Fore Play - A Gaping Hole Reveal

Episode Date: July 15, 2021

We talk Brooks’ comments on Royal St. George’s, Bryson’s denial on not yelling “Fore”, and thriving in northern Michigan. We’re all together in person and it’s a fantastic vibe.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. For Play, I'm at Barstool Sports. We are live from Forest Dunes in Michigan. We just arrived within the last 20, 30 minutes. There's a lot going on right now. I'm going to be honest with you guys. More for some than others.

It's been a nightmare of a morning, for me, personally. Okay. Do you want to go into it more deep? Do you want to go jump in right now? Should we leave with that, you think? Well, I don't know all the details of it, because we rode in different cars on the way in. I rode with Jake and Ebug, and you guys were all in a different car, and apparently you guys had a conversation that I was not privy to, but I think we're going to talk about it on today's show. Look, this is a beautiful place, and I really want people to understand when we discuss this place that I don't want the conversation that's about to take part to kind of stain, if you will, no pun intended, the, you know, what we're looking at right here, because it's gorgeous and we're going to get into it.

It's also an honest show. We're very... 100%. It's a show about our lives. We're very raw and real with people. My honest day, because you've got a new pair of shorts on. I'm standing right now where everybody else is sitting during the podcast. Almost like I have one of those standing desks, but it's not for that reason.

They say that extends your life. Our guy, Dr. Sinclair, says that. Standing desk. Lertr, aren't you a standing desk kind of guy? I am. I was. Now, home office, I don't have a standing desk. So I think I have a tear in my rectum.

We're getting right into it That's going to hurt the years You know everybody just got belted with that They weren't sure what it was And now they know I'm pretty positive that's the case You got a bloody asshole It's interesting though

Because prior to you know The 40 minute drive over here or whatever You made mention of it But when we were driving You didn't make any mention of it And now since being here Been a complete issue Because you've got a new pair of shorts

I started with a pair of pink shorts That was a mistake today And again This is a raw show if you don't like this part, you can fast forward. But what happened was Saturday I woke up. Raw. And I noticed a just sort of an uncomfortable feeling inside of my bum.

But it wasn't a problem. It was like it just sort of hurt at times when maybe I would use the restroom or something of that nature. But walking around and stuff, it was fine. No signs of anything. No visual signs of anything. Okay. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, same exact symptoms. It was like, unless I was really feeling around there, maybe cleaning up after something, it didn't hurt a ton.

It was a little uncomfortable. It was fine. I woke up this morning, used the restroom, looked down, you know, toilet paper, and blood in the toilet and on the toilet paper. Boy. And I was like, well, no, that's not good. Same pains. Again, I could walk around fine like a normal human being. It doesn't really feel that bad.

Played golf last night with Lurch, 18 holes. Grand Travers, great spot, bare course. Not much issue. wore my pair of pink shorts I was like whatever it's like might hurt a little bit but I'm fine and my pink shorts look great with this blue shirt well I'm telling him when we got here

I went into the restroom and checked on things and I mean it was coming through my shorts are I have to throw them away I and what's the benefit of standing I think if you sit you open things up and you leak a little bit more yeah less disruption it's that raw where just just touching

I mean, do you need a diaper? I don't know, but my thinking is, again, that, like, if I stand and clinch, it's less likely to be as much of a mess. Is it hurt right now? No. It looks like it hurts. You look like a statue. You're not moving. You look very tight.

You look wound up. Well said. Yeah. So, I'll be honest. I don't know what to do. Like, a cut, you can just, like, you can put a band-aid on it. And you're fine. Not in your bumhole.

And I can't, like, get in there and search. It's like, it's just a, I don't know. Your hoop is leaking. I don't know what to do. Man, we've been doing this show for four years, and we've never, ever started a show quite like this. I don't know what to do for being honest with each other. I Google did it basically says, like,

just get better in four or six weeks. Four to six weeks. But each time you relieve yourself, it's just going to keep cutting and tearing and getting worse. It feels like to catch me if you can't situation. It's in a much worse way, but it's like having a paper cut on one of the creases of your fingers because it just keeps opening up.

Except this time it's inside your asshole. Right. It's different, a different spot. God. So I don't know what to do. We're just got to... It's like, it's just a mess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

People get it. Sorry, gang. Everybody out there? I think you got to go to a doctor, dude, because it could be on the outside. You know where we are right up from a little, I know where we're in a doctor playing golf here? This feels like an emergency situation.

Does you want to go in the bathroom with me and we like... I'm not going to look it after it. No. No, I assume we're walking today because you can't cart. Walk? I can walk. I can look from your posture right now that you're a walker. I'm going to take a cart regardless of your bleeding ass on.

I appreciate that. You know where he's up? Me too. You're sitting next to. What? You're sitting next to him. You better watch your shorts. You know what I mean?

I don't think it's a contagious thing. Oh, it may bleed out onto his pants is my point. It would be bad. Get on the seat. You guys change seats. A pool of blood coming out the bottom of your box. We do what's up, Doc. So if anybody's got anything for me.

If there's ever been an opportunity for what's up, doc, it's right now. We've got like five days of awesome golf in front of us. We just arrived. And I, I mean, if this continues, I'm going to bleed out. I'm just not going to happen. Right, I'm going to come back to the cart after chipping or putting and Riggs is going to be passed out. There just won't be any blood left in my body.

Wow. Any advice there? Like, do you take fiber out of your diet now? I guess you're barely eating. Says you need to add fiber and waters. Add fiber and waters. It says, don't eat solid. That seems like a torture.

It's a banana. You got to eat bananas? This was a super quick, like, Google search. But, yeah, basically said, drink a lot of water, get a lot of fiber. Don't eat like constipation food. Yeah. That was pretty much it. You got a nightmare next month, month and a half on your hands based on what this says.

I feel like I would eat constipation food. I'm going to have to look into it more. Make it soft. This just happened. No, just to lessen the number. Oh, constipation food, right. Right. And we're sure, so this, we're saying this is a cut.

We're not sure that you're bleeding inside. I just gave you up. But I don't think, because it hurt for, like, I just wasn't bleeding for four or five days. It felt like there was a cut in there. and then all of a sudden it starts bleeding. I don't know. I will say it's light, light-colored blood, which, from all my knowledge,

is much healthier than, like, dark blood. Okay. Dark blood, you got to go to the hospital. I could be coming from a really bad place. This is very light. I honestly think it's like a surface-level cut inside of my anus that just is really uncomfortable.

That's my best diagnosis. There's a lot of moments during this first five to ten minutes where I just can't believe that it's happening. And that... We are on the most beautiful... area of golf course I've ever been at. We're overlooking what seems to be, you know, probably one of the best resorts in the country.

It's really nice. It has to be. It's absolutely incredible. Crazy nice lodging. We're looking at what I've seen to be one of the best clubhouses I've ever been to. And it just smells like trees. Smells like trees. It looks like just mother nature.

Can't tell you uncomfortable I've been since I got this place. And then it's just blood red now. Oh, God. I can almost taste pennies, you know? What? Like the blood taste? Producer Jake Bass is about to throw up, which would be awesome. Yeah, what's that?

That's like, um, doesn't, uh, blood sort of tastes like pennies. I hope. When do you put pennies in your mouth? No, no, no. It's like the metal taste. Jake's going to throw up. It would be awesome if Jake threw up on his laptop. I mean, the difference between how the three of us feel right now and, like, the beauty

that we're looking at, and Riggs is just trying to go moment to moment. Let me tell you something right now. One of the worst days of my life. My whoops at an 85. I had coffee. I woke up. I felt great. I still feel great.

Oh, yeah. Here's the thing about Forest Dunes now is now we've made it the place where Riggs bled. Oh. All right. And people are going to come here and they're going to see, all right, they're going to look around. They're going to make this is the place that this guy's bumhole started leaking on them. What did you open? You hide it?

No, you can't hide it. You can hide it when you change shorts. Actually, everybody saw you go into the locker room. And we saw, everybody saw you in. in pink shorts. And there were some news that came out was like, he's really dealing with something in there. And then when you came out in blue shorts, didn't say anything. Sherlock Holmes over here. I even said, before we got into the car to do the trip over here, I was like pink shorts is a little bit scary because those were beautiful, light Peter Milar's

shorts. My outfit was awesome. Now I just look like a blueberry. Right. I've been there. Yeah, me too. With a hint of strawberry. I go blueberry a lot. It's a good color. Which golf course are we playing today. We're playing one of the loops. The red? Red. We're playing the red loop. That's very fitting today. The loop at Forest Dunes, red, oh, no pun intended. They didn't know. Imagine we were supposed to play the blue and they're like, they got to play the What I'm looking at right now in front of me is a little yardage book for the loop.

And the front says the loop at Forest Dunes, red course counterclockwise. And then you flip over this book and it says the loop at Forest Dunes black course clockwise. Boy, are we in for something with the brain today. this we're never going to get through this book i mean we're not smart enough for this i mean so what's the story behind the loop do we get one of the guys in they want to come over here and tell us a story behind the look because i'm looking at one of the more confusing books of of golf i've ever seen you can take this over by frankie you don't want to go by rakes it's not contagious yeah it might be doesn't spit out at people who it might talk us through a little bit about like the history

of the loop and what exactly is it? So the loop is... What's your name, by the way? I'm Tyler. I'm the guest experience manager here at Forest Dunes. Hey, Tyler. Tyler's the reason we're here. We've been going back and forth for months. Glad to have you guys. So the loop is

18 greens. If you think of it as a circle, 18 greens that are played counterclockwise one day and then clockwise the very next day. So it just flips. So if you're thinking about that circle, you're playing that green one way and then the very next say you're just going backwards. So if you

think about the first hole on, or the first green on the red course is going to be the 17th green on the black course. The only two holes, or the only two greens that are going to have the same number are 9 and 18.

Otherwise, otherwise it always adds up to 18. That didn't do it for Frankie. Look at his brain. Frank is long. Because the 1 and 17 screwed you up. But that means the 18th green's got to be by one T-box. So that's where... So it's always going to add up to 18.

So like the second green on the red course is going to be the 16th green on the black course. If you think of it that way. Yep. It makes a lot of sense once you're out there. It's really kind of hard to contextualize when you're just talking about it. Right. You just kind of got to do it. You got to do it.

Once you get out there, it makes more sense. Once you play it once and then you play it the very next day, like you guys are going to do, it's going to be, it'll make a lot more. more sense. So do they feel like similar golf courses or completely different golf courses or? Kind of a little bit of both. It's same, obviously the same style. You're playing the same fairways. But if you didn't know that it was a reversible golf course, you would, and you just played one day, you wouldn't, you wouldn't really realize until you get out there that next day and see, oh my God, I just played this, this green yesterday, but I'm playing it from the opposite

direction. That's when it really clicks. Well, golf's been around for five, six hundred years. anything like this in my life, and I don't think there's ever been anything like this. So to see something that's completely new and unique that we can't even wrap our brains around, it's fascinating. I don't really know what to expect. I'm excited. Yeah, and I think the coolest part is they have all the land in the world here to be able to put just like multiple 18-hole golf courses, and they've done something super unique where it's, it's a destination type of golf course where you want to play the loop. I think that's really cool. I mean, we drove, it took us like a half an hour to get into this property.

the roads are so long. You guys have so much property here. So, yeah, I'm really excited to play something as unique. Like Rick said, golf been around forever. We were just talking about old Tom Morris. My advice to you, Frankie, is just play it like a golf course. I'm just going to play it. I'm going to look at it.

I'm going to look at it. I'm going to be thinking about what I'm doing tomorrow. Totally. Coming right back on that fair way, go the other way. It'll just be like a different approach angle, but you'll know once you're up there, it's going to look and feel the same way, but just the approach is going to be so, so different,

which will be, And now, I guess the pins, yeah, because you're just doing a loop. So there won't be two pins on the greens. Like some par three's, you know, or nine whole courses have two pins and you go back and forth. But interesting. Yeah, that'll be great. So this was like a- Are people hitting at the same green?

No, no, no, no, because it's one day it's, you know, the red loop and then the other day you go back the other way. Because there's Sweetens Coat, they have nine holes, they have two pins, totally different. At some point, somebody on both courses is playing the same green, no? No. because it's its own 18-hole course in a loop, and then day one, it goes from left to right, day two, it goes from right to left. Wait, now I think I'm with Frankie.

Correct. That's never good. Everybody's playing the same direction on one day. You're never playing both directions in the same day. So you're not going to have people playing, you're not going to have people hitting into each other. You're all going clockwise. Today, you're all going counterclockwise.

Tomorrow you're all going to go clockwise. That's like you guys schedule it that way But had it been just chaos We would be hitting that different greens You guys might want to think about it There was a guest experience manager I enjoy that part though I would love to be dodging things

And maybe you give us like a helmet and a cage And it's like roller hockey or something You go out there with like pads on and shit Okay that makes more sense Yeah that's really cool Okay cool I like it Alright man

So correct me if I'm wrong This was like something that Doke wanted to do for a long time right and you know it's it for like a very long time he came up with the idea a long time ago and then you guys obviously were able to partner with him talk about that a little yeah so doke dope kind of always had this in the back of his mind he read this in an old book from like the 1900s early 1900s about it was like a four-hole reversible golf course and he always kind of had it in the back of his mind and just he he he always talked about he needed the right client who would take the risk um and he found luton

Thompson, our previous owner, and pitched in the idea, and he loved it and built it. Now it's still the only true reversible golf course in America. There's other courses that are similar, but they have 27 greens instead of 18. But we're the only truly reversible golf course with just 18 greens. And so essentially we got two golf courses in one for, you know, same, same, maintenance and everything and you don't have to take care of two golf courses when you can only take care of one. So it says here it says,

Welcome to the Loop at Forest Dunes is the first fully reversible 18-hole course in America with the direction of play changing daily. The loop is two courses in one and two yardage books in one, which is going to mess us up the whole week. The black horse plays clockwise around the loop, starting to the left of the 18th green and playing away to the white flag on the horizon. You'll play to white flags for the front nine, red flags for the back nine, just like the old course at St. Andrews.

So it's got like a lot of kind of lineage. and historical roots. So this is going to be cool. And then the next two days, we're going to play the red and then the black. And we're going to, you know, on camera and on film when we put these out in a month or so, hopefully everybody can just understand it because clearly we're not smart enough right now. I think Tyler did a great job explaining. I agree.

I agree. Really good job. We appreciate it. And then the lodging and all that. How much lodgings on here? What's the deal with the original four students course? So we have about 121 beds, if you think about just beds. We have cottages.

We have villas. We have a lodge that's kind of hotel style. So we've got plenty of options there. The Forest Dunes course is built in O2 by Tom Wisecough. It's your typical up north parkland style, lush green grass, fast greens in the woods, white sand, the whole deal. It's what you think of up north Michigan golf. That's what it is.

But it's an amazing golf course in great shape. and I think you guys will enjoy that one too. And then this bar we're at right now is the beginning and the end of the short course. Correct. We have a 10-hole par three course called the bootlegger, and we're sitting at the boot-leger bar. So the first hole, the first hole starts that way, tease it off right at the bar,

and then the 10th hole they actually criss-crossed so that if you want a little bit of chaos, you can get a little bit of chaos. That's what Frankie wants. What a helmet off to him. Starts and ends at the bar, so you get times where there's late at night and there's people at the bar can get pretty rowdy. We've had people betting on the people hitting shots to the green closest to the pin, so it gets loud and rowdy.

And we have music speakers placed periodically around the golf course too, so we've got music going on out there. And it's just meant to be fun, meant to just grab a couple clubs. You don't take your whole bag and just kind of hit shots, get creative, and have fun. It's a golf oasis out here. Yeah. It's great. Really, it is.

Tyler, we appreciate it, man. Thank you very much. Thanks for having us. Thank you, man. And we're going to have a great time. People are going to hear a lot more about this, obviously, with the videos and with more podcasts. Somebody want to talk about Owens Mixers?

I don't really feel qualified right out. Owens Mixers is the greatest mixer company in the game. It's just a fact. They've dominated the market. They've taken it over, and they've really just put a stranglehold on all other mixers. It's the go-to mixer, whether you're making a transfusion. We have the transfusion mix. It is the go-to mixer.

making a paloma like Lurch. I know they have a margarita mix. They just have it all. And Owens Mixers is the greatest partner that we could possibly ask for when it comes to drinks. Yeah, I'm sure we'll be drinking a few while we're out here. The weather is beautiful. Perfect weather for a cocktail. It's like what, like low 80s, high 70s, sunny day.

Perfect. Little breeze. Little breeze. Smells like trees out here. Perfect time to drink a barcel transfusion. Shout out to Owens Mixers. Greatest presenting sponsor in the game. You can get them at CVS's, right?

Amazon. You can look at Owensmixers.com store locator and you're going to find them all around you. They're going to pop up everywhere. But you can also get it on Amazon and they'll ship it right to your door. Do you guys think this place is going to be good or bad for your games? Do you think you're going to play better than average at a place like this or worse than average? Well, we've heard a little bit about the course that we're going to play today. And I know it plays pretty firm.

It plays very link style. It plays like you would over in Scotland. I heard that word, that terminology. I've never really played courses like that. hope that that will help my game. Maybe I can run some stuff up. I can put off greens. I can get a little creative without having to try and fly balls at flag sticks and really get nippy with my wedges.

I think I can kind of just like knock the ball around a little bit. I'm excited about that. I'm nervous about how tough the greens will be because I feel like when you play horses like this, the greens are what defense the horse. It definitely looks firm and fast. So it's just like something that you've got to understand and play too. that Briggs and I played yesterday, they just got a lot of water, so you get something up there and stop pretty much where you hit it. Here it looks like it's just going to run through. It looks

very plush. Which I prefer. Firm and fast, I prefer. Yeah. I just think, like, it suits my game better. I get a little bit more distance as a guy that doesn't hit the ball particularly far. Yeah. And then, like, around the greens, it's like I can be a little bit more creative and you kind of roll it around. You have to fly it everywhere. So generally, I would say I prefer firm and fast. Jake Bass looks like, he's freaking out right now. I saw Jake Bass freak out. Did a bug attack you or something? I was thinking that we didn't, we weren't report. That's just a butterfly, by the way, if you're worried about it.

Okay. Are we all good or no? We can just wait. He says we're all good. He has a look of a man who is not all good. That's true. You always do. What happened?

Talk us through it. A spike in audio that he's going to have to edit. Okay, so we're good. Firm and fast for me. I don't know. Like Frankie, I don't really, we don't play golf course like this all that often, but I'm excited for the challenge. I will say that.

And in America, in generally, you don't play golf courses like this. Right. It's kind of a good amount of symmetry because we've got the British Open this week. Right. They're talking about firm, fast, how different it is over there. It's a little bit more wet than they would like it over there. But obviously, in general, links golf, British Isles-type golf plays a lot more firm and fast. So getting that kind of experience while the British Open's going on, I'm pumped.

I think it's different because we very, very rarely in the United States of America get firm anywhere. I mean, yesterday was a great example of just pretty standard parks. in like American golf where you drive out there and like your balls within three feet of your ball mark in the fairway. Yep. With the driver. 100%. And it's like... On the 18th, you had checks bet. You hit like a ripping draw. I hit like a rip draw driver. My ball was probably six inches behind where it landed. Yeah. And that's like a lot more American golf than sort of this firm and fast type feel. So I'm very excited. This is, it's got the whole kind of golf like Disneyland for golfers

vibe right away. There's golf everywhere. You don't know what holes what. There's butterfly. flying in my face. That was an incredible composure by you. I don't know if we, hopefully we caught that on video. You just kept talking and a butterfly was two inches from your face. You just got so much going on. Right between my eyes. I think that's what it is that I can only focus on so many things. This butterfly is not in my top ten

priority list. How much are you thinking about your asshole right now? Is it constantly on your mind? Yes. It has to be. It's constantly on all of our minds, I think, unfortunately. It sucks. Yeah, it sucks. Okay. I'm very, um, again, this might be graphic, but

all I can really think about is what is it going to look like when I go check on things. Oh, God, bless it. Yeah. You just usually hope those problems are 50 years down the road. Or never, right? Like, or never. Or never, obviously. You just want it to be tight, you know?

You just want things to just kind of stay in there. I mean, swinging's going to be. Once you lose control of that hole. I would say not even control, but confidence. As soon as your confidence is gone in this, it's, If you've lost control, if you've lost confidence in your asshole, I don't know, I don't know how you can come back from that. You don't think about it, but a lot of your confidence radiates from your asshole. Just knowing that it's okay.

Right, that that's the valve that's closed. You know what I mean? My bodily fluids aren't going to fall from the low hole. And you don't realize it until you lose it. Right. And then you're like, I can't believe. You don't know what you got until you fucking lose it. I didn't realize that the heart of my confidence was in my asshole.

Yeah, it's a good point. Mine's not right now. I want to be doing like, I'm going to be doing, like, cancels for my ass. Just tighten that shit up. Cankles. Cankles. That's what you got. That's what I have.

What are they called? Kegles? Kegel exercises. That's how you get to strengthen the. Flipside or silver lining. I don't even know what you call it in regards to this. But if you play really well, it's like your flu game. I could use some silver lining right now.

That would be great. Yeah. Your red lining and your pants. You could use extra lining. Yeah, this would be your flu game. That would be phenomenal. Imagine you shoot a career low. Imagine I go out and I just play horrible,

and I have just my condition going on. That's like, this just sucks. We're rooting for you. Well, I'm rooting for you to play well. Thank you. I will say it's, again, it's not, I'm not in constant pain. Okay.

Just discomfort and lack of confidence. Okay. Your body has betrayed you. Currently, yes. Do you think it's anything you did? I mean, unless someone else came in and penetrated, that might have to be something I. What do you think it was if you were going to pinpoint it?

I had no idea. I just, again, woke up Saturday, felt a little bit of discomfort internally in there, and it just hasn't gone away. It's not Wednesday, but it's been five days or so. Zero signs of blood until this point. Zero, not eight. I think it was like a little bit of a bit of a big. Take fast, we need to stop this recording or what?

Yeah, we're just, this is just where we're at right now. Okay. And it is what it is. My constant reminder is, like, worst things have happened to people. Definitely. Just that's it. We're at a beautiful golf course. And it just is what it is.

I'm alive. That's great. I don't know for how much longer. Hopefully somebody can send me a note and give me confidence that it's not. Life-threatening. Yeah, right. That's correct. I've got something to bring up.

Oh, God. Lurch has made some horrible takes on the show and on Instagram, Twitter. What? You have just like something you takes on just everything on life. Today you did something on Instagram that really just can't be overlooked. And you're on a flight. yesterday. You took a photo of,

what looked to be Mott's tomato juice. Yep. And you wrote, is this, is there a greater, is there a better flight drink? Yes. Than Mots tomato juice? And I stand by that. I would say maybe if Riggs had,

is that the worst thing. It's the poll, what's the poll said? I saw it. It was like 80 to 90% said no. I didn't even want to click on it. Are you trolling? I think. Robbie Fox just texted us,

is this a bit? No, Kevin Hayes goes, there's literally 12. hundred better drinks than that. There's a lot better drinks. So I love it. I mean, I know it's not, it was, you know, funny just to see if anybody else did it because I asked for tomato juice.

I think it's lovely. I also, when I drink it, somebody's told me that, like, it's just a healthy drink. So when I drink it, I feel like I'm adding years onto my life. Okay. So I didn't know if anybody else was under that mindset. Clearly not many people are. I would say maybe if I were a guy Riggs over here, I had a little tomato juice, maybe he's not going through what you're doing.

But that's completely unrelated. But my point is, like, you were so specific to in-flight drink. And so many people, so many people have so many other, like, specific in-flight drinks that they enjoy. Number one, being ginger ale. When you're on a flight, ginger ale just tastes better. I get an ice-cold Coca-Cola every time. I get an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Maybe, you know, like.

It tastes different at that out. So you don't get in tomato juice. I get-toss, tomato juice. No, not so much Mots, just tomato juice. The Mots brand, tomato juice, made it so, such a poor choice in-flight drink that I couldn't even wrap my head around it. Dude, I love it. Like, when they gave you the tomato juice, and they said it's going to be Moths, you should

have been like, whatever, give me the ginger ale. You should have done it your classic Mots, Mots tomato juice. It's also, you didn't phrase it as, is this anyone else's favorite in? You said, is this the greatest? Which would be like, it'd be like saying, like, is Zach Johnson the greatest player of all time? And then Trent being like, no, but I love him. And people will be like, no, we get it.

But like, he's clearly not the best player of all time. Right, yeah. That's like a crazy way to phrase it. And I also think now you are, because it's the percentage is so high on the other end, you're saying like, oh, it was just like a joke, but I, you know, I want to see if other people were doing it. No, it just, it is my favorite. Did you expect that poll to be like 50-50? No, I knew it was going to be low. It was more of a poll to see if anybody else is getting.

Then it's a bit. That by nature is a bit because you know the answer is no. I was interested because not many other people enjoy the tomato juice and I do. Even seven to 13 percent. That's an unlucky number. 13 is probably people who just clicked the wrong one. Right. They get DMs being like, dude, can I re-vote?

I accidentally hit Node when I went to go check it. So you just got an extra vote on your side. You voted the right side. You voted against me then. No is. Is it the greatest in-flight drink? Well, no. Is there a better flight drink?

Oh, God. And everyone said yes. Oh, I see. The phrasing is that one. Okay. And I said no by accident. Moths 100% tomato juice. So it's probably 88 to 12.

What other takes, Frank? Oh, no, it's just Yeah, just that was just like starting aggressive. Well, no, yeah. Whatever you say just goes in one ear, out the other. For you, yeah. So I don't try and remember it. But, yeah, no, I enjoy tomato juice.

And I really think it's not going to get on like, we don't want a flight, it's like whatever. And soda's not great for you. So I'm like tomato juice, let's do it. Let's get healthy here. Probably a lot of sodium in that. Probably. Yeah.

I just go water. Do you? Yeah. Most of the time I do water. but when I'm feeling like I want something other than water, ice cold Coca-Cola. Gingerail on a flight just hits different. Good as well. I do a bottle of water at the general, you know, whatever, convenience shop that they got there.

Hudson News or whatever. I do a bottle of water and then I just keep that with me so that if I pass out, nobody bothers me. I've got water when I wake up. I don't like to be, you know, because I sleep the whole time. Good plan. So, yeah, that's my plan. That's what I go to. And then I also will say I finally, people aren't going to believe I didn't have this yet,

but I finally got TSA pre-check. I mean, it's life-changing. Wow. It's like you're flying. No. I have clear. Clear is worthless. Is it?

In comparison. I've never used it. I've never used it. I've got both. Well, clear to me, the flights that I, the airports I typically go to, it's life-changing for me. Right. Because all the airports I go to, it just has it.

But then you still have to do the security bit. So you still have to, like, unpack your bags, take out your laptop, take off your shoes. Yeah. TSA pre-check, you go right to the front of the line, and you don't take anything out of your bag. You don't take your shoes off, nothing. and you just walk on through. So it is, like,

it's turning every massive airport into, like, a regional airport. I will say now, I walk through now with this. I walk through with the guiltiest look on my face. How do they secure that stuff? I don't know, but, like, I didn't know that that was part of the deal,

but you don't have to take out your shoes, you don't have to take out your laptop. You just basically walk through, and now I look so suspicious. I, like, look at everyone, like, this is. I feel like I'm sorry. I'm sure.

I'm sure. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. You don't have to do anything if you have TSA pre-check? Dude, you go through this special line, the green check mark and then there's no one ever in the line and they have like their own TSA agents you walk up they do the ID thing pull your mask

down and then you walk up to the like belt the little security belt and the um secure like the metal detector and you legit you don't have to take off anything you put your bag on the table no matter what it has in it basically you slide it through you walk right through the thing and they're like have a great day so how do they know you're not a crazy person because they went through the pre thing they do like it

like it can't be as thorough as I want it to be I agree because you get five years of being on TSA precheck where Again, your bag still go through like that scanning thing. You just don't take anything out. So it's like the same kind of procedure. Pretty much. And actually in some new machines. You can turn to a crazy person in five years.

But in some new machines you don't take your stuff off. You never know where your brain's going to go. No, totally. I'm with you on that. And so clear now. This is also my pre-checked. I'd also have clear partner with TSA. So if you have clear and TSA, then there's that like special line for you.

But sometimes anyways. I'd also like to say that what it's really telling me is that all of this stuff where I'm taking off my belt and my shoes and my shirt. and my underwear, it's unnecessary. I agree with that. They're making the process more difficult. If they can do it the other way, then why don't we all just do it the other way? Because they've done, in theory they've done like a thorough background check,

and they've considered you like a very unlikely to be a problem person. I would love to know what that entails. Totally. It seems very, it seems arbitrary. Yeah, you're a problem. Nope. No, you'll be fine for five years. their deny rate is.

I don't know. True. I was approved in like a couple days. Same. It was like, honestly, three days. Do you go in there, you like answer one question.

Right. And you pay $85 for five years. And it's just, it's life changing. It feels like I'm flying private. I show up like two seconds before my flight. Walk right through. I just lay my bag down.

I walk right there. I don't take anything off. And then you like, you always give a look back at the real security lines to like sweeten the deal. Right. To know how much better you have it than they have it. And then you just saunter your way through. It's great.

It's easy. pass for airports. It's like the fact that people still don't have easy pass blows my mind. You just blow right through the toll and they just charge you whatever. TSA is the same way. Same premise. Well, if you blow right through, dude wipes, ladies and gentlemen. This. Oh, boy. We're going to let you handle this one.

I'm extremely qualified to talk about dude wipes. I got a bunch of my bag right now, so that's going to help me get through this week. No doubt about it. No doubt about it. I psyched out Coup. No doubt about it. Great line. You guys big basketball fans? I mean, I've definitely seen it a bunch. It's been a while. What was the line again?

Best part of that game is when I psyched out coop, no doubt about it. I don't know if I could quote baseball all the way. I like the way. I don't remember it from the movies. It's one of my boys back home. They live for basketball. Yeah. So they bring it up every time we get together.

I like that movie for sure. I just don't remember the lines. You just go, best part. Like, oh, what do you think the best part of the game was? Best part of that game is when I psyched out coop. No doubt about it. I like how much you like it. Yeah, me too.

Anyways, we need to have a serious chat about your bathroom habits. Oh, boy. It's time to quit. scratchy gross toilet paper, which who knows that could have been the cause of an issue that I'm going through. Dude wipes are extra large flushable wipes made with plant-sourced fibers designed to give your butt a cleaner

and more refreshing finish than toilet paper. This couldn't have been on a better show. Yeah. No, this is good. Just think about it. When you wash your face, hands or body, you use water to get yourself clean. So when it comes to the dirtiest thing that we do, why do we use dry toilet paper? Not any longer.

Use dude wipes. They will change your life. your butt will thank you and you'll never look at an empty door that paper roll the same way again. Just think about it when your butt betrays you and you're leaking blood out of your asshole. Dudewipes is there for you. 100%. I'm glad you said that. Nobody was thinking it. Dudewipes.com.

It's like the second flight that I took after getting it. It was at LaGuardia and they just, I got my known traveler number,

which is a life-changing number. And I go through and I show up to the security thing. And I'm like, yeah, I'm a TSA pre-check. I'm like, yeah, we just don't have it here. And I was like, well, no, I kind of, what do you mean? Like, I'm just TSA pre-check. He said, yeah, we don't have it today. got to get in line with everybody else.

And I was like, well, no, I was like, so I go, can I get my money back? And the guy's like, can you just get in line with everybody else? I just, dude. But other than that, it's been unstoppable. The thing I'll say about airport travel in general is that it's way easier than I thought it was going to be when I was a young child. Like, people always made it seem like it's like, you got to get there eight hours early or you're going to miss your flight. But if you just like are a regular normal person and you leave like two hours before, you're, you need to get there or before your plane takes off,

you're going to be fine. Yeah. Like, knock on wood, I've never missed a flight. And we've been flying a lot. Last five years, I've flown a lot.

And if you just handle it like an adult, you're not going to miss your flight. I only missed two. One of them was with you guys when everybody else got on that flight except me. We went to Pebble Beach two years ago. One of the funniest moments of my life, yeah. They called you up. Then you were like excited because we were there.

I think Dave was there with us because you were going out for the Mologan Challenge. Yeah. He were on. Dave was on. Me and Riggs were sitting there and we're just waiting. Like, all right, if one more person they allow on this flight, it's going to be me or you. They called you up there and they looked at the name sheet and they were like, are you Trent Ryan? And I watched you walk back towards me.

They called my name. I got on. And I got there at like 2 a.m. Got two hours of sleep and then we walked Pebble twice. It was the worst flight. Worst day. I took a two hour Uber then from San Francisco down. Got in at like 4 a.m.

We were up at like six ready to rock. And man. And I remember like they called me first and I like snickered at Trent. And they're like, oh, tough break. Right. And they're like, you know, Trent Ryan? And I was like, are you fucking serious right now? And then I just, that was like the only flight.

We missed the flight prior, so that's why we ended up all on standby. Yep. But that's the only flight I've really missed. But I think you're right, Trent. Once you get used to it, flying is just not that big. I had a crazy experience yesterday at an airport real quick. I've had a broken ID, like driver's license forever. It's just had a little crack through the middle.

This guy at Red Lion in New York City. This, like, this fucking bouncer just bent my card and it just snapped one day. I was like, why did you do that? I'm 26 years old. Do they still do, like, 80s night there? Yeah, it's an amazing bar. Live band. Oh, yeah.

One of the best, one of the best live band spots of all time. Right. But, yeah. Performing there? No, we were supposed to. Oh, okay. We had a book to play a red line right before the pandemic. And then, like, the week of, they're like, yeah, we can't just do that.

Like, there's a pandemic going on. So, there's a pandemic going on. So, um, I've had this crack and I've just been, like, not getting it fixed. especially during the pandemic, like you're not going to the DMV. That's just something you're not doing. And I also didn't know you can just order one online. So I've been very lazy. It's like $14 to order one online.

I've now found that out. Anyway, on a bachelor party and I'm drunk and I ripped the ID forgetting that it's cracked. It's like it's in this wallet that's really tight because I have all these cards in it. And it just snaps in half. And I'm like, holy smokes. Anyway, getting back from Savannah, they didn't care. They were just like, yeah, you taped it up. Like, it's fine.

It actually went through the reader. Yesterday, I go to the airport at JFK, at LaGuardia. and the guy is like all business. And he goes, I will, I refuse to accept this card. And I said, well, I can't accept that answer because there's a flight on the other side of you. I am who I am. I am who I am. I can prove it in many ways aside from this little piece of paper or this little cart.

And I didn't say all this stuff because I'm a bitch. Right. Did you say the American citizen line? I didn't say any of this. Because you said that in the car too. I'm like, what a line that is. I'm just thinking like there's, I'm giving him looks like, you know I am who I am. Frankie's great at the out.

Like, if you said the things that you say in the. story afterwards. It would be awesome. I would do anything to have that TSA agent on the show. I get his vantage point. I just like, I told him no and he just turned around and left. He was like, I was like, I was like, well, I actually said like, I just don't know what I'm supposed to do because that is my ID. And he goes, well, I can't help you. I said, I have this little like, this little pass that when I ordered my new ideas, which is coming in like four weeks. I don't know what the ID people are doing, but you got to be faster than that. You got to be better. I was like, it literally says do not use that airports. He like kind of pointed out. Yeah, you see that right there.

You just can't use that for identification reasons. So I'm like, well, I'm fucked because I'm just going to miss a flight. And I go rummaging through my bag for some reason in my backpack. And what do I find? My fucking passport from when we went to Australia was in my backpack. Somehow, some way, it was in my backpack. So I'll go out to guy. I'm like, I have identification.

It was two years ago. You haven't unpacked in two years. That's miraculous. It's in this slot that, like, I would never look in my backpack. It's like the front one. in this pocket and I was going through being like do I have anything in here like I don't know but you probably you bring that backpack everywhere yeah bring it everywhere yeah see I do the same thing with mine especially because when we go on these long road trips or work trips or whatever

like you never know when something might happen you might have to go out of the country like I'm not yeah I don't I don't mean flee but like what if uh hey you guys can interview like tiger woods in Cabo right whatever it's like I need to have my passport so I should keep my passport on me I should keep it on me you should but you don't want to lose it so like Frankie just had in his backpack for forever for a couple of years now yes and so like god forbid he lost a backpack or anything the passport's gone then you got a mess on your hands but i want to tell you right now they're probably closer to it i don't know what they can steer your identity i think by just like looking at you on my i think so my passport is definitely not in my backpack right now and i don't

know where it is somewhere probably in my apartment hopefully they made it with you to move i hope it made the move unless you did just uh anything's in my dad desk. I just throw it over the box. Yeah, do you have like a documents region of your apartment where it's just documents are? Huge yellow folder that I just throw important things in. And it is legitimately that wide now. It has like old leases that I've signed for apartments and like, I'm hoping that it's tucked into one of those sleeves. Yep, I'm the same way. Yeah, an important docks area. It has, it has, it has, everything's in there. My, there's checks in there that I could use that I haven't used in three years, four years. Yeah, so hopefully it's in there. But that's a

strike of luck for Frank and Prairie. Yeah, I wouldn't have been here. I remember, like, right when I graduated, my parents gave me, like, one of their old cars. It was like a Mazza in there. They give you, like, the title to the car. And that's one of those things, you just throw in the document. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And use hope. But then, like, when they didn't eat it, I was like, oh, I have no idea. Yeah. That moved five apartments that shit away. Like, like, hopefully my social security card is in there. Oh, boy. I almost would cross-eyed. A butterfly flew in my face. I almost would cross-side.

I did the opposite of what rings did, and I just, my head just bouncing. Trent's just following the butterfly. What was that, um, NC State? They just, like, got a new dog mascot. Did you see the video that they're, like, introducing the new dog? And then he's run, the dog's running out to the field. And then a butterfly goes by him. And he kind of just, like, forgets that he has to do this video.

That's kind of Trent. Trent, like, can't pay attention because there's butterflies around. I've never felt more childlike than that moment. Oh, who. I was just like, oh, oh, oh, oh. I went like that a bunch, which people are on an audio podcast, but hopefully we'll see the video on that. But, yeah, hopefully I have my passport and all my important documents somewhere in that yellow folder. I hope you have them in there, too.

I got to eat something, guys. You know? We'll get to it. That feels childish, but I just have to eat something. We'll get to it. I do not. No. It's one of the last things I want to do, right?

I want to sit down and eat a sandwich. That sounds so good. What would you get? What do you think you're going to get? I would get some sort of grill. chicken sandwich. I would get some sort of grilled chicken avocado sandwich. That sounds so good. I'm like a panini type deal. You give me grilled chicken

mozzarella and a little bit of an avocado with some balsamic vinegar red on there. Hello, darling. You guys are going to be a mean to rigged. You guys are going to be to blame for a nightmare. Just shoving food down his throat and there's blood coming everywhere. That's what you guys are doing right.

There goes Jake again. I just, I really want Jake to throw up during this. Pennies. That met almost got him. Yeah, that did. He really reacted. I thought he's such a sick fuck. He'd be like getting off of this. No, I think he's exposed himself as a bit of a...

I don't know what you would call that. Pussy? It's like the red wedding. Huh? Yeah. Ooh. Yeah, tough. Let's move on.

I've got a... I've got a bed here because we are in Michigan. Yeah, we are. And it is the Open Championship Week. When you're listening to this, you're probably listening to this as it started. Because I think it starts at like 3 a.m. It starts early, yeah. United States time.

Mm-hmm. Unless, I mean, we do have international... Generally, United States time. We do have... We do have international listeners. We do a surprising amount, especially in the UK, they've been begging for us to come over there. Next year, I want to do an Ireland or Scotland trip. I have to do it.

Yeah. It would be fantastic. Be unbelievable. Do our travel series over there. Go for like a week and a half. In. I'm in. I'm in.

100%. I'm all in on that. We've got four to six weeks. So if it's not fixed in a year, I think you're dead. Yeah. I think that's probably fair. What were you going to say? Barstle Sportsbook app is live in Michigan

Number one, they have the casino live on there Which is a lot of fun We were sitting at dinner the other night In Traverse City, by the way, great city The city of Cherries Cherry City of Cherry City A cherry heavy city Cherry Capital of the world

I think so Cherry's everywhere I didn't eat one No, I didn't either But you guys wouldn't believe How many cherry themed things There are around just that little town What was the name of the one place?

The cherry Avery What's the name of that cherry place? Cherry Millian? No, that's not it. Cherry Republic. Great name.

And you walk in there, they got, what was it called? Cherryaki. It's cherry flavored terriaki sauce. They've got cherry. Barbecue sauce. Barbecue sauce. Everything, cherry, everything. You could possibly imagine.

Chocolate covered cherries. Cherry so. All that we didn't see was just cherries. Right. I don't think you could walk in there and be like, I just want to eat a regular cherry, and I think they'd throw you out. Unless they were in some other area. Anyway, Traverse City, really cool place. place, really good town.

But we were sitting there, and we were able to, like, hit the slots on the phone and, like, be able to, like, play a little blackjack. It was fun as we were waiting for the food. We were having a couple hands dealt. Blackjack's fun anywhere. So you can just bring it up and play, you know, whatever, a couple bucks. Dude, we were sitting there playing a couple bucks waiting for the food and, like, I got a king, and we didn't try and are like, let's go.

And then, like, let's go. And then, like, the fries come. You're like, all right, we're putting that away and let's go. It's fun, man. Free set of fries. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my buddy Rob, the guy who his teeth fall out and his thing. He's the ultimate guy where if you're playing with him on the golf course or something,

he's taking a little money from you. He lets you know exactly what that gets him. And it drives you fucking crazy because you're like, I want that. That's a free sandwich. Oh, he's like, yeah, it'll be like a putting contest. He goes, that's a hot dog and a beer. I'm like, well, I want a hot dog and a beer. Now buying your hot dog and beer?

Oh, my God, it drives you fucking crazy. Anyway, the Open Championship, 2021. We've got it in the Barstleslese Sportsbook app. If you're in Michigan, if you're in Pennsylvania, if you are in, on guys. Indiana. You can place wages. Illinois, Chicago, where are you at? We can place wagers on the Barstool Sportsbook app. I just put in my second bet of the championship. The first one being the $100 buy-in and the Barstall exclusive, which I guess if you're listening to this, it's now closed. What was a ROM, JT, and Speath to all just make the cut and then you get a

four-play t-a polo shirt. That's a great bet. But now my one bet that I put in, aside from that Patrick Cantley top 10 plus 250 I am very excited about that bet I like Patrick Cantley I saw him on the driving range I saw JT mixing it up messing around with Patrick Cantley on the driving range they both looked like they were having a great time his swing looked very smooth it looked very pure I don't know what kind of style golfer Patrick Cantlay is if he's going to do well in the open championship I probably should have done a little bit of research if he does well on link style golf that's the guy I'm riding this week I'm also going to be placing a JT top 5.

Wow. Not a JT top 5. I'm done with winners, man. It's just way too hard to get it. And I'd rather root for if the guys out of it to like on 17 and 18 to just like come on. Like hold on. It is more fun to do top 10s, top 25s, things like that. You can get the same odds.

I mean, not the same. You can't get the crazy long shots. But like getting Patrick Kaintley plus 250 to be top 10, he's like he's a fucking sick golfer. Right. No, no, I like those. But I always go top 20, top 40. Like it's just.

hard to win and then you're in the mix, you're rooting for the guys. Like Stricker and the John Deere, he finished T-40. It's brutal. I had him as a T-40 finish. But you're in it to the end. If he wasn't, if I had him to win, it's just like I lose the bet on the first Thursday because he's so off the mix. What's a Rory top ten?

I don't know what those odds are, but I'm big Rory this week. You would mention the-Roy's top ten is plus 188. I'm very low, Rory this week. You are. I just missed the cut. Like, he's a disaster. You know, you could probably go back and listen to a lot. a podcast of ours, but right before majors.

And we probably mentioned Rory a lot. Just because it always feels like it's going to happen. It's fucking Rory, dude. And it never happens. But again, I don't want to do winners. So I'm going to do like a top 10 or a top 20 with him. It also feels like he's been due for seven years. I know, but that's, I can't get it out of my head.

It has to happen. You know what else seems to be just a lock every single week? And we talked about in the podcast a couple weeks ago. Like John Rom, just top five. Just bet him. It's like plus 200. I think it was like plus 188 the last time I look. How do you not put money on that guy?

You have to. Do you see his quote about a club foot? Dude, that was fascinating. It is fascinating. And then he went into his wrist. What happened to? It's like, that was must listen to it. Dude, I listened to it live. I was just like, when now, what's he saying there?

And he, somebody, credit to the reporter, somebody asked a very good question. That was just like, hey, with like the length of your swing and how short and unique it is. Like, have you ever considered kind of changing it or with distance or what's the deal with that? And he's like, yeah, I'm not sure how many people know this, but I was born with a clubbed foot or, you know, his foot was like, I guess it was his right. foot was like turned inward no he said it was upside down if you listen he says it was he was born and his foot was upside down they broke every bone his body what did that mean upside down what he was it was it was wait so it's so instead of like this i mean this is i mean instead of the way it looks right now on your foot when you look down and that part of your body's working right past your bum

it basically turn your foot and put your heel facing you put the bottom of your foot and facing the baby's face that's what he said and so they broke that doesn't make sense sense, though. I think a lot of messed up things had happened when things are being put together. Right. I mean, you're just a baby coming out of the womb. Like, it's incredible that most of it. It's a miracle. It all comes out the same way. So, anyways, he's born with the foot. And like you said, they had to, like, right in real time, just basically try to set it as best they could, broke every bone in his body. And every two, like, weeks till he was like a year old, he had to get it recasted. So he's like, I just literally can't, like, go beyond the finger. I lose stability in, like, my right foot. So that's

why I have a short swing and then my wrists like don't really bow like out. They bow kind of in to me as a bowed wrist and he's like yeah so me and my coach have worked forever on just like optimizing what works for my body. Everybody's body's different and this is how my body is and it was fucking fast. Let me read this quote. He's like I get all my

power out of my bowed wrist. Yeah go Trent. Yeah he said I was born with a club foot on my right leg which means for anybody that's sensitive about that my right leg up to the ankle was straight. My foot was 90 degrees turned inside and basically upside down. So when I was born that they pretty much broke every bone in the ankle, and I was casted within 20 minutes of being

born from the knee down. Yeah. That's amazing. Right. And it just makes sense. Like, his swing looks short and different and weird, but, like, that he's optimized what his body allows him to do to be the best player in the world, basically. Right.

And it was so cool because he was just like, yeah, you swing your swing. And, like, it's like, this is the one that makes sense for my body what it can do. Right. And this is optimal for it. And so, like, I encourage all of it. you to not have that dreamy long swing because that's what you see on TV. Figure out like what your body can do, what it can't do. So I'm doing right now with this fucking short swing, my shoulders just can't go back.

It literally I'm in pain when I do this. So it's like when I watch videos of myself, I'm like, why am I stopping so short? It's because my body's saying that is where it feels comfortable to stop the swing. And yeah, it sucks because like I'm getting fast. I'm getting hooky. I'm getting slicy. It's all, it's very inconsistent. But that's just the way it is right now.

I refuse to go to physical therapy because I'm lazy. Also, I mean, you have a little less. So like stability wise, it probably makes sense to have a shorter swing. You know what I'm saying? I do have little legs. I, uh, you do. That's true. I think you should show him more.

We were talking about this yesterday. Lurge, like, didn't, he didn't have shorts. He's waiting for some of his Pumar shorts to come in last night, which they did, which he's wearing now. He looks great. But he's just wearing pants yesterday. He was like, this is fucking miserable. How does somebody wear pants?

It's hot outside. I've just adapted to it, man. It's just my body. I don't know. I don't want to speak out of school, but you showed me a picture of you in shorts on that that bachelor party that you were on. and you look like a different person. I do.

It makes my upper body just look big. Really? What happened? The legs actually don't look terrible. I think I need to work on. I mean, there it is. I mean,

it's just bad. What happens, I think with him is that his, but I think the wind goes up through the shorts and then it goes up into the shirt and he looks a little thicker. Dude, you look great. That might be the best you've ever looked on a golf course.

You look great. You look like perfectly normal. You look so much more comfortable, your legs actually look bigger. Is that because of, I know you're doing Peloton. No, no. I have done the Peloton a long time.

Actually, my pal, my pal Brock Nelson likes to give me a lot of shit about that. He says, is that thing just collecting dust now? He'll just send me my calendar and it'll just have zero rides in the last month. I always have an excuse. Like, the island's run a playoff run. I'm not just going to do the Peloton. Like, I have to watch hockey games. Was he riding it during the playoff run?

I mean, I'm sure he was working out. He was literally on that playoff run and he was still doing it. Yeah, like, you know, like my girlfriend had surgery. I couldn't do it during then. You can't, like, be mean and work out in front of someone. And then the island is when on a playoff run. Now I'm traveling like crazy. It's been like two months, whatever.

You can't bring that thing on a plane. I can't be bringing that thing on a plane. What are you? When I'm home, I'm like, I got to do stuff. I can't work out. There's a couple that I love here. Okay. First, I love New Amsterdam vodka.

Yeah. Official vodka, martial sports. Yep. Just delicious. It's distilled a bunch. And then they put it through a lot of good stuff. And we, you know, we talked earlier about the transfusion, which is a great drink when you're putting a little bit of vodka in there.

The fact that you wouldn't be using New Amsterdam vodka is crazy at this point. It's the official vodka of Varsal Sports. We got our own bottle. We don't, and we don't throw that logo on just anything. We stand by everything we throw it on. So it's like New Amsterdam Vodka's on there. Barstall Transfusion, it's on there. It's just, it's a great, great product, great vodka.

Let me tell you about this vodka. It's made from some of the finest quality grains in America's heartland. New Amsterdam vodka is five times distilled for unparalleled smoothness, then filtered three times for a clean, crisp. finish and then you can get it at your local liquor store with the new summer co-branded new Amsterdam vodka bottle excellent I'm gonna miss seeing my mug and my dad's face on the New Amsterdam commercial I don't know if that's gonna run to the next year that was a lot of fun it feels like an evergreen commercial it may be but usually

they switch it up okay from year to year yeah but New Amsterdam what a company they're great new Amsterdam vodka go get some use it drink it enjoy your life Matthew Fitzpatrick Top five. He's plus 500. It's a really good bet. He played well at the Scottish. He did. Finished lost in a playoff with the Scottish. Yep.

So he likes Ling's golf. He's a Brit. He's English. He's English. He's like those guys over there. Yeah, like even Shane Lowry, obviously, ex-winner, but like I don't hate him to be a top 20 player or something like that. It's also like Fitz hasn't won in America yet.

He hasn't won on the PGA tour, but he's won like, whatever, six times in the European tour. So it feels very fitting that his first like big breakthrough win would be at the British Open. England, which is a home country. I wonder how much of an advantage those guys have over like, a guy like J.T. Like, who just doesn't play. It's interesting talking to him.

Fitzpatrick definitely because, like I said, he plays a good amount on the European tour. He, like, won the Dubai in Dubai last year, which that's not like Link's Golf, but that's European Tour, the culmination. And where Rory was like, I haven't played Link's golf in two years since the last British Open. Right. So everybody's a little bit different, but that was fascinating. Guys from Northern Ireland, like Link's Golf City, played at Port Rush growing up.

Him and McDowell used to mess around on the green when he was like 13. and he just never, ever plays links golf. So it's very, it's interesting. And then like you're saying, a guy like JT, he's just an American kid. Right. You just don't play that ever. It's also funny, like you think regionally that people just know about everything when they're from a place, right? Like, Lee Westwood is English.

He's from England. This course is in England. And they're asking him like, he's like, yeah, I'll be honest until I got it this week. I didn't really remember anything from the course. Played it in two different British opens, but I missed the cut both times. So I only have like four rounds in tournament. I just didn't really even remember money of the holes or the corset. I'm just like, I just feel like that's like one of the British Open sites in England.

There's only a couple. And he just like doesn't even know it. Sometimes people ask me about corn and I feel like I don't have enough information. Straight up. They think I know everything about corn because I'm from Iowa. I get it with the arch. Yeah. Like, what's up with that arch?

Like, I don't know. It's the same of me with Italian food or like anything Italian. Like, yeah, because I have an Italian restaurant. My family does. Like during the dozen, like Big Cat called me and my dad to ask us about an Italian dish. Yeah. And it was like such an obscure thing. And we were just like, we don't know.

It's like, yeah, I just don't know everything about Italian food. I grew up around corn, but I didn't study it. I just saw a ton of it in the field. Right. It was surrounding you. You didn't know anything about it. Is there anything stopping the United States or any area in the United States from replicating exactly St. Andrews, the old course? Is there anything about like the grass over there that?

It's just you can't replicate it. it's like sand-based that's the issue so hard to find sand-based terrain that's also like on the water because that gets hard and compact and water drains right through it and even like when it rains a shit ton of there it's like firm and you could bounce the ball we were talking about this

I remember I think it's talking about Lurch or somebody yesterday where when I was in St. Louis and then when I was at the bar with Aiman Lynch and I was talking about golf course architecture and shit I'm not we don't know anything about that we were kind of talking about links courses and I was just saying it's hard to build a really good golf course in St. Louis and us because it's wet all the time. Yeah.

And soaked and the water doesn't go anywhere. We have some of the Iowa the same way. We have like some of the best soil in the world that like holds water so you can grow plants. And if you try to like punch and run a ball through it just goes splat and stops. Right. And it's just not that interesting because you have to fly everything aerially over there. And this is like what they found at Bandon Dunes. Apparently what they found like up here.

But it's not that many place in the country. A cab it. But like it's just all sand underneath for like many, many feet. It's just sand. And when you have that, you can keep it firm and fast all the time. And it gets, like, compact. And here in most places, we just fucking don't have that. Well, I mean, I think, you know, it's fair.

Like, I think we're dumb Americans in the sense of saying, like, you know, Lee would know that course in England. Like, we played with Kisner, Pinehurst, and he got there. And he was like, I don't even remember this course. Yeah. You know, so it's like the same way. It's just we associate England with being like this small state where, like, people know everything about it. Yeah. And it's just not the case.

It's like the country. country in the world. Exactly. It's like, dude, I don't know anything about that area. Like, I don't know anything about Chinatcock. Like, I just, you know. Right. Yeah, it's different.

Yeah. It's very true. And so, yeah, I mean, I guess, frankly, it's just hard to replicate with that terrain. You have to do it differently. Like, parkland courses. You can't defend them with, like, cool bouncing fairways and pop bunkers because, like, the ball just stops, right? So you have to put giant trees in and shit.

You know, when we were down in Melbourne, like, that was crazy, how firm and fastball. That's all shams. It was. It was. It was. Like that was insane. Yeah. I was bouncing up in the air.

Right. Just kept rolling. Remember us hitting bunker shots like in the middle of the green that just would take a five-foot bounce the air and trundle in the other bunker? So yeah. You're like, what are we doing here? Got to hit it on the exact front of the green and also it's just not going to stay. So we had some interesting comments. Lee Westwood said that and then I will give him credit too because this course, which I didn't even know going in because it's been since 2011 and I was a golf not then.

But I wasn't paying attention as much as we are now. And this course is very controversial. A lot of people just don't like it, which you very rarely hear. Like when they get to wing foot or whatever, everyone just raves about it. It's like this place. When they get to the old course, people are like, this is the best golf course in the world. You feel like you hear that most often. When they get here, everyone, like Brooks Kevka today, I was listening to his president.

He's like, I don't like the course at all. And they're just like, all right, you know, like, what's it? He's like, yeah, I just don't like it. And Lee Westwood said, he goes, yeah, this time, he goes, I played today with a couple guys that I really like. And he's like, this was the first time I've actually, I really enjoyed it. myself out there. He's like before, I be honest, I just wasn't that high on the course. I don't think it's like that great. Did Brooke say anything specifically in that presser? He just said he thinks it's gimmicky and...

Okay. Guys, you've been working on this course for 10 years. Just like all excited to get the guys out to test what they've been working on. But again, you can't hate the honesty. No, you cannot. But he's just like, man, I just did not like that golf. And it's crazy because it's not that rare. Like, I've heard other people that are just like, eh, don't really like the course. And I think Westwood is going through a couple of the whole thing. He said the very first fairway is a good example of like, He's like, I hit a good drive right down the middle, and it just bounded through the fairways or like crowned fairways almost. Everyone. And it just bounded from the fairway into like brutal rough.

And I was like, well, that kind of sucks. Yeah. And so they just think, I guess, it's kind of like gimmicky. And then it's very rare in Lynx golf, too, I guess, because most of the greens out there are very flat, like Lurch, you've been over to sky. Yep. This just got crazy undulations. Like, some of the greens look like wingfoot greens. I saw one picture where it looked like a mountain.

The green was on top of a mountain from the base of it. It was really, really high. So, yeah, there are times where it almost looks like Mickey Mouse Golf. Like, I would say that if I was walking that course and seeing those things. Like, what are we doing here? Yeah. It's like a carnival ride. I think that's kind of a feel is that some of the guys are like it's a little Mickey Mousey.

And if you go through the history of the winners there too, it's kind of like notorious for having not big name winners. Like Greg Norman won. Outside of that, like Darren Clark at age 42, like broke through and won. And then a lot of the other names going to. back to like 81 are just names that like you wouldn't yeah you're just kind of like who won that now and so it's kind of known for that and that kind of leads I think to the to the gimmicky stuff but it's um it's also interesting Brooks keppka which this is something right in line with what we've talked about with him a lot where he was like you haven't picked up a club since the traveler's championship two

weeks and they just for like you haven't you're not practicing for the british open he's like now i haven't picked up a club and i don't like the course now he said british open too did you see there was a presser with somebody from the RNA and they're like, what are you calling this? This was DJ. No, no, no, no. This is some guy from the actual RNA. And they're like, do we call it the British Open?

We call it the Open. And the guy was like, are you looking behind me? Because on like the backdrop of the presser just says the Open everywhere with any, no attachment of the British Open. Anyways, found that funny. But like, Brooks is, I mean, just get off. Just on that topic for, he said,

because I thought you're talking about the Dustin Johnson thing. They asked him, what do you call this tournament? What did you call this tournament growing up? Dustin Johnson said, British Open growing up, but now I call it the Open Championship. And they said, how come that change? And he said, because that's the name of it. And that's so DJ.

I'm not going to touch the topic. Yeah. This is what people are calling it. This is what I'm calling it. I don't care. Right. Calling it the Open Championship. Yeah.

It's beautiful. Because now he just doesn't get any questions. There's no like. I got to be honest, because I think I went through a similar progression with the name of that tournament. I think I called the British Open growing up for sure. And then you get older and you're like, oh, it's just the Open. I still go back.

I don't jump on anybody who calls it one way or the other. Who cares? But I do think I call it the Open championship now more than the British Open. I a little bit like to chirp people that get mad about not calling it the Open. Yeah. Because you know where it comes from. Like people called it. I saw somebody tweeted, was it Phil?

Phil tweeted that like the Earl or Duke of Scotland called it the British Open in like the 30s. And now I think they've just done a rebrand of like, no, screw you, US. You can't just come in and call one the US Open. The other one has to be a British Open. We're the original, worthy open. You guys are like the one that has to clarify which one you are. Right.

That's where it comes from. Right. Which I, and again, I get it. Fine. You guys have been older. We did the whole history thing last show.

It's fun. But like, who cares? Guess what? You play it in Britain all the time. It's also like when a stadium changes their name, you just call it like the stadium that you grew up with. I'm trying to think of an example.

There's a million of them. Um, I would say, there's like, there's hockey rinks that just like they have their name. And then all of a sudden you're like, oh, it's this next.

Well, there was like an arena in Cedar Rapids, and this isn't a famous one, obviously, but it was the five-season center when I grew up, and then it was the U.S. Cellular Center. Now it's like the Wells Fargo Arena, but everybody calls the Five Seasons Center. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, like Joe Lewis is now. Is Joe Lewis still Joe Lewis? Joe Lewis is like, oh, it has to be Joe Lewis. I didn't even know it's changed. That'll be Joe Lewis. It's actually called Little Caesars Arena. It's like, well, no, it's called the Joe. Right. That's just the Joe. Where's that one? Detroit. Okay. And the original Joe, do they still play the original, or is it? A new one.

It's a brand new one. Is it? Because the original there was, they had no skyboxes. It was like just seats. And it was awesome. They had like, you know, like the kind of the lightish gray stairs everywhere with just the red railings. Awesome. And it was awesome.

It was just the original. The Nassau costume. Roman. Most guys have tried different ways to last longer in bed, ladies and gentlemen. Thinking about, I don't know, baseball. They put baseball in here something boring that you would think about. But I've said during these out of reason, and I stand. by it that you shouldn't be thinking about

other things during sex. I know that's the old trope about you should last here's how you last longer you think about glaciers or Antarctica or your grandmother. Riggs's asshole. Riggs his asshole. It's is... I might help actually. That will do it. I'm like fully ruin the moment though. You know what I mean?

You're trying to hold off. But that's what I mean. You're in something that's so great and awesome. You don't want to be thinking about something else. That's where Roman comes in. You can stay in. I really would ruin the moment. Oh, boy. I just You're doing the sex and you're just like Riggs his asshole. Whoa.

She's like, baby, what are you thinking about? You're like, Riggs his asshole. I think both parties just never talk to each other ever again. But with Roman, you can stay in the moment, think about the cool thing you're doing, and you can still last longer. GetRoman.com slash four.

Brooks also had some comments about the Ryder Cup coming up and whether or not he'd want to play with Bryson. Did you guys see those? Yeah. He's really something. Brooks?

Yeah. I actually have it right here. Let me read it. And they asked him about, like, what would happen if you got, like, if you guys play in the rider cup together, what would that be like? He said, look, this is Brooks talking. So, look, I can put anything aside for business. If we're going to be on the same team, I can deal with anybody in the world for a week.

I'm pretty sure we're not going to be paired together. Put it that way. I think it's kind of obvious. Yeah, we're on the same team, but it's not an issue at all. That sounds like an issue. When he says, I can put anything aside for business, it's all about the team. It's going to be fine, but I'm not going to play with that fucking guy.

Because there's like a team room where people were playing ping pong. They're on like a flight together. They're in like, they go to like the gala together. They go to like all kinds of, they're a team. And like at this point, if you trace this thing all the way back, which we've talked about it a million times, like is that type of animosity really worthy of what the origin of this is? Like we're talking about rider cups.

Something that's very important that we want to win as a country. And we're still beefing on this thing that it's hit a few different points. but originally it was about slow play. And so now we've made it all the way now where we've got a Ryder Cup coming really soon and we're still talking about this to the point where he's like, yeah, I can put anything aside for business,

but I refuse to fucking play with that guy. That's not what he said, but it's pretty much what he said. Let me ask you this. Do you think it like locks up a Ryder Cup win if Stricker pairs them together and they win their match? I think it'd go a long way.

It would, yeah. Imagine that. Imagine you pair the two of them together. They win and they're like fist bumping and everyone's like, Well, look, if these fucking guys can come together as American dudes and win this golf match, we can do it. Right. But, yeah, I agree.

And what Brooks is saying publicly, which everyone is going to read, we're going to talk about on this show. He's saying, I don't think we're going to be paired together, which is basically saying I don't want to be paired with him. And that's a weird way to go into a rider. Definitely. Definitely. See, I'm in a weird place because I'm almost so down on Bryson with all this stuff for the last couple weeks that it makes me higher on Brooks. I know. It's like a seesaw.

because then Bryson's response to all this when he gets asked the same question is I think it'd be fun I think it'd be a good time I think we'd work well together blah blah blah blah so I don't know it's just weird I like the beef I think it's been good for golf and everybody's been saying that the whole time but now it's getting to a point where he's going to like disrupt this whole thing or they are going to disrupt this whole thing for like a reason that oh you almost forget the reason it does put you in a weird place where it's like we've been many times been like this is great is what golf needs you need rivalries you need people to like be honest with each other you need

disdain out there everybody's not going to be friends you get 200 people on tour whatever but then it's like this is getting like petty and kind of lame my thing my only thing is that I don't know if all of this is worthy of that type of narrative true true like I'm fine with them going back and forth at each other and like you know him rolling his eyes

when Bryson walks behind him during a tournament but then to take it to a level where it's like now we're going to make the Rider Cup locker room awkward that's weird how they're going to be on the same team dinners and celebrations. But he did say he's able to put it past him for the week, but he doesn't want to. He said he can put anything aside for business, but then makes it clear that he doesn't think

they're going to play together. So then that's not putting aside, right? That's what I mean. The best thing was like his skill set and his skill set and they should play together. Right. That's not putting it aside for the team. That's saying it's a problem. Those public comments are not putting it aside.

Yeah. Like they're going to be in a picture together with like their respective girlfriends and stuff. That's weird. They hate each other. And I agree. Your take is more that like the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Like in terms of like where what's been created between them. Yeah.

It's just like was so petty. It's not worth Ryder Cup like interaction. But so something more than has clearly taken place between the, yes, slow play start to where it is now for something like that. It has escalated. And there's been different pockets of it. And we, it's a well documented history. And maybe it has reached a point in Brooks's eyes. that he's like, I just can't, I can't play with that guy at the Rider Cup.

It just, like, all I'm saying is it's fun and it's interesting for the game of golf when it's just going back and forth and there, it's an individual sport and they're at these tournaments, maybe running into each other here and there. And then you get to the Rider Cup and, like, if it divides the locker room at the Rider Cup, then it's like, well, this is really fucking stupid. Right. Very. Do you guys think I have to sleep on my stomach tonight?

Probably. Oh, God. I would sleep nice bad. You think so? Or I would sleep on a towel. Oh, jeez. You know what I mean? I know.

It's just uncomfortable. Right, but it's probably the right. Yeah. Put a couple towels down. Yeah. Put some ice down there. How do you normally sleep? Freeze it up?

I mix it up. You don't have like a, I'm a majority. I'm a back sleeper. Well, here's the situation is when I sleep is that I always fall asleep with the TV on. Okay. I just like to be watching something. So usually that means I'm kind of on my back. But then like at some point, ideally I flip over to my stomach, maybe hug a pillow, sleep like that.

I think the towels I think you're in for just a rough couple days. I don't know that. Yeah, I'm trying to like. What I saw today was it's a problem. It's a problem.

But he's trying to get advice on how to work through it. I think towels. Tows, yeah. I just wrap myself the towels. Yeah. Yeah, like a diaper. I mean, I mean,

the situation that you're in, yeah. That's what I was met. I think it's a problem. So like, so I have to address it. You got to address it like it's a problem. Like,

I have to address it like it's a problem. Yes. Every step of your life. Something is not going to just put away the problem. Okay, right. Fair. Oh, God. That's so bad. Yeah, it sucks. Trying to think if I saw any other questions.

Here's another thing I saw from Brooks. Okay. Or from Bryson. That was very interesting. Was his animosity towards being confronted about not yelling for. Oh, I missed that. So somebody asked him a very direct question about not yelling for. and his response was, I do shout four.

I don't know what you're talking about. See, he's on TV. And then, totally. And then he went and then he expanded further and said, I yell for like 99% of the time. And everyone's like, there's footage. There's the 1%. So now we're talking about the 1%.

Endless footage from the U.S. Open of him aiming purposely right on the fourth hole, hitting it into the gallery, and picking up his tea instantly without yelling for because that's where he's trying to hit it. There really isn't a guy that you can look at in this two-man thing where it's like, I definitely like this guy. No.

You know what I mean? I dislike both of them more. It's an impossible task because Bryson says things like this when you just know that he's lying. There's video evidence of him lying. Right. Or is his take like so robotic where he's like, well, no, that was like where I was intending to hit the ball. So they should know?

They should know when they're in the wrong spot. Like, is he that like out to lunch where it's like, no, actually the fairways to the left and you try to do something else and like remanaging it? and like the people stand there. So unless you want, I don't know, send your, you know, catty, whoever it's going to be, to get up there and tell people to move, like you're just hitting into them.

He's just a liar. That's a lie. Yeah. Right. 100% a lot. Dude, what I, this fucking guy, what I don't understand is he could just be like, you know what?

I did like, honestly, when I hit it there, I'm so locked in the moment. I didn't realize it. It's a really bad look and a mistake. I hope everybody's all right. I'm going to start yelling four more. And everybody would be like, all right, yeah, fair. He does not have that in it.

Dude, he's so incapable of this stuff. It's like, dude, we have footage of you doing that. Now you're just like a lying, like, psychopath, basically. You come off like a psychopath. Right. Like, hey, I'm taking on different lines of this golf course that nobody else really does. And so I should you start yelling for maybe there's something where I can work with courses to say, hey, this is the way I play this hole.

So when I do it. Tell people watch out. Right. Can we get people up there already that, you know, are in carts to say, hey, move back, move out of the area? Because, like, just be a human about it. But he just fundamentally can. You're sending a 200-mile-an-hour missile into a gallery of people all the time. Right.

Do that out of that context, and you will be arrested. Correct. Every Instagram he puts, it's like breaking ball speed from like 205 to 206. Like he's bragging about. Dude, if there was a crowd of people like coming out of a concert standing in a line, and then you grab like a golf ball-sized rock and you wound up and just threw it at them, you're in trouble. You're in trouble.

You just can't do that. The worst kind of trouble. It's bad trouble. Like an international villain. Imagine if that was like some bad guy stance where he just threw a rock. They somehow got you to a podium with a microphone in front of your face and you said you didn't do it. And there was video of you doing it. And then imagine if you just did that every 15 minutes.

Yeah. The glove doesn't fit. You must have quit. Yeah. It's just like, no. For like four and a half hours if you just did that every 15 minutes. And then you were like, what are you talking about? I don't do that.

Right. That'd be crazy. That's nuts. So he just needs to yell for. He's just driving everybody kind of crazy with this whole thing. I'm so out on him right now that I think we should change our logo. Whoa.

I agree. We've been talking about that for a while, but like, this would be a perfect opportunity. We've been talking about coming up with an alternative logo. This, I'm talking change the logo. Like, from him to a different person because it's like based on him. It was funny.

He was doing the drop with the hat and it was cool. I'm out on him. Let's change it. He's just driving me nuts. Let's change the logo. No more Bryson. Now there's something interesting I saw this video about Jordan Speed talking about his chipping.

Yeah. So Brandl tweeted it And he kind of I think he overlaid Which is amazing technology from Brando I think he overlaid speed Like answering a presser about his chipping Over a bunch of footage of him and Phil Chipping.

I watched it yeah And he talked about how he cuts He puts cut spin cuts every single chip he's ever hit He cuts it And he's like even a bump and run I cut it I use cut spin every single time It's significantly more controllable

And he's like and Phil actually came over to me one time And was talking through it and saying the same thing that Phil like cuts every single chip he's ever hit, which is interesting because if you look at Tiger, tigers talked a lot about how like when he goes to Augusta, he needs to practice beforehand, like drawing some chips and cutting other chips to get him up on knobs. And Speed and Phil were both just like I,

they're like, yeah, speed went in great detail about how he cuts every chip. What a different world. I'm just making contact. It's a different level. Yeah. It's like a different game at that point. I mean, that's the most obvious thing.

We're just hoping that we get solid, Contacting and land somewhere on the green. They're like, how am I, which way am I going to spend this? Much worried about looking at the golf ball. That's something that I've been doing recently with chips. I feel like I don't stare at the golf ball enough. It's like, how are you digging a little inside out? It's like, I don't know.

It's like I'm inside out. It's outside it. Right, right, right. Yeah, he's cutting like a cross-it. Right. Super, it's interesting. Very, very interesting. I just had a covered trap, like a trap.

I just want to get on the green. Yeah. And he was like, he went into, we could put some of the audio in, but he went into, like, Phil was like, hey, I notice you cover the ball. on all your chips. And Speed is like, I had never heard it phrase that way, but that actually makes a lot of sense where he's like, I do, I drive the ball kind of down into the ground.

And he's like, I even have always been like in my, he's like, I see other people nip them and all that. And he's like, I've always been a believer that like, I even take divvits. Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt you. They're doing the thing. They're doing the thing. They're throwing golf balls in the roof.

Todd Lewis, was just throwing golf balls into the rough. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt what you were saying. But it was just, it's so great when they do that. It really is. The golf journalist said major championship. ship. That's either the PGA championship, the United States Open, or the British Open. You must at some point grab a golf ball, drop it into the rough, take a video of it, and then put it out for the world. You know that it was on their schedule, too. Like, all right, you got interviews, and then we got to do a couple things here and there. But then we're going to take two golf balls, and we're going to walk out there. And we're going to throw them in the rough. And we're going to throw them in the rough. I do, too. I've come around on it. I'm telling you. I've done it. I think the first year. Yeah, we made videos mocking it at Shinnock. Remember we had you hide in the rough? And then we were, like, trying to find you.

worried I was going to get ticks, by the way, from that. Yes. But now, because we were making fun of it, obviously, because it's a funny thing. But I've now come around on it where I like watching it. I love it. Yeah. And I'm like, get in there on that. Where'd that ball end up?

What's that look like? Yeah. I kind of want to see it. But I also ruthlessly make fun of it. But it is a right of bet. And I will say, when you're there on site and you're walking through it, it is almost impossible to resist the urge to be like, give me a golf ball. I got a golf ball.

It's rough. And I got to get my phone out. I got to film it. Yeah. People won't believe that. Shinnecock was also, I think, the first major, I could be wrong, that we had credentials at. So write a passage again. We couldn't believe we were there.

Couldn't believe that we were there with credentials. It felt like we were in trouble. Like we stole somebody's ID and we broke into the U.S. Open and we were like there. What's it? The par 311th we dropped a ball on it. It rolled like 100 yards off the front. Yeah, it's violent. Yeah.

So yeah. Look, I think the chipping, the whole chipping thing, if you haven't seen that clip, Brando Shambly tweeted it out I highly recommend you go check it out because I found it very, very fascinating I think you can help people's short game. Another thing that really help actually is if you use the tailor-made golf balls.

So I'm holding before you gentlemen these TP5Xs. Yeah, those are nice. And we just got, you can actually go get these on our website, store dot barcelports.com. But I have these TP5Xs which have the transfusion barstool logo on them.

You can hear us. We're opening the boxes here. Yeah. Look at that. This is what we're going to be rocking. these things are hot these things are absolutely sexy wow yeah

and on this golf ball this logo just looks really good on this ball it's clean it's small which I love we're all going to be using this today we're going to need some marks on these yeah I think I might say because I knew everybody's going to use them I think I'm going to use my jackrabbit south Dakota state jack rabbit golf balls I only got like five left

so I need to really cherish we don't all have to use these I'm going to use these I'm going to use I think you're crazy enough to I don't know I got a very good idea that's a really good golf ball that's a very good idea But Taylor Made, look, we've been Taylor Made athletes now since the very beginning of the year. We have our own link that you can go to

Marshallsports.com slash Taylor Made. Sim 2. It's an absolute weapon. The P770 is the best irons ever seen. Lurchall yesterday. I've never hit irons like I'm hitting these irons. It's crazy how good you're hitting these things. It's unbelievable. You're not missing. I would say unbelievable.

Not missing. It was, we had a fun match yesterday. It was actually a really enjoyable round of golf. But, like, the worst part about your game yesterday was putting. Usually Riggs is a phenomenal putter. It wasn't just, like, lying. It was more speed. He was blowing like a 30 foot, like 15 to 20 feet bottom.

I'm uncomfortable. You didn't know what was going on. It was crazy. But like he was flushing the golf ball. So we just had a very different match. Usually I hit it well and don't putt well. He does kind of the opposite. He's, I mean, flushing the golf ball.

Flushing it. And I'm telling you it's these P770. Dude, I'm locked in with them. And they just feel so good. It comes off like penetrating, but also high. It stays in the air for a while. Land's soft. And my yardages are really consistent.

So the irons, you guys got. think the P790s, a couple of you guys? Yep. They're just so good. They're so good. So you can go to Taylormade. I'm sorry, you go to Barstlesport.com slash Taylormae. We've got our own landing page.

You can check out a lot of the options, the hedges, the high-toe wedges, if you're trying to do a little cut spin thing that we were just talking about. High-toe wedges are perfect for that. TP-5. TP-5Xs are great. Tor response balls for people that want the tour experience with the ball, but you don't want to spend as much. Those are fantastic.

So just a big thanks to Taylor-May because they work really hard. We met a bunch of, like, their engineers. They work so hard to just, create the best equipment. It's a great crew, yeah. And they've done a great job, and it's very fun to use and play better golf. You love them. I love them. I do too. I mean, I just wanted to, if you were going to say it, I wanted to say it too. I love them and I love Taylor Bay. My change was from the 790s to the 770s. Seven 90s are hot. Those things explode off the club face. I feel like now that I'm a little bit more dialed in, the consistency of depth in terms of like

how far I hit each club is so much tighter with the 770s that I feel like I'm even more dialed into distances, which, you know, is awesome that you, you know, talking about trust and confidence. I got a lot of trust and confidence in my golf club. Well, sometimes when I say that I have the P790s, people are like, because they look at me as, you know what they look at me like. They're like, you should get an iron that's a little more forgiving, but now I've grown into these P790s.

They should be using nine hybrids. What are you doing? They do. Some people do say that. But now, because my goal was when we got fitted at the kingdom, I had the conversation with the fitter and said, I'm really trying to improve this year. And I know maybe the P790s are,

not as forgiving as I need right now, but now that my game is in a better place, I love them. I love them. The snap when you hit it the right way. Also, one of your favorite things in golf is hitting a low iron, like a four iron. Well, my favorite thing is I want the ability to be able to hit those iron.

And I have been hitting them much more consistently nowadays. Golf is about having fun, and so if you're able to do it. It's a little bit of both. But now that I'm in a better place with my game, the P790s are perfect. They're awesome. You go to barstlesports.com slash tailor-made and check it out. Big thanks to Taylor-Made.

Great company. They put a lot of work in. They create the best stuff, and it makes everybody a better golfer. Gentlemen, I'm going to hit you with the forecast for the 149th Open Championship. Okay. You know, I jump around between calling British Open and Open. This is from Ryan Lavner at Golf Channel. Great guy, great rider.

He said, the open forecast is delicious. Thursday, dry, 25-mile-hour gusts. Friday, dry, 25-hour. mile an hour gust. Saturday, dry, 25 mile an hour gust. Sunday, dry, 25 mile an hour gusts. Oh, boy. Delicious. Four straighties.

I'm going to say it. I think there's a chance we get an overpar winter this week. Definitely. If we're talking about crown greens and the wind like that, it's just going to be brutal to hold anything on the green. Yeah, the greens aren't crown. The fairways are crying. Fairways. Oh, well, Frankie was saying that he saw some greens that were just like there was a mound in the middle of the green?

No, no. The green was up on... Oh, just elevated. Yeah. Oh, got it, got it. Got it. They just got big swales in there. But a few of the fairways are crowned to the point where, like, you hit a great drive, and it just kicks right into the rough, and you're totally screwed.

And then the greens have a ton of movement. It's going to be windy. And if it's dry, like, the biggest thing was that the fairways are watering them because they're actually trying to keep them a little bit more wet. So, that balls weren't just bounting into the rough when people are losing their minds. Whereas now, what, Tram? I'm excited. The prospect of a overpar winter makes me excited. So excited.

Genuinely. So hopefully if it's dry, too, like by the time we get to Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Like the course is a little browner, a little bit more burned out. Balls are just bounding into terrible spots where, you know, it's like that classic British open camera angle that you get where the ball lands in the fairway. And you're like, they show the guy and he's like staring it down a little bit like nervous. You see it bounce once, bounces twice, bounces three times. You're like, that's great. But you're like, ooh, that thing's moving.

And then it goes through like some rough. And then all of a sudden it just disappears into like some fescue. And you're like, oh, how did that happen at the fairway? That's what I want. exciting all week long i want that early morning watching golf i hope there's that fairway bet on the book because if there is a lot of nose a lot of nose we shouldn't talk about that maybe they won't know about it i know maybe they're not smart enough to think like it's gonna be really hard to hit at fairways shit i think they probably are they're probably every single one

no just no for every single one no bryson no oh that'll be great he's me blowing through fairway right he's gonna be looking at different lines oh yeah he's gonna be looking at different lines oh yeah They jumped in a pool to go, so they're ready to go. Yeah, totally. That's how you do it. Yeah, it's how you lock it up. Weird. Lock it up.

I like Speed this week. Okay. I love Speed this week. Okay. I think Speed is going to be my pick to win because, you know, I know we just talked about it. You don't love to pick winners, but speed is probably going to be my pick to win as, I think he's like 20 to one or something.

Okay. I just saw that video and now I'm just all in on. I was going to say you fell in love of that video. Totally. I mean, you're always looking for something when you're trying to, you know, differentiate and pick somebody. So I saw that video, him chipping. I was like, done.

Roy said he found something in his swing. Like, in the range sessions he added, like, post not making the cut. Because now he's been able to be on property for longer walk the course. And so he says he's found something in his swing and a small presser. It's like, I'm in. It's amazing to hear a guy like him say that. Yeah. Just because that's something we say.

That's like rigs with the chair sit. He's found his swing. He's been his swing. His swing has been locked up in, like, a closet that no one. that no one ever can access. Roy had that swing when he was born. It looks identical. Yeah.

I like it, though. I think I'm with Lurch. No, I mean, I'm big Roy. Again, that's what you're always looking for something to differentiate. That's what it is, then that's what it is. But no, look, I'm for the record. I would on Rory this week. I just haven't loved what I saw, what I've seen.

I hope I'm wrong, because I love when Rory plays really well. I think it's awesome. Especially the open. Like, you want Rory to do well. Always. Yeah, totally. So, I mean, that would be great, but I just not that high on them. I'm high on speed.

So that's pretty much all I got. Oh, here we go. Just the quick here, I think we've got all. The course is 22 yards shorter than 2011. All right. So keep that in mind. Wow, that's interesting. So keep that a little over a yard a hole.

A little over. Yeah, I mean, all right. There's not 22 holes in the golf course. No, there's not. Your math is just off. So, but, you know, keep that in mind when you're watching. That's just idiot math. We're being honest.

Look, this guy's. Oh. Look, this guy's hair. This is not great podcasting because we're watching TV. They just pan to like Howard Stern. Who the fuck? Paul Larson is the head greenkeeper at Royal St. George. Frankie, you got, I can't believe we didn't do it behind the greens with this.

That guy is my dream. You would have driven your whole series, man. Oh my God. That's just Howard Sturt. They panned to him. What's his name? Talking about the golf? Paul Larson, I think.

Paul Larson. Head greenskeeper. He's got a mop up there. Oh, boy. So everybody enjoy the Open. Like Bon Jovi maybe he looks like, kind of. I think Howard Stern's perfect. He is.

So that guy's the behind the scenes, man, just getting this place ready to go. Enjoy the Open. I hope you have a better next four days than I'm going to. For sure. And I hope, you know, what's happening to me, everyone's healthy and happy in that your bumholes aren't by bleeding out. Yikes. Tighten those things up, people, when I'm rooting for. Frankie thinks you should put ice on it tonight to tighten up.

I think just maybe just like putting ice. I was thinking more like you fill up the whole toilet bowl with just ice. And you just sit on it. And you just cool it down. That's a good close. I would almost think it would make like a t-s-noye noise. Yeah. Oh, like sizzling up.

Melt the ice. We got to get out of here. Yeah. Woo. All right. Hit it hard, but like not too hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.

Hit it hard. Yeah.
