Live from the Kill House

This week's show is all about football. Joining TC & Randy are two familiar faces, Micah Pueschel (front-man for the band Iration) and Kevin Van Valkenburg (writer for ESPN). The show kicks off with a bit of college football discussion, notably Deion to Boulder, Hugh Freeze to Auburn, and Buck Tech to the playoff. Then they dive into a robust NFL discussion--who's winning the season-long NFL team draft, what's up with the Niners, Ravens, and Bengals; and of course so, so much more (including a really interesting conversation around Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow). Enjoy!

The No Laying Up collective chops it up with a wide variety of guests from all corners of the golf world, and more importantly, guests from the golf-adjacent world.

Today's show is a conversation between Randy and Jim Hartsell about Jim's new book, "When Revelation Comes". The book is available now through 

 and is Jim's second book. Besides his full-length writing, Jim writes at his website, jhartsellgolf.com, and contributes to a number of places, including The Golfer's Journal, Links Diary, and our own NLU website. 

"When Revelation Comes" is about a trip Jim took to Scotland in August of 2021 in the aftermath of losing his youngest son, Jordan, unexpectedly. It's a beautiful book that will touch on the full range of emotions, and stands both as a love letter to Scotland and Scottish golf, but also about what it means to love, lose, and try to carry on in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy. Enjoy.
