Trent, first of all, how are we? We're good. We're very good. Off the top, we talked about those fire shirts we just made. I don't want to pat ourselves in the back too much, but the Foreplay Boys putting out hell of fire merch.

We've been bringing the merch game from the towels to the Tiger shirts, to the Tiger shirts when his back hurts, to these I love four-play shirts are maybe my favorite so far. I think they're my favorite as well. Pocket T is a close second. Get that one as well. But the I Love 4 play. You can't beat that. Yeah, we put the I Love 4 play up first, and then we showed the pocket T second. Even Captain Kahn's was like, I think I like the pocket T more.

So a lot of good merch out there. Yeah, just get them both. You don't want to be missing out on either one. We're going to kick it off with a little greenskeeping here. First of all, moving the podcast to Tuesdays. Yeah, we just announced that. Yep. From Wednesday to Tuesday, a lot of discussion about this.

We kind of want to find that sweet spot where it's. It's not too far removed from the previous tournament, but also, you know, leave enough room to talk about stuff. Right. So when we first decided to do this podcast, we just picked Wednesday because it straddled the line. It was a couple days removed from the last tournament, a couple days before the one coming up. So, but we decided Tuesday, and one of our main lines of thought was it'll give people an extra day to listen to it, as opposed to put out Wednesday and let's say you forget or there's something going on. Then by the time, then next thing you know, it's Thursday, tournament coverage is started,

some of the stuff we might have already talked about. So with Tuesday, you get a whole extra day to listen to the podcast. So that's kind of one of our main lines of thinking for that. Definitely. I think it's nice. It gives people that whole Tuesday. But again, come Wednesday, you might have run out of other golf content. If, you know, you're watching Golf Central or whatever your sources,

that kind of around the stuff to talk about. And you've got a whole other day to get your foreplay in. So we're coming out Tuesdays. It'll be Tuesday every week. Makes a little tighter on guests, but that's all right. Oh, well, it'll be fine. It'll be great. Still dominating the guest game.

We mentioned the T-shirts. Go buy the. t-shirts t-shirt t-shirts hot a shirt in the street not the sleep also uh do not forget to go to uh the for play on iTunes and subscribe you got to leave a review top review of the month every month wins a green jacket yep we got about what 10 days left in this month so we'll be picking one here pretty soon 10 days we're got to pick it soon you're going to win your green jackets it's the only way to get one no we're not selling them we're selling t-shirts go buy the t-shirts but you cannot buy the jacket you got to win it you got to earn it

But also people send in questions, all that type of stuff. Uh, greenskeeping. Greens are looking good. I think we're, uh, we nailed that.

We're the best. We're the best podcast at Greenskeeping. We're going to come up with, uh, we're going to hit you now with a little, something a little new, a little new segment, the Rigsie Golf Minute. We'll have to maybe work on that name. That's all I came up within the two seconds that I had to prepare for that. First of all, uh, shout out to the four play friends who had a, uh, a huge week. Our boy, the hatless phenom.

Ali Schneider Jans finished T8, took home over 200K, the Genesis Open. That's phenomenal. I would love to have 200K. Willie Wilcox also wrapped up a top 10. He finished T5 at the Panama Claro Open on the web.com tour. He and Ali actually are both teeing it up this weekend at the Honda Classic. So was our guest this week, John Curran. A little teaser there, professional podcasting.

Willie's also playing the Valspar. So everybody's got those guys. Go give those guys a little foreplay love the next couple weeks. Everybody likes your four play. It'll be fried to go buy a t-shirt. Around golf, we had DJ, of course, runaway with the Genesis Open at Riviera. I had DJ at plus 750, I think I got him at. So shout out to me and shout out to my Twitter buddy who always DMs me.

Your source. My source. Your trusted source. I blew him off for a couple weeks. And then he was like, hey, I don't know if you noticed, but like I've been picking winners every week. I guess I'll bet on him. I bet on him. DJ beat Scott Brown and the German powerhouse Thomas Peters by five shots.

People's Golfer 2.0, King and Bradley finished T-34-O-G, Jim Renner. Jimmy. 74-70. missed the cut. MC hammered it down on the web.com tour. So Jimmy, pick it up, buddy, if you're listening. Champions tour, everybody's favorite, Freddie Couples, Freddie Boom, Boom, got back in the winter circle,

took down the Chubbs Classic in Naples, Florida. He beat out another fan favorite, the mechanic, on Hell, M.N.S. So good work to those guys. I love Freddie Couples. Me too. He's just a laid-back dude. Everybody loves it.

Had a good little story from Michael Breed on him at the Masters last week. So if you haven't, check that out. Go check out last week's episode. Professional Podcast. podcasting. Little Lady Gough. Hanang or Jang? I don't know how exactly you pronounce it.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. She won the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open. Okay. I do shout out to her because she goes bananas at trophy ceremonies. Oh, I did see that. I did see that. Balance a trophy on her head.

She does all kinds of wild antics during the thing. So congrats to her. We love women here. Who also love Foreplay Go-bye T-shirt. Genesis Open, Riviera champ, Dustin Johnson, slash player feelings coming up next. DJ, what do you got on DJ? Love DJ. Love a redemption story.

He's had some rocky days in the past that are well publicized. So it's good to see him. He's been on fire for the last, I mean, ever since the end of last year. Obviously, the player of the year last year. He was the USA's best player, best player going to the Ryder Cup. So it's good to see. He dominated at Riviera. Totally dominated.

I mean, it was never really in question. No. He had six-ish shot lead. I mean, they played 36 on Sunday. Well, it was a disaster this weekend because they started out. They had to play, yeah, they had to play 36 holes on Sunday. They barely finished up the second round on Saturday. They had to play late.

So it's kind of a weird weekend, but I think last week we said what were we looking for for this tournament? We were looking for not a blowout. It was a total blowout. Complete blowout. Because it was a deep field. So you thought, all right, maybe there'll be like a more of a cluttered leaderboard. DJ, man. Yeah, six, seven shot lead going into, you know, whatever that Sunday.

Final round. And then he, uh, yeah. And he kind of stumbled a little bit down. the stretch but I mean he was he admitted afterwards you know kind of lack of focus he knew he had it racked up maybe playing a little bit too safe but yeah I think eight of the top 10 players in the world were in the field guys love this track a little shitty that it was so rained out it kind took some of the fire too out of the 10th hole which the drive ball part for everybody loves it's got one of the skinniest trickiest greens in the world yeah so that's a little tough with the weather but

hey weather's part of it DJ love DJ you're right good redemption story we're kind of laughing at Yahoo kind of hashed up some three-year-old hit piece on DJ about drugs and rumors of all kinds of bullshit. So fuck that kind of stuff. I don't understand that. Why it's so much more fun to be like, Dustin's good now and he's in a good spot. And we're going to talk about him and Paulina. And everything's on the up and up. And then to be like, oh, but he had like kind of maybe a dark pass, very rumor-filled past.

Yeah. And it's like he's super likable. He's like the nicest guy in the world. The Golf Digest piece, I believe Claire Ryan. is the one who wrote it from last year. She wrote it in June when he won the U.S. Open about how when he stayed with their family and what good of a guy he was and all kinds of good little anecdotes in there about him. And it's not even like the Yahoo story of like, oh, he failed a couple drug tests of doing like cocaine.

Like he's some evil guy if occasionally he likes to go out and do like Coke and go party. Like it's not like he's fucking beating people up or like committing assault. Or like a normal dude. failed a couple of Coke tests, whatever. Who gives you shit? No, and then, like, he's easy to root for it because he's had the, like, the Chambers Bay where it's like, God, he's so close. He gets so close so many times. Breaks through, you know, the next year.

Or, yeah, breaks through, gets his major at the U.S. Open. And now he's just on a tear. He's on an absolute tear. He's now won an event at 10 years straight on the tour. Him and Paulina are in a great spot. Shout to Paulina. I love you. And it's just on the up and up.

So to try and, like, drag him back down when he's in a good moment is kind of shitty. Yeah, that pissed me off. Total scumbag move. Like I said, it was a three-year-old thing. They just hashed it up for clicks. Yeah. So that's such garbage. Which we're all for clicks here at the Barstall's sports, but not that way.

Do it the right way. Love clicks, but not when you're like going after somebody for something three years old that's just rumor-filled and not that big of a deal. Right. DJ's the man. Hits the ball a mile. Hits it dead freaking straight. His interview. He even went as far as to say when they asked him,

oh, does it motivate you to become number one in the world? He's like, not really. I just, you know, you win tournaments. That's going to take care of itself, as opposed to a guy like Jason Day who just lost his number one ranking. And he has long said the number one world ranking is what I strive for. DJ's kind of like, yeah, it's good that I have it, but I just like winning tournaments.

Yeah, I always laugh when they ask those types of questions about the ranking. They always ask them, like, oh, how much were you really pulling to get to number one ranking and all that? It's like they're not out there going, okay, if I finish two strokes behind the winner, I still think I move up in the world ranking. Nobody's thinking that. You're just out there playing. Yeah. You're trying to win. If you win, you become number of the world in the world.

That's just how it works. It doesn't help that the world golf rankings, the way to calculate those are like some sort of equation that I will never understand. There's no one within a mile of martial sports that could figure out the world race. Like not even fucking close. No. So maybe big data Morgan. He might be the old guy. He could.

He could. He'd have some sort of thing on it, some special calculator. to get it done. Yeah, for those that don't know, we hired a new lurchy guy, like 6'5 monster who's just the data guy. So we just call it big data. Big motherfucker. Nice guy.

It's just all he does is data, which is, it's similar to like our tech guy, where if you used to ask him what they do, like, yeah, we're the tech guys. And then you're like, oh, you can just basically say whatever because I, you know that I don't know what that way you're talking about. So a smart move on their part. The other big news out of the Dustin Johnson camp, they're having, uh, him and Paulina having their second kid, which is very exciting. Love it.

Love that. Everything seemed to be going well for DJ. You know, his life settled down a little bit. He's winning a bunch of tournaments. Number one of the world is going to have two kids now with an all-time Hall of Fame Smoke Show. Oh, Paulina has been one of my favorites for years. I blog every move she does. It's just one of the things that I do.

If it's big or small, it doesn't matter. I'm blogging about it because she is just unbelievable. She's a content machine. She's super hot, super sexy, likes to have a good time. Yeah. And, oh, she's married or she's engaged to the number one golfer in the world. Oh, that's got to make her so happy. I feel like that makes her very happy.

Like, she likes the number one ranking more than DJ. A thousand percent. As she should. Yeah. She's just like, oh, my man's the number one player in the world. Go fuck yourselves, everybody else. If you're the best in the world at something, anything, that's unbelievable. I never thought of it like in those terms.

The best in the fucking world at something. In the world. At golf, no less. Like, one of the hardest things to do. At golf, which we've proven is basically impossible. Shout out to Michael Breed. for ripping them my swing apart. Yeah, shout out Michael Breed, one of a big fan of the show.

We're big fans of his. Hedeki Matsiyama continues to make headlines for basically hitting flawless golf shots and then complaining about them while they're in the air this week. He literally hit the flag stick. The wrong headlines. He's making the wrong headlines. You've noticed it's reached past the point where, like, I made fun of them on Twitter, whatever. Some people respond to like, I agree.

Now you got golf commentators being like, kind of weird that you're reacting like that when you hit the old flag stick. So he's making the wrong headlines. You don't want to have the reputation. Reputation. Reputation. That's a new word that is made up. It is kind of. He's doing it reputiously.

Every week I make up a new word or new. Last year it was like something about a high horse. Anyway, you don't want the... I'm trying to think about what it was. Oh, don't take the high horse. Yeah, right. Always take the high horse. Hideki Matsuyama, he has a bright future ahead of him, one of the best young guns in the game.

You do not want the repute. of a guy who does it's like when you're golfing with your buddies you don't want some guy being like oh that was a terrible shot and then it lands three feet from the hole yeah i almost wonder if hedaki's just trolling at this point if he flushes it and he knows it's perfect does he just do that on purpose if he is doing that i respect it clearly but i do not think that's what's going on i don't know what it is does he have such high standards that it's like oh yeah that's going to have the flagstick but it's not going in so i can i should react this way like if he is trolling us it might be like is the japanese media just like laughing at us every time Oh, he did it again. He's got those dumbass Americans by the fucking balls just chirping him with his trolling of his phenomenal shots and acting like they're shitty shots. Woke Riggs-y right now.

That could be true. I've been pretty woke the last couple weeks. I wouldn't, I don't put it past, uh, Dheke to maybe be doing that. But I don't think that's the case, but I'm going to be mad if it is. Um, your girl, Amanda Ballianus was on the cover. Ballionis. How do you say it? Amanda Ballionis.

She's a fan of us. We are a fan of hers as well. She did a great job. Yeah, she had her debut on the old broadcast. She did post-front interviews. Did a great job. We just wanted to give a quick shout out to her. Good job, Amanda.

Love seeing good golf coverage. Good job Amanda. On to headlines. Bryson D. Shambo ruffled a few feathers this week. He, I believe, he was on sponsors exemption and then played 26 holes or something. I think he was 28. 28 holes and then withdrew citing some sort of hand injury. Bryson, Bryson, Bryson.

A tough, tough week for him to do that after I said that I kind of liked him last year. Yeah, that sucks for you that you took that side of the fence because he can't make cuts. And then not only does he not make a cut, he just full out withdraws for some. He took a picture of the hand injury and he just, like, wrapped it one time and was like, oh, my hand turned, so I got to bail. Like put some fucking ketchup in there or something. Make it look like your hand. Do a Kurt Schilling, Kurt Schilling bloody sock situation. Something.

He just, it legit looked like he just put the freshest. piece of like gauze tape on his hand i've ever seen and it was fine i mean it looked fine this leads me to believe that he is has zero self-awareness doesn't understand that these things are going to rub people the wrong way especially when he is trending in the direction where people are already don't really like him because he gets so much coverage and he doesn't play all that well he hasn't made a cut in a long time so that shows me that he doesn't have much self-awareness and that's a tough look for a guy like that i really did not realize how many people don't like bryson de chambot until i said that i liked him and they were like that everyone's like

Fuck you, this guy sucks. And then he withdraws on a sponsor's. It's what you said last week. You got to, early on, you see the kid, and he's interesting, and he's doing things that bring attention, and you can be like, that's really interesting, and I like that. Or you go the other way and you're like, make a cut, and then I'll find you interesting. Yeah, so a tough week for that. Maybe pick a different week to withdraw Bryson DeCambeau.

Also, you were not happy about his commercial situation. I knew this needs to be a rule just with golfers everywhere, not just Bryson. if you are in a tournament and they're going to run a bunch of commercials and you don't make the weekend, whether it's a withdrawal or you just don't make the cut, you can't have commercials that weekend. And not only did he have commercials this weekend, he had commercials like three times every time they went to a commercial break. It drove me crazy.

And it's his thing. It's the, oh, you have to see every shot. And there's data coming from those shots and you have to know what to do with it. It's like, fuck you, man. You're not in this tournament. You withdrew. You just, if you can't have commercials if you withdraw or miss the cut. That needs to be a new rule in golf.

I agree. It's the most famous golf commercial of late that no one will ever forget is the Rory Hall fame one. I think you could be watching like women's golf at 2 a.m. And Rory's just did you buy hitting drives. Yeah. Living in the Hall of Fame is non-fucking stop. So it's tough to get over those types of commercials, especially I would imagine when you hate Bryce and Deschambeau. Speaking to Rory, Rory and Trump golfing on Sunday.

You know, I mean, I don't care what your thoughts are on politics. or whatever, if you get a chance to play golf with the President of the United States, I think you just, you got to take it. Yeah, and I blog this. My take was in a position where you're like a golf like that, where you're at Tiger Woods or we had Ernie Ells in a similar situation last week, it's better for them to just be friends with the president. Definitely.

It's way more beneficial. I mean, obviously whether you disagree with Trump, which a lot of people do, you being friends with the president, regardless of who is in that office, is going to pay bigger dividends than you being a professional golfer who's not friends with the president. I know that's the shitty way to look at it, but I think it's true. Yeah, I mean, it's a no-brainer. You know, and especially a president who's very closely tied to golf.

He's got golf courses everywhere. Even when Trump first started to run, you could tell, like, different golf entities that wanted to shit on them or whatever, we're like, we're just not going to say anything. Because this guy kind of controls a lot of the golf world. That's just smart. That's just looking out for yourself, looking out for Numero Uno. Like you said, it's way better no matter how you feel to be on the president's good side than on his bad side. Yeah, and the optics of it, you just kind of have to, like, people are going to be like, there will be people who are like, oh, shit, Roy's hanging out with Trump.

I don't love that. That's going to pass and it's not going to matter. No, definitely not going to matter. Also, I mean, I'm sure Trump probably just like, like, trivially just gives him his number or two. So, yeah, Roy, you text me a paper. Sure, like, hit me up. So that's not a bad thing to have. Do you think Rory plays Trump to the point where he beats him and he wants like that respect?

Or do you let Trump win and get on his good side? Trump, you got to let him win. Have to. If it was anybody else, any other president, I think they could handle losing, no problem. Shake your hand, great match. If you beat Trump, like, he might have you, you just disappear. You don't even, you don't leave that amount.

You're that round. You're just gone. Right. Like, within a week, it's like, oh, Rory was on his way to Dubai for a tournament and his plane mysteriously disappeared. Like, that's not kosher. The silver lining, despite how you feel about Trump is that Roy's, he's playing a little golf again.

He's been hurt with the rib injury, so we're hopefully going to see him soon. Gotta be healthy enough to be out there golfing. So, yeah, I think he said Mexico is his target in a couple weeks, like three weeks, something like that. So I hope to see Roy back. Where's huge Rory guys? Speaking of somebody who's not back, but whose back is in bad shape, Tiger Woods withdrew from a press conference. And then also withdrew from the trophy presentation on Sunday.

Basically withdrawing from just life at this point. You know how you said Hideki Matsiyama might be trolling us with these moves? Yeah. I feel like Tiger might be trolling people with withdrawing. He's just withdrawing from everything. Everything he does, he just withdraws from. I'm not going to the grocery from I'm withdrawn. It is almost like his agent is releasing these statements and just trolling everyone.

Tiger, like, withdrew from going to get lunch today. Yeah. Can't move. It wasn't enough for him to withdraw from the press conference. Or, yeah, the press conference. And then they just had to make it a thing where he is usually here for the trophy ceremony, but he's got to withdraw. He can't do it.

Like made a point to be like he literally can't even walk down to a fucking green and hand somebody a trophy. That probably weighs five pounds. Yeah, not a great look. They said the doctor's orders were to stay horizontal. Is that what it was? Horizontal or vertical? I can't remember.

That's not good when you're making a comeback to be one of the best professional athletes in the world. And you cannot, you're literally on a fucking, you have to be horizontal. Not great. So I think that's all we're going to talk about, Tiger, but it's not looking great. It's amazing how much our fears have come true times like infinity. Times infinity. Like, oh, I hope he doesn't grab his. back and get hurt a little bit too he's withdrawing from trophy present he looked so good at the

hero world challenge so good not i mean he finished what 15 out of 17 but it was just healthy he was hitting great chips he got rid of those yips he shot of 65 on one of the days and now we are we are so far removed from that that it makes me want to cry just a little bit on to a brand new segment shank you very much this is the biggest blunders in golf aka the shank of the week we had pat Perez. Trent, you were pretty plugged into this on the social media all week. I was. Tell us about it. Well, it's pretty simple. He got up to the drive. We love Pat Perez. Love that hair. Oh, love that guy. But steps up to the drive, steps up to the T, excuse me, hits it. Kind of looks like it's maybe going to the gallery a little bit. It's just smacks a dude. Smacks a dude so hard that I thought in real time when I was watching it, that it bounced up a wooden chair.

They had like a couple set up. Yep. You go back, you watch it. It clearly hits a dude in the head. clink clink like bouncing off a marble floor and then so they go to commercial i took a video of it and tweeted from our account at four play pod on twitter oh they come they come back from the commercial sure is shit pat prez is down the fairway with the guy he's sitting on a chair and a guy has a thing to his head like stopping the bleeding from him all fucked up so it was a bad scene for our boy pat perrez yeah that's tough it's got to you got to feel bad in that situation I mean, the only thing golfers can do, I think they just, they always like sign the glove and give it to them. That's like, oh, no, you'll be, your head's fine now.

Here's a glove. There's got to be a different sort of system. So if you get hit in, like, the fleshy part of the back, all right, you can get a signed glove. You get hit in the noggin. I think it hit him ran the temple. We got to have a different reward for people in the gallery. Take them out to dinner, maybe buy them like a new set of clubs or something. Yeah, you're right.

The glove thing, it's just kind of, that clank, too. I mean, that motherfucker, he got smoked. Tees and peas with that guy. I hope he's all right. Seriously, go back and listen to that video. It is, I'm never going to forget that sound. Now, I laughed out loud when I saw it, but then also felt bad. Oh, also, on an extension of that, a couple holes later, maybe in the next hole, Pat Perez

hit another guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, like, maybe like 20 minutes later. Yeah, hit him right in the back. Smoked another guy. He's just picking people off. Yeah, golf's dangerous. You got to be out there. It's tough because if you're in those spots where, like, drives actually land, you don't

want to be looking up in the sky. Like, oh, I wonder if there's a golf ball coming. Right. Because if you don't pick it up, you're in the worst. I mean, it's going to hit you in the, like, actual face. Right. Not like the back of you or the back of your, where your flesh is, like you said. It's going to hit you, like, in the eyeball or, like, your jaw and you're just done.

The PJ Tour players are clearly very good. I am a little surprised that people don't get hit in the Noggin more just in the gallery in general. I really think that should happen more. Me too. I don't want it to. Good luck to all those people. Keep your head on a swivel out there, but not too much. You'll take one in the face.

A little four play in the wild. I hit the simulator golf on Saturday, played Pebble Beach with Smitty, office manager Brett, and one of my roommates, Ben. People have been asked me, what's the simulator like, what's simulator golf like? I've been saying it's worth it. Yeah, because you get to get out,

especially if you live in, you know, a wintry climate where you just don't get to swing the freaking golf club for two, three, four months a lot of the time, especially you live in New York, and not much room in your apartment. It's worth it. You get to get out, you swing, Simulator's not perfect.

You know, some of the shots register a little bit differently, but it's good enough that it's accurate enough. Like, if you fucking hook one, it hooks. Yep. And you're in trouble. There are times where, I mean, you hit the occasional, like, so the simulator loves when you hit it low. So a lot of times, like, you'll hit, like, a really thin four iron or something.

It'll go, like, $2.90 on the simulator. But then you also hit, like, a nice, what you think would be, like, a 70-yard wedge shot that you, like, get up in the air, and it goes like 30 yards. Yep. So it's not perfect. It's very fun. There's a couple different ones in New York City that we go to.

I think it's like 70 bucks an hour. You get a couple beers. They have like a full bar right there. Next thing you know, you're there for four hours. You spend 100 bucks or so. You get a little drunk, but you play a nice round of golf.

Played Pebble Beach. Got a beautiful picture out of it on the seventh hole. You guys look great. Yeah. Because we're all in your golf stuff. It looked really, really good. It felt like we were dreaming. Brett asked me.

He's like, what do you wear to this thing? And I was like, what kind of question? Is that what do you think you wear? It's not a bad question, if we're being honest. Because when you go to a normal golf course, you know what the attire should be. Yeah. But if you're just, you know, I'm going to go stand somewhere and drink a bunch of beers inside, that's not where I would think I got to wear straight up golf stuff.

I told Brett, if you don't, if you're not wearing golf gear, I'm not letting you into the simulator. I think that's fair. I think that's fair. New video we shot today. I'm sorry, we released today. No, we released yesterday. Yep. of playing through.

One thing we want to talk about is anytime you play through, the next shot is the hardest shot, most nerve-wracking shot in the history of the game. Yeah, so we put out that video yesterday. Shout out to our boy Francis, who helped us out with it. Yeah, Francis helps us big time, helps us write those very creative guys. Yeah, those are fun to make.

Yeah, playing through, and that's kind of what we played off of. We went in, the joke was like, oh, you're nervous to pee, but you're also nervous after playing through. Nothing more nervous. You're playing through, you're on the T, and those people come up right behind you. you're like fuck and they just they sit there and wait while you play golf through them so that you can play golf faster than them then if you hit a shitty shot and you like takes you 20 minutes to play that all you're just like fuck fuck fuck the whole time unbelievable so uh go check out that video also uh go buy t-shirts do all that stuff shout out to the genesis open who tweeted out on saturday uh on saturdays are for the boys fantastic i retweeted that this is the beauty of the saturdays are for the boys uh given barter's Stools, not so much anymore.

We're doing on the up and up now. Yep. But Saturdays are for the Boys is disconnected enough to something where, you know, like, oh, that's barstool that a stoolie maybe running in the Genesis account can tweet something like that. And everybody knows like, oh, nice. That's a little hat tip to the bar stool. Slide that in there a little bit.

Yeah. So shout out to who's ever running that account, Genesis Open. We love that type of stuff. Also, everybody go by a Saturdays over the boys. Golf towel. Nice. One of our top sellers. Everybody loves that.

coming up next we got an interview with our boy a mask guy John curran of the PGA tour phenomenal chat enjoy folks all right we're joined by John Curran he is for those that don't know Hopkinton Mask guy I believe and correct me if I'm wrong on this a little bit of a stool a little bit of a barstool fan

yeah I'm a decent stool it I'm not yeah I'm I'm right in there yeah I figured because you know Boston guy That's kind of our M.O. As the Boston crowd. No, for sure, for sure. Yeah, so we were a little curious in terms of the people's golfer situation because you are pretty good buddies with Renner and Keegan, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I went to high school with Keegan, and he came, moved to my hometown when he was like, I think he was a senior. And, yeah, we went to high school together. And I played junior golf against Jimmy Renner, growing up, so I've known him for a while.

Yeah, we love Jimmy Redder. He's the man. He's one of our go-to guys. I think at some point you were in the running for the people's golfer. Any sort of bitterness there that you weren't selected by old Portnoy? Well, I mean, I feel as though I wasn't fairly represented in the running for people's golfer. But, I mean, I think you guys got a good crew.

Yeah, we, you know, we're definitely fans of those guys, but we're also, the people's golfer is very, it can be very fluid, I feel like. Yeah, that's good. Well, and also, I mean, Kagan's got a, I can go with that. Keegan's got a major. I mean, obviously, everybody loves Jimmy. I think you would have been a great fit for it. Thank you.

So, speaking of Keegan, 2015, 2016, CBS Health Charity Classic champs. A lot of people might not know that. Why don't you tell us a little bit about that tourney? So the CBS Charity Classic, it's obviously sponsored by CVS Caremark. organization. So they put on a really good event, and they've put it off for quite a while now. They've had it going.

I think last year was their 18th year. So, I mean, I remember growing up traveling down to them, because there's obviously not there many golf tournaments in the New England area. So we go down and watch guys come in to play that event. And so to even be in that event, it's really awesome. And then obviously to play with my best friend and then to win it two years in a row, it's pretty sick. Yeah, we're kind of talking about that.

because people ask us all the time, you know, why don't you guys go to more events and whatnot? And the tour just doesn't really come up to New England very often. They really don't. I don't know why. I mean, you got Barclays in New York. And that's got a pretty good showing. I mean, you get a lot of stoolea people out there. Obviously, you got the CBS, and then you got the one in Hartford.

But other than that, it's really pretty much, yeah. And then the Boston event, but there's really not many. Yeah, we are, so we are curious as well. I mean, that type of event, you know, it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, It's kind of a charity event. You're playing a team event versus individual. How up for that are you in Keegan getting? Oh, my God.

We get show up for it. I mean, we don't play any team events, hardly ever. And so, like, I think people, the people that play in that event are, like, kind of take it, oh, this is a nice little charity thing. And we're like, we want to, like, bash and skulls in that event. So it's awesome. I love that because I feel like it really, you know, the average dude on the weekend, who he's not going out and playing.

18 holes, vicious, grindy stroke play. He's going out playing a little team golf with his buddies in a forci or something like that. Oh, yeah. And they're actually doing a little bit more of it. So changing the Zurich Classic into a team event this year to New Orleans. I think it would be awesome if they had more team events. I think it would do the U.S. I mean, we do really good in the Ryder Cups anyway,

but I think it would help us even more if we had just a little bit more pressed in on some team events. Yeah, we were, Trent and I were actually right before we went on talking about that, how the team event, and I guess the Ryder Cup with how big it's gotten, kind of highlights this every year, but the more team events, the better. I can't believe they don't do more of them. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, they're starting to do it, like I said, with that one in New Orleans, they totally change this regular run-of-the-mill PG-T tour event, and they made a team event.

It's going to be sweet. It's going to be awesome. So do you guys, like, for the event, do you guys do any outfit matching or anything like? like that? I don't know. I mean, I'm sure some guys do, but that's a little. That's not my style. That's not your style. You never know, because the team have been on tour, it's new. It's different. Yeah, it is different. I mean, we could wear something. I mean, we could get like some sort of barstool thing. Oh. Actually, I wanted to put a barstool thing, a barstool shirt on in Phoenix at that stadium hole, but I got only thought about it on Saturday. So I was like,

Oh, that would have been great. We should know, what if we've got now barstool golf towels? We should try and attach one of those to the old bag. You could have done it. I think Phoenix, you guys should have been more of Phoenix. It would have been awesome to get, like, throw out some barstool shirts or something. Dude, we get that. You're right. We get that all the time.

Might have been a missed opportunity, but you, so let me ask you this. Speaking of Phoenix, it was Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. You got to be a Pat's guy. Oh, yeah. So after the round, I mean, you're playing, you got the round, and then are you just straight to a bar for the game, or what are you doing? Yeah. My buddy, Brendan Steele and myself watched the game.

I think we had the Patriots Money Line and the over parlayed. So we had some nice betting to watch. We did not actually, yeah. That is, I also had Patriots Money Line, and then I got drunk, and I bet them like four. They were like plus 500 or something in the third quarter, and I bet more on them. so I was going nuts when they won that game.

Oh, yeah. I put them in. I put that in, I think, when they were, they were like plus 150, so I put it in, like, early January. That's nice. I like that a lot. Yeah. So we'll have to work on that. We'll talk to our guys.

We've got to get you some gear out there. We'll try to get as much barstool gear on as we can. Because it's what you're saying, John. It's a huge stoolie event. That's right when we launched our podcast, and we dubbed it the Stoily Open because every time that comes around, people send us pictures. like you wouldn't believe you i mean have you guys ever been to it no nope whoa dude it's like it is it may be a great one of the greatest sporting events in the history of mankind so next year i would almost guarantee that we'll be there next year yeah it's just it's debauchery

if you're there on the like if you're there like midday on a friday or saturday it's like all fun and everybody's having a good time but then if you're there like at six o'clock on a friday on a Saturday afternoon. People are like passed out shirtless. Like, oh, it's wild. Yeah, I've got buddies that they go and they go on Saturday. They get there as early as they can. They run to the seats on 16 and they just take pints of whiskey in with them. Oh. It's beautiful. It would be so much fun. I almost wish I wasn't playing in a tournament. It would be so much fun.

So, yeah, we were going to ask because we had, we had Ollie Schneiderjans on that week. So we're going to ask, you know, what's it like playing in that kind of environment versus the classic? classic golf, quiet, please, all that shit. And then I'll send you're out in Phoenix and you got a bunch of drunk clowns all over the place. Good. I mean, it's fun. You've got to really embrace. I was talking about somebody.

This is about, this is somebody today. You really have to embrace it. If you don't and you're fighting a battle because that place is wild. I mean, if you don't embrace it and like get, take the booze as much as the cheering, you got, you're going to have a tough time. Yeah, you almost got to let the booze, the booze fuel you a little bit. Yeah, I mean, you're going to get booed. It's just there's no question.

If you miss a pot, you'll get booed. Well, I'd say, even if you put it on the green, they don't, they boo. Yeah, like the green is people are there to see a train wreck. They can care less if you make a birdie or not. I like that. That is our kind of event. It's wild. So speaking of this year, pretty good start to the year for you.

You've been making some cuts early on. You're playing Honda this weekend. Just kind of give us a, you know, how you feel on where you at? I've been playing good. Like, yeah, I've made a lot of cuts. I haven't had any great finishes yet, but I remember my rookie year.

I remember all I had was like either a missed cut or like a top 10. So it's like kind of hit or miss. I mean, there's more than one way to do it. So I'm making a lot of cuts and a little bit more consistent this year, but I'm just looking for, you know, one or two good starts to fire me up. You might not love this, but I was looking, speaking of gambling. at the betting odds right before, and they have you at plus 30,000 to win this weekend.

Plus 30,000? I think I'm going to take that. I have to take that. No, there were like 10 guys that were worse than that. Okay, so it's only 10? Yeah, oh yeah. I mean, actually, I think it like levels off, like a cut. So that's why I was thinking, I think, I mean, I might have to take you there.

It's good value. Oh, yeah. We'll have to see, because we've had the last couple of guests, Ollie Snyder Jans and Willie Wilcox. They have done well in the tournament's proceeding coming on here. So this might just be your good luck charm coming on this podcast. That could be very well be. Yeah, hometown event, bro.

This is going to be fun. I love that. So we got we're very... Throw a hundy on that. We'll see what I can do. Oh, there you go. I'm all in on that. That's all you had to say.

I already placed the bet now. Yeah. So we're big caddy guys. We love caddies, kind of common man. Good. Tell us a little bit about your catty. player relationship? My catty is,

he's actually, I'm waiting for him to come to my house right now. He's staying with me this weekend. He's, that tells you enough about the relationship. He has a great relationship. Love that. He's an older guy. He's been on tour for 30 plus years.

He's had like Davis Love. He's worked for Davis Love. He's working for Brad Faxon. He's probably won 15 times. So he's been around the block. Everybody loves him. he's a big time ball buster oh i like that need that in a cat oh wicked ball buster um is he like giving you shit out on the course and stuff not necessarily me but like he's he's

a loyal guy which is great so if anybody's giving me shit he's going after them big time oh that's great he must have loved the phoenix oh yeah oh yeah if anybody's that yelling who i remember one guy at phoenix so like phoenix is wild because 16, yeah, that's crazy hole. But there's only 30,000 people in that one hole, but there's 200,000 people at the tournament that day. So there's 170,000 people roaming about, like, the whole golf course, whole rest of the golf course.

People always forget that, like, the rest of the course is an absolute circus as well. It's a circus. So, like, some of the worst areas are the toughest areas that are, like, loud and, like, wild are 17 T-box. And then just right when you get off of 16. And I was playing on Friday. I was playing really well. I was going to make the cut and had a really good round going. I hit this T-shot on 17, and some guy was, like, yelling, like, right in my swing.

And I didn't hit it great, but it was still, like, okay, it was still in play. And my caddy, his name is Cubby gives this guy the death stare like you wouldn't believe. He wanted to, like, jump into the crowd and kill this guy. But, no, he's good. He's a great guy. He's been around forever, and he's a really, really good caddy. I love that. What's your guys chatter like out there in the middle of a round?

You guys are pretty positive. You kind of shooting shit about random stuff. You focused on golf. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I do a lot of, well, recently, I've been the last five or six months, I've been getting myself into nice sports betting. I've been doing a lot of gambling.

And we talk about, he's a big hockey guy. He coaches the Sun Valley Sun, which is junior elite. hockey team in Sun Valley, Idaho. Okay. And so he's the coach for that. Those guys, he's a big, huge hockey guy, and he gives me all these hockey plays. They never work out. Hockey betting stuff, because it's always like, it's always, the overrunners always like five and a half,

and then it's always plus one and a half on every game. Yeah, I know. Well, I've been doing some money lines. I can buy the line down to 0.5, which is not bad, but I love going for that minus 1.5 line. and getting some nice plus 200 game going. Oh, I love that. We could probably talk about that all day. Yeah.

So we also noticed in our extensive research, you're a big graffiti guy. Yeah, so we went to your main page, Professional Golf Podcast, had to check it out. Yeah. It says, lover of graffiti and street art. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Yeah, well, I grew up, obviously, in Massachusetts,

and I remember going into the city, driving into the city on I-90 on the mass bike, I'm always seeing the graffiti on the side of the road. Oh, yeah. And I don't know why. I just got drawn to it. I love it. I really like that art.

I'm kind of big into art. And there's this place down in, I live in West Palm Beach, Florida. And there's this place in Miami that's really, really cool. It's called Winwood. Okay. And it's like this really hipster neighborhood with all this, like, murals and street art and graffiti and really cool. It's a really cool spot. I'm just into that art.

I love spray paint and I love just that kind of artwork. Yeah, I was going to say, do you dab. I love my big vandalism guy. That's what it sounds like. Yeah, do you dabble yourself or do you just an admirer? Yeah, I actually, I do paint quite a bit, actually. So whenever I'm on, like, I'm off the, you know, I've got a couple weeks off, I'll do something. I'm, you know, it's never, it's not like graffiti, like, with, like, words and stuff.

like just paint with spray paint. We basically, I mean, now we have to get you to paint something of us or maybe like the three of us. I could do, I could do somebody's fate. That'd be like, like, like, somebody's, like, give me like a really horrible picture of somebody and I could, I could, I could paint it. That's trance or. That's really easy. Or glenny balls or something. That is really easy.

We could do that, no problem. We'll make that like our Twitter cover photo or something like that. Yeah, I love it. That'd be great. That's absolutely phenomenal. Speaking of like your drive, you know, you're saying obviously mass guy, Boston guy, you're driving in on the pike. You got any of your like favorite public tracks around Boston?

Public tracks around Boston. I played Granite Link last year in Thornton's charity event. That was pretty good. Yeah, I actually, small world. I had a junior membership at Granite Links for four years. Didn't that? Isn't that really expensive? No, the junior one, so if you're like under 30, it's not bad. You know, they have like a then kind of mold user that you become a full-time, you know, adult member,

which is way more expensive after you're 30. But they had like a really appealing deal. That place, this comes up on every podcast, but that place is phenomenal. And then that's actually, you know, Mike Welch, who was the assistant pro there this last summer. That's how I got to know him and Renner pretty well. Mike Welter is a recurring guest on this podcast and has yet to appear. Yep. I love Welchie.

Oh, he's the man. Yeah, yeah. He's good. He's good stuff. I didn't know he was a head pro out there. So he did, he had a child in the fall. So he did when he moved back, he did like a move back home, you know, get like a steady job as the assistant pro at Granite and all that type scene. And so he actually helped me out with my swing and all that, played a bunch of golf of them, got the known well.

And he's a welchie. He's an animal. He's the man. Oh, yeah. He strikes it, too. Oh, man. He flushes the golf ball. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. So we are, we're going to close it with, we always close it with a little rapid fire. We just have, I believe, three questions today, Trent? Yep, we're going to, we got three questions. We're going to ask them, and you can just give your gut answer. We'll do them fast. Okay.

All right. Number one, what is your go-to curse word after a shitty shot? Fuck. Just go to an old-fashioned F word? Yeah. Love it. There's really nothing better than a good F-Pile. That just gets the job done.

No, if you really nail it, it's wonderful. Okay, that's a good one. Second rapid-fire question. Do you have any weird pre-tournament rituals? Pre-tourment rituals? The weird or the better? I really don't. The weird or the better?

Yeah. God damn. I don't really, no, yeah. Not a superstitious guy? I'm not a superstitious guy. No, I'll do, I'll eat anything or do anything on the day up. I respect that. We did have a long drive guy we met who he like specifically eats bojangles every day.

Like during competition. No, no, no, no, I'm not to do that. All right, last one. Favorite blogger at Barstool Sports? Favorite blogger? Well, I would say, Fred, but he doesn't really blog anymore. Oh, shots fired. Shots fired.

That's a hell of an answer. I really like that. I'm going to say Trent. I'm not getting pressure into that. I like Trent's work. Oh, wow. That's really flattering. We just assumed you were going to go with Dave,

but I like you taking shots at Dave and then saying me. That makes me really happy. Yeah, yeah, that's good. You got it. Yeah, if you said, Dave, we were going to hang up on you. No, no, no. Trust me. I would never have finished with Dave and said that.

Thank God. And Trent's, you should see Trent right now. He's beaming like ear to ear. Good. Good. He deserves it. Last to be speaking of day, we're going to do a bonus question. You got a comment on your, you had a one-bite cupcake review on Thanksgiving where you stabbed it with your pinky.

Yeah, that's one of my things. I can do that with those little mini cupcake. It's actually really easy, but my friends get a kick out of it. It's just you stick it with one of your fingers. It's an actual one bite. You do it in one bite. Literally one bite. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yes. But then I got hammered for having wine in my, uh, uh, spice in my wine class. Yep, notice that. Wasn't it going to comment on it. Yeah, I got more comments on that than anything else. Not that I have any followers or anything. I actually, I do. I will say that if you like things cold, I do as well.

A lot of times our fridge in the office doesn't, like the beer just doesn't get very cold. So I'll throw a couple ice cubes in my beer and people make fun of me left it right. Yeah. I mean, what are you going to do? All right, John Curran. First of all, I really appreciate you taking the time. Great interview, great chat, and we'll really be pulling for you this week at the Honda. I appreciate it, boys.

Thank you very much. Yeah. Also for anybody else, Johncurringgolf.com. Did I get that right? Yeah, you got it. All right, man. Well, good luck this week. We'll be pulling for you, and we really appreciate it.

Thanks, John. All right, see you. Thank you. Take care. All right. That was our chat with John Curran. Pretty hot finish there for you, Trent. I'm still grinning from him.

saying I was his favorite barsfield blogger. I really thought he was going to go with maybe a rigs, and he just went straight for Trent. He's trying to drive a wedge in here, trying to be like, oh, Trent's better. Golf, golf reference. Yep. Trent.

Great dude. Love having John Curran on. So hopefully the trend continues of our boys playing really well after they come on. Absolutely. Cool John Curran. That was cool. Next up. The people's favorite segment from the gallery.

Whoa. We're getting a ton of these. People send in a million emails. Love it. Continue to make Rob's life miserable. Email 4Play at barstoolsports.com. Foreplay pod on Twitter and Instagram. Yep. Questions, rules, the whole thing.

Just send us whatever you got. A lot of questions. Send us funny questions. Send us funny quirks that come up on the golf course. Send us all kinds of interesting things that you think would make for good discussion between Trent and myself. We got a couple here today. First of all, we got these guys.

They went out after work, played, you know, they went out, you know, after like 6 p.m., something like that, squeeze in as many holes as you could. So it was getting dark. Anyways, they were clumsy. Crash the cart. One of the wheels popped off. Tried to put it back on.

Couldn't. So they played the final three holes on three wheels. I guess it sounds like they drove up and just like left the cart there and then like scurried off. and ran away. And the question is, are they dicks for doing that? And would you have done that? I have two answers to that.

I would say, yes, you are a dick for doing that. Would I do it? Yeah, probably. Yeah, I would totally agree. I would do it. I would do the same thing. I would feel really bad about it. Of course.

And also, there's probably a paper trail involved with that. They know what cart you took. So they're probably going to know who you are pretty quickly. I feel like that's very dependent on the golf course. Some golf courses are so far behind on technological things. For example, I'm always shocked when I go to a golf course's website, and you're trying to look up like, does this place suck balls? And you go on their website just sucks.

How easy is it? Just get a domain name and put up, like, the most beautiful pictures you could possibly take on your golf course. Yeah. Even if you have like two decent views on your course, take the nicest picture on the nicest day, put those on the thing and put, here's our phone number, and people will go play it. Uh-huh. So my point is that there's some course they just hand you a key. Yeah.

Good luck. Then if that's where we're going with it and they don't know who you are, then you're fine. But you are a dick. You are not a nice person because if you're being rough and rowdy with the cart, it somehow lost a wheel. And then you just bail on it. Not great. Yeah, I've never lost a wheel. I will say that I've, my brother and I have been playing before and the cart ran out of juice.

Oh. On like the 16th or 17th hole and it was dark, getting dark as well. my brother and I just grabbed our bags off the back and we just left. Oh, really? Yeah, we just were like... We were playing shitty and we were like, fuck this. We just literally grabbed her bags, made sure we had everything. And we just literally walked off the course, got in the car, and drove home.

We didn't tell anybody. Like, not a word to anybody. That's pretty good. Felt bad about it, definitely, but also I would have never done anything different. Yeah, that's the thing. Like, we can say, I mean, I'm an asshole for doing it, but it's just happens to be true. My golf cart story, when I was like five, my dad is a big golf. or so I'd always be hanging out at the course

and I just took a golf cart and slammed it right into a tree. Oh, so. That's nice. Bad start with golf carts. Not like I can't drive them anymore, but bad start. Yeah, it's golf cart. It's a funny environment too here. You pretty much, you could just go get shit-faced on the golf course, but you're driving

a dangerous machine. People forget that. People do forget that. It's also part of the fun. Definitely. I know. Look at me. I'm behind here.

I'm down here, but I'm not going to hurt anybody. Yeah, there's also a certain guy, like when you roll up to a lot of tracks and the bag helper guys will be like, oh, which one of you is driving? And I'm usually like, I don't give a shit, but there are certain guys that are like, I want to try. Yeah, I love driving. It's the most fun thing in the world. So shout out to those guys.

You're definitely a dick, but I think I would have done the exact same thing. Something similar, sure. Another guy asks, how to find friends that don't suck at golf and also aren't too poor to go on golf trips. This is, we talked a little bit about this before we came on. This is less about the person asking. And it's the friends that just need to change. You're only young ones. Go on some fucking golf trips.

That's what pisses me off about people that are... If you have kids and are married and all that, it's too late for you. Your life is over. You can get away with this type of thing. But conversely, if you don't, dude, saving $500, $600,000, $1,000, whatever their trip's going to cost. At the end of the day, who gives you shit? Spend the money. Go have fun because your life's going to be miserable forever.

Go ask Kevin Clancy. His life's miserable. He's trying to go on vacation right now. It sticks. He's in California right now, and the only thing that are coming out of there is like, this is the biggest mistake of my life. The worst, like, three or four days of the year for him, and it's his vacation. And that's going to happen to all of us.

We're all going to settle down and have kids eventually. Totally. At least have some good memories in the bank where I was like, I'm glad I spent that money to go on that trip with my boys. I'm glad we played a bunch of golf and got drunk. You don't want to be Kevin Clance in Kevin Clancy's shoes and not have those old memories. I've never come back from a trip like that where I spent. too much money have been like, oh, that money

wasn't worth it. And you also don't want to be the guy who your friends go and you miss out on all of it and they come back with all these jokes and all these references. They've got those stories forever. Yeah, that actually might be the number one reason why these people should go. You want those memories, but you also don't want to be left out of your friend group when they're like, hey,

remember when Jack fucking pissed all over the place? Every Saturday. We lost a wheel and left the golf cart out there. Right, right. It's like you don't want to be missing out on those things. Every Saturday that you go play with your boys, there's going to be a hundred references that you're just out Like, no, I don't remember that because I suck and I was too, I was a cheap piece of shit and didn't go. Yeah, so that's really it.

I think that's the best answer we could have given. Basically, tell your friends, just send them this segment. Yeah, cut this up. Actually, just send them the whole podcast. Also have them subscribe, rate and review. Buy a shirt, buy towel. Do the whole thing. Yeah.

And then have them listen this. Hey, you fucking idiots, just do it. Just go out and do it. It's fun. It's a no-brainer. Never regretted it. Spend the money. Don't be a cheap piece of shit.

Another guy sent in. So there's a lot of different variations of this, but a lot of people call it poison. It's essentially when you're on the tea, you're waiting for people in front of you, which is one of the worst things in the world. It sucks. You're out there. You're golfing. You're having fun.

You're trying to play, and you just got to wait. A really, really good game is you basically start at one of the T markers and you hit your ball over to the other T-marker. You've got to hit the marker. Every time you hit it, you get to continue your turn. And then once you've hit both T-markers, you can hit the other guy's golf balls. And once you hit their balls, they're out. And it's the last-hand standing, basically. Okay.

But you can't start knocking people's balls out until you've gone across, hit the other T-marker, and then come back and hit the original T-marker, and then you're able to just knock other people's balls out. Okay. And you have done this. Yeah, I've done this. A lot of people play different ways, basically. But what happens is it becomes a wild game at the end because you've both hit both T-markers, or all four of you have or whatever.

And then you're just chasing each other around the golf course, trying to hit the other guy's ball, which is. really hard with like a driver in your hands to hit like a load ball. Right. It's a fun game. Again, it's similar to when we talk about snake and three putting all the time. There's like a million different variations of a similar game.

Sure. But for those of you out there that don't know it, look it up, take that. It's very, very good way. You can bet a ton of money on it, obviously. It's called poison? A lot of people call it poison. Where again, it's basically just a way to play another game. A lot of times you bet like five bucks winner take all, something like that.

So if you're out there, you're bored. play a game of poison you can also wager like shotguns on it we like drinking is a big theme in this show shotgun mulligans don't forget don't forget about shotgun mulligans i feel like we're already starting to get a good amount of submissions of those we have we've gotten we've gotten we've gotten we've gotten the best response and we've had a lot of them shotgun mulligans people love doing those and you got to be fist fucking me yep is unbelievable i we had one guy do a shotgun mulligan and then his friend yelled you got to be fist fucking me and i was the happiest dude in the world i was going to say a lot of people are combining the two which is fine hitting a shitty shot

taking a beer to the face and then yelling, you got to be fist fucking me. Love, you got to be fist fucking me. Shout to Willie Wilcox. Shout out to Willie. Dead animals, too. A ton of dead animals. We've gotten so many dead animals that I forget how many dead animals we've gotten.

That's how many we get. It's insane. And also, when Pat Perez hit that guy with a drive, we talked about him earlier, people were like, so does he got to eat that spectator? Hilarious tweets, the people who are doing that. Tush. I don't know if he would.

We'll have to ask that guy. I'll text that guy and ask. We got one more. Connor asked. He said he, so Connor played college golf. He said he was the worst player in his team by a mile. Terrible,

but he got all the perks, so it was fun. Anyway, one of his buddies, one of his best buddies now, was one of the better guys in the team. Pro golfer on a mini tour somewhere, said,

this guy Connor gets to be the caddy. He's going to caddy for his buddy. One tournament, but of two different weeks, which ones is the worst one to go to or the better one to go to. One's in Honduras and the other one's in Guatemala. And he's basically like, which one is the least dangerous place for me to go?

This is a better question for you because I feel like you know these things. You know history and you know what other parts of the map are. For me, when you say those two things, I'm going to say they're both terrible and awful. I agree. I'm going to say just on a whim, I would rather go Caddy in Guatemala. You would? I don't really know why. Just my gut instinct.

Rob, you have a thought on that? No idea. I have absolutely no idea. So good luck to Carter. I would just wait maybe till he's in America. Yeah, I would just not caddy either of those events. Yeah. Like, I don't think Caddian, I mean, Caddian seems a little fun, but not in, it's probably

hot as shit down there and dangerous. Honduras definitely does not sound good. No, so I would say maybe wait until he's in America on that one. So we got the Honda Classic this week, a little different than Honduras and Guatemala, down in Florida. Florida swing. We got Adam Scott as our defending champ. Yep.

Love this track. This is the bear trap with 15, 16, 17. They have the giant bear on the 15th T. Yep. I've played this course. Didn't play well. Great course. What do you think, Trent, Daddy?

I think it'll be interesting. Justin Thomas is playing. I almost just want to root for Justin Thomas every single week now until he, like, doesn't win. Yeah, he, I'm so confused as to. who, like, the best, hottest golfer really is because JT won back-to-back, shot of 59 in that stretch. And then you look and, like, oh, Hideki Matsiyama wins, and he's won, like, four of his last eight or whatever the hell it was. And then now Dustin Jotson wins. All of a sudden, he's number one of the world.

And it's like, well, he's coming off player of the year. And he won't U.S. open all that. So it's, there's so many good golfers. And we got Eldrick who can't even present a damn trophy. He can't do it. He can't go to press cameras. He can't do any of that. So, yeah, Justin Thomas, that's what I'm most looking forward to in this.

I want to see if he can keep it up. So it's kind of a basically we just said that it's a wide open field, which is interesting because my Twitter source. Here we go. My famous gambling Twitter source. Who was right last week? Who was dead on last week. I took DJ, like I said, plus I think it was $7.50.

Took him one, what a bunch of money. This guy is the cap father is what he is on Twitter. Oh, we've been giving his name out there. He's been DM and me for like a month about Pills. And finally, he just, one of his DMs was like, hey, have you been looking? Because I've been like fucking right every week. And I looked and he was. I was like, oh shit.

So I took DJ and he's correct. He was correct. So we're going to give out his picks again this week. Here's what he said. He said, Rixie, this weekend it's wide open. No speed. No DJ. Said, but I do like Ricky at 15 to 1 coming off a week of rest.

Watched his rider cut buddies win back-to-back weekends. you'll see some good play from Ricky. He said he also likes our boy, Ollie Schneider Jans. What up? At 60 to 1. Can't believe Ollie's 60 to 1. Me either.

Don't hate that at all. He said he's played the best golf out of anyone in that 60 to 1 range, and it's not even close. Capfather really likes East Coast guys coming back to the east after a few tournaments out west. Ollie played at Georgia Tech, so he's probably familiar with PGA National. Those are Capfather's picks.

What do you think of Ricky and our boy, Ollie? I like riding with our guys That's like my favorite thing I think we said all of our guys are playing this week Yep And so if Ollie wins I that feels like I'm winning And that's the moment

That's why I like this is a communal podcast I want Ollie to do well Yeah I agree I'm always gonna put a little coin on our guys Especially we chirped current a little bit For being like 10 million to one to win or something this week He thought that was funny Yeah he thought that was funny

He also might have been a little mad at me Because I couldn't really tell He's you know what you caught him in a good spot Because he is he's like He likes to sports gamble now So he was really into it. So he was probably like, oh, I want to know my odds anyway. So he's probably not as maddie.

He would probably still a little bit. Yeah, on the gambling front, he was all pumped up about it, which caught me, caught me off guard a little bit. Love gambling. Love it. Huge gambler.
