Dax definitely pre-gamed this one.

Having recently listened to an episode of 'Armchair Expert' where Dax talked about this interview again, and was so sure you wouldn't know he'd been woken up by security after a huge coke bender... bless him, he is so clearly not sober. It must be difficult to look back on, especially since he had managed to get sober for the film he was there to promote and then backslid immediately after, and people probably wouldn't know how bad the situation was necessarily, but.... I'm genuinely glad he did manage to get clean and was able to redeem himself both on the show and with Conan personally.

"Chaco" was Dax's short, unattractive wingman in the romance novel.

His movie he wrote, Hit N Run, with Kristin is one of my faves. Paddle was good too.
