Not as cool as a Theos A Plumber podcast, or A Sex Worker

Who else grew up playing the Tony Hawk PS1 and PS2 games

[@RevolutionNo1]

Played to deth! 2 was the reason I bought an PS1.

Burnt through couple of controllers on those games alone 😁

I can't believe Tony hawk is 50. Such a damn legend and will eternally seem like he's 23

[@suzie5813]

Dick Wellington damn. He does NOT look 50. Or I mean not what I would expect someone to look at that age.

[@tonygaebel6800]

I had no idea Santino was in the skate world like this. RESPECT 🙌

[@brandontaylor4134]

Damn santino, podcast gets better each episode💯

[@curtismbenson]

Brandon Taylor he’s a natural. He will continue to find more success.

[@100Kto1M]

I like how Santino titles the episodes 022. He puts three digits because he’s committed to make over 100 episodes. I like that.

[@navrotron22]

Tony Hawk is sick. That dudes videos games brought me so much fucking entertainment as a kid. I always joke with my uncle that he looks like Tony Hawk (cuz he does) and his daughter who's only 6 didn't know who Tony was so I had to explain to her that he's basically the best skateboarder to ever live. I showed her Tony doing 50 tricks and she loved it.

[@K31R616]

Yes! Great to see a skateboarder being pulled into the comic's podcast scene - thanks Andrew!

[@furleysbrain]

Yeah I always wondered if he'd be on JRE. Gingerboi got him first

[@glassystore5243]

How tf did you get Tony Hawk on a podcast!? lmao so sick

[@MarcusBGoode]

Tony Hawk's Underground was & still is my favorite video game of all time!

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

I was at my peak as a skater during the outlaw years. I stopped in 96 , too many injuries. The golden era of street skating. Old Plan B videos, the beginning of 411 video magazine, Funnest times of my life. Running from cops, shredding the South suburbs of Chicago. Great podcast 👍

[@Collins811]

Not the same timing but same story. After breaking every damn joint at least twice, then around 8 concussions and then snapping my femer, I was done... And now I have degenerative disc disease in my back, happily ever after

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

@@Collins811 damn dude! You definitely went harder than me on your body. I was just getting laid up for weeks at a time with horrific ankle sprains, huge hip watermelon bruises, along with grape fruit knee bruises filled with fluid. Would miss school a bunch because I couldn't get up and walk around. I ultimately wanted to play baseball and that's kind of tough to do when your fucked up all the time haha 👍

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

@Deee S that's a great recommendation. That had not really crossed my mind. I recently transitioned to some electric longboarding and it seemed to really quench my thirst for being on a board again. However, I'm not too pleased with my purchase and multiple exchanges. I'd like to see some of the premium boards come down in price just a bit before making another investment.

[@michaelhilton8065]

The Tony Hawk videos games were the best and they brought skateboarding back from the underground

[@justanotherjoe6151]

Tony Hawk is really chill and seems like such a down-to-earth, normal person. I've known of him for 25+ years but never actually saw an interview with him that was this long. Really cool.

[@dannyball1578]

[@DrAdnan]

I remember playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater so much as a kid. The good old days

[@Yungtacosss]

This is awesome!!!! Tony Hawk was a huge part of my childhood he made me buy a skateboard of my own and all his videogames haha

[@derekhudson3415]

Would love to see a Travis Pastrana podcast like this. The 199 is a pioneer like Tony but just in a different sport. Hes got hours of stories on deck im sure.

[@kylemcnab927]

Derek Hudson hell yeah

[@augustkraus1389]

What a stupid a fucking idea. Nobody outside of X-Games knows who that is. Everyone and their parents have heard of Tony Hawk.

[@LegendaryManSlayer93]

This man was my childhood. It’s sad to see how the times have changed. Man i miss the 90s...

[@connormatthews522]

This was amazing, thank you man. Love how as time went on you could see Tony open up and get really into the chat. Props, Andrew.

[@reallygoodsoil]

Yaa Tony. I'm 30 and I've been a skateboarder since 99 in large part due to the Tony Hawk games and his influence in the sport. Never got great but I love it more and more each season.

[@ryankarpienski1031]

It’s so cool to hear Tony talk about all the great songs I grew up with through THPS. Always loved Tony but now I love him that much more

[@GreenmanRP]

Oh hell yea!!! This should be an awesome episode!!

[@flex_piper]

13:20 Holy shit! I can't believe Tony brought up those event's I saw him and met him for the first time at Six Flags Missouri 2004 it was surreal seeing him in person. Had this massive vert ramp setup and he went hard, Even gave his board away and shook everyone's hand who showed up. Tony Hawk is definitely the g.o.a.t and he's so chill and friendly makes him even cooler. Just wanted to share this story for any skaters out there. 🤘

[@neenerheaddj]

This is AWESOME. So cool to see Tony on here. Thanks, guys! :)

[@jlkelly304]

Man, I am so glad to have stumbled upon your content. I'm going through the old "I'm dying up here" episodes now and really diggin it. It's cool that you are having guests on that aren't comedians. I grew up skating so this episode hit home. Cheers man!

Bro. BRO. ICON.

[@kylelouer4323]

Dude Tony Hawk is a god damn legend. As like 12 year old boy watching him nail that 900, the video game, making the X games, what once was, the coolest shit ever. Dudes a real pioneer, we bestow a proper salute apon thee Mr. Hawk, fucking wood pusher

[@blakeminiard7051]

Man, the red rocket is landing some JRE level guests right off the bat. One reason I like the podcast is the random variety of guests so far.

[@johnb9523]

Tony is the man! He has done so much for the culture and sport of skateboarding.

[@williamcsmith2104]

Tony and Rodney Mullen stopped at our little park in Wyoming and seshed for a couple hours, they were the nicest and sweetest dudes! I still have my signed hat hanging on the wall to this day, Much Love!

We drink whiskey in here...best intro

[@hewasdeadwhenigotthere7109]

Ive been skating since i was 10 years old. Im 28 now... Kinda stopped in my early 20s. Kinda depressing. I was pretty damn good too.i remember i could heelflip an epic double set of 20 stairs total back in the day. Ill never forget. Friends cheering after i landed the hard ass bails. Mannn.... Getting old sucks. i love you guy's. Thank you Tony! Thank you andrew! 😭

[@jamesb43]

I am a BMX Guy, but have always had such massive respect for Tony Hawk. #bringbackvert needs to be a thing for both skating and BMX. Great guest and great podcast, Santino! You’re killing it, dude!

[@zapdadzier7569]

Great podcast!! Definitely took me back to the roots. Love WHISKEY GINGER!!👌👍

[@mikemcginnis1288]

I'll always remember the 900 , i ran outside and cheered and got all teary eyed. First seen Tony Hawk at a skate demo in Vista Ca. with Danny Way , Billy Ruff, Lester Kasai , Eddie Elguira , Rob Roskopp in 1987. It was such an influence i am skating to this day.

I was watching when Tony did the 900 at the '99 X Games. It really was a moment to remember. My brother and I were literally sitting in front of the TV gripping our seats. It definitely was a night to remember.

Awesome podcast. Even more awesome guest. Don't see him on as many podcasts in Cheeto's ring as I'd like to. Cool score. So glad you're running with this podcast man. You're funny as shit and you're one of the best hosts I've ever seen.

Tony Hawk is living legend 🐐

[@Kurabuman]

Although I'm part of the group that grew up on Tony Hawk games, Tony's done a whole lot more than that to underground culture so let's take a minute to appreciate our Ginger God for being able to use his platform to have icons and interesting people share their stories. When someone gets as big as Tony it's hard to keep it real, but Andrew finds the real ones.
