EPISODE 254⋆ 11/4: K-eYE-LA
Tonight we welcomed a special guest who finally got to check something off her bucket list: being on a podcast! Having always dreamed of sharing her voice and being part of the conversation, Kyla joined us for an evening of laughs, personal experiences, and a little bit of everything in between. What started as a longtime wish turned into an opportunity to share stories, exchange perspectives, and enjoy some genuine conversation. Sometimes it's the simplest dreams that make for the most memorable moments.
EPISODE 253⋆ 11/1: NOVEMb-UR Recovery
Tonight on TT we welcomed Joy, wife of Jeremy, who joined us back on Episode 247. This time, we got to hear the other half of the story and a whole different perspective on addiction and recovery. Joy has been clean from meth for nearly two decades, but her journey didn't stop there. Two years ago, she made the decision to put down alcohol and everything else, proving that recovery isn't always a straight line and there's no expiration date on getting your shit together. We shared some laughs, got into some real conversations, and were reminded that two people can walk completely different roads and still find themselves fighting for the same thing.
EPISODE 252⋆ 10/28: MATTY S.
Tonight on the pod we had the whole crew was in the house for another evening of honest conversation, questionable humor, and the kind of camaraderie that makes this show beautiful. We welcomed our newest addition to the Trash family, Matt Sandberg, who fits right into this dysfunctional collection of recovering misfits. We talked about the pressures of everyday life, the weight of recovery, and why sometimes simply showing up is an accomplishment worth celebrating. As always, the discussion wandered, the laughs were plentiful, and somewhere between the nonsense and the sincerity, a little wisdom managed to sneak through. Oh and Matt writes poetry.
EPISODE 250⋆10/21: 250 episodes of Recovery
The sign is misleading, it's our 250th episode and our second all hallows eve party 10 days early. Next Wednesday, October 21st, 9pm everywhere, Talkin’ Trash Live proudly presents the 2nd annual TOTHCFC FTT. Throw on a costume, bring your odd creativity, and join us for a little Halloween celebration of our 250th show. No promises of anything spectacular, but we can almost guarantee laughter and funship. All are welcome, come one come all, new and old, come make your sobriety statement as we make up new words. (funship)
EPISODE 249⋆ FiTTING INTO OUR SKIN
Tonight on the pod we had the whole crew was in the house for another evening of honest conversation, questionable humor, and the kind of camaraderie that makes this show beautiful. We welcomed our newest addition to the Trash family, Matt Sandberg, who fits right into this dysfunctional collection of recovering misfits. We talked about the pressures of everyday life, the weight of recovery, and why sometimes simply showing up is an accomplishment worth celebrating. As always, the discussion wandered, the laughs were plentiful, and somewhere between the nonsense and the sincerity, a little wisdom managed to sneak through. Oh and Matt writes poetry.
EPISODE 247⋆10/11: IT'S UR RECOVERY
Tonight the boys welcomed Jeremy Bomar to the madness for another evening of recovery, laughter, questionable judgment, and surprisingly meaningful conversation. We also welcomed Matt into the Trash family, proving once again that our standards for membership remain dangerously low. We talked Halloween costumes, shared some laughs, celebrated recovery. At the end of the day, it's never been about putting on a perfect show. It's about showing up, being ourselves, and reminding people that nobody has to navigate recovery alone. You can recover with Will eating chips into a hot mic.
EPISODE 246⋆10/8: MATT SANFORD sr. no Son
Tonight on the pod, we welcomed back Matt Sandberg... by calling him an asshole :01 in. We're gonna work on that aren't we, team? Matt's a returning guest and this dude speaks our language. A tremendous supporter of the show, celebrating five years clean from drugs, alcohol, and compulsive sex stuff. Matt shared his unique perspective on addiction, including how drugs and alcohol became a means of suppressing deeper struggles with sexual crazy shit. His story opened the door to an honest conversation about the addiction behind the addiction, the weight of shame, and the importance of confronting the underlying issues rather than simply treating the symptoms.
EPISODE 245⋆10/4: OVER N'OUT 闲聊
All four of the boys were in the house for this one, and somehow we managed to squeeze humility and clean time into one show. We celebrated some big clean-time milestones from our own team and gave some well-earned recognition to members of the Trash family watching along. Then we got into humility: what it actually looks like in recovery, how easily it can be confused with weakness, and why staying humble doesn’t mean making yourself small. A full house, a lot to celebrate, and another reminder that recovery deserves to be celebrated out loud. We're awaiting an asian format flip any day now. 我们绝不会出售
EPISODE 244⋆9/30: TRASH MEDICAL
We welcomed our resident medical professional, Elizabeth McKeon, PMHNP, for a conversation about the increasingly accessible world of “gas station pharmaceuticals,” including Kratom and 7-OH. Beyond the medical facts, Elizabeth showed exactly why we value having her as part of Talkin’ Trash. Her compassion for people struggling with addiction isn’t something she simply talks about. She on the front line of a needed movement. Tim shared his own experience trusting Elizabeth with his MAT, addiction and mental health treatment, giving the conversation a personal perspective on what compassionate, knowledgeable care can actually look like.
