Olympic Hockey Highs, Miami 11 Nights, Golf Pool Pain & Why We Need a Friday Tee Time | Desert Donkeys Ep. 24

In Episode 24 of Desert Donkeys, the hosts recap the end of the Olympics with a focus on the men’s hockey final, praising Team USA’s goalie performance and a player who lost teeth before scoring the game-winner, while noting Canada’s recent string of runner-up finishes. They react to Pat McAfee paying a post-win tab at Miami’s E11EVEN and discuss Miami travel stories and real estate around the venue. The conversation shifts to a struggling golf pool on a new platform, their picks, and a detailed round at a Phoenix-area CC featuring birdies, triple bogeys, brutal bunkers, and how hard golf is mentally without regular play—prompting plans to book a Friday round. They touch on Middle East attacks impacting Dubai, soccer and Champions League/World Cup timing, a Tony Gonzalez 50th birthday trip and LA lunches, disappointing NBA load management at a Suns-Celtics game, spring traffic, March Madness, and a possible guest to talk college hoops and betting.
