Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Party Podcast, a.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Celebration of professional women's.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Disco with plenty of hot takes, fun stories, and fan questions.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm Handa Macbeth, I'm Christine Jennings.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I'm ConA Montgomery and we are.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
At the Party podcast. Wow wow wait yeah I can
hear it, girl, I can hear it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Why doesn't your AirPods connect because they're dead?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I them in my ear and it went.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Where's your husband? Where's your boyfriend's AirPods?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah? How many AirPods do you have?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
He doesn't have air pods?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Dude. We have so many freaking different kinds of headphones
because Paul will buy the I bought these for him
and white for Christmas, never brings them on any trips
because he forgets so at the airport, he bought these
and pinks because he thought that I would like them.
He was right. And then we have like two basic
air pods, and then I have air pods that I
bought for me a while ago, and there I use
(00:58):
all of them. And he literally we went on this trip.
We got on the plane and he turns to me
and goes, hey, do you know where my beats are? Like, yeah,
they're in the junk drawer at home, Like, what do
you mean he never packs the headphones. And remember when
Beats used to have those big over the year headphones
when I met him when we were dating, those were
like the thing. He has three pairs of them for
(01:21):
the same reason because he would have like one in
the RV with Nate, and then he would bring one
on a trip and then he would constantly forget. He
has like four pairs of those skull candy headphones. It's
a mess.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Needs to sell them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I know those are the ones to pay to rent
a table at a tournament at like USCGC. And it's
just gonna be yard sale items that people are done
with for the year. Because you can't tell me that
some of these guys don't have like jerseys and shorts
and pants that they just will never wear ever again,
that they would sell for like ten dollars. So good,
(01:58):
it's crazy. Yeah, And no, what it would be is
it would be headphones, shoes, umbrellas, so many umbrellas half
used to like hand lotions. Oh this is pretty good.
What is up? Party people? Welcome back to the podcast.
I miss saying that I know we have like a
(02:19):
cool pre recorded intro now, but I do miss saying
me too.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Last week we were talking about Champions Cup and I
wanted to tell a story and it has to do
with this steak night that we got invited to at
our airbnb.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I stayed at an Airbnb with a bunch of people,
one being Joey Tomlly. He's like the biggest social butterfly
of all time on tour and knows everybody, friends with everybody,
and he works for MVP, so he's very close with
Simon and Simon's on tour now with like a camera
guy from us from New Jersey, and they stayed in
(02:54):
our airbnb. It was great well because we were there,
we got invited to a steak night that I guess
Matt Schleybach hosts every once in a while, and it's
kind of like one of those if you know someone
you can come situations like they don't care who comes,
but like it's not an open invitation where they just
like post it on Facebook. It's more so if you
(03:15):
go up to Matt and they're like, hey, are you
doing any stake nights? Soon I saw that he'll be like, oh, dude,
you're totally from but he's not gonna like send out
an invite, That's what I'm saying, because there's like forty people.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, they also have a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They had like a little thing where you could, I think,
type in if you were going to go or not,
Like I don't know if it's like a Facebook group
or what. I don't know. The only reason we got
invited is because we were staying there. But yeah, so
we went and I did an interview with Kristin Tatar. Now,
since having a baby, Kristin and I have unlocked a
(03:51):
new level of our friendship where we just understand each
other a lot more as moms. So I can say
things to her like, hey, I know the podcasts is
over and there's a huge party downstairs. Do you just
want to stay up here? She's like, my social battery
does not last as long as it once did. And
(04:11):
so I went downstairs and the party was loud. The
owner of the airbnb actually came because he was a discolfer,
which we were super grateful for because on the Airbnb website,
like on the page for the for the listing, it
says like in all caps, no party, like it says
it in multiple texts all like when you open the
(04:35):
little pamphlet for the house, it's like absolutely no parties,
no gatherings, nothing like unless preapproved, and like even then
it's like not going to happen. So here we come
with this giant party with like forty people. I go
over to Raven Klein and her boyfriend and a couple
other people like he was like Raven Newsome and a
(04:56):
couple other pros and they're very like goofy and so
am I. So I'm just like we're like running bits
and we're like doing like these funny things and it's
a great time. And I'm like, oh, this is my corner.
And then they left, so I was like no. Cherson
and Silver left and I was like no. And then
I walk outside and Nate and val Doss are outside
and Ian Anderson is outside. I'm like, all right, my
(05:19):
like talent, Like what is up people? So I go
out and I'm just like talking and I realized that
I'm just kind of making small talk, talking to them
about the podcast that I just did and some of
the things that got brought up because I think it's interesting.
Then I realized that no one's really going off of
anything that I'm saying. They're all just like they're not
(05:40):
being rude at all. Those are not rude people, but
they're just kind of like that's cool, okay, Like yeah, man,
good for you.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And I was like, okay, and you go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
A normal person would say, oh, I think I have
to go to the bathroom, and they would leave and
go back upstairs and go to bed and just be like,
you know what, we'll try again next time. Instead, I
start panicking and I start looking around my surroundings trying
to figure out what I could talk about. And I
see across because the houses are so close together in
(06:14):
this little neighborhood, I see someone pull down the shades
of their house to look at what we're all doing
because it's inside outside, and then they flip them back
up really fast, and I was like, did you guys
just see that? So then I explain what I just saw,
and I am once again not really getting a lot
of energy. You like, help help Paul, I hear people, right, Yeah,
(06:38):
so I'm probably gonna go to bed, but like, it
was so good to see you guys. And I was like, oh,
so I go back inside the house. I just wanted
you to know I've been in discolf for a long time.
I know a lot of people. I didn't recognize a
single person in that house because it was all MVP people.
It was all the OTV people, and I haven't met
(07:00):
any of them because I have really only met like
the end of a Family, Dyscomania, Discraft. You know, I
don't know like a lot of the other brands because
I've just never been in rooms with them. And the
thing is, this is after having over an hour conversation
with Kristen, and it's really loud, just like my batteries out,
like go home, that's good, is happening. And I was
(07:23):
thinking about this, but do you remember like back in
the day at parties like this that was like you
were buttoned up and you were networking like you had
to be.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You're like, hi, am cod to Montgomery, how's it going.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It was so interesting to be in that position again
where I didn't have to do that. I don't know
how to explain it, because it's hard to explain being
Paul's wife. It's very much when you come into a
room of people, like people have preconceived notions of you
and who you are and who your husband is and
I feel like for the past eight or nine years
(08:00):
of my life, I couldn't walk into those parties and
just be like who like hand of Macbeth. I had
to kind of be like what they needed me to be,
and it was It's a lot of hearing people out.
It's a lot of when you do let your guard down,
people come to you and suddenly you're hearing a ten
minute speech that they wish they were telling your husband.
(08:22):
And it's this this position I just like found myself
in mixed with meeting people. You would suddenly be at
a dinner and you're in front of a sponsor and
the sponsor is considering getting into disc golf, and you're like,
I'm at this interaction your impression of like what disc
golf is. So suddenly I'm out of like that and
(08:42):
I'm in this party and I'm like, who am I?
What are you going on? So I'd be like my
small talk card got revoked, mixed with like I had,
like my identity crisis. You're finding your identity. Yeah, but
it's like a little bit weird because it doesn't sound
very humble to talk about it. In my opinion, it's
(09:03):
like not really something that people ever talk about it
and nobody gets to really experience all that you do. Yeah,
it's I feel like safe talking to our community about
it because I feel like they give me the benefit
of the doubt a lot. But like it really was
like that a lot. You're not running bits in the
corner with like a couple of disc golfers and you're
like no, I look like wait, yeah yeah, but yeah.
(09:24):
I just remember Kristin and I were walking down the
stairs and it was just getting louder and louder, and
I just remember being like, do I go just like backupstairs.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Start backing up?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
You were talking about how you didn't know anybody at
that party, and I went out to go play discolf
for the first time on Sunday, and I felt the
same way, like I don't know, four years ago, when
I was playing disc golf all the time, I knew everybody.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I went back ont of the course and like
there's usually, you.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Know, like a gaggle of people hanging out at I say,
you know, the course that I go, I always has
like a gaggle of people.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Hanging out and it's like my home crew. They were
there and they're always like, right, by whole one.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
And so they're like, oh hey, so you know, like
you say hi, but then like you start going through
the course and I'm playing by myself, so a lot
of people just let me play through, and so like
as I'm like playing through.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I know no one. I probably played through almost ten groups.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Like I was like huffing and puffing through that course
because people kept saying like, oh, you can go through,
and I was only throwing one shot because I was
just like going out for fun.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm not like trying to go practice or anything like that.
And so I'm like, oh, wow, like I don't know
any of you. This is wild.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Wow, But it's cool thought so because it's like, you know,
a lot of them like looked very recreational, you know,
meaning that they're probably new.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
A lot of them were younger. You know, there's like
college high school kids out there. So yeah, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah. We just played a Huntington Beach and uh, it's
a lot different when you have Pablo with you than
when you don't. We went there this morning and tried
to play, but it didn't work out. So we just
were like, well leave and come back in the afternoon
because we were recording a video, and when we came
in the afternoon, you could tell it was the people
who probably have the day off, and they were just
like way more casual. But in the beginning it was
(11:12):
like people who were there for the workout, like they're there,
they're like on a schedule, because it was pretty early
in the morning, and like the afternooners are like half
of them are shirt list. They've got like the best
arms I've ever seen. Like they're just throwing like four
hundred feet and I'm like, oh, they're carrying.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
This nice arm too.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They have the best arms. I'm like, Okay, this is
just what I need work on, guys, I just need
work on right, No, I meant they're throwing ability. You
know you're married. Oh man, Oh my god, that's funny.
(11:58):
Well man Anyway, but yeah, Paul knows all the locals there.
But every time there's like tons of new people and
they're all comfortable just being recreational. I feel like the
sport is healing. Like that's kind of how it was. So.
(12:25):
Cascade Challenge was in Washington. It was the Washington's first
ever disculp pro tour event a couple of years ago,
and it was a silver series in twenty twenty three.
Last year in twenty twenty four, it was a Q
Series qualifier, and now this year it is part of
the Elite Series. It's played on the Shelton Springs Course,
about ninety miles from Seattle according to the SCALF Pro
(12:47):
Tour website, and it boasts a diverse layout, offering pros
the perfect stage to display their skills and creative gameplay.
That's another way of saying, she's really tight and wooded, like, oh,
you want to play here? Cool, So you're gonna be
able to display all of your skills and your creativity
because this is a lot of what's like, oh great.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
For me personally, and hearing from some of the pros
around the course, they actually really enjoyed this. It was
a nice change of pace compared to Swinson because Swinson
was just wide open ball golf. We're throwing as hard
as we possibly can and just wide open. You can
like have a mistake and still be safe. Where here
at Shelton, you know, definitely having to like disk down
on some shots, Like I threw lots of mid ranges
(13:30):
and like seven and nine speeds. I think I barely
touched my twelve speeds except for like some of the
open holes, which there's like two or three of those,
so you know, coming for myself, wonderful piece of property.
Not much elevation, lots of just different angle control shots.
And then there were some new holes added this year
(13:51):
Jeff Corn's he was the TD for this year and
I think the last few years, and he added a
few new holes that I think we'll talk, we'll go into,
you know, maybe a little bit into the podcast, but
I think they still need some changing. But overall, I
love the court.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Round one feature card was Missy Gannon, Ella Hanson, Hall
and Hanley and Cat Merch. Missy Gannon so she's a
discraft player. She represents Beacon, New York, and she's currently
second in tour points, which surprised me, behind holl And Hanley.
I looked back at her page and she had kind
of a slow start to the season, like nothing too crazy,
(14:28):
but for her, a couple of fourteenth places, like just
nothing close to what her abilities are, especially with her
winning recently, she's been in contention for the win a
few times but unable to close until Champions Cup, and
that's a really good one to close out. And then
she kept the ball rolling with the win here at
(14:49):
Cascade at a completely different venue, you see is definitely
someone with the well rounded game. The second was Ella Hanson.
She's a Discomania player representing Seattle, Washington and currently fifth
in tour points, fifteen points behind Kristin lot who. If
you're wondering why Kristen isn't first with all of her success,
it's because she hasn't been in every single event, and
(15:12):
I don't know how that will shape out at the end,
but she will definitely be in contention because some of
these will drop and she'll play enough events. So just
keep holding on for the Kristen fans and for everyone else,
it's very exciting. Ella kicked off the twenty twenty five
touring season with a nail bedding win over Bestie holl
(15:32):
And Hanley at the Supreme Flight Open, and then she
podiumed at this year's Kansas City Wide Open. I am
really surprised not to see her on the future card,
but just like I guess a little bit surprised with
her performance here. She's coming out of Seattle, so she
is competing from home, and I just wanted to ask
(15:55):
you guys for a little insight on what it's like
to compete close to home, where you're kind of dang
in a familiar spot, whether you're staying at home or
not versus far away, and then maybe like a bit
of like the cost breakdown.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I typically feel like when I play at home events,
I do better because I'm constantly playing those events. It's
like you still have the mindset or expectation of I
should be playing better because I know this course like
the back of my hand, so like I feel like
maybe that will put a little bit of pressure on you,
(16:29):
but still overall it's almost like those expectations are taking over,
but really you're still playing well because it's your home course.
So that's like my general pattern of playing. You know,
local betiers or local events like in my region, and
you said cost wise, Like cost wise, it saves a
ton of money because most of my like at least
(16:50):
the events in my area, even if they're an hour away,
Like I have Columbus and Cincinnati, which are like two
big cities in the area that also have a bunch
of events. Like typically with those you just ending on
how many days it is, But if you just say
it's a one day beatier I'm probably just waking up
super early and driving you know, an hour away and
then driving back. So really it's like no cost other
(17:10):
than maybe some food and coffee that I'm getting on
the way and some some lunch and gas, so much
more cost effective.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, I think I'd agree with most of that. I
think I'm I'm kind of maybe on the other side
of the spectrum in the sense of I would maybe
feel a little bit more pressure being home, like everyone
knows you and it's like expected, like oh my gosh,
like Cocona's the like pro in this area, like she
should be winning this, So it's like, I guess you're
feeling more of that. I will say for Ella in
(17:39):
this circumstance, like she yeah she's from Seattle, Washington. But
I think we all know like Ella isn't isn't much
of the finesse player that I think that this course
really calls for. You know, she's like our power thrower,
which I think can come into hand in this course
in the sense that she's throwing a she's throwing a
mid on some of these holes, getting like the same
(18:00):
flight as some of the ladies who could be throwing
like an eleven to twelve speed, So it's like, I
think she's getting an advantage in that aspect, but I
think when it comes to like kicks and you know,
things going wrong, I think that's kind of more up
her alley with the power that she has to restrain.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, I was saying the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think with it when it comes to competing in
a familiar place, especially at home, it makes everything off
the course easier, so because it's familiar, and that can
be a huge advantage, but you still have to be
locked in, like what you're saying, to win. It's not
just as easy as being like, oh, we're going home,
(18:38):
like you know these courses, like you still have to
be the best, but you have the advantage of comfortability
off the course, which can make huge difference because this
golf is really stressful at times. So just the bed,
you know, all of these little things that can go wrong,
Like we hear stories all the time of people's rental
cars failing them or not being there, flight issues, blown tires.
(19:01):
I think the most recent is like airbnb issues or
hotel accommodations, Like you don't have to have any of
those things, or even if you're a van life for
finding an accommodation for the week, Like you don't have
to do that because you know where you're going. And
then how far would you guys travel for a tournament
from home, Like how far would you be like paying
that tournaments? Like I'm going to stay home, but I'm
(19:23):
going to just drive there because for me, when I
lived in Virginia, I would drive to Rowan Oak, which
is like a forty five to fifty five minute drive.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I think an hour is max for me.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, I don't know that I would do more than that.
I think that's how.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I was thinking, Like an hour hour and a half.
I think like Indiana is like an hour and a
half from here, so we've gone to like a one
day event there, but like once it like crests that
hour and a half or like you know, at that
point when you're like a regional like touring person, you
kind of know like your cities are on the area,
so it's like, oh, it's in that city, We're going
to have to get a hotel.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You know, you kind of just like start learning. But yeah,
like an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Well, the third person was Holland Hanley. She's a discraft
player representing Grape buy in Texas, but spending a majority
of her time in Oklahoma. She's designed her own course
there and she says it tests all of her weaknesses,
which I thought was really funny because most of the
time when you hear stories of pros making fun courses
(20:31):
for fun, like Tiki Style, but she was like, I
need a course out here where I can just be
really bad at it all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And it's so smart though, I know how smart.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah. So, Holland is currently first in points overall this year.
She has two wins, five podiums, and her worst finishes
are fifth place, and I think she has two of those,
so not too shabby. Rounding out the future card is
Cat Merch. She's an end of a player representing Rosebud
Arkansas Kats, currently sixth in point standings, thirty three points
(21:03):
behind Ella Hanson. She has yet to podium this season,
but her finishes are significantly better than last season, and
she's competed in far less events too. Last year, at
this time she had fourteen PDJA events behind her, and
this year it's only nine. I know she's played in
a couple of the go throw events, and I tried
(21:24):
to look up things about them, and I don't think
they're for women, Like I think they have women's divisions,
but that's not their model. Like when you go to
the website like all men, and then when you go
to the standings, all men, and then the Instagram like
all men, aside from like two posts with like Maria
Leva and Valerie Manhana.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Wow, and I was like, I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I think I remember an interview with lou Humfrey's explaining why.
I don't know if it was probably smash Box because
I frequent that podcast, so that's like my comfort podcast.
I think he explained that just business wise, like that's
where the money is, Like it's a guaranteed fan base
that's just tried and tested, so that's like what they
(22:09):
went for. But of course they like want to bring
the women on too, and I I mean, I don't
love that because it's just a model that hasn't produced anything.
It's a model that's been proven to be like it's
(22:30):
been proven that that's not true, like women's sports are
highly entertaining. But I guess they said that they have
the finances to invest in like one, so they just
went for like the open division, like the mixed division
so they do have go through. Yeah, hopefully I'm having
World Tour flashbacks one Division one champion and we're all like, yay,
(22:53):
I'm to like wait a minute, cool, wait a minute.
That being said, what are you guys thoughts on this,
I mean thoughts on rest versus the repetitions on tour.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's amazing. We've had an off week every other week
for the past like four weeks, and it's been so
nice to not only like explore the area that we
travel to, but like have time for our bodies to rest.
Like I was talking to Colton about it, like we
both we've both cashed like our on like a casing streak,
and I'm like, man like, it's like our bodies feel
(23:26):
great and our minds feel nice, and we've been able
to get off the course and like go do things
and it's like, oh, my goodness, gracious, like awesome, so awesome,
that is so good.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh that's like refreshing.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I feel like every year up until now, people are like,
oh my arm, oh my injury.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh this I've done.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
To a bunch of people about it, like Jen Jennifer
Smiley and Madison Walker and they're like no, like right,
like if DGPT did us some like love by giving
us a few weeks off over here.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Wow. Yeah yeah, And it's cool because you can decide
if you want to go play something. Totally In years past,
there was always that temptation to just grind it out
because there was point opportunities. So it was like the
Q Series and before that the Silver Series, and then
they tried to take the Silver Series away just make
it silver events, and everyone hated it and we forgot
(24:15):
we called it the Silver Series. Anyways.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Interestingly, this event, though I don't know about I guess
like the top pros were still there for the most part,
but there were still a lot of locals that were
signed up, and that typically only happens because everyone else
that has a tour card has either not signed up
or has withdrawn for some reason, and so like typically
only see like a couple few locals or like non
(24:40):
tour cardholders in the event.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And there was a lot at Cascade.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah. Wow, well so there was a lot. There was
a lot of pros the week before that went to
Masters Cup. Oh that's right, yeah, because it's just a
little guy, it's a little course, and so they like
went it's kind of on. It was in the area
in the same Pacific Northwest and they went and then
now or they went from they didn't play Cascade and
(25:05):
they went to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
In Vegas.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, so fo wow.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I was talking to Paul's mom about this. Shout out
Paul's mom and we were just talking about and I
want to get your reactions too. We were talking about Vegas.
When you have a tournament like Vegas, it's four days
and it's a big course like those are big layouts.
Then you have Master's Cup, which is a little layout
(25:36):
it's like very old school disc golf, like similar to Cascade.
You're not taking those high high speed drivers. It's a
lot of like feel. And so then you go from
a Master's Cup to another course like Cascade, which is
you know, wooded and it's it's not as tough on
your body. I wonder if you could do Champions Cup
(25:58):
week off Vegas and then something like Cascade to get
up there. But I feel like the problem is after
Cascade there's a week off, and then there's Portland, and
Portland's a huge one too, So if you bumped Cascade up,
it would go Cascade Portland.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I like the week off before Portland because it's an
elite series.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Plus I.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Like a week off before pluses.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's what makes it so interesting to talk about, is like,
and it makes it so interesting for you to I
like this season because there's so many different options, and
they like don't really know because to them, they're like
live disc golf every week. Baby, like, let's go. But
then your players are hurt and your cameramen are miserable. Actually, like, yeah,
(26:48):
so it's tricky. It's tough.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I was gonna add for Vegas, I'm pretty sure that
we usually put it in the earlier part of the
season because they're greens. Fees to the courses out get
really expensive when it's not their off season, so like
when Vegas starts in February, it's cold, so golf seasons
not popping for them, so we can usually rent it
(27:11):
out for much cheaper in the.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Summer, and they have that Halloween event. Oh wait, that's
not at that course. I'll shut up. That's done. No anyways, Well,
mister Gannon took down this tuin in dominant fashion. I
(27:35):
dropped my phone on the floor, but I will pick
it up and I will play an interview that you.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Just shot ten down on a course like this.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Did you even think around like that was possible?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
No, I don't know, it probably not.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
You know again, it's like, I don't even I don't
even know how I managed to not get any bogies,
Like I'm always expecting to get bogies out here, and
I'm just trying to minimize them to single bogies. So again,
it was just everything was coming out clean. I was
hitting some incredible lines, and when I wasn't, I was
able to scramble.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Quite the reaction from her post round, I think it's
really funny that she doesn't still give herself credit in
the like she won't say an incredible round that I
just had. She's like whatever that was in the interview,
if you go back and listen to it. But one
thing that happens so fast that she says, I can't
(28:35):
expect not to get bogies out here, I just try
to minimize them. That is such amazing insight into a
professional mentality that doesn't get formed by the thoughts and
opinions of us or her fans. That's just an appropriate
expectation of what disc golf is. It's a perfect it's
(28:59):
it's a game of perfection and opportunity, and like this
was one of those situations where she is put in
a position where she could brag or she could say,
you know, she's dominating and everything was just clicking and
everything's good. But she's so realistic and humble and that's
why she's so consistent and if it's just goes by
(29:21):
so fast, like you just you know, I feel like
nobody will even talk about it.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
She was explaining how she's like I was hitting every line,
and then when I wasn't hitting every line, I was
able to scramble out of it. And like, I feel
like all of us have at least had a round
like that once, and that feels so good, Like there's
not a negative.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Thought in your head.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You're just cruising along, like hitting the lines. So that's
all that's super special.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Well like something that you know that she says too,
like minimizing everything, but also you know, playing a practice
around with Colton, I played this one one of the
new Poles twelve, and I remember like I kept just
hitting trees and all this stuff, and he told me,
don't make your own fair way, and I'm like, okay, yes,
Slay Colton Slay, So I was like, a great point.
(30:09):
So it's like, I think Missy does a great job
of not only executing the shot, but not making her
own fair way, like being like, Okay, I could go
this way and make this hero shot, or I can
pitch over here, pitch up, take my par like. She
does a really good job of doing that. In my opinion,
that's so smart. Yeah, Colton has some good ones.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, I think she just has a really good way
of summarizing what we all know to be true about
her and it's refreshing to hear her perspective on it.
But she has the same energy in an interview whether
she wins or loses, And it's really just this calm
understanding and respect for the sport that sometimes it's going
(30:52):
to go your way and you're going to put in
a lot of effort and it's going to pay off
in the form of a win, and sometimes it's not,
and it's not always up to you how your disc
ebbs and flows through a course. Sometimes it's just out
of your hands and all you can do is minimize bogies.
And I just think there's so many people who play
(31:16):
disc golf who take themselves out of contention to win
because of that first double bogie or that first bogy,
and mentally they're gone. And I'm like, play that over
and over and over before you go tea off, and
when it happens, it won't be so horrible. Even if
it's a course that you play every day, even if
it's a hole that everyone should burtie, you never know,
(31:38):
so preach.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
I have a random fun fact that I was blown
away by. Did you guys know that Missy Gannon does
not practice putting? What do you mean she doesn't practice putting?
So at Kansas City Wide Open pro toor was holding
basket testing, and without going into too much detail, we
made the players put a bunch and she comes in
with Tom and it's like, oh, this is as much
(32:01):
putting practice as I'm gonna get this here, Like she
like openly just like.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Oh, so she does situational.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
I don't think she's not like putting with her discs
to the basket to like do some reps.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
She's like practice putting on the course, like from different positions.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
I don't even think she does that, Like when she's
practicing the course, I'm sure she's like putting out.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Yeah, but like outside of that, she's not like repping
it out anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, putting is weird. Like, while Paul has taught me
a lot because he says, like people will ask him
all the time, like how often do you practice putting?
And he's like, as often as I need to because
it's such a flow and if you're not in that rhythm,
then you have to practice to get back in that rhythm. Totally,
when you have a week off whatever, like things can
(32:49):
be feeling really good. It's it's like anything you do,
but specifically putting, because it's so the little percentages of
being off it's so feel especially when you're in a
high pressure environment.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Totally.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, So if she's feeling like yeah, he'll say for her.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Baby was so cool. O God, I'm like, let me
go out for six more hours and I'll feel like
I'm like maybe.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
There, but owne does that owned to Like, I'm gonna
do it anyway.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Oh, I'm gonna put for seven hundred pots a day
and be chill and my elbow's gonna hurt and I'm
probably gonna take third place and be sad about it.
But you know what, I'm gonna go out and put
even more.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
But like you can tell that shows I feel like
in Own's putting in tournament because I feel like anything
within the circle, she's just like, let me get up
to my lie boom, like just so fast because it's
like muscle memory to her. To Missy still has a routine,
but she's definitely not as fast as Own, so it's
just like crazy to see, like to Oposie size of
the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I'm very excited to get Missy for an interview, but
I refuse to do it virtually. I just don't want to.
I do not want to do a virtual interview. I
just think it's so less cool when you it's so
much cooler when you do it in person. Closing questions
for you guys, This doesn't have anything to do with anything,
but I feel like we've never really talked about it.
(34:08):
How much does Discolf World drama affect you? Look. I
feel like every week there's sort of an opportunity to
chime in on something like this week, I think it
was ab throwing at a gas station, like for whatever reason,
last week it was the football thing. A week before that,
(34:28):
it was like, you know, there's been a lot of
spotter stuff. There's been like a lot of stuff and
it's like, how does that, How does the Discolf World
drama affect you specifically?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I mean, like being on the road, definitely. I mean
I can probably say it affects you and me more
than Christine, I would say, because we see a lot more.
We're in it a lot more Christine in a different sense.
But like with like the pros and the drama with
that stuff, Like I mean I experienced stuff off the
course that like you know, your average person wouldn't know
about your favorite pro And it's like, I mean, I
(35:00):
don't know if it affects me. It's more so just
like drama that we deal with and see, and it's
just like being in high school on the road, you
know what I mean. Everybody has their own little drama
and their little oh did you hear that? He did that?
Oh did you hear M through a gas station?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
My god. Like it's just like it's just the talk
of the parking.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Lot, you know, yeah, yeah, the talk of the parking lot.
Oh my gosh. Should be a podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Should be sure of that. All the vans in a
parking lot, talk of the parking would be cute.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
It's part the talk of the parking lot. And then
it's like, but we get like those voice changing things,
and we just talked about everything that would be our.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Or spam account burner, yeah that's what I mean, or
roast account.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I wanted to touch on your question. I doesc golf
drama irks me?
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Okay, So before I worked for the Pro Tour and
I was disc golfer Christine, I would mosey my way
into the comment section and tell people.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Straight it's dangerous what not in.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Like an opinionated way. I always went in there.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
With like a factual tone, like, hey, you're mad about this,
but like the fact of the matter is this, so
like you can't really be mad about it, you know,
like in that sort of way. I'm not just sitting here, like,
you know, snapping my fingers at everyone. But ever since
I started working for the pro Tour, two things. The
first thing is that my my sensitive topics now are
(36:31):
when people are like talking bad about the pro Tour
because I personally work for the pro Tour and know
all fifty people that work for the pro Tour. Okay,
everyone thinks we're this big corporation that has a ton
of money and is just like trying to monopolize disc Golf.
I get how it can look that way, but we're
just fifty discoff loving employees that are trying to make
(36:52):
it work right. So, like without saying much more than that,
like I can't back up the company, okay, Like I
can't just go in and like go snap my fingers
at people in the comment section anymore, because now that
reflects on my job and all caps we're doing. So
like people are talking about the stream where people are
talking about, oh, the course should be like this, and
(37:13):
it's like, okay, but you don't know that, like our
ops guys just you know, had to clear out all
the water at MCO, or you don't know that our
media guys are like climbing up these hills all the time.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Like it's it's hard, but I have to bite my tongue.
That was the second thing. I just like have to read.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
It and go on about it and just like know
that we're doing our best.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Bottle.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
It's hard.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Sure, I think when people talk about Paul it bothers
me a lot because I'm a right fighter. I love
fighting for what's right. Especially for my friends. If it's
for me, I think I'll kind of let it slide
unless it's in person, and then I'll be like, hey stop,
I don't like that. But online, I just you just
learned to they don't know everything, right, like you just
(37:58):
you right, don't take it as personal because you're just
you come to the understanding of like, okay, whatever, and
then I think you learn that it doesn't actually affect you.
But like, there's been a couple times when things have
happened that I've been really really mad and I've wanted
to respond to a lot of people, and it just
doesn't I really have to sit with it and be like,
(38:20):
is this worth my time? What would this sew or
what would I reap if I sowed this conversation right
if I got involved? Is am I just going to
be able to put a period on it and run away?
Or is this going to start whole thing? Am I
having a conversation with someone who's willing to have a
conversation or are they just mad and they're just seeing
(38:41):
all of this as entertainment and this is like their
Tuesday night entertainment. Is just like commenting negatively or people
in other podcasts who have opinions and who do things
a certain way. It really it really gets under my skin,
you know. The way that they commentate on when's disc
golf sometimes, or they comment on the way that things
(39:01):
have happened in women's disc golf sometimes just isn't in
line with how I would do it, and it does
more harm than good for women's disc golf. And then
it was so permenable and it just like it makes
me so bad. But I would say I feel like
I've definitely seen an increase in it because people are
hungry for it, and so there's a lot more opportunity
(39:23):
to talk about things and just like scrutinize people because
it's it's sad, but I think it's just part of
the entertainment aspect of it, you know, like other sports.
But yeah, when it's your homies, it really suck. But
(39:44):
I feel like, I don't know, it's so hard not
to respond.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
I feel like all of us are in the same boat,
Like none of us really like stick our hands into
it anymore.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I think of a few things that I could respond
to right now that I just can't. Yeah, I'm like,
it's hard. It's hard for people are so certain and
they don't have all the facts, and they shouldn't have
all the facts, and you just have to be like,
you know what life goes on and I'm doing here
(40:15):
for entertainment and this is what's entertaining you and it's fine.
Doesn't change who we are. So it's tough. But anyways, Yeah,
so I guess in summary of this episode, congratulations huge
to Missy for winning back to back events, one of
them being a major, her second major ever. I really
really want to have her on the show. I would
(40:36):
much rather do it in person, but I'm going to
reach out to her and see if our schedules align
because the next time I'll be on the road isn't
until Des Moines, so that's kind of crazy because it's
coming up soon far. Yeah, so I feel like she
will either win a lot before then and then we'll
have a lot to talk about and then another off week,
(41:01):
so I guess you'll see what we have coming up.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Hannah, you have to practice so we can be everyone
at the Creator's Challenge.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
No, I really do have to practice.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
That was my motivation for going out on Sunday. It's
like I gotta go throw some discs.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I know.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I missed the days when I used to be on
tour just for the sole reason of knowing my bag
forwards and backwards and being able to go to any
course and just play well because you just knew your
entire bag. I had like four different bags that I
could use. There's a lot of disks in my house. Okay,
they're not really pretty. They keep coming out with new ones.
(41:39):
They came out with like confetti lunas or something, and
they're really cool and I want one.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Isn't that wild?
Speaker 5 (41:44):
I keep saying new plastic come out and people are like, oh,
you didn't know that was coming out, And I was like, dude, Like,
Halo plastic was.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Cool to me three years ago.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Proto Glow, Halo Star plastic.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, and they're really pretty. Yeah. All right, Well, love
you guys.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Love you. Thanks, thanks for parting. Thanks thank.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Why doesn't your AirPods connect because they're dead?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I them in my ear and it went.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Where's your husband? Where's your boyfriend's AirPods?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah? How many AirPods do you have?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
He doesn't have air pods?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Dude. We have so many freaking different kinds of headphones
because Paul will buy the I bought these for him
and white for Christmas, never brings them on any trips
because he forgets so at the airport, he bought these
and pinks because he thought that I would like them.
He was right. And then we have like two basic
air pods, and then I have air pods that I
bought for me a while ago, and there I use
(00:58):
all of them. And he literally we went on this trip.
We got on the plane and he turns to me
and goes, hey, do you know where my beats are? Like, yeah,
they're in the junk drawer at home, Like, what do
you mean he never packs the headphones. And remember when
Beats used to have those big over the year headphones
when I met him when we were dating, those were
like the thing. He has three pairs of them for
(01:21):
the same reason because he would have like one in
the RV with Nate, and then he would bring one
on a trip and then he would constantly forget. He
has like four pairs of those skull candy headphones. It's
a mess.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Needs to sell them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I know those are the ones to pay to rent
a table at a tournament at like USCGC. And it's
just gonna be yard sale items that people are done
with for the year. Because you can't tell me that
some of these guys don't have like jerseys and shorts
and pants that they just will never wear ever again,
that they would sell for like ten dollars. So good,
(01:58):
it's crazy. Yeah, And no, what it would be is
it would be headphones, shoes, umbrellas, so many umbrellas half
used to like hand lotions. Oh this is pretty good.
What is up? Party people? Welcome back to the podcast.
I miss saying that I know we have like a
(02:19):
cool pre recorded intro now, but I do miss saying
me too.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Last week we were talking about Champions Cup and I
wanted to tell a story and it has to do
with this steak night that we got invited to at
our airbnb.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I stayed at an Airbnb with a bunch of people,
one being Joey Tomlly. He's like the biggest social butterfly
of all time on tour and knows everybody, friends with everybody,
and he works for MVP, so he's very close with
Simon and Simon's on tour now with like a camera
guy from us from New Jersey, and they stayed in
(02:54):
our airbnb. It was great well because we were there,
we got invited to a steak night that I guess
Matt Schleybach hosts every once in a while, and it's
kind of like one of those if you know someone
you can come situations like they don't care who comes,
but like it's not an open invitation where they just
like post it on Facebook. It's more so if you
(03:15):
go up to Matt and they're like, hey, are you
doing any stake nights? Soon I saw that he'll be like, oh, dude,
you're totally from but he's not gonna like send out
an invite, That's what I'm saying, because there's like forty people.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, they also have a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They had like a little thing where you could, I think,
type in if you were going to go or not,
Like I don't know if it's like a Facebook group
or what. I don't know. The only reason we got
invited is because we were staying there. But yeah, so
we went and I did an interview with Kristin Tatar. Now,
since having a baby, Kristin and I have unlocked a
(03:51):
new level of our friendship where we just understand each
other a lot more as moms. So I can say
things to her like, hey, I know the podcasts is
over and there's a huge party downstairs. Do you just
want to stay up here? She's like, my social battery
does not last as long as it once did. And
(04:11):
so I went downstairs and the party was loud. The
owner of the airbnb actually came because he was a discolfer,
which we were super grateful for because on the Airbnb website,
like on the page for the for the listing, it
says like in all caps, no party, like it says
it in multiple texts all like when you open the
(04:35):
little pamphlet for the house, it's like absolutely no parties,
no gatherings, nothing like unless preapproved, and like even then
it's like not going to happen. So here we come
with this giant party with like forty people. I go
over to Raven Klein and her boyfriend and a couple
other people like he was like Raven Newsome and a
(04:56):
couple other pros and they're very like goofy and so
am I. So I'm just like we're like running bits
and we're like doing like these funny things and it's
a great time. And I'm like, oh, this is my corner.
And then they left, so I was like no. Cherson
and Silver left and I was like no. And then
I walk outside and Nate and val Doss are outside
and Ian Anderson is outside. I'm like, all right, my
(05:19):
like talent, Like what is up people? So I go
out and I'm just like talking and I realized that
I'm just kind of making small talk, talking to them
about the podcast that I just did and some of
the things that got brought up because I think it's interesting.
Then I realized that no one's really going off of
anything that I'm saying. They're all just like they're not
(05:40):
being rude at all. Those are not rude people, but
they're just kind of like that's cool, okay, Like yeah, man,
good for you.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
And I was like, okay, and you go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
A normal person would say, oh, I think I have
to go to the bathroom, and they would leave and
go back upstairs and go to bed and just be like,
you know what, we'll try again next time. Instead, I
start panicking and I start looking around my surroundings trying
to figure out what I could talk about. And I
see across because the houses are so close together in
(06:14):
this little neighborhood, I see someone pull down the shades
of their house to look at what we're all doing
because it's inside outside, and then they flip them back
up really fast, and I was like, did you guys
just see that? So then I explain what I just saw,
and I am once again not really getting a lot
of energy. You like, help help Paul, I hear people, right, Yeah,
(06:38):
so I'm probably gonna go to bed, but like, it
was so good to see you guys. And I was like, oh,
so I go back inside the house. I just wanted
you to know I've been in discolf for a long time.
I know a lot of people. I didn't recognize a
single person in that house because it was all MVP people.
It was all the OTV people, and I haven't met
(07:00):
any of them because I have really only met like
the end of a Family, Dyscomania, Discraft. You know, I
don't know like a lot of the other brands because
I've just never been in rooms with them. And the
thing is, this is after having over an hour conversation
with Kristen, and it's really loud, just like my batteries out,
like go home, that's good, is happening. And I was
(07:23):
thinking about this, but do you remember like back in
the day at parties like this that was like you
were buttoned up and you were networking like you had
to be.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You're like, hi, am cod to Montgomery, how's it going.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It was so interesting to be in that position again
where I didn't have to do that. I don't know
how to explain it, because it's hard to explain being
Paul's wife. It's very much when you come into a
room of people, like people have preconceived notions of you
and who you are and who your husband is and
I feel like for the past eight or nine years
(08:00):
of my life, I couldn't walk into those parties and
just be like who like hand of Macbeth. I had
to kind of be like what they needed me to be,
and it was It's a lot of hearing people out.
It's a lot of when you do let your guard down,
people come to you and suddenly you're hearing a ten
minute speech that they wish they were telling your husband.
(08:22):
And it's this this position I just like found myself
in mixed with meeting people. You would suddenly be at
a dinner and you're in front of a sponsor and
the sponsor is considering getting into disc golf, and you're like,
I'm at this interaction your impression of like what disc
golf is. So suddenly I'm out of like that and
(08:42):
I'm in this party and I'm like, who am I?
What are you going on? So I'd be like my
small talk card got revoked, mixed with like I had,
like my identity crisis. You're finding your identity. Yeah, but
it's like a little bit weird because it doesn't sound
very humble to talk about it. In my opinion, it's
(09:03):
like not really something that people ever talk about it
and nobody gets to really experience all that you do. Yeah,
it's I feel like safe talking to our community about
it because I feel like they give me the benefit
of the doubt a lot. But like it really was
like that a lot. You're not running bits in the
corner with like a couple of disc golfers and you're
like no, I look like wait, yeah yeah, but yeah.
(09:24):
I just remember Kristin and I were walking down the
stairs and it was just getting louder and louder, and
I just remember being like, do I go just like backupstairs.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Start backing up?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
You were talking about how you didn't know anybody at
that party, and I went out to go play discolf
for the first time on Sunday, and I felt the
same way, like I don't know, four years ago, when
I was playing disc golf all the time, I knew everybody.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I went back ont of the course and like
there's usually, you.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Know, like a gaggle of people hanging out at I say,
you know, the course that I go, I always has
like a gaggle of people.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Hanging out and it's like my home crew. They were
there and they're always like, right, by whole one.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
And so they're like, oh hey, so you know, like
you say hi, but then like you start going through
the course and I'm playing by myself, so a lot
of people just let me play through, and so like
as I'm like playing through.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I know no one. I probably played through almost ten groups.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Like I was like huffing and puffing through that course
because people kept saying like, oh, you can go through,
and I was only throwing one shot because I was
just like going out for fun.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm not like trying to go practice or anything like that.
And so I'm like, oh, wow, like I don't know
any of you. This is wild.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Wow, But it's cool thought so because it's like, you know,
a lot of them like looked very recreational, you know,
meaning that they're probably new.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
A lot of them were younger. You know, there's like
college high school kids out there. So yeah, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah. We just played a Huntington Beach and uh, it's
a lot different when you have Pablo with you than
when you don't. We went there this morning and tried
to play, but it didn't work out. So we just
were like, well leave and come back in the afternoon
because we were recording a video, and when we came
in the afternoon, you could tell it was the people
who probably have the day off, and they were just
like way more casual. But in the beginning it was
(11:12):
like people who were there for the workout, like they're there,
they're like on a schedule, because it was pretty early
in the morning, and like the afternooners are like half
of them are shirt list. They've got like the best
arms I've ever seen. Like they're just throwing like four
hundred feet and I'm like, oh, they're carrying.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
This nice arm too.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They have the best arms. I'm like, Okay, this is
just what I need work on, guys, I just need
work on right, No, I meant they're throwing ability. You
know you're married. Oh man, Oh my god, that's funny.
(11:58):
Well man Anyway, but yeah, Paul knows all the locals there.
But every time there's like tons of new people and
they're all comfortable just being recreational. I feel like the
sport is healing. Like that's kind of how it was. So.
(12:25):
Cascade Challenge was in Washington. It was the Washington's first
ever disculp pro tour event a couple of years ago,
and it was a silver series in twenty twenty three.
Last year in twenty twenty four, it was a Q
Series qualifier, and now this year it is part of
the Elite Series. It's played on the Shelton Springs Course,
about ninety miles from Seattle according to the SCALF Pro
(12:47):
Tour website, and it boasts a diverse layout, offering pros
the perfect stage to display their skills and creative gameplay.
That's another way of saying, she's really tight and wooded, like, oh,
you want to play here? Cool, So you're gonna be
able to display all of your skills and your creativity
because this is a lot of what's like, oh great.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
For me personally, and hearing from some of the pros
around the course, they actually really enjoyed this. It was
a nice change of pace compared to Swinson because Swinson
was just wide open ball golf. We're throwing as hard
as we possibly can and just wide open. You can
like have a mistake and still be safe. Where here
at Shelton, you know, definitely having to like disk down
on some shots, Like I threw lots of mid ranges
(13:30):
and like seven and nine speeds. I think I barely
touched my twelve speeds except for like some of the
open holes, which there's like two or three of those,
so you know, coming for myself, wonderful piece of property.
Not much elevation, lots of just different angle control shots.
And then there were some new holes added this year
(13:51):
Jeff Corn's he was the TD for this year and
I think the last few years, and he added a
few new holes that I think we'll talk, we'll go into,
you know, maybe a little bit into the podcast, but
I think they still need some changing. But overall, I
love the court.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Round one feature card was Missy Gannon, Ella Hanson, Hall
and Hanley and Cat Merch. Missy Gannon so she's a
discraft player. She represents Beacon, New York, and she's currently
second in tour points, which surprised me, behind holl And Hanley.
I looked back at her page and she had kind
of a slow start to the season, like nothing too crazy,
(14:28):
but for her, a couple of fourteenth places, like just
nothing close to what her abilities are, especially with her
winning recently, she's been in contention for the win a
few times but unable to close until Champions Cup, and
that's a really good one to close out. And then
she kept the ball rolling with the win here at
(14:49):
Cascade at a completely different venue, you see is definitely
someone with the well rounded game. The second was Ella Hanson.
She's a Discomania player representing Seattle, Washington and currently fifth
in tour points, fifteen points behind Kristin lot who. If
you're wondering why Kristen isn't first with all of her success,
it's because she hasn't been in every single event, and
(15:12):
I don't know how that will shape out at the end,
but she will definitely be in contention because some of
these will drop and she'll play enough events. So just
keep holding on for the Kristen fans and for everyone else,
it's very exciting. Ella kicked off the twenty twenty five
touring season with a nail bedding win over Bestie holl
(15:32):
And Hanley at the Supreme Flight Open, and then she
podiumed at this year's Kansas City Wide Open. I am
really surprised not to see her on the future card,
but just like I guess a little bit surprised with
her performance here. She's coming out of Seattle, so she
is competing from home, and I just wanted to ask
(15:55):
you guys for a little insight on what it's like
to compete close to home, where you're kind of dang
in a familiar spot, whether you're staying at home or
not versus far away, and then maybe like a bit
of like the cost breakdown.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I typically feel like when I play at home events,
I do better because I'm constantly playing those events. It's
like you still have the mindset or expectation of I
should be playing better because I know this course like
the back of my hand, so like I feel like
maybe that will put a little bit of pressure on you,
(16:29):
but still overall it's almost like those expectations are taking over,
but really you're still playing well because it's your home course.
So that's like my general pattern of playing. You know,
local betiers or local events like in my region, and
you said cost wise, Like cost wise, it saves a
ton of money because most of my like at least
(16:50):
the events in my area, even if they're an hour away,
Like I have Columbus and Cincinnati, which are like two
big cities in the area that also have a bunch
of events. Like typically with those you just ending on
how many days it is, But if you just say
it's a one day beatier I'm probably just waking up
super early and driving you know, an hour away and
then driving back. So really it's like no cost other
(17:10):
than maybe some food and coffee that I'm getting on
the way and some some lunch and gas, so much
more cost effective.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, I think I'd agree with most of that. I
think I'm I'm kind of maybe on the other side
of the spectrum in the sense of I would maybe
feel a little bit more pressure being home, like everyone
knows you and it's like expected, like oh my gosh,
like Cocona's the like pro in this area, like she
should be winning this, So it's like, I guess you're
feeling more of that. I will say for Ella in
(17:39):
this circumstance, like she yeah she's from Seattle, Washington. But
I think we all know like Ella isn't isn't much
of the finesse player that I think that this course
really calls for. You know, she's like our power thrower,
which I think can come into hand in this course
in the sense that she's throwing a she's throwing a
mid on some of these holes, getting like the same
(18:00):
flight as some of the ladies who could be throwing
like an eleven to twelve speed, So it's like, I
think she's getting an advantage in that aspect, but I
think when it comes to like kicks and you know,
things going wrong, I think that's kind of more up
her alley with the power that she has to restrain.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, I was saying the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think with it when it comes to competing in
a familiar place, especially at home, it makes everything off
the course easier, so because it's familiar, and that can
be a huge advantage, but you still have to be
locked in, like what you're saying, to win. It's not
just as easy as being like, oh, we're going home,
(18:38):
like you know these courses, like you still have to
be the best, but you have the advantage of comfortability
off the course, which can make huge difference because this
golf is really stressful at times. So just the bed,
you know, all of these little things that can go wrong,
Like we hear stories all the time of people's rental
cars failing them or not being there, flight issues, blown tires.
(19:01):
I think the most recent is like airbnb issues or
hotel accommodations, Like you don't have to have any of
those things, or even if you're a van life for
finding an accommodation for the week, Like you don't have
to do that because you know where you're going. And
then how far would you guys travel for a tournament
from home, Like how far would you be like paying
that tournaments? Like I'm going to stay home, but I'm
(19:23):
going to just drive there because for me, when I
lived in Virginia, I would drive to Rowan Oak, which
is like a forty five to fifty five minute drive.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I think an hour is max for me.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, I don't know that I would do more than that.
I think that's how.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I was thinking, Like an hour hour and a half.
I think like Indiana is like an hour and a
half from here, so we've gone to like a one
day event there, but like once it like crests that
hour and a half or like you know, at that
point when you're like a regional like touring person, you
kind of know like your cities are on the area,
so it's like, oh, it's in that city, We're going
to have to get a hotel.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You know, you kind of just like start learning. But yeah,
like an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Well, the third person was Holland Hanley. She's a discraft
player representing Grape buy in Texas, but spending a majority
of her time in Oklahoma. She's designed her own course
there and she says it tests all of her weaknesses,
which I thought was really funny because most of the
time when you hear stories of pros making fun courses
(20:31):
for fun, like Tiki Style, but she was like, I
need a course out here where I can just be
really bad at it all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And it's so smart though, I know how smart.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah. So, Holland is currently first in points overall this year.
She has two wins, five podiums, and her worst finishes
are fifth place, and I think she has two of those,
so not too shabby. Rounding out the future card is
Cat Merch. She's an end of a player representing Rosebud
Arkansas Kats, currently sixth in point standings, thirty three points
(21:03):
behind Ella Hanson. She has yet to podium this season,
but her finishes are significantly better than last season, and
she's competed in far less events too. Last year, at
this time she had fourteen PDJA events behind her, and
this year it's only nine. I know she's played in
a couple of the go throw events, and I tried
(21:24):
to look up things about them, and I don't think
they're for women, Like I think they have women's divisions,
but that's not their model. Like when you go to
the website like all men, and then when you go
to the standings, all men, and then the Instagram like
all men, aside from like two posts with like Maria
Leva and Valerie Manhana.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Wow, and I was like, I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I think I remember an interview with lou Humfrey's explaining why.
I don't know if it was probably smash Box because
I frequent that podcast, so that's like my comfort podcast.
I think he explained that just business wise, like that's
where the money is, Like it's a guaranteed fan base
that's just tried and tested, so that's like what they
(22:09):
went for. But of course they like want to bring
the women on too, and I I mean, I don't
love that because it's just a model that hasn't produced anything.
It's a model that's been proven to be like it's
(22:30):
been proven that that's not true, like women's sports are
highly entertaining. But I guess they said that they have
the finances to invest in like one, so they just
went for like the open division, like the mixed division
so they do have go through. Yeah, hopefully I'm having
World Tour flashbacks one Division one champion and we're all like, yay,
(22:53):
I'm to like wait a minute, cool, wait a minute.
That being said, what are you guys thoughts on this,
I mean thoughts on rest versus the repetitions on tour.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
It's amazing. We've had an off week every other week
for the past like four weeks, and it's been so
nice to not only like explore the area that we
travel to, but like have time for our bodies to rest.
Like I was talking to Colton about it, like we
both we've both cashed like our on like a casing streak,
and I'm like, man like, it's like our bodies feel
(23:26):
great and our minds feel nice, and we've been able
to get off the course and like go do things
and it's like, oh, my goodness, gracious, like awesome, so awesome,
that is so good.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh that's like refreshing.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I feel like every year up until now, people are like,
oh my arm, oh my injury.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh this I've done.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
To a bunch of people about it, like Jen Jennifer
Smiley and Madison Walker and they're like no, like right,
like if DGPT did us some like love by giving
us a few weeks off over here.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Wow. Yeah yeah, And it's cool because you can decide
if you want to go play something. Totally In years past,
there was always that temptation to just grind it out
because there was point opportunities. So it was like the
Q Series and before that the Silver Series, and then
they tried to take the Silver Series away just make
it silver events, and everyone hated it and we forgot
(24:15):
we called it the Silver Series. Anyways.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Interestingly, this event, though I don't know about I guess
like the top pros were still there for the most part,
but there were still a lot of locals that were
signed up, and that typically only happens because everyone else
that has a tour card has either not signed up
or has withdrawn for some reason, and so like typically
only see like a couple few locals or like non
(24:40):
tour cardholders in the event.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And there was a lot at Cascade.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah. Wow, well so there was a lot. There was
a lot of pros the week before that went to
Masters Cup. Oh that's right, yeah, because it's just a
little guy, it's a little course, and so they like
went it's kind of on. It was in the area
in the same Pacific Northwest and they went and then
now or they went from they didn't play Cascade and
(25:05):
they went to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
In Vegas.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, so fo wow.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I was talking to Paul's mom about this. Shout out
Paul's mom and we were just talking about and I
want to get your reactions too. We were talking about Vegas.
When you have a tournament like Vegas, it's four days
and it's a big course like those are big layouts.
Then you have Master's Cup, which is a little layout
(25:36):
it's like very old school disc golf, like similar to Cascade.
You're not taking those high high speed drivers. It's a
lot of like feel. And so then you go from
a Master's Cup to another course like Cascade, which is
you know, wooded and it's it's not as tough on
your body. I wonder if you could do Champions Cup
(25:58):
week off Vegas and then something like Cascade to get
up there. But I feel like the problem is after
Cascade there's a week off, and then there's Portland, and
Portland's a huge one too, So if you bumped Cascade up,
it would go Cascade Portland.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I like the week off before Portland because it's an
elite series.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Plus I.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Like a week off before pluses.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's what makes it so interesting to talk about, is like,
and it makes it so interesting for you to I
like this season because there's so many different options, and
they like don't really know because to them, they're like
live disc golf every week. Baby, like, let's go. But
then your players are hurt and your cameramen are miserable. Actually, like, yeah,
(26:48):
so it's tricky. It's tough.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I was gonna add for Vegas, I'm pretty sure that
we usually put it in the earlier part of the
season because they're greens. Fees to the courses out get
really expensive when it's not their off season, so like
when Vegas starts in February, it's cold, so golf seasons
not popping for them, so we can usually rent it
(27:11):
out for much cheaper in the.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Summer, and they have that Halloween event. Oh wait, that's
not at that course. I'll shut up. That's done. No anyways, Well,
mister Gannon took down this tuin in dominant fashion. I
(27:35):
dropped my phone on the floor, but I will pick
it up and I will play an interview that you.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Just shot ten down on a course like this.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Did you even think around like that was possible?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
No, I don't know, it probably not.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
You know again, it's like, I don't even I don't
even know how I managed to not get any bogies,
Like I'm always expecting to get bogies out here, and
I'm just trying to minimize them to single bogies. So again,
it was just everything was coming out clean. I was
hitting some incredible lines, and when I wasn't, I was
able to scramble.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Quite the reaction from her post round, I think it's
really funny that she doesn't still give herself credit in
the like she won't say an incredible round that I
just had. She's like whatever that was in the interview,
if you go back and listen to it. But one
thing that happens so fast that she says, I can't
(28:35):
expect not to get bogies out here, I just try
to minimize them. That is such amazing insight into a
professional mentality that doesn't get formed by the thoughts and
opinions of us or her fans. That's just an appropriate
expectation of what disc golf is. It's a perfect it's
(28:59):
it's a game of perfection and opportunity, and like this
was one of those situations where she is put in
a position where she could brag or she could say,
you know, she's dominating and everything was just clicking and
everything's good. But she's so realistic and humble and that's
why she's so consistent and if it's just goes by
(29:21):
so fast, like you just you know, I feel like
nobody will even talk about it.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
She was explaining how she's like I was hitting every line,
and then when I wasn't hitting every line, I was
able to scramble out of it. And like, I feel
like all of us have at least had a round
like that once, and that feels so good, Like there's
not a negative.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Thought in your head.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You're just cruising along, like hitting the lines. So that's
all that's super special.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Well like something that you know that she says too,
like minimizing everything, but also you know, playing a practice
around with Colton, I played this one one of the
new Poles twelve, and I remember like I kept just
hitting trees and all this stuff, and he told me,
don't make your own fair way, and I'm like, okay, yes,
Slay Colton Slay, So I was like, a great point.
(30:09):
So it's like, I think Missy does a great job
of not only executing the shot, but not making her
own fair way, like being like, Okay, I could go
this way and make this hero shot, or I can
pitch over here, pitch up, take my par like. She
does a really good job of doing that. In my opinion,
that's so smart. Yeah, Colton has some good ones.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, I think she just has a really good way
of summarizing what we all know to be true about
her and it's refreshing to hear her perspective on it.
But she has the same energy in an interview whether
she wins or loses, And it's really just this calm
understanding and respect for the sport that sometimes it's going
(30:52):
to go your way and you're going to put in
a lot of effort and it's going to pay off
in the form of a win, and sometimes it's not,
and it's not always up to you how your disc
ebbs and flows through a course. Sometimes it's just out
of your hands and all you can do is minimize bogies.
And I just think there's so many people who play
(31:16):
disc golf who take themselves out of contention to win
because of that first double bogie or that first bogy,
and mentally they're gone. And I'm like, play that over
and over and over before you go tea off, and
when it happens, it won't be so horrible. Even if
it's a course that you play every day, even if
it's a hole that everyone should burtie, you never know,
(31:38):
so preach.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
I have a random fun fact that I was blown
away by. Did you guys know that Missy Gannon does
not practice putting? What do you mean she doesn't practice putting?
So at Kansas City Wide Open pro toor was holding
basket testing, and without going into too much detail, we
made the players put a bunch and she comes in
with Tom and it's like, oh, this is as much
(32:01):
putting practice as I'm gonna get this here, Like she
like openly just like.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Oh, so she does situational.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
I don't think she's not like putting with her discs
to the basket to like do some reps.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
She's like practice putting on the course, like from different positions.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
I don't even think she does that, Like when she's
practicing the course, I'm sure she's like putting out.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Yeah, but like outside of that, she's not like repping
it out anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, putting is weird. Like, while Paul has taught me
a lot because he says, like people will ask him
all the time, like how often do you practice putting?
And he's like, as often as I need to because
it's such a flow and if you're not in that rhythm,
then you have to practice to get back in that rhythm. Totally,
when you have a week off whatever, like things can
(32:49):
be feeling really good. It's it's like anything you do,
but specifically putting, because it's so the little percentages of
being off it's so feel especially when you're in a
high pressure environment.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Totally.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, So if she's feeling like yeah, he'll say for her.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Baby was so cool. O God, I'm like, let me
go out for six more hours and I'll feel like
I'm like maybe.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
There, but owne does that owned to Like, I'm gonna
do it anyway.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Oh, I'm gonna put for seven hundred pots a day
and be chill and my elbow's gonna hurt and I'm
probably gonna take third place and be sad about it.
But you know what, I'm gonna go out and put
even more.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
But like you can tell that shows I feel like
in Own's putting in tournament because I feel like anything
within the circle, she's just like, let me get up
to my lie boom, like just so fast because it's
like muscle memory to her. To Missy still has a routine,
but she's definitely not as fast as Own, so it's
just like crazy to see, like to Oposie size of
the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I'm very excited to get Missy for an interview, but
I refuse to do it virtually. I just don't want to.
I do not want to do a virtual interview. I
just think it's so less cool when you it's so
much cooler when you do it in person. Closing questions
for you guys, This doesn't have anything to do with anything,
but I feel like we've never really talked about it.
(34:08):
How much does Discolf World drama affect you? Look. I
feel like every week there's sort of an opportunity to
chime in on something like this week, I think it
was ab throwing at a gas station, like for whatever reason,
last week it was the football thing. A week before that,
(34:28):
it was like, you know, there's been a lot of
spotter stuff. There's been like a lot of stuff and
it's like, how does that, How does the Discolf World
drama affect you specifically?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I mean, like being on the road, definitely. I mean
I can probably say it affects you and me more
than Christine, I would say, because we see a lot more.
We're in it a lot more Christine in a different sense.
But like with like the pros and the drama with
that stuff, Like I mean I experienced stuff off the
course that like you know, your average person wouldn't know
about your favorite pro And it's like, I mean, I
(35:00):
don't know if it affects me. It's more so just
like drama that we deal with and see, and it's
just like being in high school on the road, you
know what I mean. Everybody has their own little drama
and their little oh did you hear that? He did that?
Oh did you hear M through a gas station?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
My god. Like it's just like it's just the talk
of the parking.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Lot, you know, yeah, yeah, the talk of the parking lot.
Oh my gosh. Should be a podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Should be sure of that. All the vans in a
parking lot, talk of the parking would be cute.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
It's part the talk of the parking lot. And then
it's like, but we get like those voice changing things,
and we just talked about everything that would be our.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Or spam account burner, yeah that's what I mean, or
roast account.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
I wanted to touch on your question. I doesc golf
drama irks me?
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Okay, So before I worked for the Pro Tour and
I was disc golfer Christine, I would mosey my way
into the comment section and tell people.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Straight it's dangerous what not in.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Like an opinionated way. I always went in there.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
With like a factual tone, like, hey, you're mad about this,
but like the fact of the matter is this, so
like you can't really be mad about it, you know,
like in that sort of way. I'm not just sitting here, like,
you know, snapping my fingers at everyone. But ever since
I started working for the pro Tour, two things. The
first thing is that my my sensitive topics now are
(36:31):
when people are like talking bad about the pro Tour
because I personally work for the pro Tour and know
all fifty people that work for the pro Tour. Okay,
everyone thinks we're this big corporation that has a ton
of money and is just like trying to monopolize disc Golf.
I get how it can look that way, but we're
just fifty discoff loving employees that are trying to make
(36:52):
it work right. So, like without saying much more than that,
like I can't back up the company, okay, Like I
can't just go in and like go snap my fingers
at people in the comment section anymore, because now that
reflects on my job and all caps we're doing. So
like people are talking about the stream where people are
talking about, oh, the course should be like this, and
(37:13):
it's like, okay, but you don't know that, like our
ops guys just you know, had to clear out all
the water at MCO, or you don't know that our
media guys are like climbing up these hills all the time.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Like it's it's hard, but I have to bite my tongue.
That was the second thing. I just like have to read.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
It and go on about it and just like know
that we're doing our best.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Bottle.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
It's hard.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Sure, I think when people talk about Paul it bothers
me a lot because I'm a right fighter. I love
fighting for what's right. Especially for my friends. If it's
for me, I think I'll kind of let it slide
unless it's in person, and then I'll be like, hey stop,
I don't like that. But online, I just you just
learned to they don't know everything, right, like you just
(37:58):
you right, don't take it as personal because you're just
you come to the understanding of like, okay, whatever, and
then I think you learn that it doesn't actually affect you.
But like, there's been a couple times when things have
happened that I've been really really mad and I've wanted
to respond to a lot of people, and it just
doesn't I really have to sit with it and be like,
(38:20):
is this worth my time? What would this sew or
what would I reap if I sowed this conversation right
if I got involved? Is am I just going to
be able to put a period on it and run away?
Or is this going to start whole thing? Am I
having a conversation with someone who's willing to have a
conversation or are they just mad and they're just seeing
(38:41):
all of this as entertainment and this is like their
Tuesday night entertainment. Is just like commenting negatively or people
in other podcasts who have opinions and who do things
a certain way. It really it really gets under my skin,
you know. The way that they commentate on when's disc
golf sometimes, or they comment on the way that things
(39:01):
have happened in women's disc golf sometimes just isn't in
line with how I would do it, and it does
more harm than good for women's disc golf. And then
it was so permenable and it just like it makes
me so bad. But I would say I feel like
I've definitely seen an increase in it because people are
hungry for it, and so there's a lot more opportunity
(39:23):
to talk about things and just like scrutinize people because
it's it's sad, but I think it's just part of
the entertainment aspect of it, you know, like other sports.
But yeah, when it's your homies, it really suck. But
(39:44):
I feel like, I don't know, it's so hard not
to respond.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
I feel like all of us are in the same boat,
Like none of us really like stick our hands into
it anymore.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
I think of a few things that I could respond
to right now that I just can't. Yeah, I'm like,
it's hard. It's hard for people are so certain and
they don't have all the facts, and they shouldn't have
all the facts, and you just have to be like,
you know what life goes on and I'm doing here
(40:15):
for entertainment and this is what's entertaining you and it's fine.
Doesn't change who we are. So it's tough. But anyways, Yeah,
so I guess in summary of this episode, congratulations huge
to Missy for winning back to back events, one of
them being a major, her second major ever. I really
really want to have her on the show. I would
(40:36):
much rather do it in person, but I'm going to
reach out to her and see if our schedules align
because the next time I'll be on the road isn't
until Des Moines, so that's kind of crazy because it's
coming up soon far. Yeah, so I feel like she
will either win a lot before then and then we'll
have a lot to talk about and then another off week,
(41:01):
so I guess you'll see what we have coming up.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Hannah, you have to practice so we can be everyone
at the Creator's Challenge.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
No, I really do have to practice.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
That was my motivation for going out on Sunday. It's
like I gotta go throw some discs.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
I know.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I missed the days when I used to be on
tour just for the sole reason of knowing my bag
forwards and backwards and being able to go to any
course and just play well because you just knew your
entire bag. I had like four different bags that I
could use. There's a lot of disks in my house. Okay,
they're not really pretty. They keep coming out with new ones.
(41:39):
They came out with like confetti lunas or something, and
they're really cool and I want one.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Isn't that wild?
Speaker 5 (41:44):
I keep saying new plastic come out and people are like, oh,
you didn't know that was coming out, And I was like, dude, Like,
Halo plastic was.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Cool to me three years ago.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Proto Glow, Halo Star plastic.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, and they're really pretty. Yeah. All right, Well, love
you guys.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Love you. Thanks, thanks for parting. Thanks thank.
