Pat:

Welcome to the Hudson Valley Disc Golf Podcast. We've got a lot of talk about this week. Joining me in the discussion are Jason, Jaimen, Ryan and Kenji. We are also joined by a special guest. He's been a PDGA member since 2012 and moved up quickly through the divisions. By 2015, he had won tournaments in the AM-Three AM-Two and AM-One divisions. The Open division proved to be more of a challenge, but not for long. He had a few podium finishes in 2018 and his first MPO win came at the 2019 Electricity Classic powered by Innova. We told him he can't come on the podcast until he gets his rating over 990. So he went out and one April Showers 16, a couple of weeks ago. Welcome to the podcast, Brett.

Brett:

Uh, Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, right.

Pat:

All right, so we've got to start off with how did you learn about disc golf?

Brett:

I was actually just a total like insular, sat on the computer all the time, kind of kid coming out of High School. I was on a video game website, in the Off-Topic Section, and there was a guy who was talking about Disc Golf and I was already kind of playing a little bit of Ultimate at that time. And I was super into throwing a disc as much as I possibly could. I went on Disc Golf Course Review found J Park, went there for the first time with lids, made it to old hole nine, 13 now, before got poured on just the skies opened up and we played like three more holes and then we left, but it was like the most fun I ever had. And I've been playing since. That was 2011, so kind of 11 years playing.

Ryan:

Wow.

Pat:

So You got through 13 holes with a lid?

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah.

Pat:

Anybody here ever gone farther than that with the lid? Cause that seems to me pretty impressive to get up to 13 holes, especially at a J Park.

Kenji:

I don't think I've played One one hole with a lid.

Jasan:

Yeah.

Ryan:

So, what do you think it is about Ultimate that brings out all the introverts, because that was my story too, man.

Brett:

Yeah, that's a great question. I don't know if there really is anything specific, other than that, like it's a chance to like, be someone in college. That's what it was for me. was oddly part of my identity back then. It was just something that I could claim that was like something I loved, which was something I was proud of.

Ryan:

If you were playing zone; where you a Handler, where you a Wing were you Deep?

Brett:

Pretty much a Handler, like my entire time playing.

Ryan:

Yeah. And when did you officially transition from ultimate player to disc golfer?

Brett:

Um, when I graduated. It was kind of just a convenient thing to let go at that point. Club Ultimate it's like a bit more serious than just Intermural College Ultimate. So, you know, I love organized Ultimate.

Kenji:

What level did you guys play at? Mostly with just that intermural kind of pick-up games league kind of thing that happened here.

Brett:

We played other schools and we'd go to tournaments too. Like we play High Tide every year.

Kenji:

So, there's like a college team and there was actual like another college team beyond the, like the, not like at the collegiate official level, but like intramural level.

Brett:

Like we'd play tournaments at Vassar. Cause I went to new Paltz so we'd go to different colleges to play tournaments.

Ryan:

I just like it in about people transitioning. I guess for me, it was like, feel like my touch forehand was pretty good to go right off the bat. Um, backhand was a little awkward to learn how to throw properly. Like throwing Buzzz's just didn't make any sense. So, what do you think translated well from Ultimate? And what do you think you had to unlearn and relearn?

Brett:

Before I even knew organized Ultimate, I had a group of buddies who I started throwing a Frisbee with. Like, I was like one of the last days of High School. I don't know, he had a disc and we just went through in the field and like from then on for probably like a year and a half, I would spend like three hours plus just playing catch on the Middle School football field for hours on end, just throwing as far as I could. Before I even knew organized Ultimate, I had so much time throwing a disc, throwing a lid. So, going into organized Ultimate, like I was a good handler, right from the get-go. And because I kind of played Disc Golf and Ultimate at the same time, there was a lot of overlap in those. I was throwing both types of discs too. I was learning how to max a lid and a Disc Golf Disc, even drivers. It's like the first time I played Disc Golf, I could throw over 250 feet with my DX Beast. I can throw my putter well backhand and forehand. So like, I know sometimes I joke, like I've never really even gotten any better at Disc Golf cause I don't often feel that I

Kenji:

Uh, rock like 350.

Brett:

I never had to learn how to throw a Disc Golf Disc specifically, I feel like. I think I could forehand better back then to like drivers I could forehand. Now I can barely forehand drivers. I have to throw mids on everything.

Ryan:

How did your bag develop over time? What were some of the discs you started with and when did you finally find a disc that you absolutely loved and it became a staple in your bag? And then, I know obviously you're Innova Sponsored, did you have to take any molds out that you grew up throwing a lot when you made that switch?

Brett:

Yeah, Yeah, there were a couple. A Discraft Drone is still one of my favorite over stable mids. ESP Drones are awesome, Flex. And I also, I love, I forget the plastic type, but a Sinus, the Latitude disc as a throwing putter.

Ryan:

That's kind of over stable, right?

Brett:

Yeah, it's similar to a Rat in a way. Where it's not super over stable, but it's not necessarily going to be flippy. Yeah, love those disks. So, those are maybe two that I'm not throwing, but they're easy to replace. My first discs I got at Dick's. My first one was an Aviar and a Beast, bold blue DX. Those were my first two. And then I think a week later I went back and I got a Wolf, DX Wolf. Which is probably a pretty common story. Yeah. And I got to feel the whole, like how they get flippy and, and all that happens. I was definitely reading online forums back then, too. So, I kinda knew about the Marshall Street flight chart too. And that was like a big influence. I went through a Buzzz phase. I think I landed on a Roc before I had to throw Innova.

Ryan:

Roc or Roc 3?

Brett:

You know, it was a 3, cause that was like, what was hot? That was new.

Ryan:

Macbeth was throwing that.

Brett:

Yeah. Yep. I remember like the first Roc 3's coming out. But once I tried a KC Roc, I never went back to a 3 and now I have this weird thing where I don't like throwing any of the 3 molds.

Ryan:

Purist.

Brett:

Well, and I like domey discs too. Yeah, I just kind of was picking random stuff off the Marshall Street flight chart. I remember throwing, an Archon. That was like one of my first drivers, I love that. I threw an Avenger SS. Those were my next two discs, I think. After my first three.

Jasan:

Brett, what's your farthest recorded throw? throw

Brett:

Hmm. That's interesting. That's really interesting. Honestly, don't know.

Jasan:

What do you think your upper limit is? No wind flat.

Brett:

I can definitely get five, I'm pretty confident in saying that 450 is an easier number to say, but I think I can get five with a couple of tries.

Pat:

What are you throwing?

Brett:

Lately I've been really into Shrykes. I love bombing a Shryke. Yeah, if it's not a Shryke, it's a Destroyer. So, Shryke if I'm really trying to max it out, but Destroyer if I want to throw a distance driver, but really probably could be a T-Bird nine out of 10 times.

Ryan:

That's impressive. What's your go-to T-Bird mold? Are you trying to get something that's a little bit more beat over time?

Brett:

That's another thing where like, I really try not to be picky at all. I'm not going for any specific run or anything. If there is a run that I do like, I might be kind of trying to get more just to have as an option, but really like the newer stuff usually catches my eye before the old stuff anyway, as far as backups go, so I'm not too picky on that kind of thing.

Kenji:

Are you in the Halo craze?

Brett:

I throw a Destroyer, but mostly I get those just because, you know, they're cool.

Ryan:

Yeah. I don't know if it was the Gurthie Wraith or the Leopard 3 for Ohn, but like the multicolored ones. Oh my God.

Brett:

They're insane.

Ryan:

They're so pretty. And they just pop, you can find them

Brett:

Yeah.

Ryan:

Anywhere they just like glow when they're sitting in green grass.

Brett:

Those Ohn Leopard 3's specifically, that's gotta be like one of the prettiest discs Innova's done.

Ryan:

Totally.

Brett:

Yeah, it's mostly that Destroyer. I should probably try to get a Halo Polecat cause I've just started throwing a Polecat and I'm really into it. It's like one of those things, like kind of a joke,

Kenji:

As far as my distance driver.

Brett:

Polecats can go far if you give them some height.

Kenji:

Tell us a little bit about your videos. I love all the course play throughs you do of our local courses.

Brett:

Yeah, thanks. those are, a good excuse to try to make some YouTube content. I'm not really trying to do YouTube. I don't know about you guys, but like starting playing disc golf and trying to see what a course looks like before you'd ever been there. It was like such a nice perk. I pretty much always would YouTube the course, like before I would travel to it.

Kenji:

I, like you been hanging up all our local courses that wouldn't get the exposure.

Brett:

Yeah. So the goal is really to get a full play through of coverage on all the DisCap and surrounding courses, you know, as far as it goes, I guess, but it was kind of a good goal too, with so many new courses popping up. So yeah, those are good. Cause you know, I could use the footage for that plus Instagram stuff.

Kenji:

Check out Brett's YouTube channel. What's your YouTube username.

Brett:

It's Brett Disc Golf, B R E T T Discgolf. Yeah, the stuff I put on my YouTube is really intended for locals, honestly.

Kenji:

Yeah. I mean, look we're the Hudson Valley Disc Golf Podcast.

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah, you get it right. It's not trying to reach too far.

Kenji:

All though we get listeners all across the country, right? Don't you get a thing Pat?

Pat:

Yeah. Yeah, but you know, with VPNs, I don't trust anything anymore.

Brett:

that's true.

Ryan:

I'm just curious to know what the process was for you to get hooked up with Innova and what that relationship's like. I mean, obviously you're pumping out a couple of videos, making sure you're producing content for them and everything. You got your, your Hollywood close-up on the commercial. Which was fantastic.

Kenji:

Give our local courses great exposure. I love it.

Ryan:

Brett is famous on the Disc Golf Network for the, is it a PDGA ad? Or a DGN ad?

Brett:

An Innova ad.

Ryan:

Innova ad?

Brett:

I've been doing a Disc Golf Instagram for quite a while now. I couldn't even really say the years. Gotta be more than five at this point. Around five, I would say. and so being an Innova sponsored player is through that. Has nothing to do with my play. It's entirely my Instagram, not even the YouTube. It's pretty much just Instagram. Just making content on there. Trying to make the things, I want to see you scrolling through Instagram, kind of thing.

Ryan:

Yup. Yup. Did you model your content off of any other Instagram accounts you saw?

Brett:

There's kind of like a general vibe that spans across Instagram Disc Golf as a whole, I guess. I always kind of tried to style it to like old school skateboarding videos was I think of the insperation there.

Ryan:

Okay.

Brett:

That's, where my Innova affiliation comes from. I saw they had the Rock Star Team at one point and I messaged one of the guys that was on it and I was like,'Hey, that's pretty cool.' He was like, yeah, man, like she said, it was a fan of the stuff I was making. I was a fan of the stuff he was making. We went back and forth for a little bit, just as like friendly on the internet. And then Innova reached out, probably a couple months after that. And back then, like the Rockstar Team, you wouldn't really know it even existed at that point. It was kind of in a Beta stage. But then last year they started to take it a little bit more seriously. So, I kind of tried to do the same. That's when I started to get like Team Innova Discs and get to wear the shirts. And that was when I felt like, oh, this is really a thing. It's like a kind of a roundabout way to like a dream come true in a way to be represented like that. I mean, it's definitely an honor. It's really cool. It's very exciting. So that's pretty much just through Instagram. I don't even think you need to be an active PDGA member on the level of sponsorship that I have. So it's totally like a social media based thing.

Pat:

But that's cool. They probably did it because they know you can get them more exposure.

Brett:

Right. It all kind of

Pat:

I mean,

Brett:

in a Yeah, exactly. But then they get to share your stuff and it's probably a lot easier for them to have a pipeline of stuff they can trust that like they can just hit share and it goes out.

Ryan:

Yeah, pull from. So, when they were filming the commercial for DGN. The Innova commercial, did they put a call out to everybody and be like,"Hey, we need some content and this is what the ad is going to look like. Do what you will. How did you come up with it?

Brett:

So, it was very vague. They sent out a message to the entire team which was really only like or eight of us. It's not like it's super deep. But they were like, we want like a three to five second clip of you just saying what you love about Disc Golf. And so I was very excited to see that. They had said that it was going to be for the LVC DGN broadcast. So, I had done it before LVC what was that in February, March, early in year. Which explains the snow in the video. They send that message out. I don't like just talking to a camera, it's just really not my style, 90% of the time. Obviously Simon makes it easy to do that kind of thing. We've seen that style of clip so many times when it's logged. So it's like, all right, like let me try one of those. Me and my girlfriend, Jane went out to Prospect. It took, I've said 43 44, I think I've said 47. It's around that many times. I had eight discs and it was like the second or third shot of my seventh batch of trying. So. Yeah. I just had a stack of putters and that was like the only shot that looked like halfway competent. Nothing else was even close. There was one shot that tickled the chains, but everything was blown around and that's the one shot that looks super smooth. And I kinda like knew what I wanted to say, but it wasn't like I had anything solid locked in. So it kind of just like all worked out really well because what I happened to say at the time was coherent enough to like, make sense. Okay.

Kenji:

Woulda sucked if you made the shot and yeah, fumbled the words.

Brett:

I could totally butchered that. Yeah, exactly. And like half the time, I was saying something different than the time before. And so it was like just the fact that, that one that happened to all come together. It was like, I couldn't believe it. What do I love about Disc Golf? Same thing we all love, sound of the chains.

Jasan:

I want to see like the blooper reel better than the actual shot.

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah. So I sent that into them on our Slack Group, because we have a Slack Chat. We pretty much use. Sent that in and LVC came and went, there was nothing. And I was like, oh man. I'm like, well, one, I hope I didn't waste the time. It didn't take a ton of time. It was like 30 minutes, 35 minutes or so to, to film it.

Ryan:

Yeah, but for your girlfriend, Jane, it probably felt like 2 hours.

Brett:

Yeah, she was out there freezing. So, yeah, LVC came and went and I was like, ah, like, all right, I guess nothing's going to come with that. Oh, well, and then, uh, I was at work like two weeks later and it was, uh, whatever the next tournament was Waco, I think. And all of a sudden my phone blows up, like 4 different people's like Jeff Wychowski. Just a handful of people who are like, I just saw you on DGN. And, uh, yeah. And I was like, ah, I guess it did come to something. But I didn't know what it looked like for the longest time, because I couldn't scroll back in the live feed, um, VOD to like, was like, I don't even know what it looks like. I was pretty impressed with what they did because it was pretty vague as a concept. I mean, it reminded me of the classic PDGA ad of,'For me, it's my job'. Like the the Paul McBeth

Kenji:

But yeah, I liked that commercial.

Brett:

It's kind of in the same line as that, I guess. So, yeah, that was really cool. That was like the coolest thing that happened to me in Disc Golf

Ryan:

I mean, I'm jealous. That's pretty awesome.

Brett:

And I've seen it on Central Coast now. So it's not just like a DGN ad, I guess. It's been up there. It was on the Goat Hill Pretty cool.

Ryan:

That's awesome. And you don't get any royalties, right? They just, uh, they just send you a discs with teams. I mean,

Brett:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, It wasn't a high bar for me to sell my soul. It didn't cost much. Just so you can pretend to feel more important.

Ryan:

We'll send you like 10 Whales with a Team stamp. They're like, all right. Yep. take my first born too.

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah,

Ryan:

That's awesome. get to chat with like any of the Innova team? Like you said, they emailed out like seven or eight of you. Who's that, is that like the social media crew or is there like a broader community of sponsored players? What's that vibe like?

Brett:

Yeah, it's pretty much like just my group is who I interact with. I see certain names like Jeff Panisse as a name, like we'll pop in here and there, he's obviously a part of that team to a point. He's probably higher up on the chain.

Ryan:

Like the marketing lead for Inova. Right?

Brett:

He's probably as high up as it gets. So, I see his name, but it's not like there's like I'm in a chat group with Nate Sexton and everything like that.

Ryan:

Yeah.

Brett:

I could probably try to reach out to them and have like a better chance of actually getting a response, but I don't really try to that kind of thing. I'd feel weird.

Ryan:

Yeah, that makes sense. Unless you need something.

Brett:

Right. I've thought about trying to go to MVP and like doing specific content for them or filming, but I've never really pursued that too hard.

Ryan:

Um, so where do you get your technology background? Obviously you do a lot of video editing and I mean, all the content you guys have produced, like the Mine Kill. What was that a Skins match or something that you guys did last year? I

Brett:

Yeah, we did like a hundred dollar winner take all thing, and then we did the Mine Kill Championships. So, I played Ultimate down in New Paltz. I went to art school there, so I was doing like graphic design, that sort of thing back in the day. So pretty much I got like a four year degree that I don't use at all in my life right now, except for Instagram. You know, I've gotten a lot of that account, but it's pretty much just going into that at this point. So, you know, I've taken courses on video and photography and that kind of thing. So, it's nice to actually have an outlet for it. And I love doing editing work. Most of the time it would say. Yeah, So, it's honestly just like fun. It's a fun side hobby now to the hobby.

Pat:

I find it a pain in the ass to get started, but once I get started,

Brett:

Yeah, right, right. There've been projects that like will totally halt me. And I hang out to him for half the year. Jason will know about all that. And then there's other ones where it's like done before the end of the day, because I'm so excited by it.

Pat:

Hmm.

Brett:

Or other times I'll have an idea I'm really excited about for like an Instagram real and, excited to do the whole thing and then throw it out there and it's like, doesn't get any reaction. I go, that's how it should be. The effort you put in, doesn't have to equal the results, never does.

Jasan:

What is your favorite video that you've put out?

Brett:

There's one recently, it's Hole 2 at CPS and I threw a Roc and an Aviar and I overlapped them. So you can see both of the flights simultaneously. And then I played out both of the putts because they were close enough by that they fit in one frame. I was really excited by that one because I think it's kind of my idea of a perfect little Instagram clip. Cause there's more than one shot, which is cool. You can compare the shot in the moment, the disc from one another, and then it also included both putts at once. So, it's like, I don't know. It just seemed like a good amount of content in a simple little clip. And I was proud of the edit too.

Jasan:

I like the overlays. Cause overlays are cool. It's like a parallel universe happening at the same time.

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah, those I'm really excited about as far as like a way to compare disc flights that I don't really see done that often. Just literally overlapping two of the same framed shots and having a one-to-one comparison. I think it's almost more effective than a follow flight is.

Ryan:

Yeah, I love it. Cause like you'll throw like a TL on a T-Bird or something like that on like a similar line of like, oh, you can actually see like how the disc compared to each other. And it's actually pretty useful.

Brett:

Yeah. I like to think it's useful. I don't know how much, I'm sure there's a good amount of user error in there as far as like differences, but it's fun to pretend like, oh, I can totally see that that more stable disc is more stable than this one shot out of a million.

Ryan:

So, I gotta ask my stock, two questions that I haven't gotten to yet, if you're going on vacation and, you can only bring three discs.

Brett:

There it is.

Ryan:

What are you bagging?

Brett:

Yeah. I knew this question was coming, excited for it. I prepared,

Jasan:

He studied.

Brett:

I hear it all the time. And I'm like, this is so easy. This is such an easy question. It's a DX Aviar, a DX Roc, and a Star TeeBird.

Ryan:

So, I guess if you did have a preference then for T-Bird, it would be a Star. Interesting.

Brett:

It's a Star, yes.

Ryan:

All

Brett:

Yeah, It pretty much always star. I have champ T birds, but...

Ryan:

I will say, the Jen Allen color glow, TeeBird.

Brett:

Yeah,

Ryan:

They're wonderful. They're kind of like right in between Champ and Star and they glow.

Brett:

Right? Yeah. The one I had was definitely over stable, it filled that slot.

Kenji:

Got a Roc 3, one of the tours series one, in that same plastic. It's like champ color glow, but really feels like Star.

Ryan:

If it's a new one, it's Hannah Blumroos.

Brett:

That's who.

Kenji:

Yeah, Hannah Blumroos Roc 3.

Ryan:

Yup. That's my go-to. I'm still bagging like a beacon. Oh, the Beacon Glades tournament that you won Brett.

Brett:

That year.

Ryan:

Yeah, that year. Bagging, a Roc 3 from that year. Yep.

Brett:

That was 15, right?

Ryan:

Uh, no, that's what that, uh, oh no, maybe it was, I dunno. I think it was like 2017.

Brett:

Oh, way later. That could be too.

Ryan:

Yeah, that's like my favorite plastic from Innova.

Brett:

Yeah, I'm a sucker for just basic DX a lot of the time, especially with the slower stuff.

Ryan:

And lastly, what's your go-to course beverage?

Brett:

90% of the time it's water, but it could be a nice beer.

Ryan:

I feel like the last three people that have been on the show have all been like, oh, that's Red Bull. And just making me feel like an alcoholic.

Brett:

Coffee on the way there, water while there.

Ryan:

Nice.

Brett:

I mean, lately it's just been PDGA rounds for me. So

Ryan:

Okay.

Brett:

That's part of it, I guess.

Ryan:

So, hard whiskey then?

Brett:

Yeah. Right before.

Jasan:

Brett, if we do an NMKDGC again, what's your Bogey Beer?

Brett:

Oh, geez. I hate drinking beer quickly, but it's still not going to be like a Bud Light or something. I don't know.

Jasan:

Something Josh Wynn gives you?

Brett:

Yeah, whatever you bring.

Pat:

What's this?

Jasan:

We have a special rule. Like We do this NMKDGC Tournament if we don't put together a Mine Kill, we play another time together and we have these special rules.

Brett:

It's the Not Mine Kill Disc Golf Championships.

Jasan:

Yeah, I should've clarified that acronym. I don't remember what the exact rules, but somewhere along the lines, if you bogeyed, you had to chug a beer before everybody teed off on the net hole.

Brett:

Yeah, I think that was it.

Pat:

And you get to select your own beer?

Brett:

Feel like it was Founder's All Day last time.

Jasan:

I think Josh Wynn brought some kind of special beer, but.

Ryan:

Oh, I have one more question. To me, Brett, you're kind of like at the top of the mountain, you're Innova sponsored, your 990-rated.

Pat:

991

Ryan:

991. You got a commercial.

Kenji:

HA HA

Ryan:

What else is there to achieve? what's next for you? What are your goals? Is it more about content? Or is it more about like performance for you right now? What's next?

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I appreciate what you just said. Honestly, I agree. Like, I don't know. It's odd to kind of look at the now as far as like where I'm at with Disc Golf, because I really have done way more, like, I dunno, I'm proud. I'm proud to be in this spot and I'm thankful. Cause it is kinda like checking off some real goals in, a round about way for like the Innova thing. And to be like 991 is, surprising. I don't feel like a 991 player, but you know, it feels great.

Ryan:

And you're on the Hudson Valley Disc Golf Podcast finally.

Brett:

I finally made it here. So like this, now that this is done, I can just lay it all down. off into the sunset. I mean, as far as content, like I'm happy with what I'm doing. I'm not really trying to push it much farther. I guess the only real place I'm trying to progress in is like the actual play or rating or whatever. But even that, like, I'm not really doing anything other than trying to play more tournaments. It's definitely kind of a funny spot. Like I'm in a goal where I feel like I can really just kind of coast with it all which is cool. Like if I'm inspired by something and as far as content wise, like I can jump into that and that's fulfilling, but yeah, like truthfully, I'm just happy with my play and where the whole social media stuff is come to. So just happy to be where I'm at. I dunno.

Ryan:

Oh, yeah. I respect that. I'd killed to be 991 rated. And yet I just had a 913 round dropped, so

Brett:

Oh, yeah,

Ryan:

Not getting there anytime fast.

Brett:

I think I got pretty lucky with the last update cause some old ones dropped that we're definitely weighing it down. I've got a lot of stinkers coming in the ratings when they go in with a league nights. So, this is cool. Cause it's on a timer. I know it's going away like in a month or two. so I'm just going to enjoy it while it's there. I can say I was in the 990's at one point.

Ryan:

Yeah,

Brett:

Yeah, it's surreal. Honestly.

Pat:

I'm sorry, my dog's barking had to have you on mute. I want to ask a question. Um, All right. Do you have any thought that you could get 1000?

Brett:

That's kind of what the goal was coming into this year, but, uh, that's, it's probably possible, but I think it's gotta be like the right year of tournaments and being selective with it. Um, I didn't really expect 990 this time, so I don't, I'm kinda like, oh, maybe it'll jump up nine, but that's probably pretty unrealistic.

Pat:

What do they say a point is? there's some kind of correlation. I think I've asked this before.

Ryan:

Yeah. Usually 10 points is a stroke on 18 Holes. If that's what you're saying. It means you got to average, like probably a stroke and a half better every 18 holes you play. So, you could probably get those on the green. Do you practice putting a lot?

Brett:

Never, absolutely never.

Ryan:

Me either. either

Brett:

I've a convenient basket set up to just tap into it easily. I probably wouldn't, even if I did.

Ryan:

That reminds me. So, you live in Troy?

Brett:

Yeah.

Ryan:

What is your favorite bar in Troy and why is it The Ruck?

Brett:

The Ruck's great, but that's probably not my favorite. There's a bar here called Whiskey Pickle, which I really love.

Ryan:

Is that downtown?

Brett:

Yeah, it's probably wasn't here when you were around. It's relatively new, I think the last few years. But it's a good whiskey bar.

Ryan:

Nice.

Brett:

Yeah, Ruck's great too. Great chicken wings.

Ryan:

The best. Their blue cheese.

Brett:

It really is amazing.

Ryan:

I'm telling you I've been searching the world for any wings that even rival it and just coming up empty. I I'm not even joking. When I say I've tried wings from like 20 establishments in the greater Easton area and they all suck. Like every time I go to Vermont or head that way, I have to go to The Ruck just to get them.

Brett:

Yeah. Yeah. They're great. Troys got some good pizza too.

Ryan:

Yeah. DeFazio's got what, like an 8-something on One Bite.

Brett:

Yeah. There Dave poured and I gave him the old stamp of approval. So that place is impossible to get into it.

Ryan:

Oh, really?

Brett:

Yeah Yeah. I think it's probably still going.

Ryan:

Wow.

Brett:

or, I mean, maybe it's always been like that. I just didn't.

Ryan:

No, it wasn't. When I was working at his beverage, we used to get, take out from there all the time and it was no problem.

Brett:

Yeah. Now if you don't call before like 6:30, it's like, they don't even pick up. And if you want something for around like 6:30 you got to call it like noon. It's crazy.

Ryan:

Wow.

Brett:

Yeah.

Ryan:

That's crazy. What's the other joint. I mean, I love this kid, obviously. I feel Like Buffalo chicken.

Brett:

Love. Red front's good too.

Ryan:

You ever been to, I think it's called Gino's next to I Love, the sketchy pizza place.

Brett:

Yeah, no, no. And I always look at it and I don't even know how or why it exists right next to, I Love. It's so weird. It's like, I Love we'll be out the door around the corner and no one's in next door. How's the pizza though?

Ryan:

It's not, I Love's it's cheap.

Brett:

That's great. Yeah. I love it. Great. I love it there. I don't know if it's supposed to be as good as it is, but

Ryan:

I mean, I think it's pretty good, I like the Buffalo chicken slice for sure.

Brett:

Now I can't tell if it's a guilty pleasure. Everybody likes it.

Ryan:

Yeah. Yup. Troy.

Pat:

Since we had a couple of the players that thought we'd go over the a DisCap presents, April Showers 16 powered by Innova. Uh, if you guys will let me, I'll just go through some of the scores real quick, just to, cause I haven't done that in a while and I think, I dunno. Uh, alright. In the Rec Division we got Chris Hemingway. Three people tied for second: Ryan Carpenter, Todd Everleth and Mike Warner. In Intermediate Women. Julia Mae Marger won. Lisa Lunquist no relation Hendrick. No nothing. Okay. Kaylie Russell came in third.

Ryan:

I was muted.

Pat:

Oh, that's all good. I was watching him do the post game.

Ryan:

Yeah. He's not bad. A little shaky to start, but now it's kind of hit his swing. I mean, Steve Valiquette and, Gable on air, like the best duo. So, you can't beat them and they kind of carry Henrik, but he's doing pretty good job with these days.

Pat:

You think he's got a longterm chance or?

Ryan:

Oh, yeah. I mean, he's only doing like 20 or 30 games a year on MSG right now. So, he subs in for the important games and stuff, but, uh, yeah, he'll always be a fixture on

Pat:

I find it interesting though, that they call the guy who came after him The Heir Apparent. Isn't that what they call them?

Ryan:

Oh. They call them many things. They call them the Czar. I call them the Nyet Minder, but that hasn't caught on. He's Russian he's a goaltender.

Pat:

Yeah, the Heir Apparent though, I don't like. Because that implies the guy before you did anything.

Ryan:

You say, cause Hendrick doesn't have a Cup?

Pat:

1994, right? I'm pretty sure I watched more series than you did.

Ryan:

Yeah, I didn't watch, I've only watched the repeats. I wasn't a Rangers fan until I dunno, 2010, probably. Right before there run in like the early tens. So yeah, I dunno. The thing is though, like Henrik, some of his seasons, we're just outstanding. Like over and above all the other goaltenders in this class. consistently like almost eight or nine seasons in a row, but never had the team to pull them through all the way. Similar to what Igor is doing now. Kind of masking some underlying bad numbers at five on five and stuff. So same old Rangers, basically just a different goaltender, but I hear you. I hear you.

Pat:

I just like busting chops. Alright. Um, we're talking the DisCap presents April Showers 16 powered by Innova interrupted by Ryan's Hockey Minute. Intermediate Travis West came in third, Ethan Hadders in second, and Matt Sharp wins it at(-5).

Kenji:

I got to say, props to Ethan. Ethan is Danny White's grandson, and I think he's 11, 12. Yeah. He shot even that Hyzer.

Pat:

Oh, yeah, even. All right. AM Masters 50 was Richard Vontell in Third, Darren McKinney in Second and Earl Steenberg in First. AM Masters Women, 40 plus, Jeanne Johnson's in Second and Marsia Focht wins it and Am Masters 40 plus David Morton Fourth. Sean McMahon in Third, Tim DeFranco Second, Jason Gorsage in First. Advanced Women. Kathleen Bemis in 2nd. Carly Daly won it. I believe, Jaimen, that's one of your prospects, right?

Jaimen:

Yeah, no, Carly's a great player.

Pat:

Yeah. And she's a prospect, you know, like keep your eye on her. She's going to be good someday or not that she's good now, but she's going to be much better.

Jaimen:

like I said, it.

Pat:

Yup. ADI Advanced Division, Third Place Cole scape. Oh my goodness. Scam body. I know why I stopped doing this. Third place, Cole Sgambati, Matthew Culley in second, Matt Culley. Uh, he helped you with some work recently, right?

Kenji:

He was out helping with tees, on Thursday. Help me put Shafer Park tee pad in. He was at the monthly. I say his birthday after they have a birthday man.

Jasan:

Birthday. Yeah. He also helped me at ah Mine Kill on I Love My Park Day.

Pat:

Yeah. Cool.

Brett:

Racking up the karma.

Pat:

Actually he was tied here for first with Corey Cook and it looks like Corey must've taken of play off.

Kenji:

Yeah.

Brett:

That guy's a bagger.

Jasan:

Total bagger.

Pat:

Which one? Corey Cook or Matt Culley.

Jasan:

Well, both really, but definitely Corey.

Brett:

Yeah, he's

Jasan:

He's still a bagger.

Brett:

now.

Pat:

All right. Pro Masters 50, 3rd place, Danny Parton. Second place Hudson Valley, Disc Golf Podcast, guest, Greg Kurtz. And in first place, Danny White shot, a 11).

Kenji:

Perhaps he was out there helping me with tee pads next day.

Pat:

Nice. And, he would have won Pro Masters 40 too. Which was Brian Bickersmith in 3rd, Jeremy Bledsoe and Joe Jaskolka were tied for First. It looks like Joe took it into play off as well. And that leaves us at the Open Division. Third place we got Tucker Kozloski, 2nd Place Parker. There's gotta be two of them. Parker Sgambati. And in first place, our guests tonight, Brett

Jasan:

Yeah.

Pat:

Brett. Congratulations. First of all, on your victory.

Brett:

Thanks.

Pat:

It looks like you shot 55 in both rounds. Wow.

Brett:

Yup. Yup. Mash it up. Danny White though. He shot a 53 Round 2, 10 down. That's crazy.

Jasan:

Yeah.

Brett:

That's a Danny White move right there.

Pat:

Oh and he's in Pro Masters. Wow.

Brett:

Yeah. Minus 10.

Kenji:

Honestly, he shorted himself$5.

Brett:

He's shorted himself. Bagger. Yeah, 2 55's. I'm pretty proud of those. That's hard to match

Pat:

Yeah, impressive.

Brett:

with another good round. That's so rare.

Pat:

Jaimen you had a 55 as well.

Jaimen:

Yeah, but it followed a 64, so it didn't matter too much.

Pat:

But that's actually, to me all the more impressive that means you were able to, you know, get it back get it.

Jaimen:

That's Hyzer though. I don't think I've ever played a tournament there where there's not at least a five stroke difference between my two rounds. It's a course that you can't really jump back in once you're behind sometimes. I dunno, it's a pretty confusing course.

Ryan:

First time I played Hyzer, which is probably the last time I played Hyzer. Must have been I don't know, seven years ago, something like that. And I just remember that hole with the rocks with the distance markers on it.

Jaimen:

Yup. Hole 12

Ryan:

What are the actual distances on the rocks and what is the right play on that hole?

Jaimen:

They're pretty close to the right distance, but they're probably 10, 15 feet off.

Ryan:

And what's the farthest rock?

Jaimen:

500. Oh, that's what you meant. It's a 400 rock and a 500 rock.

Ryan:

400 or 500, ok.

Jaimen:

I thought were asking if like they're accurate.

Ryan:

Slightly downhill, right?

Jaimen:

Oh, it's definitely downhill.

Kenji:

Not significantly, but a good deal downhill.

Jasan:

Yeah.

Ryan:

Kenji's hit the 400 marker.

Kenji:

Yeah, I've gotten close to the full On a good drive, I can get to the 400.

Ryan:

Ok. The baskets kind of just tucked in the back of the field, right? Out in the woods somewhere.

Kenji:

It's across the OB Hyzer Creek. And then up a hill into a little pocket.

Ryan:

So, what are throwing off the Tee on that hole? Are you going to max distance or just mid-range?

Kenji:

Whatever goes the furthest in the wind conditions. Cause that's really what dictates that hole.

Jaimen:

I'm just trying to throw an easy T-Bird. I think people get too caught up with trying to go really far on that hole, at least in MPO. I tell Intermediate and Advanced players all the time. The biggest thing that can go wrong in your card on that hole is somebody in front of you throwing really far.

Kenji:

Right. Yeah. I always try to just get short of the Hyzer Creek and throw across on my third shot and put it close to the basket.

Jaimen:

Yeah. I see people a lot of times trying to go for a lot of distance and putting themselves in some really bad situations.

Ryan:

Yeah.

Jasan:

Yeah. If it's a PDGA event, I'm going safe off the tee with like a T-Bird or a Thunderbird. If it's a casual round, I'm going like beat in Destroyer and see how far I can go.

Kenji:

That's all you got to do and just not go into the woods. And it's not that hard at all.

Brett:

It's easy staying out of the woods though.

Kenji:

Yeah.

Jasan:

So Brett, I was watching the scores live cause I wasn't at the event. You and Lou had a pretty good battle and then it looked like something happened. Can you walk us through that?

Brett:

Yeah. So, So, first time I played Lou was a great guy. Really cool guy. He was really fun to play with. So, I shot eight, he shot seven. So, going into the second round, he was the hottest on my tail. So, we had lunch and then, right as we were going to our cards, I stopped at Jeff Wychowski. Just stopping in and checking on him. And everyone was talking about Lou not being there. No one could find Lou. I guess he ran to Stewart's on lunch, locked his keys in the car,while it was running and couldn't make it back to the second round. So, uh, yeah, I just. Unbelievable. There was a mad scramble trying to figure out like, is there any way to even get them back? Like, is he gonna try to break its window?

Ryan:

He didn't, did he?

Brett:

No.

Ryan:

goodness oh, thank

Kenji:

Someone probably could have gotten him, but he didn't want to leave his girl hanging with dealing with it. So

Brett:

Yeah,

Ryan:

That's a good man right there.

Brett:

Yeah, pretty respectable, but it's pretty wild. A couple minutes before the second round, once all the players started to realize what was going on.

Ryan:

That's crazy. So, you just played a threesome on the final card.

Brett:

No, we had someone bump up. I forget who it was.

Kenji:

No, Jeff found out and did the cards. It a little delayed was just the shuffle.

Brett:

So, we did have a 4-some thing like a usual card.

Ryan:

Wow poor guy.

Brett:

I've never heard that. kind of thing happening before.

Jasan:

No, I've like had a nightmare about it happening.

Brett:

and that's as far as it goes usually.

Ryan:

Yeah.

Jasan:

Lou's from New Jersey, correct? So that, had to been a long car ride home.

Brett:

Yeah. They probably got home earlier though. Maybe not.

Jasan:

That's

Kenji:

I had Eric Haydel's dog, Tucker locked in my truck while I was running at a convenience store on the way to Team Challenge match one time. Me, Wino and him stopped by Cumberland's and it was cold, so the car was running and then he stepped on the lock and lock the door. I had a break in.

Ryan:

So, I gotta ask. After you knew Lou wasn't going to be on your card. How confident were you that you were going to beat Dave, Parker and Tucker going into the next round?

Brett:

You know, it was bittersweet. It was a bummer, but it was nice to have some breathing room. Yeah. I felt like he pulled me out of a slow start in the first round. So, I was looking forward to playing with him cause he was such a good card, mate. Yeah. Yeah. I was only like a couple down on the front nine and then on hole eight, I laid up like a obstructed tester putt and he said something alongs of like how I ran my last two, like questionable tester, death, putts. But like that one I laid up and he was like really excited. Cause I like broke out of the cycle. This is so he said something like that. And I was like, oh my God, I broke out of the cycle. Like, Yeah. he's so right. And I don't feel like I have to try to make up strokes or whatever. And then hole nine came up and, if you know that hole, it's like a really steep, Hyzer really hard to get all the way left to the basket. Often, your best shot at a putt is like from 35 40. So, it was pretty much where I was. I think it was 50 feet and I ran it. And I made that, which was awesome and then, I just had a string of Birdies from then on. So, I like to think he helped me get out of my nerves or something. I don't know. He said something right. That just clicked with me. so I was sad to not play with him, honestly.

Jasan:

Yeah, the first time I ever played Open, it was Mighty Gaw, 2015, I think, and I was extremely nervous. I didn't know anybody on my card and he was on it and the first time I met him and he totally put me at ease just saying the right thing, just keeping a calm vibe.

Kenji:

Give a shout out to his podcast. He does, Hyzer Cast on YouTube.

Ryan:

Oh, that's right. Yeah. He's part of the Hyzer media crew, right with Dave Oster. Yeah. They came out and, Hyzer media filmed Once around the Mountain Tournament we had at South Mountain, the one disc round Dave was super nice. You shouldn't check out the bonus coverage of the MPO play off for second place that I lost. Not so fun.

Jasan:

Can't be as bad as gatekeeper.

Ryan:

That gatekeeper footage. When I talk to my work people about Disc Golf. I'm like, yeah. You know, pretty good some coverage. And I only send him to the back nine.

Brett:

Was that a tournament at AGA?

Ryan:

It was.

Brett:

I remember that. I remember watching that.

Ryan:

Oh yeah. You know, first time on coverage, playing with Fish and Dustin Keegan, it's intimidating. I strung together a Turkey in the back nine.

Brett:

I've watched a lot of great players blow up at AGA.

Ryan:

It's a little demoralizing, hole 1, I, bogeyed, hole 2, I birdied, which is like a pretty tough bird. You got to contend with the OB and the next two holes, I just went barely out of bounds on three and four. And it kinda just killed any momentum that I had. Cause they weren't bad shots, they were just like a little off. And of course Fish was on the card. So, we get to hole 3 and my disc is basically laying like right between two steaks. So like, I think we took out some string to measure it and I was like, okay, God, man. Yeah. I'm not getting away with anything on this card. And I was like, yeah, it's pretty questionable. I think I called myself like probably out, but. And Fish was like, oh, I have some string. Okay, great. Now definitively say it. But yeah, so that was, that was a bummer.

Brett:

I'm pretty sure there's video of Kyle Moriarty blowing up there. I'm pretty sure it was video of Brinster blowing up there. It's like you're in good company.

Ryan:

Yeah, it's a tough course. It can really chew you up. There's a lot of OB. that's where we're doing match play. So, if anybody's interested in getting potentially drafted.

Jaimen:

Last weekend in June, right?

Ryan:

Yeah, it's gonna be June 25th. Draft's going to be on the 12th. It's going to be streamed on Facebook. Might be at my house. Might be somewhere else, but get yourself on the draft sheet because I'm a Captain and I'm looking to pull from some talent and some names that people aren't gonna recognize. Have you played there before Brett? AGA

Brett:

No. Sorry that format sounds really cool by the way. No, I've never played there. I want to, It looks awesome.

Ryan:

It really is. It's fantastic.

Brett:

Where's that course Simon just played? Failer?

Ryan:

Failer Lake. So, Failer Lake is a Disc Golf Park Course designed by Steve Borough.

Brett:

Like five hours away from me or something?

Ryan:

It's only two and a half hours from me. And it's actually north of Harrisburg. So I bet you, if you like cut through Binghamton, it would probably only be like three hours. Man, did anybody else see that video that Simon posted about Failer Lake?

Kenji:

I watched some of it. I'm actually at the beginning, I fell asleep the other night, watching it.

Ryan:

If you didn't get the hole eight or whatever, the first like Top of the World hole is it's unbelievable. Oh no. It's five hours from you guys. Nevermind.

Jaimen:

Yeah. It's like as far as Buffalo is.

Ryan:

Yeah. Yeah, but you do go through Binghamton. I was right there.

Brett:

That's a fact. Yup.

Ryan:

But for the record, I did travel like three hours and 45 minutes to get to Burbine. So you guys owe me a trip to Pennsylvania. But that course looks unbelievable.

Brett:

Yeah, it looks amazing. And his video was great too, because it showed the before and after of a lot of the, I know the fairways.

Ryan:

Yeah. They grass seeded 25 acres of like, I mean, it was woods. It was like dirty mucky woods

Kenji:

I like how they did the before and after in the video, that was kind of cool, but what the ferry look like and what they changed it to.

Ryan:

Too bad it's Disc Golf Park baskets.

Brett:

Oh,

Ryan:

Indeed. Yeah. Looking forward to going out there. That's close enough that I can make it there for a day Tournament, lose a couple of disks in the lake. Go home, sad and angry. Can't wait.

Pat:

Jaimen, what's going on with Whipple City?

Jaimen:

not too much. I've got the, finalized layout for it and all that kind of stuff that I need to drop pretty soon. players pack items are coming in. We got some awesome stuff. We recently got in some helicopter pad pins that we're really excited about. those are going to be going in the players pack and we've got some fundraising discs coming up soon. So I believe it's going to be the cow stamp from last year. That's kind of going to be the tournament logo year to year to year. but it's going to be mini stamps, of it

Brett:

Love a mini stamp, good call. Can I just also say how cool it is that MPO is getting those, Trump bags, whatever you call them.

Jaimen:

The trainers.

Brett:

Yeah.

Jaimen:

Very exciting that Upper Parks was able to help us out with those. I think that's one of the coolest player pack items. I've. seen.

Brett:

Yeah.

Jaimen:

It's something that I think that everybody can immediately use and everybody could even use more of.

Brett:

No. Oh Yeah, and MPO gets a players back. How cool.

Jaimen:

Yep. Very excited about that.

Brett:

Yeah, that's awesome.

Pat:

All right. let's try to squeeze it a round real quick. So why don't you pick a hole between one and nine?

Brett:

Let's say nine.

Pat:

Have you seen the Batman? Whatcha think

Brett:

I Really liked it.

Pat:

Really?

Brett:

the wrong answer?

Pat:

No. I'm just asking you, why did I say that? I see really defensively. No, no, no. I was just like really?

Brett:

Yeah, really?

Pat:

Cool.

Brett:

Why don't you believe me?

Pat:

I do. I do. I do.

Ryan:

I gotta be honest. I already forget the plot. I saw it. I don't remember a thing about it.

Brett:

It was a Batman plot.

Kenji:

I haven't seen yet has it come out on streaming service. yet?

Pat:

It's on HBO max.

Brett:

Yeah.

Kenji:

Okay. I'll have to check it out this weekend.

Pat:

Just because I haven't heard much about it, you know what I mean?

Brett:

I wanted to see it and then I couldn't believe it was on HBO already. HBO max. So I watched it on there. Yeah. I really liked it.

Ryan:

love Paul Danoe, man.

Brett:

it was really good. I felt like it was a modern version of like older Batman's. I don't know. The city was all gritty again. And that was cool. It was, what's the art style? I don't know. It was grungy. It was noir. I thought Rob Pattinson was pretty good too.

Pat:

I do think he needed to cut his hair.

Brett:

Oh.

Pat:

I've never seen in any of the comics long hair, maybe at one point he had a little long in the back, but not in the front.

Brett:

No Bat-Mullet

Pat:

cause he's a millionaire, so he gotta keep his hair clean. And why would you want all that shit in a mask All dirty and nasty half the movie, when he wasn't in the suit, he looked like he just came out of a chimney. I don't I didn't not like it. I didn't like his suit. If there was one thing I didn't like, it showed too much of his jaw. and it the Cape looked like it was a Snap-on thing.

Jasan:

Like a halloween costume.

Pat:

The collar And it seemed too bulky they tried to make it look real, but they didn't do a good job of

Ryan:

I thought it was too much. chin.

Pat:

The whole jaw line. Yeah. Batman always has The, face a little more covered than that, know?

Ryan:

I think they just wanted you to know that it was Robert Pattinson they probably paid a lot of money to cast him,

Pat:

Well, then why did they put black paint on his eyes when he had the mask off and dirt and shit. I mean, they're kind of sending mixed signals here, Ryan. I don't know, I thought the acting was good. All that. I just visually it kind of took me out of it for a while. So, I might have to watch it again give a real determination not that anybody gives a fuck. Um,

Jasan:

I liked the Batman, but I'm a huge Christopher Nolan fan. So the dark night was kind of hard to top for me.

Pat:

And they were kind of in the same genre, they were both kind of the dirty kinds. So it's a good comparison. I would say the first one of those Batman Begins would be the best, but this new one might be second or third. Cause I feel like that trilogy went downhill as it went on

Jasan:

Hmm. I liked all the Nolan ones. I actually haven't found a film by Christopher Nolan that I haven't liked And he's going to be coming out with a Oppenheimer film.

Ryan:

Oh, yeah, that's going to be awesome.

Jasan:

Yeah. Looking forward to that

Ryan:

Is that just a straight up biopic about Manhattan project?

Jasan:

I'm not sure from what I gather, it seems like it's focused on the Manhattan project, but like his perspective of it. But you never know with Christopher Nolan, all the lead up to Tenant and nobody had any idea when that one was about.

Ryan:

Yeah, that's true. Yep. Talking noir there's a show on HBO called Tokyo Vice it's, like a Neo Noir I dunno, crime thriller, focused on an investigative journalist, in Japan, focusing on the Yakuza it's pretty good. I don't even know how to describe it. it's got that like grungy detective, thing, it's so interesting. Cause it's criminals, but they have like a code it's strange to have like criminals with moral codes. So it's a really interesting, show it's a series on HBO. I highly suggest it. It's very good. Plot gets a little twisted in the middle, but, it's worth a watch if you like that. Like Sin city style of noir

Pat:

Interesting.

Ryan:

you can cut that useless information. Excuse me. Interesting Brett is like when you hear that the edited podcast.

Brett:

I hope I sound coherent.

Ryan:

I find Pat makes everybody sound much more intelligent with the exception of Jaimen and Jason.

Jasan:

That's Impossible.

Pat:

Yeah. A lot of the times it's really just editing out repetition. And if there's two or something, I try to pick the better one. It's not that, you know what I mean? Like.

Brett:

Not your master.

Pat:

Oh, I don't know about that, but,

Ryan:

I concur.

Pat:

Shit.

Jaimen:

Absolutely. I'll listen to the podcast and then say it the way that pat made me say it.

Pat:

That's great.

Jaimen:

Very quickly, this Saturday, there is a tournament up at thousand acres. The name of it escapes me right now.

New Speaker:

The 1000 Acres Spring Kick-Off.

Jaimen:

But, Mark Dami has been doing an awesome job up there, getting that course ready to go. it's a beautiful track of property. so I'm excited to go up there and, compete in that and, see what that course has to offer for Tournaments

Kenji:

Do they got the tee pads installed yet?

Jaimen:

Um no, I'm not sure exactly what their long-term plan is. They've got, rubber on the red layout and the white layout is going to be, natural tee pads, but it's a golf course.

Kenji:

Right, right. Yeah. I know for the monthly,

Brett:

The white layouts the longer? Yeah.

Jasan:

Right now we're less than two weeks away from Mine Kill AM side by the time you listen to this, who knows it could be a week from tomorrow, or it could be tomorrow. But there's been a lot of movement on both wait-lists. I think the last week I've had double digit movement. so we're down to three people on the wait list for AM side and four spots open for pro. So, if you're interested in playing either weekends, sign up good chance to be able to get in. Lot of exciting, stuff's going to be unveiled soon. I'm just working out some final details. I have the player's guide, 95% done. I'm just waiting on a couple of things that are pretty crucial for venues and stuff, but it's gonna be a good time, hope to see, everybody there and, um, get your picks in.

Ryan:

Ooh.

Brett:

Yeah, I think I've dropped out of the picks almost entirely, now. There's no going back.

Ryan:

No, no, it's not true because you can get a thousand points like in a week.

Brett:

It's not too late.

Ryan:

Not too late.

Brett:

It Feels too late.

Jasan:

A lot of golf left.

Jaimen:

Yeah. I've had like mini panic attacks last two Fridays thinking ah shit I missed my picks, but. I knew that they weren't there, but like then the Masters Cup comes up. I'm like, how can that not be a pick?
