Boston singer-songwriter Emily Grogan joins the show to talk about a career that's taken her everywhere — from touring with Mike Gordon of Phish to playing the legendary Rat in Boston. She digs into the wild range of gigs that shaped her as a musician, the local scene that raised her, and what it's like sharing a stage with one of the most respected bassists in rock. Plus, we talk about her single "Tell Your Friends" and what's next. A great listen for anyone into Boston music history and the stories behind it.Music Clips from The Dogmatics, The Charms, Emily Grogan, and The Prime Movers Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo

Before the interview, Dave talks about his lifelong love of “Blue Sky,” reflects on a difficult Patreon Zoom and reminds himself of one of recovery's hardest lessons: restraint of pen and tongue. Papa Smurf contributes an incredible story about selling mushrooms in an Allman Brothers parking lot, getting grabbed by undercover cops and escaping after an oblivious hippie accidentally distracts them. A listener named Jeff also shares a disastrous Phish adventure involving craft beer, moonshine, cocaine, getting lost outside the venue while “Maze” played in the distance, wandering through a locked campground and receiving a possession charge that ultimately introduced him to AA. Then Dave sits down with Duane Betts for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation about growing up inside the Allman Brothers family, touring with his father, living at Cher's Malibu home, learning guitar on the road and finding his own musical identity. Duane opens up about Hodgkin lymphoma, discovering Dilaudid after surgery, the Malibu party scene, Molly, cocaine, crack, black tar heroin and a gram-a-day opiate habit. He recalls smoking heroin-and-cocaine speedballs, flipping a car after scoring drugs, waking up beside a friend who had overdosed and nearly dying after a massive cocaine hit. He also describes arrests, drug court, treatment, Suboxone, relapse, touring with Dawes and eventually finding lasting recovery. Now more than seven years sober, Duane talks about meeting his wife in Jackson Hole, staying grounded through music, hiking, yoga and connection, and continuing the Allman Brothers legacy through his solo work, Palmetto Motel and the Allman Betts Family Revival. It is a story about rock-and-roll history, inherited addiction, devastating loss, recovery and finding a life filled with music, gratitude and purpose. Allman Brothers month continues!   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Cybersecurity Today host David Shipley covers how a newly unsealed U.S. complaint tied an alleged Scattered Spider member to a luxury retailer intrusion using a persistent Windows device ID, with prosecutors alleging help-desk social engineering, admin account takeover, data exfiltration, and an $8 million ransom demand; the episode also notes additional Scattered Spider-related guilty pleas in the U.K. and U.S.   The show reports Google patched "Rogue Agent," a Dialogflow CX permission-boundary issue involving Python code blocks in Cloud Run that could enable data theft or credential prompts across agents in a shared project.   It details "Janus Escape" (CVE-2026-53359), a 16-year-old Linux KVM use-after-free enabling guest-to-host escapes in cloud environments, patched in June.   The show explores Apple's shift to out-of-band security updates due to AI-accelerated exploitation, and a multi-platform redirect phishing campaign using fake job interviews and browser-in-browser Google login prompts targeting marketers' Google accounts. 00:00 Sponsor NordLayer 00:36 Headlines Intro 01:03 Scattered Spider Traced 03:16 More Spider Arrests 04:31 Google Rogue Agent 06:24 Linux Janus Escape 08:04 Apple Patching Shift 10:04 Marketer Phish Chain 12:17 Wrap Up Thanks 12:53 Sponsor Message

The band Phish has toured for over 40 years. One of the draws of their legendary live shows—which can go on for 8 hours—is finding moments of “flow,” when the band members lock into an improvised jam, finding new musical ideas in real time. Phish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do the musicians—to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bass player, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state. In November 2025, Host Flora Lichtman sat down with Mike and his research collaborator, neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, to unpack their research so far and how it's helping to inform other neuroscience. Guests: Mike Gordon is bassist and co-founder of the seminal improvisational rock band Phish.  Dr. Greg Appelbaum is a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.  A transcript for this episode is available at sciencefriday.com.

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Before we get started with today's episode, I wanted to remind you that you can support Attendance Bias by rating and reviewing the show wherever you get your podcasts, you can follow Attendance Bias on social media, and you can visit www.buymeacoffee.com/attendancebias and donate anything you can. Now, onto the show:We've made it–the tour closer. Phish is closing the 2026 summer tour with a pair of shows at a venue with a complicated Phish history: Fenway Park in Boston. It's no stretch to say that Boston is a pivotal city when it comes to Phish history. It's a straight line from Burlington to Boston to New York, with occasional stops in Colorado when it comes to “Crucial Places on the Phish Map.” Yet, since the mid-90s, Phish has become a bit shy when it comes to playing Beantown. And when they do play in Boston, it's at the oldest active stadium in Major League Baseball: Fenway Park; a venue loved by baseball fans and loathed by live music fans.  To help us bridge that gap is today's guest, Dave Hamilton. Dave has more than his share of experience behind the mic and behind the drum kit. He plays in at least two bands: Casual Gravity and Bitter Pill. He also hosts, or co-hosts the podcasts Gig Gab about music and musicians, Mac Geek Gab about Apple products, and Business Brain for entrepreneurs. So you can tell he's got experience at speaking about his passions, not to mention a touch of Casey Kasem in his vocal tone. In other words, he knows what he's talking about and it's fun to listen to him tell us what he knows,For today's purposes, Dave tells us about what makes Fenway great, what makes it not-so-great, and what Phish's ascent throughout New England in the 90s and early 2000s so meaningful. In addition, we make sure to touch on key moments and gigs from Phish's extensive history in Boston, and what to expect for these upcoming Fenway shows, based on their previous performances at the stadium.  So let's join Dave as we close out the Summer Tour Preview at Fenway park on July 31 and August 1, 2026.Support the show

US Puts $10M Bounty on Russian Hackers, Supreme Court Limits Geofence Warrants, New phishing campaign targets hotels, AI Coding Agents Tricked into Malware and Canada's Electronic Spies Go After Ransomware Gangs.  The episode covers the US State Department's up to $10 million reward for information on Russia-linked hacker groups UNC 5792 and UNC 4221 tied to phishing campaigns that compromise Signal and WhatsApp accounts by stealing Signal backup recovery keys.  It also explains a US Supreme Court 6–3 ruling limiting geofence warrants by recognizing Fourth Amendment privacy protections for phone location data and requiring probable cause and narrower requests.  Mozilla ODIN researchers demonstrate a proof of concept where a clean GitHub repo can cause AI coding agents to run an init command that executes attacker-controlled code via DNS and opens a reverse shell. A hotel-focused phishing campaign using Calendly and Google redirects delivers ZIP files that install the Tonrat implant through PowerShell and a user-space Node.js runtime.  Finally, Canada's CSE says it disrupted infrastructure used by 10 major ransomware groups and reports incident volumes rising nearly 26% year over year. 00:24 Top Headlines Rundown 00:54 10 Million Bounty Russian Hackers 02:42 Supreme Court Limits Geofence Warrants 03:56 AI Coding Agent Repo Trap 05:31 Listener Thanks And Reviews 05:51 Hotel Front Desk Phishing Attack 08:01 Canada Disrupts Ransomware Gangs 09:45 Closing And Sign Off

Before we get started with today's episode, I wanted to remind you that you can support Attendance Bias by rating and reviewing the show wherever you get your podcasts, you can follow Attendance Bias on social media, and you can visit www.buymeacoffee.com/attendancebias and donate anything you can. Now, onto the show:Welcome back to the Attendance Bias Summer 2026 Venue Preview Series! Last week, we got a peek at Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse, and now we are in the penultimate stop of the summer tour where I have a feeling things will get weird: a 5 show stop, July 22, 24, 25, 27, and 29 at Madison Square Garden in–where else–New York City.   You know, years ago, when Phish would announce a summer tour, the band would release a pre-recorded video, sometimes with narration and other times without, and the tour dates would show up in different places in each shot. It's been a while since Phish released a tour announcement video…until this year. The band didn't announce their summer tour with a video; they announced this micro-residency at MSG with a video formatted as if you were channel surfing at some point in the early 90s. The channels featured various New York City staples, like the weather channel, hot dog vendors, WPIX New York, and even a 90s-style Katy Tur reporting the news, all while the studio version of “Glide” played in the background. The message is clear: Phish at Madison Square Garden is a normal part of the 90s NYC culture, just like skateboarders, the Time Square stock market ticker, or the Knicks and Rangers celebrating a win at the World's Most Famous Arena. Clearly, the band is especially excited to make their way to 100 shows at MSG, and this summer provided an opportunity to make it happen just that much quicker.To preview this run, there is only one person I would want to be my guest for this episode: co-host of the Helping Friendly Podcast, Osiris Media personality, and my good friend, Megan Glionna. Like me, Megan lives close to the Garden, is overly analytical, knowledgeable, and nerdy about Phish, sees them a ton, and romanticizes New York City while still being able to take off those rose-colored glasses when there's someone urinating on the subway, or worse.It's no surprise that this episode is the longest of the preview series. Megan tells us about her history as a New Yorker, we debate what 100 shows at the same venue might mean to the fans and the band, and of course we wax poetic about our favorite moments at MSG, those that involve Phish, and those that don't. In short, we cover a lot of ground since this episode previews the shows at what is probably the most important venue in modern Phish history. But I don't want to spoil it, and this introduction is already taking too long. Let's join Megan as we stop for a week in New York City to see Phish at MSG from July 22 through 29, 2026.Support the show

Andrew Hitz on Boston Brass, The Brass Junkies & TEM, Mentors, and Finding Creativity in the Pandemic The host returns to Studio HFL interviews begun in 2017, thanks past sponsors and supporters, and introduces an interview with tubist Andrew Hitz. Hitz discusses navigating the pandemic while helping his first-grade son Nicholas in online Spanish immersion, his wife's work as a middle school band director, and how stepping off the road after 14 years in Boston Brass led him to be a stay-at-home dad and later refocus creatively. He recounts how he joined Boston Brass via an emergency sub gig arranged through Sam Palafian, reflects on early musical immersion at Tanglewood, youth orchestra experiences, and meeting mentors including Palafian and Arnold Jacobs. He describes his passion for Phish (201 concerts) and parallels between musical intensity across genres. Hitz explains how his network and desire to keep collaborating with Lance LaDuke led to The Brass Junkies and later The Entrepreneurial Musician (TEM), and how business learning grew from social media and arts marketing interests while he remains selective about performing. 00:00 Welcome Back Updates 00:43 Sponsors And Supporters 01:43 Interview Kickoff Praise 05:24 Life In The Pandemic 06:23 Stay At Home Dad Shift 10:55 Spanish And Early Listening 12:10 Joining Boston Brass 16:48 Youth Orchestra Pressure 28:12 High School Band Reality 30:51 Meeting Your Heroes 33:55 Why Phish Matters 39:08 Phish Shows And Tickets 40:47 Empire Brass Origins 41:41 Meeting Sam Pilafian 42:36 Empire Brass Seminar 44:19 Inside Open Rehearsals 45:26 Rolf Intensity Story 47:32 Chamber Music Dynamics 50:25 Empire Performance Fire 51:12 Mnozil Brass Magic 53:22 Touring Life Reflections 54:53 Starting Brass Junkies 01:09:38 TEM Business Origins 01:14:02 Playing Versus Podcasting 01:20:27 Wrapping Up and Thanks

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay rub the furry walls while talking about the 2010 party-comedy, 'Get Him to the Greek.' Andy kicks the episode off by recalling a time he hid M in his backdoor region to take it on a flight to a Phish concert. Then the fellas chat about a studio comedy that seems to be from a bygone era. You definitely couldn't make this movie today ... because it stars Diddy and Russell Brand. The film almost propelled Brand into A-list superstardom before folks realized his portrayal of the pretentious rockstar had very little fiction. Along the way the flick is filled with copious amounts of overindulging on substances while having a riot and acting irresponsibly. Most will remember Jonah Hill's character being forced into perverse party situations including the all-time hilarious 'Jeffrey' strip club sequence, but it's Rose Byrne who stealthily comes away with the MVP — cementing her place on the Degen Cinema Mount Rushmore of comedy. The movie may run out of steam, and drag on too long, but the podcast episode comes in at a perfect length, and features tales and insights that'll make you feel as if you just smoked a Jeffrey. 

Welcome to the final chapter of Truckin' Through Time, our six-part chronological journey through the music, history, and lived culture of the Grateful Dead. This episode carries extra emotional weight as we pull into the era I lived through firsthand.This isn't a textbook summary; it's a memory of sleeping in beat-up cars, trading tapes in the rain, and chasing the magic across giant stadium floors. We are diving into the beautiful, bittersweet final years of the band, balancing the incredible highs of the Bruce Hornsby era with the growing shadows of loss and physical strain that eventually brought the 30-year trip to a quiet, reflective close.Send Me A MessageThis episode is sponsored by ShakedownTshirts.com with unique lot-style T-shirts and gifts for Grateful Dead, Phish, Zappa, Panic, and more.

For years, our entrepreneurial spirit animal has been Ben & Jerry… And now we get to sit down with Ben (the Ben) of Ben & Jerry. A guy who got his business start by making up numbers (literally).This hippie launched the biggest ice cream brand in America with his best friend from a dilapidated gas station in Vermont. And then pulled off the wildest acquisition deal in history, selling to Unilever for $326M (aka “The Double Dip”). Now they're doing $1B in half-baked revenue.Along the way, Ben tells us how they invented the collab (hello, Phish), shares his favorite flavor (you've never heard it), and why he turned icy weather into hot cone sales with a financial trick shot using a thermometer.But Ben & Jerry got famous for giving out 1 ingredient every brand avoids: Politics. So today we're asking Ben the big biz question of our time — Does it pay for a brand to take a stand? Is it a Profit Puppy… or an Ice Cream Headache?Yet Ben's biggest bite out of business is happening now: “Save Ben & Jerry.” Ben is battling to buy back his beloved brand — and he share with us his playbook to pull it off, including (spoiler), candy?CHAPTERS:Yetis, this interview is truly our best one yet. You'll hear:Ben & Jerry's Vermonters-Only IPOHow Ben suffers from a lack of tasting senseWhy the best entrepreneurs make up the numbersHis Favorite FlavorThe Crazy Thermometer IdeaHow they innovated the “Pint” with Pics (and 1 wild photoshoot)Whether founders should get politicalThe Double-Dip greatest acquisition deal in historyHow Ben & Jerry became a “pimple” on Unilever's buttCo-Founder FriendshipNEWSLETTER:https://tboypod.com/newsletter OUR 2ND SHOW:Want more business storytelling from us?

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Today, we continue our miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's 2026 summer tour with a newish venue in a longtime favorite Phish town: the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview in Syracuse, NY. But for the purposes of this episode, we're just going to call it Lakeview. Other than Walnut Creek, this is the only venue to host just one Phish show this summer, but it has all the makings to be a special show. Today's guest, Beth Ann Kempf helps explain why. Phish has played the Lakeview Amphitheater just twice leading into the show this summer, but their history in Syracuse goes all the way back to 1989. In fact, you could argue that it goes even farther back than that, because Jon Fishman is from the area, and the band remembers that seemingly every time they play there. A recurring theme of today's discussion is that there is on stage banter in virtually every show played in Syracuse, going back to 1989, which was just a few years after Fishman graduated high school! On top of that, Beth Ann tells us about the amphitheater itself, along with plenty of things to do in and around Syracuse, should you find yourself looking for things to do in The Salt City before or after the show. She's been seeing the band since 1991, and has lived near Syracuse for most of her adult life. She's an excellent tour guide for anyone hitting this show.  So let's dive into Central New York with Beth Ann Kampf as we prepare for Phish's show at the Lakeview Amphitheater on July 21, 2026.Support the show

Comedian Carolyn Plummer joins Rick for the first episode of the newly rebranded Stand-Up Scuttlebutt. Carolyn is one of New England's most recognized comics, having performed at TD Garden as part of Comics Come Home.

Then Rick and Carolyn discuss the challenges of moving, the summer jobs that helped shape them, and why neither of them has ever gotten a tattoo. Carolyn's also attempts to justify buying an electric grill. The episode wraps up with spirited opinions about music as Carolyn shares her love of the Grateful Dead and Rick explains why Phish is the worst band to ever exist.

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Today, we continue our miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's 2026 summer tour with an old favorite: Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, Maryland. We are at the mid-point of the tour, having just visited Walnut Creek, and on the way to Lakeview in Syracuse for a one night stop after these two shows.Today's guests to give us the inside scoop on MPP should be familiar voices to anyone listening; we have familiar friends today: JW and Skinny from the Stub Me Down podcast. As you've come to hear, these guys are not only intelligent and experienced Phish fans, but they both live nearby the venue, within a half hour or, in Skinny's case, 8 minutes exactly. Together, we review the history of the legendary venue, its connection to the jamband scene and, of course, our favorite memories of seeing Phish there since 1998, although JW is quick to point out that the band's first performance on that stage was in 1992 opening for Santana.But let's hear it from Skinny and JW as we prepare for Phish's 2-night run, their first at MPP since 2022, on July 18 and 19, 2026.Support the show

Welcome back to Truckin' Through Time, our six-part chronological journey through the history, music, and lived experience of the Grateful Dead. In this episode, we pull straight into the absolute whirlwind of 1985 to 1989—the era where the Deadhead universe experienced its ultimate expansion.Your host, Will, tackles the late eighties with total honesty. This is the era of the great health scare, Jerry's miraculous comeback, and the massive cultural shift that occurred when the mainstream finally caught up to the scene. We are diving deep into the tension between old-school "Tour Rats" and the new wave of "Touchheads" who flooded the stadiums after MTV put the band on heavy rotation.Grab a cold one, fire up a crisp '89 soundboard, and let's talk about the years where the secret got out and the parking lot became the center of the world. Send Me A MessageThis episode is sponsored by ShakedownTshirts.com with unique lot-style T-shirts and gifts for Grateful Dead, Phish, Zappa, Panic, and more.

Pat and our callers keep the show going with reminiscing on highway roadside locations on I-80 and Highway 50 like The Nut Tree, Strawberry Lodge, and the Milk Farm. Mike Gordan from Phish is also on today's birthday board!

Film Festival Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Listen Without ads on patreon: www.pareon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Wednesday Dose! The episode kicks off with a classic hippie Dopey email from listener MB, who recounts a spectacular Phish tour nitrous disaster. After days of ketamine, booze, overpriced cocaine, and lot balloons at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Colorado, MB face-plants into the dirt while clutching multiple nitrous balloons, destroys his glasses, spends a miserable flight home dry-heaving and hallucinating, and somehow survives a concussion-level experience. The story ends on a positive note with nearly ten months clean and sober and a request for dream guests Gibby Haynes and Jason Isbell. Dave then dives into Patreon and Spotify comments, including continuing fallout from the Dopey Sticker Contest. Selby files an official election challenge, claiming the contest was stolen and accusing Dave of failing to refresh Patreon before announcing a winner. Dave doubles down, insisting Felix Heads remains the champion despite accusations of voter suppression, corruption, and sticker fraud. Along the way listeners discuss ADHD, religion, Knicks fandom, kratom recovery, Long Island stories, and the eternal mystery of white crack dealers. The heart of the episode is an incredible interview with Michael Muniz, a 69-year-old Brooklyn native with 36 years sober. Michael tells a quintessential New York story that stretches from Brownsville gangs, schoolyard fights, and witnessing the neighborhood transformation of Brooklyn in the 1960s and 70s to marijuana, acid, cocaine, crack addiction, homelessness, Rikers Island, and ultimately recovery through Phoenix House. Michael shares stories about seeing his deceased father's face in the clouds during an LSD trip, discovering crack in the Cypress Projects and instantly becoming obsessed, losing everything while sleeping on subway trains and wandering New York's tunnels, robbing his mother, surviving violent encounters, and eventually finding his way into Phoenix House. What began as a plan to simply get clean long enough to save money and return to crack eventually became a lifelong recovery journey. The conversation explores therapeutic communities, recovery philosophy, family loyalty, homelessness during the crack epidemic, the culture of Brooklyn neighborhoods, Rikers Island in the 1980s, and the power of second chances. Michael also describes a dramatic courtroom moment where, facing serious federal charges, he convinced a judge to give him probation instead of prison after speaking honestly about recovery and wanting a different life. By the end, Michael reflects on his 36 years of sobriety, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, acting career, and belief that recovery is a lifelong process. Dave and Michael bond over drug dreams, gratitude, family, and the reality that while the desire to get high may never fully disappear, a meaningful life in recovery is infinitely better. The episode closes with Michael from the band Good Kid performing a live version of “Good So Bad,”  All that and MORE MORE MORE on the Wednesday dose of that good old Dopey Show!

Now, onto the show:Today, we continue our miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's 2026 summer tour with a peek at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, or for the purposes of today's episode: Walnut Creek. We are firmly in the “Thunderstorms with 110% humidity” leg of summer tour. The last venue was Enmarket Arena in Savannah, this week we are in Raleigh, North Carolina for Walnut Creek, and next up will be Merriweather Post. Although there are some quirks to this summer tour, Walnut Creek is a well-established venue for Phish fans, going all the way back to 1994. In fact, with just one or two exceptions, Phish's history in Raleigh is their history at Walnut Creek, which makes this a very exciting stop on the tour and an exciting episode. Our tour guide today is Bryan Rodgers; a long-time Phish fan who has lived in and around the Raleigh-Durham area for nearly all his life. Bryan not only tells us about the literal geography of Raleigh, but explains the recent history of Raleigh, where and how the jamband scene fits in over the past 30 years, active venues, and venues long gone, and the best places to get North Carolina Raleigh-style barbecue.In addition, Bryan and I review Phish's history in Raleigh and at Walnut Creek; I'll be honest: there are a lot more music clips in today's episode than there usually are in the venue previews. Walnut Creek deserves and demands it. Whether it's jamming during a thunderstorm, or a mashup between Runaway Jim and Run Like An Antelope, Bryan has us covered today.  So let's get right to it as we prepare for Phish's show at Walnut Creek on July 17, 2026.Support the show

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. By now, we are off and running. The tour started in Madison, WI for the long-awaited return to the Kohl Center, we spent a 3-night run at the long-time favorite Deer Creek, and now it's time to visit the dirty south to visit a brand new venue–both in construction and for Phish–the Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia. Not only is the venue new to Phish, but imagine my surprise during my research when I found out that Phish has never played in Savannah before. This summer we are going to witness a first! On top of breaking ground in the historic city, they're also playing for two nights! All that said, this means there's a lot of unknowns for fans traveling to Georgia for these two shows.Luckily, today's guests have you covered. Earth and Jessie live in Savannah, and have plenty to say about their hometown. I helped guide the conversation during the recording, but I feel like I could have asked one question: “Tell me about Enmarket Arena and what there is to do in Savannah” and we would have everything we need to know for Phish's visit. Actually, even though I'm not going to these two shows, I was ready to book a flight to Savannah just to try and do all of the recommendations Earth and Jessie gave during today's conversation!They cover everything: what to do, where to eat, where to drink, where to walk, and even where to get zoned out by floors made of crystal and glass containing dinosaur fossils. But also more practical details like what the area around the venue is like, how to get there, where to park…you know, the stuff this podcast series is for.  But let's hear it from Earth and Jessie, as they are pumped for Phish's two shows at the Enmarket Arena on July 14 and 15, 2026.Support the show

Dopey Film Festival: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Listen without ads www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Wednesday Dose of Dopey, Dave opens the show with Brer Brian's Dopey Wednesday anthem and immediately starts hustling tickets for the upcoming Dopey Short Film Festival in New York City. Dave explains that only nine tickets have sold so far and promises cheap tickets, food, fellowship, desserts, filmmakers, and recovery community vibes. He begs the Dopey Nation to come out and support the event while Winnie the dog barks in the background. Before getting to the main interview, Dave plays an absolutely insane voicemail from longtime Dopey contributor JD DeHart about surviving a cocaine overdose during a three-day binge in a trailer in Mississippi when he was 20 years old. JD describes an old-school coke and crack marathon involving an entire ounce of cocaine, nonstop shooting coke, smoking crack, drinking beer, no sleep, no food, and no water. He vividly recounts doing a gigantic shot of cocaine and suddenly entering a terrifying paralysis where he could hear and see everything but couldn't move a single part of his body. JD compares the experience to the Metallica “One” video and explains how his paranoid dealer friend may have saved his life by slapping him awake, giving him water and food, and slowly bringing him out of the overdose. Naturally, once he recovered, the first thing he did was smoke an enormous crack hit. Dave praises the voicemail and thanks JD for consistently contributing incredible stories to the show. Dave then dives into Patreon and Spotify comments responding to last week's controversial Blake Mycoskie episode. Listeners debate rich-guy recovery, psychedelic therapy, AI therapy, polo, founder culture, and whether wealthy people talking about depression is relatable to the average Dopey listener. Some commenters defend the episode and appreciate hearing about mental health and self-worth, while others say they turned it off the moment Blake started discussing AI therapy or learning polo in Argentina. Dave jokes that people should blame John Bukaty for bringing in “woo-woo guests,” but still says he genuinely liked Blake and appreciated trying something different. The comment section also leads to discussions about recovery, privilege, treatment access, government responsibility for addiction, and Dave's ongoing balancing act between growing Dopey and maintaining authenticity. Dave also reads a moving Spotify comment from a listener celebrating 120 days clean after a devastating relapse that nearly destroyed his marriage and relationship with his child. Other listeners compliment Dave's podcasting skills, compare his intros to Marc Maron, and joke about Tesla AI therapy and rich recovery people. Dave also contemplates launching a higher Patreon tier with an exclusive Zoom while openly joking about his “cynical cash grab” tendencies and his need to support his family. The centerpiece of the episode is Dave's long conversation with Skinny Vinny inside Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast van in Sherman Oaks, California. The interview covers almost every phase of Vinny's chaotic life story. Vinny explains how the Wild Ride podcast went on hiatus after backlash surrounding a sarcastic Steve-O clip from an episode with Harlan Williams that got taken out of context online. Vinny talks openly about Steve-O's sensitivity, internet outrage culture, and the emotional toll of constant public criticism. The conversation then shifts into Vinny's upbringing in Connecticut and his lifelong obsession with Jackass. Vinny tells the story of being a kid with a camera glued to his hand, idolizing Bam Margera and Jeff Tremaine, and eventually convincing Bam to punch him in the face at a skate shop signing when he was a teenager. Dave and Vinny reminisce about old Jackass dreams eventually becoming reality years later through recovery and content creation. Vinny dives deep into his addiction history, including following Phish and Bob Weir tours while constantly inhaling nitrous balloons in parking lots, discovering Silk Road drug markets in Vermont, and eventually falling into severe heroin addiction. He recounts horrifying years living in Vermont, where heroin was outrageously expensive, and where he watched his girlfriend overdose in front of her parents after both of them desperately tried to detox using kratom. Vinny also describes his obsession with needles, famously saying, “If I could rig it, I could dig it,” while discussing shooting heroin and eventually shooting liquid LSD purchased from Silk Road. One of the darkest sections of the interview involves Vinny describing his infamous “porta potty bottom.” After burning every bridge and alienating everyone in his life, Vinny ended up secretly living inside a handicapped-sized porta potty in Connecticut while hustling to survive. He explains his daily routine of waking up at sunrise, hiding blankets in bushes, charging his Obama phone at Dunkin Donuts, stealing energy drinks from grocery stores, selling them to bodegas, buying heroin and crack, and repeating the cycle endlessly. Dave and Vinny talk about the terrifying comfort that comes with fully accepting life as a hopeless junkie. Vinny also recounts his arrest, jail sentence, and the legendary “prison pocket” story. Knowing he had to turn himself in, Vinny literally trained his body to smuggle heroin, Xanax, rolling tobacco, papers, and even needles into jail. He explains how he eventually ran out of drugs behind bars and suffered brutally through withdrawal on the top bunk in jail while promising himself he'd never use again — only to get released and immediately return to hustling and heroin. The interview takes a more hopeful turn as Vinny explains how recovery unexpectedly transformed his life. He talks about meeting Zackass in sober living, becoming indispensable behind the camera, eventually becoming a co-host, and later joining Steve-O's Wild Ride. Vinny describes feeling like recovery gave him the exact life he fantasized about as a kid obsessed with Jackass culture. Dave and Vinny repeatedly discuss the strange intersection of manifestation, luck, spirituality, showing up, and being willing to work hard without getting high. Later in the interview, Vinny opens up emotionally about his failed marriage to a Canadian woman, the devastating heartbreak that followed, and the depression that nearly broke him. He describes locking himself in his apartment for 45 days, barely eating, crying himself to sleep, and seriously considering drinking despite years of sobriety. Instead of relapsing, Vinny redirected all of his pain into fitness, weight loss, and self-improvement. He explains how discovering peptides, returning to the gym, diving back into recovery meetings and service work, and focusing entirely on himself ultimately helped him lose over 200 pounds and completely transform his life. The episode ends with Vinny discussing his plans to open a sober living house called The Comeback with a former client from his early recovery days. Dave and Vinny also joke about Canadians, Dopeywood structure problems, podcasting, body dysmorphia, fear dreams, and the strange reality of surviving addiction long enough to accidentally build a meaningful life. Dave closes the episode asking listeners yet again to buy film festival tickets, join Patreon, leave Spotify comments, send voicemails, and stay involved in the Dopey community before ending, as always, with “Stay strong Dopey Nation and fucking toodles for Chris.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Welcome back to our 2026 miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's summer tour. Last time, we opened the series by visiting an arena we haven't seen in a long time: the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Today, we are going to preview an amphitheater that is embedded in Phish lore to the point where it seems like we're talking about a family reunion: Deer Creek Amphitheater in Noblesville, Indiana.The mere mention of the words “Deer Creek”--excuse me, the “Ruoff Music Center”--elicits dozens, if not hundreds of memories and anecdotes in the Phish universe. The band has been playing the venue for a shade over 31 years, yet there's plenty to preview and review. Luckily, today's guest–Ben Karle–has seen Deer Creek change from an amphitheater in the middle of a series of cornfields to the centerpiece of a suburb, complete with its own downtown, since the venue opened in 1989. There's plenty to debate whether the growth of Deer Creek, or the town that's grown up around Noblesville over the past 37 years is for better or worse, but for today's episode, Ben and I simply review the venue's history, remember stories from Phish's illustrious past shows at the Creek–from Moby Dick to Soul Planet–and he offers his opinions on the best and not-so-best parts of seeing a show at the classic venue. So whether or not you're staying at Sleepy Bear Campground or a downtown AirBnB, let's join Ben to get ready for a 3-spot on July 10, 11, and 12 at Deer Creek in Noblesville, Indiana.Support the show
