i have a feeling Carroll is holding back some information that could potentially end marc's career

i also have a feeling that marc will pull a billy rohan in the near future

pray for both billy and marc

Shit, I was gonna add Billy Marks and Chris Haslam, but Adam Dyet might have both of those dudes beat.

I agree that MJ's ''I've got ideas and Lakai can't keep up with them'' sounds very douchey, but what has Lakai done in the recent years to try to get people more excited about them?

To be fair, I wouldn't be accepting advice on how to run a company from an alcoholic who has evidently (this is a word that means that there is evidence behind this statement, for those of you who have poor reading comprehension) fallen off of the wagon.

That would definitely be a factor as well, but that's not to take away from Daewon's gift of good looks. He reminds me of this episode of Eerie Indiana a long time ago where this family slept in tupperware containers and only aged at half the rate of other people.

You wont belive but I remember that episode.
That's awesome! Coincidentally, I am driving through Indiana right now, and there are definitely some weird places out here. Michigan City, Indiana feels like the Bombay Beach of the midwest.

Nah, I'll +1 to Marks on Beanies Rushmore.  Tying the knot wearing a beanie on is dedication.  If Marks is buried in a casket, he'll have his beanie on.

Billy's doing well right now. But a prayer in his direction never hurts.

I think the real shame here is the shift of focus from what I'm hearing is an amazing video from Adidas.
All that hard work from the team getting sidelined.
That new Boil The Ocean piece makes sense, especially points 1-4. Points 5-10 feel like a movie I've seen before and want to see again.

MJ looks cooked in that interview. I also didn't really understand any of his points, like he speaks in non sequiturs but really passionately like he's mega pissed up. I feel bad for Daewon, he just got rango'd into this and he seems really lovely.

Eerie Indiana was the bomb. I watched the whole thing a while ago. Nostalgia is a good thing. Talking about good things from Eerie Indiana...

Yeah I wouldn't take anything seriously from that MJ in the video, let alone give him creative control over the marketing of my company, but I can kinda understand his frustration when they're constantly doing paycuts, yet not trying to re-invent themselves in any way

My god.

Did Marc hibernate in a food dehydrator? What the fuck happened to him?


Pretty concerned for the man.

Is that quote from Jonas Mekas?

Also speculating on Marc's personal stuff is pretty lame.

Based on what we know, it's pretty clear that he was infected with asperger's just like Poppalardo.

All that hard work from the team getting sidelined.

They have no one to blame but the marketing team who decided they needed to put that terrible intro clip into the video.

On the personal stuff, have you not been on Slap before? The amount of speculation over Antwuan, Pops, Wenning, PJ etc could fill a phone book.

As for the intro clip, its was truly dumb and detracted from the video. If they wanted to put them in the video, do something subtle like what Nike did introducing Mariano with a clip in Koston's part. Don't do some school yard montage/ Daewon being driven around.

I wonder what Marc's big ideas for projects were that he just couldn't do with Lakai?

I would be very surprised if we see any type of project at all come from Marc Johnson via Adidas.
