Hey Foo, Dave Manheim from @dopeypodcast pulls up with the fellas—swapping wild Dopey stories, debating harm reduction vs. abstinence, and opening up about losing a co-host and brother. We laugh, we get dark, and we rewind to when it really was all bad. Big thanks for having us at Dopeywood and christening the new studio as our first guest.

Today we’ve got our good friend, legendary skateboarder Jimmy Gorecki on the deck. Growing up just outside of Philly above a funeral parlor, Jimmy found his way to a local skatepark at 12, splitting his early years between skating and wrestling. Somewhere in that mix came the chaos too, by way of the bottle. That push-and-pull sharpened his edge, but it was one pivotal moment—landing a clean Backside Lipslide on a handrail across from Love Park—that set everything in motion. The trick was caught on film, and from there, things moved fast. That clip carried Jimmy far beyond Philly, opening doors around the world and eventually catching the attention of Fred Savage, who brought him on as a consultant for Zeke & Luther. From there, Jimmy carved out a new lane, transitioning from skateboarding into the world of streetwear, where his influence continues to resonate.

This one’s straight outta Covina — the sobriety capital of the world…or at least that’s what they told themselves.  Covina’s finest: Keith, Larry, and Chris trade war stories while Reno tries to keep up. From barefoot tweaker missions and 92-day crack runs to prison stretches, scrapyard scores, and the legendary Fish Bong incident…this one goes all the way off the rails.
