January 20
28 mins

Episode Description

00:00 – 01:00 Intro rap/teaser hook: "Does Dopey Nation need another Show?" → Drugs, addiction, dumb shit, "it's all they know, they love the show." Welcomes to Dopey Tuesday.
01:00 – 01:32 Repetitive "dopey dopey…" chant + random "Chow Chow" shout.
01:32 – 04:07 Greeting & intro to Heart Attack Doug outside the house. Eulogizing the dying 2010 Subaru Outback (209k miles). Family hand-me-down story from Dave's dad → two Subarus, wife’s stickers ("nobody owns the land", Make America Grateful Again, etc.). Doug shadow-banned/shadow-kicked-off vibe.
04:07 – 06:20 Mechanic drama: $1,138 repair rip-off → Dave in pajamas/slippers confronts 60-year-old lady at shop, threatens court, gets full refund after yelling scene. Mechanic named Efrom from Brazil.
06:20 – 08:46 Subaru love story: $600 aftermarket stereo install 7 years ago (Spotify/maps screen). Dave hated stickers but liked some (Make America Grateful Again, Moab). Joke about wife’s Viking heritage & land ownership.
08:46 – 11:11 Doug’s 2025 resolution: "The Year of Heart Attack Doug" – guitar business, physical/mental health grind. Plays Doug’s angry voicemail rehearsals → trash-talking show numbers down 95–96%, mentions Ray Brown & Dave’s dad.
11:11 – 13:23 Doug’s Trumpy voicemail style joke. Dopey Zoom lore: Melanie (Facebook admin) picked Doug over Ray Brown & Dave’s dad in informal poll. Doug claims "the Zoom voted for me."
13:23 – 15:46 Dave refuses real poll on Patreon. Reads last week’s Spotify comments (praise for no-Doug episode, likable Dave on Soft White Underbelly, A. Weller asks for lasagna recipe).
15:46 – 17:59 Dave shares simple lasagna recipe (ground meat, Rao’s sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, layers – bakes at 385°F). Sean’s question on Step 12 sponsorship process.
17:59 – 20:18 Doug’s Step 12 style (Big Book + 12&12). Dave’s method: read 12&12 Step 12, refer to Big Book. Gratitude requires work/effort. Spiritual talk: God/universe, "God is a scam" joke but Dave’s God = everything/reality.
20:18 – 22:42 Big Book ending quote read aloud ("trudge the road of happy destiny…"). Chills from fellowship & love/tolerance message. Dave’s childhood view of punishing God vs. loving/universe rooting for strugglers.
22:42 – 24:55 Linda mystery exit with dog. Dave’s father-in-law celebration-of-life tribute reading. Doug skipped because "too personal/family."
24:55 – end Patreon plug (www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast). Sign-off: "stay strong my brothers and sisters in and out of recovery."
