Summary

This week on Dopey! Junky, alcoholic, culinary superstar, and all around nice guy in recovery, Chef Andrew Zimmern calls in and lays the Dopey on us. We hear all about his rise and fall and triumphant rise again as he scratched and clawed his way back to the top of the food chain. Chef Andrew also talked about the impact of Covid-19 on the plight of the over 7 million restaurant workers in America. We also get to hear some truly Dopey tales from hard living in New York City.   Then we hear from a certain pubic hair gobbling/toilet rim licking friend of the show, my dad (who's never licked a toilet) and much, much more! Including emails, voicemails and reviews!!!! On a super special covid-19 recovering laden episode of Dopey!  More About Dopey: Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. 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!
