Welcome back to another episode of Caddie Tales Podcast! In this installment, Mark and Nick are braving the Wisconsin heatwave, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the course as the weather swings from bone-chilling cold to sweltering summer. They dive into the unpredictable challenges the elements bring to every loop, reflect on the art of caddying under pressure, and swap stories about handling tense situations with both players and fellow caddies.
The episode also takes a closer look at the recent Travelers Championship, focusing on Tommy Fleetwood's gut-wrenching near-victory and the raw emotion that comes with both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat—something every golfer, pro or amateur, can relate to. The guys discuss the delicate balance caddies must strike between offering guidance and respecting players’ instincts, how expectations set the tone for anyone’s round, and the team dynamic necessary for the best outcomes.
With plenty of real-life anecdotes, reflections on personal growth both on and off the course, and a dose of friendly banter, this episode is a true look at how golf’s hardest moments can yield some of its most meaningful lessons. Get ready for another round of wisdom, wit, and weather-related woes on Caddie Tales!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
