Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction
Dave & ChrisDopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit.

- Don’t get demonetized 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

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.

I found this podcast from the Billy Strings interview and at the time I was deep in the depths of my opiate addiction. I am now 2 months clean from all substances and so thankful for the companionship of Chris and Dave during my rehab stint. I’ll write an email soon and TOOOODLEES for Chris!
