Dopey 541: Dopey 537: SUPER TWEAKER SPECIAL! Smoking Meth in Jason Schwartzman’s Trailer — The Super Spun Redemption of Will De Los Santos

This week on Dopey! Dave returns from vacation and rants about Instagram deleting and reinstating the Dopey page. He shouts out the Dopey Nation warriors who helped get it back, including Justin Cambria and the mysterious Sour Linus from Meta. Dave reads listener emails about Quaker Oat Squares and sketchy pink drugs in the UK, then plays a voicemail from Jake in Oregon who paid $400 for what turned out to be a jar of honey and turned it into a dorm room cookie hustle.Then, a massive deep-dive with Spun writer and speed enthusiast Will De Los Santos. Will shares his life story: being the child of a statutory rape, watching his stepfather survive a gunshot suicide attempt, freebasing coke with his half-brothers, and falling into crank addiction while making a UCLA film school reel. He explains how crank fueled his creativity and led to writing Spun, how he got high in Jason Schwartzman’s trailer, and how Bob Dylan lit his cigarette outside a Santa Monica boxing gym. He also opens up about relapsing after 8 years clean, the damage to his relationship with his ex Weiwei, and his long climb back through Oro, Betty Ford, and sober living—with support from Jay Mohr.Will’s new project Spaghetti is a recovery redemption story born during his relapse, and he’s now 8 months sober and ready for a new life.JOIN PATREON AND GET EXTRA!www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
