This is the two seventeen Recovery podcast with Corey Winfield. Yeah, it's hard right now, It's tough. It sucks. You want to call a hole and die. But this could be the best thing that's ever happened to you. Justin Burke, Then we actually take better care of her than our plants. Are you're talking about Susan. You're back on that. Yeah, And Mitchell Oldbrian I watered all of the plants, all of them. Yes, he did. It is the ninth of January twenty twenty four. My name
is Cory Winfield, and that This is the two seventeen Recovery podcast. Justin Burke in the house, what's up? And Mitchell O'Brien the plant master, the plant master, the master planter, the master planter. Justin has had more experience with the plants recently. Is that when he goes to his desk and bust one out. No, I mean you did, Oh yeah, you gotta. You bought your plant a pot, yeah, a new pot. Yeah. It's like a plastic trash can. Yeah, miniature trash can.
Yeah, in that same I don't believe. So how many years art did you take in college? It makes me the expert here. Okay, it's Teal. So Amazon's called it was Teal. Okay, let's not plug Amazon. Oh yeah, easy, not a sponsor. I love Amazon, and I'm going to say that right now. Amazon makes life easy. Yes it does. So today is a huge day. Mitch got here early and it was just beautiful. So congratulations Mitch. Isn't he always here early? Yeah? Not always. There's that week that my kid was out of town,
came in normal time. Is that what you're saying, I have to get all up in it. Yeah, that's what was going on. No, justin the big day. Is you buddy? You got your four years clean today? Yep? Sure do. Man. That's awesome dude. All right, yeah, so I'm talking about so, yeah, how's that feel? Four years ago today you were going into jail and today you're sitting in across from me doing a podcast. It feels fabulous. What would Tyrone say? God damn, oh yes he would. It's crazy how that four years
goes Mitch. I think it pointed out earlier that I have four years, you have four years. You have five years. Oh that's right, I have five years. Marnie has four years, you have four years. Mitch has three years and Adams two yep, two, so we need somebody with one year. It's like a staircase add to the team, and we'll always just keep tearing it, you know, or maybe someone who's had six years. No, nobody can never have more than me. Justin' stop it,
yeah nah it. But it's kind of cool though, because we're all at kind of different points of of our recovery and like you can tell Mitch, yeah, you got three years, but just just keep hanging in there, buddy, you get to four one day like me. For me, it's kind of cool because you and I met world. I met both of you guys shortly after hitting two years. No here I am at three, so
little milestones. It seems like the first year though, was the toughest, maybe because every month you're getting a coin, you're getting some kind of key tag, or there's something going on every month to where it's just like okay, okay, okay. But then once you get like the year is for me, it just kind of went pretty quick and then oh boom, all right, I got my two years and that's like the just just flew by.
Well. I think a lot of it's because you actually learned how to live life and enjoy life getting through all that horrible stuff you did, Like you're starting to learn how to deal with it and be able to move on with it. Would you say that you started learning to living life and recovery. Yeah, like your meeting that you have on Mondays and Thursdays that passed down to me by my mentor take some ownership though, that's good stuff.
That's pain. It was easier just to look them all. I have no idea what you're talking about, justin that envelopes for Christmas cards, because it didn't sound like they said that. But that's that's fine because it was taken out of context. I would never do that to your voice. Yeah you no, I would not. So on your way to four years, though,
what was what would you say would be the toughest challenge? I mean, I guess I can you can say anyway four years, but really it's just on your journey, because Mitch, I have a I can mute you. See I muted you. What's the hand signal? Yep? There you go. Do the the fully lan arms guy car dealerships use right. We still have to get that video out there. Yeah, but before we get
back to your four years and starting time about recovery. We finished the video for Recovery Stories Message of Hope Part one, so it's all together and kind of like a little two seventeen recovery special. Nice. Yeah, let's think about like sending it to different rehabs or something. That'd be awesome. They can show to their people's mhm, that'd be pretty cool. You used to do that. How would you send it to him? Sure? When in patask you would enjoy it overall? Yeah, yeah, they seem to be
huge fans. We sent him on a USB drive or I can put it in some kind of file and have them just download it. It'd be easy to once we get it premiered. We have it on the Facebook not Facebook YouTube and send links. Yeah, but YouTube will break down the quality though. You can only upload certain quality to YouTube. YouTube. You only upload two hour podcasts too. I don't understand how you can do a two hour podcasts me either. They talked for forty five minutes about geese to your brother,
forty five minutes about geese who likes their brother that much? After ten minutes, it's awkward and it's like, all right, man, Well, I'll talk to you later. We spent the majority of our lives hating each other, so this is new for us. We're just kind of meeting each other for the first time. And if you're gonna do a two hour podcasts, but I'm should you give him a microphone or something working on it. He's just on his little phone, not even a cell phone. It's like
one of them corded phones. I'm working on with Pure Carver salary here. Not even a cordus phone. It's like one of them old ones, them rotary phones. Mitch, your brother lives down there in Squalor and one of the Carolina's right out in the woods somewhere. Jesus, justin, I have a mute button. You're supposed to do this? Oh my god, you guys are horrible at this. Hold on all right, cut you off mid laugh there, let me go. Oh I think where are you? All
over? Mitch? I think you should back up a little bit. Corey see, just has an allergy to what has been described as the Good D. And whenever he's close to the good dright sneeze. So I have a theory too, What is that so good that it makes our computers not work well when you're around. Mine was working fine all morning and then all of a sudden you're standing there and I try to load that one page and it won't anymore. That's weird forever. Maybe it's because of all the viruses you
get on your computer that's pain. It was easier just to look them all well. Or maybe because this mins went around look at them all. I don't know, all right, don't get viruses. It don't even licked my viruses. Virus is only one time. Oh, I swear it's whole officehead viruses recently multiple times. Yeah, Cold Blue is the season. I don't even know. I don't even know where to go. So anyway, the movie that we made is done, and I don't noticed like one little mess
up that I want to change. But I don't any think I'm going to change it because it's not a major one. But I think it looks all right. You didn't get to watch all of it, No, I've missed the last segment. Yeah, but once we premiere it, I mean, maybe you two, but I don't know why not. Huh. Yeah, I mean I feel like it'll be accessible to a bunch of people. You think it's good enough to put on, Like was that for you? One time I watches v Bro or something, Well, you turned down the Netflix
special offer, Yeah, because they wanted like eight of them. I'm like, there's a lot a commitment. And they say, you know, especially in recovery, you got to say nope sometimes, and Mitch, you'll learning to say no. So this was a perfect opportunity for me to show you how to say no. So you said noship lots of money from Netflix. It wasn't that much money is on like eighteen million or something if it was the last, but it was eight movies, man, and I want to
make a movie about making a movie. I got time to be doing these specials, these recovery specials, these glorified ted talks. But that v Bro though, what it's like yellow and purple like the square on the app logo or whatever, not the app, but it has the app logo. It's a yellow and it's got a V and then some ease, and I thought of Bro, I said, too far from my television, man at home, I don't know my glasses on. Is that a like a streaming service?
Yeah? One Troe watches, He's like, it's good, Okay, that comes together. Yeah, he refuses to pay for anything. He loves commercials then he does. He takes a little naps during them. But it's funny what we spend our money on and what we wouldn't spend our money on. Like Tyrone, he tells the story and I hope to get up on recovery story message Part two really does because he tells the story about walking through like snow and miles to go get this little piece of crack and he told
the crack dealer, yeah, I got five dollars. So the crack dealer is waiting for him and he walks there and he's like, man, I only had two dollars and some change, and I was just hoping he just put in his hand and you know, just get it. But the guy looked at it and just knocked it out of his hand and then drove off. Said some few words or something, maybe an N word in there.
I don't know, but Tyrone said that just reaching down to try to pick up his change in the snow, Like that moment, he was like, it's gotta stop, like I have to do something different, and he was so mad and just humiliated I think too, just having to pick up the change and actually needing that change, you know, like, yeah, but don't buy no Amazon, don't buy Amazon Prime. You won't buy Netflix or
any kind of even Peacock, which isn't bad. You have peacock on you just you have peacock anymore I have there's a couple of them, like Paramount Peacock. I'll pay for them until I watch what I want to watch and then I cancel it. I have Max, Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus, Amazon Prime. That's it. Yeah, so those are some good ones. Determine as v BRO. I don't even know how do you spell it. I tried looking it up ve e and then like b r O or
something bro. I swear something like that. Is it two words or one word one? Not even like sling or two b m m. Yeah. Some things kind of a wasted money. So they got commercials all up in there have commercials now, well depends what you're watching, but even Netflix offers ads. Now, Netflix is I got this thing. I turned it on the other day. It's like, do you want your friends or family to be able to watch your Netflix account for this much more a month? We'll
give you more signings. Just give out the ones like that I already have, like everybody else already does. And that's the it's because Netflix monitors your IP address now, so you can't do that because it recognizes your home IP address. So if you go somewhere else sign into a different I on a different network, they asked you if you are traveling now hm hm, and they send you and then they email you a code so that way your one
at home will be disabled and won't work. Those nosy bitches. Yeah, well, there's nothing that's that great on Netflix where somebody's gonna be watching something in one room and somebody else gonna be watching it anywhere else in the world. Netflix sucks. That's that's a horrible selection. I mean the Outer Milk or whatever. That was funny, but like, seriously, there's so much
crap on Netflix. Like I remember Netflix, and I was thinking, like I should call them to have this debate with them, because why am I gonna pay And this was back when it was nine or nine or nine a month? Why am I gonna pay that to watch some old movies I've elready seen, Like it doesn't make sense, like come up with some new stuff. And then so they started doing like this comedy series with Chappelle. I think Pete Davidson's dropping this week. But it's irritating because they keep me just
hanging out with Chris Rock. He can't I have to see it, right, I as well keep it. And I don't know why I'm keeping AMC because Walking Dead I was a big fan of that, and then they have like a bunch of little spinoffs. But it and shit going on right now? Is that me getting charged like thirteen fourteen bucks a month for some dumb shit. I should cancel that. But that's the thing, because like there's
eighteen things I said I'm gonna do that to do. I've done one of them, you know, Like I say, I took a good game. I say I'm gonna do some shit, but then I I forget. Did you write them down? No, that's why you forgot. That's true. I was trying to teach you guys a lesson. It's been working and it's seriously, you write stuff down that you're gonna do, and it it's amazing.
Yeah, like you will like your day will be more productive, like you'll actually want to get these things done quick books not in the mood. My problem was I would have anxiety about not getting them all done. But then you're like, he's write it on tomorrow's list. You can do that. Yeah, Like it was it was like my you should just saying I would have loved I would have paid I would pay money to see my face
when this doctor told me this. It was a psychiatrist at Pine Rest, and he was like going over stuff with me, and he's like, why do you keep drinking? You know? And he was the older guy, he was probably like the mid sixties, late sixties, and I was like, I don't know because I have this this and I just I'm losing my mind. He's like, oh, you don't need medicine or anything. You
just you need noepad. I was like what. He's like, you make a list of stuff and then do them and then when you're done, across them off there you go. And it didn't didn't cure me, but it did help, you know. When I started making lists, and it helped me stay organized and not so scatter brained all over the place, not trying to do ten things at once to right and then not completing any of them
right. That's why I'm fighting with myself right now, because I'll be doing one thing and I'll be like, oh, this is another list too, and start it and'll be like oh no, and I have to like one thing at a time. Yeah, that's pain. It is easier just to look them all the same time. No, individually, one at a time. I get it now. Yeah, it's so confused. So Adam's not
here to defend himself, Nope. But I want to play something. Okay, Okay, first I have to set it up though, because the other day we're doing a podcast Justin and me, Adam, yep, and you said something that I didn't catch at the moment. It's kind of like those ghost Hunter shows that they're like, oh, I didn't even realize what was going on. And then I listened to it and I was like, oh
my god, that was That was a funny line by Justin. But there was something that Adam did and it just left me speechless when I was listening back to it. And I feel bad for Adam, and we're going to give him a chance to come on here to clear his name if he if he feels he needs to. But here is probably one of the best drops ever ever recorded. Okay, dude, that my son was god like they're like, he she shouldn't have had like it. I don't know how, you know what I mean, Like, but you know what I mean,
No, are you? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital. And his defense, we were talking about his lucky strike with getting the mother of his children pregnant and the first one he met, and it just happened, you know, the the first time, so that's why he met, Like, my son it was God. He's not saying his son is God. He's just saying, like that was the act of God, that that happened. Let's let's listen to it again, dude, that
my son was God. Like, They're like, she shouldn't have happened like it. I don't know how, you know what I mean, like, but I mean, it's great, it really is. And that was so excited when I heard that. I'm like, match, get in here. When I was like, dude, you want to free drop better with the rest of it. What you say at the end, I can't remember what it was. And he's like, oh, usually that happens by intercourse. It's just like, oh my god. And I'm like, how did I
miss all that? How did I miss it all? Like like, you know what I'm saying. I mean, he does that pretty regularly. That was just a good one. We're not making fun of you, Adam. Well, I me who we are. But it's no hard feeling your own good. We're laughing. We're have fun of recovery here, Adam. We're laughing with you. Yes, no, he was talking. He came into work today. I'm fire from all some aliens or something. Yeah, Miami with that, I don't know. Did you see there's a video of it
or something. There's some videos out there. I haven't watched a lot of them. I saw some pictures of the supposed aliens and the report was multi pull ten foot large, ten foot large, ten foot tall beings. It's a small in Miami. And there were like one hundred police officers or I don't even know that, but like a bunch of police officers and all their sirens going, and people were reporting multiple different people like from different parts of
them all and everything. They're all reporting the same thing, seeing these things, and they're like waving in and out of being seen, like kind of visible and then not and then visible and then not. And so if I had a projector and I had a ten foot tall Justin Burke with a un shot it over there by the mall. The police would show up because people would say, it's aliens. If you could figure out how to do it free standing and not on a wall, yeah, okay, because they do.
Yeah, thank you, Justin. But I'm listening to you now. As far as I know, those aren't possible outside. I've heard of some that saw The first one I saw was like Coachella with Tupac. Yeah. I was about to say, they've done concerts that were hologram concerts, the Beatles, the Bay else Yeah, and Michael Jackson's anyone don't know Elvis, because I've heard about some deep state like military stuff where they can shoot free student. My son was gotten. Like they're like, maybe we should ask
you your son shouldn't have happened like it. I don't know how you know what I mean? Like, but aliens at the mall, you know? Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems like a really bad hoax. Got your ass because yeah, holo, like, yeah, you can do that outside. Well, I feel like the government is trying to primise for a fake abduction. Got your ass two times because you can't ride yea like a fake rapture something like that, but they're gonna paint it on the aliens.
Yeah, we all got your ass. So and what if I was the president of the United States, That'd be awesome to be screwed. I'll be turning down Everybody'll be like, we need your money, we need your money. I'm like, yeah, okay, got both your asses. I just say, what do you say myself? I'll just be hitting drops. I'd have justin because you have to be in office with me, Like just what you hit? Dropped to boom? Got your ass? Thanks, justin,
No problem. We got this bill here. We want to pass assault rifles. Got you as No, you have to be like, yeah, we can do that. They're like really, and You're like, no, that would be fun, so fun. I should start with governor, though. I really think I'd make a great governor. Yeah. I mean, I'm at the age now where I'm mature. My brain had been stuck at like sixteen for years, well like eighteen. Well, according to your wife, I can't be around you for you to be mature, because you go off
the rails when we're together. For some reason I don't understand. I heard her talking to this talking, that noise, talking that jive. I don't know what she was talking about because itn't make any sense to me. It didn't make any sense to me. I was like, is Adam here, Like, what's going on? She's speaking English man, it seems very weird. I was like, I don't know what she's talking about. She loves talking shit, that's what she does. So before or after the Valentine's State
carts? Oh yeah, yeah? Because yeah, Look, I think we even talked about on the podcast. I'm sure because we're economical like that. I saw coming forward nice microphones and stuff and camera lenses, Like seriously, I can have this close up macro lenz kit goes to one to four, okay, Or I could buy a card that says I love you honey. Well, some appreciate the cards. And you found a rare gem that likes to be spontaneous like in store card giving. Yep, that's that way.
You can put it back on the shelf and I have to pay for it if you really want to be sneaky, which I think this is what we actually did. We got up to the checkout and I was like, holy shit, this is eight dollars card. Or whatever. Seven other card looked at her. I'm just seven other card. I was like, how about I just give you here and then we just give it to the cashier and she can put back. Yeah, that's what I did. I didn't even
put back myself. Here's the story. You need to do that. We talked about that recently in a group, where like, just if you got stuff, don't just set it on some random shelf because then other people are gonna think it's on sale or something, you know, and then just give it back to the That's you're just practicing what you preach in the meetings. But we save some some dollar bills, y'all. I feel sorry for Parker. Let's go to the store, little Parker, and you want to go
to Disneyland. Let's watch people on YouTube go to Disneyland. Here's your birthday card, but you can't have because we gotta put it back. Yeah, cards are stupid, but he's gonna make it a game. We like, actually this card, Parker. And then on the other side of the stort, now we got to find out where it goes. Can we just give it to the lady, Yes we can, smart boy, take after your daddy. Mommy just puts it back anywhere. I know, I'm that person.
It's hard sometimes anyway, I got to run. But you guys, it was fun coming in here. It's really not a podcast about anything today except Justin's four years congratulations. That's a big thing. And we did have some laughs. So mission accomplished. Let's see so later. Bye. Thanks for listening to the two seventeen Recovery Podcast.
