Neither Dave nor I hold any hatred in our heart, except for ourselves, and I thought we discriminate equally across all race and creed.

This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, starting with Dave's hilarious yet poignant tale of squirting a childhood friend with a water gun. It’s not just about the laughs, though; the hosts dive deep into the concept of relapse, exploring its complexities and the impact it has on recovery journeys.
