Fore Play - Let’s put “golfing” on a t-shirt

Episode Date: September 10, 2019

Should “golf” as a verb be universally accepted as correct? We think so.

Nothing makes you wake up more than a voice crack. You know, sometimes you can't tell if everyone could tell that your voice cracked. Like sometimes it's in your own head, maybe. I knew that you knew that I knew. You heard it because right when I looked up, we were making pure eye content. You went from reading something to like, whoa, I have to, something happened that just was alarming. Totally affected and disrupted my situation.

Anyway, we're back September 10th. Notice how I went a little forward in time there. It's actually the ninth one recording for him. Very nice. I wasn't sure if that was going to, you know, discombobulate you. Nope, I get it. Situation. Big show.

We're coming off of Behind the Greens, Assistant Pros, Club Pros, big thanks to everybody who called in, who emailed in. I got to say, I forgot how much fun that is doing those shows. We got to do more of those. Behind the Greens. It's like behind the scenes, behind the greens. It's a little play on words. Yeah, you never know what you're going to get.

I mean, you don't know. People come in with all types of stories. And for anybody out there who doesn't know, we don't cut anything, really. I don't think we cut a single thing. I get asked that all the time. So you guys record, then you cut it all up? No, you just talk for a couple hours. I was actually talking with KFC radio guys.

I don't think they really edit or cut really much, but I think others do a lot of it. Yeah. So we got to be one of the least edited podcasts on the network. I mean, we don't edit anything. No. Sometimes Jake will send it to us seconds after we record. seconds. He'll be like, is this, this is good, ready to go up. Like, Jake, I'm literally still sitting in the studio.

Quick fingers, Jake. It's like, just run it. I just put in the ads and that's it. We don't. So that's a little, a little behind the scenes for all listeners out there. We don't edit really anything. I would say we did that. It was like our own little behind the greens.

We just got a behind the scenes. Yeah, that was for a perplexception right. There's a lot going on. Yeah. We, uh, one time I want to say behind the greens from a couple months ago where somebody told a story about like a course that their family owns or something. like that and the guy emailed us after and was like hey actually that story he was like pretty incriminating on our club can you just not put that in and we were like yeah sure and we cut that

yeah we don't want to burn anybody no no and a few times we've done interviews where guys have said things that could just because of the PC culture potentially get them in trouble that we'll just edit out because it's not that important that happens very rarely but outside of that we don't really edit no no we just kind of roll right through it but a big thanks to everybody who uh who called in for the behind the the greens pros edition if you missed that last it was about a two hour 15 minute shows to go check that one out. We just played Liberty National this morning. I'm looking at this picture that we have up in the studio.

It's a fantastic picture of myself. It's of you, yeah. There's a lot to get to. Good finish to the swing. Really good. Man, I was jealous. Your driver's swing looks great today. It was good today.

Front nine was a debacle, but I picked it up. I played some golf on the back nine. You finished, I'll let you tell it. You finished with it. So I started the front night with a 48. It was a disaster. Couldn't put for anything. It was missing every single fairway.

and then finish the back nine with a 41 and five straight pars. Wow. Yeah. We played a strong finish. We played from 15, 16, 17, 17, 18, done. That's great. Playing from like what? Dude, we played it from 6,800 yards.

Yeah. And it's a PGA tour course that, like, the greens were running. I mean, it's a hard golf. Dude, 18 was playing like 465 into the way, like not really into the wind, but like deep. Yep. 14's that little par three that we're all standing on. That's a great little. Dude, we watch guys hit in the bunker there.

All the time. All day. Yeah. I hit that to what? You hit that to probably six feet. Unbelievable. Back right pin. Missed the birdie putt.

Can't make a putt from. I may start putting righty. He also did a lot of, what? You did a whole like, my favorite part was probably six, seven feet, which on PJ Tor is probably, they're probably like 40% from there or something. And you stepped up to it like, I just have to make this. There's no way you can't make this birdie putt. Yeah.

And then you obviously missed it. Were you close? No. Didn't even burn the end. No, I was like low the whole way. I've gotten so many messages about putting ready. So many lefties have turned. and righty with a lefty grip is that right yeah i've gotten like an incredible amount of dms and handicaps

above or below 10 for the most part i mean i know two guys very personal like like my buddy who called into behind the green is a fucking pro true puts righty and bro ronc nelson's like a four he puts righty i mean i there's guys that do it okay it's fucking crazy are you're gonna so i just can't physically think about like let me just take deep breath and just give it your best try i can't think about knocking you're the worst putter i know Yeah, but like, the way he handles himself, there's no way that he's calm, cool, and I would argue you guys putting is almost identical. It's that bad.

So if he's thinking about going the other hand, like, who are you laughing at? Maybe you should try lefties. Maybe we both do left. Next week, Lurches is out there lefty. Just exchange putters. I'll tell you what, when Breed was close to me, he solved me for a day. At Bethpage with you guys, I was phenomenal. I was rolling the ball.

Great. That was, that was a stunning day. That was unbelievable. It was like the best I've ever. Put it. It's literally left me. What did he give you there? He gave me?

So I do too many angles with my elbows and everything. Take the angles out. Yes. What does that even mean? I don't know what that. So every angle that you make with your wrists, with your elbows, with your arms is just bringing a new angle into the club. So there's got to be some sort of multiple effect in that.

So if I just straighten out my elbows, that's less angles bringing into the club, less of a miss. That's essentially how Bryson, I feel like, hits a regular golf, not just putt. He just stays his arms. Yeah, he tries to turn himself. than a robot. Yeah. Like with,

from mathematics to his swing to the length of the club, I think the whole thing he's trying to do is trying to create the most repeatable swing possible. He, I will say, watching his game,

he's one of those guys who gives you hope. Because you think, right, and I've talked about this before, this thing, but when Rory swings a driver, you just,

you just drop everything and you drop all hope and you go, I could never fucking do that. Never, ever. That's just not possible. You know, and when like,

Bryce and Deschambeau swings a driver, I'm like, you know what? I can get close to that. Yeah. Like that's, I agree. That's, and same with, like. You put your body into like a body cast and try to make that swing.

Same with like a Jim Furrick or somebody like that. It's like, you know, I could get somewhere in the ballpark of that I could do. Again, now when Rory swings or when Tiger swings it, you just, they're like, nope, never. Never, never, ever, not even close. Not within 8 million yards of that. Can I get to? Riggs has been piping his drives. Really?

I'm hitting it well right now. Yeah. I was a little rattled about how poorly I scored today, but I'm also, I'm taking a lot of positive because I've been. hitting the ball. Well, here's the weird thing. Like, your drives are, you were crushing some drives, crushing them. They were titanic drives. And then other drives, they looked like they were going to be, like, I've never seen seen it. I think on 18 was one of them where you like piped on right down the middle.

I was like, holy fuck. And then the ball just kind of died out there. There's some, your misses are still going straight. Right. What I'm trying to get to. Right. That's pretty much where I'm at where like, when I am catching them and you know the sweet spot feel everybody knows that. Like I'm moving them out there around like with you, which you had it pretty far, I consider. You and Lurch both hit it pretty similar distances. And then when I miss him a little bit, I'm not hitting him like poor. I'm not hitting him way left or right.

They're still going straight just like not quite as far. Yeah. So, you know, people know I tried to tweak my swing pretty drastically like a month and a half ago. I'm getting a lot closer. I had a stretch. So played Fisher's Island, which I'm going to get into later. We'll talk more details about that. But we played, you know, we played 18.

We had a good time. I didn't score great, but I felt like I was hitting a good. We went out and did an emergency 10 holes. I hit 10 greens regulation in a row. Whoa. Damn. That's fine. That's got to be like the first time I ever did that.

There's no. And then I hit the first two today at Liberty. So I had hit 12 greens regulation in a row. And I was sitting. And at that, when we walked off the second green, which I three put it, and that those 10 hole stretch, I played at two over par at Fisher's. I shot 38 on the front hitting every single green regulation. Now, I will say, the greens have been punched two days beforehand.

Okay. So, I mean, take it what it is. Still, not great. But point being like, I'm starting to strike my ball. I'm still scoring pretty terribly. But I think you can iron those things out. Yeah. uh, Frankie, like I said,

Frankie fucking finished with five parts in a row. That's great. That's impressive. Yeah, from like a decent length. Totally. Like playing the course like legit from, yeah, from the tea to the hole.

It was, it was some good golf, man. That's awesome. Yeah. The big, the biggest thing for me is just getting off the tea with my like pure drive swing. Like if I can pump it out there,

I'm always giving myself a chance. Once I start pulling the ball, it's crazy. Like I pull the ball on the front. That's your big miss. Oh my God. It's like I can feel what I do all. also like I literally on what did you pull in the water?

No, no. No, I used an iron. Oh, nice. No, he used an iron. He kind of missed it a little bit, but he's out in the left, and then you're fine. In the back of the green, then three putt and whatever. Trent Daddy, he hit one in the water off the tea and it went down. I found water all.

How many water balls? Eight. Seven. Seven, right? The magic's gone. No, it's not. The Iron Hill's magic feels like it's gone. Prince has money off the tea.

Once I'm back with you, you'll be fine. I'll be honest, Trent, Daddy. I think that a lot of that were club selectionaires. I think you got a pull driver on almost every tea. I think you're right. Just hit driver. Like even that first hole, I know we were all pulling three wooded to irons. I think I just ripped driver down the left with your little cut.

Yep. And like, who gives a shit? You can't be thinking like three. Because like you hit that thing so consistently. Right. It's and you don't get in much trouble with it usually. So I think you got to stick to that driver. Once you middle part of the round, you started just whipping that bad boy out everywhere and you were in every hole.

Yeah. No, you're right. Yeah. The driver is my go-to club. I got to keep using that. I wish I had not put it in the water so many times. But other than that, I think we're getting there. but it's still, we'll have rounds like this where it's like,

we're kind of all over the place. I don't know what this does for why I stopped pulling the ball, but all I did on the back of eye is I teed the ball up, like significantly higher with my driver. Is that right? Yeah. Interesting. I don't know if it's like a mental thing to come through it

because you just have more room maybe. I don't know what it is. Like mentally I was just coming through the ball. But I noticed that like there's lines on my teeth and I was going two lines higher just to. No, that's real. If you tee it up higher, it's much harder to pull the ball. It is.

Yeah. Okay. If you tee up lower, yeah. I will say, why should the length, why should the height, I would have, a couple of weeks ago, I would have heavily doubted you, but ever since you were right about your fucking win calculation, now I look at you as someone who really knows their figures. You got some credibility on that. You think there's signs behind, teed up a little higher. If you tee it up higher, it's much harder to pull the ball than four, than higher up. All right.

Yeah. Is that almost like, like, in baseball, you can like pull a low and inside fastball and like, but getting on top of it higher. Yeah. I mean, well, we just finished up a big tennis week. I literally think about tennis kind of the same way. It's like a high ball. It's very hard to. All right.

That makes sense. Pull. A high ball is harder to pull. It's much easier to cut and push it across. So if it's in the same spot, just like it's teed up higher. Yeah. It's the same way. Like if you, you know, it's a little bit like back and forward to your stance a little bit.

You know, if it's out in front of you, it's harder to pull that golf shot than it is if it's on your back foot. That is very true. I've been starting to think about it now like baseball-wise. Like if somebody threw like a high float. floater out like I it'd be almost no way to pull it impossible right but if they hit one low and inside it you like your miss is going to be a fucking low yank right or like you hit it off your ankle or something don't totally yeah which how it feels off the T sometimes all right so I think we just iron

something out someone may be listening to this being like they're so fucking wrong I think I'll find out time will tell because it made a significant difference yes for me you had so I will say for you I feel like it's more your irons I would say I feel like you pull Like even you'll have like a nine iron in your hand and make what feels like a nice like swing, but you just pull it like hard. And it starts right, goes right, because you're lefty where I feel like you're usually pretty consistent off the tee. Yeah.

You just get the tops going sometimes. But other than that, I feel like you don't hit it left or right very often. The tops off the tee I get just like once around. I'll just take a three wood and think I can just like put it out there and I'll just top it. It's crazy. Lurch knows I've been known to do that. I'll have a great round going where I'll be hitting it great all day and I'll just top one out of the blue and make like triple.

What happened there? I'm like, I don't know. I felt like every other swing. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, many times. Like, oh, did you get like something in your back swing there? No, that was honestly in my brain.

Identical to every other thing. That's the most frustrating thing I think about golf. I mean, that's golf in a nutshell. That really is. 100%. All of them feel the same. The good ones, the bad ones. There was a moment today.

We're playing the 11th pole, and it was like a 200-yard par three. And it was like, we were right in the middle around, where skins are getting intense. And I stepped up first, and I hit this five iron. And I, for every reason, it was like, the sky was kind of light. and I just couldn't see where the ball goes and I looked up. I took a nice divot, my fire environment, looked up.

I like, don't see it. There's water, maybe 30, 40 yards left in the pin. I'm looking, don't see it. Just a splash in the water. I was like, right before it splash, I was like, where'd that one go? You guys are like, left. I just said after, I go,

I'll be honest, I felt like an awesome swing. Yeah. It just felt like such a good swing. No, where's that? It's got to be right at the pin, right? It felt great. No, that's 40 yards left, buddy. That's right in water.

I just, I remember thinking right, I happened out, ooh, that was nice. It just, it was not even close. Instant double. It was the immediate double. So, yeah, when you're not good at golf, that's a little. That literally is golf in a nutshell. It's a polar opposite sometimes when the sun's in your face and you don't see it. And you're like, oh, that had to be bad, right?

No, you're right down the middle, right side. That's, that's the best feeling because you're like, you could have told me that pole is out of bounds. I'd re-tee right now. Dude, I don't believe you. A hundred percent. That must be a lot. No, I saw it the whole time. I think we should still check it.

That's definitely not me. Yeah, and then I think it was like the seventh hole today where I had just come off, put one in the water on the previous hole. And I, it's a hard part four. And I stepped up and swung pretty hard at this thing. And I remember right at impact thinking, like, man, we're way out of whack. Oh, God, I looked up. I mean, it was a missile, tight draw right down the right center of the fairway. I was just like, what is going on.

That's when you know you have full control of your game. Oh, no, I know exactly what to do up there. I almost let go with a driver. It was like my best drive of the day. You guys were like, you smash that one. I was like, yeah, no, yeah, totally. So a hot take after the round, Liberty National is awesome. Yep.

You know? This video is going to be. If you ever have a chance to play it, which you probably don't. Just very jealous. You know. I mean, I legit. God bless. I just couldn't.

You did. You had a really good chance. But it was tough. And views on there that's just, you know, it's crazy. I mean, the pictures are out. I was going to say, we got, now we have a professional photographer. It feels like that we were, I was saying. It feels like the course that.

God damn it. I'm going to break that camera. I mean, no, you gave that to him. I'm going to break that. You laid that. What are we calling them? I mean, what do you say? Riggs just whispered in the mic here with Rigsie photos.

All right. Should you wrap up the pot? What do you want? I do, Ted put it on a T for it. I didn't say, hey, you got a new nickname with your new little hobby you got going on? You took it upon yourself. New hobby. To do that.

I do have a new hobby. I'm obsessed with taking pictures. The pictures look great. They honestly do. I will say, as soon as you got the drone, you jumped on that. Yeah. Big time. Yeah.

Footage just does something for me. Does something to me. We love footage. Look, coming up here in about a month, we're going to have a huge match against Ryan Whitney and myself playing for $10,000 cash. I believe I'm getting three strokes. It's going to be crazy. He's got his own drink now. Barstall Sports, New Amsterdam vodka teamed up, officially create signature drink to Pink Whitney.

I like Pink Whitney. I think it's delicious. It's fantastic. That's very big of you. Look, if I like something, we're a very honest, raw company show. That's what we do. I like the Pink Whitney. I think it's delicious.

I love everything about the Pink Whitney. I like Ryan Whitney. I know that we're going to beat him in that match. I know I'm on your bag. It's a lot of mental games. But the one mental game we can't play is that he put out a good drink. Like we can't touch that. We can't touch the drink because the drink is fantastic.

I over Labor Day weekend put a full, I got a nice. I was at a party with a lot of red solo cups and everyone's drinking like beers. Yeah, you're playing tennis too. Played a lot of tennis. And I showed my skin. And a lot of people, you know, we're drinking just like like college drinks. drinks and I went into this person's house. It was on Airbnb.

I found their nice glassware. I put a full, I took a nice big glass. I dipped it inside the ice and it was filled to the top with ice. I poured three, maybe a half, maybe even three-fourths of Pink Whitney. And then I topped it off with some seltzer and I rum, I put it around in a circle. I spun the ice around. I give it about, I don't know, 35 seconds to let the ice really chill the drink. I took a sip of this drink, I started laughing out loud.

So good. It was like candy. It was like drinking lemonade. It is even, I've noticed you even just put a little water in it, basically, a little ice and water. Because it needs a little bit of something because everyone forget, like, it's just straight vodka. It's basically straight vodka with a little flavor to it. It's vodka. It's flavor vodka.

So, like, you're going to want to make this thing with a nice ice in it and a little topper. And you are going to feel good, especially during these upcoming, the fall. Can you imagine in the fall? Brought to you by New Amsterdam Vodka. It's the official drink of Barstville Sports, the Pink Whitney. Go get yourself some. It's delicious. New Amsterdam vodka, also delicious.

You're going to love it. So we, Liberty National, we're able to, I mean, you know, the video will come out. So I don't want to give it all the way. We had a skins game, myself, Trent Daddy and Frankie, and it was a lot of back and forth. Just playing the course, seeing how we shoot all of that. You know, people seem to enjoy that. So that video will come out probably right before the Barstville Classic Championship, which is October 15th.

So somewhere early October, I, think we'll shoot for we got our new guy Andrew everybody welcome Andrew hello Andrew oh wait were you telling us to do that or the listeners both okay because I imagine you think people are listening and just going I know I would like Andrew a lot I was with him all day I don't know if like I thought maybe we're going to clap or something I don't know if I'm giving us too much pull but I do think there's people in their car that are going hi Andrew welcome I genuinely believe that morning coffee you're kind of just like your brain dead of the time you might just give it a high Andrew there, just like sitting in your car.

Great guy. Phenomenal editor. It comes from a very skilled editing background. As you can see, he'll be working in tandem with Jake on all of our production, getting more videos out. We've got, I think we have over 10 videos backpile. Yeah, and the video is going to look so good. And they're going to be. We have one coming out.

We'll see. A video came out yesterday when you're listening to this. Nice, Frank. Which means today. Chambers Bay. Devon Taves. We're at Chambers Bay. We've had this footage since Memorial Day.

Mm-hmm. And, you know, with all the switching with the editors and all this stuff. And Jake has had so many videos to edit with like Riggs's verse and the Barsto Classic and stuff. This has just been sitting there. And like, we're just, I just wanted to see the footage of us playing Chambers Bay for so long. And Andrew knocked it out in, I don't know, 48 hours. Something like that. And it's all from iPhone footage.

And it looks absolutely outrageous. Frankie came over to me yesterday or last week on like, whatever it was, Wednesday or Thursday when Andrews sent the rough cut. and Frankie watched 30 seconds of it and he came over to me, deliriously laughing, goes, you gotta watch, you just have to watch a video. We won't believe it. You made everyone in our area stop and watch the footage.

Right, yeah, Trent, Hubbs, Tommy came over. We all just watched the first 30 seconds, and it's the way that he cut it to the music, and then I hadn't seen the footage in so long. I forgot what Chambers Bay looked like. And it looks like Mars. It doesn't look like a real, like, place on Earth. I forgot how many moments there were, too,

just hysterical moments, like the places we got ourselves into on that golf course. Well, luckily for video purposes and for people making fun of me, I hadn't played much golf going into that round. And I also was the most hungover person on the planet. So, like, that was a recipe for massive butter knife and fuckery. Oh, both. I mean, we, too, that was where the whole phrase, it's not a vacation, it's a golf trip.

Oh, dude, it was. We, that was like, we teed off at 640 or 6.50 in the morning. I wanted to cry. And we were out. I want to say to what, three or four in the morning. Four in the morning. We were sleeping in the Uber. With our caddies and our crew, that was like, so gold mount, it's got to be gold mountain.

That's where that was born the night before. Half an hour asleep. Oh, we slept no more than an hour, maybe two, got up, had a tea time. And then we were like, oh, we're going to film every shot at Chambers Bay, which is a U.S. open track. We just got our dicks kicked in. But the footage is off the chart. So iPhone footage.

Yeah, we filmed every shot with our iPhones. Me and Frankie just running around capturing shots of our iPhones. And at Liberty, we had all these like C-200, C-100 shit. so that's going to look real good. It's going to be crazy. Go to our YouTube page. Foreplay golf is what you search. Check it out.

The Chambers Bay footage is up there. The Liberty footage will be. Watch it on your smart TV. People don't understand how to do that. There's menus on your TV. Watch YouTube on your TV. It's like you're watching Netflix or anything. And you can watch all these 18-hole videos on your TV.

All I do is watch YouTube on my TV. It's incredible. It's so clear. And it just goes from one video to the next. It's seamless. It looks so good. It's so good. Every TV has it now.

If you don't, I don't know what to tell you. No, you're an idiot. You're not like, you're not playing golf and stuff. You're not like a human being, so it doesn't matter. You're a person. I mean, we're not going to call them out. If you don't have YouTube, if you don't have a YouTube. Think about a new TV is what you're saying.

Yeah. Smart TV's great. You were about to go over the line. I was going to. I was ready to stop. I'm starting to feel a little sick. You hear it in my voice? Yeah, you've been saying that all day and I run a car with you all day.

And yeah, I think you are getting. It's also one of those nights. We traveled. We went to Clemson. We did all this traveling. I rushed all the way back. I had my sister's engagement party. The whole thing.

It was like, thank you. There was this whole entire thing. And then, like, you go right into the work week. And last night, I didn't have enough water. And I woke up with my, my throat was all dry. Comes right out of the same. What did you do you say? You don't have enough water?

I don't drink sink water. What kind of? In New York City? I don't drink sink water. It's like the best tap water in the world. I don't know. The best tap water. It's not good enough for me.

What do you get your water? I get bottles. I get pollen spring. What do you serve at Borelli's? We serve water. Tap water? Yeah, filtered tap water. Oh, no, filtered water.

Do you drink that water? Yeah, because it comes out of like an incredible, like, like thing that they replace every single week, like this like blue hazel thing. It's all, it's like a whole machine around the water. You know, it's like, tap water in New York is the best tap water in the world. I know, but that's why they say the bagels and pizza. It's not the best water. You guys always have to, you guys always have to like say the best tap water.

Like there is a level. There's only a certain level I can get to. I don't like drinking tap water. I would argue that the tap water is better than a bottle of Desaani. Incorrect. It can't be. I would agree. I think that's probably.

I think there's a chance. You can almost taste like the difference. I think I'm right. In what way? I'm siding with lurching. In what way? In what way could the tap water coming out of the fucking sink be a better? Hey.

Hot shot. What, in what way is it better? Tell me. I mean, I'm not a water. Like, cleanliness? I'm just placing a bed here.

Miner. What do you think? I'm with Frankie on this one. All right. Side of the V. Your side are side. Dude, it's like, a Poland Spring bottle has to be more filtered than a fucking...

Why do you think Poland Springs is like fucking top shot? It's just like a dog shit average like water bottle. It is on the lesser end of bottled water. If you hit me with a Fiji, fine. Fiji, I would give you. Fiji is from the guys. Maybe that's New York bias because like I just feel like that's all we've had in New York is Poland Springs. Poland Springs, uh, national.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I used to, as a kid, I loved Aquafina for some reason. See, I thought that was poor. That was poor. Yeah, where that's from? I thought Aquafina, you'd get a rusty bottle of that anywhere in America.

You think that's poor? I thought Alpspina's poor. No way. No way. No way. No one's not. You're wrong. Well, I think the worst is.

Tasani's the world. The son is the one number one bat. Polispring added like that. Pauls spring is low, but DeSani's low. All right, listen, I think we can all agree Fiji is rich people water. Fiji is rich people water. Well, they also have that. The point on the backside

Oh, it's like pops? Yeah, it feels like I teleported to like Caribbean island. They're like, how about this? We're going to change the bottle completely. You're going to love it. Poland Springs to me feels like poor people water. No chance, buddy. Here's the other thing.

I couldn't agree more. You don't have the crystal water. It's like, or is it called crystal, but you get it at the airport and it's just like, it's like Icelandic crystal water. And like the whole bottle feels like you're holding like a piece of like a snow cone. Is it, is it called that or is it Voss or? No, it's like, I don't know what it's called. Oh, I know is that that's like higher than Fiji to me.

I'll say this. I'll say this. I think people who drink like Poland Springs like ride the bus to work. No way, dude. You're not, no, no, no. I'm serious. How about smart water? Yeah, that's what's good.

That's higher echelon because you see all the people who like go to cycling classes. So I think Poland's spring. Smart water. Yeah, I think Polon Spring is a fine. I'm not saying that's a poor person in water at all. Poland Spring is pretty like middle class. I think that's run-of-the-mill good water. But I think if we want to call Poland's middle class, I love that.

I just think it's everywhere. We're forgetting. Lower middle class. Lower middle class. I was at one of the fanciest weddings I've ever been at my life and my life. And my life. And they were serving Poland Spring. It was the fanciest wedding I could ever dream up.

And they served Poland Spring. They're probably saving money. No, they were not saving money. Nestle, pure life, water. Yeah, that's bottom of the echelon. I mean, you might as well be drinking chocolate milk. Yeah, exactly. I agree with that.

That's crap. What are you looking at it? Donon. I mean, come on, guys. Now you're fishing. You're fishing. How about Evian? Evian's pretty high.

That's legit. Yeah. Ozarka. God. Fiji's the best. Wahaha. Fiji's also like $7. Yeah.

All I know is that I ran out of water last night. I have to get it. It just feels like my whole body's pure. You know what I'm saying? Never come into a situation where you've run out of water? No. No, because it comes out of my sink. Wow.

We, right, I legit. We, I just took three ice cubes in a glass and I fill it up with tap water probably 10 times a night when I get home. Wow. And it's only tap. We just do tap. Wow. We're tap people.

You're horrible for the environment. We're tap people. Listen, these water, I always, I love the environment. I love the earth, but those water bottles are going to be made regardless of I buy it or not. I will say, until the whole world makes a change, then I'll jump on. Somebody's got to stand up and not going to be me. I ain't going to be the one. What water do we have?

You're a principal guy. I'm not going to be the one that changes the water bottles. I thought it was a principal thing. I thought you're a principal person. Yeah, so I'm not going to drink the tap water. What do we have? Your dad sent us,

what's that? Oh, I don't know what that stuff is. That literally just might say water on this. So my dad's a very, you know, he really wants to make sure that we're safe. And he,

you know, he goes through these phases where he thinks like, you know, maybe it'll be, if there's an attack or this or that, he really wants us to be prepared. So he has sent me over the years. Sometimes he'll send me,

like I'll get a random box open up. They'll be like two gas masks in there in case like. What? And then one time one of the things was he's like, hey, if anything happens, you know, the most important thing you got to have is water. So I sit a little water in the apartment. I feel like I was the first. I'm telling you, you couldn't get into the apartment.

There were eight cases of water stacked in front of our apartment door. It just like it's just either like H2O or just water on the side. And so I was the, it was when we were living in our old apartment on the 24th floor, I was like the first guy back. I was like, hey, do we have any mail on the front desk? And I'm like, oh, yeah, you pick up a box? Like, you got a forklet? No joke.

No joke. There's 35 cases of water. And with like 18 or 24 waters, just an amazing amount. So, God bless him me. He says it. We use it. So we've got still, when we move apartments, we've got these huge cases of water that ever cracked open?

Oh, yeah. So we're probably down to five or four of them at this point. And then another one who I've got a, five or four. In the back closet, there's still. Yeah, so we've got a bunch. I mean, if you ever need water, come on down. You come to our spot. I'm sick because I didn't have any water last night.

So, and then another one, he sent me a big, a huge box of do not open box of, like, preserve food that'll, like, last forever. So if we ever have to hunker down, we got water, we got food. The problem is they sending this to, like, New York City apartment, not like a bunker. So if anything does happen, like, you're gone. So then we thought about it. We're like, where do we go in, like, the. We have a plan.

Yeah. You got to stay away from the windows. The radiation. You got to stay away from that for about 24. 48 hours. You got stay away from the windows so you can hunker down. We've got certain spots. Hunker down, like in a bathroom maybe where there's no windows.

Or like a little basement, little closet area that we've found. That's where Ricks's hockey bag was. That's right. You guys have figured this out already? I just have a, you got to buy it. I mean, when your roommate's dad sends you literally prepare to die items. It makes you Google. You go right to Google.

Watching some shitty thing on Sling TV. Sling TV cuts out. Oh, Sling TV sucks, by the way. Before you know it, you're on a half hour tangent about, hey, if shit hits the fans, where do we go? I know about the radius. I know I got a radius. If you're like within like a half mile of,

that's basically you're done. But if you're like a mile to a mile and a half or two out, you've got a chance. You just have to make sure for the first 24 to 48 hours. You stay as far away from radiation as possible. Holy moly. Which radiation will come in through the windows. So like if you can go into a staircase or an like or not like a staircase shaft

if you live in a big building, like hunker in there. But then it gets dangerous because like after 10 or 20 hours, you might have people like, might be like every man for himself situation. So you kind of don't want to go into too public of a place because it might get crazy. We've thought about it. We've thought about it. So literally, clearly you've thought about it.

Again, when people, when my father, God bless his heart, sends you, you know, survival stuff. Great guy. You come up with a plan to survive. And his dad is a straight survival guy. He's fine out there in Colorado, Missouri, wherever they're at. No matter where his dad was, he would survive. He would survive. Yeah.

Yes. No, he'll survive. His dad would survive anyway. It's a matter of us, two idiots can figure it out. We can't survive anything. No, you can't even survive water when there's perfectly, water come out of the tap. You go to look for a frying pan in our apartment?

You'll find 10 cases of water before you find a frying pan. We have one frying pan and nothing else to cook with. No, like, spatula, no nothing. I bought three frying pans last night. Unreal. Yep. What should we cook? I cooked chicken last night.

Sick. Yeah. Pan roasted. Took me like an hour. It took forever, man. You're saying it took an hour to cook chicken? It's like people aren't going to believe they're like, oh, you must be doing something along with the laundry. You don't get it.

You guys just take forever to do something. Stove was on high. It was just wouldn't fucking cook. It was pretty good though. It was a little dry. I'm sure after an hour. It tastes like a hockey puck. Probably keep it moving here.

Golf is a verb. I want to say that we really upheld. This tries me fucking nuts by the way. We really upheld. Bring it up again. We really upheld the, you know, kind of our secret sauce because the whole issue is that people, it's actually supposed to be, we, we, People get rattled when people use it as a verb. And we said use it as a noun.

So we predicated the whole situation, the whole conversation on saying it wrong. Secret sauce. But we were arguing. Our argument was totally, we were right. We just used the wrong. Okay. But here's the final punch. Did you get all the tweets about like, all right now, like are they called golfers?

What do you say to that? Instead of golf players? Yes. Good question. I don't know where that one falls. It is a good question. That falls anywhere in like the correct. Besides golfers, it's wrong in my mind.

And then once you answer that, you can play, like, you're golfing. Also, like, someone who I talked to quite frequently went through and searched their text and were like, you say golfing, I was, I golfed all the time. Just 45 screenshots. She's like a million. I'm going to expose you. I was like, I know that I say that. I just know that it's wrong.

The open championship says champion golfer of the year. So if it's not correct, then we need to like rearrange all of the world. The champion golf player of the year. That's not what they say. Correct. You're right. Yeah. Essentially we, yeah.

I mean, we were right that if you care about that, it's dumb. No, no, no, no. I don't want to say that. I want to say that it's correct to say golfing. It's correct. You want to go that far. Yes. It is correct.

Someone said like, I'll stand up. I'll die on that hill with you. Like, there's a way that you can change like verbs and nouns. Is golfers still a noun? Like Googling wasn't a noun or it wasn't a verb now it is. Correct. You just accept it. Isn't golfer still a noun?

Yeah, but what he's saying is. is like hockey or wouldn't be a down, right? You'd be a hockey player. You'd be a football player. Football player, hockey player, baseball player. Golf player. No, you're a golfer. If someone said, I'm a golf player, I'd be like, well, you can't break a thousand.

Right. Like, legit, a thousand is in question. Have fun at putt putt, putt. Like, you're a golf player? You're a golf player. Pirates cove mini golf. That's what Smitty would say. I'm a golf player.

For sure. You're a pervert is what you are. What a jump. That's a heavy accusation. Right. On Smitty, too. I hope he hears that of all people. Spinny's going to come storming in here.

What the fuck? Honor, integrity. What are you doing? Yeah, so, I mean, all that stuff's correct. Yeah, I think that's the hill we should die. Yeah. Just saying golfing. I golfed.

That should just be correct. It's all things you do while playing out. Communication is all about understanding. Yeah. If as long as you get it, who cares? Did you read that under like a Snapple cap or something? No, that's just, that comes out of my, my vocab. Do you file like an inspirational quotes Instagram account?

No. But it just helps me because I mispronounce and can't text. Sometimes I'll see, uh... Yeah, but you don't. You just generally on text don't communicate well. So then, therefore, people don't understand it. But I think you do understand. No, sometimes I just don't.

I like a good motivational quote. I'll come across one and be like, you got any of you want to share that for later. I don't know. I feel like I screenshot it. some at some point, but I don't know how recently that I could find it on my phone. I'd like to know the exact point in time that you wanted to screenshot those

because something wasn't going perfect. Well, that's, you know, you'll never just come across a motivational quote. Oh, definitely. For sure. That's a good one. I'm sure. I'm sure. The way you're cracking your knuckles, though, and talking about it makes me feel that maybe there's something on the hood. No, things are great. Okay. Things are great. I'm just saying I like a good motivational quote.

God, this golfing stuff drives me nuts, man. There's a golf digest thing that says only real golfers. use the noun form of the word, which typically follows the verb play, played or playing. While swimmers may go swimming and cyclists may go cycling, golfers just don't go golfing. Shut the fuck up, Golf Digest. I'm going to start calling you Golfing Got Digest. You should be in a padded room. You should tweet of them, hey, golfing Digest.

See how they take that. Golfing Digest. Those serious about the sport do not use the verb term form. Oh, my God. I could just picture some like old-ass crust. man with like huge ass eyebrows sitting down like writing this down and giving it to like his fucking like his like assistant like go publish this these the people in the media center who just stare at us but they're wrong daggers all the time not only do they make me man they're

they're they're actually wrong and i want them to know that like no no like like i don't just disagree with you giant t-shirts that just like golfing golfing go like not do i not i don't just disagree with you. I want you to know if you're going to sell. I'm not kidding. We will in the next week or two. We will be selling a t-shirt that just says golfing on it. Golfing. It's so good. Yeah. Golfing. Golfing period.

That's just what it's going to say. We miss the boat with the golf podcast. We're going to make golfing. It's it. Golfing. That's going to drive people bananas. Oh, they're going to lose their shit. We're going to wear it all over that media center. We'll be all over that fucking media center. U.S. Open. Four of us just golfing. You think what's his name? That that, that, that, that,

The guy who has the darkness inside of him. Amen. Oh, yeah. Amon Lynch. You think he says golfing? No chance. I think he will, he might come up to us with a legitimate dagger and stab us. If we start saying golfing.

If we start saying and wearing golfing t-shirts, which we will. Or just a big hat. I want like a rope hat that just says golfing on the top of it. Yeah. Golfing. That's great. I like that. It's a good one.

We're going to make money off these idiots. Think about all those like dad things that they hang in their man cave, like went golfing. You ever see those? Yeah, well, it's usually like gone fishing, but this would be... Like gone golfing. It should just say golfing. I don't even know if you need gone. We could put that out.

If it will rattle people more, that carrot will do it. That needs to be like gone golfing. Yeah, that needs to be like a little sign that you can put on a man cave. Golfing. Imagine golf digest, like, responds with one that says, like, gone playing golf. The way they write it to, like, real people who are serious about the sport? Are you fucking kidding? Like, you're incapable of.

being serious and liking golf unless you know how to use the verb. Credit to me. There was a time when during that rant that I wanted to drop a C word just in rage and a fit of rage because I'm trying to bring it back. Nice job, Frank.

It's a good word. You say it a couple times in the course today. Today I drilled a drive just way right and I just felt so good over the ball and it just felt so good to just let it out. Something about it. It was also clear in my throat. I like it feels like something's happening.

Yeah. When somebody says that word, it's like, oh shit. Trank out of the cart and like, started slowly walking in me like like like when somebody says that word because it's not taboo but it's like taboo to enough people you're not saying it to a person no no if you don't say it to a person or about a person then it's like it's an inanimate object and it's just like it's when somebody says it there's something in the air it's almost it's almost equivalent to like a horrifying scream yeah

where it it's like you perk up like something something's happening yes something is of notice because you know the f word and all these other words they're kind of played out man Like sometimes you really just want to drop it. I will say a good F-bomb with nothing before or after. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's good. Fuck off. Oh, fuck off.

Oh, I'm so deep in succession right now. How deep could you be? I caught up in like two days. Well, yeah, I'm just caught up. Yeah. You're just on your mind. I'm one episode behind. It feels good to be back into a show because the last one was...

Thrones? Thrones and that stunk. Worst show of all time. What a terrible. Worst season of all time. Yeah. Most disappointing season in the history. Really bad.

If you're like us, the foreplay crew, you're probably trying to get in as much golf this time of year as possible. Fall golf. It's, you know, the leaves are turning. They're changing colors.

Robociller.com slash foreplay. I put this on the outline. We'll just get to it now. On our golf, on our golfing podcast outline, I put on Rafael Nadal wins the U.S. Open tennis. What a match. This was, I didn't watch a second of football until this match was over yesterday. Couldn't. Rafael Nadal wins his 19th major.

He beat Daniel. Is that how you say the guy's name? Yeah. He's the Russian dude. Medvedev? Yep. Medvedev. Guy giving the finger to everybody in the beginning of the tournament.

Oh, he was, this guy's awesome. Young kid. Medvedev. He's got his box. He had his, like, Hot chick there going crazy. Then you got Nadal. He's obviously the fan favorite.

They're literally chanting like Nadal throughout the match. Arthur Ash is chanting his name. It's a one-on-one match. There's chanting one of the games. How does that chant go? Like, what's the Caden? Was it Rafa? Oh, okay.

That makes more thought. Rafa. And they do it like, you know, typical tennis. Nidal. Not all. Not all. Nadeau. Rafael Nadal.

No, because they do. I could see him chanting in that way because I love, I'm obsessed. I can't get the side of my head whenever he's. win they'd be like game not out yeah game not all might even admit they do it like saw i'm not sure let's go rafa that work no it was rafa it was rafa it was rafa it was raffa it was the thing that he didn't want anyone to chant for him he's a little baby back bitch when it comes to that stuff what he literally refused to play the game of tennis while the crowd was cheering he kept backing off yeah his pace of play is bad dude he's like he's got a little bright he would literally look around

i don't think it should be if the server is ready the returner should have to be ready he kept backing off he kept like holding the hand up i don't like that you know not I think the server should set the pace. And I will say Federer plays crazy quickly. And, like, if he's in rhythm, he'll just keep pumping serves at the guy. And I will say that's, you know, a little bit of experience gets to play in there that Raff is able to do that. Yeah. And then if Fed loses a point or two, he'll slow it down.

Then I'll win a point and then it'll just rip like three bombs that you and be out of there. And the game's over. Yeah, that kid Medvedev was sick. I mean, I watched like that whole thing. I was in an Uber on my way back to the city. and I mean I just couldn't I just watched it on the app but I couldn't like the Uber driver's trying to talk to me At one point I just said I have something really important going on back here

Really important Well I will say that guy Medvedev pissed a bunch of people Well didn't piss people off but like got on people Bad side because he literally was giving everybody the finger Look at the beginning of the tournament And then so I think they just wanted somebody to beat him And Rofa was able to do Probably just because of our our history Americans against Russians

I just typically don't like Russians But this guy I love everything about that The fact that he was like flicking off the crowd and people were hating him and then everyone's rooting for rafa and he's like the enemy and the bad boy i was all in on that fucker guy yeah now andrews telling me vamos raffa was that the chant so that's what they're okay i knew it was something different i just couldn't remember because they say it they chanted like softly yeah you know what i mean it's not like this ruck like rowdy football type chant it's like a classier like oh we're tennising

watching one of those watching five plays plays plays plays plays please please take your seats plays. One of the, watching that match yesterday just made me like, I expect them, like, one of these days, like, while they're running back and forth, they just have, like, their knees, like, just, like, explode. Or, like, their legs just snap in half.

You're running on a hard surface. Like, one of the only sports that does that, right? Like, usually, well, I guess basketball, but usually, like, you're on grass or whatever. That's, like, the running sport. They're doing it. They were out there for five hours. I would even think, wouldn't, like, a track be softer and, like, better on your knees?

Yeah, for sure. Soft, like, rubber thing. It's a little softer. Like, it's just, it's like concrete and, like, they're running back and forth for five hours. And it's just like, I don't know. It's just crazy to me. It's, it's, it's, their endurance is outrageous. It is insane.

It is insanely encapsulating to watch, like, two tennis players playing for a, a grand slam title who are so evenly matched that every point it felt like dragged out like 15 shots back and forth. Yeah. Where it was like, it was almost never. it felt like a serve valley slam point over. Like it felt like that just, especially during the last couple sets because they get more tired and all that and they start to feel each other out and they've got a really good grip on each other and all that. It just every time they served, it was like, all right,

he's going to hit a good return. He's going to then hit a missile. Then he's going to hit another missile back and they're going to do that like 15 times. And the balls on these guys on the second serves, like Medvedev had like that. He had a bomb second serve late on the match. Championship point, just like nuts on the ground. I'm going to fucking put this thing in the corner. Yeah, in the corner.

Yeah, it was insane. I will say, oh, those big points, too, sometimes they go for a little less, so they're not, like, right on the corner or something like that. And then, but they're just ripping missiles back, and then, like, somebody goes for something and lands in, then you hear the crowd go, like, oh. Yes.

And then it starts to build, and that's on, like, hit 10. And then there's, like, 23 hits before the points over, and by the end, people are just erupted. Dude, I stand in my living room. Whenever the crowd starts going nuts in the middle of a point, I have to stand. I'm like, oh, oh! And then you, whenever the point,

It ends in like the announcer. One of the announcers goes like, oh, you know it's like crazy. Because I don't know that much about tennis. I'm like, well, if McEnroe is losing his mind, I'm fucking going crazy over here. It was awesome. Yeah, it was great. Nadal ended up pulling it out. He's got 19, I believe, majors now, slams.

Fed has 20. He's got the most of all time. So anyways, if you missed, go watch the highlights. It was off the charts. I actually put that ahead of on our outline. The Greenbrier kicks off this week, PGA tour. Don't care. I don't know.

I couldn't really care less. Does anybody care? No. Fisher's Island. I got out there. Seth Rainer track. I just looked it up right before the show. It's ranked 10th in Golf Digest, top 100 courses in America.

It's ranked 10th. This was on my top five bucket list, the nature of our job. We've been unbelievably lucky. We get to play a lot of really cool places because we started this little golf podcast. It blew up. You guys listened to it. Boom. We get to go play really cool courses.

I went out there at my boy, Lynx, Jims. His dad, who's a great guy, and our other buddy, Ryan, went out to Fisher's. Maybe my new favorite course. It's just, it's on the water you can see. So the big stat about Fishers is you can see the water from every single hole. It was about a two and a half hour drive for me. Then like a 40-minute ferry. So you kind of do the whole thing.

You know you're going to somewhere special when you have to ferry out there. Get out to Fisher's. It's got maybe three holes that are kind of forgettable. And then the rest are just off the charge. It's got a bunch of the templates. It's got like a Redan. It's got a short hole. It's got a punch bowl.

So a lot of the kind of the template holes that you know and that you've seen and heard of all over the place, it's got all those except they're just fucking on the water. So it was spectacular. It's a course that they have no fairway irrigation, none. So like if it's just like if it's just a dry summer with like very minimal rain and all that, the course will just be brown in the middle of the same. Yeah, I was going to ask you about that. So that doesn't come into account when you're saying it's like your favorite course to play. I saw some of the pictures and all these like water courses I feel like have that same like texture or like when you're looking at a picture of a course that's really really really

really on the water it's like got that sandy look to it like even on the fairway and like buy the cart pass or whatever and like to me like I don't know why I think for me like I just love like the pure green no matter where it is I would take that over that landscape yeah and there's definitely different mindsets right like it's a lot more old school and like lynxie and almost like It's like rugged. It's like rugged to me. It's like British to kind of like keep a course not, right? It's become very American to like make it as green as possible and lush and like every shot that you have is going to be like a perfect lie.

If you're in the fair way, it's going to be a perfect lie sitting up on like perfectly manicured grass. That's watered a certain amount of times a day and then cut and all this and that. I think at Liberty they were literally painting the grass green. Right. Because my ball went through it and my ball was just green. And it's, that's very different to somewhere. Like fishers, which legit fishers, like, they do no irrigation on the fairways. They don't have it.

So depending on when you go play, like, it was actually relatively green in a lot of places for us because they've had a good amount of rain. But you can go there certain years, certain times a year where it's just, I love that kind of stuff. Bannon's a very similar kind of way. Like all the courses in Scotland all that are very similar in that regard. So I love it, but it's not for everyone. You do get people who go over there like, yeah, that's not my kind of golf. Like I get that the course is really cool. I rank it really high, but it loses some points because it's not like perfectly manicured and all that.

And I get that. if that's your preference, fine. But I, it was just, it was spectacular. We had perfect weather, great logo. So I spent about four or five hundred bucks in the pro shop, which is always nice. The biggest takeaway was that my boy, Link's Jim's, you know, I'm taking all these picks, right? I'm on portrait mode of my phone. I'm like, I'm doing great.

Well, then after the fucking round, you know, he sends me a handful of photos that he took. And I was like, well, I'm an asshole. Like, I suck. And so I was all rattled. So I went and bought a new camera that we used today at Liberty. and you know I probably spent $1,200 bucks in this camera things fucking sick

it's a Sony RX 100 version 6 I guess there's like a 4-5 and 6 that he's been telling me to get for like a year small little guy fits in your pocket he's like you can you can play around a golf and like whip it out of your pocket it's not a big production it's very simple so I was like fine done well on the camera when you take it in real time

like you can't it just looks like you just hits that looks like a fucking same thing that if you if you bought a disposable camera at like CBS when you look on the actual like yeah camera, right? Because it's a small little display. You can't tell. You don't know if it's a good. It just looks like, like, whatever. Well, then I uploaded into my fucking computer after the

round. I was like, oh my God, I just started sending you guys a million pictures in the row. Because they come out so good. So I have a new toy, which is this Sony camera that I am obsessed with. The pictures of me. No, I see that. I'm just trying to picture. Does it come out as a digital display, too, once you take the photo or no? Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I'm saying like on the little digital display, I mean, it, don't worry. When you look at it, you'll be like, oh, that's a pretty sick camera, but it's not huge. And again, when you take them in real time, you can't tell what they look like outside of, like, okay, I think I framed it right, but like you can't tell how sick it looks.

They come out. We get so spoiled with the iPhones that we don't think, like, to me, sometimes I'm like, I can't get much better than like this photo right here, right? And then you look at the difference between, like, when we take photos today at Liberty National and when Riggs uploaded the photos from the camera, like, just the definition in the city skyline, we were saying it makes a sky and look like it's right behind the hole as opposed to like it's one of the best photos I've ever seen right it's crazy I'm probably gonna Instagram it and that was out of you have to you have to you don't

Instagram that's a insult my ass looking that thing is flat flat I mean you don't have much but like I don't think it's never I don't think it's an ass popping a position though you know no I don't I agree because you're no you should be firing through all of your your ass and your hips should be moving the other direction I You would need to be, like, arching your back to have your ass, which you're not going to do that. But if you got a good ass, I think it's tough to take a bad picture of it. Like, you just don't, you have nothing to work with it. Frankie's never been known as having a lot of nice ass.

Right. So, no, your ass doesn't look good. It looks flat as shit. It's great picture, though. Everything else is good. Great outfit. But anyways. Where's the ball go there?

Right down the middle. Yeah, that was a good one. That was a really good one. Left side of the fairway. And then I also bought a new drone. What? You did? Yeah, I haven't opened it yet.

Oh. I bought it yesterday. I spent a lot of money, Best Buy. I bought the MAVIC 2. Wow. DJI. I have the DJI Spark with Lurchin I both have, which is a little guy only like 400 bucks.

It fits in your bag. Really tiny guy. I fly away better. Ask Jake. No way. And then he's fucking Link's Chems has this one that it was in the sky. It felt like the whole day. And he sent me the pictures that he took after,

even like he was going through his iPad on the ferry back and just scrolling through all the photos. And even before he edited him, I was like, oh my God. That footage is outrageous Things way faster, all this, that And I was like, we're getting to the point now We're going to film so many courses

It's becoming so much more of a full-time gig for us That like, I love the DJI Spark I'm still going to rock that thing I keep it in my bag, people don't even notice it's in there It's so small Whereas a Mavik thing is a little bit more of an operation And this thing is fucking sick So we're flying that thing all over Cabot this week

Can't wait So I've got two new toys in the- Wow Unbelievable. So the battery's always been the thing That's bothered me about the spark The battery on the Mavik Pro is unbelievable 31 minutes What?

That's what it says. That's a game changer. The spark is like 15 maybe, really dealing with 12 and a half. And if it's windy, like six minutes. You can swap out the batteries. Yeah. So I have, then he, link shims like, get the Mavik 2. And then he's like also get this, you know, this Mavik 2 like, you know,

souped up pack, which I ordered for like 300 bucks on Amazon. It comes with two more batteries, a couple filters, like a carry bag and all that. So I'm going to have all that. I'm going to be ready to go at Cabot. this fucking thing that's awesome it's like a helicopter it's like I own a helicopter I know what they look like I've thought about making the jump to that thing never have but that's I have an even bigger one I have the phantom

oh yeah that's and it's I mean I put it up to space once by accident like oh you told us that dude like my girlfriend I went to this fucking lake and like I just like started flying it over the lake and I'm like let's see how this fucking thing goes I charge her for like two days before it and I turned off any like sort of like warnings so playing and I just dude I just shot this thing straight up into the air. And I'm not kidding. FAA's going to call you.

Be like, we got an issue. At some point, like I just lost control of it. And it just like stayed up there. And I looked at, I looked at it. I'm like,

well, that's, that was fun. I was like, how do I get this fucking thing back? Dude, no joke. It was like,

it was thousands of feet in the air. Thousands. So that's why. I'm not even over. Thousands? Thousands? The biggest thing. We looked it up

the last time we argued and I said it goes up to 10,000 feet. What? That's like an airplane. That's like, legit air but that's like you have to get to levels where like your phone will like arrest you yeah i'm not kidding on you i think i got like 1500 feet or something that's crazy yeah because the spark usually maxed out of like 400 yeah oh it was just it disappeared that's amazing i got it back though it's still in my room that's amazing i haven't turned that thing on in a year well what happened was lynx jims

had you know he's showing me one in one of his pictures it looked like he took it from outer fucking space it like showed the whole island of fisher's island and i was like i was like my fucking Spark, I can barely take, I can take a picture of half of a hole. That's like how high I can go. Yeah. And he literally, it was like, it was legit. Can you fit in your golf bag or no? No, but you can have a really, you can have a pretty manageable little carry case that it fits into with the extra batteries and with extra propellers.

So like that, but I'm saying if you're like walking a golf course with the caddy, how are you going to bring it with you? So that combined with like my new camera, I'll have to put in a little cool little bag and I'll have to carry that with me, which is what Link's gems does. Gotcha. So he just after every shot, he carries it. little bag, almost like when you're carrying a bag of beers or something. Okay. You know what I mean? So it's a little bit of, it's like a little purse.

It's kind of hard to follow, but a little bit of a shout-out. Walker Cup, know some guys on the team. Awesome guys. Awesome win for the USA. Obviously, anytime we beat Europe, they can suck it. So, nice win by the U.S. Nice. The wind, I laughed out loud when I saw the wind on one of the videos.

The guy was hitting the wedge. Oh, it came right back to it. Unbelievable. It was great. Unreal. Matthew Fitzpatrick's brother was in it. Yep. Shout out to that guy, that little guy I can beat up.

I thought you were to say something worse there. That little, and then you have paused. A little guy I can beat up. We have two English professional golfers are our guy and our girl now. Yeah. Bronte Law, Matthew Fitzpatrick. They're like our Euros. A lot of people like the Bronte Law interview.

She was great. She was awesome. It was so conversational that I almost forget a lot of the highlights. Like people liked it more than they thought because I don't remember being that or being like these incredibly profound questions and answers. I remember just shooting the shit with her for half hour. 40 minutes, which is probably why people loved it so much. Yeah, she was great. One of the best interviews I think we've done. Solheim Cup this

week, Glenn Eagles. We have the captain of the United States team, Julie Inkster. She joined us for about a half hour. We're going to put that in Thursday's show because I believe the competition is Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So we're going to throw that into the show on Thursday.

Enjoy that, Solheim Cup. Our girl Kanger, Danielle Kang. We've had her on the show probably three or four times now at this point. She's awesome. Obviously, Bronte Law, she'll be on the other side. She's awesome. Julie Inxter, who we have on on Thursday. She's awesome. So there's a lot of really, really great characters in the women's game. It's the Solheim Cup is the women's version of the Ryder Cup. So there's all kinds crazy atmosphere. The first T I saw is massive. So it's going to have a Ryder Cup type feel,

vibe, all that, watch that, pay attention. Paul Casey. There's an incident with Paul Casey over in the European tour. He won for the first time of five years in the European tour this past weekend. the bug rule. So this... Yeah, what the hell is this? This video from the European tour started to get a lot of play. And apparently, so Paul Casey hits this putt. It hits a little bit of...

It hits a bug and like barely kicks a little left. Still catches part of the hole goes in. But then they're talking about it afterwards or they had to talk to Paul Casey and like review it. If you, I think, knowingly hit a stroke that like hits a bug, you have to replay the shot. That's outrageous. knowingly feels like some gray area totally but in golf in theory everything is like knowingly right it's like intention right like if you like when zach johnson the needle hit that one off the 13th tee at the masters where he like it looked like he topped to him and he was in a practice swing and hit it straight right hit off the thing yep like he could he could have been like actually trying to hit that but say like no no my intention wasn't to hit it right so it's always there's always a gray area in every shot in golf yeah no you're right about that knowingly is a strange like

Like, if they had gone up to Paul Casey afterwards and been like, hey, did you know you were going to hit this bug? He'd be like, yeah, I wanted to kill that thing. I wanted that thing dead. I was sick of seeing it out there and I wanted it dead. You got to think that there was, I got to replay that shot. You got to think that there was one situation back in when the game of golf was like invented since then at least that someone used a bug to their advantage. And that's why this rule was invented. Has to be right?

Like one time. They're like, all right, we need a rule for that because that's. I don't play off that massive Beatles back. Right. like, yeah, I'm on this crazy. Yeah, what is, I would love to know the origin story of that rule. The rules of golf stipulate I'm reading from golf.com, not golfing digest. The rules of golf stipulate that if a ball in motion hits a person, animal, or object on the putting green, the stroke must be replayed.

A bug in this instance, in this instance, is considered an animal. Casey did not replay the shot and he wasn't notified of the potential breach until he was in the scoring area. And official showed him a video of what transpired. The good news, because Casey didn't knowingly hit the bug on his butt, the replay rule did. didn't apply and he was in the clear. So what it must have been is somebody must have been like, banked one off like their playing partner who wasn't paying attention or something. Like, right?

You have an impossible shot. You just chip one right at your buddy. It hits them and falls right on the green and rolls towards a hole or something. So that that or like a deer or a goat or something. So it applies for all. This applies for all swings or just putts. I think it said on the green. On the putting green.

Okay. Yeah. So somebody must have putted one, right? Like maybe if there's a goat. Because I actually like what you said. Like if I'm in like a bunker or something And I see you guys standing behind the pin I want to just drill one right off lurch

It'll just sit nice and soft Right Imagine how soft Now is that illegal Because I was in the bunker Yeah That's illegal No it would probably be legal

Right That might even be a stroke play On penalty on lurch Yeah I would beat the shit out of you I'd like to see you try I'd be so far in the next hole I'd be running away

Oh I'm pretty quick I'm nimble He's quicker than you No way We've talked about this Yeah I would run backwards Fast and you run forward

That's incorrect We'll do it. It's an interesting rule. It is an interesting rule. Matt Coacher, back in the headlines for bad reasons. So he's, they tell him he's in like a waste bunker, so he's allowed to remove loose impediments from his ball, which, fine. It's supposed to be taken the spirit of the rule.

Like if you have like a fucking stone or something around your ball, you can remove it. Similar to like what Rory was doing when it was at Liberty National, where we played this morning. Speaking of waste bunkers real quick, the video at Chambers Bay when I watch it. Like I forgot or didn't know that you can just like take practice swings

or like you can ground your club and a waste box and I just fucking, I'm just swinging the shit out of this thing. I felt great. But yeah, go on. He takes like two or three and he goes, oh yeah, look how good that feels.

Then he just does nothing for me. Then he just for the next one over the day. Yeah. It's a great moment. Go watch the video. But anyways, Matt Coocher, you know, they're like, yeah, yeah, you're in a waste bunker.

so technically you're fine. You can remove loose impediments. Cool. It might be a stone within an inch or two of your ball. You remove it so it's not distracting. It doesn't affect it. Fine. Well, he goes around, basically,

and essentially removes every grain of sand that's around his ball. So that essentially, by the end of it, it was like on a tee. Now, everyone's roasting him. This guy just doesn't understand common sense when it comes to, like, the spirit of the game, how to treat people, how to treat the golf course, the competition. your lie and all that why can't Matt Cooter figure it the fuck out I mean have you seen this video

I'm watching it right now something's going through his brain where he just doesn't realize people are going to look at this he's thinking people are going to watch this and be like this isn't against the rules so they're going to be totally cool with it this would be I give you're in the rough and you just picked all of the grass in like a six inch circle around your ball so that then your ball was just like the only thing left he's just teed up at one point he started just like very very slightly

removing sand and then he realized that no one was stopping him, he started grabbing everything he could. He goes crazy. It's like he's robbing a bank. He's taking everything in sight. It's like he's waiting for someone to say something. It's like, no, you need to know. Look at it. He's, he's building a moat around his golf ball. I can't believe how many times

he picks at the sand. It must be 25. And there's nothing there. He's just building a moat. That's like what he's doing. He's building a small little moat around his golf ball so that it's sitting on its own little island and then he's going to hit it. It's crazy town. So Coocher needs to figure it the fuck out.

He is not earning any fans this year and anything that he's doing. So Coocher figured out. Who would have thought that Matt Coocher is going to be the guy who's going to lose a ton of fans because he doesn't do things the right way? Totally. All right. We all want to improve our games. We all want to play better golf. We talk about it all time.

We have this round up, down. Can't figure it out. No, consistency. What is that word? Consistency. There you go. Consistency. I'm trying to say consistency.

Consistency. Consistently. Consistency. consistency consistency consistency you just can't do it's not consistent I can say consistently consistently consistently one of the biggest reasons people don't play well as they could is because they're using the wrong clubs

we just talked about it a couple weeks ago putters we didn't like our putters you need someone to help you out okay curated that's what you need curated is an incredible idea to the point where I I now don't think I'll ever buy anything gear-wise or

I mean not like clubs-wise without using curated. I think that I need to speak to someone. Never. Because all you do is you sign up for this thing and they don't even have to text you. It goes on the app or it goes on the web, on the web site, the website.com on the internet.

Dad? Essentially. Grandpa? So then it just goes up there on the web? It goes up there in the webosphere on the type in those letters. You have the W-WW. And I'm just surfing the web? now? Yep, that's all you got to do. You got to go on curated.com. And what they're going to do is

you say, I want this club, I hit the ball this way, this is how long I like my clubs, this is the way I shape the drives, this is what I want to do. And they're like, hey, we have five options for you. This is like the cheapest one. This is the most expensive one. This is the one I think you should do. This is the shaft you should put on. So you don't have to go to the store. That's what you do at like a PGA store or something. You get a pro to talk to you. This is like, I can lay in bed and talk to a PGA, like, expert. Frankie had a guy tell him, hey, there's the see putter help keep your club face flatter to the ground. He had a legitimate guy, a very real person, texting him. I still have not used the putter yet. You gotta give that. There's a lot of

things that have been happening with this putter. I was supposed to bring it out to Nisacuag in St. George's on my Labor Day weekend. I packed in this huge car with all our stuff. The putter was separate because it came in a box. It came within two days, by the way, after I, after I purchased it. Two days. It was just at my apartment after two days. And I put the box, I took the putter out separately, put it in. And then when I took it about the clubs out, all the luggage, the putter's still in that person's car. And I haven't seen them because we live in the city. So I need that putter back.

World Long Drive Championships for this past week. The only reason I really wanted to shout him out. Trent Daddy and I went a couple years ago. This is like the first real thing that we covered golf wise together. Yeah. We went to the World Long Drive. This was before the podcast. It's like two or three months before the podcast.

We were in Thackerville, Oklahoma. That feels like a million years ago. Kind of was, about two years ago. Thackerville, Oklahoma, home of the largest casino? That's what they claimed. Largest casino, I will say it was sprawling. We walked around there, but it was just slot machines, the whole, like, for. It was all slot machines.

You walked like 30 football fields, and it was just slot machines everywhere. Yep. But we went a couple years ago, a couple great moments for that video, if you want to go back and watch that. One is where the British guy had that went in the whole thing. So we had this funny a little bit where we held up. We just Googled the British flag, and then we just turned it sideways and held it up on our phone next to him to add a little pageantry to the interview after. And Trent's phone

just turned off. Back when it was like I had like 15 seconds, they're like if you're not going to touch this thing, I'm just going to turn off. I just did that. So I'm just standing there with a point. The last minute and a half of the video, Trent's just standing there holding on display. It's a great because yours looks great. Yours looks great. It's like, oh, this must be a British guy. Correct. I just look like I'm holding like, I'm

asking like someone to be like, my phone is broken. Can you help me out? And then another all time moment from that, which circulated on Twitter last week. was Trent steps up to the long drive, you know, into the stadium on the tee and hits one and just throws his driver. Yeah, they gave us kind of like, they said, like, do whatever you want after the thing was over. And we were hanging out with a couple of the long drivers. And he, one guy gave me his club.

And he's like, you got to go nuts after you do it. And I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, you just got to go crazy. He's like, you can even throw my club if you want. Oh. I was like, I'm going to do that. So I just hit it. And it is.

It's a very funny video. I remember in the moment, after it happened, we watched it back. We were still out there on the long drive stage, and we were just crying. It is so funny. It's weird to say that about myself, but it legitimately is so funny. It was just one of those things where we got the tears laughing, and we just couldn't stop laughing. And we kept watching, like, for 15 minutes, we just sat on that fucking tea in tears, watching Trent throw his driver.

And when that recirculated last week on Twitter, again, I just, I texted Trent. I was like, I can't fucking stop laughing at you throwing a driver. He's dressed in his full tiger gear. He's got black pants, the red, like Nike fucking. Tiger's sweater on in the black Nike hat and he just he swings he hits a good you know first T Trent and then he just throws his driver afterwards and it's an awesome that was a tough weekend tiger for tiger I think I think we flew down there or I took a bus I took as a dog oh fuck I forgot about it took a bus to Dallas that was supposed to be like part of the bit he's watching the video

right now quite the glow up for you too oh yeah yeah we look at right since then we look very different in that you're fat fatter and shittier fatter and like I didn't know what was going on really Trent didn't have any facial hair No, I didn't have any facial hair God, you guys look so much different We do You look like legitimately So much better right now

And I know that's a nice way of saying You guys looked fucking horrible in this video We did, we look compared to what you look like now Yeah You guys look fantastic I appreciate that No, you're welcome Better than the other way around, you know

No, you guys are horrific In this picture in this video I mean I'm not gonna get anymore It's very nice I'm glad it got recirculated Because some people who hadn't seen it Maybe they got on a foreplay and they're like, wow, what a glow up.

Yeah, yeah, they do. You guys look way better, and it's a pretty funny video. It actually came out great. I just want to see. Where do you throw the club? It was on Twitter. Oh, the guy hit out of your fucking mouth. Oh, yeah, that's right.

And I'm thinking, what a wild boy you were getting balls hit out of your mouth and your ass by Paige Vranning. Any moment did you think you were going to die when this guy. That one, I did. We're talking about a guy who can hit the ball literally probably further than anyone in the world, and he's just hitting it out of my mouth. That was a scary one. Just came across a little short of Trent there that does not look good. No, they look so different.

Oh, there's me on my bus trip. Andrews show me I'm pounding Rumbleman's on a bus. I can't believe you bus there. What a mistake that was. Dude, it was part of the idea. I know, I know. We pitched it that way. You were in New York.

I was still living in Iowa. And it was like Riggs is going to go in a limo and he's going to be all fancy. And then I spent two days on a bus with bus people. I don't know how to explain it. With bus people. That this doesn't look like rings It doesn't No, it doesn't

Dude, it's fucking scary, man That doesn't look like you Yeah, it's different You know Oh, we played it We played around a golf With Jeff Flagg Oh yeah, flag

With two G's Jeff Flaggagga I don't think you guys Put the throw in the video The what? We had to put the throw The other day I'm trying to look for it right now It's got to be

All right I just want to make sure It is We want to spend the whole show Looking for a club on Twitter I don't think that's really How it works So go check that out

If you can World Long. drive it was great it was fun we had a good time uh from the gallery let's rip through a couple of these you know i've had a couple of these on the list for a while and i can't remember if i got to any of them i don't think we have did we do the one about the kid the guy using his son to get pit no okay all right so we're going to go brent brent's got a great this one this one made me laugh brent says my son ace he's about two we've taken him in several tournaments including legend of golf big cedar uh in just the few couple tournaments that we've been to

to, he gained us the opportunity to meet most notably your close friend Gary player, Tom Watson, Mark Wahlberg, your boy Phil Mickelson. He said, point is, do you and the boys think it's low or below us for us to use our son as bait to get experiences and pictures with icons of the game? I tell my friends they have to take advantage of this, but can't decide if it's right or wrong. No, you absolutely use your kid if you have to as bait to get pictures. I mean, he's basically saying we get to meet all these celebrities because our cute two-year-old son that we just take everywhere draws people over and their son's names Ace, which is awesome. So, no, I think that's all in fair play. I mean, I was used for many years as a ploy by my dad to do this, you know? Big time.

My dad would try and get tickets to different events. And like, this is before we had season tickets to the Islanders. My dad would send me out into the, like, wherever they were scalping. scalping area, the parking line, he'd just be like, go act like you're lost or something and be like, I need tickets. And then like, so I'd walk there and be like, I don't have tickets. And my dad would come hustling over. He's like, it's okay, son, we'll get, we'll get some tickets soon.

And the guy's like, what do you need? Like, no way. Yeah. That's unbelievable. He's just, yeah, that's just. Adam Sandler does that in Big Daddy, I think, right? He's that little kid to pick up women. Now, like, I'm sure I'm probably like probably remembering it a little like more dramatic than

it probably was because I was young. But to me, I thought it was like fun. Dramatize things. Well, like, you just like, I'm sure my dad was like, well, no, like I used you, but like, I didn't like make you look like you were like homeless. Yeah. But man, yeah. No, my dad will always do anything to get like any sort of edge. He's a nice, he likes that shit.

So point being, if the Borrellas are doing it. Yeah. Brent, you should be doing it. Nick, Nick says, quick hypothetical question. If you're playing around for a hundred grand, okay, if you're playing around for a lot of money, would you rather, A, play a course you know like the back of your hand, but your game of the time is if you're playing. fee or not great or be play a course you don't know at all but your game is going good and going well at the time essentially what he's trying to get to is this fact everybody knows this that when you play like your home course or your go-to course everybody like plays that pretty consistently and pretty

well for whatever reason you're comfortable with the shots you know where to miss whatever the hell it is you know the brakes or would you rather be like no i'm playing well but go to a course you completely have no idea of it's tricky for i'd rather do the second i'd rather just be playing better Okay. Yeah. For a ton of money? Yeah. I don't know.

Well, I guess... I'm gonna have to play. I'd rather to play better. Yeah. Playing well, I would tie to scoring well. Playing well, like, hitting it well, but you're not scoring. So playing well in this sense, meaning scoring well? I'm just reading the question of Lurchat.

You know, I don't know. I know. I'm just trying to get to a core of... I would say I'm in a much better mental state if I'm just playing well. I don't care where it is. Yeah, it'd be nice to play where you know it really well, but if I'm playing iffy, I could go downhill and her. hurry.

I guess it really depends what type of golf you are too. Like how bad is you're not well, right? Right. Like, you know, if you're like a scratch golfer, it'd be like, I'm not really playing that great, but like you're playing, of course, you know, like the back of your hand, you're still not going to play poorly there. Like, you're just going to play well. You're a good golfer.

Yeah. Whereas some of us who can be very versatile out there. It's like, eh, or very volatile out there. It's like, if I'm not playing well, it could get ugly. But I do think it's a good one like that. It kind of goes to the whole point of like some people will be a three. handicapped at their home course, but like a 10 somewhere else or a seven or whatever because you just play really well at your home course.

I think if you're playing well at a new course, sometimes it also helps you because like it's your first time experiencing it. You're more like on top of your game. And then you're also doing things that like maybe if it was your home course, you try and take more risks. Like oh, I know I can cut this corner. I know I can hit it over this water and stuff. So you take like more risks.

And if you're not playing well that day, you're going to find yourself in more trouble. Just because it's your home course doesn't mean it's not like still difficult. But like a course like today, like Liberty National. I was just like trying to hit the middle of the greens and like middle of the fairways and just like get through the course. I feel like if you played it 15 or 20 times, like you're like, all right, I can start taking more liberties like around. Not to say Liberty National liberties, you know, but that was a good pun. You're trying to get some love for that? Oh, I looked at Trent, but he didn't give me anything.

I was definitely in. Usually he collie daps you when he thinks you're a good one. But yeah, I think it's always playing better because I don't know. I, there is a certain beauty and easiness to like when you're hitting it pretty well, when you go to. a new course and you're playing like your playing partner or caddy if you have one or something's like yeah just hit it right like on the left edge of that bunker and you don't know have any idea what's up there you step up again no problem you should hit it on that line or like roughly on that line versus if it is a course that you know and you know there's all kinds of shit up there

you'll be like well yeah but like I can't go here here here here that's how I fell with hanky-panky at Aaron Hill right he's like just hit it there hit it over there do this do that and just like okay cool and when I'm playing well that was way more fun than playing like shit at a place I know and then you get up to your ball you look back you like, man, we hit it like, we really got our way with it. Yeah, there's a lot of shit up here. Yeah, there's a, there's a, there's a freeness that comes along with that. Yeah, I agree with that.

So I do think it's a little dicey, but the end of the day, if you're playing well, you're playing well. That's probably, that's probably a big benefit. Doc B says, what happened to what's up doc? I'm a physician who practices general medicine and I got a kick out of you guys trying to solve your medical quandaries, such as Trent's Knightley Goblin attacks. You're still getting those? No. Have you been hurting yourself in your sleep recently? No, the Hulk has not visited me recently.

I've been sleeping well. My neck felt great, my back, my shoulders. Everything's kind of in line. Do we have any sort of medical ailments going on? What I would say is that I feel like my arms fall asleep a lot, especially when I sleep. I still have elbow problems and arm problems, but I'm not going to get into that.

Yeah, I think my left arm last couple weeks, I will say, like, probably four or five times we woke up, and it's like super tingling. That's just the nature of how you're sleeping, right? Like nothing's going wrong. I sleep pretty consistently like I just sleep on my stomach. Like I don't think I sleep on your stomach. Yeah.

I'm a stomach sleeper. Grab a bunch of pillows, moving around. Me too. Yeah, I sort of almost like I swim like into my bed. Yeah. And then like when the pillow gets warm, I switch over, go to the cold pillow over here. I'm not a stomach sleeper at all. What do you sleep on your back like you're in a casket?

No, I sleep like on my side or I don't know. I think I'm a side sleeper. Are you a side? I'm stomach to side, I would say. But pretty stomach and then just kind of. a leg sitting over there. You know, one of the great tricks somebody ever taught me was if you're ever sleeping on your side, you put a pillow between your knees.

Oh, yeah. That's mandatory. Saves your spine and all that. Oh, my God. Like, feels good on your knee. That's your life changing. That's your life on knee. No.

Neon knee makes me want to talk. God. You ever go, you ever go throwback? You ever go throwback? Fetus position? What? Feetal position? Just like.

You ever go throwback? Oh, tonight I'm going to go throwback. Feetis position? Yeah. I said it incorrectly. I will say that. Yeah. But you go just like, let's throw back to the early days, to the early, early days.

And you go with a big TBT. You just read. Yeah. On Thursday. Every Thursday. Every Thursday. Get in the fetal position. I bet you guys are laughing at me, but I bet if you tried tonight, you'd be like that was kind of nice.

So, I mean, it's based, that's just like sleeping on your side and steroids, right? You're just wrapped up. Yeah. You bring your knees up to your chest. Yeah. Yeah, bring those knees up. I don't know if I have that. That's a zero.

I'll never do that. Well, do it, you coward. Try it. You do that. I do every once in a while. You're telling me you get up, bring your knees to your chest, and then just roll in bed like that? I don't stay in that position, but you've been there for a couple minutes. I mean, unless I'm legit freezing, there's no way I'll ever do that.

I don't get my knees that high. No, me neither. I don't think I have that flexibility. I mean, it's not going to be like the olden days, but it's going to be good enough. You kind of get a reminder. Three reasons why sleeping on your stomach is bad. Hit me with number one. It places a strain on your spine.

What? I'm sleeping. Yep. Just lying there. Well, that's just what it says. According to one medical research group, sleeping on your stomach is bad for your back as it places a certain amount of strain and pressure on your spine. The reason behind this is the fact that the middle part of your body is exactly where...

What's the website? I've got a bad back, too. I'm thinking about it. SleepAdvisor.org. Anything.org is legit. Fuck. The reason behind that is that the fact that the middle part of your body is exactly where most of the weight is, making it difficult to maintain a neutral position of the same.

spine during the night. It's making a lot of sense. Number two, it causes pain in your neck. Just like sleeping with the spine, sleeping with the spine, sleeping on your stomach may also cause neck problems. I legit don't know if I could call you guys. Number three, it's really bad for moms to be. Really bad.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got that. You have a child in your stomach. Let me like in the chest feet of me. I'm stab with a knife in my stomach. Am I going to sleep on my back or my stomach? Putting a pillow under your pelvis is guaranteed to help stomach sleepers who refuse to switch.

Yes. They're literally saying that you should switch, but if you're refusing, put it. I've done that before with the sore back and you stuff a pillow right in your midsection is actually very nice. Yeah. I don't know if I could fall asleep on my back. Sleeping on your back is prime for your spine and your neck. Is that right? And it also stops acid reflux.

I'll say this. I probably sleep on my back 30% of the time. Probably sleep on my stomach 60% of the time. So this is how I sleep. I get in my bed. I watch the office. And while I'm watching the office, I start to get tired. So I'm on my back.

And then I'll like slowly turn over to my left. and then like I'll turn over to my right and then I just fall asleep. Like I'm never like turned away from the TV. I'm always just like sleeping. I'm either on my bag on my stomach or I face to the right all the time. I've noticed that if I face to the right and put enough pressure just on my right eye with the pillow, I fall right asleep. If I go to the left, it's more of like I'm looking at my phone, the whole thing.

My right pressure, there's something right here right. You got to go to your right. Yes, have to. Although I go to your left, you're two more hours. But then the left feels nice. Sometimes you get the air because that's where my air conditioner is and get the breeze. And also anyone who tucks in. their fucking

their, uh, comforter. It must be arrested. Arrested or stabbed in their bed immediately. Trent, are you about to say that you tuck in? No, I definitely don't.

Okay. No way. No way. But also, so you have to, you have to, you have to, it has to be a loose end, but you don't also want to have your feet out

because then the monsters can touch your feet. That's so true. Nothing you've said on this podcast has been truer than that. If you let your feet dangle out the end, you are asking for a monster. I will say what I do is I, What's he supposed to do? I kick out the bed sheets and then I wrap them around my feet on the bottom.

Yes, loosely. Loosely. Yes. It's like you're in like a little sleeping bag. Yes. And I had to do that because in college all they gave you was these little like twin beds or whatever. And so my feet would extend like a foot and a half over the fucking mattress. And so I used to put like a towel over the back wooden thing.

So at least like I could like at least rest my shins on it. Or rest my shins on it. It was brutal. Or are you getting in this weird diagonal thing, and the whole thing was a mess. You never hit anybody up? You have any big person beds? Yeah, not really, actually. You probably should have done that.

Should have done that. They got to have something. They got to have something. I just kind of figured out on like a diagonal. You could kind of a mix between side diagonal and a little fetal, actually, probably. A little fetal. Had to do a little fetal to even go to bed. You just waking up with like bloody shins every morning?

It's something. What's the issue? My bed's too short. Dude, when I rolled my ankle one time, my buddies were all just, make fun of me for it because I was like moaning in the middle of the night. It was the least comfortable sleep I've ever been on because my whole shin ankle was just destroyed and the best place I could rest it was just on a wooden beam. Oh, man.

Jesus, that sucks. Yeah, no good. All right. Well, I think that's it for us. We will be back on Thursday again, Julie Inkster, captain of the U.S. Solheim Cup team.
