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.

🗽 Growing up Irish Catholic in Woodside—“You can rob, but not in the neighborhood.”
🍔 Donovan’s Pub cheeseburgers and junkie codes.
🧠 Half the high is copping; puking was part of the ritual.
🌌 Spirituality as the real drug—“The only thing I know about God is there is one and I’m not it.”
🎭 Scamming cops during a raid by dropping fake names.
📿 “Mother jumpin’ prayers” every morning: “Thank you, I love you, I need you.”
🌊 La Perla in Puerto Rico, hookers at the Pan Am Games, and spritzed cocaine mist.

🙏 God doesn’t come in a booming voice—He comes in small shifts, if you keep showing up.
😂 Jemokes, mongo, bullshit, and spiritual banisters.
