Rich Lerner joins Soly to discuss his career broadcasting golf for NBC and Golf Channel and shares some of his favorite stories detailed in his book “Aren’t You That Golf Guy?: Doglegs and Detours from a Life in the Game.” From the early days of Golf Channel, the Tiger boom, working on “Life From” and a ton more, we really enjoyed having Rich on the pod for the first time.
“That’s fucked up!”
“Put the fucking bib back on!”
Rich Learner is always entertaining.
This was so good. Would love a pt.2.
Wasn’t aware that Rich was a south east PA gui! Was not expecting cheesesteak and Yacco’s talk right off the bat.
Halfway through and it’s been very entertaining. But it’s a bummer that the Phil stuff came to light right after this interview. Talk about your rub of the green.
So good Well done! Seems like there was a time crunch at the end and Soly was trying to wrap up the interview before it went over time.
And he correctly named the best cheesesteak in Philly! Never would’ve guessed Rich had such a potty mouth.
I love the fact that Rich asked if he could say the bad words when telling the Samuel L. Jackson story after having dropped a couple dozen “F” bombs already.
This one is a banger, I had no idea I liked Rich Lerner so much.
Was expecting an infomercial about his book. Instead was an all around good conversation, funny and informative. Really liked how Soly lets the guest just speak with not interruptions.
I’ve been watching Rich for thirty years and this interview just completely changed my perspective on him–funny, great stories, accents, deep human insight. Just brilliant.
Barbara! I saw a giraffe drink another giraffe’s piss at the zoo today! It was fucked up!
