You know that sense of worthlessness and purposelessness, and not being present in the day, not being thankful for what I have so much and yet still like it's not enough, I can't.
Reconnecting with old friends can bring unexpected joy, and that's exactly what happened when Nick Morton sat down with Jed Weitzman for this episode of The Drunkalogues. Jed, who Nick fondly refers to as 'Hollywood royalty' (though Jed might humbly disagree), has worn many hats in the entertainment industry. From working on SNL to managing talent, and from being a music executive to producing films and TV shows, Jed's career is nothing short of impressive.

He doesn't shy away from discussing the dark times—those moments of feeling worthless and purposeless, and the constant struggle of not being present in the moment despite having so much.
It's a narrative that many can relate to, whether they're battling addiction themselves or supporting someone who is. Nick and Jed's chat isn't just about the lows, though.

Jed's insights are heartfelt and thought-provoking, offering listeners a glimpse into the ongoing journey of overcoming addiction.
His experiences in Hollywood add a unique twist to his story, making this episode a compelling listen for anyone interested in the intersection of fame, addiction, and recovery.
