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":"Dopey 30: Fake LSD Flashbacks, Tinder Karen & the Giant Pig","slug":"dopey-30-fake-lsd-flashbacks-tinder-karen-the-giant-pig","published_at":"2026-06-01T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/dopey-30-fake-lsd-flashbacks-tinder-karen-the-giant-pig","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/3399dfd3-5ee3-4359-a2b3-9ef26823c063/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=3399dfd3-5ee3-4359-a2b3-9ef26823c063&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamp Notes 00:00:18 Dave introduces Total Replay and explains why Episode 29 with Ray Brown is unavailable. 00:02:44 Tribute to Ray Brown and promotion for the Dopey Recovery Film Festival. 00:04:00 Dave reflects on how much he interrupted people in the early episodes. 00:05:00 Discussion of Chris, DJ, Todd, and other Dopey friends who have passed away. 00:06:15 Listener emails about recovery, fatherhood, Patreon, and Dopey community. 00:08:00 Patreon and Spotify comment roundup. 00:15:49 Beginning of original Dopey Episode 30. 00:16:00 Karen joins the show and explains meeting Chris on Tinder. 00:19:00 Chris and Karen's first dates and early relationship. 00:22:30 Hiking, Tinder stories, and Chris's reluctance to commit. 00:28:00 Karen explains Chris nearly ghosting her. 00:30:00 Story of Karen drunkenly inviting Chris over and passing out on the toilet. 00:34:00 Dave debates whether Karen is officially Chris's girlfriend. 00:40:00 Discussion about missing guest DJ and methadone recovery. 00:46:00 Karen talks about hearing Chris's addiction stories for the first time. 00:48:00 Chris's infamous group-jerking-off story gets revisited. 00:52:00 Oz, prison rape discussions, and jail stories. 00:59:00 Discussion about Dopey listeners, reviews, and community. 01:01:00 Chris begins telling the Silk Road / Dark Web story. 01:03:00 Ordering LSD, heroin, and cocaine through the mail. 01:05:00 Chris relapses while managing a sober living house. 01:11:00 Debate about Suboxone and maintenance medication. 01:13:00 The Wolf of Wall Street acid trip begins. 01:18:00 Chris pretends meditation triggered an HPPD flashback. 01:20:00 Tina initially believes the fake flashback story. 01:21:00 Chris confesses, retracts the confession, then confesses again. 01:24:00 The giant piggy bank…","meta_description":"Timestamp Notes 00:00:18 Dave introduces Total Replay and explains why Episode 29 with Ray Brown is unavailable. 00:02:44 Tribute to Ray Brown and promoti…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5751,"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/dopey-30-fake-lsd-flashbacks-tinder-karen-the-giant-pig/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/dopey-30-fake-lsd-flashbacks-tinder-karen-the-giant-pig.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
