Hello everybody and welcome to the first episode of voice memos with Joey.

I used to do this a lot where I would like walk in the woods with my dog

and I would just talk and record and I come to the woods a lot because I find it's just nice it's like you can go you can be free you can walk there's no I don't have to put him on a leash. He's very good. He says near me but I don't

have to put him on a leash and he listens well and I don't have to worry about necessarily seeing

other people or following laws and restrictions and I think we have that a lot right now you know

when we have COVID and everything and if I do see somebody that's walking close to me I do

put on my mask and all of that stuff I don't want anybody to think that I don't do anything

there. I don't respect the rules. But I'm in the woods, right? What? A tree is going to

get COVID? Wait, is that a thing? I'm sorry, if that's a thing, somebody let me know.

I'm not trying to kill the trees out here I love nature I love I love everything like this and it just gets me thinking and I think it's such a vulnerable time for a lot of people when they're out adventuring and I think we just need this. I think we need to relax every now and then and just

breathe a little and the best way to do that is not your friggin air conditioning or not your air filter in your car.

I think it's getting outside and yeah, it's cold as balls out here in Canada,

but I think it's cold as balls out here in Canada, but I think it's really important to allow yourself to breathe.

And I love doing these podcasts where I'm just talking randomly because it feels like I'm talking to somebody. It feels like I

know you guys are listening. When I try to write notes and I write stuff down and it

feels like I'm just talking out to nothing.

It feels like I'm just saying words and I'm done.

Hey Franks, let's go this way.

And there he comes.

He's the best dog in the entire world and makes me very happy.

In fact, he changed my life.

I was going to a really, really rough time and I didn't get him because I was going through a rough time. I got him because I was ready. I was ready and I was ready to need something, something to give me motivation, something to work on, something to take care of, something to work on something to take care of
