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":"Robbing Crack Dealers and Surviving Hell on Long Island - Motorcycle Gang Gary from the Beach - Dopey's Greatest Hits","slug":"robbing-crack-dealers-and-surviving-hell-on-long-island-motorcycle-gang-gary-from-the-beach-dopey-s-greatest-hits","published_at":"2026-05-21T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/robbing-crack-dealers-and-surviving-hell-on-long-island-motorcycle-gang-gary-from-the-beach-dopey-s-greatest-hits","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/0de65173-c699-4022-8308-e4702222e906/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=0de65173-c699-4022-8308-e4702222e906&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamp Notes 00:00 - 03:15 Dave opens Dopey Greatest Hits, Long Island Railroad strike, Metro North, driving his dad’s car, missing the Patreon Zoom 03:15 - 06:25 Knicks comeback, Australian listener message, drinking taper, mole cake story, voice memo instructions, dentist/implant update 06:25 - 11:45 Ben voicemail: 7OH run, original OC oxy, Dilaudid, receptors blocked, warning about 7OH 11:45 - 14:50 Dave talks AI cleanup, Katz’s photo restoration, Dopey Greatest Hits poll, Motorcycle Gang Gary winning 14:50 - 23:30 Patreon and Spotify comments from Gabor Maté episode, addiction as disease debate, AI song, film festival, Bob Weir, Gabor Szabo, Canadian jokes 23:30 - 24:25 Dave introduces Motorcycle Gang Gary from the beach 24:25 - 26:45 Gary talks Yellowstone, the beach meeting, Dave’s raw shares, and why the beach became home 26:45 - 29:15 Gary’s first drinking, older neighbor brothers, Beatles, Woodstock, pot, and early coke 29:15 - 31:45 First cocaine experience, weed obsession, quitting sports, stoner Zeppelin handball crew 31:45 - 34:15 Woods parties, keg parties, coke returning in 11th grade, barely graduating for his mom 34:15 - 38:00 Weightlifting, Teamsters job, early drinking, high school truck crash after kamikazes 38:00 - 41:30 Cop brings Gary home, grandfather reaction, registration showing up on his pillow, Italian mother guilt 41:30 - 45:15 Fighting crew, beach party assault arrest, crazy friend Paulie, stealing weed from Paulie’s dad by replacing eighths with quarters 45:15 - 49:00 Teamsters money, gym life, selling weed, California pot bales, drinking and early adult stability 49:00 - 53:30 Coke comes back hard, new house, Dominican delivery dealers, motorcycles, biker culture, 1% club world 53:30 - 56:00 Strip club story, ego, cheating, motorcycl…","meta_description":"Timestamp Notes 00:00 - 03:15 Dave opens Dopey Greatest Hits, Long Island Railroad strike, Metro North, driving his dad’s car, missing the Patreon Zoom 03…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":8054,"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/robbing-crack-dealers-and-surviving-hell-on-long-island-motorcycle-gang-gary-from-the-beach-dopey-s-greatest-hits/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/robbing-crack-dealers-and-surviving-hell-on-long-island-motorcycle-gang-gary-from-the-beach-dopey-s-greatest-hits.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
