Just watched, common topic of conversation when talking about the nine club but Chris’s interviewing was specifically bad in this episode, 60% of the time he’d talk it would be about himself to make some joke n mark wouldn’t even laugh, he just ended up interviewing himself, still great listen tho
-
I saw Heckride's Instagram story about it. It's just embarrassing at this point. He's so focused on making the show this big YouTube thing that he's putting in zero work in actual researching the guests. Take a page out of Sean Evans' book.
-
3 hours im stoked. https://youtu.be/KumTOq3sO1I
-
There’s something refreshing about hearing one pro call another pro a dick. Are there any other people that have openly criticized Silas other than him and Austyn?
-
3 minutes in and I can’t stand it. Crob making 10 jokes back to back and poor Kelly having to fake laugh after each one.
-
Started off a little rocky but it smooths out
-
cmon, sure research is poor as always, but that was a great chat.
-
really enjoyed listening to the first half last night and will probably just restart it today from the beginning. he's a good talker and very thoughtful.
he also roasts chris so hard at 1:32:00, it was great.
-
Skimmed thru the video seems like Kelly does most of the questioning. (But as I said Skimmed so I could be wrong)
Maybe crob just can't ask questions. He was the guy on the ground at sls and everytime they cut to him he just kind of waffled while skaters had to listen then figure out a response to his awkward non question
-
First 9 club that I watch/ listen in a while, overall good because Mark is interesting. But fuck the first 10 min were hard to listen to, I am not used to listening to Crob anymore.
He never ask interesting questions and only say stuff "Oh I could never do that" "Interesting" "Gotcha". Comparing with other skate podcast (bunt, vent city or mostly skataboarding) it's crazy how bad his interviewing skills are.
-
Crob - "Walker Ryan wrote a GREAT book..... I still havn't read that"
Haha.
Great episode though. Didn't think I'd sit through it but Mark is interesting and very easy to listen to.

Yea even Mark is like damn I wish we didnt start this off with why i took a break from skating

Really hardto listen to. We get it roberts you were a pro skater . Also kinda funny at the beginning suciu said he wasn’t from san jose but saratoga

truly, honestly, it was not hard to listen to. it was a great interview. if you want a hard-hitting, nail-biting, reveal filled interview watch 20/20 or something
-
Halfway thru as they’re talking about Verso and I’m noticing Suciu seems so relieved whenever Jeron cuts in because he actually has SOMETHING TO SAY. Half of this dialogue seems to be Crob and Kelly banging rocks together and talking over each other

I mean there’s definitely good stuff spread through the 3 hours. Suciu is one of the best and he’s a smart guy so it’s interesting hearing him talk about skating, but the way this interview or whatever you want to call it is done is just terrible. I’ll keep trying to listen over the week but it’s hard for me to not turn it off

Really looking forward to this one. I enjoy Nine Club as an audio experience while working/commuting etc. But when I watch the videos I understand the irritation with the lack of questions and poor research. Because the camera cuts to CRob it is far more obvious. I think CRob has become worse. He used to be quite charming. He is trying too hard to copy non skate podcasts and presenters (stop watching Joe Rogan, or at least stop telling us about it). The audience for Nine Club is only going to be skaters. If your show is popular with skaters then the sponsorship etc will flow. Especially older skaters with more income to spare on bizarre colllabs and health food product placement. Skaters are a forgiving audience. Just get out of the way. Or be funny. I relistened to Skin Phillips the other day. They spend the first ten minutes swearing. It's great.
Suciu is one of the most interesting people in Skateboarding. It should be impossible to butcher. just let him talk!

Saratoga isn't downtown or East side san jose, its in the west hills and mostly well off people live there.

Seriously though, are there people out there that actually think he is good at interviewing? He’s been on the last two sls live streams interviewing people and it’s even more cringy because he’s seems completely unprepared has no idea what to say. Just awkward studdering and babbling. Get this guy off the camera and behind a desk typing status reports.

The show does not need hard hitting questions , just good conversation but Crob has no flow sadly. When the guest finish a sentence, he just repeats the last word with a « wooow » after. Also he tries to be the comic relief most of the time but often miss.
Jeron and Kelly bring something genuine to the table tho.
The ep was still good (because of the guest) and they do a good job in general. It’s a nice little oral history for skateboarding but definitely jarring at times.
Like I would never listen to an ep without knowing and beeing interested in the guest already

Saratoga isn't downtown or East side san jose, its in the west hills and mostly well off people live there.
I think if his parents bought a while back, it wasn't as expensive as it was to todays standards. I know a guy that was born and raised their and his folks just had sort of normal white collard jobs but I guess that is all you needed to live there.
And to be honest.....if his dad almost made autofocus for cameras, he deserves to live their. I'd be shit without it cause I can't manual focus for anything.

That was shocking. And apparently his dad did indeed invent autofocus. I only got about halfway through, but that's pretty amazing.
-
Yeesh, Crob is such a garbage interviewer. Every time Suciu starts talking Crob brusts in interrupting with some anecdotal BS about himself. That's an obvious sign of a person who's not actually listening; it signals to the more intelligent people in the room that this person's interested only as far as they can tie the conversation back to themselves.
I'll probably finish the interview at some point (only because it's Suciu) but for real, you people defending Crob have no taste or no sense or both; the dude's a total pea-brained egotist.

I know, the san jose bay area was cheap in the 80s-early 90s. my parent got a house in the early 90s on the border of san jose/milpitas and the house is 8x the price it was then .
the vibe from that area (saratoga, campbell, los gatos, cupertino) from as long as i remember has mostly lacked people of color. There's a hesitancy from people who live in those areas around here, a lot of times they say they are from santa clara or san jose or silicon valley.

Dude called Silas a dick and Silas over there polishing ol' Rusty and giggling.

like what do you honestly expect from these people? could crob research and bring sean evans questions to each interview? of fucking course. but he doesn't. he flies by the seat of his britches and for that, I respect him and the format. I'll take crob any day over the fucking Canadian jock bros who act like hood dudes on their audio-only podcast. GTFO none of the show is as bad as any of you are saying. acting like you're some sort of podcast lords of quality. give me a break

Isn't Saratoga its own city? Some people identify with that more than the MSA they are apart of.

What's wrong with modern society people, lowered expectations.
Good for you homie, but I don't think a lot of his interviewee's "respect him for that", including Suciu. I'm not a fan of the bunt either but they are significantly better at interviews. One you can tell they actually do the "research" (like watching skate vids is somehow too much work for Crob) and two, they are genuine with their guests and each other.

It is but it's just really small city to the point where if you aren't from that area, you would never know it exists. That is what makes the Bay Area so odd at times. Like I never go north to Marin area (when you cross the Golden Gate Bridge from SF) and when I do, it's like a different world out there.

I dunno, it's weird. I'm from a fairly large city (Toronto) and when I moved out of town for university but in province, it used to drive me a bit nuts when I asked people where they were from, and they'd say Toronto and then when asked whereabouts say some small suburb that isn't in the city (sometimes about to an hour outside city limits). I actually prefer Marc's specificness.

why is this being analyzed so much? they asked him where he was from and he told them.. if you were from pasadena you wouldn’t say you were from los angeles just to make it easy, you’d say you were from pasadena because, that’s where you are from and is the answer to the question. what is so confusing?

the san jose area is a lot different than LA tho. Saratoga is in the foothills of santa cruz mountains but definitely still san jose. I wish i didn’t even bring this up because it doesn’t really matter but oh well

Silas probably got it worse than he gave it to anyone considering he got on when Danny Renaud was still around. Who I feel has been mentioned as "worst teammate" on the Bunt more than anyone else.

Time stamps on the good literary refs? I want to hear him talk about WG Sebald not boring skate stories. I Silas’d the pod.

No one expects a journalistic genius, but crob honestly may be developmentally challenged. In the last episode with Blabac he misses the point and asks a question that was literally just answered so many times I lost count.
Blabac: "I was shooting Kalis, who was riding for Kevin Staab's company, 90 at the time..."
Crob: "Was Kalis even sponsored then?"
Blabac: "..."
It's almost impressive that someone who's been doing the same thing for a number of years has managed to avoid becoming even remotely proficient at the task.

Watch any nine club he has been doing this shit on a regular basis since the start. Who knows how much bullshit they edit out to make it look like he is even somewhat paying attention.
I already commented this in another topic but about crobs mental strength
Unfortunately I think crob is actually pretty simple. A few years ago there was that aori vs Leticia sls boardslide/lipslide thing and even tho it was explained to him multiple times that aori had already done the lipslide earlier he just kept saying something like "but lipslide is better"
-
Some cool stuff in there, an suciu seems like a cool dude with a great sense of humor.
I think it was hilarious when he gave Kelly shit for judging him too low in streetleague. ;D
-
Enjoyed the interview, Mark seems like good company......he seemed shocked when Chris couldn't remember who Suciu was battling for SOTY in 2019..........can we be sure that Crob isn't a massive smoker.....he recall / memory is terrible.
-
1:30:30 the PBR can turns into a Arrowhead water, and then back again at 2:39:49
Mark spoke really well. Thought he deserved SOTY in 2019, and It kind of feels like Thrasher led him on a bit. Not speaking to him after is kind of weird.
Chris is barely listening, he's asked a few things again after getting the answer a few minutes prior.
-
I enjoyed this, even though it seems like it’s the last thing Crob wants to be doing. Dude just wants to get the big bucks for games streaming
-
Watching now and really enjoying it. Only because Suciu is the man.
You can see Suciu doesn't think much of Crob from his facial reactions.
Also Kelly is asking all the interest question's.

As the biggest podcast in skating I think that guests deserve a bit more effort. I still enjoyed this but if you watch the Suciu bunt episode their questions specifically were much better and It seemed like they actually knew some history on him. That said I think Kelly was awesome in this interview. I'm also a fan of Jeron being around.

If you listen to the interview, Mark's dad worked on the technology but quit due to cameras being geared toward advanced shooters who he thought had no need for auto focus at the time. It was later officially patented by another dude. Are you Crob btw?

Same. I also live in the GTA and people always claim Toronto, like addmitting to living in Mississauga is so much worse. For me it gets a pass if you’re talking to some out of of province/country as they likely know where Toronto is, but not Guelph.
I can live with Chris’ lack of effort, but Kelly bursting out laughing at the top of his lungs is what kills the show for me. Is everything the funniest thing you’ve heard?

The original autofocus I think has the motor in the lens, like 5 years later Minolta built the motor into the body which really made the technology take off in my opinion. Who knows which version of autofocus he actually worked on.

I legit once heard some say a suburb north of Guelph as Toronto at a university in Ontario. I couldn't believe it. And, yeah, I get once out of country or province rule. Considering pretty much all the top skaters from "Toronto" are mostly from the surrounding suburbs but either moved away or live in the city now (Apples, Bobby, Morgan Smith, TJ).

Ok ill bite. Chris def negs the guests sometimes, and seems low energy in moments, so he’s not perfect. But why be so hard on a show with 3+ hours of content. With that much footage, theyre bound to say something you dont like. Why let it bother you? Cepha was criticized for seeming low energy on the Bunt last year, and they take half the year off. Nine Club blesses us with a show a week, plus two bonus shows. They hardly ever take a break and have been serving us new content weekly through the pandemic. Crob may need a vacation, and sometimes he’s a liability, but hes super good about listening to criticism. Kelly and Roger ultimately set the record straight. It’s at least interesting that he doesnt know everything and needs to have things explained in full. His energy through most of this episode is solid. I wont let little nitpicks I have get in the way of appreciating how solid their program is.

Lol his response to kfatty was expected he knows that area gets joked on a lot
Also correcting the poster that said Sunnyvale was his local park…closest park to Saratoga is Campbell skatepark. The skateparks in san jose are sketchy

Mark spoke really well. Thought he deserved SOTY in 2019, and It kind of feels like Thrasher led him on a bit. Not speaking to him after is kind of weird.
Chris is barely listening, he's asked a few things again after getting the answer a few minutes prior.
Ha! You can feel the energy was weird through a lot of that. Chris was fumbling a lot and I think it grated Mark who then decided to just have fun with it and throw some soft jibes back at Chris (and Kelly re: SLS).
The whole dynamic at the Nine Club is weird.
Chris really feel like he'd rather be watching day time tv fiddling with computers and his cat. Roger plays the introvert nerd who knows the most but is almost too afraid to say it. His little add-ins can be seen either as good points that state facts or annoyingly know it all. I wish he just had the self confidence to steer the interview and ask the harder questions.
Kelly is actually the glue that keeps it all together with some positive energy and authentic fan questions and insight.
I won't bother talking about the Experience.

Really hardto listen to. We get it roberts you were a pro skater . Also kinda funny at the beginning suciu said he wasn’t from san jose but saratoga
Saratoga isn't downtown or East side san jose, its in the west hills and mostly well off people live there.
Correct, Saratoga is an incorporated legal city of Santa Clara County. It is not San Jose.
ok this is the last i’m gonna comment on this. I know it is it’s own town. There are a bunch of different towns that are still considered san jose. Is campbell san jose? Is santa clara? What about sunnyvale? And i know sunnyvale isn’t the closest park to saratoga but he said in the show it’s the park he grew up skating
-
Ok ill bite. Chris def negs the guests sometimes, and seems low energy in moments, so he’s not perfect. But why be so hard on a show with 3+ hours of content. With that much footage, theyre bound to say something you dont like. Why let it bother you? Cepha was criticized for seeming low energy on the Bunt last year, and they take half the year off. Nine Club blesses us with a show a week, plus two bonus shows. They hardly ever take a break and have been serving us new content weekly through the pandemic. Crob may need a vacation, and sometimes he’s a liability, but hes super good about listening to criticism. Kelly and Roger ultimately set the record straight. It’s at least interesting that he doesnt know everything and needs to have things explained in full. His energy through most of this episode is solid. I wont let little nitpicks I have get in the way of appreciating how solid their program is.
except for the main criticism people have of him seemingly just waltzing in to do a show and not really knowing much about a guest aside from what he already know.
-
underrated part: how intensely kelly tries to make SLS seem like a legitimate and respectable part of skateboarding and not a simple moving billboard
-
Yeah, overall i think mark seems dope and not really pretentious like I’ve heard people say. Chris is goddamn terrible and not funny tho
-
Never took Suciu as a PBR guy
Seems more pumpkin spice latte
-
Nein Club got 1776 PBRs from Pabst for 4th of July, so most likely they just asked if he wanted a brew and they still have a bunch of those left over.
-
The bit about his SOTY run in 2019 made me wish there was currently more than 1 major skateboarding publication. Suciu or Tiago would have been a lock for one of the TWS awards if they were still around. I know it all doesn’t really matter that much but because skateboarding is subjective it would be nice to have another voice.

i can't remember what episode it was, but his energy was alluding to a concussion he suffered and was still recovering at the time of a majority of the interviews that season

It is but it's just really small city to the point where if you aren't from that area, you would never know it exists. That is what makes the Bay Area so odd at times. Like I never go north to Marin area (when you cross the Golden Gate Bridge from SF) and when I do, it's like a different world out there.
Same. I also live in the GTA and people always claim Toronto, like addmitting to living in Mississauga is so much worse. For me it gets a pass if you’re talking to some out of of province/country as they likely know where Toronto is, but not Guelph.
I can live with Chris’ lack of effort, but Kelly bursting out laughing at the top of his lungs is what kills the show for me. Is everything the funniest thing you’ve heard?
when i lived in hamilton, i would just say hamilton, hour outside of toronto.
but now i live in toronto now so 8)

Correct, Saratoga is an incorporated legal city of Santa Clara County. It is not San Jose.
1. Campbell, California is a legal city in Santa Clara County. It is not San Jose. https://www.ci.campbell.ca.us
2. Santa Clara, California is a legal city in Santa Clara County. It can also be confused for the County itself, much like Napa, California within Napa County. Neither are San Jose.https://www.santaclaraca.gov
3. Sunnyvale, California is a legal city in Santa Clara County. It is not San Jose. https://sunnyvale.ca.gov
Here to provide answers, I have no dog in this discussion other than Suciu's discussion of the Hopkins grind is cool.

Is really Silas a Dick? Im saying he is one of most boring skater ever....love you Mark.

Not saying Silas is or isn’t an asshole, I don’t know him personally. But I think if your in Norway and some little goober is talking about a nobbed rail in fucking Ohio, your in the clear to tell the kid to shut the fuck up……..right?

I think he is clarified so people wouldn't say "Fool claims he's from San Jose but he's a rich boy from Saratoga!"
Lol his response to kfatty was expected he knows that area gets joked on a lot
Also correcting the poster that said Sunnyvale was his local park…closest park to Saratoga is Campbell skatepark. The skateparks in san jose are sketchy
https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/santa-clara-county-district-attorney-unveils-host-of-community-grants/2602624/
"We have weapons, drugs, alcohol, prostitution issues at our skate park," Plata Arroyo Neighborhood
Campbell has been a pad nanny park since its inception in the early 2000s. Whilst many of those pad nannies were/ are fools that rip, Campbell and the forgotten Santa Clara park have failed to flourish a local scene due to their incompetence. Saw Mark at campbell in june 09 (i was 11) and otherwise I would just see him at sunnyvale, infrequently so from the cross continental era onward. Plata is fairly sketchy but fun. Suciu is from deep cuts saratoga (two professionals degrees in a household area) so for him to say he's from there makes a lot more sense than even west san jose or campbell, because saratoga is a bit different from those areas in demographics and suburban geography.

if he was super good at listening to criticism, he would prepare interviews
it's been years people complain about this lack of preparation. he doesn't even bother hiding it
I don't think people ask for much, just a little bit of effort doing his job.
it seems he's more than happy with being the most clueless in the room everytime (when eldy's not here)
he should show some more respect to guests and listeners
it's only solid when the guest is solid
a solid show would be solid whatever the guest
-
Mark had a weird injury during Away Days, did any of his classmates recognize him at college, filming for sabotage more in depth as well as the Philadelphia video with Mulhern. Things like that that Crob neglected or didn’t even think to ask.

Ridiculous thread. You clowns are way too negative.
This was Mark talking for 3 straight hours and covering a bunch of interesting topics. I love how everyone acts like Crob is a disaster and the show is a sinking ship but yet 1) they keep getting increasingly amazing guests to join for increasingly long conversations 2) some episodes turn out incredible. Crob is conversational and definitely can't school the guest with FACTS and LOGIC like the SLAP Pals think they could in their head, but maybe that is why people enjoy coming on? Because they can just run through stuff and share what they want, rather than have Crob dig up some obscure factoids or ugly company drama for them to respond to live on camera?
I agree this isn't Inside The Actors Studio but this, the Blabac, Eli Gesner, Anthony Claravall, and many others are incredibly long and, to me, interesting interviews. At this point, the number of good episodes they've had indicates to me that they do have a way of drawing out interesting stuff from their guests, even if it isn't by asking questions like "So Mark, tell us why you hate Silas Baxter Neal" or whatever like some of you seem to be suggesting they do.
Comparisons to the bunt (which i also love) aren't valid IMO, because those are much, much shorter and way less conversational. They are literally asking questions from a script. The Nine Club is clearly meant to be more conversational and wandering.
But I do agree with many others in this thread that Kelly and Jeron definitely help. Kelly is kind of the MVP for actually asking targeted questions.

Well put.
I think that the Nine Club is more of a Talk Show at this point and people are not ready for it.
-
Good talk show hosts generally know how to "yes and" and not slow down a convo by making guests repeat themselves, making illogical statements or just talk about themselves.

And to be honest.....if his dad almost made autofocus for cameras, he deserves to live their. I'd be shit without it cause I can't manual focus for anything.
That was shocking. And apparently his dad did indeed invent autofocus. I only got about halfway through, but that's pretty amazing.
He mentioned his dad published a paper in relation to his autofocus work. I think this is it.

I really like the way you phrased all of this. Totally agree Chris’s energy/naïveté is often in service of getting guests to open up. Why do people see Kelly/Roger/Jeron chiming in or taking over at times as a negative? That’s a win to have some different perspectives and personalities. And it does seem like posters here are overlooking the quality of the conversations that have occured on nine club, especially since its come back this summer. It’s way harder to make guests comfortable enough to open up on camera, versus say audio-only, especially with the pressure that would come from releasing such a big interview online. For the most part, they do an incredible job.

I enjoyed listening to Suciu, he seems refreshingly intelligent in a world full of high school drop outs with zero integrity. This interview also made me go back to re watch verso. Its still sick.

I was coming here to say basically the same thing. I actually stopped that episode to watch Verso, then went back to finish it (then after, watched Verso again). That Verso video is definitely not something that should be a watch once and forget about thing. I’ve been thinking about that second to last truck for a week or so now.

the issue is that crob is bad at conversations.
a bunch of great interviewers have been mentioned, but one i haven't seen yet is sam jones. Off Camera is the best interviews i've ever watched, hands down. the full episodes are incredible, because a) he does his research b) can hold a conversations and c) knows when to just let his guest speak.
https://youtu.be/FfCsVPJsw-E
similarly, the chris rose rotation. hour+ long conversations 3-4 times a week. He'll know how old the guests kids are, where they went to high school, the team the debuted on, how they pitched the night before, etc.
https://youtu.be/WwRZudGtU_0?list=PLpXmDLTX2Wt9P_EVNZf3SfqMhsJ9oB7SG
you don't have to work off a predetermined script to be a good interviewer, but you gotta be able to guide a conversation and have it feel naturally. crob is truly awful at that.
-
it is wild how uptight you toronto guys get about people claiming your area who are from sauga or oshawa or whatever lmao
no one from guelph would ever claim toronto, there is like 100 km of farm land in between
Toronto’s weird because people will be all the way in Barrie and collingwood and claim Toronto for some reason but dudes who live in Scarborough or north York don’t even look as those districts as part of Toronto. You always know someone’s new to the city if they tell you they live in Toronto but are from Etobicoke (which is a district of the city) but unless you’re from central Toronto (midtown, east york, etc.) you shouldn’t be claiming the city you should be claiming yo district. And if you’re not living in any of the six and your not talking to a tourist you should never claim T.O.

Just came here to say I find all nine club episodes hard to listen to. Which is kind of relieving. Saves me from spending countless hours listening. And to be clear, it's all on the hosts.

I think the nine club is alright. Could definitely be improved with more interesting topics at times (it felt like they talked about injuries and rehab forever during Danny Way's interview). I can remember when they interviewed Davis Torgerson and at one point they were talking about some instagram game or something stupid like that.

They could just do some research aka do some work instead of bitch that they don’t do any preparation.

need to relisten to the bunt one but thouhht i remembered a main part of that being about how he had a crazy injury/illness and had to relearn how to skate. thought he would have at least mentioned that. wonder if that was a lie too

I totally understand it, but think that we have always had interviews on magazine that were a standard format ( name, age, sponsors, why do you like where you live, tour story) and then moving onto video, most of them lacked real content.
I think skateboarding is relying on the mysteriousness of characters, and even if at the nine club, don't fullfill all of our requests, most of the episodes are giving us more info than we had before.

Saratoga isn't downtown or East side san jose, its in the west hills and mostly well off people live there.
I think he is clarified so people wouldn't say "Fool claims he's from San Jose but he's a rich boy from Saratoga!"
this is 100% why he said that. Theres a recent interview with Nestor Judkins where he felt the need to specify that hes not from San Jose but Los Gatos which is where the rich people reside. some foos be hard up about claiming SJ
