Happy 1 Year to Heather! Happy 1 Year to Jen S. If you want your anniversary read on the show send in an email or voicemail to [email protected] DOPEYCON 2025 TICKETS: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/1765668 Recorded in Park City, Utah with IDGAF Foods. Early years: depression at 5, sitting in closets listening to sad piano records. Smoked crack at 15 in Manchester, CT; identity formed instantly around drugs. Early hustle: fake Adidas hat re-sewn to say “Acid.” Buckets of Molly + shards of ketamine cooked in Pyrex from “Kahlua bottles.” First rehab: snorted Suboxone → precipitated withdrawal. Florida halfway house: wanted to be a junkie, left after 4 months → straight to Berkfest (moe., Deep Banana Blackout). Shit stories: swallowing balloons of dope, digging through shit for crack, OCD washing. Scam hustles: told people cops pulled him over so he “threw the drugs out the window”; pocketed their money. Lucky streak: claims he walked out of a house during a raid untouched. Never arrested. $500/day habit in Utah: black tar heroin, 30s, crack. Stevie Ray Vaughan was a huge inspiration in recovery. Quit cold turkey 2012 with small methadone taper + psych med detox. Quit cigs too. Art saves him: digital psychedelic covers, NFT side hustle, album covers for Disco Biscuits, Dean DeLeo, Juanes & Alessia Cara (held up by Jimmy Fallon). Birth of IDGAF Foods: stopped obsessing over “food shamers,” used OCD to create viral bits (7-Eleven hot dog twinkle, oat milk, raw bacon sashimi). Oatly threatened him legally; he responded, “Sounds like you said thank you incorrectly.” Now: refuses to monetize account. Messages from addicts are the real currency.

This week on Dopey we celebrate Dopes Heather and Jen! Both with ONE YEAR! We read some emails and I got to sit down with the legend! IDGAF Foods (aka the guy behind eating hot dogs off the floor on Instagram) for a brutally honest trip through his addiction, art, and recovery. From smoking crack at 15 in Manchester, CT, to guzzling buckets of Molly and shards of ketamine out of Kahlua bottles, to swallowing and later digging through his own shit for balloons of drugs, his story is a nonstop circus of chaos. He dodged arrests, hustled Oxy 80s and Hartford heroin, spent $500 a day chasing tar and Roxies in Utah, and somehow never got caught.
Out of the madness came art: digital psychedelia, album covers for major bands, and eventually his IDGAF Foods account—where eating sketchy food became exposure therapy and a way to help addicts. Along the way: scam hustles, OCD hand-washing, sitting in trees at parties to dodge cops, exposure therapy with oat milk, Jimmy Fallon holding up his artwork, and a grandmother calling him an idiot. Now clean since 2012, he’s turned the insanity into purpose, with IDGAF Foods helping people avoid relapse by saying “Don’t Be a Fucking Pussy.”
All that and more on this brand new episode of that good old Dopey Show!
