Shamefully Low Appreciation for Podcasters

almost 20 years in, and Slap is still skateboarding's biggest scapegoat.

You're tripping if you think Glassy is a multi million dollar company.

They do about 20 million dollars a year. Another SLAP expert running his mouth.

$20M sounds really damn high...  I bet they have a good cash flow from their prescription line, I feel like that's gotta be where the money is at.  I can use my HSA account for that shit, half of which is from my employer.  Gives a lot of people reason to buy shit they wouldn't normally purchase.

The amount of trolling here is low compared to 2010-2011 when people realized how easily Koston could be triggered on social media. I think there are occasional instances of taking things too far, but for the most part its just normal shit talk. I hate when people act like Slap is 4chan or something.

To me the real question is whether we as consumers have the right to criticize skateboarders for non skateboarding things. My opinion is if Chris Roberts can make money from a skateboard deck with his cat on it, I can talk shit about his post-2004 productivity. On the flipside I met him in person back in 2009 and I thought he was pretty chill, so I would be a dick to only bring up the negative.

[johnes]

They don’t understand that trolling is art.
That thread about steezus was an artistic expression and yeah 90% of the time, humans make bad art.

[Mongoloid]

If you’re actively pissing of members of any given industry you’re doing ok in my book.

I think maybe the panties get bunched over the fact that SLAP is kind of a the collective arbiters of cool regarding skating, while not being the target demographic consumer.

[feedmeseymour]

5 circles? haha Gaseous you know better than that!

[Nosferatu]

The experience is so bad. A podcast about a shitty podcast. Still listen...

Edit: sanchenzo makes slap somehow look worse.

[l_bwoy]

the regular nine club shows aren’t too bad if the guest is a good story teller, but crob has to be one of the worst interviewers i’ve ever heard. they do have cool guests from time to time and i find myself revisting old episodes if i’m caught up on all the other podcasts i listen to. steezus really does bug me on the experience though. like during monkey mcpott’s call, being too cool to discuss SLAP so he decided to divert his attention to his fucking cell phone, and then complaining & calling him a “lingerer” after they hung up??? very professional, very cool. i’ve got a major affinity for the bunt, so to hear him bash those boys fucking irks me too; especially after talking about and saying all the suspect she that he does, i.e. kegels, grey sweats and how girls appreciate them, “i could do a kickflip right now but i don’t want to fuck up my shoes”, all his wack ass sex-centric jokes he tries to edge in, “smash that like and subscribe” nonsense that has regrettably rubbed off on the rest of the hosts now too. dudes just a major cornball. i also agree that eldridge is the male equivalent of the general dumb blonde stereotype, but i do find myself laughing at his comments more often than not. 

shalom

Crob is in a tough spot. We as skateboarders are trained to look for imperfections, and are part of a sport that generally calls out bullshit. So when someone acts like they're Howard Stern, but they don't have the goods to back that up, there's going to be shit talk. And because Crob isn't willing to start doing research, ask follow up questions, etc. so he could be on Stern's level, he's going to continue to get shit. So he can say it's all trolls or hate, but deep down part of him knows that it's true, which is why I would wager he reacted so negatively upon even hearing about slap. Who wants to be constantly reminded of that thing that you know you should do, but don't want to?

I agree with everything you said except that C-Rob is in a tough spot. He's facing the same predicament everyone faces at one point or another in their careers: do I keep clocking in to do the bare minimum every day without taking advantage of the tools and opportunities at my disposal, or do I use my experience to hone and perfect what I'm doing and use criticism as a chance to excel? He's obviously chosen the former, and like pretty much everyone else who's chosen to milk it in their respective industries (especially skating), he's getting some well-deserved grief for it.

It also doesn't help that these dudes look at this as a technical endeavor, rather than a journalistic endeavor. I hear all the time about "production value" and how many cameras they use and all the time it takes to edit, but how many people here actually watch the show? Whenever I dive in, I know it's gonna be on my phone, and they could use all that editing time to, I don't know, maybe watch a few of their next guest's video parts, read an interview or something? It would take like, an hour of their time, and make the show much better.

So, in short: C-Rob, time to choose if you want to sink or swim. Bagley, you clearly know a lot, but working for Adio in the mid-2000s and taking some sequences of Joey Brezinski doesn't make you a gatekeeper for the culture. I actually don't have any beef with Kelly, and I haven't watched any of the experience episodes, so (thankfully) I don't have opinions on anyone else yet.

[Merlin]

Some episodes are great, so I watch till the end. Some episodes suck, so I turn them off. Easy concept.

[rusty knees]

kinda funny to see how bummed they are on SLAP. you can tell theyve lurked and read a bunch. even if they say they dont come on here. gonna say though, monkey mcpot does some cool content but he kinda blew it there.

[Suave]

if Crob wants to be stern and not do research, all he has to do is ask inappropriate or uncomfortable questions.
'so leticia, have you ever had sex w/ a black man? was it big? i've got a tiny dick but a big sw flip manny'.
'so andy roy, i saw your golden shower deck. have you taken a brown shower? dirtbag p is hot, i'd have her pissing all over me. does she like her ass eaten? do you 2 have 3somes together? what's julien doing, jerking off in the corner w/ the camera?'

i haven't listened to stern since i was a kid but that's how i remember it. i love rog but he ain't no artie lang.

[friendly dave]

They obviously have lurked Slap. Yes we talk shit sometimes, and some people are anonymous, but it's not like there isn't a 128 page "post a picture of yourself" thread.

*fuck it, i'm bringing that thread back.

Ain't a fucking chance Glassy is selling $20mil of products a year. The average price is about $60 USD. That's 3.3 million pairs of glassy sunglasses a year. That would also mean someone is buying a pair of $60 glassy's every 10 seconds. Your out of your mind

You're right. It's less than a million a year. They do have a multi million dollar value. The prescription glasses are $90 minimum.

I've been trolled extremely hard today and now i'm going to bed early
