Strapped (Peoria): Part 1, "Playing in Peoria"

We're back. After a long hiatus, the Strapped boys are headed to Peoria, Illinois, the city that raised the most money during our COVID donation drive. More than $15,000 was donated to the Jax Beach Golf Association, while the more than $6,000 raised by Peorians went to the River Cup Foundation.

[@dlangdale9]

Credit to the Nark for his impeccable editing on this one, Icarito's flash back moments overlay-ed with the music had me in tears of laughter.

[@brianperticari]

100% agree! This stuff is next level

[@dizzybartender]

Greatest moment in any video I’ve watched by them.

[@alexdavis1827]

Strapped boys are the best content NLU offers and it’s not even close.

[@gordongourlay4449]

I was WWOG ... but now firmly in the Strapped camp ... DJ has made a YUGE difference to NLU ...

[@kelenportera4464]

I second but Neil on Wild world of golf. Pure content

[@brianharmon5485]

"let's go make some Watson pars" is such an underrated line in this.

[@MegaBazzawazza]

God it’s been too long since dinner got away from us

[@jakeaerni8294]

i LOL'd at this comment

[@teddyconover1619]

St. Rappio is back and better than ever

[@jackcarlson5200]

Right after the FaceTime call I knew the mighty Icarus was among us.

[@jeremyl1417]

Jack Carlson Exactly🤣 When I saw that Neil was even after 9 I was internally begging that he would not make a call again😬

[@TheMikeMase]

every goddamn time man lmao

[@timyorke4465]

Neil’s debate with himself about Randy’s golf being equivalent to a George W Bush painting is just sublime. Welcome back boys!

[@gtaylor9218]

Randy looks so good on a bench..straight vibe'n

[@kylejoseph3214]

The editing on the Icarito moment in this episode had me in tears with laughter. I’ve never rooted for something more and then laughed so hard at the failure in my life. Very well done.

[@texasmetsfan]

Bylaws be damned, I screamed "DONT CALL THEM AGAIN" at my TV at 19:35

[@gtaylor9218]

The narc will hold them accountable...no call = sanctions. You know tron was praying for a slip up

[@shaggygolf4642]

Randy. Name that hybrid "George W". Love it boys.

[@jd131m]

Too long. Just name it "Dubbya". Short and sweet.

[@gilberthernandez5033]

"I'd hate to see you go too far down that road, Neil."..... hahaha Randy's reaction to Neil's new head space app. Gotta love the strap boys

[@jakeaerni8294]

Strapped is easily my favorite NLU content. Please keep it going. Big Randy and Icarito are an absolute duo...

[@ty1x190]

About 21:36 my anxiety was at an all time high. Just kept repeating my mantra: Don't let DJ play the music. Don't let DJ play the music. "Time is a flat circle. Lots of changes in the world, but some thing remain the same." -Icarito, 2020

[@obscuredbythecloud1175]

Nice use of Sufjan. As always, Strapped is my absolute favorite thing on KZbin. Neil and Randy are so relatable and genuine. Their chemistry is undeniable. DJ, your editing skills and musical selections are always on point and always improving. Great job!

[@brandoneady1550]

Once again, Randy is the best dude to have as a friend. Always out there to look after his boy Neil.

[@SteadyFlowFunk]

Thanks for using our jams

[@BS-zq3lq]

"16 bucks? Good luck finding a better deal." "Yep. Fun day." "Cut."

[@TheBlueDevilDuke]

oh boy we like this

[@PeoriaMusicLive]

This is awesome! I LOVE that you worked to include local music in the show... Great work! This definitely plays in Peoria.

[@carasim3]

Best line @ 9:07, "I would hate to see you go too far down that road Neil, some concerning things..." "let's go make some Watson pars"...love it! The mental struggle is real!

[@thestreakpodcast]

Mister Watson.

[@TCRBrad]

I don't think I've had my heart sink as much as it did at 23:42. We ALL knew what was coming. Great stuff as always, gents!

[@mark88reynolds]

there is no one who’s golf game resonates more to my own than Neil, eerie to watch on screen as it happens to me all too many times

[@andrewdean25]

Shoutout to the Pie man for consistently crushing the music selection!

[@jeffsherman2292]

Not from Peoria, but thank you for choosing to promote another small midwestern city. The content is always great and being able to see the soul of a town, that might otherwise be overlooked, makes me happy. Cheers!

[@ArmyGolfBC]

Best golf content on the planet right now. Editing is so good!

[@dtupy08]

The boys are back in town, we like this

[@stormzilla66]

The scene of them listening to the motivational golf app is fucking gold.

[@markbains4918]

These are the absolute best. DJ, awesome editing as always. And the local music was fantastic. Big fan of the Joe Stamm song.

[@evankuo667]

What was that song called?

[@markbains4918]

Evan Kuo “Goodbye, John.” Founded it on KZbin.

[@hurricaneheron]

How does this series keep getting better and better

[@jacobkarpowicz2253]

Can’t wait to see the best tee box in golf on display tonight

[@witafro2]

Growing up 20 minutes from Peoria, this warmed my soul. Some decent golf, some decent people and miles of corn fields to go around.

[@btcline044]

DJ, you may have missed your calling as a music supervisor for tv&movies. One of the better episodes yet. Great work boys!

[@Jwtexan2386]

Is it weird that I look forward to the music just as much as the golf? Always end up adding the songs to my playlist

[@allanthomson8969]

NLU is a great channel but strapped is above and beyond the best content on here. Please never change the line up and format. Have Randy and Neil wandering municipals in search of the mega bonus followed by DJ around the world forever!!! Having something similar where Tron and Solly do the same thing around the best and most exclusive courses in the world followed by DJ would be possibly a great watch too. Instead of Strapped, its called Cashed! One to experiment I think!

[@joshhassler4960]

Spent the last two months anticipating Peoria AZ. Needless to say, this is a great surprise

[@pilotboy7116]

Icarito: gets absolutely mind melted by the C-Suite Also Icarito: “I think I did it, I think I stood up to the demons” 😂

[@sirdavos9319]

Hop off a FaceTime with Tron and Sully, immediately hop on the bogey train.

[@gwhiz1957]

Beautiful views of West Peoria. Great drone footage.

[@cricko282]

Just when you think this couldn't possibly be better than the previous episodes it still delivers and then some. Best content on You Tube by a mile. How NLU only has 55K subscribers is an absolute mystery. Keep it up boys. This is entertainment.

[@jackbradley8897]

wow this really made my day better i’m so excited. all hail st. rappio

[@evilgti2000]

Thank god Strapped is back! I was starting to get the shakes.

[@wolfe952]

silly how stoked I was when this notification popped up. strapped boys are back BAY BAY!!!

[@peterjaeger5178]

Good to have something to brighten the spirits!!! Melbourne in full lock down. No golf for 8 weeks or so now. Congrats to Big Randy for not being shit!

[@andyreed498]

DJ w the all Peoria soundtrack was perfection. Some good tunes in there DJ!!

[@SheepyG-DGV]

I do enjoy coming home from a hard days work to see a new STRAPPED

[@MrDjslav5]

Awesome video Deeg! Thanks for the intro to Steady Flow! Great music choices as always pal, keep it up. Please!!

[@Merckxfan531]

Awesome content, boys. Editing and music are just the tops. Thank you.

[@joshuagillock7666]

Absolutely love the Strapped Boys and their dedication to making the game great again!!!

[@mattpoynter5243]

Great job guys!! I think this is what we all needed, a reminder of the warmth and heart of the little moments in life & golf. Its why we chase that little while ball around big fields.

[@jinxwinx9]

Keep putting yourselves in contention for the mega bonus boys, and keep up the awesome Strapped work!

[@RJKGolf]

Two takeaways. First, with how much Neil has improved and how long he hits it I get a vibe he's going to be really good one day. But not like too soon. In like 30 years he's just cleaning up at super senior events across the south. He'll just outlast the competition. Also, my buddies and I always say benches on the course property are so underrated. Everybody on a golf cart these days forces many facilities to either takeaway or ignore benches on the course. How comfy these boys are on a bench shows they're not fake and they enjoy a good walk.

[@bigrigrolling]

DJ...you drop in music that grabs me by the soul and makes me find new artists to add to my music rotation. Two minutes in and I’m having to pause and give Peace and Positivity a complete listen...kudos, sir

[@3johnyoung]

I love these! So glad to have the guys back. I'm riding hard with 'em. Just please post them all at once. Looking forward to the next one!

[@davidmiddlemast9030]

Watcher from Melbourne, Australia. We are still in lockdown here and needed this more than ever. Can't wait to get back on the course and enjoy a few cold beeeers.

[@PbD187]

Love Peoria area. I live an hour away in Springfield and lived in Pekin for two years. So many fun golf courses in the area.

[@joerufo1]

Welcome back, gentlemen. We needed this.

[@tanneroldenburger482]

The cutaway @ 21:31 is an all time NLU moment

[@11nmd]

Strapped is the best golf content there is by a large margin

[@morrisgallo8422]

Neil is so close!!!! Stop letting stuff get in your head, stick to your guns. Breaking par from any distance is tough and hard to do, so own it and cold beers all around when you do it. Randy's golf game is coming around. Good content guys. Love the strapped videos.

[@Blipsit]

SO HYPED FOR THIS! also, just took my new Walker Trolley out yesterday for its first 18 and OMG was it sweet.

[@kylefiedler7786]

Hell yeah!!!! I’ve been waiting for the strap boys to get back on the grind!

[@williamsedam3322]

Neal.. you are definitely the Icarus of KZbin golf brother. The quest for the elusive Mega Bonus continues...

[@tituscooke1345]

At this point when the FaceTime ends and the music starts I just start laughing

[@brokenbaggolf]

Totally just made my day hell my month! The boys are back in town!!!!!

[@briancheeseman7398]

I needed this content in the worst way. Thanks Strapped Boys I can't wait to watch this season unfold! Keep up the great work, even you Narc!

[@phishingwithphilthy]

Just an absolute delight to watch the boys play. Randy should starr his own mental app

[@padjobear]

Genuinely great work.. Great content and great editing.. Like GW, these are getting better all the time

[@adamcarland2833]

Watching this in lockdown in Melbourne makes me very happy and pretty shitty that we won't be playing here for some time. Keep up the content boys, it's keeping me half sane.

[@BradleyStamper]

The Merch Czar's swing is 🔥 at the moment 👊

[@caloudtpt]

The best episodes of Strapped are the Midwest ones....#Icarito.

[@erickranz]

Had a training at Bradley once, one of the worst towns I've ever been in. The next week I was in Muncie for a seminar at Ball State and it felt like I was in LA with how much better it was. Reminded me of the time I had Lyme Disease. I didn't realize how shitty having Lyme Disease was until I started taking antibiotics. Then every day felt amazing for like a month. So I guess if I had to say one good thing about Peoria is that after you've spent a week there, every other place you go will feel exciting.

[@isaacaiken8944]

These keep getting better and better.

[@zacharymears2729]

Never stop strapped boys

[@specialkCU]

Amazing work. Soooo much more enjoyable thank EAL.

[@shortitalianidiot]

"go, go, go...sit, sit, sit"-Icarito

[@jacobclingan6266]

Perhaps it is because I’m starved for content but man that might have been the best episode yet. You guys are awesome. If Neil is ever on 18 with a chance for the mega bonus I will be incredibly nervous.

[@FatboyShrek21]

Strapped and Tourist Sauce is as good as anything on TV. These 2 as good as any double act. Ably assisted by DJ

[@pmac2078]

Easily the best show no laying up makes

[@jacksoni349]

The boys are BACKKK!

[@MichaelWogamanGolf]

Great round Neil. Almost got the Mega. That course looks like something you could have fun playing every day. Especially for $16.

[@robertwalker4563]

This is a top 10 Icarito! Love it 🤣🤣

[@nickrenton5817]

Not much is more relatable than following the drop rules to a T, then absolutely bludgeoning the next chip shot into the muff.

[@Dooley14]

Top-notch again boys!!

[@vikingrocketable]

It’s so weird to find a video on my feed that’s of my hometown let alone a golfing video!!

[@BradleyDunlap]

That Sox hat that old DJ is sporting is straight fire!

[@johanemilsson7991]

Was rooting so hard for the megabonus! Awesome video!

[@paulahulme]

What a birthday treat for me. Love it! I would name the hybrid 'Steph' ... automatic from downtown :)

[@BFree1978]

Would be an interesting scene if Randy sneaks up and captures the mega bonus before Neil does... Icarito!

[@saturnin5970]

Neals swing is so pure like I don’t care if he icaritos more than not I could watch it all day

[@andrewflaherty8638]

when they music hits. god all the feels

[@jasondrake913]

Best golf content available anywhere. It escapes me why your follower numbers aren’t reflecting this?!

[@Shankedit]

Best duo in golf!

[@blackbird7672]

Such a fun watch...

[@jackyfife07]

so good!! favorite series you guys do!

[@rubenduplooy219]

Great to see you boys back at it!

[@richmulligan4765]

Greatest show on KZbin.

[@pikksara14]

Niiiiice intro !! Stoped just to wright this

[@3232jrob]

Big Randy!!!! Icarito!!!!! FINALLY!

[@MrDjslav5]

To criticize the course rating when your 3/4 complete on a good day seems counter productive. You guys should get your heads around the course ratings ahead of time, as much as possible so that Soly can not get in your heads. He is very effective with his 'question (doubt) your course choice' passive aggressiveness. Well done Soly, another win for the house!

[@tommybailey5769]

Absolutely LOVE the Avon Fields reference.
