    The crew settles back down at Callahan Acres to try and digest the giant meal that was the trip to Fox Prairie.  They discuss the course in more detail now that they have gotten the full picture from the Halley family - not just its history but what may be in its future.  They also chronical some of the nonsensical events that occured while on the way down and back.  After reminiscing, everyone gets an update on the Fantasy league.  There are plenty of spins to be spun and punishments to hand out.

    Sean steals Ryan's fired up for the Nth time and buys a weedwhacker, while Alex can't wait to be naked under a kimono.  Sheila has found the best kept secret in dining establishments, Ryan gets far to worked up about grass, and Jason is fired down about not being able to appreciate things like a teenage girl.

    Season 5 Episode 4 - UD Destination Fox Prairie: Build it and they will come

    Season 5 Episode 4 - UD Destination Fox Prairie: Build it and they will come

    The UD crew takes a short-lived, but unforgettable trek to southern Illinois to check out the new and highly rated Fox Prairie disc golf course.  They all expected to play some disc golf and interview Erin and Raegan Halley (course creators), but what they experienced made this the trip they'll remember forever.  
    Midway through their first round at Fox Prairie on day one, they were able to experience the eclipse of the sun in totality (a detail that the 'deucer had made come to fruitation when originally planning the trip - because of course she did), which set the perfect tone for the rest of what was to come.
    The whole Halley clan immediately made them feel like family, keeping them well fed, well entertained and well rested.  They were given ATV tours, scooter tricks demonstrations, history lessons, and full access to their massive barn.
    The next day, they were able to sit down and record with the Halleys and get into how the course was made and what makes it so special.   After recording, Erin and Raegan joined them for another round so they could fully absorb the course in all its detail.

    Sean immediately wants to move to southern Illinois, while Alex can't stop laughing at Jason's cartoon snoring.  Ryan might start shopping at Walmart again, and Jason can't help but compare disc golf to video games.

    Season 5 Episode 3 - Look what the Big Cat Dragged In with Ryan Stilson

    Season 5 Episode 3 - Look what the Big Cat Dragged In with Ryan Stilson

    The guys are fresh off the course, after testing some new tee pads at Callahan Acres. They sit down with long time disc golfer and new Dellwood Disc Golf employee Ryan Stilson.  They touch on a wide variety of topics, from cats, to pizza, to mullets and beyond.  Ryan outlines his very complicated vetting process for being accepted as a member of Team Gateway, and why that small grass-roots company has recently been so successful.  He also sheds light on the photo phenomenon he started and his transition from the white-collar life to the high life at Dellwood Disc Golf.   

    Fantasy Frisbee is also updated, as the streak continues for one lucky bastard.

    Sean gives himself an ultimatum for the team challenge, and Alex is off the chain.  Ryan whores out his house for cash, and Jason cheats on UD with another podcast.

    Season 5 Episode 2 - Risky Business: the Cost of Next Day Coverage with Andy Padula

    Season 5 Episode 2 - Risky Business: the Cost of Next Day Coverage with Andy Padula

    Season 5 is in full swing as the guys bring in former Jomez crew member Andy Padula to discuss the ups-and-downs of accepting a dream job touring with some of the pioneers of modern disc golf media.  His story poignantly illustrates the struggles and growing pains of a booming hobby-turned-business and why all that glitters is not gold.
    The Open at Austin is also added to the points totals in the Fantasy Frisbee Analytics and Reconnaissance Tournament, and it continues to show how many nuts blind squirrels can actually find.  Many wheels are spun and shenanigans ensue. 

    Sean opts for tee pads over zombie shelters, and Alex is seriously considering starting an Onlyfans account for the show.  Ryan is living in his own technological nightmare, and Jason makes us lose control.

    Season 5 Episode 1 - Disc Golf STILL RULEZ with Mike Apostolou

    Season 5?  Really?  

    The guys took a short break and now they're back at it baby!  They kick it off with special guest, good friend, and fellow tournament director Mike Apostolou to share with us some of the latest and 'greatest' PDGA rule changes.  While there are many, they try and tackle the most important and controversial revisions.  They discuss their opinions and predict whether or not they will make an impact on typical tournament play.  Also revealed is the crews' latest and greatest idea - a fantasy disc golf league the details of which must be heard to be truly appreciated.  

    Sean is super excited about his log, and Alex just wants to poke everyone in the eye.  Ryan is looking forward to peepee pants, and Jason blindly stumbles into a commanding lead in the crews' new venture.

    Season 4 Episode 18 - Dellwood and Dragons Finale

    Alright, all you nerds, dust off the D12s and make your your wizard robe still fits - it's the episode you've been anticipating since last spring!  Sean, Alex, and Ryan finally embark on their quest to save the Deucer from the smoke monster in the epic conclusion of Dellwood and Dragons!  

    Recorded in front of an audience of some of the podcast's most die-hard fans, the Trio makes their way through Trinity Links disc golf course.   Right from the start, they're hit with a barrage of surprises that make the journey an unforgettable one.  

    Alex might just have loaded dice, and Sean has forgotten the lyrics to every song he's ever heard.  Ryan can't stand drinking plastic, and Jason goes through some life changes that need to be seen (and heard) to be believed.
