Yay! I was waiting for this upload can’t wait to watch 😃

Jamey

just finished your reaction and loved it! please continue reacting on patreon 🥺

7deadlybananas

I’m really glad you liked it. There is a worry with this one since I know I’ll be talking about some really personal stuff and not knowing how people will react to me is pretty scary. Thank you again.

Some things you may have missed: 1. Jules is trans. I don’t know what it is you thought she was doing lol but the thing she was injecting in her thigh was estrogen. 2. The dating app Jules was on was Grindr 3. Nate realized Jules was trans at the party aka why he said “I know what you are.” 4. The reveal at the end of the episode was that the old dude Jules slept with was Nate’s dad

Jules being trans was what I thought but the sex meet up threw me off. However at the end when they were on the bed, I saw the bulge again and got thrown again. The sexual encounter I thought would help me confirm but didn’t. But ya, while I knew what was happening, I didn’t want to confirm anything on my own through even an educated guess. The dating app I didn’t really connect to because there’s a lot of them. More than I know of anyway 😂 I DID NOT catch what Nate said, like at all! I must have been talking maybe 🤔 thank you for pointing that out. I also don’t think I saw the reveal of Nate’s dad. I think I’m going to have to start pausing and talking on this one. The dad reveal is definitely something I should have seen. Thank you 🙏

Ashtray reminds me so much of Carl from Shameless hahaha. I saw an interview with the kid (the little boy that was acting all gangster) He seems like such a sweetheart very bubbly personality. Suppose to be in high school but the cast is in their 20s except for Maddy who's in her 30s an looks amazing. (all of the cast looks great)

Mia

The actor who plays Nate's dad is Eric Dane. He's been in lots of stuff. And the girl Lexi (Rue's friend who gives her the pee), is Maude Apatow (daughter of Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow), she's had roles in some of her mom and dad's movies.

7deadlybananas

I imagine it being very uncomfortable playing a role like Nate’s dad. Or Nate for that matter.

Mia

even from a viewer pov, it's so weird

7deadlybananas

My instinct says that folks that play these kinds of roles are ones that may have their own experiences they bring into the inspiration. Just an instinct.

7deadlybananas

Just to add, experience being like having family member or friend, or possibly oneself, that has gone through it. I feel like there’s a level of empathy involved with playing roles like this. An empathy most only have from personal experience.

Jonathan

Thank you so much for sharing as much as you did. This show does make you confront feelings. I didn’t have substance abuse issues but I like most people had a childhood full of family issues. I also lost a parent at 8 and your comment at the beginning about everyone having their own pain and how people can relate is so true. I hope you do keep watching this on Patreon so you can continue to explore the characters. It was nice confirmation when you said you could relate to the party. We are the same age and I could too, some people think this show is over exaggerated but I never thought that.

7deadlybananas

I’m a little surprised considering this is like 2 decades passed my high school years 😂 but things are almost verbatim.

Kayla

I appreciate and admire your ability to be so open and transparent about yourself. It's not always easy to open yourself up to complete strangers like you did, but I also think it's important to have those conversations. I grew up in a family with addiction issues as well (drugs and alcohol) and tried my first alcoholic beverage around 8. Unfortunately those addictions manifested other issues in my family such as domestic violence and I grew up seeing a lot of things that I definitely shouldn't have been seeing. But I turned all of it into a life lesson and made the decision to never go down that road so now at 27 I rarely drink, maybe once a year for a special occasion.

7deadlybananas

When it came to the drinking, I eventually just said “why bother?” 😂 but it took a while for me to get there and I had to go through my own thing to finally see it. But these days, I literally don’t see the point anymore. Congrats on how you’ve changed your thinking on it too. We can use our experiences as an excuse or inspiration. Both are totally valid but only one will actually help.

Steph Stephens

Thank you so much for sharing your story Danny. Always feel free to vent. We are here to listen! I went back and forth on whether I wanted to watch this show. But, I'm glad to be able to watch it with someone like you that has had their own issues. You are right, our past shapes us and make us see people through a certain lens. I find myself attaching to people that have been though a lot. Are you attending AA meetings while you are out of the country or do you work on your sobriety on your own? I grew up with a "functional" alcoholic Dad. I never really thought about it much growing up until I started heavily drinking at 13. I realized I was able to pull off the same tricks as him. I went to school and got good grades and hid my addiction well. Then in college I was introduced to harder stuff. Mainly cocaine and ecstacy (molly now). High on coke, I thought I could jump off my dorm roof and fly. Luckily, someone yanked me down and helped me get back to my room. That was my first wake up call. My next wake up call was seeing a friend die from an overdose at a party. At 20, I met my first husband who was also an alcoholic and an abuser. I got pregnant at 21 and was told to stop everything immediately or I would lose the baby. That was my big wake up call. As soon as I was sober, I saw everything differently. I knew I needed to leave my abusive relationship. I left and stayed sober until I lost my first daughter 2 years later. I went into a depression and found alcohol again. Luckily, I got was able to dig myself out and marry a wonderful man who respects me and keeps me on track. I do have a beer or glass of wine occasionally, but I've not gone back to major drinking for almost 25 years and I haven't touched drugs in almost 30 years. That was longer than I thought, but I wanted to share. No one is alone in this ugly addiction. ♥️

7deadlybananas

Thank you so much for sharing. I can definitely understand folks not wanting to watch this show. There was a piece of me that didn’t want to, obviously 😂 I mean I’m just now getting it started. I’ve attended a couple meetings here in Thailand. They were VERY small 😂 but it does have a presence here. However, I haven’t been a regular in the rooms for several years now. Something just clicked one day (maybe I’ll tell the story sometime) where I just knew I wanted to be sober and it was the right thing for me. I literally think about there being a time when none of that mattered. A time before I ever knew anything about drugs or booze and I was happy. Sure, it was a form of ignorance 😂 because I was too young to really know anything. But I see nothing wrong with running with that. It makes things a lot easier in more ways than just this. I proudly wear my ignorance 😂 nothing wrong with it so long as it’s a place to start from and not the goal.

Steph Stephens

Yeah. Something just clicks in your brain where you just know. Embrace that ignorance. Whatever works. I debated sharing, but it seemed the appropriate time and place. I think the more we share, the more own our own past. Our past and getting through the tough shit is what makes us stronger today.

Hey Danny! I was on Audrey’s live stream earlier today and she told me to head over here. It doesn’t really get talked about much in my house and I don’t really have friends who can relate so I’ve been looking for a place to just share and maybe find some support. So my dad died when I was 11, almost 10 years ago. He had a heart attack so for a long time I honestly thought it was from eating too many cheeseburgers but when my mom thought we were old enough she told my siblings and I that it wasn’t even his first heart attack. That he was addicted to painkillers and it killed him. And I kind of wish she hadn’t because everything I remember about him just kind of shifted. I remember him taking pills constantly because his back hurt. I remember him telling me he had to go away because he was sick and didn’t listen to the doctor, which I guess was true but I didn’t understand what it meant at the time. And every once in awhile my mom will blurt out another thing about him that I could’ve done without. And I’ve wanted to go to nar anon ever since I heard Dax Shepard talk about it but honestly I think I’m scared. And I am scared, my siblings are too. Our grandfather and great grandfather on my mom’s side are alcoholics and we don’t even want to get near anything because what if we’ll be just like them? I feel like I’m supposed to feel lucky because I was older than my siblings when he died so I got more time with him. And because so many people with parents who are addicts know about it growing up, and have it a lot worse than I did. But I don’t feel lucky and that makes me feel really guilty. Luckily (ish) I have epilepsy, so I know that alcohol would lower my seizure threshold and screw with my meds so I have another reason not to touch the stuff but it just doesn’t change how I see my dad now. I feel like I’m unloading on you like you’re a therapist haha but I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone this before. And I just want to say I appreciate you being so open about your story

7deadlybananas

That’s a hard reality to just have kind of thrown at you like that. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if my mom waited to tell me. My dad died when I was 8 and my mom was in a live in rehab at the time. I don’t think the situation gave her much choice other than to say what happened. He passed of a bad heart as well. I choose to see my parents as inspiration. I choose to think that they lived their lives the way they did so I wouldn’t have to. And while I may have followed a similar path, their memories helped me break the cycle. And, even in the midst of their own addiction, I know they loved me. It may take time to get there but how you decide to take this is completely up to you. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and have some good reasons not to pick up where your parents left off. Run with that. NA and AA are great but you may find it easier going to Ala-non. It’s meant specifically for families and friends of addicts. Really a wonderful group meeting where people can talk freely and ask questions. I think for you, it would be a great meeting to check out. Keep me posted and never worry about unloading anything with me.
