0:00.0	Sup you beautiful bastards. Don't be a fantastic weekend.
0:02.9	Welcome to another weekend deep dive. My name is Philip DeFranco, and today we're
0:06.9	to be talking about the opioid epidemic.
0:08.8	Now over the last few months we've covered several disturbing stories on the main
0:11.5	show concerning the role of pharmaceutical companies

1:06.2	the attention for flooding communities with opioids like OxyContin and
1:09.0	fentanyl, there is actually another company that has largely fallen below the
1:12.0	radar. And it's a company that was supposed to help solve the opioid epidemic.
