You both literally laughed at the fartman joke. Listen to the tape. Sept 12 2025
Such a great listen. Spend many a drive cruising along with the fellas. Always something good. 5/5
This is my favorite surf podcast mostly because it isn’t about surfing. I’m no media reviewer…but this is 5 star fun all the way.
This is the beat podcast for real.
