No one's going to be able to [get sober] as long as we keep giving away money to people because they don't try.

With his trademark candor, Bob talks about everything from the misleading narratives spun by politicians and big pharma to the grim realities of crime and homelessness in the US.

The duo doesn't shy away from controversial topics like government aid for drug addicts and the exploitation within the recovery industry. Bob's raw storytelling will leave you informed, thoughtful, and maybe even a bit shaken. If you're looking for an unvarnished look at addiction and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
