Anyone listening to this episode should definitely check out Nicoles videos and send her some love for the ways in which she has opened up her story for the world to hear and gain perspective from.

Unc pulls from the vaults the first recording made with his new portable microphone while inside rehab with his good friend and soon to be graduate "Danny Can't Stop," who describes what life was like for him before getting into treatment, what the transition has been like for him and how his views have changed since actively working towards recovery. Both Unc & Danny trade war stories back & forth about shooting speed, getting paranoid about nothing, taking LSD at the worst possible moments, rehab drama, and overall life challenges they face while maintaining sobriety. This one is a good trade off of hitting you all with the juicy war stories and sprinkling in a tiny bit of recovery at the end which is sure to entertain everyone who listens.

This is a very different episode of Nod Squad. Unc interviews Jesse, one of the Therapists at his inpatient treatment facility concerning co-dependent relationships, toxic / vulnerable communication, family dynamics, societal stigmas regarding addiction in the United States as well as many other interesting topics. War stories are put aside for this one to talk about major issues regarding drugs and addiction treatment going on in the world today but we think you will greatly enjoy this one. Debauchery will come again next week in the following episodes and we can't wait for you to hear whats in store.

In this very special episode of Nod Squad Unc interviews Gabe; a staff member at the inpatient treatment facility he currently resides within. Gabe has played a big role in helping shape Unc into the person he is today and continues to evolve into. Its pretty difficult not to bond at least somewhat with the person who watches you pee in a cup during UA's, holds you accountable when you break the rules and wakes your lazy ass up for work duties / program elements / and all the other components rehab provides. Gabe has lived quite a life and seen some really dark chaotic things in his life yet throughout it all he has overcome every obstacle life has thrown at him with his sobriety & recovery still intact. It's been an amazing opportunity to get to know Gabe better, hear some of his story as well as his take on what its like getting through early recovery and staying there.

Unc returns again with another inhouse inpatient recording; this time with good friend, rehab companion and special guest Josh aka Slender Man. The two exchange tales of psychotic ex girlfriend backlashes including both taking punches to the face by their female counterparts and Unc even briefly details his past stabbing stories, stalker situations and other sick scenarios. Josh also gets insanely deep and dark in detailing his attempts to start up a successfull grow operation and how it all fell apart in the most morbid and depressing of ways; spiraling himself into a horrible heroin addiction. All the while both also sprinkle in a little of what they have learned about themselves through their early recovery process. This is an amazing episode with intense war stories but also a healthy dosing of recovery as well for anyone listening to enjoy.

In this international episode of Nod Squad, good friend and Cestren Squad member Eve Lloyd joins us to tell a little of her story, what it was like growing up in England and how she manages today. She briefly mentions how she has overcome her traumatic experiences and manages herself today. On top of which sharing an intense story involving psychedelics, Ex-BF gender identity psychosis and a near close torn off penis.
