    Barely Stable Podcast Episode 024 - Disc Golf Destinations and Dragons

    This week on the Barely Stable Podcast the boys take a look at Eagle McMahon's video on the release of the Wynn Dragon… But is the song and dance really a “Wynn” for Eagle?  Also, disc golf travel: we’ll have a preview of some new gear for traveling with your discs, and we’ll break down the must-have discs you should take if you can’t travel with your full bag.  Different climates and elevation can have a huge effect on how your discs fly.  The team goes over what some of the differences are and what to expect depending on where you’re playing.  Also Nick has a pimp new disc bag to show us, and Freeberg shares (a little too much) a story about a close call in the airport caused by having disc golf discs in his carry-on bag. Join us for all this, a breakdown on why society still needs bullies, and another AI wrap song that freaking slaps.  This is the Barely Stable Podcast, where the only rule is “Just Be Cool” POWER DISC GOLF ACADEMY CODE FOR 50% OFF: barelystable LOOT BAGS CODE: BSPOD Nick's List of Disc Golf Videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL224ELv6ufiX-wActF4HtkaurOawCV3sD&si=OuMey3CcyvlzYn6N www.barelystablepodcast.com www.pdga.com www.discgolfscene.com www.dgpt.com

    Barely Stable Podcast Episode 023 - Another Round comes to Austin

    The Barely Stable Podcast Episode 23 is here and this week we have HUGE News!! Austin is one of the best cities in the world for disc golf, and it’s about to get even better with an awesome new disc golf franchise coming to town. We’ll have more on that, and this week the team talks about slumps, and the methods they use to shake any issues and get back to playing well!    Nick did some traveling recently and was able to check out Another Round Disc Golf in Greenville and Salt Lake City. He was so impressed with the overall vibe and what they were doing for their respective communities, that he’s bringing one home to Austin TX that should open in the fall.   Slump Makers and Slump Breakers. What constitutes a slump? How do you get out of a slump when you’re in one, and does talking to your putters help?   And finally, what’s the most headband hits you’ve had in a single rated round? We’re betting a friend of the show had more at a recent tournament! Find out how many this week on the Barely Stable Podcast and remember: Just be Cool.       www.ANOTHERROUNDAUSTIN.com POWER DISC GOLF ACADEMY CODE FOR 50% OFF: barelystable LOOT BAGS CODE: BSPOD Nick's List of Disc Golf Videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL224ELv6ufiX-wActF4HtkaurOawCV3sD&si=OuMey3CcyvlzYn6N www.barelystablepodcast.com www.pdga.com www.discgolfscene.com www.dgpt.com

We’ll go over this in depth and hear about Freeberg’s unusual threats to his discs when they aren’t working properly. Playing alone is one of the best things you can do to learn your discs and improve your game. The boys talk about the differences going from solo rounds to tournament play and how they approach scoring on each. And finally, one of the crew hit an ACE this week.Find out who along with much more on this week’s episode of the Barley Stable Podcast, where it's okay to occasionally act a fool, as long as you remember to just be cool!

    Episode 21 of the Barely Stable Podcast is here! This week, we have a quick recap and some highlights from our Power Disc Golf Academy Doubles Challenge. We discuss a terrible new stamp design on a new disc release, and we have Special Guests Chris Juarez and Sydney Marler from Loot Bags in the studio for a full interview and an in depth look at what goes into making the best dry bag on the market. Loot bags are incredible, but the idea for that product is not the extent of cool ideas that Chris and Sydney have in store for us. We sit down with them and talk about some of the other awesome things that they're working on for us all to enjoy in the future. Also, after pointing out some issues with the PDGA pamphlet in a previous episode, Nick wanted to make sure to give credit where credit is due on a solid article in Disc Golfer Magazine. We'll have all this, a rare moment of forgiveness, and much more on this week's episode of the Barely Stable Podcast, where the only rule is to Just be Cool.    POWER DISC GOLF ACADEMY CODE FOR 50% OFF: barelystabel   LOOT BAGS CODE: BSPOD   Nick's List of Disc Golf Videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL224ELv6ufiX-wActF4HtkaurOawCV3sD&si=OuMey3CcyvlzYn6N   www.barelystablepodcast.com   www.pdga.com   www.discgolfscene.com   www.dgpt.com

    Barely Stable Podcast - Episode 018 - Am Scam, Nick Goes Off

    The Barely Stable Podcast is back and ready to hit hard with some big-time opinions about the PDGA and disc golf culture.  Does the PDGA need to wake up to the times?

Host’s Daniel Freeberg and Nick Barr talk about the ups and downs of local disc golf leagues.  The team discusses the differences between Sudden Death and Aggregate playoff systems, and figures out the best way for the DGPT to decide which to use and when.  And finally, you’ll get to see Producer Daniel Rigdon’s super awesome “Wrap it up Jerks” dance. Join us for the Barely Stable Podcast, where we have something for players old and new alike, and the only Rule is to Just be Cool!

    Barely Stable Podcast - Episode 017 - Snakes on a Course

    This week, The Barely Stable Boys discuss some serious issues with the PDGA and how they handle security, some less serious issues with local tournaments and how they handle unpopular changes, and they talk to a local disc golfer who survived a bite by a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. With the threat to the Music City Open Fresh in the minds of the disc golf world, the boys take a hard look at what was done, and what should be done to improve security and player safety at pro tournaments.  Moving closer to home, they discuss the Capital of Texas Open, and the loss of Roy G Guerrero Park as one of the courses for the AM’s to play in that tournament, and find out what NOT to do if you get bit by a venomous snake with the first rendition of Freeberg in the Field. All that and more including fantasy updates and the standard weekly shenanigans on the Barely Stable Podcast where they boys take you to school on how to Just be Cool.
