YES DUDE WE WANT THE POD&PLAY! This is the shit the real fans want to see. Golf and life and everything in-between. I come back to watch these episodes all the time!
Love the pod and play style! Sometimes the golf gets boring and sometimes the pods get boring but mashing them kept me interested the whole time. Great personalities and insight! Keep it up👏👏
22:1022:10 Thank you for not cutting this part out. We are who we are and shouldn't ever be made to feel less than for that. We don't get to choose, and shame on those who couldn't or still can't accept that. Thank you, Michael Peña for staying true to who you are in the face of adversity.
Blown away by your retention analytics. I literally said “I’ve missed this format” when I saw the thumbnail. POD and Play is my fav YT golf format. Especially 9 hole match. You guys are the best story tellers in YT golf. Keep doing you!
Love this format. What a great guy Michael is. Got the shivers when he talked about his parents' support for him to follow his dreams - he said so little but just the way he explained it made you feel like you had watched a movie about it. Thanks for the great content, watching it from South Africa, so cudos for the Ernie shout! Tom
This is by far one of the best golf videos I’ve seen, and I’ve seen all the big boys on TH-cam. The audio is exceptional. The video quality is superb. The editing is masterful. Thank you for releasing this content.
Nothing encapsulates my golf game more than the words spoken at 19:29 😂 This was phenomenal. Erik I know I'm late to the game but I've been meaning to follow you every time I see you featured in other channels. This one popped and I can't wait for the next. Thank you for the content!
I think this is legitimately my favorite format I have seen regarding any golf content available right now. I truely hope you keep doing this, you will have a sub for life .
@@RandomGolfClubFilms my favorite part about Erik and the brand as a whole is he's relatable, all of it is relatable and it's so much more deep then just watching shots hit and waiting for the low percentage shot to make it popular. Everything from the breaking series to the pod and play series and everything in between.
This pod and play just made me a subscriber. So yes, do more of this. Peña is one of my favorite people of all time! Million Miles Away, End of Watch are 10/10 movies of his. I've watched every one but those are perfect movies.
I watch a fair bit of YT golf content, and this format actually keeps me retained longer than just a straight match. It's real, the convo's are interesting and authentic. Eric's a very good interviewer, way better than he is a golfer, so watching him develop that personal connection is what everyone else is lacking.
This is my 3rd or 4th time watching this episode - not only because Peña is such an all-around solid dude, but the banter between you two is so entertaining! I just watched the episode with Kwon for the 4th time right before this as well! Keep up the incredible content, E.A.L., your production store is so badass & fun to watch!
Absolutely love the pod and play. And I listened to the pod first and watched the video. I was not sure if I would stay engaged but I definitely wanted more at the end. Thank you for another great watch and listen. Keep ‘‘em coming.
Love the personal stories and the origin story of Michael’s golf journey. Who we are as golfers and how we relate to the game and each other is RGC’s “magic”! Keep making the game better by breaking down perceptions and revealing the “universal truths” of golf!
What a fantastic watch! Eric and Michael's round of golf was much more than just a game - it was a deep dive into the soul of golf, where every shot and conversation revealed layers of friendship, professional journeys, and the sheer joy of playing. Michael sharing his journey into golf and its impact was pure gold. And Eric, you have this incredible knack for making golf about so much more than just the sport. This video is a reminder that golf is the backdrop for life's bigger moments - personal growth, connection, and the simple pleasure of a well-hit drive. Eagerly awaiting the next adventure on the greens!
Really glad I run into this channel I watch a lot of golf and I've only been playing for 2 yrs and am Latino on my watch to watch everything else you guys have made thanks
The pod and play is honestly the best format I've come across. I haven't watched a full 40 minute video in a while but I stuck around for this one. I didn't know Michael was so good!
Congrats Eric at the growth of the cast, loved it from the start and even more that your living in Austin. Being from Austin and living in Hawaii watching the growth has been amazing.
Truly a fantastic video! Michael Peña is a fantastic actor, and a surprisingly (no offense, Mr. Peña) really good golfer. Hard to pick my favorite movie, but it's either End of Watch or Fury. Both fantastic movies! So nice getting to see these huge actors just have fun doing what they love, just like all of us! Seems like truly good human being!
Loved the vid and the concept. It’s cool to see these people as people instead of icons or characters. You do a normal golf vid and you don’t get lines like “I’m living off the legacy of dreamers.”
this is the first episode of this channel i've ever seen and i think the pod & play format is fkn great. i really like this. also, a big fan of michael pena. so yeah, just got a new sub from me. keep this up guys
Loving this format. I always listen to the pod and watch the videos, this takes both to another level. F the algorithm! Also I will not miss the next mad scramble.
Im a new subscriber so I am not sure how valuable my comment is but as a person that aspires to create golf content, the pod-n-play is absolutely amazing! In a world where there are very few firsts, I was pleasantly impressed to find this video. Thanks for being a pioneer!
Love the pod n' play. One suggestion (partly because it benefits me as a TH-cam premium member) but consider putting all the EAL show episodes in a playlist?
THIS IS THE BEST FORMAT ( POD BACKGROUND OVER THE ROUND) WITH A COOL ASS CELEB (CASSANDRA WAS EASY ON THE EYES TOO) AND ERIC IS A BREATHE OF FRESH TH-cam GOLF AIR. THIS SHOULD HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS
Not only is Peña a good actor.... dude is a player man. You love to see it.
Michael Pena is such an underrated actor imo.
His swing looks purrrrre
@@TheDangerRandy is erik, too? He seems like a kook
YES DUDE WE WANT THE POD&PLAY! This is the shit the real fans want to see. Golf and life and everything in-between. I come back to watch these episodes all the time!
Amen Mr. Dump.
Long live the pod and play. PLEASE keep doing them this way. Most "engaged" I've been on any YT golf video in quite a while.
Michael Pena seems like such a class dude. Excited to sit down and watch this one.
Just watched him in A Million Miles Away, loved his performance.
Love the pod and play style! Sometimes the golf gets boring and sometimes the pods get boring but mashing them kept me interested the whole time. Great personalities and insight! Keep it up👏👏
Glad you enjoy it, stay tuned for more!
Totally agree, such a good play to mix in the pod through the holes. Kept me engaged throughout :)
"I was living on the legacy of dreamers." ~ Michael Peña; all-time most inspiring quote. Pure love.
absolute banger of a video. Pena is a class act dude. hell of a golfer too

You guys are the best story tellers in YT golf. Keep doing you!
Absolutely couldn’t agree more!
Next to the breaking series of videos, this is easily my favorite format. It's great to see golf alongside hearing interesting anecdotes and stories.
Love this format. What a great guy Michael is. Got the shivers when he talked about his parents' support for him to follow his dreams - he said so little but just the way he explained it made you feel like you had watched a movie about it.

Thanks man we're happy to have you here
Michael Pena top 5 celebrity golfers on the planet hands down!
video idea: take a high handicap subscriber and see how much you can improve their game in a weekend. Love the content!
I like this. Maybe include lessons from notable instructors
@@bradynichols3811practical instruction. Help them embrace their nuanced swing, just score better
I volunteer ✋🏽
or better yet..
take 4 golfers of various handicaps.. have them play a famous course... from the tips! no gimmes, no mulligans, hard mode
I volunteer as tribute
One of my favorite actors. Love to hear that he never thought about changing his name. So cool of him to do it his way as himself. Awesome!!
Wow this format (the match with podcast style interview clips in between) is SO GOOD. Love it, unreal production. Well done.
This is really great. Breaking up the play with the interview is a great format. More of this!

Eric, the pioneer of TH-cam golf is delivering as always!
Id like to think Crossfield was the OG
Crossfield was definitely on the scene first. Then maybe Schiels. @bbien22
POD and play is awesome. Such a unique style and really adds to the storyline of the video. Love it and shout out Pena for being a cool ass guy.
This pod and play just made me a subscriber. So yes, do more of this.

Screw the retention. POD and play. This should be its own playlist. And Michael Peña was just fantastic. Viva Mexico Cabrones 🇲🇽
Love the pod and play! Awesome discussions sprinkled in with some great on course moments. Looking forward to more.

The videography, the editing, the music choice, and the story telling is so good!

I could watch you guys play golf all day.One of the best videos. Thank you for your content
This was a good one! Michael Peña is a super class act….you’re not too bad yourself 😂

Love the Pod&Play. Quintessential RGC with the production quality to tell great golf stories.
Loved the vid and the concept. It’s cool to see these people as people instead of icons or characters. You do a normal golf vid and you don’t get lines like “I’m living off the legacy of dreamers.”
I love these type videos! Golf with good people is the perfect way to spend the day. Well done! ❤
Pod n Play is all about the guest and when you have guests like this it's a great format. Love it.
loved the story about Brad Pitt and Shia saying "We're F'd". The dry humor in this vid is fantastic. Great job as always!
I like the pod golf format! Nice and chill. Keep ‘em coming!

I love the Pod and Play style of video. It keeps my interest and it’s just better content. Keep doing what you’re doing. Peña is a player for sure.
I enjoy the content with the podcast included throughout. Pena was a fantastic guest!
