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":"Shooting Coke, Bell Ringers, Dopey Monday Replay: Farts, Rehab, Lou Reed & Francis + Billy Baroo Returns","slug":"shooting-coke-bell-ringers-dopey-monday-replay-farts-rehab-lou-reed-francis-billy-baroo-returns","published_at":"2026-04-27T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/shooting-coke-bell-ringers-dopey-monday-replay-farts-rehab-lou-reed-francis-billy-baroo-returns","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/98ba3adb-c6cd-478f-bf68-b1243d8bd818/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=98ba3adb-c6cd-478f-bf68-b1243d8bd818&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Time Stamps 00:00 Dave intro + why Monday replays matter 01:00 Panda email begins 02:30 Couch to 5K / Prospect Park race talk 04:00 Functional alcoholism + hidden crack addiction 06:00 Ayahuasca and psychedelics in recovery 08:00 Ibogaine confusion + “mitigable” rant 10:00 Panda clean time + Dave reacts 11:45 Lauren voicemail: syringe hidden in detox 14:10 Spotify comments + listener reactions 19:00 Patreon comments + community shoutouts 21:30 Start of classic Dopey episode 24 22:00 Wolf Pack documentary discussion 24:00 HBO Vinyl + overdose scene 26:00 Chris tells coke-shot overdose revival story 28:30 Bell ringers + shooting coke 30:00 Listener Emily email 32:00 Chris’s insane email response 35:00 Chris explains how rehab finally worked 39:45 Francis story begins 42:00 Francis leaves rehab and dies 46:50 Artie Lange / Comedy Cellar talk 49:00 Billy Baroo / Randy joins present-day show 51:00 Randy praises Dave’s growth 58:00 Dave on humility, fame, and interviewing 1:02:00 Randy compares Dave to Howard Stern 1:05:00 Best Dopey episodes discussion 1:07:00 Lost tape story + Artie Lange photo 1:09:30 Outro song “Good So Bad”","meta_description":"Time Stamps 00:00 Dave intro + why Monday replays matter 01:00 Panda email begins 02:30 Couch to 5K / Prospect Park race talk 04:00 Functional alcoholism…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4311,"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/shooting-coke-bell-ringers-dopey-monday-replay-farts-rehab-lou-reed-francis-billy-baroo-returns/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/shooting-coke-bell-ringers-dopey-monday-replay-farts-rehab-lou-reed-francis-billy-baroo-returns.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
