Welcome To Season 2 Episode 3 - Fighting Addiction: A Recovery Story!
The guys put together a great show for you this week! Host Ryan Weiss, Co-Host Nick Mancuso, and Co-Co-Host Jesse Unk are joined by Permanent Guest Chris "The Film Freak" Kessinger, and Very Special Guest Ryan Labelle!
In typical fashion, the guys spend a portion of the show being funny and just having fun talking about their week. Ryan went to Kalahari, Nick saw 1917, Jesse lost to Chris in Billiards, Ryan received an apology from a Amazon Delivery Driver, and they did quite a bit of Netflix and Chilling.
We break down 1917 and it's incredible cinematography, Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez, 'The Circle' and whether or not people online are authentic in their Social Media 'Lives' or if we tend to create a fantasy life to portray a false sense of happiness, Eminem's recent album, and what place does kneeling in protest belong at the high-school level.
Fun and Games aside, this week the guys got pretty serious and invited a special guest to the show to talk about something very important; drug addiction and how to get to recovery!
Ryan Labelle is a recovered addict who has an amazing story. From age 12 to 25ish, Ryan battled with addiction stemming from just smoking cigarettes and getting drunk to battling heroin addiction, doing time in jail, and other life battles. His story is so inspiring and it's amazing to see where he is today. Settle in and listen to his story unfold and find out how he made it to 28 years old and is now clean and thriving! He offers some great insight, advice, and tells us how he finally made the decision to take control of his life.
If you, or someone you care for is battling with addiction, please, take advantage of Ryan's story and share this episode with them. His interview is timestamped below so you by no means need to listen to the entire show if you don't want to. But if his story can inspire someone, help someone make the decision to fight for their sobriety, or instill some hope in someone's life, then please, share it! We wanted to have him on to help motivate others and offer some inspiration that there is hope. It is possible to change and get your life back! Addiction doesn't have to be your story!
As always, thanks for listening!
