Summary
When reading up about pro wrestlers and their lifestyle choices, you might come across the phrase "personal demons." It's a euphemism for drug and alcohol problems, which sadly are a common occurrence when you look at wrestling and its history of premature deaths. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Cola the Lodger exorcise some personal demons by playing songs about drugs and alcohol, whether they're positive, neutral, or negative about the substances. Artists played include Primus, Hank Williams III, The Pharcyde, KRS-One, George Michael, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Kyuss, Melle Mel, and many more. This episode is definitely not passing a drug test.
