Addiction Recovery Support & Mental Health Awareness
Episodes
All fun and games. Down a Canadian, the team pressed on to seal the "W". Will scored the game winner as the shorthanded Trashers rallied for the win. We talked about sports tonight, how it factors into a balanced framework for successful sobriety, one day at a time. We're not a glum lot, we like action, we're addicts we want that instant gratification. So as long as it doesn't cause harm and you blow off some ...
Kajsa's home and welcomed with open arms as her absence was clearly felt. We talked a bit about the 72nd Regina Roundup and Kajsa's trip to Canada to spread the message with Jim. She shared her story as the keynote speaker and it was an hour of experience, strength and hope. Will fell asleep in his hot tub behind the trailer and missed the show. Hot tub safety, people... Just can't stress that enough. Swimmies on at all...
Kajsa made it home safe and sound from the great white north. Jim, as always, was first class. He made sure our girl wanted for nothing and had all the comforts of home. The culinary experience was legendary. As Kajsa said "if I ate any more poutine it was gonna' come out my. nose" and had the pictures to prove it. Everyone involved with this experience was touched on a very personal level. We talk a bit about sleep h...
Our theme tonight was "Making Your Comeback". Anybody who's in recovery, we've all written a comeback story (or you're working on the next chapter). Everybody loves an underdog and if you've decided to live a life of recovery, you don't start out on top. Our guest tonight reminded us of just that. It doesn't matter where you are or who you are, addiction does not discriminate. Our guest JJ (friend ...
It was just the boys live on the pod while den mother Kajsa's absence was for a good cause. The men were sea level while our female star was 35,000 feet high en route to Saskatchewan. Our team is essentially headlining the 72 Annual Regina Roundup A.A. gala. Kajsa travels 1,717.6 miles to spread the message that recovery is worth it. That's just the trip there. We're so proud of our crew and their involvement in the rec...
We carried the torch of recovery month on national sober day. You’re really in trouble if you drink today. Phyllis joined us in studio on her son’s 41st birthday. Who won’t be joining us, is her son who died from an overdose last year. Phyllis’ strength and emotion pour through her as always. She’s a shining light and a sobering example of how addiction can destroy a family. She had a front row seat and she did all she could do. We...
Recovery Month continues as the crew did their thing to continue the message. There were shenanigans aplenty as Jim gave his best Ron Burgundy impersonation his best shot. We honored the lives lost on September 11th 24 years ago and we recognized the horrific events that transpired in Utah, giving their thoughts and prayers to those affected. Will is off probation and he expanded on how that felt and what his life is to look like n...
We welcomed Sam and Noelle Borgia to the show as they shared their experience, lack of experience, strength and hope with our crew and our people. Noelle, early 40s, found herself late to the party in finding out the man she married carried a dark passenger. Most aren't made from the same stuff as addicts and Nicole managed to claim her right in recovery history and we'll be retiring her number to the rafters at our first h...
We kick off National Recovery Month this episode as we looked at the basics of addiction, recovery, physical and mental health. Knowing how to navigate early sobriety can be difficult for the newly sober and clean addict. The team shares their experiences in early recovery and expand on the levels of care and treatment options. Knowledge is key. The problem is, as addicts, we think we know everything. The only successful step towar...
Are you aware of overdose? Get aware, and tell someone else. Overdose awareness day is in the books. There's a lot of purple gots ta' be changed back to creamy trashy brand. Tim presents the full show recorded just 6 hours earlier. Done in such a way that he's tolerable, like to a point. But we're satisfied with Talkin' Trash's response to #IOAD. Get Narcan. 30 bucks, yes we get it, but trust us, you would pay anything if you found...
Our old friend Michael Oxley, LPN, joined us as a guest this evening. As we close in on International Overdose Awareness Day, we took this time to look at overdose and addiction from a clinical standpoint. Addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive and persistent engagement in a substance or behavior despite significant negative consequences. It involves changes in brain chemistry and reward pathways that take time ...
Overdose awareness continued as we maneuvered around a last minute change to the show like the pros we are. We talked about harm reduction, gratitude and fortitude in recovery. Life's getting lifey for pretty much the entire show staff and we lean on each other for support rather than how we used to handle hard situations.
Manny joined us in studio as we touched on gratitude in recovery. Gratitude in recovery is a practice of acknowledging the positive aspects of life, which helps build resilience, improve mental and physical health, and foster stronger relationships. Practicing gratitude can be as simple as keeping a gratitude journal, focusing on what truly matters, expressing appreciation to others, or being of service. This active mindset shift, ...
Overdose awareness month continues as we broaden our cultural horizons by welcoming a returning friend of the show, Thomas guffi Vestergaard from Denmark. We talked about the differences and commonalities between the U.S. and Denmark. The biggest common factor, is that we’re all addicts. The differences we surprising. Tim shared a dream he had a few days ago where Will stole a baby. Not just any baby, a radioactive baby. Calamity e...
As we continue to spread the message of overdose awareness in the month of August, we welcomed back Phyllis, a regular friend and guest on the show. She has a powerful personal attachment to overdose as she lost her son to a Fentanyl overdose a little over a year ago. Phyllis has been on the show several times, each time bringing a new perspective on how one overdose can affect the lives of so many. 300 people a day die from drug o...
Tonight's loose topic was "Crystal Inspired" as we talked about boldness in sobriety. There's a way to be bold without being overbold and having the opposite desired effect. Confidence, not arrogance. We never look down at any person in or out of recovery. Us addicts are forever afflicted with the core reason we self-medicated to begin with. How we cope and how we hope are directly related. Harm reduction has been added to many of ...
A lot of male pheromones on display this evening. A Kajsa-less crew pulled it together in dramatic fashion as we went over trust in addiction recovery. Trust is a fickle thing. Trust is earned and entering recovery, it can be overwhelming regaining the trust we've run thin with the ones we love. Having no expectations puts attainable trust within reach. We can't fix broken trust without putting in the time to show we're trustworthy...
The team wrapped up their "Team Testimonial" series for the month of July as Tim gave his account of "What's your name and how'd you do it?". He shared about his unconventional experiences that led him to where he is today. His story is unfolding as we speak. 42 years old, 2 adult children, divorced, displaced and dismayed. His geographical change is another safeguard to his sobriety.
We were honored to have a very special guest in studio tonight, motivational speaker and all around cutie, Joel Anthony. He shared about what it really feels like in taking a leap of faith as he's actively living it. Joel shared about the fear he fears is a fresh wound. He wants to give back full time as a career and that's a per diem type of life right there and we commend every second of air time used for that purpose.
Will carried on the "Team Testimonial" series by sharing his experience, strength and hope with us and our audience. Parental struggles, legal issues, mental health and sexual orientation all play a big role in defining the 'Will', the man, the myth and the legend. Will calls his own shots today and is a month away from being on probation. He explained what it was like going through drug court and paying your dues...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
