It's fucking, this guy's fucking Internet, man. Brand new apartment, it's so nice. It's like right there by the ocean. Just can't fucking... Now he's just become a purple. He's just a purple thing.

You just can't get the Internet, dude. Four players right, Barstool Sports. We just had a countdown, which I don't think I've ever seen before on this very podcast. There was a, there was a countdown. This is very official. I don't know. It was, yeah, it went from six, too, which I did not like. You got to go five or ten.

Like, that was a weird number to start. It started at six. Yeah. Yeah, I started at six. I did not like that. So, yeah, I hate that. So if there's a counter set. They did that to us during the, they did that to us during the, sorry.

They did that to us during the three end the other day where the lady said, on three and she goes three and took a photo. Oh, yeah. I don't like it. What's with the trickery? We don't need trickery. Just be straight forward. Be straight up with us.

Come on. It's like an option which can take out. No, I don't, I want Trent to do that. I still clapped. I'm never going to stop clapping until I lose my hands. Well, all that did was delay the clap by six seconds. That's the only thing that that whole thing here.

To be fair, we complain. Remember when it first started saying this meeting is being recorded? We hated that. And then we came to kind of like that. Yeah, that's the tube and the guy, the jerk off guys rule. That's where that came from, we think. Yeah, you were being recorded. Here's what's really happening is that we're using a different like software to record this and our flow is off.

So in the first, I don't know, minute of listening to this, it sounds like a train wreck. I mean, we're just all talking. We don't know where each other are. I mean, the boxes are all over the place. I'm looking at you guys. I can't see you guys. It's all completely different. I don't like change.

I like to just do the thing that I've always done, and this is a completely different system. So I'm having trouble flowing with the podcast. I'm just going to be straight up. Same. Same. It's a morning podcast, too. It's just different.

We look different. The boxes, you guys are different shapes, I feel like. Transfrozen. You're a little wider, usually. Trent's frozen, but that's kind of just the beauty of his new apartment. So, yeah, it's a wild start. I'm going to go ahead and just shout out Calam Terran, our guy. If you did not listen to the end of last week's show, Thursday's show,

go check out the last 15, 20 minutes or so. Just complete beauty telling amazing stories about basically leading the U.S. Open and playing so fast that he was never on any of the coverage. And he's awesome. And he told us he needed essentially a top 10, he thought, to really be in a good spot for locking up his future with the tour. He grinded on the Chinese PGA tour for a while. And he finished tied for seventh,

which gets him to a hundred and 26th place spot. So if he has a couple good finishes in these last few weeks, weeks. He's good, but he's also good because everybody keeps mentioning there's going to be a bunch of live toward dropouts. So if he's 126, he's going to be at least 125th come the end of this whole deal, if not better. So amazing stuff out of him. He posted like an eight under, I think, 64 on Friday. And then yesterday, he closed with like a back 930 to vault his ass up into the top 10. He finished tied for seven. So way to go for our new friend and Englishman, Collum Terran, fucking great performance. Amazing.

Truly amazing backdoor. Brock Nelson, American Hero is like the biggest Callum Taran fan of all time because he played with him as well in the 3M. So texting me the whole entire week saying, no way is this guy actually doing this. Had a tough front nine on Sunday. And it's like this guy's got to light the world on fire on the back.

And then he goes birdie, birdie on 10 and 11, which oddly he kept doing all week. He just kept birdying the turn. And then like you knew he had more coming in. He has 18. And then he like birdies like 16. You're like, what the fuck is this guy doing?

Fuck, did he end up finishing like four under on the back or five under in the back? So it was truly an unbelievable back-nine performance to then possibly. So now there was a lot of tweets about not getting his card because he's in 126. So he still has to perform next week or something like that. I don't know how all the world ranking, the rankings work, the PGA tour rankings. But apparently he's in 126. You got to get the 125. But he put himself in a really good position by finishing top 10 this week.

So I'm not sure how it all works. I actually love to like ask him. Well, he- Five under clothes and Bertie's the 18th. Amazing. Amazing. Frankie, he's 126, but there's going to be a bunch of live dropout. So he's going to move up because those people just are going to cease to exist on the leaderboard.

And then also he's still got a few weeks to play. And not everybody's going to play. So he most likely, as long as he doesn't like puke all over himself, he's pretty much just going to be in the top of 125. If you're in the top 125, you get your card with X status. You make it to the FedEx Cup playoffs and all that hoop. So that's kind of where he's at. He's amazing. He's an amazing, amazing golfer. He's like on fire right now.

The guy can't miss. When you're looking at Kalantaran's stats, you're like, there's no way he makes a boge. He only makes birdies. When you're watching him, I have that little star next to him on my score at. It's amazing how many birdies he actually makes. Now, I know he didn't even come close to winning the golf tournament. Like you've got Tony Fee now that just made a lot more birdies than he did. But Kalentarin is a fucking force.

You even say his name now amongst buddies. No, I remember talking. And they're like, oh, yeah, I know that guy from the U.S. Open. Like, he's becoming a name now. I remember I was talking to Brendan when we were filming with him at the 3M and just watching him pound the ball and play well. I was just like, think about how deep the PGA tour is that this guy is a relatively unknown. I mean, the U.S. Open thing obviously gave him some notoriety and we brought him on the podcast

and we won him to finish top 10 and get his tour card. But just think about how deep the tour is when we watch that guy play. And I'm thinking this guy. guy's a stud and then he's just scratching and clawing and we got his whole story on the last podcast or two podcasts ago I don't remember and these guys just have to work so hard but these guys are so good and it's still impossible seemingly to get your card and make a decent living and have a pretty normal life it's pretty amazing phenomenal stuff it also just goes to show you how much it matters having some sort of personal connection to a player just how invested I was

in his performance he I went to the leaderboard the only two things I looked at were Sam Ryder and Collum Terran because there's two guys that we played with in the pro-am. So it's like Golf Man, if you can find that connection, it's like Kisner Effect is probably the biggest example where Kisner went from just the most mundane blends-in guy on tour to just our guy. And people, Roof 4, mate, no hobbies, got a whole merch line and all that. And Calum Tare, I mean, we even know, we walked up to the T, had no idea what to expect. 10th T became our boy, and he does pound the golf ball game time. So you want to go to a tournament here in the future.

asked me to remind folks as well if you are a pro shop or if you're i guess work for a pro shop if you are a pro shop you're probably not listening to this podcast because you're not a real living you're just you're just you're just there if you're not doing anything so you're just holding your arms out You're there until they tear you down. You're not listening to a podcast. Well, technically they can be listening to the podcast in the pro shop. So maybe the pro shop is like, this podcast is pretty good. I don't like the new interface.

But the pro shop probably can't interact with what I'm about to say, right? Like the pro shop might be listening due to someone else playing the podcast, but the pro shop you probably cannot proactively follow up without I'm about to say. So if you work for a pro shop, where I would like you to do is email wholesale at varsetports.com. if you would like to sell our merchandise in your pro shop. We could do some collaborations. You could just get orders of our stuff and put it in your pro shop.

So if you work at a pro shop or if you work near or do you interact with what goes on in that pro shop and you are capable of emailing people because you're a human being with a conscious and all that, then please email wholesale at barstoolsports.com and we would like you to sell our merchandise. Speaking of merchandise, we just released the brand new G4 Barstool Golf Collective. collaborated shoes. I, for one, I'm the biggest fan of these things of all time. They're the MG4X Squared.

And then also the gallivanters, is that the other one that we're doing? Just the cleanest shoes of all the time. Let me talk to you about the X squared. They might look a little funky just off the first rip, right? When you look at them, you're like, I've never seen a golf shoe like that.

When I tell you, the way these things feel in real life, you've never felt a golf shoe like. this. So much so that no matter I wore them in Scotland so much because the ground is so hard and I needed a soft shoe that was going to be extremely comfortable and durable and get me through the entire week that I no matter what my outfit looked like and I'm like crazy with that. I want to make sure that I'm matching and I look good and the whole thing. I wore these things with every single color under the sun because I couldn't take them off and switch to another shoe. I just couldn't. They're so fucking comfortable. It's like walking on a cloud. So now

go to the barstool store you're going to see them there if they're still even available when you're listening to this thing you have to go check them out they're all over our social media go click on the links i'm telling you right now you're not going to regret buying a new shoe and then my last point on this and i'll give it to you guys all these responses we get sometimes where they're like riggsie's got to fucking stop typing like that sorry um it's okay uh all these responses you get like 250 bucks see you later like what the fuck is this i used to the light bar stool and these shoes are $200,000. First of all, they're G4 shoes. That's what G4 shoes costs. And also, you don't have to buy them. We're just saying, hey, if you have the money to buy

these amazing top of the line shoes that we just put out, then go ahead and buy it. We're not holding you down and being like, buy the fucking shoes. And if you don't, I'm going to fucking kill your mother. It's like, dude, you can just keep scrolling and be like, hey, man, one day maybe I will afford those shoes but for right now like i work at a fucking like whatever i'm in high school and i like can't fucking buy golf shoes so like i'm not going to do that you don't have to get mad about it you don't have to get angry about it like you don't have to buy those shoes you can buy whatever shoes you want i remember when we put out the um definitely if you're listening buy whatever shoes you want i remember when we put out the transfusion collaborated ones which were great as well these i mean

everything we do with g4 is amazing um and a guy being like you got you're going to sell four pairs of those. And I usually I don't care about that stuff because I know what we do. I know that people buy our stuff. And those people overall don't matter. They're just they're trolls. If they don't want to buy them, they don't have to buy the shoes. But I remember I just quote to you and I was like, they already sold out. We sold hundreds of these. Like some people don't know what's going on. But they dictate what they think is going on by jumping in the comments being super mean. And then people being like yeah, that's fuck yeah. I like that. That's awesome. But it's not the truth. The truth is these are going to sell and they're going to sell well,

just like the transfusion ones did, because people who like golf like cool golf shoes. And if you don't like golf or you don't want these shoes, also we're getting mad about something to be expensive. It doesn't make any sense and it only works apparently on the internet to be able to complain. Do you walk into like the more expensive clothing store in the mall and be like, I'm mad about everything in here because it's so expensive. It's like, no, you don't.

But online, it's like, we're just selling the better stuff. we've gotten yeah they're just great shoes that's the thing it's like they're great shoes when you they're the price yeah they're expensive but like i have so people might complain about the price but what i don't ever hear complaints about is how comfortable or like the lack of comfort once they're on your foot like those shoes are my favorite shoes on the market right now galvancers i wear for like a prepier kind of nicer club experience but if i can rock those sneaks it's like they're they are clouds Like that foam soul is outrageous with how much give it is.

It's so comfortable. Yeah. Also, I couldn't agree with you more, frankly, it's insane that people, I mean, they're not being held hostage and forced to buy something you buy whatever the hell you want. If they're too expensive, just scroll past them and don't buy them. It would be very funny if people walked into stores and just went, this is too expensive. And you're like, well, there's just another store right next door that's not as expensive.

You walk in there if you want, it's free country. But what I think about two, A, golf, golfers generally have some disposable income. Golf's expensive. Everything about golf is fucking expensive. So if you don't have that, totally get it. But the other thing I would say is like a pair of golf shoes, if you spend like $90 on a pair of golf shoes or $225 pair,

that's usually your pair of golf shoes for like a couple of years. And that's your go-to. And you're going to spend $50 to $200 for a round of golf pretty frequently and play at least a handful, maybe 15, 20 times a year. Like, just get the best. shoes, in my opinion. Like, at that point, like, clearly you're going to be spending X amount of money on golf throughout the entire year.

I think the $50 to $100 difference or whatever over the course of a pair of shoes you're going to be rocking, my personal opinion, those shoes make a huge difference, having the best ones that are most comfortable, that are awesome. So that's where I come from now. If you clearly can't afford it, but I really doubt that you're sitting there can't afford it being like, fuck these guys for building really cool shoes that are high quality that in order for anybody to make any money and turn of profit, they have to charge certain amount of money. Fuck those guys. It's like it just doesn't make any sense.

No, that would be great. And G4 has done all their research on what it's supposed to cost for those shoes to like actually be a thing. And that's the price that they came up with. So at the end of the day, it's just, it's like buying a Mercedes or buying a fucking Toyota. It's like, what are you going to do? You have one choice or you have another. One car is going to be a lot better than the other. And you have a decision to make and you make the decision. And if you get the Mercedes, you're going to be rolling in style. And if you get the Toyota, you're just going to be fucking driving a Toyota. It's simple as that. So the new. shoes are really cool. You should go buy them. I think you should really go buy them if you're listening to this right now.

And if you don't want to, then just don't buy them. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. You're getting a lot of compliments. I'm telling you. Tony Fienow, Notches is his third, I believe, PGA Tour victory after Scott Pearson pretty much choked all over himself. I would like to make the point of there was a lot of chatter and debate in the comments back and forth again about whether Rory choked or not when it came to the Open Championship. this was a joke. What Scott Piercy did was choking. That's how you lose a golf tournament. That's how you lose a golf tournament. I mean, the guy makes a triple, made a million bogeys.

You shot like 41 in the back nine after leading the golf tournament and being 20 under. That's just a joke. That's what happened there. Dude, there was one clip. I forget what hole it is. But I remember the hole because we played it. But I think it was, I want to say 15. I don't know.

It doesn't matter. But he was in the bunker and he was standing oddly. and there was water all down the left, and he just hit it, and it went directly into the water, and it looked like a clip from breaking 90 or breaking 100. It was just a guy who didn't know what he was doing on a golf course. And, yeah, that's a choke job.

When it's clear, when everyone's starting to tweet, like, oh, my God, oh, my God, explosion happening at the 3M, that's a choke job. Rory was just like, you know, a couple of putts didn't fall and Cam Smith caught on fire. Scott Piercy choked it away. Tony Fienow tried to. On 17, he pulled that shot,

almost put in the water, which I also did on that same hole at the 3M. And then he put his 18 T shot in the water. And he just, so he got in. He luckily had a big enough lead where it didn't matter. He would have to make like a 9 on 18 for it to go to a playoff or whatever. But yeah, Scott Pearson choked. Tony Fee now tried to, but he got his third win. I'm happy.

It's funny how it consistently stands up that it's just really difficult to win golf tournaments. And also it's really difficult. to hit good golf shots when your nerves change, when you just can't feel your arms or when you're standing over a ball, it's already hard enough when everything feels perfect. When you're on the driving range, you're in a, you know, you're, you've had a couple good nights of rest and you're stretched out, you're warmed up, and you're really in a groove. It's hard enough there when no one's watching to hit good golf shots. Now you take yourself out of that into a completely, you know, a world of discomfort. You're in a discomfort zone. You're nervous. You're not thinking about

things the way you're supposed to. Your hands and your nerves and the end of your fingers don't feel the way that they normally feel. And now you have to try to go hit one of those golf shots too. And especially on the PGA toy, that golf course is really hard. We played it. It's really fucking hard. And now they're out there with the wind and everything else going on.

This isn't even a major. This is the 3M. It's just hard to win a golf tournament, man. It's really, really difficult under all that pressure to go hit good shots. And you see it. And it's like they almost just pass the baton of who's going to try to choke next. It's like whoever's leading just starts to hit shitty shots. shots because it's really hard to play golf when you're when you're that nervous so um so yeah a good

finish at the 3m uh and we were up there so obviously we had a little bit of a connection to it but tony fien out gets it done he's kind of winning a couple golf tournaments all the sudden good for him yeah it's amazing you know about that 17th hole and i can't stop thinking about it because i had a match we're going to have a video coming out but i had a match against brock nelson at fucking tpc and this rule that like no matter how so the grand stands on 17 go behind the part three and to the right of the par three. Whole thing. It's like a stadium type seating.

No matter how far right you go of this green, it's an automatic drop, free drop because of the grandstands, just right in front of the green with an amazing opportunity to make an up and down for three. I'm telling you can literally hit the ball 300 yards straight off the tee to the right.

As long as it just goes anywhere on the right. There's an infinity zone that are right. You have to find your ball, but then you have to just say, oh yeah, I'm just going to walk, 150 yards to the left, drop it right in front of the green and make a three. No problem. Meanwhile, me, as a lefty, or if I push one left, I'm just in the water, hitting three.

Like, I'm in the water and then I got to maybe hit it from the T-box again because it crossed right by the T-box. And then I make a five or a six. This rule about the fucking grandstands is insane. And something that we don't think about as average golfers nearly enough. They have, they have unbelievably easy rules when they play on the PGA tour compared to just a regular Joe Schmoe. Yeah, I agreed, and it's quite stupid.

And what they do with the British Open is what they should do, where the British Open, they have, like, specific relief areas from grandstands that are just in horrific spots. Like, they have, like, waist-high fescue, and they're like a little white circle, and it's like, yeah, there's a drop zone up here in the grandstand. On the tour, it's like, you get, they basically put it on a T for you. It's crazy. And you get to just, so, so, yeah, I don't blame you.

for being upset for you. I mean, Brock, Brock hit one off the planet. It also happened to be a three, and I hit one in the water, made a five and lost. It's like, I don't understand why.

You're living, though, you're, this is a different, this is a different discussion, though, if you pull that fucker, and then you get to drop right in front of it. It just happened at a pivotal point

during your mess. I mean, it puts it over the grandstand. It's the, I mean, it's the best rule of me. Yeah, we don't even mention it. Yeah, we know. It's the best rule in the world.

I totally agree with that. And I'm more mad that I didn't know the rule. until so I think he hit first and then like I would have just slapped one as far right as humanly possible instead of even trying to go for the green and then like after because I'm thinking all this guy's dead I mean did you see

how far right that ball was he's got to hit over the grand said he's done it's 15 and then all of a sudden I hit mine dude we found we ended up finding it yeah we found it on the next T box of the next hole that was like a hundred yard walk it was crazy the guy made a three it was like nuts whatever fucking drives me crazy that rule is the nuts

I just, you know, it takes us. I don't think I'm sophisticated in anything. Definitely not gambling.

What about pizza? You sophisticated? Not one thing? Oh, speaking of pizza. I got to give a shout out to my man Trotty. My man Trotty, I sent him ingredients for what my cousin, my dad, what they're doing at Borrellys. We have a new pizza truck, and they're like making dough specifically for that, for that type of oven, quick style, quick, quick burning type of dough. You need it really fresh.

You need a certain type of dough. I sent him the ingredients for that because he's been using a little mini oven at home trying to make pizza. says it was shite and that his kids are like saying that we don't even like to eat pizza anymore. You're ruining. You're ruining pizza for us because you keep making this bad pizza. And I need a good ingredient to start from the scratch and make it good. So I sent him these ingredients and he's been sending me videos from like every single step. Like it's they've been unbelievable videos that honestly I think I need to like piece together and put it out at one point because like he's so, so invested in making this pizza good.

and like at one point he made like 19 pieces of dough where he's like we're having pizza for the next month he's like every night the kids asked what's for dinner he goes you know what it is it's it's pizza tonight it's just and like I can even play the audio of like how starting my poolish wait so watch this guy one two three four five six seven eight nine ten pizzas to eat in five days and no mates I mean, when we left him in Scotland, he was so invested about, like, pizza, he just got that, like, that kind of like pizza oven. And he wouldn't shut up about trying to make a great slice.

So he finally made one and it came out amazing. The video was great. You see people in the background, like, clapping. He's, like, he's finally proud of his pizza. And you can tell because he's gotten shit for, like, he's gotten shit for his pizza making skills for the past month and a half. Yeah, his kids were always pissed when he was making pizza. So hopefully that world's changing. Oh my God.

See, you're pretty sophisticated about pizza. You gave him fucking ingredients. And you're sophisticated. Wow. Sophisticated on like your terminology. Like the way you say mozzarella and other bullshit terms, I would say that's for you. Or is that like snobby and douche? Bullshit is what it is.

Well, I would say those terms are pretty close. I've got the, um, I pulled up the definition of it because I wasn't sure exactly. Having, revealing or proceeding from a great deal of worldly experience and knowledge of fashion and culture. Yeah. I don't know if you can be about pizza then. I guess number two is that it's

developed to a high degree of complexity. Yeah, it's sophisticated almost just means like fancy. Yeah, we're not fancy on this show. We don't want to be fancy on this show. Really, real quick, I want to get a plug in early in the show speaking of being sophisticated by stuff. I like to think that

I like to know how to play the drums a little bit and I've been playing the drums for a long time. I need to make sure that I get this out there early in the show. If you're in Jersey or if you're in the surrounding areas of Jersey, we're playing in Atlantic City this Saturday night. Atlantic City at Anchor Rock Club. You've got PFT, Rhone, Robbie Fox and me. We're going to put on the show of a lifetime. Go get tickets. You can look at it on my social media. I'm going to have them all linked out. Make sure you go get your friends. Send all the text messages out right now. We're going to have the night of our lives. Lives.

PFT, when he gets invested in these things and he starts ripping the guitar, he just bought a brand new guitar. And he is so fucking ready to shred your faces off. I mean, he's like the best guitarist I've ever seen in real life. Like he could be in fucking Led Zeppelin if he was born in the fucking 60s or 70s. Fucking nuts. How good this guy is. So go see us.

I'll say hi to every single one of you and I'll give you a drumstick and you can squeeze my nipples if I rip my shirt off after fucking playing the drums. That is a guarantee. Maybe not a guarantee. We'll see if I rip my shirt off. I might. I might. I might rip my shirt off.

I might not. So how many people are supposed to go to this concert? There's like hundreds. Yeah, I mean like, so you got a couple hundred people squeeze your nipples. I would take it.

I'll take it. I would take it. You just milk me like a fucking cap. Like, I'll take it. I want, I'm ready for, for milking,

so. Like, eight runs in the fight. This fucking, this guy's fucking internet, man. Brand new apartment. It's so nice.

It's like right there by the ocean. Just can't fucking. Now he's just become a purport. a purple thing. You just can't get the internet, dude. And Alex,

when you're editing this, I know that you're getting all the fucking audio sent directly to you, but like try and put in how bad that sounds just for that moment for us. So people know why this,

this podcast is not flowing and we're talking over each other. It's a great ask. I would love nothing more than that to almost be the promo. Right. Like, I feel like I'm talking over people

a lot today because I genuinely can't, I can't like, see you guys like everything's like the connection sucks Trent has never been there and it's like we keep it's just I would say your face though Frankie looks great like your coloration I don't know I appreciate that it's whatever it is but I think you've got I was on a bunch of that I was on a ferry yesterday I went to fire island um I went to like that Flynn's area that place is nuts um and my fucking hat flew off my ain't no hobby I love that hat my ain't no hobby Kevin Gisner hat flew off the ferry. It just went,

woo, and just flew. So I finally got a little color on my face where I usually have a hat on. That was like a bad moment. Like everyone's laughing at me, the whole thing, so. It's gone? It's in the ocean? It's just gone. Absolutely gone. It's what the sharks are. I don't even really know what Fire Island is. I keep hearing about

this Fire Island. Fire Island is a town, it's like an island that is just off of where actually Trent and I live. And you can take the ferry right in Trent's town. You just go right out there. It's a 20 minute ferry to this island it's actually like you can live there there there's a there's a school there but the population is mainly just summer people um they have summer houses there and there's just a bunch

of bars and it's a cool little beach town um yeah it's fun it's a really fun place there's always different like areas of fire island that are like for specific types of people that like like to get all fucking weird and wild and everyone love i'm a big fan of fire island and everything that goes on there so um it's fun place you just get shit face and then you're just like on a ferry like getting sunburnt and it's like very sandy and it's just one of those feelings that you it's a very specific feeling when you're on the on the ferry coming home all right um yeah i've heard i don't know i think zach Zach's like pumped about going to fire out yeah there's a gay area of fire island there's a gay area fire island there's no there's no denying that i mean it's

like yeah it's just known for that they have like they have that makes more set because he's like he's like all but he keeps talking to me about like i'm supposed to know i'm like i don't know what the fuck you're talking about it's oh but then there's like a college like area this So there's all like different, like, it's almost like New York City. How you have all different like boroughs and areas and like whatever, different types of bars. And that's just what Fire Island is. It's like a mini crazy place. It's nuts.

There's like no rules. I don't know. I would love to get out there. It sounds fucking great. It's like international waters. There's no rules out there. I have to just comment that the Smiley Kaufman, Justin Thomas and Max Homa, have been just piling on about my putting stroke over the last several days on. on Twitter, which overall is a good thing.

It raises engagement. But Smiley is now DMing me where he's like, all right, I'm really invested. Are you right eye dominant or left eye dominant? Are you like, what's the history? He's been getting really into it, which I very much appreciate. And I know JT and Homa, they get a bunch of engagement. It's low-hanging fruit. I mean, we're amateur golfers.

We stink at golf. So obviously when those guys are the best players in the world come over, it's just like what Nick Faldo used to do, where you just come over the top. it's going to get, I mean, they're just going to get, they're going to get free likes and retweets all over the place because they're coming at something that they're the best in the world at it. We're obviously going to be a fucking billion times worse at it.

But they've been coming after my putting. Also, give some context to that for anyone that didn't see on Twitter. So, like, how did this all start? Well, I've just been posting the Daily Nine, which we've been doing for years now, of myself out there putting. And Smiley Kaufman, a few days ago, maybe last week, something like that, just responded to one of them being like, you know, comments about it, about where I should put T's down, I should do this, that,

to try to stop taking the putter so far inside. And then Friday, I think it was Friday, the one that I posted. He was like, you should try cross-handed. I was like, I'll try cross-handed. So I put a video out of me trying cross-handed putting. And then Justin Thomas, I think, said like, or Max Homer said, maybe you should try a hockey stick. And then Justin Thomas came and said,

I think he has a magnet on like his right shoe, from like his right ear to like his right shoe. And then they just kind of went back and forth over that. And throughout this whole thing, again, that seems a little bit malicious, a little bit mean. There's a little boy in there. I mean, all those comments feel a little nasty. A little bit of bully.

I would agree. But throughout that, that made it a little more friendly, was that Smiley has been DMing me in a much more helpful manner, different ideas and things that he would like me to try. So I appreciate that Smiley Coughbitt of all people is jumping out of the clouds here, being like, all right, I'm the best that I want to help this whole thing out. And usually, as you guys know, I'm usually a pretty decent putter. So it's sort of like, do I want to be, do you want to be changing everything?

Do we have the time to kind of change everything? But also, I don't want to get fucking made fun of by all these assholes on Twitter all day. So anyways, I thought we should probably at least mention that. Yeah, it's hilarious. I mean, they just tee off. I mean, same thing happens when, like, Ryan Whitney tweets about. about anything with me with hockey or something. It gets a billion fucking likes.

And you're just like, I don't know, you just have a really, really big following because you were the best at what we're talking about in the world. So yeah, you get to win every single argument. I don't know. It's a good place for them to be in. It really is. It does suck.

When that's your, I would say that's your best skill. Maybe wedge game now is better. But I would say putting is like, it's up there with whether it's putting or chipping is like your best skills by for totally like yesterday we played a huge singles match i don't i made probably i probably made 10 or 12 putts between like 15 and like six feet like everything that's like in any way has a chance of where you might make it went right in the heart of the hole and it was like pouring them on then i go look on twitter and it's like fucking oh maybe you should attach a magnet to your fucking right

here you know you're like all right anyone's going on here so yeah you're right that is i'm like that's my best skill and that's the thing I get made fun of for probably the most. So it really leaves you in a weird spy. Like, Jesus, my game is a nightmare. I had the driver Eips yesterday like you've never seen before. Oh my God. I got it out of singles match victory, just scraping it around like I usually do. My irons are really, I had a couple birdies.

My irons are really good right now. But I just was in a pretty hungover state where you're already like jittery and uncomfortable. And then I just had the super blocks with the driver. I hit one good drive the whole day and the rest where I'm talking missing fairways by 200 yards out to the right. That driver game I use is really stunning right now. Like it's in a bad spot. It's a bad spot.

Holy cow. It's one of the worst spots that one of us have been in, I think. I've been in really bad spots with chipping, but I've been able to avoid it by like you can just put it or you can just like whatever. Like you can just get away. You can't get away from hitting off the day. It's really a bad spot to be in.

You have to hit off the tee. And I will say, luckily, I have that three wood. Like when I can go to that three wood and I'm hitting it pretty good, I can move it out there enough that like I can play the holes. But like if you just got, I mean, Trotty, my favorite was when Trotty just brought it up at the end of the trip and was like, all right, now that the golf's over. What's the deal with the driver? I was like, yeah, I probably need a driver. He's like, you've got to be able to tee it high and let it fly.

So we've got to figure that out. That's just got to come at some point. I was thinking back because I It was so bad yesterday That I was like how did I stand on the first T in the pro am And stripe one? Like that is a miracle That's one of the great miracles in my golf career

That actually happened. I know We had three absolute bombs I mean I think I out drove Sam Ryder at one point Like that drive for me was the best drive I've ever hit in my life We just like something happened to us You like piped a draw like it was like It's insane I don't know what happened

Trette hit one, like probably 2.45 right down the middle. And then Brock hit a duck hook into the houses, which he knew was going to happen. All four of us had Pipe showed one right down the middle. And then, of course, Brock still made a five and, like, won the hole against me. But whatever. It is what it is. But whatever. All right.

We got Brooke Henderson won the Evian yesterday in France. It's their second major championship. I just, I really wanted to bring that up. Obviously, congratulations, great for her. but just to remind people how big Brooke Henderson is in Canada. She's like the biggest fucking athlete in Canada. She's just enormous. And I was at the U.S. Open with, I think Stanley, is his name,

who does a lot of the Adam Stanley, who does a lot of the Canadian, like PGA Tour Media. And I was sitting with him on one of the shuttle rides that we had just going over and talk about it. And he was like, yeah, I was listening one of the shows when you guys mentioned or you read it from the gallery from somebody that was like, you guys don't understand how big Brooke Henderson is in Canada. She's just like the biggest thing in the fucking country from a sports perspective.

It's like Connor McDavid, Sydney Crosby, and like fucking Brooke Henderson. That's crazy. She's enormous in Canada. And obviously we have quite a few Canadian listeners with chicklets and barstools, pretty big in hockey culture. So that blends over with Canada. So congratulations to Brooke Henderson. It's her second major.

I think it's been like six years since she won a major title. So great work from her. I'm sure people in Canada are going fucking nuts. Yeah, she, I saw a little bit of the clothes. She birdied the last, what she needed to do to solidify the victory. Yeah, she made like an eight-footer on the last hole to win, which is fucking badass. Right. And I just remember her, like, in person, it's always different when we're at, what was that Diamond Resorts?

Or what was that event that we all at? The Hilton Garden Resorts or, what's that? They changed the name a few years ago, but it used to be the Diamond. But anyway, seeing her swing the club while you looked that up was like, Hilton Grand Vacations. Is that what it was? There you go. Yeah, she just can really, like, she makes a great pass, as we've heard Trotty say now that he's on.

She sends it. It's really impressive the way she brings the club through. So anyways, congrats for her, because that's obviously major and a big win. She absolutely sends it. I mean, she's like John Daly. She's way past parallel, and she just absolutely lets it rip. And then they change the rule with the length of the driver. So she actually had to, like, shorten her driver, which I know she was rattled about,

because she was using a really long driver in that really long, you know, fluid swing and just absolutely ascending it. And now she just won her second major. So congrats to Brooke Henderson. And yeah, seeing her, that was probably from that tournament. We interviewed a bunch of people. It was great. But that few days we had in Florida at the Hilton Grand Vacations LPGA, like the pro am, that was what stuck out with me the most was watching her hit drivers on the range. It was like, holy shit.

She was just absolutely smoking drivers. So congrats to her. And then a quick shout out as well to the girl that finished second, Sophia Schubert. She was like five for ten on making cuts and just like limping along in terms of financially. Major Brooke Henderson pockets a million bucks. And Sophia pockets $586. So not nothing in terms of cash for both of them. But congrats to her because that, you know, if it's struggling golfer, that can make a huge dent

and just be able to live life and get into game of golf, keep reinvesting her. herself into it. So job well done. Yeah, I think I saw she was like in tears afterwards with the runner up being like, hell yeah. It was bigger for her than Brooke, honestly. That's right. She's like winning. Like whatever. I just made 500, you know, grant. So, so yeah, awesome, awesome story. It reminds me of the Callum Terram interview where you really realize like when you are grinding it out, trying to make it in a sport, which is getting a lot of, you know, spotlight on it now about how you got to kind of like, you got to catch what you're going to eat in professional golf. And he or she is out there that just made over, you know, half a million dollars.

So awesome, awesome story. Good point there. Trent has given up on his internet. If you're just listening to this and you haven't noticed that he hasn't been here for the last 15 minutes, he just can't get in. Yeah, he gave up. What happens when you just can't get in? How does that happen? Like, how do you just not get in?

The internet doesn't work? You think he just or you think he's like. I've never seen a give up move, really, to be honest. I'd never see just he just resigned from the show he's like yeah I'm just I can't do it like even on the phone like you could call Trent right now and he would be able to speak to you so there is some sort of baseline solution there but yeah he just yeah I mean you could just go I mean we've done it we just cover your stuff to your phone you just call we could just send him probably phone number and yeah you could just be on the show but I think he's he's tapped

out he's probably he's probably frustrated probably really frustrated when you can't get internet to work dude and fucking Docs. Yeah, his answer would be like, I just can't get on. But like, you know what I mean? Like, I can't. There's nothing I can do. I tried.

I tried a lot. He kept trying. And then he just probably closed his laptop. He's like, I've given up. I can't. There is no more to do. It must be a laptop issue because he says like the TV's still run and like that's all hooked up to Wi-Fi.

And it's a brand new apartment building where like they came in and did the Wi-Fi. I'm talking like this thing just went up like last year. There's no like old wires and shitty Wi-Fi. Like, fucking place that's brand new fiber optic speed. So, yeah, I mean, there's got to be something wrong. Somewhere on Trent's level. I think Trent is the thing that's happening. The issue.

It's a human issue and it's Trent's issue. It's not a building issue. It's not whatever fiber optics. It's a T issue, I think, on this one. Yeah.
