Episode 4: Tina Dybal

Rafe and Steve have an open, personal, and honest conversation with comedian Tina Dybal about the topic of addiction and all of the struggles that come with it. In between, they also talk about Belorussian anchor babies, gross fermented foods, crazy behind-the-scenes tales working in hospital surgery, and the infamous "Suh-Dude" viral video.

A word from Rafe:

This topic is near and dear to my heart as I have had my own personal struggles with the demons of addiction. I commend Tina on her honesty and bravery in having a straightforward, visceral, and raw discussion about the power of addiction and the fight for recovery. If you are struggling with addiction of any kind, I promise you that you are not alone. Check out the links below and remember that every day is an opportunity to make a big change.
