Dad, I know you're pissed, but it's really not that big of a deal. Are you kidding me? Getting arrested and going to jail for vandalism isn't a big deal to you? It's not like I was trying to rob the building. I just wanted to skate the rail. It's private property, for Christ's sakes. First you're feeling out of school, now you're getting arrested. Don't you realize you're throwing your life away?

I'm not throwing anything away. Yes, you are! And for what? So you can skate bro with your little friends? God damn it. This is fucking ridiculous. What's ridiculous? I'm doing something I'm good at or I'm not doing what you want me to do. This isn't about me. It's about your future.

No, it isn't. I'm sorry. I'm going to be a fucking baseball player like you wanted me to be and have the life that you threw away. I didn't throw anything away. I took responsibility. Something you know nothing about. What do you know? Look at you. You fucking hate your job. You hate mom. You hate me for being born. And most of all, you fucking hate yourself. But you fucking don't do that way. I can't know. Everybody welcome back to another episode of THR Presents Stream Feens. I'm your host, Bron, and with me as always is the E-society skate god himself. My brother Nez, what's up, man?

I'm good, man. I'm still out there, everyone, even though I'm way overweight and all that, but I'm still doing it. I've been riding since I was nine, and I'm almost 50 in that couple months. I'm still out there. Can't do all the shit I used to do when I was light, but I had. I'm still out there. That's what counts, man. I'm still out there pushing.

Always trying to look for that that ultimate line and just pure speed whenever I can. It's an expensive game we're playing. It ain't a sport, no matter what anyone tells you. Skateboarding is a way of life. You do it.

Once you begin, you do it to the end. So that's a you true repatripping. out there know what I'm talking about all these other guys that come into it and then just quit now you're in for the long haul so when it's time for me to lay in a box make sure my skateboard's with me so I can keep on ripping but oh man this is a film that I never even heard of where did you find this one I remember when a movie we're talking about everybody's 2009 street dreams I I had first heard about it when Rob Deer Dick had that show, a fantasy factory. And he, one of the episodes, they were doing like a screening at the factory.

He like set up like a basically indoor theater. And I just thought it was a cool idea. You know, it was a movie for skateboarders made by skateboarders. And there's a few people I recognize that are in the movie. And, um, Yeah, just always always wanted to see it and then one day I just seen it pop up on Amazon Prime and I was like, you know, what better time than now? If you guys don't have Amazon, it's on YouTube. So I was watching it. I watched it on there. Well, I watched it twice.

Well, I watched it like all the way through twice and then I listened to it as I was working. man, street dreams. You were just given a second chance there. You're going to start taking life a little more seriously. I just don't understand. Your grades, your absences, all seem to suggest that you have no interest in graduating. Go, go, go! We try to encourage him at home, but there seems to be interested in other things.

I saw you trying something crazy over there. What was that? 360-foot crooked grind down a handrail. You're living in a fantasy land. We'll live, man. If you can give me a tape with that on it, I can pretty much guarantee you a spot on the team. No problem. We're cutting the knobs off the university, rail. I need you guys to help.

You've been riding my hotel since day one. Because all I see is a kid that takes rides in my van and moves off of my board hookup. First you're failing out of school. Now you're getting arrested. Don't you realize that you're throwing your life away? I'm not throwing anything away. Yes, you are! this was an awesome film.

I didn't know nothing about it. I didn't read into it. I didn't watch no trailers or nothing. All I knew was who was in it. This is the new generation of skaters. I mean, everybody knows Rob Deerdeck because of the MTV stuff, ridiculousness.

Robin Big, big, rest in peace. Has cameo in this movie? Yeah, I mean, I figured he would have been in it more, but he was in it for, like, second, but it's all good. That was drama, wasn't it? His cousin? Yeah, showing his

ass. Yeah. This was, according to when they were on Fantasy Factory, this was, I think, drama was 16, 17 years old when they filmed the movie. Okay. Showed his ass.

Hairy ass. I know. I was like, it's a damn. But, I mean, this, it was a cool story. I liked what was happening before we dive into it. Run through synopsis. Okay.

Let's go with Google. Google actually has a short to the point one. Up and coming skater runs off to compete in a competition where he could become the next star. Okay. RMDB,

the story based the story is based where skateboard culture is the most foreign, the Midwest. Derek Cabrera, like all skaters, sorry, damn, this is a lengthy one. Yeah, it is.

Like all skaters, has a dream of being sponsored and one day going pro. He is an up-and-coming skater with all the talent, but has the world against him. Parents, friends, and schoolmates can't understand how Derek has so much passion for something he has no future. has no future in his eye in their eyes i ain't going to read this whole thing this is going

this is the whole damn movie here yeah it is it was it was written by a rob dear dick so okay that's pretty much yeah you that's the whole summary the whole movie in one paragraph uh the star is of course the rob dear dick paul rodriguez ryan dunn terry kennedy shout out the fly society ryan sheckler adam white which his I and D.B. picture where he looks old as shit now. Brendan Miller,

C.C. Sheffield, Jordan and Valichich, Yancey, Eris, and so on. Like we said, cameos. I'm sure there's probably some skate cameos that you recognize that I

don't recognize, but there was cameos by a big, Black Boykins, uh, drama, Christopher Drama Path. And, uh,

did you ever see anybody else in there? Um, I'm not too hip on the, on these new rippers. Oh, uh, that are out there.

I mean, the only one that I caught was, uh, Carl Watson. He was, um, that they have him as the roster guy that answers the door when,

um, Ryan Dunn was getting, uh, the, the coffee cream. stuff. Is that petulia smell? Can you do that?

Is coffee creamer flammable? I didn't know until watching this movie. I was trying to figure out what he was doing with all the creamer. And then he was dumping it off the second floor of the hotel they were at. And then it just ignited. And I was very confused. What the fuck just happened? His buddy was at the bottom.

what was his name? I think his name was Terry or Reese, but he's Terry Kennedy in the film. Or his real name is Terry Kennedy. He's a real skateboarder. He was Reese. He was the black guy. He was down the bottom with a lighter or something.

And then Ryan Dunn, Crash or Cash was his name. He was dumping that stuff off the energy. Boys and girls don't try that, Especially young boys, don't try that shit. You'll burn your house down. I'm sure somebody did. Yeah,

I mean, I don't know what's in Kramer and I don't drink coffee. So I don't know. Whatever's in is flammable. So watch your cigarettes when you're dumping that in your coffee. But as far as the skateboarders, all of them, the main guys,

Paul Rodriguez, Rob Deardek, Terry Kennedy, Ryan Shekler and there was a bunch of other dudes that were in it just were out there skating and a lot of just extras a lot of rippers that came to the park

I guess that skate park they used in Ohio that was the park that Rob Deerick paid for and designed there was a little faulty on one of the designs because they were going down doing tricks down one of those rails

and the landing wasn't very much because then you just rolled right into the grass. I was like, man, who designed that part? But anyway, it's just what I caught. But this movie, I mean, I thought it was good. Rob Deerdick, everyone knows

who he is. Paul Rodriguez, I mainly know his dad, the comedian Paul Rodriguez. So, and he looks just like him, a younger version of him. So it's cool. I had I remember when I first found out

that his son was a skateboarder And I was like, oh, cool. So I watched his earlier videos. And he's a dad now. So I think he's got a daughter. And just watching him come up in the skate game. I thought that was cool. And I thought he did a really good job in this.

I don't know if this was this very first time acting. But it was, the acting wasn't the greatest in this. But, I mean, they're skateboarders. They're not actors. So, I mean, you can, you can. look the other way with it. As Rob Deerick said, this was a movie

written and made for skaters by skaters, which was cool. So I thought that was awesome. I actually, I think Rob did a fucking great job in a movie because I was just telling my wife for somebody that's so likable

that you see on TV all the time. He played a fucking asshole in this movie throughout majority of the movie. Yeah, man. I was like, okay, it was good that he wasn't the main star.

Mm-hmm. Because, yes, he was one of the writers, Rob Deirdick, Elisa Delson, and Nino Sicala or whatever. Those three wrote the story for this. I mean,

it was Rob Deardke's idea and story, but he needed someone to actually turn his story into a screenplay. So he got one of his friends and they got another friend and they said, all right, let's do this. And they did it.

From what I understand, he was shopping it around, but nobody really wanted it. They were like, nah, there's too much cussing in this. I mean, you got a bunch of nobody's in it.

I'm sure he was trying to sell it as just as a movie, but to the regular Hollywood people or whoever are the ones of Greenlight's movies and puts them out. they don't know any of these people as far as the skateboarders. And because I'm sure Rob did, they say, man, there's a big audience for this. There's millions and millions of skaters out there that will come watch it. And let's just do it. But they're like, eh, it was too big of a risk for them to go, all right, we'll do it.

So, but I, he said he, they took it on tour. They went and did it all. over different kinds of places, but just nobody went and seen it. Yeah, the skateboarders all went out and saw it, but it just didn't make any kind of an impact as far as box office.

So, I was like, I mean, that would suck because he was telling a story about it. He goes, yeah, I put in like over a million dollars of his own money. And, I mean, that's dedication for your, to make a film. like that. A big production.

I mean, it wasn't just him and his friends in a camera. I mean, this was an actual movie movie where they had probably multiple cameras, especially dealing with the skateboarding. You got to do that one trick over and over and over again with multiple shots. And as well as adding the music, because the only two songs in this that I recognized in it that were pretty, I guess, hits was that one Lincoln Park

in the beginning. I don't know all Lincoln Park songs, but there was one of theirs in the beginning, and I'm sure that probably cost some money unless Rob knows them

and they just said, yeah, use it. Eric B. and Rockin. Rock Kim, Don't sweat the technique. Those are the only two songs that I knew that were in this. And there was some other ones,

but I don't know who those artists were. Yeah, they had a couple songs by Nause. And there was, There was some recognizable music in there. Yeah, so I'm sure if they didn't let him use it, maybe I'm sure you had to pay them to put their music in his film. The thing that I liked at the very beginning, right before we actually see anything, it says there are 13 million skateboarders in the United States alone.

10 million identify themselves as street skaters. This is their story. I thought that was a good little summary kind of right from the beginning of what the skate culture is I mean skate culture to me is has changed throughout the years

I started skating in the late 70s and well I got my first time I got on a board was in the late 70s my brother had a skateboard but I actually really got like dedicated diehard into it in 1980 when I was nine. So I didn't know it was going to be what it was. Yes, we had the skateboarders of the 70s and everything.

And we didn't just before we dove into all the Bones Brigade and all of them in the 80s. But I mean, skateboarding was always there. Me growing up in Oakland and us living on a hill. Butboarding and all that didn't think that this was going to be a big part of my life and it still is today I ride my skateboard pretty much every single day unless it's rain and snowing But I mean even if it's just from my truck to To the to the airport terminal where I work I mean that that's skateboarding man I'm on there and I ride around even if I get a break at work

Not doing tricks or anything I'm just rolling around and everything, but I mean, that to me, that's skateboarding. I mean, doesn't matter, doesn't matter what you ride, it's that you ride. And that, that's what I, that's what I mean when, when you talk about skate culture. Just, especially now from what these, these cats are out there, these guys and gals that are out there doing it, man. It's there and they were nobody was doing the tricks that they do now, back when I was out there doing my thing when I was young. Yeah, we had kickflips and we had impossibles and everything, but a lot of it was just not doing all this crazy big things. Nobody was going this big unless you were riding half pipes or pools or anything.

Nobody was going this big. I mean, going big to us was trying to allie down a huge set of stairs or landing that and then trying kick flips down it. But then all these different flip tricks and then guys started doing rails. and everything in it and just the crazy combos from flipping tricks to grinds to just nose pivots and manuals and everything

somebody probably don't even know how I'm talking about but it's just it's changed so much it's raining I think it is sorry

luckily I skated already but I from 70's skateboarding for just skinny little boards, clay wheels, or the urethane wheels that came later. But it's just changed so much. From a little skinny-ass skateboard to the big giant skateboard we had in the 80s now to the little narrow ones that are the guys that are right now. That all the boards is, I mean, 80s was all different kinds of shapes.

Now everybody's board is the exact same shape, either it's wider or thinner or lower. longer or shorter, but it's still that same shape the way it is. And when we were out there, man, we only had tails. There was no no flipped up noses, no concave. These were flat skateboards. And we were out there doing it. I mean, I ride one now I hooked up a cruiser board that I ride around that's flat as a board. But, I mean, that's, I had to get used to that again because I was so used to the skateboards in this one.

But in this film, it spoke to me not just as a skateboarder. It spoke to me as what this young character or what this Paul Rodriguez, Derek Cabrera was his name. What he was going through in his life. Because this is just a basic story of this guy I love skateboarding, hangs out with his buddies. and one of them is sponsored and he wants to be sponsored. That was something that was with us. I mean, if not all of us,

maybe one of us would be sponsored by anything. None of us ever did. I'm not saying I'm sponsored by them, but I get flow to some free trucks when I'm around them. But they, to me, that's a sponsor. I've been riding for Avenue. trucks for the past couple years.

And I haven't paid for skateboard trucks for the last four years. So, I mean, in my eyes, I would say that they sponsored me for riding trucks. They needed fat, heavy riders to test out these skateboard trucks. But anyway, but what, so Derek Cabrero was just coming up. He was still at home. He was a high school kid, living with his mom and dad. and just skating and having a good time. He had his girlfriend,

just how he was living his life was skateboarding was the number one thing. And watching this, I was like, damn, that's how I was. I mean, yes, I went to school and I still lived at home.

Yeah. I wouldn't really say had girlfriends. Let's just say I had friends. But not doing good in school. because all he was thinking about was skateboarding. All he was thinking about was landing that big trick. And that's how we all were. We were always trying something new.

We wanted to land this one trick. And we eventually did land them. But going to school every day and just not even giving a fuck about school and anything else. Just pure skateboarding. And that's all we thought about. And then the girls come in. Kind of slow rolls for a little bit. But because it starts out with just these guys out there just having a good time skateboarding.

I mean, everyone, just whole crew, Derek and his crew, everyone just ripping it up. I don't know if they were at a school or wherever they were. The cops show up. And that's what put a big smile on my face because soon as a cop shows up, someone just yells out, pigs, 50, one time. Whatever you guys call the cops today. it was pigs in one time when I was out there doing it and everybody just fucking took off I was just like yeah I mean that it was it's just bring me back to I'm I don't run from cops now I'll just too fat to run I'll just take the ticket if I get busted but I mean

that it was cool because everyone just just jetted and everyone was running for the fence and climbing over and Ryan Dunn said it best man Because when one of the guys, I believe it was Mickey, the guy that was the camera guy. Man, why'd you guys wait for me? And Ryan Dunn Cash, he was like, hey, man, everyone's for everyone for themselves when the cops show up. And that's true, man, because as soon as you, someone yells cops, everyone just, every direction takes off. And if you get caught, I mean, that's on you. Mikey was a good dude, though.

he even had time to pick up what's his name shoe Terry Kennedy's shoe that he lost running He's like here you forgot this I mean that that was cool I mean that was a good opening other than just watching these guys rip This this cool spot I always say this when I talk about skateboarding you young guys and gals today You guys don't know how lucky you guys have it

we didn't have skate parks when we were growing up. There's like skateboard parks on fucking every corner and every little town, every little city in the planet, even in other parts of the world. I mean, skateboarding is that big. I know there was time in the 80s when they were saying it kind of died out. I never thought so because I always had a skateboard and I was still able to do it whenever I could. So it never really died out to me

But I wasn't in that lifestyle of being in the spotlight for riding a skateboard So I can understand when the pros were saying that skateboard died out Much less being a skateboard company In those dark times of skateboarding But yeah so after all that and everyone we meet Derek and his crew Cash Troy Reese and Mikey Troy Rob Deeradette I mean, he's awesome.

I do watch his ridiculous and whatever that new show he's got going on. Every crew has that dick, that hater. No matter what, but you guys have been friends so long, you just deal with him. I won't say who that is that was in my crew, and we've gotten to many fist fights, but we're still boys. Everybody has a Troy. Yeah. I still got that love for my brother, man. We've been there through thick and thin, just duped it out.

I don't know how many times, but we always still friends today. Yeah, this Troy, though, is a little, I, me speak just the way I grew up, because there's a scene in a movie where he's supposed to be lookout, and he purposely lets them get arrested. See. Where I grew up, that's, that's the equivalent of snitching, right? There that's they're, we're not shaking hands and.

Yeah. I mean, we, we all, I mean, this, at points in this movie, it was like,

man, someone was following us around the camera and stealing everything that happened to us because that, exactly that scene. That's what happened. One, one of my boys, the other one that's,

I don't know if he listens to the show, but if he is, he knows who, he knows what I'm talking about. But I was like, damn. I mean, I mean,

that's, That's, it was just pure haters. That's it. There was no way around it. I mean, even there was another character and a Brad, the little jog boy that used to skateboard with him, but now he thought he was too cool.

He ain't no real skater. No, hell no, he ain't. You talk about how I grew up. I was like, shut the fuck out. See, that was a motherfucker. We beat up all the time. But yeah, so Derek, he's just doing his skateboarding,

having fun of his friends still at home goes to school not giving a fuck he's got a girlfriend and she's a cheerleader Derek Cabrero he he's Mexican and his girlfriend's blonde white cheerleader and she

wants to pull him into this different lifestyle right there with that with Derek and his girlfriend I think her name was Samantha played by Jordan Valorich I think that's a

Valor something whatever yeah again I had friends I didn't have girlfriends I didn't have time for girlfriends I mean I was too busy

skating and living life but there was one of my friends that I was kind of messing around with she she that's why I was like damn man someone stole my whole story

but it was like this I was in a situation of this yeah for those of the news of the show I'm Native American and dark skin long hair. Metal head skateboarder. And she was, this is how we always did it. I lived down in the flatlands of Oakland. She lived up in the hills of Oakland.

And up in the hills was the more the rich kids and the little hood kids were down here where I lived. And some people might have said, oh, she was just slumming it with a little dark skinned boy down in the flat. I didn't care, man. I didn't see skin color or anything, man. She was cool when I met her and then, yeah, anyway. But yeah, his girlfriend was, she was cheerleaders, just about the party. And then there was this other guy, Brad, that used to want to, they used to skate with them, but then he just grew up, quote, unquote, and became this rich boy asshole because he was having a party.

and speaking of Brad he was um a young uh bison and uh tree fighter the legend of Chun Lee I had to go back I was reading what because I looked at him and I'm like where have I seen this guy

so I looked at up and I went ah I hate this kid even more now but anyway um So yeah, they went to some party And he didn't want to go But she was like I want you there

I want you there He gets there's girlfriend's already drunk And again I went through the same situation Yeah come to this party and I get there Well I didn't roll in her by myself I always rolled deep with my crew Now some my friends that I was came with all the time Didn't go to same school I went to

So We'd go up into the hills to some rich kids house And I was nothing but Brad's in there Just fucking And we, the thing it was, they used to be cool when we were younger, but then as they got older and the girls came along and then they have cars and they want to be cool. And it's like they didn't even want to be friends with me anymore.

So I was like, well, you guys want a true friend to begin with. So, but yeah, Brad, clearly you can see he was trying to get on Samantha. And Derek knew, but I don't think really, Derek really cared. but his girlfriend was just all about the party. She was all fucking drunk already there. I was always wondering when we went to these parties, where everyone got the kegs from? All teenagers.

Yeah, well, when there's a bunch of brads, there's a certain kind of privilege that comes with that. But not every party, was bad. I mean, I had been to plenty ragers and had a good time with a lot of guys up in the hills. But this Brad dude, man, I just didn't even like his face, the

way he looked. Who knows? Maybe this guy is, this, uh, Brendan Miller is a cool cat, but he played the asshole jock rich boy in, in this movie. So I'm glad he wasn't in it very long, but Derek just

got fed of them. I mean, fuck this. I mean, this ain't my scene. You're a drunk bitch. I'm out of here. So he, but she And I like the way he handle it too, especially. And I've known girls like this because they, they see each other again at school.

And in her mind, that never happened. And he's just kind of looking at her like, I'm not breaking up with you because I already broke up with you. It's over. This is not working. They didn't break up at the party. They broke up at that barbecue or whatever.

Oh, when, when her dad called him what do you call him? Immigrant. Yeah. I mean, again, I went through that. So that's what I was like, God damn, man.

In the film, Derek goes to this barbecue what's going on at Samantha's house. Her whole family's there, dad, everybody. And Brad. Yeah, and Brad.

He's there. And the dad don't give a fuck. His name is Dan Reynolds, played by Peter Reck. Raquel or I think that's his name. But she's like, yeah, you should come to party. My dad's got a surprise for you. And Paul, Derek's like, all right.

So he shows up and sees Brad there. And her dad comes over. Yeah, Brad's here. He's a cool guy. Whatever, whatever. Then he comes over. Her dad starts talking to Derek. Hey, man.

He goes, just after you graduate, man, I can hook you up with a job wherever he works. He goes, we'll start you off in the mail room. And then Derek's kind of like, uh, I don't know if I really see myself being in the mail room. And then when his dad, the true colors came out. And he goes, well, if you don't like that, we can put you in the warehouse with the other immigrants. Ooh. It wasn't said to me that way, but that's the way it was said to me.

Her dad knew I was native. And that's when they just not in these words. Only good Indian is a dead Indian. He didn't say those exact words, but that's what he meant. when he said it to me. And I was like, really, all right. Was I, did I really? I thought she was cool in the beginning.

And then it just came down to a messing around type of thing. And then I just got sick of her. I wouldn't say we broke up because we were never really together. It was more of just, hey, a hookup whenever we could. But anyway. Yeah, friends with benefits. Yeah. So Derek was like, you know what?

man, fuck that. And then his dad was, he was like, man, fuck you. I'm out of here. So he was getting relieved and Samantha goes, no, I want you to stay. And he goes, no, you're fucking dad's a racist. And he's like, now he's not. He goes, well, do you think you're too good and all this? And he was like, just fuck you, bitch, I'm out of here.

He didn't say those words, but that, that's what he was saying. Because she was, she seemed like she was drunk already at her family party. Mm-hmm. And she was like, well, you don't need we get out of here. You're a loser. Go fucking. with your friends or whatever. So he was like,

pull your pants up. I know, man. I was a fucking bitch. Sorry, girls, but that would have been the young me. I'm too old for all that now. But then that was a thing,

though. I mean, that's why this movie spoke to me. I was like, God damn, man. I went through shit like this, multiple times with the parents.

and I don't know anyway so he's just like all right man whatever but um they uh who is it um Troy Rob Deirder

he was going to be in a a skate contest that was going on in Tampa but um he was bringing his whole crew with him but Derek was trying this this trick uh that he wanted to do because he wanted to go down to that to that amateur contest as well

and try to enter. But if he figured if he landed this trick, this big trick, he was thinking of... Yeah, the knack. Yeah, maybe it would... Not a chance. Oh, maybe it would

help him get sponsored. Because he was looking for that big trick. I mean, there was the skate companies that were interested in him, because he was trying to put this sponsor me video together. So his big trick was

a tray flip, crooked grind down this rail. Some of you probably don't know what I'm talking about. Basically, kick the board 360 and it flips to land on the very front truck. And on just the front and kind of like a combo of the truck touching the rail and your nose of the skateboard and slide down and then just landing. Just type in YouTube.

You guys interested in one. I'm just 360 crooked grind. That's what it is. or watch street dreams. It's on YouTube. And you can see what he was trying to do. So that's what he was trying to do. They found a rail that they all wanted to do.

So they're like, hey, man, let's go here and we'll do it. So they go there one night and they find out that the rail has these little skateboard stoppers. Basically, someone just welded on some nuts, not nuts, but those like bolt screw heads or whatever onto the, onto the rail and there's a lot of things you can do to things to prevent skaters from skating it but these guys I mean they were all about it and it was obviously a perfect rail for them to do so they Derek came over the idea you know what let's go back and we're going to cut those those little knobs off and then we're going to get that rail so but I mean in between all the the acting and everything there was there was a lot of

lot of good skateboarding, uh, of them just out there doing tricks, mainly Rob and and Derek and whoever else was around as well as, uh, Reese, uh, the young black gentleman that was with him. Yeah, uh, Ryan Dunn just occasionally carried a skateboard around. Yeah, Ryan Dunn was the, uh, uh, um, what do you call him? This is comedic relief. Yeah, like the comic relief, which I always figured that I was, I don't know why. Maybe it's just because him being.

and close friends with band margera i always figured that he at least knew how to ride a skateboard but i didn't see him not once step on a skateboard no all he did did he was there but he all he did was party and drink and uh when the cop showed him he just ran um because it because it looked like the one kid learned enough to at least ride it the one i played mike yeah i mean he didn't do no tricks but at least you know he looked capable of going forward on which is a lot more than i could do so uh yeah ryan dunn's character cash i mean again that's what i liked about this movie everyone's got a cash in their crew as well everyone's got a troll asshole troy and everyone's got a hell of funny and uh keep everyone together cash i mean because it Ryan done to me he stole this whole movie every scene he

had and he was in this lot. It sucks that he's no longer with us. I met Ryan Dunn once at a Comic Con for the Jackass 3D party and he was fucking cool. He was so cool. We sat there and bullshitted fucking ate burgers and powered a couple of beers and laughed around.

Just that little time that I got to share with him, I just thought he was an awesome guy. It sucked on how he passed in a car accident. but man he's going to be missed um and watching this film with him in it i was like damn man i just it sucks man i mean we all got to go at some point but it was it was just it was just sad when i when i found out that that he had passed but yeah man he was fucking hilarious everything he said it was always something raunchy and just that was my other buddy man he

was like exactly like him. Oh, he's did crazy as shit. Made us laugh all the time. And I know he's living in San Francisco somewhere, but he's, you don't skate anymore. But he, he was, he was our cash, man. But, so, so they go back. They try to cut the, the knobs off with, I don't know, like a sand grinder or something. To cut those bolts off.

But they were like, all right, Troy, you're going to be. over there across the street in the parking lot and if you see the cops call Reese, Reese will come over and tell us, we'll turn off the lights and hide if the cops show up. So Derek and Mikey, Mikey is the one that

brought the little grinder thing. So Derek's the one starting to cut it and they're kind of worried that it's kind of loud but they're like, ah, Reese and Troy said they couldn't hear it, so they were all good. But then they didn't, I don't know why they didn't notice

this but there was a security camera pointing down right onto them to where they were and uh Troy Troy's sitting there in the car and here comes the police car Troy pulls out his phone he looks at it and this fuck that I mean earlier also I mean go back really quick earlier in the film Troy and Derek kind of got into it because there's they were dude they were just trying to do tricks scape or But, I mean, you got that Troy that's just, he was the one that was sponsored. He was considered the best out of their crew. And Derek was just trying to, trying to get his and come up.

And Troy was hating that Derek is getting better. I mean, just skateboarding, man. It's, it's not a contest. But to, I mean, yeah, to us. And it got a little competition Got into little competitions every now and then But um Troy was just like

Just being that asshole like man You'll never make that trick you're trying And you're never gonna be anything I mean it's It was sad and it sucked and it made me mad But yeah man I heard that shit too With my buddy but I mean Troy was another level

of just he was willing to let his boys go down by the cops then and then try to help I was like damn because it when the cops were rolling by Troy had his phone out getting ready to call text them and he just turned his phone off and set it down and then the cops came up Reese saw him then

and he was like man don't stop don't stop and then they stopped and Reese I don't know why he ran out in front of the cops he should have ran the other direction but he was going to go tell his boys that the cops were coming. So the cops, he's like, I got cops, cops. And they're like, I don't know why they just didn't drop everything and run, but I understood Mikey.

It was actually his uncle's equipment. And he was like, I can't leave it here. My uncle kill me. Yeah, it was a generator, lights and tools and just like the whole, I could see him not wanting to leave his uncle's equipment. Yeah, so they get busted. The cops like, don't run. I mean, they didn't even try to run.

They were like, I mean, Derek was a cool kid. He wasn't just going to let Mikey go down by himself. So I was like, all right, man, I'll stay here. And the cops took him. But, okay, let me go back a little bit more. I jumped at the gun. Earlier in the film, when we were talking about that Derek was just fucking up in school, his parents found out he had missed like seven days of school this school year.

And they were just trying to come on, man, you got to go to school. And his counselors were like, I know, I know you can do the work. And I know you're smart. You just got to put yourself more into your schoolwork and leave skateboarding. Or not leave it, but just kind of set it aside for a while and concentrate on the schoolwork. Mom and dad were the same way. Come on. You're throwing your life away.

Why don't you just finish school so you can go to college and all that? I mean, the stuff that every parent has said, I've said it to my kids as well. But, and he was just, he was all about skateboarding. And again, that was me. I did, I did well enough to graduate. And I mean, did I do my best? No. Am I blaming skateboarding?

No, I can't blame skateboarding. It was my choice. I mean, life is full of choices. And I chose to skateboard and run around, be stupid. then really concentrate on my schoolwork. But I got to give a shout out to my buddy Terry. He was in 10th grade and I was a senior. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have graduated.

He was my little skateboard buddy. He'd go, come on, let's go skate. And I said, I got to do this schoolwork. And he would sit down and just fucking, if he didn't give me the answers, he would just, okay, do it like this, do it like this. He helped me through my whole senior year. And that little motherfucker, I give him all the credit. it for him helping me pass my senior year.

So Terry, brother, if you're listening, I love you, man. I don't know if you're still skating, but anyway. So he was battling that. And his mom and dad, or mainly his dad, was just on his case all the time. So back, the cops got him. They got Derek. They got Mikey. I don't know if they went to jail.

Did they just go to, like, security? There was, I think it was one of those, like, little. police little kind of like we have a we have a bunch here they're like little little kind of offices or whatever I thought they were like on a college

campus or something and this was yeah they usually they usually have like like there's a mall here where there's like it says the police department but it's just like a little office that they have access to and I think it was kind of like that Yeah, I figured it was that because they just confiscated all their stuff and told them said, look, man, you're not going to get this back for like until like a month or something

like that. So, Mike, you're like, well, all right, I'll get yelled at. At least I get it back. But Derek's dad came and the cops told and said, yeah, man, they were out there after vandalizing the rail. And this is why he goes, well, I'm not going to press any charges. not too much damage was done. I don't even think he got that first little nut off.

I think he just started and that's when the cops showed up. So they just let him go to his dad. So as he's driving home, he drops off Mikey, get out and tell your friends. You can't see them for a while. But when Derek gets home, this is when his dad really,

really dives into him. I can understand on how Derek felt. And as a father, I can understand his his side of it. Yeah, because in this little, this little argument, it's, it's not long,

this whole scene, but you get a lot out of it. I mean, he's coming at his dad, basically, he was like, you don't even like mom. And you're,

you're upset at me because I didn't become a baseball player. And you try to become one and you failed at it. And it's like a lot of stuff gets dropped here within these, like, Three minute, three minute scene. I don't even think it was that. It seemed, it seemed short. I played the very, some of the clip in the very beginning.

You guys didn't know what that was. But I was like, man, I mean, I understood Derek side of it. Like, I'm just, I'm skateboarding. I'm trying to do something with myself. I mean, trying to be a professional skateboarder. Yeah, maybe been not back in my day. They were getting paid. Now these guys today, man, these guys that do make it, man.

they make good money with all their sponsorships and everything. But as far as you making that money, don't be stupid with it. Because a lot of skateboarders get all this big money thrown at them and they party and buy cars and houses and dumb. And then something had happened. You could hurt yourself. And it just, it can all go away. All that money can just stop.

But you don't have anymore because you just blew through it all for nothing. in the life of the party. But yeah, I understood Derek's side of it about I wanted to be a professional skateboard and I could see his dad's part of it. But his dad came at him like, you're doing something that doesn't mean anything. It's a waste of time. You're, you're vandalizing private property. But Derek says, he goes, look, man, we were just having fun at skateboarding. He goes, it's not like I went in there and robbed that building.

I mean, see, it's two different sides, which I can see both sides. Did I get into it with my parent? Maybe it wasn't my dad or my mom over, yeah, skateboarding and not going to school and all that. Because his dad, his dad threw everything at him. Like, you're not doing good in school. You're cutting school and you're running around being stupid with your friends and you're skateboarding. You're out vandalizing. He threw it.

It was a lot of stuff built up that he just, his dad exploded. on him and Derek he exploded on him too because like Brian said he goes yeah you dare when he was going off because you don't even like mom you don't like me or you're you're mad that I was born and and you hate your life and you hate your job

and all this but his dad was like what they kind of cut him off though I mean because his dad was man I did fucking everything for you I understood that too I was like I mean I think back on what my parents did

their sacrifice of what they did for us. And I was like, yeah, I mean, being a father, I can understand that. And I've said that to my kids as well. Look, man, I've done fucking everything for you guys. Don't act like I don't. And I still do everything. Talking to my daughter right now. But I still do everything for them.

All of them. Even my grandsons, I do stuff with them. I'll always do stuff for them no matter what. It changes when you become a parent because I talk. my kids all the time. If you did the shit that I did when I was your age, I would kick your ass.

And I'm just, I mean, my, my, my oldest, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, nowhere near the level I was. So, yeah, you, you're, you're right, man. You, you, you, you understand both sides, you know, uh, you know, coming up the way we did. And then now being fathers,

you see you sympathize with both sides. Yeah, man, I thought that that was a powerful scene to me out of the whole film. And Paul Rodriguez, I don't, again, I don't know if he's done more, if he's done acting before this. I thought that was, I thought he did an awesome performance in that scene. I bought it. I heard what he was saying. I heard what his dad was saying. I mean, I never seen his dad and anything else, but,

but that, that scene, that scene, that part got me. I was like, damn. I mean, and again,

being on both sides of that argument. Oh, he's in that Selena show. Is he? He plays, uh, Roger Garcia. I don't.

It's, it says recurring roles, so. Um, I would have to see. I'm thinking he is one of the music guys that they were dealing with. There's no pictures of Selena in this. But yeah, I think he was just one of the music views they were dealing with in that whole series.

Yeah, they don't show anything. I just, I assume he was one of them. You know what he was. Okay, I see a picture now. Yeah, he was one of the dudes in the music industry. He popped in there a few times. But again, I felt that that scene. And then to where Derek was like, man, fuck this.

He ran inside, grabbed the skateboard and what he could grab and just took off. Called up his buddies because everyone was getting ready to go to Tampa the next day. He was like, hey, man, do you guys leave yet? And he goes, nah, man, we're getting ready to go. He goes, all right, man, well, if it's cool, I'm coming. And they're like, oh, fuck, yeah. So they all pile into the car and take off. Earlier in the film, they all went to, this all took place in Chicago.

And they all went to Ohio to some skate park. And they were out there just skating because they heard this was the place to go. So they were out there skating. and they said there was other pros. You can get into your guy, huh? What's good? Oh, Ryan Schaeckler. He was cool in this movie, but again.

Bieber haircut. That show he did, man, ruined it for me, man. I was just like, how you just seemed like a spoiled little brat in that his little reality show he had. But anyway, I thought he did a good job. I'd seen him act and other things. I mean, if he continues to act, cool. I mean, I think he can do it. I mean, playing a little bit parts like this,

I don't know if he can carry a whole movie or not. But I thought every time he was on the screen when he was acting, I thought he did a good job. So when they get down there, they're all skating and ripping. Troy's trying to do his run to get ready for the contests. and Derek's out there going big, trying to do his big trick, the knack.

That's what they were calling it throughout the whole movie. And Mikey was filming him, but then Troy was like, come on, man, I got this line. Come over and film me. You're like, fuck him. He's nobody. Come over and help me.

So Mikey's like, all right. So he goes over because Troy is not, man. Or Derek's like, go ahead, go film him. So while Derek's out there skating around and then he kind of runs into Eric is Ryan Schaeckler and then no no he he Derek goes and sits down for a minute and I don't know why he went right up to that girl and sat right next to her I would yeah I thought she was pretty hot Cc Sheffield she played Taylor I like them cool girls and the Chuck Taylor's yeah that smoke

so he went up and I just started talking to her and then that's when Eric come Ryan Schaker comes riding up oh hey what's up oh that was awesome trick you're trying to do over there what is it they kind of get into it uh talking about it and they find out that yeah we're we're going to Tampa too oh maybe I'll see you down there so they kind of hey they Derek and Taylor kind of hit it off a little bit and then they there goes back to trying his trick and then Troy's over there trying to do his his little run but can't do it he's just fuck getting mad I mean all right this is something that that that I would bring up. These guys,

these actors, these characters that are in this film, they did, of course, they're skateboarders and they did everything. Mainly, Paul Rodriguez, when he's trying to do that

tray flip crook on that rail, I'm sure he has done it many times before. But to pretend that you can't land it, I mean, they're in the air they mean they're going big on all these tricks I mean I guess you can just go up and then hit it and just jump right off but I mean these are these are like stunt guys

that do I mean they did all their own skateboarding there was no alright I can't do this trick I'm gonna bring somebody else in but I was I was giving it I was giving it to them like them going up doing that trick other than Allian really high and hitting that the front of his board, excuse me, on the rail,

but then bailing. I mean, it's, it's like playing Russian roulette. Yeah, you can probably bail the trick, but you don't know which way your board's going to go

when you kick it away or if he, he kind of leapt forward. I was like, damn. I mean, because even at the end when he was trying that trick

when he was falling, like he was almost getting it and falling. And it didn't look like he landed it and then just kicked it. away. Real quick question. Do you think he really

wrecked his nuts later on in the movie? No. For a second there, I was like, you're fucking dedicated, because that looked like it fucking hurt a lot. I don't know. Maybe it might have.

I don't know. He just his acting, but. Shout out to Mikey. He's like, I'll get your ice pack. He's like, you're going to ice down my nuts. But, I mean, again, I'll give it to these guys, man. I mean, even Rob Deer, Troy, I can't, don't really remember what he was trying to do,

but it wasn't on anything really high. I mean, Derek was over there trying to do it on his tricks onto a handrail. And Derek was just trying to do it up on the ledge of this block. And he kept messing up and getting all mad. And then, I mean, Troy got so mad. And Derek was almost getting it. And he had, like, everybody over there watching. watching him yeah, hyping him up. That's another thing that I loved.

When you're trying something big and your boys are there or just whoever's there and everyone's watching you and come on, come on. I mean, just just hyping you up to do it. Shout out to my buddy Gav. We had many, many hype sessions. It was like if we both be trying the same trick and sometimes I would land first and then sometimes he would, but we would pump each other up. And everyone I've skateboarded with my whole life, GAV was the one that always hyped me up. I mean,

just so many times like, ah, fuck. We always had that same attitude. Like, well, shit, if you can do it,

I can do it. So it was like that. But it was never like a competition, like how Troy was a Derek. Troy was just flat out hater. He wanted to be number one. But I like that scene, though,

because Troy was just so mad. He couldn't get, his, the tricks he was trying. So he was like, fuck it, man. Let's go. And then they're like, what are you doing, man? D's about to land it. And he goes, I don't give a fuck.

I drove you guys down here. It's my ride. Let's go. So Derek and everyone were like, man, whatever. Let's go. I mean, you can't argue with your ride, especially when he drove from another state. So he's, you got to jump in. But Troy was that asshole.

I mean, it was hard to see Rob Deerick as that. Because you see him on TV. I don't know. this guy how he is in real life, but I assume he's cool. My buddy knows him, and he never says anything bad about him. But he,

when we see him on TV, I think that's how he is. Hell of cool, hella funny. Yeah, I heard he's very, he's very nice, very generous person in real life.

So it's, it's really crazy to kind of see him in this role, which there are at times where I feel like he kind of holds back, just because I think, in real life he's just that nice of a guy. Yeah, I mean, it was, it was tough for me to buy it from him on being this asshole. So I was, all right, man, but he's acting. Good for him.

I mean, I didn't buy it, but he did what he had to do. That was a, that was a surprise. Because when you hear this is a film made by Rob Derrida, you figured he would be the star of this thing. And he wasn't. So, I mean, to me right there, that shows. you how awesome this guy. Look, I wrote this. I'm putting my money in,

but I'm going to let my buddy be the star. Yeah, because I want to say he specifically picked Paul Rodriguez to be the star of this movie. So they end up leaving, and then, yeah, they go through the whole police thing and the rail and all that.

And then Derek gets into his dad. They leave and the fucking I'm going to Tampa with everyone. So they start making their way down to Tampa. They get down there. and then they get to the to the little motel where they're staying and this is where they're out there playing skate with some other skateboarders and Troy goes and gets the room and this is when Cash and Reese are running from room to room trying to get all the the the creamery the creamers from for the coffee oh man that was that first one that first room they went it to hey man he goes damn you have to paint those pants on every day. And that guy's like, well,

fuck you. Well, take it easy, Sid vicious. And then when they go to the next room and all those guys in all the black guys are in there and they're like, oh, man. Excuse me,

Dura, but can we, can we scream her? He tried to go in and everyone was like, oh, man, it looks like everyone was going to pull their guns out on them. He was like, oh, man,

don't shoot me. And then he got, they get on all that. So Troy's fun. All right, man, let's go to the room with our, before the, oh, no, the security came. Hey, I got thought to tell you guys to stop skateboarding the parking lot.

And then they're, he's getting, they're all getting yelled at by security. And then you're here to be, boom, you see that big ball of flames. It was cash dumping the creamery down on Therese when he was lighting. I'm going to have to look that up, see if that works. I won't try it, but. If it does work, you have, it probably, you probably have to have a lot of it. Because, yeah, he had it in like, uh, um, like he's got just a piece of paper and just piled a bunch it looked like there was at least

if not two cups of that powdered creamer so i i don't know there was a lot because he started dumping it down and then uh rees was at the bottom of the lighter and then as soon as that flame hit it it went whoo-s that thing was huge and then everyone was running they all the fucking cash got all burned up uh like singe his face was all like got I don't know if it was from the flame or whatever but he had dark ash all over his face and

they went into the room and then they were just gonna grind Derek was ready to go to sleep they're like no man fuck you gotta we're gonna go party and they end up going to some bar and uh

Derek he was underage it is flammable oh is it powdered non-dairy creamer is flammable if it gets too anti-caped I guess that's what it says dispersed in the air like a cloud it can explode

all right boys and girls don't try it just watch it in the movie but cash would have been the one to do that dumb shit because he he was crazy this whole movie so they're at this just some bar and everyone's in there drinking and having a good time fucking Troy is just

getting wasted and um oh this part was funny because when Reese and Derek are talking to some chicks and Mikey as well Cash comes around Oh man, can you guys help me?

He goes, can you see what time it is? And yeah, my buddy that was crazy would do stupid shit like this. The girls go look down and he like had his dick out of his pants. I mean, was it his no or was it something fake?

They just show it really fast, but they all went, ah, they all start screaming. And then the girls walk away and they're like damn cash what are you doing because they chase the girls away

but then Troy comes over and he's he's just being stupid drunk and gives him shots and he kind of gets into it with um with Derek or Derek's like yeah man whatever but then uh

why did that dude come up to them did they start talking shit uh I don't know I think he was just kind of felt like maybe he had a problem with Troy because Troy was at this point getting drunk and kind of

I don't know his his attitude was really coming out that that douche kind of attitude was coming out so I think maybe he didn't like how he was acting and I think they ended up bumping into each other yeah because they just

slammed some shots and then when that dude came over cash got in between him and Troy was like yeah fuck you then he leaned over and bah he leaned over Bha, he clocked that dude. He fell on the ground. And then, uh, Cash just got that dude on the ground just started stomping him.

This is when, uh, Big came running in and, uh, picked him up and took him out. They carried him outside. Troy, Troy had, uh, ran off and hid. Yeah. And then, uh, because when Big picked him up, he was a security guard. If big is, uh, what was his name? His real name, Chris, uh, Chris Boykins. Yeah.

Uh, he picked him. him up there's some cops outside I don't talk to you and then so cash ended up spending a night in the drunk tank and uh the guys were like Troy was out oh man it was awesome you see me beat that guy's ass or whatever he said and then they're like man I can do that to cash I he's I he's a big boy you'll be all right they like he ain't been in the drunk tank before and he goes come on man I'm hungry let's go so they all end up going somewhere to eat and this is when Troy just it's all fucked up just eating and talking hell of shit and they're like man can you do this man because that's fucked up he's our boy and then Troy's like fuck you if it wasn't

for me you wouldn't be here he was yelling at Derek and he goes he goes he goes I didn't I didn't even I was the one that didn't tell you guys that the cops were coming so it got into a big old argument like man fuck you're the reason that we got arrested and all this and like fuck you and then Derek's I mean fuck this I'm out of here because Troy just was just being that asshole So Derek just kind of grabbed his board And started skating And then his boys That Reese and Mikey

Hey, where are you going? Where are you going? And he just took off And he ends up running into Taylor and Eric So they're like, hey, what are you doing? I'm just, I'm down there What'd you do? Skate all over Chicago And he's like, no, I'm just

Yeah, I'm down here Yeah, but I kind of lost My place to crash And like, hey, well, you can come crash with us is what Taylor said. So they're like, all right, cool. So he jumps in and goes to them to their little motel. And yeah, it's Eric Taylor and drama.

I don't know what his name was in this. He was just there. What's drama's real name? Chris Paff. Yeah, him. Yeah, and his earlier, I don't know if it was later in the movie, but I know the little montage, a little skate montage in the beginning.

You can see his brother, a big cat skating at the skate park. So they go back to their little room in the, Taylor and Derek go outside for a smoke, and they're just talking Eric and drama are in the room. So when they go out, they go running to the window and they're peeking out watching them. And Derek, Derek's talking to her.

Like, yeah, and how come you don't have a girlfriend or how come you don't have a boyfriend? just like I got just left this bitch and I just left this dude and they're about to kiss. And then Eric says something like ooh or whatever and then they go look and then they see a drama's butt pressed up against the window. And then Taylor goes, you asshole? And Eric goes, what? You want to see asshole? And then drama opens up.

They don't show it. Drama opens up his cheeks and they go. and that was the end of the night. We get that now we're in Tampa. We're at the skate contest and just a lot of awesome skating. Other than Derek and Troy and Reese was out there for a little bit, but then it was just all the people that were in the contest. They did practice runs,

and then they had two preliminaries, and then it came down to the finals. And it was like the top five We're gonna win this contest So just a lot of awesome skateboarding During the prelims and everything Troy like Shoulder checks Derek and then they kind of get into a little bit

Like what the fuck? And he goes, you get a fuck out of Stay out of my way And he goes, you ain't you ain't gonna do nothing This is Troy yelling at Derek and Derek For all the shit that Troy has done up to this point Derek is still like, man, man, whatever. He just didn't want to hear it. I mean, Derek understood why Troy was being the asshole that he is.

So he's like, man, whatever. Because all his other buddies, man, fucking, man, don't worry about him. You just worry about it and get yours. So they're out there doing all the tricks and everything. Finally comes down to the preliminary run. And Derek tries his trick but doesn't make it. But he does. He skates pretty good.

Troy he was just doing watching this the first time I was thinking he wasn't doing anything big he was just doing kind of some basic stuff basic tricks I couldn't do them but I mean I'm just saying for to be

trying to win this contest or mainly so you can get into the finals you kind of go a little big big and you can't just go out there and do the stuff that he was doing thinking you're going to make it to the finals So he's like he Troy makes it And Derek does his run

But he messes up on his last trick And that's the big NAC that he was trying The big tray flip crook Down the rail but he kept messing up So there um Dave Duncan was the um The guy on the mic the announcer the guy that was running the old thing He's a skateboarder out there

So one of the OG guys Um so It was good uh He's not even listed in any of the credits. Well, not on IMDB. I think he did during the movie. But that was Dave Duncan on the mic. If you've seen this movie and you didn't know who it was.

But anyway, so yeah, we got the finalists posted over there. So everyone goes over there. Troy walks over there. I love this scene. Troy is like, fuck, man. He goes, what? He's yelling about Derek. And he goes, man.

And he goes, he gets to be in the finals. He goes, he fell on his last trick. And he's just hell of mad that he didn't, he didn't make it into the finals. And just going, oh, if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be here and all this. And then Derek comes over and looks and he sees it. Eric, Ryan Schaeckler and his sister Taylor come over. And then that's when Troy's in Derek's face. And then Eric's like, dude, you go, you did just a basic run.

He goes, you're just mad because his little, his mess up was better than your whole. run and Troy was like fuck you you go to who are you you little bitch beat your ass and I don't know he didn't sell those say those words but that's what he would say yeah this is the part where I kind of felt like the real rob was not a letting him the acting

rob like like yell at Ryan Schaeckler or or the actress playing his sister like because I don't know like when he started yelling at her like it sounded like he was yelling but he was cleaning it up like he didn't want to go too hard. Because yeah, because she

was like, yeah, he goes, what do you? Don't, don't talk to him like that. He turned a shut up, bitch. And he goes, you get, get out of my face. And that's when Derek jumped. Dude, what's the matter to you? Don't be talking like, don't say none to them like that. And he's like, fuck you, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here. And before he got, this, I

love this scene right here. I'll just play the clip right here. You're in the finals because his ending trick was better than your entire run. Shut the fuck up before I paddle you. I can give a fuck who you ride for. Leave him I'm out of this. You wouldn't even fucking be here in the first place

if it wasn't for me. Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy up, man. Can someone get me a fluorescent pink nipple for my dick so Troy here can feed on it, keep his mouth busy from bitching? Dude, the little twirp is right. You laid it safe and now you're paying the price, so let it go. It's not even that.

This dude wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me. And he wasn't here? Somebody else would have phased you out, man. Why you got a problem with him in the first place? He's not trying to take your spot. He's trying to make himself one. Yo, let this arrogant cock sucker be less of you. You didn't come here to piss out.

Troy, you and I are going to get some popcorn and watch our friend in the finals. All right. What Ryan Dunn said, what Ryan Dunn, Cash said to Troy was fucking, it made sense because he just fucked, dude. He goes, fuck, man. He goes, he goes, you played it safe and to get to where you were supposed to be at in the contest. And it wasn't any good. And he's like, man, this is your buddy, man. because this is your friend and he goes

fuck and man we're just going to go in there eat popcorn and watch our friend uh the battle in the finals you guys heard the clip but i mean i thought what he said right there was true he's like man we were friends

we came as friends we need to leave as friends but i mean that was true though yeah as much as he didn't like it it shut Troy's ass up it did yeah man because again, I mean, Cash was that the comic relief and just the guy that got into trouble. He just got

out of jail before they went to the contest. Came in talking shit too. Yeah. Because throughout the movie, he was constantly talking about Reese's, uh, his, neither his mom or his sister. Like, constantly, that's how you know

they're good friends because he's constantly saying something about either one of them. Yeah, but I mean, he that was like all truth right there. I mean, he's just like, man, we're friends. You guys know each other forever, man. What the fuck? I mean, but it shut him down. He, Troy just, deep down, Troy knew it was true. So he just man, he just kept quiet as cash. Like, come on, man, we're going to go here and watch our friend, uh, win this shit. And then he kind of gets him in a headlock and takes him out of it.

Man, right there, man. And that almost brought me to tears. I was kind of like, fuck, man. I mean, would it have it affected me that much if it was another actor no but since it was Ryan done I was kind of like oh man and again he was the one that was doing all this crazy shit throughout the whole movie up to this point well he continued to do more crazy shit but he made fucking perfect sense and he had to be the one to to yell at Troy to just tell him to fucking knock that shit off so I thought that was fucking awesome I mean I loved that scene that that was probably one of my favorite scenes in the whole film.

But, man. So they go back out there. Derek, Derek's in it. Eric was in it too as well. Ryan Shackle, I know he made it to the finals. So,

I don't know. They show, there's a montage really quick of everybody out there, but then they concentrate on Derek's run, doing all his crazy tricks. Just flips and all this grinds and everything, but then he goes to his big trick, his tray flip crook down the rail. He ends his run with that, but doesn't make it. And everyone's like, ah, but to me, the judges this far, they're judging him on everything that he's done.

I don't really understand how they judge these contests. I mean, I'm sure every contest is different. but he they they they were judging I judged once but how I was doing on just how big the tricks these guys were going for ongoing on that's the only time I've only judged once one contest but so he doesn't make it but everyone's like on ah but then he kind of gets up really quick and he wants to give it another shot and Dave Duncan's like oh man he's good again he goes hey man well the contest is over. I mean,

we can't count this, but we're going to let him do it. So he goes up, tries it again, and messes, and messes up, and then everyone's going, one more time,

one more time, then he gets up. I love how they shot this. They, other than multiple angles, they, they did it really slow in slow motion. So he goes up,

does the flip trick, grabs it, hits the rail, boom, and lands perfectly. and everybody's all juice for him and everything boys ran out there yeah you did it you did it and everyone everybody and the mother was in their film in it but i like how they kept showing troy every now and then while even during derrick's run he was kind of like you could see that

he still wanted to be that that that hater but he was he was like he was there for his boy he was kind of give him the nods like all right all right man you're cool because after he had landed and everybody and then that's when Troy go, hey man, that was sick brother. And then yeah, they kind of hug each other and all that. I like when yeah, just go back to Troy real quick.

He still had to play it off though. Like he had to look at it one more time. Yeah. To the camera. It was like, yeah, that was pretty good. You know. I was like, you know it was badass, man. This is a nice trick.

You know. Cash comes running in. Yeah. gives Derek a hug, then he grabs Troy, and then flips him around, so it's dry up on him from the back. Ah, yeah, my buddies. He's done that plenty of time.

Not to just me, everybody in the crew. But he was one of our crazy friends. But yeah, so, Derek actually, this is another thing I liked about this film. Other than he didn't make it during the contest, I mean, we knew he was going to make. naked before the movie ended, but he actually came in

fifth place in the contest. So it wasn't like, yeah, he wasn't like thrashing when Cory Webster, aka Thanos, won the L.A. downhill. He just he placed, but he

just didn't win. But that wasn't enough. I mean, the guys that were watching him, one of the, one of Troy's friends earlier in the film, the guy that had a company he goes yeah man you make that trip man you're on the team and then because he went he that guy was there he came hey man he goes dude he goes dude if you want to be on the team man you made it dude you can and there was kind well i didn't win he was it don't matter man you

made that trick and you want to be on the team told him you don't even need to finish that video yeah if you want it you got it he was like yeah so i mean all it ends well everybody's friends again Derek got his sponsor and then he gets the girl at the end but uh... which i have to say cc sheffield is upgrade no no disrespect to

the cheerleader ex-girlfriend but like I said I do like them cool girls with with the Chuck Taylor's you can ace the cigarettes maybe my younger years I was all right but now no no

no one nowadays is probably fucking vaping well it's not as bad not as bad yeah not as bad for you it's bad but not as bad anyway so yeah they kind of I assume she didn't live in Chicago so he ended up giving her big smooch

and then everyone jumps in the car and then they go hauling ass back to Illinois I liked all the outtakes and everything at the end of the film during the credits. But again, for what this movie was, I thought it was awesome. I'm going to have to see if it's on Blu-ray or DVD or whatever because I would like to own this.

I thought it was a really good story. I thought everybody in it did their parts. I mean, other than these guys were just ripping skaters. Was the acting the greatest? No. but I think to me as a skateboarder and a guy that loves watching movies and enjoys a good story, I thought this story was good. It spoke to me in many, many parts of the film, like I explained throughout.

But I thought it was really good job, man. If Paul Rodriguez continues to act, I guess I could just click on his name and see if he's done anything else. who was in Selena? Yeah, we talked about it. God damn. Go back and see exactly where. I guess he was in some short. He was the curse of Lala Rona?

I don't remember that horrible-ass movie. Was this the who was? Okay. I'm not have to go back and I've seen that movie once. I don't even remember. But I guess he's out there doing it.

I mean, nothing huge, but he's out to making movies. So, again, he did what he was supposed to do. He wasn't the greatest

actor, but the parts where it counted, I thought, he did a good job. The scene when he got into it with his dad, the scene when Derek and Troy were kind of going at it, I thought he good. I mean,

it wasn't just, they didn't just hire him for a skateboarder, for his skateboarding, but he's good that he did. I mean, I liked that the skateboarders were the actors. They didn't, they weren't just,

they got some guys that act, and then, all right, we're going to get these skateboarders to do the stunts. I'm glad they didn't do they didn't do that. So if Rob Deerdeck does more, which I hope, I hope he does, because he had a hard time doing this one. The little interview that I saw, he said he put in, like, again,

he put in over a million dollars of his own money. And he probably didn't even get back. But I guess, um, this movie came out 2009. And so 10 years ago or no, shit, 20. No, no, I'm sorry. you got to do the math it's late it was a while ago yeah it's over 10 years ago um but he um i guess he was at home and it was going through mail or whatever and then he saw a check for 17 dollars for uh for this and it's like what is it he said it was a 17 dollar check from

uh i guess people that bought it on iTunes and he's like oh i made some money i mean he He didn't care that he didn't make millions of dollars from this movie. He just wanted to make a movie and put his buddies in it. And it was a movie that he wrote with the help of his friends and everything. And he did it. So I can give it to him for that. Again, I loved it for what it was, not just because of the skateboarding. I loved this story on how it spoke to me in a personal level throughout this film.

So as far as the director, it looks like he's done a ton of stuff. He's only got three directing stuff, other than this film, some short video, and then I guess he directed two episodes of, what's firsthand? I never heard of that. But he's done a lot of, he's a cinematographer.

He's done a lot of big things. So good to see that he did this. So again, I really enjoy this film. I thought it was awesome. If you guys have Amazon Prime, it's on there, or everyone's got YouTube. You can watch it on there. But I thought this was an awesome choice, man. Thank you because I had never even heard of this film.

Thank you for telling us some of your stories, man. I mean, I hope this will. get us more skate society episodes um yeah i'll claim this as episode two skate society because i this movie was awesome other than the awesome skateboarding and all of it every time they had skateboarding on the screen it was there wasn't a lot but it was good that they focused on uh skateboarding as well as the story so i i i thought it was good. There was a good balance of both.

I know some people, when you, when you have skateboarding movies, all they want is skateboarding in it. But it's good that they, they balance it out. So awesome film. I guess, again,

I could be here all night talking about this. It's my pick, and I didn't even pick anything. I was, uh, gonna think of the comedy

route but um see what we can pick with do something serious or do I want to do comedy

have we have we even done any comedies with any of these shows we've done uh oh I'm a street fighter

I mean Friday after next yeah I think that's That's the only comedy we did. All right. You know what?

Fuck it. Let's do a comedy. I ain't seen this in a while. I'm going to go to... I guess I can pull that up. This is on HBO Max. But I don't know. What year came on.

I want to say 1990. But this is the... Yep, 1990. This is the 1990 Kid and Play. Classic. uh, there was a trilogy,

but then they made the fourth movie, which I don't even know. It doesn't count. I don't even know if they're in it, but we're going to start with the first one. And this is a house party. Nice. I just saw that it was on HBO Max.

So all of them are on there. Well, one, two, three, and four, which I, the disregard for. Have you seen it? Yeah.

Okay. Well, I haven't seen it. So we're, we're going to talk about the, the first one next week well I guess now

I gotta watch it it is connected I mean the Bernie Max nephews from the third one immature

yeah it's them in the fourth one I like them in that third one but all right I know we'll see I'll have to check it I haven't seen

I didn't even know they made it until like recently. So, but, uh, yeah, come back next week, uh,

for a 1990s, uh, house party. Nice. All right. Uh, anything else going on? Uh,

I don't know yet. Um, we were supposed to, we were supposed to drop a new East society, but just life got in the way. So, but, um,

I don't even know what we put out last. Uh, we got more coming. Uh, that's all I can tell you. Um, I know you guys, you guys did a check-in episode. Theo did the NBA check-in, which, real quick on the NBA.

I know people are excited to go get back into the arenas, but keep your stuff to yourself. Don't throw nothing at the players. Don't spit on the players. You can't say whatever you want to the players or their families sitting court aside. that stuff that shit is stupid that's what uh when we did that check in that's what he was talking about i i don't watch NBA so i don't yeah the the one that to me was this i mean it it's been happening since they've been letting people in slowly because there was an incident with lebron where a certain entitled woman sitting courtside thought she can get up and say whatever she wanted

to him with whatever kind of language she wanted to to use and pulled the old. You don't know who my husband is routine. But the most disgusting one was when a New York was playing or Atlanta in New York, their series

Trey Young plays for Atlanta and one of the fans for the Knicks spat on him. It was standing courtside, which could have ended up even more worse because 50 cent and his girlfriend were sitting there. And he

spit over 50 cent to spit on Tray Young and that could have went left field super fast. Damn. Because that's what Theo was saying. He was saying that it happens, but not as much as it's been happening lately. Yeah. It's people,

players going back to the locker rooms and getting stuff dumped on them. I know one of the, I can't think of what team he plays for, but his family with his parents were at the game and I guess they were being verbally attacked with racial comments by some of the fans and it it's got to stop. I mean, you're going to make it to where they're just not going to have fans for the rest of the playoffs.

And I know every, like I said, I know everybody's excited, but, you know, be a decent person. Yeah, man,

it's just, your team's not going the way you wanted to, man, and go home. He ain't got to be a bitch and spit and throw things. I mean, that's... Yeah. I don't know.

I mean, is it worth it being banned for life from these events? No. But don't be mad when these players retaliate and knock your block off. And then try to sue. You ain't winning, but... Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Uh, but yeah, as far as that, I mean, we, we got episode coming.

I don't know when, but it's coming. Uh, we might drop a, uh, uh, a rewind really soon. I won't go into what it is until it's out, but, uh, I know that'll probably be out before the next episode. Mike's going to come on. We're going to do, uh, his favorite movie anniversary for his, his favorite movie. So if you guys know Mike in a personal level, you know what it is, but I won't tell you guys. And, uh, yeah, I guess that's it. But come back next week for a house party here on THR present stream fiends and then check out action returns with Beverly Hills Cop 3 triple axle or whatever they called it.

Fun world or whatever. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, come back and check out that. And then the next couple of weeks we got. Some commentaries. The first one is Patreon picks from one of our donors
