I find it fucking hilarious that grown ass man address this midget as T-Funk. Do you guys realize how regular that sounds hahahah

To be fair, it sounds just as ridiculous to say Tristan Funkhouser.

One step above Dr. Mantis Toboggan in terms of believability.

It’s that sweet spot between Dr. Tobias Funke and Dr. Mantis Toboggan.

Anybody else thought this part of him beingt TM for DC was notably absent in the recent pro interview on Thrasher? Maybe waxing candid on T Funk being a redneck pos pile didn't do his career much good...

Thrasher : On the flip side of that, is there anybody who is difficult to work with?

JG: I think the person who can be the most difficult is T-Funk. But not in a way that I don’t enjoy being around him. He challenges me in the best ways and teaches me to be more patient. He’s a really good dude and maybe just a bit misunderstood.

Just curious what he could mean by that. I remember recently a thread where Elissa Steamer had some sort of misunderstanding with him as well.  T-funks tricks in the DC team montage were gnar. Whats up with dude?

From my experience hanging with the DC team in Berlin summer ‘19, T-Funk is a big baby whiner bad attitude shit talker wannabe rockstar thinks he can do whatever he wants cause he’s T-Funk? Crying for beer, crying for weed, crying fighting security. And making fun of local dudes(kids) skating the cash for tricks they were throwing. All around sucks.

Every other person on DC though was humble and friendly. Most notable Tiago, Wes, John, and Leo Valls.
