Rarified Air: World’s greatest surfer Kelly Slater golfs with former President Barack H. Obama, shouts out other famous friends from the links!

"...got a friend here for you."

Yesterday found the world’s greatest surfer Kelly Slater not battling shifting peaks at bigger Sunset, facing down a rightly aggrieved Adriano de Souza, Wade Carmichael and Yago Dora hovering on the wings in their overlapping heat, Joe Turpel in the booth explaining the concept of overlapping heats for the thirteenth time in fifteen minutes to the viewer at home, no.

It found him on a Hawaiian golf course playing a round with former United States President Barack H. Obama and shouting out his other famous friend Anderson.

“Hey Anderson, what’s up bud…” Kelly begins, holding his iPhone (presumably) in selfie mode. “…got a friend here for you…” before tilting the camera to a full-face reveal of Obama, who tells Anderson that his family are big fans.

The Anderson in question is Anderson Paak, a musical artist very worth of praise as evidenced by his phenomenal song Come Down.

Extremely impressive but, over to you, who is the most famous person you could call a “friend?”

For me it is probably Scott Caan (listen here) with a close second being Alyssa Milano whose car I parked, once, when valeting.

Not quite the one-time leader of the free world but still very cool.

Your turn.

Kelly’s version of a no-claim claim

UAE. We go to the second largest mosque in the world which has recently opened. We’re fumbling around in awe at all the amazing stuff when a local guy walks up and asks if we have been to a mosque before. We say nope, thinking things might be about to get a little hairy. He says ‘Do you mind of I show you around? I was part of the team of architects that designed this mosque.’

So we get the royal tour. He’s showing us all the stuff that is not obvious. It’s pretty cool. Then he says ‘What do you think is behind this wall?’ I dunno. He presses, and I’m not kidding here, a secret panel that opens a door that is the entrance to the VIP room. That morning GW Bush had sat in there. And not too long before that, a few days maybe QEII had been hanging out as well. So my arse is eskimo kin with GW and Lizziebet.

Dana Ewell was on my second grade soccer team and he gave me 5 bucks once in third grade. 16 or so years later he went on to murder his mom, dad and sister in order to get that sweet early inheritance. I guess that’s really infamous rather than famous.

When I read Anderson and Kelly in the one article, I instantly thought Pam.. 90’s baywatch Pam. Be happy in thine own selfie Ke11y, she’s cooler than BazO and some millennial muso combined. Just ask Tommy Lee.

Taking one look at the impeachment managers she’s selected, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that even Nancy thinks it a carnival sideshow of freaks.

Kelly: “You’ll never believe who the former President is that I just met at the golf course.”
