Hello and welcome to another episode of Dopey and this is the Monday total replay of Dopee,

0:24.6

the podcast on drugs addiction and dumb shit or on the dark comedy of drug addiction, whichever you may prefer.

0:33.6

And on Mondays, if you didn't know, we replay all of the classic episodes with Chris.
