[@cdoug4923]

Yeah he was one of the best guests.

[@vico805]

it’s a good one Steve seems like a cool guy/also love his son Alex both great skaters!

[@northwest676]

6 years and still the best episode

[@pdxraves]

Absolutely

[@MrAZHooligan]

5 years and this is still the most enjoyable interview I’ve ever seen.

[@michaelbolton7073]

5 years later and I still want the unedited version

[@vico805]

Yeah so true!

[@Will-hc4xv]

Best episode ever. Steve Olson is a national treasure.

[@chanceska]

Will.. he really is

[@CRASSsk8s]

ABSOLUTELY. Steve Olson and Skateboarding will Save Our Souls.🔥

[@meiphukingdiqq]

This is hands down THEEEEEEE BEST episode ever!!!!

[@david-ow8kr]

We need a Steve Olson Part 2, especially now that the episodes are way longer! He's a legend. He deserves it!

[@thomasrainbow]

Steve Olson is both Marlon Brando and Charles Bukowski on a skateboard. Legend!

[@BonelessBen]

chris finally met someone more sarcastic than him

[@johnfitzgerald1879]

Dude is the greatest. I just laughed, opened beers, listened and laughed more. Thanks Steve.

[@goobah1389]

Did u drink them?

[@ssbsts1239]

This dude needs his own show, I cud watch Steve talk all day long! Best dude ever!!!!

[@microchrist6122]

"kick flip 180 now kid" lol

[@otjunior]

I love it when you guys have a old school skater in here it's so cool to hear how skateboarding was back then

[@josephposey2249]

106 episodes and this is still my favorite. I’ve come back so many times and still laugh my ass off the entire episode.

[@supernewuser]

Damn such a great episode. His observation about Kelly looking like Andy Mac was fucking hilarious. I've never noticed it before but now that he's mentioned it I can't unsee it. Andy Mac was one of my favorite skaters growing up so I'm glad he briefly discussed how everyone would hate on Andy for being too good.

[@Donley479]

Dude I whole as thought he was Andy Mac the first couple clips I saw before I actually started watching the show 🤣🤣 so funny

[@ShogunateDaimyo]

I come back to this episode every so often....it's that classic.

[@humidddddd2247]

I love how organic this show is, never change!

[@juvenromero3715]

Damn, got a fucking legend on deck. Steve Olson always has crazy stories. We need a Gonz episode!

[@daveweinstein6434]

You have to do a part 2 with Olson. Good episode.

[@BlackBassString]

I was thinking about this show today morning and as Marc Johnson said, why it feels co great to watch you guys talking and why it stands out so much? And i think that two smaller things are that, one - this show feel comfy as fuck, i mean, the pace of the talk is perfect, you can just sit down, listen to it and just relax. Other thing is how aestheticaly good the room you are talking in is looking, the boards, all those little items on shelves even this fucking little screen with switch flip switch manny is fitting perfect! Apart from this, I think the biggest advantage is that after 5-10 minutes you are feeling like sitting with friends in a bar on a friday night, sipping beers and listening to their stories and having good time This show is something really unique in terms of quality and feeling, keep it up guys!

[@infinidominion]

and everybody on it are legends

[@G_BLASTER]

What a fucking legend. I could listen to this guy talk forever.

[@rileyshaw3807]

Favorite one so far! Steve does not give a shit, this is what skateboarding needs more of.

[@pjchmiel]

Still my favorite episode, have watched or listened to it many times and I never knew about Steve Olson before this came out.

[@masonmcconnell9375]

Let's get a Steve Olson episode again.

[@johncarroll1271]

best greatest ending ever! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ripsbongs]

I remember painting a blank shop board with checkers when I was 10 because I liked his Santa Cruz board. Except I did it with a paintbrush, house paint and the artistic grace of a 10 y/o so it ended up looking like my board got chicken pox. Park locals made sure I knew that.

[@BattleBornBrandon]

Great fucking interview!! I love Steve Olson's personality.. shout out to the nine club! oi oi!

[@bobbyhill8918]

Wish this went on for another hour! Olsen's funny as hell.

[@sipeplow7769]

Ballin' tears over here. GOLD!

[@michaelswanson6677]

This was the most laughing, so good. When you watch this, you have to laugh too😅 I hope to God Andy Mac watches this episode!!

[@iamkool12342]

This show is the only thing that ever makes me look forward to mondays

[@LBOTrecords]

This deserves a second part. Great episode.

[@cbshaw]

Well done, Nine Club! More old school legends, please!!

[@IAMBECOMING]

This was the greatest episode yet! Fucking hilarious.

[@MrFreeman516]

One of the best ones yet! And Kelly does look like Andy Mac haha

[@kwote]

Funniest guest yet. You have to bring Steve back!

[@justinw947]

i think hes gotta be the coolest dude in skateboarding hands down

[@DaCocoNutMan]

Steve Olson fucking rules and funny as fuck! I was introduced to him in his son's Epicly Later'd when I first got into skateboarding. It showed on MTV one time I guess to promote it. I was 11 years old, being like "What the heck am I watching?" Especially when Patrick O'Dell interviewed the both of them. Now, being older and (still) learning more about skateboard history I have an appreciation/respect for Steve Olson and many of the other older generation of skateboarders who paved the way for the younger generation. So tip your hat/raise your glass and respect your elders.

[@jewelcitytrash11]

One of the greatest episodes ever

[@bullred9498]

Steve Olson! I love this podcast

[@wholibah]

10 mins in and already the best episode

[@Steezo_Romero]

Steve's got one of the sickest laybacks! This episode was funny as shit too. When he breaks into his lisps and starts talking mad shit. I was dying!!

[@blastgordon]

awesome episode ... please get him back for another one

[@DavidCampillofoto]

Something different from every single show, I really enjoyed that one, combining different generations in a perfect mix

[@thenamesphinkle1509]

Like father like son they sound so much alike

[@AdamBrad1ey]

Even the covering mouth thing

[@doekebekius1271]

Great episode!! Mark Gonzales should be on here too!

[@CRASSsk8s]

Steve Olson. Magnificent.

[@NathFilms]

Kelly has to wear a yellow helmet next episode

[@stewietk]

didn't skate in the era but Steve Olson is an OG an I got much respect for that man, fuckn siick episode. the best this far. haven't laughed that good in a bit

[@210corona]

I wish my ruca looked at me the way Raj looks at Steve

[@kevinalamo4250]

It reminds me of in Step Brothers when Dale's dad meets Brennan's brother, Derek

[@randomschittz9461]

I love Olson. He’s hilarious.

[@88katanas]

" Yo...do you wanna come film me do this line at the skatepark? ... ... you don't?"

[@northwest676]

7 years later and still the best episode

[@MrSimondaniel3]

this episode made me laugh out loud 3 times & its not even finished yet.

[@sammeehan4323]

[@TIGERGUTS]

[@ItsVinnieHager]

[@Coleskatemane]

[@519skate]

[@isaacroussel2034]

I never comment on anything, I had to figure out how to do it cause i just had yo say that this is just the best fucking thing ever. You guys are making skateboarders happy everwhere. kept it on with the show. I think I'll donate you guys some money cause you're bringing happiness and entertainment to my life.

[@PotatoPlop]

[@ShreddieMercury]

Seriously the best episode you have done

[@okcboomer87]

That was way better than expected. Sweet episode. Ill be waiting for next mondays show!

[@sethprice2248]

I stumbled across the 9 club two mouths ago. What a blessing. Your show has re-sparked the flame in me to get back on the board and shred. Skaters regardless of color, creed or location are a strangely unstoppable Harmonious group who all seem to get along. We see the world with different a view. Thank you so much. I do a lot of driving and the 9 club makes my day to day drives, well, pleasurable. I look forward to the next interview. Your the best! Seth

[@chanceska]

Seth Price yes! I listen while driving too

[@Loutorchio]

raddest episode

[@DomDukes99]

I clicked on this thinking this ain’t Steve Olson who was on shortys😂 but but this is sick at to see an OG OG skater on here that I didn’t know about

[@CRASSsk8s]

The original Steve Olson is godhead.🛹

[@roundtwostore4650]

We love The Nine Club!

[@BoHansen1]

Nine club ALL DAY 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@FlippinMatt]

This guy is AWESOME!

[@skateandestroy225]

no matter how interesting the show is, I subconsciously can't stop staring at Chris Roberts's switch flip manual in the background. Chris Roberts is washing my brain with his skills!!!

[@clauderegnier364]

Olson was awesome as always!!! Great show guys...

[@jimpatch98]

Just want to say hey to the dude who made me my first board (Olson). He was friends with my best friends older brother & they needed a project to work on in wood shop, like he was saying. I think they were in jr. high at Los Al, about 73'-74. Anyway, it was a laminate wood with clay wheels. It did have a tail btw! Moved to the bay area a few years later , and then saw him in Skateboarder Mag. Pretty cool. Sure wish I had that stick.

[@loosenut2669]

Never thought this day would come
