The Mechanic

THE BLURB: "Mechanic" may be his last name, but all Nick Mechanic knows about cars is that he likes driving really nice ones. Nick was an audacious, young turk Hollywood agent who made all kinds of movie and TV deals for actors, writers, directors and producers. He also made drug deals - and turned up on the radar of three different police departments. Nick fell from grace and ended up in prison and then rehab. Eventually Nick got disgusted enough with himself to change things - and to not merely attempt to recover but to succeed at it. That's what THE MECHANIC is about - outrageous, true behind-the-scenes tales of Hollywood excess and deal-making, wretched excess, drug-dealing and addiction, and a rousing, uplifting story of personal rebirth.

    S1E26 Going Stag
    Sep 23 2026

    IN THIS EPISODE My regular Wednesday meeting is a stag meeting. It's just the guys - because sometimes, guys just want to say things to other guys that guys would understand. That's where I met my friend Anthony - who's been sober for about a year. That's why I wanted Anthony on the podcast - to talk about the experiences of the newly sober - and how one deals with those challenges.

    S1E25 A Good Man Isn't Hard To Find
    Sep 16 2026

    IN THIS EPISODE My friend Dan Pearson has an interesting job. He handles customer complaints for a large insurance company. When I say it’s not an easy job, I’m understating it by a lot. He’s an avid long distance runner. I wanted to have Dan on the podcast because he’s such a warm, compassionate and loving human being. I think you’ll get that immediately.

Stephen, as you’ll hear, has been sober for 14 years. He’s been happily married for ten years. He’s both a father and a grandfather. He’s also my sponsor.
