About Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction
Dopey 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 fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.

Three Car Wrecks, a Prison Yard & “Dopey Is Not Your Show” — Peter Rosenberg on Validation | Dopey Tuesday
Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] I am currently on Medicaid-assisted treatment and take Suboxone, and it has literally saved my life. I've been on subs the entire four years of my clean time, and never have I ever, not even once, abused them or any other opiate. I'm very proud of the man I'm becoming and can say with certainty that that dopey has played a role in that. My life is not perfect, but I have a beautiful, loving wife and friends and family that keep me going. I have thousands of crazy dopey stories and would love to call in to tell you one or a few sometime. Yeah, you should do that. I got this email a while ago, so that's probably why he never followed up. […]
