After unfiltered observation Nick LehnerThe bumpy journey to sobriety over the years, addiction podcast host Dave Manheim Revealing his public decline – and their surprising row Rob Reiner.
‘Dopey’ podcast host speaks out After recording many episodes Working with Nick since 2016.
“He’s young, smart, handsome and just out of rehab, and I’m excited to have him on our show because I’m a fan of Rob Reiner,” Manheim told hollywood reporter Tuesday, December 16th. “I can relate to his story.”
While they initially connected over their struggles with drug addiction, Manheim recalled Nick, 32, admitting to his relapse, adding, “I don’t remember him being particularly interested in 12-step practices.”
On December 14, Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their home. TMZ reported at the time that the Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to the scene in the afternoon to provide “medical assistance.” It was later reported that a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman were killed (…)
Manheim acknowledged that Nick is still young and should focus on recovery. “I know he’s had treatment,” he noted. “I knew he was involved in writing. I knew he loved playing basketball in New York City. I thought he was interested in spirituality.”
He continued: “Honestly, he showed a youthful love and hope for life. He wanted to be a part of what Chris and I were doing (the podcast). He wanted to have fun in recovery, and he wanted to be a successful entertainment writer.”

According to Manheim, he initially declined Nick’s offer to call his father while recording the podcast. After his partner O’Connor died in 2018, Manheim changed his mind and Nick cut ties.
“I wish I hadn’t asked him to have Rob Reiner on the show, or at least not when I did, because it pushed him away,” Manheim admitted, before revealing that he sent Nick about 150 text messages over the next seven years without getting a reply.
Mannheim continue to speculate Regarding Nick’s personal struggles, he added, “That’s probably not a fair statement, but I will say this: If he was seeking serious recovery, I think over time he would be more inclined to contribute to the show because that’s what people in recovery want to do. They want to preserve friendships and convey messages and all those things.”
