Notes From The Pen

Bobby gives Co-host JD (and us) the inside scoop of sports betting behind bars, and Draft King has nothing to worry about. Bobby also shares how long it's been since he's been able to listen to stand up comedy, and how comedy has helped him through many hard times in his life. With Doug Stanhope's guidance, Bobby is prepping for his first gig on stage as a free man which isn't that far away. To hear the full episode join us on Patreon:

Bobby and Co-host JD bring us up to date with embarrassing songs on Bobby's play list, and updates on the mandatory drug class inmates have to take prior to release. How prison addiction programs don't have enough slots for current inmates on the waiting list because they keep filling them with new ones. How it's creating a revolving door because the prison doesn't have enough funding or staff to handle addiction issues behind bars.

To hear the rest of this episode join us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=56777802 where the guys continue talking about the prison drug addiction class, what's in store when Bobby's released, the parallels of a movie character called Walter Mitty, and Bobby's glasses are being held together with bread ties.
