from Palm and Pine Podcast · host Steve Barlow, Doug Barlow

Send us Fan MailThink 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.🌴 Real Florida Culture📰 Wild Florida Man News🥒 Pickleball Chaos🎶 Stephen Foster & Old Florida Roots🤠 Southern Etiquette RulesIf you love authentic Florida stories, Southern tradition, wild headlines, and unapologetic Florida Man energy — this episode is for you.Subscribe, share it with someone who thinks Florida is just beaches, and remember… don’t wear out your welcome.
