À propos de cet audio

Sponsored by McKelvey Insurance and LightSource Psychotherapy.Who this episode is for:Anyone who’s ever tried to outrun their demons with a six-pack and a Stratocaster.Those who believe pain is the price of creativity.Anyone who's fallen down the rabbit hole of booze, bar tabs, and backstage passes.Recovering musicians, sober-curious punks, and people who've hit rock bottom with a guitar in hand.People who don’t believe in rock bottom—until they slam into it face first.And especially: anyone who thinks addiction is somebody else’s problem.Matt Pryor, frontman of The Get Up Kids, joins the Pondoff’s Anonymous crew and brings the fucking heat. From teenage Alateen meetings to tour bus whiskey benders, Pryor lays it all out—no filter, no fluff. This is the raw-ass story of a man who went from punk rock poster boy to broken, bedbound, and ready to die… before clawing his way out and writing a brutally honest record about the whole damn mess.Chris, Jeff, and Zoe dig deep with Pryor into the romanticized chaos of the music industry, the quiet hell of performing for thousands while dead inside, and what it takes to rebuild your soul from the inside out. We get real about diabetes, depression, spiritual recovery, and the hot mess that is AA vs. Dharma vs. “whatever keeps you alive and growing.”Also on deck:The shittiest non-alcoholic beers of the '90sWhether deep dish pizza is a valid hangover cure (spoiler: no)Detoxing with a diabetic’s nightmare hospital staffSatanic recovery groups and why they might be your jamWrestling, wrestling, and more goddamn wrestlingTouring Europe sober (and terrified)And the raw fucking truth about hitting a stage clean for the first time in decadesPryor’s not selling redemption stories or tidy endings. He’s here to tell the truth: recovery is weird, hard, slow—and fucking worth it.Episode Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction to Recovery and Coffee02:59 The Journey of Matt Pryor: From Music to Recovery06:08 The Impact of Addiction on Lives and Music08:46 Navigating the Music Scene: Drinking and Creativity11:56 Romanticizing Addiction in the Music Industry14:54 Finding Creativity Beyond Substance Use18:00 The Shift in Music Culture: Sober-Friendly Spaces20:58 Personal Reflections on Recovery and Creativity23:55 Defining Success in the Music Industry31:07 The Evolution of Passion in Music32:46 Navigating Early Success and Its Pitfalls34:41 Hitting Rock Bottom: A Journey Through Darkness36:10 The Road to Recovery: Detox and Sobriety39:23 Relearning Life: Sober Living in a Party Environment41:28 The Impact of Alcohol on Health and Relationships44:31 Diabetes and Alcohol: A Dangerous Combination48:31 Challenges in Medical Detox and Recovery52:45 The Stigma of Addiction and Recovery56:35 Finding Alternative Paths in Recovery01:01:10 The Importance of Community in Recovery01:06:00 Navigating Spirituality and Recovery01:11:25 Understanding Human Nature and Addiction01:13:15 The Creative Process: Writing and Recovery01:20:00 Artistic Expression and Personal InterpretationLinks & Resources:Matt Pryor on Instagram: @mattpryorsongsListen to Matt’s brutally honest record “The Dishonesty”: mattpryorsongs.substack.comCatch Matt live – Tour dates & tickets at: mattpryorandthesaltonsea.comSupport the Show:Grab Light in the Dark Coffee: A bold, Colombian roast made by the show with Long Story Coffee.Buy it at: pondoffsanonymous.comSponsored by McKelvey Insurance and LightSource Psychotherapy.
