WGT #122 - Born & Raised Recap Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Howdy Grungers! Brennan, Tracer, and Gage went to Born & Raised and came back with more stories than sense. Electrical mishaps. Missed pizza plans. Late-night wanderings that turned into half-remembered mornings. Somewhere in episode they actually talked music. It’s a recap, but also a reminder of why music festivals matter.. because they leave you with stories that stick long after the lights go down. It may not be a clean recap, but then again, neither was the weekend.
