Well that kinda snuck up on us! We're getting old, Bob's freaking out about 64 but not going to the doctor, Aimee Davis made a good bet on Chuk, Tom Arnold is hilarious, the kids are doing good, we're not dying and that's plenty, RFK is not the first AA in the whitehouse, Elijah had some opportunities, trauma and drinking were good for Bob's development and the Wall Street Journal ain't scary or outta line. Business as usual round here.

Next one's gonna be a special celebration of the Don't Die mission with a buncha guests checking in on our boys, be sure to tune in for EPISODE THREE HUNDRED!

Stop Dying, Don't Diehards! Bob's turning 64 today, Amoeba is the greatest record store in the world, Elvis and his friends are good kids, Isaiah Forrest shouldn't drink ranch, Huntington Beach is cool or used to be cool, most people in the American prison system have drug problems and nobody comes out ok and we gotta celebrate the survival stories of sobriety!

Grammys Special! Don't Die won four Grammys this year, but apparently Bob was the only person who was informed! Elijah actually watched the awards! Chuk, ever the voice of reason, had zero interest! Also: Psychedelics are not Narcotics, America is a land of opportunity, how to fail at stealing Best Folk Album Grammy, our first drugs, people used to stand outside clubs and talk and hang out all night, NRBQ, Elvis Costello and Sierra Ferell

Bob and the guys are back at it, going deep into the wanton cruelty of the suburban driver and the entitled Californian, the history of AA, the wildfires, sober fatherhood of adult addicts and more. Shoutouts to the great William Roper, Gloria Scott and Clancy. Don't die everybody, love your fucken neighbor or else!

We're back to talk the LA Wildfires, so much devastation to so many people we love, a tragedy like never before and maybe, terrifying thought, the new normal for Southern California

Our hearts are with everyone who lost their homes, livelihoods, loved ones this week

Stop Dyin, Los Angeles! This episode was recorded the night before the fires really went, you can actually hear things ramping up as the episode goes on. Post a follow up shortly to talk about them. Our hearts go out to the family of our dear departed man Tony Malone and everyone who has being effected by these wildfires. Look out for your neighbor! God Bless Altadena & Tony Maloney!

Don't Die has a big announcement, Dopey Nation is going live in LA and Bob hates Zoom AA meetings! Or maybe he just thinks that the real help and sobriety comes from face to face interactions and humility and kindness and discomfort that being online doesn't really allow for. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Go see Bob live at Dopey Wood January 11th!

Stop Dying, Santa! Here goes: topics discussed include Christmas spirit, giving gifts, Boxcar Willie, buying inflatable Christmas decorations on a discount, Elvis Forrest's 60 dollar underwear, Tyler the Creator, Westminster Mall and all the rest.
