FILM FESTIVAL TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Summary On this Dopey Monday Total Replay, Dave looks back at Dopey Episode 28, one of the strangest and creepiest early episodes of the show. It features Dave, Chris, and graphic-design Ryan — the guy who made the original Dopey logo — talking through old Lower East Side drug energy, the first major Dopey fan emails, weird ego stuff, drug stories, recovery, Rob Reiner, Nick Reiner, and a whole lot of eerie foreshadowing. Dave reflects on how painful it is to hear Chris again, knowing he died in 2018, and uses the episode to make a simple but brutal point: if Chris had stayed in recovery, he probably wouldn't have died. The replay itself is classic early Dopey: messy, funny, dark, uncomfortable, and weirdly prophetic. Ryan tells a story about refusing to leave a drug pickup even after a guy puts a gun to his head. Chris talks about addiction, genetics, rats drinking heroin water, and recovery. Dylan randomly calls in right as Dave is talking about Dylan from 90210, which feels like Dopey synchronicity. The episode also includes the first big fan email from Tina in Philadelphia, Dave getting wounded by being called “Dan,” and a long, now-haunting conversation about Rob Reiner and Nick Reiner before Nick ever appeared on Dopey. It's funny, painful, and very Dopey. PLUS Drugs, addiction and dumb shit on the new/old 10 year anniversary of this episode!(of Dopey)   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailYour running plan might be missing the one thing that makes everything else work: strength. I'm joined by strength coach and entrepreneur Chris Ryan, and we get honest about what actually helps runners stay healthy, improve form, and keep chasing goals without getting stuck in the injury cycle.Chris shares his path from competitive sports and Division I track to the real-world turning point many athletes face: recurring injuries, shifting priorities, and the need to build a life beyond competition. From corporate finance to entrepreneurship to coaching in New York, he explains how discipline and consistency transfer across every arena. We also talk about what he loves most as a coach: helping people build self-respect through small, repeatable wins that compound over time.Then we get practical for endurance athletes. We break down why many runners struggle when they only “pound the pavement,” why surface choice matters, and how adding controlled intensity can improve running economy and posture. Chris makes a strong case for strength training for runners, including why the trap bar deadlift is such a powerful tool for building force and resilience without chasing muscle size. We also cover mobility and prehab staples like tibialis raises, ankle and calf work, and hip mobility patterns that support better mechanics.We even zoom in on nutrition with a simple lens: the “liquid diet” problem, from alcohol to sugar-loaded coffee drinks, and how cleaning that up can change energy, recovery, and body composition fast. If you want smarter training, fewer aches, and a plan you can actually stick to, press play, subscribe, and share this with a runner who refuses to lift.

Building Strength, Community, and Long-Term Fitness w/ Chris Ryan Description: What if the real key to fitness isn't intensity, motivation, or discipline, but sustainability? In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor sits down with Chris Ryan, a former Division I track and field athlete turned coach and entrepreneur who has spent years helping people build a healthier, more consistent relationship with movement. Through Chris Ryan Fitness, Chris has built a community centered around the idea that fitness should be accessible, enjoyable, and something people can maintain for life, not just during short bursts of motivation. In this conversation, Taylor and Chris explore the deeper lessons that physical training can teach us about consistency, identity, and resilience. They talk about the difference between motivation and sustainable habits, how community can dramatically influence long-term health, and why the most powerful changes often come from small routines repeated over time. Together they discuss: • Why motivation alone rarely leads to lasting fitness • The mindset shift from short-term results to long-term health • The role community plays in sustaining consistency • How movement can build confidence and emotional resilience To get the support your health and fitness business deserves, click the link to find out how you can be a part of the Growth Circle community. https://www.impactinitiative.network/services/growth-circle Free weekly guidance, insight, and tools for health and fitness entrepreneurs: The Business of Coaching - https://taylor75.substack.com/
