#1OTW: Coopers Green + Nowhere Man Brewing

Waz is back from the desert after a trip to Red Bluff.  He gives away all the secret fishing spots, talks of Mu's delicious campfire cooking, surfing with turles at sunrise and his slow transformation to grumpy old man.  We also discuss the morality of Monkey labour and make some ill-informed, ill-throught out commentary on the current state of Covid in Australia.

#1OTW: Bush Chook

The boys are joined by legendary Melbourne folk-rock due Pierce Brothers. Taking one off the wood in the Melbourne studios the boys chat Ben Harper tour stories, playing illegal shows at Wilsons Prom, recording a new album in lockdown and impending parenthood. We also froth over the Urbnsurf wavepool and discuss what condiment would be most likely to lure you out of the bushes....

The Pierce Brothers have just released a new single called Kanko - for tour dates and more checkout www.piercebrothers.com.au

WARNING: Deep surf chat!  The first 30 mins of this podcast go into some deep surf chat with Waz giving a stirring description of a recent barell ride, it's cliche, self indulgent and we love it, so enjoy!  We also touch on playground injuries, messages in a bottle and witness payouts.... And as usual, we reminiss on adventures past and get excited about adventures future!
