00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880
Welcome to another episode of 
the Disc golf pants Man. 

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,000
I am Bobby, Cool Daddy, Slick 
Breeze and this is another Dig 

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Gam interview. 
This time I reached out to 

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,040
Broderick. 
He was one of the guys that as I

5
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:12,160
got back in the disc golf social
media, I discovered on YouTube 

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,560
and I watched some of his videos
and I really, really enjoyed his

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,920
chill vibe. 
That kind of that whole vibe of 

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,440
just let's just meet up with 
some friends, let's go play some

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,680
disc golf and have a good time. 
Now we'll let you know that 

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,960
about toward the end, something 
happened on his side with the 

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,160
audio. 
So you might hear a bit of a 

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,560
difference in the audio quality,
but it should still be good to 

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,120
go. 
All right, let's learn a little 

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:41,920
bit more about Broderick. 
So just real quick, just to kind

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800
of start off the whole give me 
the elevate elevator pitch of 

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,800
like when you hit record and 
you've got a disc golf ID or 

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,920
disc golf video and you hit 
record, what is your ultimate 

18
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:58,160
goal? 
So I'll start off by saying 

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800
that's something I think I'm 
three over. 

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,120
I think I'm over three years in 
and I still feel like I don't 

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,560
totally know. 
But I'd have to say if it's 

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,840
anything is when you click on my
video, I just want it to feel 

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,680
like you're playing disc golf 
with your friends. 

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,560
That's kind of been my goal. 
Like from day one when I first 

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,640
started my channel, I started it
with one of my best friends. 

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,040
I'm actually in his house right 
now doing this. 

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,520
But like we kind of started the 
channel together in a way. 

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:35,640
And from day one, like, like I 
took it serious, but I always 

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,480
wanted the attitude, attitude to
just be, hey, we're hanging out 

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,760
playing disc golf and whatever. 
I'm saying that to the camera is

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,080
pretty much the same 
conversations I'd be having just

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,680
with my friends while out on the
disc golf course. 

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,520
But now I'm recording it, you 
know, and, and I think obviously

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,200
like I'll go into different 
avenues everyone. 

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640
So, you know, I'll do this for a
couple months, I'll do this, do 

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,160
this. 
But I think like the heart and 

37
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,199
soul and like what my core 
audience watches me for is 

38
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,840
literally just to like hang out 
and play disc golf. 

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,440
And I'm lucky that I live in a 
van and I travel you around and 

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,720
I can kind of be, I kind of try 
and be wherever it's 75° and 

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960
sunny. 
So maybe when, when people 

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,160
aren't playing disc golf, I 
still AM and they get to watch 

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,000
me and be like, oh, I'm sitting 
inside all all week. 

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,200
I can't play, but I still get to
watch you play. 

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
So I guess like I just want to 
hang out with you and play this 

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,880
golf that I think that's kind of
like my elevator pitch, even 

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,560
though that might not like to 
some people, I think they'll 

48
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,960
they're like yes, but then some 
people are like that is the 

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,760
worst business decision you've 
ever made, but alright, cool, 

50
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,880
like. 
I love that you say you travel 

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,280
to places that are 75° because I
was out or before this, I was 

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,400
out doing some filming and it's,
I'm in Oklahoma and it started 

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,040
heating up and I was like, God, 
This is why I, I wish I lived in

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,040
a place that was 70s all year 
round because it was climbing 

55
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,520
toward 80s very fast. 
And that'd get pretty hot when 

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,120
you're out in the middle of a 
field with the sun beating down 

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,520
on you. 
So but so So what got is kind of

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,520
your vibe for me, the ones that 
I've watched are kind of like 

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,480
even your music is kind of like,
I don't know if I want to call 

60
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,520
it low 5, but just kind of chill
type music. 

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,480
Kind of a like you said, just 
hanging out was are there some 

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,600
creators that you follow that 
kind of inspired that or you 

63
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,600
just like, I'm just going to be 
me and this is what I'm going 

64
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,720
to. 
I'm just going to grab a camera 

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:42,160
and film it. 
I so I feel like, I think with 

66
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,640
my videos, I've always wanted 
them to just be like, I want to 

67
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,520
make videos that I would watch. 
I think like every, I think 

68
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
every person who creates 
probably has some creators I'd 

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,480
say like off the top of my head,
like Casey Neistat and Beau 

70
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Miles. 
I don't know if you know, like 

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,760
you probably know who Casey 
Neistat is. 

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Beau Miles maybe is like a 
little more niche, but I don't 

73
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,000
know. 
There's a few creators, but I'm 

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,080
also the type who like I like 
consuming, but I also like to 

75
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,160
not consume things because I 
almost don't want to be inspired

76
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,680
in a way. 
But I think like the music and 

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:22,360
the vibe of it for me really is 
just like a very big part of 

78
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,360
like my personality where like a
lot of people might try and make

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,240
the most fast-paced like here's 
my video Ba ba ba bang like 

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,640
TikTok style like but for me, 
I've always been very like 

81
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,200
mellow and like I always think 
it. 

82
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,800
I always thought it was funny 
growing up like I would, I 

83
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,480
played football and like I was a
pretty good football player, but

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,280
I was like the player on the bus
listening to like acoustic John 

85
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,760
Mayer, you know, while everyone 
else is listening to like rap 

86
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,080
music or whatever. 
Like my hype was like acoustic 

87
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,120
John Mayer sets on YouTube. 
And so I think that it like 

88
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,200
almost translates to like that 
kind of chill vibe of really, I 

89
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,800
don't know, I feel like it's a 
way to kind of let the videos 

90
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,040
breathe too in a in a time 
period where content is very, 

91
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,120
very fast-paced in your face. 
I kind of want to try and keep 

92
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,840
it almost like the complete 
opposite, I guess, but still in 

93
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:26,080
a way that you're like enjoying 
the whole product. 

94
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,480
Like I don't want it to be like 
long and drawn out and boring, 

95
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,320
but I want it to be like mellow 
and like comforting almost, I 

96
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,240
guess, you know? 
But then again, like I have some

97
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,120
videos that are the most like, 
like I'm one of the creators 

98
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,920
who's a little more like, I 
don't know, like rated R on some

99
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,120
videos where like me and my 
friends will be, there are no 

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,760
rules. 
Like if I get demonetized on 

101
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,960
that video, I take the L and 
like we let it RIP and that's 

102
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,160
just like how it is. 
So it's like you. 

103
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Kind of get a little like a 
little bit of both from me I 

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,560
guess. 
I do. 

105
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,680
I I saw one video where actually
at the beginning it said 

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,800
parental advisory. 
Yeah, so. 

107
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:10,200
It's like, at least. 
Some warned people be warned. 

108
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,720
That was probably the big Bass 
Open, which is a tournament that

109
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
we have up at my buddy's cabin 
every year. 

110
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,040
I think we're on five years. 
We filmed it every year. 

111
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,240
Production quality kind of gets 
a little better every year. 

112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,920
That being said, we're up north 
in Minnesota and we are drinking

113
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,200
alcohol and whatever happens on 
that thing happens. 

114
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,520
So like, but it's I think 
there's a there is a big 

115
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,880
audience on disc golf YouTube 
build that I think like once a 

116
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,800
year I post that video and 
they're like, man, this just 

117
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,320
reminds me of like my local 
league growing up like it. 

118
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
It really does have that 
grassroots feeling to it. 

119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,120
And I've been playing disc golf 
for I think 17 years now. 

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,720
So I started in fifth grade. 
So I really try and like, 

121
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,040
although I take it very serious 
and I do play competitively and 

122
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,440
like, I want this sport to like 
blow up and be huge. 

123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,200
I still recognize like when I 
started playing, it's like the 

124
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,040
vibes of disc golf and your 
local league were like so much 

125
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,280
different. 
And I feel like that really 

126
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,200
shaped like my outlook on the 
game. 

127
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,960
And so I try and like represent 
that as well 'cause I think I'm 

128
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,160
one of the like one of the few 
newer creators kind of how you 

129
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,200
were saying like you, you 
stepped out of it. 

130
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,160
You're part of kind of that old 
school crew. 

131
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120
A lot of the newer creators 
haven't actually been playing 

132
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,040
that long. 
Like Bonanza's only been playing

133
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,560
for three to four years, like a 
lot of the guys, whereas I've 

134
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
been playing my whole life. 
So I think I kind of can 

135
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,480
represent like a different 
perspective and I try and show 

136
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,560
that in some videos. 
Yeah, there was a Speaking of 

137
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,760
drinking while playing. 
There was an event out here in 

138
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,040
Pawhuska, Oklahoma called the 
Lodge Team Event. 

139
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,440
And the Lodge has two different 
courses, beautiful courses. 

140
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,280
That's kind of where I got my 
start in disc golf. 

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,640
But they had a the Lodge Team 
event and every team had a 

142
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,200
bottle of Crown Royal and the 
point was to be done with it. 

143
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,720
By the time the end of the round
and my whole 14 or whatever you 

144
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,640
are, you were pretty lit and 
there was some crazy, there's 

145
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,560
some crazy people. 
It was a weekend event and some 

146
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,080
people would camp out and just 
party down on that. 

147
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,000
It was a Saturday, Sunday and 
that Saturday night people would

148
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,240
party. 
And there's some stories of 

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,440
people driving around A4 
Wheelers drunk. 

150
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Just yeah, it was. 
It's stories you probably don't 

151
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,280
want people to know about. 
It was. 

152
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,640
It was, it was fun. 
Well, hey, hey, if you're 

153
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
watching this and you, you ever 
played that event Bobbye talking

154
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,000
about, go watch the big bass 
open. 

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,919
You'll love it. 
So do you think so you've been 

156
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,600
OK? 
So you've been playing since 

157
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,360
first, you said 17 years? 
17 years. 

158
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760
I think I kind of lose the math 
because since 5th grade, though 

159
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,720
I'm 28, somebody maybe can I 
think 17 years. 

160
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,560
So do you think when you decided
to pick up a camera and start 

161
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:58,160
videoing yourself doing disc 
golf, do you think it has 

162
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,760
changed the way you play? 
Do you or or or not? 

163
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Has it how? 
How has it changed it? 

164
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:11,600
So like so I'm, I'm I. 
Feel like I have like a. 

165
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,480
I'm a pretty well-rounded game. 
I have a forehand, backhand, 

166
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,920
power shots, touch shots. 
But at the heart and soul of it 

167
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,400
I like throwing flippy mid, mid 
ranges and putters and finesse 4

168
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,800
hands that like big germ style. 
Like when big germ throws a mid 

169
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,800
range forehand, in my mind I'm 
like, that is that is the 

170
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,200
prettiest shot in the game. 
And so like two players that 

171
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,240
I've really like molded my game 
after is Kayla Visca, his 

172
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,960
backhand and then Jeremy 
Coling's sidearm, which in a way

173
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,480
I feel like are the same, but 
one's backhand and one's 

174
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,080
sidearm, you know what I mean? 
Like very flip up, like touchy, 

175
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,480
but very controlled. 
And so I try and bring those two

176
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,760
aspects. 
I guess what I'm getting at here

177
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,160
is when I film, I want my videos
to be as pretty as possible. 

178
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,640
I want them to look good. 
I want the shots to look good. 

179
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,960
So say I'm filming a a course, 
whatever, and it's a wide open 

180
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,120
hole. 
A lot of people might be like, 

181
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,080
yeah, I'm going to throw, you 
know, 300 foot wide open hole. 

182
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,960
They're like, I'm going to throw
a firebird hyzer. 

183
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Just pin it done. 
I'm like, let me take my super 

184
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
super beat up Buzz S S, throw it
on hyzer out left and let it 

185
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,320
drift over and Annie and and see
if that I can make that work. 

186
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,200
But then I'll be filming all 
week. 

187
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,080
I'll go play a tournament where 
there's that 300 foot wide open 

188
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,680
hole and I'm like, I should 
probably throw the firebird 

189
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:43,960
spike hyzer, you know what I 
mean? 

190
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,680
And so it's like I've always 
enjoyed like the hyzer flip 

191
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,800
touchy backhand stuff, but I 
also have a pretty good 

192
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,120
forehand. 
And so I guess I have this 

193
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,120
constant battle in my head of 
like you're, you're a tournament

194
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,400
player also. 
So you have to keep those stock 

195
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,760
high presented shots. 
But when I'm filming content, 

196
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,720
you're never really going to see
me throw the stock high 

197
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,120
percentage shot. 
And I'm always trying to throw 

198
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,040
the prettiest shot possible and 
it gets you in trouble sometimes

199
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,640
also. 
I feel like I've gotten better 

200
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,440
at those shots because I've 
learned to like do them on 

201
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,840
command while on camera in a 
video that is going to be posted

202
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,920
for thousands of people to see. 
So I almost feel like in a way 

203
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,240
it has made me better, but it's 
like completely changed. 

204
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,520
Like my shot selection. 
And also something I noticed 

205
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,360
that is has got to be horrible 
is throwing and then immediately

206
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,520
trying to move out of the way of
the camera. 

207
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,360
And I find myself literally like
in tournament throwing shots in 

208
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,840
like my form has almost changed 
to like the end of my form is 

209
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,160
now right? 
Like moving off of the T pad, 

210
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,000
like instead of instead of like 
finishing my follow through. 

211
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,400
And I'm like, that can't be good
for like, what are you doing? 

212
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,480
No one's filming like stay on 
the T pad and follow through. 

213
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,160
What is he doing? 
Why is he? 

214
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,120
We don't care to see his throat.
That's that's what, Yeah. 

215
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,600
So does that cause. 
OK, so you trying to. 

216
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,360
So what I hear you saying is 
that when you're in a 

217
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160
tournament, you're playing your 
shots for the most strategy. 

218
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,160
In other words, getting the disc
where you want it to land. 

219
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240
But when you're filming it, you 
want it to look the most 

220
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,440
cinematic because, you know, we 
all love watching a disc fly, 

221
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,840
especially when you see a disc 
flip, you know, flip over and 

222
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,800
come back. 
I mean it's such a sweet thing 

223
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,760
to see that S curve. 
So how do you battle or do you 

224
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,640
battle at all between showing 
your real shots in your content 

225
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,360
or the more cinematic shots? 
Do you find yourself re throwing

226
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,640
to make sure the shot looks 
good? 

227
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,680
Are you pretty good about 
showing the real throws? 

228
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,480
I mean, it all depends on like 
what the like top, like what the

229
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,240
actual video is. 
Like if I'm playing like, I 

230
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,480
guess it's like if I'm playing a
practice round for a tournament,

231
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,000
like I'll be like, hey guys, I 
got a tournament tomorrow. 

232
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,240
I'm going to play practice 
round. 

233
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,240
I'm going to throw 2 off every 
tee. 

234
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
And it's like, yeah, I'm showing
the actual shots. 

235
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,000
But I do some videos that are 
like ASMR videos where it's, you

236
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,240
know, 15 minutes of not a single
word. 

237
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,320
And those are ones where it's 
like, OK, I would I would say 

238
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,600
I'm lucky to be like my strong 
suit is throwing when I'm 

239
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960
playing good. 
I'm a pretty good thrower. 

240
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360
So like I can usually do what 
I'm trying to do. 

241
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:38,080
But so if I'm filming that ASMR 
video and I drill first 

242
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,040
available, the point of that 
video isn't me playing an 18 

243
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,520
hole round for score and trying 
to like shred. 

244
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,040
It's to throw the prettiest 
looking frame and shot. 

245
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,080
So like that might be 1 where 
I'm like, all right, I'll go re 

246
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,400
throw that one, you know, But 
like those videos aren't hey, 

247
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,040
guys, I'm taking us taking score
right now. 

248
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:04,560
Like they're fully like casual, 
I guess, you know, so I kind of 

249
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,400
forget what you're like. 
Original question was but. 

250
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Do do do you find yourself, you 
know, throwing it over and over,

251
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,000
throwing a shot maybe over and 
over again to make sure you get 

252
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,320
that cinematic shot? 
Oh, I guess not really no. 

253
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Like I, I would say only in 
those like in the, in the ASMR 

254
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,360
videos where like the whole 
point is that like it all looks 

255
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,800
pretty, but like I'm so lucky 
that like I swear I, I might be 

256
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,520
one of the people who like when 
you turn the camera on, I think 

257
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,040
I throw better almost like it, 
it, it, it something about it is

258
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,320
like I'll throw these shots 
where I'm like, how do you do 

259
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,280
that? 
And then they happen to be on 

260
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,720
camera. 
So I feel like I get away with 

261
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,840
like a lot of good shots that I 
was trying to throw and I'm 

262
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,960
like, no, I just laced it sick 
like this, you know, Makes my 

263
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,880
job easy, I guess. 
Nice. 

264
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,840
I, I've learned to, I used to 
like warm up, do some roll up 

265
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,240
shots before I hit record. 
Now I've learned to hit record 

266
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,360
because sometimes a warm up shot
just like, OK, that's exactly 

267
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,200
what I wanted on camera. 
So I've learned like even this 

268
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,520
morning I did that. 
I recorded every throw just in 

269
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,960
case I had that that nice throw 
I was looking for. 

270
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,160
So how what is kind of your 
process as far as like coming up

271
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,280
with ideas or when you get an 
idea, What's kind of the walk me

272
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,520
through the process between idea
or coming up with ideas to 

273
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,120
actually getting out on the on 
the course and filming? 

274
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,000
So I feel like that's changed a 
little bit over the last year 

275
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,560
simply because I don't know, I 
guess my attitude towards disc 

276
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,800
golf content has definitely 
changed over the last year. 

277
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,120
When I first started doing this 
maybe three years ago, I felt 

278
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,280
like I had to unlimited ideas. 
Like I was like, oh, there's 

279
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,160
just like everything. 
Like every day I would think of 

280
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,960
like 3 things. 
I'm like I could film 

281
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,760
constantly. 
And you know, I definitely went 

282
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,160
through phases where I was 
posting 6 videos a week for 

283
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,800
months on end. 
And so like you kind of are in a

284
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760
way, like every idea you have, 
you're just making it, posting 

285
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480
it. 
And I kind of got to a point 

286
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:16,000
where I got a little like burnt 
out of the actual ideas 

287
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,240
themself. 
I think because I've been in the

288
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,320
sport so long, things started to
not really interest me. 

289
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760
You know, a lot of like, you 
know, a new disc would come out 

290
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,000
and it and it's very like new 
Simon line. 

291
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,400
This comes out very low hanging 
fruit to go make a review on 

292
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,520
that. 
It's going to do good 

293
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,280
guaranteed. 
I'm kind of at a point right now

294
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,960
where I probably won't make that
review because it just doesn't 

295
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:47,880
like interest me and I'm in a 
weird spot where I'm like IA lot

296
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:52,080
of times right now I just kind 
of go to the course and like see

297
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,480
what happens. 
I, I think I'm maybe one of the,

298
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,320
I'm one of the lucky creators 
that has built like my core 

299
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,599
audience. 
I think more based on like, just

300
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,560
like, like I said at the 
beginning, kind of just like 

301
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,839
we're hanging out. 
You're just kind of watching 

302
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,800
this video to watch it. 
And so like, they almost don't 

303
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,599
need a topic, you know? 
So, yeah, like, I feel like I 

304
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:20,640
wish I had like a better answer 
for you right now, but I'm kind 

305
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,720
of on this wave of almost just 
going filming and knowing, like 

306
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,480
my core audience is going to 
enjoy this. 

307
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,680
Like because we're just playing 
disc golf. 

308
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,680
Like I have a video that I just 
filmed with my buddy last night.

309
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,280
The title of it right now is 
literally just two buds out 

310
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,680
having fun times in the woods 
playing games. 

311
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,920
And the reason that that is the 
title is because my buddy Ethan,

312
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,840
like says that at the end of the
video. 

313
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,920
And I think that kind of like 
speaks to like my idea making 

314
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,280
right now is like I have two 
sides of like core audience 

315
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,000
videos and then other videos of 
things that maybe really like 

316
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,640
catch my interest. 
Like I have a couple longer form

317
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,880
videos that are going on kind of
like lot like much longer 

318
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,040
processes of filming and 
editing. 

319
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000
And I guess those are the ones 
that I'm putting a lot more 

320
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,960
thought process into. 
And those ones are a lot of 

321
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,320
time. 
And this is something new for 

322
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,280
me, I guess, which I guess may 
be good to like talk about is 

323
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,480
I've never like not these aren't
even fully scripted, but the 

324
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,000
idea is scripted out like in my 
notes, like I have the topic. 

325
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520
And then I'll have like, OK, 
this is what I want the intro to

326
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,200
kind of be. 
This is what I want like act one

327
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,040
to be. 
This is what I want Act 2 to be.

328
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,360
This is what I want the ending 
to be. 

329
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,120
And I'm finally trying to make 
like, I almost call it like 

330
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,480
actual YouTube content, you 
know, like I feel like anyone 

331
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,040
who has consumed enough of like 
how to make YouTube video 

332
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,040
content knows like there is a 
formula to like making a YouTube

333
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,440
video. 
And just in the last month or 

334
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:09,840
two, I've finally taken the 
steps to like, like dial it back

335
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,680
and not feel so rushed all the 
time. 

336
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,800
And like spend a couple weeks on
a video and like really like get

337
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,280
into the process of like the 
storyline and like like taking 

338
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,320
multiple days to film, going to 
multiple courses to get the 

339
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,120
shots you want, you know, and 
really making like a good 

340
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:31,040
finished product. 
Rather than I feel like a lot of

341
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,880
disc golf content is just go to 
the course, 2 hours later, 

342
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,520
you're done filming, go home, 
edit it, upload it, boom. 

343
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,520
You like, your videos are a one 
day process a lot of times and 

344
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,600
it's done. 
And I'm a lot more fulfilled on 

345
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,160
like the creative side of these 
longer form videos. 

346
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,480
And I'm trying to get away from 
the, like machine that is disc 

347
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,000
golf YouTube, but feeling like 
we have to post 567 times a week

348
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,280
just to like, make it a thing. 
I guess. 

349
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,960
So, yeah, I don't know. 
I, I, I'm so scatterbrained. 

350
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,800
So like that might have answered
your question but. 

351
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,400
No, OK, it's, it's interesting 
because it is it is a journey 

352
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,440
that that I've gone through. 
And I know a lot of people 

353
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,920
where, I mean, I remember back 
in the day, I was excited and I 

354
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,160
was like, idea after idea. 
We're publishing, you know, two 

355
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,720
or three videos a week. 
And then you do kind of get kind

356
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,960
of a burnout because if there is
a lot to it, you get excited and

357
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800
it's like the ideas are just 
filling your head and they come 

358
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,960
one right after the other. 
And then once you're done, it's 

359
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,960
like then it's like, oh, yeah, 
this is where the real work 

360
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,200
kicks. 
I mean, it's all work. 

361
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,880
But like, it really is a lot of 
work to say, OK, what's the next

362
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,560
idea? 
Especially when you're trying to

363
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,640
chase views and stuff like that.
And then I know another, the 

364
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,880
thing I had was you mentioned 
some people like, you know, like

365
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,640
the, the Super fast edits and 
I've, you know, I've heard it 

366
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,360
call it the Mr. beastification 
to video editing. 

367
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,320
And I think that there's some, I
think people are feeling a 

368
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,240
little bit of a fatigue, like 
they're tired, You know, it's 

369
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,200
like their brain is, it's 
exciting, it's nice and it and 

370
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,800
it and it fulfills that novelty 
dopamine hit. 

371
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520
Then after a while you're like, 
I just want to chill and just 

372
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,000
watch somebody play some disc 
golf. 

373
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,400
And I think that's where yours 
kind of hit that it's like, I 

374
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,040
don't want the constant barrage 
of edits. 

375
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,560
I just want to watch someone 
having a good time doing 

376
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:22,920
something and I love doing as 
well. 

377
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,680
So I think that's that's great. 
And that's what I'm trying to 

378
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,520
figure out with our YouTube 
channels, like where do we fit 

379
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,440
in? 
We have such a large subscriber 

380
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,640
base, but you know, I'm 
challenged with our view numbers

381
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,120
because I think we're having to 
reteach our subscribers what 

382
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:41,080
we're all about. 
So anyway, that's kind of a 

383
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:47,680
tangent for me. 
So as far as, like you said, you

384
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,240
kind of like the vibe, you like 
just kind of the hanging out. 

385
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,520
But some people obviously don't 
probably like that type. 

386
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,440
And I'm sure you probably get, I
don't know how you are as far as

387
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,720
like reading comments and when 
people engage with you, how do 

388
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,400
you deal with the comments that 
you get, maybe some unexpected 

389
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,680
comments. 
You know, so like, I'm still 

390
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,760
like I read every single 
comment. 

391
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,040
I actually for, for probably the
first two years, I replied to 

392
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,960
every single comment I ever got 
on a YouTube video. 

393
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,640
And for some people that might 
not be a ton in their first two 

394
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,200
years, but I was, I had this 
crazy engagement percentage 

395
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,360
where like I would get a video 
with 1000 views and it would 

396
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:36,960
have 100 comments. 
So like I would like early on 

397
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,800
the engagement numbers on my 
videos were like absurd and I 

398
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600
would reply to every single one 
of them. 

399
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:51,920
I also think I'm in the like I 
get lucky to where I bet one out

400
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,520
of every 50 comments is negative
on my videos. 

401
00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:01,400
Like I almost get like almost no
hate other than the way I dress.

402
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,840
That is the only thing that 
people like cannot handle is 

403
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,520
like that my shorts are too 
short or I wear white socks that

404
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:17,080
are like just your your normal 
like mid like it's just like the

405
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:23,240
most stupid stuff that in my 
mind I'm like, OK, but like this

406
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,280
doesn't matter. 
So like in a in 10 minutes like 

407
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:31,240
I forget about it sometimes, 
like. 

408
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:34,000
I don't know the comments are. 
Something that like they get to 

409
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,520
me, but I think I have a quick 
or was it a quick memory or 

410
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,760
whatever? 
Like I forget about it fast. 

411
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080
And so I feel like, I don't 
know. 

412
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:50,080
I feel like I'm very, very lucky
to just like have almost really 

413
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,160
gotten like just a very small 
percentage of hate. 

414
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,880
And when I do, it's like, yeah, 
some stuff might bother me like 

415
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,840
right away, but like in 1/2 an 
hour I literally forgot that it 

416
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,720
even exists. 
So like you just kind of move on

417
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,000
from it. 
I also think what maybe one 

418
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,240
thing that's helped, and I've 
kind of feel like I've talked 

419
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,760
about this in a few videos over 
the last like 6 months. 

420
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:19,640
And just like with some other 
people, is that content forever?

421
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,480
I think content overall is 
usually somebody giving their 

422
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,200
opinion on something which 
everyone has an opinion that's 

423
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,200
totally cool. 
But I think disc golf, YouTube 

424
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,800
kind of got to a point where 
everyone needed felt the need to

425
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,960
have an opinion on everything 
that happened. 

426
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,280
Like if this new disc comes out,
if this event had something 

427
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,680
crazy happen, if this, whatever 
it is, everyone needed an 

428
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,080
opinion. 
And I was so sick of giving my 

429
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,560
opinion because I felt like I 
was part of that. 

430
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,840
Like I'm like, we're all just 
sitting here given our kind of 

431
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,360
useless opinion on all this 
stuff. 

432
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,920
It's like, guys, we're just 
throwing Frisbees. 

433
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,760
Like we're just literally 
playing disc golf. 

434
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:06,360
And so I kind of dialed back the
opinions and just made it much 

435
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:10,040
less like, I'm not really giving
opinions. 

436
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,280
I'm just hanging out playing 
disc golf. 

437
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,320
Like. 
And so there was less for people

438
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,320
to kind of combat with me, you 
know, like they're really, I 

439
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,760
almost don't give people things 
to like disagree with because 

440
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,200
the takes that I have nowadays, 
I feel like are just very like 

441
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,280
more neutral, just kind of like,
hey, this is what's going on, 

442
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,600
you know, like, and I'm just, I 
don't know, I just don't give 

443
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,960
them really anything to even 
work with because I just 

444
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,200
realized it doesn't matter. 
It just was so, so like burnt 

445
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,280
out for me. 
So yeah, I don't know. 

446
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,080
I feel like every, I've, I've 
been on like a few podcasts and 

447
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,640
they always, like most people 
ask me that like the comment, 

448
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,160
like how do you deal with the 
comments? 

449
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,040
And I've always kind of had the 
same answer of just like I got 

450
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,920
lucky where it's just such a 
small percentage that like it's 

451
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,400
my, my, my comments I feel like 
are so positive overall. 

452
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,880
It's like a really good 
community. 

453
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,280
So that's good. 
Yeah, yeah, all. 

454
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,840
Right. 
Let's switch, let's switch gears

455
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,800
a little bit. 
Let's talk at camera gear. 

456
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,400
What? 
What did you start out with and 

457
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,680
what are you using now? 
So I started out with a Sony 

458
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:24,520
A60300 with the Rode wireless go
twos maybe. 

459
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,840
I never remember that. 
I feel like they're like they 

460
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,840
got like 10 names on them. 
So I actually had like AI call 

461
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,680
it like a videography background
before I started doing this 

462
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,080
because, and I, I, I give it the
finger quotes because basically 

463
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,000
what happened is in 2020, I 
mean, a few, few friends were 

464
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,080
like, I'm from Minnesota, that's
where I grew up, whatever. 

465
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:51,160
And we're like, let's move to 
Arizona. 

466
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,880
I was like, let's, you know, try
something, let's figure figure 

467
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,200
it out. 
I don't know, I want to do 

468
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,120
something. 
And then I was like, I've never 

469
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,920
owned a camera. 
I've never even taken a like, 

470
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,160
I've always, I've always kind of
been the guy who was like taking

471
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,240
iPhone, you know, like making 
Instagram stuff, like way back 

472
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,800
when it first started, whatever.
But like I had never had a 

473
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,480
camera or anything. 
And I was like, I'm going to 

474
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,320
move to Arizona. 
I'm going to become a 

475
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,520
videographer. 
I didn't even know what that 

476
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,480
meant at that point. 
I moved there. 

477
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,720
I somehow meet some buddies at 
the gym that I was going to who 

478
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,640
like were full time biographers 
in like the Phoenix metro area. 

479
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,640
One of them has like his like 
third string camera Sony A60300.

480
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,240
He's like I'll sell it to you 
for he literally sold it to me 

481
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,560
for like 250 bucks. 
He kind of like hooked it up. 

482
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560
I was like sounds good. 
I'll buy it. 

483
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,960
Get that. 
I do freelance videography for a

484
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,200
couple years and basically I was
good enough at talking to people

485
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,760
to like sell them a service that
almost didn't exist. 

486
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,120
And I would just YouTube 
everything and figure it out and

487
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,680
never got a complaint. 
So I guess it kind of worked. 

488
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,720
And I did that for a couple 
years and then I really got 

489
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,120
burnt out of like the, the like 
making content for other people.

490
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,680
And so I moved to Nashville 
'cause I think maybe this will 

491
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,160
help. 
Maybe this will make me figure 

492
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,840
it out. 
And so I don't have a job. 

493
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,160
I was like living on savings. 
And then I'm like, OK, let me 

494
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,720
not let me play disco. 
I was playing disc golf every 

495
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,800
day because I didn't have a job.
That's all I would do. 

496
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,000
And then one day I was like, you
know, I have all this camera 

497
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,480
gear. 
It's pretty good camera gear. 

498
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,640
Like, you know, I'm like, let's,
I'll, I'll start filming this. 

499
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,680
And so I started filming and I 
forget if it was my, I think it 

500
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,000
was like my 7th, maybe my ninth 
ever video. 

501
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,280
It was me and my buddy Ethan. 
We made like a review of the 

502
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,640
outer production disc Craft 
Pulse, because it was a video, a

503
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,840
disc that we had growing up that
we loved. 

504
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,160
It had a little little thumb 
track thing. 

505
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,040
And I had found two of them on 
Facebook Marketplace. 

506
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,400
A dude was selling for $5. 
They were like in mint 

507
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,400
condition, bought those. 
We make a review, the review or 

508
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,240
I would like a reviewer just out
playing with him, whatever. 

509
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,320
But the video gets 5 or the 
video gets 1000 views in one 

510
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,640
week. 
And that was my first time ever 

511
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,880
getting 1000 views. 
And I was like, oh OK, this is 

512
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,840
my job now. 
Cool. 

513
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,520
Like that's kind of what I got. 
It's back to your original 

514
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,760
impression. 
I had the A 6300 and at the time

515
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,520
I had funny enough I bought the 
A 6300 for like 250 bucks but I 

516
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:42,160
actually kind of splurged on 
Sony 18 to one O 5 like power 

517
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,840
zoom lens, like a APSC lens, 
pretty solid disc golf lens. 

518
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,440
And so that definitely made like
the quality a lot better and 

519
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:55,320
then had the wireless mics and 
use that for I bet I filmed 250 

520
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,560
videos on it maybe. 
And then honestly I probably 

521
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,360
never would have upgraded unless
I was I was in Arizona a couple 

522
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:09,760
winters ago and it kept 
overheating even in like 80° and

523
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,880
sunny but like it kept 
overheating. 

524
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,400
So I was like OK I need to 
figure this out. 

525
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,840
I had another buddy who had 
bought a a 6400 big upgrade like

526
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,040
barely but it was newer and the 
battery life was better so I 

527
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,280
ended up buying that from him. 
So basically same they're almost

528
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,680
the same exact camera. 
The one just like had better 

529
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,000
battery life really is all it 
was. 

530
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,440
I started using that film 
probably another 200 videos on 

531
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,240
that and then actually like 
literally a week and a half ago.

532
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,560
I I only buy This is how you 
know know I grew up like with 

533
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,880
not much money and buying stuff 
at thrift stores. 

534
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,160
I've never bought any new camera
gear really everything I just 

535
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,440
buy from friends that don't want
it anymore. 

536
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:01,120
So I buy another Sony, Sony ZV 
E10. 

537
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,720
Basically it's like kind of the 
same level camera, but it has a 

538
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,520
flip out screen, which the 
cameras I had been using before 

539
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,760
did not have. 
And so the flip out screen has 

540
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,480
been like a game changer just 
being able to actually like see 

541
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,280
myself in front of the camera. 
And and then right now I'm using

542
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,920
the Sony 18 to 135, just the kit
lens actually that comes with 

543
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,360
the with the a 6400. 
But honestly, for disc golf for 

544
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,760
like a mid level, like, you 
know, you could probably get the

545
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:38,040
set up for maybe 1500 thirteen, 
$100 like it's a pretty good 

546
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,040
lens. 
And then so yeah, that's what 

547
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:48,000
I'm using right now, the Sony, 
Sony ZV E10 and then 18 to 135 

548
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:49,760
usually. 
Have an ND. 

549
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,160
Filter on there. 
If it's overcast I actually use 

550
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,200
a a promise filter. 
Make it look nice and kind of 

551
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,920
cinematic I guess. 
And then yeah. 

552
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,960
So like nothing super fancy. 
I don't know if I'll, I think 

553
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,400
I'd have to be like making so 
much more money to buy like a 

554
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,880
full frame setup, like like a 
six $7000 setup. 

555
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,640
I just, I just seems crazy to me
right now. 

556
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,080
So I'll probably just keep 
working with what I got. 

557
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,200
But what do you guys use or what
do you use? 

558
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,040
Well, I use a a Osmo pocket 3, 
the DGI Osmo Pocket three. 

559
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,520
I use that. 
Yeah, I'm using it right now 

560
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,000
because you can use it as a 
webcam. 

561
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,120
I like because it has this it 
the the top of it spins around. 

562
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,720
So I can actually my viewfinder,
I can watch as I'm filming, 

563
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,240
which is which I really like. 
And then for pictures, I use the

564
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,120
the Sony. 
What is it? 

565
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,120
A 7/3 And I've used that for 
video as well. 

566
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,200
I just, I'm, I'm with you. 
I hate not being able to if I'm 

567
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,960
filming myself, I got to see 
myself. 

568
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,440
I got to see what's in France 
and that that view. 

569
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,160
Three just has the one that 
flips up, but it's like, not 

570
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,760
really. 
Like you can't actually. 

571
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,560
Like, I don't understand how 
that design ever, like made it 

572
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,480
through. 
Like it's pointless. 

573
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,600
Almost like, yeah, yeah. 
Yeah, why don't you read the 

574
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,440
room, Sony with your blockers? 
They want to. 

575
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,520
Be themselves so like. 
And then for my running gun, I 

576
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,280
have a Canon Vixia. 
I can't remember the the number 

577
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,280
of it, but it's just the, the 
small compact little running. 

578
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,560
Yeah, it's not, it's not a 
smaller one. 

579
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,800
It's kind of in between like a 
professional and a just a 

580
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,720
casual, casual 1. 
And I, I find that that one's 

581
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,440
look getting a little outdated 
because even this little Osmo 

582
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,600
has a bigger sensor. 
So the pictures are a little 

583
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,680
more sharper. 
And then of course for B roll, I

584
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,240
sometimes I just grab my iPhone 
and and do some B roll with the 

585
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,280
iPhone, which is I'm never 
really I'm. 

586
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,920
Kind of one of those, I'm kind 
of one of those like I also 

587
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,800
don't have, I think I still have
like the 13 Pro iPhone, but I'm 

588
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:01,080
one of those like snobs where 
like I can tell it's iPhone 

589
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,680
footage immediately and I just 
like, don't like how it looks. 

590
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,280
I'm just like, no, I like, I 
like refuse to film on my 

591
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,400
iPhone. 
Like I, I the only time I've 

592
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,199
ever filmed the video on my 
iPhone, I filmed 2 videos. 

593
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,679
I did vlogmas a couple years ago
and I broke my lens with two 

594
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:22,719
days left. 
So I had to film 2 videos with 

595
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,400
the iPhone and I was just like, 
I hate this. 

596
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,719
Like, even though nobody 
probably noticed besides me, 

597
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,120
like everything's just like for 
me out, like, you know, I'm just

598
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,920
like, no, I can't. 
I can't have that. 

599
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,320
So when you did the the 
freelancing in Arizona, like did

600
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,000
you just do whatever people 
asked you to do or was there a 

601
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,480
specific? 
Kinda, yeah. 

602
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,440
Like I did a lot of like fitness
stuff. 

603
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,120
I used to be like used to do 
like personal training and 

604
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,000
stuff. 
And then so I was always in gyms

605
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,440
and then, you know, gym people 
want their videos taken. 

606
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,800
So you start doing that. 
And then back in 2020 when like 

607
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,120
the world was affordable, you 
know, videography rates, even 

608
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,960
when you're starting out, it's 
like I could make like more 

609
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,280
money than I'd ever made in like
1 month from doing like some 

610
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,800
videos. 
And I was like, this is insane. 

611
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,680
And you know, now I look back on
some of that stuff I did, I'm 

612
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,560
like, this is the worst stuff 
I've ever seen. 

613
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:22,680
But. 
Now what? 

614
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:27,080
It's like the the bar has gotten
so much higher in the last, you 

615
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,080
know, 5-6 years. 
It's insane. 

616
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,400
But yeah. 
So what did you learn doing that

617
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,640
that you now bring into your 
YouTube, your disc golf YouTube?

618
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,840
So to be honest, I feel like all
I really knew was I knew how to 

619
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,440
use the settings on, I knew how 
to shoot in manual on a camera, 

620
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,600
which I think separate is like a
big, a lot of people think 

621
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,160
they're going to get a camera 
and it'll look really good. 

622
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,000
Whereas if you don't know how to
use a camera, it's going to look

623
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,120
significantly worse than your 
iPhone does. 

624
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,280
But if you know how to use a 
camera, it's going to look, in 

625
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,040
my opinion, significantly 
better. 

626
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,720
So literally I knew how to shoot
in manual, I knew how to like 

627
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,600
work the settings and then I 
already knew how to use Final 

628
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,720
Cut Pro. 
That's kind of it. 

629
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:20,800
But, but back in, you know, 
2021-2022 in disc golf, if you 

630
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,560
knew how to use a camera, you, 
you were kind of still ahead of 

631
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,200
the game a little bit, you know,
So it like, I think right away 

632
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,640
the production quality like kind
of people are like, oh, this 

633
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,680
looks a little better than most 
people, you know, like I think 

634
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Foundation at the time, I'm sure
their stuff already looked good.

635
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,800
I'm sure like, maybe at the 
brands actually, like at DD, at 

636
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,360
Dysmania, at whatever, they 
probably had actual media people

637
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,040
making, like, higher quality. 
But it's in terms of, like 

638
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,440
creators, I might have been like
one of the only ones who like, 

639
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,240
knew how to use a camera. 
And then like, so I think that 

640
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:04,000
kind of like gave me the upper 
hand immediately where my first 

641
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,120
videos were probably better than
they would have been if I went 

642
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,480
in with no knowledge, you know? 
Yeah. 

643
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,040
So you earlier you mentioned 
like that content has gotten 

644
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,760
better and better and better. 
How does that affect how you are

645
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,640
going to move forward with your 
content? 

646
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,720
I guess what is kind of the 
plans with your car? 

647
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,600
Are you just going to like go 
until you can't go anymore? 

648
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,000
What's what's kind of your plan 
there? 

649
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,400
That's the question, because 
that is so honestly, that's what

650
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,320
I like. 
I wake up every day and that's 

651
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,960
the first thing I think about 
every day for the last like year

652
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,960
because you know, this golf 
since such a such a good spot, 

653
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,680
but also such a weird spot and 
there's money to be made. 

654
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:52,960
But you got to be, I feel like 
you got to be very business 

655
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,200
minded and I am not business 
minded. 

656
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,720
I'm very much like make the art 
and hopefully people come and 

657
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:03,000
unfortunately that doesn't 
always work out. 

658
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,200
And I really don't have an 
answer for your question because

659
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,480
that's the question I asked 
myself like every day. 

660
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,280
But I I'm trying to like a kind 
of touched on is like I'm trying

661
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,200
to make more like in depth 
videos right now, a little more 

662
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,280
like not like all my videos are 
long form, but I I call them 

663
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,600
like long form videos because 
they're like more of like a 

664
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:31,240
process and more of like a story
and more just more to them. 

665
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,400
The the weird thing in disc 
golf, though, it's like you can 

666
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:43,800
put so much into a video and the
return will be the same as going

667
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,480
in reviewing the new disc on the
market. 

668
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,080
You know, it's so it's so weird.
Like I'll spend a week on a 

669
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,960
video and then I'll spend one 
hour on a video and the one hour

670
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,920
video makes me twice as much 
money and does twice as much 

671
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:02,960
views and, and and I'm just 
like, so I don't know, I'm 

672
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,800
trying to like figure out. 
I really am trying to figure out

673
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:11,800
that like next move of I know I 
can't make 5-6 videos a week. 

674
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,560
I haven't been doing that in a 
long time because I realized I, 

675
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,440
I just couldn't. 
But it really is like that kind 

676
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,000
of like the business aspect of 
like, all right, how can I 

677
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:27,520
continue to make this a career 
and like grow and like make more

678
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,200
money and like make it 
sustainable basically. 

679
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,800
And if somebody has the answer, 
let me know. 

680
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,920
Comment Dude I I don't know, 
it's it's a weird spot right 

681
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,320
now. 
It is disc golf is in a weird 

682
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:47,600
spot because I mean, before the 
whole pandemic, it was, it feels

683
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,800
like we're kind of back to where
we're steadily growing. 

684
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,600
How do we get bigger? 
And then the pandemic and we 

685
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,440
exploded. 
And then all of a sudden it's 

686
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,160
just like now it's being, well, 
we're, it feels like we're 

687
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,560
steadying out. 
But it got deflated pretty big 

688
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,360
after the pandemic kind of 
settled. 

689
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,480
I always like to think of it as 
I think Hunter from Foundation 

690
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,280
has said this in a few things 
where it's like, OK, this is 

691
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,400
where we were pre pandemic. 
This is where we were peak 

692
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,760
pandemic. 
This is where we are now. 

693
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,520
So if you really look at it, 
we're still way up, you know, 

694
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,760
and I try and look at it, it's 
like, yeah, we might be not be 

695
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,400
at the peak, but we're still so 
far up from pre 2020 that like, 

696
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,320
you know, I try and look at it 
that way because I feel like if 

697
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,560
I just looked at it as like, oh 
God, everything's crashing and 

698
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,760
burning, I'd be like, what am I 
even doing, you know? 

699
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,440
No, no, we're just, it feels 
like we're just leveling back 

700
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,480
out back to where we need to be 
rather than trying to get to 

701
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,680
that explosive growth and, you 
know, go ahead. 

702
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,840
I was going to say I feel like 
things like this are good, Like 

703
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,840
me and you talking right now 
because it's disco. 

704
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,080
I think it's probably every 
genre, niche, whatever you want 

705
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,600
to call it. 
But it's like the creators all 

706
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,520
need to like be on the same team
really. 

707
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,400
You know, if one person like 
breaks through, that's a good 

708
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,080
thing for all of us. 
You know, like I had this 

709
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,520
conversation. 
Me and me and Bonanza, we've 

710
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,160
been pretty, pretty good buddies
since we both first started. 

711
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,080
We both kind of started around 
the same time. 

712
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,880
And I remember a phone call that
we had, I had like 1000 

713
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,200
subscribers. 
This was probably about three 

714
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,960
years ago. 
He had maybe, maybe I feel like 

715
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,240
he had three. 
No, maybe I had 3000. 

716
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:40,760
He had like 10,000, so like a 
fraction of like where now and 

717
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,720
we got on a phone call. 
It was like our first time 

718
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:46,200
talking and we just talked about
how like the only way we're 

719
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,680
making this work is if we all 
work together, you know, and 

720
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,920
from like day one, we've all 
been like, guys, we need to like

721
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,240
figure this out together because
we all want to do this. 

722
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,560
We all want to make a career out
of this. 

723
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,240
But like right now there is no 
blueprint. 

724
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:05,240
So we need to figure out the 
blueprint and it's it hasn't 

725
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:07,560
been easy, but I don't know 
trying to figure it out. 

726
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,360
Yeah, I what I find interesting 
is like, I mean, I've read 

727
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,400
different articles and I've seen
different people talk about 

728
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,640
where when they ask kids, what 
do you want to be? 

729
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,960
And when they put YouTube down, 
it's just amazing to think that 

730
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,760
this could be something that 
people strive to be as a career.

731
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,000
With that being said, what are 
what would if someone were to 

732
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,480
ask you or what are some of the 
misconceptions do you think 

733
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,960
people need to know about? 
That's a good one and I get I 

734
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,960
kind of get this question a lot 
because I I feel like I mean 

735
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,120
maybe all the creators, I'm sure
a lot of the creators get this 

736
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,840
message a lot, but it it's the 
hey man, you inspired me to 

737
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,120
start making content. 
What camera gear should I get? 

738
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,000
What mic should I get? 
Like what can I do to start out?

739
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:59,120
How should I go about it? 
And or, and a lot of times the 

740
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,920
question is also like, how do I 
come up with like good ideas? 

741
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,320
And I think some of the 
questions, OK, like if you don't

742
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,960
know anything about gear, here's
a few, you know, try this out, 

743
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,560
blah, blah, blah, but. 
It's, you know, it's an 

744
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,760
investment. 
Initially, but I think a lot of 

745
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:22,200
times it's all like you have to 
actually enjoy the process and 

746
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,680
disc golf for me has been 
something I've done my whole 

747
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,640
life. 
You know, pretty much. 

748
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:32,880
And I'd be lying if I said like,
doing this full time hasn't at 

749
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,240
some points taken like a little 
bit of that joy away where I'm 

750
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,640
working one week being like, I 
got to get these videos out. 

751
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,200
And you're just like, you know, 
this isn't really fun this week.

752
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,840
You know, like I went and filmed
the video 2 days ago. 

753
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:52,120
It was like 40° and raining. 
And I was like, but I'm like, I 

754
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,840
have to do this. 
Like I usually have to go like, 

755
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,200
so I just did it and it's it's, 
it's you have to have like the 

756
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,400
passion for it. 
You also have to be realistic. 

757
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,640
I think about how like you're 
probably not always gonna enjoy 

758
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,320
it and it might turn like your 
favorite thing to do. 

759
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,040
It might take the thing that you
do to like make yourself the 

760
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,680
happiest. 
It might change that 

761
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,680
relationship you have with it. 
And I guess if we're talking 

762
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,840
like YouTube overall, like maybe
you can go be a different style 

763
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,440
of YouTube. 
But if we're talking like disc 

764
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,040
golf, I think for a lot of 
people like. 

765
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,480
If I was being totally. 
Honest with a lot of people, I'd

766
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,280
say, hey man, just keep posting 
on Instagram, have fun with it. 

767
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,800
Maybe you get to the point where
companies send you some free 

768
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,520
discs and that's super cool and 
you get to be part of this 

769
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,520
community. 
But I'm like if you really want 

770
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,320
to try and like make the YouTube
like full time creator thing a 

771
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,800
thing like the amount, the 
amount of hours I feel like that

772
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,600
you have to put in to make like.
Dollars. 

773
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,360
Per hour, like is, I think 
something that a lot of people 

774
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,760
probably don't realize. 
And I think you just have to 

775
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,160
enjoy the process. 
If you're not the type of person

776
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:10,560
who like enjoys making the 
videos and enjoys the whole 

777
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,720
process. 
And it's not gonna be all the 

778
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:14,160
time. 
There's gonna be times when you 

779
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,320
don't enjoy it. 
But like for the most part, if 

780
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,880
that's not you, then I think 
you're you really just like 

781
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,360
seeing like maybe the glamour of
it and thinking like, I want to 

782
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,800
do that. 
But like it's so much time and 

783
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,600
so much like mental, like energy
put into it. 

784
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,920
And I don't know. 
That's that's the thing with 

785
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,320
that. 
I struggle with a lot is like 

786
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:45,360
the idea of OK, disc golf's just
like been my favorite thing to 

787
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:50,640
do my whole entire life. 
And now it's like the only thing

788
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,440
that I think about because it's 
my job. 

789
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,960
And some days I'm like, man, I 
wish I could just like go play 

790
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,680
and eat, like disassociate. 
The idea that like I've, I've 

791
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,840
gone through a lot of phases 
where I feel guilty to play disc

792
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,760
golf if I'm not filming it 
because I feel like I'm 

793
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,640
literally like burning money. 
Like I'm like, bro, if you just 

794
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,880
filmed this, you make more 
money. 

795
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,240
That's how it works. 
But you're just like choosing 

796
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:21,400
not to. 
I'm like, what, what are you 

797
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,040
doing? 
And but then it's like, yeah, 

798
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,760
but I haven't played a casual 
round in two weeks, 3 weeks. 

799
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,440
What you know, and I don't know 
it, it's, it's tricky. 

800
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,880
I think to make it simple, you 
got it. 

801
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,040
You got to have the passion. 
You got to like enjoy the, the 

802
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,280
process of making the videos. 
But I also think if you're 

803
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,720
asking somebody like, hey, man, 
I want to make YouTube videos 

804
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:47,400
about disc golf, what should I 
make them about? 

805
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,360
Or what could I do to set myself
apart? 

806
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,880
Maybe it's not for you because I
think those those questions 

807
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,560
should maybe already be answered
for you of like, I want to make 

808
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,200
this. 
It's OK if you're like, hey, 

809
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,720
hey, I want to make this. 
This is the ideas I have. 

810
00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:06,440
These are the the plans I have. 
But hey, I need a little help on

811
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,880
the camera gear. 
What should I use? 

812
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,040
I'm like, OK, you know what you 
want. 

813
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,920
Like I can help you set up your 
camera, but I can't help you 

814
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,560
come up with the ideas, you 
know, because that's that's you.

815
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,840
And if it's an idea that comes 
from me, you're probably not 

816
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,160
passionate. 
About that idea. 

817
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:26,480
Yeah, so I like that. 
Yeah, I get, I get messages on, 

818
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,760
you know, Instagram people 
saying, hey, I, I just found out

819
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,800
disc golf. 
I love it. 

820
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,120
I think it's amazing. 
I started a YouTube channel or 

821
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,280
started Instagram page. 
Can you send me some gear? 

822
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,320
And I'm like, I get it. 
That's in my mind. 

823
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,520
I'm thinking, I get it. 
That's what helps you create 

824
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,680
content. 
You're excited, which is 

825
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,200
fantastic. 
And then I go check out their 

826
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,840
channel and they've got maybe 3 
videos or you know, 10 posts on 

827
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,160
Instagram. 
I'm like, I want to say, come 

828
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,120
back to me when you have about 
30 or 40 videos. 

829
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,200
You've been doing it for about a
year. 

830
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,920
And then if you're still 
passionate about it, maybe we 

831
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,440
can talk. 
But you know, a lot of people 

832
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,480
they, they fizzle out pretty 
fast when they, they realize 

833
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,800
that the fun turns into work and
it's actual work. 

834
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,720
And then they, they, they lose 
the fun out of it and then they,

835
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,200
they kind of move on. 
So. 

836
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,480
And I think, I think another 
like good aspect to like touch 

837
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,320
on is it's all about what you 
want out of it. 

838
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,120
Yeah. 
You know, like if all you want 

839
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:27,720
out of it is to have if like the
video making is just for fun to 

840
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:31,600
you have at it because that 
means the views don't matter. 

841
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,640
That means nothing matters 
besides you just like maybe 

842
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,120
getting out with your buddies, 
filming around and and at the 

843
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,640
very least when you guys are 70 
years old, you can go watch the 

844
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,280
videos and make that was so fun.
But if you're going into it with

845
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,480
the idea that like, I want to 
make this my job, well, you got 

846
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,120
to like figure you got to 
really, it's a different, it's a

847
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,760
different. 
Mindset depending on what you 

848
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,920
want out of it so. 
How are you? 

849
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,280
What's your like? 
What are you most excited for 

850
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,400
right now? 
I, I know you, it's funny 

851
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,840
because like you give me your 
whole intro at the beginning of 

852
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,760
the thing, but it's like, trust 
me, like I've seen about every 

853
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,480
disc golf video there is on 
YouTube. 

854
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,600
Like me and my buddies back in 
middle school used to sit in the

855
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:23,640
basement and like watch every, 
every single disc golf video. 

856
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,760
So it's like I've seen them all.
You know, I've seen disc golf 

857
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,080
answer man way back in the day. 
I've seen disc golf weekly. 

858
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:36,120
I've seen my favorites are the 
the Mark Ellis disc craft 

859
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,480
instructional clinics. 
I don't know if you ever saw 

860
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:43,040
those. 
Mark Ellis, I'm gonna throw my. 

861
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,680
Rattler on forehand, but I don't
know I. 

862
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,120
Guess what? 
Are you excited for 'cause 

863
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,960
you've been part of this? 
Like you've been making this 

864
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,640
content for so long and 
obviously it's so different now.

865
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,200
I'm just, I'm just excited that 
it's it's becoming even more a 

866
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,480
thing where around the content 
creation part, right when I 

867
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,000
first approached Jeremy and 
said, Hey, do you find any value

868
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,320
in someone coming out and 
filming your tournaments and 

869
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,000
taking photos? 
And he was like, yeah, come on 

870
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:16,840
out. 
And I did it. 

871
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,320
And then he saw people watching 
it. 

872
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,560
And so he was like, OK, this is 
something we should do. 

873
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,560
But then when I was like trying 
to talk him into hire me full 

874
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,240
time, he was like, do you think 
you'll have enough to do? 

875
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:31,240
I mean, would you, would you 
pull an order if we needed you 

876
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:32,880
to? 
And I'm like, yeah, I'd pull an 

877
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,280
order. 
I'd do anything to be able to do

878
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,720
this. 
And, and by the time I left, it 

879
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:40,920
was me and two full time content
creators and a part time content

880
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,160
creator. 
And I was trying to get her to 

881
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,400
come on full time. 
So it's exciting to see though, 

882
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:52,360
that other companies and people 
are seeing that there's a world 

883
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,280
that you can create content and 
it's in disc golf. 

884
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,760
So you can kind of join 2 
passions that you have. 

885
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,000
And, and I mean, as I'm read 
more about social media and the 

886
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,960
growth about the, the creator 
economy where the average person

887
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,080
is going to become someone that 
can just make a little bit of 

888
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,640
extra money off creating 
content. 

889
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,240
It's exciting to see that 
happening in disc golf. 

890
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:17,720
Like I said earlier, like the 
you know, before it was just all

891
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,440
the touring pros that people 
were after. 

892
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,120
Now they're following people 
that just want to have fun and 

893
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,920
play disc golf, which I think is
really cool. 

894
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,960
I'm having to the big thing I'm 
learning. 

895
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,600
I mean, I'm an old guy. 
I know that young guys aren't 

896
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,880
going to want to watch me to 
play them. 

897
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,280
You know, maybe I'll act a 
little goofy and stuff like that

898
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,760
and people find it funny, but 
you know, they're going to watch

899
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,240
you guys or J Millie or the the 
bonanza, because that's that's 

900
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:45,440
just how it works. 
But I like that there's still 

901
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,200
there still feels like a niche 
of the older guys that just want

902
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,480
to go play on the weekend. 
They want to throw a disc really

903
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,480
well. 
They don't care if they make the

904
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:55,800
tour. 
They don't care if they're 

905
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,280
winning at tournaments. 
They just want to go play and 

906
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,720
they want their discs to fly 
right when they throw. 

907
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:04,080
They don't want it to, you know,
dump left every time. 

908
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,800
And so I'm starting to learn to 
kind of lean into that more 

909
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,360
rather than being, oh, they're 
going to, you know, laugh at 

910
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,320
this big old guy trying to play 
some disc golf. 

911
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,840
So I'm excited about that, that 
there's different pockets within

912
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,280
disc golf that still make it 
worthwhile to get out there and 

913
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,200
and create content. 
And just this morning I was 

914
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:26,480
frustrated because I went to the
course that I had laid out in my

915
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,360
head. 
I'm doing stuff with the drift 

916
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,720
plastic. 
So I had a pond nearby and I had

917
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:33,240
a open field. 
And I get out there as I'm 

918
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,000
putting my gear out and getting 
things ready and I look up in 

919
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:42,760
three big trucks come in and 
it's got lawn mowers and weed 

920
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:46,480
eaters and everything. 
All these people jump out and 

921
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,600
they're they start doing their 
thing. 

922
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,680
I'm like, are you kidding me? 
So I'm thinking, OK, I've got 

923
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,400
this interview at 11:30. 
So I was like, I got time to go 

924
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,200
to this other course. 
So I went to this other course 

925
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,400
and I was frustrated and I set 
up and I had to pause and go, 

926
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,160
OK, wait. 
I'm literally outside doing my 

927
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,600
job. 
What I love doing, I'm here. 

928
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,360
It's not what I thought, but 
this course will work out just 

929
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,600
fine. 
And I get to do this. 

930
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,400
I get to throw disks and talk 
about them and I'm getting paid 

931
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,920
to do it. 
So there are time kind of to 

932
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,520
what you said as far as it feels
like work. 

933
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,880
But for me, there's times you, I
do have to kind of pause and 

934
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,320
say, you know, I could be stuck 
behind a desk typing away and 

935
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,400
never get outside, you know, you
know, so, so I'm excited to, to 

936
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,560
be back and be able to do that. 
That's, that's what has me 

937
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,080
excited. 
And then watching you guys, I, I

938
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,880
know it feels weird to say you 
guys, but like, in all honesty, 

939
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,200
what you guys, what, what I did 
back in the day, right, right. 

940
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,440
I was creating content and, and 
putting stuff out there. 

941
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,800
I got a job doing it. 
And you know, I, I know Jay 

942
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,840
Milly just announced that he's 
not going to do full time. 

943
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,920
And I'm like, this is fantastic 
that it's still an industry 

944
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,400
where people can actually make 
money doing it. 

945
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,600
And so that has me excited. 
Yeah. 

946
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,560
Yeah, I like what you'd like. 
Touchdown is like the because I 

947
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,880
had literally like almost the 
same experience yesterday. 

948
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,840
I waited out a leaf blower for 
like 10 minutes and it was just 

949
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,440
like you you get. 
To the all you hear. 

950
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:17,800
And you're like, but then I was 
like I said, I kind of had the 

951
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,960
same realization, though. 
It was like, it wasn't that nice

952
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,640
out actually. 
But I kind of just stood there 

953
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,440
and I was like, I'll just wait. 
I'm like, it's a nice fall day. 

954
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,280
Like, why am I like I got 
nowhere to be like whatever, you

955
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,760
know, I was like, this is. 
Fine, like it was, it was kind 

956
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,040
of comical because when I was at
the field, there's a huge, you 

957
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,520
know, obviously a huge 
lawnmower, guys riding it. 

958
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:40,880
And I was like, well, maybe I 
can wait him out. 

959
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,120
But then he starts going the 
wrong way and I'm like, he's 

960
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,000
just started crap. 
And then I went over to the pond

961
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,280
and I thought, well, I'll record
the little segment with the 

962
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,680
floating discs. 
So I grab my camera. 

963
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,520
I had to walk all the way from a
car, grab my camera, put it up. 

964
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,920
I get set up and all of a sudden
this guy walks around the corner

965
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,600
and starts weed eating the edge 
of the pond. 

966
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,880
I'm like, are you kidding me? 
So anyway, so yeah, that gets me

967
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,040
excited. 
So, so, so you already kind of 

968
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:06,440
did. 
But what I've been doing, asking

969
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,720
people that I interview, I say 
what's, what's a question that 

970
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:13,960
you maybe want to ask me about 
anything with dynamic disks or 

971
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,360
content creation, just to if 
you've ever thought about asking

972
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,480
somebody that that works in the 
industry a question, if you had 

973
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:22,960
a question for me, what would it
be? 

974
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:28,760
What's the like when you started
consuming like, like the new, 

975
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:33,400
this new wave of content, what 
are maybe like a few things that

976
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:39,080
stuck out that you saw that were
like major differences versus 

977
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,960
like all the channels that were 
kind of going, you know, 20 

978
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,080
teens, Sarah. 
That's a great question. 

979
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:52,440
You think The first thing that 
jumps in my mind is that even 

980
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,680
though there are still some 
tutorial style videos, I think 

981
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,880
back in the day, that was the 
big thing is that a lot of 

982
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,880
companies wanted to put 
tutorials out because when you 

983
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,320
first discovered disc golf and 
you Start learning it, it was 

984
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,880
like, and that was my objective.
If you started saying how to 

985
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,040
throw farther, how to do this, I
wanted you to discover a dynamic

986
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,840
discs of video. 
And then we had when we had 

987
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,720
Danny creating those, those 
videos, we were accomplishing 

988
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:17,960
that. 
I mean, he was pumping out some 

989
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:22,440
amazing instructional videos. 
And so, but now I notice it's 

990
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:29,880
just there's, there's more of a 
style 1st and then it's disc 

991
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,760
golf rather than it was like 
teach people about your disc, 

992
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,520
teach people how to throw the 
disc, you know, and then it was 

993
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,440
of course, tournament coverage, 
you know, watch this tournament,

994
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,960
watch your favorite players. 
But now it's like a style, you 

995
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,840
know, Jamie Lee has a style, 
Silas has a style, you have a 

996
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,920
style. 
So that was the biggest thing I 

997
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:52,920
noticed, which is exciting that 
the style of the content was the

998
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,400
top main theme. 
And then disc golf just happened

999
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,480
to be the background for that 
style. 

1000
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,960
Yeah. 
That's what that's interesting 

1001
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:03,320
you touch on that because that's
always been a thing from day 

1002
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,600
one. 
Is that like I, I almost want 

1003
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:11,120
like disc golf to be like 
secondary like you're watching 

1004
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:14,600
this to just hang out with me 
for 20 minutes and I just happen

1005
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,240
to be disc golfing, which you 
also probably really enjoy 

1006
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,000
because that's probably why you 
found this channel. 

1007
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,800
But like. 
That I could, I can, totally. 

1008
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,120
I've never had somebody else 
like. 

1009
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:25,840
Put it that way of like it's 
like. 

1010
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,960
You. 
Like to really be, I think, a 

1011
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,600
successful creator, you need 
people to like you and like want

1012
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,440
to watch. 
You and then whatever you're 

1013
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:39,040
doing cool and so it's good. 
Kind of good confirmation, I 

1014
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,160
guess to almost hear that like 
you recognize that. 

1015
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,040
Yeah, another way to put it is 
personality, right? 

1016
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,600
I think that was the thing we 
noticed back in the day was, you

1017
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,040
know, we didn't have all the 
top, top players, but people 

1018
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,600
love the personalities. 
They loved our person. 

1019
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,720
Some people hated me, some 
people liked me, some people 

1020
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,400
would like Eric, some people 
liked Robert McCall. 

1021
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,920
You know, so they were able to 
connect with the personality 

1022
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:03,480
they like. 
Yeah. 

1023
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,160
People. 
Yeah. 

1024
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,600
We were talking about comments 
before. 

1025
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,360
One that always makes me laugh 
is the one guy literally said 

1026
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,480
you're the worst thing that 
happened, the dynamic disks and 

1027
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,880
you should be fired. 
And was the comments on there. 

1028
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,160
I was like, oh, bro. 
So anyway, yeah, it was it's 

1029
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,720
it's it. 
That's the one I noticed big 

1030
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,040
time. 
It was more about the 

1031
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,480
personality. 
People connected with your 

1032
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,680
personality. 
And then the other connection 

1033
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,280
was we both like disc golf. 
I like disc golf. 

1034
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,520
You like disc golf. 
I watch you play disc golf, 

1035
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,840
which I think is great. 
Yeah, that also is definitely 

1036
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,120
like a direction like I've done 
like some videos in the past 

1037
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,760
where like there is no disc 
golf. 

1038
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,360
It's whether it's like a vlog or
or whatever. 

1039
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,720
And that is something that I 
want to like do more of because 

1040
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,280
I know in in the long run, it's 
like if you can broaden your 

1041
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,600
horizons and do more and not 
have to be at a disc golf 

1042
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,720
course, you know, every day of 
the week, like it's going to 

1043
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,880
create more. 
At least like for the creator, 

1044
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,880
you're able to kind of separate 
that one thing and do more and 

1045
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:10,360
have more people from maybe 
outside just that core disc golf

1046
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,040
audience become part of your 
audience. 

1047
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,080
And maybe they start playing 
disc golf because they're like, 

1048
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,680
wait, I saw this guy in a vlog, 
but he also plays. 

1049
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,040
Let me go try that or let me you
know. 

1050
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,840
So like there's, I think there's
a point in where you kind of do 

1051
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,960
maybe need to branch out because
disc golf is only so big. 

1052
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:32,960
And I think having that 
personality first is kind of 

1053
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,520
like you have to have that in 
order to. 

1054
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,280
Try and do that. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1055
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,920
All right, well, I appreciate 
your time, Roderick. 

1056
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,920
This is this is fun. 
It was good to get to know you. 

1057
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,120
And I, I agree with you. 
The content creators definitely 

1058
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:46,920
need to kind of even learn from 
each other. 

1059
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,600
Like, hey, I tried this. 
I thought it worked. 

1060
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,160
It was really cool. 
So I think I think when, like 

1061
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,800
you said, when a couple of you 
do good, everybody does good 

1062
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,880
because that just makes people 
want to watch more disc golf 

1063
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,200
content. 
So I appreciate that. 

1064
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,880
And just in case, if any of our 
followers, I'm sure they know 

1065
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,600
where to find you, but let us 
know where they can follow you 

1066
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,120
and find you online. 
Yeah, YouTube is just Broderick 

1067
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,120
has period at the end. 
If you type disc golf after it, 

1068
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,720
it'll definitely come up. 
I think it might might be might 

1069
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,880
come up now if you just type 
type my name in. 

1070
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:23,080
BRODERIC And then Instagram is 
under score, Broderick under 

1071
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,720
score. 
And I think that's all I have. 

1072
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,040
Is just this just Instagram and 
YouTube? 

1073
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,040
Nice. 
Yeah, Alright. 

1074
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:31,480
Well, again, I appreciate your 
time, man. 

1075
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:32,880
Yeah. 
Thank you.
