On this week’s Wednesday Dose of Dopey! Tim Ryan and Jennifer Gimenez. Jen talks Blow, their friendship with George Jung, and helping Andy Dick get sober. Tim tells the brutal story of losing his son, working interventions, and why he thinks the recovery industry is full of bullshit. We also get into Kratom, harm reduction, fentanyl, and why recovery is life or death. Plus listener stories, Spotify comments, and lots of Dopey Nation love.

PLUS MUCH MORE ON the wednesday DOPEY!

FULL DOUG SHOW: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast

This week on the teaser, I’m sitting at the dining room table with Heart Attack Doug talking about Crosstalk Larry’s funeral, the insane number of people who showed up, and the weirdest thing ever — a giant aquarium full of birds at the funeral home. We also get into Susan’s new 3D printer, my horrible track record with pets (including a blind goldfish that’s somehow still alive), Doug’s eBay guitar hustle, and Facebook banning a listener for listing his drugs of choice. Plus MORE!

This week on the Total Dopey Replay we go way back to Episode 17 with the great Joe Schrank. Me, Chris and Joe get into addiction policy, sober living, relapse, harm reduction, AA, and whether Dopey is actually bad for the recovery community. It gets smart, stupid, and very old school Dopey. Plus Joe tells an all-time disgusting story about getting hammered at USC and puking Cajun curly fries all over some poor girl. If you like early Dopey with me and Chris figuring it out in real time, this is a good one.

JAMIE COMES ON ABOUT 30 Minutes in!

This week on Dopey! Jamie Lee Turner is BACK! And so is JEREMY TURNER! We read emails, play a crazy whale watching tripping voicemail, a kicking kratom email and then we get to the amazing and fabulous Jamie Lee Curtis!

Jamie brings the recovery!  Her awakening, daily routine (3 daily readings + 3 gratitudes/fears/attribute texts to chains), defects (people-pleasing/fawning/fear/confrontation avoidance), agency from sobriety, ideas/production success (Scarpetta series with Nicole Kidman, Blumhouse deal, Mother Nature eco-horror). She praises Dopey as profound/Nobel-level work, critiques self-deprecation as humiliation (Hannah Gadsby quote), and shares Bear role insights (Donna's sobriety arc). She was super great!

Jeremy Turner (Oregon by way of Louisiana) calls in: meth mites (not mental, from gorse plant?), recent DUI/car tow in Vegas, heavy drinking relapse after 8 sober months, current meth use (snorting/smoking, no shooting), new Long Island sponsor "on break," job painting, girlfriend losing hope, fentanyl panic after intentional test puff, desire for abstinence but chasing tail cycle. Dave urges sleep, sponsor reconnection, Dopey Zoom check-ins.

ALL THAT AND MORE
