Episode 13 of The Trunk Tales features Erik (@NoCinErik) — a medically retired U.S. Army veteran, father of four, and a man whose story is equal parts heavy, inspiring, and brutally honest. Two of Erik’s daughters are non-verbal autistic, and one of them recently underwent a pediatric heart transplant due to a congenital heart condition.Hosts Andrew Lemacks (He’s Wrong She’s Right) and Grimzy (Grimzy News) sit down with Erik for a raw conversation about military life, leadership, special-needs parenting, months in the hospital, mental health, and what it means to keep going when life absolutely refuses to let up.From dark humor and infantry horror stories to ICU nights, transplant waiting, and small daily wins with his kids, this episode hits hard in every direction.Chapters00:00:00 – Cold Open, Chaos & Intro00:00:42 – Meet Erik / NoCinErik Joins the Show00:01:24 – Livestream Callback & 1,000 Sub Giveaway Winner Note00:01:43 – Cav, Shroomzy & the X Corner00:03:18 – Department of Goofy Detection & Prevention Story00:06:05 – Facebook, Political Posting & Algorithm Weirdness00:09:11 – “Goat F***ers”, Islam, and Afghanistan Rant00:13:27 – Uncontacted Tribes, Drones & Conspiracy Brain00:18:05 – Breaking His Back, Early Injury & Going Green-to-Gold00:22:01 – Recruiting, Waivers, DUIs & ASVAB Scores00:27:24 – Forrest Gump, Gomer Pyle & the Dumbest Guys in Uniform00:40:59 – Surviving the Cut, Darby Queen00:46:02 – Leading Soldiers with Disabled Kids & Family Realities in Command00:50:10 – Red Cross Messages, Abuse of the System & Consequences00:58:26 – Daughter’s Congenital Heart Defect01:01:11 – “We Almost Lost Her”01:02:19 – Going Viral on X & The Community Rallying Around the Family01:03:58 – Back to Texas, Valve Repair & Hearing 01:05:25 – 100 Days In-House & Transplant Day01:07:25 – Life on the Transplant Floor, Other Families & Survivor’s Guilt01:12:29 – Non-Verbal but Aware01:13:54 – Autism, Communication, Signing & Therapy Plans01:15:33 – His Son, Development, and Siblings in a Special-Needs Household01:17:58 – Parenting, ER Work & Avoiding Burnout01:19:29 – Depression, Doom & Gloom, and Staying Out of the Hole01:23:20 – Living in the Hospital: Beds, Back Pain & Weight Gain01:25:17 – Eloping, Safety at Home 01:26:27 – Shout-Outs, Community Support01:28:26 – Grimzy’s Monologue: Calling Out Real Strength & Fatherhood01:34:39 – Advice to Other Parents: Don’t Hide Your Story01:33:04 – Trunk of the Week Pick01:36:35 – Wrap-Up, Laughs & OutroTHE TRUNK TALES 1,000 SUBSCRIBER GIVEAWAYOfficial rules and the current partner list:https://thetrunktales.comGiveaway Partners: https://x.com/ExUmbrisDesigns https://x.com/WL_TAChttps://x.com/nola_nobody https://x.com/Luth_AR_LLC https://x.com/BuffaloRon / https://x.com/BuffaloWoolCo https://x.com/Brushbeater https://x.com/mnsibley https://x.com/joelgaines https://x.com/StackEmUpAgain https://x.com/malletcncworks https://x.com/Junkyardtactic https://x.com/Psy_ware https://x.com/MedicNamedHopehttps://x.com/ClaudesBBQ https://x.com/T00ManyCommies https://x.com/BudLightSadnesshttps://x.com/warhelaphantStay ConnectedWebsite: https://thetrunktales.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrunkTalesSpotify: https://lemacks.app/tttspotifyX: https://lemacks.app/tttxSubstack: https://lemacks.app/tttsubstackPatreon: https://lemacks.app/tttpatreonReddit: https://lemacks.app/tttredditFacebook: https://lemacks.app/tttfbInstagram: https://lemacks.app/tttigThreads: https://lemacks.app/tttthreadsRSS: https://lemacks.app/tttrssOfficial Merch Partner: https://lemacks.app/tttamericanlictorMusic by: https://x.com/J_to_the_AYProduced by: https://lemacksmedia.comOur Other Show – He’s Wrong She’s RightYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HesWrongShesRightWebsite: https://heswrongshesright.comHosts:Andrew Lemacks — https://x.com/lemacksmediaGrimzy News — https://x.com/GrimzyIIx
