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":"KnickHeartbreak, Knicks, Lost Dreams & Recovery, Tuesday Teaser with Heart Attack Doug,","slug":"knickheartbreak-knicks-lost-dreams-recovery-tuesday-teaser-with-heart-attack-doug","published_at":"2026-06-09T16:29:06+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/knickheartbreak-knicks-lost-dreams-recovery-tuesday-teaser-with-heart-attack-doug","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/e7909f7a-049d-41a8-91ac-7b9d9375d98e/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=e7909f7a-049d-41a8-91ac-7b9d9375d98e&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamps 1:14 – Welcome to Dopey Tuesday with Heart Attack Doug 1:40 – Doug's first impressions of Dopey and Dave 2:30 – The origins of Heart Attack Doug on the show 3:15 – The Dopey YouTube problem and a call for help 4:20 – The \"Good Morning Dopey\" experiment 5:45 – Doug explains why he wanted to be part of Dopey 6:30 – Handsome Evan vs. Heart Attack Doug 7:00 – Knicks playoff fever takes over New York 8:10 – Recording in the Dopey garage 9:00 – Patreon plug and Knicks frustration 10:00 – NBA officiating conspiracy theories 11:10 – Watching Knicks games with the family 12:00 – Why June on Long Island is paradise 12:45 – Stressing about the Dopey Recovery Film Festival 14:00 – Brandon Novak, Hank Azaria, and attendance anxiety 15:20 – Chris Bishop shoutout 15:45 – June 9th \"Just For Today\": Old Dreams Needn't Die 17:35 – Recovery, ambition, and reclaiming dreams 18:40 – Dave and Doug argue about who had the harder childhood 21:00 – Dave's gifted school story 22:45 – Addiction, recovery, and dream fulfillment 24:20 – Doug's early weed-dealing career 25:45 – Colombian Gold, Acapulco Gold, and old-school weed 27:05 – Patreon sticker contest discussion 27:50 – Spotify comments and birthday wishes 29:15 – Magnesium recommendations from Dopey Nation 30:00 – The legendary Lenny Dykstra story 30:45 – Wayland Finger and Billy Strings fans 31:20 – Patreon tease and farewell 31:45 – Listener cover of \"Good So Bad\" 35:10 – End of episode YouTube Description Heart Attack Doug returns for another Dopey Tuesday as he and Dave revisit the origins of their friendship, the rise and fall of Good Morning Dopey, and the eternal struggle of growing the Dopey YouTube channel.
