Listen: “24/7 should’ve treated Kelly Slater as an insane person like Tiger King. Every year that passes he gets more and more weirdly fascinating”

One hour of levity for these troubled times…

I ain’t no broadcaster.

This you’ll learn very early in a weekly conversational piece Chas and I are kicking live every Sunday night, in Australia, Saturday morning in the US, called Dirty Water.

There’s no need to bore the reader with a litany of my public frailties, the weak voice, the unformed thoughts, for these become immediately obvious. Instead, we promise when you’re in our company although you may have moments of irritation you will never be bored.

And we hope that means a great deal.

We begin with discourse on the nature of the Emmy nominated Kelly Slater documentary for 24/7.

“We haven’t reached peak Kelly yet and every year that passes he gets more and more weirdly fascinating,” says Chas. “This HBO 24/7 should’ve been peak Kelly. And that’s the damn thing. They should’ve figured out, we don’t have an athlete on our hands, we have an insane person like the Tiger King.”

Note: Chas is yet to see film, although you can watch trailer here.

I preach to Chas the limitless thrills bodysurfing gifts and ask, “Have you seen the Keith Malloy movie Come Hell or High Water?

“I mean, no!’ he says. “Bodysurfing is for four year olds and insane people.”

Watch trailer here.

We veer into Matt Biolos’ hunt for Commies, read this for background, hear Chas’ cuckold fantasies with Biolos’ bête noire Gavin Newsom and his “delicious dick”, we discuss whether or not Matt George will ever be accepted by BeachGrit readers, talk about our Filipe Toledo movie that’s never been released and bookend the conversation with a Kelly Slater singalong, including Trouble and Never.

I want some of your weed Bexy.

Chief Hot stuff

I haven’t smoked any for about 8 months. Got scared of th mobile drug tests.
It’s a shame cause I drive very slowly when high.

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

Mobile drug tests???? What the fuck? They have checkpoints where they can test you for weed in your system?

Chief Hot stuff

Yes and can be busted for being stoned 2 days earlier.
So if you have weed in your system, have a crash with injuries fatalities you will be tested and if weed found you have insurance invalid and may go to jail
Totally ruin you.

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

Wow. They will invalidate your insurance. Seems like they would do that if you had a crash while driving after drinking too. This law seems to benefit the insurance industry too, so they can claim that they don’t need to reimburse others for damages, because Bexy had trace amounts of marijuana in his blood, so he needs to pay for his negligence, not us, the insurance company. I’m glad this isn’t happening in the U.S. (Maybe it has in some states). They seem to be relaxing the laws about marijuana here, but driving stoned or with any intoxicating substance in your system seems to be getting a lot more attention here too. Maybe we will be like this in a couple years too?

Chief Hot stuff

Yeah it’s all pointing to total population control. Especially now
They can’t test for coke, cause the rich cunts wldnt like that
t’s totally worked in getting me off pot but I’ve found other things… The Internet has its uses

Yesterday's hero

I want to interview his girlfriend to explore the true depths of his dysfunctional existence that crackles and pops behind that bald veil.

Beef & Beer

I just wish Kelly would let his hair grow for a few months or even a year to let us see what he really looks like beyond the eternal vanity now we’ve (actually not me as I refused to push play on his insta song) heard his apparently goddamn awful plunking and wailing.
Surely he can’t look more of an insane serial killer than he sounds (by all trusted reports)…
