Today on Dopey!
this week on Dopey — We reconnect with Jenni G. Rochester rave survivor, Purchase/White Plains running buddy via Aurora. They unpack decades: Jenni’s attic stoner days, early acid/coke/ecstasy raves (Toronto runs, Sputnik parties, Rabbit in the Moon Doors cover), PCP bong hits, heavy heroin spiral (via Dave/Todd/DK circle), Brooklyn dope-sick chaos (doom sessions, Afrin-bottle tar smoking), California sober shift (mushrooms epiphany, divorce, working out), and current North Carolina life (California sober, thrifting, no heroin/ecstasy since kids). Jenny opens up about childhood trauma (abusive junkie dad, sexual abuse), brother’s $300K safe heist gone wrong, jail/probation dodging, and cold-turkey quit post-pregnancy. Dave reflects on linked timelines (heroin origins, shared friends, Southern roots insight), misses Todd, plugs sponsors (Oro, Mountainside, Orchard, Recovery Unplugged), reads Spotify comments on Kevin McEnroe ep, teases Dopeywood 2026, and closes with listener’s raw “Good So Bad” cover. Nostalgic, intense, hopeful — stay strong/toodles.
