With the news of Ken Climo possibly moving to Discraft, how come you guys didn't mention the Mcbeth angle? He's talked many times about bringing the champ back into the sport, would be shocked if this wasn't driven by Paul himself. Could we see Climo/Mcbeth practice rounds? or just videos of Mcbeth playing old world's courses with Climo? Personally I don't think the main focus of this deal was the disc line as much as it is Climo getting his flowers vis a vis Mcbeth getting him to Discraft
I'd want Climo with all their team for media. He's got a great personality and I could see him working with FPO and MPO during their practice rounds.
"Everyone who doesn't agree with me should never be allowed to vote again" is certainly a personality trait to have 😂 looks real good when you think about it who's thought that way for 5 seconds
I wonder if Paul is paying for this out of his pocket, because that is the only way it makes sense.
I just wrote something similar! It’s a weird enough deal that maybe that’s the only way it makes sense.
Regarding Discraft marketing Kenny...put it together with maybe signing Isaac, put them plus Paul and Page in an ad. 25 World Championships.
An important note with the Isaac Detroit gate picture: his screen has him standing on the teepad of hole 1 of Pioneer Bay. He’s not in the middle of a round snapping a pic of where he’s sitting. He went there, opened up Disc Golf Valley, and snapped the pic to troll. No chance he’s going to Discraft or MVP.
The GOAT series by Discraft. New color glow. That would sell. Climo finally making money from disc golf, would make it possible for him to get out to events. Even if it is just making appearances, signing discs, putting on some clinics, it gets him back to being involved.
Ahhh,
I think someone named McBeth might object to that. A "The Champ" series might be more appropriate.
@ you lack vision. It will be a collab series with McBeth.

I thought that perhaps was what you meant, but wasn't sure because you didn't mention McBeth. If Paul wants that and Ken agrees then sure. It might be the best approach to sell discs. On the other hand, these two have been arguing for years about who is the GOAT.
@@joeblow2426 that argument is the point. It doesn’t matter which side you are on, it is still a GOAT series, because they are the two that are debated. If playing it up makes a few million dollars, why not?
Matty O and Westside seems like an easy one
Unpopular opinion, Ken Climo is not that relative to the current disc golf scene. Yes he is part of the history. But he has done nothing with disc golf in the current era and after he retired he chose to leave the sport. I don't think those that are currently in disc golf cares a whole lot about Climo as he has chosen not to stay in the sport.
Healthy sports hold up and promote their legends. The current tournament victories mean far less without the history and prestige behind them.
Ken didn’t “choose” to leave the sport. He retired like any other athlete and rode off into the sunset. Think Andrew Luck in football. Besides, there was far less money in disc golf back then and the dude had a family to raise. IMO him stepping away from the game to raise his daughter should be praised, not held against him.
Dude is gonna sell a ton of discs to boomers out of the gate and then we will see if discraft can create content / a disc line that gives him some staying power with the younger players.
Ideally that's the point of leaving Innova and getting with a company that will better market and promote for him.
Awful take. That's like saying Gretzky means nothing to hockey because all he does now is commentate sometimes. Which klimo has done as well. Legends need to stay promoted or else you have no idea where the sport came from. But I understand most disc golfers never played or know about other sports
Who?
Maybe not to the “new” scene but the diehards buying that own 100’s of discs will eat this up
Agree and love the aggressive answer Hunter gave for player of year
Foundation boys try not to talk over each other challenge: impossible
The constant hunter smile for konners number reads was so funny
That intro from Trevor was crazy
Trevors trivia would've been better if Konner actually talked through his answers as Hunter gave them
Definitely Another Round
I’d love to see a blend called “the champ plastic”
I was hoping Foundation had picked up Ken Climo. Imagine seeing Climo as the next imposter!
Dude can’t even play anymore
Even if Isaac was flying to Detroit, it could have been a layover location between him and Europe, i.e. Discmania or Latitude.
👀
It’s lit
Ken Climo 12 Claws incoming
No one doing paige pierce and discraft for in the bag is wild. I understand why Trevor is upset, the konner pick is a dub
"Ole Jim Kenner had a farm, E I E I O, and on that farm he had 2 goats, E I E I O....."
"With an upshot here, and a big putt there, E I E I O"......
I wonder if that video of Isaac at the airport was Ezra’s video going to Detroit
Isaac Robinson to Yicuun discs (or whatever the spelling is)
I think it is Yikun and that would bring them great visibility.
Ken Climo to Prodigy
I’d love to see Issac go to mvp
It’s such a weird and surprising move…and probably really smart…but the weirdness makes me wonder where is the money comes from. Is McBeth involved enough to even restructure his own contract to encourage Discraft to sign Climo?
Missy is my favorite, so I'm happy she won POTY aha 😅
Tiger Woods didn’t leave Nike, Nike pulled out of the golf club market…
Maybe a line of discs aimed at older players 😂, but I would buy one for sure.
Isaac Robinson to Dynamic Discs 😁
Putter bracket?
Ken is Jack and Paul is Tiger
Yeah I think Climo is pretty irrelevant, the one thing he has going for him is he’s the best commentator, and there’s a strong collector appeal. But idk how well is stuff would do. I would rather have Ezra, Uli, goose, AB, McBeth, Hammes, even Paige Pierce Discraft stuff
Discraft is a certified petting zoo
please consider deleting the intro music, my ears have perished
No Matty O and west side?!
Issac to Stokely discs, he told me.
I wonder if Dana has a non compete from house of discs. May be taking off from working in the industry because he has to.
Private equity firms are absolutely terrible places to work for. Culture is everything and I believe that had a factor in Dana’s “decision”
Companies are reportedly set to cut player salaries because the disc golf market has been declining post pandemic but Discraft has enough money to pay Climo 200K per year? Seems like an odd decision in the current market.
Konner HAS to make every game as long and difficult to play as possible. Who cares if you are wrong. Stop staring blankly at the camera. The mouth sounds while trying to think is nasty as well
Nice guy. Absolutely has no place a podcast. I don’t care what was going on in your head when you sucked at yet another game. This show does not need to be a three man crew.
I need the Climo jersey
Last few weeks I haven’t been able to find the voting poll on Insta or Twitter, am I missing something?
*Kristen Latt
Hunter is saying Kristin deserves it because she only played 15 events. That's insane lol. Less played events is not a positive thing
It’s not in and of itself, but it’s the fact she had better season stats with fewer chances to acquire them which makes it more impressive. Hitting 30 home runs in 30 games is much more impressive than hitting 35 in 160.
I am a hard core disc buyer . I have 300+ discs including over 75 signature discraft discs that are brand new and unthrown. I have 0 interest in buying anything Ken. I’d much rather buy discs for players I enjoy watching and help keep these players on tour.
My opinion, but this seems like a waste
The Climo move makes zero sense. He’s going to promote discs he’s never thrown? He had history with Innova. He has no relation to Discraft? How is this going to work?
Conner ruins this pod 😢
Every pod.
I have a Climo wraith because it was a cool color. Had no clue who the guy was. I wouldn't pay anything for a non current player. This move makes no sense unless discraft is a front for drug running or something.
I know tons of people who will pay for a new disc with Climo’s name on it. Myself included.
Trevor just had the worst draft of all time
Ken climo is the goat but he is not relevant in today's world. I have been playing disc golf starting in the early 90's and nobody knew anything about him. Sure his.name was on disc but we had no film or access to see him play. There was no internet . Wish him well
Konner shouldn’t qualify
I have a brilliant idea. How about getting more stock for the Shaman and Cash instead of selling out in 10 seconds. Thanks
