ALBANY, NY – Listeners of The Hudson Valley Disc Golf Podcast were treated to an unexpected endurance test last week when local disc golfer Tim took a full hour to explain the origin of his doubles team name, CamelCaseCorey.
Tim, who was invited on the show specifically to share the backstory behind the name, instead launched into what experts are calling “an unnecessarily detailed historical retelling” of his entire disc golf journey, spanning over a decade of league nights, casual rounds, and questionable ace stories.
“I was excited to learn about the name, but then he just… kept going,” said one exhausted listener. “He must have said ‘and that’s when I caught the disc golf bug’ three or four times. I don’t even know which time was the actual time.”
At approximately the 23-minute mark, Tim was still reminiscing about the first time he threw an Innova Leopard, a moment he described as “spiritual.” By minute 42, he had segued into a passionate retelling of his first C-tier cash finish, a performance that no one had asked about but which he assured the audience was “legendary.”
Co-hosts of the podcast, clearly trapped in the vortex of Tim’s storytelling, attempted multiple times to steer him back to the original topic. “So, Tim, about CamelCaseCorey…” one of them interjected at minute 51, only for Tim to immediately recall a “wild” doubles round from 2014 that involved a disputed foot fault and a particularly aggressive squirrel.
Finally, at the 58-minute mark, after thoroughly exhausting every tournament memory and every disc he’s ever thrown, Tim revealed the long-awaited origin of CamelCaseCorey:
“Oh, yeah, it’s because my buddy Corey always wrote his name in camel case in his emails,” he said flatly.
Silence followed. The hosts, now spiritually defeated, could only muster a quiet, “Cool.”
Reaction from the disc golf community was swift. “I thought it was going to be something epic, like a legendary ace or an inside joke that required at least minor explanation,” said one listener. “But no. Just email formatting. I want my hour back.”
Despite the feedback, Tim remains unfazed. “I think it’s important for people to know the full context,” he said in a follow-up interview, which, sources say, is still ongoing.
