NO ADS ON PATREON - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary Dave opens Dopey Wednesday by getting mad at Reddit, reminiscing about Penn South, the old Walter Reade theater, flea markets, and losing his apartment to heroin addiction. Then Ian from Paris calls in with a disgusting kratom-vomit sex story. Dave reads Spotify and Patreon comments about Zach Noe Towers, Chet Holmgren, Sassafras, Euphoria, Katz’s, white claws, Amanda de Cadenet, and Dopey Nation recovery time. Then Dave interviews Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS and host of No Magic Pill. Blake talks about giving away 100 million shoes, Shark Tank, psychedelics, depression, getting misdiagnosed as bipolar, getting off pharmaceuticals, suicidal thoughts, San Pedro, “I am enough,” sobriety, quitting alcohol and nicotine, and using creativity, photography, therapy, and connection to rebuild his life. All that and more on a not too Dopey episode of Dopey! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
