The UD universe as we know it has been thrown into chaos as Jason and the Deucer turn the normal format on its head.  Unbeknownst to the rest of the crew, and in only 4 days time, devised what can only be described as the GREATEST TABLETOP GAME OF ALL TIME.  Complete with color coordinated dice, custom printed playing cards in sleeves, as well as a table full of snacks and a full case of Mt Dew Code Red, no effort was spared, and no detail was left behind. The game was a mystery and unfolded before Sean, Ryan and Alex as they set out  on their journey playing a round of disc golf at the Canyons.  They faced many an obstacle, and encountered many Dellwood characters - some well known, some soon-to-be known, and all unforgettable.  Follow along as this tenacious triumvirate navigates their way though what is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime, or at least a good few Thursdays worth.  

The guys bring in returning guest, first guest of the season, friend of the show, and birthday boy Dana Vicich to get into some of the most interesting and controversial issues in disc golf history.  They talk the real talk about Simon Lizotte leaving Discmania and hear from Dana a bit of what it was like from the inside.  They also outline the rapidly evolving Gannon Buhr vs. Prodigy lawsuit and what it might mean for disc golf going forward.  Dana brings everyone up to speed on the new exciting Discmania S-line releases and they even take a walk down memory lane as they bring up Dana's former sponsor Vibram and their resurgence into the game.Alex refers to himself as 'Hot-dog-fingers' for a good portion of the episode, and Sean is excited about some new 'swingers' show on netflix.  Ryan is jealous of Dana's pellet grill, and Jason finds a new silent way to eat potato chips.

The guys are back baby!  Sluggishly crawling out from their hibernating stasis, they decided to get started on a new season.  At their home in the ever improving CAB, things get rolling quickly as they tackle a topic disc golfers annually deliberate - renewing PDGA memberships.  What do you get for your money?  What happens when you don't renew?  Is the PDGA doing enough and what could they do to sweeten the pot?  They also give some details on some new, but certainly not widely known, PDGA rules and regulations.  There's also much talk about artificial intelligence and how easy it will become to create content like... this.... podcast... wait.... no...Meanwhile, Sean wants to start peddling night lights, and Alex still has scars from a 7pm bedtime.  Ryan is fed up with the misinterpretation of groundhogs day, and Jason wants to tell us about (...you're going to need to sit down for this one...) the GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME.

The guys sat down to wrap things up with a nice bow, and admittedly late enough that it could be given away for Christmas.   It was a whirlwind of a season, but they managed to stick to their ol' tried and true format.  As is tradition, they recap the season by doing a quick synopsis of memorable moments from each episode.  Sean cries over holiday moments past and present, and Alex cries over having to eat Slawdawg advent chocolate for 24 straight days.   Ryan cries while listening to his new home theatre setup, and Jason cries because it happened, not because its over.  

They finally did it.  The guys managed to drag in one of, if not THE voice of disc golf himself, the Disc Golf Guy - Terry Miller.  Early in the day before he joined them as a special guest at the Delly's, Terry joins them to chit chat about the past, present and future of disc golf media.  He gets into his early days as a fledgling vlogger and podcaster and brings us up to speed with what he thinks its going to take to keep that stone rolling downhill. Sean tries to hide his Terr-bear man crush.  Sheila takes over for an ill-fallen Alex, and performs a flawless 'Alex mailtime' impression.  Ryan becomes a plumber, and Jason finally gets the man off his back... probably.  

Its been a real scheduling whirlwind, but the guys were finally able to wrangle a long-awaited guest.  Tournament and League Director, Owner of Smooth Disc Golf and all-around great guy Steve Rachan joins the podcast and brings along his partner in crime, Megan Sumner, to get into their involvement in local disc golf and what they're doing behind the scenes.  They all discuss the history of Smooth Disc Golf,  how Steve's early disc golfing years shaped who he has become, and what may be in store for the future.  We also get a never-before UD exclusive scoop on some breaking news!Alex, unprompted, fills us in on the details of his first sexy-time encounter, while Sean divulges his plans for his 'Chicken-Mahal.'  Ryan throws his kid to the Demon, and Jason tries to get us all possessed.  

FINALLY.  56 days later.  The guys return to the CAB for another 'casting sesh and catch up with each other and find out what the hell has been happening these last few weeks.  Show format is completely thrown out the window in an uncontrolled chaos filled episode.  Segments are jumbled around, omitted, turned upside down, cats and dogs, living together... mass hysteria!  Also, Lauren Lakeberg happens to stop by and they all partake in a little 'flavor tripping' situation live on the mics.  Alex takes a bite of his first lemon, while Sean explains for the four thousandth time what he thought of Simon Lizotte's visit and video.  Ryan upgrades to full riding mower status, and Jason puts his foot down when it comes to how to run trivia.  

The guys welcome Leo 'Doc' Borowski back to discuss the events surrounding the once-again wildly successful 'Clash at the Canyons' tournament.  They get into how the tournament has turned into such a well-oiled machine - from the early planning stages, literally a year prior, to the ongoing work throughout the year, to the massive undertakings that had to be dealt with in the week leading up to the event.  Overcoming the unexpected is also discussed as weather, flora, and fauna all played a part in trying to sabotage the weekend.  Alex is trying to find a way to make Lockport closer to the city, while Ryan talks about how Lockport is now his new home.  Sean admits his initial fear of the most-intimidating Mr. Borowski, and Jason just can't wait for the day to be over so he can hit the road.  

The guys invite local player turned touring player turned DGPT commentator Brian Earhart to the show.... FINALLY.  They go through the entirety of his jam-packed disc golf career, from 2018 to the present.  Brian gives us an in-depth look at what it was like as a new touring player scraping by to get to the next event, how his relationship with other touring players helped shape his career, his continuing relationship with Discraft, and is current gig with DGPT.  He also talks about overcoming mental issues and what has helped him to look so excitedly into the future.  Sean is in FULL Clash at the Canyons mode, and Alex cannot wait to start Clash golf-cart duty.  Ryan reveals his obsession with parmesan-garlic fries, and Jason is OVER the 'Glizzies' craze.  

The CAB has become the default hang out for the guys as they bring in special guest Adam Ryan of 'Park'd for Parks'.  He proves to be a wealth of knowledge about bringing people together to work for a common goal - that goal being course and community improvement.  He gets into his approaches to working with parks departments, getting community members (even non-disc golfers) excited about volunteering time, and where the organization is heading in the not-so-distant future.  Alex is back to his old AWESOME ways while Sean fights the afternoon-nap crash.  Ryan is excited to meet his yearly movie quota in a matter of 2 days, and Jason is FURIOUS with the function of freeze-pops.  

Settling in to their now regular spot, the CAB is again fully loaded and the guys bring in long time professional OG disc golfer Chris Sprague.  His experience with the game is vast:  over 100 career wins and over $100k in total earnings, course design prowess with the famous Camden II under his belt, a slurry of disc golf related mini-games, and more than a few practical jokes up his sleeve.  He talks about his days competing against Ken Climo, what it was like to go on tour before google maps, and all the talent the touring young guns have.  Sean can't believe he has to explain what mystery packs are, while Alex tries to stay away from a word he thinks he uses too often.  Ryan explains why you shouldn't meet your heros, and Jason has.... once again... if you can believe it... found the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.  

The CAB is the location yet again for the guys as they welcome Mike Strauss to the podcast.  A disc golfer for over 28 years, Mike has taken to the study of form and conditioning.  He has provided the disc golf world with an endless source of training and coaching, and shares with the guys an overwhelming amount of disc golf info, and even took the guys out to Callahan Acres for a few before-the-podcast lessons.  He gets into the motivations for his passion for the sport, and dives deep into some of the common issues that disc golfers face with the physical and mental aspects of the game.Alex shows up to the recording with that swagger, and knows it, Sean gives a sneak peek into Callahan Acres and the progress made on the new course, and both Ryan and Jason are in full cool-dad mode.

Once again recording from the CAB, the guys bring in the GALS for what has now become a welcomed tradition with the 3rd rendition of the Hey Ladies episode.  Lauren Lakeberg, past guest of the show, stops by to discuss the newly minted Dellwood Magazine, and what it took to get things assembled.  Sheila Callahan, now officially the shows producer (!) is also on hand joined with Amy Laskowski of Birdie Babes to talk about their successful running of the 2nd annual Beltane women's tournament.   Sean is seeing his dreams of a bathroom with a 4 person shower come to fruitation, while Alex gives us a description of his own purgatory nightmare of a spare bathroom situation.  Ryan has been testing the longevity of the Dellwood magazine with spaghetti sauce, and Jason can't wait to get that inferno of a bucket hat off his head.  

The guys are surrounded by animals in the CAB (Callahan Acres Basement), as they bring in the rooster himself, Clayton Bielfuss of the Skulls Disc Golf Brotherhood.  He brings to light a recent and particularly unfortunate interaction with a particular local parks department concerning a particular beloved disc golf tournament.  They all discuss how important the relationships are with our disc golf courses, land owners, parks departments, and local communities and what can be done in the future to form a better bond for all involved.  Alex is surprised and impressed with Clayton's meat, while Sean gets deep into dumpsters.  Ryan explains how tournament financing works and why he's stinking rich, and Jason brings up a deep dark secret story that has to be heard to be believed.  

Brought to you once again from the Board Room at 933 above Embers TapHouse in Lockport, the guys invite Anthony Guzzo  to hangout,  have some drinks, and maybe give a few life lessons.  He is a life coach, founder of Everyday coffee, the host of the 'Everday with Anthony J' Podcast, and a self-proclaimed rec-for-life disc golfer.  In this Episode, we get into some heavy topics centered around the mental aspect of disc golf, as well as looking inward, self-reflection and self-worth, and how to apply that to the game of disc golf and life in general.  Also in the episode, Alex has had it with trade-show can koozies, while Sean is starting a new venture with some feathered additions to Callahan Acres.  Jason 'can't forget' how much of a JAM the Michael McDonald hit is, and Ryan has too many things to be fired up about.  

Showing their aptitude for adapting to any environment, the guys this time holed up in the CAB (Callahan Acres basement).  Joined by a cat, 2 dogs, many friends and some Little Caesar's pizza, they bring in guest Ali Baig of 'Baig of Tricks Entertainment".  The art and nuance of trivia is discussed, and Ali himself hosts a mini-round of trivia.  They also take a trip back to 1993 and dump a bag of POGs onto the table, as well as introduce their own version of a March elimination bracket with a game called 'Merch Madness'.Meanwhile Sean feels like going back into hibernation, and Alex is preparing to look his freshest once the weather turns.  Jason has had it with wine moms, and Ryan has a run in with kwik stiks.

The guys are back in their usual digs at the Board Room across from an unusually active 933 above Embers Tap House.  They bring in fellow disc golfer Kylie Rotolo to discuss the landscape of transgender disc golf and what the spotlight meant for FPO player Natalie Ryan during her play at the Las Vegas Challenge.  Kylie shares her personal experience with transitioning from male to female and brings context to controversy that follows transgender players in sporting events.  Meanwhile, Sean sucks down too much hot sauce and Alex invites everyone to his roller skating birthday party.  Ryan's mic decides not to work for a large portion of the episode, and you can take Jason out of Texas, but you apparently can't take the Texas out of Jason.  

The boys are back, baby!  From the board room at 933 above Embers Tap house in Lockport, IL, the guys have finally decided they like each other enough to get things back on track for season 3.  Its just the four of them on the mics this time, accompanied in studio by the ever present Sheila Callahan and Lauren Lakeberg.  Discussion meanders through all topics, including what was missed since the end of last season and what can be expected from 2022.   The guys get way too deep into the financials of dying discs, and ask for help from the Honorable Judge Jason.  Sean takes the lead on analyzing this year's uDisc course stats and the top 10 courses in the world.  Alex talks fight club, Ryan likes girls, and Jason tells us about the new GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME.AO The Mortgage Pro Chicagoland's go-to mortgage loan officer for disc golfers.

Located back at 933 above Embers Taphouse in Lockport - the guys finally decided to do a bonus episode and wrangled your favorite Trinity Shed-lifer and this year's Delly Emcee Anthony 'Twan' Rodriguez onto the mic.  Twan settles down with his 4th or 9th ol' fashioned (who's counting) while they all bask in the afterglow of the Delly's and what made it such a magical night.  They introduce the new putting league 'Hellwood' and what we can all expect from the new Hells Gate Haunted Mansion venue.   They also get way deep into a mailbag question about the new disc golf contracts floating around.  Alex is surprised, but not shocked at an hours worth of fart sounds, Sean looks to Sheila to help keep his body together for the upcoming season, and Jason gets overly aroused at a peek under Ryan's shirt.   (warning: explicit language was not censored in this episode)

The boys gathered back at the Barn at Callahan Acres for the last episode of the season.  They reminisced about Season 2 ala the style of the Season 1 recap, going episode by episode while Jason kept a timer going just to be able to cut Alex off whenever possible.  Sean delved deep into his diary once again, while Ryan actually may have briefly felt emotion during his fired up.  Alex smelled blood in the water, and Jason couldn't wait to tell us about the... wait for it... BEST instagram account of all time.
