Heres an old PJ Ladd one from 2001 (Element/Coliseum days) where he didn't know he was being interviewed. It's not as badass as something from Andy Roy or Harold Hunter but it's a decent read.
Also Terry Kennedy interviews are good just to laugh at him. I can't believe some of the shit that guy says...
10/22/01 (Matt's House watching Tactical Manual Promo)
PJ: Oh sick, you've got some of the old Coliseum small stickers.
Matt: Yeah, take them. What got you so pumped on Plan B?
PJ: Questionable, that's it. It was so raw! I never watched anything else, like I never saw any of the old World Videos or anything. I hadn't even seen Tim and Henry(Blind video).
(PJ's car) PJ: Did you see what happened(points to a dent in the car)?
Matt: What've you been stoked on lately?
PJ: What do you mean?
Matt: Just in general.
PJ: I don't know, ohhhhh, ES!
PJ: Hey did you see that show "SKATE"?
Matt: No.
PJ: Oh, Jesus it was bad. Just fucking horrible.
Matt: Sounds terrible.
PJ: How fucking horrible, I didn't even see Danny Way. How rad was Skate TV(1991).
Matt: What have you been skating lately?
PJ: Flatground and boxes.
Matt: Did you learn any new box tricks?
PJ: I've got some stuff up my sleeve. It's secret. Tricks are getting easier for me, I think.
Matt: Oh yeah, really?
PJ: Yeah it's cool, I've been healthier lately, I've been sleeping. Like back in the warehouse days, I never slept. (watching footage)
PJ: You got Alexis' tricks on the computer? Matt: Yeah.
PJ: How rad is she? She rips! (PJ footage)
PJ: That's my footage? I better go film, I only have like 5 tricks. (still watching)
PJ: Flat bars are the greatest! I've got to find some new spots!
Matt: What's your favorite board graphic of all time?
PJ: Of all time? I don't know, I love that new Penny with him on the bike.
Matt: How often did you get boards when you were younger?
PJ: I worked at my parent's store for lunch money, I'd save it and just buy boards, I wouldn't eat, but I'd get a board once a month.
Matt: When did you first come down to the shop?
PJ: 1998
Matt: Oh yeah, I tried to give you those trucks and you wouldn't take them.
PJ: Yeah, Destructos, I paid you. (watching the Andrew Reynolds Coliseum website interview)
PJ: Holy Shit! That was funny, "do something Ali!"
PJ: So Matt, are we going to Spain?
Matt: Yes, no, yes, no, no, no yes. Are you going to Australia (with Element)?
PJ: I guess.
Matt: Why is Plan B the best skate company of all time?
PJ: It was just a bunch of fucking teenagers, psyched on skating, they weren't making a lot of money, they were just skating. Danny way did a nose blunt 270 out, grinded a double kink and skated vert all with the same style. You should know that! You should know as much as I do!
Matt: What's been in the PJ jukebox?
PJ: PJ what? You're doing an interview right now, aren't you! What the fuck! NO, NO, NO!
Matt: Let's do an interview.
PJ: No, no.
Matt: Who would win in a fight, me against Ryan Kingman (Element team manager)?
PJ: Kingman. That dude is burly.
(Matt commenting on the photos PJ shot in Melrose today for an ad) Matt: Why don't you use that ollie over the rail for an Element ad?
PJ: If I could backside 180 it, maybe.
Matt: You're going to do a bs 180 over that?
PJ: We got kicked out second try. Let's go eat! Oh, I've got the generator.
Matt: Do you want to go check ou that double set in Stoneham(MA)?
PJ: Yeah, ok.
Matt: Is your van hurting?
PJ: Yeah! I put it in drive and it won't go. It's so sick! I've got no money to fix it.
Matt: I've got a flyer here for a contest in Deleware, 1000 bucks for first.
PJ: I don't know, a contest? Contests are lame.
PJ: So what about Spain?
Matt: It's a go, I've just got to talk to Ryan.
PJ: When are we premiering the Expedition Video? Matt: Mid-November.
PJ: How about the Coliseum Video (PJ Ladd's Wonderful/Horrible Life)?
Matt: Week after.
PJ: Oh shit, I better get footage. Did you buy the tickets for Spain?
Matt: Emmmm. Not yet.
PJ: We aren't going, are we?
Matt: Didn't you go snowboarding with Element?
PJ: Yeah, to Mammoth Mountain.
Matt: Did you snowboard?
PJ: Fuck no! I sat in the hotel room the whole time. Actually, I skated in the basement of the lodge, I was the only one that brought a board.
Matt: So the whole team was snowboarding and you were skating flatground in the basement?
PJ: Yes.
Matt: Why does that not surprise me? (double set Stoneham)
Matt: There it is with the wood down it.
PJ: Oh shit!
Matt: The Stoneham boys were here.
PJ: Damn, that's long. The Stoneham kids are rad. There's always a different crew. I like the Stoneham Skatepark, it's my favorite park. It's got the box, the flatbar, and all the shit can be moved around.
Matt: They're redoing it in the Spring.
PJ: I really like that park, there's no spots in Boston you can go to and just skate, except maybe Navy Yard. (gas station)
PJ: There's some guy behind us wearing a Tony Hawk sweatshirt, what a dork. Come on Mr. Cuisine, where can we get food?
Matt: What do you want?
PJ: Pizza and french fries, lets go to Papa Ginos. (inside reading the new Slap)
Matt: Here's Ryan's part. He says some funny shit.
PJ: Look at all the Coliseum ups(stickers and Tshirts)!
PJ: Hey, Ryan said something about Nike wanting him to ride for them.
Matt: He'd better not!
Matt: You talked to Donny lately?
PJ: Yeah, he's at the new Element place. He's been skating a lot.
Matt: So we're only waiting for your interview for the website.
PJ: I know! I'm going to do it! Matt: How about new questions, what should I ask you?
PJ: Start with, what's wrong with you, why can't you land anything?
Matt: I'm taking out my fake notebook.
PJ: Well, I can only find time to skate once a month, other than that, I chill out with my dogs!
PJ: I'll get that interview, don't worry.
