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":"Tuesday Teaser with Selby and Cormac - Cormac Boofs Lots of Research Chemicals,","slug":"tuesday-teaser-with-selby-and-cormac-cormac-boofs-lots-of-research-chemicals","published_at":"2026-05-05T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/tuesday-teaser-with-selby-and-cormac-cormac-boofs-lots-of-research-chemicals","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/c33bd0e0-f490-4aec-9736-fa6e96ab6fca/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=c33bd0e0-f490-4aec-9736-fa6e96ab6fca&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"⏱️ Timestamp Notes 00:00 – Intro: Welcome to Dopey Tuesday episode + Patreon plug (Reddit roundup & bonus content) 01:00 – Recovery Check-ins: Selby celebrates 101 days sober and shares group inventory experience + “part of, not apart from” mindset 04:00 – Spring & Mental Health: Seasonal affective discussion and mood boost from sunlight 05:00 – Cormac’s Recovery Update: 9 years sober, admits complacency, returns to meetings and starts fitness routine 08:00 – Dopey Fitness Challenge: Dave’s routine (running, steps, sugar struggles) + “do what works for you” philosophy 09:30 – Origins of Cormac on Dopey: First email read on show + explanation of Listserv culture 11:30 – Research Chemical Story Begins: Dissociatives explained (ketamine, PCP, etc.) + online drug ordering vs street use 14:00 – The Infamous Story: Detailed account of experimental drug use setting (alone, late night) 17:00 – Dissociation Explained: Effects on perception, ego detachment, and therapy comparisons 20:00 – Drug Risk & Mislabeling: Taking the wrong substance, paranoia, and near-overdose experience 22:00 – Peak Experience: Intense dissociative trip with spiritual/religious hallucinations 25:00 – Chris & Early Dopey Connection: Email exchange + “associate instead of dissociate” insight 27:00 – Spotify Comments Segment: Listener reactions and mixed opinions on guests 30:00 – Patreon Comments: More listener engagement + Doug vs Ray debate 34:00 – Doug Discussion: Stories about Doug’s personality + truth vs exaggeration 36:30 – Patreon Teaser: Reddit roundup preview and teased controversy 38:00 – Closing: Musical performance (“Good So Bad”) + outro and Dopey Zoom mention","meta_description":"⏱️ Timestamp Notes 00:00 – Intro: Welcome to Dopey Tuesday episode + Patreon plug (Reddit roundup & bonus content) 01:00 – Recovery Check-ins: Selby celeb…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2504,"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/tuesday-teaser-with-selby-and-cormac-cormac-boofs-lots-of-research-chemicals/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/tuesday-teaser-with-selby-and-cormac-cormac-boofs-lots-of-research-chemicals.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
