I know this is a bit late, but I want to thank Sean and Lesley for this episode. It was the reason I realized I needed to get sober, and a few days ago I got my 30 day chip. I’ve been a fan for years, and I’m truly grateful for this one.
Meredith Danko
A little behind (trying to find time to watch the movies before listening), but still wanted to comment to say how much I appreciate the vulnerability and candor in this episode. A lot of valuable insights. Thank you.
David Wells
Great episode, as always. So excited for Bowfinger...Awesome sauce with glasses and braces!!
Sean
My last name being Gifford, and called 'Giff' for most of my youth, I am pretty freaked out by that arrest story. Like I'm a quantum superposition of the two of them, that could collapse at any moment 😳
Benjamin Simko
This is special, thank you both <3
Justin
Show has been so great since ep 1, but this was an all-timer
Alex
This is so valuable for those of us who struggle with the same. Thank you both and loving the series, Sean!
Jem Appru

Bridget Sunday

goddamn...as someone who's in recovery, this hits hard. make this a free one for others
Matt
Every one of these is better than the last! I dunno how he does it
Alison Farinacci
I am so grateful for Sean's candid recovery talk, always.
Jerkob
That is such a good idea.
Emily K
FWIW, one man's opinion: I think these eps can run long and don't need to be rushed, we're here for it! Lots to cover and all compelling.
Chloé C
This was amazing. I love the honesty and realistic perspective on addiction without sounding preachy. I know it’s a bit of a conflict within for Sean to be real and vulnerable but I think I speak for everyone when I say we really love it. And this podcast.
Desiree DiBerardino
This episode made me cry, thanks for sharing
Cale
This felt really special. Thank you for sharing.
Ryan
I love this show.
Joseph Sutton
If I could like this more I would. We aren't alone. Even though we tell ourselves how special and unique we are the gene in us is so predictable. It also lends to some of the most creative thoughtful people. So thanks for this episode.
Robert Peterson
So good - if this were unlocked I think this could be meaningful for a lot of people to listen to
Margaret
Love Leslie Arfin. I just requested that the Denver Library purchase her memoir so I can read it.

Am I only one hoping for the strike to go on forever? Candid Sean is great. I’ve been really enjoying this series.
