Dopey Greatest Hits: The True Story of BLOW! George Jung, Poodle Valium & CRAZY TEXAS TWEAKING STORY! PLUS Stealing Drugs in Sweden VM!

March 12, 2026·1 hr 59 min·4 clips

After being hit by a car, losing everything, and waking up bleeding - his first thought was still about getting a cigarette.

This Greatest Hits episode features the legendary George Young (fictionalized in film 'Blow') discussing his cocaine smuggling operations, plus a lengthy caller's (Dylan's) harrowing meth-fueled odyssey through Texas, nearly hit by a car and rescued by coincidence at a church. Also includes Kirby's story about stealing her friend's poodle's Valium. The thread connecting all narratives: how addiction creates surreal, darkly comedic situations where consequences are secondary to the next high.
