Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug AddictionAuthor: Dave & Chris
Dopey Podcast is the worlds 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.

Dopey 569: We Robbed Houses, Used Sugar Daddies & Filmed Ourselves Shooting Heroin… for Dr. Phil, The Amanda Crossley Show!
Episode 694
Friday, 6 February, 2026
Show without Ads on Patreon:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! We get a flood of enthusiastic Spotify comments about a previous Jed Payne episode! We hear a listener voicemail on getting a pickline and reads an email from a listener in Michigan who rebuilt their life after heavy meth/heroin use. The main interview is with Amanda Crossley (from the Sober Girls group chat), who shares a raw, detailed story of her descent into opioid addiction: stealing massive amounts from her pharmacy job, transitioning to IV heroin in Camden NJ, robbing houses as a getaway driver, sugar-daddy arrangements with much older men, family chaos with her two addicted sisters, and ultimately writing to Dr. Phil herself at 23. The 2014 Dr. Phil episode (filmed while high) led to treatment, and she's been sober since early 2015 (now ~11 years). We close with our NEVER RELEASED 1999 EP from our band The Ulti Scrub Hustle: If I'm Not Home(I'm out Walkin Around), Girl of Mine and (I wanna be) Good So Bad.
