 261 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.200 around week five, week six is when it really happened 262 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:44.559 when I was like, well, no, I really need to 263 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:52.279 do this for myself and take accountability for my own actions. 264 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:59.399 Cricket, cricket, cricket. Obviously, no, those great justin thank you 265 00:12:59.399 --> 00:12:59.960 for sharing that. 266 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.480 Yeah, but he didn't have anybody and we gave him 267 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.480 a ride. And now, like the way it works somebody 268 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.480 in your situation, Like if you go through there today, 269 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:11.919 I think if you'd call us for a ride, we'd 270 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.360 be like, mmmm, what we tell you justin sure? Oh okay, 271 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:23.399 we tell him sure who you funded through again? Oh okay, yeah, 272 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.759 we got you. You're right, big shot at n Murray 273 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.759 And they help us with that and trying providing the 274 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.080 transportation for people to and from treatment. They have no 275 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:32.919 other way to get there. Another way to get home. No, 276 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.440 the way to get it. Sober living, we do that. 277 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.000 It's detrimental. Yeah, nobody else in the state be doing that. 278 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.879 And it's a recovery community organization we do that. Is 279 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:44.799 it fun sometimes? 280 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.559 Yeah? Is it scary sometimes? 281 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.480 Sometimes that makes them fun. 282 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:51.519 You never know what you're gonna get. It's like a 283 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.639 cracker jack box, it's you know. But it also it 284 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.279 keeps me humble too, because I was one of those people. 285 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.120 I mean, I am one of those people, but I 286 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.720 was acting that way before, and so it just reminds 287 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.840 me like what I have now, what I have to lose, 288 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:10.679 you know, And so it's I enjoy it for that, 289 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.519 but not even that. I mean, that's the selfish part 290 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.639 of it. You get to actually help these people use 291 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.480 your lived experience. That's what being a pure recovery coach 292 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:22.039 is all about. And you know it, it's good every time, 293 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.200 even if it's bad, it's good. 294 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:29.720 Yeah, you know, it really is. Sometimes some jael jails 295 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:34.399 smell different, and those aren't always the best. But no, 296 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.879 I can't blame them. They were in jail. 297 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.120 Well, I don't think it's so much them as a person, 298 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.679 or it's probably their clothes that they wore in there 299 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:44.639 six months ago. 300 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.240 That stink. 301 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.480 I wonder if the jail puts them in like just 302 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.159 a stinky locker on purpose. 303 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.120 Well, all your stuff gets put in the bag and 304 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:59.840 gets hung up in a closet everybody else's. 305 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.039 They have like a fart box. They just keep farting 306 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.159 in it, so everybody's closing there. 307 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.080 And then some. 308 00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:19.480 Kindanies use totes obviously, So we had a situation happened. 309 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.559 You had a situation happened. It's been at least a 310 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.519 week now, right, it's been like two weeks. 311 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:33.840 You took vacation last week, your partial vacation. Yeah, there's 312 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.679 no partial vacation about it. 313 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.840 It's only partial week. 314 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.679 So what happened was, and we'll get to now we're 315 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.720 getting into the letter. So what what happened was I 316 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.799 went to see our friend. I think I had to 317 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:53.159 do a ride actually take somebody from jail to courthouse. 318 00:15:53.200 --> 00:16:01.240 And then so we're living yep and no treatment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 319 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.320 there you go, thanks Justin. Can't leave out the details, 320 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:10.440 it's important the story. So then on the way back, 321 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:17.159 our friends in Pataski Community Recovery Alliance, they got a 322 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.720 new space and stuff, and I was like, I want 323 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.159 to see it. They're a recovery community organization like we are, 324 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:23.759 so I was like, I want to see it. So 325 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.679 Caitlin was like, sure, come on by, here's the address. 326 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.360 I'm like cool. While I roll up in there, there's 327 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.759 no parking and I'm in Pataski. I used to have 328 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.200 a little drawer in my Ford Fusion and I kept 329 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.879 changing there and I call that my Potaski money because 330 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.200 you cannot drive anywhere in Potaski. Well, you can drive anywhere, 331 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.559 but you're trying to park anywhere admire. I'm surprised they 332 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.840 don't have and they're like, oh shit, we didn't think 333 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.519 about that. Hopefully they're not listening because they will then 334 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.960 put in the little uh meters where you got to 335 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.919 feed the meter at the park and I'm not trying 336 00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.840 to do none of that because I don't even have 337 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.279 my change thing, So what am I supposed to do? 338 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:04.880 So I roll up in there and I'm like, Caitlyn, 339 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.880 where you at. She's late, so I just park and 340 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.160 there wasn't really a parking spot there. There was no 341 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.960 lines because there are other ones behind this business and 342 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:15.920 don't park here. We'll tell you blah blah blah, this 343 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:20.839 for this business only, okay whatever, And so I just 344 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.480 parked next to this other guy and there was no 345 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.200 lines there, but you could still go around, so I 346 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.759 thought that it was a good spot free parking. 347 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:28.519 Like. 348 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.960 So we're talking, we're talking, and then the meter lady 349 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.079 comes by and she starts writing people tickets and I'm like, suckers. 350 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.279 And then Caitlin's like, oh, hold on, we're going to 351 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.680 try to put some change in it. It's like, man, 352 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.880 I don't miss this life. And then we're talking and 353 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:50.799 she's like, ohait is that your car. I was like, yeah, 354 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.319 it's over there. While I say oh oh, I look 355 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.319 over and there's this lady like walking away from it, 356 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.559 and I watched her walk up the block and I 357 00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:04.599 didn't know what was going on. Well, I get in 358 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.839 my car to leave and I see this note on 359 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.559 it and I was in a pretty good mood, so 360 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.680 I feel like reading it. So I was like, whatever 361 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.400 it says is probably bad, and I figure I will 362 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:16.839 take it to work. And it was funny because it 363 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.119 was raining on the way back.
