All right, folks, welcome back.
This is the third installment of the Bob does sports podcast.
We are here today with a big friend of the pod here, Bryson.
What's up, guys?
I'm glad to be here, man.
Thank you.
So Bob's not going to be with us today, but we're going to get him to join in in a little bit.
And we have the privilege of getting to do some filming with you yesterday and today.
And one of the things that really intrigues me is just how you want to grow the game of golf
and how you want to establish your, you know, kind of your way into the social media platform
with everything you have going on and what, you know, whatnot.
How do you anticipate that's going to turn out for you?
That's a lot of, I mean, one question, I guess.
No, thanks for having me on, guys.
This is fun.
You guys were awesome yesterday.
We had a great time.
FP, I was impressed with your golf game.
Whoa.
Wow.
Thanks, great.
I was, actually.
I appreciate it.
It took a little while to warmed up.
But once you got going, it was, it was mind of the impressive.
So I was happy with that.
Cold cuts, I mean, struggle to be a little.
Struggle buzz, but that's okay.
We bring the entertainment.
That's what we do, though.
That's right.
Yeah, I mean, look, it's a sensitive topic, obviously, right now with growing the game in regards to where I'm at and my career.
And, you know, with the golf, I understand it.
I think down the road, people will eventually understand what's going on, what they're trying to accomplish.
But as of now, like, with the research.
resources that I now have, I'm very blessed. I mean, this, this opportunity has allowed me to do things in Dallas
that I never thought were possible this quickly and early in my life. And so giving back for me is going to be a huge
aspect to this. I would say one of the most important things is junior golf. One of the pillars of
my foundation, the Bryson DeShambe Foundation, is junior golf. Secondly, it's health. So my dad had diabetes or has
diabetes and he's lost a leg and a foot because of it has gotten a kidney from the natural kidney
foundation through a good friend high school friend of his so the national kidney foundation is huge for
me Shriners hospitals I won the PGA event there so I still support them and we'll continue to do so
and then St. Jude as well as was what I want to give to and I'm coming up with different ideas and
thoughts of who else to give to based on you know what I believe is is right and what
charity organization is doing the right things around the world. And then lastly, education,
I've got an interesting idea. And this is a lot. I know I'm trying to explain it all. But,
you know, education is something I'm very passionate about. When I was younger, I was never great
in school, but I was super dedicated to being the best and find a distinct advantage. And that's why I was
able to have straight A's, but it took me two or three times as long to study and get things through
my head to figure stuff out. And I'm like, why don't I just get it? I don't understand.
understand it. It doesn't make sense to me. Well, partially it was because it wasn't relative to what I loved.
I was not really truly interested in it. And so one of the things that I thought of was like,
well, shoot, like what if we could build an education system where you loved what you learned?
You learned everything about what you love, right? And so for me, it was it was golf. As I started relating
education to golf, I become immediately interested in all the subject matters around that.
So whether it was reading, writing, history, math, science, whatever it was,
became super interested and allowed me to focus on that.
So I came up with two principles of, or two questions of why our education system isn't doing as well.
One of them is, well, they're not interested when they're growing up because it's not something they want to do, right?
Like your kid, you want to go out and ride your bike or do something else, right?
The school's not on the top of the priority.
No, no.
But what if you could learn about riding a bike?
You know, he became immediately interested in that.
And then it specializes you a little bit quicker.
So the second problem is you get in college, you're like, I don't know what I want to do with my life after school.
Yeah.
It's always just a hog posh of like, well, I just got to figure it out now.
Rather than, oh, hey, I know already what I want to do because I'm extremely interested.
I'm passionate for it.
I love it.
And I've learned a lot about it already.
Right.
So that's kind of my education.
It's a pillar.
It's funny that you say that you weren't that great in education because like the stigma of you in golf is that you're like this mad scientist.
And like you kind of.
You kind of know all this stuff and you're reading.
You got all these, you know, plyometrics that you're looking at.
Yeah.
And that makes sense to what you're saying is like that the math, science, the engineering, all that stuff started to like be interesting to you.
When it related to the golf swing and angles and things like that.
So it's like we all, we all in school, we have like, you know, you have like, you know, word problems, right?
Like in math, like Lisa's got eight bananas.
Yeah, exactly.
She gave two to Cindy and like how many bananas?
Like, let's like, I don't give a shit about bananas, right?
And if it's like, you know, you have a golf swing, you speed up, you know, your swing by two miles now.
And you come a little bit from this angle.
Like, what's the change in the tour?
Like, then you're like, oh, like, I can, I can picture that.
I can understand that.
And I want to learn about that.
So that makes, yeah, it makes total sense what you're saying.
You got it.
And so that's what we're going to be doing.
I'm building a multi-sport complex center here in Dallas, getting some land right now and
then going to put a charter school in there eventually and tied into my foundation.
So that's, that's my overall plan with it.
And I'm excited about that.
It's definitely a new, new level, new,
venture for me. You know, golf has always been the reason to why I've been somewhat successful in
life and it will continue to be so and do so hopefully, God willing. But I will say that because
I've got these resources now, I've got more responsibility than ever before. Absolutely. And that's
the thing that people don't realize, you know, I'm putting the money back here in Dallas and paying taxes
here, right, and helping infrastructure, helping people in communities and whatnot.
people I think assume that the whole thing's, you know, to some extent is a money grab.
And, you know, players are being greedy and they just want more, like, isn't enough enough.
But it's like when you talk about what you can do with the money, it's not just, you're not just like I have more money in my bank account.
It's I can do all these things in your community where you're from that this opportunity affords you that you couldn't do before.
So it makes you feel better about what you're doing.
You're making an impact, something that lasts more than, you know, the third round of golf of some tournament, right?
It's something that has an impact.
And I respect people's viewpoints of when is enough enough.
I totally get that.
I respect that because people work in nine to five jobs that aren't making anywhere near it.
I totally get that.
But there are ways in that nine to five job to be able to save up enough to get yourself free from those strangleholds.
There are ways to do it.
And it takes a lot of hard work.
But there's a book that I read, The Richest Man in Babylon.
That actually helped me understand finances initially.
right off the bat of how to save your money, how to put it towards the right things,
and then also just how to be associated with the right people.
That's a big thing.
Relationships in life are so important.
And the reason why I've been successful is the people that I have around me,
not necessarily because of my thought process or anything.
It's because of other people's help in regards to wanting to care and take care of me.
Well, it's also very clear how genuine you are about giving back.
Yeah, that's not a question.
Yeah, it's so important.
And it comes across.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
And it means a lot to me because I grew up with not much.
I mean, my family, Fresno, California, my mom and dad still lived there in the same house I grew up in.
Yeah.
And they're just about to move up out to Dallas because they're going to, or my mom's going to retire.
But I remember walking door to door during the summer months, or summer months because my parents didn't have the full funds to go play junior golf events.
Asking for money at house, just different.
houses. I'd go up to the door. Hey, I'm playing junior golf. My name is Bryson Schambo.
You know, we're struggling a bit for money. Is there any way you can sponsor me a little bit
to give me some money so I can go play? One of the things, we, we collaborated with Bohosser, too.
He's a great guy. And one of the things that he was telling us, which I think a lot of people don't
realize is just how hard it is to kind of get into the game. And like, when you're trying to
establish a name for yourself, like just how hard it is to kind of get yourself situated and
get set up. And I think a lot of people don't realize like the struggles that go.
in to trying to become a professional golfer.
It's, it's, it's, it would like,
hearing his story is unbelievable and I'm sure you have something similar where it's
just like, he beat me a junior world.
I hope that's not.
No, I'm okay with that. I love it because what's funny
is that week changed my entire life. I'd always
looked up to the junior worlds as being like,
that's the tournament I want to win.
I've got to win this event. And
when I was 17, it was giving myself my best chance. I shot
like 32 on the back nine going in, birded the last few holes,
and Boe Haasler just absolutely decimated it
and beaming by three or something like that.
But that week changed my life because Josh Gregory from SMU
just went to SMU.
He won the national championship with Augusta State
past couple years.
I think 2010, 2011, and then 2012 he went to SMU
and he recruited me and he offered me my first full ride.
at a school that was that high and high up there.
And I was like, look, you just won two national championships.
I'm totally willing to put myself behind that coach.
Yes, right.
Exactly.
So I was like, yeah.
So I actually committed to SMU without even seeing the campus.
That's great.
I just seeing Dallas.
It's funny how things kind of work out like that sometimes where you think, you know,
you have something in mind and you want to pursue something and it turns out completely different,
but ultimately turns out for the best, right?
Yeah.
And that's the thing in life.
you've got to look when one door closes another opens and you never have to think like
oh this is it i can't live life without this there's always going to be more opportunities down
the road no matter what you do one of the other things that's crazy is i mean the fact that we're
in the same space now in social media i mean you have a you know we're we're not not exactly
like anything to marvel at you know from a golf perspective press is a good player but my point is
it's funny it's like that's the beauty i think of social media and what it's bringing to the game is that
someone like you who's so established and well done,
you know, well accomplished on, you know,
professional level can come into the same space
as a bunch of friends who are just going out and shooting the shit
and having fun and golfing and we can collab and we can do different things.
And it makes it appealing for people to see that like golf can be fun.
Like it's, it's for me, this is why I love what we do.
This is why I enjoy what we do so much.
Because when people hit me up and they say,
we're building the game of golf and I'm like,
we're putting videos out on YouTube.
YouTube like what are we doing?
But it makes it appealing and it makes it enjoyable.
And I think like breaks down a lot of the stigmas that golf has, which I think for us is,
is the most enjoyable aspect of it.
And now to have you working with us is so awesome.
And like, it's just like, it's just kind of insane how that platform works that everybody can
kind of get incorporated within it and can grow the game in their own way.
Yeah.
And that's the cool part.
I think, look, growth in the game, people have their own opinions on it.
And, um, definitely a sense of it.
topic.
But no matter what, you putting your money, your resources, your time towards the game of
golf in some capacity that showcases how enjoyable, fun, and fun it is while developing
relationships, that's what this game is all about.
That's why it's so beautiful.
And whether it's the PGA tour or your local chapter section or you know, you're just
going out and playing a game of NASA or whatever.
is you're doing your enhancing the game of golf.
By continuing to play the game,
by continuing to go out and play nine, 18,
whatever it is, it is so important for people to see,
like, look, that is a part of the ecosystem
of growing the game.
And in whatever capacity you can provide,
it's important.
You're trying to shoot down to the people
for trying to come up with new ideas around the game of golf.
Not necessarily, I would say, is a positive thing.
Why would you do that?
Why would you do that?
I mean, like, foot golf, for example, right?
Yeah.
I know you guys talked about that one of your videos.
We did.
Yeah.
We saw like, Gling golf.
Like there's that one where you like.
Yeah.
There's a big golf.
Yeah.
So any avenue off of that is kind of fun.
It's awesome.
I mean, look at what Drive Chipp and Putts doing.
I think it's amazing.
I think what August is doing is fantastic.
I think it's awesome.
Um, so from my perspective, anything you do to help get more people into the game,
getting a golf ball into a hole.
It's awesome.
And I'll say this.
I mean, you know your shit when it comes to like the YouTube and like the social media.
Like when we were, even yesterday, like when you see the players on tour,
You don't necessarily get that picture of them.
But even yesterday, like, they get it.
They know what's up.
Like, you come into the camera.
Like, you know the game.
And you're like, it's, it's impressive to take that second step.
It's really cool, too, Jed.
Yeah.
But not everybody can do it.
I mean, you're building on there as well as your golf career.
It humanizes players, too.
So when they come on a channel, like, people can get a different aspect that they just don't see from day to day.
The funny, the little, the funny remarks, the little jokes, isn't that?
We made a hilarious video yesterday.
I think it's just, it's really cool to see that you guys are regular people.
You go out, you probably have fun golfing just like we do when we're with our boys.
And people don't see that.
So it's really cool.
I appreciate that.
And that's exactly the message I want to get across.
People don't understand that albeit I love practicing.
I love, and I'm dedicated to my crap and being a professional and trying to shoot the lowest score possible.
There's some days where I just want to go out at sunset and just have fun and kick it with the boys.
How impressive?
The Twilight round is best.
How impressive was it?
How impressive was it?
I mean, I know he's a pro and one of the best in the world,
but you're out there for four hours in the heat
and they hit the range before and we're like,
fuck, we got to get out of here and we like turned around.
Bryson was back on the range.
Just smack and balls.
And we're like, holy shit.
Him and Martin were both out there.
Some guys are built, I mean, you know, it makes sense.
Jeff was fascinated by that.
Well, no, you just walked to the range.
I was like, get me the fuck out of him.
Yeah, it was so hot, man.
I just need to go to the pool and the AC.
Yeah.
And Bryce, it's like, stingers.
I'm like, this is why I did.
This is why he plays for a little bit.
semi-passionate about the game. I was going to say semi-psychotic, but that doesn't sound good.
They can be the same. I can be. I'm a zealot in regards to being better.
One of the other things we wanted to talk about is your diet and how, how, I mean,
he's obviously, for those of you watching at home, he's eating during this and it's, we talked
about this yesterday. You have now a specialized chef who's helping you out now. And you look
lean, dude. You look like way different. I thought we were going to get big macho
brison out here, but you look good, man. Thank you. I appreciate that. Just like you guys. You all
look good too.
We look well eaten.
I want to take care.
That's also specialized.
But tell us about like just the importance that nutrition plays in your training and
your preparation for golf and how important it is to you.
So when I went on this journey of trying to get, you know, hit the ball farther and get
longer, I went on this dirty bulk and I just ate anything and everything.
Cottage cheese?
Yeah, well, no, worse stuff than that.
I mean, I'm talking like donuts and just terrible stuff for your body.
I didn't realize how it would affect me.
I tried to eat or drink healthy protein shakes.
Didn't really help because I just kept chugging 50 of them pretty much.
Yeah.
And that's okay.
It's fine for a dirty bulk and trying to gain size.
But I got up to 241 pounds at one point.
And you know, in college I was 195 pounds.
Yeah.
So yeah, I didn't look super fat, but I got to, I got to have to be able to, I got to
I was definitely chubby.
I was very, very chubby and thick.
And that was when I won pretty much won the US Open during that timeframe, which is,
which is awesome shows I can be in that state and still win and play good golf.
But I just looked at myself, I'm like, I don't like the way I look.
I feel terrible.
I just, it's feel heavy and everything and it's not good.
So I decided to start slowly leaning down over time.
Don't want to just do stuff too quick.
And my eating habits, I'm very bland.
So I love, you know, chicken, rice.
steak, very bland stuff that's not necessarily always healthy for you. And I just recently took
a gut biome test. I'm allergic to so many things that I love. So many things. I'm scared to take
one of those things. Half the stuff that you like eating, you realize it's not good for you.
Eggs, dairy, corn. Like, corn is in everything. People don't realize corn is it. So I'm not trying to
be like a health nut here, but I'm learning so much more now. And just in the two and a half days
that I've had a chef meal prep for me for five days.
And I've been eating these meals and smoothies and healthy like snacks.
I've lost four pounds in three days.
So has that affected your game?
No, no, no, no, no.
Well, if anything, it's allowing me to have, because I was so fatigued all the time.
My head was foggy.
And now I feel like I don't have to have as much water.
I don't have to have as much.
Like there's good stuff finally being used in my body compared to what was being used before.
It was just getting stuck in there and just not going to.
going out. But what I was going to say is that I feel so much better just over the three days
of having someone. So I feel like it's a great investment for me at my level to be able to do that.
And just consciously thinking about it every day is tough to do. It's not sustainable either.
You can't just eat the same thing every single day. Yeah, man. It's not sustainable.
You can have chicken and rice every day for three weeks. No chance. That's not healthy one day.
Mentally it's not healthy is what I mean. And so I'm not I'm sensitive to rice by
the way. So like I can't have rice. It's brutal. Like I don't know what I can do. But she's
she's done a great job. Carry out. That's her services. It's called carry out. She's been
awesome. But anyway, uh, I'm testing out and, you know, when I moved to the new place,
she's probably going to be there for a long time for all my buddies that are here. I mean,
we got three or four people, three people to live here. It's like a, it's like a, it's a,
glorified frat house, I guess you could say here. It is. Well, it's a creative, it's a creative
house for sure.
One of your buddies yesterday, Martin's just a great guy,
German, long drive champion.
This guy's just an absolute
just, I called him Big Red out there.
He's just a, he's a Viking.
I thought he was going to kind of be a little bit
like kind of withheld, but he got out there
and he was, he loves the camera, man.
This guy is an entertainer.
A hundred percent. That's what he brought him on board of
Regency. I mean, as the one thing, I wanted
to have great golfers in
their aspect or in their fields
that
are literally able to showcase a different side of the game of golf.
They're entertainers.
We got Robbie calling because he wanted to join in on a couple questions.
Obviously, Robbie's feeling under the weather.
Let's bring them in here.
Bob?
Joseph.
You're on the Bob does sports podcast.
What's up, bud?
You're on your own podcast without being here.
Way to go.
Kind of like, what is it like inception right now?
so um bryson's right here you had a couple questions no yeah let me let me get let me get some bryson
action for a second here all right he's here we got you bob is a big fellow on he's here yeah he's
listening to you right here my man what's up dude how you doing i'm gonna tell you man what an absolute dagger
for this to have it at this time yeah i mean i would say it's more like a excalibur but that's okay
yeah yeah i think one could say i'm kidding though
All right, I got, I got two questions for you, okay?
And then I'm going to let you be with the boys.
Perfect.
Love it, man.
Question one, okay?
From your standpoint, not from what you've heard, just from your standpoint, one to ten, how hungover was Fat Perez coming to your house this morning?
I've hit it well.
He's done pretty good.
I mean, Bobby, he isn't showing it much.
To be honest.
To be honest, he's like a four right now.
Wow.
Pretty good.
And you're doing good.
Inside of me, it's a tent.
And I could sniff that out pretty quickly, too.
So.
It's bad.
Perez got after it last night.
Oh, did you really?
I did.
You look really well-cut this morning.
I am not.
I'm having chills, and I'm just holding it together.
Wow.
I misread that.
I've never been so excited to watch my own podcast.
Love it.
Brison, I got one more for you and I'll let the boys go.
Yeah.
When I watch you, even from a YouTube standpoint, like from a content, you just seem like you have a ball doing content, and filming content, like, kind of doing what we're doing.
If had the tour been more open to giving access to the so-and-so influencer, copyright for content, and all of that, do you think that it would have affected major decision any harder than it already was?
Yes, I can absolutely answer that to be 100% true.
Seems like you have much fun if you have, you know, playing pro.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, that's one of the things that I talk to the tour extensively about.
I'm trying to figure out, hey, how can we all work together to make content and how can I benefit off of it as well as you guys?
I mean, they use our, we sign our media rights off every single week, and I respect that.
And that's just the way it's set up.
but trying to convince them and have them see the light of day where let's make it mutually beneficial.
They would say, oh yeah, we're growing your brand and we're providing you exposure.
And I said, okay, I understand that.
But why isn't there anything else than that?
You know, I've already got a huge following.
How is it going to increase my following even more?
I don't see it.
I don't understand it.
Why can I monetarily gain from it as well, just like you guys are gaining?
Right.
Makes sense.
You know, and so that it's a, it's a lot.
again, it's not being being greedy. It's more of being mutually beneficial and fair and equitable.
That's the way I look at it from producing a product. That's the way I see it.
Yeah, and it seems regardless of what you think about Live, there's no question that it is open to the PGA's now mind to where they kind of have to because of the access that Liv is given to guys less.
They kind of have to be a little more open-minded to it. So I'm appreciative for them for that.
Yeah, absolutely. And that's one of the things you guys coming out there.
would love to have you out. There's no doubt they would love to have you guys come out and do some
fun stuff, fun content. So they're all about. They want to, they want to help showcase the
game and golf in a new unique way. And I think that's what you guys do as well. Yeah, well,
we try. No, you do, you do a good job. You got a lot of, you do try. Come on. I mean, when I'm shanking
a ball, I don't know how much that's the proof. But I will, I do relate. That's right.
Relatability is my biggest asset, I guess in the YouTube space. But, well, Bob, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you dearly. We
We wish you could be here.
Obviously, we'll have to reconnect with you, Bryce,
and Bob's here because obviously it's Bob does sports.
He's a major contributor of everything we do
and has brought, you know, all of us together.
And it's just, he's just an awesome time
and one of the most positive people you'll ever meet on the golf course.
So, Bob, we hope you feel better
and we can't wait to get you back out here soon, man.
Yeah, well...
Hey, knock them dead fellows, Bryce,
and we appreciate you coming on, man.
Thanks, Bob.
Yeah, no problem.
And we're going to have to get out and play some golf soon.
Bob, you got to watch this guy hit a golf ball, man.
And Martin.
And Martin.
And Martin, yeah.
I can't wait.
You know, you felt a little bit
subconscious of your drives beforehand.
Once you try to tee off after these two guys,
it's a little belittling, to be honest.
He's going to give the gel,
the jet hell with that shot,
Tracer.
Yeah, that's going to go on the screen.
It's going to go off the screen.
There was one shot yesterday, Bob,
where we, it was a dog leg right.
And Bryson, I guess he'd
played the course before.
So he goes, this is the line you got to do.
And it looked like he was,
sitting in the middle of the suburbs.
He went over people.
And in Martin, they blasted a drive so far
right. I was like, that thing's gone, and they
were both on the green. It was
really amazing to watch.
No, Jet, even Jet was impressed.
On the last hole, you had a wedge into
a par five, like a sand wedge into
the par five. Number eight, yeah.
Yeah, it was unreal. That was just,
but we got to get you out here, Bob, and
connect because it's a lot of fun being able to
film with this guy.
Hey, knock him dead, boys.
All right, Bob.
Hey, get better, man.
Still on the live topic, but just a little bit different from it.
What from like the competitive, like tournament aspect formatting the teams and all that?
What from like a competition perspective are you most excited about?
I think building the teams.
I think building the teams out and then it's starting to have rivalries.
Okay.
Actual rivalries on the tour.
I mean, you know, you had Brooks and I on a tour last year and you had Tiger and Phil.
You've had numerous like VJ and Tiger and then Ernie and Tiger and whatnot, but you've never had like a group of people, you know.
Like teen.
Yeah, right?
Well, still very fresh too, right?
That's going to have to establish itself.
How are you in Brooks these days?
I mean, personally, I have the most respect for him and the decisions he made moving to live because for both of us, I think we both respect each other a lot more now because it was not an easy decision and we both understand how difficult it was to go this route.
per the social implications, per the financial implications, albeit it was very positive for both of us.
I mean, there was definitely a chance that, you know, this may not work out and we would lose everything, right?
You know, so I have the most respect for him and no issues.
Do we see IDI all the time? Probably not.
But was it kind of played up a little bit too, would you say, or was there actually like a little bit of tension there during the match in that time?
There definitely was tension.
Yeah.
It was not, we're just going to go have fun and make money.
This is like, no, we want to demolish you and he demolished me.
He definitely beat me that round, you know, which is fair play to him.
I have no issues with it.
It's golf.
You win some, you lose some.
That's a tough environment too, though.
When you're doing it, it's televised in the way that it was.
It's got to be hard to kind of, you know, there's so much going on.
But you just got to deal with it.
Did the Ryder Cup help with that?
Did the Ryder Cup help with that?
For that week.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was nice for that week.
But after that, it's.
Back to normal.
It was just back to business.
Yeah, yeah.
I got a question about back before when you change your body the first time.
Yeah.
Were you expecting the reaction?
Like, were you prepared for how polarizing it was going to be?
No.
And was after that, did you notice that you were getting, say, more respect afterwards from the guys?
Or guys were like, what's this guy doing?
It was a mix of both.
I think when I did accomplish winning the US Open.
the US Open when I won that that was big for people to go wow he accomplished that
after changing his whole body I respect him for that there's still people that go he's
psycho and weird and a unique dude and you know I don't know whatever whatever
they thought about me well you took a chance I mean you did your thing and then you
proved your I mean you won the US Open so that's kind of winning yeah I won Arnold
Palmer I won rocket mortgage you know and then I had an injury me being stupid and me
not taking care of my hands I took care of everything else besides
sides just my hand.
How was your hand doing now?
Are you feeling better?
No, it's great.
I mean, you guys can see it.
I always have a smile on my face.
You look like you were striking the ball so good yesterday.
And I haven't seen, you know, like you recently.
Obviously, you did very well recently and, you know, British Open, which was awesome to see.
But you look like you're just feeling really loose out there.
I'm getting my form back finally.
It's taken a year and about a year.
right around this time I started playing well.
Caves Valley I played really well.
But there was something I did back in 2018 that helped me win four times.
I was just incredibly consistent, had my game on lock,
and I figured some stuff out with my golf swing.
2019, I started to tinker around with some stuff
and didn't have the form that I did in 2018.
And then I got kind of bored with golf because it just wasn't enjoyable for me.
I was getting a lot of harsh criticism.
you know the fans people just weren't um on my side at all and i was by myself and i didn't have
anybody around me to you know true friends to help me out i'm just like man i don't know what to do
i got to change something i got to i got to do something to make it more interesting for me because
in the end of the day like i don't i don't want to be here doing this and even in uh 2021 when i was
getting a lot of a lot of hate as well it's just you get to a certain point where you just
belittle someone so much you just push them out of there's no incentive for me to keep going
And I was lucky enough to have a good friend, Chris Pratt, you help me out with understanding, look, the character you are out there, that's what they're presenting you to be.
And you either got to play that character or you have to just remove yourself, you know, because the character you are or the person you are at home is not the character you are on there.
Like, especially in an entertainment.
It's like an actor walking on the stage, you know.
A hundred percent.
And when I heard that, I was like, okay, maybe I could do this.
That doesn't mean I've been fake.
It just means that when I'm mad or frustrated, I can't show anything.
There's just zero emotion.
You can't do it because they're going to villainize you and make you that type of person this time goes on.
All the good moments and all the reactions, the positive reactions.
That's me.
That's me being natural, being really happy about when I play well.
But on the other stuff, you just, you got to be a professional and you can't truly show your emotions, which is too bad.
Because it's shortening the entertainment product.
It's shortening what I could provide from an entertainment perspective.
Being said, I will say in present, I talked about this on a prior episode.
Golf, when you get too emotional in golf, it impacts your game in a big, big way.
It's well, but look at Tiger though.
Look how mad he would get and it almost fuel him.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
So there's.
Tiger is a special breed.
He's very special.
But there are times I'd never forget when I got super, super mad on the golf course, I'm going
to go birdie the next three holes.
Yeah.
So I never correlated that, you know, being frustrated to bad golf.
If that was the case, I would have never gotten mad.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
That makes sense.
Like, from my perspective, I would have never done that hat.
I'd known that affected me in a negative way.
Sure.
Right.
So that's kind of the tough part for me.
That's why I always struggled with my attitude growing up was like, when I got frustrated,
it made me more passionate and more focused and allowed me to work harder and go birdie,
birdie, or whatever and play well.
And that was a tough part for me because I'm like, now what do I do?
I have to use that to my advantage to play better.
But if I don't, then I'm just going to be a, you know, lolly gagging around.
Like, oh, everything's okay, a kumbaya sort of mentality.
I don't want that either, right?
Well, there's some guys who give nothing.
Like Patrick Cantley, to me, is one of the most boring people to watch golf because he gives nothing.
But it works for him, right?
Whereas there's other people who, you know, who emit a ton of emotion.
I am a mental headcase when I play.
Jordan emits emotion.
And he's passionate.
I mean, but it's, you know, I think it's entertaining in that sense from what you're saying.
So that's going to be a little bit tough for you to kind of rein that back, no?
It definitely is because I am a character.
I'll tell you, I can, I can go full bore.
like even yesterday.
You could see you,
even with just playing us,
you want to win.
It's,
there's a natural competitor in you.
That,
but also off camera too,
like it's even more different
because,
you know,
on camera you've still got to be
somewhat professional
and respectful and whatnot,
but,
you know,
I'm just a kid of heart.
I love messing around,
having buddies around.
I mean,
that's why I've got
my best friends living
in my house.
It's awesome.
It's just fun.
It's a fun environment.
I enjoy it.
Martin Borgmeyer,
he's what,
in his 30s and he's got a kid
and he's coming over here
acting like a kid.
I mean, this is what we're doing over here.
Well, we really appreciate you taking some time out this week for us, man.
It's been awesome meeting you.
We're going to have some videos coming out, obviously, on your page, on our page.
I think you guys are going to really love it.
And thanks again for everything, man.
It's been awesome.
The only regret is that obviously Bob wasn't here to join us.
But, no, man, it's been really cool again to meet you.
Perez, Jed, anything else you want to add?
Yeah, come on.
You haven't said much, Perez.
Come on.
Like I said, I am violently hung over right now.
I'm in my head.
Talking about masking emotions.
That's what I'm doing right now.
I'm masking a hangover.
How was the hot or the hot sauce challenge?
Oh,
God, man.
You know,
it's funny.
It's like in the beginning,
it was fine.
And it's this thing where you like,
you know what's coming.
It's like,
it's so,
like,
I don't even know how to explain it.
Like,
you know you're walking through a door
and someone's going to hit you with the bat.
Like,
you're walking through a bunch of doors
and you know one of these doors,
someone's going to hit you with the bat.
That's what it felt like.
It was like,
is this going to be the one?
is this going to be the one?
And then finally you got to the one.
And it was like,
it was pretty bad.
This is horrible.
And I have two more hot sauces left.
Oh my gosh.
And you're trying to play golf.
It's hot.
You know,
we're drinking milk out there to try to like get our,
well,
by the time we needed it,
by the time we needed it.
Yeah.
By the seventh hole,
it was warm,
but it didn't make a difference.
But this was Perez's first,
like,
official challenge that we've done,
which is great.
We want to get him more involved
because he's just hysterical.
We did speed golf.
You guys tried to kill me with that.
Speed golf.
But like, I think this was the easiest one that we've done, if I'm being honest.
Yeah, I'm pretty good with spice.
The hot dog challenge was the worst.
You seem solid with spice.
That was what you're just layered going on.
Yeah, I got a little liberal with you got a little, you got a little ahead of your skis.
I got too cocky with the hardest sauce and it hit me like a bag of bricks.
But that being said, I mean, it's just these are fun things that like what we said to you yesterday is like people can watch our challenges.
And you don't even need to know too much about golf and just find the entertainment value so high.
and like it kind of ropes people in
and people are like these guys are hysterical
and then all of a sudden they're watching us
in the next video do a three man scramble
and we're playing golf so that's kind of our way
to kind of introduce people into our world
and kind of bring them into the wackiness that we have
jet's been involved in all of them
yeah I mean it's just super cool to like
be sitting here with Bryson like the fact that we're just like
it's wild and like just from the end like even little things in golf
like that drive at Bay Hill that you had
and the drive at the Ryder Cup like that random shit
that nobody else provides.
It's a real entertainment valley.
And after seeing you yesterday,
I mean,
I think you got a future in the game, man.
Thanks.
I'm working hard to be a professional.
You got jet on your side.
Thanks.
But lots of fun, man.
Thanks so much again.
