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 Liquid LSD, Living in a Porta Potty, Smuggling Heroin in Jail & Steve-O’s Wild Ride, Divorce, losing 200 pounds Skinny Vinny","slug":"shooting-liquid-lsd-living-in-a-porta-potty-smuggling-heroin-in-jail-steve-o-s-wild-ride-divorce-losing-200-pounds-skinny-vinny","published_at":"2026-05-20T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/shooting-liquid-lsd-living-in-a-porta-potty-smuggling-heroin-in-jail-steve-o-s-wild-ride-divorce-losing-200-pounds-skinny-vinny","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/3602c82b-4a61-4c93-90e0-be1e5e7effe3/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=3602c82b-4a61-4c93-90e0-be1e5e7effe3&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamp Notes 00:00 – Dopey Wednesday song / intro 01:05 – Dave promotes the Dopey Short Film Festival on June 26 02:40 – Skinny Vinny intro / recorded in the Wild Ride Steve-O van 03:00 – JD DeHart voicemail: three-day cocaine binge in Mississippi 05:49 – JD describes cocaine overdose paralysis / “whiteout” 08:11 – JD immediately smokes crack after nearly dying 09:00 – Patreon comments on Blake Mycoskie episode 13:30 – Spotify comments: listeners roast rich guy recovery, AI therapy, polo, TOMS 15:20 – Listener Michael shares 120 days clean after brutal relapse 17:24 – More Spotify comments: Dave’s radio voice, meditations, Pacific time Zoom request 20:00 – Dave and Skinny Vinny begin in the Wild Ride van 20:45 – Wild Ride hiatus / Steve-O backlash from clipped Harlan Williams episode 23:00 – Dave introduces Skinny Vinny properly 24:14 – Vinny remembers early sobriety, Texas, inherited money, delusional plans 26:34 – Vinny’s Jackass obsession / Bam Margera punching him as a kid 29:00 – Nitrous on jam band tour / Phish, Bob Weir, parking lot balloons 31:04 – Vermont heroin days / kratom detox attempt 32:00 – Girlfriend overdoses in front of her parents 34:00 – Silk Road drugs / shooting liquid LSD 35:23 – “If I could rig it, I could dig it” 37:40 – Dave and Vinny talk regret, damage, and recovery 40:04 – Porta potty bottom begins 42:27 – Vinny’s daily hustle: Dunkin, Obama phone, stealing energy drinks 44:05 – Jail, prison pocket drugs, needles, Xanax, tobacco 46:29 – Steve-O helps recreate the prison pocket stunt in Australia 48:48 – Recovery dream life / Zachass, Steve-O, showing up 51:11 – Vinny’s Jackass dream coming true with Bam at Burnside 52:49 – Tommy Lee “steals” Vinny’s Rolex for a video 54:00 – Early sobriety: “I’ll get high later” 55:08 – Starting steps a…","meta_description":"Timestamp Notes 00:00 – Dopey Wednesday song / intro 01:05 – Dave promotes the Dopey Short Film Festival on June 26 02:40 – Skinny Vinny intro / recorded…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5439,"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-liquid-lsd-living-in-a-porta-potty-smuggling-heroin-in-jail-steve-o-s-wild-ride-divorce-losing-200-pounds-skinny-vinny/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-liquid-lsd-living-in-a-porta-potty-smuggling-heroin-in-jail-steve-o-s-wild-ride-divorce-losing-200-pounds-skinny-vinny.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
