Starting point is 00:00:22 So you're stupid if you don't use them. Boys, it's nice to be back. We haven't been back in a long time. It feels like it's been a long time since we all been together. I haven't been to my apartment in almost like two weeks. And you just moved, right? Yeah, I just moved. So you haven't really been there.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I haven't been home in, yeah, like nine days. You got detained. I got detained last night. It's been a crazy, you know, it's been a crazy week. I'm happy to be back. I'm kind of a zombie right now, but I'm pulling through it big time. You guys all walked off the elevator today and it was just, it was. Yeah, and I feel like I haven't talked.
Starting point is 00:00:53 The Walking Dead. I haven't talked golf in a long time. It's been like mainly just Super Bowl and football and just like content. just going 100 miles an hour. And, you know, I was looking for, I was, I was, I was keeping my eye on things all week, even though it was like the busiest week of the year. I was keeping my eye on things. I saw, I saw, you know, Ricky and stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:09 So I'm excited to talk about this. We got a ton to get into. A lot of stuff. A lot of stuff. In our world. It is wild because we've got this world, this content world that we do at Barstool outside of golf. And we've been busy as fuck in that world.
Starting point is 00:01:21 It makes you forget, like, what's going on in the actual world. They're, there, from the time at, like, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. You forget what day, time. Like, you're just constantly. running to do things doing guests doing radio and then like you look at your phone you're like oh yeah like what happened today i haven't been home i was looking it's february 4th i haven't been home since january 25th that was the last time i was home so after this business of the podcast is the last thing between us and going home we have daniel kang on this show anybody who doesn't know
Starting point is 00:01:50 or anybody who's kind of a newer listener we've had daniel kang on twice she's the number 18th ranked woman golfer in the world lady golfer she's cool and as shit. She's hilarious. We first had her on like two years ago after she won the KPMG women's PGA championship, major championship, not to brag. We had her on like two days after that. She was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:02:12 This is the third time we've had her on. And once again, she's absolutely phenomenal. She's very, very funny. She's the people's women's golfer. She's sort of like R. Kisner to the LPGA tour. Yeah. This is my favorite time having her on.
Starting point is 00:02:23 There's a lot of Dick Trophy talk. People like that. A lot of Dick Trophy chatter. She's a cool. She's a cool check. She's very cool. She is awesome. So stick around.
Starting point is 00:02:32 We got about 40 minutes with Danielle Kang towards the end of this. Speaking of guests, the reason we haven't chatted for a while is we had the Bubba Watson stuff last week. I was at Bubba's home course. Very interesting developments. Bubba has probably been, look, we had JT on. We've been hard on JT. Bubba, though, is the longevity, the passion with which we've been calling Bubba out for stuff that we don't like. It has been years.
Starting point is 00:02:59 And years of that, the internet has turned hard on Bubba Watson for several years. Now we've done multiple shows where we've talked about image-wise, maybe the worst thing that happened to Bubba Watson was winning the Masters because he just became so much more prolific. And with that, people kind of didn't like a lot of what they saw. I don't know how you boys felt about it, but a couple things. One, so this Bubba Watson thing was set up several months ago. It was actually going to happen in November and then got pushed off until waste management.
Starting point is 00:03:29 week. But I went out there. It was a solo mission. They were sort of like we have one extra spot in our foursome and then we're also willing to do a little bit of a sit down interview. Obviously, I was like, yep, let's do it. My thinking going in was he obviously, we got Frankie's alarms going out. Definitely, maybe the third second time that's happened. That's the pizza review. He's got to go up on Instagram. Did you post the pizza? I posted it. Why do you put the alarm you always posted? No, I get it. It's a snooze, right? Like I hit it real quick when I'm up there. I don't know, man. I don't know why
Starting point is 00:04:03 it's happening to me. Go on. Anyways. So, so Baba invites me to his home club, Estancia. Top 70 course, unbelievable name. Estancia. I was saying it Astantia at Estancia at first. That's insane. You were trying to church it up like Frankie Brella does. Astonia. It just didn't
Starting point is 00:04:19 work. Estancia. Not like, I wasn't pronouncing it like Chia pet, but I was saying Estancia. And it's Estancia, apparently. Anyways. Sounds like the name of like a beautiful foreign woman. Astonchia. Yeah, I agree. Like, that could be in the new Aladdin. That could be like Aladdin's girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Or it's like a girly meeting Game of Thrones. Estancia. Yeah. She could be from like this other part of the world, similar to Calisi, but like a new area. Calicia and Estancia go to see. There she's across the narrow sea. Correct. And she's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:04:48 She works in a brothel. Boys, let me tell you this. Estancia was beautiful. This place is like up high perched on like this high hilltop or little mini mountain, if you want to call it. There's a bunch of views overlooking. the city. So obviously they kind of, they kind of warm me up, peppered me up for this whole thing. Going in. Okay. When somebody, when Bubba invites me out there and I know we're going to do
Starting point is 00:05:10 an interview and we're going to play golf at his home club, obviously he's not going to be a dickhead to me. So I know going out he's going to be nice. You got, you're getting whined and dined. You know, well, I know he's going to be nice. However, a big part of me thought he's still going to be a little bit of an introverted weirdo. He's going to be awkward in conversation. Maybe he'll kind of play his own ball and like not really worry too much about what we're doing and we'll have a little bit of interaction here and there he'll be a nice enough guy because that's obviously the reason I'm out here and then we'll do our interview and we'll go about our way that is where I was very surprised was bubba was not awkward at all I was talking with kisner about it last night and kis was
Starting point is 00:05:45 like yeah bubba's good people he's like i like bubba's always like nice guy he's good to chat with blah blah blah blah blah was funny like so jake and i rolled in jakes here our producer jake for anybody who doesn't know jake and i roll into the clubhouse it's like noon 11 o'clock noon something like that last monday we roll into the clubhouse it's like bubba ted scott and like five other people that are all part of bubba's team at lunch they've got two chairs for us we sit down we're just like breaking bread with like the wop the watson crew yeah that's a scene and they're chit-chatting about the champions dinner bubba's telling funny stories about like him and tiger giving each other looks across the table at the champion's
Starting point is 00:06:22 dinner at the masters like like giving each other little facial expressions reacting to the food based on who the winner was that year. He starts telling these stories, and him and Ted Scott are, like, interact and they're chit-chatting. So it's very clear right away, like, oh, these two don't fucking hate each other. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And obviously, the pray for Ted Scott, all that, which we discussed. So then we play the 18 holes. We have a whole video that's going to come out from that. We filmed everything.
Starting point is 00:06:44 We filmed basically every shot. We had a camera crew out there. Bubble was chirping me a little bit. We had some back-and-forth. You're going to see what he's like in a practice round. You're going to see what he's like putting a brand-new putter in the bag. You're going to see what it's like,
Starting point is 00:06:56 him hitting the golf ball up close. I said this last time, but he out drove me by 61 yards on one hole, where I legitimately hit a very solid drive. I think I would call it like a 9 out of 10 drive for me. It went 282, Bubba hit one 3.43. That doesn't make any sense. I mean, imagine he hit a good drive, 282. With that frame, man?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Dude, he roast the ball. You were telling me, like, he'll, like, aim 50 yards to the right. And you would be like, where's Bubba about to hit this ball? And it just, like, ends up right down the middle. And in desert golf, it's not like you can just blast it anywhere. Like, Desert golf, if you miss where the grass stuff is, you're just fucked. Right. Like, the ball's out of play.
Starting point is 00:07:34 You're in, like, the desert with bushes and jackpins. Right. You just can't even play golf from there. So it's not like, you know, some wide open lynxie golf course. He's aiming 30 yards right and just hitting these gigantic cuts. On the 631 yard, I think it's par 5, like 13th hole out of Estancia. He hit driver iron until like 20 feet. It was just, it was insane.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And to hook the, and to like shape the ball that much and to be that confident, like, I guarantee, I haven't seen the footage yet, but I'm assuming he just like ropes it 30 yards, 40 yards to the right and just picks up the tee and walks away. And you're all like looking at the ball like, where's this ball going? And then it just ends up right in front of the green. Dude, every time. It's insane. I could not believe how accurate he was off the tee. He, so I was saying this too, he legit, he didn't make a putt all day, okay?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Couldn't putt to save his life. Actually, look pathetic with the putter. I don't want to say anything. It was the first question I asked you. I was like, is seeing him putt like one of the most incredible things ever? Because you would assume when you're playing with a professional golfer at the level of a Bubba Watson that like when you're 10 feet and in like everything goes in.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Like I'd just be laughing out loud. Like, oh, this is in. Don't get me wrong. Like he's a professional golfer. So his putting's not as bad as like bad golfers. Right. Obviously he's professional fucking golfer. He's one.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He's the top 20 guy in the world. But for that level. But dude, like he too, he had this new putter in the bag. He's trying like the Bryson putter, and he had never putted with it before. He putted on the practice screen for like five minutes before the round and then just put it in play and literally put it in play this week at the waste management and finished where he finished.
Starting point is 00:09:03 A five. And he putted terribly in the round we played together. He played from 7,300 yards out of Estancia. He shot seven under par. Didn't make a putt all day. So if he's on on the green, he's like shooting our 59. I don't know how he wouldn't break 60. It's not like this course was easy.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I mean, it was long as shit. It was crazy. He um so he his team I was kind of talking with a cut like his agent this week of the waste management I was like man I'm stunned that he just put that putter in the bag because he didn't even putt well with it when we played and it's just new and he'd never even try it he's leaning up against his lead arm and stuff it's like a long putter all this stuff and he was like well he's never finished inside the top hundred in putting on the pGA tour so we figure if he puts a new putter in the bag and it's weird or awkward can't get any worse That's a good approach I was like
Starting point is 00:09:54 Well that actually makes a lot of sense He had one moment Where we did get a couple Like real life looks at Bubba Being like frustrated on the golf course Even in what he called was like a hit and giggle Which I loved because it was authentic He calls it a what?
Starting point is 00:10:09 A hit and giggle How did that come up a conversation Like oh that's just a hit and giggle So it was actually during the podcast We were chatting And I was like oh yeah During like our practice round today I were going to call and he goes
Starting point is 00:10:19 Oh we call that a hit and giggle It's a hit and giggle It's a hit and giggle giggle. Hitting giggle. Such a bubba thing to say. It's a very bubba thing to say, and it's such a way, like, it makes itself. The difference is, like, I say skull fuck, and he says hit and giggle.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Correct. It's like the huge difference right there. There's, yeah, there's anger inside of you, a lot of it. More than him, I would. Like, I don't say, like, uh, I peel, like, I peel, like, I peep, yeah, but hit and giggle is, like, a friendly fun thing. A skull fuck is a horrible thing that ruins your life. I know, but I'm just, like, I don't have a word for when I, like, I get angry on
Starting point is 00:10:48 a T-box or whatever, but like, I'm just saying, I would put a little more, you know, jagged edge on the end. And he's putting, like, rainbows and butterflies at the end of it. Like, hit and giggle. I see, like, my little pony going on top of, like, a rainbow. Yeah, I mean, I get, you're doing your whole, like, you know, I get the someone that hasn't met and played golf at Bubba Watson. I mean, we're going to do this now until he calls up and says, we're going to do this now
Starting point is 00:11:08 until Bubba Watson calls up the radio show, it calls up the podcast and he's like, Frankie, you're a little bitch. Let me say that. That's where this ends. Because I've hit at Bubba Watson for years as well. And my takeaway from everything was, just like all the listeners where the closer we get to these guys
Starting point is 00:11:21 I like these people and that's unfortunate are they dragging us in just to get I have. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. You can't hide for seven hours who you are.
Starting point is 00:11:33 You'd have to be a real sociopath to do that. Right. I get that like if I get when I would get sure for meeting Bryson for like five minutes on the driving range, sure you could put on a show that. Right. But when you play golf like that, that's why a lot of people love golf for business meetings
Starting point is 00:11:46 stuff like that. When you go for four and a half hours in the golf course somebody, you're going to see them upset. You're going to see them happy. You're going to see them with their buddies. You're going to see them in all kinds of different ways. And you can't really hide. And then we did the lunch beforehand and all that. So for me, and again, I went in knowing, like, all right, he's going to try to church you up.
Starting point is 00:12:02 He's going to try to be, like, friendly and rehab all that stuff. By way, we're going to come up with, like, a term for what we're doing to all. We have to call them. Yeah. Image rehab. That's too. I had a good one. It was like the foreplay.
Starting point is 00:12:16 relationship renaissance tour wow that's a mouthful that's a mouthful it's a lot the four play renaissance for what it was it the four play
Starting point is 00:12:24 relationship renaissance no that's like in iron man where he's got that really long name they're like you gotta chop it yeah you just got chop it down you got chop it I'm just throwing things up
Starting point is 00:12:33 what is it was in a final draft what are the letters of that four play f-pr-r-t too much too much yeah I'm just workshoping I can just remember
Starting point is 00:12:41 a couple years ago Bubba Watson did like a 60 minutes piece I don't remember that at all and he was super awkward on that so I was stunned that he was as cool and as engaging in the interview as he was
Starting point is 00:12:52 it was surprising to me how I'm not surprised but I guess it made a lot of sense how well he and Ted Scott get along I mean they're just like best buddies right they played golf together they rode in the cart the whole time they're ripping off each other they're making jokes off each other and they just clearly were
Starting point is 00:13:08 like a very tight team now you see that for seven hours eight hours but I guess on the other side of the argument is like you're saying that you saw them and like that that is the real bubba but like we've seen bubba also are you are you saying that like what we see on tv when he just like berates his caddy and like and like everyone on the tour like despises this guy like that's not bubba well so essentially the way that he explained it was like when i miss a putt and i say like oh teddy
Starting point is 00:13:38 i'm not blaming teddy scott he's like i'm saying as like a team like oh man it's my god can you believe that that missed, like file that away. We need to file that away that that broke that way. And like, we're in this together. Rather than blaming Teddy, he was just saying in the same way that you might be like, oh, like Trint Daddy, like after you miss a putter or something like that is the way that he explained it. And then when, you know, and then the other thing that he talked about was like, well,
Starting point is 00:14:04 if somebody comes and spends all day with me and they kind of see the real type of person I am versus if I play 72 holes of tournament golf and they capture a seven second clip, like that might make me or that will make me look like an asshole. And then another example they used was like, if you went out and played golf, like, if I went out and played golf with my brother and a camera crew came in, they could film and capture a couple five or ten or fifteen second clips that would make it look like my brother and I fucking hate each other. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:38 When in reality, like, my brother's my best friend. Yeah. But like you have that brotherly, like you don't, you're not sitting there all the time super, cautious and concerned about his feelings. You're just like, that's your boy. You're just reacting emotionally. So that was sort of his explanation. People could take it however they want.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Again, like just having met and like been there for longer than just five minutes, that was my takeaway. Now, when I still watch bubble play, there's still certain reactions that he have that turn me off big time, where I think he comes off like a whiny baby and very unlikable on the golf course. Having like seen it up close, I have a different interpretation of it to a degree. But still,
Starting point is 00:15:14 And that's the same way with JT, too. I still think J.T. comes off a little whiny on the golf course. And I think it's very distasteful, 100%. However, like, when you get somebody, and I do think that they're much more open in our environment, like JT, obviously was with all of us. Bryson obviously was with all of us. And I think a lot of the reason people love the Bubba interviews because he was with me as well. And they were, like I said, riven off each other and all that. So that was sort of my takeaway was that he wasn't as awkward and, like,
Starting point is 00:15:44 like introverted as I thought he was going to be. He was very chit-chatty. That was, again, confirmed with Kiz. Kiz was like, you know, like, yeah, he gets a horrible rap. Like, yeah, there's certain parts about him that are a little weird. Fine, whatever. But Kiz was like, no, he's always been good people like and whatnot. So again, like those are kind of the examples that I'm going off of.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I've had other people, too, say, like, well, you can catch him on a really good day. And apparently you can catch him on a really bad day. Yeah. So it's obviously more complicated than just one like, oh, I had a good time playing golf and the guy's perfect now. but from my experience and he also got to realize during the interview I mean Jake was there for it during the interview it's me Ted Scott
Starting point is 00:16:21 Bubba and legitimately five people that are all on his team two feet off frame just sitting there watching us so I was like well Jesus Christ yeah that's tough it was tough that takes it away from like you know I guess a lot of the ways
Starting point is 00:16:37 that we do interviews or the way that we interact with athletes that is appealing to our fans is that we do it as if we're sitting at a bar, right? And like, you're just sitting with one of your boys. And, like, when you're sitting in front of, like, a guy's management team under, like, the bright lights of, like, you know, it's like, like, like, you're saying, like, all the people in his team just sitting in chairs, like, basically stadium seating, just watching
Starting point is 00:16:58 you ask every question. That's like, that's not the, that's not the ideal bar stool scenario on which to ask it. So it's like, you're not going to get those, like, a hundred percent. And, like, if I could do it over again, I would have said to them beforehand, hey, like, I'll be honestly, in order for this to go the way that we. Like in order for it to just be authentic as authentic as possible, you guys should probably just step outside. Like I'd find myself asking my question and looking over and being like, oh my God, are they like writing something down? Like, no, I shouldn't be like that.
Starting point is 00:17:25 And don't get me wrong. Like that, I don't think it really played much of an influence, but it is important to just say that that was the fact. And I had spent the whole day with those people too. They were out on the course with us. They were grabbing drinks with us here and there. So like we had built relationships at that point. It wasn't just this like business transaction. We had become friends and all that.
Starting point is 00:17:41 but if I could do it over again, I probably would have said, like, hey, guys, do you mind if you're just not here during this? And we'll probably, and because of how well it went, we'll probably get that opportunity now. It's like, you make a relationship with these guys. Like Bubba now, like, knows that this is a place that he can go and talk and, like, and come off, like, with people actually liking him. Just like we've done with J.T. and Bryson, where it's like, all right, now I do want to go to these guys and talk. Right. And, and again, like, I guess the biggest takeaway for me was, that he just he wasn't standoffish he was chit-chatty he was conversational he didn't just treat it like all right i guess this media guys here that's kind of like right that that has a decent
Starting point is 00:18:26 following so i'll be nice to him because that you just can't fake that for seven hours i just don't think that's not i agree he was and again jake was there for the whole thing he was like showing me different views after every t's like if you look over here rigs like you can see this stadium over there that's like 50 miles away, this, that. Like, he was just very engaging, which that surprised me. I knew he'd be nice. I didn't think he'd be that engaging. By now, most of us has started racking our brains about what Valentine's gift is

Starting point is 00:20:05 Again, here's what you do. You go to 1,800flowers.com, click the radio icon, enter code for play. playing with him. Have you ever played with Parsie Alley? Did you ever play alongside him? Yeah, when we did the Mulligan Challenge. Right, right. So, and you've been next to Kiz.
Starting point is 00:20:20 I don't think you've ever... This was the first time I'd ever actually play golf with a professional, like a PGA tour professional. Now, but, like, it's a pretty good one to start off. Now, that's, it's insane. But my question is, like, when you see him hit the ball and strike the ball, could you notice a difference between the way he plays up close as you do, like,
Starting point is 00:20:38 kids? Like, is there that much of a jump? Because he is like one of the top golfers in the world as opposed to kids who like just find I mean well the only reason I would say yes is because they play such a different game right his is Mr. Consistency right kids hits it straight kids makes a million puts he rolls the rock kids not going to blow your dick off with like the way he hits him off the tee but like where brazen Bubba does Bubba's like holy shit right so I would say like when I play with parzi ali versus kids even like yeah obviously kisner's way tighter right and whatnot but they I mean if you
Starting point is 00:21:06 went out on any random Saturday with those two guys you might not be able to tell much of a difference. They both just pure the golf ball. Right, right, right. Now, obviously, over 72 holes, like Kisner's going to have much more consistency, and he's just a professional at the highest level. So he's going to, you know, you might add it up and be like, well, I can't believe Kiz beat Parsiali by 12 shots, but he did.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Whereas Bubba up close and in person, I mean, it's stunning. He plays a stunning game. He plays lightning fast. I mean, he's stunning. Yeah, he was a lightning fast. You look at it. Oh, my God. Like, he fucking was on the team.
Starting point is 00:21:38 We're putting out, basically. and then you could hear his cart, and then he's just on the TV. I mean, he's stunning to watch on TV. I can't imagine what that's, like, just right there. Dude, his game on TV is insane. And he had three, I think, three different parts, two part threes and one, like,
Starting point is 00:21:52 mid or short iron approach on a par four, where he landed the golf ball within six inches of the hole. Like his divot, or his ballmark, was within six inches of the hole. And he just walked up and just tapped it. It was crazy. One time in the part three, I don't want to give away the video.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But the second he made contact with the ball, he goes, oh, good, I don't want to put. And it almost flew into the hole on a part through. It was crazy. It was crazy. And again, like those moments on TV would have come off incredibly dushy, maybe. But he just in the middle of the round, like, it was funny. He was, we were just chit-chatting about like, oh, you think it's this club or that club, Teddy? He's like, I guess we're going to give this one a whirl.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And then as soon as he hits it, he makes that comment, like, oh, I don't even want to put. Like, it was very conversational and funny. But I remember thinking, like, had that been careful. captured on TV, I would have been like, what a doucheback. And I wonder, maybe in the back of my head I've always kind of thought that, but then it is kind of just fun to hate somebody sometimes. You got to have villains. You know what I mean? A lot of people
Starting point is 00:22:49 are tweeting us like, what are we going to, we need to build a new... We're knocking out our villains. We've done three of them. Like, Polter would be the only one who we haven't knocked out yet. Good news. I think we got a new one who's back and his name's Sergio Garcia. Oh, yeah. I think he is just catapulted himself into the villain game. Stunning
Starting point is 00:23:07 stuff from Sergio Garcia that I'm seeing. I got to be I I I rescind all of my positive stuff I said about Sergio Garcia Oh my God when he won as a Masters and we were there we're at the house We were watching and you were rooting for him I was rooting against him and I wanted to just slap you I fucking rooted for him because like I was there I got caught up in the moment That's right I kind of I waved I waved my hat like I was a 1940s like family No like you were at the Francis we met feels pretty good two years later to have feel you know you're coming back around I can't believe I got off the Sergio Garcia sucks train
Starting point is 00:23:39 He is the worst. Well, and also, I kind of, I didn't ever stop hating him, but you get to the point where it's like he's won, he got his major championship, maybe he's going to relax now, maybe he'll ride off in the sunset, he got married and all that. And then you come to find out,
Starting point is 00:23:54 he's just the big of an asshole as he always was. I don't comprehend. So for anybody who isn't caught up, it broke yesterday, Saturday. It broke Saturday that he got a, he got decued from this European tour event. They're playing in Saudi Arabia, which is a whole thing in and of its own massively
Starting point is 00:24:14 controversial, as you can imagine, as you should know from all the politics and the human human rights issues and all of that. He's playing in Saudi Arabia. It's like a brand new golf course. They've never hosted a golf tournament before ever. I mean, it's Saudi fucking Arabia. He also, I was looking at he had an, um, he was coming off of, I think, like five or something consecutive top tens. So he's been playing. in great golf. He obviously won the Masters just a couple of years ago. He got married, I think, shortly after that.
Starting point is 00:24:46 So, and on paper, Sergio Garcia's life's going great and coming into this tournament, things were going well. It breaks that he got DQed, kicked out of the tournament for purposely damaging a bunch of greens out of frustration. Five different greens. He was dragging his feet on the greens
Starting point is 00:25:01 with his spikes on to like shred the greens apart. What is going on with this guy? DQued from the tournament. Throwing a fucking temper tantrum like he's six-year-old. But that's not even a tantrum because five greens, I mean, you can't just play five greens in two seconds. Like, that's an hour. Is he like muttering to himself?
Starting point is 00:25:17 Like, I'm just going to, like, as he's just like scratching these greens up. So then this video comes out yesterday of him. This was like right before the green scraping incident. He's in a bunker. He hits his bunker shot and then immediately just loses his fucking mind. That starts swinging his club against the sand. Then he does like a big shovel scoop move. I thought he was done when he was
Starting point is 00:25:42 He was kind of flailing around And then yeah he kind of stopped for a second And then drew like a big line in the bunker And just walked out and set a bunch of swear words in Spanish He just three absolute vicious swings at the sand One one way the other way The other way back I mean it's it's one of the crazy It's an unbelievable outbursts
Starting point is 00:25:59 The fact that he gets that wasn't that bad of a shot No it wasn't what was he like five feet away from the pan What do you want to do? What do you want to do? Do we know a position he was in At this point of the tournament? Here's what I do know He had just come off birdie, birdie. Interesting. So he's like on a run and have that type of temperate.
Starting point is 00:26:16 What is he thinking at a moment like this? This guy's been around so long to know that this is going to come about bad for him. How do you let your emotions get the best of you in Saudi fucking Arabia? Like, of all places, they're just like, why do you give a fuck that much to, like, throw a temper tantrum like this? You know it's just going to make bad press for you. He's getting an appearance fee to be there. By the way, I feel like I want to be woke on that. How long do you have to play to be too qualified to get the appearance fee?
Starting point is 00:26:41 Like, was he just like, I'm going to get kicked out now. I played my two first rounds, and I'm good to go. I'm out of here. You think that's where it could have been? I think maybe. Even then, he's still a giant cock sucker because he's dragging his cleats across the green. That's the worst. That doesn't make that guy.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I'm watching her right now. People just keep posting it. Our friends at Supreme Golf just posted it. I mean, that shot he's maybe got, he's probably got less than seven, eight feet there for par. He's going to clean it up real nice. What a psychopath. It was like 10 years ago. He spit into a.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Spitting to a cup. Spint to a cup. So he's got this in him. He had the, when he lost to Patrick Harrington, who we've had on this show, at Carnusty in the Open Championship, he had the whole thing afterwards
Starting point is 00:27:17 where he was bitching, like, other guys' balls hit the flag and they get great bounces. Mine hits the flag, and goes in the bunker. I'm just like so unlucky, blah, blah. It's just,
Starting point is 00:27:28 it's so nice to be back where I belong, which is that Sergio Garcia is a whiny, European little bitch. He's been, the enemy from day one he was massively unlikable for a reason and now all of a sudden in Saudi fucking Arabia of all places
Starting point is 00:27:44 in like you know how a Bubba called it a hit and giggle this is just like a hit and collect you just like show up and just collect a bunch of money who cares if the golf course sucks like that couldn't matter at all you're in Saudi Arabia dude playing golf Saudi Arabia freaking out over the sand conditions
Starting point is 00:28:01 maybe this is how he's getting people to stop paying attention that he was actually playing in Saudi Arabia like we'll just try to Try and switch the narrative to me dragging my feet all over the greens. I'm sitting in a pink chair right now. You are, yeah. That's true. Yeah, Frankie is in a pink chair, like an aggressively pink chair.
Starting point is 00:28:15 It's the pinkest chair I've ever sat in. What happened to our nice chairs that we had in here? I don't know. We're in, have we even said that we're in the basement? We're in the downstairs studio. We are in the downstairs studio. And we, again, we've been down here before and they had these nice individual chairs. And then we came down here and there's a flamboyantly pink chair.
Starting point is 00:28:32 We've had a very weird relationship with this room. Sometimes we come down here and we're like amped up. We're like, we love the vibes in here. We love the chairs. They used to have these chairs with like little laptop holders on them. And it was like, this was a nice scene. It was better than the room upstairs. And now I hate this room today.
Starting point is 00:28:47 You're sitting underneath a shelf. Like that shelf could just fall down and just hit you on the head. You're sitting underneath a shelf. I also feel like it's really hot in here. Well, this chair. So we have these girls to call our daddy girls and they're a force. Look at that. My hands are sweating.
Starting point is 00:29:00 They're pruning. I'm sweating my d'clock. Your hands, you're sweating so much that your hands are pruning. Dude, it's hot in here. that can't be healthy though Trent I mean I'm not saying I'm a picture of health that means that you have to How tired are you gripping the microphone
Starting point is 00:29:13 You're fucking hands prune from wetness I'm no doctor but I assume it'd have to be like submerged in water for a long as time Like I'm just trying to get My hands don't prune in the pool For 20, 25 minutes You guys never take such a long shower your hands start to prune Yeah but that's like after 20 minutes
Starting point is 00:29:33 It's a long time Water just being absolutely hosed on your hands. And that's, Trent's just like sitting here in the dry, in the dryness. Now that I've, it's exposed, I'm sweating even more. I'm sweating even more. Sitting down doing a bogus and your hands are purported. It was my choice to let that information out.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And now I'm sweating even more. Anyway, we have the cold hands are pruning or just the one that you're holding it with. It's just the mic. Yeah. I think you need to loosen your grip a little bit. This chair was built for the caller daddy girls. And that's exactly why it's here. I should not be sitting in it.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I'm not doing gluck-luck-luck-9,000. Is that what it is, a 9,000? 9,000. Are there other versions? I don't know. Honestly, they scare the shit out of me. They're wildly intimidating. I found out that, like, Alexandra Cooper is younger than I am by like a year.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And that one fucking blew my mind. They are so, they are. Blue your mind, huh? We're all thinking it. There was a, there was a real, you hesitated there. It's a little bit of sex stuff. Anyway, you know, they're intimidating. They're intimidating girls, right?
Starting point is 00:30:35 The way they talk about, like, sexual things. Like, you don't, like, go up to them and talk to them. They're just, like, so intimidating. They'll, like, fucking kill you. And, like, when I found out that they were just, like, younger than, like, Alexander was younger than me. I'm like, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:47 You just always expect, you always expect someone that's, like, more intimidating than you to be older than you. I think I'm still at that age where, like, I don't want to believe that athletes are younger than me and shit like that. You know what I mean? I couldn't agree more. I watch professional sports that people who are very much younger than I am, and I always think they're older than me.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I don't think that'll ever go on. Johnny Guadro was born on the same day as me. Johnny hockey. You guys fucking one of the best players in the NHL. We were born on August 13th, 1993. I am exact, same exact day. And I think of him as being 10 years older than. I am a week older than Blake Griffin.
Starting point is 00:31:15 That doesn't make any sense. Wow. It doesn't make any sense. I know. That's amazing. It's crazy. I'll be honest. That's a stunning fact trip.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I can't believe it. I still can't believe it. I've known about it for a long time. You're older than Blake Griffin. You can, like, tell him what to do. But then he comes in and he's, he's a old man. jumps over fucking Keyes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I sweat when I hold a microphone. You know, I had a birthday since the last time we did a show. Holy shit, yeah. And I said, happy birthday to you. Thank you. And you were in a bed. I said, happy birthday to Riggs in bed. I didn't say happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:31:46 I only do, uh, that's nice. Well, it was in a barracks. It was, uh, there were three birthdays that day, right? Yep. You, Big Cat and Chuck for our Instagram guy. Yep. And Chuck was the only one is here. So I only gave him one.
Starting point is 00:31:56 All right. I turned 32, which is the same age Alexander the Great was when he died. Wow. All right. so one more year and then you beat him. Yeah. And he conquered like the whole known world. That's huge.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And I'm talking about golf. No, but you know what? He conquered the whole world. Then he just like died before you did. Yeah, I should. If everything continues to go well, have a way longer run than he had.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Correct. Which would be great. Headspace is your guide to health and happiness. In fact, just 10 days of headspace has been proven to reduce stress and increase happiness. Frankie and I have been discussing how stressful and ecactic the last two weeks have been.

Starting point is 00:34:01 waste management phoenix open i was there for a couple days uh which is nice as a video coming out from that experience which you will have to check out we will obviously be sharing that and whatnot awesome experience tons of stewies stewies just galore that's your second time there second time there trend daddy and i went solo last year you know how would you compare the second experience of the first is this a is this a once in a lifetime trip or is this now that you've seen it twice is this a like every time you have the chance to go out to the waste management you go i have to say saturday at the Race Management Phoenix Open is just one of the most fun and interesting sporting experiences you can ever have.
Starting point is 00:34:37 No matter how many times you go. No matter how many times you go. Wow. It's awesome. It's just fun. That place is like a fantasy land bubble. Like the weather's just always perfect. It doesn't make sense that it's like that, but it is.
Starting point is 00:34:51 You'll never experience an outdoor event where the female population gets more geared up for it. We're talking heels. Oh, man. Like dressed to the nines. walking out just in packs of thousands everywhere. It's like the Belmont Steaks. It's crazy town, except it's a bigger shit show than that. And it's just fun.
Starting point is 00:35:11 People are drinking. It's a young, like Scottsdale in general is just kind of a young, like happening, feeling type vibe throughout the whole place. So then like I said, you factor in that it's the biggest event of the year there and then everyone's just there to have fun. And it's all revolving around golf, which we love golf. It's just a lovely, lovely experience. You can people watch there and see some shit. You can jump into the crowd and get into the mix. It's just awesome.
Starting point is 00:35:37 It's an unbelievably cool experience. I'm always down for anything where people are going to do something outside of the norm, like drink really early, but everyone's doing it together. That's why I love tailgating so much when I used to tailgate for Iowa football games. Everybody's there for the same cause and it's just to drink and watch sports, but the waste management is unlike anything that there is out there. It's unbelievable. I mean, people, people, they build a whole trip around it, and then they prepare the night before they get to bed. at a certain hour so they can get up and get in line and then they just go ham all day you see a lot of people that couldn't handle it i mean we saw people getting their stomachs pumped at 10 a m couple
Starting point is 00:36:11 girls getting ambulance off so it was a scene that's a scene absolute scene it was a great time phenomenal finish with rickie foulor yesterday so the uh this kind of a stormy i guess like a rainy windy environment came in i was out there fouling kids for a handful holes in it and it was playing brutal, absolutely brutal out there yesterday. Ricky came in with, I think, a four-stroke lead into the final round. He doubles, like, the fifth hole, I think it was, and then made a couple other pars. He buries the 10th, so you're thinking, okay, he's in good shape. And then I think it was the 11th hole where he hits.
Starting point is 00:36:50 And for anybody who doesn't remember, Ricky's got a serious history here. I mean, last year, he blew a lead a couple years before that when he went into. maybe it was the year before that where he went into like a handful of extra playoff holes with Hedekimaziana. Yeah, that was 2016. So he should have won this tournament a bunch of different times. He's kind of got some demons and all that from this thing.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Then he chips it into the water on 11? All the way over. Oh, it just skids past the hole, catches a hill, just skirts around the bunker. If that thing just goes into the bunker. It is a, it's a marvel that it didn't go in the bunker. Just stunning. Like, that thing had eyes and ears
Starting point is 00:37:29 and just refused to go in that bunker if it would have. You know, Ricky's obviously an incredibly talented player, especially around the Greens. Decent chance he just gets up and down for bogey, and it's not a problem. Instead, it goes on the water. Then he takes a drop. Then while he's up there measuring the shot and looking at the green and all that,
Starting point is 00:37:44 his ball that he just dropped rolls back into the water. They penalize him for that, which is crazy town. Absolutely chaos. So once again, golf gets a rules. Controversy, people are freaking out. How the fuck can that be the rule that he drops it? Everybody says, okay, this is your official drop. You're flying now, and then he walks up, and then where they said, because the grass is cut so tight,
Starting point is 00:38:03 because it's on such a severe slope, his ball rolls under the water. He gets penalized for it, but he did. That's the new rule that no matter where your ball goes after you drop it now. It's not a new rule. That's just the rule. So, like, what's the difference between that and then when, like, you'll see a guy on the side of a, like, a major slope, like, by a cart path, and he'll drop it, and then they'll let him, like, pick it up and redrop it. No, that's what they did, but then they settled.
Starting point is 00:38:23 It's settled for long enough. Correct. They determine that his ball is in blood. That's the difference. So, like, that's where the. rule changes right there is that like if it's his ball was determined in play the rules official says your ball is now in play and then once that happens if your ball goes in which it did which he was up there looking at the green just trickle right back i just don't see the difference between
Starting point is 00:38:42 like just like if it moves after you had dropped it just like do it again it doesn't mean it i can't possibly comprehend how you can like place like a time limit on when a ball sits there if it's just in a wrong spot just let him fucking do it he hasn't taken a stroke i think everybody agrees with you frankly i'm angry so then he's angry so then he's chips it up and cans like a 15 footer. Heroic. Heroic. I mean, 15 feet, 20 feet?
Starting point is 00:39:08 So now at this point, at this point, Rick's a stroke back because Brennan Grace is going crazy. Rick's a stroke back. He comes to the 15th hole par five, which got kind of a mini island green. You could call it because it's got a couple bunkers next to it. But there's water everywhere. He goes for it from 252, hits one on in the middle, left part of the green, two puts for Bertie, has a nice up and down on 16, then drives one onto the green on the par 417,
Starting point is 00:39:33 which we saw people hitting all kinds of shots. We saw one guy, I can't remember who it was, putted into the water on 17. I believe 17 was two years ago where Ricky drove it through the green and it went into the water. I think that might have,
Starting point is 00:39:43 yeah, that was one of the times where he was in contention where he had a phenomenal drive and it hit the down slope. It looked like it was going to be tight and then just rolled and trickled into the water. Yep. He drives it into the front middle part of the green,
Starting point is 00:39:53 two putts from there for another birdie. Then he has an awesome up and down after hitting into those weird church pew type bunkers that they have on 18 and gets the win. I think he ended up winning by two strokes. So very cool to see you from Ricky Fowler. He takes more ricochet shots than anybody else in golf. Man, there would have been so many more ricochet shots if he had, if he had choked that all the way away. Or would you call them Ricky Shea shots.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Nice. My man. Just fist bump, Frank. Put my sweaty hand. That deserves one. That's good stuff. You've pumped for that one. I mean, it just hit me like a ton of bricks right there.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I didn't think of that one. You're just exhausted and it just came right to you. I heard ricochet shot and I just thought Ricky Shea shot. Ricky Shea shot. Unreal. That was good. Yeah, that's a great one. I'm happy for real.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I'm a little too tired to like be humble. Like I'm like, that was a really good one. It was fine. A Ricky Shea shot. Are you kidding me? It was fine. He says I'm a little too tired to be humble. It was solid.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Like I didn't think it wasn't. I thought it was quite good. I didn't think it was life changing. I'm basking in how good that was. I literally just looked up in this guy. I was like, Ricky Shea shot. From the heavens. Wow.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Takes a lot of Ricky Shea shots, okay, for the fact that he's only won four times in the PGA tour, yet he's pretty much the most marketable guy on the PGA tour outside of maybe Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson. And even he might be beyond Phil at this point. I mean, his off course branding is off the charts. Yeah. Had to win, though.
Starting point is 00:41:21 What's that? He has to, like, he has to throw in these Ws. He has to keep racking up these Ws. Well, that's why he gets all. the Ricky shoot shots because people don't think that those two things are equal, the amount that he's actually won versus. So it's huge for him. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:32 So this is big. Him racking up wins. People were still chirping. I saw a great tweet that I had to retweet that was the guy tweeted me earlier in the weekend being like, amazing fact, Tom Brady has more Super Bowl wins than Ricky Fowler has PGA tour wins. And then Ricky won, and they were at the same. And then Tom Brady won another Super Bowl. And then Ricky still has more than Ricky Fowler has wins.
Starting point is 00:41:53 But Ricky's at his fifth PGA tour win. which is great. Johnny Miller retired from the booth on Saturday. Did his last round on Saturday. See a lot of people chirping, like, what a weird thing to do it on Saturday. He didn't want to take away from the ending of the event on Sunday, which I think is a very classy move. I need to read something to you guys about Johnny Miller.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Go ahead. It came out on Saturday or Sunday. So he's retiring. Everybody's telling all these stories. People are, they're tear-jerkers. Everyone's emotional. They ask Dan Hicks what he will most remember Johnny Miller by, and he says this. and I quote, if I had to single out one thing that I think typifies Johnny is, and it's going to sound crazy, but it's cheese whiz.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Easy cheese whiz. There's a brand. So Johnny would get in. I would look over there and he would have the nozzle of the cheese was thing implanted, basically mainlining cheese whiz. You're actually sticking that thing in your mouth. The rest of us should probably be using this. So our illustrious stage manager, Kathy, would actually put a piece of tape on the cheese with bottle and say that it's Johnny Mills. He has been doing this his entire career.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Oh my God. During broadcast, he sucks down bottles of cheese whiz through the nozzle. And there, look at this. You guys, there's video of it. And this is him just sucking. Are you kidding me? What's wrong with this guy? The fact that that didn't come out until now is.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And that's psychotic lunatic behavior. That's what I said. No. It's awesome. That's like kind of like that. I don't like that. It's like funny, but I don't like it. I mean, the guy that he likes what he likes.
Starting point is 00:43:24 he doesn't give a shit and he's just pounding cheese something wrong with him it's weird sure but everybody's a little weird The guy's pounding cheese dude he's sucking that thing down Like it's a cup of coffee He's sucking it down It's a bottle in between takes he's just Sucking on a bottle of cheese with
Starting point is 00:43:38 That's so weird It's weird but I don't hate people for doing weird shit I don't like hate it I just think it's like bizarre I think it's a fucking weirdo psychotic movie He needs to like get checked out for that I think he has a weird addiction to cheese with The way he's holding it right here is unbelievable
Starting point is 00:43:52 Dan Hicks said, if I had a nickel for every cheese whiz can, Johnny has gone through over our 20 years in the booth, I'd be a rich man. What the fuck? A psychotic behavior. That needs to be evaluated. The most surprising thing to me is that it just came out now. He's been in the booth 30 years, and not once have we heard the cheese with story before. They need to look into that. Do you think he's been very protective of the cheese whiz facts?
Starting point is 00:44:14 Does he do it like mid-conversations? Like, would you be talking to Johnny Miller and he's just like squirting it in his mouth as you're speaking to him? Just imagine you, they'll come back from commercial. there's Johnny Miller and Dan Hicks, and not 15 seconds before that. He's just sucking on a bottle of cheese. And it makes the noise. It makes like the squirting out noise.
Starting point is 00:44:30 And you just hear him. Just like, you're just staring straight and you know what he's doing next to you. I mean, I don't understand how you don't put it on some crackers or something. Just straight to your dome? You just hear that, like,
Starting point is 00:44:41 you just hear the noise to the left of you. Like everyone that's like with him in the booth was just like, yep, I know what that noise is. It's like he's got an oxygen tank plugged into his mouth, but instead of oxygen, he's pumping cheese whizze.
Starting point is 00:44:52 into his face. I was so surprised by that information that I thought he tried a joke I was making it up. You think you tried cheese once? I was like, I fucking love this shit. I can't go a single broadcast.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I'm going to have this all the time. He ate it so much and so consistently that a stage manager had to put a piece of tape on it that said, this is Johnny Miller's cheese. Don't touch it. In the video, you clearly see it's a bright, vibrant orange. Look how dead serious he is.
Starting point is 00:45:17 He is so serious about his cheese with. Can I watch a video of him actually putting it in his mouth? I mean, does he shake it? They're asking him a question, and he's shaking the cheese with, and he's just shooting it inside his mouth. He can't go on his regular day without just constantly consuming cheese with. The guy likes cheese with. I dislike Johnny Miller more than anybody.
Starting point is 00:45:38 This new information didn't make me like or dislike him anymore. I'm just fascinated by it. It's unbelievably he disliked Johnny Miller. Can't get over that. I think he's funny. I think he's bizarre. Of course he's bizarre. Why?
Starting point is 00:45:50 Who cares if he's bizarre? It makes me feel comfortable I don't like that he has like he won That's a bad argument Like if someone's bizarre It's like that's like one of the things I like Don't like about it's off pudding He's like a weirdo
Starting point is 00:46:02 You don't think dude He's fucking downing cheese with His arrogance doesn't bother you Not at all I think it's hilarious I think he's like Schueter McGavin Yeah everybody's the most hated person in that movie But he's also what Shooter McGavin's also a legend
Starting point is 00:46:14 He's like the most legendary character Not in the movie In that reality In that universe Everybody hates Shooter McGavin But he's but the guy Johnny Miller is an entertainer. He's like, that's what he does. That's who he is.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Johnny Miller doesn't like put on a facade of like being the show. But I don't care. Like I'm getting the entertainment value. Like him chirping guys and always talking about them choking. I think what's trying to say in reality, he is the shooter McGavin guy because in reality in the movie, shooting McGavin was hated. But to an entertainer, just like how us watching.
Starting point is 00:46:46 But there are stories of Johnny Miller goes up to guys and like that he's a massive dickhead to people. he just the way he commentates. Then he's a coward. If he's not going to do it in person, then he's a coward. Well, how? They don't have to in real life. Hey, man, can you please right now in real time, like, give an updated opinion on my golf? I get the opinion.
Starting point is 00:47:04 He just talks to people. I get the feeling he wouldn't if he was pushed. I think he would be a coward. I think he would turtle. That's not based off of it. I don't have an official stance on Johnny Miller. Never have. I love John.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I think he's the best. I think he's funny. He's blunt. I think he was the first guy that ever came in. was willing to talk about the fact that pressure plays a gigantic role in golf when everyone else in cookie cutter golf was like oh everybody's great everybody's the best everybody's got all this talent everybody loves each other and he was the first guy to come in and be like all this stuff's happening because this guy is choking under pressure pressure changes everything blah blah blah and that's why i love johnny and he's brought that for 30 years it is very ironic that the day before the day after he retires rickie fowler melts down like a motherfucker and johnny's not there to be like this is nerves like well i mean melted down like a mother but he's very ironic but he's very ironic he also won. True. But during that stretch,
Starting point is 00:47:54 Johnny would have been throwing some nerves right. Oh, he would have had some great comments. Yeah. There's no doubt about it. I'm going to miss Johnny Miller. I will say that.
Starting point is 00:48:00 I think that's, he is different. We'll see what Paul Ezinger. He'll be, he'll be good. Yeah, Zinger's got a little fire to him as well. Yeah, which is good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:08 The right hire can make a huge impact on your business. That's why it's so important to find the right person. But where do you find that individual? You can post a job on a job board and hope the right person will find your job. But think about it. How often do you hang out on job boards? Almost never. I would say never. I never have.
Starting point is 00:48:24 I never have, not once. However, I have hung out on LinkedIn before. In fact, I used to work recruiting, and we used to recruit on LinkedIn all of that. It's just way better. Don't leave. LinkedIn's amazing. What? LinkedIn's incredible.
Starting point is 00:48:37 It's an unbelievable thing. I search people that I don't know. I want to know what they're doing. Like I did it this week where we had guests and I was talking to bookers and stuff. I was like, how legit is this person? Typing their name. First thing, it popped up was LinkedIn. Don't leave finding someone great to chance when you can post your job to a place.
Starting point is 00:48:51 where people go every day to make connections grow in their career and discover job opportunities. Most LinkedIn members haven't recently visited the top job boards, duh, but nine out of ten members are open to new opportunities. People who are qualified for your role and ready for something new, that's what you're looking for. It's the best way to find the person who will help you grow your business. Hurry to LinkedIn.com slash four and get 50 bucks off your first job post. Sounds pretty nice. That's LinkedIn.com slash four to get 50 bucks off your first job post. LinkedIn.com slash four terms and conditions apply.
Starting point is 00:49:24 We also haven't really talked about Tiger. Tiger's debut of the year at Tori Pines about a week and a half ago. Finished T20, I think, is where he actually finished. Pretty just bland. He didn't really have much going on. Didn't play well. Didn't really do anything that well and still finished top 20, I think. I do think it was T20.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He did a great Sunday. He had a solid finish. to us nine holes Sunday, but again, it was just a little week. Where the day starts and you're kind of like, all right, you can maybe piece something together here. It'll be maybe finishing double digit. Yeah, that was his goal, right? He said it.
Starting point is 00:50:00 He said that was his goal to get them 10 under, and that was what he did. Yeah. So, again, I don't know if we have a ton to say about that. We just hadn't talked about. He'll play next at Riviera in a couple weeks, which he's never won there or really done particularly well there as a pro. He missed the cut there last year. So hopefully he does better.
Starting point is 00:50:17 That golf course is awesome. So I always get excited to watch that. Bubbo won there last year. Maybe we'll get a little rigsy four play ball for Bubba going on here. That would be nice. To that event, which would be great. Tiger played with Trump and Jack Nicholas yesterday. Trump with an all-time tweet yesterday.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Everybody is asking how Tiger played yesterday. The answer is great. He was long, straight, and putted fantastically well. He shot a 64. Tiger is back and will be winning majors again. Not surprisingly, Jack also played really well. His putting is amazing. Jack and Tiger like each other.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Why that last part? Why? Jack and Tiger like each other. Why? The last line reads like a nine-year-old is writing like a little synopsis of something. I'm like a book reporter. Jack and Tiger like each other. Very complimentary.
Starting point is 00:51:13 I mean, people always like, why do they play golf with this guy, blah, blah, blah. We've gone over that when he played when Rory played with Trump. But first of all, it's better to be friends with the most. powerful man in the world, then have him hate you. And second, he's just going to compliment the shit out of your golf game. It's great for your image, like, in terms of your golf image. Well, the way he's talking about how Tiger's putting well, Tiger made a comment that, like, once he starts,
Starting point is 00:51:35 he feels like he's putting well, but they're just missing. And once they start to fall in, they're going to fall in in bunches. I think he had that quote during the tournament. And that got me, like, juiced up because it's like once he gets that feel, I think he could probably feel it, like, in his brain right now. Like, I'm just off. Yeah, but doesn't part of you worry that? Trump knows that.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Trump knows that like what Tiger's going to really like is if Trump pumps up his putting. He said he was long straight and putted fantastically well. Which is like what we're all waiting to hear. Right. That's what we're feeding us what we want. If we got positive reinforcements from Trump or from anybody's what's going to push Tiger over the edge, I'm all for it. Tiger said that when I get when I start to, when I start to sink them, they're going to sink in bunches. Like I pictured literally like the sound of a ball going to go.
Starting point is 00:52:23 golf all just like a million times. And I can just picture him just nailing every single put he takes for the next like four and a half years. Like a quick cut up of tiger putches going in everywhere. Yes. I like that. Like that's what bunches to me from Tiger Woods sounds like. That would be great.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Big takeaway for me from the Trump Tiger Jack picture is, I forget how big Trump is in terms of how tall he's. He's a big guy. He's a unit. What about Jack wearing shorts? I mean, Jack looked like your, like, your dad's okay friend who comes as like the random fourth and that was his outfit. Tiger looked like he was dressed for a major.
Starting point is 00:52:58 He always does. You're never going to catch Tiger on the golf course not looking like a million bucks. Well, this is one of those scenarios where people definitely told him what to wear. Correct. It wasn't one of those. He gets to do this one thing. He dresses like a homeless person trying to get across the country. Oh, it's just golf, right?
Starting point is 00:53:11 He knows how to dress a golf. That's just what he does. But outside of golf, he's disoriented. God knows what he wore to the course. Correct. Like him in the car? He probably wears like sandals with socks on him to the White House. It's like Tiger.
Starting point is 00:53:24 It's just not what you do. Put some grass under this guy so he can dress correctly. Like once he steps on concrete, the guy fucking has no idea what he's doing. Like if you run into Tiger at the woods, Jupiter, his restaurant in there, he's wearing those hygiene. He could be wearing anything. I'm telling you, I think it's like the way he, like, if you just throw grass under him, I feel like his whole like, it's like Iron Man. Like his fucking suit comes out, like out of like his chest and he's just like wearing his red. Put grass under Tiger.
Starting point is 00:53:50 That's how you get him to dress. God, appropriately. I think that's about right. All right. Next up, we got Danielle Kang. Reminder that we are going to two podcasts a week starting this week. So Thursday, you're going to have another show. And then next week and every week, probably all the way through August.

Starting point is 00:54:22 I don't understand how the aisles work There's just too much stuff There's too much stuff They have all these numbers And like half the time The things that they say are in the aisle Are like so vague Just like supplies
Starting point is 00:54:33 Like a little kind of supplies Everything I see Everything is what I don't need Everything is a supply If you think about Right why would I have everything I need Yeah

Starting point is 00:56:06 Hello. Danielle. Hi. Hi. What's going on? Oh, not much. What's up with you? We're just hanging.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You know, it's me and Trent. Hey, Danielle. Hi, Trent. How are you? Good. You guys miss me? It's been a long time. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I said it's been a really long time I know I feel like we haven't had Joe You get on top of the shit right now so you can't So We I mean we're probably not even going to do an intro
Starting point is 00:56:40 We'll probably just start We're probably just start doing the show If that's okay with you Okay My first question is What are you up to today You sound like you just took a nap I'm still taking a nap
Starting point is 00:56:51 Well if that's better So the first time we talked to you, you were still up, I think, from the night before after you won your major championship. Yeah. No, I'm still taking an out. What do we have to do to wake you up? I'm up. What if we just start screaming into your ear? You just hang up?
Starting point is 00:57:14 I feel like you already did hang up. Try it. I'm Jerry. Now we'd blow our own ears out if we try to have. Yeah, that's true. We have headphones on, so it would just hurt us more than you. To wake me up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:25 You have heads of it on. Yeah, we're all heads. I think I just put you guys on speaker and put it in the other room. That'd be fucked up. That'd be a really fucked up way to do an interview. I'm sorry. You talked about it later. So my first question, my first official question, is do you still sit alone shotgun in Uber's like a crazy person?
Starting point is 00:57:48 100%. 1,000%. Two Uber's have asked me for a hug. For hugs? What's your Uber rating? A hug. Are we still going to come out of this? We just had to know if you're still doing it.
Starting point is 00:58:00 I'm trying to get a little update on you here. It's been a year. Yeah, of course. I forgot that we just, I did some crazy shit. 4.89. That's really high. Did you just know that off the top of your head? Did you look it up?
Starting point is 00:58:17 Yeah, it's because I'm awesome. All right, fair enough. I mean, that is a crazy move. We talked about the last time you were in studio, which I think was like a year and a half ago. It's not crazy. You did a poll. and people still did it.
Starting point is 00:58:30 So it's not an insane thing to do. It was way more people than I thought. I think if you actually lived in, you know, a large city like New York, you would realize that the Uber passenger relationship is not a situation where you give hugs to people. I do it in New York. I did it when I was going to your office. That's just fucking really weird, Daniel. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Let's talk golf. You are a professional golfer. We are a golf podcast. So I think it's a good idea that we should talk about golf. You have won since the last time that we had you on. You went through a bunch of stuff. How much did your latest win in Shanghai mean to you? Well, latest win in Shanghai was pretty awesome.
Starting point is 00:59:15 I was working on, well, I have the years for over a year, and obviously missing, I don't know, seven cuts in a row wasn't very fun. But I knew that starting in Asia, I wasn't going to miss a cut because there are no cuts, So that was exciting. That's huge. That's huge, yeah. As I told my caddy after Evian cut, I think those are seventh miscut or something.
Starting point is 00:59:38 And I said, do stick with me, man. I promise you, we won't miss a cut for the rest of the year. But, yeah, I started working with Futch, and I don't know, everything started to get settled in. And games started to come more together. Myers started to calm down and finish 30. in Hanna Bank and won the sharing night. But I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:01 I just, I won, and then I just wanted another one. Last time I was super happy on Cloud and I, but this one I just, it kind of lit another fire where I just wanted to win the next one as well. So it was interesting. So talk about this swing yips situation, not that we want to get into anything dark. However, I think most people, I mean, you are a phenomenal player.
Starting point is 01:00:26 You had a phenomenal amateur career. You won a major championship less than two years ago, and then all of a sudden you have the swing yips. What, what's the deal with that? What happened? Wait, really quickly, Reagan, Tret. When you guys are talking to me, randomly asking me if I was taking a map, and maybe you just jump right into the podcast?
Starting point is 01:00:42 Oh, yeah. Are you doing the interview right now after calling me, quote, unquote, fucking crazy for driving in the front and then you just jump around to the podcast? Oh, yeah, that's correct. That whole thing was the podcast. You didn't even tell me that we're doing the podcast. You're asking me. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 01:00:56 If you go back, you will see that I said, hey, by the way, we're not really going to do an intro. We're just doing the podcast. And that's what you're going to tell me we're doing the podcast. Look, this is what you sign up for. Everybody loves the fact that they get to hear you take a nap. That's just electric. You're a beauty.
Starting point is 01:01:16 We got past all the pleasantries, the first two interviews. Now we're just friends and we just call. You should have heard what Kisner said to us the other day in the first couple minutes before. We were like, oh, yeah, by the way, we're just doing the podcast. He's like, you motherfuckers. Yeah, and, yeah, we're just friends, you know, just posting up a trophy about my Shanghai win with hashtag, no, what was your caption? Congratulations to our girl with the 2018 Dick trophy.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Yeah, thanks, guys. I mean, in defense, are you going to deny that that trophy looked like a dick? No, I'm not going to deny at all. I will not comment or confirm. You guys are just unbelievable. You saw my comment, though. Look, Danielle, if you take a picture with a giant trophy, it looks like a giant dick right next to you, and we don't comment on it, then we're not doing our jobs. It looks like a penis.
Starting point is 01:02:07 I was looking at it, and I said, of course it's going to happen to me. If anyone's going to have a penis trophy, it's probably going to be me. It was incredibly fitting. It was, you know, we call you the people's women's golf room. You know, it looks good. It's okay. It looks great. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:02:26 It's a beautiful trophy. It just looks like a giant beautiful penis trophy. Yeah, you want to hear the funny part? I have a miniature one. They sent me a mini one. No, they didn't. Yeah, and then there's a picture of us doing some weird things to it, but I can't post this. Wow.
Starting point is 01:02:46 It's a mini thing, so in certain lighting it is. So then we don't... I just, you know, we quietly just have to... fun with ourselves, but I have the trophy at home. It's half the size. I thought that people would have enjoyed it. Well, this podcast is called...
Starting point is 01:03:03 Podcasts is called... Podcasts is called Foreplay. So, I mean, this is all kind of coming together. Yeah. Well, you guys will like it. I'll let you guys take pictures of it one day. I'll bring it over if you guys can see pictures of it. That would be awesome.
Starting point is 01:03:16 We would love that. But honestly, though, the trophy's really cool. It's a goddess flying through with a cake. But you have to... If you get the perfect lining, It's a perfect penis looking trophy. Phenus looking trophy. Look, it's a beautiful trophy.
Starting point is 01:03:30 It was a very cool win. It did. Let's try now. And, you know, love the sponsor. Nothing but love for all the sponsors and all that they do. It's great. Oh, yeah, of course. I still love my trophy.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Big time. But they did give you a, you know, a giant dick trophy. That's just a fact. You know, I will once again know a comment or confirm or deny. Yeah, no, you haven't made any comments yet. So, uh, no. The swing yips. What happened with the swing yips?
Starting point is 01:03:58 Let's talk off. What happened with the swing yips? I don't know. I think it all, I mean, people tell you about the years how it ruins people's careers, and I could actually kind of see what they come to that conclusion. It first starts with the mechanical issue, I believe, and then it starts creeping into your brain and mind and what you see and your feel and your hands. And one day you're sending you on the tea, and you're just a fear of something.
Starting point is 01:04:22 and while you still have that mechanical issue, you still can't fix it because you need to. But then even after you fix it, you still see all the shots that have happened. You see the, you feel it. I don't know. It's really hard to explain, and it's kind of a, it just sucks.
Starting point is 01:04:40 And I don't know how you really come out of it. I think one of the main things you have to do is fix the mechanical issue. And then from there you have to constantly fight your own fear, standing on a keybox, or whenever you get those fields in your hands, I think. I don't know, it's a battle. It's really hard to explain what people will do.
Starting point is 01:04:57 It's just an awful thing, and if anyone do stugs or do have it, it's the worst thing ever. But what I can tell you is that it'll always kind of be there. I think it's more of a mistake or a mishit, but you just kind of have to fight it. So talk about how you essentially got out of it, got back on track, got in with Butch Hart, Harmon and what that did for your career, your golf game? Well, so during Asia, I felt pretty good. I didn't know how I was going to do in Honobank. That was the first tournament in Korea.
Starting point is 01:05:34 And I still, there was one T-Block. I backed off, I think, six times. And I stood there and I started trying. I can't control what I'm doing. I want to hit the ball. But people are watching you, you can't pull the trigger. but I had my caddy really helped me out, and he just kept telling me,
Starting point is 01:05:54 until you're comfortable, don't hit it. And I kept telling myself, what's the worst that can happen, and which told me, no matter what, just trust the swing. And I would kind of just tell myself if it's a left to right hole
Starting point is 01:06:06 and it has it on the right, it's better to slice it in with the driver and have shorter iron in for the third shot than lay up with the four iron. I have a free with him. So I just kept talking to myself like that, And eventually there were times where I still just blocked it that ride or dog-cooked. However, I kept playing well.
Starting point is 01:06:28 And then he's working on with me with my wedges and my putting. And, I don't know, it's still not completely gone. I have some troubles at the time in resorts. But it's something that's not going to stand in the way of my career or what I want to do. So I'm just going to keep working at it. And we'll see where it goes. So I don't want to. I want a shang-i with it.
Starting point is 01:06:47 You did? And I don't want to. make this all about me, but I do have a recurring dream where, and I've had this for like five years now, where I'm playing in the, I'm playing in the Masters, and I'm on, I'm on the first T. It's finally my turn. I'm all jacked out first T at Augusta, and I literally just can't, I cannot pull the trigger and hit the ball. And every time I try to, something happens, like Augusta Wind will knock the ball off or like right in my back swing, like a telephone pole like falls over or something. And I Every time I have it, I've never been able to hit the first T-shot.
Starting point is 01:07:22 It fucking sucks. It's not funny. It sucks. It's hysterical. Do you wake up angry when you have this dream or do you wake up sad or what is it? Devastated and then I try to fall back asleep really quickly so I can go back and like hype myself up. Like you can do this, dude, just hit the fucking golf ball. You got to the Masters for a reason.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Oh, you do the continuing dream. I try. This is amazing. Yeah, and it happens all the time. You still fail. I mean, I've never heard. hit the ball. I've probably tried, I don't know, 400 times and I can't hit the ball. Yeah. Well, I mean, that doesn't happen to me. I just, I eventually hit it because I have to or
Starting point is 01:08:05 obviously cute, but I mean, why, why specifically Augusta? I don't know. Well, if I knew, I think all these things would work themselves out, but I don't. You think it has some sort of deeper meaning that if you unraveled it in your real life? Why don't you have to Gilmore? That's not a bad idea. So see, this is kind of what I'm looking at. for. We come up with the ideas. We plan them in my head the next time I'm in the middle of a dream. It's about you. Right. It's obviously. This is like inception. It's all about you. We got to, we got to figure this out. So, why don't you have happy Gilmore it in your dream next time? I hope I'm standing there and going to just hit the ball. Did you ever try happy Gilmore it when you were going through your stuff? No. Don't be, don't be ridiculous, man. Well, I mean, what was, what is what? What is the suggestion is that? What? Did you do anything that was seemed utterly ridiculous? You're just.
Starting point is 01:08:53 to try to get rid of what was going on? Yeah, but you made me hit the ball from starting in mid position. So I would set the club and then turn and hit, and I couldn't miss. What? No way. Yeah. And I actually did that in a tournament about four or five times. But then, like I said, when the feeling comes, it's just, it's a mental block where you just can't hold off.
Starting point is 01:09:16 So it still happens. But it happens less when I just went to the mid part of your swing and then from there you just turn and hit. I just said it So I don't start from the ball My club is halfway Up the back swing And then I start from there I was envisioning you
Starting point is 01:09:31 Like in Ten Cup When he turns everything backwards Like his hat And he takes shoes off And like all that stuff To try to get rid of shit Sorry you're gonna give me shit I've never watched it
Starting point is 01:09:38 Oh my God What? Yeah You gotta watch it Sorry Never think Caddy Shack either You're just a fucking weirdo Damn ya okay
Starting point is 01:09:49 I like the silence Yeah you just put us to stunned silence. I didn't know how to react. It's okay. We're going to be okay, guys. I was hoping you'd gone to like a psychic or something like that, some sort of healer to help you out.
Starting point is 01:10:04 But no? No, no, no. So I got it. I have a question about a quote that I found in my research, and I remember this from October when you did win. After, I guess, the front nine, you weren't happy with how you're playing in the final round. Caddy gives you permission to throw a temper tantrum because you had said cameras are
Starting point is 01:10:23 everywhere. I just went to hit the bag really hard. He said, here's a wedge, just smash it. Did that really happen? Yeah, 100%. There's actually way worse than I explained it. I was having a meltdown because, I mean, like I said, sometimes a bad attitude or the throwing on the golf course doesn't mean anyone's a bad person or bad people.
Starting point is 01:10:47 I mean, you've seen golf is getting mad. Oh, yeah. It just means that everyone's worked really hard to get to where they're at. And if you can't get out of your own way, you feel really angry. And you don't know what to do, and there's no one to get angry out but yourself. And at Hana think, I finished third, but I just couldn't get out of my own head, and I sabotaging myself. So I think at Shanghai, when I was right in contention, I was sabotaging myself again. And it's all in my mind.
Starting point is 01:11:14 I can't even blame my swing. I can't blame my putting. There's nothing in the golf aspect where I would look at it and go, oh, I needed to work on this. No, it's just everything's in my head. When that happens, you're so angry, and you can't, you don't know what to do because you don't know, you want to win, you want to play the best you can,
Starting point is 01:11:32 but you're the one that's making yourself go crazy. I told you, golfers are you're insane, man. So then, anyways, I was really just depressed and just pissy, and I just kind of made a quote saying, here we fucking go again, kind of deal. I can't be doing this
Starting point is 01:11:48 again two weeks in a row. And then my caddy, cameras were following me everywhere and like howdy just said all right he's we're going to hide so I he took me around the back of this building and then he set the bag down and he was handed me a wedge and said
Starting point is 01:12:03 do whatever you want I hit the bag just so that nobody sees me or reports on me or whatever get a fine in so I just smashed my bag I think full slings five times in a row there was a hole in the bag on the bottom there's a full on hole and he goes
Starting point is 01:12:19 are you done I said I feel so much better And he goes, you're fucking crazy, but I need you to get it together. And this is round five. You ready? And I said, yep. It's just, I'm trying to suppress it just so I don't show it. And I'm trying to be on the best behavior possible. And I don't know.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Because, you know, people have the perception that if you say, fuck, you're just the worst person on the planet sometimes. But, I mean, people say it. What are you going to do? I, God. I don't know what kind of stir that would cause. So I can't do, I can't even just throw a little hissy fit because people will judge you for it. But then, I don't know. I'm a very, I don't know, I need to kind of let it out.
Starting point is 01:13:02 So, like I didn't know how to deal with it. I mean, we just kind of went around and he just said, just hit it. What happened? I felt really good. Yeah, I say. I felt like myself and I wanted to play golf myself. I think we need to just say screw the beyond your best behavior stuff. We're just trying to win.
Starting point is 01:13:17 That's all we really care about. Exactly. And he says we're playing to win. and I need you to do whatever you need to do to get back to your normal mental say. He says, I need Danielle. Can you get Danielle back for me? That's what you said. Did you have to replace the bag after the tournament?
Starting point is 01:13:33 No, we like the bruises and the tattoos that's got. I can draw my bag when I'm bored. So, no, I mean, part of it. But I did change the back through this year because he was kind of getting old. What kind of stuff do you draw on your bag? He needed to retire. Like doodles? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:49 I'm drawing the last biggest. strip right now. If you look really closely, my Statue of Liberty flipping off you, whoever looked at it. Flipping you off? Yeah, I draw Statue of the skyline of Las Vegas, and then my Statue of Liberty
Starting point is 01:14:04 has a middle finger up. Nice. Okay. That's a cool little message. It's just like fuck the haters. Yeah. No, just fuck off. Don't look at the bag. Okay. So just to fuck you to anyone who's looking at your golf bag. And then and then I draw
Starting point is 01:14:22 I don't know I have a straw I'm decorating my guys right now and we'll see we'll see what it ends up I like it we'll get updates we'll get continuous updates
Starting point is 01:14:32 as we find out how pumped do you that it's a Solheim Cup year oh so pumped I'm excited people know I love that you guys love that it's the best
Starting point is 01:14:42 I can't wait to go to Europe yeah I don't know I mean two years ago was so amazing so incredible I just can't wait to be a part of that again. It's indescribable.
Starting point is 01:14:54 You're going to kick some European ass again? Yeah, of course. I mean, I don't know. We just did an interview recently. We had a Solheim Cup outing, and people were asking. I mean, I'm like, this might be bad to tell you guys. But I mean, you guys could look up interview. One of the interviewers asked,
Starting point is 01:15:10 how is it comparative to Raddick Cup and Solheim Cup? If players want to win, what do you think? And somebody answered, you know, We're very honored to play for our country And what was it? It's a friendly competition And everyone's there, you know, happy And we're just going to enjoy the ride
Starting point is 01:15:30 Or something like that And they asked me and I said, oh, no, no, we want to win No, no I'm not going over to Europe to have a good time We're going to go We're going to go do the best you can I've got 11 other teammates I mean, what more
Starting point is 01:15:45 What kind of possibility do more Like what kind of situation? you're going to win more. I don't know. I can't even talk right now. I think you're right. It's just an event where you want to come together and just win for your country, for your team, for your captain, and you play the best you can. I'm super excited. I don't like this attitude. I don't like this attitude that it's just like a friendly, good time. We're going to go over to Europe. Yeah, it's like technically it's an exhibition, but it's actually the exact opposite. It's a war. It's a fucking war. We're America trying to win.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Do you know how much more satisfying you'll be if you take the trophy home from their land on their soil? Yeah, exactly. It's like that. I was over there for the Ryder Cup. All these Euros were just singing and dancing in our faces. It was disgusting. I want to win. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:16:35 You want to win. I do. That was a good match. It wasn't great for us. But anyway, Solheim Cup year. Are you guys going to come to Solheim? I would love to come to Solheim. In fact, one of my biggest regrets is that we didn't go to the Solheim two years ago when it was in Iowa.
Starting point is 01:16:51 That was in my backyard. So hold up. Hold up. You would fly all the way to France for Radica, but you wouldn't fly over to Des Moines for a Solheim Cup. It was a regret. I just said it's one of my biggest regrets. And, to be honest, you- Are you fucking shitting me right now? One of our big things was trying to get certain access.
Starting point is 01:17:12 It's not about, no, I don't want to hear you. Excuse me. So I'm going to say, oh, my time, you would fly all the way to France for Riderke, but you won't come when we even have a domestic venue. And you're saying, what? Are you coming to Scotland or not? Kangor, I told you that that was a huge mistake. Now, if you want to let us be like your personal lackeys and we'll just, like, get all the access in the world, then that's the thing we should talk about. You guys need to get to Scotland, get your access to Scotland. Ooh, ooh, I kind of like these dates.
Starting point is 01:17:49 So I'm looking at the, it's September 13th to 50. You kind of like the dates. Just take your studio with you and do your podcast in Scotland. Wake your ass up in the middle of the night and do it if you have to do it in New York Times. I just nonsense excuse you have. I got to be honest. I have a waiting to go over that week? I really, I think there's a really good chance that I'm going to be at the Solheim Cup now this year.
Starting point is 01:18:12 Now there's a really good chance. Do you understand that there are complications that could come up? I'm telling you, I'm planning on being there, I'm looking at the dates, you're throwing this on my radar, you're calling me out for not being to the last one, which was, admittedly, a gigantic mistake. Huge. It looked like the best fucking time ever. You're out there fist pumping, you're out there rallying up the crowds.
Starting point is 01:18:34 That was a huge mistake. That looked like a lot more fun even than going to the Ryder Cup in Paris. So I want to be there in Scotland. Yeah, yeah. I'll believe you when I see you there. We just need, we need, I want to, we want to be like your hype men. Oh my gosh. One of my friends said if he had a billion dollars, what was the first thing you would,
Starting point is 01:18:52 it was the first thing you would buy? And he goes, I would buy a hype man. And I go, what is that? He goes, just hype me up everywhere I go. Yeah, rappers, like rappers have hype men. Why can't golfers and bloggers? Can we beat Danielle Kang's personal Solheim Cup hype men? you're welcome to me
Starting point is 01:19:13 that'd be fucking unreal I don't know you guys didn't come to Des Moines so Are you not a believer in second chances My expectations I'll see it when I I'll believe you when I see it All right
Starting point is 01:19:26 I'll give you attention if you want But you can talk to talk You gotta walk to walk I'll try and be there means I won't be there All right Look if I can be your personal height man I'll be there

Starting point is 01:20:15 convincing you guys didn't come to Des Moines so god a couple of you guys clueled all the way in that chaos pair i mean that was you know again i'm trying to explain to you i made a mistake you keep harbid on my mistakes yeah thought we're trying to move forward with our relationship we're moving we're moving forward okay okay it's okay everyone makes mistakes what's the speaking of mistakes what's the worst golf shot you ever hit uh i don't know but i just shanked when i got the resort's off the tea and i hit in the water It's pretty embarrassing because I was playing with Tom Glavin and Greg Maddox. You know who they are, right?
Starting point is 01:20:53 Greg Maddox. Greg Maddox. Yeah, those are two legends. Yeah, and I shank one off the tee on a part three. It's pretty awesome. And then, yeah, it's okay. I dropped it. I made up and down from 120 yards out from 170 yard hole.
Starting point is 01:21:14 they shanked it into the water. You shanked like a long iron or midiron? I shanked a five. Get it off the hosel and I said, well, I haven't done that in a while. That makes me feel great, no offense. Yeah, no, no, Tom Lavin said, I mean, I don't know how your score is unbelievable today. I shot three over and you said it should have been at least. I don't know how I broke 80.
Starting point is 01:21:42 My show game was incredible today. I ducked up to drive too. Oh, man. What's your favorite golf course in the world? Probably Black Wolf Run. I absolutely love that track. That's in Wisconsin. Colorado, Wisconsin.
Starting point is 01:21:59 Yeah, I heard that place is awesome. I've actually never played golf in Wisconsin. It's so sick. What's the best club in Vegas? The Summit Club. Have you guys been? Which one? No, you guys haven't said because it's the Summit.
Starting point is 01:22:12 No. It's owned by the Discovery land properties, and it's a part of their golf courses. And, oh, man, it's so nice. I think I've seen a lot of postings from there that you put up. Yeah, I have an honorary membership that Mr. Melman gave me as a sponsorship, and it's one of the most incredible places that the positive play. I mean, you need to go there to see it. You need to go and see it for yourself.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Well, next time I'm in Vegas, your personal hype man's going to have to. I have to obviously come out and check it out. Yeah, you should. When you come to Vegas, you got to let me know. If you come to Vegas and don't let me know, we're done. That's why I. It's over. Fair.
Starting point is 01:22:55 That is fair. I mean, I'm not a, yeah. I'm completely over. Question. I think I got a guy at MGM now, so whenever I go to Vegas, I stay at MGM. What are your thoughts on MGM? I'm going to my sponsor. So you love it.
Starting point is 01:23:10 I absolutely love MGM's sponsors. Are you kidding? They treat me so well. I go to shows, hotels. If I'm at home, I mean, my mom goes to spa almost every day. And then I, she gets facials. Everyone goes, oh, you look so much younger. What's your secret?
Starting point is 01:23:28 She goes, oh, my daughter. My daughter and her sponsorship, I just use the spa credit. That's awesome. It's so funny. Yeah, we get massages. We have a boys massage day, whereas my brother, David Lipsky, our friend Brian Martin and I all go get a facial. And yes, they love facial.
Starting point is 01:23:51 I've actually... You have that kind of day. I, um, so I've never gotten a pedicure, but I've, everybody keeps telling me that I'll love it, so I really want to get a pedicure. You should. It's, I don't know why guys don't get pedicured. It's one of, I mean, it's about, it's necessarily just taking care of your feet. I went into this
Starting point is 01:24:11 I just got a pedicure last week and these two guys I think they just came back from a fishing trip and they were just I don't know you know they looked like men
Starting point is 01:24:22 and they just walked in these huge two guys and just sat down and about two pedicures I thought that was the cutest thing on the planet I'm a little worried like I have really ticklish feet
Starting point is 01:24:32 I'm worried I'm gonna like kick somebody in the face oh so do I but they don't do it if you don't like it so okay because there was on
Starting point is 01:24:40 a foot massage? Oh yeah. Love feet massage. Foot massage. It's like that, except they're just cleaning up your feet again. Has a fan or a member of the gallery ever gotten under your skin? Has a fan or galas gone under my skin?
Starting point is 01:24:55 Yeah, like rattled you. Like, annoying? 100%. What happened? What were they saying? I don't even know. I mean, there's so many random things. Oh, you know what? There was a situation where somebody said, I don't know if I want to say.
Starting point is 01:25:12 It's just something like during a matchway that said, how the fuck did she not give her that pot or something like that? And I just kind of going, oh, okay. That does battle me quietly, but I don't know. There are situations where they do. Did you clap back at that person? Did you clap back of that person? Like, I can give her.
Starting point is 01:25:31 No. No, I'm so, I'm so, I'm not calm. But I'm definitely a way more collected on the golf course. So I just, I mean, if I say the word fuck and if I had caught on TV, that means I was suppressing that word at least for the last 10 hours. I couldn't help myself. I would never cross on purpose, but it just comes out. What's the most nervous you've ever been on a golf course?
Starting point is 01:25:57 You know what? I was really nervous at Shanghai. I was more nervous at Shanghai than I was at KPMG. Wow. Yeah, on the 17th post specifically. It's reachable part five. I hate my three wood, so I thought I was going to top it in the water or something, but I needed to make birdie there because that's beachable for me.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And then because I hated my three wood so much that I took a five wood and tried to kill it 230 or something like that. And then it barely covered these bunkers into the wind. Wait, no, straight down wind. And then I had this short-sided chip on an uphill slope, and you're going to have to hit those low, spinners that guys are really good at and I was practicing that a lot and that's one of the shots that I don't trust so everything about that hole was really uncomfortable and I was just nervous standing on the T-locks looking at the scoreboard and the leader board and it wasn't
Starting point is 01:26:53 updating properly so it just said that there were leaders at least one ahead of me so I needed to make birdie there because 18-could is really hard to birdie so but I pulled it off and I was I was so nervous hitting that three-footer as well I don't know why that's awesome it's crazy you're more nervous there than you were for the major. It's just, I guess, nerds come with sometimes insecurity, right? It's a doubt that creeps back in your head where you think, oh, what if? Or I've been a really big situation. I need to pull this off or something.
Starting point is 01:27:24 I don't know. That's my opinion. And I think everything about people is that was so uncomfortable. And the fact that I kept, I know what my position was where and where I was standing and all of that and put together, I was just super nervous. Who's the most fun girl to play practice rounds with out there? You know, I don't know, but I can tell you I'm one of the least fun players to play practice rounds with because no one plays with me anymore. What?
Starting point is 01:27:55 Why? That's shocking. Yeah, I'm so slow. So slow. It's watching paint dry when I'm playing practice round. What are you just too methodical? Which doesn't even play with me anymore. I just hang out at the golf course all day.
Starting point is 01:28:09 I just, I mean, my record, I think, I'm diamond resorts. There's only a 26 player, it's a 26 player field, right, that week. And there were celebrities, which means only 50 people or so are playing the whole golf force. I let seven groups through in nine holes. And I was a single. Holy shit. Well, that would explain to you how slow I play. What are you doing, like map in every hole?
Starting point is 01:28:36 What are you doing? No, I just Like being on the golf course So I hit my tea shot Then I just chip around And then I look at the green And then I'm then I pot And then by the time I do that
Starting point is 01:28:49 So I'll go through it I don't want to feel rushed So I let them through I wanted to chip a couple more here There Have a barbecue Yeah You know
Starting point is 01:28:59 Have a nice picnic And then if I eat I let them through again I don't want to eat And walk and rush So I sit down in the tea lock I go oh you guys can go through I'm just taking a break
Starting point is 01:29:07 And my catty just said there He's just one he took probably Oh god I bet he hates you Yeah Yeah he just hates it He's because See we came up at 11 It's 4
Starting point is 01:29:19 It's like eight holes Let's go That's incredible And then I always say don't rush me Yeah naturally So I'm like a 5-6-ish handicap How bad would you beat me in a straight-up match How bad?
Starting point is 01:29:35 I mean You say you're five and three I'm like a five slash six handicap Why are you laughing at me? Whatever people tell me the handicap I always double it All right So I'm telling you that I'm that
Starting point is 01:29:50 So you can do whatever calculations You like in your head How badly do you think How badly would you beat me? I don't know, come to Vegas Go play, I'll let you know I mean you can go on the podcast And tell them
Starting point is 01:30:01 I'll be able to try on That sounds like a challenge I like that We'll have to set that up I don't like her sinister I mean yeah she's just like I'm going to fucking murder you is what she's saying That's exactly what I was thinking
