[@jordanarmenta]

I love that you guys decorate in accordance to whoever is coming by! It's the little things 👍

[@thenineclub]

+Jordan Armenta that it is, glad you took notice! -Crob

[@neuralbliss]

Classy, hospitable group!

[@speedhead]

i post this every week, but i dont care lol. this show kicks ass and it allows us common folk to hang out with our favorite skaters and hear all the epic stories. thanks Chris and Rob. you guys kick ass.

[@thenineclub]

+BeyondTheAges thank you! We welcome you into Roge's living room every Monday! Enjoy your stay! -Crob

[@skeightemerica]

@@thenineclub next time shut up and let the guest talk and quit talking over them when they speak, Chris.

[@bushwickerman]

@@skeightemerica bruh its a podcast. lighten up. these were early days too.

[@stewietk]

I hate to sound cliche but damn these interviews just keep getting better, through this interview I really got a great insight on him. much respect to Paul Rodriguez. this content is pure gold

[@kidchill9403]

stewietk pure gold 😅👌👌👌

[@fuckmondays1885]

Chris Roberts is a laugh man 😂😂 I love his sense of humor .

[@JackSloan]

totally agree! Always with the wittiest replies lmao

[@thenineclub]

+Jacob medina haha thank you my G.! -Crob

[@TheRickyp83]

This is probably the best interview I've ever seen of a pro skater....also I can't help but notice that the overriding theme I got from Paul is that he's not "hungry" anymore and that he's satisfied with his career. He's just focused on SLS and aside from that, he's pretty much done as far as giving us content. He just doesn't care anymore whether he's impressing the skate world anymore because he's already proved himself and achieved his goals. I also can't help but notice that it seems like turning 30 has put a stigma on him in terms of confidence. It's like he thinks he's just too old to put out a banger video part anymore. But when your confidence to do so isn't in the right place, well then you probably can't. Not trying to be negative about Paul. I've watched him since he was a kid and seen him accomplish all he has and I can't blame him for having the mindset he has right now. I'd probably be the same way if I were in his shoes.

[@chabib23]

I think the bigger issue is that he is trying to create a stable and lucrative life for himself and whatever family he may have. That takes a different set of priorities.

[@shawnt.6081]

Christopher Habib great point

[@alexcorona]

Awesome that he showed Love to Nigel, need to get him on the show since he's local! We need more filmers on the nine club.

[@sKyWIperzzz]

Seriously great work, can't be more stoked on the current state and direction of the show, Paul talks about gaps in the marketplace, well there is a COMPLETE lack of serious skater driven podcast right now, props for filling that niche.

[@thenineclub]

+sKyWIperzzz thank you for tuning in, tell a friend.. or 2... or 20 haha -Crob

[@urbanomedia6882]

That was awesome C-Rob, P-Rod, and R-Bag.

[@thenineclub]

+URBANO x Media thanks U-Med!! -Crob

[@HaroldWalden]

It really surprised me to see just how business savvy Paul Rodrigues actually is. I probably shouldn't be surprised though, he is at the top of this game we all call skateboarding for a reason. Love the show guys, keep the interviews coming.

[@alexcorona]

Harold Walden He also grew up having a famous Dad...

[@mkchomponthis]

By far best one yet. I literally didn't want it to end haha. Been skating since 2000 and been a huge fan of Paul ever since In-Bloom days, so it was awesome to hear what he had to say. Keep it up guys. Thanks for doing these.

[@thenineclub]

+mkchomponthis thank you for watching!!! -Crob

[@crustydread]

I love the shot out to Nigel, warms my heart and I dont even know him. Such a good guy.

[@stewietk]

I hate to sound cliche but damn these interviews just keep getting better, much respect to Paul Rodriguez, got a great insight on him through this one. great content man pure gold

[@NathFilms]

Give us footy Prod, the boss filmed a part for the new emerica vid, he said he won't we out do his stay gold part, but no one cares, any footage is good, even if it's chilling bench lines, we love that shit, you have done your thing you have nothing to prove anymore

[@tysonrinker8089]

NathFilms he gave us footy. You saw it?

[@brianna5366]

Now I wake up every monday waiting to see my youtube's notification from The Nine Club! Thanks for this one, Paul is my all time favorite... after C-Rob of course!

[@thenineclub]

+Briann PunK does it say good morning sunshine!? Or is it just a standard spam? Hahaha -Crob

[@brianna5366]

+The Nine Club well it says that there might be a virus threat actually haha

[@thenineclub]

+Briann PunK hahaha you win!! -Crob

[@JJMza]

Nigel K. Alexander goes down as one of the best filmers in skating. Even in his edits he's been doing what Flip was able to accomplish a couple years afterwards - not only just from the original music used but because it was definitely something refreshing and rarely done in such a long time now.. My first real branded deck was a DNA Jerry Fowler "World domination" board from a Guam mall shop back in 2008. It was then I realized there was clear grip tape. P-ROD has always been part of every new things beginning. That Plan B Life After Death video was "The" 1st easily accessible skate mini full length to view. It's good from beginning to end and I appreciate Hip-Hop and the way that was edited is timeless.

[@sleepytime93]

This show is like a fine wine, just keeps getting better and better with age..

[@Drewsdays2]

My day is made :)

[@fatlinesofcode]

pretty good. but where can i watch a good interview with The Kalis?

[@thehappychildrenFL]

+Phil Andrews search his epically laterd, if you haven't seen it.

[@Garf2O]

made your life you prod fanboi

[@pjferdinand1]

like made skateboards

[@ephinskate]

Kind of sad hearing them talking about if prod will be having another video part. it's like the ending of that generation where lots of us skating hard in the 2000s. Hearing there may not be another video part from him makes us feel old, would be epic if he can just pump out one more career ending part.

[@ProdByClockwerk]

"The juice just doesn't feel worth the squeeze." I'm getting that on my tombstone!

[@thenineclub]

one of the best quotes ever!

[@khrissyboy69]

This one really hit home. Paul has always been "the guy" to me and many others. It's just so insane how something so big can happen so organically, it's amazing.

[@BeatBum805]

Prod drunk 54 mins into this.. hahaha

[@shawnt.6081]

BeatBum Gaming that saint archer ain't no joke

[@alejandroramirez4470]

did they really need him drinking throughout the interview? I saw they cut away to take the cans away and give him the bottle.

[@caseyaylward8853]

The Primitive encore video just came out. Hands down one of the best skate videos of all time. Every skater every trick was mind-blowing trick was mind-blowing

[@t1dal509]

Prod has such a good story. Keep doing these forever guys. Shit gives me shivers hearing the stories of how the pros came to be.

[@chilledtea6614]

GEORGE CARLIN book in background THUMBS UP

[@granthicks8969]

Get Arto Saari

[@jamespirtle9142]

ten thousand times agree

[@kevintanis7368]

He won’t remember enough to do an episode because all his head injuries lol

[@Patch_616]

Kevin Tanis for real. I don’t understand how that dude can even formulate sentences anymore.

[@ssJonson1]

That was Perfect seriously mad respect for Paul Rodriguez and the nine club

[@raccdaddyy368]

would love to see Chris Joslin

[@baylorite]

What a wise and humble person you've become, Paul. Great to have known you personally and watched you come up. Yours is a good example of what true success looks like.

[@mirafinch4412]

Loved hearing about Paul's time on Girl and 'eS. Also the fact the Koston 5 was intended to be Paul's shoe! always wondered about that info. Great episode, keep doin ya thang C-Rob!

[@adamgray5340]

Best one yet! I can't tell you guys how stoked I am to see a new video pop up on my feed and listen to it while I'm driving. I actually don't mind the traffic for once! I'd love to hear Appleyard, Mikey Taylor, Sheckler, Austyn Gillette, or Robert Brink.

[@thenineclub]

+Adam Gray rad!! Thanks for listening, please drive safe! -Crob

[@davidrichard6671]

Such a good show! Don't ever stop!

Finally monday mornings are something to look forward to.

+Edison Mfg Co that's a huge statement! We'll take it.! Hahaha -Crob

[@amyp792]

Prod is so smart! He knew this show had potential and could see where it was going! Love prod 🤙 love the nine club 🤙 and definitely chris Robert's 👌

[@felipe.cvl89]

P. Rod should got another videopart, for us fans, no doubt it will be awesome. Great show by the way man. shout out from BRASIL/ BRASAAAA!

[@thenineclub]

How are people liking the show down in Brazil? Do you think we need to add Portuguese subtitles to the show? - Roger

[@felipe.cvl89]

Hey, that would be awesome, english is still a barrier for a huge part of people here in Brazil, I got friends that watch it, but not all them because some can't understand, subtitles will help a lot people to understand whats going on and attract more people to the channel, no doubt.

[@studderboxx5488]

The Nine Club - get Reynolds on the show

[@negomaster7563]

this show has come so far

[@zunigafamzuniga7904]

I had to make natural high vids for school and the one I used to model mine was P-Rod’s. I will remember that vid of him for ever.

[@simonyadig]

Best episode yet, Paul is an awesome person. Great show, Crob and Rbag.

[@simonyadig]

My iconic Paul moment was his nollie flip intro in Yeah Right, just one of those images burned in my brain forever.

[@edisonmfgco7320]

you guys are killing it.

[@treyhill]

Great show guys! I have even more reverence for Paul now! RESPECT!

[@ERICF66]

When they were talking about Paul acting, how did they completely not mention or talk about STREET DREAMS????

[@owenlenetsky6549]

it’s best to pretend that movie never existed

[@ByrgenwerthDropout]

I absolutely love this show. Definitely my favourite channel, always looking forward to the next episode every Monday! I'd love to see interviews with Giovanni Reda and Jerry Hsu (I'm sure Crob could make that happen...)!

[@thenineclub]

Reda coming soon...and hopefully will get Jerry too now that he's done filming for MADE Chapter 2

[@NateGUYYY]

it would be better without that midddle dickhead ddue

[@sponger-qo9wf]

don’t judge a book by its cover. just watched the reda episode. i always thought he was a dick too just by his “in your face” personality. but i didn’t after the episode. and it wasn’t only because of the b.a. story.

[@drewslawson7429]

was not expecting much. the city stars in depth to breakdown of craft brewing and all the other business small talk. I got a whole new respect for PRod. Great episode with a ver unsuspectingly entertaining guest. big up to Crob And Rog .keep it the fuck up. don't sell out.

[@thenineclub]

+Drew Slawson cmon! It's the nine club, always expect much.!! Haha thanks -Crob

[@thenineclub]

+Steezy Clips thank you! -Crob

[@wilsonmichealwynn1]

the end of this video when they are talking about floating in infinity is beautiful. paul is Very philosophical.

[@BadConfectionery]

pretty seamless transition from talking about Devine to talking about a Primitive video seeing as some time ellapsed between (4:26, PROD finishes third can--4:28 sippin on a bottle)

[@caivsivlivs]

dam rog can't even bust out a st. arch for this interview

[@josiahamaze]

Always could tell Paul was praying under his hat. Always thought that was such a beautiful process.

[@stephat_]

primitive should film a video but no online. keep it hard copy.

[@adanrodriguez2124]

Yeah, have it on VHS and put it in two parts and put it in those old plastic cases.

[@CafeHueyLong]

Lmao Primitive would be the absolute last brand to do that. They'd sell it in target if they could.

[@Dr.MantisTobogganMD]

Nostalgia isn’t completely profitable.

[@steven4217]

I'm with that

[@stanpayne9614]

This was so good. Gotta catch up on all of these episodes. Always admired P-Rod since I was 12. This was a much needed sit down and insight into his life

[@circa54]

guys talked about some really good topics, never knew that Erics 5th shoe was supposed to be prods pro shoe. P rod might be the best person you've had on the show so far. keep up the good work chris and roger

One more part P-Rod! Drop 60 on em!!!

[@NathanKernn]

I would love to see mike carrol up in this thing

[@cheethoe]

Speaking of the number one thing in business, did you guys trademark or whatever "The Nine Club"? Or are you gonna have problems with SLS in the future? Awesome episode so far, still listening right now. I also love that you guys have kept this independent so that you can do it your way and not be pushed to interview people when they want to do some promo.

[@tylilbug88]

What a humble guy he is..

[@thenineclub]

+Tyler Tucker thank you!! Oh... you mean Paul. -Crob

[@Donny_filmz]

Please put out a part for a primitive full length! The whole video would be that much better!

[@c1rcama707]

[@thenineclub]

we had to blur a graphic in the background after the show was already uploaded

[@Dumb0009]

No courthouse reference though. Might need to double it up next episode.

Don't worry Chris will make up for it in future episodes. We might have to shoot an episode on the stage at the courthouse one day.

[@SkateHoarder]

To hear Prod say he would go into his next video part as his last... chilling. Then I go watch his "Never" part...wow!

[@jollygladwrap]

So after Paul came out with Me, Myself and I, did he start filming again with the other guys when they were filming for True? I've always wondered that.

[@robertorivera2696]

The Nine Club content is so good...Tell P Rod the fans just want another video.....you've proven yourself

Crazy good! Totally get p-rods skepticism on film project, kinda hard out-doing his older street footy. Could see him going the same route as Guy does tho.

[@mondo5495]

I agree!!

[@adamturner1563]
