NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Topgolf: the $1.5 billion mistake

At one point, Topgolf was called the best thing to happen to golf since Tiger Woods. But in January 2026, the entire business was sold to a private equity firm in what many considered a fire sale. The price was $1.1 billion, less than half of what the company had been worth just five years earlier.

Here’s the surprising part: during those five years, the business never stopped growing. Topgolf kept opening new locations, attracting new customers, and generating more revenue.

So how does a company with growing sales, expanding locations, and a popular brand lose so much value?

What went wrong? Was it bad management, changing consumer habits, or something deeper hidden in the business model?

This is the rise and fall of Topgolf, version two.

In the history of Saturday Night Live, this group was probably one of my favorite casts.

We’ve got all the comedy greats in here! I wish SNL could turn back the clock and churn out more skits like this one.

Matthew McConaughey shares the best breakup advice his mom ever gave him

“I remember breakups, heartbroken. She'd let us mourn. She was a great ear, very sensitive ear to pains like that, broken hearts”

“But only for a day. After a day, she'd crank up the AC/DC man and go like, ‘Now, get up. You're worth it. Her loss. Come on. Get out of bed’”

“Quit moping. Lift your head up. Come on buddy. We got this. Her loss”

“She’d give you the day. No more than that”

Eric Bischoff is setting the record straight on the moment that changed EVERYTHING. People love to debate what actually altered the course of wrestling history, but Bischoff is calling BULLSHIT on any narrative that ignores the arrival of Scott Hall.

He recalls the exact moment Hall walked through the crowd on Nitro, sparking a fuse that exploded into the most popular era in sports entertainment history. It was pure timing, a bored audience, and a total shift in the industry landscape. This was the REAL catalyst. 🧨

Peyton Manning’s 80-yard touchdown to Joey Kent on the first play of the game against Alabama in 1995.

The quick strike foreshadowed what was to come for the #Vols, a 41-14 win at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.

Matthew McConaughey straight up defended ego on Theo Von's podcast and honestly kinda blew my mind.

He said ego gets trashed too much. There's the toxic "look at me" version, sure. But the real one? That inner "I" where you know you're prepared, capable, and willing to go for it. The confidence that comes from judging yourself harder than anyone else. Without that, you got no real identity or direction.

This hit me. I spent years thinking killing the ego was the move. Now I'm rethinking it. That healthy drive feels necessary.

We've gone from arrogant show-offs to everyone acting fake-humble. A balanced ego might be what actually keeps you grounded and moving forward.

Do you see ego as mostly toxic, or can the healthy version actually push you to be better?

I had to do some deep file diving, but after all these years, I finally found the video!

Thanks to @William95274068 for sparking this search.

This video is a true treasure, with Lou talking about breaking the all time stolen bases record just a few days before this interview.

I hope you all enjoy it.

Lou was such a kind and personable man, and this video shows it.

Be a man your father would respect.

Be a man your mother would brag about.

Be a man your wife would depend upon.

Be a man your friends would die for.

Be a man your siblings would love to become.

And ABOVE all...

Be a man that GOD built you to BECOME.

Hal Needham requested Jerry Reed to write a theme song for "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977). Jerry Reed came up with the iconic theme song, "East Bound and Down" overnight.

When he played it for Needham, judging by his reactions, Reed thought that the song wasn't good enough & offered to rewrite the song if Needham found it unsatisfactory. Needham replied,

"You change one word, one note and I'll choke ya".

P.S: On this day, 49 years ago, "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) premiered in New York City, USA.

Before a man can truly succeed, he must learn to cut these 6 things off.

Some learn this at a young age, most men learn it when it's too late

1. Cut off the habit of chasing women: Don't cut off women from your life, cut the habit of chasing. Let me explain:

Tiger Woods steps up in a playoff and hits a 346 yard drive.

John Daly steps to the tee, outdrives Tiger by 11 yards, and then nonchalantly picks up his cig to take a drag before the ball even lands 🚬

This was the Tour I grew up with.
