Summary

Lillo Brancato Jr. (Sopranos, A Bronx Tale) calls in and tells us about the time he overdosed in prison and how he subsequently got clean a few days later. We play a very articulate voice memo from long time listener and lovely southern belle, Leah. She tell us how she used to steal medication from the veterinarian and about how she got sober. We call Nick Reiner.... and he answers... while partying at the swanky Chateau Marmont. Dave talks about ”relax-o” (xanax). Chris retells a story about a horrific cocaine overdose.

Chris you've been getting a lot of praise recently. That's because I was like begging for it. Yeah,

0:36.8

people have been bashing me even Scott dude. I think Scott did. I don't know why he's doing that. I always thought Scott

0:42.5

was camp Chris and he turns back on me. It's Camp David now. I think it's called camp David. Camp David. Yeah,

0:49.5

let's just place where presidents go. Camp David. Oh yeah, in Texas. I think it's in Maine. Is it in Texas?

0:56.2

I don't know. I didn't remember Bush used to go to Texas. I don't know nothing. I don't less than nothing about politics.

1:01.2

Oh, I wish we could play that game that I didn't invent. The game which is do you know less than Chris?

1:07.7

When you play the game of thrones, you win or die. All right Chris, I'm going to say a few names.

1:14.1

Well explain what the game is first. Okay, I'm making it up as we go. But explain you you have a premise

information. There's similarities, information and figure out the other one is drawn of blank

2:07.0

right now and vocabulary. Information is like specific questions and I actually do really well in

2:13.5

but the last time I took it, right, to get extended time for the GREs, the administrator, she told me

2:21.5
