Summary

This week on Dopey! Dave shares about his 5 year itch, and comes clean about his struggles in recovery. Meanwhile, Strong Island legend, Smiling Joe swings in with the serious fire Dopey that spans decades of debauchery. We hear all about the robberies, the speedballs, methadone and much much more. Plus an email where a dope fiend gets paid for a dead dog that wasn't his own. We hear fire reviews, learn more about Dave's fascination with Nyquil and a great 80's TV parody song. On a glue sniffing, panties dropin, petty thieving, brand spanking new yet old episode of the Dopey Show. More About Dopey: 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!
