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":"Dopey Wednesday: Heroin, Tatum O'Neal, John McEnroe, Recovery & the Knicks with Kevin McEnroe","slug":"dopey-wednesday-heroin-tatum-o-neal-john-mcenroe-recovery-the-knicks-with-kevin-mcenroe","published_at":"2026-06-10T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/dopey-wednesday-heroin-tatum-o-neal-john-mcenroe-recovery-the-knicks-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/ed05e733-9f68-45ab-a355-9100e97c64e9/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=ed05e733-9f68-45ab-a355-9100e97c64e9&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamps 0:02 – Dopey Wednesday theme song 1:03 – Welcome to Dopey Wednesday 1:30 – Kevin McEnroe returns after the Emergency Knicks episode 2:10 – Knicks loss, Steve Poltz, and Spurs fans in Dopey Nation 2:50 – Listener asks Dave how he quit smoking 5:50 – Dave on cigarettes, withdrawal, prayer, gum, candy, and recovery tools 7:50 – Gordon from London writes in 8:15 – Childhood “travel medicine” turns out to be Valium 9:20 – Accidentally doing heroin in Paris 10:40 – Emails, voicemails, socks, and stickers 11:25 – Patreon comments from the Michael Muniz episode 13:00 – Phoenix House jokes, Dopey Zoom, and Go Knicks 15:25 – Emergency Knicks Patreon comments 17:50 – Kevin McEnroe joins the show 18:30 – Kevin on writing, tennis, and morning routines 20:10 – Prayer, getting on your knees, and willingness 22:50 – Being John McEnroe’s son and teaching tennis 24:30 – Sobriety, bartending, nightlife, and old drug environments 27:00 – Tennis as “healthy bartending” 28:00 – Kevin on accepting the McEnroe name 30:30 – Kevin guards Joakim Noah in high school 32:20 – Turning 40 after surviving addiction 33:20 – Kevin’s worst years in LA and Brooklyn 35:30 – Dave on heroin, custody, court, and shame 37:50 – Dave’s half-measures before AA 40:45 – Dutch Wonderland, Xanax, Klonopin, and the Amy Winehouse documentary 43:30 – Dave finally surrenders in AA 44:45 – Kevin’s relapse, isolation, heroin delivery, and treatment 48:30 – Kevin’s mother and addiction 50:30 – Tatum O’Neal’s stroke, sobriety, and recovery 51:30 – Dopey Zoom chaos: meth, drug court, and real recovery 52:45 – Kevin buying groceries for his mom 53:30 – The legendary 21 yogurts story 55:30 – Listener asks for stickers and mentions crushing pills 56:30 – Kevin on snorting pills and Roxy 30s 58:00 – Hells Angels bar st…","meta_description":"Timestamps 0:02 – Dopey Wednesday theme song 1:03 – Welcome to Dopey Wednesday 1:30 – Kevin McEnroe returns after the Emergency Knicks episode 2:10 – Knic…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4291,"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-wednesday-heroin-tatum-o-neal-john-mcenroe-recovery-the-knicks-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/dopey-wednesday-heroin-tatum-o-neal-john-mcenroe-recovery-the-knicks-with-kevin-mcenroe.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
