I think I'm dying. So anyway, so the two-day trials and tribulations, urgent care doctor's office, talking to Dr. Drew.
In this episode of Bob Forrest's Don't Die Podcast, Bob, Chuk, and Elijah dive into a week filled with heavy experiences and raw reflections. Bob shares a harrowing tale of battling RSV during his sober anniversary, highlighting the importance of self-care, especially as one ages. He recounts how Dr. Drew Pinsky's intervention was crucial in his recovery, adding a touch of humour about old age and health mishaps.
The episode takes a sombre turn as the trio discusses America's ongoing battle with drug addiction, the political and societal challenges contributing to the crisis, and the tragic loss of young lives to fentanyl. The conversation touches on the Ohtani scandal, emergency bathroom incidents, and wild stories from Bob's past with Porno for Pyros. The hosts also emphasise the urgent need for open discussions about drug abuse and its devastating effects on communities.
With a mix of personal anecdotes, hard-hitting truths, and a dash of humour, this episode is both an eye-opener and a call to action for those affected by addiction.
