    Notes for the Show:
    - zionist propaganda learned in hebrew school- dilaudid in nantucket at 8- suspicious naming of pharmaceutical opiates (di-LAUDED)- complex trauma- trying to cop at NA, then needle exchange, then doctors office- "they don't know i'm a functioning heroin addict" meme- elaborate cheating in school- stolen prescription pad- tramadol overdose + opiate withdrawal = grand mal seizure- homemade rig- boofing dilaudid- intervention actually leading to getting clean eventually

    Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.

Best Addiction & Recovery Podcast in the world

I began listening to Dopey while not sober and am still listening 6 sober years later. Dopey has taught me so many things, including how recovery can be a real thing for me AND fun. I’m living my best life thanks to this podcast. It’s a Godsend, irreverent, hilarious, tragic, informative and real. Thank you Dave & Chris (R.I.P.).

Good vibes. Place to find peace.

I’ve been listening to Dopey daily since 2016 or 2017. Such a good show. Often fall asleep listening to it. Always ready for a new release each week. Proud of Dave. He’s been able to keep the heart of Dopey rolling in the right direction throughout everything that has taken place. It’s certainly grown quite a bit from Dave & Chris & random guests like Novak, Nick Reiner, Tim’s killer voicemails & the East Side Crackhead. Those are some of my favorite classic episodes. I would go as far as saying that Dopey has hit Soprano’s or The Wire status where you can just kick on some of those classic episodes to get thrown into a happy nostalgic state….OR you can follow along with new each week & still get those same good vibes, wild stories & stuff we can all relate to from the fresh content. 10 stars Dave. Keep it rolling.

The Dirt and the Gold

I used to listen to podcasts like recovery elevator and Omar, but now this is the only recovery podcast I listen to bc the Dopey universe is so expansive. Even though the host Dave is sober for years, he still has a cool edge, and since he grew up listening to stern everyday, Dave has an incredible interviewing style that makes the guests feel so Welcome and therefore more willing to tell the grimiest parts of their addiction. Seriously, I gasp at some of the horrendous stories on this podcast, but it’s totally mixed with really wholesome stuff like when Dave and his cool liberal dad lovingly spar nearly every show.
