    What if holiday gatherings were just an elaborate golf game, where every swing could spark a political debate? Join me on a cross-country journey with my loyal dog Sammy, as we navigate the delicate art of dodging contentious family discussions and explore the quirks of golf with my rule-bending buddy, Wi-Fi. Inspired by the likes of Trevor Noah, Joe Rogan, and Malcolm Gladwell, we dive into the wisdom of Yuval Noah Harari's "Sapiens" to ponder why we argue vehemently with friends about politics, yet remain unseen by the politicians we defend. Through this mix of humor and insight, find out if avoiding family disputes is a warning or simply a prophecy of what's bound to happen.

    Shift gears with us as we tackle the rise of movements like Me Too and Black Lives Matter, and their impact on today's climate of heightened sensitivities. With a comedic lens on cultural grievances—from our golf course misadventures to everyday annoyances like driving habits—we ponder the absurdity of being perpetually offended. Reflecting on the mental challenges faced by golfers like Justin Thomas, discover how personal struggles on the green can metaphorically mirror societal complexities. Whether it's on the fairway or around the family dinner table, this episode encourages finding common ground and maybe even laughing at life's little absurdities.
