Show notes
NOTE: I forgot to mention it was first Chris’s ‘hooping the shooter’ mention - and i ate expired cereal during the whole show - and it was pretty gross.
This week on the total replay! Dave opens the Monday replay talking about bringing his daughters into Manhattan for a museum day, taking them to the Met, walking through the city, and feeling grateful to be sober enough to do it. He also talks about how exhausting it is carrying recording gear back and forth to the city every week.
He plays a voicemail from a listener who mixed kratom with alcohol after losing weight and wound up diving through a window, running through a retirement community covered in blood, and waking up in the hospital. Dave reads an email from another listener who got sober after prison, reunited with his son, and says Dopey helped him along the way.
The replay itself is an early Dopey episode with Dave and Chris talking in the old apartment setup. They joke about expired cereal, cigarettes in the room, Disney World feeling like rehab, and old-school research chemicals. Dave tells a long Katz’s story about upsetting customers, finding a lump in his neck, and then freaking out after hearing a woman at a meeting say her cancer started the same way.
The episode also includes an email from a guy deep into dissociatives and psychedelic research chemicals, plus more classic early Dopey energy between Dave and Chris. At the end, Dave reflects on how raw and alive the old episodes felt, and points out that this was also an early appearance of the kind of material that would later become part of Cormac’s role in the Dopey world.
All that and MORE - on a brand new, super old classic episode of dopey!
