The supreme irony is that we're making this thing that's seaworthy and helping people and it's based off of the mess that we used to make.
Ever wondered what happens when you mix addiction, prison stories, and a hefty dose of dark humor? In this episode of 'Dopey', Dave and Chris are back with some of their most outrageous tales yet. Picture this: an email from Australia describes a psychotic episode triggered by too much MDMA, leading to some truly bizarre interactions with the police and a desperate attempt to avoid jumping off a balcony.
Meanwhile, Dave recounts a seizure that sent him tumbling off a lofted bed onto a bong, and Chris shares his confusion between gender fluidity and sexual fluidity in a hilariously awkward conversation with a female classmate. But the episode doesn't stop there. Daniel Herron from the 'Released in Captivity' podcast joins in to share his experiences from a decade behind bars, including a tense standoff with an inmate named 'Psycho' and the brutal 'no hands policy' in certain prisons.
Through all the chaos and comedy, Dave and Chris explore the serious side of addiction recovery, emphasizing the importance of humor, friendship, and support. They remind us that even in the darkest moments, there's always a chance to find hope and help others along the way. So if you're ready for a wild ride through the highs and lows of addiction, prison life, and recovery, this episode of 'Dopey' is one you won't want to miss.
