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. Foreplay, I'm at all right, Barstool Sports. We have a huge show largely focused on our very good friend, Mr. Frankie Borelli, who has been through a lot, obviously, in the last few months, in the last week. But that's really not the biggest part of this show. The biggest part of the show is that last Thursday, our very own Frankie Borelli, sat down one-on-one. mind you, one-on-one with Borrelli, with the current number four-ranked player in the world in studio.

And I have not listened yet, but I must say that this is probably as anticipating, anticipatedly as I've ever wanted to listen to an interview. So, Frankie, how are you feeling? I feel great. I was obviously nervous going into it. Kind of got sprung upon me the night before while I was watching Game 7 of the Islanders. people were like in the group in a group chat saying calamarcaha has 20 minutes in the office is someone going to be around to do it i said i would just do it um we'll try and figure it out oh wait was it

it was game six game six sorry it was game six yes i was at the game reading all the text and everyone was like you got to do it and i said i'll do it i was very very confident because the islanders had just won and the whole thing um but i think it went well like it was nerve-wracking and I wonder how many people turned off the podcast when Riggs started out saying this is going to be a Frankie Borelli show. No. But, you know, when you're talking to a guy with his success and his confidence level, he just stares a hole right through you. Speaking to someone in person is just different, man. It just, it slaps different, as the kids say.

Yeah. Yeah. I was talking to Frankie when I got here today and I wanted to talk to him about it. And he was just saying he went through all of the parts where you're like, I'm supposed to talk now. Like Colin Warwickawa, the number four player in the world, is looking at Frankie Borelli after answering a question. He wouldn't say this, but it's clearly the assumption is that Frankie is now going to speak once he's done answering. So it's all those weird things. I'm sure it went great.

I know Frankie was very nervous. In the group chat, we were like, we're trying to hype him up. But you know how to talk to people. That was the main theme that we were pumping you up with was you know how to speak to people. Yeah, I speak sometimes too much. You know, I know how to talk. Right. I was nervous, though.

There's no deny. a little bit of that as you should be as you should be nervous we just got done last week talking about how we're fan boys and we're never going to change that nervous giggly energy when we're around professional golfers and professional athletes and celebrities and boy did that just come to fruition the next day after we started talking about that yeah um but colin was awesome he's uh he's a really good guy i mean we were even talking um after the show and before the show just about just life and new york city and pizza and he messaged me over the weekend about like the pizza spots that i gave him recommendations are on.

So I think it went well. I think he left here, you know, with a good, with a good taste in his mouth. We're not going to talk about anything sexual. I don't know why. I said, taste in his mouth. He didn't leave him down that hill right now. He didn't, he didn't leave with any sort of taste. Nobody was thinking.

Nobody was thinking anything. You just, he didn't. The taste of a very, that's just a very common phrase. You know, the, he didn't storm out of here. No. And that's what you want. Yeah. He's a nice guy.

You're a nice guy. You guys chatted for 30 or so minutes. Well done. There's one question in there that made me laugh after I asked. And I just said, have you always just been sick at golf? And he looked at me like, yeah, man. Like, yeah, I've been pretty good at golf, like my whole life. And that's the moment where I was like, boy, this is a once in a lifetime type thing I'm doing over here.

Because I'm just not, when I was fucking making pizzas at Pes, I didn't think I'd be sitting down with fucking Kalamara Kao one-on-one like Joe Rogan sitting with the lights on us and just with an open mic. you know I just never was prepared for that so it's a learning experience but hopefully everyone enjoys we'll see I'm sure I'll get fucking death threats on Twitter I doubt it I think I'm I imagine it went really well Jake said it went really well Trent's right we're like trying to hype you up but without also like not letting like making sure that you were just gonna just do you just be frank like just sit there just sit there with with calla morcala like you're at a fucking bar or like you guys were waiting for a train together.

Like you wouldn't run out of shit to talk about then. No. There's no way you'd run out of shit to talk about with Kalamo or Kaup. So, yeah, that's coming out. It was almost like 30 minutes. You sat one-on-one with him? We were supposed to do like 10 to 15, and it was about 30, yeah. So we doubled the time that we were given.

And it was good. We got some good answers out of him. I did some from the gallery type questions at the end. He answered some, you know, the one that I liked was you take the four majors away, which four tournaments are you going to put in? as a majors. He really was thinking about him. And it was cool. It was a really cool experience. So, you know, looking forward to the next one.

Hopefully I don't have to do another one like that. But now you know you can. Now I know I can, yeah. Which is huge. You like, you cut your chops and you got your reps in with the number of four-ranked player in the world. And he's just, like, hot right now, you know? He's, like, got confidence and swagger, and he's a big get.

Like, it's not, and obviously the fourth-ranked player in the world is always going to be a big get. but sometimes like a Harris English can just slip in there and you're like, whatever, I'll interview this fucking guy. But Kalamorakawa is, he's, I just got done talking about how he was going to be my favorite player to over the next five years to dominate golf. I just said Kalamorakawa is that guy. Dude, he was sitting here with you and then a few hours later, he went up to 30 rock and did Jimmy Fallon. He did the tonight show. So that's, that's what we're talking about. He can, he can do this show and he can do the tonight show.

Yeah, he's a big fucking deal. big get so. Adaboy, Frankie. Added boy, Frankie. Thank you. Well, I'm excited to listen. Very excited to listen. We've got Owens Mixers, which I'm very excited to drink as well, especially over this

coming break, 4th of July week. I imagine a lot of people will be on a little vacation. They'll be doing something fun, maybe on a lake, maybe on a boat, maybe in a backyard, maybe on a golf course, who knows. But Owens is perfect for whatever you're doing. You want to have a little adult beverage. You want to have yourself a good time. But you want it to be good.

You want it to be new. You want it to be well made. you want it to be high quality, that's what you get with Owens' mixers. You pour it in with your favorite liquor, and you're just going to have an awesome cocktail. I've got tons of different options, tons of different things that you could make. My favorites, of course, the transfusion. You pour that bad boy in with your vodka of choice. The NASDAM Vodka is our vodka of choice, but you have an awesome, awesome, awesome golf cocktail.

But really, you can drink it anywhere. People love it on the golf course. So go check out Owens. Go to Amazon, a little website, a little application called Amazon, where they'll just send shit to you. They'll send it to you in the same day. I don't know necessarily if it's true with transfusions. I'm sure it is. It's going to be at some point if it isn't right now.

But I've been ordering stuff because I'm moving soon and things just show up the next day. Sometimes the same day. And it's really an amazing thing, Amazon, if you haven't heard of it. When they show up the same day, I will say it's almost creepy where you're like, all right, that was too fast. Like, give me, make me feel a little bit more comfortable that I'm not that easy to get to and that quick to get to. Yeah. But you're right. Trent. They'll do one day ship anywhere in the country, anywhere in the country. One day ship,

perfect for whatever you've got, whatever you've got going on. We got Transfusion Thursday coming up. So big thanks. And they got a bunch of other good flavors. They got the grapefruit line. They got the mint cucumber line. They got margarita. They got all kinds of good stuff. So big thanks to Owen's mixtures. All right. And then the other thing about Frankie, before we move on, is, of course, you know, very, my condolences to New York Island. I know it's been three or four days. But there was a very good chance that this was the islanders year. The Tampa Lightning are clearly standard cup champions. They're dominant and the Islanders were a fucking goal away.

In what was one of the better hockey series, NHL series to watch in recent memory, unfortunately your team came up on the wrong side of it. And it's crushing. It's absolutely crushing. I've been a loser when it comes to my hockey fandom for 27 years. And every year it hurts kind of the same. even last year it just felt like a lot of this of the same shit where you're just like it's never going to happen to us and then this year you really really thought as an islander fan that it was our

year and um i think the players thought it was their year and i just think like everything was looking like it was going to be that DVD type experience where like at the end of the season you get like that commemorative DVD at the end of the championship and it's like the storylines and the storybook of the Coliseum's final year in Borrellys, and we're going to go back on the roof, and the cup's going to come to Borrelli's the night of, and it was crazy, but, you know, as high as the highs were on the run,

as low as the lows were after the loss. So, you know, a lot of people coming after me on Twitter, which I obviously asked for because I am a big fan, but it was a fun time, man. It was a really fun time. As a fan of a hockey team and as big of a fan as I was, like, you got to remember, I've been doing this shit since I was fucking, like,

eight years old. Yeah. I was DP sign kid in section 221 row 8, seat five and six. I'd bring a deep, Rick D.P. H.P.H.O. sign to every single hockey game. My dad would drop me off. Even when I was 20 and 19, like when I was going to Nassau Community College,

I would go to morning skate, thanks to skills coach, Bernie Kassell would put me on the list and all the, and I would go and watch the opposing team. I'd get like a coffee and I'd sit there and I'd do pre-scout. I put on John Tavares' shoes in the locker room. I've done a bunch of crazy. shit. And I was a fucking nobody kid at Borelli's doing all this stuff. So to be associated with the team that I know and love as their fan on Twitter, you're like, you know, when people want to come after me after a loss, yeah, it fucking hurts to like just get hated on and shit on when your team

loses. But the fact that like when the Islanders give up a goal, the first person they think about is to tweet at me. Right. Or when the Islanders win a game, the fact that people had the game come up to me and like congratulate me, it's such a surreal, awesome feeling. that like I take the hate and the love the same way. Like I, as many fucking tweets, like, dude,

I had a thousand responses to my tweet when they lost. People just shitting on the team. It's like, dude, oh, so you're just, so now I'm just associated with my favorite fucking team to you. You know what I mean?

Yes. Like when that team loses, I'm the first person you go into your phone to tweet. It's a badge of honor. It's a badge of honor. It's fucking awesome. I sat back. I was telling my friends and family that.

I'm like, this is fucking sick. This is like what every fan, like, that screams and wants to be like a mega fan has always, hoped and dreamed for. Right, you're their ambassador. You're their representative.

And I fucking love it. I love every second of it. I love this team. I think that they're going to be right back there next year. We got a brand new building. Borelli's was awesome. And if you're listening to this and you're an Islander fan or anyone that supported Borellies and the movement during this whole thing, like, God, that was so cool.

Like, what a, is it a microcosm of just like what the world is going through right now? Yeah. At Borellies, you were able to see it day in and day out where, you know, You can even go back and watch the streams around my Twitter from the Pittsburgh series. It was just my dad and myself in the back of the room because we couldn't have that many people in. I mean, it was social distancing. You couldn't have indoor dining at the time, like as much as you can now. So we had legitimately just us in the back.

And then you flip a switch like a month later and we have a fucking frat party in the back room. We have a line of a thousand people. We're denying them. We're telling them to go to the bar down the block. I mean, what a cool experience that was. And honestly, dude, the Borrelli's restaurant aspect was a huge part of the virality of the streams. For sure. I think you're right.

Like, it was a microcosm. It was reflective of everything that was going on. And people seeing, same reason people see, you know, the islanders crowd of the Coliseum, like singing the national anthem before and going nuts. It's like, oh, we're back. People were back. People were pumped to the PGA in South Carolina where they didn't give a fuck about COVID. When Phil was winning, is they're like, oh, we're back. and it was the same thing at the restaurant.

How many times did we see tweets that kind of went viral over the last 14 months of people being like, I just can't wait to be in a packed bar again. I can't wait. Even you said, Frankie, in the show, like, I can't wait to have to, like, annoyingly wait for the bartender to pay attention to me so I can get a drink at a bar. And then there was Borrellys where it's like a packed restaurant. Everybody's together, having a good time. It was like, okay, we made it through this whole thing.

So, yeah, I mean, it was a sad moment when I saw that the Islanders lost, even though I have zero affiliation. I actually have more affiliation probably to Tampa, just knowing a few people from the hockey routes. But it was sad. It was a bummer. I feel for you guys. And like you said,

it reminds me a lot of when a Lee Westwood or somebody gets in the mix in like the player's championship or a major championship and they just come up a couple putts short. And you know it stings for them because they're thinking, like, I don't know that they'll ever get this shot again. I don't know that I'll ever have it where on Saturday I hold out twice. instead of making boge I made like birdie and all of a sudden I have this chance to win. And what I would say is that like I know as a blues fan, there were years when we were the number

one ranked you, won the President's Cup and thought, and we got, we lost like San Jose in the first round. And you kept thinking like there's no fucking way that the St. Louis Blues are ever going to get back. We're going to go through a stretch where we're the worst team in the NHL for another 10 or 15 years. And then all of a sudden they were the worst team and they won the cup that year. So like you just fucking. never know in sports.

It's insane how things can just flip a switch and happen. And like, the journey is always better than like the destination. Like the fact that, so those moments, like, I don't know, I don't want to do, but they're not like in vain. Like those moments were fucking unreal. They were representative of a lot of stuff. And the Iwins live out. You're going to be an Iowner fan for another like 50 years.

There's a lot of scary videos of, you know, my blood pressure and heart. So I don't know. that 50 years, I think 50 years is generous, but, you know, that's the one thing I ask of this team is to just win one while I'm still here. Please, for the love of God, I need one. This felt like it because it felt like there was Barstool magic behind it, whether, it feels barstool magic, whether whatever, it feels like it's carried a few championships to Barstool, like all the Boston ones with the Patriots and the Red Sox, the Cubs, the early days of the Blackhawks. It just felt like that with the streams and Borellies and your dad. And I just wish it had happened.

for you because the moments we're going to be the moments that you got were amazing on the streams with stew and all you guys but if you guys had just gone and done the whole thing it would have been really something but i'm sad for you yeah it sucks just so fucking close but it is where it is and you know we move on and now we get it's golf season for me now you know i mean what a fucking tournament this weekend to be able to just turn on and just kind of wash away the hockey i mean i sat down on sunday and i was just able to watch one of the more preposterous golf tournaments i've ever seen in my life. Eight playoff holes, eight playoff holes at Travelers Championship.

It was weird. It got a little bit weird at one point. I will say that at least they weren't just like lag putting and making pars. There were some insanely clutch putts from, you know, whatever it was, four to like ten feet that kept being made, even a few bombs that were being made. But, yeah, an eight hole playoff between just two guys. And they were playing holes that were pretty fucking boring. So I think a lot of people, it's a little bit of give take.

They're in a little bit of between a rock and a hard place because the 18th hole at River Highlands, TBC River Highlands, has delivered the speith moment where fucking Greller throws the rake. We all saw it 8 billion times over the last week during the travelers. It delivered two huge putts on the 72nd hole from English and from Kramer, but then it delivered just like a bunch of pars. And everyone's kind of like, all right, man, like, we need something. I think it really hurt their case that it was downwind and a front pin because those guys just couldn't stop it.

Like, they were landing wedges right next to the hole. It would bounce 15 feet and then check, and they'd have 15, 20 feet down the hill, and it's just hard to make that. But Harris English ends up, obviously, coming out on top. It was also a weird dynamic. I almost started to feel a little bit awkward, like on the fifth or sixth playoff hole, when the crowd was, like, chanting for Kramer, basically. And then you've got Harris English out there, like, just clearly nobody wanted him to win. And what that must have felt like.

Like, that's a pretty bizarre dynamic in golf, right? That you don't get any other sport. Like, it was just kind of weird, I felt like. It was uncomfortable. It was very uncomfortable because you could see it right through the TV. Everyone, there were like these bros that were drinking all day long. You know, they'd been out there for six, seven, eight hours just waiting for this final. pairing to come through, and they wanted the storyline.

And every time, Harris English had a better shot, you almost heard booze and stuff. It was, which I kind of like. Like, we should all be able to pick, like, sides. Oh, I'm sorry. You're going to be okay over there? My body's just been through a lot, man. Yeah. The throat is just extremely dry.

Here, I haven't, I didn't open that at all. Thank you. The throat's just been through a lot, man, you know? By the way, talking about body, I, I, um, I have an announcement. I'm not, I'm not eating anymore. I'm out on eating. Go, tell me more. Because I'll hop on that in a second.

So it's 4 p.m. here local time. I'm in Chicago for Bursal Classic. I got up at 6 a.m. And the only thing I've eaten was an impossible breakfast sandwich from Starbucks, which is like 400 hours or something like that. Okay. So it's been, you know, it's been 10 hours since I got up. That's the only thing I've eaten.

And then you factor in like the six hours or so before I got up. my new thing is I did a little bit of research, a little bit of reading on anti-aging, and I'm big now on I'm just fucking out on eating. I'm basically going to eat. Like, fucking once a day is sort of, I don't know that I can get to once a day, but boy, did I get deep in some mind over matter kind of stuff

and how don't let your body tell you what to think, let your mind tell your body what to do so that when your body's telling you you're really hungry and you've got all these cravings to snack and to eat junk food, that that's actually just not true. Your mind is smarter than your body and that you can just mentally get over it.

And after several weeks, you actually won't get these like crazy urges that I'm getting right now because, boy, am I fucking hungry. But long story short, I read all this stuff on like the most unhealthy thing that leads to all kinds of problems is basically like obesity and like eating too much and too much crap adds up so much over time and that your real age is actually based in kind of the health of you

and the way that you can protect all of that is clearly or with clearly with like a healthier lifestyle and that you can get to a point where, and this is all based on the fact that like, the only reason people like really die is because they get like sick, disease, unhealthy. You don't actually just like die of old age. You die because like you got to a point where you were unhealthy.

So that if you're a really healthy person, you cannot, that you will be younger for a, for basically as long as you would like to be. And I know that I eat like a complete child. Yeah, and I want to, yeah,

right. You're dancing around it, but it sounds like you want immortality. You want immortality. So if you stop eating impossible burgers from Starbucks, you will just never die. If you eat, if you don't get sucked into,

and Dave's been actually, Dave's a pioneer on this. That like breakfast most important meal the day being the biggest scam of all time. There was a couple different things I was reading.

A few different like professors in like molecular biology about a lot of this stuff. It's like I'm talking right now. The point was gentlemen, I'm fucking out on eating. This is what I sound like is that I get what everyone's talking about.

You sound fucking preposterous and ridiculous. Listen, I know that like fasting is very good for you. Is it? I thought not eating. Is that? actually bad hashtag bad for it.

No, that's what I thought too, but the research I've been doing, it's like fasting is like really good for you. It cuts down I think on inflammation. Like our bodies aren't designed to like eat as much as we do. Like three meals a day is actually insane. I think one meal a day is probably the better

way to do it. But there are a lot of people to do this that don't speak the way that Riggs is speaking right now where he is saying he doesn't want to die. The end goal is that he said that the only reason we die is because we get sick, we get disease and the only reason we get sick and get disease is because we eat like shit hence if he doesn't eat like shit he will not get sick will not get disease and he will never die i will say basically the

formula there's there's there's got to be an inaccuracy in there somewhere because some people just get really really old and they die like if you don't like if say if you stick to the one meal thing for the next 50 years you're not going to look just the way you look right now your body's gonna age remember that old bitch that put all the fucking raisins and rum and she lived in so she was like 120 or something i don't remember her she ate like 15 raisins and she'd like soak them in rum every single day and she'd eat these raisins. It is always funny when they ask the oldest person in the world like, how'd you do it? What's the secret?

They're like, I drink 15 Coca-Cola's a day. And it's like, all right. Bro, if you're going to tell me that I have to fast and eat healthy and I'll live until I'm 88 or I get to eat all the shit I want in the rest of the world and I'll live until I'm 79, give me the fucking McDonald's. But here was the difference, Frankie. The difference in, again, all this stuff. And I understand how crazy I sound right now.

I need to, I need to, I need to, I need to, tighten up a little bit on the research so that I can articulate this better to you fellas. But the point was that if you do X, Y, and Z, which doesn't have to be crazy. Like the fasting and stuff stinks right now. I don't even think you have to eat like a saint. You have to eat like a health nut. You should have to eat like relatively consciously and then do the fasting thing. It's not necessarily that like, oh, you instead of dying at 88, you'll just, or instead of dying at 79, you'll just die 8.

but it's that your life from like 50 or 55 until like 90, 95, you'll be like an extremely vibrant, healthy person. Significantly more likely. I obviously, nothing is a guarantee. But I also in my family, I have a history of like heart disease. And so you're like 40% less likely to get heart disease, like 40% less likely to get cancer and all this stuff if you're, you know, in a certain shape and whatever, which I know I'm not in because I, I eat literally like a child. And if you do just simple things like don't eat within a few hours going to bed, which I just stuff myself and then pass out.

Yep. So I'm trying to, again, I'm just on a no eating tray now. I'm just fucking out on eating. The only thing I've had today is an impossible breakfast sandwich from Starbucks. I skipped lunch. There was lunch everywhere. People were having fucking hot dogs, burgers. It was smelling amazing.

No lunch for me. I'm going to eat a nice dinner. I mean, I don't think you have to be super guru, healthy, whatever. but like a reasonably healthy dinner, and I'm going to go to bed, and I'm just going to keep doing this for the rest of my life, Frank. You're going to run out of energy, no? Like, doesn't it?

Doesn't it? No. You need food and protein and calories and calories. There's another thing is that studies actually show that, and again, this is kind of obvious, that you are more, you are more productive when you're hungry. You are at least as productive,

if not more productive when you're hungry because, think about when you go and you get a big lunch, you come back and you sit there. You don't want to do shit. shit you just want to fucking sit on your ass you're tired you're groggy whereas when you're hungry you're like alert and a lot of this goes back my friends to when when we were at our strongest when like we were like fucking apes running around and shit we could barely get meals all the time we're starving all the time now that we're like content our bodies get super just like

content and we could just stuff our faces all the time we become weak and pathetic and susceptible to disease you're down bad man you're too young this isn't a this isn't a midlife crisis but there's something going on you know something happened you know i know what i ate last night and and how opposite this is yes last night we had um homemade uh greek so we went out on the barbie and we fucking um i had five kebabs of pork suvaki suvaki suvaki yeah with six cubes of suvaki on each kebob right so do the math on that that's about 30 pieces of pork then i had five pieces of pita bread that was also slightly just grilled and nicely charred then after all that fucking happened i could barely breathe we had angel food cake have you ever had angel food cake of course it's

the best oh my god spongy spongy cake and you know what i threw on there i threw on fucking cool whip yeah he threw a cool whip and i did i did fucking strawberries and then the cool up wasn't enough i got actual i got actual um like icing to put on there god damn and then i went home I went home, I watched the movie Luca, and I ate popcorn. And this, I started this escapade at 5 p.m. And I ended it at 10. So my body was just put into a fucking sleeper hole. Yeah, you're doing, just, I'm going to fucking kill you.

You and Riggs are living opposite lives right now. I just fucking killed myself last night. So I don't want to be, I'm not trying to claim that I'm on some incredible, I'm one day into it. But I'm just, I think the lesson that I seem to be learning is that. start and get ahead of it before it's too late and you can build simple things into your lifestyle that actually have a huge difference in the long run. You are very much talking like a guy who's one day into it. Like you did all the research.

You're seeing all the benefits right now because you feel hungry but they're like, oh, I'm going to be, I'm not going to die early. But then in two days, you're going to be a monster because, brother, I've done the fasting thing. I try that all the time. First day is good because you're like, oh, I'm getting all these health benefits and I'm going to be skinny. and I'm going to live longer. And then day three, I want to kill somebody. A couple people. Boy, was I hungry today.

And I'm worried about getting really angry at times. But you're right. I'm kind of riding a little bit of a honeymoon phase almost from this commitment. Right. But I'm out on eating. Eating is fucking done. I'm out on eating. I'm just going to eliminate carbs.

I'm going to go step by step. I'm more on Frankie's side because I was home this weekend. And I found out when I got home that my favorite Chinese food place in the world, that I've ever had is closing down after 34 years of being in business. So I went there, I want to say on Saturday, and just ordered as much Chinese food as I could get my hands on. And I sat there for hours and ate crab rangoons and sesame chicken and just ate and ate and eight because I'm never going to be able to get that Chinese food again.

It's very, very sad. But I'm more on the side of Frankie where I'm just going to eat whatever I want all the time because it makes me happy. Food truly makes me happy. Yeah. That crossed my mind today about like, No, I just want to live a happy life, and there's really good cheeseburgers over there. I'm going to go eat three of them.

That crossed my mind today. But currently, I'm fighting it off. I love that Chinese food place so much, and I'm very legitimately sad that it's closing. That I, when we were there, I went with a couple buddies who also love the place. They had shirts on that, say the name of the place. It's called Pays. I tried to buy the shirt off the waiter, and he wouldn't give it to me. Oh, man.

Because I wanted something to take with me. Why are the closing? I think partly pandemic, but partly they've just been doing it for so long. But I actually don't know the real reason. But I just wanted something that had the name of the restaurant on it, and they wouldn't give me anything. It wouldn't give me the shirt. I wanted a menu. They wouldn't give me a menu.

It's the go-to meal there. So I always get spicy Mongolian chicken. Yeah. But when I went there on Saturday, it was they're running out of stuff. You walk into the lobby where they see people, and there's just a paper list in the back of stuff that they've run out of. they ran out of wontons they ran out of Mongolian chicken fuck man I'm legitimately sad that that place is closing you got some sun this week yeah which I'm actually a little surprised by because it rained almost the whole time that

I was in you were home in you were home I was in Cedar Rapids yeah said that no well I guess I said I was back home family gathering family reunion yeah how'd that go it went really well first time are you a family reunion guy no okay first time we've really done something like that on this side of the or on the whole family in general we don't really do family reunions. Everybody's kind of spread out all around the country, but I say I'm not a family reunion guy, but I had a blast. What consists, like what happened in this family reunion? Like, did you guys have events? Yeah, well, my mom put the whole thing together. She's, she organized the whole thing. Shout out to my mom. She did a great job. It's Thursday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

or no, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, kind of just hanging out Friday and Saturday. You can come as go as you please. My parents' house was kind of the main base. And then Sunday, we have. And then Sunday, we had a we had a picnic in the park oh wow and it didn't rain that day the one day that i was there that didn't rain which we were grateful for and we had uh cornhole and we had all these different activities nice we had all these different activities and it was just a really good time it's good to see people yeah no i was surprised to see um you have summer i thought i thought i thought i was just always overcast the sun exists in iowa okay it does you didn't think that it did well no no i just didn't but that sounds nice um you know i'm happy for you

we also we also did a thing where we put a bunch of baby pictures on a on a board and you cover up the names you do a guess who let me guess people went a hundred out of a hundred for you yeah okay yeah yeah my the newspaper clipping of me being a 14 pound baby was on proud display um that's fun

though man i haven't had a good picnic in a long time yeah we had burgers we had hot dogs so now that's good now you've gotten that done for the foreseeable future you saw some family you haven't seen a while yeah Yeah, that's probably the only time it's going to happen. Right. Because everybody's too busy.

I thought you're going to get, like, I thought you're going to get real deep and dark there. Well, people are going to die, yeah. You think people that you saw there today are going to be dead before you see them again? Fuck, dude. Yeah? Fuck, dude. Oh, wait. Do you think that?

I'm, I mean, someone at that family reunion will be dead before Trent sees them again. That's statistically true. Like, I'm sure that they can think, I mean. Oh, and when, oh. Probably deduce, like, who you were probably, who you're probably specifying about. Well, and this is, you know, the day that this episode comes out, happy 70th birthday to my dad. Oh, Gary. Yeah.

That's his name. Happy birthday. I fucking love the Ryan's, man. You know? Yeah. You sort of met them that one time when, uh, we did the college football show in Iowa City. And Dave ate the beats, uh, the. breakfast pizza said it was too bacony and greatly disappointed my father.

Silent show. One of the best moments I've ever been a part of where he just, you know, Gary Ryan walked in, met his son's boss for the first time ever. Ever. Coming off the, coming off, you know, right after the Casey's general store pizza review. And that was making waves. It was on the news. Yep.

It was everywhere. It's a big deal. It's a huge deal. And Dave said it was a little bit too much bacon. And Gary Ryan met him, shook his. hands said how's it going good luck today in the show we're going to head out of here and as he walked out he had his head down you know i actually think your mom probably led the conversation with dave yeah your dad was kind of just like meandering in the background shook his hand and like

just couldn't even really look him in the eye and then had to you could tell it was eating away at him he had to as he left with his back turn to dave just goes i don't know how you can have too much bacon and then just continue to walk out. Yeah. And Dave just was like, I just disappointed, you know, Trent's father. I mean, you can't come to the Midwest and say that something has too much bacon on it and not.

I mean, you're going to get flack for that. You just, like, Gary has never even thought that something has ever had too much bacon. You're going to stun people with that. Big time. You're going to stun him. They don't know how to react to that. 70 years old. He's still golfing and stuff, right? Oh, yeah. They go to Arizona and golf, right? Yeah, they go to Arizona for the winters.

for the Iowa winters and they golf a ton. They golf a ton when they're in Cedar Rapids. Yeah, he's still golfs. That's awesome. Yeah. Does Gary have any thoughts on your inability to break 100? He's rooting for me. He's a very supportive father.

What's Gary's game like? Power. Whoa. Well, like I said, he's 70 now. So it's, he can still knock it out there? He can still knock it out there. Yeah, he's a great iron player. Like, what's he's shooting?

You know, I don't know what he's shooting these days. I haven't played with him in, I guess it's been a while. now but I mean he's he was a good golfer in his day he golfed a lot golfed a lot but I don't know what he's shooting these days can he be could he beat you right now probably yeah all right yeah I would think so he's a golfer yeah I was wondering if he was disappointed in you at all that you haven't in in years of playing this game that you love and that you speak about if he just would hope that you'd be no no there's no disappointment he's pure support he's pure support My mom and dad are pure support.

So it's, yeah, there's no disappointment. None that he shows me, he could behind the scenes being like, my kid sucks at golf. But to my face, he's very supportive. That's great. I think so. You have that great, Frankie? This is awesome. No, I like talking about this stuff.

Do you? Yeah. I do. I really do. I do. I'm just, I'm intrigued by the Ryan family get together. I like it. it was because you're just i i always because Trent is a very like we've talked about

Trent right you don't you wear the same outfit every single day you like to do certain things you and you also have just moved across the country to this like zany new media company and like you took a risk like that most people would never even try and think of like i love the the like there's like hidden secrets behind you and your family like you just left your family it's fucking admirable to to go on and and then rigs did the same like to just just like pursue your career. And I always just like find it interesting that you just like go back and see them like once and you have to come back here.

I just can't relate to it because I'm in, I'm in it still. Yeah. So it's like very, very admirable that you guys were able to do that. So I like to hear that you went back and you had a good time. Yeah. We don't have to talk about it too much. But the New York move wasn't the hardest. The hardest cell was Barstool originally.

Right. When I first got high. Breaking out of like a like a like a legitimate job. Because I, and I had gone back to school. Right. And I had one semester left and I was cooking on it and we're like, oh, I'm, I'm going to get this degree and then my life's going to be great. And then with one semester left, 12 credits, I came to them and said,

hey, I want to work for this media company, Barstall Sports. And they were like, what are you talking about? What is this? That was the way harder sell. By the time New York rolled around, they had realized that it's a thing. They don't totally still understand it. Or like, they don't follow a ton of it or whatever. But they knew that it was a thing that was a viable job option.

But the original pitch was the harder one for sure. At that point, you were just in your apartment and a laptop. Yeah, I'm going to do this thing from here and I'm going to talk about boobs and coffee. Right. And now, yeah. And now they're like, like, they know. That was a Trent series. That was.

That was true. I think that was when I was a Trent fan. Daily blog. Daily blog from Trump. Bobs and coffee. But now, like, Dave is, find those pictures. But now, like, Dave has gotten so big that, like that my, my parents' friends know about all this stuff.

How did you find all those pictures of those boobs and coffee? I got a, I got a, I got a, I got a place. Every day, this guy found a new picture of a set of boobs and coffee. I got a, What a world the internet is, man. That's good work. That's just really good work. That's a blast in the past, dude.

Fucking blast from the past, man. I used to just be like, what's this post about, you know? I'd like, you'd be at work and you'd just like kind of look at it. You'd have to click here for the full image. Yeah. Oh, yeah, because you couldn't put, you can't put boobs on on partial sports. Not like exposed breath, though. Yeah, you can.

And I sure I did it. Every morning I woke up, put the coffee on, rub my eyes. And it's like, let's find some boobs and with some coffee next to it. This place is really something, man. This place is really something. But to put a ball on it, my trip back to Iowa was fantastic. I love it. Always great to see my family.

I hope no one dies. I'm sorry about that. You know, it's just kind of what happens. I also hope that. We were talking about death so much with this fucking guy. Right. Maybe I'll put all. Well, I'm trying to fucking tell him to stop eating.

I'll put all my, you're not telling my family stop eating. That's just not going to happen. Do you have a big family trip? Uh, there were, I don't, I don't know what's big and what small, like in comparison to other families, but there were 35 people at this family reunion. That's good. Is that good? That's a good size, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah, there were about 35 people there. It was fun. It's just mid, it's very Midwestern to have a big fan. You got people your age at this thing. Yes. So you have a good family, like, in that aspect. I got a bunch of cousins that are a similar age to me. Cool. So that's always really fun. Talk some, uh, Hawkeyes basketball with them. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. It was a good time. I had to have been part of the discussion. Yeah, of course. RIP pays.

That's the name of the Chinese restaurant that's going away. I'm going to miss it forever. Sad. That's whenever I go home, it's like Missouri basketball is the big talk of the town. Mizzou basketball and Mizzou football. That's all people want to talk about at the Bamiroons as well. Yep. Which is fair.

That's just kind of what people do in that part of the country. I have a huge family, so that's kind of why I ask. My mom's one of 12 kids. Wow. My dad's one of six kids. So we have the both family reuns are just massive. Bunny rabbits. Big time.

Big time. One of 12? That's a big number. One of 12 kids. How do you take care of 12 kids? Like how do you even manage their lives? How do you know that that kid's six is doing well or like growing up correctly? You know what I mean?

How the fuck do you manage all that? I think you don't know. You would be able to speak to it more. But I honestly think you just don't know. Dude, it's like my mom's siblings are all really, really cool and like go into their family reunions are very fun. Like, you know, the majority of them are married with kids who are obviously like my cousins now and they're cool and they have kids. So it's a massive thing, but you're right. It's like an incredibly impressive accomplishment to raise 12 kids and have them be like normal.

It's like, it's actually unbelievable. But I think, yeah, I think like my mom's parents were great. They're very cool, and, you know, they would cook and have, like, huge kind of dinners at the house. I'm sure it was just chaos. My mom's probably listening right now laughing out loud. But, like, like, I said, like, hanging out with my aunts and uncles, like, on my mom's side is they're all all very cool. They're still close. They love getting together.

They go up to, like, Missou football game once a year. Like, they're just, that's like their squad. They fucking hang out. They're a deep squad. Like, my mom's family rules. deep. Seriously. Does the amount of money it costs to get 12 kids like through life too?

It's crazy. That's I mean, hats off to them. My goodness. 12, boy, would I tie the tubes real quick after 4 or 5. Once it becomes a problem it's like, man, this is not stopping. Right. Even 4 or 5 seems unmanageable. It's been a little bit.

12 is a lot. Well then, like think about this. My dad's one of six kids and we just kind of like scoff at that. We're like, oh, like six. That's half. Six is outrageous. Six is so many kids. Like, do you know anyone that's one of six kids? No. No. No, one of my friends. That's what I mean. No, I don't know. I would say like five kids is probably the most. I think four kids in the same family is the most that I know of. Like in my like inner circle. I don't know of anyone that has five children in their family. Same. Wow. Four is the max. Yeah. All right. Well,

that was family talk. And then we've got even like a few of. of my, a few of my dad's sisters played together last year in the Barstool Classic. So like that side of the family's like a little bit more into golf. Some played like competitive golf and listen to the show and stuff. So I just like families want to end and to like what you were saying earlier, Frankie, it is crazy to think about the fact that like I just don't live where a lot of that where pretty much any of that family lives. So over Fourth of July weekend, actually I'm going to be home and seeing the family for two or three weeks kind of going to and from St. Louis a good amount. We got a Barstall Classic there and everything. So it really,

will be nice to see my family. I got, as Trent was talking about it, I got a little bit like nostalgic. I can't wait to see a lot of my family when I get back. Yeah, I think you got it, man. New Amsterdam vodka, make sure to head to your local liquor store and pick up the new summer co-branded New Amsterdam vodka bottle. These things are sick, fellas. The bottles are awesome.

Yes. They got the little logos all over them, red, white, and blue. It's a beautiful bottle. Beautiful bottle. It's a showstopper. You walk into your party. You walk into your day drink, your dardy, as we like to call it here at Barstall Sports on Saturdays. We love dardies.

You walk into a dardy with that thing. My goodness. I mean, it's a showstopper. It's a beautiful bottle. You're going to get the ooze. You're going to get the Oz. And it's New Amsterdam. So you know it's a good product.

It is. It's very, very good. It's very cool. The same extra smooth 80-proof vodka now with the custom Barstallel labels, as the fellas mentioned, made from some of the finest quality grains from America. is Heartland, New Amsterdam vodka. It's five times distilled for unparalleled smoothness, then filtered three times for a clean, crisp finish.

You put it in with your transfusions. It's a great cocktail, and the vodka is really, really good. It's smooth. It's great. New Amsterdam vodka, the official vodka of Barstall Sports. Okay. Kevin Kisner this week, we obviously, we talked a little bit of the playoff. Playoff, I think they should have just gone to the 15th pole.

Probably would have been cool. That drivable par for, where, like, Bubba hit in the water. and you saw all kinds of different scores, that probably would have yielded a bit of a quicker result. But all in all, I wanted to say, like, the Travelers Championship is sneaky just delivers all the time. It's got a great field. That course is 6,900 yards, I think they'd play it at, and the winners were 13 under. Like, that's amazing.

Like, Gary Woodland was 13 under when he won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach a couple of years ago. Like, 13 under is nothing for how good those guys are for that to be the winning score. so the course holds up. They're obviously up in New England where the PJ tour doesn't come very often, so the fans are really into it, and you get a lot of really, really good results. You obviously have the speed thing, you have the playoff, you have that. So yeah, just kind of a shout out to the Traverse Championship,

which Trent and I have been to before. Yeah, we did. We went and followed Keegan Bradley around. Kegan's Army? That's what the shirt said, right? I think, yeah. He was the Army. He was Army.

Yeah, and then he was very nice. He tweeted us after his. round one of the days i forget which day it was and he said hey come meet me around with the army and we'll take a picture and that picture exists somewhere and we we all look very nice he was like was like moses parting the red sea like moving fans out of the way to come find us to take a picture with the army that followed him um and it started with like renner's army originally when jim renner uh who was you know a massachusetts guy big stoolie who was playing but then there was like a year i think when he just wasn't there he just didn't make it to the trap

that Dave and company picked Keegan because he's a New England guy and then we went up and Fowl Kagan. So been to the tournament, very, very, very good tournament. Great for the area. Great for Connecticut. And it delivered a foul result. Our guy Kevin Kisner tied for fifth. $253,820 Kiz takes home. Hashtag TILGang. That was, that was quite stunning. We did the same whistle and then we did the same point. The visuals on that on YouTube people are just going to. their minds are going to get.

If you're stoned watching that, that actually did just happen. Wow. Imagine that in your head. Yeah, shout out to kids. $235,000. That should have been more. I'm not,

he should have won this week. He had it. He was up there. He should have won. He would have one bad back nine. Was that on Saturday? He got 40 or something on, I think Saturday in the back nine.

He just lost it. But the rest of his week, he was phenomenal. The rest of the week, he dusted the rest of the field. I mean, he was phenomenal. at one point on Thursday? No, it was Friday.

I'm sorry. So Thursday, he just shot even par. Friday comes out and he was eight under through 15 holes. And then once I tweeted that out and people started to figure it out, he bogeyed 18 and he was just back to like seven under for the days. And everyone was just like, all right, that's just like a really good round, but nothing crazy. But Kiz, man, he made a lot of birdies this weekend. And I'm just, you know, I'm very happy that he made his money that he finished in fifth. But fuck, that was a, that's a tournament that he should win.

When you're on like that and you're making that many birdies, and you're singing that many putts, and you're hitting that many fairways, and he was on, man. And that's a tournament he needs to win. Like, it's 6,900 yards. Like, it's right in his wheelhouse. He doesn't have to hit it long.

He just has to put well, which he always does, and he fucking was putting well. What the fuck happened on the back nine, kids? Jesus Christ. Shot of 40? What the fuck's going on? Why are you being so negative?

I'm not. I'm just, I know. Awesome week. All right? He's coming off a U.S. Open where he made the cut. He never makes the cut of the ESO.

When he finished Tiber Fifth, took home a quarter of a minute. billion dollars in one week. I'm just, team just lost and you're doing a No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm just saying, like, I think even Kisner would be like, fuck, man, this was a good week for us to really

go out and get a W. I really, like, he made a lot of fucking birdies. It just sucks. That one back nine really just ruined it for him. Dude, look at this. He went, obviously Thursday, 35, 35, because he made 18 bars, so those were his nines there.

Then 32 on his first. nine Friday, then 31 on his back nine Friday for a 63, then his front nine Saturday, 34, then his back nine Saturday, 40. He had five bogey, zero birdies, then his next nine, 34 on Sunday morning, and his next nine, last nine, 29. Holy fucking shit, man. And that's what I'm saying. I was watching him all week.

I was keeping tabs on him all weekend. And it's just, it's how many more weeks are you going to play that fucking lights out? We're shooting 29s on back nines and you're going to be 800 through 15 holes on Saturdays. It just sucks. That is a fascinating way to break it down. When you go look at the nine hole stretches, it's like, what happened? And I'm sorry to be so hard on him, but like I would love to know what the fuck happened on that back nine. Five bogeys, no birdies.

Like, does something physically happen to him? Like, I would love to ask him that question. Like, because clearly he. Yeah. Golf just happens, Frank. We've all been there. Think about the ridiculous. I've never been on the opposite side of it, like coming off of a fucking, you know,

31 on the back end the day before and then going out and shooting a 40. Like, yeah, I've been on the 40 side every day of my life. But you've gone out and shot like 39. I've got the game of golf. And then all of a sudden like a 51 comes out of the clouds. Like we've all done that. I know. I know.

I'm just, I want kids to win. And like, I just, that was a good. great moment for him to capture and it's just you know fifth place is great though not taking that away from him it's a lot of money it's a lot of money you just forced yourself to say that yeah you don't believe it it's clearly good like i mean you make a quarter of a million dollars playing fucking golf it's just like man i just wanted him to win i i i have higher aspirations for then fifth place for fucking kevin kisner the the glass have full version of this mindset would be like hey Kiz really found something.

He's coming off at 29. He flew straight to Detroit where he's got the rocket mortgage where he's played well before. So he's really building upon something as he moves into the lighter part of the season here. Good. Yeah, I don't want any of this to get taken as like negative Kisner talk. I'm legitimately rooting for him to win a golf tournament.

I'm like just not content with finishing and fit. I want one. I'm very invested in it. I'm because JT. John Tillery, he's very invested clearly financially. and I'm not making JT any money. So when a guy like Kisner has a big weekend, that's good for everybody.

It's true. For everybody. Till gang. We stay together. Although I will say, I'll be getting a lot of tweets from people who are at these golf tournaments who yell at Kiz being like, hey, what do you think about Trent?

And then he just says he sucks and keeps walking. Those are the reports that I'm getting from Stooley's boots on the ground at these golf tournaments. I saw multiple sources reporting the same thing, Trent. And then somebody said, hey, is Trent going to break 100? And Kiz just said, I don't think so. And just get walking. Now, that just might be his way of motivating me, just lighting a fire under my ass. Because I hear that and I get upset.

I, you know, Till Gang stick together. I would hope that he would be like in my corner. But I know Kevin Kisner, I know his motivational tactics might be, I'm just going to be mean to this guy. And maybe it'll make him play better golf. So here we've got Kevin Kisner, top 50 ranked player in the world, who's posting 29s, 301s, making a quarter of a million dollars finishing the top five.

He's out there focused on a swing, trying to avoid those 40s in the back nines, walking in between shots, grinding inside the ropes. And he's got people screaming at him from all kinds of places, rooftops at houses in Connecticut. Hey, that guy, Trent, who's never broken fucking 100 in his life. Do you think that guy's going to do it? How come he can't do it? And Kisner's response is, he sucks.

I guess when you, all right, okay, I guess when you present it that way, it might be a little distracting when you're trying to win a goal, legitimately win a golf tournament, and people are asking about my horrific golf game. I could see how that might be a little upsetting and he might lash out. But still, I'd like him, you know, some words of positivity could go a long way from me. All right. Speaking of Till gang, there's another little Till gang member who made some news last week

that we didn't really talk about. People kind of brushed over this, but Ricky Fowler had a few comments. He was a big rocket mortgage guy, and he had, did a little presser for the tournament coming up this week. And they asked him a little bit about Tiger Woods. And he said, in terms of Tiger's progress, said he's making some progress. And on that front about like coming back, playing with him, he said he's stubborn. He's got the golf clubs next to him at all times. He doesn't lack the motivation, is what Ricky Fowler.

Fowler said. Now, Ricky Fowler's been to Tiger Woods home. He watched the masters with him. He was going to watch some of the U.S. Open with him, he said, but it ended up not working out because Tiger had to go hang on his kids. This is a guy who spent a good amount of time with Tiger since the accident, who knows Tiger extremely well. And his answer, when talking about Tiger and recovery and potential future was that he's got the golf clubs next to him at all times. He doesn't lack the motivation. That, my friends, is the biggest and best piece of news about Tiger Woods recovery since that fateful day when he went on. off that cliff in California.

By far, this is the best news. Picturing him having golf clubs next to him at all times, first of all, very believable. And second, awesome. Just he wakes up, like in a cold sweat, maybe having a bad dream. He just puts his hand on the clubs, like, all right, no, no, we're going to be fine one of these days.

No, it's good. It's good. And we'll eat up any tiger update that we can get. And especially if it's a positive one that says, oh, he doesn't lack the motivation. He's still obsessed with golf. all these comments seem to be leading us towards like he's going to play again one day we don't know when that's going to be but it'll probably happen someday and that's great for tiger fans like us that's all we need that's it

yep any good words about tiger woods i'm all in on it i mean we just got to keep the positive train rolling and if it comes from ricky fowler comes from rickie fowler and how about rickie fowler yeah expecting a baby that was five days ago so shout out to him congrats to them congrats to the couple Allison Stoke? I don't think he ever read my DM that I sent to him. He read the first one really quickly and I don't mean to just brush over the pregnancy.

Congratulations to them. Jesus. I just kind of went right over that. Yeah. Well, I mean, you don't like babies. That's hashtag girl dad. I did have the opportunity to hold a baby this weekend and I passed it up.

You just said no thanks? Had that guy? Well, I didn't say no thanks, but there's a clear, like, there's a baby there and everyone was kind of taking their turns, holding it and it's a very cute baby I have nothing against babies but like you know I just like

I just kind of moved out of the line of people that were going to hold the baby right you know what I mean? Yeah yeah Would you hold a baby if presented the opportunity Frankie? Depends on who the baby is but like if it's a family member baby I'd probably hold a baby you know

yeah I'm not opposed to baby Yeah I've held babies before Have you? Yes What's the last thing? It sounds like you have It's been a long time. It's been a very long time. And I have nothing against holding a baby.

I was just like, I'm just going to get out of the rotation. Babies are so weird. Just like Ricky Fowler still not looked at my DM. Just birth in general is just fucking strange, man. Here we go. See, Riggs, this is what you sound like with. No, it's just fucking... The end mortality argument.

You were just looking at like a pregnant woman. There's a human being inside of you. Just like a... It's just... It's a beautiful thing. It's crazy. It's fucking propitimate. You see, you see, you see this strong, beautiful pregnant woman one day and the next day she's

got a baby in her hand and she's got no fucking belly anymore. Like, what the fuck just happened? Where'd that thing come from? It's crazy. That's the human race. Boy, is it scary. Reproduction, baby. Gotta have it.

Wow. Gotta have it. You have to, yeah. We're in a lot of trouble if that stops. You know? That'd be a serious problem. I do the thing, if I'm, if I'm asked to hold the baby. A, I just kind of call it baby.

Like, hey there, baby, which is, you don't know how to talk to it. Hey, there, a little baby. And then I do, I just start asking the other people questions about the baby to distract from how awkward I am actually holding the baby. So like, oh, yeah, so, you know, what's it like, what's it like talking or making any noises or anything? And then like, and then just move, move it along. Because I don't think I would have like what it takes to actually hold it for an

extended period of time. Because there is a right and wrong way to hold it. the baby and they'll tell you about it if you're doing it wrong hold the neck you got to position the head right right make sure everything's stable yeah so i was just like i'm just like not prepared at you've forgotten handed a baby with and they they put the whole you know that they have like um these little pillows now that allow you to hold the baby easier no they'll you sit down i've held like my niece and nephew they've you know you finally go and meet them and they put you in this chair and then they put this thing around you i forget the name of it but it's basically just like a little

pillow and it allows you to kind of rest the baby on it that sounds nice it's nice makes it it makes it a lot easier basically like forms your arms in the way that you're explaining if i had had one of those i would have held the baby but it's a whole process you got to sit down they got to go get the thing it's like it's like oh i'm about to hold a baby i'm already gone yeah seriously i'm already out of the house just sit in that chair going to get the little swaddler and they just fucking dart i'm i'm like offering to go run and get chips or something at the store um well yeah i was with the i actually saw a baby recently and someone said uh no someone was like oh like how like the baby was 20 like 48 hours old basically

or like 72 hours old yeah like oh like how is he and like the you know the mom and dad are like yeah he's he's doing well he's he's all right and i was just like what do you what do you think that answer is going to be right like and it reminded me i think it was uh it may have i don't know who it was it a lucy k joke or someone was telling some some joke about like their baby being And like, you know, like, yeah, it got fired from Target the other day. It doesn't have much of a backstory. There's no backstory about the baby. You know what I mean?

Just got here. Yeah, it may be a Nate Park guy. I'd be Seinfeld. I feel like Seinfeld did something like that. Just it's so funny like you're saying, like, you know, you don't even know their name. It's just baby. Like that baby, all babies are just babies. They're just the same.

They're just hanging out there. They don't know fucking anything. They don't know fucking anything. True. All right. Women's golf. Nelly quarter. Absolutely dominating right now.

I was actually watching this way over the Travelers Championship yesterday. Traveling all day on my flight, you can only watch obviously one TV at a time, which was nice that I had TV on the flight. Shout out to Delta. But I was watching this. Nellie Court has just been on an absolute tear lately. She was 25 under par at the Meyer Classic last week. One.

And then she was 19 under par at Atlanta Athletic Club. One, it's her third win of the year. She elevates number one in the world. She's only 22 years old. It's her first major championship. And she comes from insane athletic pedigree. Her sister, Jessica Corta, six LPGA tour wins. She's 28 years old.

Her brother, Sebastian, is 50th in the world, I believe, in tennis, or at least got to that point. One for the first time on the ATP this year in 2021. It's like a very much an up-and-coming tennis player. Her father was a Czech tennis player. Peter Corta, spelled P-E-T-R, by the way, which is a big hockey check move. I feel like there's a lot of Peter Bondra maybe was spelled that way. Yeah, P-E-T-R. And then her mother was a former top 30 player in the world playing tennis.

Her father won the Australian Open and was a French Open finalist in both singles and doubles. And then her boyfriend is an H-L player. So there's just an insane, insane amount of athletic pedigree going on with this family. But Nellicord, I think it's the first time a U.S. players won a women's major since like 2018, so it's clearly good for the game in terms of generating some interest here in the United States. But just on an outrageous tear right now, she's making Eagles left and right. She hits the ball a mile. She was like 30, 40, 50 yards ahead of Lizette Salas, who was her only competition over the weekend. And I think it's just great for women's golf overall that Nellie

court is up there because it's going to drive a lot more interest from American fans. I didn't realize she was only 22. Dude, they come out so young. She turned pro when she was like 17. I was trying to find where she went to college. I think she just didn't go to college. She turned pro so young. Holy smokes.

Yeah, that whole family, you're talking about that pedigree, that family reunion is very different than mine. They're like looking at, they're talking about that they're professional athletes. That's just a whole different thing. They're diving in pools and shit, walking around with chiseled bodies. Yeah. Just much different things. I'm eating potato salad on a on a park bench.

But I actually enjoy my under an overcast. Yeah, it was. It was overcast that day. You really, you just don't think the sun shines. No, I do. It's just when I think of like,

when I think of like, it's not Seattle. When I think of sunny places, I think of just, you know, beach fronts and sand. Sun only shines on Borrellys and Frankie's you know.

Yeah. I just picture just like doom and gloom everywhere. No. It's a very, it's the, The happiest people in the world, the nicest people in the world. I'm not saying that, you know, we got to get you back out there. I do need to get back out there.

Put it on the list. You know, shout out. That's all. I mean, that's crazy how young she is. I mean, like you're saying, it's one of the more, you know, the fact that women's golf is that young, I don't know how, like, what do you think the reasoning behind that is that the fact that these girls are able to just, like, dominate at the ages of, like, 18 and 19 years old as opposed to, like, what. like male sports, it's much later the development. It's a very good question because you see it a ton. I mean, you see it, there was, like we talked about a few weeks ago,

that'll like 11-year-old, I think she was, that made it to the U.S. Open a few years ago. And then you see, you know, the wins. I want to say somebody won at the age of like 15 or something like that on the LPGA tour. And when you look at that, you're just like, How could that possibly happen? Because no way, like you're saying, in men's sports, do you see that?

So I don't really know why. How about the girl Cocoa in tennis? She was like 14 years old in the U.S. Open. And like she was playing Wimbledon and shit. Like I'm looking at it right now. She's 17. She's been on the scene for like three or four years. Well, that's what's so bizarre about it, is that like they, when you see these

and, you know, like Lydia Coe, I want to say, has been pro. she's only like what 20 21 or something i feel like Lydia yeah it's like she's really young and she's been on the scene for ever so Lydia Coe is 24 and she has been a professional golfer since 2013 oh she's 24 yeah 16 that's that's that's that just goes to show that like you know girls have just much more competition at earlier ages like playing like like middle school, high school golf for them must just be a nightmare as opposed to like guys have a little bit more time to develop their game, right? Like if you're not firing on all cylinders by the age of 15 in the women's sports, you're done. It's over. Life has passed you by.

I mean, if you're a tennis player, Coco already has you beat. If you're 16 years old, just fine in your rhythm, Coco has been playing in Wimbledon for two years. That is, that's preposterous. I think it's the third time I've said that word today. Proposterous? Yeah. That's okay. Someone said to me out there before about, um, You know, one of the guys had the facial hair. Nick and KB, they're doing a buffet of bits. Yeah. And the word that people were using about their facial hair was preposter.

He just latched on to it. He just went right back into my head, you know? It happens. Bummer. But anyways, amazing work by Nelly Court. It'll be fun to watch. And I think, like, one thing about the women's golf game, I think everybody knows, but nobody really talks about,

is that it has lost a ton of interest in the United States over the last five, ten years, because there's so much international domination. And the only reason for that is simply, like, you root for your country. You root for people that, like, you relate to that have similar, like, cultural interests to you. And when that gets more distant,

it becomes harder to be emotionally attached and excited about certain players if you don't really relate or understand those players as much. I think it's hurt in the United States, especially the interest in the women's game that there haven't been a ton of dominant American female players in the last five, ten years. And like I said, it's been, I think, since like Stacey Lewis, several years ago, since an American player has risen to number one in the world.

And now Nellie Court is number one in the world. It's been since 2018, three years, since an American female has won a major in the LPGA. Now she's won a major. So I think it'll be overall very, very good for the interest, for women's golf in the United States of America, that Nellie Corrida is playing well and dominating the game because it's someone culturally and just being from the same country, seeing that American flag next to her name that American fans are going to root for. Totally agree. Yeah, it makes sense. It really does make sense. It's been utter domination, like you're saying, and the fact that now we have our person.

It is our person. That's like our country. That's our countrywoman. I was going to say countrymen. Country woman. And we're going to rally behind her. Like, it is fun to see that American flag next to it because you need the disparity on the leaderboard. You need to be able to, you need an American up there to, you know, represent the country to play.

It does lose interest when it's the same people winning all over and over and over again or the same country's winning over and over again. it just becomes stale. Yeah, and look at tennis, like even like men's tennis, for example. Like men's tennis, I feel like interest has gone way downhill in the last 30 or 40 years. It used to be way bigger. My dad talks about all the time. Like, tennis used to be bigger than golf. Like people used to go nuts for tennis.

But they also had a ton of American guys, like battling against each other all time. And now for our entire generation, like ever since Andre Agassiz, we haven't really had an American that has dominated and been huge on the male tennis scene, and therefore men's tennis hasn't been as exciting. Like Pete Sampras and Dragacy going at it, but now you've got, you know, Federer and Nadal and Djokovic, who none of them are American, and it just is harder to, like, latch on to the excitement.

So long story short, I think this, if Nellie Korda continues to dominate, I think it will generate a lot more interest from the average American sports fan in women's golf, which will be very, very good for the game as a whole going forward. So, congrats to her. She seems awesome. Her and her sister, Jessica, submitted a video for the LTPs,

so maybe hopefully at some point we get them on, but her nothing but good thing, super athletic family, so there's a lot of pedigree there, and she's just completely dominating the game right now, which is awesome.

I know we're kind of done with the travelers, but I do want to talk real quick, Kramer Hickcock. Yeah. What a name. What a name. He was going for his first win, obviously, so it's sad to see. I know we talked about that a little bit. But the one thing we did not talk about is Harris English.

his caddy. Have you seen a little bit of this on Twitter today? Yeah. So he was just in jail for selling cocaine for 10 years. And, um, Chong, Tommy Chong from Cheech and Chong tweeted out something today saying Harris, which was, this is just the most like bizarre combination of all time. But Tommy Chong today says, Harris, Harris English is caddy was my private chef in Taft federal penitentiary from 03 to 04. My man Eric, keep winning, my friend. What a world. What a fucking world. What a world. That fucking Tommy Chong saying that Harris. Why do I keep...

Harris. Why are you saying Harris? Why do I keep putting a fucking age at the end of Harris English's fucking name? Cool whip. Cool whip. Harris. Harris. Are you kidding me?

Harris English. Harris English. His caddy. To today. Was Tommy Chong's. What was it? Harris English's caddy was my private chef in town. Still, dude.

saying it with like an English accent. You were like, Harris. You and I were talking before the show about how I thought he, I mean, well, his name sounds European because Harris English. And that's how we were saying it before. And I think it might have gotten into your brain somehow. Harris English. Okay.

Harris English. Harris English. Harry. Dude, I just can't do it, man. I guess because English ends with the ISH. Dude, what's going on? It's been a long couple weeks for you, couple months for you. The brain is just frown.

The brain is fried. I.S. What the fuck is an IASH? Dude, all I want to say is... What's the capital of France? What's the capital of France? Paris. Okay.

Harris? I know. It's just the combination. All right. All right. All right. So Riggs and I are just going to take this. So...

So... Yo, I legitimately... What did I just say that? I don't know. Combination. Wow. Guys, I'm down bad right now. All right.

I'm down fucking bad right now. The bottom line is that Tommy Chong Yep. Was in Taff Federal Penitentiary. And Harris English's caddy was his private chef. What a combination that is. And what a story that this caddy has, you know? Right.

Dude was locked up in the penitentiary for selling cocaine. Now he's out pulling pins for Harris English at the Travelers fucking tournament. Yeah. Championship. That's good. That's quite a life that guy's live. It's quite a lot. Comeback story.

You think? I saw one of the articles was like trying to make a comparison between Harris Englishes. Now I'm on a roll. Harris English is, you know, he had to take it. So he's had some time away from the winning in his career. And his caddy has had some time away from freedom. Someone said it was a very, you know, far reach to compare the two. Oh, someone was legitimately like making the connection there.

Yeah. They say that they both have, you know, something in common where Harris English has had some struggles in his life on the golf course, reaching the top again. And his caddies had some struggles selling cocaine and getting locked up for 10 years. So they both have that bonding experience of comeback stories and reaching the top. That's a reach. That's a reach.

It's a reach. Yeah. It was very, very much reach. Yeah, that's not. I did not see that coming. I thought it had to be said. I didn't think it turned into me just having a melting brain. I mean, my brain is legitimately melting as we speak.

Luckily, none of that happened when you talked to Colin Moracowah, right? I don't know, did it? No, it didn't. Luckily. You're like Will Ferrell in old school. You blacked out during the Colin Moracawa at the debate when that happens to Will Ferrell. I'm trying to figure out what just happened in the last 10 minutes, but I'm on it. Harris English, I'm feeling good now.

You're on a roll. Harris English did not from 2013 November until the Century Tournament champions in Hawaii this year didn't win on tour. Now he's won twice this year. Yeah, so he's got something rolling right now. you know the guy um it's almost like he was in prison it's almost like he was in prison he was in a prison of his own golf game maybe one can say one could say locked away was his game as his caddy was locked away for selling cocaine see now you're starting to sound like a like a golf writer yeah there you trying to make a connection right locked away like his caddy for 10 years was harris english's golf

game yeah you should write that i'm sure the caddy's a great guy too i'd like to Speaking of caddies, did you see this guy in the European tour who saved his guy from going in the water? Yes. No, I didn't. It's a very good club. I'm sure the European tour knocked it out of the park because they fucking love promoting shit and they're so good at it. They're very good. Frankie, I just texted it to the group text.

I want you to watch this in real time. This was just a phenomenal, athletic, professional selfless movement. Hold on, hold on that. All right. Now that is Caddy Goals is what it says from the European Tour. Who, again, has 400,000 views on Twitter. These guys just put fucking numbers in seats. They put asses in seats.

They put numbers on videos. Yes. God, the European Tour has the best social media game in the world. All right. They crush it. Let's see this video here. Live reaction. All right.

Hold on. Let's see if the Internet. You think the Internet will work or no? Probably not. From a guy who was once upon a time of Caddy. What do you have done this? Oh my God. He hit it?

He's calling out the caddy. What a save. Phenomenal. Truly phenomenal. It was awesome. I love his like call, his reach out. Like that was a, I have no other options here. And that was like, like it's almost like a guy falling off of the cliff, the edge of a building and reaching out and like Spider-Man reaching down or like someone grabbing the hand.

Like when you're watching the movie, you don't see that extra hand. They zoom in on it. and like, boom. The leather hand grabs the slippery, slidey one. Yep. That's what I see right there. Wow, great on that caddy. So big week for caddies.

Good stories. A lot of good stuff going on with caddies. And I guess now we get to hear how your interview went with the number four ranked player on planet Earth. Frankie. Yeah. You know, I hit the mic. But let's just all just have an open mind about this. Trent can barely even look at me right now.

I'm looking at a guy. Something's happening to me. I'm looking at a guy who himself is like falling off a building. Just like trying to keep it together as he just keeps dropping things. He's hitting the mic. You can't say words. But like we're saying, it sounds like it went well, Colin Moracawa. And now a bunch of people are going to hear it.

Yes, have an open mind when you're listening to this. I was very nervous. But, you know, it's Colin Morikawa. And we wanted to just find out, you know, what his deal was. Why was he here in New York, number one? what is what does he got going on in his life how does he feel like he is performing recently like what's his life like is he happy with what he's doing yeah um you know spoiler alert he is happy because he's the fourth best golfer in the world he's going to the olympics we talk about that so

um i think it went well i think it went as well as it could have went with just me just getting thrown into the room and talking to colomorcao so here it is and uh i'm sure i'll hear all your feedback about it thank you very much boys real quick Well, you probably won't care about this, Trent, but the St. Louis Blues will be playing in the Winter Classic 2020, 22, uh, at Minnesota at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins. Wow. So the Blues Wild will be in the 2022 Winter Classic. That is nice. That's nice.

You know, I would say that that would, that there would be more excitement with that if they didn't like, I don't want to say like, whore out the, um, winter classic. But, man, agreed. Way too many outdoor games, man. Once they introduced that stadium classic, the stadium series, it just got too much, man. They're in like the Bay Area playing fucking outdoor games. They go to fucking Dallas. They go to Los Angeles. They did one at Yankee Stadium, Yankees Rangers, which was cool.

I mean, Islanders Rangers, which was cool. But then they did one the next night, Islanders Devils. I'm sorry, Rangers Devils. It's just too many. It should mean something. It should be once a year. You go to fucking Notre Dame and you play, you know what I mean? You play these big football stadiums.

They've oversaturated the way. It's crazy. It's actually crazy. Because as an outsider looking in, as a guy who does not follow hockey, every time I'm flipping around or every time there's an outdoor game, I'm like, that's really cool. It is really cool. And I guess I don't really know where I fall. You know, shocker, I don't know which side I'm on.

But I liked when New Year's Day, it was a winter classic. And that was it. Like, they picked one stadium. It was a football stadium and it was fucking huge. And they always tried to break the record for most fans at a hockey game. It was snowing. and, you know, one Canadian team or one, you know, Minnesota or St. Louis team would all play in the freezing cold weather, and it would be awesome on New Year's Day. You're hung over and you got to watch it.

Did they do it at Fenway? They did it at Fenway. Yes, they did. What was it like the Flyers or something like that? I think it was Flyers? Or was it Canadians Bruins? I can't remember. Could have been.

But, dude, they had, like, the first one ever, Crosby scored in the snow on, like, Ryan Miller. The best. Like, they've had so many good moments. They would do the, the winter. caps and like the stripes and the old school vintage stuff and they build it up they would do 24-7 on HBO where they would lead up to like the winter classic and it was a big deal and you're right now it's like there's 30 games but for a st louis blues fan it really cool yeah you should go to that game it'll be awesome um someone mentioned this year like that they were talking possibly about like one of the teams playing all of their games outdoors i remember like

remember when there was rumors during covid when they were like trying to see before the bubble of last year I remember like the Bruins were maybe going to play all their games at Fenway or something like that. And it was just like, we just are an outdoor sport now, I guess, for hockey. So, oh, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. Jesus, we're going to lose you in a lot of ways. I don't know, man. Colin Morikawa is on the show. You should stop eating.

I should just stop eating. I got to get out of here. It's fucking hot in the studio. I'm sweating. Enjoy Colin Morikawa. Would you like an easier way to golf to book your tea times? Well, the answer, my friends, is the barstool golf. Off Time app.

It seems a little slower-paced, but I kind of like it. Dude, I appreciate that. going to see how this goes. We're just going to kind of wing it. I haven't seen you since Taylor Made Media Day. I know. I see all those things getting posted and it's awesome to see. I still hate that I lost. I mean, that's what I was going to bring up. I make a birdie. You make a bogey. Yeah, especially. I mean, you made an eagle too before whoever. I think you're playing Tommy or something. So yeah. Yeah, I've worked on my game a little bit. Well, yeah, I was going to say you had a 60 degree, so it's not like I beat you with a full bag. But that way you are pretty good. But that way you are for, yeah.

You're already still pretty good. Yeah, I mean, I just had it that day. It's funny where, like, some days, it's just for an amateur golfer, you just click. And for, we filmed, like, eight to nine videos, and I was just on. And, like, I don't know if that's even comparable to, like, what you could say about your golf game where some days you're just better than others. But for an amateur, like, some days, things just make sense. One of the highlights, is that one of the highlights your golf career? 100%.

It has to be. Okay. I mean, playing at the PJ Tour pros and making Eagles, birdies, pars. I went five in one against Tor pros. That's so good. What do we talk? You can't say that against many other people. No, no, you can't.

But things have been good for you since, right? It's solid. Fourth overall in the world. Yeah. Does that mean something to you? Like, do you aspire to be number one or do you not really care about it? No, absolutely. Of course.

I think anyone that says they don't want to be number one, I don't know what they're doing. But for me, yeah, I absolutely do care about being number one in the world because it means you're doing something right. You can't just focus on the rankings, but there's so much to get. to number one, but to have that spot, hopefully, one day, you'd mean a lot. It seems like it's the pinnacle of the sport, even though we'd like to talk about majors. There's just something about being that number one, right? Like DJ had that, he has a crazy, you know, streak right now, or it just got, you know,

ROM is firing on all cylinders. But being able to compile all those weeks at number one, there's just something about, it's like you are the best, no matter how you perform from tournament to tournament, you've just put it together because golf's not like, you don't have to win every single week. And I know you've talked about, you know, you guys aren't salary-based. You have to just make your living by, you know, finishing towards the top. And if you can do that on a consistent basis, that should make you the best of all time, of the best in the world at that time.

Yeah, I think that's what shows, and that's when you look at some of the best players in the world, it's all about being consistent. Yes. Yes, they are able to close it out. And that's how you get to that number one spot. But you have to be consistent. And, you know, that's kind of the game. I've tried to build myself around since turning pro.

So we've seen little spurts of it. You know, right now I'm playing solid. But I want to keep that going. Like, I don't want it to stop. And, you know, I'm sure you're going to play bad here and there. But shoot, Tiger Woods did it. Like, let's put my mind to seeing how well I can play. Right.

I just feel like he's almost ruined statistics for you guys. Yeah. Is that ever going to back in the head? I wish I beat him in that cut streak. That bothers me. You were at 22? Yeah. And he was 25?

It was travelers last year. And like, man, was I grinding on that second day? Like I was grinding. Thinking about specifically the streak? No, not the streak, but just trying to make the cut, like knowing, like. Yeah. And here's the thing. When you think about the cut, you're most likely going to be around the cut, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Right. But I had to think about it. I mean, I was way out of the cut. So it's the only thing I could think about. And it just never went my way. But you know what? Took a week off, won the next week, and kind of worked out for the better. Totally.

So, but yeah, his cut streak made whatever it's at. like millions of years. Proposterous. Yeah, it's not something that I strive for, but like, that is, that's tough. Yeah, it's just, it seems as though there's guys in sports that kind of just ruin it for the rest of them. Like, I've said this about Wayne Gretzky with hockey. We were talking about a little bit of hockey before this, but he had achieved something that even the best of our time now, they can't even come close to, right? Like, if you take all of Wayne Gretzky's goals away, he still has the most points of all time.

That's not fair to the guys that are now playing in the NHL. And it seems like Tiger Woods has done stuff like with, you know, obviously being able to just accumulate all those stats in as little amount of time as he really played on the golf course. It's got to be kind of like a daunting feeling of being like, this guy who played the same sport as us did something that we can't even, I can't even imagine. No, exactly. And he's in his own world, right? Right. You can't even compare it. No.

So like you can't compare yourself to Tiger Woods. When you're in the same talks, it's great. Yes. But hopefully, you know, you look back and you can say you've been one of the best. if not the best players of your generation. Hopefully, you know, when you're 65, 70 years old, hopefully I make it that far. But yeah, you know, when you look back, just say, yeah,

you know, I did everything I wanted and I did everything I could. For me, I have no ceiling that I want to reach. I just want to keep pushing and we'll see where that takes me. It's going great right now. I mean, you're, you punch your ticket to the Olympics. Yeah. You know, top four in the U.S., that's got to be a really good feeling, man.

Oh, it's amazing. One of the best honors I'm going to be able to have in my life, even though we can't do a lot of things. We've got to kind of stay in this bubble. You can't take it away from me. I'm an Olympian. I'm going to be an Olympian for life, and that's going to be really cool, but obviously we're there to win gold. We had a little bit of discussion on foreplay the other day about, you know, guys are dropping out of it, and they don't want to commit. And, like, at the end of the day, like you're saying, you're playing for your country.

And I know that it's not like a team aspect. How do you feel about that where you're playing individually for yourself there as opposed to like playing with your teammates? Yeah, we're playing individually, but like I'm still playing for Team USA. Right. Like you want to add another medal. You want to add another gold medal to that kind of tally at the end of the Olympics. And yeah, I don't think I don't, I'm not going to feel like I'm playing for myself. I'm going to feel like I'm playing for Team USA, even though it still is an individual medal race.

So, you know, it doesn't matter. but man it gives me chills like thinking about it because like you just join another elite group of people that for us you know it's very different because olympics hasn't been it's not like it's our dream right every single four years or every four years that we go out and like maybe we're going to quit after the olympics right there's a lot of athletes that'll stop um that's not us but it's another kind of milestone that you can put on your career and just look back and be like man i was there i was playing in the olympics totally i totally get it and if i ever had the opportunity you have to go.

Regardless of where it is, what the regulations are, what the restrictions are. It's the Olympics, man. Are you putting a tattoo? Would you put a tattoo? Do I look like a tattoo guy to you? I mean, come on. I can't put a tattoo on myself. I don't know.

No, I can't put a tattoo on this. I can't. I'm sure there's a lot of Olympians out there that would never get a tattoo and they're like, I think more to your point, the people that strive to be Olympians their entire lives, I think that's something you're doing. You guys need to put out a poll and say, should call them work how I get a tattoo. Are you thinking about getting a tattoo? No, there's certain.

There's certain guidelines that I've already laid out to my girlfriend. There's only one way I would get a tattoo. If you get a gold medal. Yeah. And you will get a tattoo. I, oh, that's like a for sure thing I said. Yeah, no, I want the statement. I would think about getting a tattoo.

Frankie Brelly making headlines on his solo interview. So, I love it. I mean, there's a lot of things. A lot of things I got to go in place for that to happen. But, I mean, you know, Ricky Fowler got a tattoo. And, I mean, it's just cool. Yeah. You know you can associate Ricky Fowler.

Be in the Olympics. And to be honest, I don't think I watched it five years ago or whatever. I knew Ricky was in it because he always has a tattoo. I knew Cooch was in it because he won bronze. I didn't remember what the other two on the team. So maybe like for people to remember that I was at this Olympics, I got to get a tattoo. But man, I don't know where the heck I'm going to put that straight on the forehead. I don't hate it, man.

I like the way that you're kind of thinking about. It's not really thinking about your image, but you're starting to be yourself right now. Is that something that's coming with just being on tour for a little bit now? Yeah, I think you have to. You see so many guys out there. I mean, you've interviewed a million golfers now. You know, it's you don't want to just fall in that stigma of you're a professional golfer and this is who you are. You want to be yourself.

You want to have connections everywhere. You meet other athletes and you get to know them. And they've all kind of figured out who they are. Yeah. And I think. Sometimes in the golf world, we just kind of gets stuck into being a golfer. Like you're this dude who wears pants and a collared shirt. And, you know, that's not us.

Or that's not everyone. Well, you go to a place like Trubodore. I'm wearing the hat right now. Yeah. You're at... I'm at Summit in Vegas. Right. T-shirt, shorts.

Exactly. No shoes. Shorts. This is how I practice. Like, what I'm wearing today is probably what I'm going to wear next week if it gets washed. Right. Out to the golf course. And I'm very thankful for that opportunity that they do that type of stuff.

But that's how it opens it up, you know, people seeing me practicing a t-shirt and it's awesome. I was listening to you on the old man with the three and with JJ Redick. And, hey, we can't forget to mention Tommy Alter. Tommy Alter, yeah, sorry. Unfortunately, I think sometimes he gets left out of that. JJ Rock's such a good name. Sorry, Tommy. I love that podcast.

I love those guys. We got to get JJ on the show. He's a big four-point guy. And Tommy. And Tommy. Tommy, I'm never going to forget you. You mentioned something really cool. quick. It was almost in passing where you said like, you know, golfers aren't allowed to really

show who they are based off of, you know, when you get out of the car, you're wearing your golf outfit and people take snap shot. I love this idea of you wearing suits from the car to the golf course and show your personality. Show a little bit of like pizzazz. Show me who Kalamorkawa is. Yeah. Like I want to see your your crazy outfits that you can come up with. You know what? I might try this. So we're coming back to New York or New Jersey. Jersey for Liberty National for the first week of playoffs. Northern Trust. For Northern Trust.

Yes. And we have to take a ferry ride over. But there's going to be public, so I'm not going to wear golf clothes. And I'm not that recognizable. But maybe I'll start it that week. I've got to hop in a ferry. Maybe I've got to look like a business person that I'm going to show up. I don't love putting on suits.

But, like, if you made this a thing. But I've, yeah. If you made it the thing where, like, if you're in contention on Sunday and you show up and like you're all black and white, like, you know, you put a bow tire on or something and you're there for business. Dude, that is, that's a thing. Maybe, yeah, maybe I'm not even in contention. I'm just coming down to play golf. Love it. No, I love it. You're there for business. All right. Michael Barkin, Chicago, we're going to set this up. He's the one that makes my suits. We, uh, yeah, we're going to need four, we're going to need four suits for, uh, Northern Trust.

Dude, I love that you're talking about because then no one else can see your idea, because it's a fantastic idea. We will be going to, crazy every time we see you in a new suit. I mean, that's just the way we, that's the way we act or other sports. Me in a suit on a ferry, like, it's going to look ridiculous. It's going to look fire. You're going to have the Statue of Liberty in the background. I'll take a picture every day. It'd be amazing. All right. You know what? I'm not 100% sold down. I'm going to do it, but like, I think it's a great idea. Think about it. Yeah. Who are, so more to that point, like, who, who, who are you, like, off the golf course? Have you, have you found that out yet?

I mean, you're so young. Yeah. I'm just, I'm a pretty laid-back guy, but I'm so competitive. Yeah. Like, I want to compete. Like, sports are my life. I love going out and shooting hoops when I'm back home with some buddies. But sports kind of like, that's what revolves around me.

Not just golf. Like, I didn't watch golf growing up. I could care less, unless Tyra was in the hunt. But yeah, you know, I love food, love outdoors. I love the beach. Adrenaline is kind of what drives me. Like, I want to go skydiving. But my agent...

You've never done it. No. Agent, family, people, you know, people that want me to live. they're like no probably not the best idea but like I that's like I'm an adrenaline junkie So is that part of your You think that's what drives you on the golf course too

Well you know what yeah I mean I think when you're in contention And that's why like it's so hard To put yourself in contention But when you're in contention Like I love being in that position Whether I play well or not You know who knows

But I just love being that position Because like that's the energy That's like you want to you know It's a lot different than waking up early Sunday showing up in a two-sum and kind of going off finishing before, you know, midway happens. Right. But that adrenaline that kind of runs in you, I love it. You can see it, man.

When we're watching you on TV, you're just so dialed in. We've actually seen it at when, and I don't know if this is by design what you do, but when we're at these championships, like we're at the U.S. Open or we're at the PGA and we see you, you're just locked in, man. It's crazy. Like we try and like, oh, call it. And you're just freaking belining right to the driving range. Sometimes I'm observant and I'm sorry for doing it.

No, no, we love it. I love it. But like it's kind of, yeah, like my eyes are open and I see things, but all I care about is where I'm going next. And when you're at these tournaments, that's what you kind of have to do. Like, or what I have to do is just zone out everything. When I'm there, you're there to do business. You know, this is what we're here to do.

Right. Gentlemen, you see what I'm wearing right now? Those look like shady rays, my friend. Oh, look at those things. Wow. They are shady rays. and what's really special about these, they're high quality shades

for far less than expensive brands. One of the best warranties in the entire sunglass industry. We're using the code four gentlemen. We're getting 50% off to or more pair at shady race.com. So I do have more pair right here. I actually went alone because I really wanted

a couple pair of sunglasses. The deal is so good that I couldn't pass it up. I didn't want to hit up any advertisers. I didn't do anything. I just went and got these because they're awesome. So this is my, pair, they're a little bit more like kind of brown. Yeah.

So deep timber is what that's called. Ooh, deep timber. And then this is sort of my murdered out, the black pair. Your black slate. What are those 800 bucks? You know, 850? What are those things cost you? That's a really good question, Frankie, because you can actually get two pair for $48.

I mean, come on, man. You know what I'm talking about? Those things look right here. Deep timber, 48 bucks. That's nuts. Deep timber. I love that name, too. honestly when it comes to sunglasses you know we lose them they crack whatever you go all these

places you put them on your head they fall off you're on a jet ski they're in the ocean you just need something that looks good and doesn't it doesn't break your bank like why go out and spend all this money on sunglasses when we all know that it's really hard to keep one pair of sunglasses for a long time we all know it so shady rays has done us a solid by making these sunglasses is look really, really good. They look really, really expensive, and they're just worth $48. Are you kidding me?

Come on. That's as good as a guess. Two pairs. Two pairs. For 48 United States American dollars, and these things are sharp. They're very high quality. They've got the best warranty deal in pretty much the world.

If you use the code for, that's 50% off two or more bare. Use the code for at Shadyrays.com.

It's got to be so freaking difficult out there. We were just talking about this the other day, but you know, your T4 at the U.S. Open. Talk to me about, so you're four back of the leader. When you stretch that over four days, how close is that really? really. We find that to be, you're 2 under and ROMs 6 under. That seems like a lot, but that's one stroke around. Yeah.

That's one missed putt. That's what sucks about golf. You can look back at so many shots. Do you do that? No, because I can't blame it on this one shot. I can't blame it on one thing I did because in that moment, you were trying to hit the best shot you could. So, you know, yeah, you can't do it.

I think guys that do it that are on the PGA tour are just going to, they create more stress for themselves. And golfers that do, they create a lot more stress because you're like, oh, man, why didn't I make that putter? Why didn't it crazy? You could have hit the other shot a little better. Or you could have, why didn't you hold out on this shot? Like, it's kind of ridiculous.

Right. No, I see that. What did you think of Tori, the setup? It was solid. I love Tori. It's pretty straightforward. It's kind of what's in front of you is what you're going to get. You know, there's not a lot of this or that.

But, I mean, looking back at that leaderboard with nine holes, go. I think he was one of the best leader boards I've seen. So cool, man. So cool. Like, he could have, like, no one knew where he was going to go. The names were outrageous. Yeah, that's what you want to see at a major championship. And for the leader, or for the winner, for John to only shoot six under and all of us be right around there. Like, that's major championship golf. What do you think about the 18th hole? We've had a lot of discussion about it, how it's such a scoreable hole. I think that that should be implemented into every major venue. Man, I love, I love the distance of it because it puts a perfect five wood in

my hand so I can just launch it as high as I want. It's like five wood's going to be landing softer than six iron, five iron, four iron, whatever. So I actually played that hole really well. I think I was four under an eagle, two birdies. Didn't birdie the other day, but it's a great finishing hole. Risk, reward, it's firm. You can possibly hold a wedge maybe, get some spin.

I mean, you know, I thought Louis still had a chance. You didn't know. Is there any part of you that thinks that that was a little too safe, his, his play? Like, is it go for broke? No, you can't go for that. You can't. In the rough?

Where it was? Like, we were saying, like, maybe there's a way in which you can find a lane around the water. I was standing there one of the days. I think it was the first day. I had a great shot. It's when I made Eagle. And I was standing right next to the water.

And it's so dry and firm that you get anything rolling left. It's straight in the water. So it just carries it in. So there's nowhere to, yeah, there's nowhere to hit it. Man, it's just, but like, the fan in me and like the kid that wants to see someone just do something magical. Yeah, I mean, you always want to see the playoffs. You always want to see overtime, unless it's like your team that you want to win. I know what you mean, but.

Speaking of other holes, we've had a huge debate on this and we've asked a couple players, I want to get your take on this. So you take an average golfer, right? Yep. Me. That's me being saying on average. They're not going to be happy. I said that. I mean, yeah, you're 5 and 1 against PJ. H. H. Which hole would I have more success on? Or would you think I would have more success on? Would it be 12 at Augusta or 17 at TPC Sawgrass?

A better score? Yeah. If you had to put money on me, you know, making the better score on either hole. Yeah. Is it going to be 12 at Augusta or 17 at Sawgrass? I think 12 at Augusta. What's been the consensus? Well, you know, Riggs says that it's just an impossible hole when you look at Tiger Woods

make a 10 on it. 12 at Augusta? 12 at Augusta. Yeah, the only thing is that, like, I imagine you just blowing it, or any amateur golfer. Yeah, they're going to be nervous or whatever. You can blow it left and a little long. Even if you're in the bunker, whatever, you chip it out sideways. You could probably make five.

I mean, 17 at sawgrass, you're going to hit possibly one in the water and you're going to drop. So you're hitting three. That drops not easy. Yeah, I mean, you're probably not going to make up and down from there, so you might hit it in the water again. And it's a trampoline green. So you're ready in five. So, I mean, it's the same thing with Augusta. You hit in the water.

Then you can hit it over. Yep. Yeah, you could coach someone to possibly play 12 better. But, I mean, they're both tough holes. All right, another one. You have to pick four new majors. The four that we currently have have been Thanos, like, snapped away. Okay, okay.

Which tournaments are you picking to beat the majors? I pick L.A. at Riviera. Yeah. I think a lot of people love that course. It's a great course. I'm picking Mirfield because I love it. love it um wow i have two i mean those are two my favorite courses i say everywhere um this players count no it's a fit i mean i mean people say what do you think about that the

fifth major you think that that what do i think like you think that it should be considered a major i mean people have talked about the fact that it should be considered a major go back i mean i think we're i think we're stuck at four majors and i think we should leave it at that but the players is another milestone that every great legend will have in their careers. True. So it's like- You can include that in your four though because it's like, yeah, I'm going to put that as a major. Let's see.

So I have West Coast, Middle East. Man, what would I love to see? I'm trying to think. I mean, it's crazy. We play so many places. Yeah. It has to have a little bit of prestige. Yeah.

What about the John Deere Classic? You want to make it just crazy? just for uh you know just for trent just no you know tractors no he says for some reason during my during my day today we've talked about the john deer way too much you've talked about the john deer today yeah it's come up multiple times in what world in a bad in a bad way just we were talking about food and like come on what's will you ever play the john deer again or ever i'm sorry i don't know i'm never going to say no trying to get you to make like headlines over here all right like you're going to get a tattoo you're going to wear a suit on the freaking so i don't know i can't come out of

with a fourth. That's all right. You gave me three good ones. Dude, Pebble's pretty good. There you go. Pellble's really good. There's a major there already.

Do the farmer's insurance too. It would be solid. Tori. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Now, I'm going to count those out. I don't know. Okay.

Three majors. We're only got three majors. What is a career round? A plus one, 71, or an even 73? It was a par 70, and our guy Lurch shot a 71. It was one over. Okay.

And then he went and played a par 73, and he shot even par. Our question was, which is the career round? Right, like what do you, like one is shooting even par? They're both career rounds. Here's the thing. Here's why I'm going to say it because I had, I had the lowest score for the weekend at the PGA in a major,

1-29. Yeah. But I don't think what I shot, I mean, I shot, what I shoot 11 under? I see what, I said. Whatever. Yeah, I shot 11 under. that might not have been the lowest score to par.

So there's two records. And there's always those two records. So you can have those two records. So you don't firmly stand on one side or the other that like you either choose two par or you choose. No, but if someone has asked, hey, have you ever shot even yet? You say yes. Right. That's how this debate came up.

Someone said, what's your best round of all time to him? So even par? So what's the 73? Yeah, I don't care. Par was 73. But he shot 71 one day. But the part was, but the part was 70, the course was probably different. The course was probably shorter, right?

Yeah. It's a completely different course. Okay. All right. So at least we got an answer on that from Kalamara-Kauer. Yeah, come on. That's pretty simple. Really?

Yeah. To me, it seems like it's not that simple. I don't know that it's an easy answer to say that, you know, oh, like, because you're in the back of your mind, you're always saying, well, I did shoot a 71. It's always like that, well, I also, I shot 71 on a course. It was a little bit shorter. Well, it's not like the 70. It's not like it was a,

par 77 and we've never heard of it. Right. Like there are courses that have par 73s and people play. We don't play them on the tour, but like, yes, that's a thing. Speaking of different courses. I wouldn't bring it up. No. All right, so here's another one then that we always have to bring up.

Par three course hole in one. Is it a hole in one? Yeah. So I've gotten one at Pioneer's the cradle. I can say I have a hole in one. Yeah. I love it. I freaking love this guy.

Yeah, why not? I've gotten so much shit on Twitter because I said I got a hole in one. Really? You wouldn't believe the amount of shit. They gave me a little coin and everything that I got a whole one. Everyone's like burn it. No, I'd count it. I'd count it.

I mean, there's some pretty cool par three courses. It's 77 yards. I'm pretty sure the one. No, no, no, no. It was 77 yards and it was off a mat. My last part three was at LACC on their 15th hole, and it's only like 100 yards. But it's at LACCC, like it's a legit golf course. Pioneers, the cradle's like sick.

I mean, I would count it because like, that was your first? Yeah. Off of Matt. Yeah. I mean, I'd still, I'd still count it. Here we go.

Here we go. We're going to put it in. There's another category you're going to put it in, you know? It's like, that's what I'm trying to get away from. Same thing with the 73, 71.

I don't want to say this was my score, but, I got a hole in one, but it was off a mat. Yeah, well, that's the thing. Everyone, if you only have one, one, everyone's always going to ask, where'd you have it?

You're like, part three course. Like, oh, man. Um, well, go, go make another whole in one and, uh, you don't have to want to go. I don't think I'll ever do it. Dude, it's, it's all luck. It's all luck. What do you think is more impressive to say, a whole on one or an albatross? Albatross. So you'd take an Ambitrust over a whole one.

I've never had one. I've never had them. Six million to one odds. I looked it up. It's, yeah, Albatross by far. I mean, I wouldn't take away my whole and ones, but like, how many whole in ones do you have? I only have three. How young were you on the first one? Um, I think I was like 12 or 13, 13, maybe. I had my first two, yeah, back to back within a week.

No way. Right before my birthday, it was at my home course, ate iron, flushed it, thought it went in, walked up, went in next week, played the same hole. Were you with people? Were they going absolutely bananas? Yeah, I mean, that's insane. You were 12 years old? I was like 12 or 13, and then I didn't have one until Walker Cup, practice round.

Were you just always sick at golf? No, I mean, I've been, I've been decent. Like, was there ever a time where you just, like, didn't think you'd make it, or you always knew that you were going to be coming up? I never thought I wouldn't. I always thought, I mean, just keep getting better every day. I can't imagine. I mean, I've been very lucky.
