DOPEYWOOD 2026 Tickets! https://www.showclix.com/event/dopeywood-2026 Ad free Dopey - www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Total Dopey Replay we go way back to Episode 17 with the great Joe Schrank. Me, Chris and Joe get into addiction policy, sober living, relapse, harm reduction, AA, and whether Dopey is actually bad for the recovery community. It gets smart, stupid, and very old school Dopey. Plus Joe tells an all-time disgusting story about getting hammered at USC and puking Cajun curly fries all over some poor girl. If you like early Dopey with me and Chris figuring it out in real time, this is a good one. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
