The liveforthepage Podcast Episode 3: Zach

When I decided to start a podcast there was one person who couldn’t refuse. I met my best friend Zach while we were training to be associates at Discover. We worked together to the amusement of our fellow employees and even took a trip to Arizona together in 2015.

There is no amount of praise I can put upon him that would justify what he has meant to me over the years. This is our first podcast where we talk about Ohio State, his favorite subject, and his prowess as a gamer.

We get into Manchester United and the hopelessness there, and of course the fact that we are polar opposites politically, and love each other despite that.

The liveforthepage Podcast Episode 2: Uncle D

My uncle Dan is no stranger to a microphone or an involuntary laugh from those listening to him tell a story. It was a pleasure to have him join the podcast as we discuss the Buckeyes, his time at Ohio State, music, Delphos pizza and I wish we could have got to the merits of drinking on air.

I hope you enjoy the second podcast on the site, much more to come.

For the LIV of the Game

I wanted to let this ferment a little bit before I weighed in on it, but I can’t wait any longer. LIV golf is an abomination. I haven’t watched a single frame of the actual golf, but I have paid attention as a story, and it’s a horrible one.

I never thought there would be a group of professional athletes that would give investment bankers a run for their money in the category of moral bankruptcy, but here I am surprised. When we used to see pay-for-play scandals with college athletes in the pre-NIL world, one always wanted to the side with the kid, ‘getting the bag’ this is the exact opposite.

This was an occurrence of already wealthy people shamelessly taking massive amounts of money from a country that murdered a journalist and funded and carried out the attack on 9/11. If we as a country were not so dependent on them for oil, they would be speaking English by now, and their women would have rights.

One other person I don’t want to let off the hook here is John Daly, I have always been a fan. That is, until he went on Piers Morgan and explained that he begged Greg Norman to let him join the LIV tour, and said of the crown prince, ‘The Prince of Saudi Arabia is a great guy and he’s given so much money to golfers that deserve it.’

No John, he’s not a great guy, you know who is though? Tiger. Fucking. Woods. He reportedly turned down close to eight-hundred-million dollars to join the retirement from relevance tour. Hopefully he will get a lucrative new endorsement with Suave, because he doesn’t need to participate in sports-washing, he just uses soap like the rest of us.
