On today’s episode, Erik sits down with Dalton Hester (aka Daltoosh)—streamer, gamer, and golf diehard. They talk about staying sober on the course and how golf became both an outlet and a mirror. From the highs of gaming arenas to the quiet of a tee box, Dalton shares what keeps him grounded, what keeps him chasing, and why he still believes there might be something more after this life.

0:00.0 | Do you play competitive golf? No. Do you, do you put stakes down? |
0:07.5 | Oh, certainly, yeah. If that counts as competitive gambling with your friends, then certainly |
0:11.8 | I play competitive golf. How do you do in that environment? Pretty okay. I mean, it depends |
0:18.1 | on the day overall. Like, certainly I used to be a meltdown head case. |
0:22.3 | Okay. And I just, you know, black myself out if things were going bad. Around when would the meltdown occur? Like, was there a... |
0:28.9 | Pretty quick. If I made like a double and things would get hot in the head and then that would compound other mistakes. Right. And then it would just be just nuclear red alert. House of cards. Yeah, just bad. Yeah. Very, very feeble mental toughness. Are you a fragile person? I would say no, generally, but like I can beat the shit out of myself. Right. Most other people coming at me won't do too much. Right. |
0:55.3 | Because I like that. |
0:50.9 | I kind of lean into it. I like giving shit back. I'm trying not to do it as much anymore, but like with like streaming and people in my chat. Like when people, I love to look at the negative comments and ignore the 99 positive comments. I'll just be like, I don't like that. You pick. One negative. Ooh. And then what do you do? |
1:28.7 | Like, what's the one comment that you think you responded the best to that was negative? It's just anyone, like, if someone tells me I got, like, shit on or, like, you know, I, like, fell off or something like that. Like, just coming in to, like, just be a dickhead. Right. I'll be like, yeah, dude, it's pretty cool. You're using the time out of your day to watch me play video games. |
1:29.7 | You're a real fucking winner. |
1:25.3 | But then with saying that, I'm sending a complete, like, shot to everyone in the chat that is, like, supporting me. And I'm just, I'm a piece of shit. Yeah. Like, yeah, I'll just, I'll snap. Yeah. We've tempered it down quite a bit. |
1:30.7 | You know who does really well with that kind of stuff, like the negative comments that come in from people you've never met? |
1:47.5 | Gary V. We've tempered it down quite a bit. You know who does really well with that kind of stuff, like the negative comments that come in from people you've never met? |
1:49.9 | Gary V. Have you seen the way he talks about it? |
2:18.5 | I haven't seen the way he talks about it, but I do love the way he talks. It's funny. He's just got this whole take where he's like, he's basically like, I mean, he kind of takes a shot at them from like almost like a kindness angle where he's like, could you believe somebody with that much negative energy would come in and say something to someone they've never met? Like, you have to have compassion for this person. And he, you know, he's a really fast talker, so he says a lot in a short of rep time. But it is kind of like, it's funny, actually, do you know Ron White? |
2:19.3 | Yes. |
2:19.7 | Commuter? |
2:20.1 | Yes. |
2:21.7 | So I played golf with him recently. |
2:19.8 | Yeah, he's a member of Barton, right? Yeah, exactly. And we were talking about, yeah, I was with two guys. The other guy in the group, big Trump guy. All right. And so Ron and the other guy I'm playing golf with, they weren't going into it about Trump. |
3:12.0 | But what they could both agree on was that the biggest problem was actually not about the president. It was about the comment section, just in general. You know, because Ron's an older guy. And he's like, I hate the idea that anyone sort of can just sort of espouse some negative content. Oh, yeah's bad. Yeah, it's bad. There needs to, I think there needs to be like socials tied with accounts on the internet. I mean, the fact that you can just say whatever, you could just say whatever you want, it might not be true, you could just spread falsities wherever you want on any platform under any post at all the time. It's just awful. And like people, people obviously too yeah well you that's funny is I my feed has a lot of aviation stuff like airplanes okay specifically you know uh curiosity's like like a lot of times |
3:19.0 | it's like the disaster kind of stuff I feel like I was the first person to know that the survivor |
