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":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100"},"episode":{"title":"Research Chemicals, DMT, 2CB, Methylone, Syringe, Cancer Scare, Katz's, Kratom TOTAL REPLAY #23","slug":"research-chemicals-dmt-2cb-methylone-syringe-cancer-scare-katz-s-kratom-total-replay-23","published_at":"2026-04-20T13:45:50+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/research-chemicals-dmt-2cb-methylone-syringe-cancer-scare-katz-s-kratom-total-replay-23","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/2f4f36ff-a4a7-4791-b2ea-352fafded91f/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=2f4f36ff-a4a7-4791-b2ea-352fafded91f&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamps 00:17 Dave opens from the studio at his dad’s and talks about hauling gear around all the time 01:00 Bringing his daughters into Manhattan for a museum day 02:30 The Met, the Raphael show, the “buff baby” painting, and wandering the museum 04:10 Walking back through the city, gratitude, and a good sober Sunday 05:30 Voicemail: kratom, alcohol, psychosis, and diving through a window at a rodeo afterparty 11:45 Email from DJ about getting socks, his wife nearly dying, and how getting clean is only the beginning 14:00 Intro to the old replay: research chemicals, DMT, 2CB, methylone, and more 15:10 Spotify comments from the previous replay 19:05 Start of the replay with Dave and Chris 19:30 Expired Honey Bunches of Oats, cigarettes in the room, and Chris playing “Forever in Debt” 24:20 Dave talks about going to Disney World and why it reminded him of rehab 28:55 Dave’s Katz’s story: rude customers, gluten drama, and getting yelled at by the manager 38:20 The neck lump story and getting scared it might be cancer 40:35 Email from a guy taking research chemicals and chasing spiritual meaning 45:10 Dave tells his “hooping the shooter” story from the Caribbean 50:20 More on research chemicals, psychedelics, and the search for meaning 58:15 End of replay / old Dopey outro with Dave and Chris 01:00:20 Dave’s new notes on the old episode 01:01:00 Thoughts on the old setup, old songs, Chris’s energy, and the Katz’s story 01:03:10 Reflection on the early days of the show and Cormac’s eventual role 01:05:05 “Good So Bad” plays the episode out 01:08:40 End of show","meta_description":"Timestamps 00:17 Dave opens from the studio at his dad’s and talks about hauling gear around all the time 01:00 Bringing his daughters into Manhattan for…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4045,"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/research-chemicals-dmt-2cb-methylone-syringe-cancer-scare-katz-s-kratom-total-replay-23/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/research-chemicals-dmt-2cb-methylone-syringe-cancer-scare-katz-s-kratom-total-replay-23.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
