Will Georges attend the ISU/Iowa football game this year and sign copies of one of these posters?
The story about Georges, Naz and DeAndre Kane going down to rural Iowa with some ISU students to shoot guns is the type of content I love from this pod. Keep it up.
Not really valid any longer, but I did this several times growing up in Iowa.
Enjoyed hearing Georges’s insight on trying out the NBA and one-and-dones.
Chris you have obviously never been to Okoboji. Lake of the Ozarks is bigger but it's not Lake Okoboji.... come on man!
Just heard that part...sounds like a CF trip to Okoboji with @ChrisMWilliams and Georges is in order
Georges should have a hog roast at his golf event. Two pigs with one stone.
Shoot, I've only done 6 or 7 of those.
I haven't done them all either, but have done quite a few of them. Then again when asked how I developed the skill to jump on a pogo stick without using my hands as I keep them free to play the harmonica, I respond, "It was lonely on the farm!"
Oh no I've been multiple times. Actually going back in June. Just prefer the Ozark greatly. So many more options there. Weather generally better for longer too.
