ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Dr. Randall Bock, a real doctor and a real good dude, joins Lou to talk about where all the male gynecologists have gone, saving a bar-fight stabbing victim (who then tried to kill him), and helping heroin-addicted moms-to-be get clean so their newborns wouldn't suffer through withdrawal.

We also get into a life-saving hack for when someone faints, Propecia, William S. Burroughs, love for Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx, his sons' projects (Sam Bock's The Sinopsis and Pravdcast and Eli Bock's FLUID), and how "William S. Burroughs minus the heroin" got Lou into Brown.
