Show notes

Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin and drummer Robin Diaz join Eddie Trunk to discuss Wes's ongoing sobriety journey and recent near-death experience after being hit by a car while riding an e-bike. Wes reflects on his past struggles with addiction, his time in jail, and how he's turned his life around with the support of his bandmates. The duo also talks about their latest album 'Kiss the Machine' and their latest single 'Free,' which symbolizes Wes's liberation from addiction. Despite being in the industry for over two decades, Puddle of Mudd continues to draw sold-out crowds, with fans surprisingly eager to hear their new material alongside classics like 'Blurry' and 'Control.'
