He shares wild Miles Davis coke-paranoia excerpts from the autobiography (Ferrari abandonment, trash-room hiding, dealer tricks), and recommending Kind of Blue and In a Silent Way as sick sick records!Then we welcome Sandra Vergara (Selling Sunset star, Sofia Vergara's cousin/sister-figure). Sandra opens up about a traumatic Colombian childhood: brother's murder at age 9, raised by an aunt after her bio-mom's brain damage left her mentally stuck at 12, feeling like a "burden," early glue-sniffing experiment, near-fatal ruptured appendix/septic shock at 16, and constant walking-on-eggshells survival via art, empathy, and never taking abuse personally.In LA from 18, she dabbled in makeup/acting (Fright Night), when she began drinking heavy.

Rob and Michele Reiner did everything right. They showed up to every therapy session. They paid for eighteen rehab stays. They hired private instructors and family therapists. They let their troubled son live in their guesthouse even after he destroyed it—multiple times. And on December 14, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son Nick, 32, was arrested that night and now faces two counts of first-degree murder.Today on True Crime Today, we break down the troubling history of Nick Reiner—the entitled Hollywood son whose struggles with addiction and mental illness were met with endless resources and zero consequences. A 2009 rehab roommate tells the Daily Mail that Nick was "a fucking pompous little punk" who constantly ranted about hating his parents—the same parents who attended every family session while other wealthy families sent nannies.We examine Nick's own admissions on the Dopey podcast: destroying property with "no logic," stealing OxyContin from sick elderly people, and getting high during the press tour for Being Charlie—a film about his recovery that his father directed. We look at the 2020 mental health conservatorship, the reported medication change weeks before the killings, and the disturbing scene at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party where guests say Nick was "freaking everyone out" just hours before his parents' deaths.This is the story the headlines won't tell you.

By the time Nick Reiner was fifteen, he'd already learned a dangerous lesson: there is no bottom, because someone will always catch you. His parents—legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner—spent decades trying to save their troubled son. Eighteen rehab stints. Private wellness instructors. Family therapy. A guesthouse on their $13.5 million Brentwood estate that sources say he destroyed multiple times and they kept repairing.On December 14, 2025, Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death. Nick was arrested that night.In this Hidden Killers deep dive, we examine who Nick Reiner really was—not the redemption story from the 2015 film Being Charlie, but the darker reality hidden behind Hollywood privilege. A rehab roommate describes him as "a fucking pompous little punk" with "no sense of gratitude." A family yoga instructor recalls childhood tantrums so intense she'd "never seen a child like it." And Nick himself, on the Dopey podcast, admitted to destroying property with "no logic" and stealing medication from the elderly.We trace the path from entitled child to alleged killer—through a 2020 mental health conservatorship, a reported medication change weeks before the murders, and a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house where multiple guests saw a man in crisis and no one called 911. This is a story about what happens when money can't buy accountability and love becomes enabling.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #HollywoodMurder #ReinerMurder #Parricide #Addiction #MentalHealthJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Listen without ads on www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on the total replay - Chris tells the depths of his SMI - maybe the first time we discussed SMI - and Chris' reluctance to accepting the SMI mantle. This is what he wrote 10 years ago: 'Chris intentionally flips out in the psych ward to get put into a 5 point restraint... and receive an injection of Ativan and Haldol. Also, he is treated by Bob Forrest and Dr. Drew.' First though Chris makes fun of my fish tank. We had such a good time. I cooked brusell sprouts and so much more! such a good time! We miss and love you Chris!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey's Greatest Hits!This replay episode features host David Manheim reflecting on personal chaos, gratitude amid frustration, powerful listener emails/stories (including a harrowing crack/coke seizure tale from Minnesota Matt), and a full classic interview with his partner Linda. They share their raw, unfiltered relationship story—from meeting via mutual friend Todd, early partying (coke, Ativan, drinking), pregnancy amid hidden heroin relapse, family destruction during active addiction, separation, supervised visitations, Dave's bottoming out, eventual sobriety, reconciliation, and rebuilding a family with two kids. Interspersed with intros, emails, Spotify comments, voicemails, and musical interludes (Firecracker rap, song snippets), it captures Dopey's signature mix of dark humor, brutal honesty, recovery insights, and "dumb shit" war stories.The episode opens with Dave navigating recent frustrations—dealing with a guest pulling an episode due to cold feet, sponsor issues, and everyday life stressors—while emphasizing core recovery principles like acceptance, gratitude, and service over resentment. He reflects on childhood influences like Popeye's "I am what I am" mantra as a metaphor for self-acceptance in sobriety, and teases upcoming substantive guests while reading heartfelt (and critical) listener feedback. The heart of the show is the replay of a classic episode featuring Dave and Linda's candid conversation, detailing the highs and lows of their relationship: from initial attraction and drug-fueled early days, through the pregnancy discovery and Dave's escalating heroin use (including nodding out during birthing classes and missing key moments post-birth), to the devastating confrontation when Linda discovered the paraphernalia and the subsequent separation.The story doesn't shy away from the pain—Linda's isolation during a complicated delivery, Dave's rock-bottom spiral involving heavy daily use, arrests, and black eyes during supervised visits with their daughter Nora—but it ultimately lands on hope and redemption. Dave credits their daughter as a major motivator for sobriety, and the couple discusses the hard work of rebuilding trust, family life, and even welcoming a second child. Reflections on the losses of close friends Todd and Chris add emotional weight, underscoring how addiction's toll extends beyond the individual.

Listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on the Monday Complete Dopey Replay! Dave kicks off the brand-new weekly series reliving the classic early episodes with Chris (starting from the beginning after lost tapes 6, 8, 10 & 12), reflecting on 10 years since Dopey launched in 2016, the frozen-in-time joy of hearing Chris's voice again, and how the show was born from two rehab friends laughing over insane drug stories. He's still riding the emotional wave from Linda's father Tony's beautiful celebration of life, got his $1,100 car repair money back after a pajama-rage showdown, and begs for any surviving lost Dopey episodes (6, 8, 10, 12) with a reward offered.New format twist: Mondays = full chronological Chris-era replays, Thursdays = Greatest Hits. Dave reads grateful/complaining listener emails (send yours: one thing you hate + one thing you're grateful for), plays Haley's legendary nitrous-at-the-dentist voicemail (huffing until she thinks she's “retarded,” crying then laughing while clapping, pure Dopey chaos), and dives into the Episode 5 replay: “Skiing Drunk, Broken Neck, TBI, Jail, and…” — Chris recounts his teenage subdural hematoma from a blackout ski crash (tuna & grape juice vomit fountain, spinal fractures, spleen rupture), court-ordered stay at a traumatic brain injury facility (diaper-wearing roommate flooding the kitchen with Apple Jacks & milk, another nonstop-talking Deadhead/skinhead roommate), sneaking out to shoot crystal meth, watching porn together, and the infamous “let me suck your dick” moment that ends the story in glorious, unfiltered Dopey style.ALL THAT PLUS EMAILS AND VOICEMAILS on a super classic episode of Dopey.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this engaging conversation, Shelby and Courtney chat with runDisney lover Meghan Swope about her journey into running, particularly her experiences with completing her second Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World. They discuss the challenges of running in extreme weather (Florida sun!!), the importance of training, and the sense of community that comes with participating in races. Meghan shares her motivations for running, the significance of medals, and how her goals have evolved over time. The conversation highlights the joy and camaraderie found in the runDisney community, making it an inspiring listen for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike. In this conversation, Meghan Swope shares her journey through marathon training, emphasizing the discipline required and the balance between social life and running. She discusses her philosophy on training distances, the mental barriers runners face, and her experiences in international marathons. Meghan highlights the importance of community and support in achieving personal goals, encouraging others to embrace challenges and find their own paths in running and life.   Takeaways Meghan started running in 2012 after a bad breakup. The Dopey challenge includes running multiple races over a weekend. Extreme weather can significantly impact race conditions and outcomes. Training is crucial for building endurance and mental strength. Running events create a sense of community and celebration. Medals serve as tangible rewards for hard work and achievement. Motivation can fluctuate during training and races. The camaraderie among runners enhances the experience. Completing a race is a significant accomplishment, regardless of distance. Future goals can evolve based on experiences and themes of races. New York was the most disciplined I've ever been with training. I don't think you should ever go above 20 miles in training. Tapering is crucial before a marathon. Training for a marathon is like a part-time job. You have to commit to your training schedule. You can shift your long runs around social events. You hold yourself back more than circumstances do. Meeting new people during races can lead to great friendships. Fueling strategies can vary by country. It's important to enjoy the journey and the community.

Listen Ad Free! at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! Dave powers through a music-heavy, emotional episode amid ongoing family grief (Tony's celebration of life tomorrow), delivering sober birthday shoutouts (Jennifer Jimenez 20 years, Janine Coulter 11 years), sponsor love, listener stories, and a historic, in-depth interview with James Frey—his first-ever detailed on-record discussion of pre-sobriety life. Dave opens with a raw acoustic snippet (“Trying to score from the plug today…”), reflects on fame/pressure, plugs sponsors (Oro Recovery, Mountainside, Link Diagnostics, Recovery Unplugged, Orchard on the Brazos), and shares powerful listener submissions: Taylor's 7-OH update (detox → AMA → relapse → QuickMD Suboxone taper + comedy struggles), Oscar (Sweden) on opioid progression to stable methadone, and an anonymous blackout chef tale (insane midnight meals with zero memory, kitchen disasters, one epic hookup dinner).The centerpiece is James Frey's unfiltered hour-plus conversation: childhood rage (ear infections/surgeries → early drinking/fighting), teenage rebellion (“White Boy James” in Benton Harbor bars), college coke dealing, Paris wild years, crack-fueled North Carolina descent, brutal Hazelden wake-up (face destroyed at 23), and Taoism as his lifelong sobriety anchor (meditation, renunciation, balance over 12-step dogma). He details writing A Million Little Pieces (addict rhythm, artistic defiance, no quotation marks), the explosive Oprah-fueled fame/backlash (“punk outlaw” pedestal → villain), and ongoing battles (suicidal ideation, rage, hockey fights). ALL THAT and MORE MORE MORE on this weeks super fucking robust episode of that good old dopey show. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS AT www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on the CLASSIC Thursday REPLAY!Dave opens with life updates amid heavy grief: prepping for the celebration of life for his father-in-law (Linda's dad), the car overheating again (mechanic drama continues), and a heartfelt decision to replay a classic “Al-Anon-ic Dopey in the family” episode with his mother-in-law, Sue—the one he calls one of the greatest ever recorded. He reflects on how addiction stories feel triumphant for the addict but painful for the “casualties” (family), shares listener comments on recent replays (including wild rehab tales from Florida), plugs stickers for Spotify comments/reviews, and reads touching emails: Wendy's condolences + 2-year sober shoutout to Jennifer N (synchronous on Jan 15!), plus her powerful insight on coming clean about kratom/7-OH in AA and discovering others struggling too. Another email from Charlie teases the upcoming kratom documentary “Kratom Side Effects May Include” (screening MLK weekend in NYC) and the dangers of potent 7-OH isolates.The heart of the episode is the full replay of Dave's emotional, cathartic sit-down with Sue (recorded years ago during COVID era), covering their rocky first impressions, Dave's early heroin relapse after Nora's birth, the terrifying custody battles, supervised visits, court drama (Dave showing up high), financial/legal stress, Linda moving back home with Nora for years, Dave's gradual recovery journey (18 months clean, then true sobriety), rebuilding trust, and the family's hope that Dave/Linda/Nora could become a unit. Sue shares her perspective as a non-drug-experienced, straight-laced mom/grandma—initial denial, sadness, anger, eventual admiration for Dave's hard-won sobriety, and deep gratitude for how he became a devoted father/provider. They laugh about Sue's cookie-stealing, ping-pong lies (she still claims she won!), competitive games, and family adventures gone wrong (like losing Nora/Sue at Gray Fox festival). Ends on hope, surrender, and advice for families: prioritize the grandchild, understand addiction as a disease, hang in there—there's light at the end (though not always a happy one). Dave closes with love for Sue, reflections on mortality/family. All that and more on a tough loving, good timey hard episode of that good ol dopey show.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey! Dave kicks off an intensely emotional episode amid personal chaos—grieving Linda's dad's death, a bizarre Verizon outage conspiracy vibe, a $1,100 car repair scam, and a half-hearted gratitude meditation to stay grounded. He reads glowing listener comments on the recent Sid Vicious/Ned Van Zandt heroin epic, plugs stickers for Spotify/iTunes reviews, and shares a powerful email from Sarah E. about her ongoing brutal struggle with 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) dependence after accidents and kratom escalation, highlighting deception, severe withdrawals, and the "master of deception" label despite a strong sober community.The core is a raw, heartfelt interview with returning guest Erin Khar (author of Strung Out, unlicensed advice columnist), who opens up about her recent diagnosis of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) / chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—a slow-growing, incurable non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma discovered via routine mammogram/biopsy around Labor Day. Erin details the terrifying pathology call, symptoms (years of unexplained fatigue, anemia, frequent illnesses), watch-and-wait monitoring (no treatment yet until lymphocyte count rises), good-news/bad-news aspects (no chemo likely, keeps her hair, many live normal lifespans especially younger diagnoses like her at 52), and how curiosity over fear helps her cope.They explore parallels to addiction/recovery (one day at a time, sitting on hands during suicidal moments, grief + gratitude coexisting), family impact (kids' anxiety, protecting emotions), quality over quantity of life, and Erin's Substack reveal for connection. Ends with an Ask Erin advice segment, Johnny Thunders love ("Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory"), and Trinity's cover of "Wanna Be Good So Bad". ALL THAT AND MORE MORE MORE!

The kind of weekend that turns runners into storytellers started with lines out the door and ended with smiles wider than Main Street. We dig into the real Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend: the Dopey merch experiment that strained patience, a 5K power outage that couldn't dim the vibe, and shoes, shirts, and sizing choices that had everyone talking. Then we lace up for the races—Epcot-forward 10K joy, half marathon strategy you can actually use, and marathon Sunday's heat that forced smart decisions and small, lifesaving hacks.You'll hear what it's like to push an adaptive athlete down Main Street USA and orchestrate safe space for fist bumps, and how a community rallied to bring Myra back to the start line—twice. We trade the best on-course tactics for hot weather: drink one cup, pour one cup, stash a wet sponge, eat the banana, and when needed, reset your brain with a ride on Expedition Everest or a vending-machine Coke. We unpack the Blizzard Beach cut, how it reshaped pacing, and why embracing joy can be the difference between finishing and fading. And yes, we celebrate Brittany Charbonneau—dominant on the course, generous at the finish.Beyond the miles, the Disney Springs meetup proves why this community keeps growing: hundreds of friends, homemade cookies, raffle surprises, and quiet moments of encouragement before the last big push. Medal Monday reflections bring practical park tips and a few cautionary notes about embroidery lines. Whether you ran 3.1 or 48.6, you'll find yourself in these stories—costumes, castle photos, new marriages, and first-time Dopey's crossing the line with tears and laughter.Press play for a full recap, hard-earned lessons, and the kind of heart that makes runDisney weekends unforgettable.

ad free at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis Week on Dopey! Dave opens with a deeply personal and emotional tribute to Linda's father, Tony, who recently passed after a long battle with Lewy body dementia, and other ailments. He shares heartfelt memories of Tony's exceptional character—his strength, kindness, love of family, rock 'n' roll roots, teaching career, and unwavering positivity—reflecting on how Tony's compassion and support played a huge role in Dave's own recovery and relationship with Linda. The episode also touches on recent losses (Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead and actor James Ransone from The Wire), with Dave offering a half-hearted amend to Weir, pondering the future of Dead & Company, and urging listeners to reach out if struggling with depression. He then replays his powerful, candid interview with Alec Baldwin, where Alec gets brutally honest about his 40 years of sobriety, wild 80s cocaine-and-alcohol-fueled days in New York and LA, the terrifying overdose that led to his bottom, finding AA as his new “family,” the spiritual shift that kept him sober, and how the program carried him through massive personal and public storms (including his divorce and the Rust tragedy).

True Crime Today's week in review dissects the Nick Reiner case — the legal mechanics of an insanity defense and the broken system that left Rob and Michele Reiner with no good choices.Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder for stabbing his parents to death. The defense has signaled mental health will be central to the case. Sources confirm Nick was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago and his medication was changed weeks before the killings. A sealed medical order is on file. An insanity plea is expected.Defense attorney Bob Motta explained what that means in California. The state uses the M'Naghten standard — the defense must prove Nick didn't understand his actions or didn't know they were wrong. The burden is entirely on the defense team. Bob walked us through how these cases are built, what evidence moves juries, and where Nick ends up if the defense succeeds.But here's the complication prosecutors will exploit: Nick's own admissions. On the Dopey podcast, he detailed seventeen years of gaming the system — staying sober just long enough to get released from rehab, convincing his parents to dismiss expert recommendations, engineering the arrangement that put him in their guesthouse. Can deliberate manipulation over two decades coexist with legal insanity?Rob and Michele faced an impossible choice. Let Nick go back to the streets. Or keep him close and hope he didn't kill them. Rob reportedly told friends the night before he died he was terrified of his own son. California's mental health laws offered no third option. The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act requires imminent danger for involuntary commitment. By the time that standard is met, it's already too late.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #InsanityDefense #BobMotta #MentalHealth #CaliforniaLaw #WeekInReview #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This Week on Dopey! Dave kicks off the Friday episode by celebrating Dopey OG Leah Lumberg's 17 years of sobriety, sharing heartfelt Spotify listener comments (with spirited debates over Breaking Bad characters and more love for the recent Cosmo Lumbino interview), and playing a raw voicemail from Lane opening up about self-medicating with crushed stimulants, kratom, and weed amid depression and a breakup—reminding everyone Dopey welcomes voices from all sides of the struggle. The heart of the show is a deep, hilarious, and profoundly honest conversation with returning guest Hank Azaria, who gets real about his teenage battles with anorexia and bulimia, maintaining his impressive physique through disciplined fitness and calorie tracking, finding primary recovery in Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) work (including a full breakdown of the ACA "laundry list" traits), his enduring love for voicing Moe on The Simpsons, the looming AI threat to voice actors, his Bruce Springsteen tribute band (complete with Bruce's personal thumbs-up), and a thoughtful take on cultural extremism as the real enemy. Packed with lightning-round fun, Mets passion, and classic Dopey vulnerability. All that and more on this brand new episode of that good old dopey show!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We replay of  episodes 3 and 4 (originally recorded in one marathon session), we reflece on the raw, chaotic magic of the show's beginnings with his late co-host Chris. The intro features classic Dopey elements—voicemails from Heart Attack Doug complaining about his absence from the Tuesday Patreon teasers, listener Spotify comments praising past guests like Steve Poltz, and Dave's ongoing gratitude for five-day-a-week Dopey while teasing upcoming episodes with Hank Azaria and more Reddit roundups. The bulk of the episode replays the vintage recordings: Chris shares his infamous "Dodge the Lodge" story about brewing jailhouse pruno at strict Alina Lodge, fleeing into the woods, and waking up in a Harlem ER after overdosing on stolen GHB from a Powerade bottle (leading to a months-long fruit ban back at rehab). Dave follows with his own tales of odd jobs, including working as a fake private eye in 90s clubs and his 1999 Howard Stern Show appearance where he conned his way on air with a phony "Shuffle Entertainer of the Millennium" award—only to get called out (and kicked out) by Robin for obviously being high. The replay captures the unpolished, hilarious chemistry between Dave and Chris that defined early Dopey, ending with Dave's heartfelt appreciation for preserving Chris's voice in these archived episodes.Dave says Episode 4 includes the Howard Stern story (again)ALL THAT AND MORE!

Start lines can carry more than nerves—they can carry whole lives. We kick off Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend with equal parts heart and how-to, celebrating Jack's wedding, sharing practical travel and cheering plans, and diving into two stories that remind us why miles matter.Wendy opens her journey with honesty about grief's physical weight after losing her husband; a man who once signed up for a 5K just to support her Dopey dream. She talks about the moment a Thursday Zoom call pulled her back to community, how coaching helped her rebuild a routine from dog walks to long runs, and why she'll run in hot pinks and hearts to keep love visible on the course. Her insight is clear and kind: grief doesn't follow rules, so neither should your healing.We then turn the volume up on community with our annual Rise and Run roll call—Dopey, Goofy, marathon, half, 10K, and 5K—giving first timers and veterans their well-earned spotlight. Jon's story brings purpose into sharp focus. A single dad chasing his first marathon to model dedication for his kids, he speaks candidly about battling old habits, choosing to prioritize time rather than “find” it, and refusing to let imperfect weeks derail the goal. His mantra is simple: hard work works. He's aiming to finish strong, not chase a hero split, and to show his kids that promises kept to yourself change who you become.Whether you run to heal, to grow, or to prove you can, there's room for your reason here. Tap play, feel seen, get the logistics you need, and take your next step toward the start line with us.

listen to the full show at:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on the Tuesday Teaser!  Dave and a special guest open the show only to realize they just lost an entire hour-long recording — a full tribute episode to Mark F. is gone forever. Instead of forcing it, they pivot and talk about fear, frustration, and what it feels like when things fall apart at the beginning of a new year.Dave shares a very real New Year's Eve story: driving his daughter Susan to Riverhead in a 200,000-mile Subaru while the temperature gauge starts flashing, Google says the car is about to explode, and anxiety takes over. A gas station stop, a stranger with car knowledge, antifreeze drama, and a callback to Susan accidentally drinking antifreeze as a baby somehow make it into the mix.They survive, make it to the aquarium, hit a kid-friendly ball drop, and wind down talking about cookies, brookies, peanut butter, parenting, and selling dessert to anxious people. The episode ends with a teaser for a Patreon-only interview Dave's daughter Nora did with him for a school assignment, followed by music, wandering thoughts, and the familiar Dopey sign-off.much much more - including two more Zoe recordings only on patreon!

No inserted ads: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast The episode opens with your intro, then the bulk of the show is Hairy Tongue Will's massive, chaotic, detailed telling of his addiction, near-death runs, arrests, relapse cycles, dead friends, and eventual recovery.Will describes the early Long Island chaos with Richie, Mike, and Lenny—everyone strung out on heroin, crack, coke, and whatever they could get. He recalls the first serious turn: showing up to a house where Lenny was passed out after a three-day crack run, realizing “the demons are taking over.” Mike and Richie spiral deeper, and Will keeps managing to “hold it together” thanks to jobs, work ethic, and a strange electrical-job stabilizer that kept him semi-functional.He details years of DUIs, probation, manipulating drug tests, smoking crack constantly while still working 16-hour electrician shifts, and thriving socially because coworkers lived vicariously through him. He normalized chaos, missing only “one no-call/no-show every two weeks,” which he considered acceptable.Will then dives into his first short attempt at stability, living in a basement apartment. His probation officer surprises him the day after a holiday: the apartment is filled with beer cans, bongs, baggies. He fails the test, is sent back to rehab/jail cycles, and explains why Long Island addicts often choose jail over treatment. He describes his surreal time in jail—being sent to the Montauk Lighthouse on work crews, eating egg sandwiches and black-and-milds with the guards, becoming “the useful guy,” actually feeling respected and purposeful.Back outside, he tries again, fails again, collects DUIs, cycles through companies, loses jobs, hustles side work, and repeatedly relapses. A wedding night leads to another DUI. COVID hits while he's in jail. He gets out, starts working nonstop, earns money, piles cash in a closet, stacks crypto, reads self-help books, sleeps on a mattress on the floor, becomes obsessed with success and control.Then he meets a girl in Tennessee. He drinks again “successfully” only when he flies there. He builds a double life—working himself numb, drinking out of state, convincing himself he's different.Eventually, on a work trip, he gambles, wins big, drinks an old fashioned, and secretly cooks his boss's cocaine into crack. This reignites the obsession. Will starts traveling the Northeast and Midwest, repeatedly pulling crack-seeking missions: gas stations, high-crime neighborhoods, asking strangers, “I'm looking for some hard.” He builds drug contacts in Bridgeport, Dayton, Maine, Virginia, wherever the job sends him. He smokes in hotels, hallucinates blood on floors, changes rooms repeatedly.He recounts the deaths of friends:Mike, whose father turned their home into a sheet-walled trap house with dealers and bikers living inside.How Mike died with his father selling sneakers off his dead son's body.Richie, who got sober then died of fentanyl after nearly two years clean.Will's life collapses further—obsession, resentment toward God, jealousy, terminal uniqueness. He becomes a “demon,” wanting to die like his friends. He terrifies his girlfriend with delusional FaceTimes, nine-day runs, psychosis. She moves in without knowing the truth and becomes trapped in codependency.He stays high for 26 straight days, manipulates her with antihistamine allergy episodes to cover his psychosis, hides crack pipes around the house with ring cameras everywhere. He finally admits some truth, gives her $5,000 to escape, but she stays another nine months.He tells insane stories:Pretending he's a trust-fund baby to get free crackGetting shot at by a dealer after a misunderstanding over “two grams” vs “two ounces”Driving through wooded roads barefoot at gas stationsDealers trying to jump himBecoming a mule for a recently-released dealer (Ace)Near misses, violence, and pure street insanityEventually, during a pickup, he gets chased, prays for police lights, and his car breaks down. Cops descend. He gets a mountain of charges (“five decades worth”). He thinks he'll die in prison. Bail reform gets him released. He immediately uses again for 17 more days.A sober lawyer tries pushing him toward St. Christopher's. Will resists, manipulates LICR, relapses again, cancels his own insurance, tries to die, and after weeks of chaos his mother gets him re-approved. He enters St. Chris, still delusional, still dangerous.There he breaks. He admits suicidal thoughts, gets a guard stationed outside his door, hears the blunt truth—you're the worst-off guy here and you did this to yourself. It lands. Will begins working the program: spiritual direction, grief groups, codependency, meetings, kitchen duty, everything. He reconnects with his mother in sobriety. He attends court in suits provided by the facility and ultimately receives an unexpectedly generous plea deal.He comes home early, tries to run his own program, stays sober for months, but on Mother's Day runs into an old acquaintance who shows him a Newport box with a pipe inside. He relapses immediately for three days, misses Mother's Day entirely.That night, suicidal again, he receives a series of calls: first from Jordan, then from his tough sponsor, who gives him clear direction—go to a sober house, go to daily groups, go to nightly meetings, call people, build structure. Will frauds his urine to get in, but once inside, follows every instruction. He stabilizes.He recounts being 18 months sober now, having been at meetings nearly every night, with a recent slip in commitment due to chasing an “intimate partner godshot” that didn't work out. You reassure him that it's fine and that balance is part of recovery.More or less thats the whole thing! On a brand new fucko, crackead episode of that good old dopey show!

Rob Reiner knew his son could hurt him. He reportedly said it out loud the night before he died. And there was nothing he could legally do about it. Nick Reiner is now facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his parents to death. His defense attorney is building an insanity case. But the real story isn't just about Nick's mental illness — it's about a system that trapped his parents with no way out. California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act requires imminent danger for involuntary commitment. Not "probably dangerous." Not "clearly deteriorating." Imminent. Right now. This second. Families get 72-hour holds that end the moment the patient says the right words. And addicts are very good at saying the right words. Nick reportedly gamed seventeen rehab programs. He admitted on the Dopey podcast to staying sober just long enough to get released. He convinced his parents to trust him over the professionals. He engineered the arrangement that put him in their guesthouse instead of a supervised facility. The options Rob and Michele had? Let him go to the streets. Hope he gets arrested. Become an untrained institution in their own home. Or fight for years to get a conservatorship that has to be renewed annually. They chose to keep him close. They were 78 and 70. They weren't trained for this. And according to reports, they were terrified. This is happening to families across America right now. The system tells them to set boundaries while their child spirals. Then we act shocked when tragedy strikes. Nick's accountability is coming. But the system that failed his parents deserves scrutiny too. #RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #ReinerMurder #MentalHealth #TrueCrime #California #LPSAct #Justice Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dave rings in the first Friday of 2026 with multimedia superstar and Queen of Melrose, Cosmo Lambino—fresh off Soft White Underbelly fame—spilling a wild Harlem-to-Hollywood saga of mob-adjacent glamour (Godfather shoots at grandma's apartment, fur coats from car trunks), early gay defiance against Jehovah's Witnesses, freebase-fueled club chaos, near-misses with Michael Jackson pasta invites, MacArthur Park crack binges, cardboard-box homelessness, and finally sustained sobriety (8+ years strong) through rigorous daily step-writing, meditation, and Tarzana redemption. Dave raves about Avatar: The Last Airbender bonding with his kid, plugs Patreon Zooms and ad-free listening, reads spicy Spotify comments (mushroom nipples, crack exam tales), shares voicemails (stolen lunchbox heist gone wrong, Hexen research-chemical nightmare), teases upcoming content, and shouts out community heroes while vowing to care less about haters. All that and more on this first Friday Dopey of 2026!

Dave reflects on Poltz as a true "blessing" to the show and his life, debates sticking with Five Days of Dopey, reads wild listener comments (meth pee anyone?), shares an Australian dad's white-knuckle sobriety struggles, and drops quick recovery tips while prepping lasagna for Linda's mom's 80th.

He reads a heartfelt email from old-timer Craig begging him to go full-throttle for the community's sake, then drops the full replay of his recent guest spot on the hippie Yellow Balloon podcast One Show at a Time—a rapid-fire qualification packed with childhood staph infections, codependency as his first “drug,” heroin-fueled career crashes, supervised visitation shame, and the desperate AA surrender that finally stuck at 41. The share ends with an avalanche of love from the Zoom crowd (random cameos from Ivan Neville and Anders Osborne included), leaving Dave both embarrassed and deeply grateful as he closes out 2025 counting blessings, overeating brookies with Susan at Patchogue's early ball drop, and reminding the Nation: if you're struggling tonight, reach out—tomorrow's a new day. All that and more on this weeks collab show with the one show at a time podcast!

Highlights of Andrew's story:Groomed into drugs as a child (huffing Freon, mouthwash, morning glory seeds, intro to heroin).Teen oxy → heroin addiction, crime spree across Midwest with a girlfriend (scamming hospitals for Dilaudid, policy changes in North Dakota(?)).Prostitution, prison for her, desert life in Arizona (licking psychedelic Sonoran Desert Toads, first meth).Arrested drunk pushing daughter's stroller, divorce, more rehab, dope sick on xylazine-laced street heroin.Grindr hookup turned near-sex-trafficking + months-long psychosis.Overprescribed Vyvanse gone wrong; now mostly sober using kratom (harm reduction) and occasional toad psychedelics.Andrew wants to discuss drugs + human trafficking on dating apps and stimulant overprescription.Discussion: Sex Trafficking & Dating Apps They dive into the dark side of apps like Tinder/Grindr — coerced prostitution, pimps forcing partners, shades of consent, why victims don't just leave. Dave admits struggling to understand the coercion aspect until reading the legal definition.Cliffhanger & Patreon Plug Dave teases that he and Ray are starting to work on a movie script together — details only available to Patreon subscribers (patreon.com/dopeypodcast).

Nick Reiner is facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his parents — legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele — to death in their Brentwood home. His defense attorney is already signaling an insanity plea, pointing to schizophrenia and a medication change weeks before the killings. The narrative being built is that Nick was failed by a broken system. But Nick's own words tell a different story. On the Dopey podcast, Nick admitted to gaming rehab — staying sober just long enough to get out, then going right back to using. He described stealing OxyContin from a sick elderly woman who needed it for pain. His words: "You throw your morals out the window." He spent reportedly seventeen rehab stints manipulating counselors, deceiving his parents, and convincing Rob and Michele that the experts were wrong and he was right. Rob Reiner said exactly that in interviews — that he regretted trusting the professionals over his son. He didn't realize what that trust actually was: successful manipulation by an addict who'd been running the same play since he was fifteen years old. The night before the killings, Rob reportedly told friends at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party: "I'm petrified of Nick. I think my own son can hurt me." By the next afternoon, Rob and Michele were dead. An insanity defense treats this crime like it happened in a vacuum. It didn't. Seventeen years of choices led to that bedroom. Every gamed rehab. Every stolen pill. Every lie. Nick Reiner made those choices. And now his parents are dead. The arraignment is January 7th. Prosecutors haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty. This is accountability — seventeen years late, but finally arriving. #nickreiner  #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurder #TrueCrime #TrueCrime2025 #MurderCase #Hollywood #Accountability #BreakingNews Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The return of White Tighties Jeremy Turner accidentally shooting Viagra and an email all about meth-fueled multi-day porn marathons that destroy skin and phones another about brutal long-term benzo withdrawal horrors, and a wild prison-submitted bath salts tale full of paranoia and fake-reality glitches.Then, at 25:42, Yellow Balloon recovery powerhouse Jen Dawson takes over with her unforgettable Southern story – from feeling like an outsider in a "normal" family, early prescribed Adderall and wild "nipple" psilocybin mushrooms, diving headfirst into '99 Phish tour life, crystal meth insanity, toxic soulmate drama (including a pistol-whipping incident), a venomous spider bite leading to near foot amputation and a pain-clinic fentanyl jackpot, research chemicals, shooting heroin, the devastating stillbirth of her son Dakota, a suicide attempt, multiple jail stints, and finally true surrender in a strict year-long program. Now 11 years sober, Jen shares how sweat lodges helped her connect with Dakota's spirit, rebuilding life with daughter Cyprus (now 18 and thriving), going to college, and finding lifelong community in the Yellow Balloon sober jam-band scene.

A little Christmas magic meets marathon grit. We open with holiday cheer, community thanks, and a few playful ideas—from telethons to extra-big meetup cookies—before diving into a rewind that still gives us goosebumps: the Walt Disney World Marathon story of first-time marathoner and champion, Stephanie Muscat.Stephanie's path started in the pool. Years of swimming turned into tentative laps on an indoor track, then into local 5Ks and half marathons that built confidence. She explains why runDisney hooked her—the DJs at 3 a.m., the pre-start electricity, and the promise of sprinting past Spaceship Earth—and why Disney was the perfect stage for a marathon debut. On race day she kept the goal simple: a smart run around three hours. The early lead surprised her, Main Street USA brought tears, and a bike lead quietly guided the way. At mile 19, rain poured at Blizzard Beach, second place loomed a few minutes behind, and Stephanie turned the weather into fuel. By the time she entered EPCOT, the possibility became a pulse, then a certainty: tape up, arms high, a finish line she won't forget.We also share practical updates for runners prepping for Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise—training checkpoints, ADR reminders, and big news from runDisney: Dopey Challenge merchandise access limited to registered Dopey runners on day one, with verification and item limits. Our Disney Springs meetup is set, free, and cookie-powered, with a flag raffle and a group photo at 3:30 p.m. The race report packs in festive wins from across the country: PRs and age-group podiums, costumes and community, and a subzero grind that ended in hot chocolate.Whether you're chasing a BQ, jumping into your first 5K, or just here for the Main Street chills, you'll leave fired up with clear tips, real talk, and a reminder that if you make it to the start, you're already winning.

Listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastIn this Dopey replay, We revisits rare and unfiltered moments with Nick Reiner and Chris O'Connor from early episodes of the show — recorded years before the tragic events surrounding the Reiner family.The episode reflects on a time when addiction and mental illness had not yet fully hardened into catastrophic consequences. Dave explains why he chose to release this material now, reading listener reactions and grappling with the complexity of showing who Nick was before everything went wrong.What follows is a raw, chaotic, often funny, and deeply human stretch of Dopey history: arguments, drug stories, recovery talk, basketball injuries, relapse temptations, seizures, rehab memories, and one particularly moving story of Nick tripping on LSD and being cared for by his father through the night.The episode closes with a reflection on recovery, connection, and the importance of reaching out — both to those struggling and to those we love — alongside a tribute to Chris O'Connor and the reminder that hindsight doesn't protect us, but connection sometimes can.

www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast  listen without ads!This week on Dopey! A heavy, emotional holiday episode of Dopey that moves between chaos, grief, recovery, dark humor, and connection. Dave opens with a raw, chaotic song about cocaine, crack, and wanting relief, then sets the tone for a brutal week shaped by multiple tragedies — including the shocking deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner and the arrest of their son Nick Reiner, a former Dopey guest.The episode includes sponsor reads, listener Christmas messages, and reflections on sticking together in recovery when the world feels overwhelming. Dave reads Spotify comments, emails, and shares messages from the Dopey Nation, emphasizing connection, gratitude, and community during the holidays.The centerpiece is a long, candid interview with Alec Baldwin, recorded just before Thanksgiving. Alec discusses growing up on Long Island, early drinking and cocaine use, working in New York television, moving to Los Angeles, fame, excess, driving intoxicated, overdosing in a hotel room in Oregon, and ultimately getting sober in 1985. He describes how AA became his entire social world, how spirituality helped keep him sober, and how his faith and family carried him through later life crises — including public scrutiny, divorce, legal battles, and depression. Alec speaks openly about wanting to “just not kill myself tomorrow” during his darkest moments and how sobriety principles guided him through.After the interview, Dave plays more holiday messages from the Dopey Nation and then has a long, emotional phone call with his father, Alan Manheim. They process the Nick Reiner tragedy, public backlash, antisemitic comments, criticism of old Dopey clips resurfacing online, and the strange irony of Dopey being thrust into the media spotlight through tragedy. They discuss parenting addicts, mental illness, fame, synchronicity, and how Dopey interviews became central to news coverage. The episode closes with reflections on resilience, staying connected, asking for help, and honoring Chris, followed by Dave playing his song “Good So Bad.”SEO / SEARCHABLE KEYWORDS (CUT & PASTE)  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ad Free Dopey:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastIn this crucial emergency episode, Dave is joined by longtime friend and recovery legend Bob Forrest to process the shock, grief, and fallout surrounding the Nick Reiner tragedy and the public backlash aimed at Dopey.Bob speaks from decades of experience in addiction treatment, psychiatry-adjacent crisis work, and firsthand encounters with drug-induced psychosis, violence, and untreated mental illness. He explains why modern drugs—especially meth and stimulants—are producing homicidal and suicidal behavior, and why families often have no remaining safety net when things spiral.They discuss:Why parents can love their children and still need boundaries, charges, or interventionHow decriminalization + lack of psychiatric resources leaves families helplessWhy people project their own trauma and rage onto public figures and podcastsThe danger of separating “mental health” from active addictionCelebrity kids, resentment, identity, and why some survive while others don'tWhy Dopey is being scapegoated—and why that logic doesn't hold upThe conversation moves through music, recovery, punk rock, famous addiction stories, Christmas memories, suicidal ideation, parenting, and connection, ultimately landing on Bob's central belief: connection, love, truth, and honesty are what keep people alive.The episode ends with Bob defending Dopey's right to tell the whole truth about addiction—ugly, funny, painful, and real—and offering a blunt but heartfelt holiday message to Dopey Nation. All that and more on this brand new Wednesday episode of the good old Dopey show.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hear the rest at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey Tuesday with returning friend, writer, and “elite ex-equestrian” Erin Carr. They joke about their disorganization, their family-like bond, and the chaos of planning episodes. Erin updates Dave on her recent election win to the NYC Education Council and what serving on it has been like—contentious but meaningful work centered on education policy and generational differences.The conversation shifts into generational talk (Gen X, Gen Z, Gen Alpha), early internet days, and feeling grateful they grew up before social media. Erin then describes learning—through an ex—that Dopey was suddenly in the news because Dave was doing media interviews about the breaking Nick Reiner case.Dave recounts going on ABC News unprepared, explains his new plan to publish a show every day, and details the backlash he received for releasing a Dopey Emergency Episode compiling all of Nick Reiner's past appearances. Erin gives thoughtful criticism: the issue isn't releasing the audio, but centering Nick rather than the murdered victims. They discuss responsibility, ethics, addiction stigma, and the complexity of public consumption of tragedy.Dave explains why he released the compilation, his intentions, the bizarre Dopey connection to the story, and his concern over tone. Erin helps him rework the title toward something victim-centered (“The Reiner Family Tragedy”). They unpack addiction narratives, mental illness stigma, and how easily public discussion slips into blaming or sensationalizing.The two close on themes of empathy, horror at the details emerging about the Reiner murders, the emotional weight of family devastation, and the moral questions around covering breaking tragedy in recovery media. The teaser ends with Dave redirecting listeners to Patreon for the rest of the conversation before running off to Susan's Nutcracker performance.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

for shows without inserted ads join:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis two-hour emergency Dopey  episode compiles all of Nick Reiner's appearances — spanning relapse, heart attack, family pressure, recovery attempts, weed/Adderall use, and wild stories. Dave and Chris walk through Nick's upbringing as the son of Rob Reiner and grandson of Carl Reiner, the contrast between privilege and addiction, and the comedy-tragedy tension that defines Dopey.Nick describes relapsing with an old dealer, falling back into heroin and cocaine, and ultimately having a cocaine-induced heart attack mid-flight. He wakes up in a Boston hospital with Chris at his bedside. Dave and Chris revisit Nick's movements through detoxes, sober living in Maine, and his premeditated plan to return home so he could smoke weed again without consequences.The episode also includes Nick's childhood sex-work story (“Cherry Red”), his guest-house meth/coke destruction spree, and his reflections on relapse, weed maintenance, and creative paralysis.Dave and Chris add personal context — the pain of losing friends, the shock of Chris's death, anger, humor, and the push-pull dynamic they shared trying to support Nick.The final third moves into classic Dopey: a listener email about sexual trauma and a predatory case manager; Dave and Chris reacting with equal parts disbelief and empathy; side rants on AA, weed, Adderall harm reduction, NBA players, LSD myths, and Nick's writing ambitions.This is a serious American tragedy - please send your thoughts to dopeypodcast@gmail.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
