About this listen

 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.Copyright 2016 All rights reserved.

    Dopey 539: Jeannine Coulter Kicked Heroin in a Doghouse, Squatted a Cell Phone Store, and Kidnapped an old man
    Jul 11 2025

    This week on Dopey! It’s the long-awaited episode with Chasing Heroine host Jeannine Coulter, recorded live at Jeremy’s house during Dopeywood!Jeannine tells the full, raw, and very dopey story of her descent into addiction: from being a straight-A Supreme Court hopeful, to getting obsessed with exercise and binge eating, to discovering coke in a redneck bar in Georgia, all the way to living in an abandoned cell phone store in Oceanside, California smoking heroin off foil.

    Jeannine talks about doing meth that was pink, accidentally getting strung out at 30, and finding herself in a cinderblock junkie jungle gym run by tweakers. She reflects on her arrest record, her failed attempts at controlled drinking, and how it all somehow led to a decade of recovery, a podcast, and a TED Talk on post-traumatic growth.

    PLUS: a touching email from a listener who outran the cops with a trunk full of weed and somehow lived to tell the tale. A beautiful PCP voicemail and much much more on a brand new epiksode of that good ol Dopey Show!

Podcast is cleanly dope. Listening to it while withdrawals were at its peak and surprisingly helped keep me going. Toodles for Chris!

the development from Dave and Chris being rehab buddies and telling all of their using stories to Dave deciding to keep the show going after Chris's tragic death. Dopey is the realest and rawest show showing both the hilarious things we do as addicts, the tragic truth about where addiction takes us, and the possibility of happiness that comes from walking away from the only thing we ever felt made us happy. Bottom line is Dopey is real and raw.

it's the realest depiction of addiction in every extreme
