Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction
Brandon Novak calls in and lives up to the hype. Perhaps one of the most dopey guests, Brandon tells many depraved stories at the intersection of sex and drugs. One such story includes the time he came home in a black out and accidently tried to sleep with his mom. Beyond his junky tales, Brandon shares about his amazing climb out of the hole... transmitting recovery openly and honestly from a place of total humility. A must listen. After Brandon, we play a voice memo from Christina about a rehab (detox) romance that ended poorly - with her shooting meth while in a sober living, a restraining order, and jail time.

Brandon Novak's Wild Ride: From Jackass Stunts to Sobriety Struggles
“In theory and on paper, I was a really successful individual, but in reality, after being a professional skateboarder...at, I, me myself, Brandon Novak, had created this picture that I now live in, because what I would do is I would let my mentality create the reality for which I lived in.”
Picture this: you're hearing tales of wild escapades, rehab romances gone awry, and the raw reality of heroin addiction, all wrapped in a darkly comedic bow. That's what you'll get in this episode of 'Dopey'. Dave and Chris bring on Brandon Novak, the former professional skateboarder and 'Jackass' star, who doesn't hold back. He shares some of his most outrageous stories, including a blackout episode that led him to accidentally try to sleep with his mom.
But it's not all laughs and shock value. Novak's journey through addiction and his climb out of the depths is both harrowing and hopeful. He talks candidly about his struggles with heroin, the pitfalls of detox, and the messy world of rehab relationships. One such story involves Christina, whose rehab romance spiraled into meth use, a restraining order, and jail time. Novak’s honesty shines through as he discusses how surrendering control was key to his recovery.
It's a rollercoaster of an episode that blends humor with heartfelt moments, making it clear that even in the darkest times, there's a glimmer of hope.
