Paulie Think, a punk rock B-boy speaks very openly with Pepe about his struggles with addiction, the behaviors it's caused & his path towards a healthier place in life. Talk of confronting the demons of substance abuse disorder to finding a more spiritual meaning & supporting others along the way. Pepe shares what it has been like the various times he has tried to be a support to someone who is caught up in active addiction. Then they discuss what led Paulie to the B-boy & punk rock subcultures in the 80's & certain aspects of the folkpunk community more recently. We close out playing the track "Suicide" by Paulie Think.
