It is Hero World Challenge Week. Oh, boy.

We had a long chat about almost an hour last week with our buddy Brandl Shambly, the best analyst in the game. Self-proclaimed. No, no, Riggs proclaimed. Oh, Riggs. I thought he did. No, no, I proclaimed that many times. And then he just agreed.

He said that Billy Horshaw, according to Billy Horshaw's words, I'm the best of the biz. Gotcha. Brandel Shambles said. I think he got into it with Billy again over the weekend. He did it a little bit. I like it. I love it. He gets a few whiskey, gets a few scotches in him, and he's ready to rumble.

That's our guy, Brandl. He just crushes you with his knowledge, with his research. He's the best. We're going to get through a couple of his quotes. If you did miss it last week, go back and listen because he really breaks down Tiger, how he feels about Tiger, what he thinks about his chances going forward. It was a little bit of a roller coaster ride. So, Tiger T's off in two days from when people are going to be hearing this episode. It is really going to be, I believe, his fourth start in over two years, which is Crazy Town.

There's a lot of... Where do you want to start with this? Because there are a lot of quotes. A lot of noise around it. A lot of noise from other professional players. A lot of noise from analysts. Let's start like this. What are your really...

and honest expectations with what we're going to see from Tiger this weekend. So this has changed dramatically. And you can feel free to work in some of the quotes because I know that makes you go one way or another. Yes. So this is this has changed dramatically, right? We actually sarcastically, I don't know, four or five months ago started talking about this exact thing, being like, here's where we're at. This happens with Tiger every fucking year. He gets hurt early in the year sometime before the Masters.

He doesn't play the masters. He has some sort of surgery. It takes him several months to recover. He eases back into it at his own event, The Hero World Challenge, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We legitimately mocked that several months ago. Yes. We were like, however we go fall for it, blah, blah, blah,

we're making fun of ourselves. We're making fun of Tiger. We're making fun of everybody. Now, we're a couple days out. I'm all in on the new Tiger. You are? I'm all fucking in. Zero sarcasm.

All in. I cannot. I can't help. He, I've, they've, they've, sucked me in, Trent, with the same bullshit. I started to write this piece about Brad Faxon today and his puff piece that he wrote yesterday, I believe it was in golf week after he played with Tiger, DJ, and President Trump on Friday.

It was a legitimate puff piece. I mean, I'm pretty sure Mark Steinberg wrote it himself. Well, you and I had been tweeting about it like, why is Brad Faxon involved in this foursome? Because the other three, obviously, big-time power players in all aspects of life, and then Brad Faxon. And then it comes out. this puff piece, Riggs blogged about it today.

He is, Riggs is getting all jazzed up here. He's got Brad Faxson quotes ready to go. So Brad Faxson, this is all of the other quotes I really like around this thing. The Brad Faxson one is the most, there's like no substance to it. It's all complete dog shit that we've heard before. His tiger looked great to me. He was happy and more than anything, he's finally pain free. We hear that every fucking time.

He comes out and he says like, I'm pain free. I'm pain free. And then he gets injured. And he's fucking the opposite of pain. free for six months he can't move he can't walk let's get back to it the issues he had with the last couple comebacks seemed to be gone he looked effortless he looked free he had some power i was impressed with how far he hit the ball probably i mean this is like trump s type stuff yeah it is it's like it's crazy time now and it just drove me crazy that like you got it he's got to put in

some ounce of of uh critique into this and then i would have been like okay cool there's nothing it's legitimately all positive puff bullshit and that actually this makes me nervous like he's trying to like compensate or something. I feel, so I'm not all in on this tiger comeback. I know I usually am but I'm a little tired because we've gone through this so many times

and the way that I feel about all these quotes coming out from guys like Patrick Reed, Ricky Fowler, Dustin Johnson, Brad Faxon's puffbies, what do we expect them to say? Like if they're doing right there, Tiger's so sensitive. This is the problem though because

they are saying it because they want to stay on Tiger's good side, not that they think that he's playing well. Because they know that if they play with him, like DJ and Patrick Green played with them today and Brad Faxx and played with him, they know if they don't say anything, he will probably take that as, oh, they don't think I'm as good as I was. Correct. And it's if, for anybody that read The Big Miss by Hank Haney, he tells a couple anecdotal stories of guys that would play with Tiger Woods and guys that aren't like super well trained or super experienced with the media that when quizzed by the media. about their round with Tiger recently would say something like, yeah, he kind of struggled off the tea, but it's nice to have him out there.

That's death. And then Tiger would never talk to the person ever again. He kicks you out very, very easily. He's incredibly and understandably sensitive about his image, about what people were saying about his game, et cetera, et cetera. So I don't expect anything different.

This was just legit over-the-top puff piece. Now, the reason that I'm all in is when I got Brandl today started tweeting positive stuff he's a guy that i do trust about tiger's action he said he posted a couple side-by-side pictures which you know i look at them

they all look to fucking say all i think everybody most people they just look exactly the same bradles he is just i mean i love braddle but he could be spinning tails and i just be like uh those all look the same braddle's up at three a m working on his new book dissecting these side by sides god bless his heart he's the best in the world at it so he tweets all things can

considered age, injury, surgeries. This is one hell of a transformation for Tiger compared to best. The posture is spot on. Takeaway, top of the swing, understandably, not as much out and up. But the transition blew me away. His right elbow now traces a path to the front right of his hip as before. And again, he was comparing that to his best swings, which were more of his upright swings from the 2000 era. He went on to say, getting stuck is a term that Tiger almost single-handedly brought to golf's vernacular. Simplistically, it could be narrowed down to the path of the right elbow and transition. 2016, Hero slash left, and he kind of goes to the picks. He says simplistically and then less off just a laundry list of shit.

Bottom line, Brandl is looking at the swings and he's dissecting and he's picking out stuff and saying, wow, this kind of blows me away at the fact that he's been able to make these transformations in such a short period of time. This combined with Patrick Reed today said, quote, I was shocked how fluid his swing looked and how far the golf ball was going. He's always been a little longer than me, but some of those drives today he got out there. Brad Faxson would also go on to tell this morning on morning drive a story of how, you know, Tiger was hitting the ball far than DJ half the time. He said one part five is like 610 yards.

Tiger hits a great drive. He's like 260 out. Hits a two iron as soon as he hits it. He says sit. It lands on the green and just about. is over from 260 with a two iron. It's all people jerking him off, but I'm all in because my boy, Brandel, he literally solidified it for me.

When he's positive on this, on stuff, when you combine that with all of the discussion that we had about the fusion, oh boy, the jelly donut, all the bullshit with the fusion surgery and how it changes the nerves, it fixes the back. You bring that full circle over the last couple of months to how good he looks, how far he's hitting the ball, the fact that he's pain. the fact that Brantle Shibbley himself said last week that if Tiger Woods were healthy and had any semblance whatsoever of his old game, he would annihilate them to the point where

Brandel was like speechless and said annihilate like three times in a row. So a couple things. On Brad Faxon, I think it's funny that I feel like Tiger thinks he's getting one over on us by not inviting Noda Bagu, and instead inviting Brad Faxon. Like if he had invited Noda, we all know Noda is a tiger mole, and so he will say positive things about him. Right. But Brad Faxon will be like, oh, no, he's going to be.

objective and all that. It's like he gave, not to be gay like a blonde wig. And it's the exact same thing from last year from John 16. And then, so you bring up the brandle stuff, and it's true. He's very complimentary of a swing and where it is now.

The only thing that he hasn't commented on because you can't really is his health. If he stays healthy, if he stays healthy, if he stays healthy. I have no doubt that his swing looks great. He hasn't played a tour of that, what was it, 299 days. You got a lot of time to practice.

He got a lot of time to heal. It's just if he can stay healthy. That is, that will forever be the lingering question with Tiger. And I just don't, I don't know. You got to see him play. That's really it. That's really what it comes down to. It's way more about the fusion, about the back, about the future of his back.

Everybody knows that, but we still can't help to dissect his game. All right. Expectations for, let's get down to it. He teased off Thursday, by the way. They released the pairings. He is playing with Justin Thomas on Thursday. Saw that, what, noon, 05. No, 5 is there, is there tea time?

And then you got Dustin Johnson, Brooks Kepka, a lot of good groups, but obviously Tiger and JT are going to be the main event. What a Thursday that is. You roll into work, you grind through to lunch, maybe a little early lunch, 1130 or so, get yourself a burrito, good, get yourself something to eat, maybe whip up an Omaha steak. And then boom, you come back to the office. You sit down right at noon. Tiger T's off. He plays for the next four and a half hours. Boom.

Nothing better. You go home. You have a couple beers. You talk with the boys about it. And then Friday. So, then you do the same thing again Friday. So my expectation is this. I think he's going to finish top 10.

Okay. Because I don't think he's going to get hurt. Right? Like he'll get hurt if and when he does, which seems like everyone, I don't know. It feels like that will happen again because it always happens. I think it'll be in the sometime right before the Masters and break our hearts because he won't play in the Masters. But I think he'll be healthy at this point. I mean, there's no way you can go through all that and then boom, the first event, get hurt again.

If he did, it's like, oh, my God, someone knock on any word that you see. It's like suicide. I just heard that clip of you in the future. People are going to cut that and send that to you. If you think that Tiger getting hurt has anything to do with me, you're an idiotic, Tiger getting hurt has to do with he's a fucking band-aid and always has been and always will be. There's the truth. But I think he's, I think that this many sources, Brando coming in hot.

I think people are, I think he's playing well. I think his games on top of it. And I think he's going to finish. I mean, top 10, 8th, 9, 10th is like middle of the pack. Right. So, you know, last week he led the field, or I'm sorry, last year at the same tournament, led the field in Bogies, still finished 15th out of basically 17 people. He shot a 67 on Friday.

Let the field in birdies. I said bogeys. Shot a 67 on Friday. One of those days he shot at 67. Yeah, so he knows the courts really well. It's going to be minimal crowds because they're in the Bahamas. He's comfortable and all that. So I do think that he's going to play pretty well.

but it's also the field's not easy i believe that i don't i look there's like eight of the top 10 in the world i think we got mattyama reed burger rose j t kepka dj our guy kisner fowler kutcher and spieth so that's a fucking field average world ranking of the top 17 players at hero is 14.5 when you factor in tiger who's currently ranked 1,199th that number jumps to 80.3 i must want to make 1,199 shirts I just want to Jason Sobel tweet. I also, this is a great little stat to get you fired up for Tiger from Justin Ray, who's the golf channel statistician. He tweeted out win percentage with 54-hole lead or co-lead on the PGA tour.

Tour average for the last five seasons, 33%. Jack Nichols's closing rate, 60%. Tiger Woods is closing rate, 93%. Oh, those are the kind of stats that's what makes you want him to be able to come back. That's that type of stuff. More than anything in the world. What are your expectations, trim? My expectations is that he'll finish, sort of where he finished last year when he played the same event on the same trajectory.

Because I think he's going to get tired. Playing four rounds is tough on him nowadays because he just doesn't play all that often. So I think he might come out Thursday, Friday, probably shoot some pretty low numbers, and then finish out and just kind of maybe not even shoot par. But I think he's going to make it healthy, and that's really all that matters. But I think he finishes in the lower part of the guys. So I believe last year he finished four under, and that was like 15th out of 17 guys because one guy with Drew. I think my guess he's finished his ninth.

I think he finishes around like 7, 8 under par. I think he finishes 9th. I think the winner was 20 under par or so last year, so he might have to do a little bit better than that to get to 9th or top 10 or whatever. But that is even really that important. I mean, as long as he looks good and looks healthy, then that would be a massive win. However, he looked good and looked healthy last year, and he made the most parties in the field. and then he went basically three more rounds of golf before he had to get his back fused together. So, I don't know.

Who fucking knows. He could grimace after the first he shot and be done. He could win the tournament. I wouldn't be surprised with either one. I know. This is the thing. And these are the people that I don't like, and there are a few of them in this office that we work in who are like. They're on the list.

They are on the list. They are on the fucking list. Who just like, stop getting excited. Like, don't get excited for this. I even though I said I wasn't all in on this tiger comeback because I'm hired and I'm exhausted with it. But there is still the light inside of me where it's like, just maybe, just maybe. And I saw there was some tweet like, why can't we quit Tiger Woods?

And it's because of that. It's because there is just a small part in every single one of, even the doubters in this office and all around the world, that he could just capture a little bit of it. And it will be if it happens, the greatest sports storyline in a long long time, I believe. In a long time. It really would be. If he wins another major, if he wins the Masters, you start talking. If you dream just for a little bit, you get very, very excited about it.

I mean, imagine him fist pumping his way down the stretch in the back night of the masters. After all the bullshit, after all the haters, we're pulling up Brando clips. When Brandel said he never went again, people were pulling up all kinds of haters clips. We need that more than anything. It would be the coolest thing in the history of golf, I think, especially with modern media, social media, the craze that surrounds it. and I have I do have some inside sources Oh that have been telling me That they're hearing from the boys that played golf with Tiger

That if he can stay healthy The way that his game is right now the shape that it's in They're like I think he'll be number one ranked player in the world by the end of next year Wow that that's a scoop It's always a huge if big time It's always a huge if on the injury stamp You know what's another thing to factor in when these guys are Covering him with praise

and all this he's sitting this far. You forget, but these guys just want to play with Tiger. Like, they want to live on a PJ tour where he is playing and competing. Because it has not been that way for a very, very long time. I also, I think that it's a little naivete of them to be saying that because it shows that, like, they don't have the respect for Tiger because... I think it's the opposite. No, because I think, like, they want to fucking win majors and win all the events.

and if they really, like, they think tigers over the hill it would be great to have them back. Maybe he'd mix it up here in an event, they're in an event, how lovely would that be? We all grew up loving them. If the tiger, tiger, tiger comes back, they don't want that.

He's going to take their money. He's going to win their tournaments. He's going to take them, he's going to steal for them the chance to have Hall of Fame-type careers because he's going to be winning the majors. He's going to go on the win streaks. Nothing would make my dick harder than a post-round interview

from one of these young guys being like, hey remember what we said we wanted tiger to be around we don't feel that way anymore because he is just mopping the floor with us like win seven events in a row two majors and they're sitting there going this sucks yeah like it's supposed to be you know j t and spith battling out for their third or fourth career majors and tiger just won fucking three in a row that's what i want i want them to regret the shit out of those comments i i bet there's a part of tiger that's like i'm gonna make them regret those comments yeah and then he goes into the gym and fucking fucks up his whole body take that to the range Stop working out.

Take that to stretching the range, the fusion. Get all that going. I was going, I went back and looked at, I was looking for those pictures where he looks like a secret service guy at the President's Cup because I was going to make like a Trump secret service joke. I couldn't put it together. But I went back and he is just, he is jacked. And this was just the President's Cup. Yeah, he's a little too jacked. He's huge.

Isn't it crazy? The President's Cup when he was walking around where he might never play golf again. He's like a father-like, grandfather-like figure out on tour. Yoda. Now it's been like two months. Month and a half, and he's back? He's back? Is that real? I guess so. I guess we're now here. Yeah, because when he was walking around, yeah, the presence of come, we're like, oh, man, just like a Yoda, what a guy. It was, Yoda. So Yoda-esque. It was. And now he's playing again. It's like when Yoda fucking fights Count Duku.

All right. I don't know if I've seen that Star Wars. Yeah, people out there will get it. Star Wars folks will get it. Maybe this one might make it back. It's way back to Bob Fox. Bottom line, be excited about the tiger comeback. I know even I threw some water under the beginning, but just be excited. Just roll it, you know, go all in, fuck it. And you can tell in my brain, my brain doesn't know where I'm at. No, I'm like, he sucks, you're going to get injured, he's great, you might win this week, he might win the Grand Slam.

He probably won't even play in the Masters. It's like, I don't know where I'm at. Nobody does. But that's the excitement. That is the excitement. Watching him, we get to watch Tiger Woods play a full competitive round of golf on Thursday. Makes me smile. Let's go.

We got Frankie Borelli, the pizza maker in studio. Hello, boys. He's got his journal in hand and everything. Of course. Okay, we're going to hop right in I don't want to get into too much BS First of all, to revisit from last week The Top Biers

Top Golf Related Bears We just had a couple submissions That I thought were noteworthy That we kind of forgot Mostly Cart Girl beer I'm really mad I didn't think of car girl beer That is the biggest miss of all time

That we didn't talk about that That the one when she comes around And you need it at that exact moment And then you can kind of flirt a little bit It's the best You're out with the boys So it's a boy's day but then you got just a little interjection of some female.

It's really the best. You're pumped. You're kind of like I still got it. Like she was digging my joke. She was laughing. She got me a beer. I tipped her. She loves that I tipped her.

This beer is fucking colder than it's ever been. What's going on here? It's such a good beer. It's maybe the best beer in golf. Is there a better view than when you're looking out onto the golf course and even a sound and you just hear the motor cart coming? And you're like, what is that noise? And you kind of like, you look in the distance and there's like, it's almost like an old school movie when like they used to drive on dirt and And the person's looking outside of their window, and they see, like, oh, Papa's coming home.

And you see, like, the dirt coming around the car. I always feel like that's the view that I see of a car girl. I see the dirt around her cart. And I'm like, there it is in the distance. And it's coming. It's such a heroic moment when she turns the corner off the horizon. And you see the cart kind of like, it, like, interjects itself upon the horizon. And you're like, that's it.

That's the car girl. There she comes. Five, ten minutes later, you're drinking a beer from the car girl. Yeah, and it supplies some entertainment because you've always got the one friend who's going to try, try something. something, use a line on her. Big time. And it usually fails. So you all get to laugh at it after that.

Give her the club. Like, you want to hit one? It's like, oh, here we go. Oh, here we go. Yeah. Yeah. The other one is a hole in one beer. I've never had a hole in one.

Nope. That's for the birds. Who's hitting hole in one? Yeah. So. What assholes are out there hitting hole in one? Who's hitting hole in one? I imagine that's a great beer.

I don't fucking know. I did get one where the guy said, he's not the one who hit the hole in one, but is the unlimited beer in the clubhouse when you're drinking off someone's hole in one is another one. Probably pretty good. Yeah, I agree with that. I feel like you have to hit it on like 17. Like it has to be like a late hole in one.

I feel like if you're doing the beginning of the day, it kind of loses all that steam. Well, the other thing about an early hole in one is then you have all that pressure to shoot a good score because your score card, you're going to like keep your score card. Oh, yeah. So you don't want to be like I shot up fucking 103 with a hole in one. That's exactly why I don't hit hole in ones.

Yeah. All that pressure. Too much. Yeah. Too much. Too many obligations and all that. My dad got a hole in one on a simulator once. Does that count?

No. No. He doesn't count it either. I just want to put that out there. I had one. We didn't include this in the front of the gallery, but I was reading through them. And one guy said that him and his buddies play a game called like Mulligan and callbacks or something. And essentially each player gets one mulligan and you get one callback where you get to call back one of your opponent's shots and he has to re-hit.

And one guy got a whole-on-one and his buddy called a callback home. Oh, my goodness. So the guy was like, does that count as a whole-on-one? I was like, well, definitely for the record. But in terms of the match, like, absolutely not. Brutal. Isn't that brutal? What a psychop

Right there To do that You guys like I was celebrating On the tee And my buddy was like deadpan And was like I don't like that bitch

I don't like that guy Because that ruins The whole celebration You know what though When you're playing that game You're not gonna use it When you're not gonna use it When you're playing that game

You don't want to ruin that moment For that guy Like yeah you do You want to win the match that That's the whole reason for playing the game When you play that game You know that going back A hole in one is the main goal

Oh You're like what if you get a whole one I'm totally calling that back And then you get it's like Call back We're doing it That's the best callback you can have. You live.

If you're going to play that game, you live for that callback. When you're calling that back, you're doing the thing that you want it to do to start the game. Yeah. All right. Fine. So, anyways. That's cut throw. So we're going to get our first one.

Our first new submission. This is from James. This is kind of a, it's fall. So this is a perfect one. Everybody's kind of going through this. It's a leaf rule question. He basically says, you know, when you hit one in the tree line, you know it's right there. You know it's not out of play or anything like that.

It's just in the rough underneath some trees. And there's just, leaves everywhere and you can't find it what's the play how do you proceed this one's obviously tricky because you know if you don't find a golf ball it's technically lost ball rule you got to re-hit basically the same thing as hitting a ball fucking out of bounds i'm of the belief that you should set a rule on the t on the first tee and it should be a majority rule so you're always going to believe that your ball's there and you should just get a free drop so therefore you have to two of the other three people have to be convinced that your ball is let's call it in like a 10

10 yard by 10 yard area and be like it's here it's just under some leaves we all saw just drop one and i think you're good free drop that's how i proceed i agree yeah because i i hate to be that person when you know i saw it go here all right we all saw it land in this area and it's just not here what happened and the little animal came out and stole yeah which didn't have it it's just like we just can't find it we don't want to take 45 minutes to look for this ball timing is huge we just played yesterday yeah in riggs Played Glenn Oaks. Yep, with our boys Dave and E.J.

Yep, shout out those guys. Great guys. They are great guys. I'll sneak this in. We beat Riggs in the match. Yeah, well, it was me and my boy E. Yeah, it was like the fifth time that I played with these guys. And my fucking big, dumb roommate Lurch has been on E's team, like, twice and gotten smoke both times.

So he got cut. Frankie was called up. We played right in Frankie's backyard out of Glen Oaks. Frankie got called up and they won. So now Ben's, like, suicidal. Right. I mean, we don't have to mention that. really play that great, and E shot like a 74 and just kept sticking 50-yard putts, but we'll just say it.

He played lights out. He played absolutely lights out. I could have been in the cart just watching and playing him. We would have won, so. It was insane. He was dropping 50 footers like they were like three-foot puts. They were going in. I legitimately was just like making triple bogeys and like celebrating as if I won like the master, the master's because he was hitting these puts that were just out of control. It's a good teammate. What am I even doing here? They were so scared. There was one on 15 fucking Frankie. I'm in for par. Frankie's got like 15 feet for par and E's got like 50 feet for par and I turned to my teammate Dave and I was like I'm not even worried about Frankie's putt I'm very worried about E's putt and he made the 50 footer and then I

ended up making it after that and I'm like why couldn't you give me that Sean but then I thought about it if he doesn't make that. No shit you wouldn't even make that putt and take all the pressure off of me yeah so basically he made the 50 footer and all the pressure was gone to it's very the hole was already tied and then I just knocked mine in and I'm like oh no one even is anyone watching me like everyone was off the grade I'm like fist bumping I'm like is anyone care and everyone's like no already no it's no The circumstance had changed. But anyway, that course that we played yesterday had leaves everywhere.

Yeah. And I was thinking of our caddy Mario. He did this, like, crazy move where I haven't seen much, maybe because I don't really play with caddies much. But he took this freaking towel out. And there was like, there was leaves on the green. And this guy spanked this green. Like it was like a naughty child.

Like a kid that was out of line. Like he was hitting this thing. Like, no! Like just smacking these leaves off of the green so that you had the perfect line the hole. I've never seen someone have so much, like, he had so much drive to make those greens clean, even though he had no chance of doing it. Yeah, it's a big time catty, like, opportunity to show hustle move, too. Right. Right. Like, you don't get that many opportunities. Like, it's pretty much just, like, find the ball, give me the right yardage and, like, and, like, you'll get a good

tip and all that. But you get these rare moments where you can, like, really prove some catty hustle time. And one of them is, like, when there's fucking debris between your guy's ball and the hole, and he just, you're right he was like biting his lip passionate I mean this guy was legitimately just angry at the green that there was leaves on it and he's like I'm going to do everything in my power to fuck this leaf up and he's just like bang bang bang and he had such a good form to it won't point it's done it so many times it was like

it was like a whipping noise like whitch I'm like go Mario go you fucking give me that clean line it was tough yesterday too because we didn't establish early on enough the leaf rule so like the first time it happened to somebody on like a fifth hole or something. Yeah. It was kind of devastating because we're all like, well, you know your balls here, but like,

we haven't played that rule yet. So, and like, we ended up not playing it. We almost lost a couple of years, like, a couple times. Yeah, we got, like, really close to that. We got real close to that just that and, like, it's over. Yeah. And found him in the last second. But you're right, they were like five feet off the fairway in the rough, and they're just

million elites. So to go back to the question, I guess the answer is you got to establish a rule. And if not, I think you just got to go. I think you got to tell everybody out there just to establish the rule. It's not, again, it's a majority thing. You can't fucking blast one OB and go over there and be like, I thought we played leaf rule. Like, you can't be that guy.

But if it clearly just settled in, again, it's within a 10-foot or 10-yard, 20-yard area. Everybody agrees. Just drop a ball and keep playing. It'll make you play way faster. Yeah, that's the thing. Time is the big thing, always. Tracy has a good question. He says, what are your least favorite and most favorite course features?

So he lists a couple of good examples, actually. one of them, which is going to be similar to my, so let's do least favorite first. And his least favorite, he said, is basically any par five where you can't hit a driver off the tee. It is like his least favorite course feature in the world. What I would say is any par five where you hit a longer second shot club than you do off the tee. Okay. I think that's the dumbest thing in the world. Quick dog, like left and then you all have like 400 yards to the hole.

It's like you have 150 straight, and then you have 400 yards straight after you make the turn. Yeah, right. It's like, I just hit a seven iron, now I'm hitting a three wood. It's the biggest bullshit. It's so stupid. Like, right, if you ever go, like, four iron three wood into a par five, it's the stupidest hole in the world. That is very dumb. I like that one.

I'm like, we're angry right now. We're like, they don't have enough territories, so they made this fucking crazy slinging dog leg left or something. And it's like, you're telling me I got pooch some dumb little iron out there. It seems like a guy just got lazy. He's like, I need a par five in here. I can't squeeze it into the golf course. I'm going to put it on this one. Just like, just fuck everyone.

It's infuriating. What are you guys least favorite course features? I'll let Trent go on this one because I'm, I got to think about it a little bit. I was going to throw it to you. That's my bad. Another one the guy gave as an example was when a par three is like one of the hardest rated holes on the course. I saw you text me this and I don't think I've ever come up across that. I don't think I think I specifically asked someone, how can,

come because sometimes there's like a 240 yard par three yeah and it's like number 15 or like 16 i'm like what's going on right now i can't make a par in this hole but i can make a par on any par five because i can just hit like yeah you can make a mistake i i you want to know my least favorite thing on all golf courses is part three's i fucking hate part three i do yeah i do i do too i just i i just i general i hate part three i love i think i think i think people that wait for part three to come up are the dumbest people in the world i've always said when you on the first, when you stand on the T, every time it's a whole and one opportunity. I think that every time I walk up to a T.

I hate it. No, every, yeah. You can't make a mistake on a par three. You can't make a mistake. You hit one shot, even slightly off. You're already screwed to make a par. I can dribble a ball on a par five and still make the green in regulation. It's just something I can do because I have room.

I have strokes. I mean, at Riggs, I see what you're saying because there's a whole one and some glory involved, but I agree with Frankie. Every time someone's like, oh, we got a part three coming up. I like get anxious and nervous. You miss a green by a yard and you have to make. make a perfect chip in one pot just to make a par you can't make birdie like dude it's also you get to you get to fucking tee it up with an iron it's like you know it's just like that extra like that extra

half inch is just you tee it up perfectly you get to clip it with an iron it's great and it's like there's no like excuses right it's like this is the holds right here i have an iron in my head it's basically it's basically like you hit a great drive and you're just in the fairway i've that's been always in the counterpoint they're like just act like it's a par five and you're 162 yards out on your third shot. Yeah. It's the same thing. But it's not.

Because you're up there. You got flat line. Fucking T-box is flat. It's great. Everything you're saying makes sense. It's not a scoring hole for me. Like, I just can't do it. I always ruin my rounds on part three's.

I get a six. The other theory is that for like amateur, like pretty shitty amateur golfers, which is like everybody, is that you could string together one good swing. It's tough to string together two or three good swings that you need on like a par four or par five. Whereas you might just get lucky in a part three, boom, you're in good shape. Like tough par four, you've got to hit like a really good drive

and then you got to hit another really good shot that you have to hit on the part three anyways. I think if you're scoring well on par threes, you're playing much better than someone that's scoring well on par fives. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, I mean, typically on tour, like the hardest scoring averages are par threes and obviously par five. Because I think if you're just like,

if you're not fucking brooks, Yeah, if you're just like pinning green, if you're just like shooting darts at these greens on part 3s, I mean, you're playing very well. But I can dribble a ball, like I can hit a ball like 80% of like what I want to do off the T. I can like line one down. Now I'm like 160 yards. Like I just hit two bad shots and I maybe got out of my system. I'm still swinging and I'm still not out of the hole. It's also true that you're basically like most courses or holes that we ever play.

If you hit a good drive, you're going to be way closer than you are in most part three teams. Correct. Right, you're going to be like a wedge out or something. So I think the other thing I want to say, so favorite, my favorite course feature is any green where they have a closely moan runoff like chipping area that's below the surface of the green. Okay. Like I think those are the coolest things where you have to like, do I bump and run it? Do I put it? Do I fucking flop it?

Like I'll actively root for my ball to roll off the green. Like I know there's a sweet chipping area over there. It's a fucking sick design feature. Like, come on, like, spin right, spin right, spin right. It gets over there. I'm like, oh, what do I do? Oh, I got options now. Do I pick it clean and, like, spin it?

Do I, like, do I hit an eight iron bump and run it? Like, I think those are my favorite. I mean, it totally depends on the shot. Yeah. I think there's nothing cooler than when you can actually pull out like a seven iron or something and bump and run one. But it's, I'm very bad at it. I always hit it. I think there's an age line on people that play the bump and run game.

Is that a fact or something that I. It's a big time. Old man move. I was a big bump and run game. Why is that? that what happened there did like they invent like the sand wedge later on like what's going on here dude i think it's all marketing i think those fuckers like or did pros start using wedges like how did the old old school guys like they phil and tiger just started coming out and just fucking hitting

these shots with spin that like they just pitch up into the air one hop check and then they put all those on commercials and you're like i gotta do that yeah i got to do that's like that's just what you do now like my dad takes out like a seven iron like my dad has a seven every single time the fringe i'm like what are we doing here my dad does my dad doesn't my dad does a out of the rough. He'll just dribble and through the rough and it hits it to like five feet every time. Like what the fuck was that? It's crazy man. And like, yeah, like sometimes you're like 100 yards out and you see this guy go right into just like the hill. It's like you didn't just try and flop it onto the green like an normal person. You're making it so much more difficult on yourself. You get the perfect shot into this hill

up onto the green. Dumb. One of my least favorite things I just want to go quick is when a golf course like a superintendent or someone that's taking care of the course puts a whole like specifically on a hill on the green and like you just know that they're fucking with you and i always say like what are we on a mini golf course if i have to say the word what are we on a mini golf course when i'm walking up to the green i hate the course i hate the person that works there and i hate the person that's collecting the tickets at the gate i hate everyone about it if you're going to make me take these shots and there's no chance of me making the putt why am i going to go off there too there's one time i played there's a tea box and the fucking there's like the tea is moan over like a small like

three foot hill. Yep. In the middle of T-box. So it's like you would either put the T-markers in front of the hill or behind the hill. And clearly it was like some Greenskeeper crew member or something that works on the crew but is not a golfer because they put the T-markers on the hill. So I'm talking like you legitimately were teeing off on like a severe downhill lie on a par four. The worst. Like with your left foot like a foot below your right foot while T-in-off.

It's just like do people use their brain? It was insane. It was honestly, we didn't know what to do. We were like, is the group in front of us fucking with us? It was nuts. At that point, why can't you just like, I mean, that's like that person didn't know what they were doing when they were setting the market, so why do you have to listen to them? Why can't you just go back to where they're supposed to be? That's what we thought.

So we were like, should we move them? Like, sure we're like, we're fucking teeing off on the down. We're teed off on like a severe down hill lot. Like severe. It was the crazy thing. Our drive's got like a foot off the ground. Oh, my God. I'll tell you who would have moved him.

My dad won't. Oh, yeah. My dad pulled the most ridiculous move of all time once when we were golfing. We had the Borelli's golf out of my restaurant's golf outing. And he acts like it's his, I mean, it is his golf outing. But he acts like that golf course was made for Borelli's restaurant when we're there. And one time, like, I guess golfers, they usually move the T's up. But for some reason, like, just to make pace of play better, we have a shit ton of golfers at golfing our golfing.

So it's like way too many people. It was like three groups every hole. And so my dad was out on the course with me. And he noticed that all the T's were back. And he just, he just, like, walked all the T's all the way up to the front of the T-boxes and just, like, place them there. Like, he was, like, acting like a crazy person. Like, he, like, went up, got one, stuck it in the ground, went back. I'm like, what are you doing?

He's like, this is just what I want. It's just what I want. Just taking matters right into his own hands. He's done it before, too, like, as a joke, there's people that we knew behind us, and he's moved the T's back for them to fuck with him. You guys, this is such a Borelli move. You guys just have classic disrespect for other people. the golf world. It's crazy.

He's like, every course is like your guy's course. We knew the people behind us and we hit and he's like, watch this and he just moved the white T's all the way back to like where the blacks are supposed to be. And like they got out there like, damn. Like these are far back.

My dad's like smirking like on the golf course. Brelli's are trouble. They're trouble. Maybe I learned from my dad because he's like a little like he's a trickster on the golf course. I had a buddy one time who he took the flag. Like the flag was on the right side of the green. The holes are on the right side of the green over a bunker. And it was like.

severely soft conditions. So he took the flag out. Like, and before we, you know, put it out. And then when he put it back in, he went over to the left side of the green, right on the fringe and stuck it into the ground and in the fringe. So the, our boys behind us, legit. Yeah, look at this. Brelly is very, I was going to say, that sounds like something Frankie would do now.

You thought the fucking hole. They thought it was like 40 yards to the left outside of the green. We saw that yesterday. When we were golfing yesterday, someone, the wind must have knocked down a pin. And I'm like, imagine being that type of ass. hole that like I need that in because I'm going to make this. Yeah. It's like, dude, you know the general, you know the general area

where the hole is. Like there are people that are way bigger assholes than us that would have demanded that in because I need to know exactly where it is because that's going to affect my next 172 yards of where this ball's going to go. You're trying to hit one on like grass. But I was saying when we walk out, like imagine they put the imagine it flew all the way. We were aiming on the right side and the hole just on the left. I just fuck us so

a bit. Like you're walking up there. I said a great shot. It's like, no, dude, you're 120 yards away. I like thought that. I was actually kind of devastated when you said that. Yeah. All right. Another one we got. This one's from Edwin. This is kind of a classic.

So he told kind of the stories like, you know, I was not that into golf. I started listening to the podcast. I got a lot more into it. And I started dating this new chick. And I tell her all time about golf. I can't fucking stop talking about golf. She brings up like, oh, yeah, my dad's a huge golfer. So the dad is like a big time huge golfer.

Oh, my God. Real intimidating guy. I already have anxiety. I know. And invited this kid to play golf with him. And the kid said, I've only played, like, par three holes, par three courses and gone to the range. So I've, like, never really played 18. He keeps inviting me to play 18 holes.

Like, what do I do? Frankie is squirm up. It's just so much anxiety. There's nothing worse than golf anxiety, man. My God, that feeling he must have had when he was, like, driving to that golf course. No, he said he's never gone because he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know what to do yet. So he keeps saying, like, I do love golf.

The dad knows I love golf. I talk about golf full time. but I've never even really like played 18-1. You know what? You keep saying no until you actually play a couple rounds. You cannot go out there. So, yeah, I don't, I honestly, I don't. Yeah, you can't.

You can't. If you go out there. It makes you look like less of a man. Yep. It makes him, like, he'll be very nice to you while you're golfing. But when that round is over and he's like talking to his buddies or like, or the girl's uncles or anyone, like, it will always be known. I was like, man, he fucking sucked out there.

And you can't come back from that. No, and like, he'll be like, he didn't know what he was doing, like on the fucking green. and he's standing in people's line. That's like, that flags and it's like sticking to the ground. You're less of a person now.

The small little things are worse than chunking a bunch of shots. It's standing in somebody's line talking in their back swing. It's doing shit like that. That'll really embarrassing the dad amongst like his like friends. Right.

I don't know what the fuck he's doing. It's fucking happy Gilmore of the first team. He goes, oh, like Mr. Laffergy Daniels up. He's like, oh, good luck, buddy. Get out of the way. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Stand it right in front of him. It's like where you just don't know what's going on.

Yeah. Can you just like not be an idiot? I can see that coming out of that dad's mouth. Right. Just stop being an idiot. I'm sorry I took you here. Like, just don't ever do this again. We're just,

just whatever. Right. Like, you lag a put up to, like, three feet, and the dad's got a putt. And this guy, like, just doesn't mark his ball and just stands there. And the dad's, like, looking at him like, hey, you fucking asshole. Like, go mark your ball. Dude, I just, this guy's got to avoid. Edwin, you got avoided it.

You know, he could turn it around and be like, listen, I love the game of golf, but can you teach me? That's a great move. Wow. A little bonding. Wow. Take me to the range. like teach me and then it's like you're acting like the dad's a good golfer I want to learn from you my dad never taught me it's like a whole thing like you know what I mean you can make it

into a real see that's the way that you either avoid it or this you got to be transparent you can't go in the one thing he can't do is try to like snake it till you make it yeah because in four and half hours of golf you can't snake anything no you got to you got no you got to ask him to teach you because now I'm thinking like then when you become good or if you actually become like a he's a proud son he's the one that taught you you'll always remember Maybe he'll buy you clubs one day. It's like, hey, like, I see you're playing better. Here's a couple, like, here's a couple of hints.

Here's my old driver. Frankie hitting us with the old honesty is the best policy. That's what that was. In that situation, you just came up with. That's, that's it. That's the move. I mean, like you said, he's going to start. That's like a legitimate father somebody.

Although then, like, then, like, if he ever breaks up with the girl, then, like, he might be like boys with a dad forever. Which is a, I mean. That's fine. What if the girl's the one that's the one that's good relationship. It's like, fuck you. I'm still buddies with your dad. Yeah.

And then the next boyfriend's got a tough one because the X is like boys with a dad. Oh, man. That's like, I go back in time, act like I didn't like, know how to golf and like I just own that. I would own it. That's diabolical. Real diabolical. You're planting your seed like deep.

And it's like, even if we break up, I'm still going to be here. I'm still going to be here golfing. As long as your dad's here, I'm going to fucking be here. Oh, boy. Oh, that's nice. All right. That's from the guy. hour this week. Remember submissions

for play at barstoolsports.com. Next up, we got our girl, Danielle Kang, another recurring visitor. She's the KPMG women's LPGA, major champ. She has some controversial takes about Uber's and cabs. We jump off right off the deck.

Let's do this. We are joined once again by Danielle Kang. Hey. Major championship winner. We got her in studio, in New York City. So I had all kinds of shit we were going to start talking about, but right out of the gate, she asked, When you request an Uber or a cab, which seat do you sit in? And my answer was, back right.

I said back left. Colby, who is one of our producers helping us, says, he's my new guy, man. Shotgun, and Danielle jumps out of her seat and, like, hugs the guy. Yeah. It's, I mean, you got to sit. I've never not sat in the front seat, and I didn't know it was, like, a crazy thing to do until, you know, my agent and my best friend sitting there going, okay, D, that's kind of weird. You don't sit in the front seat.

No, it's not just weird. He's right. It's like a legit psychopathic move. Like you have a serious, you have an issue. That's like a red flag. Like his backpack was there. I just move it. I open the back seat, put it in the back seat.

I give him his sunglasses and I sit down. That's the other thing. There was stuff sitting there so you had him move it, which when there's something, when there's stuff there, that's a clear sign that the person is like, I want you to sit in the back seat and you're like, no. Do you sit there like, hey, pal, what's up? How's your family? And she's like, what does that move? That's like a friend move. Sometimes you do that.

Sometimes you do that. Sometimes I sit down. I go, you're an Uber. You should have a charger. Like, everyone asks for a charger. I'm like, whatever. I'll get my own stuff out. Does Uber, is you ever say anything?

Like, this is a weird move? What are you doing? Guess what, though? I have the best Uber rating. Out of everyone that called me a psychopath, I have the best Uber rating. All right. That's some research to back up.

What's your Uber rating? 4.84? That's high. Really good. It's like 4.63. And I always sit in the back. I think I'm in the 4-7s. Maybe you guys are all doing it wrong.

I'm not, like, arguing. I'm just telling you that it's not a weird thing to do. You just sit in the front. Let me ask you this. Do you do the same thing if you just hail like a yellow cab? I was going to sit in the front. That's what this whole discussion came up. Like we were getting a cab to come to here, to Barstool.

And I thought, my agent was going to sit in the front. And he gets in the back seat. I'm like, dude, I want to get in the front then. He's like, sit back here. Do not go to the front. I don't understand. I will say lately I've been getting when I take Uber's, I get car sick. And I tweeted it out and people are like, you should sit in the front seat

because that way you don't get like car sick anymore. Yeah. Why would you just sit in the back? Like you can't see anything. you're like getting dizzy, just sit in the front. Because I'd be like a lot of people want that separation and that like, you know, you're doing your thing. I'm back here doing my thing.

It's a little bit of privacy. We're not like hanging out. I don't distract you while you're driving. It's not like I'm just sitting on you. It's just too. It's like a friend move. It's like I sit shotgun with my buddies and like my brother, not with my cab drive.

I always sit in the front. I even know like I'll get in a cab with three people and we'll go three deep in the back. That's what we just did and I was upset about it. I will say sometimes that's too much And there is a person who's like, all right, I'll sit in the front. But they do it because they don't want to. No, I want to sit in the front.

They made me sit in the back. There's a huge too. All right. I will say back left, I'm not a big fan of either because then it's like you're going to, you ever see the Godfather? The guy's, like, going to kill it in that way. I'd be nervous if I was the driver. Never seen the Godfather, which is a very hot button issue around here these days. I'm just honestly, all I'm saying is, you know what?

You guys sit wherever you want. It's not a weird thing to sit in the front. Everyone sit wherever you want except in the front because that's a weird thing to do. It's not a weird thing to do. It's the normal. Colby, back me up. Colby, after you threw him under the bus and said, you don't count because you're from Connecticut.

No, that's not why I said he doesn't count. East Coast is why I say it. Usually, like, when I hail a cab, I don't do it, like, especially in the city. But when I'm taking Uber's, like, around my hometown. So, there does a nicer, more conversation. Because we were talking calves earlier, too. But cab. Why would you get a cab in Connecticut?

I don't. Oh, you have your own mic. We were just doing this weird mic thing. Yeah, that was kind of weird. All right. But, and then they were like, how do you pay? I'm like, I just give my credit card to the guy to do it. Yeah, because the swipe things in the back.

That's another indicator that, hey, get in the back. So you hand it to him and then he has to do the weird reach around. He already does it before I even do anything. Like, he just hands takes the credit card. Oh, man. I go, do you take cash? Like, if you don't want to get out, I see, yeah, let's give cash. Is this like, are you new to Uber?

Or is this like, you've just been doing this for a long time? We've been taking polls right now. My friend messaged me saying that, oh, the one that was on Barstville last time, yelling at her. I called her and out. Did she ever make it to the airport? Yeah, she did. She just said, you psychopath, how many Uber drivers have you been scaring for the last few years? Correct. I mean, after this podcast comes out, you're certainly going to, we'll put up a poll and people will be certainly responding.

You know what? I don't know. You don't want something. It's weird. It's just a daily normal thing to do, like brushing your teeth, just sit in the front. Okay. So we are going to have people who are going to respond to this online. I guarantee that. Let's move on. Let's talk about, so last time, last time we chatted was in July, I believe, post-victory, it was a bit of a whirlwind. It was like two days after you had won. First of all, do you remember talking to us? A little bit.

I just remember yelling at my friend, being like, I took like six fucking U-turns, dude. Where do I go? Yeah, that was good. That was like the majority of the other. And I'm like, I can't take this shit anymore. And I, like, walked out and then pulled over and then made her drive. I remember that part. Yeah, we could hear like the seatbelt dinging in the background.

As you guys are like changing seats. I took literally six U-turns. In Vegas. Yeah, we didn't know where we were going. It was a hell of an interview. People were like... I was tired, man. Parting for like two straight days.

Yeah, and you were like, yeah, I just went straight from the club to Golf Channel Morning Drive. Yeah. Because you forgot you were going to be on. Yeah, I was out of a strip club. That's going to happen. Yeah. I mean, it was one of our most well-received interviews.

People loved it. It was in Las Vegas. What are you going to do? You know, it's 4 a.m. in the morning. You got to go get some chicken tenders. Like... You're a major champ. You just show up to, you know, rhino.

I mean, it's got to do. The rhinos great. I mean, you got to do. Your buddies want to go there, you go there. You can't be the, you can't be the, like, you know, party pooper. So I got a good rhino story. I was there. When I was in Vegas, it's like 10 years ago or something when I was in college.

Went to Vegas with a bunch of buddies. And one guy was a little drunk and, shockingly. And one of the strippers was, like, laying down, like, on our stomach. And he gave her, like, a really light, like, ass tap. We all got kicked out. And as they're kicking us out, like, the PA guy goes, see you later, douchebags on, like, the PA over that. That's absolutely.

It was great. It was a great line. It was like laugh out loud funny. See you later. Dushbags. But we deserve. You guys were douchebags. My friend was a douchebag.

Oh, see? Then you guys should have gone kicked out. We did. I mean, we deserve to get kicked out. That's good. Well, we honestly, that's a funny spirm.

That's a rhino story. You know, when they were doing the whole mannequin challenge? Yep. Yeah. We saw, I'm not going to name people, but I was with a few people.

And then the next thing we know, we're like getting, you know, taking into this room. They're like, oh, we're going to do some video recording. Manicking Challenge at Rhino, and I go, we cannot be on this thing. Like, I'm not going to have just someone's, like, like, ass, like, right here and doing a manic.

No, like, no. And we had to, like, run out. And we had, there were a couple other players there, like, you know, guys. And then we're like, no, no, no, no. Oh, that would have been great. Imagine the PR for the LPGA there. Yeah, don't do that. It would have been nice.

No, it's not good. All right. So let's talk a little golf. Big year for you. Obviously, we talked about the game a little bit. What was that? was July. Is that right? Yeah, that sounds right.

I can't believe it's been that long, be honest. It feels like we talked a month ago. Yeah, because you text me random fire emojis all the time. Yeah. Why are you texting her random fire emojis? I don't get anything from Trent. I get it from him all the time. On, uh, a round.

Oh, okay. Got it. Or like, like, I see. What is it? Yeah, it's a lot of fire. She'll be like, five under 67. I got you. I'll do a screenshot of the round and like fire emojis.

I got you now. That's good. That's supportive. Thank you. And that's like networking, you know. What was that one tournament where you mess up? where you message me and then you're like, oh shit, you're like $500. And then like I doubled or something.

You're like, fuck, I fucked it up. Yeah, I did. I felt bad about that. No, it was July because it was Fourth of July last time we talked. Oh, yeah, you're right. It was Fourth of July? Yeah. So anyway, we were getting fired up for the Solheim Cup last time.

You actually delivered a little message. And then you went three and one at Solheim Cup. First of all, it was in Iowa. Is that correct? Your home state? Des Moines, yeah, that's where I'm from. I'm from Cedar Rapids. What was your first Solheim Cup like?

I mean, because you were pretty fired up. I was so fired up. It was fucking awesome. Like, honestly, every time someone asked me that, I have to be like, it's indescribable. But seriously, it's, like, fucking incredible. That's what makes this great. You can say that. I was even telling my friend yesterday, like, it's something you can't describe.

You have to be there. And, like, the vibe and everything, like, the way the people. And, of course, I love attention. So then, like, people are just screaming, and I'm just, like, riding off that shit. And I was like, let's go. And then it's just, like, a whole, I don't know, man. I love it. I can't wait for Scotland.

Like, I'm hoping you all. international crowns like that. Yeah. But I don't know if it's going to be like that. I'm sure. I mean, I think they're going to be pretty feisty. It would be pretty fired up. And you guys came in confident as hell, which was like, that's always a little nervous,

but then you delivered, I think it was, what, 16 and a half, 11 and a half? I don't know the finishing score, to be quite honest. So you played with Michelle Wee, your girl. I don't know. Do you guys feel like any added pressure going in that cocky? You guys are girls. Everything's setting up for you. Then you got to go out there and deliver.

First day, I played a legit. at first and then Michelle second and then we both won the both matches it was pretty good second match I don't know how many we won by it was best ball right yeah I think so yeah no we killed it the first day no it was good we just went out there and like wrote off the vibe and people were just there to cheer and my god it was it's it's it's honestly it was incredible how so much fun I mean how important is it now when you look at you know schedule accomplishments majors how important is just legitimately making the team like honestly at that point like you don't really give a shit if you like make the putter or not you're just there man like you can't

not not make it like even if i was going to miss they like scream it in the hole like that might that makes me calm i guess like it makes me comfortable because you're talking about pressure and cockiness and you know being so confident but then you get there and then you've got this like 50 000 people screaming USA like even if you shank it and they're so happy like what do you can you just like they're like let's fucking go i'm like okay like you just right off of it and then yeah i mean most most most people don't like that kind of pressure. It sounds like you do. Yeah, I was just saying, I feel like some people, like they get kind of scared away by that.

No, that's the best. That's the best. When you fuck up and they're still cheering, you're like, that's a great way. That's just like, no pressure, you know, they're going to clap anyways. You hit the green. I skank it on the green and they're like shouting USA. That's nice. Yeah, that's great.

And then I make like an 80-foot putt and they're like going psycho. And then I go, this is. So your putter was on fire. Yeah. He gets on fire once in a while. He? You got a name for it? No, he doesn't want a name.

Oh. But he has a gender. Yes. Are you still rock this putter? You're going to rock this guy forever? Yeah, I rock this guy forever. I love him. It's just like a, you know.

I think it's like actually I feel love for that putter. He hates me like actually maybe half the time. But like I understand because I always say like I don't like me either, probably like 90% of the time. So like I get it. You know, it's like, it's reciprocated. He hates you like is if you make a shitty stroke or something? Yeah, probably. Do you think you want to be a putter that's bashing golf balls all day and you like,

shank it all of a sudden you've been practicing for like 10 hours and you miss a two footer you like sucks no so you like feel bad for your butter yeah i feel bad i'm like just shoot you life yeah i just sit there and i go sorry man it's never his fault sorry man i fucked up no the putter's not gonna bend randomly so like i apologize to my caddy sorry man and i'm like telling my putter sorry not a good day for you today i got to treat my putter like way nicer yeah like unbelievably nicer do you like pet him and stuff no i i i don't throw my putters actually i throw my clothes but i don't my putters. I did, I was really mad in Korea and like, hit it in the ground and I'm like, oh, I feel bad. I'm like, I'm like, it wasn't your fault with driver. I'm like bashing it

in the ground. I'm like with putter. I go, sorry, buddy. I like, yeah, it's weird because I feel like like a lot of guys refer to their putters or their like nice cars or stuff as she. That's funny that you refer to your putter as. Yeah, I do. I want my putter to be, um, you know, I don't know yeah I can't win in that statement so I'm just going to move on that that's already self-explanatory I'm just not even going to I'm not even going to go there just because yeah cool moving on all right so big year this year like we said broke through Solheim cup all that what like what are we what are our goals next year how are we getting better next year what are we accomplishing next year oh man I got I got to I got to play more consistent you know like win miscut like miscut like miscut freaking top 15

miscut let's just get that shit a little more consistent yeah I definitely want to, you know, make the UL International Crown team. That would be really great to play in Korea back-to-back. It's amazing. And then being able to be in contention more. I think that's one of my biggest goals. Every time that I've been in contention and wasn't chasing the leader by 10 shots after two days, I've been up there finishing like six or seven top tens.

And those are all, I don't think it was even like seventh. It was like T4, T3 and stuff like that. So you know you can handle it. You've got to get there more. Yeah, I mean, I was really proud in Malaysia when I'm looking at the leader, and I go, you know, if you got six holes to go, you're hitting like, you know, you're putting like an asshole and it's just, you know. And then I came, no, but then during the rain delay, I was like, I actually talked to my

brother. I go, dude, I can't putt. And he's like, what do you mean? I go, I can't put, man. I haven't made a put in like 27 holes. I'm six back. Like this. And he goes, dude, it's not that hard.

The hole's not moving. Just hit the ball in the hole. I was like, you know what? He's actually right. And I go, the hole's thing still. Like, might as well just hit it in. And then I went like five eagle. Birdie, birdie, whatever, and then finishing a birdie.

That's like the Disney movie Brink. Have you ever seen that? No. His little sister just tells him to skate better, and he's like, oh, that's what I should do. Yeah. People who have seen that movie will get that reference. Brink? Brink?

Yeah. How old is that movie? Oh, boy. It's pretty old. Disney movie? Oh, yeah. Did you reminisce and watched it recently in a holiday? No, but every time that just brought that back for some reason.

Escape better. Yeah, I would have thought you would have seen it recently because a lot of times then you hold on to a reference, like waiting to drop it? No, it's pretty famous. Anybody in this room seen Brink? No? Colby says no. Or Colby says yes. Colby's just a lifesaver today.

He's good. He's good. All right, well, people will get it. Okay, so we've had a couple of discussions, random discussions, questions, questions from fans lately. One of them is, if you had to pick three clubs for a three club round of golf, what three clubs are you choosing? Driver, seven iron potter. Wow. Is that exactly the Frankie Brealey?

No. I think Frankie had a wedge in there. Yeah. But we all. Driver. Driver. I mean, like, if you hit a $2.15, you're not going to do shit. So I got to hit the driver.

If it's a three-club hole, right? Yeah. So it's a par four. What am I going to do? Hit seven iron, not carry the shit? And, like, have you ever seen a hole where to carry the fairway is, like, 180 yards? And if you can't carry 180 yards, you're never going to break. Like, you're not going to get to the fairway ever.

So I thought about that. Like, it just depends on me. I don't know. We were kind of thinking. So I said four iron, eight iron. sandwich and then I was going to putt with my sandwich I could putt with my wedge I mean no sorry I could I could chip with my putter I don't want to putt with that's what another guy said a guy said I could chip with my putter

I can't putt with my wedge that's exactly that he's like I could chip from like 40 yards out my putter and I can't skull a wedge like guys can and hit it's 180 but I can skull a seven iron it's 180 wow roll it like but then so what do you put it back in your stance and like choke up and just skull it I don't you try to shank the crap out of it it just works Just blade the shit out of it? It's going to hurt, but just blade the shit. Your hands are out. That's like we get up in the Northeast.

Oh, yeah. Every shot you hit because we never make good contact. It's really awkward, but you just have to do it sometimes. What's the worst shot you've ever hit? Um, I mean, people will usually say shanks, but I kind of like shanks once in a while because it makes you feel good. What do you do? What does that mean?

When the ball hits the hosel, it's a great fucking feeling. Like, it's just like the most. Solid feeling. Have you never, like, shanked it purely? No, I've shanked it. If you pure shank it, it feels really good. Like, not skull skanky, like, out my fingers hurt shank. This is a pure fucking shank off the hosel, like, dead right. So I think you have different shanks that I have. It's such a good feeling. Sometimes you just do it, and it's like out of your system, and then you do it again. Like, you don't do that for a while. That doesn't mean you hit it bad. That's like how I think about.

I'm like, oh, I hit it really good, just off the hosel. Just the hair. Just a little bit off the house. the left of the face like but it just feels good i go oh shit i shanked it you ever hit one of those in competition oh yeah yeah yeah shanked in san francisco i shanked one in san francisco i shanked one in uh shanked's come out randomly i think i shanked it into truth the nine ironed the other day but what do you just laugh i think it's i think it's funny my caddy knows that you know like dude that was so fucking good just really right my bad yeah it's funny when caddies go like hey like you need hit this laugh i'm like yep

There's hazard right. I go, yep. King, like hit it left. I go, okay. And he's like, and I hit it. Block it dead right. I go, sorry, fucked up. Really wanted to get on the green.

Not happening. So what's the worst reaction you've had after a shot? Me? They just blow up, something like that. What's the worst reaction? Probably hitting my bag? Like, are you fucking kidding me? And then hitting my bag.

That told you, that was my favorite. That you're a big. Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. And I'm not fucking kidding you. That's the thing. Like, are you fucking kidding me? No, I'm not fucking kidding you.

And then I hit my bag. That's the worst. because like I try I know where all the phones are like my catty's phone my phone headphones like I have to dodge it so then like when you're angry you still want to hit the bag but you can't hit the bottom of the bag because it's going to hurt your wrist or your hand so then you have to go up a little bit but if you hit it too high up and you're going to rip the bag you don't want to do that either you have to call your sponsor and be like my bag's ripped or you have to hit the side and that's where the phones are yeah so it's too strategic to be too pissed to hit the bag so it's

like the worst reaction is just to smash the bag and their phones in there and they're I've smashed this phone screen before. I have not yet. It's still yet to be done. It was a bummer because I didn't realize it until like two hours later. And then I'm in a better mood. Right. And then I'm in a shitty mood.

Like, wow, why is my phone broken? Right. What's the best shot you've ever hit? Wow. I don't know. I was actually, honestly, that three wood on KPMG was probably one of the best shots I've ever hit. Yeah, I was going to say. Honestly, that drive and that three wood was the two best shots I've ever.

Like. Especially because KPMG, you're standing in the middle of Fairway. I know exactly what you need. I swung that as hard as I fucking can. How far are you? 200 and like, I don't know, 17 or something. You just roasted it in the wind. And I'm like, I'm not hitting it that far lately.

And I go, okay, like, you're going to have to really kill this three wood. You have to carry the bunker on the right. Unless you land it right in the middle of the thing. So I just, I've never swung so hard on the drive and the three wood and, like, actually hit it on the face properly. Were you surprised? You're like, oh, baby. No, I was like, fuck yeah. I hit the drive and then I was like, okay, so first part was done because all I thought was,

if you don't hit, if you don't crush this, I have no chance of getting it on. Right. And I really don't want to, I don't feel like chipping because obviously you saw my chipping on fucking 16. It was terrible. And then I was like, I have to crush this and I got that done. And then when I got to the ball and I'm like, okay, now you have to absolutely crush the three wood. So those are the two shots like replay in my mind. What's the weirdest thing you've ever heard from someone in the gallery?

Your ass looks really good in those shorts. Really? Yeah. Where was that at? St. Andrews. Was it, do you ever, like, do you ever respond? Like, fuck you do? I can't.

I get fined. Oh, bullshit. What is that? You should just respond. People don't understand. You'd be like, this guy's being an asshole. That's another fine right there. You just said asshole.

Double fine, too. But you put it back on them. Like, this guy is saying my ass looks good. I don't know, but then then I get all riled up. I try to stay calm and I'm like if you just start going off of like are you what the fuck you just say then now you're angry And then I don't you have to calm yourself. It's a lot of war I want to see you like throwing punches in the gallery. That's what I want to say I don't know if I could throw the punches to them But I get pretty I just I just have to

You have to calm down man like I'm just like the whole are you fucking kidding me I've done that a lot Right when I get you have that little conversation with yourself You go are you fucking kidding me? No I'm not fucking kidding me. They're like oh you haven't made a pot all day try to make this one and I look at them and then I have nothing nice to say and then I go what is your reasoning of saying that to me do you want to support me is that how you support me like okay you asshole that's fine

or then I make it I go thanks buddy you know like yeah a little sarcasm chirpum no but then like obviously maybe that triggered me to make the pot I don't know you just have to like this is like Twitter in real life nobody exactly what I was thinking that's the thing I don't ever want to think that anyone is maliciously out there trying to annoy you you know no one's doing that so you can't think about like oh what's the worst thing i'm like well in my opinion that is one of

the worst things you can say like shouting it right from the fairway but then i go i mean he probably just meant it in a good way and then i like try to think of how he meant to say it but then you're already thinking about it too much probably yeah but at that point i don't care just move on you know there's a lot of shit going on out there's just a lot of i was like what oh forget it and i had a really good one hey yes what do you what do you call a flying bagel i love What do you call a flying bagel? I don't know. I don't know.

A plain bagel. Oh, boy. Danielle loves that joke. That's your big one. You should tweet that. Oh, my God. Hey, no, what does, what do clouds wear as briefs? I think I've heard this one before.

Well, obviously, you don't remember it. I don't. Thunderwear. Oh, boy. All right. We're going down this path, huh? You got any more? I have so many.

What do you? Give us one more. One more? Yeah. I'm trying to. More you guys as type. So there are these new bees. Have you heard of them?

They actually make milk instead of honey. Have you heard of them? No. Do you know what they're called? No. No. All right. Danielle Kang is just bringing the fire right now.

Oh, why couldn't the bicycle stand on its own? I don't know. he was too tired. Yes. This is great. I like that one. That might be my favorite one. That was pretty good.

Daniel can't keep it together. He's like legitimately in tears. All right. So, question. Oh, constipated Psychos calling me. Hang on one second. Who? Constipated Psycho is that's who's in your phone?

Okay. Let's do this live on the air. Put it on speaker. Hi. Put it on speaker. She's on speaker. Hi. Hey, I'm doing bar store.

right now and it's like recording I like your hair oh my god nice makeup look at her makeup so constipated psycho I think they said the constipated psycho was calling but they consipated cycle she's not so is this the girl from the car or no hey oh hey I have a question I have a question really quick before you go you are okay I make sense I have a question when you get an Uber and a taxi where do you sit you're by yourself Like, where do you sit? There we go. Yeah, normal person response.

Thank you. Is it that weird? I agree with that. I'll call you after a minute. See, agree with that. Are you done with your shoot? Goodbye. Yeah, that's a normal person reaction from Michelle Wee.

Michelle Wee giving where normal people sit in a cab and an Uber. Whatever. So if you were the LPGA commissioner, you got one move to make. What's the one move you would make? one change you would make to make. I don't know, man. I love the commissioner. He just,

he told the golf channel that his favorite moment in 2017 was me winning. I almost like cried watching that thing. Ah. And I don't cry that often. So, yeah, that was pretty. So naturally you're pretty, you're pro commissioner.

I'm pro commissioner. Commissioner does, everything that he does, I support. Everything that he's doing, he's doing it right. Good. That's nice.

That's a little, I didn't expect that. I thought you're going to like fucking go off. Maybe relax. On the commissioner? Well, maybe relax. Maybe relax the rules on,

uh, swearing on the course? Nah, If you say fuck, you should probably pay. Okay. I mean, that's just, I mean, you're saying that socially it's unacceptable to sit in the fucking front seat. Then if I'm saying fuck in front of 20 people, yeah, it's probably not socially acceptable. Are there exceptions, though?

Like if some guy comments on your ass, you'd be like, fuck you, bro. It depends how you want to handle it. Oh, my God, this guy, I was playing with Tiffany Joe. She actually just sent me a text message saying there was this dirt path on the left side of CME. Did you walk me? Okay. There's this like dirt path. It's a par five.

Okay. He was so annoying. I hope he hears this. this score guy was so annoying the whole day i was like literally just firing up just to tell him to stop saying stuff to me and then i pulled it i'm about to go in the shit like i am fucked and there's a too like i'm already playing bad i want to make a birdie i can't even get it hit it left the next thing you hear tiffany is standing right there she goes oh yeah right down the expressway you have no idea how many people like heart drop because they thought i'll

was going to lose my shit. And I go, I stood there, I go, I turned her out. And then Tiffany goes, can't just, just don't do it. Don't do it. I go, I go, hold up. And she goes, don't do it. Don't do it. And I'm like, I get there.

And then she actually texting today. Oh, yeah. Right down the expressway. Oh, my God. Just breathe. So yeah, I mean, if you cuss there, you should probably be fine. It's not very nice. Just looking at me and Trent, knowing nothing else about us,

do you think that we could beat you in a two-man scrammer? against just you. You guys can beat me in a two-man scramble? Yeah, we play two-man scramble just against you by yourself. Yeah. No, you can't beat me. Oh. Yeah, I don't think so.

Like, you guys won't have a chance. I'll be in your head so much that I'll fuck you up. That doesn't mean I won't interfere. Look, look, look, look. I think skill-wise, physical ability, there's definitely, uh, that's an obstacle. But mentally, I think we would crush you. Okay. We tripped you out of you.

I'm not even going to argue this is when you just say, yeah, you're right. Because you're so wrong. So, yeah, you're right. I mean, wow Wow, I mean I think yeah We can't hit the golf ball But we can get in your head

No problem You can't get in my head You just gave a hundred examples If people who got your head Did it actually affect me? Feels like you just said You yanked one of the shit I already yanked him in the shit

And then he said Right down the expressway And I still talking about it though No you didn't tell that so far Still birdied it That's convenient From the shit We'll have the fact check that

And then I was like Yeah dude How the expressway go driver wedge freaking three wood onto the green. All right. Danielle Kang. We really appreciate you taking the time, recurring guest. And when do you tune it up again?

I don't know. I haven't thought that far yet. Maybe in like a week and a half, two weeks. Maybe in a week and a half? I feel like you would know that. Well, I'm going to Hawaii. I got to go to Hawaii to see Michelle. Then I got to go to Cambodia.

Then I got to go to Korea. Then I come back to Vegas. Then it's Christmas. Traveling. Yeah, it's a lot of travel. Yeah. All right. We'll play well.

We're big fans and try to sit in a normal seat in an Uber. I'm sitting in the front. Try to sit in a normal seat in Uber. I'm sitting in the front. I don't care if you guys tell me it is socially unacceptable. I am sitting in the front. And guess what? My Uber rating is higher.

What is higher than anybody's in this room? I am the top rated Uber person in this room. Supposedly that's a psychopath. Hard to argue with that. Because you would think if people didn't like that, then her rating would be three. You know what I mean? Yeah.

So 4.86, get on my level and sit in the goddamn front seat. That's a psycho move. We're not going to do that. Are those your last parting messages for the listener? Yeah. Thanks, guys. All right, thank you. Thanks, Daniel.

It was Danielle Kang, one of our favorites. Next time you hear from us, it will be post-Tiger Woods. I was just thinking that. God, if you think about it, we could be anywhere with our emotions at that point. He could have won. He could have lost. He could have withdrew. He could have, I don't know, lap the field.

It could be anything. So who knows? When we launched this year podcast was the last time that he played golf. I had come home drunkenly at 2 a.m. I was eating McDonald's in my bed. And Tiger, I was watching Tiger grimace his way around Dubai, cursing him for taking the flight over there like a moron. We have come full circle.

It has been almost a damn year. Tiger is back. Like I said, the next time that you guys hear from us, we will be dissecting how it went. Hopefully it went great. Hopefully we're going nuts. We're giddy. We're jumping off the fucking walls because he just won a tournament.

Or at least just didn't get hurt. Yeah. Either one of those. It basically the same thing. Yeah, they are. I mean, unfortunately these days, they are the exact same thing. So, yeah, next week, we'll see. So let's go.

Go, Tiger. Follow us. We're going to be watching this. We're going to be commenting on this. We're going to be blogging it. We're going to be covering the shit out of it. We're not going to miss a second.
