Strap in, folks—this episode gets raw. Chris, Jeff, and special “guest” (aka their own co-host) Jakob Miller get brutally honest about addiction, recovery, and the wild ride in between. They dive deep into childhood chaos, learning disabilities, and that nagging feeling of being different. No sugarcoating here—just real talk about alcohol, weed, and the slippery slope into harder stuff like heroin.
The guys break down the mind games of addiction: denial, relapse, and the struggle to claw your way back. They go headfirst into fatherhood, how becoming a dad changes everything (or doesn’t, until you’re ready to face your demons), and the role of community in making it out alive. They also tackle the debate around marijuana in recovery—lifeline or slippery slope?
Through all the dark moments, this one is about hope, resilience, and the grind of rebuilding your life. Whether you’re in recovery, love someone who is, or just want to hear a damn good story, this episode brings the heat.
