🧠Dopey Episode 555: Rich Roll Returns!
This week on Dopey!
This week starts off with me at home, losing my mind. Linda’s at Nora’s swim meet, Susan’s sick, I’m cooking dinner and reading Marcus Aurelius texts from Dr. Giles like I’m suddenly in Gladiator. I talk about meeting Jeff Ross at Katz’s (he thought I’d be short and fat), read a bunch of Spotify comments, eat ice cream, complain about my dental implants, and shout out everyone who still leaves reviews for my dad.
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 this wild story about doing a guided psychedelic session in Mexico with psilocybin and MDMA. The dude never did drugs before. 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, no Floyd, no fun) and how podcasting is now just people chasing viral clips. He says he’s in it for the relationships, and I actually believe him.
All that plus more on the somewhat AI powered new edition of the good old dopey show.
