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. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a ... more

I stumbled onto this podcast and now I can’t stop listening. I love the casual conversation and the wild drug-fueled stories along with talk of the realities of recovery. Keep it going Dopey!

Hey Dave. Love the podcast. Listened since 2018. Took me this long to write a review lol, sorry. Your podcast is the perfect mix of funny stories that make me chuckle in the car, inspiration that keeps me motivated to be good, and community that makes me feel like I’m not alone. Never did any drugs, but am a porn addict and I can relate a lot to the overall message of the podcast. Would love to hear more voices on their struggle with porn use. But I know not everyone has the same perception of i... more
Apple Podcasts5Joe—-97United Statesa month ago - Dopey Love
I wrote Dave an email a while back titled "a love letter to Dopey" and I think that fairly describes the way I feel.
This podcast has been the comfort and familiarity I've need through my own sobriety journey for many years now.
Chris and Dave's journey from the very first episode felt like I've known them or used with people like them my whole life.
When I tune in and hear Dave's voice I feel like I'm home.
If you're looking for fellow like minded people who've done everything you have done and... more

United Kingdom2 months ago - 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
