So on this show, we got the whole squad. It's a little different. Lurch calls in from Scotland. We actually find out during his call, which he had told me before, but I just forgotten.

It's such an amazing fact that in Scotland, you booked a bunch of his tea times with Supreme Golf. That's crazy to me. Yeah, for whatever reason, you don't think about it being international. but then it is. You land in Scotland. You pull up a app, the Supreme Golf app, and you can just find the best T-T times and get discounts in freaking Scotland. They got to figure it out.

They do got it out. They are the best. Oh, what else they got figured out? If you book T-Time as Supreme Golf, they're also giving you credit to Cowan Golf, $10 in credit, now through September 30th. They just do it all right. They're international.

They're everywhere. They've got the best discounts. They've got T-Off, Golf, now, all those guys that you may have. have used or heard of, they're just all under the Supreme Golf umbrella. So if you're not using them, you're a dumb person. I've said that before. I will say it again. You are a dumb person.

Everything together international tea times you can set alert for tea times at your favorite places when the price goes down to a certain level they're the best you're dumb if you don't use them let's talk some golf we've got in theory the entire squad finally back frankie's back from Vegas I'm back we'll throwback show the other day it was just myself and trint day bear bones bear bones it was bare bones how'd that go it was great good we have fun about best buy just about my old car yeah you should have a card

Oh, man, you're going to love it. 1985 Chevy Caprice. Yeah, you did. Yeah. It was great. Yeah, we talked about that baby run. Smooth up until the end when I had to get rid of it. But it was great.

And then in theory, we have Lurch calling in from Scallum. That is kind of what his plan is. Do we have the technology for that to happen? I don't know. I don't know that he has like the capability in his own brain and technologically to do that. I don't know that we on our end have the capability. ability to accept it and execute it. There's a lot of factors that go into getting lurch connected to us via Skype from Scotland.

In a successful manner to have a conversation and do a podcast about golf. I don't know that that's going to happen. In theory, in 30 minutes that will come in. We'll see what happens. I want to talk. I obviously want to hear about his trip. I mean, he's had a crazy run where he went from Cabot, where we were for five days. Firm-ass ground.

You're walking 36 a day, almost every day. It's not a vacation. It's a golf trip. Everybody knows that. You can't move your legs. Then he did one day of work Monday. And then he went straight to JFK and took like a six-hour flight, red eye to Scotland, arrived, rented a car, drove up, played, I think, Ely yesterday. And then today we're recording on Wednesday.

I think he played Crail and the New Course is what I'm seeing all over his Instagram. So he could be in any state right now. I think he's at the Dunvegan, which is the famous. you know, after your round of golf 19th hole bar right next to the old course in St. Andrews. It could be anything. I don't know. That's a ton of golf. A lot, a lot, a lot of golf.

You got to love it, man. You got to love the game. You have to love the game. You got to breathe it. And he is. So, again, in 30 minutes-ish is kind of the plan to have Lurge calling, Skype in. Frankie was in Vegas. We were talking on the show.

I mean, there's no way that you went to Vegas and don't have some, you know, things that happen to you that you have to talk about or address or see what people think. Yeah, I mean, Vegas, I say this all the time that Vegas at points is the best place on earth and then the worst place on earth. 95% of the time it's the worst place on earth. Yep. It just sucks the living life out of you. I've been in a situation in which I've dropped grapes because I couldn't, I couldn't function.

My body just couldn't function. But here's like my recap of this Vegas trip is that we went. out a lot. It was Dave, Portnoy, Eddie, which I don't even know what his last name is, Eddie from Barstool, Chicago, and myself. And we went out a ton. We drank a lot of alcohol. And I just can't handle that. Like, I, my body's not built to be able to go out, wake up and, like, work. When I go out like that, like, I'm just a zombie. And that's what I am. I've never walked around Vegas feeling good or healthy, ever. I mean, as far as stories go, I don't know how many, mean, I don't know.

I don't know. You don't know what you can share? Well, yeah. It's just like it was a Vegas weekend. It was a Vegas weekend. No, I get that. I thought more than her like, oh my God, the Uber driver said this and he actually thought that.

No. And it fucking, I got kicked out of the Uber. I didn't really know. No, I mean, like, there was a point where like I walked out of a building and I was just in the desert. Like, I was in the middle of the desert. I texted my buddies. Like, I just experienced a hangover situation like from the movie where like I was off the

strip and it was like 7 a.m. in the morning and I was just I like when I walked outside I heard like the soundtrack to like the hangover like oh I was like what is happening like what the fuck is happening right now yeah that is kind of my experience this weekend um but no nothing like no one pissed me off really we got this new cafe we have this new deli down the block and I ordered a tuna melt which I call nah I love my nah I love tuna um and I ordered a tuna melt and I was like can I get a tuna melt on white toast and the guy's like sure so he's doing he's setting it up he's doing the whole thing and i'm like oh boy that thing looks fucking good the cheese is melting the toast is getting brown like look at this fucking thing and then he takes two huge pieces of tomato and lettuce and slaps them

on the fucking tuna melt and like i didn't order that i was like well now now like excuse me and the guy like rolled his eyes at me like you're supposed to know what tuna milk comes with tomatoes and lettuce and then what then they took tomatoes off you didn't want lettuce either you put that on but you didn't have the spine i don't have the spine i don't have the spine i don't have the You don't have the spine. Complaint twice. But that's the type of shit that happens. That's just a continuation of the time that we were at a place for lunch at the old office where we went to get lunch and you asked for a tuna melt.

And the guy was like, what kind of bread do you want? And you just said toast. He's like, what kind of bread do you want? And you just kept saying toast. To the point where I almost had to intervene and be like, my friend wants white toast, I think. I don't know what he wants. I don't know what he wants. I said, is this fucking guy kidding me?

Like, toast, man. Like, do you not hear me? I'm the type of bread is toast and he's like well what kind of bread I was like are you do you have do you have do you have a brain in between those fucking ears because I'm telling you toast and then someone's probably like dude it's is it is it rye is it whole wheat you were super in the wrong I was like oh shit you were just wrong I was the wrong I've ever been and I was rude to the guy too I was like hey budge I think I was like I remember dumbest person in the world like I need I want white by bad yeah that's just what you get with frank I just figured in

Vegas, you know, maybe you had like 30 of those. I don't know. NASCAR was okay. Like, NASCAR was fun. I mean, we had our car, uh, our car was awesome. Four play logo was on it. Couldn't look better. It looked. It looked shiny and sharp out there, dude. And I didn't know they build the, the NASCAR builds a car each week. Like that car will now be dismantled and like cut up and then they just build a new one each week. So like that car will never be seen again. That was a last, the first and last time we'll see that color scheme ever in NASCAR, which is awesome. Really? So they just repaint that whole thing? I think they like rebuild. the whole car like engine and everything tires the whole thing they like they have to rebuild it

makes sense yeah you're not gonna why what would be the benefit to running that thing over and over over again yeah I don't know but it is crazy man like there was a time where I was like going in to take a picture and the thing was like impounded which means like you're not allowed to touch it during a certain period of time because NASCAR is inspecting the car and like we were taking pictures of it like inside the garage and like people with like clipboards and and earth pieces are like step away from the vehicle I was like whoa like what what I think like I think like I think I did the equivalent to like stepping in the batters box during batting practice and like like with my phone like, oh, what do I do over here? Like, I just wasn't allowed to be in this in the

situation. But like we walk around NASCAR like it's another world. That reminds me when I was a, when the first time we were ever inside the ropes. And it was when I was inside with with kids in chapel. And I think it was Luke List at Shinnock last year. And I, you know, the first hole, I'm like nervous and shit. I'm like walking basically in the fescue, like touching the ropes the whole And then after a couple holes, kids, it's like, you know, just come in here with us, you clown, blah, blah. And by the eighth hole at one point, I was standing in middle of the green, like, taking pictures and filming a video in chapels in a green side bunker. He just looks up and he goes, Riggs, get out of the way. I'm trying to hit bunker shots.

I'm trying to get ready for the U.S. I was like, sorry, dude. I don't really know what's going on. Yeah, you get a little comfortable sometimes. Oh, yeah, for sure. And, like, it is crazy. I don't know how many of a, how much of a crossover, like, our golf fans and NASCAR fans there are that listen to this podcast. but like zero we have i'm gonna put that number right around zero

our access to nascar like there have to be people out there that are like how the fuck are these guys like we know every driver in the like clint boyer and like all these top-notch drivers like all like the bush brothers like just walk by dave like give him like a fist pound like they can't believe we're they're like they're like taking pictures of them like selfies like the biggest names in their sport like if you're a nascar fan the stuff that we're able to do we're like in the car we're like walking on the there's a point where i'm I got so comfortable. I was walking along the track.

Just like, I was sitting in pit row, like listening to the car, to our driver, Matt De Benedetto, like what he was saying to the pit, like boss or whatever you fucking call. Is it?

Are you like nervous down there? I hope it's pit boss. That'd be awesome. That's great name. Like a casino. Are you like nervous down there because there's machines moving around and shit that you're going to like get run over by something?

Like everything, no matter what you, no matter where you look, someone's putting in something inside a fucking machine. It's crazy. It is. Somebody's actually like put a drill into the back of Frankie's leg and your legs just drills in half.

There's so much moving parts. There's so much moving machinery. It's a man's, like, area. Yeah. And I'm not a man. They're all greased up and, like, I was wearing this shirt. They gave me this, like, shirt. Was it the one you took when you took the back to the car?

Yeah. That's me. I wanted to hit back, hit you back and say, this is the funniest picture I've ever seen. You are not built or whatever to wear a shirt like that. Dude, it was like, you know what the, the material of this shirt was like, I don't know if it was only like my age. group that had these things on their textbooks, but there was like this little stretchy nylon, like textbook cover in like high school and middle school. And that's what this material was.

Hmm. Like what did you cover your textbooks in when you were in high school? I didn't cover my textbooks. Really? I just, maybe not high school. Maybe middle school. I know what you're referring to. Some poor people did it.

It's like light fabric things. Yes. Yeah. You know, it was like the, you're always kind of see-through. If you stretched it a little bit, it was see-through. Yeah, it felt new to me. Like, I thought that was like new technology because like poor people used to use like brown paper bag.

Correct. You know? No, no. And I wasn't. I was like the nylon. I used to show up with like all different colors. Like, Oh,

like look at Frankie. I used to cover my marble notebooks in it too. You tell me that's what material your shirt was. That was the dude. And you want to talk about tits and gut? Like, I was like, I had a nice t-shirt on and Dave was like changing to this.

And I was like, please don't make me do that. And I walked around this place. I was milky. I was pale. I was white. You looked like the only one that was like wearing it as a Halloween costume. I looked,

dude, it was crazy. I looked horrible. And like the sweat. Oh. You looked like you were definitely actively trying to keep your tits out of it. you like we're standing up straight so it would kind of I've not gotten to the point where you had like a concave like torso

my gut and my tits have now are now in my head every single picture I dig have you been going to the gym I do the elliptical I've been so so fucking busy traveling around I have not had a chance to lift up a weight like when I'm done I just want to go home and go to sleep yeah you know I know that feeling dude that trip home from Vegas is horrible that's why I missed a show last week like you get I left my hotel which is the are an unreal hotel at Vegas. I love that place.

You leave your hotel at 10 a.m. and you don't get back into your apartment in New York until 10.30 at night because of the time change, the five and a half hour of flight, there was an hour delay. It's just you're traveling for a full day. It's like you're going to fucking Australia. But yeah, coming back from Vegas. It's weird because when you, like, to equate it to golf, when you go like your first day of a trip out west, if you go to California, you go to like band in Oregon or even to Vegas.

You can actually like, you can fly, fly forever. You land. And then you can actually, like, still play a whole round of golf. Yeah. Because you're traveling with the sun. The other way around, no chance. The other way around, you lose, like, a day and a half, it feels like. I was telling you, too, I was pissed.

I didn't have, like, my clubs out there. It's also, like, when you're with Dave, like, there's, like, golf isn't, like, an option. You're just working and you're doing, like, whatever you want to do, whatever he wants to do. But, like, the UNLV, like, team reached out to me. It was, like, oh, you want to, like, come golf. Like some guy was like, you know, we're at you and LV come golf like our course and stuff. Like I, I bet there's some hidden jams out in Vegas. You got to play Wolf Creek sometime.

That's the crazy one from the video game that I played when you and Jake played it. I'm like 90% sure I saw it from the plane when we were coming in. You may have. It looks. It looks like a fantasy. It's just like a red rock. Yeah. And canyons.

Canyons. Crazy like rock, deserty red formations that they just built these green lush fairways and greens upon and it is like you're hitting from one green like plateau in the middle of the desert to another it's crazy and it's public or you have to stay you have to stay though at like m g like a public oh really for this for this one yeah i mean every course kind of looks like what you probably saw from the plane yeah but when you're on the grass right like because they're all built in the desert right place is the fucking desert i don't know how they keep the grass green a lot of water so much water la so much water gigantic pipes i don't know how people live in these

areas i said that i don't know how you live in Vegas i don't know how you live in Vegas i don't how you live in, I don't know how you live in a place where it's warm 100% of the time. That would drive me fucking nuts. Every single day you walk outside and it's the same weather. That would drive me crazy. There's nothing better than being in the northeast and like, like today. How nice was this morning? Like today I looked at my phone and it was like 69 degrees in the morning, 71, like a high of like 74.

I was like that, that's a good surprise. Like you don't get that in Vegas or even like Orlando, Florida. It's always just going to be 90 and sunny. Or Arizona. Yeah. Or it's like 120. In Arizona, they have to cool down their pools. They have the opposite of a pool heater.

I learned that when I went out there. Because it's so hot. It gets like 120. Did I have a moment this morning. It was great. I looked at the weather and like you said, it was like 69, 70 degrees. All right. That's not that cold.

Like that shorts and a T-shirt still. We're kind of in that same weather pattern. But I walked outside and all the buildings in New York are obviously so tall that it's all shadowed. And there's like a little bit of wind. So it actually felt way chill here. A big of smile on my face, turn right back around. inside, grab the quarters of it. That quarters of it is fantastic. This Peter Malar thing I got at Cabot is maybe the hottest piece of merch I've ever acquired. Because like from far away,

when you were walking to me today in the office, I was like, oh, that's a nice vest. Up until two seconds ago, I thought you were wearing a vest. Then you get closer and it's a connect, it's like a connection where you guys can feel the sleeves are super thin. I don't even need to feel them. I don't know what I'm saying? That's super thin material. And then it's a little thicker with like the vesty look. Yeah. Where the vest would go. It's, It is just, it's flames. It's off the chart. It's great.

It's a great one. But I went back in, grabbed the pole over, and was walking around. I was just strutting my stuff. It's like, this is my weather, man. This is when I look my best. It's really good. This is when I feel my best. Great city bike weather.

We've been city biking like crazy. I've been city biking my dick off, man. You took that line from me earlier. Have I? That's exactly what I said to you this point. You turn around to me at your desk and said, man, I've been city biking a lot. And I looked at you and I said, you know what? I've been city biking my dick off.

You said that? I know I did. I know, I think maybe it's one of the situations. Oh, man, what song were me and my roommates singing last night? You know when something just comes on a TV and then someone whistles it and then someone hums it? And then you start humming it and you're like, how the fuck is that song in my head? Yeah. That happened to me last night with the most random song of all time.

And I can't remember what song it was. It was one of those where it's like, I haven't heard that song in ages. Right. But that's what it felt like with that. Like, you've accepted that. We both in city biking our dicks off. I feel like an asshole when I city bike. There's no denying that.

Why? Because I'm going around these cars. I'm like, dude, I fucking. I laugh. I think it's too dangerous. It's super dangerous. I belled someone today. Come on.

Dude, like, it was my opportunity to go straight and I saw someone walking and I hit two bells. I went ding ding, ding. Like, I'm like, watch out. And you were dead serious. Dead serious. I like snarled at him too. Yeah.

You weren't laughing like, ha, this is ironic. That reminds me. Something did happen to me in Vegas. I'm on, I'm on. Get there, Frank. Well, it's on my way home. I'm on the plane. I was in Vegas.

worst like feeling of all time leaving Vegas because you're like oh my god I've just drank for like 72 hours straight I haven't seen the sun I've been in a casino and when I am in the sun my pale body can't take the heat like at the pool party I wore shorts and boy I mean I just felt so out of place man there's all these ripped good looking guys and I'm in there I got these skinny little fucking white legs and like we're in a we're in like a cabana at like an unbelievable like Vegas pool party and I'm just sitting inside watching the football like trying to not be in the same that pasty ghost that came in the party. I was scaring people.

Like, I think one, like, I think one girl, like, let out, like, a yelp. Like, ah! Like, she, like, like, they, like, invited, like, people into our cabana. And one girl was like, ah, like, what's going on back there? I'm like, don't mind me. I'm a patient. Does this get sick? Yeah.

A hospital bed. Dude. So I have all those feelings of just, like, misery and despair. And I'm on the flight. I'm like, just get me home. And I found a good movie to watch on the plane. It was called Rocket Man, right? and I'm watching Rocket Man.

Sir Elton John. I'm a huge music guy. love Elton John. Like, I wanted to know the whole story behind it. I actually read the Barstool movie podcast, Lights Camera Barstool. I read their little, like, description of it before I watched it to make sure it was good. They gave it like a 90-something score. Said it was one of the best movies of the year.

I was so glad. One of the great performances of all time when he sang candle in the wind at Princess Diana's funeral. One of the most emotional things I ever seen. Absolutely. You ever looking to get in touch with some of your emotions? Do you go watch that? Not a dry eye in the place. I was crying.

This is like a musical. I was crying the whole flight. But I had this. It's the altitude. I had this little baby next to me, right? And this, I don't know how old this baby was. Nine months, maybe a year, maybe even less. Maybe like 10 months old, right?

But functioning, like a functioning baby, but not to the point where he can, like, just, like, sit on his own. The mom's holding him. And he has this little face, this little smug face. Like, he's going to do something to me. Like, he's, like, looking at me the whole time. And I'm like, what the fuck are you looking at? Like, he's just staring at me this whole time. And I swear to God, so it's JetBlue.

So on your little handle here to my left, I was sitting on the way. window side, that's where you're able to do, uh, like the volume and the, and change the channel and the home button and the map and all that stuff. It's a controller. I hit it once to get to my movie and I saw the baby like lock eyes on what I just did. Like I saw that he realized that that controller did something on my screen. And I was like, oh no, like, like, what's this baby going to do? He looked down and looked at the screen.

I'm like, what do you look at it at? So it's like, I'm like 20 minutes into the movie and the mom's passed out and this baby's just staring at me, staring at me. And I, like, seeing him at the core of my eye. And I shit you nut, this baby, like, four or five times during the movie would look at me in the eye, look down at the controller, and hit home. And it just kept knocking me out of my movie. And, like, dude, like, the second time he did it, I, like, looked at him and, like, I, like, snarled at him. And I was like, mm.

Like, and I think the mom heard me, she, like, woke up. And I, like, looked at her, like, are you going to control this fucking thing that keeps hitting my mom? movie yet. I couldn't watch the movie. I couldn't get into it. Like, he'd be like, oh, da-na-na-da-da-da-da. And then boom, home. I'm like, what are you fucking? I'm like, dude, I couldn't, I couldn't handle it anymore. I didn't say anything. I got to tell you, Frankie, you know, when I asked, I thought it might be like a bouncer or a meathead at a club. No, no. It's a 10-year-old baby on the flight. 10-month-old. I'm sorry, 10-month-old baby on the point. I knew you had a Vegas story because you told that story to me when you got back,

and I could not think of it when you couldn't think of a story. The only reason I remember it is because when I said the word, like, snarled or something. Yeah. I remember I gave this little baby a look. Like, if you do this one more time, I'm going to end you. Your time on this planet's going to be short. This flight is it. Like, that's it.

You're over. You're done. I could kill that baby if I want to do. 100%. I'm strong enough. Oh, you could. I mean, Jake just gasped, but it's like true. I could.

That's just a fact. That's just like a sheer battle of strength. 100%. You'd kill that baby. I don't know what's going on with this microphone. but it just keeps getting lower. I'm going to be on the floor by the time this podcast is over. You are in a very awkward position right now.

Have you ever tried holding it? It doesn't do any. Look at this. Look at what's going on here. Yeah, you got a tough situation. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, the baby found the home button. Yeah, sorry.

And for like 40 minutes, I ended up. He forced me. Hunchback of Notre Dame. Yeah, that's a really bad situation. You're going to have, you might get permanently stuck in that posture if you don't get out of that question. I'm just going to do it. I'm going to sit here like this, and it's going to be fine. And we're going to do the podcast, and it's going to be great.

Okay. You're going to feel fantastic tonight. Andrew, our producer, is going to try and mess with it here. It's getting a little better. All right. Cabot trip. We talked a lot about the Cabot trip. A lot of different temperature at the Cabot trip.

Tons of different temperature. I'm talking, we have mornings where it was like 41 degrees, I want to say. 41 degrees overcast and windy. And then like an hour and a half later, the little marine layer, as they call it, burned off. And it was like 60 degrees in sunny. When you get that kind of situation, you're really trying to figure out. how to layer up, how to prepare what to do. You got to tell you, I had in my bag, I had like a vest.

Actually, this is when I teed off. I had a vest. I had a quarter zip on, a polo, and then a long sleeve underlayer. And by the time you're playing golf later today, just wearing only a polo. Yep. There's nobody that makes any gear better and more versatile than Peter Mawar. They've got, first of all, the Perth quarter zip, which is what we have. have made our quarters imps that we sell here at barcel sports they're great really some of the

best quality ever i really cannot believe the amount of compliments that we get on them i mean i even i have like people's um people's dads all the time actually like my buddy's dad's like hey my uh my dad was like asking how we can get one of those quarters imps you guys got we're big in the dad demographic for clothes like that for these types of clothes we are massive in that phenomenal price point around a hundred bucks incredibly easy to take care of you throw in your golf bag like i said You roll it up, you fold it up, throw it in your golf bag. You want to shed layers. You want to add layers.

You're good to go. I love the pants. I talk about the pants all the time. I do the EB-66 performance five-pocket pant is my favorite for general weather. Now that we're getting into fall and I had to look up exactly what this one's called because I got this. I got this. A-C-A-I. Do you say that?

A-Sai-I-E bowl? As-A-E-Berry. I-C-E-Berry. I call it like maroon. That's what I would call it. I don't know. What is it? What's the A-W-E?

What's the A-W-E? Asaii. Okay, you got it that time. A-C-A-A-E. Berry is what they call it in this way. I call it maroon. I got a pair of these things. I don't say you got a pair of those.

You look great in those. Satine they call them. S-A-T-E-E-N. Ultimate Satine five pocket pants. These are when I got this fall. These are unreal. I got them and I got my five pocket pants in iron too. This is like a dark gray.

Yep. They call them iron. This is some of my favorite stuff. I'm telling you. If you're in, I posted a new video today, Cabot Cliffs, 15th hole, my favorite single favorite hole in the world. At Cabot Cliffs, my favorite hole in the world. One of my favorite videos, mostly because of how intoxicated I was at the time, which is very

authentic. That's what I do on book Golf Buddy strips I drink. So that's just what the experience is, made Bertie, you're welcome. And I am so geared up and it looks so good on camera that I actually asked if, like, we color corrected everything. I was like to that. Was that a color crash? No, that's just like what the footage looked like

Petermore. We love you, Peter Malar. You're going to love it too. Go check them out. Let's go through some headlines here. He's so much more than me. Before we get to Lurch. Yeah, it's really incredible.

I mean, he just twisted a knob that I think it's like the end. only knob on there. I tried to do that and it was squeaking. I didn't want to interrupt the baby killing story. That's a good point. That's a really good idea. Yeah. Rory McElroy. I love this little blurb from Rory. Basically said that he was out on the Irish open date because it was 4th of July weekend. A 4th of July is just too fun in America. That's essentially what he said. That's true. He goes, he said, so what happened was they're talking about how, you know, he's won the event a couple times. I think two times in three years, something like that. Didn't play it this year, but he's going to play it next year. It moved to a May date. He said, and the article goes on

to say Macquarie admitted that family considerations are also a part of his reasoning for preferring the May date given the 4th of July period in the U.S. where he is now based. MacRoy said the 4th of July weekend in the States is a big deal for my now extended family with my wife, with my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and celebrating that with them. It's a lot that goes into it other than golf. It, the July date, it might work for everyone else. It might not work for me, but I don't want them to change the date just for me. I mean, that's just the guy saying, like, fourth of July is fucking awesome.

in the United States of America. It's such a big win for America. Oh, yeah. This guy's like, I mean, yeah, it's a great tournament, but have you done the Fourth of July in America? It's great. You got hot dogs. You got fireworks.

You got beers. People love it. It's legit one of our best holiday. It is our best holiday. It might be number one. It's our single best holiday. I think you might be right. I mean, it is the middle of summer.

It usually gives everyone like at least four or five day vacation, if not a whole week, especially here at Barcelona sports. It's fireworks. It's like you're on a body of water. It's barbecue. Our holiday, so that excludes Christmas. I would say it's better than Christmas. What?

See, I like Christmas a lot. A lot of it is a patch to nostalgia, and I love the music. The Jake just shook his head. You're Jewish. Okay, so, like, you don't like that. You can't, like, shake your head at that. I celebrate, like, so you think Fourth of July is better than Hanukkah? Hanukkah stinks.

It does stink. I was just waiting for you to say that. I love Christmas. I think. I love Christmas. I can't tell you. My mom, biggest Christmas fan in the world. Christmas is the best.

As I've gotten older, I think. I've now evolved Fourth of July Better than Christmas No way It's so good at Barstle too because I don't know how other people I think it's Christmas for me

But it's close Running downstairs Mama Papa That doesn't happen anymore Santa Claus game Are you such an asshole Are you a cobbler? It's crazy

This fucking Oliver Twist over here It's insane Running downstairs The book just happened. Mama, papa. Running downstairs and screaming up and saying, Mama, Papa.

He's like, no, this was just last year that we were doing this. Santa Claus. You Santa Claus. I mean, there's no better feeling than walking downstairs and seeing the presents. And sometimes there's like, you know, there's snow. I think Fourth of July might be a better adult holiday. Like, as you grow up, it's now, we're adults. No, I know.

It's now become, like, it's evolved. Christmas when you're a kid, there's nothing better than that. Nothing. That is the best. Mama, Papa, you run down the stairs. It's a fantastic feeling. You know that it doesn't really happen as much. Now you just spend time with their family and it's still a good time.

But Fourth of July, and you're right, Riggs, now you get sometimes a week off just out of nowhere. During the summer, great weather, beers, fireworks, red, white and blue. It's beautiful. It is. It's great. And look, I think Christmas is more fun for like a larger age group of people from like, from three-year-olds all the way up to like your grandparents. Christmas, overall, probably takes the cake. But at this age that we're at right now,

like we're in our 20s, low 30s. Like, for us, this is, like, Fourth of July is, it's golf. You go play some golf. It's more days of drinking. There's way less to be concerned about on either end of it, right? Like, the month before, Fourth of July is great. The month after Fourth of July is great. That's true.

Christmas, it's like, after Christmas, you get three months of fucking darkness. True. Till ground off. And the work off is massive. Oh. You get like, I mean, that's only here at Barstle, because I, know that for a fact. I have roommates that I live with that couldn't believe I just wasn't working that week before. Yeah, our boss, Dave goes to Nantucket. He's like, just do it. Whatever.

I'm gone. Now, granted, we also work like every other day, weekend under the sun. But the work off that we combined with, like, I guess, like, what you have planned is, like, is make or break from me. Like, you have to have a big party with your boys or, like, your friends plan. If you're going to, like, a family barbecue, fourth of July kind of sucks. Agreed. But it's, it's more, like, around, like, whole thing. The other days around it, I feel like. I will say one thing Christmas has on it is Christmas has a month of hype.

Like, I'm super jacked up and enjoying how awesome Christmas is, like December 7th. Especially living in the city. You walk by, you do the window walking, the window watching. Put up a tree. You got the music. You get Christmas character. It's like the hype around Christmas like defeats everything. Yeah.

And you hear that first like Christmas song. It's beginning to look a lot. You know what I'm here? That's good. Yeah, that'd be excited. Right? We're just a few months away from that. Oh, isn't that off the charts?

Fantastic. I know. We got to get to Halloween first. I like Halloween. What are you guys going to be for Halloween? I'm not dressing up. Really? I haven't been anything in a long time.

Really? Same. Hmm. You're pretty into it, right? You're in mid-20s though. You can still like, and you've got a girlfriend. I feel like that. I'm very into it.

That ups the ante on it. I like to get into Halloween this year. Yeah. I like getting into it in the way where I watch a ton of scary movies. And I like it by candy. Really? That's really it. Okay.

And fall weather's fun. Maybe it'll be Bryson. I could see you being Bryce. Wear the whole outfit, walk around with like pro tractors and shit. Yeah. Walk around real slow. Real slow. So slow.

Just as slow as slow as walker. You've got people be running you over on the sidewalk. True. You're so mad at you. I wish him happy birthday. He didn't say thank you. Wow. Did you read it?

I didn't wish it to him on Instagram. That was a mistake. I sent a tweet. I said, happy birthday to Bryson. I hope all of your science experiments are successful. He's not as active on Twitter. Instagram. He's all over that.

That was a mistake. That was probably a mistake. Anyway, Fourth of July, Rory, loves Fourth of July. And then the other thing we'll talk about real quickly, European tour, the tracking players this week. They're going to be publicly posting times at the BMW PGA. Step in the right direction. Basically, they've got this innovation plan.

They're calling it trial, pace of play system, blah, blah, blah. What they're doing is they're putting a monitor, a little monitor with on, they're just attaching it to one golf bag in each group. That way they can just see. It's like a GPS thing. They can just see exactly where you are on the course. The most important part of this, publicly posting times. Huge.

You know what's a great motivator? No, it's a great teacher. Shame. Shame teaches. If players are going to see this, they're going to know, they're going to hurry it up. I think it's a great idea. Shame is a great motivator. It's a great teacher.

It also says on T video boards at several holes will display the position of each group in relation to the group in front of them. That way, again, shame. That way the players, referees and spectators. Wow. Shame. All will know exactly how well each group is keeping up. That's huge.

Dude, because as regular golfers, we feel that sometimes on these GPS screens where it's like minutes behind. You are 11 minutes behind. You're like, man, we got to fucking pick this thing up. Oh, yeah. Because I know someone in the clubhouse is like thinking, like they have some sort of software where they can see that we're 11 minutes back. And they're going to start like thinking down upon us. Yeah, I think that software, it's just like a screen. Yeah.

They just have a screen in the pro shop. And what's worse is when it goes from when you're on time and pace, it's green. And then it just says in like red. like 11 minutes behind you. Like, oh, fuck, that ain't good. I noticed that when we were at Liberty, we were like, I mean, we were also doing a video and we were the only people out there. But at one point it was like 22 minutes behind pace.

I was like, oh, I was like, are we just going to get like shot and killed out here? I will say we are typically slow because we always film. Yeah. But we just, we tell. We have like six people with us to film guys for, you know. And we don't really hit shots until we're in position for somebody to film them. So we definitely go a little slow sometimes. I played around this summer with my buddy.

And it was, there was zero filming being done. It was like a Friday morning. He's like, hey, we can get out to my course at like 7.30. We played in two hours and 50 minutes. Wow. Just the, we walked. Wow. It was, we took one caddy between the two of us.

We walked. Played in two hours and 50 minutes. Wow. That's a dream. We played fucking fast at Cherry Valley, me and Trent. Yeah, we did. We played like three hours and 20 minutes. It was like just pristine golf.

What a feeling that is. Yeah. Our last round abandoned last year. I remember because we did, let's see, we went, you know, Friday, one round Saturday, Sunday, 36 each day. And then we didn't drink much Sunday night. We woke up. We had one round.

They were going to the airport on Friday, or on Monday morning. It was just three of us. One other guy left early. We played that round. Three guys with one caddy, I think. We played that in three hours and ten minutes. So it's amazing what you can do when you're like. Just focus on.

What else? What also helps is when you play well. Yeah. Yeah. You know, if you're like not looking for balls a whole time, you can go faster.
