Rock Bottoms: A Podcast Of Substance

Rock Bottoms: A Podcast Of Substance

Two sober losers, Amanda and Dave, will discuss addiction: from booze to sex to coke the drug to Coke the soda and provide zero advice along the way. It's sobriety without the woo woo wellness jargon or judgement. Just two idiots and two mics. Get ready to hear about the highs (hah) and lows on the path to a drug and alcohol free life.

Dave and Amanda play a game of "which actor's vanity side-project rock band is this?" How many can you guess??? Bottoming this week: relapse nightmares, running into your mom at the Oasis concert, and what makes the best cocaine. 

(Note: Dave's audio/video stopped recording towards the end of the show, unbeknownst to the hosts, so tune into the last ten minutes or so only if you want to hear the ina...

Dave and Amanda (the Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi of podcasting) encourage all of their listeners to buy guns and drink their own pee. They discuss losing your mystique to the internet, the Sobriety Refund Clause™ at weddings, J. Edgar Hoover vs. Herbert Hoover, the Spartans, Thomas Haden Church, and of course, The Knicks.

Amanda’s brain briefly tricks her into thinking she can do drugs again without anything bad happening. Dave recounts his magical night at the Pornhub Awards, and a "who wore it best?" scenario.

Dave has a HUGE announcement. Amanda has PTSD while drinking fake alcohol on a date. At large, the bottoms talk about porn addiction. They also touch on the culture-shifting scene from Girls when Marnie gets her ass eaten, but want to remind everyone that ultimately, unofficially, this is a podcast about Mad Men. Tune in if you want to hear the hosts name drop the adult film actors they want to meet.

Amanda and Dave experiment with a virtual podcast studio, a sound board, and a non-alcoholic beverage. The Bottoms discuss how to talk to an addict, court-ordered rehab, the benefits of sobriety to your skin, mainlining Benadryl, and being passed out and covered in cheese. 

Thank you for bearing with us as we figure out this format and sort through technical difficulties. Amanda would also like to apologize for all the...

Dave forced Amanda to watch an episode of "Doctor Odyssey" and now they have to talk about it. The Bottoms emphatically renounce a certain "dream guest" and explore the portrayal of addiction, both shoddy and accurate, on various television series. Guess which host has a higher tolerance for being around drunk people, drinks Pepsi Max, and hates karaoke! Hey, is Bono sober?

Dave and Amanda don't have advice about getting sober. They're both addicts who are somehow still alive, not drinking or using, and they want to talk about it candidly. We discuss our sober time, Russell Brand's asshole, a fake James Franco's huge bag of blow, and lame hobbies that replace drinking alcohol.
