Really lost a lot of its jam. Win Big Dick Eldrick, the 2019 Masters champion, I might add. He won the Masters. Tiger Woods won the Masters. listening to this and you've been in a coma or you have just been resurrected from the dead. I know Easter just came up, so maybe you did a little something like that. Quite topical, Frank. Yep.

Tiger Woods won the Masters. He played in the Masters. We all talked about it for years. We're like, he's going to win a goddamn major one of these times. And he just did. So that happened. He just did it. That legitimately happened.

And then afterwards, it was just like, yeah, no, I'm just going to play next in the next major championship is what I'm going to do. I tweeted out yesterday that it's, looking like there's a very good chance. He just goes Masters, PGA Championship, the Memorial, which is Jack's tournament, U.S. Open, British Open. That's just a scale. That's outrageous. It's just that's...

I mean, that's what you do when you win the Masters and you're Tiger Woods. That'd be, I give the New York Islanders, like, only played in, like, Stanley Cup finals game. Yeah. It's just like, what do you mean? That doesn't make any sense. But it's awesome. That's our guy, Tiger Woods. So it is, it's the Wells Fargo Week.

Very cool golf course I want to touch on very quickly. You know, they got the green model. they call it. I think everybody kind of hates that they do that where they call stuff the green monster or the snake pit stuff like that. They just think it's dumb. But I do think the golf course is awesome. Major championship there just two years ago with Justin Thomas, who we had on this very show. If you miss that one, go back to our January 1st episode, first episode of the entire year. We had JT on. Great interview. He won there. Very cool golf course. Rory's won there a couple times. Any course that was usually a go-te-e. to stop for Tiger Woods is just like a noticeable course I feel like and Quail Hall is one of those so it's Wells Fargo week pretty good field but Tiger's not in it so that's a little bit of a bummer a little bit of news for the four play gang uh Trent daddy and myself will be in Houston this week we're going to be there Thursday through Saturday at the Insparity Invitational it's a champions

tour event first champions tour event I've ever been to I'm excited can't wait I really can't do that I've been to one I went to the one in Des Moines and I watched John Daly drive a cart around, and while his fiance, or I suppose, wife, I can't remember what she was at the time, walked with his giant bag all around the course while he was on a cart. It was quite a performance by him. I remember you're telling us about that. Yeah, that's the only other one I've been to, so I'm very excited to go to Houston. So it's at the Woodlands Country Club in the Houston area. I've never been to Houston. I've never been to a Champions Tour event. I'm quite excited. I'm quite

excited to just soak up the scene. It is, the Champions Tour is such an interesting, interesting thing in that these guys are still just so sick. Bernard Longer is 61 years old, I think. He wins all these event. Every time I turn it on, he's up by like 11 strokes. I think Bernard Longer has won every single Champions Tour event of all time. I've never turned on the TV and there's a Champions Tour event on and he's not in the final group leaving the tournament.

Ever. He just wins all of the other. I think the rest of the champion tour just hates him. It's like, hey man, we're all kind of just like, we're tired. You know, we're not really going that hard anymore. And then you're out here just dusting us. like let us have some sort of competition this is what we want to do the other thing about bernhard longer is that he like made the cut at the masters i know he like played great at the

masters he was when i checked he was like i want to look at the leaderboard but he was he was like three or four on a bar at the masters i was like what the fuck is that bernard longer's son people in naskar people in naskar hate kyle bush for like joining all those other uh events he'll go down and do like the track series the truck series and he'll like race in lower tier events and and he'll just dust everyone. They're like, you can't keep coming here and winning. So they actually banned him. I think that may be coming for our boy Longer.

Bernard Longer made the cut of the Masters, 2019, 61 years old. Isn't that insane? Guys fucking insane. He was also one of the guys who congratulated Tiger Woods. He was waiting with that whole group of them. And it was like him, Justin Thomas, all these young guys, and Bernard Longer looked better than all of them.

I got to say, if you are a green jacket winner, like Bernard Longer, and you weren't standing out there with your green jacket on to congratulate Tiger. That's one of the great missed opportunities of all time. Nick Faldo said in real time, he goes, this will be the greatest scene in golf forever. And you have the chance to strut out there in your green fucking jacket and just be a part of that. Like, even Ian Poulter knew, like, well, Tiger hates me.

I'm a douchebag. Nobody here likes me. However, this moment's so epic. I'm just going to stand there. And Tiger's so happy, he'll give me a little, like, bro hug. Right. They're going to be showing that clip for 500 years being like, do you remember when this happened? And anybody who didn't take advantage of the opportunity to hop on camera, they're an idiot.

Especially if you have a green jacket. Right. You go get you go to the closet, grab your green jacket, just walk out there and say, way to go, Tiger, and get, like, a cool hug from Tiger in the greatest moment in the history of golf, per Nick Falda, who knows what he's talking about. So anyway, great move by our guy Bernard Longer. Now, we are going down to this tournament for several reasons. One is obviously just to experience it, to cover. We got credentials. So we're going to kind of check out the scene, see what it's all about.

We're going to be on the course all day Friday. We're going to be around, again, scoping it out, experiencing it, taking it all in. And then we're also going down because we've got some really cool interviews lined up. Now, there's a little peek behind the curtain. Showbiz, you never really tease anything or taunt anything until it's in the bag, in your pocket. Because, hint, hint, people just cancel and shit just goes wrong all the time. So you can't be like, yeah, we have this interview, and then you don't get it. We've never done that before, ever.

We never say we have an interview until we have it. Are you about to do that right now? However, what I'm going to say is we have a handful of awesome interviews planned. Yep. Who knows if they'll actually happen. They are scheduled and we are prepared for them to happen. We're going down and I think that with this show and our music and all of that, John Daly is going to be down there. He's going to be down there.

He's going to be there. We have it on schedule that we are going to interview John Daley for this podcast. Yep. We're going to shoot a video with John Daly. There's also Fuzzy Zeller down there, who is quite the character. Yeah. A little Masters champ there, no big deal. We got David Thoms, our good, close personal friend, Mr. Gary Player.

I just, I hope, I can't wait to see Mr. Gary Player. I just haven't seen him in so long. We spent a whole weekend together or a couple days together, and we became good pals, and we just haven't seen it. We legit haven't seen Mr. Gary Player since we were staying at his house at the Masters. Yep. Remember, people don't recall, we actually dropped him on. at the Champions Dinner in 2018. Yeah.

You drove down that street. When we... It's more of a lane. It's a lane. When we first arrived... We drove down that lane with a certain... There's a bunch of trees

that overhang above it. Yep. It's a pretty famous lane. What are those... Do you know... What constitutes a lane? You know what? That fucking thing is a lane.

That is a lane. That is a street. It might be the only lane that's worthy of the lane name. You know? But when we were first arrived in Augusta, to meet up with... Mr. Gary Player. We got to the house, and the person who was chaperoning us was like, please keep your voice down.

Mr. Gary Player is sleeping. We had to tiptoe around downstairs so we didn't wake him up. We were like texting each other from the same room. Yeah. I don't want to wake up Mr. Gary Player. Yeah, he needs to sleep. It was Magnolia Lane. That's what it's called.

That's the one. We drove him down Magnolia Lane. What constitutes an avenue? Like, I'll say this. Ocean Avenue, right? Yeah. There's a place. That, like, has to be an avenue.

That can't be Ocean Street, right? It was a place called Ocean Avenue. You see what he's doing. I know what you're doing. That's the song. Yeah, no, I know you're cutting. You should sit and talk with you. You'd try to bait me into a whole thing.

That was when we were 16. It felt so right. Sleeping all day, staying up on night. I'll keep going. I'll sing this whole goddamn song. Is this because you're a rock star? Is that why you're doing this? No, it's just a great song.

It is a great song. I don't know. I think you just, I don't know if it's, and, like, is an avenue different from a lane in terms of it's a geographical location. I think if I could find you there, it'd be an avenue. Say again. See, that was another joke. I kept trying to go.

Anyway, no, I don't know what the difference in a street. Street Avenue Lane. Yeah. Court. Court. I mean, court makes sense. Yeah, court makes sense. Actually, not really.

Court? I just agreed with you because you seemed confident. It doesn't make sense at all. I grew up in a court. But it's a cul-de-sac, right? Right. I think growing up in a court is... Growing up in a court is huge for, like...

Did you have, like, buddies that lived in the court as well? Oh, yeah. So you all, like, you were able to just take over the street. It was our court. We just play street hockey. Right in the middle of it. That's unbelievable. I lived on such a busy street.

I couldn't even step on the street. I once was, I was so afraid. Well, I didn't live in a busy street. I live on just a regular street, but, like, cars go through it all the time. Yeah. And I was in, like, fourth grade, my elementary schools across the street. And my mom, I probably was younger. I was, like, third grade.

And my mom would always, like, let me walk home. But then she'd make sure that for me to cross the street, she'd have to come outside and just, like, watch me do it. Yeah. And one time, she was just, like, inside. And, like, I guess, like, she had, like, company and she just, like, forgot. and I sat on the stoop across the street for like two hours and just wouldn't cross the street. You were a good kid.

I remember her just coming out, like, crying me. Like, I can't believe. Like, oh, my God. Like, I don't know what happened. It's better than her coming out and you were flattened in the street. But, I mean, a car may passers once every, like, 25 minutes. Oh, wow. I got that point.

I lived on a busy street. I actually grew up on a drive. A drive. Wow. Yeah. But then the street right next to it was a drive. A drive. A drive.

People drove on the drive. They very much did. But the street next to it was very busy And it was a car every like 30 seconds So we had to No, I wasn't on a main street But it was like a busy street for a town Are we missing any other words that are

Drive court, lane avenue street Uh I think that's about it Do you guys ever see? Boulevard Boulevard There's probably a bunch we're missing Do you guys ever see a movie Interstellar?

Yes You know how they fucking go down To do that little mission in times Like eight million times longer For the other guy You're sitting on that little like stoop forever remind me of that guy just sitting up there. Exactly.

And he's like, he's like 80 when they come back and they're like, we're so sorry. That's exactly it. I remember, and I always remember like my brain just like not understanding why I couldn't do it. And I was like, I just can't. I'm not allowed to cross the street. Imagine that fucking guy was just on that trip alone for 50 years, whatever it was. Why did you just go to sleep? For 50 years?

Yeah, they had those things. Remember they're like, how come you didn't hyper sleep? He was like, I needed to be ready. Yeah. Alert. Imagine I know when you guys are coming back. Imagine being alert from 50 years. Just an alert person on a ship.

That movie is such a mind fuck. Space is so scary. We're in space right now. It's true. We're just a rock hurtling around a giant ballfire in space, Trent. That's fucking horrifying. Trent, we are in space. This planet is spinning.

We're moving lately. We're spinning, what, 24 miles an hour. Is that what it is? Is that the dumbest thing of all time? I don't know. I would say that might be one of the dumbest things. We, no, 24 hours in the day. What are we a school zone?

No, it's 20. Has somebody to do it 24, right? You're thinking hours in a day. Yeah, we do something 24 times, right? Do we spin around? No, no. It takes us 24 hours to spin around the sun. Is that what it is?

I don't know. It takes us 24 hours to spin around the sun. Okay. You know, that's how fast the earth is going. 10,000 miles an hour. Higher. Holy fuck. I feel like I'm going to throw up.

We're going. This is how fast we're moving, right? Like, if there was just something stationary. Yeah. In our orbit, we would go by it at this speed. 67,000 miles an hour. Oh, my God. I think I'm starting to tear up.

We're fucking cruising. It's so. So, do you guys feel that how fast we're going? I'm like nauseous. All you listeners out there. I get motion sickness. To envision a giant ball of just earth and water and humanity going by you pretty fast. Like a plane goes, what, like 500 miles an hour?

67,000. This thing's going 67,000 miles out. Trent, how does I think we think we got to stop talking about it? I don't like it. I'm getting, like, I'm in an Uber. We're fucking closing. I got tears in my eyes right now. I don't know why.

I feel like we're just, this is a weird conversation that we're having. What if one day we just, like, just go off? Like, we come out of the gravity, the whole space continuum gravity little train we're right now. We'd be an absolute record ball. We'd just fucking go. 67,000 miles now. We'd be in some real trouble.

Real trouble. Just intense trouble. Yeah. Well, everyone that's listening thinks I just said the dumbest thing in the world. I know we do something with 24 hours. 30 kilometers. is a second. It's horrifying. It's really scary.

We are in space. What the fuck are we talking about? I don't know. I'm going through my... You're going to see Mr. Gary Player. So Mr. Garrett, our good, close personal friend, Mr. Gary Player is going to be down there. Paul Lorry?

If people know, he is the one when John Vandeveld collapsed. John Vandevelle. What a name? John Vandeveld. Jean Vandevelle could run for... I fucking knew when I said that. It wasn't going to get by breaking. No.

Jean Van de Velte. That's like you're showing up to some unbelievable party in the... like France. It's like, whose house are we showing up to today? Oh,

Jean van de Valle. Oh, Jean Van de Valle. The esteemed critic of food. John Van DeVelle. It's a food critic name. Jean Van de Valle shows up

to your fucking star. You're going to get a Michelin rating. Yep. Oh, yeah. He's a Michelin man. You better have your A game when he shows up to your restaurant?

You ever see the movie with Bradley Cooper? Oh, yeah. What's that fucking movie called? God. It's a French restaurant, right? Oh, yeah.

Oh, what a maniac he is in that movie. And then he gets fucked up at the end by his friend. The guy puts the spice in the food. What an asshole move. He goes, that was for the, that was for Petrie. Remember that? Oh, yeah.

That's an insane move by that guy. You guys should be shot. I'm going to find the name of this. So, Paul Lorry won the 1999, British Open at Carnusti, when Jean Van de Vandeveld collapsed and made triple on the last hole. So he's another guy that we are on the schedule to interviews. We got a handful of awesome interviews lined up. They're teasing us with a few more.

So bottom line, we're just going to be in the mix. We're going to be right in the fucking mix at the Insparity Invitational Champions Tour event, all kinds of big names. We're going to soak it all up. We're going to get some interviews. We're going to get some videos. It's going to be phenomenal. So if you're out in the Houston area, come by to the Woodlands to the Insperity Invitational event on Friday. All day will be out of the course hanging.

Folks, we have one apparel company in golf that is our favorite apparel company.

Trinidad. Do you know which company that is? Peter Malar. Peter Malar. I was cleaning out my desk today because we're moving offices. And I found a Peter Malar quarters of that I didn't know I had in one of the drawers. It was like finding a piece of gold. Did it feel like it was made of pure silk?

That's exactly what it felt like. Peter Malar. Anybody who doesn't remember, pita mila.com slash four, we get you complimentary shipping and a free hat. Now listen to me, I've been rocking Peter Mouar for seven, eight years. Once I really started to become an adult and an adult that was obsessed with golf and an adult that was obsessed with golf, who every time I would go to a golf course or go into a pro shop and try to find good gear, I always went for the Peter Milar gear. So even before we started working with Peter Milar, I had accumulated just like dozens of articles of clothing.

Oh. Which is an unbelievable thing to say. It's amazing. I remember seeing that sign when I was like, like four or five years ago, they used to like tease it, whenever they first announced it because they usually announce it like pretty in advance.

I remember them putting up the signs, like hosting the 2019 PG. I'm like, that feels, I hope I'm alive when that happens. Like, you know when you see things that are like really awesome, like when Avengers was like,

oh, Avengers is going to come out and do whatever. It's like, I hope I'm still alive for that to come out. That's how I felt with the PGA, and it's here. Your life has changed quite a bit since then. Oh, yeah. You're just near you're part of Barstool

and we're going to be out there. We're just going to be out there. Covering it. I remember saying to my friends, like, we have to try and get tickets. Now we're just going to be there. Not only are we going to be there. There's a little bit of note for everybody out there. We have our own booth, Ford Play, Barstool booth on the driving range.

That's so massive. We wouldn't scope it out while we were out there. We did a little site visit. They did a little site visit. How's the location? They said where that pink flag is, that's where your stand is going to be. Frankie. It's right prime real estate.

No joke. I'm dead serious with you. If Ian Poulter hits a classic Poulter shank on the range, it's coming right into the back of our fucking. It's going to hit you right in the temple. It'll hit you in the temple while you're doing a little bit. We're going to be there. We're going to be there just at our booth and Tiger Woods is going to be swinging right in front of this. Like right.

So we're, I would say, probably 30 yards past the teeing ground area and like two and a half feet to the right of the range area. Right? So we're, you know, if Tiger Woods were teeing off, his ball, like if he were on the far right side the range, his ball would go like, it would be 20 feet away from us going. Oh, man. Just to the left of us. Oh, man. Yeah, we're going to be there.

We have a booth. Having a booth is huge. Booths are unreal. Kissing booths? Just booths in general. Even a booth at a restaurant, like Borrellas. A booth at a restaurant, like, having a booth at one of those things that Lurch goes to in like San Francisco.

Like, having a booth is so important. Yep. No, the little conferences. Conferences. Like having booths of conferences, you have your own little, you have your little swag there, right? Like they put, we're going to have like little things of foreplay, I bet, like, sitting in our booth. Oh, our booths are branded to the fucking nine. Our booth's going to be fucking bumping.

It's going to be awesome. Our booth's going to be sick. So we're going to be at Beth page all week long. I talked to Kiz yesterday, our good pal, Kevin Kisner. He said he's going to try to eat at Borrellys every night. He said he also already booked his flight home for Friday night. That's so kids. That's incredible.

I think he was dead serious. He watched, he's like watching some of the videos that we put up on social media. He's like, yeah, I got no chance. Yeah, he just saw 15. in like your Instagram story, he's like, God damn, I'm going to book this. He calls Delta and he's like, whatever that fee is to change it. It's from Sunday to Friday change it. So, kids, we're going to have, you know, a bunch of our guys.

We're going to be, we're going to be all over that golf course, all over Bethpage State Park. We're going to be doing interviews. We're going to be mixing it up with you folks out there, the people, the fans. We've got credentials. Big shout out to the PGA of America. Reminder, you go to PGA Championship.com slash barstool. Is that right? Or is it four play?

I think it's four play. You're just shaking your head, yes. Okay, it's four play. So you go to PGA Championship.com slash for play. Get yourself some tickets. Tickets are going like wildfire. Can you say that? They're going like wildfire?

Hot cakes. Why you say it's spreading. Going like hotcakes? Selling like hot cakes. They're selling like hot cakes. People are going nuts. I actually have some unbelievable quotes. We're going to talk about this later.

PGA of America CEO, Seth W-A-U-G-H. How do you say that? W-A. Waug. Wog. Wog. I'd go Wog. Wog.

Wog. We're so tight. I love the P.J.M. America. They've been nothing but awesome to us. We should know how to pronounce the CEO's last name. I'm sure we'll get a little message about this. He said, and he quotes, Tiger's impact has been like, quote, the moon landing.

He went on to say, obviously, Tiger has an impact, sort of like the moon landing. It's not golf. It's where you were, win, kind of stuff. He said the impact immediately afterwards was extraordinary in terms of ticket sales. Now look, Beth Page is going to be one of the most rowdy experiences I think I've ever experienced. It's going to be so rowdy. And a little note on the moon landing, it's so great. It's almost not real.

Tiger Woods is masters. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't feel real. Frankie's a truther. A truth. Not totally. No, not totally. Because I did watch that new Ryan Gosling movie, the first man. And God damn, they make that thing look real.

But see, then again, like with special effects, like I thought Ryan Gosling landed on the moon after watching that. And obviously he didn't. Right. It was. That one was fake. You know that?

It was Neil Armstrong. Yeah, that was fake. Ryan Gosling hasn't been to the moon. No. Okay. Just so you know. No. Did you think, like, the movie Mars was real?

No. The Martian? The Martian, I mean. No. What a great movie. Like, wow, I gave me Matt Damon was so in character he went to Mars. I'm just saying you see these pictures online. I wonder how long it took him to get there.

And it's just, looks like they're on a set. YouTube's the worst. YouTube's awesome. You're able to go down those rabbit holes, man. If you want to type in anything, you want to type in like blank hoax, you can be turned. I was watching the Ice Worlds part of our planet. Oh, my goodness.

From Frankie Rex the other day. I got to say, Antarctica, what a place. Unbelievable place. You fucking kidding me with that place? Mountain ranges covered by ice. Like, the fucking Rocky Mountains exist down there. they're just covered by ice. Like, you can't even see them.

That's insane. Isn't that unbelievable? It's crazy. What do you think? If those things melt, you know how much water that is? It's an insane. I mean, it's affecting the globe.

Yeah. It affects, like, currents and shit. So much. It's outrageous. I, um, you think their drone work is off the charts. I was also thinking, their drone work,

high pressure drone situation. Because we were talking the other day about how when that ice, when the glacier melts, right? And they get a huge fall off of the glacier. They're like, they only have, like, 24 days cut to the budget

and they just got to watch that thing the whole time. They had this fucking drone in place for that fall. And then as it fell, the drone like rotated out in this really slow fashion showcasing like the different landscape as it was falling. And I'm thinking I've flown drones before.

If you get a little jittery with it, you got to redo the whole shot. The guy gets one chance in 24 days. One chance. That glacier breaks apart once and forever. His hands are probably freezing. Freezing. They're out there for 24 days.

Couldn't believe it. I was so. anxious like oh no is you going to get a little jerk here guy was steady as a rock it's unbelievable it was incredible crazy uh go check out the ice world's version pj championship go to pga championship dot com slash for play we're going to be there all fucking week it's going to be incredible it's going to be as comprehensive of coverage as we've done and then also pebble beach we're going to be at pebble beach all week we got credentials there as well our good close tight personal friend the usGA pebble beach probably heard of it one of the most iconic venues in the entire

I wasn't gonna say anything but yet yeah I felt I felt it I've felt it and then shout out to our international listeners I've noticed a lot of emails we're getting lately I don't really know what it is about having international listeners but it just it gives me a gigantic warm feeling in my heart every time I get I go through a lot of these emails that we get from the gallery submissions and then they'll sign off with like huge fans of your show down here in Australia And I'm just like, holy fuck. That's crazy to have international listeners.

It makes the, uh, it's an international podcast. It's not just in America. Imagine people in fucking Australia. You think they get our cultural references and stuff? We have a group of guys in Australia who are Islander fans. They're big Islander fans. How are those guys doing? We're fucking down 02 right now.

I need those guys to step that shit up. They got to be, there's their first playoffs. This is their first playoff experience. I want to hear from the guys in Australia that are, that are those bandwagon islander fans that jumped on this year. I want to hear from them. You don't need a video. Yes, watching.

There's a game tonight. Well, they're not going to hear it tonight. I want a video for game four. That's what I want. Email of 4Play at barstalsports.com or tweet it at us a video of our Australian, New York Islander fans. For anyone who doesn't know about a year ago, maybe six months ago. Yeah, it was like half a year ago, yeah.

We read an email from a crew that were like, hey, man, we're big fans down here, Australia. We don't have hockey, but you guys talk about hockey all time. And we wanted a team in the NHL. And since Frankie's a huge Islander fan, we just became huge Ireland. That's incredible. The game's like 3 a.m. over there. And I think they all just, like, go to the bar or whatever they

They call the bar in there. I feel like they call it something. The pub. They drink the fosters. You call it? Sure it's called the pub? Foster's. I bet you something even cooler than a pub.

The wall will be down by the shop. I bet you they... What is it, Trent? I'm trying to find it right now, but I think they just... I'm finding bars right now. No. Pub's a big one, man. They were...

You think it would be something cool, though? Australia was settled by, like, England, right? Didn't England, like, colonize Australia forever? And so they're... Yeah, but I know the guys there called something different, I don't even have to call it the pub. The wallabies down by the pub. We're going to go to the pub and check out some wallabies and the islanders.

They also got Scotland, Ireland, and London I've seen emails from lately about groups of people that are like, we're big fans all the way here from Ireland. Ireland, all the way from Ireland. So it's pretty sweet. I've been to the UK. I've been to London, and I've been to Scotland. Never been to Ireland. Should we go to Ireland for the British Open? Yes.

Yes. I feel like we should go to Ireland. I would love to go to Ireland. I would fucking love to go to Ireland. It looks amazing. Kiss the Blank. Chris the Blarney Stone. I don't know.

The Blarney Stone. How? That's pretty good. The Blarney. Why are you becoming 85? I don't know. I don't know. I just think of that movie.

What's that movie? Luck of the Irish. Luck of the Irish. Maybe the best Disney movie of all time. It is. Luck of the Irish. The luck of the Irish. That was pretty good.

Yeah. I'm picturing the guy in my head. The little old guy. Unbelievable. They play that sport in the beginning. What's that fucking Irish sport? No. Oh.

It's crazy. Hurling? Hurling. Hurling. For anyone, it doesn't know what hurling is. Oh, man. Go watch some fucking YouTube videos on hurling. It is one of the most outrageous sports in the world.

Is that why they just throw trees? No, they use these fucking hard balls. The hell sport are you thinking about it? The hell are you talking about? The one where they throw trees? There's one where they... I don't know what they do in Iowa, Trent, but they're not throwing trees in hurling. I'm going to look it up.

Are you thinking of a lumberjack? Is what just a tree? Is what Trent did as he grew up? He just threw trees around. It's not a sport. Trent just walked home. The back, he just tossed a couple of trees around. I'm like, that.

Cool play that sport there, Trent. All right. Trent, you're at five. That's five trees. Throw that tree over there and you're going to get two points. It's called cabre tossing. I mean, they just don't play that. Oh, Trent, roll that tree down that hill.

That's a ten-pointer. Way to go, Trent. Caber tossing article, why hurling trees is the most delicate strength sport. So you kind of combined hurling and the tree thing. Hurling is off the charts. Anyway, real quick, you have this huge fucking club and you just smack. this ball. It's basically like, I would assume it's like a combination of like field hockey,

lacrosse and rugby. That's how I would describe it. Okay. And they just smacked the shit out of each other. They dropped these balls and hit them with this rock hard club and you can get your eye knocked out and your head. It's crazy. So all of our Boston listeners they had a hurling like maybe three, four, five years ago.

I think at Fenway, they had a hurling match. Oh. From a couple of these Euro teams came over and had a hurling match. It was unbelievable. They called the fastest. this game on grass. It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe watching it. It was awesome.

Yeah, we should go to Ireland. So we should go to Ireland. And then we have a note from Lurch. Lurch can't do the podcast today. Here we go. But I always ask him whenever he can't do it, would you like to submit a comment? A speech.

He said, Lurch has a job, so midday recording makes it tough. However, and he's speaking in a third person. Yeah, this is a strange note. He is with us in his Lurchy spirit. Also, he wanted to get a note out that he missed the last episode going on golf trips. He said, going, it's very simple, you go to, you have to. He said, met some Albany boys at Bethpage last weekend, specifically Matt, pronounced

as Brat, which is his last name like Bratworth. His loser buddy, Nick, he said, didn't go due to weather or some horrible other excuse. So essentially, he would like to take this opportunity to shame Nick for not joining the Bethpage situation. Turns out Nick is also a big fan of Foreplay, and so he was double-bubmed because he missed out on meeting and hanging out with the boys. And the long lesson learned here is that anytime your boys are doing a golf trip, you don't fucking bail out because of the weather, because of anything.

The weather. You go. Yeah. The weather. What does it even mean the weather? Unless it's going to be a fucking tornado. The weather was perfect. What is rain anyways?

Who cares? Even umbrella. You get rain? You ever heard of Footjoy, rain gear? Oh. Yeah. And it makes the trip more notable. Like, remember that time we went and it was pouring rain and we played Bethpage Black

and we had a blast? Yeah. And then Nick did it. come because he's a loser. One of my most memorable golf experiences of all time. We played this, I say it's memorable, but I can't remember the goddamn golf course. We played some, like, Muni golf course in Denver, Colorado. And it was, like, a weird time of the year where, like, one day, because Colorado weather's

absurd. One day it could be 60, and the next day could be 10. It's, like, crazy. I never seen anything like it. And one of these days, it was, like, we brought our golf clubs out there with my girlfriend, her entire family, boys trip, like, eight guys going to this fucking golf course. The place will close. was we walk into the freaking, it's like 25 degrees.

We walk into the golf pro shop. And they're like, hey, we're going about to close the golf course. But if you guys, I know you guys came from New York. If you want to play, you can play. We said, we're playing. Couldn't even get the teased in the ground. I literally had my driver head covers on my hands, and I was swinging with them because my fingers felt like they were going to fall off.

But it was the funniest, most fun round we've ever had. Like, whenever someone finally hit it through the wind, we went fucking nuts. Like, if a ball went 100 yards, we were going crazy. Yep. And I always remember, like, her dad came in and we're all just, like, completely soaking. He's like, God damn, I got to go piss. And I'm going to have to sit down. Like, we were just like, oh, like going crazy.

It was so cold. You got to go. I mean, you can't miss because of weather. That's just an unacceptable excuse. So, Nick, we're shaming you on this podcast. Shame. Don't ever do that ever again. Horrific mistake.

Another quick headline. Then we've got to touch on Tiger, Molanari, and Kefka paired together at the PJ Championship at Bethpage. hilarious that they're just running that back. I know it's tradition for them to do the last three major champions because the PGA is usually the last major of the year, so they take the three previous from the year. So they've taken the last three major champs and put them together. But Tiger Molanari, sort of round three with them.

They were in the same group, the final group, at the British Open when Molinari won at Karno Nisti. Karnoisti? Karnoista. Karnoista. Kornusti. Kornista. in 2018 and then they were of course in the final group together i don't know if you guys

caught it at the master's tournament this past april where mullinari collapsed the mac nine tiger should wear his green jacket that's so solid he has to go mock necks right everybody's been asking this have to um i think he uses the mock next like i don't know uh i don't know man i feel like the mock necks are like augusta that's like you just leave it there you leave in your locker i don't know it doesn't feel right to do it beth page i have noticed he's been doing his interviews since in his red mock neck turtle I won't hate it

I won't hate it but I just something about it's like maybe he just leaves it in his Augusta locker and then he just wins every single year for the rest of his life I don't I'm not out on that I think that's not a bad theory however I just think at this point when you won the fucking masters after

just go with what works after 11 years your first major in 11 years you're going to come out at Bethpage Black your first tournament since and just have a totally different style you have a collar He can't have a collar. Like every other Joe Schmoe in the tournament. Let's ride this wave. Let's just ride it.

Looking Bill Smith, the PGA professional from North Carolina, is going to have the same shirt on Tiger's going to have? Come on. Can't have that. Mock neck. So I noticed on golf TV, which is Tiger's little, like, North Korea media thing that he does now. It's the weirdest videos. He does all the interviews with that girl.

They're actually, they're great. I mean, she's good, and they do great interviews and stuff. but it's just interesting that, like, he just doesn't do other media now. And he's like, does that. It's hilarious. Obviously, he did a lot more media since he won the master one now. However, I did notice in the golf TV interview, then they were like, yeah, it's been like a week and a half now. How's it?

And he's just sitting there in the exact same outfit that he won the Masters. He's in his mock, redneck, green jacket, black, everything else. And I was like, he's usually going to wear that, like, all the time now? That'd be unbelievable. It's like, yeah, it's like partying with the Stanley Cup, but he's just got his green jacket. jacket and his red shirt and he's just not taking it off until maybe the next masters i don't know right like i'm stunned when he walked into his restaurant that night that he wasn't just in the same exact outfit it would have been all all all time that's just his trent

uniform now it's a great idea really it slims down it it streamlines your day if you wear the same thing every single day so tiger mullinari brooks kept compared together the pGA championship at betpig right talked about that pgia championship dot com slash four plate get you tickets i kind of like that too just get the mullinari magic out of the way early right like i don't like get and pair with Molinari towards the end of the weekend. No. Let's just bury him while you can. Let him have his jitters.

Let him just fall apart off the front. Let Kepka think that he has like a camp and all the stuff and just let Tiger just like weather the storm and then match up with other people on the weekend. That's all we need. I don't want to see Molinar on Saturday and Sunday. I want to see him on Thursday. Fine. I can handle him on Thursday.

What do you think Tiger hits off the first tee at that page? So last time I saw him there in person, he was paired up with Rory Macquarie. Rory went first, absolutely bombed one with the driver off one over the trees. went like, I'm not even kidding, 20 yards in front of the green. This is when they had the PGA tour of it there? Yes. Like the Barclays or whatever? It was.

And Tiger went second. And I remember me and all my friends were standing kind of where Rory hit it, and we all went to our right. So more like where like the dog lay right turns. We're like, I guarantee you that Tiger tries to do exactly what Rory just did. And he just like kind of pulls it a little bit. Like there's no easy to be able to cut it, 300 yards like Rory just did. And I swear to God, he hit it dead straight at us.

Everyone's saying four and it just went right in front of us. That was the time that I had my phone ready. and I was recording maybe the best moment in my life Tiger walked over to us said are you okay I said no and everyone was like well no he's okay I was like joking I was like no I got hurt and he's like are you okay and I said yes and then he took a swing hit an amazing shot to five feet I thought I had the video but I hit picture picture yep I not record stop record stuff I just had picture picture and it was on like my iPhone like one so I don't even have those pictures one of the great fuck ups of your life oh yeah that's huge I remember my heart beating like oh my

God, I am recording Jesus hitting a golf ball in front of me. He just didn't get it. I think if the rough is as vicious as they want it to be, he's got to hit two iron, right? Yeah, just a stinger. The stinger's so nice with that elevation. Oh, my goodness.

Just ripping a little stinger cut out there. Because he'll probably just play the left side, right? Just a stinger up the left side. It went out there to 50. You know Keppler's going to drill a bomb. Yeah, that guy's a freak. Oh. All right, let's get into From the Gallery.

It just says many people. Usually there's one name. It says many people. Yeah, usually put the name. This one, I just wrote many people. Have a gripe with us saying Beth Page Black is the best deal in all of golf, and they keep pointing out Tori Pines. Tori Pines, of course, in the San Diego area.

It's on the cliffs there. I guess it's like 60 or 70 or 80 bucks for residents, which is very similar to the price of Bethpage Black. A couple things on that front. Number one, never been to Tori Pines. Right, we're just off our own experience. Never been to San Diego, never been to L.A. Never really been to Southern California, ever. So I don't know.

You know, I can't go off of that experience. Yes, the cliffs, the views, and it is a major championship. Jim course there's no doubt however I also believe in the golf architecture golf course design world and all that people think Torrey pines pretty much is like the worst use of land of all time for golf and they view beth page black is like one of the greatest uses of land of all time um now again there's some beautiful gorgeous really awesome holes at beth pay at uh tory pines just play the video game from watching tiger woods win there 800 times and all that stuff and we're not golf course architecture snobs here we didn't even really know one of

that much about it at all outside of when we had David McLeigh kid and Gilhance on the show. Yep. But I do think that factors in. I think that Bethpage Black, just going objectively off of what I know, is a better golf course than Torrey Pines. Yeah, and I've always been the one to say that, like, you can find better golf courses than the Bethpage Black. I mean, you know, with just views, right?

For me, like, views don't go, like, against the golf course. Like, obviously, you're not looking at the Pacific Ocean when you're pulling. playing the Bethpage Black. Like, and if you just put any municipal golf course, like, on the water, like, I can play, like, I can play, like, just a public course, like, out east or something on Long Island, and I'll have, like, the Long Island Sound and, like, the Atlantic Ocean. Like, that to me is, like, really cool. Like, holy shit.

Like, I'm on a fucking water golf course. This place is awesome. But, like, also, it's not, like, breathtaking when you're on the fairway and, like, how well it's manicured and the greens are perfect and the bunker's perfect. Like, Bethpage is a perfect golf course. Like, everything around it is just normal, right? You're just looking at trees. You're looking at, like, houses.

But, like, the actual golf course can't be beat when you're talking about, like, the way it's produced and how perfect it is. And the whole experience and walk up to the first tee. All that stuff is perfect. So I try and I try and separate the two. Like, there's, like, there's views and there's golf courses. And it is true, right, that they, they're both related and you have to separate them at times, right? Like, we're not above being, like, views make golf courses better. A hundred percent.

Totally. They just do it. Like, what's a golf course with the thumbprint hole that you always mean? Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow. That's arguably like a more beautiful golf course than Beth Page Black. Definitely. But there's no one would ever make the argument that Beth Page Black is not, that Sleepy Hollow is better than.

Right. Like, very few people, whatever. Right. And so it does, it gets a little tricky. I will say, like, part of it almost Beth Page Black even gets more credit because without having views, being a parkland course and all that, you stand on several T's and your breath is taken away. Yes. Like when you stand, when you. walk on to the third green, which is that part three, and then you walk to the, like, down the green,

and you set your bag down, and you look behind you, and you see that fourth hole, which is the epic par five, like three tiers to it, unbelievable, Tilly has bunkering, and you see that hole for the first time, it takes your breath away. 100%. You're like, holy fuck, what is that? We said it looked like the pin was... Different state. In a different state.

It's crazy. It was so far away when we walked up on it. Yep. It's an unbelievable hole, but... Boy, is that flag so far away. It's so far. Because you could see it from the T-box. Yeah. But it's just sort of a little-

Very rare, a hole with such characteristics and such, you know, like, gyration of height. Is that the word I'm looking for? Undulations? Undulation. What's jiration? It's like variety, I think. Diration is like movement. When I'm doing it.

I'm doing it. Undulation of height and stuff. Like, you would assume you can't see the pin from the T-box, but you can see this fucking thing from every angle of that hole. And it's never getting closer. No, it's spectacular. I would say the sixth hole when you walk over the fairway and you, like, you turn a little bit left and you see that approach shot on the sixth hole. The way that green's perched up with all the bunkering around it is breathtaking the eighth hole, which is the part three, over the water, kind of sunk it in between these giant hills, is magical.

It feels majestic. It is majestic. And then several holes on the back side have that as well. I think the short par 3 14th hole is gorgeous. It's an incredible use of land. There's like a huge ravine between the T-box and the green. It's only like 150, 160, 170, something like that. Gorgeous hole, like the bunkering, the front bunkers, the deepest bunker, I think, in the galaxy.

I mean, it's just, like, unreal how deep it is. Green Complex is awesome. And then 15, even for being such a bear, is you look and you, like, see that green way, elevated with the intimidating bunkering way off in the distance. Kind of like it does a little bit of a dog leg left up into the trees right at the end and it kind of just looks majestic.

So, and then 18. 16, 17, 18 is one of the best. They're just 16, 17, 18, are all incredible. 18 is actually ridiculous. The stadium around the 17th, part three is ridiculous. It's ridiculous. As good as it gets.

And then 18 is heartbreaking. The tee shot for me. 18 is outrageous. And for them to have that at a parkland golf course is, again, why I think is just it's just the best golf course in the country that you can play for like under 100 bucks. It's just, it's as good as it gets. I obviously see an argument for Tori Pines in the conversation.

There's no doubt about it. And if you're one who values and you like the architecture of Tori Pines and you value kind of those views above, you know, other stuff, totally understand. If you're a huge ocean person, you're probably going to be obsessed with Tori Pines over Beth Page. I'll be interested to see when we're out there asking some of the pros, like, what they think is the best deal in all of golf or the amateur golfer. And if they think Beth Page ranks up, because these guys have played everywhere. Yeah, that's true. So that's a little bit of a weighing in. I don't really know what else could be in the conversation, you know, outside of destinations, right?

Like when you go to Band and Dunes, like, those courses aren't that expensive once you're there, a couple hundred bucks or something like that. You might be able to play it for under 200 certain times a year. And the courses at Band then they've got five of them, if you count the Part Three course, of building another one now are off the charts just in the cliffs and stuff like that. But I think like somewhere close to a large city that you can just, the public can just go play and play for a ridiculously cheap amount of money. I think those two are probably stand out as some of the better deals in all of golf. Look, nothing hits the spot like an alcoholic beverage or two, a libation, as our good friend Tiger Woods calls it.

Yes, he does. A libation or two to unwind after work or to celebrate with friends. Let's be honest, once you hit the age of 25 to 30, I may be 32, who knows? Even moderate, responsible drinking can leave you feeling less than 100% the next day. By less than 100% the next day, they mean just terrible like you got hit by a bus, a New York City bus. Yep. The next day, Cheers offers a solution to this universal problem like an anti-acid for alcohol. Cheers neutralizes alcohol's negative effects, so you wake up feeling great after a night of drinking.

Cheers is the product for responsible drinking and responsible drinkers. Cheers exists to bring people together by promoting fun, responsible, and health-conscious alcohol consumption. We love this stuff. Everybody's tried different things, this, that, tricks. What can you get away with? What can't you get away with? Nope. Cheers is the best.

So the only one that I've tried that actually truly works. You have a couple drinks, maybe two, three drinks. You're feeling a little weird. You take it before you go to bed. You take it before you go to sleep and you wake up, you feel, what, 30% better than you did than you would? It really is, it's almost like magic. And to use cheers, you simply take two to four capsules after your last alcoholic beverage or before you go to bed. If you don't wake up feeling at least 50% better the next day, don't sell yourself shorts.

It was low. I gave a low number. You're going to get to 50. Great. If you don't wake up feeling at least 50% better the next day, you will get your money back. Love that. Guaranteed. What a great policy that is.

You either have to hit a drive. driver onto the fairway at number one at Augusta or hit a ball onto the green on number 17 at Sawgrass which one do you choose I'm much more confident in hitting the driver onto the fairway at one at Augusta because we have tried we've been in sawgrass we went down there and I tried 10 times I couldn't get it on the green at at 17 that's correct so after how many times

probably 10 maybe more did you come close no did you hit the green it rolled off maybe once oh man it was tough you know how how far is it uh we're From when we played it, 130, maybe 140, something like that. Tough. You know how at sawgrass, there's the island green, and then there's that other little island of flowers. You know what I'm talking about? They got a tree in the flowers. Trent hit one into the tree of flowers.

It's probably still there. Most likely. That ball's probably still there. I bet it is. Somebody goes and manicures those flowers, though, right? True. I think they take a little rowboat out there. I think they, uh...

Oh, man. I don't know. How deep you think that water is? Two feet. I picture someone scuba diving in there, like picking up the balls and shit. Yeah, I think they do that, but like, they don't scuba dive to fix the flowers. I picture, I picture them scuba diving. Maybe you put some.

Maybe they put waiters on, like, fishing when they just walk out there. Maybe. I don't know how deep it is. I don't know. He's pretty shallow. Let tiger out there just walk on the water. Nice. Because he's Jesus.

Yeah. It's your second, third Jesus tiger reference. I know. You did the Easter thing earlier. It's a little weird. It is strange. You know, you know what's a little religious. religious mood?

No, and then we're talking about, like, the world spinning and stuff. Oh, yeah, that was... You know, I got to tell you, this fucking facial hair started to become a real problem. Like, it's starting to go into my mouth. Yeah, I was saying that the other day with my beard. It's really bad. I did trim my beard lately. You can't even trim the beard, though, or like the mustache?

No, you can't stop it from going to your mouth because that's just, like, normal... You can do that. You're just so... Not allowed. Unequipped. Oh, that's true. That's good point. I had a guy come up to me at the Footjoy event, and he said, your facial is not as bad as I

thought it was going to be. and I was like, thank you. I think about my face with her a lot. And then he realized it was Frank. He realized he was talking about Frankie and not me. I was like, you don't know what all of us look like. And he said to me, he said, I don't go on YouTube. Okay.

He said, I don't go on YouTube. That is really interesting. I don't know what that. He just doesn't know what we look like. Does he think we only exist on YouTube? I don't know. I said, you listen to the podcast, but you don't know what we look like. And look me dead in the face.

And he said, I don't go on YouTube. I was like, okay. No, I don't go on YouTube. Oh, shit. You got it, bro. Yeah, he's like, your facial is not as bad as I thought. And I was like, that's awesome. I love, because I hate my facial hair.

And I'm always thinking about it. Because I can't grow a beard. You're always thinking about it. Every time I, people in this office can grow beards and I can't grow one. And I have. You have a beer. No, this is a, what do you, a goatee? Is that what you call it?

I can't grow a version. Big beard, which I'm very jealous of. So you have an overgrown goatee. Correct. It's not a beard. It's not a goate. You have the goate that you can pick very easily on most video games when you're creating a player.

Correct. Yeah. You have the goatee for, like, NBA creative player. It's the one you can pick, but nobody picks. Yeah. It's usually, like, the fourth option. And you have the color, too. It's like that dirty blonde.

Yeah. It's like it'll show you dark brown, light brown, blonde, dirty blonde. It's an issue. No, it's not bad. It's an option. There's no option for my face. Well, actually, it is. It's like preset one.

That's always like everyone's go-to joke. Your face is like the generic wee character when you turn on the game. and it asks you to change your face and you're like, no thanks. I just want to be like Frankie. This thing is keeping him up at night. You can tell. The face stuff?

You get the things people say to him about it, the fact that it's still on his face. Yeah, real shame. People just start tweeting mean things to you about his face. Today we had a guest for pizza reviews and I was like talking to the handler outside and Dave was in there with the guest and she's looking at me and I like I literally had to stop the conversation. I'm like, I understand what's going.

I've done this to many people. I'm like, I understand what you're looking at. And I do not think I look. good with this it's just because the islanders are in the playoffs she's like well she didn't get it she's like what like what do you mean the islanders i'm like it's a whole long story yeah i just can't shape that's tough she called me patches ohooland that guy she called you what patch is a hooland from dodgeball yeah but yeah you had that one your back pocket didn't you so yeah that guy to that guy out there you was complimented my facial hair but if you want to go

on youtube and check us out you can it is interesting to think it's true we have our youtube channel i think we had a couple thousand subscribers now even though we've done no marketing for that's on us hand up that's on us change that also a lot of people asking if we do video versions of

our podcasts we do we're going to start putting those up there as well whenever we can I think that there's a we're having a conversation about do we want to put all of our video podcasts

behind gold right there's a high demand for it and people do that and people do that other podcasts do that there's a if there's demand for us to put our video podcasts out there which sounds like there are. They will probably put the full versions of those behind gold.

We'll obviously just put out the clips and whatnot. But it is interesting to think about people that don't know what we look like. They just listen to us. Yeah, that guy had no idea. The percentage of our listeners you think don't know what we look at. I think that happens to me a lot because I have a dumb Italian, like New York way of speaking. And then I also do the pizza reviews. And everyone thinks I'm going to be like this like glumpy.

Like I'm Glennie. Like I think I'm Glennie. No shot to Glennie, but there's a shot. There's a shot. Yeah. A ricochet shot at Glennie. But that's like... And you're a Long Island brethren.

You picture like Frank Borelli... Nothing but nice to you. Oh yeah, he's great. He's a Ranger fan, but... That's true. I like that's where you're like... Well, he's a good guy, but like... Yeah, but not really.

He's a Ranger fan. Yeah, I mean, you picture Frankie Borelli from Long Island and like, you hear the way I speak. You probably think... You probably don't think that I look like an Irish twig. What percent do you think? I've got 20% in my head. I was going to say 20. Exactly what I was going to say.

20% of our listeners don't know what we look like. Yeah, I think that's pretty fair. It's strange. You'd have to not be on Twitter, not be on Instagram, not be on YouTube. You have to not know what Barstle is almost. Yeah, you just stumbled upon this golf podcast. You really like it, and you have no fucking idea of what we sound like. Yeah.

You know what we sound like. Well, to anyone that doesn't, right now, is a little homework assignment, is just go search it. Go to Foreplay Golf podcast. Foreplay Golf. What is it on YouTube? Foreplay Golf on YouTube. Go search us. out all of our videos are on there and we got three hot new ones coming out in the next two weeks

from beth page black our weekend the blackout weekend that we had with foot joy great company cool rain jackets we got cool shoes we got uh the answer to this is the first tee fairway fairway i just hit low missile out there yeah i mean the fairway is the biggest fairway on the planet huge fairway it gets obviously tighter up near that bunker whatnot i don't even know if i could reach that bunker no i would i mean there's so much room on that first tee i would just tee it up nice and high and i would just be like frankie you have all that room on the left like just drill this thing out into the open and let it come down left to right that would be my dream for a shot on one i always wonder on one if i could legitimately reach that

bunker right because like ricky follower hits it into that bunker so you tell me and it goes a little uphill right so it's yeah i don't think well there's no chance i'm reaching that i'll probably hit it like 250 260 that would be my dream shot that's what i'm thinking like i hit one two 260 down the fairway on one at no chance we're hitting hitting the green and two at a gut now i'm 180 out 190 you kidding me it's a duck hook four iron yeah triple no for me it's if i have one 90 we have a little thing you hear my voice there kind of like got nasally there it's that time of the year too yeah a little you a little nasal post nasal drip allergy guy no it's just i'm getting sick you feel that frank well now you're forcing yourself no no i had to go you talk yourself

i had to go no i was having a fit that's why i said do you see what's going on right now so i wasn't mentally sick i wouldn't have said it had i not felt a fit coming on i felt a little nose fit. Number two is if I have a 190 shot on the first hole at Augusta, I'm taking out a 5 iron or a 4 iron, and I am trying to hit it as hard as I can. I am literally hitting it three yards.

Because I do that with my long irons. I literally just miss the ball. You top it? I top it. Yeah, straight into the ground. Only with my 4 and my 5. All the time. My new thing, how about this? I don't know if anybody else out there has ever had this or can help me with this, but my last four Greenside Bunker shots, I've just

bullied him over the green. You hit... So... An unbelievably bad shot on 17 at the black. So that was my fourth last... Holy shit. I've hit three more green side bunger shot since. I played nine holes.

I can't... I can't hit the sand. Oh, man. I'm just... I'm skull fucking... Holy shit. All my other chips are great around the grass, no problem. I literally...

That one I hit on 17... Dude, Trent... I don't know if you... Trent was like... You were in the Sahara... As we explained, I was... enjoying the terrain Trent was in the terrain

At that point I remember Jake fucking guy was doubled over laughing at what Trent was doing Trent was holding his bag in six foot high fescue

Because 17 is like 17 is very much lush Yeah 17's fescue is in I came up short on 17 You did And there is some serious Fescue down there

He was taking hat Jake is look at this Look this motherfucker He can't stop laughing Is doubled over laughing And I remember looking at Trent Like Trent's just in there And you see his head

pop up once in a while and you see a, you see a hack, then his head pops up again, you see another hack, and I'm like, all right, just leave Trey for a second. Riggs is in the bunker, and I was on the green already because I hit one fucking flush. You had an incredible shot of anybody here all day, I think. I mean, the video is insane. If you watch this video on Riggs's Instagram story, it I, my, the T, which I've never seen when hitting a four iron, the T, the T comes flying out of the ground and goes straight, like I was hitting a driver.

It was nuts, dude. I got to show you this when we're off there. I mean, I hit 190 yard four iron to like seven feet, eight feet. It was a nice drop into the way and it was unreal. Anyway, I'm on the green, no big deal. And Riggs is in the fucking bunker. And that's no big deal either. Riggs is a great short-kinned player.

I'm like, no problem. I've been hitting good bunker shots a little backstop. All of a sudden, this ball comes buzzing by our heads. And when I say you hit this ball, you had to hit it, what, 10 yards? You must, you're trying to hit it 10 yards. You hit this thing, no joke. 60 yards? Yeah, maybe 7.

75 yards. It was over the grandstands, like the stadium scene, he went over it. It went over the grandstands. It was nuts. When he made contact, I went, holy fuck. And it just flew. Not to mention you hit one of the best recovery shots. I was going to say the shot after that was incredible.

Unreal. You walk away with a bogey there? I had like a 10-footer for bogey. Oh, we'll leave that for the video. We'll save it for the video. I did. So I've got this thing. I can't sleep now thinking about it.

My last four bunker shots. And, yeah, like I said, I'm pretty, I understand the technique. I'm usually pretty good out of the green side bunkers, like two inches behind it, play it like there's a Bower bill on the ground, scoop that or splash that sand out, no problem. I think about that. I'm like, all right, this is just a weird thing. You're over it.

Blade, skull, fuck. Man, welcome to the fucking club. Every time. It's insane. Isn't it horrifying? We got fucking paired up with these two guys, me and my buddy at, um, at Skyway, over in Jersey, and they're both stooleys and fans of podcasts and whatnot. And I hit it in a greenside bunker.

twice we're playing with them. Skull, they must think on the worst fucking bunker play on the planet. My last four-in-rudge can't hit a bunker shot. Damn. That's devastating. So I would also, I'm going to do Fairway at Augustine National. I've tried to hit that green at 17. I'm one for two.

I hit one in the water and we played 17 at Sawgrass. It was a backpin. I landed it right next to the flag with a pitching wedge. One hopped into the water. My next one, I hit in the middle of the green and two putter for double. It's a hard green to hit. Fulton and Rourke. This is the stuff.

that when it was sent to us at the office. People freaked out. Office manager, Brett, who takes himself, his fragrance, his grooming, all of that impossibly, seriously. Hey, hey, hey, guys, would you get Fulton and Rourke? Love that stuff. You guys familiar with that stuff?

That stuff's the best. Let's tee up. You want me to tee that up, tell you all about teeing that stuff up? It is fantastic. Turns out, there's nobody that knows this stuff better, and he was right, because Fulton and Rourke, they are awesome.

The main thing you need to know, their brand, the new Cologne sampler. They actually sent us a few, like we mentioned. And look, it's more, it's subtle. It's subtle. The sense, the smells, the Cologne, wherever you want to call it. It's very subtle. It goes on you perfectly so that you kind of have to give like a second glance,

a second check of like, Yeah. Do I think Rick smells as good as he smells? People don't smell you coming from 40 feet away. It's just sort of when you walk by and people are like, ooh, that was pleasant. Look, customers, they've been begging for this stuff forever. People want to try a scent before buying.

Unfortunately, making wax samples, this nice is pretty darn expensive. So they were in development for over a year. Just arrived, and there's no better time to get on board and try Fulton and Rourke. Last quick thing, they make the best-smelling bathroom essentials. Money can buy. I'm talking this stuff should be GQ award-winning shave cream, body wash, all that good stuff. We've been rocking it. That's why we smell and look and feel so good.

Khan, C-O-N-N, says, I have this one friend who does the tiger twirl after every golf shot. Can you please explain them how ridiculous of a move this is. We are both not good at golf. My thoughts are if you even have the audacity of twirl your club, it better be a pinseeker or straight down the middle of the fairway in a huge moment. Please tell my friend he looks like an asshole. I think it's laugh out of funny if his friend is twirling just like absolute slices.

He just drills one, the ball slices, like, I don't know, 20, 30 yards, right? And he's just twirling the shit out of that club. I think that's laugh out of funny. I thought the exact same thing. I think he keeps doing it. Unbelievable move. He hits what's blatantly a horrible drive and just does up. We're all doing it in the office.

Oh, in the studio right now. just sick club twirl? Dude, you're going to make triple from that. That's a worst shot. Anybody watching that from, like, a farm? He was like, oh, man, he must have killed that shot. It was a great shot. I've also thought of just, since we do so much filming and video every time we're on the course,

that I should twirl after every shot because you can't see on camera where the ball actually goes. So I could just... I did that on 18 at the black. And Lurch had called me out. I drilled the drive off 18 on the black, and it kind of leaked into the rough. Like, it actually ended up being a great drive. Like, I was like, I don't know, a couple of feet. into the rough and Lurch was like oh now come on I mean I did the whole twirl I did the

twirl and the sword I did a twirl and sword yeah you sheathed your sword you can't see where the fuck that ball is let me have that moment and then Lurch was I don't know about that I turn around like they can't see that they can see the twirl yeah and we're not being like disingenuous like that ball was still fucking piped yeah right yeah I think you're on to something I don't know con I don't think you're about he's an asshole I think he's on you're the asshole con I do think the guy has to fully embrace it, though. Yeah. He can't be doing like, he can't be doing half-ass twirls and, like, kind of like caught in the middle.

There's no way he's doing it after every single one. I know that con's over-exaggering, and this guy just does it on, like, funny. Like, when he finally fucking hits one in the air, he's like, let's fucking go, boy. This guy's shooting 100 every time he goes out there. He drills one. He's twirling that thing's face off. And you better let him. Which I love.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a big fan of that. This did not go cons away at all. No. Sorry, con. It happens a lot, actually, a lot of these submissions. Usually we're into shaming people here, but not that guy. Tim says, one of the odds at Tiger transitions to the senior tour at 50.

Zero percent. Zero. It's such a savage move. It'd be like Kyle Bush and NASCAR. He'd just go there and just Bernard Longer. He wouldn't. He was a huge NASCAR guy now, huh? Well, no, I'm not.

It's just like that. Every story we bring up, you're like, oh, it's just like Kyle Bush. It's like my friend Kyle Busch. Well, I didn't even go there. I didn't even go. Oh, that's right. That reference is hitting home with me. is like, I didn't know that that guy was hated that much for going down.

I think it's fucking hilarious that he just goes to these lower amateur events and just dominates and dusts people. And they literally had to ban him. So I picture if Tiger Woods went to the senior tour and was playing golf courses like, oh, you know the Eisenhower Red used to be the home of the senior tour U.S. Open? No way. Yeah, the champions like that, like the senior U.S. Open. Really? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Back in the day, like the 40s. There's a zero percent chance, I think, that Tiger Woods was playing out on the senior open. I mean, he has so much more to play for. He's going to be winning fucking majors at 50. He might still be one of major championships. 50? 50?

A Tiger Woods 50 is like a normal person's 35. Which is great, too, because he's only 43 now. And then we got seven years before. That's kind of a crazy thing to say he's had eight major surgeries. Doesn't matter. See the way he looks? He looks like he will say if he keeps playing just four tournaments a year, the majors, then he'll be still playing for major championships when he's 55.

When he has his hat on, we were saying this during the masses, He looked, he looked like 29 years old. Oh, is it? It was the biggest. The mock neck and the hat, he looked fucking. The wind took 10 years off of it. He's got to, I mean, the way he feels, the way he looks, 10 years off. That picture of him celebrating with his arms in the air and yelling and the camera that just got it just right.

He literally, he looks like he's 25 years old. It's crazy. I don't know how he does that. I think it might be the mock neck thing. But no, he won't, he's not going to play the senior tour when he's 50. He's still going to be, the more I talk about it. him only playing fucking five tournaments

for like the rest of the year is so good he's staying healthy remember when he just pulled out of Bay Hill right? Remember how we were all panicking like is he fucking hurt he said he had the neck issue

you have a fucking neck issue he's like I'm not playing back to back weeks I don't care if I've won at Bay Hill 37 times he's like we got the players championship next week the players championship is a bigger tournament

then I've got the match play he loves the match play loves WGCs then I've got the freaking masters which he won then there's a bunch of majors So, Tiger, I mean, we're looking at a picture of him. You tell me that guy.

That's a 25-year-old man. No joke. If I showed an alien, if I explain to an alien, this is what a 10-year-old looks like. This is what a 20-year-old looks like, 30, 40, 50, and I showed them this picture, they would say that that falls within the 25 to 35 range. Yes. 100%. I'm not even being biased.

That guy could bore a line me doing a victory lap of his last year of college. It's a picture of Tiger with the mock neck. He's got the hat on. He's got the bridgestone ball, and he's just holding it up, like, giving someone like a thanks after he just drilled a put. And he legitimately looks 29 years. old. It's crazy. 29 is a good age.

Trent, you look older than him in this picture. I look old. I got an old face. No, you just look old. Like, you look old in the Tiger Woods. Yeah, we're more talking about how young he looks, Trent. It wasn't a shot at you. No, it wasn't a shot at you at all. All right. It wasn't a shot at Trent. We're saying you look young. He looks even younger. Yes.

Doesn't feel that right? Great spin. That's the way you should take it. Trust me. Trust me. Do a trust us situation? No. All right. What do you mean? No. I'm just saying no. Tiger Woods is not going to play at the senior Thor. I don't think I don't know if he'll ever play a senior tour event. I think it's diminishing to his career if he plays a senior tour event. I don't want him out there, like, doing long drive contests and all that.

I want Tiger was to be a fucking master's champion and just, like, put him in a glass case when he's done. I don't want Tiger out there at the Inspirity Invitational when Trent and I go down. You know what I mean? I know, but... Tiger can't be out there. No. He can't be. That's just...

Like, John Daly was born for that. Correct. John Dahl was born to be outside of Hooters... When he was celebrating... John Daly was born to be outside of Hooters charging people $100 to knock in putts. while he drinks a beer and smokes a fucking cigar and, like, play the champions tour with no shoes on. Tiger Woods, that's a, Tiger Woods is there to win championships, and that's it.

And don't get me wrong, okay? All these guys, and I mentioned earlier that we're going down and we have plans to interview John Daly, Fuzzy Zeller, David Tombs, Paul Lorry, all these guys. These guys are made. They're perfect for the champions tour. Perfect. Perfect. Great, friendly, down-to-earth guys.

They're going to chat it up with the boys. We have a great time in Houston. They can win some money. They still play awesome golf of some of these guys, a lot of these guys. It's a great thing. Tiger Woods is a fucking machine. You don't want the Terminator there. He's a fucking Terminator.

Yeah, on the flip side, the Champions Tour shouldn't want Tiger. No. You want John Daly. You want Fuzzy Zeller. Are you kidding me? The guys who play in the Champions Tour do not want. Listen, that is what, that's what's separate. All right, like, you need to have something that separates yourself from the main product, right?

It's almost like, you need something that separates yourself from the PGA. Like, the PGA right now, like where Tiger Woods is playing, is these guys. guys who are at the top of their game, they're young, they're ready to win, fucking and compete. And then the thing that makes the Champions Tour, the Champions Tour is like you have these unreal, lovable personalities and these guys are just going out there having a great time. Guys like John Daly are having long drive contests. Like that's what separates it. That's the sell right there.

Like, if you don't sell it that way, it's not going to be sold. So that is why guys like John Daly do that, and Tiger Woods is just going to be a fucking machine. There's no way Fuzzy Zeller still plays on the Champions Tour, right? he's like 67 years old you don't think he swings it out there I don't know I can't I don't know if he's just there This week when we go down there And hang out with him if he's there

Just kind of like emceeing and hang out of the event If he's playing in the event I'm really not sure that's where we're going down to explore We're going out to investigate See what the senior tour business is all about But one thing I know it's not about is Tiger Woods No You can't invite the but you can't have The Terminator at like a barbecue

You know what I mean? No The guy eats like pre-canned, like, tubed up food in, like, a little chamber by himself. No, he doesn't leave his house. No, he gets... He has everything he needs his house, and he also has, like, a feeding tube that doesn't go into his body just, like, somehow, like, goes into his stomach. Yeah.

Tiger doesn't consume food just goes inside him. It's like an IV. An IV, yes. Yeah. That is correct. All right, folks, that's it for us this week. We will be in Houston. We're going to be there Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

We're going to be at the Insparity Invitational. Big shout to those guys to the Champion's store. having us down at the Woodlands Country Club in Houston. Come see us, come hang out with us, come watch the event. We're pumped. We'll be back next week. We're going to have a bunch of interviews that we're going to be able to throw out in these next couple shows. And then we're going to be encroaching.

We're going to be sneaking up on PGA Championship Week at Bethpage Black, right down the street for us, Borelli's restaurant, all that good stuff. It's a great time to be alive. It's a middle of golf season. See you in Houston. We'll be back next week. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.

We're floating in space right now, and we're going 67,000 miles. an hour we could be fucking spinning right out into the universe and Trent will not sleep tonight thinking about that fact. God damn it's so fast.
