Don't Die with Bob Forest
Don't Die goes into the tragedy of this week, the worst case scenario of addiction in America and what we can do about it, as well as the foiled Turtle Island Liberation Front plot, and look on the bright side of life with Rob Reiner's amazing career, you need the right drugs for EDM, which musical acts always bring it live, Styx, Chiacgo, Psychic TV, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, all the different Bob Dylans and Elvis Forrest becoming self sufficient and a magical musician A Hell of a week RIP Rob & Michelle Reiner Love and courage to Lucas, Romy & Jake Reiner and all their friends and family
Bob has a bone to pick with 12 step folks who criticize working in recovery; let 'em kick on your couch then! Long ramble that goes from taking your kid(Elijah) on the 12 step call from Hell to Kiss taking the Kennedy Center Honors Fran Leibovitz turned down, Chuk couldn't wait to get off work today, Bob let's the kids try and fail but no crying over spilt milk, Rush is getting back together, can you believe we used to let pregnant women use the internet?
Don't Die speaks to the newcomer, every kid plays Roblox in a sick society, for Bob the steps aren't some all important guide to life, living off the grid and not getting high in early sobriety
A big one going into the holiday, Don't Die asks AI for a bunch of stats on addiction, voting and when it thinks the revolution is coming, Bob recounts Norwood Fisher knocking out 5 bouncers, as well as taking a beating from Axl Rose and then going to Canter's together, Paul Mccartney is way too kind for everything he's been thru (you try being in a band with John!), Don't Die all loved the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, Bob loves Jesse Jackson, Chuk and Elijah love Jesse Wells, Bright Eyes, Rube Waddell, You Can't Win by Jack Black, Nick Tosches, Chat Pile, Rain kills people in LA and we need to read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...
Big music episode - the music mainstream is Disney and that's OK, Radiohead are not that important, Justin Timberlake very important,Elvis Forrest and the emo screamo slam scene, One Big Party festival, Elliott Smith, No Age, Best Coast, the Smell and Tom Petty's first album cover was hot
Bob and Chuk break down the hierarchy of rehab staffing and choosing a rehab, 40 years of experience between them, Bob quits AA over God talk and goes to a dodger game (40 years ago), Steven Adler, Gloria Scott, Hazelden, Peer Leaders and service keeps us sober
Here we go again Facts Versus Feelings with our bullsh*t detectors RIP D'Angelo & Ace Frehley
Things get political around the Don't Die-osphere as Bob predicts a clampdown on drug users and the next president of the USA
Don't Die are getting ready for Ohana fest, Bob & Elvis just played Norwood Fisher's 60th Birthday, don't email Bob just text, all the guys saw Oasis and had a blast, Methadone is back in force and they shoulda lowered the Flags to half mast for Redd Foxx.
