Starting point is 00:00:26 Yeah, I think it sounds great. Well, it's like, it's okay for, um, like audio purposes, like people can hear you. It's just like it's way off. You're on like a four of your voice scale. I think it's a voice of a man who's done a lot of traveling and we've been working and it's just a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:38 It's worn down voice. I think I think it's acceptable. I think that one of the four would be broken down at this point. I just didn't know it would be rigs. I'm broken down voice. Yeah. I don't think there's any down about that. I mean, you can hear it.
Starting point is 00:00:51 You can hear that it's broken down. Look, travel, President's Cup, playing golf in Australia, Australian sandbelt golf. Hero World Challenge, Patrick Reed and cheating.

Starting point is 00:02:28 nothing we have been told by multiple people of good source that we will not see a kangaroo unless we go and seek them yes they are not squirrels right of the states
Starting point is 00:02:42 I think they are in other areas if you live in like rural areas or from what I've seen I've done my kangaroo searching because I don't think I can come to Australia I don't know if I'll ever come back not saying that it's not a great place I'm pretty like hyped
Starting point is 00:02:53 and pumped to be here it's an awesome place we're literally around the world right now when you go on your snap map and you look on Snapchat like sometimes there's just pop up and you just see all your friends on the other side of the world it's a real fucking weird you know what I haven't done the snap map but in a really really long time it's hilarious I just like pulled it down the other day and I just saw all my friends
Starting point is 00:03:11 just in a little and just all just in a little bubble around the United States and we're just on the other side of the earth but yeah I think I need to see a kangaroo I don't know if I can leave here without doing the thing we've only been here today you come to Australia you do the thing I've only been here two days but what I will say is before we came out here, the number one thing all of us kept getting tagging were videos of kangaroos attacking people, spiders attacking people, snakes attacking people.
Starting point is 00:03:35 And to be honest, we haven't gotten a taste of any of it. Australia is also a majorly big country. What did you say? City, you were about to say city there? Yeah, I was about to say city. It's a big place. It's massive. It's about the size of the U.S.
Starting point is 00:03:48 continental U.S. I think when we were flying here, I think we went over Sydney and we still had like another hour flying, maybe an hour and a half. half to get to Melbourne. Dude, I met a fan today from Perth. His name was Travis. I was like, oh, what's that flight? He's like $5.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah. It's like, what? We put the map of Australia over the United States and it was essentially the same thing. Just minus like maybe a little bit of California and Florida, but it went like even higher and lower. So I mean, it's basically the same side. It's like flying. East the West. It's identical.
Starting point is 00:04:19 It's like Florida. It's like the lower 40. So the big question going in was how would everybody handle the flight? 23 hours. Is that our total? 22, 23 hours? 22 and 23. So what people need to realize is we went about 5.5 to 6 hour flight from New York to L.A. We had an hour layover. We were delayed by like 30 minutes.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It actually made it pretty fucking dicey. But then we had a 16 hour flight from L.A. to Melbourne. I didn't think it was that bad. I thought it went by pretty quickly. Yeah, this was going to sound crazy because I think we talked about it on the show a couple weeks before we left. everyone voted that I was probably going to have the biggest trouble on the flight. And I thought it was pretty simple. And the reason it was, one, right off the bat, the seat next me was open.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Huge. When that happened, I almost broke into tears. And I'm not even kidding. That was so huge because the plane's filling up. Everybody's coming on. And I was the first one in my row. You don't have to be sad tears? No, they're not sad tears.
Starting point is 00:05:18 They would have been happy tears. But I'm not. You know what tears you should have done in the pursuit of happiness, Will Smith walking through the street? That's like proud tears. Just like he's like smacking his hands. He's smacking his lips together and he's crying and he does that little thing. I was the first person in my row.
Starting point is 00:05:34 So you're always hoping like, all right, people are walking by. And there's more walk by. Like, this could really happen. And then a lady sat not to my direct directly next to me, but a little bit over. I was like, okay. Maybe if we have the seat open, we'll be okay. And then when they close that door and they're like, we are done boarding, you had it as well, Frankie. I did too.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And lurch. The only one who didn't have it was rigs. Yep. No, I had a lady next to me who was an Australian local. She paid $2,700 for her ticket because she missed her flight the day before. Oh. And she said to us in our row, we had a little camaraderie. We had team bathroom breaks, which was nice.
Starting point is 00:06:12 What does that mean? You have to work in a team. Your row has to work in a team. You have to. Out of respect, especially if your window seat? Essentially, I was window seat about, I slept for the first five to six hours of the flight, woke up, hadn't pissed, obviously, because I've been sleeping, look over to my left, both zonked out, whole plane, dark, everybody's asleep.
Starting point is 00:06:32 People in my left are both asleep. So I'm looking there like, well, I can't fucking wake him up. So I went about two more hours at this point, and then aisle seat guy wakes up and I see him kind of moving. So then I start to kind of like Russell. You're like, you're trying to wake the middle person at this point, because you're trying to get on the same pitch. But without waking.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yeah, exactly. Right? You're trying to wake her respect him. I'm trying to wake her without her being able to trace it back to me. Right. Right. Yes. I'm turning my phone, brightness up. I'm like, I'm doing all kinds of stuff in my entertainment center. I'm turning on the light.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I'm doing all kinds of stuff. And essentially, are you okay, Andrew? I think my mic. I got my mic taken away and then I was giving back. I think that's okay. This is Mike good now? He said, hold it by the neck. That's the cord.
Starting point is 00:07:21 He said, hold it by the neck. Holy heck. All right. Trent Daddy. So I'm making a scene without making a scene, right? I'm trying to wake her with it. Exactly. So then I see her.
Starting point is 00:07:33 She's away. So they're both awake at the same time. So now I'm like, well, what do I? I got to do something. So I just, I can't let them both go to sleep. So again, I'm just kind of wrestling. My snacks, which are super loud. I'm fucking rustling my snacks.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Finally, after like a couple hours, the aisle guy gets up. So the minute he gets up, I say to the woman, to me. You almost push her out of the house. Since he's up, I'm going to go. And she's like, oh, I was thinking about moving my feet too or getting, you know, spreading my legs, whatever. And, um, spread my legs.
Starting point is 00:08:03 What the hell? Let's think about spreading my legs too. A ton of camaraderie on aisle 22nd. A ton of camaraderie. Spreading your legs. Spreading my wings. Stretching my legs. That's what I got.
Starting point is 00:08:15 I got those mixed up. So then we all went. We're all standing in line together at the bathroom. We all went one mile to the bathroom. And then later. in the trip with about an hour and a half, two hours left. The aisle guy was like thinking about another bathroom break. Like make it a little quip and we all got up and went again.
Starting point is 00:08:33 So we did team bathroom break. That's correct. Yeah, yeah, the two things. So having no one next to me and then basically an extension of that is I was able to sleep the first seven and a half hours of the flight, which is incredible because I'm not able to sleep on flight. You're not a plane sleep at all? It just doesn't happen at all.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I just sit there. Riggs, we've traveled a lot together and he's just able to sleep. As soon as we get on the plane, Riggs will fall asleep as soon as he land he wakes up. It's really, it's a talent. It is. And I'm not, I don't have that talent. God given.
Starting point is 00:09:02 But as soon, for whatever reason, my body was like, we have to do this. Yeah, but just to be on the opposite side of that, like, it's still a long fucking flight. And even if you're sleeping, you're not really sleeping. I sound large. You're sitting in a chair. Riggs, I looked over at you. You look in the most uncomfortable position I've ever seen in my entire. Doesn't affect me.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Your kid is inside your armpit. And you're just like this. I know, but like, that's like uncomfortable sleep. I don't know. I'm not comfortable by three. It's not good hours of sleep. It's not good hours of sleep. Like you're waking up every hour and then you go back to sleep and then like you see something.
Starting point is 00:09:33 It's like it's kind of in and out. For as long as we've been in Australia, I can't believe we've only had one night of rest here. Yeah. Doesn't it seem like we've been in Australia more than one night's sleep? I was saying to somebody, it's a wild point. When I looked around a plane at one of the times when it was all dark and everybody's sleeping, the way people sleep on planes, it looks like they were involved in a mobhead. It looks like they got, they were at dinner. A bunch of heads down.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Just a bunch of heads like in weird directions. Dude, it's a long flight and if you can sleep, you can sleep. But, I mean, when seven and a half hours I got through. Yeah, that's a long time. I started a time. I'm denying that when you get to hour 11 and you have five more hours to go, like, that's a long fucking flight. Like, there was a couple times I got a little bit of anxiety where I was just like, okay. Like, we got to get here now.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I can't believe because you start to go over these like barrier islands just off Australia. and we were facing, I think it said, like, a hundred mile an hour headwin at one point. 104. It felt like those last five hours took forever. I'm here to tell you that that plane ride was a piece of cake. I think it was easy, too. I can't agree more. It is long.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I mean, there's no doubt. I hope you can't sleep a lick on the way home. That was a birthday cake flight. That's rude, though. I'm going to go back on their side. That's me. Again, I think I talked it up in my head so much, like, this is going to be the worst experience of your life that when I was, when I was able to sleep for almost a half of it, then it was just
Starting point is 00:10:53 easy sand on the rest of the way. I watched a New Hope, Star Wars, and then I, you know, I think I fell asleep again a little bit after that. I think I slept a total of 10 hours, and then the rest of it is just sort of maintenance. How do you say the Brad Pitt Space Movie? Ad Astra. Awful movie. I don't agree with you guys.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I was in my seven movies that I watched. I don't think it's a great movie. I think you just get through it. I think it's an entertaining movie. And the way I explained it to you, Riggs, because you said that it was an awful movie. I said the entire time you had to know what the ending was. And I think that that makes it an entertaining movie. Now, there's a big difference between a awful movie
Starting point is 00:11:29 and a movie that I will absolutely watch and would watch again. And this is a movie I would watch it again. Like, you got to get through it. You can't turn it off because you're in, like, is he going to go to fucking Neptune? You're going to see his dad against dad alive? They set up, like, the ending in the first 20 minutes and you just like are sitting there for an hour and a half
Starting point is 00:11:46 just being like, all right, well, now I need to know how it ends. But there are a lot of movies that like are, that suck, but like, I enjoy them. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like day after tomorrow or something like that. That's an awful movie.
Starting point is 00:11:58 But, like, watching it is actually phenomenal. Yeah. It's like very enjoying. A lot of these space movies. I'm just an awful and I'm not watching that movie. A lot of these space movies are all the same. Like, even the one with George Clooney and, um, who are that? Gravity.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Gravity. Like, that movie kind of stunk, too, but like you had to watch it. They, they were just two people in space and nothing happens the entire movie. You know what one's really good? Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock. The Martian. That was good.
Starting point is 00:12:22 That's a great movie. That was great. That was nominated for best comedy that year. You know that? Yeah. Yeah. So, because they wanted to put it in for a category they could win.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I think that, I think the Martian is my number one Sunday movie. Dude, it's so good. You know why? Number one's high, but that's, Trent,
Starting point is 00:12:36 I'm going to give you five seconds to walk that back. It's your number one Sunday movie. And he's smirking. He knows that's wrong. He knows that's wrong. The Martian, you want that on your name when you die on that plane right home to New York. You want that on your name.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Either that or it's the... Either that or it's the switch up with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. Martians, your number one movie. What's yours tough guy? Whoa. I don't know that there's a movie I can just throw out there. I'd have to sit there and think about it. And at least I can own up to something.
Starting point is 00:13:11 The Martian is a great, great movie. I've called you a coward like eight times this trip. I'm not sure why. You know a coward when I wanted to travel around the world. World Ball. We just got off a plane. We went straight to a golf course and I duck hooked to my drive. Didn't even, didn't even see what happened. And I said, oh, around the world ball. And Trent's like, Trent smoked one down the middle and goes, you're a coward. So I didn't take it. So I didn't take it. You just, I bullied you. I bullied you. The Martian is my number one Sunday movie. No doubt about it.
Starting point is 00:13:43 What makes the Martian different is that there's, it's, it's for, first of all, that Damon is such a likable character in that. Like his ability to take that situation, which is the worst in the world. They left you on a different planet. Literally. Like that's not a metaphor. They left you on a little planet.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And it mixes in a ton of legitimate knowledge. Like, it's fascinating hear him talk about solving actual problems with real science. Whether that science is accurate or not. Like, what is it, botany where he's making all the fucking food. He's a botanist.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Botanist. And then he's got to figure out how to like get the Morris code and the science. and the signal back to the earth because he knows what cameras they'll check and what satellites will be like right that keeps your brain firing where you're like oh oh shit oh shit
Starting point is 00:14:29 and all that combined it's just it's a phenomenal fucking man I don't know my number one's not even the same class as ad Astra at Astra all right whatever well we got through the flight that's all that matters made it through flight also I got a credit whatever hero out there to read it at me that masters dot com finally put up the full final round
Starting point is 00:14:50 of 2019 Masters Yeah saved my life And it was going on At the same time As the Hero World Challenge Final round But we couldn't live stream
Starting point is 00:14:58 Out of the plane But for whatever reason I could stream Masters.com Final round Six hours I didn't want it to end I didn't want the flight to end
Starting point is 00:15:07 It just Especially it starts like 20 minutes I think I got that good streaming service up there What's up? What's up? Good Wi-Fi?
Starting point is 00:15:15 It was crazy I couldn't stream anything else I could only stream that It was like the plane Was such a pro-Tiger trip player that I could just treat that. And it was doing that thing where it was going in and out between fuzzy
Starting point is 00:15:26 and like perfect HD. But that's fine. Yeah. I don't care. And just reliving it and like, what I didn't realize was, or what I had forgotten, is like, it legit never looked like Tiger was going to win the tournament until Molonari hit in the water on 12. Like it just, it wasn't even close. Like, Monari
Starting point is 00:15:42 Tiger bogey's 10, hits his drive way right on 11. Molanari's getting up and down from everywhere. He's making every punt. You're thinking like, he had been invincible for months. For like a year. Oh yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:53 And you're thinking like, this is just over. Tiger's two shots packed. DJ's right there. Brooks is right there. And Molanari just won't make a mistake. Like there's, Tiger was like an afterthought. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Molinari had already proved that he can stare down Tiger's like throat and basically just be like this is my tournament. Yeah. He's like he's doing it again. Yeah. At Coton. Yeah. There was a moment I think when we said is like,
Starting point is 00:16:13 Molinari going to be Tiger's like biggest villain now for like the rest of his career. Like a Molinari owned Tiger Woods. Yeah. Is that like his Achilles? is this fucking Italian guy. This guy who just laughs around, has a little bit of swag walk. It's also funny to watch him do because they do the whole, there's only 150,000 golfers in all of Italy,
Starting point is 00:16:30 and they've got this leader who's going to win the man. And then he just collapses. Yep. And he hits two in the whirling wins. It was awesome to watch. So that hero, he saved my whole flight. Thank you so much. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:42 We lay in Australia. We got a lot going on this week. Like I said, we're playing golf. We're covering the President's Cup. We've got credentials. We're working with the PGA tour. They run the President's Cup. You can follow along all week at ForeplayPilot on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:16:56 on Twitter, and putting up videos, photos, live coverage of our rounds, of all kinds of stuff that's going on. We land in Australia. We pretty much go straight to the golf course. By the time we get the car, rental car, which I'm driving, which turns out the steering wheels on the right side of the car
Starting point is 00:17:14 and you drive on the left side of the road. Terrifying. Almost killed everybody, what, three times? Yep. Dude, at least. It was taking a little bit too long for you to get adjusted. I was getting nervous. And, like, I don't think I could drive.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I don't think I have the mental capacity. It's because, like, there were some moments where I was like, man, I definitely would have hug that corner and turn right, right into that traffic. Right. It's turning, right? And, like, turning into the right way of direction. Yep. Because it's, obviously, it takes a little bit to get it.
Starting point is 00:17:38 To left turns, you're hugging the corner. You hug. Right. You don't leave the curve on the left turn. From the other side of the car. A right turn, it's so tempting to just go into oncoming traffic. Right. It's so tempting
Starting point is 00:17:51 You just can't do it This is dumb American of me And I think like America just runs the world Which like a lot of stuff we do does But like to me I said this to you guys I think that there has to be more head on collisions In countries in which the The driving is on the left side
Starting point is 00:18:07 Like we're doing right here in Australia As opposed to in America I just like I think that people just get used To the way we drive when they come here for some reason Like I think it's harder for people to learn on the fly what we're doing in Australia than it is in America for some reason. I know we're used to it and that's the reason why I feel that way.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I just think like, I just think like any tourists that would come to these other countries. Like, I think Americans are more, I think Americans are more like the odds are that we're going to turn into traffic more. You know this happens in Europe, though, so like, Scotland is the set of the exact same. Like when we're in America,
Starting point is 00:18:40 like we're not thinking that Europeans are going to be flying down the highway at the wrong way, ever. It's never on my mind. But I feel like that's something on their mind here. Right? Do you guys think that way or no? Like that's like something that they're conscious of that like oh there's that American that's going to drive the wrong way Like like rigs went the wrong way down a street I literally was just driving down The wrong way like when does that happen?
Starting point is 00:19:01 You ever see that happening ever in America had no point is like if I had somebody coming at me I'd be like there's a European person never you would never be like look at the euro They'd be like they just this psych is this psycho like going like murder suicide and everyone? What's going on here? Yeah that was me Yeah. I just went into what is usually the right. There's that American, like on his way to McDonald's, which we had today. We did, yeah. I went to some good Australian meat, you know, meal.
Starting point is 00:19:28 It tastes the same. Yeah. I said to him, I said to Trent, I said, McDonald's just slaps the same way. It doesn't slap different. That's the beauty of McDonald's, I think. No matter where you put it, it's always good. And what the fuck is customary to Australian food? Like, what is Australian food?
Starting point is 00:19:42 Alpack? Nice. I don't know. steak? I guess. I think the meat's here are really good. Yeah. Australia has very good red wine.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Yeah. Interesting. Shout out yellow tail. No free ads. None. But that's, it's delicious. My mom drinks yellow tail. Like when you think of Australia, what do you, do, does any sort of like food come to mind?
Starting point is 00:20:00 No. Yeah. Shrimp all in the bobby. Right. Except like stereotypical stuff. Like kebabs. Yeah, right. Can we talk about Christmas in Australia?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah. I'd love to. So we all understand. And if you don't back home, it's summertime in Australia. right now. It was 98 degrees today. 99 at 1 point. Oh, 98 degrees on my phone. Shout to 98 degrees. 101.
Starting point is 00:20:23 1.0. Leche. Yeah, I'm trying to think of what. It was 101 on Transphone. It's the middle of summer here. I mean, it gets dark at 8.45 p.m. Something like that. It's the longest days. It's the middle of summer. How does that song go?
Starting point is 00:20:37 I do. I was thinking, I like girls that wherever cry me a fish. I can't even have one wish. And she'll be back for that summer the summer is that them that's them that's 98 degrees i think so i don't think so i don't think that's them oh all right many degrees sounds different i feel like than that song this is their number one song that's that's that's turn that all that's nicklechette right there
Starting point is 00:21:04 cincinnati's i used to watch um i used to watch the nicholet and uh just a consumption show oh boy that's chicken of the sea that was that was still early in like the reality tv days too she she Very. Chicken to sea. She thought it was chicken. Right. Tuna because tuna's the chicken to the sea. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:21:22 So Christmas in Australia. It's the middle of summertime. Yet, the first sign that we saw was like, Merry Christmas, and it just had snow all around the side. That's right. There, people that decorate their homes have, like, snowmen on their roofs. It's fucking summertime. Who says rough like that? What do you say?
Starting point is 00:21:47 roof. The roof. The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire. It's like doggy daycare or something. By the way, by the way,
Starting point is 00:21:56 it's LFO that's six of that. I was so confident that all those white boy bands other than insane and backstreet, they all just blend together. David Blaine put me on the roof. You know that clip? No. He put me on the roof.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Fucking Andrew knows that. He's laughing at the rough. We do this every time. I know. You guys make me go rough. The clip of... Like a dog. You guys make me go rough rough, rough like a dog.
Starting point is 00:22:21 You sit back. We do this song and dance every time. David Blaine, it's like a early 2000s internet video, like that was on E-Bomb's world. And it's this guy, this guy's imitating David Blaine. And all of a sudden, he's just like, you know, David Blaine will do something and look into the camera. Oh, yeah. So the guy would do something and he'd put the guy, he'd levitate the guy onto the roof. Like, oh my God, David Blaine put me on the roof.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And David Blaine's just staring in the camera. Like, it's very funny. All right. I want to check that up. So Christmas is weird here. It's different. It doesn't make sense. But I get it.
Starting point is 00:22:51 We're trying to think about where that comes from. Like, where does it come from that they associate Christmas here with just winter? Like, how is it not evolved to where it's just summer? It's a summer holiday. How is Santa not on a fucking surfboard with his... Coming in with presents. Right. With the toys or something.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Why is he in a sleigh? You had a good point about Europeans. It could have been made up, but it seemed correct what you said in the car about it. Where St. Nick and Santa originated in Europe, this was a lot of. this was like a colony where people came or whatever and then it just stuck I mean that's as good a lot I kind of made that up on the fly yeah but Trent was nodded his head like that's a great there's got to be something like the marketing of it right like there's got to be like like the old time just like somewhere somehow like books were written about just like Santa Claus giving
Starting point is 00:23:36 gifts coming on a sleigh with his reindeer like it's had to be our Australians driving around in their car listening to like winter wonderland yes I think I heard I heard Christmas music. Probably. I heard Christmas music. I heard it. I heard Christmas. Where were we today?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Probably. That's crazy town. That is. It's not how's Santa gonna land a slate on top of your roof? Degrees out. It's gonna go skidding. I think the place where we all bought water is on the walk over. I swear I think the song was playing let it snow.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah, it was somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. So they just fully embrace it despite the weather being the complete opposite. Quick test for you guys. Okay. Sure. How many Celsius is 100 in 1 degrees?
Starting point is 00:24:10 32. 32. Wrong. How many, say it again? How many Celsius? What is 100? 101 degrees in Celsius. Oh,
Starting point is 00:24:20 fucking, um, 35? Uh, uh, did you ask a question and I know the answer? 25. No,
Starting point is 00:24:28 I was just, I came up with the thought I was testing. So I think it's 48. What's the 30? They said, they said, you take Celsius multiplied by two and add 15. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:40 That's what they said? The pro shups. I didn't get. Or was it at 30? Oh, was 32. 30. It was at 30. 0.
Starting point is 00:24:46 So then it'd be 30. 30. 35 Celsius Yeah Yeah you double it and add 30 And that's how you do it Lady in the pro shop at Kingston Heath told us that
Starting point is 00:24:58 We're like wow, that's amazing Is that right? Just say it out loud No Andrew's saying no What is it? I choose to believe the woman In the pro shop
Starting point is 00:25:08 I think that's a rule of thumb Because zero degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Fahrenheit That was my thing So I think it's close down 95 and it's rule of thumb And that's like an extreme It's never 101 degrees.
Starting point is 00:25:21 No, no, no, no. Right? So it would always be smaller. I choose to believe that sweet lady at the Kingston Heath Pro Shop. She was an angel. She had come from the bar to work the pro shop. I actually believe her name was Dale. What?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Dale? Yeah. Like Earnhardt? Yeah. Did she have an Adams apple? No, she was just a very sweet lady from, yeah, who usually works the bar and was working the pro shop. This cute lady named Dale had an Adam's apple and some really thick hand. No, she was great.
Starting point is 00:25:49 But soft. Don't, don't be rude to Dale. Yeah. She was an angel. Here we go. She's way nicer than you. The reason that we think of snow and ice at Christmas is probably down to the Victorians. Although Christmas has taken over from the pagan winter solstice festivals in Europe, it was also
Starting point is 00:26:05 Victorians who gave us our traditional Christmas in Europe and the USA. At the start of the Victorian era, 1837, Britain was in a mini ice age, and that was from about 1,500 to 1850. During this time in London, a winter fair was often held on the frozen river Thames. And they said one of the main reasons that Victorians put snow and Christmas together was because of the book A Christmas Carol, which was written in 1843 by Charles Dickens. So it actually is a combination. Did you say the ice age ended in 1850? I think it seems a little.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I was. I was tethered enough to the right story. I agree. To 1850. Yeah, Britain was just like cold for 300 years. I think it's River Thames. Or is it tames? I think it's tames.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I was going to say Thames. Because it looks like Thames. No, when I was there, I thought I thought it was Tames, but then I think that I was surprised that it's actually Thames. But I don't know for sure. That feels like one of those things. Yeah, that's where you hide something in your room and you're like, I'll never forget what that is. And then you don't know where I hell of it is. Or where you put your land yesterday, which feels like two years ago.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I mean, we are sleep deprived. It's like, we go to Houston Street and you say like a tourist and say Houston. Yeah. That's like you put your keys down somewhere in your room and you're like, Albert, and then you can't see him, find him for a month. No idea where you put on. That happens all the time. Speaking of Christmas, which we were talking about Christmas in Australia,
Starting point is 00:27:29 where the origins of Santa Claus and all that. I got to talk about Peter Millar, one of the greatest holiday gifts you could ever imagine for anyone, but especially the guys in your life, go to petermalar.com, go to petermalar.com, dot com slash four even more importantly we're wearing peter moire right now i gotta tell you they're five pocket pants i got a bunch of different styles the eb 66 those are really good the sateen pants those are phenomenal the perth quarter zips and pullovers those are off the charts they're polos i'm kind of addicted now to their polos they're those types of shirts that just fit perfectly you can sleep in them if you want to do they're that comfortable you know some polos you
Starting point is 00:28:11 put on it's like the shoulders look wrong or the sleeves are the wrong or the sleeves are the wrong or it doesn't sit in your body. Sometimes you just look like dumpy and pathetic and other times they're too tight. Peta Milar, when you put on it, and it's almost like you're like a mannequin and the shirt was designed perfectly for your body. Every one of them.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, I mean, it's really good stuff. Today I wore the Peta Milar shirt that had a bunch of planes on it. And it was a showstopper. It was a showstopper. It's a gray shirt, a collared T-shirt with planes, black planes all over it.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And like, you didn't really know what it was in. look closely and they go those are airplanes man is it a showstopper it's just like it's it's not loud shirt it's just like fashionable let me say this i get a lot of um we all get a ton of stuff right we work with different apparel companies we work with we test out clothes that they send that we might put in the store uh companies try to get free ads and send us stuff so a lot of times i'll send a bunch of stuff back to my my brother and my friends back home just extra stuff whenever I go back
Starting point is 00:29:13 the only thing they're ever wearing is all the Peter Malar stuff yeah that's what they're always wearing like no yeah you sent some cool stuff we just we all want the more like you said I accidentally wore another company shirt the other day and my breast all areas were popping because it just didn't fit right yeah no I noticed that you did puffy nipples
Starting point is 00:29:31 I had some puffs oh some Christmas puffs yeah we were walking on the street on the way back oh man we were walking on the way back Frankie's looking at this picture of his nipples in a in this shirt nipples they were exploding he's looking at his phone
Starting point is 00:29:46 just as we're converging with another group of people and Frankie says out loud loudly so the whole intersection could hear he says holy shit put a bra on and we were like
Starting point is 00:30:00 and everyone around him was like yeah everyone was like what did this guy just said in the vicinity there was like three different groups converging and everyone looked at me like
Starting point is 00:30:08 and why would ever a guy say it to himself put a bra on. Dude, I was just another world. So obviously you're talking about one of the 10 women that were within 15 feet of us. I got a picture sent to me
Starting point is 00:30:16 and I looked it in and those things were. Holy shit, man. Look at my nipples. Some puff balls. I was like, holy shit, put a bra on. And there was like, and I looked up and everyone's looking at me like horrified.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I was like, oh shit. What's the rudest thing you can say in public in a group of people? I think that might be. That's close to number one. Yeah. Well, thanks Peter Malar because I won't have to deal with that anymore.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah. It wasn't there shirt. Petemlar. com slash 4. great gift for any guy in your life or just go get yourself some stuff because they make the best apparel. It looks good. It looks, you look professionally, you look clean,
Starting point is 00:30:46 you look like an athlete, you look exactly like what you want to look like. You look classy and you'll just be insanely comfortable. So go get some Peter Malar stuff. Golf. We played two golf courses so far. We have the Roo Cup going on. We're mid-Roo Cup right now. Roo Kangaroo. We're looking to see you kangaroo. You spelled at RU, I noticed.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Yeah. What's that about? You know where that came from? like RuPaul. You know where that came from? Rupal. You just spelled it on? Are you going to say Rupal? Is that what's from? I was just waiting maybe a big pause and then Rupal. No. No. When people, when the term Roo, when I learned of that term, it was because
Starting point is 00:31:26 Zanazi emailed it to me and he said, hope you see some rues and spelled it that way. You would think it's R-O-O-A-Poschre-S. You definitely would, but that's not how they're spelled it to me. It would make sense that it's R-O-O. Yeah. All right. Do you want me to change it? No, I want to know what's correct.
Starting point is 00:31:46 That's all I want to know. So maybe we'll evaluate it. We can be like, gee, why is this Australia trip motivated? RU-U-L-O-O? Maybe you should be the RU-Cup. We could just call it the Ozzy Cup, but I do think Roo's better. I like RU. We have to see a kangaroo.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Do you want to make it the R-O-O-Cup? Yes. RU-Hifin O-O Cup. That's the worst. I hate that idea more than anything. Yep. So the Roo-Cup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:10 is a week-long challenge. It originally started, we were going to do, we were going to mix up the teams. We're going to do just kind of based on the chirping or the conversations that day. We're going to mix up teams, do some match play, and just whoever had the best individual point record at the end would, or most points at the end, would win the Rooka.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Well, we did myself and Trent Daddy against Frankie and Lurch. The first round at Kingston Heath, we lost. We challenged them to a rematch. We won. and we said, screw it, let's do these teams the whole time. There's a lot of pride that's being built up, a lot of camaraderie, cartners, some huge shots of action. Some huge shot.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I would say so far, we've had more big moments of, like, positive shots than we had the entire North Carolina trip. Yeah, I mean, something about that. So the first round, I think we were all just on another world. I know that we felt like we were okay, like off the plane and stuff, but, I mean, like, we lost Trent after 12. Yeah, my legs gave out of it. Trent was just another, it was just in another world.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I mean, today we had super stiff back in with Lurch. Yeah, I think that couldn't move, couldn't get down to the golf ball. So, like, I think that has been really in effect in the match as well. We lost, me and Lurch lost the first round. We won the first round because, like I said, it was basically just us first rigs because Trent was just mentally and physically out of the match. Lurch played pretty well. You guys also made three birdies in the back night.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Yeah, we made three bards in the back night. Yeah, we made three birds in the back. We were all square at the turn. This is at Kingston Heath. Three birdies in the back nine and all three of those holes I made par. Which it's like, it's not, I don't make a ton of par. And Kingston Heath is a super private golf course. I mean, you said that it's a like top one or two courses in Australia sometimes when it's being rated.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So the rankings that I looked up, golf digest top 100 in the world, which they take all the courses from the United States out. And then they just rank all the other courses in the world. It was ranked number 13 in the world, Kingston Heath. Yeah, it's a different type of golf course. One member was saying that he thinks it's better than Royal Melbourne when the courses are split up. But when they put Royal Melbourne's both courses together, that's a better track. Yeah, because they have 36 at Melbourne.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And they do a composite for the President's Cup, which is what they're doing this week. Super understated clubhouse. Clubhouse. It was like kind of had like Florida vibes where it was like you walked into this like sliding glass door and like everything was kind of open. And like it was like an open. It was like built for storms. Yeah, it was like built for. It was like, yeah, it was like an overhang, basically, the whole clubhouse, very open.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And they just let you walk out. And, I mean, they let us walk out. And we took these, what are they called, buggy? Yeah, buggies. Push carts. Push carts. Buggies. Riggs didn't want to partake in the push carts.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I thought that it was customary to do it. I felt like we were, you know. Customary. You think he's spit in the face of the Australian? It wasn't a spit in the face of the Australian. I'm saying, I was offering that for maybe of what it was. What they interpreted it as? Right.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Well, here's the main reason I didn't take them. Every person there was pulling a cart. Every single one. There were carts everywhere. Everywhere. When we pulled up, there might have been 75 carts just sitting there by the pro shop. Here's the main reason and the only reason I didn't take them. Last time I saw somebody take a push cart, pull cart, everyone to call it, was Lurch at Sand Valley.
Starting point is 00:35:24 And like two holes in, they were like, this was a huge mistake. Now, that was significantly more undulating. And they basically said during that round, they're like, this is more of a pain of the ass and it is a benefit. That's true. So I thought it was like delightful. yesterday was delightful also sand valley
Starting point is 00:35:40 yeah more undulation which made it tough pushing it up and whatnot the hills that was a heavier one the ones yesterday were it was just two wheels and a little piece of metal yeah very very light
Starting point is 00:35:51 your clubs just floated on it yeah that was nice but yeah so the two days have been completely different today Trent showed up I did a little bit better I got sleep and I got Starbucks that's how it goes
Starting point is 00:36:04 so Let's talk a little bit about Kingston Heath real quick. Australian sandbelt, the Australian sandbelt, very famous in golf. You've got some incredibly famous stretches or areas, locations in golf. Monterey Peninsula, obviously has Pebble, has Cypress Point, Monterey Peninsula Country Club, Spyglass, all these. You have like Long Island, which has obviously Shinnecock, Friars, Beth Page Black. if you go a little bit more inland, obviously, by where Frankie's from. You've got national golf links.
Starting point is 00:36:39 You've got a ton of golf courses in that area that are considered some of the best golf courses in the world. You've got Scotland, like in particular, the East Coast of Scotland. It's got St. Andrews. It's got Karnusti. It's got a bunch of golf courses. And the Australian sand belt is up there. It's in, you know, that same realm as being incredibly famous for the type of golf. And the reason is because it plays insanely firm and fast.
Starting point is 00:37:03 And that's like Link's Golf. where golf was created in the UK and Scotland, that's how golf plays. Lurch has been there where it's like you cannot believe how firm everything plays. You can't land the ball short of the green. It'll roll onto the green. It doesn't end up anywhere near where it lands, which is the complete opposite of traditional American golf.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Things are wet, things are, you know, the irrigation, things are overly manicured, try to make them as green as possible. What that does makes everything soft, the ball pretty much stops exactly where it lands, and it's predictable and this that. This is the complete opposite of that. So the Australian sand belt,
Starting point is 00:37:38 this is our first experience ever. Kingston Heath is right next to Royal Melbourne. It's the definition of Australian sandbelt golf. What does that mean Australian sand belt? Is it like, it's just like the type of terrain, I guess. Sand everywhere? Of sand, which sand, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:55 becomes insanely firm and wind swept and they don't get a ton of rain. And so over the years and years and years, what you just have along that stretch is very similar to like classic link skull how would you compare it to like when you just played like st. Andrews in Scotland. Because I remember you saying, like, I wouldn't even be able to hold a green and stuff. And, like, today and yesterday, like, there was a lot of times where, like, me and you were both saying, just hit it in the front and let it run up. Was it any similar to that?
Starting point is 00:38:24 Today we made some ballmarks. Yesterday we did. Today was different. Yeah, today was different. So today's course. Yesterday we didn't make any ballmarks, which was like Scotland. Yeah. Was that, like, anything similar to Scotland?
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yes. You play the same way, like, when you're in the fairway? I mean, dude, there were balls yesterday at Kings and Heath that were laid. standing 10 yards short of the green and going over the back. Yeah, I mean, I just started playing at the meter number. Like, I used, I was just playing meters as yards. So it would be 10% more. And just adding that 10% would just be part of the bounce.
Starting point is 00:38:55 So if it was 140 meters, I would play at 140 meters. And then let it run out to 1505. That's similar to what you did when you were. Yeah, very much. Very much. We were watching T shots that guys were hitting bouncing 15 feet in the air. Yeah. Like normal T shots that guys were hitting that.
Starting point is 00:39:11 think oh i think it's going to barely clear that bunker be like whoa it would bounce way in the air and then it could roll to anywhere um which again is like that's why people thrive about that type of golf kingston heath in general like i didn't think it was um overly aesthetically like memorable it's a pretty flat course i think a lot of the reason people love it so much that are you know golf nuts architecture nuts is because the firmness like we talked about and the fact that it's a relatively
Starting point is 00:39:46 mundane piece of property that has a world-class golf course on it. People always chalk that up more. They almost considered a crutch if you're given like a piece of land on the cliffs as like, oh, of course you're going to build a golf course permanent property. I was going to say the surrounding area was like
Starting point is 00:40:02 there was like a broken down like playground like beyond the trees. there was kind of like a weird neighborhood like on one side and I remember being like this is it's crazy that they stuck a golf course here it's just in the middle of just like a town with like a bunch of like when you're driving down to it like there's a bunch of fast food chain places and like and like car rental shops and then all of a sudden you make a right and it's just like you're in this crazy turn in's very hidden rigs almost missed it and then we're just kind of like what was it like a white just a couple white like stone bow or whatever Never know a golf course was there. And then it just said like Kingston Heath and very understated, like, a little sign. I do like when it's like that. Garden City Men's Club is like that. I mean, Garden City is a super nice area in Long Island, but like they always say you would never know that there's a world-class golf course in the middle of Garden City.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Fryershead just has a mailbox. Yeah. That's it. That's awesome. You turn at the mailbox. You drive back in and then you kind of see. It's pretty cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:57 But yeah, it's Kingston Heath in general. It's very understated. It was originally built in 1925. I think his name was Dan Suter. maybe. I can't remember his first name is S-O-U-T-A-R. And then a year later, Alastair McKinsey came and was visiting Australia and he did the bunkering is what he did. So it's got obviously a lot of history, a lot of architectural sort of gravitas, and people love it. I loved it. I thought around the greens, it was so cool. I think any time you can play golf like that where you just watch the
Starting point is 00:41:28 ball run and run and run forever, that it's just, it kind of opens your brain almost to like a whole different world of golf. which is really exciting. I don't know that I hit my 60 degree within like 50 yards of the green once. Outside of maybe bunkers. But like... Yeah, you had to get lucky.
Starting point is 00:41:45 I mean, I think like a couple of times I missed hit it and kind of chunked it. I was like, oh, shit. And then you walk to the cart and you put the... You put your club away. You walk up and you're like, oh man, I'm in the front of the green.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Like I thought I was 40, 30 yards short. That happened to me a couple time. And then another funny thing that happened to us was when we got to Kingston Heath. We were walking on the clubhouse, walking through, like, the facility and stuff. Looking for sunscreen, obviously, because down here, the sun is fucking brutal, man.
Starting point is 00:42:12 My neck is torched. I mean, your next back. Dude, because it's the only place I didn't put sunscreen on yesterday. Today I was like, okay, but like it's the only place I didn't put it on. Back your neck looks like a pink starburst. It's crazy, man. Crazy, crazy. They say it's 30% stronger down here.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I don't know how that's possible because when we look at the map, we're like close to Antarctica. How is it not freezing here? I don't know. It was just funny. I can't answer that either. I don't know what the mileage is, but like when you're looking on the map, it looks as though like we're in New York and Antarctica is Florida. Like it looks that close, like looking at the map.
Starting point is 00:42:46 When I was like looking at the airplane like map. Yes, I agree with you. It looks like when you're flying at Australia, you see you Antarctica right below it. Yes. So apparently what somebody said to us is like the ozone layer has burned off so the sun's 30% longer. What does that mean the ozone layer? Wouldn't Australia just be fried off the map if the ozone layer just didn't exist? There's deserts here and stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:43:10 I mean, it's fucking like waste area. I feel like this whole country like, well, there's probably a lot of luscious areas. I guess the greens did feel like there's no ozone layer. Yeah. No. There's definitely probably luscious, like, beautiful areas here. Like the Victoria Falls, is that something? Am I wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:43:23 I don't know. I don't know anything about this place. I mean, it feels, honestly, every course we played that it hasn't seen rain, true rain in months. Dude, it feels like another world when you're, when you see, like, how dry it is. and everything about it. But we saw a guy in the pro shop and like he heard the way we were talking about it. And like he's just like, oh, he goes. This was in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:43:43 You mean? Well, no. I think maybe the same guy. But when we were in the pro shop, he's like New Yorkers. Like that fucking sucks like to himself basically being like, I'm in Australia too. This guy was a New Yorker. And he heard us like talking to the pro shop. And he's just like, I can't get away from you guys.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Like let me have an experience like around the world. Please just like without having to talk to you guys. I got like that vibe from him at first. Because he's like, oh, New Yorkers. And then we ended up seeing him in the toilet, which is what they call the bathroom. And he said, uh, why don't you. We didn't see him physically inside. No, he said, why don't you bombard him while he was on the toilet?
Starting point is 00:44:13 It was marble floors. He said, why don't you put in here? It'll, you'll have some good practice for out there. So it was a nice little, he was doing a little bit. And I thought, we all thought that he was like overdoing it. He was right. Yeah. Those green.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Spot on. I mean, we were watching guys were hitting chips that were bouncing five feet in the air. Yeah. Bunker shots, right? Yeah. Somebody would get under one pretty, pretty good. And it would come out nice and how. land near the pin and then almost like a trampoline over the green you'd be like at first
Starting point is 00:44:39 you're thinking like wow that might have a pretty good chance of holding the green and the first bounds you'd be like oh sit you'd be like yeah what you're talking about what are you that's out about you have the big bunker in front of you have the big face of the bunker in front of you so then you hit the shot you do the old bunker run up like ooh that could be pretty good and then it's just over the top spin see you later into the bunker on the other side of the green so it was a circus and like frankie said at first like that was straight off the plane it this is three p.m. Sunday we teed off and none of us had slept in a bed since Thursday night. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:45:10 So I think about that. I didn't need to go to sleep like in my brain. My eyes weren't heavy. I wasn't, like, I felt like Gumby out there. All my senses were slow. My eyes were slow. My hands were slow. Like my touch.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Like, even holding the, like, the club felt weird. I didn't have, like, you know, you know sometimes when you're like loopy and you're like laughing and giggling, you can't like squeeze your hand. You ever feel that? Yeah. You never, you, you, sometimes. I've gotten like laughing fits before where I can't like I can't like open up a bottle of water you can't you can't dude I've done that with my girlfriend before I've done something so stupid and like she'd be like what's wrong with you and I'd like try and open up a water I said I couldn't open up a water bottle I was so lose everything I was that never happened you lurch no not really oh man there was one time in my bed when I was laying there and for whatever reason I wasn't stoned or anything but it felt like my arms and legs were miles away from my head you were definitely hot. No, I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Somebody definitely slipped to you. I was just lying there, but honestly, I was like, my, yeah, my extremities felt like they were detached from my body and just, maybe I was just growing. Maybe your shoulders went numb and then all you felt was like your hand further away. It was so weird. I'll never forget the feeling. I did feel like on the drive there that I had taken an edible. I was giggly. I couldn't, I was like an out-of-body experience.
Starting point is 00:46:29 And then I just crashed while we were golfing. And it was one of the worst feelings I've ever had. We also had, like, a dangerous amount of time at the hotel. We got to drop our bags, put everything down, take a shower, and that was, like, 20 minutes. Yeah. So you had just enough time to, like, take a shower and get horizontal for, like, six minutes. I like, you keep saying that I like that term.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Horizontal. You said it a lot. I mean, that's a huge piece of sleep. Never? That's a good one to put in your arms room. Yeah, especially when you're talking about, you're doing the plane sleep where you're, like. What about picking up chicks? So you want to go get horizontal?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Yeah, you could say that, except you want to. want to kind of rustle. You don't want to just know. I know. I know. It means I go to bed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:07 You want to wrestle? You want to come over my place and just sleep? You want to make an L? Well, that's the old college try. You know, let's go watch a movie in my place. Yeah, Netflix and Chill. Exactly. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:16 Yeah. That's what the kids are saying. Yeah. I don't think Disney Plus and chill. I was just going to say that too. I was just going to say that too. I was just going to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Really? That feels a little dirtier. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go watch our childhood movies and get fingered. Let's go. Me, it's fucked. Yeah, over here, people say when you do something wrong, like, we're playing golf.
Starting point is 00:47:37 You hit it in the wrong spot? You're like, oh, you're fingered. You know what that doesn't come out of nowhere. It is a tweet in a way to say the same thing. And it's funny. I'm absolutely going to say that. Oh, you hit it over there, you're fingered. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Are you going to say with an Australian accent? You fingered over there, mate. Good day, Mike, chase. The wall will be down by the river. You're going to get fingered down there. I'm actually feeling it pretty good. I do like a, dude. I go on.
Starting point is 00:48:01 You have too much. British. No, no, no, no. Because Harry was a little bit British. I hit a ball and then Harry goes, oh, your finger. I looked at him because I had never heard it before. I go, what hole would you pick? Yeah. Right, because finger couldn't mean good.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Cun. You can't say it. What? Can't say cunt. Yeah, Frankie found out. I mean, how many times are you going to rip it? Devastating news. Devastating news. Devastating news.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Not for Frankie. Devastating news. They said that it's more, you're allowed to say. Don't do that to me. Don't say that. Don't ask for answers. Yeah, who's they. Like, you know who they is.
Starting point is 00:48:36 It's the people that we can talk. Yeah, I give you names. Like, what's Harry's last name? You want a guest list for the people who told them? Like, they said, I don't know. Who else would it be there? We're all sitting here. Keep it going.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I don't know anyone else here. Keep it going. We're all in the same room. It's true. It wouldn't be they. It would be us. So they, Australians, apparently, say that, like, yeah, you say it a lot more here, but it's amongst the boys, which doesn't feel right.
Starting point is 00:48:59 No. No, he said women hate it. And he begrudgingly said that. He wasn't like, oh, yeah. When you're hanging out with your friends, just drop the C word all you want. You were like, can I say? He's like, yeah, you can see. Well, all these emailers that have, like, messaged us.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I mean, every single email and DM started with the C word. And they're like, you got to come down here and just rip it around. I think it was sabotage. Yeah. And they also said we're going to see fucking kangaroos and all these snakes. Only thing we've seen as bugs. So we played Kingston Heath. You got, uh, we, you guys got Molly wapped against us.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I mean, we destroyed. We destroyed you. Yeah. And then we played. What the hell is the name of that place today? Peninsula Kingswood. Peninsula Kingswood. Peninsula Kingswood was a different experience.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Speaking of a different experience, I got to talk about Gosling's rub. We were in Bermuda last week, myself and Andrew. How'd that go? Drinking wise, phenomenally. Golfing wise, not great. Did you listen to last week's podcast? No.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Okay. What'd you say? I don't know. Tell me what you said. I didn't say anything. I just asked if we listened to it. It's a twisted laugh out of a truck. It doesn't feel.
Starting point is 00:50:02 What'd you say? I don't say anything. You said something? No, I said Gossip's fantastic. It's 45-minute podcast. You said nothing? No, I didn't really talk that much. What'd you said?
Starting point is 00:50:13 You got to tell me what you said. No, no. I have to go listen now? No, no. It's better if you don't. Yeah. You know, it's better for the vibes here. Wait until we get on the plane and then listen to it.
Starting point is 00:50:25 No. It wasn't malicious. I was just talking about you around. I don't like doing this. I like talking behind you. back better. He does say that. That is like the main theme of the first 20, 25 minutes.
Starting point is 00:50:36 The first 25 to 40 minutes of the podcast, I talk about how I would never say any of the stuff I said on the podcast if you were in the room. It was actually pretty good. What were you saying? Oh, I think that you were just going to blame it all in the wind or something. Well, we could say our theme of the podcast was that we were going to predict what you said because you were going to be after us. Oh, that's a good way to do it.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah. That's a good way to do it. So I was like, if you're listening to this podcast in the next 20 minutes, Riggs is going to say the wind was this and all this stuff i thought it's pretty good and i haven't listened back to see if i was correct the wind was a factor okay but i also played poorly okay i think the two things were the main factors i love when you were smirking through the played poorly part because you didn't want to say it but you had to no i but i forgot i forgot i just forgot that happens man wind looked crazy crazy we had a little gust of way i'm gonna let you get through this
Starting point is 00:51:29 the Austin's Reef. We had a little gust of win today and it was effective. It was incredibly effective and I had to enlist basically Andrew to be like, tell him Andrew and Andrew was like, this is a joke compared to what we
Starting point is 00:51:45 had to deal with. He did. And my only other thing that I will say is that Matt Barsie Alley, who did not shoot worse than 75 at Shinnecoq in the U.S. Open when he finished Lowell and shot 81 in that wind. Oh man. So I mean, that's a it. It was just hard.
Starting point is 00:52:00 81. And I forgot to hit a driver. Gosslings rum. So if you don't familiar with Gosslings rum, Spirit of Bermuda, the Dark and Stormy, it is Bermuda's national drink. They didn't even have a national anthem in Bermuda. They have a national drink.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It's pretty legendary. It's the darkened storm. It's also one of the only trademarks cocktails in the world. So, like, you can't get a dark and stormy with other rum. It's Gossings rum. That's just, that's what it is. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Isn't that wild? Yeah, that's sick. They're Bermuda's oldest continuously running business since 1806. The seventh generation is currently in charge. They've got five members of the eighth generation currently involved in the family business. We like family businesses around here. Gosslings rum. Go make yourself some drinks.

Starting point is 00:53:18 Get yourself some Gosslings rum. We love Gosslings. They also go check them out. The Black Seal is their Twitter handle. Great logo, by the way. The seal with the barrel of rum. Everything about Gossil. and the dark and stormy makes me, I mean, I want to drink it after a round of golf because, you know, it's always dark and stormy after a round of golf.
Starting point is 00:53:37 And I also want to watch it. I also want to drink it while I watch Pirates of the Caribbean. Same. You know? Yeah. Maybe you'll just play the soundtrack. And maybe, like, just sit on a porch and watch the weather come in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:49 You know? Like your dad. Yeah. Shout out to Gary. He loves sitting on the... I'm a stogie. Yeah. Lurch with smoking a cigar because, I don't think we've talked about.
Starting point is 00:53:59 this enough. No. Tons of bugs in Australia. The bugs are a problem. It's a problem. Take your snakes. Take your kangaroos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:04 They don't even exist here. Take your devils, whatever the hell you call on them. You are birds that sound like your darkals. Your birds. And bugs. Bugs are the only thing that really gets under your skin. Yeah. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:54:15 And Lurch had a cigar and he lit it up. And it was, it made him go away, which is great. It also reminded me of my father. He's a big cigar. I said, but Gary just sits on the porch with a stogie. I did. I said you felt like you like you, I said you feel like you knew his social security number. That's what that's right.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Everything about my dad is smoking cigars and watching storms roll into the Midwest. That's what he does. And bacon. A lot of bacon. Today we played Peninsula Kingswood. Very different experience. I think an incredibly pleasant surprise. We didn't know much about it.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Dude, I, yeah, first time you turn in, it's just more luscious. That's the first thing you see. Luscious greenery. It's significantly more green. It's on the, you know, it's not that far from Kingston Heath, but. It's right on the border between the Mornington Peninsula and where the Australian sandbelt ends. So it is still firm. Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Like a lot of the T shots and all that, still firm. It still runs. But it wasn't as severe and firm and fast as Kingston Heath blatantly. And the greens, I thought, were nowhere near the same firmness. They were just as fast or faster, but which is very fast. And they are pure, insanely pure. Oh, maybe some of the pure screens I've ever seen. I've ever heard of.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I thought they're pure than like really like anything we saw in like Piner, Stephen. Yes. They were pure. They were perfect greens. And they had little backstops, which just made it more fun. We did this. We did this at Piner's. Like Piner's number two was like the course, just like Kingston Heath was.
Starting point is 00:55:46 And it's the same thing. Like it's a little more flat than the ones that we liked. Like, or me, I'll speak for me myself. Like it was a little more flat, a little less characteristic. But like the golf nerds and like all the architects, they love. love those types of golf courses. Then we went to Pioneer's number four, which was just more luscious and had like character to it.
Starting point is 00:56:05 I like character. Like it doesn't have to be everything that, you know, what makes it a top 100 golf course. When we got to this place today, Peninsula Kingswood, I just knew just from driving in, I'm like, I'm going to enjoy this a lot better.
Starting point is 00:56:17 And it was spectacular. It had so much elevation change. A lot of holes that really stood out. It's a 36 hole facility. They just redid a bunch of it over the last five, six, seven years. They redid the clubhouse just opened like six months ago. The clubhouse is stunning.
Starting point is 00:56:33 The clubhouse is Liberty National level. It really was. They have two, all the, they have grass tennis courts. Is that right? Lurch. Yep. Grass tennis courts. They had a bowling, like outdoor bowling. What was it called? Lawn bowling. Lawn bowling. Oh, it was the most like
Starting point is 00:56:51 manicured, perfect, everything, artificial turf. They had all the lines out there. They had this just like off the wing of their main clubhouse was just a glass room with an Olympic-sized pool inside. It's true. So all of that combined with these two incredible golf courses, we played the North course. It's the only when we got to experience.
Starting point is 00:57:12 And right off the gate, we just could tell like, okay, this is different. You could see the city of Melbourne in the background. So cool. Which was so awesome. It was clearly like 20 miles, 30 miles away or whatever it is. But you can see it from two or three different T's. You could see the water. So it just kind of, it wasn't necessarily water views.
Starting point is 00:57:32 But again, on four or five teas maybe, you can kind of like see it off in the distance. We started on number five. We started on five because we missed our tea time. Yeah, big time. We showed up and they said, you're late. That's like the only thing they said to us. Yeah. They took care of us.
Starting point is 00:57:47 They were great. They're like, we'll drive you out to number five. Absolutely. And then you can just play one through four after. So you have plenty of time to film and all that, which we did. Our guy, Harry, joined us. club champion you know a couple people throughout the day
Starting point is 00:58:00 were like driving out you could tell that we are the dumb Americans and I don't know if I'm just like self-conscious about it or I think that like everyone's like thinks that we just look like it like we have a target on our back but like I just feel like everywhere we've been so far even when we go to like we went to McDonald's we couldn't figure out of pay like the credit cards weren't working like everyone's like
Starting point is 00:58:17 look at these idiots like we're also in cards today and everybody else was doing the push card thing yeah everyone's walking wearing golf carts we're slowing the people down we got we got the drone flying everywhere Did I bless Trit real quick? God bless you You don't know if Mike picked that up or not
Starting point is 00:58:33 Bless you, I try to put it away You didn't too very well at trying to hide it Well I wasn't trying to hide the sneeze I was trying to hide the mic Okay bless you drink But yeah I thought like a couple times The people were just like looking at us A couple guys came up on the tea
Starting point is 00:58:45 And we're like what these guys doing Like making cracking jokes But then we had Harry come along And he didn't really like say it much to begin with He just like appeared after a green I'm like whatever like 11 or 12 And he stuck with us the whole day. We found out that he's the two-time club champion. He's a plus one. Yep. And he's just
Starting point is 00:59:02 the coolest guy ever saying that we're going to get fingered and all this stuff. And just like super like you could tell he's like a successful dude and like really like, he's got a good attitude. He's like he's just like successful. You can tell. He's got a great attitude. And he's also kind of like shy, but then like he has like hilarious little. He's got like charisma, but it's all hidden. But when it comes out, it's awesome. He also maliciously love to laugh at our demise. And he would laugh and he would cover his mouth like it was a giggle, but he would be like gasping for the air. He would be like, look, like Harry's just laughing in our face. He's like, it's quite entertaining.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Quite entertaining. Yeah, it is. Someone would hit a downhill put 30 feet off the green. It would be quiet and you could just hear him cackling like off the same. Not only would it rip 30 feet by, but it was maybe 30 feet off line as well. Like that one that we were talking about, we're like, oh, no, this one definitely has a swing right to left. And we thought it was like a 10-foot break. He's like, what did you idiot see?
Starting point is 00:59:58 So he let me hit the ball just the completely wrong way. And he goes, what did you see there? And I was just like, I don't know, Harry. Why don't you just shut the fuck up? He was just always there. Let me just be laughing. Like, ha-ha, quite entertaining. Yeah, it was only 18.
Starting point is 01:00:14 The rigs was at the bottom of the green saying like, Harry, don't tell him a word. And the two of us idiots are up there like, no, I think it's way out to the right. There were times where I was reading the putt and I'd look in the corner of my eye to see if, like, Harry was making a noise. He's laughing earlier like, oh, no, I think it's like six feet the other way. Right, it was a poker. It was a poker game. You're probably to yell out information so that you can then determine Harry's reaction. You can also tell that, like, at any moment he could have grabbed one of our clubs and just
Starting point is 01:00:39 stuck a ball two inches from the pin. Like, he just had that, like, he had that confidence where, like, golf was a joke to him and, like, watching us play it was, like, funny. Yeah, the first tee that I saw him, I was, he just was there. And then I was like, oh, he was like, this is a tough hole if you're playing for the back and I was like oh no we're playing one up because if you're playing from one up the hole's a joke yeah and then we all basically probably made boe so we did this we're doing this travel series video and we get people to talk about everything it's going to be awesome when you see like when we do
Starting point is 01:01:08 the drone work and then when we interview the people and we got harry to talk about it but he also gives us um a little like a tidbit of each hole like one through 18 and it was funny when you watch this video to listen to him when he's talking about hole one through 18 he's talking about it as if he was playing it. He says every single hole is easy. He's like, it's just a drive it down the middle. You're going to want it. It's just an easy chip up and then it's a two putt and it's no problem.
Starting point is 01:01:31 It's like, you know what I mean? There was some times where he, like, his plus one seeped into it where it's just like, it's going to be hilarious to see how easy he makes it sound where he's like, you just want to get it up. I think there was watching us make an 11. Two holes on the whole 18 that he was like, oh, this is like going to test you with a driver. Yeah. And we let so many fairways go perfectly untouched with golf balls. He knows how to play the golf course. He can also hit the show.
Starting point is 01:01:53 He explains on this video exactly where the prime shots are to hit. Where your landing spots are, where your second shots should go. And we don't do any of it. No. And you'll see. None of it. He also was like, yeah, it's a pitching wedge from there. And I'm like, I hit like five-wire.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Right. Some of the things he were saying were embarrassing. He didn't say that. Like he was embarrassing. He was like, yeah, it's like 500 or 450 meters, which is like 5-10. That's another thing. We're playing a meters. You have to blast a driver.
Starting point is 01:02:19 And then from there you'll have like, I think he said like a seven-iron or something like. that you're like that's yeah you're ripping the ball that's another thing we're playing meters we're not doing yards we switched all our range finders it's been an absolute grind for your boy over here yeah we're doing we're doing meters this is not your forte right no i not i not i've already played 36 holes and i'm just gonna like i've guessed every single time i don't know the yardage at all i ask you every time every time yeah we've never one here's of mike lurch what is that we've not yet once on this trip played two rounds ago we haven't had a yardage yet and we're not allowed to do the whole trip no have to play meters the whole we switched all our range finders uh to
Starting point is 01:02:53 meters and that's all it is. Shout out to pin. I also think the ball travels further here. Yeah, it does. It's hot. It's warm. The ball is flying today. It's hot. It's warm. It bounces.
Starting point is 01:03:03 It just goes from it. I hit 165 yard nine iron today. That's just out of my game. Yeah, that's a bomb. That's a bomb. Out of my game. That's not good. Well, no, I mean, like, I think I hit it flush.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Like, the wind was behind me, but like the ball is just flying off the club here. I mean, you hit a drive today that was what? It was 290 meters. That was bombed. Whatever it was. He hit it like. What hole was that? The one, four.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Four, yeah. In that last hole, you killed that thing. Downwind. Yeah, that was smart. The ball just went through the air. It was like you hit it in zero gravity. Yeah, that thing was ripped. Yeah, I will say, like, I don't hit the ball very far, as everybody knows.
Starting point is 01:03:39 And on that hole, too, like, I hit a three iron that usually goes maybe 210 for me, and it went like 270. And we're hitting bombs out here. Boms, bombs, which is fun to play. I mean, it's fun to hit the ball far. It's fun to hit bombs. Shout Phil Nicholson. And when you hit it.
Starting point is 01:03:53 a good one and you can see it going down the fairway and it takes that first big bounce you're like that's picking up this. There's also one of those places like if you're on a par five and you have a three wood out and you top a three wood it'll go it'll go 240 yards. I did that all day today. Like it'll run
Starting point is 01:04:09 forever. There's nothing stopping on the greens of the fairways. The ball just continues to go. Punching out of like danger I've been in a lot of like areas where you shouldn't be. That's another thing that today at Kingston Heath and I'm sure yes, uh, no, today at Peninsula Kingswood.
Starting point is 01:04:25 I found myself in some areas where I didn't want to walk because we had the Brecken is what Harry called it because we had Harry there who knows the golf course and knows the area. Is it the Bracken or the Bracken? Bracken. And he said that you shouldn't be standing there because there's snakes that will just get you. He said that where Trent was standing at one point. I said, Harry, what's in there that Trent standing? He was in nipple high Bracken.
Starting point is 01:04:47 And he goes, oh, nothing too much. Just the two most venomous snakes in the wild are in there. Yeah, Frankie Frankie Borderline scolded me to get out of there. Bro, I was, he was like, get, he's like, get out of there. I was like, I was telling me, dude. Because Harry said, we said, what are the chances that those snakes you're talking about are in there.
Starting point is 01:05:05 He said two of the top 10 most venomous snakes in the world are in there. We said, what are the chances that those snakes talk about actually? He goes, 100%. 100%. He says, this is the number one. Oh, and then another just old, jolly Australian was walking by me. He goes, good day, mate. Watch out for the snakes in that.
Starting point is 01:05:22 And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? I legitimately walked out of there and didn't look for my ball. I was out of the hole. I mean, it wasn't even a place where my ball would be lost. It was just a little bit of stuff. But Harry said if Trent steps on a fucking snake, it's going to get them. Yeah. If you step on one, it won't come after you.
Starting point is 01:05:39 But if you step them on, which they are at your feet in that position, you would have gotten taken out. Trent, you could die. Yeah, I know, I don't want to die. I'm not like, yeah. If one of those snakes bites you and you came into, like, anti-bedom. Crazy. Caval. I don't, I'm not good at golf, so I got to get my fucking balls.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Who cares? Like, we're a bunch of common man golfers. If you say that I see my ball in there, but I don't want to go in there because it's venomous snakes. I'll like it drop the ball, man. Who cares? You were in there for like four to five straight minutes. And the guy who took some time over the ball. You guys are yelling at me again.
Starting point is 01:06:10 No, it's a deadly snake drop. You get a deadly snake drop. Okay. But it has to be agreed. And when we go to Tasmania, he said that's where it gets really fucked up. That's what he said to me. It's called Tasmania. Of course he does.
Starting point is 01:06:22 I said, are we going to see kangaroos? He said, you may see a wallaby. That's what you said, because they're smaller. He said, you have to go seek out the kangaroos, which I think they were like 45, 50 minutes. There's like a reservoir for all kangaroos. I want to go. We have to have time. We have to go to see kangaroos.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I need a picture of a kangaroo. I can't come to Australia and not see a kangaroo. But he said, when you guys go to, I said, is there going to be snakes or fucking these two tarantulas? He said, no. But if you guys go to Tasmania, that's where it gets really fucked. That's what he said. Oh, boy. That's where it gets really fucked.
Starting point is 01:06:47 There's things that will kill you out there. Yeah. Kill you. I don't want to die for you guys. I'd rather go make pizzas than die? Hey, I don't want to die either. What's the word? I refuse to golf and die.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Harry also said to me, he's like, oh, don't worry. They won't come after you. It's like, I'm walking into this guy's dead. I will not die on the testimony. I mean, it's not coming on the fair way to get me. I'm walking straight down the fair way and that's it. I'll shoot a thousand. I don't care.
Starting point is 01:07:10 I'll lose every ball. I'm not like, if you step on, if you step on it, like you came into his home. Over. Over. He's like, oh, no, that thing won't come. So agile, it's like I'm walking at it. It'll take the step and, like, slither out and then just grab you on your neck. Dude, even if you don't die, like, you could lose a limb.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Like, if he bites your leg, your leg's caught. When we're in Tasmania, like, you think they have, like, a lot of hospitals out there. I mean, it's just, like, a remote island. I think you're dead. Yeah, you're dead. I think you're dead. Well, whatever. Peninsula.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Kingswood? Yeah. There's an S in there? Yep. Kingswood. Really cool golf course. And Trent got, Trent lit up on fire today. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 01:07:47 You didn't break 100. You haven't broke 100. No, I'm over two. I made a guarantee that I was going to break 100 on this trip. Over to two. Kingston Heath. Not a shot. Buddy,
Starting point is 01:07:54 you have three courses left. You should have done it today. You had like 14 or 15. You shot a hundred. I shot a 103 today. And you had a bunch of blowups? I had, I started the back nine with a nine.
Starting point is 01:08:04 You can't keep making nine. Yeah. I don't want to make a nine. You got to eliminate the nines. You got to eliminate the nines. A couple sevens, maybe an eight. But then I, the rest of the way I played really, really well. Nine to a six?
Starting point is 01:08:16 Yeah. It's a hundred right there. And then all the other dumb shit. It's good math, right? Yeah. No, I need to do it because otherwise I played really, really well. You said that and he was like you looked away. It was pretty good, huh guys?
Starting point is 01:08:26 I was on the spot. Can we talk about number two? Are we ready to talk about that? I mean, I'm more than happy to talk about number two. I don't know how we want to do it. I mean, I just got the chills. Folks, go to our website or go to Twitter. Or social media or Instagram.
Starting point is 01:08:39 You are going to see a clip from the second hole at Peninsula Kingswood today where Trent Daddy hit I would call it what's going to go down is the most remarkable shot in the history of 4-play. Dude, so far, yeah, I think it may be. Because of everything that, well, you ended up making the putt rig, so I guess it didn't...
Starting point is 01:09:02 Yeah, but the pressure was off. The pressure was off at that point. But like, everything that went up to that point, that we were filming it specifically for a Riggsverse video. Like, we were on camera, like, more than we usually are. Like, we've been filming every shot doing the drones and stuff. But like this one was specifically like, hey, this has to go out this week. Like we're going to put this out.
Starting point is 01:09:21 This is really like going to show our experience in Australia. And like you fucking put on a show, man. The celebration, everything that goes into this clip. Yeah, I don't know. How do we want to explain it here? Do we want to talk about it the whole way or do people are going to watch it? I'll just tell you this. You hit a 120 foot bomb put after 120 feet.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Yeah, let them walk through the hall. Frub off the green in like a horrible spot short of the green down a massive false front. So talk us through. Well, my T shot was short of the green. Well, we had three balls on the green, right? Yeah, it was a 150 meter shot. Yeah. Straight into probably a 20 mile at all the wind at that point.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Yep. I hit a five iron. You hit a six iron. I hit a punch three iron. So this was a tough hole. Yeah. Yeah, it was long. Guys that was playing about 180 meters.
Starting point is 01:10:06 I hit it. I hit a shitty shot off the T, landed short, and it's just huge. You just got to go up the hill. Ramp. For some reason, I decided to hit a wedge because, and Harry's, says this in the video he thinks i think that i have a wedge game when i just don't he says so so confidently and like he was like trend thinks he has a wedge and he was right because i scold it went over the green went back into a bunch of shit that's sitting right behind the green tried to
Starting point is 01:10:30 hit a little bit of like a flop shot which not really i was just trying to get it out of there and trickle onto the green goes all the way down the back which was the front right back where you started right where i started so you've now gone from the t to the front left of the green scald it over the back of the green and sculled it back of the green and sculled it back to where you just were and now you're sitting three. I'm sitting three with a stroke. With a stroke. With a stroke.
Starting point is 01:10:51 We're all on the green. We're all on the green. Like I lagged mine up. I'm sitting two right next to the pin. Lurch is right behind the pin and two. You know, Riggs is on the green. We're like Trent's like embarrassing himself out here. Like what the hell's he doing?
Starting point is 01:11:03 Yeah. And you know, I think better of it this time. So I go with the putter and it's on the Riggs verse. But I was, Andrew was filming. And I was like, all right, now I just, I ended up here. I'm back where I was. And I'm going to try and make a better effort at it this time. 120 feet
Starting point is 01:11:16 I drilled that fucker I drilled that fuck It was crazy It was so center cup It was crazy And it made this noise Because the pin was in It made this noise
Starting point is 01:11:25 It was just like boom Down It made like a Tiger Woods video game noise Frank and in I threw my club Frankie ran into my arms Reminiscent of three or four years ago At the Avalon
Starting point is 01:11:35 The second time now that Trent has hit A shot The other one at that Was like a 75 football It was not nearly as long It wasn't nearly as long But he hit bombs And I jumped into his arm
Starting point is 01:11:45 That's like what we do. I think Trent's a great putter. He has an amazing touch out of those paws. Yeah. No, it was, like you said, outside of one of us hitting a hole in one of these days, that's going to be one of the most normal. That's going to be a tough to be. It's like no one's drained one from that.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Like no one's drained a deep shot yet. Like no one has hit a hole in one. Like nothing has really, you know, no one's hit like a crazy eagle or like albatross. Like that is, and that's for a bogey net par. Yeah. That is the crazy shot on like one of the tougher holes we played all day. That is the most impressive shot we've had yet. I think that's right.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Those guys had to make, they had to make par putts to have a hole. Frankie had to make like a three foot slider to have a hole. Because you made a 520 foot net par puttut. I forgot about the competition at that point. I jumped to his arms. I made a noise that I don't think I'll ever be able to receive. Dude, I was, so we were teeing off on the next. We were teeing off on the next hole and they were watching it back on like the camera.
Starting point is 01:12:41 And you could just distinctly hear shrieking coming. from Frankie Borrelli. Because, like, halfway through at foot 60, I'm like, oh, man, this thing's got a chance. And I think I say a little bit more. I'm like, go in. She's fucking hit me. I was like, ah! That's exactly it.
Starting point is 01:12:58 That's exactly it. That's great. I mean, it was, yeah. Crash their car if they listen to it. Congrats, Trent. Thank you. If we have to pop that thing down or else, I'm going to get sued. It felt, it felt great.
Starting point is 01:13:09 It felt like it would be, like, illegal. If you scream into someone's ears. There's got to be some audio law. I don't know, that probably doesn't exist yet. You know, I've thought, I check, like, my Bluetooth speaker. I bring it on to my carry-on baggage sometimes. And I think, like, how is that not, like, how is, that shouldn't be allowed? Because I could just, in the middle of the flight, just start blaring music.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Yeah. That's crazy. You can fly with drones. I can bring a drone on the airplane. Yeah, but what do you can't fly? What are you going to do? I don't know. I think they just assume.
Starting point is 01:13:38 I think they just assume. With the Bluetooth. Like, what if you, you could, like, synchronize people bring it on all those JBLs, you can, like, synchronize those up and cause a scene on. I guess they just assume you're going to be a human. What if you had, like, 10 people with those speakers or you start blaring at the same time? How the hell are you just disorient everyone? Who's controlling that damn thing?
Starting point is 01:13:57 That'd be a nightmare. I'm not trying to, like, give anybody. That's what you just did? I'm trying to say to TSA, you need to, like, stop allowing that. Yeah. Because what if you bring in, like, you know, earplugs, and then you just did that, you disorienting everybody, you have a huge advantage. Or if you download one of those high, pitch noise, Is this that like old people can't hear?
Starting point is 01:14:16 Yes. Maybe a dog whistle? Yeah. If all 10 people had dog whistles. It's crazy that they allow that. And you can get some crazy Bluetooth speakers now that are wildly loud. They're so loud. Bring that on an airplane.
Starting point is 01:14:28 It shouldn't be allowed. You know it should always be allowed. Always be allowed. Always be allowed. Ours and Alps. Hors and Albs has changed our lives. It's the only deodorant that we use. It's the only deodorant we'll ever use.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Brought a way. I'll ever use. Australia. I'm with him the whole way. I had to. I have two sticks. When I was going to Missouri for Pup Punk right before this trip. Child to Mizzu.
Starting point is 01:14:53 My parents met at Mizzu. Mizzu. Nice little school. A little bland. Like, it wasn't like, I think I went out of a weird time. Well,
Starting point is 01:15:00 you're in Missouri, bro. Yeah. And it was during finals. Yeah. Yeah. But like cool campus. I mean, they have a main street.
Starting point is 01:15:06 I love that stuff. Like nice restaurant. Yeah. Cool bar scene. But they were looking through my stuff and I was like, both my bags got checked. One of them just had drum equipment in, which wasn't good because it was like all metal and sharp stuff. And they just let me on the play with that, too, which is nuts.
Starting point is 01:15:22 It was like bass drum pedals and stuff. TSA, if you're listening. Yeah. Tighten it. Just tighten it up. It was crazy. It was crazy. And then the other one was my bag, and they took out, no joke.
Starting point is 01:15:33 I had three things of Oras and Alps deodorant. And they lifted it up. It was those nice blue, you know, three. And I'm like, and I said, I said, no fucking way. to throw that out. Like, I, I cursed at them out loud. I said, there's no way. Like, there's no way. It's not a liquid. I'm allowed to take it. I was like, I was like causing a scene. I'm like, I need
Starting point is 01:15:52 the Orson House because I cannot stop at a store and just buy something that's going to damage my skin, no, damage my shirts, and leave all those yellow marks. I, it's changed my life. And now I'm not just saying that. Well, I'm not even going to say that. Yeah, I want them to still be a sponsor, but I'm going to use Orson-Nells and else regardless of whatever happens. 100%.

It's crazy for years you just be rubbing deodorant on you that you had no idea like what it was doing to you, but you're just rubbing into your skin.

Starting point is 01:18:19 Do you think I'm manly enough to have a son? Look at his legs. Somebody recently told you that you're... Look to me and goes, uh, because we were talking about like stuff with getting older and engagements and stuff and having kids and he's like, you're having kids.

Make it more important because it's the last round. We're playing the Dunes, which is on the peninsula. And then we're going to Barnbougal, and we're playing Lost Farm and the Dunes course at Barnbougal. So a lot of golf left. We'll update you guys on that. We're going to

They flew all the way here from the Bahamas. It was a launch party. Tiger Ernie, a few members from each team were there. J.T. and Xander Shafley were there. They hit a bunch of chips. We went and hit some chips, too.
Starting point is 01:19:53 We lost that chipping part. Yeah, the video is going to be out once this podcast, I believe, right? Yeah, I'm getting head down. That video will be out by the time this is out. Here's another thing.

Starting point is 01:21:13 yeah it was worth a point in the root cup and it came down to me well no is the chipping video even gonna be ready for that I don't even know I don't even know what we have we have so much shit let's say this about the chipping okay they put a freaking green in the middle of the river it's this this really cool like city center type thing where the river goes through there's tall skyscrapers
Starting point is 01:21:34 and hotels and whatnot on each side restaurants and they basically put up like this President's Cup fan center and they put a little mat in the middle of it and they brought Tiger J.T. all these guys out and they hit a bunch of shots. I think it was a 65 meter shot to this green out of the water.
Starting point is 01:21:50 It's floating balls. A big screen behind it. Floating balls. They don't mess up the environment. They go pick up the balls. And you hit wed shots at it. They all did it first. JT. Team USA won.
Starting point is 01:22:00 It was cool. Then we mixed it up with J.T. and Xander Shofley for a while. That video should be That video would be out. We mixed it up big time with JT and Zana Shafley. We essentially got to finally start what is the competition between me and Justin Thomas on Lefty versus Lefty Me, which I should always have confidence that I will dominate that.
Starting point is 01:22:24 But JT walked up to me and was like pretty damn confident. He looked me right in the eyes. He goes, I will beat you. He said that to me because I think I'll win. I think he's right. I mean, his first time ever playing golf lefty. He shot 90. He shot 99, shot 99 ever, first time ever playing 18 holes.
Starting point is 01:22:40 And I've been playing 18 holes lefty for a long time. And I'm still shooting. Sometimes he'll touch 91 today. Yeah, yeah. It's like, easily could have shot 99. Easily. So we did a, you know, we were, we had a simulator and we hit, Frankie basically hit drives against a lefty JT and a lefty Xander.
Starting point is 01:22:58 First time we'd ever met Zander Shafley. Great dude. He's funny. Zanda Shafley's got a real good vibe to him. Really good vibe. You know, every time you look at him, it looks like he's going to say something, like, funny or like, maybe not even funny. Just like every, like he's just like, he looks like an important dude, but he also looks like your friend. He's got both vibes to me.
Starting point is 01:23:16 It does look important. It looks important. It looks like he's got something going on. He carries himself super importantly. Like he's like, like, oh man, that dude. Like he's got swagged your hand and then gives you a little wink. That's what I'm trying to get at. You know, like he winks.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Literally winks. It's like a presidential link. The wink gives you kind of control of a conversation. The first time we ever engaged. and then wink, I'll beg you're right. The first time we ever engaged with Zander Schaftley was today. He was with Justin Thomas. Justin Thomas, I just like saw me.
Starting point is 01:23:44 I was like, what's up? Gave him a little, you know, a little dap, like mini-dap, handshake, whatever. And then Zander was like, looked behind to see what's going on. And it was such a small intimate court. He had no choice but to like acknowledge us. Yeah. And he like shook my hand. It was like, hey, man.
Starting point is 01:24:00 And then as he shook my hand, he just winked. So cool. And we all were like, did he wink? at you. And then later when he came in to do the simulator thing, everybody shook his hand and he winks at you. He's just a wink guy. He's a wink guy. It's a pause and then wink. His peers have to
Starting point is 01:24:15 know that he winks. Like I wonder, like, I know Matt Fitzpatrick list is this show. I wonder if, like, Matt Fitzpatrick has ever noticed that Zandeshaw who winks at him. Just bam, wink. Yeah. Half to. Super wink. He just, but not in a weird way. Not of a cool way. I piped
Starting point is 01:24:31 my drive, 250. It also was like, I think it was a woman's driver. It was like... It wasn't going very far. It was like a hollow driver that was like a regular shaft. We didn't have a glove, the whole thing. I hit it 250, hit it way left. They were chirping the shit out of me for hitting the left. Like my swing,
Starting point is 01:24:47 the whole thing. Like, I had a wedge with me because I thought we were hitting shots, right? Like, the wedge shot thing, I thought they wouldn't have lefties because lefties are all your own wedge. I brought my own wedge. You were carrying your own way. Yeah, I was at this fan center just walking around with a 58 degree that said knife printed on it. So they were chirping
Starting point is 01:25:03 me big time. But then JT got up there. he tried to hit one. I think he got up to like 210 yards, maybe, 200. Yeah, I think it was 215 or somewhere in there. Yeah. Pretty damn good swing. Hung it out left. Like,
Starting point is 01:25:15 then Zander got out there. He had just as good of a swing. I don't know if, I don't know how often he's swing lefty, but no, that's a goddamn assid. Let that heel creep in. Let that heel lift creep out.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Yeah. He goes, let that right heel lift creep in. Yeah. That's what he kept saying. I love that line. Just J.T was like, like, like, more five foot foot.
Starting point is 01:25:32 Yeah. He was trying to get into emotion. And then like at one point, he did it. And Xander's like, oh, yeah, that's it. Well, let that creep in. It was very funny watching the two of them help each other out. Yeah, because they had to go to a dinner.
Starting point is 01:25:44 I know that they had like a team dinner. And the captain was waiting at that point. Which is Tigerwood. The boss man was just sitting at the head of a table at like an Italian restaurant, just waiting for Zander. Tapistakers on the table. I love the thought of both of his elbows and full. Yes, are on the table waiting. Like for JT and Zander.
Starting point is 01:26:03 And they're like in the city. whatever we were in, the city bank like simulator just hitting lefty drives with like Frankie Burley rings Trent and Lertt. But at one point like they had to go and JT's looking at Zander like lining up his front foot
Starting point is 01:26:20 being like no no you want to like just move up a little more because that's right there it's going to feel a little uncomfortable doesn't it? And Zander's like yeah I mean they were like working through it. They wanted it. It was great. They wanted to see this all on video. I mean it's out like you can go watch this. So it's cool. We got to you know we got to see those guys. to kind of initiate our best in the world.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Yep. Our week with, you know, hopefully we're going to get a bunch of that stuff and be able to be around, be in the mix, as they say, and afterwards, they basically, the tour and the people run of the event, let us just have the run of show
Starting point is 01:26:50 on the chipping thing. Yeah. Into the middle of the water. That was a point in the Roo Cup. Pretty crazy. The way that it went down. I went first. I got three points.
Starting point is 01:27:01 Pretty lucky. I nuked my first one over. Second one hit the board. bounce back. So the scoreboard that's like showing where the ball lands behind. Kind of the dartboard where you want the ball to land on. Riggs hit that thing.
Starting point is 01:27:15 And then it bounced back and then hit a railing and then bounced into the three-point circle. Good shot. Yeah, great shot. And the next one nuked over. You'll play the hole. Trent Daddy. I put them all in the water.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Yeah. That's quick. One, two, three. Splash, splash, splash, splash. Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods did. I know that's not taking care of the boss in him, but, you know, Tiger Woods doesn't, like, do little gimmicks like that.
Starting point is 01:27:37 He wins besters and he wins championships. I love how he, he too. Did you hear what he said after he missed him? He's like, I'm a little slow. Yeah, he's like, I'm a little slow. Like, he knows his swing speed. He's got to warm that body up. He's a little slow.
Starting point is 01:27:48 He's a little slow. I'll be just fine. Yeah, he does that. I'll be just fine. JT through darts. He was the first one to go. He hit two and there's the max points you can get without hauling it or five point. A little ring like three feet out, five points, both in the five points.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Yeah. Awesome. Also, the way, so there was a bunch of others, Ashley Barty from who plays women's tennis top, she might be number one in the world. There's a couple other, some guy in the NFL. Anyways, they're all hitting shots as well. The way Tiger is watching these people hit the ball. Were you guys looking at that?
Starting point is 01:28:20 Oh, yeah. Hand on the chin, just staring, not even, doesn't care where the ball goes. He's just literally looking at the impact zone. And I'm talking to Frankie. I'm like, what is he even looking at? Like, I hit the ball. I just hope you're excited after. What is he?
Starting point is 01:28:33 I was captivated at how he was looking at them. So Tiger's watching all these people. There was a junior captain from the junior USA team. And they're striking the ball maybe three feet away from his face. And he is standing directly horizontal, basically looking them in the face. And they're looking down perpendicular. And they're looking down at the ball. And he's like, like Lertz said, he doesn't look up to see where the balls.
Starting point is 01:28:54 He's just looking at their grip, their stance. And they're just like in like a fun little competition. And he is like really looking them up and down. Like seeing the way they come at the ball and like looking. back and like mouthing to people like that's a pretty good swing like you know like when barty left he was like pretty good swing like you know i mean it was it was really fascinating because like you can just tell that he can pick apart your swing oh yeah like i don't want him to see my son oh my god right i mean imagine how kids was able to pick apart our swings in our games yeah like tigers infinitely
Starting point is 01:29:22 he knows exactly what you're doing wrong exactly he knows exactly like here's a question here's a question is going to be are you doing more things right or wrong in your golf swing right you do Yes. Like if there's, I don't know, a million things in McDonald's way. Yeah, I'm doing 500,000 in one of them at least well. Okay. I think my takeaway's wrong. I think my, I think where I think my tempo's wrong.
Starting point is 01:29:48 I think where I hit the ball on the club face is wrong. Yeah, but here's what I would say. I think like your stance, I think like the way that your bio-mechanics. I think your stance, your like overall grip, your posture, all that's like pretty damn good. I would say like the way you get the club like on plane like there's nine thousand things that have to work to do that that I think you do like well. True. That's why kids is able to change one thing like hey get on the balls of your feet and also you start striping right. Yeah. But I don't know for sure. Yeah. That's a good question. So we got up there. We did the
Starting point is 01:30:22 chipping thing. Lurch, you got what one point? One point. Yep. Did the same thing as you nuke the first one over. I got three points. So you got one. Well, that's not. Well, that's just not the same thing. The first one I nuked over, which was the same as you, and then hit the railing, got a point, and then the third one. Short. Short. That's right. And the second one I pulled, and it almost hit the gal that was like counting where the balls are.
Starting point is 01:30:48 Yeah, she had to move out of the way. So I had to step up, like, the hero I am with a wedge in my hand, and I needed to get two points. No, it was three to one. You need to get three to win, two to tie. So, I mean, that felt like it was impossible. My first swing. And then we had like an MC who was like asking us who we were and our handicapped. There was still a couple fans like around watching us.
Starting point is 01:31:07 They turned on like the camera to watch to show everyone that was in Melbourne and like this downtown area like where these balls were landing. Like it was just in the middle of this freaking river. So I was a little nervous. I know you guys were a little nervous too. For sure. Hands are shaken. Riggs is the only one who wore a glove. I want that to be noted.
Starting point is 01:31:24 He wore a glove during a friendly company. He went not only did he wear gloves. He ran into the simulator. Which was like, yeah. which was like, you know, not that, it was close, but not that close. Ran in, grabbed the glove and to come back out. I mean, that's a weird move. Let me ask you this.
Starting point is 01:31:38 Were you guys hands a little sweaty up there? Yeah, but like, that's part of it. Like, yeah, I guess so, yeah. I was also wearing, like, Air Force ones. Since when are we the guys that care about, like, what people think if we have a glove or not? We don't care what tease we play. If you take a push card or not, why do we care if people, oh, what a loser's got a glove. Why, the gloves better for me to hit?
Starting point is 01:31:56 Why would I not wear a glove? Yeah, no, it's like, uh... What's the... What am I not cool? No, it's more hardo. Yeah. It's like, it's like, it's a relaxed environment. And wearing receiver gloves.
Starting point is 01:32:07 Yeah. It's like, who does that? It was hitting a wedge shot. And when I hit wedge shots, I wear a golf club. So I wore a golf club. Yeah. It's like wearing... It's a little tri-ardi.
Starting point is 01:32:15 It's like wearing, um, uh, high socks to a softball game and like baseball pants. You know, those are more efficient, but like, do you do it? Or do you just like... Fishing? Like more like, that's like what you do when you do when you play? play the sport baseball, but do you do it at like a family softball game? Yeah. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:32:33 Here's the main part of the story is that I was a hero after I bladed my first one, almost took out. So my first shot, I bladed 100 miles an hour. Maybe one of the worst wedges I've ever hit. And everyone in the crowd went, ooh! Like, this thing was coming in hot. Almost hit the screen, almost took it out. I mean, the girl that was out there counting it in the middle of the river, like,
Starting point is 01:32:53 ducked, even though it wasn't even closer. She saw the speed it was coming at, and she ducked. Second one, I got a point, and it just barely stayed on the back left. And I had pretty good contact. Third one, flushed it perfectly, landed right in the three-point zone. We won. It was a walk-off. It was awesome.
Starting point is 01:33:09 Walk-off, we got a point. It was incredible. Your last two were phenomenal. Yeah, they were really good. And I hit well off those mats because I know I'm not going to chunk it. Yeah. I mean, Andrew said he had five points, whatever. Andrew went up there.
Starting point is 01:33:21 Yeah. One of our producers, he got five points. Jake put three in the competition. No pressure. No pressure. No competition. That's easy. Anybody can do that.
Starting point is 01:33:30 They were pretty good shots. You guys used the same wedges that Tiger used. I don't know exactly which ones, but one of you. I should actually kept my eyes on that. One of you did. I should have just used all three of them so that I could at least have touched right. A little bit of magic on one of those. That was a huge mistake.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Yeah. Now that I think about it. It's like being like Mike. So you guys won. Again, we got footage of all this stuff so people can check all that out. Follow along on our stuff. We've got to get to some headlines still before we do that. We got to talk about CanaBrans.

Starting point is 01:35:03 So headlines really quickly. The President's Cup, obviously, that's the main focus. We'll talk a lot more about it on the second show of the week in terms of predictions and odds and this and that. Royal Melbourne, going to be firm and fast. We talked about Kingston Heath. It's right next door. It's going to look a lot different.
Starting point is 01:35:22 It's going to be tricky. It's going to be very, very, very cool. So I'm pumped to watch that. golf course. Patrick Reed kind of has become the big story, as he tends to do at these team events. Tends to do at team events.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Hero World Challenge. I think it was the third round. Third round. He's in a bunker. He's in like a footprint in the waist bunker. He puts his club behind the ball. He pulls it backwards
Starting point is 01:35:52 and it just removes some sand. as if it was a shovel. He does it again and removes even more sand. It's just sitting on a tee. So it goes from being a mound by the ball to just not a mound behind the ball. The rule in the way Spunker is you can ground your club. However, the rule is also that you can never improve your lie. You're not allowed to improve your lie.
Starting point is 01:36:18 No, in golf. So this was caught on camera. The clip went viral very quickly. Golf Twitter was all over Apache Green. has all the history that he has, which we've gone over many times in this show, more so about Justine Reed than Patrick Reed. But the big debate became like, is he cheating or is it just sort of an unintentional mistake, right? Like in golf, if you go to move a loose impediment near your ball, your ball moves,
Starting point is 01:36:47 and you didn't see it move or oscillate or something like that, like, that's not cheating. That's just like, that's like unintentional fuck up, take your penalty. this it's like if he really didn't mean to or didn't think he was improving his eyes it looked so blatant that everyone's like he's cheating yeah and patrick greed has the reputation not of of a cheater but of like just of just of like a person who people's like well of course he would do something like that yeah and there are the stories that like in college he was he cheated he stole shit for people like rumors and stories and got around for a long time people love to hate patrick reads everybody was hammering him right away
Starting point is 01:37:25 he ended up getting, which I think was incredibly predictable, he got a two-stroke penalty, and Slugger White, who was the legendary. What a name. Rules guy who drives around the cart. We don't talk about that name enough. Slugger White. His name is Slugger White, and he wears a cowboy hat. It's an awesome name.
Starting point is 01:37:41 It's an awesome fella. He came out afterwards, assessed Patrick Crete a two-stroke penalty, said, I don't know if he could have seen it as clearly as we did, but he could not have been a better gentleman intent would not matter here that's not in the mix now patrick reed's argument was like i think if there was a different camera angle i wouldn't even have gotten a two-stroke penalty because the mound or whatever saying that i removed was so far behind the ball it wasn't even in play which is a hilarious take so all at all i want to say that i think golf in general and like the pGA tour in this situation are very soft in that like they all want to do that like they all want
Starting point is 01:38:25 to protect this idea that like everyone's classy and great and with great intentions in golf and not really address the fact that like it should at least be discussed that like if Patrick Reed intentionally cheated here he should be disqualified for the tournament and like assessed a very strict penalty now it's impossible to prove that if he claims like my intention was never to cheat my intention was like I was just crowned in my club and then taking a I didn't think the dirt affected it It and sand affected it Then how do you argue that what his intention was
Starting point is 01:38:58 But I do think that they like in some way Need to address that fact Because everyone that's got Two functional working eyes Is like he cheated And then they're just like oh no He was such a gentleman It's like well no a gentleman doesn't cheat
Starting point is 01:39:14 That's the problem with golf because we have these rules that are based off of like the honor system They love intent I hate that about God So fucking much it makes me so much It makes me so mad. It's such a weird thing to talk about. They hide behind a tent all the time. Professional sports league is based off of intent and like honor system.
Starting point is 01:39:32 Like it should just be rules. Like you hit the ball foul if it's on the line or it's in play. You know what I mean? Like it's too much weird stuff going on in golf. Did he mean to lose impediments and did he actually mean to do it? It's like one or the other, right? Like it should just be if the ball moves or if you ground the club, it's just a penalty. Like they should just remove all of that stuff.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Intent. Intent to cheat. Look up in 10 and just delete it from the rule. Delete that word. It is incredible that like in football, if you jump a little early to get an edge of a guy and then like it causes you to, you know, dominate them that play and whatever,
Starting point is 01:40:09 you're not considered a scumbag cheating. No. If you like intentionally skirt the rules a little bit to gain an advantage on the field and it's proven or found out about, you are considered like a scumbag forever. And I mean, yes, I get that golf's different than football. It's more like a holier than now, like, culture where it's like, oh, oh, oh, you touch the sand. And it is a sport where, like, it has to be self-policed because 99% of it isn't on television.
Starting point is 01:40:38 It's like you're just out there playing by yourself. And there's no ref. So, like, even when you're playing Little League football or whatever, there's like a ref. Yeah. When you're playing golf, like, there's not a ref with each group. As a. So, like, I get that it's different. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:52 But it is just funny to think about how, like, those things... It's just so different. The intent thing just always blows my mind. Yeah. It's also crazy that, like, just to look at other sports, like, in football, if you were to be trying to, like, deflate or inflate footballs or whatever, you're, like, considered a gigantic scumbag. But, like, if you do try to intentionally skirt the rules during play, you're not.
Starting point is 01:41:17 Like, if you, you, you know, if you, like, step by, out of bounds or the guy. I'm trying to go up with an example. Pass or fear to something. It's like it doesn't get called. You're not like a complete scumbag. If you don't go to the ref and say you should call it penalty. You're just like, oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:34 Right. The inflatable balls and stuff like that, though, is cheating or like is attacking the game. Where golf, like you're changing as attacking the game. But then when you talk about jumping off sides, it's like between people. It's within the framework. Exactly. Like, so it's a little different. Golf leaves this like area where he can just say, like,
Starting point is 01:41:52 no, it's the same thing as me jumping off sides where I didn't like mean to make my, uh, improve my life. They have to listen to him because it's such a soft stupid rule. Right. And it's like golf gives itself an out and then takes it. Like when Slugger White comes out with this and he's like, couldn't have been more of a gentleman. Yeah, that's just a funny start.
Starting point is 01:42:09 Just a two stroke penalty, not intent. What are you guys even talking about talking about intent? That's crazy. It was never even factored in. It's like golf gave itself this out to protect itself and like uphold its own brand. Right. And Patrick Reed is a part of that brand of like, no, he's our master's champ. He's on all of our presidents cup and our rider cup teams.
Starting point is 01:42:30 Like, he is not a cheater. He never, his intention would never be to do that. Why would you even bring that up? Here's a rule question. Let's say, uh, the second one he does is so outrageous. Yeah, it's great. The second one is lunacy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:43 Let's say he approaches his ball. He's in a waste area. He puts the club behind the ball and he's about to hit it. And he does that takeaway where he takes the mound away. Yeah. And then he hits the ball. Is that, like, is that improving your lie if it's all part of one swing? Yes.
Starting point is 01:42:57 And they would, they would, they would, like, give him a two-stroke penalty for that. Yeah, if you improve your life. But, like, I think so. Because I think, honestly, because if you take your swing away. If you take your swing away and hit a branch and a leaf falls off, I think that's a two-stroke penalty, too. What? Yeah, like, if you take a back swing. It's like a hazard.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Yeah. It used to be, like, in a hazard if that would happen because you can't grab your club. But, like. No, but I'm sorry. saying okay isn't there the rule though of you if i'm going to take a hit the ball and i take my club back and i break a branch or knock trees off as i come back through isn't that a two-stroke penalty too if it's like a practice swing and you stop i believe okay but i part of the swing to make impact it's not i think if you do it like if it happens just in the course of your swing it would then it comes down to did you actually improve your lie or not like
Starting point is 01:43:53 right like if you just take out a branch or something that was in your way you didn't improve your lie like that just happened during your swing okay you can argue that that branch like hurt your swing more than anything but wouldn't that wouldn't he have that argument like oh that mound of sand behind the ball was in the swing path was in my way was just in my swing path had nothing to do with where the ball was well no because your swing path doesn't start underground right like your swing path but it's almost the same thing like the mound behind the club like That's why he did it. You're in a tricky world. The mound is behind the club. Yeah. He takes it back. He hits the mound. He takes it back.
Starting point is 01:44:29 And like if you can ground your club, that means that sand behind you is probably higher than the club. Yeah. That's probably where it gets really tricky. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that is where it's tricky. It's so crazy. It's a tricky world.
Starting point is 01:44:40 It needs to be self-policed. And I mean, you need to just be like, yeah, good, like, you know, some honesty behind it. Imagine you put your club behind that ball, like level with the ball. And you just go back. so hard and low and then just swing and it's like there's just nothing
Starting point is 01:44:58 you don't imagine you're in a match and he just like lets his whole body fall and just takes out as much as much as you have to be an extreme athlete to pull that off oh yeah dude
Starting point is 01:45:09 you're going so out of whack and then you're at your like if you're in that waist but you're in like a deep hole like a kangaroo just ran through the sand trap your ball's in that footprint and you just go for the shovel technique and then come back
Starting point is 01:45:23 You might have a better chance. You'd be a huge advantage if you're like Kadeki. You could do that huge thing and then you had a big pause at the top and then you just reset. I want to know. That's true. We're good. I want to know the answer to that. Yeah, I think part of the impact.
Starting point is 01:45:35 If it's all part of your swing and you're trying to hit the ball. Well, here's one for you. I'm Patrick Green. I'm over the ball. I do my practice swing. Somebody screams like a hyena in the stance and then I pull off. But I have now really improved my lie. I step away.
Starting point is 01:45:54 What the hell happens there? All right, but that's if we're saying it's not a penalty to do that in your swing. Yeah, but say it is a penalty. Say it is a penalty. It's obvious. But I'm Patrick Reed. I'm over the ball. I'm going for my swing.
Starting point is 01:46:08 I'm declared a gentleman on tour. I pull my club away. Somebody, Andrew screams like a psychopath. And I step off. Like a freaky braille after trip. Yes, exactly. Holds out. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:46:19 That exact screech. I step off the ball. Because I got to reset because you just screamed like a hyena. What's the penalty there? I don't know, man. Yeah, dude. I like this scenario where Patrick Reed paid the guy to scream so he can improve his life. That's what I want.
Starting point is 01:46:35 Yep. That's the world I want to live. Me too. Nothing happens, right? No, nothing happens, right? They have to play wherever the ball went. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:46 It's amazing. I don't want to like that. There was that awesome story this year. It's amazing that people don't scream more. I think we've talked about that. I agree. Remember what happened to Tiger last year? I think that was in the farmer's insurance. Yeah, but like, think about all these incredible.
Starting point is 01:47:00 We've talked about this on the pie. I know we have because I almost felt like a little weird talking about it because I feel like we're going to open people's brains up, just like we did with like the sound thing on the plane. Like how are people at Augusta National on the 18th green as the guy's about to win the masters and not like as he goes to put just scream as loud as they can't. Like what's going to happen to them that's going to kick down? Like, and then you just ruin the guy's masters.
Starting point is 01:47:21 Yeah, well, then you'd have to like, What? It'd have to be a crazy confluence of events where, like, you actually want to ruin the guy's master. Right. Like, let's say you bet against them. And, like, you know. But then you also, like, you also want to, like, do it bad enough to ruin the masters, which is crazy. Like, you'd be.
Starting point is 01:47:39 Right. The stakes are too high. The stakes are too high. You would be, like, vilified everywhere. Yeah, I know. But it's crazy. I mean, there's villains everywhere. People are fucking bombing places and going crazy.
Starting point is 01:47:49 Like, how is it not? How is it, like, you know, I mean, I'm just saying there's bad people. right? Yeah. Yeah. There's bad people everywhere. But like, if you're that kind of bad,
Starting point is 01:47:57 I don't think you're going to a golf course and screaming. Well, what if, yeah. What if, like, you have a match and like you, you're something, what if you bet like your whole life savings on,
Starting point is 01:48:06 on the guy to win the Masters? True. And the guy who is about to beat you by one stroke, your guy is putting for the win and you're at the fucking Masters. Like, how is that one scenario? Like I said, a lot of events.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Like, somebody would have had to bet their life savings on something to win the Masters. Then it would have to come down to a put. where the other guy could change that. Then you'd have to have a guy who's willing to like... Drunk asshole at just a random sun... Like, I've just never seen like the last putt be ruined ever. Maybe it's happened.
Starting point is 01:48:33 I just don't know. Like, I don't know. It is. Yeah, it's wild. It's wild. It's like it should happen more. It's wild and golf being there in person. So much streaks onto the green as the guy's about to make contact and you're like,
Starting point is 01:48:43 back. So, you know what I mean? Something. Yeah. It happens in every other sport. It's wild and golf. That's true. That's so many people can be in such one place and be dead quiet.
Starting point is 01:48:50 Everyone is polite and, like, is following the wrong. Just quiet. They're baseball. They're screaming. In basketball, they're waving the things behind the free dough line. Football, they're going nuts. Like, there's no control. Even like, you're just dead silence.
Starting point is 01:49:02 Even in baseball when nothing's going on, if you stood in the middle of the stadium, it would be very loud. It just murmurs. It would just be so loud. In golf, you stand on that putting green, and it is dead silent. It is a lot, though. Like, when you went to sports as a kid with your dad and parents or whatever, you would, like, you go to a hockey game, it's loud.
Starting point is 01:49:21 I was never, you know, a country. country club golf guy or whatever but if if you went there something you always were taught to be respectful and whatnot oh you know and then if you went to a golf event you were always taught to be quiet by like your dad and whatnot but every other event it was totally okay so maybe it's just you know no it's definitely something that's like built in it like so many people drilled into you and that's just what the culture is yeah like golf but it's just amazing that there's not that one ass on the t-box at 18 that's just as the guys about to make contact he just goes yeah yeah it's like something crazy I mean, Tiger just lifts up.
Starting point is 01:49:53 Like, what the fuck? I just lost the bastards. There's a lot of assholes out there. There's a lot of assholes. Tons. It's crazy. You know what I mean? There's a whole movie bit bolt off.
Starting point is 01:50:02 Yep. Whole movie. Getting the bunker. Yeah, that was after you hit it. Yeah. You had the guy at the British Open lash ear with Tiger on the 18T. He screamed in Tiger's back swing on the 18th. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:15 Tiger back off? No, Tiger hit it. Yeah. He hit one down the fair way. That's right. But he did like a one-handed foul if he'd like, not my back swing. Anyways, Patrick Reed The situation, Cameron Smith, who's on the international team, came out and said,
Starting point is 01:50:31 I don't have any sympathy for anyone that cheats. I hope the crowd absolutely gives it to not only him, but everyone on the American team next week. I know Pat pretty good. He's always been nice to me, so I don't want to say anything bad about him. But anyone who's cheating the rules, I'm not up for that. I love this comment by Cameron Smith. Essentially, I hope the crowd is really. is ruthless against him and against everyone.
Starting point is 01:50:53 Of course, you should root for that. That's how the crowd should be. I, as an American fan, want the crowd to be that way, too. You'd be crazy if you're not. So that's kind of the latest. I want to give a quick shout out to Kevin Kisner. He finished tied for seventh at the Hero World Challenge and won $137,000. Shout out to Kiz.
Starting point is 01:51:11 I love that. You've been improving my iron game leaps and bounds. I am forever in debt to you for that. So congrats to Kiz. We'll be back on Thursday. It's crazy. Our days are all messed up. But we'll be back Thursday.
