Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Very interesting show. Today, we are in different locations. I feel like Frankie last week when Frankie was like buzzing from Saratoga. You're on the phone. It feels weird. You can't see the guys. I'm in Boston. You guys are coming up to Boston tonight. We've got a special date tomorrow. People are going to have to follow us on our Instagram story at 4PlayPod. We've got a big day for the four-play group tomorrow, but gentlemen, how are you?

How is the office? Things are growing great here. Your voice sounds great. I know exactly what you're feeling right now. You're probably walking around the room. You probably feel real loose. Probably have your shoes off. That's how I felt when I was in Saratoga.

But, yeah, it's a little stuffy here. We're all a little bit tired. You know, the office just brings you down on a Monday. Yeah, it's hot in New York, and it's a Monday. So, you know, we're ready to hit the road and get to Boston. I'm losing my voice a little bit. I've been a little, I'm like, I think I'm getting Dave Port and my noodley. I've been on the road.

since Tuesday. So, but I am excited for the things that are coming. Boys, let me tell you, I could not have had a better day. I've just been inside my hotel room. Literally for 20, probably like 26 hours straight. I haven't moved. Oh, that sounds amazing. I mean, I never want to complain about this job because it's the best job in the world.

But there's nothing quite like blogging when there's no distraction. There's no footballs flying over your head. There's no baseballs flying over your head. You can get 20 blogs done when you usually get two done here. It was great today. I was just sitting here. Cool, calm, collected, not a distraction in sight. I got TV on, sitting in this bed.

I got this king-sized beds, like the biggest bed in the world. I just sat in here all day, blogging, hanging out, getting ready for the show, getting ready to talk to you guys. So it's been nice. I've consumed, I've actually been able to consume a lot of golf stuff because, like, during the day we don't get to just, like, watch Golf Channel, you know? Like, whatever shit's going on in the office. I've just had Golf Channel on all day

and all these little comments about the Ryder Cup and these interviews and all this that they just put on the screen all day that you miss, I've been catching everything. I've been seeing fucking everything. Fucking buzzing today, baby. It's that hotel, man. I'm buzzing.

Do you see how many fucking topics I put on the show? I mean, this email is like so big I can't even load it right now. No, it's another thing. You miss like the internet just doesn't work in the office anymore. Oh, Riggs is very familiar with how the internet doesn't work. I know, but today it was bad. I mean, it took me... You have to be like a computer person, I guess.

I'm not a computer person, but now I'm starting to understand with like megabytes and all that shit. Like the bigger it is, obviously, the longer it takes. It took me like an hour and 10 minutes to upload a four-minute video today. At one point, I was just sitting at my desk and nothing would load and I just sat there with my hands crossed for like 20 minutes. Nothing was happening. So, Briggs had a much better day than us. My go-to, usually when I get so mad at the office that the Internet doesn't work is I just start banging on my desk, like child. It's so funny that you say that.

I can tell when the internet is out when I hear things moving around Riggs's desk. He's just shuffling stuff around and he's like banging on the wall and like, oh, the internet must be out. I just bang on my desk. I don't know what. I don't know where I picked that up, but I just start banging on my desk until the internet gets picked. Today, I didn't have any of that. You're like a toddler. Yeah, that's correct.

And today, I mean, I'm just on like Marriott guest internet and it's phenomenal. Heather had an issue the entire day. It has been excellent. So things are good. We've got a ton of shit to talk about. We've got to go through a couple of players, decide how we feel about them. I wrote a blog today.

Then I'm all in on Bryson D. Chambot. I imagine Frankie's probably going to lose his fucking kitchen over that whole blog. We've got to talk about Whitney. We've got a lot to get to. But first, we've got to say that when it comes to below the belt comfort, there is a regular underwear, and then there is Tommy John, the revolutionary clothing brand that has redefined comfort for men and women everywhere.

Let me put it to you this way. Tommy John doesn't give an F. They give three F's. Fabric, fit, and function. I have never seen that copy before, but I like that a lot. It was fantastic. Oh, man. The three Fats, fabric, fit, and function.

We all rock Tommy John. I think I don't think I played a golf, a round of golf without Tommy John in like a year and a half now. They got that little pocket thing for all your goods and all that. Tommy John's so nice. I only had, when I went to Saratoga, I only brought two pairs with me, and I saved them for, like, the nice days of going out days. And then, I'll be honest, I didn't want to get out of them the next day, so I just went right back into a pair that I wore the day before because they're that good.

You know, that's a hell of an endorsement. Like a dirty pair of Tommy John or better than a clean pair of normal? I had to do it because, you know, it's just like you're wearing, like, you're wearing really nice clothes and you just want to feel good under there. You don't want to be wearing, like, the other material. It's just like, it feels like crusty. Tommy Johns have ruined all other underwear. That's correct. All other underwear stinks compared to Tommy John.

They're that good. Tommy John's men's and women underwear sport a no-wedgy guarantee, comfortable, stay-put, waistbands, and a range of fabrics that are luxuriously soft, feather-light, moisture, wicking, breathable, and designed to move with you, not against you. That means there's no bunching, no riding up. Tommy John is so confident in their underwear that if you don't love it, you don't love your first pair, you get a full refund with their best pair you'll ever wear or it's free guarantee. That includes their new life-changing women's underwear that's sold out in just six weeks,

but it's now fully back in stock. Give three Fs about your underwear and upgrade with Tommy John today. That's fabric, fit, and function. Now, we're going to hook you up, as we always do. If you heard you, Tommyjohn.com slash four, you're going to get 20% off your first order. That's Tommyjohn.com slash four, F-O-R-E. that's Tommyjohn.com slash four for 20% off. Tommyjohn.com slash four.

So let's start with Ryan Whitney. I don't want to get too into this because, like I said, it's probably going to be September 24th week, so we're still a month or so away. Whitney on his little hockey podcast there went into me again, I guess. I haven't listened to every word of it. I listened to a little bit of it. That's fine.

We're talking at this point. There's enough talking. We get it. The one thing I do want to say, however, is that Whitney has been like basically weaponizing spit and chicklets listeners so that, I mean, I'm posting Instagram pictures about the lovely forwardplay fans raising almost $19,000 for a phenomenal cause, the NYPD at the NY Widows and Children's Benefit Fund wrote a nice check for them for 18,000.

Yeah, incredible stuff. $76.66.69. Nice. And the chicklets fans, they have been. so weaponized by Mr. Whitney that they are commenting, you're a fucking loser on my picture about all this money. I was going to say it's fine for him to talk shit on spitting chocolates because I think on this podcast we have talked shit about Ryan Whitney when he wasn't here.

So that's one thing. But for them to be, you know, being mean when you're doing something nice for the community, that doesn't seem like an okay thing. Things are heating up. You know, I don't mind it. But the one thing I want to say is that if he thinks that it's just going to be spitting chikelets fans, out there. He's a crazy person.

We have been to all these golf tournaments. We know how many of you playtrons are out there. And this match goes down. We are going to need an army of fans that are not out there rooting for this millionaire, professional athlete who doesn't have a single issue in this world.

He's just Mr. frickin' spoiled. Does whatever he wants. He takes helicopters from course to course with the Eric Carlson's of the world and all that. If he thinks that everyone in the crowd is going to be stuck in this guys did. Oh, no, no, no. They're rooting for the underdog, three strokes, at least underdog because of the handicapped system. That's why there are odds on this match.

He makes millions. I do not make million. There are going to be tons of our four-play fans out there rooting for, again, not just for me, but for everyone that's the common man, the common golfer, which Ryan Whitney is not. And so I just want people to understand that. Yes, I respect what the chicklets guys are out there. They're fired shots, Abby. while I'm raising money for charity, no big deal. Good for them, but we also have an army, and they will be out there. I mean, it's Happy Gilmore versus Shooter McAvin. That's essentially what's playing out between you too.

And if you want to root for Shooter McEvin, that's what you can do, but it's not the right person to root for. Happy Gilmore, man of the people, underdog, getting strokes. This is the guy you should be rooting for, the foreplay guy. Yeah, Ryan Whitney, he's a good guy. He's got a big personality. He talks a big game, and he's, you know, he's cocky, and he spreads his money on Twitter around and how much he made and all this stuff.

But when it comes down to it, on the golf course, it's just you versus him. And we know in his professional career, you know, he hasn't been the best when the pressures come around. He's often, you know, faded. And he's, you know, he's playing a pretty good golf game right now. But times are coming for our guy Ryan Whitney on the golf course. They came on the pond, and now they're going to come on the grass. So, Riggs, I couldn't be more confident in you. I think we're going to destroy him in the mental game.

I think he's so cocky and he's so far up his ass. that he doesn't know what's coming when like Stoolies are like watching him putt I mean the guy's blowing putts in tournaments that like I'm sitting in my house and I'm chirping him. Guy had 42 putts in a mass damn qualify earlier this year I believe.

Yeah, you hate to see stuff like that. The camera's rolling. That's not what the stoolies chirping. So it's going to be, you know, when the chips are down, it's going to be interesting. He thinks, you know, I know he thinks he's like got all these eyes everywhere. I'm playing golf Saturday. I'm a North Shore Mass.

He texts me, I go, what did you shoot out there today? I know you're out there. I'm like, Whitney, you don't think I know fucking everywhere you're at all the time? You've got people messaging me left and right. I know where you're at, you're fucking clown. I'm trying to, like, intimidate me because he knows people that are there. Oh, you know a couple of caddies. Whitney, that's fucking great.

It's just, there's only so much talk that can be done. It's just going to come down to who can actually bring it when the cameras are rolling, which is going to be incredibly interesting because you've got two guys who are not professional golfers, who are prone to hitting very bad shots when the camera. cameras are not going, all of a sudden in front of huge crowds, it's going to be managing your misses, it's going to be playing a recovery game, it's going to be taking advantage when you are hitting it well during different stretches, it's going to be a golf match. It's going to be a big-ass golf match.

He can do all this fucking talk any once. He's got a little biz nasty there and his million followers. Oh, yeah, no shit you're going to get some clout with those chirps. I get it. You got your guy with a million followers that you had to drag into your podcast. I get that. I understand that. This is a grassroots operation.

This is Trent Daddy, myself. We brought on Frankie Borelli to Pizza Maker. All three of us just come from the most common man backgrounds in the world. Meanwhile, you got these two fucking millionaires with their millions of followers and all of that. You guys do your trip, and we're going to have plenty of the common men out there rooting for the right guys, which is going to be me and Frankie representing the right guys. And it's going to be a hell of a match. And I'm pretty fucking excited, Frankie.

I'll be honestly. I'm pretty fucking excited. I can't wait. And for people asking, we're going to push and try as hard as we can to get heart monitors. on these guys. I've had a couple people in my Twitter mentions asking if we can make that happen. We're going to try. I don't know what the logistics are like. I'm sure Riggs has been talking to people. We're going to try our best to get heart monitors on these guys. I would love to have a heart rate monitor. I think that'd be great. It doesn't really bother me.

You know, we're going to have a gallery. We're going to try to you. We've been talking to TopGoff. Shout out to Top Golf. I know you're out there listening, you fuckers. They're in. Sounds like they're in because TopGolf owns the Top Tracer technology. have to have the top tracer on every shot. I think it's like a pretty damn expensive special camera, the one that they can set up behind every shot. But anyways, we're in talks with them. We're trying to get that included, which would be huge.

That's insane. I think that's a must have. Dude, see, I was at dinner in Saratoga, and we were talking about this match with Dave, and obviously, you know, he's not the biggest supporter of you on the golf course. He's probably rooting for Whitney. Okay. And I was like, when we were talking, and he's like, you know,

he's like, I said we need a tracer on the ball. And he said that that was the dumbest thing I ever said. He's like, we think at Barstool, we can get, which is true. He's like, you think we can get like the ball to just like have a line behind it when I can't even get like the internet to work? And I understand that. But I said, I think it's as simple as like a camera that just like top golf and top tracer just like bring around and it's like this expensive technology. And if we can get that, then it would be solved. I think you're right.

Again, he makes a good point. He's been around the block more than we have. This is bars. We did a show, we did a college show in Iowa with Trent. Yep. And Pat McAfee and Dave, I shoved corn down someone's mouth. And it was one of the best shows we had done all year and there was no sound. Flew us all out there.

Yeah, we were all there. Private Jets. Rent it out. Yeah, you got private jet after the show. And then we just didn't have sound. So I get what Dave is saying. But for a match like this, it almost seems completely necessary because, you know, there's going to be some wild tracers out there for you guys.

Oh, yeah. I mean, a duck hook tracer is going to be a, nominal screenshot that'll live in history forever, all that stuff. We've got to have those. So, you know, we're trying, we're going to try to get it, but I understand Dave's point. But the main, the bigger, broader point is that this is going to be a hell of a production,

a hell of a match. People are into it as they should be. It is the common man against the millionaire professional athlete. And if you want to root for the millionaire professional athlete, go for it. But I think I know where our four-play crew stands, excited to have you guys out there, excited to have Frankie on the bag. Fuck Ryan Whitney, and we'll deal with it next time.

We talk to him. I'm sure, you know, he always comes firing back, so I'm sure we'll hear from him. Anyways, Bryson D. Chambot, look, I wrote a blog today. I'm just going to cut right to the chase. I'm a Bryson D. Chambo guy now. I'm all in on Bryce and D. Chambu.

I like him. I like him a lot. I like that he's this crazy fucking weirdo. He's looking at the game differently. He's closing. He's clearly going to be on the Ryder Cup team. He's a lock for the Ryder Cup now. Tiger loves him.

He's probably going to be a partner of Tigers at some point during the Ryder Cup. Don't want to be on the wrong side of that. Plus, he's just obsessed with golf. The guy's just obsessed with becoming better at golf. He's got a weird-ass-fucking approach to it. The single-length clubs, the pro tractors, all the weird shit encompasses to read Greens. I love it. It's weird.

I like weird. I'm now in on Bryce DeCambeau. Frankie, I imagine that you are not. Yeah, I mean, I read the blog. There's some things in there that I, you know, disagreed with, obviously. I mean, you said geeks are cool, and you're ranting about how he takes out, like, these protractors and all these rulers and all this stuff, and it makes him different, and it makes him cool, and he's obsessed with golf. I think a lot of guys are obsessed with

golf. And I also, for some reason, you're not associating him with, like, the 90% of those, like, country club guys and, like, the douchebag feel. But I, when I see him, that's, like, exactly who I see. He's, like, the peak one to me. Like, oh, there goes Bryson sitting in the corner of the country club, you know, cafe, and he's, like, doing his math equations because he's playing nine holes later. Like, no one go up to him. He's going to get mad at someone for, like, interrupting his studies. Like, he doesn't seem like the type of, the guy that's, like, going to be crushing. He's not like Kisner, like crushing beers before the round being, like a common man. I think he's, like, the total opposite. Yeah, and I get that he's an interesting guy,

and he has certainly earned my respect now that he's, you know, he's got three wins now, but I certainly do not like the guy. He's not a guy that I root for. He's not a guy that I'm rooting for to win. But for the longest time, I was shitting on a, because he was getting all this attention, and he hadn't won anything. In fact, I mean, I think he missed like eight cuts in a row at one point. That's what I didn't like. A guy like that getting that much attention. But now that he's winning, I certainly respect it.

But I don't look at Brayson Deschambeau and Gola. Oh, man, that's a guy I want to root for. I love everything about him. That's a guy I want to see win. He's just not that type of guy to me. So I guess my thing is that I'm not sitting here saying he's like a common man and he's clearly crushing beers and is the most fun dude in the world. Definitely not saying that.

What I am saying is any time I'm fun. fucking watch and golf and I sit down. I'm trying to find something that separates the guys or one guy and the fact that he's interesting or he's different or he does things his own way or something of that nature that makes him different and more interesting than the cookie cutter guy on the PGA tour. And I think Bryson Dichambeau is clearly that guy. There's all kinds of shit going into everything that he's doing. He's always got a new stroke.

He had the side saddle putting fucking thing where he standing behind the golf ball and like poking at it on the greens. he had the whole compass thing, which, again, when he's doing weird shit like that, it just separates him and makes him, in my opinion, significantly more interesting than most of the people that I'm watching. And now, when you factor in that he, that I, from spending a couple minutes with him, determined that he's not just doing this for, like, show, right? Because right on, like, right out of the gate, he's posted pictures of, like,

oh, just me, like alone, work on the range. And it was with, like, seven people helping him and stuff like that. So we were kind of like, all right, this guy's just like trying to, whatever, he's trying to like cultivate his image so that he looks a certain way and all that. Having spent time with him, seeing him on the range by himself of not a fucking single camera around. Like I, you spend like, you spent as much time as you spend with the, you spend as you spend with the guy who hands you a towel in the bathroom. It was like a little passerby. You guys stared at each other. Do you love every fucking cab driver you get in a car with?

No, because if the cab driver that I spend time with isn't like a cool, different guy that I thought he was, then no, I'm not going to like change my opinion of the cab driver. But when I talk to a guy, I spend 15 minutes watching him on the range and realize that all the things that I may have thought about him, like he's just doing it for the cameras aren't actually true because there's no fucking cameras around. I might change my opinion of the guy. I will agree with you that he makes, he is an interesting personality on the tour. I guess it almost doesn't matter whether you like him or you hate him. You just don't want it to be, you don't want guys in the middle who are, like you said, cookie. Cutter. So I suppose love is the same as hate in terms of interest. Yeah, I mean, I don't know that love is the same thing as hate, but I would say that

I, you know, you guys are acting like, I saw the guy for eight seconds and that was that. We, you can talk to Logan, talk to Logan. We went over there. We stood with him for like 15 minutes on the corner of the range. There was literally not another single person on the driving range. We watched the way the interaction with fans, what he was doing, the fact that he's just hitting balls for fun. It wasn't even like he was like in the grind box the entire time. He's actually just like having fans call out like chip it to there, hitting a chip and then laughing when he couldn't hit it there. He just seemed like a way more fucking normal dude than I thought he was beforehand. And when you couple that with the fact that Tiger

obviously loves him and wants them to be on the Ryder Cup team and partner with him and the fact that he's won more events in the last 13 months than Spieth, Rory McElroy and Ricky Fowler combined, he's got some Cajonais, all that. I really fucking like the guy now. all right yeah i i feel like it's whenever a guy's winning right if a guy's winning it seems like like feelings towards someone in the golf community change like a guy like you know i don't think him winning or him like being on the range talking about people like takes anything away from me just like and the way i feel about him i think like i think i said this last time when when you saw him on the range with like the kids and like hitting the chips that's like the week after he went viral

for being, like, going mental on the range. So I think it's all part of the plane. I think he's the most calculated person on the universe. I think he has, like, a layer in his basement where, like, they say, all right, we're going to go on the range. And there's going to be like, even if there's one person, Bryson, you're going to say this to this little kid. Oh, I hope Riggs from Barstool is there so I can convince him to like me.

I'm telling you, I think this guy's calculated. Like lunatics right now. What are you even talking about? He's the lunatic. He hoodwinked you and 11 him. He said, there's rigs. There's a guy who's got 100,000 Twitter followers. I know that he doesn't like me.

I'm on the grounds and I'm meeting people and talking to them and telling the opinions based on my interactions. Rather than you guys are throwing things at the wall right now. What are you talking about? He's all just calculated. Not calculated all. I caught him on the range. He'd been there fucking all day doing the exact same thing. I happen to walk up towards the end of it.

He calculated you. You fell right into his mouset, man. He saw you coming from a mile away. You weren't even there. I know who he is. I'll talk to Logan. I know exactly what he does. and you know what, I don't need these stories from the range.

I don't need these stories from the range. That should be a new Riggs feature, stories from the range. That's all they are. There's stories. Bryson D. Chambot. The guy names his golf clubs. He has all the same fucking, I understand he's interesting. He's an asshole.

You can be an interesting asshole. Do you not agree? Riggs is going to walk up on Ian Poulter and he's going to kiss him on the lips. Did you not, did you, the video of him at Cardoosey on the range? did you not like that? I thought that video was awesome. I, like, hate watched it. Like, I enjoyed watching it because he's such a lunatic.

Like, yeah. That's part of the narrative to me is where he's going crazy. I watch that, I'm like that. I'm like that guy. That guy is crazy and I don't like it. I watched it and I did that. Who's the guy? Like, it's maybe the wrong gift, but the Antonio Bender is where he, like, he leans back.

And, like, I got satisfaction watching him melt down. It made me happy. Oh, my God. Watching him meltdown. He is exact. I played against these kids in high school golf that went to the really rich schools. I'll call him out right now, Cold Spring Harbor. That was always the one town that we fucking hated these kids.

There was a little Italian kid. He was an eighth grade. He played on the senior team. And he was a little chubby, like, bully. And he would come over here. And, like, if you said anything around him, like, you felt bad even, like, talking golf in his presence. And that's the exact vibe I get from Bryson. Like, him being on that range and he hit one bad shot, he's, like, crying to him.

himself. He has his hands in his, he has his hands over his face because he hit like the wrong draw. Get over yourself, dude. He, Bryson has definitely been one time in his life and like, you don't bring a protractor out here. Like you don't bring everything that you need. He is, that's exactly what he is. That's a type of person. And I understand he's winning and he's in the guy. I want my guy out there when he's not, when he can't find it on the range, he is so fucking devastated about it that he's literally having a panic attack. That was awesome. That was one of the best videos of the year. I don't want my guy just out there like, uh, whatever, I guess I don't

have it today, who gives a fuck? No, I want my guy, especially when you're, this is like, Kisner is the exact opposite, right? We've got one of our guys is Kidd, who is super cool, com, collective, nothing ever affects him ever. And that's our guy, Kizh, who's the cool com collected guy. Then my other guy, Bryson... It almost feels

like you can't like both, though. I don't want him. What do you mean you can't like both? You can like whoever the fuck you want. You got to have on your squad, you got to have a lot of different interesting type characters. You don't just have all the same fucking guys. We're definitely, there's a difference between interest and liking.

Yeah, but, but, Riggs, there's a difference. There's also, fucking, Pete Portnoy thing. You got a whole mix of characters there. You got fucking everybody from... Yeah, I understand that,

but there's a difference. You got all kinds of different characters. I understand that you need characters. I understand you need characters. I'm saying that the difference between him getting distraught after him hitting shots, I understand that he's passionate and he's like, and you want a type of guy that cares that much,

but the way he does it and the way he carries himself is different than when, like, bounds and he's like and people get videos of tiger saying you motherfucker to himself like i like that more because tiger doesn't hold himself to that same like dude he just doesn't come off as like that douchebag you know everything that he does you like tiger more than bryson ds and he's but but you're saying that but what you're saying is that you like a guy that that gets like upset after he hits a bad shot and we we i like that too but in a different way and that's why i use

tigers that example. I don't like the way Bryson holds himself. I just don't like it. We've seen so many parts of him. Every time you watch him on national television, it's just nothing to like about him. And I understand that you had your second on the range with him, but I am going to continue the way I feel because... It was so funny when Bryce and Deschambe, when he put it out yesterday

and one, he put his arms in there, there were two people in the crowd clapping. There were two. The place was full, and people were just like, yay, we're glad that you dominated the tournament. Oh, you people don't understand Bryce and Deschambe, I guess. I just think there's a difference between an interesting person on the tour and having to feeling like I need to like that person. Let's get into the Ryder Cup since this is a good segue.

Bryce and Duchampo is clearly going to be on the Ryder Cup, in my opinion, and everybody's opinion pretty much, we have on September 4th, which is a week, I believe, from today, Jim Furrick, Captain Jim Furich will be making three of his four picks. it's almost a foregone conclusion at this point who the picks are going to be. Tiger, Phil, Bryce and Deschambeau are going to be the first three in almost everybody's minds. Now he gets four picks total.

If you recall, this is the Billy Horshaw rule where they picked their four picks and then Billy Horshaw wasn't one of those picks. Then he went on an absolute tear and won the FedEx Cup and they were like, oh shit, the best player in the world right now isn't even on a Ryder Cup team. So they save the fourth spot. Everybody pretty much thinks that's going to be Tony Fienau,

who has had, like, the most consistent year of all times. Some other names that have been floated in there are our guy, Kevin Kisner, Matt Coutcher, the course, apparently. How do you say it, Frankie? Le Golf National. Le Golf National is apparently an incredibly tight golf course. So there is some talk that Fienau kind of bombs the ball. He's not the most accurate.

but he's pretty accurate. He's not the most accurate. There's some chatter that maybe Tony Fienow wouldn't be as good a pick as a kid or a cooch or somebody like that because those guys are incredibly straight off the tee. But regardless, people still mostly believe Tiger, Phil, Bryson, Tony Fienow, boom, the team will be set.

Gentlemen, what do we think about the record? Is there any chance that Jim just makes Tiger wait out into the fourth person or is his act like coming to an end already? Like, there's no way he would do it. there, right? Because that would be all time. I mean, we have to be rooting at this point for him to drag it out, right? Yes. It would be awesome. 100% I'm

that would be insane. Because then the reveal would be like people be shooting off fireworks in the street. They'd be so excited. Yeah. Because the fourth, I'm assuming, comes like days after or something? The fourth, I believe, comes like a week after. Oh, imagine

that week. Imagine he sends out those three names and tigers, not one of them. And that week goes by with just him just smirking at the cameras because he knows what's coming, and we're all freaking out, the world's burning. If Jim Furek has a flare for the dramatic, which I'm really not sure that he does, I'm pretty sure he doesn't. But if he does, he will hold Tiger's pick.

That whole week will be so much fun. And Tiger just comes out of the smoke. It's like you thought I was going to leave this fucking Terminator out. Well, he's here. It would be so, it'd be too risky because right now he can pick Tiger and a a no-brainer because Tiger's been playing well. He almost won the PGA a couple weeks ago. But let's say he doesn't pick Tiger next week.

And then Tiger has like two shitty weeks and, like, plays terrible. And then he's like, well, fuck. Now I have to pick Tiger after he just played terrible. So I think it's too risky. But I do believe that if it weren't, I wouldn't put it past them to like hold off on the Tiger pick because of fucking how awesome and dramatic it would be. They've gone this far with their stupid charade. Like, you might as well just keep doing it.

Yeah, you're right, though. want him to back himself into a corner where it even like sneaks into his mind that he doesn't want to pick Tiger. Right, because if he picks Tiger and Tiger doesn't play well, they can all be like, well, you know, he's just leading up to the Ryder Cup and whatever this tournament didn't matter or whatever. But if he doesn't get picked and he doesn't play well,

then like you're saying, boy, was he backed into a corner. But fuck, I mean, they'd make movies over those theatrics. Let's see. I think you nailed it too. Like, Jim Gehrick is not a player for the dramatic guy. I mean, obviously we're biased, but I really hope kids Obviously, Phinehouse had a great year, but Kisner will be great.

There's something to be said for a good locker room guy, no? Like, Kisner would be the type of guy who was just like, like the President's Cup. Like, he was awesome on that team. Like, you feel like those guys really bonded. I agree. I think Kisner, I believe, was undefeated at the President's Cup. I know he played a couple rounds at least with Phil. Remember him and Phil doing like the dances on the green?

Oh, yeah. Yep. So, oh, man. So he's got all that love, obviously, with. Phil. So, I mean, there's definitely something there. Yeah, he was, Kiz was 2-0 and 1 in the President's Cup, which is fantastic. He is boys

with everybody on the squad. He's notoriously boys with J.T. obviously, because that's all come back to us and I get texts via Kisner about JT, what JT wants to tell us without telling us directly and all that stuff. So anyways, Kiz is clearly boys with that whole squad. So you're right. There's

something to be said for the locker room guy type. I just, I think if it were two weeks ago, like right for the PGA. I think he had a much better shot. Yep. Because he almost, he was leading both the British Open and the PGA championship for a while.

He has that bulldog feel. He's a locker room guy. He was dominated at the President's Cup last year. He matched incredibly well with Phil and the other guys. So I think he was looking great. But now it's almost, I just, he would have to win or something, I feel like, for those guys to pick him,

which is a fucking bummer, because I want kids to be on the squad more than anything. But I just think it'd be really hard for them to leave Bryson or Tony Fienow off. No, yeah, I agree with that. Shout out to our guy, Colby, who runs the radio with me in the control room. He, every single tournament, bets Tony Fienow to win. And Tony Fienow has always just been in the mix. And every Thursday, Friday, you know, I just hear Colby being like, Tony Fienow.

Like, Tony Fienow is, like, leading a couple tournaments, a couple majors he's been in the mix. And he's always just like, every Friday I, leave work. I'm always like, oh, Kobe, like Tony Fee now this week. And then every Monday I come in, the first thing I say to him is like, fucking Tony Fee now, man. Like, he was right there. He came in to check the levels right before we started recording. And he goes, fucking Tony Fee now, like Tony Fee now, man. Tony Fee now is just tickling my balls for like seven months now. I mean, he went through that whole thing where he like snapped his ankle at the masters and then ended up like leading the tournament like the next day. Colby's been on a

roller coaster of Tony Fee now. But yeah, I just thought that was a funny wrinkle. Every day I hear him talk about Tony Feeneau, this fucking guy. I mean, I think Colby may bet his entire life savings on Tony Feeneau if he makes it to the Ryder Cup team. No joke. Tony Feenow is having, like, the best year of the history of the BGA tour without a win. Like, ever. And Colby's been running him, like, hard from day one of the season.

So it's been a long year. Colby might storm in here and kick us in the face since we're talking about it. It's just, it's like stunning his year. He's got, I'm looking right. now. He's got he's got three second place finishes, nine top ten, sixteen top

25, and he's made 22 out of 25 cuts, and zero wins. He's made like five million bucks, no wins. And Colby's made Zip. Zero. Poor Colby. Those second place finishes are tough, man, watching those fucking tournaments.

How many second place finishes? Three. Oh, that's That's tough. Odds are that like that doesn't happen. It's a real shame. It's just such a real shame. I love it.

We're going to get into, there's a bunch of Tiger talk with our boy, Kip Henley, who was on the bag with Austin Cook on Saturday. But first, have you ever looked at your credit card statement and been shocked by the interest rate? Yep. I bet you have. I bet you absolutely have. Did you know you could actually roll all of your credit card debt into one monthly payment at a lower fixed interest rate? Trent Daddy and myself know this because as we have discussed, we are financially illiterate. Very much so.

Lightstream. Oh, Lightstream saved our lives basically for like the last year. We have just been on the uphill trajectory. We've been trending up just as Tiger's been talking about for his Rider Cup selection status, trending in the right direction. We have been trending in the best direction ever, ever since we started getting hooked up with Lightstream. Lightstream offers credit card consolidation loans from 5.89% APR with auto. auto pay, lower than the average credit card interest rate of over 18%.

APR, that is way lower. Get a loan from $5,000 to $100,000, and you can even get your funds as soon as the day that you apply. One day. Lightstream believes that people with good credit deserve a great interest rate and no fees. Fun fact, Lightstream plants a tree with every loan they fund. That's really nice. What a nice thing to do. Saving the Earth.

So there's a couple. We've got to talk about this really quickly. There's some rumors swirling around that the new FedEx Cup changes are going to have. So essentially the FedEx Cup, they don't love the fact that they've had this awkward situation like they did last year where the winner of the Tour Championship, which is, of course, the final tournament of the year, is not the same person that wins the FedEx Cup.

Last year, I believe it was Xander Schoffley who won the Tour Championship and Justin Thomas won the FedEx Cup bigger deal. They don't like that. So there's been this rumor that they're going to basically stack the deck for the tour championship so that like whoever's in first place going into in the FedEx Cup standing is going into the door championship starts the tournament at 10 under par. Dude, when I saw this tweet this morning and I read that on my way to work, I thought it was like a sports onion piece. I thought it was satire. That makes, I get that it makes sense, but that is one of these stupidest things. that I have ever heard.

You just cannot do that. That makes anybody who doesn't watch golf or is just like a casual observer is going to be like that, that's a joke. Everybody, that makes it the whole thing look even more like a joke. I would rather just keep it the same. They can't do this. Yeah, like, I mean, it seems fake. It seems what I've worked for. I mean, I still think Trent is perplexed in here.

No, because I legit. His hands are just like floating towards the ceiling. He doesn't know what to do with his hands right now. He's perplexed. You can't do that. You can't do that. started off and be like, all right, that guy is already $10.00. Like, that makes it a fucking joke.

What do we even talking about? What are we even talking about? This isn't even real. What does that mean? So, like, I'm going to play a baseball game and you're up. You get 10 runs. You get 10 runs. Why play the game? Could you imagine that, like, Dustin Johnson's teeing off on the first round, and they're, like, introducing him, like, next run to tee. on North Carolina, Justin Johnson,

and they look and he's just 10 under par on the first fucking T. It's like his little score thing that he walks around with. It says like Dustin Johnson minus 10. You bring up a great point. You bring up a great point, actually. That'll drive down viewership like a motherfucker.

People being like, Dustin Johnson's not going to let go of a 10 shot lead. Like that's just not going to happen. So if they already started him out like that, people are going to be like, I'm not even going to watch because I don't know who's going to win. This doesn't seem right. This doesn't seem real.

So I would assume if they do that, then, like, the guy that's in second would start at, like, nine or eight under or something like that, and they would just kind of go backwards to zero at some point. Let me tell you something. They have to. Let me tell you something. If you are starting a tournament or you are running a playoffs thing where you have to be like, all right, or tour championship, where you have to be like, all right, this guy gets a 10-stroke lead, then you are doing it wrong and you need to blow up the entire thing. This isn't the answer. It's a weird thing. It's a very weird thing.

This is like that Friars Fest. like the friars fest of sports. Remember when that guy tried to throw that amazing party in like the Bahamas and everyone was shitting themselves and they all lost their money? Yep. This is that. I bet you this guy's running this tournament who's, I bet you he thinks he has like a whole new way to live

life and like how to play the sport of golf and everyone's going to get to this tournament. Like everyone's going to start shitting themselves and nowhere everyone's going to lose their homes and like Dustin Johnson's going to like lose everything that's ever been like that he's ever had to his name because like he's just going to be involved in this. Whoever plays in this

I don't even want to start talking about this. I also guarantee. I don't want to give this any. My one last thing that I'll say is I guarantee they floated this out there to see the public perception of it to be like, oh, maybe people will be all right with this. We are not okay with this. Not even remotely okay with this.

You fucking hate it. We fucking hate it. Yeah, one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard my entire life. Shout to the BGA tour coming in with that one. Kip Henley, our boy Kip Henley, who we had on this podcast last year. So he's a looper for Austin Cook. He also, if you remember, when we had him on last year,

it was like a week or two after he had quit being on the bag for VJ Singh at the Players' Championship. Yep. So Kit Penley, he's on Twitter. You can follow up. He's awesome on Twitter. He just chimes in on everything. He's got a voice.

He's got an opinion. He's not afraid to share it. He kind of comments on everything you can imagine. We love caddies on this show, professional loopers. We love them. We've had our boy, Taylor Ford on a couple times. We've had Kit Henley on. and we love loopers.

They have the best stories by far. Just guys who have been, you know, playing alongside Tiger these last couple weeks. Yeah. Kipper, so he's been a huge advocate supporter of Tiger Woods forever, basically. We read a couple weeks ago, maybe it was last week. We read some tweets that he put out basically being like, if you don't think Tiger Woods is going to be the best player in the world

for the next like three or four years, you're a fucking idiot. I've got it pulled up. Somebody said Tiger dominated a bad. era golf and he said easily the dumbest take in the modern era. We talked about that. That's right. That's right. That's exactly what it was. Then he gets matched up. Austin Cook and Tiger Woods get matched up on Saturday out at Ridgewood and the Northern Trust. Kip went on to, you know, he obviously was tweeting going into it about how excited he was because Tiger is his number one, Tiger's the goat, all of that. He put up a bunch of tweets afterwards. He said Tiger couldn't have been a

cool guy to go out there with. He's one of the most respectful competitors I have been paired with. He did his homework, too, because he said on the first tee, looking forward to a Kipper and gave me a firm shake. He was intense, complimenting, and talkative. He goes in to drop a bunch of other cool little tidbits that Joe Likava was cool as heck to me. Never big dog me once. Cookie didn't have his best stuff today. That's Austin Cook. And said he was nervous on the first tee yet he blasted a perfect one. His Austin puttting proved he can play under the heat. Cookie will win lots the time's great day. And then he also said, Kipper went on to say, honestly, I was as calm as I could be. I've chatted with Tiger before, so that helped. But the real secret was that I was

just carrying my stuff and doing math. My man has the hard job. He has to control his swing and all of his emotions. So really cool stuff from Kipper being inside the roast with Tiger. Yeah, one of the cooler things that we've seen on this latest comeback tour from Tiger is that people, even his peers being in absolute awe of him, like you've seen countless times this year where a guy I'll play with Tiger on Saturday and Sunday, a young guy, like Austin Cook, and afterwards don't want to take a picture with him. We had Taylor Ford on talking about how awesome it was walking inside the ropes with him. Obviously, Kemp Henley did the same thing. That's been a nice little wrinkle in this.

It gives you a little bit of perspective. Like, I know we talk about Tiger a lot, and we're really, we're obsessed with him. We love him. But it's also cool to see that the people that he plays with, his peers are as in awe of him as we are. You know, it's kind of like a cooler version of, like, in baseball when they do, like, their final year victory lap. when like Jeter announces he's going to retire. Yeah. Every fucking person that he plays against,

that's like 21-year-old pitcher and stuff, taking pictures with him after the game and shit. It's a cooler version of that because Tiger is actually like fucking back and going to win tournaments and majors still, it feels like. Except he also, like you said, has that, like, aura now where the aura used to be just pure intimidation and like he's not going to give you the time of day because he's Tiger and he wants to have that competitive advantage 24-7. where now it's like this guy has already proven that he's the biggest legend in the history of the game

and holy shit i get to play in the same tournament as him that is that is amazing let me like take a picture let me tell a story blah blah blah so it's definitely different but it's i don't know i don't think it's like different in a negative like way where tiger's not competitive again or anything like it's just different in that he's like they clearly understand that he's the biggest legend of all time no and i don't think it's a negative either and i would also say that i bet tiger looks at that and he's like, holy shit, like all those years where he was, you know, less than friendly with everybody else. And now he's at this point in his career where he can look back and there's people like Austin Cook and everybody else who look at him and being like, oh shit. I bet he,

I bet that feels very good to him as opposed to like being very, you know, stubborn and mean everybody else. It's probably cool for him to be like, all right, these people really like me and I did some good things. Yeah, he's a living legend. Yes. He's a walking god. And he's starting to probably just, you know, accept that as opposed to being like, I'm this robot and I'm going to murder you. I think he finally has come around. He's older. He has kids.

I mean, we talked about it in the book, that great book by our friend, Armand Coutain. I believe that's called what? I believe it's called Tiger Woods. Yeah, it's got a big picture of his face on the cover there. They talk about just he's becoming a human and he's just, I mean, he is taking this from everything that we've seen like you guys just said, from all the quotes that we've been seeing recently and everyone's interactions with

him, he is just becoming a human being. and I think he's realizing that he, his presence means something to people. Right. And I think it takes a big person to actually like recognize that because you could just be a dick your whole life. He could have just kept being, you know, really standoffish and being like unapproachable. But now he realizes that, I mean, even our friend Paige Branick, like put up a video on her Instagram where he was just like chipping with her at his foundation like golf tournament or whatever. Like that was like the coolest thing I ever seen. Like that changes someone's life.

It changed my life watching it. Everybody who he comes into contact with, he changes their life. Yeah. And I think it takes a big person to actually have that much power and that much, you know, you represent something so big. And then you understand, like, a guy fucking Kip Henley is, like, out here, like, talking and raving about him. Like, he touches everyone no matter who you are when you're around him. That's fucking awesome.

I can't believe people still find ways to talk badly about this guy when he has so much power and such a chance to still be a dick and he's not. Let me say this. that page for anic story i that screenshot of the picture they took together and then i put the blog title was like tiger is definitely back yeah a lot of clicks that got just yeah i mean that was like that was combining our you know she's our barstool friend so a lot of a barstool guys love page i am actually more into uh her boyfriend or fiancee or whatever it is yes fiance he's real good looking and he's taking my breath away multiple times.

Not that Paige hasn't, but, you know, for me being a straight man, it takes a lot to, you know, take my breath away. And he sure does. When he wears that white golf cap, man, it's something. Yeah, I mean, you take a blog where you got Paige Branding, again, friend of ours, a good-looking lady, and Tiger Woods, you're going to get some clicks on that blog. Yeah, and when I watch that video, because we know Paige, we've been around here a lot, and watching her interact with, Tiger felt like I interacted with him.

Did you not feel the same way? I felt that. I mean, she, like, she hit your ass with a golf club. She hit a ball in my mouth. So, you know, she took a chunk out of my ass. Yeah. So that must, I mean, I felt like I was a tiger that day. So, yeah, I mean, I love everything that Kipper was right in here.

Made me feel real good. Yeah, it's awesome. You're right. It's just, it's true that he, it feels like he does now sense how much his presence means to other people, whichever one of you said that, nailed it. That was me. Oh, you gave me the Armic-Catian. thing where you're just like great you know that's great i feel good right now that feels good that's the

first time someone's like you know acknowledge that i said something because i usually just spew out bullshit i don't even know what i'm saying at the time well i think you made a great point thank you and we're gonna keep we're gonna keep talking about that good point i'll keep going you just cut me off no we can we're gonna move on but i did make a good point made a really nice point tiger's game this week and finished tied 40th putted terribly oh terribly he was he was great His driver, it feels like, is back. He said he kind of reverted back to an old shaft that he was using. He was using a little bit more loft than his driver.

He Tita Green was 11th in the field on approaches. He was third. That's not surprising. He's the best iron player to ever live in the history of humanity. Pudding, he was 70th. Not good. He just could not roll the rock. He was not even really fucking close.

And there been any talks of him sliding back to the other putter? I would love to see it I'll be honest That putter is one of the ugliest putters I've ever seen Yeah Although the The camera angle that we all don't like

And every time he puts the ball He misses It seems as though I like the way the potter looks When it's on the ground there On that we hate where it just shows You do? I cannot stand it

Oh I think it looks real comfortable It always makes me want to just get him out No No it's not It's like it's caught in between being a mallet and being a real putter. Like I want to see a clean look or I want to see like an obnoxious mallet thing that looks like it's on such a pendulum that it's like impossible not to swing it on plane.

And that thing's like caught in between. It's kind of this goot. And it's just, I don't like it. I think it's hideous. It's looked like it's almost, I don't like it so much that when he was charging at the PGA, I actually thought there's just no way that the golf gods would allow someone to win a major with that putter. I mean, you're making me feel nauseous right now.

I was going to say, like, I mean, the putter, he stuck this week with the putter, but he almost won the last two. You came very close to winning the last two majors with it, so it's kind of like, it was just a bad week. It's surprising. It's funny. It would alarm me if he switched back. Me too.

I don't think we need to have this much back and forth with your clubs in such an important club. I mean, he's always been on record saying that his favorite part is putting. He loves reading greens. He loves putting. He thinks it's like the most incredible thing that he does in golf, like, being able to reed greens and he loves the whole process of putting for him to like start just going back and forth with all these putters would make me think that like his whole mental uh aspect towards it is i don't think his putting like i didn't think his putting looked terrible i think he was just

misreading everything like his putt's it looks fine his pace i mean even like for the most part it looked good he just like he would have a six footer that he would play like outside the right edge and it just didn't move at all it wasn't like as soon as he hit it he was disgusted with the put. He could tell he didn't really have a great feel for the reads and all that. But then Tiger has been making perhaps even more headlines afterwards for the question that he was asked. He was asked about Trump. You know, he's played golf with Trump on numerous occasions. He's had a bunch of dinners with Trump. Trump is, of course, the president of the United States. Tiger Woods is like the most famous athlete in the history of athletes. So it's natural that the two of them would

know each other. Trump's very involved in the golf world. He owns a ton of courses. Everybody knows that because they've had a relationship for a long time. I guess so in watching the Golf Channel all day today, like I said, I guess it sounds like the guy that was asking these questions, he asked like, look, talk about your relationship with President Trump. And then he did a follow-up being like, you know, do you find that relationship to be problematic based on race relations going on with this presidency and immigration and all that? And Tiger was like, look, I just played 72 holes. I'm hungry or something like that, which is like a very good political answer. Good job by Tiger. But it's just, I guess it sounds like this guy is like a New York

Times journalist who since the tournament is, you know, just outside of New York, he was like working on some story. And so it made more sense for him to ask these questions or something like that. But the guy, he got kind of grilled about his trumping. He deflected beautifully. But a bunch of people we're talking about, so I figure we should probably talk about it. Well, here's exactly what Tiger said. He said, well, he's the president of the United States. He has to respect the office, no matter who is in the office. You may like or disliked personality or the politics, but we all must respect the office.

That's a non-answer, which is great. That's exactly what we want Tiger to do. And you're right, Riggs. It is making the most headlines. It was the top sports story today. And that's the fucked up thing about it, where this guy knows if he asked Tiger a question about Trump, regardless of the answer, Tiger can give the most non-answer of all time, and it will still grab headlines.

That's the thing that drives me nuts about this. That guy went in and he knew Tiger wasn't going to be like, well, I'm finally glad somebody asked me about this. I'm ready to talk about Trump. He knew that Tiger was going to be like, I'm just a golfer. I just played 70 holes. I don't want to talk about this. That's the thing that makes me the most mad is it's been getting the most headlines, and that's just – and Tiger just said – he said absolutely nothing.

I hate the reporter that asked the question. Yeah, it is – it is frustrating and getting as much play as it's getting because the guy doesn't deserve that kind of play, because it's not like he was able to suck Tiger into the debate that he wants to. wanted to have or something like that. Tiger, like you said, gave the most non-answer answer answer of all time. He expertly navigated his way around the whole thing. The Trumpster tweeted out. The fake news media worked hard to get Tiger Woods to say something he didn't want to say. Tiger wouldn't play the game. He is very smart. More importantly, he is playing great golf again, which is so funny. A pretty accurate tweet, to be honestly, about how the whole thing

went down. So this, of course, is making a bunch of headlines. I guess we don't have to harp on it too much, but because like you said, they didn't really get much out of Tiger. Good job by Tiger deflecting. Yeah, that was a very, I mean, Tiger's been obsessed with the Navy SEALs,

and he's always tried to do those trainings with them, and he's always wanted to be a SEAL, and that was like a very Navy SEAL-type answer of him. Like, you know, you just got to respect the office, and I'm just going to go out and, like, do my job. Like, it was very, Tiger knows how to answer those types of questions. Tiger is a professional in talking to the media.

Tiger is a professional in knowing how to sound and I mean his image has taken quite a hit throughout his life but that's not for not from answering questions incorrectly right but he has been through the ringer so I think he's very very knowledgeable on how to talk to the press at this point Tiger Woods has been the most famous athlete on the planet for 20 plus years you're not going to trip him up with a question about the controversial president like yeah and the most controversial question you can ask someone because Tiger was going to gain nothing from saying anything pro or negative about Trump he answered right in the middle is a non-answered

And that guy, I hope that guy, like, went to himself like, damn, the reporter, like, damn, I didn't get him. Can you imagine? Imagine a tiger would have just been like, make America great again, baby, let's do this. Right. Like, Trump's making America great, and I'm making golf great again. Get your fucking shirts at barstlesports.com, you motherfuckers, I'm out. And, like, just walked off. Right. Like, the world would legitimately explode if he said something like that.

He knows he wields that type of power, Tiger does. So he's just going to be like, yeah, respect the office. He's the president. we're going to refer to him as the president. Let's move on. And it still lights the world on fire, even though he said nothing. Imagine getting that question to as a golfer in the golf community.

I'm sure the golf community is very. I mean, there's a lot of money in the golf community. And you don't, that is, that's a loaded question when you ask a, the most, the most famous person like on Earth. You're asking him the most controversial question right now, like just anything about politics. Good on our guy, Tiger. I mean, he's the best. He's the best at everything. He's the best at everything.

Yeah. He's the best at everything. Tiger nailed it. Tiger nailed it. This is a great story. This Tyrell Hatton guy bought a putter at Golf Galaxy for $172. He putted like shit, I guess, on Saturday. He's all bummed out.

He's tweeting out that if he doesn't find something, he's going to miss the next leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs because he's not playing well enough. Goes to Golf Galaxy, he buys a putter. He spends like $172 total, getting the right grip on it, buying this new putter. shoots a Sunday 64. He's in Boston this next week.

Pretty good little story from this guy. It really just makes me think, like, equipment is important, but this guy, like, pro-golvers, they can just, he could take, like, you know, a rusty screwdriver and, you know, hit a 64. That's impressive. He spent that golf galaxy putter and shoots a 64.

Yeah, what do you think? What do you think Riggs' boy, Bryson thinks about this? Fucking Bryson's out there with his, he's got a lab coat on making his putter, and this guy's going to, this guy's going to fucking guise and this. This guy's going to fucking guise's, Golf Galaxy and Westbury Long Island.

I used to go to Gulf Galaxy on Long Island. Those people used to be like, oh, here comes Frankie again, a putt. I used to use their putting green, like, every single day and, like, never buy anything. I was like a little brat walking around that place, like, using all the most expensive Scotty Cameron's. And now this guy's freaking walking in, just buying a $170 putter. Bryson legitimately uses, like, gels and chemicals. He experimented with side saddle. He's got the side saddle.

Bryson's the worst. This guy's the best. this is the interesting shit I want. I want to see my guys just walking amongst the people. I want to watch a guy like walk into like the PGA store, PGA tour store and just like get a sleeve of balls and then like be on the first T 10 minutes later. If you want to talk about interesting and the common man,

that's what I want to see. I want more of this. So what? So what, Frank. You know, you hate every guy outdoor that doesn't walk into golf galaxy and buy a ball. No, it's just funny. It's just funny that we had this talk today about Bryson and that we have another guy that's like, you know,

just slumming it, just take them. Yeah, give me whatever club. I don't need. I don't need all my clubs to have names. I don't need to... Bryson, like, tucks his clubs to bed and shit, and he talks to them. It puts him in a crowd in a chamber. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Don't drag Bryson into this. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he does. This isn't about Bryson. Yeah, you made it about Bryson. Oh, yeah. You've made it about Bryson because he won the fucking golf tournament.

You made it about Bryson 45 minutes ago, and we just wanted to bring up. Tyrell Hatton's my guy. Love Hatton. It's a great story. It's a great move by this guy. I love it. We also should touch on real quick this John Daly's story. John Daly's at this event for this company.

They actually invited us to go to, I believe we also, they have like Joe La Cava is going to be one of their guests. They've had a couple different interview spots that have popped up recently. I'm trying to remember exactly what this company is called. I've got them right here because I want to give them credit because this is Thusio. Thusio, Thusio? I don't know exactly what that is. But anyways, they've been doing like these conferences where they have guys like John Daly, like Cholacava.

They've been doing these interviews. And anyways, John Daly has asked, I can't remember exactly who he's asked, but he delivers this story about Tiger. Let's put this story in real quick. So I look at Tiger. I said, well, first of all, the story was he walks out, out, he's walking out of Larker.

Tiger, come have a drink with us. He's in his slacks. He goes, no, I'm going to hit a few balls. Three hours later, he comes. comes back. He's in his gym shorts. He said, what the hell are you doing now? Come have a drink with us. Well, I'm going to go work out. I said, come to have a drinker with us. Seriously,

you've been out here for nine hours. I've been drinking for nine. At least at one with us. So he goes, no, daily, if I had your talent, I'd be doing just what you're doing. And we got paired the next day. Kicked his ass. About the only time I ever kicked his ass, but I did. I shot 65 on him.

He goes, you know what? I may have to start drinking. phenomenal story from John Daly trying to get Tiger in his prime to, like, get a drink after a round of golf. I obviously, I mean, I understand it. It's Tiger Woods. He's not just going out drinking randomly with, like, John Daly after a round of golf in the middle of the golf tournament and all that. But also, if fucking John Daly asks you to get a drink, like, I think you got to get a drink with John Daly. Tiger Woods did it in the right way because he ends it, he's essentially complimenting John Daly. Because he's like, well, you know, why John's like, Tiger, why aren't you drinking?

and he's like, well, if I had the talent that you had, I wouldn't have to do it. So it's a good way to get out of a drink with John Daly's probably to compliment him as you're walking out the door. But again, a hell of a story, and I agree with you, Riggs. If John Daly's asking me to grab a drink, I'm grabbing a goddamn drink. I have a couple questions off this. Probably, and they're related, but not directly related to this. Number one, do you think Tiger Woods has ever drank in Arnold Palmer? Yes.

Okay. Yeah. Number two, we had this question on radio today, and I didn't even think it was close, but KFC seemed to be on the opposite side of me. Who do you think drinks, who do you think could drink more in a given night, John Daly or Charles Barkley? Daly. That would be my answer. I would say Charles Barkley. Yeah, see, that was pretty, I mean, we all were talking about today.

I mean, Daly is a fucking drinker, man. But people forget that Charles Barkley, with our guy Tiger, too, he's had his knights out and he knows how to put them down. I agree with you, but I think Barclay has always been known as, like, a big gambler, right? Oh, yeah. He just goes out. I think Daly has the gambling thing as well, but there are like many, many stories about him, like, just drinking bottles of Jack Daniels and just like drinking three bottles a day. Like I get that Charles Barkley's a partyer. That's going to happen when you go out like he does, but I think Daley could just put down bottles.

Yeah. I would side with Daly. What a guy Daly is. I mean, he's just, he's like the most lovable dude of all time, aside from Tiger. He is. My thinking on it is that they're like Charles Barclay. is just way bigger than John Dayley. Well, in his own way.

Daly's got a... Daly's pretty big. No, don't get me wrong. But John Daly, he's like 5-11 in, like, John Daly's body. Obviously, he's not small, but he's not, like, this massive body naturally. He's, like, got a gut and all that, where it's like, Charles Barclay is a giant fucking human being that can just, like... I feel like he could just house beers all. made and it wouldn't really affect him because he's so big.

Whereas John Daly does build up the power, and so I think he just drinks all the time. So, I mean, I think it's close, but the end of the day, I've got to give the edge of Charles Markley because he's just a gigantic human big. It's a powerhouse couple, and I'm sure they've been out together. I think they have been for sure. Oh, man, that tab.

My only counter to that would be, I think at some point drinking experience comes into play, and I think Daly has a lot more miles on him than just about anybody on planet earth. Yeah, he definitely has some miles. No doubt about that. The Hon. Apommer question, I don't know why, but when you were talking about just like Tiger drinking, I always just like wondered, would it be weird just seeing him drink like another golfers and like the name?

Just like he's Tiger Woods and he's drinking. Like, right? Isn't that just weird? I've never, I haven't really thought about it. But he's probably, he's probably drank one in honor. Maybe he's like a regular. It's like seeing the owner of Coke drinking a Pepsi. It's just weird.

No. No, because Tiger doesn't have his own drink. You're right. I know. I don't know. It's just, I don't know, yeah. You're going to slap an Arnold Palmer out of Tiger's hand if you see it? Well, no, I'd slap a Jack.

If Jack had a drink, I'd slap it out of his hand. I suppose that's a good thing. Yeah, that would be weirder because they're like direct competitors. Yeah, yeah. Arnie or like that. And he likes Arnie, too, yeah. That's a whole, I've got to find a slant. Next one, I got a comment on Nick Paldow putting on his glasses upside down.

I don't know if you guys saw this video, but with him. interviewing Bryce and Deschambo afterwards. Unbelievable clip from Nick. I actually didn't see this clip yet. You got to watch it. I got to watch it. I'm just laughing. I blogged it today.

He's got to. Dude, he's like, he's sneaky the viral golf king. Remember when he dropped Imagine Dragons at the Masters? People went bananas for that. And now he's putting on these glasses. He really just, he's like a senile old dad when he puts those glasses on. Hold on. I'm so excited for Frank

to see that for the first time. I mean, I'm telling you, he's not even close. And then he just gives up. He doesn't even turn him around. He just gives up. Oh, that was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. I mean, there's a good, like, three or four seconds

where he leaves him on, and he's just, like, looking through the glasses upside down, and he's like, oh, shit, I can't fix this. This isn't right. And he just puts him down and gives up, and then he's just blind for the rest of the interview. He definitely put him on his like something's not right, but I don't know what it is. Hopefully if I don't move, no one will notice what's on my face. Shit, shit, this camera's.

A little bit of like yikes, like face right out there. Oh, shit, but man, he just wasn't even close. That's a screen shot of him with his fucking glasses upside down. Dude, when he's sitting there and he's just looking at Bryson and his glasses are upside down for those couple seconds, how does Bryson, this makes me think he's even more of a robot, How does Bryson not just, like, explode laughing? Don't you turn this on.

Just looking at this guy. I mean, he was just... Bryson would probably like got to give me some of those glasses. It'll look like special golf glasses. Yeah, what are you able to read the greens better with those upside-down reading glasses? Talk me about those glasses, follow-me about those glasses, follow-the-thes. Okay, sorry, he's always trying to get better and trying to catch an advantage. Bryson's just way too much in the news.

Outside-down glasses. If there are upside-down green-reading glasses that he should get. Bryson just happened to be sitting there and then we had to bring him up. But that followed-up thing is, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for his next fuck-up. Oh, it was one of the best things I've ever seen. One of the best. All right.

This is from Mason, who sent me an email about Adam Scott. Basically, he's just like, can't figure out if he likes Adam Scott or if other people like Adam Scott. We used to do player feelings when we first started the show. We went through a bunch of guys and said if we like him or not, since we've been talking so much about Bryson and if we like him, I thought this would be a good thing to bring up because when Adam Scott was charging at the PGA, I saw a bunch of tweets and even people I was hanging out with that were like, yeah, Adam Scott sucks.

I don't like Adam Scott, which I'd never really heard that before. What are your guys' thoughts on Adam Scott? Yeah, he irks me. I don't have like one particular feeling about him. I like him in the sense that he's like a good dude, like all we've seen about him, and especially with his like the guy who passed away a couple weeks ago and he was from Australia, right? Oh yeah, Jerry Lyle. Yeah, so he was like really good in all the interviews I saw with him.

He was really, you know, passionate. And I've always liked him in that aspect, but the putter always throws me off. Yeah. I think that's an asshole move to just be the only one out there, you know, a big name, just like everyone else doesn't do it. You're the only one, like you don't have it figured out, dude, just like putt, like everyone else. And I also don't like that he has Tiger's old caddy. That just throws me off every time I see it. He doesn't anymore.

He does not anymore. Oh, when did I? Oh, I've just been off on that then. No, I think Steve Williams, like, retired a year ago or something like that. Oh. And he actually ended up caddy in, like, one round for our girl, Danielle Kang. But anyways, I didn't like that either when he stole and he got in the way of, like, Stevie and Tiger's relationship.

Didn't like that at all. So I think it's a good point, actually. I think you bring – The putting thing is – You know, I think he was being a little lenient there because I was kind of way off because, I mean, Adam Scott's just not had that caddy for a whole year and I haven't noticed it. But, you know, the point was there. I just haven't been paying – that.

That just shows, like, I don't have one. opinion one way or another by Adam Scott because I just don't watch him that much. Yeah, the putting thing drives me a little nuts. Every time I see that, I get mad. But when I look at Adam Scott, he's got a great swing, and I look at him and I'm like, that's a golfer. That's a professional golfer. When I think of like a prototype professional golfer, I picture Adam Scott in my head.

And I'm not sure why. But I just like the way he plays and the way he looks. And I'm a fan. Yeah, I mean, Adam Scott, it is. It's amazing. People are, like, pissed about his putter. Like I've seen that people like hate him because of the way that he putt. Like I've seen that a lot of different places.

Tweet. It's just hard to watch. People are like mad about the way that he put. It's unsat. It's not satisfying. It's like watching him. It's like watching a car wreck. Like I don't like seeing his hands all the way up there.

And I don't like, I don't like watching it. It doesn't like, it doesn't please me. No, yeah. I look at it. I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah. What do you got going on? You're trying to pull one over when everybody's out here trying to put and you think you figure out some better way.

and you're just, it's not, I clearly don't pay too much attention to Adam Scott, but when I, like, when I'm walking past the TV during a tournament and they finally put him on the screen, I always, like, stop and look at him, like, look at this asshole.

Like, why are you putting like that? But then I just walk on, I don't, like, carry on the hate like I do for Bryce. You don't tweet about it. It's not as a mean that much to you. No, Adam Scott doesn't mean anything to me. I think that's actually a mean thing to say.

Yeah, that's the... I will say he had a fire, like pinkish, tidalist rope hat on one day this week. I saw. That was just, oh, my God. It was the hottest thing I've ever seen. I texted everybody I knew a title of it.

Was like, I have to get one of these hats. This is the best hat I've ever seen. He's a good-looking dude, too. Yeah, oh, yeah, he's hot. He's got that great accent. I looked up his height. I thought he was taller than he. I pictured him as a very tall individual.

He's only six feet tall. So that kind of knocks him down a little bit of my book because I picture him as being like 6-2, 6-3. But I still, I guess I may be a little too far when I said I'm a fan of Adam Scott. But I don't mind him unless he's putting. Plus, for some reason, I don't know what this means about me, but when I hear Adam Scott, I think of that actor. Really? The guy from fucking.

That's really interesting because they have, like, those two famous people with the same name. Yeah. And it would be very interesting to ask people, like, out in the world and on the street, like, when you hear Adam Scott, do you think of golf at him Scott or what was you? Yeah, the stepbrothers brother. Yes. I don't immediately think of the other guy, but he's in the back of my head. I do think of the golfer first, obviously, like, he's a bigger name. But I do think, like, that other guy's face just pops up every other guy.

time I hear Adam Scott. Every time. It's very interesting. I think I think of the golfer, too, but it's a close second. Yeah, I would say I'm pretty neutral on Adam Scott. I like him. It seems like a really good dude. Like Trent said, he's kind of a consummate professional.

I feel like in golf, he kind of goes about his business. He's got this beautiful, like, mechanically flawless golf swing. He doesn't ruffle really any feathers, so I don't know how you dislike him. But again, he's not overly exciting. So that's kind of how I feel about Adam Scott. But I'm a little surprised that there seems to be some Adam Scott hate lurking around out there, which I didn't really know about. It's got to be the putter.

Yeah, I think it's the putter. I think you're right. Next one, Joe, Joe asked, is the whole and one on a part three course legitimate? I think this is really relevant because we see this all time, and there's somebody on Twitter who had a couple hundred thousand

followers. I don't really know who it was, but this picture, he tweeted out the picture, they got a hole and one on a 55-yard hole, par three, on a part-three on a part-three course, and people were like, is this count? Is this legitimate? Look, I think if you

get a hole in one on like a 170 yard par three on a par three course that counts and you should say that uh i think if you get a home one on like a 55 yard part three on a part three course i don't i don't know how you handle it going forward i would probably just tell people like uh no i don't really have one but i did i did hole out from like i don't i don't really know how i would handle i don't think it counts like i don't think it just counts if it's like a gun to your head do you have a whole one or do you not have a one one one i don't know if it no i i don't think i don't i actually would go as far as saying i don't think anything on a par three course counts as a whole and one it's an arcade version of golf it's not real golf what's the difference then between me being at a driving range and me

hitting like a hundred yards shot and it like goes into the hole out there on like the you know where they have the pins of the driving range like there's really just i'm not like golfing like i'm not i don't have my driver i don't even have a bag i just have a couple clubs and a putter i'm taking my kids let me ask you let me ask you this frankly let me go down to play a guy a guy you go down to play a Gus and National. You play the main course. You have a great time. And then in the afternoon, you go out, you play the part three course. You get a hole in one on the part three course. Do you tell people you got a hole in one? You say you got a hole in one on the part three course, but it doesn't count as a whole and one. I don't know how to, I have not, I'm not, my brain isn't working

right now. I think you're counting it. That's what I think. I think my brain, I mean, when you say, Gus, my brain's not working in a way where I can't think of, like, how I would phrase it because it's not, it doesn't count towards my, like, lifetime hole in ones it can't how how could that count how could that second round count when you play you just played a gustin national and then the next day you play the part three course

how could like the second experience even compare to your first day how I would love to hear your answer after you got that hole in one on the part three course and somebody asked you a couple weeks later well break you ever got the hole in one are you gonna fucking not you're not

you're not gonna get the one fucking place on earth that's like the most that's the most famous part three course of all time. Well, we're picking and choosing part three courses now. Well, I'm picturing oh, fuck, where did I play the bridges? I'm picturing the bridges in Florida

when I went there and I thought that I was playing a really nice golf course in Florida for all those that don't remember. I showed up and I thought that I was on the driving range and it ended up being the third hole. That's how fucking short this place was. For all I know, I hit a hole in one there. I hit like 85 balls onto that green. For all I know,

I hit a hole in one before. So am I going to start saying, I hit a hole in one? No. Let me say this about hole in ones. Because we get this question a lot. We got a lot of people sending us in like, is this a whole one? Is that a whole one one?

It's been a running theme on the show. If you, it's almost like if you're asking the question, then you won't almost already know the answer. Like this motherfucker who sent in a 55-yard hole-in-one. Yes. He's sending that knowing that it doesn't count, but he just wants people to be like, yeah, it kind of counts.

If you are asking the question, you already know the answer. Right. A hole in one's a hole-in-one. Yes. That's it. Yeah, I think it goes to the same thing Whenever they talk about, like, legally When they try to define pornography,

They're like, you just know it when you see it Same deal with the whole one, right? You fucking know it when you see it. What about the picture you got on Twitter Of that fucking, like, huge hole? And you're like, and the guy goes, Hey, if this went in, do I count it? And you're like, you better, you're like better pray

That that didn't go in. Like, that was insane. So I've seen those before. A lot of times they do them in like Monday outings and stuff. just for fun and shits and giggles. Oh, that was like they're on purpose? Holy shit. Yeah, I think they put like a gigantic golf hole

that's like four times the sides of a normal golf hole on the green. And it's just like for fun, whatnot. And I'll never forget it because one time at Granite Links, I was up there with my buddy. We had a great match and we had played. They've been like an outing earlier in the day

from like 10 to 3 or something. So we played like a Twilight round of golf. And the seventh hole on the middle. don't mind for everybody that knows Granite Links out there is like this 280-yard reachable par four. And we're having a very intense match at this point. And my one buddy drives the green, hits it to like 15 feet. We're like, hell yet. The other two guys on the other opposing team, they hit one up like near and around the green.

Then they chip up. And they hit chips to like within 10 feet or something pretty good. My buddy's like 15 feet away for Eagle. We get up there in the hole is like the size of a basketball. bigger than that and he just drains this put put no problem for eagle and wins the hole and they were so fucking rattled they're like are you fucking kidding me you're going to win the hole with that thing and you should have seen when my buddy is my buddy jet when my buddy drained this pot from like 15 feet into this gigantic hole into the ground like it was the easiest putt of all time

puts his putter in the air they heard so fucking that's amazing yeah I mean that would piss me off Imagine hitting just a pure shot, like 165 yards. It goes right. It looks like it's going right in the middle of the hole and it fucking drains. You go crazy and then you walk up there and it's a fucking triple the size hole. I'd kill someone. Yeah. You can't have that on a part three.

If you're going to put one of those holes on a golf course, you cannot do it on a part three because you're running the risk of like, right. Like how would you know did it go in because the hole is way bigger or would it have gone into a normal hole? Oh. You never know the answer to that. That would drive crazy. Yeah. Next one, we got Graham, who says very simply that they need to bring the big break back on Golf Channel. I could not possibly agree more.

A lot of the stuff, I know Golf Channel is listening out there. We have a good relationship with Golf Channel. We are on Golf Channel, myself and Trent Daddy with our boy Matt Janelle. The fact that some of these garbage TV shows that I see on their channel at night when I'm trying to watch golf are on and the Big Break is not on. Do you guys remember the Big Break? I do remember the Big Break. Wait, this is like. It was like Survivor of golf, right?

Yeah. Oh, fuck. I used to watch the shit out of that, man. I wouldn't have been able to tell you what the name was, but I loved that show. They had like... Remember the glass? They had the glass. You had to break the glass, and they had challenges.

And then, like, there was drama towards the end. Like, guys needed to shoot certain scores to stay. And, like, they... Oh, man. Watching them, like, leave. It was like The Bachelor. It was like The Bachelor. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, they'd miss like a six-foot putt and they're just off the show. Yeah, they show them just walking off the green. Ever. It was so good. The big break, they got to, like, once it got later, they had more legitimate where they'd play like nine holes against each other and then they'd be over breakfast, like choosing who they wanted to play against. There'd be all kinds of drama behind the scenes.

Like, this guy's an asshole on the house. Oh, the house. So everybody's rooting for that guy to lose so he gets knocked off. And that guy, like, holds a chip to stay on. The other people were devastated. The Big Break was one of the greatest shows of all the time. And then the winner, the winner got to, like, he got, like, a membership on, like, a tour. And he got, like, sponsorship from Adams Golf or something like that was what the guy always wanted.

And it was huge. It was like, and they would get, like, a rental car deal. Remember that? Yeah. Dude, the Big Break changed people's lives. Oh, the Big Break was one of the best shows ever. If they don't bring it back, they don't bring it back, like, we have to do it. Right.

That's what I was thinking. We should just do it. I agree. I think you're right. We are like a media company and we could just like do this ourselves. I mean, that was the best show ever. One of the best shows of all time. Last one, we're kind of running long here.

It's been a long show. We had a lot to talk about. Last one, we got Johnny who just told a quick tale. Everybody's getting ready for fancy football. It's fantasy football season. I got two drafts coming up in the next week. He said the loser of their fantasy football league has to caddy for the winner at their annual golf tournament that they do with all their buddies,

said this year, the crew decided the last place winner. He was on the bag for the champion. When ordered, he must go get that, which is, of course, the speed greller. He must rake bunkers. He must wear a caddy bib with the champion's name. And most importantly, he must always have an iced-down transfusion at the ready to keep the champion cool at all time. Oh, man, I love this.

I'm the commissioner of my fantasy league, not to brag, right? It's not really a brag, but all right. I'm just kidding. I can't take it anymore. That's a stressful job. It's so stressful, especially now with this new job. I used to really take it seriously when I was working at Borelli's and I had more time. You want to hear, oh, man, I was so freaking, I was so bad.

I had the fantasy draft that Borelli's like three years ago, so right before I started Barcelona. And I had all my buddies come in, and in the back of Borelli's, I turned all the lights off. and I had a huge U-shape, right, of all tables and a huge board that I customized and I had everyone's face and their nickname on their pick and I turned all the lights off and I put a candle in front of everyone's seat

and I had them all walk in one by one like we were in some fucking like... That sounds like the skulls. Yeah, yeah. It was so intense and I was like playing music and they're all walking in like let's fucking go. Like the lights are off. You sound like an awesome commission.

The lights are off and shit. And now the difference is, though now that I'm working in Barcelona we're doing this like like we were supposed to have our draft tonight and I had to cancel yeah your priorities are a little different I had to text them last night like hey boys like I got to do shit tomorrow I'm sorry like I just can't do the whole thing with the lights and the candles like that's heartbreaking so we're going to try and do it on Wednesday night but fuck man I used to really go all in so to see this story we always try and pick like what the loser's going to do and this year we picked that my friend was going to do stand-up comedy

and I used my connection Francis to actually get him on a fucking show in Manhattan. Oh my God, what a nightmare. It was a nightmare. He didn't tell one joke. 60 people were just staring at him. I was looking down at my feet the whole time just praying. It was over.

He went up there and he was just like telling stories. What did you do, five minutes or something? Five full minutes. And he went in between professional comedians. Like some of the funniest people, some of the funniest people I've ever seen in comedy. They were making me cry laughing. And then this kid Brian just went up there, wasted out of his mind. And he's like, you know what I hate?

I hate getting drug tested at work because you got to pee in the bottle. And we were like, stop talking. Stop! I wasn't even there, but just hearing the story makes me want to run out of the studio. You know how long five minutes? Long time. So to see this... I know, I know.

I wish that me and my friends don't do a tournament. I know you do regs. I know you do a big rider cup, but we don't do like a tournament, which we should. And this would be such a good thing for the loser because you're... Not only are you like the guy's bitch for the day, but you miss out on playing with your friends in a big tournament. Right. I think that's the biggest thing.

Like, you're watching all your friends just have fun. I think the meanest... It's a yearly tournament and you're just not playing. I think the meanest thing is that you, it looks like you have to call the guy all day. That would drive me fucking crazy. That's tough. Especially you don't like the guy, imagine.

Oh, man. That's a good one. I like this. That'd be a bummer. And there's always a couple buddies in fantasy football that you're like not that close with. So imagine having to call one of those fucking guys champ all that is. Brutal.

Gross. Oh, brutal. All right. got a big show coming up Thursday as well so everybody stick with us. The last thing we have to do on this week's show gentlemen. The skulls is making me laugh. I'm sorry. We have to talk about Jared Carabas.

Oh my fucking God! Who calls himself the song? What is it? Is anyone listening to their podcast from this one? Have we got any data yet? Is there like, what do you call those when you put in the code and it like, what do you call it? Populates? No.

What's a word you look at? I don't know. I'm just frustrated. Populates. What the fuck am I talking about? I got to get out of this goddamn studio. Conversions. That's the word I'm looking for. Man, I was off.
