Tuesday Teaser: Gay Sex Apps, Fat Shaming, Gary Dell'Abate's Party, Heroin

Curious about how others cope with the challenges of staying sober? This chaotic Tuesday teaser from Dopey packs in filthy jokes, sex chat and proper recovery grit, all in one very sweary bundle.

Dave is joined by long-time friend of the show Ray Brown, and the pair bounce from music nerdery (Eminem and Kid Rock allegedly lifting material) to Ray sleeping in his sister’s bassoon repair shop, complete with the immortal line, “stop shoving bassoons in my face.” There’s talk of kratom trees in Hawaii and Dave’s blunt advice to a Dopey listener: if you want off kratom, maybe start by chopping down the trees in your garden.

The tone swings freely between ridiculous and real. Dave previews his upcoming chat with Andy Dick, laughing about being repeatedly fat shamed: “He goes, you look like a soft taco with your stomach is the meat falling out of the shell.” From there they go into wildly explicit territory with gay hook-up apps like Blowy and Sniffies, joking about maps full of anonymous body parts and the idea of a fetishist who only wants to clean your bathroom and leave.

Underneath the madness, the recovery thread stays strong. They read comments from the Dopey community, including one that quietly cuts through the silliness: “I have 10 months clean, but I think about getting high for a good part of every day, hoping that will stop.” Dave answers with straight talk about doing the work of staying clean, while still admitting he misses heroin himself.

This teaser suits people in or around addiction who appreciate dark humour, messy honesty and zero sanctimony. If you like your recovery chat mixed with dick jokes, self‑deprecation and real struggle, this one might be right up your street – how do you feel about laughing at the madness while still taking your sobriety seriously?
