The boys talk about sex drive in early recovery and Andy makes a weird case for public masturbation. Andy wonders if Kurtis would continue a comedy show if Andy literally dies onstage.

Kurtis continues to smoke too much and Andy continues to be fat and powerful. Kurtis talks about how even though he has 34 years sober, he can still learn. This is of course not impressive because Kurtis is very dumb. 

Also, Andy speaks Eskimo in a way that only people who like fart jokes might enjoy! This may very well be the finest podcast ever recorded!

Episode 8: Dead Sponsors!

The boys pop off about triggers in the media. Can movies and TV shows like Narcos cause a person in recovery to have cravings? What an exciting question! Kurtis blames Andy's fatness on his inability to bring ladies home. Andy confesses that he is occasionally deceived by the "fun" memories of active addiction, but thankfully, Kurtis is there to provide sage wisdom to his beloved boy, Andy.

Kurtis talks about his love of Vegas while Andy wishes Vegas was like it was in the old days even though he wasn’t there. Andy cops to his genius comedy hook of eating ass that frightened his mom and mercifully died quickly on Twitter.

Later in the episode, the kid AG and the old boy Kurtis spin yarns about comedy and their love of making people laugh despite the industry having no love for their genius. The topic turns to gratitude and Andy expresses his despite having extremely abysmal living circumstances. Kurtis continues to shame young Andy about touching his private area.

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.
