[@mgers75]

People in the comments continuously roasting Kyro about Scientology because "they don't understand it" is completely incorrect. They are in the comments because they've watched the documentaries, gone down the KZbin rabbit holes, and heard all the stories of abuse and disassociation. Yeah, they rope you in with the $100 communication courses and $30 books, but ask Aaron about the $5000 purification rundown, or the $45,000 OT3 course where they handcuff a briefcase to your wrist and you get to read the handwritten by L Ron Hubbard secret texts....which are just made up Sci-Fi mumbo jumbo that is covered in 5 minutes by South Park. Aaron also whitewashes the human trafficking and financial crimes. They can't recruit in the USA because everyone has the internet and no it's a scam. So they've been bringing in people from Mexico, South America, Latin American, Africa, etc with the promise of the American Dream if they join the sea org. But what really happens is they get you to LA or Clearwater, take your passport, shove you in a dilapidated old hotel or apartmebt complex Scientology bought 40 yrs ago bunked with 8 other people living in squaller making $47 dollar a week...cause youre a "religious volunteer" not a employee....and they make you work 15 hours a day 6-7 days a week. Aaron will never agree to do an interview with someone who will be knowledgeable about these abuses or skilled enough an interviewer to press back or not fall for the change the subject tricks he learned in those communications classes that these guys fell into!!

Well said. Scientology is one of the worst cults out there. It’s a terrible thing for anyone to support. Watching braille and buying braille products is inevitably making the cult money regardless of how you try to twist it.

I saw a pod cast that said Kyro is in a lead position at the church of scientology in California. I just hope none of the other skaters fall for the science fiction.

[@randallflat2010]

This is dead on, it is easily one of the most terrifying cults in existence today. People bash religion all the time sadly, but I don't know of a single Jesus/God based religion that will label people who go against it "suppressive", or send people to your house and job if you don't agree with it trying to discredit or destroy your life. They will chase you down, yell in your face, scream lies about you in public. I love what Aaron has done for skateboarding, totally crushed to hear he bought into such a disturbing and manipulative cult that destroys families and people's lives under the guise of "creating a better world".

Big ups to Jeff for asking questions about Scientology. I know it was probably hard coming up with meaningful questions on the spot, but you did a great job and asked some general questions I think were important to ask. Aaron gave dodgy non-answers, and conveniently left out how he initially got involved with Scientology, until Jeff kept playing dumb and repeatedly asked the same question. At first it was Aaron just took a course, then it was he paid to take the course, then it was Scientologists showed up to his door and he took a personality test while he wasn't in a great mind state - and they told him to take courses with their Church. Scientology and Kyro are sketchy. Big ups Jeff.

[@matthewbrandon267]

Yea I agree, very sketchy, he didn't answer anything and you could tell he wanted to move on. Shadeball

[@NickLyttle]

@@matthewbrandon267 also the bs from Kyro about being unsure if he's going to be able to keep the lights on/keep affording the channel... Meanwhile, he's donated literally $1,000,000+ USD to be promoted/move up within the Scientology church. From the video posted on Growing Up in Scientology's channel, he has a whole video going through all of this information / the organization structure of Scientology, etc. He explains there are two different shifts of Scientology operating out of the same building in SF, and treated almost as separate organizations; the day shift, is called San Francisco Day. The second shift is called San Francisco Foundation. Kyro took the position of Executive Director of San Francisco Day, and Jim Fitzgerald is the Executive Director of San Francisco Foundation. San Francisco Day is the more senior organization, it has more staff/publicity/bigger stats/more income. This means the head of the San Francisco org, is the leader in that area; that person is now Kyro. In order to become the Executive Director, Kyro completed training in both OCE and EFBC courses; the fully trained Org Executive Course and Flag Executive Briefing Course - which essentially contain every management policy L. Ron Hubbard wrote on how to run an organization.

[@ogmisa9904]

Being lied to, according to the law, also is not really an excuse here. As for Carlos, no one really knows at this point in time. Even in this video I heard a rumor that was new to me about him getting a girl knocked up. As for inappropriate behavior near/with children, it's obvious that was why Fetty got terminated by Braille. Very direct cause there. I don't think Carlos left over that. But he may have been told to leave due to alcohol abuse.

Hilarious to see Jeff say Aaron doesn’t fit on real because of his style of skating (which is fine) but not have the self perception to understand that most of his “haters” specifically mention his style… because it matters. Both are still great skaters.

[@ItsM3Tyler]

He was more so speaking about type of skater like manual skater vs gap skater

[@jeffwonsong]

I didnt say anything was wrong his style. I was just saying he didnt necessarily fit Real and he was literally agreeing with me. Like word for word. Haha

[@SubjectDredd]

@@jeffwonsong I know bro that’s why I literally said “(which is fine)” For example I think Neen Williams heel flip down that stair set is harder than you doing a triple kick flip down a stair set. Because of the style Neen put into that one trick vs yours don’t look nearly as pretty. That’s the main thing your “haters” say about you. Again you’re still a great skater, but just like how Aaron was obviously not a fit for the real team, doesn’t make him a bad skater but yes his whole shtick is manuals. Yours are triple flips that lack “style”.

[@fatsteve2380]

@@jeffwonsongyou missed the point of what homie was saying

[@jeffwonsong]

@@SubjectDredd right and I said “no discredit to your skating” meaning I still think hes a good skater, just his type of skating doesn’t fit the genre of the Real team. I never said if it was worse or better.

[@vertigodream]

love these podcast and always look forward to listening to them.

[@jarrenjose6230]

[@stevebrunner5521]

Growing up from 2013-2015 I was big fan of Kyro and Braille. Its a bummer that all of S-ology stuff has come to light, but its better to know the truth, than than to give your money or overwhelming support to people you do not personally know. Lastly, i still respect the purpose of Braille and spreading the enjoyment of skateboarding.

[@SnakeOilGhost]

Man, I was stoked to see him asked about scientology, but he definitely needed to be asked about the further cult implications, does he currently donate earnings from Braille to Scientology, does he believe in Xenu? Or did he take a class and never see them again and feels like he's "a scientologist" because he uses their "teachings"?

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

80% of braile go to scientology. He os main man for scienrology now in san diego or whole cali...

[@turbocateyeS475]

I just wanna know who deleted Nigels comments? Let that man stand on bidness!

[@leemichael752]

THIS! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed!

[@sentiss]

if there is a part 2, you should ask him how each braille member got on the channel, like how did he find them, where they came from etc. that interests me

[@3clubforever]

Hey, thank you for the interview. I’m a little surprised about all the skate history you didn’t know but that’s fine because I’m sure a lot of the viewers didn’t know either. It’s a learning experience for all

[@Clasped]

As soon as you said, “I gotta show you this picture” I IMMEDIATELY knew you were gonna show him that exact pic lmaoo

[@jackpot5115]

Lamont’s fit is fire 🔥

[@OOPS4U2C]

One of the Best Lamont Interviews This Far. Keep the heat coming my Nigg!! This shit is like the Kat Williams interview for skateboarding lol.

[@golendorfjules1838]

skaters in braille are hourly paid but he didn't say how much per hour.

[@sully6538]

he's not going to leak their pay that's just a breach of privacy that doesn't really need to be disclosed. If people aren't getting paid enough they are welcome to leave

[@Mike-wc3jo]

Lmao would your boss tell people how much you are paid ?

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

20$

[@macbeth642]

all skaters are proabably paid different hourly wages depending on various factors, how long, theyve been there, tasks, position etc, doesnt make sense to throw out one number if all are paid differently

[@golendorfjules1838]

Then Why talk about it exactly and make it a whole chapter on KZbin ? We already knew they were getting paid

[@MITUS]

I feel like the evolution of Braille was when the guys were going on the road and getting into the streets.. I get that it's easier to film at home base, but those videos were dope. Would love to see more of that and it eventually bringing about some street parts.

[@JayDizz92]

Every episode is people just explaining everything to Lammont.

[@5am_mills]

I remember watching Aarons videos like 13yrs ago doing weird skate challenges at some random flatground/ledge park… then everything exploded where he’d have all the kids at that Cali park with JC and them

[@rayrios3504]

So glad aaron finally addressing the drama. Every side has two stories, and really nice to see his side of the equation. Edit: One thing I will give in critique is I feel that Lamont and Jeff felt hesistant to ask some of the more pressing questions, maybe because of the fact that they are literally in the braille house, but also because they seem like decent guys. At times it felt that they fed into the more positive answer Aaron would give, revolving the whole scientology aspect and the legitimacy of "how it all works". Nonetheless, I am still happy Aaron spoke on his behalf because it gives people a lot more understanding of his perspective than all the yt drama that has been sparking around Braille as a whole. Sorry for the drawn out assesment on the topic, I just find the whole thing super intriguing bc I've been watching Braille since I got my first board from a Big Lots lmao, anyone who remembers Big Lots shoutout.

[@therealdjbobbyb]

He didnt address the cult of Scientology he is now a leader of. HUGE red flag this dude is part of a child trafficking organization straight up.

[@magaz]

Hearing him talk about “the algorithm doesn’t favour skateboarding because it’s dangerous” and I’m over here trying to make an airsoft channel work… Social media hates us guys. Especially meta.

[@rockythomas]

Lamont not knowing who Rick McCrank is 😂

[@infinidominion]

That was unbelievable

[@Nikoa285]

there is something about aarons eyes that freak me out

[@Nocallmesol]

I’m the 111th thumbs up. Angels? I soon meet you Lamont

[@tigersbaseball1989]

This was a really cool conversation. Always appreciate the knowledge Aaron drops ❤

[@AngelRodriguez-my7ht]

Lamont bolt should have stayed in that Scientology topic it was lightly touched and vaguely answered it made me question Aaron’s answers and him

[@nickhomiee]

Yo Aaron I'd love to work at the braille. Everyone talking about how bad you pay your employees. Health insurance 401k and having a private park to skate. Sounds like a freaking sick job to me!

[@AngelRodriguez-my7ht]

So why did Aaron not mention losing Gabe might have effected his video production because I feel thats the main reason not the AlGoRiThUm

[@Kazperian]

Whaat?! Aaron did it?? Speaking about "It", Dang... much respect earned.

[@SKATEINFORMANT]

he doesnt know who rick mckrank is
