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":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100"},"episode":{"title":"Dopey's Greatest hits:  Steve Earle Got High at 11, Heroin, Prison, the Wire, PLUS the Return of My Dad","slug":"dopey-s-greatest-hits-steve-earle-got-high-at-11-heroin-prison-the-wire-plus-the-return-of-my-dad","published_at":"2026-04-16T18:48:11+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/dopey-s-greatest-hits-steve-earle-got-high-at-11-heroin-prison-the-wire-plus-the-return-of-my-dad","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/f6b5525c-af11-443a-b5ba-455c068b34a3/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=f6b5525c-af11-443a-b5ba-455c068b34a3&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"⏱️ FULL TIMESTAMPS (WITH END) 00:00 Dopey intro song + Dave in overheated apartment 02:30 Dopey Greatest Hits + Steve Earle wins Patreon poll 03:30 Dave’s dad returns + weather + life talk 06:30 Childhood memories + teaching + bowling trophy 09:00 Apartment, food, money, and aging rant 11:30 Studio vs dining room + setup talk 12:30 Dopeywood trip begins (flight, airport chaos) 16:00 Travel stories continue (upgrade, food, hotel) 18:30 LA wandering + Tar Pits + getting lost 21:00 Finally gets to Dopeywood 22:30 Entering Comedy Store + crowd + seating 24:30 Show breakdown + Steve Poltz + comedians 26:30 Criticism: raunchy humor + confusion 27:30 Crowd + Dopey Nation + turnout 29:30 Spotify comments segment 30:30 Listener email about politics + “kill ICE” discussion 34:00 More comments + Matt story reaction 35:00 Intro to Steve Earle replay 36:00 Knicks + Miles Davis tangent 41:00 Dopey Film Festival plug 44:00 Transition to Steve Earle episode 🎸 STEVE EARLE INTERVIEW 46:30 Dave introduces Steve Earle 48:00 Dopey setup + broken computer + life updates 50:00 Meetings + recovery mindset 52:00 Poppy seed email (pods + “vomit tea”) 55:00 Poppy seed voicemail (UK story, addiction escalation) 01:02:00 Sponsor read 01:04:30 Steve Earle intro (long-awaited guest) 01:06:00 Music, Dylan, Beatles, songwriting 01:09:00 Touring, band breakup, solo work 01:12:00 Theater + creative process 01:14:00 First drug use — age 11 01:15:00 Family addiction + AA roots 01:16:00+ Early music influences + uncle + guitar ~END (~1:20–1:25 depending on version) End of episode 🎯 SEO KEYWORDS (cut + paste) dopey podcast, steve earle interview, addiction podcast, recovery stories, heroin addiction, poppy seed tea addiction, opioid withdrawal, aa recovery, music and addiction, steve earle drugs, country mu…","meta_description":"⏱️ FULL TIMESTAMPS (WITH END) 00:00 Dopey intro song + Dave in overheated apartment 02:30 Dopey Greatest Hits + Steve Earle wins Patreon poll 03:30 Dave’s…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":9748,"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/dopey-s-greatest-hits-steve-earle-got-high-at-11-heroin-prison-the-wire-plus-the-return-of-my-dad/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/dopey-s-greatest-hits-steve-earle-got-high-at-11-heroin-prison-the-wire-plus-the-return-of-my-dad.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
