ellis grateful to have them here today
for me to set that parking brake and let myself unwind
shine that light on me
i'll sit and tell you my stories
shine on me
you gotta do some of those mexican shows man the mexican shows like uh what's
that show with those
four people calling out in the valley somewhere it's like two mexican kids and
a um chinese person
you know i'm talking about in a vietnamese person they speak english though
right yeah yeah yeah
everybody speaks english it's good uh it's like something i literally did a mexican
game show there
you go it was pretty insane oh there you go dude that's they're not they're
speaking spanish in that
right but the whole country's again so you got to jump over a wall it was wild
but it was like
it was like this giant pinball thing that you had to throw these balls down
they bounce and they're
hitting the audience and stuff what it was crazy man i want to do that why don't
they do that here
i want to throw giant balls at people it's because of the different legislation
i think you know like
certain countries you can uh i mean the rules are definitely different on who
can die skate parks
when i was a kid they just built giant vert ramps and put them in a park in
here
the only person that had giant vert ramp is some pro dude that's got all the
insurance and
shit rich guys sorry i didn't mean to point at you dude and you might not have
any money anymore i
don't know but there was a time i might have to sell my ramp for scraps and
wouldn't it be crazy
we walk up on him in winter and he's like making firewood out of his last ramp
you know to stay
warm that'd be a really sad day no thanks here to stay oh good i'm glad man um
yeah thank you guys
for coming in man i appreciate it dude it's good to see you again you know and
thank you for you know
whenever i was just uh really kind of catching a break in comedy you brought me
onto your serious
so a couple times oh really that was what that because i've yeah i didn't
realize you hadn't
already i didn't think i had a part i heard you on opie and anthony i i told
you and was like holy
shit this guy's the funniest guy i've ever heard on radio that's what how long
ago it was and i was like
get him on my show and then sure enough he just you know i'm like he didn't
know it yet but he's like
an amazing you know i was like you could take over any are you saying you gave
him his big break
no not at all he i'm saying he was already you're kind of saying that he helped
hammer he helped hammer
the crack i think everybody already knew though i don't think i was let me show
you
fucking fear of on everybody everyone like did you on the ona show it wasn't it
wasn't you weren't
well it was just opie at that point and you're but your sorry yeah your show
had a big all your no
you definitely giving me like a a nod of confidence it was like you and simon
rex kind of did it at the
same time and that was i think really helpful so yeah so thanks man i
appreciate it i never really kind of
thank you for that wow um amazing what's going on so you guys are up to this
now huh
well we started we started at siriusxm in 2004 before my show that's how i got
on yeah oh okay he
got me on okay yeah and then we were doing that for a while and then he went
off to somewhat greener
pastures and started being the voice of the channel we were on for the most
part and then i kept doing
the podcast and then i was just kind of getting buried in there what what do
you think you were
missing like when he wasn't there was there something that you felt like you
were missing
um yeah definitely a a a edgier comedy i would say yes which wasn't good at the
time it was it was
pretty raw and we i had a lot of i had a lot of kids listening because it was
oh yeah it was very
much still skating and we were doing video games and they wanted to hear about
that and play music
and then this guy would bring in him yeah that's talking about the stripper
episodes
crazy uncle yeah i mean pretty much yeah he's definitely like the work release
uncle yeah yeah
very unfiltered but it was hilarious um but then um but then like i said we
just they just kind of
fizzled out and then he started podcasting and and i hit him up i said maybe we
should try something
and so we started trying it and it kind of clicked and it's been fun yeah it
feels fun it feels fun to
watch you guys i'm trying to think when i when i watch i feel like um yeah i
feel like you guys have
a comfort level with each other there's a real earnestness that comes out of
you a lot that i
think creates this it makes you kind of be the same way i don't know i haven't
watched a ton but from
what i've seen it's uh it seems like like a new little not like a marriage but
like a new little like
okay no it's good it's springtime at the house you know give me a key to the
ramp the other day and i
i thought it was just as good as an engagement ring to me i think it's pretty
special what's
happening for sure to a skate ramp to my round okay so yeah is it like you said
only rich guys have
their own ramps yeah yeah it's a totally rich guy ramp and it also has a lock
out front of it that
definitely it's in a warehouse oh it is although someone broke in the other
night stole some camera
gear oh i thought they just skated not skating i know i was kind of hoping that
too hey what are you
doing well you gave ellis a key you didn't give me one somebody broke somebody
broke in here too
actually what they stole stole cameras yeah right oh yeah it must be that time
of year maybe the holidays
people are looking you know to give cameras out or something well they they
were going around the
building trying to get into different doors and finally got into the door that
just happened to
be by a camera that was set up oh yeah that's a game show for criminals i feel
like they just walk
into a building and it's like yeah if he had gotten the other door open he
would have had
uh a piece of the of the loop oh the loop the loop ramp is all set up over
there that would
have been hard hard to steal on a whim i was gonna say and what would you do
like if theo stole the
loop what would you what would you do i've gotten hurt on nothing the first
thing that you would do
with the loop i'd probably take it to canada or australia where people would
freaking mount somebody
over you could sell it for big money over there i think but how do you i mean
how do you get it
there yeah shipping i don't know these canada maybe you could drive it through
in a truck yeah but
australia no got hawks loop can you imagine trying to get trying to get just
get rid of it yeah yeah
what's what i'm saying hey man hey kid you want a loop yeah like hey kid you
want to die i got the
device like just just set this thing up and go down that roll and you'll be
dead in a minute like no
problem yeah bro this path has fentanyl in it yeah the suicide loop the loop
just takes people out
yeah i mean it's i i did it and it was one of the most painful terrifying
experiences of my skateboard
career really it was hard work for sure some people get it a little easier but
i was already on my way
out doing radio and not skateboarding all the time and he was like we're
setting up the loop i was like
well if you're calling me that's it's a it's a prestige you know to do the loop
i think it's only
like 10 people had done it and i was like well this is an opportunity for me to
and all americans
all white like whites all women oh who was it who all had done it you want the
demographics yeah
yeah i'm not judging i don't know i've never been asked that question am i the
first gay guy
i'm the only i believe so yes oh yeah there you go and then and then lizzie armanto
was the first
female right oh wow okay and then uh felipe nunez did it with uh no legs he he
has no legs
that's cheating a little bit though don't you think i think so no it was so
hard for us to
get the speed for him we had to build an extension on the starting ramp for him
look at it is that
it the actual yeah yeah well it's pretty gnarly dude like when you get up this
is uh um tom shara
got broke off here it's like being in the dryer for a really couple seconds
yeah yeah but you can't
lose where you are if you do that you're dead what do you look at when you go
into the line oh look at
the line he's got a line in the middle of it and you follow the line because
especially if you're if
you've got skateboarding in your in your background when you get to the upside
down part you want to
look back because that's what you usually do you're going back you're turning
around oh yeah so you got
to not look back and keep looking at this line and it just doesn't seem right
so you you want to do
that little lean and then that makes you do this twisty thing and you eat shit
well i'm just trying to
say because i never now it's a lot more diverse when i was young it was like
white dudes who had been
who were about to fight their stepfather were the ones who were skateboarding
yeah i hated those guys
yeah yeah i got that's how that's how i became me talking about jason okay
maybe i grew up with
those guys i had to like you know i got approval after many years of hard work
and you know humiliation
and and you know they just they destroy you and call you a pile of shit and
throw your board in the trash
one time i made checkers i told this story but i made checkers inside checkers
with the grip tape on
the board so it took like oh a couple days oh yeah because i'm a lot of school
doing that it had to be
perfect and i'm not very like good with like art and shit my i got big dumb
hands so it took forever
so i got checkers in checkers on this board and i show up like christian soy
boy with checkers in
checkers i'm like get the i'm the sickest dude yeah out here and i get on the
ramp and this dude that's
now my friend sac reynolds he goes what the is that and just grabs it off me
and throws
it in the trash can oh and but i just grabbed it out of the trash can and kept
skating because that's how
it goes it happened all the time yeah and now they're nice to me well only took
like yeah yeah
30 years now it's like man how's it looking good in the states jason send us a
t-shirt i'm like i'm
not sending you jason get stuffed we had uh i'm trying to think if we had a lot
of skateboard in our
area we had one dude jumped off the shoneys one time on a board and uh hit what's
a shonee it's a
shone's it's like a place where you get food it's like a denny's yeah it's like
a denny's but off the
roof yeah he came down off the roof yeah but he hit a buick uh a saber and can
you pull up all the
saber daddy wait while it was moving no no still a saber oh yeah wait he didn't
see not eating properly
i think he didn't plan ahead really yeah i think some people think when you're
going
