Back 15-20 years ago, Ed and his homies would go around to all the OC parks on Christmas day and give away boxes of product to all the kids. Hell, he might still do it this day. The man is a true legend.

Skateboarding is so young, I'm glad my idols are starting to realize we're at a point where the history needs to be filled in with the story portion. Skateboarders connect with professional skaters in a way people don't realize, it's nothing like the typical fan/athlete connection. I went from Chris Cole and Andrew Reynolds as idols on my walls growing up, to Chris Cole and Andrew Reynolds as proper role models in the fatherhood department when it comes to raising my 5 year old son. We're fortunate that you guys want to share a lot of personal history on these subjects.

Welcome to Hell reunion tour would be so sick

Ed should be proud of himself being such a legend in skateboarding and successful in the art world to. Jamie also deserves a lot of credit for his success in business as well.

Hey Jamie i've met you twice. First time was when you were on King of the Road, 2004 in Carbondale Co. Second time was in Boulder Co in 2007 I think. Each time you took the time to talk to me and it felt like I was just talking with another friend. Those exchanges have made a huge impact on me and I just wanna say thanks. You're a genuine guy, and a inspiration.

Ed Templeton is the man! Definitely made it a little easier for skateboarders to break the “cool guy” mold and be comfortable expressing their true selves! Idol!

Get Elissa steamer in here man!!!

I really like how you bring the podcast to the guest.. cool to see these guys in their own environment.

Nice. Mr.Thomas man it’s what so many people wanted for so long...

Thomas with Ed! Unstoppable! The chief has had an impressive roster so far.

I'm loving the new show, Jamie! It would be awesome to see a Welcome to Hell reunion show with everyone from the video together for a group interview.

Toy Machine circa 1996 Iconic duo right here

Very cool to hear about skaters getting older. Especially enjoyed the part about themental aspects of skating large rails.

Ed is always open and thoughtful in interviews. Jamie made this one feel so natural and true to life.

I met Ed twice, once at a demo in Sweden and once at Sants in Barcelona. Both times he was super cool, humble and inviting. One of my all time favourite skaters, but for sure one of my all time favourite humans.

Jamie, if you read this your pod cast is fucking awesome. I'm 31 and getting to know the history behind the skaters of my time is amazing. I couldn't imagine being 16 and having this kind of behind the scenes stuff in the early 2000s. Keep em coming please

Jamie Thomas had the best nine club interview in my opinion. And I’m glad he’s getting in on the action.

My two all-time skateboarding heroes having a conversation that I can listen to! This is truly amazing, you guys have been an inspiration to me since the mid 90's and I still love that you're both doing awesome stuff to this day. ZERO & TOY MACHINE FOR LIFE!

ED!!!!! SO Glad to have been a Witness to Toy.... Thanks IMMENSELY, Jaime!!

That was Awesome, loved Ed describing his departure from constant skating, nice to know other people feel the same pain when they know there body is done, from injury or old age. Great work Jamie, would love to see Ethan Fowler on here one day.

Good work Mr.Thomas. Ed was the first pro I saw at my local skatepark in Omaha Nebraska. He did a back nose blunt down the hunba that changed my life lol

The demo talk got me so hyped. I think it was around ‘02, you and the Zero crew did a demo in Indianapolis at an ice rink. My friend, Buddy, turned his Civic into an across and down flat rail and Trainwreck was going off, just pure insanity. At that point, it was one of the rawest, grass roots demos that I had seen in a long time. This series is taking me back, man. Keep it up 👊🏻

Tht back to the city contest story was amazin😊

ed cracks me up... I remember meeting both ed and vallely at a demo in new berlin wi.... loved this one..

This is so good, and I'm only 45 minutes in. I started skating in '96, and mostly because I thought I could be as cool as the Toy Machine ads were. They were the craziest, the most fun, the most unpredictable things I'd ever seen and it just seemed like that's what skateboarding, and life in general, should be. When my neighbour got a copy of Welcome to Hell sometime in '97, I mean, none of us could believe our eyes... We went absolutely nuts. At like 10 or 11 at night, we snuck out to skate and eventually started manualing down the road with our tails on fire from rubbing alcohol, and just generally being idiots. It was absolutely "anything goes" and it was one of the very best teenage memories I made, and certainly the most free I'd ever felt at that point. We were all so amped from that video. There was a lot to get excited about in skateboarding then, but Toy Machine topped it for me (and still does, 22 years on). Thanks for this video, and for everything, guys.

Ed templeton trying to be all humble and Jamie been in super fan mode!!! It’s amazing great bit of footage of em both!!!

2 of my favorite legends. So stoked that this podcast exists

The camera angles are soooo much better in this episode. Not constantly switching is a big improvement. The conversation in every episode, have been phenomenal!

Hearing the legends talk about the difficulties of getting older is honestly refreshing, 38 with messed up hips, but just want to roll around and have fun whether I’m even popping the board or not, hope you both keep it up as long as possible!

Get Crob on for a serious interview of him for once aha

Met Ed at a toy machine demo in ~2006, they which was such a highlight for me all around, even moreso to film right next to their filmers. still have footage of Ed doing a noseblunt across & down a hubba at the san diego ymca park. Thoroughly enjoying these interviews & insights into these legends from a time when skating was my life. Keep the great work coming Jamie!

I'm so psyched about this channel and all the interviews you are/will be doing. Honestly, super refreshing and so nice to see legends I grew up looking up to see where they at now. Good times!

Nice to see Ed! Feels like years since I've seen anything for this dude. One of my first favorite skaters!

Thank you so much for this. Two legends !

What a good day off. New thrill of it all to top it off. Thank you Jamie and a big thanks to Ed for always being the shit.

Jamie this is awesome man. I enjoy having another show to look forward to.

I'm enjoying it. You have an insight that is your own, experiences that are your own, and relationships with these individuals that are uniquely your own. I love it. I'm a skaterat that grew up watching all of you skate and am genuinely interested in these stories. I've worked in skate shops almost my entire life, and have now owned and operated my own skate shop for twenty years, and this June marks my 40th year of riding skateboards. I can attest to the fact that it gets harder and harder to skate , and it is hard to cope with waning skills when your whole life has been evolved around something you're so deeply passionate about. I find these stories inspiring. You just keep doing what you're doing Jamie. We love ya!

Ed is one of my fav skaters all time. Jamie is up there, too. At different times growing up my walls were plastered with their ads and pics from skate mags. What struck me listening to Ed is how much he doesn't realize his impact. I can sort've understand a different perspective as he lived it versus we watched it. But man, if I had a chance to sit down with Ed some day and tell him face to face how much he meant to my friends and me growing up, I don't know that I'd get through it without shedding some tears. Dude is straight up inspiring on many levels. I don't know that I've seen a more genuine person. He doesn't hide shit or act a certain way. He is who he is and lives on his terms. That in and of itself is why I love the dude. Thanks for the great interview, Jamie!

Man, Ed meant so much to me growing up. Always reppin the kids who think for themselves and liked being who they were even if they were misfit skate punks. Even toward the end of his career he motivated me to keep pushing my limits on a skateboard. The guy even responds to my Instagram messages about his HB pier photos and toy machine stuff. Crazy awesome guy.

Skip pronier was my best friends older brother when i was growing up. I thought it was sooo cool we got to ho skate with such a legend! Growing up in hb in the 90s was the best!

Dude thank you. Cant get enough of these interviews. Please get tommy on!

Ed will always be synonymous with skateboarding. To me, Ed has always embodied skating and how it should be. I was in school as a skateboarder before it was cool, and I remember people clowning me for how I looked and my gear and shit. I also remember never being bummed on it because Ed Templeton thought it was rad, and Ed was infinitely cooler than the jocks who talked shit at my dumpy midwest highschool. Dude also has a killer style. I still watch his skate parts to get hyped or if I feel unmotivated.

Love ed. His noseblunt in 1281 blew my mind

Outstanding. Blown away with this one. Ed's the man. Killin' it Jamie! Keep up the good work.

I absolutely love what you're doing. Thank you.

Great interview. This is becoming my new favorite show/podcast. Keep up he good work.

I agree good day off for me as well now i get to watch "thrill of it all", on a tuesday lol !!! Ed, always admired his art and of course all the brand toy machine and their skate videos.. So far so good Chief im looking forward to whose next on the show

Soooooooooooooo GOOD - could watch and listen to ED and Jamie all day long ...thanks for that!!!!

Omg I love Skaters so much. They are Everything to my adolescence.

Jamie please do more podcasts!! Your better at it than you think you are!! Your a legend

i love this. 2 of my all time fav skaters here. id love to see you chat with Elissa Steamer about being a girl in the game back in the day.

Quite entertaining :) I like what you're doing and I think you're getting better at it. Good luck, can't wait for MOAR.

Jamie...much love bro but you gotta stop interrupting so much. Multiple times Ed was about to go off on a story but your question or comment stopped it. Thanks for the free content!!

good job jamie, youre getting better at interviewing every episode... I love skateboarding and things like this remind me of how much i love it

Was very excited to hear you were going to be doing this. Old friends talking about skateboarding, nothing better.

You and Ed are my childhood inspiration in the middle of nowhere back in early 2000's where everything comes late (Europe, Poland). Two legends meet. Thanks! Keep killing it

Ahhhh yaaaaa. Thank you once again chief. My drive in to work was a good one because of this. ❤️👊🏻

Ed is one of the most adorable people in the world. Such a good person. Just recently bought his board and I already have one on my wall nex to Carroll and Reynolds. About to add Jamie also. These guys should never worry about putting their names on a board. People will forever keep buying their boards. People still buy Pele's jersey or Jordan jersey etc. When I walk into a skate shop I just look for their boards. When you did so much work you should simply be appriciated forever.

Templeton you are the man, been watching your forever

Great interview, especially with your history together. Im a huge fan of Ed and have heard a lot of his stories from seeing/reading tons of his interviews over the years but still feel there was lots in this one he hadn't talked about before.

Chief I hope you start these back up! I know the stories are told multiple times in some cases but simplify the concept if you need. Remember there are other things to talk about that we'd all watch and could be successful. Each guest has their special side thing they love as much as skating. And you're the ultimate host to do so.

Yay!!! You've had the best guests so far! Please keep 'em coming, Chief!

Great interview. Ed is the MAN!

Really enjoyed this episode. I was hoping Ed would talk a little bit about TV Skateboards and his friendship with Mike Vallely. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks Jamie!

Two of my favorite skaters of all time. Such an awesome conversation. “Welcome to Hell” was the first skate video I ever bought. Just thinking about it makes me want to go skate.

I skated at the little hb skate park at the highschool with the pirmind and two blocks you riped it up and then just took off you guys where my favorite skaters growing up it cool to hear you rap the good ol days haha

When Ed Templeton says at the end of the video that he believes he could have done more in "Welcome to Hell," I believe him. I wanted him to. He has ALWAYS been a gnarly sk8ter. F$cking legend. I remember my first introduction to him at 12 years old on Nickolodean Skate TV. Dude is a RIPPER.

Just finished the whole interview this was incredible thank you Jamie Thomas and Ed templeton for representing the true passion of skateboarding

I like the ever changing backgrounds keep up with the show bro it's rad

Best one yet. So glad they didn't cut it short. It would be sick if Jamie had first part on the next Toy Machine video! Thank you.

Such a sweet, heartfelt, humble conversation between two legends. Loved it.

God damn - Templeton being all “I guess I could have done more; were you bummed on my effort?” is so wild to me. He discounts so heavily that which actually makes him so compelling to watch only because it seems to have come naturally to him. I mean, set aside that he is the motivating force behind Toy Machine and thereby directly making better the lives of the many, many admirable riders who have been on his teams, he was doing most of that while he had an honest and humble go at being an artist. It’s as if a gifted musician looked at the other musicians around him and decided that maybe he was a fraud because he was naturally gifted instead of needing to scratch and strive for every gain. I hope he really listened when Jamie was nearly baffled at his self-deprecation, though Ed’s humility and near inability to properly gauge what it is about him and his efforts that draws in so many. It’s okay to back off skating after nuking your shin and not wanting to become crippled - if anything, we just want to see Ed in his element, on a board - not hitting 10 stairs or whatever.

This is so rad! Keep em coming Chief.

These just keep getting better and better. Having the little video clips in there is an awesome addition. Keep up the great work Mr. Thomas.

Ed talking about not skating was the realest shit I've heard in a long time . Fuckin tears

Brilliant brilliant, right from my era, in 48 and still skate.............

Cannot believe how small you still are! Epic interview. Love the stache, keep rockin JT!

i am very impressed that you filmed this on the same day as the muska interview (i couldn’t tell at all) and i love the conversation style you’re going with. you are so transparent about everything, and that is very admirable and important for younger viewers to build their self-esteem up, because you show them that it is ok to be human and you don’t try to play up some facade - you are the man!

Wow! Best one yet. Keep up the good work, dudes. Had to pick up the special edition shirt for this one. Welcome to Hell was my first video and first exposure to non "Xgames" skateboarding as a kid, and my mind was blown. So glad to get to hear this discussion go down.

This is so rad. Thanks for both of you doing this.

get the whole Toy team with Muska included for the reunion tour and come to Venezuela, it would be a miracle to this land, Welcome to hell is the biggest sk8 videos of all times here in Venezuela. awesome show J. laughs and tears

I remember seeing Ed at the old HB park do an impossible over the center gap in 98. My best memory of skating as a kid. It was like seeing a celebrity after watching so many toy machine/zero videos.

Loving this podcast so far. I really like how every episode is set a different scene and just a casual conversation.

🦅 2 eagles talking 🦅

I got really hopeful to hear a Jamie-Ed conversation on philosophy and religion after minute 1:29:28. This was such a good episode!

I like when your questions feel intuitive. Hearing two legends talk about interesting stuff: nothing better!

A jamie thomas cast??? How has this not blown up ?

damn, imagine if JT had chosen to get on the original FLIP team (which was epic)... skateboard history would be 4ever changed in many ways...

Why are these not a thing anymore. I I watch these for the love of it all...

Super real conversation, really rich content guys - every episode gets incrementally better. loved being a fly on the wall for this. Love Ed, Jamie and Toy Machine especially welcome/jump off days

Thank you for these awesome podcast and bring the reunion tour to Louisville, KY!

Awesome love Ed’s art! You should get Jacob Stokley on the show

These two guys help to change skateboarding in the 90s mad respect

Yes!!! Been waiting for this! Love both of you guys 🤘🏾

Toy Machine was one of my favorite companies growing up because of the aesthetic. This was great.

Thank you Jamie and thank you Ed!!! Love this new show for REAL!!!

omg..... soo, good.... thanks guys.....Meet u back in the day in Birmingham, Jamie... really digging this

THANK YOY JAIME. NATURAL COMUNICATOR

I really enjoyed this interview. im sure its prob been brought up but sometimes you just gotta fade back and steer the person you interviewing towards speaking more vs interjecting. it only happened a few times overall but it started to stand out a bit. with that said : I really enjoy the show alot. I definitley appreciate little pics and clips to go aling with the moment because maybe some dont know they key visuals for the things beimg talked about etc. Also if it means anything i think the feel of this show is way different from 9 club in a good way. keep doing what you do jamie this shit was fun to listen to and i think we all wanna see more!

When Ed said "let's do lines", I swear for a moment I thought he meant coke especially since they were talking about how this dude did whatever he want and I'm pretty sure drugs or booze were in play. But yeah, kind of cracked me up. Great interview
