Shadow People, Hot Takes, and My Dad Calls Me a Liar or Sticky Finger's Manheim Rides Again

Dave & Chris

00:20:24

🔥 Al-Anon x Raytreon returns — and this one’s got everything: dark energy, chopped liver, family drama, and a debate about whether Dave’s dad taught him how to steal. 🗣️ Dave kicks it off late on a Monday night with: Knicks talk 🏀 A British fan letter about Katz’s and chopped liver 🇬🇧🥪 Shadow people 👻 “Hot takes” (The Bear? Overrated. Foo Fighters? World’s most successful bar band. Kids shouldn’t play with their parents at playgrounds.) Then comes the main event: Dave, his dad Alan, and Ray dive into family tension, truth vs exaggeration, and whether comedy goes too far when it hits close to home. Alan calls Dave a liar, Dave defends himself, and Ray plays peacekeeper.

Dopey 555: Hot Takes! Rich Roll Does Mushrooms and MDMA and gets deep on Dopey! Gay Stuff in Vietnam, Harm Reduction!!

<h3>🧠 <strong>Dopey Episode 555: Rich Roll Returns!</strong></h3><p>This week on Dopey I met <strong>Jeff Ross</strong> at Katz’s (he thought I’d be short and fat), go through <strong>Spotify comments!</strong></p><p>There’s a <strong>voicemail from Tom in Oregon</strong> about trying to cop dope in <strong>Vietnam</strong> that goes very gay and sideways. Then there’s a super sweet email from <strong>Bailey in Chicago</strong>, a recovery coach who just hit five years. I also ramble about <strong>Mountainside</strong>, <strong>Oro Recovery</strong>, and <strong>Recovery Unplugged</strong>, and Recovery.com who all actually help Dopey Nation people when they’re in trouble.</p><p>Then <strong>Rich Roll</strong> comes over to my dad’s apartment. Rich literally just flew back from Japan and tells me his first dopey story about doing a guided psychedelic session in Mexico with psilocybin and MDMA. He talks about family trauma, ego, trying to find grace, love, all that spiritual shit — and somehow makes it sound cool. We talk about AA, time, identity, relapse shame, and podcasting. He’s deep and I’m just interrupting him constantly.</p><p>We also talk about music (he’s a Radiohead, R.E.M., Smiths guy — no Dead) and the state of podcasting.</p><p>All that plus more on the somewhat AI powered new edition of the good old dopey show.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He talks about Scorsese’s film legacy, calling <i>Goodfellas</i> untouchable.</p><p>Dave reads a Spotify comment from Emma about a pork ad and debates if it’s anti-Semitic, then begins a new segment reading from Miles Davis’s autobiography — a vivid story about Charlie Parker pawning Miles’s belongings for heroin.</p><p>Next, longtime Dopey Nation member Selby calls in with a story about getting through TSA with weed gummies and ends with “stay strong, Dopey Nation, and fucking toodles for Chris.” Dave laughs about TSA searches, harmonicas being mistaken for weapons, and promises either to play harmonica on the road or stop traveling with it.</p><p>The teaser transitions into the Patreon preview with Ray Brown and Dave’s dad, where a discussion about politics erupts — his dad talks about kindness, empathy, immigration, and frustration with leadership.

Dopey 552: Brace Belden Returns! Molestation, Poppers, Nitrous, Heroin, Charlie Kirk and Recovery!

<p>This Week on Dopey! Dave opens with a cocaine-barroom parody and rolls into updates: DopeyCon afterglow, Spotify/iTunes comments, LA travel nerves, and sponsor shout-outs. Listener Archie checks in with a salvia-in-underwear saga; another listener writes about rock-salt shrooms and missing the Dead’s final Jerry show; “Chip” reports nearly a year sober and reflects on denial. Then <strong>Brace Belden (Truenon)</strong> sits down in Dave’s new DIY studio for a sprawling hang: meetings vs. therapy, analysis and trazodone dreams, the weird science of memory, and a brutally honest tour through sex + drugs (boofing Suboxone film, poppers, Whippets/“galaxy gas,” meth, DMT, Quaaludes, coke dick, Hunter Biden-level decadence). They spar on politics without picking teams (meetings in “Trumpy” rooms, why rhetoric isn’t the whole story), react to the Charlie Kirk assassination video, and play a relapse thought experiment (weed→benzos→opiate math vs. “new Research Chemicalss”). They close with Chrome-mags diplomacy drama, a rapid-fire “this or that,” Truenon live show plugs, and Dave’s mural/Patreon notes before the end of another edition of that good old Dopey Show!</p><h1> </h1><h1> </h1><h1> </h1><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dopey 550: The Anesthesiologist Who Shot Adrenaline and Fentanyl, Dr. Jason Giles, Hitler, Freud, Halsted, Addiction Recovery

<p>This Week on Dopey! We are joined by Oro Recovery Medical Director - Dr. Jason Giles! We also read old comments and hear from a few dopes in the dopey nation. Then Dave interviews <strong>Dr.  Giles</strong>—twice board-certified in addiction medicine (via ABAM then ABPM), previously board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, and a recovering opioid addict. He grew up in Santa Monica with a severely alcoholic father, fell into the <strong>second-wave ska/mod</strong> scene (Vespa, sharkskin suits, amphetamines), dropped out of high school, then clawed his way through community college to <strong>Berkeley</strong>, volunteering at the <strong>Berkeley Free Clinic</strong> and falling in love with medicine.</p><p>He explains anesthesia’s demands (no pain, no memory; muscle relaxants; airway control), the human connection of <strong>pediatric anesthesia</strong>, and the hope-work of <strong>pain management</strong>. In 1999, curiosity and stress led him to <strong>divert fentanyl</strong>: he edited paper records, carried a 2 mL syringe for a month, then IV-used with sterile technique. After a six-week gap he used again, convincing himself he could “handle it.” Use escalated to daily “after work,” leaving him in daytime withdrawal. The <strong>department chair paged him</strong> about missing fentanyl; instead of punishment, he offered help and a path into California’s <strong>5-year diversion program</strong> (treatment, meetings, testing). Giles detoxed <strong>cold turkey</strong>, went to AA (first meeting mostly doctors), found he wasn’t unique, and built long-term sobriety (nearly 26 years by his telling), learning service and vulnerability through treatment <strong>feedback groups</strong>.</p><p>With sobriety he finished residency, married, had a son, worked in cardiac anesthesia and pain, and then moved into <strong>addiction treatment</strong> (Malibu), where his science and lived experience met the work. He and Dave range widely: <strong>purpose/mission</strong> as a recovery engine; Bill W., boomerangs and ants; truth-serum myths; <strong>Halsted</strong> (cocaine→heroin), <strong>Freud letters</strong>, <strong>Hitler’s amphetamines/opioids</strong> (book <i>Blitzed</i>), <strong>kratom</strong> (mixed withdrawal profiles), <strong>benzos vs. opiates</strong> (benzo withdrawal = fear), <strong>intraoperative awareness & memory</strong>, <strong>Suboxone vs. abstinence</strong> (cast/training-wheels framing), fentanyl’s dominance (counterfeit pills; heroin now rare), and whether fentanyl appears in non-opioid street drugs (he says he’s seen it).

Dopey Nation Emails and Voicemails! Dopeycon News! Dopeycon themesong challenge! Santa Monica/Culver City; father a quart-a-day gin drinker; mother deeply codependent; father later sober ~35 years but “dry/angry.” Teen: ska/mod (Specials, Selecter, Untouchables, Madness), Vespa rides, alcohol/weed/amphetamines. Berkeley & Free Clinic Chose Berkeley (also accepted to MIT); Berkeley Free Clinic mentorship; lineage to Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic (David Smith; bands funded care). Purpose & “hero’s journey” framing; service as “primary purpose.” Anesthesia / pain medicine Charmed by physiology-in-real-time and the human connection (esp. parents in pediatric cases). Basics: take away pain & anxiety/memory (e.g., fentanyl, Versed); use relaxants; manage airway/complications. Favorite contrast: from tiny trigger-finger release to replacing the aortic arch. Fentanyl descent (1999) Diverted via paper logs; carried 2 mL for a month before first sterile IV use; loved the warm/relief/confidence. Waited ~6 weeks, used again; escalated to “after work only,” leading to daytime withdrawal and concealment (long gown to hide arms/weight/sweat). Experimented separately with other drawer drugs (e.g., propofol, pentothal; hates ketamine → “crumpled cellophane” feel). Sufentanil even more potent but dangerously narrow window. Intervention & recovery Chairman’s page about missing fentanyl; offered help, not punishment; referenced prior resident death. Bathtub cold-turkey detox; called a sober doctor; went to an AA meeting of doctors; felt less alone; kept going; “ultimate challenge is handling success.” Treatment feedback groups taught honest feeling-language and service; newfound congruence. Finished residency (board made it 2 years), married, child, then shift to treatment medicine in Malibu; “fish met water.” Substances & side topics Adrenaline/epinephrine: synthetic now; shooting it feels “weird/anxious.” Hitler: amphetamines + opiates (references Blitzed); late-stage junkie logic/psychosis frame. Halsted: cocaine mapping nerves → heroin maintenance, long IM use with periodic retreats; even “stable” heroin isn’t smooth. Crowley: “infinite supply” idea discussed; brain adapts—no stable bliss. Benzos vs. opiates Opiate withdrawal: nausea/diarrhea/sweats/chills/aches/runny nose/goosebumps unique to opiates. Benzo withdrawal: anxiety/fear, same feeling benzos treat → especially hard; seizures risk (Dave shares lived seizures). Memory / benzos / awareness Benzos disrupt hippocampal consolidation, but recall can still occur (e.g., intraoperative awareness with strong stimuli). Kratom Opiate-like activity; ~1/3 minimal withdrawal, ~1/3 rough as fentanyl, rest in-between (his experience). Often uses Suboxone to transition; prefers to wait/see which group before MOUD. Suboxone vs. abstinence MOUD prevents death/harms; some should stay indefinitely; for most: “cast/training wheels” until life is rebuilt + real recovery connections in place. Fentanyl now Overall OD deaths have ticked down recently from the peak, but fentanyl involvement is sky-high; he says he’s seen fentanyl in other drugs, counterfeit Percocet common; heroin is rare now. Economics: opium supply changes; fentanyl is cheap; heroin cachet remains among some.

Berkeley & Free Clinic Chose Berkeley (also accepted to MIT); Berkeley Free Clinic mentorship; lineage to Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic (David Smith; bands funded care). Purpose & “hero’s journey” framing; service as “primary purpose.” Anesthesia / pain medicine Charmed by physiology-in-real-time and the human connection (esp. parents in pediatric cases). Basics: take away pain & anxiety/memory (e.g., fentanyl, Versed); use relaxants; manage airway/complications. Favorite contrast: from tiny trigger-finger release to replacing the aortic arch. Fentanyl descent (1999) Diverted via paper logs; carried 2 mL for a month before first sterile IV use; loved the warm/relief/confidence. Waited ~6 weeks, used again; escalated to “after work only,” leading to daytime withdrawal and concealment (long gown to hide arms/weight/sweat). Experimented separately with other drawer drugs (e.g., propofol, pentothal; hates ketamine → “crumpled cellophane” feel). Sufentanil even more potent but dangerously narrow window. Intervention & recovery Chairman’s page about missing fentanyl; offered help, not punishment; referenced prior resident death. Bathtub cold-turkey detox; called a sober doctor; went to an AA meeting of doctors; felt less alone; kept going; “ultimate challenge is handling success.” Treatment feedback groups taught honest feeling-language and service; newfound congruence. Finished residency (board made it 2 years), married, child, then shift to treatment medicine in Malibu; “fish met water.” Substances & side topics Adrenaline/epinephrine: synthetic now; shooting it feels “weird/anxious.” Hitler: amphetamines + opiates (references Blitzed); late-stage junkie logic/psychosis frame. Halsted: cocaine mapping nerves → heroin maintenance, long IM use with periodic retreats; even “stable” heroin isn’t smooth. Crowley: “infinite supply” idea discussed; brain adapts—no stable bliss. Benzos vs. opiates Opiate withdrawal: nausea/diarrhea/sweats/chills/aches/runny nose/goosebumps unique to opiates. Benzo withdrawal: anxiety/fear, same feeling benzos treat → especially hard; seizures risk (Dave shares lived seizures). Memory / benzos / awareness Benzos disrupt hippocampal consolidation, but recall can still occur (e.g., intraoperative awareness with strong stimuli). Kratom Opiate-like activity; ~1/3 minimal withdrawal, ~1/3 rough as fentanyl, rest in-between (his experience). Often uses Suboxone to transition; prefers to wait/see which group before MOUD. Suboxone vs. abstinence MOUD prevents death/harms; some should stay indefinitely; for most: “cast/training wheels” until life is rebuilt + real recovery connections in place. Fentanyl now Overall OD deaths have ticked down recently from the peak, but fentanyl involvement is sky-high; he says he’s seen fentanyl in other drugs, counterfeit Percocet common; heroin is rare now. Economics: opium supply changes; fentanyl is cheap; heroin cachet remains among some.

fentanyl diversion anesthesia 1999, berkeley free clinic haight ashbury, aa doctors meeting recovery, intraoperative awareness memory, dopey podcast, benzo withdrawal fear seizures, suboxone vs abst, board certified addiction medicine, bathtub cold turkey detox, santa monica ska mod scene, dr jason giles, pediatric anesthesia pain management, kratom withdrawal suboxone, feedback group treatment honesty, anesthesiologist fentanyl addiction

Life Story & Background Grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina; now lives just on Kentucky side of Cincinnati. Teen pregnancy: became pregnant at 13; relationship with an older boyfriend (16/17) before the birth; isolated from peers; involvement in church/family tension; switched to homeschooling. Parents helped significantly; raised a child very young while also managing education. Early Substance Use & Escalation First got high with weed at 12, just before pregnancy. Also used “Triple C’s” (cough & cold medicine) in middle school. Alcohol became a major issue around 16, particularly after heartbreaks and loss of self-worth. Partied, drank heavily, had hospital stays (alcohol poisoning). Experimented with other substances (cocaine, pills, etc.) afterwards. Military / Army Period Joined Army at 17; motive was financial stability and ability to provide for her son. Trained: basic + advanced training; worked as a diesel mechanic. Saw military culture of drinking, party atmosphere; acid was used by people around her because it often didn’t show up in drug tests. Legal Issues, Crises, & Turning Points Several arrests, notably Vegas (2021) and Nashville (2024); incidents involving fighting with police, extreme intoxication, blackouts, waking in jail, etc. Bipolar disorder: suspected earlier, diagnosed at 21; used various medications but has since been unmedicated. Recognizes highs (mania) and lows (depression) and the danger of living in extremes. Social Media, Business & Life as an Influencer TikTok fame started during COVID (2020-21); posting daily life moments, mom burnout, relatable mental breakdowns. Viral moments like joking about giving baby vodka, telling her teen-pregnancy story. Run a tie-dye business called Dicey Dice, opened in 2022. Closed the store temporarily after a breakdown and sobriety; now runs pop-ups. Huge demand; sometimes long wait times. Sobriety & Recovery Had wake-up moment September 20, 2024: invited by Rachel to a sober podcast meeting (Against All Odds) unexpectedly, which triggered realization she needed to stop. After that, she has not smoked or drank. Intense physical withdrawal with weed: “couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, sweating, stomach hurt,” etc. Quitting weed harder than quitting booze in some respects. Support system: Sober Girls group chat, accountability groups, some online meetings, family help. She notes that she’s “healing, not healed.” Personal Philosophy & Who She Is Now Boundary setting: trying to say no more, protect her time, stop doing things just because people expect it of her. Honesty & vulnerability: very unfiltered person; does not hide her mess, her shame; uses that in content. Ambition for short-term goals: master her schedule, keep consistency, stay true to self over what others want. Memorable Quotes (verbatim from transcript) Here are quotes exactly as she said them (from your transcript): “I was a huge stoner … that was my whole brand for a long time.” “I have a TikTok following. And it’s like, dude, I am just like you, like stop making this weird.” “I didn’t think I had a problem until I went to jail for the second time, like March of 2024.” “I’ve been completely absent on everything since that day, September 20th, 2024.” “Quitting weed was so much harder … if I didn’t smoke every morning, I would be sick to my stomach.” “I’m healing, I’m not healed.”

Dopey 547: Fruit Roll-Ups Full of Oxys, Butt Cheeks Full of Percs, Heroin as Hash, and Finding G-d with Tzvi Heber, plus GAMBLING

THIS WEEK ON DOPEY: Tzvi identifies as a "pragmatic Jew", balancing cultural appreciation with skepticism towards organized religion. Loss of his father at a young age led to deep resentment towards God and spirituality. Tzv's journey through addiction was marked by a sense of entitlement and rebellion. Basketball served as a crucial outlet for Tzvi's emotions and taught him valuable life lessons. Community support is essential in recovery, as it fosters connection and accountability. David's experiences highlight the complexities of navigating identity and spirituality in recovery. The conversation emphasizes the importance of turning negative experiences into positive growth opportunities. Tzvi's early experiences with drugs began with casual use, evolving into a serious addiction. The role of mentorship and guidance in Tzvi's life was significant, especially in recovery. Tzvi's story illustrates the challenges of addiction and the importance of seeking help. Tzvi's fear was primarily about the smell of drugs, not the consequences. The transition from OxyContin to fentanyl has made addiction more dangerous. Detox can be a terrifying experience, especially when witnessing others' struggles. Family support plays a crucial role in the recovery journey. The therapeutic community can be both intimidating and transformative. Parenthood can bring about a profound sense of responsibility and guilt for those struggling with addiction. The shift to heroin often stems from the need to find a new dealer after losing access to pills. Hitting rock bottom can lead to a desperate search for help and recovery. Finding faith and community is essential for long-term sobriety. Humor and a personal understanding of a higher power can aid in the recovery process.

Dopey 546: Anders Osborne on a Morphine, Dilaudid, Cocaine Cocktail, Butt Cheeks Full of Perks & Bill Taylor remembers Hurricane Katrina

Another listener voicemail “Gay for Crack” tells a darkly comedic tale of hustling a guy in Baltimore who offered crack in exchange for sex.</p><p><strong>Then Anders Osborne</strong> and <strong>Bill Taylor</strong> (Trombone Shorty Foundation, The Phoenix) recount using and surviving during <strong>Hurricane Katrina</strong> — a lawless, apocalyptic New Orleans with flooded streets, National Guard, no electricity, and dealers flooding in.
