[HATE!]

Great interview as usual, Chris.  I hope nothing but the best for Rob and AWS.  I love that he said he would hire everyone back and he wants Bo Turner to be the head of security, hahaha!

[johnnymousedoom]

nice interview. I like that he is able to change the contest into a better format ( it seems, i only watched street league once in my life)

[Filip]

Good shit. Workshop is tight, and so is Rob.

[cornholio]

Yeah that was some good shit. I really hope bastien makes it in he is definately electric.

[PTDK]

Dyrdek is so hard not to like. I met him randomly in California one time and he was the raddest dude. So much of what he does could be considered wack if done by anyone else.

[Patey]

seriously though its hard to hate the guy

[PTDK]

Seriously.

[Donkey Lips]

Good interview. Nice pitch for him to hire you at the end there, Chris.

[LIVEfromthe3one5]

Great interview, dude really is hard to hate on because he loves skateboarding forreal. I gotta say I love how Nieratko brought up Dyrdeks Time Machine. I've seen numerous references to it in Big Brother but I want to read the Big Brother article where Rob first bought it

[layzieyez]

Caught a typo (says Habit instead of Habitat 2nd paragraph).  Otherwise, very good insight into Dyrdek.

[BraveUlysses]

Hmm Habit isn't a bad name for a company

[victor333]

seriously though its hard to hate the guy

Seriously.

[Bubblegum Tate]

this had me trippin'

In 1991, Rob Dyrdek once cashed in a royalty check from Alien Workshop for $2. Last week, he purchased the brand and its distribution from former owner Burton.

What's the reality of Jason Dill becoming the vice president of Alien?
Well, it wasn't going to be the vice president he was going to be "The" president. When this first happened I envisioned putting out monthly videos of Dill explaining what's going on with the brand. I wanted to shoot an episode around making Jason Dill the president.

Please make this happen. Would love to see the stock portfolio outlook with Dill in a suit breaking down pie charts and sales graphs...

I kinda think this would have a cool Dr. Steve Brule vibe to it.

[chockfullofthat]

"Can I suggest some other personnel? I was thinking Fred Gall could be the head of public relations."

Asking the questions that need to be asked!  Nice work.  Regarding Street League....I'm glad he is tinkering with new formats because what he had was not working.  Still, the odds of me tuning in are slim.
 

[RevertEverything]

Great interview. I would like nothing more than to have Bo Turner back in the skateboard industry. Rob, please make this happen. What about Lenny Kirk as "spiritual adviser"?

I would really look forward to these videos if this is how they were designed.

[DaSk8D00D]

I like the new contest format & im curious to see what the run section of the new courses will look like.

funny how MTV was the one asking Dyrdek to do Ridiculousness. yall see how he flipped that tv money into ownership of Alien Workship? take notes son

[skate_bored]

Hmm Habit isn't a bad name for a company

Habit could just be guys that used to be on Baker or Deathwish. Shit, on what other team would you find Guy, Gino and Antwuan Dixon? Dream team baby!

Way too up-river. Put that in your chocolate malk.

[DerpyHooves]

I'm totally backing that bit about Dill doing monthly videos, that would be rad.

[waltercronkite]

hahahaha... Rob.0

[Swishersweetswag]

Great interview. Rob has the sickest life ever pretty sure people only can hate if their haters. I miss seeing blunt roaches in his ash tray on Rob & big.

[DCLOVE]

I love how he's just like yeah fuck that other show but, they pay me so screw it. We need more people getting paid to do bullshit and actually using it to help skating.

[Ollie Fakie]

He better hire Lenny Kirk back and make him The High Priest of The Workshop.
