🚨 NEW DOPEY EPISODE – FROM CUBA TO CRACK TO DAD’S 81st BIRTHDAY 🚨

Alright, Dopey Nation, this one’s an absolute debacle from start to finish – you don’t wanna miss it.

🎺 First up, Dave’s wild Cuba adventure:

Trombone Shorty, George Clinton, AND Bill Murray ghosting him TWICE.
No Wi-Fi, no recovery – just vibes and regrets.
Full Cuba recap on Patreon – ya freeloaders.

📞 Then, Wiley’s voicemail of PURE CHAOS:

Pulled over mid-score ‘cause his buddy buckled up in front of a cop.
Scammed TWICE by the same guy on a mission for H.
Ends up smoking crack with a prostitute next to a dumpster. 🔥

💀 And THEN… Rachel Siegel’s fentanyl odyssey:

Boston to smoking Fentanyl in Tel Aviv, begging for "cat food money" 🐱💸.
Surrounded by junkies with literal holes in their heads.
Barely surviving a 24-hour cold turkey flight home.

🎤 But wait, there’s more!

Dave’s dad, Alan, calls in for his 81st birthday, drops some geriatric wisdom, and debates Elon Musk’s… questionable salute.
Dopey Nation: SEND YOUR THOUGHTS! Email or voicemail your hot takes to dopeypodcast@gmail.com. What did you think of Rachel? What’s pissing you off? Let’s talk.
Shoutout to FeedSpot – Dopey is officially the #1 addiction and recovery podcast! (Who cares if we don’t know what FeedSpot is? We’ll take it.)
Ads? Yeah, they suck. But you can PAY $2 a week and stop complaining. Fast forward or cough it up, junkies.

Dopey 521: I accidentally dosed my cleaning lady! Xanax Binge to Psych Ward! Sucking Dick for 40 Years! Dylan’s Return and Cat Greenleaf! Crack, Heroin, Recovery, Ayahuasca 2:14:53

1 day ago2:14:53

2:14:53

This week on Dopey! Chris's sponsor Dylan is back! We hear all about how he is doing and reminisce about Chris and his final run before recovery! PLUS Cat Greenleaf stops in to read emails and talk shit! PATREON - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast DOPEY LOVE LIVE with MARGARET CHO AND FRIENDS: https://publictheater.org/productions/joes-pub/2025/d/dopey-podcast-live/ Episode Description: Buckle up, Dopey Nation—this one’s a wild ride. Dylan returns to the show, and we get deep into the messiness of recovery: Is 12-step the only way? Can something else work? Does Dylan even want to build something new? It’s a classic Dopey-style conversation—raw, honest, and full of uncertainty. Then, we get a next-level Dopey moment: a cleaning lady unknowingly eats a whole bar of mushroom chocolate, trips her face off, and leaves some of the most horrifying (and hilarious) voicemails we’ve ever heard. But that’s not all. TV host and podcaster Kat Greenleaf stops by to talk about her version of recovery, her very personal views on "mouthfeel," and a psychedelic experience that supposedly did 30 years of therapy in one night. Plus, she shares the shocking truth about what she really loves to put in her mouth—and it’s not what you think. Somehow, we squeeze in shoutouts, ads, and a surprise Pee-wee Herman connection. It’s a jam-packed, totally unhinged episode of Dopey. Biggest Takeaways: Dylan wrestles with the idea of alternative recovery models—does he want to build one, or is he just doing Dopey? 12-step’s structure may be flawed, but it’s survived nearly a century without scandals or profit motives, which is rare in the recovery world. A cleaning lady’s accidental mushroom trip is both horrifying and peak Dopey chaos. Kat Greenleaf gets very candid about her oral fixation (in more ways than one). Psychedelic therapy might be the future—or just an excuse to get high in a controlled setting. Pee-wee Herman was secretly a huge Katz’s fan and a sober ally. Don’t leave drug-infused treats where unsuspecting people might eat them. Sponsors & Shoutouts: CustomStickers.com – Get Dopey stickers! Use code DOPIE20 for 20% off. Safe Spot – A service that stays on the phone with you while you use. Call 1-800-972-0590. Dylan’s Berkshire Transition Network – Helping people in recovery. Final Notes: Stay strong, Dopey Nation—especially if you accidentally eat a whole chocolate bar of shrooms. And as always, fucking toodles for Chris.…

Dopey 517: Ultimate Tweaker Shit! F*cking his Best Friend's Girlfriend's Mom, Stealing, Recovery with JIMMY WHO AM YOU 2:17:14

30 days ago2:17:14

2:17:14

🔥 New Dopey! 🔥 This week, we dive deep into one of the craziest Dopey stories yet with Jimmy , a next-level meth-addicted criminal mastermind turned sober success story. If you’ve ever wondered what true tweaker madness looks like, buckle up—this one’s a ride . 👀 Here’s just some of the shit Jimmy did while completely spun out: Masterminded insane receipt scams to fund his habit 💰 Pulled off full-on grand theft —boosting designer sunglasses, Levi’s, and even a bike in under 30 minutes at the mall 🚲 Got a meth kingpin to take him under his wing —until the guy went on the run and got locked up for life 🔫 Got so spun out his own parents got a restraining order against him for robbing them 😵‍💫 Squatted in a trap house with his best friend, his pregnant girlfriend… and the girlfriend’s mom 🏚️ Started hooking up with the mom while still living in the house, like a true tweaker love story gone wrong 😳 Got arrested at least 30 times —with 9 warrants at the time of his final bust 🚔 Had a bag of meth stuffed in his underwear during a police search… and miraculously got away with it 🫠 💥 But here’s the twist: after 13 years of destruction , Jimmy somehow turned it all around. No program, no 12 steps—just sheer force of will, an insane work ethic, and an obsession with self-improvement. Now? He owns a house, makes good money, and has a whole new life. We talk meth, addiction, crime, prison, the power of discipline, and the weird guilt that comes with success after being such a disaster. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 📝 Drop a comment—what’s the wildest part of Jimmy’s story? 💀 Join the Dopey Nation on Patreon for bonus content, including my dad’s latest rants and the Doc McGhee episode!
