That was a really good interview......except when Bassy steps all over Chris as he's trying to finish a thought.grendel95 said:Listened to the Chris Mauro one today, very different conversation as Bassy knows Mauro well.
Cool insider stories from the surf mag glory days, the dot.com bubble and surprisingly the WSL media machine.
Yeah...Waxfoot said:I used to think the same thing of Bass, but now really enjoy him… just took me a while to ‘get him’.
He’s very self-aware and witty, and open about his own shortcomings, which I find endearing. He's also not afraid to say the things we all think, and I appreciate that kind of candour.
What’s giving me the shits though, is the number of magic sky Jew flavoured episodes spread across the Surf Splendour ‘network’ of podcasts. I realise it's a bit of a thing among surfers for some reason, but still annoys me to be subjected to it.
Waxfoot said:Shouted at Bass a little during the Dan Mann episode, because something along the lines of : 'humans grouped up together to fight against the dinosaurs'![]()
Just started this one - hope he doesn't spend the entire time talking about "tribes".Waxfoot said:Shouted at Bass a little during the Dan Mann episode, because something along the lines of : 'humans grouped up together to fight against the dinosaurs'![]()
Not too long luckily, and Dan Mann's a very interesting character, sop well worth listening to.ciscojaws said:Just started this one - hope he doesn't spend the entire time talking about "tribes".Waxfoot said:Shouted at Bass a little during the Dan Mann episode, because something along the lines of : 'humans grouped up together to fight against the dinosaurs'![]()

Fun fact: Work colleague next to me was all excited to tell me about meeting Ken Ham, and wanted to try help him to bring the ark experience to Australia (that one where they show Dinos on the boat with humans and other animals), because science. I cried myself to sleep.ghostshaper said:no effing way:banghead:
Indeed. I think those definitions explain the divide in our conversation.Waxfoot said:Fair response, I think our definition (and maybe mine’s off the mark) of self-awareness is different. To my mind, self-awareness can be retrospective with the aim to improve, while emotional intelligence is the ‘in the moment’. To be clear, I agree with the examples given and salient point you make at the end, I just tend to give Bass much more benefit of the doubt than saying ‘chauvinist, a xenophobe, a poor attempt at a sensationalist’, as those are quite harsh labels imo.
Yes, it’s a silly way to refer to a silly topic, I just have far too much of it in my life. It’s probably because I have an evangelistic (is that a word?) young-earth creationist sat next to me in the office and my tolerance for the topic has hit an all-time low.
