  • Dave Schultz: From Korn Ferry Grind to Hosting The Hole-In-One TV Show
    Dec 26 2025

    Dave Schultz joins The Dan Evans Show for a raw, funny, and inspiring deep dive into the grind of professional golf and how a brutal 88 on the Hooters Tour helped launch his second life in the game.

    Dave opens up about:

    • growing up in Fargo and the passion for golf in frozen winters

    • playing Division I golf at TCU and battling through Korn Ferry Tour life

    • expenses, cheap hotels, Avis rental car lines, and pursuing the PGA Tour dream

    • the mental pressure, missed cuts, Q-School heartbreak, and the emotional burden pros carry

    • how the Hole-In-One Show is changing lives by putting amateur golfers under TV pressure

    • his journey into media, inspired by his late father and broadcasting family roots

    • the moment he almost quit professional golf

    • charity impact, future expansion, and raising money through golf TV

    The Hole-In-One Show gives amateur golfers two shots at life-changing prizes — including cars and even $1 million — while raising money for charity. Dave explains how the show works, why pressure reveals character, and why amateur golfers struggle more with nerves than pros.

    This episode delivers:
    ✔ real Korn Ferry + PGA Tour stories
    ✔ inspiring transitions beyond pro golf
    ✔ media + entrepreneurship insights
    ✔ moments every golfer can relate to

    If you love golf, charity stories, pro-to-amateur dynamics, or raw behind-the-scenes tales from the grind, this episode is a must-listen.

  • How Davis Big Dawg Blew Up Reviewing School Lunch | Full Interview
    Dec 26 2025

    Davis Big Dawg went viral reviewing school lunches, fast food drops, and limited-time meals — and in this full interview, he joins The Dan Evans Show to tell the entire story.

    Davis breaks down how his TikTok account started at a lunch table, the first review that changed everything, and why honesty is the most important part of his scoring system. We talk through Chick-fil-A reviews, predicting scores, the famous peppermint shake, Baja Blast pie madness, the Grinch meal, pickle salt experiments, and why some foods just deserve a low score.

    He opens up about Tater Tot Gate, his lowest rating ever, how cafeteria staff and school administrators reacted, handling comments as his audience exploded, and what it’s like being recognized in public at such a young age. Davis also explains what makes a food score high or low, why temperature and texture matter, and how sauces can completely change a review.

    The conversation also dives into brand interactions, Slim Jim reacting instantly, fast food scarcity, dream foods to review, Texas barbecue, trying new cuisines, his McDonald’s order, thoughts on the McRib, and why he’s focused on staying authentic instead of copying other creators.

    This is the full, uncut conversation with one of the fastest-rising food creators on TikTok.

  • Augusta Hooters, One-Handed Wins & the Internet Invitational Slope Debate
    Nov 20 2025

    This week’s episode might be the most internet-golf thing we’ve ever done.

    We open with real heartbreak: the Augusta Hooters has been bulldozed. For years it was the unofficial home of John Daly during Masters Week — the bus in the parking lot, the merch, the lines out the door, the chaos. We share stories from inside that Hooters, talk about grabbing a brick for history, and sadly accept that it’s probably going to turn into a bank-mattress-sandwich combo plaza.

    Naturally, that spirals into:

    • Jersey Mike’s vs Jimmy John’s vs Subway vs Quiznos

    • Old-school McDonald’s birthday parties & underground PlayPlaces

    • Hooters orders, buffalo shrimp, fried pickles & sampler platters

    Then we head back inside the ropes:

    • Adam Schenk winning a PGA Tour event while putting one-handed

    • How wind, confidence, and scramble-guy green reading all mess with us

    And finally, we break down the internet’s favorite drama:

    • The Internet Invitational at Payne’s Valley

    • Dave Portnoy’s “no slope” rule vs Malosi’s rangefinder

    • Paige’s “stomp gate” in the rough and how it looked on camera

    • The awkward body language, Ryan Whitney’s reaction, and Good Good chiming in

    • B’s emotional win and the gut-punch of losing his dad soon after

    • Why Internet Invitational 2 is going to be even bigger… and why Caitlin Clark getting the first invite is perfect

    Hit play, buckle up, and then tell us:

    👉 Is using slope in a $1.77M internet event actually cheating… or just the reality of internet golf?
