He seems unstable, no surprise there. It's funny because he tears up around the 13:00 minute mark and this goes off and on until the end of the interview which is almost 19:00. He loves to rant to anyone who will listen.

Did you ever hear that ultra exclusive Clash B-side, "I'm so tired of U MJ" ?
he needs to go out like Tesla already i'm sick of this shite
-
Hey Marc go skating, film it, and don't talk to the camera.
-
It's comical to hear his reasonings etc. He says the oddest things.
-
MJ pseudo-philosophical banter? ehh, seen it.

sorry Marc. still love u :-*
-
His skating is so good, and all he needs to do is basic shit.
-
He’s really making it hard to like him lately.
He is obnoxiously philosophical...
we gettttt itt dude you like to think.
Reminds me of dealer house when you get stuck there matching bowls and they fucking go on about fuck knows what and the whole thing becomes a pissing contest even when you fucking agree with them about their dumb ass theories and onservations...
-
One of life’s great missions is to align what you think and feel with what you manifest, what you participate in and create in the physical world. I think MJ has realized that his philosophical views do not and could not align with the industry and activity he’s trying to make a living off of. He cannot realize all of these things and then participate or else he just ends up looking like a hypocrite (adidas) over and over again. So he’s just imploding, he is constantly battling in his mind trying to reconcile how he can move forward with a board brand and pro career in a spiritually aligned way and it’s driving him crazy. When he speaks he speaks like someone in the middle of an argument always.
-
It's always funny when somebody decides that their "thing" is going to be "I'm an intellectual". I feel like people who are actually intelligent don't need to go out of their way with every waking breath to make sure everybody in the room understands that they're intelligent.

So you're saying he should lift his wings and branch off to a more fitting industry where they would understand his creative, innovative ideas and philosophies, such as the soap shoes movement for example.

Exactly, he’s too good for the skate industry, soap shoes #fortheculture

Did U just call MJ a basic bitch OMG LOL

if you randomly jump around by clicking the timeline it's fucking comedy gold.
-

For the love of God this!
-
More skate less talk.
-
Fuck all of you. I back this shit. Dude loves skateboarding but yeah he's coming to terms with some things. Either way can't refute his logic.
-
I honestly wouldn't mind if he shared his opinions but it's the fucking tone that he uses that irritates me.
-
If you click around on that vimeo channel there's a trailer that came out 10 months ago that has footage from this interview, so this must be pretty old. His 9 Club episode was a couple of months after that. Wonder how much time passed between the two. The difference between this interview and how he seems on the 9 Club is night and day.
-
MJ is on the money when it comes to how social media is used. You post what you want people to see. Everyone is essentially marketing themselves towards current and potential friends and lovers. Relationships were better before social media took over

I wondered how old it was because he was talking about Dylan in present tense like he hadn't passed away.
-
He keeps bringing up the idea of how long he's been skateboarding as opposed to how long he hasn't been skateboarding.
Even before Fully Flared came out, he wrote an article in The Skateboard Mag and mentioned that he'd just turned the age where he he's been skating for longer than he hasn't. Why is this so important to him?
Also questioning if he or Adidas would let a photo of himself run in a no-holds-barred magazine if the editorial was critical of Adidas, or ran bad shoe reviews of Adidas.

watching this from the toilet...

He's not the first person to say this and besides, he's wrong. Even not on social media, we are obsessed with presenting ourselves how we want to be seen and displaying our identity. Why do you think we buy the shit we can buy and feel like the things we own/buy/wear/eat are reflections of us? Controlled self-presentation is and always has been a part of everyday life and every relationship we have or want to have.
-
you guys think he's nuts now
just wait till he finally get sober
-
watching this from the toilet...
From a laptop I hope 😉
Just noticed something... This video isn't exactly "hot off the press"
He talks about Dylan Rieder in present tense, like he was still alive at the time.
This is an outtake from a documentary about skateboarding media.
This is probably a couple years old. Just putting some context in there
-
Yet another interview with Marc about things everybody already knows...
Him gushing about how good Jenkem is was funny considering he got kicked off Chocolate on their website haha.
-
It's always funny when somebody decides that their "thing" is going to be "I'm an intellectual". I feel like people who are actually intelligent don't need to go out of their way with every waking breath to make sure everybody in the room understands that they're intelligent.
I feel like it also has to do with validation. For example, I work in software, and my peers are obviously all pretty smart. However, they're also compensated for their intelligence. Thus, no festering insecurities. I've never had a team with any personality remotely similar to Marc's. Non-work related conversations among my current team are about whatever shitty reality TV show we're currently watching.
-
I enjoyed listening to his thoughts and critiques. It's refreshing even if this isn't exactly recent.
Obviously, some dark shit happened in his childhood. Glad he found skating.

One of my favorite quotes is from that. Something along the lines of you just run out of stuff to say to people.
-
This must be the leaked Brink interview
-
What he's saying isn't wrong (well, for the most part... memory doesn't work that way), it's just not as profound as he thinks or as he's trying to make it sound.
When he says "and you know it can get gnarly at Jenkem" that could be a reference to the Mike Carroll interview, no?

Hmm, I agree with you to an extent, but we are showcasing these things now more so than ever. It isn't egotistical to eat lobster at home, it is if you share a picture of you eating lobster on instagram. You agree?
-
I hope he is mentally in a better place now. He kind of seems like because of his rough childhood he maybe chose the wrong career path for his talents. I understand skateboarding was his getaway from family problems like for many others but I don't know if it was the right one for him. And because skateboarding doesn't value having brains he's stuck in a place where he doesn't have the right skill set to do anything else so he has to stick with it. Being in the twilight years of his career he is realizing that he has kind of wasted his talent on his the first option to get out of his miserable childhood conditions rather than maybe waiting and getting a degree on something more suitable for his mind. Not to say he isn't one of the greatest to ever do it but that doesn't mean shit if you aren't good with you internally. Sorry for the psychoanalysis and rambling just my two cents.
Would be stoked to see some skateboarding from him though.

Yep
-
I got to the :35 second mark and by that stage he had made one valid point that was reasonably thought provoking. (to my brain anyway.) And then I peaced out on it while the gettin was good.

Its good to have some dirt on you, its man shit.
-
i read apparently that this was filmed like a day or two after the Carroll drama and he got kicked off Chocolate.
maybe that makes it better? still not gonna watch it either way.
-
in that first minute when he's talking about how terrible it is that everyone is posting filler content, was that before or after he made that terrible adidas matchcourt ad?
-
The edit doesn't help, makes it look like it's one big run-on monologue.
Which I'm sure Marc is perfectly capable of pulling off on his own. He and the
new 'woke' Jim Carrey should date. Still love the guy though.

still running that bily's new whip shtick i see

That's from unfiltered cigs or roll ups. But still, I smoke a lot a roll ups and my fingers are no way near that bad. I gotta rub em on my griptape to get it off. Could be poop.
-
someone shut this cunt up - he's constantly shitting himself all over the internet
-
maybe chose the wrong career path for his talents.
Yeah you ever seen the dude make a funny face and voice with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth? Or roll by the camera and pretend he's rowing a boat? He could have had a bright future as a comedian. Wasted his talent on skateboarding.
-

Come on Marc, stop hating on people with new whips. Use your Adidas money to get a new Prius and drop it!
-
Damn, maybe he should talk to a therapist or something? Seems like he's starting to lose a grip on things. I agree with a lot of shit he says about instagram though. Throughout the years he always seemed like a happy fun dude to be around and now he seems like such a downer about everything. I guess the whole thing with Carroll and getting kicked off Chocolate did a number on him? I'd have to pull up that thread and go through it again because I honestly can't remember all the details about that anymore even though it wasn't that long ago.

I'm kind of with you on this except I don't think wasted talent, nor 'wrong career path' is the right way to put it. I do think there is something there though.. in his mind that maybe he's worried about age catching up to him one day? And this connects with what you said about him having to stick with it because of the lack of skills skateboarding really gives you in the 'real world.' Even though he doesn't openly say it he seems overly anxious and stressed all the time more now than he ever did. I could just be over analyzing though.
-
You guys just don't understand the progressiveness that Adidas has granted him.
-
I got bored but I do agree with some stuff he said. For example, I'd rather watch AO fuck around than watch Shane O'Neil sleep walk through another ridiculous ledge trick.
-
I don't really get the hate. I kind of skipped through it a bit, I'm not gonna sit there and listen to it all, but it's just a guy talking some shit on a porch, no?
-

People think he's got a shtick. It crystallized for me in that skit he does wearing the long coat and ball cap. I can't even critique his interviews cause I'm not gonna sit there thru it. I started disliking Marc and Louie simaltainiously. Louie shakes his hair around during tricks and panders alot.

sif he isn't fingering his own butthole every time he releases one of these interviews.
> hates digital media
>> releases 99% of his recent interviews via digital media

You take that back about sweet, sweet, loveable Captain Lou, you god damn son of a bitch.

I liked it for a time, his man down part was really good. I could say just as much good stuff about the guy I guess. It's just a build up for me. Prolly boils down to that hair cut. He kinda was just putting out the transition skating at the end and I wasn't liking that as much as his street. But he desearves the love for his skating AND personality. I just got turned off personally by all the camera mugging he does. He might be decent and so might Marc. I have my shiddy little opinion on slap but in real life I'm open to meeting people in person cause you never know what there like.
-
I wish he would just skate instead of talk in this thing I clicked on titled "Marc Johnson interview". Come on Marc let the skating do the talking. He doesn't have any skate footage anywhere that I can watch!
And if he's going to give an interview, how DARE he "think" and attempt to contribute anything different or that he finds interesting. I just wanna hear about how the team went to Sacramento and everyone else on the team is chill >:(

By wasted talent do you mean thinking you are way more intelligent and enlightened than you are and talking in a condescending manner to try and prove it?

Total tangent but when Louie came to my hometown I saw him eat a subway sandwich. Broke the illusion
I guess.

Doesn't the guy think the pyramids were built by aliens and shit? I don't think an overabundance of brain power is his issue. I do love his skating though... When I was a youngster he was probably my favorite dude out. I thought he was the funniest/funnest guy, but now that I'm almost as ancient and decrepit as he is, he seems like a psycho.

Nah it’s cool man, if we a agreed on everything this place would get stale pretty fast.
I’ve defended MJ on here too as I think he’s got some serious demons, but I just simply refuse nowadays to rehash the argument as the cyclical arguments didn’t seem to have an end. That and despite his issues he’s continually putting himself out there, which until he finds sobriety is just asking for criticism.
-
^ It's good to hate but I like slap for attacking haters too. I'm the hater in this situation for sure but I've defended pros I like, Louie is defendable cause he's brought something to the skate table if you look at his career . I can see why you would defend someone who put the work in and left an impression on the art of skating.
-
If you hate on Louie you're an idiot.

If you hate on Louie you're an idiot.
Again I ask a person; why is it okay for me to slander MJ and not Louie Barletta? If you start answering why it's okay to bash Marc I'd ask you if you knew him personally, and you'd prolly say no and list stupid internet reasons why its okay to 'hate on' Marc. I'm fine dude if you like Louie Bareletta bunny ears and the whole thing. Just that slap 'love' gets pretty same shit with the pet names; aa captain lou oneeight and the dogmatic heath appreation (hes rad but there's alot of amazing pros, tons)
