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 588: Crystal Meth, Chemsex, Poop for Pay, Sexual Assault, Psychosis & Recovery with Dean Moda","slug":"dopey-588-crystal-meth-chemsex-poop-for-pay-sexual-assault-psychosis-recovery-with-dean-moda","published_at":"2026-06-26T12:36:49+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/dopey-588-crystal-meth-chemsex-poop-for-pay-sexual-assault-psychosis-recovery-with-dean-moda","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/63bf3912-49d7-4396-b910-98de227be724/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=63bf3912-49d7-4396-b910-98de227be724&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"TIMESTAMP NOTES: 0:00 — Oro Recovery ad: Malibu/LA, founded by Bob Forrest, compassion-based treatment, surfing, sound baths, Newsweek top 5 rehabs. ororecovery.com 3:15 — Dave opens playing Rolling Stones \"Monkey Man\" — one of the greatest junkie songs ever.
