Stab Podcast: No Shits Taken

This week: generational swell events, Nicolas Cage, and targeted bowel movements.

Rasta Rob’s been 11 days without a bowel movement. Some serious plumbing issues. Somehow, though, he’s still in the running for the Monster Air award in Stab Highway.

In more relevant news, Mikey and Buck dig into the swell that rocked New Jersey, along with another, less relevant Gold Coast bump.

Shifting back to the topic of bodily functions, we chat with Chris Papaleo (aka Salty Beards), who roasted Covid-era surfers so fiercely on Instagram that a coiled brown snake mysteriously showed up on his doorstep.

And in more somber notes, we unpack the recent spate of shark attacks in South Australia, plus a Nicholas Cage surf film down in West Oz.
