DopeyCon looks like 10/2

This week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey! Dave opens the show with Ben Croxton's classic DopeyCon song before sharing updates on planning DopeyCon 7 and asking the Dopey Nation to help make this year's event the biggest one yet. Along the way, he plays a listener voicemail about an unforgettable acid trip at Minnesota's Jungle Love festival, talks about psychedelic-assisted recovery, patience, tolerance, and the importance of keeping your mouth shut in sobriety, reads one of the darkest emails ever sent to the show, and follows it up with a hilarious listener story about drunken newspaper deliveries and sibling chaos.

Then actor, interventionist, and recovery advocate Dominic Cianese Jr.—the son of Sopranos legend Dominic Chianese (Uncle Junior)—joins Dave for an honest conversation about growing up in Brooklyn, discovering drugs through the punk rock scene, heroin addiction, relapse, recovery, and the intervention that ultimately changed his life. They dive into behind-the-scenes stories from The Sopranos, James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, acting, stand-up comedy, and why helping other addicts has become Dominic's life's work. It's a funny, emotional, and deeply hopeful conversation about addiction, family, redemption, and building a life beyond your wildest dreams. 

All that and more or less another summer hiatus dopey show! Thoughts? write us at [email protected]
