The crew invites a long overdue guest to sit down and give the lay of the land on the new Joliet course.  Steve Behrens, right-hand man of former guest of the show Mark Grabavoy, sets the record straight on the course that has had everyone talking for the last several years.  They'll learn why it has taken as long as it has, and why you can't rush perfection.  Steve fills us in on the details and decisions that were made to make a world class course, and his motivations for all that hard work and time spent.  Spoilers: it's worth the wait.

Sean is inheriting a shoulder disorder from his brother, and Alex contributes his recent disc golf ability to his socks.  Ryan is just plain over it, and Jason (if you can possibly believe it) is excited about the GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME. 

Another heavy hitter guest joins the crew for the season's second episode: Mr. Mike Krupicka.  The man holds many titles - Illinois Disc Golf Hall of Famer, PDGA Illinois State Coordinator, IOS Tournament Director, and Chairperson of the PDGA Rules and Regulations Advisory Committee, to name a few.  The guys chat everything disc golf with Mike, including what it takes to keep over 170 yearly events on the Illinois tournament schedule running like clockwork and a bit of how the rules of disc golf evolve and grow.  We also dive into running the mammoth Club Challenge at Lemon Lake and how it got to be such a beloved monster event.

Mike also proves to be a worthy opponent in this episode's Trivia Portion of the Night. 

Alex mourns finding out his favorite disc is discontinued, and Sean minds his 'Ps and Qs' around our guest.  Ryan has an arguably indecent show-and-tell, and Jason reveals several childhood nicknames.  

Its really happening!  Season 6 is upon us and what better way to get things kicked off than to invite Dana Vicich to sit on the mics with us (for the 3rd time?!).  He's got some new credentials this time - Newly minted Head of Operations at Climo Disc golf.  He gives us the full run-down on how it all started, what it has taken this far to get a fledgling disc golf company to take flight, and what its like working one-on-one with Ken Climo - one of the greatest to ever play the game.  

The guys settle back into the groove after a long off season and try to work out a few of the kinks in getting this show on video as well - check it out on the youtube channel! @unstablediscoursepodcast

Sean conquers another hole at Dellwood, and Alex just wants to start playing again.  Ryan goes on a quest, and Jason just likes holding his (compact) disc in his hand.  

Its the season finale!  Probably.  

Mike Fierke joins the crew to talk about what its been like to run 10 years of the ever popular Movember Doubles tournament and what the it means to him to raise awareness and funds for such a worthy cause.  Things get a little heavier as they also discuss some mental health issues and what disc golf brings to the table to combat such an often undiagnosed, and easily dismissed issue.  

Sean hangs out with his friends and has a good time, and Alex is just a step in the bossman's ladder, but he's got dreams he'll never take away.  Ryan is elated over a warehouse full of hard wood, and Jason is still in love with a band he saw at Oysterfest in 2007.  

Why haven't they done this sooner?  The crew brings in Veteran Mike Conlee to give us insight on a new revitalization of a local course that has been too close to the chopping block.  He explains his method for speaking with the parks department and meeting them where they're at to advocate for our sport.  He also talks about the touring life, his sponsorship with Latitude 64, and how everyone hates him for this one genius traffic hack.  

The FFART season is also over - final scores are revealed and final spins are spun.  

Sean can't wait for Saturday mornings, while Alex is succumbing to the dark side of technology.   Ryan is probably a giant cheater, and Jason reveals the GREATEST VIDEO GAME OF ALL TIME.

Road Trip!  Again!

The crew was formally invited to take a trip around Lake Arvesta in South Haven Michigan and play the course with designer and Hall of Fame disc golfer Jim Schultz.  He sits in on the mic to talk about the the Lake Arvesta Sports Complex and how he fortunate he was to become a part of this amazing destination course.

Sean eyes big things for disc golf, and Alex tells the tale of an earlier dip in the lake.  Ryan's shed vibe has increased exponentially, and Jason dreams of a car from loooong ago.  

The crew has made their way to Fancher Farms, a mere stones throw from Callahan Acres, to officially christen the Shed and round-table some current events and general disc golf happenings.  They are joined by friend and past guest of the show, Mike Apostolou, to cover a variety of topics, including 888s, coffee with a K, why disc golfers should be paying more, and why its ok that half your friends don't play anymore. 

Sean has finally found gold in our area, and Alex just wants to have a piece of what Mike's got.  Ryan its stoked to be on his home turf, and Jason learns a life lesson. 

The crew is back together for another nonsensical episode, and this time they bring in long time listener/first time caller Geoff Chappelle.  He's a local Birdbrain club member, self-appointed number-cruncher, and all around good dude.  He gives us the ELI5 version of how disc golf statistics have and will continue to benefit the game and its players.  Locally, he has compiled data to improve the way his club's leagues and tournaments are run, and hopes to one day expand GeoffStatsLLC (not a real company) to a wider audience.

Sean can't believe Dellwood has been around for 10 years already, and Alex defines his passion for nugget ice.  Ryan doesn't understand why people won't just buy things they like, and Jason has just experienced the GREATEST CONCERT OF ALL TIME.  

The crew is back after a month(s) long hiatus for the summer rush.  They sit down to catch up (and mustard) with what has been a whirlwind of a disc golf summer.  They talk tournaments, new courses, video blogs, the fantasy league standings, aliens and the power of hummus.  

Sean rights the ship with the Channahon Park District, while Alex becomes LLLP.  Ryan can finally practice correctly (but won't), and Jason has a 'not-so-close encounter.'  

The crew records the last episode of the first half of season 5.  The first half is relatively normal, but then they take things outside at Callahan Acres to get their hands dirty.  Sheila films while the boys construct a teepad, from start to almost finish, and they do it in 90s sitcom fashion.  This episode is multimedia - check out the UD socials pages for the video portion of this episodes Gin and Juice.  

Meanwhile, Sean can only see danger in his future, and Alex has a secret neighbor poop-shamer.  Ryan can't get his mind out of the gutter, and Jason can't stay away from tasty salted pig parts.
