It's very telling how dismissive Chris gets whenever a side conversation about skateboarding starts to occur. I'm glad they called 35th and discussed the situation. Quite an unfortunate situation, but it's good that they're able to handle it as well as they can.
Please elaborate
He seems to hate talking about mundane stuff like hating on colored grip & discussing different wheel colors/small differences in sizes of skate equipment. Roger and Kelly nerd out on that stuff and Crob gets all like "ughhh who cares you fuckin' geeks" haha. I'm with Chris on that one.
It's absolutely mundane, but I feel like the nerdiness is a big draw of this show, no? I don't actually care that much about colored griptape discussion, but I think it's cool that Roger is at least trying to solicit conversations about skateboarding in general rather than just read a list of sponsor changes and say it's "sick". I dunno, there's been a few instances before where they'll try and have a conversation about skating that isn't just industry news and Chris will immediately try and shut the discussion down.
I don't wanna complain too much though, it's just an observation. Credit where credit is due, I enjoyed them talking about general skateshop happenings after the 35th story was told. It's not a focal point of the conversation, but I like the mundane.
