Dopey112: From Wild Tales to Sobering Realities
Perhaps I grew up in Utah, so maybe people there talk very animated.
Ever heard a story so wild you couldn't help but laugh, even though you knew you shouldn't? That's the kind of ride Dopey112 offers. Hosts Dave and Chris start off with a heartfelt tribute to Andrew, a member of the Dopey Nation who recently passed away. It's a somber reminder of the stakes involved in addiction, but the episode doesn't linger in sadness for long.
They read an email from Mandy, an ex-pharmacist who once stole drugs but is now living a clean and sober life. Her story adds a layer of hope and resilience to the mix. Then, things take a surreal turn as Chris recounts his unexpected encounter with actor Tim Robbins. And just when you think it can't get any crazier, Alana, an ex-model known online as @hotgirlfuckedbylife, calls in.
She shares jaw-dropping tales of being paid to have sushi eaten off her naked body and accidentally snorting a huge amount of ketamine, only to end up barefoot and passed out on the street. Despite the chaos, Alana's story is one of recovery and the importance of connection. The episode masterfully balances humor with raw honesty, reminding listeners that no matter how dark things get, there's always a way back to the light.
If you're looking for a podcast that can make you laugh, cry, and think all at once, Dopey112 is your ticket.
