Hunter Montgomery has been sober for nearly 20 years – but his story didn't begin with heroin. It began with a football injury, a prescription for painkillers, and the belief that he'd finally found something that made him feel comfortable in his own skin. In this honest conversation, Hunter joins Zac Clark to unpack the hidden beginning of addiction, why so many people suffer in silence, and what finally broke the cycle. They explore the misconceptions surrounding recovery, the danger of trying to "do it your own way," the role of surrender, faith, service, and why long-term recovery isn't about simply avoiding drugs or alcohol – it's about building a life worth staying sober for. Hunter also opens up about surviving an overdose, navigating relapse, living with Tourette syndrome in the public eye, finding recovery at a young age, co-parenting after divorce, becoming a father again, and why he now uses his platform and career to help others ask for help before it's too late. Whether you're in recovery, love someone who is, or simply want to better understand how addiction really takes hold, this is a conversation about hope, identity, and the possibility of lasting change.

“Hello, my name is Frank.” Join Ian & Liam for our 340th episode as we step into the awkward, tender, and unexpectedly moving world of Hello, My Name Is Frank (2014). Megs isn't with us this week — she agreed to supervise a road trip but abandoned the assignment after discovering nobody had prepared an itinerary. Kev? He's currently trapped at a support-group meeting after introducing himself and accidentally agreeing to organise the next twelve sessions. This week we discuss: Garrett M. Brown's performance as Frank — vulnerable, funny, and painfully sincere. Does the film give its central character the depth and dignity he deserves? The road-trip structure — does taking Frank away from his familiar routines allow the story to open up, or does it rely too heavily on familiar indie-film conventions? The film's depiction of Tourette syndrome — compassionate, educational, and humanising, or occasionally too eager to turn Frank's condition into a source of comedy? Ian explores the film's narrative construction — how a collection of eccentric characters and emotional detours builds toward something more heartfelt than expected. Liam examines the balance between laughing with Frank and laughing at him — and whether the film always knows the difference. The unlikely group dynamic — loneliness, grief, friendship, and the strange families people create when the ones they were given cannot provide what they need. The relationship between Frank and Laura — does it develop naturally, or does the film push its emotional destination before earning every step of the journey? The supporting performances — which characters enrich Frank's story, and which feel as though they have wandered in from a broader, quirkier comedy? The “show versus tell” balance — does the film allow us to understand Frank through behaviour and relationships, or explain too much of what we should be discovering ourselves? The tonal shifts — broad comedy, uncomfortable encounters, and genuine sadness. Does the film hold those elements together without becoming emotionally manipulative? The third act identity crisis — at what point does Hello, My Name Is Frank quietly stop being about Frank? We unpack one of the strangest narrative pivots we've seen in years. The ending — hopeful, sentimental, or exactly the kind of emotional release the story requires? And finally, whether Hello, My Name Is Frank is the Best Film Ever — or simply a small, sincere film with more empathy than polish.

Desde pequena, Sabrina carregava a sensação de não pertencer a lugar algum. Na escola, era a criança que ficava sem recreio porque não conseguia acompanhar a aula, sofria bullying e acabou encontrando abrigo justamente entre os “desasjusados”. Sem entender o que acontecia dentro de si, cresceu tentando anestesiar uma dor. Aos 13 anos, encontrou no álcool uma fuga, que só a fez afundar. Na vida adulta, suas crises emocionais passaram a afetar o trabalho, os relacionamentos e a própria vontade de continuar vivendo.Durante muito tempo, todos enxergavam apenas uma mulher emocionalmente descontrolada. Até que vieram os laudos. Autismo, TDAH, ansiedade, depressão e síndrome de Tourette. O diagnóstico trouxe respostas, mas também o peso de aceitar que aquela diferença tinha alguns nomes.Nessa época, o Glück já fazia parte da sua vida. Ele chegou filhote e, logo nos primeiros meses, Sabrina descobriu que ele era surdo. Em vez de desistir, aprendeu uma nova forma de se comunicar com seu cãozinho. Adaptou comandos, treinou cada gesto e construiu uma linguagem com ele..Anos depois, aquele cachorro que já era companhia se tornou seu cão de assistência, que auxilia a Sabrina em momentos de crise.Hoje, antes mesmo que Sabrina perceba uma crise chegando, o Glück percebe. Ele encosta a cabeça na sua perna, cutuca suas mãos e tenta chamar sua atenção. Quando ela começa a se machucar, batendo a cabeça ou arranhando o próprio rosto, ele salta sobre seu corpo e faz o que os especialistas chamam de terapia de pressão. O peso do seu corpo interrompe o caos. Sabrina respira, acaricia seu pelo e, aos poucos, volta para a realidade.Ela costuma dizer que existe uma diferença enorme entre sair sozinha e sair ao lado dele. Antes, uma crise no meio da rua podia fazê-la ficar totalmente perdida. Hoje, ela sabe que não está sozinha.Porque, às vezes, o que salva uma vida não é apenas encontrar um diagnóstico, mas um ser vivo que, mesmo sem ouvir uma única palavra, aprende exatamente como cuidar de você.

Have you been told you have "something wrong with you" but no one could tell you what or what to do about it?

Tourette syndrome is a motor disorder that begins in childhood or adolescence. Characterized by movement tics and at least one vocal tic, it's often portrayed as unrestrained swearing. However, coprolalia only affects ten percent of people with Tourette's. Datshiane Navanayagam talks to women from Argentina and the UK about their mission to talk about this widely misunderstood condition.Lauren Wyatt says the most difficult part of having Tourette's is the public perception and reaction. Lauren says she experiences harassment almost every time she goes out with people mimicking tics, threatening her, or sometimes even throwing things. She's part of a campaign by Tourette's Action in the UK – #NoChoice – which is highlighting Tourette's as a medical condition. Lauren says she lives in constant pain due to her tics which are out of her control and have damaged her body beyond repair.Belén Prieto is an Argentinian psychologist currently living and working in Spain. She has Tourette's and is a volunteer with TTAG (Tics and Tourette's Across the Globe), an umbrella organisation for Tourette's Syndrome, raising awareness and supporting those with the condition.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Belén Prieto, credit Miguel Pereda.

Hay personas que, cuando la ven por la calle, se ríen. Otras creen que es peligrosa, que está siendo grosera o, incluso, que puede contagiarles algo. Todo por un padecimiento neurológico que ella no eligió y que la acompaña desde que nació.Hoy conoceremos la historia de una mujer que vive con síndrome de Tourette, una historia marcada por el rechazo y la discriminación, pero también por un enorme trabajo personal y muchísima resiliencia. Porque hay algo aún más retador que vivir con síndrome de Tourette: vivir en una sociedad que no lo conoce ni lo entiende.Por eso, hoy vamos a hablaremos de lo que significa crecer sintiéndose diferente e inadecuado, de aprender a habitar un cuerpo que parece actuar por su cuenta y de encontrar el amor para aceptarte a ti y a tu condición, que hay vida a pesar del síndrome de Tourette y que el mundo entienda que, detrás de cada tic, hay una persona que merece ser vista, respetada y comprendida.Hoy nos acompaña una mujer que es actriz, maquillista, peinadora y especialista en novias.

Opie, Mark Normand, and Carl Ruiz turn the studio into a complete circus. Carl fat-fingers his wife's smoking-hot pics to everyone (including Roland), the group immediately loses their minds, then they dial her up while she's out with the kids. Cue nonstop roasting, zipline boob stories, Mark being Mark, ancient radio chaos with a Tourette's guy jumping to “Jump Around,” IPA hate, cheap beer nostalgia, Memphis BBQ talk, and the most unhinged birthday episode you'll hear all year. Raw, filthy, and stupidly funny — pure Opie Radio chaos.

On this episode of TYP, Bobby and I talk about compassion fatigue, homelessness, performance threshold, who to help and when, being responsible for the effort but not the outcome, and we also had an interesting chat about Bobby‘s often-unrecognised disability and some of the challenges of navigating life with a traumatic brain injury, Tourette’s syndrome, PTSD, and a mind that won’t be quiet.

De flesta tror att Tourettes syndrom handlar om att svära och säga olämpliga saker, men det är ovanligt. Men också de mer vanliga ticsen med rörelser och ljud kan ställa till det. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet är en repris från mars 2026.Nu har spelfilmen ”I swear” gått upp på bio, om brittiske John Davidson och hans liv med Tourettes syndrom. Den har fått stor uppmärksamhet, inte minst för de tics som fick Davidson att ropa otidigheter på Bafta-galan tidigare i år.Men hans form av tourette är inte den vanliga – bland de cirka en procent som får diagnosen som barn kämpar de flesta med andra problem. Och många är trötta på att den allmänna bilden att diagnosen handlar om att säga opassande saker – när de vanligaste vokala ticsen är harklingar och fnysningar.För att få diagnosen Tourettes syndrom behöver man ha både motoriska tics (rörelser) och vokala tics (ljud) och ticsen ska ha pågått i minst ett år och börjat före 18 års ålder. Ofta debuterar de i tidig barndom.Fernando Nyrén fick diagnosen när han var tio. Hans tics kan skifta över tid och ibland också ge fysiska konsekvenser, som smärta i nacke och axlar. Ändå kan han inte sluta. Han jämför känslan med att försöka hålla inne en nysning: spänningen byggs upp tills ticset måste “ut”.Medverkande: Fernando Nyrén, med egen erfarenhet av Tourettes syndrom, Per Andrén, psykolog och forskare, Lunds universitet.

Our understanding of life with Tourette Syndrome has improved in recent years as more celebrities like Lewis Capaldi open up about their struggles as well as films like 'I Swear' showing the realities of the condition which can cause uncontrollable tics. This week, we wanted to hear a first hand account of life with the neurological condition so we spoke to Martin Sturman. Martin had mild tics as a child but never paid any attention to them until he suffered a traumatic experience in 2022 and the severity increased. He went from blinking and random bursts of song to throwing sandwiches across the room and shouting curses. He told us about not knowing what was happening to him at first, what it feels like to try and suppress a tic, and the public reaction to Tourette's.Martin has a good sense of humour about it all and told us about the times he's said something that he can't help but laugh at. And he's probably the only guest who can get away with shouting a curse directly at Terence... This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

Popsterren Robbie Williams, Billie Eilish en Lewis Capaldi hebben het: Gilles de la Tourette. Maar wat betekent dat precies? Hoe komt het dat je geen vat hebt op wat je zegt? En kan je er écht niks aan doen? Professor kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie Karen Vertessen (UPC KU Leuven) nodigt je uit in haar praktijk om het syndroom beter te begrijpen. Gastspreker: Karen VertessenRedactie: Shalini Van den LangenberghEindredactie: Katleen BrackeDeze podcast is mogelijk dankzij de medewerking van KU Leuven, UAntwerpen, UGent, UHasselt, VUB en de Jonge Academie en komt tot stand met de steun van VRT en de Vlaamse overheid.

CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 53 MIN. JEN NA ⁠HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR⁠⁠⁠⁠ A ⁠HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Tourette není jenom o ticích. U mě teď vládne hlavně OCD a úzkosti,“ říká Daniela Šindelářová. Její matka Daniela Zoulová se v knize Žijeme s Touretteovým syndromem: Zpověď matky a vzpomínky dcery vrací k tomu, jaké bylo vychovávat dítě, které se začalo odlišovat už ve školce a jak těžké je dívat se na bolest, kterou za něj nemůžete nést. „Když tomu dítěti nedokážete pomoct, vždycky říkáte, že byste to radši měl sám,“ říká Zoulová. V rozhovoru mluví o bezmoci, vině, strachu i o okamžiku, kdy si poprvé připustila, že její dcera bude možná vždycky jiná. Daniela popisuje, že tiky se dají zadržovat jen do určité chvíle. „Zadržím to co nejvíc, pak jsem někde sama a vypukne to,“ říká a přirovnává to k tomu, jako když se člověk dlouho drží pod vodou a pak se musí nadechnout. Ještě těžší než tiky jsou pro ni ale nutkavé myšlenky. „Udělej to, nebo umřou rodiče,“ popisuje věty, které jí naskakují v hlavě a nutí ji opakovat stejné úkony, kontrolovat, volat domů a znovu se ujišťovat, že jsou její blízcí v pořádku. „To mě nejvíc omezuje život,“ říká o obsesích a kompulzích, které ji provázejí dodnes. Dětství pro ni bylo spojené i se šikanou. Spolužáci napodobovali její tiky, vulgárně jí nadávali, vyhazovali jí věci do koše a dávali jí facky. „Celá třída byla proti mně,“ vzpomíná Daniela. Její máma dodává, že nejtěžší nebyl samotný Touretteův syndrom, ale reakce okolí. Zvlášť bolestivé pro ni bylo, když pomoc nepřicházela ani od dospělých. „Chodila jsem ze školy fakt s brekem,“ popisuje schůzky s učiteli, kteří podle ní problémy zlehčovali a její dceři podsouvali, že je nevychovaná nebo rozmazlená. Zlom přišel kolem dvanáctého roku, kdy měla Daniela podle své mámy „v hlavě jenom smrt“ a rodina se rozhodla pro psychiatrickou léčebnu. „Hrozně jsem chtěla do léčebny jet, aby mi pomohla a prosila jsem o pomoc. Ale zase ten můj blok v hlavě mi to nedovolil,“ říká Daniela. Rodiče tehdy rozhodli za ni. Dnes o tom mluví o vděčnosti. „Kdyby nerozhodli za mě, tak tady třeba už nemusím být,“ říká. Obě dnes mluví otevřeně i proto, aby podobné děti a jejich rodiče nebyli sami. „Když se o tom nebude mluvit, nic se nezmění,“ říká Zoulová. A Daniela dodává, že za psychické potíže se člověk nemá stydět. „Někdo má problém s rukou, tak jde k doktorovi, někdo má s hlavou, tak jde prostě k psychiatrovi.“ Jak vypadá Touretteův syndrom, když už navenek skoro není vidět, ale uvnitř člověka dál probíhá boj? Co prožívá matka, která ví, že svoje dítě nemůže zachránit před vším? A proč není psychiatrická léčebna selháním, ale začátkem pomoci? I to se dozvíte v rozhovoru.

The conversation emphasizes listening to lived experience, empathy, and accountability for media decisions, including reported editing choices. In the Deep Cut segment, they revisit "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," noting outdated stereotypes and body-shaming, and discuss the film's shallow treatment of caregiving, grief, Arnie's disability portrayal, and Bonnie's dignity, including the ending's "convenient" resolution.

What does it mean to be fully seen — not just for our struggles, but also for our gifts? In this conversation with Apostolos Christos Lianos, a remarkable young man living with Tourette's Syndrome, we meet someone whose daily life includes challenges many of us may not fully understand, but whose witness reveals something deeply human: the desire to be known, accepted, and embraced. Together, we'll explore some common misconceptions about Tourette's Syndrome, and how family, friends, and fellow parishioners can build access for people with disabilities like Tourette's whose tics and vocalizations often lead to misunderstandings, stigma, and isolation, especially in church settings where quiet and controlled behavior is the expected norm.

What actually happens after we die? It's the question humanity has asked for thousands of years, and for most of us, it stays theoretical. For Dr. Elisa Medhus, it became the most personal investigation of her life.Dr. Medhus spent over thirty years as an internal medicine physician, raised by militant atheists, trained to trust only what she could measure. She had never seriously considered what happens after death...until October 2009, when her twenty-year-old son Erik, who lived with bipolar disorder and Tourette's syndrome, died by suicide.What followed shattered every assumption she had about consciousness, energy, and the nature of reality itself.In this episode, Dr. Medhus walks us through her journey from hardcore skeptic to one of the most well-known voices in afterlife research, not because she went looking for it, but because the evidence kept finding her. A phone call from a twelve-digit number that led to nowhere. Electronic voice phenomena analyzed and confirmed as non-human by audio experts. A militant atheist father... a man who told her Erik would "turn to dust"...calling her three days after the death to report that Erik had appeared, changed into a young boy, and curled up in his lap. And eventually, holding her son solid in her arms for three seconds at the foot of her bed.We cover what the afterlife actually looks like according to Erik's accounts; the colors that don't exist here, buildings made of spirits, and what happens in the moments immediately after death. We talk about the Channeling Erik community, now fifty thousand subscribers strong, and the book Erik dictated from the other side, My Life After Death: A Memoir from Heaven, described by readers as the most convincing account of the afterlife ever written.We also go deep into Dr. Medhus's current work with scalar energy and biofield medicine...the idea that human beings are fundamentally energetic systems, and that conventional medicine is missing a critical layer by treating only the biochemical. She shares remarkable testimonials, including a patient whose two blocked coronary arteries were fully cleared and whose myocardial scars disappeared entirely, and explains why she believes the gap between science and energy medicine is finally starting to close.Whether you've lost someone and are searching for signs, you're curious about what evidence actually exists for life after death, or you just want to hear a scientist explain how she dismantled and rebuilt her entire worldview from scratch, this conversation delivers.In this episode:What life after death actually looks like, according to ErikHow EVPs and mediumship evidence convinced a skeptical MDWhat scalar energy is and how it interacts with human biologyWhy the biofield may be the missing layer in modern medicineHow Erik continues to guide Dr. Medhus's work from the other sideWhy Dr. Medhus says you should not be afraid to die...but absolutely should be present for the life you haveResources mentioned:My Life After Death: A Memoir from Heaven — get your free digital copy at skepticmetaphysician.com/newsletterChanneling Erik community: channelingErik.comAtlantis Scalar: atlantisscalar.comIf you or someone you know is struggling, free support is available 24/7.

La historia de Pepe Méndez es la de una vida de superación constante. Este expolicía, rescatador de montaña en el GREIM y empresario compartió su testimonio en el programa 'Herrera en COPE', donde relató cómo es vivir con el síndrome de Tourette, una condición que no le fue diagnosticada hasta pasados los 40 años. Ahora, se prepara para su próximo gran reto: cruzar a nado los 31 kilómetros del río Ebro el próximo 4 de julio.El diagnóstico del síndrome de Tourette suele aparecer en la infancia, pero en el caso de Méndez, sus tics se consideraban “manías” de niño. Según explica, el concepto de Tourette es “relativamente nuevo”, de menos de 20 años. “En mi época de adolescente, infantil, en primaria, en secundaria, pues no existía esa mentalidad, esos conocimientos, y la única forma de definirnos era que teníamos manías”, ha contado.Fue en el paso de primaria a secundaria cuando los tics se exteriorizaron de forma más evidente. Al mudarse de su pueblo, Coín (Málaga), a ...

Eric Braeden sounds off after a casting director wastes his time, plus the guys relive the moment he absolutely unloaded on them for being late to an interview. A classic front-seat etiquette debate sparks strong opinions, Billie Eilish opens up about living with Tourette syndrome, and a Costco food-sample rant hits a little too close to home. There's also an engagement call that gets surprisingly emotional, a Mother's Day confessional involving fake alarms and secret “other kids,” Nick Cannon's parenting double standard, and an incredible story about how one guy managed to sneak into The Devil Wears Prada 2.

In this powerful episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes back Shannon Stocker, author of the new YA novel The Roach King of Raleigh, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. Shannon shares the deeply personal inspiration behind Quill, a high school sophomore who's juggling a painful mix of family addiction, financial hardship, sibling tension, and crushing loneliness. To help his struggling family, Quill starts breeding dubia roaches to feed his bearded dragon and sell to a local pet store – and those thousands of hidden insects become a vivid metaphor for the dark, buried things in our lives that eventually crawl into the light. Shannon and Jed talk about boys and big feelings, the pressure on teens to "tough it out," and why it's not just okay, but essential, for boys to feel and express emotions. Shannon also opens up about her own family's journey with childhood illness, anxiety, and disability, and how those experiences shaped the book's themes of empathy, resilience, and representation (including a key character with Tourette syndrome). Parents and educators will love Shannon's ideas for co-reading with teens and using Quill's lies, secrets, and friendships as powerful conversation starters about honesty, mental health, and healing. In the final segment, Jed chats with Dr. Monika Schott, author of My Dad Built Me the Best and Wackiest Cubby Ever, a moving middle grade novel about a family navigating a parent's mental illness. Monika shares how her story is helping both kids and adults talk more openly—and compassionately—about mental health.

Send us Fan MailJay, Rhea, and Angelo are back... and Hollywood just got a lesson from its own past. Devil Wears Prada 2 opened to $77 million domestic and $233 million worldwide, proving that 125 million Americans over 50 — mostly women — will absolutely show up if you give them something worth watching. The question is whether the movie actually delivered: Angelo thinks Meryl Streep is chewing the scenery so aggressively she's a structural hazard, Jay thinks she's the only thing holding it together, and both of them agree Emily Blunt deserved a better movie than the one she got. Is this proof that Hollywood has been leaving a fortune on the table by over-indexing on teenage boys and Marvel sequels?THEN: SNL is the only late night institution the Trump administration hasn't gone after and the gang has theories about why. While Jimmy Kimmel is fielding daily White House attacks and Colbert has gone dark, SNL keeps swinging and nobody's calling their advertisers. Is it the rotating cast? The difference between caricature and attack? Plus: Jon Stewart's Correspondents' Dinner bit analyzing the assassination attempt footage may be the single funniest thing anyone has produced all year... and it barely made the news cycle.ALL THAT PLUS: Hulu dropped a surprise The Bear prequel episode before Season 4 even officially launches, and Angelo still won't watch it. A deep dive into the history of May Sweeps, Rhea cannot stop watching High Country on Hulu or talking about Criminal Record Season 2 on Apple TV. Angelo found a Scottish show about a man with Tourette's that he's calling “beyond spectacular.” And much MUCH more!MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Steven Singer Jewelers!The TV Show is a weekly podcast hosted by Jay Black, with regular guests Angelo Cataldi and Rhea Hughes.

We reviewed the big movie of the weekend, the Michael Jackson biopic "Michael," on Tuesday. But there are plenty of other new releases as we await the summer crush. Here's what we discussed in the latest episode of our Breakfast All Day podcast: OVER YOUR DEAD BODY. Samara Weaving and Jason Segel play a miserable married couple who go on a weekend getaway to work on their relationship -- or so they've told each other. Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis co-star in this twisty action comedy from director Jorma Taccone ("Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping"). In theaters. I SWEAR. Robert Aramayo was the surprise best actor winner at the BAFTAs this year for his portrayal of John Davidson, a Scottish man with Tourette syndrome. Writer-director Kirk Jones' film is formulaic in its depiction of adversity, but its heart is in the right place. Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Scott Ellis Watson co-star. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to talk about, including "Michael" reactions, early footage of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," casting on Alex Garland's "Elden Ring" movie and more. We won't be here next Friday in solidarity with a nationwide labor strike, but come back on May 8. Thanks for sharing some of your weekend with us!

Two RISK! stories pulled from the archive, and both are worth your time. "The Best of Adventure Stories #3" is funny and unsettling in equal measure, sometimes within the same story. Winter Tashlin was 16 years old, at a Jewish summer camp in New York, and desperately wanted one good day. The plan was the Empire State Building and a performance of Les Mis. He has Tourette syndrome, the city is unforgiving, and the day keeps getting worse. Meanwhile, Marshall York drove solo across the American West, pitched a tent alone in the Grand Tetons, and went to sleep. Sometime in the night, a voice started speaking to him from inside the tent, calm and close and saying something he could not explain.

Peter Wilson is back and this month we're standing with the Irish farmers, truckers and taxi drivers out on the roads.   This week Peter breaks down what's really happening with the Irish protests, why RTE and mainstream media are blacking out the story, and what it means when Guards from the North show up in balaclavas to pepper spray a 14-year-old. We also cover how the Irish Guards themselves called in sick rather than confront their own people  and what that tells you about where this is heading.   But this episode is full of solutions. Peter shares exactly what protesters should do if approached by police (say absolutely nothing), how a PMA member just won thousands in compensation from a debt collector using GDPR, and how you can start cutting your energy bills today from as little as £25.   About my Guest: Ex Royal Navy gunner and armourer, turned professional fighter.
