Summary

This week on the Tuesday Patreon teaser: Aurora’s back! Fresh off the island (literally — Fiji), we catch up on her work producing Love Island, Nora’s hilarious obsession with the show, and whether or not the crew is secretly hooking up behind the scenes. We also talk about DopeyCon (aka DopeyCon 6, but maybe just DopeyCon from now on), the Meta takedown backlash, missing voicemails, and what this whole Dopey thing even means. The full episode on Patreon gets deeper — breakup trauma, sponsor resentment, North Carolina AA weirdness, and yes, cake rejection shame. But for now, enjoy this sweet little Tuesday teaser and sign up to hear the rest.
