Punk Rock, Addiction, and Recovery: Mike Martt's Journey on Dopey

Ever wondered what it's like to be a punk rock guitarist battling addiction? This episode of Dopey brings you an unfiltered conversation with Mike Martt, the guitarist from Thelonious Monster and Tex and the Horseheads. Mike takes listeners back to the gritty punk scene of Southern California in the 1980s, sharing both the chaotic highs and devastating lows of touring as a drug addict.
His story doesn't end there; Mike opens up about how a community of sober musicians in LA played a crucial role in his path to recovery. Alongside Mike, Dave's old friend Aurora returns to discuss her own struggles with trauma, the 'five-year itch', and some wild stories involving LSD and THC-laced cookies. With a mix of humor and raw honesty, this episode explores the powerful role of music and friendship in overcoming addiction.
Tune in for a rollercoaster of emotions, laughter, and some serious food for thought.
