    This Week on Dopey! We are joined by Oro Recovery Medical Director - Dr. Jason Giles! We also read old comments and hear from a few dopes in the dopey nation. Then Dave interviews Dr.  Giles—twice board-certified in addiction medicine (via ABAM then ABPM), previously board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, and a recovering opioid addict. He grew up in Santa Monica with a severely alcoholic father, fell into the second-wave ska/mod scene (Vespa, sharkskin suits, amphetamines), dropped out of high school, then clawed his way through community college to Berkeley, volunteering at the Berkeley Free Clinic and falling in love with medicine.He explains anesthesia's demands (no pain, no memory; muscle relaxants; airway control), the human connection of pediatric anesthesia, and the hope-work of pain management. In 1999, curiosity and stress led him to divert fentanyl: he edited paper records, carried a 2 mL syringe for a month, then IV-used with sterile technique. After a six-week gap he used again, convincing himself he could “handle it.” Use escalated to daily “after work,” leaving him in daytime withdrawal. The department chair paged him about missing fentanyl; instead of punishment, he offered help and a path into California's 5-year diversion program (treatment, meetings, testing). Giles detoxed cold turkey, went to AA (first meeting mostly doctors), found he wasn't unique, and built long-term sobriety (nearly 26 years by his telling), learning service and vulnerability through treatment feedback groups.With sobriety he finished residency, married, had a son, worked in cardiac anesthesia and pain, and then moved into addiction treatment (Malibu), where his science and lived experience met the work. He and Dave range widely: purpose/mission as a recovery engine; Bill W., boomerangs and ants; truth-serum myths; Halsted (cocaine→heroin), Freud letters, Hitler's amphetamines/opioids (book Blitzed), kratom (mixed withdrawal profiles), benzos vs. opiates (benzo withdrawal = fear), intraoperative awareness & memory, Suboxone vs. abstinence (cast/training-wheels framing), fentanyl's dominance (counterfeit pills; heroin now rare), and whether fentanyl appears in non-opioid street drugs (he says he's seen it).

    Like any card-carrying Italian worth his focaccia, singer Matteo Bocelli says he could eat pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner! From his home in Tuscany, Matteo tells host Rachel Belle about the super-simple, but deeply delicious, sauce recipe he’s been trying to perfect, inspired by a three-Michelin-star restaurant, and why you should always choose Italian pasta made from ancient grains. You’ve probably heard the tales: A gluten-sensitive American travels to Italy or France, and can magically stuff their face with croissants, baguettes and pasta without any negative consequences. Rachel asks Dr. Alessio Fasano, professor of nutrition and a Celiac and gluten expert and researcher at Harvard Medical School, if, and how, this is possible. Matteo just released his second album, Falling in Love, and if his name sounds familiar, it’s because his dad is Andrea Bocelli, the famous Italian singer.

    The Only Way to Choose Your Road - #10099

    A Word With You

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 25, 2025


    Our son was falling in love. I mean like the big one - like the girl he ended up marrying. Our beautiful Navajo daughter now. Our son lived on the Hopi Indian Reservation in Arizona, and the girl of his dreams lived in a remote area of the Navajo Reservation. It was about an hour drive to get out to her house to see her, but he managed - frequently. And the road? Oh, boy! It's one of those reservation roads that kills your shock absorbers, covers you with dust, and even opens up a crater or two for you to dodge. It's not that there weren't better roads around in that area; there are some nicely paved highways with some beautiful views. They even had some nice girls living on them probably. But my son didn't take any of those, for one very good reason. There was only one road that led to the destination he wanted. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I'd like to have A Word With You today about "The Only Way to Choose Your Road." What is that? It's the same way our son chose the road he took - does it get me to the destination I want? That's especially important when the destination is eternal; the place you'll be forever. God deeply wants you and me to be with Him forever in heaven. So He makes the road very clear. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Isaiah 43:11. "I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from Me there is no Savior." How many roads? According to the One who decides, there is one. Now notice, God doesn't say "apart from Me there is no religion." There are many religions. God doesn't say, "Apart from Me there is no teacher." Again, there have been many spiritual teachers. And God doesn't tell us, "Apart from Me there is no spirituality." There's a whole buffet of inspiring spiritual experiences. If what will get us to heaven is a religion or a religious leader or spirituality, take your pick. There are many roads. But God says what we need is a Savior, someone who can rescue us from a dying situation. Later in the same chapter in the Bible, God explains what it takes to have a relationship with Him and to make it to heaven. "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions, for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more." God says, "You've got to have your sins totally erased." No amount of doing good can erase my doing bad. No amount of sincere spirituality can pay the death penalty that sin requires. Only one person even claimed to do that. In the Bible's words, speaking of Jesus, "He carried our sins in His own body on the tree." So that's why Jesus says, "I am the way. No man comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). Apart from Him there is no Savior. And apart from a Savior, you and I don't stand a chance with God. There are many beautiful roads with many beautiful people on them. But only the Savior road gets you to the eternal destination you want, which is heaven. The only issue that will really matter forever is whether or not you took the road God provided at the cost of His only Son's life. You've thought about it, maybe even argued about it, but maybe today your heart is saying, "I do need a Savior. It's time." If you want Jesus, the Savior, to finally be your Savior, would you tell Him that right now? "Jesus, you're the One who died for me for what I've done against God, I am yours beginning today. I'm grabbing You like a drowning person would grab a rescuer." I'd love to help you be sure you belong to Him; to nail down this relationship and get it settled. That's why our website exists, and I want to invite you to go there. It's ANewStory.com. Would you check it out as soon as you can today? One day, maybe unexpectedly, your earth-journey will come to an abrupt end. And then it's eternity. From then on and forever, all that matters is what road you chose to get to heaven...because the only one that goes there is the one that runs by Jesus' cross.

    I had the chance to sit down with Steve Booher, the founder and CEO of Always Full, and what an inspiring conversation it was.   Steve's entrepreneurial journey spans decades, from walking away from a “lifetime” corporate job to building multiple companies across engineering, manufacturing, and ag-tech. Along the way, he learned hard lessons about trust, cash flow, and resilience. And now, he's bringing all of that experience into the pet space with a product that solves a simple but universal problem—keeping your pet's water bowl always full and always clean. In our conversation, Steve shared the story of how a broken arm in his family turned into the spark for Always Full. What began as a sketch in AutoCAD evolved into a laser-precise, vortex-flushing, self-cleaning water bowl that pet parents (and pets!) are falling in love with.   From overcoming engineering challenges, to winning awards at SuperZoo and Global Pet Expo, to preparing for retail and online expansion, Steve walked us through what it takes to build not just a product, but a brand that truly makes a difference in people's lives. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: * How Steve's early career experiences led him to embrace entrepreneurship   * The tough lessons he learned building and selling multiple companies before Always Full   * How his wife's broken arm sparked the idea for a better water bowl   * The engineering process behind Always Full, including the vortex flush and filtration system   * Why Always Full is gaining traction with consumers, retailers, and even industry awards Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this episode of The Story of a Brand as we dive into the journey of an entrepreneur who's proving that solving real problems—like keeping your pets healthy and hydrated—can be both meaningful and transformative.

    THE FBI's investigation into the shooting of Charlie Kirk has turned up a disturbing connection to an Antifa-linked group called the John Brown Gun Club. John Brown was a violent Civil War-era abolitionist who believed the institution of slavery could only be purged ”with blood.” His memory has been invoked by a leftist organization linked to Antifa that seeks to militarize the white working class against symbols of what it perceives as oppression—like the police. The Texas-based Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, the transgender group behind the July 4th shooting at the ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, co-hosted educational workshops in 2023 with Armed Queers SLC, the Salt Lake City group linked to 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. The founder of Armed Queers SLC, Ermiya Fanaeian, is a prominent activist in Utah who appeared onstage at a rally for then-presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren in 2019 and posted a video with a colleague about their May Day 2025 trip to Cuba to study revolution alongside Palestinians. Where will this investigation lead? Time will tell, but, contrary to the claims of Candace Owens, the evidence is not pointing towards Israel.

    Buying a home? Buckle up, because Eric G and John Dudley are diving straight into the wild world of home buying mistakes. Right off the bat, they're laying down the law on the top 10 blunders that can turn your dream home into a nightmare faster than you can say "mortgage." Whether it's skipping that oh-so-important home inspection or falling head over heels for the first property you see (spoiler alert: that rarely ends well), they've got the scoop that'll save your sanity and your wallet. With their collective expertise, they're breaking down each misstep with a mix of humor and solid advice, so you can navigate the home-buying jungle like a pro. Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as we unpack these costly mistakes that too many homeowners make!Buying a home can be a wild ride, and if you're not careful, you might end up in a circus of regret. Eric G and John Dudley kick off the show by diving into the top 10 mistakes homeowners make when buying a house. They start with the ever-so-fun topic of not getting pre-approved for a mortgage first. It's like trying to buy a ticket to a concert without knowing if your credit card will even work—good luck getting in! They emphasize the importance of knowing your budget before falling in love with a property. Next up is the classic rookie mistake of rushing into a purchase. In a hot market, it's easy to make snap decisions, but Eric and John remind us that stepping back and doing your due diligence is crucial. They also touch on the emotional rollercoaster that comes with house hunting, and how ignoring your long-term needs can lead to buyer's remorse faster than you can say 'fixer-upper.' With a sprinkle of sarcasm and a dash of humor, this episode lays down the law on what not to do when buying a home, leaving listeners both entertained and informed.Takeaways: Don't skip the home inspection; ignoring it can lead to serious surprises later on. Make sure your relationship is solid before diving into home buying and renovations. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is crucial; don't waste time house hunting without it! Consider total ownership costs like property taxes and insurance when budgeting for your new home. Avoid falling in love with the first house; there are plenty more fish in the real estate sea. Shopping around for mortgage rates and lenders can save you big bucks—don't just settle for the first offer!

    In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, our host, Rob Lawrence, sits down with Hollywood actor Rainn Wilson, who stars as Randy in “Code 3.” Known worldwide for his role as Dwight Schrute in The Office, Wilson has stepped into the world of EMS, portraying the life of a burned-out paramedic with both grit and humor. In the conversation, Wilson reflects on the process of bringing this story to life, his ride-along experiences in Los Angeles, and the powerful realities he uncovered about our profession. More than just a performance, Rainn has become an unexpected advocate for EMS. He speaks candidly about the underfunding of frontline providers, the emotional toll of the work and the sheer humanity that comes with being welcomed into people's lives during their most vulnerable moments. Alongside the serious themes, he reminds us that Code 3 is also a comedy — one that captures the gallows humor, camaraderie and resilience medics carry with them on every shift. | MORE: Why ‘Code 3' might be the most honest EMS film yet. From a ticking salary counter to fourth-wall confessions, this EMS road movie isn't just another Hollywood take. It's a love letter, a warning and a mirror. Memorable quotes from Rainn Wilson “Most of all, I just fell in love with the character of Randy.” “Bottom line, the fact that first responders are getting basically what people that work at Starbucks are getting paid really blew my mind.” “Well, one thing I never thought of, maybe stupidly so, is how vulnerable everything is because you're going into people's homes and they're in crisis.” “I think Rob, no one should be allowed to graduate from high school without their kind of basic CPR training.” “Everything about EMS — the tone, the vibe, the gallows humor, certainly all the technical medical elements, the burnout, the camaraderie, the idea that there's a mission here — they do it because they love it.” “Well, it was an honor to learn about this world and to make a movie that these workers are excited about and proud of.” “I want to say from the bottom of my heart, you know, ‘thank you.

    Laura Ries is a globally recognized branding strategist, bestselling author, and chair of RIES—a firm renowned for pioneering the concept of brand positioning. Daughter of marketing legend Al Ries, Laura has spent decades helping companies build iconic brands and is celebrated for translating complex marketing concepts into clear, actionable strategies. Her soon-to-be-released book, The Strategic Enemy, explores why great brands succeed by defining what they stand against, not just what they offer. On this episode we talk about: Why positioning and strategic focus outlast fleeting marketing trends How “defining your enemy” creates clear, memorable brands Common brand-killing mistakes (like overextending or chasing fads) Lessons from classic and booming brands—Chick-fil-A, In-N-Out, Oatly Why apprenticeships and real-world learning trump trendy marketing degrees Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Strategy beats tactics: A focused, differentiated brand positioning is timeless, while tools and platforms change.2.  Brands grow stronger by narrowing their focus and clearly defining what they are not—opposition is memorable.3.  Consistency and repetition are more powerful in branding than chasing every new trend or expansion. Notable Quotes “People are much faster to understand opposition than superiority…saying what you're different from is more powerful than saying you're better.” “The biggest danger for any brand is falling in love with its own early success and overextending.” “Effective branding isn't about saying more—it's about saying one powerful thing well, over and over.” Connect with Laura Ries: Website: ries.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️

They joined the show to discuss their journey of building a platform designed to solve the engagement crisis and simplify the healthcare experience for everyone.Matt and Nathan break down their "bottoms-up" approach to this problem, which focuses on engaging members when they need help through a high-touch, live support model delivered via mobile app. We discuss how they use the psychology of "loss aversion" and constant communication to drive engagement rates over 90%.We also explore how Medefy acts as the "quarterback" for a health plan, removing friction by navigating members to the right solutions. This is all part of their vision for the future of healthcare, where the experience is "heavily, heavily individualized" for each person.Chapters:(00:00:00) Why Employees Would Rather Clean a Toilet Than Use Their Benefits (00:04:18) Cleaning a Toilet vs. Learning Your Benefits (00:08:46) Falling in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution (00:14:23) The Power of Live, Human Support (00:19:08) Using "Loss Aversion" to Drive Engagement (00:34:54) The Quarterback for Your Health Plan (00:47:57) How AI is Augmenting the Human Touch (01:00:01) The Future of Healthcare is "Individualized"Key Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/

    Karma Said, the author of Surviving Master Joshua-The BDSM Memoir of an Unfaithful Wife donned a mask and joined Mark and Nicole for a very provocative chat. Karma initially got her interest in kink from reading 50 Shades of Grey and was working for a religiously conservative publication when she was assigned to to a piece on religious figures in the New York BDSM scene, and ended up falling in love and being a collared slave to Master Joshua which opened her up to hardcore sexual desires and a world she never knew existed. She gradually lived a double life, one with her vanilla husband and children and the other as a sex slave to a polyamorous and pansexual man. This duality eventually drove her to the brink of madness and to the ultimately very surprising place where she is now with both men in her lives as she lives her life as a switch.

    In this continuation of our matrix series, we go deeper into three interwoven constructs - healthcare, banks/money, and so-called “artificial intelligence” - and how they function as false authorities only because we hand them our power. This isn't a hit piece on people. It's an illumination of ideas. As I say up front, I'm fiery - earth and fire in my blueprint - but I'm not condemning. Good/bad, right/wrong are outdated frames. Like Morpheus says, the matrix is a prison for the mind, a shadow we mistake for the body. I'm pointing at the shadow so you can see the light.We begin with healthcare. I share the story of visiting friends and being struck by the drumbeat of pharmaceutical commercials - slick narratives that say, “You're doing the natural things - eating real food, moving your body - and it's still not enough. Take the pill.” I offer a personal example: my dad was put on a preventative cholesterol drug even without high cholesterol, and later told it would be “dangerous” to stop. The point isn't that doctors are villains; it's that the system replicates nature poorly and becomes self-serving. I highlight the placebo effect to illustrate the mind's role in healing and argue that much of the system is a copy of true health. When we forget this, we surrender authority to white coats and acronyms instead of listening to our bodies and living in simple alignment - real food, movement, sunlight, and rest.From there we move to banks and money. In nature, value flows through exchange - what I have in excess covers your lack, and vice versa. Tribes live this way. Yet we've assigned a monetary price to everything - food, water, land - and then centralized the levers (interest, inflation, access) so thoroughly that abundance dies on the vine. I contrast U.S. food waste with global hunger to show the distortion: it's not that we can't share; it's that we won't because the price tag says no. I'm not calling that evil - I'm asking us to look at results. I point to cryptocurrency as a tool that could move us toward sounder exchange and, ultimately, a world with less need for currency at all, and I mention the Venus Project as a vision of resource-based living driven by available technology.Finally, we tackle “AI.” I call artificial intelligence an oxymoron: what is artificial isn't intelligent, and what is intelligent isn't artificial. In practice, it's a confirmation-bias mirror - the apex of human narcissism - polishing and returning our own beliefs. I've seen people get opposite “truths” from their bots based on what they feed them. When we treat that mirror as an oracle, we don't become wiser; we outsource discernment. I even note emerging pathologies like people falling in love with their bots—a sign of isolation and self-infatuation the matrix rewards.The through-line is authority. Government, corporations, religions, healthcare, banks, and “AI” are not mothers and fathers. They are ideas - useful only when they serve life. I don't vote, not out of apathy, but because I refuse to abdicate self-governance. As Jurassic Park warned, we were so busy asking if we could that we didn't ask if we should. Let's ask now. Next week I'll share what I do believe - practical, life-giving shifts we can embody so the matrix serves through us, not over us.Elevate your alpha, brothers.

    This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes and Natalie Orpett, and Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School Rebecca Ingber, to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Uninvited Aerial Vehicles.” The Polish government is claiming that nineteen armed Russian UAVs penetrated its airspace last night. While Russians are suggesting no attack was intended, Poland has invoked Article IV of the NATO Treaty and worked with allied NATO aircraft to shoot the drones down. What might be happening here? And does it mean we're on our way to World War III as some are suggesting?“Bibi is a Killer Negotiator. No, Wait—Switch That.” Within days of the Trump administration tabling another ceasefire proposal—and, by some accounts, making progress in pressuring Hamas to accept it—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized a set of missile strikes that killed the leaders of Hamas's political wing in nearby Qatar. It's the first such move in a Gulf country, many of which have moved towards normalization with Israel through the Trump-backed Abraham Accords. What explains Israel's actions? And what do they portend for the conflict in Gaza and the region as a whole?“Cruise Control.” A week has passed since the Trump administration took the controversial step of targeting a boat alleged to be smuggling narcotics at the direction of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua with lethal force. The Trump administration hasn't repeated the move, but it's said it intends to. And U.S. military assets—including strategic assets whose use in a counter-narcotics military campaign is far from clear—have continued to build up in the region, leading some to believe that a broader campaign against Venezuela itself may yet be in the offing. How likely is a broader campaign? And could its implications be, legally and politically? In Object Lessons, Ben is cheering on a cadre of former FBI agents suing Kash Patel over their firings, and in the process, sings the praises of an accidental hero—the “Drizz.” Natalie, meanwhile, gets très littéraire with “The Elegance of the Hedgehog,” by Muriel Barbery—a book so French that almost nothing happens. Scott rang in his 8th wedding anniversary the traditional way: getting drunk in the basement and falling in love all over again—with The Paper.
