We've got the entire squad.
It's myself.
It's Trent Daddy.
It's Frankie Borelli, the pizza maker and our guy Lurch.
How we're doing?
We got yet another call-in show.
This one, again, just delivers.
We just finished up recording a bunch of the calls.
We took, I don't know, 10 or so.
Maybe, yeah, somewhere around there, 10 calls.
We had a mix.
We did superintendents, which was did.
different than last time.
And then we also had probably half of the guys or a couple of the guys were caddies.
So we had a couple different stories.
You're going to love them.
You're going to love the stories.
We talked to people from Canada down to Savannah.
We had all kinds of good stuff.
So if you like the last show, which you did because it was one of the best shows you were ever done,
then you're going to love this one as well.
Supreme Golf, got to give a shout out to our guys at Supreme Golf.
They are the best.
They're the only tea time app you need.
So just go get Supreme Golf.
I don't have to tell you all the details because you already should know them.
But if you're not using them, I'm just calling you straight to your face, a stupid person.
I'm telling you right into your eardrums, you're dumb.
Go get Supreme Golf.
Go download the Supreme Golf app.
Go to their website, supremegolf.com.
They love us.
They support us.
They endorse us for the entire year.
They're sponsoring us for the entire year.
And they're the best T-time app.
So it's just a double whammy.
It's great.
It's perfect.
Go get them.
Steve Stricker.
We're going to go through a couple.
Actually, before I got there, I was scrolled down a little bit on my outline.
I wanted to plug a couple things.
What do you got to plug?
First, I would like to plug our merch.
Okay.
Go to store it up, BarcelonaSports.com.
There's a little Ford Play part.
We had all kinds of good stuff in there.
I don't know if people like, I know because we do such a hard push on it for all the holidays,
Christmas, Black Friday, all that good stuff, that it's kind of like died down a little bit.
Well, it's going to be springtime before you know it.
You're going to need all kinds of good golf stuff.
We got all the Peter Millar stuff in there.
We've got Roeback polos.
We've got Travis Matthew polos.
We've got head covers.
We've got putter grips.
We've got all kinds of good stuff in there.
So go check it out.
Also, that reminds me of our new logo.
Ooh.
Yep.
Our new logo, clean.
Sharp.
Is off the charts.
It's edgy.
It's crisp.
I can't believe how good it is.
It's round.
It's round, edgy, and crisp all in the same logo, which is impossible.
So timely.
Oh, it's so timely.
It's so timely.
It's so timely.
We updated with the times.
You know, it was a tough break for us that we came up with this cool logo a couple years ago.
The book good guy dropping a golf ball.
It's funny.
Most other places that all do golf try to do a beautiful silhouette of a guy swinging, great follow-through,
maybe a perfect back swing, all kinds of cool stuff.
Here we are.
It's good for the brand, like a representative of the brand.
We've got a guy dropping a golf ball because he hit one out of play.
It's very funny.
All that kind of stuff.
They just changed a fucking rule.
So it was just an illegal drop.
Our logo was illegal.
Which actually is almost like more our brand because, like, we're just not listening to the rules.
We've actually made it to think about that.
I'm just kidding.
No, the new one's sick.
You're right.
It was kind of funny, but we just kept getting chirped all the time about it.
And it's always nice to get a little change.
The USGA jumped into the mix, offered up a little Bryson doing it, kind of as a funny thing.
It was great.
So we kind of took that, turn it into our own official logo.
So that is the new silhouette is?
You know, it could be whoever you wanted to be.
Okay, all right.
You know, it might look a little bit like a certain situation.
You know, I don't know.
I mean, that's Bryson.
Yeah, maybe.
You don't know that, though.
I know what my eyeballs are telling me.
There could be multiple people wearing.
in that stupid hat.
It's like, okay.
Like him or paints a door.
You're calling it a stupid hat now that he's not here to bury you again.
It looks great in a silhouette.
It looks great in a silhouette.
Look at that.
Look at that logo.
Holy shit.
I mean, that's Bryson.
It's just a silhouette.
Could be anybody.
It could be anybody.
I hit the ball out of bounds all the time.
If you think it's a wedge, though, then it's pricing because it looks like driver
length.
It's price.
That's a good, that's a good call.
Wait, what did you say?
I said, if you think it's, he's holding a wedge.
then it's Bryson because it definitely looks like it's driver length.
I see.
Okay.
Slow on that take, but hey.
No, I didn't get it.
Also, I want to plug our YouTube page.
If you go on to YouTube, type in Foreplay Golf, go subscribe.
We're getting it.
We heard about this new thing.
YouTube.
YouTube.
So we're putting all our videos on there.
We've got the full Bubba Watson interview.
The entire video from the entire thing is on there.
All the different golf videos that we've done are on there.
They're all in one place, organized.
Nice.
You've got different categories.
All the video coverage, all the videos that we put out,
are all going to go onto that YouTube page.
So go on there and subscribe.
It's going to be the best place to get all your stuff.
YouTube, it's brand new.
You might have heard of it.
So, go check it out.
People probably haven't heard of it.
So this is the first time hearing you know.
If you haven't heard of it, it's...
Go on YouTube, type in Foreplay,
and then you're going to want to watch these videos.
There's a Numa Numa guy.
There's a double rainbow.
People always say I look like the Numa Numa guy.
You do look like the Numa Numa guy.
I do look like the Numa Numa guy.
You do look like the Numa Numa guy.
That's my, I have so many doppelgangers.
But when I first got this job and my face first got out there, it'd be like, oh, you hired the Numa Numa guy.
You are the Numa Numa guy.
Now everyone in this room is probably going to be looking up the Numa Numa guy, probably everyone listening.
And I know that I look like him.
Okay.
You have so many doppelgangers.
I have so many.
I had somebody sent me one the other day, I was slapping a base somewhere.
It looked like me with like a long hair disguise on.
No, you're Numa Numa.
All right, Numa, Numa.
You ready to move on here?
Fuck.
Yeah.
So those are my plugs.
I'm done with the plugs.
Now...
A lot of plugs.
Yeah, I wanted to plug some stuff.
I wrote a little couple notes down.
And then before we get into the callers, the caddies, the superintendent, all that good stuff.
Call her catty.
Very good.
A little topical.
Because of her.
And then he just like...
I gave the fistful better if he wants to.
Well, he just begged Trent to fistpapa so he felt better than this dumb...
Call her catty.
That was pathetic.
You just like anytime you have to literally fetch for a fist pump.
He was.
He was like, come on, let's do it.
Yeah, he grabbed your arm and made you fist pump him.
Still got that knuckle.
I want to go through a couple headlines.
First of all, Steve Stricker, 2020 Rider Cup captain.
It's at Whistling Straits, which is in Wisconsin.
Steve Stricker is from Wisconsin.
I think everybody can understand why they did that.
He's also been assistant captain.
And a lot of these teams, he played in three rider cups in a row, I think, from like 08 through 2012.
It doesn't have a great record.
3, 7, and 1.
Darn.
So some people were knocking that.
But this was kind of who people expected.
He's 52 years old, I think, at this point.
He's got 12 or 13 wins on tour.
Incredibly universally liked guy.
Steve Stricker.
Yeah.
Yeah, he dominates the John Deer Classic.
That's right.
He won there like a million times.
He won there three times in a row at one point.
Jesus.
Just crushes that thing.
Just loves the John Deer Classic.
Yeah, which makes me interms him.
He is Mr. John Deer Classic.
Well, you know, Zach.
Johnson maybe, but...
Has he won there?
Yes.
But not as many times
as Steve Stryger.
Damn it.
That's good point.
But...
Because he's from Iowa.
It makes sense.
Right.
It's close.
Okay.
I love your passion for the John Deer Classic.
It's a great tournament.
You know the history of it.
You know the winner.
I went there a couple years ago.
This was right...
This was years ago now and I followed Jim Renner around.
And I live tweeted his round.
It was great.
I remember that now.
It was really fun.
I wonder how Jim Renners doing.
I don't know.
Hey, Jim, if you're out there,
shoot us a note.
Let's know how you're doing.
Please.
We should talk to them.
I think he got injured.
He got injured.
We should catch up with him.
We should catch up with him.
I know he had a little bit of an injury.
I believe that he's kind of coming back.
We usually talk to injured, guys.
That's been like our theme.
You're right.
That's been huge this year.
Yeah.
Wesley Bryan, Kevin Chappell.
Love it.
So Stricker, a little comment here.
He was asked about Patrick Reed situation.
He said, as far as he's concerned, it's been handled.
He's apologized and spoke to the players.
He spoke to me.
I kind of asked him what to expect from him.
He said, you know what?
I've got your guys back.
I'm there for the team.
Thoughts.
I will not be the first person to give my thoughts right now.
I want to hear your thoughts because you're red in the face.
Well, now I refuse.
You're new to this show.
You back me into a corner.
I will not give in.
I will not either.
Trent, what would you say?
Nope.
I'm worried.
Nope.
I'm the same way.
You go.
My thoughts?
Yep.
On the Patrick Reed situation?
Patrick Reed, Router Cup, these comments that he's got everybody's back after the comments
that he made after last year's rider come i mean they're just they're tough to believe i'm not i'm not
going to jump on the patrick re train i mean if he's looking for teammates he doesn't have many teammates
i love that too i just i can't get too far behind him right now i mean like yes yeah mr america
had some great moments the rackleroy match all of it's been awesome sometimes but like it's
individual play and then when you get him in a team atmosphere like he's a good golfer because he's
by himself but when you're looking at him with other teammates it's just things get shit gets murky
It's just, yeah, he doesn't seem like, I don't know, it just seems like a miss from a teammate perspective.
It's a little frustrating that way.
I do like, I want to like him a lot.
But if he's looking for a guy to be like, oh, I want Patrick Reed as my teammate because I think we're going to have like this awesome transparent relationship.
Probably not.
Are you going to speak now, Frank?
No, yeah.
I mean, I think that's a great take on this.
Patrick Reed finds his way, finds a way for me to not like him many times.
He just finds a way.
Like you said, he has very.
He has many great moments in golf that we should all cherish, which we do, right, as like Americans, I guess.
But, like, personally with just watching him play golf and the things that he does, and especially when he's in team play,
and all of these situations that we have now seen and heard all this weird bullshit that goes on behind closed doors,
he is a very unlikable guy.
Yeah, I mean, the read and speed back and forth was just awful.
Bizarre.
So weird.
So, so weird.
It's just, it's so bizarre.
And we know that maybe there's a little baggage with Patrick that causes him to do this.
It's hard to trust.
That's why I didn't want to talk first.
I didn't know where we were going.
It's hard to trust a guy.
It's a very,
that's fair, Frank.
It's hard to trust a guy who runs to, like, the New York Times and just, you know,
gives an interview about it.
But Trent, is he the one running to the New York Times?
That's the question.
That's where I get on this thing.
I thought that's what you guys are trying to make me say.
No, I wasn't trying to make you saying.
No, back me into a corner.
I just turned in the face, so I just let me because you, like, tighten up like a pole.
There's some shit that's gone on recently that turns.
that turns me red in the face.
It's good that we, having Lurchin here now, because he hasn't been here for all that.
So we were going to give, gave him the floor on unbiased take on Patrick Reed, but now we've got to bring him into our thing where it's like, we don't think he's the one pulling the strings in this situation.
My flashback that I have right now is me standing in the Paris airport screaming at the top of my lungs, in English, with all these French people walking around the day after the Ryder Cup finished about Justine Reed.
Yeah.
She was tweeting a storm.
Now, I don't, if anything, the approach I would like to take at this point, I want to get, we need to get Justine Reed on the podcast.
100%.
I don't even, I don't, I have deferred all of my potential Patrick Reed takes onto Justine Reed.
I think she runs the show.
I think the baseball game, the Red Sox game tweet was Justine Reed.
it literally began with like my wife has been offended by this so so i am on the train that
i want to talk to justine reed first so with that like are you okay if justine reed is pulling the
strings are you now more okay with patrick reed definitely yes yeah because what yeah there's there's
a there's a take in there that you can say like oh you shouldn't let anyone like control your life
and stuff but he's not the one doing the things that we hate right at least we can take that away
Correct.
We can take over stuff.
Right, but he's okay.
Like, he has his own decisions.
Like, even if she's obviously a heavy influence in this whole thing, but like.
And you can knock him for that, but that's something that we don't know yet, right?
That's, that's like, then he's still just a mystery to me.
Then he's just a mystery.
Like, then he's just, I don't know anything.
He's a blank slate.
Yeah.
I guess then he's just as blah as his body.
Correct.
He's just, yeah.
Yeah, but the things that we would know were that, like, he's dominated in one Rider
Cup matches and he won the masters.
Yes.
And it's like there's some mystery.
Like, do you feel.
bad for the guy. Do you
or do you not? Do you say this guy? So there's
a lot to it. It's a complicated situation. It's a complicated
situation but I don't feel bad for him.
I think that yes, his wife
is an aggressive person
more of like maybe the alpha of the
relationship. The outfit she wears when he wins?
Yes. Yes, yes.
But. Orageous? Still like
When did we bring that up live on the show?
I think so. I made you guys like Google.
Was wearing a highlighter? Yeah. Oh my
God. Unbelievable.
This outfit.
Have you ever seen the flowery?
Oh, man.
Just look up.
Patrick Reed, 18th Green Master's wife or Justine Reed.
Look at that outfit.
It's like those new trending ski outfits where you just try and...
What the hell is she wearing?
I mean, it's all about her.
It's the show.
She's the show.
That's where we're coming from.
In my opinion, that is an it's about me.
I agree with that.
Yeah, but I'm still just on...
My problem with Patrick is like he can make his own decisions, hopefully.
obviously marriage relationship
you got all the things you're dealing with on my marriage
so I'm really just assuming here but
but yeah but going back
and then like when he goes at the Jordan speed
that that back and forth
just lends me to believe that
I mean she started that on Twitter
and then she probably called up the New York Times
it was like well blah blah blah
hands the phone to Patrick Reed
and you don't think like when they're at home
just like hanging out they're making dinner together
she's like well you know Jordan just he doesn't want to play
with you. He doesn't like it. I don't know.
How do you not know that when he's on the phone with the
New York Times? How do you know when
he's on the phone with the New York Times? It's not like a whiteboard
in front of him with everything to say.
Or a gun to his head. I mean, Trent just put a gun
to my head. There's a lot of death
on the episode. I would have said anything, Trent just told me to say.
Right. Okay.
That's just, no, it's just, I'm trying to consider
all, all the factors.
I'm trying to consider all the factors.
I think there's a possibility. Patrick
Reed just wants to play golf. That's all he cares about.
All the other stuff, the marriage, the
relations with the publicist that.
I don't think he cares about any of that.
Maybe he just sits as literally as like, just do it.
Whatever you want to do, whatever you want to do with my like personality on the social media,
just fucking do it.
I'm just going to go hit golf ball.
I just don't care.
I want to go to the driving range.
I'm going to put headphones in.
I'm going to hit golf balls.
I'm going to try to win Ryder Cup match.
Whatever you want to win the master.
I'm just going to play golf.
It's really the most believable thing.
Thank you.
That's why I'm a little hesitant on Patrick Reed.
I agree.
Not sold.
I don't know.
I could be wrong.
Don't know enough.
I think we'll find out pretty soon, too, like the truth.
Justine, if you're out there listening.
Or it comes out and just like,
Justin Reed is a huge four-play fan.
Be on a real.
Imagine she's like, God, they're dead right.
Madden she's like, yeah, Frankie.
Madden she's like, Frankie.
I may ruin my husband's credibility amongst the public,
but at least I don't butter knife my way.
And we're all like, holy fuck.
I mean, that'd be.
That would be awesome.
We're all rooting for that.
You have to be.
So, you know, we'll see on.
I agree he's not overly likable from what we know,
but I think there's a chance that what we know is skewed
based off of his relationships.
Don't know.
So if it is skewed, are you just now a fan?
I don't, like, what's your end game if it's skewed?
Just a blank slate.
Give him a timeline on like, like, prove me wrong now.
Now is your chance.
Okay.
So.
Yeah, there's a trial.
And I also think if something like massive came out, right,
this would be like groundbreaking information.
I think, like, players would start to come out and be like, no, like, we've noticed that this has been, like, a problem.
Like, we, like, Patrick's our boy.
Like, we're happy to see him, like, becoming, like, a new guy or whatever, shit like that.
I think, I think, like, it would be, like a bombshell.
I think everyone would.
You just give him a fresh start.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fair.
We're giving him the benefit of the doubt with this.
It could just be he's a dick.
Like, like, it definitely could be.
But just from a lot of the tweets that she's put out, the fact that, in my opinion, she was 100% running the account when he started bitching about the PGA tour, which I think a lot of people have a really negative view.
of him from that.
And that was like right before the Rider Cup.
Then he played poorly in the Rider Cup and all that.
So, again, I think that if you're taking all that in, you know, I don't know if it's
as clear as it seems.
She used to catty for him.
Oh, yeah.
The whole thing.
It's a bizarre relationship that goes back.
It starts to make a little more sense.
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
But PJA tours in Mexico this week, WGC, Mexico.
The one real comment I wanted to make is that this is the tournament where the ball goes eight
bazillion yards because they're at some year.
incredibly high elevation.
And so is it elevation?
Is it...
What's the other one?
Altitude. Which one is it?
I think it's elevation.
I think it's elevation.
Well, altitude comes with elevation.
Is that true?
No, I think one of them...
No, elevation it would be.
Altitude is like how far you are from the ground.
Yes.
Elevation is ground up.
Elevation is how far you are above sea level, I think.
A plane will be at 37,000.
feet altitude.
If you're hiking, you're at 13,000 feet elevation.
So like...
Right.
I think that's correct.
Coors Field in Denver.
Like, they, we hit balls out of there.
Like, there's no other...
Is that elevation or altitude?
Yeah.
Elevation.
Because if you're standing on the ground, it's elevation.
If you're...
So the balls would be in the altitude.
Yeah, but they'd only be like a couple, like, maybe a hundred feet altitude.
They have...
I think, I could be wrong.
They have...
At the stadium, they have, like, sea level on the seats.
Like, they have, like, they're different color.
I think.
So is it altitude or elevation?
Now where is this at?
On sea level?
No,
so you're saying the stadium's below.
No, what am I saying?
Is this Colorado?
Yeah.
Yeah, because I've been to that stadium.
It's a mile high.
It's a mile high.
That's what it is.
Yes.
You're a mile off the sea level.
The elevation's on a plateau.
5,280.
No.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, 5,280 feet.
I'm fucking nailed that.
Okay.
How good does that feel to hit that?
That?
I almost, well, I can't take full credit
because I stopped.
I said 5,280.
No.
I bailed.
But.
But.
I was there.
Got it.
Could have been 3,000.
I think it could have been way off.
So elevations high this week, so the balls go forever.
Tiger said he's hitting his wedge 180 yards.
Fake life shit.
This is the tournament again where last year or a couple years ago, DJ drove.
I think it's 300-something yard green.
He flew it on the green with a two-iron.
By the way, I've been there, done that.
I've hit 180-yard wedge.
You probably sculled it.
A hundred percent.
Yeah, okay.
I was going to say.
Easy.
All right.
Now, you're setting yourself up for your own little self-depicating little joke there.
I mean, it is a joke, but there is no doubt in my mind that I've hit a wedge 180 yards.
I bet you've hit it at wedge 220 yards.
No, I've definitely been 115, 120 out.
I've tried to absolutely murder a 56, and it went way over there.
100%.
That's not surprising.
No part of that's surprising.
All right.
Those are all kind of the headlines we want to get into.
Obviously, we do two shows a week now, so we've covered a lot of this stuff.
Next up, we've got a bunch of superintendents, a bunch of caddies.
This is the caller portion of the show.
Let's do this.
Folks, Casper products are cleverly designed to mimic human curves, providing a supportive comfort for all kinds of bodies.

We've talked on this podcast about how we moved to an apartment, about how we have a dryer.
It takes five hours and 12 minutes to dry.
So we've talked about our apartment.
I recently got a Casper, I have to say, when you take this.
this thing out of the box.
I didn't understand how it comes in this small of a box.
You take it out and it just expands like magic into a mattress that is the most comfortable
mattress I've ever had.
It's my first new mattress I've had in like seven years.
I've got to tell you, going from an average mattress like I had to a Casper.
My night's sleep last night, I felt like $8 trillion.
I was beaming this morning.
You look forward to going to sleep?
You're just like, I get to go away on that mattress now?
I cannot wait.
Like Frankie said, I'm sleeping on.
a cloud.

Kevin, what's up, man?
Hey, how you doing?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
I'm perfect.
So hit me with, you've got the whole, you got all the boys here, you got Frankie, you got Trent,
you got my buddy Lurch, myself.
Hit me with, you know, where you're from and what you do.
Okay, so I'm actually from Dublin, Ohio, home to Memorial.
I've been, I caddy there, and I work outside of, so I'm not super,
but I've definitely seen enough shit to where I understand what those guys go through,
especially around tournament week.
And it's not fun.
Let me ask you a question.
We had a guy from Mirfield on last week's show.
Do you think he represented Mirfield properly?
I will redeem the place.
We'll put that way.
Well, we had, it was interesting because we did the whole caddy show.
Everybody loved it.
But we probably got, I don't know, 30 emails from people bitching about the way that they were represented.
I don't even know if we got one about Mirfield.
But all these different caddies and all these different employees from
different clubs were like that guy was a fucking clown that represented my club you got to give me a
chance this that so now that you're on we had a merefield guy on last week i was wondering just in
general how you thought he did blake's a nice nice kid uh he's been there i think a couple years
uh definitely putting his uh nose to the grass and doing doing a good job but um one thing i did not
like that he said is uh the course does look pure year around it does i think he said something
where it didn't and i'm like yeah that's not that's not true
all.
Horse is pure year-round.
It feels like he...
It feels like not a huge endorsement
about what Blake said on the show.
No.
Anytime you describe some...
No, I mean, it's not an endorsement.
Oh, he's a nice kid.
It's not a ringy endorsement.
Yeah, I mean, you got to flip him in, you know, give him a little confidence.
He tries hard.
I mean, I mean, I mean, well.
Yeah, he does mean well.
Yeah, he just hate him.
Everything before butt is bullshit.
Yep.
Yeah, he's a puppy.
Oh, damn.
Wow.
Well, now you're buried him, Kevin.
He's a nice kid.
So, Mirfield, what's, I mean, what all goes into getting this place prepped for a tournament?
You kind of alluded to, like, it's this, you know, unbelievable operation.
Well, so it's like, you know, the golf season doesn't really start here in Ohio until about mid-April,
because, you know, we're still getting some snow.
So have you, are you guys familiar with how big the tournament actually is?
Like, it's, I mean, it's like-a-square-feet it covers or, like, how many, like, what do you mean?
It's, like, Grand Sand-sized, it's major-esque.
Oh, okay.
So, like, there's a lot of grandstands that go up, and that starts usually about late March, early April.
So we got a bunch of guys working on that.
And there's this one thing that we really ran into about five years ago, five, six years ago.
And we, like, put a fence up, a temporary fence up around the course during the tournament, you know, to keep out people from coming on, you know, possibly vandalizing and stuff.
Well, about five, six years ago, we had this problem where deer were trying to jump the fence and they would end up being impaled.
You can't laugh at that?
Lurch.
Let's tell on.
You know how cute here?
You're talking about Bambi being.
I do apologize.
Just the way he said it.
And then I just pictured, is it brave?
Yeah, Braveheart.
Hold, hold.
And then they pick up the sticks and all the horses get impaled.
And that sticks, they're spears.
Spears.
I apologize.
Long spears.
I'm working on it.
Imagine Bambi just dangling up there.
I snicker.
I didn't laugh.
I snicker.
His little legs kicking for maybe 30, 45 seconds until he runs out.
And then he just, they kick slower and slower.
And then Bambi's just dead.
Yes.
That makes me laugh a little.
He cackled.
Yeah, a little snicker.
An honest snicker.
So what are you guys doing about the deer all impaling themselves?
Well, I don't know why.
Like, it was whoever thought it was a good idea to put a bunch of spikes on the top of a fence.
But, I mean, like, this happens about a week before the tournament actually started.
So the fence was up for a good while.
And I don't know why, but all the deer decided to come out and try and, you know, hop the fence.
And so, like, now we have to put, like, these special guards on top,
and it's just a huge process because we don't want to see, you know, a deer hang by nuts from a fence anymore.
No, no.
You could just break the fence taller.
Lurch wants that.
No, I don't want that.
You said a private video on a lurch of all these?
They can jump high.
These things are like six feet tall.
Yeah, no, I'm familiar with deer.
Six feet tall.
That seems incorrect.
From our height guy, from our resident height guy.
You mean six feet at the shoulder?
Six feet like when they jump.
You're talking like a moose now.
I mean, six feet tall.
No, I'm saying how tall to fenced it.
Okay.
From hook to underbelly, if we're talking, if that's like six feet.
Well, I thought it should be more common knowledge.
You guys got freaked deep.
over in Ohio.
Can you imagine six feet tall, like, deer?
They'd be running around.
It's like a dinosaur.
Imagine like a 12.6 foot tall buck?
I feel like we're just talking about moose now.
Correct.
That's the difference.
Do your deer take on trains, too?
Because now you're talking about moose.
Yeah, so we just had to put guards on top of them now.
Just out of curiosity, how many were impaled, like when you were inspecting?
In your eyes.
I didn't inspect it.
I've heard about it
What do you think the number?
And I think there was probably around 10 to 15
Oh shit
Jesus
At a time
That's a problem
I would say
Cemetery
Jesus Christ
After I'd say after two or three
You gotta be like
We gotta fix this deer problem
Something's going on
You can't let it get this double digits
It was all at once
It was like
They just multiply
It's like one per hole
It was crazy
It was like that Johnstown shit
Right
Yeah, I picture it too.
Like when all of a sudden, like, one whale gets beached and beaches itself or whatever,
and you come out the next morning there's like eight of them,
and you come out of the next, there's like 40 of them.
That's kind of what I imagine with the deer.
It's just a field of, literally a graveyard of dead deer.
Yeah.
All right, Kevin.
I mean, did you guys figure it out?
I think the deer story, that's your A-1 story.
Well, you tell us.
Yeah, you're acting like.
I mean, if you want to hear about the,
chamber i don't know what's in the chamber like a bunch of kids digging through mud in the streams
like apocalypse now and shit like it's like there's so much dirt that goes behind making that course
look the way it does and it's quite impressive that people sign up for it and they buy into like
the image of murfield and it's like an unbelievable thing to be a part of and you know they have
these kids you know come out seasonal so it's not like year-round like this is their job and they
find them literally just to scoop mud out of rivers out of the rivers throughout the entire
course so the rivers look nicer yeah exactly and that's literally people's job there
scooping the shit out of the out of the streams i don't hate it's year-round i think you got do
what you got oh i mean yeah does they pay the kids are they are they is it doc is it doc is their documentation
or are they just like hey a couple kids come scoop the mud out of these rivers well yeah i mean
they work, but, you know, like, all hands on deck during the tournament.
So we'll bring in, like, guys from other, uh, other clubs and stuff to, uh, you know,
help assist, get the course ready because, I mean, course is math.
All right, so guys have, like, shudy jobs to get the golf course ready.
To me, that doesn't seem like anything crazy.
Yeah, we stick it on the new guys.
Anything crazy guys, like, dye the grass green or anything like that?
Do we?
At Mirfield, die the grass green?
No.
I'm just trying to get to the bottom.
there's all this dirty tricks that go in there.
It just sounds like people just work.
Oh, no.
Dirty tricks as in, I mean, you know, guys are...
Literally dirty.
Nipple high and mud and shit.
Yeah.
When he said we got a lot of dirt behind it, I think I thought the same thing that you did
Riggs where we're like, oh, shit, we're about to get some dirt.
He's talking...
He's talking...
He's talking soil.
Yeah.
He's talking fire-fest tournament version.
He's talking growing up rocks.
No, we're clean here.
No, we run a clean-off.
Oh, you're talking literal dirt.
Yeah.
Oh.
Caked and shit.
Okay.
All right, no, that makes sense.
All right, Kevin.
Well, we appreciate it.
Hey, keep getting dirty, making the course ready for the golf tournament.
It's a great tournament.
Jack's tournament, Memorial.
Love it.
Tigers wanted a bunch of times.
So keep up the good work.
Course looks awesome.
I really want to get out there so if you can help me do that, you know.
We can talk off there.
How about that?
Let's take it off air.
Kevin, we appreciate the call, man.
All right.
All right.
See you guys.
Have a great night.
All right.
Every single one of us, there's five of us in this room.
We're going to go five for five on Dear Nightmares tonight.
I guarantee it.
Yeah.
We're all going to wake up in a cold sweat
picturing deer just on top of fucking...
And I was originally picturing six foot tall deer
impaled everywhere.
It's like a horror film.
Fucking mess.
Yeah.
10 to 15 is outrageous.
Outrageous.
Way too high of a number.
Way too high.
For you to call it then.
Like when you see two...
The first one, you know it's a problem.
Especially since like the deer all have to come from that same like direction, right?
Like they're all just running into the same.
And they're all just getting impaled one by...
one next to the other.
You imagine walking up to that fence and seeing them all just hanging there?
That person's in a living there.
10 to 15 is a lot.
That's a nightmare.
You walk up to 10 to 15 deer, you got a nightmare on your hands.
What's your first step?
You're the ops person.
You call in.
Hey, boss, I just found 10 to 15 speared deer.
I lie to fire.
No, you run away in horror.
No, you run into one.
You impale yourself.
You add yourself to the list.
You do it.
You got to end it right there.
I agree.
I think you burn the whole thing down.
Nolan, what's up?
Are you there?
Yeah.
Hey man, it's Riggs.
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Great.
So where are you working?
What do you do?
Well, I used to work at two places, Avalon Lakes Country Club, and then Diamondbacks, Resort and Spa, rest and peace.
Oh, no.
RIP.
So what was, you got any crazy stories from being a...
A super?
Well, I'll clarify.
So Diamondback, my family owned it, so we kind of all ran it.
Okay.
And then we closed, and I went to Avalon, and I was an intern there, and that's kind of where my story comes from.
But anyway, I was working one morning, and I was on number seven.
So I was weed-wacking drainage, like holes.
Okay.
And clearing them out.
there's a guy
So there's a guy
who played at the club
And he was a former NFL player
I don't know his name
Not a big name but he played in the NFL
Moved back home
When he was done
He was an insurance guy back home
And he was pretty much the club dick
And he wasn't fond of the maintenance staff
Very much
And he had a brother
That was out at like
Bel Air Country Club I believe
So he had all these high hopes
For what his club should look like
And it was very critical
and we, so anyway, I'm weed-waxing these drainage ditches.
He comes up to the T, and I'm on the left side of the hole.
I kind of get myself out of the way, and he hits one over my direction in the woods, basically.
So I'm over there, and I kind of get out of his way again, and he's just glaring at me the whole way.
Kind of punches out, whatever works his way up to the green.
And, you know, at this point, he's at the green probably 200 yards away, and I'm working my way down the left side of the fairway.
We'd whacking these drainage heads, and I get to, like,
like 100 yards away and I see they're all starting to putt. So that's a pretty common maintenance
guy. The thing to do, I guess, is you run the machine you're on up until you notice that the guy
is into his approach essentially. Okay. And so, you know, he's lining up with putts, whatever,
and I'm still weed whacking, weed whewacking, but I'm paying attention. And, you know, as he gets
to where I know he's about to putt, I don't shut it off, but I let it idle. And I continue,
you that three putts over and so at this point i'm like jesus you know i forget it the guy's
about to take like an eight on the hole and he's fired up he's been glaring me down the whole way
can you tell when people are doing the glare down what you can always tell when someone's given kind
of the glare down oh yeah i mean you know you're like say you're in a bunker like green side or
something you quit working and they miss a put or duff a chip or something it's always your fault
you got to kind of wear that i feel like that's fine blame it on
me, buddy, I don't care. Yeah, no, that's kind of what it is. It's like, yeah, dude, I mean,
whatever. If that gives you, that clears your mind about what you did, but it was my fault,
that's fine. So, you know, it never has bothered me, really. But this guy in particular,
so he putts out, and I'm just running the weeder wide open at this point, and he gets in
his cart and starts driving towards me. And I'm like, oh, here we go. Like, I've never,
it's never escalated to, like, someone coming and saying something. And he comes over and just
on a rampage about how he's sick of all the maintenance workers around there not paying any
attention. I go, hey, I was idling down, you know, when you were putting nothing. I wasn't,
I understand. Like, I know we can't get in your way too much, but, you know, we got a job to do.
And he's just on a rant. And he goes, you know, you maintenance guys don't know anything
about golf. You just don't know anything about how it works. And I'm a pretty seasoned
to golfer. I grew up around the game, and I'm pretty good. So at this point, I'm quite offended.
Not to brag.
No, no, no.
But I'm pretty offended at this point.
So I'm like, excuse me.
I mean, you know, I do know golf pretty well.
And I think, you know, the weed whacker was the least year problems on that four putt you had there.
And so, you know, I've set him off at this point.
And he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, whatever going on and on.
And I was like, I'd love to, you know, show you one day if you'd like to get out and play.
And so he's, I've now insulted him twice.
and so we end up
he goes into the clubhouse
on his tangents still
and the assistant that was in the clubhouse knew me
and he starts ranting about me
and I guess the assistant ends up telling him like
there's a lot of maintenance guys out there
you might have been able to say that too
but that kid can play a little bit
maybe not your best interest
and so we try to set up a game
don't get anything going
and then I actually run into him like two weeks later
while I'm playing and he had like
seven holes left and he's like
you're the kid who, like, you know, was smart-ass to me, essentially.
I'm like, I mean, yeah, you could say that.
And he's like, he's like, well, why don't you join up and, you know, show me how to play.
And so whatever, we played the last seven holes together.
I think I beat him by, like, three shots.
And, you know, at the end, he put his tail between his legs, you know, told me good play.
How intense was that?
I mean, how intense were those seven holes?
I'd like to tell you that it was superheated.
But, I mean, I think after he saw me hit a few shots, he kind of tried to be more
civil about it. You know, at first, when I
pulled up on him, and they were going to let me
through until he realized who I was.
And at first,
it was kind of like, oh, you're that guy.
I got confused when you said
you set up a match.
You set up the match, and then what happened?
Well, it basically
just fell through, like, a few, like
we couldn't set up a time. So the
assistant inside got times from the guy
and was like, hey, like, can you
play? We were going to play. I was going to go out with the assistant
because I was friends with him, and
He knew the guy.
The guy's probably dodging.
I mean, I think he's just dodging.
I, I pictured, like, your body in this guy, and he's like, let's take it to the course,
and you guys just fucking went out there and just.
No, the guy's dodging.
I mean, he chirp, right?
He gets rattled.
He tries to blame his fucking eight putter or whatever on the maintenance guy.
Maintenance guy quips back at him, which he probably never saw coming.
Usually, you all at a maintenance guy, the maintenance guy just kind of waves at you in the cart thing.
And so, yeah, whatever.
Huge fucking headphones.
I mean, he doesn't.
He doesn't.
He doesn't a music.
That's right.
That's my bad.
That's my bad.
Whatever.
I don't give a fuck.
So then you quit back at him.
Then he had to actually, you know, put up or shut up.
And he decided to kind of shut up.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
I was kind of hoping you rev the weed whacker at him a little bit.
Well, yeah.
It would be unreal if you just had a weed whacker on you during that match.
You just, like, got real close to his legs and shit while he's trying to hit.
Like, oh, yeah, sorry about that.
I was trying to juggle, like, you know, really getting into him or keeping my job.
So I did what I could without, I think.
Sounds like the course was on your side.
All the assistant stuff.
Like, yeah, actually don't, you know, don't fuck.
Yeah, I mean, I had a pretty good group of friends out there.
Yeah, he's a club dick.
Everybody's got a club's got a club dick, right?
Exactly, exactly.
Let me ask you this.
I got a question for you.
What's the protocol?
You're a maintenance guy.
You're mowing.
You're kind of mowing around the bunkers and around the fairway and whatnot.
I'm on the tee.
What do we do?
Right?
A lot of times we kind of like do this standoff thing.
Is it cool if we hit?
Is this guy in fucking la la la land?
Am I going to, if I knock them out?
But it feels like a lot of times maybe the maintenance guys want you to
just play, they're oblivious.
What's the protocol in that situation?
So I'm a golfer as well, so I know we run into that standoff all the time.
But as an employee, you know, I always felt if we made eye contact and you saw that I stopped
my work where I got off to the side or even if I wasn't out of the bunker, if I got out of
the way and we were making eye contact, that meant you were clear to go.
If I was oblivious for more than a minute, as a golfer, if a guy's oblivious in front of me,
that's when I cut it loose.
Like this guy obviously isn't paying attention.
So I don't know.
I guess there's no, never when I was working did I get a tutorial on the protocol for that.
Gotcha.
Well, that makes sense.
That's good to know.
Yeah, there's got to be some sort of contact, whether it's eye contact, whatever, this, that, yeah, feel thing.
All right, Nolan.
Well, we really appreciate the call.
Glad you kind of dusted that guy that had to feel good.
Hey, thanks for having me, guys.
Absolutely.
Thanks for calling.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, thought that you don't know where those are going to go.
I appreciated his modesty while telling his story.
He complimented himself every time, but he somehow turned it into he wasn't.
It was really something.
It was quite a way to tell a story.
He did honestly just say, yeah, like I've played a little golf.
I'm good.
He just said that.
Yeah.
Which I, you know, it's fine.
And then he said, oh, he didn't usually hear that from a maintenance guy.
And then he talked about how he just like turned the screws on him.
It was quite a story to tell.
Quite a quite a way to tell it.
I enjoyed it.
Yeah.
The ride hire can make a huge impact on your.
business. That's why it's so important to find the right person, but where do you find
an individual? You can post a job on the job board and hope the right person will find your job,
unlikely. But think about it. How often do you hang out on job boards? Trent Daddy.
Almost never. Frankie?
Almost never. Never. Yeah, I would just say never. Don't leave finding someone great to chance
when you could post your job to a place where people go every day to make connections, grow their
career, and discover job opportunities. LinkedIn. I used to use LinkedIn all
when I was a recruiter. I've told this story. I worked in recruiting. Old days up in Boston,
up in the financial district of Boston, I was doing a little recruiting action. LinkedIn was by
far. Great tool. By far, the greatest tool that I had at my disposal wasn't even close. Most LinkedIn
members haven't recently visited the top job boards, but nine out of ten members are open to
do opportunities. And with 70% of the U.S. workforce on LinkedIn, that's a massive number.
70% of the U.S.
workforce is on LinkedIn.
Posting on LinkedIn is the best way
to get your job opportunity
in front of more of the right people.
People who are qualified for your rule
and ready for something new.
It's the best way to find the person
who will help you grow your business.
And why a new hire is made
every 10 seconds on LinkedIn.
Hurry to LinkedIn.com slash 4
and get 50% off.
That's stunned, Frankie.
Every 10 seconds.
Let's just wait 10 seconds.
A new hire.
A new hire.
That's incredible.
Really.
Really, I would say two people will hire because somebody who's hired right at the beginning of those 10 seconds and another at the end.
You can do it on the five.
And not just hired and like hired from LinkedIn.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good.
Oh, LinkedIn.
Another one.
Jesus.
Whoa.
Somebody just got hired.
You feel that?
People are getting a great new jobs.
Unbelievable.
That's excited.
Hurry to America.
Hurry to LinkedIn.com slash four and get $50 off your first job post.
That's LinkedIn.com slash four to get $50 off your first job post.
LinkedIn.com slash four terms and conditions apply.
Let's go to, uh, Joe.
Joe, what's up?
Hey, how's it going, man?
Great. How are you?
I'm doing well.
Yeah, I mean, I'm stoked to be on the show.
I think you guys are doing an awesome job.
That's very nice, Joe.
You know why we appreciate that.
Very nice thing to say.
So where you work, what do you do?
So I'm a caddy.
Caddy had a course on Long Island.
I mean, if I can, I'll leave it at that.
I think that's smart.
I think we actually found out, too,
some caddies probably got in trouble last week.
Yes, we did.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't think it was...
No, we did find that out.
It wasn't a guess.
That's just what happened.
So I think it's probably smart.
That's smart.
Well, a lot of people are calling in like, yeah, this is my real name.
This is exactly where I work.
Here's all these trash stories.
It's like, well, I mean...
I got to tell you, I didn't think about that until right this second.
15 caddies just lost their jobs last week.
I kind of thought about it mid a couple stories being like, man, I bet they could really track this down.
Hopefully he's using a fake name.
and then I'd go back and look at some of the emails.
They all just gave a real name.
So that's probably smart, Joe.
Yeah, yeah.
Getting some pointers before I called in.
But, yeah, so, Cary out east.
Yeah, I guess a couple stories, but the first one I thought it kind of related to you guys,
mainly just because it has to do with Kevin Turner.
Kiz.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm, like, ballpark 90% sure.
This is Kiz, but, I mean, it's the first name that comes.
of mine, really.
Went out with a couple members.
Big drinking group, so
by the turn, everyone's pretty much
blackout.
They get
to one of the last couple of holes.
It's a par three.
Tough, I mean,
short but tough.
And it kind of, it's
surrounded by a couple different tea boxes.
So you get people team off on
18 and the 16 green
near it so everyone's kind of watching and uh kids is up there so naturally i mean he's got
kind of a group's looking on him from every angle and um the rest of the group is pretty pretty blackout
and no one's really hitting it um everyone kind of sees kids kids is definitely fucked up also
but uh kind of looks around um steps up to it and kind of hits just a high a high lob
things sticks
like four feet from the cup
and he turns to everybody and says
this isn't a...
I know hobby fellas
I knew that fucking story.
We all knew.
It's like it's fucking great dude
but I mean
yeah I figured you
you may have come across that story
seen as you was kids.
Awesome story.
I mean it's the best story ever
but kids yeah I mean that's a pretty famous story
from kids.
From you, no?
He, no.
I just felt like I was in like another world.
No, hold on.
Somebody originally...
You were all just like...
looking at each other and I'm like, are we not just going to like jump in and tell this guy we know the end of the story?
You can talk about it on the podcast.
I'm also wondering if this has become a little bit of a mythical type thing where it gets translated to different courses and stuff.
Telephone?
I mean, we have a telephone situation on our head.
We may have a telephone because I've heard it from like three different golf courses and stuff.
But I will also say it is a line that Kiz has used before I heard the story that I've heard them use like in conversation and stuff.
So I think it's a real story where it actually occurs.
I don't know.
But Joe, it is a great story.
It's a fantastic story.
Do you have any other sense?
I think a lot of people have heard that story.
I felt like I was in another galaxy.
I thought you guys were hearing it for the first time.
I was about to smack you guys.
I mean, Riggs came up with this.
Yeah.
I mean, the course where I work naturally,
there are a lot of pros come out.
But one of the other pros that's been out there,
this was before I got there.
But, I mean, this story kind of got passed down.
It has to do with Luke Donald.
He's playing at the course with a couple members,
and he asked the caddy,
well, they're on the front nine,
and he runs out like five birdies to start,
then has an eagle or something like that.
So making the turn he's at like minus six, minus seven,
turns to the caddy and asks, like, hey,
what's the course record here, man?
Guy says 63,
which is eight under.
Then Luke Donald turns and asks, so, like, who holds it?
Caddy says, like, oh, the pro does here.
He's a, yeah, I mean, pro nailed it about two years ago.
And then he turns to him again, and he asks, like, he had a nice guy?
Caddy's like, yeah, he's the man.
He, like, treats everyone really well, no matter of the position.
Last nine holes, Luke Donald pars each of them.
Doesn't party again.
So nice guy, Luke Donald.
Nice guy.
Yeah, class, class guy.
It's a classy move.
You know, again, feels like a couple telephone-type stories.
I don't disagree.
But, look, I've heard nothing but phenomenal things about Luke Donald.
So if that's the case and he's out there purposely missing birdie puts or whatnot,
because that guy gets to hang his hat on having the course record at this undamed golf course forever.
That's pretty cool.
I mean, I still think Luke Donald should have just buried him.
And then even if the pro still holds like that.
Or, if you're Luke Donald, you bury a million birdies, and then on 18, you do something wildly illegal.
So your round doesn't count?
Yep.
That's what you do.
DQ yourself.
I think that's the play.
No, bad idea.
Did you say kill yourself?
Yeah.
What?
Joe, can you confirm?
DQ.
DQ.
I mean, listen, we just heard another story about some death.
That's not an angle we had.
We were like, you know, go crazy on the 18th old, missed a couple of puts.
He was like, just fucking kill you.
I'm sorry, Joe.
I miss her.
I thought you said, yeah, just kill yourself.
That was just like one of the options.
Yeah, A, B, or C, C is kill yourself.
Let's do that.
All right, Joe.
Well, we appreciate the call.
We appreciate the stories.
You know, we're not going to give away the course.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, thank you guys.
It's been a great job covering golf like it should be.
But, again, best luck to you guys.
That's very nice.
Good luck to you, too, Joe.
I think I would never say it, but I think I know the course.
You do.
Yeah.
I just think I do.
We're not going to say.
it because I'm not going to blow up.
Well, everybody was just scrolling through the Rolodex.
As soon as he mentioned, I think, about the 16th, the 18th, 100%.
Everything was going on.
What kind of course do I know where the 70th hole is, like, kind of short?
So, you know, I don't want to.
I feel like we definitely know the course.
We're not going to say.
We wouldn't do that.
We're not here in that.
We're not in that business at all.
No, no.
Unknowingly.
Yes, unknowingly.
Ignorance.
I mean, I kind of knew.
I kind of knew.
I kind of knew. I said.
You knew?
Well, I thought about saying to people, hey, you might want to go with a fake name here.
That's a good thing going for me.
Think about what they were doing.
Yeah.
My name is John.
I'm just revealing information.
This scumbag doesn't tip, oh, blah, blah.
Oh, I work in the service department at this court.
Think about this.
Think about the stuff that we cut.
Those people would have been in real trouble.
Yeah, we did cut.
You're right.
We did.
We had cut a couple things last week.
Just the way you said it made it sound like it was like mid-story,
and then you're just helping this guy out.
Hey, just so you know the way you're telling this story,
you probably want to give a fake name.
Like you're giving compromising information.
We're learning as we go with these types of shows.
It's a new format.
Everyone is.
We invented this unbelievably cool new way to podcast, so we're getting the kinks out, ironing out the kinks.
That would they say?
Yes.
I think either were.
Chris, what's going on?
Hey, how's it going?
You fixed your voice there.
It was a quick fix.
Yeah, I know.
I've been sitting on hold for a minute.
I just forgot how to talk there for a sec.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah, we got a lot of people.
So we appreciate the patience.
Oh, no, absolutely, man.
I really appreciate the time.
So where you work, what do you do?
And also it might not be a bad idea to, you know, give us a fake name if you're going to give a bad story because we don't want you to get in trouble.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, my, I'm from Knoxville, Tennessee.
I work at a country club down there.
And we, I was, I'm assistant superintendent right now.
I'm still currently in school, UT.
I have to graduate in May.
And last summer, I was out, Watering Green's,
probably about, I don't know, 95, 100 degrees outside.
I was watering greens.
Nobody was around there.
There was just one lady playing on a hole over, and she just came over to me,
and she walked across the creek the hole I was watering apart three,
and there's a creek that runs right down the middle,
which is very loud in of itself.
And she basically came by and walked across the creek across the little bridge
before she hit her shot into the hole that she was on
and told me to be quiet because I was being too loud water.
the green to make sure that she could play.
And she basically sat there for 15 minutes while I wanted the green and just berated me
for being disruptive.
Come on.
Too loud watering the green?
Yeah.
So, like, out in the summer, when it gets real hot, we got to go around and just make
sure that, you know, the greens don't die because, I mean, if you think about it,
a putting green is essentially grass mode.
If you take two dimes and stack it on top of each other, that's about how tall the grass is.
Okay. I thought you were saying Pottor means grass.
I thought you were going that route too.
Well, yeah, that makes sense. You need to water grass.
Yeah, no, you got to water it, and especially when it gets real hot like it does here in Knoxville this summer.
It's one of those things. I can get out of hand pretty quick if you're not on top of it.
What kind of hose were you using? Is it a loud, extraordinarily loud hose?
I mean, it's a half-inch hose. I mean, it's not any loud.
I mean, like I said, there was a creep that she had to walk across that has,
rip-wrapped and rapids in it that's that's pretty loud and i don't think you could hear the hose i mean
it's just like a normal normal garden hose rip-wrap and rapids
yeah i mean it's got like uh you know it's got you know the water's moving pretty fast through
there is that a special kind of rapid no it's just like the you know like the the the rock
you see on the side of like pre-banks and stuff like that i guess that's what we call it rip-rap
rip-rap that's the noise the water makes rip-rap I mean i think of a very jagged
very jagged creek.
Dangerous creek.
Jagged as hell.
You're falling there.
It's very jagged.
You're in trouble.
It makes me think a riffrapped the rapper.
You don't, you do not want to get on the creek.
I'll tell you that.
He goes, it's very jagged.
Yeah.
All right, Chris, well, look, it sounds unfair.
We kind of, we found out from a prior caller,
it sounds like people like to blame.
Yeah.
Orse employees for them just sucking at golf.
I love the word break.
Yeah, this, like I'm, this lady,
was kind of an old bag. I mean, she's
out there every day. She,
she sucks. I mean, I'll just say that.
You're smart. You don't reveal where you're
from or anything. Yeah, no, I'm not going to
reveal where I'm from.
You just said this old bag
sucks it off. We'll say that. TIGway's
water, grass, a little bit
of photosynthesis, if I can say
that word. That's a topic. That was a disaster.
Rip-wrapping, rapid.
I mean, I just watch your tone.
Chris goes, you almost
photosynthesis.
I'm going to bail.
All right, Chris.
Lurch's tongue turned 10,000 pounds there.
Yeah, it's a tough word there.
You don't want to mess it up.
Can you say it?
Photosynthesis.
Nailed it.
Nice job.
Yeah.
I'm a plant science major, so I have to know that stuff.
Okay.
What's the most interesting thing about plant science?
Nothing.
Jesus, Frank.
Plant science?
He committed his life to this.
Plant science?
Come on.
I mean, he's going to say the same thing about pizza.
He's pretty cool.
I mean, you can't hear about the grass.
He manages golf.
Where you walk around.
Yeah, Trent, get on the side of the room, please.
When you get to the point.
When you, when you play on a beautiful golf course, it takes people hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours to make it look as good as you do.
That's not what I go to do in my life.
Hey, listen, and I applaud you.
All you can talk about is pizza and much around.
I applaud you and I thank you.
But don't sit here and say that's some sort.
of like awesome thing to sit through you're like what's interesting about plant science
no no it's boring as shit plant science itself is boring as hell thank you don't let him sway you don't
let him sway you i mean there's a lot of jobs out there that the result when you get to the final
product is amazing for for cave like that chris for humanity in the world but like well no no
it's like brutal like i mean school yeah i mean it's like but the actual like final product is
awesome yeah the final product's great plant science oh what are you doing uh uh
study planes.
Hey, what's the difference
between what you do
and what Matt Damon does
in the Mars movie?
Botany.
Yeah, what's the difference
between you and that?
He's more of a,
I guess, more of like a lab nerd
kind of a scientist guy.
Doesn't sound like the right turn.
Whereas I kind of do real world shit
and actually apply what he does.
I mean, that's kind of what I would say.
I don't know.
Shots fired up.
I'll be honest.
And I'll be honest, I'd rather be the nerd
out in space.
Yeah.
Getting things to grow rather than just
I don't know.
Yeah, but if you commit your life to going to Mars, you're basically, you know, that's a death sentence.
I don't want to do that.
All right.
Different goals for different.
You know that movie was nominated for a comedy?
Always throws me off.
Yeah.
What?
Is it your guy Elon Musk thinks that, like, we'll be on, people just be able to live on Mars, like under $100,000?
He says it'll cost less than $100,000 is a clown.
I love this guy because he's right, and I'm right.
$100,000 or less, we're going to live on Mars.
He gave no timeline.
He gave no facts.
He just threw out a tweet, and people were like, oh, that's going to be awesome.
It's like, give us some fucking facts.
too idiot. I'm with this guy.
Trent hates Elon Musk.
I'm getting that.
No, I mean, Elon Musk is.
He does give out a ton of false promises.
Chris, we really appreciate the call.
Good luck down in there.
And Knoxville.
Hey, well, thank you.
What's your weather like this time here?
Well, normally, we've basically been getting flooded with water for the last two weeks.
It hasn't stopped raining.
Those rip raps.
It's fucking rip-wrap.
It's hard right now.
Yeah.
I mean, we're under a flood watch right now.
Oh, shit.
Be careful.
A lot of water.
Yeah, we'll be careful.
Get on an elevated surface, Chris.
You'd be fine.
I live on the third floor, so I'll be all right.
I don't think that's how it works, but perfect.
All right.
See you later, buddy.
Thanks for the call.
Yeah, appreciate it.
Well, if the house goes, it doesn't matter what floor.
Right, you're just floating higher up.
That's what I guess.
What I should have said is get on, like, high ground.
He's trying to get out his last words.
If you just go, I don't think that's how it works.
Bye, thanks.
I mean, think about it.
The house gets stuffed away.
I agree.
The third floor, it doesn't, you're gone.
Or you just drop one level down.
That's not like the water doesn't go through in like a quick path.
I'm on, yes, I agree.

It was a sore related, but not really.
The Martian is maybe my favorite Sunday night movie.
Oh, it's a great one.
You said you couldn't believe it was nominated for comedy.
For a comedy.
Oh, yeah, that was dumb.
Okay.
I agree with that.
They wanted to stick it on something.
They had to put it something.
Yeah, that's a miss.
That's a great movie.
If you find that on HBO on a Sunday night, you're like, ooh, I know what's going to happen.
Sunday night movies.
And I'm just going to get to enjoy it and kind of like messle away.
He's got a great sense of humor on that, but it's not a comedy.
There's like one funny part.
No, he does have a lot of good little lines and shit.
He's always chirping back to the mission control and all that.
So he's pretty funny.
But it's not a comedy.
No.
It's just not a comedy.
It's not.
Sunday Night movie, is that like a thing?
It's like if you're when you're hung over, like, any, any Matt day, or not Matt Day,
Matthew McConaughey, rom-com is a good Sunday night movie.
I'm trying to think of some other ones.
For me, Sunday night is like something I've never seen.
No, it's got a, not a, no.
I don't want to have to think.
I'm actually on the other side.
I want to watch, Sunday night.
It's a comfort movie?
Yes.
Something that you haven't seen a while.
I already know what's going to happen.
and it makes it easier to go to bed
because I'm like, I know the next three scenes.
You know what's a great one?
I can fade away.
The great one is The Change Up with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds.
Incredible movie.
It's an unbelievable Sunday movie.
I don't know that one.
I guess Sunday's the only day that I have to like, you know, I have all day.
And then I think about, you know, tonight I'm going to sit down.
I'm going to find a movie I've never watched before.
That's like my Sunday night.
Okay.
Because then you think about, like, the new Game of Thrones comes out.
I've never seen that before.
Every Sunday night feels like a new night.
What's a good,
serious or, you know, like you're going to watch a great movie that you've never seen before?
What night of the week is that?
Wednesday?
Mid-on, Trent.
Mid-week.
Any, in the middle of the week.
Yeah, Monday.
Monday through Thursday, I'll do that.
Monday.
I'll risk it.
I'll go something big, something different, something new.
But Sunday, I want to trust what I'm going to get.
Because you get a little water cooler talk the next day.
Yeah.
Monday I'm watching The Bachelor.
Any other Tuesday?
Thursday is a good one because you'll watch it and then you can talk about it.
and then it's the weekend.
It's Friday.
It's a good time.
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
So, let me ask this.
I've never, you don't have to give me the whole song and dance after I say this,
but I've never seen any of the Godfather.
So what would be the right night of week for me to endeavor?
It's long.
Wednesday.
He's going to knock out a three-hour movie on a Wednesday night?
No, the answer is no.
I guess that's maybe.
What are you insane?
There's other things that happen on Wednesday nights.
Today's Wednesday.
Right.
You can watch a Godfather tonight.
No, you can't.
Why?
It's way too long.
It's already.
7 o'clock by the time I get home.
I would put that on Saturday.
If you're like Saturday at 11, maybe a couple beers on Friday night,
rainy Saturday, maybe a lovely.
Maybe a snowy Wednesday.
Maybe a new couch.
Maybe a Sunday afternoon.
I wish I had said Saturday.
What's fucking snowy Wednesdays do you get?
Can you imagine telling someone to watch?
Can you imagine telling someone to watch the Godfather on a Wednesday night?
Kill yourself.
I think that's a little over the top.
There's a lot of death on this podcast.
What is alive about?
That's right.
You know what?
That was me lashing out about what he told me when I told me.
him about his fucking wires.
Because whenever I bring up,
whenever we talk about the wires on this,
I wrote a blog where I said,
kill yourself.
So I tell Frankie to kill himself.
And you even went deeper, didn't you?
I told them to go out, buy a gun.
And then I said,
I will come to your funeral
and lick the tears off your mother's cheek.
Wow.
I feel like a little bit of anger's been brought out of me.
We just talked about Elon Musk,
so I feel a little revved up.
But I do want to say that I wish I had said Saturday
for the Godfather.
That was a good, that was good, that was good pick.
Thank you.
Much appreciate you.
So now we're getting into why I haven't done the Godfather.
It's got to be like this perfect day.
It's going to be snowy Wednesday or a rainy Saturday where I don't have any other plans.
I said snowy Wednesday because it just happens to be snowing outside right now.
It's a great movie, but it's not the best movie of all time, by the way.
Godfather?
Yeah.
Great movie, though.
Great movie.
It's definitely worth a watch.
You want a big movie.
There's better movie.
That's a type of movie if you haven't seen yet.
You should watch it just to be, like, in on the jokes about it.
I'm more care about my cultural cold that I have than I do about the actual enjoyment of the movies.
100%.
People reference it all the time.
That's why I watch all the Marvel movies.
What do you think of them?
I think that's a little different.
It is?
I don't think everybody's referencing all the Marvel movies all the time.
I really think we're living in the time where that's quite...
There you are.
That's exactly what's...
No, you don't get the same references in Marvel movies that you get it.
In our world, we reference Thanos and the Marvel movies much more than we do the godfather.
Bro, I don't think so.
Before I watch all those people, be like, oh, I don't feel so good.
I'm like, what the fuck are you guys talking about?
And then I saw it happen on the movies.
Anything we see on the internet?
You know, the little guy, like, just fucking decaying?
Yes.
I didn't get what those of those memes were for months
I watched other memes
I guess memes I'm talking about like conversational references
Like on the radio and stuff
People like go to the
To the different things that happen in Godfather
I can't do it because
I don't we sometimes say like would you want to snap your fingers
And have the world and like oh what's that movie from
No but like Dave does it all time
He goes oh that's just like in the Godfather
And they don't do like a Godfather
Like this that
He's 40 I guess you do radio with them every day
Well I do three hours of radio every day with two different port noise
And they reference Godfather all fucking down
That's the problem.
That is.
We just got it.
No, it's the dad.
It's Mike Portnoy.
But people also consider Godfather, like maybe the greatest movie ever.
It's a great movie.
So that combined with the fact that I get these references from the Portnoy's all the time, I feel like I'm missing a huge cultural thing.
They definitely reference the fuck out of it.
Every day.
And Mike Portnoy references it incorrectly all the time, apparently.
And you have no idea.
Well, I find out later in the show.
People call him out.
That was the wrong character.
And then he goes, oh, yeah.
It's a disaster.
Let's go to Kevin.
Kevin, what's going on?
Hey, what's up?
How you doing, man?
Good, man.
How about you?
I'm doing great.
You're on the show with all the boys right now.
Why don't you tell us kind of what you do and where you do it?
Right on, man.
I work down in Savannah.
A club called the club at Savannah Quarters, formerly known as Savannah Quarters Country Club.
I'm the assistant superintendent down here.
What's your social security number?
Yeah.
What else can we get from?
I was trying to bleep it out for you, so we didn't get the club.
It's a strategy.
Unless you're going to talk highly of them.
I mean, it doesn't always have to be there.
That's true.
That's true.
Maybe he's going to write glowing reviews about them.
That's a good point.
So what's it like being a super down there?
What do you get into?
Well, I'm assistant super.
Assistant to the Super?
Yep.
So right hand man to the Super down here.
Great guy.
Love working for him.
Smart.
But we do a lot, man.
We work our butts off.
That's for sure.
What's like the biggest, what's the biggest,
What's the biggest obstacle or the biggest challenge and getting a course in really good shape that the average person would never think of?
Green speeds, man.
Down here in the summertime, getting these green speeds up, the pain in the ass.
Everybody wants fast greens.
Yep, that's the American way.
How, like, how cumbersome is it to actually have fast greens?
Like, how much extra work is it to have greens that run at a 13 versus greens that run in a 9?
well down here on bermuda greens we got to verticut the shit out of them in the summertime to keep them pretty thin
but you're also trying to deal with the happy medium keeping them healthy at the same time
and trying to keep those speeds up but man it it's just tough you got to do a lot of work a lot of top dressing
like i said a lot of verticut and uh it's it's a lot of work what is vertic cut out
deep that's a better way for you
nope
that's worse
go the other direction
explain it to me like I'm fine
it's like a mower just vertically
I have literally this image of you
like you're driving the mower
towards the sky
not a single image came into my head
just blank
oh vertical mowing
is another way of putting it
It kind of takes the thatch out of what's in the ground, basically, or the grass.
If you had to describe this to a baby, try to give it a go.
So thatch is no bueno when it comes to a green.
You want a little bit.
A little bit.
Yeah, I mean.
I'm trying.
What's another word for thatch?
Like, give me something.
Organic matter?
Okay.
Okay.
I can't work with that.
Okay.
When you cut the grass, where do the clippings go?
Some of them go down below.
We collect our clippins, but it's just a buildup of organic matter.
Gotcha.
I see.
That makes a lot of sense.
So you're basically trying to almost like thaw out the different layers because they build up because of all the extra bullshit that goes on?
There you go.
That'll help you right there.
Easy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Gotcha.
So vertic cutting.
That's important to keep the greens healthy because if they get all clogged up underneath and around, then when you cut them,
short, they're going to die easier.
Yep, well, keep them smooth, too.
You know, that's what the top dressing is for is get those bumps out, keep them smooth,
rolling true to the ground.
It's funny because I'm from St. Louis.
It gets super hot and humid in the summers there, too.
And it's funny because, like, in the Northeast, where I've lived for the last half of my life,
the greens are always phenomenal in the summertime in the Northeast.
The greens in St. Louis are usually shitty in the summer and much better than spring and in the
fall.
Yeah, I worked in the Boston area for about six years up there on two different courses.
Where?
So I worked in Western Madison, Southwick at the Ranch Golf Club.
Okay.
And then in Boston at Norfolk Golf Club in Westwood.
Okay.
Private nine-hole course.
Very nice, right?
Private nine-hole.
You don't see that that often.
So what's the biggest deterrent for you keeping up speeds?
Is it people walk in?
Is it general growth?
Is it just play and bad weather?
What keeps it from this constant effort?
Oh, it's definitely a little bit of everything,
which you just said.
I mean, we'll get in the summertime down here,
the Bermuda is growing like crazy.
So we use some growth regulators,
try to prevent the growth from obviously coming up as fast
as if you didn't put it on.
So it's keeping it mode low.
Basically, yeah, I'm keeping mode low.
and don't let that, I don't even know, I'm just lost my train of thought just now.
How often do members bitch at you for things that literally you couldn't have possibly done better?
It's a good bit.
I mean, we got, every course has its members that are so-so, but, I mean, every course is 90-year.
You have a dick member.
Yeah, I mean, it's going to happen, but.
Won't you let us know who your dick member is, full name?
Nope.
Social.
Yeah, not happening.
Yeah, everybody we've had calling has kind of at least at some point reference.
Like, yeah, the dick member.
You don't even have to say we have a dick member.
You just say the dick member because every club has one.
Yep, yep.
For the most part, they're pretty damn good down here.
Yeah, Savannah.
I mean, it's a nice, I feel like everybody's always in a good mood in Savannah.
Yeah, why wouldn't you be?
Savannah.
You get to play golf year-round down here.
do all the women wear
white gloves down there
absolutely
oh man it's like a movie
no
shit
Frankie was lying to you
damn
I picture us Savane
I wonder how long
we could have let Frankie believe
I mean you could have told me
like they wear the thing over their eyes
and the whole thing
like in the movies
yeah
I always think of the office
when it comes to
all right well who knows
Savannah seems like the type of city
like has no idea
that's the year 2019
or people do it
it's like a little bit
like Savannah culture
appropriation like anybody who goes down there
dressed like an absolute ass clown to try
to mimic that.
There's a few.
Like when you go to everybody goes to Kentucky Derby.
Correct.
Right?
You wear a giant hat?
That's right.
Like a freakie.
All right.
All right, Kevin.
That's great.
You got any crazy stories?
I've done a lot of crazy stuff on golf courses, man.
I'm putting a roller in the bunker.
I'm putting a cart in a pond.
I could have a member with a boom down on a spraer.
What?
Put a member with a what?
Boom?
With a boom?
Did a hoodoo a what?
And a who?
Imagine a sprayer on a golf court, right?
Okay.
Three booms.
Got the two on the outside that come down and spray.
So I was driving around and I forgot I had one boom down.
I guess I didn't put it up or something.
And I'm driving around.
This member in his wife were about to tee off on a 10th hole.
And I'm driving back to our maintenance building.
And next thing I know, I turn around, they're like screaming.
And this guy's down on the ground.
And his arm's blowing.
bleeding. I'm like, oh, holy shit.
My boom was down, and I just drilled him driving by.
It was insane. I felt like a complete asshole when it happened.
Did you spray him as well?
No.
He's down bleeding, you're just pumping him with this.
Oh, he was a chant, though. He just went to the pro shop, got a band-edad, and went back out and played.
He wasn't going to let that slow him down.
Grass starts, like, growing out of his pores?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
How did you put one in the bunker?
You just miscalculation?
So this is like when I first started rolling greens.
The way of roller works is I got caught on a slope that was going downhill towards that bunker,
and I tried to hit the opposite direction.
And it was just spinning out, and it just kept going down and down and down,
and I just went right into that dang bunker.
Man, it sounds like you're like a golf ball.
Pretty much, yeah.
I bailed off that thing.
Went down a severe slope on a green into a bunker.
Like a ball.
Yep.
Luckily, we were able to get it right back out.
I got to be honest, Kevin.
This is a very informative call.
It was.
The most important tonight.
Yeah.
Without question.
All right, man.
You got some vertical cutting?
Oh, we got some great stories.
We got one guy had a situation there in paling deer on a fence.
Holy shit.
You're telling us, man.
Guess how many before they finally did something about it?
How many?
I have no clue.
So they fenced the property.
protect the golf course from deer to give you a little backstory and this fence was six feet high
there was a little confusion about how tall deer were etc but anyways we didn't actually ask how much
time but i assume they fenced the property the next couple days they went back out checked the fence
and when they checked the fence they found x amount of deer how much how many deer do you think
they found in pale i would only imagine one but the fact that you're saying that you're asking me
a question that's a normal person's a pretty normal person exactly you find more than one now you're
Max 2.
10 to 15.
Now everybody's laughing.
It was a slaughter.
I got yelled at for like snickering at this comment earlier.
And then we restate it.
Tragedy plus time equals comedy.
And now we're about 15.
This is a deer tragedy.
This is a tragedy.
Right.
Also, they say one death is a tragedy.
A million deaths is just a statistic.
So now that we've gotten into the 10 and 15 range, we're laughing at it because it's more of a statistic.
I mean, those deer are pretty much like, what the fuck?
This is our usual place to go, and bam.
Right.
Apparently, too, they don't like, you think they look at their neighbor
impaled on the thing.
I shouldn't try this.
Nope, they just jump right up there.
They have FOMO.
Gone.
There goes my buddy.
One just followed the other.
Oh, look, my buddy's up there hanging out.
Foam.
FOMO deer.
I think that's what separates humans.
That's like what separates humans.
It brings us just a deer for a second.
I mean, you guys posted that video.
Those deer jumping over the bridge on the road just committing suicide.
They all went after another.
Probably all their friends were impaled on the fucking fence.
Oh, man.
Here.
That was a problem.
Problem for them, not a problem for you.
Your problem is green.
All right, Kevin.
Hey, man, we really appreciate the call.
Keep it up down there in Savannah.
Absolutely, guys.
Appreciate you guys.
You guys keep it up, man.
We love listening to you guys.
I appreciate that.
Have a great night.
Enjoy it.
All right, man, take it easy.
Savannah.
Yeah, I just, now I can't stop thinking about what Frankie pictures the South like.
He just thinks it's,
Hasn't changed since 1902.
Savannah.
I picture them all to like in the game that they played in the office when they're, the murder, mystery.
There's been a murder.
There's been a murder in Savannah.
And all the little props they use.
That's what I picture them.
Nice little town.
I was just down there.
Buddy got married in Buford, South Carolina.
Wow.
We landed in Savannah.
Nice spot.
Looks great.
It's nice.
I feel like it's like a Charles town.
Charleston.
Very close.
Very similar.
So that guy mentioned.
something that triggered a little memory in my brain.
We're going to veer a little bit off topic here, but the guy mentioned posting a video.
Now, I learned in the last week or so that our guy, Jake, who's producer Jake, he does
all our behind the scenes work.
He mines for viral content.
We're in the viral golf content game, our 4Play account, especially on Twitter, especially
on Instagram, but on Twitter as well.
We're in the viral golf content game.
That's what we do.
We take funny videos, put captions on, and we post them.
That's kind of part of our game.
That's what we do.
Now, Jake has informed me that this game is ruthless.
People get mad at him in the DMs all the time.
What does this mean?
Jake?
Jake?
Well, I mean, people have called me serious, like, racial slurs in our DMs for not posting their videos and content.
I have not posting or for like stealing.
For not posting.
Like, I literally have a, like, I talk to Riggs about it.
I have screenshots.
I have screenshots of people being.
being mad at me for not tagging them because I posted it and I went back to edit and checked it 15
minutes later and tagged them.
Like, people are like very rude.
I think the worst thing you can actually do now, you can take a lesson from the caddies,
is not addressed that you're actually the person behind the foreplay account.
But now that everybody knows, they can really direct it at you.
Did Jake just come to you like, fucking A man?
Like, I got some shit going on in these DMs.
You're kind of talking about the account because I keep up with them.
Like, if I see a video does really well or something, I'll kind of text me.
Oh, shit, that one did really well, this that.
So we kind of exchanged messages like that.
And he kind of mentioned like, yeah, man,
some people go really crazy about me not posting videos.
That's just wild over here.
I was like, what do you mean?
It's a wild wild wild west in our DMs with these people.
They like fucking yell at Jake if he doesn't post their video.
They like, they like threaten them.
They say really mean shit to him.
It's crazy.
I don't understand that, right?
This happened to me recently with, fuck, I can't remember where it came from,
but something with maybe it was a pizza review.
Maybe it was a piece.
We do so many, we're posting so many places.
I can't remember where.
where it was.
But someone sent the video that I ended up using,
and the guy's message me, he's like,
you're not going to tag me?
I know what it was.
What was it?
It was the Dave getting dragged out.
Dave getting dragged out.
So there was a guy who had another angle, right,
to Dave getting dragged out.
I had the full video.
He had, like, the initial Dave limp legs, whatever.
So I, so the guy messaged me.
He's like, hey, man, like, that video went super viral.
It got, like, 70 million views, whatever.
it was like he's like you and you guys didn't tag me and i said like you posted the video we just
retweeted it and we just like put it out like you you're the one that put it out you didn't send it
to anyone you put it on your twitter tag barcel sports and we just used it like that that was your
choice and second of all what were you going to do with the tag had we tagged you like maybe if you
give me a so like a media company that or if you are a personality on the internet sure i'll tag
you but like this guy was just i don't know or like joe schmoe
He was a restaurateur.
Like, what is he going to do with getting tagged?
And it was it?
It was it going to do?
Repost it.
So he tweeted it.
You guys retweeted it from Barcelona.
His Twitter, his video that he got on his account,
got like 1.7 million views.
Oh, that's great.
That's more than he was.
On his account?
Oh, you're fine.
But it was one of those moments where it was like,
before I had followers or was working at Barstel or whatever,
like that whole world,
what was I going to do with a,
I had 92 Twitter followers
What the hell was I going to do with the fucking?
And then Maxi's going to get like
11 new followers
But what are you going to do with it?
That's what I mean
Those are all robots too
Robots and what do we
What do we owe people?
No people people will be like
You're not going to tag me bro
Like this is my content
I guess
What do you do you think that like
Page Sparanic is going to follow you on
On Instagram because you
Be nice
You know like
Yeah everybody wants a page Pranic follow
Pish Parenthood.
Pich Parenthood.
Now look
If you're, look
I don't want to get this
misconstrued. We give credit
all the time to people. If you make video,
we credit it all that. What I thought was amazing
was people getting mad, like, really pissed at
him when they're like, they always lobby to
have their shit posted. It doesn't post.
And then another thing, this just reminded me of this.
We were in the mud
hard and in the crossfires
of the
environmental
Twitter and Instagram. When we
posted a video of some guy
hitting the golf ball into the Grand Canyon.
Yeah, it was under the Grand Canyon. Come on.
So a guy hits a golf ball into the Grand Canyon.
Very funny video.
Great video.
Pretty wild scenery, all that.
I'm picturing it on my head and I'm laughing.
Yeah, it's a smack.
Grand Canyon, he's standing right on the side of this cliff.
Looks dangerous.
If you, like, slipped or something, gone.
But anyways, hits the ball.
Ball's in the air forever.
It's a good video.
Post it, got a ton of traction.
Anyways, environmental people, we got on, like, somebody,
some very active, popular environmental account must have posted it about it,
a takedown request about us, like go DM and comment on all these people's
on all the boardplay videos because they're evil because the golf ball.
The golf ball going into the Colorado River, whatever goes through there,
or just being in the Grand Canyon in general.
Just bouncing around down there.
I picture it's still bouncing.
Like in the Tiger Woods game, when the ball, you can't get off a hole,
and the ball rolls for a minute.
I picture it just bouncing around and then hitting a camel right in the head.
A camel?
That golf ball.
What do you ride around in the Grand Canyon?
Donkeys?
Donkeys?
You're in the wrong continent.
You'd ride a horse.
I should have said a horse or donkey.
Yeah, a camel.
Anyways.
Camel was a weird choice.
But that was the environmental complaint, right?
The golf ball.
Yeah.
I'm talking.
We couldn't even look at our DMs.
People sending us these long paragraphs.
You went to our comments.
Just hundreds of comments from environmental people calling us the worst people in the world.
They were going to alert the authorities about our perpetration of horrible.
environmental practice. It was incredible.
Me and Jake, we were in Vegas.
It was just nodding in his head and smiling.
Just like, this happens. This happens all the time.
It's a 10,000-yard stare. Yeah, that's what's going on here.
We were in it with environmental Instagram.
We were just, we were public enemy number one for weeks.
I mean, it was, I posted, I remember the exact videos.
I posted one of some dude hitting a golf ball.
It was a beautiful view, and he hit it like over a river.
It was like taken all. It was a beautiful shot.
And I was like, this is so satisfying.
And it got like 500,000 views.
So then I was like, all right, people like this kind of cool scenery.
So I posted another one and then I posted another one.
I woke up in Vegas and I checked the DMs like I do every single morning.
I'm like, Regs and I are about to go get breakfast.
And I see, usually the DMs come in like normal.
If you're a follower, it comes in normal.
And then if you don't want it to do like a request.
We have 50 requests.
And I'm like, oh, accidentally I posted like something wrong on.
like I'm in trouble and I check and it is like Sally Lou just like these like the most white bread granola human beings
sending oh man sending 2,000 word DMs like she's seen us reading these things at breakfast they were those are the longest messages I've ever seen they were talking talk of us about how we need to self reflect if you really think about your character like your approach to the world and the way you view the world and then they would try to like reason with you and then they'd get really mad at you all in the same DM
It was insanity.
Did you find the source of like where yours was shared in a bad spot or like wherever?
So it made a picture like an email that goes out to all these environments.
Yeah, they're on a parade these people.
They posted a picture of a video of a golf ball.
It's like an environmental freak email chain that we're on.
I believe it like made like the Reddit pages.
I tried to track it down.
Oh, like I'm ex-a-posizabeth.
It's exactly what it.
Deep web.
Environmental Reddit was not happy with the 4.
That is a deep web.
you do not fuck with.
That's like we just ignored it.
And we just kept posted nature videos.
Oh, and I didn't respond to them and they kept coming.
They were like, really, you're going to read this and not do anything about it, not take down the video.
So I remember I texted like one of the social media guys and I was like, is it like, are we going to get it taken out?
He's like, no, it's not like bought content.
Like, we just posted a video.
Other people hitting golf ball and we posted it because it's a gorgeous view.
We're golf viral aggregator at times.
Like, we're, of course we're posting these videos.
So it was all time.
We just didn't respond when you should ignore it.
And eventually, I guess it went away.
I don't know if they still chime in.
We should post a couple, kind of see if we get them going.
The interaction.
Get that engagement.
Yeah, we need that engagement.
It was incredible.
But some of these people, yeah, what is it like the, are they like trick-shot people that get mad at you in the DMs?
Yeah, so here's a direct quote, I feel bad for you guys.
You could have, so this guy, he sends us four videos a week.
And I guess he.
And they all stink.
He hits a golf ball in the air and then hits it with a baseball bat.
So I saw that.
We get 200 plus 500 DMs a week.
You just see those videos all the time.
And I ended up posting one like a week and a half later.
Quote, I feel bad for you guys.
You could have posted mine, which has got copied last week.
Dot, LOL, when I sent it to you, but instead go with the beta version.
You're a beta male for being a trick-shot artist.
So like, what are you doing?
Love it.
I agree.
I couldn't agree more.
These guys, they're losing their minds.
They get into this game.
And then like the LOL and like the guy, if you're dropping an LOL and an anger, DM to somebody to an unnamed to a faceless person.
Yes.
Jake in this moment, you got to realize Jake's just a faceless.
That's what I said in the beginning.
He's just, yes, exactly.
He shouldn't even identify himself right now.
He's getting so upset with himself.
He's LOLing out of anger at this faceless Instagram account, which is us.
He's face to face with a four-play logo.
He's like, L-O-L, motherfuckerucker.
L-O-L would put you to add.
You should feel bad.
You should feel bad.
So, yeah, Jake's been in the trenches with these five.
You don't respond to these people, though, right?
No, and I'll give you.
He just reads them, and they know he reads it.
The last one I'll bring up.
This guy hit a golf ball off of a turtle and wanted me to post it,
and his direct comment after I didn't post it, 30 minutes later,
you know I can get mad chicks with a repost smiley face.
Psychotic.
Yeah.
That would get the environment.
I'm actually watching this.
Crazy.
I'm watching it.
If someone took a 56 wedge.
off a turtle's back.
Like, then Frankie did it a little bit?
Yeah.
Well, Frankie'd be good because he just blayed it.
But if it was like a chunk artist, then we'd have a little trouble.
I'd cut that thing in half. What are talking about? It'd be good.
Those things are going extinct.
Do you think I need to be hitting golf balls off of them?
Fucking tortoises.
I'm watching this video for the first time.
I'm watching this video for the first time.
My God, is it thrilling? I mean, he's on the edge of,
he's on the edge of the Grand Canyon Post?
It's a great post. I mean, the guy
I am. The guy totally messed up.
You're not supposed to film the side angle.
that. You're supposed to feel like behind it and watch it go into the Grand Canyon.
Randall-Shambly might think that's the best shot off, long, straight and far.
You also, I mean, imagine watching that video and your thought is like, I got ruined the environment.
By the way.
I never probably like, the ball probably like disintegrates by the time it gets to the bottom.
It's minuscule.
I've never been to the Grand Canyon, but that's just how it is.
There's no, there's no guard rail.
No.
It's awesome.
People dial.
I went to this thing called Horseshoe Bend.
It was another attraction when I went to Arizona to go see the Grand Canyon.
And it was called Horseshoe Bend.
Awesome.
place and you know it's like you just walk up to this little ledge and there's like the river
comes around it's an unbelievable like picturesque place yeah but my tour guide we just had our own
tour guide who was if you ever go to these things get a personal tour guide it's such a you
pay more horseshoe bend and he'll bring it a horseshoe bend and then the grand canyon you're
just driving in like a fucking Chevy suburban or like an escalate it's just you two instead
of like it was just like me and my girlfriend instead of like a huge freaking truck of people just
go out to see the grand can't
Canyon and they're all wearing their shirts and stuff.
Anyway,
this guy was like,
why don't you go to see your Grand Canyon?
You know,
all these people,
they make shirts,
they go to see the Grand Canyon.
Yeah, the Canyon crew.
The family trip 2008.
I always think of,
I mean, Lurch is that type of guy.
Lurch has shown me a picture of the Grand Canyon right now of him there.
And he's just on the ledge.
Arms in the air,
like he won something.
Yeah.
It's a crazy scene.
It's unbelievable.
At Horshoot Bend,
I wanted to go look over the edge,
and my tour guide said,
I'll hold your shirt.
Like lean forward.
No, no.
And I was like, and I looked at him, I said, now, are you fucking kidding?
Good response.
Like, you think I'm going to go lean over the edge?
And I'm going to trust some tour guys who probably hates his life.
And he has to drive these shit people from New York around to go see the water that goes around the desert.
You think I'm going to be the guy that he allows to grab over the ledge so he can just be like, sorry.
Yeah.
Dude, he probably hates his job and hates the people like you who come visit.
And he drops a couple dozen a year.
Well, let's go lean over there and check the bottom.
Why don't you go check what's on the bottom there and I'll hold you.
That's like, that's like Goodfellals.
Like, yeah, no, no, it's just a little further down the street.
That's what that guy's trying to have.
My heart was like, I didn't want to be around the legend.
I said no.
So you just looked over yourself.
I got on my, I got on my ass and I shimmied over and I looked.
That's the play.
And I told me, I said, you stand 10 feet back.
You untrustworthy by the line.
Yeah.
You guys ever seen she's out of my league?
Oh, yeah.
I'm thinking with the shirts
Of the end when they're Bransonbound
Bransonbound
Branson bound
You don't want to be in the mix
With those people

That's why I was like

Total dweeb.

Unreal.
That's a movie for me.
And he's got his buddies.
They like ride on the TSA, the baggage cart.
That's like their big getaway for work.
Love it.
Yeah, that's awesome.
All right.
Sam, what's up?
Hey, what's going on?
How are you?
Good.
How are you?
Doing well.
You're on with all the boys.
You're Canadian.
Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct.
So you're a super?
up there?
Super, yeah.
A lot of assistant supers we've been talking to.
They're proud to say it, too.
They're not going to take their boss man's, you know, his title.
Yeah, but how come none of our listeners can get over the hump here?
I think we're in a good spot getting the guy right above the big guy or right under the big guy.
You get better stories, I think.
All right.
Do you want to preface them and just say maybe don't share everything?
Yeah.
So we're kind of trying to save people if you have, if your story in any way is edgy or, I don't know, whatever you want to call it.
Yep.
Then don't say which club.
work at because you already gave your name so we don't want you to get in trouble right right
I don't know if you're not really that edgy more like uh like a wildlife story I guess oh and here
in Canada you guys are so nice to each other nobody's gonna fire you so you'd be fine yeah I'll be
fine I'll be fine so um what happened hit me yeah so uh I'm from Vancouver pretty big city and uh
I got a job in Camlis which is the club I'm working at now and uh it's my first my
first summer up there.
I'm not really used to seeing like wildlife and whatever.
So as the assistant superintendent kind of do like pins and stuff in the morning,
I'm the last guy to go on the, on every hole.
And I'm going down number six, finish the pin walk out.
There's a black bear in my cart.
So I kind of start freaking out of it.
And I've really seen a bear.
And start like kind of trying to sneak by.
guy, he gets out of my cart, I kind of get back into the cart, rip up to the pro shop, talk to the guy in the pro show.
I'm like, hey, there's like bears out here. And he's like, yeah. So then I kind of wanted them to call the,
like, animal control or whatever. And he's like, well, we could call him, but he's going to shoot the bear.
So I didn't really know what to do.
Went into the, went back to the shop and talked to the mechanic. He's a big, burly guy, probably like six, six, six, five.
250
and he
he thinks he's the toughest guy in the world
so where he gets in the
he's like all right let's go for a ride
get in the car he goes out to
I don't know what he was going to do
like wrestle the bear or something
and
bear turns he gets out
kind of walks up to it like he's like I'm going to kick
this bear in the ass so he goes
walks up to it
the bear kind of turns around
and looks at him
and he just
He's like, oh shit, starts running away.
Bear kind of chases him, and then we're, like, kind of freaking out
because the bear's, like, waddling back, but not really moving slow.
And so he jumps in the car, and I just kind of hit the gas, like, towards the bear.
Bear jumps out of the way and just, like, kind of sprints off the course.
It was the scariest, scariest, the scariest thing that I was.
Your buddy, your mechanic, I got to say, did.
I think everything you're not supposed to do.
Yep.
He thinks he's toughest guy in the world.
I'm going to go up to this black bear.
I'm going to kick him right in the ass.
There's an expression.
They say don't poke the bear, and this guy did the literal opposite.
I don't even agree with your approach in the beginning.
So you're telling me the bear was in the cart.
It kind of got out of the cart, and then you're like, oh, I'm just going to sneak in there
and, like, take the cart away.
Why didn't you just get out of way in the first place?
Like, have the car.
Well, like, I waited for, like, a couple minutes, and he kind of got out of the cart and walked, like, 10 feet.
I was like, okay, this is kind of chill.
It wasn't like a grizzly bear or anything.
It was black bear.
Not a big deal.
They're decently tame.
They're decently tame.
Like, you know, he wasn't facing me, so it's gone in the card and kind of ripped away.
Yeah, no, they do say you're not supposed to run away from me.
Your buddy literally tried to poke it and then just ran away.
What are you supposed to do when you're approached?
So if it's a black bear, you're supposed to look big, as big as you can.
Because a black bear is not nearly as big as a grizzly bear?
Or aggressive?
Or, well, they can climb trees.
People, those are the ones that climb trees.
But anyways, they're more likely to look at you if you present a threat as not worth it because, you know, they can't get hurt.
If they get hurt, they die because they can't hunt, they can't eat dead.
So you're supposed to, like, look big and kind of like growl back at it.
So you're like, you're going to be a fucking problem.
Whereas a grizzly bear, you want to act dead because a grizzly bear is so big, it doesn't matter how tough you act or look.
The thing could just destroy you.
I think I was 100%.
screw that up. I'd be like, oh, that must be,
that must be like the opposite of what I'm supposed to do,
and I'd act big in front of the one that's going to attack me.
Yeah, the grizzly would just... Can you imagine actually being
in front of them and then doing those things?
No. No. Can you imagine acting dead?
Correct.
That's why I ran away,
because I was like... How many people you actually
think have survived by, like, just
going dead? Well, a lot, because a lot
of these people who are huge nature freaks, hiking
freaks that, like, actually practice
this stuff and take it very seriously.
And there's a lot of stories of them,
The bear even gnawing on people a little bit,
and the people just keep acting dead,
and then they just have like a beat-up leg or something,
and the bear eventually, like, the bears don't like humans.
They really aren't going to eat humans for the most part.
So they'll kind of like, whatever.
Their first instinct might be to, like, hit you because that's just what they do.
And they might take a little nibble or something,
be like, you're not good, and then leave.
Imagine the adrenaline.
How do you act dead while it's nibbling on you?
How do you act?
It seems like you're going to be presented with the situation
much more than we are.
We live in a city, buddy.
They're like in your car and shit, so you should study up about this.
Don't ask us the question.
Why are we teaching you about the bear?
I don't know.
Teach me more, though.
I need all the advice I can get, I guess.
All right, Sam, we appreciate the call.
We're glad that nothing happened to you.
I wouldn't have hated it.
It's something to happen to your idiot mechanic.
He's a lunatic, so I'm sure he'll have it coming.
Tell him he's not as tough as he thinks.
We appreciate the call.
All right.
Thanks, guys.
See, later.
Imagine the rush people must get, if they have ever encountered.
a bear and did the act big thing and the bear runs away, you got to feel like the, you know,
the baddest man on the planet.
Yes.
I've seen a bear in the wild.
What did you do?
I have to.
So it was very interesting.
So we were, we did this unbelievable trip.
I've said this for my dad, my brother, huge outdoorsmen.
They love fishing all that.
I like being outdoors a lot.
I think it's great.
I'm not a great fisherman.
I'm not that into it.
When we go do it, fine.
But I always need help.
Like, there'll be fly fish and I just do it.
a spinner rod because like I'm just I don't I'm not that talented I only have so much patience I
usually just like to drink and be outside which is cool but anyways we did this crazy trip to
uh northern British Columbia like right after I graduated college or right after I graduated high
school and we're out we're doing this crazy fishing trip we're on all these ponds out in these
remote woods wilderness and the mountains in northern British Columbia it's like the northern
and like Rockies.
And everywhere we go, we have to make a ton of noise so you don't see any bears.
We see bear tracks everywhere.
We see like dead salmon that have been completely picked clean by the grizzly bears.
You can tell.
This is like grizzly bear country.
And we don't see any while we're actually walking around fishing.
However, we did part of it.
We like canoed down like a river, a pretty serious river.
And we see on the side hill, like right off the river.
at one point and we're cruising down towards it
just a massive grizzly bear
massive just kind of chilling
on the side of the river
we're going towards him and luckily our guy finds out he's like you're downwind
so he won't be able to smell us when we go by
so everybody just be quiet be still
and we're going to go by me we're moving to a decent pace
but I mean these fuckers can swim and it wasn't like the deepest river if he really
wanted to he kind of come out and kill all of us and we
cruised right by him for I mean it probably took from like the first moment we
saw him till we couldn't see him anymore it was
probably like three or four minutes.
And how far away?
Like, would you say?
I would say we were maybe like 40 yards away from him towards the end.
Like when we got really close and then as we got fur-
So something was just sparked in him.
He could have turned around and just jetted for you.
Oh, yeah.
Easily.
Oh, yeah.
This motherfucker was massive.
Like, part of you always thinks if I got attacked by a creature.
Like, I understand they're big and they're supposed to be really scary and all that.
But, like, I could at least survive.
This thing was.
massive. We had a crew of like six of us.
Could have killed all of us and not even...
I mean, we wouldn't even have wounded them.
No.
Massive. It was amazing.
So don't fuck with bears.
Bears are incredible.
They're scary.
But they're incredible.
They are. But they're scared.
They're just absolutely beast.
It's weird that we have this connotation of like a teddy bear.
You know, where they're like nice and fit.
That's not.
When you look at a grizzly bear, it's like a cute little...
I mean, look.
Not real life they ain't.
That's cute?
That's maybe the scariest picture I've ever seen of anything.
Yeah, a weird definition of cute.
cute there, Frank.
I don't know.
It's like a little chubby.
I get that they're like soft looking, but...
Do you want to hug them?
I'm saying little.
I know.
I don't like have a good gauge of just how big they are in terms of like standing next to something.
Like remember that video that came out a couple months ago of a moose walking down the street and an SUV drove up next to it?
And like there was a huge clearance of where the moose was and where the car was.
That gave me an idea of how big moose are.
I don't really have that with bears.
Yeah, bears when they stand up on their hind legs, do massive.
Moose are absolutely massive.
Huge.
I saw, actually, I was in Canada.
Fly fishing, like to do it.
What does that mean you like to do?
You do it often?
My grandfather, we used to call him trapper, real outdoorsman.
What a name.
Yeah, great name.
But he used to take us, like, out and do all these things.
He had bear traps, all sorts of things.
He actually called me savage, which was.
Oh, trapper and savage?
Trapper and called me savage.
Is that how much?
Do you want us to call you savage?
I mean, it's not the worst nickname I've ever gotten.
Okay.
But speaking of moose, we were driving out into the bush, as they call it, near the Miramishie River.
It's a great term out to the bush.
Yep, it really is.
Anyways, a motorcycle was ripping, well, we didn't see it, but ripped by us, and then we pulled up to these copsters the whole thing.
Basically, a motorcycle was ripping down, ran into the belly of the moose.
What?
The human being was concaved into the ribs of the moose.
I'm dead.
Moose was dead as well.
And they fell.
Person was dead?
Person was dead.
The motorcycle went clear under the moose and was like six, seven hundred yards down the road.
So the bottom of the moose?
Bottom of the moose caught the body.
Oh my gosh.
What?
Motorcycle was six, seven hundred yards down the highway.
And so then from then on, my brother and I, as we're driving, because the roads are kind of built up.
So I think maybe it's the plow or so that like the rain and snow will fall off to the side.
we're like looking for moose because as you're driving in the night
what you want to target is actually the moose eyes off to the side of the road
in case they come across because you'll see like moose crossings etc when you're driving up there
so when your headlights shine forward you're actually looking for moose eyes off to the side of the road
because it drops off six seven feet so you can just see their face interesting yeah
this is so much information that you need to know just to like get around these areas
I guarantee not everyone knows this stuff I would never know to look for moose eyes
you some hiking trips.
So I did 200 miles out west around the four corners,
and we did all sorts of CPR training.
Like if you encounter bears where you should put your meals at night,
if you should throw it like pull them up on trees so they don't like smell them on the floor.
Yeah, you got to do that too.
There's all sorts of stuff.
But grizzly bears have been pushed up more into Canada,
so they're not as like prevalent down the four corners where we were.
This is why I stay on Long Island.
It's fun.
It's fun. It's fun to get out in the bush.
Out of the bush.
It's a cocky term.
It's a cocky term.
Say the bush is a cocky term.
I'm going to try to stop saying.
it. No, I want you to keep saying it.
I think you're saying. I mean, it's a great term.
I'd use the shit out of it if I was able to.
All right, we got one guy left.
Let's go to Matt. Matt, what's going on?
Hold on one second. Matt is actually putting our toddler to bed.
Oh, no problem.
It's incredible.
Yeah, yeah. I love everything that's happening.
Yeah, it'd be on hold. So he had the wife's on hold for like, what, 45 minutes.
He's like, I want to stay on the show.
An hour and 13, an hour and 13 minutes.
Wow. We kind of lost track of time.
He put his kid to bed. Is that what's going on?
Yeah. What a guy.
Hey, no worry, guys. Hold on one second. Here's Matt.
Thank you very much. What an introduction.
Matt, are you there? Welcome, welcome. Hello, Matt. I mean, unbelievable introduction.
What a guy. What's up, Matt? I'm glad I had a good introduction.
How are you're doing? Just a great, unbelievable introduction. What a good family man you are.
Thanks. What's going on? Where are you, so where you work and what do you do?
So I work in Savannah.
I will say the name of club, depending on the way this conversation goes.
Smart.
I've got some stories that I've already gotten in trouble for chirping the sweater folders before on Twitter.
Smart.
Very smart.
So we had a guy, do you know Kevin by chance?
He's a superintendent.
I do know Kevin.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, this is great already.
This is the best conversation so far.
I imagine it is.
We had some interesting question.
We also kept saying to Kevin.
Savannah.
Savannah.
Oh.
Did you hear that little whistle I did with you?
Yeah, where'd that whistle come from?
I can sometimes do it.
Savian.
You get the Yankee accent.
Oh.
Yeah.
Kind of fired back at you there.
So what kind of crazy-ass superintendent stories you got?
I don't know.
I mean, I got guys that, like, jump off a golf carts and grab armadillos.
They hog time live, and then they bring them in for breakfast the next morning.
Pretty good start.
I mean, that's incredible.
The first three things you said there, did, if you would have given me a billion dollars to say,
where is this going to end?
I would never would have said.
Then they bring him in for breakfast next morning.
No story ends like that.
I have come in to a guy sitting at a table in the morning, like, sucking the stuff out of the head of a small animal, a little rabbit.
Come on.
Just played nine holes.
Weird.
He jumped off the top of a golf cart.
Trapped the rabbit.
Now I'm sucking the brains out of it.
It's been a death-heavy show.
This guy used to run the rabbits down.
He's a quick dude.
I've come around the corner,
like hold the baby deer.
This guy running rapid.
How fast we're talking and should it be in the Olympics?
Like, what are we dealing with here?
I mean, he could be on the Mexican Olympic team, I think.
Has he ever heard of a gun?
He's not that kind of guy.
He's not going to golf course.
Rock.
Like, he doesn't need no gun.
He approaches his, he has a sandwich in his hand.
He's looking at how much yardage he has to the green.
He looks down at the ball.
He sparks.
A sprinkle in his eye goes in the top right corner.
He sees a bunny rabbit.
He's like, I'm going to get that fucking thing.
He drops the club and just sprints dead for it.
And catches it.
And no one in the group even questions him because they know that's what he does.
Tim, he's got a rabbit.
He's got a guy working.
No golfer.
This guy couldn't play golf.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So he's a worker.
So he works out there with this.
He's like on the maintenance group?
He's on the maintenance crew.
He's got, you know, a Mexican guy.
He's some food.
He's going to grab and eat it.
So he jumps off his little tractor as like just starts chasing rabbits?
Yeah.
I want to cite that must be.
I have a super fast.
Pretty good hire.
He's pretty fast.
He's caught, let's see, baby geese, baby deer, squirrels.
You're getting salty.
I have a question for you.
Because you're a super?
Are you a super or an assistant super?
We've gotten a lot of assistants.
So I was a superintendent.
I hated it.
And now I'm kind of like an assistant guy that is also going to school to be a nurse.
What's the most important thing that a student?
thing that a super does when he goes into work each day?
Like, what is the one, what's the number one thing?
Usually, everyone that goes into work, they have, like, their most important thing
they have to do that day.
What's the most important thing a super at a golf course has to do?
I mean, keeping a team motivated is probably one of the biggest.
You've got a bunch of guys that aren't making a whole lot of money,
and you're asking them to do it a whole hell of a lot,
and it's hard to keep guys working hard for you and keep them coming to work.
That makes sense.
Especially since they see that, usually the guy will be, like,
riding around a golf cart, you know, sometimes they have a dog, right?
I know that's a super move.
A dog, maybe a roof and a windshield, you know, like rain and the colds.
These guys are.
Yep, that's right.
They see these guys just in the fields, like, what the fucking, in the rakes, in the sand traps.
That's a horrible feeling right there.
Right.
You don't ever see them really do anything because all the stuff is, like, office work and budget work
and garbage, not fun stuff, answering emails and phone calls.
That's why I hated it.
Matt, when you were in the superintendent game, how much did you guys hate geese?
so much
they're the worst
they shit everywhere
they eat everything
that's why we have this mexia
like chasing down
yeah the fast guy
yeah
and you can't like
go out there and shoot them and stuff
so people get upset
they like to feed the geese
get the members
they're like throwing bread to the geese
and then complaining about them
eating the grass
so you can't shoot them
but you can chase him down and kill them
correct
well he takes them home
and raises them
and then kills them.
Killing later.
That's right.
That's quote-unquote raising them.
It's clear that this guy needs to be checked out.
He's clearly, like, on his way to becoming a serial killer.
Yeah.
He takes the geese home.
I mean, he chases...
You ever had fresh goose?
What does his house look like?
He's got, like, just dead rabbits and geese all over the place?
No, I want to try it.
Yeah, I guess he eats them, though.
So, I mean, you know, it's gone.
Have you ever tried goose or geese?
Goose?
I have.
They tried to give me to eat the armadillo.
That wasn't happening.
That's not my thing.
How good is goose?
I know like duck's really good.
Yeah.
It's okay.
It's the same as a duck.
It's very greasy.
It depends on how you cook it.
What's the number one enemy to a golf course for a super?
Is it like what's the predator to a golf course?
Is it geese?
Golfers?
Oh.
Good answer.
That's a good answer.
That's a great answer right there.
What's the dumbest thing golfers do?
Like, what's the most annoying thing golfers do?
Drive all over the place, like, on par threes and stuff,
when, like, international rule is don't drive on par threes, right?
Like, you guys know that.
Oh, yeah.
Very familiar with that.
Also have done that many times.
Of course.
That's why you guys are the greatest enemy.
It'll be like that forever.
I mean, we're just, right?
I know.
We're all just natural enemies with each other.
Well, you know, when you go, like, perks, you play for free,
you don't play when it's carp, ball and stuff like that.
I don't drive places I'm not supposed to, but, you know, it's cool.
Were you ever in charge of placing the pins for, like, a tournament that was happening at your country club?
Do it all the time.
So did, like, knowing who was playing in it ever affect where you put the pins?
I always wondered that.
Absolutely.
Oh, very nice.
So, like, if you knew that there was a guy, like, a real dick that you knew, like, thought he had a chance that day,
you'd put it in just, like, right behind the bunker that you usually hit.
Yeah, you tuck them close.
Stick it right.
Right on the edge, right behind a box.
And you know he's out there being like, this bastard put it there.
I know he did.
Oh, yeah.
Sure.
Okay.
I love that.
They see me cut in the cups.
You know, you go by nine or the club out, give him a little wave.
It's like politics in that way, right?
Because if you're about to play a tournament at your local country club and you know the guy who's about to be putting the pins there, like maybe you church them up a little bit.
You say, how are you doing this morning?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I like that.
I like the politics behind that.
That's very interesting.
That's all I've got.
That's the only way I can get back.
That's your power.
Yeah.
I love that.
I think it's great.
I love everything about it.
I would love to have that power.
Yeah, that's nice.
I mean, you got to exert it whenever you can in that situation.
That's how you get it.
That's how you get them.
You get every single one of them.
Everybody's got to go to the same home.
All right, Matt.
Well, look, we really appreciate the call.
We appreciate, I assume it was your wife who kind of held the phone for you for a while.
She seemed like a sweetheart.
My wife.
So, she's nice.
So, yeah, tell your family.
You know, I hope everybody has a great night.
I hope everybody's doing well.
Appreciate it.
Good night to little cowboy, too.
You guys make it down to the low country ever.
come play some golf.
The low country.
Love that.
That's, I mean, we got to get down there.
The Savannah Bluffton Low Country.
That's a great town.
I got to get to the low country.
I get to the, what is it?
The Bush.
The Bush.
The Bush.
The Bush.
The Bush.
The Bush.
Yeah, Savannah's skyrocketed up on our short list.
Good.
Come down here, man.
We got good golf courses.
All right, man.
Matt, we appreciate it.
Have a great night.
All right.
You too, man.
See you later.
See you.
Bye.
Hour and 13 minutes.
He's on hold.
Got to put a little cowboy to bed.
That was I put a little cowboy?
Yeah.
Oh.
Which is really nice.
That's really nice.
I missed that.
His name's a little cowboy.
Well, yeah.
Well, she said,
he's like,
he's just putting a little cowboy to bed.
Your accent's awful.
All right.
She didn't sound anything like that.
Yeah,
you just savanted her without her actually sounding like it.
She was like,
oh, yeah, he's putting a little cowboy to bed.
Yeah, that's exactly what she sounded like.
Little cowboy to bed.
We have some ice tea.
All right.
Well, I mean, I will say these things.
these are great.
These are just a great.
This is a great way to do podcasting.
They're fun.
Getting these stories from these folks mixing it up with them.
That's why we do this.
It's been that too.
You know, that was a good hour and a half.
Didn't think it was that long in real life.
No.
It goes by very quickly.
Only thing that makes me think it was that long is that I've been looking at food for the last two hours.
You're starving.
I have to be.
I've been looking over Frankie's screen and more than once he's Googled, what should I eat tonight?
There's some good websites.
There's some good websites out there.
If you type in, what should I eat tonight?
They'll be like, are you hungry?
These are some options for you to eat.
And you just go through them.
Like, if you're in the moon for a burger, you can have this type of burger.
And you're like, oh, maybe I am in the move for a burger.
We used to call that food masturbating out in the bush.
Ooh, in the bush.
Because you just used to tuna, used to be like shitty granola, powdered milk, all things that suck.
So when you like...
You're in the bush for so long?
Well, yeah, I was out there for 30 days straight.
30 days in the bush?
30 days is straight.
The bush seems like it could change a person.
It could change a person.
Oh, shit.
That's too long.
You win?
And then I did like, I guess, two different trips out east that did the last 100 mile of wilderness on the Appalachian Trail.
And then we did some sea kayak.
I'm convinced if someone gave me right now 20 grand cash and said, you got to go to the bush for 30 days, I wouldn't do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think I would either.
I think that may be my limit, though.
If you give me 30, I'm like, all right, $1,000 a day, I can probably do it.
I think I would do it.
30 days in the bush?
I mean, 30 grand?
And I just come back and everything's the same.
I don't know if I survive in the bush.
After taxes,
big, that's a huge difference.
Yeah, huge, yeah.
Well, we live in New York City.
Taxes are crazy.
You're getting 30 stacks cash.
30K.
Yeah, I'm going to take a trade.
You did it with the big savage.
I'm talking about me.
I can't survive in the bush.
Now I'm thinking about what's my life worth.
Apparently 30 grand.
All right.
We'll be back.
I think that's it.
We'll be back next week.
We, you know, we've had a hot start to the year with guests.
We had Justin Thomas, of course.
We had Bubba Watson.
It feels like that long ago.
We had Bryson D. Chambot on the show who still buries Frankie on social media all the time.
He liked my, I think, so what did you write on Instagram?
Oh, okay.
I know what you fucking wrote.
The look on Riggs's face right on.
Bryson put up a picture of him.
Bryson put up a picture of himself signing little children's hats and golf gloves and stuff.
And Riggs wrote it's just a bunch of little Frankie Burrellys.
And I now that one cut deep
Which is what I wrote
I said this cuts deep
Because on very on many levels
Oh no
On very many levels
That's like he's not only saying
That Bryson is my daddy
But he's saying I look like a little child
Both
So Bryson liked both comments
Yeah
He first he liked
Riggs and I was like
Okay and then he just like
And then I wrote this cuts deep
Immediately like from Bryson
Immediately
That's just the setup Spike Brickett
And he doesn't even respond
He just like
Alright
I thought you were sending yourself
up for this cut steep, I thought he's going to respond with something.
Yeah. No, I wish he would.
Just like you and you try to chip or something like that.
Right. Right. I wish he would, but he does it like even more, he does even more deep where he like lets me know that he's there watching, but he doesn't care enough to respond.
Wow. Which is even worse. I mean, he's in your kitchen. He's been your kitchen for a long time now.
But we had Bryson. We had Kevin Chappell. We had Wesley Bryan. We had Danielle Kang, the People's Women's Gopher, who's one of our favorites, David McClay, kid.
We've had just, we had Kevin Nah, who was great.
We've had just a crazy start to guess.
This week we got back to our roots where we just chopped it up, just the crew.
We've had now two shows where we've had a bunch of call-ins and whatnot.
We are getting back to some guests again next week.
We have big guests coming up.
There's a lot of good stuff.
So stick with us.
We'll be back Tuesday, two shows next week.
Hit it hard.
Hit it hard.
Hit it hard.
