00:00:11.634 --> 00:00:12.775
What is up everybody?
00:00:12.775 --> 00:00:18.082
Welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight podcast hitting the big milestone here tonight.
00:00:18.082 --> 00:00:20.646
It is number 250.
00:00:20.646 --> 00:00:39.982
Can't believe, when Ryan Hardenbrook and myself started this way back in the spring of 2019, that 250 episodes later, or 249 later, we'd still be having this show and still talking golf now on a weekly basis, thanks to Joe, jeremy and Jan.
00:00:39.982 --> 00:00:46.386
And we have a special guest joining us this evening, all the way from the East Coast, mr Cameron Kelly.
00:00:46.386 --> 00:00:47.249
How you doing tonight, sir?
00:00:48.161 --> 00:00:49.125
Hey, fellas, doing well.
00:00:49.125 --> 00:00:51.101
Appreciate you having me on the Persimmon.
00:00:51.161 --> 00:00:54.049
Prince, the King of the Bowls, what else you got?
00:00:54.049 --> 00:00:54.832
What are the other?
00:00:54.851 --> 00:00:56.622
names you have.
00:00:56.622 --> 00:01:00.409
Oh God, is it pretentious just to name them off?
00:01:00.430 --> 00:01:03.262
Because I feel so bad, fire away, fire away.
00:01:03.381 --> 00:01:11.388
It was like Persimmon, Prince, King of the Bowls, Mad King, you know, with the whole King Collective doing that, I don't know.
00:01:11.388 --> 00:01:16.724
Just a lot of different things, whether it be Persimmon or event related.
00:01:16.724 --> 00:01:21.561
People like to don names but some stick, some don't Love it.
00:01:22.024 --> 00:01:30.094
So we'll be getting into what Cam does with the Kingdom and all his golf adventures here in a little while.
00:01:30.094 --> 00:01:38.054
First off, we got to give some love to the Golf Stop, the new facility here in Henderson.
00:01:38.054 --> 00:01:48.185
That is an indoor track man lounge that you know we've been frequenting and they're new proud sponsor of the show, so I want to thank them for that.
00:01:48.185 --> 00:01:50.811
Jeremy and I went in there last week, played some.
00:01:50.811 --> 00:01:52.644
Where do we play Wilshire?
00:01:52.644 --> 00:01:55.656
Yeah, wilshire, wilshire Country Club.
00:01:55.736 --> 00:01:57.581
I put together a little YouTube video of that.
00:01:57.581 --> 00:02:08.292
I tried to get every shot, but I also forgot that when you record a long time with an iPhone, your battery dies really fast, so we didn't get all the holes.
00:02:08.292 --> 00:02:11.329
But thank you for everybody that has watched that video and liked it.
00:02:11.329 --> 00:02:15.147
Also, thanks to all the new subscribers who have hopped on YouTube.
00:02:15.147 --> 00:02:23.122
I did a little blast today, sent out a message to all the people that have been on the show saying hey, you know, thank you so much for helping us get here.
00:02:23.122 --> 00:02:26.090
We got our big episode tonight for 250.

If you want to share it, please do.
00:02:27.341 --> 00:02:43.829
Really happy with some of the people that have and, as expected, you know, got a lot of cricket sounds from quite a few people, but you know there's some people that aren't even in around anymore, so it can be tough.
00:02:44.629 --> 00:02:45.852
Travis was a big cricket.
00:02:45.852 --> 00:02:47.093

Yeah yeah, travis from PGA memes he gave us a shout out.
00:02:50.353 --> 00:02:58.097
He was one of the first interviews we ever had on the show and you know it was awesome.
00:02:58.097 --> 00:02:58.658
I reached out to him.
00:02:58.658 --> 00:03:00.204
That was one I wasn't expecting to get back.
00:03:00.204 --> 00:03:06.061
He's kind of blown up even more since then and it was awesome.
00:03:06.061 --> 00:03:06.622
He was like hell.
00:03:06.622 --> 00:03:08.426

Some of these people that are no longer in business.
00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:33.304

At least Bryson can somewhat keep it on the course.
00:08:52.059 --> 00:09:07.480
Interesting so hopefully we get just as many people in the next 250 episodes, if not more, so that you can scroll through on the website chasing day podcastcom and see all the things.
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:12.623
There's a little section where you can click interview and it'll separate them so you can check all those out.
00:09:12.623 --> 00:09:15.192
And, hey, I want to give Joe some props.
00:09:15.192 --> 00:09:22.910
He connected with this artist that got us the new artwork, yeah, and that came out fantastic it's.
00:09:22.910 --> 00:09:24.374
I was really happy with that.
00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:27.950
He also did the artwork on your hat that you were wearing.
00:09:27.950 --> 00:09:33.888
Oh hey, he's the guy that did the Dice man Nice, the viral wave.
00:09:34.570 --> 00:09:36.214
So all right.
00:09:36.214 --> 00:09:40.062
So, cam, first, first what we're going to talk about, because you were in town for F1.
00:09:40.062 --> 00:09:51.010
And I know, look, I went back and I didn't know that on Spotify there's a section that pops up and says what do you think about this episode and you can comment.
00:09:51.010 --> 00:09:58.110
And somebody left a comment and I was like whoa cool, and it was too much lost Vegas, not enough golf.
00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:03.104
To the person that did it.
00:10:03.104 --> 00:10:06.879
If you're tuning back in, hey look, we are a golf podcast.
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:14.782
We do talk a lot of golf, but we also talk a lot of Vegas, because Vegas is a destination town for golf and a lot of other events.
00:10:15.383 --> 00:10:16.144
It's our home.
00:10:16.504 --> 00:10:25.471
And right now it is the buzz of the country because well, not because of the Raiders, but the Raiders are here, the Knights are here, the Aces are here.
00:10:25.471 --> 00:10:26.523
F1 was just here.
00:10:26.523 --> 00:10:27.664
The Super Bowl is coming.
00:10:28.187 --> 00:10:30.272
Dan knows all about the NFL are going on.
00:10:30.272 --> 00:10:31.682
Yep, the A's are coming.
00:10:33.285 --> 00:10:37.376
The A's are coming, it's, it's, it lives coming the Super Sonics.
00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:45.523
Vegas Super Sonics coming soon, say there's a projected huge NBA facility going to be built on the south end of the.
00:10:46.044 --> 00:10:46.525
Las Vegas.
00:10:46.525 --> 00:10:51.567
Boulevard too so where the stadium should be the future is going to be crazy here.
00:10:51.567 --> 00:10:53.683
Yeah.
00:10:53.683 --> 00:10:57.416
So, Cam was in town for F1, not golf.
00:10:57.416 --> 00:11:10.309
Yes, and I were dying to know you hang out with Joe for a little bit, so I'm sure he got some of the stories, but he held back a little bit and saved him for this.
00:11:10.309 --> 00:11:14.568
But let's get your overall assessment of what it was like being on the grounds.
00:11:15.581 --> 00:11:16.361
Sure, sure.
00:11:16.361 --> 00:11:23.842
So, being a pretty big F1 fan, I to give you some context I got some tickets.
00:11:23.842 --> 00:11:26.830
My fiance got us weekend passes last Christmas.
00:11:26.830 --> 00:11:30.565
So to say that we were dedicated on going is an understatement.
00:11:30.565 --> 00:11:32.590
So I was excited.
00:11:32.590 --> 00:11:34.041
I knew it was going to be a party.
00:11:34.041 --> 00:11:40.525
I was reluctant on, like, how the track was going to be, if it was actually going to be a legitimate track.
00:11:40.525 --> 00:11:43.701
I mean, obviously you can't come to Vegas and not go through the strip.
00:11:43.701 --> 00:11:47.437
So I'm like, okay, when I saw the timeline, this might be a little boring.
00:11:47.437 --> 00:11:49.261
Turned out to be the quite opposite.
00:11:49.261 --> 00:12:05.639
But going back to the grounds, we got there Thursday morning and things started kind of Thursday night One, I will say, being on the East Coast, the time fucking sucked because everything was at like the two in the morning.
00:12:05.658 --> 00:12:11.437
Doors would open at six, yeah, but then, like FB one started at 830, which was fine.
00:12:11.437 --> 00:12:18.692
Fb two is slated to start, I think, at 12, 1130, 12, yeah, 12.
00:12:18.692 --> 00:12:23.083
And then, like quality was at midnight, the race, luckily, was at 10.
00:12:23.083 --> 00:12:25.472
But I'm like this is fucking crazy.
00:12:25.472 --> 00:12:33.500
But I understand, like the in-betweens of what they had to do, because they opened up Las Vegas Boulevard every day after the race.
00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.529
They moved that barricade every single time.
00:12:35.529 --> 00:12:46.446
But so the first night of course everyone realizes FB one, fb two saw eight minutes or nine minutes of racing for whatever stupid amount of money that you paid for going for one day.
00:12:48.029 --> 00:12:54.807
My kind of issue was that it took me an hour and a half to get from the Cosmo to the sphere.
00:12:54.807 --> 00:12:56.672
So our tickets were in the sphere.
00:12:56.672 --> 00:12:58.446
We were in the T-Mobile fund zone.
00:12:58.446 --> 00:12:59.711
That was great.
00:12:59.711 --> 00:13:10.181
I think all the hospitality that they had was fantastic in typical Vegas form, but, oh my God, no one knew a damn thing about anything.
00:13:10.181 --> 00:13:19.080
Yes, so we get on the monorail, finally get off, and not until we're inside.
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:27.875
The Venetian casino is when someone says oh yeah, the sphere is this way for the copious amounts of people that are walking every day, so we get there.
00:13:27.875 --> 00:13:29.160
Once we get there, we figure it out.
00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:33.537
I was like, ok, I don't hit myself as much, but no, it was.
00:13:33.537 --> 00:13:36.364
For me it was kind of surreal just seeing the cars in person.
00:13:37.868 --> 00:13:39.913
In your first F1 event that you've attended.
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.393
Yeah, this was my first F1 event in person and it was something else, even for FB one.
00:13:46.393 --> 00:13:56.125
But yeah, no, I told Shannon, my fiance, right when that red flag happened they might cancel this, I don't know.
00:13:56.125 --> 00:14:06.611
And then when we saw like some, I started looking on on, you know, instagram and Twitter and, yeah, I'm like, ok, I don't like this, let's go, let's go back.
00:14:06.611 --> 00:14:08.663
Yeah, of course we go all this way.
00:14:08.663 --> 00:14:10.148
I'm like Sam, let's go back to the room.
00:14:10.148 --> 00:14:12.081
Well, luckily we got very blessed.
00:14:12.081 --> 00:14:18.451
We were staying at the Cosmo and we had a balcony where I could hell of a view back into the strip man, which was dope.
00:14:18.652 --> 00:14:25.230
So sure enough, I'm glad we did that because it got pushed back to like 230 local time.
00:14:25.230 --> 00:14:28.046
Yeah, and I don't know if you guys have talked to Jeff Marsh.
00:14:28.046 --> 00:14:29.455
Jeff Marsh was there shooting.
00:14:29.615 --> 00:14:29.998
Yeah yeah.
00:14:29.998 --> 00:14:32.009
He's supposed to get on the podcast some at some point.
00:14:32.009 --> 00:14:32.754
I've talked to him.
00:14:32.754 --> 00:14:34.721
One of you want to hear his stories.
00:14:34.863 --> 00:14:35.102
I was.
00:14:35.102 --> 00:14:36.567
I was messaging him back and forth.
00:14:36.567 --> 00:14:38.380
I don't think he got back until like 6 30.
00:14:38.581 --> 00:14:40.686
Yeah, oh, he said he didn't even go to sleep.
00:14:40.767 --> 00:14:42.671
Yeah, did it was.
00:14:42.671 --> 00:14:43.493
It was crazy.
00:14:43.493 --> 00:14:45.865
So, starting off that day, of course it was.
00:14:45.865 --> 00:14:46.667
It was wild.
00:14:46.667 --> 00:14:51.386
I think the other two days were great, but that was kind of everyone talks about.
00:14:51.386 --> 00:14:54.703
But at the end of the day, it's FB one, fb, right.
00:14:54.703 --> 00:14:55.886
I just want to see the cars.
00:14:55.886 --> 00:15:03.532
I couldn't get two shits like what else happened, and yeah, I wanted to see them longer than nine minutes, but it was good race, I think.
00:15:03.532 --> 00:15:07.227
To sum all that up, vegas did their thing.
00:15:07.227 --> 00:15:10.702
They were very gimmicky, they were overpriced and I think they saw that.
00:15:10.702 --> 00:15:16.442
However, it does trump Miami, I think, in every sense of the word.
00:15:16.442 --> 00:15:23.669
The only thing that probably puts it behind Austin is just Austin has been doing it for so long and it had a better racetrack.
00:15:23.669 --> 00:15:24.715
It's a better racetrack.
00:15:25.138 --> 00:15:26.202
I think it's going to get better.
00:15:26.202 --> 00:15:28.211
Obviously, next year's going to be better.
00:15:28.894 --> 00:15:39.592
I sure now that the drivers know about it, but I think it's really cool that it was just kind of a level playing field on what you were going to do and it brought a lot of excitement.
00:15:39.592 --> 00:15:48.432
And I think people shouldn't overlook the fact that it had, I think, one of the top number of overtakes for the season.
00:15:48.432 --> 00:15:55.389
That was the first time that Max Verstappen had actually been overtaken and arguably the best season of F1.
00:15:55.389 --> 00:15:57.080
Any of us will ever see in our lifetime.
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.009
Yeah, probably ridiculous ridiculous, but overall, I loved it.
00:16:01.009 --> 00:16:02.613
I would do it again.
00:16:02.613 --> 00:16:15.893
I would either do one of two things I would either not get tickets and get a really nice balcony and watch it and party with friends, or I would get more of a ticketed experience.
00:16:15.893 --> 00:16:23.043
But honestly, depending on what you want, you don't really need to get tickets, but the experience is really cool.
