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."

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. 

How do vampires bone non-vampires? Will Kevin get a bionic foot at some point and will it accidentally start a nuclear war? And how do people in recovery deal with surgeries and pain meds? Kevin gets honest. 

Impulse Control Disorder. Wtf is that? Does anyone care? Ryan has a bad trip. Patrick may be wanted for attempted murder. How to properly buy Whippets from a porn store in the 90s. And Patrick wants to get know the boys better with "behind the actors studio" questions and it goes as well as you might think.

This one is about morphine...and codeine...and Ketamine...and propofol...These are a few of our favorite things.

What makes a coke head a coke head? Are their ideas really as good as they say they are? And what's with all the lists? Patrick explains. Plus should Kevin go on a spirit quest with ayahuasca? Probably not, right? Drug-reference packed episode. Buckle Up.

Pink Floyd and Benzos. Japan has its own language? 100% increase in fatal drug overdoses. Did any one catch the masters? The real question is 'what didn't we cover this episode?'

What does white privilege mean within the addicted and alcoholic community? Here are some of the first hand accounts from those within that community directly effected by that privilege. Uncomfortable ? Good. 

Safer at home...but is it, really? How are addicts and alcoholics dealing with the isolation? How is COVID effecting prisons and jails? Is it finally proving that jail sentences are arbitrary and punitive? Or is this just another thing for Ryan to get irritated by?
