Some people like, well, you didn't do it for yourself so you're not gonna last. I'm telling you now, I couldn't do it for myself. If they said right now it's for myself, I'd leave you guys to go get high. I'm doing this for her.
What happens when a former gang member, drug dealer, and adult film star takes the mic? You get an unforgettable episode of Dopey Podcast featuring Jesse Shwenker. Jesse's story is anything but ordinary. Raised amidst the chaos of Suffolk County with violent motorcycle gangs and the Crips, his life was a whirlwind of trauma and danger. But that’s just the beginning. Jesse’s journey spirals through dealing pills, sex work, and an intense battle with heroin addiction.
It’s raw, it’s gritty, and it’s real. Joining him is his fiancé Cassidy, adding a layer of love and support that brings warmth to the tumultuous narrative. This episode isn’t just about the darkness of addiction; it’s also about finding light in unexpected places. From his wild escapades to his current life in Del Ray Beach, Florida, Jesse’s story is a testament to resilience and transformation.
And as always, Dave spices things up with Dopey emails, voicemails, and even a cameo from his dad. If you’re looking for a podcast episode that combines dark humor with heartfelt moments, this one’s a must-listen.
