Originally aired on Rev Left Radio - May 2021
Dr. Judith Grisel, former addict and current behavioral neuroscientist, joins Breht to discuss her life experiences and her fascinating book "Never Enough: The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction".

We discuss how addiction works at the level of the brain and how it feels at the level of experience. We also discuss multiple substances specifically, including marijuana, alcohol, caffeine, MDMA, and more. At the end, we talk about policy approaches to addiction, how America gets it wrong, how we should approach it societally, and then Judy offers some tips for how to prevent addiction and some hope for those who are struggling with it.

In this third edition of our All Too Human interview series, Breht and Dave welcome Niko into the Shoeless Shed to have an honest conversation about his struggles with alcoholism. 

With these All Too Human interviews, we aim to highlight and destigmatize the mental health and addiction struggles of regular working class people in hopes that we can provide insight into this type of human suffering, help others who struggle with similar things feel less alone, and deepen our understanding of the modern human condition.

The boys have a lot of fun discussing their fant-ta-ta-sies, jobs that make them want to delete themselves, apprehending romantic relationships through the analytical lens of dialectics, and wrestling with the age-old question of "Are Cigarettes Cool?"... until, unfortunately, the boys get into a huge fight on air and it ends in tragedy.

Dave vibrates violently and gets rushed to the hospital, Breht drinks Jack Daniels and gets a brutal hangover (which might actually be worse than what Dave went through tbh), and then they talk about alcoholism, depression, meditation, and death (all the Shoeless classics). Also Shoenice makes an appearance?
