65: Disco Biscuits

History of Quaaludes and the "Disco Biscuit" Era

The segment explores the history of Quaaludes, known as "disco biscuits," which were widely used in the 1970s at clubs like Studio 54. Originally developed as a sleeping pill, the drug became a staple of the sexual revolution. The hosts note that while Cosby was prescribed the drug for back pain, the media used its association with the era's "good old boys' club" to frame his actions as uniquely heinous compared to his peers.
