255 00:09:50,149 --> 00:09:51,269 and pick me up at 8 p.m. 256 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:53,784 at the par-3 course, and I just did it all day. 257 00:09:53,784 --> 00:09:58,684 And as soon as I turned 15, I got a job at the golf course, went to college for professional 258 00:09:58,745 --> 00:10:03,865 golf management only for two years, came home, got an assistant pro job, and then I just lost 259 00:10:03,865 --> 00:10:05,625 my love for it for a little while. 260 00:10:05,625 --> 00:10:08,750 Took a couple of years off, and then COVID hit.

371 00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:31,769 He does. 372 00:14:31,769 --> 00:14:32,089 He does. 373 00:14:32,089 --> 00:14:32,669 He does. 374 00:14:33,049 --> 00:14:35,950 Just like the cadence and everything, it's really good.
375 00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:41,545 Just over time of doing podcasts and teaching, like, teaching people how to have, like, a 376 00:14:41,545 --> 00:14:46,504 cadence and, like, how to emphasize certain words in order to make it more impactful things 377 00:14:46,504 --> 00:14:46,825 to grow 378 00:14:46,825 --> 00:14:47,225 your seed. 379 00:14:47,225 --> 00:14:49,305 I mean, just the way you're doing it is crazy. 380 00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:50,425 It's insanely good, man. 381 00:14:50,825 --> 00:14:52,745 Did you listen to Sports Talk Radio or 382 00:14:52,745 --> 00:14:53,144 anything?
383 00:14:53,144 --> 00:14:58,120 So Dan Patrick is my absolute favorite, and then I gotta say, I love the energy that Pat 384 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,660 McAfee brings to the table. 385 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,680 So I like to think of this show as kind of the merge between the two of those guys where you 386 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:10,774 kinda have a serious Dan Patrick, but his cadence is so good, and his comedy is so dry. 387 00:15:11,075 --> 00:15:12,575 And then, obviously, with that and 388 00:15:12,855 --> 00:15:13,495 better, honestly. 389 00:15:13,794 --> 00:15:16,355 Well, I'm trying every day.
390 00:15:16,355 --> 00:15:16,855 Listen. 391 00:15:16,914 --> 00:15:21,690 Trying every day, but consistency is the absolute key to success. 392 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:27,449 Whether this podcast, we've released an episode every single week for three years now. 393 00:15:27,669 --> 00:15:32,789 And we're coming up to our three-year anniversary in March, and, man, like, it's a 394 00:15:32,789 --> 00:15:38,475 grind, but as you mentioned, as soon as you do it all the time and you're loving it, it's not 395 00:15:38,475 --> 00:15:39,115 work anymore.
396 00:15:39,115 --> 00:15:41,274 It's just it's an absolute blast to be able to do it. 397 00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:46,894 I will say about the video editing thing, it definitely helps, especially, like, YouTube. 398 00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:52,309 But the Instagram, like, I use this app called Splice, and I don't think I'd be able to use 399 00:15:52,309 --> 00:15:52,790 anything else. 400 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:54,070 I don't even know what I'm doing.
401 00:15:54,070 --> 00:15:59,350 Like, I just talk for a couple minutes, and then I split the video into a minute. 402 00:15:59,350 --> 00:16:01,990 And then, like, I just put it out and put some black and whites in there. 403 00:16:01,990 --> 00:16:07,235 Like, I don't have any video editing skills, but I think the cinematic aspects that I bring 404 00:16:07,235 --> 00:16:07,795 to it helps. 405 00:16:07,795 --> 00:16:10,274 And that's just black and whites and slow-mo's.
406 00:16:10,274 --> 00:16:10,915 It's not 407 00:16:11,075 --> 00:16:12,035 But it's enough. 408 00:16:12,035 --> 00:16:12,754 Like, it's enough. 409 00:16:12,754 --> 00:16:13,394 It is. 410 00:16:13,394 --> 00:16:13,894 Yeah.
411 00:16:14,035 --> 00:16:15,095 It's not enough. 412 00:16:15,154 --> 00:16:16,274 Acting's not my thing. 413 00:16:16,274 --> 00:16:17,735 I'm not like, you know, bullshit. 414 00:16:18,035 --> 00:16:18,855 Staying on that.
415 00:16:19,750 --> 00:16:21,509 It's tougher when there's people around. 416 00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:23,589 Like, I do that in a room by myself. 417 00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:25,829 It's easy that way. 418 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:30,709 It's a little more pressure when you get in a room with, like, Saint Andre and Beth Boys and 419 00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:32,389 those people who can act.
420 00:16:34,065 --> 00:16:36,065 But at the end of the day, it's all writing anyway. 421 00:16:36,065 --> 00:16:38,324 You still just gotta write it and make it. 422 00:16:38,784 --> 00:16:39,345 Oh, yeah. 423 00:16:39,345 --> 00:16:41,264 Well, I will say this about your editing.
424 00:16:41,264 --> 00:16:45,024 You found a template that you repeat, and it is perfect. 425 00:16:45,264 --> 00:16:47,730 It is so good because it hits. 426 00:16:47,730 --> 00:16:49,490 And the music you used to 427 00:16:49,490 --> 00:16:51,250 do is just so good. 428 00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:51,490 Really.
429 00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:53,970 Because I even had started a new, like, the, hi. 430 00:16:53,970 --> 00:16:54,610 My name is Sonny. 431 00:16:54,610 --> 00:16:55,889 I was kind of running out. 432 00:16:55,889 --> 00:16:57,970 Like, I think I could still go on and on with it.
433 00:16:57,970 --> 00:17:00,210 But then I just started doing this. 434 00:17:00,210 --> 00:17:04,545 This is a message for videos, and now I'm just gonna run through that with every kind of 435 00:17:04,545 --> 00:17:07,025 golfer there is, and they're just gonna go crazy. 436 00:17:07,025 --> 00:17:08,384 So it's just like that. 437 00:17:08,384 --> 00:17:11,984 You keep you do them, you do them out, and then you just do that little pivot, and it's all the 438 00:17:11,984 --> 00:17:12,625 same ideas.
439 00:17:12,625 --> 00:17:14,880 You just keep running in circles around, you know? 440 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,299 I wanna show you one 441 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:22,960 on the guy at the golf course that is, like, and I can't remember if this was exactly what 442 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,599 you said on it. 443 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:28,319 But didn't you do one around the guy who never plays and then all of a sudden just shows up 444 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,424 and is, like, says he hasn't played in three months? 445 00:17:31,724 --> 00:17:32,044 Yeah.
446 00:17:32,044 --> 00:17:32,
