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. We are back. The boys are back in New York in Manhattan. It was a hell of a week out of Long Island. I got to say, I like Long Island, Frankie. No offense to Long Island. Man, does it feel good to be back in my own bed in Manhattan? Long Island's one of the best places on Earth.

I felt great to be home. It felt great to sleep in my home bed. Now I call it my parents' house. That's a new thing I'm doing just because I live in the city now. So, like, yeah, I'm at my parents' house, even though it's by far just my house still. Like, I've only lived in the city for a couple. Your house still. Like, like, I feel like you need a certain amount.

No, you need a certain amount of time. Do you make payments on the house? I need a certain amount of time away from home. As soon as your last item is out the door and into a new apartment, it's now your place. So when you go away to college and you're like in a dorm or you live in a house like off campus, do you say my parents' house? I'm going back to my parents' house for the week. You say I'm going home for the week. You say going home.

Okay. So that's how I still feel is my first time ever not being in the house. Like I didn't go away to college. So I say I'm going home. Like when I tell my buddy, it's like, what are you doing this week? I'm like, I'm going home. Yeah, but we could say the same thing. If I was going back to St. Louis, it would be like, I'm going home.

But, like, you know, if somebody asks where you stay and I'd be like my parents' house. Gotcha. Versus my brother's house. You wouldn't say, like, my house? No. Okay. I would say my parents out. You guys were also more removed from that.

Big time. Yeah. I think you're at the point where you say my parents' house. Really? Yeah. Feels weird. I don't want it. My room.

My house. You're 25, Frankie. Yeah, maybe it makes it. Yeah, it's tough. 25's, you know. You don't look 25, but you're 25. I mean, if you want to start talking age, and next time we were looking at banners yesterday,

that stage black. Don't do this. And we looked up at a banner. I'm like, hey, Smith, I was like, hey, Trent, that banner right there says 2032. You're going to be in your 40s by then. And that kind of dampen the mood a little bit.

I'm going to be 43 years old when that comes around. When the, when the PGA comes to like Wisconsin. I don't even know what I'm going to be doing. Which venue was that? Like, I don't know. Dude, they had a flag. I mean, we'll get to everything, Bethpage Black and PGA Championship, but they had these

flags up in the media center of all the upcoming PGA championships that they have scheduled, and one of them was like 2032. I was like, are you kidding me? Is the world going to be around in 2032? I'll be 45. That's insane. That's what I mean. Like, if you're like 46, maybe, who the hell knows what we're going to be?

Thinking I'm going to, what I'm going to be like when I'm 43 makes me just, I hope I die when I'm like 39. I wonder if I'll be any different. Right. Like, like I'm going to have an eight year old son by then. You think about, you think you're not going to be different, but like I'm a much different person now than I was when I was, what, 19, 20? Like that's basically the same amount of time. Obviously, those are bigger changes in your life. But thinking about what I'm going to be like when I'm 43 is inconceivable.

Imagine like 40, 45 and 43 year old slim daddy Trent running around like Pabble Beach or whatever, go on these fucking tournaments doing the shit we were doing this week. Right. Like then are we the old guys like we saw in the media room this weekend? Were those guys? Like, yeah, I want to people like no running. Not me. I'm going to be looking.

My whole life I've been told, oh yeah, you look young, but it'll come in handy one day. I'm going to be that 43 year old guy is walking around, you know, nice thin, slim clothing. I'm going to look like a young, cool guy. Oh, yeah. My body is going to deteriorate. Yeah. As I get older, my body's going to be tough. It's already in a pretty bad spot.

At least your skin, Frankie, it'll be fried off at that point. Why? Because the sun? Yes. I mean, I put on so much suntan lotion. The sun might not be around in 13 years. We were, it seems unlikely. You don't know that, though.

You don't know the future. Isn't it a longer process than 13 years for that thing to disappear? We don't know. We don't know. It could be gone tomorrow. Somebody knows. Don't they just watch other fucking stars? If it just turns off.

They just tell you what that thing did, and that's what ours. What if something just happens? Things happen all the time. Just not a light ball, but those just turn off. Yeah, but like things happen, right? Like, what if something happens? Yeah. Like, what?

Like, I don't know. Like, whatever components it is that the sun has, like, one of them, like, Oh, gravity? Everything that they do are just, their best guess. You think someone knows how the fucking sun really works? Yes. They just watch the millions of other sons out there. And if it takes those sons, like, 100 million years to die off,

ours is going to take 100 million years. doesn't happen in 13 years. You're going to tell me the guys at NASA know everything that's going to happen in regards to the sun. They can estimate. They have a good estimation of how long it takes the sun to just die off and disappear and it's longer than 13 years. Estimation sounds like there's some wiggle room there that I can just happen tomorrow.

So you could just win a $3,000. So SupremeGoff.com slash barstool. Supreme golf is the best. All right, we spent the last seven days out at Beth Page Black. It's the first time we've ever done anything like that.

Big shout out and thank you to the PGA of America for credentialing us inside the ropes. Booth, very cool booth. You know, we talked about our booth for two weeks or so. Booth was awesome. Booth was right next to the fucking driving range. We sold it short in terms of what we thought it was going to be. Like, we thought it was going to be some rinky dink little thing made out of a couple pieces of wood. And then they throw us way down the range where we can't.

anything, it could not have been more of the opposite. It was a full-on tent right next to the range. As close as you get to the range. Huge tent. A lot of girth, a lot of height. A lot of room for activities. I got to be honest, way too big of a tent for us. You're allowed to use the word girth for describing the size of a tent?

I don't think so. I think you use that for penis size. More commonly refers to penis. Or when we were at shape and felt like that when I said. We were having a banana conversation the other day and we used the word girth. You remember that? Dude, that plays that. Yes.

I mean, the other day that was yesterday. I know every day feels like, I feel like, I feel like, yesterday was a month and a half ago because we did so much stuff this week at the PGA but I held on to this banana and my goodness was that thing thick I mean it it blew my mind away it was the thickest banana I've ever held

no joke he couldn't stop gripping it being like how thick this thing dude the thing was fucking thick it really was I made me hold it and it was thick it was so thick Girt plays there you can use Girt yeah the tent was too big when we were on our way out there I think I said to you guys

Like, hey, are you prepared for how disappointed to be about our booth that we've been talking about on the podcast? Like, we were kind of churching it up, having fun with it. But I expected us to be a complete dog shit tent, like among a million other tents. You can't even tell that we're really there. Oh, no, no. We were just to the right of the range, huge tent that was way too big for anything. Had we known it was going to be that big, which we should have known because they literally sent me the dimensions and I just didn't read them. We would have been able to like fill our tent more and done more stuff within that.

tent, but also it worked out perfectly that like when we needed it, we used it. We got a handful of interviews in there and we were doing our podcast, the last one that you all listened to. Bryson Dishambeau was able to just kind of wander right on over and jump onto the show right before those guys started blowing off the driving range. So our tent, our booth, whatever you want to call it, was unbelievable. We were credentialed the whole time. We were inside the ropes as people saw.

People were tweeting pictures at us left and right from. We were all over the goddamn TV coverage. But it was the first time we've ever been able to be, we've ever been able to be. that ever been able to be out there the entire week. Usually we've done a couple majors that we've gone to. We've done Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, being like, oh, we'll go for once the golf tournament starts. That doesn't work.

Like, the players are just way less accessible during the tournament, which is very understandable. So this time we said, hey, this is our one of our, you know, kind of our home track, People's Country Club. Frankie grew up playing there hundreds of times. We want to be out there all week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, we can get shit with people. And we did.

I mean, the content, the videos that we got, I put out a whole recap blog today. If anybody missed anything, you can go through that. You can also go check out our YouTube channel, this brand new media. Brand new platform. A lot of folks, I've even noticed some musicians. Music stars are starting to really use this platform. YouTube.

What is it? Really? It's called YouTube. Who's doing it? One word, YouTube. What music star? I bet Dave Matthew is using it. It looks like a lot of them are on it these days.

Really? A lot of them. Somebody said that's how Bieber. That's how he blew up. long story. Four play golf. Go check us out on YouTube. We're putting all our videos up there.

You kind of see them all in one place. And also the blog that I put up the recap blog. But it was a crazy week. We're going to go through all of that. We're going to kind of relive a lot of it. Let's bang through some of these headlines really quickly. Hell yeah. Brooks Kepka.

He won. We had him on the show on Tuesday. He won a major championship on Sunday. Some people will call out a foreplay bump. It's up to you. You can really call that whatever you'd like. Fourth major. Fourth major in eight.

He's won three of his last five major championships, I believe, which is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous. He had some great quotes yesterday afterwards. If you remember, he had some great quotes on our show beforehand, where he talked about how majors are much easier to win. An incredibly logical and rational thing to say, actually, because... And, like, somewhat cocky. Very cocky. Crazy cocky.

When he explains it, it actually makes a lot of sense. And then when you win, it makes even more sense. Can't explain to how much sense it makes when you're able to have that much... confidence, that much cockiness, and then just back it up the week after, like the thing that you were talking about cockily? Is that the word cockily? Uh, sure. Uh, you were talking about this cockily?

Feels wrong, man. That feels wrong. It doesn't come off the tongue real nice. I don't know that cockley is correct. I be honest, some people listen to this. It sounds like, uh, sounds like, um, like, it sounds like I'm like, like, like, like sticking a fucking knife in your ear. Yeah.

Cockley. Ah, cockily. Just turning a screwdriver in my head. There's someone walking the street in New York City right now that kind of just like ducked their head. Like, uh, and someone else. It's like, what the hell's wrong with that guy? It's like, well, Frankie just said cockily.

But when you're able to fucking back that out, man, that takes some balls to be able to do that. To sit on our podcast and be like, it's a major. So it's just easier. And then just win. Are you kidding me? He talked about the numbers. He said, you know, you can pretty much eliminate half the field right away

because they're just not good enough to win a major championship. Correct. He's like, so now you're down to like 70 people from there. You can eliminate about half of those people because they just don't have the balls to win under pressure in a major championship and deal with that. So now you're down to like 30, 35. Then he goes, and then about half of those people,

they just, with the conditions and how difficult the golf course gets, late in the tournament like that, you can pretty much wither them out. And now he's like, I'm down to what, a handful, maybe 12, 15 people that I got to beat. And I like my chances just beating those people. He had the quote on Saturday when he had a seven-shot league going into the final hour. They were like, is there any doubt in your mind that you're going to win tomorrow? He said, no. So all that, he's chirped Randall-Cambly, who Chambly had gone on.

And I believe he said, you know, there's very few. people that are in this top tier. He listed, you know, the golf that Tiger was playing, and then he listed Roy McElroy and Dustin Johnson and like actively left Brooks Kebka off that list. And Brooks Kebka came out and just completely trounced and dominated the field at the PGA championship. He's the fourth player in the history of golf to win two different majors back to back. He, of course, is going to be teeing it up as the back-to-back U.S. Open Champion at Pebble Beach

next month, which we will be out at. And now he's won back-to-back PGA championships. This one was really the closest it ever got was on the 14th hole on Sunday. That was really the only time that the winner was in question, the entire freaking tournament. And it only lasted for like 10 minutes. But DJ made a run. I think he got to 8 under. And Brooksie, even though he teed off at 12 under, he had made yet another bogey on 14.

It was like his third bogey in a row. That T-Shower landed right at my feet. Thank you. Shout to PJ of America for giving us that inside access. Almost hit Trent right in the dick. It did. I almost shit my pants. It's the closest I've come to shitting my pants in a long time. And he hit the T-shot.

And he's already collapsing. He bogey the last three holes before that, yeah? So he's already, you know, in a house of horrors, as Frankie likes to say. And I'm waiting for this ball to land on the green somewhere. And it just lands two feet in front of me. And I legitimately almost pooped my pants. DJ was making that run. He birdied 15.

We heard a huge war. We were standing on 14, like Trent was saying. We almost shoot his pants. He almost got hit by golf ball by Brooks Kevka. And we heard a massive roar on 15. That was when the chills started to come. Big time. Because crossing over the road at Beth Page from 14 to 15,

and you know you're going to the final stretch on Sunday, and we're walking with this unbelievable access inside the ropes right behind Brooks Kepka. And Harold Varner, the third. Shout out. Shout out, our guy. Explain the scene, the 15-16 scene. Walking over to the 15th T-box after Brooks Kepka had just bogeed three in a row or two of the row. Dude, he bogeed.

So let me do this in my head. He bogeed 10. he bogeed no he didn't bogey 10 11 12 13 14 yes I think he bogeed 4 holes in a row right so that was like now we cross over the road we walk onto the 15T and when you're standing on the 15th T with the access that we have from our vantage point

you see the 15th T right behind that is a huge gallery of people watching the 15th T and behind them is the 16th green so at one point when we cross over this road They put up on the huge screen at 17, which you can also see that from that same exact viewpoint. You don't have to move your head. You see all three things in the line. They put up that Brooks now was minus 9. DJ was minus 8 and the whole place went crazy.

And now we're on 15T. And everything's in this one little, like, just singular line of just amazing drama. And all of a sudden we see Brooks Capka drill one down the middle and then Dustin's putting for Bertie right behind him. I said it's felt like the scene out of my favorite movie for the love of the game. Oh my God, for the love of the game. The greatest game of the play, which is also a great movie for the love of the game. Yeah, good movie. Kevin Costner.

I believe so. Unbelievable. Is that right? Yeah. It throws like the perfect game against the, my thing. Is that the natural? No, for the love of the game, he's a Detroit Tiger. He's a pitcher.

He's throwing the perfect game and he keeps having flashbacks every inning about like his life. Oh, yeah. I nailed that. Frankie, you fucking nailed it. I should have said it. I should have the game. Kevin Costner. So anyway, it felt like the movie, the greatest game ever played.

It's like old school sports. Like the people are waving their hats, the cheering. Like some people are like want the carnage. Other people just want Brooks to close it out. Some people want DJ to come back. Everything just happened in this moment. It was so cool to see that. Because that's what everyone was waiting for.

New York sport fans and sport fans in general love the drama, the carnage. They love to have that shit. They love storytelling. And it felt like we were about to have a story. It was insane. Also, people, on 14, when Brooks hit his T-shot over the green, almost killed Trent, and then chipped it back over the green and had 15 feet. It was very clear he was going to make bogey. DJ chance started to erupt. Like the crowd started to turn on Brooks. And you can tell, like, the New York crowd was rowdy. Saturday, Sunday. People were boozed up. They started yelling shit. You get these massive crowds of people that are a bunch of like these Long Island, you know, people.

And they have a little bit of a record. What did you say? They have a little bit of a record. A little bit of a history for screaming for kind of getting a little bit rowdy out there. And they started to finally turn, right? You could kind of feel it like wanting to boil over people wanting to be like, you know what? Fuck Brooks Scott. Yeah.

We want this to be a golf tournament. It could have been anybody in those two positions of Brooks and DJ. It would have been them chanting the name of the guy coming up. Like they just wanted to see entertaining golf action. Nobody wanted to go out all weekend long. You get these tickets. You make the commute from wherever you come. You battle the crowds and all this, that.

You battle a concession lines. Like you want to see some drama. You want to see an intense. couple shots or when they finally come through your hole you want to see somebody as a big fucking put to stay one ahead or something like that and finally they started to get it and that crowd on 14 they started to legitimately chant DJ DJ at Brooks Keppko while Brooks Kepp was playing the hole and then after he did bogey 14 running over to 15 the crowd sprinting sprinting down that hill like chasing brooks kepko over there was off the charts then unfortunately like DJ

boge 16 boge 17 Brooks rips a drive right down the middle on 15 hits in the middle of the green, two putts, rips another drive right down the middle on 16. And at that point, the golf turner was kind of over. But it was that we got a little bit of a glimmer of hope, and it was crazy to see the pandemonium. The Ryder Cup out there in 2024 may end to golf. Yeah, the sport will just be over.

I mean, the shit that they were yelling at those players, even when we were around the eighth green, anybody who knows Beth Page Black, the eighth green, that downhill part three over the water. And then the green is legit a stadium. Like, they're just huge mounds. and hills all around the green. So we were standing just to the right side of the green

where there's only like inside the ropes access. That's not a big deal. And you could just hear everyone screaming everything. Every two seconds, someone just yelled something new that. You could just hear every word that they said. At what point I think I turned to Trent. I'm like, that's just never. Or maybe it was Lurch was that was with us at the time.

And I said, this is just never going to end. Those people up there, they keep chanting things and they keep saying things as the guys are reading the greens. That will never stop. You can't stop them. they're just going to keep going. And luckily they did stop, which is another thing we can just talk about quickly.

It is incredible that when you're at these golf tournaments and there's 150,000 people around these freaking holes, which also could be just an overestimation of how many people are around the holes. Yeah, no, you're not good at that. That we just, as a people, as a people, we just stop talking when these guys, like, align up their puts and step up to the tea. We just trust these fans and, like, these people that go to football games, like, everyone just stops.

and we just are unbelievably respectful when this guy's going to play his shot. And then they just erupt right afterwards. It's an unbelievable moment. It's eerily quiet. Like, not one person does it. And that's what makes the sport amazing. I'm not saying to go out and fucking do that because that's everything that's wrong with the sport when they do that. But it's like being able to go crazy and just chant for or against your guy.

And then as he steps into the ball, it's just boom. It's like someone hit mute. It's really a credit to us humans. Credit to us humans. Especially the ones who are consuming mass amounts of alcohol. Oh, they just stop. They're like, they'll get in a fist, they'll push people around the yell stuff but in that with that little window where a guy's

about to hit a shot they are just dead quiet yeah it's incredible that these folks and you know they're they're they're kind of like gamesmanship sportsmanship really is just out the fucking window for 99% of the day but they will never cross that line no where they all look at each other and and those many people as frankie says 150 000 people around one hole which i don't think it's just physically possible will just be dead silent for like the 10 seconds that that a guy has right before he hits his shot and through his full swing. They will be dead silent.

It is unreal that they have, like that's where their ethical boundary hits. It's like, oh, no, no, we will not, we will not be caught saying or making a noise while this guy hits.

I think also being a part of that silence is like cool, right? Like being a part of the thing where it's like, shh, it's about to hit. Like that is like, that makes it feel just so much more dramatic.

And anybody who breaks that gets roundly booed and like, cussed out by the people around the head. And probably arrested, yeah. Probably arrested. But Sunday, and then we did. Frankie tweeted out an unreal video of us walking up 17 to 18T with Brooks Kepka, the crowd going nuts and then walking all the way up 18.

It got a little bit dicey when hit his T shot into the left fescue. He had a dog shit lie. I guess we found out people tweeting that the coverage missed it. They were showing some dog shit interview while Brooks went ahead, jumped into that fescue he lied just above the bunker to the left of the fairway on 18. goes right over in that same area. And then chopped out and ended up getting up and down for par and one by two. But in that moment, it looked like, okay, if he struggles to get out of here, like,

he might have a big putt to win the golf tournament. But had he duffed that shot out of that fescue and goes right into the bunker with like a now bad lie, and then he has to chip out there, you're right. It becomes an actual golf hole and a golf tournament. Does he do that? And I can't believe they missed that coverage. That's unbelievable. Because that shot was crazy.

Had one foot in the bunker, one foot in the fescue. And the ball, I think, was in the fescue. And he did his Brooks, he got a good thing, and he hopped right in there and hit in no time. Yeah. So, I mean, you know, on one hand, like, the reason they missed it is because he plays so fast. But on the other hand, like, you know he plays fast. He's been covered him for years now when he made your championship.

So, like, of course he jumps in there. He hits it really fast. We were standing maybe 20 feet away from him when he hit that shot. At that point, the golf tournament was over. He kept in his post round took kind of another little, he basically acknowledged that he's well aware of some of the stuff that, that Brando Chambly has said. Chambly had said about Brooks Kepka, his talent is unbeniable.

But I've heard people say this. You extrapolate from accomplishment. You infer qualities from a human being like he's really tough. Maybe he is. I don't know. I've got to say I still need to be convinced. Brooks Kepka would say in the post-tournament, you know, I'm the champion press conference. Telling me I wasn't tough, that pissed me off.

That really pissed me off. And he, of course, used that to go ahead and win this golf tournament and win it pretty much going away. Again, it got close. We described all that, but he was dominating the entire time. Brooks Kepka said something in the press conference where, this is paraphrasing, but he said, every golf shot a hit, I know where it's going, which is just an amazing thing to say. It seems very simple, but to just know exactly where the golf ball is going every time you hit it, is that's just how you dominate a tournament that's at Bethpage Black.

For anyone listening that hasn't watched Brooks Kepka up close, and we got to fortunately walk pretty much four straight days inside the ropes with him because we that first group when it was Molinari him and Tiger we followed him a lot of the time and then obviously Saturday, Sunday we were right there with him he's giving us fistpoms no big deal and uh and and

watching him drive the golf ball is magical. He swings so hard he takes a full lash at it and that thing goes dead fucking straight. The amount of times it goes dead straight how far you see it sail out there how the sound

that it makes and then just how purely it holds its line and maybe does like a little bit of a cut or a little bit of a draw is outrageous to witness in person crazy ball flight crazy ball flight and that's coming after we just had a perfect I mean we talked about in the last

the tiger thing yeah had to have been on the last podcast we were just behind tiger in the range we watched tiger hit a thousand balls this week and Brooks Keppka still takes your breath away watching him do it like Tiger Woods the greatest golfer of all time did it right in front of us and watching Brooks Kebka was like just as awe-inspiring like I had I couldn't keep my eyes off of his swing.

Well, there's also a large difference between doing it in the range and, like, stepping up at Bethpage Blah with those, those, like, unbelievably tight, narrow fairways and him just ripping one right down the middle. Most athletic swing every steps up there like a lineman. And the way he looks down at the ball, it's so athletic. And he just comes through the ball thousand miles an hour. It's crazy that he has that accuracy while doing that. It's unreal. It was awesome to watch. Peter Millar's Seaside is the best in casual resort apparel designed with a special fabric.

If you kind of step back and think that Dustin Johnson Who's got I believe 20 wins on the PGA tour Has one major championship And Brooks Kepka has four That is just a statistic That is hard to kind of wrap your brain around Jordan Speeth Has three major championships

So he's now got more majors than Speeth And Phil Mickelson has five. Roy McElroy has four. So Brooks Kepka, I mean, he just has major wins with not, like, I think he, how is he have two PJ Tour wins? Outside of, yeah, I think he's got like six or seven total maybe, six, something like that. There was a hypothetical we had a few months ago. I can't remember the specifics of it, but we were like, what if there was a guy who just won majors only and didn't win any, like, regular tournaments? What would he be like? And we're just finding out that it's Brooks Kepka. That's Brooks Kepka. That's exactly who he is. Roy McElroy tied for eighth.

Nice little backdoor top 10 for Rory. He looked like he was going to miss the cut. He's like a million over on his second round. And then just kind of like, I think he played his final stretch at like five under to barely make the cut. And then ended up backdoor top ten. I feel like Roy does that a good amount. Tiger missed cut. You know, I guess the big question would be like, are we concerned?

He wins the Masters. He doesn't play for a month. He doesn't play a single golf tournament. Shows up at Bethpage Black. Didn't practice at all on Wednesday. Was a ghost. Didn't come out to the golf course at all. and then missed the cup.

Lost by what, like 17 shots playing against Brooks Keppka, I think, for two rounds of golf. Yep. Tiger looked incredible on the range. He looked incredible from Monday the second we saw him. I mean, we looked like I would have put all the money in the world just looking at him coming out of the car when we saw him arrive at Beth Page. He was going to win this tournament. He was just going to go full Terminator on everyone. And then when we heard that he wasn't going to be there on Wednesday and he didn't play and there were some rumors going around the golf course that he was sick.

someone said it was coming out both holes at one point. We did have a source say that. We had a source saying it was coming out both ends. We're like, okay, like, this isn't good. At one point, I think I texted a buddy saying, Tiger's going to withdraw from the tournament tomorrow. I was just, like, convinced that he wasn't going to play. And then he showed up and he just didn't look good.

I mean, people on TV were saying he kind of looked like a little old and sluggish this week. Like, I think Tiger just, I think he honestly had like a bug and he was a little sick. I know people are going to think that I'm just making excuses for our guy. But he clearly just wasn't on top of his game this week. and something changed midweek. We were there. Like, you can't, you can't tell me it didn't.

Because he was fucking on fire playing on the range. I know that's just range sessions, but he was hitting it pure. That's my takeaway. He looked awesome on the range. And just outside of the hitting balls. Like, he just looked good. He's smiling. He looked great.

When he arrived, he was, like, in short sleeves where everybody else was freezing. And he was just kind of chilling there, doing like, almost like bopping around in the parking lot. On the range, Rory came up to him. He's giving him like a bro hug. Kids came up to him and chirped him at one point, turned around and was laughing. He was in great mood, great spirits, and then disappears for a day, comes out, confirms that he was sick. Who knows, like, the severity of that. Didn't look great.

Did look a little sluggish. Couldn't hit a fairway. Double bogus his first hole, and it was just over from there. So my main takeaway is no. Like, I'm not, I'm not nervous. I'm not panicked. I don't think he is either. He said afterwards, which I think is something that's kind of very telling was like, look,

there's going to be sometimes where my body just isn't moving the way it needs to. And when that happens, it's just a bummer. And when you're 43 years old, you've had eight million surgeons. You've had a fusion. Your back is legit, just a fuse together like steel rod. You're going to have ties where it ain't perfect. And I think that's kind of that combined with the sickness and all that. It just wasn't his week.

He is the Masters Champs. No, I don't think that's a great quote from him being like, I'm the Master's champ. I'm 43. Things are going okay. Things are fine. Yeah. So I'm not too worried. He, of course, won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, which is where the U.S.

Open is in a month by 15 strokes in 2000. He's won some PGA tour events there as well. It's not as long as, uh, death page. It's going to play much shorter, but he does have to hit fairways. So he's got to, he's got to figure that out. He did figure that out in order to win at Eastlake, in order to win in Augusta, where he had to move it both ways. You got to move it right to left a lot. He can't just rely on his little butter cut all the time. He was able to figure that out. So him at Pebble Beach, I'm not concerned. Jordan Spee. T. Speeth, T. Thirt, for a guy who everybody says his

whole games in shambles, who we watched him on the range, and it kind of his mannerisms and his reaction to every swing. Seems like he might think his games. I mean, the way Frankie and I were talking about him on the last podcast, we sound like he was going to retire from golf. I am about to admit that I do not think I'm a good assess. Like, I can't assess. I can't assess.

I can't assess things that are going to happen for the tournament just based off the driving range. I thought I could just by looking at it. It's almost like walking around the paddock at a horse event or like a horse race and looking at the horses and seeing how they're going to race. Like some people just have a knack for it. And I thought I'd be able to do that. with the range getting that much access, but I sent out a couple text messages on Wednesday night.

I said, hot takes. Tiger Woods is going to win the tournament, and Jordan Speeth's going to miss the cut based off of what I saw in all the practice sessions, and both of them just flip-flopped. It's like Jordan Spath finished T3, and Tiger Woods was home already on his couch by the time that he did that. So I was just wrong. I would say, you know, for your first time being a range rat, he looked like dog shit on the range.

I'm not surprised that your, you know, your radar's off. You're right. We're judging, like, the next one is when we're really going to know. This was our fur, this is like the test case that we see the first time. The next time is what you base the next one off of. Yeah, and I said it on the last show that I think Jordan Speed, that's just his process. I think if you watch some of the range of 2015 when he's winning major after major, I think you probably would have had a very similar session that you would have witnessed.

Like, that's how he were. He's jittery, you know. He was doing kind of a Sergio Garcia regrip a lot. It felt like over the ball, kind of like a re-address and like yippy almost. But that's kind of how speed is. He's a little jittery. He talks to his golf ball all the time. He kind of reacts.

We saw him hitting some practice putts that he, second he hit the putt. He would be like, oh, my God, Jesus Christ. And he looked at his putter. He looked at the putter face and just smacked it back down in the green and, like said something to himself. I'm like, this guy's going to miss a tournament. Turns out he didn't. No.

He didn't finish T3. We had our first interaction with Spath, Jordan Spath on Saturday, Saturday night after we followed him all day. Very funny first moment where we walked up. up to the practice screen, you know, and that's kind of our area. We hang around the practice screen, and we saw Jordan Spath putting, and we're kind of, you know, we're trying to figure it out. We're trying to, we're not used to the situation.

And we're kind of talking like, does he, is he one of our, does he like us? We don't know. Especially since, as on the show. Especially at that spot of where we were doing this, like we had had some success. Like, we'll get to some of the other stories that happened around the practice screen. Yeah. But we had had some success in this area. So we saw Jordan Spath on the putting green.

and Trent, I think at one point was like, he hates us. I was up until, you know, we talked to him, I was convinced that he did not like us. We're a pretty big show. We're pretty prominent in the golf world. Like you were saying, we've had some of his friends on. We're definitely on his radar. And you think, I believe he follows you on Instagram. Follow me on Insta.

It just seems true. Obviously, you think that would be a point in the favor of him liking us. But I thought that would be the first step in him maybe coming on the show. But then just nothing would happen. And then when the arrival, we did the arrival. video he kind of didn't walk by us i don't know i just that's just the vibe that i got about jordan's and as i was saying that he looked at frankie and gave him a head nod and was like what's up boys yeah it was i heard in the background uh trent just doing this he hates us jordan spieth hates us

he doesn't like us and then within that sentence i just said so up jordan and you guys are like just stopped they're like what just happened ahead of us and i i turned around like he looked me right in the eye gave me a little head nod and i just said what's up i don't know why i said what's up i hadn't done that all week i never once spoke up like that and i just said what's up and he like nodded back. I think you said sup. You said, sup. I think you said sup.

I said sup. Yeah, you said sup. You gave my, you returned the head nod and gave us a sup. I think I may say it was sup. You said sup. I remember vividly.

I was there. Because I was in the middle of making you taste. Why are you changing? I don't usually say sup. I know. That's why you were surprised you like I never said sup. I mean, you said sup.

I mean, I mean you said sup. I mean you said sup. I mean you said sup. What do you mean? Because we talked about it afterwards that you said sup. What's up? You don't know if I'm saying

SEP or what's up. That's what I mean right now. You don't know which what I'm saying from three feet behind me. We talk to you. There's a very big difference between Sup and what's up. I don't know that there is to you behind me and you couldn't hear with the wind.

Oh, now the wind is a factor. You're bringing in the wind. I'm just letting you know in my vocabulary. I'm just telling you within my vocabulary, I don't know that I just say S sup. You were flabbergasted. He gave you a little nod and you went, sup. That is stunning.

Must have blacked out. And I think I might have blacked out when we talked about it right after. So then in the middle of his round, after he finished out on 17. And again, that's the same spot we're at on Sunday when Frankie posted that video of the guys walking up to 18T. It's rowdy as hell. There's a massive stadium feel around 17 as well. And so it all kind of like converges at the player area where the players walk from 17 to 18. And Spieth is walking right by us.

The three of us are standing there. And he looks right ass. He goes, what's up, guys? as he's walking up to 18 and we were all like oh unreal and then afterwards we did the hang around thing you know we're trying to find a strategic spot where's he got to walk past we don't want to look like clingy and weird but like also we want to get his attention what do we found a spot to sit he can't walk it across a practice screen it's like trying to hit on a girl totally same thing we're kind of hashed it out what period does she have like in school like when does she not have class when she

going to be at her locker like where should we strategically place ourselves like that's a high school that's literally a high school like what boys like talk about like how they're going to like talk to their crush like where do I do it I'm so nervous where do I think she's going to sit in class I'm going to sit maybe just back to the left of her so get her attention a little bit that's exactly what he did with space and it worked out he came walking across the practice screen frankly spoke up what did you say Jordan at that point we Jordan yeah we had been around this practice green so much and I think guys were kind of like walking around us and we were nervous about being too like you just said too clingy to like way in their face like just walking up to them like just walking up to them like you're like you're nervous about being too like you just walking up to them like you're like just walking up to them like. like all media does and shove a camera in their face or a mic. We wanted it to be natural. And he kind of made eye contact with me. And again, I just, what did I say that time? Jordan.

Jordan. And he just, he kind of gave us that like laugh and then walk over. Like he was on a path. And then he gave like that chuckle, look down, walk over. Like, all right, I got to go see these guys.

Came over and we chatted with him for like two minutes and we put that video out. It was great. We just kind of, what do you say? What do you all stuff? Oh, I wish I could say that. Love y'all stuff.

I love y'all stuff. Hey, yeah, I love y'all stuff. There's no eye. Love y'all's stuff. Yeah. Oh, it's so smooth and so nice. Hey guys. Love y'all's stuff.

It feels like a wave. Love y'all's stuff. Love y'all stuff. He was very nice. We got it. We asked him about the golf shoes on the, on the wearing him through a tournament, and he was very cool about that. He defended us there. He's like, no, no, that's fine.

You guys are walking the same terrain. We're walking. He, uh, I will say, he just delivers fantastic eye contact when you're talking to him. He makes you feel like you're the most important person in the world. Look, shit right in the fucking eye and talks to you're like, I'm looking. And we all said afterwards. That's what I said. I told you guys afterwards that at a certain point during the interaction, Jordan Spieth is looking me in the face.

And I thought in my head, Jordan Spith is looking at me, look at me in the face right now. Dude, that's what I did with Jake Owen. Yeah. And that's why I felt like I was making so many weird noises during that interview because I felt like I... That's where you went, oh. It's because I felt like I had to make responses to this guy who's telling me and only me a story. Every story he told Frankie. He's like looking at me like in Frankie, you know what else I did with film?

I said, I'm like, what? I'm looking at him. He's fucking four feet away from me. He's just telling me a story. I'm like, what did you do, Jake? Like everything you said. So that's how I felt with Jordan. Yeah.

By the way, me, Jordan and Trent are just best friends. Oh, that picture we got. That's so good. That's unfortunate. We are just best pals. I'm laughing. I hate to plug the Instagram again, but you know, it's just something that we have to do because we're talking about it.

It's about reference. At Frankie Borelli, two R's and two L's. You're just going to go there. You're going to see an unbelievable picture of Jordan, Spath, Trent and myself, just having a grand old time. You can also see that picture at Barston, No, but the original spot is on Frankie Bril. How often are you going to plug your own Instagram?

I'm on a hot week right now. I think I gained, I had a nice little week of bumping of the numbers, so I'm just trying to ride that out. Yeah, I mean, we all bumped, and you're just over here, like talking about it.

Well, maybe I'm doing things a little differently, you guys. I'm like, it's like guerrilla warfare out here. Who can plug their stuff more? Yeah, no, I get it. You're plugging your own thing. I'm plugging the shit out of it.

Go, check out what Barstle Trent? Oh, yeah, yeah, that one. I'm plugging you. That's a good on thank you. I mean, you know, that's how some people do it. What's Jake's Twitter? Bottom line is that Jordan Spee doesn't hate it. Jordan Spee likes us.

He came over and said, love y'all's stuff. Oh. And looked us all right in the eye. We chatted it up. He said, like, you know, you can wear those shoes. And then he went out of his way afterwards. Say, I'm going to have to do y'all's podcast sometime. So we're going to hold him to do that.

We have to come on y'all's podcast sometimes. That was the worst thing he's ever done to himself because now he will not not do that podcast. Right. Jordan Speath will do four-play podcast before he perishes. That's a fact. Yeah. Don deal. I mean, he has to.

He said he would do it. Yeah. If he considers himself a man of his word. All right, don't threaten him now. No, I'm saying, it's not a threat. You're fucking ruining it. It's not a threat. I said, if he considers himself a man of his word, he will follow through.

You're right? That's not a threat. There's nothing there's nothing. I didn't know where we were going on it. There's nothing that goes. What am I going to say? If he doesn't do it, like, I'm going to do something about it? You think I'm going to do something about it?

I don't know, you're crazy. I'm not that crazy. I love Jordan Span. I'm going to do y'all's podcast. I'm going to have to do your y'all's podcast. Love y'all stuff. Love y'all stuff. Out of that page this last weekend is very sunny, beautiful sunny weather the last few days.

I was rocking sunglasses the entire time. A lot of folks sliding in my DMs. Hey, Riggs, those look really sexy. Those look really awesome and fashionable. Where did you get those sunglasses? The answer is shady rays. They're an independent sunglasses company. They're not just a big corporation.

They're not overcharging for shades. None of that stuff. Their shades are polarized. They hold up no matter what you do outside. So you want to save a Benjamin, you might want to give them a shot. Craziest thing about Shadyrays is the warranty. They told us this is the best warranty in all of eyewear. We have no choice but to trust them.

Free replacements if shades are lost or broken for any reason. It doesn't matter what happens. Dropped in the ocean, a lake, anything. They'll replace it. Try that with your high-priced shades and see what they tell you. They'll probably tell you some very bad news. Plus, the quality of every pair is guaranteed for life. It's a long time.

If you ever have any craftsmanship issue, They will replace them at no cost for you for life, which is absolutely outrageous. They're also doing exclusively for our listeners the best deal they have to offer. This is a Black Friday-esque, a Black Friday level deal. They're going to give you guys, if you use Code 4Play, they're going to give you 50% off two pair or more. Also known as buy one, get one free. You get two pairs for 45 bucks. Again, these things are awesome.

just a lot of different things that happen. I kind of wrote these down. The Robbie Mac story, I'll give a quick background and you guys can tell what actually happened. Yeah, because you weren't there. Well, I was there originally when you guys weren't there and then you guys were there when I wasn't there.

Robbie Mac is Tiger's guy, awesome guy. First time I ever met him was, I didn't even know he existed. to be honest. You hear, like, Tigers team, Tigers in a circle, this, that, where's the bigger Tiger guys there are on the planet? But when I was out in Shadow Creek and I was doing anything, I was scouring every inch of Las Vegas trying to get a couple minutes

anytime I could with Tiger Woods. Finally, on that Saturday morning, when I ended up getting like my picture in my like two minutes with Tiger, they rolled me into the locker room at Shadow Creek. It was the guy I knew. And then he introduced me to Robbie Mac. And Robbie Mack at the time was like, hey, man, love what you guys are doing for the game with Foreplay. I'm a big fan.

blah, blah, blah, blah. Love y'all stuff. He basically gave me a love y'all's stuff. But he was. He's like, you guys are great for the game. Like, you know, I love it. And I could tell he made a couple references. Like, he was genuinely into the show.

I was like, holy shit, this is Tiger's guy. He ended up making it happen, clearing out the room, getting me those two minutes with Tiger, shook his hand afterwards. Like, thanks a lot, Robbie Mac, whatever. So then on the range, when we had our whole little session and you guys mentioned it on the last show, that Robbie Mac kind of made eye contact with me

when they were standing right next to Tiger and was like, oh, Riggs and I came over. and I gave a big congratulations on the win at the Masters. I talked to him about how big of a roar he got when he gave Tiger a hug and all that. I was like, oh, they remember us. Fuck, yeah, we're in. Then that was it. And Tiger went away.

He didn't come out and practice at all Wednesday. Thursday, we walked inside the ropes with them. And then Friday, he teed off in the afternoon. Now, I was elsewhere. I think I was in the media center or something like that, finishing something up. You guys were out on the practice screen. And then when I met you guys on the practice screen, you said you will not believe what happened to us. We did say that word for word.

What happened to us is something that I'll remember for the rest of my life. I think that's fair to say, Trent? Correct. Tiger Woods is at Beth Page Black, my home golf course. For many people that don't know, I'm from Long Island, one of the greatest pieces of land on this great country. In this great country? Get to the fucking story. Tiger Woods is putting on this practice screen.

We were just hanging out. We didn't know he was going to be putting. We didn't know where we were doing. We had this plan that we were all going to meet up. I think we had an interview a little bit later in the day. And, like, Trent and I, we met up with some people. we got back and we're like let's just go to the putting green i think tiger's probably warming up right now like whatever we're waiting up there tiger just comes rolling over there's only a couple holes on this

front putting green at beth page black and he chooses the one like right by us and we're just in awe that tiger woods is not just like he felt i felt like he was cg i just right in front of how many feet away from me was you guys i'm not kidding and i know i'm bad with depths he was no joke five feet away from us i would have said less three feet like pretty close like when we saw him on the rate that's a tapping he's a tapping away when we We were behind him on the range. We were close to him. We were 15 feet on the range.

But it felt different. Yeah, the putting green. He's just kind of strolling around. You can hear the way, like, you can hear everything. Like,

him gripping the club. Like, everything about Tiger Woods was just right in front of us. What did it sound like when he gripped the club? It just felt like, I don't even know what it's,

you could hear the leather in his, like, just the, like, I don't even know what the grip is made out of? Yeah, I can't, what is it alligator skin?

I don't know what the hell grips are made out of? Alligator skin? I don't know. You think that's it? I don't know. What are grips made out of? Leather? Leather.

Even those like the squishy ones? Yeah. Yeah. I don't think they're made out of alligators. I hope they are. I mean, I hope they are. All due respect to alligators, but.

I mean, I think you probably get an alligator skinned grip, but I just didn't know what gave it that texture like the bumping. I mean, I guess they just do that to the leather. You know? I think so. I don't think they can only get that from alligators.

It's just rubber. All right. Well, it's just rubber. rubber. Like, I think they can achieve that texture without having to go kill an alligator. It's not leather. It's rubber. Skin it. It's rubber. So we're all wrong. So rubber, these rubber grips?

Yeah, it is rubber. Yeah, it is just rubber. These rubber, there's people that are listening to this are screaming rubber at us. We're saying leather. Leather. We're saying leather. We're fucking idiots. Like it's a wallet? Unreal. Talking about wallet. It sounded like leather. Whatever. The sound of the grip doesn't matter. What matters is that Tiger Woods was putting right in front of us and he was draining puts per usual because what he does on the

putting up on the putting, you know, we talked about in the last show. he puts down two T's on either side of where he makes contact with the ball and he drains putts for like a half an hour and just doesn't miss. At that point, I think at this point he ditched that little tutorial. I mean, that little practice. He was just kind of wandering around putting. I was like, unbelievable. Tiger was just rolling around this green putting.

Anyway, he's done putting, grabs the two balls, walks over, and he goes over to his bag. Him and Robbie Mac are talking. Robbie Mac, the legend. No one knows what the hell the guy does. He's just in Tiger's back pocket. No one knows why he's there, but he's just there doing amazing. things just like in the mix of Tiger Woods. He just makes Tiger Woods life like just go smoothly.

It's amazing. Golf like personal logistics, scheduling. He's just there to make sure everything's good for Tiger. So Tiger's tea time is within like the next 10 minutes. He kind of goes over to his bag. I look away. I'm like, I look at Trent. I'm like, that was a fucking incredible experience. I can't believe we just did that. And Trent goes, oh man. I'm like, what's

going on? I turn over my shoulder and he's already making, Trent's already making eye contact. It's Robbie Mac walking right over to us. I'm like, what's going on? I think Trent, do you stuff you said in your head you're like robbie max walking over here i did i said no i said i just made eye contact with robbie mac and he was headed our way and i was like what's going are we in trouble for standing too close to tiger at this moment like what are we doing are we getting a restraining order because whatever that guy wants to happen will happen robbie mac comes over greets us with a nice

dat and goes here you go here you go guys and he has two balls in his hands he has one to me he has one to trent and he goes this is for taking care of the boss man and he hands us two balls that tiger woods had just fucking putt with at the Bethpage Black on the Friday of a major championship. Yep. And Trent and I said, oh, my God, in our heads, and we couldn't believe it. I started getting a little tingly sensations throughout my body. Robbie Mac then gives us both another dat and says, let's go, let's do this. And I said, let's fucking go. I got real low under my breath. And he just walked into the distance. Unbelievable moment. I got chills. I mean, the fact that that happened to us, I mean, that's just, we are now in Tigers Camp.

Maybe we're an extended part of Tiger's game, but we take care of the boss man. That's what we do. Robbie Mac said it. Thanks for always taking care of the boss man. Unbelievable. We are in some degree. We are part of Tiger's team. We're part of the team.

We take care of the boss man. Of course you take care of the boss man. And that comes from him. Directly from the team, the inner circle? I consider like Robbie Mac him. Like I consider like Robbie Mac an extension of Tiger Woods' brain for what? What I've seen at Beth Bade Black, he is an extension of Tiger Woods. You know in Harry Potter how Lord Voldemort's that are like little parts of himself?

100%. Robbie Mac is a Tiger Woods. To end Tiger Woods, you have to end Robbie Mac as well. Have to. Have to. Like Joe La Cava, Tiger. Or Joe La Cava, Robbie Mac, Steinberg, maybe one of his kids. Just one.

Just one. Let's be too obvious if you put in both of them. You know who else that is a whole crux? Steve Williams One that you would never even Like you think you got them all And you're like man Where's that last one?

And Steve Williams Do all their ups and downs that they've had Like he's still carrying that Hall Crux Hall Crux or Hall Crux Hall Crux? Is there an L in there? Isn't it H-O-R-C-U-X Hor Crux?

Oh boy I don't know I think it is. Hor Crux Like I think Right Like if you want to really Really kill off Tiger Woods You got to go all the way down

to fucking New Zealand You got to find Steve Williams And whatever bar he's in Whatever motorcross fucking race he's racing You gotta find that motherfucker and kill him Correct Because part of Tiger Woods lives in Steve Williams 100%.

And the bottom line is part of Tiger Woods Lives in Robbie Mac And an extension of Tiger You know It's what it's another one The big snake in Harry Potter Yes Like Robbie Mac slither on over to you guys

Handed you a couple of golf balls It was like that should take care of balls I think there also has to be an animate object That is a heart crux Like is it the sky It's the spider It's definitely the putter 100% the Scotty Cameron Potter is also part of Tiger Woods.

If you want to get rid of Tiger Woods, you're going to have to melt that thing. And every time you try and touch it, it like screams. And it just shows you all your demons. Not to, not. It just shows you all your demons. All your worst fears. You pick up the putter and just starts screaming and then you just see just like dark. I'm just covered in cockroaches.

Yeah. For some people, it's like they're giving like a massive speech. They can't, they can't remember the words. And you know how you have to like defeat the horrocks by doing something, right? Like Ron had to like run through his fear and like and slam it with the sword. Yeah. Like we have to nail a 15 foot put at Augusta with it, like while having cockroaches all over ourselves. And like we may never do it.

And if you can't do that, Tiger Woods will never die. Never doubt. Never. I love that there's one in the Scotty Cameron. Yeah. It has to be one. Duh. Or another club.

You can't be the driver. It may even be one in Scotty Cameron the man. They're all over the place. What a little wrench that would be. But you guys, you had your mom with Robbie Mac. You got the golf ball. We have one left. What?

We saw a lot of families out there this weekend, a lot of dads, kids that were fans of the show. I have to talk to some of those dads about, you know, some of the things that we say on the show. Right. I don't know if it's, you know, proper. I don't know if it's appropriate. They want us to clean up our mouths. Oh, tread daddy. They're going to do a little.

Cali-Dap. You know how many Cali-daps we're going to do in California, by the way? We're going to callie-dabbing up a storm. You think the Californians are going to know to Calli-Dap you?

Again, same area, practice green. We're kind of hanging around. Ultimately led to a situation where Frankie had to make a very difficult decision. One of the hardest decisions of my life. Why don't you explain what happened, Frank? So, um... Where do you start? I guess I start with that.

You know, this is in my hometown on one of the greatest pieces of land in this great country on Long Island, the Bethpage Black, my home golf course. So I knew a lot of people in the area, right? Like, I have buddies who are police officers and state troopers and security guards. Like, everyone's just in the mix. Like, we know everyone. I knew, like, everyone around the golf course. Turns out that one of my good buddies is a trooper and happened to be assigned to, let's just say Tiger Woods's area, right, for the day, like, for the tournament. He was like every, every trooper gets assigned something in, like, one of my.

really good friends got assigned to Tiger Woods's area. I'm not going to say like where he was throughout the week, but he was just assigned to his area. He said that like, you know, Tiger, I mean, we all know that Tiger loves law enforcement. He loves the troops. Like, he wanted to be a Navy SEAL. He goes through that, like, ridiculous Navy SEAL training, like, on his off-season.

Like, I think, like, in that book, the one with his name, with his face on the front by Armicottayan, it's got his... You can do your story. We'll think about it. Okay. So in the book, they talk about, like, that may have been, like, the reasons, like, his body was, like, deteriorating.

He was working too hard. at some point. It's doing like fucking Navy SEAL preparations to play a golf tournament. Tiger Woods, that's the name of the book. It's got his face on the front. If you want to find it, just look for the face or the name,

Tiger Woods. It's all about Tiger Woods. It's all about Tiger Woods, nothing else. So my friend, we're going to call him Torpedo. That's the name, right? That's the name. It's like,

like, they used to call JFK Camelot. Yeah, this guy's name is Torpedo. And Torpedo, and Torpedo, just want that, he said that, like,

Tiger would, like, he got the feeling that Tiger would, like, sign something from at the end of the week, right? Because, like, there's a huge, like, area around Tiger that, you know, was being secured. There's a lot of people in that mix. But, but, uh, I just see, are you typing in JFK, Camelot?

Is that what the word? Oh, you're doing your fact checking yourself. It is Camelot. Because that sounded wrong to me. Yeah, no, that was, yeah, no, that's right. Completely took my, I, I just completely, I just stared at J.EF. I didn't want to, I wanted to double check just why I could correct it in the moment instead of having to do it tomorrow. So anyway, Torpino wanted to get some sign and we should.

saw him on the putting green tiger just missed a cut and we're standing on the putting green and he comes over me he's like yo do you have a sharpie by any chance and i'm like fuck no i don't have a sharpie i'm not gonna get any autographs out here like we're trying to do other shit and there's this area by the putting green and there's all these kids and all these fans that wait for for uh golfers to come through and sign their stuff it's right by where they sign their score cards after 18 right it's like the scoring area it's also the media area where like Amanda ballionis is our good personal friend now who we just like wave to every time we see her oh she's great really really She's unbelievable.

She dominates the player interviews. We did a video with her. It's on the 4Play Twitter account. Is it on the YouTube page? I don't know if it's on the YouTube page. Is it on the YouTube page? It is. Our YouTube page is unbelievable.

Go check it out. Foreplay golf on YouTube, new machine. So I'm like, all right, like, I'll go look for a Sharpie for you. Like, whatever. Like, this is awesome if he's going to sign something for you. So I walk over to this little area. And I'm like, does anyone have a Sharpie? And some people are like, well, no, no, we don't have a Sharpie.

And this little kid reaches out his arm and just hands me a black Sharpie. Cutest little kid. and I know I've been saying some stuff that may be getting spun around about little kids in this podcast last week. He's saying weird shit about kids. This kid's a fucking awesome little kid. Like he's wearing a full golf outfit. He had his like perfect golf shirt on, like the golf pants. His dad's right behind.

It reminded me of like when my dad would take me to a tournament or like any sporting event. Like everything was going for this kid this week. Like he was getting autographs. He was seeing great golf. He was into it like ultimate father's son bonding. And the dad gave a ticket within the Sharpie. basically like you know the little clip on the end of the sharpie yeah he like stuck the ticket in that part of the clip and handed me the sharpie and he goes if we're gonna give you the

sharpie you got to get a signature for my son i'm like holy shit like at this point now this is a loaded sharpie expert move from the dad expert oh way to be on top it wasn't even for me it was for freaking my friend who's gonna go get some torpedoes gonna go get something signed so i'm like holy shit now i got to go give this kid the ticket and hopefully he gets something side for himself and now he's got to get the now the kid needs his thing sign with his Sharpie. So we watched everything go happen. I give the Sharpie torpedo. He walks over in his little area, goes and has his meeting with Tiger. Things go great. Tiger thanks all the law enforcement. There's a whole entire crowd around him. Everyone's like all happy. Tiger's like an

unbelievable guy in those situations, giving them like the time of day to really say bye and thank you. I see pictures getting taken and autographs, whatever. Turns out like 10 minutes later, we kind of like keep our eye off of it for a second. We like turn our head. We look back to this, to like the area, Tiger's gone, his car's gone, just vanished. And everyone that is in the law enforcement has just disappeared. No one's there anymore.

Now I'm like, holy shit, where's this kid's autograph and where's his Sharpie? Like, what is going on now? I keep looking back at the kid. He's looking at me. I'm like, I don't know what happened, man. So now this is at like 7 o'clock a night, let's say. 6.30.

7.30 rolls around. An hour later. We're still waiting by the putting green. We're waiting on people. We're waiting for Brooks. We're waiting for Spath. Like anyone that comes through. I look over at this little area

And that little kid's still standing there looking at me He hasn't moved with his dad Now the area has now depleted to like six people It was 150 now it's like six And I'm talking to you guys, I'm like holy shit I have no idea where these people went with this kid's Sharpie With his ticket I have no idea if it got signed I have no idea what I'm gonna do

He's looking at me like I think he was gonna start crying And he also can't get other things signed because you took his shirt Correct like Ricky walked by Like all these people were walking by And this kid's just staring at him like oh well I guess I can't get anything signed now because I gave my Sharpie to this man so now I now feel like the opposite of Santa Claus like I felt like the Grinch at that point like I'm like I am ruining this kid's life and his dad's looking at me and everything's happening so enough time passed where I started to walk away I'm like I need to get away from the scenario I need to get away from everything that's involved with this little kid because I can't tell him that I lost his Sharpie and I didn't get an autograph for him I can't tell it to him so I end up contacting Torpedo I'm like dude what happened like where is this thing I'm waiting. He's like, bro, you're never going to believe it. Like, Tiger took the kids. Fuck, Tiger took the kid's Sharpie and just put in his pocket by accident. Like, he signed

some stuff for, like, some fans over there, and he put it in his pocket and just left. So now you've got to tell this kid, Tiger took your market. Correct. And the ticket never got signed. So I'm like, I don't know what to do now, man, because I kept telling the kid, I'm going to get it. And I actually, at one point, I didn't even tell you guys this. I walked over to the dad and the kid. I'm like, I think it's good. Like, I saw them have their little moment. I think we got, Like, I think we got it. Like, I set the expectation. And I'm trying to like, what are you doing, man?

They're waiting there for an hour. Now that's just them. It's just the little kid. It's just the dad. They're waiting. And the kid, by the way, keeps saying. And he's like, hey, am I ever going to get my marker back? And I'm like, and we can put that audio in.

We can, yeah. Yeah, that's right. We can put that in. Oh, yeah. He goes, am I ever going to get my marker back? And you can just hear it right there. It's like a little kid who's got the cute voice. Piercing.

Piersing goes through the golf course. Everyone can hear it. Am I going to get my marker back? We're now on like this, this bridge. We're trying to remove ourselves from the situation as far as possible. He's still screaming like, hey, am I ever going to get that thing back so I can just go on and get autographed? I'm like, I don't know, man. Like, I really wish.

I really wish. And now I'm like screaming because I've removed myself from being in their distance. I'm like, I don't know. I just wish I could give it to you, but I can't, man. Something's going on. Tiger took the marker. Tiger Woods took your marker. So it turns out I go over there and I'm like, oh, they start talking to a trooper.

and they're like, I see them like talking to a random trooper. I'm like, all right. They're like, they're like complaining. Like, this guy stole everything. I'm like, I got to go over there and if you're the situation because I'm going to get arrested now. So I go over there and I'm like, listen, guys, like, I'm going to find out what happened. At this point, I acted like I didn't know. I knew the thing was gone.

So I'm like, I'm going to find out what happened and we're going to figure this out. And I faked a phone call. I just put my phone up to my ear and I'm like, torpedo. Like, what happened? Like, where's the thing? Oh, no, really? And I'm like right in front of them. Like, no, really?

God. How do you think you're acting? It was horrifying. It was really bad. And they're just staring at you. I'm like, they saw that my screen never went from like, they actually saw that like the home screen within my.

Like I totally tell. And I look at them like, guys, you're never going to believe this. Like Tiger was signing an autographs for guys over there. And he just put the tape. He put the fucking marker in his pocket. Like I just don't know what to tell you.

I'm so sorry. I didn't get the autograph. I didn't get the autograph. I don't know. I'm so sorry. It's been an hour. I've been trying to figure it out. And the dad like looks like down and disappoint me.

The little kid's like, it's okay and kind of just looks down and I look up at you guys and you're just looking at me like what are you going to do? And I saw Trent like point at his golf ball and I'm like no. I pulled my Tiger Woods,

Robbie Mac golf ball in my pocket. I'm up on the bridge looking down at Frankie and I'm just pointing at it like this. Like you got to make the ultimate sacrifice. You got to make the ultimate sacrifice. No. I looked up at Trent and I'm like, I just put my head down like,

all right, this is the right decision. So I pull out this. I pull, I go in my back pocket. I was carrying this golf ball so, like, carefully that at what point I just put it in my back left pocket because I thought that my chapstick that was in my left pocket was scratching the ball too much. I was like, it was perfectly like, per place in my back pocket. I pull it out.

I give it to the kid. I'm like, hey, man, I couldn't get you the autograph, but this came from Tiger Woods's hands. He putted with this thing. It's got his name on it. This bridge stone ball had Tiger's name on it. I'm like, he used this for practice and the kid grabs a ball and he screams like, awesome, that's so cool. And he's like waving into his dad.

Dad gives me a handshake. He's like, that was unbelievable. Thank you. Thank you. Gives his son a high five. They take a picture with the ball and I'm like, all right, that felt pretty cool. That's an awesome moment to be able to do that because when we're all growing up, all things happened to us like at sporting events. And you never realize that like someone makes it happen.

Like you get like an autograph and like to get that. Like someone may have caught a ball and handed it to you. Like shit like just happened. like people like do stuff so it was cool to do that i'll say that but i do wish i had the tiger woods ball i'm not going to lie like i'm not just going to fucking lie i wish i had the tiger woods but i'm glad the kid had it i just hope he doesn't use it like and flushes it down the toilet because that would make me that would make me like upset that'd be a fucked up thing to do if you flush it down so that's the sharpie that's the sharpie gate so we've got one golf ball left

tiger gave each one of you won frankie had to sacrifice his to get out of a real jam with like a five-year-old kid who was really just just guilt tripping the shit on it's i ever going to get that Marker back? Am I ever going to get that thing back? That thing back. And I just screened back. I don't know. I don't know, man. I was almost in tears.

I hadn't thought about it, but we kept trying to move away from the situation, which just made the kid yell louder and louder at us about if he's ever going to get that thing back. And the answer was no. But he got to Tiger Woods Golf ball out of it. The answer was absolutely no. He's never going to get that back.

Just in case, well, when... That's the only thing we ever heard Roy say, I think. Rory Macaro is that type of guy that I think has the aura that, like, we just, we love to just look at him as well. It's almost like that Tiger Woods effect.

Like, Rory, oh, here comes Rory, here comes Rory. And I wasn't here for this, but you guys saw it. Was I there for it? No, I don't think you were. I wasn't. No, it was me and, I think it was me in Trent. Oh, no, this is why it happened, because you guys were like, oh, we just walked by Rory. And he was trying to muck it up with a trooper.

Yeah, because it had been really cold the first couple days that we were there. I forget what day was. This had to be Wednesday then. Wednesday, yeah. So Monday, Tuesday, it was freezing. And Riggs and I were walking back to our booth, which is right by the range. Shout out to PGA of America. And as we're walking, we see Rory walking with the trooper that he had been assigned for the week. And the only interaction we heard between the two of them was Rory turned to the trooper and said, no, coat today.

That was all he said. And the trooper said, nope, that was our only interaction. And we told this story to Frankie. And we tried to imitate Rory saying, no, count out today. No coat today? And we've realized that it's the most impossible sentence to say with an Irish accent. Yeah. So we've been doing it all week.

We can't get it done. No count today. No coat today? I think no coat. Yeah, because I remember asking you guys, I'm like, how do you say? I was like, was it super awkward or did he just say no coat today? And then you guys are like, no, it was kind of like no coat today. And I was like, I think that the Irish accent doesn't allow you to say no coat today.

In an Irish accent? In an Irish accent. I think you just say no coat today? No couch today? That sounded Australian. It's impossible. We keep fucking Australianizing it. So when we get Rory Macaroor on this podcast, which will happen, I think we're going to.

I mean, that's not like saying like we have anything in place. I just think that we're going to get Rory McElroy on the podcast. Yeah, okay. And we're going to make him say, no co-t today. That's okay. That's Australian. No-coat today. When he comes on, he's going to be blindsided.

Most of the questions will probably be, you know, things that he is hopefully not heard it before. But he's going to hear one where it's like, hey, will you say, no. code today. Hey, buddy, fucking say no code today. Because we were trying to do a question mark at the end of it. Sometimes when you have to do an accent, you got to say something stereotypical before. So it's like, oh, me lucky charms, right? Because I'm Irish too.

I can say I'm 50% Irish. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me lucky charms. Me lucky charms. No code today. Oh, was that? Was that good? Yeah.

Oh, me lucky charms. No code today. I mean, that didn't sound good. You try to roll into it, which I think is the right way to go by. Oh, my lucky charms. No code today. No code today. Ooh, no code today.

You're that's as close as we've gotten all the week. That's as close as we've gotten all the week. Lucky Charms, no co. No cold. Oh, no code today. Lucky Charms has got no coat today? Yeah, now you're making it like, it seemed like Roy's popping out of a rainbow. Oh, well, I love Rory and I can't wait for him.

Oh, we love Roy. I can't wait to hear him say it. Get ready for that. If we ever have a month. Another one was Rom or Mom. Little kid on the little kid at the practice green, trying to get John Rom's autograph, which is a risky thing because you never know when that guy's just going to explode, right?

I mean, that guy, you never know. You don't want to, you don't want to ignite that fire. And, uh, gasoline. He just, he just kept going, wow. And I was like, is that kid calling for his mom or does he want rob? And it got us going on like the rob or mom game. We started playing a game. Yeah, where just randomly, we were just hanging up by the putting green.

One of us would say, one of us would yell those, those, that, and we had the other two would have to guess if he was saying rob or mom. Mom. That's just you said, Rob, man. Ridiculous game. Um, this kid was. so good at the game that every time he said Rom or Mom, it was right in the middle.

It was either he's trying to get an autograph or he is lost and he needs to find his mother. Yeah, it's perfect. No matter how long we practice, we will never be as good at the game as that kid was at the game. At one point you're just saying, um, well, it got to a point where like,

Lurch was trying to play with us and he was just going, um, and we're like, well, that's, you're just forgetting the first letter. You have to say the first letter. That's cheating. So Romer mom was a game. We tried to play. The gallery, one of my favorite parts about the gallery, was yelling at the signboy to spin. Very much enjoyed that when they're yelling at the sign boy to spin.

It's a big gallery thing. Sign boy. Spin, sound boy, spin. And the sign guys fucking walk in dead straight. And then these little kids with these giant sign, then they got to fucking spin around in a circle. They're walking out of the fair way. Everybody goes, yeah. Sign guys are electric.

They're just these kids or are they adults? I mean, yeah, there were some older guys. Yeah. Yeah, I remember out of Chitticoke, we had some guys that were around, yeah, a college age or something like that. What a job that is for the day. You get to walk with these guys. You get to walk right up the fairway, stand right next to every single shot, right on the green. You just get to hold the score for these guys.

Shout out, while we're talking about sign guys, I have a little story that started from the sign guy in the final pairing on Sunday. He was a kid, huge stool. His belt was the barstool golf belt that we sell on barstoolsports.com. Peter Malabelt. How do you get to the store? Store-d-d-d-d-store. Yep. Um, this kid was a huge stoolie.

I think his father drove Trent out to the golf course. He did. I was trying to go out to 14. Would that have been yesterday? Yeah, yeah. It would have been yesterday. And I was like, it's, it felt like. Yeah, it does.

And I was walking from the media center out to 14, which is a bit of a hike. And I'm walking down this road like an idiot trying to, you know, miss all the crowds and stuff so I can just sort of zip through. And yeah, the kid's dad pulled up in a golf cart and was like, do you need to ride somewhere? And I said yes. And he was, he saved my legs for that part of the day. So I'm walking with the sign kid. And he walked up to me. I said, what's up?

And I was like, I love your belt and all that stuff. And he, the first thing he says to me is, like, man, they stuck us with a bad official score. And I'm like, what are you talking about? So this is on, this is on four. And four is one of the most difficult, like, holes to walk, especially for, like, a spectator or even if you're inside the rows, because you have the two-tier fareways. You got the huge green. It's a mountain uphill. You've got these, like, and where they make you walk for the media and, like, and even if you're, like, sign guy or, like, the PGA score.

You got to kind of go around the bunkers and you're going through the fescue. Anyway, Harold Varner, the third, Harold HV3, hit one in the fescue on the left. And then he tried to, like, punch out and he hit the tree. This is where the wheels just came off for HV3. We all thought that he was going to, like, do something magical that day. And he kind of just, like, fell off the face of the earth on this hole. He hit a tree and he goes down. Turns out that this official score at the PGA, he was just, like, out of his league with the

with being able to keep up. He was like an older guy. He had kind of like a little bit of weight to him. He had a little bit of a limp. And this fourth hole absolutely destroyed this man because he was already ahead of the game. I think what he tried to do going into this final group was he was going to distance himself, like just always be ahead of the game. And what he did was he was on the fairway.

And then HV3 was hitting 15 shots back in the, in the Fescue. So he realized he had to go jog back down this hill and see what was going on with HV3. And by the time he got back, HV3 had already punched out, and he's already back up towards the green. And the score, the sign guy goes, look at this guy. And I look back. And Brooks Kepka and 8 feet three are now on the green putting. And our score is now dragging his leg off the fairway, barely making one foot in front of the other and just out of gas, just completely out of gas. And the whole finishes, and he's still in the fairway.

And I just, I waited for him because I wanted to, like, grab a picture just in case we use it. I don't know if we will because I don't know if I want to exploit the guy. And he's just out of guess, like just deep breathing. He's on his phone. He's trying to keep up with these scores. He's asking someone what happened up there on the green? Like, what happened? What's going on up there?

Like, what's going on that green up there? I just, I don't know. I don't know, dude. You're the official score. And this is on whole four. So I want a huge shout out to that guy. That guy finished around, man. Hero.

There was like, there was liquids coming out of this guy's hip. Like, he was sweating bullets. It was an unbelievable scene. He grinded. I think that it may have been the worst day of his life, like, trying to walk this fairway. And yeah, that was my experience on that final group because I was just laughing my ass off watching this guy walk.

Yeah, you told us this whole thing and you told it to us by on like six green. Yeah. And then we're walking up seven fairway. And we get to a point where they're hitting their approaches in on seven. And I look at you and I'm like, hey, where's that scorer guy you're talking about? And you're like, I don't know. And then we look back to our right and like 250 yards behind the group, here comes the score, the official scorer guy, just trudging a lot.

And you're right. At that point, I would have bet my life. That guy can't make it to the back nine. Sure enough, on 18, he comes trudging up behind. He's like, got the anchor. No big deal, finished it out. So huge shout out to that guy. Huge.

Herculane effort to finish the entire thing. I think that's pretty much all we got. Tom Rinaldi, we were inside with Tom Rinaldi yesterday, walking with the Kepka group. Incredibly nice guy. We chatted it up with him. He sounds more like Tom Rinaldi in real life than he even does on TV. It's incredible.

It's just funny watching him and being like, That guy's the voice of incredibly moving sports stories. Yep. That's all he is. Like he, you look at him and you think of like, like, comebacks and you think of like,

like horrible upbringings, but overcoming the odds. Like, just like unreal movie-like scenarios. And then his voice, just bringing you like to tears and then lifting you up. And then here we are. I'd be like,

I'd be like, I'd be like, Tom, is there like room for me right now? I'd be like, no problem. Thank you, Tom. You were once not kneeling, and now you are.

Holy shit. A moment ago, you were standing, and now you are kneeling. Tom, you nailed it. He also was more prepared. There's a picture that we tweeted out that I think Frankie took of me at Lurgeon, kneeling with Tom Rinaldi so we don't block the spectators behind us. And he had a kneeling towel. That's such a Tomrenaldi move.

We all, the knees in our pants were just pathetic by the end of the week. Just dirt soaked. stained from just taking a knee so you're not in everybody's way. Not Tom or not. He had a kneeling towel. Just an absolute expert, a veteran on the whole thing. But we'll learn. We'll be out at Pebble. Speaking of Pebble, we have a big stretch coming up. For Play Boys.

We're going to be at Pebble on Wednesday, all day Wednesday. We've got the Morgon Challenge, so people should tune in and check that out. We're going to be filming some stuff for Foreplay as well. We're going to get the crew out at Pebble Beach where we play in Pebble Beach. These guys for the first time, we're going to document that entire round. entire experience. Put that all up on our YouTube page. Again, YouTube is YouTube.com. And then if you go to the search area, you can type in Foreplay Golf and find our page. And then we're doing a couple of us are doing a Chambers Bay weekend. We're going out to Chambers Bay. We actually told

Spath, Jordan Spath, that because his boy, his catty, Michael Greller is from, he got married at Chambers Bay, I believe, and he's from the area. He was like a teacher in the area when he got on Spath's bag. So we kind of told Spath that. We're going to be out of Chambers Bay. We're playing a bunch of courses in the area. If anybody's got any massive recommendations, let us know. I think we got a pretty good itinerary already. I can't wait. Three days.

It's going to be insane. Chambers Bay looks awesome. Supposed to have brand new greens. Even Speeth went out of his way to be like, oh yeah, Grasler was telling me the greens are fucking phenomenal. I looked it up and they were talking. It was like a video that came out like a couple months ago. And it was just like a little video inside like the corporate area of Chambers Bay.

And they're just interviewing, I guess, like the CEO or whoever's like running Chambers Bay right now. And he was talking about how it's a premier golf. course. It's one of the best golf courses in the world, but people used to, like they were surveying golfers that would come there, because it is a public course as well, just like the People's Country Club, Bethpage Black. And they said that like the one negative that they got when they were always giving surveys is that the Greens just kind of like weren't up to standards at what something like Chambers Bay should be. They were always getting messed up or something like that. And he said that what they did to the Greens now, I guess it was like R.O.A.

I don't even know what the scientific, you know, term for it was. But they said that the renovations that they made to Chambers Bay now make it the complete golf course for a destination place to go. It is absolutely perfect. The guy wrote. I'm jacked up. Everything I've heard, the course looks wildly fun, crazy undulations and slopes, the views of the sound. It just looks awesome. So we're going to be out of Chambers Bay all weekend.

We'll be doing social stuff. We'll be playing other courses in the area. This week we're going to be a pebble. So we got a lot coming. And then in like three weeks, we're going to be a pebble for the U.S. Open. We're going to have the same. our good close personal friend, USGA, who really was a stepping stone

for us to get this kind of access that we had this last week, them sort of legitimizing us, welcoming us in. Our boys. USGA are our boys. I can't fucking wait for them to trick out Pebble Beach. I can't wait for those little bitches like Zach Johnson to complain about using the golf course.

Go back to the fucking John Deere. Why? Why? Trent called Zach Johnson the needle at one point. He goes, we're walking around the golf course on Saturday and he goes, oh, there's the needle. I'm like, who the fuck is the needle?

And all of a sudden I looked up and Zach Johnson was just like missing a five-foot slider. And he was like, I just laughed. I laughed so hard. I really thought we were going to make a whole show without you guys besmirching the great name of the John Deere Classic and my guy, Zach Johnson. But here he are. And yeah, he is the needle.

We're going to have guys out at Pebble just bitching and moaning and complaining about the golf course calling it, whether it's clown golf or we've lost the golf course. All that stuff. That's why we love the U.S. Open. It's carnage time. It's the best. So USG, US Open Pebble Beach will be out there next month in June. We'll also be out there this week to film on a bunch of videos and whatnot for the whole thing.

So follow us, for PlayPod. You can follow my personal Instagram and Twitter at Riggs Barstool. Don't follow Frankie. And that's it. I think that's all I got. You didn't need to do that. I think it's all I got. Hit it hard.

Hit it hard. Hit hard. We were about to leave the room. Lurch just reminded me of this story. I have to say it really quickly. So we're staying at our hotel. And I go down to get ice. Got to go down the second four to get ice.

Not a big fan of that, but I had to do it. I get in the elevator. Guys are like, oh, hey, what's going on? Rigsie, big fan. I was like, oh, thanks. He's like, yeah, we're with the blimp team. What do you mean? We're with the blimp team.

Yeah, we run the blimp. I was like the big fucking blimp flying over the tournament. That's you guys. That's us. That thing's everywhere, by the way. When you're on the golf course, you hear it, you see it. It's never not there. It's everywhere.

It's like the scene in Goodfellels when he's driving around. The helicopter's always right over. Yeah. That's like the blimps out of that. So I said to him, I go, let me ask you a question. How do you transport that thing from one event to the next? Thing's fucking huge. He goes, we fly.

Hey, what do you mean you fly? He goes, yeah, we just fly it to the next event. You go how fast that thing go? He goes 70 miles. That's just like a car driving down the highway. I go, are you fucking? That big ass flam goes. Did you imagine that thing flying over you when you're playing around a golf going 70 miles an hour?

He goes, actually, you'd be surprised, 70, it's actually like painstakingly slow. He's like, think about a plane goes like 500. That still feels like it takes hours to get everywhere. He goes, the blimp only goes 70. I was like, what do you mean only 70? Well, the funniest part of it, the funniest visual of it is if it's real low to the ground, like driving on the highway and this blimp just absolutely cruising. But up in the year, I can see how that is like not even moving. I was floored.

I mean, that is flooring. I said, shut the hell up. 70 miles an hour. flowing that they just like so the next term and let's say it's in fucking i don't know where is the next term of it uh where are they this way i don't even know i'm not let's say they want to put it out in pebble for the years they gotta start three weeks they got to fly that thing they got to start now they got to start right now way they definitely take that thing they roll it up and put it in a truck that's what i don't way that's why i am

telling you right now i'm telling you right now they do not fly the blame from new york to california i guarantee okay but i bet they have multiple blips i bet they have a couple different blips. They probably got an East Coast one, like a West Coast one. You know, if there's like a NASCAR event, maybe they go to the NASCAR event, right? It's always the good year blimp. Isn't that what it is? Is there any other kind of blimp?

I don't know. I think they've got the market on blimps, I'll tell you that. Right. So this guy out on the east. I'm all messed up on the schedule because they twist it around the PGA tour schedule this year. So I'm trying to figure out really quickly where they're actually at this year. But I bet that thing like right there in the Florida sway, that thing just goes from fucking, you know, Bay Hill, like Orlando over to like Jacksonville for the players championship.

I guess it just, they just point it towards Jacksonville and it just flies 70 miles an hour toward Jacksonville. That's insane. But you're right, though, low to the ground. That's a hilariously fast speed for it to be going. High up in the air, it's a hilariously slow speed if they got to travel. That's what the guy was saying. He was like, man, you would not believe how slow 70 miles an hour is. I said, yeah, but I mean the blimp.

So they're in Fort Worth, Texas. There's no way that thing is going from Bethpage Black to Fort Worth, Texas, and going to be ready for polite Thursday. There's no fucking way. Awesome. What is it just flying over like Virginia right now? Going 70? No chance. So that was my Blim story.

All right. All right. We're out of here.
