203: How We Talk About Addiction & Hunter Biden, You Don’t Have To Forgive, Bravo News and Reality TV Self Care!

October 21, 2020

Drink of the day: Ice water for Colin, tea for Candice! 
Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are back in the studio (Skype call) and we’re talking about the language we use surrounding addiction and people living with addiction through the lens of what’s going on with Hunter Biden right now. 
Criminy River is rich with eyerolls and Strug Boat is full of that Bravo news that’ll make you feel better about life!
