Summary

This week on the teaser! Dave’s day takes a darkly funny turn when his septic tank explodes into the shower. Between wrangling plumbers and hanging at the family beach club, he plugs the upcoming Park City Song Summit, where he’ll talk songwriting in and out of addiction with Anders Osborne, Anders Beck, and Matt Warren. He also drops big names for DopeyCon 6 (Ian Fidance, Sam Miller, Jake from West Virginia, Aaron Carr, Ray Brown, Dave’s dad, Linda, Brandon Novak, Hank Azaria, Jason Biggs, and more) and reminds everyone to grab tickets on Patreon. After reading a few pointed Spotify comments (“teasers are bullshit, Dave — we have to buy our heroin!”), he urges us to put the Dopey logo over our eyes on Dopey Day (Aug. 16) to honour Chris and all who’ve died. Then he teases his chat with Heart Attack Doug: they riff on being a Dopey legend, finger-picking vs. finger-banging, Doug’s cowboy persona and love of cop shirts, and a list of topics from Leonardo da Vinci to gender fluidity. The full conversation (with all the juicy bits) is on Patreon. www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast

1:09.0	Or she finds that it's not draining properly. I get in the
1:14.2	shower. I find the same thing. I assume there's hair in the shower. After doing a little research
1:19.5	on how to get hair out of a shower drain, I try to get the hair out of the shower drain, but I don't
1:25.4	really see much hair. Call the plumber,
1:27.9	comes over to snake it, charges me way too much money to do it, says he doesn't think the septic
