A vigorous shade of tan-adjacent.
Days ago, our World Surf League unveiled its brand new web series Getting Heated hosted by Mick Fanning and Ross Williams wherein those two “most opinionated personalities in the sport” engage in “the hottest debate.” I had been hearing about the concept for months now from various industry sources. It was supposed to be a version of ESPN’s First Take featuring Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman and Molly Qerim Rose, a beautiful rainbow of diversity, but somehow ended up Mick and Ross.
Now ponder hard. Has there every been a more whitewashed couple in filmographic history? Strap down that thinking cap. Director Leni Riefenstahl came close in the 1930s but fell short of Getting Heated’s monotone consistency. Possibly David Crane’s NBC hit Friends but, again, lacking the same exact vigorous shade of tan-adjacent.
A wonderful metaphor for the WSL, I think. Aiming for something, pulling the bowstring back, letting the arrow fly and missing the mark so robustly as to be considered performance art.
David Lee and I discussed Getting Heated today along with Popeye’s famous chicken sandwiches, pretzel buns, skiing, Ariel Pink and Bells Beach.
Feel free to listen to it now or later.
Right, I found your friend’s pictures on Instagram. Man! What a thrill
david lee! whoop whoop!
Tony, the has been , bit like Trump the loser , and liz and her inbreds….I think ol’ Andy would be a perfect King…Boris has just been so amazing for the UK…and sounds like you have found a like minded bed fellow in Bob….wow how good Australia been for you…let you in with your Thai bride , now an expat Irishman who fancy’s you….how goods Straya!

1) the American people (along with most of the western world) have proved they are not responsible enough to use self-publishing platforms, whether they be Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc. Disband it all now. Licenses should be granted for online publication platforms as they are with radio stations. Urgent intervention is needed.
2) the McSpicy chicken burger, currently available at Maccas in Aus is the best fast food burger I’ve ever had (not counting Oporto… or Belporto… but still, v. Good)
yeah I love this time of the year , Invasion day is a happy day that we call it on it’s merits….and we are getting ready educate or eradicate non- Australian behavour , and deport the pommie colonialist’s that lurk in the shadows
ya skin’s too thick ?
we are going to have Elos abound in every PC corner of the govt, every fuckin office of “doing nothing” affairs… tons of useless bureaucrats with no real skin in the game trying to pander to their brainwashed constituents
you’ll be fine Bex. go surfing.
So you are an expert on gay…..why not faggy ?
He may be right Brutus.
A guy can be gay, and not act faggy.
I would much rather be gay and not act faggy, than to be str8 and act faggy.
I love the 70’s soundtrack intro! Straight from a hardcore movie!
2 white guy podcasters calling out 2 other white guy podcasters for being too white? Did I get that right?
2 WOKE white guy podcasters calling out 2 white guy podcasters, is that better?
Is Chas woke? This article and his books seem to suggest so.
Yes!
My wife glanced over in bed as I was reading BG before bed to calm myself. She noticed the photo of two tan guys covered in tattoos embraced and about to kiss. She simply said “I would.” Then I went to sleep.

Bex..I have 2 that are going into Uni next year.
From what I hear, the first 3 rows are Chinese and their interpreters.
Now…the only way you get to sit in those 3 rows is if your parents are high in the CCP. Fact.
The Herald Sun today even said how the others are there to rat out the enemies of the CCP.
Thank fuck for Covid..mine got their first choices.
If I had no kids I could give a fuck. They are now putting a block on our cherries.
Fucking children
Ive been to Trump Tower in the 80’s. I was no fan of the guy.
Until…..he told us before the election that it was not the muzzies we need to worry about, but the Chinese.
I was on board. The guy is a pig in a China shop, but we needed him IMO.
China has got very aggressive with Australia since Trump was out of the picture weeks ago.It aint gonna get any better as we all know.
WSL say that Mick’s wit is as sharp as his rail game. What a load of dog shit.
FFS Bex…it’s 2021
More like faggy
taken a shine to Bex I see , you 2 could get a room now that borders are open now.
Bex already has admitted to “young girls young boys, transgender”
I would, but I’m pretty sure he’s in a hot zone.
I was enjoying the company of Little Creatures Coconut Stout a bit too much last night Brutus.
Do the right thing next time and tell me to go to bed so I don’t have to come back and read all my cringe shit.
Guy is a yes man, just like the rest of them.
Fanning the boring surfers boring surfer.
He just needs a Red Monkey Full Moon. They happen every ten thousand years…
so boring. sooooooo fucking boring. as soon as you hear his voice you think, “oh fuck me who is this dumb boring vanilla fuck”
Shaun Tomson might give him a run for his money.
