Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. 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.

Monday REPLAY SHOW! Darrell Hammond Tales From the Crack House Replay and is Dave A Narcissist Grifter (Jew)
Dave reflects on winding down 2025, feeling like crap but taking the kids to the magical Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge in Sag Harbor, NY (officially the Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge – 4.8 stars on Google from 775 reviews). In winter, chickadees, titmice, and woodpeckers land on your hand to eat seeds – described as pure magic and the "opposite of addiction."
Family hit with a stomach virus over Christmas → Dave jokes about wanting to catch it to skip work and binge The Sopranos.
Doubts about "Five Days of Dopey" in January → intermittent Wednesday/Thursday shows. Send opinions to dopeypodcast@gmail.com.
Plugs ad-free listening on Patreon (patreon.com/dopeypodcast) and calls for positive iTunes reviews amid backlash.
Addresses controversy from replaying Nick Reiner episodes → got called "Narcissist Grifter," "Exploitative Jew," etc. Explains intent was to share old conversations without editorializing; turned down media interviews.
Reads old listener emails:
Wendy: Idea for a recovery-only social media platform (no bans for "junky" content).
James D. Hart: Interracial bands like Prince and the Revolution (inspired by Sly & the Family Stone), Jimi Hendrix Experience, Smashing Pumpkins.
Christy Adams: Praise for an old episode on neuroscience/meth/GLP-1 meds; 3 years clean.
Stickers/socks for email readers/voicemail players → send to dopeypodcast@gmail.com.
Classic Darrell Hammond Interview (2017) — Darrell opens up about SNL life, impressions (Clinton, Connery, Trump), childhood trauma/abuse, alcoholism starting at 14, self-harm, a wild Harlem crack house story (mistaken for a cop, defended as "that motherfucker old TV"), stroke ward epiphany leading to lasting sobriety, tools like the St. Francis Prayer, connection, and the "law of threes."
Dave re-reads old Spotify comments on the Hammond episode (debate over "This or That" game, mushroom/ketamine/MDMA therapy questions, etc.).
Stay strong, Dopey Nation. FuckingToodles for Chris. 😏
