Roller Coasters, Rocket Launchers & A Creative Comeback Story
from Talking Trubbish
The guys are recording on fumes and somehow that’s when things get real. What starts as roller coaster stories and fear of heights bounces through Spirit Airlines horror, carnival ride fatalities, and Matthew’s legs giving out completely after a rip cord ride, before landing somewhere unexpected: Matthew opening up about a brutal breakup that shut him down creatively for nearly a decade and what it feels like to still be playing catch-up. Jacob wrote things down this time so they didn’t lose the thread, Culver’s gets a second chance with a full ratings breakdown, and the episode closes with a first-time weed story that ends exactly where you’d hope, face-deep in the best Oreos of his life.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!!
