Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

Timestamp Notes 00:00 - 01:18 Classic Dopey intro audio and opening sound collage. 01:18 - 03:16 Dave introduces the Total Replay and says this one is Dopey 19: Smoking on Plane, Jeremy’s first appearance on the show. 03:16 - 05:41 Dave gives Jeremy backstory: childhood friendship, smoking weed together, psychedelics, heroin with Todd, Jeremy moving to LA, and how close they were growing up. 05:41 - 06:47 Dave plugs Patreon, Dopeywood, and says part of the money will go to the Dopey nonprofit. He invites struggling listeners to email the show. 06:47 - 10:10 Dave reads Spotify comments, including comments about Alex, Burning Man piss drinking, the Dopey Fitness Challenge, psych ward behavior, and a listener named Justin being sober for a year and a half. 10:10 - 10:25 Dave shouts out the Dopeywood lineup: Marc Maron, Margaret Cho, Bobby Lee, Sam Miller, Darrell Hammond, Zach Noe Towers, Allie Mikovsky, special guests, his dad, Jeremy, and more. 10:25 - 15:55 Voicemail from Dade: Hoard Festival / Spiritualized story, underage drinking, sneaking into a 21+ show, getting marked all over with Xs, getting stung by a bee, puking on the side of the road, and getting arrested in North Carolina for driving after having drunk alcohol within 24 hours. 15:55 - 17:39 Dave reacts to Dade’s voicemail, shouts out Gregory Colson from Spiritualized, and asks listeners to send photos and media with their stories. 17:39 - 19:59 Replay begins. Dave, Chris, and Jeremy introduce the episode. They talk about the lights being off, guest nerves, and Jeremy being late. 19:59 - 21:55 Jeremy explains his broken EZ Pass routine and how he keeps inconveniencing people instead of fixing it. Dave compares him to his own 14-year-old self. 21:55 - 24:20 They joke about lost tapes, Jeremy’s name being mispronounced, and old stories from LA. 24:20 - 25:54 They talk about Jeremy kicking Dave out of his house because there was too much blood in the bathroom from shooting dope. 25:54 - 28:12 Jeremy talks about his own drug history: weed, benzos, heroin, pills, some coke, but says pot was the drug he liked most. He describes heroin as something you fall into and never want to get out of. 28:12 - 29:28 Jeremy explains why he stopped: getting sick while doing a touring production of Charlotte’s Web, throwing up around his mother, and seeing too many red flags. 29:28 - 30:34 Dave and Chris talk about addiction, negative consequences, and how addicts use despite consequences and then to cope with those same consequences. 30:34 - 32:45 They talk about Dave moving into Jeremy’s LA house after rehab, living with Todd and a crystal meth addict roommate, and how weed still counted as “clean” in their minds back then. 32:45 - 35:58 Jeremy tells the Todd story: Todd hid in his blacked-out room with a grow setup and escaped out the window and drove away rather than say hello to Jeremy’s visiting parents. 35:58 - 37:03 Setup for Jeremy’s main story: “Smoking on Plane.” 37:03 - 38:13 Jeremy explains he was studying at RADA in London, got hit by a minivan two or three days before flying home, and frames it like he had good karma banked. 38:13 - 40:15 Jeremy says he had some weed left in London and decides the “perfect plan” is to board the plane, hide his stuff, go into the bathroom, and smoke a joint before takeoff. 40:15 - 42:23 Jeremy describes lighting the joint in the airplane bathroom, trying to hide the smoke, hearing announcements to return to seats, rushing to finish it, and opening the door into a cloud of smoke. 42:23 - 44:34 A flight attendant confronts him. Jeremy lies and says it was a cigarette, despite the bathroom being covered in no-smoking signs. 44:34 - 46:42 The head stewardess pulls him aside and tells him he could have blown up the plane if he flushed it while they were refueling. She also says passengers smelled pot. Jeremy claims it was an herbal cigarette and somehow gets away with it. 46:42 - 49:02 Post-story riffing: nicotine patch prank on a sleeping friend, cats eating mushrooms, animals and drugs, and old drug stupidity. 49:02 - 50:08 Jeremy leaves. Quick goodbyes and joking sign-off. 50:08 - 51:25 Dave reflects on how old Dopey was more about comedy, chaos, and bombast than feelings, triumph, and growth. 51:25 - 53:00 Dave gives out the Save Spot number for overdose response, plugs customstickers.com, Patreon, Dopeywood, and upcoming Dopey merch featuring the Sonoran Desert Toad. 53:00 - 53:59 Dave teases a possible future guest named Cece, says she has the goods, and asks listeners to send in thoughts, stories, and emails. 53:59 - 01:02:56 Music and outro audio, including Brer Brian Homer and “Good So Bad.”
