Summary

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 [email protected]. 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 [email protected]. 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. 😏

0:23.4	the end of the year. And I'm, we're doing the, um, the Dopey Monday replay. And before all the Nick
0:31.6	Reiner, you know, horror and replays of Nick's episodes, We were basically replaying what had happened two weeks
0:39.8	before. And we were about to replay Daryl Hammond. So I'm going to replay Daryl Hammond. So if you
0:46.1	heard Daryl Hammond before, you don't need to listen now. I also have been doing some thinking,
0:52.6	and I truly doubt that five days of dopy will happen for January.
0:58.2	I don't think we're going to do the replay. The Wednesday show is going to be intermittent

1:42.5	It's on the, I think it's on the sound or on an inlet from
1:46.0	the sound, the Long Island Sound, which neighbors Connecticut, and for some reason, when you go
1:52.8	there in the wintertime and you put bird seeds in your hand and you stand near an outcropping of trees, tiny birds, chickadees, and titmice,
2:05.9	and some red-headed woodpeckers land in your hand and eat the seeds. And it is the most magical thing in
