The election is separating people so much more. I think it's more like the liberals are being the divisive ones because they hate Trump so much that they'll elect somebody who's legally fucking dead just to get him out of office.
Imagine working as a roofer in the sweltering heat of Arizona while grappling with the aftermath of addiction. That’s the backdrop for Aaron and Juan in this engaging episode of the SFU Podcast. They dive into their thoughts on the recent election, painting a vivid picture of what it’s like to navigate political turbulence from the perspective of average Americans living just above the poverty line. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The conversation meanders through the labyrinth of drug culture, touching on the social acceptability of substances like cocaine and the heavy stigma that shadows addiction and recovery. The duo also doesn’t shy away from discussing healthcare challenges, particularly the struggle to access medical treatment without insurance and the financial burden it brings. COVID-19 makes its way into their chat, too, as they share personal stories about how the pandemic has impacted their lives and work.
One of the more poignant moments comes when Aaron and Juan reflect on reconnecting with old friends after addiction had severed those ties. They also throw in some thoughts on political affiliations and even Kanye West’s political ambitions, adding a dash of humor to serious topics. The SFU Podcast is known for its unique blend of low-brow comedy and deep introspection, and this episode is no different.
It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughter to contemplation, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction recovery, politics, or just a good story told with raw honesty.
