We are going to hear about a lot of different things, including Lurch's recent trip to Scotland. The reason I bring that up, he booked a bunch of his tea times over there with Supreme Golf. Exactly who you should be booking your tea times with this fall. You should be playing fall golf left and right. Fall foliage.

We mentioned that a little bit because it's very exciting. SupremeGolf.com slash barstool. go check it out go download their app go to their website springgolf.com slash barstool spring golf they're the best you're dumb if you don't use them let's talk some golf big show big show big weeks big boys kind of a shot at lurch big show big lurch big me yeah big show nice to be back honestly how i was pretty excited to get back in the states when we landed big me great food fighter song go on don't know it you guys got any shows coming up frank Put punk?

Yeah, I wish we did. Why don't you guys do more shows? I think we're just gonna... That's a great question. Actually, we have like a pup punk group chat. I'm in a bunch of group chats at Barstville. Congratulations, Greg. Yeah, that's awesome.

That's really cool. What I meant by that is like different like walks of life. Like I have a four play one which like we talk golf in it and we talk like with our friends, amongst friends about like, you know, our festivities as the golf people here. And then I have a pup punk one which is just like Roan and PFT like writing witty things. to each other with Robbie Fox. It's like, I think Buddha Ben's still in that one. And I'm just like, I'm in another world.

Like, at least in the four play one, I can, like, contribute. Like, in the pop punk group chat, I mean, they're putting in, like, they're getting, Ron puts like, Roman will just text us at, like, nine o'clock in night a song with the year next to it. And, like, everyone's, like, right. What's the point of that? Just like, so we listen. Like, like, ideas for songs we can play. Inspiration.

Like, he'll do, like, whatever, like, big me, 93. Like, you know what I mean? It's awesome. Because you guys are like a cover man. Yeah. A lot of ways are legit cover band. But they're just cool guys. Not to say you guys aren't cool, but like Roan and PFT are cool.

And Robb is like, Robby's cool. None of us claim to be cool. Like Robbie Fox is cool. I think we're cool relative to like the golf world, but in terms of the real world, we're not like cool. Right.

Do you think you're cooler? No, but like I would say I'm on equal playing field with Robbie Fox, but maybe not. Yeah, but he's got like the arm sleeve. He's like, you know, he knows all about like movies and shit. He knows all about, he knows everything about everything.

I guess what's your baseline for cool? Because if it knows a lot about movies, then... Look, I love Robbie. Robbie was the original. You don't think he's cool? No, I think he's cool. Original producer on this show. Yeah, he was.

I don't know if Robbie Fox is considered, like, cool. I think he would consider himself more of, like, nerdy than cool. But I think, like, nerdy culture is cool now. I agree with that. I think it's shifted. He wears, like, backwards hats, skinny jeans, like a tight t-shirt. He hangs out with Dana White. He hangs out with Dana White, and he has, like, awesome tattoos.

Yeah, like, we hang out of, like, Tiger Woods. We're not cool. Yeah, but, like, that outfit, like, like, If I wore Robbie Fox's outfit, people would be like, oh, look at Frankie trying to be a cool guy. Well, what if he wore your outfit? I think he would look nerdy. He would look like a buffoon. Like preppy nerd.

Yeah. Dude, I think it's changed. I'd be curious if Robbie Fox thinks of himself as, like, cool. I think he does. You think so? Yeah. He's got those, he's got like checkered shoes on and shit. No, I think he thinks he's cool.

I mean, that's just a style. You got to pull off. I don't know if we would, if we ask him straight up, I think he'd say no. I think he would say that I'm in a nerdy things. but then what like what frankie said is true nerd culture has completely taken over the world Marvel's the biggest thing in the world it's a good point

Star Wars Marvel I mean like people were literally dying in the streets because like Spider-Man like wasn't a part of the next movie like you know what I mean The things he likes are cool and he knows everything about those things I think that makes him We have done like a reverse like counterculture on what's like acceptable and cool

used to be like a total dweeb if you were into like Star Wars now it's like you're fucking cool And now Jock's he's got a lightsaber tattoo Right He's got a Batman tattoo. What if I walked in with those tattoos? I think you get arrested on the spot.

Yeah, it wouldn't look right. That big body. Oh, my goodness. Lurch, how are you like surviving right now? You know. When? I actually feel, how long have you been home?

I've been home since Friday, like five or six p.m. But not really. No, I haven't been home yet. Because you just went straight. I've been in the States. Dude, I've not been back to my apartment since we left for cab. Or no, that's not true. We left for Cabot.

had a great trip we'll get into it we flew home that was for the record that was it feels like a year ago September 10th September 10th slash 11th is when we went to three weeks ago yeah left for cabot we flew back Monday morning I got no joke 30 minutes in my apartment

where I just got to like sit in my bed for a second then I had to go to work work the whole day left that night for a 9 p.m. Red Eye that landed in Edinburgh at 9 a.m. the next day. So that was my only sleep on the plane. Then, from then on, I played 36 holes walking a day carrying my own back.

So it was a golf trip again. It was a golf trip. Not a vacation. No, not a vacation. You went golf trip to golf trip. Golf trip to golf trip. Hardcore. Hardcore.

No carts. No nothing. No caddies? No caddies. What's that about? Just didn't do caddies. Yeah. No.

I mean, costs were pretty high already, so we were trying to limit the cost. I didn't know if, like, the courses you were playing, like, required. No, we thought about doing it Royal Dornick, but we just decided not to. You're getting kind of a groove when you're carrying your own back. Totally. And it was really fun because over there, we actually put, for some of the courses, we put the lasers away because every marker is to the front of the green, and then they give you how many yards on and left and right it is. So we just totally played off that.

Old school. Old school. That's kind of cool. Yeah, it was really fun. Slow you down or not really? Not really because you're just, I mean, you're looking at it. You get to pull out these sweet yardage books and you look at it. And you're like, all right, well, this is about that?

How big of a difference is it in style of golf would they give you over there to the front of the green? Not to the middle. So here everybody, you just fly the ball and it just stops on a dime. There it's like, no, no, no, if you land this somewhere near the front of the green, you better hope it stays on. And I was, I mean, I was still stuck in Link's Golf because, so we'll get in the whole thing. But we just did this awesome trip, Buddy's trip at Foxwood. So I literally landed from there pretty much went right to Foxwoods and had this 24-man trip all weekend. where Lurchy is like the captain of our team eight years run.

So, I mean, the whole thing was a mess. But in that same vein of like hitting it to the front of the green, there was a couple wedges that I was still stuck in Link's golf because it was like 100-yard shots. I was thinking like, in my head subconscious, I was like just 75 yards and let that thing roll up there. I was hitting these wedge shots 75 yards that literally needed to be played like 90 or 95 yards. Which is not even close. And they weren't even close. And I'm there staring it down and everybody else is like, go, go, go.

I'm like, what are you talking about? That thing's going to be golden. And then it hits like the side of the green, bounces way right. I'm like, fuck. There's another bogey at least. Yeah, and Cabot plays the same way. Same way. Same way.

I mean, I was stuck in it. I played, how many rounds are we playing Cabot? We played seven rounds. Seven rounds. So that's 80, 56, 126. And then I played, I think, 126 holes. And I played 180 in Scotland. Your hair tells a story right now.

Oh, I mean, my body. You should have seen me. So when we left, I mean, it was an all-time trip. I pinged and messaged some people on, like, DM, Instagram, Twitter, about the trip, what we did, et cetera. But it was a straight golf trip, straight grind the whole time, but it was unbelievably fun. When we left, we left Sunday night, and I got to Amsterdam. And we actually, I rented a houseboat with two other guys, which was awesome Amsterdam for the week. When I woke up on Monday morning, I mean, there was a pole in my ass.

I couldn't walk anywhere. My legs were cramped tight, the whole business. It was absolutely awful. I was so sore and just straight uncomfortable. It was insane. Yeah, there was a moment when we took a three and a half hour, you know, shuttle, sprinter van back from Cabot to Halifax for our 6 a.m. flight out of Halifax Sunday night slash Monday morning. And when our line went off at like 3.45 that morning to catch your shuttle to the airport, like I couldn't walk.

No. I literally couldn't even walk. I came into the office. I had no voice that day. I was a train wreck. Lurch did that. Went to the office all day, except instead of me going home and going to sleep for four days straight, which I did, he just went and played 36 older.

Slept on a plane and I don't sleep on plane. Right. It's necessity at that point. Oh, my God. I was tired, but you're kind of like going in and out of consciousness, but I was still like sweet. Like I'm sleeping a little bit here. Yeah.

When I got off that plane and like we just got our bags, got our golf gear, went right to Ely to play 36. I was like, where the hell am I? You just killed your buddy the whole time. Oh, my God. What was wrong with that guy? I don't know. You didn't lose?

He couldn't find the golf ball. I didn't even come close to lose. I mean, I was any matches on 14 and 50. At any point, did you change the way the match was? Well, so, yeah, we did, but it was like, it's going to come off worse for him. He came in. Was he an 80 handicap? What's wrong?

Who loses that made that? A 6-8 handicap. So, and I came in as an 8-2, I think. So he was giving me one or two strokes. depending on the course we played. And that was only for, I think, day one. Because I just, he actually won the front nine and then I slaughter him on the back with the first 18.

And then the second 18, I just rubbed him. So then I felt bad. And I was like, dude, I'm going to beat you regardless of what handicap we are. So I was like, let's play straight up. So instead of him giving me one or two, we just played straight up. And no, I mean, I felt bad for him because when you go to Scotland, you want to have your game, you want to play, you want to play good golf. and I mean he couldn't

He couldn't find the center of the club base anywhere Were you playing fantastic golf? I was playing great I had my high was in 86 Then in 83, we played 10 rounds So you're playing well Playing really well Okay

Playing really well I was just curious Because your buddy I mean I've never I don't know who goes over there He plays like 10 rounds And it doesn't win once Every time

I've never heard that in my life It was unbelievable Because every match was for lunch So we'd play the first 18 We'd go in and get a free lunch It was to the point that I was just like Go son I'll take a

a little salad and a burger before we go back for the 18. And he's just scrambling for his credit card ready to pay again. It sucks. Yeah, it was. Yeah, that guy's got to figure it out. It got to the point where I couldn't watch your stories anymore. I was like, I know this guy's going to be five down through like nine. It was unbelievable.

He'd lose right out of the gate. And I will say, Cruden Bay, unbelievable golf course. There is Fescue everywhere, everywhere. So if you sprayed off the tea, which he was, he just was losing golf balls. And he hit in his spots and we're like, oh, we'll definitely find this one. Gone. And he bought a dozen golf balls. He legit by, I think by the, maybe the 16th hole, he was asking me for golf.

Lost them all. He was out. Wow. He was out of golf balls. Jesus. This guy sucks a golf. It didn't go well for him. He actually does have real game.

Yeah, his buddies do. They were ragging on him. Because he stinks at golf. Because it was like, I was dead. It was, I think it was the last Wednesday recorded show that you guys did. You dogged on him. And so we're sitting there having, like, team drinks because our conference is Thursday. And I'm like, Greg, what's up?

And he's just, like, sitting on a chair, like, head down. And he's like, all my buddies, I guess, just listening to a podcast and they just ripped on you. And he's just sitting over there. We're trying to, like, fix a problem. We're just reacting to what we see. Trying to figure out what's going on. It's like a phenomenon. Right.

All the media and all the evidence available says that your buddy stinks a golf. I will say one of the funniest video. I'm so glad I got it recorded was when we were playing Crude in ninth hall Beautiful view He is staring down a 60 degree wedge Like it could go in And it literally comes up 20 yards short

And then he swings again About 200 miles an hour I put it out on Twitter It was like one of the funniest Moments of frustration Because at that point he's probably like Down 4 through 9 You'll lose his eighth match in a row

Yeah that poor guy I hope you it does suck When you go somewhere You're really excited to play You just don't have your game It stinks I know a couple of my buddies that were a cabot that happened to them where they just, like, weren't, they just didn't have their game,

weren't playing their best. And it's like, you want to enjoy these holes and all this and that, you don't. So I felt bad before him having said that, based on the evidence that I have that was available to the public, he really needs to work on the golf game. He said, really bad. I saw him today, and he's like, I'm going to the range. Like, I got out of the range all week. No, I've been there.

We've all been there before. And then the last thing I got to say is you, I saw you enjoyed yourself with my friends at leaving links. Unbelievable time with those guys. Leaving Thistle. Leaving Thistle. Which these guys, I was saying how it's a pretty blue collar club. Totally is. And they were like, a name like Levin Fissel can't be Blue Collar Club.

See, I was on the other side of it. I think that sounds blue collar. Leven Fissel? I don't know over there, yeah. You keep saying that. Like, you know what they do over there. You know the difference between what sounds. I just figured, when you went, you talked about how.

Don't say over there like that. Why? Because you don't know the difference between what sounds blue collar and what doesn't over there. All I know is that when Riggs went on his trip, he said that. How many things have you heard of over there that you can like make. a comparison. What I'm saying is when Riggs went, please you can tell you.

He said that when he went over there, that it was all, like all the courses were blue collar that way, where it's like over here in America, not over there. It's, it's different. Like here it's much ritzier

and you got to pay to get on and it's country clubs. Over there, everything's pretty blue collar. Whatever it is over. I'm just saying, leaving thistle sounds like, I don't know,

like I'm watching an old school movie. Like we're going to leave and Thistle. You know, it sounds like, you know, come on boy. Over there. Come on boy. To the thistle. to the thistle how was it it was unbelievable it was great i will say that was probably one of my

worst rounds i couldn't find it but we got i think we teed off at noon and they were like meet us at least an hour early for drinks and we were just pouring back drinks all day and it is fairly blue collar just regular club but we had i mean over the course of the day we had a thousand drinks and that's not even understated it was a thousand it was unbelievable to the point where so we showed up 10.30, had a bunch of drinks, went out there, had just a great old time with just two guys that were unbelievable. I followed them now. And, I mean, one's a complete,

he's a menaced society. Dale? Yeah. Dale's a menace to society. Dale needs to be controlled. He's a problem. He's unbelievable. I think what he, oh, man, I'll find it on it. So it's him, it's Dale and this guy, Colin. And Colin is a caddy at St. Andrews.

and he followed us I think he listened to the show before I even went over there so this is a couple years ago two and a half years ago and he was kind of had reached out to me and like I heard you coming over come play my club

and you know we'll have a good time this that we did and that's where my famous picture of me just passed out at Levin Thistle at one of their tables with like I don't know 10 empty scotch glasses in front of me

leg up on the table exactly yeah I did you that's where that picture's from Lurch recreated that picture and then basically it sounds like had the same same exact night with those guys Same time.

Yeah. Except the only difference was we were like, let's take a picture. Colin just slides across the table and does like one of these like layback poses. The three of us take a picture together. Yeah, I mean, we got so loose there. And then we were kind of planning the trip on the fly a little bit and like booking rooms, Airbnbs in a sense. And so no joke, we had a bunch of drinks with them. And then after the round, more and more drinks.

And it's unbelievable. And it is a blue collar cup. You'd go up and you'd be like, can I like seven drinks? I'd be like, that's like 10 pounds. And you're like, unbelievable. Yeah, no. Here's all the money I have. Just like keep him coming.

Then this other guy, Scott, who's a friend of theirs, tremendous guy, actually a drummer, old drummer, punk drummer. Nice. Loves the band Weezer. He invites us back to his house. He put us up for the night. Oh. We went back to his place, had more drinks with Colin, Scott, Greg, and me, and had more, more drinks and then passed out there and left early in the morning. It's a great Scottish experience.

It was unbelievable. So the picture that I wanted to bring up, Dale, Not a huge social media guy, but does post some things from time to time. He posted of two young lads in the 11thistle club, and he must have some drinks last night. Two young guys. He just posted this picture. It says, tall, thin, sexy humps, hashtag shaggers. All right.

And just that's the type of guy is. He's kind of a little bit. Those are pictures of not him. No, just random guys. But these two guys are beauties that are part of the 11thistle club. Okay. Leaving. Leaving.

Sorry. Yeah, Dale's interesting. He's very interesting. He's interesting cat. But it was, yeah, a tremendous time with them. Yeah, can't wait to get back there, honestly. Frankie, how's Buffalo? Buffalo was Buffalo.

I mean, it's crazy. Was that supposed to mean? Oh, like, Buffalo's exactly what you expect it to be. You know, it's like the bears are who we thought they were, you know? You go to Buffalo and you're just like, I'm going to see gray skies. I'm going to be a little cold, and I'm going to see a lot of people drinking bees. years and screaming. He's going to get covered in ketchup and mustard and screaming about how the

bill's going to win. They're going to lose and then you're going to fly out of there and you're just going to be back home. That's exactly what happened. I woke up. I came home and that was my weekend. No surprises. There was a surprise.

Dave Port and I walked into my room into my hotel room and I was exposed. What? I was a little bit exposed. Well, your legs were or your whole body? No. Well, all right. So listen. What?

Were you putting on powder? Were you ankles to the ears? Imagine Dave walked in. I'm like, as my ankles are behind my ears. Dave, it's not what it looks like. All right. And I'm still powdering. Just like, Davis, not what it looks like, man.

I just got to get this done. You know, you walk there. All right. So, walk us through it. What happened? All right. So we went out Friday night. Our hotel was outrageous. Anyone in the Buffalo area, we stayed at this place called Friday or Saturday night.

This was Friday night. Oh, Saturday. I'm sorry. Saturday night. The Curtis. It's a brand new hotel. No joke. We've been around the world in my three years.

working at barsoil the curtis is the nice hotel i think i've been in which is insane okay like my my shower had um had seven like spray things on the on either side and when and it had a touch screen to turn on the the the shower so like a touch and like i've never been in a shower you could see the temperature so it was like go up to 107 degrees like which i guess is just like normal i don't know i was like yeah usually just like hopefully it doesn't burn my skin pressure right so these things are hitting me from all sides i felt like i was in a car watch i know jones got in the middle of these things and I just, I put my arms out and I turned them out. They should have that.

They should, you know, like, you know, like, I love that. And I adjusted them so that the highest one could just hit my armpits and I just, and I helicoptered for anyone that's listening. I know this is an audio show. I put my arms up on my side and I turned around. You got wings right now. I had wings. And I turned around.

And it just hit me like you wouldn't believe. Please tell me you took a picture of this. Because this has to go up. No, my self showering? No, of the shower itself, though. I don't think, I think I took a snatcher. I don't think I saved it though. That's unbelievable.

No, I didn't take a video of it. I'm picturing like a rotating podium they need underneath that. So you can like turn that on and just stand there and don't have to move your feet. Exactly. Rotate, rotate, rotate. The, uh, the toilet had a bidet, so I was washing my ass all like you wouldn't. Did you ever leave the bathroom? Dude, I sat there and I, I mean, I pumped that pressure all the way.

All my God. All the way. I imagine you just had water, like, it was going through your veins, but you know, I thought at one point I could open up my mouth and it would just squirt out. You're such a sick fuck Yeah you are It's fucked Look at them, I'm having it on and see

Like you like misses the pressure of the beday Dude, How high can this pressure go? Yeah It was great You know You move You move the position and shit

When in Rome You know What's your girlfriend think about this? I don't know I'm like nice and clean Yeah Clean man You know

I'm squeaky You're just clean as you've So yeah The hotel So that's what I did So Dave ended up Dave ends up going out for some drinks on Saturday night. We went to dinner.

I was like, you know what? Like, we have a really early morning tomorrow. Bill's Mafia takes it hard. Like, they get to the fucking places at 8 o'clock in the morning. So we were playing on meeting downstairs in the hotel 730. Dave went out. Maybe Spider went out. I don't know who went out.

But I went home. I watched Saturday Night Live, which sucks now. I mean, Saturday Night is like the worst show in the world. It just doesn't make me laugh anymore. I got excited to watch. I probably haven't watched that in 15 years. I was like, oh, I'm like in front of a TV on. Saturday night. Let me watch it. It's like the, it's the season premiere and then it just suck.

What's it called? So I like, I told David, I'm like, you know, I'm just going to have a nice night in. They had gummy bears inside the room. They had chocolates. They had Goodyear bars, all these things. Like, it was insane. In your room? In my room. Wow. They had a glass gummy bear filled with gummy bears inside. What kind were with a hairbo? I don't know, man. They may have been like homemade. That's how good they were. They were like soft and like gooey. It was crazy. So I was like, you know what? I'm going to wake up nice and early. So next morning comes around. We're supposed to meet downstairs at 7.30. I wake up in a panic at 7.49.

Now, Dave Portnoy is supposed to be in the car at 7.30 on his way. He didn't want to be late. I woke up in a panic at 7.49. And the reason I bring up the shower is because I had such a good shower and bidet experience that I got into my bed completely naked, right? I, like, I, like, slipped in. Like, there was a brand new bed, hotel bed. I'm like, so I woke up in a fucking panic. Like, holy shit.

I've never once over slept. I've never ever slept in my three years of working here. I've never been late. I never miss a day at work. I don't do this. Dave's probably fucking freaking out. I open up my phone. I have six unread messages from Dave.

I have three missed calls from Spider. Now my hotel room number is ringing. So I'm like, holy shit. My room was a disaster from the night before. I had things charging in every part of the room. I had three battery cameras charging on one part. My laptop was open. I just didn't prepare the night before.

I thought I'd wake up nice and early at 6.30. I'd get it all done. nothing was done. So I'm like, holy shit. So I like, I'm saying to myself, you can be faster than this,

Frank. Like I'm telling you to get ready. I'm like, I put on my underwear. I put on my jeans a little bit, right? I'm like, as I'm putting on my jeans,

my door starts to open. So like my, I'm like in my underwear, my jeans are rolling up and all of a sudden, I have like no shirt on no nothing. And I'm like, who's walking in right now?

Like basically like my dicks. I'm like, what's going on? So I look up and like, in a stop, I just look at Dave Portnard and he's just like, what are you doing? I was like my I was like my uh I was like my alarm never went off I don't

I don't know what happened I was like my alarm never went off I'll be right down he just like closed the door and I'm like oh my god when I go downstairs I'm just like fired like I don't know like what happens here so I'm fucking rushing around I'm putting my contacts in I didn't even brush my teeth I brush my teeth as I go down I'm like getting water I like spit in like a garbage can out in the hallway it was crazy and I get downstairs and I was like I don't know what happened man like I just got this new phone which I got a new phone right everyone look at my cool new phone You got the 11. I got the 11th.

You got it? Very nice. Oh, why is yours not the three? I didn't get, what did you go? I, 11 pro or something.

Yeah, I just got the regular. A couple weeks ago. I missed that. So this thing's insane. So, but like for some reason, I don't know,

I just, it has like a new wake-up thing on it. Like, when you go to, um, I don't know. I just messed up. I just didn't hit fucking,

like, I didn't hit the time. I just never set my alarm. And I went downstairs like in a panic. That's not. Hold on. You're like, blaming the new phone.

You just didn't. You just do it. Dude, I, you guys have done the classic AM PM. People do that. They have this like, if you look at this thing,

it's like the new. It's just, he's lost his mind. It's like this bedtime thing. And I swear that it's never used to have been there. And I like hit it. And at the time it was like PM.

And I think it like turns off something. So I've got, I still got my old phone. Yeah. So you don't have that. No, it looks different. I just like put your phone on like.

So mine says like bedtime. And I think it like puts your phone on like, do not disturb at a certain time. like I hit it or something. I don't know. My phone was on Do Not Disturb. I do know that. And it got me fucked.

Okay. So I ran downstairs and I was like, I just looked at Dave. I was like, I don't know what happened. And he was just like, it's all right. No problem. Like we're out like, no problem. And he's like, everything good. Dude, it was crazy.

I was like, I'm dead. I'm a dead person. Yeah, six text messages, a bunch of missed calls. He was so like just like, you know, like it. He actually made a joke. He's like, I thought that you were doing like a wild maneuver to like get yourself out of the pizza game like just not showing up to the tailgate today. Oh.

I was like, I think he genuinely, like, asked some, I think he genuinely walked into my room thinking I was, like, dead. Because I've never been late. Like, I thought, like, maybe with all those mismessages and, like, all the calls, they're like, this kid's, like, not breathing anymore. He had one too many, like, chocolates last night. And he just had an art attack. Yeah. Yeah, it is, it is quite a move for him to be like, go up to the front desk and be like, what's the room? But he's done that before. I think he had, I did that with Hank. Remember in the old school stoolers? Remember this?

They did a kickball. They did a kickball tournament in, like, Hank or Fidelberg. It wasn't Hank. I'm sorry. Fidelberg over slept and Dave walked into Fidelberg's room and woke him up. That is a scary thing. Like actually, imagine fucking sleeping and you feeling something and you look up and it's Dave. And he's like wake up.

After a drunken night, like you don't know what's going on. And he's like, wake up. But that's the thing I pissed him up. That is the night. I didn't fucking drink. I stayed in because I'm like I have an early night and I still fucking woke up late. But yeah, that was my experience. Wow.

Sorry. It's a long winded. You know what's a better experience than that? What? Peter Milar. Oh, I love Peter Milar. I got to tell you. We're wearing these new quarter zips right now, the Perth.

Well, what do you got on there? That's like a... I don't know, but it's comfy. That thing is really... I got one in, too. A little light blue. We're all just rocking some Petermalargear gear right now. Look, you know, Petermalar.com slash 4, you get complimentary shipping, free hat.

We've been talking about it. You okay, Frankie? Is that the bidet water coming up? Still stuck in there? What the hell was that? Yeah, it was just lost, Reggie. Dude, that was like a sneeze cough, but, like, I have... Actually, I'm like seeing stars.

What? I love Peter Malar. I didn't mean to do that. No, that was. No, it wasn't Peter Ballar. That was something inside you. Peter Mar is keeping you nice and comfortable. I don't know.

The outside, I don't know what's going on in the inside. Yeah, exactly. Outside looks good. I've never seen someone who comes presenting well for having. That was bad a situation internally as I've ever seen. Anyways, Peter Moirre. Okay, best stuff, pants. I go with the EB-66 performant five-pocket pants.

I got some... I'm wearing their pants right now. You know, I got the Asai-E-Berry, or the maroon ones that I've got. Some people call it maroon. They're called Asai-Berry. Okay. They're the ones that I was wearing at Cabot.

They are off-the-charts flames. The color is off the chart. So, go to petermore.com slash four. I still can't believe what just came out. Check it out. It's crazy. The Perth pullovers, their shoes. The hyper light, I think, is what they're called.

The shoes that I rock. All their stuff. Peter Warren makes the best stuff. We did a pizza review with French Montana, and they had a sprinter van, and they had these guys who were, like, eight feet tall, big bouncer standing outside. And we were, like, comparing our crew, like, me and Dave compared to their crew. And at that point, I was wearing the brand new Peter Millar, Barstool Golf. What color are we calling that? Peppermint.

Sure. Pepperments. That's actually spot on. Pepperman color. And Dave was looking at me, and he's like, boy, he's like. like he's like we couldn't be more opposite than this like french montanica right now like they were they were so just like swagged out yeah and i looked and dave's like you look like you just got off like the golf course that's what he says like you look like you just came

back from a country club like argument at like like off the 18th green argument hurts yeah yeah it makes it so much worse yeah it's like some petty stupid argument couldn't matter last stormed off and gotten your list this all right right but like i was standing on the street of Manhattan and I looked like I had just gotten off the golf course. That's what Peter Malar does. Look, they're layering, the layering options, if you're looking for stuff for this fall, it's like 62 degrees and I walked on my apartment today, all kinds of good stuff from the quarter zips to their vest, their four-way stretch, the banded cuffs and branded bottom hem,

dry release, natural touch stretch, all kinds of good stuff. Go to Pita Malar.com slash four. Check it out. Golf weekend classic. We're at Foxwoods this weekend, 24 guide trip that we do every year. I did talk about the origins of the name one time because Trent Daddy back, we used to do the show alone, I think just called it the dumbest name in the history of a golf tournament

that you've ever heard. Yeah, that's what I said about it. Certainly the least creative. It's grown on me though. I like the novelty of it. Thank you. Yeah. It's like funny.

It's called the golf weekend classic. Nice. Thanks, Frankie. Logo is the same thing is kind of augustic, except we have the flag over Newport because that's where pretty much the trip started.

That was the first official year we kept score. And then instead of the yellow, it's just the American flag. Essentially, it started with them not knowing they were starting like a tournament that eight years later would be. That's kind of how those things go. Exactly. So there's, you know, we say back nine ban, it's been, uh, lurches our captain. He's the captain of the squad.

He's been the captain the whole time. I've been, I think this was the sixth one that I've been on. We're six and won all time because even though there's been eight, nobody knows who won the first one because it wasn't like a thing. The teams were even different. But we do, what I like about that one is. different some other trips it's like a lifetime team thing so once you're on one team that's your team like forever there's a lot of team camaraderie there's a lot of chirping that goes out it's not like you redraft every year nothing like that it's just the same squads basically forever if one or two

of your guys can't come it's up to like your team to replace them with guys that are not already part of the trip on the other team and this and that we have done foxwoods or um sorry we did newport what five years in a row yep five years in a row went to newport rileland which is an absolute blast such a good summertime we played newport national which is a really fun track like 15 minutes outside of of Newport but we lost like last year was the first year we lost our Airbnb like our go-to Airbnb had this patio that overlooked like on the third floor overlooked what dame street yeah a little penthouse and we lost that so then it was like well fuck what are we going to do because like a lot of the other housing options there stink so we ended up

going to saratoga last year saratoga was fun it wasn't i don't know it wasn't ideal it was very fun but i don't know that it's like it's great for going to the track and that was like the best part was Friday, went to the track. Yep. I talked about Saratoga this weekend. I think Dave went there on his bachelor party. I was talking about what are the best places to go on a bachelor party. That's how I brought it up at Saratoga.

I did a bachelor party at Saratoga. It was awesome because we strictly did the track. We had a house right there. We had like a pool in the backyard that we could play like water volleyball or pool volleyball. And so we just bounced between those two locations. It was perfect. I think for the golf trip when you added in golf and try to fit in the track, it just like. It doesn't all match?

It was less than ideal. I don't think it captivated our group as much as we thought it was going to. We can actually come back to this conversation. What is the ultimate bachelor party? A lot of the people that listen to this probably do have to book bachelor parties and want golf included in that trip. I'm about to come into that world. My buddy just got engaged.

His bachelor party's coming up. So it's like we're all trying to figure out. I was trying to think what's my ultimate bachelor party experience. Yeah, it's funny because it's something that like pretty much everyone that's in our demographic listening to the show goes through. It's like you go through a bunch of bachelor parties. You want a place where like you have a huge house, a pool.

You have, I guess like an iconic type like drinking area. Like like like like, like you think of like Vegas. Austin, Nashville, Vegas. Like New Orleans.

And then you want like really good golf. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It is really good golf or do you want like shitty golf where you can go out on like like with like your feet like with no shoes? I've done both sides and like there's an argument for both sides. What I've learned is this. What I've learned is this.

There's almost no answer to. having an ideal awesome A plus nightlife and having phenomenal golf. That almost like doesn't exist. If you go to somewhere like a band and dunes or a Cabot or something like that, that's like the best golf in the world, but it's all golf. That's like what you're there to do. There's no bars, right? Not really, no.

I mean, Cabot has a little bit of like a real fun. Like the public house is a, it's like the go-to spot in town. So it's a lot of fun going on there. And all the employees and caddies are there too. But it's not, it's like, it's just one bar. It's got maybe 30 or 40 people in it. It's not something like a now. Asheville or Austin or whatever.

I have done, like Austin has Barton Creek, which is, I think, 30 or 40 minutes outside of Austin, which is a golf resort that you can, like, kind of do both. But then what are you doing like 30 minute Uber's each night into town? That's the thing. It's a problem. You can go to Vegas and like have a great couple nights, you know, you got, you do the clubs. You can do the tables. You have a sick, like, whatever, pool the whole thing.

And then, like, you go like golf like Wolf Creek or one of these crazy golf courses, but you're also like in an Uber and like it almost takes away from like. Yeah, that's been. my experience every time with Vegas. And I haven't like, I haven't actually gone to Vegas with like golf being a main part of it or even a main day like with a bachelor party since we kind of started doing all this where so I like I think there's probably better options that I've explored before. Wolf Creek's like an hour or 15 minutes. So it's like maybe you get a party bus with the guys and go do that for the day. Yeah. But then it's like if you're really going to Vegas like a lot of guys

don't even want to bring their clubs if you're going to Vegas for like two days, you know? So it kind of becomes like, is Vegas the right answer? So again, for me, like people ask a lot. Like most, the most like times I give a recommendation on a bachelor party is if they're like, hey, our bachelor party is all about golf. Like I know a buddy next summer who's planning it and he's like bringing eight of his best like golf buddies and that's it. He's like, I want it to be a fucking golf trip. Right, right, right.

Not everybody's like that. Here's two sleepers that I think. I think Minneapolis would be an awesome one where you get a house on a lake and then you get to golf, like, you can golf, really good golf courses out there and probably, like, not walking distance, but they're probably relatively close to, like, the downtown area. And then maybe it's, this is actually not a sleeper, but, like, Scottsdale is definitely awesome because going out in Scottsdale is phenomenal. I've gone there on vacation.

It's a fun fucking time. Unbelievable. Some of the best golf courses, like, in the world are over there. Scottsdale's up there. Scottsdale might be the best answer for what we're talking about. I will say, like, for people on the East Coast is not the easiest to get to. And it's expensive. And it's expensive.

I just booked one in Scottsdale, Bachelor. Bachelor party? It's expensive. Do you have golf involved? Golf is on the side. Maybe two rounds, probably one round. It's like whoever wants to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But there's a lot of those. You can get some sick Airbnbs out there. Oh, I'm sure. It's insane. So the one that I just booked, we're going to New Orleans. And I'm not sure that golf is even going to be involved. Yeah, I don't know much about the golf scene in New Orleans. We have.

We were there for one day one time. We have a house. That has actually cost us like two years relationship with the project. Really? Burn that right. I'm going down there soon for a bachelor party. But Burbin Street is. fucking awesome awesome

I heard that whatever clothes you bring don't expect to like bring them home they're gonna be that dirty like dirt like actual dirt like that a lot yeah might keep my Peter Malar at home then for sure

yeah yeah Peter Malar will be staying yeah no it's interesting um you know I yeah I think Scottsdale might be the answer Scottsdale too is such a fun town Scottsdale's in my five top five favorite cities I've ever been to

wow I love Scottsdale I think it's gorgeous I think it has such a fun vibe it does people are like young and friendly the bars are all happening yet it's also like it's just so different it's very different than any other city you've been to such a good experience in scot cell went there with my girlfriend we like went to this really nice resort called talking stick resort um it's like a casino there and they have a really good golf course attached to it we went there like it was like it was like for her birthday or my birthday it was like a

really big deal like it was like our first time going like across the country and like like you know a big trip for us um and i remember like our room wasn't ready or something like that and they like upgraded us to a fucking penthouse suite like overlooking all the fucking mountains and the golf courses. And then we got like, we had a guy bring us to fucking, to like the Antelope Canyon, which you walk through.

It's like the most picturesque antelope can't. Antelope can't. You see the antelopes? No, dude, it's not antelopes. You've seen this shit. It's like, you've walked into the...

I thought you said, Analope Canyon. He did say Analope Canyon. Thank you. No, he's, he's, you know,

and he's acting like, we're fucking idiots for asking if there's antelope. You know how sick the iPhone is? You type in your photos, Anelope Canyon, and it comes up. But it's this shit.

To wait, wait, this thing. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's very cool. Look up Anelo Canyon. That looks like, what is it, 127 hours? Yes, that's exactly what it is. That looks like that's inside. Like, you're inside this shit.

Yeah. So we had like a personal driver bring us to that and the Grand Canyon. Such a fun trip. And then you get to go out at night and you get to experience like the, you can go to the casino. Like, I'm talking myself in the Scotts area. I want to see the Grand Canyon, but I'm a little worried. I'm clumsy. You think you'll fall in?

I don't think I'll fall in, but I'm clumsy. We were there going up the stairs a lot. You know, so we're serious. That's a crazy. I mean, I'm not saying I'm not going to go. I'm saying that whenever I think about going to the Canadian, part of me thinks like, I think they probably got, you know, things in place. They don't.

They don't, man. People fall off all bad. I've been learning now that they don't. Someone died. People fall off all time. Someone died the day after I was there. Thank you. And if that happened the day before, I'm not going down.

Thank you. Now, again, I'm not saying thank you because I'm happy someone died. I just know that it's more dangerous than you might. I'm showing you guys a picture. There's this picture of this place that's called. See that? That's a hilarious. Horseshoe bend, right?

And the guy made me take a photo like this. He's like, this is the photo. He's like, you got to sit down and look. He's like, you got to sit down. This guy who took this photo said, why don't you. He goes, why don't you, um, to take a look. He's like, he was the tour guy. He goes, why don't you take a look down below and I'll hold your sweatshirt?

And I said, I'll, I'll, I was like, I'd rather like, you just toss me off now. Just some random guy. You're just going to trust like that? No way. He was my tour guy. And he's like, you got to look down below and like, see the whole bend of the river. And I said, why don't we just get to the chase? Why don't you just kill me now instead of like flirting with the guy?

Yeah. Did you do it? No. You've done the canyon too? Yeah. Dude, it's awesome. We took the team there. Looks insane.

There was a guy. So we only had two people. You think they had like guard rails up everywhere? Dude, there was a guy sitting. It sounds like a good idea, right? But most areas don't. Essentially, it's just a big hole in the ground. I think that there should be, there should be rails.

You're acting like it's crazy that they don't have, that they do it. I don't. saying crazy. I just, I've seen enough pictures and heard stories like Andrew just said about like people just fall. Look at this guy. I'm showing, this guy was playing the guitar on the edge. If he fell back, he's dead. I guess that would be a lot of railing too. What if you have, what if you have like an episode like Frankie just had earlier in the show where you're like, your body just like coughs up, boom, gone? Or what if you, what if you, what if you get lightheaded and you pass out and you just fall to the lap?

You could do that anywhere, though. You could do that in New York City and just fall into the show. Wait, let's guess. How close are you walking to trap? How many people at the Grand Canyon per year do you think? How many people fall in? Falling, falling at the Grand Canyon. Seven. Wait.

Yeah. 11. 15. 11. 42. Oh. Okay. I'll take that.

Forty two. One of them. I think if 42 people died the Grand Canyon, they'd shut it down a year. But out of those 12, how many are unintentional? I'd be curious about. How many of those are? Fill it up. All 12 unintentional.

Last year. That's good. Just fill it. it up with cement. Yeah. That's what Trent wants to do. Yeah. No, that's what I would do.

No, I'm just saying I, fill it up with cement. Yeah, he's saying there's 40 people died. He said, shut it down. You think we have enough cement in the world to fill up the Grand Canyon? I think we would have to, we would have to mobilize all of our resources as our world to like fill that thing. No more cement anywhere except fill in the Grand Canyon. How ugly that would be.

Yeah, because think about how much you'd imagine about a big of a waste of time. Yeah. He'd get it done and it's like, all right, we sell, we saved 12 people a year. We did it. I don't really know what we do about it. All these, like, diseases and epidemics. We're like, no, no. No, we're going to fill up the thing.

We got a hole in the ground. We're going to plug it up. That's like our generation. That's our, like, our... That's our generation's, like, going to the moon. Like, we save up all of our resources. Yep. Ten years later, like, we did it.

We filled the game. You know, you get way more deaths. People will be, like, road racing on top of it. Oh, yeah. Gone. So much. Yeah. What a disaster.

Grand Canyon. You know, Roan told me that, like, America, like, we only live on 4% of, like, like America. Like if you take like all of like like physically live on like like people are walking on because I don't know if that's true. Yeah, but we need our space. Right. Do you know what I'm saying?

4%. But like that includes that like my house also has trees in which I don't live on. Right. Like I live in just a house that's like however. Right. Taking up X amount of the earth. You only live on like. Half of one or something.

I don't know how he came up with this number, but he was saying. We were flying in a plane and we were looking at. I was like, oh my God. Look how my trees are in in fucking New Jersey. You really don't notice it. It's a garden state. Like, it's fucking tree line. Like,

the government is. And I was like, he's like, yeah, man, we only live on like 4% of America. I was like, holy shit.

You also got to take a new account that Ron could just be lying to you. Yeah. Because he's cool. Because he's cool and he's like, he's a bit of a wizard. The golf weekend classic. The golf weekend classic was at Foxwoods.

That's now 20 minutes ago. Lake of Isles, amazing. North course. Very difficult. Trouble everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere.

Everywhere. A lost ball. Didn't we have a Barstow Classic there? Yeah, we had it on you. Were you guys up there? I was in the Trayette. I was there.

It's trouble everywhere. So this was at the North course, which is the public course. The Barstall Classic was on the private course, which is the South course. They're both relatively similar, to be honest with you. But, yeah, we played both rounds on the North course. You know, we have in our group, like, what is the average handicap? Might be like a 13 or something. There are some guys in the 25, 30 range and all that.

So it's a good mix. But it's, it's, course, was in just phenomenal shape, starting to get right in the beginning of the little fall full. foliage, which is nice. We had, we did hotel rooms instead of an air, big air of E&B. We all stayed at the Foxtower at Foxwoods. And then we got like a suite on the side that had like a pool table, a bar. It was a blast.

It was an absolute blast. And we did so well at the tables as a group, collective group that at one point, the pit boss had to order more chips to the, to the blackjack table. Wow. A move I've never, the boys all started going crazy. We were like, what did he just say? Wait a minute. Like, how much were you winning?

Because at that point, like, they could just ever swap your, they could just, they could just, just swap your like 80-20s for like a couple like 500 chip you know what I mean we don't know man but there was a point where the pit boss legitimately had to go out of his weight and it was like we need like more chips on 11 we're all like let's go go nuts damn yeah we had a couple guys were up like a thousand a couple grand we had a bunch of guys up and like the low mid hundreds were up and we were just cruising so it was a very very successful week uh we were down four two going into sunday singles and just dominated sunday singles and they up went in what 10 and a half seven and a half Something like that.

Something like that. It was a great week. Golf Week and Classic. They say that golf is 90% mental. I think it might even be higher than that, which means that even the smallest issues can have a big impact on your scorecard. Because of that, getting a good night's sleep is incredibly important.

San Mateo. San Mateo, man. And then when we got back, I was, I was sore as a button, man. I was like... A buttons sore? I don't know. They're always getting pulled on and off, you know? Could be.

Yeah, buttons have a tough life. They're always hanging on by a thread. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Hey, got to... After CBDMD, they're not sore. You know, Trent, after the trip, he came over by me and rub some of that oil on my, some of that cream on my neck. Wait, was that like...

Was that like... Some of that CBD cream on my neck. Yeah, I did. Public or no? I mean, it was in the office. It's not like it was in my room or anything, but he definitely creamed my neck. Oh, okay. It's a cream that you put on my neck.

I did. All jokes aside, just stuff. Creamed your neck. He creamed my neck. This stuff really does feel good. It's like, it's a soothing feeling.

I wanted to talk about this golf.com piece that came out real quickly. Golfing.com. It was what it should be called. Shout to Cameron champ. We're going to get to that story. He had a quote where he said, this would be like the greatest golfing moment of my life for us. Jim Nance also did this weekend as well.

I said golfing because he's working in the booth of Tony. rumble, which we'll also get to. We'll get to all that. I just quickly wanted to touch on it. We kind of already touched on it, you know, accidentally. But golf.com comes out with their best golf resorts in North America list. They did it in an interesting way where they did like, and I guess you have to do this to some degree, but they did luxury.

They did four different categories. Luxury, buddies trip, general excellence, which I don't know what that means. And then family, which everybody knows what that means. Buddies is what we're going to focus on. But I think they're pretty much probably spot on with this. they went number one band and dunes number two pinehurst number three cabot number four sand valley and then number five is the resort at diomante in cabo st lucas which we've never been to but banon is definitely number one now the reason i want to bring this up very quickly is because

i get messages all the time because i think i'm the only one here that's been to banon and cabot people ask me all the time like where should i go which one should we do the answer is if you if you have to go to one first you've never been to either you got to go to band and the answer is because Bannon has five different golf courses. Bannon has four that are all ranked inside the top, I think, 79 in the country, 18-hole courses, and then they have a 13-hole par-three course of that. You heard us talk about the sandbox on this show and how much fun that was at San Valley, which is their 17-hole par-three course.

Take that and just put it on the cliffs, like overlooking the ocean, is what the par-three course is abandoned. And then on top of that, they have their, I think it's a 10,000 square-foot putting course that they have. So Bannon has all that because it's been around since 1999. Cabot has just two golf courses right now, two 18-hole golf courses. I prefer both of those golf courses to any course at Bannon. Now, that's a ridiculous thing for me to have to say because the courses are so awesome at Bandon. But you guys know how I feel about Cabot Cliffs and then Cabot-Links.

You're on the hat. You're on the hat. You're on the hat. It's a fire hat. Thank you. The experience that we had there, I love those two golf courses, two of my favorite courses in the entire world. But I do think that if you're, if you had to, like, teleport to one for the first time ever, I think you got to go to Banda.

I think there's more golf. There's too much golf to say no. Now, having said that, Cabot's building a part three course that's going to be done, I think, like, next summer. That's going to be above Cabot Cliffs, the golf course. So that's going to overlook the ocean. It's going to be like same type of vibe.

They're also building a huge putting course. It's going to be just like the putting course, the punch bowl at Bannon. And then while we were there, they were scouting outland for a third 18-hole course. So, like, Cabot's on its way. It's only like five or six years old. But I think if you have to go to one,

you got to go to Bannon. Pinehurst we've never done. We talk about on the show all the time. We want to go to. Sand Valley, Lurch and I did this past summer with six of our buddies. Sand Valley, very, very, very cool. They had, like I said, the sandbox and all that, so I'm not surprised that that's up there.

And then the Cabo one we haven't been to. Honorable mentions to Aaron Hills, which we all love. We all have a very soft spot for Aaron Hills. There again, they're going to be tough to kind of like crack that top five because they just have one golf course and then a night putting course, which is awesome. But it's like, if you're really going to be. go somewhere. You probably want to play somewhere with five courses that are on the ocean, maybe more than

Aaron Hills. Having said that, we love Aaron Hills. So it's tricky. Arcadia Bluffs is in Michigan. That's somewhere that everybody tags us in that we have to go to. I think I want to try to do a Michigan trip next year. Gamble Sands is near Seattle. That's one that Frankie and I didn't get to hit because it's like two and a half, three hours outside of Seattle, I think. We were up there, but that is David McClay Kid built an incredible course there. Then I want to check out. Stream Song we've been to. Yep. Lerson and I did. We did it really quickly, so I don't know.

Can't give it a fair judge against the others, but it was spectacular. We did it in like a day and a half. Yeah. I'd just like to spend a little bit more time so I could like properly digest it. But it checks the box on a lot of the different things that you look for. The number one in the family category was Big Cedar Lodge, which is in Missouri, southern Missouri. Place looks insane. Yeah, it does.

I've heard just amazing things about that. There is a lot of one did that trip. We almost went there. Instead of our Pacific Northwest trip that Frankie and I did, we almost went to Big Cedar Lodge. Now, ironically enough, Big Cedar Lodge. Seater Lodge is where I used to vacation with my family as a kid. But this was like before I was into golf. Dude,

so I've like, we've like, some of the holes on these golf courses that big Cedar Lodge don't even look like a golf course. Like, I don't know how to explain it. Like the way they do the bunkering, like look at that thing. It looks like a painting.

It looks ridiculous. There's so many, there's so many bunkers that look. That looks, turn that to lurch. That doesn't look at that. I don't know how to explain that. Is that like even the hole?

Like, what is it? I think that's the range. I think that's the range. I want to say that's the drive. If that's the range, why there's so many bunkers? Trent, I feel like you look nervous, just seeing the many bunkers. I wouldn't like that.

You're living in a nightmare, right? Trent walks up the range just goes, ah! I'm trying to focus up here. Am I wrong? Because I've been wrong many a time. Yep. You like how I said that? Many a time?

Yeah. I've been wrong many a time, but is Tiger Woods creating a golf course at Big Cedar Lodge? Yep. That's going to be his first public golf course? I believe that's correct. And it's going to be a big Cedar Lodge. So is this like Paines Valley? Is that what it's called?

I've been trying. I don't know all the details. It's crazy. I also do, through the creation of Paines Valley, Tiger Woods and Big Cedil Lodge will offer a course where players of all skill levels will be able to enjoy the game with each other in the beautiful Ozark Mountain landscape. Now, we used to legit, like when I was a kid, we would go down to Table Rock Lake and we

would, we didn't necessarily always stay at Big Cedel Lodge. I don't even know if we ever did actually stay there. We would always take, we had like a little 19 foot C-ray. was like our little family boat that we had. And we would like park at the dock at Big Cedar Lodge and go eat dinner. We would do that like every year. So now everyone just keeps being like Big Cedar Lodge is this golf mecca. I'm like, what the fuck is going on?

You're like, I've been there, but like not really. Not really. Yeah. So now I'm rattled. So we got to get to Big Cedars on my list too. It's listed as the number one family. It's got the tiger building a fucking golf course there. So in the Northeast, there's a great wolf lodge.

And I always remember growing up. they'd always say go to the lodge go to the lodge go to the lodge go to the lodge that was a little jingle yeah and every time you say big seed a lodge and like I'm like you think of it yeah so big cedar is one then we got to get to but anyways I thought that list was interesting we can break that down more kind of nailed that jingle another time well I don't know if you nail it because you we don't know you're the only one that knows the jingle um then a quick update on uh Elizabeth situation I got some updates for my mom oh so a little set the table for those who don't know and alert. I don't know if you missed this. But we were talking,

Trent, Daddy and I were talking about some of our traumatic experiences we had growing up as the younger children being basically like beat up by our older kid, made fun of, mocked all this stuff by our older siblings. I've been there. Yeah. And Trent, then at the very end of that conversation just goes, my sisters used to dress me up as a girl. No, I saw that. That one was almost impossible to miss. Okay. Yep. And picture was laugh out loud and funny. People like that. Lurch, did anything like that happened to you? No, I just, like, I got killed my brother when I was a kid. Yeah. But that's it. I had nothing. I mean, that's traumatizing.

What I did was just like... He didn't pin you down and put panty hose on you? No, no. No, no gloves in a handbag? No. But you did look cute, I will say. You're adorable. By the way, do you think he was four years old?

He was four there? He claims. I think he was fucking nine. Dude, you got a little Andy Reed in you. If that's the case. You ever seen that Andy Reed picture? I know exactly what you're talking about. Lertz, what you're talking about?

And he looks like he's 32. How old do you think he was? I mean, at least nine. At least. Listen, you're four there? No. my mother, when I text my mom about, when we were texting back and forth about the picture, she sent it to me and I was like, how old do you think I am best guess?

Because the picture didn't have a date on. She said four. She's mistaken and I'm sorry. I don't want to speak about it. 14, I think she meant. Yeah. I agree. That's the first day of like middle school.

We went over this last time. Like on my way to get my driver's license in that outfit. Yeah, you're like kissing chicks or that. No, but it was like, I'm, I talked about this last time, but I'm just a larger fellow in general. Always happened. And every picture. It's deceiving. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

Big baby. I was a big baby. It's deceiving. My ages are all off. If you look at the pictures, everyone tries to guess. And it's like, no, I was actually, you know, three when people thought I was seven. So were you tall out of the gate like a big body always? Because I hit a gross part in like high school, like early high school.

But my brother, for example, he hit his gross part early. I mean, he's always been tall. But he was six feet, six one in the eighth grade. You know, so like, did you have that kind of early growth? I'm not sure about height. I just know that just generally large. Generally just big body. I'll say four, I would pound me over.

When I was born, they didn't even use, they couldn't use like the baby diapers. They got toddler diapers right away. They had to go to a different floor. They had to go to a different floor. They had to be like, no, no, the baby diapers aren't going to work, so we got to bring down the toddler. All right, that helps you case. Yeah, it does a little bit. So, like, I've always just been large.

So I agree. I don't look four in that picture, but I'm just going off. I'll say you look cute regardless. So what happened with Elizabeth. That little bit. Yeah, enough on me. So then I, you know, we all laughed at Trent. It was fun.

Well, then my mom texted me. It was like, I thought you were going to bring up Elizabeth when I saw the title of the show. And I was like, what the fuck you're talking about? So then she followed up with. So Elizabeth happened on Willow Court, which was our first house when I was really young.

She was, you were maybe three or four and involved an Amish bonnet. And, as I remember, an apron. Kate, who's my sister, remembers it as the Amish bonnet and a 50s poodle skirt. Kate would say Sam want to play Elizabeth,

and you would play willingly. LOL. That's my mom. L.O.L. A little closing L.O.L. And then she goes, as I remember, it had a little house on the prairie vibe to it. Trent should love that. I'm sure that was due to the Amish bonnet. hilarious. I told Kate, I didn't think you remembered it. She could not believe that because we've laughed about, quotes, Elizabeth many times over the years.

I love it. That's great. So I had the same thing. Unfortunately, there's no pictures. I would love to see a picture. I'll check. I'll obviously check. I'm going to inquire. I wouldn't be surprised. Now, I will say a parents just moved, they downsized houses to like a villa. So there's a chance that they've actually recently gone through and have some sort of organizational idea

of where the photos could be. So I will ask. And if there's a picture out there, we will, of course, get it. There's no shame in any of this. There's no shame in any of this. I've had people reaching out to me, tweet to me. What's that?

I don't think I did. I had two sisters, too. I just don't think, I'm going to text. It's incredibly common. I'll get through the bottom. Frankie, you have sisters. So there's a good chance. There's like a skinny little Frankie.

It was maybe a cuter girl than got. I can't tell you. How many tweets I've gotten being like, I know your pain. My sister needs to do the same thing to me. I think it's great. I think it's fine. I turned out pretty good. Anyone with sisters like I'm a middle child between two sisters.

Yeah. You get your fingernails painted. Like, I don't know about full outfit, but like painting your fingernails are like, oh, let's try to like put a bun in your hair. They treat you as like a dog. I guess I had older cousins. Girl cousins, but I didn't. I just sent the text message to my sister, Jenna. Did you guys ever dress me up like a little girl when I was younger?

We'll get to the bottom of it. I bet she says yes. I feel like she would have Girls they have these dolls And they're like, why don't we just use our human brother? Correct. That's way more, That's way more realistic than this just dead doll.

And apparently you willingly, I bet I didn't so too big fight. Trent, I bet you were jumping in those clothes. No way you're putting up a big fight. Those are your soft clothes as a kid. You can't be cried when the gloves did it. You're also going to wear the gloves.

You can't put up a big fight and also have gloves in a handbag. Like that's, you know, those are too technical to go. I was probably like putting those suckers on there. Oh yeah. Here we know. Hey, Dad.

It's God time. Your dad loses his mind when he sees you come out of the back room. I did say this on the last podcast. My dad has been radio silent ever since this story got out there. I haven't texted with him. We haven't called each other. He's probably just waiting for this to blow over and we'll talk at Christmas. He's having a good Midwestern beer watching an Iowa game.

And then you roll out in those dainty clothes and he just explode. So I'll be surprised if your sister says no. She said no with a question mark exclamation. point she's stunned that i would even ask that we definitely dressed you up like a little boy member boy band member though which oh wow on brand yeah that's cool that's great frankie man that's what they just tell

frankie yeah yeah yeah and then they're like texting on the side pictures of them all dressed up as a girl yeah i don't think so i think that's a traumatic i'm sure i also like i think you're not putting up a fight because your older siblings want to hang out with you you're like yeah hell yeah when you're a little kid i just play crash band a coup with my sisters that's a fun game a little different it's a little different headlines it's

rip through some headlines. Cameron champ. This was a feel, might be the feel good story in golf for several years to come. Wins a Safeway Open. It's his second PGA tour win, one by one stroke. His grandfather taught him the game, diagnosis past summer. I believe it's terminal stomach cancer is what I believe it is. Basically a relative home game to him. I think was it Sacramento that they're from. Sacramento, he drove, he commuted the 60 miles each and every day to the course. He skipped all the practice rounds, commuted to and from so you could spend as much time as possible with his grandfather ends up winning, pulls it off. He also, he's had like a pretty roller coaster of a ride on the PGA tour. He won when he first came out. He was, he got talked about all the time because

he's got the star power. He hits the ball farther than anyone else. I think it was like Brandel on our podcast or on Golf Channel or somebody one time who was saying that there are no, Cameron Champ hits it like 30 yards past Rory. We were like, wait, what? Like Rory, what are you talking about? So we had all that kind of star power and intrigue and excitement. Then he wins. He won an opposite field tournament last year. I think it was the Sanderson Farms. So he didn't get into the Masters with that because it was like HSBC tournament and champions, something like that week. So he didn't actually get into the Masters. Wins this, wins it by a stroke. They call the grandfather seconds after making it, him and his father out there in tears. If you didn't like tear up watching this,

you got a problem. You need to learn how to become in touch with your emotional side. It was intense. It was a phenomenal feel-good story despite the terrible situations, all that. He went on to say, I think knowing that I did it, that was my last gift to him. I told myself, I'm going to make the masters and going to figure out a way to play and play my butt off. So, again, like the last gift in his mind to his grandfather said, if he can hold on until April, that would be awesome. Obviously, the circumstances are a little different. But I think just him knowing that I made it and did it will definitely satisfy him.

So again, it was just, if you haven't watched the highlights, go back and watch it. Things got very intense down the stretch. We were just watching them before we even recorded of him playing a 70-second hole, hitting it in there, having to hit like a little tight-like chip, which I think no matter who you are from Frankie to like the best chipper in the world, that's going to make you nervous. He, like, clipped one in there with some spin to three feet, made the put. It was awesome.

It was just to do that with that much pressure, home game, family, emotion, all that is off the charts. So, congrats to Cameron Champ. Cool to watch. And then all of his backstory, too. And just go check it out. It's a great story. Go deep down the rabbit hole in Cameron Champ, his family,

the relationships, all that stuff. It's a hell of a story. On average, a burglary happens once every 23 seconds in the United States. That's according to the FBI. Approximately 2 million burglaries are reported a year in the U.S. census. 83% of burglars admitted that they specifically look to see if there's an alarm. Point being, you need to be. something to keep you safe, to keep your house protected.

What's crazy is that only one in five homes have home security, maybe because most companies don't make it easy, like our very good friends at SimplySafe. Do. Simply Safe product protects every door, window, and room with 24-7 professional monitoring. My folks use it. They've been safe in a very simple manner for a long time. Simply Save makes it easy.

That's why they're called Simply Safe. There's no contract, hidden fees, or fine print. Want a bunch of awards from CNET to the New York Times, Wire Cutter. Price is always fair and honest. One thing that truly makes Simply Safe stand out is their video verification technology. When other home security systems are triggered, a lot of the time, police assume it's a false alarm, which doesn't seem like what they should be doing. And the call goes to the bottom of the list, but not with Simply Safe, Simply Safe, not Simply Face.

Using their video verification technology, they are able to visually confirm that the break-in is happening, allowing police to get to the scene 3.5 times faster than other home security companies. I don't know why you wouldn't want that to happen. That's much better. That's much quicker. That's much safer in a simple way. For our listeners, SimplySafe has a huge deal going on right now.

Tony Romo also at the Safeway open, really dominated the headlines after Thursday. Posted a 200 par 70. Rightfully so, honestly.

The 270 shocked me. Yeah, he was tied for like 20th of the time. He was like, what the hell? Tell the score. It's a hell of a score. That's a good golf score, man. He had five birdies. Yeah.

You had five birdies on the PGA tour. You got to be kidding. I'm a giant guy, never a Cowboys guy. I always had a little, you know, knock on my shoulder about Roma. Wasn't a huge fan, but I was wildly impressed by that 70. Yeah, and think about, I mean, he must play a ton of golf, but like still he's on the broadcast team traveling around. He beat J.T. Matsuyama and a bunch of other guys. Right.

It's like, what? right they were they were listening a bunch of the guys that he beat which is very very funny if he committed to just playing like just like j t does over the last couple years yeah he's

always to qualify for the u.s. he's always up in there and up in the mix yeah he commits pretty hard like and i will say like i think him him shooting the two under this time of year was really shocking because he has a day job

like his day job is broadcasting football and being he's a lot of up there with NAC. It's crazy town that he can do that and then also go shoot two under on the PGA tour. That is stunning. That's not easy to do. You got to prep for these games. You got to know your shit. He's part of the eight. Like that's the eight. He's the eight. Yeah. It's not like he does like weird college football games on the like at weird times. He's the eight team with Jim Nance. 100. Like that takes a huge commitment, preparing for the games flying all over the place.

And then he shoots two under at a PGA tour event. That's pretty fucking crazy. It was crazy. I think it was Ravel who tweeted out like if he wins the tournament. I'll delete my Twitter account. That was getting some traction. Yeah, definitely. shot the two under. He also, like if he made the cut, he wasn't going to be able to do the game on Sunday. That became a huge storyline. Obviously, after he posted the 200, he followed it up with a six over paw, I think 78 on Friday,

which isn't a horrific round. No, he stretched the imagination. But missing the cut, so that kind of died that way. He said during the broadcast last night, it was great playing for a day. And then to come back to Earth on the next day, which again, we've talked about that. That's been a big theme on our show the last couple of months playing well. And then coming back to Earth, he told Jim Nance, which again, it's crazy that he just sits next to Jim Nance and then goes and plays golf really well whenever he wants.

You know, it was because I wanted to be here. I had to throw off a few putts. I didn't want to miss Minnesota, Chicago. I caught a little bit this morning on Morning Drive of Golf Channel. And no joke, one of the guys on there was arguing, like, his hard, hard argument was that, like, that, like, the network nor Tony Romo, like, genuinely was he ever not going to cover the game. that like there's just that just wasn't ever going to happen and he's like almost was arguing like no he like through it because like there's no way that they were going to let him he was all fun I was like what are you talking about he missed puts yeah he just shot of 78 like it's not that it's just

yeah that's not weird side to you think he can just go shoot two under every round he'd be he literally be like a top I mean he wouldn't be broadcast yeah I mean he just wouldn't be broadcast what are you talking about yeah that's a strange take it was insane I couldn't believe what I wouldn't have played in the tournament had he not been allowed to miss Yeah, somebody, I can't remember who was on there, but they were saying like, oh, yeah, no, obviously the arrangement was like publicly they'll say that he could just miss it, but like he can't. And therefore it just won't happen where that could happen. I was like, what are you? He's wrong.

What is wrong with your brain? Like, no, he was, we had a cool story going. He was definitely going to miss the game. Yes. That's why he joined the tournament. Correct. That's exactly right. And then they were having a big debate about like if they should continue to give sponsors exemptions to Tony Romo going forward.

I think it's a no brain. I think he gives sponsors exemptions. to anyone that can drive attendance. Yeah, the drive attendance. And, I mean, he clearly deserves to play. Why does he not deserve to play? He went too under. Like, he clearly has the ability.

You're going to say guys who are grinding who are like, you're, they're missing their spot. Is he looking for sponsors with that Logalus hat and shirt? Is he or what's the deal there? Well, Roma always wears like the plain black hat. Like, he's always a plain shirt. He's a plain guy. That's his thing. Yeah.

I also don't know. Is he like allowed to? Yeah, I bet that's pretty, I bet that's contractual. That they're, yeah, they probably are like, no, you need to rock. nothing. Yeah. We've done videos where they've told us that. Right.

Like you need to rock nothing. That's so on brand for him to just do blank, like blank. He showed up to the barcats. Even in like pizza commercials that he did, he would wear the blank hat. Yeah, he showed up to the Barstall Super Bowl party in Houston. And he was wearing just a plain black hat. And I looked at him like, you're doing the thing with the hat right here in front of me. Right here.

Right here. You're wearing the thing. I'm seeing it right now. That's his brand. That's his brand. Okay. Yep. The thing that we talk about.

You're doing it. Yeah. No, no, you're doing your thing. Look, if you've earned enough star power combined with being good enough at golf to even be close, like you're going to get, you deserve sponsors exemptions. It brought so much traction in that tournament that whoever he took the spot on. The ripple effect of all the storylines that he was creating by shooting a 70 from the deletion of the Twitter account to if he's going to be able to do the broadcast, drove a ton of traction.

Whoever spot he took, even if that person won the tournament, wouldn't even come close to as much traction as what Tony Romo shooting a two under on the first day. And it's that simple. It's business. That's just how it works. If you want the PGA tour, you want the purses, you want to have sponsors, you want to have title sponsors, you want all there that be this money and all this, that. You got to get eyeballs in order to justify and value all that.

And that's what they do. And that's so it's just a no-brainer. I think we all have brains. We can understand that. Roy McElroy kind of went all in on the European tour course setup out of nowhere. Yep. He, so, you know, they had the Dunhill links, which we talked. talked about last week a little bit really cool tournament it is a pro am at heart much like the

at t and t pebble beach pro amm uh so you get all these like you get kind of like a lot of high level amateurs from athletes to actors to you know all kinds of people you get you know the gist you understand how pro amps work uh it was at the old course carnoosti and kings barns uh three courses i've played no big deal and uh i was just right there i was walking it looking at all the setups of the whole course it was great that is cool yeah uh he then after finishing he came out and said, I'm sort of honestly sick of coming back over to the European tour and shooting 15-100 par and finishing 30th. I don't think the courses are set up hard enough. There are no penalties for bad shots.

It's tough when you come back and it's like that. I don't feel like good golf is rewarded as well as it could be. I think if the European tour wants to put forth a really good product, the golf courses and setups need to be tougher. Now, he's asked this, of course, like after coming off the golf course, you could be frustrated. It could be this, that, whatever. So you always have to like understand that when you look at these comments that people make that they, get from them like right after they finish a round of golf having said that uh you know people were tweeting out then the um the last seven winning scores and the pgator were 17 under 21 under 18 under 25 under

16 under 22 under 16 under um Daniel rapaport of sports illustrated tweeted tweet that out now again that's not still even with those numbers like 15 under wouldn't get you 30th like you'd be right there in the mix and a couple of those so it's not necessarily the same thing but the point being it just came off as a really bizarre, bizarre thing. He then today put up an Instagram, he said, I understand voicing my concerns about golf course setups in Europe to the media at a pro-am event on benign links courses, wasn't the right place to do it or the right people to talk about it.

I was venting yesterday, but I can assure you it came from the right place. Strategy, course management, and shopmaking are important aspects of tournament golf that are being slowly taken out of the game at the top level, not just in Europe, but worldwide. I personally like to see tougher setups in Europe because it will produce better, more complete young players in the future that can only be a good thing for the game and our rider cup chances going forward now we love rory on the show i think roy's very candid yep so we get a lot of good stuff out of him him spinning zoning this into a i want the european rider cup team to be better take it's some of the big maybe the biggest stretch in spin zone that i've ever seen there's

no way that he was standing there finishing the dunhill links roasting the european tour for how easy their course setups are that he in deep in his heart was like it's because i want there to be better than europe because like he expects us to believe that he was thinking so far in the future of like like young kids growing up in europe and like playing these courses and and and making european tour and needing shot management and then eventually playing against the u.s at like hazelteen in 2042 and bea being like like what are you talking about fucking rory you just blew up during a tournament you're met after that though wild effort though wild effort He I also like that he said I was vending yesterday, but I can sure you it came from the right place,

which basically means like I meant every fucking thing I said yesterday. I'm putting this up to appease you fuckers, but I meant everything I said. Also, it's like the next day, uh, Instagram like note post just shows it like, you know, you got to screenshot the notes app. Nike like Nike like wrote half this for him. Yeah. Like he didn't touch that note. His agent and Nike wrote that.

I bet you 25 people got into a meeting about what they should write and how they should spend his comments about Don Hill. He was probably like, I like this middle. For the kids. I like that middle part. Yeah, he was. He goes, yeah. I got one edit, and he just threw in this middle part.

I was venting yesterday, but I can assure you it came from the right part. It used to be all this, all one piece, and then he spaced it out. I'm going to put this in there. I'm going to put this in the 4th of July comment. Roy is an American. He's an American. He's an American. Come next year.

Yeah, he, and again, I mean, part of me hates to roast him for comments like this because if you're going to love someone because they're candid and honest and he fucking fires from the hip with the media. all the time he's not super calculated, then, you know, it's like also tough to like roast him if his comments are a little insensitive to this or that because you're like, no, that's what we like about you. Like that's what you feel deep down. The courses were benign.

They had like, I think they got in a bunch of rain. There's like no wind. If you get that on a lynx course, the course is just play easy. That's just literally how links golf has always been. So you got to understand that. And to me, he clearly, this is not like he just played an European tour event for the first time, thought this. and then fired it. Like, he's had that in his mind for years.

Right. Right? I really rather him just make the comment and then go on, go on. Which is what he usually does. It was weird that he put the Instagram up. Agreed. I like that he, like, I think he checked in at St. Andrews on the post. Is that what he did?

Did he? Oh, yeah, you're right. I love, like, I love like putting up a... He added a location. I love, like adding the location. Like, yeah, that'll do. And he's like, oh, St. Andrews. I'm here.

That's pretty good. I want them to know. You didn't even have to warm up that time. No, I know. You didn't have to hit the runway. St. Andrews. St. Andrews. Yeah, all at all.

I think Roy's. He's still Roy. The only thing I didn't like about it was the Instagram. Yeah, no. Everything else is fine. You can rip people. You're allowed to get mad. You're allowed to, like, voice your opinion.

I'm not going to, you know, rag on you for that now. Rory gives me off a different vibe than, like, if Bryson wants to do it. Like, I just think, like, you know, this is, like, if Bryson was to come off a golf course and say, like, it's too easy. I'm never going to win because, like, I'm shooting 15-9-under. I'm in 30th. I think I'd tend to say like, oh, he's like bitching and he should probably stop doing that. But for some reason, the way Rory does it, it's just like, oh, maybe he's right. I don't know why.

It's not even, yeah, I mean, I guess the reason that I kind of dig it and endorse it is because we've always been like, we want carnage. We want to watch guys struggle. We want it to come off more relatable to how we play versus like if they're just standing and they're ripping it 360 down the middle and then hitting a wedge to 10 feet in making, you know, half those pots and shooting 20 under, that ain't relatable. And that's boring. It's just, you just watch the same thing over and over.

It's stupid. It's boring. People haven't bitching about that all over golf Twitter for years now. About the PGA tour is too boring because it's just, it's just bombing gouge. And he's basically saying the exact same thing about the European tour. He wants to see there needs to be more creativity. There needs to be more punishment for bad shots, you know, higher reward for really good shots and there just isn't. So I agree with that to a degree.

Now, you know, I don't want to go down like I don't have all the numbers in front of me. I don't know exactly if there's merit across the entire European tour that is. It's too easy. That finishing, that shooting $1,500 makes you finish in 30th place. I don't know about all that. But on the whole, I do think that it would be a lot cool. Or, of course, it's just generally played harder. Like Sawgrass plays hard, pretty much.

I mean, occasionally you get a year where it's playing soft, where Webb Simpson with his 30 hybrids can shoot like $20,000, whatever the hell it was. But for the most part, like, that tournament's really compelling to watch because there's trouble everywhere. The guys struggle. Bay Hill is another one that comes to mine where it's like, I feel like I've seen guys win Bay.

a hill at like 500 par before. As a regular PJ tournament, it's why we love the U.S. Open. Guys struggle. It's really, really difficult. You're not going to see guys shoot like 20 or 2,500 par almost ever. Usually it's around even par that wins it. So if that's Rory's sentiment, I agree with it.

Tiger Woods, quick update, full clearance to practice. His knee is, quote, sore. He said I got the clearance last week to start full practice. Played nine holes the other day. He told Strayhan, he did a little thing at Liberty National out for the Nexus Cup thing. He said, it's sore, yeah, but now I can start lifting and getting my muscle back and getting my weight up. I saw this quote in this article that made me laugh and said, according to the Golf Digest, Woods didn't hit any full shots during the Nexus Cup, but did look, quote, spry. I like spry.

Great work. Great work. Yeah. Uplifting work. Sprite is fantastic. Oh, yeah. What was the move? What moved the tiger make out there that the guy was like, yeah, he looks pretty good.

And he's like, whoa. Sprite. He's spry. Like, did he jump up? Not a hopped out of a bunker. Yeah. You know, he like hit a good bunker shot. And he like did the thing where you kind of like pop up pop to your step.

Yeah. It had to be something. Something had to escalate it to a level where he's like, that's a spry person. I think getting out of a bunker is for sure spry. Yeah. And the guy had it in his notes like Tiger looks good. and then he crossed it out after he saw that was like spra. Or if he hit like a, like, he wrapped it around a tree and then like did a little like shuffle out into the fairway to see like where the ball was going to land or something like that.

That's that's spry to me. Like, you know, he hits a nice like low hook around a tree and then like does a quick little right to left shuffle. Yep. Yeah. Sprite. Sprite. Yeah. It's got to be some sort of.

Whatever was it happened because he was looking spry. I mean, spry could also be like it was a brisk morning and Tiger like took off his, his like, quarters if him was rocking like. like a nice shirt and he's like ooh that guy's looking spry right now i don't get that it's more the bunker one yeah i think it's definitely more the bunker one it's oh you can more the bunker confusing like spry and fly no i'm not no i mean i know a fly means no you can appear to look you can't appear to look spry i think so i think you can yeah i think it's fine but you know like edgy and like move like you know movement like the the definition of it says in quotes especially of an old person yeah active not good

Right. Active and lively. So you can like, if he took off, if he took off like a thick quarter zip and he was like he stepped up to the T and like a nice tight like like like. But if you said he is looking like oh, he's looking spry. He's looking active. Yeah. Why is that not correct? You can't look more so like it says it right here.

Active and live. Yeah, yeah. So, but I wouldn't take that as like looking like. Like, all right. When kids. All right. Here's like a paris. I wouldn't say always.

Just stop speaking. When not when, when Kisner was walking. When Kisner was about the man's playing. I'm going to golf explain this. When Kisner was showing up to Bethpage, he looked the opposite of Spry. He was wearing like a hoodie and like the most ridiculous thing around is like, it's like, yeah. But like he was not like active or lively. He looked like he was sleeping and like he was like he was hibernating.

Yeah, I'd say you could look spry if you have like really good posture and you're like. Dude, when we saw Tiger get out of his car, he looks spry. He looks spry. We're like, holy shit, he's the only guy out there wearing a fucking collard, a t-shirt. Remember that? Yes. But you're not, he's talking about. clothing.

You're talking about his posture and how he's like moving. He's saying clothing is part of it. I didn't have to be after a swing. I'm like he could have walked out of the clubhouse. Everyone could have been cold and Tiger could have like ripped his cord to zip off and like step up to the tea. Like holy shit, this guy's looking spry. All right? All right.

I don't see it the same way. But, you know. Whichever, whichever definition you subscribe to, Tiger was that way. Lurch, let me tell you something. Shut up. This is going to be awful. The past weekend I was working at the restaurant, right, at Borrellys. I see this dumb smirk on your face

And I'm like, oh, God And you know, I'm doing You got a little story time here? I got some story time So the past weekend I'm working at Pirelli's And you know These guys and I'm bartending

I'm guest bartending, right? I do it from time to time I do it from time to time We serve drinks Because you own the restaurant Pink Whitney's Who I'm San Vodka Good stuff

So these guys are like Hey you know I'm buying them drinks And when you're a bartending You have to like at some point Like cut it off right Because like the people have to go home You Lurch

Like you stay there all night and if the guy doesn't tell you this is the time we leave and then you got to make the decision well I don't know I mean you told us the story about how you drank a thousand drinks like the leaving thistle so I don't know yeah all right so anyway so these guys are like buy us one more drink and I thought when they said that I was like that's kind of fucking like up front

and like what do you buy you another drink like what are you insane so I said all right if you're going to get another drink you're going to have to play a game for it like we're going to play a game you know what I'm saying yeah so So they said, what's a game? And I said, well, the game is as simple as this. It's, I go into the back of the restaurant. I grab something and I bring it back here.

I shove it up your ass. And then if you can guess what it is, you'll get a free drink. Okay? One guy's like, that's a fucking weirdest game ever heard. I'm out. The other guy said, I'm all in. Let's see it. So I go in the back.

Let's feel it. I go in the back, right? And I'm like, let's do this. And I grab a pepper shaker, right? And I'm like, you want this to happen. and you really want this drink. He's like, give it to me. So I shove it up the guy's ass.

And he goes, it's a pepper shaker. I'm like, you fucking played this game before, haven't you? And he goes, I swear to God, I've never played this game. I'm just good at it. Like, this is what I want to do. I know what that is. It's a pepper shaker. So I give him the shot.

I go to close up the place. He goes, hit me again. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? You want another? He says, yes. So I go on the back. And then this time, I grab the dough roller from the pizza from the pizza man. I said, if you can guess this, you're going to get a free shot.

I shove it up his ass. He goes, that's a dough roller. I can feel it anywhere. I know it's a dole roll. I said, you've played this game before. There's no chance. So he says, hit me one more time. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me?

So this time I go to the bathroom and I grab the, uh, the fucking, um. Plunger. It's a plunder. Yeah, plunger. I mean, it's obviously like a joke you tell with your bartending friends. You just use plunger this time. Oh, so, so you play this game. No, I mean, he just, he sucks.

That was unbelievable. I mean, you didn't get me. You didn't get the target. Oh, you got it. You got Andrew. Yeah, you got Andrew. You got it. Was that on?

Was his mic on? Could people hear that? It had to be on. I mean, I didn't get lurch, but I got it. You got it. I mean, I was like, well, part, you didn't like, you didn't tell it like it happened. You told it like you were telling a joke. Well, obviously I'm not shoving.

Obviously, I'm not shoving it up someone's ass. I know. I know. But this kid was hook line sinker. Hes slinger. Plunger. Andrew, you got Andrew. You're trying to get lurched, though.

So on the last show, I said, I was going to tell a joke. This guy told this joke to me at Cherry Valley Country Cup. He got you. Dude, he was an old school bartender. He got Franks. I always hear when you said you were going to tell the joke. Oh, my God. Dude, I'm telling you.

Unbelievable. I looked at him about your fucking way. I got him. You broke my brain. Yeah. I was in. Yeah, but you didn't know this. You didn't know that was part of them.

No, he had no idea. Dude, I hope people can hear you just scream plunger. It's a plunger. So this guy's telling him. us jokes, right? He's like this old school waiter. His name's like Frank. He was saying all these like off-color jokes to me, like, getting me, like, he was getting

me like crazy. I'm like, holy shit, this guy's like bullying me, right? And at one point he tells this joke and he's telling it so good because he's like an older guy you'd never expect him. He's told it 10,000 times. The way he's told, tell him like shoving up the ass, and then he goes, so I go in the bathroom and I grab the, and I'm like, plunger. And he's like, what do you fucking play this game? And everyone goes

nuts in the bar. I'm like, ah, fuck. I'm like, get me out of here, man. Get me out of here. You know? I definitely want to get out of here. That's tough. So I've heard some mixed reviews about the joke. The joke does well at the restaurant. My dad will now tell the joke and people love it at the bar.

Your dad's a big joke. He's a big joker. Number two is it's a little long. So if you can eliminate the second grabbing of the thing up the ass, you may be able to hit the people better. Just talk quickly through the part of the story that doesn't really matter. Like you're going back to the back of the bar. So I quickly grab a salt shaker.

But that's the thing. You go to the back. And then you have to say, then I go to the bathroom so that now they're thinking bathroom. If you just say I pick something up, they won't immediately think plunderer. Yeah, yeah. When you do the- Well, that could be anything.

That's it. Yeah. So for the people at home, you've got to do like a motion of the plunger real quick. And it works. That is a plunger motion. What other items do you do that way? None. That's true.

I can't think of another eye to be hold that way. Everybody knows it's. I got a hold of a shake way one time at a bar in Boston. Well, if you're well-endowed, man, maybe someone. I was working that thing. Double-handed. Yeah. But all I'm saying is that, like, if you can get through it quickly,

I got through a little slow. Yeah. To be fair, it was only to you. Usually when you're telling you to a group, you're going to get one person. Like one person is going to, like Andrew, just going to scream plungers. Yeah.

And they do it instantly every time. So if you want to tell that joke, just do the little, the little, the plunger motion. Yeah. I said I wanted to get you, but it's also hard to, like,

direct it to you. It's hard to, like, direct it at a person. Yeah. I tried to get you a couple of times because, like, I'm trying to act, like I hadn't heard it before. So he said on the last pot, he goes,

I'm going to do a joke next show and we're going to try to get lurch. Andrew was very much your plan. Because we didn't connect on a spry joke, and then he tried to come at me with that. But you said, like, I was bartending, so I actually believe that you were actually bartending. And then when you change it over to, like,

a different tense, no, a different tense of, like, it being a joke or, like, a story that wasn't you, by the way you were sharing it, I was like, I don't even know what the fuck this guy's getting at it, but, like, you've lost my attention. Yeah, no, I know.

And then, but you didn't lose his because, dude, I would look over. His posture right now is spry. It's like, almost he wants it now. I'm just grateful that I'm not on camera for any of this. Dude, Andrew was in the back and he just goes,

it's a plunger. Andrew goes, it's a plunger. Yeah, no, I stopped the store. I'm like, look then.

These two lost it. I hear the dead air. Like, I'm in producer, like hear the dead air and I'm like, somebody say something. This is killing me. Yeah,

he's in, like keep it moving. Come on. Yeah, you just got it. You got it. I can't tell you how loud I said plungeer at that chair. Oh my God.

The place went crazy. Dude, because I didn't, it was an old guy. I'm like, I don't want you to mess up the joke, man. I'm like, it's a plunger. It's a plunger, dude. You're doing it for him. Yeah, you would have thought Vince Carter threw down a top of a dog. So all the four-play listeners, I know someone's going to go out and they're going to say this joke on the golf course.

So they're going to do it. Make sure it's quick. You don't have, maybe you can eliminate the second thing that you shove up the guys' ass. No, I think the second thing helps. You just got to tighten it up. Tighten it up, make it quick. And also tell to a big group because not everyone's going to say plunger. But make sure you do the nice double hand jerk motion.

You are right. You get people who they think you're blowing it and they want to help you? That's what I'm doing. That's one of the joke hits. That's, well, yeah, you have to get that hook. That's the hook.

But the problem with today was I was so stunned that Andrew said that. I didn't hit him with the, what do you fucking play this game? You almost need to guide them along when you're telling them like the salt shaker. You're like, so I went in the back or then I just wanted, not, you know,

not salt, or the pepper shaker. So I grab the pepper shaker. You know, like stutter over one word to glue them in so they're ready to help you the next time. They think you're a mess. Exactly.

This guy's fumbling. Then you're like, fucking do it with the plunger. It's like, oh. And then like, you know, you get the pizza roller this time. We go back out quickly, you know, give him another shot. He's all like lubed up. He's like, just one more time. So then I'm like, I got to fuck with this guy.

So I go to the bathroom this time. Yes. And when I get in the bathroom, I get the, you know. Yeah, the plunger. Yeah. And then I'll light them right up. So you played this before. Yeah.

So good. That was a bumbers. You didn't get to deliver the time. I know, I know. It's all right. It's a tough setting. You'll learn. Maybe we'll do it.

It's a tough setting. This is a part. This is where he tells stories. Maybe we'll do it. No, because you can't visually see on the show. It's tough to direct that joke to one person. You got to draw one person in.

I was like, I was looking at you. You wanted me too. I wanted me, you were my target. And we got a stray. And I was kind of knew that you wanted me too because we didn't connect on a spry. And then when you started telling the story, you had this like, dumb little

Frankie like, I'm going to get you smirk. Yeah. As soon as you had that, I was like, well, fuck this guy. I told this joke at a wedding recently with all my friends.

and it just didn't hit. Did it? Oh, Frankie. Oh, I just got, oh, oh, well. How did it not hit? Like, people walked to wear? No, no, we were sitting at the table, and I was telling it, and, like, people realized it was a joke, and they were into it, and then someone interrupted me to my right and, like, asked a question to, like, a waitress

or someone, and I stopped, and I was like, uh, and like, I just, and then it just lost all momentum. Like, I may have had some people, they're like, what the fuck's his story? And this one guy across the table, he was, like, a sweaty, like, chubby guy that I was, like, he was, like, the life of the party. he totally he like he was locked eyes on me even during the times where i like stopped and i was like i was like you know what the jokes over he's like no tell the end of the joke and i was like well then i went to the bathroom he's like you got a plunger i was like what is this guy play the game and like everyone was like okay like we get it like whatever yeah yeah it's got

he came out to me at the end he's like i can't believe you fucking got me i was like dude like i could have like that that joke was over 20 minutes before you yeah exactly that's good well you know i'm like one for i'm like four for seven when you did in the first time in the office when you got hubs and and Nate. The whole place went crazy. Yeah, that was a good one too. Didn't you get a couple of it at the same time?

Yeah. Yeah, that was a big one. You had a big audience. Nate was like, it's a plunger. I was like, oh, God. All right. Well, I got Andrews, so whatever.

We're done here. Great show, fun time. Good catch up. Nice to see everybody again. Good to see you. The welcome hugs when you guys came in. Yeah, he did. He hugged Trent and then Frankie

refused to hug him, so he went and hug him. We won't talk about it, but it's a hockey season. Banner Night, Wednesday night. St. Louis Blues, St. the Cup champs. Islanders capitals at the Nassau Coliseum.

Do you know the over-under for Islanders wins this year? I don't. I would love the pound. You don't have Varla-law on my fantasy team. I think he's going to be good. He's going to play half the game. Yeah, great year last year. Yeah.

He might play a little more than half. Yeah, Grice is fantastic. So it's like... Season-long bet, more wins, Rangers versus Island? Yes. Yeah. In. What's the bet?

I mean, I would assume that the islands are probably like 90, 90 and a half points, 90. 90.5. Can you look it up? Are you looking at it up? I'm trying to right now. Just go. So the New York Islanders are. I'm just saying more wins, Rangers versus what's our.

Oh, no, that was last. You're just doing it straight up. All right. Straight up. No, yeah, I'll take it. So, yeah, hold on, go down. So the Islanders are projected 94.2 points. The Rangers projected 89.5.

Last year, the island is going straight up, bet. Why don't you guys do steak dinner? Steak dinner. The other guy. And me and Trent will go. Yep. And we'll pay for our own. The loser has to pay for the other guy.

Right. Love it. The reason why I'm very confident in this is that the New York Islanders have a in which they will not lose that many games. Right. I think that they're going to be pretty similar. Well, we'll just say.

I think it's pretty similar to last year. I agree. I think they'll have a great system. I just think, I think the Rangers are actually. You're too high. You're asking the Rangers are coming in hot. Andrew's a huge.

Andrew can turn his mic off right now because he's not involved in this conversation. He and Andrew are going to start getting into fights because he's like a no one. I mean, this side of the room hates. Right. Here's the part. This is a problem. You're a quick right.

This is a guy by the way who the background of his computer screen is the Rangers losing in the Seneca Cup final. Correct. It reminds, yeah, it's been that for three years. It reminds me how close you can get to your goals. And then never to give up because you can get so close. Henrik-Luick was got so close. It's not a positive reminder from his own team how much he loves them.

It is the worst moment in the Rangers like since his lifetime. Yes. And here's the thing. You guys are expecting the Rangers to go from 78 points to plus 90. Yeah, we brought on some players. We brought on some players. Some of our young talent. are going to really step up this year.

We'll see. I'm going to opening night. Did you say the Rangers, Islanders at the Coliseum? Both games. Wow. January twice? January 16th. Everyone wished my dad, happy birthday.

Happy birthday. You guys are a huge birthday family? January 16th. Not yet. Put it in your calendar. Put it in your calendar that my dad's birthday is January 16th. Call up Borrellys and say happy birthday to my dad. That'd be a nice thing to do.

I can do that. I'm going to put it in my calendar right now. The 16th of January? January. Three and a half months away. It's going to get so many. It's going to come up. Fast.

How many times you think we get reminded about that from now to that? How many times do you think people call him? I think a lot. I think he'll get a ton of calls. Dude, it's a busy fucking night, too. That might ruin the business of the restaurant for the night. He might just be fielding calls of happy birthday. You might have screwed the restaurant.

I know. Don't do it. Wait times just go out through the roof. Maybe you come to Burales and wish him back birthday. It's got to be done in person. Spets some money. Got to be done in person. What's a good time for me to call, Frankie?

I'm putting in the day. You know? Early in the day. You know? Early? Midnight. Early in the day, you know? I'd like that.

Rangers Islanders? Yeah, I'd like that. Yeah. Everybody do a home and home. I won't take you. I'll invite you to the garden. You invite me to wherever. I'll accept now because I know that the Rangers one comes first at the garden and then I just won't bring you to the Coliseum. I'll just go.

11 a.m. I'm going to call your dad. January 16th. Amazing. That's so nice. I won't bring you to a Ranger game. Hey. How about Sir Nick Falo cooking dinner?

Holy shit. That's actually where I thought you were going with a restaurant thing. That was off. The shirt. That was one of the. I was one of the most shocking things I've ever seen. Came out of nowhere. Someone tagged me in it.

Actually, so I guess he's like, he has his new, well, no, because he didn't tweet it out. His, like, girlfriend has a Twitter account called, like, Sir Nick Faldo and then whatever his girlfriend's name is. Wild. Yeah. It's a clingy Twitter. Sir Nick Falts.

It's called Sir Nick Faldo and Lynn's Marie. So, Lynn's Marie is a former, uh, topless dancer in Florida. I read up on this. Okay. And she's, like, been through the ranks of, like, guys. like apparently she like gets married and then like moves up their ranks and guys and then like sir nick valdo has had some like marriage problems and now they've linked and like they're just they're just living life now like cooking food and like living in florida and sir nick's like

like living it but all i know is and these people are great right like we've met sir nick valdo and he is a fantastic bought us a bunch of whiskey there's a picture that i got tweeted at me from this account who had like no follower so i knew that it wasn't uh i knew that it wasn't sir nick and all of a sudden it's like him cooking inside his house in a barrenica Raleigh's restaurant t-stering. And I was, I was floored. There's four pictures of them in four different,

like locations. Like, one's like, one's like a straight ad campaign. Like his back to you, but it's like turned back to the camera, but you see the whole back of Raleys, it's insane.

He's like turning around and smiling this one. He's just like, Frankie, I saw you tweeted. I didn't even respond. I just gave it an instant retweet. I was like, oh my God.

I was so floored. Like, it got a ton of likes on my Twitter. Oh, I'm sure. It got like, How could it not? Close to five thousand.

You think when people take shirts from, well, they do wear them when they take him from barstool, but you gave him one of Borrelli's like, I wonder where that's going to end up. And he's got it. He has it. He kept it. And he's wearing it while he's cooking Italian food. Someone screenshot the logo and was like thoughts on this white supremacy stuff. Damn.

Because I have the Berle's logo. Like a guy saying okay. And apparently that's like problematic on like 14. That is crazy. But whatever. You need to get one of these pictures signed. Yeah, for sure. I mean, he legit, he went to like his drawer.

and was like, you know what shirt I'm going to go with today? The Borelli's shirt. One of the all-time European golfers of like ever. Yeah, ever. Is he the? I mean, sir, Nick. Is he the? Yes.

Is he the best European golfer of all time? Yes. I bet he is. Is he? I mean, maybe Savvy's up there. Rory's still coming too. Yeah, Roy's still coming, but you can't say he's the best. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I would say there's a very serious argument, especially with how much success he had in Rider Cups that Nick Fowler is the greatest European golfer of all time. He's wearing a... He's cooking in Borrellas. So great. And he's... That's like his Italian cook shirt.

He's also continues to, like, grow, you know, his reputation of Bram because he's a team on CDS's golf coverage. Totally. What a guy. It's like... What a guy. And he's standing there with his topless girlfriend or whatever you described earlier. You got rid up on her.

She's like... She seems like a character. Cooking in his broil. He's got his dog here. He's got the dog here. He's just cooking up his Thor, man. We ended the show 20. minutes ago.

This is incredible. I love this. Sir Nick. With that, I think we're done here. All right. Everybody have a lovely. I sent that picture my dad and I think you start crying. Everybody have a lovely week.
