Ep41 - Julie Goodwin "I'll Give You $1000 To Lick My Beard"
Season 1, Ep. 41
•
Julie is back in the van and we've parked up at Ocean Beach at Umina. There's multiple dog interruptions, ladies learning to surf, we'll tell you about the greatest headphones going around, and we'll try to unpack "If you were alone on a trail, would you rather run into a bear or a man?"...
A lot of laughs in this one! Hope you enjoy it!
