Crob streamed twice this week during the day and Now im not sure if this Monday it will be Colin Kennedy or Chad Caruso. Both are guests coming up soon. Im kinda excited to see Chad on. Dude is a trooper.

Rkulla, was it Kelly who was saying on the last Live he was texting with you? 

Are you guys often in contact?  Do you have creative input on the show at all?

I've never met them in person, we just follow each other on IG and have DM'd sometimes but I've never had any creative control, or asked them to do anything. At most, in the chat I'll say things that they repeat or becomes a meme. That's it...

[shouldn't]

wearing shades indoors for over 2 hours while doing a filmed podcast is pretty wild. there has to be a self contained questioning of “should i just keep rocking these when i walk in?” as you pull up, then a “yeah do it why not?”… shortly followed afterwards by a “should i just rock them the whole interview?” & again a “yeah why not?”. examples of why it’s okay to sometimes ask your friends if you look stupid or not before fully committing to a wild gear choice while being filmed.

I literally didn’t notice the sunglasses at all

Or he just wore the shades and kept wearing them and didn’t think about it much

Not really that wild when you have multiple bright ass lights focused on your face the entire time.

while I get the joke or "how is this even possible?", between doing the show, covid, carl being a young "cool guy" and traveling, plus the fact it seems that Chris is very introverted, it's not that surprising to me.

i just assumed he smoked weed beforehand or something, there were some moments here and there in which he definitely sounded like me and my friends when we're high and asked a question

me too but i didn’t really notice the glasses until i read the comments

[shouldn't]

so you’re telling me that if this was someone like say andy anderson, elijah berle, david loy… nobody would notice the sunglasses or make a comment? i am a fan of his skating, seems like a good guy, just think it’s kinda cringe to wear sunglasses inside for hours on camera. maybe that’s just me.

[RoughStylin]

Dude said he was out until 4am and hungover. That compounded with direct studio lighting, I think sunglasses are fine. 

It was funny hearing him geek out on big pro’s towards the end of the interview. Cold calling P-Rod on the sesh for motivation is hilarious to me, especially with Carl’s cool-guy persona.

Also hilarious that Carroll screens his calls.

[snackman233]

Carl would not turn off the cool guy act until the last 20 mins he started being more of a human

[standfast]

I imagine he's nervous or maybe he's that hungover? Also, Isn't he 24? We were all making dumb decisions around then (some of us probably still are).

Crail was such a tight crew for so long. I know that ended well over a decade ago, but Aikens went from Flow to Am to Video to Pro for a year + and didn’t meet Roberts the whole time? That’s pretty wild.

[schralp pal]

Aikens was a cool person to learn about and a cool perspective on todays industry  - I like that he seems to keep his fashion stuff and skateboarding kinda separate. And admirable he wants to release parts and has footage stacked

Am-fm is a good name for a company

[GAY]

I'm always impressed by people who wear sunglasses indoors and don't give a damn what people think. I wish I had that kind of swagger.

[urbneathme]

lots of skaters have sunglass sponsorships

[rkulla]

We don't like it when the general public gets mad at us for skating, dressing, or acting how we want. Yet skaters hate on other skaters for how they dress, how they skate, how they talk, etc. It's not really any different than the general public trying to get you to conform.

If it's not "take off the sunglasses indoors", it's "take off the hat indoors". As if we're all supposed to subscribe to some conservative manners. Is this your dinner table and you've been offended? Expressing these complaints will only cause most skaters to rebel more against your rules.

[manysnakes]

For how many pages can we talk about wearing sunglasses indoors? Personally, I’m a prescription glasses wearer so when I’m in my sunglasses l, they frequently stay on wherever since I need them in order not to walk into walls.

Lol shutup this is slap

[Kook Me Amadeus]

I’m convinced you’d be getting a better response if your handle was Gnarkulla.

[doublesteveburger]

yeah dude this is slap can i please have $200

[Coastal Fever]

The most important takeaway from that episode is that Crail didn’t necessarily drop the ball on Hosea, he just got broke off filming, therefore Crail probably decided to hold off on putting him fully on.  Huge bummer, hope he comes back stronger.

[j....soy.....]

I’ve come to realize that if you slam or trip wearing sunglasses you look 50% dumber….it’s funny but it’s not unreasonable to question if it’s worth it.
