Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Oh, Rick! What's that my brother? I got a buddy who struggles with that shot a lot. His name's Frankie Borrelli. So the guys actually gave him a nickname of Butterknives because he always knifes it across the green. Bro, 100.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Now you've got to break 90s. We appreciate what you guys do for golf. It's been really cool. Thank you. You're making it cool. I was like, hey, Phil, you only fucking $29.99. And he grabs 100. He's like, yeah, I won $90,000 a lease yesterday.
Starting point is 00:00:37 He goes, take 100 and go fuck yourself. What? What are you that different? It's ain't a hobby. Foreplay presented by Barcelona Sports. We are live post-Memorial Day. We're recording on Memorial Day. So hope everyone had a lovely three-day weekend.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Sort of the summer kickoff type deal. I saw a lot of boats. There's a lot of boat action. People go out to lakes. There's a lot of lake, beach action. leading in Memorial Day weekend, which is really nice to see. I actually had a dream last night that starting the show, we were in person live somewhere. And I went to do the forward play, and I just went super high and totally blew it.
Starting point is 00:01:14 That has happened before. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a foreign concept on this show. No. And you go for, I almost like we, you know how musicians, when they actually perform their backstage doing their little voice warm up and stuff. we don't do any of that so to lead with for play i can just kind of you don't know what you know were you a
Starting point is 00:01:32 big voice crack guy like at 14 15 16 or did it kind of i'm still kind of a big voice crack guy a lot of times too at the classic because when we do you know announcements or we run sort of first tea or the putting contest afterwards you kind of just yell and my voice just it just cracks yes i've still a voice i'm still a uh adolescent i guess that would be this is probably not a great thing to bring up on a show that we're doing over zoom or riverside but in person shows are I would say 40% better. Yeah. Oh yeah. There's no doubt about that. Like when we were on that run, we're all together in Rochester or wherever we are, they're just better. And I again,
Starting point is 00:02:08 I shouldn't be bringing it up because we're doing a recorded show on Zoom right now. But I just want the people to know that we know because I can definitely tell the difference. Yeah. It's on, it's on. I will say that it's funny. If you look back to when we first started doing these in during COVID, 2020, whatever March, it's now. were so advanced or experience you've done hundreds of them that you really learn who to look at when and who's most likely to speak and your like cadence starts to drop off is there clearly going to pick it up and it's kind of amazing how even remotely you're able to get to that point but yeah nothing will be just being in person it's just better john rom said that to me he said that
Starting point is 00:02:50 to me when i saw him in scottesdale right before the pj where he didn't play particularly well which is not great for us. But he, he was like, by the way, shows are just way, in person. We need to do shows in person. I was like, I, John Rahm, I very much agree with you, man. Yeah, there's something human about it. I mean, as much as great as the technology has gotten.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And look at us. This is clear. I'm in 4K. You're all in 4K. And nobody is, their internet is 100%. Like, it's all great. Even if it's perfect over Zoom, in, there's something about being in person. And humans are just able to see, like,
Starting point is 00:03:24 who's going to talk next. And like you said that you can see it over Zoom, but you can, for whatever reason, there's the spidey senses are stronger when you're in person. I don't know why that is. Zuckerberg talked about that on Rogan, where he's like, because you're actually not looking into anyone's eye.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You're actually looking down. Yeah. Right. You're looking down. You're looking at yourself. Yeah. No, but like you actually physically, it's impossible to look each other in the eye.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Because if you look at the camera, I'm no longer looking at you. Like, think about, he talks about FaceTime. When you're FaceTiming, someone, you're always either looking at yourself or the, or you're trying to look, you're just not looking in the right place. But you're right. When you're in person, there's no other option. Right. And even if you are looking them in the eye, you're looking at a screen. You're not looking at them in the eye. That's just like a screen version. There's a disconnect. I get into that
Starting point is 00:04:09 conversation with Emma a lot because obviously we're on the road a lot and she likes to FaceTime and I hate FaceTime. It's just not the same thing. And so she's like, oh, why don't you just, why don't we just hang out over FaceTime? I like hanging out with her in person. I just, FaceTime does not scratch the same it. I'm not a FaceTime guy. Either Colt knows huge FaceTime, especially after a few cocktails guy. Huge FaceTime guy. Just well of his face.
Starting point is 00:04:32 He actually told me a great story this last weekend of somebody, a big name whose phone number he got, and they were having a good time, and the person gave him his phone number, Colt goes to him. Just so you know, if you continue to give me your phone number, I'm going to drunk FaceTime you. He's like, I want you to know before he finished.
Starting point is 00:04:49 The guy was like, I'm cool with that. I was like, all right, he just drugs FaceTime. I'm not a big FaceTime guy. Another interesting thing on Rogan that he talks about is having headphones on all the time. Yeah. Whenever he interviews people so that everybody, if you can hear your own voice and the other persons, that you don't then jump higher. But everybody's natural inclination is to talk over people.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And therefore, if you can't actually even hear your own voice, you just start speaking louder and louder. That's a disaster. So I've always found that interesting. Yeah. No, it's a strange world we're living in. But that is what it is. You know that we've been part of the Chevy EV family, but we have big news.
Starting point is 00:05:28 The first ever all electric Silverado is the official bar stool most valuable truck. We got a chance to see this thing and experience it and it is a game changer. We absolutely love Chevy. The Silverado is just such an iconic, iconic truck. I got my little bum inside of Silverado when I went to the Chevy EV dealership. And let me tell you something. Spaceship. Absolute spaceship.
Starting point is 00:05:53 It's a big boy, too. you're looking outside of that, that window. What is it? Windshield. Windshield? You look outside of that windshield. The front window.
Starting point is 00:06:06 And you're like, this thing's a boat. But then it just like moves so smoothly and it's so quiet. But the inside, the infotainment systems, I don't know if you can find a better interior than these new Chevy EVs. They are beautiful. Well, and I think for the longest time, people thought electric vehicles were just going to be these little, these little cars that just kind of zip around town and that was all they were ever going to be.
Starting point is 00:06:28 They're now Chevy Silveradoes. I got some muscle. Yeah. This is a muscle, a mussely car. These are men cars who now they're just EVs. Available, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. 400 mile range GM estimated on a full charge, which is just simply preposterous for an electric
Starting point is 00:06:45 vehicle, large 17 inch diagonal display screen, which I just talked about. Zero to 60 and under 4.5 seconds with wow mode and up to an impressive. of 785 foot pounds of torque. You got to head over to Chevy.com to learn more. Click on all the trims, click on all the options, make your perfect Silverado on that website right now, and I'm telling you, you will not regret it. It's a great website to go on to just dream about a new car,
Starting point is 00:07:12 to just look for a new car. Chevy.com, go over there right now to learn more. Thank you very much to our dear friends at Chevy. I want to hear, before we get into some golf talk, There was kind of chaos yesterday at Colonial. There's some Phil versus Brandel stuff going on. There's some golf rounds that we played. There's a wild story on the NCAA.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Somebody impaled themselves on a golf tee. But I want to hear about Taylor Swift. And I believe Frank Borrelli, you know, it's funny observing through the internet as Taylor Swift moves throughout the country. And like the people that you follow in Nashville a couple weeks ago are like all the Nashville people are going and weighing in. clearly she made the rounds at MetLife in the tri-state area over the last weekend and everybody including Alex Bush who I thought Alex Bush turned into like a 13 year old teenage girl. It was crazy. I love it.
Starting point is 00:08:12 With his post, which I love to me. I love Taylor Swift. I want to go to Erez Tor. But it was incredible observing her clearly move up to the New York area and everybody weighing in and posts and all their stuff. But Frankie I saw even like some text that you sent to someone else that. They then put out about how great it was, but as a theatrical guy, one who gets into it, we got to hear about Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yeah, no, that was Fidelberg that I was talking to because he's like, how was it? It's really hard to describe because it doesn't matter if you like her or you don't. If you're there, you just get swept up in it because you have 100,000 people that are reacting in a way that you'll never, ever, ever see it again. Like there were moments where I actually were hitting people to my left and right being like, look to your left and right. And this is the last time until you're dead that you'll ever see this, ever. It will not be replicated.
Starting point is 00:09:03 It's impossible. Like, unless like aliens came down and and swooped our brains into some machine and like made us all start jumping up and down in like in synchronization. It would be it's impossible for someone, one person to galvanize that many people to lose their minds. It was it's like the Beatles on steroids. It's these videos that you've seen of people cry. and like Elvis and they're passing out.
Starting point is 00:09:28 That's what it was. There's a video I have of her singing love story and I'm panning right to left and it looks like it's a wave of water. And you're like, you're looking at each individual person and each one's doing their arms. You're like, how is a hundred thousand people doing that? Is that one person just standing still?
Starting point is 00:09:45 It's crazy. So you get swept up in it. Like every word she says when she starts a new song, place fucking erupts. Like legit like fireworks go. up when she plays the first beat of a song. It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. And I know everything I do is the biggest thing in the world and everything is the greatest thing of all the time. Everyone always tweets at me. Tweets that at me. But this genuinely, I think, has to be the best live performance I'll ever see.
Starting point is 00:10:14 It has to be. She puts the most money into it. She's an amazing performer. She also had a 44 songs. She might have 35 songs that you're like, holy fuck, that's like the most popular song ever. you're just like i can't believe that's another one of her songs it's crazy so yeah it blew me away man it fucking blew me away i thought that was the i listened i watched dave's video uh you know reaction after the constitute and he his point was like yeah she could be a great performer she could have amazing songs all that but the fact that the whole crowd is just one million percent into every moment of the show he said just makes it unlike anything else because stadium shows can be disconnected because it's not intimate whatever but that was a great point of like taylor
Starting point is 00:10:57 taylor swift her like her songs are just a combination of of deep of revealing but also of like you kind of just move a little bit like sing along and you know the words and they're catching and they're perfect for a concert they're perfect uh unreal unreal i want to go i got like i would say you have to go that's how that's how insane it is i don't care what the price is at this point. It's that after leaving, I said, like we ended up, so shout out to our guy, Mike Mann, this guy is an absolute cartoon character of a human being, but he is just like one of the, one of the best people in my life that have come around in my life at this point. But he ended up getting us the suite at MetLife. And we invited Dave and Silvana. We had everyone. I had my
Starting point is 00:11:45 fiance. I had my future sister-in-law, brother-in-law. It was amazing. And I walked out of there being like, I think I would have paid. I think I would have paid for that. Like, you know what I mean like I actually think I would have paid for that ticket because the tickets are insane tickets are $4,000 just a fucking hilarious way of like stating how much you enjoyed the concert yeah right right because the tickets are insane I would have paid for such an asshole way to yeah there there that were like yeah no we we did pay before it it was great but there's a lot of people that probably couldn't go because like I don't know that pre show I would have been like yeah I'm going to pay $4,000 to go to that you know what I mean like I don't know what I'm going to what you're
Starting point is 00:12:29 saying for sure like it was yeah we were lucky you're not like you're not like you like you like like you like you like you like you like you like dude I don't even 4,000 I'd have to sit down think about spending $4,000 on an Islander's ticket I'd have to really really sit there and be like right but like I'd really have to have conversations about like you understand that instead of getting like a new backyard pergola we're going to a one a three three hour game, right? Like, you understand like this is a fucking purchase right now. I'm with you. Tickets. We're going for 10 grand maybe. Like this is a fucking purchase. And yeah. So I mean, it was, it was insane. We had less sweet with like food and drinks. It was,
Starting point is 00:13:04 I don't know what that thing was worth. Who knows? Your, I believe your description because I've seen like people talk about it. Everybody's like, this is the best tour that anyone has ever seen. It does solidify my opinion that concert videos that people take are utterly pointless. I think people I'm going to sound old when I say it, but people should stop doing that. because first of all, the videos are horrible. You just describe the greatest concert experience of all time. You're saying this is the greatest performer ever. She galvanizes a fan base.
Starting point is 00:13:30 She's got 150,000 people singing every word. And I've seen videos from that concert. And I'm like, it looks like any other concert. So it's, like, don't. It's no, I'm not, I'm saying the in person experience is so much better. And when you try to transfer it, it's almost a little bit like we're talking about with the in person versus zoom podcast where the disconnect is just, like, it's not even worth putting on your phone in my opinion. Like just be there.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Just experience it. Totally. Have the best time ever when you're sitting there watching your favorite artist perform as opposed to I'm going to look at this because some people watch it through the screen that they're recording. And that's insane. Like that video, you're not, even if you put on your sister story, it's going to be alive for 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:14:14 People who watch it are like, oh, that just looks like any other concert video I've ever seen. So just, you know why they sound like I'm 150 years old. But I'm just saying, just enjoy the concert. They're not posting it to show you like how like, it's not like a cinematography type thing where they're like trying to show you amazing views of like Taylor Swift. They're just saying like I'm at Taylor Swift right now. You should be jealous.
Starting point is 00:14:33 That's all social media is. I don't love that motivation either. I think there's a degree of like this is such a cool experience. I have to capture this and repurpose it for people. Yeah, but the posting aspect is like I'm at Taylor Swift. Right. Isn't that like 99% of our culture? Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yeah. But I think that there's. Like they could just post a picture of it and be like to look close. But people post video after video after video after video after video of every song. I think they do that because they're and I don't blame them. I've been there too where you're like it's almost like when you try to take a picture at night of like the moon when the moon is popping and you look and it just looks like a white dot on your phone. And you're like that doesn't really capture. It's kind of this like it was almost like this romantic beautiful view.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And this is just a white dot. You know everybody who's been to a concert has done it. Briggs is saying. And then in concert experience is I love it. I love going to concerts. And it's that feeling of when you're there. There's just no way you're going to capture that in a video. It's impossible. You just for whatever reason they don't, it doesn't feel like the way that it feels when you're there. I think like Frankie, you're better at this than we are of like when you take pictures when you play golf courses and you share like five, six, 10 of them. The best. I think you're, you're really good at that.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I thought you're genuinely trying to be like, I want people to see how you. beautiful this is. This is amazing out of here. Yeah. Um, the only videos that I, come across better. Yeah, yeah, for sure. The only videos that I was super excited to see from the Taylor Swift concert were the Kelly Kiggs videos. Her balling. Her just, her having a full on religious experience. Those showed the difference. What's that? Those showed the difference. Well, because it was on her. Yeah. The videos were her. The one video is the one that Fran took where it was just you're looking at Kelly Kiggs just bawling. Like that's, that's, that's, that's, almost gives me more of what the experience is like than seeing her perform blank spaces or whatever
Starting point is 00:16:25 when I can barely even see her on that stage. Yeah. Yeah, the shots of like the actual stage are zero. I had the one video I should have put it up of that crowd. And you like it's, it's a zoom in from right to left of the turn of the bowl at MetLife. And it's a, I've sent it to like my buddies and they're like, it's an oh shit like like that it could be on on a major Instagram account and people would be like that's one the craziest things there. It's it's that crazy. It looks like a way. of people. See, that's a, that's a video I would look at it and enjoy.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah. So I don't know. It's fucking crazy. It's Taylor. If you would have asked me two months ago, if I would have been that, if I even would have went to Taylor Swift, I probably would have said no.
Starting point is 00:17:03 I like Taylor Swift a lot, but I never would have imagined being there and getting that swept up in it ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, would have imagined that. She's also one of those artists where the people who don't like Taylor Swift, like I just know the hits.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I mean, she's great. The music that I hear from her is great, but I don't know the deep cuts on folklore. like I don't know those things. But the people who just outwardly and fully are like Taylor Swift sucks, it's like that doesn't make any sense. You're disagreeing with just a mass amount of people, the majority of people, really. And those people, I just don't understand those people. They're interesting.
Starting point is 00:17:37 It is, uh, yeah. I mean, as Finalberg says, it is a white crowd. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, sure. It's a rich, it's a very rich white, like female crowd. That's what it. I mean, out of a hundred thousand people. There may have been 98,000 females there. It was something.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Oh, it has to be. It was a sight to behold. I mean, I mean, you're looking around. You're like, what? You'll never see this again either. You'll never see this again. I mean, she is a, she could. I mean, Fidelberg just says all the right things all the time.
Starting point is 00:18:06 But I mean, she could become president. There's no doubt about it. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. There's a certain level of fame now. And she is at the top of it where if you're that famous, you could just become president. So who do you think is, I think you talked about this. No, I think we talked about this.
Starting point is 00:18:20 when we golfed, we'll talk about this also. We golfed with the two of our winners in the Black Friday event that we had. These guys are great. And at one point, someone said, is she, I think we still talked about this there? Is she like the biggest singer of the generation? She's the biggest star of this generation, right? Well, yeah, yeah, we did talk about it. The conversation was between her and Kanye.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah. I actually brought this up to Dave, I think. Beyonce is a good one. So me, Dave and Savannah said it was Taylor Swift, Kanye, and Beyonce, just because of just like knowingness. Should probably put Rihanna on that list too. But I don't think anyone elicits the reaction from their fans that Taylor Swift does. But dude, Kanye sold out like Soldier Field four nights in a row and he was just like thinking
Starting point is 00:19:02 about music. Kanye West hates Jewish people. So he's kind of, he's kind of out of this conversation as far as on consumer. We're talking about. Right. And I agree. The thing that he's said is outrageous and he's a piece of shit. But you got, if you're talking about just in the context of the conversation, like,
Starting point is 00:19:19 I think Taylor Swift is big. I think he's, I think he's, I think wins. But Kanye with all of his, all of the shit that he's done and how bad of a person he's turned into, that also makes you go up in the ranks of like people knowing you as unfortunately, for probably most of the wrong reasons.
Starting point is 00:19:35 But Kanye was in the news for like three straight years at this point. I mean, the guy's nonstop. He like ran for president. I remember, but I think it's still Taylor. I think it's Taylor Swift. Do they add a conversation I remember on?
Starting point is 00:19:49 BFFs. This was forever ago, but they were talking about Drake and Taylor Swift in terms of how much music they sell or that people listen to. Drake is definitely up there. Drake's up there. But the difference, one of the big differences was that Taylor puts her records on vinyl and people buy the shit out of them. And I don't think Drake does that. She sold like five million records on vinyl and Drake sold like 10,000. So there's people, her numbers go way up because people are just willing to buy her music in whatever form that she puts it out. out. The merchandise. Of course, the streaming numbers, of course, are just through the root. So it's all an interesting conversation. The merchandise is out of this world when you see the lines at these stadium tour shows. You can't even fathom the lines at this place. If there's 100,000 people, there's 80,000 online in the first two hours. They're all just trying to get one little piece of merchandise. And they're all $60 hoodies. They're all, she released a taping, a retaping of one of her CDs, like mid.
Starting point is 00:20:49 night that she is only selling on that Friday at MetLife. You had to see the lines to get into these fucking stores to try and get that to try and get that CD. It was, I mean, it was crazy. So I, dude, I think she's going to make, they're, they're anticipating her to make $600 million to a billion dollars based off of like merchandise revenue, uh, off this tour. She's going to make 600. No, no, no, no, just based on like how much she ends up pushing. But they're estimated between, because of the ticket sales and because of all that. From the tour in total.
Starting point is 00:21:20 If they estimate that she sells like $200 worth of a ticket, even though they're being resold for $4,000,000, she's going to make like $600 million to a billion. I mean, she deserves it from what I'm seeing. She's got a loyal fan base that is massive. By the way, she's already worth half a hour. She's already worth half a billy. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:38 No, she's going to be fine. Overall, she's going to be all right. Last thing I'll say about this is do you guys, and I tried to make this point, how, isn't it kind of like selfless? And this is like a huge just like, I'm a Taylor Swift fan now, but when you get that big and your whole year and a year and a half is devoted to just putting on a show for the fans like that, it's kind of like selfless where almost I wouldn't want to do it. Like when I watch what she has to do, she puts on three shows for three and a half hours, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Starting point is 00:22:09 She has to go to the next city right after that and prepare for the next show. And you're doing that for legitimately a year straight. You're going all over the country, all over the world. you can't even step outside without people wanting to like put a bag over you and like fucking take you home. It's like crazy. She's the biggest star in the world right now. And it just makes me think like her whole year's gone. It's just the same songs, the same stadiums, the same outfits.
Starting point is 00:22:33 She goes out to the same spot on the stage for a year. I mean, she's going to go international. Isn't that it's like selfless at some point where you're just like you have one life to live and you're just giving up a year of it to just like give everyone what they want. I'm not saying it's easy. I'm not saying that. I'm no, I'm definitely not saying that. But I am saying if there's $600 million to a billion at the end of it, I'm going to be, I'll be selfless for a year. But she's already worth the half a billion though.
Starting point is 00:22:55 So it's like I could have just. You can always want more. Look, I mean, we've done. She probably loves it. We've done like two live shows ever and it's stressful. And like you're trying to plan. She does hundreds or whatever it is a year. And I get that they're pretty similar some.
Starting point is 00:23:09 But she's got new special guests come out each time. A little bit of a new special songs. You're in a different state of your different stuff. There's preparation, preparation. preparation preparation that goes in you got to make sure you don't mess it up fly to another spot we go to classics all throughout the year going to a classic versus like what she does every night is laughable and even we get like where we're traveling run down you get run down right burn out whatever fuck you want to call it so for her to be doing that i agree with you it's it's it's outrageous and but that's why
Starting point is 00:23:38 you're an absolute megastar and i would assume the energy levels are it gets her you know probably what keep her going is when you fucking roll out there and there's a hundred thousand people going bananas for you crying over you being out there like imagine that pumps some adrenaline and energy that helps you get through it but there's no doubt about it she's got to be run down like a mother and you have to say healthy voice all that you have to stay perfectly healthy you can't fuck up so she's got to be having like doctors with her and IV bags and i mean vocal cord coaches and shit it's just got to be overwhelming it has to be overwhelming it has to be overwhelming. Funny to think like all the nine to five stuff that people do and that's just what she does.
Starting point is 00:24:19 She's got the voice coaches. She's like choreographing what the next show is going to look like. She's got this like just all day every day. I guess like do they don't have a bus or anything, right? They just fly everywhere. I mean, I saw like the most tour trucks I've ever seen in my entire life outside of that place because yeah, that's not that posture. But she definitely, I mean, she has some sort of bus out of there. And then after this tour, he's got to be flying. She's got to be like blinking and then showing up somewhere with all the money she's made. She probably teleports. Yeah. That'd be my guess.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Aaron Rogers and Miles Teller were like there the last two nights. I mean, Aaron Rogers has gone to like four shows already. Aaron Rogers is feeling himself in New York. He's like courtside at the Knicks. He's really making the rounds. Yeah. You do in New York. You got to be able to just embrace it.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah. Taylor Swift. I got to get, I've been looking at dates and trying to figure out how I could get to one of these things. If you don't have a mic man, you got to pay for it. You just got to go, dude. You have to go. I'm not have no issues. I think that's, that might be the greatest tagline for any concert every show so good, I would have paid for it.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Yeah. Because I wasn't a Swift fan. That's the only one, right? Like you get invited to something. You're like, yeah, I'll go to that. That's actually interesting. There should be like a section reserved for people who aren't a fan of the person performing to see if they can flip them. You got to get your toe wet.
Starting point is 00:25:36 You got to see what the temperature is. Like if I were, if I were Taylor Swift, I would take a hundred and five. 50 seats and I'd be like, these are reserved for people who hate me, who don't like or aren't really that aware of my music, but for some reason, don't like me. Fill those seats and see if you can change their mind. I hope that I've done her justice on this show because I feel like people are going to be mad that I said I wasn't the biggest fan going in. I just like, I wasn't even thinking about going to that tour because it's just like,
Starting point is 00:26:02 I'm not, I'm seeing these prices. I'm like, I'm not whatever. And then you get lucky enough to get invited and you're like, I'm absolutely going because I have to witness this. And then you leave being like, yep, that was worth it. I can see why everyone did that. I can see why it's what it is. So yeah, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Social media has swayed me over the last couple months. I might go again. I might go again. I might go somewhere else. She's playing in L.A. for five nights. Isn't that crazy? I think it's like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday or something like that. It's fucking nuts in a row.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Don't get the sniffles. Don't go. Don't go. Don't get the sniffles. She's selling out SoFi Stadium five times to end the tour in the U.S. And then she's going wherever. Jesus Christ. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Alex Bush, I want to hear from Alex Bush, because he, again, I mean, his, his posts about it where if, if you thought Frankie was pretty emotional about this thing, this Alex Bush reaction, you crash, man, you there? Yeah, I mean, I'm just, I'm just ridiculous. But I mean, I agree with everything Frankie said. And it's actually kind of crazy to see from him. Because I've been, I've been in big fans. It's probably like middle school and I've never seen her. So it's kind of, it was kind of just like crazy for us to, to see it in person. It's like, seeing. someone that you're like, oh shit, she actually like exists and is like performing in front of you and you like the era's tour is different than everything else too because it's like you go through all these different, she goes through every single era for pretty much her discography and it's like different parts of your life that it brings you back to if you've been a fan for a while. So yeah, it's kind of crazy. But I mean.
Starting point is 00:27:34 I'll try my whole life, but nothing will ever beat that night. The best one is I am deceased. I am deceased. I was deceased. I literally was. East. That was a good one too. That was a really good one. God damn.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I love it. I'm just like, I'm nine months older than Taylor Swift. She's 33. Yeah, 19. Yeah, Kelly Kiggs,
Starting point is 00:27:54 one of her good points that, I mean, she was like, Taylor Swift is one year older than I am. And she's like every phase of my life, every time she's released the new album, it is like spoken to a part of my life or whatever resonated with what I was going through at that time.
Starting point is 00:28:08 So I literally have like lived my life through her music. Oh, yeah. Bush just said that of like of the fact that, you know, it brings you back to, you know, whatever it was, even if an album from 10 years ago, you remember that point in your life as those songs are being played. I mean, that's just a hell of an experience. I mean, Kelly Keegg is like number one of who she's speaking to, like relationship problems,
Starting point is 00:28:28 living in New York City, like being like a badass bitch that's like making it on your own. Like Kelly Keegs is literally like Taylor Swift is speaking to Kelly. Like that's who she, that's who her person is. like talking about being strong and all like that is kelly that's fucking Kelly kegs i'm so happy as she went because there was there was talk about there being maybe like an extra ticket in that suite and we were like and dave was like we got like kelly's the girl like at the before that we knew that she had tickets it was like that's the person that we have to get in like regardless so the shout to dave for like making sure that that was she was always going to go regardless
Starting point is 00:29:06 you know what i mean like she was getting to that show i want to give in my seat for sure i don't have I don't have an artist that has followed me throughout my whole life. Most artists don't have careers like that. Most artists are, they're popular for five, six years if they're lucky. But I don't have anybody like that. The closest would be Drake.
Starting point is 00:29:23 I've been listening to Drake for 15 years. But other than that, I don't have an artist that has followed me throughout my whole life. That's pretty interesting. Probably a band out there you're not thinking about. But like for me. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Like Kelly is Kelly's Taylor. Oh, yeah. An artist that I like. Yeah, I'm sure there's bands that have been around my whole life, but I'm saying, yeah, for me, personally. If like Tyler Childers keeps going for the next, like, 20 years, you'll remember all the fuck in albums. It's just too early. Maybe you start now.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Start now. Game Time is the exclusive ticketing partner of Barstool Sports created by fans for fans. Game Time is the 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 price. We talk a lot, and I'm sure this is coming after we talk a decent amount about Taylor Swift and going to concerts and seeing live events. You just have to do it. It's a part of life that it's one of the greatest parts of life that we have is seeing live events.
Starting point is 00:30:30 It's just it's the thing to do. And without it, life would be very, very boring. Yeah, I mean, we all spend an absurd amount of time on our phones. So it's a really, really nice antidote to go and watch something happen in front of you with your own two eyes and share it with friends. It's, uh, you never regret it. never regret going to see a live performance. Concerts are a magical experience.
Starting point is 00:30:48 We do talk a lot about it on this show, but it's, it's a feeling you can't get anywhere else. You can listen to music in your car. You can listen to music while you're around the apartment or whatever, but there's nothing like going to see your favorite artists. And game time makes that incredibly simple. Summer concerts are just that much more fun. They're outside.
Starting point is 00:31:05 You feel comfortable. You got less clothing on. Everyone around you has less clothing. It's just a great. It's just like a, everyone's just fucking feeling good. It reminds you like woodstock. or something. I want to go,
Starting point is 00:31:17 now that I'm out of Long Island, I want to go to Jones Beach for a concert at some point this summer. Jones Beach is one of the greatest amphitheaters in the world. When you go to Red Rocks in Colorado, they actually have a, like a little museum there
Starting point is 00:31:30 about what Red Rocks is and the amphitheater and like the history of the amphitheater and it goes all the way back to like whatever, all the history of it. But they have a picture of Jones Beach saying that it's like one of the greatest ones in the world.
Starting point is 00:31:41 I don't know if it has to do with like the capacity or something, but it's fucking, it's incredible. So go on game time, get your tickets to Jones Beach, Amphitheater, and all the other games. Baseball is in full swing, obviously, right now. I need to get to a baseball game so bad. I want to go to a Yankee game so badly.

The Charles Schwab, course played tough down at the Colonial. historic track, more history than you can imagine. Eight under won the tournament, which is wild. I remember the hall guy who, what an interesting cat, that guy is he was 12 under through two rounds of golf, I believe, and the winning score finished being eight under. So you never fucking know out there.
Starting point is 00:33:06 A lot of times. That probably looked like, oh, yeah, you're going to have to be 15, 16 under to win this thing. Nope. Eight under got into a playoff. There was a double bogey finish where Grillo hit his ball right, goes into the canal. water picks it up and takes it 150 yards away from where it actually originally entered. He ends up making double, goes into the playoff. Wins on the second playoff hole, I believe it was, with like a five-foot purdy putt.
Starting point is 00:33:30 So nice to see him get the win anyways. But kind of a wild finish for a historic venue. Scotty Schauffel was up there again, finished one stroke back. He's just been putting awful. I don't know if the stats back that up. I'm sure that they do. They do. He's been just putting awful.
Starting point is 00:33:46 year. He's been gained in three, four strokes, a tournament with the ball striking or around, maybe, tournament around, a lot. And still, not really able to break through and win as much as he would like to be because his putting's been hurting him so much. But he was right there. I saw Ricky Fowler, I think was only a few shots back. He finished inside the top five or ten. So interesting week, crazy finish. Kind of tough for probably a lot of people to be paying attention to golf a week after a major championship, plus Memorial day weekend, but if you were, some chaos down the stretch. Yeah, they're blowing up the golf, they're redoing the golf course.
Starting point is 00:34:24 So when that happens, when they're doing it like the Monday after, the Greenskeeper kind of lets things go. And those greens were like almost purple yesterday. They were so, they were so firm. Yeah, Scotty Sheffler, so he finished one shot back for the week and he lost four and a half putting. So if he puts, so if he puts average, he wins by three. Yeah, he was first and off the T, fourth and strokes game approach.
Starting point is 00:34:46 that's got to be a maddening, a maddening pattern, a maddening way to play golf. I feel like you just have all these butts and you should be winning the tournaments and you're not. We've seen those clips of him getting mad at his putt. Yeah, he gets, he gets fiery with the putting. Remember there's that clip where his coach, Rainey Smith, I don't remember it was before the masters or before the players or something. And he's standing over and his coach is like trying to, he's like, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Why aren't they going in?
Starting point is 00:35:09 He's got a little fire underneath him. But yeah, no, hitting the ball at just a ridiculous level. And nice to see Griot got another win. first one in like almost 10 years or something. Yeah, yeah, I think seven and a half years it was in between wins. I like that in between the while they're waiting for the playoff, I think he invited like a couple of young kids to come out and hit shots. So he was staying loose even after the double buggy and the whole deal.
Starting point is 00:35:29 So very nice to see who's clearly like emotional after coming back from seven and a half years. So that stuff's always fantastic. But the Scotty stuff, we were talking about how bad he putted. He shot 67, 67, 72, 67. And it was clearly a difficult golf course. So it's amazing how well he's setting the golf ball. that he could be yelling at people and freaking out and upset with his coach. And he's not yelling people, but clearly upset, more upset, more fiery than he usually is.
Starting point is 00:35:54 And he's shooting fucking 67s and finish one shot back. So he's going to be a serious problem once he figures his putting out. We saw him, we tell a story for like four hours trying to figure out his putting at the rider a couple of years ago. And then he went out that week, had an amazing week, took down John Rom, which was sort of a precursor to him becoming number one in the world, the master's the following spring and all that. But Ricky Fowler I saw finished he six. So that's something to keep note of. He was five under, so only three shots back.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Max home up there in the top 10. He finished tied for fourth. But that Ricky, the Ricky thing, man, I, you got to just think that in the same way that we talk about certain sports teams to get the game is better when that team's good. If Ricky Fowler is good again, Ricky Fowler comes charging back again, that's just phenomenal. for everybody and he's sneaky and having i believe dan a phenomenal year isn't he great year a lot of top tens he's back i saw he qualified for the british open yesterday he's back inside the top 50 been sort of creeping up he hasn't really like been that close to winning he hasn't really like had a chance with three holes down the stretch but it's coming i mean you keep on knocking on the door it's coming
Starting point is 00:37:01 so it's yeah it's it's it's nice to see him back for sure it was pretty dark there for a little while go back to butch harmon and things things got got markedly better i'll believe it when i see it that Charles Barker where he was talking about the college basketball team goes, them boys are coming. Them young boys are coming. And Shaq goes, yeah. Yeah. Like, what? I think Charles and Shaq just say things to each other
Starting point is 00:37:22 make each other laugh. And Charles at one point he just goes, them boys, them boys are coming. And Shaq just fucking goes, he couldn't hold that laugh for the next two straight minutes. Do we want to do a Michael Block update? Well, yeah,
Starting point is 00:37:39 but first we have to do something even better which is for the cut has hit three in a row three in a row three in a row we are mellowing our ass to the next one are you kidding me right now this three in a row every tweet at us like horrible odds why would I do this you guys are ice cold three in a row we pick four golfers to make the cut in three different events in a row and we've hit every single one of them if you're not on this train what are you doing we're hot we're hot it's like you're hot we're hot again we won't move over When you see the colors and you're like, oh, it's got to go. It's got to go black. No, you just roll with it. How to get from one to three? You're hot.
Starting point is 00:38:18 It's going to go from three to five. It's going to go from five to seven. It's usually, you have to be a part of the ride. You know what I mean? You can't just watch. This is insane. I couldn't agree more.
Starting point is 00:38:28 We're on a roll. Feels good. Feels real good. Now we're hot. Now we're hot like the sun. Oh my God. We're hot again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:36 So red hot at the beginning of the year. We're hitting plus 925. We're streaking. shit we're streaky we are so get on get involved now because who knows it's like you got it right didn't the ice age get really cold and then like absurdly hot too at the end of it I don't know sure that sounds right yeah we got to go uh all right we got to pick we got to pick our from our uh for the cut again we got to get this thing we got to get this thing going uh have folks looked no no well the best part of for the cut is we kind of just like throw something at the wall and see if it's stick so
Starting point is 00:39:09 I'm fine to just go right off the top of the dome here. Once I get this pulled up on the Barcelona sports book, I'm fine with that. Memorial, right? Yeah, Memorial. Memorial. I'm going for a few days. Milkshakes, the whole deal.
Starting point is 00:39:22 You're going? I'm going for a few days. I'm going to go Tuesday, Wednesday. That's great. And Rapport's going, which is nice. I'm, okay, okay, okay. I'm going to go. I'm trying, okay, once again,
Starting point is 00:39:35 I'm trying to go with somebody. I'm trying to give the folks the highest, God's possible. Well, obviously making the cut. That's what we're trying to do here. I'm going to go Brendan Todd. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:47 To make the cut. Davis Riley. Okay. Oh, boy. What was last week like 260? I think it was like 250. Two weeks in a row of like 250. But the week before I think was in the five.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Those two names are going to be healthy. That's going to be a healthy number, I think. Yeah. I agree. I agree. We're getting up there, which is good. Well, then I'm going to bring it back to Earth a little bit. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
Starting point is 00:40:07 I'm going to say Wyndham Clark. Oh, I'm going to bring the odds. We're just going to kind of even out a little bit. I'm going to say Jason Day. Wow. It feels like Florida. He's won the memorials.
Starting point is 00:40:17 He won the memorial before Dan? I feel like he has. That sounds right. He's definitely from there. No, actually, I don't think he has, but he's from there. That's why you're thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:40:24 That's why I'm thinking Columbus and the whole deal. Yeah. He's got that like sick backyard, doesn't he? Where he has got a full compound back there. See all kinds of good stuff back there. That's when you really know you made it when you have a compound. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:37 A full crack facility. Like Drake has a compound. Jason Day has a compound. I think Connor McGregor has a compound. Like if you, if it's not a house anymore, if you have a compound, you've done well for yourself.
Starting point is 00:40:48 DJ Khalid, I saw some videos, has like a golf compound in the back. I was looking at some videos the other day. It was like houses you won't believe. And I'm like, these aren't even houses, number one.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Number two, just makes you think like, how do they have that bunch of money? I put down like new pavers in my backyard and all my friends came down there. Like this, this is amazing. Look at this backyard.
Starting point is 00:41:06 And it's like 20 by 45. feet or something like that. You know what I mean? And I'm thinking about these compounds. And I'm looking at, I'm looking, I'm zooming in and looking at how many pavers they have from one, one area of the backyard to the other. And I'm like, even that right there is like, that's got to be a million dollars worth of concrete that they're putting down to go from one side to like the basketball court.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Like, I mean, how much money do they actually think about the planting? Think about the planting. You ever see some of these backyards? It's the maintenance cost. Just the maintenance cost. Just the maintenance. Yeah, maintenance is a, people always forget. Just to run the bathroom water.
Starting point is 00:41:41 It costs, all right, it costs $25 million to put all this stuff in. But then yearly to get, to make it look good every time, it's going to cost another $500,000 a year to make it look good. Taxes. These people, these folks have a lot of money. And you really realize when you travel the country like we do, how many people do have money? Yeah, there's so many big houses everywhere. I always have that reaction where I see a whole, a whole cliff of homes in Newport Beach. And I'm like, how are there that many people that can afford a house on a cliff like that?
Starting point is 00:42:09 you would think like not one person, I don't know one person and not one person that I know knows one person that owns any of those. So I just don't know who these people are. And then you go like anywhere in the country. And there's, there's like blow you away houses and money. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:42:25 how is there a whole town of this? How is there 10 towns? But whatever. And unfortunately on the other side, there's that much of the complete opposite. So it's fucking crazy when you travel. There's way more. There's way more that.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Way more. The complete opposite. Yeah. So it's a fucking crazy country living. But those, those compounds, man, they'll make you think. They really make you think. They make you sit back and kind of do that like. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I watched, I watched Caleb do an interview, Caleb Presley, about when he went and did the interview with Drake. And he said when we got to the house, the guy, I think he was Theo Vaughn who was talking to. Theo von was like, who opens the door when you knock? It's not Drake. Who opens that front door? And Caleb said they were, they didn't see Drake for, they were in the house for two hours.
Starting point is 00:43:08 and they didn't see him. He didn't emerge from one of the corners of the house until two hours into the visit. And that's a compound. I'd have to lock myself in a closet and you guys would have to call the police for you to not know if I'm in the house for two hours. You would have to search my apartment for four minutes
Starting point is 00:43:26 until you found me. I could hide in the best spot there is. There's just no spots. Here in the ceiling. We're just like he's up there. I'd come crashing through that thing. All right, for the cut. We got B. Todd, Davis, Riley.

This is, what was it, four or five years ago where they were ripping up the golf course while people
Starting point is 00:45:53 were playing the back nine. They were ripping up the front nine. Such a jack move. It's just unnecessary. You just wait until the next day. It's not going to be a problem. But Memorial, tough,
Starting point is 00:46:03 sweet course, really sweet course. A lot of, this is one of those two where you just remember, you remember a lot of the holes when they cut back to the coverage. You've seen all these holes.
Starting point is 00:46:13 This is one Tiger Woods obviously always played. Whenever Tiger Woods would always play an event. You especially remember it because every time he played, we watch. So yeah, you just kind of remember it. You kind of get familiarized with it. It's almost like the players in that way, where it's just nice, they go back to a big tournament that's got Jack, it's got the name recognition. It's got, it's always had a lot of gravity to it, it feels like, and you kind of know the holes and know the closing stretch or where guys need to be able to make birdie and the whole deal.
Starting point is 00:46:40 So they had Memorial 2 or Mirfield a couple of years ago, or COVID. year when they had back-to-back tournaments here, didn't they? Yeah, workday, workday and Memorial. I remember that, Collmorecala hit the one on 16 again. That's that. That's right. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:46:56 16. Par four. That every drove the green. 16's the par three, I think. It might be 15 somewhere in the back nine. Was that one of the tournaments where Morcao lipped out an easy one and no, what am I? No, that was colonial, but he almost did. He had like a three-footer to get into the playoff.
Starting point is 00:47:13 It was like a month later and it like rimmed in. it was like very close to missing. Yeah. No, that's the one. He made the pot. J.T. made a pot and then he made the pot on top of him. And there was no one there.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Oh, yeah. You remember that? It was like a long one. Yeah. They made bombs. That's right. Yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I was there. I remember that. Wow. And there were no fans. None. No. No. That was when I got my big break.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I got my big break. That sounds like really dushy. But I remember it was in 2020 and there was no one was willing to go to tournaments because everyone was so afraid of COVID. And I was like, am 25. I don't have a family. Like I will go to every single one. And I went to like every, I think I went to like 20 tournaments that year. Wow. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I grinded. That's what that's when I started like doing the tour stuff. Like really, really being on. That's got to be a really interesting.
Starting point is 00:47:59 That's an interesting experience that almost no one else has. Yeah, it was I was traveling that summer of 2020. I was traveling nonstop. And there was no one ever in the airplanes. There was no one. It was very strange, but it was great for my career. So it was good. That's really interesting. I remember going to a few majors that year. I went to the Harding Park one. That was weird as shit. I remember Saturday morning's round. Tiger like barely made the cut or whatever. So he was off relatively early on Saturday morning. And I remember just like I watched Tiger Woods play a major championship round on Saturday
Starting point is 00:48:30 with Robbie Mac and like four other people watching. And it was fucking wild. That one was that one there was no one there because it was California. So they were like extra strict. There was no one there. I mean. I'm talking less than 10 people watching Tiger Woods play a champ. Major championship route on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:48:50 It was fucking so weird. Remember we did the podcast where I had the... You were walking around. One AirPod in and we were walking and talking to Joey a little bit. We're trying to get you. We're trying to get like a little bit of voice from Tiger Woods to say that Tiger Woods was on the show. Yeah. Didn't end up working.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Anyways, Memorial this week. It'll be fun. Amazing tournament. And then there were only two weeks away from the U.S. Open, really, which is fucking nuts. So yeah, we got this, then what? RBC? Is the Canadian open the following week? It's my wedding.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I think so, yeah. I think it is. I'm getting married in 12 days. Wow. Oh, wow. Days. Yeah. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:49:30 What? I got to see if I can fit into a soup. How much have you done? Like, how much have you done? Almost nothing. Almost nothing. Yeah. Very, very late.
Starting point is 00:49:37 I learned, I learned at the, very early in the process that I might have opinions. I might have opinions on things, but they're not nearly as strong. as long as the other people's opinions. And it's just not worth the fight. The biggest thing I have to do is go on black tucks.com and just like make sure that my guys were had like a link to go on the black tucks and get their tucks because I was very late to do that. I'm going to these weddings and I got to figure out if my suit fits because I don't know sure
Starting point is 00:50:01 that exactly. A year, it's fit a year ago, but I was slimmer a year ago. I went to my buddy's wedding in Denver. Same suit. I like literally after this podcast, I got to try that thing on.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Trent Daddy might be going like, a little modern no tie like showing a little chest just because he can't get it around to fucking dude. You know big threat with incredible fashion. You can be modern.
Starting point is 00:50:24 I got to get that figured out now because we're on the road for the next like two weeks and then it's like wedding season. Dude, we also got to talk about the block party. I did cut you up before, but we got to talk about the block party before we get to anything else.
Starting point is 00:50:34 So the block party real quick as a as a little recap. The block party obviously has ended. Stock was never really higher than Sunday afternoon. Monday he was on this show
Starting point is 00:50:45 then he sort of he gets to Colonial he's doing everything which is fine he does the menary show a couple quotes go a little viral that people didn't love as much he had the probably the biggest one was him basically saying if he had crazy length if he had
Starting point is 00:51:01 Rory type length he believes he could be the best player in the world mere hours later it feels like there were just screenshots everywhere of him dead last shot 81 in the first round of the event. He ended up finishing, I believe, 15 over for the event after like a 74 in the second round, missed the cut by a million. And as quickly as the block party began, that shit was shut down.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yeah. I mean, what did you guys think about those quotes? Because I mean, we love the block party. We had him on. He was fantastic. But, you know, I'm a very opinionated person. I like to like and hate people with a burning passion. Are you about to say that you hate them? I started to feel the hate a little bit when I saw some of those clips, just the way he said them. If they were, if I read them in print, I probably would have been like, probably taken out of context. Like everyone should believe that they are the best golfer in the world. You should have that in you. That's why you're a competitor. That's why like you feel like you can beat anyone on any given day. I don't think that's a bad thing to say. It was the way that he said it like, like, like, like, menor he was like,
Starting point is 00:52:02 really? And he goes, oh, dude, like, without a doubt. Like, have you basically like, have you ever seen me hit a golf ball? And I was like, okay, all right, block party. Like, that's, that's, let's hope that breaks a little bit. You're really just taking away things from the guys who are the best player in the world, I feel like by saying that. Yeah. I think like anyone can do it if they just had a little bit of length. Like, what are you fucking talking about? It was a, it was a turnoff. But I, it didn't change my opinion of them because look, he's asked, right? He's being asked questions. He's not trained for this or used to this. And he's doing too much. He's doing all media, which he should be. Like, good for him. Why wouldn't you be out there getting he's got fucking agent.
Starting point is 00:52:38 He's signed and stuff. You're just when you do that much media. you're going to say stuff, you're going to say something, it's going to come off the wrong way. And to a degree, like, people got to realize, like, dude, the block party is just a worse professional golfer than the other guys that were used to watch. That's what he is. He's not like, he literally, he literally was hired like he's this, this club that he's at where there's, I believe, two rich owners. And they hired him to be their head pro so that he'll basically go around play golf in tournaments
Starting point is 00:53:10 and represent the club. He's not running the day to day at the club. That's why he said. He's like, yeah, I really give like a couple lessons a week. I'm sure he does some paper or some stuff. For sure, he does a little bit. But generally, he goes out, plays in tournaments, wins a lot of tournaments, has a good regular.
Starting point is 00:53:23 But he's a professional golfer who makes money playing golf a lot and is just worse at it than the other guys, which is cool that he had the showing at the PGA. That was like amazing because he is, by all accounts, not as good at this game as these other guys, even though they're doing a lot of the same stuff. And so for him to have that performance. said be the PGA guy in the PGA championship. All that was so cool. But he finished fucking 15th.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Like, and, you know, and yeah, he finished 15th of the PJs. It's not like he, he won the Masters. Like, he finished 15th of the PGA. That's, you know. Yeah. It kind of feels what Frankie was saying last week where everyone wanted to make him into this complete slub off the street who, who had a week where he somehow got like, you know, Michael Jordan superpowers like in Space Jam or something and you know he stole someone's powers.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It was like, no, you know, he's, he's a professional golfer who's been the Southern California PGA player of the year nine in the last 10 years. So obviously there's some there's some game there and there's some like playing background there. But, you know, it's kind of reminded me of a little bit of like the Rory McElroy arc where it's like this, this stuff will turn on you quick. You know, you, you're up there and you're talking, you're talking constantly and constantly and everyone's building you up and building you up and building you up. And then you say something where you cross over. And then people start to view everything you say through that negative lens.
Starting point is 00:54:47 And then it's just like a downward spiral. It's also just the nature of it's kind of what Rick said, where you're on camera way more now. You're talking way more now. And it loses its fairy tale movie quality. Like, because if when he makes a hole in one or when he gets up and down on 18 at the PJ Championship, if the movie ends, there, it's great. But you can't realistically expect someone to stop there. He's got this exemption
Starting point is 00:55:14 now. He's going to go. He's going to do more interviews. I get that. I understand why he's doing those things. But boy, you would have loved if it had stopped at the up and down on 18 because then you don't, you're not going to face as many cameras. You're not going to face as many microphones. And as you do, there's the chance that you're going to say something that people don't like. That's inevitable. Like you just said, Roy McElroyd does that. He's one of the biggest calls. He's one of the biggest stars in the world. and people turn on him. So it was always going to happen to Michael Block. He's just in a position where he's going to go out there,
Starting point is 00:55:43 finish dead last, and people are going to be like, we told you. And that's going to, that sucks. That sucks, but it is what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Yeah. You know, it's funny. Like we can. Oh. I saw plenty of screenshots over the last week, too, of Tygo was just taking huge dividends.
Starting point is 00:56:02 I was watching a video of like some, just on Instagram, like on my toilet. in the morning and I saw a beaver pelt this big and I'm like come on man like striking it while I don't take divvits why do you take divvits? That's just really one of the all time clips. Why do you take divvits?
Starting point is 00:56:25 Oh. Uh-huh. We didn't get any tweets from him post PGA, did we? Nothing. No, I don't think we got anything from Tiger. No. Has anyone heard anything about him? How's this recovery doing?
Starting point is 00:56:38 Is he walking yet? he's not going to congratulate Brooks, I guess. I think this surgery is like 12 weeks before you could put any weight on it from what I Wow. That's playing a lot of cod. Yeah, probably. Does he do that anymore? He's got to do.
Starting point is 00:56:51 He's talking a lot about how these these rehab parts are like the worst. Like pre rehab when you can't move like for a guy like that, that's that just committed and driven and wants to just be moving weights and fucking hitting balls without taking dividends and whatever for him just be sitting there for 12 months. This is like the worry period. I feel like. He's on comms right now in Cod. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:57:11 He's got to be keeping, he's moving his eyes. He's fucking getting his hand-eye coordination going with the fingers. He's doing something. He withdrew from the U.S. Open. I saw that. That's not good. Oh, yeah. He's going to withdraw from the open as well.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Spoiler alert. Damn it.
