Yes, here it is, Unalive's highly anticipated MoM interview. Enjoy
How and why does everyone now call you Brad? Brad Weathers? How did it start?
Well, to answer the "Why?" it's my name. Make's sense, dunnit? :p But as to how, it all started with the wonder-Aussie, Dale Armour (Dr_Feelgood). I'm pretty sure he was the first/one of the first people to start calling me that. I guess it just snowballed from there.
Sort of how some people have started calling Andrew(HVS) 'Andycakes.' Let this be record that Brad Weathers was the first to call him that. :)
Are you gonna run for president and make skating allowed in all states?
Probably not. It'd be pretty sweet, but I doubt I could handle the responsiblity of poorly running a country and sending people I don't care about off to die.
How did you come up with a name as bizare as unalive?
I think this was covered in a thread in the past, but I thought of it when I was a loser in the 'underground Yahoo' scene. I thought I was hot **** because I could run a program to kick people offline, and I signed up at a forum on the subject and that was just the first thing that came to mind. I never ditched the name, despite many attempts.
Would you rather have an unlimited supply of Chinese food, ranch dressing, or White Castle burgers?
Tough question, B-ry. As you well know, ranch dressing is the nectar of the gods. As much as I love ranch and White Castle, I'd probably take the Chinese food. Those little, yella fellas sure know how to work wonders with chicken and pork.
What brought you to the Cafe, and what has made you stay?
I came to this magical place long ago when I wanted to REALLY get into skateboarding. I'd say a select few people kept me coming back.
What got you into skateboarding?
It was probably the Tony Hawk games that got me into it. Like, the first two. Also, that movie, "An Extremly Goofy Movie" was all about "College X-Games" and whatnot. Those two things were really the first taste of skateboarding I got.
What are your religious beliefs?
I am an Atheist.
If you could skate/meet up with any members of the Cafe who would they be?
I'd like to meet Dale Armour, Byron Moo, Bryan Easton, Andycakes, and prolly Jeffy.
When do you think you will cut your hair/re-start skating?
I will probably cut my hair when it gets so long, I'm sitting on it everytime I need to rest my legs.
As for the second part, I really want to start skating again, so hopefully I'll get motivated enough to do it soon.
Mr. Weathers, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
What the hell kind of question is this? =|
(Snowjoe)If you and I hooked up and had a baby would you be down with calling it "&y"?
I'd call anyone's kid Andy.. Unless you mean "Ampersandy."
Who's your favorite pro skater, and what about their skating and/or personality makes you enjoy watching them ride?
Rodney Mullen has always been my favorite skater, and anyone who's seen any of his videos could see why. He's just such a phenomenal skater, and he's done so much for today's skating.
Another favorite I have is Mike Vallely. The way he perceives skateboarding is fantastic, and everything about his skating/outlook on skating is just.. inspirational.
What's your favorite style of skating, and what are you favorite tricks to do?
Freestyle is probably my favorite style of skating for many reasons. One reason is that, well, it just looks good. Another reason is that, with street skating, if you don't have a good rail, or a nice stair set, you'll get bored. Freestyle doesn't doesn't really need any obstacles to be good. It's just a natural-looking, flowing style.
I don't really have a favorite trick to do.

Translation: I think anyone who has spent more than twenty minutes on a computer knows how to not only read leet, but be fluent in speaking it as well. It's a simple language to get down, as stupid and juvenile it is.
Fun Fact: Leet was started by an epileptic kid when he had a fit at his keyboard. The numbers and symbols he pressed while swallowing his own tongue vaguely resembled words. THE MORE YOU KNOW!
[I used the NG 1337 Translator to save time.]
What'd you do with that autographed Brian Sumner Deck and DVD you won?
The deck is in my basement/bedroom. The DVD, the first day I got it in the mail, I watched it immediately. Then I was like, "Is that frickin'.. Stephen Baldwin? He has a career still? What are YOU doing here?"
I was surprised to see such a no-talent ass clown in the video. Now, the DVD is put away in my mini-safe, as I have a friend who is not only a clepto, but collecting autographs from numerous celebrities.
You've taken a break from skating a while back and then returned to it(early too I believe). How has that worked out for you? Changed style, new tricks?
I'm actually still on that break. I tried to return, and was pretty convinced that I had, but I still haven't REALLY gotten back into it. I wish I had, though. I keep putting it off, and I miss it.
Do you still skate? If not, why did you give up?
It started out as just a break, but soon that break turned into a spell, and now it's an era. It's been almost a year since I REALLY skated, and I just haven't admitted that I don't skate anymore. Like said in about 12 questions so far, I want to get back into it, I just lack the motivation and time.
Do you like the moon? If not would you like to join my quest to destroy it?
I actually love the moon, stars, and space in general. Brad Weathers is a hopeless dreamer. I like looking into space and imagining what it'd be like to be able to travel to distant planets and discover intelligent life forms. I refuse to believe that the human race is the only intelligent life forms in the entire universe. It's such a large, vast space that it's almost impossible. It's like going to Compton and hoping to not run into a black person. It's bound to happen sooner or later.
What is the approximate speed of a full matured male ostrich?
Apple.
