Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction
Special Guest Joins — A special guest hops on remotely, reminiscing about COVID-era recordings (attic sessions, phone episodes with Linda). Shares a wild story about a bum flicking a cigarette that lands right in his mouth outside CVS. Spotify Comments Read-Aloud — From the previous Tuesday episode: New listener appreciates the Nick Reiner discussions and wants more old interviews. Tease of Zoe’s sharp Patreon critique of Dave’s Reiner handling. Richard calls it a “pathological obsession” and hopes Dave moves on by spring 2026. Romanil agrees it’s sensationalizing and suggests smudging the attic with sage. Nick Reiner Update — Dave announces he depublished the Reiner compilation episodes due to ongoing backlash and personal guilt (“It’s haunting me”). Listener Email: Andrew Zane — Wild guest pitch from Andrew detailing: Childhood grooming into drugs (Freon, mouthwash, morning glory seeds). Oxy → heroin → Midwest crime spree with girlfriend (scamming hospitals for Dilaudid, possible North Dakota policy changes). Arizona desert era: licking psychedelic Sonoran Desert Toads, first meth. Drunk arrest pushing daughter’s stroller → divorce → more rehab. Xylazine-laced dope → Grindr hookup gone wrong (near sex-trafficking, months-long psychosis). Vyvanse overprescription issues; now mostly sober with kratom (harm reduction) and occasional toad psychedelics. Wants to discuss drugs + human trafficking on dating apps and stimulant overprescription. Deep Dive Topic — Sex trafficking & dating apps: coercion shades, pimps forcing partners/girlfriends, why victims stay, real dangers on Grindr/Tinder (motels along I-95, etc.). Dave reads the legal definition and admits past confusion about consent/coercion. Cliffhanger Tease — Dave and the special guest are starting to work on a movie script together — full details exclusive to Patreon subscribers (patreon.com/dopeypodcast).
