17 GIU 2025 · 🧾 Show Notes:Doug’s back! In the Subaru, in the parking lot. Dave’s depressed because his dehumidifier sucks. Reddit trolls say the teaser and YouTube are trash. Dave reads feedback, gets defensive, then promotes Patreon. Harley Flanagan story: punk rock prodigy, molested, violent, stabbing at CBGBs, Rikers, Cro-Mags beef. Dave fantasizes about reuniting Harley and John Joseph on Dopey. Doug critiques AA meetings, newcomers double/triple dipping. Dave freaks out about not getting full share time. Pete gives “God morning” texts to everyone except Dave. Dave volunteers to bring cake but refuses to serve it. Ice cream talk: Ninja Creamy, protein sorbet, and Ghirardelli brookies. Email shoutouts: Esteban the weed-brained Sinatra singer, Kitty Cat Collins, and Lou on Fentanyl Jay. Final thoughts: you can't get someone sober unless they want it, and Dave didn't take sleep aids for one night.
