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

We did it. We pulled it off. After narrowly escaping a real life Yeti last week, we have had to call in reinforcements to tackle this week’s episode. Our former co-host and amazing bezzie, Z (Zac Fable) pops back in to discuss this episode of California Dreams. And we are all LIVE in the same room!! The gang takes a television class at school and wouldn’t you know it, Tony and Sly get some of that sick syndication money when their show is noticed by a weirdly present TV executive in the classroom. How will they maintain work/school/life/band balance? Can their friendship survive being local public access celebrities?
This is the first time all three Surf Dude hosts have sat in a room together. It’s something to marvel at! The power of this show, am I right? Peat has some questions about the child protection measures for these television contracts. James wants to know why Mark is playing a stoner in a skit. And Zac is wondering who the hell this Mark person even is! Lots to delve and dive into this week, folks. See you at Sharkey’s!!
Next Episode: California Dreams - 3x10 “Daddy’s Girl”
