The construct of what family is has been the same for centuries. Family has also been seen as exclusive to blood relatives, but in today's world that definition needs revisiting. Matt brings in the first guest to the therapy couch, his brother Clev. Matt gets Clev to open up about his life, his relationships with people, and how his father shaped his life, and continues to after his death. Get to know Clev and Matt a bit more, and look to your own life to find those who you call family.

Therapy, even in podcasting, is oftentimes seen as a way to exercise negativity or negative life experiences from ourselves. The truth is we can work through life by breaking down the positive moments as well. Matt's recent trip to Virginia Tech, seeing Metallica play, opened up a Pandora's box of catharsis. How often do we have life changing moments in our lifetime? Do we have the wherewithal to savor them as they are happening. Matt talks through his experiences in Blacksburg, and how it changed his outlook on life.

Sports, for many, is the greatest escape from the ills of life. We used to sit down, tune into a game, the let it all wash away. In 2025 that is impossible. Politics in the United States has been woven into every fabric of our existence; impossible to run away from or ignore. Matt talks through the recent statements made by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts and his thoughts on this commingling of sports and politics.

For almost everyone, apathy sets in when it comes to our daily work. We spend forty, or more, hours at jobs that help to sustain our lifestyles, but don't always sustain our souls. Matt talks through his recent struggles.

Addiction, much like cancer, has probably had an effect on nearly everyone in the world. In the United States, it's rampant. Being the child of an addict comes with lots of pain and frustration, but rarely do the kids get mentioned. The addict gets the shine, but in reality leaves a path of destruction that cannot be ignored. Matt talks through his experience.

Once upon a time this feed was used to talk about the world; the positive and the negative. Nearly 3 years ago it took a backseat to focus on more specific, fun niches. The world has been drastically different of late, and the time has come to use podcasting as a means to talk through it. Healing takes time, and now is the time to start.
