Midway through (just said the Gator/Hosoi chick) so far pretty interesting

Solid episode. It includes all the standard Grossoisms but it's cool to get more in depth discussion about a lot of it. Drugs certainly made him into a real piece of shit, so it's comforting to know that he's made it most of the way back to being a decent human being. I hope he finds some way to enjoy life other than skateboarding so he doesn't relapse in the long run, or worse.

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

   People shine a light on their use of drugs in an attempt to get somewhere in the skate-sphere or use their addiction history as social media currency.  It's worked for grosso, I think, I mean he's on the show and heres the thread.  Not saying Grosso doesn't rip cause he does but so do a lot of 80s pros.  Grosso has set himself apart and has a decent brand cultivated.   (yet another nine club I got maybe 2 minutes into)       Edit    -anyway my larger point is that PROHIBITION HAS CREATED THIS BULLSHIT 'drugs are cool' CULTURE.  Drugs aren't cool, they don't make you cool.  Drugs are not 'naughty' -there just what they are.  And you should have the legal right to consume what you want to- no big D.  Human rights!!

Jeff has stated in other interviews that drugs aren't cool and neither is glamming them up,but if someone asks he will tell,obviously.I'm sure his usage gave him a sort of image on par with his skateboarding,but really he is pretty vocal and his opinions on skating are widely known as is his appreciation (love letters).  That sort of sets him apart from the other 80s guys.

Damn I left my bubbler at my parents house

 um yah if you watch ONE of his interviews it would appear that way but if you look at a lot of his shit in succession you'll notice he's been on the tit with it.  Like I say it's worked.  But he pounded away at it and has def rammed it down throats, why pretend he hasn't? It wasn't loveletters that 'set him apart' jeff was vocal about his junkie shit in the 90s and remained relevant as opposed to the other 80s dudes cause lucero sponsored him. Grosso had no way to make a living and couldn't 'move on' like the other 80s dudes.  So now we're stuck with him.

Lover letters helped in the last decade but thats not what I meant that set him apart. I agree with you,it was his shit he talked in the 90s and on(being vocal). We're going to be stuck with a lot of 90s and early 2000s pros so get ready,the gofundme shit isn't over yet!

That whole era of skateboarding sounds like an utterly dog shit experience. Bunch of insecure secret clubhouse gatekeepers that frankly act more jock-ish than the people they're "rebelling" against. Guess you had to be there

Episode ended abruptly...felt like he said some shit about Billy Marks and to edit it out with a standard outro would have dragged the episode longer than it had already dragged and would have looked weird so it just ended

I dunno
Just the feeling i got from it

what he said about duane was tough to hear. i never really gave it much thought but duane's been sober before, been quasi together and playing shows.
i kinda figured he'd touch back down but maybe his mind is gone for good?
or maybe grosso's wrong.
either way it was kinda scary.

Grosso is the man. Had some of the best graphics ever as well.

A prime example for me to absolutely stay sober for as long as I can... He has always been very outspoken about his druguse and always was honest about it. That it sucked and that it ruins lives...

I love the grumpy old dude...

Surprised he didn't mention his son, part of why i like his IG so much is seeing his posts about how proud he is of the goo.

It's called active listening, and I honestly bet it keep the guests talking. If you were in a room with them ranting for an hour and no one said a thing, I am sure it would have an effect on you.

Not quite.. he doesn't have to say mmm-hmm all the time to show that he's actively listening. He can nod and say yeah every now and again.

I'm also getting tired of the interview format.. I'd like to hear more opinions from their guests about the state of skateboarding today.

Right, exactly what I thought. This episode was great, imo, but I thought we'd get a solid 15-20 minute ramble about teaching his son to skate given how thoughtful his IG posts about it are.

Love Grosso.

Honored and stoked that a copy of my video ended up on the bookshelf. I certainly wasn't expecting it.
