Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction
Dave & ChrisDopey 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.

- Please more women!
Sorry I am a feminist 😜 can you please have more women on your show! 🙏💕
I love listening to your voice and find your interview style adorable.
I am not an addict and never have been, thanks all Goddesses in the sky, but I somehow connect with the pain, and have huge admiration for everyone overcoming addiction and build a decent future for themselves. Well done Dave.

Love this podcast Dave. I’m 4.5 years clean after almost 20 years using old school H and fentanyl out of necessity my last 2 years of using. I’ve been listening since I had about 6 months clean. Just a heads up, your decision to play Lou Reed on the last podcast is amazing bc velvet underground was my soundtrack of choice for booting up. However, using copyrighted music will get your episodes demonetized. Just a heads up. Keep doing God’s work!!!!

Boring. You have to hear the nitty-gritty in order to appreciate the miracle. He just provided a litany of things your listeners in recovery have heard 1 million times- yawn

Apple Podcasts2hsmetekUnited States3 months ago - Serious without taking itself too seriously.
I first listened to dopey when you were interviewing Ingrid Casares I was blown away by the podcast and I was still able to laugh. I appreciate the fine line between the serious subject matter and the humor that really helps people feel less alone. Loved your interview with Ditty and Sara Clark. Keep up the great work and toodles for Chris.
