Transcript
[START OF RECORDING]
JACK: Alright, so I need to start this episode by giving a clear warning; this episode is going to get deep into drugs and overall is adult-themed. You may want to wait until the little ones go to sleep before tuning into this one. You ever think about how many of us got through high school by just the skin of our teeth? We’re just so young, naive, fearless, and feel like we know it all. With an attitude like that, we’re bound to make some kind of grave mistake in our teenage years, and many of us do. We crash our parents’ car, try drugs, cigarettes, alcohol. We skip school, hang out with the wrong kids, steal, cheat, get pregnant, or expelled.
