Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It is Thursday. It is December 3rd, 2020. Boys, in an interesting time, we just had maybe the longest pre-show meeting that we've ever had in the history of our show. There's a lot going on. We've got these scrambles coming up in Arizona. I'm out in Arizona. I'm in Scottsdale.
Starting point is 00:00:25 COVID numbers are spiking. People don't know if they want to travel. What's going to happen? There's panic all over. So we're just trying to figure things out. We will keep folks updated on our scheduling. We're supposed to have three four-man scramble matches, pretty much a week from when this podcast comes out.
Starting point is 00:00:40 We're planning to have those, but we are also with the understanding that things can change this year. There's a lot of crazy shit happening in the world. And so, again, just please stay tuned for programming updates. That is the current plan. We will see what happens. We're also just battling over some logistics behind the scenes. got our good friends at Whoop, who we love. We're all wearing Whoop bands. And I guess we read
Starting point is 00:01:04 about a deal that was going on on Cyber Monday, but our show goes out on Tuesday. I don't know whose fault that is. But if you did not get that deal, please contact Whoop, tell them, hey, I listen to Foreplay. I love Foreplay. Fourplay is one of my favorite shows. We see you guys tweeting us on Spotify, or tweeting out your Spotify, you know, most listened. We appreciate the shit out of that. And we understand that you guys grind through ad reads. You love the content. You're willing to do it. you're willing to support our sponsors. And then if we tell you something, you're not able to get that, that makes us feel like shit. You should be able to get the deal that we said you're going to get.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So do yourself a favor. Contact. We'll tell them, hey, I'm listening to the show. And that's the deal. And if that blows back on us or we have things to deal with an R-N, we're just trying to do the best thing for the listener. For all you folks who help us pay the bills, who buy our merch, by the way, Black Friday through Cyber Monday. We fucking killed it. Dave says this all the time, but we reiterate it to you folks that are listening if you're not familiar with this.
Starting point is 00:01:57 But merch is quite literally what keeps Barstool of Barcelona. It's what keeps foreplay, foreplay. Our ability to say whatever the hell we want, to be honest, to be raw, to defend our opinion and not have to worry or own up to pretty much anybody is done largely through our selling of merchandise. Because if somebody at Barcelona says something controversial or somebody's in the news or somebody's under fire and sponsors get a little nervous or to guess what we can just sell merchandise.
Starting point is 00:02:23 And when we sell merchandise, that keeps the lights on. That keeps the salaries paid. keeps our travel bills and our rental cars paid so that we can continue to go out and do what we do. So you guys coming through on Black Friday all throughout the weekend, all day Cyber Monday and buying merch, massive for us. We fucking appreciate it. Foreplay did incredibly well. We work hard to put out as much gear as we can, some more affordable gear that you can get. If you're a college student and some more higher-in stuff, if you've got kind of the cat to get out there and get the highest-quality stuff, we try to provide as much of it as you possible.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I think we're selling stuff for as cheap as like eight bucks. That's sports that goes a long way for us. If you don't understand everything works behind the scenes. Okay. We're trying to do a golf podcast. We got a bunch of from the galleries. People send us quite a few notes about, hey, I really appreciate the interviews. I like learning about this person, that person, getting this question answered, that experience that person had.
Starting point is 00:03:15 But what I really come for is you four idiots, just going back and forth, roasting each other, chirping each other, bitching about each other's golf games, whatever the hell it might be. And this is going to be one of those shows. We've had a ton of guess over the last like 10 episodes, I feel like. This is just we're going to rip through a bunch of questions, a bunch of debates, a bunch of hypotheticals that you guys sent in from the gallery. You know, that's what it's called. Speaking of from the gallery, we had behind the greens, Wiz Khalifa just tried to cut up. What the fuck was that?
Starting point is 00:03:42 Well, wait. Do you know who, you know who Whiscleaf is? Obviously, Taylor Gang. Yeah. And he took, he grabbed. A little, little, little, little, little, put it out first. little fucking like 13 year old 14 year old white kid frankie burrell used to bump black and yellow back in the day i mean just fucking i used to wear my fucking like different like baseball hats i used to have
Starting point is 00:04:06 like an Atlanta Braves hat and i just you know i was learning how to drive a car maybe 15 years old like with a permit and i just blast talbot gang just black and yellow black and yellow that was uh i was obviously from iowa and i'm an iowa hawkite fan and that was a huge song on Saturday mornings when there was a football game, the bars would just blast black and yellow because those are our colors. And Wiz Khalifa made a popular song with those lyrics. I love Wiz Khalifa. I think he's great.
Starting point is 00:04:35 But he did steal R&A. Oh, Wiz Khalifa about eight hours ago tweets out, well, from when we're recording this, tweets out, check out the new series I just dropped called Behind the Greens. And obviously the first time I saw it, Riggs texted me, we have a problem. He tweeted at me. I said, what the fuck is this? I've now replied to his tweet with just our behind the greens from Wingfoot. I think that the cross,
Starting point is 00:05:00 the people that are viewing that tweet have no fucking idea what my video is because they're going there for behind the greens for anyone that doesn't know is our video at Wingfoot, but also now it's Wiz Khalifa rolling joints, right, and smoking weed. So I think those two worlds don't usually clash. I think we have a great opportunity here to bring the world together. the winged foot golf course like maintenance crew and the Wiz Khalifa like behind the greens rolling papers crew is a very, very funny. Man, I'm just like, imagine some high as a kite motherfucker stumbled upon that being like, now what is wing foot?
Starting point is 00:05:40 What is the what the fuck are they talking about here? And I like it. I think it's a very smart move, Frankie. You hit them with like a while you're here, check out by SoundCloud move. And I think that's going to get us a little. a little spike. What's funny is my behind the greens is very, very, is like, is good viewing for someone that's high.
Starting point is 00:05:59 It's like very, what's the word I'm looking for? It's, um, satisfying. Satisfying. It's satisfying. And it's like, um, it's like what? They do what to the grass? Like you're like the slow motion shots of the grass. Oh, you see what they did with the grass.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Oh, look at how they cut the hole in the ground. If, if we even get one little interaction, like a quote tweet from WIS, being like, what are you guys? You know how many followers he has. 32 million. Early internet, like early, very popular. Like, if you guys had to guess how many Twitter followers he has, what would you say? I'm going to say 36 million because I'm looking at it.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I will say I clicked on it and I gasped. I did that a couple hours ago or an hour ago. I looked at it and I gasped. I thought maybe he'd have a couple million. 36 million is a stunning number. Yeah, and then 31 million on Instagram. So if we can just mix it up with Wiz for a couple tweets, couple Instagrams that would we'd be able to at least pull a couple people into our world and they
Starting point is 00:06:55 would stick her out really wish you would have retweet her been like this is mine now like like like it would have been my last behind the greens ever but we would have went out with a bang yeah right he would have just took the brand after that it would have just been his but it would have been worth the followers huge opportunity for me to just insert with califa in the next episode like somehow that's what i was going to say i was get them in you got to recruit them you got to have them narrate something or like fucking errate a green or do something we now take you to behind the green episode two with whiz califa and he's just sitting on a green rolling a joint like i think that's a great opportunity so hopefully hopefully that works out for us uh while we're here let me tell you about
Starting point is 00:07:36 our friends owen mixers all right these are one of our big supporters we spoke a lot of the beginning of the show about how important it is that we have supporters we have folks who get behind what we do Owens is number one when it comes to that. They create mixers that you pour in with liquor. I have to, but typically you pour it in with liquor. A little drink. That's it. It's that simple.
Starting point is 00:07:55 We like to drink. We like having a nice cocktail. It goes great with golf. People have little drinks on the course all the time. It's one of the main things that we discuss on this very show in our videos. You'll see us sipping little cocktails here and there. Owens is the answer right now. They came in.
Starting point is 00:08:10 They saw that it was old, that it was outdated, the mixer game. And they whipped into shape several really, really, really good flavors, including the barstole transfusion that you just pour in and you have yourself an awesome cocktail. You can get it on Amazon now. So check that out. Amazon's very simple. They've got, I believe, if you're an Amazon Prime member, one day ship anywhere in the country, it's perfect for the holiday season for stocking stuffers, for any golf enthusiasts.
Starting point is 00:08:37 So you can go to Owensmixtures.com if you want, or you can simply go to Amazon. If you're an Amazon Prime member, boom, you got that puppy coming to you in one. One day, you're welcome anywhere in the country. Owens Mixers, Owens Mixers, Owens Mixers, Owens Mixers. Thank you guys for all of the support. Travel show, the Roo Cup, round two. Trent really just completely dominated that day. Peninsula Kingswood, gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Golf course, glass, greens, absolute glass. Things I cannot, I could not remember how fast those things were. And when I saw, I remember that we were hitting putts by the second or third hole that we played, thinking in our brains, okay, dickhead, hit everything long, hit this like six feet. short and they were still going 10 feet past the hole all day long. Yeah, it was one of those things where, and I don't know, the whole trip is kind of just like a distant memory, but as soon as I saw it and kind of reviewed it with eBug, I was like, oh my God, I remember how fast these greens were.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It felt like you'd put up hill and be like, all right, I do have to put a little something on this to get at the hole. And it would just blow by seven feet. It was insanely fast. And then my favorite thing really about the green complexes were that bunkers were just cut out into the green itself. and there was no fringe, no nothing protecting, you just putting it into the next bunker.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Like, it was incredible how well manicured and maintain that golf course was. Yeah, I mean, I called the hole. I said, I kept calling the holes an asshole. I kept calling the holes an asshole. I called myself an asshole. But it was, I mean, it was a great. It was a great day for me for a long time. I, you know, finally a video where it looks like I'm not the worst golfer on planet
Starting point is 00:10:07 earth. That's really what I'm going for. And I had a couple moments in that video that were just A plus. So, yeah, it's a great video. And like you said, Lurch, Australia is a bit of a distant memory for us because it was so long ago. But it's cool to go back. Like, we're not viewing it for the first time because we were obviously there and we remember things. But watching the videos again, it's like, oh, I remember I had forgotten about this shot.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I'd forgotten about this putt. So it was cool to go back and watch it again. Yeah, I was thinking about the teams because we were on the 2K live stream last night when Lurch, Frankie and myself, played Peninsula Kingswood. And I think I shot 48 over for two rounds of golf. We were discussing the dichotomy of the teams. And a lot of people weigh in. They're like, why did you guys go with those teams and with the handicat?
Starting point is 00:10:51 And I actually think for pretty much every reason you could come up with, those should always be the teams. Like myself and Trent and how different personality-wise we are on the golf course. And then Lurch and Frankie and how kind of add each other's throats you guys are all the time to the point where like you're trying to high-five each other after shots. and then both going back to the camera solo and being like that fucking guy doesn't have any chemistry like whatsoever. And then while having chemistry as a team was so fucking good.
Starting point is 00:11:22 It just made me laugh out loud the whole time. Yeah, Lurch is a roller coaster of a partner because like you want to, you want to, you want to dislike him because of just like his presence and like his cockiness and him being Lurch. But then also he's very, very down to earth and gets you going and wants you to succeed.
Starting point is 00:11:45 So it is, I mean, Lurch is, he's a one of a kind kind of person. Like he, he's just, that's just what he is. It's a roller coaster amount of feedback too. That just is a whole over the place in terms of what you were really giving me there. In the end, I think it's a compliment. I think I do like having Lurch as a partner in golf. I think he makes, because I am a nightmare when it comes to my mental, like, stability. And he somehow taps into like, no, just like do it this way.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Like, why are you thinking too much? He kind of talks to me like I'm five. Like, why are you trying to do that? Just hit it out into the fairway. You're fine. And I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. I think Lurch has an infectious, positive personality, I think. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:12:29 I'll take that compliment or run with it. Frankie's, I think maybe he might be a good partner for me. I'm not going to go home and just run away with that. I'm not sure if that's just the king of compliments. But yeah, I do think Frankie and I have been, we just got like an interesting back and forth. Like we've got, and I said in the video, so many things like we like hate or can't stand about one another. Or maybe that are just like wildly different perspectives on things. Like Frankie's like dapping up and stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Like that matters to Frankie. Couldn't care less about how we shake hands or like gap up or whatever if it looks cool. At some basic level, like we, I think we've got a really good like bond in there. and we actually make for a good team and, like, we're a good card fuck. Well, there's no denying that I play better golf. Whether it shows up on the scorecard or not, that's just based off my skill level. But I definitely play the game better when I'm playing with Lurch because he makes me more locked in on decisions I make. So, like, I may not score, like, alarmingly better numbers, but I definitely play from whole 1 to 18,
Starting point is 00:13:37 a more, like, concentrated, normal way of golf as opposed to when I'm buying. myself or when I'm with someone where like we both just don't really care about what I'm doing, I fall off the rails quick. So like I feel like you keep me locked in. I hit better golf shots. Like like at Peninsula Kingswood, I was hitting some golf shots. And I think that positive reinforcement and the encouragement was allowing me to go. Yeah, well, I always see you, I see you go off the rails and that's my biggest fear. Because you going off the rails, you like some rounds, you've just become a cheerleader for the other person that you're playing with. and forget that you're actually, you can partake in this match as well.
Starting point is 00:14:13 And you just think, like, no, no, no, they're going to be on fire all day long. But if I try to, like, coach you back, like, no, you matter every hole. Like, you're going to be good here. Like, you know how to do this. And then you get, you know, the roller coaster of a golf round that is Frankie, but there will be six, I think six to seven holes where you're just wildly impressive on the golf course every time. And I've got another friend that's like that.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yes. Oh, and you are, you're all over. the place. I will say I got when I ruined it for Trent, but Trent and Aaron Hills, we, myself and hanky-panky had you going and then maybe I jinxed you, maybe I ruined it. I'm not sure what it was, but on the 15th there, I think I said for sure you're going to break 100 and then the trap happened. And then that was my fault. I appreciate that demeanor and that line of thinking as well. I don't, I know a lot of people blamed you afterwards for ruining my round and causing the eventual meltdown on the final three holes, which were, boy,
Starting point is 00:15:12 I was thinking about that earlier today for some reason. And it just, I just stared off into the distance and almost started to cry. But I don't blame you for that at all. I, I will like positive vibes whenever I can get them. And you were just being as positive as can be because I was playing great. And I just, I let it go. That's on me. I let it go there at the end. Dude, you know what I was thinking about the other day? And this is kind of off the, not really off topic, but like, everyone's like how everyone's like how fucking long are these butternives jokes going to keep going on and to that i say like do you think that i don't want to hit good wed shots like even when i'm with my buddies and when i'm with my like friends like no cameras i'm still blading balls over fucking
Starting point is 00:15:50 shrubs and onto roads it's like it really embarrassing but the other thing is like trench just hasn't broken a hundred yet and that's a stunning fact like we've played and we've played an abundance of good golf an abundance of golf. I would love to know how many rounds we've played on video where he just hasn't done that yet. So let me say this. I think related to that, I put out this a tweet about, hey, send in questions because we're, and a lot of the from the gallery submissions we got today in the past, a lot of comments
Starting point is 00:16:26 on the YouTube video, tons of people say they want an update on Trent status, trying to break 100 and they want to know what we got to do to get Trent to break 100. And it's a very good point Frankie makes that it is stunning because in that video, it appears like you're making, you know, at worst, a bogea on every hole. And somehow that adds up to 103 or 106 or whatever the hell it was. So Trent, how close do you think you are to breaking 100? I think I'm very close. I think there's two things that work. There's a couple things at work. One, I just, I haven't been playing enough. I, you know, I just have not been playing up.
Starting point is 00:17:07 If I would play more, that would obviously help a ton. I would be far more consistent. If I, New York really, it really does fucking screw you. You don't realize, like when I lived in Iowa, there were five golf courses within five minutes. If I got in my car, I could go wherever I wanted it and play, or I could just hit on a driving range or I could chip around. Here, there's none of that. If you're going, you're going to play 18 and, you know, best of luck, they're kind of
Starting point is 00:17:30 thrown you to the wolves, which brings me to my next point. We always play the hardest courses in the fucking world. And you have to walk a very fine line here because you're obviously playing great courses that are awesome that people would kill other people to play. But you're also playing Pinehurst number two where I can't keep a ball in the green. And if I get it on the green, there's a good chance I'm going to put it off of the green. So I would say those are definitely the two factors. I just need to play better.
Starting point is 00:18:00 and maybe a couple lessons here and there just to stay consistent. And the last thing I would say, and this solely falls on me, I think I get tired around maybe the 12th hole, and that is a problem. That is solely a problem. And I did a confessional for eBug for a future travel series in Australia that are coming out. And we had a very similar discussion about why do I start off so well? and then I falter once I get deeper into the round. And I do think part of it is like, I'm fucking gassed out here.
Starting point is 00:18:34 I'm out of shape. I need to get on the treadmill. I need to eat a little bit better because once my energy goes, my swing gets even worse than it already is. And any form of consistency that I had is now officially out the window. And that's when I melt down and the numbers get into the triple digits. So there's a lot of things at play clearly. Yeah, I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Like, it's there. You have the skill set. You have the ability. I even think you have, you definitely have the mental approach, which is almost like this Zen, you know, mindset throughout the entire round to shoot closer to 90 even. Like, I don't even think, I actually don't think that your first round that you break 100, I don't think it'll be that close. I think your first round where you break 100, you're going to shoot like 91 or 92 because you're just like you're going to be dialed in. and you've had those runs. Like, Aaron Hills, like Lurch was saying,
Starting point is 00:19:29 if he didn't jinx you on the internet, like you could have easily shot like 94 at that court. You would have beat me by 10 strokes that day. Like, that's just a really hard golf course. And you were just hitting fairways, hitting greens, not making a mistake. My approach- Yeah, that was an insane day.
Starting point is 00:19:44 And that was before the Kisner knuckle tip. I was just hitting irons to hit irons. But you bring up my mental approach. And I do get, people compliment me on that all the time. You're like, oh, you're so chill. You're so positive vibes. only out there, but that is a double-edged sword in terms of playing well. Like when I'm not playing well, I'm like, oh, I don't really give a shit because I just want
Starting point is 00:20:02 to be out here and have fun. But you guys have to differing degrees, I think Riggs is probably the most intense. I think we would all agree on that, where you want to play well and you want to score well, right? So I just, I think if I would maybe be more locked in mentally and sort have that attitude, I know it goes against this then vibe and the positive. But I think to shoot a good score and to continue improving, you do have to care more than I do. do right now. You see what I'm saying? I agree.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yeah, a little bit. There's something there that I agree with. But on the other side, like when things are going well, you're jiving. You know, and like you are more upbeat when you're playing well. And then when it fades, like when we're on Australia and we just traveled for 30 hours, we're like a 12th hole and you were making doubles. You just, I mean, your body language went from like good posture to just rolled in, just get me the hell out of here.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And so I think, you know, maybe you're just like a nine hole savant. Maybe, you know, in the handicapped system, you keep putting in 18. I said that in all tournaments because you could dominate. Again, I said that to bug. I was like, if I play, if my 18 holes were compiled of two separate nine hole rounds, I think I'd be dynamite. But it's when I get to 12 to 13 and I'm like, if I'm starting not to play well, then my body language sinks and I put up big numbers.
Starting point is 00:21:17 But I just got to, I can put it all together. I just got to play more and I got to be able to practice a little bit more. and I think I'm there definitely in 2021. Like, golf post a bunch of under a hundred. You know where you fall off the rails? It's when we're all like, there's certain moments when you play golf with Trent and you just look to the left.
Starting point is 00:21:35 No, we look over to the left and he's just on his own universe. He just topped three in a row. He's pulling his cart. He's like looking for his ball. We've all given up on looking for it. And those are the holes where he makes nines, tens, 11s. Like we're just like, would you make? He's like a 10.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Like I'm done. I think we need to stick with Trent. Like when I'm with him and we're playing and like I'm next to him and I'm watching him and he hits at three wood and he crushes it. It's like let's fucking go. It's a good swing. Like it's just about and me too, right? Like mental.
Starting point is 00:22:08 It's meant we know we can put a good swing on every single ball that's in front of us. We know it. We have it in our system. We do it sometimes. Why can't we do it all the time? It's just about being locked in. And I feel like me and you specifically. you a lot. You just, who gives a fuck? I don't care. I'm just, oh, this hole's over. And then it's like
Starting point is 00:22:27 a 12. If you make a six on that hole, you probably break 100. That's the differences. I don't think, I think that's actually one of the first moments that I just, I fell in love with Trent was when we played Beth Plage Black and you would just come up. Black played Black? Black. I said, Beth Page? Black. Black? We wouldn't see him for 20 minutes and he would come up and he'd be like, Jesus. The terrain around here is insane. And he was in tight khakis, you know, he's got the Trent Mac up going. And, but one, I think it was like the fourth or fifth hole.
Starting point is 00:23:01 You made Jake, producer Jake, pee his pants laughing because you got into some world-class terrain that you could not get out of. And I think it like buried in. You like took another whack at it. It didn't move. And it was, he was just laughing like a hyena. But I just love when you would come to the green and finish up or the T-box when we would see you because we wouldn't see you ever you'd be like the train around here is just insane and i
Starting point is 00:23:27 the last four holes i went 11 12 8 7 and you just you keep score to a teeth third you're having massive microphone trouble today so first it was against your zipper now it's rubbing against that beard which actually looks good like i think your facial hair looks really good right now i think you're in a good like visual should i just take the should i just take it out the microphone i think yeah I think because you're too, you're just a little too lurchy, I think, for that to work out where it's not rubbing up against some. Right now, people are just hearing it go, no, that happens to be too. We're, like, our clothes don't fit enough and they just sort of bulge out and our chin's bulge and our beard bulge.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And we just, our, the mics hits everything. That's going to, that's going to go around off your fucking beard again. You just, you actually, now it's tight to it though. Yeah, now, yeah, now it just sounds worse. It's just, phenomenally worse. Just, there you go. Okay. And it is. It's an audio production. That's the whole. Well, I think we're on YouTube now. I'm pretty sure. I don't know if that's true or not. I could be making up lies. There is a, there's a little bit of a production debate or rather we're going to put on our entire show. I don't know if this one will be on YouTube. I've been like doing work emails, texting people. I haven't been looking at the camera much today. So I don't know if it's going to be the most visually pleasing one. I mean, unless we want to put it up and people now know that that's what I've been doing. But I think that when we have big guests, when we have a good show, I think we should throw that on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I think the people want to see. Like when like part of my take as a guest, I always want to see like Matthew McConae. I want to see like his face on it. I want people to see like Kalamorakawa like his facial reactions to us as opposed to just a couple of clips. Like that's like cool.
Starting point is 00:25:04 No one cares about my face. I want to hide my face as much as possible. We'll do we'll do something. In terms of me breaking 100, we'll do something. Maybe we'll do a video series. Well, I'll just go out and I'll keep trying to break 100.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I'll just. I think it's a series next year. I think that that's guy. to be a focus for you, Trent. I think a series where you try to break a hundred a combination of maybe you work with a coach or two, they'll do it for free. You know how many coaches want that free exposure of getting that Big Daddy Trent from fucking 110 down to like 85, which you absolutely could do.
Starting point is 00:25:36 They would love that. And then you're just out there doing your thing. You don't have to change that much. You really don't. I think it's a couple short game things. We had a little video that we shot last week where you were great out of the bunker with a couple tips from someone who's quite credible. So I think you getting that a little bit of help.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Again, I don't think you have to change a ton of things. Like, we've all seen these stretches of golf where you're just fucking Mr. Consistent, down the middle with a little baby paid. You hit it up near the green. You pitch it up close or you two putt it. You got great pace on a lot of your butts. Like, you don't have to change that much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah. So that'll be, we will. We'll do that. We'll do Trent trying to break 100. We'll think of a better name than that. Teaching Trent or something like that. What? Maybe I'd be like teaching Trent or something that's like
Starting point is 00:26:19 Teaching Trent's a little elementary I would say So we could do we could probably do a little better Trent's an elementary type like golfer and like vibe I think I think that I think the logo It uses all the little letter blocks that you have in like kindergarten Love it I love it I'm drinking milk out of a cardboard carton I'm fucking this is great yeah
Starting point is 00:26:42 Teach me how to hit the Dwiva Tell me the Knuckles What is it? Trent Elementary? What was it? Teaching Trent. Teaching Trent. It's the little blocks like teaching trend.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Like Podfather's almost. I don't know. We'll work. We'll work something. But I think Wrakes' point is right. You're going to break. When you break through 100, you're going to go to a 91. Like, I think that'll be your first round.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I think you'll just bust through a 100, no problem. And there's also a little, there's an element of what we're talking about with your game that applies to literally everyone, everyone who plays the game. We're going to get to that, but we've got to get to Peter Malar first, which I've talked about Peter Malar and I've said that if you started us out four or five years ago, we were just a Schmucks doing a podcast out of our garage with five followers. And you could ask that version of myself, probably everyone on the show, like, what number one sponsor would you want?
Starting point is 00:27:36 Who would you want to be outfitting you? Who would you want to be able to get gear from and promote and talk about? It would 100% be Peter Malas. You have to wear clothes. Clothes are just part of society. Can't walk around naked. That's illegal. It's a decent exposure.
Starting point is 00:27:50 So you have to wear clothes. And if you're going to wear clothing, which you have to, so you're going to, you want it to be the nicest stuff. You want it to be great pants, great shorts, perfectly fitting polos, quarter zips, layers. You want to be able to put on layers. And quite literally, nobody on earth does that better than Peter Millard. And we're a golf podcast. So they obviously specialize in.
Starting point is 00:28:10 They focus a lot in golf gear, golf wear, their vest, no matter what. I mean, I honestly, I root for a day when there is inconsistent changing weather because I want to be able to showcase and rock as many of my Peter Malar items as possible. Like, you generally want to start with like a heavy sweater-like quarter-zip over a polo even with like a vest on top. Then it gets a little nicer. You take the vest and the quarters-zip off. And then it gets a little chilly in the evening. So now you throw the vest back on. You want to be able to rock as many of these things as possible because they make such.
Starting point is 00:28:45 good here. Go to petermalar.com slash four, use the code for at checkout. You're going to get yourself a complimentary performance hat. They've got really good stuff from their crown soft sweaters. They've got all all kinds of different layers, the quartersips, the Perth. We sell a bunch in our store because we're so proud to be able to work with a company like it's the best. KFC, KFC the other day. We were at for Cyber Monday. We were at the office. And he was like, I haven't taken off these sweatpants in 14 days. Like he's just living KFC. Like I give up on trying to look cool, whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:21 And he sells a bunch of like really comfortable clothing now, the Viva and the whole thing. And we were, he was helping us promote a lot of the Peter Malar stuff while we were on the telethon for Cyber Monday. And he held up that sweater you're wearing the quarters of it. And it's on the Barcl's store. I don't know what the name of that Quartersip is.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Let me find this pop before you here. I have it somewhere. my floor. It looks like a cozy, cozy fleece. The cozy fleece? Is that what it's called? That's just what it looks like. Okay. I was going to say, what a name. Anyway, so on Peter Malar, on Barstalsports.com, it's a Peter Malar fucking product. Here's what it's called, Frank. It's called the Peter Malar, Barstall golf micro fleece half zip. The micro fleece half zip. This is the kind of thing that you look like you can clean the touchscreen dashboard on your car with. It's got like nothing's wrong with it.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Like there's, it's a perfect material where it's not going to scratch. If you can clean your phone with it and you feel, oh, your glasses, that's how you know it's the real deal. This is a micro fleece cortisol. KFC held it up and goes, now hold the fuck on.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Like, what is this? I put it on and then left the office with it on. He goes, I'm not giving it back. He goes, I'm not taking it off. This is the ultimate.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Like, I'll look a little bit more like an adult, but still feel comfy cozy like I'm a child. Because I sit down, like, you're one step away from being homeless at this point. You just don't wear anything. hard or like you don't wear anything that's even slightly uncomfortable he's like yeah it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:30:48 anymore i'm never wearing jeans again so this really elevated him to more of like i can walk out in public like let me like i have a nice quarter zip on it's got the good color scheme peter milar just does it right i i often say if you want to go buy a toyota corolla go buy a toyta carola if you want to get into like the rolls royce mercedes i'm talking the high end shit let's talk lamburgine's let's suck Rolls Royce. Bugatti's. That's the fucking, that is what Peter Malar is to golf wear. Like they are just the top of the line.
Starting point is 00:31:17 You got to spend a little bit more money to get it. But don't be cheap when it comes to being comfortable. All right? That's my biggest thing. It's like, you're going to get something cheap. It's going to stink. I laid out for Black Friday. I laid out all that gear all over my parents dining room table.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I laid it all out there. I had 30, 40 pieces of merch. Got it all spread. I'm going to take these photos. I'm going to take these videos. And my mom came over and she saw this. And she said, now what the fuck is this item? And she grabbed it.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And she said, what does the mother have to do to get one of these? So literally yesterday. And I have a photo of it. My sister took a photo of my mother. A couple of these arrived at the house, this exact micro fleece half zip that you're talking about from Peter Malar. These arrived at the house. And they both put them on, my sister and my mother, put them on, took a photo. And we're like, this is the most comfortable thing.
Starting point is 00:32:05 So it really is. It's that good. Frankie's correct. you this is high-end stuff you pay a little bit more and then you never ever ever question why you did it you just go back to peter moore.com slash four use the code for and you continue to buy more stuff you get stuff for the spring you get stuff for the summer you get stuff for the winter whatever you want they've got it all covered so big thanks to peter mollar for sponsor guys okay what i was going to say earlier was we were talking about trends game we're saying
Starting point is 00:32:30 you know it's it's you can you have these amazing nine hole stretches you know you're capable of it You know, you're capable of this kind of golf. Why can't you do it all the time? And I mean, I think we all think about that in our games, right? Like myself, Frankie, Lurch. Like, we all, if we played us one golf course and you played it a hundred times, you would over those hundred rounds. Like every hole on the course, you would have birdied at that point,
Starting point is 00:32:55 at least like once, right? Like, so you're capable of birdying every hole in the golf course. So why can't you just like at least make par on every hole? Like, you're capable of birdying them. Why can't you just stand there, swing? The ball will just, like, go pretty far out there and straight, and then just, like, swing again, and it's up on near the green. And you make, like, pretty good score on every hole because you're capable of doing it.
Starting point is 00:33:17 And you can do it. Why can't you just do it every time? That's what's so fucking frustrating about the game of golf. And I think Anika Sorenstant said, like, she's like, I, on 18 holes of golf, she's like, I know I can burdie every hole. So why don't I just shoot 18 under every time? Like why I should just shoot 18 under every single time. Like I can hit it straight and far.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I can hit it very accurately. It pins. I can draw it. I can cut it. I can read. I know the greens. I have a fucking book that tells me exactly the break on every green. I work on my stroke all day every day.
Starting point is 00:33:49 My putting stroke is perfect. The ball never starts offline. Why doesn't I, why don't I just birdie every hole? And it's so on any level, whether you're trying to break 190, 80, 70s, 70s, like golf is so infuriating in that way because you know what you're capable of. And I think the reason that like,
Starting point is 00:34:02 You see Rory break clubs. You see me slam clubs. You see people that can't break like 90 out there losing their fucking mind. It's not because, like, it's just frustrating to hit bad shot. It's because it's so fucking rattling when you know you're capable of something. And then you do something so much worse than you're capable. Yeah, it is. And I think what's even more frustrating, too,
Starting point is 00:34:24 and I think proves the point that golf is, like, you can play it perfectly and still not get a perfect score. or like, like, you could hit a perfect shot and golf could just be really fucking a bitch and just the ball somehow rolls off the green into like a pond. Like you could hit it pin high and it checks up and spins back. Like it's just what did I do wrong there? Everything was perfect. Or you could hit a drive. It hits a fucking sprinkler head goes off into a fucking bunker. And now you have a lip.
Starting point is 00:34:55 So like golf is imperfect in every single way. It's one of the worst games ever invented because of things like that. But also it's the best game ever invented because on any given day it could be the opposite. You could hit a fucking branch and you could end up on a green. You could be putting for eagle. Trent fucking at Peninsula Kingswood was smacking the ball all around. He was putting for fucking double bogey off the side of a green. He drains a 130 foot putt.
Starting point is 00:35:21 You love the game right there even though it was a nightmare two seconds before. So I agree with you in the fact that like every single swing should be the same. We can do it. each one we can do. We can just do it. There's nothing stopping us. There's no defender that's in my face that's going to affect me. It's just like I could hit this ball the same way I did it in the last hole.
Starting point is 00:35:41 But there's so many things that come into play that just makes it so fucking difficult. And for Trent, like he's just got to get on that same fucking swing. Like just keep hit. Like I want him to have the confidence to hit that fucking three wood. Because like sometimes, man, you hit this thing 220 yards of the nice buttery cut off the ground. And then the next time you have that chance, you go for like a four iron, which we all know you just like can't hit. It's just dumb golf decisions that he needs to get better at. Like it's just, he would easily break 100, easily if you had a better golf mine.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It's amazing where you take us in that like information just vomit or whatever you're like. He's right. He is right. But I want to be able to hit that four iron too. I wish I could hit a fucking four iron. Like I know I can hit that three wood and then sometimes I really, really can't hit that three wood. But I want to hit that, be able to hit that four iron because that feels like more, that feels like real golf. Like when I, like hitting the three wood, but I'll hit the three wood in a scenario where I'm not supposed to hit the three wood just because I know I can hit it far. And even if I don't hit it right, it'll run. But that feels cheap sometimes.
Starting point is 00:36:53 I want to be able to hit a fucking four iron. Yeah, I would say that being able to flush and hitting a long iron well, in how you intend and how it is intended to be hit is one of the most impressive things in all of sports. And I would say just thinking, like looking at the roundtable right now of us for buffoons, like Lurch's ability to hit long irons, I think is the single most impressive skill on the show. He compresses the show of the ball. He's actually mean to the ground.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I asked you if you like playing the way. Two weeks ago, I asked you if you like playing the way you play. I was like, do you enjoy that? Like, he, it's the most unsatisfying way of golf I've ever seen in my entire life. He digs into the ground. It's the biggest divot. It's not even like a nice divot.
Starting point is 00:37:41 There's nice divvits out there. Like you watch like a Matthew Wolfe. He does the crazy swing and the divot goes fucking flying. And it's just like a toupee. A toupee that just fluttering in the way. You like lurch. Like violently punish the ground. Lurch is like an airplane hitting the ground like,
Starting point is 00:37:57 what with no wheels? or something like when you like when a fucking airplane's coming down like oh and then it's just fucking boom boom i i hit a ball last time what were you going to say chan you scar the ground yeah so somebody so i think i played with frankie last time when we played last time you said the ground just exploded when you hit it on impact and that is the way i mean like i pretty much taught myself how to play golf but somebody explained me like a tennis swing or with a racket you have kind of a closed base and you brush up on it. So you need to actually punch down on the ground and that will make the ball go up.
Starting point is 00:38:34 And Trent, we were kind of working on this with you at Atlantic City Country Club. Yeah. And then you got hit by a heat wave and tired out and could do no more. Again, I got to increase that endurance. And when my body takes in too much vitamin D, it explodes. So I need to figure that out too. But yeah, we were. But yeah, but that we were punching down the golf ball with like an eight iron.
Starting point is 00:38:57 started to feel the ball come off your club because I think you have so much more control when you actually start to like go down on it and you can feel where the golf ball is going to go except like instead where some of you guys are where you just kind of like brush the top. I mean, Frankie, you rarely take a blade of glass. You never do. And I think that will help you guys like get control. I think it's two different swings, Lurch. If I start taking as much grass as you, it's a whole.
Starting point is 00:39:27 new swing. I need to go to a simulator. I need to go get lessons. It's a new swing. New swing playing. I'm making contact at a whole different spot. I'm taking the club back a different way. I'm not scooping anymore. It's just a new swing. So when I try and do what you do, it's a nightmare because it's just I'm trying to overdo what I already do. You know what I mean? It's a whole new swing. And I think I need to, so I'm trying to get my swing to be less of just hammer down into the turf and just let the ball explode out of there. Because sometimes somebody said it the other day, it was like that looked like it was going to be chunky.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I think Ebug said that. Like, based on the contact and everything, that pitching wedge you hit sounded chunky, but the ball still went 155. I just fundamentally don't understand how that happened. But I want to become less take a shovel each time. It's a shovel. It's a shovel.
Starting point is 00:40:18 The flip side is your long irons are spectacular. Yeah, I know. I know. They're good. They could be even better if he, I mean, I don't know the math behind it, but he takes too much grass. no one takes that much grass on a four iron that goes 220 yards.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Yeah, but like, it's going to be very hard to unteach yourself. Right. And look, like Steve Stricker is a famous, like, picker of the ball where he got like a dead arm swing and he just kind of picks the ball. And then you watch other guys sometimes. Like Sergio Garcia, you'll watch him off the tee. He's got a three wood teed up a little bit and he'll take a divot off the tea with a three wood
Starting point is 00:40:53 and just fucking ripped down through it. So, like, there's obviously different ways to do it. I would say lurch with, it's a lot of what Frankie's saying, which is like, yeah, if you were building from scratch and you wanted to try to become Tiger Woods and, you know, you're Caleb Presley, you're starting from scratch. Then it's like, well, yeah, we would try to probably teach it a different way.
Starting point is 00:41:14 But, like, none of us have that time. None of us have the commitment level, whatever it is, the resources. So it would be psychotic for Frankie to try to all of a sudden start taking, like, lurch fucking toupee divvets. Right. And it would be psychotic for lurch to try to like pick the ball clean. So yeah, like you can make tweaks.
Starting point is 00:41:31 But also, like I feel like I learned that last year. I'm looking at these fucking videos from, of my swing from last year where we went to Australia. And I was like trying to do this move where you take it back like outside. And like it just looked so preposterous. But it was like you're trying to redo. Like there are certain elements that each one of us have that like we're able to play pretty good golf that removing those elements to try to seek like perfection would just be crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And you see it with guys that try to like, they try to totally, Martin Kimer tried to totally reconfigure his golf swing so he could draw the ball more and like win at Augusta National. And ultimately went from one of the best players in the world to like, they didn't even play him at the fucking Ryder Cup because he was such a nightmare. And it's like, no, dude, what you have is so good. And there's so many very, very solid characteristics of what you have that trying to sacrifice those to find something different is going to make you way fucking worse than it is going to
Starting point is 00:42:24 make you better. Yeah, I mean, that's like the old logic of grass is always greener. You're always looking at other things and being like, oh, I wish I could do this and then that would allow me to achieve this. And then you forget that if you don't practice on what makes you like okay or good today, then that falls out. And then you just everything falls out. Yeah, I think each of us are stuck. We each of like the bones of a swing that we've just had for years that is not going to change. If you try to make wholesale changes, it's over. But I think if we just make tiny, weeks here and there. Like Lurch is never going to not take huge divvits. Frankie may always pick it mostly clean, but a little, like a little tweaks here and there will help. But I think if
Starting point is 00:43:04 you try to change the bones of your swing, and there's probably a lot of bad habits baked into those bones, but that's just what you've got. If you try and start over, you're completely fucked. So I think it's just the little things that we have to change. Like I, my swing, it's very ugly, but there's nothing I can't make all. It's never going to be pretty. I just have to make enough changes where I break on. Same. Even like, look, Kisner's one of the best putters in the world, and Kiz is fucking standing on the green in moon boots before rounds of golf,
Starting point is 00:43:34 like trying to iron out any, like, bad little habits that sneak into his putting, his balance and like his footwork and his setup. You know, he's trying to make those as solid as they can be. He's not totally changing his putting stroke, but he's trying to perfect the little thing. that can get out of sync. And like you see Tiger on the putting. Tiger's with player of top most most clutch putter in the history of the game. And like he's sitting there with, you know, two T's and a little gate and like a string. And he's trying to, you know, do checkpoints and iron out any imperfections in his putting stroke because like things can just go awry. So it is
Starting point is 00:44:12 this crazy balance of like trying to, you know, use the positives that you do have while also adding improvements to your game or your swing. And there's that fucking video that just went, you know, semi-viral in the golf world of Gary Player, who's like 84, whatever he is, being rattled that his swing is too short. And he's trying to like lengthen his swing. And Jack Nicholas rolls up on him on the range. And it's like, hey, here's a couple of tips, Gary.
Starting point is 00:44:38 And he's literally trying to like, you know, get it right and find it at 84, 85 years old. So it's just kind of never-ending. And folks like us who, you know, we struggle to post-good scores, we're always going to be grinding. We're talking a little bit about how golf's mental. They say golf's 90% mental, which means even the smallest issues are going to have a gigantic impact on your scorecard. Getting a good night's sleep is going to be very important.
Starting point is 00:45:00 You don't want to tie her out on the 12th hole like Trent Daddy does all the time and go from shooting 90 to shooting 110. CBDMD wants to make sure you're getting the quality sleep that you deserve. So perhaps next time, Trent, go grab the CBD PM. It's going to help you, just like it helps bubble ops and go out there and shoot a lower score and not, you know, tire out. Yeah, I would love that. That would be really great for me. I really got to improve that. And, you know, I've done the CBD stuff in the past and I love it. I absolutely love it. So that's, that'll be part of a larger picture of improving my current
Starting point is 00:45:35 level of fitness, I think. Yeah, 2021, I'm going CBD freeze hard. I'm going to do it for drumming. I'm going to do it for golfing. I'm just going to utilize that because I'm falling apart a little bit. and I think that's going to... You've got torn elbows and torn shoulders. I got two torn elbows and two torn shoulders. I wake up with no feeling in both my fingertips, both fingers, both sets of fingers. It's probably a larger problem that we're going to have to figure out at some point. But for now, I think the CBD freeze is going to alleviate a lot of that pain, a lot of that stress.
Starting point is 00:46:06 The freeze for me, you throw it on that lower back, you throw it on the elbow joints, throw it on the arms, the shoulders, the necks. I mean, I take a bath in that thing. And it just feels cool. It feels good. taking it like, you know, during an activity or like as you're getting into bed, really good feeling. It's like you're fucking having air conditioning on all of your hurt joints.
Starting point is 00:46:24 It feels really good. It's very good stuff. It really truly is. We've been rocking them for a few years now, all kinds of their different products.

Before we go into what we're going to talk about next, I do have a question for alert since we are talking about fitness and kind of what's, you know, going into our bodies. Are you doing a juice cleanse? I am doing a plant-based cleanse. And I am on day three and I feel great today. Because I'm going to tell you my experience with Juice Cleanz, is that I have tried them,
Starting point is 00:47:20 but I'm in such a murderous rage state of mind by the second day that I give up. So day two is nearly impossible. I almost broke yesterday, and I was just a bad human being. I was upset. I was irritated all day long. The other thing that I've weaned off this week is coffee. So I had headaches yesterday that are just having bagels and what I usually eat. So it's a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:47:43 But yeah, I am on day three of this cleanse. And it's a joke. Today I get this plant-based granola bar to start with tea for breakfast. Then for lunch, I had this soup that was all of like 100 calories and some kale chips. And then the only thing that I get to eat for the rest of the day is another soup that's 100 calories. And it's like powder-based soup. You just mix with water. it's awful.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Like for some meals, it just says tea. That's it. Let me tell you what I did today for food and just show you how different this is. I went. I went to this place and I've actually golfed with the guy who owns this, his family. It's called Junta Meat Farms. And it's a fucking meat farm over here. It's a huge supermarket.
Starting point is 00:48:33 So shout out to them. I stopped into this fucking place and I said, let me go. So what do you guys got over there for some prosciuta de Parma? Guys, I'll show you some pursuit. The guy fucking cut me half a pound of prosuit and I crushed it in my car. Now, let me tell you how much a half a pound of pursuit is. Usually they put prosuit on a nice little flat fucking piece of paper, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:48:54 This thing looked like a fucking novel. Every single, I was going like this in between the slits of paper to see how many pieces of meat I had in between them. I crush it all. Now, I did a little Google after that. How bad is pursuit for you? It's horrible. You've got sodium. you've got processed meat.
Starting point is 00:49:12 It's as bad of a meat. I basically ate just bacon in my car, just a half a pound of it, just consumed it and it just sat in my belly. But I enjoyed the taste of that, much more than you eating a plant-based granola bar and a tea. And at the end of the day, we're both ending up in the ground.
Starting point is 00:49:31 We're both going to be plants. So I don't give off fuck, and I'm going to eat whatever the fuck I want. While the Griggs is showing us some waffles, bacon and eggs this morning. Wow. My breakfast was so fucking good this morning. Look at that butter on top.
Starting point is 00:49:45 I had to take a photograph. Look at that. I just fucking, I spread that butter all over that thing. Oh, it was great. But Lurch, what were you going to say? I was just, I mean, so I totally agree. I mean, Frankie, prosciute with that fig butter on a pressure with maybe a little cheese on there. Now we're going crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:05 That's just so good. But this is, you know, my stomach is starting to grow. growl because now I'm starting to think of how actually hungry I am and all the good foods that are out there. And I agree that yes, we'll all pass on and we'll leave its world behind. But there's a better way maybe I could extend a day or two because right now my body is looking for a leftover steak somewhere around my body. And it's just sucking out. I just love Italian meat. I mean, I've always loved Italian meats. And I think Lurch and I, we are so much different than the two of you in terms of body and the way we can just pack it on like you guys lurch and i could we
Starting point is 00:50:44 could put it we could run it up to 280 no problem like no problem like i uh frankie and riggs i don't think you guys could get over 210 if you really tried i think it's impossible no they don't have the body frankly yeah frankly you can't hit two 10 no way riggs could but it would no dude i i i'm getting a fucking like and i don't i don't i i don't i i don't i i i don't i i don't i I don't know how to explain what my body's starting to do. I'm not gaining any weight other than just my stomach. I look like I'm wearing a pool noodle around my body. It's as bad as it gets.
Starting point is 00:51:22 I'm starting to get little little B cup tits. Like just they're sitting down on a very frail bone-like structure. And it is, I mean. How close are you to go and asking your mom, like, what do I do? What size do I get? What's a dog like that? I could wear a sports bra for sure, and it would be some sort of relief in them holding up. So I think I brought this up on the podcast, dude.
Starting point is 00:51:51 I was brushing my teeth. It got me like thinking about health like two months ago because everybody's just sitting home, like eating food, constantly going through the kitchen, eating more. At least that's what I was doing. I was brushing my teeth, look in the mirror, and I just saw one of my breasts just start to jiggle. and then I just started, I just got down to rip some pushups. And then I was like, we got to get this in order because I'm not, I'm not rocking a beatup.
Starting point is 00:52:15 That thing, we got to tighten it up. So it's been a slow trajectory, but I think this is going to help. None of us are, you know, impressive physical specimens right now in our current shape. I'm going to preface it with that, but I, when we were at Aaron Hills last year, this picture always sticks on mind, we're at Aaron Hills last year. And I was playing with Frankie and a couple of guys that we went up there with. And I take a lot of photos out there. And I took this awesome photo of just, it's such a good view with all the Aaron Hills behind it.
Starting point is 00:52:48 And I took it. And I went over to Frank here after. I said, I want you to know, I took a really cool picture. But I can't post it because it's in. Yeah. That's just really bad. That's really, really bad. That's a 90-year-old man.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Just as big of a pile. Now, to be fair, I'm going. wearing a fucking, I must have been like moving at that moment and like I could be stepping. I mean, that that doesn't look at it. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. That there was another picture that I think about from that trip a lot. And it's another one that Riggs took.
Starting point is 00:53:20 And it's me and Lurch sitting next to each other at the dinner table. And that was at a time when we were eating whatever we wanted. And though that's the two happiest guys on the face of the earth. Like, because the thing is, the flip side of all of this is I'm never. That's some happy campers right there. Talking about food, it's just the best. Like, I can, I'll go on stretches where, you know, I'll want to do a juice cleanse and I'll want to get on a treadmill.
Starting point is 00:53:46 But I'm never happier than when I'm just with my friend, eating whatever I want. Like, that's pure blitz. Look at me. Riggs has shown us a picture now where I think I'm probably explaining to Lurch. Like, how do we get as much, you know, prime rib onto our plates as possible right now? Exactly. You can see I've favored in this photo because I love it.
Starting point is 00:54:04 much. This is in my album. We're talking about the breadcrumbs on the mac and cheese. Just something just lovable. How you're just amazed how they do it. It tastes so good. It just be happy, happy. I'll leave you. We can move on from the hell thing with this. I'll leave you with this lurch. You do, you look great right now.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Like the thing about you and I is when we start to eat better, it instantly shows because we've been eating so bad for so long that as soon as we give our bodies a respite, our face thins out. We look better. You can see the cheekbones. You can start to see the jaw. So just Stick with it if you can because you're starting.
Starting point is 00:54:36 You already look better. And look at me. I look like hell because I've been eating like shit for the past three months. So keep doing what you're doing. I appreciate that. I honestly think, Dee Daddy, if you get back to it, day one, not bad. Day two, hell. Just hell.
Starting point is 00:54:51 But day three, I actually feel okay today. And I don't know if that will continue for day four and five. Because you're a prisoner. You're starting to get used to your surroundings. You're a prisoner to tea and plant-based granola bars. And you've now accepted that that is your life. Yeah, Stockholm syndrome with a juice cleanse. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:06 It's so depressing. They basically provide you your food in a box. And my box is the size of a cell phone. It is literally like that width and then maybe just like four inches taller than that. You've got like three powdered soups, a granola bar, plant-based bar, and then like a bunch of packets of tea. And that's it for the day. So that's depressing. But I started probably, I was probably just north of 260, probably.
Starting point is 00:55:33 probably 262. Yeah. After like midday two, I was down 10 pounds. Yeah. So, I mean, we're living. Let me, let me ask you that for Larch. What is the long-term plan, right? Because like if you do a juice cleanse for a week or two and it's great and you're
Starting point is 00:55:50 really proud of yourself and then you just go back to like look like fucking, like, I'm not going to say tub, but I was going to say Lurch is like a fucking tub of lard. Yes. In like a month. And what was the point? just like endured this miserable two weeks for no reason. Right. So I think it's like the cleanse aspect of it
Starting point is 00:56:09 of your body kind of clearing out, I think is good. And I do think that I can eat for a family of two and not so much a family of four. Like I don't need, like if I can get into the headspace of, well, you know what? I don't need to have three, four bagels in a morning. Like that keep it at two. Two is fine.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Two is all you need in this life. And so I need to change. kind of changed my mindset also because I'm just like working out and doing that stuff less like I want to ramp that up but I'm just not the way I used to so the pounds are just adding up like I left college at 220 to 25 and could run and I'm just every year I'm five to 10 pounds heavier and so I need to put a little little curb in that I can't continue so it is a thought of okay let's do a cleanse and let's see if we can have you know I mean one bagel's too tough but if we can do a two bagel more than we're low this is a good time for me to bring out without uh and before we got to get out to myacoba the there's golf this week i know we're doing some uh from the galleries we're running fucking long here this is i have to say this i am a pathetic piece of shit i just lay in bed i quarantine i eat prosciute de parma i go to jontas meat farms i have prosuit sandwiches i'm having way too much prosuit way too many italian meats sunday football i go to my friend's house i say i'm bringing the meats i supply the meats i
Starting point is 00:57:30 bring meats the whole thing this is what i'm saying i have now joined an activity for this winter. And that activity is I'm playing roller hockey. And I can't say that with a straight face because everyone's laughing at me right now on this video. I've joined a hockey team and I want to announce it to the world. I am playing at this place, skate safe and Beth Page on Long Island is a very competitive league. I hope we're not in too good of a division.
Starting point is 00:57:57 But listen, I said, you know what, man, I'm back on Long Island. They play like Monday nights, whatever Sunday nights. I need to join and get active. I haven't played roller hockey in six years from when we used to go to this place in Belmore. We used to have a fucking key to the fucking rank. We used to illegally go in there and just play every single weekend. The kids said he knew someone, quote unquote,
Starting point is 00:58:18 but we just went in there when they just didn't have games. And we used to play it all day long. Now I'm playing like a legit fucking formal, like an actual league. I'm way in over my head. But it's just like I'm trying to get my heart going. I'm trying to get that whoop ban. to just give me some good data for once. I've never been over like a 10 strain in my life.
Starting point is 00:58:39 So I need to start moving. I need to get my heart going. So that's what's going on in Frank Eberle's world. I'm joining a hockey league, roller hockey league. I pick number 29 for the American hero, Brock Nelson, a good guy who plays hard and loves the game. You can start calling me B-0-29, E-L-L-I.
Starting point is 00:58:54 You want to put the 29 in the middle of my last name. That's what I'm doing. I'm playing roller hockey. Thank you very much. How, Riggs and Lourch, you'll know about an eye that I'll know. how violent are these leagues? You're going to run into teams. You're going to run into teams that are very much on your page who are out there to have a good time.
Starting point is 00:59:12 This is a break from work. We're going to laugh. We're going to have a few beers after. We're going to try to dangle. We're going to try to have a couple sick highlight plays. Nobody's going to backcheck and we'll have a good time. Then you're also going to run into teams that think it's the Stanley Cup final game seven that think high sticks and cross checks that you get away with in the Stanley Cup finals game
Starting point is 00:59:31 is just how the game is supposed to be played all the time. People whose lives are clearly miserable, who it's like a stress relief for them, that don't give a fuck about other humans that are taking clappers and running into people and they're total hazards out there. And when you play those teams, it's frustrating, but also your counter to that is going to be
Starting point is 00:59:54 that you hate them and you want to defeat them. So you will actually find yourself like raising a little bit to their level and it escalates quickly. It will escalate very quickly. And actually this is, some people know this, but not everybody. This is how through hockey and kind of men's league hockey, this is how I picked up the name Lurch. Because we, Sam, Riggs and I play together in Men's League Boston team.
Starting point is 01:00:16 And our team was very jovial. We had a bunch of skilled guys and then we just had like, you know, mutants like myself out there. We're just there to have a good time, have some beers in the locker. Hurt's played with lacrosse clubs. You have the cross club. Right. So there was two ice hockey goalies on the team.
Starting point is 01:00:30 There was myself and then another one. The other one refused to play out, refused to kind of laugh at himself. I was like, screw it. I don't care. I'll play out. I'm just here to have a good time. So I rocked my ice hockey goalie skates, which are flat. Like there's no radius, so you can't really turn that well.
Starting point is 01:00:46 You're very lurchy. And so I had a lacrosse helmet, lacrosse gloves, any pads I could find. But then Riggs and his buddy Diego started to call him kind of lurch because I had no skill. I would just kind of bob around and, like, like move all rigidly trying to chase pucks, and I would infuriate the other team because my game was solely on the boards. Like one time I was going in on a one-on-one offensively, and I knew I couldn't get around this guy. I had no ability to turn faster, skate faster than he could. So I just took the puck square in the corner, put it between my skates and held on to it and let the team get a change
Starting point is 01:01:24 and then got off the ice. So you will find all different kind of people within, actually, people really show their true colors in mensly hockey. Like if you're a dick, you're going to be a dick in mensly hockey. You're going to be slashing people. You're just going to be an a hole. And if you're kind of just in that spirit of like, hey, let's just score goals. Nobody really cares the back check. We'll hang the goalies out to drive, but that's just the nature of the beast.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Let's go so have some fun. I'm very excited. Just because I want something a little competitive, obviously, but I just want to be out there, skate. I want to be sweating and, like, I want to be out of breath on a Monday night when I'm usually just like watching TV. I think it was a very good decision that part. but I am a little nervous of the guy.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Like the team I'm joining like says they get walked all the time. And they also like cut people off their team because they just didn't care enough. Like they just like wouldn't show up. And like they were like a 40 year old guy that would like just like go out there and skate just for the hell of it. So I'm like well like you're not fucking adding fucking Alexei Ashan over here. Like you're like you're adding Frankie Breley that has no idea. But I also want to give a call out to I know we have a lot of hockey people at
Starting point is 01:02:27 listen to podcast. If you want to make me the most. like best equipment in the world showing this men's league roller hockey team, you guys know where I'm at. Like you have my Twitter account. You have my Instagram account. I want to show up. I want to be that asshole in golf that has the best golf clubs and the best outfit and can't get off the tee.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Like I know I hate that guy and golf, but I want to be that in hockey. Like get me the top of the line shit. I want to be fucking using the craziest sticks that are snapping every single time I go to, like I want to show up to the rink with 10 sticks. and like be a prima donna when it comes to it. So that's my goal. And I have about a month out until it starts. So I'm looking forward to it. Maybe I can get someone to film like my,
Starting point is 01:03:10 I know if someone said like they should film my first shift or something. Yeah. How much of a nightmare that's going to be. Yeah, just the solo cam on you for your whole first shift. Like do you know where to go like when the fuck is, you know, when it's like a three on two or when it's going back or when it's kind of transitioning in the neutral. Like Frankie's just spinning around in a big circle like running.
Starting point is 01:03:30 It's like, I just want to see that. Lurch. So that is actually how Lurch and I met. Like, the first time we ever met was on this men's league hockey team. A.C. We were pretty, we were actually, we ended up being a pretty damn good team by the end of the day. But we at one point, me and my buddy Biego, we bet Lurch that he couldn't, in warm-ups, he couldn't take a slab shot from above the top of the circles and have it enter the net in the air.
Starting point is 01:03:57 And he tried to do it and legit fell flat on his face. trying. So bad. I was like, I think of myself as a decent hockey player. I couldn't even come close to hitting a slap shot that would come off the ice. It was one of those things where like it was just freshly zamboni. The ice was a little wet. You know, I'll make as many excuses as I can under the book. But like, I hit, like, hit the ice and it was like a puddle of water exploded. The thing barely even got across the goal line. I mean, it was one of the least athletic things I've ever accomplished in my life. It was interesting. We had such an interesting squad, and I imagine you would get a good amount of this, too, Frankie. But, like, Lurch was saying, like, the juxtaposition on our team was we had, like, two or three D-1 guys, and then we had Lurch. We literally can't get a slab shot off the ice.
Starting point is 01:04:45 And he's a good athlete, and, like, Lertz said, like, you play goalie, like, really, really good, like, prep school hockey goalie. So, like, you can play the game of hockey, but then you go from that with goalie, like, equipment, trying to play out. And you were a menace on defense. Like, your lurchy body just poke-checking. people and like getting in the way that's what like we would always say lurch like when you're back on d dude you don't have to be a hero you don't have to like we don't need bobby fucking or out here but like
Starting point is 01:05:10 just get in the way like if you're just in people's way in mensly hockey that's huge because it's really rattling because everybody wants to just skate around and you want to be fucking mac david at the all-star game out there and have it and laughing and like when you get a big like freak like lurch who's just like not going to score he's not going to do anything impressive and he's just in your way as the other team, it's so rattling. There's nothing worse than that guy and your group of friends that loves defense. I have a buddy. That's me.
Starting point is 01:05:38 I have a buddy, Kyle, who doesn't do anything offensively, and it's infuriating. Basketball, like, D1 defender. But, like, he played his whole life, like, varsity basketball just in people's face, stealing balls. You play hockey with them? He wants to be, like, the defender, just poking the pucking the puck's away. Everything defense. And it just drives me crazy.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Don't you want to score? Don't you want to like get the chicks at the end of the game? Like, yeah, I'm a fucking player. Like, no, you're just a fucking defender. Like, no one likes a defender. You're fucking ruining our good time. Why are you double teaming me in backyard basketball? Why am I getting double team?
Starting point is 01:06:13 I want to shoot a wide open three. Yeah, switching. It's crazy. And he's good at it. He's so good at it. I will say that was my own, like I couldn't do anything offensively. Like, my whole game was defense, body position. And like, I would keep the puck and keep my leg.
Starting point is 01:06:29 like ass in their way and then just do kind of like these little sea cuts and they could never get the puck because I would just body them out until I had like an avenue to move it. But I remember like I didn't have any offensive skill. Like even my clearing passes were so bad that I remember like Riggs-Biego like everybody would be pissed because I'd see them on like the wide board and I'd try to like, you know, huck it over their way. And it would not meet them on the ice where the fuck should be. It would be like ankle high, like the worst one could be. But I would just be guns blazing back there trying to get pucks out of the zone.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yeah. We just tried to eventually coach you. It's like you, like when you're partner's with Frankie, it's like we're trying to coach you based on your talents. And we were like, we tried to coach Lurgeon into just area passes. So we'd be like, dude, if I'm like flying across the neutral zone and you've got the puck like at the kind of right of the blue line in our zone, just fire one off the boards. Like high off the glass off the boards and I'll just, I'm faster than everyone else.
Starting point is 01:07:26 I'll just beat them to the puck. But if you try to pass it on my stick, on my tape, like tape to tape, tape, shout out Whitney, like you're just going to miss and the other team's going to now have the puck, and we're going to have to do this all over again. So just like put it into an area where I can retrieve it. You guys eventually put me on the power play and we're just like, stand in front of the goal, we're going to get you a goal. And we're playing a team that we're just whooping up on.
Starting point is 01:07:49 And basically they were just trying to bank pucks off me to go in. And then at one point there was like an open puck and I was diving for. was kind of a loose scramble in front. And I remember hitting it and just hit off the side of the net, obviously didn't go in. But for two minutes, I was pretty much just stationed in front of the net as everybody else circled and pretty much was just throwing pucks at me. Hopefully it would like hit my left arm and go in.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Anyway, you got to record. You got to film your first shift, Frankie. I want to see it. Yeah, send me all the equipment. Thank you very much. Most guys have tried different ways to last longer, but thinking about Frankie's first shift in Men's League roller hockey, probably not going to get it done.
Starting point is 01:08:26 The folks at Roman and online men's health company are changing the game with Roman Swipes. It is the secret to longer lasting sex. Sex is great. It's enjoyable. It's one of the main real reasons we exist as human beings is to have sex, to have intercourse. You want it to last longer. Roman's your answer. Roman Swipes are a clinically proven way to last longer in bed.

You can go to get Roman.com slash four. you're going to get your first month of swipes for just five bucks when you choose a monthly plan. That is get roman.com slash four. Five bucks.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Choose a monthly plan. That's it. First month, five bucks. Get roman.com slash four. Thank you for supporting us and thank you to Roman. Okay. Justin Thomas, Charlie Woods, he had a couple comments, essentially saying that him and Charlie Woods are, you know, they're tight, their boys. J.T. is very close with a one Tiger Woods.
Starting point is 01:09:21 They hang out a lot and therefore it would make sense that he and Charlie Woods. Charlie Woods, who's 11 now, would have hung out quite a bit. JT. said, Charlie Woods just always wants to beat me. It doesn't matter what it is, although he's never beat me in golf or a putting contest, he still talks trash just like his dad. This is obviously, you know, an answer to a question about the P&C, the father-son thing coming up in a few weeks. We're going to have Tiger, Charlie, J.T. and J.T. dad, who have all kind of hung out and spent time together. So it's nice to know that Charlie Woods is a competitive savage already i guess i wouldn't have expected anything different um but it's just nice to hear from
Starting point is 01:09:57 j t directly i'd be infuriating for jt to just like this little fucking 11 or 12 year or however old he is that just like talking so much shit and he can back it up because he's a woods like most kids you're just like whatever you fucking twirp like just stop talking like i'm a fucking professional golfer i'm jesson thomas he's just like i'm charley woods that the answer to um the answer that he has for the rest of his life like i'm charley wood Woods, like do something about it, wins every argument, debate, shit-talking, anything. Like, he's Charlie Woods. Yeah, he is going to shit-talking.
Starting point is 01:10:30 And he's going to beat you soon. He knows it, too. Like, Justin knows he's coming. Right, that's the thing. It's funny that Justin's, where he's 27, he's got to be like, no, I'm supposed to be the young guy right now. I'm not supposed to be getting pushed out already. I'm supposed to be the next generation after Tiger.
Starting point is 01:10:44 And now I've already got the generation coming after me in the form of Charlie Woods talking shit. And I think Frankie's right. like Charlie Woods is going to be hopefully really good. We're really, and I know we shit on people who say don't put expectations on Charlie Woods, but boy, are we really, these expectations are getting sky high. Their own fault, man, he's playing the PNC championship on fucking like NBC in two weeks. Like it's, you turn on fucking national TV and Charlie Woods will be playing golf
Starting point is 01:11:12 against Justin Thomas, the kid's 12 years old. I'm just saying I'm good with it, but they are, boy, are they even more high. They're higher than I thought. they would be. Thank God. I like it. I like it. Good.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Like it's another fucking Woods. Like he's in the limelight. It's it. He's playing tournaments. I think it honestly was Tiger winning the Masters last year. I think just like inevitably paved this path that we're all going to go down and Charlie Woods is going to go down. Because like when you see your father who you'd heard a lot about but then you see him in
Starting point is 01:11:47 this moment where the Augusta National, a whole place is chanting your father's name, and he embraces you in his arms. And then he walks you through, you know, as everyone's like parting like Moses through the Red Sea at fucking Augusta National. And you're already pretty into golf. Like Charlie's going to be obsessed with golf. And he's got the DNA that we've talked about. And now they're signing up for the PNC. It is important to remember that like he's 11. So it's not like he's going to be playing in the U.S. Amateur like next year we get to finally see. Like he's 11. It kind of reminds me. Like in college, Ted Donato, who was our head hockey coach, his son Ryan Donato, who's like
Starting point is 01:12:22 in the NHL, was like 13 at the time. And we all were just like, he would come to practice and stick him around in the locker room and that's around. We like, oh, this little shit. He's like talking shit. We had a good time to play. And then, like, I graduate. I go about my business working in the real world.
Starting point is 01:12:36 And then, like, I flip on the TV and he's just like scoring goals in the NHAC. You know, you're just like, well, wait, like, how did that happen? So I wonder, like, a part of me wonders if J.T, he's so young that he does. doesn't see that yet. Like he just looks at Charlie Woods like just a little kid who can't beat him in a putting contest yet. But I was, I was doing some fun little kind of looking at facts and trying to piece some things together. And like by 2030, J.T. will be 36 years old playing in the Masters. DJ was 36 years old this year when he won the Masters in convincing fashion. And Charlie Woods will be 21 years old, which is how old Tiger Woods was when he won by 12
Starting point is 01:13:12 shot. So like, as much as they're all jokey and having fun now, like, this person will be turn into an adult at some point. And if he's as into golf as they say he is, which he's playing in his fucking golf tournament with his father, Tiger Woods, the greatest player of all five. Like him and JT will cross paths in professional golf for like a decade or more,
Starting point is 01:13:30 which is incredible. It's really fun, really fun to think about kind of scary how fast like the world's going to go. Like Charlie Woods will be on tour within like eight years. That's just, yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 01:13:44 if he does achieve it all. get it. I get the people that are saying, like, don't say that he will be on tour. The kids 12 years old, but like, I get it. I understand. Like, he's got to achieve it. He's got to want it. He's got to go to high school, the whole thing. Like, he'll figure it out, but he'll be on tour, in my opinion. Riggs, the point that you made about Tiger's 2019 Masters when being sort of a launching pad into a different sphere of loving golf, that's very interesting. I think it's true, because Tiger would say beforehand all the time, like my kids say, I'm a YouTube pilot. Like my past is a YouTube highlight, but to actually feel what it was like to walk through Augusta and all that.
Starting point is 01:14:25 Like that's a very good point. And I think if, you know, you go 20 years in future and things have panned out in a certain way in terms of success or in, if that's the path that he chooses, I think that will be the moment where he'll be like, that's when I realized this is what I actually wanted to do. Yeah, like I can see Charlie, like you're saying in one of his speeches, like alluding to that, being like, yeah, you know, golf for me really took a turn in that moment. How wouldn't it? Like, if you're, you know, like me, I still look up to my dad all the time. And, like, in terms of public acknowledgement, like, now amplify that in it, put yourself in Charlie Woods' shoes. It's like, holy cow, right?
Starting point is 01:15:04 Like, I always wanted, like, tell stories like my dad does and, like, kind of have your shit together and be able to take, like, family vacations and provide and go to- Siberia. Go to Siberia and fight fucking grizzly bears. It's like that's just what, and now your dad is getting, you know, his name chanted and you already were pretty in the golf. It's like, of course it's going to amplify that for Charlie. And so seeing how that all pans out, like he could get burnt out, right? Like the expectations game, like we've seen it almost, I don't know what the success rate is for like, you know, super, super superstar athletes offspring, like meeting those expectations.
Starting point is 01:15:45 I feel like it's zero, like they never do. But it will be very, very fun to look at that. I think it's important to remember that he is 11. He's not like 18. It's not like he's close. He's 11. By the time he's 13, he could be like, hey, dang off sucks. Like I'm just into something else.
Starting point is 01:16:03 And that would be completely fine. I think he's on a trajectory for that not to be the case. Yeah, I mean, it happens, man. Fucking Ken Griffey, Ken Griffey Jr., Bobby Bonds, Barry Bonds. Like it's like those kids were around the locker rooms like Prince Fielder. I remember there's a video of him coming out with like his dad in Detroit hitting home runs out of the stadium when he was 12. Like he ended up being a home run champion or whatever the fuck he ended up. What?
Starting point is 01:16:26 Steph Curry. Steph Curry. Like it happens. Like it's a fucking. It's a thing that happens. And honestly it happens pretty often. Like you see these kids around the locker rooms and you're like, oh man, that's that like LeBron's son is literally going to be the best basketball player in the world. he is like he's just going to be like he's fucking outrageous yeah it can work out where the guy where the
Starting point is 01:16:48 son is just as good or better it can your coach and your teacher and your idol is the best of all time so it's like you have a pretty goddamn good start on being good and if he just has the gene pool and has the athletic ability and stuff which it looks like he does because his swing is mint and choice is what a lot of a lot of a lot of the Australians are saying you ever like that's a That was a choice? Yeah, very choice. Like, that was choice. Ooh, I like that.
Starting point is 01:17:15 You like that? Yeah, I'm into that. That's nice. Yeah, it's, his swing was, like, that was, yeah, it was choice. You're 100% on how to use it. No, I'm not. But I know, I know choice is a term that can be used in the Aussie land. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Yeah, so I think that, I think all the expectations are. Whether he wants to do it or not, really. Yeah. He'll want to do it. I agree. Okay, we got some lurch had to drop out. He had to go sling drones. We still got the three of us.
Starting point is 01:17:46 And we still, you know, I did this whole thing where I put down 20 from the galleries. I got a bunch of really good ones. And I was like, man, this should be able to drive a hell of a show. And we've now spoken for an hour and 20 minutes and we haven't gotten to really a single one of them yet. So we're going to get through some. Trust me. We're talking about fucking roer hockey and God knows what. And men's league hockey, which I enjoy.

Starting point is 01:20:33 How good it sounds? 4Play 25. You go to bushnellgoth.com. Four play 25 is it going to save you $25. I'm going to hit you with a quick Tiger Woods stat of the day. I retweeted this yesterday. I saw it from Justin Ray, who does great work with stats. He said this is Dustin Johnson's 106th career week as the number one ranked player in the official
Starting point is 01:20:53 world golf rankings, which ties Roy McElroy for third most all time. If DJ holds the number one spot every week until Christmas, 2031, he will tie Tiger Woods' record of 683 weeks. Holy fuck my face. And DJ's been playing such good golf. That's crazy. He's played such good golf for a long time. He's 36 years old, like he's been doing it for 15 years on tour.
Starting point is 01:21:20 And he's still, at this point, even though he's third all time, he would have to hold that spot for another 12. 12 years, pretty much, 11 years before he would tie Tiger Woods' record. It's just things like that that really put it in perspective. I mean, that's fucking nuts, dude. That's why we get the expectations game with Charlie Woods. It's like people don't realize what happened here. Yeah, I do think we are reaching a generation now.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Frankie was obviously a little young during all the Tiger Woods. Well, no, or is that Jordan? Either one, like we're getting to a point now where people. That was a little young, yeah. I mean, I was like seven when he was in 2000. So I mean, like, I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Yeah. But for the generation behind you, it's now becoming almost myth.
Starting point is 01:22:09 It's a myth about what happened. Like, so it's always good to be reminded. But even those stats add to the myth. So as sobering as those stats are, it almost puts more distance between Tiger being a real human being. Yeah. I mean, what's crazy is there's going to be people that grow up in 20 years. years that have the same arguments that I have about Wayne Gretzky, where they're going to be like, well, if it's played nowadays, like, with all the technology and the different, like, I'm basically
Starting point is 01:22:38 making fun of myself right now, like, all the technology and different changes to the golf course. It's like, no chance he would have dominated for 31, whatever, 600 fucking weeks, however many weeks that is. Like, it's just impossible because the last 40 years that hasn't even come close. Same with Wayne Gretzky. No one will ever get that many goals, assist, points. It's just impossible. The league is too, there's too much parody in the NHL.
Starting point is 01:23:02 You can't do it. So like, but people are like, well, if you grew up with Wayne Gretsky, you'd understand that he was just better than everyone else. And he didn't allow people to come close to his record because he was just better than everyone else. So it is funny the fact that like it is turning into somewhat of a myth. Like we'll have to be those Wayne Gretzky truthers for Tiger and be like you just don't get it. Like the reason why he was number one that much is because he was that much better than everyone else. It doesn't matter whatever he played in.
Starting point is 01:23:26 he played the best golf of all time in that span of time. And also the reason why there's more parity now, probably in golf, or why there is more parity golf, is because he launched a new generation that wanted to play golf. Correct. It's his doing. Like, it's not Tiger's fault that he didn't have all the competition in the world, like that there is this top flight talent now,
Starting point is 01:23:46 but he did spark an entire generation. So we are. We're going to be the old man, you know, bouncing our grandchildren on our knee, trying to ingrain into these kids that Tiger actually was, you know, a real person that walked this planet and he was spectacular. And there's parity because he hasn't really played that much the last 10 years. So he allowed people to get wins.
Starting point is 01:24:06 And he allowed them to groom themselves to not have to deal with this Darth Vader-esque force that was always in every tournament winning. Like if Tiger would just stayed healthy and nothing happened, who knows if any of these guys are who they are right now. Like he just continuously keeps winning and dominating. Like we don't know these people. Like there's no one with not. Like how do you know if Rory has?
Starting point is 01:24:26 like major you don't know anything he opened the door for these guys to just take the reins and it's been harder for him to get back because he's older yeah i mean look tiger woods at one point right like we're talking about how dominant dj is right now um he he won in boston he shot 30 on each one by like 11 he had a couple other pretty convincing wins he won at augusta in pretty convincing fashion he's number one ranked player in the world he he has 24 career wins he's 36 years old and we're looking and he's won like he's the only guy that has won a tournament every year for like the last whatever it is 13 years like DJ is so fucking impressive like tiger woods at one point in 2000 2001 he won all four majors in a row which included winning the u.s open by 15 shots it included
Starting point is 01:25:13 winning at st. Andrews the old course by eight shots it included winning in such an iconic way where he chased the ball under the hole while pointing at it in a playoff at ball hall and then he had eight months off where the entire world was talking about how he's going to have the chance to win the tiger slam and like what's the tiger slam you know what's it going to be is that count as the grand slam we're going into augusta all the buildup and then he went out there in 2001 and he defeated david duval and phil nicholson who were grinding their dicks off on the back nine trying to win this tournament and defeated them to win four major championships in a row like he just fucking he has DJ has 24 wins and that's like holy shit tiger has 82 and
Starting point is 01:25:56 For the last decade, the last decade, he has like zero. He's just like, he had, he's had 82 basically for fucking a decade. It's like, it's crazy. Dude, he like, yeah, he, like missed most of his 30s. Right. When, like, he would have been, if everything had worked out in a different way, which I know that's hindsight and whatever. But, like, when you're a golfer, professional golfer and you're in your 30s,
Starting point is 01:26:21 you are still very, very dangerous. You're, like, still in your peak. I feel like golf peaks are, like, late 20s. one is to like mid-30s because you have enough. I mean, he was super early, but you have enough experience to know how to like get there on Sunday and stuff like guys. I mean, Phil's a late bloomer. Like DJ's like he's number one in the world.
Starting point is 01:26:39 He's 36. So it's like he really missed out on some incredibly, incredibly valuable years. That's got to be his like, that's the biggest downfall, obviously. All the personal stuff is what it is. But like the fact that we didn't get a Tiger Woods in his prime 30s, like early. mid-30s and it's just a, it's a shame because it's been about a decade that he's been out of the game and he's slowly coming back now. Obviously, the managers went and, you know, he's come back as always know the whole thing, but like, fuck, man, we really could have, it's 2014 Tiger Woods
Starting point is 01:27:12 could have been a problem for people, like a problem. Dude, think about this. He was at 14 majors 12 years ago. Right. 12 and a half years ago. He was at 14 majors. So like he was, what like 31 at the time 32 so it's like dude he could have over the next 10 years even if he just wins one a year which is like which wouldn't have been a no-brainer that he was going to do that like he'd be at 24 majors and what 120 wins like having 14 majors by the time with 31 is fucking stupid like that's stupid stupid and like that 14th was won 100. a broken leg with a torn ACL. And like, he just beat everybody. Like, he just beat everybody. It was just, it's not even, it's laughable what that man did to the world of golf. And the thought,
Starting point is 01:28:08 right, like, the thought, and we're going to have to, Frank, he's right. Like, we're going to have to battle this argument. And we've already had to start doing it over the last four, like, our whole careers at Barstool Sports, we've had to do it. Like, we had to take shit on the rundown, on the radio, nonstop. We had to have, we had legit heated battles with Big Cat about like, no, you wrote Tiger Woods off. You don't get it. Like this man is the greatest to ever do it. Here's what he was actually able to accomplish and he will be back. And we're going to have to fight that because, you know, we make the argument like frankly just said that like Jack Nicholas, like, okay, he's got all these records like who was he beating? There weren't these guys are all working out now. I'm looking at
Starting point is 01:28:49 fucking photos. They're like ripping darts and they're drinking on the course and this is who he's beaten like he's beaten like basically like me and frankie and trint out there on the weekend like that's impressive whatever at one point we all we were very close we wanted to basically hire an auditor to go through sam sneed's wins how many of these really count how many he won a women's u.s. open i think it was crazy his his stats are still up for debate and now with the next generation in regards of title we're going to be those guys they're going to say like who like tiger that's cool that he won all those majors and he was beating people by 15 shots but like who was playing golf at that time like he was beating these people up to well actually like
Starting point is 01:29:33 Phil mickleson who's got five majors and 40 something wins and is one of the great players ever top 10 or 15 player ever like Ernie else who's an absolute stud who's like winning majors and who's got the sweetest swing of all time and all these fucking guys now coming back in this generation like He, last year, he beat Brooks, he beat DJ, he beat JT, he beat all of these guys down the stretch of Augusta. They're like, no, he's beating everybody. And we're going to have to fight that fight forever. We're just going to have to fight it forever.
Starting point is 01:30:02 I'm happy to do it. I think we're all happy to do it. I'm happy to do it, too. I don't really mind. One thing I was thinking about the other day on the golf course, you know, I went in, it's obviously COVID. We started the show talking a lot about COVID. We, all bunch of different courses have obviously, like, banned or gotten rid of rakes on the golf course.
Starting point is 01:30:21 And of course, I was playing around, they just had rakes out there. I was thinking, how many people do you think in the history of all of golf this year, how many people do you think have actually gotten COVID-19 from touching a rake on a golf course? I don't know. Probably not that many, honestly. It's got to be zero in the zero point percentage. Has to be. Do you think it's higher than zero?
Starting point is 01:30:47 No. Like zero people. Oh. I mean so many people have gotten it that like the odds are like one person got it from touching a rake at a golf course the thing is in the beginning of COVID I think we all did we still don't know what the fuck this virus does so like there was talks about it living on cardboard and like handles and like it could it didn't it couldn't it couldn't transmit outside and all these things so like and I think that's definitely taken a step back. a little bit. Like people were washing every single package that came into their house. Like, I think people that have been getting packages to their house now, like they're, like, they're fine. Like, I don't know. I don't know the stats or the size behind it, but I think it's a little bit like, it's definitely slowed down. When Dave was doing unboxing, they were like,
Starting point is 01:31:35 you're dead. Like, it's impossible. There's no shit. It's like all that. Like, it lives inside cardboard. So like, I mean, does it live on a wooden rake in the middle of a sand trap, like, outside? Like, does it like survive on that? I don't know. If you're passing it from person to person, maybe like that's where like i guess that i guess that's where it can spread is like if you're catty like hands you the fucking thing like all right like you're basically just sweating on this fucking like rake i'm all for not having rakes by the way i don't know if i told you that i love the no rake world i love being able to fucking lift clean in place my fucking balls in these fucking i mean oh i'm in a i'm in a footprint what are you crazy when do you ever get that fucking
Starting point is 01:32:17 liberty. My favorite part about it is how much it helps pace of play. Like not having to rake a bunker is awesome. It's amazing. I mean, I still give it the little foot thing. Like you still clean it up. Like foot swipe. It's a courtesy thing. Backer road was awesome. Yeah. And like also it is like some like even like the raking system and stuff, sometimes guys just don't do it correctly and you end up in like somewhat of a footprint and it's bullshit and like you don't want to pick it up and like move it because like someone's going to see you do it. Like now it's just like acceptable to be like, yeah, this is a fucking shitty lie in the bunker, which is already a hazard. Like, I'm just going to fix this because, like, this hasn't been raped in 25 fucking years,
Starting point is 01:32:53 and I just, I'm going to fix it. And it's a really good feeling to be able to just, like, put it in a nicer spot. Yeah, I think it's, I think almost everywhere should just go that way. I couldn't agree with you more. Like, I get that a lot of, like, nicer clubs, they're going to have rakes and they want the bunkers to be in perfect shape for photos and because people pay a bunch of money for membership and they bring guests out, five. But overall, I mean, when Tara Edie is, of course, the New Zealand track that they have no
Starting point is 01:33:17 rakes and they don't rake bunkers it's just like if you're in something that's clearly a problem from another human or something you just fucking place it like you said you still have to hit the bunker shot it's not like it's not like you just get to put it in the hole it's like you still have to still a hazard you're in a giant pit of sand with a fucking butter knife in your hand and yeah what do we I'm not I'm not okay all of a sudden like I'm not gonna I don't want to be like even more penalized because someone like lurch sank his body into the sand 10 minutes before me and like now I'm just in this like bottomless pit of sand. There we go.
Starting point is 01:33:51 What was the over-under on you talking shit about lurch after he had to leave the shit? It happened so naturally, man. Like it just rolls off the tongue and it's just, it feels so right. Like, I don't even think about it. Like, I just know he's not here so I can say his name. You get no problem whatsoever. Yeah. Jesus.
Starting point is 01:34:10 All right. I think that's all we got. Myakoba this week there in Mexico. This is, I think, like, the last tournament for a while until maybe. Some good golfers playing in that. fucking tournament. Dude, there's some, there's some talent down there.
Starting point is 01:34:20 JT's down there. I got Paperez's down there. Doug Gims down there, who we've had known on Joe Damon's down there. Brooks Kepka, Tony Fee now, fucking Harris English, Abraham Answer, Daniel Berger, Victor Hovlin. I mean, it's a fucking tournament.
Starting point is 01:34:35 Somebody was out about having Abraham Answer on the show, which I said, absolutely. We'd love to have him on. That'd be a fun one after the way that we kind of treated him in Australia last year. I'd like to know what he thinks about that whole thing where I said, because for anyone doesn't remember, remember, I said that Tiger Woods is going to win his match so,
Starting point is 01:34:50 so impressively today that Abraham Answer will quit the game of golf when he's done with him. And that's what sparked old man media saying, like, who the fuck are these guys? They have fucking credit. They have media credentials in Australia. We have to sit inside this goddamn media center and I have to eat my fucking lentil soup and wear my white new balances and they put me by the fucking window. I'm done with it.
Starting point is 01:35:12 And these fucking hooligans out here get to fucking just go on beyond the rope. and they get to say that golfers should quit the game of golf forever and they have no respect for these people and their culture. Like, shut the fuck up. I wish that A. Ramansor quit the game of golf because he got absolutely murked. I hope he comes on the show. So anyways, I really, I do hope that he comes on to see how different your monologue changes when he's on the Zoom screen.
Starting point is 01:35:38 What do you guys, what were your guys top artists on Spotify this year? How do I look? I couldn't figure it out. I have the most basic white dude. I had Drake. Drake was my number one. Oh, man. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 01:35:56 That's very interesting. Drake's the biggest artist in the world. I like popular music. So that's just what's going to happen. Let's see. Briggs, you can just Google Spotify Rewind and it'll just open up in the app on Google. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:36:09 mine was going to be that. I'm not, you know, when it comes to music, I like the hits. I like pop music. I like pop music. like popular hip hop i like you know if it's good if the masses like it there's a good chance that i'm
Starting point is 01:36:21 gonna like it so you know i sent i sent the like you said i clicked that on your phone um i had a i had just a wild roller coaster music on mine and it's pretty i mean it's definitely frankie beryl music but number one was foo fighters no doubt about that number two was green day number three was the beatles and number four was jake owen yeah so like i tweeted out like what's up Jake Owen. Like, why is he on this list? I guess I just listened to a ton of Jake Owen this year. Like, obviously, he's my fourth. I listen to him more than Blakeway too. I, the problem that I, and I think someone on a stream recently came up with it, that I get compulsively obsessed with all of my stuff, like really, like, like, I listen to DMAs now from Australia and their choice. Their shit is
Starting point is 01:37:09 choice. And I fucking am obsessed with every song they've ever come out with. And then maybe in like a month, I'll just stop listening to the music because I'll find someone else and like, and then I'll remember DMAs later on. But like, that's why I don't have them in my tops because I just go like hard for a month and then move on. I need to like move them in my categories. I need to broaden my horizons and spread it out amongst the year as opposed to just a couple weeks. Yeah, my top were my top five were Drake,
Starting point is 01:37:37 Action Bronson, Mac Miller, Jack Johnson, and Machine Gun Kelly. Wow, I like that spread. All right. I'm going to go, mine are, uh, mine are kind of pretty, pretty basic and predictable, I would guess. Cole Swindell, Jake Owen, Thomas Rett, Elton John, and the Strike. Wow. Elton John, huh? Woof.
Starting point is 01:37:59 I love Sir Elton John. A little tiny dancer. Oh, dude, I think Sir Elton, he's, he just, his jams, he's the fucking, I love, by the way, a rocket man, great fucking film. Absolutely. Really good film. Dave didn't like that one. He liked, um, he liked the, the, the, the queen. one more, which I think is fair.
Starting point is 01:38:16 Like, the Queen one's good, but I thought the Elton John one was really good too. Yeah, I liked Rocket Man. The Queen one was really, really good, but Dave was harsh. I remember we got into over that on the radio. My mom, like, just, dude, going to the amount of hockey practices and road trips that we did, you know, to hockey tournaments as a kid, and I would, you know, my mom would always drive me, and she's just a gigantic Elton John fan, so that stuck with me forever. Yeah, he's got, obviously, he got great news.
Starting point is 01:38:41 And then Lee Bryce was in my top five songs. rumor because I remember getting introduced to that song early in the year. Remember how fucking hard we went to, like, that is just such a good fucking song. Like not, yeah, I think. Yeah, and I went to his concert. I feel like it was like right before COVID hit. Like it was in January, February. It must have been earlier because that was on the stretch where we were traveling like crazy
Starting point is 01:39:06 where we went to, I can never remember if we went to Kisner's thing first or Jake Owens things first. I know it was all in the same week. They were the beginning of the week and the end of the week. But I remember Lee Bryce, that was the first I had heard of him, and he played rumors, and I got addicted to that song as well. Yeah. Okay, folks.
Starting point is 01:39:24 I think that's it. That was a fun show. Thank you for submitting them from the galleries that we really didn't get to. But good news is next week, we're just going to crank through them. And we're doing two shows a week all the way through the holidays, so Christmas, New Year, whatever. So we're going to just let it fly and, you know, churn our way through a lot of these from the galleries over the next several weeks.
Starting point is 01:39:43 So thank you for submitting. Everybody have a good weekend. Enjoy myacoba. Let's root for our guys and hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. And also thank you to everyone that tagged us. I don't know if we said this in the show of us being their number one podcast on Spotify. I mean, this one guy had like 18,000 minutes listened this year. That guy needs to get checked out.
Starting point is 01:40:01 I wish I had his name on here. But like that's just too many minutes to be listening to me just word vomit. Like that's crazy down. But I appreciate you guys. We had a lot of fucking people that were saying that we were there number one. Well, I felt, you know, I was doing the retweet thing. I saw a couple come in. I was like, I'm going to retweet these.
Starting point is 01:40:19 These look good for us. And I didn't realize, like, they just kept coming in. So I was like, well, I can't retweet thousands of them. So you're right, Frankie. We do appreciate everybody. One guy, I think, listened to seven episodes in one day. That's a problem. Like you can't, that's like 10, 11 hours, maybe more of us just word vomiting, like you said.
Starting point is 01:40:36 But I will say, too, I ran into a guy down here at Grimaldi's Pizza, which is right next to my new joint. and, you know, he said, what's up? These big golfers are like a plus three or four handicapped, trying to make it playing like semi-pro. And he was with his girlfriend or wife. And she said, she's like, you're like, you guys are like the only golf-related content or podcast that we can listen to together that I like really, really enjoy it.
Starting point is 01:41:03 And I was like, oh, my God, that's amazing. And she was like, yeah, it's because like most of the time you guys don't even talk about golf. You just kind of like ramble on about random shit. and we just laugh and we can listen to it together. And I was like, that's great. We'll take that as a compliment. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing,
Starting point is 01:41:18 but I often forget that we have listeners. Totally. I mean, you don't think I forget that? I just talk about nothing half the time. And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way because obviously when we're at golf tournaments or we're at a golf course or we're just walking the street,
Starting point is 01:41:32 people are great and the fans have always been awesome. But when we're sitting in this Zoom right here or when we were back in the studio before the pandemic hit, I would just sit there and I would forget. And I don't know if that makes for a better or worse podcast, but it is something that happens. I think it's hundreds of thousands of people too, right? And I don't even want to know that number.
Starting point is 01:41:48 I think it's a holy fuck type number that I don't want to know the answer to because I will change the way I go about the podcast. And I'm sure a lot of people listening to this being like, please, for the love of God, change the way you go about this podcast. But, I mean, what is it? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm not knowing how many people I'm speaking to because I'll stutter. and I'll fucking go down that hill, that avalanche, that absolute, I can't stop myself rolling.
Starting point is 01:42:15 I feel like I'm doing it right now. I just like, I don't want to do that more. So just let me be. Think about this, Frankie. More like, you know, definitely significantly more than one Michigan big house is listening to every word that you're saying. Right. It's like speaking into a microphone and every person just intensely just listening to what you're doing. But one, do you listen to 10?
Starting point is 01:42:39 yeah more than one right this one dude listened to 10,257 minutes of us this year he his name is Ray Baker wait that seems like that's wrong but whatever why is that a why is that familiar name
Starting point is 01:42:55 I don't know that name Ray Baker oh maybe not another dude listen to eight four plays in one day we appreciate every last one of you I'm just not going to think about you when I'm talking into my laptop that guy that guy listened to like seven days worth of foreplay yes
Starting point is 01:43:14 great shout up to those people man shout out to those people that sounds like a fucking punishment it's like you fucking do something bad to like you sit here and listen to it all day long for seven days no we really do appreciate it it is crazy and our fucking audience is so big
Starting point is 01:43:34 and like just at bar still general and that's like pumping our own tires like barcel just when you realize where it goes to fucking like new zealand and australia and china and shit like people are fucking listening to it from all around the world people are stationed all over places and like the army and the navy and shit it's crazy who listens and like the cool ones too where people are obviously sending us where foreplay was the number one but they could also do their top five where it was like four play chicklets kstsradi radio chicks in the office like people who are just riding with the barsole brand in general those are cool too.
