Chris D'Elia joins Jack Osbourne for a deeply honest conversation about sex addiction, recovery, ego death, and rebuilding a life after everything falls apart.

In this episode of Trying Not to Die, Jack Osbourne sits down with comedian and actor Chris D'Elia for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about addiction, shame, recovery, and what happens when a life built on secrets finally collapses.

Chris opens up about his struggles with sex addiction, compulsive behavior, and the lies he told himself while living in the spotlight. He talks about losing everything, facing public backlash, going to rehab, attending meetings, and what it means to try to rebuild a life based on honesty instead of impulse.

Together, Jack and Chris discuss ego death, fame, fatherhood, loyalty, and why becoming a husband and a parent forced Chris to finally confront himself. They also explore how creativity, comedy, and performance can be both a lifeline and a hiding place — and how learning to sit with discomfort is part of real recovery.

This is not a conversation about cancel culture or redemption. It's about responsibility, growth, and whether it's possible to live without secrets when you no longer want to run from yourself.

Listener discretion advised.

About the show:
Trying Not to Die is a bi-weekly video podcast hosted by Jack Osbourne and Ryan Drexler, where caffeine meets chaos and survival is the point. Expect unfiltered conversations, high-performance hot takes, and deep dives into aging, recovery, wellness, mental performance and everything we're doing to cheat death (or at least slow it down).

From mad-scientist doctors and longevity junkies to artists, athletes, and off-beat thinkers, Jack and Ryan explore what it really takes to stay strong, sharp, and a little wild in your 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond. This isn't a self-help show, it's a low-pressure hang with two curious minds, trying new things and asking the questions we all wonder but rarely say out loud.
