Roger Bagley - Jenkem Interview

[Abyss1]

OK, short recap of what he covered:

• Doesn't want to do another complicated lightning-rod video so soon after the Cole thing, thinks Roger is pathetic and probably suicidal.
• Roger loves Tim Pool and the GH video criticizing Tim turned Roger against him.
• The Oblow Nine Club backlash made Roger mad and resent the public - the "insane part" quote was probably a reference to Chase Webb. GH doesn't even have an issue with talking about the Webb part because he was the only person who faced any consequences, Loy and Nyjah walked away scott free.
• Accountability is just part of having an audience.
• People told GH terrible things about Jason Ellis, thinks the industry is littered with bad people and that this will continue to happen.
• Doesn't think every show is obligated to weigh in on every controversy, makes sense that not everyone will get involved.
• Calls Roger a coward for not directly naming him.
• This one really stuck out to me: The Nine Club's business model relies on good relations with the skate industry, GH doesn't. Doesn't care if the industry turns on him. Will stop making videos if there's no demand.
• Embarrassing that there's so much controversy around telling the truth. GH videos shouldn't matter this much. Doesn't see this as a "left or right" issue, it's right or wrong.
• Doesn't want to do a Huberman video because it would be too many political commentaries.
• Thinks Crob has to be deeply pissed at Roger for doing the Jenkem piece.

Yeah its why we call the show the Nice Club...they try way too hard to not upset anyone.  weren't they pretty quiet overf the whole Yonnie Cruz situation too

Imagine caring and willingly giving your hard earned money to GH

Exactly how I felt until about 2 mins ago. Reading the summary above i all I could think is how dumb are people? How could you possibly not have known all that already? But then I guess if there are people out there that need it spoon fed to them by young Sheldon then fuck it, get paid GH

Maybe a reference to his words being edited out of context or changed by Jenkem or something?

Also did anyone see they didn't address the Asta thing or the Roger thing on their live the other night? Not that anyone expected them to. And everything behind a paywall now?

It could be a reference to Trump's lawsuit against 60 minutes. CBS is considering settling because they don't want Trump to block Paramount's merger with Larry Ellison's (Oracle) son's company Skydancer. The lawsuit like everything else Trump does is probably bullshit, was only there to intimidate, and make up lies about someone else.

Free speech advocates only care about Trump being able to lie and for Nazi's to have louder voices.

Edit: I took a shot in the dark and I was super far off the mark.

Disney already settled a similar suit end of last year

Don’t quite see Roger’s photo has to do with Skydance?

[TheLurper]

@Atiba Applebum you're right. I took a shot in the dark before looking at the rest of the photos he posted in his story.

It is about someone named Sean Evans. I have no idea who Sean Evans is.

The hot wings guy?

Edit: had a look.   Guess he works on Hot Ones.   Maybe I remember this from the interview.   Didn’t he say so,thing about Bobby Lee being an asshole on it.   Maybe that’s what this is in reference to

Looking forward to 57 minutes of GH systematically dismantling this bloke. Another disaffected, grifty neo-lib "entrepreneur"... Joa's really got a type lately.

Hahaha Joa destroy's him. The link is fine just an audio file that actually is funny as fuck. All thought I will say hearing Joa use the word Fag threw me off a bit. I thought he was better than that.

Wild that Roger can comprehend his creepy skater bros "living in fear" over their own scumbag behavior but not how trans people or immigrants might feel.

So much more though after skimming through again:

Says skateboarders shit on one another but is a known hater and wants to punch someone in the face (presumably for their opinion). Doesn't name names, hides Twitter likes. So brave. Blames wood shops for low minimums and skate shops for being "brands" then Nine Club makes their own boards. If a barrier to entry for podcasting wasnt as easy as it is he wouldnt have a job or a floor to sleep on. Why is the barrier to a board brand any different? Talks about how the industry doesnt pay well but then they can't keep "good help" because they don't pay well. frankly, i dont think i have ever heard roger have a logical "industry" take for someone who has been in it for so long.

Being 50 and mentioning contributing a high yield savings account as a new accomplishment in an interview is pretty funny. hates socializing but wants everyone to get together weekly like the chocolate anniversary show and come together to help his app. Certainly not being honest about being happy while spouting all this misery.

Not saying anything new here and props for quitting booze but "confused" is an understatement. Self-awareness at an all time low. Dude's brain is toasted. He's just saying anything.

At the end of the day you are hating on Rog for views shared by the man you elected president.

Part of me feels bad for rog. it seems he's let his delusions get the better of him. A lot of his political alignments are typical for the terminally online. He seems to be swatting at shadows; mad at people for no reason. A lot of this reads with a pretty strong sense of apathy. Hopefully he gets his perspective straightened out and moves away from the internet/spotlight as much as possible.

A lot of his issues come down to confidence. A lot of the criticism of the nine club comes down to their spinelessness and generally milquetoast quality. If he had confidence in his ideas he wouldn't be worried about "the trolls winning" or whatever he asks himself after setting up another fake scenario to worry about in the nine club editing bay. They've handled situations poorly in the past because they were indecisive and spineless and this shows in rogers general demeanor, and obviously pent up frustration, which he directs at his detractors through humiliating himself.

My thing with this angle is that we’re not talking about some troubled kid trying to find their way. We’re talking about a 50 year old man with a platform that largely caters to young people.


His traumas and issues are all valid but at a certain point it’s on you to do the work and grow up a little. It’s actually extremely easy to not be a shithead and it’s exhausting to waste so much benefit of the doubt on grown ass men like him.

[n0torious]

I agree with all of that. I feel bad that he's so emotionally stunted, but it doesn't make him any less responsible for his weird behavior. Just because he chooses to not have empathy for others outside of his weird bubble doesn't mean you have to follow his lead.

This isn’t the same limewire program we all destroyed our computers on. I loaded the file on my phone and it’s fine

I for one am really grateful to Roger. Without him I don't think I'd have ever found out about this:

That's the only shop I can think of that prices wheels per wheel, but only lets you add 4 to the cart at a time.

Anyone who legitimately uses "keyboard warriors" as a complaint is 100% a kook.

Also remember on The Nine Club when Roger said on Slap of=off because it was some automatic filter that changes it when someone types that a rider is off something so it doesn't show up on search engines or some shit like that? Kinda tells you all you need to know about this dude's rational thinking skills.

I remember when they were reviewing Baker 4 Roger very casually accused Beagle of smoking crack in a clip because that's what he thought moon rock was. Everyone else in the room seemed pretty uncomfortable and tried correcting him and he would not back down. I think later they even looked it up and he still would not admit he was wrong.

[close]

Pretty sure he suggested it was molly, not that that’s any smarter nor does it make this dweeb look cooler.

For some reason I was thinking about this yesterday. Nobody fucking smokes ecstasy ahaha what the fuck? Makes this whole thing even more fried.

Yes. I thought it seemed pretty obvious.

I just read the interview and was blanking on who he was referencing. Joa initially seems more likely, but after him wanting to ignore allegations for the sake of,”He just had an insane part” or whatever he said, it definitely is no one.

I called in on the show once years ago just cause, and no one was part of the topic, and he really seemed like he didn’t like no one.

That way of thinking he has is so fucked up. I hope everyone else on the show is checking him so they don’t give shitty people a platform. Sounds like they are.

The whole problem with the Nine Club is they want to keep the show surface level and just skateboarding. Their platform is too big and they have a responsibility now to be conscience about who they have on and how they present themselves. I think Roger is just stuck in an old head mentality.

Makes me wonder why Steezus ain’t on the show anymore. He would bring up and talk about important social issues, and I would speculate that’s why he just disappeared from the show.

Again, I don’t know shit though. Such a bummer that the show has become what it is now. Was such a fan for years.

[Pete]

Wait did Steezus J Christ leave or was he fired?
He was living his friggen daydream bro.
Image getting fired by a 50 year old dude with a lisp damn.
