Summary

Episode Notes: Intro & New Year Kickoff — First Friday 2026; Cosmo Lombino (Queen of Melrose) joins for epic interview; Dave undecided but leaning into full-week schedule. Personal Vibes — Family crisis tease (more next week); Avatar: The Last Airbender obsession with 7-year-old; Breaking Bad rewatch debate (lacks heart vs. Sopranos/Wire). Listener Interactions — Spotify comments (mushroom hunting tips, Foxy clarification, small-town relatability); voicemails (lunchbox theft windfall gone wrong, Hexen paranoia nightmare); Minnesota Matt's crack-in-exam email. Guest Spotlight: Cosmo Lambino — Harlem mob kid roots, gay coming-of-age, freebase spiral, MacArthur Park bottom, Tarzana turnaround, daily steps/meditation routine, Soft White Underbelly fame, current 8+ years sober. Recovery & Community — Daily reprieve emphasis; Queen & Sober meetings; shout-outs to admins, contributors, Canadians challenge.
