Show notes

JAMIE COMES ON ABOUT 30 Minutes in!

This week on Dopey! Jamie Lee Turner is BACK! And so is JEREMY TURNER! We read emails, play a crazy whale watching tripping voicemail, a kicking kratom email and then we get to the amazing and fabulous Jamie Lee Curtis!

Jamie brings the recovery! Her awakening, daily routine (3 daily readings + 3 gratitudes/fears/attribute texts to chains), defects (people-pleasing/fawning/fear/confrontation avoidance), agency from sobriety, ideas/production success (Scarpetta series with Nicole Kidman, Blumhouse deal, Mother Nature eco-horror). She praises Dopey as profound/Nobel-level work, critiques self-deprecation as humiliation (Hannah Gadsby quote), and shares Bear role insights (Donna’s sobriety arc). She was super great!

Jeremy Turner (Oregon by way of Louisiana) calls in: meth mites (not mental, from gorse plant?), recent DUI/car tow in Vegas, heavy drinking relapse after 8 sober months, current meth use (snorting/smoking, no shooting), new Long Island sponsor “on break,” job painting, girlfriend losing hope, fentanyl panic after intentional test puff, desire for abstinence but chasing tail cycle. Dave urges sleep, sponsor reconnection, Dopey Zoom check-ins.

ALL THAT AND MORE< MORE, MORE!!!! on this weeks BRAND NEW EPISODE of that GOOD OLD DOPEY SHOW!
