In honor of Ryan Leone’s birthday, Dopey returns to one of his most unforgettable appearances—a brutally honest account of creativity, addiction, ambition, relapse, and the struggle to stay alive. Ryan explains how receiving a free gram of cocaine before visiting Tommy Lee’s house triggered the worst relapse of his life. Cocaine became crack, depression led him toward self-administered ketamine treatments, and a cycle of steroids, psychedelics, heroin, and fentanyl nearly destroyed his family and career. In the episode’s most unbelievable story, Ryan accidentally injects approximately 60 hits of liquid LSD after confusing it with ketamine. He drives through California while hallucinating that his fiancée and children are in the car, encounters a dead body in the road, and eventually wakes up in a teepee-shaped motel room before being hospitalized. Ryan also describes his progression from heroin to fentanyl, multiple overdoses, fighting naked inside a detox, starting methadone, and finally understanding what powerlessness means. Dave and Ryan discuss the dangerous mythology of the drug-addicted artist, Ryan’s identification with Hunter S. Thompson, the toll his public persona took on his family, and whether he could remain creative without heroin. A classic Dopey conversation with the late writer, filmmaker, father, and unforgettable friend of the show, Ryan Leone. RIP PALABRA & MORE   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
