    I WOKE UP IN A MEXICAN PRISON - DUKE RUMELY OF SOBER AF ENTERTAINMENT

    If you got so drunk in Mexico that you blacked out and woke up in a Mexican prison would that be enough for you to sober up?

    A FATHERS LOVE - DAVID BLOOM

    David Bloom's journey in life may have seemed perfect on the outside, but inside he was a broken man. From childhood, his father never supported him, praised him or told him he loved him.

He is the co-founder of Stinkin Good Green Chili and has co-authored the book, 'The Solid Man Workbook'. Stinkin Good Green Chili The Solid Man Workbook
