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

Bro, 100. Now you've got to break 90. We appreciate what you guys do for golf. It's been really cool. Thank you. You're making it cool. I was like, hey, Phil, you only fucking 2999. And he grabs 100.

He's like, yeah, I won 90,000 of these yesterday. He goes, take 100 and go fuck yourself. What? What are you that different? It's ain't a hobby. Foreplay, presented by Barcelona Sports. It is, we're going to time jump here. We're going to time hop.

It's Tuesday. I believe August 22nd, 2020. But it's not Tuesday. August 22nd, 2003. It's Sunday. It's Sunday. We're doing a weird recording. We're all over the place.

We got Long Island Classic on Monday. A bunch of people are going to be out there. We're all going to be out there at your guys kind of a home spot. So we're doing a time jump. I don't know how we're going to handle it on Sunday. But we're going to try. The BMW has even finished yet. Max is kind of up there,

war is up there, kind of a crazy leaderboard, which is what you're going to get in the playoffs. It kind of dwindles down to so many folks. Bright Harmon's playing really well. But we don't know who won yet, fellas. Congratulations to Max,

Max, home on winning the BMW. That's a great win for him. It's a huge win. I know he made that triple. Saturday. But yeah, congratulations to him. That's just a huge, huge win. Yeah, for Matt Fitzpatrick to finish the season with a victory, I think, is just massive for the Europeans going into the Ryder Cup. It feels like there's been a lot of talk about the U.S. team who's going to make

and who's not going to make it. So for Matt to Cap, it was really not the best year, apart from that win at the Heritage with another victory, it's just really big for him at the end of the season. You knew Rory McRoy was going to win because he just shows up. You know, the FedEx is kind of his thing. He's a moneymaker. He's an ATM guy. That's just what he is. He's a human ATM. And yeah, this fucking guy just came.

I don't know what he did. I really don't know what he did today. But I know that he just won. You know, I don't know how he did it. I don't have my contacts in. And when we first hopped onto the show, I thought that Danny's screen was me.

And I almost said, and I almost said, where is Danny? Like when we were starting. And then he goes, let's do it. And I'm like, oh shit that wasn't me that whole time i think it's because of the hat maybe all i know is like from my vantage point with my near-sightedness i thought that was me man like swear to god really weird feeling we both are wearing a hoodie and a hat so there's there's some similarities yeah i was like in the

corner of my i'm just like oh that's my screen that's that's rigs and we're waiting how blind are you dandy without without your contacts how blind are you i'd say pretty blind yeah i think in the mornings i'm more blind but i'm pretty blind but like my my prescription's not the craziest so i don't know i don't know i just can't like it just looked like me that's all i got to say congratulations to roer mackerel for winning you know the bmdbw in chicana was i was gonna say um lucas glover you know two wins in a row wasn't enough so three wins probably gets him on the rider cup team so congratulate what a comeback what an unbelievable comeback from lucas with the swamp ass and the whole situation the whole deal um we don't know who the fuck ryan harman just fell short

so hey scottie scottie schfler up there just couldn't couldn't couldn't quite make the putts I needed down the stretch. Good tournament, though. Really good. Great tournament. Is Scotty back on the, he's got like a spider? I looked. Is that correct?

Yeah, he's got like a custom spider. They made him more like the weight is more forward or something. So it feels like a blade, but he's using the, yeah, it's back in the tailorman. It's nice. Back in the family. Yep. We like to see that. We very much like to see that.

I have a quick, I have a quick airline story. I'm going to shout out United Airlines. I'm going to shout out United Airlines because I arrive in Newark. Check three bags. We were all in Charlotte. We're doing a whole deal. I arrive. I only have two out of the three bags.

Go to the baggage office. They say, your bag was sent to a different terminal. I said, well, I was my bag sent to a different terminal? I say, we're not sure, but your bag's in terminal C. You're currently standing in terminal A. I said, all right. Somebody going to bring it over here. They go, nope, you got to get on a bus.

You got to go over there. You got to get it. I said, well, I got golf clubs. I got all kinds of stuff. And this guy, this absolute hero, goes, no problem. Sprints, he gets one of those. carts. He throws all my shit on a cart, takes me to the bus, taps the lady on the shoulder that's standing in front of the bus. He says, you make sure this guy gets on the bus that goes

to Terminal C with all this stuff. And I said, thank you so much. Everybody can't do everything perfectly. You guys messed up, but you're doing everything you can, which is all that we ask. So anyways, we get there, I get over to Terminal C. I stand in line for whatever, 10 minutes. I finally get my bag. And then I got to say, it's the most, I welcome back to New York thing of all time where I go, I call an Uber. I go stand outside. And it's been probably an hour and a half since I landed at this point. I go stand outside.

I'm waiting for my Uber. And the guy calls me. He goes, the whole thing shut down. There's no way I could get in. I said, I'm looking at Uber's everywhere. There's a thousand Uber's I'm looking at.

You got to be able to get here. So he's on the phone going back before me. And then he calls me back and he goes, hey, I'm going to be driving by in like one minute. And if you're not ready to go, I'm going to miss you. And if I miss you, it's going to cost me like an hour. I'm like, all right, I'm fucking ready, man. I'm ready to go.

And right as he, I think, I'm looking on the GPS, is about to come. This guy, Lance says, big fan, says hi. So we're chit-chat. And I'm like, Lance, look, I've had a long day. I can't miss this Uber at this moment. This is a huge moment. So I'm chatting with this guy, but I'm like, I don't want to ignore you, Lance. And then right as the whole thing's happening, this lady just falls down.

And I mean, like, she's got a cane. she's got a huge brace on her knee and she's with her like probably 16 year old daughter and this lady just falls down cane everywhere luggage everywhere and the daughter just starts crying like the daughter doesn't in any way help like doesn't move a muscle she just stands there hold her luggage and just starts crying so me and this other guy go over there and help this lady up i've got the cane he's got her the daughter at this point hasn't moved a muscle my phone is going nuts my uber guys calling me i can't pick it up i'm like this lady fell so i missed the uber i have to get a completely different uber the guy drives by i stand there for another 15 minutes and this fucking girl the 16 year old girl just cries she just

stands there and cries for probably 10 minutes straight didn't move a muscle just cries while her mom was like laying on the floor we're trying to help her up eventually end up getting in the uber I called the guy. I'm like, you wouldn't believe it. I know I missed you. I said I was going to be ready. Lance said hi, and then this lady fucking felt out.

It was just complete chaos. It was the most welcome back to New York thing of all time. So it's nice to be back in New York. You just, you can't, you can't fabricate the chaos that goes on here. And there's kind of a, there's kind of a beauty to it.

If we're going to be honestly each other, there's kind of a beauty to the just complete shit show that goes on in this place. The only thing I can take away from all of this is that at some point, you're going to find yourself on a no fly list with all of these confrontations you've had at airports because I just can't imagine how that they've all been going smoothly. There's just no way. You're on like a three or four week stretch of just talking to people moving around the airports, probably aggressively trying to get places. And there's no way that you don't have a couple of pictures hanging up at some sort of in some sort of Delta suites or in the co-workers' rooms,

like when they're getting their waters and they're putting in their lunches, there's a picture of you somewhere. And are we sure that all these things are actually happening and it's not just you eating too many of those mushrooms before you go to the airport? Because I've, the frequency with which, the frequency with which you're getting into dire situations at the airport is beginning to become concerning. When this lady fell down with the cane and everything, I said, you got to be fucking shit in me. There's just no. There's just, there's just no way. I was going to say, like, we, we, we flew from Charlotte to New York, whatever day that was.

And I was just going to tell my tale of just a normal airport experience. I got on the plane, it landed. You know, it's about a four minute walk to. the baggage area. My clubs were there about two minutes later. I grabbed them. I walked out to the Uber. The Uber took about four minutes.

And then he pulled right up and I put my bags and I got home in about 45 minutes. No one like fell or anything. No, it was pretty normal, you know, pretty standard airport experience for me. I was on the same flight with Alex Bush. And I text him like an hour later. I said, I'm still at Newark. I have not left there. He said, you got to be, you got to be kidding me.

He was at home. He'd like cook dinner already. So it's just, you know, sometimes you get some bad breaks. That lady, I hope she's all right. She handled it. She probably handled it 5,000 times better than her daughter. I would say her daughter was just not ready, not ready. Like her, her, that, her offspring there is not ready for anything to occur.

Like she just. Well, if you got to, if you, if you're already holding a cane, I feel like you've already had a couple of falls so you kind of know the deal. And that would be my guess. I'll say her cane too was probably 10 feet. Like it was probably 10 feet away from her. That's like the fall was a substantial fall. And she couldn't handle it better. She was super,

super friendly and handled it great. But yeah, she fell down. I missed my fucking Uber. It was a whole deal. But anyways, we're back. Chevrolet,

baby, the bowtie, the whole deal. Now they got EVs for everyone everywhere. You should go to Chevy.com slash electric. I've seen them all over the place. I've been seeing Chevy's for, well,

they've been around for 100 years. I haven't been seen them for 100 years. I'm not 100 years old. But I saw, I've been seeing the electric Silverado cruising around, right a bit. Oh, that thing is just a fantastic vehicle, fellas. Yeah, great vehicle. I was in Africa and there's a lot of Impala's. And every time that they said Impala, I said, wow, like the iconic Chevrolet Bowtie. It's nice. That's nice. I was waiting for that one. I was waiting for that

Chevy. With transportation needs for the last 100 years, they've always been there for you before. Who better to take you into the next phase, which is obviously electric vehicles. They've been in the EV game for a while now. They're selling hybrids, all electrics for over a decade. Chevy is a trusted brand with innovation and with scale and the bow tie. So do yourself a favor. Don't do it for us. Don't do it for Chevy. Do it for you. Go to Chevy.com slash electric. Go to that link. Go to that site. Check out a bunch of these iconic models that they have, how beautiful they are. And now they're in this phase, this era, the electric vehicle era. So do yourself a favor. Go to Chevy.com slash electric. Colonial Springs tomorrow, right? This is your guys, this is your guys track. I feel like I've

seen this joint all over the place is looking fucking pure right now. The course is running so smooth. The greens are lightning and firm and just everything is perfect. Gene, the super there has gotten the place dialed in. Dan, the pro is just so excited for us to be there. The place looks amazing. Everyone that's been there so far from bar stool that's like gone to set up is like this place is insane. Like, I'm telling you, it is a diamond in the rough in that area. It's legitimately in the middle of a million cemeteries. You would never know this place existed. It's like, how is there a golf course here with all the really good golf on Long Island? You've never heard a colonial. Now of a sudden you're in this place. There's a million, like I said, tombstones to your left and your right.

And then you look straight ahead. It's just a fucking pure track. I played last night or yesterday. I played it like basically all day yesterday. Texas train never answered me. So it was really, you know, We needed a fourth. And then when you ask someone to be the fourth and they don't respond. When you don't respond, though, like, it's, you're waiting for that person to respond. So then you're, you're like waiting to text other people. So then you just end up having three because you're like, well, I don't want to ask this guy.

And then Trent, like, comes. Then you have five. And then you put yourself in a bad situation. So, like, three adults are standing there waiting for Trent to answer. And then we didn't. We waited an hour. So I ended up getting a guy on the range to play with us. And the guy shot at 67 in our group.

So that was, same thing. It's like me. It was like me. Just some random guy? He's always there. He, like, plays mini tour events. I think he's, like, trying. His name is Todd Green.

Did I show up? His name is Todd Green. No, he played 18. His name is Todd Green. And he shot a 67 and absolutely just rinsed us. It was like, I mean, how would you pick up a guy that just fucking shoots five under? That's just not a real number, right? To go out there and go even on the front and five under on the back was just, it was a sight

to behold. Eagle, three birdies or two birdies, or three birdies. It was incredible. It was an incredible round to experience. And you just get to see like, that guy is so fucking good. And he's like, I'm trying to go through like stage one next year, which I guess he was talking about like Q school. And I'm like, we were just at the fucking corn fairy. Like this guy is so good at golf.

And I don't even know that he's close to what the guys are doing that we saw in Chicago. Like I don't even know if it's the same level. And I saw him just destroy. the golf course that I can't even come close to playing well on. Yeah. One of my favorite things is all these members in these East Coast courses or people thinking that like, oh, these Corn Fairy guys aren't that good, maybe they're just playing bad courses.

Where the Corn Fairy is this week, Matita Kunk in Southern Jersey is known as like one of the hardest courses in the area. It's like there was this whole hoopla before the tournament that the course record was 67. And a lot of the members were, which is pretty high for a course record. record and the members were saying yeah you know I think it might hold up this week the second group second group someone shot 65 it's just like when these guys come to town your golf course just it just isn't as hard as you think it is you know what i mean yeah no i i totally get me mean yeah we saw some the corn very tour really opened our eyes to just how fucking good these levels of

golf are we've obviously seen the pGA tour our whole lives and then you go to a place and you get to see it up close for seven days like we did from that at the glen club and it's just different man it's different i hadn't seen like um like an amateur tear up a golf course like that in a long long time i don't know if i've ever really been in a group where a guy shot 67 just like kind of just putzing around like with us like playing a match like it wasn't even he wasn't really even paying attention and he was missing a lot of puts like me and my buddy in the cart were like this guy can't make a put today and at the end of the round i'm like dude 67 that was fucking insane. Yeah, Kagan said this inside gig. He's like, no matter how hard the course is,

like, Hattie and I always talk about like someone's going to shoot seven under today. Like, someone's just going to, someone's just going to do it. It happens every single day. And then I thought to myself like that's, it's almost like a bad place to be. I mean, obviously that guy is playing incredible golf and he like had a great Saturday. I mean, he made a ton of birdies. He made an eagle. He won his match. We paid, we paid him like $400, basically. We got rinsed every single which way and every single press possible. And then you got to like think that you're going home and you're like fuck man i'm like not far i'm far off but i'm not far off like i'm like somewhat there compared to the rest of humanity

yeah you can't look away because you feel like you're you're actually with the touching distance which is no he's cruising drives like over 310 315 he's just right down the middle his irons are on the stick like he's there like there's not that much more there is that much more but there's not you know what I mean comparable to like people behind him he's way ahead unless he shoots like 58 he probably it probably sucked for him like the whole day probably sucked because he's just it's like he's hitting it straight he's hitting at the right distance he's like cam young made another porn that must be inferior absolutely infuri good golf is yeah there's like levels of mental golf as you get better probably have to just fucking tear your brain apart uh I I think I texted you guys

this but um 12 year old p who defeated me in a match public match um who's now 15 old is he now he's now 15 i think he's like he's a plus five i think he's gonna be a sophomore maybe he uh he him and his family uh took him out to liberty national like two weeks ago and we played from i think we played from like 6800 67 50 and he shot seven under 65 with i believe he had two three put pars and like you're saying for now by no account did he putt great like he actually missed a lot of putts i think he felt like he left a ton out there just a seven under 65 he's 15 years old just just 15 years old it was just every fucking shot right where he wanted to hit it he's hitting cuts with the driver when he wanted to he's hitting draws with the driver when he wanted to and i'm just

like this fucking guy he's 15 years old big smile on his face couldn't have played faster we're just ripping through it's like i even notice we're on the tea yet bang missile down the middle like 310 down the middle every time it was fucking unbelievable so and he's just smiling laughing like he wasn't even trying so he's not even fucking try it he shoots a good 765 so good golf is um is frustrating it's gonna be the most barstool bounce of all time when when he becomes a pj superstar and we just get to follow his entire career we need that we need that really yeah really badly we had to lock him up just 15 year old pete 12 year old pete who's 15 lock him up we're gonna look like complete idiots if we don't lock him up be like we knew this guy when he was 12 watched his

entire trajectory he became a superstar and he's fucking rocking the first two the first tool barstool uh like athletes to go from prep to pro or this guy in charlie woods we signed both them up and we have them ready to go for the rest of their careers i could say i could always say i beat him i think he gave me eight strokes i beat him on eight he beat him gross well yeah well he yeah he he no i beat him and gave me, you know, I got him beat him net. I didn't realize, I didn't know. Well, I didn't know if when he was 12 year old Pete, what was his handicap? He was like an eight.

No, he was a, he was like a scratch when he was 12. I think 12 was like a scratch. Oh, so you didn't buy that he could beat you, Riggs, even though he was, because he was 12, he was 12, he thought you could like lean on him. Well, yeah, I mean, his dad, Mike, who's a good friend of mine now was like my, we see you're in Pinehurst. My 12 year old can beat you in a match. I was like, done.

I'll fucking play your 12 year old. And he beat me. I think he beat me three and two. So I didn't, I wasn't like grinding on his handicap. I was like this kid. And he was like, now he's an adult. I mean, he's 15. He's like in high school.

He's a person. Yeah, he's a grown man. Right. Yeah, we talk about cigars and. In between shots, he's looking at me. He's like, oh, like Mr. Riggs, that's for me and my brother fish over there. And it's like cute. And then it was a good match.

And now he's just hitting it 300 yards down the middle. So he's a different person now in a very, very impressive way, very impressive way. I got to say a lot of a lot of comments about the old chocolates that we kind of magic chocolates that we talked about. People are jones in for the link for these things. So I don't know if we need to start our own. Probably Rick's. Our own chocolate company. But it's like I could I could post anything about any Peter Millar or all this.

We don't get the attraction that the golden that the, we're not going to say the full name. I almost said the full name. But these bad boys, we got to get some sort of. investment going in this thing. I mean, it worked on me. I ordered them and I got a bunch of them and I took one last night. It's the operation. Give us the review. Well, yeah. So I rigs him and I talked in Charlotte about because I told him on the podcast. I was like very interested in it. So he gave me all the information, whatever I ordered it. It came in a day. Again, this, the, the company that runs this is a well-oiled machine. So they just go to boom, boom, and they send them to you. I took one last night just to sort of,

you know, weighed into the waters. I don't want to go too crazy. and nothing really happened. I got a little bit more tired. I felt a little stoned, probably just like, not even that crazy, but it's a really low dosage. Like, I would have to take probably three of them to like get things going, but I just wanted to take one to test it out. And I definitely felt more relaxed and I felt more tired, but I didn't get the full experience.

But I ordered enough that at some point I'm going to take the full experience. But yeah, no, I like it. I like getting into this world. The one was perfect because, like I said, it just made me tired and a little high. I'm kind of thinking at the classic tomorrow I might take two or three and just like later in the day and just see where we're at. I got to do it. I can't do it in public yet. I can't I got to do it on my own time.

But at some point I'll probably take three like on a Friday or Saturday and just see what happens. But it's an interesting world. Shout out to our merch team to Frankie's idea with the Maui Relief. I think we've raised over $30,000 with the t-shirt that we put out where 100% of the net proceeds are going to relief, going to help from the wildfires out in Maui. Fantastic shirt. One of the better shirts we've ever made, I would say. Yeah, and I'm bringing that shirt, Frankie, as Frankie suggested, we're going to get Colin Mori Cow with some shirts because he's been a big inspiration. I'm going down to Atlanta next week.

Also going to have to give Tommy Fleetwood a hoodie from our merchandise to keep that traditional life. So Frankie, what an idea. What an execution. Yeah. Just I will, it's a, it's a pretty common thing here at Barso where like you just, you know that you can do something good with all the dumb stuff that we do because we have such an amazing fan base. And when the idea comes to your head, it's like a no brain to just do it.

And everyone like green lights it on the back end. Erica, I text Erica. She's like, yep, love that shirt. And like, just go ahead. Go do it. Pilar just immediately just gets it up on the site within an hour. And then a day later, it raised 30. That's like the definition of the Barstle fan base of what we're able to kind of do when we're not just like pushing 20% off sales and new Peter Malar shirts and all that stuff.

Like obviously that all does great. That's how we are able to have jobs. That's how Barstall is able to go. But when we like say, hey, we're going to put on a really cool product that also is going to just go to a really great cause because those people, they need money. I mean, in Maui, you're seeing devastation. It's the numbers, the death tolls are rising every single day. No one knows actually what's going on. they're not going to be able to recover for a long time.

So every single dollar that's going to Maui United Way is helping all the families that lost somebody, all their houses, everything. So yeah, it's amazing. So thanks to everyone that's bought one. Hopefully you guys get it soon. I think the way like when they do the charity shirt, the way it works when you get the charity shirt is like, I think you wait a little bit longer because they're not able to like know how many shirts they're going to end up making.

We made like thousands of shirts. So I think they're going to now print them and then send them out. So it might be a little bit longer than what we would have like when we have them in stock we can send them out the day after you purchase them so just stay patient you'll get them um and thanks to everyone that bought pretty pretty fucking cool and we do have we have merch at east lake right that's that's that yeah an announcement oh yeah i'll be there oh wow dan you're gonna be back on site you haven't been on site in a while i feel like i've been back on site yeah i haven't been on site in a little while that's right because i miss the open championship i'm excited um

gonna gonna see the top 30 the last tournament I'm in before the Router Cup picks. There's always a little bit of tension. Atlanta, great city, staying in Buckhead, one of my favorite places on the road. Might be some Netflix action going on next week. That's just a rumor. I'm not sure about that, but that might be involved. So it's a big week next week.

I'm going to be back. Buckhead is a great area. We stayed there for the Super Bowl when it was in Atlanta. High class. Like Buckhead's got crazy money. Yeah, I like that. It makes me happy. It does.

I know. but like just really, really good like great restaurants. Jesus. Great restaurants. Great, uh, bars. Like we, we did put punk at this bar.

Forget the bar's name, but it was like we fucking tore the roof off that place. Was it like Jackson really showed up. Jack, I can't remember, man. My brain's mashed. If you think I'm remembering that from like six years ago, you're insane.

But, um, that was a fucking hell of a, that was a hell of a Super Bowl when we went there to Atlanta. That was the Patriots or no. Who won that one? That was the Atlanta Super Bowl was... What year was it? Because the Patriots lost of the Eagles in Minnesota.

18 maybe? Was it 2018? So who would... Was it the Eagles? No, the Eagles beat them in Minnesota. I think it was Patriots. Yeah, I think the Patriots won. Was that Patriots Rams?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Patriots. Not a great Super Bowl. Not a great Super Bowl. But good lead up. Atlanta's cool. I like Atlanta. Is it going to be hot as balls?

Because I remember we were there. Obviously, we were there for the Super Bowl. It was like cold when we were there. But again, different time of year. I'm sure it'll be. It's usually hot, you know, August. You know, Eastlake's got some renovation. So excited to see what that looks like.

More just excited to be out there for a little bit. I don't know, you know, with this fall schedule, not really having much juice anymore. I don't know when the next time I'm going to be out of the golf tournament is. So you got to make them count. You never know which one's your last. Lucy, nicotine gum pouches and breakers all have three. Three things in common.

No tobacco, powerful nicotine and delicious, delicious flavors. Lucy's breakers are nicotine pouches, which post up in your lip. They chill there releasing sweet, sweet nicotine. This is right up our very good friend, Dan Rapoport's alley right here. Yeah, nicotine in golf, that will definitely be part of the round today. So, Lucy, shout out to Lucy for helping us out, you know, when you're tired, when you need a little jolt of adrenaline, whatever it might be, that sweet nicotine kick. There's just nothing like it.

There's just nothing like it. Sorry, kids. There's nothing like it. The Lucy's breakers have something that no other pouches do, a little capsule inside each and every one. You break it with your teeth to release nicotine way faster than other pouches. Lucy pouches are heftier than other nicotine pouches. They don't get all wet and slippery.

Frank, you got a pop-punk performance coming up at the Barstool Awards. Is that right?

Yeah, I'm not sure what that's going to consist of because I know we're streaming it, so I don't know how much music we can even play. Like, we're basically doing like the walkups. Like, we're like the roots of like Jimmy Fallon, like the Tonight Show. So I'm not sure if we can like play a full song because it's going to be on YouTube and like broadcast it and they don't want to like demonetize it all. It's very interesting. And I don't know if we're doing like a concert after.

I really know nothing about it. I just know it's going to be the party of the century because it's the bar still 20th anniversary and we're all dressing up real nice and everyone's going down the red carpet and then I just got to play. I basically told Pup Punk, I got my bandmates that whatever we play, I'll just like play to it. Like we're not really going to get much practice in. Wait, so if you're on YouTube, you can't play, you can't even cover songs and you get in trouble. It was like, there was a couple of emails back and forth, I think, with David Blatman. And he's like, these are the rules. And I just don't know that anyone really. I mean, I'm sure they all

know. But. And I, and I could be speaking out of my ass. I don't. know that that's the final decision. I've got so many group chats and I've got so many things going on. Pickleball and Barstool Golf and fucking punk. It's just there's a lot. We're wearing many hats right now. It's just we're trying to schedule practices, like band practices. It's like it's a lot.

So hopefully it goes well. I'm kind of nervous about it. It's like the biggest show that we're going to do all year because it's like the Barstil 20th Awards. And I'm going to be up there playing the drums. Like if you just, if I suck, it's like it's going to ruin the show. So hopefully. I ordered a tuxedo that I still have to try on.

So if that doesn't fit, then I'm fucked. So it's funny. That's a big moment. It'll be funny either way. True. That's a good point. You just bursting out of that thing. It's like, I think I ordered big because I didn't want to be bursting out.

I'd rather to look like Tracy McGrady than some like just I look huge. I was thinking about running back my Devon Tave's wedding outfit because I was such an iconic, such an iconic viral. Like, what the fucks this guy wearing fit? And I have it. It's just sitting there. Is that a turtleneck? The turtleneck, man. The turtleneck underneath the suit was so, it was such a move to wear.

Danny, you know, you weren't on the show at this time, but I went to a hockey player's wedding. It was during COVID. I've seen the picture, I think. And I thought that going to a hockey player wedding, you got to dress like different. Like, you can't just wear a fucking suit with a collar and a tie. This was like, this was. And I'm like, so I legit went to the mall and I looked at all the mannequins at all these like high end places. And I'm like looking at what's like in.

style and I saw this suit and I wore legitimately off the mannequin like exactly the way they had his setup and or it's set up and and I miss it was a swing and I was the only person that was collarless at the whole wedding the only only person without a collar and everyone was talking about it like you look like the rock dude I wore it I wore it to try and blend in and not be talked about I just got it wrong. Sometimes you get it wrong, man. I thought that I'd be in the majority wearing something different. And I'm telling you, bro, everyone at the table was like, what are you wearing?

Like saying to me, like coming up to me being like, what are you wearing? You know that that's a feeling's horrible. Yeah, that's exactly what you were trying to avoid. It's like the meme with the guy with the backwards hat is like, how you doing kids? You thought you were going to show up and everyone was going to be in like ripped shirts and something cool. And it was just house to me. Devon comes up to me. He's like, thanks for coming.

And in my ear, he's like, no, no collar, like turtleneck. And I was like, oh, my God. I liked the red suit you wore it upfronts last year. No, dude. I looked like Pee-Wee Herman, rest and pee. Yeah. Yeah, that was great. I like that one, too.

That one was, I love that one. I got to get a fit. I haven't, I haven't figured out my feet. Speaking of hockey guys, Matt Barzell was on the golf course yesterday. Look at this guy's legs. Yeah. Those are nice. Jesus.

That's a guy. Vascular. These are people that are just not us. you know i was like what do you i was like what are you pushing these days he's like 3% body fat i don't even know what that means i don't even know what that means i think i'm like 17 he said 3% that's a stunningly low number i think i'm at this fucking i'm on this like smart uh you're supposed to step on the scale i'm supposed to tell your body fat told me i was like 14.7 the other day that's still pretty good no it's not i think it's pretty fucking high man i think that's pretty good bro i think i'm i think

like athletes are... That feels high. That feels high. Sub seven. Yeah, but those are professional athletes. Dude, wasn't there like, wasn't there that story that like, if a team was, like a basketball team was over like 8% body fat, like they couldn't be on the team? It was like, I thought it was like, is it the Celtics or something? Yeah.

That is Dan's point. Those are like the most finely tuned bodies on planet Earth. I don't know that you can hold yourself up to that. I mean, I know. I know. So what it says here, it says for for people age 20 to 39, which is. Women should aim for 21% to 32% of body fat. Men should have 8% to 19%.

8% to low. 4% 14% is right in the middle of the aim period. I am, I'm like a middle. Yeah. Yeah, you're, you're doing just fine. I'm going to bring this scale to, I'm bringing this scale to colonial tomorrow.

We're going to see everyone's body fat. No chance. I won't come. I won't come to the classic. I'm legit, probably like 42% body fat. This guy's, it's flubber too. Oh, dude. No, I, it's, I'm in a bad spot, like probably worse than I've ever been. I'm just, I'm just fat right now. And I, I, I don't see the train stopping anytime soon. I've just been enjoying myself. And every time I think about eating better or working out, I just deny it and I move on. I eat Arby's. I saw a tweet yesterday saying, you're going to die. Enjoy life. And I, it's just doing it, right? The first part just might be coming quicker. But there's got to be a balance of, you know, you can enjoy life and not die. when you're 39.

Like you don't have to enjoy it too much. Yeah. You can enjoy life and go on hikes and be healthy. So there's got to be a part of that. But I'm currently not. I, uh, I ate a lot of popcorn and candy yesterday.

I went and saw Barbie, uh, with Emma. She's been really big on me seeing Barbie. And I felt like, well, I felt like there was a lot of pressure on my, what my opinion was going to be of the movie.

Because she kept on being like, oh, like, you know, you need to go into this with an open mind. Like, you know, I know you've heard all this stuff.

So I just, decided to fall asleep 30 minutes in. So I slept through basically the whole movie. So I was like, yeah, like what I saw. You know what I mean? Like, so I basically took the, the escape hatch to having an opinion on the movie.

I just said, no, I'm just going to sleep. I still haven't seen you yet. I'm going with an open mind. I mean, there's been a lot of hate. And I think all the hate is stupid.

Visually it was very cool. Visually it was like pretty awesome. The set design and, you know, I'm a colorblind. From what I gather, it was like pretty amazing with the pink situation going on there. Um,

but I did fall asleep. before like the messaging of the movie came through. So I mean, 10 o'clock movie, come on. I'm a married man these days. That's just insane. Yeah, 10 p.m. Yeah, that's what I said. That's what I said.

Yeah, movies like a thing you do that night. You're like, oh, what do you want to do now? Let's go see a movie. 10 p.m. The night's already over. Like, that's a post night event. Yeah, like we went out and we were like, we had drinks in Manhattan and we had dinner and then we saw the movie.

It was like the end. It was too much. It was too much. I was already winding down. But I was very happy. with the execution there because I can say that, you know, I went and saw the movie. I didn't hate it. I also didn't really have an opinion because I slept through 57% of it.

I'm excited to see it. I like Ryan Gosling. I like Margo Robbie. He's very funny in it. It's very silly. It's very like silly and kind of self-aware. It's interesting. I thought it was a serious.

I thought it was a real, you know, real gripper. Well, I was expecting, you know, you hear all the stuff about it's like, you know, commentary on this and that and it might have been but I felt asleep so I don't know all I saw was pink what I thought to be pink. Am I seeing that there a hurricane is hitting California? I feel like that doesn't happen right? Not supposed to happen. Yeah, there's like a like a Pacific hurricane or something. Not good. Things are happening. There's a lot of things happening. It's like it's like one of those end of the world movies where you turn on the news and it's like and the and the movie starts and you're kind of just like flip. flipping through the news channels and every news channel's another like fire or fucking something a building's falling down and there's a hurricane in the Pacific Northwest and everyone's like it's there's a lot

of red breaking news and it's all like weather related and and natural disasters it's fucking bizarre it's like the what is that the day after tomorrow that movie where there's like tornadoes in LA and shit that's kind of what it feels like but also I go every other day I flip flop on it like some one day I wake up I'm exactly what we're talking about. I'm like, holy shit, it's chaos out there. The next day I wake up and I'm like, there's been fucking hurricanes and fires going on for the 30,000 years of human history that there's been going.

So I kind of flip-flap on it, but I do think there's not supposed to be hurricanes in California. I've never seen that before. I just looked online and it's like San Diego's getting smoked by a hurricane. That's not supposed to happen. Yeah, I think the water's like not supposed to be warm enough or there's some sort of issue that's happening with the water. I don't know. not good not good

because California we already got those earthquakes which which are not good and the landslides and all that stuff and the landslides yeah fires fires yeah I can't imagine like yeah all that you just I don't know that that terrain's probably built for a hurricane you know it's definitely not it's definitely not yeah and yeah you're right I didn't think about that

earthquakes and fires and mudslides and now we got hurricanes right because it seems like most of it's pretty parsed out like the Midwest gets tornadoes yeah you guys get earthquakes and fires out here it's what is it probably hurricanes is what it is what it is a good it's a good climate it's why so many people live there you know what i mean like it's not extreme yeah but having a hurricane on the west coast is something i've never even heard it's a game changer it's a it's a it's a it's a new category we didn't think we'd have to deal with that's what i mean just keep eating when are you moving when you moving to california is it coming uh it depends

oh yeah it is coming it depends on my wife's job situation But she's got an interview, yeah, she's got an interview, a couple of interviews next week that she's flying out for. So the latest would be November. So, but it might be sooner to pay if I may get to job soon. So soon, it's, it's, we're coming last countdown kind of vibes. I want to play some golf in L.A. I've never played, I've never played golf in the L.A. area. Yeah. We'll do it.

Anytime you want. Anytime you want some great golf out there. We should do we should do some, uh, some content out there. The course that I filmed at with, uh, Blake Griffin, which coming out. on Monday already came out. If you're listening to this podcast, you should go watch it on YouTube. Brow and Country Club, that's where I'm going to be playing in LA. So you'll get a sneak peek of nine holes at least.

Wow, big video coming out. Let's go. Huge. Big video. Yeah, I'm excited. Well,

it's already come out, but I'm excited for it to have already come out. Right, right. Big video that already came out that we're talking about before it came out. So very, very excited. People need to go on to YouTube.

Stu Feiners on YouTube, all kinds of hot stuff. Rough and row. Dude. How about that guy in a video? I was so fucking Stu Fyner. So,

Frank, so it's a, is that the first? Yeah. So it's a, so it's a pleasure and an honor. Yeah.

He, he goes, okay, so now what do I do? Do I put my ball in my pocket? I said yes. What about, he's just,

if you have not watched the Stu Finer video yet after you watch Danny's, because Danny's had already come out last night. So it's going to be kind of like a week in advance now that we're saying it, but you got to be able to just watch all

these videos that are coming out. Because I feel like the quality that we are pushing these things out. And we see, all the tweets in the comments. Yes, we have not played together as a group in a long time. We're obviously all over the place. We're doing a million different things. We run for play differently than the other YouTube brands do. We're basically a business. We got the Barsoe Classic every single week. We've got podcasting every single week. We've got two of them. So it's not as simple as like just popping together and just playing every single day together. When we do

get together, it's going to be even bigger. We're going to San Valley in like two weeks. We're filming like eight to ten videos there. We're going to get the whole crew together. But I don't know that we've ever put out the quality that we're putting out that we have right now. I mean, every single episode is a true, really thought out great episode video, great editing episode. And I just think, yeah, I don't know. We're like, we're really hitting a stride when it comes to quality. And I just want to make sure that everyone understands that I'm proud of that. You know, I think that we're fucking, I think these videos have been really, really good. Dude, our guys grind. Our editors, our producers, They absolutely grind.

And to Frankie's point, like tomorrow will be five weeks since the last time I slept in my own bit. So it's like we are, we are busy this time of year. We're all over the place. We're getting shit done. But we do have,

San Valley is going to be off the charts. I'm insanely excited for that. I can't wait. I can't not wait. It really stuck up. I know. I know. It's like September is coming already,

but we're all going to be together. We're going to have a whole cast of characters, Wisconsin. And then we're working on another one as well. in the late part of fall, I guess it would be early winter. So we will all be together very soon. We might be doing a little, I think we're going to be doing a little ocean front action coming up in like December, fellas. In December. Wait, so.

I don't know what that means. I saw, I saw the, I saw, I saw the country Mexico being tossed around. Whoa. International? Very near Mexico is, we're, yeah, I think it's, is it Putte, Kana is it Costa Rica? There's Casa da Campo wherever the that's that's that's Dominican Republic which I've never been there before.

Oh, um, that's supposed to be amazing. Are we going there? We're considering going there. We've been talking with them. I got to give a shout to my guy, Dan, who's been emailing me for years to come down there and our schedule's insane. Like I said, haven't been home in like a month and a half. Uh, where I think we're going to try to go down there.

I think we're going to try to hit Casa de Campo. It's all. Die teeth, tooth of the dog. Teeth of the dog. of the dog, I think is the name of like the flagship course there that's on the ocean. It's supposed to be fucking incredible. So I think there's a good chance we're going to go there.

So we should have a little Wisconsin action. And we're all going to be together. We're filming a bunch of stuff. And then I think we're going to have a little Dominican Republic action coming as well. Fuck yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That place.

I know like Cabo was tossed around. We were looking at a lot of different places. Dominican Republic's going to be incredible. I just had forgotten that they'd be. and they're like, this guy, Dan works for their basically PR company that they work with and has been trying to get us down there. And when we were like, hey, we have a little bit of a window in potentially December after the Barcelona Classic Championship.

Bang, I think we're going to do it. On the beach, nice little action on the beach. I love the beach. I know Trent loves the beach. So, yeah. That'll be phenomenal. For us, golf is very simple. It's a chance to get out there, have some fun with our friends, Dan, during this show.

I don't know when this ad's going in or when it's not going in or if it's going to be before, after, but Dan gives a great, great hype-up speech about playing golf today. And it's true. It's just the best. You get out. You're outside. It's beautiful out. You have a little competition with your pals. It's as good as it gets. inevitably, little things can get in the way of ruining it. Frankie spoke about how he's had a little toe hook issue going on. He used to have the chipping yips. I had the driving yips last year. All kinds of bad things can happen on the golf course. The group ahead might be taken forever. You don't want that. When you find yourself stressing out over golf, like any of these situations,

Fireball whiskey is there to help you say, F it and free your fire. That's what they wrote. F it and free your fire. Fireball. I mean, the iconic cinnamon flavor. We've all been there before.

Beverage cart rolls around. Hey, we need a little pick me up. We need a little excitement. What are we going to do? Fireball shots. Take those little nips. It's really been iconic for,

I feel like, our entire adult lives at this point, Fireball. Yeah, just, you know, when you're out there, maybe like you're saying, you're a little stressed out. You're not playing how you want.

want to just take a fireball shot relax a little bit fireball has been around now forever like i just it's so iconic that everyone knows what fireball is so like you said when the beverage car rolls up ask for some fireball relax a little bit and have a good day out there absolutely absolutely you just need it when you need it and it just delivers every time fireball is delicious the iconic cinnamon flavor taste fire it goes down easy making it the ultimate crowd pleaser if you're really feeling like upping the ante on the course this weekend make sure to grab the new fireball birdie shot club but is literally a golf club filled with fireball nips. And just in general, remember, remind yourself when you're out there.

You're going to make the day a lot more fun by just grabbing a couple of fireball 50-millimeter shooters and enjoy yourself with fireball whiskey. I played golf with Alex Bush on Friday. I have to give Alex Bush credit. We did three six-hole matches. And Alex Bush, with the two guys we were playing with, and Alex Bush won all three matches. He went three and oh. Wow.

Doubt it. Doubt it. Bush. He didn't win. shit. Wow. So he was, he played well. Yeah, I know he was nervous about, didn't play that well. Oh, yeah. See, always say that too. I just won. I just won. Maybe you're just not as good as you think. Maybe you're just not as good as you are, Alex. That's right. Maybe it's very true. Maybe it's not just, I played shitty every, I played golf with you like 10 times every time you're like, I played so bad. No, he played well enough to get the job done. It was like 30 mile an hour wins out there too. So it was incredibly difficult, which probably helped Alex Bush. Um, but he got the win. Credit to Bushman. And then I wanted to get, how was the Taylor Swift bar?

Bush, was it seen? He went to like this bar where you had to get a ticket. Yeah, I bet it was awesome. Wait, wait, wait, what are you talking about, Taylor Swift Bar? So Friday night, my friends and I went to this like pretty much they just play Taylor Swift all night. It's so freaking corny and nerdy, but it was so much fun. But I was telling Riggs about it. He just remembers it because he has.

where it was and I told him the name like five times and I know that's exactly what's in it I said to Bush I thought you I thought you were talking about I thought you went to LBI and almost like no no no no no no no did you think about going to LBI no no no no that's they say Swifties don't do that because Swifties know that she doesn't want it's just like it's like the pictures of her just like what the fuck is going on it looked pretty affected from the videos I saw wait so what's the what's the PR spin for Swift's on that then, Alex. What do you mean?

All right. So the thing is Swifties don't like try to invade her life and make it living hell. And then she shows up to an LBI restaurant and it looks like a parade is happening out front. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Some are good.

Some are bad, you know? They're claiming those aren't true swifties. They're just like clout chaser. They're just psychotic fucking people. And it feels convenient. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That is. The true swifties only show up when when it's perfect. And then when you buy a ticket. and you're like, oh, I'm going to go see her. No, dude. I'm not trying to go out to the Swifties. I'm not.

I'm not. No, Trent, definitely. Very careful here, fellows. No, no, no. I saw the biggest 50 that I know, the biggest Swifty that I know outside of Alex Bush is Kelly Keyes and I saw her go against what happened at LBI.

So the way you guys, the way you guys talk about Swifties is the way the other people talk about bar stool and foreplay. They're like, we cannot go against those guys. Like, if we cross those guys, it's going to be bad news for us.

Yeah. That's a scary world when you get it. When you go against like Swifties or Beyonce fans, Riders, Rico Riders. He's texting me a couple times with the eye emojis being like, you need me to send these guys after you. Like that with that whole and one thing, he's like,

we're ready to go. I want to be clear, I'm not going after the Swifties. I just wanted an answer on like what happened at LBI because I saw a huge mob of people and it looked like chaos. It was chaos, man. I had a, I had a good laugh.

Famous is wild. I know. The Max, the Max Homer. That's too famous. Yeah, that's, nobody wants to. The Max Homer clip from when he went to the Taylor Swift concert, and he was there with our boy, Connor, who we've told many stories about Connor and how they just got basically bullied by the Swifties because, A, they were talking too much.

So the Swifties behind them were like, it's not social hour, like, shut the hell up. And then I guess, this is a religious experience. Yes. Connor has obviously six, eight. So he just has no choice. Like, he's a problem at a concert. And I guess he was sitting down and then Max tells the story. Eventually he's like, I just had to stand up.

I couldn't see the whole concert. So Connor stands up. And they started like just harassing him being like, get out of the way. Like this is this means so much to us. And I guess at one point he was just like, snapped. It was like, just get better seats. Like I don't know what to tell you. Just get better seats.

So you can go to war with the Swifties. I know Isner went to war with the Swifties too. When we were there, they wouldn't. That was when they famously wouldn't let him go to the men's restroom. He was not allowed to go to the men's restroom. So look, the Swifties are formidable, but I think that we need to tread incredibly lightly. We don't want to go up against them by any stretch of the imagination.

Just as something I saw. That's all. I just saw a bunch of people surrounding a restaurant in Long Beach Island. That's all. Pretty crazy. Great show. Taylor Swift show is just an excellent, excellent show. I'm going to try to go to another one.

We got a, we got another hole in one controversy, fellas. This one's from Mike. and Mike says they're at Band of Dunes are playing the Preserve, which is the part three that we all play. They got 12 people. Nope. So we're the last ones in the course. We're all playing together. We're having a blast.

Sure enough, one of our buddies gets a hole and one on the fourth hole. Obviously, everybody goes crazy. One of the first comments is drinks are on Tommy. He said Tommy immediately calls out that it's a part three course on himself. He says it's not a real hole in one. And he denies to buy drinks for everyone. So it's not a question of, which we've debated. before. This is actually putting that debate to the test of if you're Tommy and you get this ace

on the fourth hole with the preserve, are you then liable to be buying drinks for everyone like you got a normal ace? No, you are not. Riggs, may I bring back to memory when you were with us and my friend got a hole in one at the cradle on that third hole where everyone was watching? And then we all took shots and he very clearly did not pay for them. So I think if I think that's the rule. If it's a par three course, it's just it just doesn't count. You can't have it both ways. You can't have the glory of the whole and one and not paying for it.

But if you're going to, if you're going to voluntarily not take the glory of the whole and one one, then I think you can keep the money in your pocket. Yeah, I mean, I'm not getting into this whole and one shit anymore. I'm saying everything's a whole one. All whole ones are created equal, except the fact that I got one on a part three, like two years ago or however. long it's been and no one let me keep it. So I'm, I'm going to keep a hard stance on that, that par three's or not, because then I would just have one. So, I mean, I don't know. I really

don't fucking care about whole and ones anymore. My take about whole and ones last week have really ruined the, you know, the prestige behind the hole in one. They've really dampered my mood when it comes to the ace in the game of golf. Maybe one day I'll get one and I'm sure everyone told me to go fucking kill myself. Yeah, it doesn't count for me. That's, I've been on the par three thing for a long time. So I think keep the money. I guess I still think it's crazy to not buy the drinks. I feel like that would eat. I don't know. I guess it puts me on the side that it's a whole on one. But it is like a moment thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, of course I'm going to buy drinks. I got a whole and one on the preserve. You're probably fourth holes overlooking like the ocean.

It's like we're just going to be like no. Streets are expensive, bro. You're not buying. That's crazy to take that stand. Come on. Come on. I think you got to. I think you got to be like, yeah. dude like we celebrated we went why would they celebrate why would you celebrate somebody else like you're celebrating because it's the whole one i also think the whole like the whole thing about you have to buy everybody drinks when you make a whole one's like the craziest thing of all time i agree everyone should be i everyone should be buying you a drink you just i did something great now i got to pay three grand like i don't understand what what's happening the opposite of every celebration in the world like oh you got married and like you're handing out money to everyone

because you got married that'd be so fucking bizarre like every good bone in your life you're spending it out. Yeah. You don't get many good moments like that. You can't have people buy you a drink for that. That's crazy. I'm not dying on this fucking one now. I'm not having a million people be in my life.

Frank it keeps talking and then he's like, I'm not doing this. I'm just going to say I'm not doing this. I made a hole in one this weekend. So if you're going to start counting hole in ones, I made a hole in one. And PGA tour 2K 23 took me eight hours and 37 minutes to do it. But I fucking did it.

And everyone's like, well, you played the whole over a million times. I'm like, It's a fucking video game. It's a video game. I don't know how your voice survives. I don't know how you, because you go to that octave where you hear the vibration of the throat.

And if I do that, I'm done. Guys, I was sick again this week. Sixth time. I was talking about this. That's pathetic. This is the sixth time I've been sick since I joined Barstool, where it's not just like I have a cold. It's like I'm on my ass.

Can't get up six. I think getting sick. like that in the summer's pathetic. I think it's impossible to get like the flu in the summer. I'm afraid that I have like a terminal disease. I think I'm going to go in and get like all this blood work because I'm actually scared vulnerable person. You got to take vitamins or something. Yeah. Do you do you take anything? Do you are you Trent, dude, and Riggs, do you guys during the summer? I feel like that's a fall or winter thing. Like you start to get sick like every five years. For like two or three days. That's it. I definitely get sick in the winter, but not this isn't like the sniffles.

dude this was like on my couch like taking a cold sweat nap for four hours on a Friday afternoon. It's bad. It's really bad. I just feel like I there's just nothing I can really do. There's nothing I can do it. You need to emboldened your immune system somehow. I don't know how you do it, but you need to. Wasn't that thing during COVID where they said like COVID couldn't spread during the summer because like once it hit the the heat or the light like it wouldn't like go. I don't know any of that. And then Trump said they should beam sunlight. Some light. People's on. Yeah. But I mean, I think I think if that idea is true, the fact that you keep relentlessly getting sick during the summer shows that no matter what, even if the odds are stacked against the germs, you're still receiving

them and they're still just overtaking your body. Yeah, there's also the chance that I have like malaria from Africa. So that's, yeah. So I'm on some antibiotics, which, you know, I'm starting to feel better. But way to dampen the moon down, either this job, either how weak you are. Either my brain is just not, I can't, I can't handle bar. school sports or I have malaria. Vitamins is my only

suggestion, but who knows? Yeah, well, I don't know how my voice stays because I did. I screen for like eight hours and 95 minutes, even though that's not a real unit of measurement. I, I fucking just kept going and going and going and going. I just, I couldn't stop. I could not stop.

People were telling me. And the craziest part about the whole, the whole deal was I started at like 11 a.m. And we were fastly approaching rough and rowdy. and I was like, I need a hole in one now because I don't want to deal with all that. Like I was going to put up a slate on the screen and say watching Rough and Rowdy coming back later. And Rough and Rowdy ended at what, like 1130. So it's like now I'm taking a three hour break.

The stream's still running. I got to come back and attempt that. Like doing a whole on one challenge on PJ 2K23 will legitimately send you into like a fit of rage and like lunacy. Because only you find yourself in a self-created prison where you have to like basically be in a room screaming and trying to get a whole on one in a video game for like a very stressed situation. And the coolest part of the whole deal is I was playing with my character. We're in the video game. So like that's something that like we don't talk about nearly enough. Dude, you go on PG-Tor 2K23 and you go to the players and it says Tiger Woods and then it says Frankie Burelli, Trent Ryan.

And then I think it says rigs now, Riggs barstool or something. I think it just, just Riggs. I think it's just Riggs. We got a switch. Nobody knew who the fuck Sam was on and was. So we had this change to Riggs. And I'm just thinking like, I don't, like, I don't even know if anyone knows who Riggs or Trent or Frankie. Like the way they have it set up, we're just in the mix with all the pros.

So like anyone playing is like, who is this? I talked about that. I've talked about that. I mean, that game, we've got our crowd and our crowd buys it. But then there's that the PJ tour 2K23. has a huge crowd that people just get that game and they play it and they look at like, oh, I'm going to play with who today, Tiger Woods, oh, Colin Warcala, who is Frankie Borelli? Why is he even in this?

That part makes me laugh all the time. I'd love to see clips because I'm sure there have been thousands of people who the fuck is this guy. 100%. Because think about when you were playing games like growing up, like you look through the whole player list and you're like, oh, yeah, this guy. Yeah, like, big cohuna Tom. You're like, who the hell is that?

We're just like, who are these three guys? They're just three guys there. And Trent's like a 27 overall. They're like, what's this guy's story? Right. So, I mean, it's a, it's fucking, oh my God. But I ended up getting it with, I think it was 13 minutes before Rough and Routy started. And it was just the best feeling of all time.

I was able to go in the backyard. I cracked open a beer. I had my buddies come over and we watched Ruff and Rattie. And it was just the best feeling ever to just get out of this room and just, not have to play that game even though I love it. Dude, the comments for this whole and one challenge were like, you're getting close and I kept going crazy on them because I'm saying,

attempting a hole in one on each hole doesn't get you closer from one hole to the next at all. Like it's not a, you don't gain traction on the hole. You're not, you're not, there's no like momentum on the hole. That next swing is a, is a brand new swing.

There's all in a vacuum. Everything's in a, vacuum. So for them to keep being like you're right there was making me infuriated. I'm like, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not right. Hours in the second, the split second that the ball misses the cup, you are just as close as you were when you started six and a half hours earlier. Right. Identical. So I ended up, I had to take the wind off. So if there's an asterisk next to it, I had to take the wind off. I wasn't, I wasn't even getting close. And everyone's like, oh, that's bullshit. I'm like, but there's no, there's days that are, there's no wind. Also like, that's an

option in the game. Like why, why do I have to make a hole in one where there's like a 17 mile an hour win? I don't know like, that's not like a normal. That's not like a standard hole in one thing. So I fought the comments section a little bit. There was like 2,000 people in there for eight hours. And it was just, it was a fucking scene. But we're going to do, I'm going to do it again. I, I enjoy it. I really love it. I think it's great. It's like setting a mark was is a good thing. Like eight hours and 37 minutes. That's your mark now that you have to beat your own. record if I ever do it I got to be in eight hours and 37 minutes and you just keep trying to do it faster and faster than the last guy yeah it's so much fun it's really fun like that sounds really

fun what you just described it's it's like it's obviously horrible but like i i was like singing the whole time i was just having the day ham is like on a bachelor at party so she wasn't even here everyone's like you've been screaming since 11 a m and it's fucking eight o'clock in night like what's been happening in that house on the friday like that sounds like the worst Friday in a house small time. But I was home alone. Like I just had nothing else to do. And I was, whatever. It was a work day. Workday trying to make a whole on one. Pretty good Friday. Yeah, you're grinding. You're grinding. Congratulations on the whole one, by the way, Frank. Thank you. I appreciate that. I had a, I had quite the incident situation,

however you want to describe it at the Pinehurst house this weekend. So on like Friday, I start getting some messages start to creep their way in. I get a couple DMs from a couple of caddies. Our boy Hanky, who works in the shop at Piner's text me and say, what's going on at your house? I said, what do you mean? And apparently there was a group that rented my place at Pineshurst this weekend. And it was, I believe, a girl's 30th birthday party weekend.

and they were in bikinis in the backyard with an inflatable pool and like inflatable like all kinds of items in the backyard at Pinehurst number two and now I start again getting whispers of like there are there are like 10 girls or so wearing nothing in your pool which is or in a pool that wasn't there two days ago in your backyard and And that is maybe eight feet from the third T on Pinehurst number two. So there's this situation. Sounds like a dream. I guess they were like raging, listen to music,

betting shots against all the golfers. And I knew I'm like, well, this could be potentially right. Like optics wise, it's probably not exactly what Pinehurst wants. But by all accounts, me and my brother, we reached out to them.

Everyone's having a great time. They're like betting shots with people like I said. in having just a delightful time. The girls couldn't have been nicer. But I think the starters came by and we're like, if you guys would like, you can take this. We actually have a pool over at the Carolina Hotel. And they were like, nope, we're going to stay right here.

So it was just an absolute rager going on with like 10 or 12 girls or whatever it is. Basically out there sunbathing in bikinis four feet from Pioneers number two throughout the whole weekend. And I kind of said, it was like, look, they rented out the place. They seem like they're having a great. great time. Everybody else seems to think they're having a good time. I imagine there had to be at least a handful of, you know, older school type folks that were not thrilled with the entire situation. But apparently, if somebody was in Piney's this last weekend, they might have seen a massive pool party going on in my backyard throughout the entire weekend. And it sounds like I guess it was a good

time. But, but yeah, probably not what you expected when you go play Pioneer. I think it adds to the experience for sure, you know, it's just a Piner's number two and a show. And then you just move on your way. I think that's a lot. should be standard at every golf course. I was kind of thinking that too. I was like, maybe we just give this to these girls every single weekend. I think it's go rage there the entire time. But yeah, if you were in the Pioneer, you might have seen that throughout the weekend.

A couple more from the galleries. Also, quick shout out to Alistair. We don't know how it finished, but our boy Alistair Doherty on the cornfair tour, I think he's inside the top 15, right? He's like eight under. I think the leads 14 under. Yeah, T12 going to Sunday, big day. Big, big day. With the finals coming up, chance to push up the board.

let's go alister so um good luck to alster obviously and then the u.s amateur we have us amort final today 36 whole final they just they just teed off nick dunlap against the guy with the long hair who i don't know his name is evading me right now but that clip of him walking it off yesterday was pretty electric incredible yeah that was badass he ripped that was it he just like hit a little wedge in and it just hit the back of the green and ripped all the way back to the hole and the place went crazy me the ship what Neil Shipley. Oh, yeah.

They're calling him ship. They're calling him ship. Yeah. Nick Dunlap is a play. He's Alabama. I think he's a sophomore. Him and Gordon Sergeant are kind of like the two best prospects, I think, in college golf right now.

I think they're both sophomores. I don't know if they're, it's kind of funky because they're between years. But yeah, this guy Dunlap won the U.S. Junior. Could win the U.S.M, which, you know, that double doesn't happen very often. So remember that name if it's the first time you're hearing it, Nick Dunlap. The golf course looks really hard. looks really, really hard out there. Yeah, I've never played it.

I would like to. My mom's from Denver. I never played Jerry Hills. It looks sweet. I think they redid it. And the first hole is obviously super famous with that Arnold Palmer driving the green. I saw some videos of the guys doing that.

Bryson was out there just showed up. Did you guys see that? That was bizarre. That was bizarre. I don't know. Smiley was like, when I tell you, this is the last thing I expected to see,

this is the last thing I expected to see because he wasn't just there. He wasn't just there cheering people on. was ripping a persimmin driver on the first hole while i'm pretty sure the competition was going on on the back night so he was just it was the bryson show yeah that was insane he kind of went rogue and just like grab the persimmon and just hit a million drives and was going nuts like screaming after hitting him asking for another ball was like why he was doing this little two step where he'd be like this is the last one and then he hit one and then he like does this little like thing where he's like

okay i got one more and the crowd was loving it you could tell i love when he gets a crowd around his finger he loves it that's the bryson we need i gotta be honest i we don't need him doing interviews about nine 11 and like he is not made for that world at all he's horrific at that stuff he should be on the tea trying to drive greens and shit while tournaments are going on but that's that's the bryson we need when he was the the best bryson of all time rider cup two years ago obviously when he drove the first green and then made eagle and that same year at bay hill he was trying to drive like the fifth greed at bay hill and he went crazy when he drove it over the water that's bryson maybe he's got to lean in into who he is. You guys ever, you ever been in one of those events? You ever been in one of those

events where they have like a guy who's on the T who like is a long drive guy and he hits the drives for you on a certain hole? It's like a charity scramble. That, Bryson wasn't playing on the PG tour. He'd be amazing at that job. Just standing on the T and be like, what's up guys. We're going to rock one out there today. Yeah. I was one of the weirdest clips I've ever seen in in a great way. Like I said, that's kind of, I feel like that's what Bryson should be doing. Where are they at? Are they almost done on the live situation? They're out for,

they're done for a month. And then they have a couple more. And then they're playing, they're playing the year. And remember the tournament that we liked last year in Florida? That's the Saudi this year. So yeah, that's,

that they finish out in the kingdom. So they've got a month off. Don't they do match play? Is that right? Yeah, they do like an actual team event. And it's actually pretty good. They should do that more often if you ask me.

They're going to do it in the finals, in Saudi. I saw their building that line city. Do you guys see this thing? It's going to be like a trillion dollars. That construction site was like nothing I've ever seen before. The amount of cranes. Dude, their buildings. It's like wild.

It's like hundreds of miles or something. Isn't it like, isn't it massive? Like massive? How far is this fucking line city? The picture of what the the final product is supposed to be is like something you've never seen before. It's like a big window almost or like a big piece of

glass that just goes for like miles from basically the sand into the water and yeah i don't know it's just like a it's a city right it's a city within a building the 110 mile city that they like 110 mile long city is part of saudi vision 2030 project which saudi arabia claims will create around 460 000 jobs and add an estimated 48 billion dollars to the country's country's GDP 10010 mile long city just one building city yeah it's been interesting being you know soccer and golf being my two sports that like my favorite sports soccer they've had the saudi effect like enormously this year obviously christiana rinaldo they signed a lot of good players namar just signed there they flew them over there in a in like the prince's jet that was like his own personal Boeing 737 for one person

who was a hilarious picture um and all my yeah a lot of my soccer friends are like what the what's going on i'm like yeah well this has been going on going on in our world for the last two weeks like three years turns out when they offer five X what everyone else is offering there's going to be a lot of guys who take it and a lot of people are not going to be happy about it's just been it's just yeah it's like watch it's like deja vu watching them sign all these all these players over and over again um who all so they've got they've got christiano they've got um namar right who else they get yeah saudi sadio monne they signed um they've got rubin nevez

who was really good. They signed a couple guys from Liverpool, Formino, Jordan Henderson. You know, most of the guys are kind of toward the tail end, but they've also signed Marez from Man City. Yeah,

there's just a lot. It's like hard to even name them all. There's probably 20. They probably signed 20 guys from like top level teams in Europe. How big do those deals look as opposed to like a Ronaldo and a Namar? Well, the Conte from Chelsea they signed. They're paying them.

I don't know exactly. Like the guys who aren't the big huge guys are getting like 20 million a year, which is like four or five times what they would get before. So it's, I think it's pretty similar where it's like a multiplier as far as your actual wage. I love that you just said 20 million a year and I was like, jump change for like that pathetic. Jump change.

Yeah, like Nehbar getting like $700 million or whatever the hell. It's like just a whole area. I think it's getting like 250 a year plus whatever package they give him. Must be nice. Must be really, really nice. They all play for the same. Also shows how much, like, when you look at the, that's a good question, when you look at the scale of how influential soccer is as opposed to golf, like the highest paid golfer was who probably and how much did they get?

Like Phil. Yeah, Phil probably got like 200 million for like four years or something, three years, four years. So then Rinaldo's getting what? I mean, I don't know. I know that Namar just signed for 250 for one year. That's so crazy. Yeah, yeah. So they answer your question,

rigs, no, they don't all play for the same team, but the PIF owns every team. So if you go up high enough, it's sort of all the same. It's all the same. They own 75% of every team in the league. I think we need to just cave and just be the biggest PIF fans of all time.

Like we're just, we're just support the PIF. That's like our, I mean, they're just taking over everything, right? It's, I mean, it's over. Like, I don't,

How can you go up against that? They're building a trillion-dollar city that's 110 miles long. It's one building. And they're actually doing it. I mean, like, at least construction started. Like, it's going to be really interesting if they ever come for like an actually treasured American sport.

You know what I mean? Like, if they come for like football or baseball or basketball, that's when, that's when Congress is really going to get upset. You know, they're doing the hearings now. Wait until they try and sign like,

you know, Patrick Mahomes come play, come play football in Saudi for $2 billion a year, then things are going to start to fly on the floor of the United States Senate. I'll tell you that much. If they just buy like the Kansas City Chiefs or something, like it, you know, like I don't know. It's not that easy, but if they just, you know, like what are they going to do?

What are we going to do? We're back. We're back in Saudiville. We're just back where we're just like, I don't know, man. I don't know. This fucking podcast has been horrific with the, with the spaces in between. I think because Riggs is like one.

second off. I don't know how people have been listening to this for an hour. There's always a second of silence that would drive me fucking nuts listening to. We stop. I feel like Alex Bush does he cut those. Does he cut those? Those will be those they won't even notice. Big time. Wow. That's pretty impressive because we're cooking. It's been what in an hour and eight minutes of that? Whoa, the people are like these guys are fucking right on top of each other. That's incredible. They're just firing off because in real time, we say something and then there's like, Like there's a full second and a half of dead silence. We've just learned.

We've learned like, that sucks. I know. But these people, the people listening have no idea what we're talking about. Yeah. We got to figure out like internet on the road. There's just,

you know, it's just. Is there like if you, brings as a potato right now. Yeah. He looks like, like how you supposed to have a conversation? He looks like,

if you said, if you said money is no option, what's the best internet situation you can buy? on the market. Right. Like what is it? There's got to be like internet that like these networks used to right? Well, when we like do a live show when we go to uh, corn fairy and like all business

Pete gets his truck, they'll legitimately purchase like a line I think from Verizon or like one of these actual towers, but they'll get a dedicated line of internet straight from the source, whether that's from the, I don't know where internet's coming from a satellite or whatever, but the source is it's hitting the fucking satellites getting into this tower and it's feeding out fiber optic lines and that's a that's a that's a that's a mentally unstable person speaking about internet and how it works but i'm pretty sure that's like as best as you can get as a dedicated line of internet that like costs i mean it costs them hundreds of thousands of dollars i think for like a day you know what i mean i remember it being a huge deal when we would go do a live show

and I'd be like, Pete, I need a dedicated line because Dave wants to do a show from the parking lot of the Cleveland Indians game, a Guardians game. I guess the Red Sox. I remember I couldn't get any internet. We wanted to do a live show from the parking lot. I'm like, I need a dedicated line. He's like, that would cost like $200,000. Just do the fucking show from your phone. I was like, all right.

I don't even know. I don't even know how that all works. Fuck. Yeah, I don't know if you can get like a, can you get like a fancier hotspot, basically? Would that be the best answer? Yeah, you should have one of those. I think they're called like the Verizon like something packs like the MiFi or something like that. I've heard myfi before.

I think it's called myfi. Basically it's a pack that will just generate 5G internet for you in the room. So we would have that on like the bus, like the tour bus that would go from city to city. And whenever they needed to do the rundown or whatever, literally driving on the road, they would connect to that Verizon, my, myfi, my pack, whatever. basically just hook it up into the into the into the uh into an into an outlet and it will connect but you pay like a monthly subscription for it it's almost like having phone internet it's like a 5g hot spot but way better than the phone it's got way more antennas way more places for it to actually connect as opposed to a phone that's got to be that's got to be the answer now that we talked

it out it's probably better because this is unacceptable logging in and hoping to god that the the highest ranked Yeah, we're the highest ranked like golf podcast in the world I can't even speak to each other.

It's crazy. It's crazy. But Alex has to edit it all, which is amazing. I thought for sure they'd be listening to those fucking dead meat. No,

no way. That would, then we would have, then we would be like, we would be the worst podcast ever. Oh, I mean, he's got a,

that's going to take him eight hours, right? Because I mean, it's an hour and 30 minutes. worth of just dead silence in between every single sentence. Alex is so mad right now.

He's like, Frank, he doesn't realize like what I'm grinding on. He's like, he thinks I just press play and then press on at the end. I thought it was more levels. I didn't know he was taken out every piece of fucking space.

Alex, what's wrong with you? Good thing we're doing it on Sunday. He's got, you know, 36 hours to do it. That's got to drive you crazy. How long is I going to take you,

Bush? Is he still there? Is he like, oh, no, no, no, I'm here.

I mean, that's what we do with every podcast. even because even when you guys have good internet, there's still dead space sometimes, but this one there will obviously be dead space before Riggs talks every single time. But it'll probably take a couple hours, but it's really not that.

It's not that tough. Just time consuming, but it's fine. Jesus. So we should stop talking. You want us to stop talking? Is that you're telling us? No, keep going. Keep going.

He probably wants you to stop talking, would be the thing. I am playing golf today in a few hours, and I am so damn excited. I've been watching short game videos, short game chef yesterday. You ever get that where just for whatever reason you get super excited for one round of golf playing with three of my buddies? I think it's a scratch game. Everyone's like same handicap.

So we're just going to play like best ball, no strokes involved. Everyone's going to be playing for money. And you just watch videos a lot the night before. And you watch the professionals and they make it look so easy. And I'm going to go out there and not do anything that they do and shoot my, you know, 76 and be frustrated. but I am so excited for golf today. And what a joy this game is, what a blessing it is to have in our lives

because I have played golf thousands and thousands and thousands of time. But for whatever reason, I am so excited to get to the golf course. I'm going to get there like an hour before I'm going to stretch. I'm going to do a little breathing exercise before I start my warm up. I mean,

we're going to be the balance that I'm going to have. My chakras are going to be so alive. And then I'm going to warm up. Before your range. I'm going to do breathing 100%. I'm going to be totally in control. role of my emotion and my trajectory from the first hole on. And I'm going to play some golf today and I'm going to win some money at the end of it. It's just there's just nothing better. It's getting

to the point in New York where it's cooled down a little bit. It's not quite as hot as it was. It's been really nice. Yesterday was a lovely night out. I can't wait to be outside today. That was an amazing little pump up speech. I think I'm going to, I just went on my little app. I think I'm going to go play some you got to play. It's so nice out. It's beautiful out. Yeah. It's beautiful. I'm dealing with a little toe hook situation. My miss now is a toe hook and it's frustrating because I'm like cruising drives further than I've ever hit them. Like launching them high, draws. I'm hitting them like 290, 300 when I'm and like it feels easy when I catch it.

And then three in a row are just like a toe hook into the right rough. It's not out of bounds, but it's like 220 and it leaves me like 195 yards into the green and I'm in the rough and I'm hitting a five iron out of it. and I'm chunking it into the front of the green. And then I'm chipping up and I'm like maybe making the par, but I'm most likely bogeying and I'm ending my round with like an 82. And I know it could have been a 75 because I'm cruising drives when I'm connecting on them. I'm nipping wedges like the best of them. I mean, my wedge game has gotten so much better.

It's crazy. I know if I have an uphill. It's crazy. I have an uphill fucking wedge shot. I'm making it up and down, man. I'm just doing it. And I just can't get rid of the toe hook. I don't know if I'm saying too far away from the.

ball i've always stood far away from the ball so i feel like i'm like i don't know i don't know what it is i don't know what that miss is i saw the top comment on your stew finder video was was frankie not telling stew to move closer to the ball all day is criminal i know i know i mean the series is really fun and i'm i find myself during the episode trying to give them like lessons which is insane but you can't like not stew's like guys making the double bar on every hole you're going to step in me like what where to put the golf ball in his pocket or like or does he hold it so i'm like oh stew like let's like try and like square up the club face and everyone's like well if you're going to give him a lesson why don't you like tell him the correct amount of distance to stand away from the ball i'm like i'm not

thinking about all that when we're fucking filming the video we're trying to make funny we're trying to just get through the round like it comes out naturally to like try and help him i noticed that like i did it a lot with stew but he was swinging and missing like i don't know the guy was out of control and then There's a lot of comments, and I think they're just trolls, but they, they wanted me to not count the swings and misses. Like that was insane. Imagine being on the other side of that where I'm just like, no, no, like I would get roasted for not counting them. They'd be like, that's not golf. Like the guy tried to swing.

He swung and missed. He almost broke his ankle. He literally swung and miss. Almost broke his ankle. Imagine that not being an attempted swing. That's insane. They're like, the ball didn't move. Are you on the PGA tour?

It's like, well, like if we didn't count it, they'd be like, are you even pulling? playing golf this is stupid why don't just drop the ball in the hole then can't win no you have to be on the right side of that to win you know what i mean like the people complaining about that are just wrong this is getting me really excited for sand valley like dan dan rapaport's pump up speech got me really really excited for that like we're gonna be out there we're gonna dude when the four of us are all together bro with the with the cameras rolling and then the banter flowing we've been a year in now so you guys can like say shit to me without worrying if i'm gonna take it fucking personal Like this is going to be fun as hell.

I'm excited to go play golf. We're going to have a little Sunday, play a little golf. I think that's all I got. I think that's all I got. We got Long Island Classic. I think there should be a couple of islanders out there, which Frank you'll be jacked up about. This podcast will come out after that's occurred.

So again, we're not trying to time hop too much on people. But yeah. And then we've got 20th anniversary of Arsenal Sports on Wednesday night. We're going to be, and we talked about our outfit. and stuff a little bit at the beginning, but we're going to be up in Boston, House of Blues,

Frankie's going to be playing. So yeah, we got kind of a big deal coming Wednesday night. There might be tickets available for that. I'm not sure. There are. I know there are links. All right, yeah.

So if you want to go, if you're in the Boston area and want to go to the Barstool 20th anniversary awards, come out. There's going to be a ton of Barstool town there. Dave is hosting. Pretty much anybody you've ever seen, Grace,

Congratulations to whoever won the BMW Championship. Really excited to see, you know, Max on. Yeah, how they do at the, at East Lake in Atlanta. And Dan's going to be back on the scene, back on the grinds. We got merchandise, Eastlake. If you're there, Tour Championship, obviously the PGA Tour's finale event, and we got merch there. That's going to be, that's really sick, actually.

You look at this merchandise. That's phenomenal. We'll have Ryder Cup merch coming out in a couple weeks as well so people can get all hyped up for that. But for me, that's all I got. Excited about golf, great pump-up speech. Dan. We'll be back on Thursday per usual. Hit it hard.
