Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

Dave & Chris
Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

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.

No heartfelt resolutions here—just raw reflections on why 2024 sucked, what 2025 might bring, and how sugar is basically his drug of choice now. Oh, and there’s a surprise guest: fitness trainer Doug Bopst, called mid-recording to unpack why Dave’s obsessed with Chick-fil-A and why New Year’s resolutions are mostly BS. But first, the real deal: Hamilton Morris, the chemist and documentarian behind Hamilton’s Pharmacopoeia, drops in to talk about everything from the chemistry of salvia to the ethics of harm reduction. It’s science, chaos, and comedy rolled into one unforgettable episode. Highlights: Hamilton Morris Takes Us to School 🧠💊: The Psychedelic Frontier: Hamilton explains why psychedelics aren’t just “drugs” but tools for exploring consciousness. How can they fit into harm reduction? And what about people in recovery? Salvia, DMT, and the Bizarre: Why salvia is the “weirdest drug ever” and why it deserves more respect (or fear). Hamilton shares his thoughts on liquid LSD in the eyes and why he’s never smoked crack. The Clack Incident: Dave revisits the time he smoked “clack” (crack, but in Chinatown) with a methadone dealer named Danny. “It wasn’t great, but Danny was really into it.” New Year, Same Chaos 🎆: Dave Calls Doug Bopst: Dave surprises Doug mid-recording to grill him about sugar addiction, fitness tips, and why Chick-fil-A is apparently Christian food. Doug suggests cutting out processed foods and prioritizing protein—Dave suggests doubling down on frosted mini-wheats with chocolate syrup. Sugar, Dopamine, and Decompression: Why Dave binges chocolate at night while watching Knicks games. Doug’s take on dopamine, cravings, and why recovery is all about consistency. The Dopey Fitness Challenge: Dave vows to run a Couch-to-5K… maybe. Doug advises him to take it one step at a time. “It’s not about losing 30 pounds in two weeks, Dave.” Listener Love 🎶: Jake’s Banjo Cover: West Virginia listener Jake delivers a raw, soulful banjo rendition of Dave’s song with an original third verse about surviving hard times. It’s shaky, heartfelt, and the perfect way to end the episode. Featured Guests: Hamilton MorrisGenius chemist, filmmaker, and explorer of the psychedelic unknown.
