Some people leave a mark on the sport because of what they won. Others leave a mark because of who they are.
In Episode 5 of Out Of Production, Nate Doss and Terry Miller sit down with one of disc golf’s most unforgettable personalities, Hall of Famer “Crazy” John Brooks. What unfolds is less of an interview and more of an evening spent listening to one of the greatest storytellers the sport has ever known.
From growing up as a curious kid in Mississippi to discovering Frisbee in the late 1970s, Crazy takes us through the formative years of flying disc sports. He shares stories from the earliest days of freestyle, disc golf, and ultimate, reflects on the people who shaped the game, and explains how music, adventure, and an endless sense of curiosity have guided his life just as much as a flying disc.
Along the way, you’ll hear incredible behind-the-scenes stories from the pioneers who built the sport, how Kansas City became one of disc golf’s earliest hotbeds, and why the friendships, laughter, and experiences have always meant more than the trophies.
If you’ve ever wondered what it was like when disc golf was still being invented, or why everyone who knows Crazy John has a story about him, this conversation is for you.
This is just the beginning. Three hours somehow wasn’t enough, and you’ll understand why after listening.
