The Dudes meet up with one of Tyson's former employees, Claire Gillman. Claire maybe doesn't fit the typical addict stereotype that one might think of. From being a homeschooled, workaholic at a young age, to barely even drinking before her 21st birthday. But once she was able to experience the sweet taste of her drug of choice, she was hooked. From using to selling, Claire covered the gambit of the addiction cycle. But once she had enough, she knew it was time to put in the work to get clean. Now over 18 months sober, she shares her story out loud so that others can learn from her mistakes. She also shares some... interesting former funeral plans she had.

Tony is educated on the local drug economy and Tyson learns that his own addiction probably masked the fact he couldn't see Claire going through her own addiction.

The Dudes and Lloyd are back at the crib with the very talented music artist Bailey Cole. Even though she moved to Nashville, don't you dare bottle her singing and songwriting as country, because it's so much more than that.

Bailey chats about her background out of Mankato to taking a giant leap to pursue her dream of making her own music. She talks about the move to Nashville to do makeup and how she got her start into pursuing music. Bailey shares what it was like to make her debut album, Chapter One, which releases on February 20th, and talks about where she finds the vision for her music. As a child of addiction riddled parents, Cole shares how each one provided different versions of inspiration, one with pride of 20+ years of sobriety, and the other with pain, having come face to face with their using.

Guest Bailey also shares her new single that just released which is her rendition of Gnarls Barkley's Crazy and lets all the listeners know about her upcoming album release party in Nashville on February 19th, Sponsored by Gigli.

The Dudes get way too sidetracked fanboying and talking about the music industry and what music means to them.
