Cocaine Part 3: Cheth Meets the Fiends

Let's just start by saying, you’re welcome. We’ve heard your clamoring, and never expected things would move this fast but… we got the Big Dog in the house and he's off the leash (BARK!)

Thats right folks its Kai, Max and the one and only Cheth in studio, talking about some of the 1st fiends ever reported, including the good Dr. Charles Bradley (no relation), who in the 1880s began a long lineage of men charged with familial neglect in the court of public opinion due to, well, Cocaine.

Cheth enlightens us as to the origins of his maternal family's great fortune, offers some harrowing details about his *former captain's imprisonment in French Polynesia, and give us an exclusive on an exciting partnership with 2028 Presidential Candidate Gary !

Then we explore a journalistic expose on the Boston Drug Store in Chicago, where women were free to buy Schneef “over the counter” at all hours of the night, engaging in such depraved behavior as singing songs, appearing joyful, and getting a moment's reprieve from whatever nonsense they were dealing with back then.

FYI DON'T bring up Maven, the boys are fighting.
