Off Season Contract Talk With Ezra Robinson

[@carolinachainbanger7561]

This should be titled Ezra listens the Brodie talk😂

[@chrisblockd]

that’s most brodie podcasts, are you new here? haha

You went insano mode in the leading questions on this one big fella. Just a note.

[@routhy46]

Really nice interview, Brodie, thanks!

[@pbodys16]

Appreciate the positivity!

[@kylejohnson5842]

Whatever was on the wall behind Ezra I thought was on my phone and was scraping at my screen for 20 seconds trying to get it off lol

[@brooksy3069]

BRODIE IS A F'ING GENIUS, 24 MIN MARK, BRODIE UNKNOWINGLY LAYS OUT A PRECISE "LIV GOLF' STRUCTURE OF TEAM GOLF WITH ALSO THE INDIVIDUAL ASPECT. you have the individual season, and the team cup season, culminating in both individual normal season, and the manufacturing cup. LIV GOLF IDEA TO DISCGOLF - brodie is right

[@jeffrodgers5376]

I would love to see a team tournament at the end of the year! That would be awesome! DO THIS!!

[@chrixlawl]

Q series are really good at showing off potential of courses to be on tour. For example KCWO was a Q series (silver before that) and it’ll be on tour next year, the q series was sort of an intro to make sure it would be possible to have a PT event.

[@mrw9216]

I would say the “team” aspect is the fact if your “teammates” are doing well or are a likable person it brings more eyes to the brand which also brings more eyes to you. Coming from a motocross background it’s the same thing with that. Talent brings attention, attention brings sales, sales bring talent.

[@TristanGoetz]

I love how many sports that Brodie is knowledgable in. F1, NBA, NFL, PGA, and I am sure MANY more.

[@lastchanceihave]

Prodigy vs. Discmania in 2024 would have been fun to see!

[@sgtkbj]

I like the team/mfr cup idea. Kinda like hs golf, top 4 scores counted in a match. It was fun.

[@jaredgroenewegen7800]

What Brodie is talking about is what Professional Bull Riding (PBR) is doing now.

[@rimrockcollective9543]

Good call

[@sgtkbj]

Yes, bigger purses! Outside money is needed to make these purses bigger.

[@clawshooter5867]

It could be like high school wrestling. Its still an individual sport but the team is competing dor individual points. Maybe each tournament has set number of points a manufacturer plays for

[@lastchanceihave]

The brands should be able to "challange" each other. The pot could have a bunch of sponsorships

[@tranquility2348]

Ezra is going to Discraft...I work here and he was here last week...

[@phoebewittwag622]

Booooooooo booooooooooo

[@jaxvaughan8168]

Leaky leakers

[@justinkocher2184]

That’s weird cuz I saw him on the course last week and he was throwing innova

[@mattrandall7836]

I hope he goes Discraft. Does this answer any questions for you Brodie? Disc Golf needs to follow the F1 model with teams until the purses get big enough.

[@benoitsouligny863]

Would love too see a manufactuor cup

[@benoitsouligny863]

Hockey,basketball, football all have off seasons where we want too see what free agent is going where…kinda same in disc golf

[@brooksy3069]

there is no switch that happens in sports from event payout increasing and contracts decreasing, not really possible. it is all connected and flows. THE ONLY WAY THE PRIZE MONEY GOES UP is to simply raise the money that comes into an event, which is money from sponsors. the money from sponsors go up, when viewership goes up, and ticket sales go up. athlete contracts do not impact disc golf event payout. the only way to raise money on payouts, is to raise the purse, which comes from sponsors, which comes from viewership.

[@Lexilou13]

This is an excellent idea Brodie!! It will absolutely bring so many more eyes to the sport, and it will make players play as well as they can possibly play!!!

[@tpd1399]

How difficult is it for pros to switch their entire bag?

[@scottdavis5076]

Ask Gannon Buuuuuhhhrrrrrrrr

[@cricketfilms1879]

not difficult but there are certain discs that make it easy. discs like cheater discs that just work like magic for you. if you switch you gotta find those discs all over

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

Not difficult. Gannon just had one of the best seasons ever. Mcbeth and Conrad won worlds their first year with their new brand.

[@tpd1399]

@ interesting. I look forward to seeing what Ezra can do this year. He’s been right there. Maybe this is that extra boost he needed

[@bosoxdanc1]

When you have essentially free access to as many discs you want, probably not too hard. People on groups are generally willing to part with absolute money runs if it means it will be in the top pros bag, so these dudes will have access to the cream of the crop right from the beginning.

[@phoebewittwag622]

Disc sales aren’t based on fans! This is a misconception. I own 250+ discs and have never bought a disc because of a stamp or player … HOWEVER! I buy discs based on flight, weight and color. Merchandise is sold on personality. More discs will be sold when announcers describe every disc thrown including specific weight. Wake TFU

[@ztsb_koneko]

Speak for yourself. Do you have the numbers to back that up on a broader scale? Don't get me wrong, I'm just like you, but if there is a disc I throw anyways and it's got a cool stamp, especially from a player I like, I'm 100% grabbing one or two.

[@Knoxiclean]

@@ztsb_koneko i agree with him, i buy discs cause they look good and they do what i want. not a mcbeth fan but i have a few discs that used to have his name on them in my bag because of the molds and plastic blends

[@joshcallaway3600]

you think everyone buys discs like you do!?

[@Knoxiclean]

@@joshcallaway3600 no but I do believe at the very least 50% of people don’t care about the name on a disc they purchase

[@NsquaredDG]

So much negativity. Hah. So far, I like the idea Brodie is pitching here. Definitely seems like we need some innovation/change to take the sport to the next level. I don't know if this is it, but definitely sounds exciting and there is some logic behind it. I don't understand the current funding scheme, players contracts, etc. enough to know the full outcome but keep on voicing your mind, Brodie! (didnt need to tell ya that, I know 😆)

[@brettbuttars2792]

Ezra mention “we” will be making an announcement in January. Sounds like Ezra/Isaac might be moving together. Hope so!!!

[@JJ79_]

We is just he and hes sponsor.

[@deepthreadsonly]

I think I’d love to see the flip in purse driving players rather than sponsorships, but Disc Golf just isn’t there yet. Money isn’t proportional from golf to DG. Golf pros are still making a COMFORTABLE living just on sponsorships while having opportunity for huge purse wins. If dg companies lowered sponsorship money to players anymore currently, there’d only be a handful of players freed up enough to travel and play. So while I agree that model is ultimately better, we just aren’t there yet. The question now becomes, how do you get there?

[@tattooedjohnson]

If the sponsorship money found it's way into the purses...but nope. Manufacturers give it to 5 or 6 dudes.

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

​@tattooedjohnson why would the sponsors be required to donate to the purse money?...

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

Would need to find businesses that found it's worth their investment to do this. Would be interested to talk to Barbasol and see how much benefit they have received in exchange for sponsoring the tour championship.

[@tattooedjohnson]

​@michaelmaniloff9297 very simple.. Better the event, more people will watch. I don't watch poker, but when it's for million bucks I will. Disc golf tournaments need bigger prize money, better trophies, make the audience feel like what they are watching is important. Let alllll the players get a Crack at the cash instead of top 5. Who cares if 1st gets 10k. That's a slot machine. Go beat a field like dgpt. It ain't ez if if your a top pro. The customers will buy the shwag if it's worthy

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

To add: With the DGPT still being a tiny thing in the sports world, esoecially in the sports-sarurated U.S., the DGPT needs to make its main product available for free to viewers. The DGPT literally will never grow their product at any decent rate by keeping most of it behind a paywall, even if the paywall is relatively low-cost to the audience, because it means more work on the audience's part, no matter what. It's just a basic marketing fact.

[@ethancasto1531]

The Robison brothers are the golden boys of the tour

[@Eaglemadhatter]

Maybe he can sign my 4x Zone

[@aaroncox1715]

I don’t think Broadie knows how much income golf courses/ country clubs make as apposed to disc golf courses/ tournaments.

[@travisharris1076]

Is it just me or did Ezra cut some weight?

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

He began working out hard going back to at least a year ago. He has posted about it at times, repping his local fitness place of choice, Ironwood.

[@phoebewittwag622]

Sponsorship should support expenses. Money should be directed exclusively to the pot. In other words, “wait to pay the band until after they’ve performed”. This is the reason disc golf is not recognized as a legitimate sport and why players don’t train off-season. And why there’s no reason to watch, because who cares if they win 1,000$.

[@brandongreen9381]

New world was sweet, now that the city took it over it has dropped.

[@U.S.AeroForceDiscGolf]

Disc Golf Professionalism is an Oxymoron

[@brooksy3069]

nobody knows how much these top pros can make. kevin jones hit an incredible decline in his performance, but as he was sucking, he was making over 22k a month on his contract with prodigy. ezra robinson to me is where KJ was when he got PAID. if im dynamic discs, i immediately stop paying kona a single cent, stop paying zach melton, stop paying ty love. I would sign Ezra 100% if im dd, and stop paying kona and insasne 125k a year for her to do literally nothing but play poorly

[@erichorn9858]

Brody you do a great job at getting people to talk to. But you easily talk 5min to their one minute.

[@pkel9082]

Adderall is my guess

[@tjdonohue7469]

Robinson's would be SUCH bros if they could at least toss a forearm on point, my starting point for them would be to train stand still hip rotations and using a one finger grip release and point/aim/follow thru

[@RoscoeDangerDude]

Robinsons to lat 64. Bank it

[@prattacaster]

No chance that's where Ezra ends up

[@U.S.AeroForceDiscGolf]

Why Are Pro Tour Players Allowed to Play A and B Tier.... Because Pro Disc Golf is a Joke If you on Corn Ferry and get your tour card THAT MEAN YOU ARE THE TOP MONEY ERNER FOR THAT Year Q Series You Do Not Earn A Tour Card You are Eligible To Purchase One for 8,000 dollars..... You have to Pay to Get A DGPT tour card NOT EARNED

[@tattooedjohnson]

Disc golf is dead. Even Brody tired of it. 5 guys get paid the rest of us are just customers

[@brandongreen9381]

That should give you the drive you get better , practice more and more.

[@pbodys16]

I love the shit out of it

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

But most of the several who bank the most are literally about the most self-driven players in the sport -- Gannon, Kristin, and Ricky chief among them. Kristin, for one, has a lot of sponsors and partnerships (mostly non-d.g. brands) now that *she* sought out and made happen. It does help her that she is a big fish in the small Estonian pond, and that her government assists in some ways. Granted. But she has worked harrrd to get to her status. Ricky, for another, has involved himself with Bitcoin and also has a steady Airbnb income as a result of educating himself in those areas. He also constantly sells on IG. He works harrrd. Brodie isn't a peak disc golfer, but he works harrrd at his nest egg. Uli does all right because he grinds at various gigs harrrd.

[@jamesbanwarth5569]

Ezra looks like he's coked out

[@nickreeves3595]

2 min in and im gonna have to agree 🤣🤣🤣

[@nickreeves3595]

Maybe he’s just nervous

[@nickreeves3595]

Final conclusion he was ready to let it rip on Brodie about manufacturing rumors 🤣 bro went back to normal right after

[@pbodys16]

Seems off brand tho 😂

[@stevenramseyjr2032]

Ezra's a good dude. Besides, he's a Dr. Pepper guy.

[@phoebewittwag622]

No one came to watch …. 1000 views …

[@MikeKrueger-c7k]

Brodie it's to bad that you suck
