announcement, for those of you in Melbourne, we have a watch party.
Yeah.
On Saturday, starting at noon, at the Great Northern Hotel, we are going to have a watch party.
You wouldn't believe it.
We are, I believe, sneaky popular in Australia.
Met a million stooly bar stool.
Stoley, Australian fans.
Aussie Stoley's.
Yeah, I still don't really believe it.
Yeah, and I know a lot of them seem to have found us on YouTube, which is weird.
A lot of different channels.
They love YouTube, down.
I love YouTube.
You know what I will say?
We have run into a lot of Aussie Stooleys.
the people that we've run into, I would say a lot of them,
I don't know if they'll be able to get into a bar.
They're young kids.
It's a good point.
We might be just huge.
And also it's the opposite.
We're like a really older dude.
True.
60 year old dude was like, maybe we could set up a kid's zone.
He's like, man, try and hit that 140.
That's true.
But one kid, we're like, how do you know that, sir?
Said that to him.
He's like, I don't know, I just watch it.
That put is international, which is what I said to Lurch because it is.
It's just all over the world now.
But one of the kids in the groups we were talking to, he had full on braces.
So it's just like we're the demographic.
Metal, man.
Yeah, he's just, you know, we're all over the place.
But people should come out to what, where is it?
Great Northern Hotel that's starting at noon on Saturday.
We're going to watch the golf throughout the rest of the day.
My guy, ghosty, he goes by ghosty.
He's been hooking us up with a lot of different stuff, helping us out, plan our trip, local guy.
He said, this was his email when I asked him about this place.
He said, rated number three in sports bars in Melbourne.
I've been there before watching the footy.
It's great.
Heaps of beers at decent price, good spot.
Sounds like a plan.
That's what you want.
I'm in.
We'll be there.
I've been there before watching the footy.
It's great.
Heaps of beer at decent price, good spot.
Heaps of beers is an interesting way to describe beers.
I picture like...
I picture bales of hay for some reason.
I picture like in Germany for...
Okay.
Superfest.
Which over?
There's like a woman coming over with the nine beers in her hand, the Steins.
You know?
That's a heaps of beers.
Yeah.
So we'll be there.
A great northern hotel.
Saturday we're going to watch all day long.
It's a logo for something.
What?
Like what I just described.
I think that's a logo for something.
A lady carrying a bunch of beers?
It is.
A bunch of, uh,
it is.
It is.
She's like wearing the whole October 15th out.
I just think of,
Paulie's girl.
I just think of beer fest when I think about October Fest.
Yeah.
It's just one of the great, one of the great movies of all time.
It's a great one.
And then tomorrow we also have Friday in Australia, Thursday in the United States of America.
We have a match.
We have our match against four local Aussie fans who reached out.
We're playing at the Dunes.
We're going to watch the President's Cup.
Then after the President's Cup finishes up because the sun's up until like 9 p.m. here, we're going to the dunes.
We're playing a match two on two against the local Aussies.
Their names, I mean, I got a couple of names, Rohan, Charles, and Ali.
Say those again.
Were they again?
And then you got Charlie.
Rohan, Charles, and Ali.
Just going off their emails.
They kind of all looped into this.
I've been on like an email thread with them.
You know, it started with one.
Sounds like a good one too.
Then they fucking looped in their buddy.
Now it's three on one in that email thread.
They're chirping.
We're doing like kangaroo stakes.
They said you got to fight the kangaroo and the loser.
The kangaroo wins.
He eats you.
They've been a lot of chirping going on.
So we got a big match against the Australians.
the theme obviously president's cup all that good stuff tomorrow um okay last thing before we get to
the golf we saw kangaroos we sure did we did see kangaroos snuck up on them yeah we did yeah we
the kangaroos yeah we had to go to the kangaroos the last time you heard this podcast we were
complaining about um Australia being just like another place right it's like we could have been in
cedar rapids iowa there's no different in the city of long island oh yeah no difference you
Why do you hate Cedar Rapids now?
You're a Midwest guy.
Frankie always makes that noise.
You're a Midwest guy just turning your back on your home.
Yeah, that always turning your back a little bit.
It's fucking crazy.
Cedar Rapids, man.
It's just more.
I love Cedar Rapids.
It's better than Long Island.
Long Island sucks.
That's incorrect.
Not only.
No, Long Island's trapped.
I don't want to speak.
I'm not going to speak down on any part, but I.
Cedar Rapids is trapped by just.
No, you can see the Rappids.
You can get in the car.
You can go.
South, East, West.
You're on Long Island.
You've got to go west before you can go anywhere.
You've got to get off that damn island before you can go anywhere.
I know you're trying to stick up for Trump?
No, I'm not.
I hate Long Island.
Not only did we see kangaroos.
Not only do you have the ocean right there.
You have beaches.
You have incredible towns.
I mean, what's wrong?
You ever heard of Palo Lake.
You're 40 minutes away from the city and you're an hour away from the end.
Why would you might as well live in Jersey?
Jersey's trash.
Because you can instant.
Arm pit of America.
Armpit of America.
Garden State.
What I'm learning here is that every place that you're not, that someone isn't from, they think is less than theirs.
That's what I'm learning right now.
Yeah, he's got a chip on his shoulder.
Yeah, a little bit.
He lives that life that way.
We saw kangaroos.
We chased kangaroos.
Yes, we did.
Lurch did because he's a big, dumb American idiot.
Yeah.
Fact.
I did the flamingo step.
Lerchum ran.
The flinggo step to get quiet.
I was the first to see them.
It's part of me that makes me nervous about releasing the video that we're like, we're like taking advantage of animals.
We're not.
No one not.
Oh, you think that he, yeah.
So you saw the animal right after he scared it.
It was a family.
I didn't scare it.
I was protecting Jake.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
I was protecting Jake.
I think PETA's like crazy.
They threw blood on Big Cat that one time.
They did, yeah, eating too many hot dogs.
I was on their side a couple days ago because Elon Musk and SpaceX shot a bunch of mice into space.
And I was like, you seen the shit, Peter?
And they're like, yeah, that's fucking crazy.
But so you pick your battles with them, but I think it's, I think the video is fine.
Lurch.
Chaches them down.
Yeah, they were horrified.
We saw, um, we saw kangaroos.
They are magnificent creatures.
They're scary.
They're impressive.
They,
we didn't know if you're supposed to be scared of kangaroos or not.
All the videos that were sent to us, it should be, yes, you should be scared.
Which it does seem like kind of a crazy question.
Kangaroos are looked at it, I think is like, mostly like cute.
And like, you know, they're like these cute us and they get the pouches, all that thing.
To not be a little nervous about them.
But like, when you see him in person and,
they're all together in like a herd and they're protecting their young and then they kind of
they kind of sit there perched but like staring at you or maybe just staring at us because
lurch was with us was with us and it was scary we're genuinely scared yeah they move in packs
and the staring is what got me because you know I thought we're just going to watch them
bound across the Australian landscape but as you continue to get closer and they become aware of
you they just stare at you they don't move you think they're going to do these I think
there's a charging potential.
Four humans are like walking in their area.
Obviously they're going to check them out.
No, I know, but it's still a little eerie.
For us to be there, like, how much are we going to, like,
like if four kangaroos like came into your house or your town,
you'd be staring at those things.
Like if you were on your property mowing your lawn and then some kangaroos started
strolling down the street, you would stop and you'd just stare at the kangaroos.
I don't know if I would stand there and stare.
You protect yourself?
mobilize or move or like go hide inside and the kangaroos did that a couple times the babies were scary because we did here if you like if the if the larger ones think you are a threat to the younger ones they will just come right at you and just kick you in the chest do you think one of those things could kill all four of us right easily the big one that we saw the big one could have done it that he was that one he was the king they were no I mean he was big they're not as like and he was muscular they're just like they're like cool
creatures but they're bigger than I thought they're yoked
yeah they're strong
strong fast yes
quick I think amazing hopping ability
so alert very alert they're horrifying
creatures the idea of seeing kangaroos is
exciting but then once you're actually there it's also
exciting but you're also like I am in the middle
of Australia like what other like animal that there's that many of
that is that big that you go up to and like not you're not afraid of like a deer
or something like that is like not going to do anything to you because it's just
like walking on four legs
and just mind its own business.
This thing's like on its hind legs, like just standing there,
ripped out of its mind just like looking at you.
Right.
And there are videos on the internet of them like punching people.
And it like jumps around real quick and you're like, holy fuck.
Like this thing.
It's crazy.
The presence of smaller kangaroos had me the most alarmed because I didn't want them to think
that like, oh, here we are.
We're just these big dumb idiots, which we are.
But I don't want them to think like we were going to attack them.
Because then, and you'll see in the video, it'll be out.
It should be out around the same time as this.
I don't really know when everything's getting posted.
We don't,
it's well documented that we can't handle the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
But we did enter it.
We did enter at one point.
And then we started to see more kangaroos and they started to close off where we would have to go to exit again.
They're flanking us.
Yeah, they were flanking us.
So that was a little concerning.
Best part we thought we were in the middle of like some wildlife like area, like the middle of like a desert.
And we ended up being in like the middle of a park where it was like people's backyards.
It was central park of like Melbourne.
There was, uh,
There was two women walking their dogs through after we had a horrible experience.
Yeah, it was.
But we saw kangaroos.
They were never in danger.
We sure did.
We saw a bunch of different animals that they brought into the media center at the President's Cup.
They brought in a koala.
Shout out to my new best friend Mozart.
His name was Mozart.
We took a great picture.
We all took pictures.
Is that chlamydia?
Yeah.
People are trying to tell me that I now have chlamydia.
Well, everyone, you know?
Everybody read the same, or everybody heard the same rumor that koala bears all have chlamydia.
so they're like oh because you took a selfie with the thing you have a chlamydia that's not a
chlamydia works you dumbasses would i have to fuck mozart oh it'd probably increase your chances
of getting of getting and what i hate about the clemedia thing everyone did read the same article
everyone did what's up everyone did read the same article and everyone thought they were making the same
hilarious joke on the internet oh i bet you got clemedia now you're just jealous that you didn't
get to meet mozart you were taking that same picture there were some people that were saying uh
It's not as, like, I think someone tweeted at you, like, isn't it not as soft as you think?
And, like, Mozart couldn't have been softer.
Yeah.
It was like a walking pillow.
Yeah, no, Mozart was stunk and he was shitting all over the floor.
Yeah, he stunk.
All over the floor.
Yeah, he smelled like, um, it smelled like an old.
Those animals do not smell good.
Because your nose not.
I was so caught up and how adorable he was that all up in him.
Yeah, bro.
They may have chlamydia.
Yeah.
Your ear was like inside his, his, like, hair was in your ear.
Yeah, his hair fucked your ear.
If I got chlamydia, soapia.
No doubt.
If I have chlamydia, so be it, who cares?
You have, is that like a different strand of chlamydia?
I don't know.
I think you can just get rid of it, right?
That's one of those.
You go blind?
I don't know what happens when you have chlamydia.
Do you go blind?
No.
You look like a koala.
Why is blind the first thing you jump to?
Yeah, I don't know.
I think it's like.
You shut your eyes shut down?
It's one of those.
It's one of those.
Your eyelids just come over your eyes.
It's not that you go blind.
You just can't lift your eyelids anymore.
I got to say.
Chihuah bear should be utilized forever as like a morale creature for armies, for teams.
This media center is a very depressing place.
Everyone in there hates their lives.
They despise.
You can tell they don't like golf.
They don't like their lives.
They're all these old, crusty, miserable fucks in the media center.
It's full of these people.
Quala bears come in.
Everybody's happy.
What's not fine is the state that the koala bear is in when we see them.
I think they're completely sedated.
I got a message from our own Caleb Presley
that said that the reason why they're always sleeping
is because they eat food that is like 99% of the food they eat is poisonous.
It's so poisonous that it makes them sleep for 23 hours.
It's like a sedative.
Yeah, it's like a sedative.
The thing is not like like alert.
I heard they're mean.
I was like, what do you mean?
The quality was just to sleep.
It was so high.
It was nuts.
He was asleep with his eyes open.
I agree with that.
It's so high as high as a mind.
Beater should be going after those people.
Yeah, his beard was just to be.
thinking about those people. Whoever brings those qual bears in,
Peter should be going after those people.
He looked at trains like, look at this motherfucker.
Yeah?
What's going on here?
What's going on this motherfucker?
Why am I not as angry as I usually am as these people?
He's looking at you, like, he's like, I want to claw your fucking.
He's like, I want to clothe your fucking face?
He's like, I can't move my arm.
He's like, I don't know why.
I, I'm not, I'm not furious.
I want to be furious, but I'm not.
He's like, at this moment.
glasses down your throat.
You're fucking,
your fucking,
go ahead,
say something mean about me.
Fucking beard.
Look at this fucking guy.
Yeah.
Born on fucking March 9th.
You know?
Oh yeah.
I was like,
you're looking at my idea.
I was like,
how do you know my birthday.
Look at this.
I want to beat this
the fucking shit at this guy,
but I can't move my arms
for some reason.
I love the thought of,
of cool and calm ass Mozart
just raging inside.
As he's being carried around the media.
said everybody's just like can't do anything bad he's like I don't know why my limbs just don't
work can't even pick up its head the thing was just clawed to that guy's arm does that guy have
protection underneath his shirt because his claws were just digging into the guys I'm like he was
a tree so didn't look like you and I Frankie we also held a giant snake I know lurch did it as well
yeah far off um yeah go anywhere near that scaley thick had a brown fucking you guys do it going
near that's got a brown head it looked overcoming fears I figure if I'm gonna fly 16 hours
of Australia I might as well just embrace whatever
brown head like it went up someone's asshole who's a brown-headed python yeah you know that thing just
decides to just tighten all of his muscles dead that's when i got nervous what's who who's gonna get
that snake off you no we wouldn't it's not like i'm going to that like i bet this snake to the lady she's
like nothing's gonna happen and i just did it yeah yeah you know what you never watch those videos
of the death roll at the crocs yeah i watched one of the car the other yeah that's what they say
that too nothing correct you know what happens something when i watch those videos of the death roll and the
crocodiles and the lions and the bears
I always say I hope they get eaten
I say that when I watch the videos I'm like you're putting your hand inside of
crocodile's mouth you deserve it to
fucking clamp down on your mouth on your hand and jet
and you get fucking rolled around until you're dead you know how you don't
why are you doing that and you what I did I put a fucking snake around my neck
you know how you don't get crushed by a giant snake
you don't go anywhere fucking near that's what I did I did what I hate
yeah I feel good about it oh that's because you got lucky
no I know I I know I wore a man
massive python as a necklace.
Yeah, and I don't know if I'm better for it, but I got the picture.
I didn't think it was something I would do.
But like I said, I figured if I'm going to sit on a plane for 23 hours and then you've got to see something.
Yeah, I got to do something.
Otherwise, I'm just sitting back in New York City.
We're in the media center.
Just do it.
And just do it.
President's Cup.
Yeah.
We've got a ton to get to.
We've been all over Royal Melbourne all week long.
Very, very cool venue.
I think a lot of people were calling it easily hand down a top 10 golf course ever built.
I've been seeing all over Twitter.
It's performing and it looks magnificent on television.
We'll get to all that.
I want to start with the logo.
International team came out with a new logo.
Couldn't hear enough about that.
I kept talking about the logo.
I kept hearing little things about the logo.
It's like how fucking important could a logo be?
But it is quite different, right?
The USA, everybody we have.
We're red, white, and blue.
We got the four-agued.
just like every year we play we either play europe or we play the internationals we play europe
that's just what we do where the pj torres 99% is based out of like the united states of
america all the tournaments most of the tournaments are in america it's all as simple
internationally you got guys from fucking all over the place south africa to asia
australia you just got guys from everywhere trying to unify them they came up with this new
loco i love the new logo i love it it makes them feel
like intergalactic.
Like, it's a whole new world coming to this.
I described earlier, like, they're, like, from a future planet.
Yeah.
And that logo, another great description was that that logo is not a word here for an alliance.
Yeah, that is a, like, we're here as enemies logo.
Yeah, I think it looks like shit.
I mean, it's a golf tournament.
And they're like, look at us, we're galactic villains.
Like, relax.
You're the international team.
You called it like a cheesy movie.
villain logo. That's exactly what it looks like. You don't like
cheesy movie villains? No, not
for a golf tournament, no. Why does it have to
be this prestigious golf tournament
thing? Why are we doing that? Because you know they were
trying to be like, look at us. Like, we're,
we get that the Americans are the people that
everyone loves it. I just
got a unifying somehow. You didn't like those
catty bibs today? No, I didn't.
What? No, I don't. I don't. I don't
like the logo. What do you make the logo?
Something different.
I just don't like that one. I don't know. I feel like there would be a
They're trying to be like the Galactic Empire.
I think if they had a tough task and I think they nailed it with the logo.
They got to unify something.
The logo is really cool.
Now the outfit is horrible.
Right.
Well, you're saying that because it looks like my outfit that I wear every day.
And it is.
They wore black colored shirt and khaki pants and black shoes.
It was amazing.
It was Trump.
Yeah, I got there today and we were watching a guy warm up.
It's like, why does that guy look so familiar?
Maybe they saw that putt.
They were like, we need to go with these uniforms.
But yeah, they do.
They're wearing the outfits that I wear.
which I don't approve of.
People are tweeting me being like, do you have a statement?
I'm saying that I don't approve of it.
I wish they hadn't worn it.
But, you know, what can you do?
I think the logo is cool, man.
I think, like Rigg said, they had a really tough job of, like, you know, they're going against just an American flag.
You got to do something.
You got to, you got to, they have to say that, like, we're going to come win.
It's at their home territory.
They're in, we're in international waters right now.
You know, they had to do what they had to do.
And I thought they nailed it.
And they started out with a fucking bank.
Yeah, you can't deny the results.
Four to one.
Four to one start.
Shocking.
Very, very surprising.
Before we get to that, I want to talk about something very dear.
Near and dear.
Near and dear.
I got distracted.
His phone is like talking.
I think you just set off Alexa or Osirie, rather.
Well, there's no way I just set it off.
You must.
No, that happens sometimes.
You say something.
What is this?
I just triggered Siri.
I don't know.
I do not know what you're talking about.
It's like, fuck you.
Something very near and dear to my heart.
which is truly hard seltzer, which I wish we had a ton of right now in Australia.
I actually had several Australians come up to us and say, hey, when we were in the States,
we were drinking a bunch of your truly stuff and we loved it.
And then we came back to Australia and we couldn't get it.
How could we get more of that?
All of you folks in the United States of America right now, you're very lucky because truly hard seltzer is readily available.
It is quite refreshing.
It is an alternative, a great alternative to beer or to cocktails.
Only 100 calories.
5% ABV, only 1 gram of sugars,
gives you a perfect amount of alcohol
while keeping calories low.
They also just taste great.
Come home from work, throw the feet up,
have yourself a wild berry, a pineapple,
watch the game.
When you're out on the course, it might be hot.
Maybe you're doing like a little golf trip this winter,
maybe a little getaway over the holidays.
It's going to be hot out there.
You're in Florida and the Bahamas.
It's very refreshing.
Get yourself a truly hard seltzer.
Sponsor of the Barstool Classic and just sponsor of a good time in general.
So go get yourself some truly.
Citrus pack is great.
It's got lime, grapefruit, orange, lemon.
Berry pack is my personal favorite.
Wildberry, blueberry, raspberry, black cherry.
So go check them out.
Get yourself some truly hard seltzer.
Okay.
United States came out.
Led with Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas.
Tiger did it in the fashion where he did say.
He first deferred, which we should talk about this process.
President's Cup, very different than the Ryder Cup,
and that Ryder Cup, the captains select their lineup,
and then they just submit their lineup,
and then however it matches up, it just matches up.
It's random.
This is very different.
There's a lot of strategy involved in this one,
where, you know, you put your team up,
then the other team gets to match,
then the other team leads,
then you get to match,
then you lead,
and it goes back and Fort.
Tiger decided to defer,
which is very bizarre because he was going to lead with himself in JT,
no matter what.
But he just had to defer.
Then Ernie Ells leads with Leash and Joachimann.
Tiger then leads with himself and J.T.
They go out and get the win.
Tiger looked amazing.
He made, I think, six birdies, only made like one bogey.
J.T. made a couple of birdies.
They won four and three.
Tiger looked phenomenal.
I made six birdies and 15 holes.
That's amazing.
How many would have you made if they kept playing?
Nine?
Yeah.
He was on fire.
it was effortless and it's like you know i mean he's obviously played here before but it's just
a different style golf course and like they didn't have that much time to prepare over here they
just were at the hero world championship they were you know flying all over the place he played a couple
round i mean he didn't even play yesterday he didn't he didn't even practice no he didn't he like
wrote around in a lot of people practice around a couple of rain sessions went out there and just
had six burgers and 15 holes on some of the hardest greens and like different type of like you know
grass and i mean these things are like glass out here the way that the
balls are rolling into the first hole.
I'm sure everyone that's listening to this that watched it saw those first drives
and how many balls were just perfectly right in the fairway and then just kept going and going
and going and the only way it was going to stop is if there was a bunker there.
It was so cool to watch because we've been here and witnessed it.
Like what people saw on that first, I'm so glad people got to see it right away.
What people saw in that first tee was a 370-yard hole that was downwind.
So guys were ripping driver and they were ripping driver at like the right, just right
the green basically and it was landing in the fucking fescue bouncing through the fescue then through
the fairway and rolling balls that you thought had to stop rolling into that green side bunker
and then you were seeing guys hit these these short little chips bunker shots whatever to this pin
that looked like they're going to land and check up like 20 feet short and then rolling all the way to
the hole or past the hole and people right away were kind of hit with like oh shit this is different
which is what we were hit with kingston heath the versus
course that we played on Sunday is right next door to Royal Melbourne.
And we found that out firsthand.
Like what you saw television is us idiots who can't hit the ball even close to his high,
even close to his pure, with even close to as much spin or control.
And we got that same thing.
And you saw it throughout.
I mean, you saw guys today hitting horrible putts,
puts that were like 10 feet off line that rolled 30 feet by,
guys putting them off the green, guys hitting wedges in the greens that were landing on the front,
part of the green and just bouncing 10 feet in the air and going over the green, which is
insanely cool.
That's the sand belt.
That's what this place is known for.
Tiger Woods being that prepared and able to, like, adjust that quickly and hit the shots
that he was hitting into these holes was fucking awesome to see because not everybody
could adjust that quickly.
He was the best golfer on the course today, which is crazy.
I mean, it's not that crazy.
He's the best golfer all time.
It's hard to, like, imagine that he's just back to that level, right?
It's just like all these years have gone by.
I know we always talk about it and we always act like surprise and we shouldn't be at this point.
But it's like, I don't know how he's just the best there right now, like playing.
Like he's just.
I'll play JT.
like, like he made a great quote after the round.
Just like, what was going great for you to do?
Tiger Woods was.
Yeah.
Right?
Like he had all these years off.
All these guys had all this time to fucking just try and get back at it.
And Tiger Woods just comes back and is just better than everyone else.
It's just crazy.
He's going to win at least a major.
He has to.
Frankie said that today.
He blurted out the media center.
He's just like,
Tiger's going to win a major than this here.
He's got.
At least one.
Dude,
every time we're watching him play now.
Everybody in the media center just gets so excited.
Yeah.
No, they hate,
they hate like,
let's talk about the media center real quick.
I know we've talked about before.
But they just hate like people being happy in there.
Right.
Like you can't cheer.
You can't clap.
Everyone looks at you and they're like,
and they snarl at you.
It's like, what the fuck is that mean?
I can't be like.
Is that when you screamed president's cup yesterday to the islanders when they're,
oh my God.
Yeah.
Can we talk about that?
Yeah, I mean, I was like, I was FaceTime and a buddy.
And, you know, they were like talking to, they were talking to me.
And there was music playing on the background.
And I had my AirPods in.
And I just forgot where I was.
It was crazy.
Like, that was the first.
President's Cup.
They were like, where are you?
And I was like, the President's Cup.
And I like, I looked around.
I didn't even look around.
I didn't even know.
And when I got out of the room, everyone was like, you were just screaming about Tiger Woods
and the President's Cup.
It's just a classic case of having your headphones on and you don't realize the volume.
And like what was happening in my ear was just loudness and just craziness.
And all six of us are about to leave too.
And we stand out in this media center.
So when we are looking to leave, we look like a unit.
We're 15 years younger than anybody else.
Anybody else.
Yeah.
And we don't look like anyone else.
Totally.
And then all of a sudden we're leaving.
No, I fucked up.
It's obvious we're at the president's government.
Only reason.
In the vibe and the media.
The president's dead quiet is like a hospital.
Yeah.
It's like it's quiet.
And like.
there's only a little murmur of like the machines making sure people are alive.
That's like there's a little bit of a murmur in the in the media center, but not much.
It's pretty much quiet all time.
Then there's one of those young idiots from that.
The youngest, like, just looking guy ever.
Like, I just.
And Tiger walked in that pretty put on two today.
I like had to contain myself.
I said something today and you're like, shh.
Oh, I said, get in the bunker.
It was on the first hole.
I was like, get in the fucking bunker.
and everyone and you're like ugh i mean you do they i mean they become part of that thing where you're just
like you don't want to be that way yeah but you don't want them to be mad at you no i fucked up with
being loud there the only problem with i mean the only difference between what i did and what lurch
does is i had a moment of just like bad i had a moment of just like a brain fart and i didn't
know i understand let me get my point across i had a moment i had a moment where like i just
didn't know where i was for a second because i was doing something lurch just can't control his
voice at all times even when he's conscious
about it. We're on the putting green
and you just can't, you're like
we're five feet away from the boss man.
We're five feet away from the boss man and
Robbie Mac and all these people and Lurch
tries to whisper to me. He goes, imagine
being that close to Tiger Woods
and having something to do with like the way
he plays the game. And I'm like, well, why don't you
just tell Robbie Mac now because he's just right in front of you?
You're just trying to whisper that.
He's incapable of whispering. He said the word
Tiger Woods. There's no way that. You said the word Tiger Woods
so loud that Tiger Woods had
to have heard it. You're like Tiger Woods.
You just said, you said his name.
I said, Tiger Woods.
But you don't do that. You don't do that.
Every time we talk about it, you then correct yourself to try and really whisper.
But when it's just off the top of your head, you talk so loud.
And you admit, you're like, I know, I have probably.
My voice travels forever.
Travers through walls.
I mean, these podcasts doesn't have to hear it.
My voice travels as far as the golf ball does out here.
It just doesn't stop.
I thought you meant your golf ball.
No.
No.
That would have been a great line.
Mine stuck at 260.
Yeah, you, you don't.
you're incapable of judging how
I think it's not with your ears
your voice is to other people
You said that you're
You said that you are
Toned death
But you may also just be like somewhat deaf
Right
Something to look into
What's that old Will Feral character on S&L
Who can't control
The
I can't control the vibe of my voice
That's an old willfail character
And that's how I feel about
When Lurch is trying to whisper on the putting green
Because it's just loud man
It's loud man
You guys see Tiger Woods?
Yeah.
And you're not whispering you.
You know what I was saying to him is like we haven't really calculated and this is like stuff that we always talk about like how we're going to like approach these guys like Tiger and all these people.
But we never really understood that like when Tiger Woods has to come up to us, he has to come up to like six of us.
And that's like a whole crew.
Like it's not just one dude like oh hey, Riggs like how's it going comes over.
He's how you're doing.
Like he's got to come talk to shake your hand, Trent's hand, my hand, lurches hand.
He's got to know that Andrew and Jake are around.
it's nuts.
Yeah, we're a problem.
We're a problem.
Like, it's a whole thing
that he's got to come over and do.
He's got to come do a whole thing
just to say hi to us.
He's got to go to like Thanksgiving dinner and say hi to us.
Essentially, right?
He's got to do four handshakes.
It's nuts.
Like, I would avoid that situation at all costs.
Who would want that situation?
I'd be like, oh, look at those fucking guys.
Like, what the hell?
I'm not Tiger Woods and I avoid four people in a line if I see them.
I don't know.
There's four people just standing.
They're like, oh, the Trent, come over here.
I got to do something else, man.
Yeah, that other things are do
Yeah, we're a force, we're a force
I gotta do literally anything else
And we're the only people in media
That take advantage of the stuff that
So like we've been to all these majors now
And now this is like our first president's cup
But none of the media does like what we do
And like go in the practice screen
And like walk around and like try and talk to the players
Like they all sit in their desks
They watch the screen and they like type their fucking
Yeah, that's crazy to me
No one doesn't
Nobody takes advantage of any of the areas
We were at like US Open and PGA
Like no one was walking with Tiger Woods
Inside the Ropes
It was just us remember
Like, it's crazy.
So you just sit there at one or two, maybe.
Yeah.
Do their columns about something, some horrible angle that they've come up with through the week.
And they leave.
It's like, it's like you weren't even there.
Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas are putting on the putting room.
We are the only people that were inside the ropes on the putting green.
Which is worse for us because, right?
There's just six of us.
Yes.
It's like.
It is.
Only player.
Only player coach.
Six guys are on the fringe.
We're not just like all dress on the fringe.
We're standing that corner.
every time where there's the most amount of fringe around the putting green,
we just congregate there every time.
Yeah.
That does it might as well be our fucking station.
Yeah, we should get a desk there.
Where are you guys stationed?
We should do the podcast right on.
I think about that.
Today, I think he meant like where his bar station station.
I always flip-flop on it.
I genuinely thought, I genuinely think he thought.
HQ?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I, again, I know it's the running joke now.
People ask me where I'm stationed all the time and it still like takes me back.
But I think I have settled that he is asking.
Where's Barstall Sports?
Because, like, when we asked, when we answered, like, oh, we're on the 18th.
He's like, oh, like, we were like, oh, didn't, like, someone say, like, stop by, whatever, like, after?
Yeah.
Like, he, like, didn't.
That's not what he meant.
He would never open himself up to an invitation.
Like, coming after, after the round or whatever, like, looking for us when he's done.
No, like, he meant, like, where's Barstall station?
I'm going to, that's my final answer.
I think that's where I'm starting to settle.
I gave them both.
I said both.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
I don't remember.
Yeah.
I was like, I was on Jupiter.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure I said, oh, so, like, you know, we're based out in New York mostly,
and then this week we've got a little booth over by.
Oh, that's huge.
Yeah, I think I covered both.
Great answer.
Yeah, it was a great answer.
I don't have anything.
Well, actually, I had plenty of time because it's Trent.
I've been fizzled that frozen time for like a year.
It's still going, like, from in your head right now.
It has to stop.
It's bad, man.
But you're going to pass out right there.
I'm hoping at some point we get Tiger and I get to rectify that situation.
You react that way because he's the type of guy that just wins tournament,
wins like matches like he did today.
He's the only person that showed up.
You asked Gary Woodland about your DAP-up.
He didn't remember.
Do you think Tiger Woods remembers about the freeze?
No.
No.
No, no, no.
The only way it would maybe be like in his head is like if he saw something like on social media or someone told him like look at what you did to this guy.
Yeah, but still even then.
It was such a topic of conversation that day.
But even so much, it was so, like, detailed and dissected by everybody.
Yeah.
And I could see it.
Like, no one talked about the DAP up, not one person.
Yeah, but even then, like, even if it was one comment, you're not going to have a conversation about this.
One comment.
It was like, his, him freezing up went viral.
From two Tiger Woods, though.
Oh, oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, like, it was like one extra comment.
Oh, that bar stool.
Like, yeah.
Like, there's a funny comments about him.
He's just like, have you, like, recovered yet?
That'd be great.
All time.
It would be great.
If he was like, so, Trent, where he's stationed in Australia?
I would shit.
I would shit my pants.
Yeah, I would do.
I would burst out in laughter.
I would start, I'm going to start crying.
Yeah, I would jizz my pants.
Why?
And then he,
where would you say we're stationed?
I've had all this time of preparing.
I still don't.
If he's like, where you're stationed right now?
In the media.
Adina, hotel.
We're in the second row of the media tent.
We have one laptop.
Yeah, no, I still wouldn't have an answer.
I really don't have one.
I would have a chair or something.
What do you think happened in the USA today?
I don't know.
We had satire yesterday.
Oh, yesterday.
You know, I look,
we lost two matches, one down.
That answer guy made fucking everything.
He was the answer.
Also, that group missed, I mean,
DJ missed a two-foot putt.
Go ahead.
No.
That was a funny thing.
Yeah, no, it was great.
Thanks.
DJ missed a two-foot pot.
That's when they were two-down on 11.
Then on the next hole, they had a good opportunity.
I think...
Two-foot-put-put-for- Eagle, right?
Two-foot-put-put-put-for- Eagle.
Drove.
To the green.
To two feet.
To the fizzled.
I don't, like Tiger said, we're fine after.
I don't think we're in trouble.
I really don't.
It's not like we got our doors blown off.
Everybody looked a little sluggish, jet lag.
They just traveled across the fucking world, which we
did like you understand that different type of golf down here even if those guys have only had a couple
more days to prepare the international guys that have been around a bunch of them played in the australian
open last week like that is a difference and you come out it's again it's not like all of them like
one match we lost what four and three the other couple were like one down two and one and one and
and then tiger looked phenomenal and jt's now what five one and one or five and one all time and uh team
play he went four and one at the rider cup last year and now he's one and oh so like
I think we're fine.
I think we're totally fine.
I think they'll claw back.
I'm actually pretty much excited because now I can live bet the odds because we're not just total minus 240 or whatever it was.
Shout to Fandole, I can live bet the odds.
And then I'm also excited because I don't want it to be a blowout.
I think like it loses interest.
People won't care as much about what we're doing here.
I remember when blew them out two years ago.
And it was over on Saturday.
And it was like, we're not even going to go on something.
literally over on that right and then yeah and then the rider cup last year like it was over
pretty much the whole time where like the u.s never had a chance i think there's no way we get
blown out no i think at at worst case it's like a close finish yeah um which is great so i think like
all and all four and one is a is a shit kick yeah four ones a shit you're in a hole but like
even if we just go three to two on them you know tomorrow which is friday like oh we're down
two points that's nothing like not a big deal so i you know i i think we're completely fine
I would like to see us turn it around quickly.
The only thing that makes me nervous is like I think the rest of the right.
Like now mentally I don't think it matters how USA plays.
I think the international team proved that they can just play really well.
And like they're not afraid to win and like, you know, like they're played light ears better than we all anticipated is what I mean.
Yeah, which like even if like Tony and all these guys is so small.
Right.
And like we basically chalked it up as like they stink.
Not like we didn't say that.
tournaments people blowing another out by three strokes and like they ran like they killed the other guy
that's one stroke over four i mean right so tight if you're talking to handicaps it's like what are they
plus 5.5 and the other guys are plus and the reason the reason it's so close it makes me nervous
like you know you find yourself in deep hole now it's like you got to call yourself out it's like
in baseball when like you're in a pitcher's duel and like the guy hits a two run home run like
just somehow clause it over the fence and you're like well fuck like that might as well be 50 run
We couldn't even get a run to begin with, and now we've got to get three.
You know that?
It's like in hockey when you give up two goals.
It's like we can't even get one.
Now we've got to score another one after that.
Totally.
Totally.
If we lose tomorrow, we've got a problem.
Oh, I think we have a problem right now.
If we lose two, three, it's a real problem.
What's this?
What's going on here?
You're dropping we like you're rooting for Team USA.
You are flirting with the enemy for 20 to 30 minutes today.
Had a good chat.
20 to 30 minutes.
So I don't like the we thing like your team USA.
I got no problem with this people.
I got no problem.
You are, although I, this is a great time.
Your buddy, buddy.
Ice cream with the enemy, huh?
That is.
Great line.
Great line.
Bringing the hockey into it.
Cameron Smith, shout out to him.
Great guy.
Caddy, also a great guy.
Spoke with him.
I mean, you guys are just busting nuts over the international logo, too.
I mean, pure goop nuts.
Just because you like and respect another doesn't mean you root for that.
Much different.
I'm going to
I'm going to swirl that around my brain
I like Leashman a lot
Not rooting for him this week
But I like him
I like Hedacki
I hope he stubs his toe
I'd love Hedek
Yeah
Come on
Yeah
So you're pathetic though
You use that word a lot
It's crazy
Yeah
On what level I'm like pathetic
Because you're a monster
You're a monster
You're
You're bursting out of the seams
Competition and things
You have a chip on your shoulder and like...
I don't have a chip.
What is that mean?
You'd rather have a guy be hurt and not play him.
I said, I hope he stubs his toe.
I hope he cracks his tooth.
Yeah.
Those are shitty things to happen to people.
Yeah, but they can still play.
I think it's way more fun to hate the other side.
Imagine being like lurch and just like thinking everyone's awesome.
Like I fucking hate Hedeky Natsiyama this week.
No, you don't.
Yep.
This week, he's an enemy.
I said today, what are you talking about?
When we were out when...
Cameras put him play today.
But he's on the other team.
You want to beat him.
that's how sports work
Patrick Reed got chirped today
somebody said
you're caddy carrying 14 clubs
in a shovel
and I said I won't laugh at that
because I'm an American
I'm not laughing at that this week
if this was any other week
on the PJ tour schedule
I might laugh at that a little bit
Look I didn't laugh at that either
But I also don't have the same
Hate towards the international team
As I do like the European Rider Cup team
No but I think you just have
You have to like drum up some
You know that's just like what you got to do
You gotta get up for it
That's what this is
That's why we're here
I don't think Tiger would like you
guys being like oh you know i was hanging out cameron smith today oh i love the international logo it's like
what do you guys there was plenty of times actually during our conversation where i was like get in
when like bryson took the put and they'd be like miss miss miss miss so despite our conversation
we're still rooting for either side taking care of the boss man uh you got to be on fully on the
american side this week when he is the playing look i'm i'm on the american side i all i'm just being
honest that i don't have that deep hate towards the internationals and i'm not going to like fake it like
if there's certain things that I like, I like, I can't help it.
I'll fake shit out of it.
I obviously want the United States to win.
I want to.
In that fakeness, I'm going to find some real stuff that I hate.
I know I won't.
I didn't know I hated a dick and matzion until I just said it two seconds ago.
Yeah, right?
Now I despot.
You found it.
What about Louis Oostahousen?
Oostahusin?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I hope he orders food delivery and just never shows up.
I hope it says it's always on its way, so then he doesn't reorder another place.
And it says like, oh, the guy's like right down the block.
He actually goes outside, looks around, and hours go by and he can't get his food.
Then he gets real hangary, calls the store.
Just like, my name is Louis Oussahusen.
Where's my food?
Who's that, sir?
Oostehusen.
Sorry, can you spell that?
He's like, no, I can't.
Simply have no idea.
Oh, oh.
One of the guy's like, let me stop you right there.
If you were trying to prank call his food plate.
Oh, you're not getting past me today.
Oh,
trimming up our food load.
Something better than O-O.
Oh, oh.
Yeah. O-O, spelling you, spelling, O-O is you like, you can't think of anything else.
You're like, oh.
Oh, yeah.
Like, all right.
Buddy, you're brain, yeah.
Good try.
Call another pizza shop.
We'll see you later.
He thinks this is my first row.
He slams the phone down.
God damn it.
I just see the guy getting here the second O and he's like,
alright.
I mean,
could you imagine somebody calling in and you write two O's now?
You're like, smell you.
That's the dumbest I've ever heard.
Perfect time to put in Mike Franceses' clip of him trying to say Louis Ouseyzen's name.
That's perfect time.
Let's put that in.
Louis Osterhousen's now seven under.
Oosterhusen's in that, no, he's not in.
He's still on the course.
Louis Osterhoussson.
All right, pal.
They've heard about enough from you.
I was taking that call and I wrote the first O down.
And then he said the second O, I would draw like the top of the O and I just slammed the phone now.
So good.
Damn kids.
That's good stuff.
What else is good stuff?
Ro back.
Yo.
Ro back active wear.
Now look, we've been wearing row back stuff for a long time.
Real good stuff.
It's those polos that we wear all the time.
That little doggy logo, people ask all the time.
What are those sweet polos?
What are those sweet shirts?
What are those sweet hats?
with a little dog on them.
I also got the little tag on the back.
Pretty good, man.
It's pretty good.
Sound like a little dog.
Do that again.
That's pretty good.
That's really good.
That's really good.
That's really good.
Like an upset dog that's locked outside the door.
Yeah.
Roeback.
Yeah.
I like it.
If you are a guy, your 20s, your 30s,
here's why you need to upgrade to Roeback performance polos.
First of all, their collars are structured.
and last after many, many, many washes, unlike many other polos out there.
Apparently, they went through over 20 iterations making the collar perfect stiffness,
so they last forever.
You know what I'm talking about?
Dude, the collars are sick.
They're awesome.
I don't know what they do.
They are awesome.
Second Robax polo fabric is incredibly soft, stretchy, and wicking.
They're incredibly comfortable.
You will not want to take them off.
Third, they nailed the fit.
They aren't your typical boxy dad golf polos.
if you're crushing that young professional life in New York, Chicago, Dallas, really anywhere, Melbourne, Melbourne, Roeback is your polo.
They look sharp, untucked as well.
They're just awesome.
All their stuff's really good.
We have put a bunch of it in our shop.
That's how much we love it.
Their quarter zips are great.
Performance button downs are great.
Their performance shirts that are like athletic that you can wear working out.
You can wear around.
I actually wore mine on my 23-hour trip down.
here, my 23-hour flight here.
Were you comfortable?
I can't tell you how comfortable I was.
I just looked so comfortable.
I was comfortable and I looked really good.
Here's what we're doing for you.
Use the code 4.
You go to rowback.com.
That's R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.

They make great stuff. Go get it.
The collar is the seller.
That's the difference.
When you're going between, like, what company should you get?
They're good.
They make great stuff.
The collar's sick.
Like, a good collar that stays stiff like that is hard to find.
I'm not kidding.
And they do, they're not, um,
they're giving them extra timer.
They're not crazy length on their polos.
Yeah.
Like, so you wear them on tucked all time.
You wear them at, like, the beach.
You can wear them with shorts.
You can wear them with jeans.
You can tuck them in.
into a golf outfit like you just they're awesome so code four rowback love those guys they do great
stuff oh man that louis stuff how about tiger's hat today we're going to talk about tiger's
hat looks ridiculous what the little pop-up he always does I don't know that he always does I think it
was just like sometimes like a hat just I don't know if he got like the bad one I don't know if they
had multiple options of hats sometimes they have like the rope type hat sometimes they'll have like
the athletic like 47 brand type hat like maybe they had like a
plethora of hats to choose from and he chose the wrong one kind of like this that sits on top
like don't sit here and talk to me like tiger woods doesn't like rock a hat the right way i mean
tiger woods when he's wearing his Nike like regular hats he looks fucking phenomenal he looks like he's
today he looked like four i've seen him do this look before have you not i don't know man it's
weird when he does it and i don't like it that much but i've definitely seen this before and we're
in a position where yeah tiger's one of the guys he's you know he's embraced the younger generation
and they all obviously love him.
But nobody's going to be like,
what's going on with your hat, man?
No.
Because he's still Tiger fucking Woods.
He's a captain of the team.
Like, nobody's going to be like,
that looks kind of weird.
We asked J.T. that today.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know if he considers this off the record.
I don't think he would really care about like,
after the match, JT.
He was like, oh, Riggs, you file a long day?
I was like, yeah, he's like, that's cool.
What did you think?
He was like, it was great.
Did you say anything to Tiger about his hat?
He goes, nope.
And then we kind of laughed.
And he's like, yeah, Ricky kind of came over me on the range.
And we were kind of laughing about it.
And he's like, but then he went out and did what he did.
So right.
Nope.
I didn't say him.
But then also like, he, I think he knows because we saw Tiger after his round.
And like he was there on the side.
And like, people were like, you could tell it.
They were like saying something about it.
He like, picked up his hat and looked at it and laughed.
He's like, I don't know.
Like, you know, I just wear the hat that they give me.
This is just that.
Yeah.
He like kind of did that.
After today, I hope he wears it like that tomorrow.
Oh, if he doesn't come out with a goofy, like too high of a hat.
Yeah.
hat looks. I just did it. Yeah, he just tried to do it. Yeah, I just did the little pinch
up and it kind of sits up there. Yeah, I think, I think now it just, now it should just be the thing
that carries the U.S. team throughout the rest of the week. Tegger's hat. If everybody comes out
tomorrow with a goofy eye, it would be so crazy. Yeah. Maybe he's got something under there.
Yeah, maybe. A little AC machine or something like that. Cool them down.
Another thing I want to talk about, Phil Mickelson, electric, with his onesie.
It's the best way to handle these types of things, right?
I agree.
Everybody's like, are you bitter, you upset?
They asked Spieth last week of the hero.
Like, what's, you know, are you upset?
You're out of the team.
He's like, yeah, I'll be honest.
Next week, he's going to suck for me.
Like, I don't want to turn on my TV.
Like, I'm not on the team.
Phil just running right into it.
Just, he's there at the onesie.
He's got some cup.
What cup did he have?
Was it like a trophy?
I don't know what type of thing.
Yeah, I don't know what it was a trophy.
It also has an amazing amount of TVs in that living room.
Six TVs all around like a fireplace.
And that couch looks incredibly comfortable.
Looks like a cave down there.
The downside is what Riggs was saying.
Like, no, he's not there.
What do you like to be there?
Probably, whatever.
But he didn't have to ride 16 hours in a plane.
And he gets to be in a onesie.
You keep bouncing between 16 and 22 hours for the flight.
You know a lot.
He's not in California.
Yeah.
But then 16 is for frill because he's a California guy.
Okay.
Yeah.
Man, I act like you've been here before.
Well, at the beginning of the show, he said Trent flew 16.
And then he said 20.
Yeah, no, I said 16.
Yeah.
In the beginning.
I was just wondering why he's been jumping.
I'm sorry.
You were doing a thing there.
I thought that was like high thinking.
Yeah, Frankie was just going to attack me there.
I thought you did on the fly high calculation.
Like 22 for us and then just like off the bat.
He's in California 16.
No problem.
I also wrote a blog on it.
That's why I thought about it earlier too because I wrote about it.
I'm sorry.
But, you know, he gets to just sit there in a onesie on a super comfortable couch.
You would love to sit in a onesie on a super comfortable couch.
Yeah, I would.
Everybody is that something you would not want to do?
I did, but I would.
Let me throw that back at you.
I would love to.
I'm just saying you would.
Oh, yeah.
That's something I would definitely do it.
There was one guy in this room.
I wish I was in a onesie right now.
I wish I was in a onesie right now.
Yeah,
but he looked,
you know,
it was very funny.
Seven seconds.
I just,
I wrote this in the blog as well.
I want behind the scenes footage of how the fill videos come together.
Just like,
it's just a quick thing I know.
But when he's like,
all right,
I'm going to throw my onesie on.
I'm going to give you my phone.
I'm going to sit here with this cup and this crowd and coffee.
He's just,
it's just a funny process to him.
Yeah,
he's like a buffet of bits.
He's like a dad joke guy right now.
I'm sure some people don't find him to be funny or like try hard.
I find him to be hilarious.
I don't think he's missed on any of them yet.
Yeah, as long as you view it to the scope of he's like a dad on Twitter, it's funny.
Yeah.
Even if he hit a 50 or 60 percent, that'd be great.
I think he hits it like 80.
He's feeling.
This is his new brand.
It's like he's like the quirky older guy on Twitter.
He still does.
He did like hashtag calves.
He's still like the cabs wave.
So question.
Do you think like within?
within five minutes of that video being shot, do you think he's out of the onesie?
No.
No.
No, I think that's like probably how he is around his house.
He's probably like, whatever his wife's name is.
Amy.
Like, like Annie, like, look what I got on.
Like, what?
Amy.
Amy.
He's like, Amy, look what I got on.
Like, come take a video of me.
You know what I mean?
Like, I think he's like, I think he probably dealt with that.
Yeah.
That one actually felt like it came together pretty natural.
Yeah.
Like they're just home hanging, having some whatever wine or whatever.
He's in a onesie watching the golf relaxing just then he's a night at home.
He's like, this will be pretty funny.
Yeah.
And I think it just came to him.
And he, you know, I'm sure, as Trent said, I'm sure there's some interesty ones,
how they do come together.
Yeah.
But this one felt pretty natural.
Yeah, it probably was natural.
I'm not saying it's like a production.
No, no, no.
But I'm saying, I like thinking like Phil gets like a rush of creative, like,
oh, I definitely.
And he's like, oh, I'll just put on a one's face.
Yeah.
You can picture that in your mind, like when he's got an idea.
People are probably wondering what it's like to not be at the President's Cup,
why I'm not there, how I feel about not being there.
And then he's like, oh, I'll just put on a onesie and like we'll just go.
I definitely went into his mind that he had to put out a video.
Yes.
For sure.
Right.
He's like, I got to put out something.
Yeah, he's a, he's a contact guy.
It's a good time to hit.
It's on his mind all the time.
There's an event going on.
I have to put something out.
Yes.
I have to deliver content for all my fans out there.
Correct.
I want to say that I, um, I didn't,
Lurch and I were talking about this.
I didn't expect to be as excited about the President's Cup as I was.
And it started when Tiger led with him himself and JT yesterday.
When he announced that pairing, I thought in my head,
Holy shit.
We are going to get the best player of all time, the most transcendent athlete of all time,
our guy, the boss man, playing with J.T., who's probably going to be a Hallfamer,
one of the greatest players of this generation, playing together on the same team,
wearing the same outfit, fist pumping each other, talking strategy on the course,
reading putts together against other, you know, top world talent at one of the great golf courses
in the world in front of, like, a pretty rowdy sports crowd.
and I just got very excited, which I had, I was excited for the trip.
I was excited to see Australia.
I was excited at the prospect of us, like, chatting it up with J.T. or Xander,
Tiger, or Gary Woodland or any of these guys.
I wasn't excited for the actual play.
And then I got really excited, and today was awesome.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, all those building relationships being here are all great.
When they announced teams and started to do the parents, I got so excited for the president.
It was like a chill-inducing moment when they were doing it.
And it's just great competition.
Like a match play, I mean, just doing it with your buddies and getting excited about that.
But like a match play is something different than what they're usually used to.
You get to play with, you know, a teammate.
You're thinking through the course together.
Opportunities par four, part five, par threes, how you go at pins, shots that they're hitting.
All that stuff just got me fired up for watching them, cheering for them and hoping that they kind of execute on that plan.
And watching them huddle up each time, you know, like Ernie Ells would announce his two guys.
Yes.
And then the Tiger Camp would like push the microphone away and then all huddle up.
Like like Zach Johnson with his tiny little short legs with like lean in.
Well, no, he did he was so it was really.
Was he in the room?
I didn't think he was in the room.
Oh, yeah.
It was Tiger Woods trying to like input something.
It was it was.
It was Tiger Woods, Freddie couples.
And it was Stricker.
And then it was Zach Johnson was like looking over their shoulders.
Like what are you talking about?
No, that's wrong.
And we talked about this in the car.
Do you listen to me?
And we talked about this.
Did you get my tax message?
No.
My strategy's on tap six.
I don't email to it.
Yeah, yeah, that works.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah.
We talked about this in the car.
We talked about this in the car.
You guys apparently think that Tiger keeps people around him that he doesn't think is important.
That he's not a man of conviction, that he's not a man of strategy, that he would have someone like Zach Johnson, who he, with the way that you guys are saying, that he doesn't trust, he would have him on the inner circle.
And that he is a, that Tiger Woods is a foolish person.
Is that what you're saying to me?
I'm saying that like maybe someone else picked Zach Johnson,
and Tiger just has to deal with him.
That doesn't seem right.
Why?
Like, you know, it's, it's a USA.
It's a PGA tour.
Oh, so maybe they just need to include.
Zach Johnson is important enough that someone outside,
which I don't believe in this theory that you're trying to present.
Oh, maybe.
That he's like, oh, man, we got to have Zach Johnson there.
He also thinks he moves the needle because he is it.
Tiger Woods, like all of us is capable of making a mistake.
He may have.
Oh, that's interesting.
Or.
And then now that they're in the process.
That's really interesting.
If you're an assistant.
Captain, can you be Captain lighter for the President's
God? Because maybe he thought, like, let's burn
ZJ's chance and just making them assistant.
Wait what? I don't know the inner workings of it,
but that seems wrong too.
It's just an assistant captain, too.
Yeah, that seems wrong.
It's wrong, wrong, wrong,
fucking you're, Andrew, you're wrong too.
I'm out.
Yeah.
Because I feel like everybody's going against
Zach Johnson.
You're cool.
Yeah. I'm out.
Today, Tiger Woods went out there,
won his match for Team USA.
And Zach Johnson, that literally
put in an earpiece,
got into a golf cart,
drove to the 17th hole to see his other
guys that he's captaining,
and Zach Johnson then followed him
behind and just like sat there and just
nodded to someone just goes, good job.
He just goes, good job.
Congratulations, you just described the job of an assistant captain.
They're all doing that. He did nothing.
Stricker's doing that.
No, see, Strickrker wasn't even there.
Stricker was the acting captain today.
He was, yeah, it was the acting captain.
Tiger Woods was on the course.
Strickers making an actual decision.
Zach Johnson was sitting down with his legs crossed.
Yep.
He's been driving people around like you wouldn't believe.
He's a great chauffeur.
Yeah, he's like a bus driver.
It's probably what he did in Des Moines.
He didn't live in Des Moines.
Where did he live?
Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.
Although, no, he did.
He went because he went to Drake.
Cedar Rapids, great party bus destination.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
Why do you guys hate the Midwest?
I don't hate the Midwest.
I don't.
I love the Midwest.
You don't love the Midwest.
Yes, I do.
You don't.
You've turned your back on it multiple times.
I'm not correct.
All the time.
Constantly.
You left it behind and you never look back.
You're acting like Cedar Rabbids is like representative of the whole Midwest.
It's part of it.
We're only, you know, we're all part of the same thing.
What are they pointing and whispering out of their phone?
I just like Lurch.
I saw this just popped up on my screen.
Lurch was just behind Zach Johnson.
Just the biggest human.
No, DJ.
I mean, not a DJ.
I got a question.
Yeah.
Is Lurch like best friends with Matt Coucher now, too?
Let me just get one more point.
I think the Midwest is beneath me.
That's the only reason.
What?
I just think the Midwest is beneath me.
That's fucking ridiculous.
It's the one thing that's going to make us maybe start to physically fight on this part.
I just think the Midwest is beneath me.
The Midwest as a whole is nicer than the long island.
What does that mean?
I agree with that.
The island is like,
it's always like foggy and rain.
Here's the thing.
I don't need,
here's the thing.
Here's the same weather's New Jersey.
I don't need to pull,
I don't need you guys trapped weather.
20 miles away.
I don't need to pull down other parts of the country to bring myself up.
I like that.
I like that.
That's it.
Yeah,
I just love Jersey.
New York is pretty fucking cool too,
but the Midwest is pretty cool,
pretty damn cool.
Yeah.
Zach Johnson's from there,
so he's cool too.
uh coocher coocher i mean a weird little thing going on every time i talk and paddle tennis yeah all at the media
day i asked him a few questions about his ping pong games racket skills i was interested
today i'm just walking down the fairway following groups having a good old time on his length of the rope
huh of course um and anyways coocher's watching with his wife and uh ricky's gal and i walk by thinking nothing of it he'll never
me looks at me i walk behind him he turns the other way and goes yo puts out his hand for the
third hand shake we've had in our lifetime over the last two days you say hey big fella are you
no i didn't get one of those maybe that'll be the next coming you have elephant titus you know this
guy's gonna be dead soon let me just let me shake this guy's hands i think cooch is taller than i he's
huge he's so tall he's got those sketcher shoes man he pops up in the air horrible
Bouncers up there.
Tand lines, too.
Awful.
The worst.
So what happened?
We just, you know, we chatted for a second.
Hopefully we'll mix in a game of ping pong soon here.
But, uh...
What percentage would you put it at that you're going to play, uh, Matt Coocher in some sort of racket sport?
I don't know.
Yesterday at this, uh, two hours ago, it was like a zero percent chance.
I'd say right now, it's 18% and growing.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I think in the 20s.
Yeah.
I mean, we can make these things happen.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think if it continues this way, yeah.
You know he has, like, a tennis court at his house or something.
Do you think you would beat him?
He said, talk about what he said.
I think Tennessee beat me.
He's still in pretty good shape.
He's in better shape than I am, for sure.
He's a professional athlete.
You're perfect.
Yeah, you're right.
Spot on.
Spot on.
Yeah, right.
I think I'd have a much better chance than ping pong.
Well, the lurch is fast, man.
You are fast.
You ran at those kangaroos.
You were fucking.
Yeah, watch that kangaroo video.
I'm faster than you think.
So much faster than I thought.
Yeah.
You're up too.
Goobies.
It's also a good athlete.
We talked about this car.
I don't think I'm better than Lurch at anything.
Yeah, you said something.
Yeah, anything I've loved it with it.
Because I said, there's like sometimes I can get away with like saying,
like, all right, the guy's super big and like stronger than me.
But I just don't like, and I'll usually say, well, I'll beat you in ping pong.
But Lurch happens to be the best ping pong player of all time.
Right.
You said something like I could beat you in that.
Or what did you say?
And then I was like, I don't think you could beat me at once.
Or maybe you just said on like my body was pathetic or I was overweight or something.
I said something about a sport, right?
I don't know if there's a single sport.
on earth that Frankie Borelli is better than Lurchat.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I responded with.
I think I may be better than you at baseball.
Yes, that's what we agreed on.
Yes, yes.
Fundamentals, I played it.
But in that argument, you said something like, you know, you're like pathetic or you're
like wildly out of shape.
No, no, no, it wasn't that.
We said a game.
No, we set a game and I was like, I'd smoke you.
Remember that?
And you're like, you wouldn't beat me in one sport.
Yeah, and then that's what I responded with it.
And then you paused, giggled.
I think you're right.
And I think you're right.
Because you are so good at like these random fucking things.
Yeah, he is.
You can't get him in one thing.
What could it be?
Baseball.
I think that's right.
Like football, you overpower me.
Golf, you're better than me.
Bowling, are you a good bowler?
Decent.
Yeah.
Oh, I may get you in bowling.
Yeah.
I can put up.
What's your high?
2.25.
Okay.
Like, I've strung together like 7.
Yeah.
My eyes like 186 or something like that.
Yeah.
But like recently, I don't bowl ever.
I used to have like, I would say 135 is probably my.
Say what you just said.
I used to have the balls.
You used to own that?
Yeah.
Okay.
Then, yeah.
That's like serious bowling ball.
You got the, you got the, yeah.
But here's the thing.
What about billing alley?
Do you any good at billiards?
No, I stink of billiards.
Horrible at billiards.
I used to have a ball.
I have a bowling in my town.
And like my mom used to love like getting all the kids together and go bowling.
And one Christmas, she got all the kids their own ball and our names on it in different colors.
That's kind of nice.
My sister was like her favorite color, like baby blue.
I was like this crazy red.
It was cool.
That's great.
And my dad's a good bowler.
Lefty puts on a little fucking.
Oh, he's got a glove on?
He's got like a wrist band or something?
His bad risk.
Like a risk protection or something?
Yeah.
And every time he lets go to the ball, it goes,
because he's got a thumb thing.
And he overdoes.
My dad over does the cell.
I'm like, Dad, that's not what makes a turn.
You're not playing a video game where, like, you just move your arm to the right,
and then it's going to move.
He does it.
He goes,
and it floats in the air, goes, boom.
And it floats in the air, goes, boom.
And just roll.
rolls. I'm like, it's a heavy black ball.
If I know, if I know Frank Brilke, like I think I do, there's something in that ball.
That makes it a strike every time.
There's a magnet under the fucking lane.
He's paying it back there that just kicks over the, it don't matter how much of a foul.
He does.
The thing's going straight.
He could, he could breathe on it and it just start flying down the lane.
That's what we're dealing with.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Most guys have tried different ways to last longer, but thinking about bowling doesn't always work.
The folks at Roman and online men's health company are changing.
in the game with Roman Swipes, the secret to longer lasting sex.
Sex is cool, so you want it to last as long as possible.
It's really, it's a good time.
One of the great achievements in life.
It's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Roman Swipes are clinically proven way to last longer in bed.
They are effective, easy to use, and fast acting.
When you're trying not to goop.
Yeah.
No goop, no goop, no goop.
No goop.
Don't goop.
Or a delayed goop with Roman Swipes.
But don't require a prescription.
Roman can ship swipes to you in discreet unmarked packaging,
and each swipes packet is small enough to hide in your wallet for whenever you need it.
Swipes are great.
They will not transfer to your partners, so you can last longer without work.
They're super easy to use.
Just take the swipes out of the packet.
Swipe it on, let it dry, and you are good to go.
A delayed gooping is what's going to happen.
When you go to get Roman.com slash 4, you can get your first month of swipes for just $5 when you choose a monthway plan.
if you use the link, getRoman.com slash 4.
That is getRoman.com slash 4.
Okay.
What were you going to say?
Because I want to get to some before we move on to, before we go too far.
You sound hot and heavy.
I need to put it out.
Go ahead.
I need to talk about the coffee situation in Australia.
There we go.
It's bad.
They don't have black coffee in Australia.
They have espresso with water.
They have, and that's it.
They don't have black drip coffee.
And I tweeted about it today.
And I had been not tweeting about it because I feel stupid to ask the question.
And the question was, why can't I get a plain black coffee in Australia?
And people are like, it doesn't exist.
What does that mean?
It doesn't exist.
They can't just take the beans and just put it into the cup.
They don't do it.
They said it's like this in Europe.
Who in here has been to Europe?
I've been to Europe.
I have.
Do you ever try to order black coffee in Europe?
No, never.
No, I just ask for coffee.
Because they don't have it.
It's usually a different language.
Whatever they give me, I'm happy.
They don't have black coffee in Australia.
Whatever they end up making started out as a black coffee.
No, you're wrong.
What do you mean?
It's different beans, right?
It's different.
The way they prepare it is different.
Like, when I order, if I, I've been ordering black coffee since I got here, and all they do is they give me a bunch of espresso shots and water.
And that's it.
So they don't have actual coffee.
They don't have coffee.
I don't know.
They don't have drip coffee.
No, they don't.
I've had people to anybody like, if you're trying to get a drip coffee, you can't.
You can't get it.
Go to Axel and get a batch brew.
And you responded, you go to Axel and get a batch
brew.
I just want a black coffee.
No, I'm not kidding.
And I,
and I have talked to people since I've reached out to people since.
It's so good.
It's so good.
You know you go to the store and get me a coffee.
Oh, you're down here in Australia.
Just go to Axel and get yourself a batch brew.
It's like, how about you fucking.
Axel.
I want a black coffee like I always drink.
And I've reached out to people who I know who have been Australia.
And I was like,
Why can't I get a normal drip coffee?
And they're like, no, you just, you can't, you have to get an Americano, which is espresso shots with water.
Trent's been walking to Starbucks to try and get coffee every morning.
We leave like super early.
He's like, what do you leave here?
Like 6.30 a.m. to get there.
And he's trucks there and he just wants his black coffee because he has a caffeine addiction.
Yes, I do.
And he doesn't want to get a headache.
And he gets there and they just won't give him a black coffee.
No matter what I do every morning.
When I'm in Melbourne, we'll be at your store if you have black coffee.
They don't.
It's not a thing.
you've checked all resources.
No, but, no, but people tweeted me like, like drip coffee is not a thing in Australia.
Why are you acting like they don't, I mean, there's a lot of places in the world.
And they said in Europe, it's not a thing.
It's a very American thing.
I don't believe it either.
But if you say that people are saying it doesn't exist here when I don't believe it, but you don't believe it.
I'm saying I can't get over it, but I can believe it if he's saying it's true.
Apparently 10 minutes after I tweeted like.
You're saying we haven't like checked enough.
And I'm saying, let's just believe the people that are saying no.
And apparently after I tweeted this like 10 minutes later, the.
Golf Channel Arena a segment on how great the coffee is here in Australia.
And people are like, so is their coffee there or not?
Everybody's kind of confused on if there's coffee or not.
It's just, I just want to be able to order a black drip coffee and they just don't have it here.
I said on Twitter, when I first ordered it on Monday or whatever day we first got here,
it felt like I was in the movie yesterday, but it was a black coffee and not the Beatles.
Because they legitimately acted like, they're like, what are you even talking about?
It's like, I just wanted to black.
sir we don't and Australians are mad to me they're like I'm we're about to start a war with
a great reference if you keep saying yeah if you keep saying um that you know our coffee stinks
and I think it does because it's not real coffee you're not the fucking Beatles the who
yeah what a good movie that's a good movie could have been better uh could have been better they could
have fantastic I don't even know who's in it it's called yesterday it's uh it looked almost looked
like a low budget film yeah how old is it very recent couple months oh really oh was that new
I didn't know oh man it's really
Dave Portnoy said it was like
What the worst movie he's ever seen
I really enjoyed it
I really you know I don't get along on movies
He uh
It's a guy who gets in a car accident
And he wakes up and the Beatles never existed
Yeah
And he is a musician himself
It's like he lives in a world
In which like I actually saw this trailer
The whole world
The whole world like has existed
And they've never heard of the Beatles
So like he starts singing these songs
And they're like whoa like what the fuck
I'd say it's an A plus
What do you mean what is that?
A plus I saw that trailer
I actually like a B
And I just forgot to watch it
Watch it.
Incredible.
Like, like,
like, when they were sitting down and doing the storeboard,
they're like,
we have the best movie ever made here, right?
It's like the whole thing.
Like,
where was like Paul McCartney then?
If he wasn't in the Beatles,
the whole thing.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah,
I'd say the execution was like a B2.
But they just couldn't get it done.
I don't know if they ran out of money.
I don't know if they,
it almost seems to me like they ran out of a budget to like finish the movie the way
they wanted because like it, like at one point,
the movie just like a hundred miles an hour and it's just over.
And you're like,
no.
I want to know.
Yeah.
Game of Thrones did.
Like the part of it is like he has the Beatles.
The Beatles songs don't exist.
He knows them.
And when he plays them,
it takes off like the Beatles.
A more interesting thing to explore would have been the Beatles don't exist.
He has the Beatles songs.
He plays them and they don't work.
It should.
Right.
That would my instinct was going to be he's very frustrated.
People don't like it because he plays him and people don't love him.
And he's like,
no,
you know,
but they're really good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Watch the movie.
It's really fucking good.
It's just like it could have been a series.
It could have been like a Netflix 10 season series.
Still could be.
going into like the lives of like Ringo Star like now he's a mechanic but he has all these
fucking drumming abilities like playing on the drum on the car I don't mean like how
you're selling me right you know I love that actually I love that right let's just make it
our shit yeah like edit that out let's just sell this the bottom line is this Australia is
beautiful I love the landscape I love the water I love the golf course we played they have
fake coffee it stinks I can't wait to get back to America and drink real coffee get it boom
Roasted. Boom roasted.
There's coffee. Get it with coffee? Did you get that?
I did get it. No, no, no. When the guy tweeted
that at you, did you get it when he wrote boom?
Oh, no. Neither did I until just now.
Just now. Someone wrote that response, you go to Axel and get a black coffee?
He said, uh, someone wrote boom roasted, but the roasted has to do with the coffee.
What a great little thing. Yeah, it was.
It's a nice little, little reference.
No, you go to the story. So, yeah, I just had to talk about you go to the
coffee. So you could talk about what you want to talk about. Speaking of Australians, there's,
there are plants that have been put in place as American fans in the first tea.
Outrageous.
The four-play crew exposed them today.
Heavily.
Heavily.
I don't think it is that well-kept of a secret because it's just so obvious.
They have access.
So to set the table here, the first tea, you know, this first tea at the Ryder Cup, first T at the President's Cup,
these things are very cool
scenes they have bigger stands
than usual people get there really early
they fill them out they're doing chance
all this that again the rider
cup is where it's most famous
I attended my first rider cup
ever last year and the rider
cup's different because Friday
Saturday they do 36 holes both days so
and it's in the fall here it's the summertime
so what I'm getting at is they start
very early so like
when guys go to that first tee
it's almost like still too dark out
because in order to get 36 holes in,
like they got to fucking play all day long.
And it legit starts with like,
when you arrive in the morning,
there are like 20,000 people
in the dark sitting there
at the Rider Cup in Paris
like chanting their fucking crazy.
They were doing the Icelandic chance last year.
Remember all that stuff?
That was crazy town.
And it like gave you the legitimate chills
with the lights were on
to like illuminate everything
because it was still dark out.
It was crazy.
Clearly the President's Cup like doesn't have that.
but they're trying to get as much mojo going for the whole thing as they can't.
But they went too far because they are planting fans to the point where it's so obviously,
the whole crowd is full of just like pretty much traditional golf fans, right?
They're just like they just blend in.
They're just a bunch of like middle class white people just sitting up in the stands.
Yeah.
And then there's just like a section of 12 people on the left and a section of 12 people on the right.
the left section is all international fans
and then that little section
perfectly adjacent to them
on the right is just American fans
but they're chanting and Frankie noticed it right away
he's like they're chanting
they're chanting with accents
with Australian accent yeah something
I was staring at them and everyone's like oh look how cute
like they're doing it like these guys came
from America and I'm looking at them
like one of the guys is wearing a Captain America
costume the other guy is wearing the happy Gilmore
Boston jersey there was a forest gum one
It was a Forrest Gump just complete outfit.
The guy was just wearing the complete outfit from Forest Gump.
And they're all chanting with accents.
And I'm like, holy fucking shit.
I think that the PGA tour or whoever just put these people here to make it look like American fans came to Australia.
And they're like going crazy for the first team.
And it was so obvious.
I mean, they were like when Tiger came out there, they were chanting like, in the jungle, the mighty jungle.
You can hear it.
The tiger sleeps tonight.
We're like, what the, you're, you're, you're, you're screaming in Australian accents.
Yeah.
There was.
There was a lot of girl.
Toyga.
Toyga.
Toyga.
Toyga.
There was one girl trying to correct.
And it was, it was, it would have been different if it was just like people normed in everyday clothes, shanning tiger.
It's like, oh, Australian fans like.
They went, they were wearing USA.
They were wearing Captain America.
They went to the Halloween store and clicked on all the fucking stereotypical USA things they could find.
It was crazy.
It was just like, oh, how do we look USAE?
And it was just like, oh, Forrest Gump.
And they had a chance.
They had planned chance for every single.
And they took a American matchup.
They came out.
They like, okay, you got to sing.
Then they sang.
Then back.
And then there was one time that it was they were saying like, playa, playa.
And then a girl kind of corrected them.
And then they were like, player.
Yeah.
And it was just so.
Player.
Player.
You all the player.
It's like crazy.
Like you're just not American.
So then.
So yeah.
So we kind of like let it go.
Whatever.
They did the chance for the five groups.
Whatever happened.
Like, I thought it was.
fucking weird and cheesy and I was starting
feeling uncomfortable. Everyone
on Twitter started to see the same thing. I didn't
realize when we were there that they broadcasted
this to all you, to everyone that's listening
to this and watched it. Like you guys all saw what we're
talking about. They legitimately
broadcasted it on national television before
the tea times. Like, it was crazy.
And so we're walking
later on in the day. Tiger's coming up
15 and we had, we knew.
Tiger is coming up on 15 and we
knew that he had a real chance to
put this one in the thing of them, you know, the whole thing.
Yeah.
And so me and Trent, we're in the immediate tent.
We're like, all right, let's go to the green where Tiger's going to be because there's a chance he wins it here.
And we're walking towards 15.
We're walking down the 16th fairway.
Sorry, my gum just got to put on the middle of my tongue there.
I was good on my teeth.
You're okay, Frank?
Yeah, no.
It was a bad moment.
And we're walking by and we see on the 16th green all these fans, the American fans.
We like to use quote unquote American.
Yep.
Why am I blanking on what movie uses the quotes?
Oh my God.
I can't, I'm blanking.
I'm just blanking.
Austin Powers.
Austin Powers.
Crazy.
Yeah, with Dr. Evil.
Yes.
A laser.
Yeah, the laser.
It's just the American.
It's just the Americans.
Just the Americans.
And me and trying to look at them.
I'm like, man,
would be funny to really expose these guys right now.
We kind of got nervous, like, going over there.
And, like, we didn't want to miss Tiger.
And, like, we discussed it for a little bit.
Jake, our producer, ended up coming over.
We're like, you know, let's just fucking go over there and just like ask these guys a couple American questions and really see what they like answer.
We get these guys over and they're, I mean, I don't know if they were drunk.
I guess they were.
Clearly Australian, right when we walked over to them.
Super Australia.
And we said, hey, we're from Barcelona sports from America.
And they're like, oh, oh, hey, how is it going?
You know, I think they kind of tried to.
A little bit.
Like how is it going today?
How is it going?
And yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, you mind if we ask you just a couple questions?
And the first one was just like, all right.
we're here with the,
we're looking at the camera,
we're like,
we're here with the United States fans.
You all saw them on the first T.
You know,
tell us,
when's the first,
when was United States founded?
Like,
just give us like that,
that everyone knows that answer.
And the guy just goes,
wow.
One guy,
like,
turned away.
Oh,
1780.
Like,
you just ask some pagadium's,
whoa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So then,
what is the theorem?
We let him off that one.
We're like, okay, like, all for one.
And then Trent sees the guy in the Captain America outfit.
He goes, you know, you're wearing Captain America.
You go, what's the name of that guy?
He goes, um, you know.
He goes, let me phone a friend.
Ring, ring, ring.
So then we're like, all right, we'll hit him with one that's super current.
You know, we have maybe the most famous pairing of president and vice president of all time right now, right?
Certainly.
Certainly most newsworthy.
Most controversial.
Their name's been in the print more than anything else.
I was like, all right, guys.
like you Americans who is our current US vice president and they all just looked at us like
I have no idea we have no idea who's the president and then the closing part of the video is my
favorite because you're like you are definitely not American he's like no and yeah yeah so we're
dancing with the guys they're doing their American chance I literally think they were practicing
them yeah on the 16th green with hopes that like tiger was not going to win that 15th and they
were going to win it on the 16th they were literally practicing
practicing it going through Tiger Woods chance.
So me and Trent jump in there.
We're doing it.
And this one guy, I'm like, hey, who are you rooting for?
And we're doing like a selfie video trying to make it all hectic.
And the guy's like, the international team.
I'm like, oh, fuck.
And then a guy with the Boston jersey goes, but I'm rooting for America.
Like the whole thing.
And comes in.
We're like, what's the first amendment?
He's like, I have no idea.
No, he goes, no.
I go, what's the first amendment?
And he goes, happy Gilmore.
All right.
That's right.
You go, yeah, happy Gilmore.
And I'm like, you're the most un-American American of all time.
He goes, I am.
That was it.
We exposed the shit out of it.
I can't believe that in sign, like, clearly, like, there's some sort of agreement that there wasn't, like, an NDA or something, like, that they weren't, like, going to disclose themselves.
Dude, I don't think anyone thought that, like, we were going to expose.
How with accents, though, were you like, oh, no, this will work perfectly?
It's very strange.
It was horribly, horribly planned and executed.
Horribly executed.
Yeah.
Like, the plan, like, but just get some.
Americans to be over there.
Like, we're not fucking
Sherlock Holmes.
No.
We were able to expose it to the world.
We were literally walking by
the 16th Green and we're like, oh,
should we do this?
And our producer Jay was coming back.
He was trying to take a shit back at the media center.
We're like, we'll grab me for a quick second.
Let's talk to these guys.
And that's how it came together.
It wasn't like, we were like,
we're going to go get these guys.
And we're going to expose him.
It was like, hey, we should go talk to those guys
who are saying they're rooting and our Americans,
but they got Australian accent.
So let's go do that.
And that was it.
That was it.
Well done.
You know, yeah.
I don't want to say it.
Like, we could have riled up the crowds in, like, a natural way because, like, we are here to root for the U.S. and we are passionate about the U.S. team.
Totally.
Some of us.
Checking a lot of boxes there for being up there and rooting for golfers.
You know?
Could have been there.
I don't think you needed to send guys to U.S. costumes.com.
What if they asked us to go up there and, like, we met all these guys, and they were just clearly Australians to start up, but they were like, we really want you guys to cheer and, like, help this be.
like a U.S. chant, but the other
12 guys behind you are just going to be Ozzy.
I think I would have just walked away.
I don't want to be apart.
I would have left.
I can't be part.
I mean, there was a debacle up there.
I don't want to be a part of any of that.
No.
I'd rather be on the other side, make a fun of it.
Yeah.
Tiger was looking at him like, what the fuck do you guys do it?
They were like, Tiger asleep tonight.
And Tigers are just staring at them.
I'm like, all right.
All right.
This is weird.
Weird stuff.
There's something going on.
I'm just going to hit this driver.
And he striped one out of the middle and made birdie,
birdie start.
that's good
I wish Tiger looked at them
and his head just like Jesus
What are we doing?
Oh boy
Who paid for this disaster
That fucking koala bear
Just like
Boy do I wish I could just slug your face
Right now
Fully sedated
But enraged
Volcanic inside
I'm so fucking mad
I just can't express it
I wish I could rip his beard hairs out
One by one by one man
I'm just so fucking
Zooted out of a lot
my mind, I just can't seem to
get these claws through your eyeballs.
I just can't.
I just can't seem to
fucking rip your intestines.
That's Mozart, man.
Just completely...
I fucking hate you, dude.
Just surfing on the Milky Way
trying to attack me in the media center.
I wasn't so bad.
If I wasn't flying down Rainbow Road right now,
I'd be fucking neck deep.
I'd just be ripping your
everything out.
Shout to Mozart.
I miss that.
I can't figure out the way to move.
Mozart, I know you.
Mozart,
I know you want to kill me,
but I miss you, man.
I miss you.
I wasn't just floating.
I would rip you.
I'm missing,
man.
I miss you,

Oh, yeah.
A lot.
Yeah, it did.
That cloth used to get stuck up in between your butt cheeks.
Yep.
Always pulling it out.
All the people listening.
We just said that.
Think about the wedgies you're pulling out right now.

I think they're actually,
I think they offered that they were going to send,
you know,
my girlfriend.
Yeah.
A pair of these and I was looking forward to see,
I don't know if she got it yet.
I've been on the road so much.
I was looking forward to seeing what those were like.
What?
Like,
what?
Like, if they're comfortable?
What do you mean to just like,
for her to that in your own mind?
Or would you say that to that?
But for her, like, for her.
You're speaking out loud.
I'm looking forward to seeing, like, if she says they're comfortable.
Hearing.
You're looking forward to hearing as well.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
Hearing's probably the word you're looking for.
Yes.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Hearing.
Was I saying seeing?
Yeah, you're saying seeing.
No.
So it sounded like just a little pervertive.
Yeah.
I mean, I know she's your girlfriend.
I'm psyched.
Yeah.
I'm psyched you going to see your girlfriend in her undies.
I'm saying about the comfort.
Yeah, no.
Yeah.
You want the hear part.
I guess the other way is cool, too.
Yeah, both are cool.
I genuinely met hearing.
What's our, we just didn't know the right follow-up.
Right, I don't want to say something.
I'm like, hey, I'm super excited to see my girlfriend
at her new set of undies.
We didn't want to say something disrespectful.
We were in a weird spot, right?
I'm going to be 100% honest with you.
I didn't know why you guys were looking at me that way.
I was like, yeah, they're sending her this underwear.
I can't wait to see what she says.
Yeah, it's here.
It's hearing.
Yeah.
It's all good.
Yeah.
By Tommy Johns.
They're great.
It's hearing.
You want it to be hearing?
Yeah, I want to hear them.
Okay.
Day two matchups, it's four sums, which means alternate shop.
Yeah.
U.S. historically, I thought it was like 60-something to 30-something is the points all time in the President's Cup in favor of the United States.
We typically dominate this.
This is when a lot of people chalk it up to the fact that, like, the internationals don't have the camaraderie,
from different countries.
They don't even all necessarily speak the same language.
Then you throw them in an environment where, like, you have to hit every other shot.
And all that kind of has really hurt them over the last couple decades in the President's Cup.
Well, we're going to find out today, which is Friday in the in Australia, Thursday evening, Thursday
night, prime dime in the United States of America.
Interestingly enough, the United States, even though we're down four to one, I was looking
at Fandual Sportsbook
were plus 105
to win the
President's Cup and they are plus 105
to win them. Wow.
Pick them now.
To pick them. So essentially, before the round, they
handicapped at that like...
Because it was minus 1.30 or something
or minus 140.
They basically said that they needed, like, the international
team needed this. He was 240. Yeah.
They're basically saying the international team needed to go up
4-1 for it to even be a competition.
right correct and now it is i still yeah and i i understand that i still think we're just got so much
talent that has to win in the end right but this talent level so close yeah like missing putts like
it's yeah i i see the day they're hitting drives today was a shalacking i mean to it was to go
four one in two-man best ball like i mean that's crazy
It doesn't feel great.
I mean, just because it's really hard to win a golf ball.
You know, I mean, it's just in that format, it's really hard.
And to get chelac like that with no half matches, I mean, that was an impressive first showing from the international.
Yeah, it's rare to get beat that badly, especially when, like, we talked about, like, everybody is so good.
Yeah.
The difference is so minuscule.
And especially given one round of golf, like, we talk about all the time, any of these guys can go out for one round or two rounds and beat.
beat anybody else, right?
Like, you could take, like, Matt Parsiali, our guy, like, Loam at the U.S. Open, who's literally
an amateur golf or firefighter, all that stuff, and he could go out for a round or two
at the U.S. Open or at the Masters and, like, beat Roy McRoy or beat Justice
Thomas.
But, like, over four rounds, that's incredibly less likely at a whole tournament.
Over eight rounds, that's, like, almost impossible.
Right?
And so in one round in, like, this format is unlikely as it might.
see him for five points fine but over the course of the whole week like trend daddy's saying like
we've got too much talent right like we have to be able to win this fucking thing yeah i mean that's that's
the baseline of like i think everybody thinking right now like there's 30 matches they can't hold us down
for that long or our talent i guess on our side can't be held down and play that poorly for for
the full round right there's 30 matches yeah right so you've got to think like you know one of the the
the two biggest like rider cup comebacks are from four points down and
I think it was like 10 to 6 going into the final day both times,
or the two times there have been those massive comebacks.
So, like, we're only down three right now.
So even if you get within a couple, we win tomorrow, win Saturday,
even if, like, by the minimum amount, even if at one point,
we're down one point going into Sunday,
and then there's 12 points on the line on Sunday.
Right.
That's like starting over again.
So three points does seem ridiculous because, like, 4 to 1 is a shit kicking.
But also, there's so much golf left.
Tomorrow is a massive day.
Tomorrow's massive.
Saturday's a massive day.
Yeah, it is.
But, I mean, if we drop 3-2 again,
that is going to put them at 7-3.
And that's ugly.
Yeah.
That's really hard.
Yeah, that doesn't look good.
You know where you can bet on this?
Fan duel.
Yep.
You go to Fan duel.
Go to their sports book.
Use code 4.
You get a $500 risk-free bet.
There's live betting, which I love, obsessed.
Live bullets, baby.
You're going to fire those live bullets.
Yep.
Go to Fandu, all this stuff that we're talking about.
They have live odds for all the different matches.
They have individual match odds.
They got odds for, like, players who are going to have, you know, the top records.
They've got odds for, like we just talked about, is the U.S. going to win?
Is the international team going to win?
Is there going to be a tie?
I'm looking right now, it's plus 1,100 for there to be a tie in which we would retain the
cup because we won last time by eight bazillion points, I believe.
Yep.
A tie is more in play now that we're down, right?
Like, if we make a miraculous comeback and just don't get it because we were down a little bit too much,
but we're still there.
Like a tie is a good bet.
Yeah, I mean, I actually don't hate the tie bet at all.
What is the number on it?
Plus 1100?
11 to 1.
Get out of town.
It's kind of good.
First match is Louis Oostahusin and Adam Scott against DJ and Matt Coucher,
Lurch his friend.
A couple tall guys in that one.
Oh, yeah.
In fact, that coochers just playing in this thing.
Did you guys actually see the picture of Gary and DJ next to, who is it, Answer?

Great tweet.
Second match is Adam Hadwin, Joachim Neiman,
against Xander Schauchley and Patrick Cantley.

I'm rude for Zander big time
Yeah
Me too yeah
third match tomorrow match eight overall for the tournament

Ricky Fowler doesn't like us.
He doesn't like us.
That's something we've got to get ahead of.
He looked me right in the office.
It's actually funny in that Media Day video.
We caught that in the video.
Like at the very end, we put up this Media Day of us interview and just asked a couple questions to the guys.
And at the end, we're like, you know, Ricky looked me right in the eyes and just walked out.
And you see, he's about to leave and looks at me and we just both stare at each other.
And then he just turns away and walks out.
Like, he took his time to look at me.
Let me know that he acknowledged me and just walked out.
Yep.
With this guy standing next to me.
Lurch.
Yeah.
Yeah.
the big mom.
Was I?
Oh yeah,
that's right.
We both went over that.
We were going to do a whole bit.
Yeah,
the whole bit on him and saying next to those guys.
Yeah,
we were going to say,
yeah, we were going to say,
hey, Ricky, you know,
couldn't help but notice you got stuck next to Tony and DJ
during the team photo.
Like,
as a small guy,
we were going to like,
side with him.
As I'm saying that,
Lurch was going to be staying next to me and I was like,
you know.
As a small guy,
does that affect you at all?
Does it affect you?
Like,
like, was there any thought to maybe moving around and mingling around,
you know.
turns out he just hates us so he didn't need any of that.
He looked to me and just goes, yeah, I want you to go fuck yourself.
Turned out.
I was like, okay.
When he was standing next to Cooch, when Cush said hello, or we, you know, we shared
pleasantries today.
And he did not.
There was no knowledge.
There was something to it, but we'll figure it out at some point.
We know too many of the guys now.
Pull the covers back.
We know too many people in this industry of like people that know things.
Like, we're going to get an answer at some point.
Maybe someone said something one time.
Maybe he just doesn't.
He wrote something in a blog.
He just doesn't like us.
Ricky Shee shot.
He didn't like that.
and like, I don't like, whatever.
We'll find that eventually.
You never know.
But look.
Until that, he's mad at me.
Enjoy the President's Cup.
You're not for him this week, though, right?
Yeah, sure.
Right.
Yeah.
Enjoy the President's Cup.
Get involved.
Fan duel.
Use Code 4.
Play.
You get a $500 risk-free bet.
There's live betting, live bullets, baby.
It's going to be a good time.
We're going to be all over that damn golf course, Royal Melbourne, which is an awesome
golf course.
If you haven't been watching, tune in.
There's a lot of prime time golf.
And then Saturday, Sunday, they're playing.
all day.
They just play all day
because there's a ton of matches.
Follow us on 4Play Pod.
We'll be obviously posting
and documenting our endeavors.
Have a great week.
Have a great weekend back in the homeland.
The only thing that makes me nervous is that
I don't think Tiger would have played
today or tomorrow,
whatever this is,
had they not played well
because there's so much golf on Saturday.
So now he's playing three days in a row.
But I don't think he has to play,
I don't think he's going to play both sessions on Saturday.
So really it's not that different
than a normal tournament.
And it's alternate.
alternate shots. He's going to play half the shots.
True. You know, so I'm not there where. Part of you wonder is like, why are,
why are Tiger and JT? Like, should Tiger and JT split up?
We should spread that around a little. Two A players, right? Like, we do this.
I mean, Lurch, like, with our buddies trip to golf weekend classic where you like,
you try to match up like an A player and a B player, right? And like, is, why should Tiger
and JT be playing together? I mean, I know JT didn't play his best today, but he didn't
have to. Tiger played lights out. I think at some point you got to guarantee
one victory. You just guarantee it.
Put your two best guys up there. You just do it.
And you're hoping it sets the tone. So you know that works. Like
it's that work today. They've got like great banser between them. That worked. And I think
on this level, I mean, I think you just roll with that and trust that that's a point and then
hope that others come around. You just get that one in. It's like a shootout, right? Like sometimes
some guys, some teams in hockey will leave like their best score for like the third shot.
It hopes that like your goal tender made the first two days. But like I sometimes am like, let's
get the first one on the board.
Get the goals, man.
Take the field goal.
You should drive me nuts.
Gotta get the points on the board.
He's saying his name.
Like,
John Tvers always used to go third.
And like we'd never get to him.
It's like, what the fuck are we doing here?
Let's put him first.
And then you know he's getting it in.
And maybe they're just like, come join us up at this level.
Like,
come play with us up here.
Like, let's try and up the level of everybody's play.
And they're up like, you know,
it says like Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas up four through seven.
It's like, all right, boys.
Like, we're fucking winning today.
It's also fantastic for the spectator.
for the viewers, whether you're back at home or whether you're here, because, like, if you,
they could just put the coverage just on the Tiger JT group, and, like, you'll watch every second
of that because both of those guys are compelling.
The way they interact with each other is compelling.
The way they swing the club is, like, magnetic, like, JT with his upright swing and, like,
how flush he hits the ball, Tiger being Tiger fucking Woods.
Like, that is just like you have to tune into this tournament because the two of them are
playing a round of golf together, and they're on the same team.
They're both wearing the red sweaters.
They're fist pumping.
It's must watch when, like, maybe J.T.
finishes up the hole.
He's next to the pin.
And Tiger's just standing on the green.
Both their caddies have left.
Everybody else is left.
And I'm just staring at Tigers.
He's off the green just waiting for their interaction.
And in my head, I'm like, what is it going to be a pound?
Are they going to do anything?
What's about to happen here?
Like, I can't turn away from him.
Obviously, JT is JT.
And he's an awesome golfer, one of the best in the world.
But do you think on the inside of any part of him is like, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit,
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
That he's just walking up and down the fairways with Tiger.
Grew up with Tiger.
Tiger definitely was like, JT.
let's play at this thing.
So like let's like set the tone.
Maybe not to that extent.
Yeah.
But like he is like this is so cool.
Well,
I think so damn cool.
There was,
there was a moment like one,
being here and being able to kind of talk about this moment is kind of why we're here.
But like standing on that first team,
we were there like 30 minutes early.
And the international team came up first.
And then like four or five minutes later,
uh,
Tiger and JT.
arrived and they kind of came down this hill and like no one out of the thousands of people
all around this first tea are wearing like red and white at all and then you just saw these two guys
glistening in red sweaters and white pants walking perfectly in sync down the hill and one of them's
fucking tiger woods the other one's Justin Thomas and it was like it was like the imperial march
should have played of like oh fuck they have arrived and you know Justin Thomas has had dreams about
this. This is like, growing up, you got to think, like, this is what I wanted to happen.
Totally.
I wanted to be, like, hanging out with Tiger and playing golf.
Yes.
I got a question.
I don't think it ever gets normal.
It can't.
I don't know.
I think it probably does.
Yeah?
Everything normalizes, which is.
They play at their whole course together, and they go to, like, Tiger Woods's
his backyard and chip around his backyard with them at home all the time.
I think that's even still.
Like, when things are.
More that it gets crazy, I think the more, more closely gets, the crazier in his head
it is.
Like, this is Tiger Woods.
woods.
You know?
It's like you have to pinch yourself.
I'm with you.
I'm with you,
when you have to pinch yourself when you do things really cool for whatever
reason.
You know,
it's like shitty,
but I feel like things eventually normalize.
But I think when he like goes home or whatever,
like he's like,
man,
that was really cool.
Yeah.
I think in the moment it's normal.
Yeah.
Because you have to make it normal.
Yeah.
Right.
Otherwise it overwhelms you.
Correct.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And you're like a weird fucking.
And you're like a weird fucking.
Correct.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
I get a question,
No, for the group.
So when there, everybody's coming over the hill, 18th green is right there, the one T-box is right there.
I thought that you weren't allowed to putt on the 18th green before the tournament.
There was guys walking over and then after the practice green, but still rolling putts on the 18th green.
I thought that was like, this is illegal.
They're going to stroke play event.
That's very illegal.
I think it's something like this.
Like, why not?
Like, you can hit putts after you finish out the hole.
Yeah, they were doing that.
Yeah, but this is before you.
played it. I mean, then you could technically go around
the whole course and like put on
greens and put to the hole.
Yeah, I think if you really wanted to, you
probably could. Then you know the brakes and stuff. That's what practice rounds are
though. Yeah, I guess. That's like the day of. It seemed a little weird
I did see that. I didn't even know that was 18. Yeah.
I saw it because of how much I had to look down with the map because I was like,
wait, that can't be 18. It's definitely a little weird. A hundred percent.
Yeah, it just felt weird. But I think it's because
it's an exhibition.
Right?
It's like...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Different rules.
It was definitely interesting.
Like if a guy missed a putt or something, but this is all after the play, they'd be like,
hey, can I still put one?
And then the rules official would sometimes go back and say yes or no or whatever.
I also think they'd probably allow them to do it because they want to test if the actual greens are rolling the same as a practice green.
You know?
I could see them being like, yeah, you can just put on 18, like for that reason.
Don't put near the hole or something like that.
Yeah.
Because, again, it's an exhibition.
Like, if Tiger and Earth.
agree to it.
Yeah.
Who the fuck cares?
Totally.
It's just like what it is.
So it's very unique in that sense.
It was weird.
Like I didn't believe you at first.
I was like,
no,
that's a different green.
Yeah.
You were like pulled out the mat.
Oh,
that's the 183.
Yeah, I had to do the grandstands.
I was like, no,
that's, that's it.
And then it was it.
Obviously,
they finished there later in the day.
But anyways,
thought that was interesting.
Yeah.
Before we close that,
I want to give a shout out
to Mr.
Seth Waugh.
We saw him here.
And for those that may not know who that is.
I think you're insane if you don't know who he is.
He's one of the most powerful people in golf,
and he happens to be the nicest dude of all time.
We just went and we drank with him last night and had us.
We shared a slice of pizza.
Yeah.
He's an incredible guy.
He's a PGA of America's CEO.
Super nice.
CEO of the NBA of America.
So when you watch the PGA Championship, you watch the Rider Cup,
that guy just is the CEO of the company that's putting that up.
Frank, he called him a burnt cookie on video.
He's a burnt cookie.
And he loved it.
And he did it to his face last night.
I was like, get over here.
Burnt cookie.
He loves us.
He loves the way we interact with them.
He loves Barstool.
He loves everything about like just like guys chilling and talking golf and he belongs to all these incredible country gloves.
I mean, he belongs to, I mean, the list goes on and on.
We're talking about Pine Valley.
Thoughtful.
It's like just commentary back and forth and like he genuinely cares.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's well said.
Genuinely cares about what you, what you're saying.
And he like cares about like your life.
Like he actually missaid Lurch's name.
I think he called you Jake at one point.
He started with Jake.
He's like, right.
Hey, Jake, like you want to drink or whatever?
And he's like, and to Lurch is, you know, you actually like, I, a lesser man, I'm Jake.
I'm Jake.
I become Jake for the rest of the night.
Yep.
And you go actually.
Maybe the rest of my life.
And Lurch goes actually, Seth, it's Ben.
And this is Jake right here.
And for the rest of the night, Seth would be like, hey, Ben.
Like right to his face.
Like, Ben, do I get that right, Ben?
To the point he was pretty, like, at one point I was just like, he was like, I think he said like, see a fuck face.
And I was like, see a fuck face.
Like in a very laughing way at the end.
But he, I mean, he's a great dude.
It was really fun talking with him.
He's obviously super important.
Has accomplished a ton of things in this life.
But just like going back and forth.
With us.
He could have been CEO of Deutsche Bank.
Yeah.
Just going back and forth of us at the table.
He was like thoughtful and like just a good guy to talk to.
It was funny.
Good night.
Sethwa.
Yep.
Shout out Seth Wilde.
Yep.
And my guy Hansen, Eric Hansen, who's a huge listener.
Totally.
Kind of set the whole thing up.
You got any more shout to want to give?
Well, you know, we're here in Melbourne.
You know, that's weird.
You know, not small this world.
We talk about, we talk about how long.
Oh, I want to hear actually.
I guess, well, what's today?
Oh, my mom's birthday was two days ago.
I was going to give her a happy birthday show.
Oh, when you're talking about it to her birthday now.
My parents.
My parents.
Shout to my parents.
My family.
My brother.
Happy birthday.
Love you.
Yeah.
Step brothers.
Do I reason I'm doing the shots because.
All my friends back home.
It's a small boyfriend.
JR, Mike.
We fly.
Mike.
Mark.
Dane.
Here's a real shout.
Shout to my friend Robbie.
Wait,
there's a callback.
Richard.
Shout out to anybody I've ever met in this life.
Robbie still doesn't have a tooth.
This kid bitten to a fucking.
Shout out to you guys.
He bit into a ham and cheese sandwich like two months ago.
And that tooth stuck in there.
The guy's walking around with no teeth in my apartment.
I can't even look at him.
He was a homeless person?
He got knocked in the tooth, like, when we were in high school in a fight.
Go on.
I think we told the story.
He had a little bit.
We told the story.
We told it.
He had a little bit of a filling.
And, you know, the thing, everything happened.
And they kept falling out.
And they're like, hey, you got to get it fixed.
So it started falling out.
The teeth started, the tooth started decaying, whatever.
He's gross.
And he bit to him.
One night, I'm like, hey, I'm like, hey, one night, I'm like, you guys want to get drinks and food?
And he's like, it all depends if this tooth state in my mouth.
I'm like, what the fuck is that is that?
And he's, and he?
And 10 minutes later he goes, I'm out on dinner.
We're like, why?
He goes, my tooth stuck inside my sandwich.
Oh, miserable.
So shout out to that guy.
Shout out to him.
Yeah, to a nice sandwich.
And the only reason I did the shout is because this fucking world is so big.
You're sitting on a plane for 22 hours.
It feels like you're literally going into another dimension.
And then, like, in Melbourne, we have all these people that, like, we just know from home.
Like, this guy, Eric Hanson is friends with guys that I'm friends with.
And he happens to be in Melbourne who's, like, working.
And then, like, Seth Waugh, who.
who like we just sat down and Beth page with is here it's great it's weird yeah it's fucking weird
I know no matter where you go the Sethwa thing him being here makes sense but the air thing right anyway it's
very cool and it was awesome and I think the more you travel actually the smaller the world gets not just like
because you've been there but like you could be anywhere and you know someone and have somebody somehow
some way it's the coolest thing ever weird we talk about we go back to golf we go back to golf resorts
and you go there for the second time yeah the first time you met like three or four people that
had an impact on you that you stay in touch with and seeing them.
It's really cool.
Weird, man.
