    MTV got desperate once they realized Rob Dyrdek was the biggest thing on their network. They gave him so much power and control that he was able to use them for hundreds of millions of dollars.

One huge reason Rob stayed on top of his game for like 2 + decades is the fact that he NEVER gave into the demons. Rob never turn to drugs, his success was his high.

      I was so close to skating Dayton high school and my friend's car broke down outside town on the detour on route back to Michigan from Pittsburgh, think around 97. Moved south shortly after always wanted to drive through on drives up later years and check it out during visits just because I was so hyped on the spot from workshop videos. Never worked out though was too road weary drive out of way by myself and I would of rather not went for session alone, Dayton was no joke at the time. That was so long ago. does it still exist? I imagine like a lot of shit in the Midwest it closed and the earth began to reclaim it lol. Going to Michigan for a funeral in June I'd definitely make a pilgrimage I plan on spending a good deal taking my time driving this time for mental health and because I'm now that guy that enjoys the journey and shows up late haha.

IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DONT WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

Dude's business savvy and I can respect that, seems like a decently hard worker too. I also respect anyone that knows when its time to drop the "bad boy" image and duck out of the limelight to be with your family and focus on other businesses. Great video.

      - glad he didnt use his friends back then or anybody for him to reach success (not including Big Black, they basically co-workers that turned in to friends and make money together). it sucks but u have to make sacrifices for your own survival such as leaving some people behind because they dont have the same mindset and vision as u.
      - that "bad boy" image wasnt a front, it was just an image but he never let that image took over him and his values. that image was merely a character for the audience's entertainment purposes. just like almost every show who's got these characters to make the storyline somewhat interesting.
      - he's an entrepreneur, businessman, entertainer, skateboarder, stuntman, father
      he did everything right in his career. indeed a great video, Patrick

A twitch streamer could be a host for funny home videos Half of them are when every time they spectate. Or watch clips.
      Also when people say they love robs shows. We talking about fantasy factory or rob and big black. I don’t think anyone would ever be like out of all robs shows I love ridiculousness . Like what? You think that when people say I love robs shows they are referring to him standing and talking about a clip over a show where he’s racing monster trucks, joining rock bands, getting run down by tigers, driving a car backgrounds off a ramp or driving cars straight off cliffs? Lol people are talking about fantasy factory. If they’re not they are either too young or straight up never watched it.
      Shows like ridiculousness or funniest home videos are shows for people in there 50s who don’t have social media or 14 years olds who can’t leave the house or are up late at night.
      But as you can see I think the arguement for funniest home videos show or best is dumb. They are the same I’ve watched both. They have different energy but same content and take away.

      Yeah it really is impressive. He doesn't always come across as a particularly smart guy, but I think he's more intelligent than he seems, and especially when it comes to business stuff he's apparently an absolute genius. I think people oversimplify the concept of intelligence, as if it can just be boiled down to "brain horsepower", but I think there's a lot more to it than that. Everyone's brain works in different ways and has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to certain things.

    As a skater growing up, I remember when he announced the idea for street league and I remember thinking it was too good to be true and that it must just be part of the show’s script but it actually happened exactly how he proposed it. So when street league actually became a thing and was way better than x games or dew tour, i couldnt stop thinking about how he wasnt just an actor, this guy must be incredibly rich. This video was mind blowing bro

    I have to give him his respect. I always liked his approach to business. Honestly, the only reason why I watched MTV in the 2000s was because MTV Cribs, then Pimp my Ride and Rob & Big. Going into the 2010s, the only thing I watched on MTV was Ridiculousness. He was a pop culture star by 2011. Can't blame him, he's always capitalized on opportunities. Respect.

      It seems like Rob never let the partying take over his life, considering his business savvy parties were probably more about building connections.
