Well let's let's let's start right there, why don't we? Okay,
So we asked people to submit questions for this podcast
for you and Damon, and there were an overwhelming amount.
I do have some questions here, but there were an
overwhelming amount of questions about one thing, and that's Winnie's
crush on Maddie that she won't admit now that she's
in a committed relationship. Now friendly married, You're happily married,
(01:04):
so that nothing's going to happen. But people sense this
some kind of crush or something we have.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We have just a nice little rapport between us, I think, right, Maddie, exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, exactly what the company and winning and I don't
think it's one of us. I'm sitting next to her,
and I'm just curious if that's where all the blushing
and the shitty and grim comes from. Oh my god,
I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, yeah, look I can see it right now.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
What kind of relationship is she and.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Have a boyfriend?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, it's serious, it's boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's a boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, yeah, well it was a girlfriend last year.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
All right, we don't have to go. That was a
dark time.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I just want to be Yeah, she was gay for
six months.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah right, unlike you just it was gay for this
day exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No, no, never, yeah, never.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Never.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But actually, speaking of that, let's talk about this since
we're talking about, you know, recovery. You guys are all
former recovery. You all were once drug addicts. Respectfully, Justin
told a story publicly that when he was in the
depths of his addiction, like bought like rock bottom he should.
(02:10):
I want to see if this is like even shocking
for you guys, because you guys had been through all
of it. And he told a story where he was
getting ready, oh ready for this? Now he was he
could not he had no money to get high, and
he was itching Itchin for a high. Okay, so he
knew a friend who was engaging in homosexual activities to
(02:31):
get money to get high. So it was where a
man that was gay would pay the man to pleasure hand.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He didn't do the sucking he would.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So Justin said I would never do that. Well, fast
forward a few weeks later, Justin needed money, so Justin
hit up that guy and said, hey, do you have
that guy's number? And he' said, oh, I got you.
So Justin hits up the gay man that wants to
perform setual acts on him one hundred bucks, and he
(03:04):
set up a time for the man to come to
his home and suck his dick.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Whoa and then.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Okay, well, yeah we're on it. It's it's we're not
on the.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Radio when he finished the story though.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You almost finished it too. But anyways, so the guy
gets there and Justin goes get here you want to go?
And the guy left.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Okay, it happened a little more context. Okay, I did
not do it. That's the honest of God's truth. I
almost did. But the guy get out of the car
right and it was like a nineteen eighties Mercedes. And
when he got out and started walking, it was dark
with eleven o'clock at night. You have see Seinfeld, I
have Okay, you know Newman the mail Gun.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
That's what he looked like.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
He looked just like Newman.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And so he started walking in front of my house,
and there was some bushes it and once I got
a clear view, I panicked and I started yelling, yeah,
it got it. And he turned around and rank on
his car and left. That's how honestly got.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
To That's how I mean that. Really, there's a couple
of things I'd like to talk about real quick. First
of all, I'd like to start with to answer a question.
Twenty bucks is twenty bucks. So no, it doesn't shock
me soever. But I'm just curious if it was you know,
maybe a little bit more of a fit guy. You know,
maybe you look like Maddie is. And what we been
telling a different story right now is all I'm curious about.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
There's a chance, yes, okay, it was just because he
was bigger that you weren't into it.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I mean, it just he just was creepy looking. He
was creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You gotta see, Maddie, he doesn't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Maddie, are looking kind of good over it?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do you worry about me anymore? Matt, You gotta worry
about He's a lot closer than I am could.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But the answer for you guys, Maddie and Damon, I
don't want you to admit to doing anything.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Should here real low.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
That's a never no, it never's turn into yet. But seriously,
if you want to go real serious, people have to
do that to get off e which it's we're laughing
and joking and stuff. But when somebody's in that, there's
nothing funny about that, and people do what they have
to do. Me, I've been blessed where that's never happened
(05:15):
to me.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yet.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
There's aught yet, right, they could come a day unlikely.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Well unlikely, hopefully I never pick up, you know, so
I don't have to do any yet. There's a couple
yet still for me, a couple of people do that
and won't do this, or do that or won't do that.
But in the end, once you clean up and you
start doing work on yourself, you have to now look
at that and deal with that. And that's the serious part, right,
(05:44):
this disease exactly.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah, you're out of it.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
We can laugh joke this that, but right now somebody's
going through dealing with that. Somebody's waking up this morning.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
That's what they're going to be.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Selling, their selling their body, selling their body.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
It's serious.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
It's a good point.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Somebody's stealing from their grandmother right now.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Somebody's waking up, using it against their will and doing
something that they.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Would never do sober or clean. Never you have two
different people, it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
And everybody has a different low, right what I know
about rock bottoms and lows, and these two will admit
to it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
There's always a trap to us.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
You think you're there, and then next week you go,
oh my god, I thought I was low last week.
I just did this this week. It's never ending.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I went to Shine Down this weekend at the Garden,
brought my son first concert, you know, And so I'm
there and I'm telling my friend that i'm with about
a story when I started working at Kiss one of eight.
I went to my first jingle ball probably twenty and eleven,
twenty twelve, and I'm backstage and I'm walking around. I
just started there. I don't really know anybody. And I
walked by one of the ushers at the garden and
(06:57):
he stops me and he goes Justin, and it looked
and it was my old probation officer, okay, and he
couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So this guy was my probation officer for years. And
I had gotten arrested one time and I was being
held on a sixty day hold. So I'm in jail
and I had this girlfriend that I wanted to get
out and be with. I was in love, right, I
strung out like a research monkey. But I'm in jail
and I want to get out, and I'm writing letters
and calling her. I'm gonna come out. We're gonna be together.
So I write this heartfelt letter to the probation officer,
(07:25):
how I'm going to change. I hit rock bottom. This
was it. And I show up to court thinking I'm
getting out. So I get to court and I'm in
the bullpen and they call my name.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I stand up.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The court was packed with people, and so the probation
officer gets up and he goes, Okay, Judge, I just
want to read a letter here that Justin sent me,
and he starts reading my heartfelt letter out loud, and
while he's reading it right when he his voice is
cracking because he wants to laugh, right, And then the
whole courtroom starts laughing at me. Yeah, he like embarrassed
(07:55):
me because he was so sick.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Of my shit.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, I didn't get out. I didn't get out rough Well, dude, yeah,
I thought that was my rock bottom. That's why I
bring up the story. I was like, this is it
and then it isn't.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So it's like an elevator, man, you can always go
down a couple more floors, you know, yes, yet so
so we like to call them yet because it's eligible too.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Oh I never heard that.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Well, I've been cleaned seventeen years and I've never heard there's.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So much deeper than you are justin I guess I
couldn't that you can.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Get off the elevator on any floor though.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
There's another way. We found it another way.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And you know, Maddie, obviously we work closely with you
and Power Recovery and Damon and for people that need
help or looking for help for themselves or someone else,
they can go where.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Power of Recovery dot org Damon, Oh, I don't remember
any of that.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
That's pretty easy.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Not for me.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's the dog pot that throws them off. A lot
of people think it's just a dot com, but.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Now everybody on this podcast kind of think it. I
just had it locked down.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Dot org is actually you've seen more of like over
the covernment.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Do we not look official?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
When he looks so official?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You had hip surgery? How's the hip doing?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
New hip? Yeah? You look good, I'm home mom, like
a week away from a limp? No limp.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You weren't limping that way.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He didn't seem like, okay, you got it?
Speaker 5 (09:17):

Speaker 3 (09:20):
He did?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:21):

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I think he's practically got his dance and shoes on
pretty much.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah, Okay, has he been?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Has he been moody?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Damon?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I mean faceline, thank you, thank you, because apparently you
know him fairly well. I don't think the hip surgery
had anything to do with the movie.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
He's got a lot of his plate. He got a
lot of plate.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's all loved.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
He really does. Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So you have Power of Recovery, which is a day
treatment center in Revere.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Hmm okay, and then you have what else right now?
Up and running is Chelsea's House.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Sober Living and that's how many houses twelve?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I think there's two hundred and thirty five beds.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
For female the rescue do the.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Math for male We're in Chelsea, Lynn, East, Boston, Malden
and we've been doing that what thirteen years?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, you started with that.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Yeah, we did that thirteen years. And then in Danvas
we have opening up for adolescents. Oh, adolescent mental health?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Is that open or opening?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
It's open? It should be open in September. Hope Can
I come there?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Yeah? Please? I do for the kids man, the children?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Yeah, yeah, we hope. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Because when I was when I was coming up, you know,
I was committed to dys When I was fourteen, I
was in and out of youth programs and I just remember,
like all the programs that I was in, although they
didn't work for me, it was things that I heard
in those programs, the people that came in and spoke.
It didn't work, but I heard what they were saying,
so that later on it kind of all came together.
So it's so important to get the message out, even
(10:54):
if they're not ready. We hope that they are. You
never know, you never know when it's gonna come.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, can I ask you guys? I know, justin theddiction
start when he was legit like fourteen. But with you guys,
did it start in your adolescents? Because I feel like
that's where a lot of it does start, so you
can get to children.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
You know, And mine started like two years before I
was born.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I don't even think he's.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Gonna die with it.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, I'm just trying to keep it contained.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, that's it.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Everybody starts different. Yeah, it's when you start acting out.
Damon started with gambling. Mine started with stealing and smoking cigarette, right,
you know?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, I want to hear a quick one winning. When
I got clean, there was a guy in the meetings
that I really looked up to. I heard him speak.
He was very profound speaker. He had, you know, ten
plus years in recovery, and so I would listen to
him speak over several meetings and I was like, Wow,
this guy's really great. I would talk to him here
and then I didn't know his story, and then one
day he was at a meeting and he told his story.
Get this never touched a drink of alcohol or drugs
(11:51):
until he was in his late twenties. Wow, he started
smoking weed, which is the only drug he had ever done.
He smoked weed for six months. His life became completely unmanageable,
and he went into recovery and had been cleaned from
just smoking weed for six months.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Good for him, But dam and I actually want to
ask you because you know, we talked to the guys
a lot about theirs. You were a gambler first, Yeah,
So did you have an addiction to gambling?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, yeah, I had. I would say have always a
work in progress, but yeah, that was kind of like
the first way things showed up for me. Like back
back when I was a kid, if I might age myself,
you could go to the store and you know, get
cigarettes and lottery tickets and stuff. It was a neighborhood,
small neighborhood store. And when I was a kid, the
(12:38):
very first, the most thing, the thing I remember the
most is I found a scratch ticket and it was
a winner. So when I dropped on the ground, it
was a forty dollar winner. And I went to the
store and I cashed it and I ran through the
entire forty doll was trying to win more Money's the
most ridiculous, Like we're talking when I was a kid,
forty dollars was Yeah, it was you know, it's like
a kid. Yeah, it's like a kid finding the scene
(13:00):
to something nowadays, you know what I mean. And so
that was like right away, I should have owned I
should have the sign posters right there, like I had
found a free forty dollars on the ground and and
I flipped it into you know, being a degenerate and
uh yeah, So it's it's just progressive. It was always
ways to kind of escape, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So do you stay away from Encore?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, I try to.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I mean, if I'm honest with you, I struggle with it,
you know, more than i'd like to. But yeah, I
mean it's it's been. It's been tough. It's it's OnCore
being his like marijuana becoming legal rights, it's the same thing.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
For me.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I'm good. I ain't picking up marijuana. I'm pretty confident
about that. I have enough. But the gambling has always
been something that's like just been there and I'll put
it down for a bit, and you know, but for me,
it's like anything else it's complete abstinence. That's the only
for me, that's my pathway. There's many ways for people
to to to you know, battle the addiction and in
(13:56):
the substanitute and and find ways around it, but for me,
it's complete. Apps.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, gambling now is on your phone, you know, with
DraftKings and all that, and then you go to any
convenience store, grocery store, the scratch tickets, powerball so like
that actually is probably just as tough as alcohol, yes,
you know, because it's so accessible and.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's not really like terribly frowned upon, right, Yeah, just
like everyone likes get scratchy.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's legal, Yeah, it's legal, Yeah, for sure. Maddie, would
you have a question here for you? And damon if
you if you take it.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Hey, guys, I have a question for Maddy with power
of recovery. I've been in that on again off again
relationship with a guy that has been sober for thirteen
years now but still struggles with emotional regulation. We've been
dating for over a year now, but he's lately said
that my alcohol cannabis use is something that's hard for him.
Although he said that it wasn't a big deal in
the beginning, can you provide any advice for navigating a
(14:46):
relationship where one person is sober and the other one isn't.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yikes, tough one.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yeah. At first I thought that was talking about you.
I thought your wife had called in the emotional relation.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
But she's she's a sat My wife is a legit saint.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Oh yeah, she is, I know her. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
So basically it wasn't an issue in the beginning of
the relationship, but now it is an issue later on.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah. Yeah, So I can speak as a guy who's
been in a relationship with someone who I would call
a civilian if you don't mind any sure for me,
And I was early on in recovery, I was fine
with it. It didn't bother me. I don't know if
it would now it doesn't really, So I think each
persons different, but at this point in time, you know
(15:32):
it's impact in that person. So I think it's important
in a relationship if you if you care about your potna,
to really look into that, and you got to make,
you know, an informed decision, right like should I should?
I say, is it worth it for me to step back?
Do I really want to spend my time with this guy?
And and you know, potentially put down the alcohol and
(15:53):
in the marijuana in this case, and you know, focus
my energy on on, you know, living the way he's living.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
If I may add as a civilian, I don't, I'm not.
I mean, I like edible here and there, but I
don't really indulge in drinking. I'm not. It's never really
been my thing. Justsic cantest. I'm always a sober buddy
at at our parties and stuff, and it doesn't bother me.
I mean, and I think if this girl really loves
this guy.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
If she's not an addict, it's not an addict.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Like and because I'm not right, if I was dating somebody,
I'll be okay, Like, yeah, I like edibles, but I
don't need them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I get a lot of people in my life.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah, that one is in the program and one is
a casual drinker.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, it works, it works. If that became a problem.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I know these people, that person would just stop once
you stop, if you have to think if you're an
alcoholic or not, probably yeh.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well of her calling in asking, hey, my cannabis use
in my alcohol is becoming an issue for him, and
you're saying I don't you know, I gotta figure out
if it's he's a problem on the problem, then maybe
the alcohol and the weed is the problem.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Once you have to try and put something under control, Yeah,
it's out of control.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well that it begs further questions, Right, is it getting
out of control for her and that's why he's concerned?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Or is he being a baby?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Right? Could be right because again she might be able
if she does it once a week, like you know.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Oh, I'm sorry, it's all right.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
The other part of.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That too, right, is at the end of the day,
maybe you know what I mean, she's the other part
of the question is does she love him right or
is she like all right, yeah, like this thing's ran
its course and right and the ability because because listen,
at the end of it, I can't do any of
that stuff socially, and maybe she can. But maybe he's
different at this point in time, so how it didn't
impact him before it does now? And then she goes okay, well, yeah,
(17:43):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm just well, I think if you're looking at a
deeper relationship where there's you know, getting married, getting engaged,
living together, like that's this their lifestyles. Do you guys
share the same lifestyle. Are you okay having two separate lifestyles?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You know it comes down to that.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Really.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It also like can't be too much fun when you
go out with somebody regularly and they're drinking and you're not,
or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I just feel like when you're around people that you know,
smoke and drink that are normal civilians, if you will,
you're on a different plane, do you know what I mean?
Like you're not you're not drinking, you're not smoking weed, right,
so you're a different place.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
You know what's great? When he just all of this
and damon on all of this.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
When myself and my wife go out to dinner, there's
no drinks on the bill. Once we bring another couple
and they had drinkers the bill like quadrubles.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Of course, what do you do? Wait, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
He pays for it?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Do you pay for it? Well you split it or whatever.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Whatever however it is. I just look and I'm like,
whow half the bill is drink?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's so true though, Like my boyfriend doesn't really drink
and I don't really drink, and I noticed the first
few dates we each got a drink just to get
a drink, and I know its through both babysitting and drinks.
So like the third date, I got like a coke
and then he got sprite and we have never drank again.
And I brought up to him and he goes, oh,
like a couple of years ago, I got really hungover
and I just like, don't like how I feel. So
(19:03):
he was like, I just don't really drink unless like
he's with the boys, he might have like a drink
or two. But I just thought it was funny. And
we literally are fifty dollars couple. Like our bill and
we go to eat is like fifty bucks sixty bucks
because we're not drinking, like you know what I mean.
But if you drink, that's literally another forty dollars if
you each get a drink.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
The only downside to not drinking and you go out,
especially with your wife or your girlfriend, is we're in
and out with chew and screw because people drink and
it takes a lot of time to hang out. We
literally get our food, eat and then we're out.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah. It's actually the only thing I think about the
biggest thing of the thing I think about the most
is the waitress. I'm like, oh, she hates us because
we're not drinking the billion getting run up because you
know we're good. Tippi is right, like you know what
I mean, it's standard operating procedure for us. You start
and then with twenty percent you have to really do
something wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I always say that, Yeah, yeah, they get annoyed.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, then you and your bill, like they know, like
your bill would be one hundred and fifty two hundred
easy for the two you see.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I don't like care because I was a server and
it's easier because you're flipping the table, so like, it
doesn't marriage me. It might be a quick or twenty
dollars tip, but you're in and out. You're not gonna
sit like that to me is better. I'd actually rather
that than the people that sit and have.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Two drinks on the appetizer. What make.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Desserts? Like it is all relative because those people don't
Those people that drink don't get They're like, oh, I'm
gonna have a drink. I'm not gonna have a dessert.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's like, all right up, yeah, I'm going to have
a drink.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Voice No, but you like the girls, like you know,
I have a liquid dessert. I think I have a
stress on my tini. All right, then just get the
fucking cookie bitch.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Whoa she was a server?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You really?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
The cookie bitch will literally sit and eat the cookie
and leave the express of Martini. Girl's gonna sip on
her express Tomontini for an hour.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, she can't leave with it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
My point is, I want you to to unscrew turn
the table, bitch. I need more the tables if you
want to.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Dip the cookie in the express on Martini.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I guess they could do that too. They could do both.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Dam and you're sitting next to somebody that's winning. But
when she was a server, you know, they or someone
old our burger and fry so she could go get
it in the kitchen and then she would take a
fry and eat it on the way to deliver the food.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, I mean you, no, I didn't didn't.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Wait, if you can't admit that he almost submitted to filatio, Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
My point was if I did not touch the fry,
the fries that were staying on the plate, and I
just daintily took one on top, it's like it didn't
exist because I didn't touch their food.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I just touched you would be a good addict, you know,
one hundreds Like would you take a bite of mashed potato?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
No, I didn't even use.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Like calamari, Like I take a little one at the top.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
It's different than a fry, winning fry or.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Calamari, something that you could just really quick take off.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Would you use it? Duncan sauce?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Are you sure I'm not trash?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Not like the cookie bitch?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, no, no, no morel the espresso martini bitch.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
No, it was worse the express of martini bitch and
a cookie bitch. Who'd you say?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
She already Stini bitch. The cookie bitch is gonna eat
her cookie and go home.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
When I identify with that.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
When he is the best person to go out to
eat with, especially when she's not paying. She'll order everything
on the menu. It's the best. She literally orders everything
right for the whole table.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Justin. This is what Justin hides behind me, which is
what I fucking hate. So we go to you is
a show like you know, couples, friends, whatever. So that
was about probably eight to ten of us ninety nine
point nine percent of the time bill costs will pay right,
and I know this, or we will all or be
comped because everyone knows Bill right. So we might go
somewhere where they know Bill and they might give us
(22:38):
like half the bill for free or whatever. So I
always dibble and dabble and think what would I get?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
What I want to get?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
What would I want to get? But I wouldn't pay
for right.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
You can't come out to the exact person that you
believe they grab.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
The time.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Wait, wait first, and then get this.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
This is the problem. This is what I hate is
I will just start oring for the table some apps,
you know, shared stuff. Justin would never do that, but
he'll say to me, hey, hey, what are we going
to get?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
All right?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, and then I'll say when he's got it, like
when you's gonna take care of it?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
We talked about him.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I literally look like the bitch. That's just and then
Justin and Jen will start a house and whenever comes
on the table.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
That's a power movie. You can't fault them just laying
back inspect movie. That's us doing what we do.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I respect it, but I also like respect.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Me for I respect.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I'm giving you your flowers right now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You should see it's a scene She's like, I'll take this,
I'll take that, I'll take this.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I actually say, I will listen. You don't even have
to do that with him. He's solid, like he's the best.
You go out there and he he's like, guys, you
want to start with some apps. He does the whole
thing for you. Soul Justin is the best power. Right.
I've been going out to you with him for I
don't know, fifteen years whatever, it's it's been a long time.
(24:04):
And uh And anytime I ever go to make an
attempt to reach intil he goes, oh, what are you
going to do? Ruin a perfect record? Every every time
he goes, I'm one hundred and ninety seven, and all meals,
why don't you just like, why do you even attempt?
It's the best, dude. I still feign the attempt. I
got my little alligated arms trying to reach.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
In the Bill just Justin'll be oh, Bill, you need
anything for the Bill? And Bill's like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Because the person on the spot, and that my biggest fear,
because it's my biggest pet peeve in a restaurant is
when the bill comes, somebody else grabs.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
It and then they start doing fucking mad I get off.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I don't, I don't. Just get me out out of
this table. It's freaking me out now.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, my hey.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
My second favorite thing is every once in a while,
I'll be like, all right, yeah, go ahead, like you
want to be a tough guy, and then I'll go okay,

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I mean both, it's the one two punch right in
your face.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well let's let's let's start right there, why don't we? Okay,
So we asked people to submit questions for this podcast
for you and Damon, and there were an overwhelming amount.
I do have some questions here, but there were an
overwhelming amount of questions about one thing, and that's Winnie's
crush on Maddie that she won't admit now that she's
in a committed relationship. Now friendly married, You're happily married,
(01:04):
so that nothing's going to happen. But people sense this
some kind of crush or something we have.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We have just a nice little rapport between us, I think, right, Maddie, exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, exactly what the company and winning and I don't
think it's one of us. I'm sitting next to her,
and I'm just curious if that's where all the blushing
and the shitty and grim comes from. Oh my god,
I'm just curious.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, yeah, look I can see it right now.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
What kind of relationship is she and.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Have a boyfriend?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, it's serious, it's boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's a boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, yeah, well it was a girlfriend last year.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
All right, we don't have to go. That was a
dark time.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I just want to be Yeah, she was gay for
six months.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah right, unlike you just it was gay for this
day exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No, no, never, yeah, never.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Never.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But actually, speaking of that, let's talk about this since
we're talking about, you know, recovery. You guys are all
former recovery. You all were once drug addicts. Respectfully, Justin
told a story publicly that when he was in the
depths of his addiction, like bought like rock bottom he should.
(02:10):
I want to see if this is like even shocking
for you guys, because you guys had been through all
of it. And he told a story where he was
getting ready, oh ready for this? Now he was he
could not he had no money to get high, and
he was itching Itchin for a high. Okay, so he
knew a friend who was engaging in homosexual activities to
(02:31):
get money to get high. So it was where a
man that was gay would pay the man to pleasure hand.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He didn't do the sucking he would.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So Justin said I would never do that. Well, fast
forward a few weeks later, Justin needed money, so Justin
hit up that guy and said, hey, do you have
that guy's number? And he' said, oh, I got you.
So Justin hits up the gay man that wants to
perform setual acts on him one hundred bucks, and he
(03:04):
set up a time for the man to come to
his home and suck his dick.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Whoa and then.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Okay, well, yeah we're on it. It's it's we're not
on the.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Radio when he finished the story though.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You almost finished it too. But anyways, so the guy
gets there and Justin goes get here you want to go?
And the guy left.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Okay, it happened a little more context. Okay, I did
not do it. That's the honest of God's truth. I
almost did. But the guy get out of the car
right and it was like a nineteen eighties Mercedes. And
when he got out and started walking, it was dark
with eleven o'clock at night. You have see Seinfeld, I
have Okay, you know Newman the mail Gun.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
That's what he looked like.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
He looked just like Newman.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And so he started walking in front of my house,
and there was some bushes it and once I got
a clear view, I panicked and I started yelling, yeah,
it got it. And he turned around and rank on
his car and left. That's how honestly got.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
To That's how I mean that. Really, there's a couple
of things I'd like to talk about real quick. First
of all, I'd like to start with to answer a question.
Twenty bucks is twenty bucks. So no, it doesn't shock
me soever. But I'm just curious if it was you know,
maybe a little bit more of a fit guy. You know,
maybe you look like Maddie is. And what we been
telling a different story right now is all I'm curious about.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
There's a chance, yes, okay, it was just because he
was bigger that you weren't into it.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I mean, it just he just was creepy looking. He
was creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You gotta see, Maddie, he doesn't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Maddie, are looking kind of good over it?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Do you worry about me anymore? Matt, You gotta worry
about He's a lot closer than I am could.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But the answer for you guys, Maddie and Damon, I
don't want you to admit to doing anything.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Should here real low.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
That's a never no, it never's turn into yet. But seriously,
if you want to go real serious, people have to
do that to get off e which it's we're laughing
and joking and stuff. But when somebody's in that, there's
nothing funny about that, and people do what they have
to do. Me, I've been blessed where that's never happened
(05:15):
to me.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yet.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
There's aught yet, right, they could come a day unlikely.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Well unlikely, hopefully I never pick up, you know, so
I don't have to do any yet. There's a couple
yet still for me, a couple of people do that
and won't do this, or do that or won't do that.
But in the end, once you clean up and you
start doing work on yourself, you have to now look
at that and deal with that. And that's the serious part, right,
(05:44):
this disease exactly.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Yeah, you're out of it.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
We can laugh joke this that, but right now somebody's
going through dealing with that. Somebody's waking up this morning.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
That's what they're going to be.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Selling, their selling their body, selling their body.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
It's serious.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
It's a good point.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Somebody's stealing from their grandmother right now.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Somebody's waking up, using it against their will and doing
something that they.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Would never do sober or clean. Never you have two
different people, it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
And everybody has a different low, right what I know
about rock bottoms and lows, and these two will admit
to it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
There's always a trap to us.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
You think you're there, and then next week you go,
oh my god, I thought I was low last week.
I just did this this week. It's never ending.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I went to Shine Down this weekend at the Garden,
brought my son first concert, you know, And so I'm
there and I'm telling my friend that i'm with about
a story when I started working at Kiss one of eight.
I went to my first jingle ball probably twenty and eleven,
twenty twelve, and I'm backstage and I'm walking around. I
just started there. I don't really know anybody. And I
walked by one of the ushers at the garden and
(06:57):
he stops me and he goes Justin, and it looked
and it was my old probation officer, okay, and he
couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So this guy was my probation officer for years. And
I had gotten arrested one time and I was being
held on a sixty day hold. So I'm in jail
and I had this girlfriend that I wanted to get
out and be with. I was in love, right, I
strung out like a research monkey. But I'm in jail
and I want to get out, and I'm writing letters
and calling her. I'm gonna come out. We're gonna be together.
So I write this heartfelt letter to the probation officer,
(07:25):
how I'm going to change. I hit rock bottom. This
was it. And I show up to court thinking I'm
getting out. So I get to court and I'm in
the bullpen and they call my name.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I stand up.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The court was packed with people, and so the probation
officer gets up and he goes, Okay, Judge, I just
want to read a letter here that Justin sent me,
and he starts reading my heartfelt letter out loud, and
while he's reading it right when he his voice is
cracking because he wants to laugh, right, And then the
whole courtroom starts laughing at me. Yeah, he like embarrassed
(07:55):
me because he was so sick.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Of my shit.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, I didn't get out. I didn't get out rough Well, dude, yeah,
I thought that was my rock bottom. That's why I
bring up the story. I was like, this is it
and then it isn't.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So it's like an elevator, man, you can always go
down a couple more floors, you know, yes, yet so
so we like to call them yet because it's eligible too.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Oh I never heard that.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Well, I've been cleaned seventeen years and I've never heard there's.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So much deeper than you are justin I guess I
couldn't that you can.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Get off the elevator on any floor though.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
There's another way. We found it another way.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And you know, Maddie, obviously we work closely with you
and Power Recovery and Damon and for people that need
help or looking for help for themselves or someone else,
they can go where.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Power of Recovery dot org Damon, Oh, I don't remember
any of that.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
That's pretty easy.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Not for me.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's the dog pot that throws them off. A lot
of people think it's just a dot com, but.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Now everybody on this podcast kind of think it. I
just had it locked down.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Dot org is actually you've seen more of like over
the covernment.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Do we not look official?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
When he looks so official?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
You had hip surgery? How's the hip doing?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
New hip? Yeah? You look good, I'm home mom, like
a week away from a limp? No limp.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You weren't limping that way.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He didn't seem like, okay, you got it?
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Did really? Yeah? Did I have a cane last?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
He did?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He did.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I think he's practically got his dance and shoes on
pretty much.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah, Okay, has he been?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Has he been moody?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Damon?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I mean faceline, thank you, thank you, because apparently you
know him fairly well. I don't think the hip surgery
had anything to do with the movie.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
He's got a lot of his plate. He got a
lot of plate.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's all loved.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
He really does. Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So you have Power of Recovery, which is a day
treatment center in Revere.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Hmm okay, and then you have what else right now?
Up and running is Chelsea's House.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Sober Living and that's how many houses twelve?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I think there's two hundred and thirty five beds.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
For female the rescue do the.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Math for male We're in Chelsea, Lynn, East, Boston, Malden
and we've been doing that what thirteen years?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, you started with that.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Yeah, we did that thirteen years. And then in Danvas
we have opening up for adolescents. Oh, adolescent mental health?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Is that open or opening?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
It's open? It should be open in September. Hope Can
I come there?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Yeah? Please? I do for the kids man, the children?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Yeah, yeah, we hope. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Because when I was when I was coming up, you know,
I was committed to dys When I was fourteen, I
was in and out of youth programs and I just remember,
like all the programs that I was in, although they
didn't work for me, it was things that I heard
in those programs, the people that came in and spoke.
It didn't work, but I heard what they were saying,
so that later on it kind of all came together.
So it's so important to get the message out, even
(10:54):
if they're not ready. We hope that they are. You
never know, you never know when it's gonna come.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, can I ask you guys? I know, justin theddiction
start when he was legit like fourteen. But with you guys,
did it start in your adolescents? Because I feel like
that's where a lot of it does start, so you
can get to children.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
You know, And mine started like two years before I
was born.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I don't even think he's.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Gonna die with it.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, I'm just trying to keep it contained.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, that's it.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Everybody starts different. Yeah, it's when you start acting out.
Damon started with gambling. Mine started with stealing and smoking cigarette, right,
you know?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, I want to hear a quick one winning. When
I got clean, there was a guy in the meetings
that I really looked up to. I heard him speak.
He was very profound speaker. He had, you know, ten
plus years in recovery, and so I would listen to
him speak over several meetings and I was like, Wow,
this guy's really great. I would talk to him here
and then I didn't know his story, and then one
day he was at a meeting and he told his story.
Get this never touched a drink of alcohol or drugs
(11:51):
until he was in his late twenties. Wow, he started
smoking weed, which is the only drug he had ever done.
He smoked weed for six months. His life became completely unmanageable,
and he went into recovery and had been cleaned from
just smoking weed for six months.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Good for him, But dam and I actually want to
ask you because you know, we talked to the guys
a lot about theirs. You were a gambler first, Yeah,
So did you have an addiction to gambling?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, yeah, I had. I would say have always a
work in progress, but yeah, that was kind of like
the first way things showed up for me. Like back
back when I was a kid, if I might age myself,
you could go to the store and you know, get
cigarettes and lottery tickets and stuff. It was a neighborhood,
small neighborhood store. And when I was a kid, the
(12:38):
very first, the most thing, the thing I remember the
most is I found a scratch ticket and it was
a winner. So when I dropped on the ground, it
was a forty dollar winner. And I went to the
store and I cashed it and I ran through the
entire forty doll was trying to win more Money's the
most ridiculous, Like we're talking when I was a kid,
forty dollars was Yeah, it was you know, it's like
a kid. Yeah, it's like a kid finding the scene
(13:00):
to something nowadays, you know what I mean. And so
that was like right away, I should have owned I
should have the sign posters right there, like I had
found a free forty dollars on the ground and and
I flipped it into you know, being a degenerate and
uh yeah, So it's it's just progressive. It was always
ways to kind of escape, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
So do you stay away from Encore?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, I try to.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I mean, if I'm honest with you, I struggle with it,
you know, more than i'd like to. But yeah, I
mean it's it's been. It's been tough. It's it's OnCore
being his like marijuana becoming legal rights, it's the same thing.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
For me.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I'm good. I ain't picking up marijuana. I'm pretty confident
about that. I have enough. But the gambling has always
been something that's like just been there and I'll put
it down for a bit, and you know, but for me,
it's like anything else it's complete abstinence. That's the only
for me, that's my pathway. There's many ways for people
to to to you know, battle the addiction and in
(13:56):
the substanitute and and find ways around it, but for me,
it's complete. Apps.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, gambling now is on your phone, you know, with
DraftKings and all that, and then you go to any
convenience store, grocery store, the scratch tickets, powerball so like
that actually is probably just as tough as alcohol, yes,
you know, because it's so accessible and.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's not really like terribly frowned upon, right, Yeah, just
like everyone likes get scratchy.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That's legal, Yeah, it's legal, Yeah, for sure. Maddie, would
you have a question here for you? And damon if
you if you take it.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Hey, guys, I have a question for Maddy with power
of recovery. I've been in that on again off again
relationship with a guy that has been sober for thirteen
years now but still struggles with emotional regulation. We've been
dating for over a year now, but he's lately said
that my alcohol cannabis use is something that's hard for him.
Although he said that it wasn't a big deal in
the beginning, can you provide any advice for navigating a
(14:46):
relationship where one person is sober and the other one isn't.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yikes, tough one.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yeah. At first I thought that was talking about you.
I thought your wife had called in the emotional relation.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
But she's she's a sat My wife is a legit saint.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Oh yeah, she is, I know her. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
So basically it wasn't an issue in the beginning of
the relationship, but now it is an issue later on.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah. Yeah, So I can speak as a guy who's
been in a relationship with someone who I would call
a civilian if you don't mind any sure for me,
And I was early on in recovery, I was fine
with it. It didn't bother me. I don't know if
it would now it doesn't really, So I think each
persons different, but at this point in time, you know
(15:32):
it's impact in that person. So I think it's important
in a relationship if you if you care about your potna,
to really look into that, and you got to make,
you know, an informed decision, right like should I should?
I say, is it worth it for me to step back?
Do I really want to spend my time with this guy?
And and you know, potentially put down the alcohol and
(15:53):
in the marijuana in this case, and you know, focus
my energy on on, you know, living the way he's living.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
If I may add as a civilian, I don't, I'm not.
I mean, I like edible here and there, but I
don't really indulge in drinking. I'm not. It's never really
been my thing. Justsic cantest. I'm always a sober buddy
at at our parties and stuff, and it doesn't bother me.
I mean, and I think if this girl really loves
this guy.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
If she's not an addict, it's not an addict.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Like and because I'm not right, if I was dating somebody,
I'll be okay, Like, yeah, I like edibles, but I
don't need them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I get a lot of people in my life.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah, that one is in the program and one is
a casual drinker.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, it works, it works. If that became a problem.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I know these people, that person would just stop once
you stop, if you have to think if you're an
alcoholic or not, probably yeh.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well of her calling in asking, hey, my cannabis use
in my alcohol is becoming an issue for him, and
you're saying I don't you know, I gotta figure out
if it's he's a problem on the problem, then maybe
the alcohol and the weed is the problem.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Once you have to try and put something under control, Yeah,
it's out of control.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Well that it begs further questions, Right, is it getting
out of control for her and that's why he's concerned?
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Or is he being a baby?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Right? Could be right because again she might be able
if she does it once a week, like you know.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Oh, I'm sorry, it's all right.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
The other part of.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That too, right, is at the end of the day,
maybe you know what I mean, she's the other part
of the question is does she love him right or
is she like all right, yeah, like this thing's ran
its course and right and the ability because because listen,
at the end of it, I can't do any of
that stuff socially, and maybe she can. But maybe he's
different at this point in time, so how it didn't
impact him before it does now? And then she goes okay, well, yeah,
(17:43):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm just well, I think if you're looking at a
deeper relationship where there's you know, getting married, getting engaged,
living together, like that's this their lifestyles. Do you guys
share the same lifestyle. Are you okay having two separate lifestyles?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You know it comes down to that.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Really.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It also like can't be too much fun when you
go out with somebody regularly and they're drinking and you're not,
or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I just feel like when you're around people that you know,
smoke and drink that are normal civilians, if you will,
you're on a different plane, do you know what I mean?
Like you're not you're not drinking, you're not smoking weed, right,
so you're a different place.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
You know what's great? When he just all of this
and damon on all of this.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
When myself and my wife go out to dinner, there's
no drinks on the bill. Once we bring another couple
and they had drinkers the bill like quadrubles.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Of course, what do you do? Wait, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
He pays for it?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Do you pay for it? Well you split it or whatever.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Whatever however it is. I just look and I'm like,
whow half the bill is drink?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's so true though, Like my boyfriend doesn't really drink
and I don't really drink, and I noticed the first
few dates we each got a drink just to get
a drink, and I know its through both babysitting and drinks.
So like the third date, I got like a coke
and then he got sprite and we have never drank again.
And I brought up to him and he goes, oh,
like a couple of years ago, I got really hungover
and I just like, don't like how I feel. So
(19:03):
he was like, I just don't really drink unless like
he's with the boys, he might have like a drink
or two. But I just thought it was funny. And
we literally are fifty dollars couple. Like our bill and
we go to eat is like fifty bucks sixty bucks
because we're not drinking, like you know what I mean.
But if you drink, that's literally another forty dollars if
you each get a drink.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
The only downside to not drinking and you go out,
especially with your wife or your girlfriend, is we're in
and out with chew and screw because people drink and
it takes a lot of time to hang out. We
literally get our food, eat and then we're out.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah. It's actually the only thing I think about the
biggest thing of the thing I think about the most
is the waitress. I'm like, oh, she hates us because
we're not drinking the billion getting run up because you
know we're good. Tippi is right, like you know what
I mean, it's standard operating procedure for us. You start
and then with twenty percent you have to really do
something wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I always say that, Yeah, yeah, they get annoyed.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, then you and your bill, like they know, like
your bill would be one hundred and fifty two hundred
easy for the two you see.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I don't like care because I was a server and
it's easier because you're flipping the table, so like, it
doesn't marriage me. It might be a quick or twenty
dollars tip, but you're in and out. You're not gonna
sit like that to me is better. I'd actually rather
that than the people that sit and have.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Two drinks on the appetizer. What make.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Desserts? Like it is all relative because those people don't
Those people that drink don't get They're like, oh, I'm
gonna have a drink. I'm not gonna have a dessert.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's like, all right up, yeah, I'm going to have
a drink.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Voice No, but you like the girls, like you know,
I have a liquid dessert. I think I have a
stress on my tini. All right, then just get the
fucking cookie bitch.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Whoa she was a server?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You really?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
The cookie bitch will literally sit and eat the cookie
and leave the express of Martini. Girl's gonna sip on
her express Tomontini for an hour.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, she can't leave with it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
My point is, I want you to to unscrew turn
the table, bitch. I need more the tables if you
want to.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Dip the cookie in the express on Martini.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I guess they could do that too. They could do both.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Dam and you're sitting next to somebody that's winning. But
when she was a server, you know, they or someone
old our burger and fry so she could go get
it in the kitchen and then she would take a
fry and eat it on the way to deliver the food.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well, I mean you, no, I didn't didn't.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Wait, if you can't admit that he almost submitted to filatio, Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
My point was if I did not touch the fry,
the fries that were staying on the plate, and I
just daintily took one on top, it's like it didn't
exist because I didn't touch their food.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I just touched you would be a good addict, you know,
one hundreds Like would you take a bite of mashed potato?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
No, I didn't even use.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Like calamari, Like I take a little one at the top.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
It's different than a fry, winning fry or.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Calamari, something that you could just really quick take off.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Would you use it? Duncan sauce?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Are you sure I'm not trash?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Not like the cookie bitch?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
No, no, no, no morel the espresso martini bitch.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
No, it was worse the express of martini bitch and
a cookie bitch. Who'd you say?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
She already Stini bitch. The cookie bitch is gonna eat
her cookie and go home.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
When I identify with that.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
When he is the best person to go out to
eat with, especially when she's not paying. She'll order everything
on the menu. It's the best. She literally orders everything
right for the whole table.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Justin. This is what Justin hides behind me, which is
what I fucking hate. So we go to you is
a show like you know, couples, friends, whatever. So that
was about probably eight to ten of us ninety nine
point nine percent of the time bill costs will pay right,
and I know this, or we will all or be
comped because everyone knows Bill right. So we might go
somewhere where they know Bill and they might give us
(22:38):
like half the bill for free or whatever. So I
always dibble and dabble and think what would I get?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
What I want to get?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
What would I want to get? But I wouldn't pay
for right.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
You can't come out to the exact person that you
believe they grab.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
The time.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Wait, wait first, and then get this.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
This is the problem. This is what I hate is
I will just start oring for the table some apps,
you know, shared stuff. Justin would never do that, but
he'll say to me, hey, hey, what are we going
to get?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
All right?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, and then I'll say when he's got it, like
when you's gonna take care of it?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
We talked about him.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I literally look like the bitch. That's just and then
Justin and Jen will start a house and whenever comes
on the table.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
That's a power movie. You can't fault them just laying
back inspect movie. That's us doing what we do.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I respect it, but I also like respect.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Me for I respect.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I'm giving you your flowers right now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You should see it's a scene She's like, I'll take this,
I'll take that, I'll take this.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I actually say, I will listen. You don't even have
to do that with him. He's solid, like he's the best.
You go out there and he he's like, guys, you
want to start with some apps. He does the whole
thing for you. Soul Justin is the best power. Right.
I've been going out to you with him for I
don't know, fifteen years whatever, it's it's been a long time.
(24:04):
And uh And anytime I ever go to make an
attempt to reach intil he goes, oh, what are you
going to do? Ruin a perfect record? Every every time
he goes, I'm one hundred and ninety seven, and all meals,
why don't you just like, why do you even attempt?
It's the best, dude. I still feign the attempt. I
got my little alligated arms trying to reach.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
In the Bill just Justin'll be oh, Bill, you need
anything for the Bill? And Bill's like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Because the person on the spot, and that my biggest fear,
because it's my biggest pet peeve in a restaurant is
when the bill comes, somebody else grabs.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
It and then they start doing fucking mad I get off.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I don't, I don't. Just get me out out of
this table. It's freaking me out now.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, my hey.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
My second favorite thing is every once in a while,
I'll be like, all right, yeah, go ahead, like you
want to be a tough guy, and then I'll go okay,
