The 32-year-old former regular shared an anecdote, revealing how his mom, Amy Waters Davidson, inspired him to stop using drugs and for good.

Davidson recalled the 'brutal' video call to his mom, during which he had an epiphany about his risky lifestyle.

'She went, "Enough." She f***ed me up. She was, like, "Peter, it’s very hard to be your mom because I wake up every morning with the fear that I’ll turn on the news and see that my son has died. 

'She told me all this on Zoom – from the house that I bought her on drugs. I was like, "Someone’s getting used to things." That got me sober,' he quipped.

He reiterated, 'I remember my mom popped on the screen, and she was like, "Peter, it’s really hard to be your mom. It’s not a fun job."'

He joked, 'I was still, like, newly sober, [thinking], "Well, you’re not f**king that special. What do you do?"'
