Episode description:
This week on Dopey Tuesday! Dave comes down from DopeyCon with strange feelings, a meeting, and an EMDR session that nearly puts him to sleep. Trinity wins the Theme Song Challenge by just four votes, and a longtime listener asks whether the Kevin O’Leary interview means Dopey has officially jumped the shark. Dave reads the letter and answers the question of who gets to decide what belongs on the show.
PLUS: Cheryl celebrates one year sober with an absolutely insane voicemail: three car accidents in roughly two weeks, a totaled Miata with her 85-year-old grandfather inside, a condemned house with rats crawling over her, a blackout hit-and-run, and a crash through three fences into a prison yard. Somehow, she survives it all—and today she’s sober.
Then Steely Dave writes about surviving three fentanyl overdoses in 24 hours, including one in a Georgia jail cell, and the four years on Suboxone that he says saved his life. Dave also gets into AI thumbnail complaints, new Dopey beanies, and a thank-you to Transitions in Kentucky.
Finally, returning guest Peter Rosenberg opens up about divorce, fatherhood, sex addiction, and the constant search for validation. Dave recognizes something familiar in Peter’s story—and asks him to lay it all out.
