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":"The Cocaine Episode with Ingrid Casares, freebase, making Sex with Madonna, Miami, Club Life, Addiction, Rehab, Recovery - Dopey's Greatest Hits","slug":"the-cocaine-episode-with-ingrid-casares-freebase-making-sex-with-madonna-miami-club-life-addiction-rehab-recovery-dopey-s-greatest-hits","published_at":"2026-07-02T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/the-cocaine-episode-with-ingrid-casares-freebase-making-sex-with-madonna-miami-club-life-addiction-rehab-recovery-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/aa2716a5-f52f-4fb1-8150-54e11175e734/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=aa2716a5-f52f-4fb1-8150-54e11175e734&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamps 00:00 Opening song: \"Everybody Does Cocaine\" 02:07 Dave celebrates the success of the first Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival 03:30 Good Day New York appearance and plans for future festivals 05:20 Upcoming Patreon Zooms and vacation schedule 05:55 Introducing the Ingrid Casares Greatest Hits episode 06:35 Listener email celebrating six years sober 07:45 Patreon comments on the Danny Trejo episode 09:15 Spotify comments, Patreon, stickers and Knicks talk 11:00 Dave debates Tesla versus ska music 15:15 Introduction to Ingrid Casares 17:30 Meeting Madonna for the first time 19:45 First experiences with marijuana and alcohol 22:15 Having someone take her SATs 24:40 Fake illnesses, allergic reactions and early addict behavior 28:45 Discovering cocaine in early-1980s Miami 33:30 First rehab experiences at Palm Beach Institute and Alina Lodge 39:45 Doing cocaine in NA meetings 42:00 Stealing an ounce and a half of cocaine from a college dealer 49:30 Becoming a cocaine mule between Miami and North Carolina 54:00 Freebasing, paranoia and near disaster 58:45 Returning to treatment and finding Concept House 01:06:00 Building a year of sobriety 01:08:30 New Wave music, college and another relapse 01:15:00 Drug dealing through college 01:22:00 Smuggling cocaine before a planned Europe trip 01:24:30 Final cocaine collapse and entering treatment again 01:29:00 Meeting Sandra Bernhard and Madonna 01:33:30 Relapsing after years sober 01:35:45 Cocaine with celebrities and Sean Penn stories 01:42:00 Launching Liquid and helping create South Beach nightlife 01:45:30 Running world-famous clubs while staying sober 01:49:00 Chris Paciello's arrest and the end of an era 01:52:00 Prescription opioid addiction after surgery 01:56:45 Alcohol relapse years later 02:00:00 Recovery tod…","meta_description":"Timestamps 00:00 Opening song: \"Everybody Does Cocaine\" 02:07 Dave celebrates the success of the first Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival 03:30 Good Day N…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":7527,"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/the-cocaine-episode-with-ingrid-casares-freebase-making-sex-with-madonna-miami-club-life-addiction-rehab-recovery-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/the-cocaine-episode-with-ingrid-casares-freebase-making-sex-with-madonna-miami-club-life-addiction-rehab-recovery-dopey-s-greatest-hits.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
