In part 2 of Season 13, Episode 1, I’m joined by Bobby “Loops” Palmeri and Bryce Paup.

Bobby is a longtime New York caddie who’s spent several years looping at Bethpage Black. He shares some fantastic stories from life on the bag, including memorable rounds looping for celebrities like Brian Harman, Cal Clutterbuck, and one incredibly touching experience caddying for the late Tim Wakefield. Bobby has a great way of telling stories, and his love for the game and the people he’s met along the way really shines through. I know you're really going love him and his stories.

We then round out the show with an unforgettable visit from NFL legend Bryce Paup, the 1995 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Bryce opens up about growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia, being labeled “dumb” as a kid, and how negative self-talk—both from others and his own inner voice—shaped his self-image for years. He shares how his high school sweetheart, now his wife, became his rock and helped him find his way back from rock bottom.

From there, we transition into his football journey—his college years, his time in Green Bay, why the Packers let him get away, signing with the Bills, and becoming bookends with the legendary Bruce Smith. Bryce also offers powerful advice for kids who are struggling with similar challenges today.

It’s an honest, emotional, and inspiring conversation—one I truly believe you’ll get a lot out of.
