The episode dives deep into his journey through addiction in all forms, from food to porn, sex, and drugs, and what it’s taken to get sober and start rebuilding his life.He and Matt also get into what it was like growing up in the 90s and early 2000s with autism—long before it was widely understood or openly talked about—while Matt offers an outside perspective and keeps the conversation grounded. Along the way, the two bond over their shared love of films, adding some lighter moments and genuine chemistry to an otherwise heavy episode.This episode doesn’t hold back—it’s real, uncomfortable at times, but ultimately about resilience, growth, and finding a way forward.Support the show
