In this unfiltered episode of Talk of the Tavern, Travis, Ed, and Andrea tackle the invisible wounds that don’t fade with time: PTSD. From veterans to victims of everyday chaos, we explore how trauma lingers, how people cope, and why society still can’t seem to talk about it without flinching. Expect brutal honesty, dark humor, and a round of drinks poured for those still fighting the battles no one sees.

Highlights include:

• The difference between trauma and drama

• Why “just get over it” is a trash take

• How PTSD shows up in weird, unexpected ways

• Coping mechanisms—good, bad, and whiskey-based

• What healing really looks like (spoiler: it’s messy)

Pull up a stool, pour one out, and join the conversation.
