Foreplay with your guys Riggs, that's me, our buddy Trent. What's up? Happy 4th of July, folks. I'm in the office. We're recording Sunshine and myself in studio. Trent Daddy is in a very special place right now.

The most special place, a very special place in my heart. I am back home. I'm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the first time. I moved to New Year. York, I believe, December 29. And this is my first time back at all. So it's been about six months since I've been to the homeland. So I'm currently there right now. So yes, I'm in a very special place. Did you kind of return as like a conquering hero? A little bit. I mean, my family is really excited to see me obviously and they like what I do and they think it's very exciting.

They want to ask me about everything. The thing you forget or the thing that I guess I forgot is we've done all these cool things in the past six months, especially sometimes. of those things with this podcast, or I would say most of those things with this podcast. So I had all those things backlogged in terms of things they wanted to talk about. They wanted to talk about the masters, TPC Sawgrass, David Faradie, all these things I want to talk about. You're just bragging to the listeners right now about all the cool shit that you've been able to do in the last couple months.

I like it. Well, it was a little bit like that. And so when I'm talking to my family, they're asking all these questions about things that I hadn't thought about in a while because once we do them, we don't like, we don't dwell on them. We try to move on to the next thing. So I've just been talking to them about all the cool shit I'd done So maybe they kind of felt like I was bragging on their faces too

Yeah, I mean that makes sense But anyways I you know did you have a good fourth of July Weekend trip vacation where you want to call it Having a good fourth of July it's still ongoing right now I had three things that I wanted to talk about in terms of Iowa I'll burn through him quickly here Okay The first thing was I got off the plane I have a nephew

He's 12 years old last time I saw him was obviously six months ago Saw him as soon as I got off the plane out the plane, his voice has changed drastically. He's got a deep voice now. Wow. That's weird. Which was, it was shocking. So it was like I was talking to a new person.

Yeah, you're like, who is this person? Like, this is not, that's not our person. Yeah. And then even when I, like, be back at the house talking and stuff and he'd chime in because he's quiet. He's kind of like a moody 12-year-old. So when he would chime in, I'd feel like there was like another man that I had not met in a while.

And he would just, it would fuck me up. It still screws me up when I talk to him. And then the second, Fireworks are now legal in Iowa since I got back. Whoa. That's exciting and also kind of dangerous. Well, it's like, so I grew up in Iowa. I lived there for 27 years, and I leave.

I lived that whole time 27 years where there's no fireworks. It's very illegal. We would still take trips to Riggs'i's home state of Missouri to buy them illegally. You can fucking, you can basically fire missiles in Missouri. Like, nobody gives you shit down there. Well, so, yeah. So then I leave, and they immediately make them legal again. And so they made them legal probably three or four weeks ago.

And Cedar Rapids is currently going through a phase where they are just beyond excited that fireworks are legal. I couldn't tell you. It hasn't gone probably 20 minutes without fireworks going off. It's just like constantly people are so excited. It's like when you get a new toy or something, you've got to play with it. That's what Cedar Rapids is like with fireworks right now. And it's a little dangerous. Yeah, you guys are kind of going through like a little adolescent phase where now, you know, you've got a little freedom.

You're kind of whipping around fireworks, lighting shit on fire, hoping nothing bad happens. happens so much so that the rumor is that three houses have already burned down in the area because people are going so crazy we my dad almost burned down our house when i was a kid really yeah he we so we live in like a cul-de-sac and my dad for whatever reason he's really not a he's the least flashy person in the world but for whatever reason he fucking loves fireworks like loves him i think he's just like blowing shit up and so you know he would always go to the store by hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks for fourth of july and put on a show. He thought it was like his responsibility to put on a show. And so he would use like a bucket

as his launching pad, put it upside down right in the middle of the court, right the middle of Calde-Sac. And, you know, a bunch of the neighbors would come around, chip in some of their own fireworks. My brother's friends and all them at the time, they're older than I was, would be kind of drinking beers. I was like a little 12-year-old rigsy or something like that. And he gets to the finale guy, which is this thing that, you know, shoots off like 20 rockets. It blows up forever. It's supposed to be really great. Well, the thing, like, he claims that it, like, malfunctioned. Who knows? But bottom line was it kind of, like, fell off of the bucket. So instead of shooting up into the sky, it was just shooting at the houses. So people in my, in my court are fucking running

around, diving behind bushes. And we had a bunch of, like, our bushes in front of our house were super dry, you know, it was like mid- Midwestern summer. And one, he shoots a fucking rocket right into our house, who a whole bushes in front of our house go up in flames. Like the flames are higher than our house. And luckily one of my brother's buddies heroically had like a fire extinguisher in his Jeep or something. He comes running around the corner. We barely put it out.

But like the screens on the windows on the second floor inside of the house were like black and like melted from how intense the flames were. Jesus. So yeah, big fireworks people. They can be a little dangerous, but they're a good time. Oh, and one last thing about the fireworks where this is how you know we're getting old. I got back and I heard fireworks were legal because I didn't know anything about it. I hadn't checked up on it. And I was like, sweet, I'm going to get together with all my friends and we've been laying off,

we've been wanting to let off legal fireworks for years. A lot of my friends now have kids and they're married. So I would meet up with them where I was like, I was like trying to text. I'm like, we should go do fireworks. They're like, oh, I got to watch the kid, blah, blah, we can't do them in my neighborhood because it would wake up the kid. That was over where I realized I'm getting older and I'm not. They're all aging appropriately.

they have wives and kids and houses, and I'm just like this lunatic that comes back from New York who thinks he's 15 years old and wants to light off a bunch of legal fireworks. Yeah, it's tough to kind of come off as like a very normal and fitting in. You're like, this is, we're not on the same path here, folks. No, no. Okay, so then my last thing about Iowa,

you would ask me if I was coming back like a conquering hero? Yes and no. You know who really came back like a conquering hero? My pal Riggs-y, because my family absolutely loves you. I did not know that. Yes. Right. It was the craziest thing. I have a couple of siblings. Like, my parents don't really listen to Foreplay, so they don't know, like, our dynamic and how we, you and I are in this thing kind of together. But my brothers and sisters, they listen to Foreplay. They watch dual scenes. They do everything. And they could not be bigger fans of Sam Bozoa. Wow. The Ryan, well, I, hello, the Ryan family. Thank you for so much for being big fans of me. I have like a stunning smile on my face right now. I did not know that was coming. But good to know there's some fans out there.

We're back at the bar that I used to always go to sitting having beers. And I'm thinking they're going to be like, oh, Trent, you're the big city guy. Oh, you're so big. Oh, you're the best. And then they're like, you've got to tell us about Riggs. He is so cool. He's the best. It's like, Jesus Christ.

So if you have no other fans, you have many fans in the Ryan family. Well, suck it, Trent. That feels good to get a little bit of a win there. That's nice. All right. Well, good. I'm glad you got some Iowa stuff. Some Iowa notes from your return.

When are you coming back? I fly back like tomorrow afternoon. So I'll be in the office Thursday. It'll be my when I'm back. Beautiful. Well, we can't wait to have you back, buddy. And there is also a part of me where like I can't wait to get back to New York. I do miss New York.

Iowa is great. I love it. I always will. But it is the thing we've got going on in New York is so cool that you kind of want to run back to it. I agree. Yeah, I was out on Montauk for the weekend. And I'd never been out there before. It's crazy.

It's an absolutely crazy shit show of a place. There's just endless partying. The people are unbelievably good looking. It's insane. I've never seen a collection of just more beautiful people everywhere you go, every direction that you look. Everybody just wants to drink and have fun. There's all these outdoor bars on the beach.

I'm a blogger. I'm not like a beach body type person. So you're just walking around the beach. You're like, well, I would probably fit in better if I was jacked and, like, worked out and took that part of your life. like it was a reality instead of just being like nobody actually does that

turns out they do and they were all there walking around kind of talking to each other it was awesome Montauk was really fun like you kind of said by Monday I was ready

to get the fuck out of there and I did took a little train home played a little golf this morning played at this place called Deepdale that I had never been to before I had never even

really heard of it but apparently it's super ritzy it was but it was lovely the greens everything was in fantastic condition people almost made it sound like I'm not even supposed to tell people that I'm going there.

That's how like, a trap door is going to come up and you just disappear if you, tell people you were there. I was there. I was there. It was great. And I was able to track all my stuff. You know why? Oh, a little app called 18 birdies app.

wrote down trent had his little i had a couple notes from last week's podcast that i wanted to address one i was definitely drunk on last week's podcast i had several people respond to that did you get people responding to being like you were drunk on last week's podcast i got like a handful being like wow riggs he needs to do every podcast drunk this is electric well that's you rather get those responses than like hey pal get it together here's a like a brochure for a yeah yeah yeah I actually, I only think, like, one out of the five or ten that I received was negative, where they were like, you are fucking asshole for doing that. I was like, well, you know, whatever.

I will say I could tell you were drunk and I just didn't even care. Like, I knew it was going to be fine and you were, you were, it was pretty much the same podcast as we normally do. You were just a little more tuned up with the booze up your run with the restauranteurs. Yeah, I would agree. So, yeah, that's what I was going to say. Yes, I was drunk. No, it was not my fault. I, we played in, like I said, the Kyle Rudolph.

charity golf event champions for children celebrity golf tournament out in minnesota as we talked about and i got paired up with the restaurant tours as we also talked about and they just got me really drunk and i mean so you know i was just a function of i was out there being a celebrity for children and for charity and that's what happens when you do that here's the here's the thing rigs you it is your duty to spread the name the barstool brand you do not want to be the guy who gets mixed or gets matched up with a group like that. And then like is like, no, no, I can't. I can't drink this much.

I got to go do a podcast. Right. That's then they're like, we put. Then if someone's like, hey, you ever heard of barstool sports? Those guys would be like, yeah, we went with this fucking square who wouldn't drink with us on the golf course. So you were doing your duty as a barstool brand ambassador. And that was exactly my thought was that I'm not out here just having fun drinking,

playing golf as like Sam. No, I'm ricks. Like I'm out here. I have to drink with these people. I have to. It's like it's just, it's what I'm required to do. I'm working. And that was a work day.

So, yeah, that wasn't my fault. I was drunk. We also, we've had quite the reaction from, to Frankie Borelli. Just openly saying that he steals range balls from the driving range, goes to a local part three course, hits like 80 balls on or near the green, and then just walks away and goes home. Which, so initially the reaction to that, people were horrified. I think us in the room, we all filmed that or recorded that in a hotel room. There was real, like, tension and awkwardness in the air after he said that because it's a pretty fucked up thing to do to hit a bunch of golf balls, make a bunch of ball markers on the green

and then not even pick them up. Yes. But then it seems like, so then even the next day, the Twitter reaction to that was Frankie Brealey's an asshole, Frank Brilley's this, he's that, he's a horrible person. But then it sounds like when him and Ria and Roan hosted a radio show together when we were all doing the combine, it seems like the radio listeners were on Frankie's. side. So it's kind of split down the middle in terms of the reaction. Yeah, which so, you know, it's, it's weird how split the reaction has been. I obviously was

very upset at first. I was like, Frankie, you are an evil person. You should die. Then he's kind of been backtracking, not bad. He's kind of been doing this whole explanation of like, you know, A, I don't hit the green. He's like, he keeps being like, people are acting like a tiger fucking woods out here. If I'm aiming at a green, I'm not putting a million ballmarks on the I'm hitting the green like one out of five times. So that's true. It's not as bad. He does admit that like he probably shouldn't have just left the balls there.

And that's the part that people don't like. I will say one of the funier comments about this whole thing when we were talking about it with KFC was it's very, very, very funny to envision every single morning a guy going out to that hole and finding another 80 balls out there and being like, what is going on? Being like this, God, this adversary of mine, I hate this guy. leaves all these balls. He was out again last night. God damn it. Like this poor guy. And France has made a great point, too, of like, if you went out and did that in a really nice country club, like, those people that are working there, you know, they kind of like are part of this big system and they're very well compensated.

And a lot of them, you know, they either live on the property or they get playing privileges or whatever. Frankie's being like, no, it's like some dog shit like public track part three course. And Francis is like, well, then that guy's really minors. miserable and got nothing to look forward to the guy that's going out and cleaning those up. And Frankie's making his life even more miserable. So we've had a lot of mixed reaction, like Trent said. Frankie's always a star. We're going to get Frankie on as much as possible.

He also played golf. I felt like nonstop this weekend every time I look at his Instagram. Frankie was golfing. Another note, we got to do a shout out to our producer, Sunshine, who is heroically not getting compensated for his commute. he does live like 30 light years away from the office and has this marathon of a commute all the time and so he's basically losing money to work here and we also have to note the hilarious beginning of the email that he sent to us

to let us know last week that he was going to continue working here he wrote and this this was really one of the funniest moments I've ever had in my life So we get this email from Sunshine And this subject is just his name And it says after long deliberation And conversations with my family I have decided to stay on regardless Of the lack of reimbursement

I really appreciate all of the help so far I look forward to the rest of the summer of Barstall All right Let's just stop for one second When Which that email is very funny And Riggs and I were talking about It's like one of the hardest I've ever laughed

One of the emails I've gotten And I should also preface this by saying Sunshine is completely right In writing something like this because the fact that he hasn't gotten reimbursed. Totally. Our whole finance thing is all fucked up, so we got to get that rectified.

But I want to ask Sunshine, when you wrote this email and you wrote after long deliberation and conversations with my family, is that like... I thought you were going to say I'm taking my talent to long beach. It was very much,

it was very LeBron. Like, did you write that knowing you were being kind of crazy or was that just pure, that's what you wanted to say? I just, I wrote that kind of seriously. It took a little while. Yeah, it was not like meant to be funny. It was more just, you know, I have to write this email.

I'm probably going to word it more professionally than not. And it came out that way. So just sort of a beneficial perk to what happened. Well, and Trent's right. And that you're 100% justified in that. And the fact that like you did have to talk and make a decision and all that because you're literally losing money to go to New York City every day and work. And I'm glad that you said that you wrote it seriously.

That makes it infinitely better. So that was one of the big highlights from last week. All right, on to the quick. We're going to get Sunshine paid. That is our promise to Sunshine and all the platrons out there. I'll open up my Venmo for everyone. Yeah, we might have to open up the Venmo for Sunshine. We'll put something on the Instagram.

Sunshine needs to get paid. He is getting paid, but he's just not getting paid enough that it beats how much it costs him to get to work. Yeah. That email is so LeBron, like I almost want to shoot a mock video. where Sunshine puts on the LeBron checkered raspberry colored shirt and somebody plays Jim Gray. And we have him read his email out loud where he's deciding, or you do it like where he's deciding he's going to stay bar stools or you do it like he's picking a college. And we put a barstool hat and then just like no hat or like unemployment hat or something.

Oh, man. So we're going to get Sunshine paid. On to the Quiggin Loans National. We're going to preface it. Well, we do have a connection to the event. into the course because we went down about a month ago. We interviewed Billy Hurley the third. We actually contemplated holding on to that for this week's show,

but we decided to put it up at the time. He was an awesome interview. He was actually one of the more listened to interviews we've ever had. He was really good. He was the man. And then we also got to play the course as part of Media Day. That's what the Boundago boys do. So we have, that was Sunshine's first day.

Oh, yeah. By the way. But it's down in TPC Potomac, just outside of D.C. You know, it's tough on a weekend like this to be sitting there locked in to the golf. You're either out drinking by a large body of water or you're probably playing golf with your crew. If you're like us, that's pretty much what we were doing. Or you're having your family tell you how awesome Riggs is and how funny he is and how good he is on the podcast. You know, everybody's doing different things on 4th July.

Yeah, that might have been, you might have been doing that too. Any of those things could have been happening. So I was at a bar in Montauk, and I forced them to turn the TV on, but I didn't have service. So I was trying to let everyone know that I was following the golf, but I couldn't get any of my tweets up. You know, you put them up in like three-fourths of the bar goes by, the blue little bar, and then it just doesn't go up for like four hours. So that was frustrating. I was like yelling at bartenders and stuff, what's your Wi-Fi that wouldn't give it to me.

are you are you telling tale you can just say you weren't going to tweet about the golf you sound like you're you just oh there's no service no i genuinely tried to i was i actually tried to um i actually tried to it was it was one of those where i'm at the bar hanging out and it's on but it's in the background i'm not like locked and glued into it the whole time but it was on i was trying to pay attention especially when it got tight down the stretch um and rickie was making a charge uh but it was fun to see the course and watch how we played the holes just a few weeks ago versus how they played the holes, which was way better. Having said that, the course held up. I mean, whenever single digits under wins, we had a couple of guys get into a playoff at 7 under. I think there were only 20-something guys that finished under par total. That is awesome. They kind of let the greens just burn out, basically. It looked like they were putting on like burnt fescue grass on the greens, which I love because it just looks really fucking hard, and we want everything to be tough.

And we didn't get that at the U.S. Open. And so boom, we got a little carnage at TBC Potomac. Yeah, well, I mean, when we played it, whatever ago, like a month ago, as has been noted on this podcast before, you are a much better golf than I am. It was, it was a hard, hard course. And even you were like, this is a very, very difficult course. So for them to let the greens burn out, that made for a pretty good theater on Sunday. Yeah, and on the back nine, I played really well when we played there. I was actually started to hit the ball really well and still just ended up in some.

brutal spots where you're just like holy shit um so it was a tough course we had also had you know billy hurley told us he was like this track is tough i think he said like i i would be stunned if people finish double digits under par he was right um it was just seven under one it our guy keegan came in with a tie for fifth i think it might i mean he's just getting the four play spark right yeah yes yes he's getting the four play bumps so the better he plays the better we better we look he had uh What do you hold out for Eagle on 18 on Saturday? That was that was quite a moment for Keegan. That seemed to get him going.

Yeah. And like Sunshine pointed out before the show, he's always rocking his Jordans out there. His golf shoe game is on absolute point, which. Which some, I know some people don't like that Keegan Bradley rocks Jordans for whatever reason. They think that it's weird. But to me, it's less about the style and more about him reminding people that he is, like, friends with Michael Jordan. Yeah. And he also can pull him off because he's.

a tall, athletic-looking person that also plays basketball with Michael Jordan. So, like, that's fine. Like, if I'm running around in those, probably not. Like, no, race. It'd be weird if, like, David Lingmurth was rocking Jordans out there. That's a perfect. That's the perfect person that could not wear those. Like, not even close.

Or imagine, like, Jim Furik out there in those shorts. It's like, we just, Jim, we just don't believe you. We don't believe you in those shoes. We just don't believe. Jim, you hate those shoes. I know it. You know it. Everyone knows it. There was also some fantastic drama on the LPGA tour this weekend.

That's fantastic news. That's kind of what we were hoping for, to be honest for you. Yeah, I just a morning drive this morning, and I was like, I just came straight from the, you know,

I was like taking an Uber back just so I could put on a shirt and like, I'm like, oh, I read the Eastern time wrong. Shit, I have an interview in an hour. I got to go. I mean, to be honest with you, if you're not doing that a couple days after you in a major, there's something wrong with you. Yeah, my friend flew into you and you got to go out, you know. Absolutely.

So, yeah, I don't know if you know anything. Thank you for having me on the show. Yeah, absolutely. We're really, no, we're pop to chat. I don't know, you know, I'm Riggs. We got my co-host, Trent, out here who's actually calling in from Iowa right now. Hi, Daniel. Awesome.

Hi. Yeah, and we just. Iowa, are you coming out to Soin, Des Moines, Iowa? We're thinking about it. We're thinking, that's right in my backyard. So I think we're definitely thinking about coming out for that. I'm not thinking about it. If it's in your backyard, you should come out.

That's true, Trent. Now, I mean, you've been called out now, Trent. So we, uh, So, yeah, you know, I don't know how much you know about us, but we pretty much, we can say whatever the hell we want. We talk about golf pretty freely and just try to have a good time with it. Wait, can you cuss on it? Oh, you could say whatever the fuck you want. No way.

That's fucking awesome. Let's go. Yeah. If I get another sign for fucking saying that word, I want to kill somebody. Oh, my goodness. All right. So it's Fourth of July. Like, you know, we kind of got into it a little bit.

ready, but you just won a major championship. You live in Vegas. What have the last 48 hours been like? It's only been 48 hours? Yes. Okay. Well, so I won, then I had all the media. It was so overwhelming.

It was pretty crazy. Then, you know, we stole the trophy. Me and Michelle stole the trophy because we were I supposed to take it. So we ran off with it. You're like, fuck this is my trophy. Well, I wanted to hang out with it, you know, for a little bit. I mean, I got, they're like, oh, we'll ship it. I'm like, well, what about tonight?

So, like, we ran off and then they hunted us down later, though. Yeah, I ate some, you know, got some Asian crap going on, ate some noodles out of it. There was nothing else in that late that night. We had to go get some noodles. And I had my caddy drink beer out of it. I ate noodles out of that thing. That's awesome. And then we had to return it.

But, yeah, then we went on a red eye, flew to Vegas. I took an hour nap. And then my friends flew in all over the place, you know, and wanted to parties. So we went out last night to Jewel Nightclub. Saw Stieviyoki. I met him before. So again, he's like, he's like, you're coming out. I'm like, dude, I'm seeing your set tonight.

So I got to see him. Then, you know, other Vegas stuff, we don't need to get, like, so detailed. No. Ooh, I don't know. We like details on this show, but you don't have to. No. No, I was just, you know, I was like, I don't know. it was we're ending up in places.

I ended up, I had to come all that, you know, 5.30 in the morning. I was thinking, wait a second. I have the morning drive. Wait, and I was checking all of a sudden I got this email. They're saying, oh, Colin FaceTime at this time. And I go, wait, I thought it was at 8 o'clock Pacific time. Wait, it's fucking Eastern. I was like, oh, my God, guys, I got to go.

So I didn't catch morning drive this morning, but I'm going to have to go watch it now and see how your performance was. I was falling asleep. But I'm like, wake up, wake up, wake up. And Michelle called because Michelle's on, she's on the East Coast, and she's like, are you still loud? I was like, dude, I have his morning driving 40 minutes. She's like, wake up now, so she was on the face time with me. And I was, oh, my God. I was going to sleep.

But I made it. I made it. Good. I like that. She's like, she's like, dude, put the makeup on. You look like shit. You're like, Michelle, I'm a major chip. I can do whatever I want.

That's true, but she's like, yeah, no, you don't want to look. last shitty in the morning, do something with your face, like, do something. That's what good friends are for. And for anybody that doesn't know, Michelle's like your best friend, right? She's one of my best friends, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because we were... So there's got to be some rumors of a little Solheim Cup pairing coming up next month between you two.

I hope we get paired together. That would be amazing. You know, I don't know how much fine we would have to pay. We would be yelling at each other. of all time, but it'll be pretty, it'll be pretty fun. You seem like you've paid like plenty of fines on the LPGA. No, by the way, was that like, was that recording already when I said that? Yeah, but we can cut it.

Be kidding. Cut how much I pay, please. But, yeah, I get fined. We'll happily cut it. That's not a problem. Yeah, no, I mean, yeah, I mean, I just say what I want to. And sometimes, you know, you get emotional. I mean, when do girls not get emotional and whatever?

So you got to say what you got to say sometimes. Yeah, I mean, but I think pretty much we're all on board with we want as much emotion out there as we could possibly get. We think it's dog shit when they try to suppress the emotion. I think that's stupid. Oh, I get pissed. Don't worry. But then when I get pissed at that time, somebody's around. And then they don't want to hear me saying fuck.

And then they hear it and I go, oh, well, oh, shit. And then I get a call later. I'm like, fucking out. It doesn't just a triple-fing. fuck thread at that point you just it's all avalancheing downhill you say it once you get caught and you're like yeah oh man well shit it's a it's a downward spiral it's hard to get out but as someone that i've tried to convince myself that i need to say the f word less on the podcast i've i feel for you i sympathize with you oh thank you i as long as you know i said shit earlier i didn't know i was allowed

You know, you've obviously been playing pretty well this year. You know, 10 cuts made for top tens and 14 events. How were you feeling going into the event? I was feeling great, to be honest. I mean, I was honestly freaking out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I was yelling at my caddy. Like, you know, I was in a mood. I was yelling at my coach. And, you know, when you just don't feel comfortable and I'm so overwhelmed by the golf course.

And, you know, I kept telling people, I was so, I was in a mood, man. Like, God, if I had to deal with me, I would, like, punch me. But they made it through. They were alive. And I showed up on Thursday, though, super happy. Like, I was like, all right, guys, like, ready to go. And they go, what the hell? What's her deal?

Who is this person? She was about to kill us. Yeah, she was about to kill us last night. And then, yeah, and I felt good. I, like, I trusted in my game and, like, all around, like, my punting speed was great. and I actually didn't work on putting much on the whole week. I worked on speed all week. I wasn't working on like five, six footers, but, yeah, it felt great.

Last day showed up, I was like, let's just do it one more day, another day of golf. Yeah, and so, you know, that Sunday, obviously, you know, you know, you know, it's going to be one of the biggest days of your career. Just kind of walk us through a little bit of Sunday kind of, you know, pre-round knowing it's going to be one of the biggest days of your career, getting ready for kind of stepping out there on the course for that, you know, the last round. Yeah, so, well, I, I, hang on, you got to tell me directions now. Yeah, you got to tell me directions.

Just look at me. I'm joining my friend off in an airport. She's like looking at me. I'm like, where do I go, left or right? Anyways, but, yeah, Sunday, I, like, I went down and I, I was walking on a fair right. I'm like, okay, I couldn't sleep the night before. I was so excited.

And I just didn't know. I wanted the Sunday to come so fast because I was, I was, I was. It was like a Christmas morning I was waiting for. I was like a kid, you know? And I was hoping that I was going to play really well. And you know what? You know what? You know what?

You can't do this right now. No. Sorry, you guys. I feel like you might need to smack your friend. You're doing the worst directions ever. I'm getting out of the car. You drive. Were you just driving her?

Were you driving around while on the phone? Of course. You're on your own speaker. That's amazing. That's good. That's. Yeah. Okay.

We're good now. I'm focused. We in the passenger seat now, we're good. I can't do two things at once, you guys. Yeah, no, I can't do two things at once. I told you, I don't know what's going on right now. Like, after you were to major, everything just comes out to you, man. Life comes at you fast, Danielle.

It comes at you fast. Honestly, on Sunday I was not prepared for, I was not prepared for today. Now you're like, who are these fucking guys I'm supposed to talk to? Making, like, six uterus right now trying to drop her off at an airport. Okay. I wasn't ready for this moment. Let's get, let's get back into Sunday. Back nine, you made.

All right, asshole. She goes that. Yeah, Riggs did have a little bit of tone there. Yeah, did you hear her? She come at me? No, she's like, all right, assholes. My name's Hillary, by the way. Just an F-O-A-A.

Hillary, I'm not an asshole. Trent's family loves me. She says, Hillary, I'm not an asshole. She says, mm-hmm. She's not having it right now She's in a mood Well You have a

You have a Taekwondo black belt You might have to give her You might have to give her a little bit of a beating She's like 5 foot 11 I don't She's so big That's tall She's so tall

She's gonna like throw me Yeah Okay So let's somehow try to get back to Sunday Yeah we got this Back nine You've already four holes in row How good are we feeling at that point

Yeah I was three put it on 10 And I looked at my caddy and I was like, what the hell was that? I just three putter from 20 feet. And he goes, she's like, you know what? You're rolling him great. You got to trust your lines. And just don't worry about it.

And I'm like, and I said, you're right. I said, you're right. I said, I'm rolling him great. I'm stroking it well. So the next poll, I said, my does it just learn from it if you're going to three putt from 20 feet. So it's like, all right, let's just take some little sort of speed off. And then from then on, like, putts started rolling in. And the front night, I was struggling a little bit to make putts.

And I didn't realize I was hitting my putt's up firm. And after the four, birdies, I still knew it wasn't, you know, you don't have it in the bag. It's golf. It's never over until final putt drop. So I was just trying to stay aggressive, and I needed to make putts and make more birdies. Yeah, it was pretty insane. It was a lot of emotions in the back night.

Yeah, let's get to 18 a little bit. You know, you're staying on the tee. You know you need a birdie to win after Brooke Henderson kind of put the heat on a little bit. Walk us a little bit through 18 because you hit a couple dynamite shots on 18. I was on a T-box and then as I was about to hit, I heard the crowd going like, oh, and then I kind of smiled. It wasn't, it wasn't like intentional, but I knew that she missed, you know? Yeah, you're like, hell yeah. I was like, you know, I thought to myself, I go, okay, I got it.

Like, I got this. And I backed off and then the crowd kind of laughed. I don't know if that was on TV, but the crowd laughed because they saw me back off and kind of smiling. And they were like, it's your time, gang. Like, let's do it. And then all I wanted to do was absolutely crush that drive to give myself a chance to get it on in two. Because there was a lot of wind into our face.

And then I got to the ball and it was 2.30, I think it was 236 to the pin. And I'm like, all I have to do is kill this three wood. And today I get to take that trophy home. So I stepped up to it, but I didn't feel that great over it. And I followed myself, like, right now is not the time to feel 90%. I was like, back off, feel 100% and then just rip it. And I got it on the green. I go, all right, we're good.

that's awesome so michel we was there how quickly you know did the party party and started were you like pissed you had to do some media obligations no i like attention look at me right now I've been partying all night and I'm like I don't know what's going on around me

I don't mind media I just can't have two things happen I can't party and do media at the same time you know fair I got a plan yeah no I don't mind at all um no yeah I like attention it's all good Okay, so we got to get Ask me what you want, you know

Let's get back into the whole Taekwondo stuff I mean, where, you know, how How serious were you with that? Because I think you have a black belt, is that right? Yes. Can you just kick anybody's ass or, I mean, how does that work? Could you, like, kick mine and Trent's ass together? You know, I'm not going to lie to you.

Like, I got in a lot of fights when I was younger, a lot of fit fights. And I did. I was, like, training for the Taekwondo when I was younger. At that point, you know, your first thing. things is to throw a punch and throw a kick and I had to get in fights. But yeah, as I got older, I realized it's not really socially acceptable to, you know, like, get in fights. So, you can't calm down.

What were you getting in fights over as a kid that you were getting them in all the time? I don't know. I don't remember. I just remember getting in a lot of fights. Like, I'm ficey now. I was ficey then. This is me calm. People don't understand.

I've calmed down. You seem very calm. Do I? Really? Are you being sarcastic? No. Well, yeah, a little bit. You've been sarcastic, aren't you?

I could sense it in your tone. That's impressive. It's the way you said it. I'm going to throw that quote. It's the way you said it. You know, we're never very sarcastic around here. We're very serious show, as you can probably tell. Oh, yeah, definitely.

So you also have some pretty strong connections to the Gretzky's and to Dustin Johnson. What are, I mean, are those people as cool and bad? Bad asses they seem. Honestly, I love the Grosky family with all my heart. They are, like, they're family to me. And the kids and that, like, Ty and Trevor and Helena and, like, you know, have my trust in there. They're all just such wonderful people.

And, of course, I met Dustin through Griskees. And Dustin just so down to earth. I played golf with him, Mr. Wood. And he's just super cool guy. they are as bad as they've seen but they're actually very relaxed family i don't know if everyone thinks like they're just i don't know what people see but you know you walk in and we're all just hanging around and wayne gretsky just sitting at the table watching tv you know and we're just all talking shit and that's what we do and it's kind of funny it's great when you know when they

start joking around like wayne doesn't you know way doesn't say that much but when we we all start like getting really loud or he would make some kind of joke. There was like a story one time when um Janet was making, um, you know, all of us drink this vitamin C drink because everyone's getting sick. And it was actually really funny. So everyone's getting sick and they're like, oh, it tastes terrible and then we're drinking it. And then Wayne walked in and Janet's like, Wayne, you got to drink this.

He's like, I don't, I don't have to drink that. And then we're like, what? You have to drink it. Like everyone else drink it, you know? That's not fair. He goes, he's like, everyone's getting sick. Like, you have to drink this. He goes, I'm the great one.

I don't get sick. I was like, come on. I just don't drop that right now. Everyone had to drink it. You don't have to drink it. Wait, oh, I love that. And he just smiles, and I'm like, man, that guy, he's just a legend. And I got a text from DJ when he's like, that's how you're supposed to play golf.

And I'm like, thanks, Dustin. I mean, if I got a text from Dustin Johnson that said that I would probably be the happiest person in the world. it's just so cool you know he's like even when I was going out to Hawaii I was talking to him and he's like you know talking about how he had a WD of the Masters and I'm asking how he was

feeling and he's like oh where are you going I'm like Hawaii and saying like just go just go just go get it done and I go just like that he goes just like that it's that easy and I'm like for you he's like no you got to think easy simplify your life like okay do my best

God I wish Jesse Jontzer was my friend this week. That was Dustin Johnson dishing out like sage advice about golf. That was great. Yeah. Yeah. Just simplify it.

You know, you just do it. It's just very, very, you can't complicate it. But it's very hard to do, not complicating. Just in anything in general.

So we've got, we still got some big events for you guys the rest of the year. Solheim Cup. You have any words on this 4th of July for your European counterparts out there? European counterparts on 4th of July, I can't,

wait to take their asses down. Yes. I can't wait to be a part of the USA team to kick some European ass during the World Cup. I've got some friends on that team, but you know what? I love you guys, but I'm just going to have to kick your ass. USA, baby. Yeah.

I just want as much to say the USA chant. America. All right. Last we got, we just got a handful of rapid fire questions that we're going to ask. Okay We're gonna start The first one We've actually had some pretty lame answers to this one

But I think yours is gonna be pretty good What's your go-to curse word After you hit a pad shot Are you fucking kidding me? That's a classic No that's literally what I say Yeah I couldn't tell if you were If you were asking

Or if you were telling us that's what it was It could have been both That's what I'm telling you And I'm saying it My first reaction when you said it I go Are you fucking kidding me You're such an idiot

What are you doing It depends how bad it is But are you fucking kidding me? It is the first question I asked myself. And I go, oh, no, I'm not kidding you. Or I go, oh, shit, my God. Talking to myself, you know? Yeah, a little kava, a little back and forth.

All right. So you just won the major. You got a check for $525,000. What are you going to buy with that money? Anything expensive? Anything special? You know, I don't know yet. I spent a lot last night.

I spent a lot last night. And, yeah, no, we went to a great dinner. We're going to go to another steakhouse dinner tonight and celebrating. And I don't know. I might get – I don't know if I want to buy something for myself, usually. But I don't really need anything. But I do want to give my mom something. And my brother, I always buy my brother something.

So see what they want. It depends. All right. Next one. Are you superstitious at all? Do you have any superstitions from last week that, you know, that you kind of stuck to to and that you're going to continue to stick to? Am I superstitious at all?

Golfers are insane. Everyone's superstitious. They're like, they're fucking crazy. Like, you can't. Golfers are the craziest people, I believe, on this planet. They have everything their way, the way they want it, how they want it, has to go exactly the way they plan or they lose their money. So what's the weirdest superstition you have?

Last week, my superstition was that I had. I'm not going to keep this up, but I had to get a new room key every day. My friend's die. Every day, do you know how pissed off that guy was? I was working at the counter at the hotel reception. Every fucking day, we walked in and I said, can I get a new room key? And then, by the way, this is a hotel when you get a new one. The other ones deactivate.

So I would go and I'd like, hi, can I get a new room key? It was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. was unintentional. I completely don't know where I put my key the first three days. Then Thursday, I'm like, I played pretty well. Then I don't know where my key went again. I was like, are you kidding? Friday. I was like, all right. I mean, I got new key four days in a row. Let's just keep this up. Saturday. So can I go new room key? He goes, you've got to be kidding me. And I go, it's Saturday night. I said it's my last time, I swear. I like it. You said you're not going to keep that up. I don't know. You might have to keep that up after you won a major.

I'm going to piss off a lot of people. Nah, you know, the room key thing, like, no. It'll, it'll, it'll, my superstition goes away. My superstition goes away after, like, a solid, like, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, you know? And I don't know what other superstitions I had, actually. I might have done something really, huh, I'm trying to think. No, that's about it, I think. The room key thing was pretty crazy.

That's pretty wild. Trent, you got anything else? Do we have any more rapid fires? I think we're good. I think you have any questions for us, Danielle? We have any questions for you guys. What kind of questions do you guys get asked? I don't know.

You never know. You might have some curiosities. I have no clue. Do you guys play golf both of you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. We like to golf. We're not very good.

Not very good. No, we're both not. We're not great. I can be okay sometimes. Top golf status? Top golf status? Yeah. Well, yeah.

Oh, yeah. We thrive at places like Top golf. You give us a bar. and like we can hit one out of five shots good and then lights go off and tell us we did a good job we're very excited awesome well i hope i hope the interview was okay once again for being late it was fantastic we're going to have to have you back on again you were you were dynamite out there oh thank you let me know whenever you need me all right well uh i'll be around good really never late keep playing well the rest of the year so we can just keep

having you on after you win major championships. Oh, maybe I'll, you know, yeah, you're right. I'll keep doing it. I'll just play, I'll play wall just to get on the podcast. Yeah, I agree. I think that's a really good idea. If you win another major and be like, how did you do it? What was your motivation?

And you can say, I want to go back on the Foreplay podcast and talk to those guys. I think those guys won't have me on unless I win another one. Like, what the hell is that? That's your motivation. You're welcome. All right. Well, thank you guys so much. All right. Thanks a lot. We appreciate it and congratulations. Thank you.

All right. Take care. Thanks, Danielle. Bye. And that, folks, was the incredible Danielle Kang. The incredible Daniel Kang. Maybe my favorite person in the world as it sits today. We just became the biggest LPGA tour Danielle Kang fans in the history of the world. And I've been tweeting and talking about women's golf for a while.

occasionally I'll catch it, you know, when it's a dramatic finish. I will never miss a result of Danielle Kang's. Wherever she's at, wherever she's playing, I'm going to know about it. Well, and also, if we're big fans who are now, but if you listen to that interview and you're not a big Daniel Kang fan, then you're probably listening to the wrong podcast. Because she was the perfect four-play guest. She's partying in Vegas.

She's swearing. She's doing all these types of things. She was perfect. She's superstitious as hell. She's making the damn guy, make her a new, hotel key every night just because she played well on Thursday after she had forgotten the first three nights she you're right if you didn't like that daniel kang interview stop listening to the fucking show turn it off we don't want you here you're not a platron you're out of here uh so yeah

she's awesome she's a now the she's like kind of the first four plate girl yeah well i mean that's i mean you're gonna you might have made page brannick a little mad with that one but uh the first She's our first LPJ player, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, we've got plenty of the four-play boys. Obviously, Paige was our first professional female golfer. But, I mean, when you win a major, I think you kind of become the people's women's golfer. Yeah.

Oh, that might be the new title because there's nobody that fits the people's women's golfer better than Daniel King. People's women's golfer, Danielle Kang.

We've got a couple this week. First one's a good one. I really like this one because this just kind of happens in different ways to people all the time. This one's from Alex. He said recently, me and my buddy were about to start around when we got paired up with two other guys. However, when we got to the first hole, they set up at the tips. Now my buddy and I knew we couldn't hit

from there. We tried anyway, so we didn't look like two pussies. Now, should we have played it forward or did we do the right thing by trying to play from the furthest t-box what do you think trin i think you're going to have more of a of an experience with this i in my experience i would say i would not play from the tips i understand where they're coming from where you don't want to look like pussies but also if you go out there to play around a golf you're paying money to do it you want to at least try to enjoy it if i play from the tips i am not going to enjoy myself so i don't want to ruin my time you kind of got to swallow your pride and be like hey guys i know you guys are going to play from the tips we're going to play from up here hopefully we can

still have a good day. It's bad. It's how I would handle it. But I can totally understand him being like, we're just going to play from the tips to try and play with these guys. I 100% agree with you. I mean, there's, I think it's even a tougher move, a more badass move to be like, oh, all right, good for you guys.

We play to X about a handicap and we want to have fun out here. We're going to play from the whites or whatever. That's where you usually play from. You stand your ground. You tee it up there. Like these guys said, tee it forward. That is the right move. It makes the golf courses move faster.

It makes you play the course. more like it's meant to be played. That's why there's different T-boxes. So if you only drive the ball 2.30 or something, you should have holes where you hit a driver and then get to hit a wedge in that where you're playing for the tips and you got to go driver three-one in every hole. So definitely, definitely.

I get where people are coming from, but at the same time, I mean, if you went to the gym or something with somebody and the dude's benching like 300 pounds, you're not benching 300 pounds. You do whatever you can do, and that's it. That's a great example. Do you think it's at all on the people who are playing from the tips

to be like, just so you guys know, I know we got matched up, we're going to play from the tips, it's you guys play whoever you want. But it sounds like these guys are just like, all right, we're playing from the tips. What are you pussy's doing? If those guys did do that, fuck them. It is definitely on the group in general, in my opinion, to kind of have that conversation of the T. So, yeah, I think it falls a little bit on the guys to be like, hey, we're playing the

tips. You guys play whatever T's you want. Don't feel pressure or whatever. This is just where we play, whatever. I definitely think that's kind of on them. but it should be kind of a conversation to the whole group should have. Like, even if the other guys said,

like, hey, do you guys mind, we're not going to slow you up if we, like, wait for you guys to hit off the tips and then go play the whites. You know, so both people. I'm sure it was a pretty amicable conversation. I made those guys into, like, hard-o golf villains and, like, calling them pussies.

I'm sure it was a pretty easy transition if they had just been like, we're going to play from the whites. You guys do the tips. So, yeah, that's, I mean, that's what we think. Yeah, you did give those guys the classic hardo voice, too. You were like, oh, we're going to play from the tips. What are you guys doing?

I apologize for these random people who probably aren't going to listen to the podcast. I want to sincerely apologize for them. Next one, we got MC. Is that this person's name? Like MC Hammer? Like miscut? M.C. This one's from MC.

Says most of my rounds are typically with my brother, just the two of us. What's the etiquette on watching his ball? He'll often bitch that I'll pay enough attention to where his ball ends up. And we go at it back and forth as. to whose fault that is. Welp, better put the phone away. He's about to tee off on 12. That was the guy.

He was playing with his brother, and so he's already on his phone. He probably missed his brother's ball, and his brother's going to be super pissed at him. Yeah, what do you think about this one, Trent, Danny? You know, I want to say when you're out there, it's kind of on everybody to watch everyone's ball. Because when you're out there, it's a group environment.

You see where everyone's goes. It'd be kind of weird if you were out there with somebody, and he was just completely not paying it. to where someone else's ball with. Like, I can understand not watching it exactly where it lands and you having, like, the latitude and longitude of where it is on the course, but you have to at least be watching. So if you see the other person over there kind of struggling to find their ball, you can walk over there and help them.

That's kind of where I land on it. Yeah, I think. So I kind of have two points on this. One, golf is like a group game. Your foursome, you guys are all in it together. You should watch each other tee off. You should watch each other put. But you shouldn't be when one guy's putting or something, you shouldn't be on the T hitting your next shot.

And therefore, why would you not be expected to watch the guy's shot? You should. You got to have as many eyes on it as possible. Again, it helps everything move faster too because if one guy doesn't quite see where his ball ended up and three other guys did or whatever, if he's just playing with his brother, he's going to be able to go right to his ball. Find it, hit it. That's better for everyone. The thing I will say about that is that the other point is that you can't be the guy, however,

that like when you hit a really shitty shot, then be like, oh, if you would have been watching, we would have found it. It's like, no, dude, like you had a fucking terrible shot. It's not my fault. So it's, you know, yes, everybody should be paying attention. That would drive me insane if I was playing with somebody and they're just on their phone or they're not paying attention or whatever they're a lally gagging off on the side. That would be annoying.

You can do that occasionally. I mean, occasionally if you got to check your phone or something, but generally, you should make sure somebody's got eyes on the ball. I also, when I play, if I play in like a foursome, and I'm the last guy to tee off on a hole and the other three guys tee off and then they go sit in the cart, that drives me crazy. Oh, really?

Yes. Like, stand on the fucking tee box till I'm done and then walk over your cart. Well, and also, some people are just inherently better at seeing where the ball lands. Other people are, like catty-ey-eyes Frankie Burelli, who is a celebrity on this podcast, he can see every single ball.

So whenever you golf them, you've golfed them a couple more times than I am. But even when we were out at the Masters following people and this and that, that's kind of how we got so close behind Rory for the infamous shot. He's just able to see it better. So some people are better than others. And it's what you're saying. Bottom line, if people see it, you find the ball, you hit, you move faster.

Everyone's happier. The day goes a lot better. So I think, yeah, it's kind of, it's not up to everybody, but it's kind of up to everybody. Right. It's don't, don't be an asshole about it. Generally pay attention. You know, if you miss a shot or two here or there, that's fine. But you should generally be paying attention like 80 or 90% of the time to where people

hitting it so that you can help them out. Yeah, and it's also a little bit, we talked on the podcast last week, I believe it was, how good it feels to, at the end of the round, take the hat off, shake the hand, respect, respect, respect. It's also nice when you find another person's ball and you're just like, here it is, I watched it, I'm invested in your game, let's have fun today. That's heroic. That is like I'm the coolest guy to play golf with in the world. I really made this guy's experience better. I'm the man. You're right, Trent. That's a really good feeling. Another really good one is when, you know, a lot of times we can kind of get into a little bit of talk about what the etiquette is on helping people find their ball. But a lot of times, you know,

I'm of the belief that let's say one guy hits it left into kind of some woods or something, I think you, and you hit the fair way, you go out, hit your ball and then go help look. And there's no better feeling than when there's like a three or four, you know, three person search party for their ball. Nobody can find it. Nobody can find it. You come over late as the last guy. Boom, right on it. It's right. here, that's a great moment. That's like a huge moment in the day. Heroic, heroic, heroic. That's what that is. Yeah. So actually, yeah, make sure you're paying attention so you can be the hero. Otherwise, you've got no chance to be the hero. You're just the

dickhead that's not paying attention that's on his phone too much. And nobody ever wants to be that guy. Well, that's exactly the point. So there's, you can be one of two people. You can be the guy who is never paying attention and you're never going to be the hero and people are going to be mad at you. Or you can stand on the T-box, watch a guy swing a club and potentially be A hero. Just don't, basically what a boy is down to do, and everything kind of does, just don't be an asshole. I do have to say that the image of this MC guy, his brother just getting mad at him all the time on the course for never bet. That's such a brother move that like the two of them are so sick of each other over the course of 30 years that a couple minutes into this great escape from the real world for them where they're out golfing.

And the one brother's just pissed at the other one the whole time. Well, you never watch my fucking ball. What the hell, dude. Even like make a point like, oh, man, my eyes were closed on that. one. Sorry. I didn't see where we're going. Just start messing with them. Maybe bring a bandana out there like every time and just put her over your face. Like these two brothers are basically just fist fighting on like the eighth hole because one never washes the other one's ball. I do kind of like that actually. All right. That's for play for this week. Don't forget to send

us your stuff for play at barstool sports.com. If you want from the gallery to be as good as it can be, you got to send stuff in. So we have stuff to talk about. I think that's it for me. Trent, you got anything? No. I will be back in the office in a couple days. Our next podcast, we will both be in the studio, although I think this is going to come out pretty well. We've got the technology, although it is Barstool, so hopefully it sounded good for the podcast. But I will be back in town next week, and we'll be doing it in the podcast studio like normal. Yeah, we've got the Greenbrier this week. The interesting note about that is that the whole course got washed out and flooded last year, and the event got canceled. So they're back this week. The Greenbrier, it's kind of a classic. We got our guy, Willie, Will Cox. I was texting him yesterday. He was heading over there today. He was saying that the early reports are good. The course kind of rebuilt the back nine, rebuilt all the greens, and that players are kind of buzzing about it. So, yeah, we're in kind of that midsummer stretch.

We're halfway through the majors. We got the Greenbrier this week. It's been hot as balls up here in the Northeast. Is it hot there, Trent, Daddy? It is so hot here. It's not only hot, but it's humid. And I know it gets humid in the New York and the out east, but there's something about Midwest humidity that really just knocks you back. Oh, yeah, Midwest humidity. It floors you when you walk outside. It sucks. But it's midsummer.

That means, you know, next up, we've got the Open Championship. Next week's podcast. We've got Patrick Harrington, who we talked to for about 40 minutes. He was incredible. So everybody, be ready. Be on the lookout. Go to the store.

Buy stuff. Hit it hard.
