How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this lively episode of 'Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction,' Dave takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions with family drama, candid confessions, and some rather unconventional opinions. Joined by his dad Alan and friend Ray, the conversation dives into the murky waters of truth versus exaggeration, all while keeping a light-hearted tone.
From a British fan's amusing letter about Katz's deli to hot takes on popular culture, Dave doesn't shy away from controversy. He tackles the serious topic of addiction with humour and raw honesty, as the trio discusses whether comedy can sometimes go too far. This episode is a cocktail of emotions, blending humour with heartache, and laughter with loss. Whether it's Dave's father questioning his son's integrity or the playful banter between friends, there's never a dull moment.
If you're curious about how people cope with addiction and find humour in their struggles, this episode is not to be missed. So, what drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? And how do they manage to find laughter in the face of adversity? Tune in to find out.
