It's all about me, Andy, tell me about you. Yeah, so my parents were kind of being codependent enablers, but they were in a tough spot because my brother died of an overdose, and they did it right with him, you know. But as my parents continued to learn more about recovery and the program and everything like that, one of the tough pills they had to swallow was the fact that there's actually nothing they can do all right.
Ever wondered how two comedians can turn the chaos of addiction and public health issues into something both hilarious and heartwarming? In this episode of the 'Addicts Comedy Podcast', hosts Andy Gold and Kurtis Matthews tackle the gritty reality of San Francisco's human feces problem and the impact of Reagan's mental health policies. But don’t let the heavy topics fool you; these guys know how to lighten the mood with their unique blend of humor and honesty.
Kurtis kicks things off with a candid reflection on how he managed to mess up his relationships, even if he didn't mess up the streets. Meanwhile, Andy tries to share his own story, only to be hilariously interrupted by Kurtis. As the banter continues, they delve into how societal pressures can make alcohol recovery even more challenging than heroin. The conversation takes a touching turn when they discuss their families.
Andy shares his surprising journey from a Mormon upbringing to heroin addiction, and Kurtis opens up about the struggles his parents faced with his brother’s addiction. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, from laugh-out-loud moments to heartfelt insights, making this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating the rocky road of recovery or simply seeking a fresh perspective on addiction.
