Facing Addiction and Society's Challenges: Bob Forrest's Unfiltered Talk
Death is an actual physical kind of weird mechanized thing, and when us addicts say, well, I don't care if I die, I like to make it more concrete.
Ever feel like social media is turning us into zombies? In this episode of Bob Forrest's 'Don't Die Podcast', Bob, Chuk, and Mike tackle some heavy topics with their signature raw honesty. They start by addressing the grim reality of death for addicts and how making it more concrete can be a wake-up call. But that's just the beginning.
The trio dives into the dehumanizing effects of social media, comparing it to a modern-day disease that we desperately need to detox from. Bob even opens up about his own past struggles with food addiction, sharing a nostalgic yet eye-opening tale involving Fatburger. The conversation takes a turn towards the absurdity of some pandemic mask-wearing rules and the importance of Covid vaccination, especially in public spaces like Dodger Stadium.
They don't shy away from controversial questions either, like whether it's ever okay to tell people to go ahead and use drugs if they want. This episode is a no-holds-barred discussion that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of addiction and its ripple effects on society. If you're looking for an unfiltered take on some of today's most pressing issues, this episode is a must-listen.
