Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. Is my audio okay? Does everybody hear me? How are you guys? Your audio is fantastic to me. I mean, you're on the golf course, and just tell us what you're doing on the golf course. You're at Harding Park, TPC, San Francisco, PGA Championship.

You're calling in from your phone. I can see those like San Francisco, Harding Park-style trees in the background. You just turned the camera to us to a green, and it looks like that is Tiger Woods on the green. That's correct, Frankie. That's a very good observation. I'm here on the 7th Green at Harding Park. I'm following Tiger Woods on the 7th pool was practiced around. I'm trying to be quiet.

I can't actually have the headphones in, so I can't tell how loud I am. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know if other people can hear me. I really hope they can't. But I'm following Tiger. It's a beautiful idea. I will say that I'm going to a golf tournament comes a cart, so everybody brace yourself. Going to a major championship golf tournament when there's no fans is one of the great experiences in the world of golf because I can just have a private viewing of Tiger Woods playing golf right now.

And it's maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. If you could somehow get close enough to Tiger where like you don't have to talk to him directly, but if you could just get like his voice so we could say on this podcast featuring Tiger Woods, that would really be huge for ratings and numbers. If he was just talking to Joey La Cava and we overheard it, we could present it by Tiger Woods's pitching wedge from 152. Anything. Any little decibel of Tiger Woods's voice, and we will shove him in the title so fast, you wouldn't be real quick. It's really tough out there. Just like I want to hear that ring throughout Harding Park.

It's really tough. Yeah. Boys, that's actually, that's a fucking phenomenal idea. So I'm trying to position myself now. If you guys will look here, this is the eighth T-Bonks over here. And, you know, I'm not. say we're the biggest golf ex-holes in the world, but I think he has to go from the seventh hole to the eighth hole to play the next

hole. So I think if I walk over here by the Teabok, I'm going to position myself and I'm going to try to get some live conversation between Joey, Robbie, and Tiger, and then we can put it on the podcast and say we got Tiger Woods for the show. He's just going to play seven and go to the back nine. This is really, for all the listeners, this is a behind the scenes look of us when we were at Pebble Beach and when we're in Australia, that's strategizing of where do we think he's going to walk from green and teacrox was 90% of our conversations in

Australia because we just, you want to throw yourself in front of him just so he can't go anywhere but see you. And so that's kind of what Riggs is trying to do right now. He's trying to get in the spot where Tiger Woods has to go. He's trying to predict where the greatest golfer of all time is going to walk next. And sometimes Tiger will throw in a curveball and walk towards like one of the port-a-potties or he'll make a sharp left turn. And that's when we almost have nightmare moments where Riggs is almost taken down the boss man a couple times coming out of a porta potty. So you're always got to keep your hands on a swivel.

Tiger could be like behind him, even though he was in front of him two seconds ago. Hey, we had a classic, by the way, a Rigsie moment from earlier. If you guys remember the iconic story at the Preet's coach McCormick was behind him. Oh God, yeah. A photographer tapped me to tap him.

Like, hey, can you get out of the way? Because we thought it was just a random guy. Well, my boy, a photographer out here had gotten posted up to take a shot of Tiger hitting his approach shot on seven and out comes like tigers instructed a guy killing that works with him yeah and he comes waltzed across the fairway and gets right in his way and the guy's the guy who i know this photographer he goes hey hey and i was like bro that's his coach you don't want to yell at

tiger's like guy to get out of the way and he was like that's not just a random person i was like your brother you're preaching i've been down this long before never ends well and he was like thank god dude but he was rattling getting getting shot um all right so tiger is on post tiger is on the seven green. I have positioned myself phenomenally. I'm showing the guys now. This is a 251 yard part three. So we should get some good chatter on this T-box about what's going on. Tiger walking up. What's going to happen? I'm going to need you guys to really, you know, I can't be talking about, but I'm going to try to hold the phone. He's walking his way. He's probably about, I'm going to call it 70 yards away from rigs right now. Um, and this is going to be a

big one of you. Turn your volume more. You need like a little. You need like a little. microphone attached to your phone right now. We all just go in the next few seconds. Yeah, so here we go. This would be pretty good. You guys, you're going to have to stick up. He's going to turn the phone. So are we going to be, so are we quiet during this?

Check your mouth. Yeah, we have to. Shut your mouth. Shout out Owen's mixers. Man, it's awesome. Riggs. Riggs. The Rangers, Joey.

It's a fun question that. I got to come out of there, man. You better be done. Rangers. Rangers sting, by the way. Four play featuring Jolakava at the very least. Is he legal?

No, this is perverted. We just love Tigerwood so much. Oh, no, did his audio go out? I'm looking at Joey analyzing the shot without Tiger. I'd love for Tiger to just come up behind him, slap him on the ass and be like, what's up to say? And then we can fucking, we got ourselves a podcast.

We got them! We just hang up. That's the whole. podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, we got them. We got a nice view of, I mean, Briggs is really tied in this thing. You're looking at his thumb right now. There's Tiger.

There's Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods. How we just see our three faces in a Zoom? Ever walk this fucking earth. Tiger Woods is taking an iron. He's stepping down. He's putting the ball into the ground on his teeth. And he's doing it so majestically.

I honestly am like aroused right now. We're looking at. Riggs's crotch right now. Riggs's crotch has now entered the chat. All we can see is Riggs's crotch. Tiber is looking at the ball. He's about the swing. There was.

He striped it. Staring it down. He's hitting another one? It's trying to try. Not good. It's getting another one. It's certainly windy at Harding Park. So Tiger Act.

The trees are massive. Yeah, he hated it. Hated it to the point where I think someone talked to him and they threw up a blade of grass. Yeah, now he's hitting a different club. He's hitting, it looks like a three wood or a five wood, hybrid, something. I don't think Tiger has hybrid, so this must be a wood.

How can you see that? All right, here we go. In his video. Listen for the swing, everyone. Let's just be quiet. Shut up. I'm so sick at go. Is that any good?

Riggs, any insight, if that's any good? About 20 people riding at a great shot. Oh, unreal. There we go, Tiger. All right, go get them, buddy. Go get him, Tiger. Great swing. Good to see you, Tiger.

Great swing, buddy. First one thing I've got to get 30 yards short. Yikes. Got to be a wind-ishout. Yeah, we're just figuring out the course. It's all about learning. That's a Monday swing. Exactly.

Well, it's just a Monday distance. The swing is the swing look great. It's just a Monday distance. Boy, so I had a little bit of a panic there. I thought that if I took the, I took the earpod out because I wanted to pick up all the audio, not just my mouth. So I took the ear pod out there. I don't know if that worked enough.

It did. We heard a little tidbit of you and Joey Lakada, and then we didn't hear anything, but that's fine. Until he'll hit the ball. Can you hear Joey's voice? Yes. Yeah. He's chirping about luncheon.

Love it. All right. Rangers are. We have a couple things in, I mean, the Rangers are an absolute joke. Well, three games. It's over. Whatever happens is, like, you guys play Henrik Conquist.

It's like a farewell tour, and he's getting absolutely dismantles. I'm watching an old man out there. It's crazy. Someone alluded to a future. Or a child. What other points do you have? Just let him do it. Briggs, talk to us about Harding Park, because obviously the side of the PJs and what are

your first thoughts on it? We can't really follow Tiger Woods the whole way or else it's just going to be a couple of blips of swings. So talk to us about what you, you, you, What have you noticed? It's your first time out there. So give us a little break-up. That's a good question.

So first thing I want to say is the trees are fucking huge. Huge. We've all- Yeah, we talked on the show, I think, about how Cypress trees just don't. But the only kind of trees that you just literally can't hit through, not only can get through it, but they just, like, swallow up and steal golf balls, I think. And they're everywhere here. They're fucking massive.

And then the other thing is the rough is so brutal that yesterday, Tiger Woods missed a fairway. I wasn't out here for the practice round, but a couple of guys I was walking with said Tiger missed a fairway about 10 yards, him, Joey, and Robbie Mac couldn't find the golf ball. So the rough is penalizing. You absolutely have to hit fairways. You have to hit fairways, which, you know, I don't know that our guy is necessarily known for that.

He's been hitting, I would say, pretty average performance thus far off the tee. He lost one way right, and then the other ones have been close to fairways or in the fairway. But even if you miss him at like five yards, you're in kind of a lot of, trouble. I've only seen the front nine so far. And, you know, I mean, if you're hitting fairways hitting greens, it's getable. The course isn't crazy, but again, the rough is just absolutely brutal. The greens are perfect. And, um, and the course, I mean, they can kind of have it in what our condition they want. So it's pretty pristine. Um, I think the weather's going to be really nice. It's like 63 right now and a little cloudy, which is kind of northern, classic

northern California. So, so yeah, I mean, it's going to be kind of a class reminds me a little bit of that page in terms of it's just you got to hit fairways it's a classic PGA setup it's tough but it's not like unlike anything we've ever seen before so um so that's kind of my take so far okay it sounds awesome has anybody else played it i played it once has no i've no no so the rigs when you get to the back nine the finish will be one of like the most it's too bad there's not fans there because i believe it's even smaller than bel reeve in terms of the property size It's tiny. So initially it was going to be packed with people,

going to be crazy loud. And the last couple holes look actually out across Lake Merced, I believe, across to a lift. And they're like breathtaking. And also the wind can pick up to an outrageous, at rageous speed. So it can be kind of like a brutal, challenging finish because you literally like turn and go the same direction,

I believe, starting on 14, I think. Yeah. So you're just into it. way about that's a good point about the wind because on the two shot you guys just kind of heard tiger woods hit he uh i mean the wind just picked up right before he teed off and started whipping left to right and into you and it just dramatically changed that shot like i said probably tiger was probably 15 yards short of the green which means he was 25 yards short of the and that's just the win it was like maybe an hour and a half ago it was sunny and perfect and there

wasn't much wind and now it's cloudy it's like a marine layer and it's probably a steady like 15 out our win. That's effective thing. So, so yeah, that's definitely going to play a factor. But I got to tell you, dude, a viewing experience out here. All the guys that I've been walking with, I was, by the way, I walking with Bob Herring. Bob Herrig said hello. He's been very kind. I have not interacted yet with Jeff Shackifer, but he's been around in the same kind of crew. They all walk and chit-chat. Scott Van Pelt's been all over the place in his cart. He's boys with everybody. I mean, He was like, he's all mushy, chit-chatty with, like, the spring break boys, and then with Tiger, and then with, like, Paul Casey's whole crew he's tight with.

They were chit-chatting about the kind of the legitimacy of the major championship, and I heard Paul Casey be like, yeah, I heard people saying they're competing some asterisk, which is ridiculous because it's the same thing we do every week. There's just no fans, so we're still playing the game. So I've been kind of eavesdropping all over the place, but there's a lot of people out here. I've been walking with Herrick, like I said, and Herrick has been very nice. I have to say that. Yeah, you don't have any backup if you get into an anchorman style brawl with some of these golf guys. But let's talk a little bit about what it's like being like one of the few media members out there. Because for the people that don't know, the PGA of America gave out one press credential for the Barcelona sports boys.

Riggs decided to go out there. It's got to be strange being one of the only media members out there. Yeah, you're right. It does suck because I don't know, it's kind of a cranky moment where like we have big fights with a lot of people. But it's cool because I have backup. and now I'm just fucking alone. So if people try to decide to gang up on me, I'm really, I'm not that tough.

I don't have much upper body strength, so it could be a little dicey. But yeah, I mean, the whole thing's weird. I'll say that. Like Tiger Woods playing a practice round at a major championship, and there is legitimately maybe six people around, and I'm one of them, is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

Like, Spieth, Ricky, JT, teed off earlier. and they were just like there was legit nobody around there was no formality to it the three of them teed off and then while they were in the fairway hitting their tee shots like Gary woodland just teed off and almost hit them in the in the rough and then came running up the fairway to like join them and then a match formed and so it's like it's almost like chaos it's like anarchy out here there's just no but but it's fine because there's nobody around there's no fans like get in the way there's no fans to hit with like eric ball as long as he missed those three guys he was fine so all the thing's just bizarre you had to go through some a little bit of like screening and stuff to get it in.

I just got like temperature tested, but it wasn't actually COVID tested because I'm not in the clubhouse and all that. That's separate from the media area. But, but yeah, I think they gave out 25 media credentials, and they went to pretty much each organization and just offered up one.

So unfortunately, that's why the whole crew is not here, but it's, you know, it's bizarre, but I think once the golf starts is going to be really fucking cool because I get to just watch it. and there's no fans that navigate around.

So it should be pretty sweet. It looks fucking awesome. I mean, we're only seeing the trees right now and your body, like the upper body, so we really can't see much of the golf course. But I did a little preview of the course in actually that video game, PGA 2019, the golf club, whatever. And someone built it like they always do and they built it perfectly. And I was stunned how straight, like, because it is a Muni golf course, right?

So it's amazing how straight. front and back, like it's just like very, um, tight fairways and then also just like not much to it. Not many bunk, not many bunkers, just really thick rough, really small fairways and just like a bunker or two around the greens and like not much undulation to the golf course. And like, uh, Lark was saying those finishing holes are like come up on that lake or whatever, but aside from that, it's a pretty just like normal every day. Like you just get your buddies and go play like the local golf course like kind of layout. No?

There's nothing to it. Yeah. And that's pretty much, I mean, again, I know Lurge played it. But there's also, there's a really, really good piece on, I think, PJTor.com posted, like the nine things you need to know about Harding Park. And it's got crazy history where it's, uh, it's very, very old. It's like nearly 100 years old. And then it was host to, I think it's like the San Francisco city amateur or championship.

That is an awesome tournament that, like, Ken Venturi and all these guys back of the day used to battle it out and meant the world for them. And then the course went to such shit that it was used, I think, in 98, as the parking lot for, like, the U.S. Open at Olympic or something like that. And at that point, people got, you know, started to be like, okay, we need to redo this, redid it. And now, you know, it's kind of the crown jewel for public golf around the area. Like you said, it is their best page. It is there like Torrey Pines. And as the common golfers, I think it's very cool.

Lurch knows a lot more probably about the layout because he actually played it. Yeah, I mean, the layout, it's interesting. basically I think there's Fleming that's a little nine holder inside the 18 there's 36 I believe holds but I think there's a part three on the inside but basically the front nine is all

yeah I mean to what you said there's not like a ton to it I do believe when I was so I played with the guy Chase who works for the PJ Martin apart and then this guy Nucks who also works for the BGA and they said that they shrunk pretty much every fairway

by 25 to 30 yards So it would be great, Frankie, if actually somebody built that golf course and then did like a PGA version. I think they did because it was outrageous how thin these fairways were. Really? That would be actually amazing if they did it that way. And then when I played it, and I'm interested to know, like, if they double seed the rough or like what they do or if it's even thicker than like what they plan for it being, because obviously it's several months delayed now from COVID to how thick the rough is because as Riggs walks. It looks thick from what we're looking at right now. looks brutal how bad that is.

But then the finish, like, so you tee off and you tee off and you play like the middle of the course and then the back nine you actually have like a walk to 10. And then you literally just wrap around the hole outside of the course the whole way. There's like the back nine literally just like one hole after another. But it's literally like, you know, package wrap around the inside the front nine. And the cypress trees there are the tallest trees I've ever seen. It's not like your average cypress. they seem like they're triple.

Like you could never get it to the tops of the trees. The trees are fucking huge, dude. Like I noticed because with my Sony, I can really zoom in and take sweet pictures and they look awesome because I zoom all the way out on Tiger. And the trees are like 200 times his size, which I never seen like that before. And then I also, you know,

so it's tricky because usually we're inside the ropes, right? And we're inside the ropes at like the range. And there's a lot of different options because you can just bump into people and it's pre-CO, it wasn't a big deal. Well, now we're all outside the ropes, but it's not as bad because there's no fans.

But I was walking through a car path with the players because there's no fans. The players go wherever the fuck they want. Like, they're not worried about bumping into all crowds and stuff. So I just turned the corner and there's kids just carrying his own bag around the golf course. And I like, you know, I didn't want to like go knock him up or whatever because they're in the bubble.

So I just was like, hello, Kevin. Hi. And he's like, I was like, why are you carrying your own fucking bag? I pull out my phone and take a picture. He's all embarrassed. And he was like, Dewey can't get his test results back or something. So I've actually seen like a handful of players carrying their own bags. I guess they've got to wait for the caddies to get COVID test results and stuff. Of course, you know, one of the only ones that couldn't raise those back.

When you got on site, did they say anything about like, do not get close to the players. They're in the bubble. We don't want any sort of breach of COVID. Like don't touch them. Don't go near them. Anything like that? Yeah. I mean, that's pretty much the MO.

That's why it's going to be tricky. it's going to be different than what we're able to usually do. You've got to get a little creative. But yeah, there's no range access, so you can't go on the range. There's no direct interview access. They have, like, kind of the pop-up thing that they always have, but you're several, several feet away. And there's only four reporters allowed in there at a time that are kind of asking questions and stuff.

So it's first-come, first-serve, which I'm sure it's going to be a battle to get in there. So long story short, there's essentially no way to touch or directly interact with the players. you guys can kind of see my badge right now and blowing in the wind so shout out the lurch was right about the windfall but yeah i mean it's it's it is everybody's it's it's like there's the clubhouse and then unless unless you're part of the bubble that's been tested and everything you can't go in the clubhouse which is where the player locker rooms are and where kind of essential personnel are and then we kind of the media crew are not subject to that kind of testing we just did we just do the temperature thing, which I don't really know how much stock I put into the temperature test.

I don't know. But yeah, and then they grill you a little bit, you know, like, where'd you come from? How many, you know, have you had any contact with anyone that's had COVID symptoms of you? So it's kind of like standard screening stuff, nothing too rigorous. I mean, I got in. So it can't be that bad. And, and yeah, outside of that, it's been, I walked Bryson hit balls for a little bit. Boy, is he, remember, we saw him in Australia and we could.

couldn't imagine how big he was. He is unrecognizable in person from then. He is fucking massive, man. He is like, he looks as ridiculous as you would guess he looks, but he was pounding the ball. People were starting to gather and watch him hit balls. I saw Maddie Fitz. He was over there working on the short game.

So, yeah, I mean, the guys are here. They're getting geared up. They feel like they're pretty, you know, into the tournament. JT's number one in the world. What a finish that was over in Memphis, by the way. That was, congratulations to Frankie. Is he bragged about that yet? No, not yet.

No, we haven't really jumped into that. I think we're going to get into that next. Well, before we got into that, I was going to talk about I had Owens mixers all day today. Burrell is got batting. I was drinking Owens mixers. I was drinking my new hamster and vodka. Today was actually the first day my dad tried to drink.

And he is hooked now. I mean, he legitimately was having an Owen's mixer transfusion. Uh-oh. Oh, Frankie frozen. Truly, you froze for a second.

You're good now. You're back, yeah. I just got the, your internet connection is unstable. Honestly, the way they write that on the Zoom thing, they should just write dot bitch or like comma, bitch period.

Like, it's crazy how mean they are when you're, like, what am I supposed to do? I don't know how the internet works. Literally firing these signals into space right now and having it come back

and I'm hoping that I can connect with you guys do the internet. Frankie, you're back, the video of your father. drinking a transfusion and then hitting a Frankie chip was an all-time moment. So he's getting absolutely dragged on the internet for wearing these like black slipper shoes and cargo court.

And I want to speak up for the Frankie Borrelli brand. Listen, we're not the best looking. We're not the best dressed. The guy is a workhorse and he is absolutely just grinding these days. He came straight from the restaurant. He's got 200 people coming in and getting food. He didn't have time to get his shoes. I'm like, he's like, oh, should I get my shoes?

I'm like, let's just go on the golf course. You got these regular shoes. on let's just drive around, let's relax, calm down. You don't need a chain. Of course, the first thing people are saying is, what are those? So he's getting introduced to the internet a little bit. But yeah, really bad chip. Really, really, really bad chip.

But the drink was good. And his commercial is just all time. For anyone who doesn't see it, just go on my Twitter. I mean, it's just the way he does the after the drink. It just makes it sound like the most refreshing drink of all the time, which it is. It really is. The commercial king is one of the best names ever heard. If you noticed being quiet for a second,

but you really should go get Owens to go trying to transfusion. I went to mixers.com. It's going to look in. We'll get a phone shot over here. Oh, wow. There's Tiger Woods. Yeah, I should walk this way. Shout to, what was that, ECDC?

Arrow Smith. Shit. And run DMC? It's just Arrowsmith. Oh, fuck. I'm going to be quiet. What hall are you? Edwards just took a practice swing

and he stepped up like Tiger Woods does to the ball. I can see Robbie Mac out there too. There's the swing again. Did you hear it? Oh, my God, he's so sick. That rough looks terrible. Yeah, it was bad when I was there. That looks like, that looks impossible to get out. That guy's feet is disappearing as he walks through it.

Briggs is now ground level. We're now looking at the rough. It's incredibly thick. Not geo brought to you by race. The Westinger is too, which is impossible to like, you guys can't understand what we mean by this because you're not watching it. But like from our vantage point right there on the side. side, you legitimately couldn't see Tiger Woods' feet from the fairway. So the rough was higher

from our angle on the side than like hit the top of his shoes, which is crazy to me. Yeah. It also looks thick and clumpy. It looks horrible if you're in there. It's brutal. All the, all the journals, you know, the big jays and walking away. They're all talking about it. People love the hype up the left. So it is going to be brutal. You can't really miss fairways. You're going to be fucked. We'll have a lot more, I think, Wednesday, Thursday show, I guess. will do a lot more kind of PGA championship preview. But, man, what a finish at TBC Memphis. We had JT with a stacked leaderboard.

I think there were five guys at one point tied for the lead late down the stretch. Broch de Kepka, who was our guy Cecil, a hilarious Canadian guy who had the worst picks a long time. And then came back and picked him. He picked Berkskept. It looked like he was going to win. He had like a two-front lead at one point, I believe. And then J.T.

hits a couple wild two shots. One of them he pulled so far that he ended up beating him like 80 yards out, hit a wedge tight and made birdie. Frankie's been picking him every week, I think, since the beginning of the restart. So congratulations to Frankie, but Yeah, well, I don't want to just skip right over that.

I know you're at Hardy Park and you were trying to roll through this whole thing. I don't want to just skip right over that. I am the only person to guess the winner. Oh, no, I'm not. You got Bryson. That's just incorrect. That was about to flex on you guys. You know what? I'm a rock. I sent them a little message on Instagram. I got a nice little like.

I got a nice little heart on it. It's a JT. way to fucking go. We did it. Like it's like it's a pairing. It's a team thing. What do you think about people who use likes as responses? I think it's like I don't want to talk to you,

but I acknowledge that you sent me the message because anyone can just like unread the message, right? You can hit that. You have that option to like you quickly look at it and then you can hit like unread. Really? That's psychopath stuff. I don't think everybody's doing that. Oh yeah.

You can unread a message. It goes back to your unread. Now, I don't know if it unreads. That sounds like a fight with a girlfriend if you're going to do that, like, dumb stuff. Like, you just like it is so easy. You look at it, double tap, on you go. You got to figure out every way. I mean, whatever.

We just all know the internet and like, you just got to find your way to do in and out of things. That's true. Definitely an option on the internet. I mean, even when like a guy messaged you something like, oh, like, hey, Frankie, what's going on? I have a really good idea. And then you click on it. It's like, you should fucking stop being such a stupid. You don't want to give them the time of day so you unread it.

I don't know if it. goes on their end is my point. Maybe it's just for you to let you know that you feel like almost like... It does. It does. Read it like mail. Oh, so it does. So we got the confirmation.

It does take it away from them. It doesn't get them the size of that. My point being, me and JT connected, even though it was just a little heart. And I am rolling with this guy. I want my stats to be JT's stats. And right now I have a win. And Justin Thomas is an absolute NALS motherfucking. Just the way that he can finish up, like the way that he finished up 16, 17, 18,

and he just won that golf tournament. No one was taking it from him. Brooks kept coming. made a surge, but Justin Thomas was not letting that thing go. He looks great with the trophy in his photo afterwards. Everyone with that trophy looks good. It's a great trophy. Yeah, it is a good trophy.

A really good trophy. And I'm very happy for Justin Thomas. I think that he is going to have a massive, massive run here during these majors. No, it was a big one because he let it get away from it, the workday, remember. He had a three shot lead with three holes to go, ends up in a playoff with Morikawa, the huge putts, and then ends up losing to Morikawa. And he said that in his interview with Amanda Ballionis. afterwards. He was like, that workday loss is going to stick with me for the rest of my life.

But as a great player, which he is, I learned from those losses and I applied them for when he's in contention like he was yesterday. His dude, Riggs, I know you tweeted about it, but his drive on 15, the fact that we don't have video evidence of that where he basically hooks it left, which is where you definitely cannot go. But there is a carpath over there that he hits and it bounces way in front towards the green. And they showed it on the graphic. He was the only red dot that far up the fairway close to the green. And the reason was because he hit the cart bath and they just didn't have video footage of it. Might have been the shot of the day.

Might have won his one in the tournament because he birdied 15, birded 16 with another couple of crazy shots. But the fact that we can't see that drive on 15 drives me crazy. Yeah. And it wasn't like it was hard to catch. He was the leader of the tournament. So like, you know, like if there's ever a time where you're going to be filming somebody, it's when they're leading the tournament.

I don't know how the camera guy, like they did have some footage of them, but the fact that they missed that golf ball. And then all we have is the result in a red fucking dot that they showed us was such a surprising reality. So that pissed me off about the coverage. But you're right. I mean, J.T. is a stone cold killer. He, um, if you recall, it was weird at the workday because he had that ballsy eagle that he made. Um, when other guys were struggling on whatever it is 15 maybe at Mirrofield. Yeah.

Um, he had that ballsy eagle. and we're all like tournament over and then Morikawa made a couple sweet parties and J.T. didn't hit them great shots or it was like, yeah, he did kind of struggle, made a couple bogies coming in, but I thought he again had kind of that JT, like he's got that killer instinct

type feel to it, even though he lost, and he made that 50-foot putt that he thought he was going to win the tournament on and he ended up not winning in. So he's got, man, he's number one in the world. Again, he's always fucking up there. It sucks that it comes to the time when Frankie's picking him everything.

week because it gives Frankie a lot more credibility, I think, that he probably deserves. But JT is an absolute killer. And I want to say I texted him and I got just a like on the text, which I think is way worse than the DM like. Yes. So I wasn't happy about that. Because you got already on a personal level with the text messaging. So he like almost has to answer you at that point.

Yeah. I mean, it is a major week. We should probably let him feel a little bit. But, you know, the like is still a response. because, I mean, it feels like they didn't do anything after he won, and then the next thing I see him, he's hitting balls at Harding Park. Justin Thomas is going to win a major this year.

Yeah, it's not a crazy claim. Yeah, you're doing this. You're doing what I did when I took the, you gave shit to me for picking the favor of that tournament. Yeah, Bryson, and then you were down my throat, and now you're saying, well, I got something to say. I think number one player is going to win a major. Like, whoa.

Hang on now. Hang on now. This isn't like a, I'm not like guessing. I'm stating a fact. I'm just so that we can go back and be like, oh, yeah, like Frankie said that fucking six weeks ago. Like, this is just a fact that's going to happen. We all know it. I'm not breaking any news.

Justin Thompson is going to win a major this year. I will say it was insane down the stretch. He's just better than everyone else right now. Yeah, he's number one in the world. Right. He's going to win a major. I'm not out John Rom. There was no noise that played before I said that.

I wasn't alerting the authorities in the press. No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now you're backtracking because if you go back and listen to the audio, you go, there was like a pause and then you go, Justin Thomas is going to win a major this year. Like, okay, Frankie. I'm just as confident in the Rangers losing their fucking first series

right now against Carolina as I am against Thomas winning a major league. No, the Rangers will lose. That's a certainty. They look like a JV high school team. Yeah, R-XPA. What an absolute joke of a franchise you guys have. Oh, my God, please. Like, you guys are so special.

We're not a hockey podcast. We don't have to talk about that. Rangers look bad. I owners look average. Who cares? On to the next. John Rom's number one in the world status. Two weeks.

Hell of a run. You know, he tasted it for a little bit. I'm sure he'll get back there again eventually. But two week run, it feels like it's, I mean, he wouldn't want to not have that two week run, but it feels kind of shitty. All right. So Jake just sent us this picture.

So as we were recording the podcast, you guys can now all see what it looked like because Riggs was caught in a photo behind Tiger Woods on T.W. Spot Instagram, so Tiger Wood Spot Instagram. You can actually see where Riggs was standing and he's holding the camera for the podcast. Dude, that is amazing. That's going to be the promo. That'll be the promo pick for the five years. It has to be the promo. I mean, that's perfect. Oh my God. Is that good. Are you, Riggs, by the, since bringing that up, are you now conscious this week? Because like you said,

There's no fans. There's very few media members. You might be able to be a TV star this week. So it's crossed my mind to, you know how they post their scripting? Tiger scripting is out there? Yes. It crossed my mind to just order every outfit the Tiger's going to wear and dress exactly like them and then just stand next to them on all the T-boxes because you guys be able to see me on TV.

So, you know, I'm thinking about doing something like that. But yeah, like there's no fans to blend in with. So I'm going to just be visible all the time. And to be honestly, even right now, there's so few people out here that I'm like, worried Tiger can hear me talking because you should go with the boy. You should dress like a cypress tree and just move around. I was trying to think. What would be the best winning to dress as this week for Riggs to draw the most attention?

Obviously the red and the black. That might be number one if you did that because people would be like, look at this crazy tiger fan. But wait, there's no fans out there. How is there a crazy tiger fan? Oh, and then old hugs, you'll have a fucking heart attack. If he goes, it's rigs and it's all over. But what's the other outfits you could wear?

I don't know. Yeah. You know, I could just dress like a big tiger. Like some of those guys do that go to the actual tournaments. But we've got to come up with some crafty ideas. I do think I'll be incredibly visible no matter what. And I will say what I usually dress like is I usually dress like a guy wearing Peter Malar that wants to be really comfortable and classy and stylish all the time.

And so I'm definitely throughout the week going to be geared up in Peter Malarm. I got this new order. I'm showing you guys right now. But I got this new order of it. I think they're called like the Shackleford shorts, which, you know, it's funny that we kind of absolutely dominated Shackleford. And now he's, you know, they're calling the shorts that we're going to wear after him. That's fine.

It's almost like a memorial. But they're Shackleford shorts. I'm a gigantic fan of those. Peter Mular.com slash four at summertime. People need to be rocking comfortable and classy shorts. So that's what I recommend. I also got this Perth pullover on that we outfitted the entire mostly 560 with, as well as one of their cotton.

one of the performance teas. So Piedamwater.com slash really good thing. Yeah, it really is just a good. You have some junk in your trunk too. Your ass is popping in that Tiger Woods photo. I mean, there's something going on with those shorts. Is it really?

See, I can't look at it because I can't pull zoom off because I'm on my phone, whereas you guys can look at it. You're telling me my caboose looks good. Yeah, it's just a good look. I mean, you can see the shorts are popping. It's a crazy good picture, like with the fog and the background, the cypress trees are all, like, you can totally tell. And then Tiger Woods is just

finishing a perfect swing. It's literally just literally filming him for our Zoom. It's incredible. It's Joe, Akama, Tiger Woods, and you. That's it. But that was quite literally the hole that he was doing the Zoom on, which is crazy that they already have that up. Ah, what a world. I'm so glad that happened. Yeah, that is a little look behind the scenes. That's what I was doing. I was, it's tough too, because I can't, I couldn't tell if you guys could see, if you guys can see, if you guys can tire particularly well and I didn't want to pull the phone up and I didn't want to be too obvious because Joey and Lobby are just fucking right there looking at me. So I'm glad it worked out. But yeah, petermalar.com slash four. That's how you get yourself looking good. That's how you get

the best of parallel again. Go check out Peter Malar. We love you very much, Peter Malar. All right, we got to talk about Bryson de Chambot boys. Bryson had a couple things happen this past week. I think the first one we should talk about is he requested a drop. He requested a little bit of maybe the most outrageous drop request in the history of golf from a dangerous situation due to ants, due to fire ants, and he was very serious about it. He just keeps delivering that came out of this, all the Zoolander stuff. Like, what is this a golf course for ants? Looking at one of the little fucking models.

Brooks chirping him later was just the best thing I've ever seen. I know we say this all the time about people who, I don't know, they do things that make them be in the spotlight, but we say that they're doing it on purpose to get headlines. And I know that Bryson has since, you know, in the past said, like, I don't want the camera on me. I'm worried about my brand.

But it really feels like to make a wild request like that, it feels like it's on purpose about the fire ants. Like you can't, he knows the camera's there. So for him to be like, oh, yeah, I want to drop away from the fire, it's because it's a dangerous situation. That's fucking absurd. Absurd. And then to make a claim, it's like he's oblivious to everything.

It's like, dude, they're ants. Are you out of your mind? Are you honestly out of your mind? And then I thought you were going to go the Brooks Kepka route because it's like, did he know his own film or is he just having a loud? Oh, he know. Addie? Like, I don't know where he stood, but he, I mean, I saw your tweet,

Tran, he is just the king of trolls. I mean, it's so good. Bryson knew he was on camera, but I also think that made him kind of like tense up a little bit. You could tell that he realized at one point he was on camera and that this was about to be another media shitstorm because he's asking for the most ridiculous animal holes that were caused by ants. I mean, this is just Brady. And the guy who comes over, like the rules official, is struggling so hard to like, because it's such an awkward situation.

You have to tell Bryson like, no, you're wrong. What you see is incorrect. And you don't want to do that like an asshole. So he's like, yeah, you know, I just don't see these ants. And I think at that moment, Bryson knew he was in one. And he's like wanted to kind of back up because he goes, okay, okay. And then again, he's like, he just couldn't let it go. And he points.

He goes, see, there's one right there actually. So before you were there. There's an ant right there that just came out of the ground. An ant right there. And the guy's like, where? And he's like, ah, you must have missed it. But it was a big one right there. And I'm pretty sure, Frankie, that rules official that came over to him to help him with the ant

situation was the same guy who helped him with the fence situation at Memorial. So he's got to be over there on extra egg shells being like, all right, we had the disagreement at Memorial about the fence. Now what are we talking about over here? And as soon as Bryson's like, well, there's ants over here, he's got to be like, you got to be, you're kidding me. You got to be fucking kidding me. But then, yeah, I think Brooks knew, like when Brooks makes that chirp, he knows that he's on

camera. Brooks knows what he's doing. It's very funny. I mean, we've gone back and forth on Brooks. who's gone back and forth on Bryson as many times as you can. But Brooks just, he has Bryson in the palm of his hand and knows how to troll him so well because he knows Bryson takes that stuff super seriously.

So I'm on team Bryson in terms of trolling Bryson every single week because it's so goddamn fun of it. Yeah, I mean, speaking of the devilangeloader, we've got Brooks kept hitting a chip shot right in front of me right now. But Brooks, I will say, Brooks's new, his pole just identity. we have gone back and gone on a million times. I'm obsessed with it now.

The fact that he's just trolling, the fact that he had that tweet yesterday where he trolled himself about coming in Hot to Harding Park considering the fact that he just went double or a birdie double to finish the tournament. Like, I'm just into it. I think it's very cool.

I think that he nails it most of the time. I think that he's spot on and has picked a new favorite target in Bryson D. Shambot because it's a perfect combination of a guy who like gets legitimately riled up on it and it like affects bryson to his core and brooks is just firing off trolls here and there that i don't think he really cares that much about um so that whole dynamic and the fact the two of them the two of them are some of the best players in the world um it's just cool it's good

for golf because you don't usually get that kind of shit uh but yeah and then the other thing bryson had was the quote where he said he plans to live to be 130 or 140 or so first of all i love that i love that rigs just had to walk kind of away because he's talking about Brooks literally 10 feet away from Brooks Keppka. This is such a unique, ridiculous podcast that we're recording right now. Like, we're giving our dumb little fucking podcast takes and you're just standing there at the golf course, like looking at Brooks. We're like, yeah, you know, I actually think Brooks Kefka is giving in hot.

Like, like talk about. Brooke Kebka, like, he doesn't know what you're talking about underneath that mask, too. So you're just like staring at him giving takes on a wildly like popular podcast. That's going to be like, people are going to be listening to your takes about him. And he's like looking at you, do it. It's like, self-conscious. I'm like, especially too, like a lot of these guys that roll, like his team that rolls with them, they don't have anything to do. They're just like looking around and I'm the only fucking person around and I'm on a phone with my phone.

Because I'm running out of fucking juice with a mask. I look like a psychopath. And I mean, I'm sure that they're just like, yeah, that's Briggs who does the fucking podcast. So trying to walk away. I feel like a fucking weir-up. So Bryson is left planet Earth and he thinks that he's going to, he's going to, and we've talked about this a little bit actually. We were on Friday night Pines with KFC. And also, I don't know if you can hear these cicadas in Long Island right now.

No. Oh, is it the year of the cicada? Don't they only come every 17 years? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, it may not be a cicada then because the way you said that, I think that's true. I think they only come certain years. Yeah, I think it's eight years. They were the year of my brother's graduation.

They were disgust. Anyway, stupid noise. We were on Friday night Pints of KFC radio, and it's just funny how, So obviously golf has more eyeballs right now because it was the first sport back and they're doing it the right way and the majors are coming up and it's been all these tournaments coming down to the wire. Big names winning. Bryson's a fucking lunatic. But like he's really gotten like the average sports fan to pay attention and like, well not the average sports fan, but like not a golf fan. So like KFC parcel is a huge fucking Mets, Jets, and it's all he cares about.

And then all of a sudden he's talking about Brooks Kepka. I mean, Bryson D. DeCampo during his Friday night pites thing. Because he's taking these headlines that aren't have nothing to do with golf now. Bryson Dichambeau says he's going to live till he's 130, 140 years old because of his new workout routines and his new way of thinking, he likes to take his way of thinking about his body, not just on the golf course, but in his way of life. And he's got guys like KFC being like, I fucking love this guy. Look at him.

He's going to change the world. And that drives me nuts that people think that this guy has any validity to what he's saying. He like hits the golf ball kind of different and he uses these weird fucking golf club. and he's getting Jack because he's drinking 19 fucking protein shake a fucking day. And he has a psychotic break like seven months ago and he can't stop working out. So like he's not going to live until he's 130. He's actually probably going to do the opposite, honestly. Like he's just going to run himself to the fucking bone and his heart's going to explode.

Because he can't get any bigger. You think these guys are going to live until he's 130 years old? Bro, I made this point. Do you know how many rich successful, like wildly rich people have died in recent years? that they could have, any amount of technology and money would have saved them. Like any amount of money would have saved them. And you're telling me that Bryson D. Chambos is going to be the first guy that cracks death? No, you're right.

He's left planet Earth because what you're saying is right. He's like, look, I looked at the game of golf and I cracked it. I know how to hit the ball further. I already want a tournament. It's clearly working. So now if someone, it doesn't necessarily have to be me, Bryce and D. Chambot, but if someone takes my curiosity and my ingenuity, and applies it to human life, there's no reason why we can't live to 130 and 140.

And shout it to our producer, Jake, because I think he was the first one who pointed this out when this quote came out. It's Ricky Bobby. That's the Ricky Bobby quote. He's like, he's like, he's like with my high level of income and the advanced modern science, there's no telling, there's no reason why we can't live to be 230 years old. Like the fact that Bryson D. Chambot, a guy who, he's smart, there's no, nobody denies that he's smart. But the fact that he is basically quoting Ricky Bobby exactly, that's just kind of, where we're at in 2020. It's just,

he's also borderline lunatic. He's got, like, these ideas, like these grade school ideas where it's like, well, if you just, like,

if you stuff the fattest kid in the hockey net, like, they'll never score. If you just drive the ball further than everybody, on the green and one, like you'll win the golf tournament.

He's kind of like acting out these like grade school kind of like, like, you know, lunch table debate. And now he's just going to say he's going to live to 130. And none of them really makes sense or,

or potentially pan out because, I mean, I hope his golf continues. to be great because he's played great, but, like, chances are he'll get injured, you know, and it's just, I mean, yes, he's smart, but he's also borderline, like, so disconnected with reality and how people think and the world that he's also, like, borderline lunatic. So it's, it's, he's very interesting. And yeah, he's captivating for the average fan that's not, like, in tune with golf and just

sees the headlines. It's like, yeah, I mean, people, it's messed up, but people watch, like, and maybe this is the perfect analogy, but people watch car crash, you know. like people look at things that are nuts. And my son is kind of acting on the nutty line. This quote, that quote, the one about living to 130 to 140 years old, it finally cracked Justin Thomas. Like for the most part, I think, like the other players on tour,

they have only complimented him, right? They've said, yeah, it's amazing what he's been able to do. He hits it further than everybody else. He hits his traitor than everybody else. And that is the recipe for success. You rarely have seen almost nobody say, like, the things that he's doing and the shit that he's spewing is kind of crazy. and I actually don't subscribe to it.

But after that quote about... What's that? Shit he's been doing and the shit he's been spewing. Whoa. Go off, King. Wow. Yeah. But then this finally...

Yeah. This finally broke Justin Thomas, who quote tweeted the quote and said, what in the hell are you even talking about, dude? And added Bryce and Schambo. And I think that's a good sum up of like the Bryson D. Shambo experience. What the hell are you talking about?

Dude, so my favorite thing, too, about that tweet is that, so you guys just got the double tap like. he actually went into that photo and highlighted his Bryson's quote within the picture as well and it is. I mean, it's like what, I mean, dude, we're fine. You know, you're growing the game. You're helping other fans watch and everything. But I mean, let's not be crazy here. This 130, 140 line is just like, yeah, I'm going to live through a thousand. You hit, you're like big golf. Yeah. What do we do with him? It's like he went, it's like he went from saying, you know, I've really, I'm going to work on gain in another 10 yards. And then I'm also, I think

I can cure cancer and you're just like, wait, what the, what did you just say, dude? Like, 130. That is, it is. It's Ricky Bobby. It's like, it's wedding crashes when it's like, we might as well go as, you know, the most ridiculous shit you could possibly imagine to the wedding instead of like, no, we're trying to do something realistic here, dude. So the whole thing is it just doesn't really make sense.

And it's kind of like the fact that all of it is coming from the same guy who beefed up, who's hitting the ball a million miles, who's now winning golf. tournaments who's also doing the one-length irons who now also claims he's going to live to be 140 is just that last part is going to me that'll never not make me laugh he's like yeah where's the ben hogan had his irons are all the same length he beefed up and he's going to live to 150 years old like okay sure it's just but if you zoom out and i know like we sort of have to have two two brains going on at once one you have to look at it and be like that is patently ridiculous

Everything that you do, for the most part, is patently ridiculous. But then we're on a golf podcast right now, and it really just couldn't be any better. Like having him do something crazy every week is the best part of every week. A lot of distance talk right now. We're talking Bryson. We get all kinds of distance. You're going to need to hit a far. It's chilly out here.

You don't want to gamble, man. You can't gamble with your yardage. You cannot gamble with yardage. You need to know that thing. You need to be locked in and be dialed in. But you don't want to spend a fortune, right? Like this is a common man show. You don't want to be spending $4,500 on a rangefinder.

$199. You can get the blackjack from pinned gall. All right. This thing, it's got HD screen. That's right. When you look in there, it's HD. You've got the slope option if you want it. It doesn't rely on batteries.

It sucks when your rangefinder runs out of batteries. You're trying to buy one. You can't buy one in the pro shop. It's just got a USB charger. Okay? So USB charger. You get yourself a phenomenal rangefinder. It's just $199.

Use the code forward play. So go to pin to golf. Use the code foreplay. You're going to get yourself free shipping. You're going to get a free hardcover case. You're going to get a free little poker chip ballmarker thing from PIN golf. You're welcome. So use that code for play.

Get yourself a good range finder. Don't go spend a ton of money on one of the high-end ones because this thing is as good as any of those, except it's $199 bucks. Pinnedgolf.com code for play. You're welcome. He's proven that on your average PGA tour stop, his game plan and what he's done has worked. I do think a lot of the reason you kind of mentioned earlier that, you know, people haven't made fun of them, right? Like, JT was kind of the first guy to be like, all right, all right.

Yeah, everybody's praising them. But I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about, man? And I think a lot of that reason is because it's working. Like even kids was giving them credit. We mentioned those quotes where kids said, you know, maybe need some kids or something and then back it up by saying, you know, kudos to him. Like, I'm not spending that time to get that much better and gain yardage so that I can, you know, pick up strokes in the field and win more tournaments. So good for him. everybody's been positive. And I think that reason is because he's been successful. Like it's

work. He's hitting it straight. Brandl talked about it and, you know, in great detail about how he's hitting it long. He's hitting it straight. And when you do that, it's going to be very difficult, you know, to not be in contention and not win a decent amount of the time. And now this is the thing, right? Like Bryson has horrible stats in major championships. He has like almost no top 10 finishes and really has never threatened in a major championship ever. And here we are. It's major championship. week. It's the PGA. The rough is brutal. So if he bombs the ball, but he's not hitting it as straight as he needs to, then he's going to really, really struggle. And he has struggle in majors. So, um, so, you know, if he has a really bad performance this week combined with the fact

when he just said he's going to live in the 140 years old, like it could be time to pile on to Bryce. I love to get a giggle out of threat every time. I mean, you have to. I mean, when he's like, yeah, I'm going to gain, you know, 10, 15 yards and I'm still going to be able to hit it straight. It's backed up because he's working out. He's got protein shakes. But like, Just to say like, you know, like I'm going to stack my fingers and get a ham sandwich. It's like, well, no, that's not real. You can't just say like, oh, I'm going to live to 140. I'm going to jerk.

I'll put it this way. He called it outside the lines a little bit on that one. Like he's everything else, he's inside the lines. He's like, yeah, I'm going to be able to hit the ball further. That's all great. It's all in the golf world. And then as soon as you're like immortality, it goes outside the lines. Like that's a little too far.

Say 110. Say 105. Say 110. Give me something that's someone on the fringe, are believable? Yeah, we're going to make a big tropical storm this way. I bet you Frankie's going to get dumped on if he's outside the next 10 minutes. Frankie on Friday Night Pines, we talked about,

what was the oldest person in the world right now? Well, John McCain's mom's still alive. She was like 109 or something like that. Yeah. But I think maybe like 123. What? Yeah. And like the gym is like, oh, they keep dying off.

So it's like it changes like every day. Right, of course. One of the funnier things that really got me, and I'm always like a big picture the scenario type person, so I make these like scenarios in my head, and I picture Bryson DeCambeau sitting down and being like, all right, guys, like we're on a role, right? Like, he's talking to his team, right? He's like, we're on a role right now, all right? Like, we're getting this fucking ball to go further than ever.

Like, let's tackle the real shit now. And they're all like, what is he? Let's fucking live until we're 130, 140 years old. And they're all like, let's. fucking go, dude. Like, let's go. Like, they're all sitting around. Like, let's go, Bryce, and you're going to do it. Because one of his quotes was, like, I've always had these

ideologies or whatever wording he is, but I never was able to meet the type of people that I've met now. So I feel like he's walking into rooms and, like, wearing suits and crossing his legs and be like, let me ask you a question here. I've had this idea about living to 130 years old. Like, you think that I could do that? And they're like, absolutely. Like, let's give us money. Let's get funding.

I'm on. Like, there's just a bunch of yes men for Bryson. The same people that are going, going go, go, go, go. When he's in that video where he's hitting the long drives into that net, are the same people telling him he can live until he's 130 years old. We need someone like, Justin Knox, to call up, Bryson, be like, dude, put the phone down, like stop, or do whatever you want on, like, a free time, but like, stop making your brand. Stop making your brand, the guy that's going to change the world.

You're only going to come back to fuck you. It's that famous Fire Fest quote where the guys were like, let's just do it and be legends. That's the Fire Festival quote. Those are all of Bryson B. Shambos friends. Let's just live to 130 years old. Let's just do it and be legends. Like, no, buddy. It is spot on because when I was over there earlier,

I was trying to, you know, get in and get a look, get some eye contact. And it's his whole crew, they've all got the Puma hat on with the P on it, you know. And they're all just like surrounding Bryson and like everything he says, they're giggling at. Like every idea he comes up with, they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're just egging him on. he's got no no people right like he's going to no one that's going to step up and be like yo dude

like that's a fucking horrible idea you cannot you cannot translate and try to like take your talents as a professional golfer to um we're going to extend humanity's lifespan by 50 years like that's just not something that you're going to be able to do and nobody's going to tell him that it's just all fucking yesman around that guy and that's why you get the result like the only by the time like there's no vetting process. So by the time, like, all of these ideas in his head have been vetted by his buddies and they all agree. And then by the time they get to the public eye, that's the first time he hears that

his ideas are ridiculous. Right. He can't handle the reaction. I think that's astute. He doesn't even need, like, a no guy. He needs to just like, yeah, maybe we want to internalize that one. Maybe you just don't want to let that one go out in the public. But that's a no to Bryson.

That is telling Bryson no. Like, hey boss, no. your new 140 thing like we do like 85 that's how long we live still not like 140 that's not even close why would you even want to live until you're 140 years old unless he looks like bryson de chanbo like now just like with wrinkly skin then like what you want to just be like walking around like i'm doing it right if you're doing it i'm still alive if you're just if you're just extending the years from like 80 to 140 then i don't want that like i you're you're just you're making the same suffering longer. But if I can be, you know, if I'm 55 and then I'm that way when I'm

130, I'll do that. But I don't want to just extend the suffering. Right. If he just looks like a nice, like, just a touch of gray when he's like 110. Yeah. I'll sign up for that. If I could still golf at 100, no problem. But if I'm in a fucking wheelchair, like you're wheeling me around just like to like, you're bringing me to the White House. It's like, oh, he's fucking 130. Bryson's doing it. It's like, like he lifts up his arm like George Bush at the fucking baseball game. You ever see that one? Oh yeah. And the, and the, they're just like, hey, and everyone goes fucking crazy. Baseball. Braison shows up to the fucking, like, 200th installment of the U.S. Open, and he just fucking lifts up a golf ball and he just, like,

the place goes fucking crazy. The Pete, what, or what Bracin needs, he needs us. It would be great if he would become friendly with us again. It would come on our show and just pitch us all of his ideas. Just start pitching us ideas, and we'll say yes or no. I know he's man? Where do you think he stands on the four play pod right now? You know, I think he gets, I think it gets to him. I think a lot of this stuff gets to him, which is fair. And we fucking talk to Bubba Watson, and that shit got to me, too,

where it's like these guys are human beings. And I think a lot of the criticism gets to them, just like it gets to us and just like it gets to everyone, even in like your fucking cubicle if someone says something about you, it's going to affect the way you work. And I think this guy is fueled to constantly, constantly prove that, like, he's doing things to the world and, like, the game.

so stop talking about like that one time he argued with this caddy or the one time he yelled at the camera guy like look what i'm doing over here but it's like dude you can just be who you are and no one's gonna give a fuck like the reason why everyone you're constantly like us like our podcast we're constantly talking about you and making fun of these things is because you're doing stuff like this like if you were just hitting bombs and just being you and like being like a dick to the camera guy whatever we just wouldn't like whatever you just don't like it's just you're just a regular guy it's just who your brand is you're just an awesome dude that bombs a bomb's a guy and just being you're just an awesome dude that bombs a guy and you're just ball. But, like, I think that his stance on it right now is that, like, we, I think we get to him. I think he's probably pissed off. I think he's probably, like, fuck those guys. They don't have my back. I agree with that. I agree with that. I think that, yeah, I think that, like, him budying up to us when we got, you know, Frankie chipping lessons on the range and he came on the podcast and all that fun stuff. I think to him, that was us being like, we're in your corner. And when you're in Bryson's corner, you're the yes man that we just talked about. And he didn't see it. as like you can be in his corner or or you can you can be buddy buddy and you can have a good

with him but you can also like chirp him and criticize him right like he seems to take things pretty personally and I don't think that we mean anything really personally except for a couple guys here and there like usually we just bust ever we make fun of each other a lot we make fun of golfers a lot and usually the guys that we're closest with are the guys that can take it like when his comes on 75% of the conversation is start to drastically roasting each other and busting each other's balls, same type of interaction on social. And I just don't think that Bryson sees it that way. And the minute that we say something that he takes is negative or critical, we're like out.

And I think that's pretty much what happened. So I think for the time being, like, I think we're outside the surface. I haven't meant one thing I've said on this podcast. Not one, not a single thing. So if he takes that stuff seriously, that's on him. You know what? I think that's true. I mean, I've gotten into some heated debates on this where I actually, like, have pretty legitimate stances on it.

Like the game of golf, like country club attire, all that bullshit. Oh, that's true. Like, I think, I think you're right. Like, at the end of the day, we're just, I'm just trying to think of words to put together. So, like, at the end of the day, I just, like, I said some shit on here, right? Like, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. Well, I definitely agree. Seriously, it's crazy.

I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. And you know what? people are going to clip this and just constantly replay that. I was just thinking of that. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I'm a 26-year-old kid that plays fucking shitty golf in Long Island. You think I know anything about fucking Bryson D. Chambot's life and the way he plays a game of golf? No, I just watch it on TV and I go out and shank fucking wedges.

Come on, Bryson. We're just talking golf here. Come on. Yeah. I think that, like, that's like should be in our four-play, you know, bio on our, on our social accounts is like we don't mean anything that we said we like pretty much have we have no real conviction like we're just out here flying by the seat of our banter talking about brycer we're talking about him trying to live the 140 like we're just trying to have a good time with it and make

you laugh and at some level at the piss brice and he should go off because I do I do think he's out right and like everybody probably at some point where they're like well fuck these guys like they've gone a little too far and it rattles them and then you know, they got to be careful. And so they choose people that, you know, carefully that they think they kind of want. And I think Bryce should choose as pretty much nobody outside of his super tight circle, which is really obvious by the video that he put out. I mean, we know there was no vetting process on that, right?

And so, I don't know. I think we're fucking out. I don't know how we're going to get back in. You've got to think we're at that. I mean, there's no way we're in the circle at this point. So we're definitely out. It's just how far out we are. And I do think that like, yeah, when you're really good buddies with someone, yeah, you chirp them, they chirp you.

If it goes a little too far, you're like, you know, that was a little left up that you went there. But yeah, we don't have that anymore with Bryce. And I do laugh at Frankie's point, though, of being like, you know, some social people will be like all these thoughts are my own and just right on the same thing, be like all these thoughts I don't even really believe but have that. Same thing? Yeah. Yeah, same difference, whatever. Yeah, I mean, people. like we get all the time where

buddies, buddies listen to the show and they'll be like, man, I was dying, I was dying and loved what you were saying about Paul Casey. I'm like, well, what the fuck did I say about Paul Casey? I don't know. I don't know. We're just fucking, I'm trying to get

to the next segment. I'm trying to do the next ad read. I'm trying to, like, there's not a con behind. So, for I said, it's like, your issue is, well, I really didn't like what you guys said. It's like, that's fine. I'll just, I just won't stand by it. I'll just give it I don't it's not a big deal I don't care this won't stand by oh what do you want me to tweet it out and say I take back whatever I said bryson says I said something I'm not taking it all back

fun that's fun like the few exceptions like the old man golf media stuff I think that that kind of got us fired up we said a lot of things that we really did meet in there so like yeah frankie you said there's a couple there's a couple uh you know issues and topics where I'll stand by but in terms of like um a bryson versus brooks feud and who roasted who and who's got the but i'm gonna talk about that right let me take that back fine take it back i don't it doesn't matter doesn't mean anything to me doesn't mean anything to my future if it helps our friendship i'll too sleep better at night but i i don't care and like you guys said about i think frankie said about about about bubble where it's like i don't want to hurt you but i said

i'm not trying to hurt you man i don't want your mental psyche and emotional psyche to be effective by what I said on a podcast where I don't even care about what I say, I'll take it back. It just doesn't mean anything to me. That big deal. This whole situation is reminding me of just how much the world has changed. Because at last year's PJ Championship, we were at the front gates at Bethpage Black,

just roasting guys as they walked in. That's where, I mean, Frankie said he was going to beat up Matthew Fitzpatrick, and that started a whole thing. He's obviously a guy who gets it and still comes on the show. But just in terms of a bigger picture, like our bread and butter was going to these tournaments, and busting guys' balls as soon as they walked in, Frankie getting chipping lessons on the range.

And now we've just got fucking rigs wandering around Harding Park by himself because the world is so different. It's just very strange. Taking back everything I've ever said. Yeah, exactly. I was just saying, like, this podcast really unraveled there with some Bryson comments. Oh, no, I'll take that back.

I don't stand by this, whatever. Didn't mean that. The only thing I did mean, I hate old name. We're just here to talk about sports and then, like, come on the podcast and people will like you as a person. That's like, that's what we do to. to the players. Like, we don't really know who they are.

So just come on and, like, and diffuse all these, like, takes that we have of you. Because all we see is you're looking for ant holes. And that's what we're going to talk about. Or maybe, but the thing is, there's no sense to come on, Bryson, like, if you really stand by the ant thing, you know? So you really, you know,

because I don't know if I'm going to see eye to eye with somebody that says the ants in the way of the ball and I can't play. All right. Sunglasses. I'm just wearing mine right now. I just put my shady rays on. I ordered three pair the other day.

I'm Shady Ray's. I actually put this all over my Instagram. You got to have sunglasses. You got to have good sunglasses. It's another one of those things where I feel like for some reason, the sunglasses industry has just been charging people out the wazoo for decades and getting away for it or getting away with it. And it's outrageous.

I won't stand for it. Neither would Shady Ray's. They came up with a very simple solution where they make great sunglasses. They're durable. They're stylish. They work. They're polarizing, great in the golf course, except they're significantly, significantly more affordable, especially when you use the code 4Play 50. So you go to shady raise.com, use the code 4Play 50.

If you buy two or more, you get 50% off. So I bought three pair of awesome sunglasses. It was under $100. I got three pair. I love all three of them. I wear them. I rotate them because I like all three pairs so much. I wear them on the golf course, whether even if it's a little cloudy, these things brighten up the course.

They've got all kinds of different styles. They have all kinds of different lenses that come with those styles. So you can go on Shadyrays.com, pick out some of your favorite options. Use the code 4Play50, and they are going to send you multiple pair of sunglasses. So if you use two or more, again, you get two or more sunglasses, two or a pair of sunglasses. Using the code 4Play 50, you're getting 50% off. You're going to love them. You're not going to spend a fortune.

That's Shadyerase.com. Foreplay 50 is your code. True. I just got an alert that rain is starting here in four minutes. I don't know how deep we are in this podcast, but if I don't get back in Stide. So, Frankie, there is a storm. So obviously me in New Jersey and Long Island,

the, what is, Isaiah's, is coming up the coast, and it is blowing like stink here with thunder, lightning, and rain. So I... You have this at dark sky? Yes. It tells the fucking minute of when it's going to rain.

And it says... How much time you have? Eight minutes, eight minutes. Eight minutes. That was two minutes ago. So six... Yeah. You're trying to do it. Frankie's trying to do a little math on the fly that was going on here.

Yeah, that was crazy. I'm going to say this. I'm going to say that. I think if the four-man scramble were here at Harding Park, I think we would have lost. Really? I totally agree. That course is so hard. I think it's the fifth hole that was a part five.

It's not a part four is the rough. I think we'll play the hardest hole in the history. So I think it's a combination of the rough. and this wind right now is just all crosswind and just brutal and it sounds like it's like this a lot like look at this flag out here I don't know if you guys can see that thing whipping but like the wind is whipping the fairways are super tight and if you miss them you're just so fuck whereas it pine hurts like yeah you can get unlucky in the pine straw and whiskey grass here and there but for the most part you're just on like sandy area is like the first hole we had a legitimate birdie look off the left side of pioneer's number two

where large hit one down their left hit or whatever like a nine iron close and it was no problem like out here we're chipping out and trying to get up and down like we did on the fourth hole at pioneer number two i think we're doing that all fucking day long like this looks really difficult out here yeah that i mean when i played it i was like this is shockingly tough um yeah there's some holes out there that just eat you up and then as soon as i think it's probably like 13 or 14 as soon as you start going kind of back to the clubhouse that direction, but parallel to Lake Merced,

it just becomes, like if the wind's in or really, if the wind's blowing at all, you're just, it's going to eat you up. And I think we would have struggled the whole way. I just watch, I just watch Frankie look up into the sky.

I've been doing that for this couple of things. I can feel something brewing right now. The winds are, the weather's coming in. Yeah. Watch the weather come through, whatever Trent's dad says from the porch. shit. I want, I kind of want to live podcast, Frankie, going through a hurricane.

So, does Tiger done with the nine, with the nine holes? Tiger's done. I, um, so that was an area that was, yeah, that area I was standing was like right off the end of the ninth green. So the reason, like when Brooks was coming by when Tiger was there, but I was really self-conscious is because all the other media that follows kind of dissipates because it's over. And then they huddle up as a team and just like, we're standing on the edge the green so i was probably 40 feet away from tiger just talking like an asshole about how i don't care about anything that i say and so like i just had to get out of there but but yeah i mean you know i'm gonna say this i'm gonna say this i'm gonna be controversial fake this just isn't gonna be

tiger's golf tournament i don't think like i'm out here it's fucking chilly okay there's like overcast it's chilly the rough's brutal and he's not known for hitting a ton of fairways So like it just, it feels like it needs to be, you know, 95 degrees out and, you know, no rough are our guys best chances. And so I'm not saying he's not going to win. I'm still going to bet on him. But I would say that if you had to rank like venues and major championships in the next four years, you know, which ones are Tiger most likely to win, I would rank this near the bottom. Damn. positive spin from Rigsie.

That's great. That's journalism. He's got the journalist necklace on. He's becoming a journalist already. I can't wait for TIGA to get a great lead, and then Rigsie just walked that back. That's just the comment that, oh, I just didn't believe what I said. Some Saturday night when Tiger has a two-stroke league.

I think that Justin Thomas has a good chance of winning. Oh, okay. Anything else you want to share from? Now, if you think, And you think I'm not just going to walk that back as soon as Tiger makes a birdie. I'm one of the first couple holes. You're a crazy person. Like, yeah, obviously.

But I'm just objectively trying to look around here. And I try to get hyped up on a personal level for Tiger Woods for winning major championships for winning golf tournament. From what I saw a couple weeks ago in Ohio. And what I'm seeing out here, I think he's still my favorite. But it's just I would rank it near the bottom of the major championship venues that I think he. he's going to win at over the next four years. That's what I'm going to say. What's the distance?

Fucking far. And a ball doesn't travel because it's like 57 degrees right now. I have some notes here, actually. It's hard 70 played from 700 yards. Some notes. Yeah. Okay. So you just got the breakdown from Riggs about Harding Park.

You guys can actually see how we play Harding Park. we're going to do a stream, I believe, tomorrow night on the YouTube page. We did our first stream the other day, me playing a couple holes from Knives Creek. I gave a little preview of that. And then we also played, I played the, someone made fucking Augustine Ashland to the T in the golf club 2019. So I played that. I was really bad, really, really bad. I set the over under with Lurch at like 70 or something like that, or maybe even two under.

And I shot at 85. Yep. We weren't even close. So actually now I'm on Xbox tomorrow so we can probably get the crew in there and we'll play Harding Park. Someone made Harding Park in that game. So I don't know if Trent's around, Lurch,

we're going to get them in, but look out for our YouTube page tomorrow, probably tomorrow night. We're going to go live on it either way, whoever's in it. And we're going to be playing Harding Park, TPC, see how we can do. We'll set an over up here.

It'll be Tuesday night. It'll be the night you're listening to this. Yes, the night that you're listening to this. Right. So tonight, just go on our YouTube page. You'll get the notification if you subscribe. It's really easy. If you subscribe to our page, which you should already,

because the video is on there really good. You can go watch Kevin Kisner and this four minutes ground. You can watch the Barstall Travel Series, which is the one from Australia is in the works right now. Ebug is hard at work doing the first episode on that when we just flew on the side of the world. I forgot to say that we're produced by Jake Bass and Brendan Jones. That's who we're produced by.

So tonight, watch it, YouTube. We're going to be playing Harding Park. Join the chat. Any questions that you have will answer. It's a fun time. Actually, I'm pretty sure our first stream was pretty successful. Anytime you get, like, a thousand people watching on a YouTube gaming stream for your first one, I think it's pretty solid. Yeah.

I thought it was very successful. I was worried it was going to be double digits. Yeah. Sometimes, like, you know, you watch these other ones, even like our own company and they'll be doing tournaments and stuff like 400, 500 people join. We had 1,000 people for most of the night. It was really fun, yeah. Yeah. Who was that guy?

guy Dr. Max Ph.D. or whatever. Dr. Doom PhD or some bullshit like that. I absolutely tore me to pieces. And if you have three tomorrow, maybe we can join. We can have a stoolie joining as a fourth or something. We'll mess around. We'll change around the fucking format. Yeah.

I love it. Yeah, very successful start. That's coming tonight when you're listening, boardplay golf on YouTube. All right, fellas, I think that's all I got, live from Harding Park. I'm excited. It's a major week.

You guys like into it, by the way, have you gotten to that point yet or you're into it? Or do you got to build up for it this week? I'm kind of into it. See and Tiger take some swings made me get more into it because at the start of the day, I was not as into it. But I think as the week goes on, I'm going to get much, much more. I've gotten the New York hockey islanders playing playoff hockey. I saw my juices are, I'm bone dry after watching those games.

I mean, you couldn't fucking, you couldn't squeeze a piece of juice out of me. the fucking industrial-sized juicer. Did they win today? Did they win today, too? They played 12 o'clock the next two days. Oh, okay. So they're 1 in the series? Yeah.

Gotcha. Yeah, Rangers are pretty much out of the playoffs. They actually play tomorrow at 8, so while we're playing, I'll probably have that on. Yeah. Oh, I have something else to say, too. I took a wrong turn today and ended up right next to an in-and-out burger, so I went in there, obviously.

And it was significantly better than I remembered. It was. So good. It was phenomenal. You got a four by four or six by six? What did you get? I got the double double. So I got a nice double cheeseburger.

You guys know I have a little bit of, you know, a bowels issue. I was going to be walking around the course all day. I didn't want to get stuck out of here. I have to go to the restroom. Briggs you run. So I just stuck with one burger and no milkshake. I just got a I just got a lemonade.

I've been kind of on a lemonade kick lately. Oh. I will say I don't. It's a risk of my steam. You can have a half an hour. It's not out pouring on my laptop right now. Lemonade's good. Thank you.

I do like lemonade. I can't tell. Like they asked me if I wanted pink or light. And like I think it's kind of 50-50. You guys have like a big preference? Pink or light? Those aren't the options. Pink and light are.

not the options. I go for the pink, my dog. You know what I'm saying? That's when he said, Lurch. You weren't there, Lurch. Pink and light. Fair enough. I would have my answer to him might have been, are there any other options besides pink and light? That guy would have said that to Lurge and be like, what the fuck did you just say to me? You mother, man, you serve the lemonade, you piece of shit. I will say, when he said that, I thought that's just what more people called, like,

yellow lemonade. So I just said, I just said pink. And that's what I got. It was really good. I wouldn't believe how hard it's raining. I don't know if I could hear the actual water droplets on my laptop. Do you have an umbrella or anything? You're just getting wet. I'm just getting wet right now. The laptop's just getting wet. I think that's probably a good time then to end it. Also, really tough decision when you're getting a burger like that to get an ice cold Coca-Cola or milkshake. Two totally different experiences. One's not going to quench your thirst at all, but it's also going to offset, like, that bite into the milkshake, really good combo.

But sometimes when you get a burger and you wash it down with, like, the coldest cola of all the time, there is no better feeling, aside from watching the islanders, shut down a team like Florida Panthers, but shut down, Deacon Barry Troth and his fucking shoulders knows how to fucking build a hockey team. Let's go, boys. I was so with you before you just started going crazy, but I couldn't agree more with the milkshake Coca-Cola thing. Really tough to see.

Because you are right. It's two wildly different experiences, but they're both fantastic. Really good. Oh, it makes a great photo chance, right? I've got to take a photo shot right here. All right, boys. Well, Frankie, get safe, you know what I mean? Yep, I appreciate it.

Frankie, good luck in the store, man. Thanks, guys. Riggs, try to blend in as best you can. I think you should drive us up as a Cypress tree and kind of meander around the course, but you do what you do. I think that's a terrible idea. I think it's so good. If there was a picture of you mimicking a cypress tree next to a green, it'd be the funniest photo.

That'll appear on Lurchy Lus Picks 2.0 tomorrow. That's right. You're just tall meandering. We had at least some money coming back with Ricky Fowler. So those are Lurkey Luskechick. Jesus Christ. We're going to end it. All right.

We're going to end it. We're going to end it. That's all I got. We'll be back on Thursday. Go watch the stream tonight. Hit it hard. Hit it hard. Hit it hard.

You hear this, right?
