Simon Lizotte talks about everything except Music City Open (DGPT win) - SmashBoxx Podcast

[@jamesbenton4123]

Such a better interview than just a tournament breakdown. I've watched Simon become a US citizen, US driver , husband , father , and a discgolf ICON. His journey has been such a refreshing glimpse into the joy and struggle of touring. His time with Casey White is some of my favorite content.

Simon's wife convincing him to play the last 2 tournaments got my like 🧡💚

[@jtdiscgolf2520]

A Gibson Custom Les Paul is like receiving a stack of 2015 Firebirds for your trophy. It's the Cadillac of all guitars. Hopefully that helps a little Terry. Lol

[@CLTarchitect2024]

Wow, wish I watched live! Ok, you got me... Signing up for Patreon now. Thank you!

[@ralphglenz7207]

Les Paul is the only person in the National Inventors and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...Icon in the industry, Les Paul is his signature model and as Simon said a classic played by many greats. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Slash to name a few.

[@FrankBroughtonNY]

Well done Terry great conversation with Simon!

[@kroggee88]

I felt the same way with the 26 footer.

[@markd1199]

Ooh, we get the green/blue Simon MCO Pixel!

[@markd1199]

Dang, and an SL jersey. I NEED MY BIRTHDAY TO GET HERE

[@PastHisPrime336]

My area has three leagues. Two are casual. One is a sanctioned, dominant minded competition league.

[@kgu9870]

Man Simon makes traveling around throwing frisbees for millions of dollars sound like a drag. I hope life goes easier on him.

[@ilikesnow]

lol First world problems for sure.

[@tomatojuice984]

Yea doing 15 to 20 weeks of work is pretty rough I guess. Getting to spend more time with your family then almost any normal man with a job. His wife is telling him to go play the the tournaments cause that's his freaking job. No woman wants her man loafing around the house. I love Simon but come on man.

[@HaikesXO]

You’re aware one of the biggest regrets of very wealthy people is the time they had to sacrifice with their family. It didn’t come across as if he was ungrateful, it came off like he was getting burnt out. And you can’t tell someone how to feel just because they’re making a lot of money.

[@markd1199]

Ooh and a stable mid? Let’s do this!

[@FrankBroughtonNY]

I love the nervous feeling I get when I am watching someone I am for going for a win! I hear what Simon is saying! I want Eagle to win this weekend for sure - it will come down to putting!

[@ilikesnow]

I love Simon, but kinda hard to hear him complain about playing frisbees. I'd be a little worried over at MVP.

[@Holycow723]

😅😅😅 Simon selling more disc's by a long shot than any other player. I don't think MVP is worried about anything. Simon is in Dad mode. Tour life will totally suck for a dad that wants to be with his kids.

[@neroschnee7698]

Kinda sad how Simon is so negative about tour life. I'm sure you can say you miss home without making it seem like he's lost passion :(

[@Holycow723]

He has a family. 2 year old and baby on the way any day now. Of course tour life sucks for him... Doesn't mean he will stop touring. I'm sure he will skip tournaments which he should do. Kids under 5 years old need constant attention from both parents.

[@ilikesnow]

@@Holycow723 The point is he sounds anything but grateful to be throwing frisbees for millions of dollars which pays for that dad life.

[@Holycow723]

@ilikesnow please explain to me why you think someone needs too sound greatful for being a professional? He has worked hard his whole life to be where he is in the sport. He is still on tour. Still making KZbin videos. Still doing interviews. One of the best ambassadors for the sport. Maybe focus more on yourself and stop worrying about how other people sound.

[@ilikesnow]

@@Holycow723 ​ He doesn't NEED to sound any particular way. Just pointing out that he does not sound grateful for something that most hard working folks would love to partake in. There are many tougher jobs than throwing frisbees for millions of dollars, but he makes it sound terrible. And I'm still a huge fan of the guy.

[@Exploitiv]

The corses in Europe are better in my opinion. The cleanliness and pit beauty is unmatched except for the Portland open

[@noch]

Anyone else hearts broken hearing Simon not super passionate about discgolf these days?

[@stickflip88]

22:14 WHAT ARE THE MOLDS SIMON?!

[@FrankBroughtonNY]

100% without a doubt bringing gambling into Disc Golf is a monster MISTAKE! A FULL FOOLS ERRAND!

[@FrankBroughtonNY]

NO Simon!!! More kids...... more is easier! I have 8 kids! 4 girls and4 boys! I am 64 and have a 16 year old son. He loves disk golf and is playing in Jr Worlds this year!

[@markd1199]

Did you know he uses green and blue because the colors work for his color blindness?

[@stover720]

champions cup will be horrible. 5 hour rounds inc

[@markd1199]

Ooh, and we get a new mid ace video!🙌🥏
