I watched 30 hours of Drive to Survive, became an F1 fan, lost every Super Bowl bet, and then got real mad at the halftime show grass people.Bad Bunny’s halftime show turned the field into a massive sugarcane/grass set — and they didn’t dance. So naturally, I had thoughts.We cover:How unemployment breaks your sense of timeMy new F1 identity (McLaren, Lando, Max, etc.)Ferrari as the Cowboys of F1Pebble Beach Pro-Am picksOlympics sports that make no senseSuper Bowl LX halftime show takeAnd the greatest grass performance that never happened👇 Comment below:Did you think the halftime show grass should’ve danced?Also — who’s the F1 GOAT?00:00 Welcome Back & Time Loss03:10 Unemployment Brain06:05 Drive to Survive: F1 Obsession10:45 My F1 Teams (McLaren, Lando, Max)15:30 Ferrari = Cowboys?20:10 Scariest Crashes & F1 Humanity24:30 Olympics WTF Sports28:40 Golf: Waste Management & Chris Gotterup37:30 Pebble Beach Pro-Am Picks41:30 Super Bowl Bets Disaster45:10 Super Bowl Halftime Show RANT48:30 Grass Should’ve Danced

I break down this year’s Super Bowl matchup, give out my favorite bets (including spreads, totals, and anytime TDs), and talk about why this week feels like one of the best weeks in sports every single year.

From there, we dive into the WM Phoenix Open — the People’s Major — why Scotty Scheffler feels like an absolute lock, top-10 picks I’m riding with, and why watching courses you’ve actually played changes how you watch golf on TV.

We also recap the newest Birdie to Bogey YouTube video: 9 Holes, 9 Tacos. What started fun… got dark fast.

Plus:

• My sudden obsession with Formula 1 after binge-watching Drive to Survive

• Picking a driver vs picking a team (and why golf might decide it)

• Barstool’s The Yak being on an all-time heater

• Club fitting talk with Lake County Golf Academy & early thoughts on new TaylorMade tech

A little sports, a lot of golf, questionable food decisions, and zero planning — exactly how this show is supposed to feel.

The Bears are out… and I’m still not over it.

This episode is a full crash-out on why the Bears loss hurts more than it should, why it genuinely feels like Chicago should still be playing, and how watching other teams march toward the Super Bowl makes it worse. There’s Patriots shade, Seahawks reactions, and an honest look at what it feels like when your team actually feels ready — and then it’s over.

On the golf side, I break down my Farmers Insurance Open picks, talk Brooks Koepka’s return and what it means for the PGA Tour, and spend time on what Scotty Scheffler is doing right now — because it’s historic, and we’re watching something we might not see again for a long time.

We also get into chasing greatness, work ethic, content creation, and yes… my cat absolutely losing her mind while I’m trying to record.

If you’re a Bears fan, a golf fan, or just here for honest sports talk without the TV polish — this one’s for you.

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Kyle Suchsland Show.

This episode sets the tone for the show — raw, unscripted, and honest. Kyle talks through getting laid off, why it didn’t break him, and how it became the push to finally start something of his own.

Along the way, he dives into:

• What actually goes through your head after a corporate layoff

• Why betting on yourself matters (even when it’s uncomfortable)

• Chicago sports expectations and early Bears thoughts

• Golf storylines, PGA Tour vs LIV, and what fans really care about

• What this podcast is — and what it won’t be

This isn’t a highlight reel or hot-take factory. It’s real conversation, real opinions, and figuring things out in real time.

If you enjoy sports, golf, and honest conversations about life after a pivot — welcome to the show
