Fore Play - Is Frankie A Stick Now?

Episode Date: August 2, 2022

Riggs takes a private jet with Kevin Kisner to the Wyndham Championship so Frankie runs the show. Serious internet issues ensue. Frankie careered it at Shinnecock alongside Barstool Big Cat (who went even lower). Finau wins again — is he just a winner now? Riggs and Kiz again played the Barstool Classic. And apparently there is a newly-found void in space?You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Is there a part of you that wishes that it does become competitive so that we do get those like miracle on grass type storylines? A bunch of no-name European guys. They lost all their team. They lost their leaders. They lost their captain. There's the column, uh, Calum Taron leads the, whatever, European team.

to the fucking promise land. No. Zero. Beat them into submission. Don't let them get a point. Blank them. Let them get zero points. Four play presented by Barstool Sports.

We are live. We are Sam Bozoian lists. We are Riggs List. It's Trent Daddy. It's Lurch. It's Frankie Borelli. Coming to you live from the Barstool Classic. I am.

You two are in remote locations. Riggs is on his way to the Wyndham with Kevin Kisner on a private jet plane. I did not get the invite. So I am here in the bar at old Stonewall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania talking to you fine gentlemen about golf today. We may get into some golf. We may get into some space talk. We may get into some whatever shenanigans.

But how are you guys doing on this fine Monday? I'm doing all right. I'm a little worried about my internet. I know people are fucking sick of hearing about it. I'm sick of dealing with it. I actually bought a entire new computer to hook up so I could do the. podcast in a better way, so I wasn't cutting up all the time. And they, Alex, our guys, sent out the link to do the podcast and I hooked everything up. I was ready to go. And I clicked the link and it just

didn't show up for whatever reason. I don't know if I have to tweak something on the computer. So I can actually podcast from my brand new computer that I'm looking at. I'm on my old laptop right now, but I'm sitting at this desk that I bought and I'm just staring at my new computer that I thought was going to be the answer to all of our problems. Instead, it just gave me more problems. So I'll stop bitching about my internet. It seems like it's going okay right now. I'm worried that it's conversationalally delayed where what you find out when you're doing podcasts over Zoom is that timing is impeccable when it comes to conversations. It is maybe the most vital thing. Not even the contents of the conversation are more important, more important than the timing of a conversation.

And even when it's a little bit off, it's like there's there's been. studies that have been done where if you just lower or make a stare, one stair a little bit higher, every single person will trip on that staircase. It's just like if you put it up a centimeter, people start tripping all over the place. It's the same way with conversations. If you mess with the flow of a conversation even a little bit, people start talking over each other and the things just don't get relayed in the right manner. But that's what I'm dealing with right now.

I'm excited to do the show with you guys. we have rarely done a rigsless show. I don't know how that's going to go. I think it'll be fine, but I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to see your somewhat clear faces on my computer screen. Yeah, what an IMA is what you bought.

You bought a huge desktop computer. Is it a desktop? Better than anything you can buy. Like usually you get a new computer. It's a laptop or it's a Kindle or it's an iPad or whatever. You set up the Surface Pro, the Microsoft. This guy went out and bought a fucking IMac with like a with a fucking

modem and shit and it's still not working. Was that the hardwire plug it into you? Is that why you bought it? Or why did you go desktop? Because, well, I've got this new place and I've got this desk that I bought and I wanted something high powered. If we're going to be doing this podcast all the time, I don't want to have to, I mean, we've always been doing the podcast, but I just didn't, I wanted something that was a sure

bet that I was just going to plug it in. I was going to hardwire everything in. And I was just going to be crystal clear and the opposite. Now it's just like an $1,800 paperweight on. my desk. It's fucking ridiculous. So I mean, maybe I'll get it figured out at some point, but right now I'm using my old laptop and I'm just staring at my new computer. I wanted a nicer computer because I wanted the podcast to sound good and now it doesn't even work. So who cares? It's a work in progress, too. Big time. I will say right now it's kind of, it's hot. It's back and

forth. It seems easy. Feels like your connections off the chart. So fingers crossed, knock on wood that That continues on. But yeah, actually, we had an epic trip this weekend. What? What are you said, Frank? Oh, no, sorry. I was just looking. No, no, no, someone was, well, I was going to get into something right at, but go ahead.

Yeah, yeah. So, well, if someone interrupts you, you know, you try to hear what they're going to say. Well, we have to get into an ad and now we're, like, having a conversation about the ads. And I was going to go right into it because you said that's very easy and seamless. I was going to say, you know, what else is easy and seamless is game. Time. Game time's the easiest way to buy last minute tickets. So if you really want to have a conversation about it, and we're still talking about it, Lurch, we might as well get right into it. It's the exclusive ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. Game Time is a ticketing app that makes it

easier than ever to score last minute deals on tickets to sports, concerts, and shows, and they guarantee the lowest prices. They've cracked the code on last minute tickets. I'm telling you right now, I've used this. I used this for the Yankees Mets game last week. I sat right in Frank Tank. It was the greatest experience I've ever had. Went to the Subway Series. It was a decision that we made the night before where you kind of scoured the internet for tickets. Went on game time.

It was as easy as possible. You can find MLB tickets for under $15 all in on game time. Yankees tickets as low as $14. Red Sox tickets, $13. The list goes on and on and on. What do you have to do? This is the best part. You get $20 off your first purchase.

Lurch, we can go back to you.

You're on an all-time buddies trip. Did I lose Trent while I was doing that? We lost Trent. So we're talking about easy. That's right. T is gone. Now, yeah, and I saw you in the summer series. Tough one for the Yanks there.

They got absolutely swept. But Tea Daddy is gone. And now it's amazing that we are trusting this podcast with Marriott Wi-Fi and then Barstool Classic Clubhouse Wi-Fi. So that is the power of four-play right now. Which is like remarkable in so many different ways. But yeah, we're an all-time buddies trip. It's the yearly trip we have, 24 guys. 12-12, 11th year, your lifelong teams with each guy or with each team.

And Riggs was on that trip. We can go into more detail about it because it was absolutely epic finish. But the reason I brought it up also is, you know, we talk about Riggs just drinks and then he goes on to the next thing and it's wildly impressive that he keeps it going. We finish Sunday night I get home. I passed out 930, 10 last night, I mean early. And maybe it was even in bed by 845. I get a FaceTime from Kevin Kisner at 144 a.m. last night.

So I'm sure Riggs was up with him, but I was just a dead animal. So shout out Riggs powering through. I saw he blew the match via Instagram by missing like a four-foot binker putt. So when he comes back on the show, I'm interested to hear about that. Yeah, at Oakmont. Slippery screens in the whole plan. So you were with Riggs on a buddy's trip? How did he play?

Because spoiler alert for anyone that wasn't at the Barstow Classic, he's one of the worst golfers on the planet right now. He, I think out of 18 holes, Kisner said he didn't hit one in play 14 times or something like that. Like, he just hit one out of bounds. I mean, I'm sure he was a peach to be around here at that time. So, yeah, he actually, I mean, we've all seen it. Like, I would say Riggs's game has probably the biggest highs and lows of anybody that

I've ever seen at a four. Like, he can go out there and we have all shoot him, seen him shooting like the 70s and then I've also seen him shoot a 96 where the ball will not stay on the planet and it just we as you would say. Oh, it's fucking. And I don't want to get too much into his actual game because we all know that I'm talking about right now he's got the driver yips and he's confirmed that he has the driver yips. He's tweeted about it. He's Instagrammed about it. This is a well known fact that Riggs Barstool has the driver yips. I had the chipping yips for a long time and I'm talking in past tense and that's probably the first time I've ever done. that. I do believe I am beyond that. We do have a series called Fixing Frankie coming out where at this point, it has worked. And my selling point for you to watch this video series will be, watch how I went from a 10.6 handicap three months ago to now my current handicap lurch is a 6-1. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Dude, I've logged four rounds under a 79, including a 76 at

Shinnecock the other day with Barstool Big Cat. We were out there. Just having the time of our lives. Big Cat, as you saw on Twitter and Instagram shot at 72. He had a bad 18th hole. He just needs to conquer those demons. Really 16 and 18. I think he had two doubles coming in.

So that's, you know, it's just a tough go for Big Cat. A lot of people mad on Twitter after that post and I love it so much. It's the best. But yeah, dude, games kind of coming along. But the reason I bring that up is because I had the chipping yips and they're definitely trending in the right direction. But even then I was able to kind of like I had a decent enough game where if you watched me,

it wasn't as ugly to the eye of the people around you. You're like, all right, at least he hit a good drive. He got it up by the green. And then he like chunked one and put one up and made it five or six. Riggs can't get the ball off the T, which has to be the scariest place to be as a golfer. You have first T jitters, your second T jitters, your third T jitters, your fourth T jitters?

By far. You're out of the hole. The second you take your first swing, you're out of the hole. Right. I mean, without question, driving the ball is the most fun thing in golf. It's also like the biggest I'm playing with my buddies. Like if you can't drive the ball, it's very hard to play with your buddies because you legitimately, you don't even see them.

You don't get to walk the fairways. You shake one way to the right. You hit another couple balls and then you get back up to the green. Like, it's the worst place to be. I'm about to announce that T Daddy is back on the show. This might be via phone, but he is back, which is very exciting to see. It feels like phone because your face is maybe in the camera. We've got something really interesting going on with me right now,

and I'm sure my audio sounds horrible. So I bought the I Mac, which we talked about. That didn't work. And then I hooked it up to my laptop, and I tried to make that work. That didn't work. So now I have placed my iPhone on top of my laptop that is in front of my new IMac. And I'm just recording from my phone. It probably sounds like shit.

I don't know if I should stick around because my audio is going to be so much worse than your guys. But I've just got an absolute cluster fuck going on in my apartment right now where I just can't seem to get things to work. And it is just incredibly frustrating. So I can stay on the phone here with you guys if you want or I can go fuck off. It really, it's up to you guys. It's up to the quality of the podcast. But right now I'm on my iPhone sitting on my laptop. in front of my iMac it's a disaster it's an apple app here's here's here's here's one thing

here's here's one thing i'll say trent and you're completely frozen now that we speak to you is i would still record your audio locally on your laptop as you talk to us via um your phone because if you're just thinking about getting this audio through and now we've lost trend again if you're just thinking about getting your audio through this this zoom that ain't going to work because it's we just can't hear what you're saying so you either have to figure it out or You're just like not figure it out. One of the two has to happen. Yeah, turn off your video too, try to limit a few things.

Let's be as smart as we possibly can be. But I would love for you to stay along and chat in when you can. So I've got a couple things going on. I do want to say that I have a list of things to get to. This isn't going to be just, by the way, just to interrupt, T's gone. T's gone. This is a fucking nightmare of a golf podcast right now. Tony Fee now.

wins back-to-back weeks. Rocket mortgage. He had an amazing quote. We'll get into Tony Fienow a little bit. But he had an amazing quote saying a winner is just a loser kept trying. That's the definition of Tony Fienow's game. That really hit home to me where it's like you can take that into all team sports. You watch like a football team losing the Super Bowl and they all go on one knee and hockey when you lose the Stanley Cup. They all the guys would go on one knee and kind of like look down at the other team celebrating, lifting the cup. And you're like, fuck guys. Like we were right there. You saw that with the with the with the with the. the lightning. They got swept in the first round against the Columbus Blue Jackets and then came back and won two Stanley Cups in a row. It's just like, all right, maybe it does take a loser to like feel that anger, almost be right there. Tony Fienow was the definition of right there, right there

every single week. Second place, second place, second place. Could he finally cut through? Tony Fienel back to back wins. It's nice to see this guy starting to rain these things in from left to right. I mean, golf's even that way more than like anything else. Like that mentality. to stay hot and stay driven and still perform at the most elite level. It's like Tony Fienow's got countless second places. It's how frustrating it would be. We talked about, you know, like professional athletes, like judge, people that just have to show up day after day. Like if they're sick, whatever the case may be, they just have to play.

And if they go through ruts, it's like, you know, I don't know, if there's X amount of events every year. And Tony Fienow is going to enter 20 to 30 of those events. and he continues to get second. It's like if player one that wins just doesn't show up that week, he's just the winner. You know, he's just the best golfer. So that mentally that's got to be just infuriated.

It's like, dude, you've taken three weeks off. You decided to show up this one and now you win. So I do think in golf like more than anything else, like second place like lose what, sorry, read the quote again verbatim so I don't screw it up. I don't have it exactly. I'm just remembering what I saw off Twitter because like I said, I just got off the barstow classic,

didn't have much time to prep. But he said a winner is just a loser who kept trying. That's essentially what he said. And I agree with that wholeheartedly, certainly in golf. Like you just keep going to the well, keep going to the well, keep going to the well, keep going to the well. It's such a singular sport where now he's like one of the hottest players in golf. We thought of like Tony is like a perennial loser.

You know, now he's truly one of the best players in the world and playing at the best of anybody else in the world currently today. So shout out Tony. There's just something about all sports. And I guess it's just human nature where like when you're on a heater, that that always blows my mind. Like what what happens there? Like Scotty Schaeffler all of a sudden just started rattling off just majors and wins and became the number one. Like what unlocked?

Is it just experience? Is it experiencing loss? Is it like feeling almost being there and knowing then what it takes to have that next edge? I don't understand. Even in a regular tournament, you'll see a guy like Calam Taryn. Calam Taryn, our guy, by the way, who made the FedEx playoffs, he shot from like 150th when we played with him at the 3M to now he's in. He's like 111th. Calum Taryn has entered the playoffs, which is an amazing, amazing feat.

We couldn't be more of the Tarananiacs or whatever we're going to call ourselves. But like what is it about like a guy like that where you don't even know who he is? all of a sudden he's leading the U.S. open and things just start happening. Like where was that his whole life? Like why that week? Why do guys get hot in certain weeks? I don't get that.

Dude, it's crazy. I mean, like, if you like, think about even your game. So just to put a bow on our golf trip, like Riggs and I, so 24 man trip, 12 v12, after two days of golf, it's a dead even heat. Their team picks the two of their best golfers. Our team picks two of their best golfers. I don't know how Riggs is playing. I know about the driver woes.

I've seen them before. The two of us, he rips driver down the first hole. So we go to a playoff hole. It's going to be two-man aggregate score on the playoff hole. Par 5 at the ranch in Southwick, Massachusetts. Shout out that place. Great track. We both bombed driver.

We both hit one up there. I hit one to 12 feet on a par 5, so I got an eagle look. The other guys miss it. Riggs has a chip in from like, 20 feet. He cans the chip in for Eagle. I make my 12 footer for Eagles well. So we made closing Eagles in our playoff hole. So it was beyond epic. We storm the doors of the other team, win, whatever it goes on. But I will say Riggs in this environment didn't have any driving woes. So I'll put a bow on that for him in the Kistramatch. He may have. So, but like,

think about like your game right now, Frank. Like you went down from what, a 12 to a 6. Like right now, my game is kind of done something similar. I mean, I'm a four down to like a three these days. Last 20 rounds, I think 16 of those are sub 80. We played at the ranch. I had five birdies one round. Like, I'm playing beyond the best game. And like, what are you doing differently?

I'm not doing anything. The only thing that I think of in my head is like, I believe when I go out there, I'm just going to like play really good golf. Like I don't know what that is. and like it will leave me and then it's gone and then it will be fleeting. But like I don't know if it's really anything more than that. And then like utmost belief, if you go out right now, you probably feel like I'm going to nip wedges.

I'm going to fly it in there. I'm going to hit a good golf shot. I might make two or three birdies this round and I'm going to shoot a 78. You know, it's like that's phenomenal golf. And I don't honestly know if it's too much different for a pro than it is like at some amateur level where you feel really good. You know what I mean? I think it's like it's as minute as that.

Maybe that's way wrong. Like Dr. Brett McCabe would come on here and be like, you're a fucking full-fledged idiot on this one. But I don't think it's anything other than like crazy amount of confidence over a ball. I mean, like when you go to a golf course, Frank, how do you feel right now in the first team? You must feel like giddy. Well, yeah.

So it is, it's Dr. Brett McCabe type stuff where it is confidence. because nothing's changing physically. You're not becoming a better athlete from week to week or day to day. So at the end of the day, it is this, it's the same idea of like when you have a T shot and you're like, okay, I really like the way this looks to my eye. And then Brett McCabe would say, now, why does this look so good? Like, why is this so appealing to you? And it's like, I don't know.

Like, I just feel like the way the trees are. I can like kind of hook it around that. Like, that's confidence. That's all that is. It has nothing to do with like the whole being good to your swing. or like the layout being favorable to your game like no that's just confidence of being like i'm gonna flight this ball exactly where i wanted to so i trent asked me that question the other day where he's like what do you think you're doing different and i'm like i think just swinging is easier

right now because like i'm not even thinking about it like swinging the golf club i'm just swinging i'm not thinking about anything and like it's kind of just going where it's got to go i can't miss a greener regulation if i tried legitimately i like scald one the other day dude You know, we played in a breaking 90 episode. I sculled one. And it went down the walking path. Instead of like finding all the shit to the left and the right, it went down the walking path and ended up 245 yards right to the middle.

I can't. I put it to like an inch from the hole and made a bird. It's just like, what are we talking about? That's usually out of bounds. It's in a creek. That's in a ravine. So things are just working, you know? It's just like you have confidence.

You step up to that next shot and it doesn't matter. So I guess I kind of answer my question when I ask like, how does Tony enter this new zone? He's got confidence. And it's really cool to see a guy like that that struggled and has gotten like the shit end of the stick, even though he's made millions and millions of dollars of being a second place finisher. He's now just, he's doing what he deserves.

And that's just finally finishing it. Right. And then the PGA Tours like Instagram account just continually post that like maybe you've seen it. Maybe you have it. I assume you have like it's his first maybe after what, uh, some junior competition. and he was in, he was playing in the tournament and like he was just ripping balls down the range and all the PGA tour players were like watching him hit.

I feel like they've reposted that video of Tony so many times. But yeah, I think it's just like you break 80, Trent breaks 100 for the first time. Now he's like pretty continually like sub 100. He's not always, but he's like somewhere in that range. It's just like Tony won. He broke through. And now he's just, he's a winner on PGA tour. because it's always been like, why isn't he winning?

And so now with that confidence, you know, that Tony Fienow drip there, I mean, yeah, it will be interesting to see how he does in the next, like, I know, year or two years because I feel like he's got the game. And like, honestly, when you split hairs like it, like, what's different than him or like our guy, Scotty Schaeffler when you like break it down? You know, it's like they just get hot and they can rip the ball around. They've got unreal game around the course. You know, like, why not?

Speaking of having that drip drip, you ever have that drippy drip down by your ball sack? I got that drippy drip down by my ball sack. I'm in Memphis, Tennessee right now. I'll be getting that drip drip, drip. You know what I'm talking about? So when that summer heat is melting your popsicle, you'll need to wear underwear that'll keep that tall boy on ice.

Or for me, it's, does High Noon make a mini yet? Because we need to change. I know High Noon came out with the tall boy, But do they have the nips yet? That's what I need to keep on ice.

it just makes them look good too. Like you just walk by like I've never looked as good with less clothing on than when I'm in my Tommy Johns. It's just like kind of gives it a little bit. bit of depth. You know what I mean? It's like if someone I got a conversation about, I had a conversation about like if a blind person could, if a blind person reads a book with Braille, did they read a book? Like, or did they feel it? Like if someone felt my body like that with Tommy John's on, they'd be like something's going on down there. But another underwear, it's like, wait a minute, what's going on? You know, they're kind of just feeling around for nothing. Tommy John just gives me a little bit of umf, a little bit of pizzazz, a little bit of what's that?

And when I was Oh yeah A buddy of mine would break kind of like our boxers down into like You've got your A listers, your B listers and C listers. Everybody, when you look at like, you know, your top row of your dresser, you've got your good boxers, your bad boxers And you're just like only in a pinch while I wear these things. Tommy John is just unquestionably A-list boxers.

They're so comfortable. And yeah, they do put your, you know, your package in a little hand for you. real comfy. They've got a little pouch there right up front. You can make it real easy if you're not going to pull down your trousers to take a whiz. You can just pop it out of that top hole there. Yeah, man, they're comfy and they're cool. And like, especially in the summer heat, in the tri-state area, we haven't had rain in the longest time. It feels like we had a little drizzle last night, but just there's a drought, it's hot, it's muggy. And when you're going to play golf, if you don't have a comfy set of boxers,

I mean, your world could end the next day with the chafage and the issues that you got going on. So shout out Tommy Jones. It's really bad. I mean, it's the worst. You ever got a bad chaf? Sorry, I looked. Oh, my God, I've gotten a bad chaf before,

but those days are gone from Tommy Johns. I'm telling you, the days of chafing are long gone, thanks to Tommy John. Trent Ryan claims he can't call into the show. He doesn't know how that audio is going to work. It's getting to the point now where he's got to be embarrassed of his lack of execution when dealing with electronics. I don't care what the reasoning is. I know that he's done all the things that he thinks he's had to do. But at some point, you have to just figure it out. It's the year

2022. He's a young 30 something person that has worked on the internet for over 10 years at this point. Figure out how to get on here. He's going to say, I've done everything. Whatever, Frank, you always see the worst and things. I don't give a fuck. Call in. Go downstairs. Run to a start. Starbucks, go to a pizza place. Let's fucking figure out how to get this guy on the show. We can't have Trent Ryan not on this podcast two weeks in a row because his internet doesn't work. You have to,

that has to be an unacceptable fact. We almost have to stop the show until he comes on. He's the fucking lovable person of the podcast. Who the fuck wants to listen to Trent, to Lurch and Frankie talk about fucking golf? Foreplay has been dismantled right now because Trent Ryan can't get on the fucking show. Yeah, it's a real sad day.

I mean, I just think there's. so many solutions for this that it's like it makes me question his problem solving skills if we're being perfectly honest like everybody's had just figure it out right you just figure that one out that one's you just figure that out like it can't be overly difficult it's really a shock for like another hour it's like you can't you can't just be sitting there you have to go get an answer you have like 40 minutes to go find an answer go find an answer I'm like getting angry now but I still love them. I do want to get into real quick.

I mentioned that I played Shinnecock, and that was my first time ever playing. The first time I had ever gone there was with Dave and the Mulligan Challenge, which was just the most not-to-be-believed scenario of all time. It's such a like walking on eggshells type place. You like have to walk in the right spots. Can't have your phone out. And the fact that we went there during Media Day right before the U.S. Open and Dave shot like a three under 67 or something like that.

and took 400 mulligans. It was really fun to be able to go back and remember all the holes. I remember, you want to know what's so fucked up. I remember those holes based off of where Dave played them, as opposed to, like, Tiger and Phil and Brooks Keppko winning by, like, however many he won by. Like, I don't remember any of the holes from that stuff.

I remember them from Dave Portnoy, kind of meander in his way around the course and winning the U.S. Open on Media Day. I had one of those days where nothing could miss And I was kind of floating walking down the fairway Like the member Reed knew that something was happening with me Where I was making dude I made like five birdies at Chinatcock Like it was just birdie birdie, birdie, bar And one of the holes that I doubled lurch

I lost in the fescue where we knew where the ball was And I ended up reteeing and made a four from that ball So it's like I know I probably don't make a four out of the fescue Like I ended up hitting a provisional and then made it a four from there so it's a six but like i'm thinking all day is that a 74 like if i just find that golf ball then you can't like you don't know if you're going to hit it on the green from the fescue whatever you can't get into it um but if it's just a better drive or it's a 74 um 100% dude when you start getting down to those numbers you start being like woulda shoulda

coulda and then you also forget that like 22 foot you can that had like maybe seven feet plus pace going by the pin that like somehow nipped the hole and if it didn't maybe i three put that instead of taking a one put on that yeah there's all those so here's a moment that's kind of similar to that where it's like you can't really get mad is i think it was 16 or 17 right before that which i love the 18th hole i was just like tucked away on the left side there yeah but i think it's the 17th hole we were going in and i hit a drive on the left because the 17th's not a par three right It's the last par four before the 18th. Okay.

And I hit a drive on the left and I kind of got lucky. It was like hard pan stuff, went through Fescue. And I had a second shot with a wedge in my hand. And I hit all ball. I'm talking. I sculled this thing. And I scream. And I'm in a heated match to like the death.

Like there's presses going on. I'm playing out of my mind. People can't believe it. And I scream, sit. Oh, fuck. Because I knew I was on the precipice of an all time round. And everyone around me is like, what's he complaining about? The ball drops next to the hole and it sits on the edge for an eagle.

And I have a kick in. I'm talking. I could have blown on this thing, Bertie, coming into 18. And everyone looks at me like, look at this fucking asshole having the round of his life, screaming, almost like throwing my club in the ground because I thought it was way over the green. This reminds me of Mark Hubbard this week, or I think it was four days ago, throws his club on the ground on the PGA tour, slams it. And then he makes a fucking hole in one. There's no worse feeling, specifically than when you're a guest at such a nice club and you're playing against the member and he's invited you out there. You're kind of beating up on him.

Like you're playing well. It's a thousand different ways. It's bad. Right. You're so cocky that you're like, get down. And he's like, dude, it's in the hole. Like you're mad with that. Like you have to be in a better scenario.

I apologize the rest of the day. I mean, like, dude, like, that's bullshit of me. like I don't know why I just did that like I got to be better than that like thanks for everything like no nobody feels worse too there is no worse feeling when you're the cocky guy you know when you're like playing really well it's pretty obvious you're playing well and like even if you do the you hit it off the toe of your golf club and it feels like it's going to go way right and you give like the oh no and then it draws back into the middle it's like you feel like a smug a hole you know, it like, everybody looks at you.

It was like, dude, come on, man. Like, you're playing this well and now you're mad with that. Yeah, it just can't be worse. So you had a bad moment of that, Frank? It just sucked, man. It's just like you feel like you're an asshole. It's worse than telling a guy that that shot's good when you know that, like, it's probably not going to be good.

You just got to just keep it to yourself and just be normal. Like, find yourself to be a normal human being when you're a guest at someone else's fucking country club and they're inviting you to play an all-time bucketless golf course. Don't be screaming. get down and fuck when you think the ball flew over the green because who cares even if the ball flew over the green you're like you should be happy you're even on the grounds why are you acting like you're trying to break a course record out there you're going to shoot 76 like come on dude it is so interesting there's such like a fine line especially when you're playing with new people

like how you like communicate on the golf course right like you can be that cocky guy that nobody likes it all that's like oh dude i deserve better when you just don't then you're playing with someone that like maybe you're better than and you're like and he hits like an okay shot it's definitely not like a good shot but like way better than what you've seen out of them and then they're like you're like oh good shot dude and they look at you and they're like dude i'm human man that wasn't like a great shot by any mean just because like i kind of scold one to the front edge of the green like that still sucked um it is always a tricky one of how you like communicate well with kind of who you're playing with and you know and whatnot oh

here's something. There's an empty void in space so big that if you travel to cross it, you wouldn't bump into anything for 752 million years. Now, did you see this picture making the rounds on Twitter lurch? Yeah. It's, it's one of those photos that you just like can't even comprehend. So you just think it's like one of those things on the internet that someone just went on Photoshop paint and just put a bunch of dots into a black screen and like that space and we're going to put a ridiculous picture out there. to scare the whole internet. But this is real, apparently.

And the fact that it is real and the fact that it's another example of just how big space is, that there's a space in space that's so big that if you traveled across it, it would take you 752 million years to bump into the next thing. Yeah, I mean, it's, I would say space is blowing up right now. Just the imagery that's going out. It's just making people think more than probably every. about it. It's also like what's next when we blow up Earth because we just ruin it because we're just terrible people. Well, we're not going to blow up. We're not going to blow up earth.

Earth is going, you know what's actually fucking horrifying and actually brings kind of a tear to the back of my eye because I start to get really nervous about it. I really start to like, I start to curl my toes and get super anxious about this fact that the sun will one day explode. That's a fact. That it like we, we know that the sun is a star that will one day give out giving gas. It will no longer be a star. It will explode. And we as a universe, we as a planet will cease to exist. Now, it's going to be far beyond when we're alive. Way, way, way in the future. We might even kill ourselves off this planet before that. That's what I'm saying. It's like who, I would say the fight really is, is the sun going to burn out prior to humans destroying and making

earth unlivable, which I think like we're working on a faster trajectory than like the sun and slowing back. It's the reason that no matter what happens on this planet, we're not here forever. So all this stuff we're doing, you would think has some sort of lasting memories or reasoning for why we are doing it. And the thing that keeps me up at night is that it's all for nothing. It's all for this. No, no, no.

It's finite about it. It is. It's that dark. It's for a finite amount of time in the grand scheme of things over billions. and billions of years. It's just for nothing. No, but think about all the joy that will happen from then until now. You know what I mean?

Like, it's just, oh my God. Is that Trent? Trent. You know what's joy? Trent just showed up onto the fucking podcast. We're talking about how one day the sun's going to explode and none of this is going to matter. And it's really, it's really horrifying, Trent. But I want you to talk about what you've been going through over the last 20 or so minutes.

Can you guys hear me? Yeah. Yes. Speak. All right. I genuinely feel like a 75-year-old man. Like, I've never encountered technology or the internet. I actually feel like a caveman. I feel like that scene in Zoolander where Ben Stiller and Wilson are hitting the screen over and over again.

I'm on my phone. I tried to connect every which way from my IMac, from my laptop, to now my iPhone, working halfway decently. I genuinely can't tell you the last time I was this frustrated. I'm just, I want to, I want to break something. Everything in my apartment is too, but I want to break it into a million billion pieces. We think you're 75 years as well based on this conversation going back on the four-play text thread. I mean, it's a mess what's going on over there.

I just, I don't understand how there's no solutions, even though it seemingly feels like you found one. How did you find one? How are you connected to us now? I'm just on my phone, but it's fucking, it's horrible. Like this is the worst way to do a podcast, in my opinion. And I've just, I've tried every other which way. And I think, like, I'm a guy who thinks he knows what he's doing when it comes to technology. And this thing just has me beaten.

It's got me beaten. I don't know what else to say. I'm sorry. You're tapping out, but you're not tapping out because he came back. Right. There's fighting there. Yeah, but it's like at the cost of what? Like you guys are coming in and out.

Frankie looks like a Picasso painting to me right now. His is so blurry and so out of focus that there's like almost no point to even be. Frankie for me too is a little blurry. And there he goes. So Frankie's internet, I will say, is almost as bad as yours is, Dee. It is, he's dropped. This is the third time he's dropped. I'm trusting my internet on a Marriott, which is pretty stable, pretty strong usually for the most part.

So yeah, this podcast, I would say, is the most rinked-in one we've ever, ever put out. But right now, you look more stable than he, honestly. The video clarity of T. Ryan and your glasses is spot on. Hold things a fucking mess. And honestly, it's an embarrassment and it's a slap in the face to the listeners. We have hundreds of thousands of listeners. I can't even connect now where I'm inside a fucking bar at Old Stonewall Golf Club. The place is phenomenal, by the way. This golf course is a, it is a beauty. When you drive around this place, there's rocks, there's all these stones. The, the architecture here. is off the charts. There's T-boxes that are so high that I don't even know if they're legal to be

able to go up there and hit from. It's crazy how cool of undulating course this is. Amazing. It's a castle. So I'm inside a castle right now. But I just can't connect to the Wi-Fi, so it's hard to do a podcast. So I'm trying to go in and out. Fucking Alex, the guy who edits our podcast now, Alex, good luck with the audio and the ins and outs. You're going to have to add a bunch of, like the blue screens, like you're watching a old school home movie. I'm honestly dehydrated from the entire thing. And what I'm going to go and do right after this podcast is go drink BioLite. We have them stocked to the gills here at the Barstool Classic.

Is that the saying? Yeah. Okay. So, you know, BioLite is a physician formulated recovery drink. Stuff to the gills. Not stacked. Stack the can't be right. Could it?

I said stocked to the gill. So probably not right either. Biolite is a physician formulated recovery drink made with a all natural ingredients that will help you feel better fast. It's the IV in a bottle. It contains the same amount of electrolytes as an ivy bag. You'd have to drink six and a half sports drinks just to equal one biolite. It's only 45 calories and contains a third of the amount of sugar. So I'm telling you right now, go check out BioLite. BioLite is now available to purchase directly on their website. Go to drinkbiolite.com slash barstool and use code for play for 10% off your first order

that's drinkbiolite.com slash barstool and use code for play for 10% off your first order. We have them all over the place here on the course. I saw kids drinking them. I saw all the people here at Old Stonewall drinking them. It was kind of a cool Pennsylvania day. We had the fog in the morning. It was a nice breeze. But people were still getting dehydrated.

It still got hot when the sun came out and you had to drink your biolite. So thank you to BioLite. Make sure you go check it out. And yeah, this is a frustrating podcast because, you know, I wanted it to be a good one. We got no rigs here. It's all falling on our shoulders. And technology is slapping us right across the face with their big, meaty cock.

Which is really unfortunate for us, being a technology or media company just to be this poor on the internet side. But we are where we are. And the phrase is stuff to your gills, meaning just like your full stuff for the gills, restaurant stuff for the gills. Now, I don't know where it comes from, but that is the phrase. It is not stocked to the gills, which is. I thought the word that came before, the word you used to describe what it is, I didn't think that mattered as much in that saying.

Stuffed, filled, you know what I mean? So it's all about just saying to the gills. As long as you get gills in there, you're good. I think so. All right. Does that do with a fish? Yeah, I think you're just completely full.

He can't breathe. And do fish get that full? I mean, you know, I don't know. I don't know much about fish, honestly. Trent, do you ever get drippiness around your nut sack? Drippiness around my nuttack? In what way? Well, we were talking about Tommy Johns before and they're moisture wicking.

And one of the lines on there is like if it's trying to melt your popsicle. And sometimes if I'm like, I'll notice that like it's going to start getting real wet down there. And I was wondering if you ever suffer from those same situations or if Tommy Johns has corrected that for you. Pre Tommy John, I would have described it as swampy. Okay. Like it's never a drip. It's like, oh, I just stepped into a sauna down here. Oh, speaking of sweating and dripping and sauna, you hung some art in your apartment recently.

And I saw that you posted that it was a fucking workout. And I want to know how'd that go and how did you come to the decision to put the art that you put up? Yeah. So I've, again, I'm in the process of moving into this new apartment and it's slowly coming together. But, you know, historically, living spaces, I haven't put anything up. I don't, I don't ever know what to, it's the same reason I've never gotten a tattoo. I am just like not that attached to things where I want to permanently put them on my body walls. So what happens, I end up with a tattooless body and an artless apartment. So I'm now trying to like think about things that I like

and put them up on the walls. So I've done that a couple times. Yeah, on Friday or Saturday, this was a little premeditated because I ordered these record shelves that you can put records on. I ordered those and then you can put them on your wall and you can display what records you have. So I did that. I ordered four of those. And then I hung them up on the walls and I had to measure it all out. I wanted it in the middle of the wall that I put it up on. I had to have it in the middle.

I had to have it going straight up because if they look catty wampus, people are going to walk in and be like that. If they look what? what? If they look what? Caddy Wompis? Yeah, you got it. No. What's that?

You knew I was going to comment on that because you smirk. You smirk. You fucking smirked. And he said, oh, I want to put these things up on the wall. But if they look catty wampus, and you fucking gave me a little smile and you gave me a wink. What the fuck is catty wampus? Who uses that in terminology?

I would give you the definition of it if any of my four screens work. But the one that I'm on, one thing that I'm working, somebody look up catty wampus. It means, you know, No, off-sets are wobbly. So I... It's the first thing that pops up.

Caddywampus. What is Caddywampus? The alternative form of cattywampus is crooked, skewed, slanted, or off. What the fuck? How did we get there? How did we get there? I've been using cattywampus my whole life. I figured you're a big cattywampus guy.

It's just a mouthful. I've never heard. It's just a word that took me back for a second. I never really heard it. I do like that. I really like your decision. I thought that was really cool. Now you can swap those out too, right?

Like whatever you're into. Like it's almost like if you're bringing girls back, it's like, oh, like what's the mood for tonight? Are we going fucking let's get it on Marvin Gay? Is he going to fucking limp biscuit break stuff with me tonight? Like what's going on? So I really like, you know, the whole vibe around that. That makes me kind of feel a little. Yeah, I actually thought that was a borderline really good idea where not right now.

I've got the four up there that I put on Instagram, but like you're saying, if the mood strikes in a different way, I can, it's wall art, but it's, it's cycling and it can, it can be whatever it wants to be at any time. And I really like that about it. And it came out pretty well. I'm a fan. I'm a real fan. You don't want white walls. White walls are depressing. So you got to cover. White walls are bad. And there's something about it's really, it feels like a really good achievement. Like a, there's a sense of like accomplishment. when you do line it up in the middle. I've had to do some like gallery art wall. And that was a nightmare because you have multiple things going left and right. It's got to all be kind of centered and proportional. And when you finally finish it, you look at it and you're like, that's, I did math. Yeah. I used the arts.

Like I have a creative eye, like everything that my brain could possibly conjure up to make sure that we get made this happen worked. Like I used. a lot of brain power. And it's a real sense of accomplishment. I did. I felt very accomplished after and it, you know, people seem to like it. I like it. And that's really all you can ask for. But now I got to figure out other ways to decorate in my apartment. I got to buy more stuff. That's not the end all and be all. I mean, it looks really nice. But it's only, it's just like one very small part of my apartment. So it's a work in progress. But I was proud of that. Yeah. Stuff to the gills. I can't stop thinking about it. I was stuff to the gills the other day.

I was walking around my house and I kind of just like coughed and I just puked on the floor. I was I ate so much pasta that it just kind of popped out of my mouth. And I haven't stopped thinking about that since. I kind of just like looked around and I was like, yeah, that there was just like a piece of pasta on the floor like a rigatone was just sitting there and kind of some sort of fucking gook. And I was just looked at it and I'm just like yeah. No, it's time to get one of those tests for the anti, what is it the endoscopy? that you can get. I think Caleb got one and he realized that he couldn't throw up for the rest of his life

or else he was going to die. It's like one of those tests that you can get to see if your acid reflux is really, really bad, which I think I have a massive problem with. Are you guys? Big thumbs guy. No. See, like at some point, like we have to just figure out how to stop eating tums and just get it fixed, right?

Like, why is the inside of our body turning into a volcano and why are we not doing everything we can do to fix it? Every night I go to bed. I know why. I love dairy. And so I'm just going to keep eating dairy. I love cheese. I mean, that's got to have a cheeseburger from time of time.

I got to have pizza from time to time. That ruins my body. Ruins my ability to breathe. It ruins my ability to not huck up Lugis, which is Frankie's favorite thing on the planet. That's disgusting. Yeah. Have you decided that you'd rather die than not eat cheese?

No, it's just I don't see like the long-term effects. You know what I mean? Like, it's bad, but it's not like, there's no counter in my. head that's like oh my clearly losing days but the Washington Post did just a bunch of people tagged me in this they did a study and I'll read uh ancient Europeans were lactose intolerant they drink milk anyway study finds what I also know is like about ancient people is that they're basically their length of life was just much less than it is today. 20 years old was like an old man

right so you know I do think about that. Um, so that study, yeah, that's great that they did in the past, but like we can probably be better and smarter. And so I know they lived a much shorter life. So that did hit me a little bit, but I don't know, man. Dairy can just be so good. A burger's good. A cheeseburger is excellent. I just had one today at old stone wall. It was really good. It was fucking grilled perfectly where the edges had the charcoal crispiness. Yeah. And then when you got like that corner with a real, real bubbly cheese off the side of it. You're like, whoa, baby, we're eating cheesy meat right now. That's a good place to be. I do want what's up, Doc, I want people to be able to message me about

what are the negatives of constantly having acid reflux? It has to be burning up some part of your esophagus or like entering your lungs or some, I'm picturing like, I'm picturing a volcano and lava and it's like just bubbling inside. So I do want to know if I do have to get that fixed that. I mean, I think gut health is like the number one thing you want to be cognizant of and have like a good healthy gut because I think that stems into so many other issues. So if you are throwing up or you just feel awful about everything that you eat, which is like me, it is not a good thing. I would love to know besides doing a crazy like one day water cleanse and things like that, what is really good for your gut? So if people want to tag me and like things

that are good to eat and good to repair your gut, I'm totally down to try to eat more of those things. Because I'm walking around as fat as I've ever been. You know, it's a really bad grabber that I've noticed now. Somebody facetimes you and you're just like getting into your car and you pull the seatbelt strap down. That's one of the worst looks in the game, especially if you're holding the phone down by like the transmission you know where you're throwing it to like park and drive and whatnot if the phone's down there and it's looking up you and the seatbelts grab the one of your side boobs and got him pulling it a little bit you see how little definition you have like a loose i got this like loose pinehurst t-shirt on as soon as that seatbelt grabs the middle of it i mean i

look i don't look good usually but i look like a billion pounds bro that's the worst and you know how bad The titties are getting somebody at Pup Punk. Titty scoot me. Some fucking fan. You asked for that though. No, bro. It was like in conversation. He's like, Frankie, you're looking good.

He's like, look at you. And fucking gave me a little flick. And just, I felt his, his index finger grab a lot of meat right there. Yeah. And it flicked up. And we both looked at each other like, fuck, dude, that thing reverberated. Dude, I had. That thing fucking went one, one, one, one.

So love this kid to death. Speaking of just. nightmare stories for big voice. So, Tia, we just finished up a golf trip this week, and I was telling Frankie about 24 guys, 12B12, Rider Cup style. You're on those teams for Lightsong. We got this guy Fitz on the trip. Scott Fitzgerald, great cat, from Wainmouth, Massachusetts.

It's real character. But he is like 350 plus, and he's like, I would say he's, well, how tall are you, T? 511. 6, 511. He's like right in there. He might be like 5.5. 5-10, 5-11. He's somewhere in that mix.

So he's a hunk of meat, and he's not like, he's no weightlifter. You know what I mean? You never confused him with being like the strongest man alive. He's got some pounds to give. But he is like a sneaky good athlete. Like he was throwing high kicks and whatnot. Anyways, the only reason I bring him up is so we're, we just finished our round. We're having kind of like beers on this deck.

We're up in the Berkshires, having a good time. And he comes walking up the deck. And he meant to like kind of like scoot around. round things. But when you're that big, you know, you can't, you don't have, like, the ability to look straight down. You got to, like, notice objects before you get there, or else you just can't look over your gut to actually see them. Like, he can't look down and see his feet. And so, anyways, he came barreling onto the deck. He, like, shimmied around one cooler, but his other foot just caught a cooler. And, oh, my, I mean, he went down as fast as he could. So, he,

smacked his face and the funniest thing about it, like, you know, when you fall, like, you got to get your hands out. If you don't get your hands out, it's a complete mess. I don't know if his hands are tied up or whatever the case may be. But, oh, I mean, his face hit the deck, squared out. His body kind of just, like, spread on the deck a little bit, like he was down, down. And it was one of the saddest big guy moments of all time. And when he, like, stood up, he was clearly, like, humbled and confused, basically.

on the moment of just like a bad body moment. Like it was bad all around. Love my guy fits, but that was that was a poor moment for the guy. I'm just clad the deck honestly stayed up. So yeah, when you have those bad body moments, I mean, there's nothing worse. You feel so like lonely and open. You know what I mean?

Like you can't hide any longer. Like a T-shirt clothing. It's all about hiding how pathetic your body is, certainly as Americans. But when those. moments happen and you unveil yourself to the world, it's a, it's a scary place to be. Yeah, dude, there's a reason I wear those carhart shirts. Hey, those bad boys are starchy.

Like, they're basically, it's basically like, that's cardboard. Yeah, it's cardboard bordering on metal. It's just, it's just everything off. Everybody always tells me like, oh, you look so great. Are you losing weight? And it's like, no, I just wear the right clothes. Like, I know what clothes to wear with my body. And it has to be something that's impenetrable.

The titty's and the gut can't get through. It's all about planning. So, yeah, the soft titty grabber shirts, I'm out on all of them. Yeah. Yeah, that's probably the right move, honestly, because it does. Yeah, I mean, like a black carhard shirt, that thing gets wet. It still holds its form. Yep.

You get this blue shirt, and then it, like, it does the body grab, which is just, you can't get that, you can't get that shirt drying up to get it off your body, especially if you're in a public place. Bad. You know, fat bodies suck. And they're just, they're just not even fat bodies. Bodies that have no definition. Like Frankie,

I wouldn't describe you as fat, but like you don't have a great body. Like welcome to the show. I'm a stick of butter with like. Right. And so. I'm a stick of butter that's like almost done like on the thin side. Like someone almost shaved the top, but then left a couple lumps in there.

You know what I mean? It's just like, it's kind of melanched. melting and they like kind of just they dug a spoon into it so there's real thin parts but then there's real round parts that's the best i can describe it think that's true you know exactly you can picture that piece of butter perfectly right now i think so yeah um fuck yeah i wish i had the confidence to just like not care about that stuff because again like it's all going to be over one day and like we're not going to know the difference between whatever it is and what that like once the lights go

out, I don't give a fuck about what my body looked like. So I just got to start having better confidence. So, T, we were talking about this almost like, not a battle, but this like two options that basically ruin the planet. And it's the sun burns out or people just destroy the planet and it's no longer livable. And Frankie basically took that line as like, well, it's all miserable anyways because like, who cares? Like this isn't going to live forever. It doesn't matter. you know, basically Frank's take is like wide a lot at that point.

It's a fact. We can't get away from it. No, but we can still have a lot of fun up until that point and, you know, cherish the time that we have. So I think there's a positive, you know, and a negative spin on that. I think we should really try to focus on the positives

and not have people just pull off to the side of the road and just say, you know what? Hey, no sense to keep this show going. The thing about Earth that's interesting is like it's not going. anywhere. It's the things like we are. If we fuck it up so bad, like then it reacts in a way that kicks us off. The Earth just sticks around. We are the ones that can't live here anymore. No, that's not true. The Earth is gone one day factually.

That's true. One day when the sun explodes, there's no, there's no getting around that. But what I'm saying is like, in the short term, when you're talking about ruining the planet, the planet doesn't get ruined. It gets ruined for us. That's the difference. Right. Yes. Going anywhere. it. Okay, but I think that it's more horrifying to know that When the sun explodes, or like dies out, you're telling me that the earth is going to disintegrate now. It's still

just going to be there. No, it'll completely disintegrate. Really? I didn't know. I did not know that factoring. I just thought it would burn out and then we just have darkness. No, I think it's, if you watch, I mean, the videos that I've watched, I guess, when a star explodes, which the sun, it gets bigger and bigger and it engulfs everything. thing around it and the earth is i mean relatively we're pretty close to the time so our entire

oh yeah gets gets weight gets blown out because the sun is going to ban before it explodes that makes me want to scream i that's happening that doesn't bother me at all that theory none of that stuff when we were talking to that guy he was like yeah like the sun could be burnt out right now and then you wait what three or six seconds and that's when you'll know seven minutes So that was the logic that I was going off of that I'm just like waiting for it to get dark rather than like no, no, no, you're dead. No, it doesn't. No, it's not about getting dark. It's about just wiping the whole thing off and that's going to happen one day.

It sucks. It does suck. Just knowing that like I guess the thing that I can't wrap my head around or accept is that like we're building towards eventually nothing. And like I understand that it's all about the ride. but the idea that it's all will be wiped away factually sucks i don't know i mean we we just do this very there's no hope no i do very differently it's like i like i don't find comfort in that but it's also like then it's like who cares like yeah it's going to go away but first of all it's not going to happen for billions of years you're going to be the most gone by the time yeah so it doesn't

matter in that respect and also like then it's like yeah things are going to go away but maybe make that put that, try to look at it a different way and be like oh moments matter more because it's all going to be gone at some point the idea of dying scares me of course it does

bad it's weird it's a weird concept so dude I think about when you know what fucks me up guys is when I watch a movie about like I don't know maybe a war movie or like someone just got shot like shot And I'm thinking like saving private Ryan and like the guy's on his lap and he's like, all right.

Like you know this guy is dying. Like what is that guy thinking about being like in a second I'm going to be dead. You know what I mean? That moment of being like, you hope it's peaceful. You know, you hope those thoughts. In 10 seconds it's done. It's over. I'm going.

Like it's over. Like the thing that I've always like wandered, wondered or like didn't know about is happening in 10 seconds. It's happening. It's happening. It's happening. It's happening. And then what?

That stuff. makes me want a fucking puke did you guys talk any golf while i was out we talked about tony for you now and how he says being a loser uh makes him a winner that's a good quote we chat we chat about to win them for a half second or said riggs was on his way there playing in the pro am he's got the fucking driving yip so someone's going to get murdered out there he was the worst golfer at the barso classic today factually yeah i mean he can get him he can slap that thing from that thing can go across the map. So, oh, speaking of if you want to really get a breakdown, I want to give a shout out to these guys, the break 80 podcast. They're a local Minnesota podcast that actually caddied for us

at the 3M pro M. And, you know, we thought that these guys, like, they just won a contest and like they were going to caddy for us. They told us that they had this little like local podcast. And I actually listened to it. It's really good. It's, you know, it's very similar to like just us like four guys. talking and recapping their weekend rounds. And I thought they had like a pretty good like sense for like talking. They all like had good conversation. I was pretty impressed with it all. And they actually break down just like every aspect of our game and like cadding for us and our relationships with our caddies. It was pretty interesting to hear each guys take away. Like they gave like initial thoughts of like, all right, you got rigs. You had Frankie. You had Trent.

What did you think? So that was pretty funny. I thought they did a good job. So go listen to that. It was like the 3M recap episode or something like that. So hopefully they get a nice little bump and they'll all be fucking going crazy that we're sending a bunch of people their way. And then I guess I had some other housekeeping things here if we want to get off all the death talk because I know it's starting to make people feel a little queasy. Housekeeping is breaking 90s coming out on Thursday. So that's in two days. We have a new episode coming out.

I tweeted out yesterday that I felt something in the air when I set up to the T with Trent. I don't think a lot of people thought that I was talking about myself because I said I have a good feeling about breaking 90 today. So that was a mistake on my part. I got like 400 responses being like, you can do it. It's like, well, dude, like I just dropped my fucking handicap from a 10 to a six and like a half a week. So it's like, let's just pump the tires for a second. And then I did feel something. I felt something.

So that's a fucking tease for Thursday. I'm not going to give anything away. But we have to be able to promote this thing. It's a weird world we live in where it's like you don't want to talk about how excited you. you are for the show because then like you think you might be giving something away and you also don't want to say that you're not excited because so it's just like just watch theirs you know what I mean like just watch it on there do we want to say where we went yes we went back to rockville lynx golf club we thought um well I I proposed this to Trent saying I think I've read the comments I've read

people's messages to me saying you got to take them to the same course or at least a collection of courses that he feels comfortable with. How hard is it to play a different golf course from a different set of teas on different pins every single time you golf? It's like the most non-natural way to try and get better in your game. Most people show up to the same uni. They show up to the same country club. They play the same teas. They know the way the fairway runs. They know the way the greens run. They know the type of shots they like to hit on certain holes. Rockville has become that place. Colonial is becoming that place because it's just it's his home course now. There's there's like all these places that I think are good. So we went back to Rockville. And let me tell you, just watch

Thursday. I, I, I, yeah. Thursday, going back to the same course is awesome, I think. I agree. So yeah, we went back to Rockville. That's great, good vibes for sure. I mean, like, if you really, that's why I like, I always like playing against somebody that's like a, is always a member, like, is a member of a country club, they say they're like a seven or whatever, but they play that same exact course. I feel like actually for all of us, having the handicaps we do, and people obviously knock us all day long for being bad golfers. But I actually feel like on average, we're better than the average, like six or whatever you are, T, and myself, because we never play the same place. We always play somewhere new. It's always different, different wins, different pins, different greens in terms of how they

role, different like natural misses. So I actually feel like we've got traveling handicaps, which I almost feel like it's better than the average bird. So anyways, T, did you have that same kind of maybe magic feeling going to Rockville, being back there, having good vibes there? Yeah, I'm just really comfortable there. Luke, the super, it's great to us. And I just, I've gone out there and I've played a lot.

I've played there, you know, three times now on camera. And then, but Frankie and I, you know, within the last. 12 months, 18 months have just played out there a bunch. Like Luke is having us out. So I've played that course a bunch of times. And yeah, I just, I felt comfortable that day and I felt great all day. Nice. If that's awesome.

Before we get into some more housekeeping items, I want to get into Sling TV real quick. Sling TV, we've all cut the cord. We're moving into new places.

Sling.com slash barstool. The other thing I want to say is the Steph Curry video is out on YouTube. Just one of the more preposterous videos we've really ever put out.

It's something that not enough people are talking about. We're posting a lot about it. Dave made a comment on Dave Portner. being like you got to let the guy kind of do his thing how many times you shove a camera in a guy's face i'm kind of getting that feeling about how many times we're promoting it but it's also one of those things where it's like it's fucking step curry talking to us handshaking trent like you've never seen anyone handshake before saying he can't wait to come back next year i was drilling birdies in his face and he's screaming frankie he's on my team like it's just the best three-point shooter of all

time so i mean did you guys get a chance to watch it Trent i know that you were talking about the handshake yeah i did watch it and it it's just a great video. I mean, Steph Curry is no stranger to a golf course. That's been an underlying storyline throughout his career. Obviously, he's an incredible basketball player. And when he played in the Barstall classic, and I say at the beginning of the video, he is the most relevant athlete, certainly in America at the time that that was, and maybe in the world. He had just won another title. He had just eliminated the Celtics. He was celebrating like crazy, pointing to his ring, like to get a guy like that, to play in a,

Barfield Classic in the Bay Area was just a huge deal. And yeah, we had the camera in his face the whole time. But we knew he was comfortable with it. Like, if we were sensing that he wasn't comfortable with it, we would have bailed. Like, there were times when, like, maybe they weren't playing as well, him and his guy, Jay Rich. And Frankie and I sort of disappeared in the background, but he never gave the sense that he was like, get these cameras out of here. He knows that he's Steph Curry. And he knows.

He's Steph Curry. He knows that. He is incredibly famous. He was even more famous at the time. He's still super famous. But yeah, the video's great. Him and I shared a great handshake that I didn't remember until someone tweeted the picture at me. Like when you meet a guy like that, it's just you're just trying not to throw up. And that's always the goal. Don't throw up and don't pass out. So when I shook his hand, I don't even remember, but it was an A plus handshake. Takes two guys to tango. We both, we really showed up for that handshake. And the video's great. People seem to love it. And it's cool to. watch a guy who is an incredible athlete, be an incredible athlete at a completely separate day. It's a great video. We're a big Dap Up podcast. We like to Dap Up a lot, but a firm handshake, I think goes a longer way. Something about it feels like a more, more of a connection. I dapped up Tiger Woods after you gave you guys fist bumps in Australia. That was an amazing

connection. But something about a firm handshake is different. You guys had a real firm. It's like a sense of like yeah like we both respect each other let's let's go on for the real thing here yeah it feels very yeah handshakes are more official like dapp ups are more excited like you know rory gave us those lessons big dapp up like that was epic but like yeah handshake is like we're both here and almost like we're seeing each other on like even playing field it's also it's step curry like i want to be right i want to have as much respect for that individual as i can he is a one and a billion athlete. He's the great.

I mean, like, he's won in history. How many people have ever been on the planet? You know, it's like, he is one in that. He's the best to ever shoot a basketball. Right. How many people have ever played basketball? That's a big number. I don't know what it is, but it's a large number.

And shooting is a huge part of the game of basketball, and he's the best to ever do it. It's just, it's cool, man. To meet somebody like that is very cool. Dude, he's so sweet too Because like sometimes he like has the form And it like, okay, that looks like it should go in Because he kind of like spots up and throws it

Other times dude, he just like dribbles down the sideline And like just throws up his hands and it's just nothing but net It's the coolest thing that he can get off a three point shot With literally no space at all Seemingly no form at all No time and like just kind of like Hock it over there and every time it seems to go in. Well, it's

cliche. That was the interesting thing. When we interviewed JJ Reddick, I asked him about that. I was like, what makes Steph different than you, then Ray Allen, that all of these great shooters that I come through? Like, what is, what makes him just that much better where he is the best ever? And his answer was super interesting. But part of it was that every time he catches the ball, he catches it the right way, the way

that he wants it. Regardless if he's dribbling down the court or if he's coming off a screen or he's just flailing, every time he shoots that ball, the spin is the same and the grip is the same. He just has a way. He's practiced it so much where he can just get the ball and maneuver it in a 0.2 seconds to the way that he likes it and shoot it. That's what makes him the best ever. Little things like that.

I'm actually playing with JJ Redick tomorrow golf, and that's going to be an all-time moment in my life, just like going out there with arguably one of the best, I don't even know if it's arguable, like one of the best, college basketball players of all time. For sure, one of the biggest names. You ever see how much money he actually made in the NBA just off career earnings? Of course.

No. $112 million. He had a good thing going, man. He had that. Fucking a lot. Dude, that's a fucking lot of money. He was also that guy at Duke that like nobody, because he was always won, free throws a whole bit.

And then I feel like in the NBA, like, I don't know. I feel like more than people liked him because he was just, he was playing basketball. of all grinding it out and not like that superstar and still showed to have like an awesome role seemed to be like a great person um yeah man he's an impressive person like in many different regards yeah he carved out like a nice niche and it's hard to say niche at 112 million dollars but if i remember the clippers deal was he just got an insane amount from the clippers and he was just like he was just a shooter he was a really good shooter it's awesome i can't wait for that I'm going to be pretty nervous about it just because I don't know if he's the best.

I don't know that I'm going to be nervous about his golf game. It's going to be a different type of nerve where it's like he's just JJ Redick. He's got a big name. And it's like you just seen him your whole life. You've kind of watched him in the biggest in the biggest game. Who's in the group? Anyone else we know or no? Yeah, we got Barzzi going in there.

I got Barzie playing from the aisles. And then I don't know who else is playing with him. So it should be a pretty good all-time Frankie Burrelli golf group. So that'll be fun. I do want to say Quickly on the JJ Quickly on the JJ before you get into that He was mentioning one contract that he had

Yeah he had a big one 70 Millo With the Sixers Sixers he signed a two-year deal But the first year he got paid $23 million in the year 2017 and 18 So that was a good year for the boy

What was the Clippers deal? Clippers was Just a longer deal. That was probably worth, I don't know, yeah, that was, yeah, first year he got paid six and a half, six point seven, seven million seven point three. So that was just a longer deal. The 76ers, he went 23 million and then 12.25 the next year. So those were real solid back to back years. Wow. Um, Pump was in Atlantic City this week. Um, kind of a weird location off the boardwalk. and we were kind of surprised with the turnout.

We were kind of grinding over tickets to try and get people to Atlantic City. It's kind of a weird area. Atlantic City is definitely not what it used to be. But they had a huge car convention there. All the hotels were sold out. It was nuts. Place was amazing. I mean, filled to the gills.

I'm just going to use that. And we had a great time. My dad went on the stage and hyped everyone up. PFT shredded the fuck out of that place. showed up in a limousine with all of his friends. He's just the best. PFT is the fucking best. I love him.

I love his family. I love everything about him. I love our whole entire band. And we're coming to New York City on Saturday night. Gramercy Theater. Tickets are still available. They're going to probably go up quick. They're going to go quick towards Saturday.

So if you want to still grab them, get them early now, send them to your buddies, make the trip into the city. I mean, I think we've set aside like 50 tickets for barstool employees are coming. They're all hopping on a bus and getting there. It's going to be unbelievable experience. I can't wait for a Saturday night. Trent has been in the building. Yeah, I'm going to be there for sure. I'm just going to take the train in, go right to Gramercy.

It's been a while since I've been to a pop-punk show. I think the last one I went to was Mulcahys, and that was a couple of years ago, but they're just a lot of fun. Like, they really are. And they're good. The band is really good. PFT is good. Robby Fox is good.

Roan is good. Frankie is good. Like, it's a great band to just go see. And if you're looking for something to do on a Saturday night, what's more fun than going and seeing a band that's going to play old hits that you can't along to? It's just a great night. Well, that's my thing.

dad was even saying, I mean, he was like the biggest pump up the tires guy of all times. He'll say that we were great anyway. But he was kind of looking around that night being like, no one has a bad night at those events. Like you're either at the bar, getting drunk with your friends and you're like listening to music or you're up by the stage going absolutely fucking crazy because you're just like all in on the experience. You're like at a concert. It's not a real band, but they're playing 90s music and you know every single song and every and like the people up there, you kind of know because you listen to their podcast and now they're playing instruments. It's just like you look out in the crowd and no one's having a bad time.

And regardless of ticket sales or whatever or me trying to push like and advertise it, I genuinely do think it's a fun night. So take that for what it is. And then I want to say this is kind of like bringing down the mood because you don't want to think about going back to school. I used to always hate counting down the days to when like September was rolling around. It was like the worst feeling of all time. You're like cruising through July, August feeling.

like, all right, it's starting to slow down a little bit. And then you know September's coming. It's like a whole year of school is about the start. No worse feeling than that. But we do have a back to school early fall merchandise line launching very soon, August 10th. Make sure that you're ready for that because every time, what's that little whispering noise by the way? Is something happening? Can you hear that? I'll go on mute. That's a, there's a, I'm in a hotel and the lawnmower's going off right now. Okay. Yeah. Just. a little bit. Just a massive applaud.

They've got the back-to-school early fall launching August 10th. That stuff goes quick. Early fall merchandise goes fast. You're talking light hoodies. You're talking long sleeves. You're talking hats. You know what I'm talking about?

You're talking quarter zips. Like, we're beyond the t-shirt game at this point for selling because you want to be able to get it shipped to you for the beautiful September fall nights. You got to be on your game August 10th. August 10th is when things start to happen. And Trent, I know this starts to make you feel real good. Well, yeah, I love fall. Fall is my favorite time of year.

The weather's perfect for a guy like me. It's big guy weather. We were talking about earlier, like trying to hide what's actually going on with your body. Nothing does that better than hoodies than long-clean T-shirts. It's just a, it's the perfect weather for a guy like me. College football starts to roll around. Fall golf is amazing. Like things are just way better when the temperature is a more manageable temp.

10th. Like 90 degrees is not good for a guy like me. 70 degrees is great for a guy like me. And that's kind of what this back to school line of stuff is going to be. So get ready for that August 10th.

I've yet to really show my nipples in the public. I've yet to pop the top in public this whole summer. I've gone an entire summer without anyone outside of my household, seeing my nipples. So I think I'll go probably. the entire year with that, I think, at this point. It's already August. It's my birthday month. No one said happy birthday yet. So I don't know. I got a message from Disney this morning on my email saying it's it's your birthday month. And it says, we have something special for you. And I have not opened you yet because I want to wait until I was like all ready to see what the package was. I think.

I'm going to have a fourth. I will for sure. 100%. I don't think I'm, I don't think I've possessed. I do. And this is now, I've told you guys that I am afraid of death and that I, you know,

that's something I think about every single night. I also am afraid that I don't think I have what it takes to make a man or, or honestly a child. I don't think, I don't think I have reproduction abilities. I'm way too soft. it's crazy it's like a i'm like a poodle dog i'm not a fucking german shepherd you know what i mean i'm just a little fucking like and it's just like it's just a little squirt onto the rug you know what i mean

there's no way there's no fucking way there's no fucking way i can plant the seed and just fucking have it grow bro it's a fucking it's it's an empty capsule dude there's no chance i you know I think, no, I don't think that's right. I think, I think you probably can. I mean, I don't have. I don't feel, I don't feel it in my bones, dude. I don't feel it, man. I don't, I don't have that.

I don't grow hair on my chest. I don't fucking, you know, it is what it is. So whatever. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I was going to, I was going to compare that to your dad, but your dad's a man. He, like, runs. He's a man. Yeah.

It's a man. He's waking up early, getting the dough ready. getting the restaurant ready. That's a man. Fucking mustache fucking tan. No, I'm not a man, dude. I'm just a boy.

We're losing that generation. That generation of like men. Like my dad's a man in comparison to me. That name, dude, Malcolm? It's like, come on. We're just not even, we're losing that, which is sad.

Yeah, no. I actually got on the plane today and somebody walking down, I'm in Memphis and some guy walking down the aisle and just having a shirt. You were walking in Memphis? No.

I was walking in Memphis. Oh, that's a good. Walking in my street, I need on the feet. I might turn that on. It's a fucking Mark Cone. Mark Cone's the singer of that song. He just had a shirt that said,

I am a man right on it. And, you know, it gave me a small chuckle. I like the shirt. But. What are you looking at? My dad would never wear a shirt like that because he exudes it by the way that he is.

I hear you. But I think. yeah but I would say people are different in terms of like vocals and I feel like it looked like this guy was maybe a little bit more vocal and wanted to tell the generation of everything that's going around in our world that you know we need men yeah we do need men uh I mean we've got I would consider all three of you guys men Trent's definitely a man you're a man lurch I'd say rigs is a man he played hockey at Harvard he's got fucking men feature he's got that fucking he's like abrasive he's got the bald head everything about him's like manly

abrasive makes him a man yeah for sure I'm a soft little baby you know what I mean rub my fucking cheek against your belly button you know I really you know it's just whenever I have the mic in my in my mouth too much like this where I have to kind of run the show things just kind of get off the fucking rails here and we got to just kind of wrap put a bow on this whole thing yeah um do you guys i have to make a flight soon so i do before we put a bow and i'd like to just give a quick shout of a quick thank you to the ranch good golf course up in south of massachusetts if you're around give it a shot um pretty beautiful place up there uh kind of between boston and new york city um so big thanks to

So big shout out to those guys, their staff and everybody up there for making a pretty awesome experience. Amazing. Oh, Luke Donald. We can throw in some new golf talk. Luke Donald is the new captain of the European Ryder Cup team. And he is a noted barstool Stoolie. He is a big stool. He's messaged with Dave. I think I don't know if they've ever been around each other. I know that he's talked to Riggs before. Luke Donald is a guy that just gets it. I think he's going to be a good captain for the European team. I think that's a great pick.

The guy never won a major, so I think he's going to take this very seriously. He's definitely up there with like the more iconic names of that generation that didn't win. Like Luke Donald's a big name. Lee Westwood. Yeah. Like a Colin Montgomery, right? Like it's like those types of guys you're like, fuck man. I don't know how many wins he has.

I didn't get a chance to look it up. But it's definitely a decent amount where it's like, hmm. Former. Should have been up there. Former number one in the world. I mean, that's no joke. There's not any of those. I mean, dude, when Scottie, when that list was coming out when Scotty became the number one, it was like, it was almost like that same list where it was, like, only Michael Jordan and LeBron James had been, and Kobe Bryant had been in the fucking championship for like the last 30 years, like either one of them.

Same with like the number one in the world. Like only five guys were number one in the world in golf. It's just a preposterous number. We got to now, you talked about him being a noted stool. We got to be careful though, because like you can't. like he's the European Rider Cup captain so oh yeah fuck yeah fuck him

I mean he knows that too if he's a stool he gets that like we're obviously not jumping ship that was Benedict Riggs last week our allegiance stands with Zach Johnson that's where our allegiance is unfortunately yes that's where it has to be

that guy is you know that guy has also been on a barso podcast and it's this one it's the four play golf podcast so let's not I'm gonna be it's gonna be big of me it's like it's just the way the world's working like everyone has an opinion on like leaders and all this stuff.

I don't like the leader of our team this year. I don't feel very confident in it. But also, I'm going to, I'm going to go. He can lead me. I'm going to fucking follow him. He is my leader. He is the leader of the United States Rider Cup team and I will follow him into the depths of hell. Doesn't mean I agree with him.

Doesn't mean that I'm a fan of him, but I will, I'm an American team. I'm an American team fan. That's actually very big of you. Thank you. That it's like, you respect the office. Oh, always. I do. I mean, at the end of the day, I might not agree with them. I might fucking make fun of them. I might send some memes about him in my group chats, but I'm still going to fucking,

if my name is called, I will fucking be there. Don in the red, white and blue, just fucking wearing my American, whatever, Peter Malar outfits, whatever, whoever's going to be the Ryder Cup outfitter. And I'm going to be right there on the first tea in Italy. That's what I'm going to do. If you don't think that I'm standing up for this team and this country, you're fucking insane we just went to whistling straits and absolutely ground pounded the european team if you don't think that we're coming for more blood i don't care who the captain is i don't care how many barcel podcast he listens to we're going to fucking dominate those guys and i'm going to be there i'm going to italy i'm going to find my family too it is it is easy before because we're just

going to absolutely demolish whatever that european rider cup team looks like is there a part of you that wishes that it does become competitive so that we do get those like miracle on grass type storylines bunch of no name european guys they lost all their team they lost their leaders they lost their captain there's the column uh calum tarrin leads the whatever european team no to the fucking promise land no zero beat them into submission don't let them get a point blank them let them get zero points. That's what the, I do like that. Whenever you see those viral scoreboards of like a high school girls basketball game where it's like 227 to 2. And everyone's like, you gotta be fucking more fair. It's like, no, I wish it was 297 to 2. I wish they never gave up the 2. Honestly, I'm giving a speech in

that locker room saying, how the fuck did you give up the two? Because now that girl's going home with a slight smile on her face. They got pounded by 250 points and she thinks she did something good today. No, you need to be better next game. I'll never forget. So in hockey growing up, there was this thing called the mercy rule where basically if a team was up by 10 goals in a game of hockey and it was either to start the third period or in the third period, the game was just declared over.

But you had to play two periods. And if the other team was up by 10, game over. So anyways, we had just switched from like one group to like another travel team. Basically, this kid, his dad had a ton of money and started this place. So we played as the Red Bank Generals. And anyways, new team, like one of my defensemen had electrical tape. We carried three goalies. We were bad.

And I was a goalie on this squad. So we play the Mercer Chiefs. you have to play two periods, remind you. They score 23 goals in two periods. They have shots that are 96 to 1. We didn't score, though. The kid, like, fluttered one in from the red line. They counted as a shot.

The defenseman just, like, picked it up before it was, like, ever going to go in the net. And so I give up three goals in the first, I don't know, maybe 14, 15 shots probably or something like that. I mean, they were just all over us. So anyways, we close up. We have to play them again, obviously. So they come to our place. And it's like right around Thanksgiving. They don't bring a goalie.

They bring like 12 kids. And they beat us, I think 10-1. Without a goalie, we got one empty netter and scored. And yeah, that was pretty much like the most miserable. thing in the planet, especially as a kid. So in professional sports, and really in all sports, I'm like, totally, I love just like, hey, dude, that team's better than you. They've butchered you.

But I do think at the kid level, if they're dead, I like the mercy rule. Also, it's funny as hell, but it's like, dude, as a parent, you're like, all right, it's Sunday. My kid's down by 10 goals in the game off. You in our case, 23. Let's just call it now so I can just like enjoy my Sunday, watch the Giants play. and not have to see my kid lose 35 to 0 instead of 23. Yeah, you just got to, you got to end it at that point.

I mean, I understand that. But yeah, I guess so. I guess if you can continuously crush them within the mercy rule a lot of time, then I love that. You also said like you made them mercy. Like they like begged for forgiveness. You know what I mean? They begged for you to stop.

They're literally on their backs being like, please no more. It's like the lady at that pro. Oh, am, that famous video where she just keeps teeing up and killing everyone to the left. Somebody telling her, stop! It's like, she has to stop doing this. She keeps reteeing and pulling drives into the crowd. But yeah, no, you have to just move on with your day at some point, especially if you're the parent. Maybe you have to go get a haircut, and where would you get that haircut, fellas, at sport clips?

How long has it been since you guys got your haircut? I'm going on way too long. It's honestly, it's getting really long on the side. I go once a week, sport clips. Wow. So you go to sport clips once a week. I haven't been in like two or three weeks. We've got one kind of by our house.

I will be going right when I get home. They also say that this could be a rated R brand safety one. So cockballs, pussy and ass. Well, it might be. I mean, I don't know. That's right. R. No.

Is that X? No, that's hard. You put that a movie. Is that instantly R? Yeah, might go X. Jake Bass is nervously looking at me through the window because we'd have to make a flight. in three and a half hours. So he's like, he just kind of took a walk and I could hear his breath through the bulletproof

glass. How long has it been since you got your last haircut? Well, it might be time to spend the head to Sport Clips. They've just developed a brand new super relaxing signature scent on their perfectly steamed hot towel, nothing better than a hot towel specifically at Sport Clips. It's been formulated specifically to bring the relaxation of the MVP haircut experience, which we all love. And they're going to bring that to another.

level. It's something that you will have to smell to believe. Make sure when you go in, you ask your stylist for the MVP experience. Not only will you try the new scent, but you'll also get the seven point massaging shampoo too. Smell like an MVP. Sport clips. The pros in men's hair. We love sports clips. We love sport clips. We go all the time. And you just got to keep your hair nice and tidy is no better feeling than getting the sides cut getting the back nice and uh you know trimmed up and shaped up because once it starts to get long and for me it starts to get like all greasy and curly on the corners in the back and you just you rub your hands through the back of your head it doesn't feel good nothing better than that feeling of getting the fucking buzzer to the back and then you start to

rub the back of your head it's nice and soft like a wet old baby i love that shit um so i got to make a flight boys. I'm heading back. I'm playing a good golf course tomorrow. I won't say where I'm playing, but I will probably recap the round on Thursday, on Thursday's show. We'll have, um, hopefully Ket, uh, sure, hopefully Riggs can get Kiz for a little bit. He's flying on a plane with him right now to the Wyndham. Um, Kiz is a defending champion at this golf course. He played the Barstow classic today, um, and didn't go to the practice round at the Wyndham, which is a, hilarious. Here comes Jake again. He just did another circle. Um, and then he's just like, they didn't sleep last night. And I'm sure Riggs will talk about that. They didn't sleep. I mean,

Lerich got a phone call at 145. I got a phone call at 145. My flight was delayed. He was very mad about that kids that I didn't make to the craps table or wherever they were doing at the casino here in Pittsburgh. So yeah, I think that's going to be a storyline to watch how Riggs, uh, how can Kisner do after playing in the Barstow Classic with a guy. who had the driver yips the entire day without sleeping. So it's not the best preparation for a defending champion. But Kisner has always proved that he is able to step up to the challenge because it is, in fact, not a hobby for that guy. He is fucking amazing at golf.

Some of the shots he was hitting today are just, you can't believe it. He's just wearing a hoodie in shorts and you're just like, all right, he's hung over. He's not going to play well. Pipes a drive on one. And then roast a three wood to 20 feet on a power. and barely missed the eagle putt for a tap and birdie. And you're like, different game, fellas. Different game.

Everyone else is puking, their shit in their pants. He's just fucking, woo, right down the middle. Coxeed, no problem. Do you guys have any closing thoughts? I have, I've gone through everything on my little list. I know Jake, we got, we got to make the fucking flight. Anything else from you guys? I got nothing.

I got nothing. It's good. Tea, I glad you solved the problem. You look clear as ever right now. So what a podcast it was. I think we actually closed pretty strong, but man, was that a chopy start? We'll have to talk to Alex.

I think there's parts in the middle we'll probably chop out from like when we were all just waiting on people. And then you and I were just talking about nothing just to get by of whatever. I thought this last hour was real solid. For honestly, we kind of got in a roll. Yeah, when you jumped out like twice or three times, I told Alex, I was like, we're just going to cut all this. I assume.

when he said, yeah. So we can talk more about that offline. But anyways, travel safe. Good seeing your fellows, and we'll see each other later in the week. Hopefully by that time, Nazim Cadry will be a Islander. I'm hearing a lot of rumblings about that. I don't know if it really works for our team. He's a center.

We don't need a center. We need a winger. We'll see what happens. Trent, I got you. Yeah, hold on one second, Jake. He's getting real bad right now. Imagine if he had to do this podcast. Imagine if he had to edit this thing.

He'd be losers. He's neurotic. He's a neurotic dude. he's just fucking, he's running around. I know we got to go. I know we got to go. He got to get away from the mirror. He's got to get away from the window.

He's just looking at me. I'm going to finish the podcast, dude. Okay. Let's finish this thing. He's driving me up a fucking wall. I love Jake. They guys fucking grind their dicks off. They just fucking film the full 18 hole match with Riggs and Kiz and now they're flying back.

And then he's editing breaking 90. Brennan's just sitting here shaking his head being like, my life is fucking hell right now, dude. His life is fucking hell. I got nothing left, fellas. I've talked all the amount that I could talk. Hit it hard. I love you all. Hit it hard.
