It's the two seventeen Recovery Podcast with Corey Winfield. If you kind of look deeper at the situation, you know, which I'm sure you will, because everything that we go through is an experience that we learned from. And Justin Burke, I come right in. I am very sneaky about it. You'll be talking to someone and I'll just come in and sit at my desk and just bust one out real quick. It is the third of January twenty twenty
four, almost that twenty three, but I'm going to do it. It is the two seventeen Recovery Podcast from the North Studio and Justin Burke is joining me. How are you justin fabulous? Are you fabulous though compared to this morning? Yes, I am doing much better, okay, because you're you're feeling a little better, looking a little better. But this morning, man, it looked like you might have had some COVID four. Yeah I felt
like it. Yeah. I think I had a little COVID five point oh last week or a couple weeks ago, right week before Christmas, because like one thing, when I had COVID the first two times that my wife Martie, I love you to death, gave me because she got it from her work, I think, and then they gave it to me, So I appreciate that. And one thing I noticed, man, is I would have walked down a flight of stairs and just be out of breath like now walking
up, just walking down. And I had the same out of breathless after walking up some stairs at the crib the other day, and I was like, man, and gd COVID five point oh got my ass and I tested myself for COVID, but it was that stuff that Biden sent out, which was like leftover from Trump's so it wasn't even working. Like I didn't pick up my COVID five point zho and think about it. We were talking about it yesterday because we were all like, man, we all felt like crap.
We all had this thing. One of the signs of having COVID was they would take your temperature right yeah, before you walk in anywhere, like let me get your temperature, and you'd be like, okay, Well, if I was gonna make three point oh four point oh five point oh COVID, I would make sure that it was undetectable. So I would be in the little lab with my little beakers and I'd be likeop, boop, little aspirin in there, boop, little aspirin in there then and then send it
out. That's what I would do. That's what I would do if I was like an evil chemist. So it deflates the fever. Yeah, so that way, boom, there's no way to detect it. And then boom they're a little stupid little Pfizer tests. They don't work. No more boom. Now what back to another pandemic? Mm hmm. COVID money is two point zero Mmm. Well see they said they you can do no more COVID moneys. Yeah. And the only reason why they did COVID money was because
the rich people wanted us to pay them rent exactly. And the banks want they money, and they all want they money. It's all about money. Justin once you found out today, Yeah, because you took your little happy ass, because I told you it was like, hey, man, go up to that store that sells the drugs over there, the red w want to go to them they sell Okay, go in there, get you some.
You have to get that stuff that you have to take to the counter, because that's the stuff that you need and that's gonna make you feel better. It's gonna like open up your sinuses and you know, do that good's good on your face, face and your headhead. So you go up in there and you follow your boys directions and you go in there, and what happened justin So I go in there and all the good stuff is behind the counter now, which I guess it has been for a couple of years.
So I tell them what's going on. I'm like, you know, I just need some really good decongestion to relieve this sinus panem in and she goes, so, what one do you want? We have multiples. I was like, just give me a basic, twelve hour one, cheap one, you know, I don't need a big pack, nothing elaborate. And she goes, okay, she brings up to the counter scans it rings it in. Oh I need to see your ID scans. My idea says got yo, Eh, you've exceeded your daily limit of this medication. And I'm like,
I don't even buy this. How can I exceed it? We'll let me check again. Comes back says the same thing, got all your asses. I was so heartbroken at that moment. Wow, because see you in your previous life that you were living at hardcore gangster shit you got had going on. You use methamphetamines, yeah, and that was one of your charges. It's possession of it. Yeah, possession of meth fetamines less than twenty five grams. You've never made it, no, never try to make it.
Nope and boom, now you're blackbald from getting the medicine. Yep, So no suitor fed for me. Yeah, well no, you still got it because you know a guy who knows a guy who can go get it. Yeah. But me, I just can't go to the counter and purchase it myself, right, don't even know how to make it. It's a kitty litter and some a bunch of other crap you don't want to know about. But that's what I've heard anyway. But yeah, Like, and I think they've moved away from the Suda fed thing a long time ago. Maybe
maybe not, I don't know, but it's kind of messed up. And Marnie came in the office and saw the suit of fed on my desk, allegedly was on my desk, and she's like, you better hide that. I was like, I know, and I kind of told her about your situation. And I was like, you know, that's kind of messed up. You know, that'd be like saying if someone gets a drunk driving that I can never go buy alcohol again. It should be the same across the board. Oh, it would save so many lives. It would save the
person who's having a problem, it would save their life. It would save people from being in accidents, crashes, it's called them. But that's that's asi, that's that's cool because because it gets text, the government's making too much money off it, right, because the government makes money off it when it's made. They make money off it when it's sold, They make money off it when you get arrested, They make money off it when people die. Yeah, all wrong, it's still some money maker. They make money
off it. Where as you, you dirty meth guy, Nope, Nope, you just can't have access to that. You know. I could see if I was still on probation or something, I wouldn't be allowed to have it. Well, I'm not on probation, you know. I got off early for role model behaviors what they called it. I was working at a treatment center, just doing good for myself, and here I am still getting kicked in the shin like you just can't have this six days away from your
four years. Yeah, that's that's nope, you can't buy it. And some people would say, well, no, that's not the same with all Corey, that's not the same. You know, they would they would have to stop you from making alcohol, right, Well, they would do that too, you know, like if you could just go to the store and buy some meth, then you caught some charges. Okay, now you can't buy a meth anymore, but now you still can't go out and buy su fed, so they would still make it. But alcohol, you can make
potatoes, like I mean, pretty much anything. Yeah, it's so it would be very very hard, and he starts any sugar to stop someone from making it. But you know, it's it's one of those things, man, that really makes you kind of raise your eyebrow. You know, there was a guy in Michigan or a lady or whoever in Michigan. Somebody just want the lottery. That lotto got that lot of money and it's like eight hundred million or something, and if they want to just take the lump sum,
it's four hundred million. So just keep track of the missing millions, Okay, so eight hundred million, that's the that's the jackpot of all the people that put in the money, and goes up to here eight hundred million. Okay, Now, if you take the cash option, which you give you right away, half so they just took half just by you wanting your money today, the money that you won, you wanting it today, you're only going to get half of it. And then you still got to pay
taxes on them. Yeah, so you're really only going to get maybe maybe two hundred million if you're lucky. So where's the six hundred million going? Who knows? State? It's not fixing roads, schools aren't getting better. No, I think I could fix a lot of schools with six hundred million dollars. That's just the one lottery. That's just the one, right. How many others went down, you know? And some people say, oh, you got to split that money with other states, and blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. The state's getting a cut, man, They're getting get cut every time you buy a ticket, and every time they tell you it's going to the schools, it's going to the roads. I'm tired of that shit, and I'm tired of politicians half assed and shit just so that they can have jobs later. It's like the roads. I'm tired, tired, and I know people in Michigan you're tired too, tired of the f
in construction all the f in time. Do you know that they could fix the roads where they wouldn't have to touch them again for like sixty years, But they don't because they're like, that's great jobs. How about we give better jobs to people? And how many time you pass a construction site somebody just standing on a sign, you think that person feels like really like like he has a purpose in life. No, no, no, he's probably
got an addiction. Who knows. I'm not going that far with it, but I'm just saying, like, that job sucks, and I'll just say it right now. I don't care if they're getting thirty dollars an hour and standing there holding the fucking slow sign with a little walkie talking. Okay, I'm sorry, your job sucks. Everybody just mean mugging you on the way. No, why don't we just fix the damn roads? Like for real. I'm not even mentioning the governor's name because she's not worth it to me,
but her little thing was fixed the down road. No, but really fix them, yeah, you know, put hey, you know what, put a little heater in them. You know, they got that technology too. Make sure there's no ice, you know, like, do it really good, and them people will be having jobs because we're fixing all the damn roads, not just the highway. We'll just fix them all. We're actually going to create more jobs. And then sixty years we'll do it again.
You know. But instead they half assid they get these horrible companies to do it, to bid whoever BID's the lowest, highest, whoever knows who in office or whoever does this, and that they're the ones who get it. And it just drives me nuts. Man. I'm just fing tired of it. It's just like the whole system is just to just to screw people over. Man. Would you hear about their row construction plan for next year for Travers City. No, they're shutting down Parkway m for like all summer,
separate during cherry Fest. Do redo it, don't come to Traverse City. I don't think it's the Human Rights Commissioner. I'm allowed to say that, but I don't really care. I really don't you know, like the construction here is just gonna be horrible. Man, the roads of traffic in the summer is just a nightmare. Yep, it's not fun. And then to back it up even more and reroute it to all the side streets. Yeah. I feel sorry for those residents who pay less than taxes to not deal
with the traffic, and now they're going to deal with traffic. Also be working from home, dog, Oh yeah, you have to go in the traffic and drive people into places, unfortunately. But I enjoy my job though. Yeah, and let's talk positive stuff. It's very rewarding. Yes. Oh, we forgot to mention in at the beginning of the podcast. We have a very special guest who wants to make an appearance today. But I don't have the other third microphone hooked up, so I'm gonna actually let all
right, the person used my microphone. Doesn't look like they're coming in here just yet, but when they do, I'll just have to, you know, scooch out of the way and let them talk. They wanted to talk about a misconception or something like. I don't I don't even know what they were talking about, but we'll know very soon. But yes, your job,
you do love it and you help people. And we just got some coins that we ordered, that's what they say in America ordered, and we thought it'd be a great idea because we could put our website on there and
a lot of times you hands won a business card. It can go in a pocket and then right into the trash, you know, when they need it, they're like, oh damn, you know, I really wanted to call them, but there's so many resources at two seventeen recovery dot com that we're just like, hey, we'll give them a coin, which is pretty
cool. Yeah, and it has a map of Michigan on it, and it has like a star where we are in Traverse City, and then it has fun and recovery because that's what we're about exactly, and bitching about the government. Yeah, but that was too long to put on the coin. But then yeah, it has our website on at two seventeen recovery dot com.
So we're like, man, we'll give that out and to give it to people like when they get out of treatment, you know, when we take them home, you know, like give them a little pep talk and you know, do what we do with our recovery, coaching, training and all that that jazz, and then sometimes even one around the way to treatment if we can tell the person's like sad and feeling shame and guilt, because there's a lot of that that goes on, but like to incorporate into like
our at least that's what I did when I would drive people. You know, it's just like try to get a moving forward, trying to get their brain moving forward to like what's next, you know, like the stuff in the past, the stuff that you've told your mom or family or girlfriend,
your wife, whatever. You can't change that, but you can change it right now moving forward with what you do, you know, and then give them a coin and be like, hey man, your journey starts now, you know, Like remember to have fun and recovery and if you ever need anything, there's a website. I actually talk to the client I took today about that because he was going back to treatment, and he said something about having to rebuild relationships and takes time. I was like, yeah, sometimes
it does take time. It was this Christmas marks like nineteen twenty years since I have been at my aunt's house during Christmas time. A lot of it was probably due to my own addiction, maybe my smart little mouth when I was younger, but you know, I mean it all wraps into each other. You know. I put a lot of negative energy out there, and you know it took time. You know, Like you said, I'm almost four years sober and I finally just got invited back, you know, so
it feels great to finally get those relationships back. My uncle ashtu to talk to me about my job when I was at his house. I actually took a caring note to what I was actually doing with my life, which was absolutely amazing. You know, Normally he just says hi, by see you later, and I didn't get that response. It's nice. Yeah, it feels good. It did and people can get that. And I know a lot of people out there are struggling. It's hard. I don't want to
do it. I don't know what to do. I've done this before and had a guy tell me that yesterday when I went to the detox to talk and he's like, yeah, man, but I've been this and I've tried that. I was like, apparently you didn't try everything, Like there's something in there. And this is what hit me at one point was the relationship with my father, like I had to. I had to repair that,
had confront it. I had to understand it from his point of view, you know, Like I remember like a mean text that I had sent him one of the last times I talked to him before I went years when I'm talking to him and I was like, dude, how could you have because I at that time no children. Now I got a baby boy on the way and they can't wait. Yeah yeah, but at that time, no children, no marriage. Thought I was going to die drunk, and I thought, how are you going to have two sons? And you just walked
away from us? You know. That was one of the things I told him, you know, but I had to understand, and I had to talk to him as an adult, as a man, not as a drunk, not reacting to situations, but just like, help me understand that, yeah, you know, to his side of the story. And he could have been like f off and I would have been like, all right, cool, you know, but but to hear you know, yeah, like you said, his side of the story. Now, does that make it
right? Does that heal all the wounds? No? But it can help me move forward. And one of the letters that I wrote him was like, I don't know if we're going to have a father son relationship. I don't know if we're just going to text each other and say, hey, what's up. Have birthday? I have no idea what we're going to do, but I would like some sort of relationship with you. You know, you are my father and whatever happened to happen. But just like all the
dumb shit I did in the past, I can't change that. And he's not perfect either. He's a human. Yeah, we're all human. So you know, how about a little forgiveness and how about a little understanding and then to move forward. Whether his reason to me was legit or not, you know, that doesn't matter. But the fact that I had to face it and confront it and that really helped me move forward with my recovery, I believe, because there was something in there that was keeping me stuck.
And probably some of here trauma too, yeah, the abandonment issues, you know, to feel like I never really had a dad. My stepdad's great, but he's not that dad. He's not you know, my father, my biological father, you know, And to have that bond with somebody, you know, I just feel like I missed something. But now, like I said, I can set it up moving forward with this. This is what I have now, and when my son is born, I can do
my damnedest to make sure that I'm there for him. You know, in the perfect world, i'd sit here and be like, oh, yeah, Martie and I we're gonna die together at one hundred and forty five years old. Sounds good old, But you never know, you know, you never know what's going to happen. And she could be like, where, I'm tired of your ass, get out, Like, no, I got right
married. You're getting rid of me that easy? But but no, you know, it's like, but I want to be there for my son, and I want to, you know, do things with my son, and I don't know, I just can't wait, you know, to get in there and change diapers and just watch a little person grow up. That's so
yeah. I enjoyed it. You know. When I first got sober, I was like, you know, I'd like to have another one, to be able to do it all over again, do it the right way this time, and then, like, I don't know, within like the past year or so, I was like maybe not like my daughter's thirteen. Now, maybe I don't want to be tied back down. You know, I'm not saying that you're never not tied down after they turn Eighteen's ridiculous because they're
still gonna need you. They're still gonna need stuff. But you know, they're typically not living in your home. They moved on to college trying to become a person themselves, and you're still trying to guide him. Or they're living at home with a couple of kids. Maybe never know, Grandpa justin, oh triplets, don't put that on me. He had to see his face. It just is like his jaw dropped and he's like the fear look of fear was on his face. But speaking of fear, we do have
our guests. We're gonna welcome in and she's been on the podcast before you maybe you'll recognize her, maybe not, but I'm gonna get out of the way and make way for our guest, Susan. Welcome Susan. Everybody. How you doing today, Susan ain't justin? What's up? J dog? Amen? How are you doing? A little suit of fed not buying and effort? You got jokes? Then I'm going fabulous? Yeah, hell of jokes. But now, man, i'm'a here cause I want to clear the
air. I heard some speculating going on by my existence in the two seventeen recovery center. Yeah, how's that? Yeah, well you were kind of here the day that I will hell you call my ass? You got me any Corny? He said, come here, little mouse, I'm gonna squish your little guts out. And ain't Corey saved me? He said, justin, just put him in the trash can. I'm gonna go get it. Get a little house for the mouse. Yeah. Yeah, I love Cory.
He's pretty cool. But when I showed up here, y'all thought I was living in your walls or something, right, Yeah yeah, I said, uh, wasn't your white idiots? You fat white guys and cracked me up. Yeah. So what happened was how I got caught was I came cause I was tired of living where I was living. See. So what I did justin is I saw this lady. She had this like big old bag that she didn't use for gym stuff, but she just took it with
her wherever she went. And I was only like six days old, and I seen her take this bag everywhere, and she come back to me with good like food and nuts. So I said, I'm gonna get up in that bag and I'm gonna go see where these food and nuts is. So I creeped in that bag, I got down rich fo me myself lived anymouse, and then then I hid and then I hid, and then there was some big loud mur I think that's what they called the bus. So I knew I was going places right because I was on the bus. That's when
you know you made it. So I get up in here and I start smelling good stuff and nuts and I jump out that MFM bag and then I just hid in the corner. And then I waited for everybody to leave because they was talking about recovery and all kinds of stuff for like an hour, and I said, how long I waited in that corner? And then that uh one fat oh Cory, Yeah, the fat white guy, he came
in and he was looking for something. They was trying to fix a camera or something, and he said, oh my god, he screamed, my good girls up here. Then really there's a mouse, Mitch hell. And then big Mitch comes in. I'm like, oh, they get bigger, So that, my guy, this is nuts, And so I ran kind of across the table underneath it, and I ran back around it, and then Corey and Mitch just standing there looking all stupid, and Cory come out, well, we gotta catch it. And by we, I mean you,
Mitch. I knew if it's just on Mitchie Corey, I'm getting past these fools. You know. Cory's all scared, trying to stand on a chair, just pointing and shit. And then Mitch goes, oh, I got an idea. So he goes and he gets his bowl, not like a bowl, but like you know, if you like went home, I had some sketty tonight and then you have some stuff that like just you didn't eat, so you want to keep it for tomorrow, so you put it one of them bowls. It was a bowl like that. I think some
caught like a little tough ware dishes, you know what I'm saying. So that's what he grabbed, and I'm like, what the hell you gonna do with that? So then Cory says, no, no, you need a bowl, So he grabs like a candy dish or something. And I thought this up be cool to do, like a halfpipe one you know, like if you're in the escape, you know I'm talking about. So I said, well, shit, I ran behind the door, and ain't Corey's like,
I got it this way. And then Mitch gets on the other side of the door inside of the room, and he's just like leaning down trying to eat me or something, and I says, it's time to do some tricks. Shall So I ran out and I hit that bowl and I ran up and almost did like a like a three sixty, and I shine backking Corey's office and that smells good in there, and I was under the couch just chilling, and ain't Corey come in screaming talking about kim me in off.
It's bad. I don't even like Mice. I'm afraid Mitch saved me. And then he jumped in Mitch's arms and Mitchell was like, hold, I'm saying it's gonna be o k boss man. We gonna get that outside of here. And I got an idea, and so Corry said, please Mitch put me down. He's scaring me. So Cordy got down, moved the couch and I was like, all right, well, I'm not gonna
mess with Cory because he seemed like a cool dude. So I shot out of Cory's office and then I went back in the little room that I smelled all that goot food in, and then I said, well, I start threw my wine be in. So then Mitch at used to making noises like sauce or hot sauce. I don't know what he was saying. So I said, okay, I'm a run back. So I went in and you aren't AM's office. I skeezed under the door and then Mitch comes up.
We was just playing this and the dumbest white man crap I'd ever seen in my life. He built. He had a chair, then he had chipped over and then he put like like a yard stick on it, like I was supposed to crawl up this chair and then like scooter loongless stick to get this fo they old donut. I don't even like donuts, justin I like nuts, So I was like whatever, Like this dude must be tripping.
I just sat in the corner. Washington put it all together. Then it wasn't an idiot, and he thought I was gonna do all that and then get the donut and then Blue fall in the trash. But I didn't. I was just waiting and you can and you got my ass. You got my ass, Justin. And yeah, and Corey saved me because he was gonna just kill me, Justin. I can't believe he was gonna kill me. I'm sorry, Susan, But that's okay because you bought me some good nuts. You got me nuts. It has nuts and more nuts and some
seeds. Yeah, it's got some little red nuts, the little yelling nuts. Oh wow, we call them nuts where I'm from, so because we just like nuts, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, so that's that's the story. But a lot of people think that I just come here and then Corey went out and bought them them traps. Yeah, is that what they called traps? Man? I ain't seen nothing so inhumane. It's said documentary The Green Mile. You ever see that movie, just Y,
Man, My granddaddy was in that movie All jingles. Yeah, it's a good documentary. You know. It shows how people kill us for no reason, just squish our little guts out, just st all over the place. Yeah. So that kind of scared me, just you know, seeing them traps around. But that's why I'm like, what they trying to do. Like do they I hear record to my oldest family must delivered in the walls. Humm, no, idiot. I came from the house down the road
for I'm a traveler. Yeah. I think there's a song like traveling Man or something, but I'm a woman. Nope. Yeah, the pop singer got one too about traveling, doesn't he. Yeah. I like Bob's her he used to be on the road with him. Really. No, but I dream, you know. Sometimes I get in my little mouse wheel and I just run, run, run, run, run, and I pretend that I'm just running out of here. Yeah, you've been out a lot more lately. Yeah. I like chilling. I like chilling. You guys
got the Christmas lights here? Those are so pretty. Yeah, and you bought me a new ball. Yep, they'll be here Friday. Oh. I can't wait to heard you talking about it. Maybe it won't be so heavy, hopefully not the other ball you got. Just it's too big, it's so healthy. I can't move it. No. I try my little mouse to ask you. It's skinny up speed, and it just don't move. No. I think that's Friday like a rat. I think so. I misjudged it or that's what happens when your shop at Walmart. You got
one size. It's all. I had nothing but nice thing to say about Walmart, justin they support recovery, and I support you guys in your recovery. They do support recovery. I appreciate the second chance of life. But hey, I gotta get out of here though Mitch's coming. I gotta make sure I drop some voodoos. Yeah, you gotta get my wheel. I buttered up, you know what I'm saying. But all right, I want to tell Cory he's cool and I appreciate coming on to tell my story of
how I came to be at the two seventeen recovery Center. Well think Susan, all right, that was fun. Yeah, yeah, I heard a little bit, but it's hard to hear her because she's got to talk like into the microphone. So yes, it was stuff. What was she saying that I heard her say? My name said I something. Yeah, she said, he screamed like a little girl, dropped up on some chairs. Maybe he didn't do that, jumped to Mitch's arms. Oh that clearly didn't
happen. I think you were feda story. What they call it a tall tale, a tall tail, yeah, to the Tale of Susan. Yeah, but it was entertaining. Nonetheless, I have fun and recovery only. Yeah. So we're going to have Recovery Stories Message of Hope Part two on February twenty ninth at the Grand Travers Event Center here in Traverse City, and you are going to be telling a story, yeah, three to five minutes about what was No. It's weird because, like we took the training Megan
Perry, who's like a bunch of different things. She has a bunch of different titles, but she has this u's like drama therapy, and it really does help you kind of work through some some problems. But we were doing it yesterday and it's the same training that Adam and I took, and it pretty much tells you how to take one point in your life during your recovery journey and just kind of go into more detail about it and just focus on that one story as opposed to, hey, here's my story for a half
hour or for an hour, you know. And it's it's pretty cool because we all have like a billion stories that we could tell, you know, I mean, from even being at treatment from the ride away from treatment, you know you laughed at Yeah, yeah, I mean those are all points that you remember, you talk about them, you know, so like to get them out of your brain and in front of other people. I think it's going to be fun. And Mitch he's going to do it too.
And one thing I said was like, don't write anything down, because that's what Megan told us. She's like, it's it's making sure it doesn't have to be perfect, you know, we're just trying to relate to somebody in the audience to let them know, like, this is a real story and it's not rehearsed. I mean it is rehearsed, but it's not like written down on a piece of paper and you're not pretty much reading it, you know, from memory. It's just like, hey, this is what happened,
and it will change every single time you tell it. Mitch's writing it down. I'm like, dude, you can't do. I've been working on mine with detecs like over there to go speak about how it came to about to recovery and my little entry journey and it yeah, just more details.
Yeah, it's funny because when you started telling yours, like we gave you three minutes and then you told it like a minute and a half, so we just waited and then it's like, okay, now you get a minute to tell it because that's how we had to do it, and you finished in twenty seconds. It's like okay, Like that's not ye. I wasn't given a lot of detail as is hitting like key factors with no detail.
There was no like set in the mood. You're going to feel what I was feeling at that time because I wasn't telling you right, I was leaving you clueless. Yeah, but the more you'll think about it, the more you go into detail, the more you tell it, and then you know, we'll give you two minutes to tell it, and then we'll go back to you know, three minutes and then you get to tell your whole thing and see if you can get it in there. But I think it's going
to be really good. Adam and I are going to tell a story as well. Nice And then there's a couple of people I'm thinking about asking, but I got to get the nomination for him up at two seventeen recovery dot com because we're asking people to nominate people they know in the area that would be a good speaker that would want to tell the message part of it because
it's recovery stories, message of hope part two. Like the recovery stories is what we're doing and then the message of hope is that that whole part. Yeah, you know, And I'm actually finishing the video from the first one we did. I put the recovery stories out there as individual ones, the four that we did with Lenny Kendro and myself and Adam which on our website two seventeen recovery dot com. So feel free go check those out if you
need to be inspired by something. But I'm want to put the whole thing together as like a whole movie. And I'm hoping we can show it next week at stream at Center here in town. That would be awesome and go over there and be like, hey, we want to do like a world premiere here with you guys. But that stuff's cool though, and then that's fun and recovery. That's the stuff that we do and that's what we are
looking forward to. And I know people were looking forward to the second one so like it was a big hit, Like I heard about it all over the place. Yeah, and for a couple of knuckleheads like us. One of us can't even buy suit of fed nor. I don't like to come up with this kind of stuff and to do it and to put it on and to make it happen, you know. And there's a lot of steps involved. But at least we have more time to prepare for this one like
that. We'll see when they were probably gonna screw it up even more. I'm sure the more time you had to prepare. I'm kind of a last minute guy. Yeah, I think we should be doing this a week before Christmas. We should maile lot some Christmas cards. Let's design them. Yeah, let's design them. Don't get pretty uh adhesive envelopes. You guys gotta look them all. Hey see, you can take a rag and just that's pain. It was easier just to look them all. That's gonna be a
drop. I hope. It's easier just to lick them all. I hope. So it's gonna bust them out. He's talking about his blogs and the open but yeah, but they but it gets done, and we feel good when things get done. I mean, Mitch was saying he became a notary and he's going through those steps to become a public notary. Yeah, and that was one of his goals back last June, right after we open.
He talked about it and then just put it on the back burner. Put it on the back burner and kept reminding him of it, but just never materialized until here recently is like, oh, yeah, I should probably do that. I said I was going to do it, and I need to stick to that commitment. Yeah. It feels good when you finish things, and even if you think about something as simple as doing laundry or mowing your yard, you know, like when you're done with that task, you feel
good. You know, your brain releases some of that dope. Meine, Yeah, that's what it's about, you know, finishing things and giving people opportunities. So we're gonna have volunteer opportunities for sure, And like I said, the nomination form will be up on the website. Not sure when you're
