Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction
This week on the Dopey Patreon—Heart Attack Doug’s back from near death after a Memorial Day TCI (a fancy word for a mini-stroke), and somehow still complaining about how our meeting has too many newcomers. We check in on Ray the Clammer, who’s heading to rehab after a gnarly UTI went septic and scrambled his brain. Doug mocks Ray’s wisdom, I defend him, and we argue about Rule 62 like two idiots in a bagel store. I reflect on red cardinals, muck, and my own weird-ass poetry. Then I go full Reddit meltdown and read the comments tearing apart the Dopey teasers. Ads? Too many. Content? Not enough. Muffin in a Bad Mood? MVP. Also: a change to the teaser format, some Zoom updates, birthday hints, and I close with a raw, homemade track: “I Wanna Be Good So Bad.” Stay strong, Dopey Nation. Fucking toodles for Chris.
