Today’s guest on the show is Diego.

The other day I was walking to Washington Square Park looking to meet some content creators but they weren’t there. There was schedule mix up because Instagram’s algorithm gave me an old post and I thought the meet up was that day, I was wrong. 

 On my walk back home I ended on Houston Street. As I was walking, I walked past Diego is sitting on the corner. He had a sign that read he was homeless as well as a change cup by his feet.

As I turned the corner a little voice popped into my head and told me to invite Diego on the podcast. After a bit of persuasion, he was down for the recording and even offered me a piece of cardboard to sit on. 

I sat down. 

In this episode Diego and I talk about evil books, opioids, crack, heroin, coffee, and the misconceptions of being homeless. 

About halfway through the conversation he started smoking Spice or K2 or Synthetic Weed.
