Ex drug dealer, standup comedian and absolute legend Andrew Hamilton joined the boys for a chat during the Gladstone stint of his regional tour. This bloke has lived quite the life and takes us through the process of his first Magic Mushrooms experience and how that developed to becoming a full time drug dealer. We dive in to how he got in prison and discuss the pros and cons of his 4 months stint in the clink before discussing how he found stand up as a therapeutic way to work through his problems and turn his life around for the better before we finish off discussion around his own avenues of content and then the guest questions. This legend provided plenty of laughs and is definitely one of the most insane stories we've had on the show yet. Enjoy legends!
