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.

Peat - You Bred Raptors?
Zac - Fable Cry

Hey there, Promise-Ring wearers. This week, we delve into the dark world of lust, envy and betrayal on California Dreams. Mark, whom everyone knows is the heartthrob of this show, puts his mitts all over Jake’s girl, Lorena, and the entire Dreams enterprise is threatened. The gang immediately thinks it’s an amazing idea to tell Jake, whom everyone knows is emotionally mature and level-headed, and he quits the band!
Meanwhile, Tiffany is still bottling up her rage, Sly kisses Sam for reasons, Jake hates his mother, and we get the worst possible guitar miming this show has had to offer (so far). Why can’t we just hang out and be in a band with Tony exclusively? Do teenagers play Monopoly and watch Nick at Nite? Is this high school cafeteria a drug front where gangs beat up children regularly? Is this episode referencing The Shining? We answer all these burning questions. See you at Sharkey’s!!
Next Episode: California Dreams - 3x8 “The Princess and the Yeti”
