It's Paul Sharpe week on the Internet!
Paul is more handsomer than me.
I thought it was really rad that Slap did this Paul Sharpe piece. It reminded that I interviewed Paul over the summer for the enjoi catalog. It was sort of unplanned, but since he was in the van with everyone else, I had them pass the phone to him. His stuff actually got cut out because we were tight on space in the end. So here you go, a little bonus add-on to the Paul Sharpe Slap piece! Whoooo!
Paul, I’ve got some questions for you. Are you scared?
What are you doing right now? What are you working on, man?
I’m working on an interview with everybody at once for the next catalog. And they gave me like, a day to prepare.
Naturally.
So I saw a picture of you puking this morning.
You got that picture already? Yeah I fucked up. I was drinking tequila last night.
Yeah. But you were holding a bottle of beer while you were puking.
Nah. That wasn’t a beer. It was Pomegranate soda.
Oh. Was it helping?
No. Not really. It wasn’t helping, no. My brain is just fried right now. That’s why I’m like “Interview? Fuck what’s going on man?” My head’s not right right now.
As team manager, who is the biggest pain in the ass on the team?
Jose Rojo.
Why?
Actually he’s not. Who’s the biggest pain in the ass on the team? Matt? Yeah... Matt, ‘cuz he’s on the team too.
Who needs the least attention?
Jerry. He doesn’t even need boxes of boards or anything. He doesn’t ask me for anything. I’ll be on iChat and he’ll just send pictures. No verbiage, nothing. He’s awesome.
Who do you have to take under your wing and give a little extra love to?
Ah Jose. He’s like a fucking man-child.
Like “Hey Paul, am I doing okay?”
Yeah exactly.
I went on an etnies tour with him, before he was officially on and he was like “Hey Brink, you think I’m going to get etnies? You think everyone likes me?” Like every hour.
That’s it dude! In a nutshell, that’s him.
Who asks for the most product?
Jose. No, actually, I heard Lou had a ridiculous request one time. “Just get me one of everything in the catalog.”
That sounds like me.
Yeah, but it makes sense when it’s you. There’s no reason for Louie to have all that stuff. The dude only wears fucking Dickies and some little button-up shirts that we don’t even make.
What’s the last really embarrassing thing that happened to you?
I think I got caught jerking off once.
Who’s your favorite ex enjoi rider?
Aw shit. Dave Mayhew was on enjoi, huh? He’s not my favorite though. Was Chris Dobstaff on enjoi?
Yes.
Are you serious? He’s my favorite ex enjoi rider!
You’re the third guy today to say that. He’s winning so far.
How could you not love that guy, dude? Brink, he actually said to the Osiris team manager, “I’m going to try to get a skateboarding cover and surf cover in the same month.”
He said that?
That’s what he said.
I didn’t know he surfed but, wow.
He’s fucked. That dude’s fucked.
What’s your favorite YouTube video of the moment?
What are these stupid questions, Brink? Actually there’s a pretty rad one called “Chinese Ownage” or something. And these dudes, like they’re standing on these bleachers. And this fucking guy, I guess he’s talking shit to this other dude. And then he turns around after the game and the dude kicks him in the back and he just goes tumbling down the bleachers. He gets worked.
Going to have to go watch that one.
You’re not in front of your computer right now?
No. Doing it old school. With a pen and paper.
I like your style. Is that the budget Matt gave you?
Pretty much.
“And I need it done in two days!”
Exactly. I’m actually at my mom’s house in Jersey on vacation and using her phone long distance. So I’ll have to write her a check for the phone bill when I’m done.
That’s harsh dude.
If you had to explain enjoi in a few words or sentences how would you do it?
Total nonsense.
