Bob Forrest's Don't Die Podcast

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!

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!
