Episode notes
Fix The Yips By Identifying Cause
- To fix yips, identify the mechanical reason (e.g., early release) and focus on the opposite corrective action.
- David and hosts recommend isolating the cause and retraining the motion to recover performance.
Entertainment As Emotional Reset
- David connected entertainment's value to emotional rescue: fans use comedy and film to reset from dark periods.
- He said creators aim to reliably provide that emotional lift and connection.
When Cultural References Age Out
- David's horror film The Tripper was self-produced and flopped, partly because younger test audiences didn't recognize Reagan.
- The film earned only about $35,000 at opening, making it an expensive lesson in timing and audience.
