The Wild Chaos Podcast

She did what parents are told to do — she reported it.
The state found evidence.
Then the court took her children anyway.
When her five-year-old disclosed abuse, a mother entered the family court system expecting protection. What followed was a maze of hearings, sealed evidence, barred expert testimony, and rulings that removed her children from her custody.

In Episode 99 of The Wild Chaos Podcast, we examine a case that raises urgent questions about family court procedure, evidentiary hearings, child protection failures, and small-town power dynamics. We walk through the timeline — recorded disclosures, Children’s Advocacy Center exams, ER visits, initial findings against the father, and a settlement that erased prior determinations after a restraining order against the state.
We discuss expert witnesses excluded over technicalities, psychological evaluations based on selective records, supervised visit statements aligning with earlier findings, and how new evidence was dismissed as “too late.” Meanwhile, the accused continued working with minors — a reality that demands public scrutiny.
If you care about family law reform, child safety, court accountability, and procedural misuse, this episode is a case study in what can go wrong when process overrides protection.

Bryon survived a childhood most people wouldn’t believe — raised in a crack house, learning to read danger before breakfast, and using intelligence as a survival weapon. In Episode 98 of The Wild Chaos Podcast, he shares a raw journey through counterfeit crime, addiction, prison, near-death experiences, and the slow work of choosing a different life.

From shooting himself during an armed robbery to surviving a 70-foot waterfall fall and an ICU stay with acute pancreatitis, Brian explains how trauma, brilliance, and addiction fed each other for decades. He opens up about twenty years of cocaine use, living double lives, and the moment sobriety finally stuck. The hardest chapter comes later — fatherhood.
Watching his son struggle with addiction forces Bryon to confront his own past, set boundaries without abandoning love, and learn what real leadership looks like at home. Alongside legal self-defense, grief, marriage repair, and faith-based healing, this episode explores what redemption actually costs.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to change — or how a “high-functioning” life can still be deeply broken — this conversation tells the truth.

TJ Frost is a musician, carpenter, father — and a survivor. In Episode 97 of The Wild Chaos Podcast, he shares a raw, unfiltered journey from childhood abuse and neglect to a morning on Vesey Street on September 11, 2001. TJ walks us minute by minute through his experience inside the North Tower: the frozen crowd, unlocked doors, smoke-filled corridors, jumpers, debris from the second impact, and the moment he broke paralysis to help people move. He also reflects on the cost of that day — being turned away from Ground Zero, the erosion of trust since 9/11, and the questions that never left him after working skyscraper jobs.

Beyond 9/11, this conversation explores how pain becomes language, how music can save a life, and what disciplined resilience looks like: writing like it matters, lifting heavy, praying in freezing water, and refusing to normalize what once tried to destroy you.
This episode blends trauma, courage, skepticism, faith, and responsibility — and asks a question that lingers: What would you do when the doors are unlocked and everyone else stands still?

“I didn’t want to get high anymore, but I couldn’t stop.” That line sits at the center of Logan’s story—a small-town athlete whose life flips after a bar fight, a traumatic brain injury, and 18 months on prescribed opiates. When the scripts end, withdrawal hits like a freight train. A friend hands him a pill. Forty-five minutes later, addiction has a name.

From there, we follow the brutal logic of the street. Open-air drug markets. “Scramble” bags cut with fentanyl, benzos, and quinine. The first IV hit. Speedballs in gas station bathrooms. A blackout and a hospital bed, hands cuffed to a gurney. Robberies at gunpoint. Narcan save after Narcan save—and one young man he couldn’t bring back. Then the darkest chapter: sexual assault used as “discipline” by people who held his debt. Hope narrows to a single point. He tries to die by proximity, chasing the batch that killed others. Winter arrives. He’s too cold to get high.
What changes everything isn’t a slogan. It’s a stranger who lets him borrow a phone, a mother who will cross bridges and neighborhoods to pull him out, and a caseworker who says, “Be at the door by 8 a.m.” He chooses a detox that hurts enough to remember and builds a recovery that actually fits: daily meetings, step work, and a gym where effort turns back into dignity. He grieves the overdose of his best friend and stays clean. He learns that strength includes crying, apologizing, and teaching his son to name feelings before they turn to rage.
Now, Logan runs operations at Fit To Recover in Salt Lake City, a nonprofit built on four pillars—fitness, creative arts, nutrition, and service—that helps people in recovery and those unsheltered feel safe and seen. We talk harm reduction, why fentanyl is everywhere, how meth-induced psychosis rewires reality, and what real boundaries look like for families: stop funding the disease, never stop loving the person.
To learn more about the work Logan is doing with Fit To Recover, a Salt Lake City–based nonprofit helping people in recovery and those experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives through fitness, nutrition, creative arts, and service.

A bluebird day, a backcountry mayday, and a helicopter that vanishes behind a ridge. That’s where Valerie’s story grips you—and it doesn’t let go. Born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming to EMT parents, she spent a decade as a volunteer firefighter and EMT before moving behind the console as a 911 dispatcher. What she reveals from the headset is a masterclass in calm under pressure, interagency coordination, and the emotional gymnastics it takes to reset between tragedies. We walk through the real work of dispatch—shadowing, ride‑alongs, multi‑screen radios, and the muscle memory that frees up brainspace to hear what a caller isn’t saying.

Valerie breaks down how she anticipates field needs, sends backup before it’s requested, and uses tiny clues to paint a map others can’t see. You’ll hear the story of a child flickering a bedroom light to guide officers to a violent home, the mountain town chaos of holiday weekends and canyon wrecks, and why location is the first thing you should say when you dial 911. Then the helicopter crash: AFF goes silent, a witness says, “I think your helicopter just crashed,” and hours of searching yield no smoke, no debris, no coordinates. Valerie orchestrates ground teams, aircraft, and agencies while holding the mental picture together until a lone snowmobiler with a radio finds the wreck under trees. One rescuer dies, two survive, and a community grieves. She later voices the last call at the funeral—proof that dispatch carries the weight even when unseen. We also face the cost.
Valerie describes the 3:15 a.m. calls that never leave, the cultural stigma around mental health, and the night she asked for help and got punished for it. She argues for better dispatcher training that builds anticipatory thinking and for support systems that don’t brand vulnerability as weakness. Today she channels her skills into logistics—still dispatching, now without the mortal stakes. If you’ve ever wondered what happens between your panic and the moment help arrives, this conversation brings clarity, respect, and practical wisdom. Subscribe, share with a friend who works in public safety, and leave a review telling us what changed how you think about 911—and what you’ll do differently the next time you call.
