This week, we're joined by comedian Keysha E for a fun, slightly chaotic, and very honest conversation about dating, attraction, and figuring out what we actually want. From celebrity crush debates to whether chemistry is just a toxic addiction (yes, we said it), we get into the difference between a good partner and a good time.We also talk about pretty privilege in comedy, dating in Atlanta vs. LA, finances in relationships, and why “safe” might not be as boring as it sounds. Plus, we answer a listener question about feeling lost in life and share a CockTales story that involves a FaceTime mishap you absolutely don't want to experience

This week on Toilet Radio: We’re unlocking a very good, previously Patreon EXCLUSIVE episode. BY POPULAR DEMAND: We watched “Addicted to Porn: Chasing the Cardboard Butterfly”, a 2017 anti-porn documentary narrated by Metallica’s James Hetfield. This documentary is available in multiple rips for free on YouTube or you could pay four dollars to rent it. Don’t do that. Regardless of your stance RE: pornography, what you get here is a pretty sad attempt by evangelicals pretending they’re not evangelicals to present vaguely scientific arguments that porn is some kind of unique brain-destroying chemical. There’s also a pretty horrific segment where a lady just ruins the shit out of her ex-husband’s life. Idk man. It sucks. We talk about this, The Substance, and The James Hetfield on this one. And remember: you asked for this one. Music featured on this episode: Black Magnet – Damage Device This program is available on Spotify. It is also available on iTunes or whatever they call it now, where you can rate, review, and subscribe. Give us money on Patreon to get exclusive bonus episodes and other cool shit.

In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W Price sits down with mythologist and storyteller Dr. John Bucher, Executive Director of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, to explore how story functions as a living force that shapes our lives, culture, and sense of meaning. They trace John's early "graduate degree in storytelling" in a small Texas video store, move through themes like the quest to come home, reconciliation with the father, and the "magical orphan," and show how our favorite films reveal the deep mythic patterns we're unconsciously living. The conversation dives into archetypes, subtext, AI as a new cultural story, the loss of shared myths in a hyper-individualized media landscape, and the possibility of a "collective heroic journey" where groups answer a shared call of desperation rather than a single hero saving the day. John also offers very practical tools for "telling a better story" in our own lives, from changing our information diet to small daily rituals that reorient us toward hope, connection, and agency. Key Takeaways: John Bucher: Telling A Better Story Stories and myths are the "operating system" of the human mind, shaping how we make sense of everything from traffic to transcendence. What truly draws us into stories is not plot but theme, like coming home or reconciling with the father. Our favorite movies quietly reveal our core genres, themes, and unresolved psychological material. We are losing shared cultural stories, which contributes to loneliness and fragmentation. Finding a "better story" starts locally: in our media diet, daily practices, and small collective actions.

Porn addiction is one of the most hidden struggles affecting men, relationships, and marriages today, and in this powerful conversation we dive deep into the reality behind it. In this episode, Chris sits down with a guest from Team Vulnerable who shares his personal story of growing up with shame, developing a severe porn addiction that lasted more than a decade, and hitting rock bottom when it began destroying his marriage and mental health. From erectile dysfunction on his wedding night to confronting the shame that kept him trapped, this raw discussion explores the real psychological and emotional reasons people become addicted to pornography and why so many feel powerless to stop. You'll learn how addiction thrives in secrecy, why honesty and vulnerability are the first steps toward freedom, and what the recovery process actually looks like for couples trying to rebuild trust. The conversation covers accountability, healing trauma, rebuilding intimacy, and how partners can support each other through addiction recovery without shame or blame. If you're struggling with porn addiction, dealing with a partner who is, or simply want to understand how pornography impacts relationships, this episode offers practical insight, real-world experience, and a path toward healing and personal responsibility.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Ever wonder why some people thrive on drama? In this episode, Caroline welcomes licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Scott Lyons, author of “Addicted to Drama” and host of “The Gently Used Human,” to talk about toxic mom groups, gossip, and why drama can feel addictive. Using examples like “drama bonding” in groups, he explains how stress can become a habit that brings connection and even chemical pain relief, and why calm can feel unsafe for some people. They discuss how hormones (including menopause) can increase dysregulation, how partners can respond without adding “logs to the fire,” and why social media fuels attention-hungry conflict and competitive victimhood. Dr. Lyons shares practical regulation tools like walking, shaking, reading at night instead of scrolling, pausing before replying, and “unsetting the table” to stop mental spirals, and he shares where to find his work, including Embody Lab and his upcoming “Hot Seat Therapy” show.

In this episode of Addicted to Recovery, the hosts speak with Tony, who shares his powerful life story of addiction, trauma, and ultimately recovery.Tony grew up on a council estate in East London, raised by hardworking parents alongside his brother and sister. When Tony was young, his sister was tragically run over and lost her leg, an event that deeply impacted the family. Although the trauma was never openly discussed, Tony believes it contributed to his father becoming a heavy drinker and created an emotionally difficult home environment. tonyAs a child, Tony found escape and confidence through football, where he excelled and even attracted interest from professional clubs like Arsenal and West Ham. On the pitch he felt confident and valued, but off the pitch he struggled with insecurity and fear, particularly within the challenging environment of the council estate. tonyTony began experimenting with substances at a young age. What started with cigarettes and cannabis gradually escalated into more serious drug use as he searched for relief from feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Eventually, he discovered heroin, which he describes as providing the first true sense of internal peace and comfort he had ever experienced. tonyHowever, this relief quickly turned into a decades-long addiction. Tony spent nearly 30 years using Class A drugs, trapped in a cycle of crime, desperation, and daily survival. His addiction caused immense pain to his family, including witnessing the death of his brother at 26, which still wasn't enough to stop his own addiction at the time. tonyEventually, after years of despair and failed attempts to quit, Tony reached a point where he internally knew he needed help. Through the criminal justice system, he entered a 12-step rehabilitation program, where he finally found hope. Seeing counselors and other recovering addicts who had transformed their lives inspired him to believe recovery was possible. tonyTony embraced treatment, completed rehab, and began working the 12-step recovery program. Through this process he developed self-awareness, confronted past trauma, and rebuilt his life.Today Tony has been clean for over 11 years and now uses his experience to help others struggling with addiction. His story highlights how unresolved trauma, emotional pain, and the search for belonging can lead people into addiction — but also how connection, honesty, and recovery communities can help people rebuild their lives.

In this episode of the Man Within Podcast, Sathiya Sam delves into the complexities of porn addiction, challenging the common misconception that addiction is purely about pleasure. He emphasizes that the true nature of addiction lies in the conflict between desire and self-loathing, where individuals often crave something they simultaneously detest. Drawing on the research of Dr. Gary Wilson, Sathiya explains how early excitement from porn fades, leading to a reliance on it as a coping mechanism for stress and discomfort. This creates a cycle of shame and confusion, where the desire for porn persists despite a lack of enjoyment.

Season 1 ends with grief, gallows humor, and one last choice that changes everything.In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 6, “The Morrow,” the dust finally settles after the Trial of Seven — and the show leans hard into what Dunk & Egg really is: a story about honor, class, consequences… and the road.This episode is basically all epilogue, but it still hits like a lance to the ribs: Baelor's funeral, Dunk spiraling into guilt, Maekar trying (and failing) to keep control of his family, and Egg deciding whether he becomes another spoiled prince… or something better.

This episode originally aired on October 22, and I'm bringing it back because this is a conversation we simply cannot ignore.As explicit “romance” fiction and erotic content continue to become normalized—especially among women—it's important that we talk honestly about what it's doing to our hearts and our marriages.In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Elise Orozco shares how so-called “romance” fiction slowly drew her in, how it impacted her marriage and her walk with the Lord, and how God led her to freedom.This isn't about shame. It's about guarding our hearts and remembering that God's design for intimacy is protective, beautiful, and life-giving.If you care about strengthening your marriage and living in freedom, don't skip this one.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Kratom. Ketamine. They're not viewed the same way as heroin or fentanyl. They're often described as “natural.” “Therapeutic.” “Safer.” And yet — families are calling us blindsided. In this episode, we unpack the growing problem of addiction to substances that are widely used, loosely regulated, and often not treated with the same seriousness as traditional drugs of abuse. We talk about: * Why kratom and ketamine addiction catch families off guard * The dangerous illusion of “legal means safe” * What makes withdrawal from these substances uniquely difficult * The rehab dilemma when a substance isn't classified as a controlled drug * Why many treatment centers are not equipped to handle these cases properly * What families can actually do when they realize this has gone too far The truth is — addiction doesn't care whether something is scheduled, prescribed, plant-based, or trendy. And when the system doesn't clearly define the problem, families are left confused, dismissed, and struggling to find real help. If you love someone who is using kratom or ketamine and you're wondering, “Is this really that serious?” — this episode is for you. You are not crazy. And you are not overreacting.

In this episode, Josh sits down with Dr. Mark Matthews - PhD in psychology and high-performance coach - to unpack something most founders never stop to examine:The difference between achievement and fulfillment.You'll hear:- The ACTUAL definition of addiction- How high performers unknowingly train their nervous system for constant stimulation- The hidden cost of being achievement-obsessed- Why reflection might be the most powerful growth lever you're ignoring- How three simple identity words can radically change your relationships and leadershipThis conversation goes deeper than tactics.It challenges how you define success.How you show up at home.And whether you're building a business… or slowly losing the parts of yourself that matter most.If you're driven, ambitious, and always thinking about work — this episode will hit close to home.And it might just change how you think about performance forever.Interested in working with Dr. Matthews?

Episode 5: The Polymathic Crime/Murder Board | A Diagnostic for an Age Addicted to Verdicts . What if our biggest threat to justice isn't corruption or ignorance, but our addiction to certainty? . In an age of instant outrage, viral accusations, and premature conclusions, we confuse speed with truth and emotional relief with accountability. Verdicts arrive long before understanding does, and they feel righteous, even when they're wrong. . In this episode of The Polymathic Perspective, we step into a radically different posture. Not a verdict. A diagnostic. . Using the logic of an FBI murder board, this episode examines why the human nervous system rushes to conclusions, how identity hijacks inquiry, and why simplifying harm into heroes and villains so often protects the systems that produce it. . You'll explore: Why certainty is neurologically soothing, and epistemically dangerous How the Central Park Five exposed what happens when narrative speed outruns investigative discipline Why harm often looks like alignment, not deviation How proxy wars reveal invisible beneficiaries and misplaced accountability Why real change always carries cost, and why cost is the only reliable evidence How the Epstein files function as an epistemic stress test, not a list of verdicts . This episode will frustrate anyone looking for outrage, moral shortcuts, or clean villains. It's designed for listeners willing to sit with uncertainty long enough for truth to survive pressure. Because justice that can't withstand scrutiny isn't justice at all... It's theater. . If you're ready to trade certainty for coherence, and outrage for accuracy, this episode will change how you listen to everything that comes next. About The Polymathic Perspective Podcast . The Polymathic Perspective is a weekly practice for integrative thinkers, leaders, and curious minds who refuse to collapse complexity into comforting lies. Each episode examines how meaning, identity, incentives, and systems interact beneath the stories we're told. This is not a podcast for conclusions. It's a podcast for diagnostic clarity.
