Poison Boy returns HARD with an all new hip and an all new birthday podcast! Fresh off a total hip replacement, Gerry O (a.k.a. Poison Boy) recounts his adventures in orthopedics as well as what many consider to be the origin story of Poison Boy – the defining moment that launched the epic journey. Then, loyal Safety Ranger Steve Walsh joins the conversation to educate and discuss the importance of avoiding cyanide and the even bigger importance of having an airtight prenuptial agreement. The Venomous Media Review focuses on the 1995 classic LEAVING LAS VEGAS and we wrap up the podcast with a discussion of other important events that occurred on December 1st (besides the birth of Poison Boy).

In an effort to protect children from accidentally ingesting prescription drugs and other medications, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed the Up & Away initiative. The goal of the initiative is to spread the message to put medication up, away and out of sight of children. Approximately 60,000 young children are brought to the emergency room each year because they took medications that were left within reach.
