Title: The Nine Club Experience?
Post by: maurice povich on August 30, 2017, 08:53:41 AM
This week the Nine Club announced a new show that cost money. Not sure where it streams from but wouldn't be shocked if it was on ETN. I enjoy free content and feel like the Monday episodes of the nine club are gonna start to suck because they are now hiding the best stuff behind a paywall on Thursdays. spend a buck every week to hear a bunch of moron callers waste all the air time by asking half baked questions? not sure yet. it seems like the nine club is impatient to cash in on the good shit they are doing. Maybe I shouldnt bash it until the first episode airs (not that ill see it tho). what do you guys think about the upcoming Nine Club Experience

Impatient? They have been doing this for free for over a year. It started out as a fun free project and expenses added up so in order to make it sustainable they are still offering the same free content while providing additional content to those that are willing to pay. What the fuck is wrong with this? Oh, right, absolutely nothing.

You'll never find out to see if the new show is good because you're unwilling to forego spending a fucking dollar to support skaters providing great skate entertainment/nerdery that they developed from the ground up in a completely organic manner? Cool.

the result are in: and you're a moron.

thats tight that youre pissed. but really there is no need to swear at me and call me names.

oh gee a year. one year is a very short time. what have you done for only a year that you deserve to be paid for? the dudes talk about how to get paid constantly and you can tell that that is the ultimate goal for them with the show. the Nine Club is great but i think they are jumping the gun with the pay per view. im not sure why credit cards need to be involved to see some nerd shit on the YouTube. Thats an opinion, suck on it.

you must have signed up for ETN right away then?

so what expenses are there with making a youtube podcast?

im sure ill see the show with out spending the dollar per episode.

As I said in the other thread, I will give them a dollar. I might not even always watch it, but it's a dollar and this is how you can control your own media in 2017. If they went ETN or another route the show would suffer and they would probably lose a lot of the steam they built over the past year themselves. Patreon and things like this are how these shows can continue to be produced without handing creative control over to someone with an advertising agenda.

One question, is it video content? I don't watch the show, I listen to it. Way more passive and you can do stuff while listening. I don't have time to watch things. Other than that I think I'd give it a go. I think the show has done really well and I'm a fan.

to make a good youtube podcast like this it take time/energy/money ,they use 6 expensive cameras and all the rest (lightings,mics and so on)

The nine club is by far the best skate podcast. The other ones are really cool too, but Crob n crew are lightyears ahead in terms of quality of guests as production. For anyone wondering why it costs money to do it, i guess for all the people involved in the show,they are all professionals whose time is their most important resource. They dont act like it. They do this shit week after week, it's always there, they didn't take a couple of weeks off ever. Kelly just had a surgery, and he didn't miss even one week. I'm sure that it takes several days for each episode. Cutting 6 camera angles probably takes a day on its own, plus the actual interview (obviously fun for them, but still work making sure everyone is there etc) it's a major investment of time and resources.

serious question - do you think it's necessary to hand over creative control just because you have outside advertisers?  what about television?  TV shows seem to have their own agenda/content, and the advertisers are only paying for that 30 second ad slot to promote their brand, but have ZERO influence on the TV show content itself.  Do you think it could work like that for a podcast?  I'm asking because as much as people like the Nine Club, would they lose a lot of that listening audience if they started charging for it?  I know it's only a dollar, but I think people will be like "I'm not sure I want to pay to hear this, when they're still doing a FREE podcast?"  Also, have they said what is going to be different with this new show that justifies charging a fee?

Exactly. That's how all successful podcasts work (Joe Rogan, The Fighter & The Kid, Bill Simmons, etc). There's no need to paywall anything unless it's a new show that has premium offerings. No need for prerolls or midrolls--keep it limited to branded reads and logos in the gfx. Done.

I'm definitely open to the idea of additional Nine Club content with a small subscription fee as long as I don't have to subscribe to ETN to get it. I back this because they came correct with it. They've demonstrated value for over a year with weekly professional level interviews that are simultaneously available in multiple formats. By contrast ETN just came in like hey we're here now pay us for the right to watch the content that we openly admit we haven't even figured out yet. Plus Erik Bragg strikes me as the most fucking insufferable dude ever.
Title: Re: The Nine Club Experience?
Post by: Casey Jones on August 30, 2017, 01:26:01 PM
this whole ETN thing...

I don't have a subscription, but I don't think it's really ridiculous for these people to charge for content. I mean, we used to buy skate videos. Some of us had massive collections of skate videos. Those were like 20 bucks a pop I think. Can't really remember. It's really like buying 4 skate videos a year. Not that bad.

And since this is how skate content is consumed now, it doesn't seem too far fetched. Sorry i brought this debate in here. I would like to see these guys get paid. I know they make nothing from these and they put a shit ton of work in. That would really suck, if you think about it.

It's not necessary but it's what happens in skateboarding. People don't sponsor things to not have their products, riders, and what their brand "is about" at the forefront. Look at the berrics/DC deal for all those years. They shoved Mikey Taylor and Chris Cole so far up our asses everybody is sick of them. Whoever sponsored the nine club you'd see their boards all over Roger's wall, their shoes all over the book shelf, and their dumber than shit rider at the table because they're paying for that.

TV and film have a lot more power to be a fair comparison. I'd maybe compare it to TV 50 years ago. They didn't have commercials, they had the product be the center of the show. A whole episode about having to get a new Kenmore refrigerator. Things like that. That's the sort of reach I think a sponsor would have in something like the nine club.

it sounds too convoluted and stupid. I don't think I'd want to listen or watch. I'm not a fan of "fan involvement"

I think they should go traditional podcast route. Live show with a Q&A. I'd drop 20-35 easy for that easy. I've paid more for more popular live podcast taping. Test it out around the California area, then take it on road. Use the map from the "best skater by state" thread to pick your guest

until then, i'll buy a hat or something

according to the description on their last episode, it will still feature guests, mainly people who aren't local to SoCal and couldn't otherwise make the show. I guess they will be facetiming them in, and allowing fans to submit questions, etc. they specifically mentioned Tom Penny as a potential guest for this platform, and an in-depth interview with Tom would be worth far more than $1. I'm all for it, especially if they give descriptions of what the episodes contain, so you can decide if it's something you want to buy that particular week or not

thanks for your repsonse, your comparison is totally legit.  I actually don't know much about the podcast/subscription thing, but was literally introduced to it in between my post and your response.  There's a sick soul/funk podcast/playlist thing that I check out (funky16corners.com) - it used to all be archived from one dude, but I just chekjed it for the first time in a couple of years and it's grown to the point where he has guest DJs submit a set that gets posted.  But they have a Patreon thing going for donations/subscribing, and when I saw it, I thought of this whole thread.  But for me, I didn't even think twice about subscribing to it from the music aspect, I was totally down.  I realized that money goes towards doing cool shit and helping to provide content.  So, I'm more inclined to throw a few bucks for good, new content, be it skateboarding or music.   I guess so much skateboard content is given away for free, I'm like the little kids that just expect it, even though I'm in my 40s.

so what expenses are there with making a youtube podcast?

Outside of skateboarding, people tend to get paid for their labor either on an annual salary, or by the hour  ::)

And as to expenses, have you noticed how high the production value is? Cameras, mics, headphones, lighting, Roger's apartment... Not to mention, the time it takes to edit. You don't notice, probably because they do such a good job, but the video is chopped and screwed to make a cohesive narrative that doesn't drag on.

I'll give them a dollar per week.

If the guests are as poorly researched as it is now, I'll be happier keeping the dollar. For whatever reasons, the journalistic standards for skateboarding are still shockingly low, and I honestly don't trust these dudes to have a great guest on AND not totally fucking blow it, a la the Mike Carroll episode. I used to work in a newsroom, and if I went into an interview as poorly prepared as these dudes are seemingly every week, I'd have lost that job pretty quickly.

Even if it doesn't cost them money to produce each new episode, think about the opportunity costs. Each of these guys could be doing something a lot more profitable with their time. If they go the ETN route with the experience (please don't) I'll just donate the money and continue to just watch the monday episodes.

Some of you guys are beyond belief with your presumptuous negativity, and some of you have an inherent failure to think about the big picture, or even peek outside of the box you're so comfortable in.

Put yourself in Crobb & Co's shoes:
They are sitting on prime content produced on a winning formula, and are against making core changes to that product in an effort to monetize it. Good call.
Imagine if Google started charging people to use their Search function, or made people watch a 5 second ad before being shown their search results. It'd be corporate suicide.

- Requesting donations at any stage during the show changes the dynamic, and they they risk losing viewer/listener immersion.
People don't like change in general, let alone changing the format of something they enjoy as is. The already ruthless YouTube comments will consist of shit like "DAE remember when The Nine Club was cool".
Even if some of us are already accustomed to being probed to contribute financially to the Podcasts we listen to, the majority of the audience aren't.

- Corporate sponsorship not only puts them at risk of accusations of 'selling out', but also of being strong armed into doing things they mightn't want to do. Simple enough.

-----

So without changing the core product, we have to create value via peripheral products or services:

1. Open a store and sell Merch? Simple win. Not a cash cow, but gives them a supplementary marketplace which can just grow passively on the side as they focus on what they're good at.
May or may not turn into something where you can get exclusive third party branded products, like The Berrics Canteen. Neat.

2. Utilise their skillset to create more of what they're good at, which is high quality video content.
Even better, research trends in video consumption, recognise the cultural shift that is happening towards consumption of Live video content on the Internet, establish why that is, how to leverage that, and create something for this market.

Enter 'The Nine Club Experience'.

Know why Live sports has always been the holy grail of TV?
Because it's NOW; No-one gives a fuck about replays of sports games.

Know why live Social content with a high production value is the logical next step for any video content producer?
Because it's ENGAGING.

Know what's better than tuning into two hours of Fred Gall on The Nine Club?
Being able to talk shit with him from your couch at the same fucking time.


Is being able to watch good quality content while having the opportunity to actually converse with the producer/guests in realtime worth a dollar?
Guess we'll find out after the first few episodes drop...
Title: Re: The Nine Club Experience?
Post by: Fecal Fury on August 30, 2017, 06:45:16 PM
Also I realise that Roger was quick to mention the fact these won't necessarily be broadcast Live as yet, but it's clearly the direction they're heading...

On that note Rog, what's the major difficulty with reducing your 6 camera's down to 4, feeding them into a vision mixer, pre-programming your basic graphic overlays into that mixer, having Eric produce/switch angles on the fly, and sending that to a laptop with OBS or Wirecast to be sent out LIVE to YouTube?

Integrating YouTube comments on screen, and guests via Skype/Facetime isn't much more work either.

if the new show sucks then don't pay for it. if anything it will just help the podcast. maybe the money this side show brings in for the nine club dudes will also help benefit its viewers. if you think about it.. it's only going to help them loosen up and get better at what they do. it might actually make the podcast more interesting if anything. maybe the guests that everyone here on slap are always requesting might start showing up once the show has a bigger budget and more credibility... who knows?

it sounds too convoluted and stupid. I don't think I'd want to listen or watch. I'm not a fan of "fan involvement"

I think they should go traditional podcast route. Live show with a Q&A. I'd drop 20-35 easy for that easy. I've paid more for more popular live podcast taping. Test it out around the California area, then take it on road. Use the map from the "best skater by state" thread to pick your guest

until then, i'll buy a hat or something


Battle talk....flare premier.....I didn't like either.....the getting ads is tough seemed kinda weak when so many other podcasts work that way....

DOLLAR A MONTH?!?!?! WHHOOOOAAAA NOOWWW. They just sunk my whole life savings! 

This show is beyond legit. They're good at it. It's not all corporate and regular, yet it's high quality with high-quality guests. They're not backed by a corporate ad fueled megabrand. They even shouted out this place. What more do you want? They deserve to be paid more than whatever pittance they get from youtube play revenue. If you want a quality product or service, and you respect the integrity of the people making it, throw down some cheddar for the working man.

I'll be experiencing whatever they have to offer, personally.

I wonder what percentage of the current spectators would be willing to spend money to watch this show. Not every viewer is a Slap die hard skateboarding freak (I mean most of us) and a lot of people just watch some episodes depending on the skater invited.
I watch around 70-80% of the episodes but most of my friends who skate only watch the show every now and then if they are a fan of the guest or if they have time to kill.
Those occasional viewers will never spend a dollar on that. Also I assume kids between 12 and 18 will probably not buy it either because a lot of the guests don't mean anything for them (I mean it without disrespect but what 14 year old skater is interested about Daniel Castillo or James Craig?).

Those are assumptions but I can see the demographic being people between 25 and 45 with a job, not skating as much as they want and interested about legends like Puleo, Gino, Freddy but that would rather not pay to see Paul Hart, Daniel Espinoza or Sewa itw.

They deserve that dollar and even more, most people maybe are not aware of how much work takes to put the files of 3 different cameras together, edit and all this stuff, also we're not talking about how much money they use in equipment.

They put one year of content for free without any sponsor, They have enough credit to ask for money, I put money in a couple of patrons to maintain a couple of websites because is some cases is almost impossible to monetize some contents.

I'm really intrigued with how a live interview with Tom Penny would go, seeing as he sounds like Andre the Giant at half speed, and doesn't seem to say much other than banal platitudes when a camera has been put in front of him in the past. Hopefully he'll really open up and they won't shy away probing into his wilderness years and his travails with substances?

disclaimer: in this thread there are many good points from different views. Im a waffling cheapskate pessimist who finds a way to hate on things i like and these are my current opinions.

If TNC wants to be a talk show and not just a podcast they'll need a band in the corner. From the start the nine club chose to have all those cameras and and editing and knew they were doing it for free for awhile until they get sponsors or ads or whatever. Rog is a filmer so he should've had most of that equipment already. Time isnt free of course but after the initial investment on equipment the only real expense i see is Rogers Stellas lol. i get that they want to make a high quality show but as another poster pointed out, the main content in The Nine Club is the audio. i dont sit down and watch these episodes, i listen to them. I play it while i commute or while i do chores around the house or something. i dont sit there and watch and care about the video transition to kelly when he pushes the button. sometimes its cool to see the gifts the guest give the hosts tho. but the video production isnt fully needed because currently what is being said is what matters most. theres no inserted clips that require me to watch. lots of good pod casts have one camera that shows everyone at a table and the guests are all mic'ed up. the use of multiple cameras and subsequent need for editing and syncing was a choice they made. and why cant they skype with people on the monday show? and why is that a new idea. its not. tons of podcast interviews occur between two people sitting in different places chatting to their monitors with headsets and recording it.

of course a dollar isnt breaking the bank thats not the point. its the fact that in order to spend that dollar i need a credit card. if i just needed to hand over a paper buck i would. im trying to be off the gird folks and i have lots of digital content to prove it. is the whole dollar going to TNC or is half going to whatever site hosts the show.

lots of people wanna make money by YouTubing. i think these guys do too and will eventually. They have a great product and its getting lots of positive reviews. They just need to put in more time to get the subscribers. getting 27k subscribers in a year is pretty good. next year they get another 27k plus 15% more and be around 65k. the year after they will be around 100k subscribers and start to get more money from YT. im sure those guys see the amount of subscribers braille kooks and andy schrock and these other vloggers get and want be there. But that shit took more than a year to develop. its slower getting subscribers for TNC because they only post once a week. Daily video posters is who YT pays the most. TNC should find a way to post stuff mid week. Crob or Rog doing stuff to prep for the show, teasers for the next episode, video parts from guests on the show, crob rog and kelly skating (kelly is recovering still). Daily videos is what gets the YouTube money and subscribers. also during the videos they dont remind people to subscribe like they should, even though is annoying as fuck it does get people to click the button. How long did Metro do Skateline before thrasher bought it? was more than a year.

So ive been rapping on SoundCloud for the last year. i bought some expensive laptops and switches. I know everyone in the industry. I have cameos on my tracks from really respected industry members. I have 25k subscribers. I never went to music school or anything and i just started last year, but i have some really dope new content coming out. im putting out a track a week. yo i gotta get paid. time is money. Im at the level now where i cant do this for free anymore. each one of my hot new tracks is a dollar.

suppose the Tim O'connor show lasted a year. would it be time to pay to hear that shit if he was gonna start doing a video version. would you pay a dollar each week to hear an unedited no punches pulled version of skateline? would you pay a dollar to watch tampa pro? this whole pay a dollar thing is gonna snowball to a bunch of other shit costing a dollar to view also. "they charged a dollar why cant we" mentality is coming. YouTube is free to view. its free. its where TNC chose to give us the show. on the free platform. so they have baited us into liking the show on the free platform so they can take it away to a monitized platform. its cool since they did it organically.

Does the Nine Club ever ask for donations? I know they accept them, but I think it would be worthwhile to remind people. I listen to other podcasts that remind listeners every episode or every other episode that they can make a donation, and I don't find that annoying. Honestly, if I'm not reminded to donate, I'm not donating.

The level of entitlement the internet has created baffles me, but it really shouldn't. I love the "buying a skate video" comparison, but most kids these days don't even know what one of those are -- or that they used to cost money.

The show is still free. If you want to pay for the extra shit, go for it. If not, quit whining.

These dude's deserve to see something for the time/money they've put into it. If that bothers you, you've clearly never created anything you're proud of. We're lucky any part of this is still free. I challenge you to consistently put out a comparable product without a source of income tied to it, or the desire for it after producing it.

Regarding research: Get a better argument. Brink researched the shit out of guests before Weekend Buzz interviews, and people still found reasons to shit on the show.

For real, though -- $1. If you can't afford $12/year for something you really think you need and enjoy, you have bigger problems than The Nine Club charging $1/month for extra content.

Ha , I can't believe that one dude is upset they have only done this for a year. Usually with most jobs you get paid the moment ...you start the job. Only in skateboarding do people think it's ok for everything to be free. If it's entertaining , pay for it so the people can keep doing it or don't and then it goes away. All the dudes on that pod probably make little to no money even with their sponsors.

That said - they definitely deserve to be paid and the whole time I've been listening I have been wondering why in the world they haven't put a few ads in there. Anyone who thinks all content should be free is naive.

The James Craig episode was interesting.  Dr Crob? Wait, that's just me.  I'm not sure if I'd pay to watch their interviews but if they start promoting their merch more I can see myself falling victim to a good old fashioned marketing campaign... & buying a mug from them or whatever.

The show is pretty good, especially when it's a guest I want to hear from then I'm fully psyched. I own a Young and Reckless t shirt so clearly I fell for it when Drama jumped out of that building to promote his brand.  
    Just slapping ads or a pay-per-view service on something isn't quite enough to make me pony up that $1.00  And yes, I know I spend more on a crappy street vendor coffee every day if I have to, but for some reason the idea of using the Internet to buy that coffee through Paypal or venmo or whatever just isn't my thing and I'm under 30.

I totally agree with you. Plus in my opinion they are already advertising products when they talk about pro models shoes or companies. I could see something like a 10/20 second ad at the beggining of the show with the guys presenting a product, whatever product then skip to the guest.

They have a reach of ~50k views so that's your baseline. In print 50k issues would cost you a bit, but I'm not sure if it translates to digital stuff.

Who will pay? All those kids in the youtube comment section and a couple of dudes on slap.

Yeah, seems like they average mid- to high 40k per episode. I wonder what percent they figure will pay for the experience.
10% would be $4,500 a week. $200k+ a year
1% gets them $450 a week. $20k+ a year.

I don't mind paying a dollar and will gladly do so if they make some good content, but in general I have a problem with people asking for money to go toward a vague outcome. The only thing they've really mentioned about it is that it will be like the free version except "maybe we can do facetime or have skits or something". It seems like they don't even know what they're gonna be doing with it. My attitude about it is similar to the ETN guy who told everyone to "chill the fuck out" when he was criticized for launching a subscription service with no real established plan. If you want me to give you my money and that's your attitude you can fuck right off. Chris' attitude seems similar justifying not researching his guests or being a bad interviewer with "we're skaters, maaaaaaan." And again, if actual work goes in and good content is made, I will gladly eat my words and pay. My problem isn't about the money.

and that's what rings my bell, is that without a proper guest who have sponsors to pay them- they have to charge the viewer.

just look at the tons of different guests they have had who peddle some sort of product. if they aren't getting paid from them then they sure as hell should start to get paid by them! add the little youtube money on top and I am sure that these dudes are getting paid an ok amount for their time.

Do they not film this shit in one of their apartments? I find it tough to believe they have an outside set for a two hour conversation every week.

Yeah they always say it's filmed in the co-hosts apartment. But the electricity bill is def higher when you're using lights, the neon sign and all those cameras/electronics like that. And, maybe they buy props for the set. Perfect example all the candy for the Mike Sinclair episode.

I assume that pretty much every guests who is on there who talks about a product or videopart is a paying guest, and of course Adidas and Lakai pay for their episodes.
They have a reach of ~50k views so that's your baseline. In print 50k issues would cost you a bit, but I'm not sure if it translates to digital stuff.

Who will pay? All those kids in the youtube comment section and a couple of dudes on slap.
[close]

Yeah, seems like they average mid- to high 40k per episode. I wonder what percent they figure will pay for the experience.
10% would be $4,500 a week. $200k+ a year
1% gets them $450 a week. $20k+ a year.

That's just youtube views though, right? Doesn't account for those who listen as a podcast or on soundcloud etc.
They very well could have double the audience.

... Yes, Crob has Adidas and Crailtap ties. I don't know if I fully buy into what you've said here though. They have mentioned several times about the set and electricity costing money, which would make me think they've filmed several episodes out of pocket.

So, two to three hours of electricity and $20 of candy? This seems increasingly tenuous the more it's discussed.

It's not live. They still have to edit it and all of that, it's just more of a wack pack thing than the legit Stern show. Call in, have a chat, it probably gets cut, you watch thursday to see if you made it but didn't, then you do it again.

I'd totally pay even 2 dollars for that.

Hosts/Guests would be like:

"Take it easy man, take the 4 dollars!"

Seriously speaking though, if that's not live, wouldn't it be like the weekend buzz where people could ask questions through FB?
Ok if you're a member there's higher chances of getting them answered since you pick from a smaller audience, but still if the total number of questions is so high the no-reply factor could still be relevant. Just curious.

Just bought/watched the first one. I thought it was really fuckin good. So much potential going forward, Eldridge has a section where he was interviewing people at the Skate Copa event thing in LA, like an "outside" segment rather than being at the table, which I think could be a cool recurring thing moving forward.. Maybe with different skaters doing different shit.

The MJ facetime segment was amazing. Better than I expected. The call-ins were sick too, nothing too awkward which I thought might have been the case, except a guy calling in to brag about being sponsored by Andy Schrock and asking the guys to watch him on Youtube...

What else? There was meant to be a "skate news" segment but they ran out of time, that could be interesting... Once the kinks are ironed out and more ideas come to fruition this could be really something special. Easily worth $0.99... Even a Big Gulp is $1.59 now...

The first one was pretty good, I don't feel like I wasted a dollar. It definitely had its moments and the concept of being able to come up with nerdy questions to ask Rog on the phone is cool. It was pretty hilarious how bad Eldridge was at the field reporting too, makes what Chris / Rog do seem more impressive.

to be honest I'm all for throwing a dollar at someone a week if they are producing new content.

I'm not sure why so many people have an issue with people charging for content - especially when they are maintaining their free content as well.

I've watch about 70% of the nineclub eps on youtube and have subscribed on vimeo,  so even if I'm paying and don't watch the show 100% each week I'm still happy that I've got my money's worth over the course of time.  I'll see how it pans out over the next few months and then maybe unsub if I can remember - but $4 a month isn't really going to be noticed by anyone who has a decent enough paying job in my opinion

As far as the "experience" it was a little weak but had a lot of potential. I feel I got my dollars worth and with all the free content they have put out and will continue to put out I'm happy to support. For people complaining about them softballing questions with guests, not every skate media outlet has to be Has to be as in depth as CBI and this format still delivers good stories.
Title: Re: The Nine Club Experience?
Post by: sexualhelon on September 10, 2017, 06:20:27 AM
Love the podcast but personally wouldn't pay even a dollar for the "experience". There's so much free quality content on the internet it just steers me to something else saying "see you guys Monday". To get people to pay for content straight out of the gate, you have to open Netflix status, and even then it wasn't instant for them.

You have to really want said content the second it comes out to justify paying for it - either that or you just really want to support a project. Otherwise someone will put it up somewhere on the internet a couple of days later.

Things have changed dramatically with the evolution of tech. I mean, even musicians know they're not going to get rich from spotify or downloads - they have to sell merch and tour. Then there's sponsorship's, ads, and various other things. So basically, in my opinion, you have to put in a shit ton of time to make money off of a sole podcast. Otherwise you have to be developing it as a business which comes with putting all of these other things in place. If they don't want to sacrifice their voice, they should be looking at how they can develop some solid merchandise to sell along with it. Advertise their own product.

Each episode "being worth a dollar" isn't even really the point for me, honestly I paid for last weeks episode and haven't even watched it... it's more about making a donation to the overall nine club production. Them charging for the experience is just a way for them to keep making the normal show for free, which I think is a much better way to do it instead of just setting up a donation thing

wasn't MJ sober? the description read "a drunk and stoned MJ"  ??? ???
"Drunk and stoned" is just when they slow down the footage from previous eps to make them sound drunk ala those old Jeff Goldblum mac ads

U checked out the Fancy Lad podcast yet? I recorded an episode for it the other week, but I thought it was shite and don't want them to upload it haha... maybe I'll try again someday

Sponsor Me Please is fine in edited 30 sec clips but made a big mistake by either not fully committing to the shtick or playing it straight on this. At least Rog acknowledged they had jumped the shark.

Other than that I still enjoy what they do.

Anyone know the name of the artist who did the blue California Deck map that used to sit behind Chris? Thanks.

Proper gremlin-like to bring back a 6 year old Nine Club thread to ask about a misc Crob map

Well, good luck then...Personnaly I always considered the whole thing was a fail.
It could have been great, interesting and funny but instead we had lame ass questions mixed with unbearable hysterical laughs punctuated once in a while with some clever interventions by Roger Bailey we could barely comprehend because of his elocution.
