Comedian Al Jackson returns to join Forrest for a very off-the-rails episode about addiction, money, losing your wallet on tour, and trying to grow up without losing your sense of humor. They get into traveling broke, staying in sketchy motels, gambling away paychecks, and what it means when your past lies and bad decisions still follow you around years later. It's raw, funny, and packed with real stories about losing everything in casinos, pawning family heirlooms, cashless culture, race and police, parenting, and how sobriety changes the way you tell the truth, handle money, and show up for your kids. 🎧 If you've ever blown up your life with money, lies, or bad decisions—and are still trying to be a better human—this episode will make you cringe, laugh, and feel less alone. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.
