The Bunt Ft. Danny Cerezini S23 Episode 08 "No drivers license, no passport, and drunk."

35:11Back to sponsors for a sec. At one point, you were the only skater in the world with the Puma contract, man. What's the story behind that sponsorship? Joy Brzezinski. Yeah, that started with him because I think he got his ride for, I don't remember which company, but he got kicked out. And then he went to just a random store which sells Puma. and then he bought like two pairs of Puma and then he posed and the guys from Puma came to him and just man let's make it happen or we can send it to you blah blah blah and that's where it starts so I always skate with him Joey Brzezinski a lot so he was like man let me give you he already like had this Puma for skating then he gave it to me I was like man that's such a good choose to skate you know so that's where where it starts and then from there i came to puma brazil they contact me so i was just the the only one riding for puma in brazil so that's where it starts but i was getting paid here i was getting paid in brazil you know because i was i was i was kind of i was kind of moving to brazil already at that time you know that was probably in 2015 16 I moved back in 16, 17.

36:36Davis Torgerson:Yeah. So speaking of moving back to Brazil, what made you want to move back? Did you feel like you needed to, you wanted to figure something out outside of skating or were you still trying to do the pro skating thing or what was behind that decision? A lot of things that made me have this decision, you know, like the first thing I think was crisis in 2008. Oh, the financial crisis? Yeah, the recession. you know that that was that was one one thing you know because i turned pro in beginning of 2008 that came in end of 2008 you know so man that was the worst thing for me because that was the year i turned pro everything was you know fine for me getting paid you know like paychecks like doubling you know so six months later that i i turned pro that happened you know so all the companies cut everything you know not not like all the the the salary we're making but at least like 30 percent and if you like no i don't want they kick you out you know so that's that's what made me come back to brazil in 2016 like six years seven years later after that you know so i i had a long time after that still you know i made it i made it because there's many people didn't made it and then after this economy thing the christ it changed the whole game the whole situation i i survived i was okay but i was those guys who was just making whatever two or five six k you know yeah and like for that to live in america paying range paying all those bills, food, car, you know, it's, it was nothing.

38:27It was nothing. I was surviving, you know, like, but like I couldn't save anything else. So I, I was like, man, why am I going to stay here? Just like I make 6K and I spend 7K or six, you know, like, no way. I'm just going to move back to my country and whatever, skate there or do something there. I'm just not going to live here. It doesn't make sense if i was making like 10 or 15k or all right i would stay you know and then like the maloof came i had a chance i can't i'm not gonna lie i had a chance to be part of maloof i escaped a couple ones but uh at that time i was just like get whatever you know i'm not i was not to to that contest guy anymore because i did a contest like from my 10 years old to my 20 or 22 so i gave up at that time so i was like man i i don't i don't care about content so i was just traveling filming and then once that i realized i was like man i don't think it's making sense anymore you know to me to be here i know i'm not gonna be those maloof guys to who's gonna ride for nike or those companies who pays you a lot i don't know in 2007 or 8 something like that you I was six or seven to ride for Nike and I didn't ride because I was for van, I was riding for events.

39:52So I kind of missed that time when it was the beginning, Nike starts on skateboarding, you know, doing the skate thing. So I was just, man, it's not making sense anymore. I'm just going to go back to my country, stay with my family, with my friends you know find trying to find something new to do you know and that's what i did hell yeah man that's that that thing in 2008 for sure was the the main thing you know no no no doubt

40:27Davis Torgerson:for sure felipe said that uh you you might have been one of the only people that started making less money when you turn pro because of the crisis you might have been making more money as an am that's right up man that's right man and nobody knows that you know like nobody knows not not even my close friends just fucking terrible timing it's not yeah it just just happened you know like it's not my fault it's not nobody's fault you know it just happened so it just just when i realized i was like man i gotta i think it's better to go back home you know i was kind of missing home already because tiago lemos got in got in america when he was 20 or 21 other one when they 18 me i was 13 man so i i already lived like that's a long time yeah 2008 i was living there i was six years so when i moved back to brazil i was like almost 15 years living there you know just the skate life every day just traveling so man i i lived all that too early now you know if you understand me yeah for sure for sure um back in the day pinching your crooked grinds wasn't something that we really cared about early 2000s and stuff watching your old footy i see you doing some some shoveling switch front crooks with your whole truck on there 2026 now Everyone's obsessed with pinching their trucks.

41:58Davis Torgerson:What do you think? Are you a pinch guy now? What do you, what are you saying? Man, I really don't know about this years, what they like, they care or not. But how do you say at that time, nobody care. Even me, I haven't, but, but you clips are like doing that. I don't care if people like do this way, this, this way or the other way. I just like the way with the wheel I think that one now The way he does Or Carlos Ribeiro Or Thiago That's the way I like it I don't know I don't understand how those guys Do on rails Like the front crew Just to watch that on TV Or on my phone I was just like How did he do that man yeah imagine she just like boom little bit this man it's just like doesn't make sense for me you know like the way the way they lock it on on the rails okay on the ledge it's it's it's easier but man on the rail on el total man what the fuck yeah it's just it's just like it's it's just not just to think you know about it for sure back in the day people didn't give a fuck like i remember Terry Kennedy would do crooks like no pinch train wreck front crooks Wilshire 10 all truck it was just how it was back in the day but yeah I was just wondering if you were paying attention now people care about this yeah the people care about everything now man you can't get away with nothing no more to me it doesn't matter you know for sure what's the story behind getting on Boulevard and the connection that got the team paid and able to travel together for seven years what's the story there man that all that happens when i start thinking moving back to brazil that boulevard thing you know the boulevard family in brazil because rp was there already montoya and uh rob is uh our homes for a long long time they already had tiago and carlos so i was just thinking to move back to brazil and I had this guy who was the guy who was gonna put the money to make it happen the boulevard in Brazil they want to make it happen so I was like man let's make it happen you know so that's when it starts in Brazil so boulevard was happening in America already you know with those guys Toya and all those guys the Brazilian crew but with me it starts when I just decided to move back to Brazil and then to have something safe to me here in Brazil I had to do the Boulevard thing here with my homie who was gonna put money on the brand so we can do tours and we can film we can make a video we can have a nice nice board here to skate you know boards to sell in brazil on a on a nice price you know all that that's that's when starts boulevard in brazil and me and on boulevard that's when uh philippe came to to to do the boulevard in brazil with the america you know so he was the guy who was just talking with uh with america and making it happen here you know so then i came we brought I don't know who else, but yeah, that was just Brazilian Boulevard pretty much.

45:40That's so sick.

45:41Davis Torgerson:And you guys had a great run. That was such a sick brand. Or like at that time. Yeah. You guys did a 21 day filming trip in Brazil. You got the whole team down there. What happened on day one of that trip? Ooh, day one. Who told you that Felipe? I think he was saying it was when you guys got robbed. Yeah, but yeah, we got robbed, man. I was just skating with Tiago in this rail. Man, I was just there waiting. Me and Tiago and I don't know, Pedro was skating too. And then Pablo Vaz was taking photo on the other side, like near the next to the rail. And then we had two guys filming. and i was like on the other like on the other side where those guys are filming the the the photographer was me and tiago was there and pedro you know just trying to trick and then man which it was so so fast man it was like 30 seconds this guy's just this car the car just stopped two guys just came out with the the car with the gun just took it like because they they they passed already you know they passed like five minutes before yeah they knew what they made a plan they They saw us, they were like, oh, camera there, camera there, blah, blah, blah.

47:01So they just came straight to the cameras. Me and Tiago were on the other side. Like, we just saw everything was just like frozen. Like, ooh, then we saw everything, but we couldn't do anything. You know, they have guns. And that's what happened to me in Brazil, too, man. That happened in Sao Paulo with Jeremy Fox once. The first time when Jeremy Fox and Steve Luther was in Brazil, when they found me in Brazil, the day after the contest, We went to this skate park just to get some photos of me, you know We we just sit and we're just about to to to to leave came this guy with a gun just go straight to the bag with the cameras and then Jeremy Foxy, he's just trying to run I just jumped the face and the other one runs it was just crazy the guy shot the ground Oh just to scare us you know jeez man after that was like jeremy he he he was he was like shaking like for two or three days man just because of that man seriously was serious you know i was 13.

Well, if you've been there, you've heard. You've heard. Have you guys been there? Sometimes the people skating are keeping it chill, but he was not. I don't know if I've seen anybody do that.

55:03That place in Prague, it's magic, man. I had such a good time there. And I think it was the best times because now it's different, you know. The way I see the last ones, I don't think it's the best point how it was to be. At that time, like in 2006, 7, 8, 9, 10 was the best time in Prague, no doubt, for sure. But yeah, talking about Copenhagen, 2008, yeah man. I won that, I think it was the second or the third. It was crazy, it was crazy because I don't know how to skate the finals, man. because I was partying until 5 in the morning, 6 in the morning. I got back to the hotel super drunk. I slept and then I woke up drunk still.

55:53I was just like, man, what the fuck? But yeah, it was a good time. It was a good contest. Good vibes. Good friends. That contest at that time was just at the indoor. It was just at the skate park. was not street stuff outside in the skate park which yeah it was just the indoor these days are cool because of this you go just spot to spot like crazy just ride your bikes i love them and i think if it's gonna happen this year i might go this year just to see the the friends and just to live that again you know before you're getting old because the older you get it just don't want to leave home, you know?

56:40I'm already feeling that, you know? It's just like, man, I just want to stay here, you know? But this contest, it's amazing. I have to go back again at least one. Alright, we got to hear about Amsterdam now. So, 2007, you placed second at Amsterdam Am. The circuit TM hits you with the open tab at the club to celebrate all of your hard work uh tell us about that day and night and then maybe it spills over to the next day just tell us the whole thing man people who was who was who was with me at the that tour was the circa team they thought i i died man they thought i passed away you know because like they tried to find me they tried to search me everywhere and the hospitals and everywhere they're trying to they're trying to they call the police and they couldn't find me man that's what happened uh yeah we just at this club celebrating you know and then all the the circuit the circuit team they left they're like oh we're going to the hotel it was already four in the morning they like oh we're going to the hotel because tomorrow we're leaving early to belgium i was like okay okay i'm I'm leaving 30 minutes, I'm gonna stay with my Brazilian friends.

58:00And then we stayed there for another 30 minutes and they closed the club. So they kicked us out. So we are at the front of this club, very drunk. And we just had this girl around us. We were just singing Brazilian music and they danced with her. We just had fun like for five or ten minutes in front of the club. And then we were like, okay, let's go. It's time to go home. We were just walking to the hotel. And then one of my friends, they saw a bike. You know, there's so many bikes in Amsterdam, you know, like all over there's bicycle, you know. So he saw a bike because the day, the first day he got there, and it was his first time in Europe.

Who's the most talented skateboarder on planet Earth? Tiago Lemos. Hell yeah. Favorite trick? Kickflip. Basic. Basic. If you have that on control, you can do anything. Hardest trick for you? If I have a trick that I, I want to do it and I, or if I like it, I just learn.

1:07:07If I want to do it, I learn it. You know, you got to like, that's what I did. That's what's up. Most illegal trick. Depends. People want to skate their way. Like I never, I never land one pressure on my life, but I, I wish I couldn't do it. I don't think there is illegal tricks, you know? Maybe that means pressure flips the hardest trick for you. Yeah. You can say that or the slappy crook guy. That's why I like all, man. If the guy just want to do that for his skate career, or he's having fun with that, it's all good. That's the way I think. Favorite clip you've ever gotten? Switch hard flip from Blunt.

1:07:57Hell yeah. I guess. What's the worst trend you've been a part of? It's the hard question. I don't know, man. What's the gnarliest trick you ever witnessed? I play art. Nollie big heel at the triple set in Sacramento. Nollie back heel? Nollie back heel. Yeah?

Of course, I remember this nollie back heel, but the back the back heel flip just that I don't remember for that day because he just do like five four five tricks in the same spot you know in 20 minutes it was gnarly so sick um what's the one trick that got away I think that kick flip back nose blunt makaba I tried a couple times I landed I walk away and then slide my wheels and they told me if I if I landed there would be a cover you know and i i i try on the on the both both drop you know the one with the ledge like that and the one they took it out the ledge and the stairs it's i i almost did on the bone wow both both spot you know like both ways i don't know how to say is this scarier which one was scarier i never went there before this one with the stairs for sure it's longer did it hurt when you saw trent mcclung do it no no man i i think i i appreciate him i i actually i text him man i appreciate because i was stopping stopping skating if i can say that you know like stopping the the professional life you know fucking man thanks thanks trying to do that man for me because he did it perfect he's my homie and i try at least 10 times yeah whatever but yeah that's that's one trick but i'm glad that he did he's my homie trent yeah yeah shouts trent what's the biggest bunt you've ever witnessed uh man i don't know if i want to say this one but i have a like long story with uh steve williams oh no yachts how do you call it the bro asphalt yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i was a yc yeah yeah i was the the first one one of the first skater after him to be part of so he promised me a contract with all that i signed the contract and then he just ripped off like a few months later then he signed with Nigel I guess I have a cover in Brazil the magazine here in Brazil I'm writing I have the Asphalt t-shirt on the cover because I was getting from them and then I signed the contract and nothing happened never got paid But yeah, that was one thing with Steve Willis.

1:11:00So I kind of had respect for him since that day. After that, it's just like no respect because he didn't respect me. So all good. Something happened with DigiK too. Before that, with Steve too, that he promised me a few things and nothing happens. but that was like that time when I told you guys that I was the educated and playing B then blind and then turn probe for blind you so it's like that time that did you care things it's alright damn okay that's a good one what's the

Thank you so much for coming on the pod. It's been a blast. Thanks, guys. It was a pleasure, man. We appreciate you, man.

1:19:15welcome back to random skater of the week the fastest growing segment on youtube hosted by our good friend davis torgersen and brought to you by mob grip the number one choice of professional skateboarders worldwide and the reason simple is the grippiest this week blondie mccoy back in the building what's going on man what's going on i'm here in australia

1:19:40Davis Torgerson:i've just gotten out of the uh out of the sea is it the sea the ocean at bronte beach it's our last day and everything is good everything is very very good thank you nice to see you all again damn we swam in bronte beach too when we were just there good so you're just here what were you guys just here for uh we were doing like a just a little a6 filming trip oh okay cool yeah did you like it yeah i loved it um fuck i wish we had more time in both sydney melbourne where we were how long were you here for we were only in sydney for three days melbourne for four yeah that's pretty quick we've been here for ours is a six day trips nine days in the in the calendar but you know of course you spend about three days traveling yeah and it was always going to be a tight window but you can really feel it i mean i almost wish that i'd never come yeah i really love so much.

1:20:32Davis Torgerson:Ignorance is bliss, man. Skating is still good. Pubs still have pool tables. You can get out of the sea and have a big pie, big chicken and meat pie or bangers and mash. I mean, it's really, it's like a tropical climate with very familiar culture. It's just bizarre. I can't believe that it exists. I mean, I feel like I'm on another planet here, but then there's that familiarity. I actually said in an interview, years ago being a bit of a smart ass someone said i'll come to australia and i said why would i go as far as i could possibly go to arrive at the most culturally similar location you know it's just being a smart ass the thing is that is actually true yeah i think that's a fair thing to say i was just being cheeky but actually the funny thing is that's exactly why i find it fascinating now and that's exactly why i've had such a good time and uh it's uh it's been great Anyway, that's how I am.

1:21:32Davis Torgerson:Oz is dope. We didn't even get to scratch the surface and I already can't wait to go back. Definitely. We haven't even left yet and I can't even wait to come back. As I say, a big part of me wishes I'd never come here. But while you've been down there, you've been watching skate videos, reading magazines and studying up research. I've been reading. I've been in the library most of the time. Of course. No, I've been doing my research. Yeah. Let's see how we get on. Yeah, let's go, man. I need a W here. Yeah. Let's do this. Who's winning this season? I think the guests are kind of winning, yeah.

1:22:14Davis Torgerson:Yeah. Okay. Is that usual? I feel like the ones I've seen of these, people don't know. It's quite hard. Maybe we've brought on some smart skaters, I guess you could say. you know um smart skaters okay we've had the intellectual power of the culture that was that was not the smartest way to say that um the upper echelon of the skate community um well you're in the future too so you do have an advantage um we will for those who are not watching or have not seen this before i'm gonna just list off clues everyone here gets three guesses they can blurt out the random skater at any time um and they can ask questions but shall we what do we what do we win what do we guess to win a chance to come back and do it again what more could what more could one ask for a chance to not embarrass yourself yeah a chance to not embarrass you win uh yeah the saving face you get to keep your face Gabbers came on embarrassed himself and is desperate to come back yeah I remember you telling me that he wants another chance but he was talking shit before so he's still talking shit says the guy in the background distracted I was with him I was with him last night and I can confirm that he's still talking shit wow I love that unequivocally categorically okay okay Shall we proceed?

1:23:57Davis Torgerson:Let's do this Yes sir Okay We're gonna start it off the same as all the others With previous teammates of this random skater Including Eric Koston Mark Johnson And Jamie Thomas

1:24:15Davis Torgerson:Some familiar faces there I can also confirm That this skater Has had a crooked guest board fuck is this a is the team that they were on is this a board brand uh i usually stick to boards and shoes um i will give you right now that there are no board companies within these shared sponsors okay eric coston jamie thomas and mark johnson and mj no boards That was a pretty early sponsor clue. Yeah. This one's kind of interesting. This person was in the comedy slash horror in American Vampire Story, which featured Carmen Electra.

1:25:14Davis Torgerson:What a fun fact this will be. Did any of you ever know that that was a movie? No, no, I didn't. It's not really my genre. Get good.

1:25:31Davis Torgerson:Where should we go? An intro to one of this skater's video parts. They're sweeping up a spot in a Judas Priest t-shirt. Fucking hell. What the fuck? I did it. Hell no. I've got it now. you guys are fucked can you narrow it down a bit it could it definitely could

1:26:03um

1:26:03Davis Torgerson:you guys want more oh yeah this skater had a cover ollieing through a tree oh fuck

1:26:28Davis Torgerson:Crickets. I'm glad it's not just me. This is good. Okay. We've made it to five clues. That's my goal. You guys can break my heart at any time now. Okay. This skater had a wheels of fortune in 411 issue 11. Damn. Fuck. I eliminated who I was thinking of. I don't have the encyclopedic knowledge of 411. But I've noticed some of your guests have. You didn't bring the whole set to Australia? On VHS? I did have it. But not in my luggage.

1:27:12Davis Torgerson:Okay. So what happens now? I just keep going. I got more, dude. I thought 5 was the limit and we were just gonna be here for the rest of our lives. Is there no other place you'd rather be? I know, I just thought this was it now. I just pictured purgatory different. Come back next week and we'll see if they've gotten it. But I'll still be here. These clues have not really helped in the past, but in the movie mid-90s... Oh, fuck. This skater plays a homeless man. What the fuck? What the fuck in movies, man? It's kind of sick. I gotta watch that movie. I know. I've seen that movie. I've been kind of burning all the mid-90s skaters lately.

1:28:08More? More.

1:28:10Davis Torgerson:Apparently that movie's really good. I watched it when it came out. I haven't seen it, but... Can't remember much. Couple of people I like a lot told me they cried to it. Because this skater's in it. Probably. I think. Because this skater's in it? Is that an actual clue? No, that's a facetious clue. Okay, okay.

1:28:39Davis Torgerson:This skater is originally from Ohio.

1:28:46Davis Torgerson:Yeah, sorry. Well, none of you guys are from the States, so it's fair game. Yeah.

1:28:57Okay.

1:28:59Davis Torgerson:We shall continue. This skater, another cover, had the cover of a magazine skating the rail at the Brooklyn Banks 9.

1:29:15Davis Torgerson:Pretty famous nine stair

1:29:24Let's keep going

1:29:26Davis Torgerson:Okay, need more this This skater's first board sponsor Was maple Of course

1:29:40Davis Torgerson:you gotta guess something here we're reaching we reached back a little bit here no one's got anything it's not very well is it no this is classic though it doesn't usually starts to heat up this is pretty classic now yeah yeah um this skater has had last part in a trans world video oh all right oh shit that's a big one last part in a trans world video how many more how many more clues do you have prepared i mean fuck i actually have like 12 more clues it's gonna start uh it's gonna start heating up within the next three or four i think this is fast becoming long form content

1:30:25Davis Torgerson:this is yeah this is your uh 28 minute video part

1:30:33Davis Torgerson:um all of the previous teammates are with the shoe brand etnies oh fuck all my fucking thought processes all previous teammates fuck what a waste of time all of the previous teammates well eric coston he was on etnies none of those teammates are with the food brand oh well they They were. They were. I'll say it was all at the same time. Holy fuck. And the next clue, speaking of Etnies, in the video Etnies High Five, this skater shared a part with Tyrone Olsen. Fucking hell, man. Holy shit. Someone's screaming at the fucking screen right now. We don't have a clue. Jesus Christ. You will soon. You will soon.

1:31:27Davis Torgerson:Will we kick ourselves? I feel like we will. That's going to be a recognizable name for sure. No, because these are pretty vague, right? I'm not given the obvious things yet. Oh, did we lose say? No, he's bad. Okay. This skater grew up in Arizona. Originally from Ohio, but grew up in Arizona. Thanks. Yeah, you're welcome.

1:32:04Fuck.

1:32:05Davis Torgerson:Say fuck it. I thought you were about to get this show. Okay. Scottsdale, Arizona. Was it Scottsdale, Arizona? Is it what? Don't worry. Okay, this skater speaking of covers had the cover of a 411 yo dude what the fuck

1:32:36Davis Torgerson:at one point this skater was homeless

1:32:43Davis Torgerson:does he play himself in the movie of mid 90s as the homeless guy

1:32:53Davis Torgerson:technically yes in a different time or is that or is that an easter egg no i think he he just you know by maybe by experience played a different homeless man oh yeah method okay let's get to the um good good stuff here name rhymes we're entering we're we're entering safer land right now because this skater had a pro setup in 411 issue 50. Let me throw one out. Chad Muska.

1:33:26Davis Torgerson:Oh, shit. It is Chad Muska. Chad Muska's a good shot. Fuck! I told you we were entering territory. I wasn't even fucking close to Muska. I was thinking Dan Murphy. Fucking all kinds of people. I had no guess, Dono, at all. I won't lie to you. At first, I was leaning Adrian Lopez. I am picking myself, not because I knew it, but because the last one of these I watched was with Alex Olsen and the previous teammates were Jamie Thomas, Eric Koston, and someone else, and it was Muska as well for that. God damn it. Yeah, they all wrote for Endys together. My next clue has appeared on TMZ. remember when remember yeah it was like yeah shit like that

1:34:25Davis Torgerson:zero to a hundred with those clues had a part famously omitted from a video um which was a good one thanks well that was fun i'm sad it's over now i'll miss it you thought you were stuck here forever like australia i'm missing it before it's even over it wasn't uh wasn't purgatory fun it was it was delightful thank you yeah you're welcome that was a good one good questions wow your knowledge is uh oh i mean elite it's not it's not necessarily my knowledge this is just google yeah well you must have yourself a good base knowledge to even ask the right questions it's like chat gpt i'm told everyone thinks it's really easy but apparently you need to ask actually ask the right questions what's funny is uh yeah i don't know why i haven't like dot like dug into using ai to just compile all of these questions um maybe i'm like still old school that way keep it old school i like it yeah yeah i like it i'm getting googly i wish i'd had a pen and paper with me actually because i forgot i forgot the previous teammates anyway well i guess i won't be coming back but it's been fun always a pleasure always a pleasure uh let us know how friday is let us let us know how what goes let us know how friday goes what's happening on friday i don't know you're there it's friday yeah it's still dave's joke so far it's been well yes yeah yeah see your time isn't as fun anymore i'm sure friday I'm sure Friday will continue to be lovely.

1:36:03Davis Torgerson:We're about to go skating. This last stretch will be a suitcases in the van right up to the airport thing. After paying admittance to watch Gabbers. No, Gabbers, as I said, I saw Gabbers last night. I highly doubt we'll see him again today. I saw Gabbers in that way in the evening that you know you won't see him.

1:36:28Davis Torgerson:You've got mail.

1:36:32welcome back to the post office brought to you by our good friends over at dickie skateboarding quality workwear since 1922 from the work site to the streets ain't nobody keep you fitted like dickies man and i go from the work site to the fucking streets to the couch every day man so

1:36:49Davis Torgerson:i know best ghost who we got up first all right first up we got an email from christopher blair what's up donovan and safea i want to talk about psl obviously safea is a bit biased since he's heavily involved but not really sure how i feel about it my initial reaction is that it seems like an antithesis of skateboarding the turn-based style or the turn-based system and the myriad of rules i find annoying for fuck's sake they got these skaters wearing jerseys and on top of it uh sorry i thought skateboarding was a celebration of everything that isn't mainstream so why are they mimicking mainstream sporting events i know you both really love sports so i would assume you're all for psl but do you see where i'm coming from has there been any resistance from the core skateboarding community at the professional level would love to hear your insights and thoughts love the pod thanks for all you guys do shout out cincinnati ohio did you guys enjoy your NFL game y 'all skated my local I was bummed I wasn't there hit me up next time big ups yo Chris from Ohio legend dude this is one of those things man I feel like we've gotten backlash in our earlier years for you know joining the sports world and the skate world and Jake Phelps said it best skateboarding don't owe you nothing people are free to do whatever they want with skateboarding man obviously being safer love this shit this is uh a competition that we really like watching you know it's obviously not for everyone and you're free to not like it but that's the thing like you don't have to watch it there's so much skateboarding there's so many different lanes of skateboarding uh just enjoy the one that you like man because a lot of people do like psl they find it entertaining and and i'm one of them yeah i couldn't agree more we always say that just like in the early days people would be hating on us for x y and z and it's like we always say no one put a gun to your head to listen to our podcast if you hate it turn it off or never turn it on to begin with If you don't like PSL, no one's forcing you to watch it.

1:39:14Davis Torgerson:But it's the same. Like skateboarding used to be this little thing. And it's just been growing and growing and growing. You know, Street League comes. X Games comes. We're in the Olympics now. There's always every new thing is met with some backlash. But whether PSL is around for the next 10 or 100 years, like who knows? it's you don't have to watch it if you don't like it but a lot of people are really enjoying it me and donald fucking love it we got a group chat fired up fucking every week and it's a fun time so if if you hate it to the point where it's just upsetting you bro just don't watch it forget you ever saw the jerseys there's a million parts coming out online every day of street shit skateboarding's for everyone and there's always going to be new shit and i understand that new shit's always met with resistance but we love it you're right about that and those are our thoughts and you're definitely entitled to your opinion no no hate whatsoever cincinnati was awesome uh hopefully we make it back one day dude i feel it too because you know when you there's something you love so much and it just changes a little bit and it drives you fucking crazy because it ain't what it was for sure and and people stick by this word core it always comes back to that's not core we hear this shit all the time but what the fuck is core anymore you know what i mean skateboarding has evolved to this crazy huge world we're part of it um dude i think there's room for everything and you know if you you're seeing all these other skaters loving this new thing maybe there is some good in it you know so you might not love it exactly right now but maybe one day you will and even then if you don't it's fine that it exists in skateboarding uh the many different worlds of it but yeah me and safer were fucking arguing till the wee hours of the morning on saturday because i went into the last matchup up 30 fucking points and uh lo and behold i ended up losing obviously spoke too soon which is what i usually do and then uh had to eat it shout out Sean, one of one.

1:41:24Big, regular big spin heel. Dude. Let's keep it moving. Next up, we've got an email from Craig S. If you believe in illegal tricks, then it should be age dependent. The younger or older, the more leeway. Thoughts. Agreed, but I would tend to say more younger. When you're younger, learn anything and everything you can. Because it's a stepping stone to something new. when you're older, you're more wise. You know what looks good and what looks bad. Don't be desperate for new tricks when you're old. Hold on to the good ones that you have. And that's all I'll say about it.

1:42:07Davis Torgerson:Agreed. And I used to have a thing where I'd see a young skater doing something that I thought was not a choice trick. And I'd be like, you know what? I'll let them know in a couple more years. but then I realized after a couple years it might be too late and Nolly Front 360 shoves are just in that person's bag maybe I should have said something when they were 14 instead of waiting for them to be 16 but it is what it is but yes, all the leeway when you're young all of it yeah, like hella young but then there's like a sweet spot where like you start to I think it comes from watching street videos It comes from watching like your local skaters that you look up to and just videos.

1:42:57Davis Torgerson:Something clicks in your head like, oh, I don't see this trick that I do that I think is super dope anywhere. Maybe I should rethink that. And it comes with like getting chirped by older people. It's a whole thing, but there's there's for sure leeway when you're younger. All right. Next up, we got an email from Jacob Cox. Sup, Bunt? it's jake from nc safe this might be lengthy my bad shout out of the week better go to dumpster dive from anti-hero gus gordon and finn pope fucking ripped nick matthews has the best style it's nuts ba burning down the banks in a hockey jersey like an og even tory pudwell was there if he stopped making thank you skateboards i'd be more stoked but i digress whoa um question fuck question to make it all worth it this guy just wanted to let that rant off and then squeeze in a question so that it would be read what two skate brand owners would you want to collab and do something different sorry say peace hey that was a perfect link no need to apologize ah did we shout out dumpster dive i feel like you did i i did i did yeah yeah yeah wicked front cook front crook heard around the world man yeah look at us finn pope was fucking unreal man um two skate brand owners to collab and make one

1:44:29Davis Torgerson:no just do something oh like it's actually a merger two skate brand owners would you want to collab and do something different i don't it's kind of vague i don't know if he means start a brand together or just collab yeah

1:44:47Davis Torgerson:we don't have too much time today so let me just fire this one off because it just happened and uh quarter snacks and dime are doing a drop together so shout out to two of our homies brands that are obviously epic brands and uh hype for the collab what if we went Thames and Blondie merging with Palace to create the ultimate UK collab. I also don't know if that's possible or anything, but from a fan point of view, that would be crazy. I thought you were about to go nuclear there and say Thames and fucking fuck. I'm blanking. Come on. Miami boards. Edgelord.

1:45:40Holy shit. No, I wouldn't do it.

1:45:46That's a good one, though. All right. Next up, we have an email from Waylon Petromoul. Who is your dream skater for PSL? It can be from any era of skateboarding. Mine would be Luis Lopez, as he has done. Don't flip tricks down sets. The big spin heel he sent over is a prime example of his prowess on stairs. Oh, dude, I forgot to tell you. I think that word you meant to say was antithesis of skateboarding.

1:46:15Davis Torgerson:Antithesis. What did I say? Antithesis. You said antithesis. I think it's antithesis, isn't it? Antithesis? How do you pronounce antithesis? Well, I don't know what word you're saying, bro. But anyways, who's your dream PSL skater?

1:46:40Davis Torgerson:I'm pretty sure I'm right. We'll find out. And Jesse's about to hit you again with Donald, the mispronunciation, God Strikes Again.

1:46:52Davis Torgerson:Wait, wait, what was the question? You sidetracked the hell out of me there. Oh, dream skater for PSL? Yeah. Fuck, man. it's got to be the first one that's coming to mind right now. Oh, I would love to see Shane O 'Neill in PSL. Whoa. Yeah. Damn. How do you argue with that? Shit. There's another one, but. Who is it? Who you got? I'm still thinking. Dylan Jabe. Yeah, that would be good. Holy shit. Is it just going to stick to the double set for season two? I guess nobody knows. Fuck. No one's coming to me. Oh, I don't know how consistent he is. This is for consistency gods. Oh,

1:47:47Davis Torgerson:I have another one. Okay, just drop three and then we'll keep it moving. TJ Rogers, who was supposed to be on your Wolverines. Dude. He got drafted by Jocelyn and he unfortunately had those two surgeries. So next year, hopefully. Okay. That's it. Okay. That was post office regular Wayland. All right. Next up, we got an email from Noah H. What's up, bunt? That story Louis told about Mickey Papa had me so heated, man. My wife and I were watching PSL and I told her to manifest him missing his tricks. Anyways, I've always been fascinated with the idea of skate houses. Seven, eight, nine skaters sharing a two-bedroom apartment just to afford a roof over their head while they're on the come up is some true dedication to the dream.

1:48:45Davis Torgerson:I didn't even know this was a normal thing until I started listening to the pod. Is there a skate house story from any previous guests that stands out to you guys? Whose do you think would have been the most fun to live in? Thanks, dogs. I appreciate you guys. And thanks for keeping us hyped on skating. Great question. That's crazy being oblivious to what a skate house is. Fuck. But glad we could get some stories from. Tony Tave. That's the skate house. That would be the one. I think that was like he like bought the house for the homies, right? Like a mansion or whatever. for himself and then everyone went and didn't pay rent and he lost it awful but like i feel like that was the height of circa as well skating was like reaching pinnacle levels um and those guys had a big part to play in it so i would say that would be sick dude like just being on those sessions in the circa era dude that's it oh i guess it's a little different because there was I keep mixing two crews because Grant was in that crew.

1:49:54Davis Torgerson:Yeah. There's Windsor James. But Appleyard was before. All those guys. No, no, no. I'm saying the Long Beach Boys, Darrell, because Grant was in with Darrell and Scott Cain. Yeah. But that's two maybe separate crews. But the Windsor James and all them at Tony Tave's house, that was probably so fun. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Okay. Mine's a little different. it's it's a smaller group but you'll remember this one well um one of the most iconic roommate situations ever was atiba oh yeah once atiba became single and then all of a sudden you got malto you got dylan reader and you got the nuge that's insane like those four those four dudes show up to the bar hopping up the uber like that's just you gotta watch the crew yeah That's a wicked one.

1:50:47And then obviously the most storied one, the America Mansion looked like it was fucking crazy. I don't think I can handle that. You got Heath just posted. And then the young bulls running amok.

1:51:00Davis Torgerson:Yeah, that one was crazy. Yeah, that one might be a little too hectic for me. Alright. You want to keep it moving? Yeah, last one. Last one. Next up, and we've got an email from Ezra

1:51:19Griffey Owen. I don't know. Quick and easy for you boys. There's lots of questions here so we're just going to go one by one. Who wins first? Sodi, Nija or Yuto?

1:51:34Yuto. It would be really hard for Nija to recreate that year that he had. I feel like

1:51:43Davis Torgerson:if they didn't give it to them that year it's hard to imagine they would so yeah I would say Uto as well and then the next one was Louis Lopez, Elijah Burrow or Zion well like potentially three runner ups already who's got it in them again shit I might say Louis Lopez man

1:52:07Davis Torgerson:I'm just going to go age based I'm guessing Zion's the youngest so I'll just give him the slight edge there but all three I would love for all three of them to win one but I'll just go Zion if we're placing bets and then sports championships Buffalo Bills or Maple Leafs it's gotta be the Bills man the Bills are there oh I heard about Austin Matthews out for the season I'm sorry got his knee popped Yeah, I'd go Bills. Steelers or Warriors?

1:52:44Wow.

1:52:45Davis Torgerson:That's not close. Not even close. The Warriors are on the decline like this, and the Steelers are already down here. So maybe they get to go up. Maybe the Steelers get to rebuild quicker. I'll go Steelers. McDavid or Matthews? it's gotta be McDavid team is still there knocking on the door so McDavid Luka or Ant-Man wow I want Ant-Man let's go I think there's a world where Ant-Man doesn't win a championship oh for sure I really hope he does though yeah I'd say Luka MVP, Drake May Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels Bo Nix I'm saying Caleb Williams

1:53:45Davis Torgerson:Yeah, well Drake May was second this year but you know what He'll never get there again Yeah, I think I think it's Caleb Williams but out of those four I would root for Jaden Daniels to get it And then Joe Burrow or Justin Herbert, I don't think that's Joe Burrow. Burrow? Yeah, seems more realistic, but I like the infrastructure at the Chargers maybe a little more now. They have like 75 mil in cap space. I think the Bengals, I think, just missed the playoffs three years in a row. I think that just kind of sneakily happened, and we don't think about that. Yeah, I mean... I might be tripping. It's insane that they should have won the Super Bowl.

1:54:34people forget that that was ripped from their hands yeah fucking penalty all right he's next i'll go herbert what what justin herbert for mvp over joe burrow i know joe burrow's better but i'm just saying top 10 of quarterbacks

1:54:56Davis Torgerson:joe burrow's got i know i'm just i'm just saying the infrastructure is there but the What infrastructure? You saw him just get killed in the playoffs. Like that was the best. I know, I know. They're going to beef up the O-line, get some receivers. I don't know. When? They didn't do that. That time has come and gone. They didn't get anyone. What the hell? All right. Anyways, he says, sorry, I don't have any UFC or PSL questions. Maybe you can think of a quick one for each other. Thanks and shout out. Ants won. Obviously, huge shout out to Ants won. okay that's gonna wrap up the post office for this week get your emails voice notes videos into the bunt live at gmail.com

1:55:47this is the rundown the skateboard world source for sports bro we're kicking it off in the nfl the Baltimore Ravens may have pulled off the greatest heist of all time. I feel like if this was in the NBA, a commissioner may have prevented this from happening. But last week we were ranting and raving about Max Crosby on the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks. The Raiders finally did something good. They got a great haul. But that slammy motherfucker in Baltimore, he decided you know i might need to keep these two first round picks when he realized he could sign trey hendrickson for free trades rescinded pick stay in baltimore they get the edge rusher they're looking for obviously hendrickson not quite max crosby but when he's free who's saying no

1:56:41Davis Torgerson:yeah i mean four years 120 or whatever he got but you mean like picks wise yeah um um slimy it's impossible for us to know if there was like malintent behind it but uh i like it for the ravens you get a slight downgrade and you keep your two picks that's huge and now max crosby's gonna end up getting traded at some point but for like a cheaper price tag potentially um i would love to see him end up in detroit it yo yeah him and uh the other big homie um blanking on his name right now Aiden Hutchinson that's a scary one too um another big domino that fell or maybe a little domino Kyler Murray ends up in Minnesota uh you said the man can't even see over the old line so how's he gonna fare um if i'm justin jefferson i'm at least happy that you know we have a bona fide nfl or in the building um kyler murray's seen some success at times is uh what is the ceiling for the minnesota vikings with kyler in town bro if we're going ceiling like Like, I think they could win a playoff game, maybe even two.

1:58:09Davis Torgerson:That's the ceiling. They're in the toughest division in football. I know, but, man, as someone who had J.J. McCarthy in fantasy and watched pretty much every snap, that was not – you said a bona fide NFLer for a reason, meaning J.J. McCarthy is not. So you get someone that – and, yo, let's not forget, Kyler was elite for two years. Well, yeah, Darnold too. But Kyler was elite for two years. He got hurt pretty bad and hasn't been quite the same. Maybe he hits the reset. Maybe he's fully physically healthy. I like it. I like it. Yeah, it's a no-lose situation. I think the whole NFL world and all the fans were assuming this was the logical destination for Kyler.

1:58:57He gets a fresh start with a bunch of weapons, a great coach. Yeah, good for him. Good for Justin Jefferson, who will now come back to fantasy relevance because, by God, that was a fucking awful year. Another quarterback on the move, Justin Fields. His stay as the franchise quarterback in the New York Jets franchise was as short as he probably wanted it to be. And now he's got one of the best jobs in the world. Patrick Mahomes' backup probably won't see much playing time, but he's going to get a lot of time in camp, probably good exhibition games preseason. He's going to be a great fill-in while Patrick Mahomes is out.

1:59:47Davis Torgerson:Yeah, because we don't know if Patrick Mahomes is playing week one yet or not. So You know, it's a nice little buffer Let him let him figure it out But that's someone that I was one of those like guys who was too late to the party of like Justin Fields May not be a starting NFL quarterback Like I always had hope and that's because we look at things from a fantasy perspective, right? Like you watch it and you're like, yeah, he's definitely not accurate and shit but like for fantasy you're like, yo, just give me those rushing yards and rushing TDs and and we're good to go. But, yeah, this seems like he's had more than enough chances.

2:00:23Yeah. And the last quarterback, well, maybe not the last one, but the last, like, maybe fantasy-relevant one, Kirk Cousins doesn't have a home yet. Is there a spot left in the league for Kirk?

2:00:36Davis Torgerson:Wait, did we talk Malik Willis last week? I can't. Oh, yeah, we did. We did. Kirk Cousins. Malik Willis went to Miami, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we talked about it. Kurt Cousins, who the fuck has an opening? Like, Gino going to the Jets is like, oh, the Steelers? Yo, give me that. No, you don't want that. Steelers, let's go get Captain Kurt. This is classic Steelers. You know I love. You would drag you guys to seven wins. I know but I would rather Kirk Cousins than Aaron Rodgers Like something Aaron Rodgers just bothers me So Kirk Cousins would be fun Like lose us Go crazy for fantasy Have a good season A fun season Entertaining games And just lose them all late And let's go get a fucking Franchise QB in the draft Yeah Jalen Waddle The Dolphins continue to dump players.

2:01:40Malik Willis goes to Miami, thinks he's got himself a bona fide one in Jalen Waddle. They end up trading Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos for a first and third, which is great value. Thoughts on the trade?

2:01:58Davis Torgerson:Immediate thought, that's huge for the Broncos. They were on the doorstep. I believe they win that game if Bo Nix is playing. oh for sure so you know you're you're a win away from the super bowl so go get yourself a beast to fucking be out there with courtland sutton and the boys malik willis is just where i'm just like i'm devastated for him i think he's on like a two-year deal or something and this is obviously a prove-it year but you can't do your fucking you're he's not a proven guy like you're supposed to kind of you want to surround someone in his shoes where it's like we just went to sign you as a backup as a project we believe in you you don't give them the worst quarterback room in the league so we'll see what they do at the draft but i hate that for malik because he could have gone to arizona they obviously go and get themselves a wide receiver in the draft but you kind of want that veteran wide receiver to help malik willis along jalen waddle soak up 12 to 14 targets potentially week in and week out.

2:03:02Now you go get a rookie. Who knows what he's going to pan into. It's a steep price to pay for the Denver Broncos as well. Like I never thought of their team as struggling wide receiver wise, but I guess now having him and Cortland Sutton as the one-two punch, that's great for Bo Nix. Sticking with the wide receivers, as A.J. Brown's future is continually murky in Philadelphia, they signed hollywood brown um does this make aj brown a mush trade now like is that a definitive

2:03:36Davis Torgerson:move or do we still not know i think i didn't even hear about that one breaking news for me uh i'd say that's probably the the last nail in the coffin there i mean every the last thing i read about it was that a trade was inevitable at this point even though it's taking a while and I believe if I had to guess I saw the Rams were making a push but those talks stalled out I still feel like he ends up on the Patriots oh that's what they're waiting to happen could be Dobbs is good but he's not that dude you know yeah they need help there for sure All right, let's move over to PSL for just one minute.

2:04:22We watched elimination week go by three absolute beatdowns. I think in most shocking fashion, Los Santos somehow finds themselves on the outside looking in of the playoff picture, and they are done. Eliminated. Los Santos and Lithium. They went 2-0 and then lost three straight. Just devastating for what could have been one of the best rosters top to bottom in the league. Yeah.

2:04:56Davis Torgerson:So just as much as I think I know what I know about skateboarding, coming out of the draft, I was like, wow, my favorite two teams, if I have to pick one to win it all, I'm going Los Santos. I was like, they got the depth. They've got like amazing top end talent and a deep bench like you got descenzo and stuff coming off your bench That's huge. So I'm like, that's my picked one at all. And I was like, yo, deshaun jordan's my mbp of the whole league Was zaxaracina one of the best jumpers i'm like that's my that could be the finals right there Those are my top two teams lo and behold There's six teams in the league the only two to miss the playoffs or the two I picked to be in the finals insane but that made up for some fun storylines but I still can't believe that and the crazy thing is that switchback heel that huge moment, that switchback heel ended up being the nail in the coffin like Lithium didn't make the playoffs either but that, defending that switchback heel stopped them from getting to 3-2 and essentially ended their season which is crazy to think back on that is crazy holy shit um obviously we've done a lot of talking about PSL over the last few weeks but I need to find out like this is these are the type of contests that can take a relatively unknown person and just throw them into the limelight of skateboarding and I think with the PSL experiment last year the one night extravaganza uh it made a superstar out of arc cordova like from relatively unknown to holy shit this guy is uh incredible who is that for you through five weeks of this first official season of psl um i'm gonna go with defense dufreen i was familiar with him but seeing his defensive displays was just unreal as someone who has Had the pleasure of skating that park a couple times They just make it look like they're skating off a curb sometimes like certain guys like him It's like it's just fakie front big like whatever like oh front three I know he did the splits, but I think he did it one week, but just I can't even rifle off all the tricks, but If you just put up a highlight reel of everything he landed first try That's always the most mind-blowing thing is like, how do you have that many flip tricks that you can land down a four flat four first try?

2:07:36Davis Torgerson:So as much as I was already a little familiar with him, seeing the Thrasher part and stuff, seeing him every week in the league, I was like, yo, this guy is built different. For me, I obviously talk a lot about Christian Jordan. he has become like the staple of the Wolverines, the most consistent, unlimited bag. But over the five weeks, we've seen John one of one get better and better. And this past week was just a dominant display of his capabilities. So I just had to shout him out. It was John one of one for me. Absolute legend. And I can't wait to see where he takes his game into the playoffs, man.

2:08:21SHS, they're getting better, man. And I think they found the three that they need to have start. And I truly think that these games are being won in the first inning of, like, who can snap harder and get all their tricks off in the first inning.

2:08:39Davis Torgerson:Yeah, because it's harder to, like, you're trying harder and harder tricks as it goes along, so less and less points get scored. Definitely agree on that. But one thing I'll say about John one of one in the contest as a whole is just like sports Sometimes you have someone on your fantasy team or whatever that makes you like the more like John one of one I never I don't want to say it's not like I disliked him but I always I was aware of him, but I wasn't like a John one of one fan You know I'm saying like he always looks like he has this angry face like and then seeing him just like do this shit and smiling and the whole i'm like oh this dude like the whole thing just made me a huge fan of him so uh that was a cool thing that i wasn't expecting coming out of uh uh pso yeah we will say that was your boy remember we used to chirp you wait what one quick thing what was the how did that all how did he become your boy on the pot yo it's because there was another john that we were gonna interview or you shouted out and i was like yeah john one of one and you're like no that's a different john oh fuck who was it fuck i wish i remembered that yawn yeah that was funny but that was like something it was it was uh the homie who went to detroit and stayed with justin bowl and that was the connection if we were going to interview him yawn something anyways oh john perez yeah maybe yeah and i was like yeah john one of one i fuck with him and you're like that's a different person yeah and that was like a year or two ago and ever since then john one of ones your main man and now he's incredible um we'll save predictions for next week as we inch closer to the actual um finals but who would be your first on the board next season who's your first overall pick this year was undoubtedly Deshaun Jordan but now with captains stay the same the field is the same who's the first overall pick I might I might have to go with Art oh Ginwu's been out for a little bit You forget about the powers.

2:10:58But, yo, just for swag, I'm going Art Cordova.

2:11:03Davis Torgerson:Yeah. Or, I mean, you can't go wrong with either Ginwu or Art. Dude, I think that I go Christian Jordan, man. Yeah. It's impossible. He's so good. I never even heard of him. He's also young. Yeah. He's also young. Another year. The jumping doesn't tire him or get to him. I mean, I think the other two guys are similar as well. So I think you'd have all three of those guys will be in the running for first overall pick. I think this was the last you'll ever see of getting some sort of value out of Gin Woo in the deeper rounds. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. All right. That's going to wrap up this week's episode of The Bunt.

2:11:46Y 'all know where to find us next week. Inching closer to the finals of PSL. Go Raptors. Let's stay in the top six. They're fucking slipping, dude. Slipping.
