Disgraced: Plagiarism scandal rocks surf media!

Worse than the USC admissions scandal! Maybe!

I don’t listen to podcasts, even though I ask you to sometimes (sorry), or when I’m driving sixteen hours in falling snow to Jackson, Wyoming. Then I listen to either David Lee Scales and me (when I want to torture my family and teach my daughter a lesson for daring to play Drake out loud) or Disgracedland. A podcast about bad antics by famous musicians.

It is not particularly good, mostly over-dramatized and verbose, but has moments of funny when the host isn’t being overly-dramatic and verbose.

He begins each episode talking about some random bad song then tying it directly to the current subject. Maybe Jerry Lee Lewis murdering all his wives and whichever southern state he calls home turning a blind eye or some Norwegian black metal group burning churches.

Then it gets funny and the annoying host drops away.

Well, I listened to the first 30 seconds of Stab’s new podcast offering The Drop the other day because its headline suggested that “artistic people Smoke “pot” and insecure people drink and “do” cocaine and the  “do”cocaine got me.

Buy here!

What was host Ashton Goggans feat. opinionated longboarder Joel Tudor on about?

I listened to the first 30 seconds and instantly realized that Ashton Goggans directly plagiarized the only other podcast I’ve ever listened to besides my own (when Drake is playing out loud). And not just borrowing the style/élan but trying on the vocal stylings, word choice, low grade ironic business as if it was his very own.

A massive scandal on par with the burgeoning USC admissions issue feat. a famous skateboarder yet to be named!

Ashton?

I know you are angry with me for calling the cops on me and then for me petting your gorgeous beard, but can I still give you some advice like I used to?

If you are going to maliciously rob another man’s work at least toss some personalized whatevers in the mix.

At least twist the thing and make it look like it’s your own funky yet robustly hatable take.

You’re welcome!

And please deliver my regards to the Orange County detectives when you chat with them next.

Viva the revolution!

Some surf critiques at large have created a whole career arround ripping of the words and styles of truly gifted writers , and runnning the style through a little surf blender to create what they sell as thier art , sorry but i call that bullshit.

Hmmmm, it was an excellent podcast, did anyone actually listen to it?

I started it with dread, but JT was humble (for him) and informative. A knowledgeable account of a huge swathe of surf history. If only beach grit could aspire to do the same!

So Tudor goes on podcast with chubby, yellow beanie-wearing fuckwit but refuses to engage with Beachgrit “trolls”. Funny. Cheap. Character revealing. Clearly just out to self-promote.

But you haven’t seen the mueller report yet. Only what Trump’s hand-picked AG says it says. Somehow he strikes me as a less than perfectly credible source.

Chas! Haven’t you heard that interview Ashton did with Rory Parker when he first started at Stab? Drugs are his go to when he wants you to think he is a really cool guy. Ashton is one of the cool kids – he takes loads of drugs everyday, I know because he told Rory. Probably why he has such a fancy beard to hide all the weeping Impetigo sores all over his face.
