Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. We're in the middle of holidays. We had Christmas. I hope everybody a great Christmas. I'm sure we'll get into our Christmases. And we've got New Year's coming up at the end of this week. So we're going to rip through a couple shows.

I will say that if you're listening right now, you should probably be, probably be prepared that these shows will be a joke. these are bonus shows. These are not shows that we have really any preparation for. I'm in near the coast somewhere in South Carolina at like a ranch where we were hunting earlier. I don't hunt. I just don't hunt. It's not a thing that I do. Drinking a beer is hunting.

Drinking a little wine. Had a couple glasses of fine scotch, which I don't really drink scotch either. And then Frankie came into the Zoom and was like, boys, I'm pretty like waffled. I've been boozing on this. So this is just going to be a shit show. But honestly, I'm fine enough to do this podcast. And I know everything that's coherently going on. Like my brain is still firing on all synapses.

I feel like I'm fine. I'm seeing Trent. He looks good. I mean, Trent, you look fantastic. Riggs, you look good.

I've never seen Riggs wear that type of camouflage before on that hat. I mean, you look like you're just in, you're like, you look like you're like a wannabe fucking hunter right now. It's crazy. Like, like,

who wears like, who actually wears camouflage when they're working hunting? you're like Kevin Kersner's girlfriend right now you just decided like oh this is the gun and then you guys are out there it's quiet is this this is hunting like you take a shot oh the kickback

and you're wearing the gear like you're being very supportive you're wearing the gear right now race you're wearing the gear everything you guys are saying is 100% there's zero yeah nothing's wrong about what you said and that's how I feel I feel like I look like I don't belong,

but then I'm trying to look like I belong. Yeah. Which is good, though. Like, everyone would do that in this spot, right? Like, if I went, I mean, I can't be the fucking guy. If I went hunting right now. Or am I going to be the guy out in the field with a fucking, you know, like sweet jeans on. No, no.

You can't. No, I'm saying the whole thing. You know, you, if you're there, you have to be wearing. You have to. You have to. If I went hunting, I'd be, I'd have the gilly suit on from Call of Duty. I'd be sitting here on a podcast with fucking grass coming out of my eyebrows because I need to fucking get low.

You mean going prone? Just the whole show. Going prone. Yeah. Okay. Owens mixers. We're going to start off by making sure we get at least one of our advertisers in there before this turns into a complete debacle.

I was drinking a ton of Owens over Christmas, man. Frankie just said he's been drinking for two days straight. That's pretty much what the holidays are all about. You get a couple cocktails. You get a few drinks. And it's just a great excuse to drink. nonstop for several days straight while in the middle of that gifts are handed out there's a couple pleasantries exchanged you see some family members it's a lovely time and then you don't have any

real life commitments for several days so you just continue to drink and if you're drinking you want something that's good that's delicious that appears to be classy and well formed a good little mixology owens mixers is the answer mint cucumber lime i tout that a lot the great fruit and lime i tout that a lot the transfusion which we invented we created we tout that a lot as well. Do yourself a favor. You go to Amazon. You can get this shit delivered right to you.

You pour it with a little liquor. You poured it with little ice. And boom, you got yourself a great cocktail. That's it. It's that simple. Even you morons out there listening. You can figure it out.

You know why? Because we figured it out. I figured it out. Trent figured it out. Frankie figured it out. Lurch is not here on this show. He has a family dinner. It is the holiday season.

But he's figured it out too. The big guys figured it out as well. So Owensmixix.com. You can get it there. Store. At barsoilsport. You get it there. you go to Publix, they've got them there, and you go to Amazon and get yourself,

order yourself some Owens. We love you. Owens. Thank you for supporting us. Okay, Trent, I'm going to start with Trent. How is your Christmas, Trent? My Christmas was great. So I am, I'm back in Cedar Rapids for the holidays. I haven't been here in a year.

How much corn have you eaten, corn boy? I, you know, have I, had any corn? I have not had any corn since I'm like that. I don't think people will be stunned by that. but I have had a bunch of Casey's breakfast pizza, which people will be jacked up about that. How many? How many of you had?

I've had three slices. So you just, you don't buy, you can buy the whole, the whole pie if you want to. But I like to go in the morning, you know, get a coffee and just go get Casey's breakfast pizza.

It's as good as it's ever been. How much soda pop? How much soda pop if you drank? Dude, that's the thing, really. You guys are shit-faced. I'm shit-faced on soda-pop.

I've drank so much. so much pop soda, whatever you want to call it? I called it soda pop on Twitter, and people took it way too seriously. Like, I was like, I'm drinking so much soda pop and they're like, it's pop, it's soda. It doesn't fucking matter. I've had 20 cans of Coca-Cola, like, over the last two days, but that's the holidays. Like that's, you know, I eat as much as I want. I drink as much soda pop as I want. Obviously, it's a little different. The gatherings are much smaller. Only seen a couple people since I've been back. But it's been good, man. It's just I haven't been back. in a year.

It's good to see my close family. And it's right now it's snowing. It's beautiful. It's just nice. It's what you want. Do you guys have a white Christmas? No, in New York.

Fuck. It only started snowing today. So, how about this? So fucking, you know, I go back to St. Louis. And we did like the first day,

we did kind of a Zoom Christmas. We had a few of our small family get together, but then we zoomed with a bunch of our other family and like saying some. songs like in a funny way and like we were all joking as well as great and then the next day you know it had been like in st louis it had been like 55 60 52 you know 61 like nothing crazy well we decide you know my my dad's side of the family decide to do an outdoor happy hour because of COVID so like we're going to do an outdoor happy hour come over like we're all

trying to be responsible the high was fucking 16 degrees holy shit it was 16 degrees so on the ride over there, we're all kind of like, they're not really going to stick to the outdoor thing, right? Like there's, you know, if we get it. It was cool if it's 50, but like it's 16 degrees out. They, to their credit, they stuck to the outdoor thing. If you went in to go to the bathroom, there's the only time you're allowed to go inside,

you had to wear a mask. And then we had, they, they snag the fire pit from their neighbors, put it in the garage, not in the garage, in the driveway. And then in the garage, they had like a space heater. And then the bar was set up in the garage. So you go into the garage. There was a TV on there.

Wow. extremely lovely. We had a great time. People were like cozying up a little bit and like doing a big circle around the fire. And fires fuck. Like fires bring like you a small fire is so goddamn hot. Science doesn't really make sense to me. And it's nice.

Like my, I had one of the Barstville classic buffs on and my buff now smells like fire, like a bonfire. Yeah. And that is such an added bonus. We actually start selling them where they come like they smell like fire. But my Christmas was. good. It was weird. It was a little different.

But overall, it was good and outside of the fact that we were in 16 degree fucking weather trying to do a happy hour. Bonfires are nice. Sorry, Trent, you can go. No, I, no, you go ahead. You fucking go, corn boy. Go ahead. Now it feels like Lurch is like, well, I thought you were going to speak, but there's a podcast. I'm going to stop the conversation. I'm going to let you talk. First of all, fire is legit magic. And second of all, the Midwest is so cold. Like,

I get that it gets cold on the East Coast. And it just, it snows and all that. But in the Midwest, there's just a different type of cold. When I landed on Wednesday, it was 18 degrees. And then on Thursday, the high, the high temperature was 12. And it was just, I woke up and it was five degrees. And they have the, you know, it feels like outside. It said it felt like negative 15.

Like, I get that it gets cold in different places around the country. But when it's cold in the Midwest, it's fucking freezing cold. Midwesterns love their fires, man. I was just talking to a couple of guys. who play hockey by the name of, he's an American hero. He's number 29 of the New York Islanders. His name is Brock Nelson.

It's a good guy who plays hard and loves the game. Brock Nelson and Nick Letty, these guys are on the New York Islanders. They play hockey. They love fires. And I was describing the way that I grew up, it's like, all right, in Long Island,

you kind of like have these fake fires. You have these fireplaces in which you kind of put candles inside. And like, it's just for the aesthetic. And they were like, well, no. Like when you grew up in the Midwest, you build a fire. And that's like, there's no gas fire. There's no lighting the fire on a can. It's like you build the teepee. You get inside. You fucking make sure it's all like completely built. And you fucking, you build this fire like an absolute like an absolute pro at building fire.

Like you're on like you're on meat eater or something. Like you're in the wilderness. Even if you're in your own house. And I've actually gained some respect for the in-house fire building. Like I think that there's there's a skill to that. that you can't just like the fire doesn't just build itself you do it on there's like a t p there's a whole thing to it and i don't know what the i don't know what the skill is i don't know what the like what the actual like stuff that goes into it is i just i look at it i'm like oh that guy has some skill and that's why we're we feel warm right now i you're correct that takes enormous skill and just like general manliness and craftiness that i don't possess like tom hanks in kansas

When he creates a fire, I would, you could put me there for a million years, never, ever, any circumstances, am I able to just create a fire? He says, I have made fire. And he goes crazy as he should, because it's an amazing feat that he did. Every, pretty much every fire I've ever been a part of or had around me is like for Instagram. It's like for shareable content. This fucking fire yesterday when we were outside in 16 degree of weather, this was a fire for practical purposes.

Like this was a utilitarian fire. This was like you need to huddle around that bitch. You didn't have time to pull your phone out. It was 16 degrees. My sister, God bless her heart, who listens to every show, she pulled her phone out. It was like, oh my God, it's negative nine out.

We were like, oh, holy shit, is that? And she had her phone on Celsius, but we were trying to figure out the numbers. We were trying to, we were trying to crank it. We were like maybe it feels like it's nine degrees up, but negative nine, whether you're talking Celsius, Fahrenheit, whatever you're talking about, it was just cold as shit. What's the other one?

Calvin? Scott Calvin, he wears other fucking people's pants. That's about it, Santa Claus. Does he might know the measurement I'm talking about? The fact that Scott Calvin put on Santa Claus's pants is the most bizarre thing of all time. Like who, just because Santa Claus like disappeared outside your fucking front lawn does not mean you go outside in your underwear and wear the pants of a overgrave. grown oversized male.

Trent, would you just put on the pants of a fucking of another man? I don't think I would, no. Trent, if you watch this show, it's got to do with poker. It's called Molly's game. It's on Netflix. You can probably rent it on Amazon. Have you watched it during all this time of relaxing and resetting of the mind? No, I have not.

But what I did watch was for Christmases, which came highly recognized. Oh, thank you, bro. Let me start. Let me, let me start out when Frankie and I

were flying to Phoenix to do a bunch of our matches that are coming out, that will be on YouTube, subscribe to our YouTube channel for a close golf. Really good videos. Really good videos.

Really good videos. When we were flying out to Phoenix slash Scottsdale, about halfway through that flight, I felt a tap on my shoulder. And I thought, well, we're in the middle of a pandemic. Who is tapping me on my shoulder?

shoulder who wants to talk to me and it's none other than Frankie Borelli the third and I'm looking at him and I'm like what's going on man and he says have you heard about this movie for christmas too yeah I think I saw I mean it's it's a bit of an older Christmas movie I think I saw it at one point but I don't remember much from it he said this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen not even just a Christmas movie one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and the next time you get a chance make sure you watch it and then the next and then on our flight home from Scottsdale to New York. He watched it again,

and he's over there. He's slapping his leg about four Christmases. I ended up watching it a couple days ago, and that movie was incredibly funny, and I'm very happy that I watched. Jeff D. Lowe, our movie guy, who I will give my life to, Jeff D. Lowe, Ken Jack, Trill Ballins.

They have the Lights Camera podcast podcast. They have an Instagram page. They have a Twitter page, the whole thing. They basically rank. every single movie in the world, movie rankings.net is their website. They have rated. Jeff D. Lowe personally has rated four Christmases

as one of the worst Christmas movies of all time, which I can't even fathom watching that movie and not chuckling to the point where you think it's a top enjoyable movie of all time. Trent, I've texted you and said it's an enjoyable movie regardless of if you're talking Christmas movies of regular movies. I mean,

the scenes of John Favreau tackling Vince Bond, tapping him out, the dad saying that he doesn't want some sort of child molester

walking around his house touching his underwear. Meanwhile, he's talking about Santa Claus. The movies, the quotes in this movie are so fucking funny.

Even if it's Christmas, Christmas has already passed. You're listening to this movie. It's December 20. You listen to a podcast. is not a movie for the record. You're listening to this podcast. It's December 28th.

Christmas has already passed you. You can still watch four Christmases. And you will fucking laugh your ass off. You will laugh your ass off at how funny this movie is. Vince Vaughn just does it for me. It's his style of comedy. It's his facial expressions. It's the way that he reacts to things.

It's fucking great. I love four Christmases. Trent, I'm very glad you enjoyed that on your holiday fucking break. I am so glad you enjoyed that. I just need you to watch them all. this game. That's all I need you to do. It's as simple as that. There's a million fucking minutes in the world. You can spend 120 of them watching Molly's game. It's on my list,

for sure. Yeah, you fucking ass. I finished the Queen's Gambit, by the way. Oh, my goodness. How much did you want to play fucking, how badly did you want to play chess when you watch that? Download of the app immediately. I mean, you don't. There's, it's a problem. Like, you have a problem because you just need Like a part of you thinks that this game, in order for somebody to get so good that they can just beat everyone else, like they're just a person with a brain like me. So like in theory, I too could use my brain to figure out how to be very good at this game. And I want to know what they're doing. I want to understand how one is better than the other. What are these fucking moves that they're making?

How can you play a whole different style of a fucking board game that seems to be a little bit more sophisticated than checkers? like you just want to know what that's all about. And I don't know anything about chess. So I have downloaded the app. I started to get into it. It's amazing how bad I am at it. Like I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know how many of the pieces move. I don't know a strategy. When you compare it to the show, we know we know peanuts. I mean, they know the names of certain moves. They know it's crazy. I could get YP like really easily in this game,

I feel like, which what is it? Three moves, five moves? I beat YP. We don't need to gloat about it because he gets mad at when I say it, but I beat YP and three moves. He doesn't like to talk about it. He says that I looked up the move and that aspect of looking up the move is a cheap way of winning,

even though it's a strategy and everyone at some point needs to learn the strategy and then apply it to the game. He claims that me looking it up is some sort of cheating aspect of chess, which I just can't see eye on that. one but um but yeah i mean y p doesn't like to talk about the day that i mean it's so we spoke about it and let's we're not here to harp on y p but no i love y p's one of my favorite people in the world totally but in a in a battle of wits and strategy and and sort of mental fortitude you just embarrassed y p to the maximum level and beat him in three moves in a game of jess

and you did it by looking up a move of a certain like bunking move that you could do. And he claims that that's, like, ridiculous and unfair. What we were talking about equating it to golf, because this is a golf podcast again and our chess podcast. We were saying, like, that's equivalent to looking up, like, a new technique to chipping or a new technique for, like, driving the ball straight on fucking YouTube or Google before you go tee off, you know, working on it on the range for five minutes

and then going out and beating your buddy five and four. Like, that's just what you did. There's nothing wrong. looking up a circle change and knowing your buddy can't like sit back on the change up because he's only looking fastball. It's like, well, you knew I couldn't. You know I can't adjust a change up. So like, why would you, why would you throw a change? It's like, well, I knew you couldn't adjust a change up, you asshole.

So I fucking threw a circle change like fucking Pedro Martinez and I struck you out in three pitches. Yeah, I beat you in three moves in chess because I knew you didn't know it was coming. You moved your pawn to F5 and I fucking succumbed. you with my fucking rook and my queen. Honestly, beating someone in chest makes you feel like such a superior human being. It's crazy. Like, even if you play just a random person on the chess.com app, if you play a random person you beat them, you want to message them after being like, do you feel like a less human

being that I just fucking beat you in a mental wit game? Like, we both have the same brain. We're both born with human brains and I'm just smarter than you. Like I always like want to write to that person being like I just beat you in a mental game. And like you lost to me. Like you had every chance to not lose and you did. Like how does that feel right now? But but yeah, I mean, chess just brings that out in you.

It brings like this cockiness out of you. And honestly, it's probably not good for my personality. I shouldn't be playing chess. Yeah, I would probably agree with that. Another thing that brings cockiness out of you is cooking, being able to whip up good meals with hello fresh. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Hello Fresh. I am. You get fresh pre-measured ingredients and mouth watering, which is a great thing.

Seasonal recipes delivered right to your door. Hello, Fresh lets you skip those trips to the grocery store. I can't fucking tell you guys how bad I am at going to the grocery store. I think I'm the least efficient grocery store shopper in the history of the world. I go from like an aisle on the far left to an aisle on the far right to like an eye. I just can't figure it out. It takes me forever. And then I don't know really what all you need to cook.

I didn't grow up. Parents didn't cook much. I didn't cook much. We got fast food. Like I don't really know a lot of the basics, the cooking. So what I'll realize, I'll look up like the little ingredients.

I'll be like excited. Okay, here we go. And then I get back to my apartment. I actually need like seven other things that they were just assumed I was going to have because any normal person with a base level knowledge of cooking would be able to figure it out. Not me.

I don't have it. Luckily. luckily, Hello Fresh saves the day. And again, that is an experience I've been through many times. You can cut down on grocery bills and food waste. Hello Fresh delivers pre-portion ingredients so you are not over buying, which is a burden on the entire planet and on your wallet. You want to be environmentally conscious.

Jake Bass, our producer, shout out to Jake Bass and Brendan Jones. They've been great all year long. He's sent a little note that says the Kelvin is a base SI unit of measurement defined as the fraction 1 over 273.16 of the temperature of the triple point of water, which is the temperature at which water in solid liquid and gaseous state coexist in equilibrium. Now, Jake Bass, let me say this. If you ever fucking send something like that again, I'll slap.

What the fuck does that mean? What the fuck? I understand. What are you talking about? What is that? Well, you said, what is Kelvin? And that's the measurement of, like, what defines the gaseous state. When you start using words like gaseous and coexist and equilibrium in the same fucking

sentence, you can go kiss your fucking ass back to the Ravens game, wherever the fuck you came from Jake Bass. But listen, we don't need that. We don't have time for fucking word. like fraction of one out of 273.16 of a temperature of a triple point of a fucking temperature of a liquid gaseous state coexisting and fucking whatever his name is Lamar Jackson's asshole. I don't give a fuck. What is the point in sending us something if it doesn't give us more information? It means nothing is what my point is.

What is that? Jake, do you read these things before you copy paste? No, he has no idea. This one I didn't. This one I didn't. Well, no, I read it. You have no idea. I mean, most of them, I'd say, I'd say I'm bad.

Okay, all right. Okay, Bass. What do you think that means? Explain to me what that means. Well, the Kelvin, you said there's different measurements of temperature. And the Kelvin is a measurement of the temperature of water that defines whether it's in a gase state. It's in a like H2O, a liquid state or it's in a frozen state. And that's a measurement of temperature of H2O water.

So that's the definition of what you were defining as a temperature. but what I'm saying A measurement of temperature What you sent didn't give us any more Practical usable usable information about the word Kelvin This shit's preposterous What you said

Wikipedia man That's why they say don't cite it in Essays You say that they do say that I knew a lot of people that got busted for doing that Did you ever try that Trent You ever try to cite a paper source By using Wikipedia

No I don't think so because the only and the only reason I didn't is that didn't have access to internet in Iowa. Okay. Yeah, come on. No, it's, uh, it was, um, because I think it was like an automatic app. They were like, if you cite Wikipedia, it's over for you. So we had to source all these encyclopedias and books in the library. Uh, what's the, what's the common, um, citation?

What is, what is it called? Oh, man. Is it an MLA format? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one, MLA. That stuff drove me fucking crazy. that drove me right out of school. MLA citations drove me right out of school. Dude, and like, if you didn't use a consistent citation format, you would, like, lose points on a paper. It's like, who gives a fuck? You know what I'm talking about. Like, you know where

I got this information from. Yeah, that citations drove me crazy. I know they're important, but like, you're just like in a library at 2 a.m. Like, come on, man. Are they important, Trent? Well, you got to cite the work, I guess. You know, a lot of people do a lot of work, a lot of important work. you're just like, no, I'm going to cite this. I don't disagree with that. But the way in which, if you just put a little star at the bottom of the page, it just says, like, I got this from here. Right.

It was like, what's the issue? I agree with that. I agree with that. Like, I used to get, like, points off for not indexing or indenting the way that the author was citated in an MLA. What was that little? You said Arthur. Author.

The way that I indented an author in my MLA formatted essay, it's like, well, if I could just give this person the credit that they deserve, like, who gives a fuck? And even if I write it like with pencil being like, hey, I got this from this book. Who cares it how I fucking cite it? Why do you care? That's my... Actually, actually, the way that the world should be fucking set up and the way that literature should be set up is that we should all have our own form of the way we speak and the way we write. Like, if I want to be able to do things with arrows and stars and be like, hey, this.

This is citated by this. Like, why do I have to form to this, this, like, this way of thinking that Miss. At East Meadow High School taught me how to write and express my feelings. Fuck you, Ms. I don't care of the way you fucking made me right. Like, I don't give a fuck. You had a wolf tattoo on your ankle. I asked you what your tattoo was and you gave me detention.

Are you fucking kidding me? Like, I, like, this is crazy town that I can't just fucking write the way I want to write. Like, don't you guys agree? Couldn't agree more. I think it's preposterous. There's a certain way to citate the way that you perceived and re-evaluated and repurposed information. I have to citate things the way that you want me to? Okay, big government.

Do you want me to fucking, like what else do you want me to do? Fuck you, Ms. Frank, was the tattoo, Wolf tattoo in like a, was it supposed to be in like a sexy way? Or was it in like a... Dude, Ms. Bid tattoo on her ankle. It was a fucking... And it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, howling at the moon. I said, Ms. B.

I got some crazy tattoo there on your, on your ankle. And she gave me detention for just mentioning the tattoo. I said, well, now, hold on. I didn't fucking put the tattoo on you when you were drunk in Chinatown in 1998 when you fucking walked down to the tattoo parlor and got that thing on your ankle. And she's like, you don't mention skin in a classroom. And I said, well, I mean, come on. This is crazy.

I mean, all we can see is this. fucking this this this this this warwolf howling at the moon here to have open discussions it's crazy yeah it's the only time one of the only times they ever got detention yeah she definitely really regretted that tattoo she regretted the shit at that tattoo now when i'm 27 looking back at looking back at bad like decisions and like the way you grow up and stuff like she's looking back at that to being like man man did i fucking fuck up that day when i got that fucking werewolf howling at the moon an alma, whatever, it is what it is. So let me tell you how bad I wasn't hunting today.

So we go out, we get here, this is our first day. We arrive. We're in South Carolina. We got the whole crew, and we've talked about it a lot, but my old man is a big outdoorsman. My brother's a big outdoorsman. And I'm a joke. I don't know how to do any of that shit. And it's kind of a, they laugh at me and they're like, you know, whatever, he's a moron.

So we get out there and we go to, we go dove hunting. This is sort of a, this is like an intro to the weekend day. It's like a bonus day rather than sit around the house. They got like an hour of daylight. So we're going to go out to this field. We're going to go dove hunting. So they hand me a shotgun. I'm sitting there next to my brother and my dad.

Kids and like Dewey are on the other side of the field. A couple other guys are in the other corner of the field. And they're like, yeah, you know, like it's pretty simple. Dubs are going to fly by. And when they do, you just fucking shoot at them. Try out to shoot like lower than the tree line because that gets a little dangerous because we're all out here in this field. whatever. So they just hand me a shotgun.

Like, I haven't, you know, I grew up doing a little bit of the outdoor stuff, but I haven't shot a gun in, I don't know, five, six years. So I don't even know how to unload, load safety on that on. So I'm trying to like make sure, obviously I'm like, all right, dad, give me the quick rundown here. This is a gun, right? This is a device created by human beings, engineering feet designed specifically to kill things. And I'm holding one.

And I'm about to, um, pull the trigger in certain directions. And I just want to be really crystal fucking clear here on the situation before I do this whole concept that we're talking about here. And so I do. I get the whole rundown. Well, then my brother's on the left.

I'm on the right. And then next day I know, kids is yelling at me across the field goes, rigs on your right. There's like six rigs. And I look and I'm like trying to pull to my right. And I still got the safety out. So I pull the trigger once.

Safety's on. Nothing happens. Obviously. So then I'm like, well, I'm trying to take the safety off, but all I'm thinking about is like, if you just pull your gun down a little too far, you're going to shoot like the 25th ranked player in the world in the fucking face from like across the foot. So you can't do that's what. Next thing, you know, you know, you're supposed to be able to get three.

You can get three shots off with this thing. And like that's a pretty good look at a couple of doves. Doves aren't that impressed. Like they kind of fly. They're big. They're kind of they're fucking. They got their wings expanded. So they're right in your face.

You should be able to hit them. And I just, I was miles behind these things. things. And so now the rest of the day, they're like, well, Riggs with the most unathletic attempt. And I'm like, athletic. Like, you think I'm going to jump to a backflip and then shoot a shotgun at a fucking bird in the sky? Like, what are you talking about? I'm just out here to try not to kill somebody. If I knew, if I go three full days in South Carolina, we do the air quote hunting and nobody gets shot, friendly fire by my pellets that came from the trigger that I pulled in my gun, I had a great hunt, like a phenomenal hunt. And they're chirping me for not

killing a bird right away. This bird is flying through the sky. Like it is, it's a magnificent feat to be able to fly. We talked about it. The fact that airplanes can just fly into the air and we're sitting on that airplane. Now you're talking about a creature can just do it with its own willpower and its own like fucking science and physics. And their bones?

Is it their bones that less than fly? What is it? Oh, they got like, they got like light bones and they can just fly. And now you're telling me. Trent, is it bones? I,

uh, boy. That was how a combination of the bones and the feathers. Feathers got to play a big part in it. You think, but is it the bones, though? It's definitely not not the bones. You know what I mean? Like, if the bones aren't there, that bird's not getting off the ground. But like I said, it's a combination of everything.

That thing has to be perfectly engineered by nature to then one day be able to fly. You think their bones are that much different than our bones? Yes, I think they're, I think they're super, they're super ready to fly those bones. You know, those bones were made to so. They're flying bones. They got flying bones. The word's not dense, is it? Is it dense? No. Our bones are dense.

Here comes Jake Bass with another copy paste. Our bones are dense. Birds use their strong breast muscles to flap their wings and give them the thrust. Yeah, no shit, Jake back. Of course, you fucking ass. That fucking birds use their chest muscles. flap their way oh really dude i thought they just stood stationary and just said a prayer in the fucking wind flew them into the sky i will i will i will say i will say muscles is a word that we did not come up with so that's better than we were doing yeah muscles help muscles help anyways

my whole point was that i'm getting chirp for clearly these birds these dubs flew in front of my face and i didn't shoot and kill them right away and my whole goal out here and i think that anyone that's in my shoes, anyone that's in my boots. They're saying goal would be just don't kill anybody. That's all I'm here to do. I'm not here to be impressive. I'm not here to shoot a bird, which is magnificent, which uses either its muscles, bones, or feathers to fly. I'm not here to, like, be more impressive than that bird.

Are you fucking kidding me? What's Kisner been like during this whole trip? What's he been like? Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, we've seen him on the golf course. It's like, you've seen him now. He's like, is he laid back? is he like is he is he a is he a hero at this stuff is he act like he's the best fucking hunter in the world like what is kids are like yeah what

oh tread trend try i'm trying to plug it try to plug in that corn into that internet outlet trying to plug in the corn into that internet outlet you've lost connection my bad what's bradley cooper's name in wedding crack so that was the first thing that i quoted i said let's go kill some burns i'm psyched yeah You know, my brother said, I don't even know what a fucking quail is. So we were like, we were doing the whole thing. They're firing at all cylinders right there. That's unreal.

Yeah, we were doing the whole thing and it felt good because we were actually wearing camouflage and holding shotguns. So we set it, which was really cool. Kiz is like, as laid back and as in the zone and in his own element as I've ever seen him. And he's not, he's not like I'm the best. He's very concerned about everyone else being good at hunting. Like, he wants you to kill shit.

He like comes over and it's like, Riggs, I want you to try this. Look at that. And then he chirps his dick off, but that's just to be expected. So he's roasting everybody. Doey's here. He's roasting him.

Swing coach, JT's here, who we know pretty well. He's roasted him. He's roasting my dad and my brother. So he's doing his thing. He's kind of walking around chirping. It's a little bit similar to kids on the golf course, I would say,

where he's really not in any way concerned about anything that he's doing. And he's mostly just chirping what everybody else is doing because he knows what he's doing is totally fine. Has your dad made a statement at being an outdoorsman, or has he kind of like been shy in the fact that he's on someone else's turf? My dad does his own turkey gobbles, and they brought the house down at the barn. I mean, you wouldn't believe what this guy does.

His whole face moves, and like he has to do, in order to get the acoustics right to do the gobble, he literally gobbles like a turkey, and he sounds so much like a turkey, people can't believe it. But he was doing his own gobbles. You know, we get to the fucking barn after the little hunt. And everybody's getting a little whiskey hanging next thing. I know my dad's on the other corner of the barn with like kids and Dewey doing turkey gobbles.

So he can't hide it at that. That is a great skill to be able to hone in and be like, I can gobble like a turkey when we go when we go hunting. I can just sound like the animal we're hunting, which is unbelievable. So they do like, do you do the turkey? They do, like, he can do like, he can hoot like an owl really well. So he does like the whole thing. He gets his hand in there. I obviously, I can't even try, but it is incredibly impressive.

And it is a man who has owned his craft over 50 years of doing this shit. And he's good, man, to the point where he convinces birds to fly in to say hello to him so that he can kill them. That's how good he is. So he's made his presence that he is an outdoorsman during this trip. Like he hasn't, has he hasn't like, like, he hasn't just. disappointed in the fact that like this is like your kids invited you and your dad and your brother your dad's an outdoorsman it was it needed to be an impressive feat for your dad to be an outdoorsman this week and he hasn't disappointed my dad's performance has been so confident thus far that the first hunt today we went out he didn't even hunt

he literally just gave he just allowed my brother and i to have guns and he just observed and had a beer and hung out it's perfect yeah right so it was almost like like, what's that guy hiding right there? And then he started walking around and calling to the birds. And when you're calling to the birds, like, that's a little bit of, you're sending to the other guys. So yeah, he's also, you know, my dad, God bless his heart. Like, it's undeniable.

Like the minute he walks in, you saw, people saw when I posted the videos and pictures when he played golf with us. Like he wears Tiger Woods like outfits almost. Like he's got the like full baggy cargo pants. that unzip halfway through tucked in with like a flannel camouflage shirt then he's not doing what I'm doing where I'm wearing the camo hats so everybody knows I'm a hunter this week he's doing it for like practical reasons that's why he's wearing this shit he's got like he's got like fly fishing flies tied to like his fucking cargo pockets and shit like he's just ready to go at all minutes of the day

he's got like ammunition just comes out of his cargo pockets when you're running low on your like he's just ready to go at all times and so you know he bleeds it you can't it's undeniable when you see him you're like this guy's here to fucking kill stuff and it's not his first rodeo yeah that's good to hear you need you need to bleed you need to bleed that stuff especially with all that anticipation going into this trip it's good to hear that he's making an impression on that because there's no other you can't have anything less than that he he leaves zero doubt he leaves yeah yeah um okay from the guy We're going to rip through a few of these from the gallery.

I almost said. I almost just said. And credit to our friend. I can't really focus here. I have to show you. Yeah, this is tough. I have to show you guys this. This pillows of this place.

I think the pillows here have their own logo. Look at these. What's on that wall that you're, what kind of? Look at the pillows, Frank. What is that? Is that a bunch of trees? I think it's a bunch of like Spanish moss trees. That's an, what is that?

Is that a little. nook next to the bed? Yeah, it's a nook. Who can fit in that nook? Why even pad that? Look how small that nook is, no, no. No.

Oh, it goes, it's deeper than I thought. It is deeper, but then you still got to put your feet on the bed, so why even have the knuck? I'm incredibly uncomfortable. There's no reason for that nook to be there. There's no reason for that knuck. But let me ask this. Do you think people were way smaller back in the day?

No, no one was that small. Yeah, no, it's like, they're like seats at Fenway Park. Yes. Yes. That's true, Trent. Oh, very cultured of you from being from Iowa. I'm gonna, I, you're from Long Island, dude. What is that? What is that fucking mean? All right? Cornboy, what the fuck does that mean? You know what that means. Trent, by the way, did you like that fucking, that fucking montage on my fucking phone? I've talked to you. That was emotional. First of all, one of the funniest things I've ever seen that it exists and two my tweet to you was real like I got legitimately emotional

watching that back I'm going through my photos the other day you know it's the end of the year sometimes things pop up like oh this this day a year ago you took this photo whatever things pop up I'm looking at my fucking albums on my phone and anyone can do this if you have an iPhone that says you know uh you're tripping Kentucky you're trip in Australia. And then it says portraits over the years. So I clicked it, like thinking like, oh, these are fucking sick photos I've taken over

the years. Portraits, meaning it blurs the background, nice photo. I click on this thing. And the first photo is Trent. The second photos trend. The third photos trend. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? The fourth photos trend.

Fifth photos trend. 15 photos go by. It's just a collage and highlight reel of Trent Michael Ryan. And I was in tears. I was laughing so hard. Every picture that came up was like, it was like I was watching a sporting event. I was going crazy every picture that came up. And then it'd be like a funny, like Trent with a fucking snake, Trent holding a koala bear.

I'm like, what is happening? I've taken a million other portrait photos. I know I have. I looked it up. I have 3,500 photos on my phone. There's no way the only portraits I've ever taken is of Trent. There's no way. It's impossible.

Trent, one of you in the office was just like looking off into the distance. Oh, I've often said that you should change your glasses to that photo. Yeah, I put that, I had that picture on my Instagram and everyone told me that I should switch to glasses like that. The collage, the collage is very funny.

And it also felt like, the collage. Colage. You're right. Too many soda pops. I've been, sorry. I've been drinking. If,

it's, it's, but I also got an inside look on what my funeral is going to be like. Yes. It had that sort of music where you're at my memorial. I'm laying in the, in the open casket, depending on what happens.

I'm laying there and like, there's like, oh, this is the sweet music like, oh, here you're at Trent Ryan's Memorial. Enjoy, it's a celebration of life is what it was.

So it was funny. I got legit emotional at our friendship. and also I know what it's going to be like when I die. So I got a whole bunch of things at that. Very funny. It got me through the whole holiday weekend. I mean, I'm very happy that I stumbled upon that. And I'm glad I was able to share it with you.

We have some from the galleries to get through. I know we have to get through them. So let's hear some of these things from race. All right. Grant says, how often do you use a range finder? And do you think you could shoot under 90 without one? essentially like I don't know that you need to put a number on it because that some days I just can't shoot under 90 no matter what but how often do you use a range for it I will say this I will say

this about range finders a a um the range finder saves a ton of time like there used to be a time and I know like Frankie when you're playing high school golf when I was back like you usually had to walk around and look for fucking sprinkler heads and that takes forever like you don't know where they are half of them a lot of the munis and stuff that we play they don't have anything on top of them. So you're walking around all day. You're looking, you, you finally sense something. You see like the depression in the grass. You walk towards it. And then it's, you think it's a sprinkler head. It's actually just a fucking drain. And it doesn't have a yardage marker. And then you you're going to walk around all day. And then eventually you're just like, fuck this. I'm going to

eyeball it. I'm going to guess it's like 155. And then you're wrong by 15 yards and see you later. So range finder is huge, not necessarily as much. I don't think in shaving strokes, but in shaving time on the golf course. And the second thing I will say, and this is not an ad, I've got, I got the wingman that the Bushnell thing that we've been using. And, you know, you put it at your pocket, hit this little button. It gives you front, back, and middle to every single green. And that is diabolical. And why it's diabolical is just the front edge of the green, to me is a number that, like, as an amateur golfer for most of your life, we never played, we never played, not professional. We never played, like, competitively, like, outside. Frankie played a little high school golf.

like other than that, we just play matches against our buddies. We fuck around it. Understanding the front edge of a green is almost everything. Because like even if a pins like back, middle, back right, if you just land it on the front, it's almost never going to like spin off unless you're hitting a 60 degree wedge and it's soft out. So like even if you land a seven iron in the front, it's going to roll out a good five yards or so to the middle of the green. So the number to the front I've actually learned, in my opinion, is significantly better for. for my game than knowing exactly the number

to the pit. I agree. I think the front edge is a significant number like you're saying. It's something that I don't think about enough. When I golf with my buddies or even on these videos that we do, like I'll turn to Lurch I'll be like, why the fuck am I shooting

this pin? Like I'm going pin hunting right now over a bunker like in the back right of a fucking green. Like I suck. I should be taking, instead of taking a nine iron to attack that pin, I should be taking like an eight iron and slowly swinging and just hitting the middle of the green. Like why am I not like clubbing up and just hitting the center of greens?

I will be such a better golfer. I'll have such a better like strokes gained around the greens. I'll be such a better putter because I'll be hitting flat fucking putts from the middle of the green. I won't be going crazy chipping these nice like these like slow handsy little chips when you miss the green because you're going after pins. Like you won't have to deal with any of that. Just hit the middle of the greens and just put to putt all day. If you could just do that, you become that 85 to 90 golf for every single time you play. And if you hit the bowl well, you go even lower.

But like you eliminate the shit if you go for the pin. And getting the yardages from the front of the pin, like you're saying, like it eliminates all that bullshit. Like the pin may be 83, but if you get in a 75 to the front, you're just like, oh, it's a whole new club. even though mentally you're like 83 oh now it's a now it's a now it's a now it's a 52 degree that i'm going to swing 56% and i'm going to go like who the fuck do you think you are no it's a fucking 58 degree it's 75 yards hit the front of the green let's just put two times and let's make a par or bogey let's just move on let's accept who we are as a golfer and let's just move on to the next hole let's stop going for pins because we're not fucking jason day out here and one thing that i've

really learned is like I don't make very many birdies no matter how good of a shot I hit like if I hit right at the flag with the number that I thought in the club that I thought how often do I make birdie on that shot very rare less than two percent of the time I'll be long I'll be short even if I'm eight feet I'm like 30 percent to make that maybe so it's like in reality what's the fucking difference between hitting that shot and I don't even have to take on that bunker that short or that gigantic like, you know, ridge that's over the green and the end of this chipping area

where it's possible to get it down. Actually, if I just hit it 40 feet left of it or 30 feet left of it and cover the front edge of the green, I'll have an area where I can two putt almost every time or a very good amount of the time. And next thing, you know, I'm just playing like smart good golf. And I've told like shout out to kids.

I'm at his fucking place right now. But when we played against kids at Palmetto, where he dusted us, beat me five and four, giving me 14 shots, he playing his home course, place that he knows better anywhere else in the world, he hit it not only close a lot,

but like if there was ever a left pen, he was like 10 or 12 feet right of it. And if there was a right pen, he was like 10 or 12 feet left of it. Like he always erred on the safer side of the greens so that he clearly, if he pulled it, he had room and if he pushed it, he was going to be really, really tight.

But he just always played from the middle of the green towards the pins. And that might sound simple, but when you suck at golf, and you somehow get into this mindset of like grabbing a rangefinder, aiming it right at the pin, and then lining up and just aiming right at the flag. And you don't know if it's a right pen, left pin,

you don't give a fuck, you just aim right at the pin. And then when you inevitably just don't hit it properly, because we don't hit it properly, like 95% of the time, you end up in a horrible spot, whereas I think you can really kind of maximize your margin for error and the probability that you can still make a pretty good score if you play a little more smart. Yeah.

I agree. It's just smart golf is more, smart golf is more important than, it's hard to explain. It's like you can sit there and get all the lessons you want like for like, you know, you learn how to hit the right chip. You learn how to hit the right fucking draw. You learn how to hit the right fucking cut. But if you just learn how to play smart, it's more important for the average like shitty golfer, the average weekend hack to learn how to play smart as opposed to learn how to play correct. That makes any sense. Like I don't need to learn the. perfect way to swing the club. But if I learn the smart way to play golf, I'll still score the way that I want to because

like I'm hitting front of greens. I'm rolling out. Like I'm not getting that fucking check, that one two hop, check back that Rory McElroy gets when you watch it on Sunday on fucking CBS. You're not getting that. So like, why are we going for pins? Why are we hitting? Why are we sitting there searching for what the pin number is and like trying to hit that number

as opposed to just like getting it on the green? why are we even looking at the pin as an average weekend hack when we have the driving range are we looking at pins or are we just hitting the ball we're hitting the ball towards like areas and we should be doing that when we're playing golf for scores like when we're out there with our buddies we should be we should be hitting towards areas that's how i honestly that's how i try and get better is like acting i'm on the range and just like act like there's a 150 yard marker out there and i'm just going to hit it around that and hopefully i hit that green that center of the green and then we'll put but then i always lose that like of focus when I'm playing because I'm like,

oh, let's go up for the hole. Let's go, let's fucking drain this thing. You're 85 yards out. What are you talking about? Who do I think I am, Phil Mickelson? Where you go, pull the fucking pin? Like, this is crazy. I haven't made a fucking shot from 85 yards in my entire life. It reminds me

a little bit of, um, Trent playing like his career around in Aaron Hills with hanky-panky, like steering him around the course, where it was like having someone essentially managed the course, to do course management for you, like led to one of your best rounds you ever play. Yes.

Yeah, no, I think that I think what Frankie's saying is, is very, very true. And yeah, we have done that the last time, like, when we were doing those videos in Arizona, we would be like, Lurch would be at the end of the range and he'd be like, let's just aim towards that flag out there. And it's less about like get it so close that we're going to have a tap and put. It's more like to start lobbing balls out into that area. Get into that direction, Trent. Yeah, right, right.

if you just hit in that direction, it's like when you, it's, it almost works the opposite way where you would think where you, you aim in a smaller area, you'd think that that is going to lead to success. But actually, if you aim towards a larger area and you make it more general, that you, you can make a mistake and still be okay, as opposed to if you try to make it into the hole, like you're saying, from 85 yards out, from 110 yards out, like then you put pressure on yourself to get that close and you end up hitting a way worse shot than you would have if you were just speaking generally. So I think that's a really interesting way to think about it.

I feel like in some sports, like the term is aim small, miss small. I feel like that's like sometimes said. But in golf, I feel like it's the opposite. I feel like in golf, it's almost like aim big, miss small. Like if you aim at the middle of the fucking of the green, you're like, you're not really going to miss that shot. Like even if you're on the left, you're on the back or on the front, like you still have a put.

But if you aim at the pin, the odds of you hitting a bunker. or the rough. It's so much greater to miss the green when you're aiming for pins. To me, it's not worth it. And honestly, when I golf the next time, we always talk about the mentality of golf and the mental side of golf and how I'm a fucking mental nightmare. I should really be thinking about just center of greens.

And I really, really do want to change that aspect of my game. Like, I want to just say, like, all right, when I'm on top of that ball, 150 yards out, I'm just fucking looking at the green. Like as if it's just as if it's a target on the driving range. Stop looking at that pin in the back right. Like just let's just look at that green and just fucking hit. And I think my score will be significantly better if I do that.

I genuinely think it. I think you're right. There's something I want to add about like Ains Small and Miss Small versus Big Target in golf, which I think you're absolutely right on. But before I get to that, I have to talk about January and how important it is for setting the tone for the new year. and in 2021, that has never been more true. Luckily, our very good friends,

That's one word. promo code for play. Please go to CBDMD.com. Use the promo code for play. play you get 25% off that's one word for play cbdmd.com what i was going to say frankie is that the idea of aim small miss small um and applying it to golf where actually you're like aiming at bigger targets but i still think it's a little bit of both and what i mean by that is picking a small target in the middle of a in the middle of like the middle of the green

not necessarily at the pin um helps like picking a fucking uh um um a pine tree that is, you know, 30 feet left of the pin and actually directly in the middle of the fat part of the green where you're trying to hit it, do everything you can to hit it at that tiny pine tree because even if you miss it a little left or a little right, you're still in the main fat part of the green, which where you're trying to be in the same way on t shots. Like I feel like if I just step up and I'm like, oh, I'm just going to aim for the fairway, like just hit the fairway. It actually becomes tougher because you're like, well, fuck, that looks.

Whereas if you step up and you aim at like, you know, a steak that's in the right center of the fairway and you can't take your eye off it, then if you do miss left to right, you're actually still in the fairway or you're barely in the rough and you're totally fine. But I think like making those really small targets not like right at the fucking pin or not like over a bunker right next to a water hazard off the tea, making those tiny targets, aim small miss small targets, actually the more forgivable parts of the golf course, I think help golfers like us dramatically.

That makes sense. I see that. Yeah, no, it's always got to be target. I mean, you have to have some sort of target that you're aiming at. I mean, or else, even when you're at the driver range, and that's what I said before. Like, you have to look up, you have to see something that you're aiming at, whether it's a fucking 150-yard marker, 175-yard marker at the range. I just feel like I hit the ball better when I'm aiming at a general area as opposed to a very small, minimal target. And when we're at the range before the Arizona matches,

like when me, Lurch and Trent and you were all just hitting at certain fucking yardages and we're like, we were just dialed in like hitting them just towards greens. I'm like, holy fuck. Like, I'm just a sick golfer today. Like, what the fuck? And when you think about it, the difference is that you're really not thinking about hitting it near anything.

You're just hitting it towards a yardage. And we should be doing that every time we go out to golf. I'm sure a lot of people listen to being like, yeah, I wish it was that easy. But it kind of is that easy. And if we all just think about that every time we hit, it really makes it a lot more simple. Just like hit that yardage, act like you're on the driving range.

Just advance it towards an area that you want to. And it's going to end up happening. Like you're going to end up hitting it towards that area. As opposed to being like, I'm going to hit it within a 10 feet radius, a 10 foot radius around this fucking hole that's 175 yards away. Yeah. Who do you think I am? Fucking Ernie L.

This is crazy. I don't know if easy is the right word. Like if people would say it's like simplifying it. Simplifying, yes. Like, obviously it's hard. Golf is one of the hardest games in the world. If you can find any way to simplify it, that's the way to do it. And then you're, and then you, you know, I think you're right, Frankie.

I think you're way better off. Myself included, obviously, like, if I just do that every single time and way better off, I have a serious itch to play right now, although I'm sitting in a snow-covered part of the country. But I hit it so pretty well on that Arizona trip that I, I need to get back out there and I don't know when that's going to happen. Your first round, I'm excited for people to see that video against Paige, Dustin, Chelsea, and Mel, because you hit the ball on a fucking string. And we kept saying it's a damn shame, Trent Daddy, that we're not playing today a round of golf,

filming a travel show, something of that nature, because it would have been a day, I think, where you would have broken 100 easily. I think that's probably right. Like sometimes eBug or Jake will put clips into our. or group chat just to like see how it's looking or whatever. And they put one of mine in there. And it's just, I've watched it a million times since they sent it. And I just want to go back out there and try to recreate it.

So yeah, the page video I did, I played pretty well. So, yeah, I'm just hoping to get out there at some point soon. Speaking of video. Frankie, when's the last time you played golf? Is that a trip? Yeah, when we played in Arizona. I haven't played. I need to, no, I need to fucking play.

I need to keep playing. It's crazy. Fuck you, Kevin. Oh, there he is. Why don't you go fucking get, why don't you go, like, move the camera onto this guy? Here's what I would say is it's like, I was kind of invited as like a getaway thing, and I don't want to be shoving cameras in the guys first. He's still fucking Kisner.

Like, who gives a fuck? I know, but I think it's fair. I think it is fair. But my point to, yeah, I haven't played that much. And Trent is playing buttery recently. He's hitting great irons. And to the point of watching videos and all this stuff, YouTube it's going to be coming out.

We put out our final travel series from Australia. Go watch that video. I don't know that it's getting enough love. The drone work, the filming, the way that this golf course at Barmboogel looks, it's crazy. I mean, anyone listening to this right now if you've gotten this far

in this drunken holiday episode, go watch, I mean, you're obviously a big fan if you've listened to this far. Go watch that YouTube video and see just how beautiful that golf course looks. Honestly, I don't know how many more golf courses we're ever going to play, regardless of where you play that will have that good of visuals. I really don't.

Maybe none. It's really impossible. Like Pebble Beach is one, like Torrey Pines, like anything on the water like that, but I don't know how many more golf courses you can possibly think of in the world that have the visuals of Barbougal like that. And we captured them on the ocean, on the beach. Lurch was shooting like a 72 at the, it was honestly, go watch it. It's stunning. There are also very funny inside for play moments in that whole video of like the dichotomy of Lurch playing very well. We wanted to win the RUt Cup, but it became pretty clear several holes in that we weren't going to win the Rookeup. So then like we were trying to root for Lurch.

And I do think a large part of us was rooting for Lurch, but also I'm too competitive to root for Lurch. So I was like pretty upset the Lurch was playing that well, but also kind of happy for them. And all these things were going on amongst some of these sickest drone footage we will ever get with the turquoise water and then the giant dunes and then the green grass all juxtaposition against each other. It was just like, holy fuck. Like what fantasy land am I on right now?

We actually on Chris, the day before Christmas Eve, or Christmas Eve, which I guess was Wednesday night. We were drinking to my buddy J.R's garage. We're having a few drinks on the right television and the world juniors on. I think they were playing like the wildup games. Huge bummer about that guy. What's his name, Doc or Dad,

whatever the guy's name is, the Canada guy that had to get broke his hand and had to get taken out of a tournament. I'm not sure exactly the diagnosis was on a ginger, but we were actually watching that, the highlights from that. And then on other TV, he's got a couple TVs in his garage, his little man came. We had on the footage just from our round,

and we didn't even have sound on. And by 10 minutes into it, every single person in the garage was just glued to the TV with our round on it, because the footage is that outrageous. People are like, where the fuck is this? Like those holes,

four, fifth, six holes in the front nine that show the dune with the water, with the holes were so good on the drone. I couldn't fucking believe it. Hey, Kiz. Hi. What's up? Here.

Hello, Kevin. Hey, Kevin. Hi, Kevin. You're just giving a wave. Just a quick wave. Yeah, quick wave. I bet your podcast is going great. It is going great.

There you go. Go through your little child walkway there. What the fuck is that little doorway? What's up, J.T. What's our guy, J.T. What up, Frank? What's up, J.T. Are we doing good?

Wow, that's a nice little, that's a nice little beard on you. Yeah, it's been, it's not golf. It's time. Is that your quarantine beard? Been living in the, yeah, who live in the woods in December? Also, show him your Palmetto. He's got a sick Palmetto T-shirt on. Show him your Palmetto T-shirt.

No, face the camera, dummy. Okay, there you go. You look good. Oh, that is. Since 1892. Wow. Yep. It's almost as old as this bedroom.

You all made me for a podcast? Not probably not your other podcast. I told him, hey, credit to me. I told him I didn't want to bother you because this is your time away. Yeah. Time away. Yep. Frankie, I'll give you one question.

Yeah, give it to me. All right, let's go. Oh, okay. So Riggs actually got eye surgery. He said it would be better at shooting things. He said it would help him to like skeet shooting. Do you think that everything that he's done for his eyes and his surgery has helped him shooting and hunting since you guys are on a hunting trip right now? The most unapplicatic thing I've ever seen Rigg was shoulder a shotgun today.

the most unathletic thing I've ever seen. I said, Riggs, there's a dove right there. And there was a dove 20 feet from him. And he swung his gun the most unathletic way I've ever seen and then pointed it at the dove that was 400 yards away and then fired. I was like, how about the one that was 20 feet? You didn't like that one?

You know, like that one? That wasn't good enough, huh? You want to try to shoot the one that was 400 yards away. So a small, small sample size, but so far, we have no evidence to support any progress on the surgery versus shooting still. All right. Thanks, guys. That's great.

That was a nice little catching with Kevin Kisner. That was a really good addition right there. Again, I will say I got in front of that story and I said that I was so nervous with a shotgun that it didn't look good. But again, how am I supposed to look confident with a shotgun? Like, it's a shock. I'm with you, Rick, by the way. Like, I would be so bad at that. Yeah, I was shooting at the clouds.

I was like, just don't hit another human. Who cares if we hit a bird or not? I'm going to fuck about hitting a bird. And then my dad's like, hey, literally he's doing the aim small, miss small thing. He's like, look him like, look him right in the eye. And I was like, I'm, what do you mean? It's a dove. Like, do you think you're a disappointment to your dad when you go, when you go on thing?

Oh, your dad's a fucking pro. I mean, if I went out, if my dad was a pro, if my dad was a pro fucking hunter, I would disappoint him out there. There's no doubt about it. I don't think I'm a disappointment. It's very clear. I'm the disappointing link in the entire thing. Is your brother significantly better at you at hunting?

It's not even close. My brother's a huge fisherman. He's got waiters in his basement. He's got, he identifies his own flies when he goes fly. Totally. And then here I come. Like, I can't even. Big city boy.

They call me the city slicker. Like, I don't, I'm not even a New York guy. I don't really fit it anywhere. It's like, I don't, you know. And then my dad roast me for moving to Scottsdale. Like calls me a pussy basically for like moving to Scottsdale. So, so yeah, I'm a huge disappointment. It's not even close.

No, no, it's honestly, it reminds me of like a Vince Vaughn movie where it's like the kid that went golfing all year, the state of Pioneers is like showing up with the dad, waiting. through the water, killing fucking doves. It's like, I don't know. I worked on my wedge game all year. I didn't really learn how to like shoot.

You need to be prepared for something in the future and it's this. It's that you are going to be uninvited from this trip and your dad's going to go and Kizzer's going to go and your brother's going to go and you're going to hear about it and you're going to be like, wait, where are you guys going on that hunting trip with Kevin?

And you're like, well, where's my invite? And then they're just going to go silent. Your dad probably doesn't text, but he will be on a group text with Kevin Kisner next year about this next trip and you will be left off it. There's no doubt about it. Like my goal is to be irreplaceable because I'm the glue guy. But I, in no way do I bring like the, I don't bring any skilled to the hunting. I don't, you know, I'm like, I'm actually a problem because people have to like waste their vacation time helping me hunt and like they don't want to do that.

So I think kids like hired guides to like probably help. people like me. But yeah, I don't know, there's, you know, there might be some things in my life. My dad's proud of me about this is when he's not one of them. No, this is his domain and you just don't, you don't check the boxes. It's like. Yeah, you don't stack up. Yeah, there's other things that you do well, but this is just not one of them.

And he has to accept that or maybe he doesn't. Maybe he doesn't accept that. And that's something that he just like moves to your brother on. He's just like, you know what? You know, Sam just sucks at this. And like, we just have to accept it. Like that's, you know what? too like I know at the far right he's got like he goes up to the farm and up at the farm like all

his buddies kids are probably like just sharpshooters you put a shotgun in their hands like they're just hip firing and they can just knock a fucking a quail out of the sky from a hundred yards away no problem here comes me like you give me a dove which a dove is basically a fucking fake bird floating in front of your face everyone ducks oh here comes rigs Paul! It's like, oh, everyone ducks, everyone jumps into a fucking bunker when fucking rakes, fucking unleashes that shotgun. It's a mess. Dude, it's embarrassing. I suck. I got, I fuck. I would suck too, though. I mean, I... But like, if, if, to make you feel better, I bet everybody on this podcast is probably a disappointment to their dad. We're a joke. We're an absolute joke when it comes to wilderness. And I give a lot of people on this pod, like the people that listen to this podcast, we probably have a lot of wilderness people that listen to this.

I give you a ton of credit that you're able to go out. Like, if I lived in the fucking 1300s, I mean, I don't even know if that's the right era to fucking start talking about. But, like, I wouldn't know how to, like, survive or, like, make food for myself and stuff. Like, I just don't know how to, I don't know how to, like, shoot things. Did they have guns in the 1300s? I don't know. I think it was too early.

But how about this? Too early. Yeah. It was a real embarrassing moment today. So we sit down on the field and we're, you know, like, the whole, it's already. I'm already starting behind the eight ball. I know my dad's looking at me like, God, can he actually do it this time? Probably not.

And then, you know, we get the guns loaded. We're fucking sitting there. I'm like, where's these birds? I'm going to fucking knock him out of the sky. Let's go trying to talk lingo and all the shit. And then, you know, my dad looks and he goes, you know, actually I can tell there's a couple that coming out of the north right over there. And I said right away, I go, you knew that I was just north?

That's amazing. And then they were like the sun's setting. Like, it's just the sun just sets in the wet. It's just right there. Oh. And I was like, yeah, no, that sounds really sweet. But like I just, as a, I'm more of an indoor guy.

And to me, if someone can just point in a direction to be like, that's north, that's pretty amazing. We had this kid on my baseball team. He was a Boy Scout. His name was Luke. Shout out Luke Carrick. What a name to shout out on my golf podcast. But he used to fucking tell what time it was during the baseball practice

by putting up fingers towards the horizon. So each finger was an hour based off of when the sun's supposed to set, right? So if the sun sets at 7 o'clock and he could fit three hours in, it was 4 o'clock. It was fucking assonine. And he would be fucking to the minute,

to the minute what time it was by looking at the sun. I'd be like, Luke, hey Luke, what time is he'd be like, 437? I'd beg, you fucking nerd. Are you fucking kidding me? Are you? Are you fucking kidding me?

It's 437. I like to think that he was doing this, and then he just had a wristwawk on the inside. No, dude, he knew the fucking fingers to the horizon and the sun. And he fucking knew like, uh, you know what? It's 438. I'm like, are you fistful? I mean, it just turned 438.

I had my phone out. It was crazy. That is impressive. Nature people are nuts. Also, like, not needed in this world. It is what I mean like I just look at my phone But I get it everyone enjoys it It's the way that we all grew up like

As we're like in the fucking 1800s, 9 times whatever it is But I can just look at my phone and see what time it is I don't need to look at my fingers But I guess that's like the soft Millennial version of me I don't know I'm sure people hate that You look at your phone yeah I don't know

I have an iPhone 12 I don't like it is what it is It's honestly frankly This is the fight I've been fighting the whole goddamn trip And I'm sorry it's like From jrown. Georgia. They're from South Carolina. They're from Missouri. You don't need a phone. Like, yeah, I actually do need a phone.

And I can just tell me what time it is. Like, we were texting each other about when to do this podcast. And kids yells over from across the field with a shotgun in his hand and a dip in his mouth and a beer in his hand. And he goes, Riggs, I said no cell phones on the whole trip. And I'm like, I, you know, I just have to be like, I'm on my cell phone. Yeah. Yeah, sorry, kids. We're just not like, we don't live in that world.

Like, we just need a phone like our phones. guy just going to be on my phone. Now, I'm not going to hopefully be on my phone the whole time, but right now I'm on my fucking phone, and you're just going to have to deal with it. It's like, I don't know. It's just like,

it's just like, it's just like, that's just how it is. That's what we're doing. Most guys, by the way, have tried different ways to last longer. Yeah.

Think about rigs trying to kill a duck might not work every time. Or Trent's fucking facial hair. Taking shots. That's not great. It's really not good right now. You know what? The only reason I brought that was because it's more prominent today.

Is it a little darker? Are you letting it go a little more? No, this is how it always is for the most part. I mean, I've never been in the podcast this room before, so the lighting's probably different. That's the lighting. It is the lighting. Also, your laptop is just shining off your glasses right now.

I hate that. I really hate that. Your facial hair is more prominent today, and it's definitely not going to help me last longer. Yeah. No, it shouldn't. But luckily, the folks at Roman, an online men's health company,

are changing the game with Roman swipes, which is the secret to longer lasting sex. Roman swipes straight clinically proven way to last longer in bed. They are effective. They're easy to use. They're fast acting. They do not require a prescription. Having sex is cool.

You want it to last longer because that's even cooler. It's pleasurable. It's fun. You're doing the whole thing. Hopefully she's enjoying it or whoever and you're enjoying it. And guess what? You don't want it to end very quickly because that stinks. So you want it to last longer.

Roman is your answer. They're easy to use. You take the swipes out of the packet. it swipe them on let it dry and you are good to go that is it go to get roman dot com slash four you can get your first month of swipes for just five bucks when you use a monthly plan that's get roman com slash four once again go to get roman dot com slash four get your first month of swipes for just five dollars uh okay boys i don't know how long we've been going here but i got a whole house over there that's ready to lose and to hang and to do them thing we're on vacation hey by the way i

I think I actually, and this is a weird thing. I don't know if this is ever, I'm a little younger than you guys, but I think my, my palate- You got at us right there or no? Maybe you guys went through this at my age. I'm 27, and my palate has just changed where I accept and enjoy wine.

And I swear to God, I swear to God, it happened like this week. Like, I started drinking wine, like a buddy's house, and I was like, wow, I kind of enjoy it. And I went to a restaurant, had it again.

I was like, holy fuck. Like, I actually enjoy the taste. It's not just like a cultural thing to just get through like the night and drink wine. Then I had it again the next day. I was like, all right, if I keep doing this, I'm an alcoholic, but I'm trying to at least enjoy it. Dude, I'm starting to like the taste of wine. And it's,

I'm waking up with less hangovers as opposed to drinking like shit beer. Like, it's, it's, I don't know. My palate just changed. It's weird. I'll say that I think. than it might be an age thing because looking back on my own experience through college and through my early 20 years like post college, it was just a get through it and do it thing. Don't be a weird guy that doesn't drink wine.

And I didn't hate it. But it was essentially more or less a non-taste. It was just like it's just there. I'm going to drink it. Liquid. It's fine. Whatever everybody's doing it. I have gotten to the point now where I do genuinely, and it's probably been four or five years, genuinely enjoy wine. Now, do I know that much about the difference between X, Y, or Z wine?

No, but I will say that if you put this glass that I've been sipping on, this fucking thing, kids put this in front of us like an hour and a half ago. And he said, and, you know, the first person took a sip. I think it was due. And he goes, oh, boy, what is that? Kids like, yeah, I didn't short you guys. I opened a nice bottle. And when you take a sip of this puppy, you can tell.

You might not be able to tell why. You not be able to tell the science, the grapes, the bullshit. But it's just fucking good. And it's refreshing. and it pairs with it. And that is, I think, an age thing. Because for me, like I said, for years, I was just like, I'll drink the wine.

I don't dislike it, but I'm not that into it. Now I'm 30 fucking three. I'm about to be 34. Wine is is primo, as they said. Yeah, man, it's something that, you know, I've had the last week or two and I've enjoyed. And I'm sorry to say, and I have to admit this, I talked about filet mignon in the last episode,

and I said I was never going to eat another. another filet at another restaurant again. I was going to only going to New York strip. I've had two filets since the last podcast. And I said I wasn't going to have filet anymore. And I keep getting fucking suckered into these filet mignon at restaurants and all these places that I eat. I have one at my house.

It's just like I need to start eating New York strips. And and pairing them with the right wine. I'm starting to gain a palette. I know Trent wants to fucking jump off a roof right now talking about pallets and wines. and I feel like Trent's just not about that life, which is fine. Trent, I agree. Like, I want to go back to that fucking soda pop bearer. I want to be able to drink soda pop.

I'm enjoying wine right now. I don't know what it is. Like, I had wine yesterday instead of a fucking Coca-Cola, which to me was stunning, but I genuinely ordered a cabernet Sauvignon. And I was like, you know what? I fucking liked this. It actually tasted good, just like a Dr. Pepper tastes good. Like, I enjoyed the taste of it.

I enjoyed it. What happened to that guy I sat in an airport with where our flight got delayed for six hours. We sat at Applebee's. I can't even remember what airport it was. There was some airport. I don't remember. You and I Chicago or something, yeah. And we sat at that Applebee's and drank Coca-Cola after Coca-Cola after Coca-Cola.

Dude, we barely got on the flight. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. We had nine Coca-Cola each at this Chili's. I was like, if you give me one more Coca-Cola, I'm going straight into a hospital bed. and I'm getting structured out of here because my heart's going to explode on the spot. That was before the whoop era. We couldn't check your heart rate. No, I think that's part of...

Two percent today. I woke up at two percent. Ooh. We! No, I like a good... I like a good piece of meat, and I have largely avoided a wine because... I do have a good piece of meat, don't you? I'll shove this meat on your fucking throat, you fucking mini boy.

Because the hangovers were so bad, and then people would always tell you how bad wine hangovers are. so I would avoid it for the most part. But no, I think, yeah, I think it's part of growing up. Your pallets changing. Oddly, I've had less hangovers with the wine. That is weird because I will say like I, if I drink a little bit of wine, I don't necessarily get up. But if I drink a lot of wine, like I get fucking super hungover.

I haven't gotten home. I get more hungover when I drink like Mickalo Bolter's or something. The biggest hangover I've had in the last like six months was when I went over to fucking Max's house, Max Homa's house last Friday, like I told you guys about. So I guess a week and a half ago. And he just, he texts because Scottsdale's a fantasy land. Everybody lives next to you. Text me.

He's like, hey, me and Lacey, who's his wife, beautiful wife. They're like, hey, we're on our way home from dinner. Do you want to come by and just drink a little bit of wine? I was like, yeah, absolutely. So I went over a broad bottle of wine. We drank like three or four bottles of wine, me, him and his wife. I had to sleep on their bed and woke up in a fucking cold. I was like, dude, what happened last night?

He's like wine, dude. Like wine gets you so. So the fact that you haven't been that hungover, like we couldn't, I couldn't breathe for like two days after drinking that much wine. You know what gets me fucked up? And this is if we're going to end it. And you know what?

I'm giving up my fucking million dollar idea for whoever wants to listen to this. This is it. You know what? I've come to the conclusion. I'm never going to make this game. So who gives a fuck? I'm just going to say it on this podcast for thousands of people. It's,

yeah, my eyes game is a great show. This thing's called Shotsie. All right? It's a Yatzi. It's a game of Yatzi that I've created and it's called Shotsie. All right. And I played it the other night and I got absolutely fucking shit-based. And basically it's Yatsi, but every category.

So like you roll a Yatze and everyone that you're playing with has to take a shot. If you are playing Yatze and you miss a category at the end and you have to cross something off, you take a shot. If you miss the bonus in Yatze, you have to take a shot. If you roll a one in your one column, you have to take a shot. So there's all these scenarios that I've made up that you have to take a shot. So we have the bottle in the middle of the table and you're pouring shots every time. When you get a Yatzy, I mean, it is, it's like the Islanders just won the Stanley Cup. People go fucking crazy.

Like, no! Like you're finally rolling that last six and you go fucking crazy. And when I'm thinking for like branding, whoever wants to steal this idea, go ahead and make it. I don't give a fuck at this point. you know the shaker that you put the dice in make that a drink shaker like a mixer shaker right you know I'm talking about like instead of it being a little cup making a fucking shaker and instead of dice make the dice look like ice cubes so the ice cubes are coming out of the shaker and make your little fucking packet that you write your fucking scores on a martini glass you know what I mean I feel like

I'm talking like uh um I think I'm talking like a bar rescue you know what I mean John Taffer I feel like I'm speaking a million dollar idea here and no one's fucking grasping it. Shotsie. What a name. What a name. Are you nervous? You just gave away your best idea you ever had? Riggs, I don't have the time or the willpower to make.

I'm not working with Hasbro. Go make your own game. I'll gladly buy it. I gave you the free idea. Send me a gift card so I can buy it for free. Whoever wants to make this game, go ahead and do it. It's called Shotsie. I've created it.

So maybe one day down the road, I can sue you, whoever makes this. I've made this in my own fucking head. It's called Shotsie. And you don't own the idea. I own the idea. You can make the game. I'm going to sue you one day. So now we have that on the record.

You make the fucking, when you roll the dice, it comes out of a shot thing, out of a mixer. I'm telling you, it's a home run. It's a home run. Shotsie. I like it. I like it, too. I think it's a great idea. I can tell them that you probably.

you've probably said that to a few people and given your spiel and it feels good. So I'm glad that you did it on this show. Thank you. Um, okay. We'll be back. I believe this show went out Monday. We're doing a Monday Wednesday release again so that folks that are traveling that are off on New Year's Eve,

New Year's Day, uh, have a little bit more time to listen to the show. So we will in theory be back on Wednesday. All I'm doing between now and then is the same shit that I talked about where I'm hunting and fishing and doing all the shit that I'm not good at. My dad's very embarrassed about, um, for me. Disappointed. Yeah. Sorry, disappointed.

So we'll see how that goes. Hopefully we'll be back Wednesday to update folks. Thank you for listening. Everybody has a happy. I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Even if, you know, we talked about even if Christmas isn't your thing. I hope that on the 25th of December, you had a merry day and a married day. And we hope that you have a great New Year's and New Year's week.

We'll be back on Wednesday. Thank you for listening. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.
