I had literally had animals living in my gums and, you know, under my skin, and I would sit digging at my gums and I would pull my teeth, rocking backwards and forwards, and I pulled all my teeth out, one by one, with like bits of stick, pliers, screwdrivers, anything I could put in my mouth.
Imagine spinning records for music legends like Madonna and Prince while battling a fierce addiction. That's the life of DJ Fat Tony, who shares his incredible journey on this episode of Dopey.
