Singer Rob Dukes joins Forrest to talk addiction, drinking, touring life, mental health, and the long tail of consequences that come from living loud for too long. They get into the chaos of the road, the culture around alcohol in music, getting older in a scene built on excess, and the moments when you realize something has to change. It’s raw, funny, and brutally honest — packed with real stories about touring, drinking, aging, identity, and learning how to keep the music without destroying yourself in the process. 🎧 If you’ve ever wondered where the line is between partying and losing control, this episode hits hard and still makes you laugh. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.
