3:16
Speaker 1: when you when you warned the honor and they continue
3:18
Speaker 1: to understand that it's a true blessing, but they're not
3:21

Speaker 1: They bring to truition um an amazing executive producer. Like
3:40
Speaker 1: just every single person on the team helped us get
3:43
Speaker 1: to where we are. So it's it's it's a it's
3:45
Speaker 1: seriously just the beginning. You see it right there. Now
3:47
Speaker 1: let's talk about holy moment. Let me give me a
3:49
Speaker 1: little background by Rashan McDonald. This is kind of like
3:51
Speaker 1: advanced put put golf, right, both put golf on steroids
3:55
Speaker 1: in my room. Yes exactly, Yes, that's exactly it. Okay,
3:59
Speaker 1: So so put put golf, I have to say, in
4:03
Speaker 1: college was my number one dating way. I'm just telling you.
4:09
Speaker 1: I could hear that about that. You know, you sound
4:11
Speaker 1: like a person who's type about having a little different
4:14
Speaker 1: fun and you know something that to bring some adventure
4:17
Speaker 1: into any date. I could see that it was the
4:20
Speaker 1: number one committe it was like it was so cool
4:22
Speaker 1: because you know, you could actually talk to your date
4:24
Speaker 1: and get close to your date as well. And then
4:27
Speaker 1: it was it was like it was it was outdoors
4:29
Speaker 1: and and and I always felt so to see this
4:33
Speaker 1: on a national platform, I'm really excited because I know
4:37
Speaker 1: how much fun I personally had and and I was
4:40
Speaker 1: good that I was good at it that. So to
4:42
Speaker 1: see you, now, are you what is your put put
4:46
Speaker 1: game level? Yeah? So, I mean I'm pretty boss, if
4:49
Speaker 1: I say to myself, because I make it fun. It's
4:52
Speaker 1: not just getting a hole in one. You know, your
4:53
Speaker 1: golf is all about the competition, the personality, taking each
4:57
Speaker 1: other on, the fashion ability to kind of break down
5:02
Speaker 1: every hole and make it a fun experience, just you know,
5:05
Speaker 1: from the way you play it. So being the sideline
5:07
Speaker 1: correspondent to hold Molly was a perfect job for me
5:09
Speaker 1: because I basically come and I bring the flag. Um,
5:13
Speaker 1: you have all these contestants that are that we found
5:15
Speaker 1: from across the globe to come and compete for twenty
5:19
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. They also are competing against our executive
5:22
Speaker 1: producers that's Curry. So there's so many elements that make
5:25
Speaker 1: you bring your a game, and it's a crazy game.
5:29
Speaker 1: All the holes are basically made larger than life. The
5:32
Speaker 1: wooden mills. There are wooden mills that knocked people out
5:34
Speaker 1: on their back. There's floating tulips that give you a
5:39
Speaker 1: nice cushion for your fall. There are three story foot
5:43
Speaker 1: drops into freezing cold lagoons. There's glaciers that you, guys
5:47
Speaker 1: slip and slide your way up in order to fight
5:50
Speaker 1: a polar bear to fut your hole in. It's it's insane.
5:53
Speaker 1: I have never in my life doing anything like this.
5:56
Speaker 1: But it also makes me wonder why the hell does
5:58
Speaker 1: it takes long? Because ministry called should be at this level.
6:01
Speaker 1: It is so much fun. Well, okay, first of all,
6:04
Speaker 1: you described things I've never experienced, so which is a
6:07
Speaker 1: great thing. And so you said a glazier, uh, three
6:11
Speaker 1: foot drops, you said a waterfall, you said the windmill
6:14
Speaker 1: that will knock you down. Okay, okay, this is sound.
6:17
Speaker 1: This is done to sound fun. But before I before
6:19
Speaker 1: we're going further detail, you mentioned Steph Curry. I know
6:23
Speaker 1: he has it. I know he loves to play golf personally,
6:26
Speaker 1: So now he's in there, they're competing against him or
6:29
Speaker 1: he's just a host, they're competing against him, but he's
6:33
Speaker 1: also the executive producer. So there's a moment where every
6:37
Speaker 1: contestant has to make a decision on whether or not
6:39
Speaker 1: they want to play again, or they want to have
6:42
Speaker 1: Stef Curry touch for them, or they want a robot
6:45
Speaker 1: to put for them. So Seth Curry actually goes against
6:48
Speaker 1: a robot, which goes to show how good he is
6:50
Speaker 1: that golf because the robot has a hunder accuracy, so
6:54
Speaker 1: you would be usually surprised. Okay, cool, So now you,
6:58
Speaker 1: my friend, did you play at all? Are you just
7:07
Speaker 1: bring it? Kid? Me? And I also not only killed
7:11
Speaker 1: it at some of my strokes, but I go ahead
7:15
Speaker 1: to ahead with pretty big celebrity who I had my
7:19
Speaker 1: eye after, and let me tell you, I did not
7:22
Speaker 1: go away upset. I definitely won that. You're gonna have
7:27
Speaker 1: to wait and see who it is I played again. Okay, Okay, now,
7:29
Speaker 1: so you accent because you only mentioned slot Sideline reporter
7:32
Speaker 1: at first, So you out there throwing down with the
7:35
Speaker 1: with the putter yourself. Because I'm messy like that, I
7:37
Speaker 1: had to get into it, even though I'm just the
7:39
Speaker 1: host of me. I'm only going to sit down host like,
7:42
Speaker 1: you know, I have to get up in it too.
7:44
Speaker 1: Now that that's what I love about this so so
7:46
Speaker 1: because you know, I watched other shows like America Ninja
7:49
Speaker 1: or the host of Truly on the sidelines. They're on
7:51
Speaker 1: the sideline, they just point they just talking about what
7:54
Speaker 1: they see, not just one. Nope, I get into it.
7:57
Speaker 1: I definitely do because I had to. It's so much
7:59
Speaker 1: fun when you see it though. The course is unbelievable,
8:02
Speaker 1: So it makes you want to jump in and get
8:04
Speaker 1: in there and get yourself a little dirty with everybody else. Now,
8:07
Speaker 1: this is awesome. So we're about to go to the break.
8:10
Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm really gonna get in detail
8:12
Speaker 1: about this show because now you're challenging me, you know,
8:15
Speaker 1: and it's really I know Steph Curry, you know he
8:17
Speaker 1: can throw that out with the best on the basketball courts.
8:20
Speaker 1: Now you're telling me he can beat the robot. Now
8:22
Speaker 1: you're telling me you you're being celebrities out there. So
8:25
Speaker 1: we really when we come back here, I gotta find
8:27
Speaker 1: out the truth, the holy moldy truth. Hi, this ra
8:31
Speaker 1: Sean McDonald. You're listening to money making conversations, and my
8:35
Speaker 1: show is about giving people opportunity, just stars and regular
8:39
Speaker 1: people and entrepreneurs and CEO and decision industry decision makers.
8:43
Speaker 1: And this size is entertainment. And when I talked to
8:45
Speaker 1: someone from entertainment, I always like to talk about the
8:47
Speaker 1: fact that we noticed it's just one continuous hustle because
8:50
Speaker 1: there are no guarantees, no number of shows I've worked
8:53
Speaker 1: on over the years, all right, or I thought it
8:56
Speaker 1: was gonna be on for several years, it might just
8:58
Speaker 1: last one season. And you just because you think you
9:00
Speaker 1: got starpower, so you always on this continued huspital hustle.
9:04
Speaker 1: And that's why I really developed that whole philosopher multip
9:07
Speaker 1: multiple layers of income because of the fact that if
9:09
Speaker 1: one job goes away, you still got this hustle holding
9:12
Speaker 1: your own type. Well, my guest today is a shining
9:15
Speaker 1: example of that because I met her several years ago
9:18
Speaker 1: visually on the Style Network, and because of that, she
9:21
Speaker 1: has achieved so many levels and as a fashion expert.
9:25
Speaker 1: You know, she's an actress, she's a TV personality. You know,
9:28
Speaker 1: she she's talented in makeup as well, and they may
9:30
Speaker 1: not leave that out because she's an amazing makeup artist.
9:34
Speaker 1: But she's on This new show called Holy Moley, which
9:36
Speaker 1: premieres June twenty on ABC, is executiveduced by Nbing superstar
9:41
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. So, Jeannie, they call you to do this show?
9:45
Speaker 1: How did how did you? How did you become a
9:46
Speaker 1: part of this show? Holy Moli? Well, the exactly a
9:51
Speaker 1: girl from the day like me. Your golf a lot
9:54
Speaker 1: actually a golf course called golf Land, and I should
9:57
Speaker 1: have how with stories. My first kiss was at a
9:59
Speaker 1: golf course. Um. I also you see your first kiss?
10:04
Speaker 1: You see your first kiss was the girl? Oh yeah,
10:08
Speaker 1: you know your freak was so much fun and it's
10:12
Speaker 1: something caught word of that I can see me on
10:13
Speaker 1: the reel. I'm always you know. I love the games
10:15
Speaker 1: that we play. I love hosting Take it or take It.
10:18
Speaker 1: There's so many cool ways for people who don't head
10:20
Speaker 1: to head into laugh and have fun with it. That's
10:22
Speaker 1: my favorite thing to do. So to be the sideline
10:24
Speaker 1: correspond that. My job is to tell you the stories
10:27
Speaker 1: of the players, get you to meet their wives, husband's kids,
10:32
Speaker 1: whoever is that came to champion them on, and just
10:35
Speaker 1: let you feel exactly what it's like on the course.
10:37
Speaker 1: So that's my job, and I hold you down. Well,
10:40
Speaker 1: the thing I like about this because you know, they
10:42
Speaker 1: showed the commercial with Steph Curry. They show a lot
10:44
Speaker 1: of Steph Curry, but I really don't get a sense
10:47
Speaker 1: of what the show is. And that's why I invited
10:51
Speaker 1: you on the show because I wanted to get a sense.
10:53
Speaker 1: And you you one thing, one skill set you have.
10:55
Speaker 1: You're very descriptive in your tone. So walk us through
10:58
Speaker 1: a typical holyble of the guess contest. How does this start?
11:03
Speaker 1: And how many holes is it? And what are the
11:05
Speaker 1: point are the point? Is there a point system? Because
11:08
Speaker 1: you mentioned the kids, you mentioned why where are they
11:11
Speaker 1: standing in? Yeah, So the entire course takes place in
11:14
Speaker 1: Santa Clarita, which it's huge. I mean we're talking think
11:19
Speaker 1: of like maybe ten of your major golf courses all
11:22
Speaker 1: put together. It's massive. You can't see from one end
11:24
Speaker 1: of the course to the other, and every hole has
11:28
Speaker 1: a very specific strategic way of kind of taking you
11:31
Speaker 1: around the world. So we have a little bit of
11:33
Speaker 1: that challenge. We take you to the coldest out so
11:36
Speaker 1: the ice glaciers. Um, we take you through a logger's run, um,
11:41
Speaker 1: you know with um some huge tumbling blogs that come
11:44
Speaker 1: and take you down. So each hole is crafted so
11:47
Speaker 1: you have a really cool experience that unlike anything you've
11:49
Speaker 1: ever seen, larger than life. All in good fun, but
11:52
Speaker 1: definitely you're going to get um mac left or spun
11:57
Speaker 1: in some type of way. And so these golfers go
12:00
Speaker 1: head to head as they count down each week towards
12:03
Speaker 1: the winning dollars and being able to say that they
12:06
Speaker 1: are the champion of miniature golf. They get to compete
12:10
Speaker 1: with people like Steph Curry and other celebrity guests that
12:13
Speaker 1: we had every single week. I can't believe I've had
12:15
Speaker 1: a couple of pro golfers too. Actually, a kind of
12:18
Speaker 1: fan goes a little bit ran up to without pictures
12:20
Speaker 1: and everything. The entire game, Yeah, the entire game is
12:24
Speaker 1: a trip, man, because you just you can't believe what
12:27
Speaker 1: people will go through to prove that they are the
12:29
Speaker 1: best at call. And then you also can't believe what
12:31
Speaker 1: the human body can endure when you see some of
12:33
Speaker 1: these holes take them down. It's crazy. So now, now,
12:39
Speaker 1: how did this Maybe two days might be a producer question,
12:42
Speaker 1: how did they get the contestants? How did they get
12:46
Speaker 1: me to commit? No? No, the contestants who play the game.
12:49
Speaker 1: How did they find them? Because it feels like they
12:51
Speaker 1: have to have the feel like they have a huge
12:54
Speaker 1: worldwide search search the class America to find the most
12:59
Speaker 1: people for minuture golf. Wow, here we are, so you're
13:04
Speaker 1: telling about there there these are like the best of
13:06
Speaker 1: the best and miniature golf world. That's right for the
13:09
Speaker 1: most passionate, I would say the most cassionate. And so yes,
13:12
Speaker 1: some of the champions in their own challenge. Okay, so
13:17
Speaker 1: Rushan should have been there, Mushawn should have been there,
13:20
Speaker 1: you know, fighting with the with the glaciers, fighting by
13:24
Speaker 1: fighting it there with the windmill. Now that you have
13:26
Speaker 1: some very descriptive journeys on this course. Now you're talking
13:29
Speaker 1: about the windmill. The windmill that what you as as
13:34
Speaker 1: a breeze tie to it or what is it? Or
13:37
Speaker 1: what is the most adventurous hole? I guess you could
13:40
Speaker 1: say top three most adventurous holes that that that that
13:43
Speaker 1: the contestant would have to endure to complete the course.
13:48
Speaker 1: The most difficult hole would probably be the that's challenge
13:54
Speaker 1: because it's a huge window that is going out that
13:58
Speaker 1: you think looks easy going, but when stand up next
14:00
Speaker 1: year and you've got to jump through no amount of
14:02
Speaker 1: jump rope or double duch is going to prepare. You
14:04
Speaker 1: said that, right, and when this windmill hits you, I
14:06
Speaker 1: saw human beings fly in different shapes and colors. I
14:09
Speaker 1: was dying it was. And the funny thing is you
14:12
Speaker 1: can absolutely laugh. It's the first time you'll have permission
14:15
Speaker 1: to laugh at people so well. I want to thank
14:19
Speaker 1: everybody for I want to thank you Jeanie for coming
