EPISODE 243⋆9/27: 8 in the Books
Down two Canadians, Trash forged ahead in stride. We welcomed Nicole, who was celebrating 8 years clean and serene. She brought up... Up. Admitting her glasses look like old guy from the movie. She brought with her the kind of wisdom that only comes from eight years of sobriety. Larry picked up some of Canada’s slack while Jimmy was at a Journey concert. The nerve of these Canucks. Congrats to Nicole, and thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope with the boys and our audience.
EPISODE 242⋆9/23: Jennifer's Friend Jennifer
Tonight, Jennifer caught us off guard with some raw honesty. Nearly a year sober, she admitted she was struggling and, when asked whether she considered herself in recovery or simply sober, almost defeatedly answered, “just sober.” We called bullshit. Recovery doesn’t always feel like progress, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Jennifer has put in the work, and tonight we made sure we gave hers the credit it deserved.
EPISODE 241⋆ 9/20: Larry's Lament
Tonight we welcomed special guest Bethany Basler (BB) to Talkin’ Trash, with a surprise appearance from Jennifer Mansfield, from the block, our very own Brad's sister. Jenny plays a huge role in the conversation and support of women’s health and the challenges women face when seeking care, and the different treatment options available to them. Our ladies provided an honest, informative conversation about understanding your health, asking questions, and knowing that there’s more than one path to getting the help you need. We won't tell you what to do but we will tell you is how we did it and what worked for us. Easy peasy lemon squeezie.

EPISODE 239 ⋆ 9/13: Twenty-Four
Tonight, we welcomed Katy to the program, and what a meaningful conversation it turned out to be. Her honest story of relapse, sobriety, and recovery struck a chord with every cast member and fan watching along. There were moments of reflection, plenty of heart, and the kind of real, honest conversation that reminds us why we do what we do. Thank you, Katy, for sharing your experience, strength, and hope with the Talkin’ Trash family. Another night of recovering out loud, one conversation at a time.
EPISODE 238 ⋆ 9/9: Never Forget 9/11
Tonight we welcomed Tammy Ann Wieting from the Rock Bottom Revival Podcast to the show. Tammy shared her story with honesty, candor, and a level of openness that had the entire team a little “scared straight.” Brad also made his return to the program after a couple of weeks away supporting his wife through major surgery. Tim proudly wore Cheri's jersey during the show and will soon be sending it north—along with that patented Snyder musk. You are welcome. Thank you, Tammy, for bringing your story, your honesty, and your perspective to the Trash. It was one hell of a conversation.
EPISODE 237⋆ 9/5: Matt S. & SLAA
Tonight, we welcomed Matt to the program with open arms, and it didn’t take long for him to fit right in with the boys. His five years clean from drugs and alcohol brought a unique perspective to some great conversations, as Matt openly shared his experiences and emotions while identifying as an addict and keeping his primary focus on SAA. It was a privilege to have someone so open-minded and willing to be vulnerable join us, and his honesty made for a meaningful addition to tonight’s show.
EPISODE 235⋆ 8/23: Controversial Treatments
Our favorite time of the month is when Elizabeth McKeon, PMHNP, makes her calendar return to the show for a very overdo check-up. Once again, nobody left the conversation quite the same. Tim's on borrowed time, Will was his sweet self despite turning the camera order on its head. Jimmy got introspective and looked very handsome, and Liz brought the kind of eye-opening perspective that somehow managed to tie the whole mess together. From mental health and recovery to the questions we don't always want to ask out loud, this was another reminder that the pod can get serious without ever taking itself too seriously. Life is way too short.
