On this episode of The Palm and Pine Podcast, the boys of Old Florida trace their rugged Scottish heritage and the pioneer spirit that helped shape the Sunshine State. From Highland grit to cracker cattle country, we explore how Scottish roots run deeper in Florida than most folks realize.

And before the orange aprons of The Home Depot ever rolled into town, real Florida men shopped at the legendary, long-forgotten big box hardware empire — Scotty’s. If you grew up in Florida, you remember the jingle, the smell of lumber, and the feeling that Scotty’s was practically a rite of passage.

Then it’s time for the Wild Florida News segment:

🐗 A Florida man goes viral after allegedly cleaning and eating a wild boar raw near Mar-a-Lago — because of course this happened in Florida.

🌊 And Steve breaks down a shocking and bizarre incident making headlines along the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, proving once again that the boardwalk stays undefeated when it comes to chaos.

From Scottish ancestry to swamp-side survival instincts, this episode blends Florida history, cultural pride, and the kind of wild news stories that only happen in the Free State of Florida.

If you love Florida history, Florida Man news, Old Florida storytelling, and a little Highland blood mixed with palmetto grit — this one’s for you.

🎧 Subscribe, rate, and share with someone who remembers Scotty’s before the big chains took over.

Today on the Palm and Pine Podcast, the boys of Old Florida dive headfirst into the AI revolution — and whether artificial intelligence can ever truly understand real Florida living.

Between swapping classic Old Florida stories and tackling the future of tech, the conversation turns to one of the Sunshine State’s most unspoken truths: the sacred Florida dad-and-son code. In Florida, mutual respect isn’t just taught — it’s understood… especially when both parties are well-armed and well-prepared. But in this week’s Florida Man News, one father-and-son duo took that unwritten rule way too far.

And because it’s Valentine’s season, you know Florida Man had to make it weird. One lovestruck legend decided to surprise his stripper girlfriend with flowers and a stack of cash… except the cash turned out to be counterfeit. Nothing says romance like federal charges.

From AI and tradition to firearms culture, Florida values, and the wildest headlines in the state, this episode is packed with humor, commentary, and classic Palm and Pine analysis.

If you love Florida Man stories, Old Florida culture, Second Amendment talk, and unfiltered takes on modern life — this one’s for you.

🌴 Welcome to Florida. Buckle up

Think every Florida man lives at the beach? Think again.

On this episode of the Palm and Pine Podcast, the boys of Old Florida bust one of the biggest myths about the Sunshine State — most real Florida folks rarely see the beach… and some have never laid eyes on the ocean. From cattle pastures and pine flats to fish camps and backwoods riverbanks, this is the Florida tourists never post about.

We break down what real Florida truly is — far from condos, cruise ships, and coastal clichés.

Then it’s time for the wildest Florida Man headlines of the week, including an all-out pickleball court brawl in Volusia County that proves even America’s fastest-growing retirement sport can turn into full-contact combat.

And because no episode is complete without honoring old Florida roots, the boys perform the classic Old Folks at Home by Stephen Foster — a song deeply tied to Florida history and the Suwannee River tradition. It’s a tribute to the cultural backbone of Old Florida… delivered Palm and Pine style.

To wrap it up, we revisit Southern Rule #3 — never “wear out your welcome.” A timeless lesson every Southern mama teaches her boys… though Florida Man doesn’t always listen.

On today’s episode of the Palm and Pine Podcast, the boys of Old Florida retrace the legendary travels of naturalist William Bartram through Levy County, revisiting his historic meeting with the Great White Chief at the Seminole trading hub of Talahasochtee.

Along the way, the conversation turns to one of Florida’s most fascinating and forgotten traditions: Yaupon holly tea, also known as ceremonial black drink. The boys walk you step-by-step through how to brew your own Yaupon tea—the only naturally caffeinated plant native to North America and once the original energy drink of Old Florida.

Learn how Yaupon brews beautifully as a green tea, packed with antioxidants and health benefits, while delivering a smooth, gentle caffeine buzz. History, culture, and caffeine collide as the boys sip black tea and bring Old Florida back to life—one cup at a time.

Grab your mug and come along for the journey.

Today on the Palm & Pine Podcast, the boys of old Florida tackle the most sacred tool every real Florida man owns: the lawnmower. It’s a true love–hate relationship down here—when you can mow year-round but somehow only manage to cut sand, weeds, and pure frustration.

From busted blades to eternal yard work, the guys break down Florida lawn culture and why the mower is basically a lifestyle, not just a machine.

Then it’s time for Florida Man News, and things go completely off the rails. One Florida man finds himself dating a knife-throwing Florida woman (because of course he does), while another Florida man takes romance to an entirely new level… with a vacuum cleaner. Yes. That really happened.

Wild stories, old Florida wisdom, and the kind of chaos only the Sunshine State can provide—this episode has it all. Strap in, fire up the mower, and enjoy another unfiltered ride with the Palm & Pine Podcast.

Professor Barlow puts the Riddler on the hot seat today, attempting to guess just how many fired football coaches and former college presidents are still drawing a paycheck from the University of Florida. From there, the boys dive headfirst into some of the most unbelievable—but very real—Florida news making headlines right now.

A 21-year-old Florida man is arrested for illegally killing 13 alligators at night, and in a story that could only happen in the Sunshine State, a live hand grenade rolls out of a holiday donation box at a Florida Goodwill.

It’s a fast-moving episode packed with timely Florida news, sharp observations, southern humor, and that unmistakable native Florida pioneer perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.
