Speaker 1 (00:00):
Big engagement we need to talk about. That's right, not mine, No,
not yours. But okay, if you had to guess which
one of our listeners of the show and of the
after show, o g listener left to talk back. I
didn't get to it. I had so many, but let
the talk back, basically saying if I play it, you'll know,
basically saying that congratulations to Taylor and Travis. And but
(00:20):
you know, I'm really waiting for is Winny to get
engaged because then I'll be crying and be so emotional.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Maybe an invite to the wedding. Who do you think that?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
An invite to the wedding?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yes, somebody big time listening.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
We have so many. Oh, of course that's Mike girl Lynn.
I love Lynn.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
We'll see Lynn tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We will. I saw her last week at Lisa's house for.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Her wine tasting. Yep, me and Howard chit chat. And
that's my girly. I love Linn.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
And I think Lynn, who lives in Rhode Island, is
going to Florida for a book club with Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, well you know Lisa's going to Florida, right, and Lynn?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I love that. I think a firefighter they have won daughter.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't think he is. Is he?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I think he is?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Check that, Lynn, let us know. I'm pretty sure they
have one daughter, Julia. She just went to San Francisco.
She got a big tech job making more than you
and I, buddy.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
She's twenty three, all right, Lynn, Lynn's doing all right.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So her daughter, you know, in San Francisco, she's kind
of just has a She has a lot of free
time and disposable income. So that girl's living her life.
I want Lynn's life.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I do too. God Well, anyway, Hi Lynn, thanks for
checking in. Yeah, the engagement, I mean, we did the
whole show on it. It's a huge story, and yeah,
you know you want to root for love, right if
you're not. I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan anyither.
It's like I like Taylor. I think she's well, you know,
generational artist, right, But it seems like she's in love.
(01:46):
Seems like it's working, and yeah, good for them, looking
forward to it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
We love love.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
My friend and I were talking last night about the engagement,
not so much about the actual engagement, but about Travis Kelcey.
Think about what the odds are of you having one child?
Make it to the NFL. Right, then think about the
odds of having two children make it to the NFL,
and then think about the odds of having not one,
but both make it to the Super Bowl. Yep, Travis
(02:13):
and Jason Donald. It's insane, Like that doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's so funny because their parents are running the mill
people from Ohio. I love them all, you know what
I mean, Like they're just and like I think that's why, honestly,
why Taylor and Travis too kind of work. She's from
Pennsylvania originally, Like, these are not flashy people. They're down
home people from like the heart of it. And I
think we fell in love with the Kelsey family, you know,
before we even had them together. And then you put
(02:39):
them together, and you have a really nice guy with
a really nice girl, and they're both very successful in
their own you know path.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Then together they're explosive, So good for them.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And also you know, she's dated other musicians a lot,
she's dated actors, never a sports figure. This was the
first time. So again I said it on the show.
I just think it's so crazy. You never know what's
going to happen. We were making fun of Travis Kelce
for showing up to our years ago in this little
crush with his bracelets, you know, because you know Dave
Portney does the same thing. He's a huge swiftye. He
(03:11):
has the bracelets. Never did I think they would get
together and get engaged. Never.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It makes sense though, if you really think about it
now that we've seen it unfold.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, so who knows, Maybe you're next. I don't know you.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Well, maybe I don't get to decide that. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean, you don't really even show him that much.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I post him sometimes, Okay, well.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
People already knew what he looked like.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah they knew yet, Hey, Whinnie, I feel like a
complete creep. But on Facebook, when they post videos of
you guys talking during the show, you can see your
phone and you can see your man. Oh no, we
can see what he looks like. All right, that was fun.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But I'd never rob a bank with you.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh my god, that's so funny.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But that's so true because my phone is always within
the camera view and sometimes it's like he's on my phone.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's so, that's so funny. Yeah, you can see what
he looks like.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So if you zoom in, you can see him, right,
there you have posted his face?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yea, I have. Yeah, I just feel like I'm a
little bit more private with him.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well you were doing that thing when you post like
his fingernail.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Listen, listen.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You guys have seen me through a lot of different
parts of my love life, and this is just a
different chapter that I cherish very darely, So I just
treat it a little differently.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It makes sense? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
So speaking of him, it's his birthday today. Oh yeah,
so I gotta he's in his twenties, isn't he is?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You know what? When he dropped the skittles and step
away from the sandbox, look at you, Rob.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He is a little bit younger than me. So he's
off today, so we're gonna spend the day together, which
would be nice.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, And it was even nicer that I'd have to
walk Code this morning because he's at the house, so
I could not do that this morning, which was so nice.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
What time has that happen?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
What time does Coda get walked?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I normally chew it around like four thirty.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What time did he walk Coda?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Like eight?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Okay? Yeah, so he slept in.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, so Code doesn't need to go
out at four thirty. But if I don't take him
out at four thirty, yeah, I'll be home, you know
what I mean. So it worked out great for me
because he texted me.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He goes, hey, do you take your Code out? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And I go, no, that would be a great time
for you for your birthday.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But yeah no.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
So the I this morning, I had balloons and he
loves chocolate to cookies from Star Market, so I put
a bag of that. I was like that, you know,
here's your breakfast, and I got it this morning and
baked a cake before work.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You baked a cake, yeah, before, at like.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Three this morning?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, because I wanted to be ready to it because
I didn't want to do when I got home, you
know what I mean. So I already baked the cake
and then uh vanilla yellow, and then we're gonna I'll
give him this present when I get.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Home, and then we will I don't know whatever. He's
so chill. I'm like, what do you want to do?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
He's like, I just want to chill, So get food
or something. I had reservations for a place for dinner,
but no, I don't think we're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay, Yeah, we expend the the whole day, you and
him all alone. Yea doing unspeakable things.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I have my period.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh well, there's always coddling.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah no, yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So happy birthday to the clothe then. Yeah, And if
you heard yesterday's podcast and he liked it or not
like that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That was an interesting podcast. Any feedback from that.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
A little bit, but nothing bad.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Justin congratulations on a great podcast with the gentleman from
Power of Recovery. You are making a difference. I am
not in recovery, but I do have family members and
I do hear a lot of what they speak about
when I am in their meetings. So keep on keeping on.
It is important, and you do provide support to the
(06:45):
family members as well. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, listen, there was a time in my life in
my career, especially where I did not talk about my past.
I hit it, I was ashamed, I was scared, and
then it ended up coming out. So I do think
it's important to not just share the joys but also
the horrors of addiction. Right, And I think the After
Show is a good place. Obviously it's not regulated by
(07:09):
the FCC and what you heard yesterday was reliving some
of those things and having some laughs about it. And
I just have to say that we laugh about it today,
we weren't laughing and during those times, and that, yeah,
like that's the reality of it. To show people where
this thing takes you, but the more importantly where you
can go from there.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You know, I can speak with that talkbacker you know,
I've had some family members that struggle with addiction, and
then you know, I've talked about my cousin dying of
a heroin overdose, and I've learned a lot by being
your friend, like from the mind of someone that has
an addiction. I think before I became close with you
or even met you, I had a different outlook on
(07:51):
my family members that had addiction. I was just because
even though they're my family, I'm obviously way closer with you.
I spend every day with you and seeing and I
don't even know that version of you. So it's it's
interesting because I used to be like, just stop, like
just get your shit, you know what I mean, But
obviously it doesn't it's not it's not like it doesn't
work like that. And to see how you operate now
(08:13):
with your still addictive a person addictive personality. It really
is a brain makeup. It really has to do with
that type of shit. Because you have transferred your addiction
eighty seven times as I've known you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's just not hard drugs anymore. Well, you learn that,
you learn that the drugs are just the major symptom. Yeah,
and like you have to work through that and obviously
get off the drugs. It's always going to be like
in the forefront. Yeah, but once that's over, like, it's
everything else exactly. It's all the obsessions.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like I said, since I've known you, it's been you know, food,
it's been weight loss, it's been working out, it's been
four wheelers, it's you know what I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Sneakers and man, funny enough, I'm selling my full wheel
Now you're over it. Now I'm over it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You and you go through these periods. It's like I
would say, some of them.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Lasts upwards of five years, summer a year, even down
to your dieting. You've been obsessed with ketoing, You've been
obsessed with internet and fasting. You've been obsessed with eating
whatever you like. Since I literally worked with you, I
can tell you all the addictions you have sneaker, you
know what I mean, or even different dieting. How you
know you're all in on keto and then fuck keto,
(09:17):
You're all in on internet fast and then fuck that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm all in on just balance and fuck that. I'm
gonna go to McDonald's where I want. Yeah, you were
actually a little happier than I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
When I was eating, when you saw me on vacation,
when you ate whenever.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
There was a time I would say, maybe like two
or three years ago before you started with your coach,
where you had like a year or six.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Months where you were just kind of chilling.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You know, you weren't like ballooning, but you weren't. You
were just in the gym and eating what you wanted.
You were so much out, you were so much nicer.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh, thank you. I'm okay now I'm just doing fasting. Yeah,
but you listen, this is the thing about the power
of recovery. Maddie and Dame, they're my friends in real life.
They are clients of the station, and you know I
talk about them, I work with them. The reason we
have them on is because they're my friends and they're
good dudes. I love them, you know what I mean.
And it's a good entertaining podcast, it is, and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It's informative Damon and Maddie.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Obviously, Damon is kind of Maddie's right hand so Maddy
owns a business, but Damon's like does help helps with
everything and knows so much about you know, what they're
what they're doing, And I just think they're very informative
and it's and it's a way to deliver this important
information in a light way and not make it so heavy.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The three of you, who are all have been in active.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Addiction and all have been in recovery for a long
time and have dealt with other addicts, can speak to
it in a light that yes, it's sad and it's
scary and it's fucked up, but on the other side
of it, we can look back and be like, what
the fuck was that?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
And you know what I mean, they have a laugh
about it. Yeah, and I kind of remember one. And
the thing I love about about Maddie and Damon is
there's so many recovery places and a lot of them
are great, some of them not so great. But what
I love about, especially with them too, is yes, they
have a business, right, They've invested in their life and
their time into making a business, which obviously makes money. Yeah,
(10:58):
and they do make money. They do well, they're happy
and everything. But helping people comes first, right. He talked
about it yesterday, not kicking people, just out offering them help.
He does a ton of stuff that we don't even
that he doesn't talk about, like free beds, things like that.
You know, he tries his best to accommodate. So they're
really good dudes. And I don't know if you know
this this about them, they might have said this to you.
(11:20):
But going back to like when Maddy first opened his
first sober house, Damon was his best friend and he
helped him do it, and they had nothing, like everything
was invested and Damon worked for free for like the beginning.
I believe it because Maddy had no money, you know.
So he's been with him all the way up until now,
which he's very successful. So it's it's good to see
(11:41):
their bond.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh yeah, I know they're they're they're like literally like
a husband and wife, Like Damon is Matt's wife.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's so funny. They posted a
video on Valentine's Day and it was Damon's wife posted
it and it was Maddie picking Damon up on Valentine's Day,
like right up to his door and he's like that
all the two loves.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh, they're fine.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
They'll be back on soon and listen. If you have
any questions for them, addiction related to recovery related, leave
a talk back and I'll save them for when they
when you I gotta go, we gotta run. Where you
going stuff to do? I'm gonna go to the gym.
I'm getting the meta glasses. I'm gonna pick these. You
really are They're like five hundred Oh really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So would you really let me borrow them for the
baby shower?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I would? Okay, yeah, I would, but I don't want
to get in trouble for a say, so, I wouldn't
want you to like record the whole thing. But if
there is something that happens, maybe to catch it on video. Okay,
I don't think that's illegal, right, No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It is creepy the glasses because in the wrong hands.
Oh yeah, like you can go into a bathroom with
them on. You don't know. I guess there was a producer.
Raley was explaining it to me. I didn't know there's
a light on them. So when you're recording, the light
goes on. But what the creeps do is they tape
over it? Oh yeah, of course, so you'd never know.
So I'll have some fun, you know, with your wife. Yep,
so ah, y
Big engagement we need to talk about. That's right, not mine, No,
not yours. But okay, if you had to guess which
one of our listeners of the show and of the
after show, o g listener left to talk back. I
didn't get to it. I had so many, but let
the talk back, basically saying if I play it, you'll know,
basically saying that congratulations to Taylor and Travis. And but
(00:20):
you know, I'm really waiting for is Winny to get
engaged because then I'll be crying and be so emotional.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Maybe an invite to the wedding. Who do you think that?
Speaker 2 (00:30):

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You baked a cake, yeah, before, at like.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Three this morning?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, because I wanted to be ready to it because
I didn't want to do when I got home, you

but no, I don't think we're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Okay, Yeah, we expend the the whole day, you and
him all alone. Yea doing unspeakable things.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I have my period.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh well, there's always coddling.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah no, yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So happy birthday to the clothe then. Yeah, And if
you heard yesterday's podcast and he liked it or not
like that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That was an interesting podcast. Any feedback from that.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
A little bit, but nothing bad.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Justin congratulations on a great podcast with the gentleman from
Power of Recovery. You are making a difference. I am
not in recovery, but I do have family members and
I do hear a lot of what they speak about
when I am in their meetings. So keep on keeping on.
It is important, and you do provide support to the
(06:45):
family members as well. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, listen, there was a time in my life in
my career, especially where I did not talk about my past.
I hit it, I was ashamed, I was scared, and
then it ended up coming out. So I do think
it's important to not just share the joys but also
the horrors of addiction. Right, And I think the After
Show is a good place. Obviously it's not regulated by
(07:09):
the FCC and what you heard yesterday was reliving some
of those things and having some laughs about it. And
I just have to say that we laugh about it today,
we weren't laughing and during those times, and that, yeah,
like that's the reality of it. To show people where
this thing takes you, but the more importantly where you
can go from there.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You know, I can speak with that talkbacker you know,
I've had some family members that struggle with addiction, and
then you know, I've talked about my cousin dying of
a heroin overdose, and I've learned a lot by being
your friend, like from the mind of someone that has
an addiction. I think before I became close with you
or even met you, I had a different outlook on
(07:51):
my family members that had addiction. I was just because
even though they're my family, I'm obviously way closer with you.
I spend every day with you and seeing and I
don't even know that version of you. So it's it's
interesting because I used to be like, just stop, like
just get your shit, you know what I mean, But
obviously it doesn't it's not it's not like it doesn't
work like that. And to see how you operate now
(08:13):
with your still addictive a person addictive personality. It really
is a brain makeup. It really has to do with
that type of shit. Because you have transferred your addiction
eighty seven times as I've known you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It's just not hard drugs anymore. Well, you learn that,
you learn that the drugs are just the major symptom. Yeah,
and like you have to work through that and obviously
get off the drugs. It's always going to be like
in the forefront. Yeah, but once that's over, like, it's
everything else exactly. It's all the obsessions.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like I said, since I've known you, it's been you know, food,
it's been weight loss, it's been working out, it's been
four wheelers, it's you know what I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Sneakers and man, funny enough, I'm selling my full wheel
Now you're over it. Now I'm over it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You and you go through these periods. It's like I
would say, some of them.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Lasts upwards of five years, summer a year, even down
to your dieting. You've been obsessed with ketoing, You've been
obsessed with internet and fasting. You've been obsessed with eating
whatever you like. Since I literally worked with you, I
can tell you all the addictions you have sneaker, you
know what I mean, or even different dieting. How you
know you're all in on keto and then fuck keto,
(09:17):
You're all in on internet fast and then fuck that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm all in on just balance and fuck that. I'm
gonna go to McDonald's where I want. Yeah, you were
actually a little happier than I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
When I was eating, when you saw me on vacation,
when you ate whenever.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
There was a time I would say, maybe like two
or three years ago before you started with your coach,
where you had like a year or six.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Months where you were just kind of chilling.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You know, you weren't like ballooning, but you weren't. You
were just in the gym and eating what you wanted.
You were so much out, you were so much nicer.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh, thank you. I'm okay now I'm just doing fasting. Yeah,
but you listen, this is the thing about the power
of recovery. Maddie and Dame, they're my friends in real life.
They are clients of the station, and you know I
talk about them, I work with them. The reason we
have them on is because they're my friends and they're
good dudes. I love them, you know what I mean.
And it's a good entertaining podcast, it is, and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It's informative Damon and Maddie.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Obviously, Damon is kind of Maddie's right hand so Maddy
owns a business, but Damon's like does help helps with
everything and knows so much about you know, what they're
what they're doing, And I just think they're very informative
and it's and it's a way to deliver this important
information in a light way and not make it so heavy.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The three of you, who are all have been in active.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Addiction and all have been in recovery for a long
time and have dealt with other addicts, can speak to
it in a light that yes, it's sad and it's
scary and it's fucked up, but on the other side
of it, we can look back and be like, what
the fuck was that?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
And you know what I mean, they have a laugh
about it. Yeah, and I kind of remember one. And
the thing I love about about Maddie and Damon is
there's so many recovery places and a lot of them
are great, some of them not so great. But what
I love about, especially with them too, is yes, they
have a business, right, They've invested in their life and
their time into making a business, which obviously makes money. Yeah,
(10:58):
and they do make money. They do well, they're happy
and everything. But helping people comes first, right. He talked
about it yesterday, not kicking people, just out offering them help.
He does a ton of stuff that we don't even
that he doesn't talk about, like free beds, things like that.
You know, he tries his best to accommodate. So they're
really good dudes. And I don't know if you know
this this about them, they might have said this to you.
(11:20):
But going back to like when Maddy first opened his
first sober house, Damon was his best friend and he
helped him do it, and they had nothing, like everything
was invested and Damon worked for free for like the beginning.
I believe it because Maddy had no money, you know.
So he's been with him all the way up until now,
which he's very successful. So it's it's good to see
(11:41):
their bond.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh yeah, I know they're they're they're like literally like
a husband and wife, Like Damon is Matt's wife.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's so funny. They posted a
video on Valentine's Day and it was Damon's wife posted
it and it was Maddie picking Damon up on Valentine's Day,
like right up to his door and he's like that
all the two loves.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh, they're fine.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
They'll be back on soon and listen. If you have
any questions for them, addiction related to recovery related, leave
a talk back and I'll save them for when they
when you I gotta go, we gotta run. Where you
going stuff to do? I'm gonna go to the gym.
I'm getting the meta glasses. I'm gonna pick these. You
really are They're like five hundred Oh really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So would you really let me borrow them for the
baby shower?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I would? Okay, yeah, I would, but I don't want
to get in trouble for a say, so, I wouldn't
want you to like record the whole thing. But if
there is something that happens, maybe to catch it on video. Okay,
I don't think that's illegal, right, No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It is creepy the glasses because in the wrong hands.
Oh yeah, like you can go into a bathroom with
them on. You don't know. I guess there was a producer.
Raley was explaining it to me. I didn't know there's
a light on them. So when you're recording, the light
goes on. But what the creeps do is they tape
over it? Oh yeah, of course, so you'd never know.
So I'll have some fun, you know, with your wife. Yep,
so ah, y
