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.

I haven't done a single drug in my life but can see the allure of use. I can however relate to Tina's voice mail completely. I'm 30 now and feel almost exactly like she does. Been pretty depressed since my early 20s. Listening to you guys lifts me up. I sometimes see depression as an addiction to sadness and as I've listened I've heard parallels from people's voice mails about addiction to how I've felt. I hope I never get into drugs because if they did make the pain go away I think I would be an addict in no time. I doubt I ever will because the idea of putting something in you to feel better is not for me. I'll just keep being miserable most of the time. Already gone on too long. Thanks for everything guys. I hope Tina feels better and gets through this.
