Wtf is up with the nine club

[WhoCareZ]

The sad truth is that Crob and team aren’t influential enough to get Koston or Mullen on TNC, let alone celebrity skate fans, but Tony Hawk gets them on his podcast, which is objectively way worse than TNC

TNC is probably best to focus on having a mix of YT skate creators and up and coming core skaters on their show

Yet they've had Tony Hawk himself on the show... Weird assumption considering the show is still bringing in new guests all the time and Crob has interviewed Koston recently on 2 different occasions outside of the main nine club.  My guess is Koston will be on soon, and not sure why Mullen hasn't yet since Jeron knows him. Gives us something to look forward to even if it never happens

They definitely have said that many times, as well as how they don't like to get into arguments with guests because that would be a bad strategy to get more guests to come on and/or open up.

As a journalist, that seems like such a horrible take. Sure, if I just write about what my interviewees want to read about themselves, I'd probably be able to speak with a wide selection of people. However, I'd be writing the most basic, milquetoast stories without any level of depth. Getting a lot of different guests is important for the Nine Club, sure, but if there's no actual substance in the interviews, people are eventually gonna get bored. There's a difference between constantly argueing and annoying guests and being a perceptive interviewer.

They’re not journalists. It’s a talk show, not hard hitting news.

People seem to want the show to be something completely different from what it actually is.

If they would actually express an opinion on anything, ever, I think they'd make more money. I'd guess GH makes more per month from his patrons than 9C does from all their various revenue streams, despite having about a fiftieth of the production overhead and no one to split it with.

Question is, will GH be able to keep 2,600 patrons longer than TNC can pump out 2 episodes/week?

crob doesn't seem to do any research on guests before recording, its often embarrassing how little he knows about the people he has on the show
kinda insulting levels of ignorance seeing as the guests are bringing in the views and in turn the money in his pocket

[CossRooper]

there are a number of very good episodes of the nine club. did any of you actually watch the O'dell or Colin Kennedy episodes? Those were insanely good even from a skate/skate history nerd perspective. if they interview a youtuber, i skip it, it's that easy. and personally, i think Crob has gotten better at doing prep and challenging guests a little bit post-Oblow.

I have no idea why some of you hate this show so much. the vitriol (and preachy GH dickriding) is crazy and way over the top.

The sad truth is that Crob and team aren’t influential enough to get Koston or Mullen on TNC, let alone celebrity skate fans, but Tony Hawk gets them on his podcast, which is objectively way worse than TNC

TNC is probably best to focus on having a mix of YT skate creators and up and coming core skaters on their show

Yet they've had Tony Hawk himself on the show... Weird assumption considering the show is still bringing in new guests all the time and Crob has interviewed Koston recently on 2 different occasions outside of the main nine club.  My guess is Koston will be on soon, and not sure why Mullen hasn't yet since Jeron knows him. Gives us something to look forward to even if it never happens

So they haven’t had Koston or Mullen so that doesn’t validate them or make them influential compared to who they’ve had over 7 years? Hawk, Grosso, Mountain, MJ, Reynolds, Alba, Carroll, Stevie, JT, Rowley, J Lee and that’s still a fraction of guys of that caliber as well as a ton of current skaters that are at the top of the game. Granted they’re not always great interviews or somewhat boring at times but no one else has really gotten close to who they have had in that respect.

episode 300 is on the horizon, i know we were expecting a huge one for 200 (jacob rozenberg was still great) but, i really think they will drop a banger for episode 300. koston makes a lot of sense but i’m still praying for rocco or natas.

I mean, yes, I want it to be good? That would be strikingly different from what it currently is.
I think only one person has invoked "hard-hitting journalism" or whatever.

I just want some research, some self-awareness, some general competency.

It would be cool if the guys running the number one platform for talking to skateboarders with significant cache cultural relevancy and influence were, you know, good at it.

You do realize that's the purpose of the show right?

[Ty Evans Lightman]

Now I find myself defending the show but there has been a clear change in approach by Chris to interviewing guests. I think the No research label was getting a bit too itchy even for him so he/they have started doing a bit of background research on their guests. Let’s not kid ourselves with the term deep diving. This is more like snorkelling in fairly shallow waters which is better than loafing on the sand and hoping to catch a glimpse.

[MexicanSpaniard]

Roger is texting Chris during the show

Roger really is the glue that’s hardly keeping 9club afloat. What the fuck does Steezus even do now? Does he still work somewhere that people actually call him Steezus?
Working the hat helpline for New Era hey this is Steezus how can I help you today which Lids location are you closest to?
