Tuesday Teaser : Dopey Nation Heroin and Mushroom Beach Nightmare Turns into beautiful moment of gratitude - plus grief
from Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction · host Dave & Chris
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis Week on Dopey Tuesday! Dave opens with a raw, heartfelt intro reflecting on grief after Linda’s dad Tony’s recent passing — how it hits the whole family in unpredictable ways, amps up his worry, and pushes him to double down on recovery (morning meditation, Step 12 with his sponsor, and gratitude work). He shares a beautiful listener email from Kyle, a former heroin/crack/meth addict who found spiritual connection through a wild shroom + heroin beach trip, years of struggle, and a sober Grateful Dead moment listening to “Broke Down Palace” by the river — reminding Dave of his own Mountainside harmonies with Chris and Linda. Dave calls it “perfect” and emotional, awarding Kyle socks and relating deeply to the “hippie dippy” universal energy. He then dives into Spotify/Patreon comments on last week’s Ray Brown episode, plus the ongoing Zoe voicemail drama (some love her chaos, most roast her, Dave teases playing both voicemails next week). The episode wraps with a fun, chaotic clip of Dave, Cormac, and Selby (Asmatic Selby) bantering about early mornings, recovery day counts (Selby at 73 days!), Selby’s winter break dad fails (Santa screw-ups), and a plug for the full Patreon Reddit roundup.
