Full Episode
You pepper sprayed a member of the Mexican mafia and stole his heroin.
I sprayed him in the face with pepper spray and put something to his throat. Don't move.
Making me tense, man. Just telling me this story.
And he had girls in his halfway houses that he was giving heroin, giving crack and pimping them out and then sending them back to treatment. where they would ultimately fail their drug test and have to go to detox. And guess who gets a kickback from the detox center? No way. It's a revolving door of suffering and just pain for the addict. But they're making money at every stop. This is disgusting.
And then she pulls out a handgun. And she's like, what the are you doing in my house? My kids are in there. And I'm like, oh my God, you have kids? If you have your kids sleeping in there, you're kind of a shitty mom. So you insult the lady with the gun pointed at you.
Yes, because, because. You got balls, I'll say that. Thanks for doing this, Chris. How long were you addicted to opioids?
So I was addicted to opioids from the age of 15 to 23, kind of on and off, you know, in and out of rehab for those eight years. But yeah.
15 to 23. How did you grow up?
So I grew up in, I was born in Dallas, grew up in South Orange County, moved there when I was five, kind of bounced around, but all in kind of relatively the same area. Southern California. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Southern California, Orange County. And my sister or my family, you know, addiction kind of just runs in my family.
