What is the main topic of this episode?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Again, today is what we think of as one of those ridiculous episodes. Today's episode is about revenge and how sweet it is. So here's the backstory on this.
Aside from being in the media business and a lawyer by background, a couple of my favorite pastimes are golf and tennis and just trying to stay in shape, which is a winning and losing battle, depending on what week it is. So what's happened with my golf game, when I'm mentally uncentered, my golf game is just absolutely horrible. And that's really been the case for some time.
It feels like this entire winter, when I spent some time out of Chicago and in Florida, I played horrible golf, and it just had moments of glory. So one of the things that happens is, one of my close friends, who is a, you know, literally, I love him, and a ridiculous individual, has been taking my money in golf. you know, time and time again. And this makes me very distraught.
I don't understand why years ago a therapist said to me, if you feel so bad after playing golf, don't golf. That was the therapist's advice. And again, it made tremendous common sense where for anybody who's an addicted golfer, you know that that's a theory. It's a new degree or got their degree from the DeVry Institute of Technology or something like that. So here's the story.
I ended up coming back to golf. And I've been playing poorly, losing money to the friend who will go unnamed. His last name is Blum. And this... On a cold, dreary day in Chicago, it was Revenge Day where I came out victorious. It wasn't big stakes. I think I won $20, but it doesn't matter. Revenge is a beautiful thing. That therapist needs a new job, and that's where we're at.
