"Kelly Slater getting p-p-p-paid!"
You’ve seen Kelly Slater on the world’s most famous podcast sitting there across from the equally bald Joe Rogan. You’ve also likely seen Shane Dorian, also bald, discussing big waves and hunting. Today you shall see Hawaiian mixed martial artist Max Holloway, friend of Makuakai Rothman etc.
The conversation veers to surfing as Max was recently featured in a program that showcased his ability. Joe talks about surfing being a difficult thing mostly because the ocean is a difficult place, albeit solved by Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch.
Max counters that he’s heard it feels different than surfing an actual wave. Joe adds, without seeming to have experience, that it is more predictable and a great “hack” as it were, like running on a treadmill.
“Imagine all the practice you could get.” He says.
The two continue to chat about Surf Ranch when an offscreen voice, the producer I believe, says he read on ESPN that it cost $10,000 per hour to surf the inland facility.
The ensuing banter is absolutely priceless.
😂😂😂 “the producer I believe” damn Jamie just got fucking promoted. How the fuck is this news lol? You literally described 5 minutes of a podcast 😂
I wish you good luck in this in endeavor. I don’t even think the rich would bother paying 10 grand a hour no matter how fancy this place
Joe stand up: idiot jock talks about interesting things
Joe pod: idiot jock dribbles feces from mouth
Neither worth engaging with
So many podcasts, hard to sift the good from the terrible. The worst thing about the Joe Rogan show is Joe Rogan. The Art of Manliness has probably the worst name of any podcast but it’s one of the better ones
podcasts are a god damn quagmire.
There are good ones to be found, but yeah, it’s a shit fight.
giggity
It must suck having the attention span and intelligence leave of a crack addicted chihuahua.
Lets ride bikes!
The old ones with Joe and Duncan Trussell were some of the best podcasts ever aired…
The newer ones are hit and miss depending on the guest…
What makes him a jock? Because he is into martial arts and is physically fit? You got picked on all thru high school I bet. Probably for being a soft tub of shit. Most likely you still are so you get offended by anyone that doesn’t lay in bed till 2pm and doesn’t call their mom a “stupid bitch” when she brings home the wrong kind of Mountain Dew and Hot Pockets.
You’re wrong my friend. But that was entertaining. Happy holidays.
Oh great, Surfline’s North Shore forecast is calling for tomorrow to look a lot like Tuesday. Hopefully they’re 100% wrong again and it’s actually firing.

I would no go back to the Surf Ranch until they dropped the price considerably.
Rogan needs to be fact checked on this 10K assertion. It’s Fing 1000% wrong. Cost is $100 per day, or $200 for a 3-pass.
Spatter may (I have no idea) charge 10k for a days worth of private lessons. However, this not what came out of the podcast. Google it.
You know it’s not possible to be 1000% of anything. 100% is all you get my man. Work on those facts.
Joe’s stand up is funny, but his podcasts (including this clip) are often not funny and overly drawn out even at 1.5x speed. I am baffled that he has the #1 podcast.
I find his stand up horrendous. The poddy can be good depending on the guest(s).
Max Holloway seems like a legit cunt though so might give it a listen.. maybe.
I’ll watch an 8 minute snippet on youtube if it’s a good guest (like this clip) but no way I can commit to 2 hours.
Yeah because I bet your time is so precious and worth it’s weight in gold. Are you some amazing neurosurgeon or something like that?
Not every podcast is going to be amazing and a must listen. Also, just because Rogan is a stand-up comedian that doesn’t mean that everything he does must be comical. He’s done almost 1.5k podcasts and I’ve listened/watched all but maybe 200. The bulk of them are really interesting. Gotta have an open mind.
I think I’d rather watch Ted Talks…..
Fuck watching that garbage. I learned my lesson already…
Shane Dorian, a former guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast, asked to comment on the Kelly Slater Wave Ranch and its exorbitant pricing, responded:
“Yeah, like you know, it’s kind of a tricky thing to talk about. I have to decide whether to go ‘full draw,’ you know? It’s pretty pricey for normal people, but it’s a great wave. So fun. Jax loves it. The WSL and Kelly have been so generous to let us surf it. You know, with my background in hunting, with bows and whatnot and being able to control my breathing to a degree, I think it’s cool. It’s such a nice facility… I think it’s great that it is going to be on Tour again next year… we were thinking of scheduling a trip in October or sometime, try to time it with the Elk hunting season. Would love to go full draw and get me one of them. Anyway, Kelly’s my friend… well, obviously, so it’s cool. i would say it’s a full draw, f’sure.”
Kelly has a friend?
Fucking gibberish
why be normal!

I’m sure he could arrange to combine the two; elk hunting with a crossbow while getting fake-barrels.
Raimana can flush the elk back-n-forth up the sides of the pool whilst whistling and shouting at Shane to “Have fun!!” as hi-perf steel shoots from the tube at the terrified, screaming animals. Their hooves slipping on the wet concrete and blood slowly turning the pool pink.
Kelly will help out his pal by dragging off the carcasses with his electric bike, while holding an animated conversation with himself about how much good he is doing the planet.
I think if you listen to a few JR podcasts you’ve heard em all, very few exceptions. I like him, but they’re all too long. Leave us wanting something !
I would love for BeachGrit to write something that remotely resembles an online magazine article one of these days. I feel like I’m doing all the fucken heavy lifting around here.
You keep me hanging on Wiggs. You are the wind beneath my Wiggs.
I did a whole expose on Maverick a month ago!
Fark sorry mate I must have missed it between the endless rehashing of wave pool and shark articles. Why don’t you just pretend you’re on the North Shore covering Pipe and write fake interviews and stories slandering all the pricks who are actually over there. That’s what your literary idols would have wanted. Not this shit.
Fake is the new genuine!
Oh damn it. You’re right.
I remember you covered a CT contest in Euro…. France or Portugal from a cafe miles away…. or getting your haircut (classic), buying a loaf of bread, anything but surfing. I fucking loved it.
A mate on the trip read it after me and was incensed…. “He wasn’t even at the contest”….. that was the best part in my opinion.
Wait, was it getting a complicated coffee and cigarettes? Oh man, so good.
Oh man that was fun….. A genuinely fun run. I think I hit France, Mundaka and Portugal. And by “hit” I mean haircuts etc.
Isn’t this why Rory got sacked/quit?
I admire your minimize work, maximise reward strategy.
With multiple articles about sharks and other dubious sea life every week, BG does seem to be becoming the Nature Channel of online surf mags.
Before jobs start I’m never shy on telling new clients “You get what you pay for”
But once paid and I’m ignoring their phonecalls its just another bullshit saying.
Take what you want from these words Wigg’s.
Nothing like word of mouth advertising. But I spose there’s a lotta broken pipes in the shaky isles.
you used to be hotter bex
Beauty is in the eye of whoever owns me.
Cunts calling on Sundays and after hours deserve an ignored phone call
Hey! It’s our very own New Idea. We don’t need another Women’s Weekly. Or do we?
Good horoscopes you must admit
wank off to your self much?
Yeah true. Sorry about that.
Apologize to someone else mate. Go and give ya self a good ripping
You want fucken heavy lifting? Get back to ironing board bitch.
We got a big load in last night (plus some clothes to iron) we’ve got to get through.
No time to wasting on here!
Also a xmas mullcake recipe would be great content.
$99 to walk through the gates, does not get you in the water Joe.
Although, Kelly, if you are looking for some more publicity for El Rancho, I could be the tallest person to surf it. Alls it would take is an airline ticket, accommodation, meal allowance and somewhere to sleep for a week to ten days. Get your people to talk to my people. Make this happen!*
*Offer available to all other wavepools. (I’m not discriminating on any grounds whatsoever, based on my experiences as a vertically un-challenged white man).
Maybe if you actually watch the clip, you’d realize that they actually look up how much it costs and apologize
Yeah, I did. Which is why I pointed out that $99 was how much to get in.It does not get you in the water on a wave. Thanks BJ.
I didn’t listen
But expect a rich bald cunt
To smell a rip off
TLDW: Joe “$10,000? You can suck all the dick, I ain’t paying that”
It’s $100 a day. Rogan should be a stand up guy and broadcast both an apology and a correction.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about surfing, but I know better than to Fuck with another man’s livelihood.
If you’re surfing Kelly’s pool for $100 a day, why are you so angry?
You really think that Rogan was fucking with Slaters livelihood? Honestly? Do you honestly think him saying that, whether it was factual or not, is going to in any way negatively affect Kelly Slaters bank account? Why do you care anyway? You getting paid to suck Slaters off?
Fuck, I paid $15k.
Got took.
