What this episode covers

This week on Dopey! From methadone in Manhattan to 20 million views on TikTok, Ian Martin aka @ImmaEatThis sits down with Dave to tell his insane, deeply New York junky-to-food-influencer story. Ian talks about growing up on the Upper West Side, getting into private school via the UN, and how heartbreak, Vicodin, and a crooked doctor launched him into a full-blown Oxy addiction. From snorting pills in the Staten Island ferry bathroom to overdosing on heroin in his apartment, Ian shares it all—including dealer BBQs, screaming matches with roommates, and insane benzo blackout stories. Dave and Ian compare notes on NYC methadone clinics, dumb excuses, painful amends, and the surreal highs of going viral after years of getting high in the dark. They also talk recovery, AA, social media addiction, and reconnecting with life and family. Plus: Dopey Nation emails, a beautiful birthday duet with Dave and Susan, and lots more dumb shit from the Dopeysphere. www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast
