 www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This Week on Dopey! Billy Mother Fucking Strings comes on to share his truth! But first Dave meditates, reads spotify reviews, reads an email about premature ejaculation, and a voicemail from Dopey OG Alex on meth, fent and needing makeup! Then Billy joins Dave on Dopey to talk openly about addiction shaping his entire life—from his dad dying of a heroin overdose when he was two, to growing up in houses full of meth use, crack dealers, and chaos, to smoking meth and tripping on acid with his mom as a teenager. He describes leaving home at 13, couch surfing, dropping out of school, playing in metal bands, smoking crack, and eventually getting pulled back toward bluegrass.Billy talks about how his parents' addiction destroyed stability, how meth “fucked everything up” in his hometown, how he stayed awake for four-day binges while playing guitar with his dad, and what finally made him leave. He also describes the first time he did heroin, why he stopped drinking nine years ago, and how addiction still affects him through dreams and cravings.He reflects deeply on his mother's recent death from methamphetamine intoxication, discovering his dad was using too, attending Al-Anon meetings, reading his mom's poems, and trying to break the cycle for his own son. He also talks about touring arenas, the pressure of success, therapy, panic attacks, being molested as a child, and wanting to help others impacted by addiction.All that and much more on a wall to wall traumatic tale of how secrets can make us sick! This week and forever on the good old Dopey show!Happy Thanksgiving! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Admiral Bill McRaven joins Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) for episode 379 of Independent Americans, diving deep into America's leadership crisis, political toxicity, and how core values shape our future. This is the guy we all need to hear from RIGHT NOW. Navy SEAL, former Commander of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), former Chancellor of the Texas University System, Best Selling Author, grandfather, Trump critic and patriotic voice of reason. And the man who in 2019 wrote an old titled “Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President" and in an open letter to Trump in 2018: "Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency." Drawing on decades of command and real-world experience, McRaven cuts through the headlines like a knife—and offers sharp guidance for navigating chaos—whether in politics, the military, or your family table. And especially on this Friday when it feels like the world is on fire.  This episode covers national security, the importance of education as the true foundation for stability, sports, and why hope and community matter most now. If you feel politically homeless, want real leadership lessons, or just crave clarity from a voice that's been in the arena, this conversation delivers. It's a true example of a leader who is staying vigilant, staying independent, and showing how America's best can still lead the way.​ Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

In a week where political rhetoric reaches new levels of danger and America's legal system braces for impact, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) sits down with the show's resident legal heavyweight Asha Rangappa (FBI veteran, Yale professor, Substack baller) for an unfiltered, expert breakdown of the legal issues and headlines setting America aflame. Asha returns to help us parse Trump's escalating and dangerous “seditious” threats to Democrat lawmakers who posted a video to the troops, the legality of US military interventions (like controversial drug boat strikes), and how lawmakers' messaging to servicemembers and ongoing military operations could spark unprecedented legal and political crises. And, bringing insight and humor, Asha shares personal stories of navigating American colleges as both parent and professor, her unique role in interpreting military law, and why she loves the TV show “Love is Blind.”  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

Federal hemp crackdown, gas station gummies, and THC alphabet soup, all rolled into one Sesh.In this episode, Brandon and Jesse spark up some loud Larry OG and unpack what the new federal move to pull “minor” cannabinoids off the shelves really means, not for lobbyists, but for the people actually eating these gummies and hitting these pens.You hear a lot about “Delta this, THC that,” but nobody explains who gets safer and who just gets pushed deeper into the shadows. So we do.What we get intoWhat the feds are trying to ban next year, including delta 8, THC O, HHC, THCP and other synthetic hemp cannabinoids that get you liftedWhy most of these lab-cooked cannabinoids feel nothing like whole plant cannabis, and why real consumers rarely touch gas station “hemp highs”The THCa loophole, how companies ship “legal weed” through the mail, and why the farm bill accidentally created a nationwide grey marketHow bans on flavored nicotine vapes, spice, kratom and now synthetic cannabinoids keep pushing people toward sketchier, unregulated productsWhy kids are not walking into Chevron to buy these products, and how lawmakers keep legislating optics instead of outcomesThe difference between regulation and prohibition, and how overtaxing and overregulating cannabis states like California actually feed the black marketA real talk side quest on psilocybin as a sacred tool, not a party favor, and what integration looks like after a heavy journeyNarcan vending machines, cough syrup highs, Sudafed IDs, and the weird lengths people go just to feel somethingQuestions we throw at each other, and at youDoes banning cannabinoids like HHC, THC O or THCP actually make anyone safer, or does it just crank up curiosity and push it undergroundShould ultra-potent cannabinoids ever be on gas station shelves, or only in tightly regulated medical settingsIs THCa really different from “normal” cannabis in any way that matters, or is it just a label game that lets some states pretend it is not weedWill this hemp crackdown empty shelves next year, or will we just see THC 10, THC 11 and THC “whatever is still legal” pop up insteadIf you live in a hemp only state, what does this change for you, and do you end up safer, screwed, or just more confusedIf you have ever grabbed a random “hemp gummy” from a smoke shop, live in a state with no legal cannabis, or know someone who thinks delta 8 is “diet weed,” this episode gives you the context nobody at the counter is telling you. We are not fearmongering, we are just tired of people getting wrecked by products that exist purely because our laws are written by people who do not understand the plant or the culture.This one is for anyone stuck in the loopholes.Save on Dr Dabber with Code: Cannabisschool10Save on Storz & Bickel with Code : CannabisschoolSave on Santa Cruz Shredder with Code: CSP10Save on Bomb Erigs with Code: CSPScore 100 on your test

Legendary NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman returns to Independent Americans for a timely, unflinching conversation about war, truth, journalism, and the future of our democracy. Hosted by Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff), this episode pulls back the curtain on major national security stories the mainstream press can't or won't cover—from the White House's escalating battle against independent media, to looming military action in Venezuela, to how Pentagon secrecy impacts the lives of American troops and families. Tom and Paul dive deep into today's threats to press freedom, why he handed in his credentials after 28 years, the realities of military reporting post-Iraq and Afghanistan, and what these changes mean for everyday Americans. They also discuss how massive Trump-led Congressional cuts are hitting NPR and PBS, the winning ways of the New England Patriots and Oregon Ducks, parenting, and why hope—and vigilance—matter more than ever.

Hey there, groove rebels, light one up and crank it loud. In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're blazing through songs about weed. From Willie Nelson's outlaw anthems to Snoop Dogg's chronic classics, the Grateful Dead's tie-dye jams, and Cypress Hill's hazy hits, pot's been music's smoky sidekick for decades. But we're not just name-dropping—we're digging deep into tracks that tell America's weed story as it's gone from counter culture to more mainstream – and legal – form of recreation. Back in the Harlem Renaissance, jazz cats were puffing and playing, turning reefer into rhythm. Then it was counterculture fuel—think ‘60s stoners flipping the bird to the law. Now?

Today's conversation features Lionel Moses—family man, veteran of Desert Storm, coach, and author of The Marriage Seed. We dig into relationship mastery across home and work: self-awareness over blame, trust over suspicion, and communication that lands (not just "gets said"). 3 Main Takeaways Start with self. Lasting change begins by checking beliefs, tone, and patterns before judging a partner. Choose trust over suspicion. Misunderstandings shrink when curiosity and clarity lead the interaction. Weed the garden, consistently. Relationships thrive when small problems are pulled early—over and over.     Three Core Topics (with timestamps, explanations, and quotes) Self-Responsibility > Perfection Hunting (05:52–06:39; 11:11–12:14) Timestamp: 05:52 — 06:39 Why it matters: Recognizing that minds change proves self-knowledge evolves. Extending the same grace to a partner transforms conflict from judgment to teamwork. Perfection tests (ROCD, nitpicking) block real connection; openness creates possibility. Notable quote: "If you change your mind, that proves you disagree with your old self… give grace for your partner." (05:52–06:39) Trust Over Suspicion (14:37–15:16; 15:38–16:25) Timestamp: 14:37 — 15:16 Why it matters: Many "communication problems" are interpretation gaps. Filling those gaps with trust, not suspicion, stabilizes connection and keeps dialogue constructive—even after past hurt. Flexing rigid checklists into "openness to possibilities" prevents discarding viable partners for trivial reasons. Notable quote: "When you're trying to establish a relationship, you have to really know how to fill in those gaps of misunderstanding with trust versus suspicion." (14:37–15:16) Tone, Pauses, and the Garden Rule (18:45–20:10; 08:06–08:48; 31:00–31:38; 32:34–32:53) Timestamp: 18:45 — 20:10 Why it matters: Tone is a reflex—and often invisible until heard back. Recording and replaying increases awareness, making it easier to shift delivery. Pair this with the "dung grows things" and "measure twice, cut once" mindset: expect mess, pause before reacting, and remove small weeds quickly to protect what's growing. Notable quotes: • "Most people… don't like their own tone. When they hear it, it annoys them enough to make the change." (19:24–20:08) • "One of the best fertilizers you can have is dung." (08:06–08:48) • "Measure twice, cut once." (31:00–31:38) + "That's a learned behavior." (32:34–32:53)     Extra Gems (fast timestamps) Boundary + buy-in at work: Relationship habits bleed into teams; clarity and care increase performance. (27:09–29:44) Weed therapy: Pull issues up by the roots, repeatedly. (25:52–26:06) Win-win-win frame: Healthy partnerships benefit the two people and the world around them.

We're back with part two of Paul Rieckhoff's (@PaulRieckhoff) epic conversation with punk rock icon, activist, and truth-teller Henry Rollins in this raw, urgent, and fiercely independent discussion of the true cost of war, creative protest, and the power of showing up. From the lessons of helping injured veterans to finding hope through art and community, Henry pulls no punches as he shares his experience, challenges the powerful, and reflects on his years supporting those who serve. Rollins and Rieckhoff dissect America's current crises—from Venezuela and new wars to the attacks on creativity and the White House Rose Garden—offering insight, humor, and a roadmap for staying vigilant and human in hard times.

Auburn freaks out after Border Patrol uses cameras to supposedly catch criminal illegal immigrants. There is new video of the arrest of the man who impersonated as a Bremerton police officer. King County shut down over a dozen unpermitted food vendors during Monday’s Seahawks game. // Weed use among young Washingtonians is more prevalent than ever. // The Left is losing its mind over Trump making some modest renovations to the White House.

Today's Headlines: The government's still shut down—but hey, the Senate finally passed a funding package, which now heads to the House so they can, you know, maybe reopen the country. The deal only funds things until January and gives Democrats a pinky promise to hold a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies next month. Meanwhile, hidden inside the bill is a clause letting senators sue the government for $500,000 if their phone records were searched in the January 6th probe. There's also a proposal to recriminalize THC and hemp-derived products, which would basically nuke a $30 billion industry overnight. The Supreme Court just extended the Trump administration's ability to block SNAP payments through Thursday, so… no rush on feeding people. Elsewhere, the House is finally about to have enough signatures to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files once Adelita Grijalva finally gets sworn in today. But don't get too excited—it probably won't happen until December, if ever. Trump, meanwhile, is asking the Supreme Court to toss out the $5 million he owes E. Jean Carroll, and one of his pardoned Jan. 6 guys just got re-arrested for kidnapping and sexual assault. So that's going great. Overseas, the BBC is melting down after an independent report found major bias issues and a Hamas-adjacent narrator situation. Two execs have already resigned, and Trump's threatening to sue them for $1 billion because a documentary made him look bad (like, worse than usual). And in D.C., plastic surgeons say “Mar-a-Lago face” is the latest cosmetic trend—apparently, looking filler-blind is in. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Axios: Senate passes package to end record government shutdown MSNBC: Republicans use spending bill to empower themselves to sue over phone records searches The Hill: Federal THC ban send hemp companies scrambling CBS News: Democrat Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in 7 weeks after winning House election Axios: Trump asks Supreme Court to toss $5 million E. Jean verdict NY Post: Former Jan. 6 defendant who shot gun in air during Capitol riot charged with kidnapping and sexual assault? Telegraph: US may deny visas for fat foreigners Telegraph: BBC's bias ‘pushed Hamas lies around the world' WSJ: BBC Director General and News Chief Resign After Criticism of Editorial Practices Axios: DC plastic surgeons getting "Mar-a-Lago face" requests from Trump insiders Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

They tackle everything from current headlines to personal discipline, empathy, and standing up to extremism. Rieckhoff and Rollins dissect Trump, Fetterman, Venezuela, and how music, community, and the spirit of inclusion can battle America's most toxic divisions.

Retired U.S. Army General Mark Hertling returns for a must-hear conversation with host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff), just in time for Veterans Day and the Marine Corps birthday. As America faces political gridlock, rising division, a historic government shutdown, and critical questions about military readiness, Gen. Hertling offers hard-hitting analysis and real-world leadership lessons that matter now more than ever. Dive deep into the state of American values, why leadership and character still count, the collapse and comeback potential of the Democrats, and why drone warfare—and the Pentagon's internal purges—matter to all of us. Plus: Paul and the General break down the most important under-covered stories in Washington and around the world, from Venezuela military action to Ukraine's frontline tactics with drones, with candor and context you won't get anywhere else.

This week, High Society Radio goes full “Gulag Digital” as Chris Faga and Chris Stanley dive into collapsing social contracts, failed politicians, and the absurd state of modern AI. From Cuomo's alternate universe and Zohran Mamdani's political theatrics to Dick Cheney's final headline, the boys cover politics, tech, and conspiracy in equal measure. There's talk of Gitmo gift shops, AI bubbles bursting, and MrBeast's soul—if he even has one.

This week, we're taking a closer look at US v. Hemani. Last week, we had Second Amendment scholar David Kopel on to discuss the big picture of the upcoming Supreme Court term. The week before that, we had gun-rights lawyer Alan Beck on the show to discuss his Supreme Court case, Wolford v. Lopez.  Now, we're looking at the other Second Amendment case with a man who has followed the issue at its center: Reason Magazine's Jacob Sullum. That issue? Marijuana users possessing firearms. Sullum explained that the federal ban on drug users owning guns potentially impacts millions of Americans. He noted it is rarely actually enforced, but he said the possibility hangs over people in nearly 40 states. He argued that's why Hemani's case could have huge implications nationwide. However, he noted Hemani's case is more complicated than a straightforward weed and guns prosecution. Even though the charge is only related to Hemani's marijuana use, Sullum said the government has accused him of much worse--including terror-related crimes. He said the crossover between drugs and guns could scramble the usual dynamics of the Court, but that's no guarantee. Special Guest: Jacob Sullum.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bruce Bugbee to discuss what modern plant science is revealing about how we grow today.

If you're passionate about plant science and want to understand the real factors driving growth and quality, this episode is a must-watch.Support the show

Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff)  welcomes back the dynamic, outspoken sports and culture powerhouse Joy Taylor (@joytaylortalks) for a raw, timely, and uplifting Football Friday. In an America buffeted by division, a government shutdown, and mounting mental health struggles, Joy and Paul unpack the meaning behind vulnerability, authenticity, sports as society's mirror, and the persistent magic of hope. With candid reflections on personal mental health journeys, the identity crisis gripping American culture, and why moments of community—like football—matter more than ever, Joy shares her most real perspectives yet. She's spent her life in and around sports–with her brother, Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, and now her nephew, Jet's rookie Tight End, Mason Taylor. She's been there, lived it and seen it all. And she is not holding back. From toxic masculinity and the sports-political divide, to the intersection of activism and art, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking light amidst the chaos. And looking to better understand the deep and daily connection and collision points between our politics and our beloved sports.  They dig into top sports, politics and culture intersection headlines including Cowboys Defensive End Marshawn Kneeland's tragic apparent suicide this week at age 24 that has rocked the NFL, the NBA gambling scandal, Mamdani's popularity with young people, Trump's manipulation of the sports manosphere, and which athletes are speaking out and might even run for political office. And like on every Football Friday, Paul and Joy are making college and NFL picks! And, they break down the Biggest Little Game in America: Amherst vs Williams–and why it's about much more than sports.  End an exhausting week of politics and start your weekend off right.

Your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) welcomes dynamic, influential and highly-successful (yet humble) Axios CEO Jim VandeHei (@JimVandeHei) for an unfiltered look at the election aftermath, democracy's crossroads, and how Americans can reclaim control from broken institutions and divisive algorithms. And they also dig into the potential expansion of Trump's military strikes on Venezuela, whether a vote this week from Congress on a War Powers Act bill can stop him, and how the government shutdown is hitting the Pentagon dangerously and especially hard. Whether discussing congressional failures, presidential overreach, what it means to be a modern man, or how to “clean up your algorithm” for sanity and truth, Jim delivers candid advice and hope for a more resilient America. Packed with moments of wisdom on leadership, service, patriotism, and the media's future, this episode is a must for independent thinkers everywhere.​  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
