Week 161! Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means road trips, hometown nostalgia… and a lot of disc golf.

In this episode, we talk about heading back to Virginia, squeezing in early morning rounds, and the intense need to beat your friends at their own course.

Also:

• Losing a brand new disc in a canal (and making it worse)

• The emotional damage of watching it disappear forever

• Disc retriever failures

• “I’m done buying discs” (he was not done buying discs)

• Building the perfect bag before tournament season

It’s part travel episode, part disc golf therapy, and part competitive delusion. Enjoy!

Week 160! Tonight’s episode is one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had.

Becky joins us to share what it was like being the surrogate for Jess and James — and carrying the only embryo they had after Jessica’s cancer diagnosis.

That embryo was frozen for seven years.

There was one chance.

We talk about:

• Volunteering for surrogacy without hesitation

• IVF and the emotional weight of “one shot”

• Hematomas that mimicked miscarriage

• Hearing the heartbeat on the scariest day

• Managing POTS during pregnancy

• Waiting seven years for the right timing

It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. And it’s a reminder that sometimes the long wait has a purpose. Enjoy!

Week 158! This week on Deaf Dialogue:

• Dave becomes legally ordained in Florida in under 10 seconds.

• An Australian Shepherd absolutely loses his mind.

• LASIK turns out to be 20 seconds per eye and way more expensive than expected.

• And somehow we end up debating Amazon, marriage licenses, and vibrating dog collars.

We talk:

• Training collars vs chaos

• The surprisingly simple process of getting ordained

• Performing a wedding in Spain (but legally in Florida)

• LASIK jealousy and adult eyesight decline

• Whether Prime shipping is even worth it anymore

From barking dogs to “Father Dave,” it’s another completely normal week. Enjoy!

Week 157! Kyle went to two concerts in one weekend.

Now he’s congested, on antibiotics, and questioning a mysterious spider-bite-looking finger situation.

Worth it? Absolutely.

In this episode we break down:

• Lucy Dacus’ hometown show (and on-stage weddings)

• Tyler Childers and one of the most intentional stage productions we’ve ever seen

• Yellowcard absolutely crushing a redemption set

• Solo concert experiences

• Getting older but still refusing to sit down at shows

• And the universal post-concert illness

Plus: Minnesota trips, disc golf, mysterious finger cultures, and why naps hit different when you’re actually sick. Enjoy!

Week 156! In this episode of Deaf Dialogue, Dave unpacks the emotional rollercoaster of receiving a massive surprise from Kyle — excitement, guilt, pressure, shoulder injuries, and the terrifying feeling of “now I have to be good at this.”

We talk disc golf obsession, sports injuries, favorite discs, lost legends (RIP to the EMAC Truth stuck 100 feet up in a tree), and why receiving generosity can sometimes feel heavier than giving it.

Plus:

• The psychology of big gifts

• Shoulder anxiety and playing through pain

• Disc golf nerd-out (Latitude 64 Pure, Felons, Trespasses & more)

• The one that got away

It’s funny. It’s honest. It’s aggressively disc golf. Enjoy!

Week 155! We are joined by special guest Luke. Hear all that he has to say this week. Enjoy!

Week 154! This week we are challenging you to a game of Tip of My Tongue. I give a description and you have to guess the word. Let's test those vocabularies! Enjoy!

Week 153! I learned a lot about insurance, specifically dental insurance, and now you have to hear it too! Enjoy!

Week 152! We drove hours and hours for pasta sauce, just to have it explode in our faces? That can't be true, can it? Enjoy!

Week 151! Most friends have the idea of starting a bar, but with us, we want to start a disc golf company. Like real men. Enjoy!
