Todd Gets Busted - His First Episode - Dopey's Greatest Hits - Heroin, Weed, Coke, Recovery
from Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction · host Dave & Chris
Listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey's Greatest Hits (originally Dopey Episode 27: "Detox, Withdrawal"), where we rememberTodd (who died from a fentanyl overdose in 2018). We play Rocker-T's "One More" from the 1998 album Nicer By The Hour, read listener comments/emails (including a wild intervention story from "Alex" involving his mom overdosing during his own intervention). Then we play Dopey classic epidoe 27! Where me, Chris and graphic design Ryan are about to do an episode when out of the blue Todd calls in, freshly busted while trying to get 'weed'.We talk a bunch of shit about community service, arrests, weed, drugs and dumb shit. Then Ryan attempts to coachTodd toward AA/yoga/abstinence, and tells him 'not to die' in a tragicly terrifyingly sad moment. All that and more on this weeks replay of probably my favorite episode of that good old dopey show.Send in your thoughts to [email protected] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
