  • How is it

    people who basically talk for a living can’t get through a sentence without saying “like” one to four times? Is any effort ever made to try and curtail it, at least somewhat? It’s not a high bar to clear, yet… I subscribe to Stab Premium, so three stars total for their five stars content, but only visit the podcast rarely due to the “filler.” “He did about a billion turns on it” It was J-Bay, so maybe a dozen, tops? Ridiculous hyperbole is annoying, also.

    Oh my god I’m not sure if I’m rooting for him because of MC’s net or just because he’s a heel of a nice guy. Either way. Hilarious bet and Deserving Surfer. (MC don’t quit even if you lose.)

  • To be fair.

    Look. I enjoy Mike and his truly in depth surfing insider data and while Stace is a lekka ou, I'm waiting for his breakthrough song moment.

    If you surf, enjoy surfing, follow the wsl/mcs/wcs/ct (sorry not the ct, those people are too busy actually surfing or watching their kid/wif/husb surf) then this longwinded, detailed, professionally realistic and, flippen fantastic show will appeal to you.
