Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction — Alternative Health
Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

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.

This 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.

This week on Dopey's Greatest Hits (originally Dopey Episode 27: "Detox, Withdrawal"), where we rememberTodd (who died from a fentanyl overdose in 2018). We play Rocker-T's "One More" from the 1998 album Nicer By The Hour, read listener comments/emails (including a wild intervention story from "Alex" involving his mom overdosing during his own intervention).

Then we play Dopey classic epidoe 27! Where me, Chris and graphic design Ryan are about to do an episode when out of the blue Todd calls in, freshly busted while trying to get 'weed'.We talk a bunch of shit about community service, arrests, weed, drugs and dumb shit. Then Ryan attempts to coachTodd toward AA/yoga/abstinence, and tells him 'not to die' in a tragicly terrifyingly sad moment.

All that and more on this weeks replay of probably my favorite episode of that good old dopey show.

Selling Sunset's Sandra Vergara's Wild Psychedelic Journey from Booze to Mushrooms to Virtual Reality Ketamine Madness to Kabbalah Healing and Recovery! Miles Davis Coke Paranoia Madness on Dopey! Jan 28, 2026

This Week on The Wednesday Dose of Dopey!

Dave kicks off this Wednesday Dose solo from his dad's house, riffing on nostalgic broke-addict snacks (Little Debbie oatmeal pies as cheap highs) and weird fridge finds, before diving into fan Spotify comments praising last week's emotional Erin Khar episode. He shares wild Miles Davis coke-paranoia excerpts from the autobiography (Ferrari abandonment, trash-room hiding, dealer tricks), and recommending Kind of Blue and In a Silent Way as sick sick records!

Then we welcome Sandra Vergara (Selling Sunset star, Sofia Vergara's cousin/sister-figure). Sandra opens up about a traumatic Colombian childhood: brother's murder at age 9, raised by an aunt after her bio-mom's brain damage left her mentally stuck at 12, feeling like a "burden," early glue-sniffing experiment, near-fatal ruptured appendix/septic shock at 16, and constant walking-on-eggshells survival via art, empathy, and never taking abuse personally.

In LA from 18, she dabbled in makeup/acting (Fright Night), when she began drinking heavy. Blackouts, self-harm (throwing herself through glass), and suicide ideation. followed. First rehab in Medellín (befriended staff for special treatment → false security). Post-rehab: mushrooms sparked a "psychedelic love" fling, ayahuasca faced childhood trauma head-on, but led to half-assed AA and relapses.

COVID alone-time in NYC brought painting growth, but cat Stewie's death (worse than losing family) plunged her into deep depression. Enter ketamine: started therapeutic (Mindbloom) but escalated to daily K-holes with Oculus VR for near-death/grief escapes, addictive Journey Circle weekends (MDMA/ayahuasca/mushrooms group catharsis without integration), erratic calls to mom, club blackouts, and cousin finding her passed out. Family intervention (Sophia pays, nephew packs her) lands her in trauma-focused Breathe Life rehab.

She firmly rejects "California sober" as a trap—psychedelics delayed real surrender for her; true addicts can't substitute one mind-alter for another. Full AA commitment (no more a la carte) + Kabbalah (post-breakup desperation) changed everything: tikkun (soul correction via tough life choices), turning reactive impulses (anger/gossip) into proactive restriction, daily study/meditation for frequency shifts. Ties Kabbalah to quantum physics (observer effect = perception shapes reality, entanglement = we're all connected, certainty in the unknown = surrender).

Sandra discusses Selling Sunset challenges (producer manipulation, ego, glamour vs. spiritual presence) and her new neuroscience/IFS/Kabbalah coaching for holistic recovery (mind stories, body regulation, spirit alignment). All that and much more on the brand new episode of that good old dopey show!

Show notes

Listen without ads on www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast

This week on the total replay - Chris tells the depths of his SMI - maybe the first time we discussed SMI - and Chris' reluctance to accepting the SMI mantle. This is what he wrote 10 years ago: 'Chris intentionally flips out in the psych ward to get put into a 5 point restraint... and receive an injection of Ativan and Haldol. Also, he is treated by Bob Forrest and Dr. Drew.'

First though Chris makes fun of my fish tank. We had such a good time. I cooked brusell sprouts and so much more! such a good time!

We miss and love you Chris!
