Hi, I'm Jeff. I've been listening to your podcast for a while. I'm calling because I have

0:09.8

a podcast. It's called Cheer Up, a dark look at happiness through the lens of depression.

0:18.8

It's made by depressed people for depressed people. And I connect to your podcast because

0:26.8

it's so depressing. Sometimes when I listen to your podcast, I feel less depressed, but not

0:35.0

usually. I'm calling because it looks like a lot of your fans are advertising their podcasts

0:43.8

on your podcast. And I thought I could piggyback in the same way. It's just that I'm so tired

0:53.6

and depressed. I don't want to advertise on my own. It's too depressing. So listen to my

1:02.7

podcast cheer up, but spoiler alert, it's kind of depressing. Hashtag. Stay strong, dopey nation.

This episode of dopey is brought to you by Aloe Recovery. Located in sunny Southern California,

our friends Bob Forest and Evan Haynes and other Bob started Aloe to give addicts a place to go

horseback riding, sound bath, meditation. None of that compares to the importance of being treated

1:58.7

with respect. If you're in California and you're fucked and you need a place to go, go to

2:03.4

Aloe. When I went to treatment, I wish I had gone to a place like Aloe. But what are you going to do?

2:08.1

You can have a better experience than I ever did. So go to Aloe Recovery. This episode is also

2:14.4

brought to you by our friends at JustCoffee.coop. I have to tell you this morning, I finally did my Just Coffee

2:22.0

Coop Fantasy and I fucking ground up some revolution roast, the super extra dark. I put it in my French press.

2:31.1

I brewed some Just Coffee Coffee and I'm like flying. The Just Coffee Coffee is coffee worth buying.

2:37.9

How that rhymes? I could be a little tuned. I'm flying and the Just Coffee Coffee is totally worth buying.

2:43.6

I like that. They should pay me to write a jingle. Anyway, if you're a fan of the show and you like
