Dopey 345: Dopey Down Under with Colin Hay, Jessica Kent, Alcohol, Heroin, Recovery

This week on Dopey! We are super excited to have three stellar guests on the show! First and foremost we have the award winning and smash hit singer/songwriter, Colin Hay! Colin is best known for his work as the front man and singer/songwriter behind the 1980's Australian phenomenon Men at Work. Colin candidly shares his story of fame, fortune and excess and tells us what he had to do in order to get sober. He also tells the crazy fallout from the smash hit 'Down Under'. Then Dave's Dad, Alan returns to the show to update the Dopey Nation and criticize Dave a bit. And finally we kick off our newest segment 'Behind the Dope with YouTube superstar Jessica Kent who drops a dopey tale of withdrawal and getting well on a GreyHound bus. All that and a tiny bit more on this week's edition of Dopey! More About Dopey: Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
