2 小时 0 分钟This week on Dopey! We are joined by addiction/recovery heavyweight, VP of Public Affairs at Hazlelden/Betty Ford, author of BROKEN and BROKEN OPEN - William Cope Moyers! William takes us down the long path of growing up in the limelight and succumbing to addiction - only to claw his way out becoming one of the countries most heralded speakers and writers of recovery. When dental problems struck! William had extensive surgery and got excessive oxys prescribed! Here what happens next on a very special new episode of that good old Dopey Show! PLUS! The Origin of Boofing Meth in OKC, Doing Coke in Kabul and much much more on this weeks newest DOPEY! What AI says: Dopey Nation. Dave dives headfirst into an episode so jam-packed with raw honesty, wild tales, and dark humor that your headphones might file for workers’ comp. Joining him is the legendary William Cope Moyers—author, public advocate, recovery powerhouse, and Suboxone truth-teller—to unravel the rollercoaster of addiction, redemption, and, yes, a little “dark energy” courtesy of painkillers. What’s Inside This Week’s Madness? 🚀 From Crack Houses to Betty Ford: William shares the gritty, jaw-dropping journey of addiction that landed him in a Harlem crack den (spoiler: while still rocking a tie).💊 Painkillers, Suboxone, and Stigma: How dental surgery brought the Trojan horse of addiction knocking—and why Suboxone is saving lives (including his).🎙️ Dave’s Oxy Confession: The Dopey host gets real about his recent dance with oxycodone and how recovery practices saved his ass.🎶 Nitrous and The Beatles: What happens when nitrous meets headphones and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"? (Hint: not serenity.)🔥 The Perfect Storm: Addiction, privilege, and why recovery is about more than just sobriety. Quotes to Make You Question Everything: “Painkillers are the Trojan horse of addiction—and they walk right through the gates.” “I’m raising $10 million by day and dying inside by night. Welcome to addiction in a tie.” “Nitrous didn’t make me relapse—it made me cry and rethink everything.” Dopey Milestones This Week: Fan Story of the Week: Diane gets Dopey socks for claiming she invented boofing meth—because that’s how you win at harm reduction. OG Dope Confession: Dawn’s Afghanistan coke adventure proves no passport photo is complete without pinprick pupils. William Cope Moyers Breaks Records: First guest to pull off “AA meets Suboxone advocacy” without breaking a sweat. Why You Should Listen: If you’ve ever felt like recovery is more about falling apart gracefully than staying perfect, this episode is for you. With moments of shocking candor, dark humor, and the kind of wisdom that comes only from surviving the impossible, Dave and William remind us why we fight to stay strong—one absurd, heartbreaking, and hilarious day at a time.
