It features Dave, Chris, and graphic-design Ryan — the guy who made the original Dopey logo — talking through old Lower East Side drug energy, the first major Dopey fan emails, weird ego stuff, drug stories, recovery, Rob Reiner, Nick Reiner, and a whole lot of eerie foreshadowing. Dave reflects on how painful it is to hear Chris again, knowing he died in 2018, and uses the episode to make a simple but brutal point: if Chris had stayed in recovery, he probably wouldn’t have died. The replay itself is classic early Dopey: messy, funny, dark, uncomfortable, and weirdly prophetic. Ryan tells a story about refusing to leave a drug pickup even after a guy puts a gun to his head. Chris talks about addiction, genetics, rats drinking heroin water, and recovery. Dylan randomly calls in right as Dave is talking about Dylan from 90210, which feels like Dopey synchronicity. The episode also includes the first big fan email from Tina in Philadelphia, Dave getting wounded by being called “Dan,” and a long, now-haunting conversation about Rob Reiner and Nick Reiner before Nick ever appeared on Dopey. It’s funny, painful, and very Dopey. PLUS Drugs, addiction and dumb shit on the new/old 10 year anniversary of this episode!(of Dopey)   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
