You want to look at it behind the scenes? Me and Lurch are treated like second class on this when we only have fucking four mics. It's not just, it's not my fault. It's been like two years. We've had four people in this podcast for many years. Jake? Jake says that there is a. supply chain issue.

Yeah, that's right. We've talked about a mic issue last night with Tramoverman. It's hysterical. I asked for something from one of our sponsors, and Jake told me there's a supply chain issue. This is a supply chain issue in China. And I said, okay, I don't know. Can you guys afford another mic? No.

I don't think we can. This isn't terrible, though. It's all right. There's like a board we need and spitting chicklets has a board. Oh, it would be better. But I'm saying if we do this. There's a board? There's a board, and we've just never thought to get one.

Like a production? board a board I don't know I'm listening to the shit you're shaking this is our listening to you guys argue

this is the show this is literally the show it's good to see it's like a little it's great to see yeah oh my gosh Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions that means you're a champion

what he thought HGV stand for and he thought it was the ATV ATV A TV 4 wheeler A train vehicle What's your favorite

vacation spot in the planet that I've been to do so far? Let me give me your favorite personal experience and then your number one wish list dream vacation, Hilton Grand Vacation.

I'm really thinking right now. Speaking to the mic. I love Sorry, get that thing a little closer. Is that better? Yeah, yeah. I love angle it. Get it like uncomfortably close. There you go. Can you guys figure out this microphone situation? By the way, do you think any of us could sit like that? I just

whispered a trying to go, do you think we could get like that? I went to Canada. This year. That was fun. I love Canada. Where too? Whistler. You go ski it? No. I'm not a lot of skier or snowboard. Insurance policy? No, it's just I get hurt. Right. I used to be a really good snowboarder. I say I used to be because I used to be really good. So I do jumps and stuff. But then I landed on my wrists and my knees and then my wrist guard broke and all that. So if I can just ride nicely, I would ride it, but I don't. So I've been banned.

So Whistler was your number one vacation spot? Well, this year, I guess. But I love it. But I love it. I I love New York. I love going to Hawaii. Korea, I love. I just like vacationing. I'm trying to plan a Switzerland trip this year. So every year I always plan a girls trip. So we're going to Switzerland. Wow. You go to all these places that are like ski havens, but you don't ski.

I love the snow. Yeah. Yeah. You should like start snowball fights? What are you doing the snow if you're not going to ski? Make snow angels. Okay. It's the vibe.

It's like, the, have you... Why? Yeah. It's cold and you're bundled and it's warm. And there's fire and then you could eat and you can get fat and nobody cares. I feel that, man. You know what I mean? That's living.

There's so much better is that than when you got to go to these damn beach resort to take your clothes off. Bahamas and you have to be bikini ready. And I got to show my nipples. Sucking in the whole thing. It's just stressful. What are doing, man? Some people that are, some people are naturally skinny or naturally fit. And I get that, but I really just like to just be bono.

It's also just a grind. The sunburn for me. I would say you're much closer to that. Yeah, we're pathetic. I'm getting nine pounds this off season. No, I seriously. That's a burger? Bad lunch for me.

I've gained nine. I'm so proud of myself. Gain nine? Yeah, nine. Like muscle or no? Muscle. Working out. Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm probably sure I'm probably on fat too, but it's okay.

Nine pounds. I got three more pounds to go. To gain. To gain, yeah. My goal is to not lose weight this stretch. Is that really hard when you play three each row? Yeah. I always lose weight on the road.

A lot. That's the eye. opposite. What do you eat on the road? I don't eat much on the road. That's why I need to keep up the food. And then NB, like you just saw, she always finds dinner for me. So then dinner and breakfast is always like, I get done and she goes, eat your dinner. I go, okay. Why don't you eat a lot on the road just because you don't like the options or it's harder or what? It's harder to figure it out. Or Ollie made me a sandwich today. It's down there. You forget. You're picking it apart like a scavenger. I know. He thinks it's the greatest sandwich ever.

it doesn't taste like it. I like that you're looking around for him. Like you didn't want him to see that you picked it apart. Huh? I like you don't want him to see that you picked it apart. No. I have to eat it though because he's just, he's like,

eat your fucking sandwich. And I'm like, why are you cussing at me? That was our conversation on the 18th? I'm like, why are you swearing at me right now? And he goes, I'm sorry,

but eat your sandwich. I'm like, okay, well, you don't have to swear. Last time we saw you, we defeated you in a golf match. You need to relax.

I'm pretty sure you didn't do much. Whoa. Whoa. I didn't see a comment I don't think I did much I don't know But sorry, what were you trying to get at? We'll have a remote

We have to have a rematch How are you feeling about it? I don't feel that happy about it To keep you up in night? No, but I don't look at the reviews Or the rewinds because it kind of bothers me That you guys took me to a golf course That I've never played

It sounds like a full-on excuse But it was windy It was all over the place It was like a practice round And then there's four of you You're trying to have to give us any like Any credit basically But you guys have you played well

Okay You played well Where should we play next time Where we're gonna do the rematch There's some confliction With Shadow right And then A little conflict of interest here

Yeah We have to play TPC Summerlin I heard that place is sick I live there so might as well Oh that could be a problem Huh That could be a problem for us We're good

I practically live there So we got this We got to play there I You guys might You guys hit it far So there's reachable Par fours

Par fives But I can beat you guys With putting you guys with potting and chipping So I need to I get to pick the ball I remember us being pretty similar distances No No you drove it really far

Yeah you were driving it well When you hit it well You just wanted You just wanted that You just wanted that No I honestly because I remember The first T

That's what I really remember You were either Opie or really far Thank you I'm gonna get sun burnt. Did you put any chance? I did, but this is crazy. Are you serious complaining about the sun? Do you want to switch seats?

No. Maybe I want to switch seats with lurch or something. You know? I can't. This is... I can't. Seriously? Are you kidding?

Yeah, man. Look at him. He's a son guy. He's such a... You're so whiny. He is. That might be the best promo clip we can put out. He's just so whiny.

Like, why am I going to burn? You need to see some sun. I like that. You got that position. You're basically blending in with that tent because you're so pale in the background. I also don't like this. Now we're head on. We're head on now.

I like how you're just sitting just like, are we all doing cross? Like, can you go? Yeah. This is like, can you do it, Frank? I feel like a little cap frame coming on, which could really throw off the. There was one point. Where are you? No, it's fine.

Don't rip your pants, guys. Big baby. No, these are feet of marpins. They're nice. Okay. It's tight. Why, you're breathing so heavily. You're just sitting down.

I'm going to lose circulation to my legs for sure. You're so uncomfortable. You look so uncomfortable. I'm great. I feel so good right now. Remember when you sat like this on the green and just watched us pathetically try to chip a ball? Yes. I think I have a better chance if I pick the golf course.

I'll have a rematch. And I'll win and they will have the final tiebreaker. Okay, best of three. You guys can pick the tiebreaker. But it has to be a golf course I played on once. That putting scene on the 18th was a complete mess. With the driver, do you remember that? Yes.

I already lost. I couldn't get it in the hole. That was the driver hole. Yeah, we're going to figure something out. We're going to play my home course, and then I'll get the win. We'll tie, and then we'll do a tiebreaker. So how is the offseason? What do we work on?

You were with Butch a good amount, right? Actually, no. Just the one time we saw a couple videos from you guys? Yeah, I didn't see him that often. He's, I don't know if it's, you know, he's had some surgeries and here and there, so you couldn't work that much. And then I traveled for three weeks all over the place. Vacation?

Yeah, vacation. But I played golf everywhere, except Canada. It was awesome. Is that normal for you when you, like, travel and go on vacation to play golf? I like playing. It wasn't that long time ago. But I went to Florida. I played Floridian, pro member with Butch there.

I went and played golf at the Grove. That was fun. I went to New York. went to Chelsea Peers and it balls It was like $60 or $60 balls You know my He's like my little brother

Tristan Gretzky goes to NYU now So he got me He got me all hooked up at Chelsea He's a good player right Yeah he's just to work on some short game Okay And mental

That's right When we did the podcast You were just at like Wayne Gretzky's school right? Yeah Gretzky hockey school This guy in the clubhouse I don't need a whisper you guys because he still hear me. He saw my sticker on my phone and then he really wanted it.

So he peeled it off and gave it to him. He's like, are you sure this is the same Gretzky? You can just have this sticker. What was the sticker? It was a Gretzky hockey school sticker. And he peeled it off your phone? That's one of the more bizarre things I've ever heard. What I'm?

Here, have it. And you saw him just taking it? Was the guy okay? He really wanted it. So I just was like here. I peeled it off and you had to take it. Yeah, last time, we were FaceTiming and you were walking. through the Gretzky hockey school and Wayne Gretzky was just lacing up the skates

getting ready to go out. Gretzky hockey school. Yeah, we did the whole video though. Yeah. We say that he was a guest on the show because technically you could hear some of his stick handling in the background. I think that day we did the golf channel FaceTime interview and then he popped up and was like, we need to go. I said, okay.

Hey guys, Wayne Gretzky here. We got to go skate. Come on. I was like, okay. We got the time wrong. So I actually had the interview time's wrong. So I actually did have to go, but then I had a double. schedules and he's like he's been on the panel with one of our co-workers uh paul bisinette on the tn tn tn't

and it's been funny to see because to us as just huge hockey fans you never i never knew that way and grisky had like some sort of personality like that have you seen that tn t stuff oh it's great isn't it's roasting our our guy biz has been hilarious biz nasty yeah business i met him in a i i was a character he is he is a character fun guy yeah with hybrid work becoming the norm the strongest teams have two things in common, speed and alignment. Both come from having one hub where everyone can share work and processes, manage projects, and collaborate with clarity. I feel like this is a big lurchad read right here.

It is a big lurchad read. A lot of jargon. But Notion, all right. Notion has done a phenomenal job of allowing, and they're right where hybrid work has become the thing. You see people all the time that have actual real jobs, not like us. They're working from home. They're on the road. Then they go to the office a little bit, a hybrid situation.

clearly you need good help to manage all that, manage all your processes. Notion is the answer of that for companies of all sizes. Notion provides one central and customizable workspace that can be tailored to fit any team and bring all teams together to get more done and to move faster. Notion is an all-on-one team collaboration tool, combines note-taking, document sharing, wikis, project management, and much, much more, and do one space that is simple. It's powerful.

What about this event, tournament of champions? You feel good about it? You feel like a champion? No, not really. Why not? I don't know the golf course. Okay. Did you do any prep?

Do I look like I'm out here just chit-chatting? Yeah. Actually, yes. I don't know. I don't know the golf course very well. I tried, I played the tournament last year. What was it called? Diamonds?

No, that was at a different. The tournament of champions was diamond resorts was different golf course. And then we had another event here. I think it was a drive. No, it's not a drive on. I just brought that I don't remember. But we had the event here, Nelly won. and I just

I don't know the golf course I think there's a big home course advantage it's kind of like Shadow Creek course is really difficult there's a lot of these little gimmicks and nooks around the greens on the green and I just don't know it so I mean are you going to like try to learn it I tried today it took me three hours to play nine holes by myself

trying to learn it yeah how's that was that just like frustrating I let three groups through honestly you're grinding I'm trying to figure it out because if I don't know, I don't know. And there's going to be some mistakes. The less I know, the more mistakes that's going to happen.

What does trying to figure it out mean? What are you trying to learn? I need to know where to miss my second shots. That's big because I'm pretty much a ball striker. So if I position myself at 40, 50 footers all day, you're not going to have much Brody opportunity. And plus, this has like overseeded fast Bermuda going on. So it's like the undergring breaks that I don't know because once again, I'm not a member

having putted on here very often. So then I quite don't know where it's breaking. The green looks flat, but it breaks a ton. And it's super fast. So I don't want to give myself 50 footers and 60 footers. So like, are you quitting the cross? Well, everybody else gave up. Yeah, no.

My ankles were going to stop. I was, my calf was like twitchy and I was just, I had to stop. So what's your yardage book look like? Is there lines all over the place from drawing it today? I'm drawing all over. Was it the front or the back that you went? Front. Is it like Ollie's job to write all that in there?

Or you writing it in real time? He writes it in, too. I ride it in as well. But I think I just need to figure it out as I go. And then my, hopefully my score gets progressively better as the week goes on. How did you hit it out of the way? Hitting it well, but it's just different because there's a little colder breeze. And I'm not in Las Vegas.

I'm hitting it shorter. The grain's different and the green speed's different. It's just, there's a lot going on right now. That's why I'm like, no, I'm not really that ready. But it's right. So when you, like, scout out the nine holes, Is most of your time just up by the green, just walking around and figuring out undulation to wear or miss would be better? Yeah, mostly.

I chip and putt mostly. Okay. And then, but right now my driver's Wi-Fi is like really strong. I need bad connection right now, but it's strong Wi-Fi. It's left and right. I'm hitting it, so I lost a lot of distance, but now I got my distance back, but I have right and left-miss. Okay. So.

What do you mean you lost a lot of distance? How'd that happen? Last year I just lost a lot of distance. I lost a lot of weight. a lot of muscle. I just, my swing wasn't efficient. It was bad.

But I got my distance back. I'm just not used to the motion yet. And I can't swing as fast because I'm afraid of it. So now it's just like random blocks come out. I go, whoop, there goes. But I have to keep it up so I can get ready for the rest of the year, right? It's not just about this event.

Do you laugh it off or do you get mad? I mean, it's annoying, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's got to be better. I go, oh, shit, there's a duck hook. Like, I gotta keep trying. I'd rather play really bad in the beginning and figure it out and play really well than play mediocre. That's really hard for a lot of people in golf, I feel like, because a lot of times when you change stuff that's going to make you better, you become a lot worse for a little while. I'm a little bit bad right now.

And it's hard for people to stick with it. I have to stick with it. I could do the 220 off the T, 230 off the T and dink it. You don't want to dink it. No, I can't. I'm going to dink my five iron on. I don't want to fight with rescues all day. No.

Not out here. Might as well just smash it down there. And then right now, though, it's a straight downhill lie with the wedge. I'm going, probably going to hit it to 50 feet right now. So I'm working on a lot of pace. Do you take anything away from other players games? Oh, yeah. I always say, well, I practice with NB during all off season.

I just watch her putt. I feel like I'm getting, you don't want to talk. Give me a look. No, I gave you the look because the sun is you're just back in the sun. I am back in the sun. It's right. No, as soon as the sun got past that tree, you were going to get roasted the sun for sure. Sun feels great out here, though.

I'm back in the sun. You need color, too, so you should be taking that hat off and soaking in it. You know, the sun doesn't stay in one position, right? Like, we orbit. Yeah, you're a space guy. Are you a space guy? Oh, I love space. Really?

I love space. So you know what the sun is, right? What is the closest star? No, I don't know space like that. I don't actually know space. I'm just intrigued by it. You don't know the closest star to the earth? What is the closest star to the earth?

I know the answer. I know the answer. Jupiter, that's a planet. It's the sun. It's the sun. It's the sun. It's the sun. Those stars that you see in the sky are, no, no, I know, but they're further away and the sun is close to all those.

It was a trick question. Listen, I don't know. I don't know. You said you want space. I like the idea of space. I don't know anything about it. You just want space. Like, you need space right now.

I'm more interested in how scary it is. You know, we can get all crazy about... Would you like some space right now? You could just... Well, no, it's not about that. It's just... I wish I got that question correct. That was like when the teacher gives you, like, a layup.

There's an obvious answer, but you think that's a stupid... How many planets are there? I don't know. I didn't know. How many planets are there? This is controversial. Well, that's, yeah, that's controversial. Yeah, it could also be a trick question.

Well, I mean, what is a correct how many planet? The correct statement. I believe that it's eight, right? Yes. And it used to be nine. Pluto, though. Pluto is no longer a planet. No, did you hear this bullshit?

They're trying to say... Justice for Pluto. Pluto and like 3,000 other ones they're trying to consider all planets now. We don't need to worry about these planets. We've got to be worrying about the exoplanets that are in other galaxies.

We talked to Dr. Eric Smith, who came on our podcast last week. He just deployed this new technology out into the fucking other... The James Webb Telescope. You know about this? Yes, yes. Yes. Yes.

Have you not seen this? Have you not seen this? like the Mars rover land and everything. No, you have no idea I'm talking about then. No, I'm saying I do watch all of it. James Webb tells you. It's spatial knowledge. Right.

Are you going to repeat what the doctor says to me right now? Because then it's not you talking. No, no, I'm not going to repeat. I just want you to know that we sent out a telescope. You did? We as a human being sent a telescope out one million miles away from our orbit. I do know that. This just happened last week.

I do know that. Okay, that's good. And you're up to date. You know what we're doing. Yeah, we're doing. We're about to get images back in the summer and then things are going to get crazy. Have you heard of those people that believe that the world is flat? Yeah.

And that we actually never went to space. Yeah. What do you think about that? That actually I would argue is more scary than space. What do you think about that? I think it's insane. Have you not seen the whole controversial on how the world can be flat? It kind of makes you believe that the world is flat.

No. I've seen some YouTube video. Just watch as long as you believe, as long as you have to take away from the fact that we never landed on the moon. Is that where you stand? No, no, no. But I'm saying if you take that away, that aspect of it away, then the world of Earth is. Okay. So if you take away facts, then you can believe a lot.

Yes. Okay. I like that. I think that's true about anything. That's a good premise to live under it or be honest. That's where it gets scary with Frankie where you don't know where his information's come from all the time. Right. So he could be a bad dream.

Well, in six months he could be in a bunker. Okay. With this space talk, we'll end on. What is the third planet from the sun? That I don't know. but it's probably Earth because it's another trick question, but I don't know. It is Earth.

It's Earth. What's the closest planet to the sun? Hold on, is it? Yeah. Mercury, Venus, Mars. Earth, Mars. Then there's a gap. And that big mother-thucking.

Do you do any of the planetary alignments and astrology? You mean astrology? Yeah. You know? No. You're holding on a flagstick. You're thinking about planets.

Right. maybe your game is better next week because Venus is aligned with Mercury. I like being controls. I don't really like letting it go and say that because the Jupiter and Venus are aligned today that I'm not going to have a good day. I'm with you and I'm not into astrology, but

if you like end up reading it, oh boy. Then you're like, I can't keep reading this because I'm going to turn into this. Actually, this is what I do. You're going to start thinking because you'll start, it'll be like confirmation bias. Well, they write it in a way where you could you could justify anything. Although,

I do look at horoscopes, but I do it day after and see how my day was yesterday. How's that been going? No, sometimes I do it and it's actually correct. This is what I mean. But that's the confirmation bias where it's like and then you throw away what you don't. Today's not a good work day. I shot like 75. And then the next day I go, yep, today is not a good work day.

I go, yeah, it was not a good work day. I want to be clear that I'm not into horoscopes either. But if you come across yours. You're close. You sound like you guys into horoscopes. If you come across yours, if someone, yeah, but if someone puts it in front of you and you read it, you go fuck i actually can't even name all the signs no me no i don't even know my sign is i know my sign but i don't know huh cancer to this podcast i'm libra that's all i know that's a joke

that's good joke well that i mean it's a layup for any bad humor as soon as someone says you're cancer it's like just drop people that know a lot about this would say oh yeah he's obviously a leo like when you actually break down oh no people do that with blood types in korea more so really yeah there's like oh you're such a bee A, B, A, B, positive. Oh. What are you? Yeah, yeah, I'm a B positive.

People would say you're such a B positive. You're such a P positive. Yeah, no, I'm not kidding. Like, the blood type's a big deal in Korea. What kind of associates with a B positive? I think like stubbornness or it's like a personality trait. Yeah. Do you find this to be in line with you?

Not you're such a B positive. It's like, punch me in the face. They say that. So in America, they do astrology. In Korea, they mostly say blood type. I think actually, I'm, more aligned with the blood take than I am the astrology take. Blood take is mostly the nutrition, right?

Like, you can read all the allergy and stuff. It's mostly you can read it by blood type. That's what the, what is that, the blood that you prick and then send it in? Yeah. Yeah. Because my nutritionist says, oh, do you like dairy? Oh, hey, by the way, are you a blood type bee by any chance? Because I drink dairy every day.

She goes, oh, the bees are the ones that can handle dairy the best. I miss that. Yeah. I can't do dairy. Anybody on the show know what your blood type is? No. There was a thought at one point where people like weren't getting COVID and they're like, oh, that's my blood type.

And like there, you thought that like be positive or whatever was just going to make you immune to everything. And I think that kind of didn't work out. I just believe I'm immune to everything. Yeah. How's that working out? I have to get all the shots anyways. So it hasn't changed.

Just getting all the shots and I'm like, I'm immune. I go, your germs are too weak for me. Speaking of Korea, I watched a movie on the plane. yesterday? Yeah. Minari? Yes. It's an Oscar-winning award-winning movie, right?

They won an Oscar for it, right? Awesome for certain reasons. A lot of it I was mad at because it was kind of boring, but awesome because they made a boring movie watchable, if that makes any sense. It was very slow and meticulous and... Very artsy. Very artsy.

We like to give a lot of movie recommendations on this show. I just wanted to throw that out there. Oh, really? I believe that the movie, the acting was incredible. Yeah, that's why I'm interested to ask you. Acting was incredible, but for me... It's basically half Korean and half English, right? Yeah, a lot of...

Their acting was really good. Frankie's our best judge of acting talent on the show, so you thought it was good? A lot of it was hard because a lot of it was in Korean. They weren't... Subtitles? Superbad? Is that the movie? Yeah.

I've never seen it. Really? And then someone said, how have you not seen Superbad? Is it good? Yeah. Superbad is really good. You also did not watch the whole show? movie, Frankie, right?

So I was sitting in... Did you cut off the movie? Frankie still hasn't seen the best movie of all time, which is... What is a woman? No. I was sitting in one of those, the first seat of a news section in Comfort Plus. Okay. And they don't have the TVs on the back of the thing of running because there's a lot of room. So it's one of those TVs that come out of the side of the seats and it's a swivel. And I had about six minutes left of the movie. And I watched this whole damn movie.

And the lady comes up to me, the nice flight attendant. She just taps. she taps the screen and she goes, we're going to put this down. You're going to go right to the phone. Oh, no. And yeah, I guess I mean, I don't know. You could have done the Delta. Is it Delta? I guess I could have done that.

And I kind of panicked. And I was like, can I just watch it? She goes, you can't actually. And just kind of slowly. She physically pulled it down. And I watched the ending of the movie, which I don't want to throw away like what happens at the end. But all of a sudden there's like fire.

I mean, it was like chaos. Chaos is happening. There's more than six minutes left then. Oh, yeah. There was chaos happening at this movie. Oh, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, finally, this boring movie had just fire and people running into a fiery cabin.

And I'm like, okay. How long is this movie? It feels like a long, turn out movie. Like, you were always on the edge of your seat the entire time. What's it about? Minari, it's about this, what do you call that? Huh? No, it's about a farmer, but the Minari is a weed.

It's like a water weed, I guess. Oh, wow. And then, well, not weed as in marijuana. I'm talking about. like weeds. Weeds, like grow up algae or like,

you can eat it you can eat it as medicine there's a lot of different and it's about that and it's kind of like it's like fungus it goes everywhere grows that once you plant it

it goes everywhere kind of thing and it's about that yeah and a farmer coming from Korea and like trying to make better for his family but then his family

wasn't all in on it and he was working on a farm and it was the struggle of a family moving I hope you get sponsored by Minari after this I do not take my broken phone screen

to a mechanic For the same reason, I don't trust my hair in the hands of my grandma's stylist. This is always a tough one for me because I don't have any hair. Yeah, but in that same vein, I could cut my own hair technically, right? I could just get a buzzer and just go over it. It's a two guard. It's pretty simple. But even then I don't trust myself with that because I can't line up the back.

I can't line up around the years. So I could get most of it done, but it's just easier to go somewhere. Get it done. It's totally worth it. Frank, you got a sneaky nice head of hair. Whoa, we took that off. You look beautiful. There's something about getting a good haircut.

It's hard to find. And when you find that one place that just does it right, you never want to let it go because it's a risky business getting your haircut by a stranger that's just going to put clippers and razors to your head. Yeah, they're going to determine what you look like for the next several months. And, you know, I take that very seriously. I really do. So where do you go? Sport clips, right?

Sport clips. Well, what's beautiful about sport clips is you got. somebody who specializes in you, the experts at sport clips, are trained specifically for guys' hair, which is important, long, curly, short, thinning, thick, chubby face, skinny,

whatever you look, they know how to cut and shake. I feel like they were taking a shot of both of us. That's a, that's an ad redirected toward the four plate crew. I think this is curated and specialized for the four plate crew. Afterwards,

you may even get a pinch on the cheek from grandma. Sport clips, the pros in men's hair. Again, they specialize in men's hair. So go check. them out. You're not going to regret it. They're going to be your go-to spot forever. Sport Clips, the pros and men's hair. I watched, um, C-Spiracy. Do you guys see that one yet? No, no, I don't want to watch it. Never even heard of it. It's very, uh, just makes you have a little

faith in humanity and like government and the ocean and what we're doing to the ocean. I haven't watched it because I love the ocean and I do a lot of ocean conservation. It was just make me angry. It was tough to watch. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a hypocrite in that sense, you know? I mean, if I'm like super into it then I should be all recycled and like everything but I'm not I still wear cotton and all that it's like you can't the main takeaway from the whole thing was just that like you shouldn't eat fish that's pretty much seafood that's pretty much food I don't really eat that much red meat I because they they do this whole they the guy starts out on a journey about how he you know the oceans or what's the most important thing for life and for the earth to basically the ecosystem to remain

as is and as we kill the oceans we're going to kill ourselves and so he starts out studying like the plastic and how there's so much plastic in the ocean and eventually he learns throughout the whole thing that the actual damage done by massive fishing industry is infinitely more devastating to the oceans and to the life in the ocean than

all the plastic times like a billion and how like all the fishing nets and how all it's chaos. It made it seem like we got left here on this It made it seem like we got like 10 years. It just don't know what's right. You know what I mean? Like with something like that like it's just I don't know what I want to where do I go if I don't eat seafood all the time but

then you were saying something about red meat. Then you go, there's going to be, there's definitely multiple documentaries about red meat. And it's just like, have you seen earthlings? No. I did not eat chicken for two years, did not eat eggs for a year. And I did not eat beef for probably six months. This is what I mean, like, I need to eat it. Right, unless I need to eat.

Totally. But there's a whole argument. You don't need to eat it, right? Sure. But at the end of the day, like, actually, I do need vitamin B12. Like, I have really low iron. I just, it's easier for me to eat that. Unless I eat grass every day, I think you're an asshole.

Exactly. That's why I said. I don't like watching Sea Spiracy because it makes me feel like a bad person. Right. As long as I do my part, but then I'm not because as long as I don't go hunt my own food, what is happening over there. You think that's loud of what they're doing? That's okay. But as long as I don't hunt or fish my own food.

Is that an army coming towards? I can't. I'm not like. I'm with you. Yeah. All that stuff is just like, man, I don't know what to do. Yeah. It's like red meat.

There's so many arguments. You could argue every part. But as long as it just, I guess, like the way the world works now is if you justify to yourself. It's correct, right? Biggest thing for me, and it's definitely the wrong way to look at it, is I'll personally be like, all right, I understand that it's wrong to use plastic and eat all these things. But if I stop, unfortunately, no one else is stopping. But then the whole argument is, it takes one person to make a change.

It just is. So like, I know it's wrong. I know it's wrong. That's wrong because technically if everyone thinks the way you do. No, okay. That's almost arrestable. I don't know if that makes sense. That is as selfish as it gets.

I know what you mean. I know what you mean. I'll jump in on it if we get the powers at B to get in on it. But my point is at the office, like, we all drink water bottles, right? And this was a huge debate the other day in the office. And like, everyone's like, well, we should just have tap water? And I said, so should I not drink this water bottle? Even though they have a contract to get water bottles here for the next two years,

these water bottles are going to be delivered here. Should I not drink the water bottle? It's still going to come. Why do you need approval to others? Just drink your water bottle. Well, I know. Well, I'm just saying that. that like me deciding to not drink that water bill that day was not going to stop that order from being placed.

But that attitude is how everyone, that's very contradicting. Not a big, not a big grassroots movement guy. Yeah. No. So then what you're saying right now is literally the worst thing you can say. Yeah, I agree.

I'd rather you just say, I don't care and just drink it. Then I care and there's nothing else I can do. Because everyone's going to say you have to do it's more I feel helpless that I wouldn't be able to help to actually make a difference, right? So it's like. No, that's the, No, every person used to... Yeah, you could create change that way.

And, like, you could promote the fact that you're not doing that. I'm just admitting what everyone... You all drink water bottles. I'm just admitting exactly the way we think. But they're not all thinking like... You're supposed to be this beacon of like... No, no, no, well, I'm not. But he might just say...

You lead the change. No, but he doesn't care. At the end of the day, I'm not saying he doesn't care. Oh, really? But let's just say... You want to be on the record there? Fundamentally, through my actions, I don't care. I don't care.

Fundamentally through his actions, he's like, all right, well... No, you should not. But if he's like, I care. And then just living my life the same way you do is actually worse. I'm actually saying like I'm fundamentally understanding it's wrong. Then just then make them be the change. I'm just admitting that like be the change that we live is wrong. And I'm not like actively changing it.

I feel bad about it. I feel bad about it. You're telling me that being blind to it is better. I don't know. I don't know what's right and wrong. But I know that like you verbalizing a conscious decision. Yeah. While like acknowledging the problem but also being like, fuck it is is very interesting.

And I understand that all of us probably here are in a similar way. Okay, we're going to use him just as an example. All of us are aware of it and are not doing anything currently. Thank you. But Frankie. I stopped eating seafood for the record. But you can't say, but what the whole ordeal right now is you're not supposed to say, right? You're not supposed to say, right?

You're not supposed to say, how am I going to make a change? That's the whole point. Well, I'm just talking to that with my friends, you know. Like maybe we can find a place where we can find a change. I'm just working it out, you know. How about this? Maybe change starts here. Yeah, maybe 100 people can talk to you.

I mean, you can talk to 100 people. I'm not going to be one of them. But you can say, you can say, hey, from now on, I'm never going to use, drink out of plastic water bottles. And now we're getting somewhere. Exactly. But then out of the 100, so that's you making a decision not to do something consciously. And then out of the 100 people, there may be one that go, you know what, dude, I'm going to go with you on that. I'm not going to drink a water bottle from now on.

Then you just made a difference. Then he might talk to another hundred people or she might talk to another hundred people. Let's do it. You could also argue that. But I'm not one of those hundred people because for me it's convenience right now. We're in like the top like one percent of people that have a platform that can actually. So let's do it. I had this debate in the office two weeks ago and I was like, what are we doing here?

Okay. This is obviously wrong and I'm going to be honest about this. I don't. I have a water bottle that I carry. Okay. That I fill up. Problem is there's nowhere to fill up my water bottle. So I fill up my water bottle

My can whatever What is that called? Thermo Thermo whatever Like an orca thermos Thermis yes Whatever that thing's called I have nowhere to fill that up

Except taking a water from a water bottle And putting it in it Yeah that's so how does that work That's where I'm confused Don't show people that one That makes no sense to me So I'm carrying this thing around For like recyclable reasons right

But there's no water to fill up That's like big plastic is winning They are like so then I got to go over Grab a Fiji bottle open it and then pour it I think Just so what about the argument that they're using recycled plastic

So that's not just like burning a hole in the ground They're just using that for more water bottles What about that argument? I think that's better right? Yeah, that's better Yeah It's like the plastic that's just going to sit in sums Or whatever dumps

But there is also an argument You have to keep filling up water bottles Wait, have you seen that movie Don't look up? Yes, that makes you think Oh, comedy That's a horror film Great movie

It was getting really similar What'd you think? That actually was my conspiracy theory back in the day, I used to have a lot of conspiracy theories that we've already lived this life multiple times. And that there's like, we can't figure out Easter Island, we can't figure out the pyramids, we can't figure out how they created all these things by human hands. I say that we've already lived, already excelled, and then there's been whatever it may be and then restart of life. Back to caveman days. I love this. This is my conspiracy theory.

I love that. And also I watch a video on, you ever, you ever really want to figure out of they do the pyramids? you watch some of those simulate, they'll actually simulate how they did it. It's fucking nuts. But they still can't redo it. They can't redo it, but they figure out it was through water and levees. Oh,

they have an idea of it. Yeah. There's also a fairytale story that back in the day, there used to be no language. So everyone was able to communicate much better than actual this secondary communication,

which is called languages. They communicated like bats or something? No, people just communicated without communicating using language, which meant they understood, which means... Showing hands and stuff? I don't know. Or just like brain to brain.

So whatever. It's just everyone. So you know how ants, right? They can communicate. They don't need to have a verbal language for as we know, right? But ants can create something and they're an army. They're the only other species in this world that goes to war other than us, right? And they can build.

When do ants go to war? Hold on. Against other like colonies. Yes. They go to war. And then before the main guy goes out, like the soldier, to go seek for food, he says goodbye to the, goodbye to his colony and then leaves. Like, it's like a whole thing. You actually listen to ants.

Anyway, like read about it. Oh, there's other things that go to war. You know what Bug's Life was the first Pixar movie? Supposedly. No, I don't think so. Not as an army. As an army, yeah. Not as an army.

Right, going to war. Like a fight in a war. Yeah, yeah, that was an army. But like, they can build things that other insects can't build. So then what I was saying is there's a fairy tale. It's just a fairy tale that I was told when I was a kid. That people were able to communicate. And with that communication, they were able to achieve the greatest things.

Because you could argue that their communication was way more. efficient because we can't communicate. Even he can't communicate why he's contradicting. It's actually very upset and yelling at us. Because on this show, like you could argue that like 80% of when people are talking is just like waste and like waste of time. You have to be understanding. We can't understand.

So it's just they were able to build the pyramids and then, but there was like as a punishment, whatever, something went wrong and as a punishment, we were all separated and we lost the way to communicate and then given languages. And that created a separation. that's just a fairy tale. So I just like these things. It doesn't sound so fairy taley though. Huh?

It sounds like a horror film. If you, if it was true that we've lived a bunch of lives, like if you could go back in time previously and be part of like a civilization, what would it be? Previous to this one. Let's say like minimum like,

do I have to go back? Minimum like 300 years. What civilization would you, would you like to have been part of? Yeah. I want to go back to 1990s. 1990s? Yeah.

That was like, I mean, that was yesterday. Too recent. in the 1980s 90s. Like, I love I want, I liked when we were just getting into technology, but not too much into technology. Yeah. And like still respected

vinals and then yet used cassette tapes. What about the 70s? 70s or 70s? I wasn't allowed. I know. I wasn't either, but. Oh, that's actually a tricky one. I was going to say the Roy in 20s. Give me like 1962. Interesting cool stuff developing on that. 1962? Give me the Beatles coming out and give me

like the introduction of rock and roll. You know, some bad stuff was about to happen. Bad stuff's about to happen. I get it, but like, I'm just saying... Assassinations left and right. This is the communication that we lost right here. We can't communicate. But give me...

I understand that. A lot of bad stuff's happening, but there also was this change in the world, right? And a lot of things were happening, and I like chaos. Does anybody want to go forward? Yes. I don't know if I would want to.

That's why I say, I don't go back. Can I jump forward? Oh, you want to go forward. I want to jump forward. What if you go forward? What did you go forward? A hundred years and it's just nothing. Everything's going to go.

You know? I guess I'll just be by myself. Everything's just like in the matrix where it's all like burned out and there's ash in the atmosphere or something. I'm scared of the whole VR world right now. Let's talk about VR, yeah. Yeah. Shout to action. What was it?

Ready Player 1? Huh? I feel like our world's going to become Ready Player 1. Yeah, you can go down a real tricky path with that. I tried VR when I was home for the holidays. I rode roller coaster and I almost threw up. It's a crazy experience. Oh, it's nausea.

It's like I'm not, I think, I don't think I'm cut out for that. Like if the world becomes that, I'm going to be the guy that just throws up all the time. Have you seen the gloves that you can feel now? The haptic gloves? Yes. It's crazy. Where does that going? Have you seen an AI do a backflit?

Huh? Have you seen an AI do a backflit? I haven't. Oh, it's, that's... I've seen them dance. What's it, Boston robotics? It does that. Did you see the video that came out last week of the alien, like trying, or the robot, I'm sorry, to feel feelings?

It's like moving its head and its neck around. It's a really creepy video. We're, yeah, no, we're... I'm not ready for the future, quite honestly. I mean, it's changing too fast. The company that I work for Axon, on side of Barstool, I actually sell virtual reality training to police officers. And what they're doing with, like, haptic clubs, connection with smart devices. It is a very interesting world in terms of, like, where we're all going and how much virtual reality is going to play a path.

Because the experience that people are having in this metaverse are... Somebody just got married on the metaverse, no? I mean, Elon Musk believes, like, the greatest threat to humanity is artificial intelligence. Yeah, because he says, They're going to learn that we're useless. Correct. That's exactly the whole point. You can also put people through like a different experience where we need AI.

What are we doing? AI's job is to get rid of or make everything efficient as possible. We're going to be the thing that is the least efficient. We can't even communicate with each other. You can also put together like a whole world experience within a headset. So if you walk in a 20 meteor radius loop in this metaverse, it looks like you're walking in a straight line. But you're actually walking on that arc. So you could walk across the globe.

but a 20 meter radius room. So then all of a sudden you are, you're like confined in a small area, but you think you're out in this like, you know, you're playing the 18 holes of golf. You're doing whatever. You know,

right now I think it's the most beautiful time we go like golf, you could play that in the metaphors with your buddies. I'm definitely going to throw up though. Like I'm going to puke. I think that thing is, putting the headset on is like massively important.

So you need to make sure that that's like tight, it could be trained. Yeah. It could be trained. Also, we're at the very, very, very beginning. Oh yeah, we're pulling the cover. Think about in 200 years when they're just going to be contact. He doesn't even need 200 years.

I don't think. No. In the last, we know how much we've excelled in last 20. Yeah. The iPhone didn't even exist. We're going to pop a minute and we're going to be in a new world. Think about that.

There's different videos out there. It's like right now you can tell that you're in the real world versus the metaverse. Yeah, exactly. But over time. You won't know. Like right now, right? You know that you can take off the headset and then you're back in this world and like, I can touch you. And then, but maybe in the not too distant future, we won't know.

You won't know what we're and that You'll be like there makes you just push your chair back and go I don't know It's like Inception I need the thing that I spin it's to know Yeah you need the dreidel I need the dreidel to spin it's that way yeah yeah that way it's called a dradyl The little spinner top thing? I thought so it's a draydle I think there's that I think a version of that but I don't think that's what it is in the movie fair you know you're right He's got a badass one of the movie yeah it's great

But I should it's a great film or the people in that movie who really good They they dream to sleep it's like the opposite so he was in the real world right? Because it's a lot of The thing tipped. Right at the end, you don't know. It's like really, they left it. I'm with you. It waddled. Yeah.

But it was not supposed to wobble at all. And it wobbled. Which means he's in the real world. Yeah, I think he was in the real world. Because that's the whole thing. Like, it's not supposed to wobble at all if you're not in the real world. Makes you think. But like, were you even in the real world watching him and determining if he's in the real world.

I don't think we're in the real. Simulation. We all hold hands. So it feels like there's some realness to it. It feels real. It feels real. You're good. You're good.

Are you? Are you guys not going to do it or not? That felt real. Felt real. I will say that. I felt a little something there. That was special. It's good connection.

Yeah. We connected. You're still in the side. You guys are just isolated in the matrix. I don't think Trent and I want it to be real. No. I don't think many people are like jiving for the, that's why I'm saying I'm going back. I don't want to go forward.

So you're just going to be 100 years. You're going to be living the metaverse. I want to go forward. Yeah, but the further you go back, like you guys are saying the 60s and 70s, that's different. a couple hundred years, like that's, that's scary too,

because death becomes cheaper the further you go back. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? Totally. Shorter time. Like, yeah,

because like now is the, it seems like the best because it's just like everybody, for the most of a lot of people live as long as possible. If I have to live there. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going forward.

No, yeah. I agree with that. I don't want to go in either direction. There's going to be a lot of human rights. And you got to think about if I go further back, I don't want to be chased by T. I just,

I just don't want to deal with that. How many days you think you'd survive in the dinosaur era? How many days? I'll probably die in a day. I'd probably get stung by some bug and just... I would say you should read Homo sapiens. I bet you I could make it a week. What?

Yeah, right. What would you do? What would you eat? You know that you could drink water and the water could be literally... Yeah, you might get jardia, yeah, you might be a best. But you find that flowing water, you might have a better chance? You know what was the scary part of... Was it really scary part of that?

I'm certainly longer than any one of these three. You know what? I could probably make a week. You're a big target. Because I'll probably get stung or get poisoned in the first two, three days. It'll take my body about four, five days to just check out. Yes, like just slowly just die. I'll be dead here shortly.

Or during the wintertime, you have no idea how to stay warm. Can't create fire. The post credit scene and don't look up is all of us in the dinosaur era. Yeah. But only, some do survive. But like. That's why the civilization resource. starts.

That's right. But I don't know if I'm going to be amongst that group. No. The one, the survivors. I don't think I would want to be. No. That's a lot of pressure. You got to, like, find somebody to mate with.

Get more people in this place. Again, that's a lot of pressure. I don't know. Evolution's crazy. Elon said we're not making enough babies. Yeah, people don't want to have kids. The rate went down this year. Really?

Yep. That continues that we're just done. That's another one of... He wants to populate Mars, though, right? He's not, because I feel like, we got enough here no so we're if we continue on this trend well we won't have enough here or enough to bring to Mars yeah his big thing is that the population is actually not even close to enough it needs to be like accelerated otherwise we're not getting enough people as a guy you know what

let me let me ask you on this one's last time he was in an airport no but here's here's a case he makes that's another contradiction he says think about when you fly in an airplane and you look out in any given moment how many people do you see how many like civilizations do you see almost the whole flight, you see nothing. You see nobody living anywhere. That's a guy who hasn't been to LaGuardia or JFK recently. Because if you fly the East Coast, you fly from Orlando back to New York. Just because there's land does not mean

that they should be occupied. I think if you look out the window, almost the entire flight, you see a bunch of land that nobody's living on. Over where you live, yeah. But I disagree because just because there's land does not mean it should be civilized. Yeah, but his point is an enormous. You could fit the entire humanity. You live in Las Vegas, don't you?

You could fit every person on Earth shoulder to shoulder in the island. to Manhattan. Yeah, but you know that. That would be horrifying. Right, but the point being, there's a lot of space out there. But I actually, that brings me comfort to a degree. I like that we're spread out enough where we don't think there should be.

Just because there's space, we need to fill it up. There's other species that live on this earth that needs space. No, but it wasn't just space space. His whole thing was based upon the fact that like we're not going to have enough people to fulfill all the things that we're creating and jobs and all that, which right now, clearly we don't have enough people to fulfill jobs. You're telling me everybody. There's not enough jobs for the people right now.

It's actually the other way. His, his, his, what he said, which I'm going off of just fact, is that the entire, every human on earth could fit. For people right now. No, people aren't choosing them. There's jobs all over the place. Let me, I would say this is that. There's a, there's a shortage of, um, of labor. People don't, like, aren't taking the jobs.

What is Eli, what is Elon want all these people for? That's the question I'm smarter than I am, man. Put chips in him? He is smarter. He is smarter than all us, but he's also ruthless too. Like he's our friend. Elon? What up?

What up? What up? E. Yeah. Like, you guys are just referring to him. as Elon of the podcast here. This does feel like we need somebody to straighten us out a little bit. This has been the most this podcast that this podcast has been in a lot.

There's so much conspiracy theories. This is a lot right now. How many different formats as she sat in throughout this thing? I was actually thinking about that. I was like, what size chair would I need to feel that kind of level of comfort that you feel? I think we're going to be a big is that chair. We're going to Disney tomorrow.

What do you think about that? You guys are going to Disneyland? I think we might. Where? Magic Kingdom. This one right here. It's like 10 minutes away. There's four kingdoms, dude.

Oh, yeah. Well, there's also Disney, California. I'm sorry. Attitude, man. Magic Kingdom. You got to do to the, you should go to the animal kingdom and then do Avatar. Ooh. That's a great idea.

There's a great idea. Yeah, I haven't seen that. It's brand new. There's a ride, oh, shh. There's a ride that you can ride the, what are the dragons called? Yeah. Whatever. The dragons?

The dragons. The Dragons that you, Avatar dragons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, I haven't seen that movie forever. I love that movie. No. Do you? I do love that movie.

I like that movie. So good. It's also a great flying movie because it's always on. But you might get really nauseous on it. I did that and I got really nauseous. But it's great. It's like a full virtual reality thing. It's super fun.

They've never experienced Disney and I'm a very big Disney fan. I love Disney. I go to Disney every year. It's so much fun. The act tricks of it, the feeling. They're like, why are you so excited about? I'm like, it's just there's something about it. There's something about.

And Trent asked me specifically, what is it when you walk? in that you feel and I just don't know the answer. Have you gone to Disney in California? No. That's my favorite. Sorry. Sorry to the Orlando one.

Really? California Disney is my favorite. Smaller, right? It's smaller, but you have all the rides in one park and I don't need to like run across a different place to get to a park. But you need to go to the Star Wars world. Yes. It is incredible.

Rides of the Resistance, best ride ever been on my life. No way. Nauseating like screen stuff? No, no, no. It's like a full on experience. Like you're in the movie. Like you see Kylo Ren and stuff. Come on.

You're riding hovercrafts. This is what I'm talking about, dude. And there's stormtroopers that tells you to go to places. It's the best ride ever. There's stormtroopers that talk to you? They don't talk to you because stormtroopers don't talk. Do you not watch the movie? They're just like mean.

There's, well, some do some like defect. They just say, please proceed to the interrogation area. Finn talks. It's so cool. You need to go there. But then I had to do it like a lottery ticket where you have to do twice a day. It was 7 a.m. and noon where I had to like click to see if I can get into the ride and this was months ago though

Yes. I heard that one's awesome. I love cars. I love cars. Yeah. It's a Cars world. No, I'm excited. We're definitely going to go to Star Wars tomorrow.

We're definitely going to see the Magic Kingdom. I would love to take these guys to Epcot to do like the beers around the world. I actually only went to Epcot for like five. minutes. It's awesome. You just stop at every country and you have a different drink. Go around the world and then finish off at the Magic Kingdom again. You guys doing a full day then. We don't know. You need to go to a Universal, Harry Potter World. God, Harry Potter World is so good. Butter beer. I want to get a butter beer. You go to Hogsmead. Do you guys watch the reunion? Yes, I cried. I cried like a baby.

Love it. When the actor who plays Hagrid, says that I'm not going to be around forever, but Hagrid will. I literally, I bursted out tears. Oh yeah. Jesus. That was a fucking deep thing he said. Because he was like teary-eyed.

He goes, I may not be here forever. Like, I'm going to die one day, but my character will live on forever. So there's like one story that I've never told that's actually one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me. So I met Tom Felton. Okay. And he's a good friend with one of my friend,

and I ended up playing golf with him. No way. And so he'll remember this. So first hole, he said, hey, may, can you shoot the number from me or whatever? He's like, what do we got, 101? And I go, what was that? And I go, what was that? Right?

I was like, oh, okay, yeah, it's 101. Second hole, no joke. He's like, what do we got? 127 or something? I said, I looked, it was 127. I said, what's happening here? He goes, I'm a wizard. It's a Slytherin.

I'm a wizard. And I went, no, this is not just happen, right? And then anyways, fast forward. We kept in contact here and there. But he's a really nice guy, super cool. And then I was winning the KPMG, PGA championship. And on Saturday, he sent me Liquid Luck. And that was probably one of the coolest thing to get Liquid Luck sent to you by

Draco Malphe. I was like, what in the world? And then I felt so, it was just so cool. That's awesome. What a move. It was just so cool. I look back I'm like

That's a story That probably should tell One day How did he know the yard? He seems like a big guy I don't know He said there was a plate And he just assumed

He just happened to get it Two holes in a row Where were he like Had been like Rider Cup He had something He had like a seizure on the course And they like rushed him off

Yeah he's playing like The sled part of the rider cup No way Yeah He ended up being okay He was okay When was that this year Yeah

Yeah It was like a buzzer I was like a buzzer Around the golf course Being like holy shit It's okay I know USA won. I wasn't watching. I don't watch a lot of golf. No? No, I watched Dustin win the

Masters. That was my first Masters I've ever watched. What? Ever? I don't watch golf. You're not interested in it? Not really. The great Arnold Palmer once said, golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. This quote applies to investing as well. Sounds easy, I'm sure. Invest your money and watch it grow, but 90% of people lose money in the stock market. Just remember, Remember, remember. Remember. You can't control the markets, but you can control your risk. So how do billionaire investors control their risk?

They diversify their portfolio with alternative assets like Blue Chip Art. Most billionaires allocate 10 to 30% of their entire portfolio to art. The simple fact is blue chip art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% from 1995 to 2020. Jay-Z, a big art guy. Is that right? Recent billionaire. Love's art. Buy his art.

Sounds like it's working out for him. Right. And he's a smart guy. He's not buying. I'm sure he likes the art, but he knows where that art is going, sort of like this ad read is saying, where blue chip art,

is that what they're calling it? Oh, yeah. He knows that that art is going to go up and he's just going to, his stack is going to get even bigger. He always hear about diversifying your portfolio or your profile. Say again?

You always hear about diversifying your portfolio. You do, yeah. And you never really know what that means. Put your money in different buckets. And art seems to be one of those. things that is very intimidating and you feel like you should do it or you'd want to do it but the smart people are doing it the smart people are doing it this alternative investing platform which is masterworks i'm very happy we found masterworks this alternative investing platform

lets you invest in paintings by legends like Andy warrell war hall what is it Andy warhol warhol warhol the Campbell soup cans mona maryland Monroe and Picasso hit me with the Picasso Pablo Picasso died in 1973. Without spending millions. Over 300,000 people have signed up. And if you want priority access to their newest paintings, log on to masterworks. That's masterworks.art slash foreplay.

That's masterworks.art slash forwardplay. See important disclosures at masterworks. I.O. slash disclosures. I watched Dustin win the master's. I was supposed to learn the gust of golf course because Butch told me I'm a disgrace for not knowing all the holes. So I watched. So when you were watching Dustin,

where you're like, oh, these holes look cool. You've never seen him before? I've never watched it. That's great. Actually, that's the lie. I watched Bubba hit the playoff shot on the 18th hole. So he sliced it, right? Oh, that was the 10th hole, but yeah, it was in the playoff.

Okay, well, there you go. He had the big hook with the win. Whatever that hole was. I watched him make like a three-footer or whatever. When Tiger won in 2019, you didn't watch? No. I didn't watch it. Sorry.

I watched him win the U.S. Open against Rocco. Yeah. What do you watch? Tori five? I don't really watch TV. I either watch sports live, especially if you bet on it.

But not golf. And then golf, I don't bet on golf either, so. It's okay. He's not upset. I can't even if you watch Tiger with the Masters, right?

Had to see a couple. I'm getting fucking torched by this time. I watched Tony Fienau hit it in the water. Okay. And then I quit. So you keep like you would quit. So he hit it in the water on the, on the sorry Tony.

He hit it in the water on the par three. 12th hole. And then that time, who was it? It was in Molonari, Francisco Molonari, hit it in the water. Brooks hit it in the water. And then Molonari hit it in the left on the par five. And at that time, Tiger hit it on the green.

I thought I quit. That was my. You all gets over. That's insane. I'm going to go back to my dad. Yeah. The greatest sports moment ever is about to happen. I'm done.

Well, I was rooting for Roaring. I mean, not right. I was rooting for Tony. Yeah. Tony's your guy? Yeah, it just, well, there's some people I just like to watch. You watch your friend. I don't really know Tiger. I know Tony. I don't know Brooks. I don't know Brooks. I don't know Molinari. I know Tony. I know Tony. I don't know Tony. I got to root for you got to root for your buddy. Always got to root for your friends. And I go, come on, Tony. And they hit in the water. I go, all right.

It's over for Tony. And the tiger hit in the green. I was like, yeah, I mean, it seems like he's going to win. And you went and stood in the middle of the green while the guys were hitting their approach? And like, what did you do the rest of your day after you turned the TV off? I want to practice. Trying to win my own golf tournaments, man. We're different. That's true. I respect Tiger.

I mean, I can't believe he came back and won. It's crazy. I did not watch the entire 72 holes. Apologies. I think Tiger would actually really respect that. I mean, I went to practice.

If you heard this story, he'd be like, that's right. I'm sure he's never watched me win, so maybe the idea of you going out and just practicing and turning it off being like whatever. He probably won. I was like,

he's going to win. I mean, he just hit in the green. That was like the one of the only holes. What? It's just, I'm going to go get mine. Yeah.

One of the only holes that he's... I just read his book last night. There's a new book. About what is the title? About him winning the U.S. I'm sorry, U.S. Open. Him winning the Masters at age 21. Oh, yeah.

He wrote that book. Yeah, I just read it last night. Were you inspired? I stayed at real fast. And I read... Started and finished last night? No, no, no. I didn't finish it.

I read probably like halfway through. Jesus. Gosh, weird. It's a molder. You ever read, Frankie? I tried to. I have a new book that I'm trying to. read it's um and i haven't gotten my hands on it yet i thought i saw these pictures called master dinner

it's pretty cool it's it's cool to see a first person narrative i love first person narrative so i was reading it and see how he felt but then i also was with my friend amy and then i said i don't know how i'm supposed to correlate to this because this guy's a different so it's a complete different player i mean he's tiger woods like even if he tells me how to do it i don't think i can do it yeah Project Hail Mary is the book I'm going to start reading. I've gotten 10 to 15 DMs about this one specific book kind of ties into our space talk. It's a fiction, it's a science fiction book.

And apparently it's such a good story that it's going to end up being like the greatest science, like space movie ever. Just the way this guy wrote. Yeah, Project Hail Mary, apparently supposed to be like the best book. What is that movie called? With Matt Damon? Oh, Martian?

Yes. You know that won an award Would be the best comedy? I mean Comedy? Yeah He is a pie It's pretty funny

But like I think it was just We want to give these guys an award He colonized Planet Mars Yeah With his own shit With poop With poop

Yeah it's amazing Poop potatoes I feel like I want to get a lot of haters right now Because I told him I don't watch The Master Honestly if anyone has lasted This long in this podcast

They are fucking psychotic Yeah All the shit that we've talked about Yeah They're at minute 48. Listen us. They have no takes about you. Sorry.

What are we at? Oh, thank God. Nobody's going to last this long. No, no. You're fine. I'm not going to get hated on by people being like, you don't watch golf. What's wrong with you? There's actually the time to get the takes out that you don't want anybody here.

Yeah. Ever. No, we're in the dog days of the podcast right now. Yeah. No one's going to listen to it. If they made it this far, like they should get something. Somebody got stuck behind like an accident on the highway in there, just grinding through the late part of the podcast at this point. Yeah, this is great.

I'm dodging. I'm dodging the haters right now. This is just kind of what we do. I can't do anything right sometimes. What a beautiful setting this is right now. Me too. Can we use your clubs? Yeah, can we just go play?

She goes, no. You can rent it. No, don't touch my clubs. Okay. I've seen you hit. They'll be too short. You get paris. I can't use those things anyways.

Was that a shot again? Take a shot at me. Yeah, I've seen you hit it. I club does, I don't like dents on my hosel. Am I the only one that impressed you in the game of golf out of this group? Oh, my God. what a dumb question that is. I think it's amazing.

Trent impressed me because I thought he was going to like finish a hole. And he played good some holes. All right. He helped you guys out. Hell yeah. He helped you guys out on like two of the holes, right? Three of the holes. Yeah.

He had a couple of T shots we took. I remember that? Low expectations of nice. Yeah, I don't give a fuck. I mean, I don't give a fuck about how my golf game goes. Although I will say I've, that has changed recently with the,

with the tillery and the breaking 100. But when you generally don't care about something, it makes it way easier. Yeah. I'm going to try that. All right, we're at 60. What is it? Four minutes now?

Yeah, we can let you go now. Any last questions? Conspiracy. Mermaids are alive. Have you heard that conspiracy, Frankie? I've seen the mockumentary about the mermaids. Mockumentary? What is a mockumentary?

It's like a super convincing documentary that's like fake. I love that. Technically a mockumentary. Huh? The office is a mockumentary. It's a documentary of the American working. So like what we do in the shadows? I mean yeah I mean the this this mermaid one my brother sent to me and we both were convinced

for several hours that like mermaid show is hilarious have you seen the one where the vampires and the wolf fights and then he jumps off the building I've actually only seen the movie but I heard the show is good you watch the show hilarious yeah the movie's great the vampire and then the the werewolf a lot to get in a fight and he starts like ripping off his clothes he's humongous and he gets this he has to pick a he has to pick a what do you call uh this weapon and he picks a squeaky toy and then he just throws it off the building and the whirlwinds just jumps off the building. Have you seen what we do in the shadows

Frankie? You would like it. It's hilarious. It's really a funny ass man. I don't even know what this is. It's a TV show too. But it's like vampires living. This is the movie I haven't watched a show. But it's vampires living in today's world like and like a realistic look at what it would be like. It's like an energy vampire.

It's so funny. Taco Wahidi. The Baron. Is he in the movie? He's in the movie and I think he's part of the show. Do I see that guy's name right? It sounded good. I don't know. I watched drunk history.

Please tell me you guys I've seen drunk history. I've seen it, but I don't watch a ton of it. It's hilarious. I learn a lot on drunk history. Really? Yeah, it's just funny to watch. Do they actually know what they're talking about? Yeah.

Oh, that's good. Sometimes it's annoying. Because they're drunk? Yeah, sometimes it's kind of annoying. But there's some that are really, really funny. I got to watch more stuff. I don't even, like, I don't know any of these. get some culture in your life

get some comedy in your life this is a culture podcast we got it all right dania we're gonna let you go thank you one last question you're gonna win this week I will do my best I gotta do my best

she doesn't even know the golf course you know but it's a golf course I don't know what course we play I don't even know what time looks like she just wants to go to Disney now she doesn't even want to check that's not true I done my work I've done my work but there's not much more

I can do other than Ollie he keeps asking me if I'm ready to play this golf course I said I have no I don't know the golf course. Hey, Ollie. Good. He says they're ready. She liked your sandwich.

He said it's a monster sandwich. He's proud of that sandwich. Don't tell him no shit. We should just get Ali on the podcast. Then we get the real stories. Oh, Ollie. Riggs said that he wants to put you on a podcast for real stories. Rigg said that he wants to put you on a podcast for real stories.

when we're done he said he's gonna write a book about me and sell it okay well it's like one of your smart craziest things I said to you oh stop following me you said to him what he was catty for you that's an awesome line

tell me first stop follow me man it was a little more aggressive than that I'm sure a couple of bombs in there I'm sure stop fucking following me and he was going but it's my job but what do you want me to go it's my job I go oh my god

That's my joke And then he goes I'll be over there I go thanks It's my job Just do my job You don't realize How much the caddy

Follows you around Until he's literally Following me around Everywhere I go I was not in the mood Stop You're carrying your clubs I didn't want my clubs

Just go over there Just leave my clubs And just go It's the fault Well they were saying What was it They were trying to say Like

Why don't we have carts Out on the tournaments And then I said Oh I'm gonna put this On the podcast Actually So there's like a whole debate on one of the tournaments having carts right now. And I said, and obviously I'm like a traditionalist in the sense.

I go, why do we need to have carts? Like this is an athletic sport. The golf course is hilly and it's too tiring for you. Don't play. And I genuinely, that's how I feel. And I said to Ollie, we have golf carts now. Let's just say we have golf cart at a tournament. I get range finders, which I think is ridiculous.

And then I have a Greens book, which I also think is absurd. What do I need him for? Oh. Yeah, Jesus. I go, I don't think you... Oh, you want to get down here? I don't need him for anything. I got a yardage gun?

Got a yardage gun, a golf cart and a Greensbow. You're literally no use for me. Except... Maybe they'll even you out a little bit. It's ridiculous. I mean, I go... Emotional support? Yeah, I think there's some of that.

You know? We got to draw a line somewhere here. At that point, just get rid of caddies. He's your therapist. No, no, no, I don't need my therapist in the middle of the golf course. No, no, no. Yeah, I'd rather not have him with me. Just be out of the side of the road.

But I don't know. It's just, it's interesting. The yardage gun thing, I mean, he's really good at getting numbers. He goes how to map the golf course. He used to make yardage books. So he doesn't have that advantage anymore. He's like, I'm really good at looking. Yeah, yeah, this is just standing on the second floor.

He's like, I'm really good at reading greens. I'm like, bro, I got a greens bug. I don't need you either. He doesn't really confuse. He doesn't seem that unsaid about it. No, he knows. And the only thing he's doing is carrying the bag right now. And then now we're talking about cards.

It's a good sandwich maker. That's why you keep them around That's why I don't tell them it's shit We gotta keep it Yeah don't tell them that No Yeah but yeah I told them I'm like sooner or later

Might as well just have an AI With me Because I don't need it We go We're back and we're back Back in the headset Back in the headset Gotta remember to take that thing off

Let's just start. Yeah. I'm ready. I found what you. So we got Lee Bryce. Star, country star. Mega star. Mega star.

You are a megastar. Great song, writer. When it comes to the hits, I also know how to put them out, man. You can be modest, but we'll say for you, you're a superstar. Man. Is that weird to you?

Yes, very weird, because I'm not a superstar. I just, but I will say, I put the bar high. You know, I listened to, like, music that was really, really, really good. And so whenever I go out to do something, like, that's it. I kind of set, go for that bar. And so, you know, maybe the hit songs

have come from that. Just kind of like, Daddy said, if you could do something to it right. Like, so who would you listen to? Be the best. I mean, well, it started with like gospel music, but then like it was like George Strait and like Garth Brooks and like I'm thinking if I'm going to do something, I want to be Garth Brooks. You know what I'm saying?

I want to like change the whole world, you know. Are there other inspirations from other types of music? Oh, yeah. Like Brian McKnight and Boys of Man, Whitney Houston and, you know, Guns and Roses and Pearl Jam and just everything really anything that kind of any whether it was like one song per band or albums and albums per band anything that moved me i don't care what genre was ray charles you know when you're about to record a new album are you i've always wondered this are you like listening to music to try and get a feeling because that to me would i'd almost want to like copy the thing

i'm listening to yeah i'd get like a new sound i really don't do that because honestly the people like, what you've been listening to lately? I'm like, myself. I don't mean that because I'm listening to myself. I mean that because I'm just for a song, just had to go like demo and figure out how I want it to feel in the studio. I'm in there recording. Then I'm checking mixes.

Then I'm, it's about time all that's done. The day's gone and I'm home with a three kids. And I ain't had time to really do nothing, but maybe turn on the radio. Maybe, you know. So I don't really do that. I just, I have so, I'm backed up so far with music that I've written and recorded over the years. because music comes out so slowly,

I'm backed up hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of songs and recordings. And so I've already kind of been thinking ahead for like, you know, 15 years of... You carry like a notebook. You just jot stuff down? I do have... Well, I have a thing called an iPhone now with the list. And so I will put in little ideas like, you know, we were on... Actually, we were on the golf course.

Me and Philip, he's my caddy today, but he's my tour manager at all other times. and we were on the golf course and we were talking about something and he said something and beer drinking opportunity came out. It was like, this is just a good beer drinking opportunity, right? Like to be out here on the golf course, whatever. And so I just started going, beer drinking opportunity. You know, just singing into the phone, wrote it down then. We wrote the song and it's probably going to be on my next record.

It might be a smash him. Wow. That's amazing. Well, shout out of him. Yeah, he's going. Dude, you guys came to New York and I saw you live. It was one of the best shows. It was right before this whole pandemic came around.

It was like the last thing that I did was Valentine's Day of 2020. That was right. Right before the world shut down. And I just remember how amazing a show that was. But then also I got to go on your bus, which was the coolest thing ever. And then see how you guys actually record and play music on your bus. Yeah. I mean, I had to build a studio there so that when I get home, I'm not going,

back to work. Yeah. Like I've always been doing for so long. And Sarah's like, I mean, okay, so you're gone all the time and you come home and you got to go back to work and you're only home for two or three days. I'm like, you got a point. So build a studio on a bus so that I can write the stuff out there, which I already kind of do anyway.

And I'm like, well, I just get it to where I can record the stuff out here for the most part. All the ideas and all the time I had to spend to kind of make it fresh, make it new, make it different. So I get all that work done out there so that when I come home. for two days I could just be home like baby give me the kids I got them go go lay in bed or go shop do whatever you want to do I got the kids you know and then so that it really was a priority in life that of why I did that is it when you're on tour and

you're on the road are you just sort of also in kind of music mode yeah all the time it kind of it switched over to that because it used to be in Nashville got up every day you know you go maybe maybe right at nine or go to the studio at 10 or whatever it may be you know, I'd be up, you know, but now it's like, I do so much in my studio now. It's like when I get on the bus, it's like, now I can click on. I know I can't do it so much home stuff from the bus, you know, from California. So I get in that mode and like I'll, like the other night, I got into this thing. And it was just a demo, a new song.

And I started just singing on it. And I was like, ooh, we could do like something right here, five o'clock in the morning, you know. I'm like, I got to be up in life. like three hours you know so can't turn your brain on you i know i get a music moment i get on the bus now it's kind of switched over to that and then when i get home i'm just getting good because now my brain kind of goes eh i'm not going to go do that right people call you want to come right i'm like man i can come right you can come on the bus like next week you know but i got one of those guys that was always going to be music yeah yeah yeah i'd be like two years old and usually you got to know

where your two-year-old is you know and you're even in the house or something when you're growing up but like my parents never did have to know because like my grandma's house she had a little piano and like I was in there just playing hearing little melodies and things for hours so they knew where I was you know started writing songs and I was nine man playing guitar and piano and recording and pretending I figured everything I heard on the radio that they like the person singing did all that that's what I thought in my head I was like well I better start writing songs if I want to sing and I better start figuring out how to record it and I better start learning how to play guitar and piano and whatever else is on that little keyboard you know drums and that's crazy

because we were walking around what is the water city walk last thing oh yeah yeah we did tour the whole thing's insane right and there's just these crazy lights and restaurants everywhere but we were saying like we built that like people that were born like we were born with brains and arms yeah they literally like built all this and that's just crazy yeah got yeah that's true It is true. A little worried about the next generation. But that's why I put my foot down there out of the farm and then boys. And even truly, you know, she's four.

I'm like, uh-uh. You know, she's like out of the farm and she'll do something or throw something down. I'm like, you're going to do it yourself, you know? Daddy, can you come? I mean, nope. I'm like, you figure it out. Like, figure it out. Yeah.

Like that is a part of building your brain. Right. into a muscle that can actually do something, you know? Yeah, I think we're all losing that a little bit. Definitely. Well, we all got cell phones and we stopped forgetting numbers. You used to know every number of everybody you ever knew in your head. And now you don't know any of them.

I still know some of the ones from MacDen, right? I know my best friend. You know? Yeah. But any new number you've had in the last 10 years, you probably have zero idea. When you're trying to log into something and it gives you those like verification codes and you have to try and remember the six numbers to bring from one screen to the other. Oh, yeah.

You're like, I can't copy of me. What? And then something's going to throw a letter in there and you're like, all right. And now it's gotten to the point now where your phone recognizes that you have to do that. And it'll jump it in that for you. It'll say, were these the six numbers you wanted? So you're right. And you're like, phone, like, give me this one.

Like, let me try to remember these six ones. And I still can't, and I can't do it. Our brains are getting fat. It's like, what was it? Whatever that movie was where the people went out in space, the cartoon movie. Wally? Yeah. Yeah, Wally.

They went out in space and they just all got fat. Our brains are just getting fat because we're not doing anything. That's right. I say that kind of, you know, with a grain of salt. We're doing something. We're sitting here talking right now. But it is so different. We're so reliant, right?

We're so like, yeah, we are relying on that stuff. But that's why I try, like, I have, like, zero social media on my phone. I have accounts. I'll take pictures. I send them over to my social media guy. Like, man, you know, I was in this moment. Da-da-da-da. Here you go.

But, like, I don't have it on my phone so I can sit there and scroll. You don't want to scroll. Go and, because if I get there, I'm going to, right? And so little things like that and, like, my kids, I'm not going to have social media until a certain age when they're, like, old enough to make a good, like, educated decision on this is good for me or not, you know? Also, like, boredom is a good thing. Like, you were saying, when you were two, you just happened upon that piano and you were doing anything else. So when you just sit and do nothing, that's when you start to figure out your own brain and, like, this is what I want to do.

Right. And I'm going to do that. When you have a cell phone or an iPad all the time, you're told what you want to do. Yeah, I just feel like it's got to be limited. Yeah. Because some people, there's no limit at all. And I'm worried about those people. Yeah, man, I'm jealous of that.

I'm not a parent, so I don't know that. Totally. People, they just want to give them the iPad because they want 20 minutes. And I get that. I've done that. I get that 100%. Yep. Just at some point I might wait.

This ain't good for them. I only do that. Because then they're like, well, give me the iPad. I'm like, wait, dude, we're outside in the mountains. Like, what are you talking about an iPad? You know, like, no. No. No, no, no, stop.

Back up. Let's back up a step or two here. I love the technology we live in right now. It's amazing. It is. We can get all your music at the tip of our fingertips is amazing. It's insane. But I watched some of these movies.

Like, I watched that movie The Tender Bar the other night on Amazon. It's about. I haven't seen that. Awesome. Okay. It's awesome. It's from Long Island, this bar. But I watch, I watch like these guys, like, they're at a Yale party.

And they're just sitting around, talking. And I was thinking of my, yeah, you're a Harvard guy. I was thinking of myself just like, when I go to a party around with my buddies, Like someone's got a phone out or we're talking about something or we're watching something on TV. And like, I don't remember the last time we just like sat around and like looked around and talked. And I felt really jealous of that time of being able to just like even like their eye contact was better because they're actually looking at each other. It's just a different era. The last, the last time that happened was when I went and watched around at Augusta.

Oh yeah. Get yourself sitting in a chair. Go back in time. Right beside a bunch of people and ain't nobody got a phone. It's amazing. And you're like, there's nobody doing this. So everybody's like, well, hey, what's your name? I'm Al from, you know, Greenwood, South Carolina.

Oh, cool. I'm from Nashville. You know, what do you do? And actually, you know, like everybody, I was like, it's a go. It's like you're back in time. It's a time capsule. And that really is a time capsule. And I was like, as soon as you said that, that moment stuck in my head because it's only been like, I've been very long.

Other than when I go on my camping trip. Yep. Put the cell phones away. But then I'm like, where's my cell phone? I want to videotape this. It's going down the river. We can't get away from it, man. I'm doing an amazing Knicks game the other night.

They hit a buzzer-beater. And I just had my phone out to take it. And it's like, I was trying to watch it over the phone, but why is that my first instinct to like film the thing that everyone was like to be a way? You saw it was through your phone. I forget who the community is, but there's. I actually looked on the side. No one will believe that.

Oh, I don't believe that. No way. The video is too good. But I'm letting you know that I'm trying to make conscious, like, efforts. That's good. I'm happy for you. it and then also look it's like why the fuck am i it because it is psychotic when you

think about it and i think there's a comedian who has a joke about it where you're watching everything through a filter like if you're your kids play why are you not just watching one of my buddies's weddings and the parent just watched the kid get married through the freaking phone dude i think jack white came out on the stage and was like had somebody come out

before him and said hey guys i want you i know we want you all to have the best experience of your life tonight and jack really wants da da da da he's like so we're gonna ask that you don't pull your phones out and videotape and it's not because we don't want you to have the footage it's because we want you to experience this concert

like it's supposed to be experienced and not through a little four inch screen and it was like so polite and so good and like but they meant business and like so nobody was allowed to pull out your phones you know I think it was Jack White it was somebody cool like yeah go back and look at that footage it's you're just like

like what do people what do most people do with that footage nothing nothing is a huge different yeah from the back of the, from the back of a concert venue and you look out at that shot, right now, it's all the phones and the flashes. And then you look at a picture from like the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. It's all hands going up, right? I'm sure there's moments where there, but there's just so many freaking phones. It's crazy.

It's nuts. We sound old, but I think we're right. But I think you are to blame for it. I mean, I do it all the time. My screen time is like 18 hours a day. I know. I know, man. I'm like, oh, my God.

That's a smart setup for you to. Is my mic not working? Oh. It's getting a little bit hard. I'll say it's tough. Like, when Taylor Swift or somebody's in town, your entire Instagram feed is everyone posting, literally every story you see the whole night

is everyone just posting the same video from the Taylor Swift concert. And it's like dominates. It's got to be a weird complex for you though because you want the videos and the pictures because then you become more popular and more people listen to your music. So it's kind of like when you look at that.

It's a double-edged sword for sure. It's a very fine line double-edged sword. I mean, it really is. So when I'm sitting here saying, I don't have social media on my phone. It's hard for me to say that, you know, because I want people to be able to engage with me. And that's why I still do get it done through social media pages. But just me personally, I know what time it takes for me.

Like mindless time, like time that I could be doing something else more. So for me, I personally said, I don't want it on my phone. Actually, I didn't even make the conscious decision. I got a new phone because my other one broke. I just never took the time to download the new app like any of them. So I was like, and I went, wait. And I caught myself looking for like Instagram or something one day. I went, oh, it's not here.

Or never mind. And I went, well, I've caught myself looking a bunch for like no reason. And I was like, I think I'm just going to like leave it all, all of it off. Now I like there's just, the anxiety kind of gone off of. You really don't have time. We're here at the Hilton Grand Vacations tournament of champions. Yes. And you haven't played golf in four months.

There's a rumor going around that you haven't swung a golf club. I haven't. I have not. And, but I feel like. Like whenever you're at our level of golf, sometimes, like, when you just don't play, like, you just come back and play, like, better. When you're not thinking about it and I'm not sitting here trying to, like, work everything out in my head and try to fix everything and one, like, one little, like, hit a few balls

and I think I'm going to fix my whole freaking golf game. So you're about to play in a pro am and then you're about to play for four days. Yeah, so the program's going to be, you know, it's a little more fun laid back. It is. So I'm getting, I'll get my swings in today. So you're nervous about that, though? Like, there's not. I, I, well, I'm not. Today the program is fun. I've had the same folks like bid on me every year.

Oh, that's right. And I actually had a fun time every year. So today's like playing around, around and golf of my buddies. Yeah. So I get my swings in. And then I usually would be really nervous about the tournament tournament. But A, I'm not going to win it.

So I'm just going to go have fun. Because every time you put more pressure on yourself, like the worst you do. So I've learned that in the last five years are doing this tournament. So I think the less pressure I put on myself The more fun I'm going to have The better I'll do And then the more fun I'll have Less expectations

And then you end up Overachieving your goal You have a great day That's what Trent does The same music I don't set the bar Like this high That are way down here

Yeah right now I'm just gonna have fun This is a great tournament This is a fun time All the people All the same folks A lot of the same folks This is a very cool

It is fine. It is fine. Yeah. And we'd heard a lot about it and we've had folks here that been trying to get us out for a few years. Yeah. This is an extremely cool of that. We're going to play in this next year.

Yes. Yep. Even just like the hotel vibe last night. Like everyone there. You got John Lester running into elevator. That was. We were in the, so Frank and I are waiting for the elevator in the lobby.

Michael Waltrip gets off the elevator. And we're like, that's pretty crazy. We get on. Marty Fish is already in the elevator. Doors are closed and we're about to go up and a leg flies in to stop the door. John Lester jumps down. Yeah.

And we're just like, hold the door. And we're just like, what world are we living in it? It is a very cool event. The vibes are so great. Yeah. Yeah, I think we should play in it next year. Yeah, they did a great job. Hilton Grand Vacations, tournament of champions.

Great players here. We had Danielle King on yesterday. Isn't she awesome? We play with her every year. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. And she's, and you know what? Every year we play with her.

Myself or like Cole Swindell, and I introduced her to Randy Hauser last year. So you got to play with Danielle. She's just so cool. She's like, and she talks junk the whole time. But she'll end up shooting like six under. Like when she's playing with you, she's not even trying.

And she's like, looks up in two days and she's like, top of leaderboard. She's like, and then we go away and she starts trying too hard. I'm like, trying too hard. You need to have more fun like when you do with us

because like you shoot like lights out. She's like, shut up. Yep. We had her on yesterday for about an hour. We just talked about space and conspiracy theories. She'll talk about whatever. If this world,

is even real. Mermaids, the whole deal. So what's the, what's the music plan now for 2022? I'm starting kind of a new record, which I say that, but I've already had stuff in the bag for a long time.

Yeah. But I'll start going, all the songs I'm going to do, a hundred of them, get them doing them down to 50, get them doing it down to 20. Who's a part of that process? Me.

Just you? Yeah. You don't bounce it off like any specific people. Like, hey, do you like this one more than this? It's got to be so hard to take away 80 songs. Well, because people,

everybody's got a different opinion. And I'm like, I don't want, I don't want all your opinion. I want to make a record I love. So we're music. You know what I mean? I'm the ones who got to look back on it. Yeah. Next year, 20 years from now and go, I did something because somebody else still wanted me to.

And I've learned that lesson too, you know. And then just honestly, we're hitting the road. I mean, we're, we did it kind of like flipped our whole set around, put a bunch of old stuff back in the set. A bunch of brand new stuff in the set. We're doing like a long show now or like getting up there. We might play two hours, two and a half hours. Jesus. Because we get up there, I'm like, why are we going to do this if we don't get up there and enjoy it?

This is like our favorite thing. Let's do this as long as we can. So, you know, we'd play like a 75-minute set or a 90-minute set or a 90-minute set. Well, now we've got plenty of music. We're just going to get up there and point. You got a great band, too. Oh, yeah, I do. It's a great guy.

On the drums? He's a tiny. That guy is a lunatic on the drum set. Yeah, he's just like a hand-to-eye, kind of freak of nature or anything. You have to see this guy. He can play tennis, golf, ping-pong. It didn't matter. I mean, he's a physical kind of a phenomenon, like what he can physically do.

Wow. He, he, like, won this competition, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Guitar Center World drummer. He's like, number one guy. Drum on.

See how freaking amazing he is at the drums. I actually, he gave me, yeah. Great movie. He gave me the sticks that he uses for you, the white sticks as Lee Bryce band on. And I used them. We have, like, this, like, joke band at Barcelona. And I've been using them for the past, like, probably four. four or five shows.

And I always throw sticks out to the crowd, but I always keep those. And I got two drunk last time, and I threw his sticks out. Oh, no. So Donnie's got to get me some more sticks. They're so good. They're like, my size or everything. I fucking love them. That's awesome.

Yeah, man. Every time I listen to one of your guys, I was like, those are just good guys that just make good music. And it really adds to the experience. I appreciate it, man. You know, we got good guys who've been together for a long time, and that makes a big difference. We've been a band out on the road and, like, not only playing together, but, like,

living together. Totally. We're going buses and hanging all the time. and on airplanes and airports and times that aren't very fun and like you still can hang with each other and not like bust each other up you know so yeah it's good we're looking forward to live music and I'm just start I'm going to start making this next record here very like I can imagine going from 100 songs I'm excited I'm excited to like me too too it's really like 500 down to 100 and 100 stop give me anxiety I know it's tough yeah it is because I write something new like it's every other day so I'm like oh I really like these new ones you can't forget like the ones you wrote 10 years ago that were still great that just weren't ready for a project at that time or right for a project is it more lyrical or is it melody it's all it's all of it combined like

where I'm at my life what's this record gonna feel like I don't want to feel these songs fit that bill like right now if you're if you're walking to the range and something hits you will it be a melody will it be a lyric will you see something like oh that guy would probably be more of a line I mean there's a melody I'm not going to necessarily hear okay the quiet golf course. I'm not my, but it's more like somebody says something it triggers a thought and it might be a thought or a line or a title

and that's what I'll go. You're so cool. Pull it out, put my phone, type it in, be like, all right, come back to it later. I don't know if you saw that get back documentary about the Beatles that they just put out in Disney Plus? I did not. It's insane. It's like nine hours of them making the Let It Be album. Did you watch it on your phone? I did not. I watched

it on the TV. But Paul and I heard this was really good. It's amazing. And Paul and John at one point talk about how they, well, actually, this wasn't in the Let It Be Out. This wasn't in this documentary. It was the one that I watched on Hulu. I watched so many Beatles documentaries. But Paul at one point talks about how he just found a new chord

by walking into a music store and some guy played something. Yeah. And he's like, now that's not something I've ever heard in my life. And then you go back and he says what song it was in. It's just like, it's amazing that he walked by, I heard something. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, shit.

That's going to be the melody of my new song. Yeah. It's like a little trigger, man. you have to have some sort of gift to hear that I walk by and just noise maybe I don't know it is it has to be I don't know he's like I just

Trent walks by a music store he just hears a bunch of clanging and bang and you walk by you hear a platinum record you know what I mean so there's a huge difference yeah definitely go to a music store and hear some out of it like oh that I get that okay well that's a cool idea yeah that's awesome man I'm excited for your new new stuff and you ever can a song

and then like resurrect it well I say can I mean my can is still just back in the vault Yeah gotcha All of them are in the vault And then somewhere And now there are a lot of songs

That I completely forgot about 100% Would never probably thought about it again But I have them all like You know somewhere listed Or da da da da I'm like Oh man That's right

Listen to it and it's like That was so good I need to go like Record that bring it back to life Like you said And like you know I wrote it 20 years ago. You ever give a song of someone else?

Yeah, I gave a couple of songs that I, you know, early on I was like broke as a joke, you know, and couldn't pay my bills. And so Garth Brooks recorded a song. Yeah, a big one, right? You know, and Eli Young Band recorded Tim McGraw, Chessie, but I don't get a lot of that stuff lately because I'm always, like I said,

going through my own stuff, trying to get my stuff together. I need to get it together and, like, get some more songs out there because I got so many. I need to get them pitched. It's good going to be. cut him. Hit us with it. Let's get this guy of the range.

Yeah, yeah. You got to start fighting. I might skip it today. He's like, stop asking. I have anxiety. You're going to go hit a golf shot. Swing. First hole.

All right. Well, good luck this week. Thanks, man. We appreciate it. Thanks for having me, man. This is a good, this is a good time. I'm glad you are here because, like I said, this is a great, great tournament. You're going to have fun.

We'll be back. This is a cool tournament. We're going to come to a show. All right. Oh, yeah. All right. Thanks, man. Thank you.

All right. That was great.
