In Episode 6 of Saturday Talks, Zach checks in from Ohio while Sam reports live from sunny Florida — and the boys go full golf sicko mode. Sam breaks down his upcoming round at PGA’s Port St. Lucie resort, compares Florida vs. Ohio golf conditions, and previews the courses the duo will play during their December Florida trip and next summer’s French Lick golf weekend.

The conversation shifts into real football — starting with a deep, honest breakdown of the Buckeyes heading into The Game. Concerns, confidence levels, matchup specifics, game-plan philosophy, and final score predictions are all on the table.

Then Zach unleashes a passionate rant about the Cincinnati Bengals front office, player development failures, draft misses, and the fear that they might waste Joe Burrow's prime. The NFL as a whole gets the Saturday Talks treatment too — surprises, disappointments, and fantasy heartbreak.

A full hour of golf, college football, NFL chaos, and classic Zach/Sam energy. Go Buckeyes & happy Saturday!
