“Diplo dropped in on me last summer so many times on his stupid foam board..."
Minnie Driver, the actress famous for playing Debbi Newberry in Grosse Pointe Blank, firmly established herself as no. 1 grumpy local after publicly destroying famed DJ Diplo in a wide-ranging interview on the well-loved Table Manners podcast. Driver, 54 and a surfer of some note, pulled zero punches whatsoever, “naming and shaming” Kelly Slater’s friend for being a massive kook.
“First of all, I need to tell you what dropping in on someone is,” Driver opened her salvo. “In the water, there is an etiquette when you surf that people follow, and it is largely for safety, and it’s also because of respect. It’s just how (expletive deleted) works.”
Just warming up, the sprightly brunette continued, “What happens when you paddle out, first of all, you don’t take the first wave that comes because you’ve just paddled out, you let it cycle through the people that are already there. So here’s the deal.” And if you don’t? Well, “it’s a really (expletive deleted) thing to do as bad things happen in the water when people do that.”
Stage set, it was go time.
“Diplo dropped in on me last summer so many times on his stupid foam board. He was out with a mate of mine so I wasn’t allowed to say, ‘Would you stop it and have some respect? Also, you can’t surf.’ I was so annoyed. It’s also like, if you’re gonna come to Malibu and like, buy your big house, and suddenly consider yourself a surfer, and paddle out, and piss off the people that have lived there for years, you’re gonna get outed on a podcast. I’d rather shame him than go and do what he did.”
Wow.
Just wow.
Congratulations to Minnie Driver for establishing herself as our queen. To be honest, I did not see that coming this morning.
All hail, etc.

Wait. What the shit? I thought a Mini Driver was simply a Lost board model.

My mates a Minnie driver, the fuken old things worth about a hundred gees.!!
Everyone know she a freaky girl…get off the Minnie Driver on to a Dumpster Diver…small waves just got fun again Dane.
Isn’t mini driver the model name of a Biolos shape or something?!
She was named after the board
Nice!
If Jonah Hill starts White-Knighting for Minnie, it could get entertaining. Also, Chas will have months worth of grist for the mill.
minnie driver grasps lineup etiquette better than most surfers.
not a sentence i thought i would ever type.
I’d like to see her interview EeLow, and get him to spill the wosl beans.
Surely he’d answer her calls, unlike Chas’s…
Driving up the clicks Chas. Bravo.
Minnie Driver is (still) hot
I’ve never gotten a good vibe off of her. But then, I can’t imagine a DJ with a fake DJ name, that I could stand, either.
dj’s killed disco. exasperated rap. hate rap/
Over the loud speakers: “Dane please report to the commentator’s booth…”
DJ D-Sol is the savior of all DJs
Sea Fever
By John Masefield
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
The pot calling the kettle black…
“Oh yeah, she’s a real peach!”
Minnie Driver’s years-long war with her neighbor has finally come to an end … TMZ has learned.
According to legal docs … Minnie and her neighbor, Daniel Perelmutter,
reached a settlement in their heated dispute over their property line.
The exact terms of their peace agreement are not included in the docs —
but sources connected to both parties tell us money did change hands.
The case was scheduled to go to trial soon.
We’ve chronicled their battles since 2015. Highlights
include Minnie claiming Daniel blew cigar smoke in her children’s faces
and told her to “f*** off and die” — and Daniel suing Minnie for chucking baby food jars filled with paint at his house. She also got a restraining order against him.
Rich white trash behavior. 🤣
shaman dropped her off…
Do you live next to her???
live with mona…https://youtu.be/3vu_hiGOrRI?si=9dx…
Blood Feud, Blood Feud, Blood Feud!
WoW, I’ve never wanted to drop in on a kook, as bad as I do this skank.
Scorn, could you please outline your problems with Minnie’s very appropriate comments?
It makes you want to stuff them. Glad the hollyweird pommy found her something to post on her instakook account about.
Ok, but he sounds like the bigger kook here, so why not vitriol towards him?
I don’t know him! I only know this pommy kook, that is a hazard in the water.
This is what I see: https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
But I assume it’s something like “fucken bitch DEI CRT BLM transgender groomer communist you’re the one who’s sexist/racist ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”
Kudos for the block. Strong option.
on the one hand, have zero sympathy for a person who willingly paddles out at Malibu (assume that’s where this happened).
On the other, have had a huge crush on Minnie ever since ‘them apples’ and this just confirms my love was justified.
She was hawt in that. I can’t put my finger on it but something about her british accent combined with looking like she has marbles in her mouth when she speaks.
she’s 6’4″…150#
the kind of woman you’d want by your side when things got dicey in a port salerno bar
grench quarter…
She’s 5’10”
how much volume?
doesn’t quite hit the same when I go back to watch it now, but at the time I thought that bar scene and the ‘them apples’ line was the greatest thing ever put on screen. And she was phenomenal — Robin Williams all time too. Just a great all around flic.
Great movie
Yeah I’ve always had a crush on her too.
Plus Diplo comes from Mississippi, which is further from the coast than any place in the UK, so she wins some made-up ‘closest to the ocean’ credit.
Mississippi is on the coast though?
Ah shit yes it is.
My bad.
