Hello and welcome to episode 127 of the Thinking Elseat Podcast. This is Ben Olson in Washington, D.C. with Nathan Fox in Los Angeles.

How's it going, Nathan?

It's great, man. I'm packing up for, I've got a ton of golf in the next two weeks including I'm going to Oregon

Tomorrow I'm flying to Oregon so I'm packing like

Multiple sets of rain gear. It's kind of bizarre because it's 72 degrees of course here in Los Angeles and I'm packing up for golf with

stocking caps and waterproof boots and multiple layers of waterproof shit.

Yeah.

So wait, why, why Oregon?

Because there's a place in Oregon called Bandin Dunes, which is the most beautiful

golf place like just in the world, and I go up with a huge group of guys. We take 24 guys up there every February. We go in the

off season because the rates are way cheaper.

Rates for golf are cheap, rates for rooms are cheap.

And if you get lucky with the weather, it's like beautiful, perfect.

We've had years of perfect, beautiful weather, but the forecast right now for abandon is a little dicey so we're gonna we're gonna have to I'm gonna have to drink some whiskey and layer up. I need to go get some of those

hot hands things, you know those chemical pack things that you carry in your pockets?

Sure. I'm gonna get some of those.

Yeah, should be good.

Because I'm going to be outside literally all day in the rain.

Like we tee off at 7.30 a.m.

and we won't be in the house until 5 p.m. we play 36 every day

while we're there. Whoa 36 holes. Yeah that's a lot of golf.

It is a lot of golf. Well, it's also like an impossible place to get to.
