They also have a website diamondrecovery.com. Also, I wanna get into this real quick before we get to our guest. Me and diamond recovery have collabed and we decided for the new year we're going to do something special. Not sure how the process is going to work but I'm pretty sure you're just going to click on their website and then fill out the form but we want to give away a free scholarship to anybody that's struggling that wants help. You don't have to have insurance, you can have insurance. We're just randomly going to pick one But yeah, that'll be coming up in the next couple weeks. We're gonna give away a full scholarship detox impatient outpatient so believing the whole nine To anybody out there doesn't matter who you are If you want help, we're gonna give away a scholarship. So not sure what all the details and tale so far as to how to sign up, how to which link to go on, but it'll most likely be on diamond recovery.com and you'll fill out the forum. Like I said, you don't have to have insurance. If you do, you can fill out your insurance and whatnot. And I just asked that, you know, you guys, when that time comes, you know, I'm going to make a video about it. So share it, retweet it on Twitter. Do we have to do? We want to help as many people as possible. And like I said, I'm recovery, you know, they have a new residential program. And we're just trying to help at least one person get the help they need. Without further ado, special guests today, my buddy Connor, a little background on Connor, we came friendly on Instagram, seeing that I was sober, we connected, and you know, Connor attends the Tuesday Zoom meetings that we do, and I will say this Connor, before we get into the recovery stuff, you are a Cowboys fan. Are you worried?

Man, I guess a little bit, but I'm, I'm biased. I'm the biggest home where there is. So, you know, I'm going in thinking, no, we're going to cross him. I guess a little worried, but man, the books have not impressed me this season. and no, I think we're going to go in there and we're going to roll Monday night in

Tampa. Yeah, but let's say this. I mean, Brady 7 and 0 right against against the Cowboys. Yeah, he is 7 and 0 and you're dealing with the goat, you know, the undisputed goat, but with that being said, he has not impressed me this season. I think, you know, we're going to play good, we're gonna come ready to play and yeah we're gonna show Brady that he should have stayed retired.

Oh shit, Jesus.

I don't know how The zoo would happen. This episode will probably drop a recording on Friday. So it'll probably drop tonight. So it'll be before the Monday night game. So we get to go back and look and see if Connor was right or not. But Connor, um, you know, you reached out on Instagram, you know, a while back, you've been attending all the Zoom meetings, our private Zoom Tuesday night. First off, how did you, how did you find our page? How did you find me? How did you find the friend of Jerry stuff? Yeah. Well, I'm glad you asked that. I've been a fan of yours, Jerry, for a while now. And I think it was the video, the famous video, you know, I'm gonna, yeah, yeah, we all know that one. And when you started at barstool, actually, you know, did some, did some digging into your, like, old videos with Bob the scores And so I even listened to your stuff before bar stool and just kind of, it just carried over. And yeah, just always just love the energy. And yeah, you know, I actually was listening to your stuff before I got into recovery. So, yeah. It was pretty dope. It was pretty dope. Yeah, I mean, that's how most people like found out about me, I guess, you know, from that crazy video and then millions and millions of views. And then people, you know, they dive in, they click the profile and then they scroll and they, oh, wow, this guy sober, you know. Yeah. So where does your story start, Connor?

What I wanted to do was like,

I'm starting to, I think I want to do this and I mentioned it before on the show, like I did this celebrity rounds and I have a couple other people lined up, like the famous people and whatnot, but I kind of wanted to get into like, normal guys, man, like me and you the people in our group and you know putting their story out there and I think it'll help a lot of

people and I think a lot of people could relate. Normal guys man like like me and you and the people in our group and you know putting their story out there
