Episode 10: Despair,Chaos and Hope in San Francisco!

Hi y’all! Sorry we didn’t release an episode last week. We had some technical difficulties but rest assured, unlike Kurtis’s career, the Addicts Podcast is alive and well! Andy and Kurtis try to solve San Francisco’s abysmal human feces problem and riff on Ronald Reagan’s policy on mentally ill people. Watch out y’all, the boys are solving the world’s problems! The homey Kurtis pops off on how even though he didn’t poo on the streets, he pooped on all his relationships. Andy tries to share his story a bit and Kurtis tells Andy to stop. Kurtis loves to bring good content to a screeching halt. Eventually, Kurtis starts being kind to his young son Andy and this episode is very worth hearing. Kurtis eventually manages to be quiet for a minute while the kid AG provides wonderful insight on how societal influences might make alcohol tougher to recover from than heroin. Oh snap! The boys talk a smidge about their families on this one y’all! Andy came up Mormon and still got into heroin? Say whaaaa? Thankfully Andy’s dad is a Mormon superhero was still there to beat up people who tried to offer him cigarettes. Kurtis attempts to articulate the difference between building a new life for yourself and merely abstaining but eventually crashes and burns, and just complains about bills and the IRS.
