Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

• Dopey 537– Ian Fidance! The Ultimate BiSexual/Straight Edge, Huffing Duster in His Mom’s House - 10 years Sober episode!

  exclusive eps on patreon every tuesday! www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! Up and coming Comedy and podcasting Legend Ian Fidance enters the Dopeysphere! Ian brings the old school serious alcoholic dopey. He takes us from his straight-edge ska band days in Delaware to waking up blue-faced in a pile of vomit after huffing computer duster. We hear how a fifth-grade beer led to a full-blown romance with vodka, coke, and gay bars across New York. Ian talks about his failed teaching career, multiple stints in rehab and Oxford Houses, drinking mouthwash, and why he once thought handing in his AA coins at a bar would earn him a free drink. PLUS  ska vs. hardcore, Howie’s AI R&B girl group Lux, living in halfway houses, and relapsing in your dorm room after writing a goodbye letter. They go deep into grief, comedy as higher power, relapse logic gymnastics, and getting sober without getting spiritual—then finding your way back. Bonus points for a great round of the Dopey game (BossTones vs. Less Than Jake, LSD vs. Mushrooms), Ian’s insane DUI story, and an epic takedown of Katz's vs. Sarge’s. Plus: voicemails, God talk, stolen AA basket money, and more! All that and much, much more on this brand new, old school episode of that good ol dopey show!

• Kicking Heroin was easier than sitting through this Dance Recital. PLUS BUKATY IS BACK!

  GET THE FULL BUKATY AT:www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast📓 Episode NotesDave’s prepping for a huge family vacation to Utah → Lava Hot Springs, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons (mispronounced as Tetones). A brutal East Islip dance recital leads Dave to declare: “Kicking heroin is better than this.” Susan’s performance was great — but spaced out by 3 hours of toddler dance hell. Revelation: No more long-ass Dopey events. DopeyCon will be 90 minutes max. Dinner with Linda, the kids, and Dave’s dad → awkward French lesson about “Tetons” = breasts. Farmer’s market trip → meat sticks, truffle cheese, overpriced smoothies, and the dreaded $5 guilt energy bar. Dave chips a tooth on said bar → questions mortality and suspects maybe someone else’s tooth was in the bar. John Bucati appears to talk about New Orleans, sampling, and Life of Pi → Dave calls bullshit and reminisces about watching it high on Grand Street. Announcement: July 24th is Chrismiss in July, August 16 is  Dopey Day (Chris’s birthday).
