Onthebox's Podcast

Paul is, well, Paul.  Solid performance keeping him in it and then striking at the perfect time. (3:21) Hailey put up a great performance and then stood out of the way when Cat couldn't keep it in bounds at the end. (34:34) What on earth happened to the B pool and what can be learned from it? (56:39) BOB has a question about our smellers. (1:26:01)

Rick was in a form that should terrify his opponents and Paul's putt seems to be off. (2:10) Catrina looked absolutely unbeatable and Paige's dance with danger caught up to her. (32:10) The rule that I dislike the most reared it's head at least 3 times on camera and I'm tired of it.  I try to give some alternatives. (49:44) BOB is going to reference a movie you have likely seen and recommend a book you probably haven't read.(1:01:01)

I think I can say with no exaggeration that Rick is back.  This was one of the most complete performances in recent memory. (2:02) Paige couldn't get it going and Cat fell down in the 3rd round leaving the door open for the Hail Storm to blow in. (28:45) This was an NT and it felt no different than a DGPT event, in a good way.  Should we keep going this direction? (45:53) BOB has a moral quandary to bring up. (51:42)

The bEast was doing beastly things and I'll give you $100 if these were the two winners you picked going into the event. Let's look at what the course was up to in the MPO division (2:46), how Kona couldn't be troubled to compete with anyone in FPO (36:38) and what needs to be done about Nikko and his excessive time violations (54:21).  Lastly, BOB is gonna examine when the good guys don't win. (1:24:20)

Two great battles in a new format that both go down to the last hole? Yes, please.  KJ and Chris battle in MPO (2:26) while a 3-way fight between Cat, Paige and Hailey goes down in FPO (26:41).  The 2020 DGPT is officially completed, let's look at the good and bad of the year. (53:50) BOB is going to ask about your favorite one hit wonder.  No, not that kind, the other. (1:10:18)

Winthrop has always delivered great golf and amazing drama. 2020 has taken lots of things from us but it didn't take away those two things this weekend.  Chris came to play but Calvin wasn't just going to let him walk away. (1:29) Paige and Cat are the class of the FPO field but PPs arms are just a bit longer right now. (38:12) Hole 17 is great.  There I said it, fight me. (58:08) BOB has another civic admonition; get educated. (1:09:43) 

The Disc Side of Heaven is a wonderful course with some real challenge.  Well, challenging to folks not named McBeth or Heimburg.  Let's look at their incredible battle and how Calvin was able to tame the Beast. (2:02) Paige, again, made a course and the competition look small. This may be her most dominant win ever. (26:25) USDGC begins this week and it is special. (39:18) BOB is going to come to us all with a month long challenge. (53:45)

The big dogs fighting it out in both divisions at one of the best and most historic courses on tour? Yes, please.  Paul vs Rick (1:48) and Paige vs Sarah (30:55) with the winners having surprisingly similar tournaments. However, this wasn't without some discussion a couple of different times. (50:54) But BOB will come in and help us focus on what is worth our time. (1:05:04)

We had 2 great battles to match the two great courses at Smuggs.  Kevin held off the best of the best (1:37) and Paige held of the best 2nd place challenge of all time. (2:12) This wasn't without controversy, though. (43:15) BOB then shows up to tell you how to survive. (57:32)

Dominance is fun to watch sometimes.  Rick was never out of control over the course of 4 rounds on two completely different tracks. Let's look at the details. (1:39) Cat earned the right for a stroll in the park on Sunday. (24:02) Ledgestone was the final straw for Brodie and he is stepping away for a bit. (47:23) BOB has some great news from USA Today who has never been wrong on this topic. (1:01:30)

What a fantastic course.  How did everyone handle it? Eagle finished just ahead of some amazingly talented golfers.  What gave him the edge? (3:13) Ellen brought a new strategy to beating the ladies that have ruled the FPO world for the last decade. (31:21) Was it good golf to watch, though? (48:27) Lastly, BOB is going to give, if not educational, at least entertaining YouTube recommendations.(1:09:04)

What a finish!  A putt was in the air which could win the tournament or send us to a 3 way sudden death playoff.  (1:37) Paige was doing Paige things so the FPO side wasn't quite that exciting but there are some interesting things to look at. (35:01) Opinion time: not knowing the score on the last hole is foolish. (58:30) BOB wants to discuss some of our friends that have been missing lately. (1:12:37)

A beautiful, new property gave us an incredible finish in MPO (1:39) and an absolute blowout in FPO (33:29).  Let's look at how they each happened.  Then....we....will....discuss....the....topic....of....the....week....(49:46).  Lastly, BOB comes to the defense of a friend. (1:19:05)

Welcome back, friends.  Not much has changed.  Paul is great (1:07)  and Paige is unbelievably dominant. (36:33) DD and Jomez introduced a deal with CBSports for this event that is a major opportunity for disc golf. (37:20)  BOB has been doing some reading lately and wants to tell you about it. (59:16)

The Beast was there in all her glory and Paul was doing Paul things but, player 2 has entered the game. (1:38) Paige Pierce was there but was never in contention so the door was open for some new names and one of the rising European stars stepped through. (45:02) Disc golf is being affected in unprecedented ways and that is on display in the canceling and refunding policies of the GBO. (1:01:09) BOB wants to recommend some quarantine entertainment. (1:31:15)

Paul and Rick slayed the course last year.  Can they be expected to do the same? (2:36) For the last 2 years, 4 different ladies have had 2 incredible battles.  Should we look for one of them to lead the charge this year? (25:13) The feature card is being used to feature someone and the disc golf collective is losing their mind.  Let's discuss. (41:26) The BOB wants to relate an AirBNB story and get your opinion. (59:50)

Vegas was a good start to the season but our best players aren't in top form just yet.  Nate was able to win without doing anything the best. Cat was able to win by not making as many mistakes as Eveliina.  Will this set them up for Fountain Hills or will the dominators of the past take over. (52:12) Let's look at feature cards and who "deserves" to be there. (1:12:09) BOB wants to talk about the idea of cheating in sports.(1:24:15)

Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back.  Let's take a moment to look back before we look forward.  Lots of off season changes/moves that have a potential for a big impact need to be covered(4:25). The DGPT has also joined in with some big changes.  However, there are some questions that I still have (46:09).  Now, as for 2020, I think the races in MPO and FPO are getting closer with more challengers.  Let's take a look at those groups (1:12:35).  Lastly, Bob wants to tell you about a rabbit(1:42:54).

What a wild ride this year's Championship was.  The favorites, out.  The underdogs, in. Let's jump in.  Taking a look at the players (1:35) the course (46:25) and the coverage (1:17:28).  BOB will even give you something to do while you are listening that can, potentially, serve you for the rest of your life. (1:38:09)

Winthrop.  Possibly the most hallowed ground in our sport.  I love this place. Every year it does some changing, though.  Let's take a look at the good, the bad and the cheese themed. (6:07) Can anyone take down Paul? (34:32) The other big change this year is how you will be able to watch it.  Let's talk Pay-per-view. (59:52) And BOB shows us how much we are all alike, at least when it comes to quotable movies. (1:21:40)
