This week, Sara and Nikki investigate the dangerously awesome allure of Vicodin and share tales of stepping back from the painkilling brink. Though he's made a couple cameos in the past, this episode marks Cory Cavin's (@corycavin, the Talking Pee-approved webseries Model Wife) first official appearance on YHTBT.
