Pearl Jam basset, Jeff Ament, has taken his passion for skateboarding and used it to help the youth community. His foundation, Montana Pool Service, builds world-class skateparks and educates younger generations on the sport. 

We discuss this “part time job” he has taken on helping the community and how skateboarding has connected him to people throughout different points in his life. 

Jeff shared a behind the scenes peek into the Pearl Jam world as well: using the Beatles documentary series as a kickoff to talking about how PJ spends their time in the recording studio. 

We learned about how the basset listens to new music (Eddie’s new single just happened to be the latest new song he’s heard). And, If you are curious about tour rumors, we got a little insight into the band’s plans for 2022 and beyond.

Oh, and Ben Simmons? Jeff has some thoughts on that situation. Enjoy our conversation, we sure did.
