About Surf Dudes with Attitude

A podcast TEN YEARS in the making... 'Surf Dudes with Attitude' is the #1 podcast about the 90's teen sitcom "California Dreams". Okay, so, we are also the only podcast of its kind but let's not quibble! The show centered around a high school band as they navigate life, friendship and songwriting. Their choices are questionable, their fashion is exquisite, and their music is... well... we will let you be the judges of that. It's dated, sometimes cringey but also surprisingly wholesome? Peat Rains and Zac Fable, two career musicians will meticulously and tirelessly break down all 78 episodes of this show. Peat was inspired at a young age to become a musician, partly because of California Dreams! Zac, well, he had never heard of it before being bullied onto the podcast. We'll be analyzing all of their musical business decisions from an industry standpoint. We'll be covering the songs and dissecting them based on music theory and our objectionable taste. Special guests incoming. Patreon/Discord also set up for bonus content including reviews of other band-centric TV and film, commentaries and Q&As.Neither of us surf and we're actually quite agreeable people. Peat can't sing and Zac was homeschooled so he has no foundational understanding of how a high school operates. We're completely qualified here.Check out our bands/credentials!Peat - You Bred Raptors?Zac - Fable CryProduction - George HowellWaning Moon Media Hosted on Acast.

episode SDWA S03E17 - Tiffani’s Gold artwork

SDWA S03E17 - Tiffani’s Gold

Hey there, Olympians! On this very special episode (yes, another one), we find Tiffani turning to steroids to help give her an edge for the National Volleyball Tryouts. Not sure why we are capitalizing that but it seems like a big deal! Also, it took three whole seasons to figure out that in the Latin alphabet, Tiffani ends with an I. Hmm… The rest of the gang doesn’t help as they keep pressuring TIff to make the cut, along with a really problematic head coach. There’s a silly subplot of the gang having a stud contest to help cut the tension of everyone’s favorite bassist JUICING, but it’s barely worth mentioning outside of Mark being a big DORK. Will all Tiff’s unbridled rage, nursed from mommy abandonment issues and scorn from a past relationship with the local heartbreaker Jake, finally boil over at the surface and explode? The mercury has been cooking for a long time and we finally see the tea kettle scream! James and Peat are welcomed by our lovely friends, Imran and Sofia, once again from the Dance of Joy Podcast. We promised them that if they showed us theirs, we would show them ours. They help us make sense of all this unchecked aggression in the seemingly quaint lower California oceanside town.. Do we get any music??? Tune in to find out.  Peat also helps celebrate the Season 3 finale with a cake, a Surf Dudes tradition. We made it! We did it! THREE SEASONS DONE! Thank you to everyone that has been listening and sending us feedback. We have two more seasons left and lots of fun stuff planned for the betweeny season break! Keep checking back as we’ll be uploading more content and behind the scenes stuff here at SDWA HQ. Until Season 4… See you at Sharkeys!!

SDWA Side Project - Gilmore Girls (Season 4 Episode 11 The Clamor and the Clangor)

Do you hear those church bells? This isn’t a rhetorical question. It’s unfortunately a major plot device in this week's episode of SIDE PROJECT. We whisk ourselves away on our Cessna plane to Connecticut to catch up with Rory and Lorelei on Gilmore Girls. Rory’s best friend, Lane, has a band that gets an offer to play CBGB’s in New York City. The rest of the episode has a disturbing amount of subplots that we do our best to navigate. We bring back our resident Gilmore Gal Sofia Javed to help us make sense of this cultural phenomenon from the late aughts.  Why did Adam Brody leave the band? Why is Sebastian Bach allowed anywhere near children? Did they find a real green room to shoot in? And does Luke ever take off his ball cap during lovemaking? We answer all of these iron hot questions from Stars Hollow this week on Surf Dudes with Attitude. We’ll be back next week with the third season finale of California Dreams! See you at Sharkeys!!

episode SDWA S03E16 - The Treasure of PCH artwork

SDWA S03E16 - The Treasure of PCH

Ahoy there, fellow urban explorers! This is the second episode of California Dreams this season that hinted that our gang loves scavenger hunts more than being in a band. LAME!  But, here we are, to solve all the riddles on Surf Dudes with Attitude. After a well paying (and increasingly rare) gig on the pier, the gang is manipulated into a wild goose chase by Jake and Lorena. The incredibly toxic couple is trying to prove that money will ruin friendships and lead to distrust! The teenage harbingers marionette the rest of the gang to several locations with phony clues and promises of a big booty. And the big wager for their unnecessary and cruel bet? A kiss… between a well established couple. Ugh. James and Peat try to stay positive in the new song we do get to hear. They debate on whether Tiff is playing out of a guitar or bass amp and Peat makes a wild confession that he doesn’t dictate his life according to his favorite pizza restaurant. As we wind down the season, we just want to thank everyone that is still listening and being on this fun ride of ours! Next week, we have a kick-ass SIDE PROJECT episode where we are zipping off to Connecticut to see how the other half lives with Gilmore Girls! Rory’s best friend, Lane, has a band (with Sebastian Bach for some reason) and they get a chance to play at CBGB’s. So, obviously… we got thoughts. See you at Luke’s Diner!!

SDWA S03E15 - Junior Achievements

Aloha, pharmaceutical friends. We have another entrepreneurial episode of California Dreams to talk about here at Surf Dudes with Attitude. We have a confusing plot as the entire gang is really excited (yet again) to tackle a school project. This time, it’s about starting their own business. They somehow land on exploiting Sam’s great grandmother’s legacy AND her entire Asian heritage in one fell swoop. That’s convenient! They steal an old recipe for a cold remedy to cash in on the pervasive flu outbreak happening at PCH. Things get casually racist and we are in store for a pseudo dream sequence, Sly dressed as a germ and ZERO band practice. James and Peat marvel at the gang's ambition to take on the Medical Industrial Complex while also musing on the legality of their teacher’s seed money for these shoddy businesses. Drink plenty of fluids for this one and call us in the morning. See you at Sharkey’s!!

SDWA - Interview with Michael Cade (CORRECTED)

The mothership has landed. The O.G. of California Dreams, Michael Cade, AKA Sylvestor Winkle, sat down with the crew of Surf Dudes to discuss his tenure as the manager of everyone’s favorite high school band.. Like his character, Michael doesn’t hold back. But, we were both relieved and humbled that he could roll with the punches and didn’t hate us! Unlike his character, he's an incredibly gracious and warm person. We had a great time talking about California Dreams, his storied career and what he’s up to now. He helps answer all of our burning questions from the last few years of doing this podcast: Was Sharkey’s attached to the school? Is Sly an orphan? Where did his sociopathy come from? And would future Sly be indicted in a financial ponzi scheme (definitely yes).  Though we can’t defend everything his character has said over the years, it could not have come from a nicer person. Thanks for being on the show, Michael! And we look forward to another sit down where we hyper focus on an episode in a zesty roundtable discussion. Possibly with the rest of the cassssstttt??? Stay tuned… See you at Sharkeys!! Next Episode: California Dreams - 3x15 “Junior Achievements” Follow along on YouTube and subscribe wherever podcasts are streamed. Links in our bio!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
