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 pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T18:17:38.778026+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100"},"episode":{"title":"Danny Trejo on Heroin at 12, Prison, Recovery, Robbery, God & Tacos - Dopey's Greatest Hits","slug":"danny-trejo-on-heroin-at-12-prison-recovery-robbery-god-tacos-dopey-s-greatest-hits","published_at":"2026-06-25T10:21:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/danny-trejo-on-heroin-at-12-prison-recovery-robbery-god-tacos-dopey-s-greatest-hits","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100","url":"https://www.dopeypodcast.com","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/injector.simplecastaudio.com/2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897/episodes/ac66cf58-a583-473b-8f0b-50a03557a0d1/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=ac66cf58-a583-473b-8f0b-50a03557a0d1&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"Timestamp Notes 00:18 – Dave and Alan open the Thursday episode and explain Dopey’s Greatest Hits. 00:45 – Alan describes watching Dave struggle with broken podcast equipment. 01:05 – Dave explains the Rodecaster disasters: broken buttons, Best Buy returns, and Amazon packing gear under seltzer. 02:35 – Dave is trying to bank episodes before vacation and refuses to miss a day. 03:00 – Alan says Dave should leave equipment at his apartment. 03:25 – Alan questions Dave about missing a detail in the Mishka Shubaly interview. 04:30 – Dave asks if he often misses obvious follow-up questions during interviews. 05:20 – Alan says Dave usually explains things well, except when he assumes listeners know music references. 06:00 – Dave mentions an upcoming author interview about the Allman Brothers. 06:30 – Dopey being called the number two podcast about the Allman Brothers and number one in Venezuela. 07:00 – Dave asks Alan if he would pay for guests like Lamar Odom, Lenny Dykstra, Artie Lange, Bob Dylan, or Paul Simon. 08:50 – Paul Simon at Katz’s fantasy and discussion of Harper Simon. 09:25 – Mayim Bialik, Ben Stiller, Yiddish words, and “tumult.” 11:40 – Dave introduces the Danny Trejo Greatest Hits replay. 12:10 – Danny Trejo’s taco company and his son Gilbert’s earlier episode. 12:45 – Dave reads listener email from Brooke: seven years in recovery after a robbery that led to her boyfriend’s death. 14:00 – Alan responds to Brooke. 14:30 – Patreon comments from Nikki Sixx replay. 15:25 – Alan says he hates one Dopey intro song; Dave defends “I especially love Fentanyl Jay.” 16:00 – Motley Crue fans react to Nikki Sixx interview. 16:35 – Tesla the band vs Nikola Tesla; Alan gives a Tesla/Edison/Westinghouse history lesson. 18:00 – Listener says being an addict feels like a ble…","meta_description":"Timestamp Notes 00:18 – Dave and Alan open the Thursday episode and explain Dopey’s Greatest Hits. 00:45 – Alan describes watching Dave struggle with brok…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4412,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/episodes/danny-trejo-on-heroin-at-12-prison-recovery-robbery-god-tacos-dopey-s-greatest-hits/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/danny-trejo-on-heroin-at-12-prison-recovery-robbery-god-tacos-dopey-s-greatest-hits.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
