After a somewhat lengthy hiatus, we’re excited to officially be back with Season 2 of the Tim O’Connor Show. In between raising his kids and announcing contests, Tim managed to get some support from Adidas to bring you more of the #GoodPod.
For S2E3 of The Tim O’Connor Show, Tim met up with Fred Gall to reminisce over some brews (and maybe a little somethin’ else in Fred’s case). This episode set a record for having the highest density of crazy Fred Gall stories. Skate rumors and mysteries are addressed, like which clips Fred filmed while on acid or crack, and legendary tales from the most indestructible skateboarder are unearthed in their full, unadulterated glory. If anyone’s life story is worth documenting, it’s Fred’s.
If you have zero self-control, indulge yourself by checking out the time-stamped highlights below.
As always, if you have any comments, feedback or just wanna bitch, scroll down on Instagram to write to @thetimoconnor. Feedback is always encouraged and occasionally reprimanded.
