Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Party Podcast, a celebration of professional women's disco.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
With plenty of hot takes, fun stories, and fan questions.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I'm Hanna Macbeth, I'm Christine Jennings, I'm ConA Montgomery, and
we are the Party Podcast. We hit record because we
started to chit chat and I just hello, welcome to
the podcast. Anyways, because the Grilly pops we're wishing me
(00:32):
a happy Mother's Day, and I was about to tell
them how I'm doing, and then ConA was like, wait,
let's record, or Christine or something so great, it was great,
thank you. We are in Huntington Beach, California. This is
where Paul grew up, so we've been hanging out here
for a while and he'll go up to the Washington Tournament,
(00:53):
the Cascade Challenge. Pablo and I will stay down here
and get into more quality family time. But I went
to the beach. We watched surfers. The waves here are insane.
We live in Jacksonville Beach and there's a huge surf
community there. But the waves are just on the Atlantic
are just completely different than the Pacific. They're even like
(01:16):
measured differently, like the sleigh is different. Everything is just
it's really a little bit different. Yeah, and so it
might have. It might have also just been the day.
I mean, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to surfing stuff.
I got tacos because the food here is so good.
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh my tes are so good in Huntington, and the
weather is so good, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But there's a lot of things to not like about
it here, but I love coming here and visiting. I
don't think I could live here. But it was a
great day. What did you guys do? Did you celebrate
your moms?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I went to Columbus, where my brother lives, and we
all like gathered together and my parents played disc.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Golf for the We like went to this cute little
nine holer.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It was perfect because it's like almost no trees, like
two hundred foot holes.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I gave them like.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
DX one P fifty leopards. They were flying straight. They
were doing so good.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let's go. Wait a minute. Are you using your microphone
right now? I think so. Yeah. I know it's coming
through you. Yeah, but it's fine because my audio is
not good either, because I'm coming to you through Beats headphones,
so you muted.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Oh you're gone, Christine, Oh, it won't let me switch
Mike's while we're recording.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh yeah, I don't worry about it. It sounds fine.
I just know how you usually sound. And I was like,
wait a minute, So that's really sweet. Did she have fun?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
She like it?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
She was like they were all like laughing and laughing
at each other, and then we had dinner afterwards.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So yeah, that's really fun. What about you?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Cony jealous? Mama pee hung out. They've been trapped a lot,
so she needed some link downtime. So my mom hung out.
I got her some gifts and she opened them and
she just got done running. She wanted to run one
hundred mile race, but instead she did fifty miles and
this was after two weeks of traveling, and literally the
(03:17):
day she got back, she ran it.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So she was crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
She's great, she's walking around, she got did she got
foot surgery last year, and she's already done like fifty
mile races and stuff. So I don't know. My mom's
inspiring inspires me every day, So I'm very thankful that
she brought me into this world.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's so sweet. Yeah, it's all of our disc golf
moms out there, we love you, and dog moms.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It was Mother's Day for me, baby, it was dog mom.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I'm just kidding. No, I'm going to be so real
right now, and this might be a hot take, but
it's very similar because I remember when I had a
puppy and when I had a newborn. It's a lot.
So you soak up Mother's Day all you want. I'm
not one of those people that's like, it's not the same.
Like everyone knows it's not the same. Okay, good over yourself.
(04:11):
It's hard work to raise a dog. It's hard work
to take care of a dog. They can't tell you
ever what they need, no never, You have to guess
for their whole lives. Last week, we kind of took
the week off and I released an interview with Kristen,
which I kind of feel bad about because I feel
like I catfished the entire disc golf community into thinking
(04:35):
that she was going to talk about the drama that
because I was like our interview with Kristen. But we
did a great interview. She came and sat with me
in our airbnb. We didn't talk about anything on Mike
pertaining to the tournament because I feel like, that's kind
of dumb, but she opened up a lot and it
(04:55):
was just a really good episode. So I just want
to say thank you again to her for all of
her time and to all of you. I've received a
lot of messages from fans just saying that they really
liked that style of interview, so we're going to have
to keep it up. I just borrowed someone's recording equipment.
The guys from the Hot Pepper It's like Joey Simon
(05:16):
and Eagle, they do like the Hot Pepper podcast or something,
So they had their whole setup in my Airbnb and
I was like, I want to do my any interview.
So that really worked out. And now this week we
can recap Champions Cup and kind of give our thoughts
about some of the things that happened. So if you
guys are ready, I think we should get into it.
(05:36):
Champions Cup was hosted in Stockton, California this year. For
those of you that maybe have forgotten, it's originally supposed
to be in Georgia at the PDGA headquarters, but they
have since gone through controlled burns of all of those
forests to get rid of an invasi's invasive species of Beetle,
(05:58):
and so they're kind of re big from that, and
they're not sure. There hasn't been an announcement as to
like if it will return soon or what that timeline is,
so in the meantime they kind of just keep changing
the venue. And this was the first year that Champions
Cup would have been held on a golf course and
the number one obstacle wasn't the woods, So there was
(06:20):
mixed reviews about that, But I think the weekend went
really well. I feel obviously, Christine, you could probably give
more of an insight from the ops perspective, but as
a fan and as a follower, I thought it all
went really well.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So the Champions Cup was a PDJ major, so it's
actually a PDJA operations versus Disco roto operations. We did
have one guy that is local to California that works
on our staff. He ended up going over there to
help because they ended up leading a lot of rope
for spectators.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But outside of that, yeah, they have their own operations team.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
We have our own operations team, but they work pretty similar.
You know, you have the assets out there, you have rope,
you know, it's it's all kind of similar planning when.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It comes to that.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
But I think they did a good job. I mean,
there's we don't really like go to Our.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
DGN team goes there to cover the media side of it,
but again like our whole operations team doesn't go there.
So just seeing it happen on I was gonna say
on TV on DGN, it all looked pretty pretty smooth.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I wanted to chat a little about this because obviously
I was on site with Hannah, but what I noticed
was usually with DGPT when they set up OTV, probably
three to four days in advance, the putting areas set up,
the warm up areas are all set up. And what
I love about this course is that their warm up
areas are amazing. They are so great. We have like
(07:46):
two areas to throw in, whether that's like the driving
range or they had like another setup that was like
supposed to be for like a kid's course, but some
of the pros were using it to warm up. And
then they have a big area with like ten baskets
and then a smaller area closer to the actual first
tea that has like two or three where you just
(08:07):
warm up. It's not for practice. Also, like we get
to stay on site too, So if I wanted to
go throw and do field work, I walk out like
one hundred feet and I'm throwing discs, or I walk
out literally twenty feet and I'm putting. And I love
that about this event. And I even mentioned to them
as well. I thought the staff did such a great job.
(08:29):
I talked to Sean Jack and Andy, he's our first
tea coordinator guy. I have been at all seven of
Sean Jack's events the last seven years, so all the
way from San Francisco Open to this major, I have
played in all of his like ran events. So I
(08:49):
thought that was like really cool. They like thanked me
on whole one. They're like thank you, ConA, and I'm like,
I'm like, oh, so what and then they're like, oh,
you've been at all seven of our events, and so
that was really cool and real quick, can we talk
about the players pack. I'm sorry, this is one of
my favorite players packs. Like we as pros, we don't
get them anymore. So it's like when we do get something,
(09:13):
we're very nitpicky. And I would say that a lot
of people loved the bookt mm.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Hm, that's cute. Wait is that was there?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
What else was in the player pack it oh okay,
okay like a baggye or okay, but still, I mean,
did you PT doesn't do player packs?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I feel like PDGA majors usually do them. Or no,
maybe it's just worlds that I'm thinking of.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Worlds. They usually like, give you a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, CBC always has a crazy players pack. Yes, ConA.
Did you feel from a player's perspective that you were
like sick and so over the course after four days
because it was the same or did you like that
they interrupted it with the two layouts?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I think the two layouts split it up, but I
definitely think from a player I heard from both MPO
and FPO that it was a stress out trying to practice.
Like we'd all be in our golf carts and all
of a sudden we'd play one you know, hole or
one layout, and then all of a sudden we're like, oh, crap,
there's a teapad back there to a completely different hole,
(10:16):
and it just felt like, oh geez, really chaotic, and
some people would be in front of us, but then
they'd be like, oh, you can play through because we
didn't see that teapad, and it's just like chaotic. It
was just crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Did you guys also only have like a shortened timeline too, though.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, so we only had three days for this event,
coming from all the way from Nashville, so you know,
two day travel plus we'll be in a week off.
Wead a week off to get there and everything. But
then they also had the am weekend going, so you
couldn't even practice that weekend. So I remember a lot
of pros were a little upset about that as well.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
There was a lot Paul said he had we got
either Sunday, he couldn't really practice the course. I think
he did the front nine and then he had to
leave because daylight, and then the next day he got
through the front nine and did the back nine. That
was Monday. Tuesday was a Skins match, Wednesday was the
President's Cup, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was the event.
(11:15):
And so he felt the same way. He felt exactly
how you're saying, like it was just it was good,
but it was not enough time to prepare given the
fact that like the weekend before, there was something on it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, what is your guys' opinion about President's Cup, Like,
do you like it to be the day before a
major source like that, Or would you like prefer it
to be its own weekend?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Its own weekend.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It'd be so cool if they made a weekend of
it and like promote college.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yes, do like the same thing as college, like the
points and everything. Or do it during the collegiate nationals.
That would be so sick and it would like attract
more fans and then the pros would go like that
was a huge deal. When I went to college and
did collegiate nationals, there was always pros that would go
and bend and they would hang out and you got
to like network with them and meet them. That's how
(12:04):
I met Zoe and Dyke and she was like, you
should be a pro And I was like, Okay, what
does that mean? Like I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
My go to driver is a buzz ss and it's
not a driver. It's amazing, Like, but I should definitely
be a pro. But yeah, what did you guys say?
You thought? Sorry, I kind of took that over.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
You guys agreed. I didn't say an opinion. You guys
are basically like, yeah, it's on weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think the same thing, Like why not if you
could just try it, yeah, because my thing is the
US team wins every single year, but they but it's
always close at first, Like it's not like they're just like,
oh we win, it's been four holes. If you give
more opportunity, I think it would be closer. And also,
(12:56):
you sell these jerseys and you put all this effort
into it and you like and then it's kind of
just like for an afternoon and then people don't talk
about it again for like another year, but all of
the merge is sick. Yeah. I would like to see
it be a bigger thing. I think it would be fun.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, getting into Champions Cup feature card, we had Evelina, Kristin, Ella,
and Silva. I think it's fine that we say first names.
I'd never say the last names. Evelina was there, she
was the previous champion, Kristin was of course a previous champion.
Ella was the OTB sponsored pro, and Silva was the
MVP sponsored Pro because this year's Champions Cup was presented
(13:37):
by OTB and MVP. Kicking things off with the hot
round of the day was Hannah freaking win Her Roundoper
was the course record for like until Silva finished. But
we'll get into that A nine down. I loved, loved
her mindset. She's very calm, she's very just genuine. I
(14:00):
don't think she feels she has to like wear a
face or do you press. She's just herself and it
comes across so nice. She just said she's going to
just spend the rest of the week trying to do
what she did today in that first round, But she
doesn't have an expectation, And I just wanted to know,
how do you handle that? Because be so real, like
(14:22):
do you really not have an expectation? Like do you
really are you? I mean I.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Don't think you do.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Know when like she's never she's never let it led
a DGPT. How can she have expectations when she's never
been in that position before.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I just think, like, suddenly you're doing what you sent
out to do. It's all happening. This happened to you, Christine,
like this happened to both of you, but like this
also happened to you. Christine were like, I don't know,
we're at ddoh you just like it together and you
were like on the week, I just given events And
(15:08):
don't get me wrong, like no shade at all because
you're a really good disculfer, and Hannah Win is amazing.
But when you're in that position, it's like all paying
off and then they're interviewing you, and then there's a
camera and you're just like, Okay, this is like what
I want to do. This is what I want?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Is what they're working on?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, like what is that?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I feel like it's a good motivator. Like I felt
that way when you were talking about that exact time.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I think we were in Emporia. I feel like it
might have been the world.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Was it d it?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
No, it was when I was no, I want pulling
open as f a one, but when like I was
on a CD for that event. But anyways, when I
was like when I had the interview, like after I
finished the round and I was like, oh I was
tied for first with Page Peers, I was like, Okay,
this is strange.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
What am I doing here?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And you know, I think Hannah at this point is
like a higher level player than I was back then.
But I feel like back then my goal was like
to finish top ten, like that was like good for me, right,
I'm not like, oh, I'm gonna be the top.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Of the world, like I just kind of wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So when something like that happens, like in Hannah's situation,
I feel like you just kind of soak it in,
use it as experience, and then like use it as
motivation and be like oh cool, Like I liked that,
So let's just how can I keep doing that? How
do I want to get how can I get better
to you know, get more consistent like that? Then maybe,
you know, after you're in the on lead card a
(16:39):
have full of times, then I feel like you start
to get that mindset of okay, like let's win, you know,
do that makes sense?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, I feel like we're already seeing it too, because
what at Champions Cup she led, and she just played
Master's Cup this past weekend and she took second, So
it's like she got that motivation from Champions Cup. I
also feel like, you know, obviously everyone, if you're listening
right now, go check out We did a podcast interview
with Hannah during the off season. It was just me
(17:07):
and her kind of chatting back and forth about some things.
But if you want to learn a little bit more
about her, go check that out on the Party podcast.
But I just think it's crazy that I feel like
this off season she's just gained a lot of confidence
in a lot of aspects. I feel like I talked
to her and I just see the confidence in her.
So I feel like it just she just needed to
step into it, and I think we're seeing it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I always wonder because golf is not like when you
watch these other sports where it's like put your head
down and go swimming or running or I don't know anything.
It's not a put your head down and go sport
the whole time. There's a lot of time to think
and to consider, and I think the maturity is not
(17:51):
getting too far ahead of yourself and being very comfortable
with who you are, and if who you are is
on the lead card, that's amazing. And then if who
you are isn't on the lead cards, she's cool too,
Like she knows who she is. And I think that's
a huge I mean even for us, like off the course,
we're still learning who we are and you know, learning
(18:12):
how to be comfortable with who we are. So it's
just really it's really inspiring to see.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Silva opened her round with a ten down bogie free
at Swinson. It was calm, cool and collected. She showed
up in her lipstick combo and just blew us all
away and then went home. It was a ten thirty
six round opener, the FPO hot round. I just period
(18:41):
she did that. That takes us into round two. The
lead card with Silva, Hannah Win, Page Piers and Kristen Tuitar.
Paige Pearce's first appearance on a lead card at a
major since twenty twenty two. Did you see the little
like hat flare accessory that she had? Where did that
come from?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
A lot of people don't understand what this thing is.
So these Sarah Hocum has one as well, if you
pay attention, she has a few of them, and they
it's people they go to festivals, you know, like the
rave festivals or the EDM concerts or music festivals, and
a lot of people wear them. It's like an EDM
rave thing. So it's just like a fun thing for
(19:22):
those people to like express themselves. And page guards.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I was like, is someone making those? I was so confused.
I've never seen it, but it was all I could
think about.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's like candy, like candy at festivals, Like they make
these bracelets and they give them to people. It's like
It's like that, like people give them the people they
make them, and then they give them.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Oh okay, like friendship bracelets. Yeah, well, it was really
cool to see page. She did go on to shoot
the hot round with a couple of the other women,
Kristin and Missy. Did you guys notice anything specific from Paige.
I mean, it was just nice to see her make
it up to the lead card and have her on
(20:03):
coverage and to just see her putting it all together.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
From my opinion, I think this goes back to the
conversation you and I had in the parking lot, And
I'm glad that I remembered this because I was like
talking to you about Paige and you you said it.
You were like, man, crazy, how your life can come
together when you have like your whole family with you,
you know, because like a La and her dogs and
(20:26):
her cat are now in her are me with her,
and so it's like she doesn't have her attention back
in Florida and like on the course, like everybody's with
her now, so now she can just focus on playing.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Somebody said, in my house, in my airbnb, they just
think that there's something magical about this property. With her,
she always competes.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Well, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I'm like, she's like every time is the San Francisco Open,
OTV Open, like whatever, that Swinson Park golf course, she's
always popping off, and I feel like maybe she subconsciously
knows that.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Maybe she consciously knows that, and so when she plays
on that course, she just always kills it.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Round three, Silva built a three stroke lead after round two.
It all unfortunately fell apart in round three and on
that card with her was Kristin Missy and Page Missy.
During that round gained a three stroke lead on the
field and we kept the same lead card of those
four women. Silva fell off the last two days, and
(21:30):
I don't really want to fall into that whole thing
of like, oh, when is she gonna win? Like, but
it is kind of entertaining to speculate. We all know
it's inevitable. She's so talented. Her mistakes are just really
ustly and they come at the worst times. So I
guess my question is if you had to guess, like,
(21:52):
what's missing for her to win and take down this
big tournament in the States, because she's won a ton
of turn just nothing here on tour.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Do you guys, do you think you guys anything to
do with with attitude and maybe not attitude, maybe that's
the incorrect word to use. Do you think it has
anything to do with her being able to have short
term memory? Like do you think one hole she does
bad or gets upset, does something silly, and then the
next hole, Like sometimes like obviously she's stoic, but sometimes
(22:24):
I can see her kind of fuming, Like do you
think maybe she's not able to drop the frustrations enough
to bounce back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
That's kind of like the feeling that I was having, because,
like you said, because of her stoicism, it's very hard
to see emotions. You know, she's definitely not like expressing
anger or sadness or anything like that. But when you
start seeing mistakes happen like that, you start to wonder, Okay,
was that just like a fluke and she just made
bad decisions that like escalated into a bigger score and
(22:55):
then that just noballs Or is it because you were
like dwelling on something that just kind of caused you
to throw a bad t shot that then snowballs.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I don't know, it's hard. Yeah, I've had the opportunity
to observe her off the course as well as on it,
and it's consistent. I think her way of navigating the
world and just taking part in it is very observe
and deeply think and consider, and there's not really like, oh,
(23:26):
here's my reaction, here's my thoughts. She's going to really
consider before she reacts, and it's consistent with who she
is off the course, like from what I've been able
to see. But I will say, if I had to guess,
I think it's just that monkey on the back scenario
where all it takes is one and then it just waterfalls.
(23:47):
And it's kind of the sentiment that we hear on
the mic all the time during interviews is like your
biggest inner monologue is like I just have to close
it out and then I can just win and they
can get off my case. Or even if you don't
care about what people think, you can win one finally
(24:08):
and have that breakthrough moment. And maybe, I mean, she's
an incredible player. She's Kristin said it best in her interview.
She was like, Silva's got like twenty more years left.
She's like so young and she's so good, but yeah,
does she persevere through this tournament. If she wins Music City,
(24:28):
you know, does she have that? Oh I've got this,
Like that's fine. Like I'm frustrated. I messed up. Yeah,
it's coming down to it, but like I'm fine. Whereas
Missy and Kristin they have that history and they have
that recent history of like persevering and succeeding.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I agree, I definitely agree.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
The foot fault.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I started my notes for a round four and I
just launched my notes page again because I like closed it,
and I just opened it in all cabs and says
the foot.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Round four was crazy. Round four was a mess. Round
four that was Hailey Beaver at the met Gala. Did
she come on theme? Yes? Did she give us nothing?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yes? Like round so now I need to look this up.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
She wore the freaking met Gallas theme was like, I
don't remember the word for a word go.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Ahead, It's called We're fine tailoring black style.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yes, so you had to come in something that was
tailored specifically for you, but you would do so paying
tribute to like I don't know the words fashion designers.
Oh my gosh, my one brain cell just going over
them right now, just lack fashion designers and it was
(26:00):
such an incredible thing. And she showed up and like
a suit jacket dress with heels that she wears to
like every single event, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Like, she's giving I forgot my pants and I needed
to show up.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, it's just like she did everything right, like she
showed up on brand. But it's like she really started
the whole world on fire with that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
So funny, what a great analogy.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
He nailed it. I'm trying to qualify my analogy and
I'm just like struggling because in my own head, I'm like,
she did everything right, but she didn't do the right thing.
And like that's what happened with this PDJ Marshall, Like
they did everything right, but they just really didn't do
the right thing, and so we should talk about it.
(26:47):
But this crazy freaking footfall situation when it happened, I
was on full Pablo duty. We had gone to the
emergency room the night before because he had, uh it's
called nurse maid's elbow. And basically, like if you pick
little kids like toddlers up by their hands, which people
do all the time right to like help them get
(27:08):
up or whatever, like you don't always go for like
their shoulders someone was helping him up the stairs. We'd
been doing it all week, and his elbow dislocated because
it's not fully formed, so it can happen really fast.
So what you do is you just take them to
urgent care. You take them to your pediatrician. They fix
it and then goes back to normal and it's fine.
(27:29):
So we had taken him to the er nearby. I
was like a mile away, and they were unable to
adjust it, and it took like four and a half
hours of us sitting in a urgent care. And I
can just assure you that everything that you think would
happen to someone sitting in an urgent care in northern
California happened. It was insane. I walked in there and
(27:55):
a man was like, oh, I don't feel good. I'm
just not feeling well and I'm here with my little
toddler and I'm like, hi, I think he has nurse
maid's elbow. Can I just get someone to help me?
And they're like, oh, yeah, fill out this form and
then then the the on call nurse looks at the
guy and she goes, sir, I recognize you and you're back,
or she was like, you were here. Two days ago,
(28:17):
like I recognize you and you're back, and he's like yes, yes,
oh my pain and my pain, and he was just
trying to get pain bents because he's like and I
was like, I'm in a movie. And then there was
like a car accident that happened, so people were like
rushing into the r and it was crazy. We had
to wake up the next day and go to a
children's hospital in Sacramento. So at two thirty in the morning,
(28:40):
we got up and went to a children's hospital on
the final day of a major So that was fun.
Everything was fine, Praise Lord. But that being said, I
was not paying attention. So Paula texted me and was like,
did you just see the footfall call that they just
did on Kristen? And I was like no, So I
(29:00):
loaded it up and I believed that it was a
foot fall right away, like I was like, well, yeah, okay,
like that's a foot fall. But then as information came out,
I understood her perspective of being really upset. But what
what was you guys' reaction and where like where were
(29:23):
you in when you heard about it?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I forget where I was, but you guys had texted
me about it because I wasn't watching live, but I
immediately like went back and looked at it after you
guys told us and the chat.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
But it all like to me, I understand both sides.
I understand why the Marshall called it. I understand Kristen's frustration,
but like.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
The overall, like what I'm getting out of it is
people just need to do a better job of calling
each other on things, period, because from my perspective as
a marshall, you know, I'm an official for the DGPT
events and so our general philosophy is like hold until
(30:04):
the like to see if the card calls it whatever
it is. If it's time, it's usually time right time.
Or footballs are like the very easy ones that you
can call, but like if a player is consistently taking
like forty five seconds but the players aren't saying anything
and the players aren't complaining, then it's like I'm not
going to overstep my bounds.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
As a marshal to then call something.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's my take on it, But I think universally all
marshalls slash officials, I think, at least working for PDGA
slash GGPT like kind of need to get on the
same page of like when are we going.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
To step in?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And also then the players need to have an understanding
of okay, like you guys also need to make calls
as well, because that was a blame football but nobody.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Else called it.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
And the same similar situation happened in the NPO round.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I forget who it was, but I think it was Marwed.
He was up against the tree like on early Last
Holes and he stepped on his disc Nobody called it,
and so it's like, how inconsistent, right, Like for DGN,
you usually have a marshal following on Leader Chase card
and that's kind of to help make decisions on live
(31:10):
when you know, if the cardmates are kind of having
a discussion and you just like need help. Instead of
like calling the TD and like holding the broadcast up
for five minutes to figure something out, the idea is
to have a marshal there that can just like boom,
make a call.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
And so you have these marshals, and you had a
marshall on Christen's card, you had a marshal on Martite's card,
and you know, two totally different scenarios. So I think
my takeaway is we all just need to get on
the same page.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Of when and how we're going to call things, and
players need to be more consistent at calling things like that.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I agree because just like you said, like we we
complain that players don't do it, but then everyone's always like, well,
then there needs to be a marshal on every card.
But then when there's a marshal on the card who
calls it? Then people are like, oh my god, a
marshall called me, and but nobody else did. And it's like, like,
(32:00):
like you said, you need to get all the same page,
Like everybody's frustrated about something from different angles, but it's like, yo,
we just need to come together and follow the rules.
Because I agree. I thought it was a footfall, but
like you said, Hannah, like the posts where she explains everything,
like you can't be like, oh, I do think I
kind of saw it, but I don't think I kind
(32:21):
of saw it, Like you need to be like for sure,
I am a media. It is definitely a football. I
saw every single angle with both my eyes, you know
what I mean. Like it's just like you can't be like, oh, oh,
like this is final round. This is Kristin Datar, Queen
of disc golf like you need to be on your stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I think there was three takeaways. The first is that
you're never going to agree with an official all of
the time because they're a human being and you have
the technology that they don't. There are so many different
options of like history that you could choose from to
prove this point. You're never gonna agree all the time.
(33:01):
But the issue is people aren't really giving disc golf
the same energy as they do for other sports, because
like when you're watching the NFL, you see like face
masks and horse callers and like interference and all those
things not go called all of the time. People specifically
hate officials, like Paul watches UFC and he hates certain
(33:22):
like refs because they call people off too fast, or
they let it go too long, or they don't listen,
or like there's always going to be drama with the officials.
So I think people are so gatekeepy about Kristen specifically
because she's gone through so much in her career that
other people haven't or at least that hasn't been documented.
(33:44):
That they're also very gatekeeping with disc golf because for them,
this is like the untouchable hobby and sport that they
want to keep perfect because it's not like the MLB
and all those other like big money industry sports. The
other thing is that, yeah, christ said, like I did
mess up. I can see it, Like I'm fine admitting that.
(34:05):
Her issue, of course, is, like you said, with the
fact that she felt there was no way that he
could be one hundred percent certain that he saw her
feet and her hand with the disc at the same time.
So like she wants that second because she believes like
if you're in a scenario where you have a second,
then odds are like two people could have seen one
part in the other.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
But is that is that a fault in the in
the rule?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I think so, I think right. But I'm saying, like,
if Christine's throwing, it opens up more opportunity for more
people to say something. And that's the part about this
that I'm like, why didn't anyone else speak up? Because like,
if you know what I mean, like that's yeah. I
(34:53):
don't like yeah, because I'm.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Like that because then nobody else watching.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Because like sometimes you can't write like because you can
see her throw. But she was like, if you're on
a mound, like Marwed was like, you can't always see
the whole thing, or it's like they're in a bush
or something, so it's like flawed, as is everything right,
it's just all you have to be reasonable. And then
I think the third thing is I kind of forget
(35:32):
what but I just think, oh no, the third thing
was just affirming what you said about Yeah, we need officials,
and then we want them until we don't want them
and we want them to call things, but then we
don't want them to call things. And it's like it's
somebody in the comments. I think I screenshotted it, but
they said on Facebook under a post about it, this
will just be the person who's hated for the week,
and the next week everyone will forget.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I'm sure it was awkward and it was frustrating, and
i'd be interested to know her perspective if I don't know,
if anybody ever asked her about it, I would be
interested to know, like did that affect you and like
why did that affect Like were you just really angry
or were you just feeling like pinpointed because I felt
(36:15):
like a lot of the Europeans fans something I heard was, oh,
they he doesn't want Kristin to win, which I had
to correct in person multiple times because I was like,
they don't care if Kristin wins or not, just because
she's Estonian and Missy as American. And then people were
(36:39):
bringing up like sports betting. People really went deep on this.
They were like, oh, but they don't care. I can
promise you that, like if you're one of the people
who's like, well, they just did that because they don't
like Kristin and they don't want her to win. They
love her. She brought in a whole country of fans,
an entire country of PDGA numbers, like they they just
(37:00):
awarded Estonia as three majors, Like why why would they?
I don't know, it just doesn't make any sense. So
I just wanted to cancel that whole trade. Thought, Yeah,
it was a wild time. It was the first time
Missy really won. She won her second major. She had
won US Women's the year before, but she won this
(37:20):
major with BackFlash. I think mostly a lot of people
are very happy and joyous when she wins. She's kind
of kept being that rookie, and this was her big
win where she faced a lot of criticism. You know,
when you clicked on a post of her winning. All
of the comments were about Kristen or about the PDGI.
They weren't about her, so that, yeah, but it's part
(37:43):
of it. It's part of being at the top, for sure.
It's an experience that you got when you're at the top.
Page's final round was upsetting. I felt like she took
me back to twenty twenty one worlds. I don't know
what it is. I want your opinion on it. But
why is it that when she throws her up shots
in high stress moments, she's early releasing left and she's
(38:07):
going over. If someone just take her shoulders and just
put them to the right and then be like, go baby.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
She would be Hannah, you gotta go in those moments
like high pressure, you gotta like split her caddyout real quick.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
And be like, let me just it's so true.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
I'm from the future.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I know you're gonna do this.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
They're like tackling me into the pond. I'm like bit
game right.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It's funny you say that though it's a consistent miss.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Think maybe, like the first time it happened, it's just
kind of like a fluke or like nerves or something.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Okay, now, this has happened a second time, maybe it'd
actually like stick in her brain so then the next
time she's in that position, she'll remember to turn her
shoulders out a little bit.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
She blows me away though, because her approach shots are
so cool, because she literally aims like here's the basket,
it's on the ground, and then her disc will go
like one hundred feet over the basket and you're like, yi,
that's a really bad shot, and then it will just
drop and it's it's how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
You almost always like dead straight at it. Like the
way she throws that cover.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm like, oh no, she's gonna be in circle too,
and she's five feet from the basket and I'm like,
what is happening.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Called learning to throw putters? Baby?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Mm yeah, but she took me back.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I was like, page, please please, even with an eagle.
We heard her eagle across the course. Really.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Oh, Champions Cup, it was awarded to the People's champion.
What a year mistique in it is happening. Super happy
for her. She's such a good sport and she works
really hard. She just I don't know, I hate to
qualify it as like, oh, couldn't have happened to a
nicer person, but like she is just genuinely a good,
(39:59):
a good, a good competitor, and she's like someone who
can definitely handle the main comments because she has a
really good corner of friends backing her up. But this
is her second major. When Silva fell short, I really
thought she had it in the bag. But again, I think,
kind of what we said, she just maybe couldn't handle
(40:21):
the big moment, or maybe didn't get enough rest. I
don't know. There's so many different things that could happen,
So it feels weird to like say what it was
because unless we hear it from her, but I don't
think we will. Maybe someday we'll get a memoir, she'll
write a book and she'll just tell us all of
these stories, because her Instagram recaps are like, I took
(40:44):
fourth at Siampiez Cup. Thank you so much to all
my fans and sponsors. Give us a crumb, a crumb Silva, please. Well,
this week coming up, we have the Cascade Challenge in Washington.
Do either of you know anything about this tournament.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I used to be a Q Series, so we've played
on it the last few years, just like as a
smaller event. We have I think two or three new
holes on the course. They were able to talk to
the park service. Shout out Jeff Corns. He has a
big hand in this, might be the tournament director. So
they were able to cut through some more areas and
(41:26):
make some really big holes. So I'm kind of nervous
for that one. But the event itself is at Shelton Springs,
more wooded, shorter trap than some of the courses we've
been playing recently. So Dean Carey won this event last year.
She's not coming back to try and reclaim her title,
but I think we might see a different kind of
(41:49):
winner this week because it's more wooded, not so wide open,
and some of our people like Kenna and Elalina and
Kristen won't be there. I think Kenna's getting married.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
Without really yeah, I think they're getting married, and that's
why she's not you.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
I love her, go get her destroyer.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
It's amazing the way I want her to do like
a reader's digest vogue, like wedding. I just want to
know every detail about why.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
I just want to see a photo of her smiling
in her dress.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
I know, so beautiful. I did forget to mention this
happened you guys, and I know I talked to you
about it already, But like when kristin football thing happened,
I was on social media just kind of reading like
fan reactions we posted on our instagram too. I don't
feel like we really need to read them. They're pretty much.
(42:44):
I mean, you can go on her instagram and read
them for yourself, But on our Instagram, I posted Kristen's
post as our own post, like to show our community
and get like their thoughts and idio sports comments. It
was hold on, I need to find this one thing
(43:05):
you can control. Are the shoes on your feet? Wouldn't
have happened at all in the right gear. That's crazy.
Read the room who wrote that. I was like, I
almost commented in all caps and was like, girl read
the room, like, we are not trying to be sold
(43:27):
a product right now, Oh my gosh, suh that's hilarious.
And at first I thought it was like a meme
page because they're not verified, so I was like, oh,
this can't be the real thing, like I thought it
was just and it's really them. I could not, I
like the definition of can't even Oh we lost Coda,
(43:53):
we've only been recording for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (43:56):
Coda, did you meet yourself because the car alarm was
going off or maybe it's still.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Going on, she's or she might be lost.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
In my back. I was, oh, yes, frozen.
Speaker 6 (44:08):
That's so straight, Like your eyeballs were moving, so you
looked like you could hear us.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
You guys are still frozen. So I don't he just
keep talking and I'll just finished.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Of the episode.
Speaker 8 (44:18):
Okay, okay, So Christine, you have exciting news. You came
to us and you told us about this creator challenge
that's going on during Des Moines. Yes, yes, we are
stupid because we are participating in this creator Challenge and
(44:43):
we're the only girlies that are going and it's gonna
be us and we're just gonna be three party people
hanging out and trying to win this tournament against the
likes of like Gannon Burr, Simon Wis.
Speaker 6 (45:00):
So they came to us because they wanted like fpo
or like women involved. But it's a creator's challenge, so
like the idea is that there's a pro and then
there's a creator. Some of these creators might not even
be in the disc golf community.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
They might just be like YouTubers that are into disc
golf and that person might be out teams of the
assignment or whoever.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
And so they were like, we were having a hard time.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Like thinking of women, and so we're like, oh, the
party podcast we thought would be cool because ConA is
the pro and then like Hannah and I are like
quote the creators.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
So it's a I think it's going to be on live,
It'll be.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Uncoverage somehow, whether it's like post production or or live
that's at Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I have so many ideas for tiktoks that we're going
to make these people do. But also I think I'm
going to pull a cop put a call out to
like the FPO community to show up for us, because
if anything, we can get in their heads mentally, like
can we throw five hundred feet personally? No, ConA probably can,
(46:03):
but it's close. Can we take you down mentally and
insol your outfit from head to toe and question all
of yours? Absolutely? Like we can and we will.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
So I love this strategy.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Oh, before I got started, I just thought we could
all share what we do for our skincare routine because
some of the people in the group really need one.
I'm ready. I've never been more ready. That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (46:35):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Oh were you going to tee off first before women
in twenty twenty five? That's crazy? Oh dare you? Ooh
that's a choice. I mean, don't be wrong that. I'm fine.
But Paul when he heard about it, he was like, wait,
you guys are going to be a part of this.
And I was like yeah, and he goes, well, I've
been on the podcast. Why can't I play? It's girls only,
(47:06):
it's girly's only. Go wait, but yeah, so look for that.
The Creator Challenge happening soon. Make sure you root for us.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Please make sure.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
You spam the Party podcast and all of the comments.
That's all the little things. I had a story that
I was going to tell you guys, but I can
share it for the next time. I think that's it.
Brus here at the Party Podcast for this week. We
will be back together next week. I'll be back in
Florida and Conor will still be on tour. Mm hmm.
(47:39):
I'll leave you. I'll leave you on this coast.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
I'm sad.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
I know it's nice to be time zone buddies.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I know, maybe we have to deal with Christine, missus
east coachs.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Annoying.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Thank you guys for making time to record with me
right now.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
It's so weird. It's so weird being like, oh, it's
only ten thirty Christine, and you're like, my day is
half over, Like I only have the rest of the
afternoon in the evening, and I'm.
Speaker 7 (48:08):
Like, I'm the whole day, a whole day ahead of me.
Speaker 3 (48:11):

Welcome to the Party Podcast, a celebration of professional women's disco.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
With plenty of hot takes, fun stories, and fan questions.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I'm Hanna Macbeth, I'm Christine Jennings, I'm ConA Montgomery, and
we are the Party Podcast. We hit record because we
started to chit chat and I just hello, welcome to
the podcast. Anyways, because the Grilly pops we're wishing me
(00:32):
a happy Mother's Day, and I was about to tell
them how I'm doing, and then ConA was like, wait,
let's record, or Christine or something so great, it was great,
thank you. We are in Huntington Beach, California. This is
where Paul grew up, so we've been hanging out here
for a while and he'll go up to the Washington Tournament,
(00:53):
the Cascade Challenge. Pablo and I will stay down here
and get into more quality family time. But I went
to the beach. We watched surfers. The waves here are insane.
We live in Jacksonville Beach and there's a huge surf
community there. But the waves are just on the Atlantic
are just completely different than the Pacific. They're even like
(01:16):
measured differently, like the sleigh is different. Everything is just
it's really a little bit different. Yeah, and so it
might have. It might have also just been the day.
I mean, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to surfing stuff.
I got tacos because the food here is so good.
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh my tes are so good in Huntington, and the
weather is so good, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But there's a lot of things to not like about
it here, but I love coming here and visiting. I
don't think I could live here. But it was a
great day. What did you guys do? Did you celebrate
your moms?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I went to Columbus, where my brother lives, and we
all like gathered together and my parents played disc.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Golf for the We like went to this cute little
nine holer.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It was perfect because it's like almost no trees, like
two hundred foot holes.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I gave them like.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
DX one P fifty leopards. They were flying straight. They
were doing so good.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let's go. Wait a minute. Are you using your microphone
right now? I think so. Yeah. I know it's coming
through you. Yeah, but it's fine because my audio is
not good either, because I'm coming to you through Beats headphones,
so you muted.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Oh you're gone, Christine, Oh, it won't let me switch
Mike's while we're recording.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh yeah, I don't worry about it. It sounds fine.
I just know how you usually sound. And I was like,
wait a minute, So that's really sweet. Did she have fun?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
She like it?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
She was like they were all like laughing and laughing
at each other, and then we had dinner afterwards.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So yeah, that's really fun. What about you?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Cony jealous? Mama pee hung out. They've been trapped a lot,
so she needed some link downtime. So my mom hung out.
I got her some gifts and she opened them and
she just got done running. She wanted to run one
hundred mile race, but instead she did fifty miles and
this was after two weeks of traveling, and literally the
(03:17):
day she got back, she ran it.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So she was crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
She's great, she's walking around, she got did she got
foot surgery last year, and she's already done like fifty
mile races and stuff. So I don't know. My mom's
inspiring inspires me every day, So I'm very thankful that
she brought me into this world.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's so sweet. Yeah, it's all of our disc golf
moms out there, we love you, and dog moms.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It was Mother's Day for me, baby, it was dog mom.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I'm just kidding. No, I'm going to be so real
right now, and this might be a hot take, but
it's very similar because I remember when I had a
puppy and when I had a newborn. It's a lot.
So you soak up Mother's Day all you want. I'm
not one of those people that's like, it's not the same.
Like everyone knows it's not the same. Okay, good over yourself.
(04:11):
It's hard work to raise a dog. It's hard work
to take care of a dog. They can't tell you
ever what they need, no never, You have to guess
for their whole lives. Last week, we kind of took
the week off and I released an interview with Kristen,
which I kind of feel bad about because I feel
like I catfished the entire disc golf community into thinking
(04:35):
that she was going to talk about the drama that
because I was like our interview with Kristen. But we
did a great interview. She came and sat with me
in our airbnb. We didn't talk about anything on Mike
pertaining to the tournament because I feel like, that's kind
of dumb, but she opened up a lot and it
(04:55):
was just a really good episode. So I just want
to say thank you again to her for all of
her time and to all of you. I've received a
lot of messages from fans just saying that they really
liked that style of interview, so we're going to have
to keep it up. I just borrowed someone's recording equipment.
The guys from the Hot Pepper It's like Joey Simon
(05:16):
and Eagle, they do like the Hot Pepper podcast or something,
So they had their whole setup in my Airbnb and
I was like, I want to do my any interview.
So that really worked out. And now this week we
can recap Champions Cup and kind of give our thoughts
about some of the things that happened. So if you
guys are ready, I think we should get into it.
(05:36):
Champions Cup was hosted in Stockton, California this year. For
those of you that maybe have forgotten, it's originally supposed
to be in Georgia at the PDGA headquarters, but they
have since gone through controlled burns of all of those
forests to get rid of an invasi's invasive species of Beetle,
(05:58):
and so they're kind of re big from that, and
they're not sure. There hasn't been an announcement as to
like if it will return soon or what that timeline is,
so in the meantime they kind of just keep changing
the venue. And this was the first year that Champions
Cup would have been held on a golf course and
the number one obstacle wasn't the woods, So there was
(06:20):
mixed reviews about that, But I think the weekend went
really well. I feel obviously, Christine, you could probably give
more of an insight from the ops perspective, but as
a fan and as a follower, I thought it all
went really well.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So the Champions Cup was a PDJ major, so it's
actually a PDJA operations versus Disco roto operations. We did
have one guy that is local to California that works
on our staff. He ended up going over there to
help because they ended up leading a lot of rope
for spectators.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But outside of that, yeah, they have their own operations team.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
We have our own operations team, but they work pretty similar.
You know, you have the assets out there, you have rope,
you know, it's it's all kind of similar planning when.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It comes to that.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
But I think they did a good job. I mean,
there's we don't really like go to Our.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
DGN team goes there to cover the media side of it,
but again like our whole operations team doesn't go there.
So just seeing it happen on I was gonna say
on TV on DGN, it all looked pretty pretty smooth.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I wanted to chat a little about this because obviously
I was on site with Hannah, but what I noticed
was usually with DGPT when they set up OTV, probably
three to four days in advance, the putting areas set up,
the warm up areas are all set up. And what
I love about this course is that their warm up
areas are amazing. They are so great. We have like
(07:46):
two areas to throw in, whether that's like the driving
range or they had like another setup that was like
supposed to be for like a kid's course, but some
of the pros were using it to warm up. And
then they have a big area with like ten baskets
and then a smaller area closer to the actual first
tea that has like two or three where you just
(08:07):
warm up. It's not for practice. Also, like we get
to stay on site too, So if I wanted to
go throw and do field work, I walk out like
one hundred feet and I'm throwing discs, or I walk
out literally twenty feet and I'm putting. And I love
that about this event. And I even mentioned to them
as well. I thought the staff did such a great job.
(08:29):
I talked to Sean Jack and Andy, he's our first
tea coordinator guy. I have been at all seven of
Sean Jack's events the last seven years, so all the
way from San Francisco Open to this major, I have
played in all of his like ran events. So I
(08:49):
thought that was like really cool. They like thanked me
on whole one. They're like thank you, ConA, and I'm like,
I'm like, oh, so what and then they're like, oh,
you've been at all seven of our events, and so
that was really cool and real quick, can we talk
about the players pack. I'm sorry, this is one of
my favorite players packs. Like we as pros, we don't
get them anymore. So it's like when we do get something,
(09:13):
we're very nitpicky. And I would say that a lot
of people loved the bookt mm.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Hm, that's cute. Wait is that was there?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
What else was in the player pack it oh okay,
okay like a baggye or okay, but still, I mean,
did you PT doesn't do player packs?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I feel like PDGA majors usually do them. Or no,
maybe it's just worlds that I'm thinking of.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Worlds. They usually like, give you a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, CBC always has a crazy players pack. Yes, ConA.
Did you feel from a player's perspective that you were
like sick and so over the course after four days
because it was the same or did you like that
they interrupted it with the two layouts?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I think the two layouts split it up, but I
definitely think from a player I heard from both MPO
and FPO that it was a stress out trying to practice.
Like we'd all be in our golf carts and all
of a sudden we'd play one you know, hole or
one layout, and then all of a sudden we're like, oh, crap,
there's a teapad back there to a completely different hole,
(10:16):
and it just felt like, oh geez, really chaotic, and
some people would be in front of us, but then
they'd be like, oh, you can play through because we
didn't see that teapad, and it's just like chaotic. It
was just crazy.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Did you guys also only have like a shortened timeline too, though.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, so we only had three days for this event,
coming from all the way from Nashville, so you know,
two day travel plus we'll be in a week off.
Wead a week off to get there and everything. But
then they also had the am weekend going, so you
couldn't even practice that weekend. So I remember a lot
of pros were a little upset about that as well.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
There was a lot Paul said he had we got
either Sunday, he couldn't really practice the course. I think
he did the front nine and then he had to
leave because daylight, and then the next day he got
through the front nine and did the back nine. That
was Monday. Tuesday was a Skins match, Wednesday was the
President's Cup, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was the event.
(11:15):
And so he felt the same way. He felt exactly
how you're saying, like it was just it was good,
but it was not enough time to prepare given the
fact that like the weekend before, there was something on it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, what is your guys' opinion about President's Cup, Like,
do you like it to be the day before a
major source like that, Or would you like prefer it
to be its own weekend?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Its own weekend.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It'd be so cool if they made a weekend of
it and like promote college.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yes, do like the same thing as college, like the
points and everything. Or do it during the collegiate nationals.
That would be so sick and it would like attract
more fans and then the pros would go like that
was a huge deal. When I went to college and
did collegiate nationals, there was always pros that would go
and bend and they would hang out and you got
to like network with them and meet them. That's how
(12:04):
I met Zoe and Dyke and she was like, you
should be a pro And I was like, Okay, what
does that mean? Like I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
My go to driver is a buzz ss and it's
not a driver. It's amazing, Like, but I should definitely
be a pro. But yeah, what did you guys say?
You thought? Sorry, I kind of took that over.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
You guys agreed. I didn't say an opinion. You guys
are basically like, yeah, it's on weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think the same thing, Like why not if you
could just try it, yeah, because my thing is the
US team wins every single year, but they but it's
always close at first, Like it's not like they're just like,
oh we win, it's been four holes. If you give
more opportunity, I think it would be closer. And also,
(12:56):
you sell these jerseys and you put all this effort
into it and you like and then it's kind of
just like for an afternoon and then people don't talk
about it again for like another year, but all of
the merge is sick. Yeah. I would like to see
it be a bigger thing. I think it would be fun.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, getting into Champions Cup feature card, we had Evelina, Kristin, Ella,
and Silva. I think it's fine that we say first names.
I'd never say the last names. Evelina was there, she
was the previous champion, Kristin was of course a previous champion.
Ella was the OTB sponsored pro, and Silva was the
MVP sponsored Pro because this year's Champions Cup was presented
(13:37):
by OTB and MVP. Kicking things off with the hot
round of the day was Hannah freaking win Her Roundoper
was the course record for like until Silva finished. But
we'll get into that A nine down. I loved, loved
her mindset. She's very calm, she's very just genuine. I
(14:00):
don't think she feels she has to like wear a
face or do you press. She's just herself and it
comes across so nice. She just said she's going to
just spend the rest of the week trying to do
what she did today in that first round, But she
doesn't have an expectation, And I just wanted to know,
how do you handle that? Because be so real, like
(14:22):
do you really not have an expectation? Like do you
really are you? I mean I.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Don't think you do.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Know when like she's never she's never let it led
a DGPT. How can she have expectations when she's never
been in that position before.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I just think, like, suddenly you're doing what you sent
out to do. It's all happening. This happened to you, Christine,
like this happened to both of you, but like this
also happened to you. Christine were like, I don't know,
we're at ddoh you just like it together and you
were like on the week, I just given events And
(15:08):
don't get me wrong, like no shade at all because
you're a really good disculfer, and Hannah Win is amazing.
But when you're in that position, it's like all paying
off and then they're interviewing you, and then there's a
camera and you're just like, Okay, this is like what
I want to do. This is what I want?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Is what they're working on?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, like what is that?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I feel like it's a good motivator. Like I felt
that way when you were talking about that exact time.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I think we were in Emporia. I feel like it
might have been the world.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Was it d it?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (15:39):
No, it was when I was no, I want pulling
open as f a one, but when like I was
on a CD for that event. But anyways, when I
was like when I had the interview, like after I
finished the round and I was like, oh I was
tied for first with Page Peers, I was like, Okay,
this is strange.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
What am I doing here?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And you know, I think Hannah at this point is
like a higher level player than I was back then.
But I feel like back then my goal was like
to finish top ten, like that was like good for me, right,
I'm not like, oh, I'm gonna be the top.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Of the world, like I just kind of wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So when something like that happens, like in Hannah's situation,
I feel like you just kind of soak it in,
use it as experience, and then like use it as
motivation and be like oh cool, Like I liked that,
So let's just how can I keep doing that? How
do I want to get how can I get better
to you know, get more consistent like that? Then maybe,
you know, after you're in the on lead card a
(16:39):
have full of times, then I feel like you start
to get that mindset of okay, like let's win, you know,
do that makes sense?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Well, I feel like we're already seeing it too, because
what at Champions Cup she led, and she just played
Master's Cup this past weekend and she took second, So
it's like she got that motivation from Champions Cup. I
also feel like, you know, obviously everyone, if you're listening
right now, go check out We did a podcast interview
with Hannah during the off season. It was just me
(17:07):
and her kind of chatting back and forth about some things.
But if you want to learn a little bit more
about her, go check that out on the Party podcast.
But I just think it's crazy that I feel like
this off season she's just gained a lot of confidence
in a lot of aspects. I feel like I talked
to her and I just see the confidence in her.
So I feel like it just she just needed to
step into it, and I think we're seeing it.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I always wonder because golf is not like when you
watch these other sports where it's like put your head
down and go swimming or running or I don't know anything.
It's not a put your head down and go sport
the whole time. There's a lot of time to think
and to consider, and I think the maturity is not
(17:51):
getting too far ahead of yourself and being very comfortable
with who you are, and if who you are is
on the lead card, that's amazing. And then if who
you are isn't on the lead cards, she's cool too,
Like she knows who she is. And I think that's
a huge I mean even for us, like off the course,
we're still learning who we are and you know, learning
(18:12):
how to be comfortable with who we are. So it's
just really it's really inspiring to see.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Silva opened her round with a ten down bogie free
at Swinson. It was calm, cool and collected. She showed
up in her lipstick combo and just blew us all
away and then went home. It was a ten thirty
six round opener, the FPO hot round. I just period
(18:41):
she did that. That takes us into round two. The
lead card with Silva, Hannah Win, Page Piers and Kristen Tuitar.
Paige Pearce's first appearance on a lead card at a
major since twenty twenty two. Did you see the little
like hat flare accessory that she had? Where did that
come from?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
A lot of people don't understand what this thing is.
So these Sarah Hocum has one as well, if you
pay attention, she has a few of them, and they
it's people they go to festivals, you know, like the
rave festivals or the EDM concerts or music festivals, and
a lot of people wear them. It's like an EDM
rave thing. So it's just like a fun thing for
(19:22):
those people to like express themselves. And page guards.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I was like, is someone making those? I was so confused.
I've never seen it, but it was all I could
think about.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's like candy, like candy at festivals, Like they make
these bracelets and they give them to people. It's like
It's like that, like people give them the people they
make them, and then they give them.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Oh okay, like friendship bracelets. Yeah, well, it was really
cool to see page. She did go on to shoot
the hot round with a couple of the other women,
Kristin and Missy. Did you guys notice anything specific from Paige.
I mean, it was just nice to see her make
it up to the lead card and have her on
(20:03):
coverage and to just see her putting it all together.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
From my opinion, I think this goes back to the
conversation you and I had in the parking lot, And
I'm glad that I remembered this because I was like
talking to you about Paige and you you said it.
You were like, man, crazy, how your life can come
together when you have like your whole family with you,
you know, because like a La and her dogs and
(20:26):
her cat are now in her are me with her,
and so it's like she doesn't have her attention back
in Florida and like on the course, like everybody's with
her now, so now she can just focus on playing.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Somebody said, in my house, in my airbnb, they just
think that there's something magical about this property. With her,
she always competes.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Well, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I'm like, she's like every time is the San Francisco Open,
OTV Open, like whatever, that Swinson Park golf course, she's
always popping off, and I feel like maybe she subconsciously
knows that.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Maybe she consciously knows that, and so when she plays
on that course, she just always kills it.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Round three, Silva built a three stroke lead after round two.
It all unfortunately fell apart in round three and on
that card with her was Kristin Missy and Page Missy.
During that round gained a three stroke lead on the
field and we kept the same lead card of those
four women. Silva fell off the last two days, and
(21:30):
I don't really want to fall into that whole thing
of like, oh, when is she gonna win? Like, but
it is kind of entertaining to speculate. We all know
it's inevitable. She's so talented. Her mistakes are just really
ustly and they come at the worst times. So I
guess my question is if you had to guess, like,
(21:52):
what's missing for her to win and take down this
big tournament in the States, because she's won a ton
of turn just nothing here on tour.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Do you guys, do you think you guys anything to
do with with attitude and maybe not attitude, maybe that's
the incorrect word to use. Do you think it has
anything to do with her being able to have short
term memory? Like do you think one hole she does
bad or gets upset, does something silly, and then the
next hole, Like sometimes like obviously she's stoic, but sometimes
(22:24):
I can see her kind of fuming, Like do you
think maybe she's not able to drop the frustrations enough
to bounce back.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
That's kind of like the feeling that I was having, because,
like you said, because of her stoicism, it's very hard
to see emotions. You know, she's definitely not like expressing
anger or sadness or anything like that. But when you
start seeing mistakes happen like that, you start to wonder, Okay,
was that just like a fluke and she just made
bad decisions that like escalated into a bigger score and
(22:55):
then that just noballs Or is it because you were
like dwelling on something that just kind of caused you
to throw a bad t shot that then snowballs.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I don't know, it's hard. Yeah, I've had the opportunity
to observe her off the course as well as on it,
and it's consistent. I think her way of navigating the
world and just taking part in it is very observe
and deeply think and consider, and there's not really like, oh,
(23:26):
here's my reaction, here's my thoughts. She's going to really
consider before she reacts, and it's consistent with who she
is off the course, like from what I've been able
to see. But I will say, if I had to guess,
I think it's just that monkey on the back scenario
where all it takes is one and then it just waterfalls.
(23:47):
And it's kind of the sentiment that we hear on
the mic all the time during interviews is like your
biggest inner monologue is like I just have to close
it out and then I can just win and they
can get off my case. Or even if you don't
care about what people think, you can win one finally
(24:08):
and have that breakthrough moment. And maybe, I mean, she's
an incredible player. She's Kristin said it best in her interview.
She was like, Silva's got like twenty more years left.
She's like so young and she's so good, but yeah,
does she persevere through this tournament. If she wins Music City,
(24:28):
you know, does she have that? Oh I've got this,
Like that's fine. Like I'm frustrated. I messed up. Yeah,
it's coming down to it, but like I'm fine. Whereas
Missy and Kristin they have that history and they have
that recent history of like persevering and succeeding.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I agree, I definitely agree.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
The foot fault.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
I started my notes for a round four and I
just launched my notes page again because I like closed it,
and I just opened it in all cabs and says
the foot.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Round four was crazy. Round four was a mess. Round
four that was Hailey Beaver at the met Gala. Did
she come on theme? Yes? Did she give us nothing?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yes? Like round so now I need to look this up.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
She wore the freaking met Gallas theme was like, I
don't remember the word for a word go.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Ahead, It's called We're fine tailoring black style.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yes, so you had to come in something that was
tailored specifically for you, but you would do so paying
tribute to like I don't know the words fashion designers.
Oh my gosh, my one brain cell just going over
them right now, just lack fashion designers and it was
(26:00):
such an incredible thing. And she showed up and like
a suit jacket dress with heels that she wears to
like every single event, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Like, she's giving I forgot my pants and I needed
to show up.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, it's just like she did everything right, like she
showed up on brand. But it's like she really started
the whole world on fire with that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
So funny, what a great analogy.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
He nailed it. I'm trying to qualify my analogy and
I'm just like struggling because in my own head, I'm like,
she did everything right, but she didn't do the right thing.
And like that's what happened with this PDJ Marshall, Like
they did everything right, but they just really didn't do
the right thing, and so we should talk about it.
(26:47):
But this crazy freaking footfall situation when it happened, I
was on full Pablo duty. We had gone to the
emergency room the night before because he had, uh it's
called nurse maid's elbow. And basically, like if you pick
little kids like toddlers up by their hands, which people
do all the time right to like help them get
(27:08):
up or whatever, like you don't always go for like
their shoulders someone was helping him up the stairs. We'd
been doing it all week, and his elbow dislocated because
it's not fully formed, so it can happen really fast.
So what you do is you just take them to
urgent care. You take them to your pediatrician. They fix
it and then goes back to normal and it's fine.
(27:29):
So we had taken him to the er nearby. I
was like a mile away, and they were unable to
adjust it, and it took like four and a half
hours of us sitting in a urgent care. And I
can just assure you that everything that you think would
happen to someone sitting in an urgent care in northern
California happened. It was insane. I walked in there and
(27:55):
a man was like, oh, I don't feel good. I'm
just not feeling well and I'm here with my little
toddler and I'm like, hi, I think he has nurse
maid's elbow. Can I just get someone to help me?
And they're like, oh, yeah, fill out this form and
then then the the on call nurse looks at the
guy and she goes, sir, I recognize you and you're back,
or she was like, you were here. Two days ago,
(28:17):
like I recognize you and you're back, and he's like yes, yes,
oh my pain and my pain, and he was just
trying to get pain bents because he's like and I
was like, I'm in a movie. And then there was
like a car accident that happened, so people were like
rushing into the r and it was crazy. We had
to wake up the next day and go to a
children's hospital in Sacramento. So at two thirty in the morning,
(28:40):
we got up and went to a children's hospital on
the final day of a major So that was fun.
Everything was fine, Praise Lord. But that being said, I
was not paying attention. So Paula texted me and was like,
did you just see the footfall call that they just
did on Kristen? And I was like no, So I
(29:00):
loaded it up and I believed that it was a
foot fall right away, like I was like, well, yeah, okay,
like that's a foot fall. But then as information came out,
I understood her perspective of being really upset. But what
what was you guys' reaction and where like where were
(29:23):
you in when you heard about it?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I forget where I was, but you guys had texted
me about it because I wasn't watching live, but I
immediately like went back and looked at it after you
guys told us and the chat.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
But it all like to me, I understand both sides.
I understand why the Marshall called it. I understand Kristen's frustration,
but like.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
The overall, like what I'm getting out of it is
people just need to do a better job of calling
each other on things, period, because from my perspective as
a marshall, you know, I'm an official for the DGPT
events and so our general philosophy is like hold until
(30:04):
the like to see if the card calls it whatever
it is. If it's time, it's usually time right time.
Or footballs are like the very easy ones that you
can call, but like if a player is consistently taking
like forty five seconds but the players aren't saying anything
and the players aren't complaining, then it's like I'm not
going to overstep my bounds.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
As a marshal to then call something.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's my take on it, But I think universally all
marshalls slash officials, I think, at least working for PDGA
slash GGPT like kind of need to get on the
same page of like when are we going.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
To step in?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And also then the players need to have an understanding
of okay, like you guys also need to make calls
as well, because that was a blame football but nobody.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Else called it.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
And the same similar situation happened in the NPO round.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I forget who it was, but I think it was Marwed.
He was up against the tree like on early Last
Holes and he stepped on his disc Nobody called it,
and so it's like, how inconsistent, right, Like for DGN,
you usually have a marshal following on Leader Chase card
and that's kind of to help make decisions on live
(31:10):
when you know, if the cardmates are kind of having
a discussion and you just like need help. Instead of
like calling the TD and like holding the broadcast up
for five minutes to figure something out, the idea is
to have a marshal there that can just like boom,
make a call.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
And so you have these marshals, and you had a
marshall on Christen's card, you had a marshal on Martite's card,
and you know, two totally different scenarios. So I think
my takeaway is we all just need to get on
the same page.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Of when and how we're going to call things, and
players need to be more consistent at calling things like that.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I agree because just like you said, like we we
complain that players don't do it, but then everyone's always like, well,
then there needs to be a marshal on every card.
But then when there's a marshal on the card who
calls it? Then people are like, oh my god, a
marshall called me, and but nobody else did. And it's like, like,
(32:00):
like you said, you need to get all the same page,
Like everybody's frustrated about something from different angles, but it's like, yo,
we just need to come together and follow the rules.
Because I agree. I thought it was a footfall, but
like you said, Hannah, like the posts where she explains everything,
like you can't be like, oh, I do think I
kind of saw it, but I don't think I kind
(32:21):
of saw it, Like you need to be like for sure,
I am a media. It is definitely a football. I
saw every single angle with both my eyes, you know
what I mean. Like it's just like you can't be like, oh, oh,
like this is final round. This is Kristin Datar, Queen
of disc golf like you need to be on your stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I think there was three takeaways. The first is that
you're never going to agree with an official all of
the time because they're a human being and you have
the technology that they don't. There are so many different
options of like history that you could choose from to
prove this point. You're never gonna agree all the time.
(33:01):
But the issue is people aren't really giving disc golf
the same energy as they do for other sports, because
like when you're watching the NFL, you see like face
masks and horse callers and like interference and all those
things not go called all of the time. People specifically
hate officials, like Paul watches UFC and he hates certain
(33:22):
like refs because they call people off too fast, or
they let it go too long, or they don't listen,
or like there's always going to be drama with the officials.
So I think people are so gatekeepy about Kristen specifically
because she's gone through so much in her career that
other people haven't or at least that hasn't been documented.
(33:44):
That they're also very gatekeeping with disc golf because for them,
this is like the untouchable hobby and sport that they
want to keep perfect because it's not like the MLB
and all those other like big money industry sports. The
other thing is that, yeah, christ said, like I did
mess up. I can see it, Like I'm fine admitting that.
(34:05):
Her issue, of course, is, like you said, with the
fact that she felt there was no way that he
could be one hundred percent certain that he saw her
feet and her hand with the disc at the same time.
So like she wants that second because she believes like
if you're in a scenario where you have a second,
then odds are like two people could have seen one
part in the other.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
But is that is that a fault in the in
the rule?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I think so, I think right. But I'm saying, like,
if Christine's throwing, it opens up more opportunity for more
people to say something. And that's the part about this
that I'm like, why didn't anyone else speak up? Because like,
if you know what I mean, like that's yeah. I
(34:53):
don't like yeah, because I'm.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Like that because then nobody else watching.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Because like sometimes you can't write like because you can
see her throw. But she was like, if you're on
a mound, like Marwed was like, you can't always see
the whole thing, or it's like they're in a bush
or something, so it's like flawed, as is everything right,
it's just all you have to be reasonable. And then
I think the third thing is I kind of forget
(35:32):
what but I just think, oh no, the third thing
was just affirming what you said about Yeah, we need officials,
and then we want them until we don't want them
and we want them to call things, but then we
don't want them to call things. And it's like it's
somebody in the comments. I think I screenshotted it, but
they said on Facebook under a post about it, this
will just be the person who's hated for the week,
and the next week everyone will forget.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I'm sure it was awkward and it was frustrating, and
i'd be interested to know her perspective if I don't know,
if anybody ever asked her about it, I would be
interested to know, like did that affect you and like
why did that affect Like were you just really angry
or were you just feeling like pinpointed because I felt
(36:15):
like a lot of the Europeans fans something I heard was, oh,
they he doesn't want Kristin to win, which I had
to correct in person multiple times because I was like,
they don't care if Kristin wins or not, just because
she's Estonian and Missy as American. And then people were
(36:39):
bringing up like sports betting. People really went deep on this.
They were like, oh, but they don't care. I can
promise you that, like if you're one of the people
who's like, well, they just did that because they don't
like Kristin and they don't want her to win. They
love her. She brought in a whole country of fans,
an entire country of PDGA numbers, like they they just
(37:00):
awarded Estonia as three majors, Like why why would they?
I don't know, it just doesn't make any sense. So
I just wanted to cancel that whole trade. Thought, Yeah,
it was a wild time. It was the first time
Missy really won. She won her second major. She had
won US Women's the year before, but she won this
(37:20):
major with BackFlash. I think mostly a lot of people
are very happy and joyous when she wins. She's kind
of kept being that rookie, and this was her big
win where she faced a lot of criticism. You know,
when you clicked on a post of her winning. All
of the comments were about Kristen or about the PDGI.
They weren't about her, so that, yeah, but it's part
(37:43):
of it. It's part of being at the top, for sure.
It's an experience that you got when you're at the top.
Page's final round was upsetting. I felt like she took
me back to twenty twenty one worlds. I don't know
what it is. I want your opinion on it. But
why is it that when she throws her up shots
in high stress moments, she's early releasing left and she's
(38:07):
going over. If someone just take her shoulders and just
put them to the right and then be like, go baby.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
She would be Hannah, you gotta go in those moments
like high pressure, you gotta like split her caddyout real quick.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
And be like, let me just it's so true.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
I'm from the future.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I know you're gonna do this.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
They're like tackling me into the pond. I'm like bit
game right.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
It's funny you say that though it's a consistent miss.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Think maybe, like the first time it happened, it's just
kind of like a fluke or like nerves or something.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Okay, now, this has happened a second time, maybe it'd
actually like stick in her brain so then the next
time she's in that position, she'll remember to turn her
shoulders out a little bit.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
She blows me away though, because her approach shots are
so cool, because she literally aims like here's the basket,
it's on the ground, and then her disc will go
like one hundred feet over the basket and you're like, yi,
that's a really bad shot, and then it will just
drop and it's it's how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
You almost always like dead straight at it. Like the
way she throws that cover.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm like, oh no, she's gonna be in circle too,
and she's five feet from the basket and I'm like,
what is happening.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Called learning to throw putters? Baby?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Mm yeah, but she took me back.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I was like, page, please please, even with an eagle.
We heard her eagle across the course. Really.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Oh, Champions Cup, it was awarded to the People's champion.
What a year mistique in it is happening. Super happy
for her. She's such a good sport and she works
really hard. She just I don't know, I hate to
qualify it as like, oh, couldn't have happened to a
nicer person, but like she is just genuinely a good,
(39:59):
a good, a good competitor, and she's like someone who
can definitely handle the main comments because she has a
really good corner of friends backing her up. But this
is her second major. When Silva fell short, I really
thought she had it in the bag. But again, I think,
kind of what we said, she just maybe couldn't handle
(40:21):
the big moment, or maybe didn't get enough rest. I
don't know. There's so many different things that could happen,
So it feels weird to like say what it was
because unless we hear it from her, but I don't
think we will. Maybe someday we'll get a memoir, she'll
write a book and she'll just tell us all of
these stories, because her Instagram recaps are like, I took
(40:44):
fourth at Siampiez Cup. Thank you so much to all
my fans and sponsors. Give us a crumb, a crumb Silva, please. Well,
this week coming up, we have the Cascade Challenge in Washington.
Do either of you know anything about this tournament.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I used to be a Q Series, so we've played
on it the last few years, just like as a
smaller event. We have I think two or three new
holes on the course. They were able to talk to
the park service. Shout out Jeff Corns. He has a
big hand in this, might be the tournament director. So
they were able to cut through some more areas and
(41:26):
make some really big holes. So I'm kind of nervous
for that one. But the event itself is at Shelton Springs,
more wooded, shorter trap than some of the courses we've
been playing recently. So Dean Carey won this event last year.
She's not coming back to try and reclaim her title,
but I think we might see a different kind of
(41:49):
winner this week because it's more wooded, not so wide open,
and some of our people like Kenna and Elalina and
Kristen won't be there. I think Kenna's getting married.
Speaker 7 (42:01):
Without really yeah, I think they're getting married, and that's
why she's not you.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
I love her, go get her destroyer.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
It's amazing the way I want her to do like
a reader's digest vogue, like wedding. I just want to
know every detail about why.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
I just want to see a photo of her smiling
in her dress.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
I know, so beautiful. I did forget to mention this
happened you guys, and I know I talked to you
about it already, But like when kristin football thing happened,
I was on social media just kind of reading like
fan reactions we posted on our instagram too. I don't
feel like we really need to read them. They're pretty much.
(42:44):
I mean, you can go on her instagram and read
them for yourself, But on our Instagram, I posted Kristen's
post as our own post, like to show our community
and get like their thoughts and idio sports comments. It
was hold on, I need to find this one thing
(43:05):
you can control. Are the shoes on your feet? Wouldn't
have happened at all in the right gear. That's crazy.
Read the room who wrote that. I was like, I
almost commented in all caps and was like, girl read
the room, like, we are not trying to be sold
(43:27):
a product right now, Oh my gosh, suh that's hilarious.
And at first I thought it was like a meme
page because they're not verified, so I was like, oh,
this can't be the real thing, like I thought it
was just and it's really them. I could not, I
like the definition of can't even Oh we lost Coda,
(43:53):
we've only been recording for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (43:56):
Coda, did you meet yourself because the car alarm was
going off or maybe it's still.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
Going on, she's or she might be lost.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
In my back. I was, oh, yes, frozen.
Speaker 6 (44:08):
That's so straight, Like your eyeballs were moving, so you
looked like you could hear us.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
You guys are still frozen. So I don't he just
keep talking and I'll just finished.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Of the episode.
Speaker 8 (44:18):
Okay, okay, So Christine, you have exciting news. You came
to us and you told us about this creator challenge
that's going on during Des Moines. Yes, yes, we are
stupid because we are participating in this creator Challenge and
(44:43):
we're the only girlies that are going and it's gonna
be us and we're just gonna be three party people
hanging out and trying to win this tournament against the
likes of like Gannon Burr, Simon Wis.
Speaker 6 (45:00):
So they came to us because they wanted like fpo
or like women involved. But it's a creator's challenge, so
like the idea is that there's a pro and then
there's a creator. Some of these creators might not even
be in the disc golf community.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
They might just be like YouTubers that are into disc
golf and that person might be out teams of the
assignment or whoever.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
And so they were like, we were having a hard time.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Like thinking of women, and so we're like, oh, the
party podcast we thought would be cool because ConA is
the pro and then like Hannah and I are like
quote the creators.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
So it's a I think it's going to be on live,
It'll be.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
Uncoverage somehow, whether it's like post production or or live
that's at Des Moines.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
I have so many ideas for tiktoks that we're going
to make these people do. But also I think I'm
going to pull a cop put a call out to
like the FPO community to show up for us, because
if anything, we can get in their heads mentally, like
can we throw five hundred feet personally? No, ConA probably can,
(46:03):
but it's close. Can we take you down mentally and
insol your outfit from head to toe and question all
of yours? Absolutely? Like we can and we will.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
So I love this strategy.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Oh, before I got started, I just thought we could
all share what we do for our skincare routine because
some of the people in the group really need one.
I'm ready. I've never been more ready. That's amazing.
Speaker 4 (46:35):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Oh were you going to tee off first before women
in twenty twenty five? That's crazy? Oh dare you? Ooh
that's a choice. I mean, don't be wrong that. I'm fine.
But Paul when he heard about it, he was like, wait,
you guys are going to be a part of this.
And I was like yeah, and he goes, well, I've
been on the podcast. Why can't I play? It's girls only,
(47:06):
it's girly's only. Go wait, but yeah, so look for that.
The Creator Challenge happening soon. Make sure you root for us.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Please make sure.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
You spam the Party podcast and all of the comments.
That's all the little things. I had a story that
I was going to tell you guys, but I can
share it for the next time. I think that's it.
Brus here at the Party Podcast for this week. We
will be back together next week. I'll be back in
Florida and Conor will still be on tour. Mm hmm.
(47:39):
I'll leave you. I'll leave you on this coast.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
I'm sad.
Speaker 3 (47:44):
I know it's nice to be time zone buddies.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I know, maybe we have to deal with Christine, missus
east coachs.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Annoying.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Thank you guys for making time to record with me
right now.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
It's so weird. It's so weird being like, oh, it's
only ten thirty Christine, and you're like, my day is
half over, Like I only have the rest of the
afternoon in the evening, and I'm.
Speaker 7 (48:08):
Like, I'm the whole day, a whole day ahead of me.
