Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T18:17:38.778026+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100"},"episode":{"title":"ADDICTED TO THE KNICKS - EMERGENCY KNICKS PODCAST WITH KEVIN MCENROE","slug":"addicted-to-the-knicks-emergency-knicks-podcast-with-kevin-mcenroe","published_at":"2026-06-03T21:48:04+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/addicted-to-the-knicks-emergency-knicks-podcast-with-kevin-mcenroe","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100","url":"https://www.dopeypodcast.com","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/injector.simplecastaudio.com/2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897/episodes/4214f2ac-3e23-429b-ac46-80d58e0746a8/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=4214f2ac-3e23-429b-ac46-80d58e0746a8&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamp Notes 00:00 Dave introduces the emergency Knicks episode with Kevin McEnroe and pitches the idea of Addicted to the Knicks / KA. 01:15 Kevin talks about being “hooked on the Knicks” before drugs and how Knicks fandom became one of the first things he truly lived and died by. 02:16 Kevin connects Knicks fandom to sobriety — rituals, obsession, hope, and learning to embrace that part of himself again. 03:00 Dave talks about the Dopey audience slowly becoming Knicks fans through his insanity. 03:25 Kevin describes NYC buzzing with Knicks energy — orange and blue, subway nods, camaraderie, “Let’s go Knicks.” 03:55 Dave connects the Knicks Finals to his own timeline: 27 years ago he was on heroin, now he’s 52 and sober. 04:25 Kevin talks about losing the ability to care during addiction and getting that childhood sports purity back in recovery. 04:50 Kevin tells his first Knicks memory: going to a game with his dad and brother in 1995. 06:00 Kevin recalls leaving early with his dad and hearing Reggie Miller score eight points in nine seconds from a cab. 07:15 Dave and Kevin talk Knicks superstition, merch rituals, and not wanting to jinx the team. 08:30 Dave remembers becoming a Knicks fan during the Pitino / Bomb Squad era with Trent Tucker, Mark Jackson, Gerald Wilkins, and Johnny Newman. 10:00 Kevin compares Knicks fandom to church, hope, fate, and something bigger than himself. 11:24 Dave tells the story of sneaking into Madison Square Garden during a Knicks/Bulls playoff game. 13:00 Dave tries multiple failed schemes to get into the Garden before finding an open door into the Paramount Theater. 14:20 A “greasy stoner kid” helps Dave and his friend sneak through the kitchen into MSG. 16:09 Dave says the Knicks didn’t win, but the experience became Knicks lore…","meta_description":"Timestamp Notes 00:00 Dave introduces the emergency Knicks episode with Kevin McEnroe and pitches the idea of Addicted to the Knicks / KA. 01:15 Kevin tal…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2687,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/episodes/addicted-to-the-knicks-emergency-knicks-podcast-with-kevin-mcenroe/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/addicted-to-the-knicks-emergency-knicks-podcast-with-kevin-mcenroe.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
