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":"Chris at the Anguilla Brothel, Huffing Disaster, Mark's Prank Phone Call, Howard Stern Show Story - Dopey Total Replay 36","slug":"chris-at-the-anguilla-brothel-huffing-disaster-mark-s-prank-phone-call-howard-stern-show-story-dopey-total-replay-36","published_at":"2026-07-13T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/chris-at-the-anguilla-brothel-huffing-disaster-mark-s-prank-phone-call-howard-stern-show-story-dopey-total-replay-36","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/f17ba38d-8386-46b3-b966-6961366bb844/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=f17ba38d-8386-46b3-b966-6961366bb844&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamps 00:00 – Dave records Dopey before dawn while the family is on vacation 02:40 – Reflections on replaying episodes with Chris from 10 years ago 03:15 – Patreon Zooms, supporting Dopey, and gratitude for the Dopey Nation 05:00 – Email from Taylor inspired by Early Brunner and Recovery Demystified 06:20 – Taylor describes finding recovery through multiple pathways 07:15 – Traumatic assault that led to alcoholism 08:00 – The beginning of Taylor's unbelievable duster addiction story 09:30 – Driving across the country while huffing air duster 10:45 – Crashing into a ditch after passing out behind the wheel 11:30 – Multiple arrests, hotel disasters, and NASCAR weekend chaos 13:45 – Dave reacts to one of the craziest huffing stories ever sent to Dopey 15:00 – Introduction to Dopey Episode 36 16:30 – Dave and Chris reunite for another early Dopey episode 18:45 – Celebrating 10,000 Dopey downloads 22:00 – Chris tells the story of gambling in St. Martin as a teenager 28:00 – Winning big at blackjack using a reckless betting strategy 30:00 – The trip to a Caribbean brothel takes an unexpected turn 34:30 – Gambling addiction versus drug addiction 37:30 – Dave's memories of wandering Las Vegas looking for drugs 39:30 – Chris' psychiatric hospital roommate leaves a surprise in the trash can 42:30 – Reading an email from Australian listener Matt 47:00 – Chris explains how he faked psychiatric symptoms to escape rehab 54:00 – Life inside the psych ward 56:30 – Mark joins the show before his infamous prank phone call 1:01:00 – Classic rehab prank phone call 1:04:00 – Dave tells the story of sneaking onto The Howard Stern Show while high 1:12:00 – Robin Quivers instantly realizes Dave is loaded 1:16:00 – \"Jumping the shark\" and wondering if Dopey has peaked 1:18:30 – Closing th…","meta_description":"Timestamps 00:00 – Dave records Dopey before dawn while the family is on vacation 02:40 – Reflections on replaying episodes with Chris from 10 years ago 0…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4813,"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/chris-at-the-anguilla-brothel-huffing-disaster-mark-s-prank-phone-call-howard-stern-show-story-dopey-total-replay-36/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/chris-at-the-anguilla-brothel-huffing-disaster-mark-s-prank-phone-call-howard-stern-show-story-dopey-total-replay-36.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
