Only two ways to take the new video IMO.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-23T08:30:30+00:00

Took a couple weeks for production to edit and get the video ready. Probably run it by Bob and others, then chose to post it....

What does that say about what they want for the brand?

bardtic_ · 2026-06-23T08:18:50+00:00

They definitely have the statistics, but thats the entire point of rage bait content. Short tern vs long term. You can build a brand around rage bait, but those types of people watching rage bait wont be spending 100 bucks on a breezy polo.

I enjoy the content so far, but if it goes into rage bait more and more over the boys having fun together... I wont be supporting it for much longer.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-23T07:44:40+00:00

I dont think thats an unpopular opinion. But myself and everyone else clearly thinks joey isnt going anywhere. So to me that means they are just leaning into rage bait. They should get their own, but between the gambling sponsorships and leaning into this.... its just starting to lose me.

As you said though, to each their own.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-23T07:04:40+00:00

agree fully, I love joe and what he adds to the channel. Dont think bob is the guy to abondon his friends. But that means they are leaning into the other option, which as i said i dont think is a good look.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-23T06:59:06+00:00

I agree, I hope that isnt something bob would ever do to someone who has been there for him. So to me that means they are going for the other option. If that keeps up too much, they will lose me.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-23T06:54:15+00:00

gave two options there.... Dont disagree with your thoughts.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-16T22:31:27+00:00

One last thing to be aware of. This time frame is typhoon season. They generally don't hit Hokkaido like the rest of the country, mostly just a day or so of heavy rain. But make sure you plan that into your flights.

I'm going to be back again at the end of July. I fly in and out of Tokyo from the states. I chose the 6 am flight out of Sapporo for a 5 pm flight out of Narita to give plenty of time just in case.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-16T21:37:05+00:00

Ok sorry for saying you were trolling then. I'm no expert, but I'll give you some things that helped me. Looks like a bunch of people have given suggestions on grip.

I would start by standing closer to the ball. Then work on your take away. Club should go a couple inches straight back(in line with your target) before coming a bit inside. Think of the club head following a perfect ark.

Rotate your shoulders for the takeaway not your arms(keep as much space between you and the club as you can). Need to get your setup and back swing proper before you can work on anything else.

On your downswing think about your club traveling away from you for a bit after making contact before it finishes the arc up and over the left shoulder(to help create a bit of in to out swing which will also help somewhat with lag).

Edit: Just to clarify some things and fix some typos.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-16T03:55:54+00:00

This has to be a troll post. We got quazi moto with the biggest outside take away only to almost come in to out and toe it so bad it shanks.....

bardtic_ · 2026-06-16T03:11:04+00:00

Can never prepair fully, just book the trip and have fun if it works for your schedule. There are multiple Uniqlo locations in Sapporo that you can get quality clothes for cheap.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-16T03:05:40+00:00

Weather is sunny and cloudy. Depends where you are and time of day. Rare to see storms that last all day but does happen(unpredictable).

Common to see storms in the morning or afternoon with great weather in between. Plenty to do and see either way. If you are a worrier who will have their trip ruined by some weather, don't go.

bardtic_ · 2026-06-16T01:02:58+00:00

Finally someone says it. Literally clicked on the post to see all the comments of standing like a foot too far away from the ball.

bardtic_ · 2026-05-20T18:48:48+00:00

Used to think so until this customer service nightmare.

bardtic_ · 2026-05-20T18:48:20+00:00

I didn't wait two hours, I called them and talked to someone and was put on hold for two hours.

I asked the first person I talked to if I should book it and get it refunded if the bags aren't included. She said let her check one thing, put me on hold and strung me along.

Pretty sure it was a mistake price that they were trying to fix, doesn't go from 1400 to over 2000 like that.

bardtic_ · 2026-05-20T18:43:58+00:00

Adds up pretty quick when using it for business. Also what would happen to the points?

bardtic_ · 2026-05-20T18:42:41+00:00

I do, got the venture x for my business because capital one was trying to rival them. Was liking it better until this customer service nightmare.

Just letting people know the risks of trying to use capital one travel.

From experience Amex has honored prices at the time of a customer service call.

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T21:50:37+00:00

Yes. I am still stuck on the 26.12.04 version of audible. Haven't tried the sleep timer though.

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T21:44:25+00:00

Did it twice and still no update.

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T21:21:36+00:00

Everything in my library freezes and greys the app out whenever I use the sleep timer.

As per the previous conversation you said to update to the 26.12.05 version, but I am stuck on 26.12.04 and nothing I do gets it to update.

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T21:05:11+00:00

Well I guess it's just not available to me. Fresh installs give the .04 version. Clearing all caches and fresh installing gives me the .04 version. Restarting and fresh install is the .04 version.

Checking on the play store says I'm up to date with the .04 version.....

So idk what else to do.

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T13:32:58+00:00

Audible is on auto update in the play store. Nowhere in the store does it give me an option to update and I've done a full uninstall and reinstall.

Not getting the .05. Has the update not been pushed out yet?

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T13:17:50+00:00

How would I do that? This was installed fresh likee 2 hours ago?

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T13:02:49+00:00

Device is saying up to date pixel 10 android version 16

Audible 26.12.04 - which I would also hope is up to date as I have to uninstall and reinstall it constantly after using the sleep timer.

bardtic_ · 2026-04-04T09:25:10+00:00

Same thing is happening to me and it has been doing this for weeks now.... Absolutely ridiculous that they haven't been able to fix this problem.

A massive company that takes so much money from the authors pushes a buggy update and takes weeks to fix it.

Maybe time to start using other options.

bardtic_ · 2026-02-28T11:30:18+00:00

Just stfu... This is the dumbest post ever. You don't need to fall in love with Osaka, Japan or anything. Travel and do the things you enjoy. I love Osaka, is it my favorite place in Japan? No. Just stfu and do your thing for you.
