🔥 New Dopey! 🔥
This week, we dive deep into one of the craziest Dopey stories yet with Jimmy, a next-level meth-addicted criminal mastermind turned sober success story. If you’ve ever wondered what true tweaker madness looks like, buckle up—this one’s a ride.
👀 Here’s just some of the shit Jimmy did while completely spun out:
Masterminded insane receipt scams to fund his habit 💰Pulled off full-on grand theft—boosting designer sunglasses, Levi’s, and even a bike in under 30 minutes at the mall 🚲Got a meth kingpin to take him under his wing—until the guy went on the run and got locked up for life 🔫Got so spun out his own parents got a restraining order against him for robbing them 😵💫Squatted in a trap house with his best friend, his pregnant girlfriend… and the girlfriend’s mom 🏚️Started hooking up with the mom while still living in the house, like a true tweaker love story gone wrong 😳Got arrested at least 30 times—with 9 warrants at the time of his final bust 🚔Had a bag of meth stuffed in his underwear during a police search… and miraculously got away with it 🫠💥 But here’s the twist: after 13 years of destruction, Jimmy somehow turned it all around. No program, no 12 steps—just sheer force of will, an insane work ethic, and an obsession with self-improvement. Now? He owns a house, makes good money, and has a whole new life.
We talk meth, addiction, crime, prison, the power of discipline, and the weird guilt that comes with success after being such a disaster.
🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

🚨 NEW DOPEY EPISODE ALERT! 🚨
This week, we’re joined by Jason Cabello from Recovery Unplugged, who takes us on a wild ride through his days of addiction, scumbag hustles, and eventual redemption.
From running the ultimate supermarket receipt scam to drinking wine straight from the freezer section, Jason did whatever it took to stay high. Ripping off poor Lester with macadamia nuts and Ambesol? Check. Shooting crack broken down with balsamic vinegar? Yup. Home Depot boosting crew? Of course. Overdosing in Trenton and waking up to Narcan? Been there. And then—somehow—he found his way to Recovery Unplugged, where music and community helped him build a new life.
📞 VOICEMAIL PREVIEW: This week, a Dopey listener calls in with a genius idea: bringing coke on a bridal trip. What could go wrong? Find out!
💘 DOPEY LOVE DATE - 3/11! 💘

🎛️ Roadcaster Rants: Shoutout to Karina Fleming and the Dopey Nation for upgrading the show’s gear back in the day, but WHY does this machine have soft power buttons and random sound pad triggers? (Seriously, WHY?)
🕊️ Spiritual Recharging: Ever feel like your batteries are dead, but you still have to power through? Dave reflects on spirituality, asking the universe for help, and feeling like God might be... a scam? But hey, sometimes a quick prayer does the trick.
💔 Dopey Love + DopeyCon Updates: Mark your calendars—Dopey Love is coming to Joe’s Pub on March 11th, featuring Margaret Cho and Dr. Nzinga Harrison. Tickets are on sale now at joespub.com. Come through!

Dave kicks off the final Dopey episode of the year with a bang (and maybe a groan). No heartfelt resolutions here—just raw reflections on why 2024 sucked, what 2025 might bring, and how sugar is basically his drug of choice now. Oh, and there’s a surprise guest: fitness trainer Doug Bopst, called mid-recording to unpack why Dave’s obsessed with Chick-fil-A and why New Year’s resolutions are mostly BS.
But first, the real deal: Hamilton Morris, the chemist and documentarian behind Hamilton’s Pharmacopoeia, drops in to talk about everything from the chemistry of salvia to the ethics of harm reduction. It’s science, chaos, and comedy rolled into one unforgettable episode.
Highlights:
Hamilton Morris Takes Us to School 🧠💊:The Psychedelic Frontier:
Hamilton explains why psychedelics aren’t just “drugs” but tools for exploring consciousness.How can they fit into harm reduction? And what about people in recovery?Salvia, DMT, and the Bizarre:

Dave surprises Doug mid-recording to grill him about sugar addiction, fitness tips, and why Chick-fil-A is apparently Christian food.Doug suggests cutting out processed foods and prioritizing protein—Dave suggests doubling down on frosted mini-wheats with chocolate syrup.Sugar, Dopamine, and Decompression:
Why Dave binges chocolate at night while watching Knicks games.Doug’s take on dopamine, cravings, and why recovery is all about consistency.The Dopey Fitness Challenge:
Dave vows to run a Couch-to-5K… maybe. Doug advises him to take it one step at a time.“It’s not about losing 30 pounds in two weeks, Dave.”Listener Love 🎶:Jake’s Banjo Cover:West Virginia listener Jake delivers a raw, soulful banjo rendition of Dave’s song with an original third verse about surviving hard times.It’s shaky, heartfelt, and the perfect way to end the episode.Featured Guests:
