But don\u2019t worry! Chill out. Sam is fine, the sausages were braised to perfection. Oh and James is alright too. Then things take a unique turn in the grand and hallowed history of the pod\u2026.they talk golf. Now hold on to yr equine creatures! I know maybe you\u2019re thinking, golf is gross, I hate golf, I have no interest in golf. However, bear with us here. This pod attempts and achieves the impossible, much as The TickyOff Boyz have done throughout their incredible podcasting career. Fortunately they, and you, have a hell of a sensei on board to yap up a storm about why maybe golf isn\u2019t quite what you think it is. That wise shaman is none other than New York Times bestselling author Tom Coyne calling in from Philadelphia. Tom talks about walking the perimeter of Ireland playing every single golf course and eating many kebabs, finding community and less division than you might expect travelling across America, why he\u2019s anti-mayo in salads and he also explains the wonders of the Burger Dog. There\u2019s discussion as to why golf maybe isn\u2019t just your grandfather\u2019s game these days and he reveals the place he could eat at least ten Georgia peach ice cream sandwiches\u2026 Finally, there\u2019s the long awaited return of Who Eats What? and Tom tells the best ghost sighting tale you\u2019ve ever had on TickyOff. It\u2019s TickyOff, it\u2019s golf, it\u2019s one of the loveliest people we\u2019ve ever had on and you need it in yer ears people. Trust us. Wake up.
