Hey everybody, it's Jason Ellis, the CEO of Father Grind. Are you old and feeling about feeling like it's time to give up on your life? Because you're too old to skateboard? Well guess what?
That's a lie. Stop being a pansy and get up and go. Get the Father Grind video and learn how to shred because you're never too old to skate. I'm 52 and I'm way better than all of you.
But I did it the dumb way and I'm here to teach you the safe way. We're selling pads, we've got shoes, we've got grip tape, we've got trucks, rise of pads, wheels, bearings, bolts, a skate key. I'm going to teach you how to set up one of these bad boys. The Father Grind Jason Ellis special right here built by Paul Schmidt.
And if you want to learn to skate like Ian Fide-Ants, you can skate. That guy is useless and now he is a shred machine. Do you think you're useless? Do you think you're old?
It's a lie. They've been telling you lies. The government is lying to you. Listen to Jason Ellis.
These are the facts. You can shred, get your friend, get another old dude, get an old girl. Don't call her that, but you guys can go skate together and you'll have big smiles on your face like your children and Santa's here. Look everybody, it's Santa and he's shaped his head and got a wolf tattoo on his head.
And he's bringing gifts in the shape of skateboarding. Father Grind, get it. It's out June 2024. Make sure you get it.
Make sure you live your life to the fullest. Don't die old and pissed. Die old but young in your soul with a big dumb smile on your face. Father Grind.com.
Don't shake the microphone too much. Oh yeah, you're right. I remember last time. No!
No! Oh my God! Oh my God! Sorry, I won't do it.
Do you have another thing I can play as a guitar? Are you shaking me around? Because guess what? I'm a fan.
Oh man. Finally somebody that rolls with the fan jokes. That's right. A girl bought me this.
Really? I was like, here's a fan. I was like, let's really get to know me. And then she was like, I gotta go.
Can I hold that staff with a dragon on it? Yeah. Did she go, Jason? This is your only fan.
And then she went, get out. I didn't know how to do that. I didn't know how to do that. I didn't know how to do that again.
This is so cool. Did the fan do it again. Oh man, teach me. Let me, let me, let me, let me.
You gotta hold it like this and snap. Oh, it farts when it opens. Yeah. Dude, you've done that a lot.
It's called being gay, Jason. Oh. It's part of the ballroom. There it is!
Oh, I feel like I have Jafar's staff. Whoo! Who's Jafar? That's with me, Jasmine, from Aladdin.
Live in London, Aladdin. It's a cartoon, right? Yeah, I don't think I watched it. Really?
He flies a magic carpet, right? Aladdin does, yeah. He doesn't really need a necessary to call it magic. I mean, it's flying.
And what else does it do? Because if it doesn't do anything else, then it's just a flying carpet. No, it helps out in situations. And he points with his little tassels.
What are you doing, McCone? What are you doing, McCone? You're supposed to do it. You want me to adjust it with my staff?
Everything you do is dumb. That's Jafar. See, look at his little snake staff. I like him.
I like Aladdin, though. I love Jasmine. I like his girlfriend, too, yeah. She really stepped me off on it.
I mean to that. I mean to Tanned Women. I was just going to say Tanned Women with bad asses. You and I are into a lot of similar things.
For one Tanned Women. Yes. For two, skateboarding. Yes.
We're super into that. I am now a skateboarder. You are a skateboarder, dude. And I'm so into it.
You make me want to skateboard more. Because you have fun. And when you get good, you only have fun. There's like the only thing you're ripping.
Yeah. You have fun all the time. That's what skateboarding. That's what I like about skateboarding.
Because now that I'm not that good at all, you're good. So it's always fun. Yeah. You don't have to go to the vera, because I still have to go to the vera to do cool tricks to have fun.
Not when I'm with you. I don't even have to skate. I can just watch you and have fun. I love that.
I watch Tony Hogskate. It's fun. But it's not as much fun as watching you skateboard. It isn't.
Oh my God. What a delicious compliment. And he is one of the people that I would say loves skateboarding more than any other human I've ever met. Right now at this particular juncture, I think he loves skateboarding more than him.
Dude, it's all I've been thinking about. We got to get. It shows. We got to get Tony with us.
The three of us. You should be on Hulk versus Wolf. Oh, yeah. When I come and do that, well, I get to show him my tricks on the vert.
No, I don't think you should show him anything on vote. What about the thing that I... We're not ready for that. But we did a mini-bolt.
A mini-ramp. What if we go to a mini-ramp? He has cordopipes in the back behind the ramp that are bigger than that mini-ramp. And if you drop it off there, that's your next step.
Which makes a lot of sense. It's two. One's pretty big and then another one's a little bit bigger. Still, don't think it's the jump from that to the vert.
It's not a good idea. But the two mini-ramps in the back, the two cordopipes in the back, you drop in on them. You're ripping. Yes.
I want to. I'm telling you, since we started skating on Monday, Sunday, I have been thinking about it non-stop. It shows. Last night at the Comedy Store, me and Chappelle, Lacey, we shredded.
He got his shirt. He got his board out of his car. I got mine out of mine. I put on my helmet and pads and everyone made fun of me.
But I said, there's nothing funny about safety. Yeah. Because there's something fun about safety. And you get to go skateboarding the next day.
And how fun is it when you can't skate the next day because you busted your ass? Dude, and it makes me shred harder because I'm more willing to take risks. It helps me be fearless. I might wear pads when I do comedy.
Or helmet, at least. Well, the audience should wear some sort of protection. If you say myself. They should wear ear plugs.
That is totally fair. No, I've never seen you stand up. I'm pretty good now. Yeah.
Yeah, I got way better. Nice. That's great. Yeah, I'm a killer.
Yeah. All right. I'm going to do a quick picker. I think I'm better.
Really? Yeah. Wow. I think I was born to be a stand up comedian, but I found skateboarding.
Interesting. Yeah. I had no idea. I had an idea.
Yeah. But it just seemed like I wanted to do sports. I think skateboarding first was good for you because you hit your head so many times you would think that you're actually going to comedy. You might be right.
I mean, I think people are laughing, but it could be enough to get a lotion because I hit my head so much. I could get off sometimes. I'm like, man, I think I just killed. Yeah.
Maybe nobody, maybe I was saying boo, but I thought I was annoying. Ah. I don't know. So that's what I was going to do.
It was a bunch of clubs called me and said, do I want a headline? No way! After I did a set before a proper headline. That's great.
So that means- What club? So that's awesome. Really? That doesn't have brain damage.
She said, no, it is true, it is true. They did call and then I'm going. Bro. It's amazing.
Yeah, I've got 16 shows headlining. Shut up. I'm going on tour Friday. Where?
I'm going to where am I going? I'm going to Brixtown. Uh-huh. Yeah.
You're going to Tulsa. Brixtown. In Oklahoma City. Brixtown.
Whoa. Dude, that's awesome. Awesome, good for you man. This is my, this is my, this is the beginning.
Yeah. It's the first time I've ever been, usually it's a friend that goes, hey, man, do you wanna tell jokes before me? That's how it happens. And the cop goes, sure dude, you can do it.
But this time they were like, hey, come on. Bro. We like your stuff. That's awesome.
That's how it starts. That's what it is. Yeah, here we are. And then you do the thing that I see you in your story, where you fly there and you tell jokes and you get in a car and you drive to the one near there and you tell more jokes.
And then you stay in another hotel room and then you go, yeah, yeah, we're doing it. It's real dog in it. I'm road dog in it. We are road dog in Shredder.
We are road dog in Shredder. Man, I feel so cool that because you, now you're a shred dog. And I'm a road dog. And you're already a road dog.
Look at that. And I was already a shred dog out there with all like synergized. Yeah, that's great business. And you've got to synergize.
You've got to synergize. That's like a thing that like Corber people talk about and I hate it when they say it. Like synergy, think about it, Jason. I'm like, God shut up you, Kook.
Dude, I like it. Also, I pick that up from you. You've been saying Kook and I call someone a Kook today. It's good.
Yeah. Yeah. It's one of the things. Well, Road Dog and Shred Dog.
Road Dog and the Shredder. The dogs. The dogs. Oh, oh, oh.
He said we can we do it? He still owns it, right? Oh, damn it. Barking?
Yeah. He doesn't own barking. He could if he's I mean, if he was alive and he's like, I own barking, I would not do. Then then, you know, he's a dog.
Huh? He skated one time with Bucky Lassick and Bucky Lassick said he told him had a pump on a vert ramp with timberlands on and he pumped and did a kick turn in like five minutes. That's awesome. He was like, dude, the guy has natural ability.
Wow. And that's Bucky Lassick, one of the greatest skateboarders to ever skateboard. I did it in five minutes. You are.
You did today. We were in a hurry today where I was going to teach you because here's my thing. I heard when you were going to do this thing. This is just so you know everybody.
I'm doing a trick to video on how to skate if you're older and how to learn how to skate and not get hurt. Because I think that skateboarding these days when you try to a lot of people message me from Hawk versus Wolf saying, Hey man, I'm older. I want to skate or I used to skate. I want to get back into it.
And it's always about doing kick flips or nose slides. And I'm like, dude, don't do that. Like if you try to get into skateboarding when you're older, there's another side of skateboarding that doesn't involve oleying stairs. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.
I'm just saying when you get to a certain age, doing handrails is a bad idea. It's no like you're not going to make it. And even if you do, it'll be in a couple of years from now. And by then you probably won't be able to walk to.
You just need the handrail to actually walk up the stairs. It's not going to work out. But if you skate bowls, you learn how to carve, you wear pads, you have a wider board and wider trucks. You can learn to cruise and have fun.
And that's what skateboarding is. Stop being a hot dog. It's so fun. Everybody's on social media.
I got fat lips. Look at my bank account. Look at my jewelry. You're all posters.
You all cry in the mirror more than I do. I never look in the mirror. I cry by myself into my hands. And also want to Instagram.
Like a man. And what? And also want to Instagram. Not anymore.
You got to chill with that. I know, I know. I know. How's it going through it, dude?
Yeah. Well, keep it to yourself. I want people to see. Why?
Because nobody's business. Hey, you're right. Keep it to yourself. Call me.
Call a shred dog. They always tell me to as well. You know? Yeah, I know.
Well, I stopped. I stopped crying. I mean, that's the truth. Well, you could still cry.
Yeah, I cried. I cried. It's not an Instagram. It's good to cry.
I'm doing really good. I'm sober. I'm doing really good. I'm so happy to hear that.
Things are feeling good energy upon you. Things are turning around. Yes. That's right.
They're kick turning around. Yeah. Yeah. That's an escape.
What is the trip tick video called? Jason and... Father Grind comes out in July. June.
I don't know the dates of the year. Okay. So Jason has a video coming out. A trip tick.
Trick, tip. Trick, tip. Trick, tip. Trick, tip.
Trick, tip. Yeah. You're watching on the skateboard. Jason taught him how to skateboard, and you guys can learn how to skateboard too if you get this video.
So look out for it. The Instagram is the father grind if you want to follow us and stay up to date on it. Yeah, but I'm really excited about it because worst case scenario, it doesn't turn into a huge thing, but I guarantee you, just like when I talked about gay stuff, it wasn't hundreds of thousands of people that I helped, but I did help a few people and that was worth it. I think that at least five, maybe 10 worst case scenario people on the planet will learn how to skateboard and get the joy that Ian got out of it by watching these videos.
I feel pretty good about it. Bro, you're such a good instructor and it was so fun and I'm thinking about it nonstop. And even today, when we left the park and I had to walk to my car, I skated there and I realized when I put my foot on the board, I go make sure to do the trucks like Jason said, and I had gotten better at adjusting my because you taught me the mechanics and the basics. It's the fundamentals jumping on.
That's what took me away from skateboarding is all my friends could do this stuff. Nobody taught me and I just hopped on and tried and I sucked. I'm the Tim Duncan of skateboard coaching. Big fundamentals.
Yes. You know, that's what they call it, right? Really? Tim Duncan, the NBA trivia for everybody in case.
You didn't see that coming, did ya? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Jay's Cakes knows about Tim Duncan.
They called Tim Duncan big fundamentals. Yeah. It's kind of a diss. He's slow, but he did stuff where it just worked.
It was like you. Yeah. We call him a lassist Jason. He's so bit delicious.
Okay. Bro, these two days skating has been so fun and I just want to do vert side. I don't want to be a street skater. I don't want to do tricks and stuff.
Like that would be cool, but it is like carving that ball was so fun and hearing everyone cheer and like see it like not doing it like I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm dropping in on that and pumping and then doing a kick turn that was awesome. That was the big one because today I was like that Rams too big for you for where you're at.
And then it was like hey we really want to try to get him to drop in and go over the hump and then do a kick turn. And I was like man how much time do I have and bring in and I was like 30 minutes and I'm like oh I would have preferred an hour. Maybe two, but okay. And then I pushed you and then you did it.
Dude you kicked ass and he did it in a way where it wasn't easy, but you fought it. And that's like that's like the joy that you get from skateboarding when you're like I'm not sure. And then there's like that hesitation and then there's also the element of pain man. Like people don't realize when you know if I do it wrong I get rejected getting rejected try try busting your ass like actual pain immediate pain from not doing it right.
There's a stress there. There's like a thing of pressure that you can't describe. And if you conquer it you feel like you can take on the world. You can.
You can. You did it dude. You did it. You kicked ass today.
Yeah that's so cool. Oh no way everybody it's Jason Ellis. I'm going on tour. I'm doing a comedy tour.
Who wants to see me tell jokes. Appleton with Scottin and Louisville. I don't even think I've been to Louisville. But I'm coming to Louisville and I'm going to be an Elaway.
I'm always in LA. But I'm doing jokes there too. Everybody go to the Jason Ellis.com. Check out the dates of when I'm coming to your town to tell jokes to your face.
Come on. Everybody has to go. You better go. If you leave that if I do jokes and nobody and you go oh man I didn't know you were going to be in Tacoma.
Well wake up Tacoma because I'm coming all over you. Whoops. I work really well when there's pressure and there's like pushing you know like like it's like I could play sports and I was younger and it was like you don't want to let the team down. When there's pressure you want to step up to it and that's how I like attack comedy too.
It's like also just diving in on that vert when you what's it called? Mini ramp. Yeah but when you drop in. Yeah when you drop in there's a thing like fuck it let's go.
Yeah and I love that. That's why I do every time when I do stand up I go fuck let's go. You've got to be. Yeah that's that you've already won when you know you're about to go and you're going to go with everything you've got you've already made it.
Yeah because that's the thing people hesitate. That hesitation fucks you. It has a tation fucks you and you know staying low and then like you said if you stay low and you fall you're not going to get hurt and everybody fucking falls. You just got to learn how to fucking fall right.
Yeah and feel like people get hurt because when they hesitate they go into shock and it's in skateboarding same with fighting or comedy or anything. When you hesitate and you go into shock it's a split second. You made a split second mistake and that's when you pay. Yeah but if you go I'm making it no matter what I'm making it.
Yeah because I've done tricks before where I didn't land right and I just knew I was going to make it and I made it and then I've done tricks where I was like oh I don't feel good about it and then I've eaten shit because I kind of hesitated a little bit on it. Yeah and I would have rode away but it's like just having that mentality where your brain knows you're going to make it and your body's like you know you're going to make it. And your body's like you know what I think I'm just going to believe the brain and it goes. But last time I did a 540 couple like last year I don't know when it was but I was 52 I'm still 52 so this year.
But I didn't think I was going to make it that day but then the crowd people were pumping me up and I was like you know what dude that pump up of everybody was watching me and then when I nailed it and I was like yeah that feels so good and that like support and being like yeah. He's what we can do that every time. Yeah you can have that every time he goes skate. He needs skateboard friends though.
I know. You're in a state of New York. I know also I don't think there's like oh actually there's kind of a skate park near my house. Yeah there is for sure.
There's a bunch of them. I'll make new friends. Yeah and you know what you're a fun guy to be around and if you go to the skate park and start trying to shred everyone's going to back you. Yeah and you'll have people cheering you on.
Dude oh my god I want to start a skateboard gang like suicidal tendencies. You should. Yes. Can I mean it?
Yeah. You're the road dog and I'm the shred dog. It's our gang. Yeah well then we could definitely start a team.
Like people would want to join our gang. Oh dude. Escapable gang. Oh yeah.
Yeah. People. How do we beat them up to get them in? Oh.
I don't want to be mean to people that are going to be our friends. What about tickled them in? I don't know. Yeah because somebody has to get your feet while everyone else is tickled and the rest of you.
Have you ever seen that documentary tickled? No bro. Is there a documentary called tickled? Maybe we should lay off on documentaries you guys.
Wild. There's a documentary called tickled where this documentary goes you will never see it coming. Is it sexual? It is bro.
It is so much more than tickling. It is. It's a live style. It's a lesbianage.
Deceit. Stalking. You can tickle somebody into submission. Bro.
It's. You gotta watch. Tickle torture. There is there is there is a master.
Meticulator. No way. Is this saying stuff? No no this guy is like an evil black male artist that uses tickling to basically puppeteer people's lives.
What? Yeah competitive endurance tickling. Oh dang. And this dude it's crazy.
Do you get a hand job after it? Bro no you get your life ruined. Oh yeah. Well this is not good.
Well wait a minute. They said little gay Kiwis. How does that stuff your alley? How do they get you there to be tickled?
Look at them. They're young teens that need money. That seems kind of honey. Bro what are you doing tonight?
You want to watch tickled? I'm doing stand up. Really? What did you do last night?
Stand up. Dude where are you playing? Santa ballet in Culver City. That's great.
Of course you've been there. Nice. So I'm going to do real good obviously. Yeah.
Delirious. I'm just gonna be good even when I'm not. Dude I'm so delirious and I'm in so much pain. Yeah you slammed really hard today.
Bro I didn't my hips. I wanted you to slam at least one time. You gotta know. But dude the pads help.
Except for that one slam where you managed to miss all your pads. Oh and just about back. Oh yeah. That was a bad one.
Well I am. But you took a chronic back pain. Oh that's good. Dude I usually go separate by sake of my pelvis and slip my L4 and L5.
Oh wow. You've had a real back injury by the time I got hit by a car. Right on my bike in New York City. Oh no.
You know what I mean? Did you get on the air? Oh yeah. I skid it like a pavilion lake.
That's awesome. Yeah. Did you go outside down? No but I pinged around.
That's cool man. No it sucked. I mean if I pop in the back injury but it's cool to fly in the air and bounce off things I reckon. I mean no.
Yeah I see what you're saying. Mmm. Because you broke your back. It sounds pretty fucked.
If you slip stuff that's cool. I'll call it a break. I don't want to take break balor but. Yeah you can slip stuff that's worse than breaking your back.
Yeah but rehab and osteopathie. Osteopathie? Yeah an osteopath. What's that?
They're like a witch doctor. I don't even know. They're like a bit like an eastern medicine chiropractor type doctor person. I sent my telephone off once.
What? Pretty cool. Still flooding my anus. No I heard my telephone in high school and it gives me the key to you.
Yeah it was a whopper. It took a long time to recover. Every time I got off a seat I couldn't stand up straight for like that. I couldn't stand up straight for like 20 minutes.
But the x-ray. You fell on it? I whipped out on an indy 540 and I didn't even get my handstand up. It was just straight to my ass.
Is that the worst pain you've ever been in? Nah. What's the worst pain you've ever been in? Compound fracture.
Oh. Oh really? Trying to do a fun shot. I'm sorry.
Do you really? You know what? Can you break my mind off my broken heart? See you were laughing.
I don't give a shit. You got a laugh. I'm still hot man. I'm on steroids.
I'm working out of the time of like some sort of animal diet. You look so good. As soon as later some super hot cheeks can fall down. I'm going to be fine.
Yeah. You are fine. You're not going to be. The fine has already happened.
Yeah. There is a more line up between you this time and the last time I was here. Yeah. Truly.
Oh no. I've been working hard. Bro. I can tell.
It's incredible. And you've been doing it for you. I have. That's the difference.
I like leaving by myself. Me too. I didn't. But I do now.
Yeah. I really like it. I like cleaning my house. I don't like that.
I didn't like that. And now I do. I even don't mind cleaning the kitty litter. That's nice.
I'm really. And then I know he's got huge balls and he pisses on stuff all the time now. Oh god. How old is he?
One little guy. Yeah, but it's not cool. You really do have a lot of animals running around. That was not the plan.
Doesn't that get stressful? I got stuck with him. And that's the way it goes. But the joy, you know, because it's five dogs and a cat and a dragon and it's seven people that love me.
Yeah. I don't know if the dragon loves me. I don't know if they're people. They are.
To me they are spiritually. I feel like I don't like it when people say the animals don't have souls. They have souls. Totally they have souls.
I think it's some people don't have souls. I mean, fuck in Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Solis, right, Solis and Hotless. Dude, you can see the passion he's faced, not people obsessed with being influencers and everything, Solis. Yep.
You can get it back, but you'd have to quit your bullshit job. Sometimes I wonder if souls are given or if they're earned through pain and prayer. Oh, I think they're earned. I think you can lose it, but you got to earn it back.
I agree because I lost myself before. And then I'm a soul back. Yeah. I got it back.
I earned it. There it is. I prayed for it too. I prayed for growth and the only way to grow souls through pain.
Let's say if I gave you $10 million right now, would you be happy? For a period of time. What about if I told you that you don't get to wake up tomorrow or you get the $10 million? What?
Would you do it? Like die? Yeah. Would you do it still?
Well, I would be able to delineate who the money goes to. I never thought about that. Yeah, sure. Would you still do it?
$10 million and it gets to go to my mom and people in my life that I love. Yeah. I'd die for them. Really?
What would they, they don't have you? I can't believe this is a tough question. I don't know. I don't want the people in my life to be taken care of.
They're okay. Let's say they're okay. They don't need them. No, you're not changing one.
The $10 million is only for you. Why am I going to take it if I'm going to die? Right. So that's basically when you wake up tomorrow, you're worth more than $10 million.
You should be just as happy waking up tomorrow than having the $10 million because obviously you've already equated that having $10 million for a day is not as good as being alive tomorrow. Wait, what? That's Santa better on TikTok. What?
You got that from TikTok? Yeah. Of course you did. TikTok is how you lose your soul.
I thought it was a good one. TikTok is evil. No, it's the dumbest shit. I'm going to die tomorrow.
What am I going to do with $10 million in a day? I'm going to do burnouts, get a bunch of booze, get hookers, set up a big jump and jump through a giant ring of fire into like a giant pool full of champagne and hookers. All right. What time do I die tomorrow?
What time do I die tomorrow? By 1,000 two hours and play in a park with 1,000 two hours, get fake hair and get a convertible and drive around with the wind in your hair. Pay for Katy Perry to do a live show singing and show you with the people. It's unrealistic because that means you would have to figure out a way to get on the horn with Katy Perry.
You'd have to pay. Pay for it. Hey, everybody, $10 million by the way, everything fall in the place. I'm going to give Katy Perry $1 million to perform in my backyard tonight.
How are you going to get a holdover? I would call Tony Hawk. And he would get a holdover. Does he have a connection with Maggie Stalien?
Yes. Because I'm in love with her. Yes, he does. Yes, he does.
He knows who's the gay rapper guy, the black guy? Little Nas X. Little Nas X. He knows Little Nas X.
Did he? He doesn't know did he. We are fathers. We're not o-files.
Is that a good way to say it, McConan? Yeah, yeah. We're on the side of defending the children. That's what I come from.
I'm not one of those celebrities. And we are celebrities. Oh, make no mistake. We're famous.
Oh, stop. But we're not into kids. Yeah, no shit. Why are you even saying that?
Because TikTok's holding words into kids. Bro, get off of TikTok. TikTok is terrible. What the fuck?
I will not. Road dog. Oh my God. Yeah, baby.
Look at you. Wow. How much you love TikTok? TikTok is pretty cool, man.
I hate it. Sometimes it tells me about poison water. No, it's all the fucking lie. It's all the forest.
