Summary

HERE IS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE EPISODE: (not the teaser) If you want to hear it go to www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast ✍️ Episode Summary: In a rare and revealing turn, Dave hands over the mic to longtime friend and artist John Bukaty for a deep-dive interview that peels back the layers of the man behind Dopey. From early childhood trauma and bar mitzvah breakdowns to fake depression and failed Nirvana plans, this is the raw, unfiltered, sometimes hilarious, and often emotional true story of Dave and the birth of Dopey. Bukaty doesn’t hold back — and Dave opens up about family, addiction, spirituality, fear, humor, legacy, and the real meaning of Dopey. If you think you’ve heard it all before, think again.
