On this special Thanksgiving episode of MAD RUSH, we are honoring the life and legacy of Jack O’Kelley. It has now been two years since Jack died from fentanyl poisoning after taking what he believed was a simple Xanax. In today’s replay, Trisha revisits her powerful conversation with Angela King, Jack’s mother, who has turned unimaginable grief into a mission that saves lives. Angela speaks openly about the night everything changed, the hidden dangers of fake pills, and why fentanyl is no longer a “back-alley” drug—it’s in every community, on campuses, at concerts, and in the hands of kids who don’t realize the risk. Her message is clear: one pill can change everything, and education is our strongest defense. If you’re spending today with loved ones, this episode is a reminder of how important these conversations are—and how much good can come from one family’s courage to speak out.
