Onthebox's Podcast

MPO promised a great finish that never materialized.(2:07) FPO seemed like a victory lap late that turned into one of the best finishes we have had in a while. (27:14) We have to talk about Eveliina's putting; not for the purpose of bashing but rather the incredible contradiction between what could be and what is. (57:51) BOB wants to give you a great, and quite tasty, gift. (1:13:33)

What a battle in MPO.  4 Legitimate threats with 2 holes to go.  Let's see what Calvin had to do in order to raise the trophy.(1:49)  In FPO, Cat was doing Cat things and just out for a stroll on Sunday because of her work the 3 previous rounds.  Her all around dominance made that possible.(38:24) We now have entered the world of law suits in disc golf.  These are their stories.(1:03:21)  Lastly, BOB has a question about wisdom needed in raising kids. (1:33:17)

Worlds was everything we could have asked for.  Even after last years history setting final round, this year wasn't a disappointment.  Paul vs Goose.  Let's dive in.(3:00)  On the FPO side, Kristin was on a mission all year and she cleared the last hurdle this week in dominating fashion. What does this mean for her and all of the other chasers? (49:33) The PDGA is still in need of something to change and is evidenced by another thing from last week. (1:17:57) BOB is going to ask you something that may prove incredibly helpful to someone else, or even yourself. (1:33:52)

Paul and Eagle showed their superlative class and the Eagle clawed over the Beast at the end. (2:15) Paige overtook Eveliina on the last day and I didn't see any of it. (35:23) And then there's Nikko.  I'll discuss it but I don't think he is the biggest story right now. (43:17) Lastly, BOB will strum the strings of remembrance for most of you. (1:11:07)

Man, Brad looked good every day and on just about every throw.  How does he not win them all? (1:46) Paige was just being a big meanie out there. (37:53) BOB wants to ask about your "guys". (57:35)

Simon is back.  I'm so here for it. (2:49) Paige probably expected a nice Sunday stroll but ended up in a dog fight until the 2nd shot on 17. (21:45) It is no longer avoidable, let's have the discussion about transgender females in the FPO division.  A decision is before us between fairness and inclusion. The PDGA is attempting to have both and I don't see that as being possible. (48:30) BOB will come to cement some common ground after the previous segment. (2:02:45)

Rick's putting was back in form which means that he had very little trouble on Sunday.  However, there were several folks introducing their game, and crazy putts, to the world. (3:07) Kristen and Cat came down to the final hole and you would be excused for being surprised as neither were in the top 15 after day 1. (39:54) Let's talk about Jones Supreme; what the pros thought and why many did not fare well. (1:05:21) BOB is going to share a special recipe that will make you a favorite whenever you make it. (1:35:15)

One of the best finishes that we have seen in a while, and I don't just mean the last hole, but the entire round. 3 way tie with one to go.  Wow. (1:58) Kristin was not interested in this one being close at all.  (48:30) I've got an opinion about opinions.(1:02:33) BOB has a question about breakfasts and dinners and their interchangeability. (1:04:40)

After recording this one segment,  I lost my voice.  So, let's talk about the issue with Elaine. 

Riiiick! He played fantastic.  So did Calvin but somehow didn't win. (1:30) Paige's first round was the thing of legend.  Yet, she was still in a fight on the last hole. (43:16) Standardized baskets are a huge mountain to climb and I'll give you several reasons.(1:11:30) BOB wants to ask you about what you wish everyone else knew. (1:26:51)

Paul clocked in 3 days in a row and went to work. There were some folks hanging around, but nobody was threatening him. (2:00) Valerie went and took the trophy on the final round back 9.  It was a thing to behold and included one of the best pressure shots I've ever seen in FPO. (34:42) But something was revealed in FPO in round 1 that needs to be talked about. (1:03:30) Lastly, BOB has some views on animated movies that will, for sure, get some hackles raised. (1:18:29)

What a fantastic battle in both divisions.  The favorites didn't really play their role this tourney.  But Gannon and Drew went into OT where the savvy vet made a crucial decision that won him the event. (3:07) No matter what other stories are leading into an event, we always seem to find ourselves at the same spot; a Caige Match.  I'm here for it. (53:08) I'm starting to see a troubling trend about Paige but I'm on the fence.  Convince me one way or the other. (1:24:14) BOB is going to ask for the worst missing piece.  Can you help him? (1:39:46)

Nathan Queen.  What a story.  Let's look at and the other story lines that were just as surprising.(2:17) Missy basically got paid $30K to walk around Hornet's Nest on Sunday.  It's nice work if you can get it. (42:29) Let's talk about how long Gannon took, what the uproar was and the problems with moving forward. (1:00:59) Lastly, BOB wants to talk to you about Thanksgiving dinner, kind of. (1:21:42)

What a tournament.  Both MPO and FPO had all time great rounds by the winners as well as both of them taking down their first DGPT wins on a stressful 72nd hole. Chris was being chased by Ricky all day on Sunday (2:15). While Hailey had to come back against Sarah.(28:56) Next up is the Match Play Championships and I'll walk you through the brackets and pick my winners.(56:25) Lastly, BOB is going to present a top 10 list that was years in the making during my childhood. Where do you disagree with my rankings and why are you wrong. (1:14:49)

Eagle was flying high but there was a Raptor in the bushes eyeing him.  However, Adam came and shot them both. (2:01) Kona, Hailey and Paige were trying to get Cat but she decided to not fight and just go beat them all by at least 7. (34:54) I've got to get something off my chest about Steve Dodge. (55:26) Lastly, BOB is inviting you to survive. (1:03:28)

Iron Hill is a unique place that hosted some unique things.  Relative unknown Connor O'Reilly played 2 solid and 1 course record for his first big win. But there is something weird happening out there keeping the best from being the best. (2:54) Cat went out and did something amazing that turned the fight into a cake walk. (29:35) When I went to Columbia last week, I met someone.  Let's just say, a new player has entered the game. (47:21) BOB is going to offer a way to answer the question "Did we just become best friends?"(1:22:56)

The finish in MPO was definitely more wild than idle.  Wow.  A very real chance at a 6 way playoff with one hole to go.  Let's talk about how we got there and how it finished.(2:23)  The FPO finish was setting up to be great but in the end, Paige did what Paige does and lifted another tournament but this win could solidify some bad habits.(46:24) The PDGA is proposing some rules changes and I love some and don't understand others.(1:08:53)  Then BOB is gonna bring a song from the personal way-back to try to underline a point. (1:30:38)

Ummmmm.....wow.  There are so many things to say in regards to this tournament before even mentioning the greatest combined ending of any tournament ever.  Wow. James and Paul had a battle for the ages that I can't understand how Paul lost. (1:30) We had another classic Caige match that I can't understand how Cat won. (50:56) The story at the beginning of the week was about all of the problems that the tournament was having which somehow became worse when the PDGA president or the TD got involved. (1:22:06) Finally, BOB is going to present an unusual sitution at a restaurant to elicit your opinion. (1:58:20)

This episode is going to be a bit different.  The battles on the course were not though.  Here's all the recap you need; the 1050 boys were playing king of the hill until the last putt (1:46) and Paige and Cat were fighting each other and there was a race for 3rd happening somewhere behind them. (40:13) Rule breakers are under new scrutiny in MLB.  Can that give disc golf some hope? (41:35) BOB is calling those Hogs. (43:43)

The big dogs weren't a factor at DeLa but Adam had to earn it nonetheless. Let's look at how he was able to hold on and what it did to the chaser. (2:13) The FPO division also played.  I found it completely uninteresting.  Let me tell you why. (26:43) I walked a tournament round with a group of Intermediates last week.  Oh, boy, was it interesting. (41:46) Then BOB is gonna tell you about 3 movie characters that scared me in real life. (56:00)
