Episode Description:
Buckle up, Dopey Nation—this one’s a wild ride. Dylan returns to the show, and we get deep into the messiness of recovery: Is 12-step the only way? Can something else work? Does Dylan even want to build something new? It’s a classic Dopey-style conversation—raw, honest, and full of uncertainty.

Then, we get a next-level Dopey moment: a cleaning lady unknowingly eats a whole bar of mushroom chocolate, trips her face off, and leaves some of the most horrifying (and hilarious) voicemails we’ve ever heard.

But that’s not all. TV host and podcaster Kat Greenleaf stops by to talk about her version of recovery, her very personal views on "mouthfeel," and a psychedelic experience that supposedly did 30 years of therapy in one night. Plus, she shares the shocking truth about what she really loves to put in her mouth—and it’s not what you think.

Somehow, we squeeze in shoutouts, ads, and a surprise Pee-wee Herman connection. It’s a jam-packed, totally unhinged episode of Dopey.

Biggest Takeaways:

• Dylan wrestles with the idea of alternative recovery models—does he want to build one, or is he just doing Dopey?
• 12-step’s structure may be flawed, but it’s survived nearly a century without scandals or profit motives, which is rare in the recovery world.
• A cleaning lady’s accidental mushroom trip is both horrifying and peak Dopey chaos.
• Kat Greenleaf gets very candid about her oral fixation (in more ways than one).
• Psychedelic therapy might be the future—or just an excuse to get high in a controlled setting.
• Pee-wee Herman was secretly a huge Katz’s fan and a sober ally.
• Don’t leave drug-infused treats where unsuspecting people might eat them.

Final Notes:
