Seems like since covid the accommodations piece has been less interesting. And Iām sure thatās because Airbnb hosts have changed how they do things to be contactless. I know in the travel Iāve done post covid I havenāt seen a single Airbnb host and that certainly wasnāt the case before.

Dylan Dethier wrote this, right? Heās already in the bag for the Strapped Boys after letting them abuse his membership at Taconic. Sad day for journalism.

Not sure if this has been suggested but adjusting the money round seems like a good way to go. Instead of needing to reach a quota to dig out of the red, all quota points could put $ in the pocket. Could also have a chance to earn cash during each round as an incentive to avoid the Jeb! rounds.

Do not factor the golf into the budget. Simply set a rule that they need to play muniās or cheapest public if there are no muniās. Also like the idea of giving the boys more opportunities to earn bonuses through their golf.
Similar take. Donāt bump the baseline budget, just create more incentives that would add to the storyline. $5 for sandies, $3 for birdies, -$2 for three putts. Bring guests on to also get in on the action. If @KVV shoots a career day, shouldnāt Neil and Randy get to celebrate with him?
I just think having some incentive bucks out there (aside from the money round) you could create good content.

It looks so quaint! Just a good olā slice of Americana right there.
If it aināt broke donāt fix it, I just worry about the toll filming takes on the diner boys. Long may they reign.

On the topic of unsolicited solutions and asserting ourselves where we donāt belong. How about a Strapped Detroit? There are 2 Donald Ross courses for around $50 and Rouge Park. The boys can stay with my folks and mow my dadās one-acre lawn as community service for violating by-laws

Or just get Max Homa on another quota round to bump up the budget.
We open on the C-Suite interrogating the strapped boys, Iām talking sanctions on top of sanctions. DJ over in the corner singing like a stool pigeon.
All looks lost. They are going to have to figure out how to make things work for next to nothingā¦ THEN BOOM! Homa kicks open the door like the Kool-Aid and holds his hand out āFollow me if you want to strap.ā
Budget explodes, mega bonus in play again, The Kid n Big Randy are riding high while the cop n C-Suite sulk off to plot againā¦

Punishment could be the C-Suite sending Randy & Neil on a trip where the itinerary is already preset for them. Imagine a weekend in the middle of absolute nowhere in a $20 per night AirBNB, pre-selected restaurants & meals, beers, everything. I bet @Tron could come up with a full weekend itinerary for under $250.

Just for fun:
C-Suite (+DJ) pick the destination.
Base budget: $500
Pre-trip bonus: Up to $250. C-Suite gives ten clues about the destination (landmarks, famous people from there, companies based there, etc), Neil and Randy get one guess between them per clue. Each wrong answer reduces the bonus by $25.
