What happens when a hockey legend confronts his darkest demons? In this gripping episode of Dopey, Stanley Cup champion and former NHL star Theo Fleury opens up about his intense battle with addiction, the trauma of surviving rape, and his path to recovery.

This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics, discussing the prevalence of pedophilia and the hurdles survivors face in their quest for healing.
The conversation is intense, but it’s also filled with hope and resilience. Adding to the mix, Erin Khar returns with her segment 'Ask Erin', providing thoughtful advice on addiction and recovery. And of course, Dave and Chris sprinkle in their signature dark humor, ensuring that even the heaviest moments are balanced with a touch of levity.
