Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

It’s International Podcast Day and we’re celebrating with a powerhouse guest from Canada! In this riveting episode of Better Call Daddy, hosts Reena Friedman Watts and Wayne Friedman sit down with the dynamic Crash, creator of the award-winning podcast Crash and Burn.
With a gift for storytelling and a heart of gold, Crash shares her incredible journey of resilience, creativity, and transformation.
The episode opens with a powerful poem from Crash, setting the tone for an emotional and inspiring conversation. From her adoption story as one of ten children—and later meeting both of her older sisters from her biological mother—to surviving an abusive marriage where she was locked in a basement for two weeks and left for dead, Crash’s honesty and courage will leave listeners both moved and motivated.
She shares how leaving that relationship became the turning point that led to her becoming clean and sober for 16 years, reclaiming her life, and stepping fully into her creativity. Through poetry and art, Crash found healing and a way to connect with others who have faced hardship.
Along the way, she pays tribute to those who have touched her journey, including a young boy named Jake whose memory continues to inspire her.
This episode is a raw and uplifting exploration of survival, forgiveness, sobriety, and embracing our past as part of who we are. Crash reminds us that even through darkness, we can rise, create, and help others do the same.
