Ep. 8: Fire, Fairways & Farewells — The All-Star Episode You Didn't Know You Needed

JD and Brett bring the heat (or should we say fire?) with an all-star lineup featuring Pete Schuman, Greens Committee Chair and secret Aquaman; John Bevin, the man turning cart-cleaning into a life lesson; and everyone's favorite server, Audrey Butler, who's trading Contra Costa for coral reefs at the University of Hawaii. Along the way: a bear raids Brett's Bronco in Tahoe, Mrs. McCormick asks a winemaker about his hair, and Aaron Strout rolls in for a quick bocce update. The course is playing the best it has in 30 years. Don't miss this one. It's fire. (Not on fire. Fire.)

Ep. 7: The Contra Costa Kid: Carl Campos on Baseball, Basketball and Finding His Game

In this week's episode, JD and Brett sit down with Carl Campos — architect, club legend, and self-described late bloomer. During the conversation, Carl shares his journey from segregated El Paso to Cal Poly to Contra Costa. From watching future NBA stars integrate Texas basketball to discovering golf after years in the gym, Carl's stories are as big as his handshake.
