Holy Sh*t I thought we'd never get this one done, I better upload this f***er now before Mike Martt's computer crashes again! Don't Die turns 300 thru much calamity: Three recording sessions (THANK YOU WAG!), hours of phone calls and emails, sick kids, sick parents, computer crashes, software freezes, empty back up files. Some family and friends drop by with words of encouragement for the intro and outro and the boys get down to bu...

We're back to talk the LA Wildfires, so much devastation to so many people we love, a tragedy like never before and maybe, terrifying thought, the new normal for Southern California
Our hearts are with everyone who lost their homes, livelihoods, loved ones this week
Stop Dyin, Los Angeles! This episode was recorded the night before the fires really went, you can actually hear things ramping up as the episode goes on. Post a follow up shortly to talk about them. 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!
Stop Dying, Santa!

Love to you and yours!

Don't Die had some technical difficulties of late, Mike Martt's laptop not really following the golden rule of Stop Dying! Sometimes DD record two a night depending on everyone's availability, so after an election night episode crashed, before it was clearly gone forever, the boys recorded an ending for it, leading into a new episode with a special guest, then Elijah spliced the whole mess together for a little radical honesty in b...
