    Sat Day Comin'! The Boys of Old Florida Survive No Nut November + Wild Florida Man News

    Send us a text Today on the Palm & Pine Podcast, the boys of old Florida are knee-deep in No Nut November — a whole month of surviving without a single boiled peanut. In true Florida fashion, they drop their brand-new hit single “Sat Day Coming,”a musical tribute to a timeless Southern truth: when someone says they’ll do it “Saturday,” they sure don’t mean this Saturday. Then it’s on to the Florida Man news desk, where things get wilder than a swamp buck in rut season. First up: an old-school Florida Man dabbling in an illegal DIY castration surgery ring right out of his own house — perfectly on theme for No Nut November. Next: the unbelievable follow-up to the now-famous Walt Disney World mermaid incident, where a restaurant is robbed by an underwater swimming bandit… or was it an actual mermaid? The boys dive deep with classic old-Florida humor and their signature backwoods analysis. Join the Palm & Pine crew for cracks, laughs, music, and Florida mayhem — the perfect escape from the bad news of the world and the boiled peanuts you’re not allowed to eat this month.
