Is it just me or did that end up being PJ Ladd interviews the Nine Club rather than the other way around?
Seems like PJ was genuinely curious though. "Did you guys skate to the sand gaps? How often did you guys go to SF? Where did Mike York live?"
Maybe he should have gotten on Girl, seems like he's very interested in what they were doing around that time.

These guys do not have the toolkit or ability to interview anybody outside of similarly-positioned high school drop-outs whose entire lived experience is only skateboarding. Crob can barely hold a conversation with another skater that has a fulltime job.

Replacing Rog with Jeron and booting Eldy off the live show is when it went downhill imo. Even though Rog is kind of an introverted curmudgeon at least he actually knows the history of skating, Jeron is too stoned to care or be interested. Crob's whole schtick gets tiresome and it's sad because when he's more off the cuff he's actually semi-entertaining, he just doesn't have the charisma to play the role he gave himself. I don't mind Kelly as the hype man/fan boy, his enthusiasm is endearing even if he sounds like a SoCal frat boy. They should have kept Eldy and made the 5th spot a revolving door of regulars like Jeron/Mike York/Daniel Castillo/Vincent Alvarez/Returning guests. Someone else said earlier in the thread but I think they're better off doing a season format for the main show and every other week for the live show.


Eldridge is cooked...he was either too drunk or on pain meds, and would make no sense...not to forget the passive aggressiveness towards kelly for actually having on eS and getting pro models lol

I was a bit put off at the start of the PJ Ladd ep with the spiritual stuff but I really liked him by the end.

I like Jeron on the show. It's cool to have the chill homie around and I feel like guests respect him too.

Jeron is the best part of the nine club. He’s pretty fried but I just find that relatable

I am absolutely shocked at how much PJ talked and how comfortable he seemed with it. Not at all what I expected.

PJ has been my favorite since a wee lad

the only piece of content that wasnt photo or video related I ever saw of PJ was a hardflip trick tip where he said "tuck your knees to your nipples"

but yeah, definitely expected him to be shy

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

Chris Roberts doing the Adam Friedland interrupting 'bit' but Adam is just doing it as a 'bit' and Chris Roberts is not.
Is it true?  Or did you read it on the slap message board?

It will be cool if PJ goes elsewhere to talk in the future, at least one more occasion. Him getting into the specifics of a Paul Schmitt experience of board development and sticking to it be it a decade-ish later says a lot about him. Doubtful his offerings ever go above 8.5 in the future, but if so, I would cop to compare alongside a BBS standard offering.

That interview was pretty awkward to sit through as a viewer though. The unedited version would be entertaining just how many long-pauses they had to reel back in.

And when they answered his questions they were kind of dismissive about the answers.
PJ definitely should have been on Girl.
With all the shoe talk I was surprised there was no mention of New Balance.
Sounded like with the development of his mold with Schmitt he never even actually got the finished product from him.

That was spot on

yep. needs to loosen up and not take things so seriously.

I respectfully disagree; it would be rather nice if he would start taking some things seriously.  Like, say… his role as host of a podcast? 
The smallest amount of (p)research into his guests would be a fine place to start.
Maybe less softball questions?
I mean, if he wants to keep at this, these seem like pretty low bars to jump over & the quality of programming would prolly only benefit.

Aside from Roger, those dudes never fail to amaze how they know jack shit about skating prior to 1992-93.  It's wild to me, lol

I heard stories of pj battling Schmitt about fingers of flat on the shape he wanted. I would assume both are very stubborn.

Did anyone catch Brinks post about Kelly? It was a video of someone chasing Kelly after he claims Kelly called him the F word. Kelly seemed genuinely scared shitless. no one and his minions were shouting everyone who asked for additional evidence down in the comments. He deleted the post shortly after. Weird shit.

This is the first one I’ve seen. It’s weird no one was being so hardcore about it only to take the video down immediately.

When people were asking for context and if there was more to the story, he said that there will be more to come. Looks like we might wanna be on the lookout for more deleted posts/stories.


Welcome to the OC bitch! This is how it’s done in Orange County.

Kelly seems like a good guy, but he comes off like a person who cannot hold a conversation about anything else in the universe other than skateboarding. I mean, he probably thinks Europe is a country.

Didn’t he get beat up by some “crazy kids?” At the beach like a year ago??? Hmmmm. He seems  like the annoying privileged dude at the bar that can’t hold his liquor and isn’t self aware enough to realize it when he runs his mouth off or offends someone. He was pretty hammered in that video. Interested to hear the rest of the story that  was hinted at.

Well he did more than once say that he credited hazing as how he got fit. I was just like. Hmmm. That’s not right. Bullying is shit.

on one of his streams gifted hater said that he was at a party and Kelly called him the F word to his face, sounds like this is a trend…

No he didn't. Joa said that he heard someone brought him up to Kelly at a party and Kelly called him the f-slur. When they met face to face Kelly asked him about coming on the Nine Club.

Does anyone remember the rumor that Kelly drunkenly said the n-word and that was why he got booted from Expedition?

Seems like a good guy, I don’t believe he’s racist or homophobic, more of a drinking problem if anything. Not that I say those things drunk, maybe the OC just comes out in those moments.

Not trying to give Kelly the benefit of the doubt too much because I never liked Kelly, but I saw the video and in that particular video he looks wasted and is slurring a bit. Nowhere in the video is he seen dropping the f word or calling the guy a bitch like he’s claiming while filming and chasing him, again not claiming it didn’t happen but it’s a he said she said situation. Brick posting it, again is another opportunistic chance to pre maturely hype up his agenda like he always does in his now private Instagram page, not a good look. Looking forward to this long awaited GH video and from what I hear, it’s gonna rip Brick a new asshole that he so rightfully deserves.

I stumbled upon a screen recording of it and saved it. Anyone have a link to one of those megaupload style sites that I can upload a link to? I'm not trying to upload it onto a tube style site.
But yeah, it's a clip of some dude confronting Kelly, saying that Kelly called him some slurs. Kelly's obviously hammered and  trying to back away but the dude keeps following him and was getting more and more upset with his tone getting more threatening, then it appears the dude either punched him or shoved him, can't really tell because when it happens the camera shakes and doesn't record it. Was definitely discomforting to watch.

put it up on imgur.com and make it private, that way it’s invisible in the gallery and you can only access it through a link

if you get drunk and do dumb shit because of it you shouldn’t be ‘spared’ for being drunk, you just shouldn’t drink like that. kelly seems like he’s on that p-rod “my brain is minimally involved in my life” mentality though so i don’t think he’s gonna figure it out but i mean it’s sad if it happens once but after the nth time you should start looking at the bigger picture

edit: nah i just saw the video and it's pretty fucking humiliating i don't think it needs to be shared at all

Yeah, Kelly obviously was shook and didn’t want any confrontation and kept denying saying the slurs, but judging by how angry the dude was and how the dude kept approaching Kelly even though Kelly was trying to back up it seems like something had to have occurred between them.
I tried the site you said but decided to just upload it onto YouTube as unlisted. Contemplating whether I should post the link, was thinking about it to those who were curious and wanted to see it and make their own analysis on the whole scenario, but then yeah you’re right, it’s a pretty embarrassing clip.
