Come to Edmonton. We have 3 publicly owned courses. They're affordable, employ union labour, and provide a source of income to the municipality. Most golf courses objectively should not exist, but in rare cases they can be alright.
honorable mention to a very good variant of mini golf: Indoor Blacklight Minigolf, because everything is more fun with black lights
My favorite part of this episode is Rocz continuing to laugh at the eleventh consecutive "practice swing" joke
No, because we haven't used it to annihilate Deerborn Michcigan yet.
People who are disabled enough to need a golf cart, but can still play golf, are just ambulatory wheelchair users. They're not rare. They probably just get tired easily.
So I've worked on UK golf courses and shooting ranges and 100% of the people using golf buggies they hire at the courses are 50-60 year old men scamming the dole and pretending they have a back injury. These fuckwits have to use the buggies because they know if they've been reported then they will be followed (multiple men have been caught out like this) and potentially go to prison. Which is a good from me, because I've spent 20 years navigating the system for real disabled people, and it's these golfer scammers who make it infinitly harder to get help, especially if you actually do have a back injury.
Say what you will about golf courses, they're a great place to dispose of expired weed killer
Golf is The Worst. The courses in Hawaii are disproportionately damaging to the extremely delicate freshwater aquifers of the islands. Literally the worst possible land use. Also, I am once again requesting an episode on Aloha Airlines flight 243 since it's clear that Boeing still doesn't know how to make a 737 fuselage that will stay pressurized. I know you just did a plane explosive decompression, but how many bridge collapses have we had the privilege of following Rocz and Liam and Alice thru the twisted wreckage of?
We need to abandon all golf courses and use them to grow native plants or something.
We should have more things that force Rich People to directly buy food for poor people or else they lose social status and can't do the rich people things they want to do.
Thank you for doing an episode on this awful awful sport that could be good if we could just eliminate the elitist aspects.
regardless of our opinions for hoity-toity rich people golf we should all be pro mini-golf it is more environmentally conscious and is for the working class. also you got fun dioramas and water and settings and stuff its objectively better. can I play golf in a fake jungle? no, but I CAN play minigolf in it.
big ups
As a fellow leftist from a well off background, I identify with Justin saying "despite all this, I like golf"
I’m sort
the eating-communally thing reminds me of the Spartan communal mess. So I present, even more cursed than golf communism: Golf Sparta.
In case anyone is interested: I only listen to WTYP in my podcast app, and not having an RSS feed for the bonus episodes was killing me. Fortunately, Overcast (the best podcast app) has a feature where you can upload and play your own MP3 files. Therefore, I used yt-dlp (an easy to use, amazing CLI YouTube downloader) to download all the bonus episodes, and then uploaded them. In case anyone else wants to do the same thing, here is the yt-dlp command: yt-dlp --download-archive downloaded.txt --no-overwrites -ic --yes-playlist --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 --socket-timeout 5 --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata -o "%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnmst0j-3FuZZkV6_xgE5HlUzQqSrjVvO"
Thank you! The script works very well
Stupid question, but do you guys have any interest in opening a WTYP account on Bluesky? I got a bunch of invite codes & burning a hole in my pocket.
I went to college in Florida near where my grandparents lived in a town composed of many gated communities surrounding a golf course & country club. When visiting them as kids we always loved when the gators got up onto the course where we could see them from the lanai. This happened A LOT because alligators are as common as deer down there.
Golf bad except indoor UV multi storey themed mini golf and anything the javelinas want as well.
Bonus Cricket and Golf consecutively it is beginning to seem personal.
The Antipodes has those it unfortunately involves a lot of used oil on the putting surface
The episode starts with a death threat, couldn't be better
Much like Liam not respecting fish, I do not respect golf.
The only thing I really enjoyed about this episode was how angrily belligerent Liam and Alice were about being forced to participate.
Hey, you all. I sent a buncha legos via UPS, which should have arrived today. Can't get my tracking number to work. Hope that you got them in time!
You still have Curling, Alice
Street golf definitely exists in Portland. Nothing like going through SE Industrial and seeing a bunch of guys with clubs walking towards you looking like something out of Gangs of New York only to realize they are playing through.
at the 1 hour mark you're almost word for word reproducing the argumentation made in Falling Down (1993) without citing the source
Dont eat alfalfa you'll get lathyrism pdq
wishing the sport of golf a very die
Normalize a sport that utilizes a healthy ecosystem such as pursuit take-down and capture.
something I feel your golf media section lacked is mention of the anime birdie wing. A drama in which every twist is the result of either mafia or golf, but usually actually some ungodly combination of both. Also about wanting to kiss your rivals which feels relevant to this podcast in general 👍
They aren't points, they're STROKES. And the golfer that needs the fewest strokes to finish is the winner. Which, now that I think of it, is the same as the other great English sport, the ooky cookie.
lol
ALBANY MENTIONED
Y'all should do a skiing episode. It's got rich people forced to coexist with unwashed dirtbags, real estate scams, destruction of the natural environment, weird Austrian men, and people dying in avalanches.
Should bring Riley as a guest.
Justin was so happy about his new mic stand in the cricket episode. It seems it has turned against him rapidly
That early Mk VW Golf is “Jewish Racing Gold”
a
I really admire the work ethic
street golf = crossgolf
I like it when they suffer
Not a single exploding golf ball reference. *shakes head*
Also top golf is fun but from a building systems perspective is insane because they are basically like okay what if we build a building that is missing an entire wall but it's still air conditioned
Very much enjoying the half hearted censor beeps in this episode
Liam going off on one because his co-hosts have never seen Caddyshack is my new favourite.
Alice should get to have a little alfalfa as a treat!
Thank you to Justin for slagging on Alfalfa fields in AZ. I hate those wasteful bastards.
My city had a beloved mini golf course. When it was purchased most of the homemade obstacles and themed buildings were preserved and now have homes across the city. They even preserved the original neon sign. R.I.P. Magic Carpet Mini Golf
My favorite George Carlin routine was about his hatred of golf. His solution was to turn all golf courses into prisons to spite upper class neighborhoods. A bit misguided, but he got the spirit.
Watch Caddyshack!
Oddly timely because someone locally here in Minnesota was impaled with a golf club. I think the head broke off in the assault and the assailant then stabbed the poor guy.
the rich jerkoffs at Columbia Country Club in Maryland almost singlehandedly blocked a light rail project in the state for DECADES (because it would mess up their nice course views) and it was one of the more happier days of my life when it finally got approved and construction began.
"Macro Golf" sounds like you're baiting the furry x WTYP overlap.
The park a block south of my place was a golf course until very recently - it still shows as a golf course on Google satellite. It was converted into a park by the government. I cackled with glee when I found out.
The Pro-Am in Monterey was the bane of my existence for the entirety of undergrad. They let the cars park overflow near our campus and it sucked
Wearing my No Turfs No Terfs the pro-trans anti-golf association t-shirt (that I only realised after I bought it is stolen) while I listen. (https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/ejnoodles/no-terfs-and-no-turfs/)
brilliant start. immediate threats from Liam just made my shitty day so much better. stay salty dude.
"I'm thematically correct!" 🤣
Can we please get these bonus episodes on the podcast feed?
As a child I was extremely partial to grilled a alfalfa and provolone panini so I hope alfalfa is edible
It is for horses. You should be fine if you’re a horse
Before the depression my family had stake in a Jewish country club in suburban Chicago
/Make The Golf Course A Public Sex Forest
I love u all, devon ur an icon i hope ur well paid
Devon, they cannot possibly be paying you enough. Srsly.
Mary Queen of Scots loved golf, and I can't be mad at her for it. My Florida life dad though gets no empathy though.
I'm told she was also a big fan of billiards. There was a whole Lovejoy episode about it.
dont fix it its great
You have one of those human sized bouncy balls that people can get into and you play polo with monster trucks
Driving ranges and golf batting cage bars are acceptable
Roz needs to up his movie game.
The Golf industry shoots itself in it's own damn foot by not using native habitat... Golf course in a Desert? Keep it a desert. Golf course on a glacier? Snow golf! The Golf industry could quadruple their gear sales, and introduce new challenges.
In Nova Scotia golf is a game of the people. Most of the course is left boggy
The Hanging Golf Clubs of Babylon
So disappointed Alice didn’t realize what she said when Tiger Banks came out of her mouth. Very funny brain glitch - also implies the existence of a Tyra Woods
FDR was a keen golf enthusiast, and part of the new deal was used to build public golf courses.
Please do an episode on DMV teenage hockey/lacrosse players - like those Gonzaga kids. I really can’t think of a greater engineering disaster.
/Golf ball explodes -> "Well done 47. Now make for an exit"
street golf sounds like an excellent anti police tactic, no officer I'm not protesting - I'm just here playing a respectable rich people game, you can't arrest me, I'm rich, can't you tell from these expensive clubs I loo - eh, acquired from that burning sports emporium. Sorry about the bump on your head but I did shout fore so that makes it alright.
I've seen enough movies to know this is what's called foreshadowing
I got briefly excited and then disappointed that this was gonna be about nukes... I hope we get to hear about the engineering/environmental disaster that is the golf course though
In which Alice becomes a Golf Dalek. "EXPROPRIATE!!! EXPROPRIATE!!! EXPROPRIATE!!!"
Balls full of hydrochloric acid are how 1910s James Bond nearly died. Also, as a former Augusta resident, Augusta National is one of the most disgusting places I’ve ever seen on a societal and philosophical level.
Oddjob grinds the golf ball into powder in his fist, then goes 'ow ow ow ow ow'.
My friend who lives in New York has a membership at Trump Links in the Bronx, where one of the items on the drink menu is an "Ivankarita"
this is just D&D but golf the podcast
I don't like nukes, but this is pro nuke post so if you don't like it don't read it. The firebombing of Japan of japan killed more people, and if we hadn't nuked them, it is very likely 3-4x as many, if not more, Japanese citizens would probably have died to fire bombing alone. And the eventual land invasion of Japan would kill even more. Yes cancer sucks. Yes scientists and doctors treated surviving victims like lab rats. I'm not denying this. I don't think we should ever use them again. And yes, we were attempting to wave huge dick at the USSR. But... the sad truth is, we were allready killing massive numbers of Japanese civilians, in an arguably far more horrendous way. Not using nukes would have been objectively worse. Sorry, I'm a bad progressive.

George Carlin’s rant about golf is basically 100% accurate
Absolutely
time to reinstall golf for workgroups
Let me know when you're going to Microcenter I need to see this.
this is one of the episodes of all time
Truly truly started crying with laughter at 4:32, Alice: I don't know what that means, why are the doors locked?
Begging for an update to the audio-only bonus feed - these shows get me through miserable drives all the time because even though car bad I have to drive mine to work.
I will take the thumbnail at face value and endorse thermonuclear warfare.
What is golf
no, why is golf
Last time I checked, yeah, that’s definitely what’s on the other side of the Hudson River.
Eh, don't try too hard Devon
Your thumbnails never fail to delight me every single time
Exactly what I need for my third round of Covid.
This is just the kind of entertainment I need before being called in to unload a truck of transgender propaganda at Woke Target.
“unload[ing] a truck of transgender propaganda” doesn’t exactly sound safe for anyone’s work other than yours apparently.
The atom bomb was good because it gave us Godzilla, Threads, and The Day After.
And Anime.
They should definitely leave the picture as it is, funny as hell.
What could possibly need changing?
ah yes the return of roz's basement thermonuclear weapon
It's not his thermonuclear weapon, he's just looking after it.
Yes the commies are killpeopleist let's fucking go
How else do you think the reactors work?!?
Jesus Christ that's a great cover photo for a Golf episode
Devon strikes again!
Waiting for the secret episode to drop, up there with Liam’s poison pill eps
