About this episode
The PNC Championship with Charlie and Tiger, Christmas music, and more on this week's episode, hosted by Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and Alex and Michael are ready for it (1:52). The PNC Championship included a lot of family duos, but all eyes were on Charlie and Tiger, and how Charlie was much better than Tiger (3:36). The DP World Tour heads to beautiful Mauritius this week, an island off the coast of Africa that is too beautiful to host a golf event (7:04). NBC Sports announced than Kevin Kisner is headed to the broadcast booth this year, and Alex is concerned the censors may have their work cut out for them (8:26). Over on our YouTube channel, you can catch Alex's adventure playing golf, eating BBQ tacos, and playing Vegas-style slots all in one day in Texas (9:38). It's the Holiday season, so Alex asks Michael to name the top 10 Christmas songs on the Billboard Hot 100 (10:34). The Holidays mean family movies, and Michael shares his review of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel, Wonka (12:54). Alex spent the money and watched the now streaming Era's Tour from Taylor Swift and shares his review (14:24). Past guest Matt Sheerer of WBZ News Radio in Boston had an amazing story this week of a Bostonian singer he found in the streets that will restore your faith in humanity (16:03). This week's guests as the owners of Dripping Springs Country Club, more than just a driving range outside of Austin, TX. You likely know Stephen and Doug Bradford from their appearance on "Wheel of Fortune," and their share stories from their time on the show, plus why Dripping Springs is so special (17:54). Christmas means basketball, and there are a bunch of great games on to catch (40:08). Christmas also means it's Bowl Season, which is now in full swing, and started with a horrible game for Michael's nearby Georgia Southern Eagles (40:58). In the NFL, it was another losing weekend for Alex's Patriots and Michael's Giants, who have come back down to earth after a string of victories (41:54). As we #AlwaysEndWithFood, it's all about what's on the menu for Christmas Eve and Christmas night (44:26). Support our friends!
