And just like that<\/a>, I found myself thinking: I want the lives of those YouTubers. <\/p>\n

See, I’m a millennial raised in the infancy of the internet \u2014 the iPhone was still a novelty during high school \u2014 and there are times I feel the generational chasm spanning myself, Gen Z, and, more extremely, the children of Gen Alpha. Our digital worlds are just different, and naturally so. <\/p>\n

Younger folks want to be influencers more than any other career, polling has shown<\/a>, which is a job that simply did not exist for a good portion of my life. It’s an impulse I didn’t fully comprehend, really, until I stumbled upon the channel Bob Does Sports<\/a>. I get it now. Because, as a man in his 30s, I can safely say without a little bit of shame, I want the life those YouTubers have. <\/p>\n

If I could succinctly summarize what the channel does, I’d go with something like: It’s three dudes (and a few producers) who play golf together, mess around, play golf and mess around, gorge on copious amounts of food, travel across the globe, and did I mention mess around and play golf? To quote the parlance of our times: my dream date, cute<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Along the way, it\u2019s turned into a lucrative career \u2014 over 1 million YouTube subscribers, major sponsorships, hangouts with famous athletes, and life as parasocial celebrities to, well, mostly dudes in my demographic.<\/p>\n

“We never want to lose that feeling of how crazy it is,” Robby Berger, the Bob behind the eponymous Bob Does Sports channel, told Mashable in an interview over Zoom. “Because, ’til this day, it’s very, very hard for us to wrap our heads around \u2014 seeing [the channel] grow and seeing it get bigger, and going to golf courses and seeing how many fans are coming up [to us].” <\/p>\n

Robby \u2014 aka Bob, aka Bobby Fairways, aka the D Man or Da \u2014 is the bandleader of the main trio, which is rounded out by Joseph Demare \u2014 aka Joey Coldcuts, aka Cutsy, aka the D man or Da (don’t ask) \u2014 and Nick Stubbe, aka Fat Perez, aka FP. But real BDS heads know and love the producers Jet, Big Ticket, and J Bone, too. It’s a carnival of characters, and the videos do a good job of highlighting their quirks. Watching the videos feels like being a silent participant in a buddies’ trip \u2014 there’s golf, inside jokes, and general fooling around from guys in their 30s. Typically speaking, each video features the group playing golf with some kind of challenge. That could be a score, a win-or-lose match-up, an amount of food to eat, a number of drinks to drink, or some combination of those goals. The golf matters \u2014 you root for these guys \u2014 but it’s more about the comedy of the group. <\/p>\n

And it might feel like a buddies trip because everyone involved is \u2014 or was, really \u2014 a normal guy. Berger and Demare met years ago working at the Four Season in Beverly Hills. Stubbe was a desk jockey working an accountant gig. Now, even if you’re not a golf fan, you might recognize Berger from his funny TikTok account<\/a>. He’s been working toward being a creator for a while, but it was golfing with Coldcuts \u2014 and later FP \u2014 that really skyrocketed things. <\/p>\n

So, where are they now? <\/p>\n
