Lucas Oberholtzer Hess and Jesse Longenecker log on and Fish hollers about uncontrollables. We determine (later) that a 2019 Impreza has 1310 L of volume with the seats down, while a 2008 Prius has a mere 1210 L of comparable volume. Jesse walks through his approach to Winthrop in the process to his 2025 College Disc Golf championship, and how he might apply that to USDGC. Both Lucas and Jesse talk about the importance of family in their journey, Fish riffs on the many ways that pre-planning you...

Chandler Fry, who's not retired, but is sort of retired, recently became Michigan's newest most dangerous local pro.

Ali Smith joins the show to discuss the current limitations of information being gathered in disc golf, and being presented as authoritative statistics. We talk about descriptive and prescriptive ways that player and course statistics could be used to improve broadcasts, player preparation, and course design. Ali also drafts three players for a kabatti team, Mary makes a surprise guest appearance, and we're sitting in a very echoey space with an unstable table. The Fish Golf Brah-dcast is a seri...

Ella Hansen, a fount of guarded pessimism about the Mariners, joins the show to preview the 2025 MLB season.

Gregg Hosfeld, the "Miniac" and "Frivolist", 1987 PDGA World Champion, and one of the foremost course designers in Florida, joins the Brah-dcast for a typically (for us) wide-ranging discussion of semantics of language, Hos's design philosophies, his putting style, and some of the early iterations of the "Gran Canyon" course in Brooksville, FL, now rebranded as "Olympus" and used for the DGPT season opener in 2024 and 2025.

Thomas Gilbert, he of long limbs and long throws, surprisingly mostly agrees with Fish, he of long limbs and short throws, about the Ivy Hill Golf Course used at the 2024 PDGA Pro World Championships.
