Just like my only child that would rather ride her scooter than her skateboard, the 9 Club has once again disappointed me.
This fuckin *** is a total lame and whats worse is that hes completely unaware of how wack his whole shtick is.
I keep hitting "block channel" and "not interested" everytime i see his shit-eating grin. But somehow, this cum weasel keeps slithering his way through the blown-out anus that is youtube and back to my list of suggested videos. This flexing of rectal muscles by the algorithm fills me with sorrow, and to see 9 Club stooping down to give this clown a bigger soapbox to yell from amplifies my sorrow, distress and the hopelessness I feel that my daughter will want to participate in a pastime this weirdo is associated with.

TNC cast trying to harness Danny's money making aura

Darkly humorous when Duncan acknowledged their podcast is best in skateboarding, but that their effort is financially fucked because they're in the skateboarding industry

This is just another crob effort to break the YouTube code . When really all he had to do was skate the last 6 years . If they just had each guest for a session at the beach curbs as a companion video for each interview he’d be way ahead .

Danny Duncan is a testament to the fact kids love watching people just fuck around. Mic up York at the curbs and you’d have a million views just hearing the nonsense coming out of dudes mouth as he skates .

You got trolled. It’s a joke on the show.

Ahh okay. It’s a short enough video I will probably watch it, but my investment in their show is limited to the guest.

Nevermind, it’s over two hours. I did not see that initially.

"but my investment in their show is limited to the guest." sums up an "ol buddy/die hard fan" from a "casual viewer/hater" pretty nicely.  Not in a bad way, just a good distinction. 

Die hard fans think casual viewers are lame and vice/versa instead of just letting everyone like things to whatever level they happen to like them (but there is no drama in that so, continue.  I have enough popcorn).

It's me but hardly an angel investor since i have no stake or say in the company. I just donate what I can, like some kinda glorified Public Access Television supporter...

The misspell gave me a chuckle, even though I am not in on the joke.

I just watched the Andy Jenkins episode while making banana bread and quite enjoyed it.

I still like to hear and learn about skateboarding and its history, but I am also old enough to have boundaries around what I consume, and be okay with being a lame in someone else’s eyes. This season alone I am making more of an effort to not watch/pay attention to people whose skating I don’t enjoy. I’m not perfect, but I’ve decided I don’t need to have an opinion on whomever the It Boy of the current moment is just because they are the It Boy, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I come around for skaters/industry folk that I’m familiar with and who I think might have something interesting to share about their experience in the industry. Skateboarding is far too large and scattered for me to keep up with.

I’m grateful for the die hards that keep this thing going but it’s never gonna be me and I hope I’m not hating on anyone that is.

This is pretty much my take, I was pretty heavily invested the first 50, I’ll tune in when it’s someone I care about, prolly sift through the Jenkins episode and will prolly enjoy it, but yea I enjoy the show for what it is, Chris definitely doesn’t ask the hard hitting questions we would like, but it’s good pod to have in the background while making banana bread

[Kook Me Amadeus]

Stoked to check this Ryan Clements episode soon, definitely fascinated by what this chap does.  Scoping the time stamps, I see everything there but a ‘pulling up the hood on the Nine Club’ and what Ryan’s firm does for them, since they manage Nine Club, and I imagine Crob’s hosting career?  Woulda been interesting potentially… but perhaps nothing new since Crob talks about cracking YouTube all the time - though I was definitely expecting it.  Imagine it’s a bit of an anticlimactic episode 300 for some but I’m down.

Damn Ryan clements sounds like a fuckin square ngl. Give the AMs some damn prize money

Ryan Clements talked shit about PJ a while back and from that point on I can't stand the mf
I'm clearly biased tho

At the end.

PJ has done more for skateboarding in shop video part than this guy will in his entire life

[dallou]

Is he wrong tho ? Legacy aside, PJ is a legend but wouldnt you be bummed going to a demo and PJ does not skate ?

[mikevsleftlightningtat]

Rog please just stop

[decoi1]

Yea I agree with this. I love PJ but I’d be bummed. I went to an Alien/Habitat demo back in 02 in Atlanta just before Mosaic came out. A bunch of the dudes listed were either not there or didn’t get out of the van. And a handful of dudes that were there barely skated. Some not at all. It kinda sucked

[DirtyCheddarKids]

Oh man what a fucking let down for episode 300. Definitely not gonna watch that one.

[Fongstarr.]

I do remember hearing about this back in the days. I think demos were just a bigger deal back then (not sure where they stand now). One of my first demos ever was the Hot Chocolate Tour at Wallenburg. The whole Crailtap squad was there and yet, only like a few were skating which was a total bummer for me at the time. Not that I am older, I sort of get it cause most pros were just talking to people they haven't seen in a while. No one cared to entertain anyone there. To my knowledge, props to York and Eldy for at least skating when I was around.

[Southernmost]

It was kinda whack he singled out PJ in the interview. But I understand where he’s coming from. I don’t think he was hating more just disappointed. But what if PJ was having a bad day or healing from an injury. Still sucks for the fans that showed up expecting to see him skate. Even if it was just a kickflip over the pyramid like suggested. I went to a Deathwish demo and was under the assumption Greco and Ellington would be there, which neither of them were. All good but kind of misleading, maybe it was a misunderstanding. And Lenoce was there but not skating, would’ve been sick to see him just do a Nollie heel on flat or anything really.

Okay Merriam-Webster   

I might add that the status of “AM” within the realms of skateboarding doesn’t necessarily adhere to your little dictionary definition of the word

Here’s an article for you, and your boy Ryan clements has some quotes in it, so maybe you will want to read it then.

Yea ive tried to start the convo of 'am vs amateur' and 'pro vs professional' but it didnt really go anywhere. I still think its a valid topic of discussion.

Why would am be different than amateur? It's the same term with the same meaning, just abbreviated. Same applies for pro and professional.

Most of all, ams do deserve to get paid in some scenarios, but it just depends on who is running the contest. Do they choose to give out prize money or not is subjective and I think it's fair either way.

Often pros get actual $ prizes and ams get gear (and exposure, technically) for their winnings.

[SHAQUEEFA]

Hey guys, y'all know I work for Ryan. Let me clear something up.

When he talks about not paying people, he is referring to like all ages contests with a 12 and under division, and giving big money to flow kids.

We have run The Boardr Open for the last few years and although we advertise it as "open" meaning pros can enter, it usually ends up as a upper to mid level am contest and we have a small prize purse for that. I think first place was $500.

The idea is to not set the expectations that 8-12 year old kids are winning significant prize money at contests. That is not sustainable to a contest series.

That being said, the prize money is all up to the sponsors. Sometimes it's there, sometimes its not.

Lately, we have also been doing a lot of "tricks for cash" events where everyone can get involved and we give out maybe $500-$1000 in ten and twenty dollar bills. That kind of thing creates excitement and a great time for everyone.

I'm always down to talk about this stuff and help understand it in any way I can. Feel free to reply here or PM me if you have some more specific questions.

What is PJ doing nowadays anyway? At least Tom Penny is constantly uploading clips. PJ is being too harsh on himself. He should've just had a part for the true video and people would be happy.
