It's real life, with no filter, and it's beautiful, and it's also really intense and painful sometimes.
What happens when a podcast that started as a mix of wild stories and recovery tales turns into a heartfelt tribute? In this special 200th episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Linda bring together a star-studded lineup to celebrate 'Chrismiss' and honor what would've been co-host Chris's 35th birthday. Expect a rollercoaster of emotions as Dr. Drew, Marc Maron, Brandon Novak, Bob Forrest, Amy Dresner, and Jamie Lee Curtis join the festivities.
