Billy Holiday is the Michael Jordan of Heroin
Don't Die Wisconsin
The boys are on a roll. 2 episodes in a row! The boys discuss harm reduction models, safe consumption sites, decriminalization, and so so much more. Patrick gets his harm reduction card back just minutes after it being taken away as he sloughs off the last of his more conservative views on the war on drugs. Yes. That's the correct spelling of "slough."

Don't Die Wisconsin
It's season 2 of DDW! No, really. 2021 has been a jumble of job changes, babies, COVID, depression, and general too-busy-for-this-podcast-BS for the boys...but they're back in action. Season 2 starts out with a bang: talking about addiction, drugs, death/dying, ideal funerals, death awareness meditation, Ryan's new mental health diagnoses, and some other super joyful shit.

info_outlineThe dudes are back and live (again) at the Milwaukee Junior Fire Institute with Fireman Jeff. The guys share abbreviated versions of their stories and answer some great questions from the audience in attendance. Things get a bit heated around the question of Marijuana legalization, but settle down as they talk about the love and compassion that is necessary to tackle the opioid epidemic. The microphone on the floor didn't work, so Ryan has attempted to make the audio a bit louder for those questions. The result is a bit harsh. Apologies.
