The Bayside BOYZ
Welcome to our experiment in mediocrity -- honestly, we have no idea what we're doing but we're having fun while doing it. Join us as we discuss bay area life, hobbies, and random facts on a (hopefully) weekly basis. Hit us up to request any topic that interests you and we might just not cover it. You can find us on Instagram @thebaysideboyz and listen to every episode on our website thebaysideboyz.buzzsprout.com
