Wtf is up with the nine club

I love how the Nine Club has been on for half a decade and

a) People still complain that the show is scared to ask the real questions;

b) People still complain that La Crob doesn't do any research beforehand and

c) La Crob still doesn't do any research beforehand.

its literally the same show its always been.  if anything you could bitch the opposite.  its never changed...


Just goes to show how shit it is and it’s gotten worse over the years

Do you guys watch because you hate it? You must watch it to know if they are still doing the same stuff, right? I enjoy it. The bunt dudes just sound like some suburban nerds trying to sound hard.

You know what podcast is underrated?
Mission statement.

Love Lee, he’s a pretty solid host.

I really like that one actually, just wish they adhered to some sort of schedule. Still a nice surprise when they come out and I like the intro beat haha

[Lowcalcium]

I got 3 questions: whatever happened to these skate podcasts that I used to listen to religiously, I still listen to the Bunt whenever a new episode drops.

1. The Tim O' Connor show?

2.  Thrill of it All with Jamie Thomas?

3. Thrasher Radio?

yeah i mean IF they payed him, cool. Action Bronson was 95% of the network at one point and he wasnt getting paid. even if they did pay rick it was likely a fraction of what hes owed. Vice cannot continue without tons of interns doing work for free bc theyve been convinced it will "get them exposure." and idk if you ever watched it, but that show fucking sucked. tons of potential but vice managed to fuck it up, the one episode with the kids who think they are ghost hunters was like watching someone larping out a southpark scene making fun of ghosthunter shows. even mccrank was making jokes about them being weirdo spacecase foodcourt kooks, and that dudes the most PMA out.

dont remember where i read it, but basically mccranks take on the whole thing was that vice pitched it like a "traveling around the states to skate" but what it turned into was meeting up with kids who really miss specific foodcourts, and theye not joking.

Also: how is it possible to have literal days worth of footage of gerwer in a car making jokes telling stories with rick, and make it not good.  howd they even do that? show sucks vice sucks mccrank and gerwer rule

Amazing that Vice is having trouble paying people considering how high the CIA’s overall budget runs.

[close]

What’s this Vice/CIA stuff? Are vice reporters just CIA operatives or something? I’m interested.

[close]

vice has a history of falling in line on certain issues despite playing the rebel. the fact that the proudboys trace back to it is odd and then there's also the drug smuggling ring

Yeah, basically this. I don’t think they’re so well connected these days, but during the Obama administration, there definitely seemed to be direct pipeline from the CIA/naval intelligence and the state department to what Vice was reporting on. Same thing was true at the Daily Beast. Of course, it’s next to impossible to prove these things, because obviously they’re working in shadows, but I gotta say, a Vice founder starting the Proud Boys only for the Proud Boys to become a cutout of the FBI was also a little much.

You really think the whole organization is a cut out? It looks like Enrique Tarrio mighta been flipped and they are on some Hoover cointel pro shit now but even that doesn't seem particularly manageable and I'm not sure how much they can even use him since his background got blown across the media. I'm genuinely asking because the formation of it seemed organic but then again it rose to prominence relatively quickly too.

The Tim O'Connor one is great.

He needs some better recording equipment though. One or two are unlistenable unfortunately.

I don’t think the whole thing was, but historically, since Oklahoma City in 92, every right wing militia or quasi-military organization has been chock full of FBI informants, so I really doubt that it starts and stops with a top leader. White supremacists even have a bunch of pretty funny jokes about how everyone they know is a fed.

i feel the same but i skim them. i like hearing them talk about videos. i find the breaking down of spots and difficulty of tricks more interesting than people complaining about songs, editing and fits on here. the stop and chats are hit or miss for me. i actually made it all the way through joslin's one but for most guest i just like the parts where they play the their clips and then the pros talk give some background so i usually just fast forward till they have the embedded skate clip then start watching. pretty much just something i put on in the car when i'm driving to the skatepark or grocery store.

i get too much second hand embarrassment from the bunt, it's kind of funny but also feels like they've done it too long. i do enjoy skateline nbd though and it's kind of the similar with the slang but i doesn't feel super forced malibu's most wanted to me i guess because gary doesn't go full ghostface and just uses some slang.

[CorneliusCardew]

The clip reviews are filling a valuable place in my life. Can anyone recommend a place to find better longer video commentary and reviews?

Nine Club sucks.
Bunt also sucks.

Mostly Skateboarding, Vert Button, Mission Statement. Only good skateboard podcasts I've heard.

I'm curious why do you think the Bunt sucks?


I personally think the Bunt rules...and Cepha and Donovan ask some hard hitting questions, but they also do a lot of research for the show and when they talk about certain tricks in a guest's part...I get hyped and go back and watch the part immediately.

The show makes me get back into the art of skating. In terms of filming parts.

See the dude above saying the Bunt guys sound like try-hards. They do. Their whole technique and how they sound and the shit they say that isnt a direct question ruins the experience for me in the same way Chris NOT preparing for jackshit on the Nineclub ruins it for me. The bunt guys are a cringy bore. The Nine Club doesnt even try. Both are awful.

[coyote2425]

I used to do Nine Club a lot when I had a commute and the Bunt definitely grew on me. I used to love Tim's pod, too.

But one I thought was total cringe and really surprised me by how not good it was ended up being Chief's 'Thrill of It All.' He was a great guest on Nine Club w/infinite stories that he told well, but it did not translate at all to the other side of the mic. Seemed like he would ask a question in the form of him telling a story and then the guest would have a one-word answer. It reminded me of interviews Geoff Rowley did with Tom Penny where it would be a paragraph of a question and Penny being like, "Yeah, pretty much."

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Lots of people find them off putting at first and get into it after.  They are even aware of it themselves... My first time listening i thought they tried too hard to sound tough. But after à few episodes i really enjoyed the genuine aspect of it. They are the purest skate rats among all the hosts of the various podcasts mentionned.

k dude youre old and vanilla we get it

[cilantro]

I’ve put on Bunt episodes on skate trips, always gets the homies cracking up regardless if they know who the skater is (dustin henry episode specifically. Too good)
Nine club is now banned on skate trips because it makes me sleepy when I drive

I mean there is only so many people to interview.  They probably should have kept the show to twice a month to make the content last longer.

[close]

They could get better guests if they tried. I stopped paying attention. The experience really is boring, they just argue about the dumbest shit.

Yeah and then they get on their California high horses about the trendiest controversy the liberal media is pushing that week in order to fill up a half hour

[CorneliusCardew]

The nine club is the go-to thing to watch while I do my workout

[Jud Nestorkins]

I used to listen to it during the very early days but it got stale quickly. I watched one or two YouTube videos a while ago that showed up on my recommended home page of them talking about a part. Didn't find it very interesting but now it's like YouTube puts every single upload of their on my recommended and it's asinine.

For example I've never seen an Andy Anderson video ever (and go out of my way not to) and also haven't watched the nine club in ages but that damn video of AA teaching crob dork tricks is ALWAYS in my recommendations.

Gerwer and McCrank needs a podcast it would be so weird and good

[funeral_tuxedo]

I really liked Tim O'Connor's podcast. He's kind of disappeared from skateboarding a bit these past few years though and maybe he's over it.
