This Week on Dopey! After many many years of trying we finally are joined by Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter, author, actor, activist, advocate and more - Steve Earle! Steve comes on the show and tells us how he stumbled into his rock and roll life, and how he found drugs, addiction and ultimately recovery. Many years into his recovery the worst happened - Steve's super talented son, Justin Townes Earle died from a fentanyl overdose. Steve tells the tragic story and how he has remained sober living with such pain

PLUS we have a special guest who hates to be named, my Dad, and emails and voicemails and reviews on a heartbreaking new episode of Dopey.

More on Dopey:

Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. 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!
