Back with the fullness of the Don't Die experience. Bob Chuk & Elijah discuss online AA, Catholic priests in rehab, the election, Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers (obviously) and Victoria Williams, godmother of the California High Desert

Don't Die is back from an impromptu Fall break. The guys popped in for a quick episode to catch up our Don't Diehards; Bob's moved back to Hollywood, Elvis turned 14 and, in between, a tragedy struck in his circle of schoolfriends. Fair warning, topics include teen suicide, the One Direction guy, clinical and parental approaches to grieving adolescents, and social media complicating every minute of every day.

And we're back! Don't Die eulogizes the great Diane Baker of CRI-Help, Paul Hester from Crowded House and laments not being helicopter rich to beat SoCal traffic, Bob makes an on the fly advert for Nicorette gum and the guys are gearing up for Ohana Fest this weekend. Come see us record a live episode, our celebration of the life and music of our dear departed producer Mike Martt on the Storyteller stage, Sunday 5:45 PM at Ohana Fest in Dana Point!

See you down there, have fun, don't die!

The Don't Die crew goes in on the election cycle, marijuana "maintenance," the multicultural American future, Elijah's got 3 years sober and mystery vomit

Bob's house is terribly close to the fearsome Bridge fire, one of several ongoing wildfires in Southern California this week, and Bob is laughing and singing with his waterhose up on the roof putting out the floating "ambers," this Don't Die is a barrel of laughs and heavy on love of music, live music and all the fun stuff there is to do with your free time

Bob, Chuk & Elijah get right down into it, discussing Mike Martt and Tex & The Horseheads wrecking young Club Promoter Bob's career, Wingstop is gross, the cost of living is insane, Andy Dick is still wilding out and Keith Morris is a Blippyhead, along with more serious topics

Don't Die goes into NIDA, AA, Alateen and the little nudge that really gets addicts to turn toward the light, plus Bob talks James Chance, Steve Clark of Def Leppard, Methadone Vs Suboxone and the unforgettable wisdom of counselor Gloria Scott

Plus Ohana Fest is right around the corner and Don't Die will be there live Sunday September 29 with a special surprise for everybody

Mark your calendars and Don't Die everybody
