Andy discusses his recent fentanyl overdose (where he clinically died), his history of resisting recovery, and his current fragile sobriety. The conversation swings between hilarious (fat shaming, keto coffee, random tangents) and deeply uncomfortable (career regrets, addiction identity, Chris Farley, missed opportunities like Mr. Show and Old School). Andy admits he still isn’t sure if he wants to stay sober, but acknowledges things are “getting better.” Dave pushes him on willingness, recovery, and consequences, while Andy oscillates between honesty and deflection. The episode closes with Dave reflecting on Andy’s sobriety, promoting harm reduction resources, and sharing a raw listener-submitted banjo cover of a Dopey song.
