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":"My Brother died from a Fentanyl Overdose, The Todd Shot Vol. 8 - Todd's sister Aly comes back.","slug":"my-brother-died-from-a-fentanyl-overdose-the-todd-shot-vol-8-todd-s-sister-aly-comes-back","published_at":"2026-06-17T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dopey-on-the-dark-comedy-of-drug-addiction-422100/my-brother-died-from-a-fentanyl-overdose-the-todd-shot-vol-8-todd-s-sister-aly-comes-back","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/de46608b-58b5-481d-acd0-a1b9b2f97ba2/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=2946d116-c208-4c76-b441-a9811c7f3897&awEpisodeId=de46608b-58b5-481d-acd0-a1b9b2f97ba2&feed=OC5bZYjc","summary":"00:00 – Intro music and Wednesday Dose opening 01:10 – Dave marks eight years since Todd Curry died 02:00 – Knicks championship, summer updates, film festival reminder 03:00 – Narcan, fentanyl test strips, and listener stories 03:40 – Double D’s Tigers party bus story begins 05:00 – Free t-shirt hustle at Comerica Park 06:20 – Smoking crack behind dumpsters in Detroit 07:45 – Failed Canada trip and border search 09:30 – Getting banned from Canada 10:10 – Patreon comments on Kevin McEnroe 13:30 – Spotify comments, cigarettes, stepdaughter advice, meetings 18:45 – Allie Curry joins the show 20:00 – Remembering Todd’s first accidental Dopey call-in 22:00 – Allie talks about the anniversary of Todd’s death 23:30 – Why Todd’s birthday feels harder than the death anniversary 25:00 – Allie’s kids and what they remember about Uncle Todd 28:00 – Dave reflects on keeping Todd alive through Dopey 30:00 – Todd hiding the podcast from his family 31:30 – Todd’s denial, charm, and keeping people from worrying 35:00 – Allie remembers seeing Todd obviously high at breakfast 37:30 – Dave talks about recording with Todd while he was high 40:00 – Family denial, parents wanting to believe things were okay 43:00 – Todd after Ithaca, old girlfriends, and lost years 46:00 – Todd’s last sober-living period and his final days 48:30 – The day Todd died and Allie almost went to wake him up 50:30 – Allie’s parents, grief, and keeping Todd’s memory alive 53:00 – Young Todd stories, stealing, skiing, getting into trouble 55:00 – How Todd lives on in Allie’s kids 57:00 – Dave and Allie talk about parenting, criticism, and family patterns 1:02:00 – Dave remembers reconnecting with Todd in New York 1:05:00 – The dangerous period when Dave and Todd used together 1:08:00 – Allie talks openly with her kid…","meta_description":"00:00 – Intro music and Wednesday Dose opening 01:10 – Dave marks eight years since Todd Curry died 02:00 – Knicks championship, summer updates, film fest…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5488,"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/my-brother-died-from-a-fentanyl-overdose-the-todd-shot-vol-8-todd-s-sister-aly-comes-back/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/my-brother-died-from-a-fentanyl-overdose-the-todd-shot-vol-8-todd-s-sister-aly-comes-back.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
