In Loving Memory of Jack Macaulay: Mental Health Special ft. Wet Lettuce May 25, 2021

Show notes

It’s with heavy hearts the Swellians take to the air this week. The program lost one of its own in the late great, Jack Macaulay, Gracetown’s finest, son of Dave and Lorraine, brother of Ellie, Laura and Bronte. In this mental health special, the boys go deep on the nature of depression and anxiety, and offer their thoughts on the various solutions.

We also talk the Aussie leg of the Wozzle, and whether our countrymen have a snowflakes chance in a Trump rally of taking out a World Title in the next five years. There’s the synapse melting John John film, theories on why the Brazzzos are officially off their f**king heads good at the minute, Swellian questions, and much, much more.

Take care Swellians. "Fully in, fully out!" - Wim Hoff

TRUTH IS KING! Andy ‘Da Cron-Goat’ King joins the Turtle Gang, Nikki ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ Van Dijk + Shimmy Disco Stoyle for a No-Holes-Barred, Nug-Dropping Extravaganza! May 07, 2021

Show notes

Picture Albert Einstein, if Einey was the son of a hash-importing gangtser, who could also pack a ten foot nugs at Vooey and Pipeline. Now you’re beginning to comprehend the strange genius that dwells inside the battered cranium of Da Cron-Goat, Andy King.

We’ve had some big names and ballsy characters on this program but Kingy takes the mull cake in this one. The new coach of Brazilian superfreakazoid, Gabriel Medina, delivers the crem de la cron in this absolute stoinker of a waffle. ARE. YOU. KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDING. ME.

Not to be outdone, the Turtle Gang (Nikki ‘The Raging Bull Rainbow Serpent’ Van Dijk and Dimity ‘Shimmy Disco’ Stoyle) bring the caviar and disco biscuits to close it out.

Pack one, pop one, rip one, sip one, strap in or strap on, Swellians, this one’s gonna tear you a newy.

It’s about time the Swellians give the lunatics in the west their due respect. From Matt Manners to Camel, Chris Ross to Ry Craike, and many more, we acknowledge the mad core’ishness on the other side of the continent.

We also go deep on Chunny’s mind-melting profile film, Blastoid, and hear the synapse-snapping full story behind one of the most heroic air-drop-tube-turn combos at Tombstones ever.

Fellow Rage Team member and Ain’t That Swell LIVE’s original and most loved guest, Creed Mctaggart, returns to provide expert commentary and reflect on his journey.

We close out the show with an interview with OG Box Lord, Andrew Sheridan, including one of the most fucked up wipeout stories you’ll ever hear, featuring the late great, Todd Chesser.
