Strapped - Reno (Renting a home vs. buying a home.)

Did it have to be a certain type of beer? Would be a definite advantage to going with the cheap lite beers.

Lite beers would move to an adjusted par type of scoring.

well the game clearly rewards max consumption… if you can drink 12 full-bodied beers during a round, i tip my hat to you sir.

could definitely do a 50% multiplier for light beers. they’re still big volume.

Agreed. I played in a craft beer tournament once. I don’t know how many beers we had by the end, but none of them were low ABV beers. Needless to say you could look at our scorecard and see exactly when we crossed the line.

hopefully uber… “drinking and driving in golf” is an entirely different thread/problem

One of my best friends and golf partners doesn’t drink. It comes in handy sometimes.

Thats usually me. I drink, just not really day drink. I can do it a bit in the cooler months but put 2 drinks in me when it’s warm and sunny it’s a recipe for an instant headache. Blessing and a curse. Curse because, ya know I’d like to get day drunk sometimes but I can’t. Blessing because my monthly statement at the club is a couple/few hundred dollars less each month than my friends.

Mr Solomon & Carter,

I have completed my audit of “Strapped - Reno”. I regret to inform you that there are some serious instances of fraud occurring. Very scummy.

As you’ll see in Exhibit A below, the “Strapped Boys” ended episode 2 with $111 remaining.

Episode 3 opens with “Party Boy” and “Dirty Randy” on the streets of Reno at 3am. However, it is shown that they still have $111 in the budget as per Exhibit B below. So no money was spent between the Mexican restaurant and 3am in the morning? Do they think I was born yesterday? As my mother always told me, “Nothing good happens after midnight.”

Since Mr. Pie is in charge of editing as well as the chaperone on the trips it appears we have some serious separation of duties issues here. In my professional opinion Mr. Pie is a double agent for the Strapped boys and was acting as a “Narc” in earlier seasons only to gain your trust. He cannot be trusted moving forward.

This incident combined with the “Coffee Cup” situation from episode 1 leaves no doubt in my mind that misappropriation of funds and/or collusion is at play here.

Therefore, I am recommending heavy sanctions for season 4.

Thank you,

No Laying Up Internal Audit Department

These types of events never have a happy ending for me. At the end of the day the golf awards are always going to alcoholics who can handle everything you can throw in them or alcoholics who get a pass on drinking.

I played in a Fallen Firefighters scramble a few years ago. Bloody Mary bar pre tourney, beer buckets every other hole. By the time we got to the Gunniess/Jameson booth on our 9th hole, the groups were stacked up three deep on the box. Each time a new group pulled up to the tee, everyone on the tee box threw back a shot together. I think we ended up tallying 4 or 5 shots and 3 or 4 beers in about a 20 minute window.

The last thing I remember was hitting my tee shot on that hole. Woke the next morning in my Laz E Boy with a motorcycle helmet on (visor up of course) that I apparently won in a silent auction. I don’t even own a motorcycle… and I’m fully aware that to win a silent auction your have to voluntarily write your name on a piece of paper with an amount of money that you’re willing to pay for the item. No idea what I ended up paying for the helmet.

I feel like you should watch your knee caps when you walk out of the office today. Neil seems like the type to send a guy to do a job for him.

Besides, what happens in Reno and doesn’t get filmed, stays in Reno.

Any food consumed after midnight and while intoxicated does not count as far as calories or budgets go. I’ve been living by this rule for 20 plus years now

At this stage it’s too early too see exactly how big of a fraud case we’re working with. It’s not a glamorous job, but someone has to protect the #stakeholders.
