Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Oh, Rick! What's up, my brother? I've got a buddy who struggles with that shot. A lot. His name's Frankie Burrilli. So the guys actually gave him a nickname of Butterknives because he always knives sitting across the green.

Rock 100. Now you've got to break 90. We appreciate what you guys do for golf. It's been really cool. Thank you. You're making it cool. We appreciate it. I was like, hey, Phil, you only fucking $29.99.

And he grabs 100. He's like, yeah, I won 90,000 at these yesterday. He goes, take 100 and go fuck yourself. What? What are you guys taking? It's a hobby. Foreplay, presented by Barstool Sports. Today is January 5th, 2020.

That's still weird. Everybody's writing it on their stuff, which is always weird. I know you're going through that, too. We got the whole squad. Dan's in Hawaii still. We got Trent and Frank here on Long Island. I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona. I got a big announcement.

Ooh. Okay. Big announcement. First, I want to note that I'm wearing my tailor-made hat. Feels like we got to defend the wall right now because fucking everybody with an Instagram account signing a equipment deal, which we get into. But big announcement. I got tased yesterday. Why?

Like, were you like? Yeah, were you robbing a store? By an axon taser. you know, in conjunction with our good friends at Axon. And this was, my legs are still unbelievably sore. And I actually can't tell if that's from the tasing in which they did say your legs would be sore from that or if it's from they make you warm up beforehand. So I was doing standing squat jumps and jumping jacks and shit.

I honestly think that's what my legs are sore from. But anyways, like a year ago, I agreed to get tased in. some deal with Jisner and I actually can't remember the situation. I think we were at the waste management and they're having a big thing and I agreed to get tased. I got super drunk the night before. I woke up with the scaries and was like, dude, there's no way I can get tased today. I will perish from planet Earth.

And he's like, no, I know you're bailing out. I was like, I'm really not scared. I'm scared to like walk outside right now because I'm shaking so much. Anyways, follow up this past weekend. We were hanging out. And he was like, oh, we got this huge conference this. week. Everybody's in town for Axon. They're kicking off their year. It's their whole hurrah. Let's fucking go. Let's have the best 20, 23 ever, spaceships, all that. So we start talking. He's like,

well, why don't you come in? We're doing it in front of like a bunch of people. You know, it's kind of part of the company, ethos and like part of their initiation of like everybody gets tased and it's great and it's fun. So I was like, fuck it. I'll do it. I said I would do it. I'll do it. So I drove there last night in a really weird move where I drove to a hotel where there's a big convention going on just to get tased. But I know Isner loves it. It's like his favorite thing in the world that people get tased. I was like, I'll get fucking tased.

And I've had two or three good days of sleep and we'll talk about whoop. I'm looking. I'm in good shape. So I'm like, I'll go get taste. First of all, I walk in. And it is axon to the moon. Literally. Everybody's got a fucking costume on.

There's Bud's light. You're walking around. I saw a lurcher to a big red hoodie. There's fucking astronauts. Jisner had just gotten rid of his astronaut outfit. Like, it is. it's like everything we've talked about with corporate axon to the moon and then here i am in my barstool golf peter moir hoodie i'm like i'm here to get tased whatever um i'm the taser guy

i will say it is uh uh uh it hurts a lot and i'll say it's it's really we i was thinking about it a lot all night because everybody's asking me right afterwards like oh what you think and it's you're kind of giving them just like words that come to mind you don't think about it that much. It's very, very rare or almost never occurred where you actually feel a sensation in your body that is that is basically pure, unfiltered, 100% meant to be pain and your body panicking of like, we might be die. And it's half, it lasts for about five seconds of you can't move. Every muscle in your body is spasming it and is in severe pain. And I was texting a lurch about it a bunch afterwards.

Like the last couple seconds are you think like, oh, no, is it broke? Like it did it break? And it's just, I'm just tased forever now. Like, is this never going to fucking end? And then finally it ends and you're fine. And but, but yeah, I got tase yesterday. I had that you get a couple like bruises from it and stuff. They just fucking hit you with a tase.

Well, I got one obvious question. That's on everybody's mind. Yeah. Is there video? There's video, but I have to say, it's embargoed because of the time of year and the release of certain products. But I imagine the video will go out eventually. It's,

I do have the video. Unfortunately, it's not, it was pretty like, there's a guy on each arm. You get tase, you just go down and I didn't like yelp or like piss my pants or anything. No,

but I still think that's a worthwhile video. Obviously, the worst case scenario, for sure. Oh yeah. Worst case scenario, you shit your pants, you throw up,

you say something ridiculous. Like that's worst case scenario. But even you saying, I had two guys holding my arms. They tased me and I went down. That's a video I want to watch. Yeah. So I got to figure out the embargo situation because, again, it's early in the year and they got new product and stuff coming out.

So I know that that's a concern. I'm sure the video will hit the interwebs at some point. But yeah, it's getting tase sucks. Breaking news for anybody out there. What was the point of contact? I watched the hangover recently and all I could think about was him getting tase in the face. And I don't think that's what happened. So they, you know, it's like a whole room of people and I'm on like a big screen too that they've got like the footage on like a jumbo fucking tron.

And then, you know, they got one of their guys in a fucking costume is like interviewing me who I know and have met before. And then you, they kind of just, you don't like it, they shoot you from behind. So it's mostly like the back of the legs or the back like the middle of the back. So you don't know it's coming. So they're kind of like, they're kind of like grabbing you. And they're like, yeah, just be loose. loosen up those arms. You're like, okay.

And then they kind of grab your arms. They're like, yeah, loose your arms. And then like, bam, they just fucking hit you. And so it's, it's, uh, you can tell to like they're, it's cut it's accent culture, right? So afterwards they're all like, I'm in the crew now. They're like, yeah, dude, you did it. Congrats. And I'm like, I don't, I don't know that congrats is.

Well, Ray, no, Rick is not going to show up to any podcast. We're going to have to find another host. We lose another guy to Axon. It is funny that no matter how high. you go on the corporate ladder or or in any facet of life that you it gets to a certain point where guys just want to be dudes and they want to fuck each other up with a taser or they want to like haze each it's very no matter how high you go they're like yeah you can have this job but also with this corporate retreat that we do we tase each other and then we're even better friends

it was very funny just watching like every i don't know 60 seconds or so someone just got tasered and people were like clapping yeah oh oh yeah yeah I didn't realize that it was like, it was like a taser Congo line where everyone just stepped up got tased. Pretty much. I had to like cut the get tays line to like. Like Isner walked me up and was like, I need to cut the line. We're going to get this guy in and out. They just hit you with it.

You're not a real barso employee until Dave yells at you until he really yells at you. Yeah. You're not an axon employee until you get tased at a conference. That's a good point. I would say you're not really a bar stool like personality or whatever fucking dumb term we use nowadays. talent, air quote's talent, until like the comment section turns on you, I would say. Then you're like, then you're really a barstool person through the group. I've been here since day one.

There was never a time when I wasn't at Barstool boy. It happens faster now. I was trying to. It was almost like Yellowstone with like getting, you know, when you get the brand of the why. It was like these people is what they do in order to be considered your, you're like part of the team. you're trustworthy now is you got to get tased. So they're all congrats in me afterwards. There were some stoolies in there, hooting and hollering.

So yeah, I got tased yesterday. My legs feel more sore than they've ever felt my entire life, which is a. I can't like to see the video. I'm so excited to eventually see that. Yeah, I'm bummed. I think people are going to be disappointed by the video, but you'll see the video. It'll be out there. People want to see people get tased.

That's fair. That's fair. Our presenting sponsor, we spoke a lot about sponsorships on this show or we do speak. I don't know where the sad read's going. Chevy. Chevy's come on in a big way. They supported us at the Barstall Classic Championship. They had a bunch of their team there.

They wanted to see what we're all about in person. They wanted to see what all of our fans are about. Listeners, people that partake in the Barstall Classic, people that view our videos buy our merchandise. And they were blown away and said, you know what? This crew is our kind of crew. We want to come on in a big way. We want to be the presenting sponsor of the Foreplay Golf podcast.

And we're also coming on in a big way in the EV game. electric vehicles, electric utility vehicles, the bolt you can go check out right now. I was talking on the last show about how I wanted to get the Blazer EV, which you can go on the website and build out and pre-order. I had some folks reach out and say, you should check out the Silverado. Maybe you're a truck guy. So maybe I'll be a truck guy. I haven't decided yet.

But the Silverado, the Blazer, a bunch of the different models that Chevy has built and that you have come to know and love as just a human being that exists and sees how beautiful. full chevies are i think i might need a flatbed or like a truck well my crew i know i'm not that kind of guy i saw trance i want you to know you're not i won't be able to buy that truck but i don't know if frankie borelli needs that truck the only reason is that is that it's practical in my crew like every every time we need to like fill up a car or like go somewhere or like i'm driving to the islander game and i got five people we can't fit people in cars we can't fit luggage we can't I tried to bring a karaoke machine to Borrellys for New Year's Eve and we couldn't like pick up our friends on the way because it took up my entire back seat.

It's like I'm constantly getting frustrated by no space in cars. Like everyone in my life has a compact car or like a small SUV. And it's just, it's getting very frustrating. We need someone needs to just like get a Silverado. You know what I mean. It might be me then. And I know I'm going to get the looks. I know I'm going to get one truck.

Dude, and like moving into like all my friends are started by houses like they we got to grant you all. What is that? Trent knows this. Very funny than the difference regionally because in the Midwest, everybody has a truck. I can get you five trucks in 10 minutes. You can't even find a truck on Long Island

in my career. I've lived out here for six months now. I haven't seen a single truck. I mean, there are trucks. There's definitely trucks. But like, there's definitely people that have Silver Oz out here.

I'm just saying my crew in particular, a bunch of pussies. We don't have trucks. We have like sedans. You know what I mean? Like we have, we don't fucking, we have compact.

cars. We get the park in the compact car section. Go to the Chevy website. Check out their EVs. EVs are now for everyone everywhere from our very good friends and our presenting sponsors at Chevrolet. All right. Another thing,

I got a correction. Game of Thrones was eight seasons. I know we were talking about seasons last show. And we were like, oh, yeah, it was only like five or six. It was actually eight. So I want to do correction on that. But I do think,

and then I think Frankie brought it up like that was a bad example because Game of Thrones one of the more successful shows of all time. But to the point that he was making, which I've heard Kirk Minahan make this point a lot too, which is for us to be doing this show as long as we've been doing it, think about your favorite shows that you watch or any TV show that you watch. A lot of times you're pretty much checked out by season one, two or three. You start to get the point where you're like, all right,

season one was great. Season two had some solid fundamentals, went a little bit off the rails, by late season two, season three, something like that. A lot of times you're sort of like, eh, they lost me. I'm not that into it that much,

which I get. if people respond to kind of our show or shit that we've done. We've tried to mix it up and tried to get better and always done different fucking shit, whatever. But to be here six, seven years later still doing it, we still have that core audience. Kind of amazing because it's hard for me to watch anything for fucking seven years straight. I think it goes deeper than two or three. I think four to five is probably where people start to check out or whatever you want to call it. Because I mean, I watch The Wire.

That's probably my favorite show. That went five seasons. And that was good. But it's, it almost when, but I think like we're using favorite shows, right? Like Game of Thrones, the Wire, lost. Think about how many shows you've watched that you're like, I'm going to get into this. I heard it's great. And you don't make it through four or five seasons.

Yeah, better call Saul is like that for me. I watched a couple of seasons of better call Saul. And I was like, yeah, I don't think that's, I get what's going on, but I don't need to watch the rest of it. Is that's a shameless. Shameless. Shameless. I feel like that that was like the one that people got sick of. Like after four seasons of it or whatever it was, people are like, I can't believe

these guys are still poor and like he's still like coming home drunk like it was the same thing and then I heard the final season I didn't watch that's probably the only show I didn't watch the final two seasons I just stopped watching one of my shows that I watched and I heard like the endings one of the more preposterous endings of all time remember frankie when um succession came back for season two or three I remember you made the point that it's a show that learned what people liked they liked that cousin Greg was like uh, neurotic and he couldn't form a sentence. And then, you know, fast forward to season three where that's all that he does.

It's a bit of a bad example because that show is still great. But it is when a show realizes what the public likes. And I know lost got no pun intended, but they got lost in that where they would see what the fans liked or what the critics were saying and they would adjust the show to what they were saying as opposed to what they did originally when no one was watching because it wasn't a show. They were just like, this is what's in my brain. and this is what I want to write.

This is what I want to shoot. And when a show learns what it like, what the audience likes and starts to make the show for what the people like, it loses a little bit of what it was originally. Hey, that's exactly what I made. That's the exact point I made last show where I was like, we could switch everything to the beer drinking.

Everyone thought that was like shots at every other fucking brand. But it's like, we've always just done the things that we've always done. Do we switch the model just to get these easy YouTube clicks? Like, do you just sit there and do that just to kind of morph into it? And I think like succession and all that stuff, I think they kind of, they do a little bit of both, which I think is successful, where it's like everyone loves that cousin Greg can't get a sentence together. And they kind of happen naturally in season one. And then season two and three, he literally couldn't speak.

Like he would never, ever finish a sentence. And it was almost infuriating to listen to him talk. I love him. I love him personally. We did a pet interview with him and I love him on the show. It's one of the best shows of all time. But like they definitely saw, oh, people love when he can't get a sentence together. let's really hammer that home and he couldn't do it for me it's uh jin yin in uh in silicon valley's a good example

of that did you guys watch silicon valley oh yeah exactly it was like he he would come in as like a bit character and then everyone loved him and then they just jammed him down your throat the last season and it was like all right we've had enough to yeah character yeah it's like it's like kramer coming to the door people love kramer coming through the door i uh it's uh it's an internal debate that we have with our own YouTube of the point that Frankie was making, which it's like, if we, on one end, we always want to create stuff the way we want to create it, right? Like, that's just, that's the goal. That's what we always want to stick to.

But if there's, let's say, let's say you have to change it by 10% and you'll triple the views, right? You have to like sacrifice 10% of doing it the way you want to do it to do a little more chop cutty or YouTubey or whatever the fuck it is, then like, is that a sacrifice you're willing to make? I would say like probably yeah, if it's going to go, it's still going to be 90% what we want it to be. But if you get to like, well, it's 50%. You got to change 50% of it needs to be sacrificed to like changing the editing, changing the way that you do it, changing the way you film it in the interviews and the format because it'll get four, three, however many times the views, it'll get 700,000 instead of 100,000 or whatever the hell that is. Then like, would you make that sacrifice?

I would say no. So it's like, we have these discussions a lot. just so folks know out there of and you you almost can't help but be a victim to watching others. If you watch good, good or Bob does sports guys, whoever, and you see stuff that they're doing that goes and pops off. You can't help but like not let that seep into your own viewpoint. Even if you purely believe that you're going to stick to do and stuff the way you want to do it, you're naturally a human being.

Even when you listen to, if you listen to or watch ESPN or another podcast, your takes on sports get infused by those things that you hear because you're a human being that just happens no matter what and it would be irresponsible not to you have to keep an eye on the competition and an eye on the on the audience and know what's working and what's not working and you would think that they saw what we did and they kind of just made changes to be unique which is what everyone should do in business that's just what you that's just what you do i'm just saying like at the end of the day when we like do our yearly reports and we're like oh we had no 20 minute videos and nothing was jump cutting and nothing was like catered for that young youtube audience i think

about like, all right, imagine we just eliminated all of our long form videos that we've done that we've been doing for three years. Then, like, when you look at our resume of golf content that we've put out into the world, I think that it's diminished of what the potential we could do. I think if you look at our catalog of videos and you go through all of the ones that we've actually taken time to do, not like the four play versus or the rigs versus and the stuff that we end up doing each day, but like the actual ones, I was talking to Brennan about this last night. every time we put out an actual video that Brendan and Alex and all these guys sit down. A featured video.

A featured video, which we did a lot of them this year, at least two a week. I mean, it was insane how many we were doing. If you look at those, those all crushed it in numbers and every single one of them was like an hour long or more. You have all these travel series videos where you see every single hole from hole one to hole 18 with someone describing where the best place to hit each shot. So if you're going on a trip with your buddies, you can watch one of those videos and that can be your. precursor to your trip your buddy's trip your boy's trip to banon your boy's trip to merdle do we get rid of that just so that we can go play spin the bat and then like hit a ball like yeah maybe we can change a little bit of that but i'm kind of like proud of the fact that at the end of the day at

the end of our career that will be our catalog of videos that's our lane that's like what we've chosen to do so we have to keep doing well to keep some of the sauce that you've started cooking for sure but the flip side is you don't want to be so stubborn that you become the thing that you ultimately replaced right exactly you don't want to sit and be stubborn and say this is the way we've always done it. So we're going to keep doing that no matter what because then you're, you're the generation before us that we get so jacked up the media center. We call that the media center.

We call it old man media. You can't be wearing white shoes staring at a window. That's right. You really, if you and if, if you are too stubborn, you lose focus of that and you do become that. Now I don't think you have to wholesale change everything. But a little mix of this,

a little mix of that. I think that keeps you going. like we talk a lot about on the last two episodes just barstle as a whole the the a couple like the main thing that has gone well is adaptability yeah like when dave was like all right i'm a newspaper now i'm a blog now we're podcast now we're videos like the willingness to change is what keeps you ahead and we always talk about it out loud we always have these on-air meetings just like dave did when he was like on the rundown being like i'm starting a ticot podcast and everyone's like that's fucking stupid that's like ridiculous what are you going to do get like eight-year-old

like on board with barstool and then now he has the biggest ticot brand ticot brand is in the world i'm in two years he's a brian chicken fry and he's with josh richards and they get whenever there's drama on ticot they go on bfs and it's just like it's the source of all the news on the biggest platform in the world so dude so you had one youtube video remember that when they put that out that there was all that drama going on and they in like 10 minutes they had a million views on the crazy they had like a million concurrent views on a premiere i think it was like the highest premier ever. I have a question for, sorry, go ahead. Um, no, I was just going to say, like, I think you'll just see 20 minute videos now for us. You know, I mean, there's going to be like,

we're definitely just going to, yeah, I think we're definitely going to cater to like some people that want different stuff. I mean, that's just adapting. So I have the question for the, for the YouTube guy, or for, I guess Alex Bush, when I was at Digest, there were two different metrics that we would look at for an article. And one of them was total views. And another one of them was average time spent. because like on the actual article. Right. Because if you, if you clicked on an article and it got a million page views,

but everyone read it for, you know, 20 seconds because it was basically just a tweet and some text. That was different than if, you know, you got like a my Morgan Hoffman piece got a whatever views, but the average time spent and the engaged time. So does that matter on YouTube?

Does it matter what people are staying and watching? Our average like retention rate is through the roof. It's that long as a barstool by like 10 to 15 minutes. So it does matter. So it matters that people watch for, you know, for 30 minutes. I would say like, dude, on some of, on our like, I'm breaking 90, the average retention rate is like 43 minutes, like 44 minutes. I want to say it's absurd. It's like less than five minutes, isn't it?

We get messages from YouTube, like our YouTube rep being like, I don't know what you guys are doing. You're obviously not getting like a half a million to a million views, but like on your 300,000 view videos, people are watching the entire thing. I mean, because you got to think out of 300,000 people. maybe like 10. I'm not going to do the math on this, but if the average of an hour long video is like 41 minutes, that means like most of them are watching all 30 minutes. Right, because there are people who are clicking out after 30 seconds.

That's amazing, though. That's why videos pay so much higher than articles because by Morgan Hoffman piece, which sent every record at Digest, time spent page views. The average engaged time on that piece was about nine to 10 minutes, I believe. Right, which is insane. Because people just don't read.

I mean, especially a piece that long. It probably took about 40 minutes to read. So, I mean, people made it through a fourth. You got my whole 40 minutes, Dan. That was a great article. You got my 40s. It's just interesting to see the different metrics and like see how long people are watching. Yeah, I think I looked right now.

It's the average retention rate on YouTube is about 50% or so. And I wonder what the, I don't know what the average video time is. But the average retention rate is 30 or 40 minutes on a break in 90, breaking any episode is around that long, right? Maybe a little closer to 45. So people are watching 80%. That's fucking astronomical. So yeah.

So I know people, I think people actually enjoy when we do this bullshit where we air out stuff. But yeah, it's something that we debate all the time. And the people debating and making these decisions are us. And it's not like we're trained in this. Like, yeah, we do have folks at Barstool that are more like consultants that we throw questions at.

We ask about YouTube stuff. but mostly we just do try on air. We change fucking thumbnails or titles or, you know, whatever. And we, and we do. We see what works,

what videos we've put out that have popped off. Obviously, it helps. We have Roy McElroy in a video. But yeah, that's sort of our, our strategy has been just to try stuff and see, um,

uh, how it works. And so far it's gone pretty, pretty well, but it can always go better. So we do have consultants, YouTube consultants, pretty much every major platform.

We have a consultant for that. And I will say, for a lot of this, we've gone with our gut and have mostly been right. So we've been emboldened by that to a degree where you just feel like I think we as a group have a pretty good grasp on what is going to work and what's not. Now, YouTube decides their algorithm will decide like, oh, if there's this thumbnail or, you know, there's certain parts of it that YouTube is just going to pick up on and push to a lot of people. But in terms of the content and what goes out and what people like, I think this group has a pretty good

grasp on that. So, you know, whether it's, we adjust a little bit where we're still going to do the hour long stuff and we're going to do some 20 minute stuff, which I'm sure is probably where we're going to land. Whatever we do, we're going to go with our gut and we're going to go with what we think is right. And our blanket, our blanket kind of mission statement that we've had is similar to Tiger Woods, which winning takes care of everything. Ask them all time about world ranking points. You're going to be, just be like, I don't know, winning takes care of everything. For us, good content takes care of everything. If you just create good content, it doesn't matter.

Like, you know, like, yeah, you can change a little thing. Maybe it'll get in the jet stream a little bit more. Sure. Overall, if you just create great content, great stuff, that's what's going to matter. And great thumb. It's going to be really. The thumbnail guy is helping. Yeah, the thumbnail guy is helping.

It's huge now. Well, to be really a nice thing to see how the Taylor Made series does this year because we definitely kind of catered a little bit more towards the YouTube style of things because this was our, what was it, third year doing it and we were getting like kind of a repeat kind of guys where we've already played matches against them. So like how could we change it? I thought it was super entertaining, probably our most entertaining one yet. So it will be interesting to see how people see where it's like you're not just playing a regular round of golf against guys. You're doing different things with also golf being included.

That'll be interesting to see because I thought that stuff was great. I think it'll do well and I think it's going to be really entertaining. I think it's not just going to get views. I think it's really good, really good stuff. We went in. I know we spoke about it a lot on the show, so we don't have to react to. But we went in with more of a plan. We executed on it.

We had actual props and shit that we did and challenges and whatever. Players are still talking about it to this day. I saw Scotty Sheffler yesterday on the putting green in Capulah, and the first thing he said was a question about my shirt, which will make sense to you guys. And I'll just leave it at that. Okay. I like that.

All right, this little band right here, I mean, I know it's New Year's Resolution time. You're trying to be better. you're trying to improve as a human. I'm here in dry January and everybody's at the gym and they got new diets and all the whole deal. This puppy right here, this Woop Band, it's the official fitness wearable of the PGA tour. This thing, we've been wearing them for years now. This is the WOOP 4.0.

It's smaller. It's more sleek is the best way to say it. And now it's got these added data points. It's got your respiratory rate. Mine's good. Blood oxygen, which is incredible. It has that. Mine's great. My skin temperature plus 0.1, which is in the range of negative 0.6, 2 plus 0.5. Your skin's very important, by the way. It's the biggest organ on the body.

I searched yesterday how to make your face less fat. How to make your face less fat was on my Google machine yesterday. And one of them was, it was basically like your skin. in, it was just explaining just like how like, like you need to drink water because like it's basically inflammation. Your face is getting fat. You got to drink water. You got to eat all these antioxidant foods. I eat tofu yesterday, which is something we can talk about in a later date. It was actually really good. It tastes like a scallop. It's got the same consistency of the scalp. I actually really enjoyed it. It puts a little vinegar on it. But at the end of the day, what I saw was like what you eat is shown on your skin. Like your skin can get affected. Like you have to really take care of

that aspect. I never thought of that. Like if you're. skin's a little dry or inflamed and not looking good. It really comes down to diet. And when you talk about skin temperature, I feel like that all kind of is all encompassing into being a healthier person. I don't know what a good skin temperature is. Obviously, Woop does.

But it got me thinking like, you know, that stuff's important. Like you see that on that app and you're like, what the fuck does that even mean? Well, what does is it takes all of your like your averages. Like this is how you normally are and you're normally feeling pretty good.

So when you like when something's off, it'll tell you you're like, oh, you're regularly like this. your skin temperature is here. Now it's here. So you might have to make some changes or do whatever you need to do to get it back into that range. I hooked my whoop up to a peloton.

It was very easy. It literally says, do you have. I mean, you know you can do that. Oh, yeah. Your heart rate goes right on the screen. And then it goes into your whoop. And then your whoop says that you were cycling.

So it's all connected. It's incredible. Whoop also just dropped a feature called Trends, where you're able to see the progress you're making on a weekly and monthly basis, whether you're looking to get in shape or just play better or be a better person, be healthier, have your skin not look as bad. Whoop makes it super easy to track your progress, even during those moments where you get a little discouraged.

Enter the code 4. how um you got any what's the boots on the ground uh it's first day of school yeah first day of school it's big time first day of school vibes i like it because it's the first event of the year so all of the calendar year endorsement deals ended um and that's not something

that guys really like tweet about or talk about so you definitely see guys in the range and they're looking around like oh that's a new logo on his bag or like damn like i didn't realize he had like the night he was a Nike guy now like Tom kim showed up in full head to toe Nike I saw that. People were like fired up. They were like, all right, Tom Kim, like, he got the bag this off season. So there's definitely a little bit of, of everyone's kind of looking around. Patrick Cantley looks like the creative player on, uh, on, on, on 2K, because he's got basically no logos.

And you ask him and he gives you this rise smile being like, I'm in the market for a new clothing spot. It's just a little bit of a first day of school vibe. So it was, it was cool yesterday. And it's, you know, golf for all of the negatives that it has in the middle of the summer, we talk about like, uh, you know, they're in Charlotte. and then it just kind of the tour can be kind of anonymous. Easing you into the holidays with the Bahamas and then easing you out of the holidays with

Hawaii, pretty fucking great. Pretty fucking great. No, it's, it's nice. It's really nice. I was texting with Mike S. He said he went to bed. He fell asleep one night,

looking at the stars and was woken up by the whales is a text that he sent me. And I'm just like, yeah, I mean, you're in fucking Hawaii. Like, but, you know,

it's extending the holiday break for an extra. week and like the maximum amount that you can just soothe and ease yourself into a new year is what's going on out there which I like I have no fucking issue with that whatsoever on the endorsement deal situation I mentioned it off the top I imagine people probably wouldn't want us talk about this or whatever I don't really care uh so the knowing up crew signed with title list they've been Calloway for a while we obviously signed with Taylor made a couple years ago and the interesting part about that is right afterwards I saw that the good good crew announced that they went with Calloway.

And then also I saw that Kevin Kisner, who's been Calloway for a long time, is now not with Calloway and is with Wilson staff. Wow. It's just a lot of moving pieces and a lot of moving parts. And to put a little bit of context on this for the listeners from us is a few years ago, we made kind of the push with what we're doing to basically pitch ourselves more like a professional golfer on the, on the whole and from a sponsorship standpoint and get more away from the one-offs.

And if people recall in 2020 during COVID, which everybody's fighting trying to make advertising dollars and all that because we were in the middle of a global pandemic, the whole fucking world was shutting down. But at that point, we were doing a lot more one-offs. There's certain videos we'd be in one apparel company. Next video, we'd be in a different apparel company. Then we'd have a certain equipment thing, whatever. And we said as a whole brand at Barstall Sports that paints ourselves as authentic.

And now here, one week we're wearing this, next week we're wearing that. Seems a little bit. It's just tough for us. What we would like to do, we worked with our business team at Barstool, and they did a phenomenal job with this, is we think that we're as relevant weekend and week out as almost any pro golfer on earth. So we should have closer to deals like they have. We wear the same apparel, where we rock the same equipment.

And then day in and day out, we're plugging the same stuff. We're going to over deliver because that's what we do. just becomes a part of our life. Let's do that. And they went out, pitched it. They had bidding with different companies and did their whole sales thing. And we ended up, obviously, with Taylor Made at the beginning of 2021, I believe, was that, which was whatever, was that two years ago?

Yeah, two years ago. And then Taylor Made, we signed a, we re-uped with them relatively shortly after that. Taylor Made's been fucking amazing with us. I can't even imagine being with equipment company. It's better than the equipment company that Tiger Woods chooses to use and Roy McElroyd chooses to use and Scotty Shefford chooses to use. So it's been nothing but the best. And then we did that obviously with

apparel. Peter Millar is becoming an enormous part of everything that we do. G4, Owens Mixers was there forever. Chevy's with us now. Like, that's just become a big part of our model and how we do it. I don't think it's a stretch to say that other entities saw that. I don't think it's a stretch

to say that golf endemic companies saw that the influential world, and this is no surprise anyone, in terms of social media, TikTok, YouTube, all the shit that we've talked about already, is going to be going forward, the place that you get exposure,

almost more so than anywhere else. And so seeing these kind of tweaks and Dan talking about, oh, this guy went from this endorsement deal to that, endorsement deal. We just saw that in our world on the content front in the last couple days, which is pretty damn cool. I know it's competition and all that. Yeah.

I thought it was pretty damn cool. to see the nulling up crew getting like a big tidaless deal and to see the good, good crew getting like a Callaway deal. Like, yeah, those are our competitors. Yeah, that's Taylor Made's competitors. I think that's really, really cool. I think that's going to deliver more content. I saw what JT and Speeth are playing. Like I think that's overall a pretty awesome thing for the world of golf.

Yeah, I think the manufacturers have made a decision that signing good good or signing foreplay to a deal is going to sell more golf clubs than sign. world number 65. I mean, it's just, it's a cold calculation. And I think the reason why is is because especially with Good Good makes a ton of sense with how young their audience is. It's like, yeah, if you look at the 10 to 16 demographic, I would bet you, I mean, I don't know if there's a way to measure this, but a higher percentage than you would think of those people watch more golf on YouTube than they do the, then they watch on the PJ tour. Oh, a million times. You're right. Yeah. So it's like, and golf is this unique thing where it's like there's no real culture. I don't think of people playing basketball on YouTube or football on YouTube.

But there's this whole side to the golf business that doesn't exist in other sports that has forced these manufacturers to look outside the box with their marketing deals. Well, and it's for like Taylormate specifically, because we can speak to that where they're not, they still have the Rory's and the tigers and the skies. Big guys, huge guys that you need for a. at company like Tailomey. And then it's like, hey, why don't we, you know, try and reach this other audience, this YouTube, this podcast, this social media audience with, with a foreplay, a barstool sports, you know, they do reads on chicklets and PMT. And it just reaches like Rory McElroy and Tiger Woods are going to reach who they're going to reach because they are who they are. They're going to be on broadcast. They're going to be on big commercials. People are going to

see them if they watch golf. But then there is this audience, this very young audience. And if you know anything about marketing dollars and demographics, you want a young audience. No matter what, you want a young audience that can spend money. And that is where a four play of barstals sports thrive. So why not throw some money at them, integrate them a little bit with our content, have them use our clubs, have them wear our apparel, have them wear our shoes. And we'll just see what happens. And clearly it has been successful with us to the point where these other brands are

reaching out to these other entities being like, let's try it with you guys. That's just what is going on. And they're all in Carl's Bad, right? Like that's where these companies are. Those people all know each other. They all work in the same industry. They all get feedback that this has worked out incredibly well for Taylor-Mane, incredibly well for us. And Dan, you were talking about this earlier with like, do you take number 65 in the world or you take, you know, good good.

Let's use good good good, for example. And I pulled up team the Callaway guys. I think you got one name there that's bigger than Good Good. So they got John Rom, Zander Shafley, Sam Burns, Mark Leishman, Siwu Kim. I don't know if Sam Burns is even selling more clubs than Good Good. I would say John Rom is bigger than Good Good. And then after that, maybe it's a toss-up with Xander. Maybe depending on how good of a year he has.

But the thing that you're beholden to if you go that old school route is they're not relevant all the time. Right. Like if you do this big deal and you're relying on on Zander Shots, or Mark Leishman or Sam Burns at this point. Obviously, Rob's Rob. But you need them to be, you need them to win multiple times a year or be in the hunt all the time. And even then you're hoping that the TV coverage happened to like them that week and puts

them on TV and they get that exposure where you know what you're going to get with us and with these other crews that are doing it, which is like 52 weeks of the year, we're putting out a couple podcasts that are an hour and a half long that are on YouTube. Two days a week now, we're putting out these. featured videos that Frankie is detailed greatly that our guys work their dicks off on that are 20 maybe 20 minutes going forward 20 45 an hour and a half long that we're going to be up there using tailor made rock and beatable are we're going to be on social putting out social ads daily nines uh break in 90s fixing frankies like all kinds of stuff that were there all the time so you're not

hoping to god that we just happen to be relevant that week like in theory these successful brands and bless up, we've become one of them. We're relevant all the time. And this is clearly the calculation that Taylor made and these other companies have made. And I think we're going to see more of it going forward. And the value is there, right? Like I don't know, I don't know the specifics of any deals of the Tigers, of the Rories, of the ROMs or whatever.

I would imagine it's a pretty rich deal. And then you, you know, you just, this is like a new market for everybody. Like we've never done something like this before, before we did it all like Taylor made have never done something like this. All those other brands have never done something like this. So you're just kind of like, let's try this. Here's how we value it right now. And let's see what the fuck happens.

Like it's, and I think you're right about that where the relevancy is super important. Like we're talking in YouTube videos that get hundreds of thousands of views. And you just like you're saying with the contention part, you don't know what these golfers are going to do week, weekend and week out. But you kind of know where the views are coming from from these YouTube brands. But these golfers don't have the same brand.

I do know that the, the, I'm not. I don't want to come off as ignorant. I know that only up guys have been with Calais or were with Calais for several years, but I do believe that was not as comprehensive and as all in of a situation as what it appears these newer deals and what our deal is from the stuff that I saw. I could be wrong on that. I don't know the specifics at all, but just from talking with people behind the scenes, talking with a couple of their guys, which those guys have always been nice to us in person.

It's like that I do not believe that that deal was on the same type. of level as the deals that we're looking at now. And I could be wrong about that. But I don't want to come off like, oh, nothing's like this ever happened before. They did have a Calaway thing. But again,

I don't think, I think it was a little more, it was just kind of smaller and I think less involved than the deals that we're seeing that. I think it's also a brand loyalty thing. Like, I think you have to have those big golfers as almost as like a prerequisite. Like,

okay, we have these guys. So we're one of those brands, right? We're one of those brands that the best players in the world are going to use. Now, how do we differentiate ourselves? not a lot of people are feeling a lot of brand loyalty towards Sam Burns.

And that's no disrespect to Sam Burns. He's just a quiet kid. He's probably 10 in the world or 12 in the world. But good, good, and foreplay and knowing up have these fans who have been with these people and they've been listened to them for fucking hours every single week. And so when they tell you like, we're Callaway guys, you want to be a Callaway guy too. There's just a stronger. It's a parissocial connection that people have with these brands that they just don't have with PJ tour players.

shout out to Taylor made for being like one of the first to do this and they have by far the best clubs out of anyone. I mean, that's not even just a plug. Like when you have Tiger Woods playing for you and Rory McElroy and Kalamorakawa and Scotty Sheffler, why do you need to go and get anyone? You know what I mean? That's that's the amazing part that they saw the vision, the Mike Essies and the and the, um, the barbootyes of the world. Ryan Lanner. Ryan, like the fact that they saw through all that. was like, no, no, let's actually pivot before everyone else does because we know that there's

going to be this untapped market where everyone's going to want to buy stuff on YouTube. Yeah. And there's also, it'll be interesting to see how many like nine, 10 year olds like are into these other brands now. I mean, we definitely have an older demographic than the competition. It's just like what we've seen. Maybe not no laying up. But it'll be interesting to see if they can like make all these kids like Calloway

kids. I don't know how successful that'll be, but we'll see. But it's also, this is also. this is also coincided with with deals the deal flow with average pj tour players or not is way lower than it used to be so there's this trade off here because it used to be you got a pj tour card you could get a hundred grand to wear a hat and it was like that that happened all you know it was quick that's just not there anymore and so many more guys are going the free agent route because riggs we talked about this with aaron wise if a guy can get 200 grand 250 grand from

ping or from cobra at the beginning of the year that's great but that comes with things that he has to do and he has to go to their media days and he has to play all their clubs if he doesn't like them. But if one single shot in one of these elevated events now is 700 grand, then there's just no value for the players in taking a deal like that. So they have more money to spend because they're not giving the players that money as well. Big time. And I'm actually going through this a lot or I'm at least seeing inside the window of this with our guy, Alistair Doher Doherty, who he, he, He's, you know, he's finally got his corned fairy tour status, which we've documented.

He's got his first eight starts guaranteed. He's most likely if he plays the way he knows he can, and he's going to play a full season on the corn fairy tour. So now he's got some sponsorship opportunities coming his way. Ours is one of them. We're paying him. He's going to wear our apparel. But he's got these different equipment deal offerings that, you know,

he's at a pivotal point where he doesn't really have any money in order to support himself and be comfortable financially throughout the year. he has to entertain these offers from equipment companies that might not be the equipment company that he necessarily 100% trusts in the most is another one. But he's like, I think I might have to take this money. And I'm testing out all this equipment. And where I'm like, dude,

are you crazy? Like the only that matters is playing the best golf that you can. Like don't take an equipment deal where you're not as necessarily as confident going in. Like use the best equipment for you. That's what you're saying. But he's like, I have to have the cash. So he's in this tough spot where then he's trying to balance sponsors and trying to find sponsors that'll float him the money.

And it's like we talked about with Aaron Wise, Dan, it's like when you go all the way up to that next level now with the elevated events and all that, you're seeing it more from players of like, no, no, it's not worth it for me to take the 250 grand deal for this equipment company. We could bury like PXG right now or something because they're going better from like PXG because I play better golf with Taylormade. and if I'm going to make way more than that $250,000 difference in theory by using Taylormade over PXG, so I'm not going to take that deal and I'm just going to be able to use whatever I want, which is I think also more of a function now, obviously of Tiger Woods over the last 25 years, but also of the live effect where there's just more money at the higher level. And so it's way more worth it now to make sure you actually do play the very best optimal golf than it is to get that guaranteed money from a sponsorship deal because there's so much fucking money in the

price balls. Yeah, the purses have just exploded way, way faster than the equipment deals. Yeah. That's basically what it comes down to. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, overall, I saw that come across my desk, as Frankie would say, the last couple days. I found an interesting and I thought about it a lot because this is our world.

This is our job. This is our career. And I think it's really cool. I thought seeing that type of stuff, I was like, dude, that is the future. That's like something that seven years ago, we couldn't have. fathomed. And I remember all those responses. And I was looking at a bunch of the tweet replies to to both of them that were like, congrats, guys. And that's like people doing what we've done that are feeling that that success and that deal. Overall, throwing competition aside, I thought

that was really cool. I find that stuff fascinating. And I agree with you. Like, even if I, like, even before I got involved with this job or whatever, I always found like the media landscape fascinating and like where it was going to go, where the dollars were going, who was getting elevated and this and that. So yeah, it's, it's a little strange now that we're so involved with it. We are just, we're one of those brands and we're just moving forward and we're going to keep doing what we're doing. So I think the whole thing is fascinating. I agree with you. Always comfortable. Always epic designs, always guaranteed to impress. Look, it's no joke that we take merchandise very seriously. We love merchandise. We love going into pro shops and getting stuff.

So much so that we've created our own. And it's the barstool store. You go to store. at barcel sports.com. We're all wearing stuff right now. I got the Peter Malar lava wash hoodie with this cool B-cross-T logo that we whipped up. Trent Ryan's got a little For the Cure, which I believe is actually in February is breast cancer awareness month. So that puppy's coming up. You're getting hyped up and ready. Trent, Daddy.

I'm getting very hyped up. I'm ready. I'm wearing pink. I feel good. Frankie's actually got on one of my favorite hoodies that we sell. Yeah. It's not a Barstall golf thing, but it's just a general Barstles Sportsman. This is, yeah.

Our merch team came up with this kind of. alternative barstle sports logo and i really enjoyed it i mean we did like a photo shoot in the office for four place stuff and this happened to be in the box and i was i guess polar and i said i'm like can i just take that home and like the back has an awesome logo on it it's very cool we're always coming up with different things that even i never see unless we're like walking in the office and you're just like when the hell would be coming up with that thing i mean it's a it's a stunner stunner so uh we got hoodies we got hooties we got execkers you name it we got it shop now it's stored at barcelports.com.

You could go into the brands and click Ford Play, click golf. Check out the entire store if you'd like. Obviously, we got a lot of good stuff. We prefer if you buy our stuff. But store at barcelports.com, a bunch of phenomenal items. Our entire merch team does better than any merchandise

team in the world. Allison, Pilar, Alex, Quinn, everybody over there that works hard on the merchandise team. They just do it better than anybody. It came in imagine being better at the merchandise than they are. We're going to have merch at tournaments this year. So get ready for that.

But make sure right now you get ready for the year, for 2020, 23, by going over to store. at barstolesports.com. I want to make a quick note if we're going to, we're potentially going to do a shoot with Dude Perfect. That ends up not, it's not going to work out. I'm going to spare everyone all the details. But I think that they were definitely interested in doing something with us.

And to go full circle on the U.S. YouTube will whore ourselves out for views type thing. If anybody from Dude Perfect out there knows how to get in touch or anybody knows how I can get in touch with the Dude Perfect team and just say, hey, I know this thing that somebody else is putting together for us didn't work out. Let's get in contact and let's fucking do something. I can't promise to you,

Amen Corner. I can't do that. But I think you'll have a good time and have a couple last. We'll throw hoops that pins with you, whatever you will do. Well, I'll jump through a, fucking hoop wearing an outer space costume like a tase that ain't corner sure just no whatever you guys

talk about hitting your 20 23 numbers if you do one video with dude perfect it's over well we talked about this when the when the augustin national thing happened where we were saying you know oh this is great because it means alternative brands are getting access to the most sacred golf course in the world and then as the conversation went on we started talking about subscribers and how many they have and how many we have and how many everyone has. They are, they're just a whole different thing. So listen, I'm with Riggs. I'm with Frankie here.

If anybody from that group wants to do anything, we are on board. Yeah. On board. Yep. So again, there's got to be a way that this audio is going to get to someone in Dude Perfect and please just, even if someone knows how I can reach out, I'll reach out. I'll reach out. I'm not asking you to reach out to me necessarily.

I need an email address, a phone number. I make a call. what's get in touch. Let's fucking do this. The three brands in in the internet. The three brands in 2K were four play, Nate shot and dude perfect.

We already have Nate. We're best friends with Nate shot. That guy's the best of all time. We need to get him with dude perfect. I mean, we're on the same level in that video game as them. So hopefully we can do something outside of the virtual world. Maybe they only want to do stuff with us when they don't are.

Our guys are sending us 2K numbers last night. I don't, I don't know if they're good. I don't know if they're like, I don't know if they're good or bad, but they seemed like high numbers. Without giving specifics, because I'm sure they don't want to release everything.

I would say that I think 2K was blown away with how many people competed in the breaking 90 ladder challenge where you can access. Like if you break 90, you get a piece of clothing. If you break 90, 10 times, you get a hat.

If you break 90, 18 times, you got a shirt and it kept going on and on. You have to play a lot of golf. You have to break 90 a million times. So when you think about it that way, like you literally have to play about 30 times, I think it was, or maybe 25 to get the full three pieces of merchandise,

Barsal's got merchandise. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of merchandise were won and consumed by people, hundreds of thousands. So, yeah, without giving specific numbers. It was an insane number. Absolutely insane number. Really, really cool. And that's just the beginning. We still have more stuff coming out.

Who knows how many, when our characters go into the game, who knows what that's going to take. That's going to be insane. Um, those numbers, I had to confirm with our resident gaming dweeb, Alex Bush, who's behind the scenes. Those numbers are legitimate and shocking and very impressive. I think the break in 90 challenge to how many people have done that. It's like in a video game, remember the Tiger Woods game back in the day, you would try to shoot like 46 or something. And so to think in a video game that it's so realistic, which, which 2K is, it's so realistic. It's so fun.

it's so much like real golf that so many people are participating in the breaking 90 challenge to basically go through the same thing Trent's going through and then continue to climb the ladder what a fucking world we're living in right now really cool really world yeah um all right i got some big news out of um a place that pretty close to me pinhurst pioneers uh this is coming out in six minutes but our our podcast coming out tomorrow so it'll be pinnors is announcing it there building a 10th golf course. Whoa. And Tom Doke will be the architect of the 10th course at Pinehurst.

Doak obviously has his fingerprints all over Banden. He's got him all over Sand Valley. He's got them all over a lot of places around the world. I believe the second course that we played at Barnbougal was a Tom Doak. But anyways, he will be building the 10th golf course at Pinehurst, which will be, if anybody knows the area well, the pit, there's a, there's a plot of land like eight, ten minutes away from the main resort called the pit that used to be a golf course.

And now it's kind of just this giant reservoir where that Pinehurst is owned for a while and they haven't really figured out exactly what they're going to do. They've, they've debated a lot of different plans. They have settled on creating 10th golf course of Pineers that's going to be designed and built by Tom Doak. So very cool stuff out of Piner's. that place is going to be called manufactured golf balls being hit.

I've just never seen anything like it. Another golf course of Pinehurst is so insane. The fact they have the demand, right? Like, think about how many people have to go there and play all 10 golf courses every single day. Ten golf courses. Is it known how much land they have available to them? Disney World.

It feels unlimited. It does feel unlimited. Not to make this about me or where I went to school, but it reminds me of when you, walk around Cambridge and Harvard owns everything. And you would go like a mile and a half away and there'd be like a hospital building and people would like, oh yeah, Harvard owns that building. Harvard owns that building.

Yep. It reminds me of that with Pinehurst where you're like in North Carolina. Like how many towns over can we drive or Pinehurst just owns everything at this point? What's the history behind Pinehurst? Like how the hell did this all start? Did someone like was it like Walt Disney went down and found a plot of land in Orlando? It was like an overnight destination for trains from people from the northeast, right, rigs?

Yeah. There's all these. There's all these like walking. through the lobby of the Carolina of the Carolina. There's all these different like come to Pinehurst. It's an overnight trip from New York City. Wake up in Pinehurst. Those things are very cool.

If you look at those, they're unreal. But I think that's right. I think it was like the late 1800s that that was known as like a great winter or like shoulder season destination as you go down to Pinehurst, North Carolina. And they were playing like croquet. And then there was nine holes,

I think originally. And then all of a sudden they snagged Donna Ross. And he built a billion golf courses down. down there and by the early 1900s, it was like this golf destination because they found the Sand Hills in North Carolina and he's Scottish and it could play like Link's golf and boom, all of a sudden you had you had Pinerst. I think it's pretty much like that. But the Hallion, I think is the original, which was built in 1895, which is why the Pioneer's logo I think has 1895 on it. And then the Carolina, I believe, opened in 1900. I think about how long ago it is for

those things to be around. The hotel was around 130 years ago. Yeah, and then you go to Scala and then it's like 1895 is the new course. Is the new course. That's true. All right. What else do I have on my little list here? Oh, I'm playing at a golf tournament this week with our boy Alistair, who I just mentioned

earlier. Kind of a, just real quick, I'm a little intimidated because it's a pro scratch. I'm not a scratch, clearly not a scratch golfer. But it's a big tournament. It's called the Twin Finn. It's at Greyhawk, obviously. It is around here, kind of known as like a warm-up for when, before guys go to Hawaii, that didn't make it into the tournament of champions.

So, like, Wyndham Clark's playing. Obviously, Colt Nost is playing. Like Tom Lehman and his son play. A ton of pros play in this thing. If you look at the winners, the guys that have won it over the years, it's like all legitimate PGA tour professional golfers that you know. And then you're going to have me and Alistair in this thing playing. But I think it's a little bit of a shit.

show. I think there's a lot of booze in that goes on. That's why we're recording so early. I just witnessed the sun come up. Dan has not seen the sun come up yet. This, the sun won't come up until after this podcast is done. I will obviously be reporting upon our performance. Tomorrow, today we got a practice round. Tomorrow is a two-man scramble, which I like our chances because Alster hits the ball a mile and hits it really straight with his driver. And the one thing I'm actually decent at is wedges and putting. The following day, the final round on Friday is just pure best ball. There's no strokes or anything.

So I'm going to need Alistair to shoot like 12 under on his own ball that day. Because yeah. It's crazy that you're still playing golf. Like I'm at that level right now where I don't even know if I could hit a golf ball. Like I've gone too many weeks where I don't know if I can do it again. I think everyone, like every golfer that plays a ton during the summer and the fall,

they experience this feeling where it's like it's been a month. The last time I hit, I think I hit one ball. when we did like this commercial with tailor made like I don't even know I don't know when the last time a club has hit the has hit a ball and I'm a little nervous about it like I don't know if it's just going to come off the same way it usually does am I going to be able to hit drives do I even have the swing anymore and you always have this daunting anxiety filled feeling but then you go out and you're like oh yeah I can do it but I am nervous like I just haven't hit golf balls at all it's strange here in New York that the weather hasn't gotten so bad that like it's 55.

It's 55 degrees right now. Like it's January 4th that we haven't gotten any snow, really. And it just doesn't, hasn't felt like like normally you know when it's like, all right, put them away. You're done till the spring. Around here recently, it's just been like you can easily play today.

It's the dirty side of global warming. I guess more golf. It's not the worst thing in the world for the golf community. But I see. I don't know if I, by that because we did a whole thing about how the whole world is like a degree warmer. And I was talking to my uncle and he was like 25 years ago because we were talking about the weather on Christmas Eve and he was like it was the same exact weather because he knew because

like his kid got born that day. He remembers like he remembers like going to the car and it was like 20 degrees and then like when he got out of the place, it was 50 degrees the same day. It was the same thing. Oh, it was the opposite. Christmas Eve this year in New York. It was like 50 degrees in the morning and then at night it was like 19. It dropped like so much.

And he remembers like, he said, dude, 29 years ago, it was the same weather. Everyone's like freaking out that like we woke up and it was warm in the, in, in, at 8 o'clock in the morning. No, when I was in Hawaii, I was texting my family back home over Christmas. And it was like that blizzard blew through. It was the wind show was negative 35. My brother was sending me pictures. So I don't know. I don't know about any of that.

I just know that right now it's 55 out and you can easily play golf. You guys see this Oppenheimer movie that's coming out? Yeah. What's the snowing? Killingen Murphy. Christopher Nolan is directing, I think. That's right. Yeah.

What about it? Did you see in that, first of all, it's an amazing trailer. Like, the trailer is got my fucking dick. It's a destroyer of worlds. Destroyer of worlds.

Like, they, anything with Thomas Shelby in it, I'm obviously going to watch. And then you add that type of trailer with the suspense music in the background. He's climbing up this fucking ladder to go check on this nuclear bomb. He's about to unleash.

I, I don't think I've ever seen a trailer like that number one. Number two, they say something in there that I couldn't stop thinking about that he makes, he essentially says that it's not a zero percent chance that he ends the world when he hits that button on that test. So I think it was like, I don't know who it is. Was Brad Pitt or someone, maybe whoever the other main actors in that movie, I can't remember who it was but he's like you're telling me it's not zero percent like there was like maybe one percent

chance that when they do hit that button the world was going to end because it was going to ignite the atmosphere right he's like yeah like he looks at he's like this could happen he's like yeah it's like 98 percent sure it's not going to happen but they're like so it got me thinking like holy fuck imagine hitting that button being like i know it's probably not going to happen but when i do there's a 2% chance I end this thing. The whole thing. That's the age old thing with scientists where it's like, we can do this, but should we do this? Is the question.

Whatever the percentage is, it might be a little too high for me to accept him. What is way too high? I don't know what they said in the trailer, whatever the percentage was, but it's just a little too high if it's more than zero for me. Anything higher than point oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, I think, I think you get, once you get to the point one, even point one is way too high. way too high. If you give me for sizes, you're going to blow up like your city or whatever

with like a test, I might even be able to sign off on that. Like if it's for the better minute. I'm just saying like the world. I know it's crazy. I'm just saying to end the world where there's no, there's no, I understand like there's reasons.

And I'm going to watch a movie. There's reasons for why they were doing this. There's for you have to do it. I guess. I don't know. I'm really excited to see it. But to end the whole thing. No.

No, man. I can't. imagine hitting that button bro i think i think you are mostly correct and with a lot a lot of people would say is right i agree crazy crazy i agree it was gonna ignite the atmosphere what's they mean i watched glass on you and that was pretty good oh yeah i saw that and i saw you like shitting on people for shitting on the ending the ending was horrific i just like okay you're allowed to say that the ending was horrific they like stopped caring about the movie um yeah no i yeah it's That's fine. I wasn't, I don't like feel that strongly about it. Um, I was just shitting on people.

I saw a tweet. I reply to one eight. I think you tweeted like I saw a glass on you. It was good. Someone tweeted Trent, you have a take that all movies are basically fine. Is that, is that true? I do. Yeah. I think generally, like most movies are pretty good. Yeah. Like I think, like pretty serviceable. I would say fine to you and you can really only go up. People who walk out of movie theaters grow up. Who are you to say like this movie is so bad that I'm going to leave. You. I'm going to leave and not see the rest of it. That's, that's immature and absurd.

But yeah, I think all movies, like, I've never watched a movie where I was like, God, that was just so bad. Yeah, because you're choosing which movies to watch. If I, like, forced you to watch one of these ridiculous movies. You go on these fucking channels. I mean, Verizon has a billion

channels and there's just nonsense on there. If I sat you down for three hours to watch this biopic of some random fucking guy, you're going to be like, I hate this movie. You're going to get up and turn it off. You're just going to click it.

We're speaking theoretically here. I don't know. I've never watched those movies. Really? So you don't think like every movie you watch? I'm saying you don't think every movie watch is because like you wanted to watch it. Like so I don't know if I. No,

I'll just throw on a movie. Like I'll go on a random Netflix and be like, oh, that looks interesting. And then you're just like, oh, that's fine. Yeah.

It's like I, my point is there has to bad movies out there. My thing is I don't understand when people get so mad at movies that they like, they have to publicly. be like that was horrible. It's like, I bet it wasn't. I bet it was totally fine. You're just throwing out with reviews then. Like, you're just not allowed to have like a review about movies. I'm saying, I'm just, I want people to know that this is my opinion. I'm not saying, I'm just, I think all moves are fine. People can say that, but it's like,

all right. I just, I don't think people are like, I just think people like to get mad about things because they think that their opinion matters. It's completely agree. With everything in the world. Yeah, like with a good point. Like, it's almost like when we, it feels a little bit like when we're asked to rate or rank golf courses. And I'm like, we're almost starting every course at like a seven or an eight. Right. So it's like if you say one's not, you say one's your least favorite on the trip. It's still by eight point five.

Yeah, but there are still guys who say that those great golf courses. Like there are people who say that Tori Pines like sucks. Right. And like, you know, you never play it. And it's a joke. Right. It's the butt of every joke. I agree with that. But in the golf course example, I'll take.

you to a shitty golf course that you don't want to play all 18 holes i'll take you right now it's called the eyes and our blue courses i mean not the shit but i don't know about that like i still think because like those are the courses i grew up playing in st louis too we play this place called bear creek all the time with my buddies and by all accounts it's a pretty shitty course and we love it it's like it's like there are shitty golf courses out there for sure there's one's that's out of bad but i don't know that like i i don't know that i would ever be at a point where i'd be in the middle of the round to be like, this place sucks so much. I'm leaving this.

I'm walking off. Like, you would walk out of a movie. It'd be like, this movie sucks. I'm leaving the movie. There might be, though, like, it might be like,

just sand greens and just like, we can't play. Like, we've gotten tweets about places that they've charged like $80 and the greens are just ripped up because like they, the tractor ran over it and like there, everything's overgrown and they don't have pins in the, I mean,

there's places in the middle of the country that just don't get to talk about there. That's like, that's like, some movies like, shit on, like they had no budget and like they just like, they just like cheaply made it and you sit there and you're like what the fuck is this thing is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life what is that bad movies I agree but

none that I was talking about like I didn't like I didn't like the cinematography of of this movie and I didn't like it it's like shut the fuck up just in it's a movie you've you've chosen to watch this and it's probably pretty good you just think that you have a critical eye that is like no no I didn't like the pacing it's like okay she got an email from Bob Jordan you know who that is. Does he run good good? I mean, does he run a dude perfect? He runs Southwest Airlines.

No. No. No, but it is it like a. It's not just the general. It's not just, Hey, Rick, saw that you were demanding my resignation. No. Dear valued Southwest customer, on behalf of Southwest,

I want to let you know we're so sorry. That's the South Park clip. We're sorry. Sorry. You've seen that clip? Sorry. Our purpose. Why do you capitalize purpose?

Our purpose. Dan, he's probably a sentence with our purpose. What is he God? No, it's probably like a company principle. Yeah. It's like one of those values.

Official document. Official document. Yeah. Says, okay. So the first, the, the greeting says, Dear Value at Southwest customer,

comma. On behalf of Southwest, I want to let you know, we're so sorry. Then a new paragraph. And it starts, our purpose has always been in our and purpose. And our purpose.

are both capitalized. That's one of those things where, like, when you, like, a company has a big meeting and they're like, these are our five values. This is our purpose. What is what we're trying to convey when they're just, they're selling like pens. But how to claim your 25,000 rapid rewards bonus points. All right. We're talking.

I saw this tweet come across my desk yesterday. Anyways. Yeah. You know, I, to, yeah, I would agree largely. with Tret, though, that, like, I'm not going to choose to watch a movie that I know shitty. Like, I'm not, I'm just going to probably select movies that are going to be at least on the minimum level. Yeah.

Just don't let Jeff D. Lowe and those boys see this clip. Oh, they love it. I tell, I tell you're putting away the art of likeing and not enjoying movies and, like, discussing like, like, that's what a movie is. You, like, want to discuss it and you want to talk about. Well, movies are my thing. Me and Jeffrey Lowe talked about one once upon a time.

Like, I, I, I don't. need to be critical of I don't need to look at everything with a critical eye like I can just watch a movie because I like movies like I would talk to jesse low about he wanted to have me come on a couple years ago and just do a segment where every movie review was just like I was pretty good and then just leave because it's I like I don't feel the neat like I just like I'm saying I just watch movies I don't have to be like oh that was this or that was that was that I just watch him like all right man that was pretty good so like the troy pines example is a great one Torrey pines one's a great one that's like Jeff D. Lowe and them are sort of the like Friday egg of like movies and whereas we're kind of like we're just enjoying just a person I'm just a guy who kind of like looking at it like oh that was great it was good entertainment you guys hated troy pines but I mean at the end I mean there's a whole video about how much you said it was like the most impossible golf course of all time when you play from the tips dude I didn't that way to quick yeah but we didn't say the like golf course architecture was horrible we're just like it was really hard but way too far back dude there was a little bit about how like they don't use like

the cliffs enough and like it's just a flat parkland stuff but at the end of the day I do think like not enjoying stuff makes you enjoy stuff more when it's good like the batman versus superman movie fucking blue and then all of a sudden the new batman came out and like that's just a much better batman movie you don't get that without not liking the first one i don't think you don't enjoy things unless you don't not i don't need to hate things to like things i just think that's the nature of it and how do you know it's like dave's pizza rankings like how do you know a pizza's good unless you eat a bad one. I just know that when I watch it, I like it.

Like how do you, like all pizza's pizza, but like one's significantly better than the other. Yeah. I mean, I, we can agree on that, but I, I think he's saying that the, the, the baseline is high, right? The floor is really high for the floor. That's what I meant. The floor, yeah. Yeah, I think our floor is just higher. Because I don't, I don't, I don't look at it in a critical way.

I just watch a movie. Right. Um, what else is I going to say? I can't remember what else I was going to say. I don't know. I saw, oh, we already talked about it. I saw a rival. Yeah.

Did you like it? What other movies? I did like it. I didn't love the ending, but overall I liked the movie a lot, which is I think. It felt like a really good 80 minutes. And then the last one was a little.

That's how I felt last ending. Yeah. No great way to end it. I mean, if you haven't seen a rival. I actually don't, I was like halfway through the movie, I started thinking like,

how are they going to end this? And then they didn't really. ended that great. I was like, oh, that makes sense. I don't know how you really end. It's hard to end a movie about aliens. It's hard. Because we're talking about something we don't know about. Like the Oppenheimer movie is a movie that we clearly know a lot about. So it's the ending is clear. Now, how you want to present that ending is up to you. But when an alien movie, it's just like, yeah, we don't know, like what they, we don't know their language. I've always found that to be the most impressive thing in movie making is when they, it's a movie about a true story and they still make you

have anxiety watching it. where you know how it ends. I'm trying to think of what I watched recently, where I'm like, I know how this ends, but I'm still fucking shitting. I remember the first couple times I watched Titanic when I was a child. The second time I watched it,

I was like, I feel like it's been a long time and this thing still hasn't gone down yet. I would say the pursuit of happiness is a good one. Pursuit of happiness is a good one where you, you know that it ends well for him, but like throughout the whole thing, you can't believe how horrible it's going

and you think that he's not going to make it. or you get a Tarantino movie where he completely flips it and he changes the historical part at the end, which I always thought was interesting. Yeah. Fuck, I can't. Glorice bastards and what was the most recent one? Once upon a time in Hollywood. Arrivals got something in it. Like, I've got a little bit of a fetish for those fake newsreels that are in movies when they like to do like fake CNN.

That shit's awesome. That shit, I don't know. Maybe it's the journalism in me, but it's like how the news would cover this. And they got like the actual CNN. They'll bring in like Wolf Blitzer for. little bit. I love that shit. Yep. It adds a lot of weight to it. For whatever reason, that gets me every time. They do those in like Mission Impossible movies. I feel like pretty well. But even then they'll hit you with a fake, fake one. They're like, what's the one of them?

They start the movie with a fake one where they're tricking one of the terrorists and they're giving them a code and you're all over the place. But I do, I agree with you. Those hit those hit hard for me. I like the fake the news. I have, um, I've come around a lot in the last year. just on the power of movies. For whatever reason, for a while, maybe it was COVID got me away. And for like a year or two, I didn't go to a theater

because the whole role were shut down. But just, I've been much more into movies lately. And I also had like a big, I think I've spoke about it, a bit nonfiction phase where I was just wanted to consume either documentaries or read books that were based on real stuff or listen to audio books. Whereas I got back into movies.

Movies just move you. You got to go see Avatar then before it comes out. I have to see. You have to. There's a spot walking distance, I think, from my place that does it. There's got to be IMAX 3D. You got to type it in, search it. Where is there an IMAX 3D near me?

Have you guys seen this, the Prisoners movie on Netflix? Is that what it's called? Prisoner? I keep getting it recommended to me by Bob Fox. He's like it's so good. Wasn't that a show back in the day with the two brothers? Prisoners? Jailbreak.

Oh, maybe I was thinking of jailbreak. I don't know. It's a movie that it's, I keep hearing about that I haven't watched. No, I have not seen that. It's like a taken movie, I guess. We talked about pickleball last show, and then I got inundated with pickleball companies

wanting to send me their new paddles. And like, you don't, the emails I got were insane. This is like the, I think they're calling it the fastest growing sport in America. Has to. I believe that. It's like untapped.

Like no one's really, I was kind of doing some searching on YouTube. like there's definitely some views out there like people are watching just matches like they're getting 150,000 views 200,000 views like tips videos I typed in like how to get better a pickleball like that video had like 500,000 views of a dude just in his backyard telling people how to get better. So it's a fucking people are watching pickleball content and it's not yet there. They don't have a league yet. Like I think they're trying to create like a professional league. I know Mark Cuban invested in one. Kevin Durant invested in one. Our boy Matt Walsh from from uh from uh who was

the New Zealand guy forever and played for the Miami. He hit me up. I guess him and some of his buddies are part ownership group of a team and they want to do some stuff. Dude, I'm telling you, we need to get in on this because I enjoy the fuck out of it. I got to go to the bathroom. I enjoy the fuck out of pickleball. I have my headphones in. There's these places that are popping up on Long Island. Trent, there's a place called like pickle and par that like this kid I grew up with just opened up in like Smithtown over here.

I mean, they're, they're pairing it with golf now where you can hit a simulator and you can also play pickleball. it is it's right in our alley it's right in our stream and i think that we need to dip our toes i think a cool a cool part about pickleball's rise too is it's cannibalizing tennis so there's this like crazy there's this crazy tension because all these tennis clubs are converting to pickleball clubs because they can put four four courts on one tennis court so it's like this massive beef i don't know how we tap into the pickleball market but i'm in i know lurch is a big pickleball player you know he's a good pickleball player yeah we need to yeah we need to start doing some content around it like i know I'm playing tomorrow.

Like I want to like bring a GoPro and like, I mean, my buddy Kyle is so good at pickleball. We went, we played 10 games the other day and we won eight of them at a 10 against good players because he's just dominating at the, at the, at the net in the kitchen they call it.

It was, um, it's fun, dude. Like you would like it, Trent. I bet I would. I'm not anti pickleball by any means.

I just have never played, but I've seen people play and, um, I know people love it. I know there's golfers that love it. Scotty Sheffler played and, Yeah, Scottie and Spieth did it. Maybe we play, maybe we do like a little combination with.

I mean, that's the entry point is you get, you get the big man, our big man, playing against professional players. You get them playing pickleball matches. Maybe you get a two on two. You get a novice, Frankie, and an expert lurch against a couple of PJ Tour pros. This is everything Lurch ever wanted to do here. For sure. Play paddle sports.

And it's now he's attached himself to the fastest growing sport in America. So there could really be an avenue. I want to play. I got to, I'll play. whenever one of these times that you go I'll go with you and I'll play it's so much fun like I want to go today like I'm like looking at times like it's it's I've got the bug I just like moving I like sweating and I like the art of just like small little shots it's nothing that doesn't hurt you like your arm doesn't isn't sore at the end of the day it's just everything's touch and like obviously that it's like golf it's like right there's big swings like you go after a 250 three wood and maybe you can clear the water or whatever like you're you're you're you're you're you're trying your hardest sometimes, but most of the time it's a nice little chip shot. And it's like it's a good level of physical activity where you don't feel like you're a bum because you sat. It's like, call, if you don't, if you walk a golf course, you don't, you're never like tired.

You're not like gasping for air, but you're definitely sweating and you're definitely moving around. So it's like it's perfect for us like in the late 20s 30s demographic where like you're trying to do things that are athletic, but you're not trying to play fucking a set of tennis. I will say I think it's gotten like a bad rap from people that haven't played where they think like the old like I was saying like, like Susie Lou next to you is like 85 years old playing. I think that's the same with golf where you can have just a group of like old women playing and they're just barely getting through the round. They're barely making contact. Like when you watch me and my buddies play, it was very serious.

Like I mean, there's a lot of running. We're huffing and puffing. We're panting. We're exhausted. But it's, it's limited. It's like you get some time to relax. It's not like constant running like tennis. What's the scoring system?

Because tennis for me, I'm all, whenever a big tennis matches on, people are like, oh, you got to watch. Serena. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know. I genuinely. I don't understand the sets. I don't understand any of that. And I would frustrate me, what is pickleball?

This is, the only thing that was confusing was the way you call the scoring. So essentially it would be like, let's say it was Trent and I were a team that we would be, we would start the round or let's say like after a couple points are in, let's say we're up one nothing and you're the first server. We would call it out one zero one because you're the first server. And then if you don't get a point on your serve, then I serve. And we would call it 102. And then I would serve.

And if we don't get a point there, it goes to the other team. So you only score on your serve. It's actually pretty easy. You play to 11. Well, we play to 11. I don't know what the pros do. But each side gets two serves each. And like if you keep rattling off points, you keep going, two nothing, two zero one.

Three zero one. Like if I'm just acing and I'm getting points, four zero one. And then I hit one to the net, then you would serve and it would be 402. And then if you hit one into the net, the other team gets the point. And now it's all about breaking their serves. And now you're playing defense being like, let's get back. Let's get to two. Let's get us.

Now we get our serve. It's very fun. Okay. Yeah. I get that. That makes sense to me. I don't know what the pros do, though. They might play the 20.

I don't know what they play too. I got to play pickleball. I've never played. Never played. I think my ankle is healed enough now that I can play pickleball. Nothing's still bothering you? It's probably 97% right now. Wow.

That was two and a half months ago. Right. The vision was out. I mean, I know it was bad. It looked bad. I saw the pictures that looked bad. Yeah, those tailor-made videos probably Now, I don't think we have a video

Sky Schaeffler coming out We have multiple videos of Sky Schaeffler We got Scottie, we got Colin We got everybody Yeah, it's crazy I mean, that's our first time hitting golf balls With Collim or with Scottie Shepler Yeah, true.

Bushman, what's our videos? What's our video schedule? What's our video update? We got anything coming out this week? You know anything? Yeah. I haven't heard. No, we got the 3M video coming out

tonight tonight so it'll be yesterday when this comes out and then we got um the next uh big cedar next week oh let's go is that pains valley is that pains valley is that pains valley yeah pain's valley big video that is a big video pain's valley with the reintroduction of lurch back into the mix true big video wearing some interesting wearing some interesting apparel if you remember what he turned up in yeah oh yeah it was so interesting that you i mean you want to talk about t's lurch showed up later in the round and then I ended up wearing his apparel within 10 minutes of seeing him. So that's how you might not even understand what that means, but that's what happened. That makes no sense to people who weren't there, but I was there and I don't really know what

you're talking about it. I know what he's talking about. It don't make sense when you watch it for sure. I did something in that video that I've never done before. See, I don't even remember that. I'm trying to think. Me and Lurch had a giant embrace. It was a crazy moment.

I actually forgot. Oh, I remember. Oh. I remember it was a downhill hole. Oh, yeah. I remember that. So this is a great video. So Payne's Valley is coming out tonight, Thursday night?

No, no. No, that'll be next week. It'll be Tuesday. Tuesday. What's coming out tonight? Sorry, I was redeeming my 25,000 rapid rewards points from Southwest for Bob Jordan. The Calimteran video. But that came out last night.

Oh, because it's actually coming up physically tonight, Wednesday. Yeah, that's right. Oh, it is. Came out last night. I think it came out last night. But we're recording this. We can't put it out during PGA tour play. That's why.

That's right. YouTube. Go to our four pages, YouTube, and there's just videos there that you can watch. All right. You're going to love Calam Taryn. You're going to love Sam, Sam Ryder. Both two excellent dudes. It's amazing how when you actually get these guys exposure in normal scenarios,

you find out how many really cool great dudes and women there are on the PGA and LPGA tours. Scott Stallings is one of them. I got to do a quick little update to people. I don't know if they saw this. So I saw Scott yesterday. And I was like, so like, how did that happen? Because the part that I was confused about is he's played the masters before. Like, it wasn't like he's this new guy who they just like had no information for.

He's played the masters. Apparently, the invite was sent to his old management company, which doesn't even exist anymore, which operated out of Georgia. Scott said he's never lived in Georgia a day in his life. So I guess the package was like sitting there outside lost. And another, the other Scott Stallings, who was a realtor in Georgia. whose wife is also named Jennifer, so same name and same wife's name, happens to own a condo that is adjacent to the building where it was sent. So it wasn't sent necessarily to him.

It said Scott Stalling said it had this address that was, I don't think this guy's actual address, but it was like right next door. Like what are the odds of that happening? A trillion to one. A trillion to one. And Scott said he's been in touch with the guy. He's going to have him out.

He's going to have him at the master's here. He's going to watch a practice around and hang out. They're going to have dinner. So it's a nice, it's a nice ending to a story, but just a wild fucking coincidence about Scott. Scott, because Scott's, Scott's, but Stallings is kind of, I don't know that many stallings. I don't know a single one. It's not like John Smith. It's like John Smith, right?

So for the other Scott Stallings, whose name is also Jennifer to live right next to that old wrong address where Augusta sent the invitation is fucking wild. It's incredibly unlikely. I didn't think Scott Stallings is just a rogue asshole. Like, he has to, he's like going to go dinner with the real Scott Stoll. or like the golfer scotts dollings and this guy is just like a problem like you don't know this kind of you don't know we have no idea of this guy is he's obviously nice the fact that he went through all this to send it to him message to him the way he wrote it was so like sweet and

innocent i play golf but not as well as you right yeah but i'm just saying that's one of these these like trolls that always shit on us all the time that's like a fucking like 21 year old like college bro that's just going to come and just like make fun of you and just fucking like try and swirl you and throw you into a fucking into a locker. You ever been swirlied? No. Okay.

I feel like that's not like our... No, I was like a couple generations before. Yeah. Yeah. The grease, like, generation. Right. Right. Dude.

Yeah. Fucking, I was watching... Did you watch that new video of that mentalist on PMT TV, whatever, you know? No. Part of my take has a YouTube video series where it's like PMTV, I think it's called. Yeah. And they put out a 20 minute video of that mentalist coming. back and doing fucking tricks.

So we talked about him a couple weeks ago when he went into the yak. This guy, there was like some things that you could see that he did on the yak where like he basically picked Brandon Walker's contact address and like everyone was like, well, he just all he does is he looks at it, lists of nine hits clothes on the on the phone and then kind of just like makes you not understand that your phone's been locked and you look at it, whatever. I understand that. Not, I mean, you can go watch the video, but I have.

have to talk about this. This fucking guy told PFT to look away. I mean, to, to grab as many starbursts as he wanted while he had Dan put his hands over his eyes. The mentalist had his eyes closed, but, and Dan Katz had his fucking hand over him. And he's like, you know, PFT, just take as many as you want. You can take some, put some back. So as he's doing it, PFT's like picking 20 and then putting back eight and then taking out 15. And at the end, he goes, he goes, all right, I'm done. And he goes, with his back to him, he goes, why'd you go around all the yellows? And PFT literally took all the yellows and put them all back.

And PFT's looking around like, what the fuck? And he goes, you have 11 in your hand. You have 11 starbursts in your hand. And PFT just drops him and like almost had a fucking heart attack. Like, just like he could not believe that this guy decided that he had 11 starbursts in his hand. Now, how the fuck did he do that? We got to lock him up. I don't know, but we got it.

Lock him up. We'll lock him up and we'll interrogate him. So then he goes, think of a friend's name from your past, just any friend's name. Okay. And then PFT's like, all right. And he goes, you got it? He goes, it's four letters, isn't it? And PFTZ is like, what?

He goes, I saw, he goes, I saw when your eyes stopped, like thinking about the name. It was four letters. And he goes, now think of this neon sign. See the name and the neon sign. I want you to look at all the letters in this name, right? He goes, you're looking at the G, aren't you? And he's like, yeah. He goes, the G is the last letter of the name, isn't it?

And PFT's like, what's happening? Dude, the name, he wrote down a name on a piece of paper. And he goes, this is it, isn't it? And it was like, H-A-I-G. That's like what P-F-T called this guy. How? That's not even a name. That's not even a name.

I've never heard that name before. Unfortunate. Dude. The whole situation is unfortunate. And if he's wrong, he's an asshole. Like, you come into this fucking, the biggest show on earth. And you like, say, I'm going to guess your friend's name. And you write down like Andrew.

And he's like, no, I was thinking, hey, you're out of here. He gets it wrong. Right. Every time. Every time. Who is this guy? And what is he doing to accomplish that? Does anyone have any thoughts? I know we don't have the answers. Does anyone have any thoughts as to how he possibly could, how he possibly could do that? I got to watch the video, but I know I'm not going to have any more answers once that happens. So I, no, dude, I really don't. Until we lock this guy up and interrogate him, I don't think we're going to get the answer. He's a master of like of understanding people's like, like their visuals. Like he goes, he goes to PFT, looks in the eye and goes, think of your first crush.

When was it? Second grade. Okay, second grade. And he goes, think of the name right now. Was it one letter, two, letter, three, letter four. And he goes, all the way up to 11. And he goes, you stopped thinking at nine, which means it's eight letters. And he goes, it was Christine.

And he was like, yep. It was. And it was that bad. He's figured something. He's tapped into some other thing. He must know a lot of names. He must know a lot of names. He must know a lot of names.

But that guy's got names of five letters and six letters. Yeah. That would be even worse. No, I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's, it's scarier that it's not magic. Because if we're magic, you could understand. This stuff's mental, though, man. It's like, it's not magic, obviously.

We got to get you in a room with this guy. That's well, that's all I know. It's, it doesn't exist. I got a Jeff house. Yeah, I think people got, people got places to be. Yeah, I got a call with a, for some, an upcoming project. That's right. That's right.

Yeah. Great show, boys. We'll, we can wrap it up. Let's wrap it up. We'll be back on Tuesday. First golf of the year this weekend, professional golf. So enjoy the tournament of champions. Enjoy Hawaii.

We'll be back on Tuesday. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
