Tom and Joe welcome Jeff Eisenband to the show to discuss how his career as a content creator has changed since he last joined the show in 2019. He explains how he decided to focus his work on golf, gambling, and esports and how it has helped him advance in this industry. The group explores the PGA/LIV merger and what it means next for the game of golf and its infrastructure. Jeff explains how he is able to wear so many hats in the media space and how his age and other external factors contribute to how he is perceived in each of the sports he works with. They discuss how working with sports video games is different from working in other areas of esports and what is next for that industry after its initial boom.
