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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T18:17:38.778026+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100"},"episode":{"title":"Atrocious weed, cocaine psychosis, shooting puddle water, smuggling heroin into Jamaica, Jerry Garcia, recovery, and remembering Chris - Total Replay 37","slug":"atrocious-weed-cocaine-psychosis-shooting-puddle-water-smuggling-heroin-into-jamaica-jerry-garcia-recovery-and-remembering-chris-total-replay-37","published_at":"2026-07-20T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/atrocious-weed-cocaine-psychosis-shooting-puddle-water-smuggling-heroin-into-jamaica-jerry-garcia-recovery-and-remembering-chris-total-replay-37","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100","url":"https://www.dopeypodcast.com","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/injector.simplecastaudio.com/2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897/episodes/00b4b7c9-31da-4ffa-82e3-4268df9c8ca4/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=00b4b7c9-31da-4ffa-82e3-4268df9c8ca4&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"TIMESTAMPS 00:17 — Dopey returns from summer hiatus 01:05 — Dave’s Pacific Northwest family vacation 02:02 — Patreon Recovery Zoom and emergency DopeyCon meeting 02:34 — SVA Theatre versus the Church of the Holy Apostles 04:55 — Remembering Chris during the anniversary of his death 06:14 — Dopey, recovery, gratitude and asking for help 07:20 — Spotify and Patreon comments 09:41 — Introducing Dopey Episode 37 11:07 — Classic Dave and Chris: sobriety and sponsorship 12:07 — Working the Sixth Step and Drop the Rock 15:40 — Sponsoring addicts and recovery wisdom 16:48 — Honesty, open-mindedness and willingness 18:04 — Planning episodes around Dave’s vacation 20:33 — Jerry Garcia’s addiction and “Persian” heroin 22:56 — Jerry Garcia allegedly uses radio to find drugs 25:24 — John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Beatles 27:52 — John Lennon’s reported psychedelic drug use 30:15 — Paul McCartney, Owsley acid and Monterey Pop 31:01 — Anthony Kiedis, Scar Tissue and acupuncture 33:19 — The Mad Acid Fest and the bassist who became Zeus 35:01 — Stealing vodka, pills and fried chicken at a company party 37:21 — Trading Places, angel dust and Dan Aykroyd 39:44 — CDs, skip protection and burning music 41:58 — Slank Funk discovers Dopey 44:22 — Early Dopey download numbers and the desperate hunt for reviews 46:35 — Growing Dopey Nation and helping Cormac make a song 49:42 — Chris begins his Anguilla cocaine story 51:00 — Relapsing after a year and buying drugs in the Caribbean 53:27 — Mixing a glass full of cocaine water 54:21 — Cocaine psychosis and benevolent imaginary Rastas 55:51 — Chasing a hallucinated car around an abandoned house 57:05 — Stranded in Saint Martin and owing drug dealers money 58:08 — Chris’s brother flies down to rescue him 59:23 — Shooting cocaine with muddy puddle wa…","meta_description":"TIMESTAMPS 00:17 — Dopey returns from summer hiatus 01:05 — Dave’s Pacific Northwest family vacation 02:02 — Patreon Recovery Zoom and emergency DopeyCon…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4666,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/episodes/atrocious-weed-cocaine-psychosis-shooting-puddle-water-smuggling-heroin-into-jamaica-jerry-garcia-recovery-and-remembering-chris-total-replay-37/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/atrocious-weed-cocaine-psychosis-shooting-puddle-water-smuggling-heroin-into-jamaica-jerry-garcia-recovery-and-remembering-chris-total-replay-37.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
