Show notes
This week on Dopey! We kick off 2026 with a Thursday replay of one of his all-time favorites—the legendary Steve Poltz’s epic first appearance from 2023, packed with altar boy wine thefts, Rugburns stage-wrecking chaos (56 stitches included), mushroom-fueled job quits, co-writing “You Were Meant for Me” with Jewel in Baja Mexico, Ramones opener mayhem, cocaine/crack spirals, a best friend’s tragic murder, and ultimate rehab surrender. Dave reflects on Poltz as a true “blessing” to the show and his life, debates sticking with Five Days of Dopey, reads wild listener comments (meth pee anyone?), shares an Australian dad’s white-knuckle sobriety struggles, and drops quick recovery tips while prepping lasagna for Linda’s mom’s 80th. All that and more on this brand new 2 year old replay show of that good old dopey show!
