## Resource

The Boys are Back - together they catch listeners up on David's recovery journey and the lessons he's learned during the last 100 days of sobriety, Breht's writers block and new job, and a wide ranging, multi-dimensional conversation on the horrendous state of American society in 2025. Finally, they wrap up with a conversation on history and where our godforsaken civilization is headed in the coming years... also David fixates on that one time McDonalds sold Salad Shakers. outro music: 'Plantain Char' by Spinitch find and support more of their work here: https://spinitch.bandcamp.com/album/com-postables-jungle-scraps
