English term or phrase: dopey stuff
It´s about a couple who just had a baby, and don´t seem to get along anymore.

"They’re gonna have to do the dopey stuff. They’re gonna have to do out once a week for three hours, where they can talk if they want to and don’t have to"

Explanation:
Outra sugestão

Entendi que esse casal vai ter que fazer esse papel de bobo uma vez por semana, ao ar livre, por três horas, por algum motivo que não fica claro pelo contexto (para enganar alguém, conseguir algum benefício, fingir que estão bem um com o outro, etc).

They’re gonna have to do the dopey stuff -> Eles vão ter que fingir de bobos
