Tuesday Teaser: Raytreon! Crackheads Burned Down Chelsea! Heavy Breathing! Luxury Projects! Recovery!
from Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction · host Dave & Chris
LISTEN TO THE WHOLE WONDERFUL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dave and Ray kick off a weird “Christmas in May” Dopey Tuesday with an old Ray parody song before diving into stories about Chelsea in the ‘90s, addiction nostalgia, Andy Dick, and the destruction of a longtime neighborhood building. Dave talks about working on a Andy Dick interview for Rolling Stone, while Ray reflects on drinking alone, avoiding chaos in public, and their old neighborhood’s transformation from rough-and-dangerous to luxury real estate heaven. The episode spirals into hilarious listener reactions to Selby’s heavy breathing during the Patreon Reddit Roundup episode, with fans comparing him to Darth Vader, a dying pug, and someone “pleasuring himself at a men’s shelter.” Dave and Ray also talk about recovery shame, missing teeth, NYU dental clinics, old LA drug days, soft-core SLA emails, and the weirdness of getting older in recovery. The episode ends with Dave teasing a big TV pitch meeting and playing “Good So Bad.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
