Drugs, Addiction and Dumb Shit with Dave from Dopey Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

Episode 63. If you listen to our show you're probably already familiar with Dopey, "the podcast about drugs, addiction, and dumb shit." This week we got Dopey's host Dave on the phone to talk each of those things. Plus, death, methadone, good tweaker/junkie snacks, self-delusion, hustling for a fix, pushing daisies and the power of sharing these stories. Apologies in advance for the audio quality. We had to do this one over a 5-way phone which introduced a host of new problems. But it's a great episode other ways that we're excited to share. Enjoy!

Raves, Meth and Ayahuasca with Eddie Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

Episode 62. Wow. This is an epic tale. Each time we thought he hit bottom he just managed to make things worse. From casual drinking and blowing off steam after work, to immersing himself in 1990s LA rave scene and spiraling downward into meth. Gang warfare and mind-loosening psychedelic trips followed until he finally crashed and burned. All in the course of just a couple years. Eddie finally overcame his demons during an ayahuasca trip in Brazil. Which helped him restart his career as an animator and find stability and family life. Thanks for joining us Eddie.

Shrooms, Beer and Jäger with Kelly from Ohio Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Episode 60. After blacking out the first time drinking, Kelly stuck (mostly) to weed and psychedelics through high school, then returned to alcohol at 21 and mixed them to some success...but mostly: Taco Bell DUIs, ruined relationships, mile high club while technically still on the clock (billed as travel day), wigging out on too much acid, Miller light and Jäger bombs. Kelly is a long-time listener who reached by email with some stories to tell. Enjoy.

Art, Acid and Anarchy with Ian Swordy Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

Episode 57. This week we have a very different picture of New York. Ian Swordy escaped his wasp-y, Long Island upbringing in pursuit of punk rock, partying and political anarchy in the late 90s/early aughts. And while everyone around him got their legs snapped along the way, Ian seemed to coast through it all on a plate of blueberry pancakes and a message from God. That is until the message ran out. Ian eventually found himself alone, broke and wasted, waiting for someone who was never coming back. Today Ian—an artist—is 2 years sober and works un-ironically at a craft brewery in Bushwick. He has a new book out which you purchase from his site (below) along with his sculptures. Thanks for listening.

Graffiti and Family with Charlie the Hustler Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Episode 56. Charlie Hustle has earned himself a reputation as a wild-man, savage, graffiti savant. Raised by alcoholic parents in Brooklyn and then Staten Island, CH fell in love with graffiti by the 3rd grade. It gave him a community and a brotherhood that helped him navigate finding his own identity. But as New York changed under Giuliani in the 1990s, that community quickly escalated to violence, PCP every day and over 100 arrests in and out of Rikers Island. By 20, Charlie discovered recovery in Arizona where he unrolled in acting classes at a community college. But then there was relapse, more violence, more arrests, taking on white leaders in the Mojave Desert prison system, and finally applying to halfway houses in Florida without medical insurance and bit-by-bit turning it around. Charlie has seen it all. Today he has 6 months sober and is happily settled in the Massachusetts countryside.

When the Cocaine was Good with Susannah Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

Episode 55. So good that you'd get diarrhea just saying it's name. Hollywood in the 1980s. Our guest this week is Susannah, an old production friend of Keith's who went through the wringer of cocaine and alcohol addiction until she sent herself headlong into a coma and finally got the wake-up call she needed. (A ghostly visit from her deceased mother helped too.) This November she'll have 15 years sober and is ready to conquer the world in her 50s.

Honeybuns and Fifi Bags with William S. Hayes Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

Episode 54. Burden of Concrete, the new book by William S. ("Scotty") Hayes is a harrowing account of his life. His tale begins with his teenage years and a brief foray into juvenile hall, then on to the county jail. By the early ‘90s, in the midst of an exploding Seattle music scene, he falls victim to the scourge of heroin addiction. The chaotic lifestyle that ensues thrusts him into a world of concrete: polluted cells and streets.
We talk with Scotty and his friend Renee about the wizardry of boosting, prison politics, Honeybuns, Fifi bags, Krokodil, ball-scraping, butt cheek-spreading, and everything in between.
You can purchase Burden of Concrete on Amazon
