Summary

This week on Dopey! Dave is joined by old friend, comrade in recovery, and celebrated Director of Photography, Bobby Altman. Dave and Bobby reminisce on their time together in recovery mecca, Delray Beach Florida. We hear the pressures that Bobby faced growing up the son of legendary filmmaker, Robert Altman, and how that fueled his addiction and recovery. Bobby also shares his experiences around relapse, and codependency in an all around nice rehab style reunion. We also discuss halfway house pornography, hear a killer voicemail, and check in on the wild world of Dopey Reddit! All that and a little bit more on a low flying, crack smoking, house master blowing, Nashville shooting, 4th step continuing homespun new episode of Dopey. 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!
