Dopey92: Unfiltered Tales of Addiction and Recovery with a Comedic Twist
This show was 80% debauchery and 20% recovery, now it’s a little bit different. Rest in Peace Chris, you will be missed, and never forgotten.
Imagine mixing the raw, often painful reality of drug addiction with a hearty dose of humor. That's exactly what you'll find in this episode of Dopey. Hosts Dave and Chris dive into the absurd and sometimes tragic world of addiction, sharing stories that are as hilarious as they are heartbreaking. This episode features Justin, a Dopey Nation member who recently earned his MBA and MSW, recounting some wild Phish concert escapades from his using days.
You'll also hear a voice memo from Bailey, who hilariously details faking a toothache to sneak out of rehab for drugs, an unfortunate pants-soiling incident in a store, and an awkward moment of vomiting during sex. Dave and Chris don't shy away from the nitty-gritty either; they discuss the mechanics of injection and the perils of IV drug use. Chris also shares his childhood adventures in trying to score ketamine and mushrooms on the streets.
Through all the laughter and outrageous tales, there's a poignant undercurrent—Chris tragically passed away from an overdose in 2018, casting a shadow over the humor. Yet, this episode remains a testament to their unique ability to find light in the darkest places. If you're looking for a podcast that blends gut-busting humor with the sobering realities of addiction, this episode of Dopey is a must-listen.
