Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello, everybody. This is Commissioner Riggs. Very interesting show. We've got here. A very different show. We have been traveling our asses off. We've got myself in Boston for the Barstool Classic, first-ever event for our new tour, for our new golf tournament. I break all that down. Meanwhile, Frankie is in St. Louis. He's walking through what feels like a war zone or a political convention or something. He's in St. Louis for the Stanley Cup final.

And then we got Trent Addie and Lurch back in New York. It's a crazy show. We've got two people calling it at the same time. There's a lot going on. It's a few minutes shorter than usual. Our travel's just been crazy. It's still a hilarious show. I still think there's a ton of good stuff in here.

It's just a couple minutes shorter because we're traveling. We're all over the map. Wednesday we will be recording. Thursday show will be back to normal, and then we're pretty much right into Pebble Beach and the U.S. Open where we will be all week. Big reminder, Supreme Golf, they are the only tea time app that you need. They're the best tea time app on the planet. They've got everybody else you've ever heard of, and then just a ton more tea time.

So not using them makes zero sense. SpringGoff.com slash barstool. They're giving away $1,000 to 10 different people between now and August. So you should use SpringGoff. Supremegolf.com slash bar stool. Go to your app store. Download Supreme Golf. They're the best.

That's the only app you should ever use when you play golf. Speaking of golf, let's do this. Somebody's going to fight. Talking into my ears. What is happening going to be like? Guys, I got to be honest, this is probably going to be a short-lived appearance on the Foreplay podcast from your boy Frankie,

Bud and Edis Borrell. Because I am in the mix right now reporting live from St. Louis. We are here for game. Four, is that what I'm at? I honestly, I've been traveling so much. I can't even tell you what my fucking name is. I haven't eaten a real meal in like 11 straight days. It's just nachos and chicken fingers.

I feel disgusting. The blues are trying to tie up the series right now. We just did a live show at the Ballpark Village in St. Louis. Right outside the stadium, it's a fucking scene out here. I mean, YP brought out Boris, the little fucking rat, and he held him up like he was in the Lion King, and the place lost their shit. Like, it's been, it's insane.

Like, this is, this is, it's an insane scene, but I'm holding it down for the St. Louis boys. I know Riggs is out at the Barstall Classic. I'm excited with the little time I have to hear how that went. So, Reg, how did that fucking experience go? Because I saw a lot of the clips today. It looked unreal. So, let me tell you about the Barsto Classic. There's a million different things that I thought would have happened, would have gone wrong,

would have been a complete and utter fucking disaster where Barstool Sports. I mean, last week, Frank, and I did a podcast that just didn't record. We couldn't even do a podcast. And now you're telling me, Barclosports are going to put on a nationwide, eight different events, six different cities, golf tournament that's going to produce some kind of champion at Liberty National, which is the same fucking venue that they produced, like, the President's Cup champions and all that.

No, absolutely no chance. Last week, late last week, I don't want to get into a riggy weather thing, but the forecast was like, you know, 62 degrees and 80% chance of rain. Not a cloud in the sky the entire day, 68 degrees, just beautiful. And legitimately couldn't have gone better. I'm very worried. I'm panicked. I'm wildly nervous, to be honestly, about the next seven venues,

because if this one went this perfectly, the next one has to be an absolute clown show disaster. But it was great. We had the putting contest. I put this impossible put up there. And again, it sounds like Frankie is in the middle of a fucking, It does. It really does. Yeah, I don't know if it even, like, if it helps this podcast for me to be honest.

It's just crazy noise. I mean, people are just, like, smacking each other in the face now. Like, it's just getting really rowdy. Like, I'm just watching, like, it's just rowdiness. I'm just in the middle of rowdiness. So, to get back to the classic, because I'm in Boston, we got, I'm in Boston, Frankies and St. Louis, lurch and Trent out here in New York. It's just a crazy scene.

But a couple highlights of the classic. Number one, you know, we did this big putting contest. Shows, a truly hard shelter where the winner of the putting contest. I got to interrupt you. I mean, Frankie, can you go on mute? Do you have mute on your phone or any? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Is it a damn?

That's where you got to go. You got to go mute and then take it off the talk. I'm going to mute. Now it sounds like a bus or somebody's food is ready. Or a fire alarm or something. What the hell was? Fire alarm. I don't know what's going on with Frankie.

But anyway. A couple highlights of the classics that I want to start off with. First, you know, we're doing this putting contest, $750 to the winner of the putting contest, which is a big fucking deal. $750 putt's a massive thing. So we did the whole deal where, you know, I put the put the put putt pretty hard because I only wanted like

five or ten people to make it, and then they go to a sudden death, create some drama. You know, I'm a little bit of a drama guy, all that kind of stuff, a big deal. Well, only like three people make this putt for the first half of the day. And then this one group comes through, all four people in the group made it. It was crazy town.

Like the first guy makes it, we're like, no way. Second guy makes it. We're chirping the other two. Like, there's no chance you guys are going to get humiliated. How brutal is it for the first two guys to make it? Then you have to follow that. Next guy cans it. So the last guy's like, well, this sucks.

I shouldn't even hit it. We're all going nuts. There's a congregation around the green. People are flocking from the clubhouse. They're flocking from like the ninth green, the first tee. Like, what is that commotion over on the putting green? And fourth guy comes up, you're like back off it twice, and then hits one, it curls right in there, goes in. We got one guy's running around the green, like flapping his wings.

It was an absolute scene. The putting contest was a highlight. The golf course, people should have understood this. But also is a very difficult golf course. I'm a huge fan of Carnage. We've got the U.S. Open coming up soon. Our very close personal friend, the United States Golf Association, we'll be putting on that event. You've probably heard of it.

We always root for carnage in that thing. So naturally, I'm going to put on a golf tournament with a third. ton of carnage. There was only, I think, five teams out of 54 in a two-man best ball net event that finished under par. There were only five teams that finished under bar. That's how hard this thing played, which was spectacular. And I loved every minute of it. But it was great. People were out there drinking truly. People were fired up. People were shaken. They were so nervous. It was also great, like, you had legit, you had these normal average, like, weekend golfers out there playing for like the biggest thing they've ever played for, you know, $10,000

for his place. You get to go to Liberty National. And then as they're hitting putts, we had like all these cameramen that don't know anything about golf, like shoving a camera off people's throat as they're like lining up their putt being like, what do you think about this one? And the guys are going to putter back. Like it was incredible. We had one time where this guy first hole in a day rips a drive down the middle.

He's like, man, I was so nervous. I feel great. Get down in the middle of fairway. He's got like 150 out. Camerman shows up, like, stalking him. Guy chunks one from the middle of the fairway. Camerman rushes right up into his face and goes, why did you decide to lay up on that one?

It was such a scene. But it was people took, you know, like there was always a concern that people were going to show up. It's bar stool. It's open bar the whole time. People were just going to get annihilated. It's not going to be real golf. It's going to be more of a shit show and, like,

tailgate there's a golf tournament. people were like all the other help and the staff, the HBO people were there doing their thing. They were like, I am stunned at how seriously people were taking the golf. People took it very, very seriously, especially the first nine holes. I mean, you're paying 300 bucks. Like naturally, you're going to want to take it pretty damn seriously. You can go to Liberty National. You can play for the trophy.

You can play for 10 grand cash. So people took it pretty seriously. But it was awesome. It went really smoothly. We got six teams that are going to the championship at Liberty National. they booked their tickets. Unfortunately, there was no controversy, really, which is a bummer. I was rooting for controversy, obviously.

And there was no playoff. I wanted there to be a playoff. So, like, the head pro, he goes, yeah, every time we do one of these tournaments, we always root for no playoff and no controversy. I was like, I root for the exact fucking opposite. And unfortunately, we didn't get that. I tried to, like, fabricate a little bit of controversy over an incorrect scorecard. But I'm not an incorrect scorecard guy.

I mean, that's the dumbest rule in all sports. Like, what happened was these two guys, because, you know, it's an official event. Like, you keep the other team's score. And they just wrote the other guy's scores down wrong. And then everybody signed the card. And then when we came in afterwards, they were like, no, he actually had a three there, but we just wrote down four.

And I was like, did every group, did everyone in the group agree that he made a three? And they're like, oh, no, he definitely made a three. We just wrote it down wrong. And I was like, well, then you're good. Who cares? And a pro is like, well, technically that's a disqualification. I was like, well, technically, it's the commissioner rigged's fucking event. That's just what they made on the whole.

everything's fine. I mean, that's how the PJ two should handle it, but they haven't figured it out. I think that's a great rule in Progressioner Ridge right there, one for one. It was a good rule. But it was great. Then I had to do some speeches afterwards, which, you know, they were a little tense by buddy Josh,

who you guys know really well. He finished, he barely qualified, finished fifth place, I think, so they're going to Liberty National. And then I introduced him, and I gave everybody a signed flag for qualifying and all that. and then he nooted me when I went to shake his hand. Oh, that's, come on. You've been getting a lot of that recently.

That's tough to see. It was a loser move, to be honestly. I'm sure Josh has listened to this. Just a big-time loser move. He's a huge team, Portnoy guy. Right, yeah. He wishes he was Dave Portnoy more than anybody in the world. It was a big-time loser move.

Outside of that, everything went quite swimmingly, boys. It was a great classic. So you didn't have to do any sort of any other commissioner rig Steppens, like you said with the scorecard, any sort of any rulings or any rulings or any. you had to separate any fights, anything like that? No, there was, unfortunately, everybody got along really well, which was a bummer. And then also, you know, my biggest thing was I arrived really early,

and there was the 11th hole out of Wallston, and there's like a back key that is like you have to hit it clear over the water, water all down the right, and it's like a 2.30 clear to like cover and get over the water. And me and the pro had a big debate for like 10 minutes beforehand about if we should put the tea all the way back there or not. I wanted to, obviously. And he was like, play is going to come to a screeching halt and take like six and a half hours you put the tea back there.

So ultimately we didn't do that. But these are just kind of the difficulties of commissioner duty. Nobody really drank too too much, which, again, was kind of, you know, I was looking for a little bit of flair, a little bit of controversy, maybe a little bit of a ruling where I had to kick somebody out of a group because they're too drunk and affecting the group next to them or something like that. None of that. Like, literally none of that happened.

Everything just went really smoothly, which, again, was very surprising. Didn't create the most crazy storylines or whatnot, but everybody that was there had a super fun time. So there's pros and cons. But again, I just, I wish there would have been more controversy and more shit to go wrong. Chris and Riggs just wants to. You got to be part of the tournament more. You got to be Vince McMahon, apparently. For these future events, you've got to think of, you know,

storylines and narratives and traps that you can set for these guys, so maybe you get a little bit of controversy. I think that's what you're saying. Yeah, Ray, it's reducing controversy out there, man. It's fucking getting crazy out here. It's getting louder, man. I'm in the heart of it right now. God, damn.

Just, hold on, I'm actually doing a four player right now. You guys listen to that podcast. You have a title with that on. I'm doing a four player right now, so I'm going to have to, yeah, just one second. I'm on this little phone here. I've got to get, I'm just in the mix. I'm trying to run away from.

people. Sounds like it was unreal. I saw the putting content. I mean, this is insane. There's no way I can talk on this podcast like this. I mean, keep going, Frank. You sound great. No, you're on a rip break. You're doing great, bud. Well, I mean, you guys are just they're wearing their titleist hat. They come out to be like, you know, like, four play sick. I'm like, I'm actually

talking on four play. Right now. It's like kind of like a four play inception. They're like, what do you mean you're on four player? And I'm just talking to us in real life. I'm like, yeah, but I'm actually, I'm like actually talking on the podcast. Like right now, speak to you. And the guy's like brain broke, you got dropped his beer. He's like, I just don't, I don't know what you mean. And he just walked away. So like, that's what I'm in right now.

But I will say, Riggs, I loved the putting contest. When I saw that you guys were running that there, that is my favorite thing to do when I go to an event like that is do all those little, mini, like, events. I can't win the event myself. So like, closest to the pain, longest drive, putting contest, I take that shit very seriously. When I saw those guys celebrating, like, when they hit more in a row, it brought, like, a tear to my eye. It's like, that is, like, that is, so unbelievably, like, competitive and awesome to be able to hit four and roll like that. Those guys can remember that for the rest of the lot. I mean, I think the odds of that were, like, 20,000 to one that somebody did out because it was

legit, like, one out of, like, 11 people or something crazy like that were actually making the putt, and then they had four for four. They just went four for four, so that was nuts. The celebration was crazy. One of the guys was, like, from Ireland or something. He had the most preposterous Irish action I've ever heard. And I just kept asking him about the whole experience, even though I knew what he was going to say,

because the way that he talked about it was so preposterous with his accent. So a huge I own accent guy, which I hope we get a pun of with, obviously, the British Open coming up. The putting contest was crazy because we had all these average, just like weekend golfer guys who weren't even in the mix in the actual terms of front of 120 people. Everybody's booze and chirping their shit out of them. And then they've got a put for $750. So those guys were absolutely like shaking.

One guy legit was putting lights out. And then he was so nervous on the last putt. He hit a 10-foot putt like six and a half feet. So it was. It was a seed. Frankie, you sound like when there's like a really controversial and heated like political election. And then right afterwards there's a reporter who's like right in the middle of it.

Dude, I love, as soon as Frankie finished his last line, he went on mute instantly, and then you heard the whole tone of the conversation change. There's people screaming one second. Frankie's alive. Dead. Mute. For anyone that doesn't know this Midwest area, you know, like I do, because I've been here for 24 hours. This little ballpark village they have here in St. Louis is twice a life.

It's like a mini city. I mean, there's like five or six bars, and every entrance to the bar all comes into this one huge area. Like, everyone's a stretch in the middle. I mean, there's people going absolute that shit crazy on you're ready for Game Boyle It's unbelievable. Like, I can't, like, I can't paint the picture more, like, other than saying that it's that shit crazy. I just, I envision you so much in the middle of the convention being like, it's pandemonium out here. People can't believe it feels like it's the tides are shifting and it's going to be a real upset.

Like, that's honestly what it sounds like. And then I just hit the quick mute real quick, like just, just, I hit the quick, like just, just, I hit. It's a mute and then it's just dead style. It's got to be a whirlwind for anyone listening to this. This is going to be a wild podcast to listen to on the years. Yeah. All right. There's one drink that I'm absolutely obsessed with when I play golf.

That's a transfusion, but a non-alcoholic drink that I'm obsessed with is body armor. Their flavors are unreal. I also, one of their competitors, dropped Tiger Woods. It was one of the first companies to drop Tiger Woods. So if you need another reason to realize that body armor is a bazillion times. better. I'm pretty sure they didn't ever have a track record of dropping Tiger Woods. So thank you very much to Body Armor for that. Along with hardened trout, Andrew Luck. Body Armor has one of the top golfers in the world. His name is Dustin Johnson as one of their athlete investors and partners.

DJ's favorite flavor is peach mango light. It's quite delicious. That flavor is fire. Like I said, tastes just as good as other body armor flavors, but the light flavors have less calories and less sugar. DJ always keeps a bottle on him on the course. And in the gym to keep himself hydrated, hydrated, not hydrated. That doesn't make any sense. His trainer is also really hot on the product and a huge supporter too. Thought for the second the copy was going to say his trainer is also just really hot, which would have been interesting, but no, it says his trainer is also really hot on the product

and a huge supporter too. Training for golfers has evolved over the years. Golfers work out and train just as hard as any other athletes. The trainer who's not necessarily just really hot, but he's hot on the product, agrees with that. The brand, they are exploding body armor. They're phenomenal. drink body armor, they're the best.

Can we talk about how good Tiger Woods looked yesterday? I'd love to. There was one of my favorite calls yesterday. Some guy hit, Tiger hit a good night. Oh, yeah, Larch, nope. You guys need to keep, yep, I'm sorry. I just can't keep on the conversation. Go ahead, Lurch.

Go ahead, Lurch. Me or you? You? Me? There was just a great call I wanted to bring out. If you want me to talk, if you want me to talk, Lurch, I'm going to just say it. Tiger Woods' face fuck near a field village yesterday.

He absolutely took his dick and shoved it all around that golf kick. He is back in a way that we never, ever could have assumed. Even with winning the Masters, what he did yesterday was almost better golf than winning the Masters. It was the perfect round of golf. Oh, all right, let's talk about the front nine. Oh, I just found like a quiet spot. You see this? Did you hear that?

That sounds so much better than the whole time. Did you hear this transition? I just opened a door that caught me to a place that just isn't as left. This is unbelievable. All right. Shout, show clear. It's crazy. First,

first nine holes of Jack's little tournament he runs every year. Sorry. I'm not in the wrong spot. Seems like some people snuck into the room. I think Frankie went somewhere. He's not supposed to be. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

The room became left quiet. Come on four play. Just download five-star review. You have to listen to it. Four-play podcast. Yep. Golf. You like golf?

Yeah. Golf's awesome. So Tiger Woods yesterday, front nine, unbelievable performance. I think some people could argue the best nine holes that a golper has ever played in the tournament. I think he went nine for nine greens of regulation, seven for seven fairways and 14 putts. Did he go dash seven in the front nine? I mean, has anyone played a better round? And he left two putts on the rim.

Has anyone played better golf than Tiger Woods did at the front nine in Murielfield yesterday? Someone answered that. It was spectacular, Frankie. It was one of the greater displays of golf we've ever seen in his post round, too, when he basically just said, like, yeah, no, that was pretty good golf, wasn't it? With not, like, the biggest smile on his face, the biggest, like, cockiest little smirk going into pebble. Like, he couldn't be given a fuck less about who's going to win Jack's little tournament? He's like, this is, what is this, the place where deer impaled themselves all the time?

I don't give a fuck about this tournament. Oh, yeah, I just walked around this graveyard and just absolutely buried buries everywhere. all those deer that just selflessly tried to jump across and graze while Jack's tournament just stand them in the hearts as they as they were gazelles across the fairways. Yeah, I'm just going to fucking drop birdies everywhere you look. And real quick, before I forget, I just want to talk about Jackie right now. And I'm going to call him Jackie for a second. Jackie, what he's doing right now, and we talked about it on the last podcast rig, and we're seeing right through this fucking guy. We're seeing right through this old geezer that what he's saying, every time he has a mic in front of him, like, oh, Tiger Woods has never looked better.

Tiger's going to do it. Like, oh, he's shooting the easiest 63 of ever seen. When he kept saying yesterday during the coverage that Tiger's going to win this tournament, I honestly wanted to go down to Mirfield and just shut his mic. I wanted to clip his mic off, like in Forrest Gump when they, like, take out all the fucking mics on the side as the guy, as Forrest Gump is, like, explaining the Vietnam War to everybody. Like I just didn't want him to ever be able to speak to people again because that was the most unbelievably stupid thing that I'm like, what do you mean is going to win the tournament? He's 11 strokes back.

Stop telling people that this guy's going to win. You're just setting him up for failure. We see what you're doing. You're basically saying he's playing so well that there's no chance he doesn't win. And if he doesn't win, he sucks. That's what you're doing, Jackie. And we see it right through it. We see right through it.

It's true. It's honestly exactly what he's been doing. He's building him up. He's setting him. So there's a lose. Like Frankie said. Jack's out here like, yeah, he's absolutely going to win the tournament. I don't even foresee a possible route in which he doesn't win the tournament.

Like, well, Jack, there's fucking four holes left. He's down by 10 shots. So actually, there's no fucking way he's going to win your tournament. What are you talking about, you old geezer, as Frankie calling him. I am on to Jack. The old geezer is going to stick out. I know what he's doing. I would probably be doing the same thing, which is that he's terrified.

He's shaking in his little old geyser. boots because Tiger Woods is clipping at his heels. He's fucking coming for that ass. He's winning major championship left in right now, a.k.a. He's won one in the last 11 years, but he's about to win a lot more. He's buzzing, though. He's one for two. He won for two. Yeah, he is. He's absolutely buzzet. And Nicholas is a competitive. He's a competitive savage. You can't be the most winniest major champion in the history of

golf without having a ruthless competitive nature to you. Jack obviously has that. No part of him thought Tiger Woods would be back. He was sailing off into the sunset. He was laughing with Barbara, laughing up, a fucking storm at Tiger. Everybody thought this guy was going to win 25 majors. Look how hard it is to win 15, let alone 18 like I did. He thought he was good to go in the clear. And my guarantee still stands.

Frankie and I agreed on this. I'm curious to hear what Lurch and Trent think, which is this. If and when Tiger Woods gets to 17 majors, Jack Nicholas will die. All right. Well, first, let me see. I got a couple things. Jack Eagles is a true game. The one solace that I take in all this Jack,

because I agree with you guys 100% that he's doing all these things. It started Augusta when he said he shot, well, like the smoothest or easiest 64, blah, blah, blah, Tiger ends up winning. But I know that Tiger knows what Jack is doing. I know that Tiger is smart enough. I know that he sees right through the bullshit glad-handed and complimenting that Jack gives to him,

that he's not going to fall victim to being like, oh, man, I am good. He's not going to get comfortable. with the things that Jack is saying to him. So we should all, Jack can say everything he wants. He can play all the games that he wants. Tiger fucking Woods is going to see right through that. And boy, could I not agree more with him getting to 17 and Jack just dropping dead.

It's 100% going to happen because Jack is a competitor and he will refuse to see Tiger Woods even get close to his record. Not only that, but I just think that he wants the narrative. He will want the narrative to flip in his direction when Tiger is. about to do it, it'll all become about, oh, Jack's dead now, so it doesn't even mean as much. So I think I couldn't agree with you more. That's fuck you. 100%. It's a huge luck you.

Jack's also got his wife Barbara chirping, churping tiger kind of, when Tiger won the masters, Jack had Tiger pretty, or Jack had Barbara pretty much say, oh, this was so important he even came in from fishing. I don't know if you ever saw that clip, but it's most outrageous comment. She said, oh, she said that he doesn't just come in from fishing for anybody. It doesn't come in for fishing for just anybody, Tiger. It is all hands on... It's so bad.

The Nicholas family is all hands on deck being like, how can we fuck with Tiger? We got to bring Barbara. We got to bring Jack. We got to bring all the grandkids and all the kids. Everybody's got to do... Put bad juju in Tiger's direction because the Nicholas family, like Riggs has said, they were laughing. They were riding off into the sunset being like Tiger.

He just completely derailed his entire life. It looked like he was going to have it easily. He fucked it all up and he's gone. We don't have to worry about it. I'm the greatest winner of all time. and now the boogeyman is back and everybody is scared. He came in from fishing, Barbara. He's a fucking old geezer.

He probably had to come in from fishing because he's 9,000 years old. He can only be out of the lake. Because his knees are creaking. The rain is coming in, and he felt his knees starting to creak. He's like, oh, Barbara, I think a storm's coming in. I can feel it in my knees. Shut the fuck up, Barbara, you're telling me. He had to come in.

He came in because the best golfer of all time was about to win the master. That's why he came in. He felt it in his plums. He felt it in his arthritis-written fingers. I was going to say. The Tiber Woods was storming up 18. You think he could stay out there on a fucking boat all day? That guy's probably got fucking worse skin than I don't even know it has bad skin.

I was going. Frankie's on a tear. That storm he felt coming was called Tiger Woods, and that's what he felt in his fucking needs. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That storm is called El Tigray, baby, in the Windsor House. It's so funny that we're talking about this because we, Lurch and we were having a little bit of a conversation

before we got on here. And Lurch just said that he might have a couple controversial opinions about Jack. He was maybe going to say, you know, some negative things. And you guys have just taken it away and now we're all just in the same fucking boat together. Frankie brought the emotion from whatever bar

or hell hole he's in in St. Louis was going absolutely nuts. Right into this podcast and write about Jackie Boy, the old geezer. That's the homeland is talking about that, Lurgy Boy. Be careful with those words. Well, no, I'm not talking about the homeland itself. I'm just talking about the bar or whatever.

you know, it doesn't sound like he's on, you know, a beautiful piece of land. It seems like he's in a bar. No, not on a beautiful piece of land at all. Yep. Yeah, quick St. Louis review. Kind of nice, like, cool things. Our hotel can basically touch this little arch they have here. I took a picture of the arch yesterday.

Everyone loves the arch. It's a cool thing. Like, it's the gateway to the Midwest. It's like cool. Other than that, like, kind of a weird city. Like, buildings are just, like, kind of empty. Like, not much going on. Like, last night, like, I went to your contact solution.

Like, every single place was closed. I'm like, are we in a state? I'm like, where can I get contact solution? The guy goes, oh, he, he, like, took his glasses off. He's like, I don't know where you're going to get that. I'm like, are you fucking getting me? Like, I need to fucking put my contact in some solution right now. And where am I going to do that?

He's like, you got to go, like, 18 miles up the road. I'm like, what is going on? So it's a little weird in that aspect. But, I mean, I think the way, like, everyone talks about, like, Whitney, I know during Barcy Radio was, like, it's the worst city in America. Like, I think that's a little harsh. I think it's pretty cool. I think it's different.

I like the different, like, relaxed feel to the city. tell about the people frank how have the people been people are extremely nice frank frank tell them about the people people are great there people are unbelievably nice the uber drivers are almost alarmingly nice like to the point where it's like

why start being mean to them because they're just being so nice like so like we like lost a t-shirt we don't know what the hell we do with it like we bought a t-shirt for like this little bit we're doing this buffet a bit and like we just like lost it and i texted the uber driver. I'm like, hey, is the shirt there? He's like, no, I'm so sorry. He pulled over on the side of the road. She had called him. He said, I don't know

what happened to the shirt. Like, clearly we lost it. He had nothing do with it. He texted me back. I'm driving back to the place you guys bought the shirt and I'm getting one and bringing it back to you. And I like had to call him. Like, no, you're not. No, you're not. You're not going to the place that was 35 minutes away buying a t-shirt and bringing it back. Like, that's absolutely not what you're doing. He's like, I'm doing it. And I'm like, no, you're not. I'm like, lose my number.

And I just like, fucking blocked him. I'm like, I'm not dealing with this. I mean, like, is they're just too nice? They're unbelievably passionate about this blue team. We had an argument, is this a Cardinal City? Is it a Blue City? You know, I think recency bias is saying it's a blue city right now, but then you look around and everything's just in red.

Like, it's like even the building we're in is just like a Cardinals building. So it is really cool. It's different with only the two teams. I know you guys lost that whole football thing. That football thing is a weird little situation you guys have. But it's cool. I mean, it's a cool city. I like it.

There was a fuck Stan cranky. chant at the bar. There was a fuck state, and the whole place was ringing out loud. I think you could hear it wherever the hell he is in L.A. Good. That guy stinks. I hope he could hear it from fucking L.A. I hope you're absolutely right, Branky. Ladies and gentlemen, you know what's really hot in the streets right now. CBD, CBD, who are as good as it gets.

Look, Jack Nicholas, to go back to the Nicholas family, I think it's a cross-the-board for-play pod guarantee that that guy, that old geyser, as some people call him, he, when Tiger Woods gets to 17 majors, will die. He's going to die off.

He's not going to let Tiger. He's not going to get Tiger of satisfaction of knowing that Jack was around to see him break his records, or he's just going to die off, which I think is probably the smartest move if he doesn't get too exhausted from fishing and all that BS. Other than that, I think Patrick Cantlay,

he took down the tournament. He's kind of a snooze fest. We've talked about him before. He's just kind of boring out there. I don't know if you guys have any other thoughts on him. He kind of went crazy, he liked out. He kind of lit the golf course on fire as well.

It was one of those moments where he was like, oh, like, chimer and fucking whoever else was up there. It's like these guys just going to take it away. way and then all of a sudden Patrick can't lay like where the fuck did this guy come from and all of a sudden he sees like dash six dash seven dash eight it's like holy fuck this guy's on fire yeah it was nice to see him close it out close the master's thing you know we all talked about here just dying when he was at the lead of the masters and just totally falling off yep so it's nice to see him close out the tournament even though he is you know seems fairly boring on

the outside in terms of his public image but i thought it was nice to see him close it out I got to tell you, I've never seen someone, not on TV all day long, massive tournament, not on TV once, nobody even knew he's in the golf tournament. The second they put that guy on TV is tied for the lead, biggest melt down I've ever seen. Gone on the fucking play golf. I mean, he couldn't even play. He looked like he was about to cry walking down the 16th 17th hole out there in Augusta. That guy, so you're right, it was nice to see him bounce bad because you'd think if he knew,

maybe I didn't tell him the cameras were on at the memorial or something like that. Because otherwise, I mean, I've never seen someone. You turn on the camera, done. He's red hot, red hot, red hot, camera goes on. You're on CBS. Jim Nance in the booth talking about you. Collapse. The guy just, like, the biggest meltdown I've ever seen.

So it was kind of nice to see him bounce back for that. Memorial, as much as we give Jackie that old geezer, that's a big tournament. That's a big win for him. That's huge. Yeah, our guy, Bryson, won that last year. And it catapult, and then he ended up winning, like, four tournaments really soon after that. So, you know, maybe Patrick Kennedy did something,

something similar to that, that'd be pretty sweet, I guess. I don't know, he's kind of boring like you guys are saying. It catapulted Bryson into, you know, four-play fandom and start at where it became famous because of Frankie Brillard. Yeah, if Patrick Hanley wants to rub shoulders with us and do stuff with us, then, yeah, we'll definitely, we'll turn our opinion on him for sure. Sometimes you pull the covers back on people.

You find out quite a bit more. When we come across like four-play fans or whatever at these events, like this group of kids, this flock of St. Louis, and we're like, they put up the phone and they're like, fuck Bryson, and like they want me to say it. And it's like, man, I think we've like evolved

from that. Like, I think our friendships kind of changed. Like, I don't know if I can, I don't know if I can say fuck Bryson right now. Like I responded with, Bryson gave me great tips. I just can't execute. Like,

I'm trying to squeeze those in. He's a great guy. In this moment of rage, this hour of rage from Frankie Burrell, he just came to like grips with a very concise point. Yeah, that was great. Yeah. Yeah, it's great.

They're like, well, I'm like, well, Bryceon's like a douchebag. I'm like, he knows how to chip, and I just don't. Like, he's like a great, he's a great dude to like have in your corner, I think. Like, yes, he has his meltdowns on the golf course, which I'm still going to always feel a little weird about watching him. He makes it feel uncomfortable when he breaks down like that. It's great.

I'm doing a podcast. Boys, I'm taking a selfie. I get a stoolie right now. Yeah, it's awesome. It's inception. Hey, is there any way we can get a couple stooleys up in the office? So, me at Lurts can be like, hey, what's up, guys? say it's good to see you.

You can go down stairs and just grab a couple of people on the street. Yeah, just grab a couple of random people on the street. And then just kidnap them essentially, bring them up here. And we will shake their hand and have a conversation with him. Well, I was doing this weird thing where I was trying to whisper to the school. And then I was trying to do the show at the same time. And then I just decided to tell you guys that I was doing that I was doing the cell three of the school. Oh, yeah.

I thought I was going to be able to do that in the beginning of the show. And I was like, I'm in the middle of a concert. So there's no way I'm going to be able to start whispering. Those guys who are saying fuck Brace and Deschambo have to be like the two or three people who just didn't watch that chipping video. Because if you watch that video, there's really, there's no way you can come away from it without being like, that's a cool dude. Despite all the things you've said about it, despite the things you've seen, he's a cool guy

who the Wednesday night before a fucking major took the time to try and help this make a wish chipping yips guy. And it's just, it's, come on, you know what I'm saying. Well, I got a lot of slack too because Bryson went viral. He taught the kid who, you know, had like a bunch of like brain. surgeries and he's like recovering the unbelievable story. It's fine on all those golf networks, whatever.

You know, someone's like heart rate monitor going up right now? Your world is insane right now. Me and Lurch and I could not be sitting in a more stable environment. That's Rick Janky, you nailed it. You nailed it. Oh, I heard it. Yeah. I mean, that's a hell of it. I mean, that's

I can't believe you've called out. I've never heard of my life. It's incredible. It was like I heard it six, seven. I mean, you could just hear through that beat. Yeah. You said heart rate monitor at first. Well, whatever. Getting on the same page as you two right now.

Trent and I are like in an air-conditioned room with no noise whatsoever. And we're pretty much just, we're actually just four-played listeners. I gave Lurch a nice tour of the office. It was very calm, cool, and collected. And then we came and sat down. This is it. This is it. And then you two are just going through what seems to be hell and back.

What do you think of the office, Lerpe? It's a great place. It's way different than before. I will say Dave's office is a joke. The worst office in the country. It's insane. The office is amazing. It is the worst office in the country in terms of relation to what he is.

Yes. To the company and the internet in general. It's just a goddamn, it's an insane asylum. I mean, I think it's actually perfect because pretty much his window view is being blocked by what seems to be a worthless closet. Like, if you just took one little area out, he could have a window view, but he's not. It's pretty much just a closet office. It's insane. But great spot.

He's got a horrible. So I think I'm getting called here to make the walk to the Enterprise Center, which some people are saying was the quietest arena and all sports the other night. I'm hoping to see. No way it was quieter than Parklach. You don't mean that. I heard the game was off the charts, you liar. Well, you know, the other day I sent out like a pretty mean tweet where I said,

I think right now at this moment the National Calisian is louder at the Enterprise Center. People have not been taking that too lightly. here in this little area I'm in right now. They all saw the tweet. I feel like every single person inside this bar saw that tweet. And like I'm just going to start getting like tomatoes thrown at me. It's like they've turned on me a little bit with that. But I am excited to see a good, a good moment.

Yeah, I'm actually getting the call of the bullpen right now. Okay, great. Here you go. All right. You got to go? Yes, I do have to go. Oh, just really quick with the Bryson thing and how people have been chirping me. That kid, he has one arm that works right now.

I think he has like strokes or whatever it would happen to. horrible story, but great rebound story, how he's, like, making his way back and playing golf with, like, one hand. And Bryson's teaching him out of chip, I can't tell you how many, how many tweets and messages I got about how the kid who has, like, one arm is getting a much better lesson from Bryson and, like, actually executing all the things. Like, I mean, I don't know if you guys fell like clip, but the kid's, like, taking divots. Bryson's like, all right, like, hit down on it, 45-yard shot, and the kid just fucking roast one. Perfect divot. Backspin. And everyone's, like, Frankie, you have, like, you have, like, a normal brain.

in like two very functional hands and you were you couldn't even come close so that kid that kid kind of put me down in the dumps like I know he's a great story everything but I have my eye on that kid because I don't know I mean what are the odds he does a video like like Bryson doesn't make a wish video the week after he teaches me and I looked like I was the one that didn't know what was going on so it's kind of a tough one for Frankie Pirelli so like I like went out there and just couldn't chip and that kid did um but that's yeah I mean briceon is like you're shipping your chipping is worse than a make a wish kid's chip. I mean, that's just one arm. Oh, that's tough to handle. Well, it's also like you know, we were talking about blind golf. Actually, I'm just in the wrong situation right now to remember

the name, but the blind golfer we talked about, I don't even know if we talked about this on the podcast. He reached out to us. He's like, I want to come on the pod and I want to like golf with you guys. So we will start to see a little bit of that type of golf. And like, I think it's going to be a little alarming at how good these guys are when we see them on the golf course. Like, you know, I mean, I think the blind golf is going to shoot like a 78 right in our eyeballs. So it's like it's going to be tough. On this same note when I was a youngster, maybe eighth grade freshman year of high school,

I played tennis against some guy in a wheelchair that was nationally ranked. And I'm like not a great tennis player, but I can definitely hit the ball around. He beat me six four in a hundred. Yes, he did. He was like, I think, yeah, he was sick. I mean, like he would get to the ball and pound it.

To the point where I'm thinking, like, can I drop shot this guy? And I did. And he still got to them and would put them away. He was unbelievable. So I'm with it, you know. Not everybody's a winner out there. All right, boy, I am out.

Don't get making the walk right now. Lurch is a phenomenal. I want to say bye to all you. I want to say bye to every single one of you. Good luck, Riggs with this game. I'm about to go to. Great job on the Barclas. I'm out.

All right. Bye, Brack. Riggs, when you were just talking there, to make me feel the way I don't know if Frankie could hear us the whole time we were talking or if he was just shouting on the foreplay podcast. Yep. Yeah, I don't think it wasn't a two-way conversation. He just yelled into the podcast the whole time.

I think that's exactly what it was.

Also, don't saw yourself short there, Lerge. I would say you're like a two handicapped tennis player. You think that's right? I might venture to guess somewhere in that range. You know, I'm a low single-digit tennis player.

I can hit the ball pretty darn well. Yep. But I was no match for this man. No match. And you lost to a wheelchair guy. Yep. 6-4, pretty tight set. Not a blowout.

No, not a blowout. He broke me and I couldn't get it back. I mean, like, I just physically lost. Like, I thought, like, oh, yeah, like, this will be great. You know, this will be, like, just cool. Like, I want to see this guy move around the court and hit the ball. At any point, do you feel like you're in a no-win situation when you're in a situation like that? Because let's say you win.

It's like, all right, you beat the kid in the wheelchair. Yep. If you lose, which is now the reality of it, people are like, you lost to that kid. Yeah. So there's a turning point. Like, at 2-2, you're like, I mean, you know, you're also, like, you know, eighth-grade freshman year. you might not get everything. Yes.

You know, you're like, you want, like, you want to prove, like, I can win. Like, I'm not, like, it's an ego hit or something like that. But, you know, it's different. There wasn't a part of you was like, I'm going to take a little easy on this guy. Maybe initially. But then when I was getting legit, like, beat, like, he was, like, hitting a passing shot down the line. And you're just like, that, this sucks. And your brother's standing over there, like, watching it was, it was a nightmare.

So, yeah, I lost. And power to the guy. He was sick. And I'd love to play him again if he could ever take the time hit with me. Oh, man, that is just too good. And it's true, you are. You're a very good racquet sport player. Unbelievable good.

Lert. Another unknown fact that Lurch can beat me lefty, probably 21 to single digits. I would say he can beat me. Like, I usually can't get to 10. This is in the game of ping pong. You didn't share it. Pink pong.

Yeah, ping pong. Yeah, ping pong's my game. I would say I'm a plus two ping pong player, plus two or three ping pong players. Yeah, ping pong's my game. That would, being, getting beat by you on your offhand would frustrate me to no end. Not pro, certainly not pro, but I would say, this is a little cocking for me to even say this. But I would say, yeah, I would say ping pong might be the best game that I play.

Really? Riggs, what do you think? It's crazy how good he is a ping pong. I've seen a lot of people, you know, I've stepped up to the plate. They've been number one content. And getting at these debates, you know, somebody will pop up. Well, you play pit bull? I play a little bit of ping ball.

Lurch immediately goes, $500 I can beat you. And the person's like, all right, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm pretty good. Let's go like $50. And Lurch will beat him like $21 to $8 or something. I mean, he's just, he's a really good ping ball player. It's pretty crazy. Do you consider ping pong a racquet sport?

Is that a racket sport? I would say it's a racket sport, but you're fringing with taking, I think what you, I would say it's a racket hobby. more than a sport. But actually, those pros, that's sporty. I don't know. It's close. I would say racket sport.

I think it's a full-on sport. The point is Lurch is very good racquet sporter. He's very good at racket, racquet sporting, ragged, rap, racket copying, whatever the fuck he's talking about. So it really just makes it that much more stunning that you got dusted by a guy in a wheelchair play in debt. That's just kind of the main point that I was trying to get to. All right, boys, I unfortunately, I have to go.

I imagine the two of you could find something to talk about for a few minutes. Okay. Is that possible? Yeah, we can do that. Because I'm kind of up against one right now. But it was delightful, absolutely delightful to hear from you guys. Lurch, I'm glad you got in the office. It's a lovely scene.

It's pretty funny because we started this podcast with Frankie saying that he's been traveling. You're my roommate. I don't know if I've seen you in three or four weeks. I was just going to say, I was literally just going to make a comment about that. I live with one person and it's you, and I haven't seen your face in probably three weeks. I bet it's been three weeks. Yep, I bet you it has been three work. How's it luck?

What do you look like? What do you look like? It's a little tan. Yeah. Yep. Had a nice weekend up in New Hampshire this weekend. Sun was out. Probably a little heavier post the weekend.

But yeah, things are good. How about yourself? I got a staff for you guys. This is going to be an amazing stat. You don't like this one. Sure. Between from before the PGA championship week, two nights ago before I came to Boston.

So PGA and us going to Pebble and doing 36 holes and me and Frankie going to Seattle, walking 36 holes a couple different days. I lost 10.5 pounds. No way. Holy shit. Is that insane? I'm jealous.

I will say when I got back from, so I went, we did Bethpage, we did Pebble, and then I went home for a few days. and I ate like a lunatic, a crazy person, an overweight person, is what I should be saying. And I came back and I weighed myself. I had also lost weight as opposed to gaining weight. We walked one day out at Pebble, when Dave did the Muggan Challenge, we walked 36 holes, and I walked 15 miles.

I walked 30,000 steps. And it's the most exhausted I think I've ever been in my entire life. I actually loved the photo of you just lying down. He looked like a dead animal. That was on the last hole. It was the last hole a day. That wasn't, I wasn't planning it up for the camera. cameras. I literally wanted to stay there forever. It was tough.

You looked comfortable. Perl Beach kicked our dicks in. That's what happened at Pebble Beach. Yeah, no, I saw and heard some of it, so I figured as much. If you're looking for carnage, that's a place to go get it. The best way to describe is just kicked our dicks right in, right into our body. It was a real tough, real tough situation. Yeah, nobody wants that. Yeah, 10 and a half pounds, boys. I went, guess what? I tipped the scales at 204 and a half

the other day. Oh, I haven't been down to 204 since junior year of high school. Yeah. Buddy, I don't think you came out of the womb under 204. I was a pretty big baby. I think I was 915 out of the womb. I was 2. I was 220 all the way through high school.

That's nice. So I can't even remember last time. Under 200 couldn't even think about it. Yeah. You know Trent Daddy, the biggest baby in Iowa? Yeah, we did that on the podcast. I think one of the first times out before I took, I was on the podcast full time, and then I was about a three-week break before he came back.

Right now I'm sitting at about like $2.35. $2.35? That's a nice weight. That's my dream weight for me. My dream weight is $2.15? $2.15? Yeah. Yeah, I'm in a flux between $253 and 261 right now. Okay.

I would love to see a $2.38 if I could just live there. Oh, yeah. That'd be a nice weight. We'd be moving and groove. If you want to get there, we can get you there. One week, Riggs and I did a competition of who could lose weight by a certain date because we wanted to, like, feel better about ourselves. Yeah.

So I'm pretty competitive. Next week, I ate apples all week. I lost 18 pounds. Yep. It was unbelievable. It doesn't have to be that drastic. If you just cut out a lot of the normal shit, you eat. He was shocked.

Eating only apples is crazy. It was, dude, my stomach was making the most outrageous sounds. It's like, what is, man? He was looking for a steak in, like, the top left corner of my rib cage from, like, three weeks back. Well, Lurch was also just perpetually hungry that entire week because he was eating like a fucking rabbit. It was the only way he was eating the whole week. It was crazy, town. It's all true.

Are you off to a barstoologic dinner? What's your plan tonight? So I got to get dinner really quickly, you're right? And then I got to get back to time to watch the St. Louis Blues win game for the Stanley Cup final. All right, that's going to do it for us. I think, so we're going to, we'll have another show on Thursday, obviously. Pebble Beach is next week. We're going to be out there.

But we appreciate you listening. We appreciate you tuning in. Subscribe and all that. We'll be back on Thursday.

And we will see you then. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
