Mike's grandfather isn't doing well, Sean has to get a colonoscopy, Scott needs to go to weed rehab, another one of the studio lights goes out, and the camera dies less than half way through the episode. Hilarity ensues!

The weed is smokin me too. I’m just glad it’s my only real vice

I’m sure you aren’t in favor of this suggestion but the *only* thing that got me off fentanyl was methadone. Years later I’m still on it and thriving, working 60 hours a week for the post office years. I knew that white-knuckling it via rehab would kill me via relapse. It is SO deadly out there. I followed the same path as your brother. Oxys flooded Philly. We all started doing them. Pills dried up. Some of us stopped doing them. Others like me switched to dope. Then the dope switched to fentanyl (just before we bailed from Afghanistan…) Anyway if you ever wanna talk about your brother, DM me on twitter.

This was a very lovely episode, guys. I hope your brother gets better, Sean. I was addicted to painkillers. I never transitioned to heroin but, I think about how lucky I am that I did not. There’s hope. ❤️

I know it doesn’t mean shit Sean, but I prayed for your brother. Keep your head up man.

Sean, wish I could offer more, but can’t imagine what you’re going through, and I really hope things get better with your brother. Mike, please write a bit about Ben getting carried away by balloons. Scott, keep doing what you’re doing. Love the show.

Sean, very sorry to hear about your brother, you guys are doing everything you can for him. About your stomach: it's possible there's something wrong with your gut bacteria, especially if either (1) you've recently taken a course of antibiotics or (2) you've recently had an infection of some kind (food poisoning, another illness, etc). It's a really good idea, if you can, to do any three of the following: 1) eat probiotic foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, etc 2) take a probiotic supplement 3) eat more vegetables This is NOT medical advice and you should talk to your doctor, but eating more probiotics and prebiotics is very low risk while you wait for the buttscope.

I second everything here. God willing you don't have cancer Sean and can make the adjustments physically and mentally to battle your stomach issues so they don't need constant treatment and snowball into bigger issues.

Sean joined the podcast recently. just listened to this ep. Made me think of past christmas dinners with my brother super high on coke, standing up next to the family table, mumbling about how the 'jews' did 9/11. Its okay Sean we cant pick our family, but i just want you to know, youre a great brother.

Fentanyl is hard to kick. 13 years is a long time on. Get sober, and it’s like you aged from healthy 17 to muscle-wasted 30 overnight — on top of the psychological changes. 30 is still on the right side of too late, though. If Sean’s brother has rebah’d and gone back to opiates — and he’s not at rock bottom plus catalyst (death of someone close, car accident casualty, etc) — getting ‘clean’ won’t appeal. But there are ways to try persuading a fentanyl user to try getting off , and there’s key medications that aren’t used by most rehabs, and others that probably weren’t used by Sean’s brother for the post-rehab PAWS (which is what drives 90% of opiate addicts to relapse). PAWS lasts up to 1 month for every year of the opiate addiction.

You’re lucky you’ve adapted to methadone so well. Most (like my cousin) find methadone corrosive — especially psychologically — and I think medical consensus favors subutex for taking users to 100% clean.
