Wtf is up with the nine club

[Abyss1]

Never heard of this dude, but its sick he’s rocking the Akira hat.

You think they’ll have gifted on at some point

[Coastal Fever]

This dude definitely has the thing going on where he feels like a victim for not being revered by the core skate community, despite purposefully not conforming to it, and being way richer than most core industry filmers.  Kinda like NKA with better taste.  Doesn’t seem like an inherently bad guy or anything.

As for the Nine Club’s ulterior motives for bringing him on, hard to hold that against them when the Bunt is guilty of similar behaviour.  As long as they keep putting out good ones like Clyde’s recent episode, I can easily forgive the odd dud.

[TheDingus]

They can’t all be bangers and that’s ok

Nine Club needs to take a break from interviewing YouTubers. No disrespect to luis Mora and his story but it just feels like Crob and co are pushing the YouTube thing too hard. It feels like interviewing these guys gives the nine club some extra views or likes by piggybacking their guest or just some free consultation on how to improve their stats.

[close]

But bro there’s a whole universe out there. YOUTUBE.

Take a break from interviewing youtubers and go back to bringing on uninteresting old heads

[Natas_Fauxas]

Omar Hassan is coming in the next weeks. 3 or so.

[WashingtonNECKTIE]

Omar is rad. Finally excited for an upcoming guest again.

Wish Grosso was here still, a doubles interview w/ him and Omar would be awesome

They should coordinate bringing on multiple youtubers for an episode, like they did with Malto/Mike Mo

I like most of their industry head guest episodes, but skate YouTube is a relatively large untapped pool for the nine club

Chris just did a weird thing on his last live revealing the newest guest weeks out. He said we dont watch 100% of GH content. It was basically a sidestep and he directed the GH hate against kelly. I may be wrong, Thats how i took it. He said he loves constructive criticism. I somehow doubt it.

Wait is Joa going to be on 9 club...
CRob says he doesn't read any comments, so I don't think he's open to any criticism.

Look man. The problem is really simple. A bunch of never-grew-up man-children dont understand how to receive criticism or make amends for their shitty actions (Oblow debacle, how they handled it with their platform is notably worse than what some dude no one really thinks about said) and they have an audience of hundreds of thousands of people who did normal shit, maybe begrudgingly - went to school, got jobs, had responsibilities and just a fuckin sense of how to be a normal functioning adult in the world.

So enter someone like Joa, who is pretty much the most unconventional skateboard celebrity imaginable and bends the time-space continuum by being A) intelligent B) relatively well-adjusted C) a gaming nerd D) self-deprecating E) a ripping skater and F) a youtuber who also then can make fun of other youtubers because he's a ghost in the machine.

The NineClub would be doing themselves a MASSIVE solid/favor to have GH on and let him talk frankly and openly about all the shit that is wrong in skating (invariably, he will also talk about what's right with it) including being vulnerable to critiques of the actual show, and then rub a couple of brain cells together and respond to him in real time.

But they wont, because they have no idea how to actually process and respond to it when someone tells you you're doing something wrong. This is why toxic positivity and participation celebrations are a real thing. Fortunately (or unfortunately for these dudes and a lot of their guests) the real world will snap you back into reality very quickly.

Agree with everything you said except that he's well adjusted. Dude was never told no in his life.

TNC is probably down to have GH on the show. Could be GH who won't accept an invitation.

Well I did say relatively. haha.
I think people can be handed a lot of advantages of life and still know bullshit. The best measuring stick for that, imo, is people's ability to have some self-awareness, which I think he absolutely does have.

I guess that's the self-awareness kicking in.
really though, his background story isnt terribly interesting either, but the NineClub usually backs it up to that point at least.

I think maybe the problem with the NineClub doing a three hour show about how Steve Berra is trash is it A) could keep away precious future sponsors and B) Joa already did it on his own platform for all the world to see, many many times.

I could be imagining things but I thought the GH Bunt episode was confirmed/announced.

Agree GH on Nine Club would never happen but totally should.

Well, I guess I really ruined Chris's day with my comment.

Listen Chris, because I know you're lurking, I'm a fan of the nine club and I respect the hard work you put into the show to entertain us. Here's my issue: You guys have a major platform with the possibility to interview all kinds of people in the skate industry. A vast majority of your listeners are guys like me who have a few decades of skating under their wheels so it's natural that guests from bygone eras are going to pique our radars more than a younger fresher face we've never heard of. Especially in the case of youtubers who found their niche on a platform that's only really been exploited by the skate industry in the last few years. I see Pedro Delfino. I see Tom Asta. I see Gas Giants. These are skaters on youtube that interest me because besides their youtube channels providing great content, they're in the streets, the parks, the shops, the magazines, the videos... Not so much Luis Mota, NKA Vids, Ira Ingram, Chris Chann, Gary Veynerchuk et al. That said, I still listen to the episodes because maybe they have a great story to tell. Perhaps I jumped the shark with my extra views and stats comments but I can't help but feel somehow the analytics reflect it when such guests feature on the show.

I will say one thing though, it shows that you and the others are starting to do some homework on upcoming guests and the interviews are better for it. However, don't rely so much on your Ol' buddies for emotional support. There are plenty of us skaters out here and elsewhere who listen your show, like your show, respect your show but we'll also critique your show. If you enter the public sphere which are now very much a part of, you have to accept criticism. Granted some of it is baseless (nowadays faceless) but some of it is valuable. And, why not just say "so-and-so posted on Slap" rather than "someone commented" like you're trying to deny you follow this topic and forum closely? I can almost guarantee you that if you posted up here like Cliff, DGKalis, ISUCK etc did in the past, you'd probably get a ton more support and respect than you think.

Fuck, this post is too long. Apologies slappals, I just got a kick out of Chris reacting so fast to my earlier post that bumped the thread from page 3 to the front.

Nine Club needs to take a break from interviewing YouTubers. No disrespect to luis Mora and his story but it just feels like Crob and co are pushing the YouTube thing too hard. It feels like interviewing these guys gives the nine club some extra views or likes by piggybacking their guest or just some free consultation on how to improve their stats.

Well, I guess I really ruined Chris's day with my comment.

Listen Chris, because I know you're lurking, I'm a fan of the nine club and I respect the hard work you put into the show to entertain us. Here's my issue: You guys have a major platform with the possibility to interview all kinds of people in the skate industry. A vast majority of your listeners are guys like me who have a few decades of skating under their wheels so it's natural that guests from bygone eras are going to pique our radars more than a younger fresher face we've never heard of. Especially in the case of youtubers who found their niche on a platform that's only really been exploited by the skate industry in the last few years. I see Pedro Delfino. I see Tom Asta. I see Gas Giants.

How defensive crob gets is, objectively, fucking hilarious.
We've got emotional 14 year olds running everything.

But bro there’s a whole universe out there. YOUTUBE.

Take a break from interviewing youtubers and go back to bringing on uninteresting old heads

There's only one YouTuber anyone is interested to hear on the Nine Club and they seem pretty dismissive of him.

Chris just did a weird thing on his last live revealing the newest guest weeks out. He said we dont watch 100% of GH content. It was basically a sidestep and he directed the GH hate against kelly. I may be wrong, Thats how i took it. He said he loves constructive criticism. I somehow doubt it.

Look man. The problem is really simple. A bunch of never-grew-up man-children dont understand how to receive criticism or make amends for their shitty actions (Oblow debacle, how they handled it with their platform is notably worse than what some dude no one really thinks about said) and they have an audience of hundreds of thousands of people who did normal shit, maybe begrudgingly - went to school, got jobs, had responsibilities and just a fuckin sense of how to be a normal functioning adult in the world.

So enter someone like Joa, who is pretty much the most unconventional skateboard celebrity imaginable and bends the time-space continuum by being A) intelligent B) relatively well-adjusted C) a gaming nerd D) self-deprecating E) a ripping skater and F) a youtuber who also then can make fun of other youtubers because he's a ghost in the machine.

The NineClub would be doing themselves a MASSIVE solid/favor to have GH on and let him talk frankly and openly about all the shit that is wrong in skating (invariably, he will also talk about what's right with it) including being vulnerable to critiques of the actual show, and then rub a couple of brain cells together and respond to him in real time.

But they wont, because they have no idea how to actually process and respond to it when someone tells you you're doing something wrong. This is why toxic positivity and participation celebrations are a real thing. Fortunately (or unfortunately for these dudes and a lot of their guests) the real world will snap you back into reality very quickly.

Actually I meant George Poulos.

Oh my bad. sorry.
my point still stands about hater.

i feel like i've listened to a GH vid or stream where he says he wouldn't accept going on the 9 club if invited, same with the bunt because after like 5-10 min of "so what do you think is wrong with skateboarding content these days" then there'd be not enough to talk about

[close]

I guess that's the self-awareness kicking in.
really though, his background story isnt terribly interesting either, but the NineClub usually backs it up to that point at least.

I think maybe the problem with the NineClub doing a three hour show about how Steve Berra is trash is it A) could keep away precious future sponsors and B) Joa already did it on his own platform for all the world to see, many many times.

i thought i heard GH was gonna have a bunt episode in the next season? that would be a pretty good episode imo
