    Harris Wittels was one of the funniest writers in comedy, a Parks and Recreation writer and producer and friend to Sarah Silverman, gone from an opioid overdose in 2015 at just 30 years old. His sister, Stephanie Wittels Wachs, spent years not understanding what was actually happening to him, and turned that grief into a mission to make sure other families wouldn't have to learn it the hard way.She sits down with Carl for a conversation that feels like two siblings comparing notes on a grief they never asked for. They talk honestly about opioid addiction as a disease, how families fall apart trying to respond to it, and the real, practical harm reduction tools, including Narcan, that are actually saving lives right now.Stephanie is the CEO of Lemonada Media and author of "The Last Day: How to Stop Losing Our Loved Ones to the Opioid Crisis," written for anyone who has ever loved someone in active addiction, or lost someone to it.Resources from this episode:Naloxone (Narcan) Safe Spot overdose detection hotline Learn more about your ad choices.

    Spencer Matthews on Being a Reality TV Villain & Grieving His Brother

    Spencer Matthews knows exactly what it’s like to build a career playing the villain on reality TV. A founding cast member of Made in Chelsea, the UK’s answer to The Hills, Spencer sits down with Carl to trade behind-the-scenes stories about reality TV, including how he developed an alter ego for the show, why he eventually walked away, and what it was like watching his on-screen persona follow him long after he left. The reality star turned entrepreneur and host of the running podcast Untapped also opens up about his complicated relationship with alcohol, the period when he got sober, and how a non-alcoholic gin and tonic at a family party ultimately inspired him to launch CleanCo. Spencer also shares the story of losing his older brother Michael, who died climbing Mount Everest when Spencer was just 10. Years later, he returned to the mountain for Finding Michael, retracing his brother’s final climb and searching for his body. He and Carl connect over losing their brothers and the different ways grief can shape your life.

    Not Just Football’s Cam Heyward and Hayden Walsh on Grief, Friendship, and Drafting the Summer House Cast

    Cam Heyward is a seven-time Pro Bowler and captain of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his friendship with Hayden Walsh goes way beyond football. The two childhood friends lost their fathers within a few years of each other, and that shared grief became part of what brought them together as co-hosts of their own podcast, Not Just Football. They sit down with Carl to talk about losing their dads, what it actually looks like for men to be vulnerable with each other, and how Cam's mother helped guide his path to the NFL after his father passed. Then, because Hayden is a genuine Summer House superfan, the three of them draft the entire cast into starting NFL positions. There are some very strong opinions. It's a funny, surprisingly emotional hang with two longtime friends who've been through a lot together.

    Chris Olsen on Turning Rock Bottom at 19 Into a Platform That Helps Millions Online

    Chris Olsen was 19 when his roommate woke him up and said, "your dad's here" — the start of a full-blown intervention, complete with impact letters and a one-way ticket to rehab that same day. The content creator, mental health advocate, and author of the new memoir "I Think My Therapist Hates Me,” sits down with Carl to talk about that intervention, the year he spent in an intense, shame-based rehab program, and the fear of going back that kept him sober for years afterward. They also get into what it's actually like navigating sobriety in the gay community, and how Chris turned his hardest years into a book he hopes will help other people feel less alone. It's a funny, honest, deeply moving conversation about shame, forgiveness, and growing up in public.Sponsors:ZipRecruiter: Try ZipRecruiter to post your job FOR FREE at http://ziprecruiter.com/RADKE4 out of 5 employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the first day.

    Mrs. Dow Jones on Financial Literacy, Money Shame, and Building Real Wealth

    Carl gets honest with financial expert Mrs. Dow Jones about exactly how much money his drinking and using actually cost him — a number he'd never really sat with until now. Haley Sacks — New York Times bestselling author of ‘Future Rich Person’ and host of the Financial Tea podcast — sits down with Carl to get real about money, without the shame. They break down how to build an emergency fund, why prenups are more romantic than people think, and what money really looks like behind the scenes of reality TV. Haley also gets into why financial literacy matters especially for women, and how to stop feeling stupid about the things you were never taught. It's a funny, refreshingly simple conversation about money, self-worth, and figuring your finances out — no matter how far behind you feel.

    Next Gen NYC's Ava Dash on Finding Independence, Owning Mistakes, and Forgiving Her Parents

    Ava Dash grew up with two seriously accomplished parents, but from a young age, she was determined to build a life and identity of her own. The Ford model and Bravo Next Gen NYC star sits down with Carl for an honest conversation about fighting for her independence, growing up fast, and learning to see her parents — hip-hop legend Damon Dash and fashion designer Rachel Roy — as people rather than just her parents. Ava opens up about her parents’ divorce, taking on a “second mom” role to her younger siblings, and the moment she realized that becoming financially independent changed her relationship with her dad. She also talks about learning to forgive, letting go of grudges, and finding peace with the things she can’t change. Plus, Ava gets candid about what she’s learned from being on reality TV, owning a mistake from Season 1, navigating a breakup in front of the cameras, what she’s looking for in her next relationship, and the Bravolebrity who gave her advice along the way. And, of course, she shares some behind-the-scenes Next Gen NYC goss.
