On this Thursday Greatest Hits episode, we replayed Ryan Leone’s first appearance on Dopey — one of the wildest, most bombastic interviews we’ve ever done. Ryan was a ridiculously talented, handsome, funny writer who lived one of the most extreme addict lives imaginable: early Ritalin addiction, wilderness programs, stabbing a skinhead, running with cartels, moving kilos of Molly and heroin, multiple federal prisons, writing his cult-classic novel Wasting Talent while locked up, getting close with Johnny Depp, and battling brutal relapses after periods of success.
We also had a wild voicemail from Dade about a naked, coke-fueled brawl that ended with her putting her feet through multiple walls, plus listener comments and updates. Ryan passed away in 2022 from fentanyl, which makes this replay especially heavy and important. His story is pure Dopey — chaotic, violent, hilarious, tragic, and full of hard-earned wisdom.
Rest in Peace Ryan Leone! We Love You!
