Andy Dick reveals shocking brain damage after being clinically dead from overdose

The conversation began with Mandel talking about how he saw Dick a few weeks before the overdose. He remembered being "upset" with Dick, and said he was "being really serious" with him about the state he was in. 

"You looked like you were going to die that day," Mandel told him, "and then you ended up dying a few weeks later on camera."

"I did, you're right," Dick agreed.

"Yeah," Dick answered. "Purple, not breathing."

The "NewsRadio" actor previously said that he overdosed after taking crack cocaine from a stranger on the street, but he now says he's not entirely sure what he smoked that day. He did say that the stranger is the person who administered Narcan, a nasal spray that can reverse overdoses.

Now, Dick is clean, and he's staying in a sober-living house where he undergoes regular drug testing.

Mandel spoke about being sober himself, and said that what helps him maintain his sobriety is the urge to "protect" his family and his career. He told Dick, who has three children and two grandchildren, that "It seems like you are less cognizant of protecting that."

Dick didn't argue, and when Mandel pressed him on why, he said, "Boredom. I get bored easily."

The conversation ended with Mandel saying, "I wanted you to come here to say, you don't have a lot of chances left, buddy. You don't. And you had a lot of chances, and a lot of people root for you, and they're worried about you, and you gotta …"

"Pull it together," Dick finished.

In 1999, he was arrested after crashing his car into a utility pole in Los Angeles. He was hit with multiple charges, including driving under the influence and possession of cocaine, but the charges were ultimately dismissed when he completed a drug treatment program.
