Hey Dibi: “Do you like bread?”

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Just to remind you guys, we’ve left all the questions written as is. I figured, why go out of my way to make some of you guys look smarter than you actually are? Fuck that. - CF

————————————————————————————–

Hi dibi. Do you like bread? i like bread. with mustard. cut off crusts. no cheese tho. you rock. i want to rock with you. don’t tell herbie. pfffffffft hey  herbie. herbie’s a stud.    - rizzo

Dibi: I love bread with Dijon…and the crust is the best!
————————————————————————————–
I really enjoy the miscellaneous and candid photos you have of your family, Dibi. i.e. Walter surfing, the boys when they were younger, Greyson skateboarding, the beautiful photo of you and Christian, etc. Thank you so much for sharing and look forward to seeing more.   - Michelle Darcy
Dibi: Thanks, it’s fun for me to see them again also. I get so busy; I don’t take the time, so I’m grateful.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, do you think the old “if life gives you lemons make lemonades” is corny or good to remember?
- Seth Bretther
Dibi: I think perhaps when the “old” saying originated, it was a way to look at the hard times by remembering moments of happiness. It now seems to be used as an excuse to run away from challenges and become completely self-absorbed. That’s sad.

————————————————————————————–

Hey I saw Nathan at Strands the other week. Does he live here during the summer and back to hawaii for winter?   - I’m Nathan 2

Dibi: He lives here off and on in the summer, between travels.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi and Herbie, will you guys do another issue full feature of Frank 151. Yours was the best. Sorry Frrank 151 your other issues are fucking gay.   - Mikey B.
Dibi: Thanks, it was fun do. If they asked, we’d probably be into it.

————————————————————————————–

What’s the update and status of the Brazil saga as CF calls it lol. Sorry you guys are going through that btw. sucks.   - Tony Reeves
Dibi: He’s been a dick, but other people have been great and very helpful, which has been very cool.

————————————————————————————–

Would you say CF and NF are surfers more because of environment or would it be if they lived inland or in some hick state they would have found their way to the beach eventually?
- Mike Gillman
Dibi: Hard to say. I grew up with my dad surfing, they grew up with their dad surfing, so it all just happened naturally.

————————————————————————————–

LOVE MY FUCKING ADECK SANDALS! HOW ABOUT A RED PAIR JUST PLAIN RED WIHT BLACK STRAPS!!!! DO IT DIBI GO GO GO!   - Scott Glennys
Dibi: Dude, I did a great pair of black sandals with a red stripe and a red A (for Astrodeck), but, man, were they hard to sell. Guys seem to only want to wear brown or black, go figure.

————————————————————————————–

When will we see Wave Warriors The Next Generation with Greyson?????   - Danny Kinkade

Dibi: I’m not sure. We’re collecting footage all the time and hopefully, sometime in the near future, we’ll be able to do something that we think will stand as an original on it’s own.

————————————————————————————–

Hello dibi, I enjoy reading your hey dibi & dside blogs ! you need to make it like johnny carson & craig ferguson! behind desk!   - jamie b.

Dibi: Thanks, I’d love it if we had a place that we could keep set-up and there was some schedule. As it is, I catch the interviews on the fly; when friends stop by the office and we throw a piece of art behind them and get the film in the can before the opportunity slips by.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, if anything else, I would just like to say how much I look forward to all your contributions on Christian’s site. I get such a kick out of reading some of the stuff you write after a long day at work! Thanks!
- Stacey Marlowe
Dibi: That’s very nice, thank you!

————————————————————————————–

Why can’t Hollywood get it right? Blue Crush, John/Cinn, etc.   - Jim Black

Dibi: Dude, they don’t listen, they think they know best, and they have NO saltwater or sand in their veins!

————————————————————————————–

Hi Fletches! Ive been a fan since i started surfing back in 93′.Thanks for the inspirations from ALL of you.
The question for Dibi is: If you would’ve had a girl what would you had named her? Actually is 2 questions, sorry Whats the best way to clean myslelf from THC in 3 weeks? Thanx & love!   - pablo velasco
Dibi: I’m not so great with names out of thin air; it took me a couple of weeks to name Nathan. I felt I needed to get to know him before I threw a name on him that he’d have to live with forever. So, I’m afraid I’m not sure what I’d name a girl.

Got a drug test coming? I thought it had a two week window? I beleive there’s all sort of things that you can get at the health food stores or online that are supposed to clean the system, but I’ve never had to use anything so I have no idea what to recommend.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, You are fucking rad. The stuff about that Brazil guy is so well written. You should be a writer!
- Scott Ragan
Dibi: Thanks, I’ve written quite a bit and enjoy it.

————————————————————————————–

HEY DIBI! Any possibility of you guys updating your OLD SCHOOL pics and have some cool family pics with your boys?   - Fletcher Family Fan 4 Life
Dibi: Sounds great, perhaps that will happen sometime in the near future.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, will Greyson be skating in any more events this year? Been keeping track on CF’s facebook. The kid kills it!   - Manny Gracia
Dibi: Yes, I think he’s doing something next month in Northern California, but I don’t know the name off hand. We’ll post it though, so stay tuned.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, where was that sweet photo taken of Walter going backside and stuffing someone? Looks like Grandpa rules!   - Riley D.

Dibi: My Dad and Herb were on a surf trip in Bali and Herb caught the photo at Padang Padang.

————————————————————————————–

Is Greyson’s middle name really Thunder? Where did Christian come up with it. COOL!   - Jennifer Elliot

Dibi: Yes, I’m not sure.
————————————————————————————–
Are you glad you are living at this current state or do you wished you lived in the 1800 or the year 2200?
- Francis Thorpe
Dibi; I try to live my best in the present, not in the rearview mirror or in the future, I feel that if I’m not here right now I’ve missed everything that life has to offer. I’m not sure if that answers the question, but I’m here in the present and that’s it!

————————————————————————————–

If Nathan competed in the NSSA and did so well why did he suddenly stop? What made him suddenly stop enjoying it?   - Hal Lipinski
Dibi: I’m afraid that’s a questions that Nathan would have to answer, as my opinion would be merely that, and you know what they say about opinions…

————————————————————————————–

oh my gosh you’re so hot dibz. you look good! howzit??!   - Chris Lauden

Dibi: It’s great thanks! Life is an amazing adventure, who woulda thought I’d be doing this???

————————————————————————————–

Are you a fan of reality shows Dibi?   - Ryan Reyn
Dibi: I have to admit that some of the “Housewives” shows make me roll on the ground.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, I used to read in the mags as a kid how Christian liked GBH and GG Allin, has his music taste changed?
- Kurt O’Neal
Dibi: I think that’s a question for Christian, but I think he’s probably broadened his taste somewhat with age, but not so much that he would be caught dead listening to some green, ballad-type music fare, even if he personally liked the guy playing it.

————————————————————————————–

So bummed about that Brazilian guy. What can we do to help, Dibi? The Fletchers rule and this really pisses me off!   - Paolo Ruiz

Dibi: It really sucks, and the only thing I know that you and friends like you can do, is to spread the word. Make it so everyone knows, everywhere he goes, that he is not who and what he says he is. The Fletchers are Astrodeck!

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.
