Dopey 555: Hot Takes! Rich Roll Does Mushrooms and MDMA and gets deep on Dopey! Gay Stuff in Vietnam, Harm Reduction!!

🧠 Dopey Episode 555: Rich Roll Returns!

This week on Dopey I met Jeff Ross at Katz’s (he thought I’d be short and fat), go through Spotify comments!

There’s a voicemail from Tom in Oregon about trying to cop dope in Vietnam that goes very gay and sideways. Then there’s a super sweet email from Bailey in Chicago, a recovery coach who just hit five years. I also ramble about Mountainside, Oro Recovery, and Recovery Unplugged, and Recovery.com who all actually help Dopey Nation people when they’re in trouble.

Then Rich Roll comes over to my dad’s apartment. Rich literally just flew back from Japan and tells me his first dopey story about doing a guided psychedelic session in Mexico with psilocybin and MDMA. He talks about family trauma, ego, trying to find grace, love, all that spiritual shit — and somehow makes it sound cool. We talk about AA, time, identity, relapse shame, and podcasting. He’s deep and I’m just interrupting him constantly.

We also talk about music (he’s a Radiohead, R.E.M., Smiths guy — no Dead) and the state of podcasting.

All that plus more on the somewhat AI powered new edition of the good old dopey show.
