The thing is not how you are on your best days, how can you step up on your worst day when everything is going terrible, when you're tired, when you're frustrated, when you're edgy, how do you treat other people?

Fuck pain, fuck heartbreak, I'm still in love with life.

From the multicultural headquarters of the future capital of the pre-thinking state to American known as Los Angeles, this is The Drunken Douse Podcast.

On this episode, it's interview time again, as Danieli's mom Gloria Mationi joins us to tell us all about her new book, California Sister,

which tells a fictionalized version of her own heartbreaking experience for the sister who would become completely unable to communicate living her to face impossible decisions,

along with a great discussion of the writer's battle with the muse to find the right way to tell the story.

It's good stuff, so here we go.

And now, asking you all to spread the words that corporations are not persons, I'm Rich Evers.

And my partner in crime, the savage philosopher and middle figure of the gods, Danieli Bollelli.

As we invite you to lower the lights, batten down the hatches, and prepare to open your mind.

For The Drunken Douse Podcast, begins now.

Welcome back everybody to another fine episode of The Drunken Douse Podcast Episode 243.

It's unbelievable, but today a very special guest who outlaw Danieli Bollelli to introduce right now.

Yes indeed, my own sweet mother today is our guest.
