Summary

This week on Dopey! It is with a heavy heart that we wish a nice Bona Fortuna to Dopey Producer, Sam! Sam drops the bombshell that he is taking an extended hiatus from the Dopey Show starting...now! We recount some of Sam's Dopey history, and what working on Dopey has meant to him personally and to his recovery. We play some of Sam's Greatest Hits and cry our eye's out on a super emotional Dopey Show! PLUS Linda has Covid, Dave breaks his foot, and realizes his fantasy of going on a gigantic podcast! All that and a tiny bit more on this rough and tumble but emotionally agonizing brand new episode of that ol' Dopey magic. 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!
