Broadcasting live from the Addiction Treatment Services Third Annual Beach Volleyball Tournament with Mitchell O'Brien, Justin Burke, Kim Hopkins, Kim Ryan, Marnie Winfield, and your host Corey Winfield. Yes, hanging out at the tournament. ATS Volleyball Tournament, third Annual. What's up, mccrey Winfield. I'm justin Burke. What up? I'm Mitchell O'Brien. Oh. I just flicked a spider onto my leg. I've been trying to kill as many as I can these spiders here.

Man, this should be called Spider Park. What's the name of this park? Justin Glickville? Wickville Park? What's that's that's totally not their cruct name. What's the name of this park? Mitchell Grelickville, Gretlickville Park. That's That's where we're at today. It's the tournament. We're having fun. Little overcast right now. I'd say it's a nice like what seventy five, seven, seventy seven or somebody eight? How about eighty one? Damn?

But it's so nice because the breeze. It feels like the breeze be hitting off the lake now. And this isn't this is like Michigan, but the people here call it the Bay or something. Yeah, yeah, it's uh, this is the west arm of Grand Triver's Bay off of Lake Michigan. Okay, so how does that work with fish? They're in the water. Yeah, but do the fish come from Lake Michigan. Do they check out

the bay and stuff? Yeah? Yeah. They're kind of like tourists in the summertime who come from like Ohio and Detroit to check out Triver's City in the bay. The fish come from the other Great Lakes to It's like they're tourists fish. Okay, some actually live in the bay. Oh well, it's just like Trivers City. We got people that live here all year round. So some could be from southwest Michigan where I'm from, and they swim all the way up here and someone don't really think so it works like that.

But then when they want to meet like other fish, like say, like if they're you know, they've been down in it's like Saint Joe Ben Harbor their whole life. And then they check out South Haven, cruise up like maybe to Holland and the Skeigan area, and they're like the stupid for like day trips with their kids. Yeah. Yeah, and then they just keep going. So like, why would I go back to Southwest Michigan. I've already made it this this far. Might as well just keep going.

Check out the Bay. There are better schools here. Yeah, that's a good one, Michelle, that's a good one. I like that. I don't know what drops around this thing, so I'm not going to hit them. People are like, that's great, thanks Cory for not doing that. Yeah. But yeah, we got thanks to Max Bauer in Traverse City. They hooked us up with. It was one hundred and fifty hot dogs or something like that. I was over there for like two hours. Grow and

they're not just hot dogs or like Frank Furters or something. I'm taking ones Like that's like the sausage man. Yeah, this sassage fest out here today. Yeah. Look at Gary, he's shoving a hamburger and he's got a sausage too. He was already eight one. Yeah, so thanks, I heard you, like Wieners. Well, thank you to Max Pauers for Justin's third grade teacher for laughing at his jokes because you encouraged him to keep telling them throughout his life. Huh. Oh, I was gonna get beat up.

That was the podcast for Thanks for listening. But there's a lot of people out here in early recovery and they're just being showed that, like you can have a good time. You know, there's volleyball being played, there's cookout going on, you know, there's food. You know, you got drinks that don't have alcohol in them, you know, and it's it's a good time. Man. You got men, you got women out here, you got whatever you want to identify as out here. I guess spiders.

Yeah, Spider's out here everywhere. My son's out here, my wife's out here. This is pretty cool. I could have used Parker back when I was trying to find a place to put the equal Knox. It would be nice. Yeah, well he's a Parker. And to Mitchell's four great teacher for encouraging his jokes about his life, thank you. It's really helped him out in his life. And he wants to pay a tribute to you right

now by telling you another joke. Well, we just encourage encouragement. Wait, wait, each other, Okay, encourage the encouragement of each other. I do agree with that statement. But one thing I like about what's going on here at the volleyball tournament. Is we actually you said early recovery. There's a lot of early recovery here, but there's actually a lot of long

term recovery here too. And if everybody's coming together, he said, men, women, if you want to identify as a spider or whatever, we're all here hanging out having a fun time. Justin took care of the wieners earlier and got everybody fed, and it's just a good time everybody in recovery. When I had it was it was hot. It was very hot. It was very juicy. So I had a air folk that I wasn't gonna explode in my mouth dead. That's my fifth grade teacher, Missus Hinton jokes.

And something's funny. I do enjoy the breeze. This is nice to have this breeze. Yeah, it is. And that's a beautiful thing about Michigan. Man, is I live down south. It's miserable. I hate it. Fort Smith, Arkansas, San Antonio does Dallas, Texas. It's hot. It's damn hot, and it's hot every day until from like April till mid November. It's just hot every day. And the beautiful thing about Michigan is it could be hot a couple days, then it gets dips down

seventies. You're high, yeah, you know. I mean that's the beautiful thing. We have four seasons and here in Traverse City. You know, if you like water, there's a lot of waters. Yeah, which is pretty cool. I flew the drone out earlier over the water. It was all right, I guess that's the closest you're gonna get to it. Yep, because there's fishing there and they will kill you. I saw a story the other day. I can't remember what it was on, but about a

fish killed somebody. Again, they just they bury it, man, They just they don't want people to know about it. I've heard a government six seven pike and musky out here and I well, yeah, And I showed you guys that video I sent it to you on on Facebook of that guy who was trying to get in the boat and then like his buddies were like ha ha ha, and then like he didn't realize what it was. He

thought it was like a life raft or something. Then he realized this big fish that was the size of a whale just rolls up on him and he's like, ah, and he starts freaking out and then the video winds before they show the fish eating them. But like it's it's for real thing, man, I think there's a story in the Bible. Actually yeah, yeah exactly. And you know how I am about the Bible. It's facts. Yeah, you know it's not going on. No. I was thinking about

this today though, because my cat's a little asshole. My cat even like their kittens, they look cute, right, and then they grow up a little then you know, okay, but then they hit that year between a year and two years, they are just assholes. They will knock everything off your table anything. And I have my acoustic panels up in the basement.

He climbs them. He's a climbing wall. Yeah. I had this one that that I paid more than I would ever pay for him hung on the wall and it's like an art one that has our wedding photo on it. And I see scratches all up in that mug. He climbs them and I don't know, he's just a jerk. So here's what here's what I was

thinking. You know how I'm always on like I wonder if the first person had a baby, how they know what a breastfeed it, and how they know this and how they even know they were pregnant when a person was pregnant the first time and then like a little elbow comes out, you know, the tummy. How were they not like, oh, let's get that beast out of there, you know and eat it. That's my that's my thinking of like why didn't they do that? Well, who was the first caveman

to domesticate a cat? And like, oh, it's a cute kitting to like this is he's knocking over all of our like rock fixtures and he just needs to go back. Then too, they just kick them out of the cave, Like what was what was the thinking behind that? Like were they like, oh it, we shouldn't have even like made this cat a thing because this is this is satan. You know. Honestly, kids when they turn about three to four, they act the same way, and from like

two to four they're the same way. Well, I could tell you that from about two to fourteen actually, so back in the Viking days when the little three year olds run around like just being an a hole? Is that better? Justin like what do you think like the king Viking guy did,

was he like just or like you take a sword out. Yeah, yeah, tell the scars and stuff when the girl You don't know, I think your headphones are up a little much, mitche really yeah, because you're just kinda oh yeah, okay, but not that you're a part of the conversation. What'd you say is stabbing people? Yeah? What the king Viking guy do And they just pulled stord out and just be like cut it out.

Yeah, I don't know. That's just something I was thinking about. The cat thing though, they say that I heard this on the History Channel that cats is a domestic cat actually domestic themselves. Okay, they're smaller breeds of cats, wild cats in Africa that started to realize that rodents were around human populations, and then they would go there to hunt them, and then the humans would give them food and stuff, and eventually they realized there was a

relationship because cats aren't actually tame like a dog. You have cats and they don't try to kill you. Like that's a nice thing that they do for us. But you can't teach it to sit like you can a dog. You can, you can, but not the average cat. Yeah, you can. You can do that stuff to other lions. Too, But I would never just let one roam around in your house, you know what I'm

saying, because you might not wake up that night. I'd love to have a lion in my house, right the first year and a hat year to two years, I would not want them because it'd be pushing all the that be push your fridge out the back door. Yeah, get off the corner. Maybe a little harder to grab him up and get down. Now snap my finger and look at him, and it's just no back even growls. Okay, well just just once I told you to stop feeding him turkey,

give him cat treats, a lot of tuna fish much. Yeah, you'd have to man that tiger king guy. I bet his bill was expensive that water if he left him by hanging that other lady, Yeah, I think that. I think there's a part of the show, isn't it. Lady left people hanging. Yeah, because I'm sure he didn't pay his bills,

right, I'm pretty sure that's part of it. Better when the chick got her arm bit off and he's like, I'm never financially recovering from this, well, yeah, the guy got his arm bit off too, didn't he? Probably there are multiple interesting things that happened in that show. The one lady couldn't ford to feed hers so she fed her husband. Man. I wonder if COVID didn't happen, if they would ever be a thing. I don't know. We can think COVID for it, though I don't think I

would have watched it. We should have a podcast today with Justin in it. Oh, okay, we'll talk about Netflix. What's up? I don't watch Netflix? All right? It was they could damn theirselves to one IP address, so you can't share it because you can't steal it or have your family steal it from you. I don't want it. Okay, cool, well, mention I have it. I don't like how they keep raising prices, and dude, they're getting just as bad as Amazon with like all their

movies not being American. Yeah, what's up with that. I've enjoyed some of the foreign ones. I have not some, and it irritates me because like this is like, oh, this looks good, and then I hit the trailer and then it'll just spiggie and it's shitty dubbed. Yeah, dubbit dub it. Well, pay me, we're sitting right here. Have have Justin dub it. You know, he'll do some American talk on there.

Would that'd be great if there's just like this hot guy and he's like on the beach and then he comes up and Justin says, what, okay, he dropped your smile. He comes a handsome dude out of the water, shaking his head because he's got this long, beautiful char and he just looks at the camera and he says, dropped your smile. Dropped your smile. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Wow. Yeah, this this game is getting pretty good. Kim's out there, yeah cooking. Kim is out there and

she's doing good. I just want to do a little play by play like this, This younger guy here with the blue shirt, he's going hardcore like he like in his gym class. He was like pretty good at volleyball. Well, these there are two winning teams playing each other because Kim's team won and this is my son. All right, well maybe we should. I think they're gonna need some some music. And in order to play music, I have to connect to the thing. See. I was gonna bring pizza,

and everybody was like, pizza's nut. So if you bring to the beach there's a man right across the street. Yeah, looks like you do bring pizza to the beach. You can bring pizza anywhere. Yeah, absolutely all right, but you can ship it to your friends if you want. Anyway, we'll wrap this up. Maybe we'll do one from the office later, but we'll get back to the music and yeah, we're having fun here. Third annual ATS Beach Volleyball Tournament in Traverse City. I'm Corey, I'm

Mitch. Justin to seventeen regovery later
