This week on Dopey! We are joined by infamous corrupt New York City police officer, Michael Dowd. We hear about his rise in East New York's legendary 75th precinct. We learn about how Michael Dowd broke bad and get the story on what happened after teaming up with nefarious Dominican drug kingpin Adam Diaz. PLUS how Dowd's alcoholism and addiction to action(and cocaine) drove him ultimately to 12 years in prison. EMAILS! VOICEMAILS, The Return of Ask Erin! and much more on this brand new super gritty corrupt morally shaky episode of that good old Dopey show. Also a short homage to friend of the show and Los Angeles legend - Mike Martt.

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 pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.
