Jerry Stahl's Wild Ride: Addiction, Depression, and Dark Humor on Dopey

Being a dope thing is the most boring.
Ever wondered how someone can turn the darkest moments of their life into compelling stories? In this episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Chris finally sit down with Jerry Stahl, the acclaimed author and screenwriter behind the gritty memoir 'Permanent Midnight'. After nearly seven years of trying to get him on the show, Jerry dives into his intense journey through heroin addiction, depression, and the unique coping mechanisms he's developed along the way.
He also talks about his latest book, 'Nein, Nein, Nein!: One Man's Tale of Depression, Psychic Torment, and a Bus Tour of the Holocaust', which combines his trademark dark humor with deeply personal reflections. Adding to the episode's eclectic mix, Bee Getz shares a wild teenage LSD story live from the Park City Song Summit.
With a blend of raw honesty and unexpected laughs, this episode captures the essence of Dopey—finding humor in the absurdities of addiction while fostering a supportive community. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or just curious about the human experience, Jerry's story offers both insight and inspiration.
