Laughing Through the Struggles: Andy Gold and Kurtis Matthews on Sobriety and Society
But you have this hope that you know, maybe I'll do less drugs Today, maybe I'll wake up and not do drugs until whatever, or maybe only do drugs late at night or whatever your stuff is, but like just making that progress and having hope.
Ever found yourself in a heated debate about whether introverts or extroverts have it tougher? In this episode of the 'Addicts Comedy Podcast', Andy Gold and Kurtis Matthews dive headfirst into this age-old argument, with their usual blend of humor and honesty. Kurtis kicks things off by giving Andy a hard time for crashing on his air mattress, despite being the one who invited him to stay in his barely furnished apartment.
This sets the stage for a hilarious yet heartfelt discussion on the quirks of their friendship and the trials of living sober lives as comedians. Andy shares some thoughtful reflections on the differences between introverts and extroverts, while Kurtis hilariously recounts a disastrous gig he did for the Freemasons. Is he part of a secret society? You'll have to listen to find out!
The episode takes a more serious turn as Andy tries to encourage Kurtis to think before he speaks, and Kurtis surprisingly listens. They also touch on the clichés in recovery culture, with Kurtis confessing his love for cheesy nursery rhymes and Andy preferring raw, heartfelt stories from fellow recovering addicts. Through their banter, Andy and Kurtis remind us that finding hope in recovery is possible, even when life feels like a comedy of errors.
Tune in for laughs, insights, and maybe even a little inspiration.
