AL and Tom are joined by Ryan and Rory Van Tuinten. Upon breezing through a local newspaper, Tom found an inspiring story about a fellow Vermonter who managed to kick heroin addiction with the help of Ayahuasca and his Brother Ryan.

Ryan used Ayahuasca which is a hallucinogen that is illegal in the US and UK, to help him with depression. Rory, his brother was suffering badly with his addiction to heroin and was on a very high dose (160mg!!) of methadone, which he labels as "liquid handcuffs". Ayahuasca was introduced to Rory as a way to try and wean himself of the methadone, which proved highly successful. 

Listen podcast is a heartfelt, inspiring discussion  that could potentially help others. Or at least this can open up healthy discussions where people can open up about addiction. You can get in touch with Rory and Ryan through their very helpful website https://www.cultivatingconnectionsvt.com/ They are eager to talk to other and possibly help others through their fight with addiction.

Previous to the interview, AL and Tom get into a full review of Mortal Kombat (spoilers).

You may have seen the gnarly video of Tom having a tumour removed from his leg. Well the timing couldn't have been any more perfect for this week's guest as AL and Tom speak to Dr Celina Nadelman, one of the best biopsy doctors in America.

Dr Nadelman is one of very few doctors in the U.S. to uniquely serve as both a board certified Cytopathologist and a fine needle aspiration (FNA) specialist. Running her own stand alone FNA clinic in Beverley Hills Dr Nadelman is one of only about a dozen other professionals in America to do so.

This podcast dives right in with discussions about Tom's bought with cancer when he was 16, what he is dealing with now and some very helpful advice about finding ways to be your own health advocate.

Dr Nadelman is brilliant at explaining the complicated details of her profession and adding a simplicity to it all so simpletons like me, Tom and hopefully you, the listener can easily understand. What a truly fantastic guest! - AL

Join  AL, TS, Jamie and Orey as they send off AL's era of The Weekly Bizarre on his last episode.

We have some great, yet bizarre stories to discuss and laugh about. We also have an extreme Gauntlet for Jamie.

What's different from this episode to any other? AL is on one!!

Join the guys as they catch up in our 27th edition of USUK Wednesday Night Liiiiiive!!! - Except it's not live and it's released on a Thursday. The hosts are nice though! 

AL and Tom chat with Ben Fuchs or as he's know as "Pharmacist Ben" 

Ben tells us how this all began for him and where his journey has taken him.

Thanks for stopping by Ben, we really valued our chat with you!

AL and Orey sit and discuss some rather strange stories that have been trending this week with James Finney, host of "Father Finney's The Best That Man Can Get".  A great podcast that acts as a guide for folks going through that "mid-life Crisis"

There are some fantastic and totally bonkers moments during this episode that was destined to be flawed from the beginning. We feature another story that went on to become a viral, meme sensation, a battle between 2 supermarkets, featuring the hashtag #FreeCuthbert 

We also, of course, run our guest through the Gauntlet, which is a challenge for most behind a mic, but how will James fair?

Join Jamie, Tom and David as they have a great time catching up.

This episode is taken from last week's live show. The audio is sexified a little but this comes to you 100% unedited so, no #releasetheUSUKVerse tags please guys!
