The alcohol, says J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, came about in young adulthood, when it solved persistent social anxiety and made him the life of the party. As Kenji found tremendous success in food writing and restaurateuring, he found that he couldn't really make it through the day without downing between two and five drinks. This wasn't hard to pull off in the food business, surrounded by booze and a culture that heartily encouraged its consumption. Kenji found that, as is so often the case with mental health, that the reality of the condition didn't match the drunken messy stereotype: his work wasn't harmed, he had strong relationships and a family. It's just that he was an addict. Finally, just a few months ago and in his mid-40's, he decided to get sober.This episode marks the kick-off of the 2025 Max Fun Drive!

Wow! The first new Star Trek movie in eight years! What's that you say? Oh. TV movie? And it's less a "movie" and more a "we were going to develop a new series and that fell through so we made it a one-off, 90 minute thing?" Huh. Well, Star Trek: Section 31 may not be a "movie" in the same way we've used that word for most of its existence, but it was still a good excuse to hang out with our friends Adam and Ben from Max Fun's terrific Trek shows Greatest Gen and Greatest Trek, so every cosmic cloud has a silver lining, we guess.Wikipedia page for Star Trek: Section 31Recommended in this episode:Dan: Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938)Stu: Troop Beverly Hills (1989)Elliott: Chilly Scenes of Winter (1979)Adam: Babylon (2022)Ben: Down With Love (2003)Go to Squarespace.com for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch, go to www.squarespace.com/FLOP to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.
