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. I don't know that we've ever done one like this before. The Masters has been postponed. The Players' Championship canceled after one round. The next three events in the PGA tour canceled until at least after the Masters tournament. No one will play golf on a professional PGA tour level. We got all that to get to.

We're going to break down the entire thing. I don't know how long we will go. I would like to begin with there'll be no advertisements in this show. No. This is just an emergency. It's free show. You're welcome. It's Friday.

We're in the office. We're working. This microphone in front of my face might have crone all over it. Yeah. It's possible. It could be anywhere. Yeah. We're just here.

So if we get it, we get it. I know that's kind of a bad way to look at it, but that's kind of the situation that we're in. I'm 90% convinced that at some point I'll get it. We work in a very large office now. Barstall Sports is an actual company at this point. We have many employees. And every day that we come in, chances certainly go up that somebody has it.

So I've also come around to your way of thinking rigs where I'm probably just going to get it. If your whole life was, you could see like a replay of it over the last two or three weeks and it was all in black and white except the coronavirus was in like green, line green. How close do you think you've come to the coronavirus? Really close. Like many times. Yeah. Like, oh, if you would have touched the top half of that handle, you would have had it. If you could see germs, I think we'd all, like, kill ourselves.

I don't know if we'd be able to live. I didn't be able to live. We'd all be living like Howie Mandel. It wouldn't be, no, if you could see germs, you wouldn't go outside. Yeah, that's right. Some people do, and they become germophobes. Right. What's the Leo movie?

The Aviator? Oh, yes. He becomes like a lunatic in that. Yeah. You know, I actually hadn't seen that for a while, and I actually watched that probably a couple months ago. Really good. Very good.

Crazy. It's insane not to watch a Leo blockbuster. He's the best. The best. Well, Tom Hanks, shout out to him, coronavirus. Yeah, good reference. Since we're not going to do any ads, I would like to shout out the Foreplay YouTube channel.

We're going to be uploading soon. Some videos that we were going to sit on a little bit, especially the Kisner 18-hole video. It's pretty much done. We were going to wait until Austin, the match play week, when he's the defending champ, he'll be in the headlines. It just made a lot of sense.

But since you folks have no content really to consume on the golf front because everything's canceled, the master's term, postponed. We're going to put out the Kisner video, very soon so go to the our YouTube go to YouTube in general which is a video you can upload your own videos that's what we do and type in for play golf and subscribe to our channel we're going to put that video it's like an hour and a half it's us playing golf with kisner it's awesome and scott brown brownie he's great and then store it out barcelports.com follow the links to for play and

golf we got hoodies we got quartersips um we got all kinds of good stuff on there might have to get now some like burnt orange you know masters isish things themed gear in there. You know what that is? That's good thinking because they have locked down on that color scheme and how all that works. They didn't, nobody saw this coming obviously.

Halloween Augusta stuff. Yeah. Are you kidding me? You know? Masters with like a pumpkin in the middle instead of. Azaleas? Orange azaleas. Yeah.

All right. We'll think about that. That's a good idea. I would like to be, before we get and dive very deep into the masters and all that, I'd like to give a shout out. I got this message. The Ohio Dominican University girls golf team are big fans of the show.

Today they're playing a practice round of Pioneerces from yesterday and starting a tournament. Friday, their entire season was canceled while they're making the turn today. Uncle R.I. I believe, R.Y. said his niece Bailey. She's a senior, huge stillier college career ended today just like that. Any shout out to her or the team on the next show would mean the world to them and to her. Thanks for anything you guys can do and everything that you guys do from her very proud uncle rye look shout out to bailey and shout out to everyone i mean all from golf of course we do

golf but imagine you're uh you're a senior you know you've been working for uh nearly four entire years you've got your your senior spring um your conference tournaments your national tournaments nc aas whatever it is that your goal is that you strive for you want to have that senior moment with your parents when they come to your your senior day and your final round and get the pictures with the flowers and go out on a high note and you've been working your ass off for it and it's just gone it's just canceled you're never going to have that awful stuff so big shout out to all of those folks out there it's a horrible thing coronavirus is taking a lot of different things and it's it's awful on a lot of different levels but in our you know

in our world doing the golf show a lot of people probably don't think about that awful stuff so shout out to all you people out there hope you're able to find some way to kind of put a bow on your season your career whatever it is but shout out to them shout out to the ohio dominican university girls golf team thank you for the support All right, master's been postponed. Really, if you go back, I don't know, 70 hours, 80 hours, this would be unthinkable. Unthinkable. Which that is, you know, three days ago, something like that, two and a half days ago, unthinkable that we would be at this stage.

People are making jokes about like, what are they going to cancel the masters? Obviously not. And they haven't canceled it. They postponed it. There's a lot of rumors about when it's going to be. We were just talking about fall. I'm hearing October 15th to 18th. It would be right in the middle of October.

I got a message from a source that said, I work the Masters every year, about 85% chance that October Masters is going to happen. They're trying to work out details with CBS because CBS has a 3.30 p.m. College football game of the week, most Saturdays. There is a Saturday a year, once a year, I believe they have an 8 p.m. night game.

So if they're going to obviously have to shuffle and figure out all those things with C. BBS with broadcasting, but it feels like the right. So the Ryder Cup is scheduled to be September 25th through the 27th. So you figure like the best players in the world are going to be gearing up for that. You know, you're going to have the 24, the best players in the world. And then if you give them a couple weeks and then the Masters tournament, two or three weeks, that's a pretty reasonable thing to do.

What would be weird of is if it's like mid-November and they're playing no golf. And then all of a sudden it's just the Masters. So scheduling, who knows how it's really? really going to fall. Let's go backwards and start with the whole lineage of how this happened was two days ago, in the whole entire world, especially the sports world, the Domino's began to fall. It's the NBA, really? NBA, big time. As soon as Rudy Gobert, the jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Gobert touched on all the mics, and then immediately saying that we're suspending our season, as soon as that happens, then all that, like you just said, all the dominoes,

are going to start to fall. As soon as one league, one governing body of a professional sports, as we are putting public health over the almighty dollar, then it causes a domino effect. Everyone else has to make the decision of, are we going to think about public health, or are we going to think about the dollar? And as we have seen since then, everyone is following suit. NBA, NCAA, NCA, MLB, NHL, the players championship, but you know we're going to get to the masters now. You just really have no choice because otherwise you get stuck in a situation where people are like, well, then why are they doing it if no one else is doing it? Then you start to look like an asshole and you don't do that anymore.

So you decide we're going to cancel our thing. The players is funny because they were like, no, we're just going to do it. The players was like, we're going to keep going. And then they're like, no, no, we're not going to have any fans. And then people were like, but everybody else is canceling. And so they played the first round. They're like, ah, we're just going to cancel. Yeah, the players and the PGA tour were doing a big time.

Like, we're not fucking leave and move in the middle of every domino was falling. This was Wednesday night. The Big East tried to do that too. Yeah, right. And it's just very clear that like, no, all of the other walls are crumbling. You're the last one that's like teetering there and we know you're coming down. So what's the point in trying to stand? And it was the NBA. It was the announcement that there's going to be no fans at March Madness. It was Tom Hanks and Rita have fucking coronavirus. It was then, oh, the NBA is suspending the rest of the season. Then the next, like, then things just kept happening Wednesday night. And it was like, wait, the players are supposed to start like 12 hours. What are you guys going to do? And they were just like, oh, no, nothing. And they didn't even stop fans. No. Everyone's going like, what are you doing? and I get that the PGA Tours hit a tough spot. This is their crown jewel. This is like they have been fighting for decades to try to get people to call it a major championship.

This is like the thing. He said, he said this is our Super Bowl. As he was announcing that we are canceling it, he's like, this is our Super Bowl. That's why this is such a hard decision. But like you're saying, all the other walls were crumbling down, so you have no other choice, really. And look, the PGA tour, they have, you know, 40 or whatever it is,

events. They have a ton of different events. So they're not as reliant on one event as some of it. But I know like the USGA, for example, Like 90% of their revenue every year comes from the U.S. Open. So I don't know what that translates to for the PGA Tour, but it's a huge part of what they do. So when you are a business, you've got tons of employees, you've got to pay salaries, you've got all the grandstands have been put up. You've put all this money into logistics, all these people who full-time jobs are to plan this event for years in the making.

And then the night before you're going to just cancel it. Like that's a major decision. So I get all golf Twitter is roasting them and people love to pile on the PGA tour. on this show before, it's a brutal decision to have to make to cancel with basically no time to make a decision. Like six hours or whatever it is is no time to make it. That's nothing. Like that is nothing to sit down and be like, we're going to cancel our entire, our biggest,

our crowned you, our Super Bowl. They kind of blew it. You've been saying all that. Like they let them play for one day with all fans. I believe it was CT Pan who pulled out with Drew beforehand and was like, nope, I'm not going to do that. Lee Westwood came out and tweeted out considering the approach of other sports in the U.S.

to the coronavirus. I'm surprised how little PGA tour are doing. I know we don't play in such a confined area, but surely our age range of fans, aka old people, are more susceptible European tour of postponed events in August already. So a nice little plug for the Euro tour. I don't blame him for that.

Shout out to Hideki Matsuyama. Went out fire to 63. That just doesn't matter. They should just give it to him. What happens is at that? Does that get recorded in his? yearly stats like he shot of 63 i don't know no i bet it i bet it just gets wiped from the record book it's like it never happened mm-hmm that's brutal but yeah it was um their response and everything was

eventually they got there and they just canceled everything um and you know and we talked about all the complications and this and that but it is just not worth it you put on a whole tournament and and you become the only sport in the country that's like letting people congregate when we're talking social distance everywhere and then you know one person in in that tournament has corona spreads it to 10 people. It's old people that are generally down there more so than in other demographics and you have a cult deaths and you have literally the worst, not only is it just morally a bad thing, but you have the worst PR nightmare in the world on your hands. That's what this all is. Yeah. The domino effect. It's PR. It's not wanting to get sued because

like I was talking a couple of NHL guys and they're like, we just don't understand why now like we have to be. So like NHL NBA guys, they have to like be self quarantine now for 14 days. Like why is that happening within that league but then like I'm allowed to come to work and like people are allowed to go to restaurants and all these things like at some point we should just all just shut down just for two weeks and just beat it like what we're doing right now seems like a slow death like everyone's just weaning off of things and like no one's going to go outside grocery stores are getting fucking empty and it's like what's the point of doing it this this way it doesn't make any sense but the problem is what's very curious is like who at the end of the day is in charge

of all of this, what we're saying. Well, so we're recording this right now at 12 o'clock. I'm assuming this will come out with, like, pretty soon. But, like, I just got an update that, like, Trump will make a decision at 3 o'clock if they're going to put the whole country in a state of emergency. So, like, that's, like, the final. Right. That's who's in charge.

And, like, what you get to it, right, is like, okay, Jay Monaghan is in charge of the players championship and the PJ. And then you've got Fred Lidley, who's, like, in charge of the Masters tournament. But those people, like, they can't decide that all, of us as a society are just going to like hunker down for two weeks and beat it. So some level it's like who decides that and like we're not a political show but like does that go to like the CDC, the federal government, is that Trump's call? Like who eventually tells us like no, because if if we here at Barstow with like Trent, Frankie, myself, Lurch, like we're like, okay, we're

going to shut down for two weeks. Well then when we reemerge in two weeks like the virus is just still going to be there. Right. Right. It has to be a wide like a unified front in terms of a decision. And I guess right now you're talking about Ridley, you're talking about Monaghan. I guess it's like Cuomo and de Blasio for us in New York. So they have to decide. And Cuomo has come out and said, no groups over 500 and things like that. So I don't know. I don't know people are looking for what Frankie is saying.

Everybody they're trying to say, everybody stay home. But like Riggs is saying, who is that person? Is it Trump? It might be. But I don't know who it is right now. It just seems like some people are doing, like, I don't know. The domino effect was all PR. but like at some point if you're all going to do it like just completely shut it down i don't

understand like i was so i was like talking to one of the guys and they're like all right so i have to be in my house for 14 days but like what if you came over and like had a drink like is that mean like now we're all infected like what are we literally locking ourselves in our houses is that what's going on is that the solution like and if you're not doing it then why am i doing it because then someone on my block is going to get it and like you know what i mean it's always never going to stop it's never going to end has to be complete or nothing yeah so that's why it's why it's like it's got to be so fucking stressful for like the u.s open to have to make a decision and like all these these like the players championship and the masters because they're like it's never going to go

away like we're just doing this because we're forced to it has nothing to do with i genuinely don't think it has anything to do with the health of people in two or three months like i think they think it's just going to it's just going to be what it is like you know what i mean it's just going to exist the coronavirus is just going to exist but will it not but then you know i keep hearing um well by that that's time if we do it this way the health care system can catch up which i don't know what that means doctor i need like ventilators and respirators and all this stuff to like catch up and that if you have hospitals overrun with uh folks that are unhealthy from the corona than people that have um other normal

health issues which those other health issues you don't just like stop no right like other if you get um hit by car yeah if you get like trauma or you have like something internally you have an appendix or um yeah your appendix burst or you have you get diagnosed with a disease like they're not like don't just stop. Yeah, they're not like, oh, Corona's taken over. We're going to take a couple of days off. We're going to chill for a couple months. It just keeps going.

Correct. So, like, that's sort of the understanding of like, no, we have to get ahead of it. But I don't know enough about that. So that's why I'm saying we need someone to tell us. Like, just do that. And I don't, it becomes like, how much do you trust the people that are out there, like, telling you? It's like, uh, I don't know. And as you get deeper and deeper and deeper down that rabbit hole, you realize that, like, oh, yeah, we probably don't need to have March Madness or we don't need to have a master's.

Like these are the surface level things that are that are luxuries that are now just getting canceled because nobody knows what to do. Right. Eventually it hits like it, you know, like terminal velocity is when you can like something reaches such a speed. It can like leave the atmosphere. At some point like this whole hysteria and all that reaches a point of terminal velocity where it's like, oh, you know what? You're right. All that other stuff that I'm upset about. No, this is this is going to kill millions of people.

Right. If we don't stop it, then, you know, we'll never get a hold of it. and it'll destroy our entire system. So let's just fucking hunker down for X period of time. What I don't get is like, what is that X period of time? Two weeks doesn't seem like enough. Like two weeks ago, I feel like we were, we were like two weeks ago, I didn't even really know what coronavirus was.

Yeah, two weeks ago is like, oh, is this thing that no one was really taking that seriously, at least people that I interacted with. It's, yeah, and that's the thing is it's so fluid, the situation where things change literally hour to hour. Hour to hour, things are different than they were, so much different than they were. just 60 minutes. Wednesday night was the craziest night on the internet. Yes.

All of our sports were just taken away. Yes. Yeah. It's just outrageous. At 8.30 p.m. on Wednesday, things were the same. Yes. And then by 9.30, they were not the same. Right.

They were quite different. Trump was speaking at like 9 o'clock p.m. on Wednesday night. And like right before that 8.58, it was like kind of been like, all right, Rudy Gaubert has it. People walking off the basketball courts. Guys on the jazz are freaking out. And then all of a sudden Trump's like, everything's going to shit. We need to, no one's coming in from Europe.

This is nuts. Then the NBA cancels their season for 30 days, minimum. Well, that's the other thing where we don't know going forward. We don't know when this is coming back. Like a PJ Championship, that's mid-May. Like right now, in my head, there's nowhere that that happens. It would be- March, April, May, you don't think that's happening?

No. Two and a half months? Nope. No. Because all I hear too, again, this is all just information. that I hear on the internet is that it's going to get much worse before it starts to get better. Correct. And, like, think about, are you really going to, if you're one of the hundreds or thousands of

employees that have to work your ass off to make this tournament, the PJ Championship, happen, are, like, you're going to just be going to work in San Francisco right now where there's a cruise ship with, like, everyone's got coronavirus and the whole town, all this, you're just going to go to work to prepare the PGA championship for, like, no, like, they have to make a call. And if you're making that call right now, based on watching all the other Domino's fall, you're kind of in the same position that the PGA tour and the masters are in of like,

I think we have to fucking postpone it. Like, what are we going to do? Yeah. So now, let's get a little creative and think about a world where like, and I've been tweeting about this, trying to like piece all this together. We're even talking about it a little bit pre-show,

but like there is going to be a stockpile of major sports that if we get through the corona are going to hit us. And it's going to be crazy because you take this month, two, three-month break from sports. And then we're basically just going to enter. We're going to begin the season in NBA and HL at the playoffs. Like we're just going to start and it's going to be playoff time.

And then those are going to be happening. Those take a couple months. They're going to have to get three major championships in, right? So even if one of those other ones gets postponed, you're talking June, July, August, September, October, and those five months stretch, they have to get four major championships in, they have to get the Olympics in, and they have to get the Ryder Cup in. So you've got like baseball. starting. You've got NBA and

NHL playoffs concluding and happening. You've got four, five golf majors, six if you include the Olympics, that they have to all get in in that span. Then you've got football starting at the same time. It's like you've got the actual Olympics, which Trent hates, but everybody else loves. It's like... He watches the

Olympic channel. It's going to be fucking wild. It is confusing that I do that and I don't like the Olympics. But yes, what you're saying is true. It's going to be... It's going to be crazy. Yeah. All at one time. I'll tell you this. If they don't put the Islanders in the playoffs, let's say their NHL just starts the playoffs and they don't put the Islanders in because they're out right now, but their point percentage would get them in, I'll commit

murder. I will. Statistically speaking, they should be in the playoffs. I know you and I've seen your reaction last couple days. You'll murder. If the playoffs just exist without the Islanders, even though they are supposed to be in, they've gotten more points in the games that they played than the teams ahead of them, I will murder someone.

Before that news breaks, someone should have to sneak into your bedroom and chain you to your bed. And then you wake up, be like, what's going on? Be like, hey, I understand. They're not in the play. That's got to be up to us. I think we have to do that. Yeah, right.

When I say someone, like, we're your buddies, we're going to have to do it. Man, this is just crazy times. But like you said, it's going to rev up real quick, real fast. I don't know how TV networks are going to do it. I don't understand how it's going to be possible. How you're going to have all these major championships, all these playoffs, how that's going to happen. CBS is going to be a nightmare. I also don't know what the channels like ESPN are.

going to do right now right what are they doing right now right because i know sports and parcel sports i can just smack my grundle around and just talk about nothing nothing and people still listen to us we do that all this show we just fucking talk about whatever they have to talk about sports they're going to talk about the coronavirus and how it's affected sports for the next three months i think that's true because they there's nothing what do you talk about next week and you know what's going to negatively affect sports is them continuing to talk about how the coronavirus is affecting sports right right that's like really what this is all about right which is the insane part of it so for us, just so the folks out there know, our boss has done nothing but triple, quadruple

down on everything to the point where he just put millions of dollars into the stock market and has decided to learn how to day trade as the markets are in freefall. And he has sent a company-wide email that has said, we need to be blogging, creating content more than ever because everyone's hungry for content. So we, unless something happens outside of a control, mandated quarantine, city, state, national, federal. I got to tell you, that Trump's state of emergency thing, that sounds pretty serious.

It sounds very serious. Unless something like that occurs, we will be going nowhere. We will be, we've been contemplating the idea of going out and live streaming rounds of golf on Periscope, on Instagram Live, Instagram TV, whatever it is.

We've been discussing live streaming, which I think we might begin doing today, Tiger Woods video game playing sawgrass and just running our own players championship. All kinds of stuff like that. Pudding competition. ping pong matches, whatever it is. We've been floating those ideas.

So we're not going anywhere unless we're forced to. I think Dave at one point says if someone gets a coronavirus, they'll just beat it and we'll just keep working. Correct. That's our, that's the company philosophy. The company philosophy right now is, uh, chaos breeds opportunity, I would imagine. I think that's right. The only thing that will stop this is if they actually declare like a complete lockdown, which essentially is what we were saying earlier is what we need.

Like we need someone to be like, you have to go home and stay home and not. If you walk outside, you get a, fine, you get like arrested, like, no joke. Like, if you literally leave your house, like people that see you on the street will find you. Here's a question. Who's going to see you on the street? Please. Who's going to find you?

They don't get days off. I will say the streets. The streets of Manhattan quite empty today. Today was the first time. It was a little less. Yesterday when I left the office, it felt like I was in, um, I had just come from, I just switched universes. Because we talked all day about how everyone's freaking out. Right.

Went outside. The streets are just packed. People were taking selfies. I was like, do you guys know there's just. just like the most, the most infamous pandemic in the history of our lifetime is just around. And that's the disconnect. Nobody knows what to do.

Man, this fucking world is freaking out. Like, I'm, as we're doing this show, I got like my messages up and I, I have a group chat with all my buddies and they are going at it with each other. It's like turning political.

People are going fucking bananas. I mean, one person just wrote, you need to look up some facts, Tom. It's not, if it's, if it's quote unquote,

just another virus, who wouldn't be having a goddamn global pandemic. And the other guy is like, you don't know what you're talking about. Like, it's crazy. That's what we call. The world is fucking falling apart. We call that hysteria. It's hysteria, man.

It's media-driven hysteria. But, well, I understand that we have to stop it. We have to. But the slow death thing, which I don't like the slow closing of stuff, doesn't make any sense to me. The fact that we are allowed to come here and work and that people across the street are allowed to work. And the fact that Pop Bellies restaurant downstairs is still serving milkshakes. Why is that? Do they shoot milkshakes there?

Oh, some of the best. I didn't know that. No free ads, but some of the best. What? Dude, I get a turkey club there once a week. It's great. Never got their fucking milkshakes? Dude, I didn't know that.

They're like Oreo cookie milkshake. Stop it. You might have a heart attack after you drink it because it's so good, but it's worth it. We're all going to die from Corona. Yeah. Yesterday I went to five guys got a bacon, cheeseburger fries, extra amount of peanuts in the bag, and then I got a Oreo milkshake, and I just, I was like rooting for my heart to stop beating. Yeah, you're, uh, you're, you're,

a bear in like October right yes you got you got to fucking load up man hibernation's coming dude it's just insane and I mean so imagine now a fall masters like imagine a people are tweeting me that I don't understand how the trees work and that like the pine trees don't turn and that the trees that are there don't change colors until like November and I I am fully of the belief that Augusta National okay who they die they go around and spray paint the fucking grass green where it's not perfectly green. They put dye and raised creek to make it the right color. They bring clone trees in so that if one of the trees bites the bullet,

like they just fucking replace it. They pipe birds in at the right time to go tweet, tweet when somebody's putting a fucking putt. You don't think they're going to have fall foliage at Augusta National in fucking October. You're insane. What are you talking about? They can make it happen. Have people not been paying attention? You either have to do that and embrace what time of year it is so people are like,

oh, it's the master's best fall, or you've got to make it even more like it always is. You need to walk in the morning, you know, and, like, people walk in at 4 a.m. And it's dark out. You need that to be, like, lit up by, like, lanterns and, like, have, like, spooky music. You got... As you walking up to the first tee. That was really good. Yeah, it was really good.

Can you do it one more time? That's really good. You could, you should do that professional. Yeah, fall masters, like, just a little bit of a different feel would be awesome. And I hope... Dude, but... Right. But they won't go a little bit of a...

They will go, like, ham, I think, on a different. Dude, I could see, yeah, if the Masters was always in October, it would be like the biggest spectacle in the world. Like, they would tee off as, as, like, the first, the first leaf fell. It's like everyone, all the old members would be sitting around this one famous tree. And as the leaf fell, they'd be like, the Masters is open. And, like, everyone would walk in. Like, that's, like, something the Masters would do. They'd be on Magnolia Lane waiting for that leaf to drop.

And as it hit the ground, the gates would open. That's, like, what the Masters does. They're the Disneyland, Disney World, but not in a joke form or not in a clown show form. They are like, I've made that reference before where like they run it like Disney World runs it where everything is perfect. They think of everything. They think of everything. There's like tunnels underground, so you never see. I watched a documentary on Disney Plus, the Imagineers, really good documentary.

I recommend it to anyone during this pandemic times when you're not watching Forplay videos to watch on Disney Plus the Imagineers documentary. Really fucking good about how Disney started. nuts. But the way that they run these parks, man, like they thought of everything. Like, they didn't want a little kid to see Mickey Mouse walking in through a door or, like, walking in from the fucking parking

lap by any chance. Like, they want Mickey Mouse to just appear outside the Magic Kingdom. And like, all, like, the only place you could see Mickey Mouse is in that park. And that there's not a person inside. So that's, like, what Augusta is to me. Like, the people that work even at the little stations that give you the Pimento cheese sandwiches,

those people just exist there. I don't, They don't get into their cars and go home and pay their taxes and, like, worry about, like, what. They don't go grocery shopping. They just sit there and they exist. It's like Westworld. They are robots. That's a good way to describe it. Yes.

And if you don't think, like what Riggs is saying, they're going to change everything. If you don't think Magnolia Lane is going to be filled with orange, purple, and, like, red trees as you drive down, you're fucking out of your mind. If you don't think that big oak tree by the clubhouse is going to be an apple tree by the time of the tournament, you're fucking crazy person. That's just what they're going to do. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be, and they're going to treat it. Like, this is just the way that it's always supposed to have been. Right?

Like, oh, this is the way. That's like what they're going to. Man, it's just like, oh, yeah, no, this is the fall mask. Would you be opposed if this year they changed the green jacket to a blood orange jacket? No. I would fucking go crazy for that. Like, this was the one year they played in October and you were the winner. Here's a blood orange.

Dude, and they won't say anything either. They'll just like, all week, they'll be like, who's going to be the winner of the orange jacket? Yeah. And we're like, wait, it's like, even Nancy's pumping out the propaganda. And we're like, what is it? I thought it was green. And then by the end of the week, we're going to be like, I can't wait to see this orange jacket come out. We'll act like it never change.

What if it's so successful that they just move it every year to October? That'd be awesome. Imagine, like, all their B-roll from inside the clubhouse, it's just guys in orange jackets. No, we can't have it. We can't have it forever in October. It's got to stay where it is because, like, like, you said, October's always just too crazy. Baseball playoffs. Yeah.

Too much going on. I love that idea, though. If we, like, as soon as it gets announced and we start Googling old pictures of, like, Tiger putting on the green jacket. And it's just orange. It's like, what's happening? You just scrub the internet of the green jacket? Zach Johnson would win the orange jacket. It would just be different.

You'd be like, whoa. Like you're looking through Masters winners, and you just see this one guy just pop up orange like, whoa. Yeah. I mean, he did win it. People forget that. He did win the green jacket. I could see like Lee Westwood looking good in the orange jacket

with like some of his salt and pepper he's got going on. Yeah. You know, and people just be like, it's not right. Tiger in an orange. I mean, that's just like, it looks, it's tiger print. It would be Rory's luck to win it. and it'd be an orange jacket. He's wanted a green jacket his whole life.

It's just out of reach multiple times. And he finally gets it and it's just orange. Imagine Tiger wins it and puts black stripes on it. Ooh. Now we're talking. Now we're fucking talking. It's just a tiger jacket. Yeah.

That's like what, that's just what he's given. I saw somebody say there's going to be a pumpkin patch behind the 13th green instead of all the azaleas. So good. I mean, like, come on. Hit me with that.

Orange flags instead of like the yellow ones. Now, we say this like, I also wouldn't be opposed while it's cold out. It's in October. We're in, like, college football season. We're in baseball playoffs. You know, you're so used to the crisp air watching baseball playoffs.

Like, you know, guys are hitting the bats with the wooden bat. They're hitting balls with wooden bats and your fingers hurt. That's like what I feel in October. Hockey season's starting. You're just like, it's cold. And then all of a sudden, the Masters comes on and it's like summer. Like if they, like, somehow. I'll say this. Everything is perfectly green and birds are chirping and the sun is shining.

Let me tell you this though. Like October in Georgia ain't fucking cold. Right. Like they're doing like shirtless tailgates for fucking. That's what I mean. So it's like that will also be a nice like. Yes. Movement away from like your life at that moment. You have to go full one way or full the other way. Yeah. Do pumpkin patches. Do the leaf falling out of the tree like Frankie's talking about or make it look exactly the same. As it always has. and you're like, oh, all right, we have the masters. My life can now go back to normal. It'll be exciting because think about it. We come back, Labor Day, everybody's sad, summer's over.

And like, the big thing you do have is like, all right, at least it's football season. And we can kind of dive in and we understand the misery and the fact that we have like six months of like golf season's not really the best because it's winding down and it's sad. It's going to be cold and shitty. And we have fucking the Ryder Cup and the Masters, the first fall masters to look forward to.

Like, I don't hate that, man. I think that's cool. I think it's an exciting time. I think it could be so unique and memorable. And you just have to hope. You have to hope that, like, Zach Johnson doesn't win that. Yeah, you have to.

Because it would just ruin the whole uniqueness and kind of the, right? No. It would be a time for celebration. You know? Zach Johnson wins the masters. No one talks about them with that kind of reflection. They're never voice.

I do. No, they have like a, um, A palpable sadness in their voice when they talk about him. It's like, what's his name from Winnie the Pooh? Your? Your. Zach Johnson.

He won the Masters. Everything sucks. You're such an asshole. That replaces the Masters theme song. Many people are wondering, and I see it on the timeline here of Tiger Woods is a genius. Oh, Tiger Woods. He didn't waste his time coming in this. I'm fucking kidding. Tiger Woods has at least a two to three week information head start on anyone else.

Yeah, if you don't think Tiger Woods is up to speed at the same rate as like the President of the United States and all these people and all these sort of, you know, foundations and all these like scientists that are trying to figure out the coronavirus. Tiger is one of the people alerted when they have a test and when they have a vaccine. Like he is on that list. Tiger too. I mean, if there's somebody, he might be a little too susceptible to the coronavirus. He's a little bit of a band-aid, and it hasn't been the most healthy person of all time. He knew what was going on. Tiger, for the last three weeks, I bet he's been in one of those caves in Missouri, you know, where they go and they put the president in, like, a nuclear scare.

He's been there. They were, like, Trump told him probably three weeks ago, like, hey, just go to that little place in Missouri and the caves and the Ozarks, and you pop out in, like, summertime, and the golf will resume. I do picture someone giving him, like a manila folder that he flips open, and it has, this is a couple weeks ago, and it just has, like the coronavirus is about to take over the world, and he just looks at it, close it, and he's like, I'm not going to the players.

I'm out. I'm out. Well, yeah, and they put up, like, the force field around his compound. Yep. If he does stay there and doesn't go to Missouri in the cave. And that's just what he does. And he hunkers down. No one can get in, nobody can get out.

And Tiger Woods just reemerges for the first ever fall masters. He might get in, like, one of those chambers where you just lay in there. And they're like, like in hyper space, where they're like, all right, now we're going to travel for 30 years. And they just hibernate in there until the masters in October. Fine. One of those beds, like in the fifth element. Yes. Yeah.

Fine. If they put him into the little hyperbolic chamber, cool. As long as he's back for the fall masters, I'm not really too worried about it. I texted kids. I said, are you home yet? And he just said, no, sitting on a beach drinking beer. And then he sent a picture of him and Charlie Hoffman drinking beers on the beach. So they don't seem to be too concerned.

He also texted me and said send money because they don't have a job for the next month, at least. He'll be just fine. I think he'll be okay. A shout out to Mike Wan, Juan, the LPG. tour commissioner. I never know which one it is. I get it wrong all time. W. H.A.N. What would you guess that is? W.H.A.N. W. W. W. W. W. Mike Juan. who's been handling this phenomenally. He said, I feel fairly confident we could probably play the Phoenix event, maybe even could play the Carl's Bad event, play without fans

to keep everybody else out. But I can live with it if I'm, but can I live with it if I'm wrong? If I'm wrong, I'd regret that the rest of my life. So he's been very proactive and ahead of just canceling events, even though he knows it's devastating to a tour that is already like it needs you know needs help it's not the healthiest necessary that it's ever been and he's been very proactive and just being like nope i don't want to be on the wrong side of this no chance i can't live with that if i'm wrong cancel cancel um so in a world where we just kind of talked about you know and it must be so tempting for anybody any sports league but one like that specifically where all the other sports are gone you're living in a world where you could be the

only game in town and i guarantee that was part of what went into the uh the players championship playing that first day where everybody else is dropping out pretty much everybody except, I think, NASCAR and USC, but all the major sports, March Madness is gone, conference championships are gone, NBA's gone. They're like, we could be staring at a huge viewership number if we just power through this,

but then you start looking at it realistically, and it's like Juan said, where it's, could you live with yourself if someone gets the virus, something horrible happens? At the end of the day, you just got to cancel it. But they probably are looking at that number,

like people are going to watch if we put this on. Totally. I mean, it would have been, people were talking yesterday in the office, as the player's championship was happening of like, I'm going to become the biggest golf fan of the world this weekend. The players' championship ratings are going to be through the roof because there's legitimately, like you just said, nothing else on.

Everything is fucking canceled. Then you have to kind of follow and cancel. So the decisions have been fucking brutal. I was trying to think about who this hurts the most on the PGA tour, like players-wise, because Roy's been playing phenomenally. He hasn't finished outside what, the top five or seven and like seven starts. His last seven worldwide starts. so he obviously Hodecki because he just shot fucking 9 under 63 and was leading the player's championship.

But John Rob, he was playing great golf. Now they're not going to be able to play for at least a month. So you've got to think about some of these guys who have been playing really good golf and the fact that, you know, they're just not going to have anywhere to play professionally for at least a month, probably a couple months. And then when they do come back, it's going to be just an onslaught of major tournaments, like huge golf tournaments. So the whole thing, man, the whole thing is bizarre. It's weird. I don't know what those guys are they just going to keep grinding on the range.

Do you just put it on hold? Do you go on vacation for a couple weeks? Do you quarantine yourself somewhere? I think you have to quarantine or else everything else. All this is for nothing. What's the difference between them playing out the PGA championship with no fans? Or if they just go to the beach together or if they go to the range together, there is no difference. There is no difference.

And then you're not doing anything. Yeah. What can we do? Can we go to a golf course? are they going to be open I don't know I don't know how you cancel one thing and then say you can do another thing

because it just doesn't make any sense this whole thing makes no sense to me it's either all in or not canceling though are like the big congregations right but then do it with no fans true and they're saying they can't do that because they want the health

and whatever they don't want to risk the players like if we go to a golf course are there going to be older men there probably You know who's going to die from the coronavirus. Them. Just statistically speaking. That's the issue.

The older men. Right. Like that's the whole thing. That's where it gets scary where we are all young-ish men, young-ish, healthy-ish men. And we're going to be fine even if we get it. That's what Dave saying. If we get it, somebody's going to get it and they're going to survive and we're going to keep moving. The scary part gets is when you go around older people.

If you go to a golf course and those older people there, some people want to go see their families, but it's like, oh, my dad's like 68. He's 70. if I give him a hug and then he's going to die. Like that's where it gets scary. Big time. I don't want to delve in like dark thoughts on this show. And I don't want it to come off like I'm about to say something dark,

but somebody sent me a message that's worth considering. And the person said with Corona taking old people, should there be a task force to take care of Jack Nicholas? Oh. Jack's got to be, I mean, he's got to be in a bubble situation, right? Those are people who legitimately have to stay. self-quarantine for like a month. You have to. You can't go anywhere.

You know, I was looking, and I don't want to take this back, and I don't want to make this into a debate about the flu versus the fucking coronavirus. I understand the coronavirus doesn't have a vaccine. It's a pandemic. It's horrible. It's one of the worst things we've seen in our lifetime. But, like, man, did I look up stats on the flu last night? And, like, I haven't been thinking about the flu my whole life.

And that thing is a fucking killer. That thing takes out people left and right. Left and right every year. It's a killer. It kills people. It literally wipes out populations. Yeah, the flu does. It kills a lot of people.

It kills a lot of people. What we have a vaccine for it. I know. I'm just saying it's something I got to start thinking about. I never think about the flu. Oh, you're saying this is really opened your eyes. Yeah, I just never think about it. I don't get the flu vaccine.

I'm like, it's just, I just live my life. Flu is just taking people out around me all. Like, we should be never leaving our house. The flu is killing 100,000 people in America, a season. And we're just like la-di-da. Like we're going out golfing and shit I don't think it kills 100,000 70 to 100,000 people.

A year? I thought it was like 20 to 70. Regardless. Those numbers are both high. Also, the flu has been around for like 2,000 years, which is crazy. It's just, dude, and also,

when are we going to start talking about vaccines just being aliens? This is our form of aliens. Let's say aliens, I believe aliens exist. What? Vaccines? No, viruses.

Oh, viruses. I was like, I was like, bad, buddy. You got something. It's like, we don't get a vaccine until the aliens drive above with you. Oh, Vaccines of viruses

Franken thinks that they came and dropped off the back They both shouldn't start with the V, it's not fair. Okay. The bad thing and the good thing should not both be the same word. Viruses are like our form of aliens. This is like an alien taking over the world movie right now. The president was just speaking to the country being like, we will fight this together.

Like there's a thing entering people's bodies that are taking people out. They're dying. Sports are canceled. No, I said to Robbie Wednesday night when everything, the dominoes are starting to fall. And I was like, this is what it would feel like if the world was about to end. Like, this is the beginning of it. Yeah, this would be the process.

Right. This is how it would start. Correct. Everything gets canceled and you're like, people are like, don't leave your apartments. Correct. And then who knows what happens next. And it's very clear that no one is really that in charge. Correct.

Like we're all getting the, we're all basing what we should do off of like our own reading of the internet. That's pretty much what we're all doing. Right. And normally, that's how we normally operate our lives anyway, but this just has dire and serious consequences. I'm opening doors in my elbow. What? I'm opening doors in my elbow. Yeah?

I don't use my hands anymore. I'm pure Ellen like you wouldn't believe. I pure Ellen and then I just, I bump, I nudge doors open. Yeah. I don't, I don't use my hands on them. It's changed my whole way of living. Yeah. Like you, like you were saying, it was, um, it changed.

Once it starts to change the things that you would have done before, that's when it gets scary. Like, if you don't want to go home, like if you live in Long Island, your parents are out there, you like, you don't. want to go see him because they're like, ah, shit. Right. Boy, do I look weird in those revolving doors in the front of our building? I go in, no, I go in like a linebacker. I go with my shoulder. So it sucks.

If it's, does it have momentum when I get in it sometimes? I got to just, I just barrel right into it, my shoulder. You ever, your face is getting close to the door when you're doing that, I feel like. Yeah, I, I, uh, arch it back. Yeah. See I'm saying? Yeah. These are the precautions that we're taking.

I just got another DM. I have been trying to, um, vet these sources the best I can but I just got this one I didn't do any vetting whatsoever sometimes I'll click on their profile and I'll just see that their hometown is Augusta and I usually take that. Fair. This guy said

from an Augusta National higher up said right now they're looking at either the third week in May or the third week in September which would be the week before the Ryder Cup. Now I do love that they would just do the third week in May Like the Masters has 0.0 consideration or concern for what the PGA of America, like, thinks.

They might just be like, they might put it right on top of it. They'd be like, no, the masses is just that the week that the player, that the PGA is supposed to be. It's just that week. And then the PGA would have to be like, okay, we're going to move. Yeah, because there would be no field of the PGA championship. No, like, if that's when they do the Masters, that's just when the Masters is that. They could do that. They wanted to.

Totally. I mean, they could just make it during like Christmas and they could do anything that they want. People are like, no, you're right. Nothing else is happening that week except for the Masters. Yeah, it's so funny that those dates are so different. Did you know that in 1,500s, people would only take a yearly bath? Is this Frankie Fax?

Yeah. By the way, Link's gems was furious with you. Really? About the rule of thumb thing. He's sending me links left and right. It's not true. He called you. He called you Frankie Falshoods is what he called you.

So, well... That's a very nice man saying that. Those are strong words from Wingshows. With a period. A lot of people were saying at the beginning of the movie Boondock Saints, which I've never seen before, quite literally is the rule of thumb. I guess someone gets beaten with a stick nil thicker than their thumb. Come on.

Yeah, so everyone's like, you've never seen Boondock Saints. It's a good movie. Have you ever seen it? Yeah. Do you know how it starts? I saw it so long ago, I don't remember. Okay. So, how do you know, it's a good movie?

No, no, no. I know in a general sense that I enjoy the movie that. I watched. What's it about if people are getting beaten with sticks in the first 10 minutes? It's about two brothers. You never seen it? No. Oh.

Have you ever seen it? Yeah. They're like vigilante. They become like vigilante. They take it upon themselves to kill worse people. Yeah. Okay. Well, apparently the rule of thumb is in that.

But anyway, in 1500s, people used to only bat bathe once a year. It would typically be like in May and there would be like bath season. And they would all bathe in like these huge tubs. And then, so like, women would, when they got married, let's, let's, say they got married in a time in which they hadn't bathed yet, or maybe it was after they had bathed and, like, it's been removed for a couple months. They would walk down and meet their husband,

maybe like down the aisle, however they did it in the 1500s, and they would hold flowers to mask their smell and their body odor, hence the bridal bouquet that we now still have today. That's a great Frankie's facts. So when you see a bride looking beautiful that day, and, you know, she's walking down, she probably smells pristine, right?

I mean, like, it's their day. It's the bride's day. Now in the year 2020, it's like it's the biggest day in their lives. And they're holding that beautiful bouquet walking down the aisle. That was originally because they smelled like shit. That might be, I think that might be my favorite Frankies Facts. Yeah, yeah. Because that one sounds super believable.

Yep. And I'm just going to believe it outright. Fine. Really good. People love Frankie's Fax. There you go. No, people have been, um, I like it too because, um, because I get to learn a little something.

and it also couldn't be true. There's a chance that it's not true. The best part about Frankie's facts are not facts. They're just like things that you read that you think might be true. They're facts until they're proven untruthful. Facts until proven false. Fine. It just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

It sure does it. Frankie's facts until proven false? Yes. I kind of like that actually. Do your own research. Listen to my fact. Do your own research. Get back to me.

It's homework essentially for the listener. Yeah. But it's also fun to just like. just believe it. I actually think that's a real fact. I have decided to come up. For the foreseeable future, I have just decided to believe all of the Frankie's facts.

I don't leave the studio and go look up whether it's true or not. I just walk around with that out of my head. Like, that's a really interesting fact that he brought up. And a lot of these facts come from DMs that I literally do not double check. So if you want to send me some facts that you want to get featured on the show, hit me up in my DMs, slide right in there. You know, they're clean right now

Because of the Purell situation Yeah A lot of people are your DMs, huh? Yep Is that you trying to say? I'm just Purell on everything, man Lurch's purell in his face and shit But shout out to Lurge too

He really tried to get on this show via Skype And I shut it down You did shut it down But you said that it wouldn't work But meanwhile we talked to all of our guests And anyone that would come on via Skype And here's what I would say When we have the four of us

And a guest via Skype I think it's really bad Yeah I think it's a disaster People don't know when it's their turn to talk You got one person who has like half a second delay Versus everyone else I just don't think it works as well

We have enough trouble when we're all in the same route Correct That's true So now you're gonna add the guy with the most baritone voice His voice stinks Who talks over Frankie and Frankie talks over him And then he's gonna be on Skype Which I'll never lose that battle

And he doesn't get that through his head His thick skull We've been doing it for months now He just doesn't stop I know I'm gonna talk over him He just doesn't stop and it's infuriating He keeps going right through I have a

like I have a police barricade on the road and I'm like stop, stop, stop, and he just piles right through it. But then you are, you're running in front and putting the barricades up again, hoping it'll stop. And it's just, it's just broken, a mile of broken barricades.

I'm on the dispatch. He's gone through seven barricades. He's on highway four. What's the highway? I380. I380. Is that the Iowa one? Yeah.

The corridor. How do you think people feel right now in sports just before we end this? Like that, I don't know, like Vince Carr. or maybe a hockey player that was out there for his, you know, his, his, uh, contracts up. And, you know, this guy has no idea he just played his last game, maybe. Like, they don't know if they're coming back.

I know they may come back and it's only suspended, but like, man, that's got to be such a daunting, horrible feeling. Like, oh, you didn't even get that last chance. You had another two months left of the season. You had maybe 15, 16 games left to take it all in. And all of a sudden now you've got, you're sitting in a room with, like, your kids and your wife and you're like, oh, man, like, I'm just not playing sports anymore. Yeah, imagine if, like, the last two, if this had happened during the last two months

of like Jeter's like last season. It would be horrible. You know, and be like, wait, what? Right. That's unceremonious.

Because of the glorified flu. He's just gone. Crazy. People were going to be rattled. I just said glorified flu. I don't know. People are like, flu truthers and coronavirus truthers.

I don't know, man. I was thinking about this. If you just, I actually did this little personal exercise last night for like 10 minutes on on Twitter, if you just, if you just replaced every single time you saw the coronavirus with just the flu,

Twitter becomes very funny. it's like yeah it was um major announcement um canadian prime minister justin trudeau's wife has been tested positive for the flu and then it's like tom hanks and rita have tested positive for the flu like it'd be like why the NBA has been canceled because of the flu well these aren't real headlines yeah wait they said charles parkly is going to be quarantined to get tested for coronavirus and sports center put up the praying hands emoji on in the in the comment he's being tested he doesn't even know he could just have a cold.

He could have the sniffles. He could have the sniffles. Easily. I'm not saying the coronavirus is the same thing as the flu. It's just a funny thought exercise to do. It might bring you a little cheer in your life. Another thing I wanted to bring out before we're gone is I kind of tweeted this out yesterday. I got a ton of replies.

It's like, where would you, what one golf resort that we've been to? Would you want to, if you had a month to be quarantined at, would you be quarantined at? I know my answer. What is it? Aaron Hills. Oh, good one. Yeah, you can only play the same course every day. It's got to be Pioneer.

You got 10 options. I said Pioneer's abandon because you got so many options. So many options are like the best of places that have a ton of options. Although the living arrangements at Aaron Hills were quite lovely. Immaculate. Our cottage Aaron. Yeah. The dinner every night in there.

Also, you're pretty secluded like you're out there. So you'd feel safe. That's a great place to be quarantined. Good one. Yeah. And I have good memories there. Tobacco Road's not a bad choice either because that course. I love that course.

I love the honorary Peninsula maybe if you can play all the or is it just one. Yeah, it was like the property. So yeah, that would, Pebble does own. a ton of that out there. I don't know if you could get from one to the other without like leaving the property. But let's say you could. Then you'd have spyglass pebble. That's a no-brainer.

Yeah, dude. You'd have Spanish. Oh, I got to get quarantine in heaven. Yeah. That'd be a good one. I just like Aaron Hills because it feels like I'm in Ireland. Would you take the coronavirus right now to play Augusta?

In a heartbeat. Yep. Yeah. Do I get it before or after? Before. Yeah, it still do it. You get it the week before you're supposed to play. Oh, that's brutal, Frank.

You got to get. No, because you might be super. Super sick on the golf course. You'd be thrown up and pooping. Would you do that? Yeah. You'd still play while you have 104 fever. Is it like, just no white pants?

Is there a moral issue where I'm going to get other people corona? No. Then yeah, definitely. I'd take all day if I had to shit after every hole, I'd do it. I'm in the trees over there. They're shitting all over. They're trying to swap out pines from apple trees and I'm fucking shit in the woods. You bury your poop and then it turns into a beautiful tree.

That's probably what happens. there just on a regular basis. I bet you all the trees there are from members poop. I'm going to bet that's not true. Take it to leave it. That Frankie's fact's not as good. No. Frankie Paul said it's until proven true.

That one is going to be hard to disprove, I will say. No, it is. I mean, you could rather that one, Frankie. That could be any. That's so funny the headline. Jerry Seinfeld says he has no interest in buying the Mets and saving Mets and saving Mets fans from the Will Pons. I don't know.

It made me laugh. I have no interest. I have no interest. No, thank you. Do you think the Masters, the Augusta members partake in debauchery on the golf course, like members do at normal courses? Like, do you think there's members that go,

like down in aiming corner, they just get shit-faced. They're on like their 12th transfusion of the day, like pissing like off to the side of the T-box on 12? I think, yeah, I think they get loose out there for sure. I do too. Some of the most, like, powerful people in the world. Those people are fucking weird.

Who's going to tell them? No. Right. Yeah. I think so too. I think they definitely do. I think so. Because even like the nicest clubs we've been to, I'm not going to say the names, but like, once you're there, you're there. People don't care. Like, to a degree, there's always going to be certain members that are like, no, we're here, like, put some music on, like, go piss over by that bush. Who cares?

Like, this, that. So if they're doing it at these other places, I get Augustas Augusta, but they got to be, like, guys ripping around and, like, a cart fucking playing the back night at Augusta, like, you know? I think so. I think there are, I think it's like eyes wide shut type shit going on over there. It's the elitist. It's the most elite country club in the world. You got such big personalities, huge egos. Illuminati shit.

Illuminati shit going on, man. Freemasons. Yeah, absolutely. That all flows through there. Yeah, for sure. I mean, aside from the Masters, Augusta's probably like a pretty, like, scary place to be around. I think so. I think so.

With, like, those members and just the shit that's going on over there, it's a scary place. A lot of power. So much power. Power is scary. Like, a bunch of powerful people together. Yep. In a club. Yep.

That's just scary. Like, that's the ultimate place that we said that we'd feel uncomfortable at that we've talked about on this podcast. That's the ultimate place. But it's an Augusta National. So it's like, I think you just take it for what it is.

Like they're allowed to do that because they belong to the most elite club in the world. But, man. Yeah. Talk about not wanting to walk in the wrong places. Totally. There'd be, you feel as like there'd be people peering at you through the trees 24-7 the whole time

you're there. Yeah, I felt like that when we were just patrons at the event. Same. Like they knew. who we were and they were like not in a good way. Keep an eye on those fuckers. Yeah.

All right, man. Crazy times. Everything's been canceled. Masters has been postponed. It may happen, you know, it may happen anytime. Third weekend May, October, September. Who knows? But it's postponed, not canceled.

That's a good sign. You also got to think about like, we've been, we've seen that operation in the pro shop, the merch shop. Think about how many things they have that have, that say, Masters, 2020 on them, they got to get rid of. You got to have a tournament. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That's true. I didn't think about that. Millions. I mean, they have quarter zips. But also I could just see them throwing that into a big incinerator and being like, oh, well. You know? Just have unlimited money.

Yeah, like, fuck it. They just like, they burn all the green quarterships and then, like, they use that to, like, paint the greens or something like that. Yeah, they'd reuse it. I could see it. But if there's one place in the world that could take, like, a $50 million bath on merch, it'd be that. They'd be like, ah, well. People in 1500s only bathe only bathe. once a year. Yep. Bucay's at the wedding. That's why that's why she has those.

All right. You tell me nobody baths twice a year. It was like it was a, it was a customary thing to do it once a year. A huge bath. Not one person was like, you know, my hands got a little like greasy today. I don't think they cared, man. I'm going to hop in the bath. I don't think they gave a fuck. Even though it's not like my July 5th, like whatever. Maybe it was like the general public did this. Maybe it was like an elite thing to have to own a bath because like you have to think like kings and queens and like people with money. Well, they would go to public baths, right? This was like a public bag. You got to think in order for those public paths

and stay in business, they got to do it more than once a year. True. Just a little economics there. Everybody's been talking about the economy a lot lately. All right. My laptop died. Are we done?

Your laptop? At least it's not sounding like a spaceship right now. That's huge. Sorry, Lurch, that you just weren't here. So if you're listening. Nice to not hear his voice. How do you feel talking about it with him not here? I always talk about people behind their back.

It's just something I do. That's one of my character traits. at least you're up front about it yeah i think we'll be back on tuesday this is an emergency show a lot going on follow along on four play pod on social on twitter on instagram because we're going to be doing more live stuff and we're putting up more content because obviously you have no golf to watch uh youtube channel go subscribe to that puppy we're going to have more videos up there and hit it hard hit it hard hit hard
