I liked cheap, cheap, gross beer. Cans and cans and cans. As many as possible.
In this episode of The Way Out Podcast, comedian Patrick Holbert joins hosts Charlie and Jason to share his journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery. Patrick's candid recounting of his love for cheap beer and the quirky rituals that accompanied his drinking days sets the stage for a heartfelt discussion on the transformative power of sobriety.
