Chapter 1: What challenges does Michael Block face with social media negativity?
I'll tell you what, what those guys go through, to be honest. Rory McIlroy, Scotty Shuffler, I mean, it is crazy how they put themselves in a situation that could be purveyed in a different way than what they're trying to mean. And I get it, it's same. I've only been the spotlight for so many months, so many times, et cetera, and I screwed up twice.
And from what I've seen, no matter what kind of a good dude person you are, there's a lot of negativity in the world on this whole social media aspect. But at the same time, people love me, my family, and my friends, and that's all I care about.
All right, guys, Michael Block here. First one out tonight, man.
I'm very proud of that, by the way. Do I win?
Chapter 2: How do viral clips impact public figures like Rory McIlroy?
Do I win? You win. Do I win nothing? I win nothing. You know what I win? I win. I get to go to dinner first.
Yeah, you get to go to catch after this at the Oreo.
Yeah, no, I'm actually going. I'm going to Carbone.

Chapter 5: What role do algorithms play in promoting negativity on social media?
The Tri-Lite from Therasage is no joke. Medical grade red and near infrared light with three frequencies per light. Deep healing, real results, and totally portable. It's legit. Photo bio modulation tech in a flexible on-body panel. This is the Trilight from Therasage and it's next level red light therapy.
It's got 118 high powered polychromatic lights, each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers. It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it. I like Kobe, he's a good dude. Yeah, shout out to Kobe.
Chapter 6: How does Michael Block handle online criticism and keyboard warriors?
I don't want him to fight us, either of us. There's been a couple out of context viral clips with you involved. I'd love for you to address. There's two of them that come to mind. The first one was playing better in front of crowds. What did you mean by that one?
Yeah, for sure. 100%. Playing in front of crowds. PGA Championship this last year at Quail Hollow.
Chapter 7: What insights does Michael share about the pressures of fame?
Best shot I hit all week was at par 5. Driver off the deck. Had this huge crowd. It was so sick. And I hit this thing, and it rolled. I probably hit it like 220 in the air, and it rolled like 80 yards and went in between the creek and the rough and rolled on the green.
And then at the end of the day, I come out of the locker room and someone interviews me and goes, Hey, tell me about that shot you hit on seven or eight or whatever it was. And I go sick. I go, I had this huge crowd and I hit the best shot of my day. That's all I said.
Chapter 8: Why is media training essential for public figures?
And the press took it the wrong way, as what's happened in the past with me, and it was a bummer. And I've kind of learned that, I don't know. I don't know how to handle it in the future, to be honest. I kind of don't want to be in the spotlight, to be honest, to be in the future. I'm going to turn 50 here in a couple months. Congrats.
And play some senior tour stuff and kind of go out in the sunset.
I could see why, because I have on a lot of pro athletes, I could see why they're closed off with media interviews. Because they seem like they're trying to get them to say something, you know?
I'll tell you what. What those guys go through, to be honest. Rory McIlroy, Scotty Shuffler. I mean, it is crazy how they put themselves in a situation that could be purveyed in a different way than what they're trying to mean. And I get it. Like, it's insane. Like, I take...
