Summary

This Week on Dopey! In a seriously Special Thanksgiving Special we are joined by comedy icon, and Super-Dopey OG Margaret Cho! We learn more about her early days of becoming an addict. Her obsession with weed! A birthday party with Hollywood royalty, living in sobriety and much more! PLUS we remember our friend Bill Blaber and play one of his legendary Dopey appearances. PLUS Thanksgiving messages from Dopes, emails, voicemails and even more on a super smattering of gratitude Thanksgiving extravaganza of the good old 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 pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.
