Publisher's summary

Mike Baron delivers a riotous, heartfelt, and ultimately uplifting story in Florida Man, brought to life by the inimitable R.C. Bray.

Gary Duba’s having a bad day. There’s a snake in his toilet, a rabid raccoon in the yard, and his girl Krystal’s in jail for getting naked at a Waffle House and licking the manager.

Gary’s a redneck living in a trailer by the swamp. But he’s got dreams, big dreams. Every time he tries to get ahead, fate deals him a low blow. But then he gets lucky...

With his best friend, Floyd, Gary sets out to sell his prized Barry Bonds rookie card to raise the $500 needed for bail. But things always find a way of getting out of hand.

will make you laugh out loud

Though over the top ridiculous never the less funny. a great in-between book to pass the time and chill out. not a show stopper but a side event keeps things light.

Duba for President!

OK Podium, let's get Hogzillal on Mr. Bray's production schedule. Gary Duba is the hero 2020 needs & deserves. Make it happen, Kyle.

Florida, what a place!

On a whim I listened to the sample. It was funny, unexpected and entertaining. Give yourself five minutes and try the sample.
The narrator was a pro! Maybe the next book should be New Jersey Man.

Funniest book in years.

The author drops hints that you don't think about all along the way that makes you go hahaha aaaaahhhh.

Well written story though the ending feels a bit rushed, great narration. Well worth a listen.

What in the world that I just listened to?

Ok folks, I really don't know how to review this one! The events in this book go through like a fever dream... bouncing from highs to lows, going from one hard to believe situation to the next. But that's the rub, I'm pretty sure that all the events in this book actually happened, just two different people and not one ever present Florida man. that doesn't make the events any less believable, yet like a train wreck you can't look away.

Regardless as to how he got the headlines, he wove them masterly into a narrative. RC Bray did a masterful job as always... and now I'm going to listen to it again, Because so much happens in this book, it's hard to keep track of it all and you definitely get your money's worth. Get it, and enjoy the most redneck shenanigans you have ever heard in your life.

Everybody should like this Florida man

It’s very entertaining book. I always hear good and bad things about Florida man. RC Bray does a fantastic job. If you listen to RC Bray before you’ll understand “ hold my beer”. For those of you that have not heard RC Bray there’s a list of other books that he reads that are great books

Uplifting in a Time of Uncertainty

I read a lot of reviews claiming that the listener couldn't stop laughing. I, however, didn't find it incredibly hilarious. What I found instead is a story of a modern-day stoic. Whether stumbling into unforseen fortunes or sitting in jail for obliviously commiting a federal crime, Gary takes it all with a grain of salt. While there doesn't seem to be any major plot, the overall theme is one that is uplifting and teaches the listener some useful skills for handling crisis. The main character is loveable and I was sad to see it end.
