Lurch, how funny was yesterday when we were getting tossed around that tube? I wanted to talk about that. We'd hit like, boom, boom. And then you survive and you're like, woo-hoo! And you look to the right, and Trent's gone. He's gone, gone.

And you don't know when we lost it. You don't know what bump it was. You don't know where he is in the lake. but you know that we lost one of our guys. Foreplay brought to you by Barcelona Sports presented by Chevy. That's new for you, Lurch. We got Chevy now. Sure is.

A few things are new for you, me. But yeah. Yeah, that's fair. We got everybody in Big Cedar Lodge or in Southern Missouri. First time everybody's together on a podcast. We got myself, Lurch, Dan, Trent, Frankie. We got a lot to get to. We have Cole Swindell on the show as well.

One of my favorite people, one of the nicest guys in the world. And he's blown up as a country star. haven't seen him in person since right before we did the country star match two years ago we had drinks with him the night before and we had the bartender there who played it very cool for like an hour and then he went to the bathroom and the bartender came out and was like I can't believe you guys are just this calm with Cole Swindell at the bar so he's the man he's a really nice guy loves golf he's got some bangers I'm a country fan so I was not on that interview excited to listen to it Cole Swindle ended the show it's early we don't do well with early

historically and we're pretty banged up. We tried to kind of dance around this yass night. We were trying to figure out a time to do it. And we were thinking, oh, can we squeeze it in after this round or that round? I think we all knew that it was going to come to 7.30 in the morning. And here we are, 7.30 in the morning podcast.

Frankie's really down bad right now. Frankie's down. And I don't like to complain about early. I like to complain to you guys about early. But I don't like to be like on the podcast being like, oh, it's so early because I know people will be like, there's people who get up at 5 in the morning. and they do this and they do that and I get it.

But my body's just not wired to get up early. So when you have me up early, I'm going to kick and scream a little bit. Once I get this coffee in my body, I'll be mostly fine. But I will say the initial alarm in the morning made me want to scream. What's the earliest you've ever done? Oh, I mean, I've done it all. But like... In the last two years.

Oh, oh, early as podcast or just earliest? No, just earliest get up. I mean, I'm a 33-year-old man. so I've kind of done it all. But for the podcast, this is about as early as we've done, I would say. Riggs is probably done at the earliest because of the time change. Yeah. We will do 930 podcasts on the East Coast and Riggs has to get up at like 530.

Yeah, but I would say when you move out there, you're used to it because our whole company works on East Coast time. So do you go to bed earlier? Way earlier than you used to when you were living in. Yeah, I fall asleep before 10 most nights. Oh, interesting. That's cool. And so if I'm up at five, I mean, I still go to bed. seven hours to sleep. It's not a big deal. I would be very

interested to get Frankie Borelli's perspective on this early morning. Frankie? Yeah, I feel like shit. Yeah. Why do you feel like shit? Because I was tortured, dragged through... Waterboarded. You were not dragged. You were gently guided by a seasoned captain. This is what we're going to do now. So we went out on to talk about how fucking horrifying it was all day yesterday and this morning and then once we get on the podcast, you're going to talk about how

no, it was horrible. I'm saying it. I don't know if you were drag. man once in your life. I don't talk about what actually happened. We held a gun to your head and we made you get on these skis. I was feeling good. We went on a boat yesterday. I was feeling good. I went I did the tubing thing. That was a lot of fun. I got tossed off the tube. I was having a great time. We were on our way back in and everyone's like, Frankie, get on the fucking skis. I'm like, I don't want to get on the

skis. I don't know how to ski. I don't know how to ski. But then you had that Frankie smirk and you were like, all right, I was like, all right. Like, you better have the fucking camera. I'm not doing this shit for free. I think I said that word for word. You might have. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm not to be able to do it. And you're like, yes, you will. Did you give five or six good attempts? You really gave a good effort, I will say.

Yeah, seven attempts I ended up. Seven was it? Now I think it's being colored in a negative when I thought I was having a lot of fun with it. I thought it was like, we all thought you were going to get it. I think you thought you were going to get it. I did. And it was like if you had done it, it would have been amazing.

It would have been. I wanted to do it. See those little toothpicks pop out of the water? I tried. I tried my hardest to water ski. I got a lot of messages being like you get water ski. you're pathetic athletes like well when you were like 11 and you tried to water ski for the first time you probably weren't the best water ski ever that was the first time i've ever tried it dude it's hard

i when i was when went down to georgia for the first time to work with tillery i tried it and i was just as bad as you were i drank just as much lake water as you did and i watched and i watched tillery's young sons go after me and be professionals so you're right if you start younger it's like anything else like golf it's like golf it's like baseball it's like soccer it's like anything else if you start early when you're developing, it develops with you. And now we as men in our late 20s and early 30s are trying new things, we're going to be pretty bad at it. The real problem is the upper body was used to the first time in like years. And I've got a lot of torn muscles inside my shoulder, my pecks, my tits, my back. So last night was one of the worst nights of sleep I've ever got it.

I was first here in the morning and Frankie comes out, not the brag. And Frankie comes out from his room and goes, I slept 20 minutes last night, I thought I was having a heart attack. Dude, I've got something going on, my back left shoulder blade and my left tit where I thought I was having a fucking heart attack. And I couldn't lay on my back. Like, I couldn't sleep the way I usually sleep.

I couldn't sleep on my side. I couldn't sleep on my side. I couldn't sleep on my stomach was impossible because my nose was all clogged up from all that lake water. I mean, I feel like I have a struck throat right now. It was a nightmare. Did the cricket join you again?

What? The cricket back for night two? No, he was gone. Thank God. So the first. night, Frank, he had to deal with a cricket. It was cricket in my room. Just screaming at you all night.

Just screaming at me all night. Couldn't find it. I was throwing things at the window. I'm having a great time. I am having a great time. That was just a fucking nightmare yesterday. Dude, it was actually great, though, to watch you. Like, you wanted it.

And I think Dan said it. It was like, dude, flight number three was your best chance. And then... We regressed a little bit out. Yeah. And then the strength of the baby fawn was definitely... Yeah, for any of this tiring. But it was a great effort.

It was a great effort. And a big effort. And a big effort. And a big... part of the problem is the energy you use when you're waiting for the boat to come back around and trying to get yourself in position for another run. That's the worst part.

Just a bully. Just didn't even think about blowing his arms. I've got this huge life vest on me that's like heavier than I am with all the water on me and it's just sucking me like away from the boat and like these huge fucking skis won't let me turn around. I don't know man.

It was bad. It was a bad attempt but it's more about the sleep last night and the ankles because the last three attempts the skis didn't come off me and I kind of just got my legs just caught underneath the water and I have got bad ankle issues right now he was trying to ski and the skis would take on water think about they would go down into the water boom on my ankles right then you just sink we had some bad falls yesterday um did you take a bad fall no that's nice i got lucky well i bailed out before yeah like when we i just quit i was skiing and i knew i was tired

and I quit. You fought it till the very end and you went out spectacularly and that had to hurt like a motherfucker. And you're a big body going down in there. I know. Shock, there's some pictures that I hope

get burned. Honestly, it's fine. It's really, it's eye opening to the size and the mass that I have around my stomach right now. When I was trying to help T get up on the tube

and I'm on all fours, it is one of just the ugliest photos of humankind that I've ever seen. Let's talk about one of the better parts of the trip, which is what kind of car did you rent? Chevy. I had a chance. I had a chance to rent a car at a higher class and I said no, and I rented the Chevy, and it's the best decision I've ever made.

From Bolt to Blazer, Equinox to Silverado, Chevy EVs are for everyone everywhere. A few of Chevrolet's beloved of bestselling have been designed as electric vehicle models powered by Ultium. Chevrolet has electric vehicles available now. Okay, right now. By now, the Bolt EV, the Bolt EUV, reserved. now the Blazer EV, the Silverado EV. I think I'm going to get a Blazor EV.

They're affordable so you don't have to be rich to have an EV. That's a common misconception. You got to be rich. Nope, not anymore. Chevy's got EVs. You can get, they call them EVs for everyone everywhere. We love you Chevy. All right, big cedar.

We're on day three. We've played Paines Valley, played Top of the Rock, and then yesterday played Ozarks National. Did dinner last night at the Top of the Rock restaurant there. I can't remember what the exact name in that restaurant is, but what's that? Osage. I think that's right. Osage.

Osage. I think it's Osage. But spectacular overlooking Table Rock Lake. We got there a little bit after sunset because we were on the boat. But your guy's first time here. General impression so far. It's amazing. It really is.

I mean, I'm a Midwest guy. I've never been to this part of Missouri, the southern part. I've seen Paines Valley on TV from the match a couple years ago, and we played that the first day here. And that place is incredible. It's just as good as you think it's going to be. And it's playable, which I love. I love courses that we go to that are playable.

Sometimes we go to courses that are really hard, and it's a real grind for me. Paines Valley, I wouldn't even see, the word easy is not the word I would use. But the word I would use is playable, and I had a great time. I know Frankie really love Parenthood. Paines Valley but I've had a overall I've had a great time this cabin that we're

staying in is not to be believed it's really great there's a lot of dead animals hanging on the wall which there are which I like right now which I like it's it's it's the flavor of the place that you're at massacre in here yeah it's about as different from New York City as you could possibly get which I like and I think that's awesome yeah just

reminded me up quickly we did a story a while ago on the fence remember the deer's on the fence you can just donate all those deers to this place Pretty much, yeah. Anyways, what I was saying was, it's hard to imagine two golf courses. These deers were killed intentionally. Deer. Deer. No ass, right?

I think it's just deer. Is it a deer? Is it a plural? I think the ones at the golf course were killed intentionally as well. Unintentionally. They just jumped on the fence and got. I think someone was out for those deers at those points. Potentially.

I mean, you had to get a gist that this is a deer killer and you kept the fence up. So, Danny, back to you. Yeah, thank you, sir. My friend Lurch. Lurch and I are becoming boys. You guys are also roommates. We're rooming this trip. We're having a lot of roommate banter.

We guys hate each other on the course, though. Neither of us snore, which is really electric. I can't believe Lurch doesn't snow. Some nights I do. It's just the luck of the draw. You have like a calming presence on him, Dan? My roommate history with him is much different. I think whoever falls in first is the winner.

Because last night we had a bunch of dairy, and I think tonight that if we're rooming. You think it's like a 24-hour delay? The dairy thing is crazy. It like just locks me up. breathing becomes very difficult. Frankie hates when I take Lugis, but I, like, cannot breathe. So, therefore, I have to clear my throat.

And it's, Frankie's... Your dairy intake mishaps are just as pathetic as me not being able to, like, handle water skiing and, like, waking up sore. You're insane with the dairy. You're puking on the side of streets. You're fucking coughing up blood. It's like you just ate a piece of cheese.

Nobody in this group is the picture of health. No. I will say about Paines Valley, I'm obsessed with views. I'm obsessed with theatrics and I'm obsessed with Disney and just like the drama behind it all and how they make it feel like a story and you feel like you've entered into a new world.

Paines Valley is that for golf, but I don't think it's cheesy. I don't know how they did it. I think they perfected it. Like, on the 19th hole is obviously the most ridiculous hole you've ever seen. We all see Tiger Woods do it and you saw all the videos

and all the pictures when the place opened up. And then you actually experienced it and like after you finish this incredible round at Paines Valley, You're driving through what feels like a legitimate Disney ride through these caves and all these waterfalls and the waterfalls are going through the rocks that you have to drive over. And it's like an interactive experience. Yeah.

So we were talking about this yesterday. We interviewed one of the, I think it was a general manager and he was saying that Johnny Morris, who's the guy who started Bass Pro Shops who built this whole place. Apparently they call him the Walt Disney of the outdoors. So he's a showman. He's a showman for sure. And they were saying that basically Bass Pro Shops is pretty much on autopilot right now. He's got people who run it. So this is his playground.

This is what he cares about. So he designed that whole thing. He designed the 19th hole. Wasn't designed by Tiger Woods. Apparently Tiger Woods was like stunned when he came in the last visit. Didn't even know they were doing it. So yeah. So Paines Valley is amazing.

I'm going to stand for Ozarks National a little bit right now because I'm a huge core Crenshaw guy. I have yet to play a core Crenshaw golf course that I don't absolutely adore. And this one's just as good as any other one that I've played. And it's amazing how different the golf courses is because they're just really basically across the street from each other. And one of them, as Frankie was saying, it's very theatrical, it's very dramatic. It's an experience.

Ozarks National only opened a year earlier, and it looks like it's been there for 100 years. Right. And that's a credit to the genius of Core Crenshaw in, they don't move a lot of dirt. The routing of that golf course is incredible. We were playing on the side of a mountain, and there's really only one way that golf course could be built, and that's the way they built it. just a minimalist design that doesn't overdo anything. It's a very sort of confident way to build a golf course.

It's hard to explain, but really an awesome, awesome, awesome golf course and just two really, really strong candidates. And I'm talking about this yesterday, Riggs. It's crazy that this place existed for almost 50 years before golf was a thing here. So they perfected everything else before they got to the golf. Yeah, the golf's, it's not to be believed how good the golf is. I would say when you come here, you don't expect it. I think that they even know that like they kind of have the benefit of relatively low expectations.

You go to the Ozarks, you fly into Springfield, Missouri, which I'm a Missouri guy. Springfield's a cool college town, but it's not like you're flying into fucking New York City. You're not flying in and going down to Pebble Beach, like flying in Springfield, Missouri for a golf trip. You probably paid a pretty decent amount for. And you're jacked up and you know that there's pretty good reviews. But again, you're like, all right, if you've been to band and you've been to Pioneers, if you've been to Scotland, you're like, all right. when you get here and you're like holy fuck like and it's hard it's rare for me to have a couple courses that I don't clearly know which one I like more I think I like them both those two

the same I really do and they're wildly different you could show a picture from one show a picture from the other and even though they are you know the first teas are 500 yards away from each other whatever it is there you could instantly tell which one is which there's not one hole at Ozarks that you would confuse for one hole not one you instantly could see a picture and know exactly which course it is because they're that distinguishable um pains i like that they leaned into it if you're going to have a tiger woods course that's like people are going to come and expect something pretty like you know like okay it's tiger fucking woods like it better be crazy special something different and it is and he likes you know

augusta clearly it's his favorite place in terms of how many majors he's won and he likes that aesthetic. Trent and I played Blue Jack National. He likes that aesthetic of the super kind of clean cut bunker edges up against greens, up against fairways. You can tell that the whole way. It's closely moaned pretty much everywhere. There's barely any rough, almost no rough, wide fairways. But again, it's not super easy. The greens are tough. They got a lot of movement. They're huge. So you have kind of these long pots. I think that's probably a little bit of Tigerwood seeping in, too, that he loves the old course. It's his favorite course in the world.

Giant greens there. So you got some wild puts out of pains that you're going to have to hit. And then it's got a little bit of the Johnny Morris. There's a few waterfalls like on, what, 10 and on 18 as you're getting ready to go to 19th hole that are like just giant, like outrageous waterfalls.

But they're cool. You drive through one of them after the 10th hole. You literally drive through the waterfall kind of. So to Frankie's point, like if you like Disney, if you like the theatrics combined with, excellent golf the tiger woods name they got the huge tiger woods logo tea markers on the back t's like you're getting that experience and yeah the other one is is it's all yeah it's like they just

stumbled across it it's the old cliche it's like they stumbled across it through 18 flag sticks in and that's the golf course on ozark so it's really really cool they're kind of like they share the same driving range those two courses and then they've got mountaintop which is the gary player 13 hole part three that we're playing this morning so all of that being right fucking there It's just spectacular that they've come up with that. It really is. It was a pleasure to see Paines Valley. And I think it's just like this very manicured golf course that's just like beautiful.

And I was comparing it to Forest Dunes to you guys yesterday. I'm just like one course is just absolutely spectacular, beautiful. And then the other one's more nature-esque. And, you know, we had some putting woes yesterday. Frankie was very difficult. But the only thing I'll say about Paines is when you close up the 18th hole or 19th hole. If you were in any type of rush, you have a 15-minute cart ride ahead of it before you get out of the place. I mean, you got to be there to enjoy it. Yeah, yeah. If you got to make a call

or something like that, I didn't. But I mean, if you did and you were rushing somewhere, you got 15 to 20 minutes before you get off that golf course. Luckily, if you're out here, you probably got the time. Right. But yeah, yeah, you're going to go through an experience. And I would say that to that degree, don't floor the golf cart. Enjoy it. Because it is almost like a ride. It's a Disney ride. What was great for us, too, is we were the last tea time at Paines Valley. So by the time we finished the 19th hole, it was dark out. And we flipped on the golf cart lights.

And then it really felt like a Disney ride. Yeah. I feel like there's sort of a stigma against the Disney kind of stuff in a lot of golf circles. And I think it's, we're talking about this rig. It's a stupid stigma. You know, there's like a thing that a golf course being manicured or, you know, looking like it, not looking like it's been there for 100 years is a bad thing. But it's fun as hell.

And I think you're right, they leaned into it. They're not pretending that these waterfalls are real. They're not pretending that they just found this golf course. They want to provide an experience. And it's so easy to listen to golf, you know, some golf snobs online and think that manicured is bad or that all waterfalls are bad. And I guess maybe if you're like rating the top whatever, one of these connoisseurs of golf courses, but for 95, 99% of golfers, they're going to drive off that 19th hole being like, that was the coolest experience ever. I had a great time. And I think sometimes we overcomplicate how we conceptualize and how we think about golf courses.

And Paines Valley is just super, super fun. And it doesn't really need to be much deeper than that. When we say the word Disney or when I say it, I'm saying essentially like it's perfect. Like everything's like kind of just thought about. Every aspect of it was thought about where it's like the experience of the person being there. How do we make that experience a 10 out of 10? That's the Disney experience. You walk through a fucking park at Disney.

You can't believe all the cool shit. They're making movies into reality. They're making these ridiculous fairy tale lands into something that you can just walk through. And when you say that for golf, that's exactly what they did here. It is a perfectly made golf course. Now, maybe it's not the one that is, like you said, it has been it for 100 years, but they did everything, in my opinion, just perfectly. Have way houses on, like, unimaginable.

How about that bar on the 19th hole? Everything's perfect. That thing is spectacular. It was perfectly made. Really? Yeah, and, and pretty much the overarching story of what we're saying is like, and they have both here. You can play Paines Valley and you can play Ozarks National.

Like you don't have to, it's not all one thing and it doesn't have to be. And you guys will see today, Buffalo Ridge is different than the other two as well. Right. Like pretty significantly different. So they got a lot. The fact that the golf is new here is hard to comprehend when you are here because they've done it so well. These lodges that, I guess, cabins, cottages. I think these are technically cabins.

These cabins that they have overlooking Paines. It's the best golf lodging I've ever stayed in, I think. Yeah, I mean, I'm deciding between if Paines Valley or like Pebble Beach are my top courses I've ever played in my entire life. And I was telling a Trent, like if I had someone that said I'm dying next week, I need to go play a course where are you sending me? I'd probably send you to Pebble. But then if you're saying I had like five days to spend, I think I might send you right here. I thought you're going to say if you have five days to live and you go to. No, no.

Like if you want to do it, a trip. Yeah, yeah. I think this might be the ultimate golf resort. Well, you can also bring your family here. Right. That's a little different between, you know, you go to band and like, that's a boys' trip. You're going with the boys. You know, the wife's not going to want to go.

There's nothing really to do. As we were talking about earlier, they perfected this place as a vacation destination that golf was just a tiny, insignificant part of for 45 years before they decided to add the golf stuff. So this is a place for the whole family for sure. Yeah, the trip here is great. It's really, really great. I'm doing my buddy's manual St. Louis, you know, hometown crew, buddies trip here next year. We've done Cabot. We did the Wisconsin Loop.

We did Pinehurst. And then we're doing here. And yeah, I've been asked, you know, we told Matt last night who we got dinner with. We get asked this shit all the time. Where should I play it? We're trying by my buddy's trip go. Where should we play in this city, that city? For me, this is a top five golf resort that I've been to.

I think the golf is that good. they've got two part threes. We live for short courses. We talked about that a lot, how the fun short courses are. The views are spectacular. It's different. And you have a bunch of fucking options.

You can go boating. We went boating yesterday. You can do go-karts. You can drive into Branson, which is 10, 15 minutes away, and go to little dive bars or sports bars. You can go to the spa. You can stay in the main lodge,

which has been here for 50 years or whatever. You can eat at a bunch of different restaurants. There's just, you can go fishing. There's a million different things. do we here. So I'm a big fan. I like the golf. We're talking about experiences. Nothing's better than getting a live event experience. Love it. Game time? Through game time. Huge game moment last night. Aaron Judge. 62. Home run King, American League. What a moment. Probably wanted to be there. Yeah, I would have loved to be there. I've been watching every game, every at bat, all the live

cut-ins during football and everything. I mean, I've been living and dying with Aaron Judge since He was at like 59. We missed 62. Michael Kay had a horrific home run call. What do he say? He just was lazy. He just like... 61 wasn't very good either.

I didn't think. No, Michael K's like a whore for the moment. He like wants... He thinks that... It's about him. He is attached to the moment for history. So like he takes it very seriously and he wants to be like the great call. But that stuff doesn't work when it's like premeditated.

Did you hear Sterling's calling out? Sterling's call was incredible. Was it? I haven't heard it. It's judgment day. Case closed. Come on. Oh, that was sick.

That gave me chills. Done. That's great. Yeah, but like... And then Michael K didn't even say anything as the ball was in the year because he was shuffling through his papers to see what he wrote down while he was jerking his cock. Like, like, how he's going to be, like, I'm going to be the fucking, I'm going to be in the history books for this one.

No, Michael K. You know what I don't like Michael K too? Because Mike Francesi used to bully him around the ratings ring. Mike Francesi used to say he was number one and Michael K was just this like college station guy that like no one actually cared about. And Michael Casey gets so mad. He cried on air. Him and Donovan McGregard cried on air saying that we're number one actually if you look at the

real ratings. And Mike Francesca said, who are those guys? He kept saying who were they? Michael Fay, what? He's like, the announcer for the Yankees and Mike Francisor refused to acknowledge who he was. And I hated Michael King for that to everybody. He did. They'd be like, Michael Kay is actually number one.

And Francesca said, who's that? Yeah. Michael Kay showed him. I'll take off either. No, but it's just, you know, and he's my announcer. He's the Yankees announcer. who's been that for my whole life at this point. Yeah, I just thought it was a horrific call,

and I wish I could have been there, so I'd have to hear it. I wish I could have gotten to the game. Game time could have gotten you there. The exclusive ticketing partner of Arsenal Sports, created by fans, four fans. Been using Game time for a couple of years now, gone to a lot of cool stuff.

You guys went to an NBA. I'm going to NBA game this fall. That's my commitment. I've never been to one. Never been to an NBA game. Well, I feel like I'm having a hard time. I think I'm having a hard time. I know.

Right. I know. How far that Scottsdale, from the arena. It's like a half hour. Far, 25, 30 minutes. Dude, they're good, too. I will say it's fun in Scottsdale

when they play, the bars are hopping. Yeah. Sons are very popular. The suns just lost to an Australian basketball team. What do you see that? It's preseason. They played all their starters. They were probably hungover.

Doesn't matter. That's crazy. Their starters played? And then I just got thinking about how we all just say, oh, you're the world, you're the world champs. It's like, maybe not. Huh. They did lose, and there was like 127 to 1.20,

like they were points scored. Right. Right. It was like 120. I think it was 120 something to 130 something. So it was like an eight point game game game. Yeah.

I mean, like a couple of years ago, like I remember like Ricky Rubio. You know, like, redeem code for $20 off. I was to Australia. They did. Do they have somebody who's like a stud? You have to. They must. I mean like a couple of years ago, like I remember like Ricky Rubio, you know, like it was like who's this guy. Oh my God. I mean, think about, like, the Jordan team played against. Who was it that they had to end up coming back and winning with the dream team?

Oh, I don't know about the dream team. Oh, Dream Team smoked everybody. The Redream Team Spain. They struggled with Spain a couple times. Yeah, that was the Rubios and the Gasol. Yeah. Some of those. Sergei Baca.

There was that right? Yeah, he played for Spain. I thought Jordan's team like had trouble against like, no, they won't work. I think they beat every team by an average like 45. Yeah. I'd have to look at home. No, it was the first team that they played with had trouble. It was in the documentary.

And there was like one guy that they couldn't beat. Like he was a fucking problem. Are you thinking of Tony Kukotch? Yeah. Yeah, but I don't think, I think that he had like zero points. Scotty Pippen ruined his life. Okay. This was like he was in a contract dispute and they were playing Tony Kukukach, I think

his name was? Kooch. Kooch and he had signed with the Bulls or whatever and Pippin was pissed that they signed him. And Pippin, like he cried also. Pippen, I think, yelled him to like one point. And I think Kooch had said something. Maybe. Like I'm coming.

into the bowls and something like and Pippin's like I'm gonna be on you like Pippin took it upon him to embarrass that man and he did I got any ended up being great yeah he's a big part of the of the second three Pete yeah um that tore muscle right on my heart I do the closest of the eight matches with team USA is 117 to 85 victory over Croatia in the gold medal game 32 points was the closest yeah okay they did okay did they play him before that so they played Croatia they might have played Croatia in the round robin and then also played them in the gold medal game or something like that.

They don't like fucked up Tony Kukuch. Kukoch. Wow. So there's a bunch of legends on that roster from there. Oh yeah, then, yeah. And before that it was 103 to 70. Yeah, I was wrong. No, I mean, but

yeah. Game time. Frankie, last time you played hurt, you played well, Bannon Dunes. Yeah, true. This one's a little different. I carried you. You did. This one's different.

I just don't feel good. I feel like, you know. I want you guys. I want you guys to know that we're doing this early. I just had a cup of coffee and this is right in the time where I poop. Yeah, when I poop. So if I run out of here, that's the reason. It's just that's, you know, I have my daily movements.

I probably have a parasite in me. We're right in the middle. You know, when you drink all that lake water goes in you and then you just eats away. It's going to strengthen your immune system. You think? You can be all right. Not if you get. a parasite. I'm not going to strengthen it, but.

Will that take my belly away, though? It would, no. It would still be there, but it would drain you out so you'd be so dehydrated. You'd have to like drink water at the same time. You're just like... What exactly is a parasite? It's like a living thing that eats things in your stomach. Yeah. It's no good.

In lakes and oceans, right? I mean, microscopic. That's how you get it, right? Just like drinking a bunch of lake water back. I think it's more ocean water. Is it ocean water? I feel like drinking ocean water is worse than drinking lake water. Salt water will fuck you up. A little bit. Salt water's bad for you. There's just a lot. There's just a lot. lot of living organisms in lake water.

Like any running stream, you want to drink like the running water. You don't want to drink like the pool water that's sitting like where it's just like stagnant. I drank probably two water bottles worth of. It was really stagnant yesterday too. There was no movement in that lake. Are babies technically a parasite? I don't think so.

Alien. Okay. Whoa. I thought we could ask questions. Come on. It's something that's taking resources away from the host. Many people are asking the question. Listen.

Listen, I'm going to Google that right now. What a Google history. Technically, it has to be a yes. Only it's going to get labeled as a parasite. It might technically be a yes. You might open up a door you don't want to start to talk about, you know. It's just. We're going to start to have a conception.

Yeah, it's like, what are you going to do with the parasite? Listen, I'm just here to ask questions. We don't have to talk about it. I don't want to get involved in. Nope. No. We can talk about Bryson DeShambo. I wanted to talk about this last week.

So, Bryson, you know, he, he, a couple things have gone on with him. him, but he had the rope incident, which is incredible. He didn't say anything publicly about it. And then, like, a week later, released, you know, his version of, like, having fun with it, which is the worst video I've ever seen my entire life. Shane Lowry buried him. Shane Lowry buried him. They all did.

It is deservedly so. He just can't do anything properly. Shane Lowry tweeted, like, I can't decide what's worse. This video or the forecast for tomorrow's Dunhill, which was, like, you know, 40 degrees in pissing rain sideways. and JT was like the video's worse. Yeah, so the video sucked, whatever. We all saw it.

But to his credit, I like that he keeps going with the next bad video. I mean, he could stop. But he thinks that video's good. No, right. You're wrong, Lurch.

You're wrong. You're thinking about it in a way that he doesn't think about it. Right. You're giving him credit for something he's not doing, which is thinking about it like, oh, I'm going to make another bad one. It's like funny.

Like, that's what like Aaron Rogers would do. He would like kind of get it to it. degree of like trolling. Yes. Like Bryce is not trolling. He literally thought, I'm going to show that I'm having fun with this now. Here is the way to do it.

Right. And when he put that out, like I've cleared it now, it's cool. Yep. But the feedback, I guess is so bad that I'm thinking that like he, I guess. I wish, we wish he thought the way that you're thinking. I know. I know. Now I'm in a pretzel because I've been, yeah.

He can't believe the feedback to the follow up video. He can't believe the feedback from the original video. He's, he can't believe people aren't sympathetic to the original. Right. I got attacked. rope. Why did they start a go fund me for my medical vision in my right eye? And then he can't believe that like his cool funny, I'm a funny guy that like makes

fun of myself video is being hated on. With like his whole crew that they were all going crazy and nuts. And then he released the statement like a couple days later that was probably a thousand words of nothing. Yeah. All he said was like I'm really trying really hard and I might be misunderstood. But long drive is awesome and thank you to everybody. That was basically the whole statement.

I think I read it three times expecting to see some sort of announcement, some sort of message. And it was just, I want some goodwill. So I'm going to put a big statement out there and just make myself and look like the best guy in the world. Do you think he's the least intentionally funny person in the world? Like, is he incapable of actually being funny? I think those are two different things, but maybe yes to both. Do you know what I'm saying, though? Like, he's never tried.

Like, he just can't be everything he just says is like cringe, basically. I think he's everything. I know and I hate using that word because it's just like it's such an internet word that people just use. But unfortunately for him, he might, he's the guy. I think it's the he's the guy. It's also really terrible that like ropes are everywhere at golf courses and every time there's someone like going under a rope now. Like everyone's going to think about Bryce. Everyone, they're going to have videos all year next year of guys like really slowly ducking under ropes.

Like it's a bit now and there's a lot of ropes at golf courses. Alex's guy, Josh Allen ducked under rope after the last game. And everybody was like, oh, I remember when Bryson couldn't do that. Like covered his eyes. He did, yeah. So he was playing it up a little bit. He was definitely playing it. But no, to your point, Riggs, he's, I don't think he's incapable of being funny in his current form.

Like, he almost needs, he needs consultants outside of his current circle, which he refuses to do. He will never do that. But if he had someone outside to be like, to that he took advice from in terms of like how to handle PR, that's the only way. But the way he has it structured now, he cannot be funny. No, he sucks. Yeah, he does. I've flopped on this guy my whole life with him, you know, ever since he came into our lives, I've liked him, hated him.

A couple months ago, I liked him because I thought he was like sticking to his guns, doing his YouTube videos. I thought he was like, you know, doing something to no one else was doing. Now it's just, I can't back a guy like that. He sucks. It would be a real- No one cares about the long drive. Not one person.

He got second, right? He got second. I don't think it was the actual, like, main long drive remax. It didn't seem like it was. the main long drive championship but yeah he got to the finals when he first started doing long drive thought he was going to change golf like it was going to become this huge thing everyone was going to tune in like it was going to be this like home run derby of golf we'd all watch it would be prime time and like he just didn't do that he hadn't really succeeded with it no one cares about

long drive and he continues to shove it down on throats and like getting all excited after he hits a drive it's just like dude do this on your own that's why it's not interesting there's no layers to it there's one it's one singular thing They try to hit a golf ball as far as they can't. That's it. There's nothing else. There's no strategy. There's no recovery.

There's no like changing this idea and that. It's literally you just hit the ball as far as you can. That's it. And there's no, that's not going to be entertaining to be. In home run derby, I get people make the comparison. Home run derby is exciting because of who's in it.

Right? It's exciting because like the characters are doing the thing and it's fun once a year. If it was just, if the home run derby was just, you had random meatheads from all around the world who just, they were one specific thing. was to just win home run derby, and that was the championship,

literally nobody would care about it. Literally nobody. It's because of like you get the stars that are out there and the theatrics and they dramatize it, and they pains of All-Star game. It's fun. And it's an uphill battle because home runs are

objectively cooler than long drives. Long drives are cool. Right. But home runs are really cool. It's pretty of theatrics, actually. I got a DM saying, mind-blowing Disney fact for you, behind the Department of Defense,

Disney is the world's second largest buyer of explosives for their fireworks shows. That checks out. That does check out. I feel like they have fireworks every single night. Yeah. So they do that every night? Oh my God.

Like multiple times. Every night at every park in every park around the world. You know what I'm saying? Oh yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. And it's like an hour long show.

What do you say last night if the temperature drops below 75? 65. 65, 130 fireplaces, all them automatically get lit up with fire. I didn't know that. That's just the company mandate here. That all the fireplaces, yes, all like, I guess not private rooms, but all public room fireplaces.

He said there's 77, I think. There's 77 fireplaces. I think he said there's 77 fireplaces and the second that it goes below 65 degrees, every single one on property gets lit. And somebody said, you must go through a lot of firewood. And he's like, we go through an amazing amount of firewood. And somebody goes, that must cost a lot for firewood. He goes, it's all about the obiance.

That's what this place is. They don't, because we've been talking about it a lot since we got to do that like, oh my God, what, what type of money is going into this place? How much? What's the boulder budget? Because there's so many boulders everywhere. And every time you run into an employee and they're like, this is pretty crazy.

What's it cost? They're like, it's not about that. It's about the feeling. It's about the experience. We don't care about how much it costs. That's how you know you're getting older is like, you know, when I was 15, I'd walk into here and just be like, this is the coolest place ever. Now when I walk in here, I'm like, look at the least $800.

bucks. Right. We had like, look at the Hupkeep costs. We had a, we had like a five-minute conversation about the couch that you and I are sitting on. I think I'd be like $4,000. At least, bro. That's guys who were like recently furnished apartments.

Look at the woodwork, dude.
