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":"Leonardo DiCaprio, Amsterdam LSD Disaster, Whips, Jail & Classic Chris plus Vinnie - Dopey Replay 33:","slug":"leonardo-dicaprio-amsterdam-lsd-disaster-whips-jail-classic-chris-plus-vinnie-dopey-replay-33","published_at":"2026-06-22T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/leonardo-dicaprio-amsterdam-lsd-disaster-whips-jail-classic-chris-plus-vinnie-dopey-replay-33","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/2b615140-1dd9-4c81-b7e5-e3ff6747377b/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=2b615140-1dd9-4c81-b7e5-e3ff6747377b&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"TIME STAMPS: 00:18 – Dave melts in the heat after removing his air conditioners and rages about broken Rodecasters. 03:29 – Introduction to Dopey Replay #33 and memories of recording with almost no equipment. 05:51 – Dave signs up for a gym evaluation and contemplates gratitude versus suffering. 07:00 – Dopey Film Festival update and ticket warning. 08:16 – Listener email about discovering Chris after his death. 09:17 – Another emotional email from a newer listener who went back to the beginning. 12:00 – Patreon comments and memories of classic DJ episodes. 14:00 – Dave recounts the tragic details surrounding DJ Don's murder. 17:30 – Spotify comments and Knicks fandom. 19:49 – Replay begins: Dopey Episode 33. 22:00 – Vinny explains his life as a stand-up comic and hardware store employee. 25:00 – Discussion of money, laziness, and avoiding traditional work. 31:00 – Chris tells the story of a genius friend who gave away all his money before attempting suicide. 35:30 – Dave awkwardly gives Leonardo DiCaprio a Dopey card at Katz's. 41:00 – Debate about whether weed is a problem and the difference between addicts and normal people. 44:00 – Dave and Vinny remember working together and Dave borrowing fifty dollars during active addiction. 49:00 – Chris tells his horrific chocolate-cereal-and-vomit story. 57:00 – Vinny begins his Amsterdam LSD story. 1:05:00 – Tok strips naked and starts searching for his dog \"Java.\" 1:09:00 – Tok swings at strangers and gets whipped by two random men with sex whips. 1:12:00 – Dutch police calmly handcuff Tok and put him in jail for the night. 1:16:00 – Tok wakes up with no memory and discovers the whip marks on his back. 1:23:00 – Listener emails and missing Dopey episodes. 1:28:00 – Dave remembers bombing at stand-up comedy. 1:35:00 – The l…","meta_description":"TIME STAMPS: 00:18 – Dave melts in the heat after removing his air conditioners and rages about broken Rodecasters. 03:29 – Introduction to Dopey Replay #…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6252,"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/leonardo-dicaprio-amsterdam-lsd-disaster-whips-jail-classic-chris-plus-vinnie-dopey-replay-33/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/leonardo-dicaprio-amsterdam-lsd-disaster-whips-jail-classic-chris-plus-vinnie-dopey-replay-33.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
