THE THREE SAVING GRACES OF “HEY DIBI”

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Note to readers: In case you’re wondering why there are so many grammatical errors as far as the content of some of these questions goes, that’s because I’ve left them as is. I haven’t edited or corrected the comments and questions people have been asking for “Hey Dibi”. Sometimes I get a kick out of the typos and terrible sentence structures. I mean, I know I’m not perfect in this area, either. There are probably a lot of errors you can find in this paragraph alone. But, man…someone once wrote me something and misspelled the word “ocean”. Seriously. They wrote “oshen”. So, anyway, instead of acting the part of the Spelling Gestapo here, I’m just gonna go with the flow and let you guys get a kick out of the type of stuff I get to read every day.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program…

 

hi dibi, what do you think is your greatest attribute and your biggest flaw as a human being? - Anonymous

Dibi: Patience and impatience. The great thing about being human is we get to play both sides of the record.

Hey Dibi, how does nathan stay so fit and trim. I’ve seen him eat JUNK. soda after soda, candy to the max. real sweet tooth! - alec k.

Dibi: He surfs more than anyone I know.

————————————————————————————–

Did the Fletches sit down to family dinners every night? - Kent Smythe

Dibi: It depended on what everyone was doing and at what age they were. When they were younger, yes, but as they got older and the surf was good or whatever. I left dinner for them in the fridge and everyone ate when it was convienient.

————————————————————————————–

Well since Christian asked it, Dibi, what do YOU think about affirmative action? - Aaron Perron

Dibi: I think people should be hired based on skill!

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, does your family own Tar Farms in San Juan? Just curious. - Carrie M.

Dibi: Yes.

Hi Dibi. What do you think is a trait people see as bad and negative but you think is actually very good? - Justin Newsome

Dibi: Honesty; it’s been traded in for political correctness. UGH!

————————————————————————————–

What were Christian and nathan like as little groms? - Jessica Hines

Dibi: They were so cute and loving. We had a great time!

————————————————————————————–

Dang, Greyson kills it. But how come he skates so much without the helmet? Dibi make him! - R.T.

Dibi: Thanks, I have…

————————————————————————————–

Dibi can you ask christian this for me? i heard he and hosoi hate each other. true? why? or stupid rumors? thanks! - HVSkateMethod

Dibi: I don’t think that’s true; they see each other at skate events occasionally and I have an interview they did together awhile back, and they seem fine to me.

————————————————————————————–

Greyboy’s fucking awesome. He can dominate the sk8 world. He gonna be on dside or some other intervews soon for other mags, never seen a Q&a with him ever? - Lee Ellings

Dibi: Thanks, I’m planning to interview him, Christian and Herb for the D-Side soon.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi! Ever think of showing the D-Side interviews with YOU in the video? Would love to see you interacting and not behind the camera! Thanks! Love ‘em! - Diana Prestiss

Dibi: I’ve thought about it, but I always want it to be about the person I’m interviewing. Herb wants me to set up a table and chairs or something, but I not sure that I like the idea. I’ll have to think about it a bit more.

————————————————————————————–

Do you guys have the extra copy of Thrasher magaizine with christian on it? I’ll buy it from you. I reallyl want it.If you doplease let me knows ok! - tom rocha

Dibi: No, I’m sorry, I sure don’t. I called the guys at the mag awhile back and they sent me a CD of the article for my personel collection.

————————————————————————————–

Well Christian I mostly come to FB and not websites but admit I do check out your mom’s Hey Dibi and those DSide interviews. If I could ask Dibi something, I’d want to ask her Prop 8, for or against? And for the Dside can we put in requests or suggestions about interview subjects? - Mike S.

Dibi: The thing I find scary about the issue, is that one judge can override the votes of 7,000,000 people. Our constitutional right to have a say is no longer relevant?!? WOW! And, sure, you can put in requests…but that doesn’t mean I can always pull it off. But I’m interested.

————————————————————————————–

Thanks for all the great personal pics! Please keep them coming it’s great you let us take a peek into your lives! - Cass Osment

Dibi; Thanks, it’s fun to see some of them again myself.

————————————————————————————–

What do you think is the best taste in the world and the worst smell in the world? - Ted Hill

Dibi: I’m seriously addicted to Vietnamese chili garlic sauce. Man, it makes your nose run, your eyes water, it’s great! And the worst smell in the world are Christian and Greyson’s socks!!!

————————————————————————————–

how tall R the Fletcher men? - Abby LaRue

Dibi: Christian, Nathan, and Greyson are all around 5′10″, and Herb’s around 5′8″.

————————————————————————————–

How do you feel about a Catholic church being built next to a playground? - Timothy Daniel Flynn

Dibi: Sounds fine to me; throw in some great stained glass, beautiful architecture, and I think we’re good to go. Unless a McD’s is available because, of course, they should be on every available corner.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi can you ask CF if he likes doing airs still or is he sick of doing them? - Malachai Scott

Dibi: It’s him!

————————————————————————————–

I LOVED the photo of you and Nathan! What a beautiful young family! So my question is, I recollect reading that you said you had the boys at a young age. Do you think you would have been a different kind of mother if you had the children at let’s say, 30+? - No Name

Dibi: Of course, I woundn’t have been the same as I was as a teenager. But I have no regrets, I did the best with what I knew, and the beat goes on.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, I want to know who Cf thinks wore the pants in the family? You or Herbie? - Troy Maude

Dibi: Herb was really lucky and got to spend so much time playing with the boys, while I took them to the orthodontist, school, had the parent-teacher conferences, the visits to the principle, you know the job. That’s just the way it was, and now we all work together, and it’s still the way it is and everyone seems to be stoked so I guess that’s the answer.

————————————————————————————–

again again, where are the grommet shots of Nathan? you promised…. S.W.

Dibi: Nathan likes his privacy and I try to be respectful of that.

————————————————————————————–

What’s a bad habit you wish you could stop cold turkey? (BTW, Hi Mom! I love you! I’m on Christian Fletcher’s website! ;) ) - Casey Meisher

Dibi: I’m really rather controlled -duh-in what I do, so I’ve tried to eliminate bad habits years ago…and I’ve remained pretty successful with it.

————————————————————————————–

DIBI! I LOVE YOU! DO YOU LIKE CHIPS AND SALSA?! I DO! - MARTIN ZUNIGA

Dibi: I’m more into veggies with salsa, but I do adore hot sauce.

————————————————————————————–

Thank you for this! I get diff perspective I never knew and admit I judged you guys but reading things from Dibi’s perspective even with short replies, it makes me really think of the human level that we are all one and wear our pants one leg at a time! Christian your mom made me rethink a lot of judgments i had about you braddah! Hoooo! - Kai L.

Dibi: That’s very nice, thank you. Everyone’s life is filled with ups and down, but being able to laugh at ourselves so we don’t take things too seriously is really great.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, your thoughts on Oprah, BP, the recession, scented candles, Nathan’s hairstyle, other traction companies, and the summer weather thus far. - Tom Merrill

Dibi: Who cares, we still need drilling, they’re usually too heavily scented, it seems to suit him, they SUCK, and the last couple of days have been great.

————————————————————————————–

Watching the old vids, reminds me of good times. Whatever happened to good ole Gack? - J.J.

Dibi: He got so old he had to be put down.

————————————————————————————–

You guys always make me laugh and have great stuff to come back to. Astrodeck’s site should have Dside and this question and answer stuff too not just on christians, you guys will get mroe audience maybe? ah fuck it i aint telling you how to do your jobs good work guys! lol. - carlos hueriziga

Dibi: I’m glad you enjoy it. I have fun doing my part.

————————————————————————————–

Great interview with Bruce. That guy is classic. Andy’s was a good one too. When we gonna see your 2nd boy, Mrs. Fletcher on the D-Side? - John Petersen

Dibi: I’m not sure that he’d like to do it; he’s very shy and I respect that.
