- Fascinating guests & great recovery community from creator Dave Manheim
Although I have been clean and sober for over ten years. I still look forward to every Dopey podcast — the music—the celebrities, the schadenfreude—the backstage kibitzing…. Fun! Dave and crew always keep it 100% real. Some great guests over the years! And I think I am in love with his dad Alan —but isn’t everyone? #Stay Strong #DopeyNation

Some people are just incapable of telling their story in a linear, chronological format. This guy was all over the place.

Australia4 months ago the development from Dave and Chris being rehab buddies and telling all of their using stories to Dave deciding to keep the show going after Chris's tragic death. Dopey is the realest and rawest show showing both the hilarious things we do as addicts, the tragic truth about where addiction takes us, and the possibility of happiness that comes from walking away from the only thing we ever felt made us happy. Bottom line is Dopey is real and raw.
