I mean, yesterday's show was an hour and a half. Yeah. There's just so much to talk about. It is. The idea was, you know, we're having like two-hour shows and now we're just going to have like an hour and a half, hour and a half. It's fine. People like it. People like it.

You know, there's just so much. There's two. Once a week, the problem, too, is when you're only doing Tuesday, we would record on Monday. And the amount of shit that happens between Tuesday and, like, even like, what's call it, Friday is crazy. It's a lot. It's like all the lead up to the tournament. We're like a day behind. We didn't get to address it.

And then new shit happens Saturday and Sunday. That dwarfs the Tuesday, Wednesday stuff, and we never got to fucking talk about it. Now we got everything. It's awesome. So two shows a week. You guys are welcome. We just deliver. That's what the boys do.

Um, it's British Open Week. Frankie. We didn't have you on last, last show. You were in D.C. Yep. Uh, missed you guys. We missed you. Yeah, we did miss you.

Uh, so where is your British Open preparation? Are you doing like some ketchup in your brain just like, oh shit, it's British Open week? No, I feel like this came up quickly. It came up quickly, but, um, like I told you, I've been following the, uh, the opens Instagram for several since last year. It's because I thought it was so cool, like the pictures they were posting. So I've been ready for a carnage. for a long time. They do,

the European tour and the Open do great social media work. Yeah. So I've been ready for this. I've seen the, I've seen the, you know,

it's just dead land. I've seen that for a long time now. And I think that they were expecting it to be pretty bad, but I think this is like, I think this is shocking at how fast these fairways are. Do you think they've lost control of the course?

In their own way, in, they never had control of the golf. Yeah, in their own way, I don't think they've ever had control. Zach Johnson, He might, I mean, his brain's going to malfunction when he gets house here. He's going to hit, like, a seven iron that's going to go like 852 feet, and he's just going to be like, they have completely lost control of this fucking golf.

He's going to be like, no one ever had control of golf courses anymore? I remember a day when we had these goddamn things under control. And now these, back in my days, we used to control the golf courses in this millennial generation. Yeah, our millennials are ruining golf courses? I don't like that Zach Johnson's become a punching bag on this podcast, but he did it to himself. He did it to himself. I buried him in a blog today. I just, he's just a punching bag.

I mean, it plays. Yeah. He's just a whiny bitch. They lost control of the golf course. He's never going to live that down. I can't think of him any other way of, other than the picture of him kissing that trophy, where his eyes are open. Yeah.

You've seen that one. Yeah, I know. It's very sad because creepy. He's a bad visual, and he also just said stupid things out of his mouth. It's very sad to what this point because he's one of the few golfers who have won at Augusta and at the old course. So, he's got a cool, you know, a little resume and all that, and he seems like a nice guy. but he just, that one line will live from forever. I'm talking, now it's such, it plays, too.

It's to such a point where, like, when I post my scorecard, I make a triple in the first hold at Oakmont. People are like, it feels like they really lost the golf course. You know what's a real shame is that we don't have audio of that. If we could just plug that in every single time, there's like an out of control course, but he just said it as a quote to some reporter. Did he? Yeah, I believe so. It was a note.

I believe, yeah, all I ever saw was the quote card. I never saw it, like a recording. I feel like we would have, that recording we would have had. It's still, God, it's such a minute. that we didn't just go up to the podium and just start crying and saying we lost the golf course. British Open Week, I will say that I'm sitting here right before you now. I am actually dressed head to toe in Peter Malar stuff. I bought this vest.

So this vest is Oakmont. Okay. Real nice. It's very nice, obviously. And my shorts are Shinnecock. And the point that I'm making with that is that... Other than flexing? Well, I'm flexing.

That's probably the main point. actually. I didn't even think about that. Okay. So, point one of our sponsors, right? They send us a bunch of free shit, tons of free stuff. Their stuff is so good that what I'm wearing, I just go into pro shops and buy Peter Amar stuff that costs me a good amount of money because their stuff's the best.

It's so good that I just go buy more of it. So they send me all of this free stuff. And then when I go to pro shops and nice places, I just spend my own money and buy a bunch of it. And I'm wearing this Oakmont vest. So a little tidbit for you guys. about Okman. So Oakmont has this one squirrel logo that it's like a cute, cool little squirrel. And apparently the members, they look at that as like, that logo is like out.

Oh. They like frown upon that logo. That's like you're a blatant, like guest type logo. Like that's what a guest buys. Yeah. And they told me that. Whereas this one that's just like OCC is like, that's if a member sees you on the street, he'll like give you a nod.

Like, oh, that's the big time one. Yeah. So I got the sick one. You don't want to be seen wearing the squirrel. The squirrel, they like, they almost laughed me out of the room when I was like, I think I'm going to buy one of the squirrel ones. They're like, I mean, buddy, that's like that you're a sucker if you buy the squirrel one. So anyways, I'm rocking all Peter Millar stuff.

Our fans, all of our listeners out there, here's what you guys can do. You go to petermalar.com slash four. We get you complimentary shipping and we get you a free hat. Okay. So not only can you go on there and buy the best stuff in the business, it's so breathable. It's awesome. We're wearing the performance shorts right now. Are we been talking about how hot it is?

You were just down to D.C., Frankie. It was the center of hell. I don't understand. We didn't go that far south. You know what? I asked Nate about it. It was so hot that I actually thought at one point I was just going to stop walking and just die. There was a point where I was halfway to where my destination was and halfway from my hotel.

And I didn't think I could make it either way. I just thought it was over. I thought it was over. No man's land. It was 100. It said on my app, it said it felt like 112 degrees. That's hot. I didn't realize that they built that place on an actual swamp.

That's what Nate Dogg told me. D.C.? Yeah. Yeah, because even when they have the Quigalones National there, that's always like, you know, in New York, it'll be like, oh, it's like 708, it's pretty warm. Yeah. And they're like a short train ride south and Tiger's walking around. I mean, he's drenched in sweat. It's just drenched.

And I'm like, what is wrong with D.C.? Yeah, it's a swamp. Nate said they built it on an actual swamp, and so it gets hotter when, yeah, because it's not that far from New York, and it should be similar. It's just not. It was like 20 degrees hotter in D. It was disgusting. So here's the deal. When it's hot, when you're out there sweating, you're trying to play golf or maybe you're going to work.

You want the best, the most breathable, the most stylish, the most comfortable stuff. Their performance shorts, all of their stuff, their shirts, even their dress shirts. We're talking about their dress shirts are like that same stretchy performance thin type material, except you're wearing a dress shirt. It's the best. So we've been rocking all their stuff because it is by far the best. Any pro shop you go into, you got to get the Peter Milar stuff. Peter Millar is our favorite. It's not even close.

The fact that their sponsor is the coolest thing on the planet because I already bought a bunch of Peter Malar stuff. And now they're part of the team. They're part of the squad. They love four play. You go to Petermalar.com slash four. That's Peter M-I-L-L-A-R.com slash four. Peter Malar.com slash four.

We get you complimentary shipping. We get you a free hat and you can buy all your own really cool, awesome Peter Malar stuff. Petermalar.com slash four. Go get it. Okay. Now, it's the British show. open. We're talking. Tiger's hitting. I think he said he hit a three iron like 333 yards.

That's what he said. The golf ball, nothing stops it. I mean, Frank Navalo kept saying nothing can stop the golf ball basically except for bad badness, like huge pop bunkers and fescue and rough and these burns. It's just nothing can stop the golf ball. So watching this, I saw yesterday too, the open, the British Open coverage, not only are they doing the top tracer thing, but they're doing a top tracer like special technology deal that tracks it on the ground like it's a fucking rodent running across the ground. Yes. I love

that. That's amazing. I can't stop laughing at like the only thing that can stop the golf ball is badness. How are you supposed to play golf in that? No matter what you do, it's always going to end up somewhere bad. It's like ice. It's just ice out there.

Said he hit a seven iron off one of the T's. Like, you know, all the, the course is 7,400. yards. Think about a par four is probably 400-something yards and he's like, I'm going to reach every trouble imaginable, all the trouble imaginable, unless I hit a seven iron off. When they say that, I envision someone just dropping a ball gently in the middle of fairway and it just scurrying away into the grass. That's all I can picture. It's unbelievable. Like it has wheels and it just like, motors into the grass. Like that lemon the other day, did you see that lemon rolling down the street?

That's what I think the balls are going to be like at Carnuske. That lemon was very suspect. I thought someone was on the other end of that lemon with a goddamn string. People just accept things on the internet, which I'm sort of in that camp too. When the lemon went a mile and a half. If it's like, holy shit, that lemon's not going to stop. I'm like, I'm in on this video. I'm going to keep watching. There's probably something suspect about that.

There will be clips of the golf ball moving where people think it's like edited. I guarantee it. Yeah, I think so, too. It's just going to keep going and going and going. The golfers just going to have his hands up and you're just going to be like, what the you know what the ball. I want, I want like a wide frame shot from the side of like where the ball lands and then where like the little rodent scurring.

movement where it ends up. Tiger said, you can really make the ball roll 60, 70, 80 yards. Is it worth it or not? Some of the holes can you carry bunkers? You have to think about it. It is a risk-reward golf course. And the way it's set up right now, it is going to play awfully narrow because it's so fast. Yeah. The fairways, it's not even like that they're super narrow. It's like that they don't exist because the fairways are so fast. It'd be like if the fairways were just made of like severely tilted ice. And it'd be like, that doesn't exist. You can't stop your ball there. We're also getting the videos now where people are chucking the ball as hard as they can off the fairway. And it bounces like 30 feet in the air. I always love those videos. Those are my favorite. It's like it's a trampoline. Alex Noren was just dropping it.

Like it was a basketball. He's like walking around the fairway. I was like, what is going on here? So it's going to be so much fucking fun to watch this golf tournament. Tiger has de-lofted his two iron. I got to tell you something. When you wrote this in the email, so Rick sends us an email of all the things that we're going to talk. about. And I read through it and there's like, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. And when I read, Tiger has

delofted his two iron for the stinger at Carnusty. I honestly read it as though it was like in the purge, like the movie The Purge when just like things come over the loudspeakers and everyone just like stops. I pictured a war siren going off and everyone just stops like what's that noise about that happened? And someone just like, Tiger Woods has delofted his two iron and is ready for Carnusty. It's like what the f. For the stinger And people just aren't heading for the hill. And then all of a sudden you just see a jet

Just like take off over you're like Zoom! And you're like, what the fuck is going on? It's like Tiger is delofted. You get like a sea of people dive into the Atlantic Ocean to swim over to Cardoose student, check it out. There's so many weird things happening around this tournament.

I don't honestly know what to expect when we finally tee it up. I don't either. Tigers de loft in his clubs. People are running their balls in a fescue no matter where they put it. It's going to be, They're saying that the fairways are just blatantly faster than the greens, which has never, like, happened, like, anywhere.

David Duvall, they go, Rex Hoggard asked him about the fairways being faster than the greens, which has been a big Tiger quote. That's been, like his big thing all week. Right, because he doesn't put well on slow green. Right. So I think he's trying. I don't like that thing that Tiger does where he, like, he builds an excuse before we go. I know. I know.

I was worried about that. I'm seeing this happen. Rex Hoggard, Golf Channel, asked David Duval about the fairways rolling faster than the greens this week. Duval said that's a little bit of an understatement. They're not even close to the same speed. The greens might be a nine, maybe. The fairways are at least a 13. A 13.

Him just lean in the rec talking to be like, listen, that's an understatement, my friend. That's an understatement. They're like, they're rolling twice as fast. So I imagine this. Like usually if you've got, let's say you hit an iron approach shot to the green, you come up like 15 feet short. And then you've got like 30 feet to the pin. Usually you're like, okay, I have to factor in that for the first 10 or 15 feet this put, it's going to be slower.

You have to factor in it. It's going to be faster and then it's going to slow down when it gets on the green. That's crazy. Insane. I mean, you could put a, you can put a ball from like 60, 70 yards away. Yes. You could. And we probably see people do it.

You're going to see people doing that, yeah. I would imagine. Yeah, you are. That's so much fun. I love that. We talk about it. You talk about it a lot where, like, you love the fact that different major championships have their thing.

Like the fact that we get to watch guys putting the ball from like 80 yards away and fucking Tigers de lofting a stinger for. Carnoustie. That's awesome. This is an awesome, awesome major championship. Yeah, Tiger has legitimately invented a new club for how awesome this thing is going to be at Carnuz. He has de lofted his two iron. The thing might be in the air for 40 yards and then it's just going to be rolling at that point forever. I mean, the camera on that. And the videos are coming out of him practicing it and they are sexy. Oh, my God. And he's got, yeah. And it's got like that dark and it's like, it's a thicker driving iron like dark and it just looks. I mean, he's looking more and more like the

Terminator or like Dark Vader every day. Like when he comes out and tees off, he should paint his clubs from top to bottom black and then only wear all black except for on Sunday where he wears all black and a red shirt and he's just like golf, golf Vader they should call him. Yeah. And then when he shows up to, I just got a tingle when he said golf Vader. He comes golf Vader. And when he shows up to that tournament that plays walk-up music and everyone's playing all

these fucking want-to-be cool songs and all these hip songs. The Imperial March. And he just comes up to like, dun da-da-d-d-da-d-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And he's like, what the fuck? He's here. And Tiger's fucking walking up. He doesn't say, he doesn't look at anyone.

Oh, we absolutely need that. Even, like, with his dark sunglasses on and everything. We need parents to be, like, shielding their kid's eyes when he walks up onto the teeth. Yeah, like, if the major championships became, like, 18-plus because Tiger's, like, so ruthless. Those sunglasses he wears are so funny. He was at, is it Wimbledon wearing those sunglasses. Oh, did you guys talk about this? His look?

Because, I mean, come on. His off course look is horrendous. Always been horrific. I mean, he's never even close. He was wearing these, like, jogger sweatpants, and he had the high socks on with these, like, ultra boosts. And it was a look, man. He's got to be a classic. He's always been surrounded by yes people guy.

Oh, yeah. Like, even from reading his book, shout to Armie Ketian. Yeah. Like, no one's ever just been like, dude, you look like a fucking idiot. Like, what do you do it? Remember, whenever he does. is whenever he walks around the sites for his new golf courses he wears...

He's got the jeans. The jeans or he wears the pants with like 11 cargo pockets. Yes. You know, like the khakis with like... Like, what are you holding in there? Just like golf balls. It's so shocking because at tournaments,

he's obviously all put together and his sponsors like, you've got to wear this. Just wear that. He's the best looking guy in golf clothes in the world. Yes. But then when he steps off a golf course, he looks like a clown. It's like a small sort of rebellion

when he gets to like dress on his own. He's like, I'm going to wear joggers and high socks and a backwards hat. He looked like a weird dad. A backwards hat that's not. supposed to go backwards. No. It was correct. It's a it's a built, it's a made forward's hat that he wears backwards. It's just common

sense. You all know what we're talking about out there. Like, you get a hat, you try it on backwards and you're like, that doesn't work. I always have to wear this hat forwards. He just wears it backwards and it's like, it looks like, what does he do it? He doesn't. It's like in Big Daddy when he lets the little kid dress himself. He's like, call me Frankenstein, and then

I'm going to wear whatever I want. That's what Tiger's like. That could quite literally be the reason, like you're alluding to. He gets dressed for, like people give him his outfits. I'm assuming Nike chooses his outfits for the week. Yeah. So, I mean, any chance that they're not doing that, and he's just, like, he's staring at a closet of clothes.

He has no idea what the fuck to do. You know that the tiger commercial, when everyone's hacking it left and right, and then he shows up on the range and everybody's striping it? Yeah. And then he walks away and everybody's terrible again. That is a metaphor for him dressing. Like, when Nike's not around to tell him how to dress, he's a hack, he can't even, like, play golf when it comes to dressing himself.

Then they tell him what to do, and he looks like the sharpest person on the planet. And then the minute that the tournament's over, over again. His brain doesn't work when it comes to, like, getting himself ready. He looked absurd in Wimbledon. Just absurd. Oh, we got to find that picture of his fucking khaki, his khaki, like, quadruple cargo shorts, pants. Their pants, they're like the military pants.

What are you carrying around? Pensils. Everything. He could carry everything in those pants. One of everything. The two iron. The amount of blogs I'm going to write about the different de-lofted two iron shots I see this week are going to be awesome.

The R&A, the British Open, has roasted Phil Mickelson. he's putting on the screen and there's a giant electronic like billboard scoreboard behind him and as he's putting it just says in huge letters think you know the rules question mark look I'm not 100% positive that this wasn't just a coincidence I bet they do like these little like the more you know type things yeah but they do them for like fun intricate like rule books rules from the rule book yeah and this might have just popped up wow Phil was there putting, but some photographer snagged this, and it is my favorite picture. Phil has admittedly had, like, the worst month of his career publicity-wise.

Oh, yeah. And now he just gets roasted by the RNA, which as guys who were close personal friends with USGA, and they've always been the bad boy, right? They've got guys like Zach Johnson, like crying because they lost the golf course, all that stuff. Now the RNA is coming out trolling Phil. Phil has no chance. No, no. Yeah, that's a classic boom roast.

I mean, you can't be... I saw it and I said, oh, boom roasted. I said, I actually, I like gas, I said, oh. Well, at first, you obviously think it's... I mean, it's so... It's so anti what you see on the golf course, especially coming from someone, like coming from an organization that I thought it was clearly Photoshopped.

So did I. But it's not. No, I thought it was Photoshop too. And I didn't really do much research, but I did see a couple replies to this guy's tweet. And the guy was like, I just took this fucking picture. I'm just on the golf course and I took this picture. I think up until this point, Phil's having a lot of fun with this.

Oh, the rule violation thing. It's kind of funny that I've been doing this. Now that he's getting boom roasted, I don't think Phil's having fun anymore. No, I don't think Phil likes getting boom roasted at all. No. Listen, he made a mistake at Shinnecock. He admitted it. He did a dumb-ass thing.

It caused a lot of controversy, but he just hasn't recovered. Like, he needed to, like, just step away from it. What he did when he, like, called the rules violation on himself and everything's just, it's just way too many rules talking. for Phil. He's got to just take a fucking, he's just got to stop talking. Like, just stop. Why don't you sit this next one out? Like, that's what we had to do. And he's not a sit-it-out guy. He loves, like, fucking calculating with the media on, like, getting his message out the right way, being kind of the goofball and, like, whatever.

And it's just, you're right, he keeps piling more dirt on himself. However, he also had this awesome flop shot. Awesome. Which, this, I mean, you would think you get tired of these. He's been doing these since, like, 92. too. This was amazing. The different views from this, too, like, it was amazing. He swung harder than I swing at a driver. And the ball,

I mean, flop is like an understatement. The ball almost went backwards. So, I mean, so he's, so he has someone just a stranger, right? This is what he's always done. He has a stranger to stand. How far is it away is a person? The guy was like a couple feet away. Like two, three feet away. I would say like three feet.

Yeah. Standing up a tall guy, it's not like you're just hitting over like a midget or a child. You're a small person. I don't think we say midget. anymore. Yeah, I know. Yeah, we don't say a midgett. I think that's falling out of public favor. Well, you know what always gets me is our our tiny person?

Our little man's up. I mean, he calls himself the midget. Yeah, his Twitter handle is literally dumb midget dembo. So that always tells me. Yeah, no, I agree with that. Anyways, little person. But I mean, yeah, so he's hitting this over a grown-ass man.

Not that little people aren't grown-ass man. You just still be older. You're Phil Mickelsing. I am so Phil Mickelson. Keep digging. about the shit. Fuck. Fill yourself.

Shit, man. I've never seen someone. I'm just. In the matter of a minute and a half, you went from calling out Phil for filling himself to now you're filling yourself. I've been having a week of this. When we were in D.C. doing Barso's Radio. I, like, just said the dumbest thing of all time. I, like, you know, there was a big crowd.

I tried to mix it up with the crowd while we were up there and everyone can hear us. I'm like, oh, we got a lot of fans out here today. I'm like, man, it's pretty shocking. Like, I said, where do you think the most fans are coming from? I'm like, I see a lot of Orioles fans. Like, because, you know, and everyone's like, you know that, I mean, like, they just live here. Like, that's like, that's where all the fans are. That's where we are.

And, like, they're roasting me and roasting me. And I just, like, I just couldn't get out of it. So I'm like, you know who wears the real uniforms? Those servicemen and women back there. And I had the whole crowd. Like, yeah. And there was like a bunch of Marines in the back just, like, cheering. I totally got out of it.

Okay, wow. Oh, yeah. I'm looking at this film video and he's two feet from the guy. It can't be more than two, two and a half feet. He's close. I mean, he's very close. With a full swing. I mean, it's so crazy.

Yeah, you're right. He might be a foot and a half away. I will say this guy here, the guy who's standing in front of Phil, he leans back a little bit, and I think at this point you've got to trust Phil. He's been doing this for so many years. I get that he's probably a little scared. It's just human instinctive. I think you just, like, you instinctively...

Do you think there's any part of Phil that has any doubt that he's ever not going to do this correctly? No. No. Because he has, like, a lot to lose if he just blast this guy in the face. Yeah, he doesn't need to prove to do these anymore. But again, this might be part of, you know, his comeback, PR, back routine. He's going to flop it over somebody's head that people are going to love it, which we do.

I mean, it works, right? We're like, we're like Googling over this right now. How awesome. Would you, I'm not confident? Would you stand there? Yeah, because I'm not confident in anything as much as he is in hitting that ball over my head. Also, if you get, if you get hit, it's worth it. Oh, yeah. I mean, you're the guy in the video that got hit. I mean, you don't get that hurt. I mean,

it's probably not a tooth out of something if it's fucking hits you. You'd be really unlucky to get that hurt. Yeah. So, I have an announcement to make. I have a I've ordered a swing aid. Oh, I saw this. What happened was this. A guy DM me and said, Riggs, you have to get this and linked to it.

And said, this helped my swing. I had the same issues as yours. This will help your swing. I DM back and said, what is it? And he sent me the link to actually buy it. 60 seconds later, I was 70 bucks deep. Already on its way. It's called the hangar, I think.

this is something straight out of Papa Barely's book right here The amount of people that replied And we're like I guarantee Mr. Breely Has this in the garage Or you're gonna be like a This is a Michael Breed

You're gonna have all these things in your apartment But you're not gonna have it like a national TV show I've never been a contraption guy This is a contraption But this the guy His DMs You're a contraption guy now I just I you know you kind of scroll through the DMs

And you don't read all of them But like you try to see some of them And I'm like you know whatever You try to like interact with the people and I just I got a couple sentences into this guys and I was like hmm same swing issues as me fixed okay

and I was like what is it and then he sent me the link and I looked at it in one second and it was like I googled it too and the people were like this totally works it's great I was like done so it's something that connects to your your arm and the club and it's just going to help you I don't really know I don't I have a contra

the picture of it looks insane like you're going to be connected to all these wires and these poles, there's poles involved? I might get stuck in my apartment. Like, with this thing, the hanger. I might get, hang myself in my apartment. But people, then I've had a bunch of people responding, like, you know you can just use an actual, like, 40-cent clothes hanger is the exact same thing. I was like, buddy, look.

Listen. Listen. I'm not using a great depression. We can fucking. Rings has got $70 that he can stay. He's got some income. You people think I'm going to trust my golf swing with a clothes hanger. You're a lunatic.

If you are poor, if you are not, if you're a poor midget, if you don't have enough money to get the hanger and you need to use a clothes hanger to fix your swing, you are not rich enough to golf. Because golf is an expensive fucking game. Expensive game. If you can't spend $60 on something that you want to fix your swing and you need to use a goddamn clothes hanger that you steal from the dry cleaners, we have an issue. I need a company behind my contraption. I need a paint job, a marketing effort. I need all of that package. I'll pay for all that.

That's not a problem. You mark it up. But I'm not, you will not see me tied to a clothes hanger in my pocket. Absolutely not. I'm not that. Things have gone way sound if Riggs is too. I look like playing with a fucking clothes hanger. Thank you.

Like things are on the up and up. We're getting sponsors. We're playing the best golf courses in the world. I'm not using a fucking close hanger. I'll give my 70 bucks, 80 bucks, whatever fuck you guys want to charge. I'll spend $200. Give me my hangar. It's one of those things.

It's like, it's like jewelry. Like the more expensive it gets, the more you're like, oh, this is nice. Thank you. I'm not exactly. Exactly. That's a great example. where it's like if you're selling jewelry for 20 bucks, you're fucking jewelry sticks.

You're going to turn green. Yeah, it's going to turn your skin. You're nice to do that in high school. I swear gold chains in high school or middle school. And my neck would just turn absolutely green. Oh, yeah. It's bad news. So anyways, we got that coming.

We're going to do a product review. We're going to see where we're at with that. The people want it. They're asking for it. I'm very, very, very curious to get it. And the logic behind it makes sense. If it's something that doesn't allow you to go back on a flat plane or coming out the wrong way. If it just guides you the right way

and it's just muscle memory, if you do it all night all day. Which I will be. I'm going to be doing in the bathroom at the office. We go in there to go to the bathroom and they're like, we're going to see Riggs walking into the bathroom with a hanger just out of his back pocket. Like, what the fuck is he bringing in there? Such a quick sell. I love that. He was just like, it'll fix to your swing

because your swing's like mine and there you go and Riggs is like done. Done. So you're right, Frankie. I think that like the theory is that this physical object is going to be in the way of where I usually go. Yes. And I don't need to go there. I need to go somewhere else. And boom, I'm going to be there. So it's great.

I'm very excited. The other thing is we're going to get into a bunch of from the galleries coming up. Before we get into that, I've had a bunch of people ask me about drone rigs because everybody wants to get in the drone game. Yeah. What do you use, blah, blah, blah. I talked to the sales team was like, maybe we should get a sponsorship from this drone company. We haven't made it happen. So I'm just going to talk about it.

I have the DJI Spark is what it's called. It's this little fucker. I'm telling you, the thing fits in one of the pockets of my golf bag. that's how like small and light the thing is. You even rock it like you even you carry it. You can't even tell that it's in there. It's very light. It's very small.

DJI Spark. It's unbelievably easy to figure out how to use. I didn't know a fucking thing about droning. And in like maybe a half hour session all of a sudden, I could pretty much do everything that I wanted to be able to do. Yeah. When we were down at Stany Gary Players House, you brought out the drone so I could fly it a little bit.

It took me two minutes to figure out. It's like a video game. It is. Simple video game. And so the DJI Spark, get it with the controller, which I believe now, back when I bought it like six months ago, it didn't come to the controller, but I believe now it does. But make sure you get one that comes with the controller. And all you do, it's very simple. You download this app.

You sync up your drone, your controller, and your phone. And then every time you fly the drone, you just slide the phone into this controller and you're holding it in front of your face with the joysticks. And you're literally playing a fucking video game at that point. Like you're just, you can look on your phone in front of your face. You have the view that the drone has. So you can look at the drone or you can look at the phone. It's awesome. Regulations-wise, people ask me.

I don't know what the fuck the regulations are. I have no clue. I just fly it. That's just what I do. And like when I'm playing, when I go out and play like Pethpage, I get to like a 16th hole and the group behind us maybe like half a hole behind. So I've got an extra like two or three minutes. Boom.

Activate the drone or even activate it while other people are T-N-off. Fly it up into the sky. and then after I hit my T-shot, walking down to the second shot, I just fly the drone as I'm walking, get cool shots, meets me on the fairway. Like, the thing is fucking awesome. It's crazy, easy. Another question, people are like, does it slow up for you to film golf shots and stuff like that? The drone is so stable.

It just stabilizes on its own. So if you have the drone flying up in the air and then you have to hit a golf shot, you just set the controller down, it just stays perfectly in place in the sky, doing, like, whatever. And then there's also all kinds of smart controls you can do where, like, it's got pre-programmed shots that it takes. So it'll, like, fly around in a circle around you and get, like, a 360 shot and all that. That's unreal. That's way more advanced than all that.

But you can do it. You can also, you can have it put on a mode where it recognizes you and follows you. Well, that's just scary. Yeah. But, I mean, for a drone shot on the golf course, right? So, like, you could get it, like, let's say I want to get a sick artsy shot of, like, our group walking down the fairway at, like, Cabot Cliffs on the 17th hole. I can have it recognize us fly like 50 yards behind us and just follow us up the fairway. It's unreal.

It's awesome. And the crazy thing about that one, I have a DJI like Phantom. It's a real heavy fuckers. It's like one of the pro big ones. So when I was seeing all these videos you're putting out, I'm like, well, how the fuck does he care? Because it looks as the quality is like some of the ones that I have, you know, with this really big, super expensive one that I got like a couple years ago because I fucking love droning. It's awesome. It is awesome.

So much fun. But mine, I could never take on the golf course I'm like, I was thinking that you had the one that I had, I'm like, are you like carrying around a backpack golfing? The phantom one's like a fucking helicopter. I mean, it's like 35 pounds. It's crazy.

So I was like, what the fuck is he doing on the golf course with that? And then I saw you in the office one day just like fidgeting around with it because I haven't been on the golf course with you when you've had it yet. It's the size of a Game Boy. Yeah, I've seen it. And it's like, it makes minimal noise. It doesn't really make any noise. It's like, I would say it's almost, it might be the same size or smaller than an iPad.

Yeah, that is like the drone It's definitely not as wide as an iPad It's right You know, one would think that it's too like Light right And like when you're at a place like the cliffs or something It would just get with Trust me I get nervous

When I fly it But it works When Hegs and I fly it over the fucking ocean Of the cliffs and it's like 30 mile an hour winds I get nervous Yeah That it's my buddy's just out there And like if it just gets

It's gone Gone but like So far it's been great And I do get It gives you a couple warnings Like high wind velocity Yeah Careful and I just hit

X. Right. Because if you think about it, if the wind is faster than its highest speed, it's gone. It's gone. It's gone. Right. It quite literally cannot come back. Gone.

Yeah. And my, yeah. I've gotten in that trouble once. I was at the beach. I fucking flew this thing. And mine can go into like space. It's crazy. It's crazy.

Mine can go so, my, my, my can go like, I mean, I'm bad. Oh, by the way, I, I shouted out for play at DC on the radio because we were talking. Let's go. All Business Beat jumped up onto the stage. And it was a pretty high. jump. All business people was in a fucking rare form. It was hilarious. He was getting drenched on. He was sweating. He was like all over the

place. And then he needed to move a camera while was raining, so he just jumped onto the stage. Like a huge concert high stage. Just jumped on it. Like a frog jump? Yes. Like just like, boom. And we were like, whoa! I was like, Pete, that was like seven feet. And then everyone just stopped. And like, I mean, that's, like, do you think that the wall is taller than him? I was like, oh, fuck.

And I said, when we were talking down stairs, I am not good at blurting. If I have a time to think, I'm always just on there. If I blurt out a number, it's way off. Like when we were in the office downstairs and we were talking about, what were we talking about? That's high to the ceilings. Yeah, but for some reason we brought it up.

Oh, yeah. I'm like, oh, that's about like 40 feet, right? And we went a couple of sentences later and you're just stopped the conversation. I was like, Frankie, do you understand that 40 feet is four stories? We are in one story right now. That's like a holiday inn. And you're talking four story. It's a fucking skyscraper.

Right. So I'm going to say a number right now. I think, I actually don't even know if I should do this. I think that my DJ, I can go do it 10,000 feet in the air? Is that there's no way wrong? No fucking way. It's impossible. So a commercial jetliner flies at like 30,000 feet.

You tell me it's a third of the height of a fucking commercial jetliner. That can't be right. 10,000? There is just no chance. It's impossible. I would say maybe like a thousand. No. No, yeah, it can't be.

Because it's not going like miles. That's what is that? That's two miles. Two miles is, you're talking? almost two miles. It doesn't go two miles into the sky. No. How high can you go?

Do you know? It can go. I've gotten it up to like three or four hundred feet, I think. I think it tops off at like 400. Yeah. God, I've got it up again, man. I'm not even close.

Never forget that you said 10,000 feet. 10,000 feet. Isn't that what you like, don't you skydive at 10,000 feet? Yeah, you do. Yeah. So you're telling me your drone is up there, like, dodging people that are skydiving?

The problem is. The problem is that I've gotten it's so high to the point where I was just like, well, that's gone. Like, I'll never get that back. And we recovered it. We've recovered it. And I've gotten like the bend of the earth in the...

Oh, no way. Yeah, you can actually see the curvature. That's pretty awesome. Yeah. So that's pretty fucking high. It goes fucking high. I mean, this is like a $1,200 fucking dollar thing. Like $1,400 thing.

Yeah, no, the phantom is supposed to be pretty badass machine. I mean, I'm going to look up with the high. Don't you also, don't you have to, like, throw it in the air to launch it? No, mine kind of just lifts off like a... Okay. I know some of them are like a whole intense deal to launch it. Whereas the spark, I literally can just set it on time. I can just hold it and just launch it like it's a fucking a bird that I'm setting free.

So the, we have breaking news. Breaking news. The Phantom 4 can fly up to 19,000 feet in the air. But regulations limit you to 1,600. 19,000 feet? Dude, I'm telling you, are you fucking? Dude, watch these videos online and people are just insane. space. Like, you can just, I can go

like, do, just be like an astronaut for a day if I want to and just, like, fly up. You'll never get it back, ever. Drones are amazing. 19,000 feet. Yeah. Yeah, you're like, you and American Airlines are up there competing for airspace. Well, that's where it starts to get really scary because you can, like, attach something to this fucking thing. I can, like, you know what I mean? And, like, I just fly this thing up into the sky and just do whatever.

Do whatever. Do whatever. When the drones come into, like, public consumption? Like, public consumption where, like, we could use drugs. Yeah, that motherfucker, Bezos. But when was that? Because it seems like it just happened and we're all ready to the point where, like, we can fly yours like it's a video game. Because I just started seeing, I feel like a year ago, I just started seeing, like, other golf outlets started just like droning courses. Yeah. And then I was like, I wonder if I can just do that.

And then I just got on Amazon and, like, a week later, I was just droning golf courses. The first I heard about drones was when Fox took over for the U.S. Open and they were going to use drones for their coverage. And that was like, what, two, three years ago? That was the first time I heard of- Chambers Bay, 2015. Yes, yes. So drones Drones are sweet The GGI Spark is $400

That's all it cost You get a couple extra batteries The battery life's like maybe 15 or 20 minutes in reality Not that long I've got three of them So I can fucking drone all day But anyways

I know you guys get into them with all your buddies in the 19th hole. You have a couple beers. A couple transfusions? Transfusions have been taking over the internet. By the way, this is honestly the best thing that we've ever done with this podcast. When I tell you how many transfusions I've gotten, so we had Pop Punk and we had a bunch of stooleys in the bar after it, I must have drank like three transfusions that night. Then we went straight to D.C.

And, like, there was a bunch of stoolishers outside of the All-Star game. I drank, like, 10 transfusions all weekend. There was buying your transfusions? They're like, trannies again. Like, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. I'm like, holy shit. I mean, they just taste so good. They're so delicious.

By the way, Frank, you're congrats on Pump. I don't know if we've had you on since. Oh, thank you. Oh, yeah. That was awesome. Hell of a night. You're a rock star. It was something that, like, can't even be explained at how cool it was.

I mean, it was. You just don't get that experience ever to be a fucking, to be on a stage. You were a legitimate rock star. Which feels awesome. I used to be the drummer on in rock band as well. Nothing close to what Frankie did. To be just like a drummer that just drums in his house and shit and like that played in high school and like to be able to just get on stage. That's what Barstle does though.

I mean, Barstle just puts these fucking fantasy worlds and puts them into real life. It's crazy. We do it with fucking rough and ratty. Yes. It's like who gets that feeling of walking into a ring with like pay-per-view and like the spotlight on you and like you can knock someone out and fucking win money and like raise your hand. And then who can fucking step on a stage and put on a concert for like, 1,400 people going fucking nuts.

The best part of Pup Punk was the crowd. The crowd was awesome. The crowd was awesome. Everybody was so into it. The whole company was like hugging. It was like nuts. That was an emotional like afterwards. When people were,

when you guys were done, it was like, holy shit, this was awesome. It was like, we just put on a rock concert. Yeah. Like, with our internal talent. Like, Frankie, you're sick on the drums. Thank you. Like, you're awesome.

How awesome was it? You opened the show, essentially. You were the first one to walk out and you started the drum part to Thundersruck. And it was, how was that? It was a coolest moment ever. I went way too fast because my heart was just beating. Like, I think I was playing to the beat of my heart, which was like 185

miles now. You guys crushed it. It was an unbelievable. Hopefully more to come because, I mean, there better be more to come. The people need it. Yeah, and the people that, like, put it on were very happy, so. Good. You guys are electric. That night was crazy. Yeah. Holy shit. I was so drunk that night. Yeah. I remember

we were pounding transfusions at the, yeah, at sidebar. Oh, my God. That's a great movement we got going. If you see us, give us a transfusion. Because I like it. A lot of people, too, I'm getting some a few people are very confused because and I know why because the transfusion you've either never heard of it before or you're scrolling through our timelines and you're like how the fuck are so many people stunned and just now learning about transfusion? Yeah.

And the difference is this. The transfusion is a country club drink. Okay. And it's not at every country club. So if you've been, if you grew up at a country club like in New England, a lot of New England country clubs, you've. been like watching your dad probably drink transfusions and you've just grown up with the transfusion that's just what you get at the turn blah blah if you're not a country club guy or you grew up at a

different country club you're like a public track guy like all all three of us are that never belong to a country club you've never fucking heard of this drink in your entire life and now all of a sudden you've got guys on the golf podcast talking about it you've got guys tweeting about it nonstop it's this beautiful color it's like this stunningly beautiful color looks like a diamond I mean the transfusion is the color of like a very expensive emerald diamond it's a light purple sometimes. It's unbelievable. It's a great color.

It's a little like a riptide rush gatorade a little bit. Yes. If the sun hits it just right, it turns a different color too. Yep. Yes. And so you're scrolling through like, what planet have I been on that I'm missing this amazing diamond drink? It's always been there.

You just may not have known the name. Yes. So the transfusion, it's a movement. People are buzzing that. I'm trying to explain the confusion between the two different sides. There's extreme sides of like, that's been my whole life or like, what is happening? This can't be real. So the transfusion.

again, it's double vodka, it's ginger ale, and it's just a splash, maybe two splashes. What is happening? Of grape juice. Tiger Woods has delofted his two iron for the stinger at Carnusty. Transfusion is a popular drink, and Tiger has de lofted his two. Everyone's just sprinting into coverage. Like it's a tornado siren and like a big town that comes over the last week. What the fuck is that?

Talk about something people know about or don't know about tornado sirens. I blogged about that in the day. You know obviously about it. You're from the Midwest. People were like, what are tornado sirens? Every Monday, the first Monday of every month. Ours was the first Wednesday of every month. I heard my first one ever on the college tour.

We're in Youngstown, Ohio, which is actually the place of the next Rough and Rowdy. Gay Pats, Pride versus Prejudice. Yep. Gay Pat's fighting a gay, gay hater. Yeah, he is. He's a bigot. He's an ex-con, bigot. He's a fucking psychopath.

Who came up with Pride versus Prejudice? I don't know, but it's the best fight name I've ever heard of my life. Pride versus Prejudice. Ever. Gay Pat says he's going to beat the shit of him and then give him a nice big old kiss on the lips. It's gonna fucking piss that guy I'm so team gay bad We were in Youngstown Ohio

Which is a crazy awesome town And a fucking siren just went up Mid-Pisa review and we're like What the fuck's going on? Like it gets fucking Wow If you don't know what it is And we've grown up with it

So we know what it is and what to expect That has got to be very very scary I screamed like The Russians are coming Like I screamed that No it's very similar to the Hawaii The nuke scare that It's the same sound

Oh yeah I remember Yeah People were running in the sewer And then the one guy was just golfing That one dad was like Well this is the last thing I do That was his text, right? Yeah.

This is the last thing I do. He took a video of himself walking on the fairways. I'm on the golf course. This is a great place. The sirens are going on. My last hole. Legit. People are legitimately diving into sewer holes because of that.

That's the same tiger stinger. People will be diving into sewer holes. Like, oh, shit, the stinger's coming. Watch out. All right. From the gallery. Matt asks a very interesting question. He says, is it a loser move to make the master's theme song my ringtone?

No, I don't think so. I think it definitely gets a reaction every time. someone hears it. I think most of the time people all laughing back. That's awesome. Like, that's unreal. But I think some people may think it's like a hard-o move. I mean, at some point, if you keep replaying, I mean, how often is it going to be ringing? That's a huge question. That's what I was going to say. It's not a loser move, but you do run the risk of ruining the master's theme song for yourself. Because I did this with, it's sort of similar when you make a song your alarm in the morning. I did that with Kanye West Waves, and I ruin that song for me.

So if you have the master's theme song as your ringtone, nobody likes getting phone calls nowadays. That's a terrifying feeling when your phone rings. I don't think I want that to be like that. And as a wake-up call, that's a real mental fuck-up because waking up's the worst thing in the world. Right. So it's to a lesser degree with the ringtone itself. But like, you just, I don't want to run. I don't want to oversaturate my master's theme song.

I want that to be once a year when it comes, it's special. I don't think I'd want that as my cell phone. So I will say that, I think that with the alarm move, putting something like that, you're trying to make waking up less shitty. But it's still going to be shitty. So then your brain, you're right, is going to start to orient. itself to like the master's theme song is actually a bad thing yeah like i don't want i don't want to hear that master's theme song right now i just want to keep sleeping right um right because master's theme song means wake up yes and that's bad so fuck that when i hear waves by kane west i get i get

yeah um i want to say so i think you guys points are very good i want to say that i was at when i was at willow bend in on the cape a couple weeks ago there was this old man who was like the most stereotypical, like, old man, country club, retired golfer in the world. He had, like, his own fucking cart, and he's sitting in there, and he's, like, by the range, and he's got, like, a ridiculous outfit, like a huge bucket, like, Sun Hat on and all that, and his phone rings, and it's the master's ringtone. And he picks it up, and he's talking to a guy for a couple minutes, puts it down, like, five, six minutes later, his phone rings again, master's ringtone.

So. I mean, that's, that just fits that guy, though. That's what I mean. It fit the guy where I almost took a video. I was like, this guy is perfect. Like, this guy, he has to have it as the master's ringtone. Whereas if you're Matt here, if you're like a normal young dude, I don't know. Right.

Like, that I actually agree with. If you're older, you can do that. Like, my dad gets two phone calls a year. Yes. So when his phone rings, if it's the master's theme song, like, that's fine. If you're a younger person who might get more phone calls, you can't do it. There is something about just getting stunned by the master's theme song when it's master's time. Like, you just have, like, the TV on and it just hits you.

And like, holy shit. And they start the commercials during like the NFL playoffs. Yes. When they start those commercials, you're like, holy fuck, was that the Masters game song? What was that? Like you're in the bathroom and your TV's on your room and you're like, what? Am I going crazy? Was that Nance?

Is that Nance on the TV? Yeah, you're right. And this guy, too, this guy that I saw, he was dead serious about the ringtone. It wasn't like ironic. Whereas I feel like Matt here might be, there's a little bit of iron. That guy needs, I mean, Augusta's that guy's favorite place on earth. He thinks about it all the time. Totally.

Right. Matt is doing it so other people hear it. That old guy is doing it so he can hear it. Yeah, right. And he's like, God, that's awesome. He just like probably lets it ring and stuff. Yeah. Which, again, I love and respect, but I don't know if you're that guy.

Frankie, this guy Frankie, emailed us in. He said, so you're standing on the 17th T at Sawgrass, TBC Sawgrass, the Island Green. You have 100 balls. Could you get a hole-on-one before running out of balls? And he says, important to note, if you hit 70 on the green, you get to go up and get the 70 balls and have them back and keep hitting until you run out a ball. So if you hit all 70 of those on the green, like you get 140 more shot, you keep going until you either get a hole in one or you run out of golf balls that you're able to retrieve

if they're not in the water. I think the answer is easy. It's a no. It's a no. I mean, I hit a million golf balls in my life. I've never even come close. But I think that there's an interesting wrinkle where it's like it's not just a hundred balls flat.

It's these balls. All right. So it turns into what? Maybe. 300? What's the max? 400? Yeah.

If I told you, I give you 400 shots on TPC are. Now, are you putting it in? No. But here's the caveat, right, is that, in theory, right, like, if it's that front pin where you get to roll it off the slope and you hone in on a club, you're going to scare it a couple times. Whereas, like, if you just give me, right, if you give me, like, 400, oh, you've played 400 par 3s in your life, rigs.

Like, you've never come close to 1. That's different because every shot's completely unique and, like, whatever. Whereas if you really start to hone in, right, like, you get to your, like, 100th swing and you're, I mean, you're going to be pretty fucking close, a good amount of times, I feel like. So I'm not saying that it's, I still think you probably don't do it, but I do think it's a good mental exercise because of that caveat of like, no, no, you're going to be hitting, like, it's a fucking wedge. It's like one-thirty. Yeah. You're going to be hitting a wedge that are like pretty damn close to the golf hole. That's true.

I mean, you definitely, yeah, I guess taking the same shot over and over and over. We learned that with Dave at Chinatacogne. Right. That's another thing that's been in my brain. It's like, at some point you just hit a good shot. But in the end, it's a good shot, but you can hit a good shot 100 times. It doesn't mean it goes in because it's at some point. It's so hard to get a one-one. Yeah.

Jim, Jim asks, how early is too early to get to a bucket list course that you're playing? There's nobody better to answer this question than you right now. He's like, I.E., like Riggs, you were at like Oakmont. Let's say you have like a 1 PMT time. And he's like, is it too aggressive to get there at like 7 a.m.? Yes. I think it's probably, because it's like rude to your guess, probably. Yeah.

But also, like, I don't think there's any problem with stretching it out, right? Let's put it this way. Like, let's say you're playing Augusta National. You have, like, it's finally worked out, whatever. Family, friends, somebody invited you down. You know you're playing. You have, like, a 2 p.m. tea time. And there's, like, what reason would you have to not get there at, like, 7 a.m.

And be on the range, be on the putting green, walk around. Augusta is probably my own. I mean, Augusta and, like, maybe a couple of. other places are my only reason for doing that. If I'm just meeting a buddy... So he's saying that this is a bucket-lick court... He's saying this is like... Right.

This is on the level of like an Oakmont, a Wingfoot. Pebble Beach. A Pebble Beach. All right. So those I would get there early. Even Pebble, I would say not. I wouldn't consider that because like that's not like a private club. Right. Whereas like the private club, you soak everything.

Like you're a member for the day. Right? As a guest, you're a member for a day. Yes. So it's like you want to do the range. You want to go into the fucking locker room and like look at the napkins and like their their fucking logo everywhere. Like, whatever.

Yeah. That part of it, I think that you can't get there early enough. I think that you spend the whole day there. I mean, you're like a make-a-wish person. It's like, I'm here to fucking, this is my one time, my whole entire life I get to do this. And I would imagine that these places, maybe they don't. You're going to be able to answer this. They are probably expecting, this is making this person's, like, life to be there.

So they're probably like, all right, these people are probably going to get here pretty early. Yeah. Yes. So I would say, like, a couple hours, it's pretty much like when we did Oakmont, you know, and like, even the guys, shout out to Tommy and Jack. who invited us down. They just kept saying during the round, they were like, it's so cool watching you guys

and how much you're loving this. Which is true, because, like, who the fuck gets to play Oakmont? And then you're there playing it. And you're like, I'm going to be telling my brother about this round forever.

I'm going to be telling, like, I'm going to call my dad tonight and tell them about every shot. You know what I mean? Like, that's, and you know that going in. So, like, you want to get there as early as possible,

but you also, I think, like, it's tough to beat your, your host there. It's like, you don't want to be there earlier than they are, but you also, you know, like, they play the course every day, so they don't want to be there more than, like, an hour early.

Yeah. Like, what are they going to do? It's going to walk around, like, clowns at their own course? Exactly. But, like, you want to be there. Like, we wanted to get to come out to three hours early. Like, I just want to putt. I'll just stand in the green and putt for two hours.

Right. And there probably is an aspect to the members, like, wanting to show off their club, too. I mean, I think that they would get there a little bit early. Yeah. Be like, I'll show the guys around. Like, I'll show them how fucking awesome this place I belong to is. And that's what they did at Oakmont. They were like, let's leave the city at like 10.45.

Yeah. And we'll get there around 11, 11, 15. We'll have like two hours, which two hours is a long time. Because you realize, too, you think like, no, I'll do a nice long range session. You realize that like 15 minutes on the range is a really long time. Oh, yeah. Like, you've hit a ton of shots in 15 minutes. And then you're supposed to take even longer on the putting green, but, I mean, 15 minutes on putting green feels like fucking eternity.

Like, how many butts can you hit? You're just butt. After 15 puts, I'm like, what the fuck? You know what I talked to over the last? the last week, I talked to my girlfriend's uncle, who's a pretty good golfer, and he plays in, like, a men's league over out east. And they play all these great golf courses and shit. And he said that the one thing he wanted to work on is putting, and he has this new putting

routine that he says is really fucking him up because it seems so easy, but is it so impossible. So basically, you put, you put, you have three different distances. I'm sure you've heard of this. He says it's like a pretty... Oh, yeah. You have three different distances, and you put... You put three balls from each distance. So one's like five feet, another one's eight feet,

and the other one's ten feet. And you have to hit all nine putts in, and if you miss one, you start from the beginning. Yeah. And you can't leave that putting green until you do it. And he's like, Frankie, you would think that, like, after a while, you're just, like, you're reading these putts, and they're just going to go in,

and you get to the eighth one, and you can't imagine how nervous you are standing over that ball because you're like, I have two more to go. And then it lips in. Then you're on the ninth and you're like, what the fuck? I need to make this putt. But you're just practicing.

So it is really good practice on hitting these like five foot, these seven foot putts. That are must makes. Must makes. And he says I've been putting like lights out when I go out there because I feel like I've done this before. Like on a Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at the putting green, I'm nailing like pressure putts from eight feet out that I need to hit, which there's just no way to, like that's the close to you get to simulating it. Right.

Because the only time the pressure really starts to kick to kick. is when you've been out there for a half an hour and you're like, I gotta get the fuck out of here. Yes. Like I need to go. Yeah. I can't sit here all the fucking day. The wife starts calling, like the kids start calling.

Like, I actually, I'm doing the putting thing. I can't make the eighth putt. I just can't. Like, I actually have to go. Right. But I can't. I want to be home for dinner. I can't make the eighth putt.

I don't know why you want me to do it. Yeah. So that's something I'm actually going to start doing because I don't practice putting at all. And I, because I find it to be boring sometimes when I'm just putting aimlessly. And I've never really given myself like a game or like a scenario. or like a scenario or situation. It's so fun being nervous on the golf course. Lurch and I, on the way, on the way,

we talked like last show, it's like a seven-hour drive, which is very far. We stopped at this place, the architects on the way, which we got from Supreme Golf. Shout out from Supreme Golf. com slash bars tool. Go download the app. They're the best.

If you're booking any tea time, you've got to use Supreme Golf. They've got every tea time you've ever heard of plus a million more. They're just better than everybody else. So don't be dumb. Use Spring Golf. We use Spring Golf to book the Architects with $49. It's $49.

is awesome. Shout out to the architects. Really awesome golf course. Great name. Great name. Great name. Forty-nine bucks. Do they just have like, they just have like statues of a couple of architects? Like, I'm picturing the clubhouse with blueprints all over the wall. Yeah. Or just like, like, like, or the greens are blue prints. There we go. That would be fucking awesome. There's like a marshal on each tea and he's dressed as like an architect. Yeah. It's famous. He's a role playing. A famous architect. Or how about this one? Every tea box instead of like the little yardage things at each T-box it's a statue of an architect with a blueprint

and he's holding it out and on the blueprint is the golf hole that you're about to play. I can't tell you how much I love that. How fucking awesome is that? Architects, if you're listening, if you don't have a famous architect or the person who is the architect of that golf course looking out at the hole that you're about to play

and the blueprint is the yardage is, the curvature is the green, if they don't do that. If you don't do that, well, God damn. What are you doing? So now you can go on and talk about how good it is because I think it sucks. So we're at the architect. And we had stopped on the way home from Pittsburgh to play this golf course on Sunday evening. And we still had like two more hours to drive through traffic back home. So we did, loser has to drive home.

Brutal. Which is brutal. Like we're exhausted, tired, hot. How many hours? It's like another two hours or something. No one wants to do that. No. And like the other.

And we also said the past. messenger can fall asleep if he wants. So, like, the driver, you're just fucked. You're a loser. And we're all square on the 16th. And Lurch, he makes bogey. And I have, like, a, I have, like, a 20-foot par putt, and I blow it, like, nine feet by.

And I'm standing over the putt, and I'm like, it's dead straight up the hill. I know exactly what it is. And I was, like, shaking over the putt. And you're just thinking, like, there's no way to, like, I have a nine-foot putting mat in my apartment. That's a dead straight put that I can make, like, 30. a row. So I'm standing and thinking like, you do this all time. I'm staying here with pot. My hands are like shaking.

I'm like, how do you practice this shit? Yeah. And that's the best way to do it. You got to do those little games. Yeah. Where you, like, you just have to try to simulate the pressure because there's nothing like it when you're standing on the golfers. There's a new, that's a new... Lurch and I, like, weren't even talking to each other for last three of four. It was so intense. So you drove home? I won. Oh, nice. I, uh, poor Lurch. He had a couple of bad puds down the stretch. And then on

18, um, he, 18 was like this really tricky, uh, par four, similar to 18 at Bethpage. Nice. With like all bunkering and like if you hit driver, you bring in the bunkers into play. And I hit it in between the bunkers on the left. Lurch trying to do this crazy like strategy iron off the T. Didn't hit it great. Had like a five iron in.

Ended up. He had like a 12 footer for par to have the match and missed it. Oh, man. He was like cursing himself for a whole ride home. I can't fucking believe I lost that match. But anyways, being nervous on the golf course is awesome. Aaron asks, okay, he said, so I'm playing a private members only club for the first time. He's like, I'm a public course golfer, you know, that kind of guy, common man golfer,

never been to a private club in his life, also taking a caddy for the first time. So he's like, what are the do's and don'ts, the etiquette advice, any other like anecdotes or whatever I need to know because I'm like a fish out of water going to this place. Well, this is an exciting time in his life. I know for me, the first time ever playing on the other side when I was caddying, I always had all these things that I wanted to do, and then when I finally got on the other side of it, I was able to do them. It felt great.

And some of these things were, I always noticed that the, the members loved to go into the bathroom, wash their hands, and then take these awesome napkins and wipe their hands dry with them. And often people would put them in their back pocket.

And they're like these cloths. They're like very thick. Yeah, but they're these very thick napkins that have the logo on them. And all these members at the Garden City Men's Club and at Rockville Lanks where I used to caddy would just put them in their back pocket and they'd like float out.

It's almost like they have their own personal handkerchief and they'd use them throughout the round and they'd pat. I just thought that was such a cool little thing. The napkin was great. The other thing, and I've talked about this before, is the little box of goodies

that they give you in the pro shop or at the first tea. You open it up. It's usually like a fucking crate or like a barrel or a nice old wooden box made out of like mahogany and you just like, open it up and it's got the fucking

it's got the tees it has pencils and it has the ball markers in them and I just like I just dive into those I just I just take a dive into those I take everything take everything yeah I wrote I wrote the napkins down as well really yes I wrote the napkins down and I also wrote that when you go into the locker room it's a good move like especially if you bring a shoe bag in

grab a stack of those napkins and put them in your bag and take them home to your apartment just steal them I mean that's theft is literally what it is. That's not. It's a good movie. But you just steal them. You steal like 10 napkins from, I have like 10 wing foot napkins.

I have like 10 Marion napkins. Now you sit in my apartment. We never use them. Never. They're just there. Think about just like have it. What about what one day if you just having like Taco Bell or like some takeout food and you just like wipe your mouth upon those napkins?

It probably feels great. It's you're just, it's a better wipe than any other wife. It's awesome. Yeah. A shoehorn. I stole one from, uh, I stole one from Glenn Oaks. Yeah. So you got to steal those.

Sorry. I mean, I know these clubs are probably listening and all that. I was going to say, this is a heads up. This is a good tip, though. What you're learning at you know is just steal everything. I accidentally, wink, wink did it. It's like, I put it on. It felt great.

And as we were getting ready, like, I put my shoes that I wore to the thing in the bag and then just threw the shoehorn in there because I wasn't thinking. It's a great move. It's a great move. I kind of was thinking. There's nothing bad. I don't even need a shoehorn for any of my sneakers or any of that, obviously. But, like, every morning, I use a wing foot shoehorn to just put my sneakers on because it's just awesome.

You're just putting on. like Jordans and like Shulnerner's in there The other thing Bring a magazine Into the shitter Because no private club Stalls have service

On your phone Oh You just don't get service in there I don't know what the deal is It's like they built them In fucking concrete bunkers But for whatever reason It's just

And people out there Are gonna know what I'm talking about Private clubs Like 90% of them You go in You sit down and take a shit I have to eat Like a little breakfast or something

And you just don't get There's just no service The bathrooms are so pristine and so, like, well-made, right? Because you go into a huge bathroom, a huge locker, and each shitter has its own, like, concrete wall around it and a door. At least that's what I've noticed. It is like Bayonne and... It's like your own personal private bathroom.

It feels great. But the problem is you don't get any service in there. Speaking of shitters, we had a fucking porta-potty this week in D.C. And I don't know if you guys saw any pictures or, like, Snapchat, that we were taking of... I mean, I don't know if I saved it. I mean, this port-a-potty had a TV in it. The porta-potty had a... Come on.

It was all in personal Port-a-Porto party. It was brown wood inside. It had fucking marble around the sink. And it had a TV just like playing like things on the TV. Come on. And it was air-conditioned. And it was air-conditioned. So it was 115 degrees in D.C.

And everyone was just running into this bathroom. And like people were taking a half an hour in there. Pete. Oh, this is Pete? So he set up his laptop in there and just worked in there for a half an hour. In the shitter. In the shitter. It was a good move.

I respect that move. I love that. It was a pristine potty. That's what we were calling it. That is awesome. Advice for taking a caddy for the first time is keep an extra ball in your pocket. I say this because your caddy a lot of times, they'll run ahead. And you don't know that they're going to run ahead beforehand.

And you'll stand on the tee, and you might hit one like OB or into some fescue, and they'll be like, oh, you need to hit another one. You got to make sure you have another golf ball on you. So people always rag on me because a lot of my pictures online. Like, old rigs has a ball in his pocket. Well, what a fucking loser. or I'm like, no, it's just smart. Yeah.

Because you'll get fucked. Your caddy will run. It'll be 200 yards up in the middle of fairway, and you won't have another golf ball. So you got to do that. Point which direction your ball is missing the fairway. So if you, like, yank one left or blast one, right? Point. Because caddies will miss it.

Yep. And you sometimes, like when they... Well, not all caddies. Frankie Caddy. And everybody has the catty eyes of Frankie. Yep. But your caddy, they'll never tell you that they missed it because it looks bad for them. But sometimes they'll just miss it off the face.

And if you point, they can at least. like listen to here for it. Yeah. That's huge. Another little trick is after you hit a shot, grab the club that you think you'll need for the next shot. Just guess if you're not 100% sure because they all double loop and they'll have to run over and tend to the other guy.

So if you miss a green, just grab your 60 really quickly before he scurries over to the other guy because you don't want to walk all the way up to the green and then have to stand there like a schmuck for like five minutes while he helps the other guy and then he doesn't get over to your bag in time and it just waste time. just grab a club yeah that feels like it's probably 60 you just grab the 60 and if it's not the right club you not wasting anybody's time because he would have had to run over to you anyways yeah right grab a club um and those those that's my advice so and then another one for me would be um this is more of just an experience thing after you hit the ball let's say you're you're last up on the tea

take advantage of that nice little walk that you always watch the pros do walk with the golf club talk with the people in your group don't really pay attention to the caddy and then just just like just lift the club out and just have them just take it it's a great feeling yeah you're right i always the club to i love that because i feel like i'm fucking tiger woods walking up 18 at august i hit the ball i stare out i'm like ha ha you know and i'm not even saying words i'm just laughing talking and as i'm doing that i'm looking to the left i just float my club out to the right and then it just leaves my hand and in any of the time you play golf and you try and do that the club just hits the ground you have to go pick it up put it in your bag and get like a golf card but in this time i don't even look to the right

I don't even know where my club is. I know it's in good hands, but I know I'm not holding it anymore. Wow. And I feel great and my shoulders are free and I'm walking. The ground feels good. Everything feels good when you have a caddy in the crunch club. What I love too about caddies, and I've cleared out of a big 180 on caddies lately. Yeah.

Huge caddy guy now. Oh, well, I just had some great guys. Was Cabot was a huge turning point for you because you guys hung out with them? Yeah, I think I was already on my way. A cabbit, but Cabot was. You realize they're like human beings. It pushed me over the top. Yeah.

They were just awesome. Correct. Oh, Caddies are. Caddies are like humans with like personalities and personalities. Like they go home and like cry and they hang out. They have children and like family. That was a huge moment. So shout out to Dylan and Rylond, who are our two big guys from Cabot.

Who was the other one? Kevin and Buck. Bucko, yep. Bucko. We're our four loopers. But anyways, I will say that caddies know that walking to the green with just your putter in your hands. is the coolest feeling in golf. Amazing.

So they will, they'll, like, hand it to you. So make sure, be on them. Be like, if you hit the green regulation, grab that putter so that you can do, like, the 150-yard walk, just up to the green with your putter. You're, like, spinning it in circles. You're using it as a cane a couple times. You're just casual.

Like, I'm all the green. Like, oh, well, you guys are fucking puttsing around, doing shit in the bunkers. People are raking sand. Yep. I'm just walking down the middle of the road. Another great thing. You don't have to rake the sand.

Nope. Hit the sand shot. Walk out. Smack your feet. a couple times. Got to do that. And then leave your club, like, on the bag and work on that, like, little toss, right? You put the club face on the ground and then, like, toss the grip onto the bag.

Because the grip will grab the bag. Yes. And it leans so that you're not disrespect to your caddy by throwing it on the ground. You're leaning it on your bag. But definitely that's a hit against the cleats to take the sand out as a pro-fucking. Pro move. I usually do two clicks on each foot. Yeah.

And I don't use the spikes. I use the turf shoe, and I know nothing's stuck to my feet, but I still do it anyway. Got to do it. You kidding me? That's one of my favorites is Tiger when he hits a bunker shot, and he clips one perfectly. He doesn't even watch it. He just walks backwards. Yeah.

Does a couple clicks on each foot and then just leans it onto his back, grabs his putter while Joey, like, gets in there and is, like, raking the bunk. It's the coolest. Tiger also does after the, when he's going from green to tea, he'll do the putter on the bag while Joey puts it in the pin in the hole. Right. The tiger just has gone on the next tee already. with his book out and he's like reading the next. He's gone. Yeah, he's gone.

Yeah, I think that's about it for me. That's a whole experience. So, yeah, this guy, Aaron, you're going to have an awesome time. Oh, yeah. It's the coolest thing in the world. Last one, I just want to say, I just want to talk about this is a very cool thing. I like when people do this type of stuff. We had Maddie from Long Island.

He said he's got six buddies, the crew of them that are like, it's their golf crew. They play like every weekend, maybe every other weekend. He said they all put 50 bucks in every year for a hole in one pot. first guy to get one wins the pot. Nobody's got one yet. He said, but they have a deal of nobody gets one in 10 years. They take all the money that's in the pot, and they go do an awesome golf trip. It's an amazing, amazing thing.

It's a great idea. Love when people. Do they have to play together, you think? No, I think it's just if anybody gets one. They typically do play together, but it would be tough if you're like, I got one with, like, we usually play with Jim and Joe, but I got one with like Kevin. Kevin. Like, when I work, my co-workers and shit. They'd be like, you're out.

Like, no, that'd be tough. Yeah, that would suck. I feel like I'd have to make. a pack it has to be with us but then you're like yeah then you're you're really narrowing yeah you're limiting your chances by you are that might be that might be part of it i don't know that's a good question yeah um threw it right back to you there mattie no i like it i think it's great um i i would like immediately want to text my friends right now and say that's right me too yeah so anybody out there send us um for play at barsualsports dot com send us stuff like that so we can

share it because people love having cool little games with their buddies and all that um british open carnoosty oh here's one question that was me and asked someone asked me over the weekend. If you're playing in a match and you're in a golf cart and you're taking golf carts and you're playing a match, do you sit with your partner?

Do you sit with your opponent? Partner. Yeah? Yeah, you're having a two-on-two match? Yeah. Yeah, I sit with my partner. Okay. Yeah, because you like strategize

and like fist pump. Is that, is there like a, you think that there's a standard? Yeah. It's always partner. Yeah, you call it your partner. Love that. There you go.

All right. Yeah. It's like, let's do it, Carter. Yeah. I always thought that you like, Like you would go one and one. That's not unheard of. You know, keep an eye on each other.

Yeah, that's not unheard of. But I just think the cartner thing's awesome. You go to the ball together. You're standing there next to it. So, right? So every time that you hit a shot, your buddy's there with you. And then you drive over to his ball and you kind of like, you're basically each other's catty at that point, which is great. That's the move.

Yeah. So you got to ride with your partner. Cool. British Open. Carnusti. Enjoy. This is going to be an awesome week. Apparently, I mean, Tigers, we got the loud.

speaker, tiger, two iron. De Loft. The course is like a Zach Johnson lost golf course. It's the Hunger Games. It's the Hunger Games in Scotland. It's going to be great. We'll be back next Tuesday. Hit it hard.

Hit it hard.
