You know da rulz, Florida is the new Sion 🤙🇨🇷♥️
Yes, comedy is mental gymnastics… I was also a rent and I’ve been deflecting for decades… This is awesome that our girl had you on. Looks like you made the big time ha ha ha I’m laughing in Miami. I met two girls that do an ice hockey podcast it’s very popular… Now I’ve got all my sports covered Dale Junior for racing Sterling for surfing and the double D girls for hockey… Thanks for the entertainment. I’m hoping in my lifetime CT becomes more of a headline topic… I forgot two bags of groceries at Publix yesterday… My Essential tremors are getting worse… When you’re an athlete and you block a lot of things with your head… It’s all adding up unfortunately… Love you like a son I never had. 🎉
Runt not Rent. CTE
Also another thing we have in common… I contacted Gabby about her ortho surgeries and her husband… I actually paid cash and went to their doctor for diagnosis on my left knee in Beverly Hills California… Gabby helped got me an appointment
We love you Sterlz awesome you and Gabby did this!!
We love you sterling - I get chills hearing your story & so happy for you that you're on the mend. You're a gift, helping others & making us laugh.
Sterling and Ryan's content is life changing. Makes the world a lot better because of them.
Yeah!!! Sterling, laughter is good for the soul,I've told my son that being to serious is not to healthy, life's to short. Making people laugh and smile is good for both you and them. To many people out there all pissed off,hostile,have hate in they're heart. Knowing that we as humans are imperfect is key. 🤙.
I have always noticed the emotional intellect Sterling has in his podcast, despite it being so hilarious. It is super cool of Gabby to invite him on to showcase that and to share his story that can help others.
YOU KNOW DA RUUUUULEZZZZ
Damn came here for Sterling and stayed for Gabby. You’re a fantastic podcaster/interviewer. Subscribed.

Hi from Bren
Can you give your top 5 supplements you take? I had a surf head injury but got very lucky. I would like to see if I can benefit from some.
I believe he said brain rescue 3
You’re both great. First time I’ve ever heard of Sterling. Can’t believe his wisdom. He looks like Jim Morrison reincarnated sober.
Appreciate you Sterling - you’re such a pure soul ❤ sending you love and healing
Love your story, Sterling❤❤

😮
Thank you so much, Gabby and Sterling for this. This is such an amazing story and such an inspiration. I’ve struggled with mental illness since I was 14 years old I’m 38 now and it goes to show with hard work and diligence. Things can become much better overtime God bless you both!
You know da rules..sterls is a legend
Thank you sterling!🙏🤝 “it’s a journey, but you can figure it out”..your story over the last couple years has helped me figure out what happened to me and I can’t thank you enough
Gabby, great call… You helped my Surf brother with the head and you and laird helped me with my Ortho🦵. You should have me on and we could do a podcast about our daughters the same age… I just got to pay for tires and brakes… Love you guys.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your story! Even though my husband's symptoms were different, your ideas are inspiring!!!
Well done Gabby!🎉
You know de rulez!
This was an amazing podcast. I discovered after a hernia operation that I’ve got two heart issues and ended up having heart surgery after hernia surgery, heart surgery ended up with a collapsed lung and internal bleeding not fun ! … haven’t been able surf for 18 months the longest I’ve been out for 35 years. It’s been a struggle to accept my new life post heart diagnosis and traumatic surgery. But I’m getting better and stronger. Therapy has been important. Great to hear Spencer’s journey always loved him back in the day as a surfer and comedian ! The Jeremy Flores sketch being peak 😂 anyways really appreciated hearing this journey back from hell and I can certainly relate. Ps Also been living pinch my salt🙏🏽
Most Excellent ¿
both are amazing
gabby you are an amazing host, really good questions and patience and such warm sweet listening ability. Rare to see these days
keep doing it!
You know da rulez! 🤙
As a Floridian that lived on the North Shore for 10 yrs in the 90's, the transition was not difficult "learning" the water in Hawaii. It felt natural, and adapting to the volume of water moving was fun and exciting
Wow! Great interview! Gabby did a great job at stirring the conversation to bring out a side of Sterling that we've never seen. Over an hour of heartfelt story telling made it well therapeutic for myself. Mahalo's for sharing!!!
Great episode Gabby, thank you for helping shine some light on brain injuries. Sterling , thanks for having the courage to come on here and talk about your experience. On a lighter note Sterling you and Ryan a creating some of the funniest content on RUclips each week. To anyone who has never seen Pinch My Salt it's worth giving it a chance.
Was cool to see Gabby's Pod Cast she is great..super good with the questions.. Sterling thanks for being real and vulnerable.
I appreciate your story. Mahalo brah for the candid and honest story of your struggle. 🤙🙏
Would this mentality also apply to migraines? Every doctor just treats it as a headache... should it be handled more seriously?
Great interview & thanks for sharing! I am a stunt man who has been dealing with a brain injury. Hearing some one talk about their experience gives me hope. Thank you Spencer!
Great interview Sterling is legit. I'm addicted to Laird's coffee and creamer's 👍🤙
#1 at what?
Great episode!
I just hearing your voice!! You and Ryan bring a smile to my face
This was an awesome ride, loving these episodes Gabby!

Great questions from Gabby, with valuable answers from Sterlz. Good stuff guys!
Sterlz with the leg day!
Hahaha #1 surfer of all time
