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":"Kosher Weed, a Bank Robber & the Infamous Blue Cheese Speedball | Dopey 38 with Modi","slug":"kosher-weed-a-bank-robber-the-infamous-blue-cheese-speedball-dopey-38-with-modi","published_at":"2026-07-27T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/kosher-weed-a-bank-robber-the-infamous-blue-cheese-speedball-dopey-38-with-modi","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/94c125d2-ad8e-429b-80cf-41251b46f0fe/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=94c125d2-ad8e-429b-80cf-41251b46f0fe&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Kosher Weed, a Bank Robber & the Infamous Blue Cheese Speedball | Dopey 38 with Modi TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Dopey Total Replay 38 introduction 01:40 – Remembering the original Dopey and Chris O’Connor 03:41 – Why Dave has mixed feelings about the Modi episode 04:48 – Original listener comments from ten years ago 06:48 – Mark’s story: crystal meth, touring and The Real McKenzies 08:24 – Cocaine dealing, opiate addiction and a suicide attempt 09:36 – Shannon replaces stolen cocaine with baking powder 11:16 – Dave considers buying weed at a music festival 12:22 – Patreon reactions to Dopey Replay 37 13:45 – DopeyCon at SVA on October 3 14:37 – Spotify comments and remembering Chris 16:13 – The missing blue cheese story 17:51 – Original Dopey Episode 38 begins 18:18 – Comedian Modi enters and roasts Dave’s apartment 20:19 – Dopey’s extremely primitive recording equipment 21:19 – Modi’s first marijuana experience with Stuttering John 22:44 – Dave lies his way onto The Howard Stern Show 24:05 – Testing the “normie” on drug terminology 25:42 – Modi takes ecstasy on a cruise ship 27:17 – Heroin is “boy,” cocaine is “girl” 28:06 – Kosher marijuana edibles for the Sabbath 30:31 – Accidentally eating an enormous dose of edibles 32:33 – Dave pitches his black-and-white cookie business 34:06 – Modi’s abandoned podcast equipment 35:19 – Dave’s camp-counselor energy 36:25 – Jewish addicts and comedians in recovery 38:03 – Modi performs at a Caron recovery fundraiser 40:02 – Chris turns against Dave 42:07 – Modi’s appearance on The Sopranos 43:26 – A comedian desperately searches for an eight ball 44:27 – Greg Giraldo, Courtney Love and a disastrous recovery event 47:10 – Chris’s father discovers his crack pipe 49:08 – Finding humor inside addiction and recovery 50:27 – Twelve-step anony…","meta_description":"Kosher Weed, a Bank Robber & the Infamous Blue Cheese Speedball | Dopey 38 with Modi TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Dopey Total Replay 38 introduction 01:40 – Rememb…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4657,"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/kosher-weed-a-bank-robber-the-infamous-blue-cheese-speedball-dopey-38-with-modi/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/kosher-weed-a-bank-robber-the-infamous-blue-cheese-speedball-dopey-38-with-modi.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
