  DFD #20 | The Evil Among Us w/ Alex Konicke

  Aug 11, 20261h 52mS1

  This week on Deep Funny Dirty, we're stepping into something heavier than usual. We sit down with Alex Konicke, author of The Evil Among Us, to talk about what happens after tragedy tears through a family. Alex opens up about watching his older brother Zach spiral through addiction and resistance to help, and about how easy it is to miss the moment when concerning becomes dangerous, even for a family paying close attention and doing everything they knew how to do. But this conversation isn't really about the tragedy itself, it's about what comes after. We dig into the questions every family faces long before a crisis hits. When do you set a boundary. When do you call for help. When does protecting someone you love start putting everyone else at risk. Alex shares the reflections that have come from walking through all of it, and how he's turned unimaginable pain into a mission to change how Washington State responds to mental health emergencies. Alex's story is heavy, honest, and unexpectedly hopeful, a reminder that healing rarely looks the way we think it will, and that community and connection can carry us through even the hardest chapters.

  Episode #17

  DFD #18 | The Realness Underneath w/ Megan Hoeffner

  Jul 14, 20261h 37mS1

  What happens when the healer needs healing? This week we sit down with Megan Hoeffner, founder of an international yoga and sound healing school, for a conversation that gets real fast. Megan opens up about riding the waves of postpartum depression, sleep deprivation, and brand new motherhood, all while running a global wellness brand that never stops asking for more. We dig into the pressure that healers and wellness professionals feel to show up polished and put together even when they are quietly unraveling inside, and what it actually takes to admit you are not okay. It's a raw, funny, and deeply human look at building a dream, keeping a tiny human alive, and learning to actually take a breath, maybe for the first time. If you have ever felt like you had to have it all together for everyone else, this episode is for you. Hit play. Then breathe.

  DFD #17 | Laughing to Survive w/ Barbie Applegate

  Jun 30, 20261h 15mS1

  In this episode of Deep Funny Dirty, we sit down with comedian Barbie Applegate, a woman whose name barely scratches the surface of who she actually is. Barbie's story moves through an unconventional childhood, unexpected loss, and a winding career path that brought her full circle back to the one thing that always kept her going: laughter. Along the way, she discovered that humor isn't just a coping mechanism, it's a healing tool backed by real science, and one she now brings to audiences as a working comedian in her 50s. Together we explore what it means to be misread by the world, how tragedy can quietly shape a person's greatest strengths, and why the people who make us laugh the hardest often carry the deepest stories. We also get into the role comedy plays in mental health, the courage it takes to stand in front of a room full of strangers, and what it looks like to finally stop running from your own life and start living it out loud.
