How to (successfully) go 3 months without shitting, and how to file down a football pump for shooting dope (don't try any of this at home, ever).

Drugs are Cheaper if You're Naked with Alison Knight
Jun 08, 2020
Show notes
Episode 51. For Alison and her gang of morally depraved degenerates—known as the Manson Family—Isla Vista, CA in the 1990s was the party scene of all party scenes. The beachside college town was host to all kinds of mad shenanigans that ordinarily involved thousands of acid trips, car-jacking, white drugs, skateboarding, stripping naked, punk shows and Zima. Lots of Zima. Alison is 15 years sober today and joins us to share all this and more with you.

Doing Drugs with Acronyms with Awesome Haley, plus Everything was Diamonds and Glitter with Cesar
May 11, 2020
Show notes
Episode 48. This week we have a double header for you. First up is Awesome Haley. A long-time fan from Missouri who has stories of DMT-making, mail-order research chemicals, haunted hotels, rubber-tramping gone bad and, of course, Juggalos. Haley is great and we are so grateful for her coming on. Then we have something totally different. What can you say about Cesar? He's in the thick of it. Turned onto drugs in his thirties after therapy didn't take, he's got stories of Grindr dates gone awry and narrowly skating by on several troubled Hollywood escapades. Hope you enjoy his madness.
Red Dirt Meth and Nebraskan Exorcisms with David
May 04, 2020
Show notes
Episode 47. Our guest this week is a longtime listener from Nebraska. David traded time between Lincoln and Fremont chasing meth and leading a blue-collar double-life between managing a restaurant and dealing with speed freaks. He toured the South as a drummer in a Red Dirt country band and caught a felony possession charge on a residue amount. Not to mention a deeply haunted apartment, Xanax nods, making love with lightning bugs, and the exorcism of his abusive ex-girlfriend. Congrats on one year clean, David. And thanks for sharing your worst life decisions with us.
The Heroic Dose with Michael Angelos
Apr 27, 2020
Show notes
Episode 46. A self-proclaimed “terrible junkie” who would rather do his drugs alone in a bathroom than deal with the dirt, hustle and anxieties of life on the streets. Like a Larry David heroin addict who didn’t want to sit in traffic to cop. Michael Angelos grew up in Malibu and started getting himself in trouble very early with his first brush with sobriety at just 16 years old. He spent the 80s and 90s in and out of the Hollywood rock scene with bands like Jane’s Addiction—a scene where “you had to do heroin with just to get your foot in the door.” But the truth is, Michael’s real problems with addiction are around food. He’s the guy who would kick heroin but get caught sneaking cookies in treatment. Meanwhile Russian Danny crashes with the hippies at Occupy LA, Keith reflects on his Hollywood drug dealing days, Mike talks OCD and marijuana and Angelos walks us through his therapeutic experience hippie-flipping on a Heroic Dose of mushrooms.
Russian Danny's Ex-Fiancé, Sasha

Episode 45. They never got married, but still spent a honeymoon squatting at playhouses, apartments and Uhauls all over town as they smoked, shot and stole their way to rock bottom. Eventually, they pawned their engagement rings for $20 worth of methadone and checked into rehab. Here they are today, to tell us all about young love and bad memories in the heart of Hollywood.
Gunfire in the Hospital and Hangovers at Preschool

Episode 44. Two places you don’t exactly want to see bad behavior. Methed-out, Peter goes up against forty cops in a hospital. Gets shot five times and faces five years in prison. Luckily he had his colostomy bag to keep him company. Meanwhile Olivia gets promoted, praised and forgiven for her consistent black-out drinking when she first moved to LA. Really this episode is about two VERY different people who both kept standing back up after getting knocked down hard. When, sometimes, the best thing to do is stay down a while. Rest, recover and figure out what you're doing. Eventually, they did just that. And we were lucky enough to have them on pre-quarantine to share their stories. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, when we were all still trying to make sense of what this virus was and who it would be affecting. Simpler times. Enjoy.
Tweakers You Can Spot from Space with Gary and Reno Part II
Apr 06, 2020
Show notes
Episode 43. This week we pick up where we left off. Working in the recovery and the healthcare industry is hard enough sober. Stress. Mental illness. Pulling things out of patients' buttholes. Etc. Try it with a drug habit. In this episode we talk healthcare and schizophrenia. Threesomes and mushrooms. Zimas and drunkenly auditioning for The Price is Right. Reno walks all over town, Keith scores big at a garage sale and all parties slowly find their way out of that life. With the ability now to spot a tweaker a mile away. Especially say, a dude in a trench coat biking through the rain with a microwave tucked under his arm. For instance.
