It's cool that he didn't avoid answering any questions really!
He literally side stepped the money and scientology questions in the interview lol Jeff had to slightly press/ask the same question several times until he gave up
@@googleuser298 Jeff definitely seemed to know more about what ppl wanted to know on that front. Felt kinda like he wanted to push more but didn’t wanna take over the interview
I'm watching the scientology part right now and he is tap dancing around the topic lol.
@@jeffli480that's why this dude Jeff needs to be on every podcast Lamont does. Just have him as the co-host. Jeff is a crazy skate nerd/knowledge bank and he also seems like he's way more down to earth than anyone else who lives in LA/out in Cali. He knows what the people want to hear and have answered.
braille is a religious creep show, and all these famous youtubers promoting it are in on it.
id love to seee these nonses out skating,
Jeff asked the real questions
Can't believe you got the leader of scientology for the Bay Area on 🔥
But not the leader of the whole of Scientology, he wants you to know that 🤣
@@ruthohare9840 but hangs out with p3ð0f1L3S at the scientology church
@@ruthohare9840excellent diversion tactic
Aaron IS IN FACT A HIGH UP SCIENTOLOGIST!!!! 💯 FACTS!!!! He even has those Zenu eyes
And?
@@vinniepaul182 than DON’T deny it, annnnddddddd?? Scientologists SUCK
he's dodging the Scientology questions so hard
how is he dodging? this is probably on par with long time scientologists. YOu can go far back to the one one who is tryign to expose it with Mike Binder and Leah Rehmini, they were born into it, and it wasnt until they got to the top that they starting to see the corruption.
they're just not really asking proper questions on the subject
how did you get into scientology ?
- communication course..
why does it matter his religion ?
@@nickhomiee Scientology is not a religion... its a cult.
I cant believe Lamont got Xenu himself on the podcast. Insanity. Almost as crazy as Lamont not knowing 90% of the skaters or brands mentioned.
😂
Not Xenu silly. A-Ron Hubbard.
No, it's l-ron Howard
@@thegreyhound1807 😂
@Trey-vf5ov Lamont was Him Jong Un on a skateboard frfr. I tapped out during the whole drunk games of skate but I'm tapped back in. Bro just gotta do some research before these interviews so he don't get finessed
honestly I've looked up to Aaron for years I'm not hating but damn the amount of side stepping he did with the scientology questions was ridiculous, the obvious part was when jeff would ask a question and Aaron would go on a tangent about something completely unrelated to the question i feel like jeff stopped asking scientology questions simply because he knew Aaron was just gonna keep sidestepping
People in the comments continuously roasting Kyro about Scientology because "they don't understand it" is completely incorrect. They are in the comments because they've watched the documentaries, gone down the TH-cam rabbit holes, and heard all the stories of abuse and disassociation. Yeah, they rope you in with the $100 communication courses and $30 books, but ask Aaron about the $5000 purification rundown, or the $45,000 OT3 course where they handcuff a briefcase to your wrist and you get to read the handwritten by L Ron Hubbard secret texts....which are just made up Sci-Fi mumbo jumbo that is covered in 5 minutes by South Park.
Aaron also whitewashes the human trafficking and financial crimes. They can't recruit in the USA because everyone has the internet and no it's a scam. So they've been bringing in people from Mexico, South America, Latin American, Africa, etc with the promise of the American Dream if they join the sea org. But what really happens is they get you to LA or Clearwater, take your passport, shove you in a dilapidated old hotel or apartmebt complex Scientology bought 40 yrs ago bunked with 8 other people living in squaller making $47 dollar a week...cause youre a "religious volunteer" not a employee....and they make you work 15 hours a day 6-7 days a week. Aaron will never agree to do an interview with someone who will be knowledgeable about these abuses or skilled enough an interviewer to press back or not fall for the change the subject tricks he learned in those communications classes that these guys fell into!!
nah tbh i just know whats on south park and im pretty sure everyone else does too.
Well said. Scientology is one of the worst cults out there. It’s a terrible thing for anyone to support. Watching braille and buying braille products is inevitably making the cult money regardless of how you try to twist it.
I saw a pod cast that said Kyro is in a lead position at the church of scientology in California.
I just hope none of the other skaters fall for the science fiction.
This is dead on, it is easily one of the most terrifying cults in existence today. People bash religion all the time sadly, but I don't know of a single Jesus/God based religion that will label people who go against it "suppressive", or send people to your house and job if you don't agree with it trying to discredit or destroy your life. They will chase you down, yell in your face, scream lies about you in public. I love what Aaron has done for skateboarding, totally crushed to hear he bought into such a disturbing and manipulative cult that destroys families and people's lives under the guise of "creating a better world".
@@herscheljackson2781 San Francisco.
Come Correct.
He was literally indoctrinated by the stress testers you see in the streets. He was shy and vulnrable, taken into the cultist mindset.
cant believe kyro got on
He had to to keep subscribers
Can’t believe he said Scientology isn’t a cult
@@colinn126 Christians will say the same thing about Christianity and Catholicism.
@@colinn126for what it's worth, they go decades not telling their members their true intentions and beliefs. They'll deny facts as "rumors" and will lie about the religions beliefs until they're higher up in the programming.
jeff was lowkey cooking with the good questions
Scientology teaches you to speak like this, twisting conversations and like he doesn't give straight answers knowing he's being watched nor wants to speak on things. Once he gets them laughing and distracted he changes the topic. He keeps gaslighting the conversation the by saying we dont know what it is when there is plenty of research online. Many alligations.
when did he twist the conversation? genuinely curious, expose aaron if theres any moments someone who may not have been listening closely missed. ty
@@davihgtgx9641 check out "Aaron Kyro LIES about being the LEADER OF SCIENTOLOGY in San Francisco" by @GrowingUpInScientology
@davihgtgx9641 at 47:15 he plays off anything in his comment sections against scientology as "wild" and never addresses them. Scientologist are trianed to deny any wrong doing of the church and act as if they are innocent.
@@davihgtgx9641at 47:28 He deflects the conversation back on to the interviewer to take the spotlight off himself so they ask less questions about these comments in his videos. Which they do.
47:37 more distraction from the initial question. He makes a reference that portrays himself as innocent, which makes the church look innocent.
Big ups to Jeff for asking questions about Scientology. I know it was probably hard coming up with meaningful questions on the spot, but you did a great job and asked some general questions I think were important to ask.
Aaron gave dodgy non-answers, and conveniently left out how he initially got involved with Scientology, until Jeff kept playing dumb and repeatedly asked the same question.
At first it was Aaron just took a course, then it was he paid to take the course, then it was Scientologists showed up to his door and he took a personality test while he wasn't in a great mind state - and they told him to take courses with their Church.
Scientology and Kyro are sketchy. Big ups Jeff.
Yea I agree, very sketchy, he didn't answer anything and you could tell he wanted to move on. Shadeball
@@matthewbrandon267 also the bs from Kyro about being unsure if he's going to be able to keep the lights on/keep affording the channel... Meanwhile, he's donated literally $1,000,000+ USD to be promoted/move up within the Scientology church.
From the video posted on Growing Up in Scientology's channel, he has a whole video going through all of this information / the organization structure of Scientology, etc.
He explains there are two different shifts of Scientology operating out of the same building in SF, and treated almost as separate organizations; the day shift, is called San Francisco Day. The second shift is called San Francisco Foundation.
Kyro took the position of Executive Director of San Francisco Day, and Jim Fitzgerald is the Executive Director of San Francisco Foundation.
San Francisco Day is the more senior organization, it has more staff/publicity/bigger stats/more income. This means the head of the San Francisco org, is the leader in that area; that person is now Kyro.
In order to become the Executive Director, Kyro completed training in both OCE and EFBC courses; the fully trained Org Executive Course and Flag Executive Briefing Course - which essentially contain every management policy L. Ron Hubbard wrote on how to run an organization.
@NickLyttle yeah and what you are leaving out . Is that Hubbard deep root teachings have connections to Alster Crowley. They are known ritual partners and their beliefs are similar... satanic roots
@@ogmisa9904Satanists in no way believe anything even close to the insanity that scientologists believe. One cool rule Satanism has that no other religion has is that if a member or just any person assaults a child the way priests do that person disappears... Scientologists actively participate in human and child trafficking.
@@NickLyttle A-Ron Hubbard
He's paid $750,000+ to the church of scientology with money he could have invested back into his business, and pretends like he's struggling to stay profitable.
It is his money, his choice but lying is also his choice. Typical scumbag scientologist.
He's not pretending like he's struggling, the channel has to actually be struggling. I think it's mostly pretending the lack of funds or views is because all of skateboarding has dropped since COVID. He can do whatever he wants with his money but I wish more of that $1mil or however much went into the skaters pockets. They're kinda living paycheck to paycheck while putting the channel on their backs. Every boss makes more than the employees but yeah the whole ratio of what was used for what doesn't make sense.
wtv noname...
Chill bro , Did u send money
He can spend his money however he wants to. Some people spend it on drugs and some people want to spend it on Scientology.
I don’t want to sound stupid but what does that have to do with Scientology was the best questions I’ve ever heard 😂
Lmfaoo I loved that Jeff was asking those hard hitting questions
i cant wait to see you guys on a braille video, its gonna be awesome. Aaron seems genuinely nice guy. great podcast, watched the whole thing. i honestly think glo would be a great episode.
This was so sick!! That is for going to the Braille House!!
Can’t wait to see the other vids you made!
Great episode Lamont. Good job and good questions from the both of you. Also enjoyed aaron's responses.
One time for Lamont & Jeff asking those questions to Aaron. I hope there’s a part two in the future, because I know there’s more questions to be asked.
love these podcast and always look forward to listening to them.
rock on Lamont ! epic interview, can’t wait to watch this one!
This was a really cool conversation. Always appreciate the knowledge Aaron drops ❤
Jeff was putting Aaron in the hot seat
What a dope episode Lamont, your really putting in the work and miles for this podcast, keep up the good work dude 👊
LAMONT MADE IT TO THE BRAIL HOUSE FINALY
Braille**
Just don't buy his books.
Aaron is about to groom him like Epstien and P Diddy if he doesn't stay away
@@kreeperfrm559Watching this whole thing and then you saying that 😂. Nothing like seeing the breakdown of education in real time.
been killing it with these podcasts lamont!!
Good interview. You asked the questions everyone wanted to hear. Looking forward to seeing the Braille videos you shot.
No one wanted to hear about him being the leader of a child trafficking cult that splits up familys and stalks people who quit.
Good Podcast. I do wish they talked more about scientology, especially with that article going around. Scientology has a very cult like history and has done some shady stuff. It's cool if it helped Aaron be more communicable and start his business but I would like to know what him being the executive director for the day and foundation organizations of Scientology in San Francisco entails.
Also not tryna hate braille taught me how to kickflip
He's the executive director for the day org but not the foundation org, that's another dude.
Damn gotta be honest didn’t see this coming but I should have 😂
love you all guys, great podcast!
Absolutely loved this one. I appreciate that Lamont just lets people speak naturally. It keeps things from feeling stiff and awkward. Never a dull episode.
This is awesome to see you guys doing this, only thing you need to do now is get some of the Majer crew back for an interview! Miss those dudes lmaoo
Bro, I used to watch them all the time
im with ya haha.
Majer Crew! Nick and Mikey still kill it. Idk where the rest went but that'd be tight
That would be awesome
Where's JP at!
Jp
Im glad Jeff is a cohost. We said it from the beginning
Jeff is raw
Jeff asking the real questions🎉🎉
Excited to watch and learn from this
Dude wtf.... was Carlos the creep or was Fetty?
@@fuhckerschite watch the videos and learn...
I would have to say both.. but why ask ricky? hes rather new to braille and wasnt even around when fetty was.
@fuhckerschite why would you ask the guy that got there way after both of those dudes
@@fuhckerschite In Fetty's case it was pretty much admitted to. And he simply got lucky he didn't end up in jail. I would say he knew her age the whole time. Being lied to, according to the law, also is not really an excuse here. As for Carlos, no one really knows at this point in time. Even in this video I heard a rumor that was new to me about him getting a girl knocked up. As for inappropriate behavior near/with children, it's obvious that was why Fetty got terminated by Braille. Very direct cause there. I don't think Carlos left over that. But he may have been told to leave due to alcohol abuse. It may have been what Aaron was hinting at with saying he went to some 'rough times'.
Brilliant interview, very interesting, much respect to each personality there , life is hard but as skaters we just get up from the falls and it makes us stronger , peace ✌️
Lamont you a beast. I used to watch pretty often but I fell off the skate scene. Great job with the podcast! Definitely roped me back in.
Lamont really out here grinding! Show love to the 111! And ayo AK! Love you OG! I hope the best for the business ❤💯
16:05 After 10 years of watching Braille Skateboarding, I finally heard Aaron Kyro cuss. I thought him and Andy Schrock were robots…
He's gonna have to answer to Tom Cruise now. lol Dudes in a cult
This comment just reminded me of these things lol. I vaguely remember hearing Aaron cussing in an old warehouse Wednesday or we want revenge video. And I remember Aaron cussing got censored in a persistence video where he got hurt.
i thought the exact same thing LMAO
They dont cuss because its kid friendly. Outside the videos they are normal cool dudes.
@@RobinWilliamsTribute True. They might curse now and then, but really they are skate ambassadors and teachers for kids to get into the sport. Good role models and great guys to get young kids hyped to get on a board and pop an ollie.
Thanks for the content!
Lamont is the next braille pro
Love the interview. You should try have a conversation more. It srems like u have a list of questions that you are trying to get through as fast as you can. The guset always talks while answereing the question and you just say a 1 word answered back. Every time.
Great interview Lamont!!
SF has so many iconic spots, Mecca. Crazy to see people so unaware of some of the more well-known spots.
One of the Best Lamont Interviews This Far. Keep the heat coming my Nigg!! This shit is like the Kat Williams interview for skateboarding lol.
Aaron does do a great job of staying on topic and brining only skate related videos. Anything outside of skateboarding stays out. Aaron is a good man.
Whaat?! Aaron did it?? Speaking about "It", Dang... much respect earned.
AK sponsored GOAT of the SFBA. We love you, can't wait to watch this.
As a former skateboarder what Aaron has done is really cool, im 40 yo too and had the same dream of becoming a pro skater, skated 5-6 hours a day and had the most fun of my life between my age of 15 to 21, roadtrips, demos, tradeshows etc it was really cool and then one day all ended because of a bad injury but till this day i cant skate anymore but love watching it and love what Aaron has done, the idea of trying to get kids and people into skate and teaching how to do tricks, thats so cool. keep skateboarding alive Aaron.
Oh nah you've been having banger guests Lamont.
It’s cool to see Aaron talking outside of a Braille video
Freddy!
Interview was🔥
Jeff saw right through him 😂
Yk despite the controversy, may be shady, might not be but I learned how to hard flip from this dude like 10 years ago hahsh thanks man !
i did not think aaron would do this interview props to lamont
Asking about Scientology was Jeff Wong Song’s best contribution to skateboarding
The "do y'all fw me" meme I was laughing so hard 😭😭 I didn't think that's what you wanted to show him
great interview. ive always been a kyro fan since way back when. ive been a little sad lately.
Honestly Aaron talking is the best thing he can do for his brand lol. The guy just oozes passion when he talks about skating and I haven't even made it half way thru...
Edit:second half of the interview had nothing of substance of course
So much passion that he’s tryin to save us all from Xenu and that’s why he’s broke
A certain old failed painter from the 1940s would’ve loved you
braille is done. tainted with the stink of scientology until aaron gtfo
@@lucid622bet he’s that one guy protesting outside the courthouse in NY for the other con-artist 😂 Who has his own cult.
He oozes psychopathy. He’s got those “im dead inside”eyes that most scientologists have.
bro u a magician pulling this rabbit outta your hat
Hey, thank you for the interview. I’m a little surprised about all the skate history you didn’t know but that’s fine because I’m sure a lot of the viewers didn’t know either. It’s a learning experience for all
Rick Mcrank is the dude from Vice that skates yo Lol and Yeah Right!
yo im so hyped for this!
Completely went off topic and avoided the scientology questions as best as he could
Yoooooo this is wild 🤯 111
C1rca is indeed still around and producing some of the O.G shoes again!
A whole hour and a half and they didnt ask about lance the OG skate god 😭
Yup
He's another Scientologist
Nah for real you went to the final boss (source) of information and I respect tf out of it. Actually the best podcast for skaters no joke
I can honestly say.. Aaron has always come across as genuine. He has always been willing to chat with me and even offered me an opportunity to come to braille and learn me a few things about TH-cam. Judge people based on how they treat you and not by others perception of them.
If you can blindly respect someone who not only used $750k of the braille houses cash to donate to your cult instead of your own $750k then there's no perception by others he made himself look like that. He's willingly part of a cult that forces these young audit members to cut all communication with their families, that's a fact not someone else's perception. He's part of a cult in which the leader made his wife disappear and him and his cult don't question a damned thing.
As soon as you said, “I gotta show you this picture” I IMMEDIATELY knew you were gonna show him that exact pic lmaoo
Thank you Lamont and Aaron
Didnt expect this at all, but mad respect to Aaron. Say whatever you want about the guy but this clears up everything that people have been talking about. The scientology stuff, still dont agree with that but if thats what hes into then whatever. Doesnt change who he is as a person.
It absolutely does, he's willingly part of a cult that turns a blind eye to the disappearance of the ultimate leader's wife. If you can still give ridiculous amounts of cash to that cult knowing that then you're literally a lower than the low... You're almost as bad as pedo at that point.
Great episode
I bet the leader of San Francisco branch will be proud of this…oh wait Aaron Kyro is the leader of the San Fran Scientology branch! These people are doing the work of Scientology this whole video is Scientology propaganda! They are going to love this interview.
Jeff could sense the bullshit
lmao, its so easy to sense tho☠️
@@grovestjm you can tell Aaron is full of it. The whole thing was set up and acted
@@jaciobe yeah u can tell jeff and lamont were holding back the REAL questions they wanted to ask
@@grovestjmNo you couldn't. You people just make shit up that isn't based in reality because of your feelings.
Braaaaaaah! You get Aaron on! Ayo. 111. Lamont is UP UP.
Watching my childhood heroes have a conversation is beautiful 👍🏼🤝💯
ouch.
better luck in your next life
@@blurry.magnets bruh speaking in code lmao, what?
@@DOLPHINSKATE You are me and I am You
Dead Ass
When aaron was talking about the van stuff it reminded me of the erased tour With Luis garrett jerell vinnie
I remember watching Aarons videos like 13yrs ago doing weird skate challenges at some random flatground/ledge park… then everything exploded where he’d have all the kids at that Cali park with JC and them
Shout out Vancouver! If Aaron somehow sees this. Who was the team rep you dealt with at circa? Man the boxes were sooooo good!!
Lamont’s fit is fire 🔥
Only ever heard of lamont goat ! Mad love ❤️
When I watch videos I feel like I’m supporting the creators that Im watching and have grown up watching braille. With all this stuff I feel like he didn’t care about my support for him and just gave it away
I started skating in about 1983 on a 70's plastic board, I got free after my uncle was hospitalized trying to ride it. he is soon to be 75. My first wood board was 1986. I left skating in 1993 after high school, and picked up rollerblading. I picked up a skateboard again in 2001 was a neighbor and his friends skating,. They were using me a way to get around, I was 30 yrs. old and could drive them to the only skate park at the time in Kenosha Wisconsin. I last skate at a park in 2015. I last stepped on a board after watching the Braille video of Aaron showing how to do a Strawberry milkshake in 2019. I said that looks easy do I went out in the garage it was winter and tried the trick. I fell and sprained my wrist, and said I'm too old for this. I will be 50 this year.
shoutout to stepping on and digging your feet directly into the audio cable.
I feel like the evolution of Braille was when the guys were going on the road and getting into the streets.. I get that it's easier to film at home base, but those videos were dope. Would love to see more of that and it eventually bringing about some street parts.
HELL YEAH
What he's talking about at 25:00 is so true, I think that being concerned for 18-23 year olds about how they're doing during this time is an extremely underrated thing to consider
Part 2 AND 3 🙌🏻🙏🏻
Aaron seemed very nervous about speaking about the church, and you guys definitely pulled back on asking directly. Tough to ask the tough questions. I hope to see Aaron and Braille succeed though, and overall grow into something better.
It’s a soft podcast. I mean look at Lamont.. he looks like a Baby mama but he’s a dude.
@@bovedliThis is INSANE
If Id given that much money to a secretive organization that gave me a job and that has a history of going buck on ex members and people who speak out against them, I'd probably watch what I said too. I'm honestly surprised he talked about it at all. But I do think he woulda elaborate on being the leader of a certain part if he wasn't interrupted. And calling Lamont a baby momma is insanity 😭
not having to give the church money on a regular basis sounds not true I feel like there's so many rich celebrity donors who donate so much to it cause they have dirt on their name that the church can blackmail them if you look at the church of scientology their basically a realestate empire almost all their buildings around the world are built very nicely and are humongous size their very rich company
@@bovedlicome on man, you know you can’t be asking them questions like that! The matrix is real.
Let's goo Lamont!!
Javier sarmiento is god tier skateboarding
Respect for Kyro fr. Even if I don’t agree with somethings. I respect him
love the videos lamont, get MAJER on! nick, mikey etc
Bro what lol I didn’t expect this interview
Well this is one for the books!!
I’m the 111th thumbs up. Angels? I soon meet you Lamont
He's super cagey about the scientology , blonde guy asked good questions without being intimidating. Kyro straight up lying about the payment plans in Scientology
Ya’ll are crazy if u think he can be straight up about Scientology. His hands are tied. He sure can’t tell u the money he’s given them like all the top earners do. Is what it is. He still did some good in the skate community at least.
Am I the only one that actually don’t give a shit what aaron does behind skateboarding? But anyway, I heard these type of people would stalk or harass if you tell anyone outside of Scientology what’s going on. He’s probably avoiding it cause ofc he has a wife, dogs, family that he wants to keep safe
Dude this crazy
