Ain't that Swell hits apogee at dirty ol Victorian bowling club…
During the recent Bells surfing carnival, the podcast Ain’t That Swell put on a live show at the Torquay Bowling Club, a sports joint for old people on the waterfront there in that lizardy surf town.
Over two-and-a-half hours, Vaughan Dead (Goons of Doom frontman, bro of Ronnie, writer, surf identity etc) and Jed Smith (likes weed and getting jerked off on massage tables) made a very good interview with Kelly Slater, who licked his lips and opened his mouth wide to catch Vaughan and Jed’s consecrated whiskey rainfall.
Kelly explains why he jumped on Adriano’s world title with the pool reveal (“I wanted to put it out before Pipe even happened!”) and various other things and Vaughan talks of making out with Layne Beachley at the Rip Curl Media Night some years ago.
Some of the stories will make you weep, some whimper.
Substantial.

if they DIDN’T scream ” UTFS !!!! ” every 6 seconds, it would be much more enjoyable….
After listening I decided to get another hit of Rick Kane on YT.
Says it’s produced by William Finnegan.
Barbarian Days Finnegan?
The karate stick story had me laughing my ass off and a little nostalgic for when pro surfers had personality
occ was good in this. much better than his podcasts.
And what of Slater’s Occ impression? Does it score in the excellent range?
Better than Ger’s.
I only listened to half of it, did they ask him about his environmental hypocrisy?
No. Luckily no boring questions like that…
I have to be honest I would have pinned the goat to the fucking wall about that. Not because I love the environment but I just can’t stand blatant hypocrisy. One dude asked about his massive goat schlong. I think this was the perfect time to slip in a where you flying next you fucking hypocrite question.
I’m gonna give it a go in a few mins once I am tucked up in bed.
I might also listen to the show at some point soon too.
I see what you did there
You will enjoy.
fucken bum lickers.
Every last man of them.
Oh shit
Yay
Let’s all hear from Kelly and Occ for the millionth time.
UTFS!!!
if Occ gets some minor dental work I reckon he could probably become PM one day, he’s fuckin’ magic and makes my heart tingle.
You like him
But you wanna throw him under a bus.
Gov general be more his thing.

He’s a beautiful man!
It is very good. I’m actually back to liking Slater again, which I’m sure was all part of the plan.
He’s away from the yes men,
