You asked and Tim delivers, Brian Wenning is the guest on this week’s show.
And, as is only fitting when Wenning is involved, this episode is a bit more jenky than the first two – let’s thank beer and a history of drug abuse for that. Try and follow along as Tim gets Brian to talk about getting kicked off of Plan B, stealing Xanax from Antwuan Dixon, and innovating the mid-ledge pop-out.
Don’t forget to check the timeline, submitted questions, and mentioned links below the stream.
And keep sending emails to [email protected] so that Tim doesn’t run out of things to talk about – as if that would ever be a problem for him.

SUBMITTED QUESTIONS
[35:54] Mike Sinclair: “Why did you pay for your own flight and apartment in Barcelona when everything was paid for on the DC Shoes tab? Also, why did you bring your own personal filmer whose footage at the time was not up to par and pay for him as well to film instead of filming with the DC team?
[37:52] Sinclair sidenote: “This is one of the worst trips I have ever been on, and the amount of money burned on that trip is still insane to me… If you were still on DC would you keep burning money at that same rate?”
[34:48] Sinclair sidenote two: “Why did you decide to sleep with a product line manager at DC, so when you cut her off she took your shoe away?”

jesus i was looking forward to listening to this, i looked up to brian wenning as a skateboarder. just because you had some short story printed on the insole of a savier shoe doesn’t mean everyone loves to hear you talk. your target audience was 15 year-olds you jackass.
